The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world. So when you look into the Minas Basin, essentially a bay fed by the Bay, the water is either in or out. The picture above shows a part of the basin - taken from Look Off - waiting for the water to come. And come it will, at an astounding rate of between six and eight feet per hour. It represents a billion tons of water moving into and out of the bay. How long does it take to fill your bathtub?
