NYCkayaker Meeting re boathouse at Pier 26 tonight?

[bonnie13 at earthlink.net]

And it was DEFINITELY interested. Pier 26 is not somewhere I personally EVER would have expected to store a boat but I was depressed just on general principal when I read that Downtown Express article about the Trust cutting the Tribeca boathouse because they didn't have the budget - when it's so freaking obvious that the boathouses they ARE building are just plain over- (and mis-) designed & for the cost of the 2 they've already built, they could probably have afforded at least 3 simpler boathouses that actually would have worked better. Bleah. 

So nice to hear sense being spoken at that meeting last night. 

too many deadlines today I did a bit of a writeup on my blog - www.frogma.blogspot.com -  it's not great 'cause I did it too fast after I got home last night, but I think it gives the general sense (attendees are MORE than welcome to send me any corrections or clarifications).

>>Sorry, can't remember if anybody else announced this already but there's a meeting that might be of interest tonight - I don't know if I can make it, if I do it's out of curiousity & I only intend to listen - but I suddenly realized I hadn't done a thing to pass the word.  It's on their public notice section at www.cb1.org . I have no more details than this.
