The game is to survive the mobs that show up every weekend looking for their free kayak trip in the embayment or to the Statue of Liberty. More and more, old timers, regulars at the Boathouse, are dropping out, leaving a hardcore but diminishing group of volunteers still hanging around to work with the crowds. I ran into one of the oldtime regulars near West Point yesterday. I mentioned the Boathouse scene and he cringed. He now lives upstate and is happy to be away from that downtown scene. Maybe this isn't the type of survivor game that you had in mind, Jackie. No prize, no rules. But, believe me, it is a survival game. ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
