We decide to stick around Moncton for the day to catch the Tidal Bore and because the weather is going to be a little better tomorrow when we head for Hopewell Cape.
So you might ask, what is a Tidal Bore? Well, (Bore=crest or wave) it is a natural phenomenon which is seen in very few parts of the world.
The Bay of Fundy is particularly noted for its extremely high tides, the highest in the world, and for its tadal bores. Twice in a 24 hours, the Petitcodiac River empties and fills. The higher waters in the Bay cause the water in the placid Petitcodiac River to roll back upstream in one wave, which can range in height from 3 to 60 cm. From what we could see the wave was about 20-30 cm today.
It seems it's Tammie's turn to under the weather now, hopefully it doesn't last to long.
We are off to St. Huberts for dinner tonight, it's been about 30 years since the last time I ate at one, I hope it's still as good as I remember.
Another night of free camping at Wal-mart.
Hello John, Tammie and Indira. Well its been a while. Wonderful progress across our great land. And nicely photographed. We met briefly in Walmart here in Nanaimo at the beginning of your journey. Our westy is ready in two months and we'll be taking our careers on the road for many years to come. Perhaps we'll pass you on the road some day. Smiles and blessings. Mark and Tracey
