you need to buy Eldridge Tide & Pilot Book 2021 - it has currents in Long Island Sound, East river, Hudson river etc..
For max speed & economy time your trip to run with the current all the way to Hell Gate. Hell Gate is a breeze at any stage of current.
I would lower the mast, check the bridge clearances and do the Harlem river to the Hudson. It saves you about 30 miles.
When you get to the Hudson, check the current. If its against you, head over to the western shore and drop the hook.
Keep your eye on the current and set off as soon as it turns in your favor.
You can then ride it for up to 10hrs depending on what speed you are doing.
I have daily logs of distances/stops/timings etc. all the way from Guilford CT to Racine via the Western Erie.
Let me know and I'll email them to you.
