[Rhodes22-list] Measured Hull Speed

[Kroposki]

Richard,
	Which way is the wind effect?  Is it the same way as the river
flow?  It can't be lateral because of the mountains.

That area of the Hudson "The Highlands" is famous for wind.  The river
narrows and the mountains on either side produce a venturi effect which
accelerates the wind.
