EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Ma rsh

The pin-rail flash of light on the surface of Simpson Bay Lagoon caught my eye. Morse-like, the flotsam tossed and turned, flickering in the sun, long and short, as it drifted toward me in the deflected Northeast Trades, like a tiny vessel signaling “Save Our Ship.”

We’d just fetched up in this St. Martin “hurricane hole” after a fast passage from the Canary Islands.

Two months earlier, Category 4 Hurricane Luis had ravaged the Leeward Islands with maximum sustained winds of 140 miles per hour. Nineteen people had been confirmed dead, and some 20,000 rendered homeless because of the blow. As we slipped into the lagoon, the devastation was still painful to contemplate. Any joy we might have felt after a long passage was dispelled by the sight of vessels of all sizes and purposes, battered, on the shore.

Standing in the cockpit the following day, that glinting debris was bound straight for me. I reached over the side and grasped an exquisitely conceived varnished-mahogany pin-rail – in the shape of a sperm whale, portside eye a bronze tack, saltgreened - with three holes for belaying pins, each precisely two-centimeters in diameter.

Amid the desolation, I had plucked something beautiful and lovingly crafted – and profoundly sad. A treasured detail of a traditionally rigged boat, because of its pin-rail for running rigging; a European vessel, because of the metric measurement; a craft maintained in Bristol fashion, because of the intricate carving and deep brightwork: Her fate unknown; the prognosis poor. Hurricanes are like this, and October’s Super Storm was no exception.

We first heard of the disturbance that became Hurricane Sandy when, on Oct. 23, PE ad rep Dave Stewart forwarded a heads-up from Oldport Marine, in Newport, R.I., that read: “We’ve been keeping our weather eye on some computer models the past couple of days. There is a tropical depression, TD 18, which looks like it may potentially become either a very strong storm or a hurricane. The time frame is a week for the mid-Atlantic area. We can’t be sure that this will happen, but we want everyone to be aware in case plans need to be made to prepare for severe weather.”

On Friday, Oct. 26, the National Weather Service’s Coastal Marine Zone Forecast for Narragansett Bay predicted: “Monday night: Northeast winds with gusts

A

Points East December 2012

up to 45 knots. Tuesday: East winds 25 to 30 knots, with gusts to 45 knots [nearly 52 miles per hour].” On Oct. 27, the Port of New Bedford chimed in: “Sustained winds 40-50 mph, with wind gusts 60-80 mph expected. The storm surge could be three to six feet by Monday [Oct. 29] evening. . . . The Army Corps reports the [hurricane] barrier could close as early as 5 a.m.

Monday morning.” By Sunday, it was certain Sandy would make landfall near Atlantic City, N.J. The Fox Point Hurricane Barrier in Providence was closed on Monday morning. When gusts hit 50, wind turbines in Providence, Portsmouth, Middletown, Warwick and North Kingstown were shut down. The highest wind velocity in the state, in Westerly, was 86 mph, and the Block Island wave buoy registered 27.2-foot waves.

But the wind and the waves weren’t the only culprits: On Monday, a full moon, a fourfoot-plus tide, and a three- to six-foot storm surge conspired with them to inflict damage to shore and property. By 9:30 p.m., about 113,000 Rhode Island homes and 600,000 Connecticut homes had lost power – but homes were still standing.

Nim Marsh photo

By Tuesday morning, we’d heard that a six-alarm fire had decimated Belle Harbor and Breezy Point, N.Y., destroying more than 80 homes. Forty-three people died in New York City – 18 in Manhattan alone – because of the hurricane. We’d learned of the dismantling of New Jersey coastal communities – 34 storm-related deaths in the state, homes destroyed and buried in sand, roads turned into rivers, an amusement park pushed into the sea. The U.S. death toll was at least 113 as we approached our deadline. Close to three million homes and businesses reportedly were without power, and desperate, wet, cold and hungry residents were crying for help as winter began to set in in earnest.

Forecaster IHS Global Insight says that Sandy will result in $20 billion in property damage and $20 to $30 billion in lost business. But all those zeros seem meaningless when viewed against a backdrop of such human suffering in our own backyard.

I hope that one day I’ll hear from the pin-rail’s creator, but, until I do, it rests in my office as a gentle reminder that life can be so beautiful one moment and oh so very sad the next. editor@pointseast.com

Letters Land-bound docks.

Mystery vessel.

Photo by Bernie Wideman

Old yawl piques Bernie’s curiosity On Oct. 12, as the Bristol 40 I was helping deliver from Robinhood Marine, in Midcoast Maine, to its home in Manchester, Mass., was approaching The Sisters, heading down the coast toward the mouth of the Kennebec River and beyond, I saw a sailboat a mile or so in the distance, making its way up the coast. It seemed to be on a reciprocal course to our own.

As it drew closer, I could see that it had up even less sail than we did. The day was blustery with a smallcraft advisory being broadcast. One didn’t want to expose too much canvas (or Dacron) to the 25-knot gusts.

As the northeast-bound vessel came into sharper focus, it assumed the shape and character of an old wooden craft, around 45 feet, with bowsprit, forestaysail, club-footed jib, main and mizzen, and a hexagonal hooded binnacle for the helmsman.

But it also had a roller-furler for the forestaysail, a radar on the mizzen mast, contemporary sailcloth, and a modern dodger. It seemed to have two crew: one at the helm; the other sheltering inside the dodger. What I couldn’t make out was a name or hailing port. Do any Points East readers know the boat and/or its homeport and/or its provenance.

Dock hauling sad affair at Marston’s What a weekend! Our young crew arrived Saturday morning and never stopped. At the end of Sunday we had all the finger piers and main docks out of the water. Marinas that can leave their docks in the water during the winter don’t get to experience all this “fun.”

This is a huge effort on the part of our dedicated www.pointseast.com

crew to disconnect all the moorings and pull the docks ashore for the winter. It’s a sad time for us. We’d much rather be launching the docks and greeting customers than saying good-bye. I guess it’s what you’d call a bittersweet moment.

So many great customers drop by, reluctant to end their season, wanting only to sail out of the Saco River one more time. We shake hands and talk about how May is only seven months away. Sailors and powerboaters are like that.

One wife told me how grumpy her husband had been lately, having to face the fact that their sailing season was over. Pulling the docks is a huge letdown for us as well. Like at most small marinas, our customers become friends and acquaintances, and we know almost everyone personally. It’s tough to say good-bye to them and to this 2012 boating season.

The guys did some rugged work this weekend.

What’s more they gave up days-off and time with families to give us a hand. Hauling the docks is a tradition with us, and those young guys who have helped us in the past, make time to come back because they just want to be a part of the event. Kind’a like Old Home Week.

Another Good Samaritan saluted I read the “Thanks to two Good Samaritans” in the October/November issue of Points East, and I would like to contribute my thanks to another two Good Samaritans from the Harraseeket River in Freeport, Maine.

Points East December 2012

I rowed out to my Sea Sprite on its mooring near the entrance to the Harraseeket River in August to work on the engine cooling system. I finished my day’s work and clambered back into the cockpit to row back in, planning to finish the work the next day. Something did not look quite right from the cockpit, and I realized that what was “not right” was that my dinghy was no longer clipped to the transom.

Looking around, I saw that it was riding nicely at the next (otherwise empty) mooring, 50 yards away, with the painter luckily snagged on the mooring chain.

The only other boat moving in the harbor was the Sonar Wingnut, tacking out of the Harraseeket for an evening sail. As they approached, the couple waved and commented on what a beautiful evening it was.

I briefly explained my predicament, and asked if they would be so kind as to retrieve my dinghy. No problem: They jibed to go back to the errant dinghy, picked it up, and towed it back to me. They accepted my heartfelt thanks for saving me a cold swim and sailed on. I have learned that the lashing on my new super-slick Spectra painter requires cross-stitching to hold the clip.

I regret not putting a “thank-you” note on Wingnut at its mooring, so maybe this will make up for my oversight.

Out of the mouths of babes . . .

Earlier this year, when we were on Salar with our grandchildren, a funny moment occurred. It was one of our first trips of the season, and I wanted to refresh their memories as to the proper boat terms. They did well, remembering the galley, the fly-bridge and the anchor locker, but when I asked our five-year-old granddaughter what we called the bathroom, a puzzled look came over her face. She thought for a minute, and then, with a proud smile on her face, she exclaimed, “the poop deck!”

Use all your tools for safe passage I’ve read Jim Love’s letter in the August Points East, and subsequent responses in the September and October/November issues, all dealing with crossing situations involving small sailboats and larger schooners. There have been several excellent and constructive remarks and I’ll add one more.

My years on the water have taught me to use whatever tools are at hand to ensure safe passage, and this includes the VHF radio. I hail private vessels on Channel 16 if I have a concern about that vessel’s movement relative to mine. Commercial vessels can usually be contacted on channel 13.

From the crew at Robinhood Marine Center www.robinhoodmarinecenter.com 8

If you don’t know the name of the other vessel, just describe your boat and where you are in relation to the other. The other boat usually appreciates your call and the two of you will quickly come to a passing agreement.

Also, larger vessels usually see you, but your call confirms that you see them. This is a safe boating practice and fosters mutual respect out on the water. Love your magazine.

Terry Dane s/v Sophie Plymouth, Mass.

Both boats should’ve used VHF In Jim Love’s August letter about his schooner encounter (“Race Encounter Was Unsettling”), he asked for ideas about how to handle the situation. Both boats should have monitored and used VHF Channel 16. This is precisely the situation called for under the “hailing” aspect of the channel.

Around here we monitor Channel 13 as well, to listen to the New London ferries and commercial traffic entering Long Island Sound via The Race. They all call each other, all the time, to clarify crossing situations. So too should both vessels in Jim’s encounter.

As a last resort blowing the danger signal is warranted and usually gets someone’s attention.

A note about a Samaritan’s boat Publisher’s note: A follow-up to Joanne’s and my tow back to Wells, Maine, Harbor by Charlie Bernier, Senior and Junior, by Senior’s powerboat Four Aces (“Thanks to Two Good Samaritans,” Letters, October/November): I dropped off a couple of Points East hats onto Charlie Jr.’s sailboat (My Fair Leslie) as a little thank-you. He sent me the following email. – Joe Burke Helping you and your lovely wife get into port was actually the highlight of my father’s wonderful day. My dad has been working on his boat for the last couple of years. It was a project he got a good deal of pleasure from, and at one time, he said he didn’t care if it ever saw water, as he really wanted to be working on a boat again.

It had a blown motor and a half-missing sterndrive.

He hates sterndrives, and promptly ripped it out. I helped him design an outboard bracket (made out of pressure-treated wood and fiberglass), and he managed to find a reasonably priced 88-horse outboard (old, but still ticking, like him). Since then, we have only launched it a few times, each for just a quick test, after which he’d “go back to the drawing board.”

One of his biggest problems was that the propeller was cavitating, and the auxiliary motor (from my last sailboat) actually pushed his boat almost as well as the 88-horse one. The problem was, the stern hung

down too low and interfered with the water’s path to the outboard. So dad had to admit that my idea to cut out a tunnel (when we were first building the bracket) made sense. So, he chopped out a nice tunnel, and it’s made a huge difference.

Another thing that he has been struggling with was his need to stand at the wheel. You see, he has worked for many years as a lobsterman. Since his health declined, he’s become an artist, whose oil paintings are mostly nautical in nature. But to get back to the point, he loved to stand at the wheel.

Well, this boat had a very high floor because of a 64gallon gas tank belowdeck. At first, he made a box in the floor that he could stand in, but finally he broke down and lowered the entire floor, removing the old tank. At 80 years of age, nothing seems to slow him down. With the lower floor, the boat is much nicer to be in, and he is standing proudly.

So after all his work on the boat (including adding and taking away ballast) and a very problematic trailer, he was finally ready to “take me fishing.” I had planned a cruise with my wife, Leslie, on Labor Day, so his trip got postponed. Then he got very sick, which blew all of the next week. And then, Hurricane Leslie came to visit, so that weekend had to be canceled.

But, as you know, when Sunday came around, Leslie (the storm) had loosened her grip. We finally were able to head to sea and enjoyed a wonderful day. I’ve never seen him look happier. His boat performed very well, and he was so proud. Because I was with him, (as his eyes aren’t what they used to be), we were able to see that you weren’t just waving “hi.” It was the frosting on the cake to actually be helping someone else with his “little boat that could.” Mom said he talked about it all night.

‘Riddle of the Sands’ audiobook I just read Sandy Marster’s article about his boating books (Media, October/November). He states that you can buy “Riddle of the Sands” in hardbound form from D. N. Goodchild, and also as a paperback volume or eBook from Modern Library Classics. He notes furthermore that this classic novel was made into a movie. But there’s one more way to enjoy “Riddle of the Sands.” Senior editor Jeremy McGeary has narrated an audiobook version that is available from our download site: www.AudioSeaStories.com. Jeremy did a beautiful job presenting the different voices and accents. So far, “Good Old Boat” has produced 14 audiobooks. “Riddle” is one of our favorites.

May Bounty captain rest in peace In reflecting on the loss, Oct. 29, of the HMS Bounty replica, her captain, and one of her crew, I am reminded that even since the dawn of time, evidenced by the mystical, primitive silt-covered wooden wrecks eerily preserved at the bottom of the Black Sea, captains have lost their lives crossing the great Deep.

And even in the modern world, fine men and women lose their lives and their ships to the sea. Not much has changed in 10 millennia, and the list of lost loved ones and brave men and women, like the tablets of names lining the walls of the churches in Gloucester, Mass., continues to grow and will grow longer yet.

The greatest of sea masters have found their final rest in the deep, unplanned. Capt. Joshua Slocum, who disappeared with Spray in 1909; Capt. Edward Smith,

of the Titantic, in 1912; Capt. Hollis Blanchard of the SS Portland, in 1898; and so many other competent skippers, many who took the lives of their passengers with them. These were men who did not knowingly set out to sea to die, even though they knew, undoubtedly, that such a real possibility is ever-present.

And yet the sea draws us back to her, time and again, and even more strongly each time we’ve had the living devil scared out of us and vowed at the dock “this was my last trip.” As Slocum wrote, “You must then know the sea, and know that you know it, and not forget that she was made to be sailed over.” And this is why we return. “The wonderful sea charmed me from the first,” Slocum admitted.

And yet, as much as any airplane pilot knows the hard truth that, in flying, there is little room for error or miscalculation, it is much the same with the sea, and those of us who have spent time on her in weather both good and foul know this. It doesn’t matter whether a captain is a good man, or an evil one, wellbeloved, or universally feared; the sea has never made any distinction in dealing with them. She is utterly without prejudice or favorites.

Yet the sea is not, as some authors have written, cruel. She has no malice. She is Nature. She is predictable, and also invincible, yet without malevolence.

But she also has no mercy, either. She lives not by sentiment, but by simple laws of physics, laws that are immutable.

Only Mankind is deliberately and intentionally cruel, which is why, perhaps, many men love the sea in spite of herself. She never forgives mistakes; there is no room for error. In Hemingway’s “The Old Man and the Sea,” Santiago muses how the young fishermen refer to the sea as ‘El Mar,’ which is masculine; yet he always thinks of the sea as ‘La Mar,’ feminine, suggesting that she is not always aware of the consequences of her great passions, and cannot then be accused of deliberate desire to do harm.

Men go to sea, and many times they lose their ships and their lives due to lack of preparation, or lack of information. Hindsight is 20/20, so they say; and yet

those who go to sea understand and have learned over many years that while advance preparation is imperative, sea conditions change constantly and send careful plans to the trash-heap, and often quickly. The sea is an ever-changing painter’s canvas with a broad palette, ever in flux, never in stasis.

But I might add, as my opinion, that the two greatest dangers that a captain faces are first, being in a hurry; putting a schedule ahead of prudent decision-making; and secondly, a cocksureness that comes from many years at sea and being lucky one time too many. When we get comfortable and sure of ourselves, this is when we put ourselves in greatest danger.

Perhaps this is why E.J. Smith, on his last passage before his retirement, didn’t slow Titanic when the first warnings about ice came over the Marconi set; or why Hollis Blanchard, with a boat full of Thanksgiving holiday passengers eager to get home, didn’t take the SS Portland back into Boston when he passed Little Brewster light and saw the building intensity of the gale.

But it can also be said that any seasoned mariner who jumps to conclusions about others too quickly is being a fool. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems at the outset. Monday-morning quarterbacking is not the practice of knowledgeable sailors. We can examine what we know at the surface, and form our differing opinions, remembering that the sea herself renders all judgments irrelevant anyway; hers is ultimately final.

I never knew or met the Bounty’s Captain Walbridge. From what I read of him, his many friends and family miss him and grieve dearly for him, as many no doubt do also for young Miss Christian, who also lost her life. But because I, too, follow the sea, I feel the loss more personally – maybe fraternally – than some other person whom I have never known. May Captain Walbridge rest in peace, for surely he rests in good company, with the greatest mariners of history, to echo the sentiments of William Cullen Bryant’s “Thanatopsis.”

I would only hope that there is a far shore, a quiet haven on a still and languid harbor, where all the skippers whom the sea has claimed can lie at ease and hoist a tot of rum together in the late afternoon’s gentle breeze, until it is once again time to welcome a newcomer to their company.

MYSTERY HARBOR/And th e win ner is...

September’s Mystery Harbor as seen on canvas Marine artist Leonard Mizerek, of Westport, Conn., was one of two readers who correctly identified, in the October/November issue, the September Mystery Harbor, which was Essex, Conn. We asked Len to share with us one of his paintings of the Essex waterfront, with a brief explanation. Here is what he sent: “I have always enjoyed painting in Essex Harbor and have returned many times. I am primarily a plein-air artist, known for painting on site, “in the moment.” With painting, it is about the light, and Essex has it big time. Great skies, great boats, and great lighting. A truly great harbor, and one that should not be kept a secret. FMI: www.leonardmizerek.com.”

And now to last month’s Mystery Harbor -- no one guessed it. No one even tried, which is really pitiful.

But we have no pity here at Mystery Harbor HQ, so we’ll repeat last month’s image with a horrible hint from editor Nim Marsh -- hey you asked for it: To draw off + wade across river.

And we’ll repeat the rules: Be the first to identify this mystery harbor and you’ll win a designer Points East yachting cap that will make you the envy of every boater. Tell us a bit about how you know the spot.

Perspectives Why I love Russians or my 50th birthday, my wife gave me a circumnavigation of Newfoundland on a Russian icebreaker. One might question her intent, sending her husband on a trip around “The Rock” at midlife. One might even suspect an ulterior motive. But the confounding element was that it appeared that she truly wanted to come along. How lucky can a husband be?

Our dented, extra-thick steel chariot was one Lyubov Orlova, named after (OK, you “Jeopardy” fanatics, you have 10 seconds): Yes, it was after the famous theater-actress, gifted singer, and first recognized star of Soviet cinema.

We boarded her in St. John, Newfoundland. Honestly, at $535 US for the week for everything, including three meals and mid-afternoon snack, I wasn’t expecting much; in fact, a part of me just hoped to make it back. Old Lova (as I grew to affectionately call her) awaited the 60 of us, her “expedition tourists” in our polar-fleece hats and orange jackets as we filed down the pier toward the gangway, along a crumpled-steel hull that reminded me of a soup can halfway through the kitchen compactor cycle.

“As you know dear, I’m not the most worldly guy in any culinary sense, but I do hope we do not have a Russian chef,” I said to my wife as we climbed the rickety metal boarding platform. I continued. “And just a quick quote from “The Guardian Culinary Review” that I happened to peruse before we left home: ‘At its worst, Russian food is lumps of unidentifiable, grisly meat served with undercooked potatoes.’”

But then I spied Natasha at the top of the gangway.

Nothing lumpy, unidentifiable or grisly there. I turned to my wife, who didn’t appear to have noticed me notice Natasha, and said quickly, “I’ll be cool with the food no matter what honey, cause it’s not about the food.”

She rolled her eyes. “Sweet cabin girls, huh Dave,” was all she said. We’d been 20 years together.

Anyway, off we went, Lova’s big, slow-turning engine letting her lumber away and through the majestic high-cliff entrance of St. John Harbor. Things were looking up. There was a Canadian chef (good), a small private cabin for us way down in the bowels of the ship (close to the engine room and warm), a naturalist and historian (very good), and the free roam of the entire

F

ship, including the bridge (the best).

And, of course, there was Natasha. She was assigned to make up our cabin each morning. My wife befriended her and learned she hadn’t seen her family in a year and a half. She had taken this job to try to save some desperately needed money.

Standing to the side of the tiny cabin, I tried to look thoughtful, sensitive and cool in my matching fleece outfit.

I’ll fast forward the tape to get to the good stuff, since, by now, you all figure that this is about Natasha. We steamed along the north coast of Newfoundland to Terra Nova National Park in search of moose, lynx, bald eagles, and carnivorous pitcher plants; then to L’Anse aux Meadows, where Norseman Leif Erikson is thought to have founded Vinland in 1000 AD; then across the Strait of Belle Isle to Red Bay in Labrador; then back to Newfoundland’s Gros Morne National Park, where we climbed Precambrian cliffs and searched for giant Arctic hare; then over to the St. Pierre and Miquelon islands for a taste of France and the history of bootlegging; and finally to Francois, a remote fishing “outport” community with a population of 124 and accessible only by boat or helicopter.

Now what’s important here is that no vessel the size of old Lova, and certainly not old Lova herself, had ever squeezed into this harbor. It looked impossible. Of course, I had to be on the bridge with my Russian “friends” as we attempted the entrance. The captain, like 100 percent of the entire Russian population, was a chain smoker. It was really tense; I didn’t need to know Russian to understand that.

Fifteen minutes later, we were inside the deep, fjord harbor, anchored under 900-foot cliffs. The captain, a gruff-looking, unshaven man in a navy pea coat, glanced at me as he collapsed in the captain’s chair.

“Dat vuzz a three-cigarette entrance,” he said.

The tiny town of Francois lay before us, nestled along a boardwalk at the foot of these majestic, overhanging rocks. We boarded our Zodiacs and headed ashore. The townspeople were throwing a party and dance for us. It was a magical and long night. My wife gave up before I did and took one of the returning Zodiacs back to the ship. I couldn’t get enough of the place, and after the party I walked along the waterfront before catching the last boat back. I was the final

one of the 60 of us.

A full moon rose over the mountains and the Lova’s stern as I thanked the first mate and climbed the ship’s ladder. The ship was asleep; even most of the deck lights were out. I decided to climb to the afterdeck observation platform to get a good view of the moon before going to my cabin. As I climbed, I heard music. It was a sultry, seductive, belly dance kind of music. And there before me, under the glow of a yellow ship’s deck light, alone on the spacious steel top deck, was Natasha.

The seductive rhythm rose from a boom box by her feet as she danced before me, giving a new level of meaning to the word “undulation.” I started to back away so as not to spoil her private moment. But then she looked up at me. Embarrassed, I tipped my fleece hat, nodded, and began to back away again. In a serpentine manner, she moved toward me, making a come-hither gesture with her right arm.

Later, when I returned to our cabin, my wife was still awake. A small light was on by her bunk bed.

“Glad you made it back; I was worried,” she said, as I gently closed the door. “Remarkable spot,” she continued, as she rolled over and turned off the light. The moon shone through our big round porthole, bathing me in a gauzy half-light.

“Magical,” I said. “Just magical.”

PERSPECTIVE/Constan t

Water ma n

Cats, sailors can take so much civilization oday it rains and I sit at home and write. I should be illustrating: I have two commissions, but I’ve determined to make a new top to my drafting board. My old table had a definable arc to its surface, which made it nearly impossible to keep the parallel rules from jumping about.

There was also the danger of following the curvature and returning whence I departed. This defies the logic of perspective – of vanishing points. It is much like sailing. As the Earth is flat, vanishing points are part of a sailor’s reality; she or he has an actual chance to escape life ashore. If he sails for more than a month in any direction, he’s assured of falling over the edge and vanishing absolutely.

Were the Earth indeed round – as some old Greek has attested – he would always return to his homeport in time and be forced, once again, to manicure the lawn. This is in direct contradiction to the mantra of old sailors: Be glad that your wake dissolves in the sea, otherwise your wife would catch hold of the farther

T

end and reel you in like a haddock.

If there is anything more soul destroying than mowing the lawn (except maybe trimming your beard), I don’t want to know about it. I do my best to avoid doing either but once every couple of years. Varnishing brightwork doesn’t compare to mowing a half-acre lawn. At least when you’ve put the ninth coat of liquid amber on your drop-boards, you’ve created things of beauty. That beauty must be maintained is one of life’s givens.

A half-acre of unkempt lawn, alive with wild violets in a Force-4 breeze, is a thing of beauty. A closely cropped lawn resembles nothing so much as a broad, green rug. And, as everyone knows, the function of rugs is, primarily, to collect as much dirt as possible.

Worst of all, a lawnmower, for all its bluster, won’t even drive your boat through the water at hull speed.

“The Artist” was a perfect choice because it has absolutely nothing to do with sailing, has broad audience appeal, and as a silent movie (although with wonderful music), it would be less likely to disturb peace-loving neighbors. It’s also shot in black and white. We knew our screen wouldn’t be perfect, so flaws would be less noticeable than with a color film. The cruise orga-

CONSTANT WATERMAN, continued from Page 18 and drives MoonWind at four knots through the water. Best of all, I seldom have to empty it of clippings.

A sailor’s needs are few: fuel, fresh water, propane and wind. Oh, and French roast, with just a bit of raw sugar. Life is sweet notwithstanding. Shove off and see for yourself. Let your dog stay home and tend to the lawn. Leave your cat home to supervise the dog.

Believe me, she’s qualified.

I knew of a cat who was left in charge of the household all day while both the parents worked. That cat cooked breakfast, got the children dressed, and washed, and out to catch the schoolbus at seven o’clock each morning. She washed up the breakfast dishes, vacuumed the house, then took the shopping list to the store and gave it to the grocer. The store cooperated by delivering the groceries, after which the cat would put them away. When the children returned at half-past two, she would meet the bus, fix them a snack, and get them started on their homework.

As with every good nanny, she received a half-day off once per fortnight, during which she would disappear into the woods and slay any number of mice and devour them raw. A cat, you know, can tolerate only so much civilization before she reverts to The Good Life.

The same can be said of sailors. Level beds and wellcooked meals are alright in their way, but a sailor pines for nothing save apples to nibble while he fights the helm. And a proper bunk is 22 inches wide – give or take a marlinspike – and shouldn’t be too soft for fear he might not wake should the wind veer suddenly, dumping him out on the deck.

Comfort is not a perquisite of the sailor’s occupation. A sailor I knew spent weeks at a time aboard his sailing dinghy. He had two buckets – one labeled “In,” the other, “Out.” You get the message. So did his wife.

She disavowed, disowned, and generally disabused him of any conjugal equity he might have presumed went with the office of spouse. They parted ways, as sailors do, at the pier. He then embarked in his dinghy on a voyage to the East Indies. He remembered to send me, from Singapore, a card at Christmas that depicts a rickshaw drawn by a pair of reindeer. It seems he lost one of his buckets overboard in a gale, and the label came off the other, and during an interval of utmost doubt and gastronomic depravity, he joined the Jain religion and now eats very little at all.

News Plans are in works for Nova Scotia-Portland ferry Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter is pledging $21million dollars over seven years to help restart a ferry service between Yarmouth, N.S., and the United States. Dexter made the announcement after an expert review panel released its findings on the viability of the service. “There is a great deal of uncertainty,� said Peter Nicholson, a member of the panel. “It’s a risky proposition.� Nicholson said there’s increased competition for tourists, so the service needs a new approach. The panel is suggesting a “cruise� ferry that would carry passengers and vehicles, but also offer such amenities as a dining room, spa or a casino. “That kind of a business model gives you the chance to attract larger passenger numbers,� Nicholson added.

The panel said passenger traffic must increase significantly. The service would need at least 130,000 passengers a year to become commercially viable, they said. When the service ended in 2009, there were 75,000 passengers a year. Nicholson mentioned Portland, Maine, as the link on the American side with the most potential. “The decision to end the CAT ferry and, instead, seek

R.I. hoax call ties up assets during ‘Sandy’ The Coast Guard was investigating a possible hoax mayday call after distress calls – with no position or nature of distress – were made Nov. 1, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, on VHF-FM Channel 16 near Narragansett Bay, R.I. The Coast Guard, in Woods Hole, Mass., determined the call came from the Mount Hope Bay/Providence River area.

A Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew immediately launched an initial search for the source of the call and conducted a second search Friday morning with no signs of distress.

“By policy, the Coast Guard is required to search for every distress call regardless of the assumed source,” said Lt. Bryan Swintek, command center chief, Sector Southeastern New England. “Mayday calls made needlessly put an unnecessary strain on our crews and di-

vert our attention from mariners who are actually in distress.”

In the last two years there have been 23 hoax calls with a male voice off the Warwick area accounting for more than 100 hours of search time by Coast Guard and local responders and costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. “This case is especially frustrating because the helicopters and crews that were used are the same that are providing vital support to the port of New York and the communities affected by Hurricane Sandy across the Eastern Seaboard,” said Capt. Verne Gifford, commander, Sector Southeastern New England.

Anyone who has any information about these calls should contact Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England’s Command Center at 508-457-3211.

Spring Fling The April Classic Boat Rally, in the Intracoastal Waterway, is for sailboats of classic design, 15 to 24 feet long – and for skippers who savor inshore piloting and Old South gatherings of kindred spirits.

By W. R. Cheney For Points East he seventh edition of this rally – 45 miles from Savannah, Ga., to Beaufort, S.C. – was run last April 20-21. The race, which drew six entries, four of which were Marshall Sanderling catboats saw two days of sailing between these famously appealing towns.

Competition is broken up into four individual races: a morning race to a predetermined point along the route, and a second race from that point to the day’s final destination. The waters encountered along the way vary from wide-open sounds, like Port Royal and Calibogue, to fast-flowing tidal rivers, like the Beaufort and the Savannah, to narrow creeks and cuts – which explains, if you didn’t already know, why the Intracoastal is called “The Ditch.”

Scenery varies from shorelines lined with opulent pleasure domes, the abodes of what seem to be endless numbers of the very rich, to the quietude and ageless serenity of vast stretches of pristine marsh.

Here is the realm of the dolphin, the snowy egret and the alligator. As you

The first day’s racing ended with the interesting experience of locking into Windmill Harbor on Hilton Head. Once you have gone through the locks, you are sealed off from Calibogue sound and just about totally protected from the elements.

Windmill Harbor is also home to the elegant South Carolina Yacht Club, where contestants enjoyed filet mignon and grouper washed down with ample quantities of Pinot Noir.

Next morning, the fleet, augmented by the presence of the two open Sanderlings, locked out of the harbor and began the first race of the day headed northeast up Skull Creek bound for G “27” in the Beaufort River, where there would be a finish and a new start for the afternoon race. The going was upwind, causing a spirited tacking duel, until it fell light halfway across Port Royal Sound. With the fleet totally stalled, the committee boat announced a shortened course for the first race, with the finish just be-

yond where the fleet was currently located. This was a happy circumstance for Shorebird because it ensured that Myrdie III, a faster boat upwind, would not have time to catch her and take over 1st place.

Fifi just nipped Shorebird at this finish, but Shorebird now was ahead of Myrdie III, the only other boat in contention for overall honors at this point.

The wind piped up nicely at this point, and the fleet moved on to G “27” for the start of the day’s second race, which would wind up at the Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club.

Like all the races in this event, this was a staggered start, with the slowest boats, according to PHRF rating, going first, followed at intervals by the faster entries. This formula, if every boat performed up to its ideal statistics, would have all boats finishing together.

Thus Diversion started first, followed a minute and a half later by her fellow cuddy Sanderling Shorebird, the difference here because

Diversion was toting a heavy diesel inboard and dragging a propeller, while her sister was not. The rest of the fleet followed at appropriate intervals, the lighter open Sanderlings again giving up some time to the cuddy boats. Starting last was Buddy Sharpton’s nameless Harmony 22 with its low PHRF and great reputation for speed.

Shorebird liked the wind she had, and, after passing Diversion, seemed to be holding her position against the fleet pretty well. As the minutes ticked by, however, it became clear that the two open Sanderlings were moving up. Kitty, in particular, was showing a fine turn of speed and, counter-intuitively, was moving ahead by taking to the center of the river, where one would expect the adverse current to be strongest.

Shorebird’s sorry skipper, your narrator, observed this and said to himself, Ah ha, local knowledge,” and steered for the center of the river in hot pursuit. Looking back, he could not understand why the rest of the fleet was doing just the opposite, tacking away from the rhumb line and going even closer to shore. Shorebird’s lead over the fleet and Myrdie III, her rival for an overall win, seemed insurmountable now, and if her skipper was not dancing a jig and singing at the top of his lungs, he sure felt like it.

As we roared on up the river past the U.S. Marine installations on Parris Island, the fleet looked distant and unthreatening behind.

Only Kitty, up ahead, and Fifi, bearing down to starboard, were of any concern, and neither had enough points to win overall.

Fifi, helmed by Carlos Black and his vivacious wife, Brenda, was certainly doing a number on us, though. That she was going to pass and leave us well behind was clear.

Remembered racing advice that you shouldn’t waste time looking at opponents, but just sail your boat as well as you know how, came back editor@pointseast.com

to us, so I stopped watching the Blacks and gave all my attention to the luff of my sail.

Next time I snuck a glance back over my shoulder, I was amazed to note that Fifi seemed to have vanished into thin air. Then, way astern, I saw her sideways to the fleet and canted over at an uncomfortable angle, aground. She must have been quite close to me when she hit, and but for a few yards in one direction or another, it could have been me. So that’s what “spoil area” means on the chart.

The rest of the race was pretty uneventful. Kitty, ahead, and Shorebird, just behind, kept their lead over the rest of the fleet and crossed the finish line one/two. Jubilant, I did vaguely wonder why we received no gun or horn at the finish.

Only later did I find out the reason the fleet had gone towards shore while I was following Kitty out into mid-river. A buoy was to be rounded, and we had not given sufficient attention to the chart. The penalty was disqualification for both boats. It hurt, but I have to admit, if I had rounded that buoy with the rest of the fleet, everything might have been different.

Myrdie III would have been in much better position then, and it’s anybody’s guess how things would have gone. I learned a lot about “the agony of defeat” that day, but I cherish my placard which says “Savannah to Beaufort, 2nd place.”

Following the race, there was another great dinner, this time at the wonderfully congenial Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club. Grilled Chicken, boiled local shrimp, multitudinous fixin’s, live music, unlimited wine and beer – all for $25.

You can’t beat it.

The awards ceremony saw Jerry Valka get a well deserved Bunky Heifrich Award for “most positive spirit.” It seems the 74-years-young Jerry had started out from Detroit with Diversion in tow, when his car broke down. He managed to get www.pointseast.com

back home and borrow another vehicle. But time was now short, so he now drove 24 hours straight, arriving at the Huddle House restaurant in Beaufort, where he took a short nap in the parking lot, then drove on to the Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club, where he rigged and launched his boat for a pre-race cruise down to Savannah for the start of the Rally. Jerry has no stove on Diversion, so we don’t know what he ate along the way.

Shorebird got the award for “most authentic” classic boat, which I think she deserved because she has some three-strand line aboard, and her brightwork looks a little more like it might do on a working catboat. The “Blue Buoy,” nominally given to the most “navigationally challenged” is actually only given to very experienced and competent sailors who can stand the guff.

tom off Parris Island. The award for most Bristol Fashion Classic Boat also went to Carlos for his immaculate Fifi.

Sunday saw more racing in the Beaufort River, and on Monday was held a race from Beaufort up Brickyard Creek, out into the Coosaw River and around to the Dataw Island Marina, with another awards dinner in the evening. Your narrator retired from this one when the breezes started gusting to 33 knots. Pre-eminent Marshall 22 sailor Roy Crocker won this skirmish in his beautiful True Love.

The Classic Boat Rally 2013 is scheduled for April 24-27, 2013. We will officially begin Wednesday with a lunch at Savannah Yacht Club, followed by a practice race in the afternoon. Thursday, we will sail to Hilton Head Island and South Carolina Yacht Club, where

the entrance is through a lock at Windmill Harbour.

We’ll dine upstairs at SCYC, and some spend the night at Hilton Garden Inn (others will sleep on their boats in the harbor). There are shower accommodations at SCYC. Friday, we will sail north, across Port Royal Sound, to the Beaufort River, and up the river to Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club. BYSC is informal and typically puts on a memorable Lowcountry Boil for dinner (locally caught shrimp, corn on the cob, potatoes, sausage, and sauerkraut or salad (chicken option).

This officially ends the rally, but, for those who want more, we will plan a race to Dataw Yacht Club on Sunday, about 18 miles mostly east. This is just a 20minute drive from downtown Beaufort on the Intracoastal Waterway, meandering wide tidal rivers bordered by endless marshes and wild live oaks with swaying Spanish moss. There are haul-out facilities there for the bigger boats and a ramp for the smaller

ones. If the weather is threatening we’ll have a fallback plan for a race two laps to downtown Beaufort from BYSC. I’ll update as the details develop, but it is fair to say that people should plan for April 24-27. If they can add a day or two on either side of those dates, they will likely be rewarded with perfect weather, gorgeous scenery, and a welcome into the Southern culture in an historical setting.

Skippers interested in bringing their boats to next year’s event could do no better than to contact the race organizer and this year’s winner: Woody Norwood, 678-427-2937, snorwood3@me.com.

2013 as a 196-foot-long, 13½-story-high Tall Ship. Bailey has been involved with the Oliver Hazard Perry Rhode Island (OHPRI) since its inception in 2008.

“This will be the biggest and most sophisticated school ship built in America since the passing of The Sailing School Vessels Act in 1985, and it is the first full-rigged sailing ship to be built in this country in the last 110 years,” said Capt. Bailey, who is no novice to the seafaring life. He has commanded more than half a dozen Tall Ships since 1972, including the HMS Rose when she sailed as the largest active wooden Tall Ship in the world.

This is the story – past, present and future – of the Rose, Capt. Bailey and the Oliver Hazard Perry, written in part from the perspective of long-serving crewmembers.

Capt. Bailey, the son of a windjammer sailor who went missing at sea when Richard was a youngster, tells of the time he and the HMS Rose met. “I went to Newport on a winter-weekend daytrip with some friends and happened upon the ship alongside the dock of what was then the Treadway Hotel (now Newport Harbor Hotel), by the Seamen’s Institute. It was breathtaking to me: All I could think was, ‘How could this possibly exist?’” The start of a lifelong fascination with sail-training vessels began.

In the late 1980s and ’90s, HMS Rose was famous for cruising New England waters and beyond. A squarerigged ship as big as Capt. Richard Bailey’s charisma, both vessel and skipper were renowned in the region for their presence and personality.

Loved by many in the 1990s as part of the Tall Ship seafaring scene, Rose’s forebear was hated passionately

by Rhode Islanders in the Revolutionary War. Too small to fight in fleet battles, her role during the war was to man and victual the British fleet (to locals, this meant cattle rustling and kidnapping local sailors) and disrupt rebel trade.

The city of Newport was built on smuggling. Thanks to Royal Charter by King Charles I, Rhode Island was able to appoint its own customs agents. Being local, they took full advantage and enriched merchants in the colony by allowing smuggling. Many of the old mansions you see in the city were built on this system. The original Rose would almost end this.

According to the tallshiprose.org website: “Since the Rose was much larger than any American vessel of the time, and [Captain] Wallace was very efficient at his job (the Rhode Islanders considered him to be a brutal pirate), smuggling soon came to a relative standstill. This so decimated the economy of Newport, that four-fifths of the population fled inland.”

Her success in breaking Rhode Islanders’ trade, prompted them to form the first “U.S. Navy” to fight her.

You will see the replica of one of those Naval vessels, the sloop Providence, still cruising New England waters today. The two ships never enjoined battle – with 11 main guns on each side, Rose would have smashed the much smaller Providence to matchwood – but the captain of

the U.S. ship would become a folk hero for his later victories. His name was John Paul Jones.

In the late 1960s, British-born John Fitzhugh Millar had a dream – to build a fleet of 18th-century British warships to commemorate the bicentenary of the United States Declaration of Independence. Getting the funds from the bank would be as tricky for the project as getting a mortgage is in this post-credit-crunch world.

Millar recounts his visit to the bank manager: “I went to the manager’s office, told him my plans, and asked for the money. He laughed for a few minutes, then called the entire staff of the bank into his office and told me to set out my proposal to them. They laughed for a full five minutes, and said no.”

Eventually he revised his proposal down to one ship – the Rose because she was the biggest in the fleet – and they offered him $250,000 if he could find someone to build her. Millar travelled the Western world and was quoted around $2 million to build the ship at every shipyard. Then he found a struggling shipbuilder in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. They agreed to build the hull and standing rigging, leaving him to find the running rigging, sails and cannon out of separate funds. She would have no engines, fuel tanks, or any modern facilities. The bank had to eat its words in the face of the 23-year-old’s tenacity and determination.

Bailey would captain the Rose, taking her out for day sails. The ship having no engine taught him skills almost

forgotten since the era when sailing ships ruled the waves. Bailey studied the arts of Tall Ship sailing, and despite being discouraged to do so by his mother, who was widowed by the sea, became a full-time Tall Ship master.

Known in Newport as the captain of this vessel when she was purchased by Kaye Williams from Bridgeport Conn., Bailey was asked to help refit her as a sail-training ship and continue as her skipper. He grabbed this opportunity with both hands. Ship’s and captain’s lives would be entwined for the next 16 years.

Williams had Bailey rebuild her as a sail-school vessel, using volunteers from the community around Bridgeport. During my off-season winter in the city, many would come down to see the ship “they built” and see how she was going almost every day. Though rarely actually in Bridgeport, the community felt a strong ownership of Rose all the time she was there.

Bailey sums up the period of refit: “Over a six-year period saw replacement of every plank and frame from the turn of the bilge to the weatherdeck, a new stem and much transom work in the first year, and then steel interior bulkheads, engines, generators, piping and wiring in subsequent years. Once engines were in, we began to occasionally take the ship to other ports, and by 1991 she was U.S. Coast Guard inspected and certified as the first Class-A-size Sailing School Vessel in America.”

would soon recognise her as she cruised the Great Lakes, the Eastern Seaboard , and even as far as Europe and the Caribbean. I joined the ship in mid-1993 in Erie, Penn., and would leave her at Quebec in mid-1994. While my memories of my time aboard are of being a rebellious, wild 19-year-old, Bailey remembers me warmly by saying: “None stayed as long or got so deep into the ship’s routines.”

As with many who sailed aboard the Rose, my memories are as intense and vivid as yesterday, despite being over a decade old. Bill Kayser’s experience is the same.

Bill, who volunteered for two seasons, in 1995 and ’96, now runs the tallshiprose.org website. He remembers life aboard as “very intense … but she was a well-run ship.

For me, it was a unique experience: It was my first ever job where people swore at me when I did wrong.”

Finding a vignette that describes my own time aboard is difficult. For a 19-year-old, red-blooded man, I have stories that would make them laugh out loud, but would make a middle-aged lady blush. In many ways, life aboard was very similar to that on Captain Wallace’s 18th-century ship during her cruise around the rebellious colonies. I have stories of accidents that would turn the ear of a grizzled old seafarer, one who would understand Capt. Bailey became a full-rigged-ship master aboard the HMS Rose, when she sailed as the largest wooden Tall Ship in the world.

the gravity and fury of the sea at full spate.

We took a group of millionaires who had sponsored a group of working-class school children on a sail on the East River out of South Street Seaport in Manhattan.

One thing we often did on day sails was lead guests up the 130-foot mainmast to show them the world from the perspective of a Tall Ship sailor. The normally confident, well-educated millionaires usually crept up the ratlines inch by inch, in fear of their lives from falling onto the

deck. The working-class kids? When you finally caught up with them at the mast cap, having raced up there with not an ounce of fear, you had to explain to them they could climb no higher – and please hold on.

Life aboard was hard – at sea, eight hours on watch and four hours of ship’s maintenance. Trainees were attached to you from time to time, so over a week, this would mean 16 to 20 hours of duty a day – getting them to bed, getting them up, teaching them everything they

“This will be the biggest and most sophisticated school ship built in America since the passing of The Sailing School Vessels Act in 1985, and it is the first full-rigged sailing ship to be built in this country in the last 110 years.”

Capt. Richard Bailey wished to know, easing their seasickness, and guiding them through the goals they had set for themselves on coming aboard.

For many, this would mean getting to the top of the mainmast. This would take determination on the part of the trainees, to beat their fear of heights, and hours of patience on the part of the crew. Being hugged tightly by a sobbing stockbroker as she or he sat on the main top, physically and emotionally wrung out having gotten halfway up the mast may have been your reward – a priceless memory for trainee and crew alike.

Money was always an issue. Running a 186-foot Class A sail-school vessel (SSV) was not cheap, figures in the region of $1 million a year being bandied about. This would be the ship’s undoing, authoring her route to San Diego and the rotting ignominy of the present day.

Aboard the Rose, we attended parties and festivals, hosted corporate dinners, took day sails and trainees.

Still, she would make massive losses. Even while I was aboard, Bailey had a dream of a ship that would earn her keep from her design and business plan. That dream is now being built as the Oliver Hazard Perry, which will start cruising out of Newport next summer.

Kayser was aboard the Rose when she travelled to Europe in 1995. He’d run into her by buying a copy of a book

by Patrick O’Brian that had a leaflet in it, advertising life aboard Rose. For the European trip, Bailey talked the Sam Adams brewery into sponsoring her. Knowing how the crew enjoyed that beer, I can only wonder at the mayhem. Kayser recounts, “The brewery didn’t offer cash, but rather enough beer to keep an 18th-century crew of the BAILEY, continued on Page 53

THERACIN College dinghy sailors try the big boats A record 425 college sailors from 38 schools, racing 45 borrowed boats, came together over Columbus Day weekend (Oct. 6-7) for the 2012 Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta (IOR) hosted by the Storm Trysail Foundation and the Larchmont (N.Y.) Yacht Club. Schools traveled from Canada, the Midwest, New England and the mid Atlantic states, with the University of Wisconsin Madison traveling the farthest.

The regatta introduces college sailors, most of whom sail dinghies, to the dynamics of big-boat racing.

This regatta also gives college sailors who already have big boat experience a chance to take charge of some very fast and evenly matched offshore boats. The fleet racing boats were divided into five divisions: J/105s (10 boats), J/109s (eight boats), J/44s (five boats), a PHRF class (10 boats) and an IRC class (10 boats). The IRC class,

The Single-handed Regatta, held Sept. 15 out of Kittery Point Yacht Club, New Castle, N.H., saw 16 yachts facing a strong wind and heavy competition. In the Cruising Fleet race, Captain Spiecker’s Airtha took 1st place; followed by the Daly/Brisco cruiser Barefoot Children in 2nd; and Figment, under Captain Reuter’s steady hand in 3rd.

In the Racing Fleet category, Fruitcakes, under the direction of Captain Joyce came in 1st; Vince Todd’s Thora was in 2nd place; and Vox, captained by Janousek rounded out the podium in 3rd place. Commodore’s Cup results were equally competitive, with Thora and Fruitcakes tying for 1st place and Vox in 3rd in the Racing category. In the Cruising category it was Airtha in 1st, Barefoot Children in 2nd, and Figment in 3rd.

The Singlehanded Regatta is a PHRF Racing and Cruising Class race that requires skippers to go it alone. The race includes navigating around government marks between Boone Island and Rye Harbor.

The decision was announced by Josh Adams, managing director of U.S. Olympic Sailing. “After careful consideration, it is clear that we need to take a new direction on the per formance side of the Olympic and Paralympic Sailing Program,” said Adams. “That direction will include a sharper focus on the per formance development of sailors and classes, boatspeed, and being a technically superior team.

Luther Carpenter will serve as interim head coach.

Carpenter, a six-time Games veteran and member of US Sailing’s Olympic coaching staff, will manage the transition with a focus on fall training camps, new class development, and winter/spring planning. He will contribute to the 2013-16 High Performance Plan submitted to the U.S. Olympic Committee and act as a primary contact for sailors and coaches.

Many of Papa’s relationships intersect on his M/V Pilar Hemingway’s Boat: Everything He Loved in Life, and Lost, 1934-1961

By Paul Hendrickson, 704 pp., Random House 2012, hardcover $30, paperback (16.95.

Reviewed by Sandy Marsters For Points East Triangulate. Find where the lines intersect. Go there, to the source. Look around. Listen. Smell the air.

Investigate. Interview. The truth lies nearby.

How could the world need another biography of Ernest Hemingway? How could there be anything yet unknown about this intensely investigated life? Because there are different ways of looking at things, different standards of research, different ideas.

Who would have thought of the boat?

Of Pilar, “That Boat,” the 37-foot cabin cruiser ordered by Ernest Hemingway on borrowed money from the Wheeler Shipyard in Brooklyn, N.Y., where there is nothing but mud and grime now (though a Wheeler descendant is making a go of it in North Carolina at the Wheeler Yacht Company)? But, in 1935, Wheeler was building lots of boats in Brooklyn, selling them through flashy brochures and even in a Park Avenue showroom, and the shipyard took Hemingway’s order for a version of the “Playmate” model, manned-up with black paint, low-cut stern, and an extra engine and screw for fishing.

He had to start somewhere, so Pilar was where biographer Paul Hendrickson decided to begin with this

fascinating and exhaustively researched and very personal biography: “Hemingway’s Boat: Everything He Loved In Life, and Lost.”

Hemingway wasn’t the type to upgrade every year at the annual boat show. He had his boat. He loved it.

He kept it. He shared it. He didn’t use it the way celebrities these days use their boats – flying here and there to catch up with a professional crew. He cruised it. He fished it hard. Whatever else was going on in his deeply troubled life, there was Pilar, ready to go.

A man’s boat. So much to learn about him there, so many clues to a complicated life.

“He’d written achy, generous, uplifting, poetic letters on this boat. He’d propositioned women on this boat,” Hendrickson wrote. “He’d hunted German subs on this boat. He’d saved guests and family members from shark attack on this boat. He’d acted like a boor and a bully and an overly competitive jerk on this boat. She’d been intimately his, and he hers, for 27 years, which were his final 27 years. She’d lasted through three wives, the Nobel Prize, and all his ruin. He’d owned her, fished her, worked her, rode her, from the waters of Key West to the Bahamas to the Dry Tortugas to the north coast and archipelagoes of Cuba.

She wasn’t a figment or a dream or a literary theory or somebody’s psychosexual interpretation – she was actual.”

Hendrickson goes to great lengths to help us to know ONBOARD, NO DETAIL HAS BEEN LEFT UNEXPLORED.

Pilar, tracking down members of the Wheeler family, researching company history. The depth and detail of his work is astonishing.

Hemingway’s super-sized life, of course, happens on and off the boat, in Africa, in Europe, in Cuba, Key West, New York City, and Ketchum, Idaho. It’s a boozy mess, certainly, on and off the boat, but Hendrickson builds a strong case for an honorable and brave man who was much maligned and misunderstood by his critics. To understand him, Hendrickson believes, you have to look in the corners and study the evidence.

As boaters ourselves, we know that time on a boat is not a 2 + 2 equation, that, somehow, it all adds up to something much, much more.

That’s when the inevitable life/boat metaphors begin, a temptation that Hendrickson avoids except to theorize that Pilar gave Hemingway the vision to see new possibilities in his writing. “I believe Pilar was a key part of the change, allowing him to go farther out, where you don’t see shoreline,” he wrote.

This is not a biography that uses a boat to try to understand a man.

Rather, it explores relationships whose vectors, at some point, intersect at Pilar. The most fascinating of these is friend Walter Houks, who provides much new information here; the most touching is Hemingway’s youngest and most troubled son, Gigi.

Still, so much comes back to the boat and the sea. “You know you love the sea and would not be anywhere else,” he quotes from Hemingway’s “Islands in the Stream.”

“She is just there and the wind moves her and the current moves her and they fight on her surface, but down below none of it matters.”

This calendar will get you to launch day and beyond The 2013 Calendar of Wooden Boats Photos by Benjamin Mendlowitz, text by Maynard Bray, Noah Publications, www.noahpublications.com, $16.95.

Whether we ply our favorite waters in a boats built of fiberglass, aluminum, steel or composites, much of what we thrill to in our boats derives from the world of wooden boats. Thus it is always with great glee that we receive the “Calendar of Wooden Boats” for the coming year.

We opened the 2013 edition to January and were blown away by Benjamin’s image of the 36-foot yawl Emily Marshall, hard on the wind, bashing into a low head sea toward a barren pine-laced shore. Designed by S.S. Crocker, she was built by George Guilliford in Saugus, Mass, in 1946. What a way to start the year!

Turn to February, and the sweet sheer of the 83-foot sardine carrier Jacob Pike quickly captivates. Built in 1949 by Newbert & Wallace in Thomaston, Maine, she now carries bait and diesel to Vinalhaven lobstermen.

March brings the 95-foot Gamage-built schooner Mary Day near the edge of a fogbank, downwind of the

schooner Heritage, about to be enveloped by it.

If you revel in light-air estuarine sailing, April, which offers a delicious shot of an 18-foot Starling Burgess/Wm. Chamberlain Bay Bird, built last year

by Pleasant Bay Boat & Spar Co., following a 14-foot Merv Hammatt-designed Pleasant Bay Boat-built Classic catboat – both skippers playing their windships like musical instruments.

Flip over to May, and you’ll see the 31-foot lobsterboat Charlena, designed and built

by Newell McLain, of Thomaston, Maine, in 1943, motoring toward the reflection of a full moon, hardly disturbing the mirrored surface. Flaring bow, tumblehome stern, handsome sheer, rounded cabin trunk: What a treasure!

The remaining months serve up the 85-foot ketch Belle Aventure; We3, a Buzzard Bay 12½, and Allene, a Haven 12½; Spirit of Bermuda, an 86-foot schooner; Spartan, a New York 50; Silas, a 14-foot peapod; the 46-foot cruiser/racer Nellie; and Spirit, a Wianno Senior. And speaking of months, thank the Lord there’s only four or five more of them until many of us head for our own Seven League Boots, be they fiberglass, aluminum, steel, or composite. Or maybe wood.

BAILEY, continued from Page 43 ship in alcohol rations for the entire trip….” The ship being dry at sea, he adds, “When we were in Europe, there was always a party with the other ships, and we supplied the beer.”

In 2001 Hollywood made an offer that couldn’t be refused. They bought the ship, paid off her debts, and used her as the set for “Master and Commander.” Bailey was aboard for a time, but ship and master parted company.

He’s renowned for quoting the Royal Navy’s greatest admiral, Lord Nelson, when he bemoans, “Men and ships rot at the dock.”

Asked to elucidate on the Rose now, he says that getting her seaworthy as a sail-training ship again is too big a task. “The ship has boosted revenues for the museum where she’s berthed, but a movie ship is not really much of a legitimate museum object; she sails maybe once a year. I don’t think she could be an SSV again for less than a few million dollars, if it’s possible at all.”

Bailey was married for a time and now has two daughters. The sea and the idea of another New England Class A sail-training vessel never left him, and he’s been developing the idea of a sail training ship, Oliver Hazard Perry, which reportedly will be fully fitted and ready to sail for summer 2013.

OHP, made of steel and not rot-prone white oak, seems to be designed around her business plan, where Rose had

a business plan fitted around her design. Everything aboard OHP is designed to maximize income and work around the uses she will be put to. A classroom, science laboratory, and electronic navigation stations will be installed; as I wrote this, groups of teachers were being consulted as to their ideal seaborne teaching environment.

Local universities are creating accredited courses that will be in part fulfilled at sea, in everything from high school teacher training to marine biology and navigation.

Director of Education Jessica Wurzbacher explains, “She will be infinitely customizable: We will do what our clients want us to do.”

In building the ship around her purpose, as opposed to building a purpose around the ship, Oliver Hazard Perry should make enough money to survive and not have an Icarus-like climb to the limelight before falling to ignominy as a museum attraction. Bailey says of the new ship, “Well, I certainly had a dream of a steel ship, and Oliver Hazard Perry is pretty much that ship.” In building her around the work she was designed to do, with luck the same fate won’t befall her that did her predecessor.

NEB is building a Zurn 50 commuter yacht New England Boatworks, in Portsmouth, R.I., is building a 50-foot Downeast-style commuter yacht from the board of Zurn Yacht Design of Marblehead, Mass. NEB has scheduled a spring launch date.

With the lines of a New England lobster yacht, the 50 is a high-performance cruiser. Designed by Doug Zurn, its twin MAN 1,550-horsepower diesels and Rolls Royce jet drives give this purpose-built commuter-yacht a top speed approaching 60 knots. It will cruise comfortably at 50, and, Zurn says, its “latest integrated ride-control technology” will provide a comfortable ride and nimble maneuvering.

The Zurn 50 has a large cockpit, with removable port and starboard daybeds, accessed by a transom door from the swim platform or via concealed fold-out steps in the cockpit sides. As this vessel has been designed as a commuter yacht, the pilothouse contains an office area to port and a comfortable settee to starboard. The pilothouse has a helm station with navigation and control electronics, a beverage fridge, and STIDD Systems (Greenport, N.Y.) seating. Below, an L-shaped galley is to port, and a large head and shower are to starboard. A

Top: The Zurn 50 is constructed in strong, lightweight Eglass and infused epoxy resins over a foam core. Above: As its primary use will be as a commuter yacht, note the raised-deck area aft of the helm, which contains an office area to port and a comfortable settee to starboard.

queen island-berth is in the forward stateroom, which has cedar-lined cabinetry.

This semi-custom vessel can be built with a number of interior and deck layouts, as well as alternative propulsion systems. Principal specifications: LOA 50’ 0”; Disp 42,000 lbs.; Beam: 14’ 5”; Draft 2’ 6” Fuel: 670 gals.; Water: 68 gals.; Power: twin 1,550-hp MAN diesels; Speed: 60 knots.

Lyman-Morse 55 design is refined by 250,000 miles worth of ideas Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding, in Thomaston, Maine, is building the Lyman-Morse 55, designed by Chuck Paine and Ed Joy, with the insight Cabot and Heidi Lyman gained from their circumnavigation. Add to this the experience of the designers, and there are more than 250,000 ocean miles behind the conception of this new voyaging boat.

The Lyman-Morse 55 has been designed to go to sea, the builder says. Moderate in displacement, the hull shape provides a fine entry at the bow, a midship section for maximum stability, and a stern that makes for an exhilarating turn of speed in a strong following breeze.

The LM 55 is built of resin-infused fiberglass, with 54 Points East December 2012

Great Harbor Boatworks wins $4K grant Great Harbor Boatworks, in Southwest Harbor, Maine, reports that owner Richard Stanley and MDI High School sophomore Ryan Snow have been approved for a $4,000 Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Grant from the Maine Arts Commission. Stanley and his apprentice have been building a traditional 19-foot gaff-rigged daysailer. They began with a keel built by the crew at Ralph Stanley’s old shop that had been gathering dust along the back wall of the boathouse. “The 19-foot daysailer design was a goodsized project to take an apprentice through – big enough to get a true sense of the scope of this kind of undertaking, but small enough to be able to build and finish on our own, in a reasonable amount of time,” says Stanley.

Briefly Front Street Shipyard, in Belfast, Maine, has announced that W-Class yachts, as the line is expanded to include 1000, 123- and 135-foot models, will be built with support from shipwrights at Rockport Marine, in Rockport, Maine, and Brooklin Boat Yard, in Brooklin, Maine. The first of the new designs, the W.123, was developed by Bruce Johnson (formerly of Sparkman & Stephens) in collaboration with Rockport Marine Yacht Design.

The new racer/cruiser yachts will retain the “Spirit of Tradition” and performance attributes of the existing W-Class Yacht Company’s W.37, W.46 and W.76 models. FMI: www.frontstreetshipyard.com.

Snug quarters in the lee at Corea.

Bad day at Corea urching and lunging her way past Schoodic Island, the Leight’s mast described wide arcs against a Kansas-tornado sky. The suddenly snotty southerly, at odds with an ebbing tide, churned up a growling siege of seas.

There was a raw edge to the wind and a hundred things on our mind as we struggled into foul-weather gear. In the mad muddle of moments available to decide how to respond, we jibed over for Corea, the best of a less than ideal selection of nearby shelters, where we hoped to be spared the full fury of weather and waves.

Six miles north of the layline between Mount Desert and Roque Island, the little teapot of a harbor is possessed of challenges and charms. Of attractions, it’s reasonably sheltered and has not in the least been tarted up for tourists. There are no services, restaurants, gift shops, rental moorings, grocery store or wireless signals.

Of difficulties, a gathering of shoals lurks along the

L

58 Points East December 2012

way, and we were soon straining to hold a course between breakers creaming over Little Black and Big Black ledges. The GPS renderings seemed unsatisfying against the madness a few boat lengths away.

Skirting close aboard the jolt of granite and greenery that is Western Island, we were tossed about in a confusing corruption of seas, the uproar of crashing surf radiating through the water. Clearing it, the sloop left a wake of spun glass as we curved northeastward, soundings declining into single digits as Leigh crawled forward and wrestled the jib to the deck.

Squaring away into the slender gut making into the anchorage, summer cottages and the lobster cooperative flashed by a few yards to starboard. We were going much too fast, but there was no room to round up and strike sail. Rushing past the fishing fleet, engine ticking over, the depths declined rapidly, and there was no time for anything but action. Sheering about in an uproar of slatting sail, the mate deftly picked up a mooring between two lobster boats. editor@pointseast.com

Six miles north of the layline between Mount Desert and Roque Island, the little teapot of a harbor is possessed of challenges and charms.

Of attractions, it’s reasonably sheltered and has not in the least been tarted up for tourists.

There was barely time for a rough furl before rain swept the harbor and we retreated to the cabin, gusts of wind thrumming the halyards as the sloop danced about nervously. Setting the lantern alight, flickering flames added a cozy ambiance as volleys of showers washed the cabin top. It seemed like one of those winter days when I am content to hang out in the den, watch falling snow transform the world, and live an interior life. Getting out a drawing pad, I was soon lost in the soothing temper of it and made two rather bad sketches, but art nonetheless.

A steaming pot of chicken soup on the stove fogged up the ports, which we cleared occasionally to keep watch on the fleet and straggle of houses and fish shacks perched atop the bold swell of shore. The broth seemed all the more cheering for the flurry of weather.

There was not a soul out and about. Reclining on my berth afterward, I looked up “transmogrify” in the dictionary while Leigh brought the log up to date. Pulling up a blanket, I was soon lost in the soft billows of a nap, the whisper of rain, and wind dance, too seductive to resist.

Well into the pages of Anthony Bailey’s “Coast of Summer,” a John Coltrane refrain brought me back to the moment, where I found clearing skies, easing wind and the shimmering heights of Bar Island painted upon silky waters in the lee. Gulls took to the air, a man in a skiff waved as he motored by, and Leigh opened a bottle of wine.

We had actual conversations, speculated on life, discussed renting a crofter’s cottage in the Hebrides, and visiting every pub within cycling distance. I prevailed at rummy, won a foot rub, and found much contentment in a bad day at Corea.

Only a few words were harmed in the writing of David Buckman’s book, “Bucking the Tide,” which is about discovering the New England and Fundy coasts in a leaky, wreck of an 18-foot sloop. Only slightly less lurid than “Fifty Shades of Grey,” it’s available at www.eastworkspublications.com. www.pointseast.com

FINAL George Griffith

PASSAGES/T h ey

will b e missed

The creator of the Cal 40, arguably the most influential racing sailboat of the second half of the 20th century, died in late September aboard his motorboat Sarissa, between Catalina Island and the California mainland. He sailed his first Transpac in 1941 on the 45foot cutter Pajara, finishing 2nd on corrected time.

After WWII, during which he built warships in Houston, he conspired with naval architect Bill Lapworth on the design of a 36footer, and then a 40-footer. George was credited with the shallow sections, fin keel, spade rudder and light construction of the Cal 40. In the first Transpac for the Cal 40’s launch, in 1965, the downwind flyers finished 1-1, 2-2, 6-3, and 5th7th in Class C. George sailed on overall winner Psyche with a crew including skipper Don Salisbury, navigator Ben Mitchell, and builder George Jensen. Needless to say, downwind sailing was never the same again.

His ashes were scattered off the west end of Catalina, the last mark before Diamond Head.

was a contributing writer to “A Cruising Guide to the New England Coast” and “Boating Almanac,” and was a columnist for “Offshore” magazine.

Tink received a bachelor’s degree from Wellesley College, a master’s from Rutgers, and a PhD from Columbia University.

For many years Tink wrote the “Around the Waterfront” column in the Winthrop “Transcript.” She was a tireless advocate for the harbor, for clammers and fishermen, for sailing, for water quality, safer boating, protecting our estuaries and harbors, for educating folks about our aquatic world – enjoying it, protecting it, and navigating it safely.

She was something of an expert on tides and tidal phenomena and once traveled the coast from Manhattan to Calais, Maine, selling the “Eldridge Tide and Pilot Book.” She was a commander in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. Donations may be sent in her memory to The Friends of Belle Isle Marsh, dedicated to preserving the marsh and publicizing its importance as a natural resource.

Francisco, Calif., where he won the El Toro Nationals at age 17 in 1959. After moving East, he began sailing Sunfish. He won the North Americans in 1982 and served as class president in 1992-93. He also won the International and U.S. Masters Championships many times, representing his country in the Laser Class at the Maccabiah Games in 1985.

A Vietnam War veteran, Dr. Ruby was a renowned surgeon who established the orthopedic handsurgery division at the Tufts-New England Medical Center. He was constantly patching up damaged hands and fingers for sailors, after heavy-air race days. Those who knew Len take comfort in knowing he died while doing his favorite thing: sailing on Waqouit Bay.

Frederick Converse Elson 82, Barrington, R.I.

Also known as Fred, Freddy or Gramps, Mr. Elson died at home Sept. 16. Fred, an outstanding athlete, attended Providence Country Day, Taber Academy and Brown University. He later enlisted in the U.S. Navy before joining the family business, then purchasing New England Marine Electronics. He was on the board of directors for Stanley’s Boatyard, and eventually became vice president of Striper Marina of Barrington. He was a former member of the Barrington and Tyler Point yacht clubs. An avid fisherman and yachtsman, his love of the water both in the tiny town of Galilee and from his view of the Barrington River made his life complete.

national champion, died Sept. 21. In the early ’60s, John worked with Gene Reichert, Chuck Krasne, Jim Fulton and others to establish the class association and strict rules that govern its success even today. He came up with the name “Ensign” to differentiate the boat from Pearson’s “Electra” and designed the “E” with six stars that make up the insignia.

In 1972 he moved the family from Larchmont, N.Y., to Wolfeboro, on Lake Winnipesaukee, quitting the advertising business to run his own marina. He picked up the Pearson line, started selling Ensigns, and launched Fleet 64. Over the years he hosted grudge matches between Fleet 64 and Marblehead, Regional Championships, and, ultimately, the 1990 Nationals.

John owned two different boats – No. 60 Pourquoi! and No. 170 Watercolors. Sailing was his sport from youth, and the Ensign his boat from the day he acquired Pourquoi!.

Christopher R. Shippee 38, Saunderstown, R.I.

Christopher passed away Oct. 15. He was an avid sailor and racer, being part of the Lady Virginia and Renegade race teams as well as the Wickford Yacht Club Seadog Fleet. He was a ski instructor, and he loved biking, golf, hiking, fishing, gardening and the outdoors. Chris was the social vice president of Monsignor Matthew F. Clarke School in Wakefield, R.I., and a communicant at St. Thomas More Church. A loving smile and a warm word to all made him a welcome addition to any crowd where he put a smile on people’s faces.

Robert W. “Bob” Sides 96, Marblehead, Mass.

“When Bob passed away on Oct. 21, the world lost one kind, caring gentleman,” wrote Ken Block on “Scuttlebutt.” “While not well known at the national level, Bob was a top sailor in the Triangle, 210 and International Etchells classes around the North Shore of Boston. But more so, he did everything in his life with such passion and honor that his reputation became legendary.

Bob graduated from Phillips Academy Andover ‘34 and Harvard ‘38. He was the long-term director of admissions as well as a teacher of mathematics and celestial navigation at Phillips Academy Andover from 1938 through 1972. He also coached sailing, tennis, squash and golf. He was one of the founders of the Secondary School Admissions Testing Program (SSAT). In his early years, he was also a champion golfer, and he remained a competitive tennis player until age 93. He was also a passionate birder.

“When sailing with Bob at the 1998 Etchells Worlds, www.pointseast.com

on a tow back into Marblehead, we picked up John Bertrand,” Ken Block wrote on “Scuttlebutt.” “Bob spoke to Bertrand and said it was an honor to be towed in with such a famous dignitary. John replied back that around here that honor was being towed in with Bob Sides.

“Then there was the day Dr. Dave Gundy accidentally clipped us in a port-starboard crossing. Instead of doing a 720, Dave sailed in. At the bar, when asked why he didn’t simply do his circles, Dave replied, ‘I hit Bob Sides, a 720 isn’t enough punishment.’ Good-bye skipper, we will never forget you.”

Sturgis R. Haskins 72, Sorrento, Maine

Sturgis died Sept. 29 at a Bangor hospital. He grew up in Sorrento, and while away for studies in the 1960s and ’70s, he returned home summers to sail on his beloved Frenchmen’s Bay and other areas along the Maine coast. Sturgis had a keen interest in and knowledge of local and Maine history, literature, art, architecture and boating. He also became a fine and prolific photographer, amassing a large collection of pictures of Maine people, places and events. He was well known for his knowledge and expertise in the classes of New England boats.

“Sturge,” as he was called, was both a junior and senior Maine sailing champion. For years he worked as a sailing instructor, teaching many young people, and even some famous people, how to sail. He published many articles, mostly on classes of boats and boating, in “Down East,” “WoodenBoat,” “Yankee” and “National Fisherman.” He was the founder or co-founder of several organizations, including Maine Antique Boat Race, Chiltern Mountain Club, Downeast Outing Club, and Sullivan-Sorrento Historical Society. Sturge was on the planning board of Great Harbor Marine Museum, Northeast Harbor.

Elda E. Coppa 94, North Kingstown, R.I.

Mrs. Coppa, a resident of Providence, and North Kingstown, where she summered for more than 50 years, passed away Oct. 27. A charter member of Wickford Yacht Club, in Wickford, R.I., she especially loved sailing aboard Special Delivery. In 1943 she was maid of honor at the christening of the submarine USS Plaice, which was sponsored by her cousin, Eleanor Fazzi. She taught in the Providence School system, was a long-time volunteer at Women & Infants Hospital, a Girl Scout leader, and she enjoyed cooking, reading, swimming, boating and traveling.

WORD/Capt.

Rob er t Brown

The skipper and first mate of this 46-foot Post Sportfish have adjusted nicely in creative ways.

Photo by Trish McGregor

Powerboating and the high cost of fuel hen we purchased our 46-foot Post sportfisherman, it was to be our “retirement condo.”

We would practice living aboard HalfMine to prepare for our retirement years. This we have been doing for the past six years.

Initially, we had discussed taking the boat south for the winters, docking in a quaint marina at Lighthouse Point, Fla., moving when we get tired of the location, or our neighbors, occasionally flying north to visit our children and grandchildren, occasionally having them visit us.

Louise and I rarely “have words;” however, just the other night, I brought up the subject of “taking our condo south.” “We bought this boat seven years ago as our retirement home to be in Florida during the winters,” I said to her. “This was the year we were to go south, remember?”

Her response was immediate and direct: “You are

W

such a dreamer! You’ve always been a dreamer, but let’s face facts: We can’t afford to take the boat to Florida. Do the math.”

Louise is, of course, correct, and here is why: We owned our 34-foot Sea Ray from 2002-2007. That version of HalfMine held 126 gallons of gas; gas was $1.70 per gallon. In ’07, gas prices had risen to just under $3 per gallon. With our Sea Ray, we traveled everywhere, affordably, and we loved our travels.

Our current HalfMine, the 46-foot Post Sportfish, carries 650 gallons of diesel fuel. In 2007, fuel prices had risen to just over $3.11 per gallon; when we fueled up for winter storage last week, we paid $4.29 per gallon. In comparing our current situation to our previous situation, even I can understand what has happened to our plan.

In 2002, our Sea Ray could have made the trip to Lighthouse Point – 1,600 miles give or take, at a comeditor@pointseast.com

In comparison, our Post could now make the same 1,600 mile trip, also at a comfortable 21-knot cruise speed, burning 42 gallons per hour (21 per motor), taking the same 76 hours, at $4.29 per gallon, costing in excess of $13,728. fortable 21 knots, burning 32 gallons per hour (16 per motor), taking approximately 76 hours (not including stops for fuel, overnights, etc.), at $1.70 per gallon, costing in the neighborhood of $4,135. The downside of taking our Sea Ray to Florida would have been the need to stop every 3.5 hours to refuel (22 fuel stops).

In comparison, our Post could now make the same 1,600 mile trip, also at a comfortable 21-knot cruise speed, burning 42 gallons per hour (21 per motor), taking the same 76 hours, at $4.29 per gallon, costing in excess of $13,728. We did, however, purchase the best “portable condo” for our dream trip: We would only need to stop for fuel every 15 hours of travel (five fuel stops).

This, of course, is only the one-way trip; $27,456 will get us there and back for next summer (not including slip rentals and travel while there; we’d save the winter storage, but would need to clean the bottom paint more often).

It’s pretty obvious, even to this dreamer, that the

cost of fuel is what is hampering our travel plans. In fact, fuel prices have seriously affected all of our recent (2007-2012) long-distance travel activity.

Alas, we have been considering – just considering mind you – “course changes.” I will, however, continue to dream – of the ICW trip, the Great Loop, and maybe a trawler with a single Yanmar diesel.

One of our first thoughts was to get out of boating altogether, buy a motor home, and see the country. Of course, doing that would still subject us to fuel prices, plus Louise would have to drive because I hate driving.

More likely, the RV would stay parked in our son’s yard in Norwell, so we could live in it during the winter months. I believe we’ve eliminated the RV thought for now.

We currently spend much of our summer on our mooring in Massachusetts’ Ipswich River. What about buying a houseboat and putting it on our mooring, we’ve thought? We could sell the Post, buy a smaller, cheaper-to-run boat, tie up to our houseboat. and in-

We started to get our anchor out, but found we were conveniently drifting upriver, with the tide, toward a 54-foot sailboat moored in the middle of the river. We were able to secure ourselves to a stern cleat of the unoccupied boat, at which point the captain of The Little Vessel (me) received reprimands from both passengers.

As we sat in the middle of the river, we discussed our options. It was almost dark; there were no other boats out; there was no activity of any kind in the near vicinity; there was no answer on channel 16; there was no answer on any VHF channel; Brian, our marina owner, had left for the day. Then I remembered I had downloaded the Boat U.S. app on my new smartphone.

I touched the app, then the “Call Now for a Tow” button, and, lo and behold, someone in Alabama or Tennessee answered immediately. He located us per our GPS tracking on the phone, and 20 minutes later a towboat arrived. The towboat captain gave us his fivegallon plastic can of fuel, which we transferred to our tank. After priming the motor, our Evinrude came to life, allowing us to return to the dock. The only thing not covered by Boat U.S. was the cost of the fuel, $25.

Paul thought we should tip him an additional $5 for the trip out, so our total cost was $30 for five gallons ($6 per gallon) – the most we have ever paid for fuel.

But this time it was well worth the price.

So, regarding powerboating and fuel prices, it has been a tough few years. However, I will continue to dream (about those prices going down), and Louise will continue to say, “What? Are you out of your mind?”

Capt. Robert Brown and his wife Louise continue their boating adventures out of Cove Marina on the Merrimack River in Salisbury, Mass. They live in the off-season by the sea, at North Beach in Hampton, N.H. In 2004, Bob successfully completed the U.S. Coast Guard examination and received his 100-ton Master’s license. Since then, he and his mates have traveled the waterways from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to Bar Harbor, Maine, and have enjoyed three bare-boat adventures in the British Virgin Islands and one in the South of France.
