You should probably contact Joan as I will be away for about 3 weeks
prior to that weekend and out of email contact.

We can repost the details if anyone wants.  Basically it is three days
of paddling.  Saturday to the Statue of Liberty (some side trips and a
nite paddle possible) and dinner that night followed stayover at my
place for out of towners (including tenting on the roof of a brownstone
high above the muggers :-)).  Sunday paddling around West Point and the
Hudson Highlands (this is where the Hudson River resembles a fiord with
1,000 ft hills on both sides; the place has geographical and historical
significance as well) followed by barbeque at the Volins and sleepover
there for out of towners.  Monday is paddling around City Island and
some lighthouses (this is the western end of Long Island Sound and the
backdoor marine access to NYC) plus dinner at a seafood restaurant for
those who can linger.

We also have storage of kayaks well covered.  I have been asked for
recommendations on places to stay.  I suggest getting info from AAA.
There are cheaper hotels in NYC.  There is one right on Chambers St not
far from the Downtown Boathouse (it is where some of the outrigger
racers stay), but I forget its name.  It might be a possibility.  I
won't have much time to help as I indicated above but do feel free to
call me through about May 2nd to ask questions about this.

As for T-shirts and logos, we could probably coordinate purchase of
these and make them available for the Paddlewiser Mingle that weekend. 
I hope someone can take the lead on this, order up a bunch, sell them
for a few bucks above costs to cover any shortfall in sales and, if a
"profit" is made, donate it to the Downtown Boathouse and it free public
kayak program.
