Watch your tides going through Hells Gate and the East River. Try for incoming or slack tide. Let the river do the work for you.
Same holds true for the Husdon. Ride a slack-incoming tide and you're apt to reach Poughkeepsie before it turns against you.
Finally, watch out for debris in the water. New York harbor is full of old pilings floating around and the Hudson dumps lots of tree trunks, etc. into the harbor every year. For this reason I always travelled on the Hudson during the daylight hours.
You'll enjoy your trip!
