Row Around Manhattan to Support Rocking the BoatOn Saturday, October 3rd, eight teams of rowers will navigate 28.5 miles around Manhattan in a fleet of hand-built wooden boats to raise money for Rocking the Boat, a South Bronx boatbuilding and environmental education youth development program. Each team has pledged to raise $4,000 to support Rocking the Boat’s mission to “use boats to build kids to help them develop into empowered and responsible adults.”
This first-ever circumnavigation to raise funds for Rocking the Boat will push off at 6:00 a.m. from the Village Community Boathouse’s boathouse at Pier 40, on West Houston Street, make scenic breakfast and lunch stops at Hallet’s Cove, Long Island City and Swindler’s Cove in Washington Heights, and return to Pier 40 by 3:30 p.m. for an appreciation and awards barbecue.
