It's a recent video of the West Haven, Connecticut, shoreline, much of
which has been redeveloped over the years into public access parkland. I
spent most of my summers on the beaches between West Haven and Milford,
and the rest of my summers on the beaches across New Haven Harbor in
Branford.

Nice. I've sailed up and down that coast more times than I can
remember but have never seen it with that kind of detail.
One of my best friends grew up in New Haven. He worked on boats most
of his life, ending up with a tonnage license and running a 50sumpin
Bertie for a rich guy. Summer in Annapolis and winter in Ft
Lauderdale.
When he got married his wife said his sailor days were over and I got
him a job at IBM. He retired a couple of years ago.
I imagine all of you NE guys could get together and swap sea stories
about that area.
I do that almost every day with my New Haven area friends...sea stories
and land stories.
The boat in the vid, btw, is an oyster dredger,
probably based a few miles west up the coast, in Milford harbor.
