The "Hudson canyon" ? Oh makin a canyan run are you ? The Hudson canyon starts at the mouth of the Hudson river in NY harbor, it runs way out and gets deeper, it depends "WHERE" in the "Canyan" you want to go, a 25 foot boat could do it but, it's "OPEN WATER", best to go with a few boats, keep channel 16 on, and bring an "EPIRB", good luck. Wear your PFD, be prepared for ANYTHING, it is the ocean. A friend of mine was out there a few years ago, it was about 3 AM, and everyone was anchored in an "ANCHORAGE AREA" on the chart. Luckily someone on one of the other boats was awake and standing watch, when the radio's crackled with "EMERGENCY EMERGENCY, CUT ALL ANCHOR LINES RIGHT NOW AND MOVE, EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY", evryone scrambled and cut the anchor lines and backed way off, A 600' freighter of unknown origin slipped through the anchorage area at 12 knots, THANK GOD someone was up, and noticed the "Intrusion Alarm" had been triggered on the radar screen, see how important a "WATCH" is on an overnight trip ? what if everyone was asleep ? they suspected that the "Helmsman" on the freighter was asleep and on auto. pilot, they notified the Coast Guard.

Where can I get good pictures of a viking ship?

The closest run to a 200 foot depth is 100 miles to the South East from Montauk. The question of using a 25 foot walk around is how much fuel can you carry. The general rules is to take 1/3 out 1/3 back and 1/3 for emergency conditions. With a big outboard, can you carry 300 gallons of fuel? Boat manufacturers generally give a cruising range on a boat. Next questionis can your boat handle blue water if conditions deteriorate?

What ships are docking at Felixstowe?

The tip of Block Canyon is about 65 miles south southeast from Montauk Point. Yes you can make it there in a 25 on a calm day with a good forecast but I would not suggest it. Thats a long run home if the weather turns and it can turn very quickly. Even with all the required safety gear and more (life raft, epirb, vhf) help can be many hours away at that distance. There are plenty of stories of far bigger boats running into big trouble out there, better to stay inshore and get experience. You can always charter for an offshore trip. Enjoy and be safe Cap.
