Most of the boats around here have already been taken out of the water.  I did find this one still at it's dock in Norwich. 

Private Dock

Mystic, CT  2015

I forgot to mention in yesterday's post that included in the price of that home is this lovely dock.  I don't think this dock is quite big enough for the yacht I would own, if I was able to afford the house.  So I won't be moving here in the near future.

Lift Dock Reflections

Mystic Seaport, Mystic CT

Reflected in this photo is  the Hays and Ros Clark Shiplift, completed in mid-2007.  It consists of 8 hoisting winches and has a total lifting capacity of 580 long tons which is more than adequate to lift any of the historic ships in the Seaport's collection out of the water.  Once the ships are lifted out, they can moved ashore on a system of rails to allow long term projects of maintenance and restoration.  I'm sharing this with Weekend Reflections .  Enjoy your weekend and thanks for looking. 

Dock Reflections

Mystic, CT

The water was so still this particular morning along the Mystic River that it afforded this near perfect reflection of this private boat dock.  For other outstanding reflections from around the world, please visit Weekend Reflections.  It's a holiday weekend here in the US so I'm hoping everyone has a great weekend, no matter where you may live.  Thanks for stopping by. 

Connecticut River Slips

Old Saybrook, CT

There are nice reflections even on very cloudy days.  I'm linking this to Weekend Reflections.  I hope it's warmer where ever you're at this weekend!

Empty Docks

Niantic, CT

It won't be long before each of these slips will be occupied by a boat of some sort.  In the absence of any boats, the posts did make for an interesting reflection.  You can find many more interesting reflections by visiting Weekend Reflections hosted by James.  Enjoy the weekend! 

Sunbeam Fishing

Niantic, CT

I don't live too far from downtown Niantic, which is the only village/town along the coast in Connecticut, whose downtown area is right on Long Island Sound.  Just a little east of the downtown area is the Niantic Rivera with its marinas and docks.  There are a number of charter fishing boats that operate out of the Niantic River but not during March.  I'm sure things will get real busy around these docks in another month or so.
