Yesterday was spent largely in the little boat. I was underway at about 0730, two hours after the bore arrival, to try to get up the river to the town of Shubenacadie.
I didn’t make it. Ran out of water here at about 11:00. It’s a good thing I was tracking my path up. By the time I turned around I was in a following current, and it’s all drying flats.
As low tide approached I tried going down the river, but got stuck on the flats a couple of times and gave up.
When the rafters arrived I followed them out to the flats. That was neat and informative. I saw the (small) bore arrive, played in the waves a bit with the rafters, and then zipped back up the river to arrive at the big boat for its arrival there. I’ve chatted with lots of the guides. My presence there was definitely a novelty.
With calm clear weather I left on the tide around 8:30 and arrived in Parrsboro around 0300, anchored in front of the Ottawa House, and had a good sleep.
