NYCkayaker Manhattan Circ Weekend Update

[Erik Baard]

Wow! Congrats to you both for getting so many people (doubtlessly many  
first-time circumnavigators) on the water for this wonderful

We're starting to fill up for our night time circumnavigation, but  
might have a few spots and certainly welcome experienced people.

Best regards,

Erik
