Hi Dan,
We motored out of the Patchogue River. Calling it a "river" is probably being generous, since it isn't that big, maybe 200' wide. It is tidal with not much of a range, compared to many other places, so current isn't a major factor, unless there are issues I am unaware of. The time we were there I didn't feel a current either helping or hindering our progress. We may go back up the during the season for some of the restaurants along it's banks.The boat now lives on an even smaller strip of water with about 1' of range.
Fred

Nice. What river and how fast does the current run?
