NYCkayaker USCG

[Richard Clifford]

NYCKayaker,
    Sure, the USCG are just a bunch of boyos with nothing better to do 
than to set down ridiculous rules interfering with kayakers rights to 
paddle anywhere and everywhere and whenever they like. One almost can 
wonder what the USCG does during the day when they are not beating up 
the kayaking community.

    Please, just a bit of balance and perspective about the process. The 
USCG is dealing with more than this particular event.
