  3. Daytrippers: Paddleboarding

         Suddenly this season, stand up paddle boards are popping up all along Connecticut's coast.  "From Hawaii to California to Florida and now, the last two years, there has been a surge in paddle boarding here and I think it's just going to grow more between this year and next," says Greg Echtman, who recently became an instructor.  "This year I decided why not make this a summer business.  So far, so good," he says, noting that he's been giving local folks lessons at several area beaches, including those in Old Saybrook.  An architect by trade, he's practicing his hobby after hours and on the weekends.  "It's just a great time on the water," declares Echtman.

  5. Daytrippers: Whale Watch

    The Privateer IV is docked in Gloucester, Massachusetts, one of the oldest seaports in the country.  It is a high speed vessel, owned by 7 Seas Whale Watch and, every summer, visitors flock to it's decks to travel out into the open waters in hopes of meeting majestic creatures of the sea.  Oftentimes, the boat heads for Jeffreys Ledge on the northern end of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary.  "It's a very biologically rich area and it's been recognized that it is an important feeding area for different species of whales," said naturalist Jay Frontierro, who has worked for 7 Seas for 22 years.  "Remember, this is a nature trip, so we're never sure what we're going to get," smiled Frontierro, noting that Humpbacks, Finbacks and Minke whales are the most common mammals to spy off the coast of the north shore during the warm weather.  But, "we sometimes see sharks," he added.
