I did the Farmindale – (Long Island not above 500”) - Verrazano Narrows bridge - North up the Hudson River then back to Farmingdale with a friend at the beginning of April.

Fascinating trip, but I had to question what would happen in the event of an engine failure.

No doubt we would get wet, but from the top end of Manhattan back to Farmindale, we had few options.

One part of me is saying Wow - really fantastic trip, the other, where’s the life jacket etc.

Interesting comparison to the Lea Valley trip (thread - Transit London/City CTR )

Do the Americans have an equivalent of Rule 5(1)(a)(i) (the alight clear requirement)?

Whatever you decide, it is a memorable trip.
