We left PEI today headed for New Brunswick. It was a beautiful day. We crossed the Confederation Bridge over the Northumberland Strait. That was impressive.

Our main stop for the day was at Hopewell Rocks on the Bay of Fundy. I am sure that everyone has heard of the tides on the Bay of Fundy, and we got a chance to witness them ourselves today. Additionally, it was the days of the closest approach of the moon, so the tides were at their largest. It was about a 41 foot difference. We went down to the beach around the bottom of these rocks at low tide and walked around a bit. A naturalist gave a very interesting running narrative about the history, geology and hydrology of the area. And sure enough, the tide kept rising, as King Canute knew all along. The photo is at a point where the tide had several more feet to rise. At low tide, the Bay of Fundy is converted into a giant mud flat.
