Long Distance Paddlers Speak at Beczak Sat. Sept. 29

Friends -

The Capital to Capital Canoe Expedition is paddling by Yonkers on this
Saturday, on day 24 of their 1000+ mile journey from Ottawa, Canada to
Washington, DC. They'll stop, camp for a day or two, and speak at Beczak
Environmental Education Center on SAturday, Sept. 29, at 7 PM, as part of
the RiverTalks series sponsored by YPRC and Hudson River Watertrail Assn.
 Come and find out what they experienced paddling down Lake Champlain, what
Canada's River Declaration is all about, why they chose to paddle a 36'
Voyageur Canoe, and how Canada's approach to clean water differs from ours.

The 10 person *Capital to Capital* team includes Max Finkelstein from
Ottawa, a long distance paddler and author of Canoeing a Continent;Nicholas
Tilgner, a Yukon River Guide, Dot Bonnenfant, long distance paddler and
artist, and Willis Elkins, trip leader/canoe instructor for the North
Brooklyn Boat Club.
