island sound sea kayaking seals the sun and the rain kayaking down the hudson from albany to new york city posted on july 14 2011 by johna till johnson 39 comments by johna till johnson photos by vladimir brezina why is camping fun i ve been asked that many times through the years even active tough and healthy people folks who glory in the feel of a strenuous workout often wonder about it hard physical activity is a joy when it s followed by a hot shower a good meal preferably cooked and delivered by someone else and a clean soft safe bed but where s the fun in ending a hard day s workout by erecting a tent attempting to cook dinner bathing if at all in unheated water and attempting to sleep on rocky ground let s not even talk about stinging and biting insects itching poison oak and ivy and the smallish but real risk of being attacked by a wild animal or person why is camping fun it s hardly a rhetorical question when you re standing drenched to the skin watching raindrops bore holes into the curry you re desperately trying to heat over a flickering camping stove your muscles ache but you can t sit because the picnic table and ground are sodden darkness is all around you lit only by the stove and the weak ripple of leds from the camp lamp through the rain behind you the tent is battered by rain rivulets are pooling on the top and running down the sides and you re pretty sure the inside is damp as well and the plummeting raindrops are cooling the curry as fast as you re trying to heat it continue reading 39 comments posted in kayaking nature tagged albany hudson river kayak camping kayak expeditions kayaking new york city rain nyc s toxic waterways trip three the bronx river attempt posted on july 10 2011 by vladimir brezina 14 comments by vladimir brezina and johna till johnson lately we ve developed a fascination with the legendary toxic waterways of new york city previously we ve traversed the gowanus canal and newtown creek both superfund sites on july 2 we decided to explore the mysterious bronx river unlike the other two the bronx river isn t truly toxic in fact by all accounts the river is surprisingly bucolic as it winds under a leafy canopy a narrow green ribbon through the concrete and asphalt of the bronx but it s not particularly paddler friendly photos from bob huszar s pioneering trip show numerous weirs dams and waterfalls paddlers pose with car carcasses half submerged in the river and rafts of floating trash collect behind a skim boom this last feature was one we should have paid more heed to since then the river has apparently been substantially smoothed and civilized the bronx river alliance has worked hard to institutionalize kayaking and canoeing on the river running regular trips and producing a very useful map and paddling guide to the bronx river blueway but the guide still shows three portages some challenging and warns that the water can be very shallow at times paddlers may need to disembark and pull boats for short distances most paddlers come down the river in old beaten up plastic river kayaks or canoes we were headed up the river in our tender sea kayaks his a soft skinned folding kayak hers pampered carbon kevlar how far up the river would be make it through the obstacles not so far as it turned out continue reading 14 comments posted in kayaking new york city tagged bronx river
