Jeff ,, terrified of underwater cables? I don't believe I ever posted that.

You twice mentioned them as reasons not cruise one of the most
beautiful rivers on the East Coast. I can understand being a bit
nervous about the Reversing Falls, or the 20 foot tides, or even the
fog, but underwater cables? Give me a break!


I have never encountered them where I sail.

Cable ferries were once quite common, but now there are not too many
still operating. Cables in general, are of course, quite common.

And I may be wrong, but the river up to Fredericton looks more like 65
nm than 90. In any case, its considered to be gorgeous cruising
grounds, the real reason to go to St. John.

Once again you show what a twurp you are. Rather than post something of
value, you attack.

I thought that mentioning that "kts per hour" is a really stupid
phrase to use might be a value to some novices who don't want to look
like a fool.

Tell ya what .. why don't you try Niagra Falls.

Do you mean "Niagara Falls"? A lovely spot. I've even been boating
there, but I let someone else drive:

Terry K ,, at the schedule you just posted; the trip to Fredericton and
back to St John is a one month journey.

Does it take two weeks to get from St John to Fredericton? I looked on
google and it is about 90 miles from St John to Fredericton.

I would think; 60*D=S*T
60*90=5*T
should take : 18 hours

60*90=5400
divided by 5kts per hour

equal = 1080 minutes
equal 1080 divide by 60 = 18 hours of cruising at 5 kts per hour

18 divide by 6 hours per day = 3 days

Am I missing something? I would think Roger would be able to get to
Fredericton in 3 days, spend 3 days at the festival and then 3-4 days
return to St John.

The whole trip would be less than two weeks.

Is that what you are saying?
Kts per hour??? are you talking about acceleration?

And why are you terrified of underwater cables? Do you imagine that they
are trip wires that the locals pull taut whenever a foreign boat goes by?
As for the Reversing Falls, that's always been a goal of mine. I don't
think we'll get there this year, but maybe in a few.
