Neuse River Days at Union Point Park in New
Bern, NC. Saturday will be full of paddle, sailing and human powered
raft events. There will be two marathon races, a 4 and a 8 mile
race. One on the Trent River and the other on the Neuse River. There
will also be four fun relay team races and a Poker Run for kayakers
and canoeists. A Sun Fish sailing Regatta will be held off of Union
Point in the Neuse and there will be two human propelled raft races
in the afternoon. There will be food vendors, several kayak
outfitters and other water sports exhibitors. On the 19th there will
be a series of kayak and canoe oriented workshops at Union Point.
These will include paddle clinics, a photography on the water clinic
and several others. A fun recreational paddle will start in the
afternoon and conclude the day. We are printing out a brochure and
can send more info as you or Bill see fit. I hope we can get some
good club participation at some of these events. The 4 mile paddle
would be a good one for many of our members as there are gender and
age categories including one for us seniors. The prizes are good.
