hello all,
I am relatively new to the group. I went to the bicycle outing
last saturday and enjoyed it. I am planning to go to the canoeing
trip this weekend. I called the Peconic Paddler and checked out the
rates. It is 47$/day. The capacity of the canoe is 3adults or
2adults+2children. I would like to know if anyone who is interested
in coming is looking for someone to share the costs.
I will be coming from Deer Park and can also pick you up if you
need a ride to the place. If anyone is interested pls respond
directly to my email. Thank you.

-Reddy.
