Wednesday is Photo Day 2025

Mystic Seaport is a fascinating place, and I didn't even begin to poke around to my satisfaction.

There was a fleet of little beetle cats and catboat dinghies that we could take out, so I spent most of my day trying out their variety of offerings on the Mystic River.

A scaled model of the river let's you see how much has changed and what remains the same.

@Will Gilmore Mystic is a fabulous place. Happy to see the photos and that you are able to spend time there. Is the Morgan still there? If it is and you get a chance, I'd love to see photos. It was during the initial restoration of the Morgan that was my first exposure to Mystic.

As I'm on my phone I'm not sure if one of your photos was of the Morgan.

Yes, the Charles W. Morgan is here. It is currently hosting about 50 or so readers for a Moby Dick read-a-thon. One person reads aloud from the main deck while dozens sit around and follow along in their own books.

(Sorry, I was too occupied with looking, to take pictures while aboard ).

My son aboard his Mariner, Borgan Frog, formerly Dragonfly. He did an incredible job fixing what I had left for 10 years in my driveway waiting for me to get to. We became the first father/son duo to attend the annual Mariner Class Association's Connecticut Rendezvous each with our own boats.

I loved that museum during our NorthEastern visit.
