A tidal bore is a rare phenomenon that occurs when the incoming tide approaches so quickly that it creates a wave. One of the few places where they exist is in the Bay of Fundy on Canada's eastern seaboard, home of the largest tides on the planet! We've wanted to check it out for a long time, and decided to swing up from Vermont before making our way back to Miami. This morning was all about reconnaissance, but tomorrow we're going to try and surf it! With so few daylight hours this time of year
