A man lost his wedding band a couple of days ago out at Jones Beach, Field #2, and after reading his wife's appeal for help, I thought I would give it a shot. We have had massive flooding throughout Westchester County, NY, on top of the Hurricane. Today was the first day all the Parkways were open for me to get out to Long Island.
My gal and I got to Field #2 (which was closed) about an hour before low tide. She dropped me off and I walked in while she went East to Field #6. I had to walk about 1/8th-of-a-mile through 2'-deep water that had completely flooded Field #2 to actually get out to what was left of the beach. It is basically just a big sandbar, completely cut off from the mainland. I hope you can see it in the first photo. I'm standing out on the beach, looking back at Field 2 in the top photo. The bottom is looking west, out to sea.
The waves were extremely big, and the riptide was incredible. I went down TWICE in just knee-to-hip-deep water! When I wasn't in the water, the black flies swarmed me. I gave it my best shot for three solid hours. Maybe the guys will have better luck - and conditions tomorrow. The second photo shows Field #4, which was only partially flooded, and my meager finds.
At least we had a beautiful day at the beach. I paid for it though. I feel beat up, bruised and disappointed. Next Time!
