Default River sailing question

How wide is the river & how fast does it flow?

It's about 200 yards wide and there's normally very little current. At my
house the wind is most often straight upriver. A picture being worth a dozen
words, here are a couple of photos from my back yard, looking upstream:

Looks like more than 200 yards to me, but it's a pretty
place. The one thing I'd say about sailing here is to expect
the wind to be flukey because of the hills... other than
that, go for it!
