After so much snow and ice, Saturday looks mild and sunny.
We will paddle to Wallabout Bay and maybe a little further, depending on the conditions.

This paddle is open to intermediate and advanced NBCB members who have completed our Winter Paddling class and hold a current Winter membership.

Please note the water temperatures are very low. This will be a dry-suit only paddle. No semi-dry suits are allowed.

You will need to bring adequate thermal protection:
 - warm base layers (no cotton!)
- warm gloves, boots and hat.
 - Remember to pack water, or a hot drink and a snack!  =)
