Day 4 – Bay of Fundy

Sunset and receding tide at Five Islands.

Finally made it to Nova Scotia! We are camped at Five Islands Provincial Park on the Bay of Fundy. It was a bit of a trying day. Dropped the Tiger about 30 seconds after entering Canada. Stopped to wait for Don to get through the checkpoint and got off balance. The bike took a hard fall, but it’s well armored and no damage done. Had 5 border agents out there helping. I was probably the excitement for the day at that fairly remote crossing. Must say, Canadians are very friendly and outgoing. People come up to talk at almost every stop.

At low tide, the islands are just sitting on a mud flat.

The Bay of Fundy has the highest tidal change in the world. The water level changes about 45 feet twice a day. I think the average worldwide is around 3 feet.

The view from the campground.

Twice each day, 160 billion tonnes of seawater flow in and out of the Bay of Fundy — more than the combined flow of the world’s freshwater rivers!

  1. Sounds like you are having wonderful time,except for dropping the tiger.I am filled with envy but don’t think I would have been able to have made the trip. Went yesterday about 350 miles and when came home was water. Just not tough enough any more. Have a wonderful time but please be careful.Neil

  2. Good morning ☀️ guys! Derek is that the same campground we stayed at? Enjoying your daily journal and pics. Wish we were there. Two of our favorite memories are our trips to Nova Scotia. Remember I dropped my motorcycle while there. Same thing I was off balance. So happy for you both. Bet Don is really loving it! Tell him hello 👋🏻 We always encourage people to go there.

  3. Oh did you take Don down into what they call teapot rock. It’s where you walk around on ocean floor. I thought was interesting.
