Waccamaw River Tour June 19
The club has scheduled a field trip with Waccamaw River Tours that will provide an opportunity to see large birds such as ospreys. We are limiting attendance to about 20 photographers so there is room to move around on the boat. The captain will maneuver the boat to provide opportunities for special shots. The boat will live at 8 a.m. and the cost is $38.95. If interested in pre-booking, call 888-315-9439 and let them know you are with the CCCC group.
