Once more, we venture around your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by wharves as Indian isles by coral reefs, in the harsh light of day! NBBC's first day-time circ of Manhattan was a smash hit! Let's do it again!

This is a trip for advanced paddlers. It will be around ten hours of paddling with three breaks. If you are not sure whether you are qualified for this trip, please e-mail Michael (mr.haskell at the gmail) to ask. We can take only advanced paddlers who can paddle for up to three hours at a stretch (three times in a row!).

We will be taking our big canoes, seven people in each. You'll need to bring some food, money for other food, plenty of water, and clothes for any weather we might encounter.

The two big canoes have already filled up, but if you are interested in the circ, please join the waitlist in case someone cancels or we decide to increase the capacity.
