Thank you everyone for your kind words for Jen. I did relay the message to her. Well yesterday I got to spend the day on my fishing boat. Wasn't doing oysters but gathering none the less. Three town promote a program called river cleanup. It is where we collect trash and debris along the riverbank. The three participating towns were Shelton, Stratford and Milford. Not sure how much the Milford or Shelton Crews picked up, but I know what we did in Stratford. My boat hauled four loads of garbage. The deck of my boat is 20 feet long and 9 feet wide. Three feet high. Gives you an idea how much I had on there. Anyways we had 83 people sign up for the cleanup, even though it was a raw day with some nasty east wind we did good. They had already removed a large quantity of trash from the pile we had made, but it kept coming in. we didn't finish until 4 pm so it was a very long day. I am glad we did get what we did, but there is still soo much more to be done. Only problem is now the birds will be nesting, and we can not get near them to do the clean-up. Almost every oyster boat from the marina was out there. I believed it was a good thing and am glad I did it.
