Hallets Cove Walk-up paddles

 
What: A comfortable introduction to kayaking for all ages in the relatively protected waters of Hallets Cove.

The views of Blackwell Lighthouse and Manhattan are wonderful, the company on the little beach is great, and it's always cooler on the water! Help us clean the beach if the community spirit moves you, which we certainly hope it will. Dress to get wet and feel free to bring a beach blanket.

When: From 1PM until 5PM, with the last paddlers sent out at about 4:45PM.

How: JUST SHOW UP !

Who: You! We strongly recommend that you know how to swim, but novices can be kept in standing depths near shore. All must wear life jackets.

Ted Gruber and Tanya Elder are coordinating this program. They are other veteran volunteers will be a resource for public participants on the beach and the water, and the public would be wise to defer to the wisdom of their experience. Stay within the boundaries volunteers point out to you. These can change from week to week or even within the same day, depending on wind and other conditions.

Where: Socrates Sculpture Park's ( http://www.socratessculpturepark.org ) beach at Hallets Cove, where 31st Avenue intersects Vernon Boulevard. Look for our banner and a wooden staircase over the retaining wall.
