Hey all,
I'm going to be sailing down the
Hudson around July 4th and I was thinking of timing my trip to so I could see the fireworks show off Manhattan. I was thinking I'd
anchor above the GW Bridge until dark and then
cruise through the area back to my marina in
Brooklyn.
I know the Coast Guard has a million special rules governing 4th of July fireworks and I'm having trouble making sense of all the press releases. I'm not trying to
anchor anywhere in
New York Harbor and I know better than to go near the East River on that night. Does anyone have experience with 4th of July on
NYC waters? Does my plan sound realistic? Is there anything else I should be aware of or concerned about?
Thanks,
Jack
