NYCkayaker Watertrail Guide Question....

[mark handy]

Sandy:

You're talking about the coming-soon NYC Parks water trail, right?  I think Parks has decided to freeze the list of sites at the present 12 (18?), even though a number of additional sites were proposed recently.  The surveys for those 12 are now in the hands of the volunteer surveyors.  The surveyors have the option of listing nearby places that are pleasant or interesting or useful.  I intend to list the various Palisades attractions on my survey for the Dyckman Street site.  I think Tim Gamble is doing the survey for one of the midtown sites, so perhaps he will talk about Hoboken and Weehawken places.

So- I just have a question for the guys involved with NY watertrail guide...I know it's NY so that makes sense...But-Do you guys think it's a good idea to -not --inform kayakers- (especially ones that are not familiar with the area)-that if they skip across river-in about 10- 15 minutes they can land, rest, eat, pee at alot of spots.....? &nbsp; When I'm paddling-I go by what's easy to land or launch at... or what's entertaining coming up next...<br>Maybe a very very small footnote here and there for stuff nearby would be helpful. Especially things so dramatically close to NY.<br>Believe me....I'm used to Jersey being ignored or dissed...And sadly--I almost enjoy it in some perverse way... But&nbsp; I kind of don't get it this one as a kayaker guide in this paddling zone...&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>Sandy<br><p>&#32;
