Update:An Update on our current happenings. When And If is snugly anchored off Julius Petersen's boatyard http://www.juliuspetersen.com in Nyack, NY. We are surrounded by lovely green rock faces and tidal flowing waters. It has been raining or nearly raining everyday, but we are still managing to have fun aboard the good ship and have some great sails.
It's an exciting time on the Hudson River right now. The beginning of summer mixed with the River's 400th birthday. The Quadricentennial, as it's called, marks the 400th anniversary of the first European expedition to sail up the river led by English Captain Henry Hudson. Nyack was host to a very special event, A flotilla of boats from Manhattan to Albany, led by the Hudson's own S/V Clearwater, www.clearwater.org, and joined by S/V Onrust, S/V Woody Guthrie, and the Mystic Whaler. Get more information and check out a list of other Quadricentennial events at http://exploreny400.com/Home.aspx. If you live in the area, its definately worth checking out something!!
