The ferry operator currently serving Far Rockaway, Queens to Manhattan has been exploring the feasibility of water service from that beach area to J.F.K. Airport. They recently tried a "dry" run with twenty-five passengers representing local businesses and political officials. Unfortunately, the ferryboat went aground on an uncharted shoal which is not surprising since storm Sandy changed the configuration of the ocean bottom. After an hour of being stuck in the mud the passengers were removed to a fireboat and the ferry was to await the next high tide. This seemed to throw "cold water" on the enterprise and we will have to revert to the Van Wyck Expressway with its bumper to bumper frustration. But don't miss your flight - better to take a limo.
