Fall Canadian Cruise - Day 6
Saint John, Bay of Fundy
Saint John is the port city of the Bay of Fundy in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The port is Canada's third largest port with a population of around 70,000.
Saint John was established by refugees of the American Revolution who wanted to remain living under Great Britain and were forced to leave their U.S. homes during the war.
In Saint John the height difference from low to high tide is approximately 28 feet due to the funneling effect of the Bay of Fundy as it narrows. At every high tide, ocean water is pushed through a narrow gorge in the middle of the city and forces the Saint John River to reverse its flow for several hours.
Day 6 - Saint John, Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick
For long stays, most hotel rooms don't have enough drawers or closet space.
Do not unpack all your garments out of your luggage.
I usually leave my largest and smallest garments in my bag. Those are my trousers and socks.
Most hotel rooms have enough space to slide your bag under you bed. Now you have another drawer.
Wendy has her luggage drawer on her side of the bed. More room for more stuff!
Don't Unpack
Finally...Seafood clam chowder. It was delicious.
Day 7 - Portland, Maine...
Next to the pier at Saint John's on a cold day. Really need some clam chowder.
This is a popular place for ships...or is it boats? I have been told the way to tell the difference is you can put a boat on a ship but not a ship on a boat.
But if an aircraft carrier was here they could put our ship on it? That would make it boat?
Looking through the sea of umbrellas...two words catches your attention: Ale House.
I'm smitten.
This is a monstrous city market. Fruits and vegetables and nuts and everything,
One could get lost in here for days.
A couple of guys taking a long rest.
They must be very tired. They haven't moved in a long time.
Good idea...a nap sounds interesting.
And a lobster roll. This was delicious too.
Autumn is arriving and on the mainland that means the leaves are starting to change color.
What better time for a cruise to check it out.
RHS'69 Reunion chair Vincent Yim and his wife Wendy are off cruising eastern Canada and U.S. to watch the leaves turn for Autumn.
