Approaching from the west side
"Bill's Island" is located just south of Forge River near Fire Island
Bill Dana had this island made by Clarence's Penney & Ross for duck hunting. It's probably larger now than it initialy was
You can see photos of it from 1926 here
Looking north: That is Center Moriches across the bay to the right
Looking east
A COUPLE OF ISLANDERS ?
No Marty (in white) wasn't in the Islanders or any band I was in,,,,,, I don't think he ever played an instrument for that matter .....However Kenny was in the Del Fi's with me in 1963 and we played at the MB Yacht Club that New Years.
BUT WHAT ARE THE ODDS.......
That we go sailing up into the Mastic Beach Lagoon and Kenny says "Look who is there on the dock!" Amazing..... for right in front of the yacht club getting ready to go out on a boat with Ray Farmer was none other than Frankie O'Shea...Frankie & I were in the Islanders in 1962 and I had not seen him since then!!!
Frankie & Me 42 + Years after The Islanders
