Sloop Clearwater: Sailing on the Hudson River

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):

So do I:

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