NYCkayaker (no subject)

[Tim Gamble]

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the last minute notice, but this group is looking for people to
help with a swim support upstate on Friday.

They will pick-up kayaks in their large motor boats at Chelsea Piers, or
the Downtown Boathouse Pier 96 location at 56th St. They will drive the
kayaks up to the swim, and also bring them back.

See details below:
