What: The Mayor’s Boat Ride – a tour of Petaluma’s waterways in non-motorized watercraft hosted by Friends of the Petaluma River and PSC3 (the Petaluma Small Craft Center Coalition)

When: Aug. 5th, 2007 - 10AM to 12:30PM (preceded by a boat tour Down-river in motorized craft to Ellis Creek for selected officials and community leaders)

Where: Petaluma Marina launch ramp – 781 Baywood Dr. (near Hwy 101 at Lakeville).

Who: All citizens with non-motorized watercraft are encouraged to participate (kayaks, canoes, traditional rowboats, outrigger canoes, sculls etc.)
