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

Cold at last

Temperatures finally fell into the 30s Monday morning, a shocking return to reality to many who were getting used to summery conditions sticking around. Tanker barges continue to move back in forth on the river, while the Patrice McAllister and Centerline’s William J. Fallon were laid up at North River anchorages. With the Veterans Day weekend behind us, the Coast Guard cutter Lawrence Lawson left Pier 86 and returned to Cape May while the USS Arlington was heading for her own home port of Norfolk.

Jordan Rose left the Yonkers anchorage with her barge and headed for the Bay Ride anchorage
Kimberly Poling brought a light barge down from Albany and headed down the Arthur Kill to Raritan Bay.

A closer look at the police boat, shows it is marked as Marin Sheriff! It looks a lot like the boat on the Marin, California Sheriff’s web site. But there is also some news about the county having acquired new boats. This one likely sold to a new owner and not yet repainted.
DonJon’s low slung J Arnold Witte continues to do work with a barge around Pier 99, perhaps supporting divers
This interesting yacht named Savage looks like it has ability to sail. It was heading from Haverstraw to North Shore Marina in Port Washington
