For those of you not in the know, I live on Staten Island (the forgotten borough of New York City), and, from my dorm room window, can see the Atlantic Ocean. And I'm not talking just a glimmer on the horizon--the North Shore is basically right at my feet, and the ocean stretches on and on forever.

There is a small island--apparently uninhabited, because I have yet to see a boat or lights there--right off the North Shore.

I desperately want to go there.

Field trip?
