For those who might be interested, but have not heard, 2009 is the Quadracentennial Celebration of Henry Hudson's discovery of the Hudson River. A replica of the Half Moon will sail from New York Harbor to Albany in June, 2009. It will be accompanied by other replicated wooden boats such as the Clearwater Sloop, Arlowe (not sure of the spelling) Guthrie and the Onrust. They will make ports of call all along the river and will pick up local escorts representing different boat/yacht clubs in each stretch. if you are interested in more information, check out www.exploreny400.com
