Bridget and
Peter enjoyed their two decades of summer
vacations at Long Beach Island ===> |
 |
 |
<<===
During the last six years at LBI, the Foys stayed
at the Ostrofsky house in Holgate, at the south
end of the island. All new housing must be
built on piles because of destructive storms which
occur in fall and winter.

<<=== The
most exclusive houses were built along the sand
dune. The Ostrofsky house was 1/2
block inland, but had ameneties including air
conditioning, which was needed for Mary's
asthmatic condition.

<<=== The
chief attraction at the north end of Long Beach
Island is Barnegat lighthouse built by George
Meade in the 1850s before he became a general for
the Union Army.

<<=== The
town of Barnegat is visible from the top of the
lighthouse, as is the gentle Atlantic shoreline.
The new house being built in the foreground is
indicative of the spurt of building activity for
summer homes.

Bridget and
Richard have taken up windsurfing. However,
concern for cameras precluded opportunities of
taking photos in high winds. ===>>

Long Beach
Island separates the Atlantic Ocean from Barnegat
Bay. For some reason, the spectacular
sunsets become the rule. ===>>
