Fermentation Stopped

A little history.
Various grains-Crystal 90, Flaked Maize, Munich, Roasted Barley.
6.5 lbs Munton's amber malt
Bullion Hops
Windsor Brewing Yeast
Starting gravity was 1055
I finished brewing as per the instructions and pitched the rehydrayted yeast when the wort reached 74f at about 2pm on 10/26. This morning (10/27) I found the airlock clogged and the top of the fermenter lifted up on one side. I popped the top all the way and covered the wort with my clean brew pot lid while I cleaned things up. The temp of the brew was about 77f. I put the cover and airlock back on and put the fermenter outside to cool down to to about 69f. Now the airlock lets loose with a little bubble only every 40 seconds or so.
Since then there has been no activity and the gravity has been 1021 for the last two days. Should I pitch more yeast, wait longer or rack it? I'm starting to worry.
