The Sandspit Marina, In Patchogue is Closed!


(This sign, purchased by the Town of Brookhaven with your Tax Money, is used to deny you access to the Great South Bay, after Dusk. Please tell me that this is just an unfortunate mistake, made by a misinformed employee!)

My Saturday evening got off to a wonderful start, my wife and I decided to go out for dinner. After the meal, we decided to go down to the water to enjoy the quiet serenity of one of our most valuable resources, the Great South Bay.

We arrived at the Sandspit Marina at 7:45 PM; to my shock the entrance was barricaded! My wife and I were not allowed to enter the Marina. We were not allowed to go near the water, as we have been doing for over Fifty Years!

Traditionally there have been signs saying that the Facility was officially closed at dusk, but people were allowed to enter the Park. That rule was not strictly enforced! To my horror Two signs saying "PARK CLOSES AT DUSK," were blocking access to the Park.

What are our politicians smoking? They have eyes that cannot see! We the residents of Long Island tolerate the Humidity, and everything else Mother Nature can throw at us, because we enjoy the water!

Who in their infinite wisdom decided to barricade the Sandspit Marina at 7:45 PM. This is unconscionable! Our elected officials preclude us from enjoying a resource that we pay them to manage and protect. If the general populous considered the Sandspit to be a worthless liability, then the facility might best be sold to a developer!

This could not be farther from the truth; The taxpayers of Brookhaven want access to their treasured facility; the Sandspit Marina!

Politicians; get out from behind your varnished Mahogany benches! Get away from your Microphones, STAND ABSOLUTELY QUIET, and take a deep breath! Just think about what you have done!

    Only one of the reasons that they ALL must go this November. Not only have they lost all touch with the will of the people, they don't really seem to care. We need to start this Election day by dumping Foley and Bishop.
