Last Bay of Fundy - June 5-6, 2017

 Yesterday, we stopped at Hopewell Rocks on the Bay of Fundy.  For a few hours around low tide, it is possible to walk the ocean floor around the caves and sea stacks they call "flower pots" because of the vegetation growing out the top.  We spent an hour strolling the sometimes muddy, sometimes rocky ocean floor before returning to our campground about a mile away.

We returned this morning to kayak around the flower pots and into the caves at high tide, BUT it was 44 degrees with a brisk wind blowing.  Just no way for these folks that are now used to South Carolina weather to brave those temps, winds and waves on the Bay.  We had to settle for just a few photos that show the "after" at 1 1/2 hours before high tide.  The interpretive guide said the water would rise another 5 feet.  During the right time of the month for really high tides, it would rise another 10 feet to the above the narrowest portions of the rocks for a total of just under 40 feet from low to high tide.  Wow.

A good couple of days, despite the fact that our friendly Yellow Warbler returned just before daylight to start attacking our windows again.  Jack threatened to put a diaper on him if he didn't quit messing up our mirrors.
