Untie Now and

Tow Later

It´s January, and I love this time of year. Especially when I

can get south of…oh say 21°´N. After hurricane season it is almost a rite of passage to beat against the trade winds to destinations as far southeast as possible. The idea of course is to find warm weather, isolated islands with great tiki bars on the beach, and watch the snow on TV. As is usual for this time of year, that´s where I am now. I really like tropical fishing, scantily clad bodies, and cold beer.

No matter how far I go or how hard it is to get there, it seems that I always arrive with a variety of folks that I just can´t figure out how they got here in one piece. As I sit here I´m witnessing a fine example of someone practicing utter arrogance. You see, being a prudent sailor I really like anchoring in the lee of an island. That means that the wind and the current are coming from the land. This is really important because if something, anything goes wrong with my ground tackle I will be taken away from land and an unfortunate grounding. Most captains like to be in this position with the “Mother Ship”, but don´t seem to think as much about their tenders.

So I watched this guy take his dinghy to the beach earlier. I have no idea why he needed to be there. Upon trying to return he untied from the small dinghy dock and immediately started drifting to sea. Then he proceeds to start his motor. Yeah, the motor is not starting. I have watched him pull the cord at least fifty times and while he is out of ear shot I can clearly make out his expletives. He has checked his fuel twice; he has checked the breather on the fuel can, and now has the cover off the motor. He is really staring hard at the motor as if the shear will of his desire is going to fix the problem.

Through the binoculars I can see that he does not have an adequate set of oars nor is there any evidence of an anchor. He is more than a hundred yards from the dock at this point and there is no one around. That of course puts the onus on me so I´m going to do what I always do and go help the guy. I´ll start by filling two “to go” cups of coffee (let´s hope he takes his black and bitter). I´ll launch my dink and tow him to his boat or back to the beach where he can get mechanical help. The hard part will be how to ask him why he would ever launch his boat away from any mooring before starting the motor. While you are still attached to the dock or your boat a mechanical failure is a none event. It seems like such a simple idea yet it too often doesn´t happen.

Message from the Editor…

Hello!

This is Scott Wilkins, the new leader of the Coastal Mariner Magazine. I, like so many of you, have enjoyed picking this magazine up at my local market and bringing it home to read and enjoy for many years now. I love boats and all things marine. Boating is such a wonderful way to stay connected with nature and boating enriches lives and brings friends and families closer together. And I look forward to the Coastal Mariner Magazine remaining a well-recognized brand and expanding its content, reach and value as we move forward into 2018 and beyond!

Now as the new leader of this long running magazine, my goals are simple. First… Provide a valuable and compelling package of services for all those who advertise or publish content in the magazine. And second, to provide a publication that provides entertainment, insights, and value to our readers. And of course… to help do all we can in the process to promote the coastal marine boating lifestyle and bring more ‘Mates’ on board.

In coming issues you will start to see some changes to help evolve the magazine towards more of a lifestyle and information type publication. We will continue to focus on bringing to your attention the products and services of our advertisers as well as keep you tuned into all things marine in the South East coastal area where we distribute the magazine.

We have a motivated and excited crew on board. Loretta Keoth (Loretta@coastalmariner.com) will be heading up our customer service organization. She would love to take your ad order!

Also we have brought on Jim and Denise Merit. Jim will be heading up our Business Operations and Denise will be leading our Social Media and E-Channel efforts to expand the reach and value of the magazine.

If you have ideas on topics or services you think would be valuable to offer or add to the magazine, I’m always interested in hearing your ideas. You can send them to me or reach me at scott@coastalmariner.com Thanks for picking us up and Happy Boating!
