6/26/2008:
Last year, Hoboken was treated to multiple “free kayaking days” over near Sinatra Park.
This year, we start out with one over at Hoboken’s single beach near the Maxwell Place Cove Boathouse.
Free Kayaking Day - July 6th
“Please join the Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse (HCCB) for our first Summer 2008 Family Kayaking Program at the Maxwell Place Park beach on July 6th from 10AM-1PM. This free kayaking program – normally held at Frank Sinatra Park – is moving locations this summer due to the ongoing construction of Pier C.
HCCB has sponsored free kayaking in Hoboken for the past five years, and we are excited to continue to offer our program in a new location this summer. Kayaking Days offer a unique opportunity for Hoboken residents and visitors to experience the city from the Hudson River.
Kayaking Days are free, open to all, and require no reservations. HCCB is currently supported by voluntary help and borrowed kayaks and equipment from the Downtown Boathouse in Manhattan. Trained kayakers will be hand to provide tips for new paddlers.
If you have any questions regarding the July 6th program date or HCCB, please visit www.hobokencoveboathouse.org or email info@hobokencoveboathouse.org.
HCCB looks forward to seeing you out on the Hudson River this summer!

Listen to this advice. There are a couple interesting trips to do, and their suitability depends on the tide. You can also launch under the GW Bridge on the Jersey side, paddle over to the NY side, down by the Intrepid, then back across to Sinatra park. I’ve done that one and it is a lot of fun.
The one I really want to do is paddle from Hoboken to and around the Statue of Liberty and back. Problem is that if you get the tides wrong you could end up in serious trouble and not able to make it back. Floating away in the Atlantic and not able to make it home would be really bad.

i personally took down 10 signs today that we posted to promote the kayaking day, including the ones we put on bulletin boards between 6th and 1st St. Many of those I posted 2-3 times since they were removed (illegally?) within 24 hours of the time i posted them.
perhaps those leaflet-monitor-ers should spend more time monitoring the $11 million in quarters that fell out of the trunk of the Mayor’s mercedes between city hall and mantoloking last fiscal year. Or maybe he hid them in his tummy.
