Cape Bear Lighthouse - close to going over cliff!

     I was out to Cape Bear in eastern Prince Edward Island last Friday morning.  I took the following photos of the historic Cape Bear Lighthouse.  It's still there and not yet moved to a safer location.
     I prepared site development drawings 11 years ago to relocate the lighthouse to another site and again in 2009, however, for a variety of reasons the lighthouse was never moved.  The problem now is the lighthouse is so close to the cliff that construction moving equipment can't safely get in to prepare the move.  Possibly they could use a wind turbine crane to lift it away from the cliff and save it from its impending demise.
     Will the lighthouse go over the cliff in the spring of 2014?
