This is the Hudson ten days ago, looking south towards the Tappan Zee.

Sunday all the ice was gone. On the left is Croton bay with Crawbuckie beach, a great shallow water sailing area.
I came across this description by Tom Lake in the Hudson River Almanac:
Crawbuckie is a legendary beach fronting Croton Bay, just north of Ossining and just south of the Croton River in Westchester County. From this strip of sand, striped bass of epic proportions have been hooked(some even landed) by anglers over the years. One day, fifty-five yearsago, Henry Gourdine and his crew, using a hand-made 2600-foot-long haulseine with a quarter-mile of head rope, caught 14,000 pounds of American shad and striped bass. He was not altogether happy about the haul; ittook the crew so long to weigh, box, and ice the fish that they missed the opportunity to set on the next tide.
