Erin and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend in Mystic, CT earlier this month where we explored the Mystic Aquarium, Toured the Mystic Shipyard, and caught a whiff of the famous Mystic Pizza downtown! We were sans kayaks on this trip but I captured this pair of paddlers floating into the Mystic at sunset! Cue Van Morrison!… -Kayak Dave
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows
I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows
I wanna hear it, I don’t have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic…
-Van Morrison “Into the Mystic”
