Ashore in charming Essex, first time ashore in two days. Was a bit lazy around Lloyd's Neck and not really possible in the Thimbles - did not get the dinghy over the side. Connecticut River shoreline is lovely. Last here 1980!
Seems like that should be an "oops".
From Scott & Kitty's place in Shorefront Park. So many houses so close together! Got to power plant gate.

From Playland to AYC on Forest & Van Wagen - dropped rental car in Port Chester & got a ride to Playland from Enterprise. Walked around Wainright House to see it as well as harbor views. Did not realize it was available for use/visiting. I've known it since the 50s - and back then, I thought it was private but it was turned over to other than private home use in the early 50s.
Visited Marshlands Conservancy in the afternoon which is on a map made by Ed Hicks. Wished I'd had time for a run.

BHS around 5:45, still hot at 84F. BHS groove for the time being as it is simple. Met the same woman I talked with last night on the track. This time at Turee.
Also last night I had a most interesting conversation with 3 men (in their 50s) shooting in Nottingcook at the so-called target range, an encounter nothing like I expected.
