July 9 Bay of Fundy Tidal Bore






Low tide


A sample of how low the tide gets.  Pretty amazing stuff!






Low tide at Burncoat Head Park

An interesting tree at the park.




We followed the incoming tide from Burntcoat Head, then about 25 minutes later we made it to Maitland and 45 minutes after that we saw it coming in at Truro.  At this time of year it was not a huge wave, but at a full moon it can be as much as a 20 foot wave!  It was pretty cool to watch it come in and it is fast.

Maitland low tide


Here come the rafters following the tide in from Burntcoat to Maitland.

The tide is moving fast.


Some very foolish kids were swimming in one of the river off shoots, but in a matter of minutes the tide rose 6 feet or so.  They got out safely, but it was a foolish thing to do!



On the race back to Truro we passed these cuties.

Many of these same folks we saw in Maitland and one couple we saw in Burntcoat

Here it comes...this is the begining
