Overnight on Mysterious Island in the Middle of Bay of Fundy

[@LauraLockhart-s6k]

My grandparents, Donald and Viola Morris, and great grandfather, Percy Morris, were lighthouse keepers on Isle Haute. My dad, Sheldon Morris, lived on the island as a small boy. He said he and his brother would sit on the cliff edge and throw rocks.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

There's info about your family of lighthouse keepers just a google away. I liked this little story: "Lighthousekeeper Percy Morris’ daughter, Ella, recorded in her diary that her father saw some treasure hunters marking an X on the island. In the night he sneakily buried a kettle under the X. The next day the Morris family secretly watched from afar as the treasure hunters dug up their kettle, laughing at their excitement".

[@emilypenny1685]

Mine was also the keeper:) such a cool history

[@rossmacintosh5652]

@@emilypenny1685 That's cool Emily! My wife's family were lighthouse keepers in Peggy's Cove. Must have been an interesting & unique life for those families that lived on otherwise uninhabited islands like Isle Haute.

Nova Scotian here....I've never looked at the Bay of Fundy from this perspective before! Now I have to take a drive down and check out this Island...safely from the mainland, that is! lol...awesome video and skill!!! Thank you!

[@58frascatti]

Amazing! The Bay of Fundy is unique and it’s rare to see great pieces like this. Thank you so much🇨🇦❤️

[@RedPillJonny]

Cool! I live 10 minutes from Harbourville. We saw a 14-15 foot great white between there and Isle Haute a couple years back.

[@adammackenzie]

15 feet , yikes. Um nope

[@SWATT101]

Hmmm.... paddled to the island eh? What time of year was that? They are creatures of habit lol

[@RedPillJonny]

@@adammackenzie It ate a dogfish on our handline and got hooked. The captain said tie off the 300 lb line and when the shark swam off that line snapped like thread. lol

[@emilypenny1685]

I have a huge family history there! Would love to go! My great great grandfather was the light house keeper for 11 years. His daughter was married on the Island Capt Nelson Card

[@BeeHash]

Very cool

[@happysailingtv1991]

As a kid I lived in Morden and could see Isla Haute from the window. I have always wanted to go there and have imagined what it would be like. I'm 40 now living in Ontario and wonder if I will ever do it in person. Now I feel like I've been! This is awesome!

[@idellbrown1825]

I'm bummed y'all didn't show us more island. Any birds, animals on the island at all? Plants etc?. Hopefully when you guys go anymore places you'll show us more of the surroundings please.❤

[@milutii]

@@idellbrown1825 I spent a weekend there when I was a teen (2002-2003ish I'd guess?) and we found the old lighthouse keeper's foundation and old metal bed frames. That was neat. No animals on the island but you'd see bones every so often (washed up from elsewhere). Lots of seals - curious buggers. 😉 Big pits from people looking for treasure. There was a geocache there, too! Hopefully it's still there and they found it to sign in. I grew up and still live in the province. It's a beautiful place to visit if you ever have the chance. 😊

[@Trigger200284]

Wouldn’t have much more than birds there man, that island has been isolated from the mainland for close to 200 million years, the winters there would of been absolutely brutal and the last ice age would of killed any mammals that managed to survive there. There might be rats and mice from people living there, they would have come on the supply boats.

[@tiggert4716]

I 100% agree with yourself on this.👌👍

[@NorthernScavenger]

Noted for next time

[@nickdeagle3271]

Guess the seal, moss, seaweed, forest don’t count. 😊

[@livelife4471]

That's an excellent overnighter. Nice to travel with experience kayakers because those are dangerous waters to navigate. The Bay of Fundy is on the fall bird migration route. Champlain camped one winter on an island out from St. Andrews in 1604 or there abouts. They had a tough winter. The area is full of early North American history. Thanks for explaining what happened geologically to create the Bay of Fundy way back when.

[@bgd73]

educational video. I am over in maine, part mik mak. I have no history oral or written. small family tree and DNA gathered us one person at a time. Your channel is satisfying, seeing the whole region. I was with my uncle, he bought a lobster boat out of bay of fundy. I had no clue I may have been looking into eyes of relatives...1980s.

[@julane50]

A brave venture guys! The isle is clearly visible from uncle's cottage .. had no idea about the difficulty of crossing the tides. The history is fascinating!

[@daver7465]

That's so great, I've looked over the Bay of Fundy at that island many times, so cool to see it close up.

[@StonyRC]

Guys, that was an EPIC item of content - I subscibed right away!. I just returned home to the UK from Nova Scotia 2 weeks ago. What a wonderful place, filled with friendly people. Many Thanks from the UK.

[@NorthernScavenger]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@markboutilier9949]

I was lucky enough to stay a weekend on the island about 25 years ago.We charted a fishing boat out of Halls Harbour . Going out Friday was perfect. Sunday was a different story.Had about 25 in the group and had to row out to the boat picking us up. I bailed water steady out of the rowboat as the waves were going over the sides. A big relief getting back to shore.

[@updownstate]

Beautiful in every way. This is the sharpest clearest video I've ever seen. Coming from a person with bad vision I hope you will receive this compliment. And the audio is perfect. A pleasure to watch. And to read viewer comments makes it that much better. Subscribed.

Visited this island many years ago, travelling there by fishing boat from Harbourville. What a great experience. Now a National Protected area and authorization must be obtained prior to visit.

[@justingillis9254]

Criminally underrated channel. I've learned more about NS history from this channel than I did in school. LOL Old Creel guy used to live on my street, probably 20 years ago. Pretty sure he was running his business out of his driveway at that point?

[@NorthernScavenger]

🙏🙏🙏

[@cstephen98]

We'd get our lobsters from the Harbourville Pound. The bridge got washed out a few months back. Curious to see what you found. My understanding was that it was basically an exposed rock, ringed by cliffs and a bit of scrub on top. Not a good place to tent. Normally you pay a fisherman to take you there. First time seeing someone trying to paddle to it in those currents :)

[@myopinion4920]

Spent a day there with family many years ago ,came in from Advocate on a fishing boat ,it was a adventure, I will never forget. One of Gods blessing. Thank you for the memory.

Thanks for the tour! I’ve been visiting this area for almost 40 years-married a Nova Scotian girl-and I know the view of Isle Haute from Margaretsville (or Margaretville depending on which road you take) quite well. Looks like a lot more trouble getting there than I realized.

[@trishwilliams3153]

Glad you all made it alive

[@annegillies1056]

Wow nice video. I just came across this. I grew up in Margaretville on the Bay of Fundy and Isle Haute was an important part of my seascape. So great to see you paddle out there and back. It would be great if you could go again and explore the island more. But tides and weather are tricky there. Glad you had a group of experienced kayakers. Would LOVE to see more Bay of Fundy videos in future.

[@jenibylsma9845]

Found this channel by accident. Was super excited to see you guys combining 2 of my loves - kayaking and history. I spent many hours exploring rivers and bays around the Southwest of Western Australia, but now live in the Northern Territory (tropics) and sadly, kayaking is restricted due to the prevalence of saltwater crocodiles, some of which can reach several meters in length and take you with one bite. Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed watching your video and being taken along for the ride. Know nothing about where you guys are from, but I’m looking forward to learning more.

What a great adventure. Thank-you for taking us along and for all of the amazing shots and history. Very cool.

[@charlesmelanson1607]

The only sad part is to work so hard to get there only to have to leave so soon the next morning. All respect for your considerations of weather in Fundy bay. Me and some of my family spent ALL day on a yacht off Grand Manan on a whale watching tour, only to hear multiple whales blowing only meters away and never seeing them because of the fog, and meanwhile, my father who wasn’t feeling well and so stayed back on the Island saw three whales from the cliff’s edge by the lighthouse. What are you gonna do? We did see an eagle , eider ducks and other seabirds, so never a total loss.

[@Tinkering902]

That's cool, I look at that island all the time and wonder about it, thanks for the great video!

as a recreational kayaker I can't even imagine being able to do that. Thanks for letting me tag along by watching from my comfy chair. I've been to and camped on the island but that was over 40 years ago for a graduation trip but we went by fishing boat.

I had to fast forward the video cause the hours in the kayak was making my butt hurt.

When I was 11, my family went on a trip to Nova Scotia. The high point for me was going on a trail ride along the coast. The low part was the trip across the Bay of Fundy on a ferry. I spent the entire time below deck in our car throwing up! I had never been sea sick in my life before or after, but the Bay was another beast!

I spent some time at Scots Bay and was fascinated by the appearance of Ile Haute, as it seems to change shape from one time of day to another. Sometimes it even seems to hover over the water--an optical illusion. It looks rounded, then it looks rectilinear, sometimes shorter or taller. It's nice to see it up close on a clear day!
