I hate him.
No, not really. Just furiously jealous. I'll be watching the video as soon as I'm home.
Richard had the most wonderful idea for how I could accomplish my pipe dream of paddling the Hudson without having to rent a car & drive myself to Troy one time; he said that in the spring, when sailboats start heading north to Champlain, they can frequently use an extra pair of hands to help out with unstepping & restepping the mast at the bridge. So, I hitch a ride for myself & my kayak at 79th street, I make myself useful for the trip north, and then in Troy they drop me in the river (and if I've been useful enough they throw my kayak & my gear in too) and then all I have to do is get back to NYC!
Unfortunately that would involve taking however many days it would take, and being able to do that with a day's notice if I'm lucky, right in the middle of budget season.
Nice pipe dream, though.
