USA - New York, Hudson River, Esopus Creek

We sailed north up the Hudson, sometimes motor sailing. Toward sunset we looked for an anchorage and choose a spot we’d been to before a mile south of Haverstraw Marine. The bay is small. The entrance narrow. But the bay inside is well worth the effort for a good nights sleep.

The Haverstraw Park which we overlooked is immaculate! 

Going out in the morning was changeling, with low tide…..
 

Our next mission was to fill up with fuel, and we headed to the Haverstraw Marina

Fuel filled, Water filled, Garbage Dumped, all good!

Continuing North we bypassed the Iconic and World Renowned Military Academy ‘West Point’

As the day wore on, it was time to find an anchorage for the night and Esopus looked promising…

Some sights in Esopus, a small creek, but with enough room for a couple of yachts to anchor
