Gary Mower's Mystic Meet is always a pleasant weekend. This was a cool and bright two days. The Yankee Chapter tent is pitched between the stationary engine area and the docks...a very nice position. The Seaport supplies a great old stable work boat to put your motor on and take friends out for a spin on the Mystic River. The Seaport is a wonderful place to set up and they are gracious hosts, they even give the exhibitors free passes to ride the Sabino, Mystic Seaport’s 1908 coal-. fired, wooden steamboat, which is also a National Historic Landmark! |
