The remains of Patroon Island, with channels largely landfilled in with debris from Empire Plaza urban removal and construction of I-787 is on the left, and the highlands of the Hudson Valley on the right, as things start to clear out.

That bridge with it's coffer dam protecting it, sure looks large when viewed from a little tiny kayak, far below it.

You can see the city in the distance, down the Hudson River.

I ran out of time, and my camera battery ran dead, but I started down this way. I want to explore this part of the river more on future days.

Kind of "surfing" the wake of other power boats going up the Hudson River.
