Cool, thanks! Passed it so many times but never knew the name of it... Can't remember the name of the restaurant we used to go to, it was on a barge up near the Newburgh bridge. Can I get 93 octane up there? Last time I was there I went to a gas dock right at the base of the newburg bridge, or maybe it was the next bridge but they only had 89 and I still had my Panther.
I may just have to do that and let you know....I was tossing around the idea of running up there with wife/kid to the torches area for an overnighter... Last year we ran around the bay a lot with the baby, getting her used to the ride (she loves it!) but never traveled long distance... So now that she'll be closer to 3 yrs old, I figure a nice run up the Hudson is much more predictable/calm with the baby onboard!

That area Bear Mnt up thru Newburgh bridges is my home turf . My dad is a member at he Cortland Yacht club which is a little south of Bear Mnt which is a great family spot for overnighting with a pool, clean showers, food, etc & lotsa kids. The barge ( bar ) is called Gully's , there are a half a dozen or so great resturants on the water in that area. As far as 93 octane on the water . I'd say no but 91 is availible . If I knew you were heading up I could get you some race fuel to make up the difference. Give me shout if your thinking about taking a cruise up north "up the mother waters" as my old man calls it.

Furthest north I ever went was Catskill Creek where we spent the night at HopNose Marina. When I was a little kid my parents knew the owners of the marina and went up there for long weekends all the time (so much that I thought they were my cousins) so when I bought my Scarab in the 90's, I thought it would be fitting to take a trip up there!!! We went to dinner at some restaurant near the foot of the creek.
I heard they rebuilt the Bayview restaurant in Haverstraw? That was another restaurant we'd go to for lunch a lot before it burned down.

I also left my cellphone in the bathroom and some jackazz stole it. 
Anyway, it burned down shortly thereafter...karma???
Anyway, it was always a good place so I look forward to going back there again!
