I agree and sat back hoping those snide comments weren't directed at me.I submit that your comment should read, So only the people lucky enough to own waterfront homes can boat?
Really shouldn't be making this a Class Warfare issue since it's not necessarily true. You should see some of the shacks and doublewides that are inhabited year round on the water up here. It's fair to say that few, if any, of the lobstermen who live on the water qualify as Wealthy or even upper Middle Class; they'll be getting a full payment of Corona Cash from the Federal Government...
IIRC, there used to be many less than opulent homes on the creeks and canals in Moriches too. A noted LI fishing author's parents had a dock on the creek in Mattituck with no house on it for many years. The patriarch worked for Brookhaven Town Road Department and after his retirement built a modest house on the property and sold the Miller Place home.
Roccus, you have no idea what the shoreline of Merrick tthrough Massapequa looks like now. Or what property taxes for waterfront in Nassau County are unless you are politically connected. Maybe Moriches, but most of the south shore "shacks" from the Rockaways to Bay Shore were removed by Sandy and if the property were not returned to nature, were resold and "mcmansions" were raised.I submit that your comment should read, So only the people lucky enough to own waterfront homes can boat?

When you're tempted to go out this Easter, remember this face.
This is the face of an ICU nurse.
This is the face of working 65 hours over the last 6 days.
This is the face of reality.
This is the face going through hell.
This is the face full of pressure damage from wearing PPE for almost 13 hours a day.
This is the face of someone who fears for her own health and all her colleagues, past and present.
This is the face of someone putting their life on the line for your families.
This is the face of someone who hasn't seen their own family for nearly a month.
This is the face of someone who holds your dying family members hand, so they're never alone.
This is the face of someone who is exhausted, but will continue to fight Covid-19.
This is the face of someone who will carry on, no matter what.
This is the face of someone who is proud to stand on the frontline with all key workers.
This is the face of someone who wants lock down to end.
This is the face that is begging you, to NOT go out this Easter weekend.
This is the face that is begging you to abide by the social distancing rules.
This is the face of an ICU nurse that is begging you: to stay inside, protect us, protect the NHS and help us save lives ?
