The next morning we were lucky enough to catch low tide and go over to the Lighthouse.

The first picture is just as the gravel bar that we needed to walk over on began to show up. YOu can just begin to see it in the center of the picture. There are steps and ladders leading down and up on both ends of the gravel bar.



This next picture shows the gravel bar as it looked after we got back from the lighthouse. When we went over it was about 6 feet wide. There is a three hour window to visit the light. If your late you have an eight hour wait for the next low tide.



After walking over the gravel bar to the first island there is a bridge that takes you over to the second island. That's Sharon on the bridge.



The next picture shows the top of the ladder that takes you down to the final crossing to the lighthouse. You pick your way through the seaweed very carefully!



We finally made it to the third island and the lighthouse.



That's Sharon on the first ladder for the middle island. Notice a rung missing near the bottom of the ladder.



Sharon again getting ready to go down the ladder from the first island back to the mainland. Quite an interesting adventure to say the least. I'm told that the tides in the area are in the vicinity of 22 feet.



All and all it was an exciting crossing to East Quoddy. I recommend it to all the adventuresome in our group.
