Rolling' On the River Maybe you've been on one of those Hudson River tour boats, but you haven't been on a cruise like this one. This week Captains Choice, LLC of Rensselaer launches the Wofford, a classic 1940s wooden tour boat that can carry up to 49 passengers on intimate trips along the river and State Canal system. Captain Steve Barrows says,"We want folks to relax while listening to live music, sip a favorite wine and take in the sights along our historic waterways." The Wofford was built in 1941 and served for years in the waters of southern Florida and the Everglades. For information and booking a cruise, go to their web site, www.CaptainsChoiceNY.com or call 518-470-4666.           We Want to Hear From You! Hey 518, we want to hear from you!
