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

Midweek roundup

Tuesday and Wednesday brought moderate temperatures, and building westerly winds which made for great sailing up and down the river by Wednesday afternoon. Activity in the city and on the River was subdued in the run up to Labor Day weekend. A pair of Reinauer tugs and the Patrice McCalister were at anchor on the River Tuesday, and they were replaced by the Cape Henry, which came back to River after refueling at the Kirby dock on Staten Island and then spending some time in the Upper Bay. The super-yacht Neninka was back at anchor off 72nd Street after returning from Greenport, NY on the North Fork.
