Hammocks Beach to Swansboro, June 23, 2004
We dropped Marie's car off at Swansboro Bicentennial Park and put our boats in the water at Hammaocks Beach State Park at 9:00.
There was a very strong soutwest wind blowing and this was at our backs all the way to Swansboro. Exception, as we paddled close to shore all the way we turned into three bays and Foster Creek. We had this wind in our face for short periods of time coming out of these bays.
We call this trip The large, beautiful, water front homes trip. Because of these homes along the way there was very little trash. We picked up one bag full on the whole trip. Lisa: Please mark off this shore line for Big Sweep. It does not need to be visited.
The participants were Marie Justen from Spooners Creek, Joanne Somerday from Kinston, Jim Stevens from New Bern and Elmer Eddy from Swansboro.
That is Marie on the left and Joanne on the right. Joanne's T shirt says "Elmer's Trashy Girls". See below for the back.
The chair I am sitting on Came out of Northeast Creek in Jacksonville. So did the two balls I am holding. So did the TV I am watching.
People, please! Do not discard your unwanted items in our rivers. These rivers are our playgrounds. Would you like this trash on your baseball fields your soccer fields, your tennis courts?
Elmer's Trashy Girls entered a race at Neuse River Day in New Bern and sponsored me! They came in fourth.(I really think they won as they were the only girls in the race!). I am proud of you girls, and thank you, (Joanne Somerday was in Montreal), Carole MeCracken,Bambie Edwards and Missy Tenhet.
Morning Glorys lined the shores and the mimosa was almost to our Methodist Church on 24. It hit me in the face! I never knew how pretty and delicate they were close up like this.
We lunched at 12:30 in Bicentennial Park at a picnic table on the water front. Very nice facilities. Thank you Swansboro. We went home after lunch as the wind was not inviting. It was a very enjoyable trip. Elmer
