Our group of “caravaner’s” preparing to raft the tidal bore. Jenny went rafting but the rest of us stayed back to watch and take pics. The most exciting part was watching them struggle down the shoe-sucking muddy bank to wait for the rafts to arrive.
Uh, that water is coming up really fast!
Took a long time to get down the bank. Seemed like there was plenty of time to explore while they wait for the rafts to arrive… At high tide, the water is up to the top of the bank where people are standing (where the dark brown mud turns to light brown dirt)
I think that is Jennie with the baseball hat; seated in back on far left. Understandably; once back at camp she couldn’t wait to shower off the mud. The tune to Gilligan’s Island keeps playing in my head…
Splashing in muddy tidal water. Tide is just beginning to come in. Note the high water line on bank in background… The average tide, around the world is about 3 feet. The tide here can be more than 50 feet. Another interesting trivia bit (per Wiki) is: by volume, twice as much water flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy in a day as ALL the water in all the rivers of the world, combined…
