“I am a proponent of highly walkable, human scale places in America.” Jared and Jerry Rodriguez, father and son, stopped by the boat to share stories with us. Both were a treasure trove of local history and, in fact, Jared gives long history walks in Haverstraw. Jerry recalled during his time in the Sea Scouts that he noticed a red buoy on their right just before they grounded the boat and destroyed the props. “They were nice guys, but not very good navigators.” #shantyboat #collectedstories #seascouts #haverstraw #hudsonriver
