Hall's Harbour

     We have been close to the Ocean for the past 3 years in eastern Canada and we have seen the tide go in and out many times. Going to Hall's Harbour, we experienced the most dramatic tide so far. The difference of the tide level is amazing. Hall's Harbour is a narrow harbour that is affected by the tide levels greatly. We took Toni and Paul with us to visit this tidal phenomenon.

This is a postcard of how it looks when the tide
is out and when the harbour is full.

Here is a aerial view of the small narrow harbour

Boats sitting on the harbour floor, or suspended by cables when the tide is out.

This pipe leads to a pond on the other side of road at the end of
the harbour therefore water is always flowing into the harbour.

More boats sitting on the bottom.

It is amazing how they stay upright. Of course they are tied
up tight to the wharf but they are sitting on their keels.
Several of the boats have reinforced keels for extra strength.

Appropriately named.

We were allowed to go down the launch ramp and stand on the
 bottom of the harbour. This photo was taken looking out toward
the ocean

This photo was taken looking at the end of the harbour.
A road is along the back.

Even the leisure boats have to wait until the tide comes back in.

The lonely motor boat

The marina has a restaurant and a few shops. Bev at the cook house.

We stayed for lunch. A lobster grilled cheese sandwich with salad.

You have to try the lobster chowder. Yum!

The tide is out. The small stream is coming from the harbour.

Someone made a sundial on the shoreline.

After lunch we explored the tidal flats

Toni and Paul, who we met when we lived down the road from them in P.E.I.
They live there in the summer and their permanent residence
is in Florida where we visited them in the winter of 2018.

The tide is coming in
