Paddling Thursday, October 7, 2004, Bogue Sound
Paddling Thursday, Octobr 7, 2004, Bogue Sound
Robert Leclair, one of our Stewards, reports a very successsful clean up in Kinston along the banks of the Neuse River. This was all by land. We need to plan a boat trip here for the river, Bob and Joanne.
Mary Stotesbury, Administrator, Keep Onslow Beautiful and Cordinator for Big Sweep in Onslow County reports a very successful clean up with 297 participating. Many of our Stewards and members of The New River Foundation participated there.
Now it is Carteret County time for Big Sweep. We will kick it off with a paddle this Thursday, the 7th. Jimmie of Island Harbor Marina has given us permission to use his facilities to launch our boats. We will meet there at 9:00 and leave our shuttle vehicles there. To get there from the Emerald Isle Bridge go to third stop light at CVS Pharmacy and turn left. Past car wash on right bear left on Old Ferry Road to the marina. We will meet there at 9:00 and leave shuttle vehicles and drive to Island Riggs.
Ray, of Island Riggs, has given us his permission to use his facilities. Both these locations are shown on Crystal Coast Canoe & Kayak Club map of Bogue Sound. Island Riggs is at the border line of Indian Beach on 24.
We will hug the shore line all the way. The trash is along the high tide line This will be the very first time we have done the south shore of Bogue Sound. We will report results of our pick up to Big Sweep Coordinator of Carteret County,Sonya Rogers.
On future trips we will continue on until we have paddled every foot of every shore line in The White Oak River Basin. It is one of our States' smallest basins. When it is done by kayaks and canoes it is huge and extends from Pender County to Pamlico Sound. What adventures we will have!
We urge all others to organize clean up trips all over Carteret for Big Sweep day Saturday the 9th and report to Sonya. Phone, 252-222-6359, e-mail: sonya_rogers@ncsu.edu
Saturday, the 9th, is also The Mullett Festival in Swansboro, in Onslow County. Last year Stewards entered Big Red in the Parade with canoes on top and Izaak Walton League "Don't Litter" signs all over the truck and the canoes. This year's entry is shown in the picture with Snow White replacing Big Red.
Do what you can for Big Sweep. Pick up litter where ever you are. Keep America Beautiful.
