On-Land Trip Assistant Training and Hang!
At this casual get together at Queens Landing, veteran Trip Assistants Allison and Julie will bring members up to speed on the new boathouse and all 'on-land' things to know when assisting and/or being a deckhand on kayak trips.
We'll go over equipment, how to pair someone with the right boat, fitting PFDs and paddles, radio calls, and the general workflow involved when a trip goes out...and clean up afterwards.
This is open to existing AND aspiring Trip Assistants, Deckhands, and anyone who would like to become more familiar with the lay of the land, and the operations of an NBCB kayak trip.
Afterwards we can head to Greenpoint Beer & Ale or another spot to enjoy the sunset.
Friday June 14th, 7pm
Location: Queens Landing Boathouse and Environmental Center (57-28 2nd St, Long Island City, NY 11101).
Please register and we look forward to seeing you there!
