A Tour with Long Island’s Baymen
Last weekend Long Island Traditions held their annual Boating with the Baymen tour and I was lucky enough to have remembered to buy tickets. (I kicked myself plenty for missing it last year.)
The 3 hour tour (I know what you’re thinking, and we did not get stranded) took place on the Lauren Kristy, a stylized paddle boat that I’m sure many of you have seen cruising the Great South Bay, and gave us an inside look at the lives of the baymen and others who make their living on or near the bay.
This event, one of several held throughout the year, is part of Long Island Traditions’ efforts to preserve maritime and farming culture on Long Island.
