I echo all that is said about the East River and Hells Gate. Playing the tides down the East River will rocket you down to the Battery in 3-4 hours. You can add anywhere from 3-5 kph over the ground speed to your knotmeter.
Take a camera as there are many famous snapshots along the way including the Empire State, Crysler, UN, Brooklyn and Manahhatan Bridges..etc.
My suggestion is also to stay at Liberty Marina on the Jersey side close to the Statue of Liberty and the ferry which runs to it. Running up the Hudson has lots of boat traffic till you get to the GW Bridge and the famous "Little Red Lighthouse" of childrens story tales next to the bridge. At that poisnt the current eases some.
