last night we stayed at Marie and Henry's place out side Wolfville, Nova Scotia. We had a good dinner and evening together. We met them in Liscomb Mills, about a month ago, they got us connected with Gold River for haul out ...and thanks guys for keeping a box of goodies that can't freeze for use next year on Modaki ... see you in June 2013 !!!
these grape vines are not covered for the rain that is pouring down on us, but for the birds, there is lots of wineries in this area
then we came across some one that is all ready for Christmas
then off to Burncoat Head, area of the World's highest recorded tides ...
we planned this again for low tide, which works out well this time of the year because it is in the mornings ...
walking down to the ocean floor
the tide was still going out and it was raining a bit, so it was a bit slippery in the red clay
there is one Flower Pot here, it sure is a lot bigger than me
The first lighthouse was built in 1858 on land that later became an island due to the effects of erosion. The light house was dismantled in 1913 and the second one was built on the mainland from the salvaged lumber. Then it was decommissioned in 1972 and in 1994 a replica of the 1913 lighthouse was erected.
twice every day the Bay of Fundy fills and empties its 100 billion tons of water creating the highest tides in the world.
there is fossils here too, but we had no luck finding any
further down the road an old wharf
it is pouring rain now and we are looking at the Five Island Lighthouse Park, note a hole in the island rock (Left), and there is one Flower Pot in view (right), there is mud flats and a lighthouse that is 100 years old.
this day's adventures finished with this one of a kind fence, metal ironing board's, and there was one horizontal board used as a swinging gate ... and an active windmill too (blades are the ironing boards) ... too cool
