[Paddlewise] nykayakers

Hi folks,

i will be in the ny/long island area in a week or so.  There is lots of
open water, but also a great deal of motor boat traffic in most places in
that region. I have two questions for my fellow paddlers.  
first, are there any decent stretches of paddling left in the eastern end
of long island that are not over developed or over-run by motor boats?

Second, i have heard that there is a group that paddles out to the Statue
of Liberty every weekend.  how can i get in touch with them and arrange to
join them?
I'm a strong paddler and have dreamt of doing a trip like this.  I just
don't relish the thought of doing it alone.

Thanks,
bill oetjen
