Ship's Haven and Wolfe Point

Ships Haven is a cove about three miles South of the town of Alma, New Brunswick in Fundy National Park. In my view Fundy NP is to Canada what Yellowstone NP is to the USA: a Jewel of the Natural World.

 This is Ship's Haven

at High Tide.

Notice the Beach

at Right Center.

 Three hours later.

Wolfe Point is

upper Right.

There is a lovely Path

(mostly Boardwalk)

down to the beach.

The shoreline at

Fundy National Park

is mostly cliffs.

To get down requires

a lot of steps like these.

Almost to the Sea

but it keeps receding

with the Tide.

 On the Beach

from the first PIC.

Well, not quite...

At High Tide Jan would be

in over her head.

Nova Scotia is out there

in the East.

Finally to the Sea

at Wolfe Point.

At High Tide

(in just 6 hours)

Jan would be about

32 feet

under water.

 Geology at work.

These Oscillation Ripple Marks

are in mud.

They will be many feet

under the Sea at

High Tide.

These same patterns can be

seen in sedimentary rock

which was once ancient seabed.

Dickson Falls

When we think about Fundy NP we will remember steps, lts of them.

Don't be fooled by this

bucolic scene at the

start of the trail.

It quickly turns to boardwalk

and hundreds of steps.

 Notice the Mist in the air.

This "forest fog" is typical

of the area and is caused

by the cold Bay of Fundy water.

 Notice how green it is.

 Ferns and Moss....

Dickson Falls.

Bay of Fundy memories

Forty-six years ago Jan's Mom and Dad loaded the station wagon with six kids ranging in age from 15-3.  Off on a big adventure to see another country.  We landed at Fundy Bay where we all had a wonderful time.  This year we decided to go to Fundy Bay so that Jan could finally share that magical place with Lew.
First are the past memories that her brothers and sisters might recall.

Entrance to the park view

Amphitheater seemed smaller than I remembered.

 

The golf course that my brothers and Dad played.

Near to high tide...about 30 minutes low.

Near Low tide..about 30 minutes off
