The East River is a tidal strait with fast and dangerous currents.....if you don't know how and when to handle them.
Part 1: We'll learn about tides and tidal currents, with a special focus on those in our area. Discussion on how moon phases and even the weather can affect currents. Using the 50-90 rule, understanding various charts, apps, and lingo.
Part 2: We'll actually plan trips, troubleshoot different locations and conditions. I'll try to stump you with difficult dates & times.
