[Rhodes22-list] Measured Hull Speed

> Which way is the wind effect?>

During the summer the prevailing wind is southerly.  The Hudson River valley
runs approximately North/South so the wind follows the rivers course.  When
the river narrows at the High Lands a venturi effect develops which causes
the wind velocity to increase.  Sometimes dramatically.

<  Is it the same way as the river>

The Hudson is not a river.  It's an estuary!  Tidal influences are evident
all the way to it's origin.
