Behind the Name...

​The Bay of Fundy in Canada’s maritime is home to the highest tide fluctuations in
the world.  Over the course of a day, the tides rise and fall about the height of a
four or five story building in just over 6 hours.  It is an amazing experience to walk
on the floor of the ocean and look up at the towering pillars of rock that the tides
have (and still are) eroding into unique “flowerpot” shapes.
