Outing: Daylight Savings Time on Governors Island
March 14, 2026 9:45am to 1:00pm
Meet @ 9:45 on 3/14 inside the Governor’s Island Ferry Terminal at 10 South StSlip 7, New York, NY 10004. It’s near the heliport, just a minute north of the South Ferry. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, N, R and W trains are nearby. We’ll aim for the 10:00 am ferry which is free (as of this writing).
We’ll take a short ferry ride to a 172 acre island located a few hundred yards off lower Manhattan to walk Governors Island. The walk will take us through natural areas, along former Coast Guard housing, and up a very small (70’) hill to great views of the Lower Harbor. Good chances for bird spotting and public arts too. Maybe even a cruise ship sighting at the Brooklyn Terminal across Buttermilk Channel.
About 4 miles, wear walking shoes and warm layers. Extreme cold and or heavy rain cancels. Bring snacks as there might be just a few vendors open at this time of the season.
