I hope my perspective is an interesting way to promote the U.S. Wayfarer “You know, as helm I decide what you do, right?” Association because sailing these boats is such a good “What are you getting at, Nick?” reason for us to keep getting together. “You are going to take over from me as Vice Commodore.” And so began another day of sailing with Nick. COMMODORE COMMENTS Jim Heffernan, W1066, W2458 An organization such as the USWA is made up of volunteers who take on projects and events and those that serve as officers or committee members. The Wayfarer Class and the USWA have been very fortunate since the mid sixties to have Nick Seraphinoff involved in both areas as a skipper of numerous Wayfarers, organizer of regattas, importer of new Wayfarers, Class promoter and until recently, Vice-Commodore. The Class continues to grow throughout North America due to his efforts over the past seven years.

BROODSTOCK ATLANTIC SALMON. Salmon stocking began during the third week of October (in Mount Tom Pond in the west and Crystal Lake in the east); later than anticipated because water temperatures were too warm during September and early October. This fall, the Fisheries Division will stock close to 1,020 Atlantic Salmon broodstock (up from 852 in 2018). The last of the post spawn stockings (approximately 220 salmon in all), will be completed in mid- December. These later stocked fish were all be stocked into the Naugatuck and Shetucket rivers and they average 7-10 lb./fish with some even larger (up to 15 lbs. Most of the 799 salmon stocked earlier this fall were age 2+ weighing between 2-5 lbs. each. In total this fall, Crystal Lake (Ellington) and Mount Tom Pond each received 50 fish; and close to 460 salmon will be stocked into both the Naugatuck Shetucket rivers. TROUT STOCKING. Low flows and warm early fall water temperatures hampered fall stocking efforts in rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds throughout the State. Nonetheless, approximately 79,500 (compared to 55,700 last fall) trout were stocked this fall; including 1,000 trophy-size Survivor Brown Trout, 2,250 trophy-size Cortland Brown Trout, 12,000 trophy-size Rainbow Trout, 3,000 fingerling (7 inch) Survivor Brown Trout, 700 trophy-size Brook Trout (average 3 lbs.), 3,000 adult Survivor Brown Trout, 57,550 adult Rainbow, and a mix of 36 large Broodstock rainbows and browns (approx.
