Hi Mary,
Thanks again for the great chat today! If any of your kayaking friends or local contacts come to mind who you think might be willing to lend their assistance this Saturday, July 13th please share with them the Volunteer link and/or pass along my contact info and have them reach out to me.

Very appreciative for your willingness to spreading the good word to your AMC Boston Paddlers!

Best Regards,
Lars

---------------------------------------------

My name is Lars Finanger and I am the Race Director for an event taking place in the Boston Harbor Islands this Saturday, July 13th called SwimRun Boston Harbor Islands.

We have the support and assistance of the US Coast Guard and Boston Police to provide our swimmers with safe passages as they swim between islands. 

However, I am reaching out because we are seeking volunteer boats for several water based locations along the race course to keep an eye on our athletes while swimming. Powered craft (aux, sail, jetski OK) and kayaks are the most suitable vessels being sought. Must have required safety gear aboard. 

With the start taking place on Peddocks Island, Hull would be the ideal place to paddle out from.

Assignments by region are for approximately 3 hours:
6-9am between Peddocks - Georges, Georges - Lovells
7-10am between Lovells - Long
9am-12pm between Long-Spectacle

Volunteers will receive a special edition race t-shirt and access to our post-race finish line food and drink taking place on Spectacle Island.

I am grateful for your consideration and your willingness to share this outreach to your friends to participate as Volunteers.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or clarifications you might have.

Thank you,
Lars

co-Founder / Race Director
