Beach combing and hiking around the tip of Sandy Hook after tropical storm, Ophelia spun in for the second time. A place where land and sea are confused in turmoil during increasingly turbulent storms. Littoral currents wash north, bringing sand and debris from the south to the last strand of sandy beach on the Jersey Shore. We parked at Area "M" and hiked out to the inside bay area through dunes, past a tidal estuary, rolled up our pants and forded a fast rushing rivulet to reach the point with a channel buoy washed up, then around the point, along the beach to a fully rigged stranded thirty foot "J" Class sloop heeled over, high and dry. Sea and air were in the mid sixties with NNE winds. Fishermen caught fluke and spot along the shore. The fish were hungry after sulking during the storm. It was the last day of fluke season. Fishermen had their way with large keeper fluke. Everything comes together out on the tip of the Hook. It's always an exhilarating adventure to explore this place.
