    Cheers from Germany, had to see this video. We've been four times to Nova Scotia and absolutely fell in love with the landscape, the people and the way of living. Miss my cup of Timmy's.☕ We hope to come back some day soon. I recognized some places. As soon as I saw the name of the river I had to see it. Three years ago we went on a tidal bore rafting trip there. It was absolutely amazing and a true adventure for someone like me. The guide told us it would be totally easy and it had been a long time since the last one fell out of the boat with all the 2+ meter waves. And now guess who was under the boat in the river only two minutes later?🤣 Great fun. I really miss Nova Scotia, can't wait to come back.

    Coincidentally, I rode the tidal bore yesterday. Near the mouth of the river, the front wave is almost 2 feet tall, and the waves that follow can be as high as 6 feet this time of year. Sitting in the front of the boat, waves washed over my head. It gets fairly turbulent. If you don't hold on with all your might, you'll get swept out of the boat. Several people were washed from the boat, but the drivers are extremely experienced. No one was hurt or in the water long. It was certainly an adventure of a life time. The current you paddled through was nothing compared to it. If you get a chance to go, go. You'll know what those fishermen on the shore meant.
    I always wondered what the entire river system would be like to paddle. Thanks for sharing your journey.

    Excellent trip Noah! So unique in so many ways...urban, historical, beer portage, canoe shop and presentation, low water, tides. Grew up on the Left Coast but never dreamed of canoeing around salt water. Now living on the edge of the Northern Boreal and loving the wild spaces and places. 8 years ago strapping son and I were able to sustain 9.3 kms per hour across Tulabi Lake for about 10 minutes with a brisk Canadian Stroke fully loaded and tracked by GPS. Always better time at the end of the rtrip lol. Could imagine 10 km/h sustained, what a ride.

  • @senditwithsquatch6777
    @senditwithsquatch6777 3 роки тому +2

    This was great! As a bass researcher who rides the tides on this river often, I will say you guys had a good river experience, lower tides, low wind! 28 footers and wind make the area from Caddels Rapids to Black Rock treacherous.
    Tide times and sizes are best correlated with Saint John NB heigh tide times. At 25.5 kilometres from the mouth the tide is 1 hour 45 minutes after, always and consistently.

    We did the same trip about 4 years ago. great video brings back good memories.
    A couple of interesting things we came across:
    We got stuck in quicksand just after the 102 crossing. we were walking in about 1 foot of water and the tide was coming in . I sank up to my hips in mud and was stuck. pretty sure i would have sank a lot deeper but i hung onto my kayak to stop my sinking. it took about 15minutes to get out. My feet never touched anything solid.
    We discussed the tides the whole way down the river. One thing we discovered is the currents are not at 6 hour in and 6 hours out on a tidal river . The further up the river , the more time the current is going out. . At Maitland the current is going out for 9 hours and in for only 3 hours (times are not exact)
    At the location on the river where we hit the tidal boar, the current came in for about 90 minutes and then out for the rest of the time.
    We did way better time then expected because of this .
    Thanks for the video. Well done.

      The way to make orange cake is...... You take an orange cut off to make a lid of one end of your orange take a spoon and take out the orange be careful at the bottom that you don't make a hole through the orange when you're taking it out make your chocolate cake and pour it into the oranges 3/4 not up to the top put your lid on wrap it with tin foil and throw it in the fire and enjoy the aroma like OMG it will make you hungry smelling it as it's cooking have fun .

    Cheers from BC Canada I'm really very pleased with how clear and clean our water systems are, one day I hope you can do right from the Bay of Fundy to the BC Coastal ocean line. Enjoy!

    This is a bucket list adventure I'd love to do. Thought about it for years now.
