Bunch of theives. You shouldn't even be on the Hudson the day of the run.

You're not in the run??

Your right, arrest everyone on the water between Liberty Landing Marina and Havestraw that dares be on the water at the same time as the Poker-runners...

Actually the thieves are the guys putting the poker run on,, 200 boats at 550.00 a pop = 110,000 and only a 5K pot... But then again, burgers, hot-dogs and slips cost a lot of money, right ??...

hopefully, there won't be anyone idling in front of the bridge as we go around and in between them at 100-140+mph....
