    Anyone on the hudson?

    YP Hudson trip
    This is what I was doing last weekend. We hit up Fort Montgomery, West Point, and a few other cool places. Check the photos. Some interesting things happened while we were there. We lost the starboard generator and the steering gear had problems on the way back. Surprisingly enough, out of everyone on the boat, I was the one to find the problem on the generator. The steering gear is still not functional. Who knows, I might be an engineer yet. Things are starting to get interesting here.

    Nice Photos!! Keep up the good work in finding the problems. I STILL use the same technique I learned in school, and it's been about 35 years now. I am now doing computers and electronics, but I use the same skills I learned in auto mechanic classes.
