P.S. 10 feet is the average difference between high and low tide on the Cape. I'm not sure if I can buy that..
Fred, the guy who did the origianal survey work on our subdivision in the 60's was a known quart or better a day man.. I am just real glad that the boundries..were in the right place, as I know of other subdivisions he did, that years later had problems... he had one whole subdivisions markers all off by 5 feet..and that took years of land court to straighten out...
ah.. the old days on the sandBAR
