Spending most of July this year on Fire Island — a narrow, pencil-shaped island without any cars (we get around by bicycle). It’s about 4 miles off the coast of Long Island, New York. The island is beautiful and teeming with deer and red fox peeking out curiously from around the beach heather, highbush blueberry and lavender. Dinah (GCH Blackthorn & PatchMT Thru the Looking Glass OA OAJ) and Geordy (GCH A Place in the Sun for Bellwether and PatchMT) experienced their first ferry ride, first romp on the beach and first taste of saltwater.
