We’ve always known that The Wilcha was an inveterate shutterbug, and he proves it once again by sending in the following shots. For those of you who don’t remember, these photos were taken on a windy boat trip last May, on the day before G. Ehrlich’s wedding. Though a gorgeous spring day on shore, it was a bit windy out on the Hudson, and the cold is reflected in our sometimes pained expressions.

In addition, the ride turned out to be a weird tour-of-horror, narrated by one of the most depressing (and unintentionally hilarious) guides we’ve ever encountered. Reading between the lines of his deadpan, Steven Wright-ish monologue, you could hear how much he relished the grisly details with which he felt obliged to regale us. In addition to recounting the burning of The General Slocum in 1904—a disaster which killed over 1,000 people and effectively wiped out New York’s Little Germantown—and dwelling in inappropriate detail on the World Trade Center attacks, he told some insane story of a woman who was in an elevator in the Empire State Building when it was hit by a B-25 bomber during the war. She fell something like 80 flights and survived, eventually marrying the fireman who rescued her. If we recall correctly, the guide couldn't resist finishing the story with the information that both lived into their 80s but eventually succumbed to disease—cancer in the case of the husband, pneumonia in the case of the wife. Hope you enjoyed the tour and have a wonderful day.

There was a lot of wind...

Almost too much...

Some of us had to wear shades...

But we had a good time nonetheless.

The sky above him...

And the sea below.
