Oh, we didn't go through at slack. I think we hit close to peak flow. The eddies were tossing my 23 around. It was quite a ride.


11.3 knots! by ruidh, on Flickr

Herco, the thing to do is coordinate with Pete Dodenhoff and travel in a group. You definately want to go with the current rather than fighting it and you want to make it through before it reverses.

Nope, we didn't go through at slack, but my point was, although probably not clear, even with current, be respectful of it but not afraid. With some planning, it is not that scary a place.

BTW, when I went by the power plant just East of Hell Gate, I hit 13 kts. It was very cool.

Pete and I plan with any one else who cares to join us to travel as a group a few days before and as all said with proper planning Hell's Gate is no problem.....been through it quite a few times and my record speed was 13 knots heading south one time

The first issue of the rOnDAYvous e-newsletter has been sent out. If you didn't get it, well, you just don't get it. (All kidding aside, just ask and I'll be happy to add you to the burgeoning mailing list.)

Well after last years job transition right as I was making arrangements to attend, I'm planning on being there this year. Hell froze over so to speak. Not bad all in all as I had a new job within 3 days that offered several weeks vacation upfront. I don't forsee any impediments to attending this year.

Want me to write a note to your boss? If I know my rOnDAYvous comrades, we'll do what we can to help assure your being there.

Fingers crossed.

Dan,

I checked your odayowners profile, and saw the reference to homebrewing. You ought to get in touch with Rick Bartlett (Apple O'day), who is the unofficial brewmaster of the rOnDAYvous. He usually brings a jug or two of adult bevs to the gathering.

BTW, Dan, don't forget to send me your e-address (off-list, if you feel it's safer), so I can add you to the mailing list for newsletters and other updates.

OK, I sent in the Marina Reservation form tonight (the joys of the night watch.) Leave paperwork is submitted, and I think even my wife is excited by the prospect of the trip. I am going to try and rally a good crew for this trip. Aloha for now, and in the meantime, if anyone is down in the DC/Annapolis/Chesapeake area, let me know.

Welcome to the fun and we have some friends Patti and Bill Coxe from New Bern NC that wander up every year in their 40 Oday so maybe you could reach out and join them if the timing works out

FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC!

Wish I could sign aboard for the trip up from the Chez. In any case, be sure to let me know if you want to make a stopover at my marina in Jersey City before pushing on to the rOnDAYvous.

Capn Pete,
Where is your Marina? That may be an option either before or after the rOnDAYvous. I am planning to make a loop of Long Island over the course of the trip.

My marina is on the Hudson in Jersey City, about a mile or so north of the Battery. Or, if you prefer: 40°43’32.04”N 74° 2’4.33”W. (That's straight from the marina website, www.igy-newport.com.)

If you do make a stop there, as I hope, I'll have a welcome mat out and leave a light on for you.

Thanks. If you decide to head to DC anytime, let me know. We are at the Washington Sailing Marina (only 1 mile to National Airport.) There is always cold beer at our slip.
