CIRCUMNAVIGATION OF SHELTER ISLAND WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 2004 9:15 a.m. An hour after low tide, I launch my Old Town Otter from Crescent Beach. Striped bass break the surface just north of the beach near the bluff. The days first jellyfish begin to arrive in droves. The bay is flat as glass. Very few boats. A man and child mill around outside a house at the base of Whites Hill. 9:20 a.m. Right away
