Kayaklust and kayaking to work
Is anyone up for lunch in Edgewater this Saturday (travelling from 23rd Street in Manattan by kayak)? I’d need to borrow a boat. I was going to go out with an MKC group this past Saturday, but the details of day-to-day life got in the way (specifically, the final stages of Brian’s move).
A coworker of mine lives near our destinations up there, and talking with her about it today sort of inspired me to want to do it.
I’ve also been thinking a lot about paddling to work, which is something a lot of urban kayakers day dream about. There’s a floating dock near my office, which doesn’t seem to be used for anything, so I could pull my boat up when I arrive, and shower at the gym. This could be very doable once the warm weather comes back.
Bonnie is back from Sweetwater.
I definitely might be up for lunch in Edgewater weather & tides permitting - usually that’s an every other week thing though.
Saturday was pretty crazy weatherwise anyways - we hit one pocket of turbulence coming into LaGuardia that had people screaming a little bit. I was too busy taking pictures of Hell Gate to care. Fun seeing it from the air for once!

Coincidentally, Brian and I drove around that area yesterday (on the way back from a friend’s house in queens), and I was able to point out to him that I have paddled in pretty much all the water one can see from the Grand Central Parkway and the Triborough Bridge.
I checked quickly, and it looks like the tides are favorable — High Tide at the battery is at 11:44am, which would get us to Edgewater at a civilized time for lunch.

Sounds perfect!

ok, weather’s now looking not-so-great again. I’m gonna stay home & attend to my messy, foodless apartment.

Sounds like a better idea. Maybe next week.
