My parents just sold their Willard 40. The buyer, who is from the PNW, is picking up the boat next week in Narragansett Bay, heading down Long Island Sound to NYC where he has family flying in to LaGuardia, then he will go up the Hudson to the Erie Canal. He is looking for local knowledge to help plan the trip down the Sound, then up to the Canal. This is a seven-knot boat, eight at best. He is under time constraints and is not looking to cruise, per se, more of a delivery trip. He thinks of me as "local", but I've never done LIS or the Hudson so I can't help. Looking for info to pass on to him.
Go!
- How many days should he allow to get to NYC from the Newport area?
- What would be good/efficient/convenient stops along the way?
- Is the Worlds Fair Marina a good choice for meeting folks flying into LaGuardia (taxi ride consideration), or are there other good alternatives?
- How many days should he allow to get from NYC up to the start of the Erie Canal?
Go!
