The iceboaters weren’t the only ones enjoying the ice on the river this weekend. Lots of people came out to skate and play hockey. They were also plenty of dog walkers.<\/span>\"\"<\/a> I watched this pair for half an hour or so – laughing the whole time. Each started out with some trepidation when first on the ice.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ice at shore was getting soft by late this afternoon, but that didn’t stop some fools with baby carriages (can you imagine!) from going for a stroll on the ice.<\/p>\n

I also went today to a *Seal Walk* out at Sandy Hook, but that was a total bust; there was a huge turnout – must have been at least a hundred people – but no seals. I’ll keep my eye out for them and hopefully will spot a few one of these days.<\/p><\/div>\n
