Dagny, another of the fine small communities that dot our CT shore line. Westport is just a bit different, however.

Hi Dagny....Westport looks a lot like Victoria, but we're not as Old 1639 Wow, about the Time I think Henry Hudson was looking for the North West Passage. There is something calming about looking at waer.
