I can't remember the name, but it is in the northeastern part of the U.S. I think???

:stareup:That's the one I was thinking of dawg!
and it is partially in the U.S. although the majority is in Canada
Also:
The Canadian Hydrographic Service finally declared it a statistical tie, with measurements of a 16.8 metre tidal range in Leaf Basin for Ungava Bay and 17 metres at Burntcoat Head for the Bay of Fundy.
So what are you trying to say Tazio? :p:
Two things dukie; 1) If it is Fundy than I was partially (sort of/ almost correct), B) there also seems to be some discrepancy, as to whether the other bay in Canada (Ungava) gets just as high Baggie!! ;)
Blondie. :p (anyone get it:erm: )
