Your lake is dropping and I'm draining water out of the pool twice a week, weird weather this year for sure.

This was the run last fall, it was pretty bad as it usually is after a storm. I the spring it was really clean, a few tires floating in the Harlem river but thats about it. Its weird running the boat with the South Bronx on one side and Harlem on the other, you do get the looks.

Did not see any of the races last year we ran down there on Sunday Sept 11

Bad azz pics! Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't there a pokerrun on the E coast that went through D.C.? I thought I saw pics before with the buildings in the background. Is NY easy to access and navigate? Might make for a good destination next season.

Not hard, we usually launch about 40 miles up river (Hudson) and run down. There is a huge marina with a ramp and plenty of parking. We actually landed a chopper there last fall. The Hudson is very deep and marked, there is a lot of commercial traffic so you need to be aware of it and also for rouge wakes. We usually do a spring run to the city and then a fall run up the river to Kingston.

The summer was late arriving here. And on our third day out, cracked a piston, tore up a cylinder, and I have another 5 days till my block is back from the machine shop. So I guess I'm saving on gas money. Boo hooo
