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 copyright Daniel Katzive unless otherwise attributed.

In like a lion?

March kicked off with a heavy slug of two-way traffic dominated by ATBs, with a sugar barge and some stone hoppers also in the mix. The weather was more moderate though, with clear skies and temperatures in the 40s.

Carolina Coast left its anchorage off Yonkers at sunrise with the light sugar barge Jonathan on the wire, heading back south for more product.
Janice Ann was at anchor off Edgewater at daybreak after an overnight trip don from Albany.
Later in the morning, Janice got a visit from Jason Reinauer, perhaps dropping equipment or crew, before Jason headed back to the Upper Bay.
Later on, Janice headed for Bayonne IMTT for new cargo, passing Kirby’s Mako on one whistle.
Mako, not observed by NRN since last summer, was bringing a cargo north from the Delaware River refineries.
Patrice McCalister left her anchorage off Yonkers with her barge backwards on the hip, made a loop in the Upper Bay and then returned to anchor again off Edgewater.
Kimberly Poling was pushing the loaded barge Edwin Poling north towards Albany
Josephine was on a similar mission
As was Quenames
Gracie M. Reinauer was going the other way, bringing a light barge back from Newburgh.
CMT’s Daisy Mae was moving a cargo of large stones and perhaps gravel heading for the Greenville anchorages.
A pair of F18s flew up the River to West Point and back at midday
A kayaker was out with a pair of paddle boarders in the morning
