A tug boat that sank during this weekend's windy weather is now out of the Hudson River.
Officials say the boat, which was being used to work on the new Tappan Zee Bridge project, went under because of winds gusting up to 55 mph and swells reaching seven to eight feet.
No one was on board at the time. It was docked near a marina in Upper Nyack.
Tappan Zee Constructors says it worked closely with the Coast Guard to recover the boat quickly.
