Thank you all for the advice!
It is an outboard in a well. A newish 5hp tohatsu 4-stroke. I'm trying
to talk him into borrowing a 10hp (the boat's max rating) for the trip.
He is set on doing this weekend... I kind of wanted to go but, not
really on this boat! lol

Nothing to be afraid of generally. Especially with the current in his favor.
Early is definitely better than later in the day. Traffic can get things
rocking in there. Not good for an outboard.

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.
