The whole thing sounds like too much fun and if I wasn't going to be hangin' with the Yonkerian Brethren at the Hudson River Greenland Festival I know what I'd be doing at least one day of the weekend.

>Hey Everyone,
>
>I just wanted to remind everyone about some events coming up...
>
>1) Our very own Harry Spitz, local kayaking scene fixture is doing a large
>art installation on Governors Island this weekend. I don't know of anyone
>doing paddling trips there, but it should be something, even if you come
>by ferry.
>
>Forget about the waterfalls this is really really BIG...
>
>The event is part of "Figment NYC - Big art works for airplanes and
>helicopters."
>
>They have turned over a huge amount of land to Harry and he will be
>drawing large figures, but he won't tell us what, with a chalk marker that
>is used for marking off sports fields.
>
>The event is running all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. There is a free
>ferry to Governors Island that leaves every half hour on the half hour
>from lower Manhattan.
>
>2) On 7/26 virtually every paddling group in the city is participating in
>the City of Water event sponsored by the MWA where we will all converge on
>Governor's Island. Mark your calendar, and check with your local group, or
>outfitter for details on how you can participate. I estimate there will be
>over 100 human powered boats from all 5 boroughs.
>
>See:

>
>3) On 8/17/2008 I am coordinating the swim support for the Grimaldo's Mile
>swim race in Coney Island. This event is always a lot of fun. After the
>race we eat a Gourmet lunch, have a few glasses of wine, and do a little
>surfing out in Breezy Point. I always need experienced help, so if you are
>available please contact me and let me know.
>
>I can arrange transport, and even loan kayaks, for those that don't have a
>car, or boat of their own. I'll post another reminder later, but if you
>are available, or think you might be please let me know.
>
>
>Thanks!!!
