STEWART'S ISLAND

the first job i had with the SLT was as the first steward of Stewart's Island :) i'm reminiscing about this because, since more stewards have joined me there, i have been reassigned to one of our larger properties, Mahoney C-R.  the island is accessible by foot at low tide in the summer, or more commonly by boat.  kayakers have the opportunity to circle the island at high tide.  job's cove, between the island and the mainland, is home to an osprey nesting pole and loads of birds and marine life.  i would go in my 13' whaler towing my avon, drop a hook just offshore, and row in the inflatable into the cove or to the shore and disembark.  i always enjoyed these excursions!
