Hi,
Just an update for those planning or considering attending this years
gathering at the Mystic Seaport.
The town of Mystic is holding a "Riverside Food Festival" that same
weekend. Live music and food from over 30 restaurants. Entry is free,
food tickets are $1 each!
The festival will be at
Also, especially for those who may be arriving Friday, New London Harbor
(Thames River) is 5 miles west of the Mystic River. The parade on Friday
should be a treat. In years past, the parade has exited the Thames River
and made a large loop out into the Long Island Sound before going back in.
If anyone plans to do this, Thames Yacht Club (my home base) has transient
moorings and dock space. One would presumably be able to watch the parade from
the club (although I have never been around for this event). Dave

The "parade" really takes place outside the mouth of the river. They
gather near the Ledge Lighthouse around 12:30 - 1 pm, and go from there.
It is quite a spectacle. Bring a camera!
