GL: NYC and the Hudson

[Seasalt007 at aol.com]

You are right about the rolly marinas. A couple of years ago we had
reservations for Liberty Landing but arrived early so ended up staying two
miserable
days in Lincoln Harbor in Weehawken. Lincoln is in a much better  neighborhood
but the marina will make you sea sick. Most people stay off their  boats
until the ferrys calm down.

As far  as NYC goes, in order to enjoy it the most, do not stay anywhere but
Liberty  Landing Marina on the NJ side, right behind the statue of liberty.? A
little  pricey, but if you want to spend a few days and tour the city, this
is the  only place you will have comfort, all the other marinas are very rolly
from  all the ferry wakes, where you can't even stay on your boat until 8pm
and  starts up again at 6am.? It is a beautiful park with great views of the
city.?  There is an inexpensive water taxi that goes back and forth to NYC and
Jersey  City every hour or so.? Once you get to the city, there is plenty of
public  transportation, taxis, etc.?

As far as the rest of the Hudson goes, we  stayed at Haverstraw after
Manhattan, then Kingston, then Troy, Waterford, and  picked up the erie from
there.?
Be sure you have an updated cruising guide for  the Erie, since much has
changed since the flooding in  06.
