A tidal bore is a wall of water that moves up certain low-lying rivers due to an incoming tide. Tidal bores form when an incoming tide rushes up a river, developing a steep forward slope due to resistance to the tide’s advance by the river, which is flowing in the opposite direction. Thus we have the phenomenon of the river changing its flow before your very eyes, flowing in overtop the outgoing river water. The height of the tidal bore increases with the range of the tide and may very in height from just a ripple to several feet.Bores occur in relatively few locations worldwide, usually in areas with a large tidal range (typically more than 20 feet between high and low water), and where incoming tides are funneled into a shallow, narrowing river via a broad bay. The funnel-like shape not only increases the height of the tide, but it can also decrease the duration of the flood tide down to a point where the flood appears as a sudden increase in the water level.

There are approximately two high tides and two low tides within a 24-hour period in the Bay of Fundy. The time between a low tide and a high tide is about 6 hours and 13 minutes. Therefore visitors to the Fundy coast can realistically expect to see at least one high and one low tide during daylight hours.

Tide times move ahead approximately one hour each day, and tide times vary for different locations around the Bay. One of the best ways to experience the full impression of the Bay of Fundy’s tides is to visit the same coastal location at high tide, then return about six hours later at low tide (or vice versa).

The Bay of Fundy tidal bore is a three hour drive from White Point Manor and White Point Beach Resort.

“The Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo is one of the world’s premiere cultural and entertainment spectaculars with over 2000 first-class Canadian and international, military and civilian performers. Featuring pipes and drums, massed bands, historic re-enactments, dancers, acrobats, comedians, choirs, military displays and competitions, plus a host of innovative
in a fast-paced 2 1/2 hour family show. “

That it is! The tattoo is now as common a yearly occurrence as the old time circuses who once came by train and set up the Big Top and tents. Gone are the elephants but you will a host of acrobats, comdians and countless hundreds of performers.

A friend of mine was remarked, “Nah, I’m not going. Yah heard one pipe band, yah heard ‘em all.” Au contraire ! This is a great show and, although I really like pipe bands, there is so much more to enjoy.

As well, it is a great venue to appreciate our Armed Forces. The Canadian Forces have been a centrepiece for this show since its inception and continue to support the 2007 Tattoo in order to promote their history and esprit de corps.

So next year, take it in!

In the early ’90′s Art Doty came up to Nova Scotia in his brand new RV to search for his roots. His mother emigrated from Port Mouton to Massachusetts at a young age and Doty grew up not knowing his Canadian family.Every year Art and his wife , Donna, would travel up to their 2 acre lot on the Lighthouse Route, just past White Point Beach Resort , and weigh anchor – literally. He has antique anchor by his driveway surrounded by score of loster pots. But the big attraction is his baby barn. It is a typical red miniature barn, however, on it’s sides hang a kaleidescope of color from his hand-painted buoys.

The buoys are cut from 4″ x 4″ road sign posts which were donated by the highjway crews when they put up new ones. Art brags that he, himself, cut them off at night without the government knowing about it and that’s why the signs in his area are only a foot off the ground.

Art sells them and the miniature key-chain variety but he never counts his money. He likes the color of his barn.

See you next year, Art and Donna!

Named for the rough-weather hats popularized by the Gorton’s fisherman and in Van Gogh’s paintings the Nova Scotia version of the sou’wester is as Nova Scotian as the tartan.Case in point: At a convention in Iceland in 1998 called The Icelandair Mid-Atlantic Conference there were delegations from 15 European countries, 3 from the United States and . . . Nova Scotia. As Ron Comeau, our fearless leader and Nova Scotia Tourism Marketing representative remarked, “We are going to own this place.”

His plan was simple:

1) We throw the party at the largest hot springs in the world: Blue Lagoon at Keflavik near the airport.

2) The Band, McGinty ( a Nova Scotia favorite) will perform in a large tent, playing Seafaring tunes and popular sing-a-longs.

3) Lobster sandwiches will be served

4) Keith’s beer will be served

5) Sou’westers will be given out.

As the untold hundreds disembarked from their respective coaches an into the frigid February cold each was given a yellow sou’wester. Into the dressing rooms they went and came out into the mist of the lagoon. All you could see in the mist were the yellow sou’westers.

That’s how we knew where to throw the cans of Keith’s to our thirsty guests.
