Tweaking the Dragon
It’s been a while since I’ve paddled with Gene, but he remains one of my favorite partners.

The Great Hudson River Paddle, a 150-mile-long trip from Albany to the Big Apple inaugurated in 2001 to draw attention to the river’s vibrant water trail, had a surprise participant this year.
