We had but one reason for revisiting Main Beach in East Hampton over the weekend—we wanted to see if our favorite scorched old man was there. He was! Eating chicken salad from a Tupperware container all alone! But we're glad we did hit the waves once more. The tide was coming in, you see, and the wealthy families had to erect makeshift sand levees to protect their Martha's Vineyard towels and scattered copies of Hamptons Style. One found this the perfect opportunity to pay homage to the courage and resilience of their fellow Americans who were affected by Hurricane Katrina by inscribing "The 9th Ward" into their makeshift levee. Get it? New Orleans? 1,836 people died! Hilarious! Pass the Bloody Mary mix, Bunny, and move the beach chair, the tides comin' in! Amelia Bauer held the camera steady.
