	*Boating on the Hudson & Beyond* July 2006, "Boating on the Radio is Back!" pg 53 "... PennyBridge Marine has developed a system for installing the very popular Magma Grill on the stern swim platform of yachts they are selling. The Magma Grill installed in this manner can easily be removed while underway. It is far enough away from the boat in case of spills and the most convenient way to grill on a boat. If you are interested in making your boat as complete as possible call Pennybridge Marine at 845-786-5100 for further information or contact them on the web at www.pennybridgemarina.com. ..."

*Rockland Magazine* JULY 2006, pg 62 *Rick Gustavsen & Steve Farkas* *River Entrepreneurs* Rockland natives Rick Gustavsen and Steve Farkas grew up on the Hudson. As teenagers they water skied, swam, and cruised around in Farkas’ 15-foot Glastron boat. That was in the early ’70s, before the boating boom on the river took off, Farkas says. The two met while working at an A&P in New City, and after high school they took jobs with local marinas and boat dealers. In 1981, they bought a business repairing boats, fixing motors, and performing other basic services. Today, at 48, they are still partners and still fascinated by the Hudson, though they’ve seen the area shift quite a bit. “Boating has really taken off,” Farkas says. “When I started, marinas were really just places to dock boats, many were rundown.” Now, he says, they’re geared to boating enthusiasts, people who are eager for communities of other boaters who share their passion. “They hang out at the marinas, have barbeques there,” he says. The partners expanded their business about 11 years ago. From a humble repair shop, they now operate PennyBridge Marina in Stony Point, a 120-slip facility. “Business has been very good,” Farkas says. And if there’s one downside to that success, it means the friends have less time to enjoy their true passion. “When I was younger, almost every day I was out on the water,” he says. “I kind of miss it.” —R.Z.
