NYCkayaker Help for Swim Rach on 8/5

[Tim Gamble]

Hi,

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

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 can provide transportation for
your kayak to and from Manhattan, but it is easier if you have your own
car and can drive yourself.

If you need a ride from NYC, meet at the Downtown Boathouse Pier 96
location at 5:00AM. If you don't keep your boat at the Boathouse, but need
it taken to the beach please bring it to the Boathouse on Saturday 8/4
between 10:00AM and 5:00PM when the Boathouse is open.

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.

If you can help please call me at the number below so I know you are coming.

Thanks!

Tim...
