Are there any days when it is too fast for your boat to handle, or at least too fast, where you feel unsafe?

It's always easier to control your boat when going against the current rather than with it. Now think of what happens when you squeeze the end of a garden hose while water is running through it. The amount of water flowing doesn't change, but the pressure increases greatly...all the water flowing towards the dam is squeezed into that small channel which causes the currents to increase. It's not dangerous like under the General Sullivan Bridge in Dover / Newington, but it can push you around a little, so to maintain more control going against it really helps!
