Governor Andrew Cuomo cruised into the Javits Center this afternoon, speaking at a brief opening ceremony for the annual boat show.  Cuomo, a self-described enthusiastic boater and fisherman, is a regular at the boat show.

Cuomo’s brief remarks touched on his own love of boating, with a few cracks about hosting his daughters’ dates on boat trips and his brother Chris’s fishing skills.  He also spoke of the economic contributions of the boating industry.  Cuomo did not take any press questions, going on a “private tour” of the boat show immediately after the opening ceremony.  Notwithstanding that the boat show was open to the public, Cuomo’s staff sought to prevent members of the press from accompanying him as he walked the floor.
