Upper Hudson River Cruising

We’re new to the Albany region river boating scene and currently have our new to us 2005 Mainship slipped in Coeymans. We are looking to explore south.

This weekend we’d like to spend an overnight away from the marina tied to a dock or wall. We have only anchored in the tidal Hudson River once last weekend (our first week on the river) and we were in an inlet during the day. I prefer to spend some time at anchor during the tidal and current shifts prior to staying on the hook in the open river over night.

We’re interested in knowing if anyone knows of a dock or wall that is safe enough overnight between Coeymans and Kingston.

We’re looking to explore further south, but need some practice with the new boat and anchor before we spend the night on the hook.

Also, we saw a 'private' but very large dock across on Coxsockie Island across from the marina/yacht club. Does anyone know if one can tie up there over night. Capt Bob's anchorages (book) does not address this.

Thanks, JimL
