Sloop Clearwater: Sailing on the Hudson River
Posted by Ed in Amateur Radio, Photography & Images, Recumbent Bicycling on 15-May-2012
Back in the old days, the Hudson was clogged with sailing ships; now only a few carefully tended reproductions remain:

That’s the Sloop Clearwater as seen from the middle of the Poughkeepsie Bridge on an overcast day that brings out the vignetting in the long telephoto image.
A bit earlier I was westbound on the Walkway Over the Hudson while the Clearwater was headed northbound:

Turns out they carry a GPS tracker (accessible from a link on their site):

It was a fine day for a ride (or a sail) before the storm!
