As many of you know, the Sayville Ferry suspended service for the past few days. I wanted to give you a couple of updates.
First, I'm happy to report that the FIMI project is continuing. After a short interruption, dredging will restart this afternoon. Happily, the completed parts of the beach restoration show little to no erosion. The western areas of the beach, where restoration has not yet been completed, have unfortunately had some erosion.
Elsewhere in the Pines, there is also some flooding in the marina area and along Fire Island Boulevard. We have not received reports of any damages to homes. Residents have been out and about the past few days. The Pantry remains open.
While Sayville Ferry has suspended service, Fire Island Ferries is running boat service from Bayshore to the Pines. The cost to charter a boat is $250 for the first 6 people and $17.50 for each additional person. If you are interested in booking a boat, call the Fire Island Ferries directly at 631-665-8885.
