Hey, I plan on taking my 21' Chaparral in the Hudson at Hazzard's Ramp on
Friday. I plan on going south toward the statue of liberty and also on the
East River past the triboro. I have heard some stories of Strong Current on
the east river near hells gate and rocks near the statue. Any truth to that?
Will my 21' Chaparral be OK?

I'm looking for some reassuring advice, mainly on the conditions. Any help
is appreciated.. I do have Charts of the area.

Also another day I plan on going to NY Harbor, any opinions on that?
Currents? Rocks?

Thanks!

When someone asks on the internet for the location of rocks in a
prospective boating area, I worry that maybe they don't have a chart.
Surely you have a chart, correct?
