cranki is on a distinguished road
It's been a long time, but I came through Hell's Gate on the 4th about 16 years ago. No restrictions then. Go with the tide for a nice fast ride. I suppose slack would be fine too - but don't even think about going against the current. First time through we were with the tide and against a stiff breeze. It was like running a freaking rapid and freaked me out. Plenty of water coming over the bow of our Pearson 30. Next time, in a light wind the water was flat and you could easily see swirls and eddies.
