First Manhattan Circumnavigation Since I Moved My Boat to Canarsie...

And now that I have your attention - ha ha, guess what, too pooped to write it up! 30 miles (26 around plus a couple of miles to and from Red Hook, Brooklyn, where we launched) is a incredibly ambitious paddle this early in the season. Gorgeous day on the water though, if very very tiring. I think this was my favorite photo of the day - we'd just gotten to Battery Park, so we were in the home stretch, which was great; there's the Statue of Liberty in the background, and beyond the Sebago paddlers, there's the schooner America 2.0 having a grand sail.

As usual, click on the picture for a bigger view.

Great photo and what looks like a fab (if tiring) paddle!

It was a big chunk to bite off this early in the season, especially after a winter that discouraged paddling. But it was a beautiful day out there - I have a lot more pictures to sort through, but this one just jumped out at me as a good one to start with.

PS clicked it out on Google maps. Don't know how accurate Google maps is but Google maps is claiming 32 miles and change. Woof.
