Thank you, from Hoboken Boathouse!
In case you did not already hear, the 1st Annual Hoboken Boathouse Fundraiser was a huge success! We could not have asked for more support from our event Sponsors and volunteers, and friends of the Boathouse.
The event featured MC Soul Joel, Cap’n Mary of The Pirate Circus, and YOU. More than 150 of our closest friends packed the lounge and bar at Lua, including Mayor Dawn Zimmer, Freeholder Anthony Romano, Councilman Peter Cunningham, Councilwoman Beth Mason, and Councilman Ravi Bhalla.

NEW! Hoboken Boathouse Membership
During the event, Hoboken Boathouse also offered the opportunity for our kayaking friends to become Charter Members of the Hoboken Boathouse. Membership is $50, and provides special access to volunteer training, Hudson River Paddles, and much more for the 2010 season. Please email info@hobokencoveboathouse.org if you are interested in becoming a charter member, or purchase your membership today online via PayPal.
This Holiday Season, Order a NEW! Hoboken Boathouse T-Shirts and Consider a Boathouse Donation
While it may be cold out on the Hudson River, we will be working this winter to plan for the upcoming 2010 season. The season typically begins in early-June, with volunteer training, and our first Free Kayaking Day programs. This holiday season, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Hoboken Boathouse to help sponsor Free Kayaking Days. In 2009, we helped nearly 1,000 participants paddle the Hudson River, many for the first time. We also sponsored several Hudson River paddle trips and pre-season volunteer training. Your end-of-the year 2009 donation will help to sustain these programs next year.
What’s next?
Enjoy the upcoming holiday season, and we will be in touch in March 2010, with the Annual Hoboken Boathouse Meeting and announcements for the Summer 2010 season. Stay tuned!

NYC premiere of "Eastern Horizons" at Downtown Boathouse
The Downtown Boathouse and the Hudson River Paddlers Guild invite you to the New York City premiere of Eastern Horizons – an award-winning sea kayaking adventure film. Meet filmmaker Bryan Smith and New York paddling community’s own Marcus Demuth, who will make a presentation on his record-setting first kayak circumnavigation of the Falkland Islands.
Tuesday, April 7th 2009, 7:30 PM
Pier 96 Boathouse, 56th Street at the Hudson River
Free Admission
Eastern Horizons blends the history and culture of the sea with world class sea kayakers. From the rich marshes in North Carolina to the icebergs in Newfoundland and from the urban landscape of New York City to the remote fishing villages of the Magdalene Islands; the film features a major segment shot right here in New York City with local paddlers. Join them at the Downtown Boathouse to enjoy the film and presentations, and socialize with many fellow Metro Area paddlers!
