Bay of Fundy Fog

The Famous Bay of Fundy Fog. It has been following our progress along the Nova Scotian coast line. Particularly in the Bay of Fundy, tides range 7.60m and even up to 15.20m in some areas making them some of the highest ranges in the world. One of the results of these massive tidal ranges is FOG. And a lot of it! Another impact is that large volumes of the North Atlantic Ocean surges in and out of the bay twice a day and smashes through the Fundy Isles, the water layers are mixed up bringing the very cold water from the deep to the surface. This in turn cools down the air and when it meets the warm moist air drifting off the landmass creating FOG.

We have lost sight of the tip of our jib boom a few times and with a safe speed keeping a close eye on the radar we felt our way into Lunenburg Bay. The infamous fishing and racing schooner the Bluenose II welcomed us into the bay under full sail. With the Picton Castle moored in the port the three tall ships make for quite the sight!
