Mystic Dreamboats

By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft

The American Dream of Owning a Boat

I enjoyed watching the Mystic drawbridge go up a few weeks ago. When it's up, it stops traffic on Route 1, the legendary highway from Maine to Key West.

Think of the next three photos as a slow-mo movie.




Now begins the parade of boats.

I'm not envious of this power boat, but...

Here's double envy of these sailboats.

Now I'm really in trouble, looking at this beauty.

A catamaran, a double-hulled boat, passes through.

This is the Argus, and you can go for a spin down the Mystic River anytime you want. Floating down the river is fascinating. The degree of picturesqueness makes you want to take pictures and create a calendar! How about you? What rivers have you floated down? Comment below.
