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.

This Hughes 31 came down the North River on October 21. The owner had advertised on Facebook a few months earlier for crew leaving from Canada and aiming to be in BVI by January. This was probably among the last vessels to go through the Champlain Canal before it closed for the season. After a night anchored without services in what would have been the mooring field of the 79th Street Boat Basin if the marina were still open, he headed south. Hope his journey has been smooth so far.
