Nyack Fire Dept. Braves Hudson During Storm
Volunteer rescue officials checked in on sailboat Tuesday.
No boaters on the Hudson River were injured during Tuesday's high winds and turbulent storms, but volunteers with the Nyack Fire Department were still out on the choppy waters.
Emergency officials checked in on a sailboat off the village's coast at about 6:45 p.m. Tuesday. The boater had not placed a distress signal, but officials investigated to ensure the occupants were safe.
"We took a ride up the Hudson as a precaution," explained fire chief James Petriello. "We wanted to be sure there were no problems."
