Charlie and Tom of a Sunsation Dealer called Mahopac Marine of Mahopac New York had planned an early Spring get together on the Hudson River to kick off the 2009 boating season in the Northeast.
With threatening forecasts of wet weather for the entire weekend I am sure it kept some people on their trailers.
As I drove towards New York I was hitting some heavy rain at 5 AM. All I could count on was my prayers for a window of opportunity to get through this day with some over cast.
By the time we all made it to the water the rain tapered off. With a few phone calls up north and to the south, we had good news and bad news. The sun was breaking out in Newburgh and a clearing in the sky was making it's way south. South of us towards NY City was still down pouring rain.
So we made a decision to run north towards the sunny weather and then follow it down to NY Harbor. As we came upon the Tappan Zee Bridge on the way back south, we all stopped in at a waterfront restuarant for a bite to eat. From there, we fueled up and headed for the big water along side NY City. Plenty of air time was had by all that were tempted to come down that far. As we made our way back to the ramp the sun began to set.
We were not only spared the rain and the thunderstorms, but we had sun most of the day and were blessed with a nice sunset over Bear Mountain...
I personally would like to thank Charlie and Tom of Mahopac Marine for getting everyone out on their boats early in the season. It kept many people from waiting for the actual warm weather to hit before working on their boats.
I huge thank you as well for inviting Sharkey-Images to come shoot the event for them as well as Performance Boats Magazine.
