Bryan's Bridge is finished!

It has taken a long time, but the bridge construction is finally finished.
The photo above is the old bridge. The area was flooding, the road was uneven.
Cement was crumbling and water was eroding the supporting structure.
There was debris under the bridge too, as many kayak and canoe users found out.

After almost two years, the work is done. The bridge was raised, drainage was added.
A new road surface is now in place. It was a big job involving cranes and heavy machinery.
Living in the area, it became inconvenient to drive that way, but it's over and done!
I hope the people who decorated the bridge (Sayville Garden Club?) each December, do so again.

Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing you all a very happy Thanksgiving...

End of Summer

This is the time of year for sunflowers, and there is always a sad feeling knowing that summer is coming to an end.

Fishing off Long Island

The Jenna Lynn II, out of Connecticut, is fishing off the shores of Long Island.

We took a sailing adventure to Block Island and saw this on our return.

The gulls racing over us in the sky were the first clue that something was happening ahead. 

We soon saw the Jenna Lynn II!
