Mill Cove in Gales Ferry

I alway have a camera with me, even if it is my little cheapie Kodak point and shoot. I couldn't resist taking a few more photos of sunset at Mill Cove in Gales Ferry. I'm sure these won't be my last shots there. 

Ledyard Parks and Recreation Commission

The Ledyard Parks and Recreation Commission has two openings. The Commission meets every fourth Tuesday of the Month. I started my service to the community on the Parks and Recreation Commission over 25 years ago and have some fun memories of my time spent there.  The commission is very non-political and with Director Don Grise as a guide, provides an outstanding service to the Town of Ledyard. If you are interested in serving, you may pick up an application at the Town Council office, located in the Ledyard Town Hall Annex.

Yale in Gales Ferry

Now the varsity quarters of the Yale Crew, this home in Gales Ferry Village was built around 1796. Since that time many additions have been added by the Yale Athletic Association. The building is used during training  for the annual Yale Harvard Regatta, America's oldest collegiate athletic competition, first held in 1852.

Mill Cove in Gales Ferry

Mill Cove is located off Military Highway in Gales Ferry, just north of the back gate of the Submarine Base in Groton.

Red skies at night, sailor's delight…
