This morning we went kayaking. This afternoon we went hiking. We did both in the exact same spot, which was pretty unique.

Today we got our first taste of the extreme tides in the Bay of Fundy. The water level can change upwards of 10 m in just 6 hours, transforming inlets into canyons. The following pairs of photos are taken around noon and 6pm, respectively.

Kayaking around St. Martins, NB, was great fun. After exploring the caves (the ones in the photos above), we headed out to a secluded little rocky beach where our guides, Rhonda and Josh, treated us to a lunch of biscuits with jam, as well as dulce (more on that in a future post).

“What a great day so far. It’s actually very rarely this nice, sunny, and calm.” Rhonda commented as we relaxed and ate. “But weather here can change really quickly.”

As if to prove her right, the water started to turn choppy just as we began heading back. In the end, it was a race to shore to make sure we were on land before the thunderstorm rolled through. The clouds had something to prove; they could transform things even quicker than the tides.
