November Meeting
The next meeting will be Tuesday, November 3rd, 7
p.m. in the Longleaf Room of Five Rivers Delta Resource Center. Carol Furman, MBCKC member will present on
Edible Wetland Plants. Carol became
interested in edible wetland plants back when she worked leading boat tours out
of Five Rivers. She had to learn the “usual
spiel” that was traditionally presented.
However, Carol quickly became bored with that and yearned to learn
more. She began studying on her own,
thus, adding extensively to that original knowledge base. She was then able to expand the “usual spiel”
by talking about the plants the participants saw along the way, including
anecdotes and the history behind them. Come
join us as Carol shares her knowledge of the edible wetland plants that are
right here in our Delta!

October Meeting
The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, Oct 6th, at 7:00 p.m. in the Longleaf Room at Five Rivers Delta Resource Center. Juli Day, MBCKC member, will present on the five week road trip adventure she had this summer in celebration of her retirement. She traveled from North Carolina to Pennsylvania into New England, then Canada and down through Wisconsin paddling different bodies of water along the way.
Notes from September's meeting:
Thank you to Dr. Ruth Carmichael for her time and fantastic presentation on the Northern Gulf of Mexico Manatees. We learned fascinating facts about Manatees this evening; one surprise is that they often travel in ship channels! and although they usual cruise 3-5 mph, can reach speeds of 35 mph! and their migration from Mobile Bay to Crystal River can take as little as one week (imagine that), or 2 months, depending on their mood and their motivation!
Also, thanks to Harriet for leading the meeting.

Meet at Big Daddy's at 2 pm on Sunday, June 14. We'll go up Fish River (and avoid power boats) for a couple hours and turn around when we feel like it. Bring pfd, water, sunscreen, and (if you want) a snack. Optional dinner at Big Daddy's after the paddle. They usually have a musical group on the deck that we listen to. Non-paddlers can join us for food, drinks, and music. If you'd like to know any change of plans call me at 990-5575 or e-mail me that you hope to come. It doesn't obligate you. Give me your phone number. Otherwise you may not know of changes. NEAR TIME OF THE PADDLE ONLY, I'LL HAVE MY DUMB CELL PHONE ON. 251-454-6084. Nancy Ward
Sunday, June 28 - Easy Magnolia River Paddle 2pm
If it's hot outside it's cool by and in the water. An easy, relaxing paddle with places to play in the water. On Sunday, June 28, meet at 2 pm in the city of Magnolia Springs at the Shell station on Highway 98 and city road 49. (Careful, city rd 49 comes out in two places---go to the Shell station.) We'll drive the short distance to the Rock Street put-in. We'll help each other carry our boats 50 yards or so to the river's edge. We'll paddle up the Magnolia River past the cold hole and soon be in narrow, shallow water the power boaters cannot even access. There are places to get out and play in the water. We'll reverse our route and paddle down stream past our put in spot. Folks with other commitments can leave the group easily there. We'll go down stream until we decide we want to turn around. Much of the down stream is a no wake zone which folks on the Magnolia are good to honor. Bring pfd, sunscreen, water, probably a snack, and maybe bug spray. Call or e-mail Nancy (990-5575) and give me your phone number if you want to be notified of any changes in plans. It doesn't commit you.
