We volunteered at the New York City Marathon from 3am-1100am on November 6. This time, instead of sleeping in our Subaru in the parking lot at South Staton Island Beach we slept in our camper. Last year when we'd volunteered for that time frame we didn't realize that our camper would not be outfitted for the replacement truck (with four wheel drive) that we bought in order to more safely trailer our River Dancer C-Dory in and out of the water. But this year we were all cushy and comfy in our camper. We had sashimi for dinner at a nearby restaurant, turned in early and slept good until 2am when we got ready and caught a shuttle the short distance to the marathon start point at Fort Wadsworth Park at the base of the Verazzanno-Narrows Bridge.
We really enjoyed our volunteer time. Our job was to check in other volunteers. Maybe next year we will see about volunteering at the finish line in Central Park. That could be fun. And a lot more chaos, probably. Hmmmm... Maybe. Maybe not.
Maybe.
