We are very glad that we stopped here for the first time. Saugerties and Espous Creek are jewels.
The creek offers a great anchorage, and the best shelter along the hudson. We're anchored at the base of a 100 foot limestone cliff. All around us are steep hills 100-200 feet wide. A hurricane or a tornado passing by would likely not stir the still air at the bottom of this hole. (Caution: I did hear though about a flash flood following a thunderstorm that flushed all the docked boats out of Espous Creek into the Hudson River.
Last night we were treated to a free concert in the waterfront park right next to the boat. We were able to sit in the cockpit and hear the music just fine.
The village is also a delight. Most towns in upstate NY, indeed all of the northeast, have dead or decaying downtown areas. A few exceptions are Burlington, VT, Saratoga Springs, NY and now Saugerties, NY. We had great fun walking around and seeing the sights. Particularly nice is Seamon park.

Saw you guys in the Esopus this weekend. From the vantage point of my backyard that has Esopus Creek frontage I could see your ship's mast. Come back again.
