Wrong Weekend to Camp on Long Island?

*26 Aug 2011- UPDATE. Saturday PM and Sunday ferry service was cancelled, which means if I went to the wedding I'd be stuck in a tent, on an island, in a hurricane, until Monday. So I have to cancel. SIGH. Sorry Catherine and Andrew! You'll just have to stay married for a while so I can toast your blissful union another time.**



My friends Catherine and Andrew are getting married this Saturday in Greenport, NY, on the North Fork of Long Island. Being a cheapskate I opted to reserve a campsite instead of a hotel room there for my date and myself. Now it's looking like that may not have been the best idea, on account of Hurricane Irene. You know it's a real threat when you start to see magenta and fuschia on the iWindsurf forecast...







I can't imagine our ferry back across Long Island Sound will run if it's blowing 60+ mph.
