This is the final video of Saugerties. It is of us taking off from Saugerties and hauling linen by bicycle. It also has a bit of Kingston, another beautiful city in New York.
The video is about four and a half minutes long.

This is the second video of Saugerties. It is of sailing and dinner. It features Dan Potthast on the soundtrack along with a victrola. Note the adjustment from city clothes to river clothes. I lost the dress shirt, rolled up the dress pants and went barefoot.
The video is about three and a half minutes long

Yes, yes, I do have more videos from my vacation. I did lose a couple of videos from Philly that I am not going to redo- one from WXPN and another on food. My hard drive crapped out and I got a new one, but I have re-learned the importance of backing up. I am really doing these videos for practice, for I have gotten a contract to do some work that includes videos. I will go into that more later.
This is the first of three on Saugerties. I stayed with my old friend Patrick at the lighthouse where he is the keeper. It is on the Hudson and is a historic rehabbed lighthouse and bed and breakfast which he runs. The history of the lighthouse is fascinating. It is very raw. The lighthouse only has a very small amount of power from outside the house, and that is from cables that are laid back in the 1920s in the river. It can only power maybe a dozen high efficiency lights and a few small appliances. All the water is from the cisterns on the roof, so conservation is very necessary.
The piece after this is sailing and eating. The third is on rafting, hauling linen on bikes and Kingston. I think they are pretty fun. I hope you enjoy the music. This one has our good friend Pokey LaFarge on the soundtrack. The video is approximately four and a half minutes long.

My old chum and fellow adventurer Patrick Landewe, aka Huck Finn made the NY Times in the Saugerties Lighthouse. It is a nice spread. I will post up my vid from the lighthouse this month sometime.
