Hi all, What about the 79th st Boat Basin moorings? I am going to a Pete Seeger concert 5/3 and intend to be on the moorings at the Boat Basin 5/1 for a few days. I have a hard chined, keeled, low windage with mooring/anchoring flopper stoppers. I here there are wakes? The facility has a dingy dock/security--its a park and its spring time. Sounds like a deal to me-- Too good to be true--the Clearwater sloop will be there as well---The Admiral will be aboard. Kevin Kearney/JOLIE/Baltimore 9 daysish to departure.

Kevin, I happen to like the 79th Street boat basin moorings. They are $30/day, buy 6 and get 1 free. Six years ago, they were $15/day, buy 5 and get 2 free! Ah, inflation. Yes, there is some rocking from passing boats, and yes, the current rips through there, making getting on and off the dinghy a wee bit of a challenge. BUT, at the top of the hill are two stores to die for. The first and my favorite, is Zabars, which is a deli with more cheese in one place than could ever be thought possible. The other, just across the street is H & H bagels, the worlds best!!! Then, you are close to Central park, a simple (and cheap!) bus ride to almost anywhere, and a very safe neighborhood at any hour.
