After the Tappan Zee bridge we started to see barge traffic in the river, lots of barge traffic and we could not tell if they were moving. ODD - also there was the New York skyline and it was interesting to try and identify the buildings on the horizon. I went to the front of the boat until the sun got to hot then came back and then back out - then we have large wakes and I got bounced around so I came back in the cock pit. To many things to see -

these barges are anchored in the river - there were four before the
George Washington Bridge |

| The bridge has an upper level with four lanes in each direction and a lower level with three lanes in each direction, for a total of 14 lanes of travel. The speed limit on the bridge is 45 mph (70 km/h), though congestion often slows traffic, especially during the morning and evening rush hours. A path on each side of the bridge's upper level carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic. As of 2007, the George Washington Bridge has the greatest vehicular capacity of any bridge in the world,[7][8] carrying approximately 106 million vehicles per year, making it the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey - the bi-state government agency that owns and operates several area bridges, tunnels, and airports.[9]
