Sailing Update - Thursday

Got down to the ice at Astor Point at dusk. Wind was howling and there were on and off snow squalls. Just left a dusting of snow. It was bitter. Still, Logan & I ran out to see what boats were out:
Jack Frost, Ice Queen, Ariel
Vixen, Hound, Orion
Reindeer, Rip Van Winkle ( 2 Rokeby boats, Rip is almost 40' long, Reindeer about 25')
John Henry  has his Nite ColdFront.
Doc Shuter & Patrick L. have Dns which they sailed today.
I think I'm forgetting one or two.
Red Bank boats are to arrive Friday.

There is a plan to meet at Tivoli South Bay at 4pm Friday to carry the fleet of 4 stern steerers over the tracks and onto the River. Join us if you can to help with the effort.

Regarding access - Club member Glen Burger has been making informative videos on sailing the river.    His most recent Video  describes conditions wonderfully and he also utilizes Google Earth to show you how to get onto the ice at Barrytown.  Note that you can also stay on  Barrytown road driving past Barrytown College and park down where the road dead ends at the RR tracks (you'll be just past the Red Hook Boat Club) there is a path to the ice just off of Steamboat Lane (before the boat club)
