When I had my place in Westbrook I'd fish stripers out at Valiant Rock North of Montauk. Sometimes I would chase them up the Thames in Groton. Get too close to Electric boat and I swear you've never seen so many RIBS with 60s mounted on them surrounding your ass.

Is it just me or is she swinging that bottle like a baseball bat?

Doesn't seem safe to me, but whatever floats her boat or dives the sub in this case. :D
