Hi,
I just bought a kayak and I live in Port Chester, NY (one town south
of Greenwich, CT in the Long Island Sound). I have been
trying for the last few days to find a launch site to put the kayak in
LI Sound. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks,

Christos

ConnYak (Connecticut Sea Kayakers) has a whole list of Connecticut launching
sites on their web page. Or, if you have a Westchester County pass (I think
they may be checking now) you can launch from Glen Island Park in New
Rochelle. Fee for car topped boats (kayaks for example) is $4. I'll be
going out of there later this a.m. There's also a site on the Hudson in
Yonkers in the riverside park that abuts the Hudson River Museum. Fee there
is, I think, $5. I scoped it out the other day but haven't taken the yak
over to it yet.

Thanks Alan! I did some futher research on the web and came across the
Harbor Island Park in Mamaroneck, NY. I am not sure whether there is a
fee for non-residents launching a kayak from there. Also the folks at
the Small Boat Shop (http://www.thesmallboatshop.com/) are a good
source of information about launching sites.

Does anyone know if there is a group of kayakers like Connyak
(http://www.connyak.org/) but in Westchester? I would be interested to
come in touch with them.

Thanks,

Christos
