[CKF Info] Jack's Garden Party June 29

[MicroCapMaven at aol.com]

See you guys on the 29th.  I'm currently in NY at my brother  Capt. Mike's, 
headed for his week's sailing course this week. Went  with him, my dazzling 13 
year old twin nieces and some club  members to the Clearwater Expo (sort of  a 
post-Love Generation Woodstock)  in Croton-On-Hudson, NY and saw some icons 
of the 60's, such as Pete Seeger. 
 
The real highlight was paddling with the Yonkers Canoe Club, that  had a  
booth there and offered on-the water paddling opptys for all  comers.  They were 
loaning out SOT's, but were persuaded to lend me a nice  Current Designs sea 
kayak and ended up drafting me for picket duty to keep  people from getting 
washed down the river to NYC.  I spent some time in the  cool Hudson River 
breezes while the madding crowd sweltered on the shore and got  propagandized.  Also 
rowed dories and explored the tall ship  "Clearwater."  There were homeboyz 
from the Bronx and other nearby  localities demonstrating extreme proficiency 
in wood boat, canoe and  kayak-building.  
 
Will be paddling at Fire Island, NY, in between sailing lessons,  to help 
maintain my proficiency in a futile attempt to match Jack Brisley,  Eskimo Lee 
Shurie and "Hullcracker" Wilson.  Hope that some more of  you CKF'ers will join 
us.  I'll be offline because there's no Internet at  the Appalachin Club sea 
lodge where we'll be staying-- one of the charms of the  place.
 
Regards,
George Miller

Steve,  thanks much, and it is going to be a gas. It was last time and will 
be more so  this time, cause you’ll be able to join us! While I’m at it here, I
’ll remind  anyone thinking of coming to drop any of us an email. “Any of us”
 would be  George, Steve, Lee or myself.  If the swell is large we’ll still 
paddle but  might move to a more protected launch spot close by, so let us know 
if you’re  coming. See you guys next weekend. Anyone else interested drop a 
line if you  aren’t sure. Can’t do much about THE HILL, but we could be quite 
accommodating  on the helping with the launch and guidance on the route if  
required.

Kayakers,

Paddling  with Jack is always exciting. He knows what he's doing in the rocks 
and  surf. I always learn something every time I paddle with him.  If  you 
don't mind the hill climb and a rocky launch into the open sea it's  going to be 
a gas.

Details at the CKF web site.

Rock  On

Steve (last I heard anyway)  Wilson
