nancysan Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Per Spider's earlier post, Pavilion Beach is closed and clased to parking too. I heard they just opened some clam beds this week, but as of last night beach still had bright orange signs by order of Ipswich Health Department.I was hoping to go out for a couple hours this week during warm weather if it isn't windy. Does anybody have updated info on the status of NH and MA beaches? And what's Lane's Cove like these days after the damage, etc.?Thanks,Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcohen Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I and two other intrepid travelers used Lanes cove as a resting point during a Camp Ann circumnavigation yesterday. The walls have some damage, it is serious, but not as extensive as it could be. However,the cove is as navigable as it was before the big storm.Sid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks for posting about the closures, I was wondering if they were open yet. I wanted to paddle out of Pavilion (Ipswich) Thursday but we are planning to paddle Great Bay NH instead.I am told that the filters are about the size of a half dollar. Aside from the big ewwww/eck factor of them, I wonder how many of them are going to wind up "in the food chain" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
