It was a little damp in Milford, CT today.



But, what a great place to be on such a day. For a municipal marina with great weather protection, very friendly staff, and an interesting town within short walking distance, Milford goes right up into a tie with Hampton, VA.

This is now one of my half dozen favorite stops on the whole route.

That's got to be a relief. A quiet day free of mechanical drama.

It was a little damp in Milford, CT today.
You know how to pick a safe haven, Milford got an estimated 4"-5" of rain today, no where else was close, Groton, Noank, Mystic area received 0.03". New Haven only got 2.5".

Milford's a nice town. I grew up and learned to sail there. When I was a kid every morning I'd wlk to the beach and swim across the harbor to the yacht club. (Harbor master yelled at me every day for swimming in the harbor). Meet up with a couple guys and take our Blujays out for a sail. Sail out to Charles island and cookout, or sail over to Walnut beach. I had a old Bluejay and my father had a Star. Great times. I suspect Milford is much different than it was when I lived there in the 1950-60s.

Milford is a great place. We had the NE O'Day rOnDAYvous at the town marina in '07. Dropping the hook inside Charles Island is nice also. It is one of the anchorages my wife and I use if we are just doing short sails along the CT coast.
