I recently received an email from this event's organizers asking if I'd be willing to spread word of it. It does sound very interesting and so, here is info. about it. Not sure if I can attend but I'd sure love to!

opportunity to conquer a 19 mile paddle through the Marsh and on the
historic Hudson River. Kayakers of all levels are welcome to join us at
this high-end event. Paddle alongside expert Audubon Naturalist and REI
instructors (Recreation Equipment Inc.). All gear, equipment, breakfast,
snacks and lunch will be provided.
The paddle begins at 6am at the Marsh, continues into the Hudson to
Little Stony Point, Newburgh, Moodna Creek, Storm King Mountain and
ending back at Constitution Marsh Audubon Center. Space is limited to 20
paddlers. Cost of the event is $250 Registration Gift and a minimum
fundraising goal of $500. there will be great incentives and gifts for
the highest fundraisers! Funds raised are tax deductible and will
benefit the Constitution Marsh Audubon Center and Sanctuary. To register

Also those unable to participate can still donate, and all donations
