Sunny Day at the Harbour

Post by vintage AE »

It was hot out today, I'm at home, my wife has a day job, so I head to the Bay of Fundy at Baxter's Harbour in Nova Scotia. This place is near where I grew up and about an hour and a half away from where I live now. The Bat of Fundy has the highest tides in the world due to the shape of it's cost line. The coastal area the borders the Nova Scotia side is lined with Basalt, which is a volcanic rock, very similar to Hawaii. It's perfect rock for RC rock crawling.

It's been quoted on one of the tourism sites that an estimated 100 billion tonnes of sea water travels in and out of the bay each day

This is quoted from Wikipedia
"The Bay of Fundy is known for its high tidal range. The quest for world tidal dominance has led to a rivalry between the Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy and the Leaf Basin in Ungava Bay, over which body of water lays claim to the highest tides in the world, with supporters in each region claiming the record.
The Canadian Hydrographic Service finally declared it a statistical tie, with measurements of a 16.8 metre (55.1 feet) tidal range in Leaf Basin for Ungava Bay and 17 meters (55.8 feet) at Burntcoat Head for the Bay of Fundy.[5] The highest water level ever recorded in the Bay of Fundy system occurred at the head of the Minas Basin on the night of October 4–5, 1869 during a tropical cyclone named the “Saxby Gale”. The water level of 21.6 metres (70.9 feet) resulted from the combination of high winds, abnormally low atmospheric pressure, and a spring tide."

lets just say 12.4 hours from when that photo was taken, that boat will be about 15 feet vertically higher from where it is sitting now. I don't thin he has anything to worry about, unless he has a big urge to go catch a big one :mrgreen:
