The Bowlines has been a unique record of the BWA and its members for the past 30 years. Unique in that is has been more than a listing of club activities and general information about paddling and related issues. When you read Bowlines you read about each of us and what we thought and did over the years. Members have contributed articles not only about paddling, conservation, and the club, but also stories crafted with humor, imagination, as well as the spirit of enthusiasm for our paddling life and enjoyment of each other. There have been songs, poems, soap operas, jokes, cartoons, wedding or birth announcements, and of course, unique trip reports. Not what you might think you would see in a whitewater club newsletter!
Bowlines was chosen by Paddler Magazine as topPaddling Club Newsletter taking top honors for the design, content, entertainment and usefulness. We owe a thank you to the newsletter editors and to our club members for their contributions. Enjoy memories or chuckle at the amusing stories, poems and pictures while you read the Bowlines! Since 1996 it has been avilable in electonic form. (Acrobat Reader, free software is found on our download page)
