IMAGES OF THE EXPEDITION – Albany Yacht Club

Ed Larvia is the Dockmaster at the Albany Yacht Club. I was in contact with him several months before we arrived to begin the expedition. He helped us arrange tow truck and hoisting services to unload the gondola, gave us a place to park our gondola and chase boat, let us store our seats, chairs and other stuff for a week in his office, and not once did he complain.

His hospitality was exemplary.

I would like to do this expedition again one day, and this is due in part to folks like Ed.
As if the Dockmaster hadn’t done enough for us, right before we pushed off for our trip down-river, he came out with six crisp white polo shirts, each with the yacht club emblem. The photos in this post were taken at that moment.
