Okay, this is how it's supposed to go........
Hah! Even though this time, we timed the tides right (not easy, on the extreme Bay of Fundy), drove two hours from our campsite, checked the weather for storms in the area, the wind came up and as soon as we put our kayaks on the water, dumped about 9 gallons inside the cockpits before we could even raise a paddle. Sigh.....maybe next year....
But we did meet a nice couple; she is from Costa Rica and he's from Nova Scotia. They were in Monckton for 6 weeks for her cancer treatment, so of course, we bonded instantly. The common language for the 3 of us was French! No, they sure weren't kayaking, just visiting the park and taking a day off of treatment. Please keep Flore in your prayers.
Wringing out my frustrations along with our soaked clothing after our useless attempts to kayak here. The two-men sea kayaks got out ok, but we had to sign waivers in which we even had to describe what we were wearing, so help them identify, well, you get the picture.... Wisely, we gave up early on so they wouldn't need those waivers. We're not stupid - Fundy is a challenge on a calm day!
