researched some place for fireworks in the Hudson valley , and this was the final choice. haven't been to newburgh in 15 years at least and heard they revamped the riverfront. slip cost me only $100 all in , and the customer service was great. its small operation run by a few people , but its a simple marina with no major amenities. the fireworks barge was just south of us and it was perfect. good vibes in the place, and plenty of music coming from the DJ at billie joes ribs. this is a good place for a one nighter to just chill and go to one of the waterfront restaurants. wouldn't call newburgh a "sightseeing city". was bitter sweet, when we got underway the next morning , I lost my stbd motor about 15 minutes out. had a healthy southerly Hudson breeze and some chop from opposite tide. had to limp back on one back to Haverstraw! could not get the motor back and I suspect carb issues. it wasn't the right condition to putz around out there. all in all , great 4th of july experience
