Two observations: First, going against the current is not an option. A friend with a larger boat than yours claims that he tried it once and an older woman with a walker was making better progress on the shore. With a smaller boat and engine, you might actually go backwards. So make sure you time your trip carefully. Second, I would be absolutely sure that your engine is in good working order and that you have more than enough gas. Getting stuck in there with the traffic and four or five knots of current would not be fun.
