Eclipse stays put today, and my friend Roger and Collette, his wife, who we visited with at the end of May, pick us up and we share the day at the Mystic Seaport Museum. What an amazing place. In addition to historic and period boats, they have extensive shop facilities for repairing and rebuilding wooden boats of considerable size, where the Mayflower II is currently under restoration. They have set up a rope walk, cooperage, chandelry, and a display of art on boats including figureheads.
And we're constantly looking at the upcoming weather. Florence is playing hard to predict. And the remains of Gordon wash across the midwest. Different prediction models with different assumption parameters produce different scenarios especially this far away from the center of the storm.

Back at Eclipse for dinner, after picking up shrimp and flounder at a local seafood purveyor, we add a salad and enjoy the evening with Roger and Collette.
