Hurricane Irene

[bobbert]

Hello Everyone!!
Greetings from sunny Sayville, on the south shore of Long Island. It is now 5:45 pm. Light breeze with gentle warm summer shower. Took boat out this AM in Dense fog and light rain and no wind.. Checked out Ocean at Schinnecock Inlet did not look that bad, one hour later I could hear surf from the dock, one mile away. Local gas stations OUT OF GAS last night around 9PM. Expecting delivery 4PM today. Ice in very short supply. If this storm materializes as predicted I would anticipate a break thru of the barrier beach. This morning when I took the boat out Dune Road had spots with 1" of water and rising.
Have necessary supplies on hand and look forward to seeing what the morrow brings.
Stay safe
