Saturday September 13th - 9:30am to 6:30pm -  East River Paddle to Francis Lewis Park (and back). This trip is 9 miles each way but has tidal current assist both going out and coming back. We'll pass through Hell Gate, the Brother Islands, LGA airport and under five East River bridges. Enjoy a BYO lunch at the park before returning with the ebb tide. There will be one break in each direction at Barretto Point Park. Please note that signing up is your first step and DOES NOT guarantee you a spot on this trip. Acceptance will be determined by LICCB trip leaders. Volunteers who have been most helpful in running our public programs will have priority. Frequent helpful volunteers may invite a guest for this paddle. A few spots will be available to "pull an oar" in one of the big rowboats for a higher, drier ride.

Saturday September 20th - 6:45am to 7:45pm - Daytime Circumnavigation of Manhattan Island
This epic kayak voyage certainly isn't for everyone. At minimum, you'll need sufficient experience, excellent boat control skills and the strength and stamina to go the distance. Please note that signing up is your first step and DOES NOT guarantee you a spot on this trip. Acceptance will be determined by LICCB trip leaders. Volunteers who have been most helpful in running our public programs will have priority. This 30 mile journey will last about 11 hours which includes plenty of rest stops. Some of the breaks will be on water while rafting in moving current to gain some free mileage. Show up time will be on Saturday morning at 6:45am and a walk away time of 7:45pm on Saturday evening. The 13 hour window includes check in, setup and wrap up. Most paddlers will be paired up in our faster, more comfortable Zest 2exp kayaks. Please sign up here before Friday to be considered for this event. Each person must sign up separately.  
This trip itinerary may be modified if weather conditions are not ideal.
