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

The string of perfect fall days came to an end on Sunday, with periodic rain and fog rolling in and lingering through Monday. The Dutch and Danish NATO frigates that had been sitting at Pier 88 headed back to sea Monday morning, perhaps to rejoin the brand new U.S. carrier Gerald Ford off Virginia Beach for more drills, or maybe to head back to Europe. In any case, the cruise terminal was empty Monday for the first time in some days. Tanker and cement barge traffic remained heavy, and a bulker arrived with a shipment of Brazilian sugar heading for Yonkers.

The Haggerty Girls and Janice Ann Reinauer anchored in the Monday fog south of the (invisible) bridge after returning from Albany. Janice Ann was on the move again soon to IMTT Bayonne for more cargo, but Haggerty Girls stayed put into the evening.
