🌱 Southampton Daily: Leak From Half-Sunk Vessel + Summer Festivals

Good morning, neighbors! It's me, Diane Witek, your host of the Southampton Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly cloudy. High: 62, low: 55.

Here are the top stories today in Southampton:

1. On Friday, police said fuel was leaking from a half-sunk vessel in North Sea. Police said the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the United States Coast Guard's spill response units were there to assess and contain the spill. Circumstances surrounding the sinking of the 37.5-foot recreational vessel are still being investigated, police said. (Patch)
2. Summer is right around the corner on Long Island, which means it’s time to get ready for festival season. Summer events kick off with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels at the Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach. Here’s a roundup of more must-attend festivities coming to Nassau and Suffolk counties in the coming months. (Subscription: Newsday)
3. Supermoon alert! Sunday and Monday the first of two total lunar eclipses will be visible to New York residents, it will turn May's full flower moon blood red. According to NASA, the partial eclipse starts at 10:28 p.m. EDT. The moon's face will gradually get darker until fully covered at 12:11 a.m. Monday.
