For some odd reason, this blog gets many hits. Consequently, I get many requests for advertising and such, which I decline. This latest request is a bit different, though.
I've been to New York City many times, mostly by boat. For me, it is a mix of beauty and wonderment, and apprehension. New York Harbor is busy. Very busy. I've travelled down the East River and had a ferry boat back out of its slip right in front of me. I've been waked by craft of all sizes. I've had the US Coast Guard point a 50 caliber machine gun at me for being too close to the US Intrepid. Still, it's a wonder to see, and a place you must pass through if you plan on traveling up the Hudson River or western Long Island Sound.
If you plan on boating in New York Harbor, there is a website you should visit- http://www.thesafeharbor.us/. It has a wealth of information, including charts, tide tables, ferry routes, marine forecasts, how to stay out of the shipping channel, and so on. There's even a very informative 28 minute safety video (funded by I Boat NJ) that you can watch which will give you a sense of what NY Harbor is like.
Yep, plugging this website is not a problem for me. Useful info here.
