Next message: Kevin Redden: "T&T: Hell Gate (was: CT to Sandy Hook)"
For single engine craft, wouldn't it be wiser to go through at slack water?
A friend of mine lost his auxiliary while going through with the ebb tide
and was tossed about like a spinning top. An experienced and level-headed
mariner who said he would never go through at any time other than slack.
