GL: New York city anchorages

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

Hi  Sue,
 
Unfortunately,  at Liberty Landing, the holding is poor and the bottom foul. 
We used  to anchor there but then dragged one day when the wind piped up to 
20-25 from  the SE We  were about to depart when we hooked something solid, so 
we stayed. Next morning  we heaved anchor to find we had snagged an old 
electric cable!
 
Since  then we have stayed at 79th St on the outside of the wave wall (have a 
lot of  fenders!) but probably wouldn't repeat that. 30 bucks for a ball in 
NYC  is not a bad deal!
 
Now  our preference is to stop at Atlantic Highlands and anchor behind the 
breakwall.  It's easy to reach Haverstraw next day before dark. Another day to 
Catskill  and go right up the creek to Hop-O-Nose to get the mast down. Be sure 
to call  ahead as they are quite busy. Also, don't go on Monday or you'll  
miss eating at the Creekside restaurant. Leave there next morning and it's  an 
easy day to Waterford. We go north to Champlain and usually tie to the wall  at 
Mechanicville before dark and Whitehall the next.  
 
Regards,
