Last time we kayaked on the Saco after a big rain our son’s kayak got caught in a strainer for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would really need to dump at the head of the watershed to bring the levels up this time of year, I'm heading down the Songo river to Sebago on Saturday on a pontoon with a load of folks........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Euro wind threat is pretty much just the outer Cape and maybe EPO. 1-2" plus axes from Mitch-Gene and then GON-Ginxy-ORH with a Stein anti-band for Tippy to MHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoalaBeer Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Should be a fun little event on the NH seacoast. Not expecting much in the way of wind, but water is just about always the bigger problem for us anyways. I got a feeling this won’t be the only tropical mischief we have up this way this summer. Did anyone ever post the flash flooding/landslides from Japan this week? We are lucky to not really be vulnerable to these kind of natural disasters in our part of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard horror stories of people having to wait and drag kayaks and canoes through water that’s 2” deep… guessing this will help that Saco is a flashy river - quick up/quick down, like the St. John upriver from Allagash but on a smaller/quicker scale. Once the snowmelt ends there's little storage capacity and lots of grade until it crosses into Maine, and while it's then pretty flat the storage doesn't improve much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled release from Rip Dam and there's nothing on the Saco like the Cribworks. It's probably the only Maine rafting spot where the companies have rescue staff on the shoreline rocks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Ripogenus, Chesuncook and Caribou lake all feed into the dam, I use to fish Chesuncook and Ragged lake back in the 70's when the only access was thru logging or the golden Road.

Dense population crowded onto the relatively small amount of less sloping land in a country filled with mountains and subject to tropical and ET heavy rains. Edit: Japan is slightly smaller than CA but has more than 3 times the population and a considerably lesser proportion of non-mountainous terrain. It's pop density would rank 3rd compared to US states, a bit more than MA but well back of NJ and RI. Of course, those 3 states are parking-lot flat compared to Japan and get less precipitation. It's also on the Pacific rim of fire, with volcanos and especially earthquakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
