Caught in a Rip Tide Shelter Island July 21, 2014 Dear Editor, I am a Shelter Island resident who had the pleasure of swimming at Indian Wells Beach last Thursday as the guest of an East Hampton friend. I grew up swimming in the ocean in Seabright, N.J., and consider myself a competent ocean swimmer, so, after checking with the lifeguards as to how long they were on duty, I plunged into the water. It was a perfect temperature, clear and clean, and with waves fun to dodge.
