FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While New York is suffering one of the coldest February's on record during this 2015 winter. There have been numerous stories of the waterways in Manhattan and out on Long Island being frozen over. So being that I only live fifteen minutes from the south shore of Long Island's waterfront I decided to take a ride this past weekend and get some photos of just how bad and how really cold this winter has been. When I arrived at the Nautical Mile in Freeport, New York located on the south shore of Long Island I could not believe what I was seeing. The Nautical Mile is known in New York as one of the most popular fishing areas in the state year round. At this time of year any private charter fishing boats or party fishing boats would be going out and catching cod and ling. But when I arrived there was no boats going on because they cannot break through the ice that has there ships frozen into their slips. Some captains that I spoke to said for safety reasons they have pulled their boats out of the water and winterized it and will put them back in around the end of March in time for flounder fishing. Just to give an idea of how thick the ice is I was standing on it and was about ten feet from the dock where a boat would have been when I took this photo. I stayed around the area taking various shots not believing what I was seeing and there was not one boat moving out or coming in, as the waterways leading out to the ocean are completely frozen over.
