After seeing some great Milky Way shots by the Long Island Sun Chasers last week I set my alarm for 4:30 a.m. this morning and headed for the East Side of Moriches Inlet hoping for some nice dark skies. I had mild success and will post those images tomorrow. I waited until Sunrise for a quick drone flight to get an overview of the recent shoaling on the East side of the inlet.
This is my third flight since March 18th and I think you can see that the sand that had been building inside the inlet is slowly dispersing. I would guess that much of it will end up either on the bar outside the inlet or the channels inside. Either way it is still going to make navigation sketchy.
In case you missed it, check out these earlier features showing how dynamic this area this:
