Did another 5k at the North Haven Irish Festival. Nice (very) flat and winding course beginning and ending at the fairgrounds. Weather was great - about 73 degrees and sunny. Improved a little (33:00)

Clinton
June, 2007

Experience

Repeatability

1st outing of the year. Went out of Clinton Harbor to Southwest reef - fishing for stripers using live eels. Beautiful day; sunny, seas < 1 foot and wind < 5 knots. Caught 2 decent sized bluefish and 1 25" striper (too small to keep). Lost a bunch of rigs though, lots of lobster pots in this area.

Fished out of Clinton harbor around Southwest reef. Going mainly for stripers but also blues. Mostly 3-waying eels off the bottom during drifts over dropoffs. Good day with several decent stripers.

Sleeping Giant Park
May, 2007

Experience

Repeatability

Took the dog again to hike up sleeping giant. Entrance across the street from Quinnipiac College in Hamden Ct. Nice wide, winding gravel trail to the top (about 30-45 min) where there is a small castle and clearing. Took a marked trail through the woods back. Got a little lost but found our way back no problem when we hit a road.

Chatfield Hollow St Park
April, 2007

Experience

Repeatability

Took the dog and went on a short hike at Chatfield Hollow park (Killingworth - off Rte 80). Actually more of a long walk around the paved parts of the park. Trails were muddy due to recent rain. Beautiful day. A little crowded since it was opening day for fishing and the streams/lakes were just stocked with trout (i think).
