2006-02-15 Bogue Sound from Goose Creek to Broad Creek
Subject: 2006-15-06, Goose Creek to Broad Creek 002.jpg, 2006-15-06, Goose Creek to Broad Creek 003.jpg, 2006-15-06, Goose Creek to Broad Creek 004.jpg, 2006-15-06, Goose Creek to Broad Creek 005.jpg, 2006-15-06, Goose Creek to Broad Creek 006.jpg, 20
The pictures, 002 to 007, tell the story of a very enjoyable paddle on a lovely day in February. Many large groups of shore birds were seen along the way. The construction pictures are at Cannonsgate Marina, the new subdivision where our Governor has bought a lot. The old bridge comes from no-where and goes to no-where now. It is off Sanders Creek. The white cottage with the red barn faces you as you enter Sanders Creek. It is impressive!
We ate lunch on a sandy beach in Bogue Sound across the ICW. Some of us tasted oysters we picked up on the way.
We reached our take-out a Osprey Oaks Marina on Broad Creek at 1:30. We went up Broad Creek to a point blocked by fallen red cedars. We paddled 1/2 hour upstream and saw herons, cormorants and an osprey and enjoyed an entirely different scenery from the Sound. There was hardly a lot without a house along the Sound.
We got into the wilds of Croatan Forest quickly as we paddled up Broad Creek.
We had the waters to ourselves. We encountered four other boats all day. Elmer
The participants were: Dale Weston from Jacksonville, NC, Tom Fineco and Cal Hansen from New Bern NC, Julia Miner from Arapahoe, NC, Jim Morris from Morehead City NC and Elmer Eddy from Swansboro, NC.
