Dear Mr. "highly unusual"

A few miles from the house in the middle of the river we have "City
Island" of which has the only boat ramp. Parking a vehicle or boat
trailer in the lot is $3. I obviously do neither. When I pull up and
tell them I won't be needing a parking spot I get a strange gaze from
the attendant. If he insists I tell him I'll be parking in the river
of which they eventually let me pass.

Three years ago after buying Amphi we were returning home from a
river outing at City Island and were listening to the radio when it
was announced that a car was spotted in the river, imagine that!
