We returned to Hopewell Rocks at about 11:40AM this morning to watch the high tides for a while. This is what I read on their information board. "Imagine 100 billion tons of fresh water moving in and out of the bay every 25 hours. Powered by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Fundy's tides are among the highest in the world and vary daily with the changing positions of these celestial bodies. The tides travel at 6 - 8 vertical feet per hour depending on the moon."
Before the water got too high, we saw people kayaking under the Lover's Arch. The last one almost did not make it.
