ashore for camping in Connecticut during the summer?

Anywhere you don't get caught! My first cruising experiences were as a
teenager in the 1960's in various small, often wooden, and always
decrepit, sailboats. I would sail to "somewhere" and camp on shore.
Usually sans tent. If the weather was especially bad, I would unstep
the mast and turn the boat over for shelter. ...

Very cool. I grew up reading the Ransome books and Capt. Voss and so
on and have always had a romantic vision of small boat camping.

If I was going to try it now, I think I would find myself a Dovekie.
They seem ideal for that style of cruising. A little too big to drag
up into the bushes to hide it, though!

We used to know a couple from Manhasset Bay who were well known for
their "stealth camping" exploits in and around Long Island Sound.
They'd land somewhere with their back packing gear and just hide out
for a few days.

It's a lot of fun - or it was back when I was doing it. Things are a
lot more crowded now. I used to do something similar when riding
motorcycles. I would simply pull off the road behind available cover
at night. Nowdays, that might be kind of dangerous.
