Registration

Some things are ageless! And watching the sunset from Bushwick Inlet is one of those things. Swedish vampires are another.


This will be a brisk paddle down to Bushwick Inlet, where we can relax for a little while, look for charismatic megafauna, and discuss whether it would be better to name this trip Bushwick Inlet It Be -- less vampires, more Sir Paul McCartney, but is that a good thing? Inquiring minds needed!

Bring water and, if you want, a snack.

Adult paddlers only, please.

Dress for paddling! Wear light, comfortable, NONCOTTON clothes and shoes that can get wet. Depending on interest and personnel (and temperature!), we could even do a little rescue practice. If you want to do that, bring a change of clothes and a towel. You can rinse the salt water off back in the boat yard in a cold-water beach shower.
