Veteran Maid of the Mist pilot departs

    From the Buffalo News:

    Tourists on the deck of the Maid of the Mist get wetter the closer the boat inches to the Horseshoe Falls. There’s a cold wind blowing.

    But it’s warm and dry in the wheelhouse. Captain Richard Schuyler has spent 32 years there, piloting Maid of the Mist tour boats.

    “I like my job, but I’ve been down here half my life,” he said last week, as he steered the fleet’s flagship vessel toward the wall of water. “It’s time to do something different.”
