Notes

We discovered that our previous measurement site was about N 45 39 58 W 75 38 30. We did not have the cell GPS application that worked on the water. I downloaded an app and we went to the correct site which is N 45 39 58 W 75 38 29. According to a calculation done by AI the distance between the two sites is 21.59 meters. This might affect the longitudinal trend. I added a picture of a loon that was near us during the testing.
