Due to windy conditions and a small craft advisory - this paddle is canceled!
Come join us for a late season paddle on the Newtown Creek.
We will launch mid afternoon and head past the K bridge. If the conditions allow we may explore some of Newtown Creek's tributaries and return just on sunset. We should be done by 530 giving everyone plenty of time to go cast your vote!
If you are a bow/ middle paddler please join the wait-list. We will add spots for bow paddlers and move people from the wait-list to the main registration as stern paddlers sign up.
Remember this is a late season paddle and conditions are cooler. Bring something warm, water and a snack. We will keep an eye on the weather and update participants if conditions change.
This quick paddle is to celebrate the new Mayor of NYC... Summer is gone, but this Wednesday is a perfect day to be outside: air 62 and water 57 degrees. We are going to practice some skills, new strokes. You have the option of wearing neoprene or a drysuit, if you have taken the winter class. Bring something hot to drink.
It’s Bulb Planting Season! Flower Watercolor Workshop for Adults
Space is Limited geared for adults
Celebrate Bulbfest—the joyful annual planting of thousands of tulip and daffodil bulbs in Hunters Point Parks—with a relaxing 90-minute floral watercolor workshop for adults.
We’ll begin with a short, engaging presentation about the fascinating history and science of flower bulbs, then dive into a playful hands-on painting session. Learn watercolor basics like color mixing, brush control, and techniques such as wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry.
You’ll practice painting petals, leaves, and stems before creating your own tulip—or any flower that inspires you!
All levels are welcome. Art supplies will be provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own favorites.
Contact monbertkayak@gmail.com with questions.
Presented by scientific illustrator Monica Schroeder and NBCB.
