Tornado?

The past week has been good for our souls! We’ve been anchored back on the Mystic River behind the museum. We are seeing the affects of Covid on cruising. Last year, this area was packed with boats and now we have the place to ourselves.

Tourism is down in the area also. They are practicing social distancing and wearing masks. Bars in restaurants are closed. Dining is outside or carry out. A new donut shop opened in town called “Young Buns”. Worth checking out!

It’s nice to have the opportunity to test systems and work on the boat at a leisurely pace. We had to rearrange the contents in the boat since Eric felt it was listing to starboard. We now have everything neatly tucked away. Eric gave me three small pieces of wood for deep storage. The next day, he came up with a use for the wood. For the life of me I couldn’t remember where I hid them. After emptying every locker, I found them in the last place I looked. Behind the trash, under the sink.

Today around 5, an alert came over the phone for thunderstorms with heavy winds @ 60 knots and possible tornados in the area. The anchorage was very shallow with a soft mud bottom. We were trapped by a drawbridge with no open water to run to. Eric made the decision to move Thistle to the docks at Mystic Seaport Museum. Currently, it looks like the worse of the storm will pass by us. Since we are currently crashing, tomorrow we will have to settle up with the dock master.
