I for one have not seen Astoria from the water in quite a while. Let's go see if it's still there. If we can get the Costco card, maybe we'll hit the snack bar. If we are feeling like an adventure, we'll come back on the other side of Roosevelt Island. Either way: let's remember what good times feel like. Together. Messing about in boats.
An intermediate trip, though as long as we have enough experienced stern paddlers, beginners are welcome.
Remember that the water is still cool! Dress for the water, not the air: NO COTTON clothing. Wear layers, bring water and maybe a snack. Let's holiday.
I have missed you!
