Riding over to the Hudson River Park, the Now-Teen-Speed-Demon took the lead and I took off after her. Following were Little Squid and Papa Squid. For a while the NTSD was riding at a nice clip, 15 - 16 mph or so. After the first mile and a half she slowed a bit to let her mother catch up (I was actually right on her wheel) when suddenly I hear "pass mommy." Two seconds later, Little Squid sprints past me, followed by his grinning father. Then he slows down and I'm stuck in the rear with NTSD two blocks ahead of us. The path is too crowded for me to pass them easily and anyway, they'd just speed up on me if I did.
So on we pedaled, down the Hudson River path, detouring past the lines for the Statue of Liberty ferries and back uptown on the East River path. And then, a block past the Governor's Island Ferry slip we saw the first Waterfall.
Oh wait, not that!
This! Click to enlarge and look way in the background. Above is the Governer's Island Waterfall. Below, the Brooklyn Waterfall.
Below, again, the Brooklyn Waterfall

And, an empty loom.
Yes, that means that it was only two weeks from warp on to warp off. Warp speed?

I saw the BBridge waterfall on the news.
I love your pictures of the falls. Very interesting.
I had seen a story about them on the Today show and was hoping I'd get a Squid Tour. Thanks! And ummm do we get to see the finished weaving now or should I anticipate until fall?
