Yesterday, the Mayor's Cup New York City Kayak Championships were called off when a few participants "were pulled by the current into the path of a hulking barge" near Battery Park. Apparently the strong winds and currents made things difficult--a witness told the News,"The current was pretty strong. It just pushed them under the barge. One of the men got himself out of the water [and onto the barge] and used a rope to rescue the others. You could tellthey were struggling to get out."
