Sounds like you're located in a great spot. And yes, we did enjoy the maritime hospitality -- this time as in past visits -- and surely, we will be back to visit the bay... I don't think we can stay away for more than a year or two. We may yet end up out there listening to the tides in the evenings before much longer. Hi Jon – Glad you stopped by to visit my blog.

You see, I moved to Maitland (well Selma actually-just outside Maitland about 4 years ago and I never get tired of the scenery and the smell and the sound of the tide. I live pretty much 200 yards away from the cobequid bay and often late at night while I am by myself enjoying a beer in my large backyard - lotsa space out my way :) ) I can hear the thunder-rush of the tide coming in.When I first moved here my kind and elderly neighbour said that I was lucky to settle down here "this place is like no other place on earth" he said then and now I believe him. Anyway - I am ramblin' on here - but I hope you enjoyed the maritime hospitality and come on back to the bay - the land of red sky, red rocks, and red water :) take care Just found your website here while looking for info on the bay of fundy tidal bore.

I suspect you've been doing it all along too. (-: The Bay of Fundy is such an interesting place. The geology, geography, flora and fauna area all so interesting, and the tides are amazing. I'll definitely post some more photos of tidal flats taken at different times during the day. Might take me awhile though as we're doing so much each day!

I had not ever heard of a spider mimic. That's a great idea too! I love the Bay of Fundy tidal bores! I knew about them, but have never seen them - I can see why your acquaintance watches them as a daily habit. Thanks for posting about them. At one time I had the intricacies of the extreme latitude and low latitude differences figured out. As I recall, one of the differences was that (on an ideal Earth, without the effect of continents) extreme northern (and southern) latitudes would get diurnal tides only (once a day hi/lo) while lower latitudes get semidiurnal tides (twice a day hi/lo). Of course because of the continents you can have those scattered about. The tides along the Great Atlantic Bight (the east coast of North Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina) are semidiurnal and tend to be no more than about 7-8' between high and low at spring tide. I agree that the higher tides at the Bay of Fundy are more likely to be due to shape of the coastline. Neat post! The “learning one new thing a day” is a great idea.
