cathyfoley Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Weather permitting, I'm going to paddle in Great Bay tommorrow afternoon. Easy, slow pace, 6-9 miles or maybe just a lot of playing around. Launch from Chapman's Landing in Stratham at 1:00 p.m. and take advantage of outgoing tide for first half. Return trip will be against a mild tide as low tide is 17:04. Chapman's Landing is a state boat ramp located on Rte 108 in Stratham, NH. Plenty of free parking. Weather Stonington Me To Merrimack River Ma Out To 25 Nm- Mon SW winds 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 7 ft early subsiding to 2 to 4 ft in the afternoon. A chance of showers in the morning. Patchy fog in the morning. Mon Night W winds 10 to 15 kt...becoming NW 5 to 10 kt after midnight. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Piscataqua River, Squamscott River RR.

Joan_H Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hi Kathy: I'd like to join you. What are the directions to the put in. I do know how to get to Stratham but need directions to the landing. Thanks Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyfoley Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Joan: Coming from MA, take I-95 north to Exit 2 in NH (rte 101 exit) Take 101 West to Exit 11 (route 108)in Exeter/Stratham line. Take Route 108 North for about 4 miles and Chapman's Landing is on the right, just before the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spider Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I didn't see that you folk had gone out earlier in the day. By coincidence I went down about 7 pm till about 8:30pm...for a little sunset paddle/ nite paddling. As I was arriving at Chapmans a couple of people were just finishing loading up a pair of red kayaks ...perhaps they were with your group of people... spdr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyfoley Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 No that wasn't us...we came back around 5. The two red kayaks were launching as we left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
