View Hudson GWB South in a larger map
I headed onto the Hudson today, it being a sunny day with calm conditions forecast. I put in at the boat ramp almost directly under the George Washington Bridge, just a little south. It was a good boat ramp with two concrete ramps. I imagine it gets pretty busy in the summer, but today with cool conditions , there was very little boat action.
There were great views of the city all the way.
I paddled south along the New Jersey shore. There were many interesting houses at the start. It would be a nice place to live- good views for sure.
One of the most interesting sights was the slowly disintegrating "Binghamton', once a party boat.
