We're taking our boat from Newport to the Chesapeake this summer and plan to spend time in New York during July. We've never been there by boat and anyway don't know NY at all so could do with some advice.

Should I book a marina slip? If so, could you recommend one/some? If I just show up in New York, would I be able to find transient space somewhere convenient?

What about the Chesapeake? We'll be cruising to our final destination at Great Bridve VA where we'll leave the boat till November. Any advice regarding this itinerary would be appreciated. Places to go/avoid, good guides, etc.

Thanks

Magnus
