It was August, allegedly the hottest time of the year there. We were there for three weeks and I promised the kids we'd go whale watching in the Bay of Fundy. My sister (who lives near there) set it up and we made a day of it. More than a day, actually. Drove up the day before, stayed in an inn and left first thing in the morning.<br /><br />The temperature on shore was mid-20's. The temperature in the Bay was at least 10 degrees colder. And there as a heavy, damp fog. And wind. Oh my God, the wind.<br /><br />The whales were taking the piss out of us, too. They'd breach 1000 m east of us, we'd head over there, then they'd breach were we just were. The damned things did that all day.<br /><br />Aside from the combined experience that we all will bitch about at the drop of a hat, with glee, the best part of the experience was the seafood chowder the boat had. We devoured it.<br /><br />Will NEVER go on a whale watching trip again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3842979221455852858.post-90889839140362908442009-10-26T10:32:42.304+10:002009-10-26T10:32:42.304+10:00When you come with me...hehehe ;)When you come with me...hehehe ;)Thea https://www.blogger.com/profile/11598198538476571667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3842979221455852858.post-75856724339913902552009-10-26T09:02:03.444+10:002009-10-26T09:02:03.444+10:00That ocean looks calm to me??? when are you going ...That ocean looks calm to me??? when are you going again? xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
