Sailing a Catboat - Mayflower II - Exploring a Seaport Village - Mystic Seaport, Conneticut

Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic Connecticut is the largest maritime museum in the United States. It houses a variety of exhibits, such as shipbuilding, 19th century navigation and figureheads. It also has a planetarium, children's discovery room, art spot, toy boat building and working historic seaport village to explore. Currently Mystic Seaport is restoring the Mayflower II, a historic vessel owned by Plimoth Plantation. Having just visited there, we were thrilled to see the boat as they restore it. The highlight for the kids was choosing a boat to ride (there are many to choose from) and getting a great lesson on how to sail a catboat. We stayed all day at Mystic Seaport and there was still so much more left to explore. This is a must visit for anyone in the area!

9 Great White Sharks Spotted Off Cape Cod Coast

Scientists have confirmed nine shark sightings in the Atlantic ocean, off the Cape Cod coast. Researchers from the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries are surveying the area off the coast of Cape Cod Bay in Massachusetts. According to Geek.com, the team of scientists is doing field work with a research vessel and with the help of a spotter pilot on Cape Cod Bay. They are gathering numbers and looking at shark hunting and feeding habits in hopes that more knowledge will help keep swimmers, fisherman, and surfers safer.
Greg Skomal, senior fisheries scientist with the state Division of Marine Fisheries, told reporters; The [sharks] were not close to shore. Skomal also noted that the peak season for sharks is still about a month away.
