Agreed. We New Englanders consider a cross-country US trip starting in
New York a bit abbreviated as well.

Yes, I would imagine so too. But in this case, one and a half time
zones have been left out! Terry Fox knew where to start his
cross-Canada trip..St. John's Nfld. I do admit though, that beginning
a paddle trip in Newfoundland would be very problematic. As far as I
know, there's only been one successful NS to NFLD paddle crossing,
that having been done this summer past by a 60+ year old man who not
only went solo, but told no one he was doing it. Yow.

The Boston area has had a bit of an issue with New York City, back at
least as far as 1918. A certain group of professional athletes with
crimson leggings.

That crossing would seem to be about 100 miles at the shortest. Since
the tide in that area are significant, I would guess that the currents
are as well. Even summer water temps would be in the "hypothermia and
unconscious in ten minutes" range.

If that guy had told anyone, they would have had him locked away for
his own good, I would think.

Happy trails,
