I'm always glad I'm not in traffic on I-95 in CT. I do love the small towns of CT though. I like New London, Groton, Gales Ferry, Mystic, Stonington, Norwich, Jewett City, Voluntown, Lisbon, Plainview, and many more. It's a beautiful state with lots of good memories for me.
I "boated" out of Subbase Groton in the '60s and '70s. The boat I rode didn't belong to me though as yours belongs to you. My boat could cross the Atlantic and dive deep under the surface and stay submerged for months. Your boat was probably more fun though.
