Join us for a Hudson River sunset sail on the sloop Clearwater on Friday, October 8, from 6—9pm and help us to launch the Ear to the Earth Festival 2010!




The sloop Clearwater

   

Launched by Pete Seeger in May 1969 to promote the cleanup of the Hudson River, the sloop Clearwater has been sailing up and down the Hudson since then, inviting people to explore the river and fostering environmental education.

Ear to the Earth Festival 2010
Schedule of Events

 

To see the Hudson River shores from the water is not only a beautiful experience, it also reminds us that New York is a coastal city, connected to the oceans of the world, and that the Hudson is one of the world's great rivers with a great heritage.

We're going to make a field recording of the trip. To hear the sounds of the boat and the water as we record them, and to receive a souvenir CD, will give you a closer sense of relationship with the river.

Dave Conover, Clearwater's education director, will speak about the sloop Clearwater and the historic Hudson River School. We'll serve soft drinks, wine and hors d'oeuvre. And if you'd like to record your environment, we'll help you make your own field recordings and present them on our website.

The sail is from 6 to 9pm, Friday, October 8. The boat will sail from the 79th Street Boat Basin in Manhattan (79th Street on the Hudson River).
