Toward the end of next week, the admiral and I will be off for our annual Summer cruise. This year's destination is Kingston, NY, which means we'll be heading up the mighty Hudson River. We went last year as far as Poughkeepsie and this year we'll go a little further. In another 10 year's time, we'll have travelled the entire length of it, something no explorer has yet to do (shhhhh, it's my explorer fantasy, let me live it a bit longer). Anyway, we're using all the modern day tools for navigation planning such as the internet, chart plotters, etc. and will of course, carry backup paper charts with us. I can lookup Tide Tables on my chartplotter or print them beforehand on paper, but none seem to show which DIRECTION the Hudson River (or East River, for that matter) will be flowing at a point in time and how fast. This would be useful info for planning departure and arrivals times and estimating fuel comsumption. Does anyone know where I can get this information?
