I had a late start that day.  I was trying to figure out where to go.  I have been kayaking for over two years here and still so many places to try.  The decision was made to go to Seabrook at the end of Farm lane.  It was past high tide, but this has a fairly deep channel. When I got there it was beautiful.  I saw fields of marshland grass.  In the background was Hampton harbor with the Route 1A bridge.

I launched the boat.  Because the tide was going out, the current was dragging me to Hampton harbor.  I took a left instead to go up one of the channels.  There was a blue heron.   They are magnificent looking birds.    There on the left I saw a electric line pole.  An Eagle was on top of it.  I could not see what kind of eagle.   After going past the pole I continued up the channel for the longest time.  I took side channels to explore whenever possible.  There was a number of birds all around.  The birds includes other blue herons, sea ducks, terns, sparrows, seagulls, cormorants, etc…  I also saw a number of small fish in the water.    The channel in many places went as narrow as 10 feet wide.  I felt as if I was taking an African safari with the narrow  channel and the grass on both sides of me along with the birds.  Ungowa.     I came upon a bridge and easily went under it.  There on the left was the Seabrook elementary school.  The water channel continued on.    I reached another bridge when the water became too shallow to continue.  I turned around and headed back.  The tide that was fighting me is now helping me go back.  This allowed me to enjoy the scenery more, going fast enough only as needed to steer.  As I entered the more open water, I realized that I was lost.  The grass was tall enough to block my view.  I remember some of the landmarks U saw when I started and followed them back.  I finally came back to where I started.
