The west side of Boundary Bay is about 20 minutes ahead of Point Atkinson.
The lat, long of the harmonics used by the Tide program for the Vancouver
location is listed as 49.2833 deg N, 123.1167 deg W (tenths of degrees).
I don't have a chart handy to see if this is indeed Point Atkinson. Should
be close anyway.
