DESCRIPTION

It is extremely important that a pilot unfamiliar with this site a) check with the local club and b) ascertain true wind direction before launching. You will pass Partridge Island beach before you get to launch and a more accurate assessment of wind direction can be obtained there.

ACTIVITIES

- paragliding

weather

Important Note: If the wind direction shifts into the south there is a danger of leeside rotor at launch, behind Cape Sharp and that can happen here very quickly. The Bay of Fundy exhibits a phenomenal tidal range. At certain phases of the moon the high tide can reach the base of the cliffs. Low tide is equally exaggerated.. SE winds have a nasty habit of being short lived before they shift into the SW.
