Once a year, members of the Southold Town Board visit Fishers Island in mid-August for a town board meeting, traveling on a special ferry out of the Plum Island station in Orient. The day started with high humidity but cooled with a breeze and slightly overcast sky on the ride back. Participants enjoyed hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch before the meeting at the Fishers Island School.
