Anyone cruising the lower Hudson River this weekend might check out the Hudson River Festival on June 21, 22, and 23. This is a big Woodstocklike party held at Croton Park. It was started a number of years ago by the late singer Pete Seger and has been held annually in several locations. If you attended Woodstock (or wanted to) it is not to be missed. Anchoring is free in the bay north of Croton Point. Its the best anchorage in the Hudson with 8' of water covering a hard sand bottom. You can dinghy the short distance to the park or to the Croton town dock. Croton has excellent restaurants and shopping.
