All,

Randy Henriksen of the New York Kayak Company has very generously
arranged to hold a Cold Water Paddling Safety Seminar at the downtown
boathouse on November 13th at 9:00 AM.

Dr. Adriana Manikian, a Bellevue ER physician will talk about 
physiological responses to cold water immersion. Randy will give a talk
on the risks of cold water paddling and strategies for managing the
risks through planning, technique, equipment and clothing.

You are then invited to test your cold water paddle clothing in a
supervised environment. If you have cold water equipment bring it along
to test it. We will also have several drysuits and a few Henderson
Trilaminates for people to try. If you participate in this part of the
workshop you will be required to sign a special waiver and agree to
follow all instructions given by the supervisors. People who plan to get
into the water will be required to bring a towel, warm dry clothes to
change into, and a hot beverage in a thermos. Sleeping bags will not be
required, but are suggested 

This workshop is open to local sea kayakers - all are welcome. New York
Kayak Company is donating the equipment and their time. There is no
charge for participation, there is no need to register in advance, but
please be prompt.

This is an unprecedented opportunity to try on equipment and get expert
instruction in cold water techniques. Don’t miss it!
