\"Fishers<\/p>\n

It is Saturday, hot inland, and Long Island Sound beckons those who have the means to enjoy boating. It appears to us as if most of these folks are on our radar screen (shown above on an offset three mile range).<\/p>\n

The locals are doing chores,<\/p>\n

crabbing at the Yacht Club where we have tied up the dinghy,<\/p>\n
