I went for the first time last night. It was magical! So beautiful on the water at night. Everyone was friendly and all of the guests got a chance to steer the rudder. I will be back!
On Wednesday Oct 2 at 6.30PM I went sailing on the Hudson with a group of my friends. I have pleasant impressions and memories of this voyage and the crew of this wooden sailboat. Very nice people who preserve the history and culture of the region. But the big surprise for me is that the whole crew does all this work absolutely voluntarily. I encourage all visitors to make a small donation on their website.
I was lucky enough to sail on the Sloop Woody in 2012. It was amazing,beautiful,and one of my fondest memories of that visit. Hoping to be able to share the experience with friends this year. Make the time-you’ll not be disappointed.
These folks do at least three seasonal festival every year: Strawberry, Corn, and Pumpkin. An amazing amount of work and it is free - just like the sails they offer on the Woody Guthrie, a ferry sloop. They carry on Pete Seeger's vision. Bring people to the River and they will love it and take care of it. And they are a Sloop Club, not a yacht club!
