~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the middle of the Peconic River there lies a small, private wooded sanctuary called Robins Island. The water flows around this quiet island out into the great Atlantic Ocean. Like the waters of the Peconic, the cables of this hat meander along its length with a soothing symmetry, creating a classic, unisex cap or slouch.

The cable patterns are both written and charted.
