The Bay of Fundy is known for it's extreme tides. From the Bay of Fundy website, "The high tides of the Bay of Fundy are a result of the oscillation of the water within the Fundy basin, combining with the movement of Atlantic waters to result in the phenomenon of resonance. The shallowing shape toward the head of the bay multiplies the effect of the resonance." Whatever they say must be right - the tides are extreme. In some places, the tides can reach 35 feet - Yikes! These people have it hard trying to make a living on the water with tides like that. See below. |

Low tide. I did see someone working on the bottom of their boat during low tide. Hey! Better than having to pull it out! |
