Beautiful views of mountains, bridge and Sing Sing prison. We were there on a monday and saw very little boat trafic exept for the ferry. There's a lot of trains, but they dont seem to make a lot of noise(didn't bother us). We are anchored a bit south of the anchoring mark in what is charted as 8' but its more like 6'. We tried to go closer to the mark, but we where at high tide(+2,5) and saw only 6 so we turned around and went to the charted 8 feet. Saw no mooring balls here. Theres some close to the marinas but not in the anchorage. Seem to have good holding in mud, but we didn't have strong winds. Went to the marina close by to get diesel and they let us tie our dingy for provisionning since it was the end of the day (maybe we where just lucky, but ask before you do it). P. S. the diesel there is street diesel not marine.
