NYCkayaker Kayak Support for Swim Race on 8/5

[Tim Gamble]

Hey There,

I'm writing to ask for your help to provide kayak support for the upcoming
CIBBOWS race on August 5th.

I know it is early, but I am going to be out of town from 7/12 Through
8/3, so if you  are sure you can help, I'd like to know, since I want to
do as much advanced planning as possible.

The race is a 1 mile swim race along the beach in Coney Island. You can
read about CIBBOWS and the race at:
http://www.cibbows.org/races/2007.html

This group is not affiliated with the Manhattan Island Foundation that
runs the races in the Hudson River.

This is an easy race to support. It is just a 1 mile course along the
beach. You need to be comfortable in your kayak, and able to control it,
but advanced skills are not required.

If you want to help please let me know. I especially need people who can
bring their own boats via car. I may be able to get a trailer to bring
boats from the Downtown Boathouse, but I'm not sure.

Let me know if you can drive yourself, or you need a ride.

We will launch from 2 separate locations:
1)Plumb beach off the Belt Parkway. Meet at 06:30, launch at 07:00.
2)On the beach at the Start in Brighton Beach, meet at 07:30, launch at
08:00.

Because it is Sunday there is free parking available at the start, and
parking is always free at Plumb Beach.

After the race a number of us plan to spend the morning and early
afternoon paddling out to Breezy Point, maybe doing a little surfing.

CIBBOWS will supply breakfast. I will supply a gourmet lunch for anyone
who wants to do the Breezy Pt paddle.

Thanks!

Tim...
