Irene on the Hudson

I put a video up here that shows a debris line on the Hudson by Haverstraw.  I would expect some nasty currents tonight since we will be out in the max ebb and the flooding will contribute to the southbound current.  With light winds, the current could be strong enough to prevent any northerly progress under sail alone.  Hopefully a nice southerly will fill in and save the race.

In other news, one of the marina's biggest boats, On Your Mark, burned this morning.  I am sure that will make the harbor a bit nasty with fuel and all.  Hopefully the boats on the north end can get out.  Click here to read more.  The boat was listed for sale.  You can read the comments on the article for the conspiracy theories.  It appears no one was hurt.

Should be an interesting night all around.
