David M Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Sunday looks to be a great day, albeit chilly, to grab an end of year paddle. Looking for some company to paddle from Ordione to Rye Harbor and return. ~10nm. Will hug the shore for some shelter from the forecasted west winds.Launch at 10:00 am. Forecast is for sunny skies with temperature in the low-40's. In-shore sea state forecast is fairly benign. Winds 13-18 mph (wnw-w). Water temp 49. High tide: 6:11 am.This is a Level Three paddle (http://www.nspn.org/trip-levels/). Drysuits are a must.Please post interest here and pm float plan info to me including name, cell number, boat make, model, and color, emergency contact name and phone number, vehicle make, model and plate number.

prudenceb Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 BTW, do we know if the Odiorne lot is still open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Good question. I don't. I'll chase it down and post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Just called the State Park. They report it is open. In the event it happens to close before now and then we can park on the other side of the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Anderson Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Sounds like a nice trip, haven't gotten out lately. Count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcosloy Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm tentative. Will watch the forecast in the hopes it improves the next couple of days and decide. The coast of Rye has too many rollers and breakers to safely do much hugging sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethS Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I'm interested, I'll give a definite in a day. I assume we would be leaving from Ordione Pt state park? I actually have never been there, any specifics I should know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Beth, Yes, the launch is within the boundaries of the State Park. These are the coordinates off the NSPN site. Launch Site: Odiorne PointLongitude: -70.727565Latitude:43.048449 There is a small bridge on 1A/Pioneer Road adjacent to the launch. I grabbed this addresss from Mapquest which gets you very close: 327 - 331 Pioneer Rd Rye, NH 03870 There is plenty of parking and a ramp. Our launch and pullout times should miss the mud. We'll lunch in Rye Harbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prudenceb Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I'm not thrilled at forecast. Winds W 15-20 gusts to 25. I don't think there's much protection along the way. This plus the cold...plus the fact that between now and Xmas I have to drive to RI to Carl Ladd's house to pick up his donation to the party raffle has me thinking...no.Others, thoughts? (I know, I'm a weenie)pru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 In-shore winds are a bit scaled back at 10-15 knots with gusts to 20. They also diminish some into the paddle. That said, no question it will be chilly (max 35). We will still have at least 5 hearty souls so its a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcosloy Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Sorry to miss the excellent company Dave but I'm not a happy paddler with strong wind. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
