Cherryfield to Hopewell Cape, NB

We cross the border at Calais

into St. Stephen, New Brunswick

Our first picnic lunch

Wren starts taking "short cuts"

so we can see the "real Canada"

Alma on the Bay of Fundy

gives us a sense of the tides

and a taste of Canada's fishing villages

They have to tie supports under the boats to keep them upright when the tide falls

Notice the cage around the prop which not only keeps it off the bottom,
but also prevents it from getting fowled by lobster pot lines

We finally arrive at the Hopewell Rocks

on the Bay of Fundy where the tide is down nearly 40 feet

We walked down a long way before we even got to the stairs

The tide rises 6 to 8 feet per hour, but since they close at 8 p.m. we couldn't stay to see it rise.

On to Day 2, or back to the Trip Index
