Check out these guys, Por Favor, a Hobie 33 in the 2015 & 2016 Race
to Alaska (R2AK)

We've also raced against them on a couple of Van Isle 360. These
boats can take more than most crews. Por Favor has one tough crew!
Hobie 33? No problem!
Cheers, Russ

Those are fun boats! I have great memories of trips on a Hobbie
33. First overnight with such dense fog we could hardly see the
bow, long trip with my wife, I was stuck in the quarter/pipe berth
and she was in the bow, and a fine spinnaker run by moonlight.
Enjoy, Lee

Traffic can get things rocking in there. Not good for an outboard.

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.

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.
