    Hubby and I had a great cruise. The staff were amazing. Bird was such an impressive young man…read more Captain was great. He warned us that it was going to be cool and very windy coming back and he was right! Brrrr!!

It was nice to see a crew member asking people if they wanted their photo taken. At the beginning of the cruise, the captain explained all the safety rules (included Life jackets, no smoking and more) along with the upcoming wonderful views. Lots of history along the Hudson River. The Ogden Mills House was one of the historic homes along the Hudson. Hope you enjoy the photo. We viewed other historic homes, ships and lighthouses. Viewing the fall foliage on the cruise was magical experience. Great bar aboard the Rip Van Winkle. The friendly bartender served me up a super delicious Strawberry Daiquiri. My friend had a Von Trapp Beer. Hot dogs, chips and big pretzels were sold too. Looks like the pretzels were a big hit because they were sold out very quickly. Restrooms are located on the lower level of the ship. There's a small parking lot available. However, there's lots of metered parking within steps of the cruise line. Best bet is to arrive to ensure your parking spot!

    We went on a sail aboard the Clearwater and had a lovely time. The boat was conveniently docked by…read morethe Boat Basin on the upper west side. It's an all wood vessel designed after the old sailing sloops. And I must say it's a very good-looking vessel. The crew, which was made up of almost all volunteers, were great and very personable. As part of the trip, we all got to help hoist the sail which was quite the experience. It actually takes a lot of work and people to hoist this massive sail. We sailed in the evening and got to watch the sun set over the city. We were lucky that there was enough wind to get us moving but not too windy that it made the sail rough. We had a such a great time and wished that the sail was longer!

    I stumbled upon the Hudson River Sloop, a small 18th/19th century replica boat made by Peter Seeger…read morein the late 1960's to help draw attention to the worsening conditions of the Hudson River by playing music and focusing on improving the rivers ecosystem as a whole, a blueprint other conservation groups have followed. The sloop was hanging out by the Boat Basin off Riverside Park when I wandered in and got to speak to some of the volunteers who work there. They do school tours regularly, but also have tours open to the public and can be hired out for private events. The really cool part is not only do they offer the option to volunteer on the boat, but even if you're paying for a tour you get to actively participate in the actual sailing of the vessel, which takes a lot of work! It's a really unique experience, especially in this city where not many of us really get to interact with boats, much less understand how an older replica like this actually functions. I also got to see and pet some of the wildlife that live in the Hudson, among them a clam. eel, and a little bottom feeder whose name I can't remember. See picture ;)
