thank you so much for all the advice!!
: Make sure your kayaks are appropriate for the type of paddling you wish to
: do. In addition to wearing a PFD, you should dress appropriately for cold
: water immersion, since we've had a cool Spring. Also beware of security
: zones, as designated by the U. S. Coast Guard, or construction projects
: such as the area north of Pier 63, or the Harlem Piers. Tidal currents can
: be strong, especially at Hell Gate during this weekend's full moon.
: Consider their predicted cycles along with the weather forecast. I would
: even consider water quality after periods of heavy rain and the resulting,
: combined sewer overflows ("CSO's").: Atlantic Kayak Tours has good background info. on their website, and they
: give lessons. For clubs, you might look into the Downtown Boathouse,
: Gowanus Dredgers, Hoboken Cove Boathouse, Inwood Canoe Club, the Long
: Island City Boathouse, Red Hook Boaters, Sebago Canoe Club, or the Yonkers
: Paddling & Rowing Club. Subscribe to "NYCKayaker," a
: regional forum which is maintained by The Hudson River Watertrail
: Association.: If you have to go this weekend and don't have enough time for background
: reading, consider taking a lesson or two at New York Kayak Company or
: Manhattan Kayak Company.: Don't launch your new kayaks into the open NYC waterways without adequate
: preparation, in terms of gear and judgment.: Happy paddling!
