Hudson River to Patuxant River

[halyardz]

Bummer. The trip down the Hudson is a nice ride with great scenery but in bad weather its dreary at best. Do they still have the time restrictions in place for passing through NY Harbor?

Halyardz,

I turned around at about Grant''s Tomb; there were no indications of restrictions that I was aware of. Also, the folks at the marina where I waited (in vein) for the weather to clear didn''t mention any. I would not linger near bridges and there may or may not be any anchoring near the Dear Lady''s Statue.

Rain? We''ve certainly had our share. Wind, well you missed a good one. Last Saturday it was gusting up to 30kts through some of the valley approaches (from mountains) just above Kingston. It turned into some wild rides given the shallows just above Saugerties. Missed going aground during a huge puff due to heel and did a quick 180 back to the tiny channel. We''ll be headed out to LI Sound in late July if you want to join us...details back channel.

I think the winds made it all the way down to Edgewater, NJ!!! Because the next day (Sunday) they still had the SCW out for the harbor and homeward bound I became. I''m making every effort to sell the Blue Eagle and get a cruising type boat (sail) for my next trek. This summer is now devoted to the "new", existing and visiting Grandchildren. We''ll camp and kayak on calm waters and warm nights!
