82 To sail or not to sailIn the late fall of 2008, a good friend of mineconvinced me not to sail south, but to take onan assignment in South America. That did notcome to pass, but by the time that decisionwas made, Selkie was already hauled andstored in New England.

EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Marsh

The shop that keeps on giving

What’s 218 years old, hasbeen operating without in-terruption since 1793 on

the same Massachusetts river, has atide-flushed toilet, and is crewedmostly by volunteers?Well it’s not quite a vessel, if that’s

what you’re thinking, but it may aswell be one. Perched on an Ames-bury, Mass., bluff on the north shoreof the Merrimack River, some sixmiles from the mouth as the heronflies, the Lowell Boat Shop churnedout so many small craft that, upuntil 50 years ago, the foreman keptscore by carving numbers of outgoingboats on a beam beside the baydoors. One section of the facility wasfloated down the Merrimack to itspresent site, so at least a part of theshop logged some sea time.So many boats were efficiently

produced at the shop that HenryFord made a pilgrimage to Lowell’s,seeking ways to streamline his ownassembly lines, which, according tovintage-car buff Dennis Donahue, had already manu-factured 17 million Model Ts in 19 years. In the early19th century, Lowell’s employed on average only 30craftsmen to build, paint and deliver, by horse cart, 18-foot nesting dories for the Grand Banks fishingschooners. “And the dories had to be well built, too,”said Dennis, who was our tour guide this midsummerday. “The life of a dory at sea was three years backthen; for fishermen, it was only two.” Each 18-foot dorycould hold two and a half tons of fish and a pair of do-rymen and still remain seaworthy for hours, evendays, in heavy weather.As Dennis led us into the workshop, we savored the

pungent odor of cedar. Noting our lapse into aromatherapy, he pointed to a boat in the stocks. “Easternwhite cedar, five-eighths-inch,” he explained, pointingto a 19-foot lapstrake Amesbury Point Skiff, a sportfishing boat for a family in Juneau, Alaska. “We’ve hadfamilies in which each generation has bought a boatfrom us,” he added.“This is the prettiest boat we build,” Dennis said,

pointing at a carvel-planked Atlantic Skiff. A few yearsago, one of these was built for a couple with all the op-tions and bells and whistles, and when it was returnedfor maintenance, Dennis noted its mint condition and

asked, whimsically, “Do you keep itin your living room?”“Why yes,” the owner replied,

seemingly surprised at Dennis’s in-tuition.Another customer had an Atlantic

built for his corporate corner office.“Just to display a vintage Evinrudeoutboard motor on its transom,”Dennis added.Lowells’ sole builder, Graham

McKay, has a 200-ton captain’s li-cense, and is one of a handful ofskippers to command the 125-footSpirit of Massachusetts, a replica ofthe 1889 Gloucester fishingschooner Fredonia, designed by Ed-ward Burgess. Asked how he came towork at the Boat Shop, the Ames-bury native said, “I actually crewedon the Spirit first, as a 13-year-old,under Capt. Vid Whitney, LynnWhitney’s [Points East’s Maine adrep] husband, who was one of mymentors early on.”When Graham was in high school,

he received a boatbuilding scholarship at Lowell’s.Long story short, he built a boat, later taught a class,and in time became its builder. “When I turned 18, Istarted working fulltime for Vid on the Spirit,” he said.To simply repair and build boats would be much too

one-dimensional for Lowell’s Boat Shop, a nonprofitworking museum and national landmark. Today, it of-fers classes in boatbuilding and model-boat crafting,and rowing opportunities for young and old in theMerrimack. Lowell’s also provides boatbuilding classesfor special-needs students, for whom such curriculaare more likely to help them achieve greater self-suf-ficiency and more success in school and in the commu-nity than traditional classroom situations. Lowell’s Boat Shop is about to embark on a fundrais-

ing campaign to finance construction of a whaleboatfor the Mystic Seaport-based Charles W. Morgan.Points East readers interested in contributing to thissignificant project can visit www.lowellsboatshop.comor call 978-834-0050.Now, about that tide-flushed head: These days, more

a museum artifact than a functioning loo, it’s still po-sitioned below the high-tide mark and in full displayfor visitors, the sole component of Lowell’s Boat Shopthat no longer keeps on giving.

Lowell Boat Shop designed and builtboats to ply what the Coast Guarddeems the second most dangerousriver mouth in the country, said volun-teer Dennis Donahue.

Points East October/November 2011

Wyeth’s clouds and Roper’s prose “Bring In the Clouds”

(Editor’s Page, July2010) struck a note withmy husband Ronald andme. He attended juniorand senior high schoolat Westtown FriendsSchool in Pennsylvania.On the dining room wallthere hangs a painting,“The Giant,” by famedartist NC Wyeth, com-missioned by the class-mates of a boy who diedyoung. It has hung theresince 1926. The painting captures

the sea, the imaginationof children, and, ofcourse, the endless fasci-nation of clouds. Here isthe website for the history and viewing of the painting,and, as told there, the boy who died was artistic and abeliever in the power and beauty of the sea, which allsailors share: www.westtown.edu/about-westtown/his-tory.I tried to get a copy of the painting online for you to

print, but wasn’t successful. It is possible to buy theprint for $25 or a more elaborate version, as I under-stand it, from the school store. We have it and it hangsin the nautical-style library of our home. Westtown isa venerable institution and worthy of support by thepurchase. Additionally, I would like to say that I enjoy David

Roper’s columns, and I especially remember the onehe wrote about the barge drivers on the Mississippi inSt. Paul, Minn., and believe I know of the bar underthe Wabash Street Bridge he referred to. Not that I fre-quented it. I grew up on the St. Croix River near Hud-son, Wisc., just a few miles from where it joins theMississippi at Prescott, Wisc. Always wonderful to seethat juncture, the brown of the Muddy Miss, and theclear blue of the protected national waterway, the St.Croix. We love your publication. We sail our 43-foot TaswellEndorphin out of Marion, Mass. My husband knewKen MacKenzie, whose obituary you just published inthe August issue.

Who needs satellite navigation?While sailing this past August with my 91-year-old

uncle, Bob Seidman, and my aunt, Ann Seidman, andothers aboard their sloop Naledi, from Robinhood,Maine, we spotted a lobsterman fishing Love Cove onSouthport Island in his boat At Last, fully equippedwith a GPS (Gull Positioning System). Love Cove livesup to its name. Ringed by rock, spruce and some oldsummer homes, including the treetop home of an os-prey family, it is a deep and quiet spot to enjoy lunch,a swim, and whatever else tickles your fancy. We were tickled to see the gulls piloting this vessel.

Martha White, granddaughter of writer E.B. White,commented that “buoys are just off the stern. Three ofthem, staring wistfully, as the three gulls forge ahead.”Naledi, by the way, means “star” in South African. Mybrother used to own a sloop, Starlight, and I sail an-other sloop, Stardust.

Ahoy PE, here’s the catboat newsThanks for what looks like an expanded edition for

August. It just provided some great articles for readingwhile under way. I sail a Marshall 18, sailing to Cut-tyhunk, Hadleys and around Buzzards Bay. By the way, next year is the 50th anniversary of the

Catboat Association, with a celebration at Mystic Sea-port. It is also the 50th for Marshall Marine, of whichGeoff Marshall, son of founder Breck, is now theowner. We expect a record number of catboats, lots ofcelebration, a band, tent, etc. My 18, Ahoy, is mooredjust outside the yard in Padanaram, South Dart-

“The Giant” by NC Wyeth cap-tures the essence of the JulyPoints East editorial, “Bring inthe Clouds,” about the fancifulnature of the formations.

mouth. Being retired Navy/Coast Guard, I’m down at the

yard about thee or four days a week. I pick up my copyof Points East there. Geoff is now making the Sakon-net 23. Geoff has a new website at marshallcat.com,and it’s really well done. Also, don’t know if you followed last year’s ren-

dezvous at Marshalls. The wooden catboats Kathleenand Silent Maid were there for the race in BuzzardsBay. With some research, it would make a fantasticstory. Unfortunately, I’m not gifted with words. Any-way, keep up the good work. I’ve followed PE for manyyears now, and I can truly say the word it out. I’ll giveit a “BZ” – Bravo Zulu!

Pup was good crew on BluebirdWe look forward to each issue of Points East and

have been reading it for 11 years. Three years ago, our4-year-old grandson was spending time on board withus and wanted to bring his dog. We were not sure howthis arrangement would work – a 4-year-old and hispuppy. Pup found a safe place on s/v Bluebird, nevergave a whimper, and was well cared for by his youngowner.

Here, Manny Stringos and his grandpa Gust Strin-gos row Pup ashore. No barking or prancing – just lotsof love. Manny is now 7 and has outgrown Pup, but thefond memories of that adventure remain-for all of us.Thank you for reading this. Even if you don’t use it,

I can say I followed through on something I had inten-tions of doing three years ago. We keep the boat on amooring in the north end of the harbor in Rockland,Maine.

Beaufort-bound, Overbeys are OKThis past June I retired from teaching, and my hus-

band and I decided to relocate where we could enjoy alonger sailing season – Beaufort, N.C. Hurricane Ireneintervened during the process of moving our boat, Cel-ebration, to her new home port. My husband and our boat were in Buzzard’s Bay

when the hurricane’s path toward New England be-came obvious, while I was in western Massachusettsattending to my 84-year-old mother, who was recuper-ating from heart surgery. The day Irene made landfallI turned on the Weather Channel to see a windblownbroadcaster standing in downtown Beaufort, N.C.,while my husband was having no luck finding a safeplace to put Celebration. It was then that fate took pity on us and led my hus-

band to Parker’s Boat Yard in Red Brook Harbor. Theyhad a mooring, and, as they assured my now frazzledspouse, they had weathered quite a few storms in theirhistory. Long story short: Boat is OK, reports are thatour new (to us) house is OK, and we are slowly makingour way to Beaufort. We plan to sail the Bahamas right after the holidays

and we will be back to New England every summer asour only grandchild resides here. Did I mention thatalthough she’s only 10 I plan to have her attend Duke?

Susan OverbeyBeaufort, N.C.

Editor’s note: Former New Hampshire residentSusan Overbey’s most recent offering to Points Eastwas her Guest Perspective “Who’d Name a Boat afterBiogas?” in the September issue.

For love of boats, books, imagesThe editorial regarding our 40th is marvelous (See

Editor’s Page, “International Marine: 40 Years andCounting,” September). Your description of the narrowoffice you shared reminded me of the saloon-like cozi-ness of the office I shared with my assistant in 1987. We had two layout tables covered with poster-size,

hand-drawn maps of the coast of Maine – these for thefirst edition of the Tafts’ “Cruising Guide to the Maine

Manny Stringos and grandpa Gust Stringos row Pup ashore.There was no barking or prancing about, just lots of love.Manny is now 7 and has outgrown Pup, but the fond memo-ries remain.


Coast.” My assistant was cutting rubyliths to mark theareas being shaded in the final, printed book. My, my,how things have changed, but not Tafts’ CruisingGuide, a landmark and controversial book when wepubbed it (folks took issue with the Tafts revealing allthe wonders of cruising the coast) that is still in print,and has made a comfortable income for its currentpublisher. You and I – and many more – share a love of boats,

books, the words and images, and especially the peo-ple, who also share those loves.

Nina Scott’s still paying forwardMy wife, Deb Dawson, and I were cruising in Mus-

congus Bay this past August aboard our yawl NightOwl, and decided to stop in Friendship Cove for provi-sions. Now the protocol of vacant moorings is alwaysa tricky situation. I myself favor the position thatevery boat has the right to occupy any mooring subjectonly to the rights of the True Owner or his assignees.So when I spied an empty mooring as we came intoFriendship, it didn’t take me long to come about andpick it up. The plan was for Deb to go ashore in our dinghy

while I stayed aboard in the event that the TrueOwner returned to assert his possessory rights. Notlong after we had secured the pendant, we spied a gen-tleman rowing towards us in a rather determinedmanner. Thinking that he was the True Owner’s sur-rogate coming to throw us off the mooring, we werejust a little apprehensive as he pulled alongside. Heintroduced himself as “Jim” and told us that the moor-ing belonged to his neighbor but made no mention ofhaving us vacate. We chatted a bit and learned that he did not want

to move us along as we supposed. Rather, he was justbeing friendly and wanted to know if he could be ofservice to us. When we explained our need for provi-sions, Jim offered to drive us to the general store,which Jim explained was a fair walking distance away.Deb accepted Jim’s kind offer and took our dinghy toJim’s dock. Here she met his wife Nina, who was packing up

their belongings in preparation for their return toAmherst Mass., where Nina taught in Amherst’sSpanish Department. Jim took Deb to the store, whereprovisions were acquired, and before returning her toour dinghy, Nina gave her an almost-full quart of icecream for us to enjoy that evening. Now that’s NewEngland hospitality!We had the August issue of Points East onboardNight Owl, but clearly we had not read it yet. That

same evening, as I turned my attention to the GuestPerspective by Nina Scott entitled “Paying Forward,”a great story about mariners helping mariners, I soonrealized that our newly discovered friends were thesame Jim and Nina Scott who discovered the poten-tially life-saving benefits available when marinershelp mariners in distress. What Nina and Jim demonstrated to us was that the

benefits mariners can offer to others is not limited tosaving lives or property. Sometimes all you need is alift to the store. Many thanks to both of them for theirfriendship in Friendship and, as of Aug. 26, happy 50thwedding anniversary.

Give Boothbay Land Trust a patI read with interest David Buckman’s “Musings on

Damariscove,” (Fetching Along, September). . . . I wasquite surprised at the absence of any mention of theBoothbay Region Land Trust, current owners of the is-land, deeded to the Land Trust in 2005 by the NatureConservancy. The Land Trust provides public access by maintain-

ing a float with available courtesy dinghies; it has twoguest moorings, serviced annually. The stone pier men-tioned in the article was recently rebuilt with fundsobtained by the Land Trust and is used as a workingwaterfront site by four local lobstermen. Summer caretakers who maintain the several trails

on the island and help maintain a small museum pic-tured in the article. There are also composting toiletsfor the convenience of visitors. Trail guides are avail-able at a kiosk near the float ramp (along with en-velopes for donations to help steward the island). The bucolic pleasures extolled by the author are in

fact facilitated in many ways by the Land Trust, oneof several nonprofits that steward islands along thecoast, keeping them open for generations of boaters.Public access is a major objective of BRLT on its 1,700acres of preserves and over 30 miles of trails on theBoothbay Region mainland. Damariscove is one of sixislands owned and stewarded by BRLT. For further information about Boothbay Region

Land Trust, visit our web site.Nathaniel Wing, president

Boothbay Region Land TrustEast Boothbay, Maine

David responds: My column about Damariscovewas clearly not intended to be a guide to its facilities,history or management, but about the emotional di-mension of a visit. It’s the second column I’ve writtenabout the island.


The mystery harbor in September’s Points Eastis Third Beach, at the southern end of SakonnetRiver in Rhode Island. All the moorings are pri-

vate, and the holding ground is very good. The prevail-ing wind is southwest, and it is a very comfortablespot. I would suspect that any north winds would beuncomfortable. The beach is also called Navy Beach because of a

military bath-house at thenorthern end ofthe beach. It isa great place forwind surfers,and it is a nicefamily beach. Itis a wide U-shaped anchor-age with greatswimming, and it’s also very quiet. There are no realareas to visit from this anchorage – unless you wantto take a stroll along the beach or the nearby road. If you enter the Sakonnet from seaward, the ap-

proach is fairly easy. Entering the Sakonnet from thenorth is a little tricky. You must pass under the bridgesat Tiverton. Presently, there is construction on thebridges, so check with Portsmouth Police harbormas-ter. You will also be constrained by the height of thebridges if you are a sailor. Bigger sailboats with highmasts may not be able to enter from the north. If you are lucky enough to enter from the north, it is

a beautiful trip down the Sakonnet River to ThirdBeach. Be aware of the current under the bridges and1/2 mile as you go through the breakwater. The tripnorth is also very nice and can put you near the townof Bristol in Narragansett Bay.Just a note: Don’t judge a book by its cover. One day

many years ago, while our family was on the beach,two scruffy looking guys came to the beach from thewater. I noticed a large fishing vessel with many birdsflying about anchored near my boat. A short time later,a lady arrived with a large roll of fishing nets. Theguys saw my dinghy and asked for a lift to the fishingboat. My concern was, how many of those birds aredropping their stuff on my boat? When I delivered the guys to their boat, they asked,

“Do you like lobsters?” My answer was obvious, and wereceived a garbage bag full of live lobsters. It was agreat evening, especially knowing we only had grilledcheese sandwich left after a two-week sojourn. Ourkids, who are in their 30s, have never forgotten that

day.Lastly it is a great spot to stop over on your way east

to Cutty or west to Newport.Dave DeMuth

We stop here when passing byThis appears to me to be Third Beach, near Newport.

Just off camera, to the left, is St. George’s School, aprep school where my son wanted to go dearly. A dearfriend of ours now deceased, George Campbell, did at-tend, arriving just after the hurricane of 1938. We an-chor off the beach almost every time we pass throughthe area. Being Massachusetts sailors with a love ofthe Maine coast, that isn’t often.

Was my view for 12 happy yearsThe August Mystery Harbor photograph, repeated

in your September edition, is Third Beach, along theSakonnet River in Middletown, R.I., looking towardIndian Avenue. About a mile to the west is the chapelat St. George’s School, its tower being the highest pointon Aquidneck Island. In the early 1940s, German subsused it as a landfall. Fortunately, they were never ableto get around the corner into Newport Harbor. For 12happy years, I looked out the window at St. Georgesto enjoy the view of Third Beach.

points west. It is a lovely spot to relax on the boat andswim. The depth is 15 to 25 feet, with good holdingground, and protected. Third Beach is nice, sandy beach. One can walk over

to Second Beach, which is on the ocean side of thepeninsula and is larger with nice waves. Both havelifeguards on duty. The end of Sachuest Point is a 1.5-mile walk. It is well worth the hike out as there is avisitor’s center and some beautiful hiking trials.In fact, we were in Third Beach harbor yesterday

(Sept. 4). We had stayed at Dodson’s yard, in Stoning-ton, Conn., the previous night, where I picked up thisissue of Points East. We are now moored in VineyardHaven.

Go south of fish traps at mouthIt looks like Third Beach at Sachuest Point on the

Sakonnet River, looking north. Years ago there wereno moorings there, and we used to overnight whenheaded east from Mystic, Conn. There was a Navyrecreation facility building that is now gone. On the hill to the left, cut out of the picture, is the

tower at St. George’s School. West of the mouth of theSakonnet River, off Second Beach, was an area of fish

traps that needed to be avoided by going well south ofthem. It seemed like they went on, with their bluebeer-barrel floats, forever. We haven’t been there inyears, as we now stop (if we do) at Sakonnet Point,across the river.

Third Beach is good staging areaThis harbor off Third Beach can be an uneasy an-

chorage. In settled weather the holding is good, deepsand. The anchorage is south of Wood’s Castle andwest of Sakonnet Point. The swell makes its way in,and Miracle, our International Marine 35, tends to rolla bit at anchor. If we’re getting a late start for a summer cruise

Ijust returned from the Wooden Boat Fes-tival in Port Townsend, Wash. It’s billedas the world’s largest assembly of

wooden boats, and is set amidst the charmof a town filled with Victorian architecture,and great restaurants and shops. All quite magical. But for me, something

was wrong. Like a five-year-old at his birth-day party, I found this was all too much sud-den stimulation; too much cake and icecream; too many objects vying for my atten-tion. I walked the docks first, my eyesyanked from one amazing vessel to another.I interviewed many owners of classic craftof all sizes and ages. Maybe I’d been eatingtoo much coho salmon and Dungeness crabfor two days, but slowly an odd feeling began to leakinto my stomach and psyche. It was real subtle at first and had something to do

with a commonly shared demeanor I sensed amongstmany of the wooden-boat owners. I couldn’t quite putmy finger on it, but it was as if each was a bit preoccu-

pied with something just beneath the sur-face. It wasn’t until I wandered past the GitRot Penetrating Epoxy booth that theGhost of my Wooden Boat Past returned.Let me quote from my own writing of thatperiod, 36 years ago:In 1975, I very quickly and easily bought

a 28-foot wooden cutter. I fell for her grace-ful counter stern, her bowsprit, and her tallrig. I was so much in love that I didn’tbother to poke into her past. I talked to her,patted her and even sang to her. I alsopumped her. From the moment I launchedher at the old owner’s yard in Connecticutuntil I sold her two years later she neverstopped leaking. Incessantly. Constantly.

Even out of the water she leaked, as rainwater camethrough the cockpit and cabin. But I persevered and began rebuilding her. I found

planks rotten, and then taking the planks out, I foundthat the screws had deteriorated. Then the ribs under-

Don’t give us a hard time for bringing up the end of boating sea-son. It’s not our fault Mother Nature didn’t exactly play nice thisyear. Hopefully most of you were able to log some precious timeon the water but let’s face facts; haul-outs and shrink wrap are inthe near future. So what is your plan this year to combat themoisture and mold that inevitably occurs every off-season?Hanging desiccant bags? Oh wait, those eventually saturate andend up dripping everywhere. What about the moisture buckets?We’ve been informed they do the same thing as the bags so you’vegot to place them in the sink, but then that’s no good eitherbecause you certainly can’t have any overflow moisture draininginto the pipes during freezing temperatures. So that leaves youwith the chlorine dioxide pouches. Did you know you can’t usethose within 18” of fabrics, electronics or metals? Well then,where in the name of Neptune are you supposed to put them on aboat? Certainly seems like the options are becoming increasinglylimited.

So maybe it seems we’re picking a little too much on the tradi-tional storage methods for preventing moisture and mold. But wemust be honest. With our travels this past year we’re only repeat-ing what we’ve been told by you, the boating public and people inthe industry. The overwhelming theme is you’re running out ofoptions. Let’s look at some facts; storage in the north, barringextenuating weather issues, is going to be anywhere from 5 to 7months long. During that time the condition of your boat whenit’s first stored will be challenged throughout the off-season by anincreasingly humid environment, limited ventilation, active moldand bacteria spores waiting for the right chance to nurture and,in some parts of the country, freezing temperatures. And let’s notforget the literal greenhouse created when the above mentionedgoodies have the opportunity to bake in the heat.

We know moisture will accumulate in the boat during storage andshould be controlled in some way. However we also know thatmost of us will still have mold growth and odor presence in thespring. Let us suggest you try thinking outside the box a bit. Whatif we offered a solution in the form of a product that can rid theair of mold, bacteria, fungi and even some viruses, naturally andwithout any chemicals we might add, and when used during stor-age will prevent mold growth and odors? That product isKanberra Gel.

Now before you roll youreyes and think this is justsome self-serving promo-tion read on a bit further.For the past couple yearsmany readers of this publi-cation and your fellowboaters from Maine to SanDiego, and Miami toSeattle, have been usingKanberra Gel in storageand throughout the season with well documented success.

Too good to be true you say? Don’t take my word for it; lookonline, check with your local marina or even contact us directly.We’re certain you’ll find Kanberra Gel to be the product you’vebeen waiting for to protect your investment. It’s simple to use;open the container and place anywhere on a flat surface. It works24/7, 365 days a year with no mess, no plugs, no wires and notearing of bags. And did I mention no chemicals?

neath the planks didn’t look so good. I even had rot inthe deck canvas. And rotten drain hoses in the cockpitand around the engine and under the sink. Rotten. Rot-ten. Rotten. Everything was rotten. Even the idea ofbuying the boat in the first place seemed rotten. I tried to justify all this. By not quitting, I was facing

up to these challenges and developing inner strength, Itold myself. I told others that this boat was my pilotflame; this boat was beautiful, her timbers adzed andcut and shaped by a builder who took pride in his craft.It wasn’t a synthetic creation of a craft poured and mat-ted out in the resinous fumes of a fiberglass boat factory.Everything had grown from the land. The land hadgrown from the ocean. The trees had grown from theland. And now this boat had grown from the trees. Andsoon it would be back, sailing in harmony with theocean.In the process of rebuilding her, I lost a couple of sum-

mers of sailing. That second year, I’d hoped to launch byLabor Day. It came and went. But a week later thatlaunch day did come. Actually, it was night. Moonlessand raining. But the tide was right. There was no cere-mony and no crowd. I poured the rest of my beer on thestem, nodded to Mel, the big Swede who ran the boat-yard, and down the rails she went. And she would havekept going down if it weren’t for two days of pumping.Constantly. Incessantly. She never did swell up.

And so they hauled us out. We were castaways. Re-jects from the ocean. I hadn’t caulked her right, theytold me. Or maybe the massive horn timber was rotten,they said. Rotten. They used that word again. For a longwhile I sat there on the edge of the cradle, the freshlypainted red bottom looming over me. I was chain smok-ing (the boat also caused this long-since-abandonedhabit). Bilge water dripped through the poorly caulkedplanks onto my head. And then, as if in the climax of a séance, the boat and

I saw each other and communicated. I explained thatwe were through, that it was not in the stars for us tobe together. Life would be better for us both if weparted. “Everyone,” I said aloud to her beautifulrounded bottom, “gets dumped sooner or later. Other-wise, we’d all be married to our first girlfriend.”Just then, the high volume automatic bilge pump

came on. It was just a short squirt that hit me, but I gotthe message. And it was still with me, 36 years later, inPort Townsend, Wash.Dave Roper’s book, “Watching for Mermaids,” is com-ing this fall. As a boy, in a Maine cove, Dave stumbledupon two mermaids. No one believed him then. No onebelieves him now. But he kept watching and wondering:What is imagined and what is real? And what he pulledfrom the sea was the mystery, possibility joy, fear, anduncertainty mermaids represent. Based on real experi-ences, these 33 stories take you on that journey.

“Swim, Randy! Swim for shore!” “Right!” I yelled back at my brother-in-law, but

swimming wasn’t easy. The water temperature wassomewhere in the 40s, and the outgoing tide wassweeping me downriver at an alarming rate. I knewthe guys wouldn’t be able to get to me quickly. I alsoknew I wasn’t going to drown and become anothertragic Saco River statistic for 2008. We’d already hadtoo many of them. But swimming was tough and I wasgetting cold fast. Thank God for the life jacket. When I popped to the

surface, the life vest turned me on my back and keptme there. I liked that. I liked breathing air. Once I re-alized the life jacket would keep me up, I relaxed a lit-tle and let the panic subside. I told myself, “You’re notgonna die. Not today anyway.” I started backstroking for the closest shore, which

happened to be the Biddeford side of the Saco River. Iflopped my soggy arms up and over, up and over, likesome wounded seal with unwieldy flippers strugglingtoward dry land. I knew the real danger was hypother-mia. I knew all about it. As a Registered Maine GuideI had been trained in all aspects of hypothermia and Iknew how deadly being wet and excessively cold couldbe. I knew I needed to get out of the water as soon as

humanly possible, but the outgoing tide wasn’t help-ing, nor was the rushing river current. If there everwas a time to panic and yell for help, this might havebeen it, but I knew there was no one to help me. No, ifI was going to live that afternoon it was up to me tosave myself. Thank God for that life jacket. If you’ve never flipped over in a kayak or slipped off

a dock or fallen overboard from a boat then you can’treally relate to my predicament. I was in serious dan-ger. Like most accidents, it happened so quickly wewere totally surprised. Everything was going alongnormally. Just a typical work day on the water, andthen, just like that, someone’s life was on the line – mylife. We were totally unprepared, except for the lifejackets. All three of us had them on. It was late November and we had spent the past

four weeks disassembling our marina, pulling out thedocks and the gas pump and the finger piers. We werejust finishing up a few oddball jobs, and one of themwas to bring the moorings in for inspection. Mooringshave to be inspected by the harbormaster every other

year, so we bring the granite blocks ashore in the fallwhere they’ll be available for reviewing and repairsin the spring. This was a routine job, something we all knew how

to do and a task we’d performed hundreds of times inyears past. The only issue was the weather. A chill au-tumn wind was blowing down the river, pushing uplittle whitecaps. We were all dressed against the cold,wearing heavy boots, jeans, sweat pants, fleece vests,sweat shirts, hats and gloves and life jackets. We’d learned from experience we didn’t have to lift

the granite blocks all the way to the surface before wecould get under way with the barge. As soon as we hadthe mooring chain attached to the winch we’d take astrain and begin lifting the two-thousand-poundchunk of granite off the river bottom. When the rockbroke free from the mud, we’d wave at the guy steer-ing to head for shore. As we got closer to the marina,we’d lift the stone higher and higher, and by the timewe were up against the seawall, we could reverse thewinch and lower the stone down into the mud. We had the whole drill down pat, and as I said, we

had made these trips hundreds of times before. Ithink this was our third trip out onto the river to pickup one of the moorings. We fastened the mooringchain to the winch and Eric pulled the hydraulic lever.The winch turned slowly and steadily taking up thestrain and winding up the slack mooring chain. Thechain tightened and began lifting the stone causingthe mooring barge to sink deeper into the water. Thebarge jerked upward as it took the load and the buoy-ancy pulled the rock up off the bottom. We lifted the stone a few more feet, then waved at

Gary to head for shore. Eric and I hunkered down onthe deck, scrunching our heads inside our jackets try-ing to escape the brisk November wind. The white-caps slopped up over the deck as we motored acrossthe current. Twenty feet down in the water, a twothousand pound block of granite hung beneath thebarge. All we were thinking about was how soon wecould dump that rock on the shore, hurry back to getthe last two, and call it a day. But that didn’t happen.The block of granite hanging beneath us bumped

the bottom of the river and jerked the barge to a vio-lent and sudden stop. I was crouching on the bow, andwhen the barge fetched up, I just kept on moving. Themomentum threw me overboard in an instant. I could-n’t believe it. In my mind I somehow thought this

In my mind I somehow thoughtthis couldn’t be happening, but therush of cold water over my faceconvinced me.

couldn’t be happening, but the rush of cold water overmy face convinced me. Oh my God! I was underwaterand tumbling and splashing and instinctively gropingtoward the surface. That life jacket saved me. The flotation popped me

to the surface, and flipped me on my back. Gary andEric were dumbfounded. “Throw him a line,” Garyyelled, but it was too late. Even in that brief moment,the river current and the tide had swept me yardsaway from the barge. I automatically yelled, “Help!Help!” but there was nothing they could do. The bargewas firmly attached to that stubborn block of granitestuck on the bottom of the Saco River. That’s whenGary yelled “Swim, swim for it.” “Damned straight,” I thought, as I swung my wet

arms up and over my head. We’d worked on the riverfor years and knew all about the currents and thetides. I figured if I could propel myself upstream at aslight angle the current would set me over against theriver bank and I might avoid being swept around thebend and out into the Atlantic ocean – pleasantthought. I swam like a man possessed. No, I wasn’tgoing to die today I kept telling myself; thanks to thatlife jacket. But it was a long slog. My heavy clothes were waterlogged, and my arms

weighed tons. I couldn’t lift them up out of the waterany longer, so I just fanned them back and forth un-derwater, backstroking and cupping my hands to get

the best effect. Gosh, it was cold, My legs grew numbquickly, but my plan worked. I probably swam threetimes as far as the distance to shore, but the currentset me in against a ledge where I bobbed in the water. I grabbed a scrub bush just within reach, but the

branch broke and I fell back into the river. Now I pan-icked just a little. To be so close to dry land and not beable to get ashore was enormously frustrating. Theysay as you get colder your judgment and reflexes de-teriorate. I resigned myself to floating in the frigidwater a little longer and let the current carry me an-other 20 yards down river. I snagged a piece of ledge that had fallen away from

the shore. I grabbed that rough rock and held on fordear life. I pulled myself up and over and on wobblylegs stood up on the rock. I’d made it. I wasn’t dead,but the struggle was only half over. All the time I wasswimming and floundering around, Gary and Eric hadreversed the winch and finally detached themselvesfrom the mooring. They raced to the shore, and I justcrumpled aboard the barge. “Take me home,” was all Icould say. I was lucky. Our house is just a hundred yards up

the hill from the river. I shuffled up the driveway andhurried into the garage, where I peeled off all my wetclothing and then walked down the hallway right intoa hot shower. We decided afterward I had probably notgotten as cold as I might have because of the fleece and

the wool shirt I was wearing. The foam inside the lifejacket provided some insulation against the wind. If we’d been offshore pulling traps, or on a remote

river someplace back in the boonies, survival mightnot have been so certain. When someone’s life isthreatened by hypothermia, it’s vital to get them intodry clothes as soon as possible and to warm them upanyway you can. Maybe on a lobsterboat you’d duckinside the cabin and get heat from the engine. Back inthe woods you could start a fire or climb inside a sleep-ing bag. They told us in guide’s training you could stuffanother person inside the bag with the victim to pro-vide the needed warmth. Of course, if the victim didn’tcome around you’d seek medical help just as soon aspossible.Days later, we talked about how quickly everything

had happened. I guess that’s one lesson. Not to over-dramatize the situation, but when someone falls intothe water it’s always dangerous. The tragic deaths thatseem to occur each summer on the rivers and lakesprove that. We also learned how unprepared we wereto deal with an accident. We’d never had anything likethat happen in all the years we’d been doing the work,so we were complacent. We weren’t carrying a life ringor reach pole or line to throw. But more then that, we’d never even thought about

what we’d do if someone did fall overboard. We’d nevertalked about it, and that was a mistake because we

had not prepared our imaginations for how to dealwith such an emergency. Just talking somethingthrough like that when you’re afloat or beginning atrip on the water could make a crucial difference inhow you respond. The life jackets were something wedid right. Every year the game wardens, the Department of

Marine Resources, the Coast Guard and the CoastGuard Auxiliary all encourage boaters to wear theirlife jackets. For an awful lot of people those warningsgo unheeded. During the summer we see people inkayaks and canoes and dinghies float past the marinaand no one will be wearing a life jacket. Like a lot ofsafety issues, unless you’ve been hurt or caught in abad situation, you don’t think about these things. Wetend to think accidents only happen to other people.But take it from me. It all happened so fast there wasno time to think or prepare.If it weren’t for that life jacket someone else might

be writing this story. And to think it was such a simplething – just to put on your life jacket when you go onthe water. It will save your life. Believe me.

There are times when the wind is as cold as deathitself, and the summer warmth as elusive as anhonest politician. The fogs are often so thick you

cannot see the bow, and the moisture condenses on therigging and falls on you like your own private weathersystem. The wind speed and direction can vary enoughto make you curse your love of sailing. The currentsand tides are complicated enough to require thick tidetables to decipher them. Tidal ranges of 10 to 15 feetare the norm. Once you are north of Boston, the bottom is strewn

with rocks and ledges and a soft grounding is unlikely.The ledges in Maine have ominous names for a goodreason. The days can be short and the nights cool. Sail-ing in Maine can be difficult, challenging, sometimesuncomfortable, and even perilous, but the rewards areextraordinary. It is unlike sailing in any other place.After a sailor has seen the astonishing beauty of

Somes Sound fjord, with the spectacular, vertical gran-ite cliffs plunging majestically into the sea, all thestresses of life are melted away, and replaced by un-forgettable memories that may be unique to Maine wa-ters. The late-afternoon, autumn sun will dance across

the Penobscot Bay water like 10 million diamonds. Thecries of the gulls and screeching of the ospreys is a con-stant background symphony to the stunning visuals.The distant rumble of a lobster boat and the lobster-man’s friendly wave remind you that people have beenmaking a living in these plentiful waters for centuries. There’s a rainbow of colors in a harbor densely

packed with lobster pots, like gaily painted Christmasornaments scattered about the water by some Mainemadman. Navigating through the lobster pots is trulya “sailor’s dilemma” at times. On a clear Septemberday, the visibility is often 15 to 20 miles. The striperswill chase the bait right out of the water on a still, greyafternoon. They break the mirror reflection, and sendout ripples like silver circles of life. The dark greens of the spruce and fir trees reach out

to touch both the cobalt blue skiesand indigo water. A breachinghumpback whale off in the distanceputs all your thoughts in perspec-tive. The splendor and diversity ofthe never-ending sunsets can takeyour breath away, and hypnotizeyou to the point where no boatchores get accomplished until longafter the very last hint of blazingamber sky has faded to charcoal,and reality reluctantly returns. You will never forget the cool,

brisk mornings when you coura-geously surface from under thetoasty covers, shrug off the cobwebmists of sleep, and stumble to thedew-covered deck with a coffee mugsteaming in your hand, to watch abald eagle fishing nearby. Wisps ofsea smoke are rising off the cool wa-ters. In the overwhelming quiet, youcan occasionally hear a harbor seal breathing near theboat. The shadows are lengthening and the days aregetting shorter. Your first sharp breath of cool morningair is a reminder that the season is coming to a close.This is, after all, Maine.

NewsNOAA, France team to save whalesNOAA and France’s Protected Areas

Agency have signed a “sister-sanctuary”agreement to support the protection ofthe beloved and endangered humpbackwhales that migrate annually more than3,000 miles between NOAA’s 842-square-mile Stellwagen Bank NationalMarine Sanctuary off the Massachusettscoast and Agoa Marine Mammal Sanc-tuary in the Caribbean’s French An-tilles. The agreement will help improve

humpback whale recovery in the NorthAtlantic by enhancing management co-ordination efforts between the two sanc-tuaries. This effort will help improveknowledge about humpbacks in the At-lantic and the threats they face fromboth natural and man-made changes to their environ-ment. Both sanctuaries provide critical support for thesame population of whales, which spend spring andsummer in the rich feeding grounds of StellwagenBank before heading south to the warmer waters ofthe Caribbean Sea in late fall to mate and give birthto their young. As sister sanctuaries, the two sites will explore new

avenues for collaborative education, scientific andmanagement efforts, including joint-research andmonitoring programs. NOAA anticipates the relation-ship will be crucial to the long-term conservation ofthe North Atlantic humpback whale population aswell as to the development of future cooperative agree-ments with other countries. Another agreement, signed in July between Stellwa-

gen Bank and the government of Bermuda, alsostrives to help protect the species along its migrationroute from the Gulf of Maine to the Caribbean Seathrough cooperation on scientific and educational pro-grams. The agreement between NOAA and France, effective

immediately, contributes to the implementation of theUnited Nations Environment Programme’s MarineMammal Action Plan for the Caribbean region, whichrecognizes the importance of protecting critical hump-back whale habitats as part of a regional corridor.FMI: http://stellwagen.noaa.gov.

Rachael Miller and James Lyne sailed their leg-endary 60-foot cutter, American Promise, intoPortsmouth Harbor, N.H., in August, continuing theirquest to rid the oceans of debris. The Rozalia Project’svisit to Portsmouth was funded by a donation from Op-tima Bank, New Hampshire’s only locally owned com-mercial bank on the seacoast. American Promise, the late Dodge Morgan’s record-

breaking vessel, was at the Kittery Point Yacht Yardin Kittery, Maine, for a “Trash Bash” event, funded bythe BoatUS Foundation. The event allowed people totour American Promise and see Rozalia Project’strash-hunting underwater robot in action. The Rozalia

Project crew demonstrated how the ROVs (remotelyoperated vehicles) and sonar equipment worked whilesearching for and picking up trash from the sea floor. With the aid of the Blue Ocean Society, a society for

marine conservation located in Portsmouth, N.H.,American Promise surveyed the waters around theIsles of Shoals to locate and identify areas of accumu-lated derelict fishing gear. The work is being done forthe New Hampshire-based Marine Debris to EnergyProject, which is a NOAA-funded project to detect andremove marine debris along the coastline from south-ern Maine to northern Massachusetts.

Watch-standers at Coast Guard Southeastern New England, inWoods Hole, Mass., received a 911-transferred call from a19-year-old man aboard the boat, reporting that his grandfa-ther had gone overboard. A Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod MH-60 Jayhawk heli-

copter crew and a Coast Guard Station Wood’s Hole 41-footutility boat crew launched immediately. The Jayhawk crew lo-cated the man and deployed a rescue swimmer who safely re-covered him from the water at 3:16 p.m. The man waswearing his lifejacket. He was taken to Air Station Cape Cod,where he was treated by local EMS. Weather five- to eight-footseas and 25 to 30-knot winds were reported at the time ofthe rescue. FMI: www.coastguardnews.com

O.H. Perry campaign passes $4 millionWith more than $4 million now committed to Oliver Hazard

quest for the final $2.6 million. The 501(c)3, Newport-basedorganization this month has a $6.6 million goal to completethe SSV Oliver Hazard Perry, a 196-foot three-masted square-rigger to be used for experiential education that supports andpromotes sail training, marine-trade-workforce development,and marine conservation and environmental stewardship forstudents of all ages. Most recently, the Alletta Morris McBeanCharitable Trust awarded a grant for $200,000 to OHPRI. TheTrust provides grants to organizations focused on environmen-tal preservation that enhances the quality of life in Newport,R.I.OHPRI is well into Phase II of construction, which includes

government inspections, design work, and the beginning ofsteel and mechanical work. Seventy five percent of the shipwill have been completed before the ship returns to Newportwaters for Phase III. Phase IV has the SSV Oliver HazardPerry sailing as a working vessel, employing about 17 people,with an office, staff and crew. And an annual operationsbudget of $1.4 million. FMI: www.ohpri.org.

We gathered and gammed, raced and rendezvoused,cruised and congregated, journeyed and junketed,ranged and rambled, played and partied, and gambledand grounded. By both power and sail, we reveled inour New England coastline and the people and enter-prises that inhabit it, and we had optimal weatherwith which to immerse ourselves in our favorite sportand recreation along our beloved shores. Sure, we messed up on occasion, perhaps navigatingin less than inspirational fashion, knocking barnaclesoff our bottoms, but wondrous experiences far out-weighed the glitches.

Fundy Flotilla 2011 started offwell enough July 30 in NortheastHarbor, Maine, with a crew meet-ing, the distribution of gifts fromflotilla sponsors (Gritty McDuff ’s,A.G.A. Correa & Son, SailmakingSupport Systems and the Cana-dian Hydrographic Service), aswell as flotilla pennants and T-shirts from organizer Points EastMagazine. This was followed bydrinks outdoors and a buffet din-ner indoors at The Main SailRestaurant.And things went well on the first

leg to Cutler, where the ladies ofthe Methodist Church put on theirusual fine lobster supper for theflotilla crews. The cruise continuedrosy out to the island community ofGrand Manan, where, after clear-ing into Canada via Canpass,crews enjoyed a chartered bus tourof the island and then excellentdining at The Inn at Whale Cove.

But then, on the third day of thecruise, after a fitful night of fog,lightning and thunder, the route tothe next port of call, Saint John,was shrouded in fog and head-oninto the wind. The fact that thecurrent was in the flotilla’s favoronly served to make things worse,as the resulting current-against-wind made for square waves. Itwas not a comfortable start to theday. But nothing lasts forever: Thetide turns, the wind subsides, thefog dissipates.By the time I (traveling by ferry

from Grand Manan and then bycar from Blacks Harbour) caughtup with the flotilla boats in SaintJohn Harbour, they had all prettymuch forgotten the dreadful startto the day’s voyage. Instead, theywere chomping at the bit to be ledthrough the Reversing Falls andinto the St. John River, consideredby many to be the Holy Grail forNew England boaters.Leading the flotilla through the

Reversing Falls was Bob Harrity, a past commodore ofthe Royal Kennebecassis Yacht Club, which would hostthe flotilla for a couple of days. Once through the Fallsand into the calm and swimmable waters of the river,life took on a different complexion. It was all good …mostly.We had a pleasant couple of days at the RKYC to

rest and recuperate, plus a visit to the operations cen-ter of Fundy Traffic, which controls traffic separationin the Bay of Fundy and dictates ship movements inSaint John Harbour.We had a pleasant couple of days gunkholing on the

river, culminating in a stop at what must be the most

beautiful anchorage on the river, Douglas Harbour inGrand Lake, where the Fredericton Y.C. gave theflotilla use of the clubhouse for an impromptu potluckdinner.We had a pleasant few days at the Gagetown Ma-

rina, as far up the river as the flotilla would go, whichbecame home base for a dockside party on two of theflotilla’s larger powerboats. From the marina, flotil-lians took a chartered bus to the living history villagecalled Kings Landing, and an outdoor BBQ put on bythe marina restaurant. During the BBQ, the regionalMember of the Legislative Assembly, Ross Wetmore,presented a huge New Brunswick provincial flag to


flotillian John O’Keefe for having participated in everyFundy Flotilla since the program began in 1999.Then we went back downriver to the RKYC for an

overnight stay before heading out the next morning topass out of the river through the Reversing Falls, andthen onward to Campobello Island, where the flotillawas hosted by the Roosevelt-Campobello InternationalPark and was treated not just to tours of the park andthe Roosevelt cottage, but also to a memorable dinnerin one of the park’scottages overlookingthe magnificent an-chorage.Then the flotilla

cruised up Pas-samaquoddy Bay, pastthe Old Sow whirlpool,and onward to St. An-drews Harbour, wherethe most-famous andbest-loved wharfingerin the province of NewBrunswick, BB Cham-berlain, takes per-sonal care of each andevery arriving boat.Another chartered bus boarded everyone at the wharfand took them first for a look at the not-yet-completedHuntsman Aquarium, where staff had added, for theenjoyment of the flotillians, some super-friendly skatesto the large “touch tank.” And then it was onward to the cliffside summer

home of flotilla members John and Betty Mansfield,

where the St. Andrews Yacht Club (Commodore RogerMcNabb plus dozens of others) had prepared a gala re-ception of food and drink, a welcome by the mayor, akilt-clad bagpiper – all in a setting of trees, lawns andbushes overlooking the water. At that point, everyone had forgotten all about the

fog and the square waves ... oh, and had also forgottenabout the strong, adverse current as the boats strug-gled to get to the anchorage at the Roosevelt-Campo-

bello InternationalPark. The Flotillaended on Aug. 13.This was the 11th

Fundy Flotilla con-ducted by PointsEast magazine, andit was notable forthe lack of discordno matter what sortof adversity befellthe group in the wayof weather or cur-rents or having todouble up or tripleup on moorings oranchors. It was a

fine group of competent seafarers.Next summer’s Fundy Flotilla will cruise the South

Shore of Nova Scotia.Bernie Wideman, co-founder of Points East and itscurrent marketing director, is long-time director of theFundy Flotilla. He sails Gremlin out of Winthrop,Mass.

It certainly seemed as though every possible culturaland recreational event Maine had to offer was sched-uled for the Aug. 6 weekend. However, in Friendship,Maine, there was only one game in town: the annualChowder Cup race, which has been held since sometime in the 1930s and was resurrected in a serious way32 years ago.Thirty-three monohull boats competed in three divi-

sions: Class A: 28 feet and over, Class B: 18 to 28 feet,and Class C: under 18 feet. While the A and B classessail the same, eight-mile course, the C class course isshorter. As in any local race, the boats vary widely asto type and age (so do the skippers, come to think aboutit). Most hail from either Friendship or Round Pond,

and many friendly rivalries have sprung up, which arealways discussed in colorful detail at the post-racepotluck at the Martin Point Community House. Thisyear’s commemorative T-shirt was designed by Friend-ship artist Pam Cabañas and proved so popular that itsold out completely even before the dinner started.The overall winner was once again Gerry Merser in

his 39-foot Ericson, Kestrel. Gerry is 81 and has ownedKestrel since she was built in 1973. “It’s been a thirty-eight-year love affair,” he stated. Turtle, a 37-footBostrom sloop skippered by Doug Gleason, was 2nd inthe A class, beating George Baker’s 30-foot PearsonSummer Love by a scant three seconds. Despite hisloss, George felt the battle with Turtle had made this

Chowder Cup school of hard rocks for one boatFriendship, Maine

race the most fun of any he’s sailed. Doug’s brotherDave, emcee at the dinner and crew on Turtle, jokedabout Kestrel’s eight-minute edge over the finish: “Afterthe start, we never saw Kestrel again, but we did smelldiesel fuel….”Triumphant in the B class were two J/24s, who were

2nd and 3rd overall: Will Cunningham in Strega andChris Duda in C-Monkey. Both did exemplary spin-naker work and finished less than a minute apart. “Wewatched Strega’s transom get closer and closer, but un-fortunately not close enough before the finish,” Chrissaid ruefully. John Thompson came in third in TripleLindy (a Colgate 26), with a crew that had never sailedtogether before. “It was a beautiful day, great winds,and my crew really clicked,” he recalled.Close finishes were also the norm in the C class. Je-

remy Barnard sailed his 13-foot Phantom Moiphy to a25-second win over Rebe and Ken Moore in the Friend-

ship catboat Rattle Ya Dags. Third place winnerKathryn Armstrong, in another Friendship cat, Bar-bara C, was only a minute and five seconds slower. “Myboat needs flat water and does not like a port tack,” Je-remy said, but when she does encounter good wind andflat water “my boat is a screamer.” All three had gotten great starts, and Rebe and Ken

had been ahead for most of the course. Rebe admitted,however, taking too long to tack to the finish, enablingJeremy to squeak by.Ken Dunipace once again calculated the corrected

time winners of the A and B classes, which were PeterWakeman in his Vindo 34 North Star and Jesse andDiana Markham in the Rhodes 19 Dawn Treader. Theperson who had come from farthest away to participatewas Karolis Snieska from Lithuania, a crewmember onC-Monkey.Winners of the LBI can of chowder were Bill and

Eileen Shaughnessy, in their Rhodes 19 Windward,who accepted the award with exemplary grace. New-comers to sailing and racing, they had run aground be-fore the start of the race. After the nerve-janglingexperience of having been towed off the ledge, they stillcompleted the race the best they could. “We havelearned from the school of hard rocks,” Bill joked at thedinner. Upon accepting the can of chowder, he remarked that

“this award is certainly unusual, and we hope it will beunique.” The Shaughnesseys were roundly applaudedfor their good sportsmanship.And speaking of good sportsmanship, loyal partici-

pant Irv Lash donated a beautiful half-hull model of

the Friendship Sloop Wilbur Morse to the ChowderCup Association, constructed by him and his brother,boatbuilder Wesley Lash. The Association raffled offthe half-hull at the dinner, the proceeds destined forscholarships for Friendship high school students. Theraffle raised well over $400, and the lucky winner wasDoug Gleason, causing brother Dave to remark thatthe drawing had obviously been shamelessly rigged.Heartfelt thanks, as always, went to Judy and Bob

Zeitlin, devoted organizers of this event. Please join uson Aug. 4, 2012, for the next Chowder Cup race.Nina Scotts/v CaledonianFriendship, Maine & Amherst, Mass.

On a lovely evening in late July, a trim, blue yachtcame into Westport Harbour on Brier Island, NovaScotia. The couple aboard secured Veleda IV to a fish-ing boat, one of four between their yacht and the float-ing dock. Aubrey andJudy Millard hadsailed earlier in theday from Yarmouth,N.S. Now, secure forthe night, they hadtime to relax and lookaround the village. I met Aubrey as he

was coming down theramp on his way backto his boat. Judyjoined us soon after.Aubrey said theylived aboard theirboat and had beensailing since depart-ing Toronto in July1998. By July, theyhad sailed 47,000miles. I sensed agrand story and whenJudy said they would-n’t be leaving portuntil noon the nextday, I arranged to meet them on their yacht the nextmorning.Veleda IV is an Ontario 32 with 11½ -foot beam and

drawing 4½ feet. “The builder managed to fit a 36-footinterior in a 32-foot boat,” Aubrey said. They have aYanmar 3YM, 30-horse diesel and carry 60 gallons offresh water. They also have a watermaker and a hardbimini that serves as a rain catcher.

Aubrey, 73, is a retired high-school history teacher,and Judy, 59, is a retired dentist. Judy said she hasbeen sailing since she was 12, “but I wanted to sailsince I was five.” She explains that her late father,

Henry Shykoff, usedto read books byArthur Ransome toher. She brings outone of his books,“Swallows and Ama-zons,” which she is re-reading now. Aubreylearned his sailingskills while serving inthe Canadian Navy.They have defi-

nitely needed all thesailing skills theycould muster on someof their journeys.Judy said theystarted their journeyin a nontraditionalway by sailing aroundinto Lake Superior,then following theTennessee Tom-Big-bee Waterway to Mo-bile, Alabama.

Their first trip across the Atlantic took 44 days, dur-ing which Judy was disabled due to seasickness. “I hadnot been able to get the scopolamine patches, whichseem to be the only thing that works for me to preventseasickness,” she explained.Once across the Atlantic, their real touring began.

Over the years, they visited such out-of-the-way placesas Crimea, Bulgaria, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia

The remaining vessels continued east, running intofog at the entrance to Merchants Row. Although the fogdidn’t last long, it was again encountered as the flotillaapproached Burnt Coat Harbor at Swans Island. The fogat Burnt Coat was so dense “that we had to almost hit aboat before we could see it in the mooring field,” accord-ing to Steve Pierce, the cruise director. The plan was to anchor, but there wasn’t enough visi-

bility to see if there was swing room to safely anchor. Al-tair (Julie and Rick Palm) and Persephone (Toni andGerritt Vander Veer), already in the harbor, providedguidance for safe anchoring. Also checking in via VHFradio were Sea Jab (Al Hodsdon) – on the other side ofSwan’s Island at Buckle Harbor – Snowy Owl (Jody andDon Abbott) and Selkie (Terry and Bill Burrows) atCranberry Islands. Cocktails were aboard Altair, a Saga48.Sunday was wet and windy, and the five boats stayed

in the harbor. As no one planned to depart, there wasplenty of time to change to dry clothes, eat a hot lunchof soup and grilled-cheese sandwiches, and play cardsall afternoon. Snowy Owl braved the weather and cameover to join the others in Burnt Coat Harbor. The Roque Island destination was changed on Mon-

day, and the flotilla headed for Southwest Harbor. Perse-phone had engine-cooling problems and stayed behindin Burnt Coat Harbor along with Altair, who volun-teered to give them a hand in fixing their problem. Perse-phone and Altair got under way later. Persephone’sengine problems persisted, and she eventually receiveda tow from Altair into Southwest Harbor. Osprey (Phil),Selkie and Summer Salt (Bob Spencer with guest EdNeisingh) joined the others at Southwest Harbor. Tuesday was cool and clear with a wind from the

north-northeast. Some sailed to Pretty Marsh while oth-ers, with less patience for the very light winds near BassHead, motored. Persephone solved her engine problems

and joined eight other boats in Pretty Marsh: Selkie, Al-tair, Osprey, Sea Monkey, Spirits, Summer Salt, SnowyOwl, and Intuito. At cocktail hour, a large crowd assem-bled on Spirits. During the wee hours, the wind became very strong

and gusty, causing Intuito to drag her anchor. The crewof Snowy Owl braved the pouring rain in their dinghyand gave Intuito a hand. Wednesday morning, the groupmade the short journey from Pretty Marsh to Blue Hill,arriving at the Kollegewidgwok Yacht Club early enoughto walk to town and explore. The crew of Spirits checkedout the Blue Hill Library and encourages others to dis-cover this beautiful resource. Selkie’s took their sick dogto the vet.Thursday was cloudy with a good breeze, right on the

nose. No problem: The boats tacked out of the bay alongthe west side of Long Island for a wonderful day of sail-ing. Boats ending up in Buckle Harbor included Altair,Sea Monkey, Spirits, Summer Salt, Intuito and Perse-phone. Evening cocktails were enjoyed on the Buckle Is-land granite.On Friday, boats split up to go to various destinations.

Some headed for Eggemoggin Reach, Altair set sail forSeal Bay at Vinalhaven, while Summer Salt, Spirits andSea Monkey were bound for Laundry Cove at Isle AuHaut. At Laundry Cove, the crews went ashore to seethe sights: the tiny post office, the general store and thebeautiful church. Later, the crew of Spirits secured lob-sters from a nearby lobster boat and had a great cockpitdinner. Saturday dawned as a splendid day with bright blue

skies and enough wind to enjoy a wonderful sail fromthe Fox Island Thoroughfare to Rockland, completingthe loop. Paul Whites/y BarnDoorRockland, Maine


Every summer is different, but themes do recur,In our sailing experience in Maine.From the coolness of spring to fall’s post-summer warmthIt’s a journey each year, quite the same.

Early spring finds us dreaming and hoping againThat the weather this year will be fair,Then the toiling, uncoiling, and painting ensues,For our Snow Goose, we have to prepare.

As the temps become warm from Mid-March into May,So our goals turn from prep to provisions. When the launch does approach, our emotions are high,As our upcoming joy we envision.

And at last, she’s afloat, on her mooring does bob, And the engine’s been found to be true.There’s no slack in the lines, nothing rattles aloft, And she’s stocked to the hilt for the crew.

Thus, the summer begins; we embark on our cruise,To find ports near and far, new and known.It will take a few days for our sea legs to work, For our Snow Goose to feel like she’s home.

Over time, we encounter conditions assorted, Of weather, some fowl and some fair;And we feel some frustration and also success,As things break, and we work at repair.

As a confident crew, feeling energy high, We spend day after day in fresh air.We venture to harbors for glad rendezvous,And to coves that are quiet and rare.

As the summer advances, so too we evolve,In our daily approach to the sea.We’ve accomplished our goals, both with people and ports, And our hearts, unencumbered, are free.

For we no longer need to be planful each day,And we no longer need to prepare.Our new focus is not on tomorrow, we’ve learned,But to sail through today with a flair.

Our Sailing Season

I write this from the sublime and reassur-ing comfort of the Witness Protection Pro-gram, inspired by the dead-on comments ofMarilyn Hanft’s piece on Fog (“Of wind,weather and the Andrea Doria”) in the Juneissue. My ol’ buddy – we’ll call him Hoss – had

grown up in the years well before fancy nav-igational electronics. So when he finally, withgreat good joy but minor hoopla, decided tomove up from his 16-foot outboard to a hand-some 30-foot, well-used lobsterboat, he knewfor a fact that he didn’t want any of thosenewfangled gadgets like GPS. He wanted toget his instincts back, back to his early dayswhen compass, dead-reckoning, eyes andears were sufficient to do the job. Well, yes,okay, he’d accept the radar that came withthe boat, and learn how to use it, but he con-sidered it a frill. Hoss was happy as a pig in ... well, you

know. And eventually came the day when hewould make his first fogbound run into rela-tively foreign territory, heading off to watchthe lobsterboat races in Stonington, Maine,wife and kiddies aboard. Yeah, it was thick,so what the hey, he thinks, let’s learn how touse this radar thingy. Now all you salty dogs who’ve approached

the Deer Island Thorofare from either direc-tion know there are more than a few hazardsalong the way. Why, I remember well, when Iwas in the Coast Guard, we pulled a lobster-boat off a slow-sloping granite ledge on oneof those beautiful little islands at the easternend of the Thorofare, where the boat hadlanded at extra-high water on a full-coursetide. This after somehow navigating un-manned out of Mount Desert’s Bass Harbor,across outer Blue Hill Bay, through CascoPassage off Swan’s Island, and into andacross Jericho Bay unharmed. So it can bedone. If no one’s looking. And no one’saboard.Hoss’ fogbound day off to the races meant

crossing the strong currents of East Penobscot Bay. Heand the family motored on out the Fox Islands Thoro-fare without any trouble and set a course across thebay for Mark Island light, which he reassuringlyheard, then saw, through the fog. His confidence built.He’d also been able to identify it on the radar. Nowcame the tricky part, wriggling through the ledges andon into Stonington. No wind to speak of, calm seas,piece a cake. Leaving Mark Island to starboard, he picked up a

prominent headland on the radar screen at about theright compass heading. Admittedly, he hadn’t checkedthe accuracy of his compass, nor practiced radar tech-nique with clear visibility, but it all made sense; it allfit together. The headland would be Moose Island atthe entrance of the Deer Island Thorofare. He pressedon, with, yes, caution and without coffee so as to keep

a level head. But fog is rarely accommodating. The long and the

short of it is that Hoss and his beloved family easedby, and around, Crotch Island to port, not starboard.Past or over Splinterbottom Ledge and The Gutbuster.(Well, yeah, I’m making those up.) But Crotch, notMoose, had been the headland on the radar. Ol’ Hossgradually figured it out. And he was too much the be-ginner to realize that he could have turned on his fath-ometer gizmo to see what evils lay beneath him, andperhaps to help confirm his course choice. But thatmight have freaked him out entirely, depriving him ofrelatively calm ignorance. And after all that, the races were a blast. As usual. Herb Parsonsm/v BrimstoneNorth Haven, Maine

On July 22 Tartan Owners Northeast (TONE) gath-ered at Kingman Yacht Center in Red Brook Harbor,in Cataumet on Cape Cod, for their biennial ren-dezvous. Forty-plus boats from all over the East Coast

gathered in Red Brook Harbor for three days of stim-ulating conversation, education, food and drink. The featured speaker on Friday evening was Chris

sel Almeisan that was on her way to Bermuda in 2005,encountering a horrendous storm in the Gulf Stream.Chris held the Tartan sailors spellbound with his de-scription of how he and three other crewmembers sur-vived the sinking. Saturday evening Gary Jobson was the keynote

speaker. Gary with his usual entertaining talk,brought the folks from TONE up to date with the sail-ing world today with his collection of videos and excel-lently prepared presentation.Saturday, we were given seminars by North Sails, a

Safety at Sea demonstration by Ron Trossbach washeld dockside, and a galley cooking demonstration wasprovided by TONEs own Skip King. Skip demon-strated how to clean out the icebox and make the con-tents into a delicious gourmet meal – mmmm good.Sunday morning, after a brief TONE general meet-

ing, most of the tartan sailors left for a week of sailingto Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard and then to Nan-tucket for a great gathering at slip 14 at the marina.During the two weeks of the cruise, the Tartan gangencountered a total of 15 minutes of rain, loads ofsmooth seas, and lovely, fair winds. There are too may people to thank, and I do not want

to miss anyone, but John Allen, our chairperson, pro-duced the glue that held us all together for anothergreat event. Our sponsors included Tartan, NorthSails, Mastlight.com, Defender, Dax One Touch winch

had circumnavigated the world. Saturday featured a potluck

On Aug. 20, as the sun was barely peaking out frombehind the horizon, the Ker 11.3 Oakcliff Racing,with its doublehanded crew of Claudia Delahoy andJeffrey MacFarlane, of Oyster Bay, N.Y., began its en-trance back into Newport Harbor after becoming thefirst boat to cross the finish line in the 2011 IdaLewis Distance Race (ILDR). Delahoy and MacFar-lane, who had never sailed together before, masteredthe variable wind conditions on the 104 nm BuzzardsTower course. They made it back to Newport by 5:44 a.m. after

starting on Friday off Forth Adams at 1:05 p.m., withthe rest of the 35-boat fleet. “We didn’t get any sleepthe whole time,” said Delahoy, explaining that thewinds were much more consistent than originally

forecast, especially for those who took the southernroute around Block Island rather than the northernroute, which had lighter breeze. “We kept planningthat if the wind died off we could take some breaks,but it didn’t, and so we didn’t stop pushing. I thinkthat is what got us the lead in the end.” The strategy worked, and Oakcliff Racing took

home first in the PHRF Doublehanded Class, correct-ing out an hour ahead of Jason Richter’s (Mt. Sinai,N.Y.) J/35 Paladin. Ron O’Hanley’s Cookson 50 Privateer, out of New-

port, R.I., finished 1st on corrected time in the eight-boat IRC Class, which sailed the 150-mile BlockIsland Course (150 nm) in just over 19 hours, earning

Thismarked the first time in over seventy-five years inwhich yachts representing the renowned New York 30,40 and 50 classes, designed a century ago for the NewYork Yacht Club, were assembled. The Castine eventkicked off three days of classic boat racing culminatingin the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta. Spartan took hon-ors in all three of these races.In the Spirit of Tradition class, the newly launched

75’ sloop Isobel took honors. Isobel, skippered byRichard Schotte, beat Pleione, a Taylor 8 Meter sailedby Bruce Dyson, by more than 30 minutes.

Yet another perfect MS Re-gatta day on the water. Thefact that the weather continuesto cooperate every year mustbe proof that the organizersand participants are doingsomething right. There was atouch of fog in the harbor whenthe fleet was ready to start, butit lifted only slightly behindschedule. It never gets tiresome watch-

ing so many sailboats doing thepre-race sailboat dance, andthen suddenly everyone is linedup and taking off. Eight fleetsstarted these races in late Au-gust from a start line set byMaine Sailing Adventures’ very impressive windjam-mer Frances. The wind direction combined with thetides made for some fast and challenging racing. Onceall the competitors were done, all before 4:30, everyoneheaded to Handy Boat Services in Falmouth for someexcellent food, great music by Paul Simisky’s RedRight Returning, and awards donated by AGA Correa

and Son. A highlight of the 30th an-

nual MS Regatta was the ded-ication of a new perpetualtrophy by Arthur (Kitt) Wat-son of Too Elusive. The MerleHallett Fundraising Trophywill be given annually to theboat represented by the topfundraiser in the MS Regatta.This year the award was pre-sented to White Hawk, sailedby Tim Tolford and the Tolford& Aceto Families team. Using the MS Society online

fundraising techniques theywere able to raise over $4,300.Other teams that really

stretched themselves are the Portland Rotary Club,Team Southern Cross and the Sysco Employees. Thesefour teams together raised nearly $8,500. Mark yourcalendars now for Aug. 17, 18 and 19, 2012. The chal-lenge is on for next year. FMI and complete results:www.gmora.org.

were treated to a Sunday morning pan-cake breakfast and awards ceremony atPortland Yacht Club. Pete Price andcrew accepted their four awards, includ-ing the prestigious Walter S. HammonsTrophy. Pete told his crew after the race:“Wanting to win seldom leads to win-ning; sailing well often leads to winning.. . . Sailboat racing has an only-one-winner attitudethat discounts the lessons that we should be payingattention to every day. With the need for instant grat-ification in today’s society few are willing to do the

work it takes to be consistently successful because theidea of success is too narrow.” For the complete listingof results and trophy winners, visit www.gmora.org.

Stephen Dupuis 55, Pembroke, N.H. Passionate sailor Steve Dupuis died Aug. 12, sur-

rounded by his family, at Hospice House in Concord,N.H. He truly loved to sail his sailboats, the latest ofwhich, the Cape Dory 22 Rhumb Line, he raced at theSunday races with his good friends at the MassabesicYacht Club with his first mate Jo-Ann. Steve introduced his friends and family to the joys

of sailing along the New England coast as well as onthe inland lakes. His love of sailing prompted him toconceive the first annual Jolly Roger Challenge, around-the-lake friendly competition on Lake Mass-abesic. He was a self-taught computer animator and video-

grapher and started his own web company, KineticImage Productions. His family could always count onhis ability to build and repair almost anything. Stevehad a genuine interest in others, and his friendly andopen heart endeared him to all who had the pleasureto know him. Memorial contributions may be made to: The

Stephen Dupuis Scholarship Fund, c/o TD Bank, P. O.Box 200, Suncook, NH 03275 or the Concord RegionalVNA, 30 Pillsbury St, Concord, NH 03301.

Gib’s Odyssey: A Tale of Faith and Hope onthe Intracoastal WaterwayBy Walter G. Bradley, Lyons Press, 2011, 213 pp., $22.95.

The book jacket describes Gib Peters as “an extraordi-nary man,” yet in most ways he is as normal as the restof us. He goes to work, he loves his family, he spends timewith his friends, and he is a passionate boater. He loveshis life on a Florida canal.But, in February 2003, Peters became a little less nor-

mal when he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease,or ALS, an uncompromising killer that attacks the nerv-ous system of about 10,000 patients a year in the U.S.From the time of diagnosis to inevitable death from thedisease, the average patient suffers two years of motor-skill failure as the disease moves methodically throughthe body, starting with the tongue and eventually immo-bilizing every muscle in the body. Through it all, the mindremains sharp and intact.So, on the day he received the news from his doctor, Pe-

ters knew he had anywhere from a few months to a cou-ple of years to live – more only if he was very, very lucky.It was about this time that Peters became extraordinary:He would spend his final months on a long sea voyagethat turned into a race against ALS as it dismantled hisnervous system.His original plan was to fulfill a dream to do a modi-

fied, 7,500-mile version of the Great Loop circumnaviga-tion of the East Coast aboard his 29-foot Wellcraft powercruiser, Ka Ching. As the reality of his situation settledin, that cruise was condensed to a round trip from KeyWest to New York City, still a major undertaking, evenfor a healthy sailor.Oh, and he would do it alone.Much of this touching and incredible story is told in

Peters’ own words, through long, detailed and tenderemails sent along the way from his laptop to friends andfamily. The emails are connected with text by the author,Walter G. Bradley, who was Peters’ neurologist andfriend.The book jacket also describes the story as “uplifting

and sometimes hilarious,” though I think most readerswould go with profoundly sad and terrifying. Neverthe-less, it is inspirational. As his body deteriorates, Petersmust improvise if he is to continue skippering his ownboat. His resourcefulness, courage and determination areremarkable. Never again will I feel sorry for myself whenI have to clean a Racor filter while at sea.And that’s just the half of it.

Gone to the Sea: An AnthologyBy Herb McCormick, Paradise Cay Publications, 2011; 314pp., $16.95.

As a newspaperman, it never made sense to me thatthe “New York Times” had a yachting columnist. Whatabout polo? Or cricket? As a sailor, though, I wished itwould never end. I loved it. During the time that HerbMcCormick wrote the column, the back pages of thesports section was always my first stop in the “SundayTimes.” The editors did eventually pull the plug, but it was

a great run. Fortunately, this was only a short chapterin the career of a great and prolific writer of boatingstories. Most boaters probably know McCormick betterfrom his very competent editorship of “Cruising World”magazine, where most of the stories in this anthologyfirst appeared.Others originated in “Sailing World,” the “Times,”

and a couple of regional magazines. The 28 entries inthe anthology celebrate some of yachting’s finest char-acters, with McCormick’s funny, insightful profiles.Most of them I had read before, but it was fun to be-come reacquainted with personal hero Jimmy Cornelland to revisit the mysterious and still largely untoldstory of Ray Leonard, captain of the sailboat Satori,which makes a cameo appearance in “The PerfectStorm.”McCormick has an easy, genuine style, whether he

is writing about Faces, Places, or Races, the sectionsinto which his columns are divided in this anthology.We do a delivery with cruising icon Don Street and

his son; thread “the dark, narrow cut leading intoPuerto Mosquito. The name alone made me itch;” andrevisit the tragic 1998 Sydney-Hobart Race: “There, hewas treated to the sight of more terrible mischief. Sus-pended in space, their feet dangling some two feetabove the deck, were Winning and another crewman,John Dean.”In the end, there is only one column from the

“Times,” written shortly after the attack on the TwinTowers as solo sailor Rich Wilson prepared to leaveNew York Harbor on a voyage to Australia, “swappingthe unfathomable shoreside storms for the less com-plicated ones of the open seas.”This is a book you will revisit again and again for its

warmth, its honesty, its humor, and its enthusiasticembrace of the life we all love so much.Sandy Marsters, co-founder of Points East along withBernie Wideman, is the magazine’s book reviewer.

Courage, honesty burst from these two volumes

e Sailing Yachts, in Marblehead, Mass.,introduced its new e33 squared editionperformance daysailer at the Newport In-ternational Boatshow in mid-September.This next generation e33 is the culmina-tion of five years of innovations workingwith e33 owners, designer Persak &Wurmfeld, and America’s Cup winningsailmaker Robbie Doyle. From keel design, to sail-handling ad-

vancements, to having Lyman-MorseBoatbuilding, in Thomaston, Maine, builtthe boats, the company believes that thee33 has evolved significantly. For one ex-ample, listen to Doyle: “We’ve introduceda game-changing batten system on thee33’s square-top mainsail that automati-cally optimizes sail shape at all windspeeds. This delivers performance youhave to see to believe in both light andheavy air.” e Sailing Yachts has been touting the

e33’s performance, ease of handling andcomfort, and these characteristics, theysay, have remained unchanged since 2006.Since then, e Sailing Yachts says, new fea-tures have been added that impact theboat’s performance and handling ease.After many years of racing, founders Rob-bie Doyle and Jeremy Wurmfeld were bothinspired to bring a new kind of sailing ex-perience to market with boats that do notcompromise performance for comfort andvalue, with boats that are sold factory-di-rect.

Outside gear editor Sam Moulton said, “Thisyear’s inReach ups the ante by letting you send and receivetext messages from pretty much anywhere in the world.” Gear Junkie editor-in-chief Stephen Regenold described the

inReach as “a small unit that will send and receive text mes-

Going great lengths for little cost

FETCHING ALONG/David Buckman

David Buckman photo

It is the bane of the coaster that, after all the chal-lenges of wind, fog and seas, upon arriving at one’sdestination the view is often limited to what can

be seen alongshore or within walking range, while awealth of interesting sights and insights a few milesdistant go unseen.For years the crews of the Leight addressed this lack

of land-based mobility by thumbing rides, hiring a taxior donning hiking boots, all of which have somethingto be said for them, afflicted as they were by variousinconveniences. A bicycle was the thing. A folding bike, stainless

steel, 27 speeds – $700 please – which was $650 morethan I wanted to spend. Though yard sales are nearthe top of my list of events to avoid, I went to one andfor $25 rode away with an old, but perfectly servicea-ble, 12-speed Peugeot equipped with quick-releaselevers that allow the wheels to be removed so it couldfit in the V-berth.It made me look at charts differently. Sailing into the

Mud Hole on Maine’s Great Wass Island, I saw that aroad passed close by the head of the anchorage. Assem-bling the bike in the cockpit took but a few minutes,and with it slung across the stern quarters of thedinghy, I landed in a tiny alcove, bushwhacked out tothe road, and was off to see the wizard.Along a narrow country lane that rose and fell like

swells, I scurried, the wind in my face and a headyfeeling of freedom in the air. Coasting down gentlegrades, the bike vibrated with the thrum of 25 knots

velocity as I sped along, laying into the corners, shift-ing down and climbing the next grade. Commandingseascapes flashed by. I felt possessed of an invigoratingsense of power and grace as the pedals flashed, and arush of scents gave the day a decidedly aural flavor.And there was the seeing of it. I stopped at the

slightest provocation – to take a photo, pick a few rasp-berries – and nip into the Bayview Takeout on nearbyBeals Island, where I sat down to a heaping plate offried clams. Folks ate in their pick-up trucks, askedwhere I was from, and conversations were overheard.Pressing on, the nature of the place was plain to see.Knots of tidy houses, trailers, big cars, satellite dishes,ATVs and pockets of poverty. Up and over the Bealsbridge I went, and coasted into Jonesport, where Ibought some wine, because I could. People waved. Iwaved, talked to locals, and toured about dramaticplaces I’d never seen before. Later, the bike was the price of admission to the sce-

nic carriage roads of Mount Desert Island, and delight-ful tours of North Haven other islands. Bent oncovering ground I could make 30 miles in two hours,get to a grocery store in a few minutes, and go to greatlengths for next to nothing. With everything going to hell in a hand basket, DavidBuckman’s book, “Bucking the Tide,” is an escape fromthe real world. It’s about discovering the New Englandcoast in a $400 yacht. If you must have one, go towww.eastworkspublications.com. It’ll help keep Davidout of the workforce and stimulate the economy.

South: Oct. striper fishing could be fast and furiousBy Elisa JackmanFor Points East

Tropical storm Irene quickly ended the summer formost Rhode Islanders with large seas, lots of wind, andsuper high and dirty tides. The fishing scene has re-grouped and is providing some of the best striped bassfishing all year. Block Island’s North Rip and the Southwest Ledge are

striper hot spots. Peter Vican and Donald Smith released88 stripers in one night on live eels, fishing just off of

Block’s east side. Night and early morning are best toavoid the bluefish.

Blackfish fishing will improve daily in NarragansettBay in spots such as River Ledge, Brenton Reef andWashington Ledge. Keeping a fresh green-crab bait whilefishing will help improve landings, along with a chumpot. For the competitive angler, Snug Harbor Marinahosts the White Chinner Challenge Tautog Tournament:Oct. 15 to Dec. 3, $20 per angler; call 401-783-7766 formore info.

Great Summer of Fishing!

Green bonito have been mixed in on the SouthwestLedge, caught mostly on the troll; possibly a chunk bitecould occur in the Mud Hole. Check often with localtackle shops to get the latest reports. False albacoreare spotty, but, when you find them, they are a greatchallenge on light tackle with Deadly Dicks or FastracRebels.The scup and seabass fishing will continue through

the month at the Hooter Buoy, Pointt Judith, and rocky-bottom areas along the south shore for the early part ofOctober. Toward the end of the month, East Grounds offBlock Island is the best vantage point for seabass as thefish move offshore. Anglers can try Cox’s Ledge as watertemperatures decrease for cod and seabass. The pastseveral years, cod fishing has been good jigging and with

clams in such areas as the Mountains and the southeastand southwest corners of Cox’s Ledge.Cooler water temperatures could improve the school

bluefin tuna fishery, along with shark fishing in areassuch as the Mud Hole, Butterfish Hole and the Gully.Mid-September, Capt Bill Brown and crew aboard theBillfish landed a 388-pound Mako Shark. Depending onthe year, the bluefin can usually be seen until Thanks-giving; however, landing them can be a challenge towardthe latter end of November.Fall fishing along Rhode Island’s south coast has lots

to offer. Get those lines wet and catch a big one.Elisa Jackman, a Point Judith Pond native, has man-aged the tackle shop at Wakefield, R.I.’s Snug Harbor Ma-rina (www.snugharbormarina.com) for over 16 years.

West MarineFlagship Store - Woburn

The new West Marine flagship store in Woburn is the largest of the company’s facilities in northern New Englandand a great location to pick up your Points East. We dis-tribute more issues here than at any other location inMassachusetts. So if your local yacht club or marina isclosed for the season, stop by near the intersection ofInterstates 95 and 93 across from the Woburn Mall for thecurrent issue of Points East.

West Marine came from humble beginnings in founderRandy Repass’ garage to becoming the world’s largest boat-ing supply specialty retailer. And, the company has neverlost sight of Repass’ original philosophy: “We were, and continue to be, a company of boaters helping fellow boaters.”

This brand-new store is over 23,000 square feet and creat-ed to serve both the needs of local residents and those trav-elling through to enjoy the lakes of New Hampshire all theway up to the coast of Maine. In doing so, this WestMarine will have a large selection of fishing and sailinggear plus an extensive selection of marine electronics, boat-ing supplies and casual and technical apparel designed byboaters for boaters. The crew of 15 Associates has morethan 220 years of combined boating, sailing and fishingexperience and has cruised over 30,000 nautical miles.

If you want it, this store has it - The Store features a hugeselection of fishing gear, electronics, apparel, sailing hard-ware, plumbing essentials, boat maintenance supplies, elec-trical products and a full engine parts counter with anexpanded selection of parts for a wide variety of engineneeds. On your way out, don’t forget your copy of Points EastMagazine; they’re right by the door.


I cannot command the wind and weather – AdmiralLord NelsonThe sea finds out everything you did wrong – Old

Norwegian adage

In the late fall of 2008, a good friend of mine con-vinced me not to sail south, but to take on an assign-ment in South America. That did not come to pass, butby the time that decision was made, Selkiewas alreadyhauled and stored in New England. That was to be-come our second winter in the Northeast, one my wifeJean had very strongly indicated was not in her play-book. So when late summer 2009 arrived, there was

clearly no doubt in anyone’s mind what the winterplans were. The complication for us was that our pre-ferred approach of using Dockwise Yacht Transport totransport the boat south (with Jean and I sailing herback in the spring) was no longer economically feasi-ble. In the space of 18 months, the cost had essentiallydoubled, which, combined with the U.S. economy andthe related stock-market crash, meant that it was dif-ficult to justify the cost of our normal plan. Usually it was a zero-sum game between storing the

boat and shipping her down to the Caribbean. Conse-quently, our decision to go south would require me to

sail her there on her own bottom. I had done this be-fore in November, and my experiences have not beenparticularly pleasant ones. I mention this only becausethese facts, combined with other elements of maintain-ing and sailing a boat offshore, are extremely influen-tial in the decision to proceed with our plans – therelevance of which will hopefully become apparent asyou read this article.

Reviewing the critical elementsOnce the decision is made to plan an offshore pas-

sage south, the critical elements of such a plan are eas-ily defined:Is the boat ready, and what work needs to be done

before departure?Route and weather planning.Who are the crew, and what is their availability?Provisioning and last-minute offshore passage

preparation.How these elements fit together and ultimately af-

fect the go/no-go decision can become an elaborate jug-gling act, which, if the skipper isn’t careful, canconfuse the decision-making process.Our standard practice is, during the summer season,

to determine what needs to be changed/fixed before de-parture offshore, establish the budget, and, mid- to

late September, arrange with Dodsonin Stonington, Conn., to undertakethe necessary work. This year was nodifferent, but most of the work was ei-ther voluntary equipment upgrade(new DSC radio, AIS receiver) or rou-tine maintenance (bottom paint,zincs, oil and filter change). The onlyexception was a friction-based noisein the steering, which I had mentallyattributed to the need for cable tight-ening.My game plan was to depart for

Bermuda, weather permitting, theweekend of October 24-25, with a viewto getting a jump on the inevitable se-ries of frontal passages that occur inNovember and subsequent months with ever increas-ing frequency. With regard to crew, both Jean and Iprefer a maximum of three people. It allows everyonedecent sleep, and provisioning doesn’t take over theboat. As regards route and weather, Selkie is capable of

doing (and has done) the trip nonstop. My preferenceis to break the trip up by stopping in Bermuda to re-fuel and provision, which gives me more crew flexibil-ity and relieves me of any stressing out over fuel andwater capacity. The most challenging part of the pas-

sage is the Stonington-Bermuda leg,both from a weather planning perspec-tive and the timing and location of theGulf Stream crossing. I access NOAAand Bermuda Weather forecasts andsynoptic charts, plus a GRIB file, ei-ther through OCENS or Pas-sageWeather.com. In addition, I pay for a weather rout-

ing from Commander’s Weather, a pro-fessional weather service I have usedmany times in the past. In a nutshell,the game plan essentially revolvesaround leaving behind a frontal pas-sage and crossing the Gulf Stream be-fore the next low-pressure systemleaves the US east coast. If timed

right, you are in Bermuda before any ugly stuff over-takes you, and, worst case, you don’t have to suffer fortoo long before making port. Similar decisions aremade in leaving Bermuda, but without the added com-plication of the Gulf Stream.With Jean acting as my backup, I had asked Ken

Packie to help with the delivery leg, with two friends(one from Europe and one from Florida) making up thenumbers. Ken’s experience on the Bermuda leg wasimportant as neither of my two friends had any seri-ous offshore experience. If the one doing the first leg

(also staying on for the second leg) didn’t work out, Iwould be able to regroup in Bermuda. So the scene isset; now for the plot unfolding:

Chronology of what transpiredOct. 5: Haul boat, begin work on bottom, etc. Serv-

ice/investigate steering problem.Oct. 6-12: Play in rudder identified as potential

lower bearing/seal problem. Selkie has had these itemsreplaced in prior years, and we know there is a parts-supply problem. Harken and Edson, early AldenOEMs, are no longer in the business. Alden Yachtshave also gone out of business and tracking downrecords on their yachts is tough at best. Through my contacts, I track down a former Alden

project manager, and he agrees to drive down to Dod-son to take a look. The conclusion is that the rudderplay (under 0.25 inches) in and of itself is not yet a bigenough problem to prevent my offshore plans. If, how-ever, the seals are leaking then seal replacement, at aminimum, will be necessary. The strange noise in the steering is finally identified

as worn gears in the autopilot drive unit. Rebuildingthe existing unit will take at least three weeks. I au-thorize the rebuild and the purchase of a replacementunit to save time. I can either keep the rebuilt unit asa spare or sell it later.

Oct. 12: All other work complete, Selkie is re-

launched. Weather prevents us from taking her outuntil later in the week. The bad news is, the seals areleaking sufficiently to be of concern. Boat is scheduledfor haul as soon as decision is made on replacementbearing and seal manufacturer.

Oct: 12-21: Advise crew of delay in departure anddiscuss availability and alternatives. Research establishes that simply replacing the seals

is putting off the bigger problem of further wearing ofthe bearings. Coastal sailing would probably be OK forat least another season, but I’m not willing to take therisk offshore. I talk to a number of replacement man-ufacturers and other boatbuilders (J Boats, Morris andHinckley to name a few) and narrow the three initialchoices down to two. Jefa and Shuster. Jefa makes themost sense, as they supposedly make a drop-in re-placement.I talk to them and obtain drawings for Dodson. It

transpires that on a closer look, Jefa is not a drop in.The existing thru-hull for the rudder-post and bearingwill have to be enlarged. We also determine that theupper bearing (might as well do both while I am there)will not fit as designed. Neither I nor Dodson arethrilled with the prospect of cutting a bigger hole inthe hull. It also looks to me like I will have similar is-sues with the new bearings in the future as the struc-tural design doesn’t look too different.

Oct. 21-22: Talk to J Boats again and get in touch

Oct. 23: Haul boat and start dismantling steeringsystem in anticipation of receiving new parts. Becauseof colder temperatures and need for fiberglass work,seven to 10 days are estimated to finish the job oncethe parts are received. Reschedule departure date forNov. 15.

vised of planned Nov. 22 departure date.Nov. 20:Talk to Commander’s Weather. Earliest rec-

ommended departure date Nov. 24.Dec. 4: Load boat and prepare for offshore passage-

making. Talk to Commanders and review weatherforecasts and charts every two days. This is an El Ninoyear: Systems are forming in the Gulf and speeding upthe coast and gathering ferocity as they cross thewarm waters of the Gulf Stream. These systems aretraveling the length of the East Coast in under twodays. When this pattern is combined with normal two- to

three-day low-pressure systems traversing the U.S.continent, it is proving tough to reach and cross theGulf Stream before gale-force conditions overtake theboat. I am not willing to test the new system knowingI am traveling into these types of conditions. Finallycancel trip Dec. 5.

Lessons learned Unrealistic expectations for the repairs. Once it was

determined that no replacement was a “drop-in,” weshould have realized that we were facing an uphill bat-tle with the original schedule. There were a considerable number of technical and

practical problems that had to be addressed during theinstallation of the bearings and seals. Dodson had tovirtually reengineer the steering system in order to geteverything to work properly (autopilot drive arm,quadrant and cable location etc). For anyone inter-ested I can discuss these at length separately. We ended up talking to the owners of Edson, among

others, to make sure everything was being recon-structed appropriately. Could the yard potentiallyhave finished quicker? Maybe, but given the cold con-ditions and the extensive amount of fibreglass workthey had to do, I am not going to be the one to second-guess them or indeed push them to go faster. This isthe steering system, for heaven’s sake! By adopting a less aggressive repair plan, I could

have at least reduced the stress levels of all concerned,including prospective crew who were battling to main-

tain cost effective airline bookings.Could I have spotted the problem earlier? Maybe. I

check under my sole boards regularly. I had noted asmall amount of salt water seepage in the general areaof the dripless seal, but had put this down to start-upseepage from the seal, which can happen when theboat has not been used for a while. I made an assump-tion, instead of making the effort to track down theproblem. Not a real issue if you are coastal sailing, butfar more critical if attempting an offshore passage.The yard can only undertake so much. As Dodson

will tell you (sometimes to their chagrin, I am sure), Itend to be very hands-on when any repairs are under-taken on Selkie. By undertaking a lot of the research,I was able to make better-informed decisions on re-placements and the consequences. I was also able to make their decisions easier and

more efficient by doing the initial research and bring-ing them in after the preliminary conversations. I alsorealized that I had saved a lot of dollars by undertak-ing this role rather than paying yard personnel for theearly, basic research. Could I have made the decision earlier?My plan was

to wait for a halfway decent weather window and usethe first 24 hours under way as the true seal trial.That period would show up any defects quickly andgive me the comfort of knowing we could get back toland in a short time period if necessary. As the weather patterns (or lack of them) became

clearer and given the nature of the repairs, I probablycould have made the call earlier that I was not goingto see the type of weather conditions I required to de-part. Again, for those interested, I can talk in more de-tail about the weather analysis and my decisionprocess as to whether I should depart or not.Ultimately, this becomes about dollars and schedule.

The reality is we should not plan passages around ei-ther. But the practicality of crew schedules and thehigh cost of changing flights these days makes thembecome a factor. If it had been just Jean and me – Ididn’t have to worry about a new steering system – Imight have taken a shot at getting across the Streamand then having to heave to once across before tryingto enter Bermuda waters. Jean probably would not have forgiven me after-

ward, but we could have done that. The real truth isthat when I made the final decision to cancel (havingjust spent a small fortune to make sure my boat wasready and wanting to avoid the hassle and expense oflast-minute winter storage), I had asked myself thecorrect question: “ If money was irrelevant, would yougo?” The answer to that was no. I rest my case. CCA member Paul F. Cambridge, of Greenwich,Conn., has sailed over 15,000 offshore miles, 4,000miles doublehanded. Offshore passages in Selkie, manydoublehanded, total over 10,000 miles.
