You will have to watch for debris very diligently. Also, note that the ferry boats go a lot faster than they look!

See you there! We will be pulling in, late Saturday night. Save us some beer if you will.

Taken from CBS Website:

() - The owner of the Albany Yacht Club in Rensselaer tells CBS 6 News he will be closed for the rest of the season. Just before noon on Thursday, the club's dock, on the Hudson River, broke free and drifted downstream in the fast-moving waters of the Hudson River. Attached to the dock: millions of dollars in luxury yachts. Crews are frantically working right now to capture the yachts as the float freely down the river. A gas pump attached to the dock also broke free. Marci Natale will remain at the Yacht Club to bring you live reports tonight starting at 5 on CBS 6 News.

Don't drink the water.
See you there.
