For 270 kilometers the Bay stretches between the Canadian Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Each and every day 160 billion tons -- I counted them : - ) -- of seawater flow in and out of the Bay; In one tide cycle this is more than the combined flow of all the world's fresh water rivers.
The best way to appreciated this 50 feet ( about 18 meters ) differential in sea level is at a pier, where, at low tide, the boats rest on the bottom, while at high tide the float near the top edge of the pilings.
We were there and here are some of the pictures taken on a cloudy day:
The Atlantic Ocean is roaring in to the Bay of Fundy, between
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia .
At Low Tide the fishing boats rest in the sand,
while at high tide they bob right at the top of the pier.
