On the way following the St. Lawrence seaway past the city of Quebec. I stopped for a look at the seaway which at this point was quite wide & discovered that the tile was out. The whole area on both sides of New Brunswick are know for tidal extremes. In fact the tides can change as much as 40`. So when I drove over to the edge, I noticed that I had hit the low tide.
As you can see above, the tide was so far out that it had left a sail boat high on the mud flat. The open water is some distance farther out. You can also see the pier to the right is way out of the water.
In this picture everything from the shore to those white rocks (in the center) is mud flats. Beyond is the open water. The biggest tides are on the eastern coast of New Brunswick on the Bay of Fundy.
And now for something completely different! While driving through some small fish villages, I saw this advertising for a fast food place that specialized in french fries. It consists of the container & a bunch of 12` long 4x4.
As you can see it is a larger version of the container that they serve their french fries in. The stand is in the back / right.
I was now turning east across New Brunswick, but that is another blog.
