Yesterday was the first day of the Lunar New Year. When I let the pups out into the backyard in the morning I spotted four quarters on the deck banister and I considered it a good omen. It turns out they were left there last weekend in four inches of snow when a friend feltContinue reading “A Day of Firsts…”

German Language Tour, My First!
There is a time for everything… this weekend I had a chance to share Soley Cove with visitors from Vienna. The rain held off and I dug deep into my memory for German terminology to do our Jurassic Coast line in the Upper Bay of Fundy justice. The tide was high and relatively slow inContinue reading “German Language Tour, My First!”
The final swirl…
…or, one more “Meeting of the Waters” immersion! Today was the last day for this moon phase to experience the incoming tide. It was also the last opportunity to actually stand on the ocean floor as the waters come together and swirl around our calves. With the next full moon the Bay of Fundy watersContinue reading “The final swirl…”
Soley Cove at Early Light!
This week has been fantastic for early light tours! My clients from Michigan booked this tour after seeing the “Keep You Daydream” video feature of the tour I conducted. Who could have known that the mid-June excursion with Tricia, Marc and Caleb would generate so much interest in a short amount of time? We arrivedContinue reading “Soley Cove at Early Light!”

On the positive side, there was some great news I had been waiting for from the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark: the Board approved the proposal for a Hike Nova Scotia Challenge Badge! In conjunction with the launchContinue reading “Close to home…”
Immersed in Bay of Fundy Tidal Action: Meeting of the Waters
Today was the first opportunity this summer to experience the incoming tide and feel the water rising from my ankles to just above my knees in 30 seconds. We were not disappointed by the action of water swirling around Big Island. It’s always a fantastic experience… the water was warm and the experience most therapeutic.Continue reading “Immersed in Bay of Fundy Tidal Action: Meeting of the Waters”
The Meeting of the Waters: Cat Bird Seat to Experiencing Tidal Force
Visitors to the Bay of Fundy’s Minas Basin usually hear about “The Highest Tides in the World” but unless one witnesses the tidal bore forging up a river, the incoming tidal speed, force and volume of water remains an abstract idea. In Parrsboro we are very fortunate because there is one beach where one gainsContinue reading “The Meeting of the Waters: Cat Bird Seat to Experiencing Tidal Force”
