I've always wondered about the Bay of Fundy. I've lived at the other side of the planet with the second highest tidal range- the River Severn and the Bristol Channel. Piers such as Ilfracombe and further upstream, Clevedon, have three decks, and the tidal range is easily over 40 feet. Morecambe Bay, on the edge of The Lake District, doesn't have anywhere near the same range, but it is a huge bay with that completely dries out and fills with an incoming tide faster than a man can run. There are also constantly changing quicksands.
Too bad you didn't show high tide. I am the owner of the little blue sailboat near the first of the video. Tides are nice but I only have about a two hour "window " of time to sail., then only every other week as the tides are about an hour later each day . So if it is high at 2pm today , it will be low at 2pm same day next week.
Very interesting, apparently the largest tidal range in the world, 50 feet (15 meters); huge. Apparently a resonance effect where by the natural period of the bay determined by its geometry imparts this to the constrained water mass within & goes towards matching the lunar semi diurnal tidal forcing period of 12.4 hours.
Bristol Channel in UK can get extremely high tidal swings too, although on average about 2-3 meters less than the bay of Fundy. It is still an extremely dangerous stretch of water with many sandbanks and inter-tidal islands along the way. I am not sure but I believe Avonmouth can reach up to 32 feet on very high tides. Which would place it on any top 10 high tide list but well short of most locations on the Bay Of Fundy.
I have been there a couple of times. Very impressive! You see large lobster boats sitting on the ground, with steel keel beams and steel shrouds around the prop. 40 foot tides and the largest lobsters I have ever seen. Beautiful country.
the "steel shrouds" around the prop are called "baskets" and they are to help keep the prop free from the lines that run down to the lobster traps from the surface of the water when they are in use. You need to remember that little prop is your only means of moving that giant boat if it gets fouled you are heading to the rocks mother nature is cruel but fair :)
@@Dargonkin527 thanks for that explanation. Not knowing very much about boats, I assumed the baskets were too protect the props from ground contact at low tide? Anyway, it's a really beautiful place. I have spent a lot of time in Halifax, and I had to see the bay of fundy, Glad I did.
@@jamesrobinson5672 no not for that, if you look closer you will see that the keel of the boat extends out further then the prop both to protect the prop from that issue when grounding and also to provide a solid connection point for the rudder which is how you steer the boat when its under power. Those props are actually engineered to exact specs as it will give a very rough ride if it ever gets out of alignment or suffers damage from any number of causes...Hmm, It seems my fishing village upbringing has never left me after all :)
@@Dargonkin527 You ALWAYS need to have a back-up plan. I suggest diving gear, a powerful headlamp, wrist lamp and a good knife. Keep tethered to your boat. Go down, cut the line free and get back to work.
Nope if you look closely enough you will see the end of the props are a bit above the ground(by design) and could actually be turning while grounded if so needed to be, for repairs/adjustments etc. @@jamesrobinson5672
Nice vid lads. Good scenery too. This vid has cleared some things up for me too. Where I live the tidal range is about 3-4 metres. When I had previously saw pics only of the dock it reminded me of where I live and I thought to myself that tidal range is nowhere as big as I expected it looks similar to home. What I now realise after seeing this vid is that low water is well below the base of the dock!
Good video man. The Bay of Fundy is famous for anyone who knows anything about tides and it's fascinating to actually see it with the avuncular style to boot. I believe it's local geography causing a harmonic resonance that causes these huge tidal ranges , the springs must be good. Excellent.
exactly is is the "funnel" shape of the bay that makes these tides as high as they are, when that land bridge between NB and NS eventually gets worn through by these tides then all these tides will disappear......
Trust me, they do. It's not as uncommon as you'd think. Search and Rescue helicopters are deployed all the time for that very issue. There are a lot of bluffs there so people go for walks and get stuck between the cliff face and the water.
Could you give us some Google Earth Coordinates? I try to find this location, but the bay of Funde is quiet large. Would love to see where you guys actually hanged out? Where that lighthouse stands? It must be somewhere around here I guess: 45°12'03.45" N 64°37'09.34" W
Snowwie88 LOL..oh wow...that might be a bit further away from where it really is. Just search for Parrsboro Nova Scotia, Canada. That should take you right there. :)
In days past, thief's would be tied to a log piling pounded into the ground. The tide would close in around them and by morning the crabs were having a field day.
Barry. In S-Wales UK has the second highest rise and fall of tide in the world-Next time shoot the vid in March or September in S-Wales-Amazing as this is, its not as picturesque as BARRY-Come and see for yourselves,,,
Lets find the lowest point where the 40ft is believable but verifiable .With a laser in a boat to one perspective to the same when tide is out.Some kind of device that shows latitude longitude high tide low tide would be a much more interesting video.

I was thinking the same thing. I was hoping they'd show it coming in.

what's the meaning of this video?
So where is the high tide footage ? They could of provided a link to it here at least
Were the water
I've been going to check this out.

@@demonhalo67 It may also be a local resonance effect there too? Check to see if any oceanographic studies have been done there.
Wow…that beautiful sunset sky! Such pretty colors in the evening!

Why did I watch this and get no payoff in the end ?
The tide does that in Port Orford Oregon too. They hoist the boats up on the dock before low tide every night on custom made trailers.
This is the equivalent of a porn movie where they actually deliver a pizza without sausage.
You can never have enough sausage......🤣
Parrsboro is interesting too, There's an interesting geology and fossil museum, great people and marvelous family restaurants.
Hi mate. Look up north west Western Australia. Very big tides too. Around the Pilbara and The Kimberley’s
Thumbs down no footage of the tide coming in...
Nothing happened ! ??
Challenge time: take a shot every time he says 'just to give you a perspective...'
perspective is the word.

Shanky shots of empty bay and lots and lots and lots of this talking face. Total waste of time.
Nothing here folks, move along.
Why didn't you say so before all the other comments? Usuk
Disappointed in your production of your video! I waited the whole video to see what it looked like during high tied & never got to see it.
How many times do you think it is necessary to tell the same thing before we, the viewers, will actually comprehend what this video is about?
13 plus metres. That's mental! great vid by the way.
Well done video. Thanks
OJB reacts should watch this!!!
Little kids: THE WATER RECEDED, EVERYBODY THERES A TSUNAMI
Me: ?
I think about 16m is the tidalrange
well done -- makes it very personable in an easy way that's easy to relate to experiencing and great use of filming scenes in sequences and narrative
Huh??? There goes my 6 Minutes
Dock Holiday.
There is nothing radical about this video. There is however a serious lack of high tide.
If you watch Flat Earth Debate on Nathan Oakley channel.... the bay of “ Fundys “ takes on a whole new meaning 😂😂😂

We have a good tide in morecambe UK
Showing the high tide would have been great
Thanks. 😎👍👍
Fundy flooding the dream smp server
It is amazing how high the high tide is, how come people don't drown which the tide so fast?
Trust me, they do. It's not as uncommon as you'd think. Search and Rescue helicopters are deployed all the time for that very issue. There are a lot of bluffs there so people go for walks and get stuck between the cliff face and the water.

They do
is another low tide
Great .
How can you possibly make a video like this without showing the "after" shots? I feel cheated after watching all six minutes of this video.
Sorry to disappoint you!
excellent video ..;))
sorry man, but the lack of a high tide comparison is so disappointing
Could you give us some Google Earth Coordinates? I try to find this location, but the bay of Funde is quiet large. Would love to see where you guys actually hanged out? Where that lighthouse stands?
It must be somewhere around here I guess: 45°12'03.45" N 64°37'09.34" W
Open Google maps and enter these coordinates 45.403210 , 64.326552 This will put you at Parrsboro N.S Canada
I have tried both Google Maps and Google Earth and in both instances it takes me to a remote place east of the (former) Aral Sea in Russia. (????)
Snowwie88 LOL..oh wow...that might be a bit further away from where it really is. Just search for Parrsboro Nova Scotia, Canada. That should take you right there. :)

Show before and after. Don't tell us about it. What a waste

Thats a tidal flat in rookie size. Welcome to the wadden sea buddy!
All the gay guys took the tuff names , Like Bruce and lance , lol just to give you a little perspective !!!!!
Where is water????
Whales drank it. Later they'll piss it back out and all will be well.

Very informative and interesting. Great footage and thanks so much for sharing. Thumbs up!
The Bay of Fundy is not IN Nova Scotia; it’s BETWEEN Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Shut up
This is the minus basin section of the bay of fundy
globe eh?
Lol I live there
talk about a screwed up video
Your camera has awful dynamic range.

Don’t quite get the point of this video. 6 minutes of some jabronie walking on the mudflats and 0 minutes of tidal action.
