		<description><![CDATA[I love a good storm, so as soon as the beaches were open I drove down to Robert Moses State Park to see what the surf was doing and if there was any damage to the beach. I wanted to climb the Fire Island Lighthouse for a bird&#8217;s eye view, but unfortunately that part of [...]]]></description>

I had heard about Greenport Harbor Brewing Company but didn’t think it was open yet.

Jake and Kevin of East Islip carry their fishing gear to the dock with a neat  little bike rack that they built themselves. Their custom rack carries 4 poles and a couple of tackle boxes.
