How wide is the river & how fast does it flow?


It's about 200 yards wide and there's normally very little current. At my
house the wind is most often straight upriver. A picture being worth a dozen
words, here are a couple of photos from my back yard, looking upstream:

I'd sail a smaller boat there, assuming it's at least 4 feet deep most
places. With a small outboard you can just motor back against the wind
if you tire of tacking.
