It's that time of year folks! Time for our annual overnight adventure, NBBC's original Manhattan Circumnavigation! Be prepared to paddle for approximately 6 hours, though we'll  be out on our journey for closer to 8 hours including breaks. We'll stop periodically to stretch our legs, use the potty, and refuel.  Traditionally, we've come up the East River with the sunrise, returning to the boatyard for a big group breakfast (open to all club members).

This is an advanced level trip. In order to participate you must have joined a number of trips with NBBC throughout this season. Signing up will not guarantee participation; if I am unfamiliar with your paddling ability I will reach out to you directly.  I will approve paddlers and send out final confirmations on an ongoing basis over the next week or so. Depending on sign-ups we'll take at least one big canoe, possibly two!

You'll need to bring clothing layers,  snacks, and possibly warm drinks.  More details will be sent out closer to the date of the trip!
