               Hello Adventurers!
  Summer is just around the corner, and many of us will be off traveling – some to new destinations, some to favorite places, or visiting friends and family. Keep the Club in mind as you travel and take lots of photos, then consider presenting a program! We always enjoy hearing from our members and seeing your travels!
  We have another round of diverse and exciting programs – Nepal, Mauna Kea, the Great Barrier Reef, and Alaska and the Pacific Northwest! We do hope you will come and enjoy them and the fellowship of other members!
  Aloha,
Lowell Angell, President

“The Great Barrier Reef is Still Great”

By guest Susan Scott
A recent headline announced that “97 percent of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is Dead,” a statement based on studies of sections of the reef. For the last three years, however, Susan has been intermittently sailing the Great Barrier Reef on her sailboat, Honu, and found it very much alive. She will talk about the science and politics in Australia regarding its world heritage reef as she shows photos of the extraordinary marine life she has encountered. A former registered nurse, Susan earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from the UH and is a graduate of the University’s Marine Option Program. She has written a weekly column, “Ocean Watch,” for the Honolulu Star-Advertiser since 1987, and has written nine books about nature in Hawai`i.
