NYCkayaker Revised Paddle for Parkinson's Cure

[Lee Reiser/Leona Fontaine]

Hi All,
   Cherie and Paul have revised their schedule, (see below) to reflect where their rest stops and stayovers will be. Please feel free to join them at any point along the route, but also be advised that even this schedule could change due to adverse weather. I have instructed them to monitor channel 68 on marine radio if you wish to contact them when they are in your area. I will also be in contact with them by cellphone on a daily basis and will report back to all lists with any changes. See you on the trip!
