发帖数: 3975 | 2 参加大海系列的条件:
1)会游点泳(但无须是高手)
2)必须参加或一次我们白水或静水训练
3)体力要过得去, 打球俩个钟头或跑步>45分钟没有问题就可以了.
器材基本用我们最通用的船, 如果自己没有船, 我们器材租用费一般是$15(包括
WETSUIT), 如果参加当年活动>5次(各种用船活动), 收费5次后($75)当年用船活动不再
收费, 第二年(如果第一年参加活动>=5次, 第二年最多收三次, <5次, 第二年最多收四
次).讲情意的朋友, 第三年基本不收了.
就是说第一年我们最多收$75, 这是个什么价呢? 是商业SEA KAYAKING商业的一天的租
船费(商业的SEA KAYAK的质量比较高, 而其他商业划船和我们就高不到哪去了), 还而跟
我们可以玩十几次包括漂流和静水(加上SEA就是20-30多天,去年是>40天), RIVER CAMPING, 我们去的地方, 连商业都无法运

别人的交的费中补贴给他们CARPOOL或其他开销.
我们活动靠的是中坚分子, 为了保证活动的高质量和安全, 我'不得不'各种途径'奖励
他们', 稳定他们, that's what make our group great.
大侠级别的我们更是让他们免费很多东西.
大侠比例没有超过1/3, 但他们代表了活动的档次和质量, 加上安全.
嘿嘿, 我跟全美各地的很多大侠关系都很好, 这是户外活动的生命线. | m****g

还有把刚采到的MUSSEL煮的吃, 太TMD的腐败了.
预告明年的SEA KAYAKING活动:
划着船去BOSTON HARBOR去CAMPING, 是非常独到的活动, 今年都排不过来了. | m****g
发帖数: 3975 | 13 还有报名我们大海系列(非具体活动)尽量在6/1日前.
今年我们缺人, 我们完全OPEN我们的大门, 欢迎新朋友, 来填补活动人数的空缺.
去年我们基本没有OPEN我们的活动, 因为人太多了, 一个CAPE COD活动(CAMPING+SEA
KAYAKING)达到 38人.
如果那一天我们觉得人数已无法handle,我们就关闭大海系列的门, 也许其他BP的门还
会敞开.
所以不要太晚联系我们. 5月份问题不大, 参加一次活动再决定更多也很正常....

已冲过24人, 24人组织划船的概念就是组织X3=72人的HIKING难度)
所以感兴趣的同学留个名或PM我, 我们把报名系列截止到第一次活动(也许下周末).
接受的另一条件是大概夏天参加我们活动>=4次, 包括其他各种活动都算数, 我们目前
实在没有时间照管一次性朋友, 每次新人第一次活动要耗掉我们EXTRA 2小时/人时间,

“quiet beaches and Seal tours are amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 12, 2010
When my wife and I first arrived on the Cape and made our way to the hotel(
we stayed in Dennisport) then checked out the beach outside our hotel. My
wife was saying how the Cape didn't look like she expected and that she was
kind of disappointed. The next morning I took her to Monomoy Refuge so that
we could walk around and then take a seal tour. This ended up being the
highlight of the trip for both of us, this waswhat my wife expected Cape Cod
to look like. There were birds and sealife instead crowds, the landscape
was wildlife reserve instead of motels and pavement. We also took the
Monomoy Ferry Seal tour which takes you down to the area of the refuge where
all the seals are just hanging out and gets you very close to them. The
tour was given by a very knowledgeable gentleman who presented a ton of Seal
information in a fun and engaging fashion. The tour may be a little long
for younger kids, but otherwise its fun and entertaining
“seal watching”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 26, 2007
This was one of the best things we did while on Cape Cod. It was just a
small group of people (maybe 15), in a boat that sits you right down in the
water. They take you out to where the seals are sitting on the sand bar,
just waiting for the tide to go out. It was incredible to be so close! I
loved not having to fight for a place at the rail to see - everyone had to
stay seated, and they circled around quite a bit so we all got plenty of
opportunity to view the seals. | m****g

Natural heritage
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Bay_%28New_Hampshire%29
The Great Bay Estuary, when counting the entire tidal system including the
Piscataqua River, meets the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Piscataqua,
between New Castle, New Hampshire and Kittery, Maine. Tides carry salt water
into the estuary twice daily from the Atlantic. Here it mingles with the
fresh water influence from the various rivers that empty into Great Bay. It
is one of the largest estuaries on the Atlantic Coast and at 10 miles (16 km
) inland is one of the most recessed.[1]
Approximately 14,000 years ago, following the melting of the glaciers, the
Great Bay estuary was formed. The glacial melt waters contributed to rising
ocean waters, which flooded the land and filled the river valleys that make
up Great Bay today.
There are five very different water-dominated habitats that make up the
Great Bay. In order of abundance they are: eelgrass meadows, mudflats, salt
marsh, channel bottom, and rocky intertidal. These habitats are home to 162
bird, fish and plant species (23 of which are threatened or endangered),
countless invertebrate species and even the occasional harbor seal.
Eelgrass is one of a very few underwater marine flowering plants. It has
many functions in the estuarine system. The eelgrass community provides
habitat for several organisms, especially the young of fish and
invertebrates. Eelgrass roots help stabilize the bottom sediments. Eelgrass
plants help maintain water quality and clarity by filtering the water
allowing sediments to settle and then using the excess nutrients for growth.
More than half of Great Bay is exposed as mudflats at low tide. Worms, soft-
shelled clams, mud snails, green crabs, wading birds, horseshoe crabs and
many other animals utilize the extensive mudflat habitat for feeding,
reproduction and protection from predators.
The channel bottom habitat provides a place for fish and invertebrates to
move to at low tide. It is also the preferred habitat for oysters, a highly
specialized animal that only live in estuaries.
Rocky intertidal habitat provides firm anchorage for seaweeds, barnacles,
and ribbed mussels. Each winter, much of the standing crop of seaweeds
becomes entrapped in ice. When the ice begins to break up in spring, the
seaweeds are torn from the rocks and enter into the detrital cycle. | m****g
发帖数: 3975 | 33 http://www.canoekayak.com/travel/eastern-us/greatbaynewhampshir
New Hampshire’s seacoast is only 18 miles long, the smallest in the nation.
However, Great Bay, the Granite State’s “inland sea,” is one of the
largest estuaries in New England. Fed by seven rivers and containing almost
5,000 surface acres of water, Great Bay is rich in wildlife, plant life, and
history.
On a warm and calm October Sunday, I set out with my two brothers, Doug and
Jeff, along with our guide, Lucy, for a paddle of Great Bay that would take
one full day but span 400 years of history. We launched at Chapman’s
Landing on the languid Squamscott River, and I soon began thinking about all
the vessels that once plied these waters. Just upriver is Exeter, one of
New Hampshire’s oldest settlements, and once a hotbed of revolutionary
fervor. The state of New Hampshire was born here.
Settled in the early 1600s by British colonists, Great Bay became one of the
first major commercial waterways in the American colonies. It has played a
pivotal role in the region’s development, but today, ironically, it’s one
of southern New Hampshire’s least-developed ecosystems. In 1989 it was
added to the National Estuarine Research Reserve system.
There are no tall ships here now, nor gundalows, the once-ubiquitous flat
sailing barges of the bay. Gundalows carrying bricks, wood, fish, and hay
were once as common on these waters as the geese, ducks, herons, and gulls
are today.
We continued downriver, past clumps of hardy spartina grasses that swayed
gently in the soft autumn breezes. As the bay opened, views of the
surrounding basin revealed very little in the form of man-made development.
Forest and field embraced the shoreline.
The river was lined with hickory and oak, and maple and birch adorned in
resplendent autumn colors, their crimson and golden canopies reflected in
the calm coves.
Lucy guided us up the Lamprey River, named for a settler, not the parasitic
fish. The river was lined with hickory and oak, and maple and birch adorned
in resplendent autumn colors, their crimson and golden canopies reflected in
the calm coves. A few large white pines interrupted the deciduous display.
These emerald giants brought gold to the early shipbuilders of the region;
their tall, slender trunks made the perfect mast.
But the region’s abundant waterpower brought even more wealth to Great Bay
entrepreneurs. By the early 1800s the area’s rivers were harnessed for
power, giving birth to scores of textile and lumber mills. We paddled
farther up the Lamprey to the town of Newmarket and found ourselves
surrounded by a fortress of 19th-century mills, five stories tall. The mood
was surrealistic. Upon contact with the morning sunlight, the granite walls
of one behemoth gave off a soft sheen. The mill dam’s tumbling waters broke
the yard’s silence. The looms stopped churning in the 1930s, and these
thick-walled landmarks have since been converted into condos and offices.
We took out at the town boat launch for an early lunch break. Across the
river, children played at the Heron Point Nature Sanctuary. One hundred
years earlier, those children would have been working in the mill buildings
that I’d admired.
Beyond Newmarket, the Lamprey, New Hampshire’s first National Wild and
Scenic River, makes for a good paddle, but we returned instead to the bay.
We rounded Moodys Point and glided past the gently rolling pastures
surrounding Lubberland Creek. The farms have been in use for more than three
centuries and, thanks to the Nature Conservancy, will continue to remain as
open space.
Our bearings were now on the peninsula known as Adams Point. The tide was
going out. Although it’s 10 miles from the Atlantic here, the tidal
difference can be eight feet. This leaves plenty of nutrients behind in the
salt marshes. The area deer and raccoons are well aware of the bounty. Lucy
surveyed the shoreline trees for eagles and ospreys. I scanned the waters
for harbor seals. Doug and Jeff looked for migrating loons, grebes, and
northern harriers.
Adams Point was the site of a resort in the early 20th-century. The retreat
is gone, replaced by the University of New Hampshire’s Jackson Estuary
Laboratory. The rest of the point is now part of the Estuarine Reserve.
During the 1970s energy crisis, the entire area almost succumbed to becoming
a massive oil refinery. The residents of Durham resoundingly rejected the
plan.
To paddle beyond Adams Point requires passing through Furber Strait, the
narrowest section of the bay. The currents can be rough. With a lowering sun
, we turned our kayaks back toward the Squamscott. As we paddled across the
unusually placid open waters of the bay, I gazed out at the eastern
shoreline. Until the 1980s most of that land was part of an Air Force base.
Now it’s a national wildlife refuge.
Like the entire Great Bay region, those lands have seen a lot of uses and
have a long history. But now in the 21st century, thanks to conservation and
preservation measures, the Great Bay is the healthiest it has been in 250
years. | m****g
发帖数: 3975 | 34 Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge
Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) was established in 1944 to provide
habitat for migratory birds. Sand stretches for eight miles off the elbow of
Cape Cod, forming the barrier islands of North and South Monomoy. In
addition to the two islands, a 40-acre unit on Morris Island is also part of
the refuge. This is where the headquarters and visitor center are located.
The total size of the refuge is 7,604 acres with varied habitats of oceans,
salt and freshwater marshes, dunes, and freshwater ponds. The refuge
provides important resting, nesting and feeding habitat for migratory birds,
including the Federally protected piping plover and roseate tern. More than
ten species of seabirds, shorebirds, and waterbirds nest on the islands.
The refuge also supports the second largest nesting colony of common terns
on the Atlantic seaboard with over 8,000 nesting pairs.
Wildlife and Habitat
Approximately ninety-four percent of the refuge is designated as a
Wilderness Area. The visitor to this wilderness refuge encounters a very
special place -- a sanctuary that supports an amazing diversity of wildlife
and plant species. Monomoy has been listed as a Western Hemisphere Shorebird
Reserve Network Regional site and an Important Bird Area due to its
importance to migratory shorebirds. Monomoy's beaches provide important
spawning habitat for horseshoe crabs. During the fall and winter, thousands
of seaducks congregate in offshore areas around the refuge. The refuge is
the largest haul-out site of gray seals on the Atlantic Seaboard with
approximately 5,000 seals. Largely protected from human intrusion, Monomoy
offers some of the most desirable habitat for seals in the region and harbor
and gray seals now thrive on Monomoy. A restored Coast Guard lighthouse is
located on South Monomoy and is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. | m****g

Aug- Oct
Isles of Shoals, N.H.
The crossing from the mainland can be rough, but on a good day, a gentle
rhythm keeps pace among the islands out at sea. ‘‘Jump to an island, and
stop. Jump to an island, and stop,’’ said Ken Taylor, of Plum Island Kayak
, which charters a yacht to carry customers and kayaks out to the islands
for a day. Conditions permitting, more adventurous paddlers can leave the
relative calm of Smuttynose and Appledore islands to join the seals near
Duck Island. ‘‘We paddle around and say, ‘Wow!’’’ Taylor said. | m****g
