My wife and I are planning a trip up the Hudson on our Mainship 34T. Our hope is to start mid to late May destination Lake Champlain. Then returning back to Long Island. One thought is to return down the East coast. We are looking for some useful experience as far as time line ,places to stay (avoid) and navigational tips. We will be bringing bikes and also enjoy hiking. I really don’t know how much time to allow for this trip (assuming we end up returning back down the river). We have made the trip from Maine that is a known.
