Wethersfield, CT., Racie. In my younger years I worked on the New London ferries to Long island and Block Island on my off time in the Merchant Marine. (Marketing idea, Block Island!) Moosylvania is our fictitious summer home.
I made more money on the dang ferries then on oil tankers. 4 months on, 2 months off and all of it was many hours, days, weeks and months of sheer boredom broken up only by moments of sheer terror, lol. Live and learn sorta thing, there.
In the events section, some of us are talking about a ride/picnic thing this July.
