I went once with some friends - we went to visit the Hudson River Ice Yacht Club and had a fantastic day. It's tough here on the Hudson because getting the kind of ice that's good is a rarity but we had an absolutely splendid day up there. I took my camera, got a bit silly afterwards and made my own little music video!
THAT looks insane! Your friend Jeff deserves mad props. I, like Alex, despise chills and ice (it is quite literally, terrifying for me to contemplate doing what Jeff does) but I can appreciate people who have the balls to do these things. Amazing video!

Beautiful video Bonnie! Such stunning old wooden ice boats, looks like the video was made fifty years ago.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. There's a wonderful history of ice yachting here on the Hudson River and the members of the Hudson River Ice Yacht Club (our wonderful hosts that day) probably spend more time tracking down (that's not easy, over time pieces of the old yachts ended up getting deposited in various barns and attics and just collecting enough pieces of a given boat to proceed is a triumph) and preserving these handsome craft than they spend actually sailing them.
