Bicycles in various stages of repair and disrepair are the preferred mode of transportation in Montauk. The house that Amy has lived in for nearly ten years is called "Captain Dusty's" because it belonged to the captain of a charterboat called, strangely enough "Captain Dusty." The evidence of his work is all about the property, with fishing poles in the basement, and an engine block up beside the house, and lobster buoys on the fence. He raised a family there, and his daughter is the one who rents it to Amy and her friends. It is her favorite place in all of Montauk.
Yay, the bike and house! It's such a great old place. The boat that Dusty captained was actually called "Little Bear," but he was a true captain, so that's why we call this place his (it's Captain Dusty's house). Next up for the place, though: Some beach bikes that actually work. :)
ReplyDeleteInvite some guy who has a tool box full of bike tools, and your wish will come true... :-)
ReplyDeleteYou had a great summer, for sure! The 'bike guy ?' sounds too good to be true!
ReplyDeleteMe and my father used to fish with Dusty on the old Riptide out of Fishshangrila. They were poker buddies.
