Thanks to a friends birthday and John Vargo, publisher of Boating On The Hudson & Beyond Magazine, I recently had a beautiful, magical and unexpected boating experience!
An environmental artist and friend of mine envisioned celebrating her 70th birthday sailing on the Hudson River. She described her dream with a small, (20-ish) group of environmentally concerned friends. Her intent was that all her friends could be together in one boat and that the party and transportation be as low impact to the environment as possible.
