Would you like to join the Beacon Sloop Club?" Pete Seeger, that humble but great activist, musician, and husband of the great organizer Toshi Seeger, explained that the Sloop Club costs next to nothing to join, and was dedicated to the health of Beacon Harbor and the Hudson River. They are but one local arm of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, a great advocate for the whole Hudson River system and the sustainability of Mother Earth. Come join us at the river!
