The first circled for a while before landing on adjacent telephone pole (shadow of approach is quite visible in upper right background). Finally, the second osprey, after brief rest, launches as well. Congrats to both!!! Screen grabs by Vicki Rafferty.

Join us 4pm on Tuesday at the Fishers Island Theater for the benefit premiere of “The History of Race Rock Light” followed by a Champagne and Oyster reception.

This is an “in-person” event only that will not be presented virtually. Admission to the premiere is free, but we will be “passing the hat” for the benefit of the New London Maritime Society’s restoration and preservation plan for Race Rock Light. Susan Tamulevich, the director of the New London Maritime Society (NLMS), owner of Race Rock Light, and the Preservation Project’s architect, Walter Sedovic of Walter Sedovic Architects, will speak about the restoration project.
