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.

Thursday April 4–after the storm

Winds abated and skies cleared Thursday, though a few tug/barge combinations remained at anchor in the North River through the day.

Pinuccia returned from Newburgh with the New York 30 barge on the hip, perhaps looking for better control in the still elevated wind and chop. The pair headed for Perth Amboy on the Arthur Kill.
Marilyn George was also towing on the hip with the Edwin Poling barge. Marilyn travelled as far up the river as New Hamburg during the storm without anchoring or visiting a terminal and then came back to Raritan Bay.
The articulated Janice Ann was in the notch on RTC 103 as usual, heading for Newburgh with cargo
Timothy Reinauer, built in 1979 but substantially modernized with a modern wheelhouse and tower and ATB connections, remained anchored off 72nd Street with RTC 84
Morgan Reinauer remained anchored further north with RTC 100 seemingly loaded, perhaps waiting for calmer seas outside the harbor before heading for their destination.
Pocomoke made a slow trip up the North River…
…but did not stay long, soon heading back to the Arthur Kill
Skies cleared in the afternoon at last.
