You can scratch Cornfield Point off the list. For the second time this month I have been thrown out of there at dusk by the beach association president and the Old Saybrook police. There are now five large boulders blocking the parking spot. This includes the handicapped parking spot.
I would urge anyone who reads this to contact Senator Art Linares and First Selectman Carl Fortuna to respectfully request the boulders be removed and access reopened. I believe that the shore access and improved parking was federally and state mandated as just that, a public shore access spot.
I have contacted Senator Linares, Mr. Fortuna's office, Senator Richard Blumenthal, Senator Chris Murphy and Governor Malloy. It's our resource, not the beach associations.
Behold the fisherman. Mighty are his preparations. He arises early and full of hope. He fishes all day and returns late in the evening, smelling afoul, and the truth is not in him.
