Paddling Wednesday, October 13, 2004, Bogue Sound

Nobody showed up for this trip last week so I am rescheduling for this coming Wednesday. Please let me know you are coming so I dont go over there again for nothing.

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, sonya_rogers@ncsu.edu

All our paddles up to November 2 will count toward Big Sweep this year.

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!
