The currents have been a little uncooperative for after-work trips this season, but let's take what we can get.

Once again, we gird our loins in noncotton cloth and prepare to fight the forces of capital that we might carve out a little bit of peace and contemplation!

We might take tandems; we might take one of the 29' Langley canoes, depending on how many people we have.

I've left time in the outward route to let us get past the ferries in Long Island City. If we go fast, we can hang out in Hallets Cove and watch the world go by for a little while before riding the ebb current home.

Which, assuming we feel comfortable with the idea, and depending on crew and conditions, we will do on the west side of Roosevelt Island -- where the wild things are!

Bring a snack.

If you have questions, please let me know.
