Anyone from North Carolina? :D
I've been wondering if there is any other mers I could meet up with some day when I get my tail done.
If I ever do ; u; ....

[Mahi Mermaid]

I am!!!! Where at in NC??

[Nyx]

Holly Springs :D

You??

[Mahi Mermaid]

Im in Wilmington-- it's close to the border of SC

[Nyx]

Oh that's far.
But still, having someone in NC is nice :D

In Greensboro, NC, the Natural Science Center is working on an expansion called the Carolina SciQuarium.

I wonder if they'd let merfolk swim in that 90,000 tank? :)

[Mahi Mermaid]

oooh that'd be fun. when are they working on that?

[Nyx]

Now I'm excited for that!
Someone should go tell them to let guest mermaids swim in there ;3

[Nyx]

I looked on their website,
I think that's the tank they are going to have for the sharks <3

[Merman Dan]

yep! Probably sand tigers/gray nurse sharks, if memory serves. Hey, I'd do it!

[Nyx]

Same,
I actually, really want to go swimming with sharks XD

[Merman Dan]

Perhaps I should ask the NSC if they'd like a tankful of merfolk to help drum up business? ;)

[Nyx]

yes, yes you should :D

[shimmygoddess]

I am in Cary/Apex, NC

[Merman Dan]

I'll be at Topsail Beach the rest of the week. It's a bit choppy for swimming in a tail, but it feels SO good to get my gills wet. :)

[Nyx]

Oh luckyy, I'm stuck at home cleaning. But on the other hand I'm working on my tail :)

[Merman Dan]

If anyone is familiar with the Greensboro Aquatic Center (http://www.greensboroaquaticcenter.com), I e-mailed them in July, asking "Is the use of skin-diving equipment; mask, fins, snorkel, allowed at the GAC? I was searching for a facility to skin-dive in during winter months". I did not want to immediately push a point by mentioning tails and monofins. Today they replied with "Yes, but not going in dive well and no SCUBA gear".

It would wouldn't it? :)

Hey, don't know if ya'll check the the Carolinas thread on the Pod of the South group page, but there's a meet up for the North Carolina Mers soon. Right now we are thinking early January and meeting at one of the aquatic centers in the Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area). Triangle Aquatic Center in Cary has one of the deepest pools in the area and they are interested in having us mers there!

I've requested to join your group -- I hope you don't mind! I live in SC, but I have family near Charlotte off Lake Norman so I'm up there every other month or so visiting and hopefully I'll have a chance to meet up with ya'll!

[Sea Pearl]

Welcome Taniira. Glad to have you join the group, the more the merrier :) It's great to see another Carolina mer!
