10-19-10, Weehawken, NJ (across the river from NYCity)

We made it almost to the end of the Hudson River today.  We docked at Lincoln Harbor Yacht Club across the river from New York City.  We had to motor all day since the wind was light and on our nose.  The scenery today was awesome.  The river was 150 feet deep in several places.  There are a lot of huge cliffs along the river.  There is a current in the Hudson River that was between 0.3-2.0 knots against us when the tide was ebbing and the same amount increasing our speed over ground when it was flowing.  The evening skyline of NY City from our marina is quite a sight.

A tug we passed that was pushing 11 barges.
