boating on the Yamuna?

Hi
I'll be in Delhi in a few weeks, getting a reservation at Wongdhen House (just hope it's not torn down by then...) and
I'm wondering if there are any boats one can get on going down the Yamuna for transportation/sightseeing/what have you?
Cheers

You may find some boats near Nigam Bodh ghat. Te river isn't very clean though.

hmm, I'll have to check that out then. I don't mind dirty rivers, as long as the water stays out of the boat!

The water will stay out but the stink may not.
