The Avoidable
and Not-So-Much
A
lright it’s two months later and I’m still in the boat yard. As I’ve said before I enjoy my time in the yard communing with the boat and getting her all perfect. One project seems to lead to another one and time just passes. Hurricane season is underway and there have already been three named storms at the time of this writing so I know I have to wrap this up and get mobile again. Weather dictates much of our activities on the water. There is no such thing as a “hurricane hole”. If you are in the path of a hurricane it will wreak havoc on you no matter where you are. The only sure way to be safe in a hurricane is for you and the boat to not be there. Lightning on the other hand is a little more difficult to avoid. As I’m writing here, I’m watching a lightning storm heading my way from the north. From my view point, I’m in beautiful sunshine as I watch the lightning bolts flash through the sky on there approach. A single lightning strike will do many thousands of dollars damage to your electronic equipment in seconds. It is a pain in the butt. To combat this, I do a couple of things. First, I constantly fight the urge to have all the electronic gadgets that make life easier. Next, every gadget I have can be easily removed from the electrical circuits on the boat. The only way they will be saved is to be completely un-wired not simply turned off. The induction current from a lightning strike will destroy most solid-state equipment. Last, every conductive metal part of the boat is wired to ground terminating to a long, skinny solid copper plate on the bottom of the hull. Upon my haul-out this trip I saw hundreds of tiny pin holes in my bottom paint and curiously enough they were all on the port side of the boat. My first theory for this phenomenon was that I may have either gotten a bad batch of paint last time, I mixed it wrong, or maybe there was some wind driven sand in it while putting it on. It took a while to grind out all the pin holes and epoxy them then fair everything out. Of course, everyone in the yard had their own theories of the cause. Curiosity consumed me so I consulted a Naval Architect to get his opinion. One look and he said it was from lightning. I use a very high copper concentrated paint and he postulated that lightning, not a direct strike, but running across the water hit the boat and caused the copper-based paint to quickly expand causing the pin holes. Who knew? I don’t think that even the experts fully understand lightning. What is known, is that a bolt carries a billion or so volts. Not much of anything is going help with that except a healthy dose of dumb luck. Be Lucky.

Low Hours Motivated Seller: Deep-V hull with moderate beam and a solid fiberglass bottom. The layout below includes a dinette that converts into a berth, along with an enclosed head and shower, and of course a midberth aft. Privacy curtains separate the sleeping areas from the main cabin which is highlighted by three overhead hatches and attractive burlwood cabinetry. The cockpit comes with a wet bar and a removable table in addition to a fore-and-aft facing bench seats, and the entire cockpit sole raises on hydraulic rams to reveal the engine compartment. The stylish tiered helm is particularly well arranged. An efficient and powerful 300hp MerCruiser 5.7L 350CID displacement sterndrive gas engine with Bravo III dual prop drive will cruise this Sundancer at 20-25 knots and reach a top speed of around 35 knots.

A Year and Change By: Erica Kasperkowiak
“Where are you guys from?” asked a friendly fellow at a Carolina Beach gas station. It’s a question we get asked a lot and always have a hard time answering. In an effort to articulate this for you, our readers, the difficulty in answering is due to the fact that in the four years of ownership of the Irie, there has been one constant…change. We started our journey four years ago from two different cities. Erica hailed from New York City and Patrick from Boston. Since our first sail South, we have sold our condo in Boston, kept the apartment in New York City, had a baby, spent two plus years living on our boat while sailing up and down the East Coast & Bahamas, and spent a year living in Carolina Beach, NC with the Irie in a boatyard following two accidents. We departed Carolina Beach on June 23rd after a year and change. This year taught us many things, but the biggest realization we had was this: it’s not the places or the destinations or even the beautiful sunsets. It’s the people. People have made our adventure great. Sure, we talk about things like, “Remember that crazy guy we met in the islands that turned his SUP into a windsurfer for his wife so she could get the hang of sailing?” or “Remember that cigar bar we found that had the most amazing Cuban band playing and we danced together all night?” We have had a fantastic journey, but what we talk about most at the end of our days is who we care about most, where they are, how they are doing and discussing logistics so that we can see them again. It’s the people we meet that enrich our lives the most.

Carolina Beach’s best kept secret is not any of the reasons that first come to mind – beaches, sun, nightlife and food. The year round population consists of some of the most interesting and genuine people we have ever met. Our condo neighbors made us feel so welcome, inviting us to holiday parties, bbqs, and sunset dinners on the deck. We made dear friends with a couple who was a year new to Carolina Beach with a son the same age as ours. They introduced us to all of their friends too, all similar couples to us, people searching for a better quality of life and meaning. This little island is magic. We had a little party to christen our boat and pay homage to Poseidon (look up the ceremony. We highly recommend it to new boat owners. All of the people we met in CB came and as we toasted to the evening, we felt at home. We were so fortunate to call CB our home for just 1 short year. Don’t worry guys we won’t spill ALL the beans, your secret is safe with us. See you in the fall. You can follow the adventures of Irie and her crew here as well as www.irieislanders.com
