GL: NYC and the Hudson

[Ralph Yost]

I used to anchor in Horseshoe Cove behind Sandy Hook NJ, then next
morning depart to make way through New York City....but this was never
to stop in NYC, only to get through it. Watch the tides/currents. The
Verrazano Narrows has strong current, as does the current around the tip
of Sandy Hook.

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.
