We arrived in Mystic Tuesday. After anchoring outside of town we decided to dinghy in and check things out. We found a great anchorage just north of the Mystic seaport past the Mystic River bascule bridge. It's a great town. Only 4000 residents but a real tourist town with a ton of people here this time of year. They have several free dinghy docks provided by the city so you can go anywhere you want. Lots of shops and wonderful seafood retaurants. We started having trouble with our chart plotter and had to buy a new chip from the local West Marine. That didn't fix it so Craig got on the phone with Raymarine and found we needed a software update. Well, we found a place here in town that would do it for us the next morning. So we took the dinghy up to the downtown dock and were going to walk the mile to the guys place when the bottom fell out! We ran for cover on a little porch by the docks and it really started raining hard! Soon there was cloud to ground lightening popping everywhere and the tornado sirens started going off! We just kind of stood there huddled in a corner of the porch hoping for the best! Pretty soon it slacked off and we made a run for a safer place. One of our anchored neighbors happened by in a truck and saw us and stopped and took Craig where he need to go. I waited for him downtown and he was back and ready to go in about 20 minutes. We were thrilled to have it repaired and the guy only charged Craig 20 bucks! It was also Craig's birthday and he considered that his gift! LOL! We are still here today but plan to leave early in the a.m. for Newport, RI. It's been in the low 80's today but supposed to be in the high 50's tonight! YAY!
