    If anyone finds a gold necklace with a Jewish Chai and a silver looking watch on that jetty, it’s mine. Lost it back in the summer of 1970 while swimming off the end. The tide rose and I lost them. Small reward if found….

    Looks like some very isolated place in Antarctica

    I used to fish for Blues in between the two islands that are just to the left of the jetty. Wade into the warm summer water at mid to low tide and cast into the baitfish schools they’d drive into shore. I love that spot.

    When was that jetty built and by whom?

    Got the worst sun burn in my life one April day using the jetty as a wind breaker! Love that place :}

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the Aurora Borealis manifested itself a few moments later.

    Terrific photo of a very special place. ..I have fond memories of the jetty and of compo

    Ahhhh! I am truly moved!

    This place, I’ve grown up with, so familiar.

    Yet, this image is also so otherworldly …

    … like a dream I once had, of the coast, where the shadows are unreliable, the sea is peculiar, and the horizon … pensive.

    I’m waxing poetic – old-soul sailor here.

    One of the best Westport coastal images ever. Thanks for posting Dan!

    And thanks to Patricia McMahon – keep on doing THIS!!
