I'm fighting the good fight here, raging against the end of summer... I'm not a country club / yacht club member locally, but I'm wondering where a recovering small boat sailor might be able to rent a Sunfish or a Laser to get an end of summer sailing fix? Bonus points given for smaller lakes.

Got a suggestion for Greg? Please share!

Check out Camp Little Notch-- not quite a 'rental', but a great community with a wonderful wilderness.. including sunfish for the 80 acre privately owned lake.

Try Great Lake Sacandaga. It's a big lake and has plenty of wind for sailboats. There's several free municipal boat launches around the lake, no need to pay.

Albany tightened its rules for shoveling snowy sidewalks last winter -- so how'd that work out?

If winter ever gets its act together and drops more snow on us, there will be sidewalks to shovel. And shortly after that, Albany will... (more)
