I'll be staying at Haverstaw this weekend 8/17 Friday afternoon leaving Sunday. If you Pirates are nearby say hi. Both Boating Bob & Hogan have told me me that torches in Newbugh is a good place to eat & I can dock there - so I'll give it a try? A few Other suggestions were Babes, Parrot Bay, Ship to Shore & Mariners. I'm full already. So many places to eat so little time. I'll do my best. See you soon...
Haverstraw this weekend-say hi
- Thread starter Capt. Art
- Start date
I'll third Torches just keep in mind it's roughly 45 minutes north of Haverstraw by boat. Babes & Parrot Bay will require a car or cab to reach from the marina unless you like long walks.
Aren't Ship to Shore & Mariners up in Kingston? (2+ hours north of Haverstraw)
Your best bet is to head over to one of the many raftups we are having across the river in Croton this weekend. We plan on dropping one of the first hooks Friday afternoon.

I have some family meeting us at Haverstraw Saturday for a ride further up river. I'd guess about 30 more miles or so would make a nice cruise? Anything nice to see going North? I've only been as Far as the Newburgh/Beacon Bridge on my last cruise.

I think that Catskill Creek is actually kind of nice. Also the area around Hyde Park and a little north is nice as well. We have a small boat so anything south of say Indian Point on the weekend gets us fairly well beat up.

Great. No going out this weekend. Prego wife needs it calm and smooth out there.
I should be down on the docks tonight though.
Wow, Haverstraw had 30 knot winds Saturday. Put me in a slip I needed KY Jelly to get into(40 footer was away)I was 20 extra feet to deal with. Once in on Friday with those winds I stayed right where I was on Saturday. As the only boater with my group I felt it unsafe to venture out as pulling in would be a real chore alone. I'll bet I would have banged into a few boats just trying to untie the lines. Some days, if you have a choice, you have to do what you think is best. Still had a great trip but I complained about the slip they gave me.
JohnH, my thoughts exactly. No way back into my slip with those winds on Saturday without bouncing off a few boats. Not with the slip they gave me.
Rommer, you were on the hook? I feel your pain. I was tied well but I had to go back out and tie 4 extra lines or I was feeling like a milk shake even in my slip.

Yup, we were out with Robyns Nest and another boat. Was calm as could be when we went out and the forecasts were good. Sure changed quick!
Really reinforces the need to use proper anchoring techniques like 10 to 1 scope. Just got finished adding a second stern line to go with the 2 bow anchors and WHAM! 40+mph winds....
