Having remained at anchor in Raritan Bay since September 5th, d'Halve Maen weighs anchor at noon and continues working its way around Staten Island. d'Halve Maen has not yet reached the Hudson River; Juet's mention of "the River" likely refers to the Narrows, current site of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Today the Narrows is a major waterway, but 400 years ago Hudson's crew found it shallow going.
