My trip up the Hudson on the beautiful yacht with the welcoming crew was even more wonderful than I had expected. Led by Doug Fox, whose knowledge of architecture and climate change was conveyed to all on board through informative talks as we cruised by places of interest, the day was truly exceptionable. NYC buildings and bridges along the Hudson are visually more exciting and meaningful to me now as a result. Thank you, Classic Harbor Line, for a super tour!
