This week we will be moving our new to use F32 from New London CT to Shady Harbor marina on the Hudson. Anything special to be watchful for?

Thanks

Ken
 
I was out on the River south of there yesterday and there's a fair amount of tree debris which tends to be more prevalent after the amount heavy rain we've had lately. It's nothing to worry about if you keep a diligent watch but a few moments of not paying attention can quickly ruin your day with some of the logs that are out there bobbing up and down. If you've never traveled that far up the Hudson, the navigation is straight forward and "easy" but do pay attention to your charts and the channel, particularly as you approach Esopus Light south of Kingston. It's at a curve in the river where the channel bends to the east and many an inexperienced boater have followed their line of site rather than the channel. Taking the light on the wrong side will also quickly ruin your day (keep it to port heading north). Other than that, watch out for Brian, the marina's owner, trying to ply you with "little beers." It's a great spot and a beautiful trip - enjoy!
 
We rode from Kingston up to Athens and saw several logs floating in the water.
 
Thank you very much for the information, we will keep a sharp eye out for logs.
sierra, I marked my chart for the channel as I approach Esopus Light.

Thanks

Stopped in Shady Harbor for lunch on Friday as we headed to Rondout...
Our first time there and it really was a very nice place, great views from the outside tiki bar.

Dan, I thought you lived down south! We were at RYB Friday-Tuesday.
