I can't believe I haven't updated this blog for so long--but I'm thinking I'm going to start again. This past Sunday, I paddled a kayak with friends from the Long Island City Community Boathouse from the Whitestone Bridge and through the Throgs Neck across Long Island Sound to City Island! We had lunch at the City Island Yacht Club and then paddled around the island (or as we say, circumnavigated it!) and briefly visited some other small islands before working our way back to Francis Lewis Park and, eventually, the boathouse. The scenery was fantastic, and I'll post some photos of what we saw on our adventure. First, the beautiful Whitestone, then the majestic Throgs Neck, and the wonderful Stepping Stones Lighthouse, plus Chimney Sweep and Rat Islands! Exhausted but happy at the end!
