Doing the East River at night is beautiful, but you need to keep a
serious debris watch. There is a lot of big stuff floating around.
Also, they are doing some constructiion on the highway and the channel
is narrowed to almost 1/2 from 72nd St to 50th St. with large barges
cranes and miscl. equipment.

We're looking at Friday night. My friends Galaxy 32 is getting splashed on
Saturday morning, so we may sail over to Liberty Marina and help out.

Got the edlrige handy? What time's ebb friday even?

Eldridge is on the boat, but using on line tide tables and the fact
that current change at H gate is 2 hrs after High or low tide at the
Battery, Hell gate should begin the ebb around 9:00PM Fri .

Its an hour 15 min from C.I. to Hellgate and the current turns at
Cryder Point 30 min before H gate. so, you can push a 1/2 to 1kn
current and leave at 7:45 PM and go thru at slack or leave at 8:30
and ride fair all the way.

Good info....I have a lady friend who wants to come along, so leaving at about
7 PM may work best.
