The Bay of Fundy

Packed up for our day-trip across Nova Scotia to Hall's Harbour on the Bay of Fundy.  Marley all ready for the trip. We will get to the bay at low tide.

Tide already coming in a long way

The restaurant we didn't eat at in Halls Harbour

The tide at this particular point and on this particular day will have a differential of 40 feet. The Bay of Fundy is know to have the worlds greatest tides.

These ships, now sitting high and dry, will soon be floating in deep water.

The small harbour is home to the lobster boats belonging to the local fishermen.

A wide open beach. A great place to explore and go beach-combing.

I found a great natural walking stick and will take it back to BC. The rock outcroppings were especially interesting having endured centuries of wave action.

These rocks are covered with moss that, as they dry in the sun, resemble the parting of human hair.

Another area of natural rock carving and cave forming by the constant coming and going of the tide

We set up our chairs and watched as the tide made its way in. 

Ever closer and at an amazing rate.

Soon the places where we walked  and explored were under the sea.

And the boats were righted and once again floating ready to head out to catch more lobster.

Heading back to Dartmouth we drove through some beautiful farm land.

Never far from the sea.

We looked for and finally found this restaurant by the sea and had a wonderful meal with our friends.

The setting was perfect and the weather held.

Our last view of the now at high tide Bay of Fundy. We will head back to Dartmouth for our last night here in Nova Scotia.



Tomorrow we plan to leave by 9am if possible and head north through a bit of New Brunswick before crossing the Confederation Bridge and into Prince Edward Island.
