In the poem 'le Serpent Rouge' supposedly containing clues to the location of the Holy Grail and written by Jean Cocteau (signed by him) St Vincent is mentioned. A very young Vincent de Paul was allegedly kidnapped by pirates and held for two years during the same time period as Samuel Champlain's exploration of the Coast of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Very few accept the story of the priests kidnapping but it is known that upon resurfacing his first audience was not with his family but with the Pope.
It is a known that Champlain carried aboard two priests, a Catholic and a Protestant. Off the Coast of the peninsula separating St. Mary's Bay from the Bay of Fundy, the Catholic Priest had gone ashore and when returning to the ship had forgotten his sword. When he went back to retrieve it he became lost and was missing for over two weeks when by chance Champlain, sailing by, saw him on the shore stopped and picked him up.
He was on the very narrow one to two miles wide strip of land separating St. Mary's Bay from the Bay of Fundy, a place I have ventured down from Digby to the very end. I find it difficult to believe that anybody could get seriously lost here. And if he was why would his shipmates give up on him seemingly sailing by accidentally some two weeks later.
On this same voyage Samuel Champlain kept complete logs detailing the location of every bay, island, large rock, and animals he sailed by, but made no mention of Mahone Bay, completely ignoring it while naming the Bay just to the North after his Mother.
