Tidal Bore Rafting

We're on the ship taking us from from N.S. to New Brunswick.
We got up at 6:30 (8 degrees C outside)went across the street to the restaurant for our included breakfast. We left at 8:30 so we'd be early for our trip. Well--we took a "detour" (that's our word for being lost) but still got there on time. We put on our "old" clothes and then tennis shoes of theirs. Then we put on wader jumpsuits and a thermal jackets. 14 of us walked down stairs and slushed to the 2 zodiaks. When the tide is low most of the water is out and leaves mushy clay. To describe this: take clay and mix water with it. With 7 of us in each boat plus our guides we went slowly upstream between 2 high walls of different colored rocks(saw 3 bald eagles soaring over up) We were waiting for the Tidal Boarto come in (the crashing of the fresh water stream going upstream and the saltwater of bay of funday water coming downstream)As the water rose over the sandbars waves were created. We held on, lended in and road the waves. Most of the time our zodiak was under water with us in it. The waves were only 8 feet this time but have been up to 24 feet depending on the tide. We went back and forth again and again yelling and laughing like kids. In between the waves Joel would "gun" the boat bringing the 8' wave over us. All of us loved it. It was high tide now. We got back to the shore and had to hold hands to get up the first stairs because they were slushy. It was hard to get back up the rest of the stairs because we were full of this muddy water, there wasn't a part of us that wasn't soaksd. All of our clothes, face, etc were orange colored. We took showers/washed our hair and had hot chocolate and were then on our way. Everything was going good until we hit roadwork again. We would sit in line from 5-10 mins. We drove along the Cobequid Bay and the Minas Basin. It was 4:30 when we got to Windsor so we decided to stay there, another Super 8 on a hill overlooking the village. We went down the hill after taking our things upstairs/putting our soiled clothes in a washer to a grocery store. We bought chicken, salad and had our supper in the room.
