I couldn’t say how many hours I’ve spent at the office. How long I’ve dedicated to client meetings, working lunches and all-nighters. Which is why it’s so rewarding to be out here, where there are no e-mails, where the only meeting that matters is the hull and the water, and the only call is the ocean ahead.

Dear Fellow Boater, Happy 2013! It was a busy fall for Marinalife as we exhibited and attended many boat shows. It was a great opportunity to catch up with our members as well as marinas and industry partners. The fall also brought devastation to parts of the Northeast with Hurricane Sandy. The boating community was hit especially hard and our thoughts go out to everyone affected by this horrible storm. The Marinalife team has been working hard to keep the boating community up to date on the status of marinas in these areas. We continue to keep a web page (marinalife.com/postsandy) and our Facebook page updated on the rebuilding efforts to let you know when the marinas will re-open. We are excited to announce several new tools that are now available from Marinalife. The Marinalife magazine app is available for Apple and Android platforms. Visit marinalife.com/digitalmag to learn more. Also, a new Service and Maintenance locator is now available on the Marinalife web site under the Tools and Resources tab. You can now search for service and repair yards by location and by the specific service that you are looking for. This issue of the Marinalife magazine covers everything from the pirates of the Chesapeake Bay to the history of St. Lucia. Please let us know what you would like to see in upcoming issues of the magazine. You can email me: magazine@marinalife.com with story ideas or your own cruising story. We look forward to a spectacular 2013! Happy Cruising,

Live Aboard Boating … our home, our castle … our boat! all and winter are times when we up north start to think of an Marinalife now offers insurance for open fire, hot toddies and dare live-aboard boaters. I say it … Nor’ Easters. Perhaps it’s also It is easy to get a quote. time to spare a thought for the Live > Live-aboard insurance visit: Aboard community. marinalife.com/insurance; call It’s been a while since I socialized in Peter Teuten: 410-752-0505 ext. 1004; a ‘pitching’ living room without spilling or email: pteuten@marinalife.com a gin and tonic. As if the alcohol isn’t > Live-aboard financing: Marinalife’s enough to disturb an aging equilibrium, partner Essex Credit, offers financing getting to the venue in the first place for live-aboard boaters. Visit: often involves narrow walkways, slippery essexcredit.com/ml or 866-377-3948 decks and gangplanks that look like their last assignment was “one way walks” only. For these reasons I take my hat off to the hardy souls that commit their residential aspirations to the mores of aquatic foundations. Sure, it’s a choice thing, but the lifestyle adjustment seems like a perilous mountain to a land lubber, such as myself. The point, well, we all grew up believing that a man’s home was his castle, but unless Pixar’s creative folks have stretched that far, I have yet to see a castle that actually floats. Which leads me to the ever confusing conundrum of the live aboard — is the boat our house, or is it the other way around? No mud room, check. No back yard, check. No attic, check. Yep, it’s really a boat — we just happen to live on it! A boat is a boat. So, to those, of you who either are “living the dream” or want to take that big leap, on goes the “risk guys” hat; start with the boat thing (your COVE risks: Captain and crew, Operation, Vessel, Environment and external) and then determine how your permanency on board impacts these risks. Insurance companies have a nasty habit of turning away applications for live aboard risks for precisely the reason that, averagely, a live aboard owner is looking at his or her asset as a house on the water, rather than a boat. Needless to say, there are other complications for live aboard owners — not the least of which is how to protect yourself when not on the boat (boater’s insurance won’t cover your liability to others unless the boat is involved — unlike homeowners insurance similarly, many marine finance companies won’t offer financing, but our partner Essex Credit does offer financing to live aboards) — but if you can adopt a simple methodology to assess and mitigate your live aboard risks, you will become, overnight, both more insurable, safer, and less likely to ever regret the live aboard experience. For that piece of advice, all I would ever ask is a stable floor upon which to sip my gin and tonic. Cheers!

WEEKEND WARRIOR

Travel Channel ranked South Beach as one of the Top 10 Best Beaches in the World.

Miami to Key Largo, Palm Beach and Bimini

A By Kate Tafelski

A trip to Miami Beach is the perfect cure for the winter blues. Even better, stretch it into an easy weekend cruise along the Florida coast or even head out to the Bahamian island of Bimini. With its long stretches of sandy beaches dotted with cafés and restaurants, a beautiful historic district, signature Art Deco buildings, and a lively social scene, Miami is a fantastic destination in and of itself. It also makes for an excellent launching-off point for day trips or multi-day adventures. Treat yourself to some time in the city before you take off. For a fun day on the water sit back in your boat and cruise around Star, Palm, and Hibiscus Islands, where many celebrities — including Lenny Kravitz and Gloria Estefan — own waterfront homes. A quick trip south brings you to Virginia Key, which is technically part of Key Biscayne and is a popular spot for anchoring and enjoying a swim or a walk along the key’s wildlife trails. At the tip of Key Biscayne is Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, featuring the 1825 Cape Florida Lighthouse, the oldest structure in South Florida, plus the Lighthouse Café. If you can swing it, plan your trip to coincide with one of the many terrific events that Miami hosts each year. The Miami International Boat Show is February 14-18 in 2013, and the Coconut Grove Festival (a happening outdoor arts and music celebration) is February 16-18. Shortly after, the SoBe Wine & Food Festival on February 21-24, is presented by Food & Wine magazine and attracts celebrity chefs from around the nation. Our favorite places to dock in the Miami area are the Miami Beach Marina (miamibeachmarina.com, 305-673-6000) and Sunset Harbour Yacht Club (sunsetharbouryc.com, 305-398-6800).

Key Largo, Florida

Head south from Miami to the Florida Keys for fishing, diving and wildlife adventures. Dock at Key Largo’s well-appointed Ocean DAY Reef Club (oceanreef.com, 305-367-2611), then head over to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park to rent scuba or snorkel gear and explore the coral reefs up close, or take a glass-bottom-boat tour to view the ocean creatures while staying dry. For an unforgettable on-land coral experience, make a detour to Edward Leedskalnin’s trippy Coral Castle. To get a true taste of the local flavor, try the conch fritters at Alabama Jack’s or sip a tropical drink while watching one of the best sunsets in south Florida at Sundowners. The Uncorked Food & Wine Festival ( January 11-19) and the Stone Crab & Seafood Festival ( January 26-27) are other great ways to sample Key Largo life.

In Key Largo, the “Dive Capital of the World,” you can explore over 70 square miles of preserved coral reef

Head north from Miami to fabulous Palm Beach, known for its Worth Avenue shopping, terrific dining and beautiful beaches. Wander through the City Place district, full of excellent boutiques, and stop by Ta-boo, a wonderful decades-old American bistro, for stone-crab claws and coconut-crusted shrimp when you’re feeling peckish. Every Thursday night there’s live music and entertainment along Clematis Street. For easy access to City Place and Celamtis Street — not to mention first-class golf and scads of other great restaurants — dock at the Palm Harbor Marina (palmharbormarina.com, 800-435-8051). Consider hitting Palm Beach during the outdoor music and arts festival Sunfest, May 1-5 in 2013; or the Palm Beach International Boat Show, ranked one of the country’s top 10 boat shows and rolling into town again March 21-24.

Courtesy of Bimini Bay Marina

At the “Big Game Fishing Capital of the World” you can explore the depths of the waters including a stone formation that some claim to be part of the lost continent of Atlantis

City Place is a hub of activity for Palm Beachers, with over 100 shops and restaurants as well as a dancing water fountain that performs every half hour.

2 DAYS

Palm Beach County Convention and Visitors Bureau

Palm Beach, Florida

Bimini, Bahamas

Head about 50 miles east of Miami to check out the island of Bimini in the Bahamas. Bimini is known for its big-game fishing, DAYS but its clear waters and intricate reefs provide ample opportunities for other experiences too. Dock at Bimini Bay Resort & Marina (biminibayresort.com, 877-666-2574) or Bimini Big Game (biggame clubbimini.com, 800-867-4764), and ask your dockmaster how to rent kayaks, paddle boards, kite boards and windsurfers. You can also swim with dolphins, sting rays and sharks, or explore the sunken S.S. Sapona. To get around the island, rent golf carts from Dolphin Golf Cart or Surf Golf Carts. Motor over to Big John’s Bar for cocktails and live music, and on your way back to the boat don’t forget to pick up some freshly baked Bimini bread at a local bakery such as Barbara Hanna or Nathalie’s Bimini Bread. To sample fresh conch from right around the island, grab lunch at Fab’s Conch Salad Stand or Captain Bob’s. m l For information about clearing customs in the Bahamas, visit bahamas.com/vacation-planning/customs-immigration.

We departed from South Shore Harbour Marina and started down the ICW to Clearwater, Fla., with what felt like all of our belongings. After arriving on the west coast of Florida, we found our cruising experience so enjoyable that we decided to delay our Great Loop trip and take the

Florida’s Fort Pierce: A Historic Gem on the Treasure Coast By Kate Tafelski

ONE OF THE OLDEST communities on Florida’s east coast, Fort Pierce has embraced its rich heritage while encouraging the revitalization of its old Florida charm. With gorgeous weather and plenty of things to do on sea and on land, it’s quickly clear why Fort Pierce has been one of Florida’s favorite communities for more than 175 years. Frederick Douglass Memorial Beach on Hutchinson Island in Fort Pierce is one of the only places in Florida where you can ride a horse on the beach. Fort Pierce was founded in 1837 as a headquarters for the U.S. Army during the Seminole Indian War. Since then, it has seen the shipping and fishing industries along the Atlantic Coast boom. Explore the town’s multilayered history at the St. Lucie County Historical Museum, or check out one of the many other unique museums, such as the nation’s only U.S. Navy Seal Museum and downtown’s A.E. Backus Museum & Gallery, which features the work of a beloved

local landscape artist. The landmark Sunrise Theatre — which first opened its doors in 1923 as the largest performing arts space on Florida’s east coast — is a major attraction in Fort Pierce and has a full lineup of popular acts ranging from Tony Bennett to the Cuban National Symphony. Outdoor enthusiasts will not be disappointed. Golfers shouldn’t miss the 18-hole Indian Hills Golf Course, about a mile from downtown. If you’re an angler, book a charter to sample the tremendous deep-sea fishing around the Fort Pierce Inlet and Hutchinson Island. To enjoy the region’s wildlife (including dolphins), clamber aboard the Florida Dolphin Watch’s pontoon boats and explore the secluded mangroves. There’s a lively spirit to Main Street’s Friday Fest, the most popular, familyfriendly celebration on the Treasure Coast, held the first Friday of every month. The Downtown Farmers Market, held every Wednesday and Saturday morning, has a wealth of baked goods, fresh produce, artisanal condiments and outstanding seafood.

The Essentials: Fort Pierce Where to Dock Fort Pierce City Marina (fortpiercecity marina.com, 772-464-1245) is located in the heart of the historic downtown waterfront. The marina has embarked on a unique waterfront project that includes the construction of 12 man-made islands to serve as a green break wall. Where to Eat and Drink For an early morning bite, try Importico’s Bakery Café (134 S. Indian River Drive, 772429-3435), where all the pastries are made in-house and there’s a cozy dining area. Cobb’s Landing has a full menu of burgers, pastas and flatbreads, plus a mojito bar — try the pineapple one (200 N. Indian River Drive, 772-460-9014). Yellowtail Grill & Raw Bar is the best place in town for fresh seafood (101 N. 2nd St., 772-466-5474). For dessert, head to Uncle Carlo’s Gelato (141 Melody Lane, 772-672-4401). And it’s never a bad call to grab a cocktail at the original Tiki Bar (2 Ave. A, 772-461-0880), located at the Fort Pierce City Marina. m l

CRUISING THROUGH HISTORY

Marigot Bay is known as the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean.

Hewanorra: The Island of St.Lucia By Capt. Jeff Werner

Well over a thousand years before Christopher Columbus sailed to the New World, the Arawaks paddled their dugout canoes north from the forests between the Orinoco and Amazon Rivers to settle in the Antilles. Six hundred years later, the peaceful Arawaks were invaded by the Caribs from South America. The Caribs arrived with their culture of shamans, hereditary kings, and fast war canoes, and spread north through the West Indies, eventually giving their name to the Caribbean Sea. By the time Columbus sailed through the Windward Islands in 1502 and sighted St. Lucia, the Caribs had already named it Hewanorra, or “Island of the Iguanas.” The first European known to live on St. Lucia was a buccaneer named Francois le Clerc but nicknamed Jambe du Bois for his wooden peg-leg. In the 1550s, he would plunder the treasure galleons of the Spanish Main and then retreat to his lair on Pigeon Island at St. Lucia’s northwest tip. And so began the long history of European inroads and colonization of Hewanorra. The Dutch arrived around 1600 and built a stronghold at the southern end of the island. Today, 30 MARINALIFE.COM

that area is called Vieux Fort in recognition of those fortifications. In 1605, the first true colonists arrived, if unexpectedly. The British ship Olive Branch was full of settlers and headed for Guyana when it was unwittingly blown off course, and it wound up landing on St. Lucia instead. Mistaking this for providence, the 67 colonists waded ashore to establish an English foothold. Within five weeks, only 19 remained. The rest had succumbed to disease or fighting with the Caribs. Those lucky 19 fled from St. Lucia in a canoe. Unbeknownst to the Caribs, Hewanorra was later given to the Earl of Carlisle as part of a land grant from the British Crown. This was the first time the name St. Lucia was used on a legal document. In 1638, Captain Judlee arrived with about 300 men to stake out the land grant. The new settlement thrived for about 18 months until a dispute with the Caribs boiled over. Hundreds of British settlers died in the ensuing attack.

greatest impact on the architecture, language, food, customs and geography of St. Lucia. Place names such as Anse Cochon, Cap Marquis, Rodney Bay Marina and Marigot all reflect that French (758-452-0324, heritage.

This area was worshipped and a 4.5 acre boatyard. by both the Arawaks and the Caribs, and it was there amidst the rich volcanic soil that the French built their plantations and slave quarters in the early 18th century. The plantations, called estates, grew coffee, cotton, cocoa and sugar. The nearby village on the bay was named Soufriere, literally meaning “sulphur in the air.” The town was laid out in classic French style, with a church adjoining a square, and the square surrounded by the homes of the wealthy inhabitants. Streets radiated out in a rectangular fashion from the square. Today, some classic French tropical architecture can still be seen in Soufriere. Just prior to the French Revolution, at Diamond Estate on the outskirts

Once again, the English survivors were forced to flee. At about the same time the French were showing interest in St. Lucia. Also without consulting the Caribs, a Monsieur d’Esnambus claimed in 1626 that Cardinal Richelieu had granted the island to him. In 1643, a Frenchman by the name of Rousselan was appointed governor of St. Lucia. Rousselan wisely married a Carib woman and the French colony prospered for 20 years. Roughly a hundred miles to windward of St. Lucia, out in the Atlantic Ocean, lay the English colony of Barbados. In 1664, Barbados had too many people. The British governor, Francis Lord Willoughby, needed a convenient location to offload his surplus colonists. He decided to ignore the French territorial claim to his west, and invaded St. Lucia with 1,000 Barbadians. The French quickly surrendered, and Barbados began its satellite colony. Within a year it was abandoned, again due to sickness and attacks by the Caribs. This was the third time an English colony had failed on Hewanorra. Even after a treaty in 1667 placed St. Lucia back in the hands of the French, the British still didn’t get the message. They continued to try to claim possession of the island. From the moment St. Lucia reverted to a French Crown colony during the reign of Louis XIV in 1674 until the end of the Napoleonic era, the island was declared a neutral territory or changed hands between the British and French no fewer than 11 times. St. Lucia was a pawn in the affairs and wars of the European powers during that period. The treaties that ended the War of Austrian Succession, the Seven Years War, and the American War of Independence all played roles in the ever-changing ownership of St. Lucia. Finally, in 1814, Great Britain gained possession of St. Lucia and didn’t let go until 1979, when St. Lucia was granted independence. However, it was the French influence that had the

of Soufriere, a mineral bath was built for the troops of King Louis XVI, reminiscent of French spas of the day. The final 165 years that St. Lucia spent as an English colony did take its toll on one aspect of life there: in order to find a proper croissant or baguette, one must sail 21 nautical miles north to Martinique, which is still a French overseas state, and it’s a “beat” all the way. But in a nod to the former British Empire, you set sail to Martinique from Rodney Bay, named after the famed British naval officer George Brydges Rodney. Rodney roundly defeated the French many times during his 40 years at sea, most notably at the Battle of the Saintes in 1782, when he broke the line of the French fleet under Comte de Grasse, the hero of the Siege of Yorktown.

Westrec Marinas

Celebrating 25 years of service to the marina industry By Olivia Schleicher

estrec Marinas is a professional management service company dedicated to the marine industry, now celebrating its 25th year in business. Westrec Marinas owns and operates 32 marinas across the United States, from Hawaii and California to Florida and Georgia, including three marinas in Brazil. The company also handles fuel docks, repair and maintenance facilities, wet and dry storage facilities, ships’ stores, commercial real estate, restaurants, campgrounds and lodging facilities. Westrec Marinas has been committed to the highest standards of service since it was founded by Michael M. Sachs in Encino, California, in 1987, as a sister company to Public Storage, Inc. Excellence in marina development and operations is crucial to Westrec’s philosophy. “Since it has always been our desire to make getting out on the water one of the most rewarding experiences possible for our customers, Westrec is developing marinas that employ state-of-the-art technology and exceed basic regulatory requirements,” says company president Bill Anderson. Westrec Marinas has many partnerships with government agencies throughout the country, including the Chicago Park District; Miami-Dade County; the cities of Fernandina Beach and Dania, in Florida; and the city of Stockton and the Port of Los Angeles, in California. Westrec has been managing nine marinas in Chicago since 1996. Westrec’s Chicago operations received the 2012 ISS Fabien Cousteau Blue Award for their development 34 MARINALIFE.COM

of the 31st Street Marina. The award is an environmental honor, named for Fabien Cousteau, the grandchild of Jacques Cousteau, and is being presented to Westrec for an environmentally friendly structure the company built to house the 31st Street Marina’s office and boat-storage facilities. The building has a “green” roof and includes a playground for visitors. Due to its high levels of facility maintenance and customer service, Westrec Marinas has differentiated itself from other marina-management companies. The diversity of their properties — from Sunrise Harbor in Fort Lauderdale to Cabrillo Way Marina in Southern California — makes it extremely important that they maintain their standards and their commitment to the Westrec philosophy across all locations. President Bill Anderson believes that, “solutions unique to Westrec’s corporate philosophy have been incorporated into our marina properties throughout the company’s growth. Our commitment to delivering great service, our most important product, has remained unchanged since day one.” The next time you’re out on the water in your favorite cruising spot, consider stopping at one of Westrec’s marinas for an extraordinary stay. m l For more information, visit westrecmarinas.com.

crew traveled along Florida’s Panhandle heading towards the west coast. They made a stop in Apalachicola and Clearwater and were en route to Anna Maria when they hit the first of many bad storms. With heavy winds and four- to five-foot seas, they were stuck at sea all night struggling with the very unfortunate weather conditions. They cruised south stopping in Venice, Captiva and Naples heading towards the Florida Keys.

After leisurely cruising the Keys, DeGrasse III sailed from Miami to Palm Beach where they docked at Palm Harbor Marina in West Palm Beach (561-6554757, palmharbor-marina.com). The floating docks and extremely courteous service made this a favorite marina for the crew. “You call them on the radio and they are there within minutes to help tie up the boat and hook up any necessary power.

love for the sea, respect for high winds and waves, and a tremendous sense of adventure are a few lessons Admiral Philip A. Dur learned during his career in the Navy. Now retired, Dur is cruising the coasts with wife Judy and goldendoodle Cody by his side on their 53 Maritimo, DeGrasse III. He still finds himself battling the seas just like he did on his first command in the Navy. Having named all of the vessels he has owned after his first command Comte DeGrasse, and spending most of his youth traveling, it is clear that cruising the seas has become more than just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle. This past year the crew took off on one of the longest trips they have ever taken. Their four-month voyage at sea offered more excitement than ever expected. They battled hurricane Ernest, two tough thunderheads and a failed engine, but after putting 2200 miles and 300 engine hours on the vessel, this trip proved that DeGrasse III knows how to battle the sea.

Before taking on the storm, the staff at the Camachee Cove Yacht Harbour (904-829-5676, camacheeisland.com) in St. Augustine, Fla. helped prepare them for the weather. This marina was a highlight for the Durs, who described the marina as the “highest standard that a transient boater can expect in a marina.” Further north, they headed through Georgia to the Carolinas. They began traveling to Ocracoke Island, but with a challenging seaway (about three- to five-foot seas) they decided to abort the plan. DeGrasse III fell behind a large 60foot cruiser and rode in their wake across Pamlico Sound and Croatan Sound all the way to Coinjock, N.C. The crew was off to Virginia, heading north towards the Chesapeake Bay. When entering the Rappahannock River to The Tides Inn Marina (804-438-4418, tidesinn.com), they hit another unbelievably powerful storm, this time causing the vessel to lose an engine. When they reached the marina they were greeted by a very

accommodating staff ready to help with the engine casualty. As luck would have it, leaving Irvington, Va. and continuing north towards Solomons, Md., the crew hit yet another storm, with winds up to 70 knots. “We couldn’t turn the boat around with the heavy winds so we had to ride it out until the storm passed. With only one engine we were more than concerned since we were going to be on a mooring,” said Philip Dur. When the weather settled they were able to travel to Annapolis, Md. where they stayed for a handful of days. Major repairs to the vessel needed to be done so they took the trip to Grasonville, Md. to get DeGrasse III back into shape. The crew traveled back to Portsmouth, Va. where the boat stayed docked during the rest of the hurricane season. The Durs plan to continue their voyage south from Portsmouth, Va. to take DeGrasse III back to Florida. Come spring, the crew plans to take their next adventure to the Bahamas. m l To view this cruise online, visit marinalife.com/durcruise.

Part Jet Ski, part jet pack … pure adrenaline rush. This next-gen watersport launched onto the scene last spring when inventor Raymond Li debuted his JetLev R200, a “personal flight system” that can propel the rider up to 30 feet in the air. How does it work? A 260-horsepower engine on the 10.5-foot companion craft pumps water up a 33-foot hose at 1,000 gallons per minute, generating more than 420 pounds of thrust. When the water reaches the jet pack, it’s directed through two nozzles that the rider controls to climb, hover, turn and dive at up to 30 miles per hour. A single tank of gas can last up to five hours and 80 miles. The $99,500 price tag might cause sticker shock for some, but not to worry, that’s what rentals are for!

Ride on the Wild Side For all the angst boaters have about personal watercraft (PWC), there are some things these mighty-mites can do that other vessels canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, like access shallow water and get up close and personal with otherwise out-of-reach areas. Which is why PWC tours offer a great way to explore new places and see the sites from a different perspective. Each tour and tour operator differs, from Spartan to downright gentlemanly, but almost all of them include experienced guides, ramp/permit fees and, for overnight trips, meals and accommodations. (You typically pay for PWC rental, gas and incidentals). Destinations can be exotic, exciting and even unexpected. Plus, riding a PWC is a refreshing way to remain cool on a hot day.

Breeze Through Life Like paddle boarding, windsurfing has a distinctively Polynesian heritage, but it has since caught fire in places as diverse as Hood River, Ore., and Cabarete, Dominican Republic (two of the world’s very best windsurfing locations). In this sport, riders strap their feet to a surfboard and skim across the water letting the breeze blow them and steering with a rotating sail. Even more sensational is the newer sport of kiteboarding, in which riders use a smaller board and a parachute-like kite that’s hooked to a harness around the waist. With the right wind, kiters can move at amazing speeds and launch themselves 30 feet or more into the sky. Both sports require initial instruction, which is offered at surf shops and resorts worldwide.

It started out as a way for surfing instructors to gain a better vantage point while managing a large group of students. But today, standup paddle boarding (SUP) has become one of the fastest growing outdoors sports in North America. And why not? It’s a great form of exercise, it’s silent and serene, and standing up lessens the glare of sunlight on the water, allowing the paddler to see more of what lies below the surface. Now that’s 360-degree visibility. There’s no shortage of paddle board types — touring, sailing, fishing, inflatable — and experienced enthusiasts can carve ocean waves with the best of them, bringing the sport full circle to its surfing origins.

Probably the oldest and still one of the most popular of all watersports, “tubing” involves tethering an inner tube or other inflatable water toy to the back of a boat and then hitting the throttle. The experience can be easy and laid back, or madcap and bumpy, all depending on how the captain chooses to drive. Today’s towables come in all shapes and sizes — simple donuts, multi-person rafts, elaborate rocket designs — each one created with a single goal in mind: wet and wild fun. Top brands include SportsStuff, Airhead, Aquaglide, Connelly, HO Sports, Liquid Force and Rave. Tubing is the perfect entry-level watersport because it’s non-intimidating, inexpensive, appropriate for all ages — and falling off is half the fun!

THE LOG OF THE

SAILING VESSEL

ADELAIDE The Niehoffsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Two-Year Adventure By Peter Niehoff

Peter and Beth Niehoff boarded their Tayana 52-foot named Adelaide, with kids Petersen, Tyler and Suzanna (plus Winston the Sailor Cat) and set course on a life-changing odyssey. Here, the first in a four-part series recounting their story, as told through the log Peter kept during the trip.

44 MARINALIFE.COM

SEPTEMBER 14 44˚ 18.46 N 68˚ 33.55 W North Brooklin, Maine Today we move onto Adelaide, the boat that is to be our home for the next nine months. We plan to drop the mooring in the morning, and then the voyage will begin. The weather has turned chilly here in Maine and the leaves have begun to fall. While autumn is beautiful in the Northeast, there is also a good north wind that can blow us south, so it is time to leave. We’ll ease down the coast past Portland, Gloucester, Boston and Newport. We then plan to spend most of October in the Chesapeake Bay area before rounding Cape Hatteras and heading down the coast to the Florida Keys. We look forward to hearing from our friends along the way. Please remember to keep emails short, no forwards or pictures. We will get back to you as soon as possible. We thank you for your interest in us, and for your prayers for our safety.

SEPTEMBER 25 42˚ 22.18 N 71˚ 03.49 W Boston Harbor, Massachusetts The good ship Adelaide is at dock in Boston Harbor. We are just across from the naval ship Constitution, aka “Old

Ironsides,” of War of 1812 fame. She is a beautiful ship, and to our surprise fires her cannon as she hauls down her flag at sunset. After we left our cottage boarded up for the winter we set sail south. Our stops in Maine included Camden; Hog Island, which is owned by the Sierra Club and has some beautiful walking trails; and Portland. We spent a couple of days in Portland — one was for weather, and the other was so that we could see a fine exhibit of Impressionist art at the Portland Art Gallery. We then sailed on to Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Gloucester, Massachusetts; and Boston, where we are currently doing laundry and topping off our fuel and water. The crewmembers are being well fed and getting their sea legs. We have caught fish, navigated into busy Boston Harbor in a thick fog, seen porpoise and seals, and been offshore in fairly large swells. The sailing has not been all that good, with light winds mostly on the

bow, and so we have motored more than we would like, but everyone is getting used to living on a small boat. School has begun, and while it hasn’t been much of an adjustment to start the home schooling on the boat, getting back into a routine is always hard. Tomorrow we head for Plymouth, and then on to Buzzards Bay; Martha’s Vineyard; Newport, Rhode Island; and Long Island Sound. We are in no hurry and are enjoying how glorious New England is at this time of year. Tomorrow is Beth and my 20-year anniversary, and we are very happy to be celebrating it in Plymouth. We are grateful for our time together and look forward to everything to come. God has truly blessed us.

OCTOBER 13 38˚ 51.516 N 76˚ 10.727 W Wye River, Chesapeake Bay, Md. After leaving Boston on September 26, we found a neat little anchorage near Plymouth Harbor. We looked for the famous rock but did not find it, and our keel is grateful. We had one of our better sailing days so far, with 10-15 knots of wind just aft of beam. From Plymouth we took aim for Cape Cod and the Cape Cod Canal, which splits the cape at its narrowest point. Catching the tide through the canal is critical, as it can run six knots. We spent that night in Hadley Harbor, Buzzards Bay. Newport, Rhode Island was our next port of call. We spent four nights there waiting for a nor’easter to blow through with its gale force winds. Newport was fun, a real sailor’s town steeped in America’s Cup tradition. We toured some of the famous mansions, caught up on rest and schoolwork, and generally took it easy.

The next few days had us moving down Long Island Sound toward New York City, stopping each night at a new anchorage. We had one of our best sails yet along the New Jersey shore. Winds were strong from behind, and the boat was surfing down the waves. Adelaide hit 10.4 knots coming down one wave! The cold wind was driving us south to the Chesapeake. We arrived in Annapolis on October 10 and spent a couple of days going to stores for food and supplies. The Chesapeake is beautiful at this time of year, with fall foliage and flocks of migrating geese. As I write this, we are anchored in a picturesque river (a bald eagle flew over this morning), and we plan to stay in the area for a while to catch up on schoolwork and boat chores. Sometime toward the end of the month we’ll head south for the Norfolk area and begin looking for a weather window so that we can get around Cape Hatteras and hit our target, Charleston.

NOVEMBER 2 34˚ 37.211 N 76˚ 33.043 W Anchored Point Lookout Bight, near Beaufort, N.C. The crew is happy to be in the south again, it got pretty chilly in the Chesapeake Bay before we left on October 30. We stayed in the Wye River area for about a week, enjoying the peace and beauty and topping off the visit with a stay in St. Michaels, a charming little town with a church that played hymns on its chimes. We met an older Aussie couple, Moss and Theresa, who had been living and traveling aboard for six years. They were full of stories and helpful hints. We also met a family with four kids. The children hit it off instantly, and we spent three nights with them on St. Leonard’s Creek, off the Patuxent River. The kids played ashore each day after school, building caves in the cliffs and fishing. Evenings brought some intense charades between families. After that we followed a cold front south to the Norfolk area. From there the Cape Hatteras passage is a 30-hour overnight trip. We left Norfolk early one morning and motored out of the bay.

Adelaide under sail in Maine.

Naval ships were practicing maneuvers, so we were on our toes until we were well out to sea. With winds blowing 15-20 knots off our stern quarter and seas of 5-6 feet, we sailed south at 7-8 knots. For the evening watch schedule, Tyler and I rotated three-hour stints with Beth and Petersen. Keeping the boat on course, with sails set properly, and watching out for the many big ships were our major duties. The midnight watch was beautiful, with a full moon shining on the ocean. In the morning the water had turned that deep blue color, a real contrast from the muddy Chesapeake. Tyler and Petersen caught six bonito, hauling them in so fast that it was all I could do to keep up and cut the steaks for dinner that night. A pod of dolphins visited us, surfing our bow wave and playing and dancing around the boat. The show lasted about 15 minutes; all of us were in awe. Our anchorage at Lookout Bight is inside one of the barrier islands. Sand dunes and beach surround the boat. The kids are making sandcastles and swimming. Beth is looking forward to ordering a Dr. Pepper in a restaurant, and I am looking forward to ordering iced tea and being asked if I want it

sweet. It’s nice to be back in the south! P.S., Winston the Sailor Cat is fine. He has gotten his sea legs and rarely complains. Catching the bonito has been his highlight so far, but watching sea gulls and pelicans and generally lying around isn’t so bad either.

DECEMBER 4 26˚ 42.979 N 80˚ 02.943 W West Palm Beach, Fla. Our goal for the first part of this cruise was to leave Maine by mid-September and arrive in West Palm Beach by midDecember, where we planned to keep the boat while we traveled home for Christmas. So far, so good. Our trip has been blessed by nice weather, a safe passage, and a healthy crew. We have met friends, been helped by strangers, and seen parts of this country we never knew. We have learned to work together, and to do things we have never done. Things seem more intense on the boat — the beautiful things, like dolphins jumping the bow wave or a star-filled night watch; and the mundane

things, like how good Beth’s beef stew tastes offshore or the joy of standing in a hot shower with unlimited water. The scary things are more intense too: confusion about which channel we’re in, our fuel filters clogging, a storm whipping up the wind and the seas. Everything seems more personal, more real, than things did when we were not living on the boat. Charleston was wonderful. We stayed a week there, seeing the houses, visiting the museum and aquarium, meeting people on other boats and sharing experiences and plans. From Charleston it was a 30-hour offshore trip to Fernandina Beach, Florida. Everyone was sleepy from the night watches as we were coming into Fernandina. I was checking the charts when the radio blared, “Southbound sailboat, this is the naval vessel on your starboard bow.” I looked to starboard, and seeing nothing began to conclude that they weren’t talking to us. Suddenly a nuclear submarine surfaced off our bow. Everyone was awake then! It was hard for me to believe that 30 minutes earlier we had felt very alone in a small boat out on a big ocean. We have been in West Palm Beach for about a week, doing maintenance, catching our breaths, and visiting friends. Currently there is a late tropical storm east of the Bahamas. Hopefully it will make up its mind and head away from here, so that we can get down to the Keys before our trip home for the holidays. This will be the last update we send until we come back to Florida and head for the Bahamas. m l

TALES OF PIRACY ON THE CHESAPEAKE

BAY

By Susan Elnicki Wade

There’s a bit of pirate in every boater — a love of the water, a sense of adventure, and a wink of defiance about following rules. Maybe that’s why we’re drawn to stories about the swashbucklers who roamed the seas. Movies and folklore tend to focus on pirates of the Caribbean, so most people don’t realize that the Chesapeake Bay hosted its share of scallywags and wenches. But why would they choose the waters of Maryland and Virginia when the Atlantic and Caribbean were teaming with treasure-laden ships and ports to plunder?

48 MARINALIFE.COM

Like a school of piranhas devouring a carcass, pirate crews would strip their prey of sails, rigging and tackle. newer or faster than their own, they’d add it to their fleet. This was a huge source of frustration for the Governors of the Colonies, who would convince the king to send battleships to defend their subjects, only to be outgunned and overpowered by invading sea dogs.

WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT Several factors made the region a hot-spot for pirates. After months of raiding and pillaging, battle-weary buccaneers ran out of supplies and their ships took a beating. The Bay’s isolated necks and coves provided ideal sanctuaries to make repairs and restock stashes of food, water and other necessities. Plus, pirates also didn’t meet much resistance when they cruised into the Bay. In the early 1600s, England and Spain were jockeying for control of the New World, but were often occupied with their own troubles in Europe. Settlers were more concerned about surviving famine, disease and Indian raids. As the Maryland and Virginia colonies flourished, ships passing through the Bay to and from Europe became filled with treasures that made pirates rub their eye patches in glee. Capturing a merchant ship that carried a cargo of tobacco, food, wine, linens, or gold was cause for wild, and often drunken, celebration. Like a school of piranhas devouring a carcass, pirate crews would strip their prey of sails, rigging and tackle. Sometimes they’d set a crippled vessel ablaze, just to watch it burn. Passengers were forced to join pirate crews or tortured to cough up secrets about royal warships in the area. If scallywags overtook a ship that was

Some colonists liked to trade with pirates, exchanging fresh water and provisions for more exotic stolen items such as spices, clothing, or rum. Other colonists became fed up with marauding scoundrels. Take the case of the dreaded Monsieur Peuman, a French privateer infamous for pillaging farms and towns along the Rappahannock River near Port Royal, Va., in the mid-1600s. At wit’s end with Peuman’s looting, villagers formed a search party to capture the pirate. When Peuman entered the river, the townsfolk chased his ship upstream. He veered into a creek to evade them but got stuck in shallow water. The angry mob jumped on board, slew the Frenchman, and named the creek “Peumansend” to mark the place of his demise.

The previous year, a trio of seasoned privateers named Davis, Wafer, and Hinson had joined Captain John Cook in Accomac, Va., to sail the South Seas. “They had attacked and taken towns and ships, crossed the steamy jungles of the Isthmus of Panama on foot, were befriended by savage jungle natives, and wrought unending chaos on the Spanish colonists of Tierre Firme,” says Donald Shomette, in Pirates of the Chesapeake. They cruised around the globe, amassing a considerable pirate’s bounty along the way. Captain Cook passed away during the voyage, but the three buccaneers eventually returned to the Chesapeake Bay, hoping to settle down and retire as wealthy men. Near the mouth of the James River, they were apprehended by Captain Rowe of the Dumbarton and tossed in the Jamestown jail. The deal arranged for their freedom required them to hand over their stolen loot, which Virginia authorities used to establish the College of William and Mary.

THREE PIRATES’ PRIZE IS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE By the late 1600s, England’s King James unleashed a brigade of Royal Navy ships to clear out the scoundrels who terrorized the Chesapeake, Caribbean, and Atlantic. In 1684, the King issued a pardon for pirates who turned themselves in to authorities and rejected the pirate way of life. Winter 2013 49

The Golden Age of Pirates reached a peak from 1690 to 1730. Despite popular perception, “Life aboard a sailing ship was anything but comfortable. Seamen lived in cramped and filthy quarters. Rats gnawed through anything, including a ship’s hull. Food spoiled or became infested, and fresh water turned foul,” says Cindy Vallar, in Pirates and Privateers, The History of Maritime Piracy. Life expectancy for a Chesapeake privateer was short. Fierce storms sunk scores of ships, and diseases such as scurvy, dysentery, and smallpox ran rampant among the crew. But the opportunity to make a mint in pirate booty and live a life of adventure proved irresistible for many fortune-hunters on the Bay. One of the most formidable pirates was Blackbeard (aka Edward Teach). According to legend, he captured 40 ships in his day, and his physical appearance sent fear running down his enemies’ spines. Blackbeard towered at 6-foot 5-inches, with a jet-black beard that grew down his chest and was braided with brightly colored ribbons. A bandolier crossing his chest with six pistols was the finishing touch to his horrifying attire. He drank rum spiced with gunpowder. The Eastern Shore was Blackbeard’s The author cavorting with pirates in Colonial Beach, Va.

favorite haunt for mending damaged ships. He roamed as far north as Pennsylvania, but loved to dodge British ships by hiding in Pagan Creek off the James River or in the remote corners of Lynnhaven Bay. Blackbeard’s pillaging days came to a screeching halt in 1719, when Lt. Robert Maynard fatally shot him in a bloody fight off North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Maynard severed Blackbeard’s head and mounted it on his ship’s bow. For years, the skull hung from a pole where the Hampton and James Rivers meet to warn other pirates of how Chesapeake authorities dealt with unwanted scoundrels. Blackbeard’s unlikely partner in crime was a wealthy landowner, named Stede Bonnet, nicknamed “The Gentleman Pirate.” Even though Bonnet had no experience in sailing, Blackbeard took him under wing, and the polar opposites shared many a conquest along the Atlantic Coast. The notorious William Kidd allegedly worked his way through the Chesapeake Bay, too. Originally commissioned as a British privateer, some reports suggest that he got off track and turned to piracy. In 1700, he was arrested, shipped back to England, and sentenced to death. The rope broke during his execution, but a second attempt at hanging finished the job. For years, his body hung above the Thames River in a cage called a “gibbet,” to discourage others from choosing life as a buccaneer. Kidd accumulated a hefty fortune during his time on the seas, and a portion of his booty was recently discovered on Long Island. But according to legend, not all of his treasure has been found, because he buried it in various spots on the Mid-Atlantic. So, the next time you anchor your boat on a remote neck of the Bay, don’t be afraid to dig in the sand and look for hidden treasure beneath your feet.

The KING of Cakes By Victoria Allman

don’t know why I followed the drunk down First Street and around the corner. It’s not something I would normally do, but the more I listened to the man slur and watched him stumble over loose bricks, the more I was certain he was leading me to the right spot. “Are you sure this is a good idea?” Patrick asked. “How could it not be?” He rolled his eyes, but followed the man just the same. We’d been married long enough for him to know I would not be deterred. It was Mardi Gras in New Orleans. We’d been tasting King Cakes since January 6, the day of the Epiphany and the official start of the carnival, when stores started selling them for the season. Each

The iconic New Orleans brass music flows through the streets, into your ears, and on through your soul, putting a smile on your face and a rhythm in your step.

one was different, some more cinnamon roll-like, some reminiscent of a Danish pastry, but each one decorated with purple, gold, and green to signify justice, faith and power. The cakes were quickly becoming my favorite treat with afternoon coffee. I was worried they’d disappear after Mardi Gras, and I’d have to wait until the next year to enjoy them again. We’d met the man while he and his family cheered, hollered, and pleaded with the passing parade floats to be thrown some beads. Their section of the street was cordoned off with a tent, foldout chairs, and plastic tables laden with food and drink. Children were perched in the front row on ladders with special box seats constructed for the occasion. They were serious parade-followers and had been celebrating Mardi Gras in this location every year since the man was a boy. “The year of Katrina was the best parade,” he’d told me earlier, before he’d consumed so much celebrating. “It wasn’t big, but it had heart.” He’d lived his whole life in New Orleans and had yet to miss a year of Mardi Gras. If anyone should

know where to get the best King Cake than he should. “My favorite King Cake is Randazz-zzzz-zzo’s.” The man’s pockmarked cheeks puffed out like a trombone player as he worked the wet words and ran out of air on the z’s. I was pretty sure the name was not that long. “They’s use sprinkles on top.” It was true. We’d had a Randazzo King Cake last week. The spongy light cake-like bread was covered in super-sweet icing and the colorful sprinkles of the ubiquitous colors. It was the best we’d had so far. But, Randazzos was across the water of Lake Pontchatrain in Slidell, and we were in New Orleans’ Garden District watching one of the many parades of the season. For some reason, it seemed perfectly natural to be following a complete stranger around corners and down the streets lined with the large Southern homes that inspired Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire to the closest next-best-thing to the famed Randazzos. The man tripped over the roots of a live oak covered in moss and ferns that pushed the bricks of the pavement up and out of place as it grew and fumbled into a woman

1. In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine warm water, yeast, sugar and eggs. Let stand for 10 minutes to start the yeast bubbling. Add the flour, sugar, butter and sea salt and knead with a dough hook on medium speed for 10 minutes until a soft, smooth dough is formed.

4. Spread half the cream cheese on the dough leaving a 1-inch seam at the top long end of the dough. Add half the strawberry jam to the top of that.

5. Roll dough in a jellyroll toward the seam starting with the long end. Place dough, seam down, on a baking sheet and join the ends to form a circle. Pinch the ends together to seal. Repeat with remaining dough.

Bright red alcohol sloshed out of the hurricane glass she carried and stained the woman’s t-shirt with a stick figure on the front and the words “Drunk #2.” It seemed fitting. “Scuze me,” he slurred. I don’t think she even noticed. “I like this one ‘cause they don’t … they don’t …” He stopped in mid-stride and looked up to the sky above for the word he was searching for. He wrapped his hands over his forearms in a tangle that took all his concentration to unwind. “You know …” He turned back to me

and his glassy eyes focused on my braid. “That!” He reached out and grabbed my hair in his fingers. “It’s not a braided bread?” I filled in the words for him. He shook his head and confetti from the parade fell from his scraggly locks. “No, braiding cinnamon into it makes them messy to eat,” he whispered to me like it was an old family secret he passed on. I looked down at his untucked Saints jersey covered in spilled gumbo, the splatters of muddy ground from the rain the previous day, and the muddle of beads coiled around his neck. He’d been sucking on crawfish all afternoon along with the local Abita beer and butter glistened his chin. No, we wouldn’t want anything messy. Yet, still I followed him. Because truthfully, he was right. I, too, had heard how good Sucre’s King Cakes were and when I asked where I could get one to bring home, he offered to take me. It seemed reasonable

at the time. Sucre was bright and trendy, the Starbucks of pastry shops; it took all my willpower to walk away with just one cake and a few macarons to snack on in the car home. Boxes and boxes of the hand-rolled, freshly-baked cakes were stacked along the counter. I was not the only person in search of the Mardi Gras specialty that day. We retreated from the jam-packed store to the sidewalk to share our King Cake with the man. He was right, it was good. The yeasted dough cake was light and spongy and glazed with a thin silvery metallic icing that faded from green to gold to purple. It wasn’t as sweet as other versions I’d tasted, but sitting there, in the center of New Orleans, in the middle of Mardi Gras, feeling festive and full, it was the best King Cake experience I’d had all season. m l To view this article online, visit marinalife.com/kingcake.

Come Sail Away! Winter Cold Fronts Bring Hoards of Sailfish to the Florida Keys! By Jeff Merrill

Winter cold fronts send chills up the spines of those who live in colder climates of the country. These same fronts play a major role in the winter fishing activity off the Florida Keys where during the months of December through March sailfish are the prime target. Key Largo lies at the doorstep of the Florida Keys where the Overseas Highway begins its 126 mile picturesque journey to Key West. The northernmost Key in this fragile island chain, Key Largo also offers some of the best sailfish action in the Keys. Sailfish are great light-tackle billfish and 20-pound class spin or conventional gear is all you’ll need. High-speed reels are preferred so line can be retrieved in a hurry when a feisty sailfish turns to the boat. The leader system is simple and includes a five-foot Bimini Twist to which a 15-foot, 40- or 50-pound test fluorocarbon leader is attached with a Yucatan Knot. Non-offset circle hooks have played a major role in the ever-growing sailfish population as nearly all sailfish are released alive. Depending on the size of the bait, choose anywhere from a 5/0 to 7/0 and use a Snell to The winter sailfish bite off Key Largo ranks among the best Florida has to offer.

affix the hook to the leader. In the Keys it’s mostly a live bait fishery for sailfish where pilchards, sardines, ballyhoo, and goggle eyes are the primary bait. Many pros catch and pen their bait for the entire season though weekend anglers may find it easier to buy bait from boats which congregate around the marinas or can be hailed on the radio. A visit to any of the popular tackle shops in the Keys can yield information on where to obtain bait. While slow-trolling live ballyhoo offers the best shot at a sailfish in early winter, look for goggle eyes and pilchards dangling from kites to draw more strikes during January through March. Sailfish do have their preferred haunts where they can often be found in numbers. Look for deep blue water, birds, bait, rips and color changes. Wrecks and reefs in water from 150-300 feet deep are a good starting point and it’s a short run to this structure when fishing out of Key Largo. Once on the reef, consider a four-rod spread with two lines in the ‘riggers placed 75-100 feet behind the boat and two flat lines placed anywhere from 30-50 feet behind the boat. Reels, whether conventional or spinning, are in free spool and conventional reels have the clicker on while spinning reels use a piece of rigging wire to secure the line yet allow it to free spool once the bait is picked up. Kites offer a distinct advantage on windy days as they keep the bait right on the surface where it frantically sends distress signals through the water. Most sailfish pros utilize two kites run through the ‘riggers to widen the spread. Release clips are

placed 75 feet apart on the kite line and depending on wind conditions kites should be 75 to 200 feet behind the boat. When using kites it’s all in the presentation as the live bait sits perfectly on the surface. Conventional reels are set in free spool with the clicker on and spinning reels are set with bail open and rigging wire positioned to hold line on the spool. Fluorescent line markers, also called kite floats, or colorful ribbons tied to the fishing line are set about 15 feet above the bait so the angler can see where the bait is on the surface. Often from the bridge or tower it’s possible to see the fish eat the bait and all the angler needs to do after a five count is close the bail or engage the reel and let the circle hook sink in the corner of the mouth. If it’s a blind bite, a short drop back is all that’s required and once line starts coming off the spool the angler should be prepared to engage the reel because the fish’s mouth is closed, it’s swimming away and has eaten the bait.

CAPTAIN’S TIPS

Anchoring Techniques for the Active Boater Mile Hammock Bay at sunset during the fall migration south.

By Chuck Baier

he subject of anchors and anchoring techniques generates passionate discussion. Here is what has worked best for us in thousands of miles and at countless anchorages, in almost every bottom type and sea condition. Try and choose the best anchor for the bottom conditions you’ll be in. Consider if you’ll be protected from wind and seas. Rock or coral on the bottom with a light layer of sand will make it difficult to get a good anchor set. In very soft mud, the anchor may need to be allowed to settle for a period of time before you attempt to set it by backing down.

The rode is almost as important as the anchor itself. Use one that’s either all chain or a combination of chain and line. For anchoring in rock or coral, all-chain is best, since line can easily chafe through quickly. A chain and line combination is the most common, but a sufficient amount of chain is essential for success. Use a length of chain equal to the length of your boat, or longer. We carry 50 feet of chain plus 150 feet of line. When you’re getting ready to drop anchor, make note of the wind’s direction and speed, and how the current is flowing. These all affect how the boat will lay on the anchor.

Susan Landry and Chuck Baier recently formed Beach House Publications and just released the first in a series that they authored, The Great Book of Anchorages: Hampton Roads/Norfolk to Key West. They have lived aboard and cruised extensively for more than 20 years. Their next book, about anchoring in the Bahamas, should be available later this year. 66 MARINALIFE.COM

Scout where you plan to drop the hook. Take note of other boats in the anchorage and look for a spot near boats like yours. Powerboats, which are more affected by wind, will swing differently than sailboats, which are more likely to be affected by current. If wind and current are opposed, stop the boat and see how it will sit in those conditions. Consider the swinging room of your boat once the proper rode amount is deployed and determine whether you might swing where you shouldn’t. Once you’ve chosen your spot, come to a full stop drop and lower the anchor until it hits bottom. Our preferred scope in most conditions is 7 to 1 when using a chain and line combination. Fall back into neutral, and pay out the anchor rode as you go. Don’t allow rode to pile on top of and foul the anchor. Calculate the scope based on the depth of the water plus the distance from

the anchor roller to the water. If the depth is 10 feet and the bow roller is 5 feet off the water, calculate scope based on 15 feet. Once the desired scope is paid out, shift the boat into reverse at idle. Watch the anchor line as it gets tight and lay your hand on it. If it feels like it’s skipping across the bottom, it’s not yet set. The anchor could be fouled or you may not have enough scope out. If the boat stops in reverse idle, it’s time to ease up on the throttle a bit. If set properly, the boat will stop and settle into one spot. Lining up objects ashore as a visual will tell you if you are set. If the distance between them changes, you may be dragging. You may have to reset the anchor to get it right. Ease back on the throttle slowly once you are set. To raise anchor, drive forward slowly until the rode is retrieved. Do not use a power windlass to pull the boat up to the

anchor. Once the bow of the boat is directly over the anchor, pulling straight up should break it loose. If not, drive the boat forward slowly to break it out, then it can be retrieved. Practice under calm conditions until you feel comfortable in your technique and have confidence in your ground tackle. To know how much anchor rode is out, you can paint lines on the rode, but if you anchor a lot, the paint is gone in short order. Instead, use 1-inch strips of nylon webbing, sewn through the links in the chain or the twist in the lines, every 25 feet (1 at 25, 2 at 50 and so on). You can tell how much is out, even in the dark. You can also mark the rode with plastic wire ties, but these can break going through the windlass. m l Visit marinalife.com/anchoring to view this article online.

Anchoring tips: > Cleat the anchor line to a strong point on the boat. > Do not tangle body parts, fingers, or hair in the anchor line while deploying or retrieving the rode.Take extra care if you have an electric windlass. > Have a good form of communication between the helmsperson and the person on the foredeck, such as two-way radio headsets.

> Check the tides to ensure that you won’t be aground at low tide, and set your scope based on the high tide. > Check your weather resources so you’ll know what’s coming. > Don’t let the chain and rode pile up on top of the anchor on the bottom. > Don’t anchor on top of other boats — give everyone room.

Today â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low and ultra-low sulfur diesel

fuels offer poor lubricity, contain more moisture, destabilize rapidly and are more susceptible to bacteria growth. Because sulfur in diesel helped to lubricate the fuel system, lower sulfur diesel can cause premature injector and fuel pump wear and failure.

ValvTect Marine Diesel contains BioGuard TM biocide, VT 101 Lubricity improver, water dispersant, corrosion inhibitor, cetane improver and stabilizer. It also contains Diesel Guard detergent that cleans-up injector deposits (gunk) and has been found to help improve fuel economy as much as 6% or more. VALVTECT MARINE DIESEL with BIOGUARD TM
