Hello all,
I have a friend that just purchased a Hobie 33. its a very light boat,
4000 lbs, and very narrow, 8' beam, He want to deliver from rockaway
beack back to Narragansett bay this Saturday. His initial intention was
to run the outside of long island but the forecast is for some big wind
and probably some big seas.
We were researching the east river as an alternative so he could go up
LI sound for a more protected journey. The current is very much in his
favor as low tide is 8am. the current will be slowing at that time and
turning toward LI sound. One of his crew is really afraid if the
river. I think the going on the inside is a better choice and he is on
the fence. I thought I would throw it out to you guys and see if anyone
that has experience with navigating the east river would offer some
words of wisdom.
