It was a gorgeous day on the water. We hope this map and pictures
by Ed Gruca will help you to enjoy some of the pleasures of paddling
the White Oak River with us.

The plan was to paddle the western shore on this trip. as you can see
by the second arrow we cut off the very first horseshoe bend through
a canal.
Here we all are at Scott Grafton’s new docking facilities at the Stella Bridge
Ed willl have to tell us where this was taken. I do not rcognize it.
Another shot at the same location

We were sheltered from a west wind by the western shore for most of the trip.
A pretty strong wind developed about a mile out of Swansboro. I guess that’s
why Ed did not take any more pictures.
We will have some more from Joanne later. It was a most enjoyable day on the water.
