Mystic, CT 15 August 2007

After a couple of days of diagnosis related to our alternator we finally decided to get a new one installed. It was ordered yesterday and installed this morning. So we can make electricity and run our engine again. Our plan is to leave tomorrow morning for Block Island and then lay over until Saturday morning after yet another cold front goes through and then head to Cape May, N.J.
We spent the afternoon at Mystic Aquarium. It was quite a hike from the boat yard but well worth it. These beluga whales were fun to watch. Three of them gave us quite a show as they swam and splashed around in the tank, then they poked their head up for air and gave a squeak as they whizzed by us.

The penguins jumped off the rocks and swiftly made a bea- line toward us. They made sure they splashed us, flipping their tails and flippers in the air as they came up to the viewing area getting every one's camera wet!

I couldn't resist taking a picture of these beautiful sea anemones.

Before we left the aquarium we spent time watching the sea lion show.
