My wife and I spent a wonderful afternoon visiting family in Connecticut and, after a great lunch at the Brewport Brewing Company, we drove over to Southport Beach to take a very chilly walk along a rock jetty on the Long Island Sound.
It was mostly sunny today and, as you'll see, the tide was out.
Yesterday, the high temperature in Central New Jersey was in the mid-60s ℉, and just 24 hours later at Southport Beach in Connecticut the day's high was only 32 ℉.
Excerpt from the Fairfield Connecticut Parks & Recreation web page:
This marina pumps air from below in an attempt to prevent the surrounding waterway from freezing, as I believe the Long Island Sound and some of its many tributaries are somewhat brackish.

Sounds like a nice walk. What is that thing in the first picture? Shells stuck together? I have never seen anything quite like that

It was pretty cold and windy but, yes, it was a nice afternoon for a shore walk. And you're correct, its a grouping of shells that are fused together. Thanks for stopping by!!!

I wondered what they were going to do with those boats if it keeps getting cold. Very interesting about pumping air.

The tri-state area (i.e. NJ, NY, CT) has had the worst cold spell in over a decade. Weird that yesterday we suddenly have temps in the mid 60s, go figure!!!

Yes it was nice to be near the water and see all the ice breaking up. You could see clear across the Long Island Sound and actually see the shores of Long Island in the distance. We were looking across to Huntington Bay which is about 10 miles away.

I agree with @chelsea88, on first glance, that 1st picture looked like someone holding an old gnarly hand from something I was sure would reach up and grab my leg from under the bed when I was 7 or 8. Hence the 'leap' to the hallway toward the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Looks like a fun day out. Those ice pallets are amazing, and I never knew they bubbled away the freeze potential below boats. Is it big pipes laid under the water?

We drove to Southport just to look at all the multi-million dollar mansions along the Connecticut shoreline. Must be lot s of CEOs, hedge fund managers, and the like. So it doesn't surprise me that they'd be able be architect a way to keep the boat lanes ice free. I'm guessing it's a series of underwater piping that's driven by an air compressor.

Wow - the tide was way out! I wonder how long it took you to warm back up again! I wonder how often they really need that bubbler. Do folks around there harvest the mussels, like in your first photo?
