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.

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.
