Daily observations on the Hudson River as it passes through New York City. The section of the Hudson which passes through New York is historically known as the North River, called this by the Dutch to distinguish it from the Delaware River, which they knew as the South River. This stretch of the Hudson is still often referred to as the North River by local mariners today. All photos by Daniel Katzive unless otherwise attributed. Twitter @dannykatman

Hello from the other side

The weekend has brought perfect spring temperatures, though with a steady wind coming in from the south keeping things choppy during ebb tides, especially on Friday. A trip to New Jersey can provide a Western perspective on the North River. Below, the Haggerty Girls pushes an empty tanker barge from Albany under the George Washington Bridge, followed by the Dean Reinauer returning from Albany.

Closer to home, recreational boaters are beginning to appear more frequently as temperatures rise. An outrigged canoer was seen fighting a flood tide heading back towards her boat house and several 24’ sailboats were on the river.
