The Bay of Fundy has a very shallow end called the Minas Basin. Obviously twice a day the tides move in and out. The amount of water that flows in and out is more than the amount of water that flows into the oceans from all the rivers of the world in the same amount of time. The Minas Basin being shallow sees huge water flow which moves huge amounts of silt and debris, therefore the water is rich red with all of the red clay that makes up the area. With the largest tides in the world, The Bay of Fundy is truly amazing and its going to take some time to explore it more completely.
Note the calving of the bank
on the right, this island was part of the mainland until 1913
The land bridge has been washed away since 1913
Tide is almost out
another tributary at near low tide
Had dinner and visit with Peter and Clara, who we met in Drumheller near the beginning of our trip. They are from Comox. They made us a tasty scallop dinner acquired from Digby. Thank you! This will be our last passing on this trip. See you on the other side...
