Smith Point, new sand!
The beach is covered in light-and-fluffy new sand... and in huge tyre tracks. Part of the result of the Moriches Inlet dredging. Big Caterpillar earth-movers near the dog-friendly entrance to the beach: two cranes/diggers far in the distance to the east.
The sun was shining; temperatures way above freezing. Snow melting, icicles vanishing. A few icy patches floating in the bay. Breeze fresh and not making your face feel like it's falling off.
Fury ran and ran, even went into the water. Then slept as soon as we returned home.
I know it's only early February, but this past week felt like spring. It won't be long!
