When I first came to Poughkeepsie, the work of the Clearwater was underway. I got to take an outing or two on the boat from which the beauty of the river is revealed. Since then, I have swum across the Hudson, jumping in at Newburgh to Pete Seeger and his banjo. In 2020 I started rowing on the Hudson and its beauty can't be more immediate than it is from a racing shell.
Donate to support my Paddle for our Hudson fundraiser to support Hudson River Sloop Clearwater in their efforts to steward an intergenerational community of Hudson River advocates through education, music, sailing, and advocacy.
