Québec 1,

I It must be a challenge to sail the St. Lawrence when the tide changes. That river runs both ways by there depending on the time of day.

Your not kidding ! You have to think before you act everytime you go out. But it is quite exciting. I have been sailing with a 10 and 14 foot dingy and have had to row my way to shore a few times, but then I sometimes went out against the tides and the winds just for excitement. I can't wait to try my 26M this spring. I bought it thinking of the 18 foot tides...normal and 5+ knot current depending where you are. I plan on doing the fiords up the Saguenay River as my first adventure trip. Originally I am from Manitoba .

The Hudson is tidal all the way up to Troy lock, 130 miles north of NYC...likewise the river changes direction 4 times a day. About a 3 foot tidal range near Albany where we are. Every year I pull a couple of kayakers back to the launch when they get caught and tire out. Often they are people who have kayaked up on the Mohawk (a few minutes away) then come down by car to the Hudson, not realising they are passing a lock when they do this.
