The Connecticut River!

	The light at the outer breakwater
	Inner light at Lynde Point, Saybrook, with the marina complex in the background. There is an easily accessible fuel dock there, a full service marina, and a world class resort hotel and spa for the ultimate in luxury stops.
	Texaco fuel station at Old Lyme Dock on the eastern shore before the bridge with the biggest flag we've ever seen! The horses on the lawn of the house beyond are full sized statues. Really, they are!
	Bridges between Saybrook and Essex
	Markers along the river, this one just before approaching Essex
	The anchorage at the colonial town of Essex
	Two-chimney Georgian home tucked into the marshes and the lush summer landscape.
	Boat nestled along the shore below cliffs.
