DON"T DO IT!!!!

The harbor is a madhouse of drunken power boaters.  Their wakes disrupt the
tidal flow already nasty by reason of the strong sea breeze common at this
time of year and these agents produce a maelstrom of chop which is
guaranteed to induce sea sickness even for Captain Bligh.

All the convenient marinas will be sold out and in any event they are
charging extortionate rates for a slip.  That means you will have to anchor
out behind Liberty Island (Statue of Liberty).  That's surge city!

If you want to see the show and combine it with a cruise down the East River
I suggest you leave Saturday morning stay one of the Brooklyn or Staten
Island marinas and take public transportation to the show.  Then return on
Monday.
