A 35-foot NYPD Harbor Patrol launch assisted a jet skier on the North River off 69th Street as temperatures topped 80 degrees on Saturday afternoon. In the background, a J80 sailboat headed downriver close hauled with a reefed mainsail.
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.
