3/8/2014 – Ice Boating on the Hudson

Winter continues with extremely cold weather. The Hudson has been frozen to such a thickness that the ice boats have been dragged out. Our friend Paul Stewart who has an iceboat of his own alerted us to this rare gathering. We went for a walk on the river down the river off 9H in Barrytown, maybe a half mile north of the Kingston Rhinecliff Bridge. Dave Drake went with us. The Hudson River Ice Yacht Club has been around since 1885.
