World Rivers Day 2009

It's World Rivers Day 2009, and so far found the following blog posts for the group writing competition:
  • A celebration of the river Sakonnet over on Proper Course which turns out to be a good place to sail Lasers
  • Mean while on O Dock its the turn of the river American, together with the gold rush and blue jeans
  • As a special guest, Bonnie on Frogma is celebrating National Estuary Day by opening up her blog to the ferret Paprika, who I'm hoping to hearing more from
  • On My 2 Fish there's a nice post about drifting down the Platte River on an inflatable with three young children
  • On DoryMan there's a description of what sounds like in parts at least a wonderfully unspoilt river, the Yaquina that winds its way to the Pacific in Oregan
  • Finally there's my post about the little Nailbourne.
Two more!
  • Pat's written about a river with a historic, evocative name, the Rio Grande, with stories about searching for rum, romance with a lass from upriver, and sailing or rafting on its waters
  • Greg and Chris have been up the Wenatchee for the Oktoberfest (er, heh guys, don't want to be anal or anything but isn't still September?) which sounds like a lot of fun
Thanks everyone who blogged: the rivers of the world deserve to be recognised and I've really enjoyed reading every post.

Any more out there?
