The wind was showing its strength today, as wind surfers flew 10 feet in the air and sea gulls only pretended to be in control while flying. The tide had come up very high yesterday from the storm because the shoreline was swept clean this morning of garbage and debris. It was like Mother Nature had run a vacuum all up and down the beach, leaving just smooth sand and rocks. My new stair case remained intact, even though I could tell the water had come up to touch it. I am so glad it's still there because I couldn't take the loss right now. I love my new stair case. I saw a few piping plovers running along the water today and there are still horse shoe crab shells washing ashore every day. That's my report from Smithtown Bay...
