Well said, Elton, and as for the crossing of the royal bay, Be sure to stop
in at Bellisle and see what the international Savoie/Savoy group is up to.
They have purchased the Belleisle hall which was an Acadian meeting hall at the
turn of the century. There will be a plaque dedicated to the Savoies that came
to Acadie from France. The location of the original homestead is off a ways
in the marsh.
