		<description><![CDATA[A couple of  weeks ago after the Boating with the Baymen tour I had some excellent soft shell crabs and steak at Fatfish in Bay Shore.

		<description><![CDATA[Blues skies, potted plants, and beach umbrellas are all signs of summer on Long Island. Lately, though, the weather hasn’t been summer-like at all.
