Letters 1948). It’s titled “Rooftops of St. George’s, Bermuda, done in November 1910. Relatively unknown for many years, his works are now gradually being rediscovered.

“Well, not exactly. It’s a photo taken by me in November 2010 in St. George’s. I do a lot of work with Photoshop. You can take a photo (has to be the ‘right’ photo) and apply a transformation to it that makes it look like a watercolor (or oil, or palette knife, or charcoal). And if the photo is ‘right,’ and you fiddle with the parameters correctly, you can actually get something nice out of it that people will think is an honest-to-gosh painting.”

Did Uffa copy Chapin’s Moby Dick?

Photo by Capt. Mike Martel

No, this is not a recently discovered work by forgettable luminist C. Dabbitt Butterworth, but rather the Photoshop dabblings of our Capt. Mike.

New England Autumn reverie Early morning. I step outside to low, scudding clouds, and a strong breeze coming across the land from the distant sea, smelling of sweet brine. It is warmer than it ought to be, quite humid, and I pause for there is strangeness in the air, a feeling of someplace else. It sparks my senses, tickles my memory; it is a memory of a time in the past.

After barely a minute, I know what it is; it is Bermuda in November, and a gale is building. In my mind’s eye, the big orange windsock atop the far hill across the harbor is out straight; the palm trees are being lashed by the wind where they stand in profile and unprotected high on the hill above the northeast end of St. George’s. It has rained during the night; there is the scent of wet limestone, ancient coral, and always the sea on this low island, a spot of land in the midst of a wide, blue sea, a low archipelago that the ocean’s winds blow across practically unhindered without taking notice.

But no, I am instead here on the mainland, preparing to head off to the day’s work, another day like many before it and many to come. The spirit is willing to cast off all lines, but the flesh is obligated.

Capt. Michael L. Martel Bristol, R.I. Editor’s note: When we asked Capt. Mike about the textures in this image of St. George’s, he wrote: “Are referring to that classic watercolor by the lesser known American luminist C. Dabbitt Brushworth (1870www.pointseast.com

I do not know much about Pilgrim-class sloops or the Chapin boat (Editor’s Page, October/November, “Where Are They Now?”) but the boat in the picture labeled Whale-back sloop sure looks to me to be an Atalanta sloop, a 26-footer designed by Uffa Fox and built in the 1950s. If it is not, it sure is remarkably the same. I know because I sailed one for many years in the early ’70s.

I was informed that its look came after British Naval lifeboats that were air dropped into the North Sea during WWII. It was designed to be a trailerable cruiser and to take mudflats with retractable double iron keels and rudder. Mine had an Atomic Four engine, center cockpit, and only drew just over two feet with everything up, which gave us great access to interesting gunkholes.

The hull was built of cold-molded mahogany plywood, and the design had great features like rolling boom and Bakelite winches. The look was intriguing to many, and it got us several dinner invites as we cruised from Marblehead to Maine for several summers. Maybe Uffa copied the whaleback sloop named Moby Dick.

Marc Lorraine Rockport Maine Editor’s note: Thanks Marc. We have not yet received any Moby Dick sightings. While this isn’t the 42foot Moby Dick, you bring up some interesting and relevant design features that apply to both boats. And let’s not forget Cy Hamlin’s and E. Farnum Butler’s 25foot Maine-built, reverse-sheer Amphibi-Con, originally cedar-strip-planked and edge-glued to oak frames in the 1950s. And the 37-foot reverse-sheer Controversy, developed by Mount Desert Yacht Yard, Hull No. 1 of which was launched in 1953 for the owner of the yard, one Farnham Butler.

It’s a sad time at Marston’s Marina This is our last weekend of the marina season. We close up shop on Oct. 15. I’ll turn off the shore power the next day, and then we’ll be flat out for two weeks pulling the docks. Keeps me very depressed. As you know, I’d much rather it was spring and we were putting the marina back in the water.

Tuna guys are having one last fling. I heard today the fish are just offshore, and a crowd of boats is having a field day. I know of four boats from our place that are out, and one of them has already boated a tuna.

I’ve had a couple of pump-outs today. Seems like the

last step before hauling the boat or unstepping the mast is to get the holding tank pumped out. In between, we’re dodging some rain showers. Tomorrow, however, is supposed to be sunny and clear. Should be another busy day hauling boats.

Randy Randall Marston’s Marina Saco, Maine Correction: In the October/November editorial, entitled “Where Are They Now,” the editor alluded to a cruise along the Finland coast in 2012. That wonderful trip occurred 10 years earlier, in 2002.

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

Many fine short sails are from Mystery Harbor The Mystery Harbor is Marion looking out toward Ram Island and Meadow Island. Also known as Sippican Harbor. The first year we had our Freedom 30 Salacia, we kept her in Sippican Harbor while waiting for a mooring to clear in Marblehead.

Our son was pre-school then, so we did a lot of short sails. It is a great place for daysails. We would go to Pocasset, Quisset or Hadley Harbor with ease. Overnight cruises to Woods Hole or Cuttyhunk were a breeze. Speaking of a breeze, the afternoon

winds were lively and fun to sail in as long as you were heading up Buzzards Bay and frequently had a reef in.

The entrance to the harbor is not difficult. Coming from the north, round Bird Island. Coming from the south, watch the buoy off Converse Point. Follow the buoys and definitely don’t cut them near Ram Island.

The entrance takes a 90degree turn near Ram Island, so watch your buoys carefully. There is a channel down the middle of the MYSTERY HARBOR, continued on Page 11

MYSTERY HARBOR, continued from Page 8 harbor. Holding ground out side of Ram Island is good though it can get rolly.

Moorings in Sippican Harbor are rented out by the local boatyards. It seems that only a few moorings change hands. We were told that there was a wait of 99 years to own a mooring in the harbor. Transient moorings are available from the Beverly Yacht Club.

There was little in the way of provisioning near the harbor the last time I was there. A small general store is about a quarter of a mile from the Beverly Yacht Club. The yacht club rents moorings and requests that you call a day in advance to ensure a spot. The club is also one of the sponsors of the semi-annual MarionBermuda Race, along with my club, Blue Water Sailing Club, and the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club. Just before the race starts, moorings are scarce.

Speaking of Marion-Bermuda, in 2015, the race starts on June 19.

The year we were in Marion was 1991, the year of Hurricane Bob. We had planned to go to Maine in July. Our son came down with chicken pox at the end of June. We postponed our trip to August and left the weekend just before Hurricane Bob hit. Boats were tossed about and scattered in the swamp. A helicopter was brought in to help remove the boats. We were in Rockland, Maine, and missed the damage – except for our car, which was parked near the street toward the head of the harbor. Salt water was up to the windows.

I have been back from time to time, and have many memories of my visits to Sippican Harbor.

Perspectives After touching leaves of three, never go to sea was run over by a Boston Whaler; I heard over a Bermuda a.m. radio station that I was assumed “lost at sea;” I put 314 passengers through a Mississippi River tornado; and I’ve been downstream from a busted sewage holding tank. And that’s for starters.

But nothing has compared to my encounter with the dreaded Toxicodendron radicans and its internal alien monster, urushiol.

It all started innocently enough. It was last July, and it was time for me to head to Maine, as I have done for the past 30 years. I usually go solo (it allows me to sing loudly and off-key for three days), and my wife, Mary Kay, drives up to meet me.

Before I left, she asked me if I might clear the weeds and rampant vines from our back hill. “But cover yourself VERY well,” Mary Kay said. “There’s a rumor of poison ivy lurking on that hillside.”

“I don’t get poison ivy,” I said confidently.

She gave me that do-what-I-say look. “Just because you’ve never gotten it doesn’t mean you won’t get it.”

“What’s the big deal anyway? Isn’t poison ivy something little camper kids get, the ones you see covered in pink from the calamine lotion.”

Anyway, the day before I was to head offshore, I cleared the hillside. The next day, about 12 miles off Cape Ann and headed east, I felt a silly, nagging little itch on my left wrist. Whatever. I was making good time toward the Isles of Shoals, where I planned to stop for the night. I knew I would arrive just before the thick black dungeon cloud and thunderstorm that, I swear, hits me every year at about 6:45, just after I pick up a mooring there.

I

So what’s with this itching? Now it’s on my other wrist. Heck, now it’s going up my right arm. Better wash it off. Mary Kay said something about this urushiol oil not being too good on human body parts. What about calamine lotion? Certainly none of that aboard. And that’s for sissy camper kids.

Pinot grigio? Ah, plenty of that behind the port bunk. That might do the trick; at least it will stop the itching. (The trick, by the way, is to pour it down your throat and not over the poisoned body parts; it works extremely well that way when taken in some quantity, until about 0200 hours, when it has worn off and you awaken itching and scratching yourself like a maniac.)

Two days later, by the time I’d reached the eastern part of Casco Bay and my wife got aboard, I had wrapped myself in gauze. Now, Mary Kay fears little in life, but poison ivy terrifies her. “Did you sit on my bunk? Did you touch this? What towels did you use? You need to stay on your side of the boat from now on. Do you have calamine lotion?”

“No, but I have something better. It could even work around the clock if I took it non-stop, but I don’t think that’s the best idea if I’m captain.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s called pinot grigio. No prescription. You just need a proper ID. Yes, it’s more expensive than calamine but, heck, it’s all I have to treat this dreaded thing.”

She rolled her eyes: “Might even be an antidote for you, dear. I’ll share some with you. In your very own glass, of course.”

Things got worse. It started to rain. For three days.

One night, at about one minute after 2 a.m., I awakened in such a state that I considered jumping into the icy Maine water. My hope was not to eradicate the itching – I now believed it would never go away – but to drown.

And the pinot grigio was running low. One night, at about one minute after 2 a.m., I awakened in such a state that I considered jumping into the icy Maine water. My hope was not to eradicate the itching – I now believed it would never go away – but to drown. “Why don’t you just leave the boat here and go home?” Mary Kay said from her side of the cabin.

“Why? So I can itch at home?” I replied. “If I’m going to itch, I’m going to do it on my beloved boat on my beloved Maine coast with my beloved wife.”

When I dropped Mary Kay off in Brunswick, we were able to take her car and find a CVS store. I hurried in and headed for the pharmacy section. “Excuse me, but where is your calamine lotion?”

“What type do you need, sir – calamine or Caladryl?

I mean, how bad is the condition?” the pharmacist asked. At this point, showing him any body part would do, but I held up my left inner wrist, a particularly gruesome manifestation of the dreaded Toxicodendron radicans.

“Oh,” he said with a withering look, “that’d be

calamine; but you’re close to a staph infection.”

I bought the Brunswick CVS’s entire stock of calamine, along with enough gauze to re-supply the Mass General ER. My wife dropped me off back at the boat. I went below, took off my clothes, and had myself a calamine shower. Then I headed to sea.

I now had calamine and pinot grigio. And good, warm weather. But it just got worse. My clothes aggravated the poison ivy. So, on the last day, I took them off. All of them. This was fine offshore. Quite nice, actually, and I really got used to it. As I rounded Cape Ann and adjusted my course close to the Eastern Point breakwater in Gloucester, I began to encounter other boaters, and sailed close by a young family anchored and fishing from their little cabin cruiser. Forgetting that the entirety of my sartorial splendor consisted of only a large straw hat and sunglasses, I raised my gauze-wrapped arms and waved. No one waved back. We all know why.

Wharf rats are different ax came into our fuel dock for some gas, and, as always, we were glad to see him.

This time he had his father along; the two were headed out onto the bay to check Max’s lobster traps.

Max is a quiet, somewhat shy teenager who has been pulling his own traps since he was 11. I had last seen Max as he was being towed up the river earlier in the summer. At the time, I surmised then that Max was experiencing one of those lifelessons you don’t learn in a classroom.

Turns out his old Mercury outboard had self-destructed. Max told me it was worn out. His father told Photo courtesy Randy Randall how they had found a “runner” at a Max Mourmouras with friend Zach local boat shop, a venerable Yamaha Tardif and one of Max's customers, two-stroke of uncertain vintage, and Pam Lacy of Saco. when it was time to pay for the en-

gine, it was Max who’d pulled a wad of bills out of his pocket.

“The oil system doesn’t work,” Max told me as he poured oil directly into the fuel tank. When I hung up the pump nozzle, Max peeled a few more twenties off his roll and paid for his gas. “He’s doing good,” dockmaster Jeremy said as we watched Max and his dad motor down the river and around the bend.

“Yeah,” I said. “Kind of makes you think twice about kids these days.”

We decided some kids get a bad rap.

It’s too easy to generalize about young people and their electronically controlled lives. But we know Max, and he’s doing all right, pulling his traps, paying his way, and spending time on the bay.

In a candid moment Max’s Dad referred to his son as a pain-in-the-butt; so Max doesn’t get off scot-free, but from what we see of him on river, he doesn’t deserve the bad rap most kids his age get.

The same is true for Nick. Nick is another certified wharf rat we know well. Nick is in the eel business. A few summers ago, he asked us if he could hang his eel traps off our docks. Again, seeing a bit of our old selves in young Nick, we agreed to help him along.

Nick plays catcher for the local Little League team and checks his eel traps in between games. When he has enough eels, his mother drives him to the bait shop, where he gets paid so much per pound. More then that, Nick is an ardent fisherman. His parents helped him buy an aluminum fishing boat all rigged up with rod holders and downriggers and a steering wheel.

Nick also pays for his own fuel when we gas up his boat. We watch him head down the river and think what it must feel like to be 14, to be in charge of your own boat, and to have the whole river and bay as your classroom and playground.

The local fishing guides all know Nick. When they return to the marina at the end of a long day, Nick is usually there to grab a dock line and then ask how the fish were biting, what were they using for bait, and what the tide was. I wouldn’t be surprised if some day in the future Nick didn’t become a salt-water guide

himself and work the summers taking people out to fish. He’s already got a good start made on that profession. When you get to know Nick, it’s hard to lay the same bad rap on him that kids his age usually receive.

Meghan LaPlante and her father were customers of ours for a few years, back when she began her lobster business. Using her Dad’s boat and probably some seed money from her folks, she bought traps and bait and began catching and selling. She’s an apprentice lobsterman. Fox News once did a story about her, and this past summer she earned some notoriety for landing a blue lobster. Her folks own tourist cabins in Old Orchard Beach, and out front there’s a prominent sign that announces “Miss Meghan’s Lobster Catch.”

She’s in high school and probably as attached to her smart phone as any other young woman, but like Max and Nick she’s also a wharf rat and making her own way. Taken together, from our point of view at least, these three teenagers dispel the usual broad brush we tend to lay on kids today.

More then just being some colorful local kids we happen to know at the marina, Max, Nick and Meghan, and other wharf rats like them, are also the future of our river and our bay and the way of life we enjoy here working on the water.

PERSPECTIVE/Greg

Coppa

Captain Lou very little New England fishing village has its Old Salt, but only East Greenwich, R.I., has Captain Lou. Most fair days he can be found sailing the East and West passages of Narragansett Bay. Rarely is he ever seen without a cigar or pipe in his mouth – and never without his black, wool, Greek fisherman’s cap, which nicely complements his thick, silvery white mane.

Captain Lou, sometimes called “Lucky Lou” or “Lou the Leprechaun” is an exceptional sailor, and, at times, he actually seems to be an extension of his boat. I have seen him tack through a crowded Newport Harbor with a dead engine and ghost right into an inside slip with so little momentum that the dock boy could stop Tiki with his little finger.

Due to a temperamental diesel, Lou was able to repeat this remarkable feat in my presence several times at different ports throughout New England. On

one occasion he did it during a gale bad enough to cause cancellation of the Block Island ferry. The local fishermen and stranded yachtsmen at Old Harbor were so impressed that they gave him a standing ovation as he stepped smartly onto the dock. As a sign of tribute, Lou was given free food and drink by throngs of admirers over the next few days.

Although Lou’s memory is not what it once was, his wit is still as sharp as ever. Often he will begin telling a joke that you heard him tell the previous week. But having forgotten the original punch line, Lou will substitute another, which makes the story all the more hilarious since expecting one ending you are totally unprepared for the other.

Just being with Lou is always an experience, and many people go aboard his vessel for an afternoon just so that they will have something interesting to talk about back home. One spring day, I remember sitting in Tiki’s cockpit in Greenwich Cove, enjoying a beer, nachos and warm sunshine, when out of the blue, a fairly large quahog fell from a great height right into the guacamole.

The quahog, which should have been dropped on hard pavement about 20 feet away from the boat’s berth, to crack it open in the usual fashion of Rhode Island seagulls, was easily large enough to kill a man.

(There is some question about whether the dropping of the quahog was inadvertent since other guests have

reported similar bombardments of Lou’s boat and the enmity between the captain and the black-backed gulls of Narragansett Bay has been well documented).

Not the least disconcerted by the aerial strike, Captain Lou smiled and deftly removed the bivalve from the guacamole. It reappeared, sometime later, transformed into a delicious Italian soup called clam zuppa.

Before the latter was served, the captain said a brief grace and reminded all present that the Lord acts in mysterious ways, sometimes providing things when least expected and other times taking things away that we thought were pretty well secured.

Besides making clam zuppa, Lou does amazing things with squid. Lack of time prevents me from elaborating, but did you know that Americans consume about a thousandth of a gram of squid per capita annually? Well Captain Lou consumes somewhere around a half a metric ton in the same time period.

Lou has always maintained that, dollar for dollar, squid is the best food bargain around, and further points out that if, on any given day you don’t want to eat squid, you can always go down to the town dock in the late afternoon, call it bait, and trade a frozen hunk of it for cod when the fishing boats come in. Down in South County, we call this “squid pro scrod.”

As well as I know Lou, I can still be surprised by his ingenuity and sense of humor. One September I went bluefishing with him in the East Passage, near New-

port. The bluefish were everywhere, and the captain’s eyes were lit up like a little boy’s on Christmas morn. Lou had just hooked a goodsized one, which bent his rod nearly in half, when we heard the deafening horn of a tanker bound for Providence.

“Cut it loose,” I said.

“No way am I going to lose this fish and my lucky lure,” he said.

The tanker blared again. We were clearly just inside the channel, where we should not have been. Lou cursed the tanker and indicated that the tanker should vary its course toward the center of the channel. The tanker skipper apparently did not agree, and gave us a few more resonating blasts. I got real nervous when Lou started smiling. But Lou is no fool, and many, many slick people have regretted underestimating the capabilities of this local legend. “Here Greg, reel this fish in,” he said, while he grabbed his quahauging tongs.

Tongs are used to catch quahaugs in 20 feet of water or less. We were in a hundred feet of water. Lou slipped the tongs over the side and pretended to be tonging away, even occasionally going through a charade of

pulling up the tongs and picking out quahogs. The deck officer aboard the tanker, who viewed this spectacle through binoculars, evidently was pretty convinced that Lou was in water too shallow for the tanker.

What with the QE2 grounding incident about that time, he decided to take no chances, and so he steered around us. I gaffed the very respectable blue just as the monstrous vessel came close abeam, while Lou waved animatedly at the crewmembers who had assembled on deck to watch the spectacle of a very small boat being run down by a very large one.

Yes, lots of fishing villages have their “Old Salts.”

But none can compare to East Greenwich’s Captain Lou!

The deck officer aboard the tanker, who viewed this spectacle through binoculars, evidently was pretty convinced that Lou was in water too shallow for the tanker.

News Peter McCrea wins OCC’s new Vertue Award Doug and Dale Bruce, Ocean Cruising Club (OCC) regional rear commodores, USA NE, announced at the 60th Anniversary Maine Rally that the OCC in North America is instituting a new award to be called the Vertue Award in honor of Humphrey Barton, his ocean crossing 25-foot sloop Vertue XXXV and his creation of the Ocean Cruising Club. It is to be “given to the OCC member in North America who best represents club founder, Humphrey Barton, through sailing achievements or service to the club and cruising community.”

Hum Barton was a living symbol of the strong friendships between cruisers from Great Britain and those from North America. He created this marvelous club and a legacy that we shall always cherish. Peter McCrea, of Thomaston, Maine, was chosen as the first winner of the Vertue Award.

Peter fulfills all the criteria. He has been an OCC member for 21 years, having qualified in 1990 on a passage from Norfolk, Va. to Virgin Gorda, B.V.I. His shorthanded-sailing (solo and doublehanded)

Peter has attracted numerous cruisers to the OCC as a result of his association with the Bermuda 1-2.

He has been one of OCC’s best port officers, having served effectively in Newport, R.I. and currently in Thomaston/Rockland Maine. He has been a ready helper to those of us organizing events and gatherings. He gladly does the hard work and prefers to stay out of the limelight.

Inn at Maine’s Cuckolds Light seeks two full-time innkeepers The Inn At Cuckolds Lighthouse, on an island off the coast of Maine, is seeking two, full-time “InnKeepers” – partners who reside on island, and one part-time, shore-based keeper’s assistant.

With just two guest suites, this retreat is dubbed “a beacon to adventurous travelers.” Keepers should be professional, fun and fit, gracious hosts with proven management, hospitality and culinary skills, able mariners, with a service ethic, a sense of style and aesthetics, and an ability to make every visitor carry away lasting memories.

Keepers will be living on an island one-third of a mile offshore, and, thus, will need to be adept at safe, small-boat handling in sometimes challenging conditions. This includes keeping launches and

boats clean and “guest-ready,” Coast Guard inspected, and in good working order.

Keepers will be responsible for serving hearty/healthy breakfasts made with local farm-to-table fare, and high tea in the afternoons.

Lobster bakes and island dinners are available from a select menu at additional charge.

The position offers seasonal residence in restored keepers’ midMay through mid-October, a monthly stipend, and an incomparable experience. Short course necessary for required USCG Launch Operator’s License.

SSCA’s Gam at Islesboro, Maine welcomes 61 boats, 147 cruisers The 24th annual Seven Seas Cruising Association Down East Gam was held on Aug. 1-3, at Dick and Kathy de Grasse’s (s/v Endeavour) cottage on Gilkey’s Harbor, Islesboro, Maine.

What a Gam! Sixty-one boats anchored in the harbor and 147 cruisers attended. It sprinkled in the morning but, as usual, it cleared up in time for an outstanding potluck lunch. There was a delightful mix of sailors from all over the world, including those of Seven Seas Cruising Association, Ocean Cruising Club, and the Waterway Radio and Cruising Club, and many new attendees.

There were more than six circumnavigators, and about half the sailors on the lawn had sailed at least one ocean in their own boats. It’s easy to feel humble among such great sailors.

The host boat, I Wanda, sailed by Mary and Christian Verlaque, had 41 dinghies tied behind them during the Friday afternoon cocktail-party raft-up. After lunch on Saturday, guest speaker Capt. Skip Strong, a Penobscot Bay and River pilot and author of “In Peril,” signed copies of his book. He told of maneuvering his 688-foot loaded oil tanker off the Bethel shoal in Florida to save a disabled tug and NASA barge.

Briefly CG modifies lifejacket code scheme In a move that’s expected to benefit recreational boaters, on Oct. 22 the U.S. Coast Guard dropped the current lifejacket-type code scheme – Type I, II, III, IV and V – to label the types of life jackets and their specific use. Chris Edmonston, BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety president and chairman of the National Safe Boating Council, said that removing the type coding is a first step toward new standards to simplify life-jacket requirements for recreational boaters.

However, Edmonston cautions boaters must still abide by the current standards when using older life jackets marked with the Type I-V labeling, as they will remain legal for use. A full list of the current life jacket types and descriptions can be found at BoatUS.org/life-jackets, and any update on new life jacket types and styles will be posted there when available.

so realistic as to create dread and awe in even the saltiest of sailors. What 15-year-old wouldn’t be enchanted? “Something about them spoke to me,” Kramer says.

As an adult, Kramer recognized that the sketches and paintings were more than just dramatic pieces. www.pointseast.com

The German-born Evers was a master of watercolor, and a master of painting water in all its infinite moods. Kramer dreamed of a career like that of Evers, who worked nonstop painting tugs, liners, freighters, and the working waterfront for every major line, including Cunard, Grace Line, Farrell Lines, United Points East December 2014

He painted ships for the U.S. Navy (today, there’s even a Carl G Evers’ room aboard the U.S.S. Alabama).

To work as a gallery artist – a fulltime, professional painter – for Kramer, that was the dream. In the meantime, Kramer successfully navigated the often-turbulent waters of journalism and advertising, working as an illustrator and graphic designer. During this time, he never lost touch with the ocean.

For a time, anyway, he lived aboard a 48-foot Hatteras motor yacht in Florida, aptly named Watercolor. As crew in various blue-water sailboat races, he studied the effects of tide and wind upon waves. In quiet moments aboard, he thought: When?

Of “Zephyrrr” (above), Kramer writes, “This is typical of some of the commission work I do for clients, who often want me to recreate a winning race or depict themselves and their crew onboard. All of these, however, are more than just ‘boat portraits’ since I never work from a single photo, but rather, like my historical paintings, like to romanticize and embellish reality.” “The Joy of Sailing: Cara Mia and the New York 30s of 1905” (left), “The Masthead Men” (top right) and “Onboard Intrepid, 1970” (right).

In 2010, he moved into in an unassuming second-floor studio/gallery in downtown Mystic, next door to the famous eatery in the Julia Roberts movie, “Mystic Pizza.” Since then, Kramer has been recognized as one of the world’s premier marine artists, and his work has appeared in such publications as “Yachting,” “WoodenBoat,” “Sail,” and Italy’s leading yachting magazine, “Yacht Design” (and now “Points East,” of course). He is a gallery artist whose work is commissioned by legends in the world of North American sailing and patrons in far-off lands like the United Arab Emirates and India. www.pointseast.com

It is hard for someone who loves the water to look upon a Kramer painting without feeling emotion. In people who live and play on the water, there are deep currents of emotion regarding the sea, and boats, though, oddly enough it’s the rare artist – writer or painter – who can create something authentic enough to stir these currents.

Besides the first-person narratives Kramer creates – in which friends and family dressed in period clothing often pose as stand-ins for historical figures (his wife is featured in at least one painting hanging in his gallery) – another hallmark of Kramer’s work is his depiction of the ocean in all its vagaries. Given the fact that water is such an elusive creature (every sailor knows, for instance, that the best way to calm a stormy sea is to take a picture of it), and, therefore, nearly impossible to reproduce except by using one’s mind, one would have to say that Kramer has a mind that’s custom-made for the job.

Pressed on the topic, Kramer offers this: “I would say painting water is like prose and poetry. Certainly, there is structure – laws of nature, hydrodynamics, light and reflective effect one must understand and employ, but it’s also about feeling, interpretation and emotion. In my paintings, I’ll break a wave at you, or

make you squint at the sun, because of the chance that I can move you to feel something – and that’s the whole reason to do it.”

It is hard for someone who loves the water to look upon a Kramer painting without feeling emotion. In people who live and play on the water, there are deep currents of emotion regarding the sea, and boats, though, oddly enough it’s the rare artist – writer or painter – who can create something authentic enough to stir these currents.

Russ Kramer was moved when he saw Evers’ work for the first time, and all of us are luckier for it.

When he’s not applying his “buy high, sell low” strategy to houses, cars and boats, Points East associate editor Bob Muggleston is raising a young family in East Hampton, Conn., and plying his beloved Connecticut River in a number of small boats.

Look for stories in the details of Russ Kramer’s paintings No more than 20 yards into my first tent at this year’s Newport International Boat Show, I succumbed to my personal Siren on the Rocks, marine art – the exhibit of Mystic, Conn.’s Russ Kramer. The silent, yet irresistible, entreaties of the oil-painting prints within drew me into a world of wind, water and waves, black nights at sea, glorious dawns and sunsets, valiant vessels and crews, and unspoken sea tales waiting to be told.

If there is a fourth dimension in painting, Russ Kramer has a handle on it. Aside from the usual length, width and depth, Russ’s works demand that you listen to their stories, and, barring that, encourage you to create your own narratives from the details in each.

Stepping farther into the booth – each painting seeming to cry out, “Look at me” – I spied a small print that blocked out all the chatter from the others. Entitled “Dawn Swells,” I already knew its story, or thought I did. This is my take: The painting is set in the North Atlantic, in the early-20th century. The light-boards, to hold the large schooner’s kerosene sidelights, tell me this passage occurred before

World War II. The plum stem, mast hoops, and deadeyes setting up the shrouds also speak of an earlier time, as does the profile of the ship on the horizon. With her tall mast and bright light, she could be a lightship, similar to the old Boston light vessel of the early 20th century. However, I can make out some apparatus aft – a gantry of sorts – which could identify her as an early 1900s trawler or a small liner.

The sun will soon be rising in the east; the schooner is sailing in a southerly direction. It’s cold, and the decks are wet. The swells are large, the seas confused, and only her topsail is full and drawing in a light northwest wind. The main, foresail, jib and staysail are sheeted in a bit Oil painting by Russ Kramer so they won’t slam around in the lumpy seas; she is running a bit freely, though, possibly on a beam reach. A gale has passed; the wind has dropped but the swells remain. Dolphins, or perhaps pilot whales, cartwheel out of the front of the wave in the foreground.

Of course, I bought the print. I hung it over my desk, and the details – right or wrong – keep unfolding.

participants in the group, folding a six-foot-plus frame into a six-foot, four-inch boat has its challenges. As Tom Leach, the designer of the Cape Cod Frosty, was quoted in the February 1997 “Cape Cod Frosty News” article “The Grand Design: A Conversation With Tom Leach: Part 3” (found on the official Cape Cod Frosty website, www.capecodfrosty.org) “You’ve got to stand up every other race or sit on the gunwale or do some-

Frosty Class Championship was held on April 28, 1985, at the Hyannis Yacht Club in Hyannis, Mass. Twenty-one sailors – all from the Cape – competed in the six-race series. The following year, the event became a two-day regatta. As the popularity of the Frosty spread beyond the confines of the Cape, the number of Frosties built increased from a handful to over 1,000.

One of the reasons for the Frosty’s popularity is that it is built from two four-by-eight sheets of quarter-inch plywood, using the stitch-and-glue method of construction. A minimum of tools and woodworking skills is needed to build a decent boat. Most Frosty Fleet 9 boats have been built by their skippers. You’ll also find class-legal fiberglass boats – whose molds have been approved by Tom Leach – among the fleet. The boats’ lightweight allows them to be transported in the back of a car and carried easily for launching.

Frosties are an established onedesign racing class meant mostly for experienced sailors. The novice sailor will undoubtedly “Captain Nemo,” the code-phrase for capsizing. Capsizing is something to avoid anytime of year, especially when the air temperature is below freezing and the water temperature is just slightly above. The novice will also quickly become a nimble and able sailor who recognizes how the wind and current affects one’s ability to make it around the racecourse.

Rules require that the Frosty weigh at least 34 pounds including flotation, but without rudder, daggerboard, spars and sail, and have a minimum combined weight of boat and crew of 214 pounds, using plastic water jugs to increase weight, as needed, to a limit of four gallons. Also stipulated is that ballast bottles may not be moved while racing. Complete, full-sized building plans and instructions are available by mail from Tom Leach www.pointseast.com

Portsmouth, N.H., featured a short documentary film (written, directed and produced by Thurston Smith) exploring the extreme winter sailing sport of Frostbiting, where it is done, who does it, and why. It features exclusive interviews with some of America’s top sailors, and hundreds of video clips and photography stills from sources and sailing organizations all over the Northeastern United States.

While Thurston was in town for the film festival, he offered to show the documentary to our own Frosty Fleet 9. Several of our sailors make appearances on the screen, providing insight into why these women, men and youngsters choose to sail in blizzards, ice storms, wind and freezing waters.

Thurston also provided additional insight into why he created this film, which has been featured at several film festivals throughout the country, including the 2014 Palm Beach International Film Festival.

One of his hopes is to make the general public aware of the various boat designs that are sailed throughout the winter in New England waters. His film describes how frostbiting originated on New Year’s Day in Manhasset Bay, N.Y., by the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club in 1932, and how it continues today through the efforts of various yacht clubs in the upper latitudes of the United States and Canada.

Close your eyes and the film’s sound effects can make you feel like you’re on the water on a frigid winter’s day. The word “COLD” comes up in most of the interviews, along with “insane” and the statement “I www.pointseast.com

Left: It’s time for lift-off, Pam said to Mat in Mystic. Right: Fleece with long pants was the uniform of the mornings. Below, a rough map of Just Ducky’s route south.

just so you know, when I say “we,” it usually means Mat, my husband and skipper, doing the heavy lifting and me standing by waiting for orders and making all of the necessary phone calls.

Most of the time I am sooooo glad we don’t have equal responsibilities. But as you will see later, it didn’t end up that way.

Just Ducky took us along the Connecticut shore, in Long Island Sound, to Westbrook and then to Branford, sailing most of the way. Although we were under way, it didn’t feel like we were since we were still in local waters. The start of every day was cool on the water, so fleece and long pants gave way to shorts and tee shirts as the day progressed – at least for Mat. I still had a hard time giving up my sweatshirt.

One of the most exciting parts of the trip, for me, was coming through Hell Gate in Manhattan. Of course, Mat was at the helm fighting the currents and traffic, and I got to sit back and enjoy, so he may have a different opinion. Rushing down the East River, coming around to see the Statute of Liberty in the distance was awesome. The 911 Memorial Building, although not finished in September, was a sight to see, even visible about 20 miles away. We went through on the 13th, so 911 was on the top of our minds.

When a cruiser asks you if you have ever gone aground, and you say, “No,” the stock response is, “You will.” Well, we did not have to waste too much time getting stuck in the sand in Sandy Hook, N.J. “Okay, you got that out of the way early,” our son Rick said.

With the assistance of a fellow sailor, we set the anchor on the starboard side of the boat and turned the bow around, and we quickly left that proposed anchorage in search of deeper water.

Not wanting to risk the shallow and turbulent inland waters along the coast, we set our course for Atlantic City. We set sail at daybreak and saw the beautiful sunrise with the moon and the planet Uranus visible; it was well worth getting up for. As exciting as Manhattan is, the Jersey Shore is as boring. Mile after mile of flat beach doesn’t inspire any photos. All I could think of was, What part of the Jersey Shore is Snooky from?

Thirteen hours later, at dusk, we arrived in Atlantic City after the harbormaster had gone home. It was tricky finding our slip at the marina, but, flashlight and binoculars in hand, we found it, and spent two nights there before heading for Cape May.

Somewhere along the way, our depth gauge started blinking, indicating that it no longer was reading the bottom. This is not a good thing down here, where depths are often around five to seven feet: Our boat draws five feet. We traveled with another sailboat that acted as our seeing-eye dog as we followed them in an out of shallow anchorages, for which we are very grateful. Arriving in Beaufort, N.C., they continued their travels and we sat and waited for a new depth gauge to be installed.

We found an honest, conscientious and capable electronics tech, Fernando, who assessed the problem, got and installed the new depth gauge, and set us on our way – six days later than we had planned. It’s a good thing we are not driven by a schedule.

We started to see an increase in the number of dolphins, and saw our first palm trees. We even saw an alligator. Guess where? Alligator Bay, of course! The krill attached themselves to the bottom of the boat, and we could hear the snap, crackle, pop as they munched away. To me, this all means you are in the south. We were grateful to have both chartplotter and radar guiding us as we had a few heavy rainstorms along the way.

We encountered some low-water spots when coming out of Wrightsville Beach, but they were not where we expected them to be.

The Cape Fear River was nothing to fear this time. The winds and waters were calm, maybe too calm, as we left a little too early to get the benefit of the outgoing tide to push us along.

THERACIN Leg 1, Volvo Race:

Walker just ekes out a Volvo win Ian Walker (GBR) and his Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing crew barely snatched a wink of sleep for nearly 48 hours prior to the finish, but in the end it paid off after an epic first-leg victory in the Volvo Ocean Race on Nov. 5.

There have been many close finishes in the 41-year history of the event, but few will have been quite so tense for the victors, who have been feeling the hot breath of Dongfeng Race Team (Charles Caudrelier/FRA) down their necks for the best part of a week in the 6,487-mile stage.

Even with the finish under Table Mountain in Cape Town in sight two miles away, Walker could not relax, with wind in perilously short supply and the Chinese boat able to close again before Azzam finally claimed the hardest fought of victories.

The Class 2 Single Paddle division of the Round Island Race, which featured a Le Mans-style start, saw a few characters, and even a few dogs (note: Points East’s editor [pink hat] and publisher are visible in the background, furiously rowing to get out of the way).

By Charles Doane For Points East Note: the following is a first-person accounting of himself in the Round Island Race held late last summer in Portsmouth, N.H., by Charles Doane, “SAIL” magazine’s executive editor.

The Round Island Race is a charity event that features small sailboats and various paddle craft battling each other in one of the back bays of the city.

I must confess I am supremely embarrassed by the results of the fourth annual Round Island Regatta (RIR), held on Saturday, Aug. 23, right here in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, my hometown. You will (hopefully) recall that the event this year was sponsored not only by this august comic, Points East magazine, but also by a host of other seemingly reputable businesses and organizations. The regatta’s great success, with all this sponsorship and a sold-out entry list of 100 competitors in three different classes, I’m afraid has only aggravated my condition.

After missing last year’s event, I managed again to get Mimi, our trusty 15-foot Drascombe Dabber, to the start line this year. And no, I did not sail her any faster than the other boats. Quite the opposite. That distinction, in fact, went to Class 1 (Sail) winner Joie Paciulli, who sailed a very cool, confident race aboard her banged-up old Banshee. The Banshee proved an ideal boat for the condiRIR, continued on Page 54 Points East December 2014

Welles clinches the J/24 World Championship With just a few points between Will Welles’ Cougar (USA) and Mauricio Santa Cruz’s Bruschetta (BRA) going into the final day, there was no room for error in the final two races of the 2014 J/24 World Championship hosted by Sail Newport Sept. 22-26. Welles had used his throw-out on Thursday, so the only way to assure a win was to stay ahead. And that’s what he did.

Sailing with Nick Turney, Richard Bowen, Daniel Rabin and Luke Lawrence, Welles sealed the deal with a 2, 5 to win the day and the World Championship with 38 points. Mauricio Santa Cruz’s Bruschetta (BRA) settled for 2nd place with a total of 55 points,

while John Mollicone’s Team Helly Hanson (USA) finished 3rd with 70 points.

The final day’s weather (Friday) was sunny with wind speed from 10 to 12 knots out of the northeast.

In the first race of the day, Welles finished 2nd to Mollicone, while Greg Griffin’s Team Tarheel (USA) placed 3rd. Matias Seguel’s Semi Pro (CHI) closed the regatta with a victory in Race 10. Luis Olcese’s Scaramoush (PER) and Shigetoshi Shirahama’s White Squall (JPN) rounded out the top three. Sixty-nine teams competed from 13 nations. FMI and complete standings: www.sailnewport.org

GC32 foiling cat Argo slashes the Around Jamestown Record

Alumni Regatta winners Congratulations to the team that won the 7th Annual Alumni Regatta, and represented all three International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS) programs: skipper Brian Firth (holding trophy) and his crew of (left to right) Jake Gilbert, John Aubrecht and Will Steiss. IYRS alumni, students, staff and faculty enjoyed a fun BBQ on a beautiful Saturday afternoon on the Newport, R.I., campus.

A new outright record and time to beat was set Oct. 26 for the Mount Gay Rum Around Jamestown Record. Jason Carroll of New York City helmed his new GC32, Argo, around Jamestown with an elapsed time of 58 minutes and 31 seconds, besting the previous record of 01:03:38 by four minutes and seven seconds. The 20-plusmile course passes around Conanicut Island in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay. The record setting crew included Chad Corning, Mischa Hemmskerk, Mike Barnes, Cameron Appleton and Mike Kuschner. They chose to sail the course around the island to starboard, sailing south from the start off Fort Adams at 11:33:31 ET, on a northwesterly breeze ranging from 20 to 30 knots on an outgoing tide.

Argo is a foiling catamaran and is the first and only GC32 in North America. Owner/helmsman Jason Carroll, purchased Argo this summer with the goal of having her in the water in Newport in time to break the Around Jamestown Record.

Owner/Helmsman Jason Carroll said, “To be honest, there could have been a little bit less [wind]. Coming around the top of the Island we hit our top speed of 37.1 knots. I’m happy, but a little bummed that we can’t go sailing again today because we broke both foils during the attempt.” FMI: www.aroundjamestownrecord.com.

oar-powered craft) and also grants awards to the “Handsomest Boat and Crew” in each class. The grandest prize, which features the bestowal of a handsome perpetual trophy plate, is the Sportsmanship Award, “which is presented to the individual whose behavior and seamanship best exemplify the spirit of the regatta.”

Thanks primarily to Tom Brown, of Great Bay Marine, who served as the regatta’s master of ceremonies and color commentator, and who regaled the audience with an ongoing comic description of my misadventures on the racecourse, I was selected as the grandprize winner this year. And really I can’t even say I was honestly a good sport about being the butt of Tom’s stream of abuse, as most of the time I couldn’t even hear it.

So, as I say, thanks to Tom, my name is now inscribed on the trophy plate, which I get to keep for a year, and I have received (from regatta sponsor Tim-

berland) an enormous stainless-steel quartz watch that could easily serve as an anchor for Mimi. The complete list of this year’s winners: Class 1 Sail: 1st place: Joie Paciulli, Handsomest Boat & Crew: Tori Henkes. Class 2 Single Paddle: 1st place: Peter Sawtell, Handsomest Boat & Crew: Erin BoBo-Caron and Collin Caron. Class 3 Multi Paddle: 1st place: Ray Panek, Handsomest Boat & Crew: Bob Mangold, Leah and Sally Mangold.

The proceeds of this year’s regatta were donated to the Wentworth Lear Historic Houses, which hosted a fabulous prize-giving party.

Special thanks are due to Robin Normandeau of Chandler’s Loft and Charles Lassen of the South End Men’s Ocean Sailing Association, the event’s primary organizers, and to the many sponsors, which are listed on the Round Island Race website: www.roundislandregatta.com.

Best seat for Volvo Ocean Race? On your couch Daily Volvo Ocean Race Web Coverage, October into May www.volvooceanrace.com.

By Bob Muggleston For Points East As recently as 40 years ago, long-distance ocean racers enjoyed the kind of romantic aura normally reserved for knights of the crusade, or explorers of the Amazon. A big part of it was the anonymity.

Once the gun went off, and they sailed out of the harbor, it was up to us to fill in the narrative of their existence for the next three weeks, three months, or a year. And we filled their days with howling winds and angry seas, and gear failures, and loneliness, and maybe even a sea monster or two if it felt right.

The sailor was 50 miles away, or a thousand – based on his relayed positions. If we were lucky, someone aboard a passing freighter would snap a Polaroid and forward it to an interested news outlet. This was a time when massive hoaxes could be perpetrated (think: the brilliant, but doomed, Donald Crowhurst)

and legends born (think: Moitessier). The text and images of Bernard Moitessier’s grand adventure, etched forever into sailing lore, flew to us in film canisters that were shot aboard the decks of passing freighters with a slingshot.

How times have changed.

Today, scarcely a minute passes in a long-distance racing sailor’s life that isn’t recorded. For the most part, we always know exactly where he (or she!) is. Images are plentiful, and in high-def. Highs, lows, all the trials and tribulations faced at sea - thanks to embedded reporters and their high-tech gadgetry, we’re right there, experiencing it alongside them. It might be the best time to be an armchair sailor ever.

Because, while it might be fun to fantasize about being on Alvimedica, the 65-foot racing machine skippered by American Charlie Enright, very few of us want to be aboard the 65-foot racing machine skippered by American Charlie Enright. Sailing’s funny like that. We fantasize about the adventure in total, but – ugh – the specifics. The sail changes, the dampness, the temperature swings, the snoring bunkmates,

This aquarium ‘study’ boat runs on hybrid-electric propulsion The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk (Conn.) christened a larger, “greener” research vessel in later September. This ceremony also launched a new era in examining, monitoring and teaching about Long Island Sound.

The research vessel Spirit of the Sound is revolutionary in design, being the only research vessel in the

country running on hybrid-electric propulsion.

Launched in December, the $2.7-million boat will run virtually silently on electric power for the Aquarium’s public “study cruises” on Long Island Sound.

The 65-foot all-aluminum catamaran will replace the Aquarium’s 40-foot 34-year-old diesel-powered HYBRID, continued on Page 60

Sabre’s 54 Express/Fly Bridge will debut at Miami Boat Show Sabre Yachts has been building the Sabre 54 Salon Express and Fly Bridge, its largest motor offering since the company Sabre began building 28-foot sailboats in 1970. The first of the 54s will debut at the 2014 Miami Yacht and Brokerage show in February. Sabre is also announcing the design of the Sabre 66, which will make its debut in mid-2015.

HYBRID, continued from Page 59 trawler, r/v Oceanic. The new boat will have a climatecontrolled indoor classroom and an outdoor research space. With more room inside and out, the new research vessel doubles the Aquarium’s capacity for getting visitors out on the water, from 29 to 60 people per cruise. When docked, Spirit of the Sound gives the Aquarium an additional classroom for on-site programs.

Spirit of the Sound’s hybrid-electric propulsion system will reduce fuel consumption by an estimated 75 percent. Running quietly on electric will be a benefit to wildlife, to other boaters, and to the delivery of educational programs on board.

POINTS

“Over the past forty years, the fleet of large, private vessels has grown dramatically with new operating systems allowing owner operators to be the masters of their own yachts,” Sabre says. Built in Sabre’s Rockland facilities, the 54 is designed by their in-house team, led by Kevin Burns.

The 66 will be equipped with Volvo Penta IPS1200 pod drives and will cruise in the mid 20-knot range, Sabre says. Her displacement will be 80,000 pounds, and her interior will have a full-beam master stateroom below her helm deck. FMI: www.sabreyachts.com.

You don’t have to be a school student to sign on; R/V Spirit of the Sound will be used for the aquarium’s public study cruises as well. Initial public outings on the boat begin in mid-December with Seal Spotting Cruises, offered on weekends through mid-April. Even greater opportunities to experience the boat begin in May, with the Aquarium’s 2015 season of Marine Life Study Cruises, during which crabs, mollusks, squid and a wide variety of saltwater fish are brought up out of Long Island Sound for examination. Designed by Incat Crowther of Australia, Spirit of the Sound was built in Mamaroneck, N.Y, at the Robert E. Derecktor Inc. shipyard. FMI: www.maritimeaquarium.org.

The fog-faded East Quoddy Head Lighthouse on Canada's Campobello Island. Inset: The GPS shows the Leight making over nine knots.

Passamaquoddy pale t all started out well enough. Sailing into the rockbound slash of Head Harbor on Campobello Island, with a fair tide and singing breeze, the sky was so crystalline we could see a pale thread of Nova Scotia coast off to the east. Then the weather went south. The following morning arrived smothered in a dungeon of white satin, a snotty southeasterly whipping the treetops about – just what we didn’t want for our tour of these tumultuous waters Passamaquoddy Bay is a dramatic place in good weather, and more so otherwise. The fang of racing Bay of Fundy tides, grizzled swells, and fog of exceptional density are possessed of a tension not to be taken lightly, despite the reassurance of a GPS. We made an escape attempt midday, and encountered a corruption of warring cross-seas that slowed progress to an actual crawl. Better to retreat early than late, we turned tail, feeling the raw forcefulness of this place.

Drip, drip, drip – foggy dewdrops plashed down on the cabin top at the dawning of our third day in Canadian waters. Wiping condensation from the port, Leigh and I

peered into the nothingness, wondering how to address it. The commitment to chance along ebbed and flowed.

We’ve sailed the waters often, but never without wariness and wonder.

There was a stirring dimension to the moment we slipped past East Quoddy Lighthouse the next morning, and into a world deaf with fog. Our destination was St Andrews, New Brunswick, 14 miles to the north. Shaping a course toward Black Rock under main and jib, the flood tide spooled down Head Harbor Passage, spawning local eddies that bullied the 26-foot Leight bodily. We missed sighting the daymark on Black Rock, though it wasn’t far off.

Shaping a westerly course, tide at cross-purposes, the wind took off, but the chartplotter showed we were making more than six knots, thanks to the tide. Heading for a waypoint off Casco Bay Island, which would keep us clear of unmarked ledges, the bearing kept shifting as the sloop was set down toward them. Steering sharply northward, I wished for more wind as she crabbed along, nothing to be seen a few boat lengths beyond the bow. editor@pointseast.com

The mate thought she heard a wash of breaking wave to port. Sound plays tricks in the fog, and so does the imagination. After a few minutes of silence, we’d barely dismissed it as an imagining, when it whispered once again, this time farther off. Leigh smiled.

Then, at the edge of the visibility, emerged the faded loom of yet another ledge, where nothing was shown on the chart. Sheering away, the main jibed over with a clatter. Hard on wind and tide, progress reduced to a crawl, it was not easy to focus in the mists, but, at length, the mate announced that the “ledge” was a floating tree. My heart had barely settled down when Leigh excitedly pointed to port and said, “Look, a green can. It must be Halftide Ledge!”

Clearing Chocolate Shoal close enough to see tide rips radiating from it, we could feel the Passamaquoddy thrum. Then came the rumble of a fishing boat off to the west. Leigh blew our plastic foghorn, which seemed pitifully inadequate. On it came. I started the engine. On it came. I put the engine in gear, ready to sheer away. On it came. Then a blossoming bow wave materialized into the Deer Island ferry, which crossed our bow and evaporated.

Our various travails had taken their toll in time. We were late making Western Passage, which is to be avoided the top half of the flood, as whirlpools are spawned by 22-foot tides squeezing into a narrowing channel. There wasn’t much for it but to go with the flow.

A few minutes later, I was just about to tell Leigh that it

wasn’t all that bad, when a hissing torrent swelled up astern and gave the sloop a whip-snap of a shove.

Staying a heartbeat ahead of her trendings, I’d give the helm a sharp stab to port as the tension rose, then to starboard just before the pressure peaked, and back to the sweet spot in the middle. “Eight knots, David,” the mate called out.

Swirling whitewater carried the sloop along in a rush, handing her off from one boil to another. “Nine-pointthree,” Leigh announced above the fray.

Dancing the dance through the foggy fury, excitement in the air, and predatory seas in pursuit, the bow carved a foaming furrow through the melee. She and we trembled at the power of it. Then the speed readings retreated to an ordinary seven knots.

Not much later, the fog began to scale up, feathers of mist ascended from the rugged Canadian islands to port.

There was a sense of satisfaction to having made good, as the mate picked up a mooring under the village of St. Andrews. Looking back on our cruise, it was among the most memorable of days. Cruising pushes us, and we need pushing.

The author curls up on a cold morning off North Carolina. Hooper Light at St. Michaels. Tabby (an ancient coast concrete) ruins on the South Carolina coast.

ICW, continued from Page 47 on how to navigate Lockwood’s Foley and Shallotte Inlet, and we had no problems at those spots. It was tense going through the Rock Pile before Myrtle Beach, but worth it as we opened up to the beautiful Myrtle Beach area.

As we sat in an anchorage in Prince Creek, S.C., we reviewed our course for the next day. We had to be creative with how we were going to negotiate the low water around McClellanville, as we had to approach it at low tide. After all of our planning and heartburn, we got up the next day to calm waters and the warmest day we’d had for a while – and a full moon.

Mat suggested we go outside into the ocean instead of going down the ICW. Great idea, but we had to travel overnight to get to an inlet we would enter in the daylight. That meant going from our anchorage in South Carolina to Savannah, through the night, in the dark, just us and all the warm clothes I could find.

My layers included wind pants, fleece pants, corduroy pants, long underwear and my winter coat, hoodie sweatshirt, long underwear shirt and … well, you know.

Not to forget winter hat and gloves and hand warmers.

Those who know me well know sailing at night is not on the top of my list unless the list is of things I never want to do. So 200 miles and 30 hours later, we arrived at the marina in Savannah – not a moment too soon for me.

All in all it was okay for most of the time. The moon kept us in some light for most of the night; however, not all night. It was more than just a little bit spooky. We also tried to see if we had radio contact, and it appeared 72 Points East December 2014

that we didn’t. This was the scariest situation for me (yoga breath, yoga breath), so we moved closer to shore to maintain radio contact. And we sat out hurricane Sandy in Savannah, which didn’t get anything but a bit of wind.

Being on the water early means we leave when it is sometimes still in the 40s. Burrrr! This was unexpected since we did the last trip almost every day in shorts. Our next big stop was St. Simons Island, Ga. Daylight savings time ended, and we now could leave earlier, but we had to be settled at night by 5 p.m. or so. So many details to keep track of.

We sailed in the ocean again, from St. Simons Sound to the St. Mary’s River as we entered Florida, but this time we did it all in daylight. It was great to get through South Carolina and Georgia unscathed. Avoiding the shallows in both states was the key. And we saw tons of dolphin and lots of shrimpboats.

We spent a few days in St. Augustine, one of our favorite ports. The city is so steeped in history, and it is beautiful as well. A trip out to San Sebastian winery for wine was in order as well as a visit to the Whetstone chocolate factory. Port wine and dark chocolate: Now that’s relaxation.

We decided to leave the boat in Titusville, Fla. while we flew home for the holidays.

Look forward to Part 2 of Just Ducky’s adventure in the Midwinter 2015 issue. Pam and her husband Mat took up sailing after their kids left the nest in 1991. Their first sailing was in Chesapeake Bay. After moving to New England, they sailed out of Groton and Westbrook, Conn., and their present home port of Mystic. editor@pointseast.com

PASSAGES, continued from Page 65 traveling together. Mr. Mullins was the owner and operator of Mullins Towing Service, Inc. until his retirement. He proudly served in The United States Army during the Korean War.

James Joseph Miles 78, Park City, Utah

The skier, sailor, golfer, sports fan, and consummate family man died at home, surrounded by his wife and children on Sept.

26. When it came to his career, Jim’s choices were charmed. The National Broadcasting Company, in Rockefeller Center, was where he met his wife Susan. They both worked in television production, where Jim was associate producer of “Concentration” 10 years.

In 1970, he joined Ziff-Davis Publishing Company and began a career in advertising sales, the first 10 years with “Skiing” magazine, followed by 16 more with “Yachting.” Both life-style sports became his passions, and his wife and children lived and loved his work/play life as much as he did.

During the “Skiing” years, the family resided in Westbrook, Conn., then relocated for “Yachting” to Newport, R.I., where they were regulars in the sailing community.

Among his proudest moments was becoming an honorary member of Ida Lewis Yacht Club for the length of his volunteer service.

Jim and Susan always planned for a post-retirement winter as ski bums in a western mountain town. Park City was the inspired choice in 1996, when Jim’s first bout with cancer prompted the couple to do it sooner rather than later. After seven years of winters in the mountains and summers by the ocean, the couple moved full-time to Park City.

For many years, Jim headed the race committee for the

www.pointseast.com

Park City Sailing Association’s Tuesday-night Laser races, and, in Auckland, New Zealand, he served on the race team running the 1999-2000 America’s Cup challenger series for the New York Yacht Club.

Hugh P. Chandler 83, Boston, Mass.

Dr. Chandler passed away on Oct. 9. He was a distinguished orthopedic surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital from 1964-1998.

Forty years ago, Hugh and his wife, Betsy, took up sailing, and they owned a series of six boats. They began racing, and competed in events from Canada to Key West, earning many victories. Hugh’s expert seamanship and gentlemanly competitiveness won him the admiration and respect of his fellow sailors.

When not sailing, Hugh and Betsy shared a passion for skiing. Hugh also enjoyed building and flying finely crafted radio-controlled model airplanes, biking, scuba diving, running (including four marathons), and playing tennis. He skied well into his seventies and sailed until the end.

Elizabeth “Betty” Robinson 99, Matunuck Hills, R.I.

Betty passed away, surrounded by family and friends, on Oct. 17. She and her late husband Knight Dexter Robinson were avid S-boat racers in Narragansett Bay, and she was active in Rhode Island Yacht Club affairs. She graduated in Interior Design from the Rhode Island School of Design and consulted on various projects with her husband, a partner in the architectural firm of Robinson, Green and Beretta.

Among many other affiliations, she was the oldest member of the Willow Dell Beach Club.

WORD/Dick

K la in

Photo by Dick Klain

South of Broad, in Charleston, S.C., is still out of reach for all but the aristocracy and nouveau-riche, but those homes can be enjoyed from the sidewalks on quiet streets.

Why I am going back ’m going back. I really don’t know why, but, like most of us, I frequently cruise to places I have already visited. Now I am headed back down the ditch, the Intracoastal Waterway, leaving my beloved New England to greet the chill of yet another predicted snowy winter in the Northeast without me.

Just what is it that draws me away? Some may think that it is to escape all that snow and cold and shoveling. As a lifelong Mainiac, I enjoy the winter months. Last winter, as my PDQ 32 trimaran, Moxie Cat, was on the hard at Royal River Boatyard, I would dutifully go down after every snowstorm to check on her. On the way home I would stop off for cross-country skiing in Cumberland. It doesn’t get much better than that after a snow.

I also enjoyed a trip to Maine Huts and Trails, and later to Baxter State Park. Skiing across Millinocket Lake is a tremendous high for me. All this is to say that I love the Pine Tree State in the dead of winter as much as I do at any other season. So, again, why am I drawn away for a good part of the late-fall, winter and early spring?

I enjoy the trip, both going and returning. It’s a great excuse to visit the Isles of Shoals after and before the summer crowds. The Cape Ann Light Station on

I

78 Points East December 2014

Thacher Island, Plymouth, the Cape Cod Canal, Buzzard’s Bay: I get to see these places since I really don’t go south much in the summer anymore. Crossing from Block Island to Norfolk is always exciting. Trust your boat and the work you have put into it, and it will pay you back with performance and safety.

I enjoy my crew. These are the moments that we all long for in our sailor’s hearts: setting up a watch schedule, checking our progress, watch on/watch off, the cobalt blue of the ocean, the sound of wind and wave and nothing else, stars that go on forever, all the joys of being offshore, but really not so far off.

The light on the horizon changes from New York City to the New Jersey shore to Cape Henry Light.

Then, bingo, you are over the bridge-tunnel and into the Chesapeake. The naval colossus of Norfolk brings the first bridges and the beginning of the Intracoastal Waterway, the ICW. The water has gone from blue to coffee, from salt to brackish.

Heading through the Dismal Swamp, the water in my wake is brown and fresh. I begin to notice more birdlife. Anhingas outnumber cormorants. Large wading birds abound. The sounds – and especially the smells – let me know that I am not in Maine anymore.

From Elizabeth City, I will head on up to New Bern to editor@pointseast.com

visit relatives to reestablish the human connection.

Following the ICW through the Alligator/Pungo River Canal then to Beaufort, N.C., I now have another decision – go outside or follow the ditch to Charleston.

Charleston is a must-see for me – always a stop that enriches my love of history. A city built by blacks who are only now, after three and a half centuries, beginning to share in the fruits of their ancestors forced labor and enslavement. South of Broad is still out of reach for all but the aristocracy and nouveau riche, but those homes and the perfumes of their gardens can be enjoyed from the sidewalks on quiet streets.

The damage from Hurricane Hugo has been absorbed by this city as so many other storms and earthquakes have been absorbed. Each one contributes to the heritage of the people of this city “where the Cooper and Ashley rivers come together to form the Atlantic Ocean.” The War of Northern Aggression, which started in Charleston, has not been forgotten at all, but it is no longer viewed as the end of this city’s history. Charleston is a first class destination with terrific restaurants and museums, an award-winning city marina, wonderful tourist services, safe and easy walking, and friendly people. It is also an education and a medical center. I must return to Charleston for I am in love with it.

Heading south always on the way, my next stop is Savannah. Savannah is right up there with Charleston, but more difficult to get to, being seven miles upriver from the ICW. I still haven’t figured out how to get there enjoyably. I must stop in Savannah to see the city squares, River Street, and, for me, an ice cream sundae at Leopold’s Ice Cream Parlor. I may have to wait in line at Leopold’s, but it is always worth the wait.

After having my dessert first, then I will meander over to The Pirates House for a wonderful southern meal. My daughter fell in love with shrimp and grits there. Imagine that, a Yankee woman finding real joy in the most commonly delicious southern food. Savannah has enough to impress anyone.

After the meal, a walk around Forsyth Park will aid digestion and reacquaint the visitor with this southern city that was saved from the hell of Sherman’s March to the Sea by the astute capitulation of the city fathers when faced with that Union army. Savannah is the city of “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.” It is still creating a rich and varied history in the 21st century.

My final destination this year will be Brunswick, Ga. I am very much taken with this small mill town and its excellent marina. Within a few miles of Florida, it is to me more authentic than much of the Sunshine State. It was once used as a hurricane hole by the Navy. The people are friendly. The restaurants and bars are reasonable. The streets are wide enough for www.pointseast.com

me to feel safe while riding around on my bicycle. Both Jekyll Island and Cumberland Island are within an easy day’s cruise. In fact, you could even bicycle to Jekyll Island, though with golf clubs that might not be a good idea.

Yep, it’s that Jekyll Island that was once the playground of the rich and famous, whose descendants let the State of Georgia take over their mansions, croquet lawns, and golf courses. Jekyll’s marina may also be a destination, if only to play some golf. When cruising I don’t carry the proper dress for croquet.

Cumberland Island National Seashore is a true treasure. Because of the generosity, sometimes forced, of the Carnegie and Coca Cola heirs, this island is open to all comers who might have a boat. Camping on the island is allowed, but only in the campgrounds by reservation. This jewel is administered by the National Park Service.

If you are expecting an Acadia National Park experience, you will be disappointed. There are no cars for hire, let alone an Ocean Drive. There are numerous trails through this barrier island to the eastern beach.

Just watch out for the wild horses; they think they own the place. The Park Service is slowly restoring the Plum Orchard Mansion, which has a dock and an easy anchorage for shallow-draft vessels. The remnants of the Carnegie’s largest mansion, Dungeness, will not be restored. Destroyed by fire in the 1960s, this was the centerpiece of life on the island for several generations. Revolutionary war general Nathaniel Greene’s homestead, from a century earlier, is still in use but closed to the public.

There are still “in holdings” on the island. These owners do have cars on the island. Watch out on the single road that goes from end to end as the drivers still drive as if they own the whole thing. Ownership on the island is a crucial issue. At this point, the only real owners are the diverse wildlife and the relentless waves on the eastern shore. Over the next generations, the Park Service will allow Mother Nature to regain her ultimate ownership.

Truth be told, maybe I may go farther south or even over to the Bahamas. For now, revisiting these old haunts and the numerous anchorages and gunkholes in between will provide the joy that cruising offers.

Meeting up with old friends, making new ones, and giving friends a destination in rural coastal Georgia are also high priorities. My moving water view is always changing. I have the time. I have a stout vessel.

How can I not go?
