Letters Delight, wonder in the kids’ faces The July issue of Points East is superb, and thanks for finally publishing a mystery harbor I recognize – Bristol, R.I., from the Herreshoff dock.

But what prompted me to write this was the photographer’s superb eye for a photo: That cover shot is just amazing. It’s really and truly quintessential New England in every way, from the conservative, grown-uplady attire that the young girl is wearing, which takes us back in spirit to an earlier age, to the lad in his

Black Dog T-shirt, both of them sharing the helm.

But most of all, their expressions, which make the photo and captured them at the perfect moment. Both kids’ faces reflect the combined delight and sense of wonder they are feeling in the moment, steering that gundalow together, sharing the experience (although the girl, a few years older and probably the lad’s sister, has the real control of the wheel! Thus is it always).

Oh to be a kid again and feel that excitement of discovery – something in this case that those two youngsters will probably remember the rest of their lives.

It’s a charming scene, and there is a sweetness about it that makes one happy just to look at it. This is one picture that is indeed worth a thousand words – even more.

Capt. Michael L. Martel Bristol, R.I.

Good fortune after Arthur John Kantor shot this image as the after-effects of Hurricane Arthur pulled away from the Longshore Sailing School, in Westport, Conn., on July 4. JK has been running the school since 1965, when the town of Westport owned it, and he has owned it since 1975.

Providence is Official Tall Ship Thank you for the article in Points East (“Magical History Tours,” July). Providence really needs the attention, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to remind the community of her activities.

There is however a correction: The article reads (“. . . the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry is the state’s official Tall Ship.” This is not correct. This is very important as the OHP has tried to take our titles. Alas, the State of Rhode Island protected Providence’s titles with a phone call from our state representative to inform us and, in turn, gave OHP the official status of Official Sailing Education Vessel.

I love Tall Ships, and it’s great there is interest in a new one, but we cannot let the existing Tall Ships be left behind.

Nichole Raab Tall Ship Providence Newport, R.I. Editor’s note: We regret that misinformation about the Providence (a wonderful vessel I have seen as far afield as the Great Lakes, some of whose builders I knew) was published in Points East. But we are confused, Nichole. The Perry’s website refers to the OHP as “Rhode Island’s Tall Ship.” Your website refers to the Providence as the “state-appointed Official Flagship and Official Sailing Ambassador.” Can someone help clarify this?

Mary loves ‘Magical History Tour’ I was wowed by your jam-packed July issue. Just wanted to let you know, from a non-nautical type, that I loved the “Magical History Tour” by Sue Cornell, and I am even familiar with several of the vessels you profiled. And, of course, many thanks for listing Pumpout facilities in Maine, including ours. Happy sailing.

Mary M. Cerullo, Associate Director Friends of Casco Bay South Portland, Maine

The Brig The editor is once again in The Brig, that dark, dank and pitiless house of correction where staffers can contemplate their attention lapses. For the next three weeks, it’s hardtack and water for this man, who allowed author David Stanwood’s bio note to appear at the end of Greg Coppa’s fascinating July Last Word, “100 Years of Herrshoff 121⁄2s.”

The bio should have read: Greg Coppa has been sailing on Narragansett Bay for over 50 years in Blue Jays, Lightnings, Ensigns, assorted Bristols and Pearsons, and most recently in a Sabre 28, Coppacetic. He is a Presidential Awardee in Science (1992) and an Albert Einstein Congressional Fellow (1996), and he participated in a Fulbright program in Hanamaki and Morioka, Japan (1997). Apologies to both Greg and David.

MYSTERY HARBOR/And th e winner is...

‘Bristol fashion’ was the hint for Mystery Harbor Bristol, R.I. Your clue (“It’s a kind of fashion”) led me to believe that this is the answer. I think the picture was taken near the Herreshoff Marine Museum.

But with any clue, I had to prepare an appropriate answer. I paused to peruse the picture and find preferred prose.

“Bristol fashion” could make a Boston Brahmin burst a blood vessel. But as I remember, “Bristol fashion” had to do with varnish. Varnish has vanished from my vessel.

The Bristol Yacht Club has the best dinghy docks I have ever seen. The docks are slanted down to the water’s edge. Dinghies can be pulled up on them, leaving the bottom clean and the drain open.

And there are five of them. I hope my yacht club gets the idea to copy this design.

Normally, my sailing is north of the Cape, and in Maine waters. When we bought a new (used) boat (a Freedom 35), we wanted to take it to Warren River Boatworks for some changes. We needed a place to moor overnight on the way. I borrowed a mooring in Bristol from another Blue Water Sailing Club member.

The harbor is easy to enter and we spent a quiet night.

After that, we have visited Warren and Bristol several times by car. There are restaurants for every taste. I still drive down regularly, as I take our sails to Thurston Quantum Sails in Bristol.

And that is how I was able to recognize the view from the museum.

Stephen Lee S/v Salacia Marblehead, Mass.

Editor’s note: According to “The Dictionary of Nautical Literacy” (International Marine, 2001), the accolade “Bristol fashion” was first used in the seaport of Bristol, England – in the phrase “shipshape and Bristol fashion”– in reference to a vessel or detail maintained or executed in a seamanlike manner. “The phrase also [is] applied to Bristol, R.I., home to the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company, which served as one of America’s leading yachting centers.”

Last there for the ’08 J/30 N/As I believe that is Bristol (R.I.) Harbor. The last time we were there was for the 2008 J/30 North Americans.

My family is from Bristol, and some still live there. I was the delivery crew for a J/30 out of Salem.

Jon Maciel Haverhill, Mass.

My boat is moored off the dock Bristol, R.I., is the Mystery Harbor, and my boat, CAVU, is moored right off the dock to the left. I already have a nice Points East hat.

Perspectives Can the Grim Reaper swim? s we rounded Cape Ann and left the twin towers of Thacher Island astern, my old friend Bryan reached into his pocket, pulled out a fist full of change, and threw the coins over the side. I gave him a quizzical look. “Change doesn’t belong at sea,” he said, as he settled his 220-pound frame back down in tiny Chang Ho’s cockpit.

“Well, you should have saved one coin,” I said.

He gave me that quizzical look right back.

“Why, some kind of superstition thing?”

“Well, sort of.” I paused and adjusted the tiller pilot a bit to put the 25-foot Cape Dory sloop on our 100-plus-mile course, directly to Matinicus Island, one of the more remote inhabited Maine coast islands. “We’ll need that coin if we go down,” I continued.

“Huh?” “So we can flip for it.”

A

Quizzical look number three.

“Flip for what?”

“For our lives; well, to be precise, for your life or my life. You see, I only have one survival suit on board.”

“You’re kidding, right?”

“Hell, Bryan, they’re 300 bucks apiece.”

“And what am I worth, then?”

I shrugged. “Well, you’re a darned good friend, but I do have other friends, so if anything happens … well, you know. And I said we’d flip for it.”

Anyway, it never came to that.

Thinking about drowning isn’t fun, but the physiology of drowning is pretty interesting. But we won’t go there today. If you’re really interested, there’s an informative and rather graphic chapter in Sebastian Junger’s classic, “The Perfect Storm.”

at age five when our family cruising cutter was rafted up with Mr. and Mrs. Partridge’s 43-foot Matthews cabin cruiser. We were anchored for the evening in a cozy cove behind World’s End in Hingham, Mass. I awoke to the sound of a several small splashes, made distinct by the absolute stillness of the dawning day.

Excited about fishing, I crept quietly past my parents’ bunks, climbed the cabin ladder, dutifully donned my lifejacket, grabbed my drop line and can of worms from the cabin-top, and tiptoed along the deck to a place along the rail that had the biggest space between the fenders of the two rafted boats. It was so quiet that I could hear light snoring sounds through the open portholes of both vessels.

After baiting my hook with a choice, fat worm, I unwound my drop line, adjusted the sinker a bit, and lowered it all into the darkness of the water between the two hulls. I waited, gently lifting my sinker up and down a foot or so off the bottom, when something flashed by between the hulls. Excited, I got down on my stomach and peered into the depths. But my bulky old fashioned lifejacket prevented me from squeezing between the shrouds and other rigging.

I needed to get closer to the water, so I removed my lifejacket and leaned lower, my belt buckle hooked on the boat’s big toerail. I leaned too far. When the buckle slipped over the rail, the rest of me slipped, too, and I followed the route of my drop line. The waters of the quiet cove swallowed me – hook, line and sinker.

Odd, but it was even quieter down there, after I’d finished with my panicked flailing. Kind of peaceful, actually. Then, mysteriously, I rose upward from one strong, steady pull on the top of my head. It was the large hand of Mr. Partridge grabbing my hair. He had just arisen to make coffee, when he thought he’d heard a splash.

There were other close calls as my waterborne life continued, but I’ll spare you the details. To this day, I don’t like swimming, preferring to be on the water and not in it. When I am in it, which is rarely due to recreational desire, it’s usually to free a line on a prop or scrub the waterline. Even then, I’m often looking over my shoulder, figuring the Grim Reaper is only a half-stroke behind me.

I still have the one survival suit, now aboard Elsa, my current boat. Other than my son and daughter trying it out in a swimming pool years ago, it’s never seen the light of day nor felt the water. I’ve made only one modification: In the little round zipper lubricant container clipped to the suit’s bag, I’ve added a coin. Just to be fair, in case we go down.

Oh, one last thing: Soon I’ll be shoving off for my usual trek to Maine, and I do need crew. Any takers?

GUEST

PERSPECTIVE/Andrew

T. Osbor ne

How did Puggy know? eorge Shiverick descended from the family which owned the Shiverick Shipyard near Sesuit Harbor in Barnstable, Mass. They were best known for building clipper ships and had their heyday in the 1850s. Many of the clippers then were “one-way” ships – sailing around the Horn and either being lost there or abandoned in San Francisco or Los Angeles.

George moved to Kingston, Mass., from the Cape and started up a boatyard on the Jones River, which flows into Kingston Bay. There he became legendary in yachting circles for building fast sloops. It is said that at one time the entire Duxbury Yacht Club racing-sailboat team consisted of Shiverick boats. But he also built many pleasure and fishing boats, and retired in 1940 saying, “No one will pay $300 to $400 anymore for a quality boat.”

My cousin’s husband, Warren, had in the 1950s and ’60s a 1939 20-foot Shiverick cuddy cabin boat named Snork with a small Gray Marine engine. We often fished from it off Gurnet Point, at the end of Duxbury Beach, with Warren’s ever-present female boxer Puggy. We were far enough out as to barely see The Gurnet on a hazy day in August – the sea glassy, but with tall rolling swells from a storm far offshore – when Puggy jumped up and began looking intently to the east and barking furiously.

We looked and looked as she went crazy and eventually saw a blow of spray about a quarter mile away – unmistakably a whale. But what really concerned us was that the next one was much closer and on a

G

track directly toward us. Puggy was now practically turning inside out with excitement, and we were wondering if the next surface and blow would be right under us, but it came well off our bow to the south, and we saw no more sign of it.

Puggy quickly forgot her excitement, and when we weren’t watching, ate three or four mackerel pretty much whole. We only caught on when we saw the tail of the last one disappearing down her gullet. But, to this day, we’ve wondered, How did she know? Way before we had any inkling, Puggy knew that whale was out there. We think she may have heard some whalecommunication sounds beyond the range of our human ears. We don’t think it was the blow, because other boats had passed by and she never even lifted an eyebrow, and besides, she wasn’t even looking.

Must have been – had to have been – what she heard as she lay with her ear to the hull. Even more amazing, she knew exactly which way to look.

Snork nearly rotted away full of leaves and squirrel nests in a backyard in Kingston, but she was bought for restoration by a Duxbury boatyard in the 1980s. I lost track of her then.

Andrew has had a mooring in the same mooring spot on Kingston Bay for 60 years. He is a retired marine engineer and worked in shipyards and for a propeller manufacturer. He also was in the legal department of an oilfield-services company. He is married, has two grown children, two grandsons, and a cat, Julie Ann.

Just when you think . . . ust when you think there are no more surprises left for you. The Coast of Maine always has one more trick up her sleeve.

It is Aug. 30, about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Marty and I have spent the day shuffling cars between Rockland, Maine, and Portsmouth, N.H. This is the weekend that we move Skiya from Rockland to her other home in Portsmouth. We are always a little sad to leave Penobscot Bay, but now it is time to say good-bye for another season.

With all of our errands accomplished, there is really no good reason to spend tonight in Rockland. I’m mentally in “delivery mode,” and we can save a good three hours if we leave now and head down to Tenants Harbor. The only problem is, the wind is blowing about 15 knots from the southwest and the tide is just starting to pull in. Under the best of circumstances, this means a longer trip than originally planned. But, what the heck, I don’t feel like sitting here.

Marty feels basically the same, and in short order we are on our way. We put the mainsail up at the mooring, and now we are moving out of the harbor with the wind

on our quarter. Everything is fine, except the wind is building and the first bit of fog is snaking around Owls Head. Maybe this is not the best of plans. I start to think about alternative anchorages along Muscle Ridge.

As we round Owls Head, any thoughts of sailing to Tenants are dashed. The apparent wind is now 25 and gusting to 30 right on our nose. The engine gets cranked up and I take a deep reef in the mainsail.

If Skiya has an Achilles heel it’s an undersized engine for situations like this. We now have the wind against us, and to add to the fun, we are against a good two knots of current. Oh, and just when you start to think this really sucks, here comes the fog to make it more interesting.

Now we need to make a decision: Turn around and head back to Rockland or plod along for six more miles and anchor at High and Dix at the top of Muscle Ridge.

We decide on High and Dix and continue on making about two to three knots over the bottom.

To our surprise, we are not the only boat seeking shelter here. There is a trawler already anchored, and another sailboat limps in from the opposite direction. We

Marty is the first to say what I’m already thinking: Here comes dinner.

Sure enough, this beautiful old launch pulls along the side of Skiya. This is when we meet Reilly Harvey, Captain and Chef of Mainstay Provisions. Reilly instantly becomes our best friend. Anyone who shows up on a night like this to feed us is OK in my book.

To our amazement Reilly prepares our dinner on the transom of her launch. Large pots are set to boil, and the shellfish is cooked to perfection. All of her offerings, listed on a chalkboard, are fresh and locally obtained.

While the pots are boiling, we get a chance to chat with Reilly. She has been cooking like this all summer. She also does catering jobs, and many of the local island homes use her cheffing talents for parties. She told us that, in the winter months, she cooks at one of the restaurants in Rockland.

When Reilly found out that this night was Marty’s birthday, she insisted on providing the dessert, a handheld blueberry pie confection, at no charge. Needless to say it was a very special evening, and we were so pleased to have made a new friend on the coast of Maine.

Anyone traveling to Maine this summer should put this info in their logbook: Reilly Harvey, Mainstay Provisions, 207-691-9227, www.mainstayprovisions.com.

News Boatbound unites boat owners and renters If you’ve ever owned a boat, you know the excitement that comes with the start of boating season and the feeling of freedom that comes as you leave the dock. You know the peace you can only achieve on the open water, and the happiness that comes with spending idle hours with family and friends.

You also know the dreaded feeling of paying to maintain a boat, because, let’s face it, owning a boat can be really, really expensive.

But this season, a “pier-to-pier” boat rental marketplace, Boatbound, is setting out to change that.

Boatbound allows boatless boat lovers to rent boats from boat owners when they aren’t using them. It’s a win-win situation, as the boat owner can offset the cost of boat ownership by bringing in some welcome new revenue, and renters are able to get out on the water in an accessible and affordable way.

C.W. Morgan makes a call to the Vineyard

By Marilyn P. Brigham For Points East If you’ve been following the 38th voyage of the 173-year-old barque, the Charles W. Morgan, you know that she has been fully restored by the Mystic Seaport Museum, has visited the ports of New London, Conn., and Newport, R.I., and recently left Vineyard Haven, Mass., bound for New Bedford, her old homeport.

The Charles W. Morgan had never sailed to Martha’s Vineyard before, but Vineyarders were a proud part of her history. Her first captain was from Martha’s Vineyard, as were several other of the Morgan’s captains. Many of her sailors and crewmen, including Wampanoag Indian MORGAN, continued on Page 20

Martha's Vineyard's connection with the recently restored Charles W. Morgan runs deep: the Morgan's first captain was a Vineyarder, and many of her crew were, as well, including Wampanoag Indian harpooners.

MORGAN, continued from Page 19 harpooners, also hailed from the Island. The Charles W. Morgan’s June visit to Vineyard Haven commemorated and celebrated Vineyarders’ contributions to her successful and lucrative career.

A flotilla of Vineyard boats met the Morgan as she sailed past Gay Head from Newport, gaining in number as she rounded West Chop and headed towards Vineyard Haven harbor. She spent several days at the dock, so that Vineyarders and visitors alike could tour her and the several whaling and marine exhibitions that surrounded her on shore. Just off her decks, would-be seamen took turns learning how to row the whaleboats.

Later this summer, she sails to Provincetown, visits the Stellwagen Bank National Marine (right whale) Sanctuary, sails to Boston, where she’ll be tied up next to the USS Constitution, and, on the way back to Connecticut, she stops at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Cape Cod Canal.

It was a thrilling experience to see the Morgan and marvel at her long history and the time and talent that went into making her seaworthy once more. This voyage, one of commemoration of the past and marine education for the future, is perhaps her most important one. Try to catch a glimpse of her under sail or at port, or visit her when she is back at Mystic. FMI: www.mysticseaport.org.

But how does the Morgan sail?

The 1841 whaleship Charles W. Morgan sailed for the first time in almost a century on Sat., June 7, on the first day of sea trials for her 38th voyage. The ship cast off from City Pier in New London at 9:30 a.m. and proceeded out onto Long Island Sound, where she spent the day conducting sail training drills and maneuvers. She returned to New London at 3:30 p.m.

“The ship exceeded all expectations and performed wonderfully. She is faster than we thought she would be, she turns easier, and she handles really well. We could not be more pleased,” said Capt. Kip Files, the 22nd master of the Morgan.

“Capt. Files told me that once out of Quicks Hole from the Vineyard, he gave her her head and she hit speeds purported to be around eight knots, without even trying or full sails,” reported William A. Lawrence II, of South Dartmouth, Mass. “There will be higher numbers, the captain said. I imagine he will let her fly when she starts to cruise the Stellwagen Bank.

“She is so heavy that it takes quite while to bring her up to speed, Capt. Files told me. He said she will have to return to New London at the end of the cruise to de-ballast (lead) so she can return up the Mystic River.”

“There is no one alive today who has sailed one of these whaleships who can tell us how they perform,” said Capt.

Files, “so we really learned a lot today. We have a great voyage ahead of us.”

USCG facilitates rescue of solo Belgian sailor On June 23, Coast Guard crews coordinated with commercial vessels to rescue a man approximately 450 miles southeast of Cape Cod, Mass. The 1st Coast Guard District Command Center in Boston received notification at 9:30 p.m., Sunday June 22 from the Joint Rescue Coordination Center in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that the Belgium-flagged 42-foot sailing vessel Vagrant, with one person on board, was taking on water at a rate of one gallon-per-hour and was experiencing heavy winds and seas.

When the vessel missed scheduled satellite phone calls Monday morning, the Coast Guard launched an HC-144 Ocean Sentry from Air Station Cape Cod and a C-130 Hercules aircraft from Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C. to try to locate the vessel. The USS New York and multiple

commercial vessels also responded to assist.

The C-130 crew spotted the sailing vessel adrift with tattered sails. Unable to raise the vessel on the radio, the C-130 dropped a communications package, but 40-knot winds and 16-foot seas prevented the sole crewmember from the Vagrant from recovering it. The motor vessel Kuala Lumpur Express was the first commercial vessel on scene, and made a close quarters pass to formulate a rescue plan. The motor vessel Hoegh Maputo arrived for secondary support.

The crew of the Kuala Lumpur Express made a second pass, and lowered a small boat to extract the man from the vessel. The crew reported that the man was in good health and uninjured.

‘Good shepherds’ come to aid of Newport-Bermuda raceboat With their big fleets, the 635-mile Newport Bermuda Races usually have a few retirements. This year, among the 164 starters, 10 teams dropped out, mostly due to relatively small but nagging gear failures, constraints on the crew’s schedule, or (to quote one competitor) “lack of forward progress.” But also this year, a threat of serious damage led to an extraordinary response.

Halfway into the race, the bottom bearing of the rudder broke on the Taylor 41 Wandrian, a Class 3 entry hailing from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and sailed by Bill Tucker and eight other Canadian sailors.

Tucker put a secondary “dam” in place to hold out the water. The crew cut out the bottom of a bailing bucket, split the remaining bucket in two, secured the two pieces around the rudder-post with 4200 adhesive, finished off the dam with silicone to fill remaining the cracks and holes – and crossed their fingers.

Taylor succinctly described the danger after the boat pulled up to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club pier on Wednesday morning: “Our challenge was this: If the rudder-post broke, we’d have a six-inch hole in the bottom of the boat.” All this 300 miles from the nearest shore.

Deciding to continue on to Bermuda and request assistance from another vessel, Tucker made calls over VHF radio at 12:30 p.m. EDT on Sunday, June 22. Due to a weak connection, the transmission was not ideal, but his message was heard by Rocket Science, a Class 4 entry owned and sailed by Rick Oricchio. Oricchio established a radio watch to check in regularly with Wandrian, and got in touch with the race’s Fleet Communications Office.

As the FCO learned of Wandrian’s problems on Sunday afternoon, so did the crews of two other boats less than five miles away. They happened to be two classic wooden yachts designed by Sparkman & Stephens: the

The Canadian crew of Wandrian, a Taylor 41, feared the worst after the bottom bearing of their rudder broke 300 miles from shore.

68-foot 1938 yawl Black Watch, commanded by John Melvin, and the 52-foot 1930 yawl Dorade, whose owner and skipper is Matt Brooks.

Black Watch’s afterguard – Melvin, navigator Peter Rugg, and watch captains Lars Forsberg and Jamie Cummiskey – decided that their larger vessel was best qualified to stand by and escort Wandrian to Bermuda.

Dorade continued racing while her big cousin began the voyage in her new role as Wandrian’s shadow.

The two crews engaged in hourly radio communications, with regular reports to the race Fleet Communications Office. Meanwhile, Black Watch’s sailors wrestled with an unfamiliar seamanship problem: how to sail slowly enough to shepherd a smaller boat. In the frequent calms, the two boats doused headsails and turned on engines. The sight of two such different sailing yachts powering side by side so far out in the ocean befuddled their competitors.

This shepherd-and-sheep relationship continued until the two boats neared St. David’s Head in the early hours of Wednesday and Black Watch sailed across the finish line at 2:22 a.m. Wednesday morning, nearly two and a half days after her crew volunteered for this remarkable assignment.

Briefly Investigators pinpoint cause of Y.C. fire

R.I. to receive $7.5M in Federal aid

Shortly before midnight on June 12, a three-alarm fire erupted at the Eastern Yacht Club in Marblehead, Mass. Investigators determined the cause to be an electrical problem, specifically “resistance heating” at a junction box serving several chandeliers on the second floor.

Firefighters were dispatched to the club at 11:56 p.m. Thursday, arriving three minutes later. A second alarm was quickly struck when Capt. Elizabeth Wilson, who served as incident commander until Chief Jason Gilliland arrived on scene, saw flames on the outside of the building and spreading into the eaves. The third alarm was struck shortly after 1 a.m., as firefighters opened up the building’s roof to battle the flames.

While the fire itself was contained to the attic and a couple of rooms on the third floor, the building sustained extensive water damage from the building’s sprinkler system, as the gushing water brought down ceilings.

The clubhouse at the Eastern Yacht club dates back to 1881, and contains irreplaceable items such as paintings and model boats.

Rhode Island is slated to receive $7.5 million in Federal aid intended to make the state and its coastline more resilient to severe weather. The funds are part of $102.7 million that the U.S. Department of the Interior announced it will be distributing in matching grants for East Coast resiliency projects. The largest Rhode Island grant will go toward the $3.25-million restoration of a 30-acre marsh at Ninigret Pond within the pond’s barrier and coastal lagoon.

Middletown won a grant for a $2.3-million project to restore habitat in the Maidford River area of Sachuest Bay. The project’s goals include improving water quality, fish and wildlife habitats and beach dunes.

The University of Rhode Island won a $870,000 grant to finance its continuing participation in the state’s development of the so-called Beach SAMP (strategic area management plan). An additional $1.3 million has been earmarked for various other resilency studies in Rhode Island, as well as several multi-state storm-preparedness studies that involve Rhode Island.

By Kevin Saulnier For Points East ow do you find a new cruising destination? Yes, I know, this gives us all pause. Do we simply revisit the old harbors and rivers, maybe hitting them from a different angle, or do we just take a chance? Maybe we read that certain article that convinces us to take a chance.

I happened to find a great destination without even knowing it: I simply moved there. That locale would be Westport, Mass., and I am talking about the Westport River and Westport Harbor.

But it wasn’t really as simple as that. I was keeping my 33-foot Grady-White powerboat, Billou, in Padanaram Harbor in South Dartmouth, Mass., and enjoyed a great location with short rides to the Elizabeth Islands. Even though I lived in Westport, when I cruised Buzzards Bay and Rhode Island Sound, I wouldn’t even give Westport Harbor and river a thought. I would just cruise down the middle of Buzzards Bay and pass right by Westport on my way to Newport or Block Island. The thing is, unless one is looking for the mouth of the Westport Harbor, one can easily miss it.

This one particular day, I was working in my yard and had a chance encounter with a newly arrived neighbor. Predictable small talk ensued until we realized that we both owned boats and

fished a lot. He asked where I kept my boat, I told him, and he questioned why I didn’t call Westport Harbor my homeport. I told him that, for some reason, I never checked it out. He simply smiled and said, “Let’s have a look around, shall we?” That, my friends, is what you call a defining moment.

Well, after that initial cruise and a few more after that, I moved my boat to the Westport River the following year, and have been cruising, fishing and exploring every nook and cranny for the last five years.

The Westport River is made up of two parts, the East Branch and the West Branch. These branches meet and create Westport Harbor. The harbor has a lot to offer, with restaurants, moorings and beaches; it’s a place you have to explore to believe. But let’s slow it down just a bit: First, let’s get you into the harbor, a challenge that at times is best addressed by the seasoned boater. Do not try and cheat, thinking the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. This does not work out well for you around the entrance to Westport Harbor (or when boating in general).

If you are coming from the east and are staying out in the middle of Buzzards Bay, then simply come around G “1” and follow the buoys right into the harbor. But as you come around Hen and Chickens shoal you’ll see the remnants of what locals call “the cement barge.” This is the wreck of the Angela, a 425-foot barge in tow bound for Boston in 1971, carrying 70,000

barrels of dry cement. In a thick fog and a building sea, her towline parted. The crew anchored the Angela and made for port to wait out the rough conditions. When the wind and tide changed she swung around and grounded on Old Cock, a rock near the southern tip of Hen and Chickens.

So there the cement barge sits, as a warning sign for the area, I like to think. If you’re coming from the east and are hugging the coast, there’s a small cut-through Hen and Chickens that is marked by N “2” and N “4”,

but as my grandfather use to say, “Why be a show-off?”

Coming from the west, stay out far enough to avoid justsubmerged objects with names like Halfway Rock, Cutty Wow, and Two-Mile Ledge. Once you make it around to the approach to the mouth of the harbor, the one thing to remember is, if you have a chart older than 2012 – electronic or paper – then the old channel is what will be depicted. Get an update and follow the new channel buoys.

The old channel was between Halfmile Rock and Dogfish Ledge. This approach was tricky due a myriad of factors – from the depth, the proximity of the rocks, and the swells – a trifecta that never engenders a good feeling. The newer channel is now east of Halfmile Rock – between it and Horseneck Beach. But keep in mind that the rush of the tides moves the sand around, mak-

north tip of Islesboro, the buoy off Belfast, a point off Gilkey Harbor, and another one off Camden. We should be well prepared if it is necessary to play blind man’s buff in West Penobscot Bay. My only real concern about the day ahead is the possibility of meeting one of the occasional oil tankers that make their way up and down the bay en route to or from Searsport. This is the only serious commercial shipping in the area, and I wouldn’t care to encounter it in the fog in an engineless boat. If it is thick, I plan to hug one shore or another, where the big boys can’t go.

The northern tip of Islesboro Island is called Turtle Head, and a glance at the chart shows you why. The whole northern end of the island is shaped like a turtle. It’s not certain what kind because it has flippers to port and legs to starboard, but turtle it is, with a perfect head right to the north.

The fog has stalled somewhere down the bay, and we approach Turtle Head in misty sunlight. We are moving at an appropriate turtle-like crawl, with only enough wind to keep way on. It is not enough for a 35footer close by, headed in the same direction. Her sails can’t seem to catch anything at all, and she is pretty much dead in the water.

got to mention.

Friday. Another bright morning finds me out in the dinghy exploring the shallows around the marsh in a sunny golden mist. Girls’ voices and the thwunk of hard-hit tennis balls follow us as Penelope and I take our leave and head toward the bay. By 11:40 we are moving nicely, southward along the shore. The log reads: “This is sweet!

We have southwest about seven knots, but the bay is flat, showing only the tiniest of ripples. The land is a lush, enticing green, with splashes of gold. Everything else is shades of blue. Smooth sailing like on the banks in the Bahamas.”

Off Gilkey Harbor, at the south end of Islesboro, we head in and pass close behind the ferryboat, which is loading, nuzzling against its slip with the engine running ahead. I am surprised at the force of the wash coming off her stern.

Penelope is pushed violently sideward, but shakes herself and continues to the east. Then it is south up between Isleboro and Seven Hundred Acre Island.

Onward to the south we go and find that we are caught in another almost endless beat. At last we reach the vicinity of Lime Island, where it is possible to carry four feet between Lime and Lasell Island, and over into East Penobscot Bay. We gratefully cut through here and now head a little north of east, passing between Great and Little Spruce Head islands, summer home of the Porter family – Eliot, the accomplished photographer, and his equally talented brother, Fairfield, the painter. We are reaching along at nearly hull speed and life is good again.

Late afternoon finds us off Pickering Island, a few miles from the west end of the Eggemoggin Reach.

Pickering is uninhabited now, but it was not always so, and there are some strange stories concerning days gone by.

A picture in Charles B. McLane’s “Islands of the Mid Maine Coast” editor@pointseast.com

shows an odd fortress-like building that stood here from the 1890s until shortly after World War II. Looking like it might have made a good keep for Cedric the Saxon, it had a turret and barred windows on the second floor, with no windows at all on the first. Protected in summer by a pack of ferocious dogs, this was the vacation home of a certain Dr. Collins.

Some said that the good doctor kept mental patients here for arcane experiments; others, that he kidnapped bar girls in Boston and brought them out to the island for purposes too awful to contemplate.

Still others said that the doctor was a perfectly nice fellow, and all the evil rumors had been spread by a disgruntled clamdigger.

On this night, Penelope and I share the western anchorage at Pickering with an older and somewhat worn-looking sloop anchored quite far out from the anchorage proper. She shows no lights and no signs of life. Vaguely, I wonder if there is a problem there, but assume her crew are early sleepers.

Saturday. A gray windless morning. There are still no signs of life on the sloop, but I figure they may be not only early sleepers but late ones, too. I go for a long row along the shore, around to the eastern anchorage off a beautiful curving sand beach. This place, which is one of the loveliest on the coast, is unoccupied as usual, the reason being a more or less treacherous rock-lined entrance and considerable ambiguity as to where the good bottom lies.

Back on Penelope, I fry up some eggs and Spam and wonder about the old sloop, which still shows no sign of life. It’s warm, and with no company but the distant, lifeless sloop, I crouch low in the cockpit and take a seawater sponge bath.

Some say they still feel dirty after a seawater bath, but I have never felt that way; I like a little salt on my skin.

getting along, so I haul anchor and get under way. We pass close under the stern of the mystery sloop and hail her by name. I have no desire to find a dead man aboard, but feel duty bound to check her out. To my great relief, a gray head emerges from the hatch. I ask how he is doing, and in a quavery, old voice the old gent says that he is “just enjoying the peace.” I apologize for disturbing that peace and wish him well. He opines

that there is not likely to be much wind this afternoon, and I’m afraid he is right.

For an uncomfortable length of time, he is very right.

to a point off the Benjamin River. Then we see thunderheads coming up behind us, and it is a race to see if we can get to the WoodenBoat School anchorage in Brooklin before the storm hits. Looking back toward the bridge, the sky is spectacular, with flashes of blue, purple and orange in the charcoal clouds.

It is “I think I can, I think I can” all the way up past Torrey Island, and then we are in the anchorage. We drop anchor off the mooring field, with a windjammer and a mixed bag of cruisers for company. We heave a big sigh of relief, then note that what looked like a major thunderstorm has dissipated and disappeared while we were anchoring. It is time for a drink and a read in the cockpit.

I am reading about Capt. Nat Hereshoff and his last America’s Cup defender. I come to a part that tells how he spent long days working at the Herreshoff Manufacturing Co., which he owned along with his brother.

Coming home for dinner, he would preside over a table where his wife and children were discouraged from speaking because the great man preferred thinking about boats and boating undisturbed.

After dinner, Capt. Nat would retire to his study alone, where he thought about boats and boating some more. We gather Capt. Nat. was not a lot of fun as a husband and a father. Like so many great men and women, he was a bit selfish and difficult (Frank Lloyd Wright, N.C. Wyeth, Robert Frost, Ayn Rand and Pi-

casso come to mind, to name a few). Suddenly it comes to me that my days will end in obscurity because I have been too nice all my life.

I can’t suppress a sudden screech of laughter as I think about how my wife would react to this last idea.

People in neighboring boats cast nervous glances in my direction. Clearly the old coot in the catboat is demented and may be dangerous.

Sunday. It is sunny and clear again as we beat out of the WoodenBoat anchorage accompanied by a flotilla of wooden craft of all sizes. They seem to be headed for some kind of event on the other side of the reach. We part company off White Island as I head southeast for Jericho Bay and a clean shot for Hat Island, Toothacher Bay, and home to Swans.

It’s one tack with the sheet just slightly eased, and Penelope is doing five and a half to just under six knots. A converted sardine carrier passes slowly, headed slightly more to the west. Her skipper takes the trouble to step out of his wheelhouse and give the kind of exaggerated wave which indicates he really likes what he is seeing. It makes my day and tops off what has been a really fine cruise.

This is a Cape Cod Story in which the author and her fishing partner, Red, could be tourists in their own neighborhoods while angling for keeper stripers, chopper blues, and unexpected life-lessons.

By Patricia J. McGrath For Points East here are few stories of greater interest to me than stories about the sea. From early in my childhood, I read books by Edward Rowe Snow and loved his stories of lighthouses and shipwrecks.

My grandparents lived near Stacy Boulevard in

T

Gloucester, and my grandfather operated the Blynman drawbridge, which, to a young child, was both mysterious and scary. The giant gears would move with precision, and I would imagine how frightened I would be if I had been caught in the split of the bridge and had to hang on while it was ultimately lowered to its flat surface.

The term “supplies” is a nice way of referring to dead and disgusting food for the fish, which, we hoped, would be attracted to something so revolting.

Of course, “Papaday” would never allow that to happen, but it was always something worthy of thought.

We were privileged to enjoy the fresh salt air, Wingaersheek Beach, Stage Fort Park, and all of the local beaches and parks. We had many occasions after hurricanes to watch the waves break over the rocks along the back shore of Gloucester. For us, it was a reminder of the power of the sea. My world as a child consisted of Gloucester, Essex and Rockport. It wasn’t until my adult years that I discovered the other Massachusetts Cape, Cape Cod. My partner and fellow adventurer was Red Poirier, a North Attleboro, Mass., transplant, who had loved and embraced Cape Cod many years before I met him in 1992. When I first met Red, he was very focused on fishing. “Focused” may be an understatement. When he wasn’t fishing, he was thinking about fishing or sifting through magazines and articles about fishing.

I was very focused on the speed of a powerboat and the opportunity to take some beautiful photos at all times of the day in some of the most amazing locations on Cape Cod. Every weekend in the summer, at approximately

3:30 a.m., we would get out of bed, pack a cooler with breakfast and snack items, make a thermos of coffee, and stop by the bait store for supplies. The term “supplies” is a nice way of referring to dead and disgusting food for the fish, which, we hoped, would be attracted to something so revolting. We were almost always out before the coffee shops opened but occasionally when the tides were slack, we would linger a bit longer at home and pick up coffee and bagels at the Dunkin Donuts counter at Gray Gables Market. It was always a good idea, whenever possible, to get the coffee and bagels before the disgusting bait. A very good idea.

No one could doubt our commitment to powerboating. We went everywhere with the 24-foot Sportcraft 242. We fished Buzzards Bay, Cape Cod Bay, and the waters off Provincetown and Martha’s Vineyard, and all along the Cape Cod Canal. Sometimes we fished with friends, Steve and Kathy, who also had a powerboat and were excellent at catching keeper bass. And sometimes it would be just the two of us.

Occasionally, we were all unintentionally fishing with the Canal Patrol boats, which would remind us when we were drifting inside the canal. It was almost

MS TUGBO TUGBOAT AT MUSTER Sunday,, August 1 Sunday 17 7 • Maine State Pier Open to the Public! On Sunday morning, tugboats from around the state will gather at the Maine State Pier for the start of the 14th annual MS Tugboat Muster. A classic part of the MS Harborfest weekend, it features a tugboat parade along the Por and pushing competition between the tugs. The Tugboat Muster begins immediately following the MS Lobster Boat Races.

“The MS Tugboat Muster is a fun day for family and friends to show off what these waterfront workhorses do on a daily basis ,” says Captain Brian Fournier, President of Portland Tugboat Company and Chair of the MS Tugboat Muster. “Helping fellow Mainers who live everyday with MS, dealing with symptoms that can change from day to day, and can take away their ability to work...that’s a very worthy cause.”

Tugboats from Hartley Marine Services, Portland Tugboat, LLC, and Winslow Marine have participated in the Tugboat Muster since 2000.

MS HARBORFEST SPONSORS The primary goal of MS Harborfest is to raise funds to help create a world free of multiple sclerosis for people who live with the unpredictable challenges of this disease. Maine is hit especially hard by MS, with a 70% higher prevalence rate than the rest of the country. The generosity of our business and individual sponsors enables the National MS Society to help all Mainers who are affected by MS. Many of our sponsors return year after year with generous cash donations. Just as importantly, many of our key sponsors’ employees additionally donate hundreds of hours of volunteer service to produce this weekend-long event.

Their generosity helps bring us closer to our goal by raising awareness and critical funds that support local services for Mainer’s with MS, and fuel cutting edge research and treatments.

MS Harborfest Regatta also welcomes more than 100 companies each year as individual sailboat sponsors. By sponsoring a sailboat for $500, representatives from the sponsoring company have the opportunity to sail aboard i]Z^g hedchdgZY WdVi dg eVgi^X^eViZ ^c i]Z eVgVYZ d[ hV^a# HV^adgh adkZ id Ón i]Z^g hedchdghÉ WVccZgh Yjg^c\ i]Z eVgVYZ and the race. New sailboat sponsors are also welcome, as boats can carry multiple sponsor banners.

This year the MS Harborfest takes place the weekend of August 15-17 on the Portland waterfront.

We hope to see you there! Please join us and help sponsor a cure!

four to six with absolutely no warning.

The spray was intense. The troughs between the waves were very narrow. It took a few moments to register what was happening. It became crystal-clear that our circumstances had changed when the waves were breaking over the bow and the water was being channeled to the stern. We quickly found the life jackets.

We were not able to recover from one wave before we were tossed into the next. At one point, the hatch covers started to float, and Red recognized that the bilge pump was not working. I took the wheel while he worked to get the bilge pump functioning again. Fortunately, it was a simple fix, and we noticed an immediate improvement. At first we thought that we might just ride out these seas with the optimistic outlook of two experienced people with a very seaworthy boat.

Within a few short moments, that option no longer existed.

We saw nothing ahead except more whitecaps and higher seas. Red took the controls, and we began a slow, precarious turn that could easily have flipped the boat, and headed the bow into the oncoming waves. We saw no other boats in the area. We placed a general call to any vessels in the area indicating that the conditions at Quicks Hole were not consistent with the NOAA report.

Within 15 minutes of heading back home, the waves started to diminish. We are two people very much at

56 Points East August 2014

home on the ocean, but after this event, we knew that Mother Nature rules and we merely respond.

Later that day, we heard that a recently restored wooden fishing boat – I believe it was named Tyree – was missing with four people on board. Two fathers and their sons had decided to compete in a fishing contest. When their boat became overdue, the families called the Coast Guard to put together a search effort.

Despite many long hours and days of searching by the Coast Guard, the boat remained missing. I have not continued to follow this story, but I do believe that only remnants of the boat were found and that all on board were presumed lost.

From time to time, I have thought about these four people. We spoke to some of our friends the day after Tyree had been reported missing, and they all indicated to us that the seas were as forecast for the rest of the Cape and Buzzard’s Bay area. When I think of the fathers and sons on board Tyree, I am reminded of the Fisherman’s Memorial in Gloucester and the many men and women who were lost at sea. My great-grandfather, Howard Penney, was one of the many who suffered that fate. In December 1919, while fishing off Liscomb, Nova Scotia, a winter storm capsized his dory, which had been sent out from the schooner Benjamin A. Smith. (Editor’s Note: Read a detailed account of the loss of Patricia’s great-grandfather and his dory-mate John Ernst at www.downtosea.com.)

editor@pointseast.com

It took some time for us to move on from that day. It was the end of the season and we were putting the boat away until the spring. It was good to have some time away from the ocean.

We continued in our use of the Sportcraft for another couple of years. In 1996, we had a new boat, a 20-foot Maritime Skiff that was fast and fun. Oh yes, it was also good for fishing. Over the couple of years we owned the Maritime Skiff, we took many people out for their first keeper bass.

Red loves to tell the story of Stanley, an elderly gentleman who, with his wife, owned a summer home near our house. Stanley grew vegetables – all kinds of vegetables. He would stop by periodically with an ample supply and remind us that if we were ever looking for someone to take fishing, he would make himself available. When we were finally able to coordinate our schedules, Stanley showed up at our house an hour ahead of time with a bushel of every type of vegetable grown in North America. I was somewhat suspicious that he had actually made a trip to the local A&P. I never saw anyone – man, woman or child – more excited about going fishing. He even looked like an Old Salt, more or less like the Gorton’s trademark fisherman. We packed our cooler, gathered the rods and reels and headed to our boat, hoping that Stanley would get his first keeper bass. At this time, the minimum length for a keeper bass was 36 inches. In my experience, far

www.pointseast.com

more people had not caught a keeper bass than those who had. The odds were not with him, but as suspicious as I may have been about the earlier trip to the A&P, I was equally suspicious that he may also have stopped by St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church to light a candle or two.

Stanley was determined, and I truly believed he was destined to catch his keeper bass. We loaded up the boat and said good-bye to one of the ever-observant property owners, Stanley’s friend Dick, across from the Pocasset River. Stanley was very anxious and could only manage a quick nod and a wave for his friend.

Red helped Stanley set up his rod, and gave him some pointers about what to do if he got a fish on. I was at the controls, setting up the drift, and Red was dealing with the smelly bait.

We were out at The Sand Spit for about two hours with only a few nibbles. Stanley reached for a soda and dropped his rod on the floor of the boat. The reel immediately became a bird’s nest of line, and for the next half-hour Red untangled it. He gave the rod back to Stanley.

Within a few minutes, Stanley had a fish on the line.

Suddenly, this elderly man was 12 again, gleeful and excited. With Red’s help, he landed his keeper bass, which, he declared, would be dinner. We took photos of Stanley holding the bass by the hook, Stanley cradling the fish, Stanley looking into the cooler, and variations

Points East August 2014

of each of these poses. It was very entertaining.

As we turned down the Pocasset River, Stanley kept a watchful eye on the shore. As soon as we got close to our slip, he began looking for Dick, hoping that he would be nearby to see his fish. Well, Dick greeted us at the slip, praised Stanley for his skill, and insisted that he be allowed to borrow the fish for some photos of his own, which he planned to share with his friends. It was a great day for everyone.

Within a day or two of the big trip, Stanley stopped by with more fresh vegetables. He politely inquired if the photos would be ready by Friday, because he and his wife were going to a family wedding and he would love to be able to show them to everyone. Of course, we fast-tracked the film, and he had his photos for the wedding.

I am not certain if the bride was

particularly grateful to have been upstaged by a large bass, but Stanley was such a good man that I am guessing it was alright with her.

Epilogue: The following spring, Red tried to call Stanley to remind him to renew his slip.

Stanley’s wife answered and told Red that Stanley had passed away that winter. He’d had a heart condition that ended his life quickly. She told Red that the fishing trip and all of the photos had been one of the best days of his life. We were so sorry to hear of his passing, but we smiled as we remembered the “12-year-old boy” who’d finally caught his keeper bass.

After many years of fishing and powerboating, one morning Red was flipping through a boating magazine, and, much to my surprise, he announced he might just like to think about learning how to sail. And that will be the next adventure.

Light air plagues 2014 running of Newport Bermuda The story for the 49th Newport Bermuda Race was light winds, with reality being far from the optimistic pre-race weather forecast.

Airless sinkholes plagued the course, with free parking across the 635-mile route.

Elapsed race winner Shockwave, the 72-foot mini maxi skippered by George Sakellaris of Framingham, Mass, finished well off the record pace of Rambler in 2012 (39:39:18), arriving Monday in Bermuda after two and a half days (63:04:11).

Briefly Cat sets Around Jamestown Record A new outright record and time to beat was set on June 11 for the Mount Gay Rum Around Jamestown Record. Jonny Goldsberry helmed Michael Dominguez’s 32-foot Marstrom, Bronco, around Jamestown with an elapsed time of 1 hour, 2 minutes and 38 seconds besting the previous record of 01:07:59 by 5 minutes and 21 seconds. The record setting crew included Tom Loughborough, Jono Loughborough, Jonny Goldsberry, Tripp Burd and Emma Creighton. They chose to sail the course around the island to starboard, sailing south from the start off Fort Adams at 14:15:17 ET, on a southwesterly breeze ranging from 10 to 18 knots on an incoming tide.

Last year Bronco broke the overall record on October 10th with a time of 01:13:17, only to be beat out by another Marstrom 32, Ultimate Pressure, on October 24th.

Sailors have until Oct. 31 to attempt to break the new record and secure one of the other divisional records: monohull and all sailing craft under 32 feet. If, by October 31, no

The Clagett Regatta finishes on a high note Newport turned on the charm for the start of the final day of racing (Sunday, June 15) at the 12th C. Thomas Clagett, Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta. After two days of light conditions on Narragansett Bay, the three classes racing took to the water an hour early to take advantage of the northerly breeze.

Heading into the final day Ted Green III (Newport, R.I.) led the 2.4mR fleet with a nine-point lead over Peter Wood (Ottawa, Ont.). In a 12-knot northerly, the fleet got underway for race five of the series, which Green III subsequently retired from after damaging his headsail in a mark-rounding incident. After a drop in breeze strength for race seven, which ended up being the last race for the series, the current around Goat Island became a determining factor in where the competitors finished. Green III finished off the regatta on a high note taking the final gun. With a seven-race series completed a drop result came into play and Ted Green III came out on top of the 2.4mR class. Wood took the silver medal place and Tony Pocklington (Fort Meyers, Fla.) rounded out the top three 2.4mR’s in the bronze medal spot.

(Note: In the July issue we ran a piece featuring military veteran Steve Hammer, who took part in the Wounded Warrior sailing camp in St. Petersburg, Fla. He finished last in the 2.4mR class at the Clagett, but, more

importantly, he was there and he finished.)

In the SKUD 18 class, overnight leaders (and married couple) John McRoberts and Jackie Gay (Victoria, B.C.) went into the last day on equal points with Ryan Porteous (San Diego, Calif.) and Cindy Walker (Middletown, R.I.). But ultimately McRoberts/Gay finished 2nd and Porteous/Walker took third. The drop race came into play and the overall winners were the Canadian duo of McRoberts and Gay, with Porteous and Walker finishing 2nd by a two-point margin and Everhart-Skeels/Tiernan (Tiverton, R.I., and Falmouth, Maine) taking 3rd.

Sonar team of Ricky Doerr (Clifton, N.J.), Tim Angle (Reading, Mass.) and Hugh Freund (Brookline, Mass.) led the class from wire to wire. In a closely fought battle, Paul Tingley (Halifax, N.S.) and his Canadian team of Scott Lutes (Montreal, Que.) and Logan Campbell (Saskatoon, Sask.) finished in 2nd place by one point.

Andy Fisher (Greenwich, Conn.) and his crew Mike Hersey (Hyannis, Mass.) and Brad Johnson (Pompano Beach, Fla.) kept in touch with the leaders over the seven-race series to finish in third place with two points separating second and third.

NB, continued from Page 61 Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Trophy (for professional sailors aboard lightweight racing boats) in a row.

In the St. David’s Lighthouse Division, for amateur crews on dual-purpose racer-cruiser boats, corrected time honors went to the Hinckley B40 Actaea, a modified Bermuda 40 cruising yawl owned by Michael Cone of Philadelphia, Pa. The Cruiser Division is for boats that normally cruise, not race, and are sailed by amateur crews. It had 34 entries and was dominated by smaller boats. The winner was Attitude, a Beneteau 423 owned by Shawn Dahlen of Duxbury, Mass. Like many boats in the race, Attitude got off to a fast start, averaging 7.8 knots over the first two days. Also, like most boats, the rest of her race was a story of calms. It took her many hours to sail the last 35 miles to the finish off St. David’s Head.

The Double-Handed Division had 21 entries, and again the top boats were small. The winner of the Philip S. Weld Prize as corrected time leader was Jeroboam, Jonathan Green’s Beneteau 351. Her greater-than-sixhour victory margin was by far the largest in the fleet this year. In the 2012 race, Green sailed the DoubleHander Seabiscuit alone 200 miles to Bermuda after his teammate was evacuated by a cruise ship.

One boat sailed in the Spirit of Tradition Division, NYYC, continued from Page 60 that started on June 21. Bertrand is best known for wresting the America’s Cup from the firm grip of the New York Yacht Club here in Newport in 1983 when he sailed his 12 Meter Australia II to beat Dennis Conner’s Liberty, breaking the longest winning streak (132 years) in sports history. “Newport was a battleground for us back then, and our 1983 win was my Mount Everest,” said Bertrand.

Every boat in the 2014 Bermuda Race suffered, but Shockwave, a 72-foot mini maxi, suffered less than most, and won its second Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Trophy.

Spirit of Bermuda, a 118-foot three-masted sail-training vessel based on traditional Bermuda trading ships and crewed by sailors representative of the island’s population. Like the other entries, she was often within sight of many boats and struggled with the light winds.

Hooligan, a newly acquired IRC 52 for Gunther Buerman, won Class 2.

The Maine State Laser Championship Series continues with two more regattas in August, and the fifth and final regatta in September.

LASER, continued from Page 60 which took place at the Portland Yacht Club on Sunday, June 29.

After a short postponement, the course was set on the south side of Clapboard Island with a light but steady southerly breeze filling in. With a slightly favored pin end, sailors were quite aggressive causing a couple of general recalls. With the use of the “I” flag, the racers settled in and the regatta was under way.

As principal race officer, I was excited to see several of the New England regulars – Nickerson, Follansbee, Frasier and Thornburn – making the trip to Portland Yacht Club and mixing it up with newcomers like Pollard, Jones, Conway and Heilshorn. But what was really great was to see Steve Beckman and Mike Seipert competing again in the Laser fleet after a long absence.

Along with these sailors several collegiate sailors and local sailing instructors competed, and did pretty well, but they could not best Peter Follansbee’s consistent finishes.

There were five windward-leeward races sailed in a building breeze that topped out at 14 knots. The chase

boat reported exciting mark roundings, with boats being overlapped three- and four-wide; “rubbing is racing” was overheard during the post-race festivities. The conditions put a premium on sailing in clean air and boat handling, and not necessarily picking the favored side.

Peter Follansbee was able to figure out the quickest way to sail the courses with consistency. His five 2ndplace finishes were enough to best Belfast’s Colin Gowland, who was 2nd (and last year’s winner). Arthur Blodgett, from Rockland, rounded out the top three.

A pleasant surprise was the seven Radial rigs that registered for the regatta. It’s nice to see younger sailors getting involved with local regattas. Given the solid number of entries, they were given their own starting sequence separate from the full rigs. Ethan Merrill, from Yarmouth, was first, followed by Cam Loncoski, of Falmouth.

The Maine State Laser Championship Series continues with regattas in Camden and Belfast on Aug. 16 and 17, respectively, and the fifth and final regatta of the series on Sept. 14 on Cobbossee Lake (nice fresh water to rinse your gear off).

Hinckley launches third new model, the Talaria 43 The Hinckley Company, in Portsmouth, R.I., launched its new Talaria 43 in Southwest Harbor, Maine in early June, making it the company’s third new model in as many years. The Talaria 43 is built

by Hinckley in Trenton, Maine. The two previous models are the Hinckley T34 and Talaria 48.

The Talaria 43 is a 34-knot boat wide-open, with a cruising speed of 29 knots delivered by twin Cummins QSB 550s and a pair of Hamilton waterjets. Waterjet propulsion has been the standard at The Hinckley Company since it introduced the system on its first Picnic Boat in 1994.

The Talaria 43 may be ordered with Volvo’s IPS 600. This is the first model Hinckley has offered from in-

ception with pod drives as an option.

Jets keep the draft on the new Talaria 43 down to a scant 28 inches, and provide the boat with easy and precise maneuverability in close quarters. Control is provided by Hinckley’s latest generation of Jetstick, which governs the power with smooth proportional control. Jetstick II adds virtual anchoring and heading hold to the benefits delivered by

the original system. The 43 comes with a hand-held remote control called PalmStick, which enables steering where visibility is best.

Specifications: LOA 43’ 9”, Beam 14’ 6”, Draft: 2’ 4”, Disp: 28,000 lbs., Fuel: 500 Gals., Water: 100 Gals., Cruising speed: 29 knots, Top speed: 34 knots.

Rockport Marine restores Fern, E. B. White’s 18-foot daysailer Fern, an 18-foot Aage Nielsen-designed double-ended daysailer, has been rejuvenated this past winter in the Rockport Marine shops in Rockport, Maine. Originally built for E.B. White in 1956, Fern is one of only four boats built to her design, and she’s considered an elegant and seaworthy sloop-rigged daysailer. Upon her launch, she was bound south to Mystic, Conn., for the WoodenBoat Show at Mystic Seaport. She was displayed near another Aage Nielsen-designed boat, Star Song, which also spent some time at Rockport Marine.

In other Rockport Marine news, Rockport and the Fontaine Design Group have been collaborating on Arabesque, a 50-foot sloop-rigged cold-molded (cold-molded wood hull, teak deck and cold-molded cabintop) vessel with a waterline length of 36 feet, seven inches, and a beam of 12 feet, eight inches. Her hull is wood over laminated frames, laminated ring frames and bulkheads. Her hull layup is one 9/16-inch layer of Alaskan yellow cedar, two 3/16inch layers of western red cedar, and one 9/16-inch layer of mahogany protected by 10-oz fiberglass cloth. She’s a finkeel sloop displacing about 30,000 pounds, 11,354 pounds of which is ballast. FMI: www.rockportmarineinc.com

Hodgdon’s newly acquired marina in Boothbay Harbor, known locally as Wotton’s Wharf, has more than 750 feet of linear dock space and a face dock of 500 feet.

The wharf is the home base to the annual Shipyard Cup, a Hodgdon-founded and hosted superyacht regatta that draws competitors from around the world and infuses significant dollars into the region each summer.

This expansion is part of an ongoing effort by Hodgdon to diversify the fifth-generation-run company.

Over the past 12 years, Hodgdon has grown from its roots as an internationally-known custom yacht builder to also become an industry leader in construction involving advanced-composites design and construction, custom tenders for superyachts, yacht interiors, and projects for the United States Department of Defense.

In addition to its three facilities in the Boothbay region, Hodgdon has locations in Richmond and Damariscotta for its interiors division and its custom tender construction division, respectively. FMI: www.hodgdonyachts.com. editor@pointseast.com

Thad Danielson, of Cummington, Mass., (formerly of Redd’s Pond Boatworks in Marblehead) has built an 1898 Racing Dory that was launched at WoodenBoat Show in late June.

The original pencil-on-linen plans were discovered by Thad in the former Sam and Bill Brown’s boathouse as it was being prepared for conversion to a playhouse. The boat was the first commissioned design by Charles D. Mower.

The 21-foot dory was commissioned as a club racer for the Swampscott club, and, in its original version, as well as the slightly modified 1911 version, became the standard club racer for working-men’s yacht clubs in the area. Thad’s version, like the originals, is open; many of the boats were later decked. The design’s influence is evident in many of the hot racing boats of the day that followed, including John Alden’s Indian. FMI: Thad Danielson, 413-212-8169, thaddanielson66@gmail.com.

Where have all the well-written boating books gone?

Fire Sail: A Miraculous Attainment of a Family’s Dream: Part 1

By Roger A. Marin, a Smashwords ebook, 318 pp., 2014, $4.99.

Reviewed by Sandy Marsters For Points East I’ve harped here before on the paucity of good, really good, new nautical reading material (books), but it doesn’t seem to have had any impact. Go figure. Could it be that nobody reads these book reviews because they are predictably grouchy or cloying, not to mention narcissistic?

Say it ain’t so.

OK, so if you’re so smart you tell me

about your favorite boating books, and I’ll share it with the rest of the group in a subsequent issue. I don’t even have the editor’s permission to make this request, but in this case I’m going over his head and straight to you, the loyal readers of Points East. So send me an email in care of editor@pointseast.com.

Here’s what I’d like to know: What boating books have you read in the past 12 months? What are your all-time favorite boating books? What is in your nautical boating library? What are your favorite boating books to read to kids? Finally, and this will require some thought, what topics would you like to see covered in yet-to-be-published nautical books?

There, that was easy, and I’m already 200 words into my allotted word count. Now write back before you forget. Thanks.

So, this month, I read two nautical books – one old and short, one newly published, but an old story – and

watched a lovely, inspiring sailing documentary.

For some reason, my brother sent me a secondhand copy of “Avelinda,” by the late Thomas D. Cabot. If you have cruised in Maine, you have Cabot to thank for the natural beauty you beheld when it wasn’t foggy.

Cabot – yes, one of those Cabots – died in 1995 at the age of 98, seven years after Tilbury House published “Avelinda.” He was the kind of man who accomplished more in his lifetime than would seem even vaguely possible. But he still found time to cruise the Gulf of Maine and the Maritimes on his 50-foot ketch, Avelinda, and to make sure much of what he saw was saved for all of us.

Cabot’s recounting of his cruises is funny, sweet and at times frightening. Twice, he was caught off Nova Scotia’s east coast in near hurricane-force winds, and he was caught

by Hurricane Carol in Penobscot Bay. But the most terrifying moment came one night at anchor in Butter Island Harbor, when Cabot’s son, sleeping on deck, rolled off the deck and into the water at 2 a.m. It was a few hours and a lot of diving

by his father before he was found clinging to the bobstay.

Cabot sat out the night topsides. “In the beautiful dawn, I was weeping with emotion. It seemed the most beautiful dawn I had ever witnessed, and I resolved then and there to try and buy the surrounding islands.”

During the following years, that’s just what he did, acquiring 50 islands and co-founding the Maine Coast Heritage Trust to help preserve the islands and carry on his work.

The book is illustrated with wonderful photos, taken by Cabot. It’s a deep appreciation of cruising and of the Maine coast. It’s out of print, but used copies are available – or you can borrow mine.

In “Fire Sale,” Roger Marin tells an interesting long-ago story about the bare hull he laboriously turned into a cruising yacht through guile, guts, good luck, bad luck, intense stubbornness, and skill.

Most of the book is dedicated to Marin’s development as a sailor, the birth of his cruising dream, and all the work he and his wife and two kids put into turning the Block Island 40 bare hull into a cruising

vessel that would take them south from their home in Maine.

I don’t think there are very many people with the grit to accomplish what Marin did with this boat in his youth (he is 71 now), especially considering the obstacles he faced. And I don’t think there are many people, luckily, who would take the risks he took.

Consider the lead for the keel, for example. The first effort on the kitchen stove ended in an explosion. Taking the project outdoors, he got a caldron of lead hot enough to pour, but then he had to get that

lead into the hull, where it would cool and become the encapsulated ballast.

“Rigging a block and tackle off the starboard quarter of the hull,” he wrote, “I was able to raise the 80pound bucket of molten lead up to where I could grab it from inside and bring it aboard.”

What could go wrong?

Well, that worked, but plenty did go wrong in the years to come. There was also plenty of serendipity, including a chance meeting with Bob and Tina Hinckley, which became key to Marin’s success.

The rest of the book is a travelogue of the family’s trip to the Bahamas. Like so many self-published books, this one would be much improved by cutting it by at least a third – hopefully, much of that would be inane dialogue that, so many years later, must have been reconstructed. It’s a good story, but digesting it is a big commitment.

In fact, there is a sequel to this 318-page book in the works, picking up the adventure where the first book left off in the Bahamas. Consider that Joshua Slocum sailed around the world in just 320 pages.

Finally, make it a point to see the documentary “Maidentrip,” which tells the story of Laura Dekker, a Dutch girl who completed a two-year circumnavigation that she began, with most of the world against her, at age 14. Production values are very high, the kid is very cool, and the story is inspiring and definitely worth a look.

The Leight slides past Mount Desert Island in the richness of a quiet day on the Maine coast.

Quiet day on the coast he 50-mile run between Mount Desert Island and the dramatic anchorages around Great Wass and Roque islands far Downeast, always seems a long haul in the light airs of July. Handy shelters are few and far between along the offshore route, and it can’t be managed without knowing a foul, Fundy-influenced tide or two.

The choice of a long wait for the wind or grinding it out under power was unsatisfying. Having played it both ways, but with little taste for the intensity of haste, I left Northeast Harbor early, singlehanding eastward under power at an easy four knots. There was a particular divinity to the dawning, the pale pastels of a new day bathing spruce crowned shore and islands in a translucent light, in which every tree and headland seemed to have standing.

Swells heaved lazily as the Leight rustled along, swaying rhythmically, like a skater carving graceful arcs on the ice. Portside, the faded mountains of Mount Desert cut the sky sharply, and lent a commanding backdrop to the scene, while the bony finger of Schoodic

Point, gesturing to seaward a dozen miles off the bow, seemed to keep its distance, even with a fair tide beneath us. We’d come to know the ebb soon enough, but there was no escaping sea time, which takes full measure of every minute and mile.

Setting up the Autohelm, I arranged the cockpit cushions into a makeshift chaise, pulled a copy of WoodenBoat magazine from the bookshelf, and read it from cover to cover. Found myself absorbed in an article about spiling topside planking, which I’ve tried to fathom for decades, but still only have the sketchiest apprehension of. Made an offer of $112, the extent of my current liquidity, for a Concordia yawl, and perused the richly detailed photographs and story about a schooner restoration in this “New Yorker” of boating magazines.

With the engine muttering its rhythmic incantations hour after hour, the day came warm enough to shed a sweater, and looking up from my muse, I found Schoodic abeam. This place opens the door to a world that still takes my breath away, 40 summers after first doubling it. Training the binoculars eastward, hoping for a sighteditor@pointseast.com

ing of the slender spire of Petit Manan Island lighthouse nine miles off, I could make nothing of it.

Time passes slowly on days like this, and I let it be.

Practicing the Zen of mindful tunafish sandwich making, there was not another boat to be seen, not even a lobster fisher. After lunch I pulled a sharpening stone from my toolbox, and worked my jackknife blade to a serviceable cutting edge.

It’s a good thing to keep tools in tune, but practicing much more than ordinary maintenance, you risk becoming a bore, and people suddenly remember Rotary Club meetings they have to go to.

Birdlife was abundant. Training the binoculars on a float of small black ducks, I saw my first razorbill auks of the cruise. There was a formal look to their basic black with white piping. Consulting the bird book, I learned that they live in caves, and are also known to nest at sea. It was no easy task to keep watch on the Wilson’s petrels as they slashed and swooped at wavetop level like miniature F16s. I’ve never seen one resting. By the time we made Petit Manan lighthouse I’d added puffins, scimitar-winged terns and, possibly, plovers, to the list.

The wind took its sweet time showing up. It was after 2 p.m. before I raised sail. With 10 miles yet to go, and the tide having long turned, progress declined to three knots. It was a drawn-out affair rounding bare-skulled Channel Rock off Mistake Island. Making into the breathless quiet of the Mud Hole as evening came on, I anchored, opened a bottle of wine, eminently satisfied with the richness of this quiet day on the coast.

High water temps mean tactics must be altered

By Richard DeMarte For Points East Adjusting and fine-tuning your fishing tactics and overall approach is key to successful fishing, and this is especially true in August. Said another way, if you set your sights on a single target in this hottest time of the summer, you’re narrowing your chances for fun and success. So take along an assortment of baits and tackle, and you’ll tip the odds in your favor.

Gear: Bring along two trolling rods and reels loaded up with lead-core trolling line as well as two mid-weight spinning rods and reels and two lightweight rods and reels loaded up with 20- and 40-pound test Advanced braided line. A simple selection of lures will also be needed, such as bunker spoons and Rapala Deep Divers for trolling; an assortment of four- to eight-inch surface and shallow diving lures, such as Rapala X-Rap Shads

84 Points East August 2014

and X-Rap Pops; and also some one- to three-ounce white and chartreuse bucktails with 4/0 teaser hooks. And don’t forget to bring along some VMC Circle Hooks in sizes 4/0 to 9/0 for all your bait fishing.

Bait: Pack a small cooler with a mix of frozen bait, including a few bunker and some squid and spearing. Also buy a dozen live sandworms as well.

What to look for: As you leave the dock, keep a keen eye on your fishfinder, the shorelines, and the surface of the water. Cormorants swimming and diving as well as ospreys gliding overhead are a sure sign that bunker are in the area. The bunker may not be grouped in large tight pods, but snagging or netting them is possible if the birds are hunting them down. Gathering fresh bunker is a good idea, even if you brought along some frozen ones, since using them to start a chum line will create an oily slick that blues, stripers and fluke can’t resist.

Stripers and blues: Because air Fluke: For fluke, the best activity and water temperatures will hit is typically an hour to 90 minutes betheir peaks this month, fishing the fore and after high and low tides. Hot shallow shorelines and entrances of spots for bouncing bucktails tipped harbors and coves is best done at with spearing, strips of bunker and sunrise and sunset before the temps Trigger-X scented baits include Tod’s climb. Then shift over to trolling in Point and the outside of Captains Isthe midday heat. While trolling, land in Greenwich, The Cows outside watch for diving terns as well as any of Stamford Harbor and also along pods of bait on the surface, which the sandy shoreline of the north coast may be signs that stripers and blues of Long Island.

Striper fishing slow, but offshore action off charts

By Elisa Cahill For Points East It felt as if summer was never going to arrive; however, it has hit full swing! Inshore and offshore anglers are catching good numbers of striped bass, bluefish, scup, seabass, sharks and tuna.

Best fluke fishing is occurring when the wind and tide are together. South shore areas such as Center Wall of Harbor of Refuge, Carpenters, Green Hill and Charlestown Beach have all been productive. Remember to move to deeper waters when water temperatures increase, you may even be in 80 feet of water. Block Island’s West and South Side are other popular August locations.

Rocky bottom areas outside Center Wall of Harbor of Refuge, Hooter Buoy, and Carpenters have been seabass hot spots. Paul Tukey landed a 6.1-pound seabass fishing the south shore. Scup have been mixed in with the seabass, and are great fun when fishing with children.

Anglers have been challenged fishing stripers so far this season; however, some large cows have been landed.

Every day the fishing gets better. Richard Chappell was led to a special rock pile off Point Judith and landed a 58-pounder with Ray Rao aboard the Karen Ray. Fred Weber weighed in a 50-pound striped bass off the Southwest Ledge. Anglers fishing live eels during the night have caught the largest fish. Day-trolling with umbrellas

to the bottom, where these critters hang out. Find structure – including wrecks, rock piles and reef edges – and start chumming. When the porgies are biting, it’s a great time to bring along guests, especially kids, since this type of fishing will keep all rods bent until they run out of bait or energy.

on the Southwest Ledge and Southeast Side of Block Island is the next best option.

Fishing for bluefish has also been good at Southwest Ledge, East Grounds, and in Narragansett Bay. Trolling umbrellas and top-water lures, and diamond jigging have all produced great catches.

Offshore fishing, when the weather permits, has been awesome. Seems all vessels departing for tuna grounds are coming back with bluefin tuna, yellowfin and mahi-mahi, depending upon the locations being fished.

Fairway Buoy and Acid Barge are closest bluefin tuna locations. Fish Tales has produced yellows, a few albacore and mahi. Day-trolling has been best; there has not been much of a night chunk bite. Joe Shute lures have been key, along with Rapala X-Rap Divebait 30 Feet trolling lures. Check in with local tackle shops for up-to-date reports.

Shark fishing has been great, with an early start considering the cold water temperatures to start the year.

Mako sharks, blues and threshers have been landed from the Suffix, Horns and Gully. Bill Fazano released both a mako and a thresher in a day while fishing the Suffix; the fish were 150 to 250 pounds.

Keeping fingers crossed for nice weather!

Stephanie Louise Kwolek

Nicholas Rege-Colt

90, Wilmington, Del.

51, Amherst, Mass.

The DuPont Co. scientist, whose research on polymers in the 1960s led to the creation of Kevlar – the light, super-strong synthetic fabric used in ropes, hulls and racing sails as well as bulletproof vests and body armor died on June 18.

As a chemist at DuPont, Kwolek made her greatest mark with her 1965 work on a liquid crystal polymer that, dissolved in solvent and pressed through a device resembling a very fine colander, became a fiber five times stronger than steel, ounce for ounce. Patented as Kevlar, it found many industrial applications, most notably protecting soldiers and police officers from bullets and shrapnel. In the 1970s, it was adopted as the preferred material in bullet-resistant vests, replacing earlier alternatives such as nylon, fiberglass and boron carbide. A 1974 “New York Times” article, headlined “Kevlar Enters Spotlight as New Miracle Fiber,” mentioned other potential uses, such as mooring offshore oil platforms and strengthening yacht sails.”

Nicholas died suddenly of cardiac arrest on June 14 aboard the the sailing vessel Moonshine while racing off Block Island. Nicholas was employed

by VCA Inc. in Northampton, for 19 years, working as a cabinetmaker, draughtsman, project manager, CNC operator, and trusted adviser to fellow employees, architects, designers and all who relied upon his professionalism and humor.

He recently served on the board of the Smith Vocational School, working on the development of a cabinetry program. A gifted woodworker and an enthusiastic biker, he was also an able seaman, musician, and a lover of nature. An avid supporter of his children’s endeavors, he was most recently a fixture at their Ultimate Frisbee tournaments. In 2004, Nicholas and his family spent 10 months volunteering for the Latika Roy Foundation in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. A man of integrity and principle, who loved his family dearly, he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

David Bradley Jenkins 83, Duxbury, Mass.

Dave passed away in the early hours of June 17, a day after celebrating a glorious Fathers Day. Dave was on too many committees to count at the Duxbury Yacht Club. He notably chaired the committee to rebuild the clubhouse at the DYC, and as the Land Use Chair, led several other initiatives to improve the club facilities, while still maintaining its family emphasis and value-driven orientation. He was a typically active and contributing member of the Duxbury Yacht Club.

Dave is professionally best recognized as the CEO of Shaw’s Supermarkets, who took what was Brockton Public Markets and turned it into the revered grocery retailer known as Shaws. He learned the grocery business from the ground up, stocking shelves and pushing carts (activities it was common to see him performing even while the CEO of a public company); as a result, Dave

could find value and improve things where a less handson person could not have.

Karen Marti 59, Annapolis, Md.

Karen, who grew up in Warwick, R.I., died unexpectedly July 18. She attended the University of Rhode Island, where she earned a B.S. in Zoology, an M.S. in Statistics, and an M.S. in Oceanography. Karen began as a biostatistician for the National Marine Fisheries Service, teaching graduate courses in Statistics and Computer Science at URI from 1983-1986.

Her entire life, she was an avid sailor, and among her greatest achievements was her being chosen to be a team member of the 2001 BT Global Challenge, a 30,000-mile racecourse for 12 yachts, lasting 10 months, around four continents. Her interests included hiking, singing, playing the guitar, traveling, and gardening.

LAST

WORD/Mar ilyn

P. Brigh am

Before the Brighams discovered the Trustees of Reservations, views like this were rare while cruising.

Photo by Marilyn Brigham

One if by land . . . o you ever find that while visiting a seaside town by car, you look out over the harbor, see people on their boats, and wish you were out there on the water as well? Those boaters obviously are having a better time exploring an island in the harbor or heading out to a secluded beach than you are … stuck onshore with a car.

Alternatively, when cruising, do you find that once ashore you long for your own wheels, so you can drive someplace – to that great locale or attraction that is beyond walking distance? I do. Seems we are never satisfied.

My husband and I sail the coast of New England in our 36-foot Jeanneau, Toujours. We cruise to various ports of call and enjoy the experience of approaching a town from the water, exploring the harbor in our dinghy, or going ashore courtesy of a launch. It’s fun

to explore a town after you emerge from a boat, hop onto the dock and begin a new onshore adventure.

Once ashore we always pick up all the tourist literature, even if we’ve been there before, and try to see some local sights that are new to us. But additional sites of interest are always just beyond our range; we don’t have at our disposal opportunities that call for the car. Those opportunities become experiences deferred for another time, when we have a car and no boat.

Last summer, we found the perfect solution to this dilemma: Cruise to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, have someone meet you and drive you to explore the land beyond. No, we didn’t hire Boston Coach or a private limo, or even meet up with a friend with a car. We met the Trustees of Reservations’ beach safari buggy/van and had the opportunity to explore the editor@pointseast.com

beaches of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.

The Trustees of Reservations is a non-profit organization with property holdings all around the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. These properties are of scenic, historic or ecological significance and are preserved by the Trustees of Reservations (the Trustees) for generations to come. The Trustees host special events, tours and programs of interest at many of their properties. The properties (and memberships) are open to everyone, and members can take advantage of many of these events at special pricing.

We first became aware of a great opportunity to explore the beach at Coskata-Coatue when we had cruised to Nantucket and were spending several days on the boat at the Nantucket Boat Basin. We’d already done the “shop crawl” in Nantucket, toured the remodeled Whaling Museum, hit most of the restaurants at one season or another, seen the Coffin House and some of the other historic sites, walked the “secret” walking trails, biked to ’Sconset, toured the Lifesaving Museum – what else to do? I couldn’t drum up any interest in going to the Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum.

The local paper had a listing of all the “doings” by day, and it listed a Natural History Tour trip to Coskata-Coatue offered by the Trustees of Reservations. The listing enticed us: “Join our experienced guide on this three-hour 4x4 over-sand vehicle tour,

and learn about the fascinating flora and fauna that call Coskata-Coatue home!”

The tour started within walking distance of the Boat Basin at the Maria Mitchell Science Center, went out as far as Nantucket Light (Great Point, Fl. W. ev. 5 s., R. sect. 084°-106°), and made a quick stop at the Wauwinet Gate House. This piqued our interest. We were already members of the Trustees and had great interest in exploring their properties. Also, we had seen Great Point Lighthouse as we sailed from Chatham to Nantucket, but we had never been out to visit it, and we have often enjoyed having lunch at Toppers, the restaurant at the Wauwinet Inn. We called and made reservations for the next morning’s trip and asked if they would drop us off at the Wauwinet Inn after the tour, instead of bringing us full-circle back to town. They said they would be happy to drop us off, so we also made reservations for a late lunch at Toppers. We packed our sunscreen for the tour and a change of clothes for lunch. We walked just a short ways from the Boat Basin to the appointed spot to meet up with the tour.

It was early in June, and the season had not quite begun in Nantucket; not many people were out and about. We waited and waited, and no one else appeared around the sign that advertised that the “Trustees of LAST WORD, continued on Page 102

Royal River Boat began in the early 1950’s when Adolphus Dugas with the help of his sons, Joe and Al started clearing recently purchased land in order to build a small commercial boatyard. At that point, the business was a part-time, do-it-yourself yard for local fishermen.

Although incorporated in 1963 the family’s dream of a full-service boatyard began to take shape in 1977 when Alan Dugas joined his family’s company. A small repair shop became expanded.

Power was added, a marine supply store was established. In 1984 dredging began for a new marina, with floats and a 50 ton travelift to accommodate pleasure boats.

Between 1991 and 2000, a paint and fiberglass shop, sail loft and rigging shop, (now Bayview Rigging and Sails) and becoming an authorized Mercury outboard dealership.

Today, the boatyard is still owned and operated by the Dugas family.

With Alan as the head of the company, he circulates throughout the yard giving a hand in each department. Elaine Dugas, his mother, has been working in the office as a bookkeeper for about 50 years and continues to work full time. His brother, Bobby, has been working as a foreman in the yard for roughly 27 years. Of the fourth generation of the Dugas family, Alan’s son, Andy, and daughter, Molly, are both involved in the family business. Along with the members of the Dugas family, we also have a hard-working crew that has been with us long term, has helped our company thrive, and has become like family.

In the past couple years, the yard has undergone some major renovations and we are now a state of the art, eco-friendly facility offering services that meet all of your boating needs. Stop by our store to pick up the current issue of Points East. www.royalriverboat.com

LAST WORD, continued from Page 93 Reservations Meet Here.” We began to get a little nervous that we had the wrong date/time, but our guide drove up in a white van sporting the familiar Trustees’ logo to meet us.

We were to have a private tour, as we were the only people who signed up for that tour. Our guide was a Nantucket native, a gentleman who retired to the Island after spending much of his career on the mainland. He was personable, chatty and, of course, knowledgeable about the Island and its flora and fauna. We drove from Nantucket Town out to the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge (pronounced co-skateuh coat-oo), about 10 miles out the Polpis Road to the Wauwinet Road. In and of itself, that was a great trip, our guide pointing out landmarks, remarking about interesting sidebars and stories of famous summer visitors all along the drive.

We drove to the Wauwinet Gate House, where he stopped to let out the air in the tires of the van before we drove past the Wauwinet Inn and onto a beach road. With tires deflated, we began our journey on the sand road out to the two peninsulas that comprise the refuge. Our guide told us all about the landscape (or coastscape) – its history, some sea stories and local lore, and described the creatures and plants that inhabit the area. It was a treat to bump along the oversand-vehicle routes.

We were privileged to be the only people out at that time – and with the added benefit of being with an insider. We learned about the shifting sand dunes, the forest of oak and the savanna of red cedar, the tidal pools, and the eroding beach that takes a pounding from the great Atlantic Ocean. It was interesting to see the diversity of typography within this sandy area.

The beach plums had just finished blossoming, and they were beautiful. Heather also blooms in abundance.

We were careful not to get out of the van near great stretches of poison ivy. From the van, we saw heron, seals, osprey, oystercatchers, and seemingly hundreds of seagull chicks hiding in the bushes and sand dunes.

While full-grown seagulls are commonplace and not terribly attractive, fluffy, baby chicks peeking out from behind their mother’s legs were adorable. Mama gulls are fearlessly protective of their offspring, dive-bombing the van if we lingered too long to admire.

A large contingent of piping plovers had recently laid their eggs in the tire tracks along the beach. So, unfortunately, the beach road to the Great Point Lighthouse was closed. We were not able to continue the van trip out to the extreme northwest tip of the refuge to visit the light. We understood, but were disappointed.

The lighthouse is open for touring, but that would have to be postponed for another visit for us. (Late summer is a more reliable time to be able to continue 102 Points East August 2014

on to the light, after the birds have matured.)

Our van driver took us in a loop along the Head of the Harbor. We felt far removed from the fashionable vacation homes and early summertime bustle of Nantucket. The refuge, rugged and serene, is incredibly beautiful and fragile.

We got a good look back towards the island, with its weathered-shingle homes, and we could see across the water that a big, colorful tent was being erected at the Wauwinet Inn in preparation for an evening wedding.

The van completed the loop and returned to the sand road that passes the Wauwinet Inn to end our visit to Coskata-Coatue Refuge.

We said our good-byes to our Trustees of Reservations guide and changed our clothes for an elegant lunch on the patio at Toppers. If you wonder how we got back to the Boat Basin, the Inn has a van that takes their guests into town, so we hitched a ride back with them. Interestingly, the Nantucket Boat Basin and the Wauwinet Inn, among other Nantucket properties/resort facilities, are all under the same management.

We’d had a wonderful day exploring the extreme tip of Nantucket on two different vans, and didn’t even pay for the gas. With that great experience, I went back home and researched the Trustees of Reservations’ website (www.thetrustees.org) to find what other land/sea connections we could make. I was intrigued by a trip to Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge, another great beach, on Chappaquiddick Island, Martha’s Vineyard.

We made the trip to Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard on our boat in late summer with another couple. Our reservations to the Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge were made well in advance as we were now in the high season, and we wanted to make sure we would be able to secure reservations for four. We stayed on Toujours in Edgartown Harbor for the weekend.

On the appointed day of our tour, the four of us piled into the dinghy and landed on the beach on the Chappy side of where the On Time, the Chappy ferry, docks. About the time we’d secured the dinghy, the familiar white Trustees of the Reservations van pulled up. A local woman was our driver, and, again, we couldn’t have found a more personable and knowledgeable guide. She drove us to the Trustees’ Chappaquiddick headquarters, at their garden called Mytoi.

The van trip is approximately three miles out on the Chappaquiddick and Dike Bridge Roads, which are about the only paved roads on the Island. As with our Nantucket excursion, we were fortunate to be the only visitors on the tour. We switched from the van to their open-air “safari buggy,” which was perfect on a warm, summer day for absorbing all the sounds, smells and sights Cape Poge had to offer us.

The refuge is almost 1,000 acres of preserved land and beach, stretching from Wasque Point to the south, editor@pointseast.com

north to Cape Poge Light and curling west around to Cape Poge Gut. In the “safari buggy,” we drove from Mytoi to the sand roads of Cape Poge. There were lots of cars right on the beach – fishermen, picnickers and sunbathers. They were all but forgotten as our safari buggy headed into the dunes, and we soon found ourselves alone with just the shore birds for company.

Our driver explained about the ecological history of Cape Poge, and had for our use both binoculars and guidebooks for the proper identification of birds and flora. She explained about the significant erosion along the shore. Only the chimneys of several beach houses remained to remind us how transitory life is on the coast, and the cliff swallows were the only residents in the former house foundations now left in the dunes.

As we approached Cape Poge Light (Fl. W. ev. 6 s.), our guide explained that the first lighthouse was built in 1801, but that it has been both rebuilt and moved several times. Lighthouse keepers reported that the light was precariously near the cliffs, and the ocean relentlessly erodes the dunes. Land was purchased well inland, and the lighthouse was moved to avoid the scourge of the sea.

We stopped at the lighthouse and eagerly climbed to the top, through a trap door and up a steep ladder, and were rewarded with a phenomenal 360-degree view of

Cape Poge Bay, Vineyard Sound, the Atlantic Ocean and Edgartown Harbor, on a clear, blue-sky day. The Lighthouse is managed by the Trustees, but the automated lantern is maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard.

There are some artifacts on display at the lighthouse, and our guide was knowledgeable about all facets of its history.

Back we came by a different beach road, having visited beach and dunes and stands of eastern red cedars.

We were driven back to Mytoi, then transferred back into the van and returned to the beach by the Chappy ferry, where we’d left our dinghy. What a great experience, and what a wonderful way to see and learn more about Chappaquiddick.

So, who needs a car? Our dilemma has been solved.

We’d rather cruise to a wonderful port, be met by a knowledgeable guide in a serviceable vehicle, and drive to the beach.

Marilyn Brigham, with her co-captain/spouse Paul, sails Toujours, a Jeanneau 36i, out of Quissett Harbor.

She is a member of both the Quissett and Cottage Park yacht clubs. Toujours and her crew have spent years cruising the waters between Narragansett Bay to the Gulf of Maine. Marilyn plans to be sailing in Buzzards and Massachusetts bays this summer and fall, but she and Paul may also venture west into Long Island Sound.
