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 rain cleared Saturday and temperatures climbed into the 40s with winds around 15 knots. HRCS had its J24s on the water, and a group of kayakers was also seen in the midday sun. Patrice McCalister anchored off 96th Street in the rain on Friday, and remained Saturday morning with her barge on the hip, her usual configuration when the barge is unloaded. Saint Emilion returned from Albany Friday night and appeared to have handed off its barge to Copper Mountain, which came up from Caddell’s dry dock and anchored with the barge about half a mile north of Patrice, remaining there Saturday. Tanker barge traffic Saturday was heavy, but was mainly empties moving south, while some stone hoppers were also seen heading south.
