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

Too much of a good thing?

Conditions began to move into the “a little too good” category on Saturday, with temperatures creeping up into the 70s. Recreational boaters lucky enough not to have taken their boats out for the winter yet were enjoying things, and the commercial crews were probably also content not to be freezing.

Hi Daniel—

Always enjoy your posts. Do you know why the St. Emilion is tarrying so long?

Thanks! Janet

  Thanks Janet. I don’t know the answer. I do know Saint Emilion was until recently hauled out in a boatyard for work, so perhaps there are still some work that needs to be done before they put her back to work. But that is just a guess.
