Once upon a boat show...

“You never know what’s going to happen whenyou go to a boat show.” This boat show, notsurprisingly, was the 2013 Maine Boat-

builders Show at Portland Yacht Services in Portland.The source of this sentimentis Sara MacCorkle, who, withher husband Leon, are thenew owners and operators ofvenerable Padebco CustomYachts, at the head of the har-bor in Round Pond, Maine,builders of solid, seagoinghulls to deep-vee designs. Ifyou’re visiting by boat, that’ssome eight miles north-north-east into Muscongus Sound,after you round R “2” Gong,off Pemaquid Point. New Hampshire residents

Leon – former firefighter,skilled carpenter and prop-erty manager – and Sara – ex-Fortune 100 profes-sional – had been thinking of a change-of-pace forthemselves and their two daughters, Erin, 3½, andLeah, 6. “Sara and I decided we wanted a change oflifestyle,” says Leon. “I just wasn’t able to spendenough time with the kids. I wanted a full-time job,but I also wanted more time with my family.”“We’d been looking for several years for the right fit

for our family,” added Sara. “We’d been asking our-selves, What do we want to do? What’s our passion?”The couple has always loved boats (indeed, at lastcount, Leon says, they own “about 14 boats,” dinghies,rowboats, canoes, a 23-foot powerboat and an OceanCruising 42 designed and built by Hank Hinckley) andthe water, so they began looking for opportunitieslaced with salt. This led them to last year’s MaineBoatbuilders Show, which Phineas Sprague, PortlandYacht Services owner and show organizer, likes to call“a meeting of the clan.” Last year’s “meeting” paid offbig-time for the MacCorkles and Padebco’s ownerBruce Cunningham, who’s been designing and build-ing boats for more than four decades.Leon and Sara thought it appropriate to walk the

well-worn floors of Portland Yacht Services with Leahand Erin, seeking ideas for their new life, which beganto take shape at the Padebco exhibit. “This was a fam-ily plan, and we wanted people to know we were apackage,” says Sara. “We talked with Bruce, and hetold us to stay in touch. He told us he was committedto producing high-quality boats, that “he was looking

for someone to take over and do him proud, but hehadn’t found that person yet.”After more discussions, and several MacCorkle-fam-

ily visits to Padebco, Bruce knew he’d found just thepeople to “do him proud.” And,says Sara, “Bruce and Leon arelike two peas in a pod whenworking things out . . . similarapproaches, different genera-tions. Bruce is not going toleave the business; he’s goingto stay to shepherd us along.”Which begs the question,

What could a firefighter and acorporate professional possiblybring to this particular table? Well, aside from Leon’s long-

time passion for boats and theocean, he began working at aboat shop when he was a littleboy. “This was my first-ever

job,” he says. “In the summer, two or three days a week,I’d ride my bike to John Cadario’s JC Boat Plant, thenin Candia, N.H., and stand in the doorway and watchthe boats being built. One day, Jack asked me if Iwanted a job, I said sure, and he put me to worksweeping floors, cleaning benches, and putting toolsaway. “I stayed with Jack through high school and into col-

lege. I learned lofting, how to build plugs, and, at 18,got to see the boatbuilding process from start to finish.It was a real apprenticeship.” Then Leon went into res-idential construction and finish work, both pursuitsimposing disciplines of great value in the boatbuildingbusiness.Sara? Aside from her love of boats and the ocean, she

says simply, “I have the business background; Leoncomes with the building background. Our skills andexperience complement one another.”The MacCorkles have moved to Bristol and report

that “the community is so amazing, so supportive.” “Weare not blind to the idea that it might not be an easybusiness, that we’re not always going to have an easytime,” Sara says. “If it were an easy business, then ev-eryone would be building boats. We’re looking at thisas, Here’s this fabulous line of boats, and how fortu-nate we are to have been given the opportunity to con-tinue the legacy.”You’re oh-so right, Sara: You never know what’s go-

ing to happen at a boat show, especially when you’relooking for a lifestyle that’s laced with salt.

May this sea-dog rest in peaceFacebook friends of the Salty Dawg Rally have all

heard the sad news that co-founders Bill and LindaKnowles’ long-time companion, family member, and mas-cot of the rally, Brie Knowles – a Jack Russell Terrierloved by just about everyone who ever met her – passedaway a week before Christmas down in the British Vir-gin Islands. Brie had been a part of that threesome for many years,

and had been ill for some time. She was a friendly, happy,lovable sea-dog, as comfortable on the Knowles’ boatSapphire as she was hopping about Bill’s inflatable as hemotored across a choppy harbor. She liked to snugglewith visitors aboard Sapphire, and she was sure-footedin dinghy or on deck, something that never ceases toamaze me about some dogs, since dogs, by nature, seemnot to have been designed by their Creator for the sea.I liked Brie very much, but I’m a small-dog guy any-

way, so I’m not totally objective, but the sad announce-ment by Linda has drawn dozens and dozens of

comments, expressions of condolence, and well-writtenbut brief testimonials and personal memories about, ar-guably, one of the world’s (and at the very least, theCaribbean’s) most popular and best-loved dogs ever tosail the seas. These comments are wonderful to read, andgiven the typical level of ordinary comments on socialmedia, well, these are carefully composed and heartfelt. Of course, the Salty Dawg Rally will go on, but with a

big part of it missing, a small dog who found a place inthe hearts of the rally members and many others downthrough the years. Perhaps it is best to let Linda’s wordsspeak for themselves:“For those of you who don’t already know, a week ago

today, Brie lost a courageous struggle with what we nowknow was a brain tumor. It has silenced our world. Thereis such a void. It rendered me paralyzed to write to any-one. We are devastated. We will miss her so.“She was a joy. She was so sweet, she had to say hi to

everyone. If they didn’t like dogs, she made sure theyliked her. She was the smartest dog or JRT [Jack Russellterrier] we have ever met. She was also the cutest. Peoplewere drawn to her. She had so many, many picturestaken of her. She was devilish. Always getting into some-thing. She not only made us laugh, but everyone who mether. “She didn’t know she was a dog. She thought she was

a kid. When she saw children, she would start shaking,she wanted to go play with them so bad. She was the per-fect size for us. We called her our “to-go dog.” Her fur wasso soft. She was like a teddy bear. Everyone loved her.They would meet us and say, ‘Oh, hi Brie. I can’t remem-ber your names, but we remember Brie.’ She was a legend. She became the Mascot of the Her-

reshoff Marine Museum when Bill worked there. She be-came the ambassador to the BVI. She greeted everyoneand everyone looked forward to seeing her year afteryear. Then she became the original Salty Dawg. She wasin a movie – the Purina Dog Chow Dog of the month –and in magazine articles, etc. Please help us celebrateher life by posting fond memories of her.”

Capt. Mike MartelBristol, R.I.

Milltail Creek’s movable feastWhile I was perusing the Midwinter edition of Points

East, I noticed a letter written by Bob De Marco abouthis attempt to transit the creek. He alluded to your pagein the Oct/Nov 2013 edition, which I then read with greatinterest.

LETTERS, continued on Page 8

I first heard about Milltail Creek in Anthony Bailey’s1965 book “The Inside Passage.” The next time I traveledby, I tried my luck as well. The attachment is an excerptfrom my Logbook VIII, Buzzards Bay to Bahamas, 1984:

Nov. 2, Tues. Mill Tail (also Milltail) Creek awaitedme on the other side of the bridge, so I said my good-byesand left the channel at Marker #16 in the Alligator R. andran course 125° C. Tangled mangroves kept their secretuntil I was about 500 feet off and I saw greener brush andwhite plastic cartons that served as aids to navigation onthe starboard hand. Back in the day of “East Lake Dew,” the jugs of moon-

shine were tied to tree trunks and stashed in the creek. Ifyou spy such a cord, give it a tug; you may strike gold.Pushed through a sill of mud and debris (3½-foot draft),but once inside the grove, the slough enclosed me in a dif-ferent world. Found cypresses knees, marsh grasses, pineand loblolly trees splashed with speckled sun and dunshadows, black water, ivory foam.Crept quietly up the overgrown creek past a hunting

lodge; watched by alert, friendly hounds. Had a sawhandy in case a treetop blocked Mökki’s mast. Only foundglistening logs and showers of twigs and pine needles ondeck. Followed the milk bottles like Japanese lanternsabout four miles to an overgrown dock on the port side.Pilings tilted from the water, eroded and rotten. Near theedge of the bank, improbably rusty, sat a ‘62 Chevy sur-rounded by trees as thick as my leg. Anchored off in 5½feet. Vivid blue irises tucked into cypress knees, yellow blad-

derwort supported by a slender stem stood above the wa-ter. Acres of blueberry bushes and water lilies – looked likea carpet of new snow. Had a mug-up, then walked inland along a 1½-mile

hand-dug canal, about 1 foot deep and 3 feet wide. Cedarshingles floated from Buffalo City to the dock for trans-port to Norfolk, Va., and beyond. A dirt road parallels thecanal with a newly built green wooden bridge and turn-ing basin with a well-kept work skiff tied in her slip.Mosquitoes are thick and bite with skill; some gnaw thetop of my socks. While cooking supper, the green johnboat chugs by filled

with hunters, rifles laid across their knees. Climbed intothe cockpit and waved. One asked, “You folks okay?” “Yes sir, thanks. It’s very nice in here.”“Oh, it is,” and they were gone around a bend. Saw one

contrail tonight between the treetops. So ends.Nov. 3, Wed. Comes chilly and fog lingered in some

odd pockets as Mökki drifted out. Alligator R. socked in.Anchored off for the morning. I wonder what the futureholds for this obscure spot? Will it be sissified with board-walks and planted jugs of diet hooch, or see a blue-platespecial of croc at an East Lake eatery? I wonder how many of your readers have explored

Milltail Creek? Perhaps there is an underground mem-bership of cruisers who reached the Buffalo City anchor-

age, much like the secretive Hog Island Channel Chow-der and Cruising Club coterie from Buzzards Bay, Mass.

Chuck LoanFairhaven, Mass.

Anyone up for some slip-sharing?My wife and I have been living, cruising and racing

on Chesapeake Bay for almost 25 years. We love ourbay and its many creeks, rivers and harbors. The East-ern Shore can sometimes seem like another country,with its small towns and agrarian history. The West-ern Shore, where we live, has small maritime townsas well, but also has Baltimore, Washington, D.C., andthe Norfolk/Hampton area near the mouth of the bay.There’s a tremendous variety of cruise destinationswithin a few nautical miles.It’s not that we’re bored orfeel like we’ve even scratched the surface of local ad-ventures, but last summer we discovered New Eng-land. Not by boat (except for the Block Island ferry),but by car and 737. While we love our warmer waterand softer bottom, we really caught the fever for want-ing to explore the Northeast by boat. Having seenGloucester, Salem, Rockport, Norwalk and Greenport,in addition to Block Island, we can’t wait to sail our34-foot cruising catamaran to your waters. We’re notsure how far north we can travel, so Long IslandSound seems ideal.Our problem is the usual one of time and money con-

straints. How far north can we expect to go before weneed to U-turn back to Maryland – unless we couldleave our boat at someone’s dock for a few weeks untilwe could return by car or 737 to continue the adven-ture, in exchange for the same privilege at our dock onthe Chesapeake? Is there a couple or two living in theNortheast interested in slip sharing? Trying steamedblue crabs and grilled rockfish while we sample yourlobster and scallops?We live on Bodkin Creek, about a mile off Chesa-

peake Bay; 10 nautical miles from Baltimore and 15from Annapolis. We’re only 25 minutes (by car) fromBWI airport. Our slip is a little snug for our 14-footbeam, but we’ve kept her there for the past five yearswith no problems. Bodkin Creek is a great hurricanehole and jumping-off point for short or long cruises onthe Bay. Rock Hall, a small waterman’s village on theEastern Shore, is less than a two-hour sail. It can be aday trip or the beginning of a weeks- or months-longcruise.We hope to find kindred spirits in this next phase of

our sailing adventures. We’ve never left the bay in ourown boat, and can’t wait to venture north. Does anyoneup there want to venture south?

The mystery harbor pictured in the MidwinterPoints East is Tenants Harbor, Maine. If you travel inor out of Penobscot Bay via the Muscle Ridge Channel,there will come a time that you need this harbor. More than once, I have found myself approaching

Muscle Ridge in the late afternoon, only to find thewind and current against me. The last 15 miles toRockland can be painful when this happens. Better topull into Tenants Harbor, pick up a mooring, and ordera lobster or two from Cod End.The approach is very easy. Leave Southern Island

and its distinctive light house to port (the light isowned by the famous artist Jamie Wyeth). As you getclose to the light, you can’t help but notice the carpetof lobster-trap floats. While it looks impossible at first,there is always a lane to slide through. Just be care-ful.Once inside of the light, you will see Long Cove to

starboard. We have anchored here many times, andthe holding is very good. The only negative is the pro-liferation of lobsterboats traveling to the co-op at thetop of the cove. No need to set a wake-up alarm here.If you continue straight ahead you will enter the

main harbor. Pay attention to the channel markers.They mark a two-foot spot on the left side of the har-bor. On the right side of the harbor, Lyman Morse hasa service facility. A little farther in is the Cod End

dock, with fuel and water. Cod End also has rentalmoorings, a market, and a cookhouse. Also, on the right side of the inner harbor is the town

dock and dinghy float. Use this for access to the Ten-ants Harbor General Store at the top of the road. Wefind this a great stop no matter what the weather.

Fouled prop kept us in TenantsCould the Midwinter Mystery Harbor be Tenants?

We sailed there last summer, on our way home fromSouthwest Harbor to Jamestown, R.I. This could belooking east toward Long Cove. But we were onlythere once, so our degree of confidence is a little light!Tenants was our last port of call from a great sail

Downeast before hopping back across the Gulf ofMaine to P’town, and from there back to Jamestown.Fortunately, we caught a floating warp in our saildrivejust outside Tenants while preparing to set sail. Aftersome radio chatter, which included the Coast Guardand our friends from the Hylas Winter River, and a

couple of cold dives to try and free the sail drive, weultimately sailed back to Tenants. Another day at Ten-ants is why I consider the incident “fortunate.”The harbormaster hooked us up with a lobsterman

from A-Salt-Weapon. Michael and his mate, 10-year-old Alex, were great. It took him about 15 minuteswith scuba gear to clear the prop. We had wrappedher pretty good. By the time all was done, we met lob-sterwoman Paula from Endurance. She was also verynice and entertaining. And we met painter JamieWyeth. And because of the delay, we could have one more

meal at the Cod End restaurant and be endlessly en-tertained by 6-year-old Willow. Willow will happilypick lobsters from the tank and tell you which one ismale or female – lobster in one hand, brushing herblond curls with the other. Priceless. If not for thefouled prop, we would not have met any of these peoplewhose company we enjoyed. Great people with greatstories.Due to the one-day delay in departure, we caught a

nice northerly the next day for a fast ride back acrossthe Gulf of Maine. A mishap proved fortunate due tothe people we met and were able to spend an extra daywith. Ayup, we will always remember Tenants.

PerspectivesI loved her ... but she leaked

Many years ago, I very quickly and easilybought a 28-foot wooden sloop. I fell for hergraceful counter stern, her

bowsprit, and her tall rig. I was so much inlove that I didn’t bother to poke aroundmuch into her past. As I sailed her from her old home in Con-

necticut to her new one in Massachusetts, Italked to her and patted her and sang to her.I also pumped her. Constantly. Incessantly.When I hauled her out of the water, I stillpumped. Rainwater came through the cock-pit and cabin. When my (ex) wife first saw her, she cried.

To this day I’m not sure exactly why. I doknow that it wasn’t the last time either of uscried over that boat. After two years of workon her, she had a new everything except backbone.She’d been replanked, recaulked, refastened. We were

broke when we finally put her back in the water. Shestill leaked.

We left her in, bought an expensive high-capacity automatic bilge pump, and decidedto get used to things. I settled in with the en-gine. It hadn’t run in a long time, and I soonlearned it was quite happy with the statusquo. It was in a state of permanent hiberna-tion. Its vital signs were there: It sparked, itgot gas, it cranked. But it wouldn’t run. Noone could make it run. So we let it be and de-cided to get used to things. After all, she wasa sailboat. The expensive high-capacity automatic

bilge pump couldn’t handle the job. The leak-ing got worse. At high tide one afternoon, Isailed her across the harbor and tied her to a

seawall. The idea of shooting her did cross my mind,but, instead that night at low tide I filled her bilge and

DavidRoper


tried to see where the wa-ter was coming out. Ispent all night re-caulk-ing seams where shedripped until she drippedno more. She was tight.She held a bilge full ofwater for four hours. When the tide came in

fully I sailed her back toher mooring, pumped herdry, and rowed off towork. I prayed for a drybilge all day. That nightwe’d go out and celebrate.No, better yet, we’d havedinner aboard, wrappedin silence, free from thehum of the inadequate,expensive, high-capacityautomatic bilge pump.That night would bebeautiful. We’d sleepaboard – we’d sleep in thebilge if we wanted. Dry.When I returned that

afternoon after work, the water was above the floor-boards. A quiet resignation enveloped me, and I knew

it was over. As a pair we were incompatible; we werejust not made for each other.

The boat was for sale. But how do you sell a boatthat has an inboard engine that won’t run, and leakslike a half-closed faucet? We had about $14,000 in aboat that had originally cost us six. We asked nine. Noone came. It was almost Labor Day. If we didn’t sellthe boat quickly we’d be in trouble. We’d have to haulher out, pay for storage, and fix her up again in thespring. We had neither time nor money for that. Salvation came on a quiet gray morning, after I’d

been up all night trying to start the engine and findthe leak. I was wedged back under the cockpit, overthe bilge and partly under the engine. I was in the verybowels of the boat. I was brushing elbows with hersoul. The engine was still quite dead, and the ocean was

getting closer to my rear end by the minute. And then,as if in the climax of a séance, we saw each other andcommunicated. I explained that we were through, thatthere was a man who liked her and wanted her, a manwho had fallen in love with her at first glance as I hadtwo years before. He wanted to see her again, to get toknow her charms. That man would arrive at noon, andwanted to hear her motor run and inspect her bilge. Ifall was well, he would buy her for $9,000. It was 7 a.m. With a “what the hell; one last time”

attitude, I turned the ignition key and pushed thestarter button. That engine started! You have only myword. No one else was there. The fish and the early

morning gulls may have seen the whoosh of smoke andthe carbon, but no one else. I turned off the engine,pumped the bilge dry, and went ashore for breakfast. At 11:30, I went back to pump before the man came

at noon. The bilge was nearly dry. It was uncanny. Iknew I could either treat the whole thing as a meta-physical experience, or could explain it realistically.Maybe the starting of the engine vibrated some un-known wooden stopwater into place or somehow tight-ened some hidden crack in the shaft log. But thatdidn’t explain why the engine suddenly started. At noon, the man came out. He looked at the dry

bilge and smiled. I smiled. He asked if I would startthe engine. The whole morning had been so unexpect-edly positive that I pushed the starter button with as-surance. The engine came to life. The man smiledagain. I shut it off and sold him the boat.To my knowledge, that engine never ran again. For

the next 10 days every mechanic in the area tried tostart it. But when the man headed the boat for hernew home it was without the help of an engine. And, I heard later, she was leaking again. Con-

stantly. Incessantly.

After identifying the Mystery Harbor in the Mid-winter Points East (see “Mystery Harbor, page10), and winning the prized PE cap, I realized

that there was another story that needs to be shared.The dock in the background of the picture has specialmeaning to my wife Marty and me. It was six summersago that we were standing on that dock with our 12-year-old nephew, Reid. Reid’s mom and dad lived in Tennessee and asked

us to broaden his horizons with a week on the coast ofMaine. His dad was in the military and, during thistime, stationed in Iraq. During Reid’s week on ourboat, we did our best to show him another side of life– a life very different from what he knew in Tennessee. One teachable moment came while standing on this

dock in Tenants Harbor.While watching a lobsterman unload his catch, Reid

was asked if he would like to come on board and seehis boat. Most kids are now brought up not to talk to,or go anywhere, with a stranger, and Reid politely de-clined. Seeing that he needed a little encouragement, Marty

and I suggested that he accept the lobsterman’s invi-

tation, and we would be there to watch him. Reidthought that was great, and he was given a tour frombow to stern that included the engine compartment.All the while, Marty and I are thinking, “This is reallycool.” As Reid was getting ready to join us on the dock, he

was asked if he would like to go out for a quick spin inthe harbor. Once again he looked to us for approval.We knew that they were just going to bring the lob-sterboat back to its mooring, and we gave our permis-sion. They did a few quick turns and showed Reid the

power and agility of the boat. They picked up the moor-ing. Then we noticed that something appeared to bestuffed into a plastic shopping bag. Lobster? Reid wasrowed back in, grinning from ear to ear, and he pre-sented us with a large bag of live crabs. We love freshcrab.We were so impressed that this man would take

time at the end of his day to be nice to a kid from Ten-nessee. We could not thank him enough. While walkingwith him up the road to his truck, he asked my wifehow she got out of working on a Wednesday. Marty’s

stock answer is, “I’m not a doctor or a rocket scientist,and nobody really needs me this week.”To this the man laughed, then replied, that at one

time he was a rocket scientist, that he had worked onthe Apollo fuel cells. This was a classic example of howyou never know who you are talking to when on thecoast of Maine.We said our good-byes and continued walking up the

hill. Marty and I reinforced to Reid just how specialthis experience was. Reid replied that he thought itwas sad that this “rocket scientist” would end up as alobsterman. This stopped us in our tracks. We neededto have serious conversation with Reid, and we neededto have it now.We did our best to explain that life is a journey, and

along the way we do many jobs. The man he had justmet was well-educated, had worked very hard, andwas successful in life. But his dream was to come backto Maine, buy a lobsterboat, and live the life he wasnow living. This was his reward for all of his hardwork. This can be a difficult concept for a 12-year-oldto grasp, but we hoped it had sunk in. On our way outof the harbor, Reid asked if we could go by the lobster-man’s boat so he could take a picture of it. After a cou-ple of circles we proceeded on our way to Rockland.That evening, we enjoyed steamed crabs in the cock-

pit of our boat and watched the sunset over the harbor.Shortly after this, Reid was returned, via United Air-

lines, to his mom in Tennessee. Checking back in thefollowing week we recounted the lobsterman story toReid’s mom. She shared with us that Reid couldn’tstop talking about his experience. Not only that, buthe had the photograph of the lobsterboat enlarged andframed and hung on a wall in his bedroom. We still talk about this trip. Reid is now a college

freshman, majoring in engineering, and the lobster-boat picture still hangs in his room.

It’s almost too chilly this morning to write withthis ballpoint pen, but there’s no ice in mywhiskers, so a fair day looms ahead. Again, I’m

anchored behind little Gardner Island in Point JudithPond. Yesterday’s forecast declared mid-50s with agentle, westerly breeze, and an all-afternoon ebb tide– both propitious for shoving MoonWind on her merryway eastward from West Cove in Noank to thatwilderness known to us locals as Rhode Island.Well, I bent on my larger genoa and shook out my

winter reef. After all, spring was officially arrivedwith bushels of pert crocuses and bags of mildzephyrs. In Fishers Island Sound, all was indeedpleasant. I got under way at half-past noon to catchthe first of the ebb. My buxom genoa swelled in thesix-knot breeze; my loosened mainsail filled, and Iwafted eastward at a sedate three knots.But Father Poseidon was basking on the reef by

Wicopesset Island, a delighted gleam in his eye.“Testing the waters so early, Lad?” said he. “Wouldn’tyou like a wee bit more excitement? I wouldn’t wantyou to doze off at the helm.”Fortunately, it wasn’t much more than a wee bit. As

it was, it took me an hour to sand my finger imprintsout of the tiller. The breeze increased to 12 knots, andthe tidal surge to five-footers. The wind blew nearlydead-astern, and MoonWind thought it proper to flyher sails wing-and-wing. Already it was too late to tryto reef. My preventer kept my mainsail close to theshrouds, while my booming jib shook the boat as italternately collapsed, then filled. MoonWind climbedthe backs at five knots, then yawed down the frontsat eight. My cell phone, binoculars and water bottlewere flung about the cockpit. Even steering as small as I could, I verged on losing

control. A few times the wind got behind my main,and MoonWind skidded down the waves on her ear.My course on this tack brought me closer to shore;heading up four points, my jib behaved, but I had thesea on my beam. Plus, this took me farther from PointJudith Harbor of Refuge. After three hours of ardentplunging, a little refuge seemed a worthy objective. As I approached the seawall round the harbor, I

worried I might meet a Block Island ferry at thebreach way and run her under. The water around thesecond breach way looked far less turbulent. I headedout to sea for a bit until I was nearly to it, came up abit, removed my preventer, hardened both sails, thenput the helm down hard. MoonWind came into irons,

stalled, and the wind and sea forced her back in atrice. “Well, then Lass, let’s see how you like to jibe,” said

I, and spun her round on her heel. Round she went,and I set a beam reach toward the windward edge ofthe breachway. I had let go the genny when I jibedher, having both hands full of other matters, and thejib had turned wrong-side out. I fell off the wind andattempted to haul the jib back where it belonged. Theknotted loop where my jib sheets met snagged on thehead stay, of course. With every second, the wind andtide, though somewhat abated, swept me past mymark. I headed back up and left the pounding jib to fend

for itself. In 10 minutes time, I tucked behind the sea-wall. Here was only a two-foot chop. I could actuallystand without holding on to something. I motor-sailedacross the harbor, wrestled with my genoa, anddropped my mainsail into her lazy jacks. I went belowand replenished my water bottle. My mouth wasparched and my arms ached, but here we were, safeand dry. My standing rigging and sails were still in-tact.I motored up the placid channel between the jetties

and up the pond – past the docked ferries and thefishing fleet to starboard; past the empty pleasure-boat piers to port. I traipsed my way up to uninhab-ited Gardner Island, overlooked by vacant summerhouses; rounded it; coasted to a halt; then let downmy anchor. The tide had now turned and carried meup the pond. I let out 90 feet of rode, then snubbed iton the cleat. MoonWind set her anchor, then cast adubious glance at a weedy boulder astern. I’velearned during the past 10 years to respect herglances. I rigged my anchor sentinel with a 20-poundlead weight. The sun was low as I stowed my jib, secured my

main, made things all-a-taut-o, and thought aboutlunch.

Shewas built in 1934 by the Her-reshoff Manufacturing Companyof Bristol for Charles GlennMoody of Boston.Ankle Deep, which is in nearly

original condition, has been inthe Moody family since she wasnew, and she was donated inearly 2014 by Mr. Moody’s chil-dren in memory of their father.The donation includes the origi-nal purchase contract and in-voice, cotton sails, canvas, andscrapbooks full of sailing corre-spondence.In 1934, “The Rudder” maga-

zine sponsored a design competi-tion for a new one-design frost-bite dinghy to meet the NorthAmerican Dinghy Associationrules for Class B, and the designof Nicholas S. Potter of the designfirm of Potter & Strawbridge wasselected. The Herreshoff Manufacturing

Co. built the first fleet of 20-oddboats for use at Larchmont, N.Y.,and Marblehead, Mass.

The Cruising Club of America has selected JeanneSocrates, of West London, England, to receive its Blue Wa-ter Medal for her completion of a solo, nonstop circumnav-igation on her third attempt. The Blue Water Medal wasfirst awarded in 1923 and is given “for a most meritoriousexample of seamanship, the recipient to be selected fromamong the amateurs of all nations.” At the age of 48, when her children were grown, Socrates

started sailing. She and her husband George began takingclasses in dinghies and windsurfers, and moved into cruis-ing boats in 1994. In 1997, the two bought the 36-foot Najad361 Nereida, and, in 1999, they entered the Atlantic Rallyfor Cruisers from the Canary Islands to St. Lucia. In 2001,George was diagnosed with cancer, and he passed away in2003.Socrates continued long-distance cruising. In 2007, her

first attempt at a solo circumnavigation was foiled just shortof closing the circle. Socrates would try again, but this timeit would be a nonstop circumnavigation, in 2009, with a newNajad 380, also named Nereida. Again, she was forced tostop, for repairs and an engine replacement. In late 2010,Socrates began her second nonstop attempt from Victoria,but 100 miles west of Cape Horn, Nereida suffered a severe

and damaging knockdown. In August 2012, she completeda solo circumnavigation via the Five Great Capes of theSouthern Ocean.In October that same year, Socrates set out again, deter-

mined to complete the journey nonstop. She started fromVictoria, and after 259 days alone and unassisted at sea,she closed the circle, becoming the first woman – and oldestwoman – to sail solo nonstop around the world. Socrates israising money for Marie Curie Cancer Cure, a British pro-gram that offers free home nursing for terminally ill cancerpatients.

Skiff flips in Westport River;one hunter is rescued, two dieThe Coast Guard rescued one hunter, and two died, after

their skiff overturned on Jan. 7 in the Westport River in West-port, Mass. A Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod MH-60 Jay-hawk helicopter and a Coast Guard Station Menemsha,Mass., 47-foot Motor Life Boat were deployed, and the heli-copter located the overturned skiff and the deceased hunters.

An hour later, the third hunter was hoisted into the heli-copter and transported to Rhode Island Hospital in Provi-dence, suffering from hypothermia. At the time of the rescue,the air temperature was eight degrees, water temperature 35degrees, with 30-knot winds. Responding were crews from Coast Guard Air Station Cape

Cod, Coast Guard Station Menemsha, Westport Harbormas-ter, Westport Fire Department, and Massachusetts Marine En-vironmental Patrol.“It’s tragic that this case resulted in two lives lost, and it is

nothing short of miraculous that one hunter was saved,“ saidLt. Bryan Swintek, the Coast Guard Sector Southeastern NewEngland public affairs officer. “It took teamwork between theCoast Guard rescue crews and our interagency partners to gethim to safety.” FMI: www.coastguardnews.com.

the Grand Banks fishing schooners of Gloucesterand those of their rival Canadian fishing port ofLunenburg, Nova Scotia. In the first race, theAmerican fishing schooner Esperanto beat theCanadian boat Delaware. But the following yearsmostly belonged to the 143-foot Canadianschooner Bluenose, which was specifically de-signed for the races. These days, the bigger boats (over 80 feet) con-

tend for the Esperanto Cup (obviously named af-ter the first winner of the International FishingVessel Championship). The rest of the schooners

are divided into two classes,over/under 45 feet in length.I knew right away whichboat I wanted to be on forthe 2013 races: the Ameri-can Eagle, built in Glouces-ter, but now sailing out ofRockland, Maine. The 92-foot American Ea-

gle was launched in 1930 asthe Andrew & Rosalie, thelast fishing schooner built inGloucester. She was re-named American Eagle in1941. She made her lastfishing trip in 1983, and wasthen sold to Capt. John Fossand towed to Rockland forrebuilding as a vacationwindjammer for 26 passen-gers and a crew of six, in-cluding skipper. After acomplete rebuild, she was relaunched in 1986, and hassince sailed mostly in Maine waters, but also partici-pated in numerous Opsail events in New York, Bostonand Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. In 1991, she was desig-nated a National Historic Landmark. The trip down to her birthplace, Gloucester, for the

traditional Labor Day schooner festival and races, hasbecome a long-standing tradition and the highlight ofeach sailing summer. I had met boat and skipper JohnFoss on my many coastal sea-canoe trips, and knewthat he and his vessel were going for their 10th win. Iwanted to be part of that historic occasion. What a feat

that would be!So, on Aug. 28, at 6 p.m., we 26

passengers, each with variedsailing experience, boarded theschooner in Rockland. We metSkipper Foss and the deck crewof three competent young men,as well as cook Andy and his as-sistant. Everything looked justright – and just as I thought itwould be, based on my transat-lantic voyage aboard a schooneras a watch captain some yearsearlier. The wood-paneled galleyeven had an old-fashioned wood-stove on which to cook the meals,bake bread, muffins and pies aswell as radiate welcome heat oncold, foggy mornings, of which wehad a few. It took us two days to get down

to Gloucester. The first night weanchored behind Peaks Island inCasco Bay, near Portland; the sec-ond, in the outer Gloucester an-chorage off Niles Beach. Bothtimes, we dropped anchor aroundsunset, with a golden light fading

Only a few gannetsand porpoises kept us company,and we were surrounded by awrap-around horizon. On onehand, it felt as if we were thecenter of an immense universe;on the other, it seemed we werenothing more than a minutespeck in an endless world. Then, suddenly the dual light-

houses on Thatcher Island, ofCape Ann, appeared in the dis-tance – the abandoned northtower and the still-active, 166-foot south tower. This is famil-iar territory for me because ofmy 12 annual solo outriggerraces around Cape Ann. Fromhere, I always knew it was 11more miles to the finish line in

Gloucester Harbor – a hard pull, which I never mind,since I seem to do better on this leg than on the first11 miles.After breakfast and weighing anchor the next morn-

ing, Skipper Foss took his American Eagle outside thebreakwater to have us all practice for the next day’srace. The weather was again not the best. There was

some rain, some lightning, and variable winds barelyreaching 10 knots. But we met up with our competi-tion: the slender, high-sided and very fast Virginia. Shehad beaten our boat by a few seconds in the past, whilein other years it was the other way around. And thenthere were the two schooners – Adventure and Roseway– formerly owned and skippered by Jim Sharp out of

gun went off: 10 minutes to the start. The wind wasstill light, about 10 knots, but our skipper managed toposition American Eagle next to the committee boaton the starboard end of the starting line, so we wouldsail off on starboard tack and have right of way overthe entire fleet of 19 schooners. The timing was perfect for a big boat in light winds.

Well done, Skipper! I also sensed a rising breeze com-ing over starboard side of the boat, so I definitely feltthis was the right tack to take. After 30 minutes,though, the wind shifted, putting us on the port tack,favoring Adventure,Virginia and Roseway. LibertyClipper was completely out of the race since she sim-ply did not have the speed the rest of the boats had. The medium-sized schooner Adirondack rounded

the mark first, and we were close behind. Virginiaoverstood the mark by a long shot and, as I saw it, lostthe race right there, allowing Adventure to pass her.From the turning mark, it was almost a dead-down-wind run to the finish line. So most schooners sailedwing-and-wing, leaving jib and jumbo/staysail to luffin the wind shadow behind those huge sails. All we had to do was stay between the finish line

and our competition to win – ahead of Adventure andour arch-rival Virginia – and we did. Roseway looked

pretty with her russet sails, but she only came infourth. The town of Gloucester was elated to see itsschooner Adventure come in a close second – in her firstrace after a lengthy and costly reconstruction – only3:42 minutes behind us, and beating Virginia by ascant 34 seconds. Adventurewas well sailed, and I won-dered whether its former skipper Jim Sharp wasaboard as an adviser. And he was, as I found out at theawards ceremony. Following an old but harsh sailing tradition, our first

mate hoisted a broom to the top of the mast, suggestingthat our boat had swept the entire field. Well, at leastwe swept the large schooner class (over 80 feet), in theEsperanto Cup race. However, the small schooner (19to 45 feet) Tillicum 1, won on corrected time, closelyfollowed by the two medium-sized schooners (45 to 80feet) Tyrone and Brilliant. We came in fourth overall.Loud, hearty hip-hip-hoorays were shouted across

the waters as Eagle worked her way back into the in-ner harbor. It was a very joyful time, none more so thanfor Skipper John Foss, who had herewith won his 10thrace with the American Eagle. What a feat! Everybodyon board was so proud of him and his swift windship. Iknow I was.Supper, including libations, was served ashore under

a big tent on the Maritime Gloucester pier. Skippersand crews were exchanging their stories about howtheir respective races went, and all present were jovial

My cabin-mate and I hit ourbunks almost immediately, since wehad signed up for the 2 to 4 a.m.bow watch.

our watch, and Eagle eventuallyducked into Port Clyde, still in thickfog, and dropped anchor. Then therains came, and we had a subduedlunch under extra awnings on deckor in the galley below. However, agrand supper of roast beef andhand-cranked ice cream lifted ev-erybody’s spirits. We were back atour dock in Rockland the nextmorning – 10:30 a.m., exactly asplanned.Then suddenly everything hap-

pened very fast. We took a grouppicture, packed our things, ex-changed addresses, shook hands allaround, and, in no time, the boat,and even the dock, were empty.

On my way home to Orono,

In 1956, at age 13, I used the accumulated proceedsfrom my paper route to purchase my first boat, aWallace molded-plywood skiff with a Mercury 10-

horsepower outboard. Unlike the “yacht club kids” inMarblehead, my friends and I were “wharf rats” whohung around the town landing and made up our ownfun. No pool parties, junior sailing, or Saturday night

We had wooden skiffs, and wespent our time zipping around Marblehead and thesurrounding waters and islands, driving standing up,and steering with extensions off the handles of ouroutboards. No self-respecting wharf rat would ever al-low himself to be seen driving while sitting down.Marblehead is a sailing/yachting/fishing town, and

most of the kids I hung around with had something todo with the water, even if it was just hanging aroundthe town landing, bumming rides on the fishing boats

or the ferry. In college, I had the two best jobs in theworld: driving the launch for the Boston andCorinthian Yacht Clubs, and running my own stringof lobster traps. This kept me on the water all day, andby midsummer my skin would be like ebony and myhair bleached out white.After graduation from college, I got a job teaching in

high school, so my summers were free to keep thesejobs. The “real” fishermen used to tease me, calling mea fair-weather fisherman because I only fished in the

Muscobe I: In1966, I got my firstboat of any conse-quence, a nice, little28-foot Pembrokelapstrake cruiser,complete with fly-ing bridge. She wastrucked down fromLake Win-nipesaukee in NewHampshire, and Itook delivery atElmer Dion’s Yacht Yard in Kittery on a very foggy day.Russ Lamont, a retired yacht captain who was my bossand the dockmaster at the Boston Yacht Club, agreedto help me bring her home. Russ had cruised extensively, from Florida to the

Canadian border, while the farthest east I’d gottenfrom Marblehead by boat was Gloucester. This boat,the first Muscobe, had a cheap compass on the bridge,with a 30-degree deviation on most headings – a fact

we soon discoveredafter getting underway once out of thePiscataqua River.

Muscobe II: Ienjoyed two yearswith this boat, un-til a member of theBoston Yacht Clubtook an interest inher and made mean offer I couldn’trefuse. At aboutthe same time, alocal boatbuilder,Ralph Crowell,asked if I’d be inter-ested in a boat he’dbuilt for his son,

who had moved to Florida and was no longer inter-ested in her. Would I? Ralph Crowell was known forhis skill in building sleek, fast, sturdy lobster-typehulls. This one, Sailor Tom, built strictly for familycruising, was black-hulled with gorgeous mahoganysuperstructure, cockpit coamings, and transom – allbright. “Joel,” he said, “I know you will take care of thisboat as I would. So can you give me $1,500 for her?”Muscobe No. 2 was born.

Powered by anold OldsmobileRocket V-8 engineRalph hadscrounged out ofsome junkyard,this boat was thequickest single-engine boat of itstype in Marble-head. One of thelocal fishermen,who fancied him-self owner of thefastest lobsterboat in Marble-head, wentthrough three car-buretor rebuildstrying to beat this Muscobe. He never did.However, I had to be careful the first few days of the

season. As with any wooden boat, I couldn’t “put herin the corner” until the planks in the hull had swelledcompletely shut, otherwise I’d knock the caulkingright out of the seams. I actually lived aboard sum-mers, with my golden retriever, Heidi. We would getup at dawn on days I wasn’t driving the launch in themorning, and jump into my 14-foot lobstering skiff

(also built byRalph) and haulmy pots, usuallyfinishing byaround 1 p.m. Af-ter a shower anda nap at home,we were backaboard to relaxand watch the ac-tivity in the har-bor. As the sayinggoes, life wasgood.By 1973 I was

married andworking in a newcareer as a man-ager, recruiter

and trainer for an insurance company. My lobsteringand launch-driving days were a distant memory,though I still owned Muscobe II. Soon, however, it be-came obvious that with my extended obligations –both at home and at work – I needed to part with her.Owning a wooden boat, especially one with all thatbrightwork (and I am very fussy), is a lot of work, andI simply couldn’t stay on top of it. So, with great reluc-tance, I parted with her and had a hiatus from boating.

Muscobe No. 2 was built by Ralph Crowell strictly for family cruising, and wasblack-hulled, with gorgeous mahogany superstructure, cockpit comings, andtransom -- all bright.

Muscobe III: By the early ’80s, I simply had to getback into boating. We joined the Corinthian YachtClub, and I bought Muscobe III, a 23-foot John Almondsportfisherman. Built along the lines of a Bertram,with a Hunt-designed V-bottom and a big V-8 engine,she would do close to 50 knots. I only had her for a cou-ple of years, however, as this was not what I wantedin a boat. My dream was to replicate the beautiful boat Ralph

Crowell had sold me, this time in fiberglass. So, thoughI sold the John Almond and was boatless again, I

didn’t stop dreaming. I spent many hours sitting on abench out by the lighthouse looking for suitable boats.There were a few Downeast-type hulls around then,and it was easy to fantasize about owning one of myown someday.

Muscobe IV: By 1986, wooden construction was onthe wane, and fiberglass boats were being built almostexclusively. And one beautiful, dark-green Jarvis New-man 32 fishing out of Little Harbor really peaked myinterest. Could this be the boat I wanted? A Downeastlobstering hull like that could be built for family cruis-

Fisherman,” picked the local lobstermen’s brains, andtalked with several Maine boatbuilders. Jarvis New-man built an attractive, sturdy boat, but I noticed they

mediately impressed by three levels of shelves packedwith racing trophies hanging on all four walls. ColbyYoung, eldest of the three brothers and Corea harbor-master, gave me a demo ride in Ulrika, a 33-footerrigged for lobstering and named after their grand-mother. Man, she was fast! But it wasn’t just herspeed. She was extremely stable at high speeds, andher handling characteristics were outstanding. Withher oversized rudder, she could turn on a dime, anddocking was a cinch. I was sold. Oh, and did I mention she was pretty? So when I left

for home, there was a $1,000 deposit check sitting onVid Young’s desk in the Young Brothers & Company,Inc. offices.Construction began on Jan. 2, 1987, and the boat

was completed and launched in August. Accommoda-tions included a spacious double V-berth for the kids,a large berth which converted into a dinette for Momand Dad, a galley, head, hanging locker and storage

If you’re wondering about the name, the word actuallyhas no meaning whatsoever to anybody but an old Purduebuddy, Duke Blackford, and me. Where I was raised aroundboats, Duke grew up on a farm and was raised aroundhorses. Today, he’s a veterinarian living in Oklahoma, and itwas he who invented the word. Just about anything couldbe a “muscobe.” A nasty rodeo bull was a “rank muscobe;”a pretty girl was a “neat little muscobe.” I used to kid himabout using the word, but soon I began to use the word my-self – so much so that in my fraternity – where everybodyhad a nickname – “Muscobe” became mine. Once, in fun, Itold Duke: “You know, someday, I’m going to have a niceyacht in Marblehead Harbor, and you know what I’m goingto call her? Muscobe.

lazarettes below. The wheelhouse was spacious, withplenty of headroom and excellent visibility all around.A drop-curtain could be rolled up aft, allowing com-plete access to the cockpit, but keeping us cozy and dryin poor weather.She was launched at 0930, Aug. 27, 1987, and I took

delivery that day, driving her through pounding seaswith 35-knot southwest winds. I spent my first nightaboard in Northeast Harbor. Once I got her home toMarblehead, the kids took an immediate interest infinding ways to drive. None was tall enough to seethrough the windshield over the helm at that time.Interestingly, while we all enjoyed Muscobe as a fam-

ily, we never made any extended cruises together to ei-ther Maine or Nantucket and the Vineyard. Rather, allmy cruising was done with male friends. But the fam-ily had plenty of quality time on the waters aroundMarblehead, either in Muscobe or in our skiff.When I did begin cruising the Maine coast, it was

with my friend Steve Snyder. Initially unfamiliar withboats, as an Army veteran L-19 pilot and, later, TWAcheck airman, he was well-versed in aerial navigationand thus easily adapted to the boat. And I really ap-preciated having that calm, unruffled airline captainat my side when things got dicey in fog or bad weather.We enjoyed several years of wonderful Downeastcruising until, sadly, he was killed when TWA Flight800 exploded over Long Island on June 17, 1996.

After that, I was accompanied by my good friend andbusiness associate, Al Cristofori, from Chatham,Mass., who owned a small Grady White. Al quickly gotthe hang of handling the much larger Muscobe, and,on long legs, I was able to take naps while he was atthe helm. But the arrival of numerous grandchildrensuperseded his ability to take time off to accompanyme to Maine.Muscobe today is not the boat I originally took deliv-

ery of in 1987. Her original Chrysler Crusader 360 V-8 has been replaced with a Yanmar six-cylinder420-horse turbo-diesel engine. Never comfortable withthe look of the boat with her flying-bridge, I had thatremoved some years ago. Then, in 2008, I delivered heragain to Corea – to Mike Light, nephew of the YoungBrothers – who gutted her and completely refinishedher down below.The boat I brought home to Marblehead the follow-

ing spring was like a new vessel. The dark, dismal var-nished interior was now glistening white, withTempur-Pedic foam cushions on the berths and alarger head with electric toilet. Lighter than ever, shenow cruised at an easy 17.4 knots at 2500 rpm, burn-ing even less fuel than the Chrysler had at 12 knots. Ifigure, with the fuel savings, I’ll recoup the cost of thenew Yanmar by age 105. But, hey, it’s a boat, right?By now all my kids were adults, and each knew how

to handle Muscobe fairly well, having more or less

grown up on her. JP, myoldest, was a Mass Mar-itime graduate and 2ndMate on an LNG super-tanker, so he had plentyof nautical savvy. But itwas Randy who had themost experience on theboat and, indeed,seemed to love her al-most as much as I do. Heeven proposed to hiswife, Natalie, on Mus-cobe.Early in 2009, Randy

told me he had quit hislucrative job in softwaremarketing, and hadbeen accepted to lawschool. Recently en-gaged, he and Nataliehad set the date for thefollowing June, so thewindow of opportunitywas nearly closed. Lawschool, marriage, and ul-timately starting out ina new career as a lawyerwould severely limit(read: eliminate) anychance of cruisingDowneast with Dad forthe next several years.Then, in early summer,he called to ask if wecould take a few days inAugust to go Downeast.As for me, any excuse isa reason, so I jumped atthe chance. The resultwas a very pleasant tripin great weather, culmi-nating in Boothbay Har-bor.Our next cruise was in

2011. Leaving Marble-head on a gorgeous dayin August, weovernighted in CascoBay’s Diamond Cove,Boothbay Harbor, Cam-den and Northeast Har-bor. We had a rather exciting return from NortheastHarbor to Boothbay, where we encountered 35- to 40-knot winds and 10- to 12-foot swells. This was a baddecision on my part, but Muscobe brought us through.

Randy videoed theroughest portion, but Imade him promise neverto show it to Natalie, lestshe refuse to ever cometo Maine with us.On Nov. 29, 2011, Na-

talie presented us with abeautiful grandson, Ran-dall, Jr., who was imme-diately outfitted withCorinthian Yacht Clubgear and his own lifejacket. And as soon asMuscobe was launched in2012, he was introducedto boating. He took to itwonderfully. His first extended trip

was from Marblehead toBoston for the annualturnaround of Old Iron-sides, accompanied bythe Coast Guard trainingship Eagle. It was quiterough in Boston Harbordue to the wakes of thou-sands of boats jockeyingfor position, and it wasunbearably hot as well.Little Randy fussed aboutthe heat until we re-moved his life jacket(over Natalie’s protests),and he immediately set-tled down and enjoyedthe fun. Throughout theremainder of that sum-mer, we spent manyhappy hours aboard, an-chored at our favoritespots, often with daugh-ter Andrea and JPaboard, taking turns withthe rest of us holding thebaby and dipping his feetin the water. I hope some-day to have the privilegeof watching Randy Jr. atMuscobe’s helm inDowneast Maine.Years ago, when my

kids were younger, we had owned a Boston Whaler-type (a McKee Craft, a fair copy), which allowed us tocruise around the harbor and get into shallow beacheson nearby islands. In recent years, Randy had been

suggesting that he missed “our old whaler,” and ap-plied additional guilt by saying that it would be a greatexperience for my new grandson to explore the harboras his dad had when he was young. A friend had a 30-year-old Whaler he wasn’t using, so I bought it refur-bished it, and Randy christened it Muscobe Too.Although this essay is about three generations on

Muscobes, it could actually be four. Last summer, JP’sship, GDF Suez Neptune, came to Boston with a loadof LNG and was anchored a fewmiles off Marblehead, waitingher turn at the gas terminal inBoston. My Mom, age 94, was ina nearby assisted-living facility,and she signed on for one moreboat ride out to see JP’s home-away-from-home first-hand.In August 2013, I had another

addition to the family: an 8-

week-old British cream-colored golden retrieverpuppy. Our previous golden was named Tanner, so itonly seemed right to name our new puppy Tanner Too.We didn’t make it Downeast last summer, primarilybecause he was unable to make the first day’s six-hourleg without a pit stop, and I didn’t want to leave himat home. But next year I’m looking forward to havinghim along as Muscobe’s newest cruising companion,bound Downeast.

Editor’s note:Mike Tougias will give a dramatic vi-sual presentation about this horrific and heroic eventat the Herreshoff Museum in Bristol, R.I., on Thursday,May 15, at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m.

On Thursday, Oct. 24, 2012, Capt. Robin Walbridgemade the fateful decision to sail Bounty – areplica, built in the 1960s, of the 18th-century

Royal Navy ship HMS Bounty – from New London,Conn., to St. Petersburg, Fla. Capt. Walbridge was wellaware that a hurricane was forecast to travel north fromthe Caribbean toward the Eastern Seaboard. Yet the cap-tain was determined to sail.

As he explained to his crew of 15, a ship is always saferat sea than at port. He intended to sail “around the hur-ricane” and told the crew that anyone who did not wantto come on the voyage could leave the ship, that therewould be no hard feelings. As fate would have it, no onetook the captain up on his offer.Four days into the voyage, Superstorm Sandy made an

almost direct hit on the Bounty. The vessel’s failingpumps could not keep up with the incoming water. Theship began to lose power as it was battered by hurricanewinds in a storm that spanned over 800 miles. A few hours later, in the dark of night, the ship sud-

denly overturned 90 miles off the North Carolina coast,in what has been known for centuries as “The Graveyardof the Atlantic.” The crew was sent tumbling into an

ocean filled with crushing 30-foot waves. The U.S. Coast Guard then launched one of the most

complex and massive rescues in its history, flying twoJayhawk helicopter crews into the hurricane and lower-ing rescue swimmers into the ragingseas again and again, despite the ex-treme danger to their own lives. Of the16 sailors, 14 would be saved, but thecaptain and crewmember ClaudeneChristian perished in the storm.When the Bountywas first encounter-

ing heavy seas, I was, coincidentally, onTV talking about storms. One of thehosts of the “Fox & Friends” daily morn-ing show asked me if I thought theremight be any ships in harm’s way withSandy coming up the Eastern Seaboard.I paused, and then explained that the storm had been sowell forecast that all ships would be in port. Imagine my

surprise when, two days later, news reports of a dramaticrescue of the HMS Bounty splashed across my TV set. Those reports launched my quest to learn more, and,

later, I contacted Doug Campbell to team up and try towrite the definitive account of what hap-pened and why.What struck me during my research

was how much worse this incident couldhave been. The sailors’ donning of theirsurvival suits and gathering on deck lit-erally occurred just minutes before theship rolled to its side. Had they been be-lowdeck during the capsizing, I doubtanyone would have gotten out alive, es-pecially because there was just a singlepassageway to the top. Equally important was the Coast

Guard’s earlier decision to launch a C-130 Hercules LongRange Surveillance Aircraft into the heart of the storm,

when the Bounty first alerted the Coast Guard that shewas taking on water. If that aircraft had not been onscene when the Bounty heeled over, the loss of life wouldhave been higher, because at that time the plane was theonly communication link between the ship and the out-side world. Without the C-130 crew to relay the disaster back to

Elizabeth City, N.C., the Coast Guard would have stuckto its original plan, which was to launch a helicopter atfirst light. But when they learned that the ship had cap-sized at 4:45 a.m., a Jayhawk helicopter was immedi-ately launched. That helo likely saved the life of firstmate, John Svendsen, who was floating alone in the rag-ing sea, far from both the Bounty and the life rafts thatwere filled with other survivors. That first helicopter then went on to locate one of the

Bounty’s life rafts. Rescue Swimmer Randy Haba waslowered into the maelstrom, and he extracted four of the

seven survivors. It was a remarkable rescue not only be-cause it occurred in hurricane force winds and 30-footseas, but also because it was effected in the dark. Andthe second helicopter to arrive on scene had just as dan-gerous a task: Its crew had to extract a total of ninesailors from two different rafts under tight time con-straints due to fuel limitations. President Obama had it right when he lauded the

Coast Guard. Speaking in New Jersey just after thestorm struck, he said, “One of my favorite stories is downin North Carolina where the Coast Guard was going outto save a sinking ship. They sent the rescue swimmerout, and the rescue swimmer said, ‘Hi, I’m Dan, I under-stand you guys need a ride.’ That kind of spirit of re-silience and strength – but most importantly looking outfor one another – that’s why we always bounce back fromthese kinds of disasters.”We often think of the Coast Guard men and women as

“just doing their jobs” because most are humble anddownplay their roles. We assume that when one missionis complete, they move right on to the next. And they do,but, every now and then, a rescue, or rescue attempt,comes along that moves the rescuers deeply and has animpact that will last well beyond their careers. Mike Myers, a co-pilot on the C-130, wrote to me say-

ing, “It was so painful to experience the Bounty crew’semotional highs and lows. There was a bond and connec-tion between our crew and theirs. Then to have them goin the water, at night, exhausted, and hastily forced over-board, it became our worse-case scenario. We made re-peated radio calls; we flashed our lights when inover-flight; we dropped rafts, survival gear, homing de-vices…everything we could to keep their hopes of sur-vival alive. But we had lost our connection with ourfellow mariners – we would not hear any other radiocalls, see any flares, nor observe any people in the water.It was heart-breaking thinking that the worst had hap-pened.”Luck, the Coast Guard, and the gritty determination

of the survivors allowed 14 out of the 16 Bounty crew tohave more tomorrows.Tougias also is the author of several other books about

Accident summary: On Oct. 29, 2012, the Tall ShipBounty sank off Cape Hatteras, N.C., while attempting totransit through the forecasted path of Hurricane Sandy.Three of the 16 people on board were seriously injured,one crewmember died, and the captain was never found.The vessel’s estimated value was $4 million.Probable cause: The National Transportation Safety

Board determines that the probable cause of the sinkingof Tall Ship Bounty was the captain’s reckless decision tosail the vessel into the well-forecasted path of HurricaneSandy, which subjected the aging vessel and the inexperi-enced crew to conditions from which the vessel could notrecover. Contributing to the sinking was the lack of effec-tive safety oversight by the vessel organization.

Gannet was built in 1935 at the famous F. L. Tripp& Sons boatyard in Westport, Mass. We don’t know thedesigner, or the lady who commissioned her to be built,but she is a lovely traditional gaff-catboat with aroomy cockpit, a daysailer with no cuddy or cabin, anda barn-door rudder. Capt. Tom works in New York Harbor, working on

tugs that move ships in and out of that busy seaport24 hours a day, seven days a week, year-round. He’sthree weeks on, and three weeks off. The past few sum-mers, he’s also been busy in his off weeks skipperingyachts up the Maine coast, but this year, he was look-ing for some time off, and hoped to go sailing on Gan-net during the summer when he was off-duty. But first he had to fix up Gannet, sitting idle under

a tarp in Wareham, Mass. Gannet hadn’t been gettingthe attention that she needed in recent years, but nowTom was going to make up for that. “It used to be afamily tradition,” Tom explained, “For two weeks ayear, every spring, my Dad, my brother Bob, and I,would get together to work on the boat, to get herready for the season. It’s something we always did to-gether. Then we would sail her, and our sister Galewould often join us as well.”Gannet has a nice, little two-blade propeller and

bronze shaft leading through the keel and into the log-ical place for an inboard motor, but one would be hard

pressed to find one. “It had some kind of a one-cylinderengine in it at one time, but it shook so badly that Ithought it would shake the boat to pieces, so I took thedamned thing out,” Tom recalls. “Besides, I don’t needan engine anyway!” he gruffs. I’m thinking here thatCapt. Tom and Points East’s Capt. Cheney ought tomeet.Tom had removed a few pieces of wood by himself,

but he faced a daunting task. He could not fix her up

using a rusty screwdriver and an old handsaw. On topof that, he was about to go away again in a week, forhis three-week stint on the tugs. Brother Bob had afull-time job, but could join Tom on weekends. “I don’tknow if I can get her done thisyear,” he said, feeling a bitdown, “But I was hoping to gether sailing before the end ofthe summer.”“Tom,” I said, “I have a wood-

shop. Let me make these piecesfor you.” He brought them outof his trunk. They were pine,actually, not even longleaf pine,but white pine, and rotted. So Imade new replacements, usingSipo, a mahogany substitute Ilike working with. Two daysbefore he had to go back to thetugs, I showed him the pieces.He brightened. “That’s great.Why don’t I simply give youthe whole project?” And so itbegan.Gannet was propped up on

blocks and stands at Zecco Ma-rine in Wareham, her sternbacked into a thicket of briars.Oh great. The first thing I didwas to remove her ragged bluetarp and replace it with a newtarp that would keep the wa-ter off, and out of, her. All theold tarp was doing was straining the water. I knew that I would have to be applying paint and

epoxy as well as polysulfide caulking compound, andyou can’t get effective results if the wood is damp or

wet. The boat had to dry out, and frequent thunder-storms weren’t letting that happen.The next thing I did was remove everything “bad,”

including the afterdeck section and gunwales. Myboatbuilding Grandpa usedto say that the first step is toremove all the bad stuff, andsee what you’ve got left, so Ihave always proceeded thatway.It’s a lot easier to remove

parts of a small boat, haulthem home in the back of thepickup, and reproduce themin the woodshop, instead oftrying to craft them on-site.Of course, we use the oldparts as templates. If thepart is good, except for a spothere or there, I try to fill thatspot and re-use that piece ofwood if it is sound overall. Allpieces of wood that didn’thave to be glued, but rathersimply fastened back intoplace, were double-primed onall sides. I removed the original oak

stern cleats and pulled therusty bolts out of them, butfound that iron sickness andre-drilling sometime in thepast had made the interiors

weak and hollow. So I cleaned them out, taped over theholes in the bottom of each cleat, then mixed up abatch of epoxy and wood flour, thin enough to pour, andfilled them or “potted” them.

The original traveler was brass, and had soft spotsdue to electrolysis, so the new traveler was crafted ofNaval bronze rod.

After curing, I sandedand faired each one, anddrilled each one out againfor the new carriage bolts.I soaked the old cleats inlinseed oil after sanding,and reinstalled with teakbacking blocks beneaththe afterdeck. They arenow as strong as can beand should outlast me.Wareham is a good 45-

minute drive from myhouse, so I packed mytruck with every portabletool that I imagined Icould need, all stowed inlocked wooden boxes inthe truck bed. I broughtepoxy, gloves, sandpaper,paint, thinner, rags, mix-ing cups, brushes, powertools, drill bits, chisels,sanders and my grinder,clamps. I brought every-thing, because if I forgotto bring an essential tool,I would be stuck; Ware-ham was too far away todrive home to fetch it. I also brought extension

cords. Boatyards in thespring never have enoughpower outlets, so to stay friends with my neighborsworking on their boats, I always bring a heavy-dutypower strip. That way, when I’m plugged in and somefellow arrives late to work on his boat and there aren’t

any free outlets, he won’tbe tempted to unplug me:He can simply plug intothe strip. I’m only run-ning a sander or grinderat most, so there’s enoughjuice for both of us. Itsaves tempers from be-coming heated on an al-ready hot day.I also brought a lot of

water, sunscreen and afloppy hat. A boatyard inJuly is a tough place. It’sdusty, dry, dirty and hot,with no shelter from thebrutal sun, and usuallywindless. I workedthrough a couple of weeksof a heat wave. When I be-gan burning my hands onmy tools, I knew that itwas time to take a breakfor a while.And, while I had these

pieces removed, with ac-cess to places that onedoes not normally haveeasy access to, I used thatopportunity to use a vac-uum to clean out thebilge near the chine atthe transom, and paint

primer heavily in those normally inaccessible placesafter a careful inspection of the condition of the wood.Everything was sound.A nest of small brown ants had established resi-

The gaff jaws had no parrel beads, just a cord, and there werewear spots on the red spruce mast. So Capt. Mike made a setout of black locust.

dency in the boat and had colonies in several places,and they were literally eating the boat. On my nexttrip, I brought a jug of insecticide with a spray-triggerand cleared the stowaways out. “If you’re not helpingout on the boat in a positive manner, you don’t belonghere,” I told them as I happilysprayed away.The restoration of Gannet

was indeed a team effort. Tomenlisted the help of Dave Pe-terson, whose fine woodwork-ing shop in Mattapoisett, TheWooden Tangent (www.the-woodentangent.com), formedand steam-bent the new redoak coamings, no mean feat asthese coamings were a half-inch thick by seven incheshigh, with a complete 90-de-gree (ultimately) turn at theforward end. Dave’s shop did abeautiful job and finishedthem as well. When we in-stalled them, they fit perfectly.The old coamings were rottedand the only way to reproducethem was to use a steam boxand frame.

Gannet’s mainsheet traveler also had problems. Itwas formed of five-eighths-inch straight rod, with 90-degree bends at each end, the ends going downthrough the deck, threaded, and bolted with oak back-ing blocks. In removing the traveler, at one end, the

threads tore apart and ru-ined the traveler and thebrass nut. So I brought it toold friend, retired Navy“gunny” and machinist TuffySanford here in Bristol. Tuffy pointed out that the

original traveler was actu-ally brass, and had some softspots due to electrolysis andcorrosion; so he made a newtraveler of Naval bronze rod,with broader threaded discstops at the top of thethrough-deck sections. Imade new backing blocksand reinstalled the traveler.On the first weekend that

Tom was back from NewYork, his brother Bob joinedus at the boatyard, and weworked together to install thenew coamings. They had been

working on the hull, painting her, and working on theforedeck, which needed re-caulking and painting. I hadreinstalled the rebuilt afterdeck, and we also replacedwood on the transom. In every instance, I avoided using pine. For the tran-

som, which was actually rather thick – more than oneinch – I used cypress, a wood as workable as pine, butwith greater rot resistance. I acquired a few planks ofit for another project and am quite impressed with it.It is easily workable, looks like white pine, but has nopitch or aroma. It epoxies up nicely and takes a goodfinish.I used Sipo for some of the work originally, but the

problem came with the coamings. On either side of theboat, three-quarter-inch sections of gunwale, top andbase, were sandwiched together, and I did not want todrive screws in at the junction. I also noted that Sipocan be a bit brittle. So I had a few planks of heart pine– resinous and rot-resistant, the kind actually used forflooring – and made the sub-gunwale replacement sec-tions that had rotted or been ant-eaten out of that. Up forward, on either side where the curve of the

coaming was greatest, the boat originally had one-and-one-eighth-inch-thick corner brackets of white pineunder the deck, for the coamings to be screwed into. Ididn’t want to use white pine, but I didn’t want to usea hardwood that would be difficult to drive screws into,such as oak.

The cost of red cedar was prohibitive: I needed atleast 10 inches of plank width. I thought of using pine,painted with Cuprinol, if I could still find some. Thenit dawned on me: Use pressure-treated pine. They did-n’t have that back in 1935. It will never rot, it’s cheap,and I can get it in the dimensions that I need. I did getit, installed it, and it worked beautifully. On a caution-ary note, I don’t like working with pressure-treatedwood: It’s toxic, so cut it, shape it, try to avoid sandingif you can, wear gloves and a dust mask, and scrub up

well afterwards.Tom’s approach to his spars (and the mast is origi-

nal) is simple; sand them lightly and rub them withboiled linseed oil. But when I was working on the gaff,I noticed the jaws had no parrel beads, just a cord, andno leathers to prevent chafe. They had been sailing herthis way for some time, and there were wear spots onthe red spruce mast. “Won’t do,” I said. I found a piece of black locust in the woods near one

of my favorite hiking spots; I turned it on my lathe tomake a set of parrel beads, and soaked them for aweek in linseed oil before installing. I also made awooden cleat out of white oak to replace a rotted one,trying to stay original instead of replacing it with abronze one. Making a wooden cleat takes time andcare, but to me, it is to the wood-boat builder what thehand-carved scroll on a violin is to the luthier: achance to add that personal touch, that signaturestyle, to a boat you’re working on. Take the time tomake it nice, shaped and formed with some complex-ity, not just a straight plain thing.Today, Gannet rides like a duck, if you’ll excuse the

pun, on her mooring in Wareham, tight as can be andready to sail. She sports a new cream-colored sailmade of a sturdy synthetic material designed for tra-

ditional boats, but Capt. Tom still misses Gannet’s oldcanvas sail, custom-made and carefully sewn by theold E. W. Smith loft in Fairhaven. “That canvas saillasted 40 years,” Tom adds, “It was the best-made sailI have ever seen.”Gannet has a new lease on life, and is once again

spreading her big gaff wing to the prevailing sou’west-erlies of Buzzard’s Bay. At the time of this writing, itis the second week in August, and Capt. Tom is dueback from New York in a couple of days, and plans tomake a beeline for Wareham. Who could have guessed? Over the next three weeks, a lot of water passed un-

der Gannet’s centerboard. And of course, Yours Trulywas invited. It’s a fine thing to sail a boat, but an evenricher sensation if you’ve had a hand in making herwhole again. And it’s even richer doing it as part of ateam of friends and craftsmen.

Capt. Mike Martel, who grew up on NarragansettBay, began restoring and rebuilding old wooden boatsas a hobby more than 30 years ago. He lives in Bristol,R.I., where he writes about marine subjects and is busyromancing old wood in the restoration of his 1930Alden gaff-yawl Privateer. He is an ex-Coast Guardsailor with a 100-ton Near Coastal Master’s license.

right through March. Boston Sailing and Courageous Sailing race on

Boston’s Inner Harbor. Each club gets in about fourraces on a race day. Their fleets are sailed off dockswhich are, for the most part, ice-free. After racing,Boston Sailing Center serves up hot chili and racingvideo with commentary. Sailors change into dry clothes,have some chili, and review video with comments by therace committee and college coaches Ken Legler andBrad Churchill. Boston Sailing Center also has a boatfor new sailors to race with an instructor aboard. Sailtraining is a big part of all BSC programs.Courageous has a fleet of 24 Rhodes 19s they sail out

of their facility in the Charlestown Navy Yard. The fleetraces in the vicinity of the Coast Guard Base and withinviewing distance of the Pier Six Restaurant, where thesailors often gather after sailing. The sailing area af-fords both flat water and squirrelly winds. It’s a chal-lenge. More importantly, Courageous uses the revenuefrom frostbiting to support their summer youth pro-grams. The 24 boats are fully subscribed each season

and racers have the added satisfaction of making sail-ing part of hundreds of kids’ summers.The Winthrop Frosbiters sail in the protected waters

just west of Cottage Park Yacht Club. The group hasbeen sailing there since 1995. Their race committee isrun by Hatch Brown, a local sailing legend. He musthave one of the best race-committee boats around, asmall barge with a hut, which, he tells me, has a “verynice stove.” After racing, or when it’s too challenging forthe dinghies, Cottage Park Yacht Club’s bowling alleyand Pilot House Room are accommodating. Sailorsgather, warm up, tell stories, bowl a few strings, andcatch sports on TV. One of the features of the Winthropprogram is the opportunity to qualify for the IC Nation-als in Manhassett, N.Y., this spring.Each club has its own flair and purpose. For Boston-

area sailors, winter is no excuse for not sailing. Thosewho do frostbite start the summer season with a leg upon their non-sailing competitors. See you on the water.For more information: Winthrop Frostbite:

Securing a sponsor andbuilding a team is no easyfeat, and Team Alvimedica’sentry into the Volvo OceanRace is a project that hastaken Charlie and his teammanager, Mark Towill, 26, ofHawaii, seven years to accom-plish. Enright and Towill met while

filming the Morning Light Dis-ney documentary about ayoung team’s 2007 Transpa-cific Yacht Race (Transpac).Somewhere along all the off-shore miles, Charlie and Mark caught the Volvo Ocean Racebug. Shortly thereafter, the two formed All-American OceanRacing, a young program that took every opportunity to logoffshore miles with the ultimate goal of sailing in the VolvoOcean Race. After fielding countless potentials, Enright andTowill found an ideal sponsor match in Alvimedica, a Turkish

Tired of winter? Get a World ARC berthSince departing Saint Lucia on Jan. 11, World Atlantic Rally

for Cruisers (ARC) crews have enjoyed a spectacular introduc-

tion to round-the-world cruising. The first leg to the islands ofthe San Blas Archipelago off the coast of Panama provided fa-vorable strong trade wind conditions for the 1,100-mile sailwest, with the rally atmosphere already firmly established be-tween the 31 boats. The diverse fleet, with boats sailing under the flags of 13

nations (nine boats are U.S.-flagged), arrived in the San Blason the eastern side of the Panama Canal, eager to explorethe unspoiled archipelago. After spending time in the tranquil-ity of the San Blas Islands, yachts proceeded to Shelter BayMarina to prepare to transit the Panama Canal. Prior to thetransit, each yacht was visited by the canal admeasurer teamand then received an advisor on board to assist with the pas-sage through the canal. For the start of leg two into the Pacific on Feb. 7, favorable

conditions greeted the fleet, but conditions were not to lastas the fleet neared the Equator; light winds delivered doldrumconditions to for the majority of the yachts. After approxi-mately 850 miles and five days at sea, the first arrivalsreached the island of San Cristobal where, in a typical Galapa-gos custom, crews were welcomed by sea lions barking andattempting to board their yachts. From the Galapagos it’s onto Polynesia, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, and then back toSaint Lucia around April 2015.In total, 42 boats and over 300 people will take part in

World ARC 2014-15; some sailing the full 26,000 miles; oth-ers joining for a stage. For more information about the WorldARC, or if you’d like to join (it’s not too late), go to www.world-cruising.com.

St. Andrews-by-the-Sea

Busy Water Street offers a farmers market, grocery store, gift shops, plus book andantique shops, restaurants, art galleries and pubs.

St. Andrews-by-the-Sea is a treasure. The tidy knot ofa port on the northern reaches of New Brunswick’sPassamaquoddy Bay, is possessed of a warmth,

charm, beauty and foreign flavor that should rank highon a Downeast cruiser’s list of places not to be missed. While the bay straddling the U.S. and Canadian border

is often thought of as a challenging destination, we foundit could be navigated with ordinary prudence, patienceand respect – and there was a certain satisfaction to man-aging well in the dramatic waters. The tides rule. They run to 20 feet. Timing is everything.

Catching the flood at Cutler, Maine, the 19-mile leg toHead Harbor on Campobello Island took just over threehours. Head Harbor is a good port to clear into Canadaand launch the leg to St. Andrews. Letite Passage is anoption, but the navigable window is brief. Western Passageproved an easy run on the first of the flood. Giving DeerIsland Point generous berth, more than three knots of faircurrent sent the 26-foot Leight acing along at nine knotsfor a minute or two, though we soon came into quieter wa-ter. Whirlpools form here during the fullness of the flood.

Don’t be there then. And keep in mind that boats don’t ac-tually get sucked down into the darkness, never to be seenagain. A local told me that, as a kid, he and his friendsused to frolic about the whirlpools in aluminum skiffsequipped with five horsepower outboard motors. A first glimpse of St. Andrews reveals the prominent

profile of the old Algonquin Hotel rising above the town.A landmark from an era when guests arrived by train andsteamboat, it still adds a formal tone to the place. The vil-lage gathered along the waterfront has the look of a vi-brant 18th-century loyalist seaport with well-kept homes,church steeples, and a vibrant business community thatanswers to a wide range of visitor needs.Making the “SX3” green bell northeast of Navy Island,

it’s a straight shot into the anchorage, where we crossedpaths with the wharfinger, BB Chamberlain, who guidedus to a rental mooring ($25), handy to the 300-foot-longtown pier. There were other options, too. Later, after con-sultation with a local, we found a private mooring avail-able and several slots to anchor south and west of thewharf. The anchorage is protected from the usual summersouthwesters by Navy Island, though southerly and north-

easterly weather will find its way in. The mean high tide at St. Andrews

is about 21 feet. At low water, the an-chorage is a mere shadow of its formerself, with extensive mud and sandbarsemerging, and navigable depths de-clining to six to 10 feet. At full flood,strong currents may keep your boatstreaming with the flow instead of thewind. There’s a dinghy float on the east

face of the 300-foot pier. New showerand toilet facilities are available onthe deck of the wharf. The town takestending to its guests seriously, and thereception in St. Andrews is decidedlyfriendly. Busy Water Street greetscruisers with a farmers market, gro-cery store, gift shops, and the trades inhardware, books, restaurants, cloth-ing, antiques, art galleries, pottery andpubs. Of the latter, local craft brewsare worth serious study. The St. An-drews Yacht Club, a block from thedock, welcomes cruisers to drop by fora gam, or to attend one of their regu-larly scheduled festivities, for whicheven a social defective of my order wasearnestly invited. The village is a National Historic

District, and heading up King Streetafoot is a scenic and architecturaltreat, substantial homes dating tocolonial times and neo-classical era re-siding under lush canopies of oak andmaple. The stately Ross Museum isworth a visit, as is the colorful Kings-brae Garden at the top of the street,where acres of stunning plantings arewoven together by scenic pathways,well attended by songbirds. Making St. Andrews takes a bit of

care, but, as Thoreau wrote, “In my ex-perience travelers generally exagger-ate the difficulties of the way.” There’sno good reason not to know such inter-esting things. We need more chal-lenges, not less.

As Long as It’s Fun By Herb McCormick, Paradise Cay Publications 2014, 280

pp., $18.95.

Review by Sandy MarstersFor Points East

I have admired Herb McCormick’s work for a longtime. He ran the newsroom at “Cruising World” duringthe magazine’s boom years. He also had a wonderful,but too-short, gig as a boating columnist at the“New York Times.” His writing is tight, natural,and very funny. His reporting is careful, thoroughand revealing. He’s probably the best one outthere writing about boating.Nevertheless, I didn’t look forward to reading his

new biography of Lin and Larry Pardey, “As Longas It’s Fun.” The Pardeys are royalty among thecruising crowd, and they deserve to be. They havechronicled their travels – including two circumnav-igations, one in each direction – in numerous booksand magazine stories spread through the last fourdecades. They even built their own boats, and sailed en-gineless for all those miles. When it comes to voyaging,they appear to be the perfect specimens.But recently I’d become Pardey’d out. The last book I

read was Lin’s “Bull Canyon,” which I reviewed here. Inthat book, she had appeared to have lost perspective onwhat really mattered to their followers. Though it chron-icled the building of their latest boat, Taleisin, in Califor-nia, it wasn’t about boating; it was about the Pardeys,and, though I didn’t say it here, it seemed just a tadheavy on the narcissism.I should have known McCormick would bring things

into perspective after the Pardeys asked him to write thecouple’s biography. And that he would do it in a way thatkept my attention throughout. I really enjoyed this book,and anyone who has followed and envied and admired –even worshipped – the voyaging Pardeys will, too. Theirsis a remarkable story, but McCormick takes us an extrastep here: He shows us that, while they are remarkable,they are not, after all, perfect. In doing so he makes themfar more real and likable.Apparently, that’s what they wanted when they asked

McCormick to write their definitive story – warts and all.When I was editing this magazine (speaking of narcis-

sism), writers would ask how to arrange their personalstories of nautical adventures. “Well, what was the scari-est part?” I would ask. “When we hit the rock (or buoy, or other boat, or whale,

or whatever.)” “Well, then start there,” I would suggest. “Your reader

will love you for it.”So I was grateful when McCormick opened the story

by putting us aboard Taleisin at exactly the point wherethese two seemingly invincible voyagers were at theirmost vulnerable. It was a “bleak, black night” off thecoast of Argentina. Lin was on watch. Larry was asleepbelow, and the situation “was crossing a bridge from un-comfortable and bothersome to dangerous and terrifying.

It sneaked up on [Lin] like a slasher in a hor-ror flick. Alone on watch, she’d felt uneasy butmostly in control. A few heartbeats later, shewas swimming upstream against waves ofpanic.” Soon Larry came flying out of thecompanionway, “His hair and beard, nowflecked with gray, were tousled….’ What thehell’s wrong?’ he screamed, gaining hisbearings in the inky night.”Wow. And that’s just from the first threeparagraphs of the preface.In the following pages, McCormick

shows us a couple that is as impressive as ever, but farmore interesting, human and complicated than their ownwritings reveal. We hear from their critics. We are withthem at their not-so-stellar moments. We appreciate therisks they take, their incredible talent, their hard work,their profound understanding of, and commitment to,their mission.“It’s one of the couple’s major anomalies,” McCormick

writes. “While in their public personas, they cultivatedthe air of carefree slackers chasing endless summers, inreality they hardly ever stopped working.”If, like me, you have followed the Pardeys through their

many decades of voyaging and adventuring, and perhapsthought you’d come to know them pretty well, you owe itto yourself to read “As Long As It’s Fun.” It’s a great read,and an important re-examination of their astonishingstory.

Douglas Campbell, to explore the tragic sinking of theBounty after her captain, Robin Walbridge, misjudgedan encounter with Hurricane Sandy in the North At-lantic. The incident, of course, makes for compelling read-

ing. Sixteen terrified souls, far at sea, overtaken by amonster hurricane and overwhelmed by catastrophicfailures aboard their aging vessel, strug-gling to stay alive. There is a heroic and highly risky rescue

by the Coast Guard. Miraculously, onlyWalbridge and a member of the crew arelost. This is the successful Tougias recipe –big trouble at sea, a horrific nightmare forthe victims, a heroic intervention by res-cuers.But this is far more than a sea story. It is an

important, well-documented, carefully craftedinvestigation of a disaster that, for many rea-sons, as Tougias writes in an afterword, “didn’thave to happen.”And yet it did. It happened to an experienced and

gifted captain and a dedicated if somewhat-green crew,leaving families of both the victims and the survivors,as well as investigators, with a host of questions. Someof those questions will never be answered, but Tougiasand Campbell dig hard for the truth. That it remainselusive is the nature of things that happen far from

land, out of range of witnesses and video cameras. The authors artfully alternate between the situation

on the ship, the situation on land, and digressions thathelp the reader put the incident into perspective.Meanwhile, by developing the characters involved,they build a relationship between the participants in

the tragedy and the reader. As the stormrages, we care deeply about these people wehave come to know. We pray for them as thewater rises in the stricken old ship; we won-der at the complex character of the captainwho was left behind; and as mariners our-selves, we file this one away with lessonslearned, the warnings heard. “It appeared to almost everyone who methim that to understand how a Tall Shipoperated in the day of sail, one only hadto learn from Robin Walbridge. But…theship doesn’t discriminate: It’s going tohold you accountable.”

On our own boats, we’ve all been taught that lesson,probably more than once. It’s worth repeating. Sandy Marsters is co-founder, along with Bernie

Wideman, of Points East, and since the former relin-quished the reins of the magazine seven years ago, hehas done far more boating than the entire staff towhich he left his magazine. Perhaps there was amethod to his madness.

2013 marked Hinckley’s 85th year doing boat busi-ness in the state of Maine and it proved a year full ofreasons to celebrate. The company hit a five-year highin employment (the roster in Maine is 250, the highestsince 2008), launched 45 new power- and sailboats, an-nounced plans for two new models in 2014, and sawits storage sheds swell with boats awaiting winterwork in its flagship boatyard in Southwest Harbor. Hinckley expects to deliver over 50 new boats in

2014, several of which will go to the Pacific Coast. “Wehave expanded our operations on the Left Coast, andboaters out there seem to be taking to the Mainestyle,” said Andy Fitzpatrick, general manager of

Maine operations. “We have sold one of our first newTalaria 43s to southern California and several 34 foot-ers. We have also established a network of authorizedHinckley service providers, increasing the number ofyards to four, ready to service our owners from Seattleto San Diego.” The first of the new models to launch in 2014 will be

the Talaria 43, slated for a June splash. Hinckley billsthe T-43 as “a new breed of express yacht where theaft enclosure disappears at the touch of a button andthe shoreline disappears off your transom at 35 knots.” Closed, the windows and door of the hard aft enclo-

20. Condor, the very first Redline 41,

won overall in the 1972 SouthernOcean Racing Circuit. The new C&CRedline 41, displacing only 14,112pounds, is a racer/cruiser designedby Mark Mills to be fast, seaworthyand safe. The inherent speed showsthat she can win races at any level ofoffshore racing. The high-volume,powerful hull means that the 41 can

carry the accommodations and gearassociated with a modern perfor-mance cruising boat. This boat is customizable to ac-

commodate the owner’s type of sail-ing. Fast and sleek, you can configurethe 41 to position it into race mode.The Redline 41 is built with ad-vanced composite construction toISO Category A standards, and hasa carbon-fiber mast, cast-iron fin,and a lead bulb keel. Belowdeck, there is a navigation

table, settee berths in the maincabin, a double V-berth forward, andan enclosed head and shower. Thegalley is primed with a gimbaledpropane stove with oven, drygoodsstorage, stainless-steel sink, and alarge hinged-top icebox.

Maine Yacht Center in Portland ismaking modifications to an Open 60that was recently purchased by vet-eran singlehander Rich Wilson. Wil-son plans to compete in the nextVendee Globe, in 2016. This boat was designed by Owen

Clarke Design of England and builtby Southern Ocean Marine in Tau-ranga, New Zealand. She competedin the 2008 Vendee Globe, suffered akeel issue, and did not finish. In the2012 Vendee Globe, she was skip-pered by Dominique Wavre to a 7thplace finish. The main structure of the boat will

not be altered. However, the nav sta-tion has been removed, along with allthe wiring and electronics, andMaine yacht is making some minoralterations on the interior. The newnav station and seat will be muchmore comfortable than the previousone was. The Open 60 category wasdeveloped for the second BOC, a sin-gle-handed round-the-world race, in1986.

Briefly

Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding, in Thomaston, Maine, has anew in-house CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) depart-ment. This department will use 3D CAD (Computer AssistedDesign) and CAM (Computer Assisted Machining) software tosend part geometry data directly from the LMB design office

to their new CNC router a Haas GR-712 (aka “GretchenHaas”). Gretchen can cut a myriad of parts from hull molds, to bulk-

heads, to custom-designed, stainless-steel and aluminum fit-tings with a previously unattainable accuracy and speed, thusimproving productivity and product quality. Lyman-Morse hasutilized outside sources of CNC technology for several years,to cut molds for their fiberglass parts, joinery panels for theirinterior woodwork, aluminum electrical panels, foam-core kits,hull-half models, tank-testing models, and other parts andpieces that go into the development and production of theirboats. Now all this work can come in-house. FMI: www.lyman-morse.com.

True North, in Warren, R.I., has selected the new Optimus360 Joystick Control to be used in the new True North 34 MKIIOutboard Express. The Optimus 360 system is a culmination ofthree progressive subsystems: Optimus Electronic Power Steer-ing System, Optimus Electronic Shift/Throttle System, and theOptimus 360 Joystick Control System. This advanced combina-tion allows for 360 degrees of maneuverability while docking ornavigating through congested waterways or bays. With the Opti-mus 360 Joystick, the boat can move forward, backward, diag-onally, sideways and can rotate on it’s own axis. FMI:www.tnyachts.com.

Portland Yacht Services acquires Gowen Marine for expansionA well-known fixture on the city’s waterfront, Gowen

Marine, has been purchased by New Yard LLC andPortland Yacht Services, Inc. Phineas Sprague, Jr., pres-ident of Portland Yacht Services, is in the process of de-veloping a state-of-the-art boatyard facility onCommercial Street near the Casco Bay Bridge.The plan is described as an important measure that

will allow for the repair and service of larger marinevessels in Portland. The second Portland Yacht Serviceslocation, with a 150-ton Travelift, complements the newboat yard being built on the western end of the Portlandwaterfront. Maintenance, storage building and launch-ing ramp will be completed in the new yard in mid-November. Docks and other facilities will follow shortly.Portland Yacht Services will be operating out of threeproperties in Portland and expects to grow significantlyin the future.Gowen Marine was founded in 1955 by Harold

Gowen, and was purchased in 1968 by JosephSchmader, who grew the business into a two-acre com-plex at 400 Commercial Street that supports both com-mercial and recreational marine vessels. Schmader willcontinue to own and operate Gowen Power Systems,Inc., a separate company also located at 400 Commer-cial Street. Sprague and Schmader met in 1972, when Sprague

refitted his schooner for a circumnavigation atSchmader’s wharf and became fast friends. The twomen say they are excited about the city’s future andshare the same vision for reinvigorating a port that wasonce bustling, but was later hit hard by challenges con-nected to the commercial fishing industry.In August, after receiving his last permit for the new

boatyard facility, Sprague finalized the sale of the Port-land Marine Company Complex at 58 Fore Street. FMI:www.portlandyacht.com

A copy of Point’s East goes out with almost every boat in thespring and customers pick them up throughout the year. It’s afavorite. On the occasion an old issue remains it will find use

in the shop, as a final strop putting a razor edge on chiseland plane blades. The Editor’s page produces the finest edge.

Seal Cove Boatyard began in 1936 by John “Hal” Vaughan. Those early days coincided with the decline and end ofEastern Steamship Lines that gave regular service fromBoston and New York. To say that boatyard service was basic is an understatement of the first order. The yard’s

location on Cape Rosier in East Penobscot Bay was, at first,accessible only by water. The road built to the yard and

neighboring cottages was the first in the Town of Brooksville to be built by machine … a bulldozer!!

In 1954, the yard moved from its small and exposed location on Seal Cove to a new location just around the corner on

protected Horseshoe Cove … just ahead of infamousHurricane Carol. There began decades of confusion aboutSeal Cove Boatyard on Horseshoe Cove... and 30 years

of seasonal service and a custom building program.

Today, the yard stores more than 200 boats, many of them vintage wood. A typical season involves paint and varnish,

planks and frames, fiberglass and AwlGrip. Seal CoveBoatyard provides a very complete service under the

guidance of Bob Vaughan who is, somewhat gracefully, ceding authority to his son Sam, the third generation.

By Michael J. TougiasFor Points East

Mike Tougias – author of “Rescue ofthe Bounty” on page 48 – spent consid-erable time interviewing survivors fea-tured in his books about survival atsea, and he learned that a certainmindset and a few techniques are use-ful in life-and-death situations.

1Do not project past outcomes tocurrent situations. Our mindsautomatically size up a situation

compared to something similar expe-rienced in our pasts. We then projectthe prior outcome into the new situa-tion, and determine that if we followa similar course of action everythingwill be fine. But every situation is dif-ferent, and we must force ourselves tolook at each important event on itsown merits. There could be a variablethat might dictate success or failure.

How do people survive dire situations at sea?

True survivors do not waste time thinking about the distant future; they look atwhat they need to do now to move one step closer to their goal.

2Adrenaline can be the enemy. When adrenalinekicks in, it often prompts us to take quick action.Fight that urge for just a short period, and in-

stead pause. Often times the simple act of pausinggives us time to think of several options, rather thanleaping into action.

3Sticking to “the plan” can get you in over yourhead. So many people force the situation to meettheir plan or their schedule, and end up causing

a high-pressure situation. It’s better to let the situa-tion form your plan, even if it means abandoning theschedule entirely, and trying again down the road.

4Suspend the past and future and, instead, do“the next right thing.” True survivors do notwaste time thinking about how they got into

such a position, or who to blame. Nor do they wastetime thinking about the distant future, which mightlead to the “what’s the use” syndrome. Instead theylook at what they need to do now to move them onestep closer to their goal.

5The power of little steps is the way to go. Eventhe smallest bit of action can get the ball rollingtoward fulfillment. Noteworthy accomplish-

ments are rarely gained without behind the scenespreparation that might feel insignificant at the timebut taken together with other little steps, sends youtoward your goal.

6When given the option, choose the decision thatis reversible. Successful decision-makers are notafraid to make a U-turn. They never say, “I’ve

put so much time into this, I might as well keep go-ing….” Instead, they take a cold look at their decisionand are not afraid to make modifications according tothe situation unfolding before them.

7Celebrate the little achievements. Every truesurvivor takes the time to acknowledge little vic-tories. They give themselves a pat on the back.

We should do the same in our own life, and abolishthe detrimental thinking that says, “I’ll be happywhen…..”

FINAL PASSAGES/ they wi l l be mi s s ed


LAST WORD/Nina M. Scot t

The life and times of Capt. Jim Sharp

It is not an easy job to describe a man as complexas Jim Sharp. The thrice-married former Penob-scot Bay schooner captain and nimble en-

trepreneur, has been, since 2009, the owner of Sharp’sPoint South in Rockland, Maine, where he runs theSail, Power & Steam Museum.

Capt. Sharp in his museum.

My husband, Jim, and I first met Capt. Sharp lastsummer, accompanied by Tom Hammermeister, an ac-tive volunteer and board member at the museum. JimSharp is tall, lean, with piercing blue eyes, a perennialcap on his head, quick to smile, and a master story-teller. He leans on a cane and walks with a pronouncedlimp – the result of polio when he was four – whichadds to his Long John Silveraura. But this did not slowhim down during the twohours he accompanied usthroughout his museum. Listening to his colorful

narrations, we could appreci-ate why he was a particu-larly successful and popularschooner captain – someoneskilled both in seamanshipand in performance – foraside from his yarns, Sharpalso played the guitar andsang chanteys to his passen-gers. His heart still belongsto the 122-foot Grand Banksschooner Adventure, whichcould do 14 knots with a goodbreeze behind her. Capt. Sharp sailed her out

of Camden from 1965through 1988. When she wasdeemed unfit to carry pas-sengers, he donated her tothe renowned commercial-fishing port of Gloucester,Mass., where she is now ahistorical monument thatstill sails the Atlantic. Built in 1926, the Adven-

ture is not only beautiful,but, during her working ca-reer, was the all-time “highliner,” the most profitablevessel in the Gloucester fishing fleet. Best of all, Sharpgot to sail her once again at the end of last summer,just before we paid a second visit to his museum. This museum is a very personal one, reflecting Capt.

Sharp’s life and interests. One of the first rooms heshowed us was devoted to antique engines, all of whichrun on compressed air. Now engine displays do notnormally stop me in my tracks, mostly because I reallydon’t understand their innards. These, however, Ifound riveting, especially with the Captain at my el-bow to explain how unusual they were. My favoritewas a small brass engine built by Jim’s grandfather,which Capt. Sharp kept for years until his museum be-came a reality. “I even have a make-and-break enginein my living room,” he told us, winking. “Doesn’t every-

one?” Sharp showcases the local history of Rockland: the

lime rock industry, shipbuilding (his property is lo-cated on the site of the former Snow Shipyard), andtrade, which, in the 19th century, made Rockland thefourth most active port in the country. Capt. Sharp has a fine collection of old navigational

instruments, includingNathaniel Bowditch’s ownbackstaff (made in 1701) andastrolabe (1674) and areplica of a 14th-century lati-tude hook with knottedstring (similar to an Indiankamal) to hold the device ata fixed distance, either byputting the knot betweenyour teeth or next to youreyes while sighting the sunor the North Star – and hecan demonstrate how allthese were used by marinersin centuries past. To me, the graphical stabil-

ity calculator was one of hismore interesting gadgets.Mounted on gimbals, a metalplatform about 18 by 30inches held a rendering ofthe cross-section of afreighter, showing cargospaces in the hold. Weightsrepresenting tonnage scaledfor the ship’s cargo spacescould be moved around theplatform with an eye to dis-tributing the cargo to main-tain a ship’s stability. In the1920s, this calculator wasused in shipping offices that,

once stability was attained, would pass along ordersof what should be stowed where, which freight was tobe unloaded first, and the like.Beautiful ship’s models are everywhere. There are

shipbuilding tools and hand-sewn sails, reflectingskills that Jim Sharp learned at an early age. Did youknow that locust wood lasts longer than steel? Neitherdid I. Capt. Jim is an expert at nautical knots, andruns workshops to teach them. There are touches ofhumor in the labeling of some of the items: “Cannon-ball stolen from the arsenal of the USS Constitutionby an unknown perpetrator. Generously donated by_________.”Jim Sharp came to Friendship, our summer home,

in August, to give a lecture on Friendship sloops. Heand his volunteers are finishing a Friendship begun

Jim Sharp is 80 now, and the future of his museum is uncer-tain, but he remains a buccaneer with a nose for business.

in 1966 by Carlton Simmons, former Friendship post-master and skilled boatbuilder. This project had sat ina barn for decades in its unfinished state. Listening to his lecture, I could clearly see the Cap-

tain’s entrepreneurial side emerging. Besides acquir-ing theunfinished hull(now aptly namedPersistence) as adonation, he dis-covered Eagle, a1907 derelictFriendship sloopof about the samesize, abandonedin a yard inSpruce Head. Hegot this one as adonation as well,then salvagedfrom her what hecould use: keel,engine, steeringgear, and mast. Dedicated vol-

unteers are work-ing onPersistence, andCapt. Jim hopesto launch her sometime this year. And he doesn’t planto stop there.In his words, he “thought about it six ways from Sun-

day” (a favorite expression) and eventually plans totake paying passengers out in her to experience lob-ster fishing as it once was: wooden traps, fishing undersail, etc. He also plans to race Persistence in theFriendship Sloop Races. The competitive old schoonercaptain has not gone away.Before leaving the Sail, Power & Steam Museum,

Jim Sharp urged us to acquire his book, “With Reck-less Abandon” (Downeast Books, $20; reviewed withgreat enthusiasm in the October/November 2007 issue

of Points East). The title is well chosen. In his memoirhe comes across as fearless, imaginative, but also aman used to getting his own way. Example: During the1986 Operation Sail, he took his schooner and passen-gers into a New Jersey anchorage reserved for small

spectator boats.“Sweeping theway ahead withmy 25-footbowsprit andnearly skewer-ing the riggingon what we af-fectionatelycalled a Cloroxbottle…,” Capt.Sharp wrote, “Ibarged rightinto the illegalanchorage.That giganticsprit … intimi-dated theircrew into up-ping their an-chor and movingelsewhere, en-abling us to en-joy their

anchorage . . . .” Jim Sharp is 80 now, and the future of his museum

is uncertain, but giving up is not in his vocabulary. Heremains a buccaneer with a nose for business. He canalso be quite endearing. As he says in his book, “…there are only so many heartbeats in a lifetime, andone must get all the goodness out of each and everyone.”Nina M. Scott and her husband, Jim, sail their Tri-

ton, Caledonian, out of Friendship in the summers,and are enthusiastic supporters of, and participantsin, the Friendship Chowder Cup Race every August.The rest of the year they live in Amherst, Mass.
