EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Marsh

What ‘the other half’ thinks

Well, maybe not half; perhaps a third who be-lieve there can be unhealthy aspects to digi-tal communication. But this doesn’t neces-

sarily make the other two-thirds right. Not to worry:Our third is strong, mounted on a solid philosophicalfoundation built by individuals of all ages, and it’s notgoing to go away. Witness these snippets from an op-ed piece -

“Forgetting Facebook” – written last April by collegestudent Joshua Aromin and published in “The Good5-Cent Cigar,” the student newspaper at theUniversity of Rhode Island:“. . . I’m back to a time when event invitations still

came in the mail, getting poked meant physically get-ting touched, a friend was more than a web page, and[Facebook co-founder] Mark Zuckerberg was just an-other student at Harvard University. I’m back to atime before Facebook. I’ve deactivated my account . . .“Of course, it’s my own fault to let a voluntary web-

site, with which I freely chose to make an account,take that much control of me. Facebook doesn’t emitnicotine through my computer monitor forcing me tolog on every few minutes, though it felt like it did. Ijust lacked self-control, which prompted me to deacti-vate my account.“Facebook isn’t a bad thing. It’s a tool that I

overused to the point where it was detrimental to me.Whenever I was home, I wasted hours perusing thenetworking website, which led to late nights thatcould have been spent doing more useful things likeupdating my resume, or even simpler things likesleeping.”And what does this all have to do with Points East?

Well, this issue marks the fifth year of our dedicatedFamily/Children issue, with its usual mix of wonder,nonsense, and family fun. After five years of familyboating stories – and lobsterdogs, firedogs and pot-bellied pigs baring their anthropomorphic souls onour pages – you know we care a lot about the qualityof young people’s lives – quality as it pertains to theirfutures as creative, productive, self-reliant, responsi-ble and happy individuals. Recently, we encountered a poem, “The Hundred

Languages of Children,” by Italian early educationspecialist Loris Malaguzzi, that set us back on ourheels. The last few lines follow:The child has a hundred languages (and a hundred hundred hundred more) but they steal ninety-nine the school and the culture separate the head from the body.

They tell the child to think without hands to do without head to listen and not speak to understand without joy to love and marvel only at Easter and Christmas. They tell the child to discover the world already there and of the hundred they steal ninety-nine. They tell the child that work and play reality and fantasy science and imagination sky and earth reason and dreamare thingsthat do not belong together. And thus they tell the child that the hundred is not there. The child says: No way. The hundred is there! “Learning and teaching should not stand on oppo-

site banks and just watch the river flow by,”Malaguzzi wrote. “Instead, they should embark to-gether on a journey down the water. Through an ac-tive, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthenlearning how to learn.” So good for you, Joshua Aromin, for realizing that

your dependence upon the networking website wasunhealthy – that, for you, Facebook and your blos-soming reality were on opposite banks of the river oflife, which you’d only been watching as it flowed by inall its turmoil and beauty.

Anchoring and phylum MolluscaRe: W.R. Cheney’s article “Anchoring and a Good

Night’s Sleep” (Guest Perspective, May 2010) and thethings that can foul an anchor, here is one of my experi-ences. I was crew on board an L. Francis HerreshoffMeadowlark ketch. We were anchored just off the IdaLewis Yacht Club in Newport, riding on a Herreshoffyacht anchor, of course. There had been a fresh breeze from the south-south-

west, but a front had just come through bringing a freshnorth-northwest breeze. I went forward after the boathad swung to the new breeze and felt the rode: no vi-bration; the anchor had reset well. At that point, I no-ticed a yawl sailing, stern-first, down the wind, draggingher anchor. She was headed straight for the yacht club,which is built on a mass of rock. She was also unat-tended. My skipper and I managed to jump into the dink and

row over and board her. We immediately veered outmore rode but the anchor would not bite. She was al-most on the rocks at this point. We managed to signal ayacht club launch, which got to us just before “crunchtime” and got us onto an empty mooring. Upon bringing the anchor home we found that it was

a Danforth and something had caught in the flukes notallowing it to reset when it flipped over after the windshift. The accompanying photo shows the dumb-lookingguy on the right, me, and on the left, the owner of theyawl, a 34-foot wooden Rhodes, holding the offendinganchor-jammer: a quahog. Said quahog later went intoa tasty bit of chowder. Even in a fairly protected harbor,lying to just one anchor when not on board, is risky.

Douglas W. Meyervia email

We hope he likes the articles, tooDon’t change a thing! I like the coarse paper, the

folksy ads, and no real-estate pitch.L.W. Johnson, Esq.Amesbury, Mass.

Kennedys gave us good memoriesWhile at the Coast Guard Museum in Barnstable

on Cape Cod, I picked up a copy of Points East. I en-joyed the article on the Crosby Yard and the WiannoSr. As a kid I used to sail my Cape Cod Junior CatSandpiper in the Hyannis and Hyannisport areawhen we were there on holiday. I remember seeingthe Kennedy boats out and often, seeing some crazythings. I remember seeing Bobby’s boat, the Resolute (same

name as my present boat), being sailed by EthelKennedy and the kids climbing up the mast hoopswhile she was hiked over and then sliding down thesail into the cockpit. I often thought that a quickchange in the wind would catapult them half way toNantucket. I also remember the Shriver boat, Head Start, as

the three were moored behind the jetty inHyannisport. One time, I almost collided with EthelKennedy as we both came out at the stern of a largesloop and didn’t see each other. Good memories. The yard that launches my present boat for me,

Oyster Harbors Marine, is right across from Crosby’s.I did sail a Wianno once. I remember it as solid andheavy, not at all like my present fiberglassMacGregor, which is the same length.

Tom ConnollyEllington, Conn.

Victura should be living historyI truly enjoyed “The Crosby Charisma” by

Stephanie Ocko in the June 2010 issue of Points East.I recall seeing the Kennedy’s Wianno Junior mountedon its concrete pedestal outside the JFK Library anumber of years ago. It is kept up very nicely by its caretakers, but I re-

member thinking at the time what a shame it is thata boat that gave so much pleasure to its owners, eventhough it is an historic artifact, is propped up onstones rather than sailing, on display like a thief inthe stocks rather than happily bowling along in its el-ement. It seemed sad and a bit ridiculous, all at the same


time, that this fine, old boat should be canted absurd-ly on an angle – as though it were actually heeling ona windward beat – while sitting immobile on thehard, lashed by summertime winds and thunder-storms while going nowhere.I understand that Victura is part of our history and

K-culture, and that we cannot afford her to be lost oraccidentally damaged or sunk, but pardon my senti-ment, a boat like that ought to have kids in it. Itought to be sailing around the harbor, or Hyannis, orBuzzard’s Bay, taking out youngsters from the innercity, or handicapped kids, school groups, the YoungRepublicans, and others.It’s a shame to let the poor, old craft just sit there

and weather away. I wonder if Jack, Bobby, and Tedwouldn’t agree.

Capt. Mike Martels/v PrivateerBristol, R.I.

He’s not the first but the closestI may not be the first to respond to the picture in

your Points East paper (April 2010), but I am closerto the location of the Mystery Harbor than anyone. I am the last living Lowell to have worked at the

boat shop, which was back in the ’30s. The shop hasbeen in my family since 1793, starting with Gideon,then Simeon, Hiram, Benjamin, Fred A., Fred C.,Walter, my father, and the last Lowell was Ralph, myolder brother, now deceased.I probably know more about it than anyone at this

time as I was born and brought up a few houses away.I have a complete archive at my home in Wellesleyand memorabilia. I am also in a picture taken of theboat shop gang while I was home on leave while serv-ing three and a half years in the Navy.This may not win a hat, but I couldn’t help but re-

spond. I contribute regularly to Lowell’s continuenceas a teaching woodworking shop. This was a nice pic-ture, but I have dozens very similar, all to be left in

triplicate to my children.The note from “J.P.” in Newburyport (“G.

Washington Served in a Lowell,” May 2010) thatGeorge Washington crossed the Delaware [in aLowell] is a lot of hogwash. I know GeorgeWashington was president in 1797, but I have themost extensive history of the shop and think hisstatement is a real stretch. We didn’t make the styleof boat he is pictured in.

Philip B. LowellWellesley, Mass.

May cover is double-edged swordMy letter was inspired by the May 2010 cover pho-

to of a young woman holding a striped bass. I thoughtyour readers might want to know that it is probablynot a good idea for her to eat it because of the highlevels of PCBs found in striped bass caught along theEast Coast, from New Jersey to Maine. I quote thesource of my information, a major report on recre-ationally caught striped bass that came out in 2008,so people can check out the facts for themselves. I am a marine biologist at Northeastern

University’s Marine Science Center(www.biology.neu.edu/faculty03/Cheney.html) inNahant, Mass., who specializes in marine pollution.I’ve been working for several years specifically onPCBs in marine and estuarine food webs, so that’swhy I am familiar with the report and the dangers ofeating striped bass in general, and particularly towhat is described as the “Sensitive Population,”which consists of young women of childbearing agejust like the woman pictured on the May cover. Keep up the good work. I think Points East is the

best and most helpful boating magazine out there,and I look forward to reading every issue.

Don CheneyIpswich, Mass.

Hippo was bult by N.Y. LaunchAny misinformation in “The Fall and Rise of the

Hippocampus” is mine, of course. I have been sort of aHippo historian after the death of Capt. Erland“Cappy” Quinn some 20 years ago. Cappy looked afterthe Hippo all his life, working on her as a kid with hisbrother Bonney, later as captain after Lamont Greendrowned. He later owned and fished with her formany years after her mailboat career. Anyhow, the Hippocampus is 104 years old, was 55

feet long, and was built in 1906 by the New YorkLaunch and Engine Co., not the famous ConsolidatedCo. I met a Jane Masterson, who is writing a bookabout all the yachts her grandfather built, many ofwhich are still afloat. The Hippo was the first, and the97-foot Olympus, in 1929, was the last.

There was another, similar yacht on Eagle Islandbuilt by Consolidated that got confused by a JohnEnk in his book, “A Family Island in Penobscot Bay,”and I used this information in an article I wrote forDown East magazine in 1988. Go to “NavSourceOnline” and look up SP 654-Hippocampus.

Thanks for the PFD West MarineLast week, I attended the crew match party and

saw that there was an inflatable PFD from WestMarine on the table with the door prizes. Deep down,I really wished that I could win that one and hungaround just to see. Lo and behold, I did win it and Ithank the good energy that sent it my way, as I usu-ally win nothing. And also thank you, West Marineand Points East, for having it as a prize.Last year, while crewing for a race during the Fall

Series, I really wished that I had a PFD as the cross-wind was very strong and we had some harrowingmoments. Upon returning to shore, I decided that Iwas going to get an inflatable PFD if I was going tohave a future with racing. Wishing you had a PFD when you need one does not

help you at the moment! And of course, I was too coolto grab one of the foam ones from the boat. A PFD is

like wearing a bike helmet or a downhill ski helmet.We now wear a helmet during these activities re-gardless that they may never become necessary toprotect you from a bad accident, and we don’t thinkless of ourselves while wearing them. But we wouldconsider people a bit careless if they don’t have a hel-met while skiing or biking. However, because it was my last race of the season,

and because of the cost, I decided to putting off pur-chasing one till spring. But now that I have won it asa door prize, I am going to wear it anytime I feel com-pelled to, and it may be every time I am participatingin a race.

Ecoboating brochures are popularI finally remembered to pick up your May Points

East this weekend at Stonington Harbor Yacht Club’scommissioning-day ceremonies. Thank you so muchfor the wonderful news bulletin and printing the cov-er of our Boater’s brochure in color to attract readers“CUSH Offers Free Ecoboating Brochures.” We verymuch appreciate your continued support.The brochure has been very well received. We

printed 5,000 copies in early March and expected torun out in May. Local marinas are distributing them

Rhode Island race season underwayYesterday (May 18) was the first night of racing in

the Tuesday night Cox series at the Barrington YachtClub. It was a cold wet one. I took fewer photosthan usual due to rain (trying to keep my cameradry) and our regular main trimmer missed the raceso I was on the mainsheet.Check my flickr slide show for a dozen more pics

before the start including nice shot of the crew onGlamorous Glenice.

PS. I'm happy to report I felt very comfortableand secure wearing my new Mustang inflatable PFD.

Night swimming and leaky dinksThe other day I was reminded of when we lived in

Brunswick, Maine, and we did our boating from MerePoint and visited most of the islands in Casco Bay. Ourboat was a wooden strip-built “Pogo” designed by FredBates. It was an open boat about 22 feet long and eas-ily held two or three families, friends, camping gear, orfishing equipment. The boat belonged to some dearfriends who were kind enough to share their adven-tures with us.This particular adventure happened after a long

summer day on the water. The marina launch servicestopped at 7 p.m. Boaters who arrived back late hadto arrange for their own transport from boat to shore.Most had dinghies, but for those who didn’t, the mari-na had thoughtfully provided a couple of rowboatsthat were kept tied to the fuel dock. Calling these two wrecks “rowboats” might be an

overstatement as both vessels were derelict fisher-men’s punts that had long ago outlived their useful-ness. They spent most of the summer swamped, gen-tly rubbing against each other, bobbing amidst the seagrass at the end of the docks. They were seldom used. We had gotten the most out of a beautiful summer

day boating on Casco Bay and had arrived back at themarina just as it was getting dark. We slid up to thefuel dock and unloaded coolers, picnic baskets, wivesand sleepy kids. I volunteered to help Grant put theboat out on the mooring. “Grab one of those skiffs,”Grant said. “We’ll have to take it with us.” I found a plastic bucket and bailed one of the skiffs

dry, then scrounged up two mismatched oars. “Justhang on to the line,” Grant said, and we motored outinto the harbor. We made the big boat fast to themooring, switched off the running lights and snappedthe mooring cover down tight. By now it was dark, butthe floodlights from the marina lit our way ashore.“Get in,” Grant said, and we lowered ourselves overthe side into the leaky skiff. “Careful, she’s a bit tipsy.” There were no oarlocks. We had to paddle the skiff

canoe -fashion. We aimed the old boat toward theshore and paddled like crazy, but our little voyage wasdoomed from the start. Even as we struggled to shovethe rickety boat along it was taking on water at analarming rate and settling from under us. The sinking

was anticlimatic. The old wooden boat just filled withwater and slipped away. We were left treading water in the warm summer

ocean. “Better swim for it,” Grant said, and we bothbegan sidestroking toward the parking lot floodlights.Dungarees, sneakers and a sweatshirt made swim-ming awkward, and progress was slow. Would we everget there? After a few minutes of struggling, Grant said,

“Stand up. stand up, it’s low tide.” I let my feet settledown and touch bottom. Sure enough, we were still acouple hundred feet from shore, but we were standingin just four feet of water! The long, slow slog to shore

beat swimming.By now, the kids had fallen asleep in the van, and

our wives were anxiously pacing at the end of thedock. “We made it,” we yelled at them. “Great night fora little swim.” “What happened to you?” the girls scolded. “You look

like a couple of drowned rats!”We never found out what happened to the old skiff,

and the marina owner never mentioned it.Randy Randall

I’ve never been there, but from your “obscure hint”,it sounds like East Greenwich, Rhode Island.

Lea B. PendletonMarblehead, Mass.

Editor’s note: Well, you’reright. We guess the hint was-n’t that obscure after all. Wethought we were being soclever. Normally, to get your

Points East designer yacht-ing cap, the winner has towhip up a few paragraphstelling readers about theMystery Harbor they’ve iden-tified: Their experiencesthere, moorings available,anchorages in the area, hold-ing ground, depths, protec-tion from what directions,hazards at the approach, his-torical and personal anec-dotes, whether or not theirboat is moored there, any lo-cal characters, wildlife, near-by provisioning, things to donearby, etc. etc.However, insofar as you’ve

never been to EastGreenwich, this is an impos-sibility. So technically, youcan’t win the hat.

Lea responds: Come on, you guys. I have been par-ticipating in this game for several years, always latewhen I got it right. Now you say I won but you maynot give me the prize because, despite 22 years ofcoastal cruising between the Reversing Falls of NewBrunswick (with the Fundy Flotilla) and Sag Harbor,Long Island (but mostly in Maine), I never made it toEast Greenwich and cannot relate anything about it. I did check the town out on the Internet before I re-

sponded, to make sure it had a harbor. At least I de-serve an honorable mention, complete with a PointsEast designer cap. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said inhis essay, “Self Reliance,” “A foolish consistency is thehobgoblin of little minds.” Here, where no one got itright the first time around, an exception to the usualrules is called for. And besides, I really want the cap.

Editor’s note: Not wanting to admit that PointsEast harbors a hobgoblin with a little mind, we sur-rendered to the onslaught, bent the rules, and gaveLea her much deserved hat.

Exciting time in Mystery HarborThe Location of the June Mystery Harbor is East

Greenwich, R.I. While we currently sail out ofRobinhood, Maine, back in 1978, when we had ourBristol 24, we spent an exciting evening in EastGreenwich. During the passage of a particularlymemorable cold front, a sailboat anchored a couple ofhundred feet off our port bow began dragging. Wealerted him with our air horn and, luckily, he was ableto reset his anchor before any damage was done.

Also, after reading your “obscure” hint, we felt itmust be East Greenwich, referring to GreenwichMean Time.

Cruising styles commensurate with age

Ispent my second longest continuoustime on board a boat this past winter.It was seven months on the trawler

Osprey, compared to my two and one-halfyears in the early ’60s cruising and sail-ing on the schooner Coaster. I was 30years old with Coaster and 78 years oldwith Osprey. I never slept ashore in ei-ther adventure, maybe passed out thereonce and again during the younger expe-rience.The Coaster time was spent traveling

from Maine to the Bahamas, to the VirginIslands, down the West Indies toTrinidad, the Dutch Antilles, Columbia,Panama, through the canal to Hawaii(5,100 sea miles in 49 days), solo to the SocietyIslands, back to Hawaii, and to Alaska, Ketchikan to

Juneau. The Osprey time was spent cruis-ing the Intracoastal Waterway,Chesapeake Bay to Florida, over to theBahamas’ Abaco Islands, back to Florida,and up the ICW to Maine. There were no large-scale charts aboard

Coaster, and I winged it in some of thedamndest places, such as all the anchor-ages in the South Pacific Society Islands.And there were enough charts and cruis-ing guides on Osprey to symbolically over-whelm the Library of Congress. The only navigation gear on Coaster

was a sextant, a taffrail log, dividers, plot-ter, pencils, sounding lead, and a 12-foot-long boathook. Coaster’s engine almost

never ran. Osprey is fitted with two GPS chartrecorders, depthsounder, VHF radio, an autopilot, a

fully instrumented engine that always ran. Coaster had a two-burner oil-fired stove, kerosene

lamps, and an ice box, and Osprey has a home-typerefrigerator and freezer, many electric lights, astereo system, and a pair of laptop computers.Coaster carried a Dyer dinghy, until it was lost offthe island of Kaui, with a British Seagull outboard.Osprey has an inflated dinghy that houses on thetransom with a Mercury outboard.The two boats are as suited to my age as they are

to the role they were asked to fill. It takes a 30-year-old with a devil-may-care attitude to singlehand orshorthand a 12-ton old, wooden, gaff-headedschooner, and even a 78-year-old can shorthand a 10-ton trawler. I cannot come up with an anchorage ora passage that had any question marks while cruis-ing with Osprey. On Coaster, however, I can recallvery few anchorages and passages where I bothknew where I was and precisely where Iwas going. As example, I sailed solo from Oahu to

the Society Islands with just an oceanchart not even showing island namesmuch less exact locations and harbors. Iknew I would find one of the islands, andon my 17th day did so, wended my way be-hind a clearly visible reef to anchor, rowed

ashore, and asked the first person I met where I was.He answered in French, and I am not multilingual,which made very little difference in my understand-ing since I had no chart to use for identification. On Osprey, Mary Beth and I actually got quite

used to cruising over depths averaging about fivefeet since we only carried four feet of boat below us.We more often anchored, but would buy a marinaslip when we needed to find a land-based bar with aTV set to watch the Red Sox or the Celtics or to re-plenish the grocery inventory or to fill fuel tanks.The guides gave us shore maps with facility loca-tions and harbor charts with marina details and en-try routes. Because of the pair of GPS chartrecorders, we didn’t even bother to perform anydead-reckoning chores, no plan of chart headingsand distances. I even had a reluctance to consult themagnetic compasses for steering.

I wonder what the next boat project willbe? My old schooner Eagle will be backwith me this summer, and she will re-mind me that, even at my age, the oldways still hold their compelling charm.

Welcome home Dodge and Mary Beth.We await your next voyaging plans withbated breath.


Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymoreIt’s 3:22 a.m. on a Friday in June and I’m

sitting on Elsa’s starboard berth lookingacross at a small oil painting ofMarblehead Harbor that highlights ahandful of gaff-rigged sloops andschooners from another century. Thepainting has a wonderful patina, and now,further illuminated by the gimbaledkerosene lamp near its gold frame, it holdsmy gaze for more than a few moments. I’m up at 3:22 a.m. because I awoke with

an idea for this column, and I knew adeadline was fast approaching. No moretime for staring at a painting. While mymini laptop is firing up, I flip on the VHFand turn it to “scan,” maybe yearning forsome company at this odd hour. My column was going to be about how 99.9 percent

of boaters don’t know how to dock. Snobbish of me,but true. I begin outlining the physics of why one canquite easily dock, initially, without any bow or sternlines and even without any bow or stern person. It’salways bugged me the dangerous way that peopledock, throwing and missing lines, jumping off thedeck too early, cleating bow lines too early, andspringing the stern out away from the dock, oftengenerating much yelling and scrambling all around,and even perhaps an unplanned swim between dockand boat. When docking the wrong way, things canchange for the worse mighty quickly. Anyway, I was thinking about all this when the

VHF stopped scanning and started blaring its emer-gency signal on Channel 16. About the same time, Iheard a few raindrops on the cabin top, which sound-ed oddly heavy, like falling fishing weights. Tornadowatch: Possible two-inch hailstones, and 70-knotwinds possible, the digitized man on the VHF told me.So I forgot about my docking column and got to think-ing about tornados, which seemed appropriate giventhe moment. Besides, rowing ashore right thenseemed a bad idea. A couple of summers ago, I was headed alone from

Marblehead to Maine on Elsa. At the eastern end ofthe Annisquam Canal, which bisects Cape Ann, I be-gan to head back out to sea for the 20-mile stretch tothe Isles of Shoals off the New Hampshire coast whenthe sky sent a poignant message. About the sametime, my low-end (read: not smart) cell phone rang. Itwas my gadget-head, weather-head friend. “Stay inthe Annisquam,” he commanded, “I’m tracking thesedeath cells and even a tornado on my iPhone, andyou’ll get hit for sure before you make Isles of Shoals.” “Thanks,” I said. “I will, but keep me posted, OK?

And, by the way, do you have to always callthem ‘death cells’? How about just saying‘bad thunderstorms?”“You know David, if you weren’t so cheap

and had a smart phone yourself, you’d seewhat I mean.” Then he hung up his reallysmart phone, no doubt moving on to an-other “app” (maybe one predicting 21st-century atmospheric anomalies off theIsles of Shoals), and leaving me in waiting. The next morning at dawn he called me

again. “Go, go, go…go right now. Go, go, go.I’ve computed a window of under fivehours for you to make it to the Shoals be-tween death cells if you leave right now.”So off I went, pushing Elsa for all she was

worth, while looking over my shoulder for the rapidlyencroaching death cells. After my arrival and a safemooring, the sky fell, the death cells came, and torna-dos hit New Hampshire. One person was killed. But the closest I came to a tornado was on the

Mississippi River in St. Paul one summer. I was cap-taining a sternwheel-driven river-cruise ship at thetime, and on this particular trip we were loaded witha band, dinner, a giant wedding cake, one groom, onebride, 400 guests, a bunch of caterers, and my crew offive. I was particularly excited about this charter be-cause I love wedding cake and, as captain, was cer-tain I could score a big piece. As we headed upstream along the heavily-wooded,

state-park section of the river, I received a VHF warn-ing about a tornado heading east toward Minneapolisand St. Paul. On the intercom I called my crew chief,who was two decks below managing a very busy bar.I could hear the band in the background blaring“Rollin’ on the River” for what must have been thehundredth time that summer. “Shawn, I need you in the pilot house RIGHT

NOW,” I said. Shawn was a sincere, fairly innocent21-year-old college senior who had been my crew chieffor three summers. It seemed I’d just turned off theintercom when, bingo, there he was, breathing heavi-ly but standing proudly at the door in his white shirtwith its two gold epaulets. “Hey, Cap, what’s up?”“Tornado coming very soon. Chief. I’m taking all

135 feet of this floating wedding cake and driving herinto the trees, then holding her there tight with theengaged paddlewheel. I want you to get another crew-man on the winch, drop the swing stage ramp overthe bow, and when the bow hits the beach, grab yourheaviest anchor line, jump ashore off the stage, andtie it to the biggest tree you can find. “Then I want you to have the crew close all the win-

DavidRoper


dows on the main deck. And do it subtly Shawn. Idon’t want the guests to know about the tornado un-til they have to. I don’t want panic. If it’s going to hitus for sure, I’ll announce over the P.A. for everyone tomove to the main deck; you and the whole crew willthen get every single person to do so. Just say,‘Captain’s orders’ if they ask why. I don’t want pan-icked people jumping into the water or running intothe woods.” Shawn took in all the information with utter con-

cern, his eyes darting from me to the sky in the west.“And Chief,” I added, “When you’re done with tyingoff, come back to the pilothouse.” And off he went. Even though she was 135 feet long, this stern-

wheeler was flat-bottomed and drew only two feet ofwater, making her a beachable ship. All went well,and Shawn dutifully returned to the pilot house. “Puton a lifejacket,” I said as he entered. “It’s headed thisway. Got reports that giant elms to the west ofMinneapolis have been yanked from their roots, six-foot pieces of the sidewalk still attached.” Shawn sat in the corner of the pilothouse, stared at

the sky, hands folded tightly in his lap, and slowlyturned as white as a Minnesotan in January. I wastalking to police, Coast Guard, and towboat pilots asthe tornado approached. My veteran towboat pilotfriend Big Red, captain of the massively poweredMike Harris, was on the radio as usual, following ev-

erything. “Better get them two folks married rightquick before she hits there, Cappy,” he chimed in.“Might be a short marriage – maybe shorter eventhan some of mine – but that way them two can atleast get to heaven together, married and legal andall.” Shawn listened to all this very carefully. Then he

stood up and walked back and forth, faster and faster,in the pilothouse, looking skyward from each side.Finally, he turned to me, his white face seeminglysprouting from his bulky bright orange life jacket.“Cap, please…I’m really scared…Do I have to stay uphere?” Just then the report came in: The tornado had

veered north after hitting south Minneapolis, andwas tracking away from our Mississippi River loca-tion. I watched the color return to Shawn’s face.“Chief,” I said, “New assignment for you: Go to themain deck and steal me a giant piece of weddingcake.” “My honor, Cap,” he said, already heading out the

door. “And Shawn, take off that life jacket. You’ll scare

somebody.”

Safety at sea for me (woof!)GUEST PERSPECTIVE/Shadow the Firedog

Safety at sea is paramount. This cannot be empha-sized enough. For all of you four legged K-9s outthere, we need to make sure that our families

know the ins and outs of keeping us safe, too. Don’t getme wrong, it is fun being with our best friends, whetheron land or on sea, but by following a few simple rules, weall can be safe and go home at the end of the day.In the August 2009 Points East, a pot-bellied pig

named Piggy Sue called both Boon (the Lobsterdog) andme out for being in photographs and not wearing ourpersonal flotation devices – our life jackets.Interestingly enough, Boon and I chatted about this andwill try to get together some time to further discuss thepig’s article – perhaps over a breakfast of bacon andeggs. That said, Piggy Sue has a good point. Whenever you

talk safety, you must lead by example. I wear my lifejacket faithfully when under way in the big boat, andmost always in the dinghy – but I should do that 100percent of the time.Rule #1: Wear a good quality life jacket. Dogs, like

people, come in different sizes and shapes. Interestingly,

humans often resemble their best friends: Some aresmall in stature and require smaller PFDs, and othersare larger and require something a bit different. Makesure the PFD fits snuggly so it will not be possible for itto slip off us when we are in the water or are being lift-ed out of the water, and still give us enough breathingroom so we can curl up and go to sleep on those longpeaceful cruises. There are many brands out there. My newest life jack-

et is one built by Outward Hound (www.myoutward-hound.com). It has a lot of flotation, comfortable largebelly flaps to keep the straps off of my underneath, anice comfortable collar, and bright reflective stripes.Now don’t get me wrong, I can swim, but when panicsets in, we webbed-footed, four-legged creatures canpanic just like humans. A good life jacket will give youthe time to circle around and fetch us out of the water.Rule #2: Be sensitive of temperature, water, etc.

Summer cruising with the family is awesome. Please besure to keep an eye on how high the temperature is, andthat we’re getting plenty of water. We can’t sweat, so ifwe’re down below and there’s not much air circulating,

it’s pretty easy to overheat. This is especially true ifwe’re wearing a good PFD, which provides a lot of insu-lation and keeps in our body heat higher than normal. Provide us with lots of clean, fresh water and, if nec-

essary, keep our fur wet so we can stay cool. Shade in abreeze is one of my favorite places to hang out on theboat or on land. If we go to the beach and I don’t haveenough fresh water, I tend to drink the salt water be-cause it’s the only thing I can see to drink. My bestfriend, Rob, reminds me of how bad doing this is if I’mthirsty – it actually hurts more than it helps in the hy-dration of my parched body.Rule #3: Keep things away from me that I might get

into my mouth that are not supposed to be there. Dogslove to investigate new things. During a vacation or trip,there are always new and interesting things to sniff, rollin, and sometimes taste. They come in the form of fish-ing lures (with those dangerous hooks), dead fish onbeaches, things found in shallow water, and food stuffsthat are bad for dogs, just to name a few. My sister,Breezy, thought she was dining in luxury on a Cape Codbeach a few years ago only to require an operation. Itseems she dined on a very nice tasting skate, but thebarbs on the back of the skate did damage to her insides.She’s alright now, but it could have been much worse. Foods that humans snack on can also be bad for us.

These include onions, chocolate, grapes and raisins – allof which can sit in bowls on coffee tables out in the cock-

pit just at the right height for me to help myself. I don’tknow any better, so please help a fella out and keepthose things away from where I can get into them.Rule #4: Keep me under control so I don’t get hurt,

and don’t hurt anyone else. A leash is an important partof the equipment Rob always brings with us. Anytimewe’re around other dogs, other people, or even wildlife,I’m on leash in case I get distracted and run off in a di-rection that would put me into harm’s way. A few yearsback, a State Police Dog was on vacation with his fami-ly up in Maine and was killed when a distraction gothim to run where he shouldn’t have. This happens alltoo often. People, you’re not harming us or making us miserable

by keeping us on a leash in public: You’re helping us byprotecting us and keeping us as close to you as possible.When I’m on leash with Rob, I know he’s looking out forme at all times, and I’m an extra set of eyes and ears tohelp protect him.Cruising with our best friends at any point during the

year is great, but just do it safely, whether you walk ontwo legs or four.

NewsTake Me Fishing, the boating and fishing communi-

ties’ national campaign, has introduced three newboating and fishing patches that are available to CubScouts and Scouts. The patches are meant to promotethe merits of the sport and encourage scouts to planand organize fishing trips using the resources foundat takemefishing.org. Passport Patch: Cub Scouts and

Scouts ages 6 to 11 earn this patch bycompleting an introductory six-step pro-gram that teaches various skills to beknowledgeable, safe and confident whileboating and fishing. The Passport to Fishing andBoating Program has been recognized by the BoyScouts of America for excellence in aquat-ic education. First Catch Patch: Cub Scouts and

Scouts ages 6 to 11 earn this patch by or-ganizing a real-life fishing trip using the

resources found on takemefishing.org. Mentor Patch: Scouts ages 12 to 17

earn this patch by organizing a fishingtrip for newcomers to the sport. TheMentor Patch develops leadership quali-ties and introduces someone new to boat-ing and fishing. According to the Special Report on Fishing and

Boating, conducted by RBFF and the OutdoorFoundation, fishing is the most popular activity lead-ing to participation in other outdoor pursuits. The re-port also found that youth participants ages 6 to 12are driven by a desire for fun (78.6 percent) and an in-terest in exploring the natural world (50.9 percent).Past research shows that 90 percent of adult outdoorenthusiasts were introduced to nature-based activi-ties between the ages of 5 and 18. To register for thepatches, visit takemefishing.org/scouts.

AFTERAFTER


By Michael DerrFor Points East

We had hoped to take our trip to CuttyhunkIsland earlier in the summer. After makingand breaking plans several times because of

bad weather, my father and I realized our goal ofmaking it to the island before the end of the sailingseason was in jeopardy. In the grand scheme of cruising, the eight-hour trip

from Allen Harbor in Rhode Island’s Narragansett

Features

Decision-time came early and often off southern New England for this father/soncrew on a late-summer cruise to Cuttyhunk Island on an O’Day 26.


Bay to Cuttyhunk, just northwest of Martha’sVineyard, doesn’t conjure up images of an adventureat sea. But, my dad and I were excited just the same.Aboard our O’Day 26 Drifter, we knew the trip wouldtest our comfort zone if the weather turned bad.Although we were hoping the trip would last for the

better part of a week, work obligations whittled downour time window to a couple of days in earlySeptember, just after Labor Day. By arriving a day ortwo after the holiday weekend, we would increase our

chances of finding a spot in the island’s inner harbor,called Cuttyhunk Pond. With good depths and nearly360 degrees of surrounding land, the pond is a greatanchorage and usually becomes crowded with week-end warriors. Transient moorings are also available(for a $40 nightly fee at last check), and fresh seafoodcan be delivered right to your boat, adding to the har-bor’s appeal.As the days to our trip approached, we began study-

ing the forecast. At first, we felt like we had finally

lucked out. Early forecasts promised steady winds onDay One, averaging around 10 knots. For the returntrip, we could expect a somewhat thrilling but saferide back with northerly winds between 15 and 18knots. Seas were originally forecast at two to four

feet. That would be a bumpy ride aboard Drifter, butnothing severe. The trip was a go.Within two days of the trip, the forecast began to

sour. Instead of the moderate conditions originallypromised, we were now told to expect no wind on our

first day and a small-craft warning on the second. Ihave to admit, I felt cheated. Here we were, about aday away from departure, and the rug was beingpulled out from under us. We had been looking for-ward to this trip all summer and with our vacation

time secured, this would beour only shot before theend of the season. It wastime to rationalize.The forecast called for

the conditions to really in-tensify by late morning onour second day. We figuredif we got an early start, wewould make it back toNarragansett Bay (about a20-mile trip) before theheavy stuff arrived.Unfortunately, that wouldseverely limit our time toexplore the island, but wefigured a short trip wasbetter than no trip. So withour bags packed andDrifter adequately provi-sioned, we set out on ouradventure. As promised, the wind

was nearly nonexistent. We fired up our 10-horse-power Yanmar and set a course down the bay’s EastPassage, planning to reach open water in about threehours. As we passed Newport Harbor, we encounteredour first problem. The trusty Yanmar, which had beenhappily churning at five knots, suddenly began tosputter. After a little head scratching, we chalked the prob-

lem up to a clog in the fuel line, likely caused by agi-

Dad pilots Drifter out the channel from the inner harbor inCuttyhunk Pond. That’s the Coast Guard boathouse in thebackground.

tation from a series of large wakes from passingyachts. It was decision time: Should we pull intoNewport and work on the engine in the safety of theharbor or proceed under half-power and address the

issue once we left the bay? We opted for the latter. Luckily, we’d planned for this problem and had

brought extra fuel filters. We figured that we couldset the sails after passing Brenton Point and take ad-vantage of the gentle breeze that had filled in as wereached Rhode Island Sound. Under full sail, Drifter was struggling to make two

knots, but we were heading in the right direction, andDad was dealing with the engine issue. He inspected

the halfway point yet. Much to our chagrin, the lightwind died, forcing us to power up again. With glassyconditions and five more hours of motoring ahead ofus, we prepared ourselves for a relaxing leg.

The first thing we saw was that golf carts are thepreferred mode of transportation on the island.


Unlimited visibility allowed fora great view of Cuttyhunk,which was about 20 miles away.A barge on a long tow to oursouth was making its wayalong the Buzzards Bay ship-ping lane and seemed to be on acollision course with us. Wemade the proper adjustmentsand allowed the barge to passwell ahead. Once we were within a few

miles of the island, we radioedthe Cuttyhunk harbormasterto arrange a mooring in thepond. We figured this would beour first and last trip of theyear, so why not splurge? Agood night’s sleep was worththe $40. Although we had readthat transients should contact the harbormaster be-fore arrival, we had no luck after several attemptsand decided to wing it.We were arriving from the northwest, in between

Cuttyhunk and a desolate patch of land calledPenikese Island. The channel runs throughCuttyhunk Harbor and leads to the narrow waterwayinto Cuttyhunk Pond. Inside the pond, we found

about 40 other boats moored or anchored. Picking upa town-owned mooring was easy because the mooringballs have a three-foot mast with an eyelet on top. Noboat hook was required.

After Labor Day, fishing boats start to outnumber cruisingboats in the Inner Harbor. Cuttyhunk remains the lunkerstriped-bass capital of the world.


After tying off and tidying up the boat, we climbedinto the dinghy, which we’d towed astern. During therow ashore, we admired the character of the land-scape around us. Houses sit together in clusters alongthe hillside, just southwest of the pond. For some rea-son, I was reminded of Sweethaven Village in thePopeye movie. Nearly all of the slips were vacant, andthe dinghy dock was bare except for a skiff or two.We had about an hour of daylight left, so we tried to

see as much as we could. The first thing we noticedwas that golf carts seem to be the preferred mode oftransportation on the island. Several small SUVscould also be found along the roadside. Most ofCuttyhunk’s attractions – the corner store, marketand library – were closed by the time we arrived. Thedockside fish market and ice-cream shop were alsoclosed. Although the island’s popular eatery on wheels

called Bart’s Cart was nowhere to be found, we didsee a sign offering breakfast at the island’s bed andbreakfast. If we didn’t have to get an early start, wewould’ve checked it out.Tower Hill Road runs past Cuttyhunk’s library,

school and Methodist church, on its way to an obser-vation post at the island’s highest point. The viewfrom the top was stunning. Gay Head Lighthouse canbe seen nearly eight miles away. After taking a few

photographs, we made our way back to the dock, spot-ting the raw-bar boat making its rounds in the pond.Back aboard Drifter, we fired up the charcoal grill

and prepared for a delicious meal and some cold beer.A small skiff maneuvered over to us, and the manaboard collected our mooring fee. We finished our din-ner of steak and potatoes and settled in for an earlynight.I didn’t get the restful sleep that I wanted. It

seemed that I woke up nearly once an hour. Eachtime, I could feel the boat reacting to the stiffeningwind. Apparently, we weren’t going to get an earlyenough start. At about 6 a.m., we scrambled to getDrifter prepared for the rough trip home. We knewthat the conditions inside the well-protected harborwere a fraction of what they would be in open water.Breakfast was skipped to gain a few more minutes ofmoderate-weather sailing. Several other boats hadthe same idea. We motored out of the pond and through Cuttyhunk

Harbor. Once outside, we unfurled our genoa to itsfirst mark, and it served as a storm jib. Under thatsail, we were making about 5.5 knots from a 20-knotnortherly wind, in four- to six-foot seas. Needless tosay, we were concerned. It was decision time again:Should we turn back and ride out the weather inCuttyhunk Pond or continue on with an abundance of

caution? Again, we chose the latter. Turning backwould screw up our schedule, especially since theweather was now forecast to last well into the nextday. Soon, we realized that the little tender we were

towing was becoming a liability. With large waves hit-ting our beam, the dinghy developed a mind of itsown. We wanted to go west, and it wanted to go ev-erywhere else. Dad babysat the dinghy most of thetrip, controlling the jogging dinghy by taking up or re-lieving tension on its painter.On the return leg, we were passed by several larg-

er boats heading home from Cuttyhunk and theVineyard. I couldn’t help but think about what welooked like to them. Were we two adventure-seekingrisk-takers or two inexperienced dolts on course foran emergency tow home? I like to think the former. When we reached Narragansett Bay, we encoun-

tered another problem: The conditions in the baywere nearly as bad as they were in Rhode IslandSound. The winds had reached 25 to 30 knots by thistime, and the seas were uncharacteristically high forthe bay. We decided to sail up the bay’s west passage,which we thought would give us more room to tackthe remaining 15 miles home. We rounded BeavertailLighthouse and quickly realized there was no way tosail back. The strong wind and seas were nearly push-

ing us backwards. We furled in the sail and startedthe engine. Under normal conditions, the 10-horse-power Yanmar pushes Drifter at about five knots.Against that wind and those seas, were lucky to maketwo knots, and we settled in for a long, wet ride home.Although our Cuttyhunk trip didn’t turn out to be

the relaxing vacation we had hoped for, it was still agreat experience. We decided that towing a harddinghy in rough water is among the more frustratingexperiences we’ve had sailing. Next time, we’ll gladlypay for a slip. Also, we enjoyed Cuttyhunk’s remote-ness and solitude, but our off-season visit didn’t giveus a true feel for the island. Our next trip will be ear-lier in the summer, so we can dine at Soprano’s, apizzeria advertised as “a pizza oven held hostage in agarage,” and browse the wares of local artists. We al-so look forward to a couple of days to soak up the sunon the island’s small beach and take in the sceneryalong its hiking trails. But not to worry, there’s al-ways this year.Michael Derr is a USCG-licensed captain with over

My son Randy had just left a successful jobmarketing IT software, but he’d alwayswanted to be a lawyer, and when he was ac-

cepted at Suffolk Law, he decided to go to school full-time, beginning in August. Recently engaged, he and

Natalie had set the date for this past June, so thewindow of opportunity for father and son to cruise to-gether was nearly closed. As for me, any excuse is areason, so I jumped at the chance.And so it was that Muscobe’s pickup buoy was

dropped into the water and she once again turnedeastward on the morning of July 29, 2009. The day

“Hey Dad, think we could take a few days for a cruise to Maine before the sum-mer’s over?” Hello? Does a bear . . . ? Well, you know.

started out overcast with some fogand one- to two-mile visibility, butby the time we passed insideStraitsmouth Island at Rockport,things were improving. With the Rockport breakwater

behind us, we started the 17-mileleg to the Isles of Shoals. The fogbegan to burn off, and we movedalong easily ahead of a lightsoutherly breeze and gentle swelloff the starboard quarter pushingus along nicely. The incoming tideadded nearly an extra knot to ourcruising speed. Thus, after onlyfive hours, we pulled in for fuel atSpring Point Marina in Portland. By now it was extremely hot

ashore, and the dock attendantswere really suffering. Our fuelburn calculated at only eight gal-lons-per-hour, which was conserva-tive even for Muscobe’s stingyYanmar. Smooth seas and a littlehelp from the tide made the differ-ence. When you go 18 miles in anhour and burn only eight gallons,that turns out to be 2.25 miles pergallon. Not bad, when you’re push-ing your home along with you.We pushed off, slipped around

behind the tanker, and, motoringslowly to reduce our wake, enteredbeautiful Diamond Cove, on GreatDiamond Island, half an hour lat-er. Here, on the east side of the is-land looking out across Casco Bay,we encountered a different worldfrom the hustle and bustle ofPortland. Peace and tranquilityreigned. We washed the boat down and

opened the ports for ventilation.Sitting in the cockpit we put onPaul Sullivan’s “Nights in theGardens of Maine,” and enjoyed acold beer. Then we walked up tothe Diamond’s Edge Restaurant tosettle up, make a dinner reserva-tion (this restaurant is fabulous),and get some ice for the cooler.Back on the boat, we were lulledby the serenity of the place as theafternoon sun began to lay a softyellow glow on everything aroundus. A group of eiders swam nearby,

while an osprey flapped lazily faroverhead.We awoke to a wet, overcast

morning, and at exactly 0900 wecast off and turned south aroundLong Island, to make the cutthrough Green Island Passage be-fore turning east. As is usual inCasco Bay, big rollers were comingat us from the south, knocking usaround and making things uncom-fortable.

Once around Cape Small, theseas were on our quarter, so the go-ing was a bit easier. By the time wewere inside Seguin, the rain hadstopped and patches of blue skybegan to appear, and we proceededeasily from mark to mark.

had been settled in 1608by Humphrey Damarill(thus, “Damarill’s Cove”),who was running abustling trading centerwhen the Mayflowerstopped for supplies in1620 before continuing onto Plymouth.When we entered the

Muscle Ridge Channel,Randy took the helm andsaid, “Dad, don’t say any-thing. Let me get us toCamden,” which he did.This was Randy’s third ex-tended cruise with me, andhe had quickly learned theart of navigation. Whilemany cruising people to-day rely on their plotters, I’d always told my kids totrust the compass, to have a chart in front of them,and to know exactly where we are on it. Randy hasn’t learned all the intricacies of the

GPS/plotter yet, but he can switch screens, followwaypoints, and use the radar. In addition, he canmaintain a compass heading and read a chart nearlyas well as I can. This, as anybody who has done any

cruising knows, is a won-derful luxury for the cap-tain. At 1300 we put out the

fenders and tied along-side the WayfarerMarine gas dock. Mooreddirectly behind us wasthe L. FrancisHerreshoff-designedTiconderoga, with hergleaming white topsides,teak decks and brightsticks and superstruc-ture. First launched in1936, this glorious ketchimmediately began win-ning most of the races sheentered. Last July 4, atthe start of the

Marblehead to Halifax Race, Ticonderoga boundedacross the line ahead of everybody. We followed her at10 knots in Muscobe, and she passed us. Once settled,I grabbed a hand held VHF, and we called the launchfor a ride to town. Randy, always hungry, wanted toeat, so we went to the Waterfront Café, and later wetook a walk along Bayview Street. I particularlywanted Randy to see the Ducktrap Bay Trading

tween Great and Little Spruce Head islands, and fi-nally, Beach and Hog islands. Though I’ve been

Buck’s Harbor has always been like a trip back to 1950for me, with its little yacht club, its one intersection withan automobile mechanic’s garage and the Buck’s HarborMarket. That’s the Victory Chimes beside us.

through here many times, each trip is like anotherfirst, as weather and sea conditions are never thesame. Early on a morning like this, with flat, oilyseas, I was truly thankful that Randy could see it alllike this, as I knew it would guarantee he’d be backhere one day – aboard Muscobe or another boat – withNatalie and my future grandchildren.At 0910 we pulled up to the Bucks Harbor Yacht

Club pier. The dock attendant tied our bow line andcomplimented us on how beautiful our boat was. Sheobviously has excellent taste. This is the quintessen-tial Maine yacht club: cedar shingles with green trim,and plenty of wicker rockers lining the porch. Randy was starving again (duh!), so we satisfied

ourselves with delicious home-made muffins and pas-tries and coffee. My friend Al, who had been here sev-eral times, and I had a tradition of playing a game ortwo of ping-pong on the dilapidated table at the yachtclub. This visit, Randy took up the challenge. I dis-creetly chose the side with the windows to my back,so he would have the light in his face, but he stilltrounced me.Back aboard, Randy took the wheel and idled us out

through the moored boats. Soon we were cruisingdown Eggemoggin Reach which, along with the SirFrancis Drake Channel in the Virgin Islands, enjoys

a reputation for being one of the very best sailing ar-eas in the world. Well protected, the wind generallyruns in the same direction, making the transit aneasy “reach.” It ain’t bad for motoring along in an oldlobsterboat, either. It was my turn at the wheel as we turned east

through Casco Passage into Blue Hill Bay, wheremost of the lobster traps had toggles that become sub-merged as the tide rises. By paying attention, howev-er, we crossed uneventfully to Bass Harbor Bar andmade for the bell at Long Ledge, where we turnednorth toward Southwest Harbor. After a sweep through the harbor, we turned the

corner into Somes Sound. I’d brought Randy here inMay, but we only went as far as Valley Cove. This timeI wanted him to see it all, as this beautiful fiord is toospectacular for words in summer. The two little wa-terfalls by Valley Cove were flowing furiously due tothe wet start of the summer, and a few boats weremoored nearby enjoying the solitude. It was still ear-ly, and we had plenty of time for sightseeing, so weidled up into Somesville.At 1320 we slipped alongside Clifton Dock in

Northeast Harbor for fuel and ice. At the marinaproper, we were guided to our own slip, where webacked in, shut down, and arranged our docking andspring lines. I thought I’d left my wallet at CliftonDock, but a quick phone call revealed it wasn’t there.

On returning to the boat,I found it sitting on thelogbook where I’d left it,overhearing Randy mut-tering, “The old man is be-ginning to lose it….”We walked up Sea

Street for a great lunch atthe DocksiderRestaurant. By the timewe went back outside, itwas spitting raindrops.Nevertheless, we provi-sioned at the market andchecked out some shops.Then it was back to theboat for some music and acorner. By 3 p.m. it wasraining in earnest, so welowered the wheelhouse canvas and settled down in-side.The next morning, Aug. 1, we awoke to bright sun-

shine. It was a bit cool, and everything was wet, butwe knew we were in for another grand day. Randytook the first leg, taking us back down to Long Ledgewhere we turned west. It was one of those perfectMaine days, with smooth powder-blue water andbright sun, and in what seemed like no time at all, we

were across Jericho Bayand in the Deer IslandThorofare. At 0855 we se-cured Muscobe to theStonington town landing,next to an old working lob-ster boat loaded with sev-eral boxes of ripe saltedherring. We walked up to the

Harbor Cafe for a HogBreakfast: pancakes,French toast, eggs,sausage, ham or bacon,toast and coffee. Walkingacross the street, we en-tered the Deer IslandGranite Museum with itscollection of tools, photos

and mementos from the quarry on nearby CrotchIsland, one of the last active granite quarries. By0955 we were under way again, past the quarry,Billings Marine, Eastern Mark Island, and out intoEast Penobscot Bay. Randy brought us into the FoxIslands Thorofare, and I was pleased that he couldnow see this beautiful place in all its summer glory.

The last wisps of fog had burned off on a wet, but beautifulmorning in Northeast Harbor. Soon, we’d cast off, boundfor Stonington by way of the York Narrows.

At the west end of the thorofare, we left the SugarLoaves to port, made the stone beacon on the verynasty Fiddler Ledge, and turned 265 degrees forFisherman Island Passage, where we’d enter theMuscle Ridge Channel. By now, I had complete confi-dence in Randy’s piloting and navigation, and I knewthat if he had a question, he’d ask me before he madeassumptions.As we were rounding Pemaquid Point. I asked

Randy me to let me have her for a while, as I wantedto make a little side trip to show him the Thread ofLife, a narrow, rockbound stretch that runs down theeastern side of Rutherford Island across fromChristmas Cove. Half an hour later, we enteredBoothbay Harbor and pulled up to the Carousel gasdock. Parked alongside was a big red 40-foot YoungBrothers, which I immediately recognized as Steve

Brodecki’s Sea Shepherd. Steve keeps a mooring outat Misery Island back home, and we always stop tochat for a minute when we see him there. With somehelp from the tide and a following sea, he’d made ithere from Danversport in just five and a half hours.At the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club, I washed the

salt off Muscobe and waited for my mooring assign-ment. After dinner, we slipped out to our mooring andenjoyed a couple of corners as we watched ospreysfishing for their dinners and a pair of white-sided dol-phins that swam around the boat. The morning of our last day, there was a dungeon

fog, but no rain. After breakfast Randy carefully idledMuscobe out through the boats toward TumbleIsland. Picking up speed, but moving cautiously, weproceeded south toward the Cuckolds, where we werenow clear to increase speed and turn to a heading of262 toward the marks inside Seguin. Now began thelong, uninteresting leg to the Isles of Shoals, then the

short run home. Though he was familiar with the radar and GPS,

he’d never done any serious navigation under actualinstrument conditions. “How did you ever do this,Dad, when you just had your compass and watch tofind your way?” I smiled, remembering well thosedays. The wind was blowing 15 to 20 out of the southeast,

and we were being pushed around by swells from twodirections. With her Yanmar and new propeller,Muscobe cruises at close to 18, at which speed she’snearly planing. She’s fast, and we can get to Boothbayfrom Marblehead in six hours or less now, but, at myage, at a price. At the helm, trying to avoid becoming black and

blue, I suddenly sensed an acrid, burning smell. ThenRandy pointed alarmingly up at the VHF, wheresmoke was pouring out of the wiring. I yanked backon the throttle and thought, “Dammit! We’re on fire!” Dozens of thoughts rushed simultaneously through

my head, including, We’re eight miles offshore in fogand the boat’s going to burn up before anyone can getto us.Reason and instinct, born of a life on the water, then

took hold. We shut off all the circuit-breaker switchesexcept the electronics. It was over almost immediate-ly, and the smoke stopped. Everything continued torun. I switched the VHF to a weather channel, and

the computerized voice droned into the wheelhouse. Ifelt the casing covering the wiring: No heat. I sentRandy out to check the running light it, and he re-ported that the starboard light was out, with scorchmarks in the gelcoat, and the port light was stillshowing red. With the mystery solved, we resumedour way.At last we passed through the Isles of Shoals and

turned for the Annisquam “A” buoy. Seventeen moremiles. Another hour. At the other end, the BlynmanBridge tender raised the bridge for us, and by 3:30, af-ter seven and a half hours of steaming, we securedMuscobe’s mooring pendants to her bitt, after a de-lightful five-day cruise.It is said that boats cannot have souls. If that is

true, why then, do we refer to them as “she,” ratherthan “it?” And how can we come to love some of themas we do? I choose not to believe it is mere coincidencethat Muscobe has protected me and my family,through so many experiences, over so many years.Once again, she had brought us home safe and sound. Joel Gleason holds a 100-ton USCG Master’s license

and has been boating out of Marblehead since he wassix. Randy finished his first year at Suffolk Law withhonors and is clerking for a judge this summer. Heand Natalie were married on Cape Cod on June 12.He has joined the Corinthian Yacht Club and dreamsof owning a boat just like Muscobe one day.


By Boon the Lobsterdog, with Jack Tracksler

For Points East

Winter is a quiet time for lobstermen and lob-sterdogs here in Maine. Most of the potshave been hauled and most of the boats are

on the hard. That’s usually true for me and myfriend Adam. My name is Boon and I live in KitteryPoint. I work on the lobsterboat. Oh, I’m a Bernese mountain dog, and I’ve got a ter-

rific life. When I’m not napping, or at the beach, I’mout in front of Gerrish Island with Adam, helping tohaul gear (bring the lobster pots onto the boat) andloving every minute of it.Well, that’s the way winter used to be, until Adam

and his friend Nate decided to build a new boat. This

Our new stealth lobsterboatIn a light mist, you won’t see her, andwith her motor (named Davey), youwon’t hear her, so she won’t scare the“bugs” or disturb my naps.

I’m a Bernese mountain dog, and I’ve got a terrific life,helping Adam haul gear on our new fishing vessel, the KLT.

winter we were at it every day: build, build, andmore build. Wow, it sure takes a lot of work to builda boat. Everything started last fall when we hauled all

out gear and took the GKB (you remember our oldboat, the Gotta Keep Bailing?) for her last trip. Weheaded Downeast where the GKB will spend the restof her days at the Sailing Museum of Downeast.She’s the representative of what old herringschooners used to be. The Museum folks are going tofix her up like she was when she was new andhauled herring up and down the East Coast over 100years ago, It was a great trip, and I’m looking for-ward to seeing how she turns out.Building a boat is not the easiest thing to do, but

Nate and Adam had it pretty well figured out. AsAdam said, “You first lay the keel and then just workyour way up.” That sounded simple to me, but it re-ally isn’t. There’s a lot of stuff that goes into build-ing a boat – especially a wooden boat. You may notbelieve it, but I think a boat is a lot like a dog. A boathas knees, ribs and a head, just like me. Heck, a boatmust be just like a dog because, in the old days, theyeven called some a bark. However, you don’t seemany dogs hauling lobster pots; we have to leavethat work to boats, not dogs.Building the hull was only part of what was going

on. Normally, folks buy an engine to put in the boatto run all the gear and also make you go through thewater. The new boat would have a brand-new engine,too, but this kind of engine had never been built be-fore. Adam’s Uncle Dave came up with the idea andinvented it. It’s called a Compound Steam Enginewith recumbent fuel recycling handling both powerand electronics through generator and storage bat-teries. I just call it Davey. The other stuff is way toomuch to remember.Adam told me that Davey would only need about a

gallon of fuel for the whole year. It seems that it justneeds a bit to get it started, and then it sort of keepsitself going. How neat is that? And here’s the incred-ible part: It doesn’t make any noise. I can’t wait tohear this – or . . . er . . . maybe not hear this. ButDavey will get us through the water at somewherebetween 10 and 15 knots, according to Uncle Dave.That means our “commute” to our gear out in frontof Gerrish Island will be a lot shorter. Adam thinksthat’s great, but for me, it means less naptime, andthat’s not so great.Well, work continued all winter on the new boat.

After the keel was laid, Adam and Nate started onthe ribs. And this is the weird part – they turned theboat upside-down, which is no easy task with 35-footlobsterboat. I never saw so many winches and pul-

But, as all lobsterdogs know, itis time that tells. So there sat the boat, with Daveyand his fuel tank taking up no more space than twolobster pots. That gave Nate and Adam a lot moreroom for the lobster tanks so we could hold morethan before. This is a good thing when you have hun-gry mouths to feed.As the weeks went by, she started to look more and

more like a boat. The decks were installed and thenthe wheelhouse. And everything fit together. Even Iwas amazed. One day Adam and Nate were talking:

“it was just going too smoothly,” I overheard Natesay. “Yeah, well, it’s not too terrible,” Adam added.

Nate looked at Adam, saying, “You put the transomon backwards – that’s fairly terrible.” So, with a fewhyphenated words and some laughing, they went towork to correct the problem. It was very early in themorning two days later when they finished. Adamlooked at Nate and said, “Like my Dad says, ‘mea-sure once, cut twice.’” And so it goes with boats; it’salways something.If you think it’s hard to build a boat, you should

hear all the discussions on what color to paint them.Do we want to reflect the sun, do we want to absorbthe sun, and are there any other boats that color,will anyone be upset with the color. Nate is a tradi-tionalist – white hull, buff decks – case closed. Adamused to be an architect, and his wife Kathy is anartist, so color was the topic of conversation at ourhouse most nights after dinner.

THERACINGPAGESBella Mente’s ‘Gut’ instinct wins Storm Trysail Club Block Island Race


THERACINGPAGESIn a race where choosing sides is key,

the crew aboard Hap Fauth’s(Minneapolis, Minn./Newport, R.I.) 69-foot Mini Maxi Bella Mente used their“Gut” instinct and flawless teamworkto win the Storm Trysail Club’s 65thBlock Island Race. Choosing Plum Gutover an equally notorious passagecalled The Race on the way to BlockIsland and then again coming back,proved critical to Bella Mente in its tak-ing of line honors after almost 19 1/2hours of sailing. The 186-nautical mile race began

Friday afternoon, May 28, and sentBella Mente and 95 other IRC- andPHRF-rated boats off on a course fromStamford, Conn., down Long IslandSound, clockwise around Block Island,and back. While Bella Mente finishedat 11:40 Saturday morning of MemorialDay weekend, the last of the smallerboats finished nearly 23 hours later.“It’s the key to every Block Island Race,choosing between The Gut and TheRace,” said Bella Mente’s navigatorDirk Johnson from Middletown, R.I.,who picked the former for both headingout and heading in. “Frankly from anavigational perspective, it’s a truetest. Anyone can make it on a fair tide,but we hit it at foul tide both ways, andfor a two-mile stretch on the way back,the crew had to make four sail changes.They had to be ready for everythingand be flawless at all times.”“It was a lovely race, with a full moon,

and really enjoyable, which is what ismost important to me,” said Rives Potts(Westbrook, Conn.), whose Custom 48-foot Carina won its IRC class and theGeorge Lauder Trophy for best perfor-mance by a vintage boat. “We sail witha bunch of young people on board, so weare not a hard-core racing boat,” said

ing on boat length and horsepower. Top speeds of over60 miles per hour have been reached. Many fans fol-low the lobster boat race circuit from mid-June to lateAugust, as it makes its way from Midcoast Maine toDowneast.Race schedule: Moosabec Reach, July 3;

Searsport, July 10; Stonington, July 11; Friendship,July 24; Harpswell, July 25; Winter Harbor, Aug. 14;Pemaquid, Aug. 15; Portland, Aug. 22; AwardsCeremony, Oct. 16. FMI: www.lobsterboatracing.com.

OverboardBy Michael J. Tougias, Scribner, 224 pp., $24.

Reviewed by Sandy MarstersFor Points East

If you plan on reading Michael Tougias’ latest true-life maritime thriller, and you certainly should, youmight want to put on your foulies and PFD before yousettle into your easy chair, because you are going to bespending a lot of time in some very rough and terri-fying water.In “Overboard,” the action is fast,

furious and frightening. By page 15,the five-person crew of the 45-footHardin ketch Almeisan, headed fromConnecticut to Bermuda, has beenwarned of a big low, a bomb, forming offthe Carolinas; by page 28, on board an-other southbound sailboat, At Ease, thetwo-man crew about 30 miles off CapeHatteras is realizing that the 10-footseas they have been fighting for two daysare only a preview “for the monstrous sys-tem was nowhere near its peak.” Twelvepages later the At Ease crew has turned onits EPIRB; by page 54, the Almeisan hasbeen slammed and flooded by a rogue wave.To say more would be to give the story

away. I’ll just say that, in addition to thecrews of the two boats, you will meet somevery brave Coast Guardsmen and a skilled and deter-mined tanker captain and his generous crew. By thetime you are done you will want to steer clear of CapeHatteras, think twice before going to sea in a yachtwith big windows, and install about 12 mega-volumepumps in the bilge.Or you may just want to stay in your easy chair.

By page 37, At Ease first mate Jerry McCarthy, adelivery captain who had logged more than a quarter-million miles at sea, certainly must wish he had satthis one out. On numerous transatlantic crossings, hehad seen plenty of storms, and he “. . . can’t help buttry to compare them to this nightmare. But they re-ally don’t measure up,” Tougias writes. “He’s neverhad a fifty-foot wave engulf his boat, and he’s neverexperienced a complete knockdown and been held un-

derwater. And now, sealed inside the AtEase, with no way to motor or steer her,he wonders if this will be his coffin,thinking that it’s just a matter of timebefore the boat capsizes again.”Tougias, of Massachusetts, special-

izes in sea disasters. His books – in-cluding “Fatal Forecast, Ten HoursUntil Dawn” and “The Finest Hours”– are painstakingly researched andskillfully developed narratives.Though his earlier books could ar-guably be called old news, theevents recounted in “Overboard”occurred in the spring of 2005. It isso fresh and exciting that if youpick it up at 9 p.m., you will notsleep until you are done, and itwill not be an easy sleep.

I thank Tougias for not resorting tothe sea-story cliché of storm as vicious monster de-termined to destroy poor sailors. People have chosento go to sea; something has happened, and they mustrely on themselves and their boats to survive whathappens out there. The courage and determination with which the

characters in “Overboard” respond to their situationare inspirational and, in one case, truly heroic.

Other books of noteThere are a few other recent books that will be of

interest to Points East readers.If, after reading “Overboard,” you still insist on go-

ing to sea, boating writer Charlie Doane has gone toconsiderable lengths to help you with cruising boatselection in “The Modern Cruising Sailboat.”Doane speaks from extensive experience as a boatowner and offshore sailor. Perhaps his most interest-ing chapter is the first, “The Evolution of CruisingSailboats,” which gives readers a comprehensive his-tory of how we got from the earliest craft to whateveryacht it is that we own or wish we owned.

Doane then takes us through a detailed survey ofconstruction, sails and rigging, deck layouts, accom-modations, and systems before presenting a gallery of40 boats “you might like to acquire, or as concepts toinform your thinking about what sort of boat mightbe best for you.”The list ranges from the predictable (Valiant 40) to

the eclectic/weird (Wharram Pahi 42); from the clas-sic plastic (Allied Princess 36) to the ultra-modern(Sundeer 60). The recommended boats appear to havebeen selected more for their differences than for theircommonalities. It will not be your last or only list, butit’s a good start.Ever wished while entering a tricky new harbor

that you could get a bird’s-eye view of the situation?In his second “Visual Cruising Guide,” author/pi-lot/sailor/photographer James Bildner offers valuableaerial guides to the harbors of the southern NewEngland coast. Clear aerial photos of popular harborsfrom New London, Conn., to Portsmouth, N.H., arematched to chartlets of the area and short descrip-tions of the harbor and approaches in “A VisualCruising Guide to the Southern New England Coast.”A few years ago Bildner, who has been cruising the

New England coast for nearly 30 years on his 52-footHinckley sloop, Windward, offered a similar guide,his first, in “A Visual Cruising Guide to the MaineCoast.” He plans to continue working his way south.

With Davey moving us through the water silently,Adam decided to maintain the “stealth” image andvery bravely one night painted the boat. While all ofus slept, he went to the shed, turned on the lightsand painted the boat. I woke up that morning hear-ing Kathy yelling, “You painted the boat gray? Notwhite, not green, not black, not blue, not red, butGRAY?” “Yup,” he said.And there she sat, in Nate’s shed, gleaming, glori-

ous and gray. I don’t know, call me crazy, but I likedher gray. Nate, said, “So, what will you call her, GrayLady?” If you think there was a lot of talk aboutwhat color to paint her, you should have been aroundfor all the talk about what to name her.I guess next to her color, the name is most impor-

tant. Boats can be named for mothers, daughters,girlfriends, aunts (never uncles). Some have beeneven named after dogs. I think Boon would be agreat name for a lobsterboat, especially a gray one.But Adam had other ideas. With Nate’s design andUncle Dave’s engine, it was becoming a family pro-ject, so he said he decided to name her after the onething in his family he loved the most. Wow, he’s go-ing to name the boat after me, I thought.As it got closer to launch day, we were all still in

the dark about the boat’s name. The launching wasset for Memorial Day weekend. That way we couldall celebrate the new boat as well as honor all thosebrave men and women who put it all on the line tokeep us safe at home. I thought of my friend JackOrth and all the Marines he served with in WWII.“Semper Fi, Jack.”The night before we were scheduled to “get the

new boat wet,” Adam headed to the shed with a canof black paint. Only I was allowed to follow. He want-ed the name to be a surprise, and I guess he figureda dog wouldn’t talk. So he climbed the ladder andstated to trace letters on the bow. Even for me, it washard to figure out what he was tracing. The onlything I was sure of was that he was not tracing theletters that spell “Boon.” When he finished I was still in the dark. He just

looked at me and smiled. “Tomorrow, Boon.Tomorrow all will be revealed.” I forgot all about itas we went for our walk on Seapoint Beach. It was aclear night, and I could see the light on my Island,Boon Island.Early the next day the boat-haulers arrived. Wow,

what a neat truck – hydraulic everything. “Not likethe old days,” commented Uncle Dave. The bow wascovered where Adam had painted the name. The on-ly writing you could see was on the transom where

big bold letters said, “Kittery Point, Me.”We all headed for Pepperell Cove to launch her.

There was a pretty big crowd there, locals andtourists alike. I guess everyone had heard about thenew lobsterboat with the fancy engine. In fact, theboat-haulers kidded Adam all the way over: “Yousure this thing is going to run?” Adam just took a deep breath and calmly said,

“Yup.”“Hope you got your oars,” yelled someone in the

crowd, and then it became time for the moment oftruth.Adam looked at Kathy and said, “OK girl, do your

stuff.” What the heck did that mean? Well, Kathy gotup on the trailer and Adam handed her a bottle ofchampagne. She drew her arm back as Adam re-moved the covering on the bow, and then Kathycracked a perfectly good bottle of champagne on thestem of the boat and pronounced, “I christen thee,the KLT. God bless her and all who sail on her.” Andwith that, the KLT slid into the Piscataqua River.And she did not sink!“OK, now start her up”, came a shout from the

crowd. Adam calmly picked up the bow line; helpedme, Kathy, Nate and Uncle Dave on board; and castus off. Then more and more people cried stuff like,“Start the engine,” “Throw them a line,” “They’re

drifting away.” Adam just smiled and gave me awink. And, without a sound the KLT headed out ofPepperell Cove at a silent seven knots. Jaws all upand down the docks hit the ground, as humans say,at the same time. We all looked at each other andsaid in unison, “Finestkind!”So now lobstering will never be the same. Davey

moved us through the water without making asound. The pumps worked, the hydraulics worked,the power take-off worked, and all did it without anynoise. Incredible. Well, the commute will be shorter,but my naps will be a lot quieter. Maybe Adam willbe able to hear me snoring now.You are probably wondering about what KLT

stands for. It stands for the person Adam loves morethan anything else – Kathleen Tracksler – so, that’sOK with me. And because Adam’s father’s parentscame from Scotland, we simply call her the Kiltie.Long may she sail! So, if you’re in Pepperell Cove on a foggy day, and

you don’t see anything or hear anything, it’s just meand my best friend Adam heading out to work on ourlobsterboat, the Kiltie.

Boon may be seen all summer and fall in Mainewaters, standing at the bow of the KLT looking for hispots and scaring seagulls.

North: Bluefins thick south of Stellwagen

South: Blues, stripers swarm R.I. south shoreBy Elisa Jackman

For Points EastSpring conditions, for the first time in years, have

lead to great fishing conditions along the south shore.Bluefish cover lots of territory and are frequentlyfound chasing bait fish, watch for top water actionfrom the Center Wall of the Harbor of Refuge toGreen Hill along the South Shore. Fish will mix with

stripers on the North Rip and Southwest Ledge ofBlock Island. The lure of choice will depend on thedepth of the fish. Top-water lures such as a Rebel orYozuri plug work great; while fishing for deep fish anumbrella is perfect.Striped bass fishing in areas around the Point

Judith Light House, Deep Hole Matunuck, SouthwestLedge and North Rip, Block Island, are all great loca-

By Craig BergeronFor Points East

Stripers are thick in the Saco River, with many an-glers catching legal fish from the shore or the boat.Try using surgical tubes tippedwith a sandworm and trolled slow-ly from the boat, or fish a sand-worm on a slider rig using a one- ortwo-ounce sinker if you’re shore-bound. Artificials are also catching

stripers here in the river or in thebay. Sluggos and rubber shad arethe hot plastics right now. Yozuri’sCrystal Minnow and Gag’s MamboMinnow are also excellent whencasting close to shore or near rockpiles. The past few days the basshave moved onto the beaches feed-ing on herring and mackerel. Tryusing cut bait such as clam, herringor mackerel fished on a bottom riga couple of hours on either side ofthe tide. We are still getting reports of big-

ger bass feeding below the damnear the Saco Yacht Club. Thesefish are taking live-lined herringfished just below the dam. You cancatch the herring using a small Sabiki rig with a two-or three-ounce sinker attached to the bottom swivelon the rig.The mackerel are here! If you have a boat, try fish-

ing in Saco Bay by Wood Island or toward the mouthof the Scarborough river. We are catching large, medi-um, and small macs with little Sabiki rigs, and our se-

cret chum is all you need to catch a cooler full of thesegreat baitfish. Shore anglers: Don’t worry; it’s still abit early to catch them from the Camp Ellis jetty. Givethem a few more days.

Groundfishing is very goodnow on Jeffreys and Tantasledges. For cod, anglers are us-ing the standard 16- to 20-ouncecod jigs rigged with either a tubeor fly teaser, and they are havingexcellent luck. The haddockfishing has also been very goodon Jeffreys Ledge, just makesure to bring some bait(clams/squid/shrimp). Haddocklove bait, and are quick to jumpon the hook or teaser tippedwith a bit of smell.The bluefin tuna report looks

promising with large schoolssouth of us, working their waynorth. Good friend and fisher-man John Carlson said PeakedHill and the Golf Ball, south ofStellwagen, has had a ton ofbluefin action. Anglers are live-lining mackerel or slow-trollingSluggo or Hurley rubber baitswith good results. Also some an-

glers are catching a few of these tuna drifting livemackerel.Craig Bergeron has been a manager at Saco Bay

Tackle in Saco, Maine for 17 years. He’s an avid salt-water fisherman who loves to teach people the art ofserious offshore fishing techniques, from custom linesplicing to rigging squid rigs for bluefin tuna.

tions to search for trophy bass.Live eels are great for that spe-cific bottom gully, whiletrolling wire works better tocover a greater territory.Parachute rigs, tube and worm,and umbrella rigs are all greatlures for trolling. Scup and black seabass

fishing was off to a great startin early June. The Center Wallof the Harbor of Refuge,Nebraska Shoals, and GreenHill rocky-bottom areas are allgreat spots. Squid is just aboutthe best bait for both species.Ken Bazar has landed severalseabass over three pounds. Outside the Center Wall of

the Harbor of Refuge, Five Cottages, Carpenter’s BarMatunuck, and Block Island’s west side are all somegreat summer flounder locations. As water temper-atures increase, fish will start to move to deeper wa-ters. Mark McDonald and Roger Lema weighed in9.7- and 6.3-pound fluke respectively the last week-end in May. This is a great sign for summer fluke fish-ing.Shark fishing should be in full swing in Jennie’s

Horns and Ryan’s Horns.Blue sharks are the firstusual catches while makosand threshers follow. Sharksseem to move east as temper-atures warm. The Mud Hole isa great spot to try towards theend of July. Tuna fishing will hopefully

show positive signs this year.Trolling hex heads, zuckers,and jet heads is the best forcatching the season openerssouth of Block Island near theFairway Buoy and the AcidBarge. Spreader bars andchains also work well to setup bait patterns. As fish con-centrate, anglers can con-

vert to chunking butterfish later in the month andpossibly as late as August.Here’s to great weather conditions and awesome

fish catches!Elisa Jackman, a Point Judith Pond native, has

Island 40 is innovative concept in vacation livingRobinhood Marine Center in

Robinhood, Maine – builders of such se-mi-custom boats as the the Robinhood 33Downeast-style powerboat, and theRobinhood 36 and 40 sailboats – has justlaunched the Island 40 Tessie Ann, aman-made floating island in the guise ofa boat, that features a bright airy interi-or with a full galley, a U-shaped dinettethat converts to a double berth, a largehead with separate full-size shower, anda queen-bed master stateroom. Solar panel and major battery bank

will provide 12V and 110V power.Propane fuels the stove, refrigeration,and heating system. Central heating sys-tem will keep vacationers warm and dry at night andearly morning. The spacious deck allows plenty ofroom for outdoor relaxation. Robinhood suggests that Island 40 jockeys bring

their favorite DVDs and watch them while swingingon a mooring and enjoying all the comforts of home

without the interruptions. Robinhood will charter(rent?) the Island 40, moored in Robinhood Cove, bythe week. FMI: www.island40.com.

Robinhood Marine Center believes that the Island 40might be the perfect base camp for a boating expedition.

Briefly

Pearson Composites, of Warren, R.I.,recently launched an Alerion Express33 with a Mastervolt Lithium-Ion elec-tric Saildrive system that maintains theblissful silence that sailors appreciateeven when motoring when the breezedrops or when docking in close quar-ters. The application of this advancedpropulsion system was spurred by acustomer who did not want to spoil thequietness of the waters he sails nearhis home in Vancouver, Canada. Matedwith Mastervolt’s 7.5 kW Saildrive sys-tem, their MLI 24/160 Li-Ion batteryon a single charge reportedly gives theAlerion Express a 15- to 20-mile range,depening weather conditions.Additional MLI 24/160 packs, whichare relatively small and lightweight,can be installed.

Leigh savors the view of East Penobscot Bay from a tiny meadow on Calderwood Island.

Of seeing and knowing

There’s a world of difference between seeing andknowing, and fetching along this dramaticcoast of ours, we are regularly reminded about

the cost of getting too comfortable in our well-wornruts. So it was with Calderwood Island, which foryears had been little more than a waypoint to otherplaces until a quiet afternoon outing showed us theerror of our ways. With sails winged out to feeble scurries of a dying

southwester, seas as smooth as a silk, we had nothingon the agenda but the moment the Leight whisperedthrough Little Thorofare east of North Haven Island.The knot of bold isles to port and starboard were oursto savor as the ebbing tide left inviting alcoves andsandy strands begging for barefoot exploration, whileseals lazed about on half-tide rocks, taking no noticeof our passing.Leigh pointed out a small sign on one island and

brought the binoculars to bear. “It’s the CalderwoodIsland Preserve,” she revealed. “Look, there’s a littlepath up to a tiny meadow at the height of land. It’sbeautiful, let’s stop,” and soon we were sounding theteacup of an anchorage close east of a crook in thenorth shore and letting the CQR go.Landing the dinghy on an arc of shingle beach, we

scrambled up a steep banking and came upon a smallinformation kiosk put up by the Maine CoastHeritage Trust, the island’s owner. The curve of an oldgoat path drew us up a grassy slope toward the north-

west flank of the island, serenaded by a chorus of an-imalkind, past a lone wild apple tree and breathtak-ing seascapes. At length, with low tide coming on, we descended

toward shore, traversing avenues of granite, grassyswards, and cool pleats of spurred spruce. Discoveringa string of little pocket beaches on the south shore,each offered a perfect spot for a quiet picnic, after-noon nap, and for the hardy, a swim in water warmedby a string of sun-warmed ledges just offshore.Farther along we came upon another campsite, thenmade our way up a path through crowding junipers tothe crest of a grassy sward that offered stunningviews of East Penobscot Bay to Isle au Haut,Merchant Row, Deer Isle, and schooners and cruisersfollowing ancient ways. The price of not knowing suchthings seemed much too dear. The Calderwood Island Preserve is one of more

than 10 island treasures managed by the MaineCoast Heritage Trust, an organization that is wellworth supporting. The usual rules apply about quietuse, taking out what you take in, small fires only be-low the high tide line, and animals on leashes.Camping reservations and information can be ob-tained at 207-729-7366 or www.mcht.org.

Roger F. Duncan 93, East Boothbay, MaineRoger Fenn Duncan died May 15. He was the au-

thor of numerous books, including “A Cruising Guideto the New England Coast,” “Coastal Maine,”“Eastward,” and “Ashore and Afloat.” Roger, with hiswife Mary, sailed their Friendship sloop Eastward ex-tensively along the coast from New York to St. John’sNew Brunswick, and they sailed parties for manyyears in the Boothbay Harbor Region. He was a mem-ber of the Cruising Club of America and theFriendship Sloop Society, where he raced Eastwardwith great success. Roger and Mary were recognizedthroughout the coastal communities of New England. Roger was known for his seamanship, knowledge,

and history of the coast. One could not spend a dayafloat with them without having some friend sail bywith a cheerful “Hi ya Roger” floating across the wa-ter from another cockpit. Roger Duncan was a stead-fast man, sensitive and careful with words; alwayswilling and eager to lend a hand to others. The peoplehe touched, taught, entertained, inspired are richerfor his presence.

dent of the R.I. Philharmonic Orchestra. Each sum-mer he encouraged friends to bring their instrumentsand join him and his saxophone in the marching bandof Bristol’s Hog Island 4th of July parade. Donationscan be made in his memory to the R.I. VeteransHome, 480 Metacom Avenue, Bristol, RI 02809, wherehe received outstanding care, love and respect for thepast year and a half.

It's amazing how many people stop by just to say “hi” and look for the new issue of

Points East. We love the local information and articles, and of course Gerry, from Points East

who always receives a warm welcome from the 4-legged members of our Marina!

Merri-Mar Yacht Basin Inc. is a family owned and operatedfull service marina, located on the Merrimack River in his-toric Newburyport. Started in 1956 by Wally & Ruthann, weare in our 54th year of operation (3rd generation). We offercompetitive rates and personalized service. Our experiencedstaff is knowledgeable from stem to stern - whether you arelooking to repower, repair, refit or refinish we can provide youwith qualified, professional, friendly service. Visit our website,stop in and see us, or give us a call.

What's in that little house down at the waterfront? That littlestructure houses our waste-water filtration system! In aneffort to preserve our environment, we partnered with EBI, anenvironmental consulting firm, to develop and install the firstreliable closed loop waste water filtration system in theNewburyport area. "What does that mean?" Well, as we washyour boat the dirty water is collected in our concrete collec-tion apron. The waste water is then pumped from the trenchinto a reactor tank, filtered and pumped into a holding tankwhere the now crystal clear water is stored for future pressurewashing. The system has performed flawlessly with little or nomaintenance and we couldn't be happier with the results.

We are approaching our 4th season using the closed loopwaste water filtration system, and we are very pleased notonly with the results but the support & feedback we are con-tinually receiving from our customers! Similarly, we arerequiring our yard customers to use a "dustless vacuum sand-ing system" when working on their boats in our yard, which wefeel is important for the environment and fellow boaters. Wehave dustless vacuum sanders available to our customers forrent, by the day or 1/2 day as needed. With more than 50 yearsin the marine industry, we are proud to do our part in keepingthe Merrimack River clean for our Merri-Mar family & the surrounding communities!

Marlee Outhouse is a 9-year-old island girlwho loves to sail. She lives on Brier Island,Nova Scotia, at the mouth of the Bay of

Fundy. The island is surrounded by waters that areseldom calm. In the passage separating Brier fromnearby Long Island, Grand Passage, the flood tiderushes through at five to six knots. There are whirlsand swirls, back eddies and big waves when the windis against the tide.In the midst of these challenging harbor waters,

blond Marlee and her father, Nathan, sail in their 13-by four-and-a-half-foot dinghy they call HarbourSounds. We see them going toward the wharf on their

bicycles, Nathan holding the oars, Marlee alreadywearing her colorful life jacket.Nathan says he acquired the little sailboat last year

after watching it sit neglected in a field for about 20years. A friend asked the owner if he wanted to sellthe boat. The owner said Nathan could take it away,and so he moved the boat from the field to his yard. “Ireplaced a structural member, and did a little fiber-glassing; that’s all it needed,” Nathan said. TheDacron sail, mast, boom and sprit had been stored ina nearby shed. “I also found the rudder, a beautifulpiece of mahogany,” he added.He had a small setback when some local lobster

poachers “borrowed” his boat one night and left itcrunching on the jagged remains of the old ferry land-ing. “That pretty well ruined all the work I’d done onthe bottom, so I had to do it all again,” he said. But hepersevered, and refiberglassed, and got HarbourSounds seaworthy once again.Nathan said he has always wanted to sail but did-

n’t know much about it. “So I went to the library; Ilearned to sail in the library,” he laughed. He said heisn’t particularly fond of the sprit rig because he findsit isn’t easy to get the sail down in a hurry. But heread about sprit rigging and has a set of small ropesthat he uses to keep everything in place.Nathan is a lobster fisherman and a musician.

“That’s why I called the boat Harbour Sounds andput music notes beside the name,” he explained.When people ask him why he doesn’t get a little mo-tor for the boat, he patiently tells them he doesn’twant to hear the noise nor smell the fumes from agasoline engine. He said he and Marlee enjoy sailingespecially because it is a quiet way to travel and en-joy the sights and sounds of the harbor. Marlee has been going out in small boats with her

dad since she was five. Nathan previously rigged asail on an old 12-foot rowboat he called Patches.Patches had been used for many years as a tender for

a lobsterboat named Brier Patch, but Nathan said hechose the name particularly because he’d put so manypatches on the old boat to keep it afloat. He said hispresent sailboat doesn’t leak a drop.Marlee now has the sailing routine down pat. She

unties the boat, climbs over ropes and oars to get tothe stern, asks her dad if she can drop in the rudderand centerboard, then calmly waits for steering direc-tions from Capt. Nathan. Her father taught her torow the boat this summer in addition to learning tosteer. As with so many sailors, Nathan is already think-

ing “bigger boat.” He has his eye on a real sailboat ina nearby harbor and wonders if it might be for sale bythis summer. In the meantime, he and Marlee aremaking the best of every fine day for another sailaround the harbor in their quiet little sailboat,Harbour Sounds.Caroline Norwood has been secretary of the

Westport Harbour Authority since it was formed, anda member of the Harbour Authority Advisory Councilfor four years. She was a commercial fisherman forseven years, working on an inshore longline boat, andhas worked on a whale-watch boat every summer as acrew/naturalist. She has been a photo-journalist formore than 30 years.
