2015-08-08 South Maitland and Bay of
Fundy-Tidal Bore Area
After a nice
drive down from Pictou we arrived at South Maitland just as the tide was
changing from low to incoming (Bore tide). We were able to park next to the
Shubenacadie River and watched the running tide. I’ve never seen a tide run so
fast. It went from zero water in the river to four feet inside an hour and it
was still rising when we stopped for the day. Now I can’t wait to see it
tomorrow at high tide and see if I can measure it. Some of the below photos
will help visualize it.
We saw about
13-14 small rubber type boats with seven
people per boat come up the river as it deepened. Three of them emptied in
front of us and the people walked to their vehicles in the parking lot.
Apparently they left from here for the ride and were returning. They had to slog through the mud from high tide and were a bit wet from their boat ride.
