Default Never run downwind?

You're assuming I gave RB the correct info. It's up to him to double and triple check
everything - this isn't a place where you want to get things wrong. Since I don't transit
NYC often, I always use two different tide/current sources to make sure I didn't go to the
wrong page or column.

No, I would say that it sounds like Jeff and Skitch did your homework.

This post proves that Ganzy knows nothing about sailing.
Think about where I am, Ganzy. Now imagine that I leave Saturday at 8:00

am and
I need to return Sunday night.
Think about Hells Gate...can't exactly turn it when I want, now can't I.

Now
imagine that winds are low and I don't want to motor the whole trip.
75 miles offshort and back assuming a direct VMG would be 150 NM plus

waiting
for the tides and possible uncooperative wind to make the gate both ways.
Hmmmm. Sounds like I did my homework.
