Nice Day On The Hudson River

Finally! Some half-way warm and sunny weather! Took a quick ride over to the river and got a few shots of a tug and a bulk carrier. A couple of kayakers also. Better them then me. There are still ice chunks floating in the river. I watched the one kayaker for a while. She was so focused on something she was doing that she apparently didn't realize she was drifting into the middle of the channel with the freighter coming north. A half dozen blasts of the ship's horn took care of that! I was impressed with how fast she can paddle! I think the dog she had with her was threatening to mutiny!

Very nice set, LF. Tugs, ships, fishing boats, etc. always make great subjects IMHO. Nicely done!

I enjoyed your set of photos. I can't wait for the Mississippi to open up in my area for river traffic!

Have any idea of what they may be hauling??
It was headed up to the Port Of Coeymans, just south of Albany, most likely to load scrap metal.

Nice work and a great story as well. I have never been on the Hudson but hope to some day. Thank you.

Nice images! I used to live in NJ across from Manhattan and remember seeing all the traffic on that end of the Hudson. I regret never seeing the Hudson north of the Tappan Zee Bridge.
