You mean the Barnhill ramp?
That is what everybody calls it.
It will be diffrent this year in Chatham b/c the Southway. The tides are kinda changing. The tides are not as big b/c the water isn't moving the same way as it has in years past. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but I just think it will be diffrent.

I think it could be a good thing for the end of south monomoy. The tides may be smaller at stage harbor but out at the tip their will be much more water flowing around to fill the sound. I bet it will change and move some of the rips. I'm always excited for spring in chatham to see what winter delt us. Last year their were major changes, I took a plane up so I could check it out. I might do that this spring as well. You really get a good feel for where the rips are and especially the rivers on the west side.

Ryder's might be a little hard to get out of this year. 3 Reasons 1. I think that I heard a boat trying to get out of ryder's/bassing harbor to go clamming 2 days ago, and all I could hear was the engine wine like it was beached as soon as it was trying to get over to the channel. I didn't take a look, but I knew that is what happened. It was a clammer too, so you can't say that is was just some yahoo stuck in the middle of the summer. 2. the south end of nauset is closing in toward the light house. There is a big bar that has developed to make the channel pretty tight, right at the end of Holway st. where the rocks are. 3. The outer bar some days I believe is giving trouble to the commercail boats and the CG, at low tide. When it is calm it dosen't look so bad, but when it blows out, it looks nasty at the light house lately.
