Posted by Zac on Wed Jul 29 21:50:38 2015, in response to fire island ferry - ocean beach, posted by ntrainride on Wed Jul 29 08:50:44 2015. One Columbus Day weekend a few years ago I absolutely had to get to my office on Monday. I went with the family out to Davis Park for the weekend, but the only ferry leaving was going to be from The Pines on Monday, the Davis Park boat wouldn't run until 11. So I woke up at about 5am and started walking, with my computer in the bag and I didn't realize how hard it would be to walk in the pitch black, in the sand, all the way over with a computer hanging around my shoulders. Every time I had done that before was just a slow casual walk, but I needed to walk briskly. I started out on Burma Road, a sandy path behind the dunes, made it to Water Island, a small group of houses with some boardwalks, and then along the ocean to the Pines. I was exhausted by the time I got there. Then I took the ferry, a taxi, and the LIRR to Hunterspoint, where I caught the 7. |
