What started as one man's quixotic dream has turned to reality. For the past three years, the 65-foot Schooner Apollonia has been delivering goods up and down the Hudson River by sail sans fossils fuels - a throwback to a day when there were 1200 such boats on the river each day. It turns out buyers prefer the non-polluting, anti-Amazon way of making deliveries.
