Caleb, you'll never get "good" visibility up the Hudson Estuary that way. First, because you are on a tidal estuary, not a river, so everything gets churned up twice a day by the tide. And that includes all the dirt and silt being scoured off the land into the Hudson--which is pretty much the same reason the Mississippi gets called "the big Muddy". You can have pristine pure water--that's dead. Or good water that's just full of algae blooms from nutrient runoff, and silt from the shore. Considering that all the the Catskills are an eroded plateau (not Mountains, no) and all that erosion is going into the Hudson...I suspect one foot of visibility IS good. For there.
