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.

Hells gate is simple. Check for the flow and go! The only trouble we ever had
was years ago in the tiny 27 footer, forced down by the CG against the current
after the fireworks display.
