A Swan 47 S&S sails the Bay of Fundy leg from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, to Eastport, Maine — the easternmost port in the United States — marking the crew's entry into U.S. waters after two months in Canada.▶ 5:24 The passage threads Scuna Passage under strong tidal current, where the boat tracks sideways relative to its heading.▶ 0:03 At a dock stop, the crew monitors a tight clearance problem: 3.1 metres under the keel at the berth but only 2.8 metres at a neighboring vessel the Swan 47 must swing around, with a draft of 2.4 metres leaving little margin.▶ 1:38 Petit Passage, at the western tip of Nova Scotia, is transited at 07:10 with the moon still up, followed by a Traffic Separation Scheme crossing.▶ 2:57 The route passes Grand Manan Island's North Head, where salmon farms are noted as a major local industry.▶ 4:44 Whales appear around a headland, with a crew member stationed on the bow as spotter calling tails and spouts.▶ 5:10 A near-miss with rocks in Scuna Passage — caught by the skipper before the first mate steered into them — underscores the hazard of strong tidal set in confined passages.▶ 0:35
