Looking from the Anthony’s Nose side of the bridge down toward Jones Point, you can sense the scale of the terrain from the way it shrinks the ship,
BBC Seine on the Hudson passing Iona Island.
That’s the south slope of Bear Mountain to the right. I’m not sure whether the other peaks have separate names. More of that mountain can be seen below and was included in this post from almost half a year ago.
BBC Seine was moving quite fast with a favorable current . . . 15+ kts, I believe.
How’s that for a wake. Is there another word for this indication of turbulence? Anyhow, at that point, I heard a noise from high up on the bridge that
sounded like this.
Such was the occurrence. Can anyone identify the prey by the feet?

In response to (1.), JED, TRUE, except for the peregrines’ prey. and (2.), is cavitation only what happens at the instant of the wheel meeting water or does it include what reminds as an appearance on the water for a period afterwards?
