Hi, just want to say thanks again for the amazing content! You've inspired me to explore the Bronx in my own way, which would be cycling through the many miles of bike routes. Very nice to see your videos then explore the same areas but on land, gives a diffrent and better perspective.

[@TwoFeetOutdoors]

This is so AMAZING!! To me, that's exactly what it's all about. Getting out there and exploring in our own way brings more happiness to our lives. Thank you for commenting and telling me this. It means a lot to me. A lot of NYC folks who watch my videos don't kayak but love to see the different perspectives in my videos. Thank you soooo much!! I really appreciate you watching and commenting. I look forward to hearing more about your adventures.

How does Middle Rock not have a buoy or some kind of marking device? Seems like a very dangerous navigation hazard, especially to the uninformed. Also, there was some incredible infrastructure all around you on that trip. Thanks so much for sharing...

[@TwoFeetOutdoors]

@@JohnCompton1 I'm guessing because it's not in the channel but I could see a small boat or jet ski smashing it not knowing it's there. I was a little nervous getting close because I could see additional rock formations below the water. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.

[@nevingussack2410]

The channel is well marked with two green can buoys and a light buoy which guides vessels away from Middle Rock. Plus it’s also on Chart 12366. Commercial vessels use the Hutchinson River so they know the waterway pretty well.

I was looking behind me initially when I was starting to say that, so I meant behind me off in the Long Island Sound. I'm def familiar with the Throgs Neck Bridge. It's where the video was taken on the final clip of the end of the video. I believe if you look closely at the clip before, I say that, you can make it out on the far low right side of the video.

[@PhyllisJerry]

Some background on Co-Op City for you: it’s the single largest apartment complex in NYC, with something like 200,000 residents IIRC. It was conceived by (in)famous urban planner Robert Moses in the 1960s and is built on the site of an old amusement park. It basically is a mini-city built from scratch, with a shopping mall, school and other services all onsite-even its own dedicated power plant (which apparently smells like maple syrup). “Co-op” refers to the ownership structure-rather than buying an apartment outright, like a condo, you buy a share of stock in the company that owns the complex, which entitles you to occupy an apartment in the building. Co-op apartments are pretty common in NYC, but I’m not sure if it’s a thing in other cities.

@@TwoFeetOutdoors Did you notice a wooden pontoon boat with weeds growing through it on the northern bank of the river?

[@thereddstormproject1954]

HEY. THERE IS A PARK CALLED GLEN ISLAND IN NEW ROCHELLE. THERE IS AN ISLAND RIGHT ACROSS FROM IT THAT THEY SAY SOME PEOPLE LIVE IN IT!?..MAYBE CHECK THAT OUT?

Hey go to pelham to glen island beach area

Im surprised you havent found any indian artifacts and arrowheads walking the shores...

Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Sometimes, I should slow down and look around more. Thank you for the reminder.

[@Hotters9060]

Are you going to go to the Eastchester Bay and also Long Island Sound which are larger bodies of water???

[@TwoFeetOutdoors]

I do tend to avoid large open bodies of water for 2 reasons. One is safety, and two, I believe it's less scenery for the viewer. With that said, I'm always going to be exploring more and want to see more of Eastchester Bay, City Island, and areas along the Long Island Sound. I don't like heavy boating or shipping areas. There are some cool islands off New Rochelle, too. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.

@@TwoFeetOutdoors It is never safe to ride a Kayak in large bodies of water. It is only for big ships or boats.

Maybe if you had a metal detector you would have more content.

[@TwoFeetOutdoors]

I actually recently bought a magnet for magnet fishing. The spot I launched would have been a good sport to magnet fish. 🧲 I totally forgot to bring it because it's so new and I'm not used to bringing it on these trips.

Hey Matt, since you asked. I think a Letch State Park, NY video would be good. I hear its beautiful with waterfalls. Thanks for videos, "If you make them, they will watch." 😀

I’m sure you’re experienced enough to go through hell gate. I’d love to see how that is if you’re able to do so, but would never want you to risk your life for a video.

[@TwoFeetOutdoors]

@@Kidney7661 My prior two videos were on parts of the East River. I don't love it. I'll pass on Hell Gate specifically. ☠️💀

[@Kidney7661]

@@TwoFeetOutdoors I don’t blame you. It’s great to watch from shore. Probably not so great to be in the middle of it.

How do you get back when you reach your destination?

In this paddle, I started and finished in the same location. I have, however, taken an Uber back during single direction paddles.
