First release in late summer 2003,Hurricane Rum was introduced

during the Hurricane season.This was done in honor of the

awesome storms that cause havocfrom the Keys to Nantucket.

Our rum is slightly over-proofed to match the

strength of nature's fury.

It is aged in bourbon casks imparting a wonderful golden color and distinctive whiskey flavor.

Hurricane Rum is truly small batch and difficult to find.

Ask for it wherever you buy spirits,and please enjoy with friends

in moderation.


EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Marsh

GunkholingGunkhole n. A shallow, protected sailing area, deep

enough for sailing, protected enough for pleasant anchor-ing. The term dates from at least 1908, when G. S. Wassonused it in “Home from the Sea” to describe pejoratively asmall fishing village.– “The Sailor’s Illustrated Dictionary” by Thompson

Lenfesty with Capt. Thompson Lenfesty, Jr.

Darrell McClure (1903-1987), unofficial CartoonistLaureate of the American boating press in themid-20th century, magnified the little gaffes we

recreational mariners regularly commit, thereby captur-ing the absurdity of the situations in which we sometimesfind ourselves. The creator of the“Little Annie Rooney” comic stripdid his good (and hilarious) boatingworks in “Yachting” magazine, andone of these works introduced me tothe concept of “gunkholing.”The cartoon portrayed a classic

1950s yawl clawing its way up anarrow waterway that could best bedescribed as a brook. Crewmembers,armed with saws and machetes areon the spreaders and in the rigging,hacking away at vines and branchesas the steadfast skipper – chiseledface expressing determination toreach a hallowed anchorage revealedin an ancient log – is viewed withcomplete disgust by his wife.About the same time – with the

evocative word “gunkholing” lodged, inactive, in a backalley of my brain pan – I received a true dream book forChristmas: the 1966 edition of “Cruising Guide to theNova Scotia Coast,” a creation of the Cruising Club ofAmerica and the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron.Near the end of that 17-ring-binder volume was a chapterfor St. Paul Island, 13 miles northeast of Cape Breton Is-land’s tip.“Apparently, you missed a spot in the northeast corner

of Trinity Cove . . . .,” read the entry from Dr. William A.Dickson, in response to a CCA member’s failure to findan anchorage. “Here, you can proceed into a flume 30 feetwide and 100 feet long, with rock cliffs rising from 50 to100 feet on either side. . . . You should take along spikeswith rings – i.e., mountaineering pitons – and you couldbridle your vessel bow and stern for an indefinite stay.”This imposed an exciting, new wrinkle on what I per-

ceived to be the critical gunkholing disciplines.

In the ensuing years, while I never reached St. Paul Is-land, I did practice the art of gunkholing in the unmarkedchannels of New England’s serpentine estuaries, windingaround sandbars, mudflats, mussel beds, and graniteledges to seek a quiet anchorage. And I once sought refugefrom a northeast gale in the lee of Northeast UtilitiesMillstone Nuclear Power Station in Waterford, Conn.(“Anyone entering Millstone Cove would be questionedand probably asked to leave unless it was an emergencysituation,” advised “A Cruising Guide to the New EnglandCoast”.) Under the circumstances, this gunkhole providedthe “pleasant anchoring” alluded to in Lenfesty’s defini-tion of the term.Friends took me to Nova Scotia’s idyllic Eastern Shore,

where one could gunkhole muchof the way from Halifax to CapeBreton, but my signature mo-ment in this pursuit came inNorth Carolina’s Alligator River.Milltail Creek – its entrancemarked only by rotted pilings onthe river’s eastern shore – leadssome four miles to the once-pros-perous (in the early 20th-century)logging and moonshining ghosttown of Buffalo City, wiped out inthe 1940s by cholera, typhoid,smallpox, the flu, and unemploy-ment. We had to try to get therein my 27-foot sloop. Entering the river through an

autumn-tinted canopy thatbrushed the mast and rigging

was like passing through a beaded curtain into the exoticback room of a Far East merchant. Red and yellow leavescolored the mirrored surface as paint would an artist’spalette. Our seven-horse diesel purred as we broke theglassy surface, bound up the creek. As the waterway nar-rowed, it occurred to us that the width of the waterwaywas about the same as the boat, and that turning aroundcould be a problem. But we were in gunkholing mode, and we’d make a de-

cision when we reached the next bend. Several “nextbends” later, a fallen tree mercifully ended our quest, bywhich time the creek appeared narrower than the lengthof our boat. After much laughter and reminders that thiswas not life-threatening – and that no one was looking –we backed and filled into the brush on either side untilwe were headed back out toward the ICW.Darrell McClure would have had a field day with that

“little gaffe.”

Entering through a canopy that brushed the rig-ging was like passing through a beaded curtaininto the back room of a Far East merchant.

Points East October/November 2013

The legacy of a famed solo sailorAt McGlathery Island, just east of Merchant Row,

Maine, this circa-1918 Seagoer yawl headed out on acalm summer’s day. This particular boat is, for somereason, four feet shorter than the home-built (report-edly for $1,000) 34-foot Seagoer, named Islander, thatHarry Pidgeon sailed around the world. Pidgeon, bornon an Iowa farm in 1869, was the second person to sailaround the world alone (1921-1925), after JoshuaSlocum.

Reunited with Judith JohansonWhat a treat to read Judith Johanson’s article,

“Cruising with Kayaks,” in the September Points East.Judy and her husband Brad taught me to drink coffee– black, the only real way to drink coffee, they told me– when I was in high school. He was my geometry teacher at South Portland

(Maine) High School, and their children, who latercrewed for them, were toddlers. Brad helped my familybuild a little boat in the basement. This was back inthe early 1960s. I had lost track of them since, and wasdelighted to read about their sailing adventures. Hats off to Judy and Vicki for carrying on the family

tradition. Please pass along my warm regards to Judy. Susan Orbeton Gilpin

Falmouth, Maine

Seeks data on Judy’s WhimbrelI read each issue of Points East, cover to cover, and

thoroughly enjoy it, but the September issue has anarticle, “Cruising with Kayaks” by Judith Johanson,that really resonated with me. We have a Coastal 27,Prime Time, and even though we live in New Jerseyand keep her here, we have done much the samecruise.With the considerable help of Dave Perry, the man

behind the Coastal line, I put together a “Genesis &Lineage of Prime Time.” This has resulted in beingable to identify, by hull number & current owner, abouthalf of the approximately 30 boats that were built. Therefore, I would very much like to be able to ask

Judith what the hull number is of her Coastal 27,Whimbrel, and also if she has the history of who ownedher and when. All of which is a long way of saying thatI would sincerely appreciate it if you could please putme in touch with Judith. Thank you, and please keepthis great magazine coming.

PerspectivesLet the lower lights be burning! Send a gleam across

the wave!Eager eyes are watching, longing, for the

lights, along the shore.Trim your feeble lamp, my brother, some

poor sailor tempest tossed,Trying now to make the harbor, in the

darkness may be lost. Philip P. Bliss, pub.1871

He was up before the rest of the familythat first morning of our stay in thelog cabin that faced northeast and

clung to the ledges on this magical island inSalem Sound. He and his sister slept on thetwo couches in the rustic living room with itsiron wood stove and small drop-leaf table by the fourwindows open wide to the sounds and smells broughtup from the crashing northeast swell. Who knows how well the children slept that night in

their strange and wondrous new surroundings, as allnight, with perfect regularity, the swath of the light-house’s broad beam invaded the living room and thendeparted just as suddenly, as if some flashlight-wield-ing giant was searching, searching, searching for a lit-tle boy and little girl. The giant seemed even closerwhen the noise came in the days to follow as the fogrolled in: BOOWAAAAAH, BOOWAAAAAH,BOOWAAAAAH came the great lighthouse’s moan.But there was no fog that first night, and the next

day dawned bright and clear as I awoke from a littleboy’s excited tug on my arm. “Dad, Dad, Mom, Mom,get up, get up. Get up and see that giant monster. It’scoming out of the sea,” 5-year-old Nicky said. Andthere it was, a beautiful sun rising out of the sea fromthe east. Only the top half was showing as I sat up andlooked out the window of the tiny bedroom whereMary Kay and I slept. “Get your little sister up to see it, too,” said my im-

mediately bright-eyed wife. “Yikes,” I said, “it’s getting bigger, coming our way.

Maybe we should make a run for it, hide behind thelighthouse.” Instead, Nicky stared, mesmerized for a few mo-

ments, as we watched the sun emerge from the sea.Then he cocked his head and gave me that confident,

knowing look of a soon-to-be kindergartner. “Dad, I think what it is, well, it’s only the sun, but it

just fell down a bit last night and is gettingup.” “Oh,” I said.“Anyway, it’s almost time to meet Mr. Moser

to raise the flag at the lighthouse,” he contin-ued, already on to the next adventure. “Hesaid to meet him up there to help. I’ll getAlli.” Off we went, climbing the trail through the

woods, past a couple of cottages nestled alongthe path, as we made our way to the highpoint of the island. And so began a week offlag raising and lowering rituals at the light-house. The mystery of the giant’s big noctur-nal beam of light faded, as did their fear of

the giant’s sound, as the children got to know the light-house. It took some diplomacy to manage whose turn it was

to raise and lower the flag halyard each day, but it wasultimately a fine lesson in sharing. There were otherlessons, too, as we settled into life on this 50-acre is-land with no electricity or running water. With its population of perhaps 50 during the sum-

mer weekdays, everyone was special and no one over-looked. And every act was intentional. Drinking watercame from the well, which was in the center of the is-land. That chore usually came after breakfast, whichwas pancakes on the rustic wooden deck, the burntpieces fed to either Hank or Stanley, the two residentseagulls. Then both kids would climb into the two-wheeled, wooden pushcart, along with our big, yellowwater jugs, and off we went like some characters in aThomas Hardy novel, headed up the path to the well.We played games along the way, guessing how manystrokes on the old iron well pump it would take to filleach container. And again we shared, taking turns asto who did the pumping first. Sometimes we saw a neighbor along our path and

shared island news precious to us in our new world,one that seemed far removed from the volatile eventsof an emerging Iraq-Kuwait war. The way back to thecabin was a rollicking roll down the path with a loadof 10 gallons of water and about 85 pounds of children.Back at the cabin there was one more chore, and we

made our way, with a large dishpan, down to find a

small tidal pool by thesea. Here we used theJoy soap we knewworked well in salt wa-ter, made lots of suds inthe tidal pool (and eventhrew a few clumps ateach other), and washedthe dishes from break-fast and the night before.Sometimes either Hankor Stanley came by, pa-tiently perched on a rockabove us in hopes of an-other pancake scrap. Later in the afternoon,

and after some readingor games on the deck, itwas time to head up tothe tiny island store insearch of The Holy Grail:candy bars. Due to Dadbeing a pushover in thisdepartment, Mom usu-ally took the kids on thisquest to monitor pur-chases, while I stayed onthe porch and settledblissfully into a stack ofold “WoodenBoat maga-zines. In the late afternoon

we took a family trip(usually with one or bothkids riding in the cart) around to the other side of theisland to meet the ferry. We weren’t meeting anyoneourselves, but this trip was, I believe, just to view anevent focused on arrivals from the outside world. Itgave us perspective. We realized we had no yearningto leave with the ferry; now, as “islanders” who hadlived on the mainland, there was no immediate yearn-ing for the world from which it came.

Faithfully, after dinner,as the sun began to re-cline, we made our wayup to the lighthouse tolower the flag. Oh, therewas a little squabblingabout whose turn it was,but little Alli reallywanted to catch the flagrather than lower it, soall was well. Then wesaid goodnight to the big,white giant and the kidsscooted off down the trailfor home, knowing Momand fresh gingerbreadawaited. I stayed awhile. They

knew their way by nowand I was not worried.Instead I enjoyed one oflife’s most magnificenttreats, free to everyone: aradiant sunset. No fogtonight, I thought. Thegiant will be silent. Onlyits beam will come, thereto lead the way, pouringlight across the water, toperhaps guide some hap-less soul. For the mo-ment, we were on theother side of that, I real-ized, ashore by the light-

house’s side and safe for now, in a life not filled with“stuff,” but filled with each other. We were finding ourway as a family, experiencing good lessons, in a worldwith a lot left to learn. Dave Roper’s book, “Watching for Mermaids,” which

climbed to No. 4 on the “Boston Globe” Best-Sellers List,is available through www.amazon.com. His new book,“Cloud 23,” will be out later this year.

GUEST PERSPECTIVE/Eric Nicker son

The pine plug and the gift of life

Dear Friends andFamily: Good morn-ing. It is Monday,

Dec. 5, and I am finally athome, having arrived homeat midnight on Sunday. Longstory short: We arrivedsafely on Thursday, Dec. 1,about 3 p.m., at Fat HogsBay. We sailed for the lastfour days. Light winds at theend. We were all happy to beashore.So you know we arrived, and everything is fine. If

you would like to know the details of why you haven’theard from Rob or me since last Tuesday, feel free toread on. It might be boring, but it was more than ex-citing to us. Wednesday, Nov. 23, I was on watch from 8-12

(noon); Mike took watch noon on. I was sleeping in mybunk, as was Dave, with Mike at the helm. The windwas blowing about 30 mph with 16-foot waves; we

were on a reach but poundingthe waves. About 2 p.m., Mikelooked down in the cabin andsaw my foul-weather bootsand my backpack floating in15 inches of water. We had aleak, and we were filling withwater fast. Mike woke us up scream-

ing, “Find the leak! Get theemergency gear up on deck!”We got the ditch kit up ondeck – flares, etc. – while

Mike went looking for the leak. He opened the cabinetdoor under the head sink and was greeted by a round,light-blue light and a geyser of water coming into theboat. A thru-hull fitting had corroded and broken off(there are 12 of these fittings in this boat), giving us aone-and-a-half-inch hole to the ocean. The temporary fix for this is a “soft wooden plug,”

which is tapered and when shoved into the hole swellsand locks itself in place. I got Mike the plug and he

About 2 p.m., Mike lookeddown in the cabin and saw myfoul-weather boots and mybackpack floating in 15 inchesof water. We had a leak, andwe were filling with water fast.

shoved it in. The leak was stopped – now to bail outthe boat. We had the bilge pump, emergency bilge pump, the

Whale hand pump, and a small emergency pump allworking to get the water out. We finally got it out. Thebunks were wet, clothing was wet, salt water had got-ten into a lot of things. I tried the single-sideband ra-dio, but the water had sloshed onto some part of it, andit never worked again. The VHF radio doesn’t transmitover 20 miles. We were 500 miles off Cape Hatteras,700 miles from Tortola. Mike elected to keep going south into the calmer

trade winds instead of recrossing the Gulf Stream andhaving heavier winds. We sailed on. About two dayslater, the winds started to taper off, and we elected tostart the engine. It wouldn’t start. The starter motorwould spin but it would not engage the flywheel andstart the motor. Situation: Five days out, 600+/- miles to go, and we

didn’t have a working head, radio, engine, but we did

have a wood plug stopping water from coming into theboat, but we didn’t know just how well that wood plugwas holding. We checked it all the time. We had twolife rafts, a satellite radio, crew determination, a goodboat, and light winds. We went onward, arriving atProValor at Fat Hogs Bay in Tortola on Dec. 1. Remember I said my backpack was floating? In my

backpack were my computer, camera, phone charger,GPS, and in a sealed Ziploc bag was my wallet, pass-port and travel documents. I must have left air in theZiploc bag, and in the commotion it must have beenstepped on, breaking the seal, and everything wentswimming. Two days later, in calmer weather, I triedto sort things out. No hope for the computer or camera,and I tried to save the GPS. I rinsed in fresh water allmy papers, wallet, etc., and dried them out. Once we landed, I tried my phone. It went roaming

for a line but never could really find one. Sometimes atext would go out, and once or twice I was able to talkto Marie for a couple of seconds, but then I would lose

Sailing a boat for five days, wondering what could go next, makes you

when you can’t communicate with them.

connection. We spent Thursday cleaning up the boat and getting

a temporary fix on the thru-hull fitting so the headwould work and we wouldn’t have to worry about awood plug leaking. When the repair people removedthe plug, they could not knock it out; they had to drillit out. We washed down a lot of the inside of the boat with

fresh water and dried out the rugs and, hopefully, mostof the electrical terminals, then took it over to CaneGarden on Friday night. Saturday, we did a sail andlunch. On Sunday, I left at 8 a.m. for the water taxi toSt. Thomas to fly home, arriving at the house to a won-derful wife and a clean Christmas-decorated house. So that is why I have not been able to communicate

with any of you and give you a status report. Believeme I would have if I could have.Sailing a boat for five days, wondering what could

go next, makes you think a lot about your life, yourfamily and your future. Especially when you can’t com-municate with them. Thank you for joining me in myadventure. And, yes, it was wonderful to sail in theBritish Virgin Islands once we got down there. And thes/v Maja is a strong, solid, Swedish-boat that can takethe weather and is a joy to sail. My love to all of you, I hope you all have a wonderful

holiday. I know I want to spend more time with myfamily and friends this holiday season.

GUEST PERSPECTIVE/Russ Roth

Pulpit Harbor stowaway

It’s Friday afternoon, and Marty and I have justspent four hours in the car working our way to Rock-land. We stop for groceries, load up the boat and

head out of the harbor. Our preferred stop for theevening is Pulpit Harbor. If all goes according to planour arrival will be perfectly timed for the cocktail hourand a game of Scrabble. The evening is quiet, the sunsetis beautiful, and the workweek is quickly left behind.Saturday morning brings more perfect weather. The

coffee is fresh off the stove, and I head to the cockpit tocontemplate the day. Stepping into the cockpit, I thinkI see something brown out of the corner of my eye. I lookagain and see nothing. Not thinking too much of it, Isettle into my coffee and forget about it.About 10 a.m. the wind starts to fill in and boats be-

gin to leave the harbor for their next stop. Ours will beGilkey Harbor, just a short sail away. Up goes the main,out goes the jib, and we are short tacking our way upEast Penobscot Bay. Not far out of the harbor, the windvelocity increases to about 15 knots, and we are nicelyheeled over. It is nothing our C&C 40 can’t handle, andwe are having a great sail.

Marty and I have a habit of steering from the leewardside, and the cockpit drain is at your feet when you dothis. If the boat is well heeled over, there is water com-ing up from this drain. Marty is driving and I’m grind-ing in the jib on the tacks. Out of the corner of my eye,that bit of brown materializes again. Now I begin to re-alize that it is not my imagination and there is actuallysomething in the cockpit drain. Not wanting to totallyfreak out my wife, I casually mention that she maywant to move her bare feet away from the drain. In theback of my head I’m thinking “rat.” But I just don’t wantto go there yet.Now we are both focused on the drain, and every time

the water comes up, out scampers this very cute (not-rat) animal. It’s about the size of a chipmunk, with bigupright ears. It is quickly determined that even thoughit’s cute, it’s not going sailing with us for the day. Wealso make the assumption that if it could swim out tous, it could swim back to shore.I’m elected to pick up our stowaway and deposit it

overboard. So as gently as I can, with the help of one ofour chamois, I scoop up our friend and over the side it

goes. I do feel a little guilty for not verifying that thislittle guy can swim before sending him over the side. Tomy relief, it is not only a swimmer but a really goodswimmer. It’s also using some internal navigation sys-tem to head for the nearest piece of land. So much forour bit of morning excitement, and on to Gilkey Harbor.After getting settled we needed answers to two ques-

tions: What was that ball of brown fur? And how did itget on the boat? A quick trip to the laptop and a littlehelp from Google answered question No. 1. Our visitorwas a meadow vole. The beautiful fields sloping downto the water around Pulpit are perfect habitat for thesecreatures. They are also very good swimmers.The second question we answered for ourselves as we

sat in the cockpit and looked over the transom. Therelying in the water was the painter to our dinghy. Quick

and easy access for any type of critter swimming by. Ourstowaway most likely went up the line and into thecockpit. The problem is getting out of the cockpit. Withhigh slippery sides and no lines to climb out on, the onlyplace to hide is the cockpit drain.So consider this fair warning for the next time you

are sitting in Pulpit Harbor. You may want to pull yourdinghy painter up out of the water before you retire forthe evening. And you may want to keep one eye on thecockpit drain as your boat heels over.

Ifeel privileged to have watched one of the bestshows in competitive yachting. It wasn’t anAmerica’s Cup trial, nor

was it the finish of an around-the-world solo competition. Itwas a Narragansett BayYachting Association’s (NBYA,www.nbya.org) Junior RaceWeek several years ago at SailNewport in Newport, R.I. Thistype of sailing event trains theskippers and crewmembers ofthe future – and not just in theart of sailing.The evening before Race

Week was to begin, I brought my son, Ted, and a cou-ple of other young sailors from Wickford Yacht Club(R.I.) to Newport’s Fort Adams. Fort Adams is a won-derful staging area for youth racing with launch

ramps, dock space, cranes,plenty of room for storing boatsand lots of green grass forspreading sails. The place wasa beehive of activity. Parents and kids were lifting

Sunfish off car-top carriers orun-nesting up to four Optis outof the backs of pickup trucks.Gear was being sorted, hullswere being wet-sanded, dingswere filled, and hiking strapswere checked and tightened.

After things were squared away, some ofthe kids wandered around to look atother boats and debate the advantagesand disadvantages of the different rigs. The following morning there were

briefings and seminars for the race par-ticipants. It was apparent to all adultspresent that the weather would leavesomething to be desired. Actually, theweather was just plain bad – gustywinds, on and off heavy rain showers,and the promise of more of the same forthe duration of the competition. But theyoungsters were told that show would goon to the extent that it could withinsafety limitations.When the racers were dismissed, they

went directly to the boats for last minutetweaking. It was neat to see these young-sters work with their Leatherman toolsand rigging knives. A few minutes before the ramps were

cleared for launching, many of the sail-ing instructors summoned their chargestogether. They all said pretty much the same thing –be careful, remember what you were taught, don’t em-barrass your sailing instructor or yacht club, and that“today things were going to be ... a little bit tricky.”

That last piece of understatement, I recalled thinkingwith a smile, was characteristic of sailing instructorsand indeed all of us sailors!The kids were given the green light to launch and

went to the water like ducks. There was a lot of: “I’llhelp you wheel your trailer down the ramp, if you helpme wheel mine.” I think there was more pragmatismthan altruism involved here, but what the heck, it wasa step in the right direction. At least the benefits ofteamwork were being reinforced.Though my wife and I were only observers in our

Boston Whaler that day, there would be some of theusual Mom Boat duties to perform – dispensing ducttape, lending out tools, replacing lost water bottlesand torn charts, or sometimes finding very soggylunches to feed equally soggy crews. Keeping up with the boats as they dispersed to the

various starting circles was almost impossible. I sawOptimist dinghies sail by me at speeds I didn’t thinkpossible. I recognized a couple of slim Jims and Janesas they flew by, who cleaned up at a light-air series afew weeks before. They were holding on for dear lifeand grimacing. Then a couple of the heavier kidssailed past me grinning like monkeys. You could seewhat they were thinking: Today was going to be a fineday to sail … just fine. Before long the races were called off because of high

wind. The skippers and crews had a chance to tuneup, and the tough sailing conditions illustrated whatneeded to be fixed, found, reinforced or discarded be-fore the next day. Once boats and equipment weretucked away, there was time for warming up and dry-

ing out before the afternoon dinner. In the remaining days, there were many equipment

failures and flips. Once, ayoung lady pulled a Laser upalongside me and asked forsome help during a lunchbreak. “Do you think a bobbypin will hold this shacklepin?” she asked. I told herthat I thought that it proba-bly would last for one race,but that I had a little stain-less-steel split-ring on mySwiss Army knife that mightbe better. Later that afternoon I

finish line. But regardless of how the kids placed intheir respective classes, one thing they all won in thisseries was confidence. If you could hold your boatdown in these conditions, and bring it back to shoresafely, you know that you can always do it again.The regatta participants learned a lot about sailing

and racing over the course of Race Week. But theylearned so much more, too. They learned the value ofplanning and preparation. They learned that workingtogether makes things easier, but they also learnedthat at times you have to be resourceful. They learnedout-of-the-box thinking, to substitute one piece ofequipment for another, and use a piece of metal, gumor plastic in a way it was not intended for to solve aproblem. The men and women of tomorrow learned that

sometimes you just have to tough it out. They learnedthat, for all the planning and effort they might expend,sometimes chance would determine the outcome of anevent. And they learned that “tomorrow” things mightbe quite different from the way they were today or lastweek.The 2013 Junior Race Week was held Aug. 12-14 at

Sail Newport, and while the class lineups were differ-ent (Club 420s, Optimists and Lasers), somewherealong the way these children, too, learned what I amso glad I learned – that sailing is a sport that can pro-vide a lifetime of challenge and a lifetime of fun.

Chowder Cup Race: Weather gods listened

What lousy weather we had in June and July!Aug. 3, the day of the Chowder Cup, ap-peared to be no exception. We woke to yet

more rain showers. The new race organizers, CharlieWitherell and Bill Shaughnessy, had to decide to raceor to delay. They decided to race, and the weather gods listened

up: Blue sky emerged at noon, light winds ruffled thebay at the 10-minute warning at 12:50, and Boom! By1 p.m. we had a nice southwest breeze, which fresh-ened as the race developed. At the end, we had hadalmost perfect conditions.My husband, Jim, and I were unable to race our 28-

Around this part of the waterfront, we gen-erally estivate by shaking the sea gen-tly till a few whitecaps form, then

adding a couple of seagulls and a sunnyday, and taking our sailboats out towet their bottoms.On this particular Tuesday,

midway between summer sol-stice and the Mystic SeaportWoodenBoat Show, Cap’n SaltyWhiskahs left his wife and his cat inMuenster, Germany, and flew over hereto share such an afternoon with Moon-Wind and me. MoonWind was shamelessly basking in her

slip, working on her tan, or what we marinershere in southern New England mostly refer to as“Bristol Beige.” She agreed it might be a fitting ad-venture to sail the four miles over to Noank to regaleourselves with lobstahs. “Light on the salt,” she whis-pered to me, “but heavy on the butter.”We enjoined her to take the scenic route as Salty is

also a writer, and needs more than four nautical milesto appease his editor. MoonWind suggested we go byway of the backside of Fishers Island. This wouldadd 20 miles to our voyage as we’d need to tackhalfway to Montauk Point. It also added al-most 300 words to Salty’s story. Sailingtakes precedence over lobstahs with edi-tors nowadays, especially as the price ofbutter has reached a record low.

Rounding Fishers Island entailspassing through The Race. Thisis the playground that sepa-rates Long Island Soundfrom the North Atlantic. Ona choppy day out at the Race,

your boat needs to have a de-cided sense of humor. We consulted

Cap’n Eldridge, who suggested wemake the passage before 1030.At the eastern end of Fishers Island we

came through Wicopesset, where we carefullyrefrained from disturbing those barnacles nap-

ping on the reef. Needless to say, the three of us ar-rived at Noank with our appetites well wetted [sic].

We fluttered up to that local pier reserved for gourmetdiners, made fast, doused our sails, and promisedMoonWind her very own lobstah, corn on the cob, andclam fritters. Here in Noank we know how to pamperour boats. We strolled the quarter-mile to Abbott’s Lobstah’s.

At Abbott’s, you place your order with the cheerfullady who tends the window, pick up your order at thecounter around the corner, then take your tray to atable overlooking scenic Mystic Harbor, and indulgeyour several senses simultaneously. “Two lobstah dinners for here,” I told this lady, “and

one to go for my boat.” At Abbott’s orders like this arecommonplace. “With extra butter,” I added.There is also an ice-cream stand. While we awaited

our order, Salty Whiskahs indulged in a milkshake,but only, I fear, for the privilege of flirting with theyoung lady at the concession. It doesn’t take 20 min-utes to make a milkshake. Nonetheless, he enjoyed hislunch, and even picked up the tab, which he paid inEuros. MoonWind was much impressed when I toldher this. It’s not every crew what picks up the tab andknows how to twiddle the tiller into the bargain.On the way home, the breeze ramped up to a satis-

fying 10 knots and heeled us over. Salty hooked hisankles over the leeward lifeline and rinsed the excessbutter out of his beard. We took the short way homeso MoonWind could have her lobstah before the butter

congealed. We eventually wafted into Slip B44 behindPine Island, and secured in time for aperitifs, whichincluded smoked bluefish and local ale. We then pro-ceeded to praise MoonWind until she blushed, praiseeach other until we guffawed, and praise the day untilit faded and the moon intruded herself. Over the crackers and cheese we nearly waxed se-

rious. “Nearly” being the operative word as we haven’twaxed all that serious in decades. The crackers andcheese sustained us, nonetheless, and the moon in-dulged us after her pearly fashion. We made up ourbunks and turned in early, exhausted by a surfeit ofconversation.Needless to say – which is why I especially need to

say it to you – Salty Whiskahs and I enjoyed our sail,and reminisced most shamelessly about our continu-ing boyhoods. We’ve known one another 40-odd years,and this gives us liberties unbeknownst to thosewhom Age ain’t ripened. For those of you who have cherished each other for

years beyond recall, I wish you the utmost pleasurein this world. There aren’t but diminishing years toshare such love, so if you have a friend that loves youas a sister and bonds as a brother, be especially goodto each other for today and ever and always. For the tide flows in and the tide ebbs out, but

friendship contrives to remain on course, notwith-standing.

As I write, Avocet, my newly acquired Oyster41, has just finished the 2013 MarbleheadHalifax Race. Had we finished at the desig-

nated Finish Line, I assume we would have been lastin class or nearly so. Our jib blew out at the start.

Left with a roller-furling headsail and little wind, itwas pretty much over at the third mark. After floatingaimlessly for many hours off the southern tip of NovaScotia several days later, Avocet powered to Yarmouth,where we entered and subsequently exited for Mainein fog and darkness. Despite ongoing yard bills paid inSt Martin over the last 15 months since purchase, Av-ocet’s hatches still leaked, toilets still smelled, and the

bilge needed to be manually pumped at regular inter-vals. On this trip, as most other trips, I had some new

crew. One was Jay, a retired surgeon from Dallas Tex.Jay and his fellow Texan, Jim, aninvestment advisor, had individu-ally and cumulatively vastly moreracing experience than I and lim-ited blue-water experience. Jim, ei-ther out of uncanny foresight ordumb luck for me, arrived with aT-shirt that depicted the variousguns, horns and flags in the correctstarting sequence for a sailboatstart – turned upside down so youcould look at your stomach, if largeenough, to make sense of the may-hem. Another new crewmember, Jens,

also an experienced sailor andMaine resident quite familiar withcold, wet and fog, was a graduateof the Merchant Marine Academy,and had been a professional cookonboard fishing vessels. He had an appetite andstrength equal to three men. Fortunately, he provi-sioned the boat with more food than we could easilystore (or eat), prepared it, served it, cleaned it up, and

became for the rest of us a lifeline to existence – aworker bee and bee keeper. This fellow, also a lawyer,was six-foot-three and strong enough to manhandle thesails.

Had there been wind and theright sails onboard, this couldhave been a glorious race for Avo-cet. We each learned from the oth-ers. It was, in fact, a glorious racefor Avocet. Following this race, Jay sent me

the following email, which suc-cinctly and eloquently set forththe sense of bond and trust, akind of love, that we sailors de-velop for each other out there.Perhaps more than anything, inthe words of a fellow racer/skip-per, Richard Parent, a Points EastYachtsman of the Year, it echoesthat profound sense of interde-pendence between all crew andskipper:“Sometimes, the appreciation of

an experience is apparent immediately; other times, itblooms over time and reflection. For me, our voyage to-gether from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, to the beautiful,rugged coast of Maine manifested both of these char-

acteristics. These experiences can be shared with oth-ers only to a limited degree, no matter how eloquent isthe teller-of-the-tale, nor how receptive are the listen-ers. “There exists for those who have sailed with mates

across a sea, in the black of night, enshrouded in fog, abond of trust and respect that is uniquely personal.Such experiences become woven into the fabric of a per-son who takes the step from the security of the shoreinto the micro world of a vessel trusting her seaworthi-ness and her skipper to safely complete the voyage. Forthis I am thankful and grateful.” So there’s the heart of it, and it has nothing to do

with winning, looking good, sailing through storms, oreven staying dry, warm and odor free – though the lastthree are important. It’s not about the duplicativecheck-in procedures at race registration, cumbersomeU.S. customs clearing procedures (or lack thereof), stuffbroken or about to break onboard, wrong sails, lack ofwind; the first two can be expected and endured in asociety increasingly driven by rules and regulations. It is the passion for the sport, the mutual respect and

interdependence of everyone, however imperfect, in-volved in the sport and the appreciation of the physicalbeauty of this small place we are so fortunate to brieflybe a part of that safely floats the boat.

Aurora II, was laid up all summer with a broken cen-terboard.

When I first discovered thismagic gem of a harbor on thenortheast corner of Great Dia-mond Island, all the 30 or 40boat slips in the marina werefull, and the 20 or so mooringsalso taken. It was bustling withfancy yachts and sailboats upto 40 or 50 feet in length.Added to this activity were thearrivals and departures ofCasco Bay Lines ferries thatservice all the islands, stoppingfrequently from 6:30 a.m. to 11p.m. Now, even at the height of

summer, it seems there arefewer boats and less activity.For the last decade the mainattraction for upscale visitorshas been the elegant restau-rant and bar named the Dia-monds Edge, right by the waterwith tables on the lawn over-looking the harbor. For thosenot wanting to go ashore, thereis always a rafting up of boatsfor a party. The Cove has overthe years earned the name“Cocktail Cove,” with partiesgoing well into the night.Great Diamond Island was

first named Hog Island for allthe pigs penned there, safefrom the mainland wolves. Bythe 1880s, residents objected tothe name Hog and changed itto Diamond. Great DiamondIsland is one of about six is-lands owned by the City ofPortland. The northeast side isbest known for its large number of brick houses builtfor the officers of the U.S. Army, starting in 1891 dur-ing the Spanish American War. Fort McKinley wascompleted in 1907 and used through WWII until1945. For four decades, the Fort was a ghost townThen, finally in the 1990s, several of these brick

buildings were renovated by real estate developersand sold as condos to summer residents, many fromsouthern states. More recently, seven or eight new andrather grand homes have been built on the banks andtastefully hidden behind trees, just peeking through.One of them, above an old granite pier, has a pair ofAdirondack chairs on the lawn that are rarely sat in,but always ready for a “customer.” Across the way,what was once a jailhouse is now converted to rooms

with newly painted bars and freshly varnished doors.A long dock stretches beyond low tide for three yachtsof contemporary design. They never seem to leave thedock.Diamond Cove is a gated community with a popu-

lation of 77, according to the 2010 census. There areno private cars, just 20 or 30 golf carts used by resi-dents. The general store is the center of activity at thecove with a small assortment of groceries, beer andsoft drinks, and an interesting breakfast menu.My small and less-grand sailboat swings gently at

a mooring as I watch the growing twilight approach.I adjust my dinnertime to the season – 8:30 in theearly summer and 5:30 in the early fall. My meal isusually the same: a choice piece of tenderloin. Yes,

shamefully, I’m still a meat eater. At my ripe-old age,it’s too late to change my habits. And hash-brownpotatoes and a fresh green salad complete the meal.The steak is cooked rare on the gas grill hanging overthe stern as the sun sets. I prolong the experience, sit-ting on deck watching the gathering dusk. No meal atthe fanciest restaurant could possibly top this.After dinner, as the sun sets early behind the trees,

up the hill there’s a particular glow from the west asclouds reflect the bright sunlight. The real charm ofthis spot begins. In the east, toward Long andChebeague islands, the darkening gray starts climb-ing skyward. Each time I watch this scene, I feel for-tunate to be here for this evening show. This night a cool breeze from the southwest is mak-

ing it almost chilly. The marine weather radio says thetemperatures will be dipping into the 50s. In the west,bright pink contrails arc across the fading sky. AuroraII and I are cozy, in for another Cove evening. Just be-

fore dark, I light the cabin oil lamp, which uses a high-grade kerosene without the familiar oil fumes. Thissmall brass lamp gives off a warm, orange-red colorthat brings comfort to my surroundings, althoughbarely enough light to read by. I have several electriclights for serious reading.During the evening, from 7 to 11, at least four fer-

ries stop here. As each approaches, there’s loud noiseas the skipper reverses the engine as the vessel nearsthe dock not far from my mooring. After each one de-parts, there is an almost perfect silence, broken onlyoccasionally by a small powerboat leaving for Port-land with restaurant guests.By 10:30 or 11, I usually can’t stay awake any

longer. After a quick stroll on deck to check that all’swell, I crawl into my sleeping bag, read a few pages ofmy latest book, then blow out the oil lamp and quicklyfall asleep aided by the gentle rocking only foundaboard a boat. Once more to The Cove.

After dinner, as the sun sets early behind the trees, up the hill there’s a

particular glow from the west as clouds reflect the bright sunlight. The

real charm of this spot begins.


Life is good for Long Island Sound anglersBy Richard DeMarteWhite Plains, N.Y.

Ienjoy every minute I’m on my boat and on the wa-ter, in all kinds of weather, by myself, and alsowith family and friends. Each outing is an adven-

ture and warms my heart and soul with joy. Being onthe water well over 100 days a year each spring, sum-mer and fall has made me who I am. I keep a log book in which I jot down a few sen-

tences (sometimes more) about what each of my dayson the water added to my life, and look back throughmy records for reference each year – about watertemperatures, fishing hot spots, where to find bait,etc.My boat is my pride and joy. It’s a 25-foot Sea Fox

“walkaround” style powerboat with a roomy cuddythat provides ample space to store all my fishing andboating gear. The cuddy has a large cushioned V-

berth I use to take naps when the mood strikes. My Sea Fox is powered by twin Suzuki 150-horse

four-stroke outboards that are whisper-quiet andserve me well whether I’m trolling at three knots orwant to zip along at speeds of 40-plus. The cockpit isespecially roomy, with an oversized nine-foot, three-inch beam, and the integrated 41-gallon bait wellmeets my fishing needs since it’s big enough to keepa few dozen adult bunker alive, which is critical tomy striped bass fishing. But fishing isn’t all that I enjoy aboard my boat,

and July 6, 2013 is a particularly good example of allthe pleasures it provides;

4:30 a.m.My best fishing partner (my father Joe) and I

pulled away from the dock in search of bait, and wesnagged 15 in less than an hour.

We visited Wee Captains Island, one of four fa-vorite spots we fished, landing and releasingseven stripers and three bluefish.

5:30 a.m. Dropped anchor in six feet of water, 50 feet off

the southwest corner of Goose Island at themouth of the Mianus River in Cos Cob, Conn.,and started striper fishing using four rod andreel set-ups: 2 baited with live bunker and twobaited with bunker chunks.

5:50 a.m.First bite, landed, measured; tagged and re-

leased my first striper of the day, a 39-inch, 23-pound beauty. Over the next six hours, I movedaround and fished four of my other favoritespots: Sandy Beach, Tweeds Island, Wee Cap-tains Island and Elias Point. Landing and re-leasing seven more stripers and three bluefishthis morning was “good fishing” without adoubt.

over to Stamford Harbor and pulled up to thedocks at The Clamshell restaurant, where wetreated ourselves to some of their freshlysqueezed, ice-cold lemonade and mouthwater-ing lobster rolls while we watched other boaterscoming in and out of the harbor

2:00 p.m. We passed by our dock in Cos Cob to pick up a few

other friends, who joined us for an afternoon and eveningaboard – relaxing, swimming, exploring Great Captain’sIsland, and holiday fireworks. Dropping anchor at thebeach on the northwest corner of the Island, we hung outon the island’s sandy beach and walked to the eastern-most end, which hosts one of the largest heron and egretcolonies in southern New England. We also took photosof the dozens of pairs roosting in the trees.

6:30 p.m. We made our way over to Greenwich Cove, where we

dropped anchor 50 feet from our favorite osprey nest ona nesting platform at the eastern tip of Greenwich Is-land. There, we watched and photographed the family offour ospreys as they feasted on a bunker the father fishhawk caught for dinner.

8:30 p.m.With a cool five-knot wind and 10-mile visibility, we

watched a spectacular sunset as we opened our coolerand enjoyed sandwiches, chips, grapes, and ice-colddrinks.

9:15 p.m.With hundreds of boats at anchor in and around the

cove, the fireworks began at Greenwich Point Park(Tod’s Point), along the southern end of GreenwichCove, and they were spectacular. We remained at an-chor for another hour as most of the other boats de-parted. Over many years of watching fireworksdisplays from our boat, we’ve learned it’s safer to wait,watch, and avoid the rush of departing boats.

11 p.m.Left Greenwich Cove for the short half-mile ride to


As we drove home, we laughed and reflected on the amazing day we’dhad – and how it was even more fun because we’d shared it with fam-ily and friends. And I was reminded how fortunate I am to be able tospend so much time on western Long Island Sound, which I love somuch.

On a July morning at The Hinckley Company inPortsmouth, R.I., students in the Rhode IslandMarine Trades (RIMTA) Pre-Apprenticeship

Training Program were huddled into the cockpit of a24-foot Formula powerboat. Kurt Forsman of theDerema Group walked them through the process ofwinterizing the boat’s 305-horsepower inboard. Stu-dents were so absorbed that at times it was so quietyou could hear a pin drop inside Hinckley’s BuildingNo. 5 – except when student questions started to fly,which was often.“Couldn’t you do it this way?” “What would happen

if you did that step first?” Some students were twosteps ahead of Forsman as he demonstrated, and thatwas what Forsman liked most about this group of stu-dents: They were eager to learn.This new marine trades pre-apprenticeship pro-

gram, which requires a full-time commitment from itsstudents, was launched in early July and concluded inmid-August. The program is made possible through aGovernor’s Workforce Board Rhode Island grant for$142,788 – part of $1.97 million in Innovative Partner-

ship grants distributed throughout the state. RIMTAspearheaded the development of the program andpartnered with local marine companies, which aresupplying facilities and expertise.By graduation time, the eight pre-apprentices in the

program, ages 18 to 24, will be ready for employment.But first, they will complete the 205-hour course thatgives them hands-on instruction in painting, varnish-ing, composites, customer service, hauling, rigging,fork and Travelift operation, shrinkwrapping, winter-izing and commissioning, boat handling, safety proce-dures, knot tying, tool handling, industry terminology,and even job-readiness skills.That’s a lot of ground to cover, and a lot of questions

to ask, but student Tyler Kane Roy Soares, age 18, isdefinitely up for the challenge: “I love learning,” hesays. “I’m like a sponge.”Stephan Lawson is a bright, poised 23-year-old from

Providence who never considered the boating industryas a career. After spending four years in the MarineCorps, he was planning his post-military career and,in the process, met RIMTA Workforce DevelopmentCoordinator Jen Cornwell, who directs the pre-appren-ticeship program. “The more I learned, the more inter-

ested I got in the program,”said Lawson.Competition to gain admis-

sion to the program, which isfree for students, was stiff.Cornwell received 50 applica-tions; she selected 30 appli-cants to interview andnarrowed that group to asmaller field of candidates toundergo testing for hands-onaptitude and math and readingskills. In interviews, Cornwelllooked for qualities prized bymarine companies that can’t betaught: a willingness to learn,a good attitude, and a genuineinterest in making a career inthe marine trades.Cornwell has not been disap-

pointed in her choices, and nei-ther have managers andinstructors from marine com-panies the students have en-countered thus far. Already, ahandful of companies are inter-ested in hiring these pre-ap-prentices when they graduate

in August.Some pre-apprentices came to

the program with a passion forboats. But for others, such as tal-ented students Lawson andSoares, this program divertedtheir career focus from otherfields, and the marine industrywill be better for their new careerchoice. Even though Soares had just

graduated from the Tiverton(R.I.) High School boatbuildingprogram this past June, he hadno idea the boating business heldso many diverse aspects to learnabout. Now he is hooked, andwhen asked what he liked mostabout the program thus far, hecan only answer with one word:“Everything!”The next session of the Rhode

Island Marine Trades Pre-Ap-prenticeship Training Programwill be run this winter, and appli-cations will be available fromRIMTA in late fall. For more in-formation, visit www.rimta.org.

By graduation time, the eight pre-apprentices inthe program, ages 18 to 24, will be ready foremployment.

Eagles, herons help to celebrateRon and Deb’s 44th anniversary

By Ron and Deb SmalleySouth Portland, Maine

It’s a beautiful September morning – no wind anda very appealing 73 degrees – so Deb and I decideto embark on one of the few remaining cruises we

could get in before the inevitable onslaught of fall ac-tivities. Agreeing that a short run with a light lunchon board is the plan, we head out on KayaBay II, our23-foot Grady White Cuddy Cabin. The warmth of the sun is always welcome in

September, and we marvel at the beauty of its angleand its effect on the water in front of us. A treat wasseeing the giant cruise ship Grandeur of the Sea passus before we left the vicinity of the marina. We feltno envy for all those gawking faces, only gratitude forbeing where we were. As we head up Diamond Pass (“Diamond I Roads”

on the chart), we decide to set our speed at a gunk-hole-pace of 2400 rpm, or seven or eight knots, so thatwe can look for wildlife, a favorite activity of oursalong the east side of the Diamond Islands. We’ve hadsingle sightings of fairly rare birds over the years, buttoday Deb immediately spots a blue heron just southof Ted Rand’s place. “Look over here – there’s a blue…no two of them …

wait three blue herons… and a fourth,” she cries.Each sat in his own tree, calmly gazing out over hisfishing grounds. I get into neutral so we can take itall in. Jaws back in place we head up the pass toGreat Diamond thinking we’ve seen our quota for theday. Not so: In its usual place is a bald eagle. We are

close enough to enjoy the beauty it possesses, with its

white head and yellowbeak. It’s a showstopper,so we watch the eagle asa duck dives for food justbeside us. Suspecting theoutcome, we are not sur-prised, when, as theduck breaches with afish in its beak, the eagleswoops down and stealsit. Eat your heart out,“National Geographic!” All right, now we’re

feeling the rhythm of theday, so before lunch weset out for HusseySound, where we’vefound mackerel regularlyall summer. Deb gets atinker on, and I foolishlythink we will try to feed the eagle. Back to Great Di-amond, and our marauding friend is gone! Oh well,nothing lasts forever, so we motor over to Peaks Is-land for lunch. Grabbing an unused mooring is a fa-vorite ploy and easy way to stop for a while and letthe sun do it’s magic. Not so fast. We no sooner finish our sandwich when

Deb spots the eagle returning to its tree. Over we go,

and I toss the mackerelup – only to see the ea-gle fluff its wings in re-jection as if to say,“Don’t bother me.” Likedogs with their tails be-tween their legs, wehead back out. And, assoon as we are in gear, asecond bald eagle treatsus to a swooping archin, and quickly out of,the area. This exhibi-tion mercifully eclipsesmy humiliation at hav-ing the mackerel re-jected by its mate. Soonwe are beside Little Di-amond, where we spot-ted the herons, and,

three hours later, they are still there. One chooses totreat us by flying away as if to say, “OK, you can gohome now; we’re done with our show.” Back at the slip, we take a deep breath, view the

cell-phone pictures that Deb took too many of, andagree that this had to be a very special day – one notto forget. Oh yeah, did I tell you it was also our 44th

anniversary?

To our dear friends...


By Sally SmallFor Points East

A year ago Oct. 29, Superstorm Sandymade landfall near Brigantine, N.J., aswhat the National Hurricane Centercalled “a post-tropical cyclone with hurri-cane-force winds” that slammed theNortheast with deadly wind, rain, snowand tidal surges. Sally Small wrote thisletter to friends after the storm departed.

Ahoy Dear Friends. I wanted todrop a note to let everyone knowthat we are OK after Hurricane

Sandy reared her ugly head Oct. 29-30.

To our dear friends...


She was certainly no lady! Kurt, Sally and Pegasuscame through unscathed, unlike many other peopleand boats in our area. We never lost power, so wereable to stay at home warm and dry, with our eyes gluedto the TV. Someone named it “Frankenstorm” due to its arrival

near Halloween. The wind was unlike anything I had

ever seen before – probably up to 80 miles an hour. Thetrees behind our apartment building were bent overat about 90 degrees. We heard a few loud CRACKSwhen some trees broke, but none came down onto carsin the parking lot below. At the worst of it, the barom-eter read 28.54. On Wednesday, Oct. 31, we went up to Norwalk Cove

Above: The SYC’s dock and tiki-bar area waslifted off of its pilings and moved about 12feet to the north, where it blocked the Trav-elift pit. Below left: Our Pegasus survived.Below right: So Inclined leans on Alviento atour club.

(Conn.) Marina where Pegasus hadbeen hauled out the weekend be-fore. We had taken all the sails andcanvas off and winterized him (Pe-gasus is a mythical male horse). Hewas high and dry and safe in hisnew winter home. He told me thathe was scared and lonely duringthe storm and that he missed us.He was as glad to see us, as wewere to see him in one piece.After that, we went to Brewers

Yacht Haven in Stamford, Conn., tocheck out the docks where we havea slip in the summer. Unlike thebullet we dodged last year withhurricane Irene, this time thedocks went up over the pilings invarious places, and some of thedocks were damaged. Most of theboats on the outer piers had beenmoved to the inner piers, so theywere all OK. Some owners did nottake off sails or canvas covers,which turned into raggedy stream-ers and will have to be replaced. This year we didn’t “miss it by

that much,” as Maxwell Smart

used to say.Now for the most difficult part:

We went to City Island, to ourStuyvesant Yacht Club. It was a to-tal disaster. About 29 boats hadgotten picked up off of their pop-pets by the surge, waves and windout of the south, and were ploppedunceremoniously on top of one an-other like some demented gianthad thrown them all away like dis-carded tinker toys. I am attachinga few photos of the destruction be-cause mere words are not enoughto describe it. The photos don’t do justice to the

damage. Our commodore’s boatwas one of the last ones to behauled, and it has gone on walka-bout. It got washed away from thegrounds, and no one knows whereit is at this point. The boats on thenorth side fared much better, al-though one boat did tip over and isleaning on Alviento next to it. Onepiece of dark humor: The toppledboat’s name is So Inclined.The summerhouse on the dock

was completely collapsed. Thedock and tiki-bar area, which wasabout 100 feet long and 60 feetwide, got picked up off of its pil-ings and moved about 12 feet tothe north, where it now blocks theTravelift pit. If they had to haul orlaunch any boats at this time, theywould have to clear away the de-bris left by the dock just to get ac-cess to the pit. The floats seem to be OK and

are still attached to their pilings.However, there is no way to get tothem since the access from land tothe floats is blocked by the wreck-age of the dock. Plus, it would beunsafe to even walk out there. Theclubhouse itself had about a foot ofwater in it. Hopefully, the newfloors can be rescued. As far as Iknow, no equipment inside theclubhouse was hurt, but that couldchange. Some of the other yacht clubs on

City Island got some water intothe clubhouses and ruined someequipment. Harlem Yacht Clubhad a foot and a half of water inthe clubhouse, and the porchmoved about two feet away fromthe building. The equipment in thekitchen may have to be replaced. City Island Yacht Club lost its

dock. Again. This is getting old, asthey say. It was destroyed duringhurricane Irene last year. Theyshould be experts now on how torebuild it. The floating docks andpilings were OK. There was justno way to get onto them. On the positive side, a lot of the

boats in our club were rather oldand there were no liveaboards.None were “primary residences.”And no one was hurt or killed, sothat is good news. It is now in thehands of the insurance companiesand the skilled repairmen. Some-one said that they will have tobring in a crane and barge on thewaterside just to start picking upthe boats, one by one. I for onewould not know where to start. Itwas so overwhelming.

Club’s problems pale by comparison to those of fami-lies in our area who have lost lives and homes to thisdisaster. I especiallyfeel for all those wholived in Breezy Point,Queens, where about111 homes were de-stroyed by fire. It ap-parently started as anelectrical fire in onehome and then, withthe 80-mph wind,spread rapidly to theother homes. The firedepartment was unableto get to them becausethe roads were allflooded by the stormsurge. Others on Staten Is-

land, Brooklyn,Queens, the barrier is-lands of New York andNew Jersey, and else-where sustained heavydamage and loss of life. It is something that I hopenever to have to see again in my lifetime. I always feelespecially distressed and sad when someone or some-

thing attacks my beloved city. I just wish I had a magiceraser where I could just wipe it all away and every-

thing would be as itwas. But we New York-ers are a strong lot, andas long as we stick to-gether and help one an-other, we will getthrough this as well.Sally grew up on

Staten Island, N.Y., twoblocks from Great KillsHarbor. Her early expe-riences were on OPFBs(Other People’s FishingBoats) with her parents’friends from the GreatKills Y.C. She and herhusband, Kurt Krim-phove, sailed his Cal2/30 sloop for 20 years.They now sail the Sabre362 Pegasus out of theStuyvesant Yacht Clubon City Island, and

cruise extensively to points east (pun intended, shesays): Long Island Sound, Narragansett Bay, BuzzardsBay, Block Island and Cape Cod.

The Rockland Castine Regatta, hosted byRockland (Maine) Yacht Club celebrated itsthird annual run July 20-21. In all, 32 boatsmade it to the line for the start on both days,seven more boats than the previous year.This year the regatta had two cruisingclasses, three racing classes, a shorthandeddivision, and a multihull division, each sail-ing a 20-mile course to and from Rocklandand Castine harbors. Day 1 was a sled ride to Castine, with a 10-

to 20-knot west–southwest breeze that wasmostly consistent throughout the race withjust one hole about three-quarters of the waydown the leg; however, a building breezedown at the Castine end of the course keptthe racing interesting with groups of boatsfinishing within seconds of each other.

boat.By design, this race is pursuit-

style, and Panacea was the firstboat to start with its high rating of186 and so is affectionately calledthe rabbit. Well… on the first dayof racing, nobody caught the rabbit– good going Peter! Keemah, aJ/105 in racing class two, was thenext boat to finish, closely followedby Cat’s Paw and Migis Magic, bothin racing-class three. Day 1 was notthe day for the big boats as theywere never able to catch all theway up to most of the smallerboats. The race back to Rocklandon Sunday would be another storycompletely.Day 2 started off with a whimper

and finished off with a bang. Justin time for the start, a five-knotnortherly filled in just outside Cas-tine Harbor, and the race commit-tee anxiously was able to start therace on time. However, that windproved to be fluky for the rest ofthe starting sequence. Luckily aone-knot-plus outgoing currentkept most of the boats moving to-ward Rockland harbor, while thewhole fleet waited for a southwest-erly wind to fill for a great upwindleg back home.The wind did fill to about 10 to

15 knots and provided some largeoscillations of almost 50 degrees onthe course. The boats that hit theshifts just right each time madehuge gains; boats that got caughton the wrong side found it hard torecover. The shifts took place every40 minutes or so, which created await-and-see game. The larger boats were able to

catch up with the fleet on day two,and the first boat to finish was rac-ing class 1 boat, J’ai Tu, a J/35owned by Gary Bennett and skip-pered by JB Turner. The secondboat to finish was Kaos, a Frers 41skippered by Scott Smithwick,closely followed by Beausoleil, aBeneteau 456, skippered byRichard Parent. Keemah, owned by Don Logan,

ering at Dennett’s Wharf restaurant. The partystarted with a bang, literally, when the powerwent out due to a small squall that wentthrough Castine just after everyone had hit thedocks and were cleaned up after racing. TheDennett’s staff was great and kept everythingon schedule, cooking with headlamps in theirkitchen, and serving all the sailors on time. OnSunday, RYC hosted an awards BBQ under theFriendship Sloop Days tent on the Rocklandgreen, providing a perfect end to a great week-end with a full BBQ with burgers, dogs, chickenand all the fixings and some great salads to topoff the experience. Rising Tide Beer was enjoyed each day, with

their Spinnaker and Maine Island Trail Alebrands providing some great refreshment tothe crowds of thirsty sailors. Planning is al-ready under way to bring a bigger and betterregatta to the mid-coast next year. Learn allabout it at www.rocklandcastineregatta.org.

offshore, where 10 knots of breeze filled infrom the south at around 1400 local timefor Race 11.Larchmont Yacht Club knew before that

start that this would be the only race of theday and the team from New York wastedno time in harassing the regatta leader,Royal Canadian Yacht Club. In the pre-start, the two yachts were prowling aroundeach other in an attempt to force a penalty.At the start, Larchmont managed to getover the top of Royal Canadian Yacht Club,forcing them to the unfavored right side ofthe course, and for a time, Larchmontlooked like they might be able to putenough boats in between them and theCanadian team to win the regatta. However, at the top mark, two yachts

were penalized, and Royal Canadian madeup a few places before capitalizing on freeair to make even more gains on the run. Bythe bottom mark, Royal Canadian was ahead of Larch-mont on the water.As quickly as the breeze had materialized, it van-

ished, and the race was abandoned, much to the frus-tration of Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, which wasway out in front.

The Royal Canadian Yacht Club will be awarded the2013 Invitational Cup presented by Rolex for the sec-ond consecutive time. Larchmont Yacht Club finished2nd, with Royal Thames in 3rd, the highest finish everfor a European club. FMI: www.nyyc.org.

True North Yachts, in Warren,R.I., has a new flagship, the TrueNorth 50 power yacht. The TrueNorth line currently has 34- and 38-foot models. In coordination with Langan De-

sign Partners, True North Yachts de-signed the TN50 to focus on theenjoyment of being outdoors, ease ofownership, safety, and comfort atsea. This new, larger design has been

conceived to provide “a fresh look atpower yachting,” True North says.The TN50, with twin Volvo PentaIPS600 engines, offers singlehandedmaneuverability, stability, and excel-lent visibility. Side hull doors, and anopening door at the helm enables oneperson to operate the vessel withease, the builder says. The TN50 hull is crafted after a

lobster boat design, which has beensolidly founded and proven seawor-thy in its shape. The result is an ex-

ceptionally stable cockpit and widedecks that allow for easy movement.But the otherwise modern design isapparent throughout the boat. Thewide reverse transom leads to a cock-pit suitable for dining, complete withmodular seats, dining table andtrimmed in hand-finished teak. Thecockpit also has abundant storage,with lockers for lines, fenders, scubaequipment, or other boating acces-sories.The TN 50’s main-deck galley

keeps the helmsperson in the middleof the action. The boat has a two-cabin/two-head layout. The forwardmaster stateroom has its own headwith a separate shower and dressingtable. The centerline queen berth isaccessible from three sides. TrueNorth 50 Hull No. 1 is currently un-der construction and will be avail-able for 2014. FMI: www.tnyachts.com.

Wallace C. Ross 90, Vero Beach, Fla.Wally Ross – former Noroton (Conn.) Yacht Club

member, prominent yachtsman, pioneer sail maker,businessman and author – died on Aug. 23 in VeroBeach. He was president of Hard Sails and SeaboardMarine from 1954 to 1974. At Hard, he made sails for over 100 national and in-

ternational small boat champions, in addition to 12-Meter class sails and sails for many largechampionship boats of the day. In the early years,Hard’s use of Dacron provided sails that held shapeand were conducive to application of aerodynamic the-ory in mass production. Seaboard Marine made fittings for many 12-meter

boats competing for the America’s Cup in the 1960s.Seaboard also produced many other marine product

lines. He sailed on America’s Cup boats and became aracer in his own right. His 1975 book “Sail Power,”written in layman’s terms, became a bible of sailingand sailmaking. The radial spinnaker and the ball-bearing traveler are both credited to his fertile mind.

Cranston, R.I., passed away unexpectedly on Sept. 16.Marie is survived by her husband, Don, who served ascommodore in 1997 and 1998, by their daughtersDanielle and Monique, and by five grandchildren. As commodore, Marie brought a sense of calm and

purpose to the club as it continued to recover from thefire that resulted in the loss of the clubhouse in 2011.Her leadership style was inclusive. She was respectfuland considerate of the opinions of all members, mind-ful of the club’s proud history, and dedicated to its fu-ture. She attended countless planning, board andcommittee meetings in connection with the antici-pated rebuilding of the clubhouse, and guided thatprocess with grace and good humor. Marie brought extensive executive-level experience

to her position as commodore, and assumed office justafter retiring from the Rhode Island Department ofLabor and Training. Her leadership skills were evi-dent as she led the club through several major projectsincluding the restoration of the sea wall, the conver-sion of the cottage into an office and meeting facility,and extensive marina upgrades. As a couple, Commodores Marie and Don DeRoche

have set a standard of excellence and displayed a de-gree of dedication to this club that is unparalleled.Commodore Marie DeRoche brought harmony, a re-stored sense of pride and hope for the future to theclub at a time when that was sorely needed. She wasa person for all seasons and assumed the position ofcommodore when she was most needed. She servedwell and will be sorely missed.

Moon cross at Winter Harbor

Discovering the moon cross added a layer of mystery andmeaning to the dramatic anchorage.

Cruising the Downeast and Maritime coasts ispossessed of epic intimations that are not al-ways easy to fathom, and the drama and impli-

cations of them seem to warn against thinking I knowvery much of such things, even after all these years offetching along. Such telling events occur in a variety of guises. Sav-

aged by a southeasterly squall blowing athwart anebbing Bay of Fundy tide, the fury of breaking seas,driving rain and fog left me breathless as I crawledonto the Leight’s tossing deck to tie in a reef with onehand, while hanging on with the other. Feeling vulner-able in the madness, it only occurred to me after mak-ing Head Harbor on Campobello Island that it wasbetter to know such things than not, as annoying asthey were at times. And there are the venerated places that appeal to a

particular natural divinity we feel, but might not beable to explain. Other encounters are far more ordi-nary. Chancing upon the bones of a shipwreck, or the

ruins of an old island home, we wonder what heroicand tragic tales played out there, and what they tellus about life. One such minor, but interesting, revelation was our

discovery of the moon cross at Winter Harbor on Vinal-haven Island. As you’d expect of such things, it ishardly obvious, yet not so hidden from view that onepossessed of an inquiring spirit might miss it. Close-hauled under main and jib, a fair tide and

wind running, we hugged along the cliffs in the outerharbor, leaving the two-foot sounding to port. Keepinga bold ledge southwest of it close to port, and a clusterof shoals to starboard, we carried depths of eight feetor more. Bringing the prominent point on the southshore abeam, we tacked over for the small cove on thenorth shore, and, just before entering it, swung north-west, keeping to port of a shoal that shows toward lowwater. Making for the head of navigation, we left an all-

weather ledge to starboard, sidled over to the south

shore and anchored off a smooth,sloping swell of granite. Taking inthe spectacle on all quarters, wecaught sight of a slender stonecross that occupied a rocky daisamidst a scattering of quarry cast-ings.Landing the dinghy in a little

teacup of a rocky alcove closeaboard, we struck off westward ona faint path, through a copse of redpine, and soon came upon a minia-ture, sheer-walled amphitheatre,at the head of which stood a cross,fashioned from slender granitetimbers. What was even more extraordi-

nary about the scene was the arrayof moon phases, rendered in livinglichen, scattered about the wall be-hind the cross. Crescent moons thesize of a soccer ball, full moons,first quarters, last quarters, wax-ing and waning, suggested some-one else saw this as hallowedground, the same sense we’d felt onour first visit 40 years earlier. There was a quieting, earthy/an-

imist/seastruck wildness to theplace, even if we didn’t know whatit meant, except that it was an ex-pression of reverence, emotion, andorganic communion with naturethat can run deep, if we’re open tothem.That’s the thing about this

rugged coast. We’re never alto-gether sure what to make of suchthings, which puts us in a recep-tive mood. The moon cross, grave-stones, wrecks, stormy days andother events make us think aboutwhat we know – and don’t know –and encourages us to make ourtravels along this wild and beauti-ful coast a worthy expression ofleaning into the light.

Western Long Island Sound

Are you ready for a shot at a Northeast Inshore Slam?By Richard DeMarteFor Points East

An Inshore Slam is one of the most difficult challengesfor Northeast inshore anglers, and it’s also one of themost thrilling and fulfilling. An Inshore Slam is catchinga striped bass, a bluefish, a bonito and an albie (al-bacore tuna) in a single day, and October is prime-timesince these four species will be stuffing themselves to thegills as they prepare for their migrations to warmer wa-ters. October is also the time to find the waters loaded with

all types of baitfish these predators love to gorge on:peanut (baby) bunker, snapper (baby) bluefish, spearing,sand eels and bay anchovies. Stripers and bluefish willalso never turn their noses up on cut or live bunker orporgies used as bait as well. So don’t think about tuckingthat fishing gear away for the winter just yet. Oh, did Imention that porgies, blackfish, black sea bass andfluke are also fair game this time of year as well?

Bluefish:The westernmost reaches of the sound seemto be holding a few scattered blues ranging from three to10 pounds, but the odds increase dramatically as youhead east along the Connecticut shoreline, where mas-sive pods of bunker in the harbors and out in deeper openwater are keeping the attention of sizable schools ofeight- to 14-pound blues. They are not picky and will eatanything you toss at them including chunked and livebunker as well as jigged lures and trolled umbrella rigs.Best action can be found at Greens Ledge, Norwalk, Fair-field, Bridgeport and Milford. Now is the time to pull outthose surface lures (the Rapala Skitter Pop is my fa-vorite) and crank them back to the boat as fast as youcan.

Striped bass:The best bet by far is to set up along therocky shorelines in shallow water (which stays warmerthis time of year) as well as in and around harbors. Baitfishing with live or chunked bunker or porgies is the wayto go and chumming a bit will help as well. Tucking tight


in less than 15 feet (I prefer the four-to eight-foot range)is productive. Areas like Greenwich harbor and islands,Stamford Harbor, and all around the Norwalk islandswill produce consistently through thefall and even well into December. Us-ing steel leaders is a must since you’llno doubt find some bluefish in the mix.A single or double hook rig with VMC8/0 or 9/0 circle hooks will not only en-sure solid hook-ups but also make forclean releases.

Porgies: Break out some smallsinker weights (one to three ounces de-pending on depth and tide), bait upyour two-hook porgy rigs with sand-worms or small cubes of bunker, anddrop anchor around rock-piles in shal-low or deep water. Using 15- to 30-pound-test braided line (like Sufix)will ensure you feel every bite.

Blackfish:Fall fishing for blackfishdraws a lot of attention and excite-ment every year. These “white chins” are one of the besteating fish in the Northeast in fish stews and chowdersas well as broiled, sautéed, baked, poached or smoked.Having enough of the right bait is key. Blackfish love toeat crabs: Asian, green and fiddler crabs, which can bebought at local tackle stores or gathered at low tide along

and under rocks. Anchoring over and around rock piles and boulder

fields will put you in the zone; deploying a second anchoroff the stern will keep you right overyour spot. Once you set both anchors,be sure to chum by tossing over a smallhandful of chopped or crushed up crabsevery five or 10 minutes to help startand keep the bite going. Using smallblackfish jigs, or single- or double-hookblackfish rigs baited with crab baits,you must set the hook and raise yourrod a few feet as soon as you feel a bite.Rocky areas like Hens and Chickens,on the east side of Wee Captains Islandin Greenwich, as well as The Cows out-side of Stamford, are where you’ll findthe highest concentrations of blackfisheach fall.

Big stripers are on the move; tuna action may continueBy Elisa JackmanFor Points East

The summer flew by, the air is getting cooler, andthe fall fishing is upon us. Water temperaturesare cooling, and the fall bass migration is begin-

ning, so get those eels ready.Inshore fishing for scup and seabass will continue

throughout the month. Popular fishing grounds in-clude the rocky bottom areas of the south shore suchas the Hooter Buoy. Come late October, East Groundsshould be lock-and-load seabass fishing using hi-lowrigs with squid and small diamond jigs are becomingpopular.Hopefully, the bountiful supply of bluefish is mov-

ing out and making way for the fall stripers. Henryand Dana Zewinski, fishing aboard the Fish Hunter,landed a 47-pound striper while fishing the SouthwestLedge with live eels during the night. This is the besttechnique to land a cow bass. Trolling umbrellas dur-ing the day is the next best method. The surf fishingoff Narragansett and Point Judith will improve as thewater cools; needle fish and popper plugs often workwell.

Tautog will begin moving from shallow-watergrounds to deeper waters of Narragansett Bay, in ar-eas such as Point Judith Light, River Ledge, Scarbor-ough and Black Rock. The last tautog hot spot will beWashington Ledge.

If the weather permits, the offshore fishing should continue throughOctober; however, fishable days become harder to come by. Captain andangler Buzz Smart, aboard the Aerie One, landed a 216-pound big-eyetuna while fishing the Fish Tales during mid-September. This big-eyebite has been pretty regular at the Fish Tales to West Atlantis all sum-mer. All fish have been caught on the troll; if fish concentrate, a nightchunk bite could happen.Anglers will wait to see if the Dump and the Shipping Lanes will con-

tinue to hold a nice body of albacore tunas. The Hot Reels trolled up to15 albacore, 25 to 50 pounds, 55 miles offshore in the Dump the firstweekend of September. Hopefully, these fish will hang around. Be sureto ask your local tackle shops for up to date reports! Here’s to a lot moretight lines before the season ends!Jackman, a Point Judith Pond native, has managed the tackle shop at

Maine

By Marco LamotheFor Points East

Recreational fishing season is almost winding downhere on the southern Maine coast, but not quite yet.Shorter days mean less time to pursue the multitude ofbass and bluefish foraging about our near-shore waters. Most weekday workers are now confined to Saturday

and Sunday excursions due to early sunrise and sunset.This final burst in early to mid-October is generally thebest of the season. Surface frenzies at midday are now acommon occurrence as inshore and offshore waters havecooled, ushering the exodus of pesky blue sharks anddogfish from the cod and haddock grounds. Beachfronts from Popham down to Kittery will host

mixed sizes of striped bass as they gorge on small her-ring and sand eels on their way south. Tiny spike mack-erel are quite abundant this fall and should provide amagnet for those fishing live baits for both bass andbluefish. Bluefish have been sparse in Maine waters sofar this late season, but expect schools to reorganize asthey rampage their way to waters in the Chesapeake andother southern locales.

Cod fishing should peak prior to the season’s closure

date. This season has been one of the most bountiful inrecent years for bottom dredgers plying Jeffreys Ledge,Platts, and other southern Maine humps. Cod numbershave been solid, and the average size has been improvingas well. Nine-fish limits prevail until the end of the season Oct.

31. Many fishermen continue to ignore the 19-inch limitand use a bit longer measurement of 24 inches or so; thenumbers have been that good! With the reduction in dog-fish numbers, anglers will find more success as theyswitch over to jig and bait combos. October surprisingly often brings calm seas for ex-

tended stretches, reducing the need for extreme weightsand cumbersome sea anchors. When the wind is steady,a sea anchor can save the day. If you are not on bottom,you aren’t catching cod. Often a 10- or 12-ounce cod jig isall that is needed to hug bottom. Jiggers targeting had-dock can find success baiting their teaser with a half-cooked shrimp or sandworm. Expect good numbers ofslammer pollock as well, often striking in pairs.The first couple of weeks in October mark the end to

offshore shark fishing. Blues, porbeagles, threshers andmakos will all make their way out into the Gulf Stream

Striped bass, blues, tuna and sharks are still active

for their southern migration. Shark season started a bitslow off of the Maine coast in late July, but late-seasonsizes and numbers have restored faith in this reliablefishery. Chumming in a shark is one of the

few ways a relatively inexperiencedangler can target and successfullyland a 100-pound-plus fish. Fishingout of Kittery recently, I chuckled astwo middle-school football players Iwas chartering found themselvespinned to the gunwale of their grand-father’s boat, tussling with a six-toseven-foot blue shark. These fish arepowerful, and fighting such a large fishis an unusual occurrence in our Mainewaters.

Bluefin tuna season has been be-low expectations thus far this season.Local experts who typically haveboated 10 or more fish at this point ina year are scurrying to harvest theirfirst few fish. Reliable inshore loca-tions near Biddeford and Kittery, alongwith the waters off Monhegan andSeguin, have all been stingy this sum-mer. Late-September into October is often the most produc-

tive period in the Maine tuna season, and with the pa-tience only tuna fishermen can muster, the possibilitiesare always present. Thoughts of exciting battles and big

paydays will surely keep local boats onthe water well into November, the tra-ditional time for the tuna to departMaine coastal waters. Best wishes fora comfortable winter as I sign-off on myinaugural writing season.

LAST WORD/Capt . Rober t and Loui se Brown

This was a vacation?

Well, what are you going to do? What a perfect way for Bob and Louise to end a summer cruizilla!

Photo courtesy Capt. Bob Brown

We had been planning our summer boating va-cation for better than a year. Stops were to in-clude the Boston Harbor Islands, World’s End

in Hingham, Provincetown, Wood’s Hole, Martha’s Vine-yard and Nantucket.As was our habit, we had chosen the two weeks around

July 4 as our traveling time and had made reservationsfor slips and moorings accordingly. This was no smalltask since five boats were planning on making the trekwith us.The seas were calm and the sky was clear as we left

our docks on the initial leg of our journey; first stop:Georges Island. This is one of the 34 islands and penin-sulas providing the 50 square miles of bays, harbors andrivers in the Boston Harbor Island’s network. We hookedmooring balls on the northeast side of the island and be-gan to unwind after our voyage from Newburyport. After a windy night, with considerable blowing around

on our mooring, we awoke to another gorgeous day. Weleft our big boats and headed out in our dinghies to in-

vestigate Lovell Island. We hiked the trails, did someswimming at the small beach and inspected the remainsof Fort Standish. We would have been tempted to stay anadditional night in these outer islands if the wind hadsubsided; however, our group voted to forego anotherevening of blowing around in choppy waters and head toour next destination, World’s End in Hingham/Hull. Here, we would again be on moorings, but this anchor-

age area was well-protected; in fact, as we travelled intoBoston’s South Channel, the breeze ceased entirely, andthe heat of the day became more noticeable. We werelooking forward to jumping into the cool water of the har-bor.Since this was our first visit to the mooring field, we

were careful to follow the marked channel, and to keep asharp eye on our paper charts as well as our chart plot-ter; the area does get shallow. We were able to hook ourmooring without incident and enjoy this pleasant, peace-ful area known as World’s End. After an extended swim,

we again left the big boats behind and began to explorethe area by dinghy. A 10-minute ride brought us to Nantasket Beach and

back to the hustle and bustle of city living. The beach islong, sandy, and can be crowded on a hot day, but therestaurants, sights and activities made the trip worth-while. But the Paragon Carousel alone was worth thetrip. Now an antique, it was built in 1928, one of only 100

carousels remaining in the United States. It has 66 beau-tifully maintained, carved wooden horses and attractsover 100,000 visitors a summer. As William Tammeus,the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist said, “You reallydon’t understand human nature unless you know why achild on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents everytime around...and why his parents will always waveback.” This year marks the 85th year of operation for thisrelic from Hull’s golden age.After returning to the big boats, we fired up the gas

grills and created the on-board feasts for which we havebecome famous (at least in our own minds). The late-af-ternoon, early evening smorgasbord, accompanied by lav-ish cocktails and good friends, inevitably led to music anddancing as well as an early retirement for most of therevelers. Our intent was to get up early and spend theday on the beach, followed by one of our planned dining-out experiences at the Sea Dog Brew Pub or maybe Bare-foot Bob’s Beach Grill. The next day was perfect. We were fortunate that the

weather had been decent so far, and we were hoping forit to continue. We did exactly what we planned on doing:lazed on the beach and stuffed ourselves at the Sea DogBrew Pub. Nantasket and World’s End were a fun-filledand enjoyable destination which we all plan to visitagain. That night, we also made it early-to-bed, in antic-ipation of our departure in the morning for Province-town. Three of our boats were to be in slips at the docksfor power, fuel, water, washing and relaxation, while twoof us were remaining on moorings for cost-savings.We woke to cloudy skies and a blustery breeze. The

temperature had dropped considerably, and we werehoping the weather wouldn’t get worse. After checkingNOAA weather, we headed out. As we rounded Hull Gutand came out into Massachusetts Bay, heading southeasttoward P-Town, we hit head winds and four- to five-footseas, which was not pleasant. One of our boats radioedthat they were turning north for home. Our four remain-ing boats were determined to make Provincetown beforedark. We made it just before dark, weary after the day’s run. The next day, the sky was clear, although the wind con-

tinued to blow at a healthy 15 to 20 knots; the boats onmoorings were being knocked about pretty well. We de-cided to leave the dinghies secured to the boats and takeadvantage of the launch service. P-Town is a real treat,

a great mix of people and places. The eight of us stucktogether most of the time, enjoying shopping, an earlycocktail hour, an early dinner, and then dancing. We hada blast.Unfortunately, we had to get back to the boats via the

last shuttle, so at 10 p.m., we called it a night. The launchoperator turned out to be the harbormaster, and westruck up quite a conversation on the way back. Whenhe saw the boat we were headed to, he became lessfriendly; we sensed something was amiss. Apparently, during our absence, he and his mate were

patrolling the harbor and noticed that the line we’d usedto moor our boat had frayed due to the wind blowing theboat around. We typically use our own lines and feedthem through the mooring line instead of attaching themooring line itself to our boat; we learned this methodin the B.V.I. and had had no issues using that system.The wind action had caused our line to move back andforth against the loop in the mooring line, causing ourline to fray. The harbormaster and his mate had to boardour vessel and reattach the mooring line to our boat.When we arrived at our boat, he told us to look at our

dock line and see how close we’d come to disaster, andthat we should alter our method of hooking up to a moor-ing. Since this incident, we now tie two dock lines to themooring line rather than one, and we do it so there isminimal chafing. It was a hard lesson learned, but itcould have been much harder. We very fairly tipped theharbormaster and his mate the next morning for theirassistance in avoiding a costly calamity. We left Provincetown the following morning and

headed for the Cape Cod Canal, bound for Woods Hole.The wind was still blowing, but less than before, and wemade Sandwich in good time and tried to fuel up there.Sandwich Marina did not have enough fuel for all fourboats, so two boats proceeded through the canal to Onsetfor fueling. After waiting around for the other boats to take on fuel,

we ran west at no-wake speed until the Coast Guard sur-prised us on their hailer, saying we needed to “stem thetide” since all traffic needed to stop due to some activityat the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. Upon the sec-ond directive from the Coasties to “stem the tide,” we de-cided to determine what was meant by “stemming thetide.” Well, since the tide was running from east to westthrough the canal, and since we were traveling from eastto west, we needed to turn our boats around and face intothe current to hold our position. Whew!Approaching Wood’s Hole is a true adventure. The rips

caused by wind against tide caused the boat to list oneway, then suddenly the other. The turns were sharp andthe current was really running. The one saving grace wasthat we made it through in one piece. According toBoston Sailing Center’s cruising guide, “NavigatingWood’s Hole is tricky and potentially dangerous – for acombination of reasons.” In a short stretch of time, we

learned them all.That night, we spent on moorings in Great Harbor.

Much to our relief, it was a quiet evening spent talkingwith friends and enjoying just being there. Two morestops, each for two nights, and then our vacation wouldwind down – Martha’s Vineyard, then Nantucket, thenhome. Exiting Great Harbor and entering Vineyard Sound

was only slightly less worrisome than our entry intoWood’s Hole. The currents around the islands, and thewinds, presented quite a navigational challenge. Wemade it – through five-foot seas and 25-knot winds – butwe made it. We spent two delightful nights in slips at pro-tected Oak Bluff’s Marina. We shopped until we dropped,partied on the boats and in the pubs, sunbathed and usedall the amenities afforded us at the docks. The most note-worthy activity, however, was “The Jeep Rental.”When we returned the Jeep, it was with only minor

damages and some scratches from the underbrush. Wehad removed most of the shrubbery from the inside, andwe had detached all of the tree debris from the bumpersand wheel-wells. We had cleaned off most of the mud.We’d had no idea there were so many old, abandoned,over-grown roadways on Martha’s Vineyard. We left the Vineyard pretty much as we had found it,

but rather hastily, the next morning – bound for Nan-tucket. We were now down to two boats since Matty,Leann, Skip and Kathy had decided to end their trip with“The Island Adventure” on the Vineyard. Paul, Deb,Louise and I had planned on meeting our kids on Nan-tucket; they were to arrive by ferry before our arrival,and were going to stay with us on our boats for the twodays. We had made reservations at the Nantucket BoatBasin and were looking forward to relaxing with thekids.Well, that’s not exactly what happened.Upon departure from the Vineyard, the seas were un-

cooperative, and the weather was unobliging. The shorttrip from the Vineyard to Nantucket turned out to be oneof the longest trips we’ve ever taken. The rocking androlling, the spray over the bow and the crashing (we lostthe canvas struts, and they lost parts of a hatch), and the

fog just about did us in, until we heard Paul on his VHF– calling the Coast Guard.Approximately two miles from the entrance to Nan-

tucket Boat Basin, in his radio call to the Coasties, Paulhad reported that Deb was curled into a ball on the cock-pit floor, not moving, and talking gibberish. Paul was cer-tain she was having a heart attack or something asserious. He requested Coast Guard assistance in enter-ing the harbor and getting medical assistance to the headdock. With the Coast Guard leading the way, lights andsirens blaring, all three of our boats screamed into Nan-tucket Boat Basin ignoring the no-wake signs and pulledup to the main dock where the ambulance was waitingto take Deb to the hospital. Louise went with her to theemergency room in the ambulance. Paul and I needed torelocate our vessels to our assigned slips, and we neededto find out about the children who were meeting us there.We found the kids, who had brought a car over by ferry

and were able to pick up Louise at the hospital. Our chil-dren settled into our boats with their belongings, and wehad a pleasant dinner with our families, even thoughDeb was not with us. Louise said Deb had been sufferingfrom dehydration, and we were relieved that she was notmore seriously ill. We later learned that Deb had askedto stay overnight. We guessed she needed to slow downsome from the pace of the vacation. The trip home, in rough seas, took two more days. It

took us seven hours to get to Scituate, where we stayedovernight. The next morning we tried to leave, but againthe seas thwarted us, and we spent another night in Sc-ituate. The next day we made it back to Newburyportand to our home.And we called this a vacation?Capt. Robert Brown and his wife, Louise, continue their

boating adventures out of Cove Marina on the MerrimackRiver in Salisbury, Mass. In the off-season, they live bythe sea, at North Beach in Hampton, N.H. In 2009, hisUSCG license was upgraded to 100-ton Master. Sincethen, he has traveled the waterways from Fort Laud-erdale to Bar Harbor with his various iterations of theHalfMine. Visit Capt.
