I see quite a few sailboats go by. Looks like
pretty strong current.

Today's current tables show a max of about 4.5 kts at
Hell's Gate. It would
be a very long trip against the current. But a very quick
one with the
current.

Sounds about right, we had to build a cofferdam to work on
the bank and I know they could only move the crane barge at
slack tide IIRC.
BTW, I'll be there tomorrow.
