NYCkayaker Aug 2nd Manhattan Circumnavigate - Anyone from NJ going?

[William]

Hopefully I won't get yelled at for this ...
Anyone from NJ going? Am thinking of:

1. launching from Englewood, NJ boat basin (2 miles north of the GWB directly opposite Spuyten Duyvil)around 2:30am 
2. catch the ebb to the DTBH at Pier 96 by 5:30am 
3. meetup with the small group paddling to Pier 40 by 6:30am. 

It will be a new moon night so ixnay on the "light of the silvery moon" deal .... i.e. a dark crossing of the Hudson (other than NYC lights) 
So will DEFF need our boats lighted, and this will be an “unofficial” launch ….   

GWB Current table below ... so it will be in our favor heading down. 

IF interested, Let me know ASAP
