Listings) All-Abilities Water Sports Recreation Event in the 1000 Islands July 2008 North Country Access 2008 is an all-day all-abilities water sports recreation event taking place at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, NY, July 19, 2008. Children and adults with mobility impairments, sensory limitation or other disabling conditions will have the chance to fully participate and are encouraged to register for this rare opportunity in a world that is not designed with disability in mind. Water sports and educational clinics will take place throughout the day Saturday, July 19 including rowing a traditional St. Lawrence skiff, sailing solo or with an experienced instructor or kayaking the quiet waters of French Creek. For those anxious to try waterskiing appropriate equipment will be available and for those just wanting to stay landbound, fishing off the dock is an option. How about a speedboat ride? Bring a secure hat and hold on to your camera while thundering down the River in a gleaming mahogany triple-cockpit runabout from the Museum’s fine collection of wooden boats. On Sunday, July 20 a rafting trip on the Black River will be offered to those interested. Advanced registration is required for the rafting trip. A registration packet and complete event details will be made available at www.ncaccess.org as it becomes available. This event is sponsored by North Country Access Cycling, Northern New York’s chapter of Disabled Sports, USA.
