The Bay of Fundy

One of the places we wanted to visit in Canada was the Bay of Fundy, located halfway between the equator and the north-pole separating New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The first morning we were there I managed to get up early enough to see a glorious sunrise.

Twice each day, 160 billion tons of seawater flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy — more than the combined flow of the world’s freshwater rivers! The Bay of Fundy’s tides transform the shorelines, tidal flats and exposed sea bottom as they flood into the bay and its harbors and estuaries.

Amazing difference between high and low tides.

The tide needs to rise high enough for the boats to be level with the docks.image

The forests are so lush, which also means it is incredibly humid, so much different than Colorado. The moss is thick enough to support  growth on the rock.

  1. I love your expert descriptions of a magical place. We want to head back there in a year, as it has been 20 since we were there. We will get your thoughts too!
