- Free kayaking
-
The folks at the Hoboken Cove Boathouse sent out an e-mail announcing their first free kayaking day: Sunday July 6th. It’s a great chance to try kayaking without having to go too far. It also means that if you want to cross the Hudson river on a kayak like I did two years ago - and do it for free - - this is is your opportunity. You need to e-mail the organizer to sign up for that, but please only sign up if you’re in decent shape and definitely available - if you don’t show up it means that someone has to tow the kayak back to Manhattan. more
