The stuff of summer dreams, clockwise from above: A 36-foot outboard-powered landing craft; a 32-foot water ambulance; a water tractor; an amphibious landing craft.

Photos courtesy KND Naval Design

Pushing the envelope of solstice dreams ummer has finally – officially – arrived, school is out, and young people’s fancies turn to the possibilities inherent in the endless, long days of freedom they see ahead.

Fledgling wharf rats are dreaming of livelihoods on the water, no matter how impractical the schemes: collecting garbage from boats, cleaning boat bottoms, clearing pot warp from props, delivering groceries, hauling craft off local rocks – whatever comes to the fertile minds of teens and preteens.

This being the annual Family/Kids issue, let’s up the ante a bit for youngsters of all ages (we need some capital to finance the following projects) and push the envelope of solstice dreams. So, for starters, what say we consider buying an outboard-powered landing craft?

What could be more versatile for a variety of inter-island and harbor jobs. Designed by Cape Town, South Africa’s KND Naval Design, this 36-foot workboat is fitted with twin 225-horse Yamaha outboards, reaches a speed of 40 knots in light-load conditions, and is capable of carrying loads of up to five tons.

Once we get this baby paying for itself, let’s look at an amphibious landing craft. This KND project, with an in-hull track system, was designed for the waters between the bay of Mont St Michel and south of Jersey in the Channel Islands. There, the tide can go out for

S

www.pointseast.com

miles and where one has to navigate between sandbanks, rocks and currents. KND says the design is “Ideal for disaster/aid/defense/development projects,” but we say, “Think boats aground Downeast and in the Bay of Fundy.”

Here’s a money-maker: Recreational mariners are always stepping on oysters, breaking toes on deck hardware, or suffering from sunstroke, so why not a 32-foot KND water ambulance for coastal and inland waterways, equipped with the latest medical equipment and able to carry two patients and two medical personnel at a time? And insofar as money will be tight as we get this project off the ground, this vessel will boast a power/propulsion plant that doesn’t need external fuels and could run for up to five years, maintenance- and fuel-free.

Or how about a KND water tractor? This cutie has endless possibilities for any child from 8 to 80. Powered by the same power system as the ambulance, it can be used for cleaning oil spills, fire fighting, general work, maintenance, surveys, buoy and mooring handling, and clam digging. If we get one of these, we can spend every summer on the water without argument from our moms, wives and former bosses.

My work is done here: Dream big, gang, and have a productive summer on the water.

Ocean Cruising Club members Frances Rennie (left) and John Forsyth (right) present Scottish circumnavigator Jerry Hughes with an award of special recognition.

First deaf solo circumnavigator Gerry Hughes, the first deaf yachtsman to circumnavigate the world singlehanded, has received The Ocean Cruising Club’s Special Recognition Award.

Shortly after Gerry and his Quest III, a Beneteau 42s7, crossed the line in Scotland’s Troon Harbour on May 7, completing his circumnavigation around all five capes, he was greeted by more than 100 supporters, including Frances Rennie and John Forsyth of The Ocean Cruising Club (www.oceancruisingclub.org), who presented Gerry with the special award.

“Gerry is an extraordinary man all around,” Frances said. “It is no surprise, given his drive and determination in life, that he’s been able to accomplish so much and influence so many with his achievements in sailing. Gerry was very proud to receive this award.” Assisting with the presentation were the Provost for South Ayrshire and the Deputy Provost of Glasgow; OCC member Priscilla Travis was on hand to photograph the event.

Gerry left Troon on Sept. 1, 2012. Singlehanding a boat is a massive challenge in itself, but sailing without being able to hear the sounds that alert sailors to changes in circumstances requires extraordinary skill and perception. His accomplishment has been described as a “wonderful example of perseverance over disability.” During 210 days at sea, his journey covered 32,000 miles of ocean.

Not only has Gerry completed an arduous journey that few sailors have even contemplated, he has served as incomparable inspiration to the communities of deaf children and adults following his accounts 8

Points East July 2013

of adventure on the high seas. His blog and his tweets have shown disadvantaged people around the world that anyone can achieve something if they want it enough.

Gerry was beset by numerous electrical failures and had to stop in Cape Town. Rather than admit defeat because it was no longer a nonstop circumnavigation, Gerry kept going to complete the circumnavigation. After encountering severe weather and capsizing in the Southern Ocean, the boat sustained severe damage to essential equipment including his laptops. However, Gerry was able to continue to Hobart for more repairs and replacement of laptops before continuing his journey.

It is this undaunted spirit that is kindred with the philosophy of the Ocean Cruising Club. Born profoundly deaf, Gerry learned to sail at the age of two in his native Scotland. After completing a degree in Mathematics, he went on to become the first deaf teacher in Scotland since 1880. Aside from playing football on the winning Scottish and British Deaf Football Championships teams, and competing in the World Deaf Golfing Championships for Scotland six times, Gerry was the first deaf sailor to sail solo round Britain in 1981, and he also sailed across the Atlantic in the OSTAR in 2005 becoming the first deaf skipper to do so.

Isles of Shoals mooring policies All moorings at the Isles of Shoals are private.

Portsmouth Yacht Club maintains a number of moorings at the Isles of Shoals for the use of its membership. PYC is generous in letting nonmembers use these moorings when not in use by a club member.

PYC only asks nonmembers to follow a few simple rules when using their moorings: If asked by a club member to relinquish a mooring, please do so in a prompt manner.

Never leave your boat unattended; the person left on the boat must be capable of moving the boat.

No more than two boats should be rafted on a mooring.

If you are a nonmember, and using a PYC mooring on a busy weekend, you should expect to be moved off that mooring. PYC has 250 members, and the Shoals is a favorite destination. PYC member boats should be flying a club burgee.

Every year, there are issues with all moorings at the editor@pointseast.com

Shoals. Boats that do not own Shoals moorings often pick one up and proceed to dinghy to one of the islands for a few hours ashore. In the meantime, the mooring owner arrives and can’t access his mooring, and fireworks begin. These incidents are always unpleasant and can spoil everyone’s day.

If you are out at the Shoals every weekend, and you love the local clubs’ moorings, look into joining. The clubs pay for these moorings for the use of their members.

The goal is an enjoyable experience for all. Please help in making that happen. FMI: Contact the Portsmouth Yacht Club, VHF channels 9 and 78A, email: info@PortsmouthYC.org, www.portsmouthyc.org.

Is fitting-out the Fountain of Youth?

The June issue is a delightful read in many places, but nothing quite as delightful, however, as the editorial (“Thoughts While Painting a Boat”). We share something, here. Perhaps it is the time of year – springtime, with its freshness and promise of renewal, and of yet another season on the water – I can’t say for sure. But for the past 20 years that I’ve been owning and fixing up old boats, and even well before, spring fitting-out time is a time of excitement, antici-

Boatwise MarineTraining est. 1990

pation, hard work, yes, but also of satisfaction.

And if it is possible for a guy getting older to feel, at any time of the year, just a little bit more youthful than he has of late, it is while working outdoors in the boatyard in the fresh air and bright morning sun, surrounded by the sights and sounds of fellow boaters busy rigging, repairing, and puttering about.

One hears sanders running and aluminum ladders clanging against hulls, the air carries the odor of fresh paint, and there is an overriding sense of busy-ness, all to do with the rich promise of getting the hull wet and sailing out of the harbor. In my youth, there was also the aroma of Grandpa’s pipe on the air, burning a bowl of sweet toasted Cavendish, as he poked and prodded the seams, wearing his stained old flannel shirt.

Bottom paint smelled more like linseed oil than the sickening noxious compounds that today cover top and bottom sides, and most of the ladders were wooden.

But the basics are pretty much the same. One heads to the boatyard on a bright Saturday morning with a sense of purpose, a quickening pulse, a springy step, a happy demeanor and anticipation of a day of accomplishment, all knowing full well the true formula that whatever time you think it’s going to take to complete any one task in fitting-out, take that number and multiply it times five – or even 10 if you run into a problem.

But that’s boating. In the meantime, the sun-dappled harbor sparkles in the distance; salt tang mixes with newly blossomed wild roses down by the beach.

Downeast Gam Announcement Cruisers heading to Maine this summer should mark their calendars for the 23rd annual SSCA Downeast Gam at Gilkey’s Harbor, Islesboro, Maine.

The Gam will be held on Aug. 3 to give cruisers time to arrive, cruise Maine or Nova Scotia, then head back south.

This year’s Gam will kick off on Friday afternoon, Aug. 2, with a dinghy raft-up cocktail party. Come ashore Saturday Aug. 3 at 11 a.m. and bring your contribution for the potluck lunch at Dick and Kathy de Grasse’s cottage on Islesboro Island. Coordinates 44 16.9 N/68 55.9 W will put you in sheltered Broad Cove in front of the cottage.

There’s plenty of room to anchor in all-weather Gilkey’s Harbor. Dinghies can land on the seaweed beach in front of the cottage or tie up at the town dock (free) and walk a quarter-mile to the cottage. Following lunch, Rob Snyder, the incoming president of the

We go to great lengths on your behalf!

Maine Island Institute, will speak about Maine islands: Economy, population, and cruising. T-shirts will be for sale. SSCA members and non-members are welcome. Sixty-three boats anchored in the harbor last year. For more information, call the cottage at 207-7346948.

The birth of a new mariner’s ditty I read the article on the tide and phase of the moon (“Predicting the Tides from Moon Shapes” By Bob Kulin, June) recently. A couple of years ago, I was studying a tide chart and decided to figure out the relationship between the moon and the tides. As noted in the article, high tide is nearly exactly at 12:00 and low tide is at 6:00 on the full and new moons, with Boston/Portland tides and in daylight-saving time.

Quarter moons are the reverse. Based on this, I came up with the following mariner’s ditty, which could be more useful than “Red Skies at Night.”

“Full moon — tide at noon, First and last — supper and breakfast.”

Homer Shannon Windham, N.H. Bob Kulin responds: It is good to know that someone else has thought along the same lines, and I like his ditty. Some people are aware of the tides with the full and new moons, but fewer, like Homer, have made the connection with the quarter moons. My effort has been to simply further extrapolate upon these in order to also account for all of the days in between.

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

Growing up here is a real blessing for any child The June Mystery Harbor is Westport Point, Mass., my home, heaven on earth, and a part of my soul.

For all my life my family has lived on Westport Point.

When I was 10 my parents purchased the property located between Lees Wharf and the Paquachuck Inn, photographed here in Points East. We lovingly refer to this property as “the cottage,” and growing up it was our summer getaway, even though “the big house,” or winter house, is but 1,000 feet up the road.

Over the years, we built the marina, mainly to house our growing family of boats, but expanding out to two docks now, with many seasonal customers. The barge perched at the end of the main dock is named The Becky (thanks dad.)

Westport point and the Westport River have been my playground my whole life. Whether spending my summers at Boat Beach, jumping off Ship Rock with my brothers, or just crabbing from the dock, I was raised in the best place on earth. Now an adult, my boyfriend Josh and I own our own little fleet and spend every free moment we can getting back on the water.

Last year, my boyfriend and I sold our 1969, 32-foot Forester Johnson Prowler, Banjo (formally of Oak Bluffs), and purchased our current vessel, Thistle, a 29foot, 1991 ChrisCraft. Being our first season, we have not had much time to build memories on her, but have many overnights and long weekends planned around the south coast area. And of course we fish!

Also raised on the river, Josh shares the love of the water with me.

Mostly, we are out with family and friends, fishing for striped bass and blues (yuck), or tautog and fluke (yum.) While we disagree on which fish to catch – as he likes the illusive fighters, and I like the tasty ones – we have a blast out on the water with his little boy Michael and our two-year-old black-lab mix, Scupper.

Westport River has much to offer. Local boatyard F. L. Tripp and Sons (www.fltripp.com), which has been in business for over 80 years, offers a full facility, seasonal slippage and mooring, with transient moorings and slips available visitors. Tripp offers water and electric MYSTERY HARBOR, continued on Page 14

at the dock, full facilities with showers and laundry, as well as full repair shops, hauling and storage.

The entrance and the river itself are well marked.

The F.L. Tripp recommends using NOAA chart # 13228 and 132218. Most boaters will find a strong southerly wind. The tide is sometimes swift, but the channel is wide and the bottom is sandy. Approach between Halfmile Rock (N “6”) and The Knubble (Westport Harbor Light, #7, Fl G 6s 35 ft), minding the strong currents that can sometimes take you off guard. The harbormaster and Tripp’s Boat yard are just a hail away for help and directions.

The two most popular boat ramps – one being the town landing next door to the Back Eddy Restaurant, the other at Hix Bridge – are available for trailered vessels. Just remember to get your parking permit at Town Hall.

Westport is probably best known for our beaches, both private and public, and is the place to bring your family on a summer’s day. The state beach, Horseneck (www.mass.gov/dcr/parks), a southwest-facing beach, includes nearly 600 acres of ocean beach, dune and estuary habitat. This makes it a prime spot for swimming, surfing, walking and bird watching. Other beaches include Gooseberry Island, East Beach, Baker’s Beach, Cherry & Webb Beach, and Boat Beach, which we locals prefer as you can only get there by boat.

I am proud to call Westport my town and Westport Point my home. Growing up here is a blessing for any child. I cannot wait to share it with my children some day. A month or so ago I got a tattoo on my left forearm in homage to my home. It is the Westport scallop and the coordinates to my family’s marina. I joke that if I am ever found at sea, my rescuers will know just where to return me.

Lees tended the old, wood bridge The answer is Westport Point, Mass. Lees Wharf. Located on the south coast of Massachusetts, it’s situated right on the Westport River, leading to Westport Harbor. Years ago, it was a small whaling port. Today, it's an active lobster port of call.

The Lees used to run a lobster pound and fish market as well as tend to the old wooden-bridge openings and closings prior to 1962, when the Route 88 bridge was completed. It's a beautiful place to visit either by boat or car. As a child, I traveled Main Road, over the old bridge next to Lees' Wharf, to Baker's Beach, and for the last 20 plus years I have called Westport Point "home."

Perspectives Still smiling after all those years here was Phyllis. Halfshrouded by a faded-blue plastic tarp, and very much out of her element, she sat in a field behind a barn, sunken into her rotted cradle, as if ashamed of her condition. I stepped back a bit, feeling that our very presence must be embarrassing to her. I hadn’t wanted to return to Phyllis in the first place, knowing what we would find in a boat born 60 years ago and long gone from our family care.

It was Dad’s idea, coming back to see how she’d fared after all these years.

I glanced over at Dad. He was smiling, moving forward, intently curious.

One eye drooped a bit, a remnant of a couple of strokes he’d had nearly a decade before. His old pea-green jacket, faded and ripped by the pockets, clashed with his blue tweed hat, which sat askew on the back of his head. I’d long ago given up suggesting how he might improve his attire. When I’d made suggestions, he’d simply smiled and said with certainty: “Nope. That’s not what it’s about Dave.”

What is it all about, I wondered now. I’d been wanting to ask him that for a long time, figuring someone of his age and wisdom, someone who was still smiling after all these years, would surely have the answer. But somehow I never could.

Maybe I was afraid of the answer.

Or afraid that he wouldn’t have one.

And then what?

I watched Dad as he shuffled still closer to what remained of the old family boat. So little time was left for either of them now. And then I

thought of Mom, the love of Dad’s life for 55 years. She had dropped to 78 pounds after her second stroke.

Then came the emphysema. She couldn’t breathe at all without her oxygen, so Dad carried around her portable tank in one hand while with the other he struggled with both the plastic air hose and my mother’s unsteady step.

Taking care of Mom had become his newest mission. It was just as well, I thought. It filled a space made by the end of so much else. My two brothers and I were long out of his care; the job of raising us was done. Dad’s career had ended many years ago. Even his post-retirement yacht-club commodore stint had passed. And his tennis and cribbage partners? Most of them were dead. And here he was facing his old beloved boat, which was rotting away in some field away from the sea.

My God, I thought: This is the end of the road, Dad. How can you still be smiling? But, as usual, I just stood there, mute. A damp early spring wind shook Phyllis’ tarp, and I began to shiver.

Dad bent down and looked carefully at the faded, rust-streaked hull of his old friend Phyllis. “She’s still bleeding,” he said. “Never could fix that bleeding. Heads were knocked off the galvanized boat nails when she was first built in ’39; rust worked its way out to the surface over time.”

He backed away and slowly straightened, his eyes still focused on the rust on the hull. “Oxidation.

You can’t stop it. Capillary action of some sort brings the rust to the surface of the wood,” he said.

As he rubbed a stained section of the old hull, I noticed the blotch marks that advanced age had left on the back of his hand. Then he shook his head slowly.

“You can putty it, paint it, treat it any way you want.

But you can’t stop it.” Then he looked down at something purple and yellow at his feet; an early spring crocus had somehow emerged from the winter-ravaged, half-frozen earth. “Like that flower,” he said, pointing.

“Time moves things along, no matter what. It’s just the way things are.”

I looked down at the crocus, just beginning its journey, then over at Dad. An elderly man I thought could never get old now stood beside me, buffeted by the raw March wind. I wanted to speak, but couldn’t. As always, Dad

was so wrapped up in the significance of the immediate moment, it didn’t seem right to break his focus.

And so I looked at Phyllis. The beautiful, resilient wooden boat that had sailed our family through calms and storms was now dwindling away. I remember thinking that, given enough time, her timbers would eventually rot right back into the earth, the place from which they had sprung as oak, fir and mahogany trees more than a half-century ago.

“Maybe you should know something,” Dad said.

It jolted me, that phrase of his. It seemed so strangely serious, profound and even foreboding, coming from a man who always seemed to operate happily in the moment at hand, whistling his way through life’s easy and tough spots. I remember thinking, Perhaps this is the time he’s chosen to pass the baton of his life’s wisdom;

perhaps the “something” I should know is how to find happiness in the most dismal of situations; perhaps what is coming are instructive words on how to finally be comfortable with myself and cope with life’s all-too-fleeting passage. Or perhaps…perhaps he just wants to say a few words about how he feels, deep down, about a certain middleaged son of his. I turned and gave him my fullest attention, tuning out the sounds of the wind-buffeted tarp, the view of the boat, and the field around us.

“Polysulfide,” he said.

“What Dad?” “Polysulfide. You should know about that stuff. It might have absorbed the rust. But it hadn’t been invented yet. Resilient, long-lasting, gives when necessary, but somehow still sticks. Good stuff. DuPont came up with it. Maybe 3M, now that I think about it.”

I shook my head and smiled.

“Let’s go home, Dad.” And we trudged away through the remaining patches of snow, both knowing that we’d probably never see Phyllis again. Then Dad slowed and turned slightly, his eyes back on his boat.

“Better watch ahead,” I said. “Pay attention to this path we’re on; it’s a slippery one.”

“Can you still see it?” he asked.

“See what, Dad?” “Even with her keel in the grave, it’s still there.”

“What’s still there?” I asked, shivering again and beginning to become frustrated. There was a slight

PERSPECTIVE/Cra ig

Pa r melee Car ter

I’m a sailor with a writing problem ast summer, the planets were in such extraordinary alignment as to permit my wife and me to take several months off to go cruising. We seized the opportunity. What began as a rigorous Bermuda round-trip ended blissfully in Martha’s Vineyard and the other delightful islands off the Massachusetts coast.

Since we had cruised this region many times over the years – and since we were still more or less recuperating from the Bermuda run, – we decided there was no reason to keep moving, that it would be nice to just lie back and take it easy for a while. So laid back we were, spending day after day swinging lazily on the hook, frolicking away the dog days and rejuvenating in the warm summer breeze.

Then, one morning while thumbing through one of the popular sailing rags, I had an epiphany: I should be writing this stuff! Why, if the Pardeys and the Leonards and all the other fine writer/cruisers who appear again and again throughout these glossy pages could do it, then why not me? I had the time on my hands and the motivation; i.e. the possibility of earning a few extra bucks for the cruising kitty. My mind instantly went into overdrive as I imagined the dizzying whirlwind of publication ac-

tivities that the famous author must contend with: talk circuits, book tours, agents and contracts, movie options, frenzied fans eagerly awaiting my next Tweet.

I tossed the magazine aside and pulled my trusty laptop from its case, set it on the saloon table, powered up, and watched with fresh intrigue as it cycled through the start-up routine, launched Word, and, voila, a new document appeared just waiting for me to create. The world was my oyster, but how would I begin? I stared at the blank screen and blinking cursor.

With a title, of course! The all-important title is like the egg that embodies the embryo. Come up with the title and the underlying premise would then be revealed to me, so I thought. Hmmm.... What should I call it? I studied the blinking cursor again, but it revealed nothing. I stared into the blank page, becoming one with the emptiness, then my mind began to wander. I had tuned in the NOAA forecast earlier, but maybe I should check it again.

I’ll take a short break, have a cup of tea, and come back to it.

While the kettle heated, I glanced at a book I had been reading by Alistair MacLeod entitled “No Great Mischief: A Novel.” Ah ha, I mused, a novel. So many book titles

have these two words appended, I could only conclude this was some sort of literary trick. I returned to the blank page and typed in rapid fire, “ _ _ _ _ _ _: a magazine article.” The underscores being placeholders for the rest of the title, which, I was confident, would come in good time. At least it was a start.

I quickly moved the cursor up to the “save” menu. Saving meant validation that there was actual, meaningful content. It felt good. Of course I would want credit for this work so I started to type the byline: By . . . .

Again. I was stumped. Since my own name hasn’t much of a literary ring to it, I would need a pen name, a moniker, like Mark Twain, or Lemony Snicket, or Sting.

I queried my wife, “What should I call myself?” thus inviting a repertoire of disparaging titles that, however befitting, wouldn’t exactly suit me well in my new profession. “Lord Nelson”, she finally proclaimed, would go very well with the name of our boat, Lady Hamilton.

True enough. I could think of nothing better than taking on the name of the famous admiral, and quickly typed it out.

I inserted several blank lines and indented. What next? The cursor pulsed, waiting for more. I stared at it looking for clues. Its cadence became hypnotic, and I decided another break was in order. I’d go on deck and check the anchor and then it would be time for some lunch.

While dining on a platter of cheese and veggies, I con-

ferred with my wife over possible writing topics but she was of little help, finally suggesting that writers often just start writing something, anything at all, not knowing where it will take them, and that at some point in the process they magically find themselves being carried blissfully down a path they had never even imagined – that once these writers start in, the work sort of takes over and writes itself! I was dumbfounded. What could be better than writing on autopilot? It was definitely worth a try – after a nap.

I lay on my bunk waiting for sleep, but when I closed my eyes the pulsating cursor appeared. I tried to think about other things, but the writing project unnerved me, finally ruining what was normally one of the more pleasant aspects of my daily routine. I climbed out of the bunk and returned to the computer, wishing the cursor had surprised me and moved on its own, laying down line after wonderful line until my marvelous story had been written. But the screen was dark. The wretched thing had, in fact, had been sleeping soundly while I could not.

Clearly I would have to teach this mutinous machine who was captain!

I hit the power button and cursed the monotonous startup routine, finally opening my saved document. A dialog box appeared: Wireless Network Available. Since wireless had been frustratingly intermittent, I was compelled to take advantage. I opened my email and was presented with 15 unsolicited spams. I clicked on the NOAA

It’s not about the nails ive years ago, my husband and I chartered a 50foot Beneteau in the Grenadines with our two best-friend couples, each of which were sailing novices. Mike was the captain, and I his reliable first mate. The six of us were dining under the stars at a beautiful restaurant on Petite Saint Vincent.

It was one of those perfect evenings where both the skies and the people were warm and friendly, and the women of our group struck up a conversation with the female half of a couple that had been living aboard their boat.

The woman was tanned and prematurely wrinkled.

She wore a soft, faded T-shirt, and her long, scraggly ponytail was secured with a simple piece of twine. She told us that she and her husband had “sold everything” about five years ago and had been living on their 37-foot sloop. She told us how she dyed her own hair, caught and dried her own fish, and sewed up her husband’s hand with a needle and thread when he needed stitches.

“That’s me in a few years,” I said to my friends, as the woman excused herself to use the ladies room.

They just laughed. “Really, don’t laugh. That’s me in a

few years,” I repeated, “Shoot me now.” And we’ve been recalling and laughing about that story for years because I am the last person in the world you would imagine being more than a few weeks away from her hair stylist, let alone catching and drying her own fish.

Suddenly, though, the story is a little less funny. Last month we bought a sailboat. And not just any boat. We bought my husband’s lifelong dream: A Hylas 49, a gorgeous sloop we have named Exodus. The problem?

It’s the kind of boat you could live on comfortably for months or even years, and that scares me. I’m not ready to sell it all and live aboard, and I’m not sure that the dehydrator that my vegan daughter left behind when she went to college still works, but I don’t really want to find out.

I love sailing with my husband, really I do. I love the breeze in my face: the spray of saltwater, the rock of the boat at a mooring. I especially love sharing a chilled bottle of white wine on deck at sunset, celebrating the fact that, together, we have made it safely to a new destination. But I worry that I may not be totally cut out for a life at sea, and it’s not just about the nails, hair and clothes (though I’d be lying if I said that was-

Acknowledge the fear. Do this by talking about it incessantly. “Should we reef the sails?” “The boat was built to take this, right?” “How come there are no other boats out here?” “Do you see we are only in 19 feet?” “Are we still on course?” My husband threatened to name our sailboat, “The Nag-ivator,” but it eases my stress not to hold anything back.

Accept fate. Remember, the things you worry about probably won’t happen. It’s the things that take you completely by surprise that you really have to worry about.

Repeat a mantra. Say this softly to yourself while taking deep breaths. My favorites these days: “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” and “The Journey is the destination.”

Pretend it is fun. “Look how those waves are crashing over the bow.” “That is so cool.” “It is so awesome we get to test the boat like this.”

Pamper yourself. This is one I am particularly good at. Before you set sail, get a pedicure and a manicure (a gel fill works magically, I might add – 10 perfect fingernails after 10 days on board.) And when I slammed my pinky toe against a block and it became purple and swollen, I was sure glad the other nine looked extra special.

Indulge. I admit that bringing the electric milk frother was a bit over the top, but I felt it would be nice to bring a little bit of Starbucks to the Chesapeake Bay. And it was.

Keep at it. It’s been about 30 years of sailing together, and I think my comfort zone is beginning to nudge to the right a bit.

I wrote this piece in 10-foot swells and 17-knot winds, so clearly I am getting somewhere. But I am not sure I will ever lose the anxiety completely, and I am not sure I really want to, because someone has got to be the worrier – it’s safer that way. And if my husband cuts himself, he’d best remember I will not be stitching him up. I will be passed out on the deck. Blood is another one of my fears, and I can only handle trying to conquer one fear at a time.

Maine Island Trail Ale is tapped at MITA fest

www.beeskneeszipperwax.com

As part of a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Maine Island Trail, a limited-edition craft beer has been produced for commercial distribution by Portland brewer Rising Tide, in partnership with MITA. Rising Tide is a small, Portlandbased company with a mission to make quality beer from sustainable, locally sourced ingredients. It is a family-owned business of avid local boaters, who are eager to support island stewardship. Now these passions have come together in the form of what one taster called “a crisp, hoppy ale that pairs perfectly with summer in Maine.”

Through an exclusive licensing arrangement, MITA will earn a royalty on all purchases of Maine Island Trail Ale. The ale is available at Maine retailers, including Rosemont Markets, Whole Foods, RSVP, Downeast Beverages, select Hannafords, Bow Street Market in Freeport, and at a variety of bars that pour Rising Tide. It can also be purchased direct from the brewery on Fox Street in Portland’s East Bayside neighborhood.

Located across from the well-known Griswold Inn, in Essex, Conn., Toys Ahoy! has been making kids and adults happy for 36 years.

Toys Ahoy!

43 Main St., Essex, Conn.

Despite the store name, Toys Ahoy! actually sells more books in the maritime category than toys, although both can be found. The shop has a general line of toys and books. Toys Ahoy! owner Allen Divoll

wouldn’t necessarily say the selection is spun more towards boats or ocean, although he does sell more boats compared with a store that isn’t near the ocean. Toys Ahoy! sells many classic New England books. “Toy Boat,” “A Boat for Rorie,” “Grandma Drove the Lobster Boat,” and a series of books from the Mystic Seaport all are big sellers.

Located across from the well-known Griswold Inn, Toys Ahoy! has been making kids and adults happy for 36 years. Divoll is the second owner, having purchased the store 16 years ago. Even back in the day, the original owners felt there was a need, as people had to go all the way to Old Saybrook for a toy store. Toys Ahoy! serves both the local population and visitors to the town. Business picks up, says Divoll, “when people come to work on their boats and send the kids up the hill.” The local business is strong not just because of the nice selection, but also because of the number of toy stores which have disappeared.

The town of Essex and Toys Ahoy! receive a sizable number of famous people, including those performing at and attending the Goodspeed Opera House and the Ivoryton Playhouse. “It’s not unusual for a significant size boat to visit Essex Island Marina with somebody of note. Ted Kennedy and Billy Joel both came to our store,” Divoll shared. FMI: 860-767-2067, www.toysahoyessex.com.

Mystic Seaport’s mission is to inspire an enduring connection to the American maritime experience. The store is an extension of that experience.

Mystic Seaport Museum Store/Mystic Seaport Maritime Bookstore 75 Greenmanville Avenue., Mystic, Conn.

At Mystic Seaport’s Maritime Bookstore, where customers come from all over the world, one of the more popular youth books is “Lobster Lady” by local author Vivian Volovar. Small model boats are popular with

children as well as nostalgic toys such as Jacob’s Ladders, Games of Graces, Penny Whistles, and Maple Bones, all of which can be found at the Mystic Seaport Museum Store.

“The store is a part of the experience of guests visiting this unique maritime museum,” says bookstore manager Larry Kelly. Store director of the Museum Store, Julie Vangel adds, “We serve a large number of school groups who come for a day trip with their schools as well as the overnighters who sleep on the [full-rigged training ship] Joseph Conrad.” Mystic Seaport’s mission, Vangel says, “is a museum that strives to inspire an enduring connection to the American maritime experience.

Two new Sailors for the Sea Rainy Day Kits Sailors for the Sea, based in Newport, R.I., has announced the release of two new downloadable Rainy Day Kits, with free marine-science lesson plans. The Rainy Day Kits are environmental lesson plans focused on marine ecology that can be taught to young sailors in yacht clubs, sailing programs, and other low-resource environments around the country.

In the first new kit, “Everything Flows Downstream,” students act as land developers, demonstrating how everyone contributes to the pollution of a river as it flows through a watershed and recognizing that everyone’s “contribution” can be reduced. This Rainy Day Kit was contributed by the New England Aquarium.

The second new kit – “What Is Hiding in the Water?” – shows how to build plankton and dip nets out of common materials. Students use these tools in local bodies of water to learn about marine ecology and the role of microscopic organisms in the oceans. This kit was contributed by the Waterfront Center (www.thewaterfrontcenter.org), in Oyster Bay, N.Y. Other Rainy Day Kits include “The Deadliest Catch” (contributed by the Pew Environment Group: hands-on fishing activity to learn about the effects of advancing technology on

The store has been in the same location and doing the same kinds of things for almost 30 years. “We try to have in the summertime things that at least scream the town of Mattapoisett, if not water,” says Hottel.

While Mattapoisett is not a huge destination for boating, people return year after year, and many have their boats on moorings.

Because of the near disappearance of the traditional bookstore, No Kidding! finds itself carrying more and more kids’ books. They carry both activity books and classic books. Books about water and islands are popular, and No Kidding! always has nautical books. The mascot of the town of Mattapoisett is a seahorse and, thus, the shop always has seahorse items. It also carries remote-controlled powerboats and sailboats as well as Playmobil boats. FMI: 888-898-0312, www.nokiddingtoys.com.

The Harbor Series includes replicas of boats and facilities in Nantucket Harbor, and kids can build their own harbor, a piece at a time.

The Toy Boat 41 Straight Wharf, Nantucket, Mass.

”There is nothing anything like The Toy Boat around,” says owner Loren Brock, “because there are so many commercially made products, “We were losing the essence of beautiful, quality handmade products and things that are made in the local vicinity.”

Brock adds, “When you go on vacation, I think you should be able to buy things that are made in the area by local craftspeople; it gives you the flavor of the community. Our store reflects that.”

Their Harbor Series says it all: These are actual replicas of boats that exist in Nantucket Harbor. The idea behind the series is that the children can gradually, one piece at a time, build their own Nantucket Harbor. “If they come on a certain ferryboat, they can get a handmade replica of that specific boat,” she says.

“If they come by plane and walk on the dock, they’ll see things they recognize and have special meaning to them. These are playthings, not models to put on the shelf; they are meant to be played with. You can get docks and ramps and drive the cars on and off the ferryboats and manipulate the finger piers.”

About half of the toys are made locally on the island or in the New England region. The handmade toys are always the most popular. Whales, in many forms, are also popular gifts, as symbols of the island’s whaling history. Boats are also best-sellers, and they are nongender-specific: Girls play with them just as much as do boys.

Within the Harbor Series, the Rainbow Fleet (of Beetlecats) consists of individually hand-carved wooden sailboats available in 42 different colors and historically accurate. These aren’t just for kids, though: The Toy Boat sells them for weddings and an-

the perfect possibilities. Forty-yearold Jabberwocky has a large selection of books on sailing, boating, maritime history, and the oceans themselves, while Eureka! has everything from stuffed lobsters to lobster puppets, sea turtles and manta rays.

Strawbery Banke Museum, in Portsmouth, N.H., won first place in the 2011 New England Museum Association Publication Award Competition for “Good Morning, Strawbery Banke.”

The 40-page, full-color book, aimed at readers aged 4-8, was written and illustrated by Wickie Rowland. The book, published in 2010 by Publishing Works in Exeter, N.H., won its category of volumes priced at $10 or less. NEMA received 206 entries from 64 organizations competing in 16 categories for the 2011 awards.

The book has won an enthusiastic audience for the story and its real-life hero, J. D., the black cat who roams the 10-acre living history museum in downtown Portsmouth. On each page, J.D. walks through different perspectives and ways of life, from historic to modern, at Strawbery Banke. Watercolor pen drawings depict J.D.’s tour through time. One reviewer of the book

commented, “Wickie Rowland is an exquisite illustrator and the text is easy enough reading for younger history buffs to grasp, yet interesting enough for all ages to get involved in.

This book should be required reading in grade school history classes, as it gives a wonderful, tangible experience of life in early New England.” with funding from Piscataqua Savings Bank and designed by Anna Pearlman, Good Morning, Strawbery Banke is available in the Museum Store and from booksellers. Publisher Jeremy Townsend congratulated Strawbery Banke and author Rowland on the award, saying, “It is a pleasure to be the publisher of such a wonderful, wonderful book. Everyone who sees it is charmed and apparently the New England Museum Association judges were no exception. Congratulations to Strawbery Banke Museum and Wickie Rowland!” FMI: www.strawberybanke.org.

reka! emphasizes learning, and Jabberwocky leans toward learning and books and how you can put the two together,” Little explains.

There are seashore books for 3- to 7-year-olds, and seashore books for those 7 and up. “We have everything from “Eyewitness – Shark” to books on oceanology and coral reefs,” she says. “Storybooks and read-aloud picture books that feature the sea and seashore are big, and we carry a full line of ocean creatures for imaginary play,” she says. Encouraging imaginary play is one thing Eureka! does really well, so you’ll find cool toys by Safari.

Jabberwocky is one of the oldest and largest independent bookstores in New England. Eureka! opened in 1993. Both are great stores for a family field trip.

The market for Eureka! is more local, but for Jabberwocky, because of the large selection, customers come from all over.

Eureka!’s most in demand nautically themed items are Safari’s replicas of sea life. “Our local children collect them, and our tourist children gravitate to them because they represent the shoreline and all that is new to them,” owner Nancy Streeter says. “We also carry a line of puppets from Folkmanis toys, who create puppet sharks, dolphins, crabs, hermit crabs and lobsters. They are fun and wonderfully done.”

The store is set up in sections – a sea-life section, an insect section, a dinosaur section, a rock section,

etc. – all stocked with exciting toys. “My mission from day one was to provide my community with the best toys, with the best price, to excite the children, and bring them hands-on learning,” Streeter says. “I’m a big believer in ‘hands on,’ with which the child can erupt a volcano, build a robotic creature, make friendship bracelets. I just love that there are so many wonderful choices out there.” FMI: 978-465-9359, www.jabberwockybookshop.com, www.eurekatoys.com.

New Hampshire Strawbery Banke Museum Store 14 Hancock St., Portsmouth, N.H.

The Strawbery Banke Museum Store carries toys and books for kids. They receive 10,000 schoolchildren a year, as well as families visiting on their own, so there’s lots of demand. “Our book section has many options – local history, maritime history, biographies and gardening books for kids, reflecting the Museum’s areas of interest,” says Stephanie Seacord, director of marketing communications. “We even have our own book about JD, the Museum’s black-cat mascot. His book is “Good Morning, Strawbery Banke,” and is the perfect souvenir (along with a stuffed JD cat toy that makes an ideal ship’s cat) of their visit, local history and “JD sightings” for younger children.”

Visitors from all over New England, the U.S. and abroad come to see the 37 original buildings and 12 historic gardens on the 10-acre site, to discuss the issues of the eras with role players. “The President of the United States even stopped by in September and recalled when he and his daughters enjoyed ice cream while walking around the neighborhood [in 2007, when they could still do that sort of thing],” Seacord said.

Tug Boat Alley

Tugboat Alley carries merchandise with both pirate and tugboat themes, but the former often carries the day for cruising kids.

47 Bow St., Portsmouth, N.H.

Pirate items, pirate books, a periscope, a telescope, pirate hats and patches, and a sword that’s made of foam (so the parents don’t think of it as deadly) are among the big sellers at this tug-themed store for adults and kids. Wooden 3D puzzles –one of a destroyer, one of a pirate ship, and one of a submarine – also are hits. All have interlocking pieces and don’t need glue.

www.pointseast.com

“We wanted to do a nautical gift shop in Portsmouth and were located with a window that looked out on the tugboats,” explains Natalie Hassold, who owns the store with her husband. “The tugboats are iconic images here in town. We started getting a lot of questions about the tugs, and started get more and more things related to tugboats – models, gifts, toys. It just evolved!”

‘Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie’ This is a children’s book that tells the amazing story of Abbie Burgess, who manned the light on Matinicus Island for four weeks, keeping the lights burning by herself, while her father, the lighthouse keeper, was stuck on shore during a storm in the winter of 1856. The authors of “Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie,” Connie and Peter Roop, told this inspiring tale to guests at the Penobscot Marine Museum’s Children’s Story Hour and Book Signing on June 8. We thought Points East readers should know about this book, which is wonderfully illustrated by Peter E. Hanson. FMI: www.lernerbooks.com, www.penobscotmarinemuseum.org.

“The Maine Maritime Museum store carries nautical-themed items for visitors from 1 to 90 years of age,” according to Dave Garrison, director of marketing & communications. “More than 50 percent of store sales are in books, and there are volumes available appropriate for all ages. The store’s book selection focuses on maritime-related books, from naval history to howto books on boatbuilding, and books with a Maine topic, particularly those of a maritime theme.”

Among the most popular children’s titles are the Robert McCloskey books, “One Morning in Maine” and “Blueberries for Sal.” The series of historical books by James Nelson, who is also the Museum’s Education Coordinator, are very popular with adults, as are the

museum’s published books about Maine maritime history, books about Bath Iron Works, and those with a U.S. Navy topic, especially set during WWII. Says Garrison, “Among the most interesting customers are those who visit the store and see items they recall from their own childhood - such as a balloonpowered boat or a favorite children’s book – and buy several of the items for their grandchildren.”

The Maine Maritime Museum store, he says, was established for two principal reasons: “So that visitors could expand on their Museum experience by digging deeper into maritime topics or Maine culture and history, and so that they could purchase mementos of their visit or gifts for others.” FMI: 207-443-1316, www.mainemaritimemuseum.org.

Blue Hill Books has a maritime/nautical book section primarily for adults, but some are stories parents can read to their kids. Others focus on sailing skills and knot tying, which are of interest to all ages. Their biggest selling children’s books are the Robert McCloskey series, including “One Morning in Maine” and “Time of Wonder.”

The town of Blue Hill is a seasonal community, with many visiting the area in the summer. “About 50 percent are here by boat or here for boating purposes like the Wooden Boat School,” says Samantha Haskell, vice president of the 25-plus-year-old store. FMI: 207.374.5632, www.bluehillbooks.com.

At The WoodenBoat Store, of course, which, incidentally, is part of “WoodenBoat” magazine, along with the WoodenBoat School. The WoodenBoat School offers courses on the arts of boatbuilding, woodworking, and seamanship.

The books are the biggest sellers at the store, but it also offers a few models for older children. There’s a pirate-adventure kit, and everything from tools to boat plans. Customers include boaters and boat builders.

The store opened 25 years ago for boat enthusiasts and boatbuilders. All of the merchandise found in the store can also be found online. Categories include “Kid Stuff,” and under “Books,” see both “Kids Books” and Arthur Ransome’s “Swallows and Amazons” series.

Nowadays, the world of shopping is not entirely a choice between big-box stores and the Internet, and a few very special shops such as these are still scattered around coastal New England, awaiting your visit during the summer cruise.

chorage. The rumble of lobsterboat engines woke us at dawn. I poked my head topside and saw the outline of the island in the fog. By eight o’clock, with breakfast finished and the boat prepared for sailing, we could make out individual trees. I estimated the visibility at half a mile. “Maybe it’ll burn off,” I said, with more hope than conviction.

Planet Waves doesn’t have what you’d call sophisticated electronics. It has little, in fact, beyond a compass, a depthsounder, VHF radio, and running lights. I raised the radar reflector to the top of the mast on the spinnaker halyard, and got out my hand-held Garmin GPS, roughly the size and shape of a TV remote. On the Canadian chart I’d ordered online, I plotted our course – 130 degrees magnetic, roughly southeast – and entered an approximate waypoint on the GPS for the island’s southern tip.

It was comforting to know that there was nothing but deep water between the two points, and that the Grand

Manan shore was bold, with no outlying ledges. Southwest Head was also topped by a lighthouse with a powerful horn. If we missed, we would make sure to miss to the north, so we would see the cliff and not sail on into the small islands and shoals south of Grand Manan.

The fog closed in almost as soon as we left the harbor.

It was a wet fog, necessitating slickers over layers of warm clothes. But the wind was our friend, blowing steadily from the southwest, just ahead of the beam. The ugly chop we’d experienced on the way up from Roque was gone, replaced by long, gentle swells. We sailed in eerie silence, hearing but not seeing the occasional fishing boat, every so often passing a lobster buoy set in 270 feet of water.

We took turns at the helm, staring at the compass because there was nothing else to see, checking our progress on the GPS, and holding our tack and sail trim thanks to the steady, moderate breeze. Rain fell intermittently, but the wind held. “Trust your instruments, not

So far it had been smooth sailing. We’d been on the boat for two weeks, minus a four-day break in Bangor while I wrapped up some work, and we were getting along famously. When there was a decision to be made – like when to reef or drop sail – I made it, but it always felt like consensus. He spliced a line. We fished. We talked.

The sea coming into Cutler had been uncomfortable, but until now nothing about the trip had been overly challenging.

A few hours out, we began to hear the horn on Southwest Head. Fog limited visibility to a few boat lengths.

The GPS told us we were getting close. Then it told us we were there. Still we saw nothing. I sent Rigel to the bow. The depth dropped below 200 feet, then into double digits. The horn grew louder until it seemed to come from all directions at once. The arrow on the tiny screen of the GPS now pointed 60 degrees astern. Finally, Rigel yelled, “I hear surf!”

Our first view of Canada was not of the cliff or the lighthouse atop it, but of a seaweed-covered boulder, and then another. The depthsounder was now down to 20 feet. I bore off to the south, keeping the outlines of the rocks in view. The horn moaned somewhere above us.

We rounded the point, seeing only outlines in the fog behind the immediate shoreline. Inside the point, we passed between the shore and a charted bell buoy we neither saw nor heard. I started the six-horsepower outboard and kept the shore in sight. Two pairs of eyes

stared intently into the grayness, mindful of our Canadian chart’s printed warning: “Numerous uncharted fish traps may exist shoreward of the 10-meter line.”

Remnants of old fish weirs can be found along the coast in Downeast Maine, but around Grand Manan they are ubiquitous. Rigel called out from the bow, pointing out each new obstacle, making sure I saw it. We carefully went outside each one, then back toward the shore.

Houses appeared, isolated homes above rocky beaches.

Seal Cove is about five miles northeast of the point.

The harbor is enclosed by high walls that keep out the waves and wind. There are actually two enclosures, the guidebook said, right next to each other, but the northern one dries out completely at low tide. The southern harbor, the one you come to first, is the one to enter. If we could find it.

By following the land, we ought to run right into it. But suddenly a solid, rounded shape loomed out of the fog, dead ahead. It looked like an island. There were no islands on the chart between us and the harbor. As we drew closer, the dark mass split into several identical shapes, too symmetric to be anything but artificial. We could see now that they were not opaque except in their outlines, and we realized that we were looking at a series of salmon pens. Fish farming, on a larger scale than anything we’d seen in Maine.

In the fog there was no way to tell how many of them there were. The closest one had a scarecrow strapped to

the outside, which we momentarily mistook for a man. They were massive, and full of jumping fish. I dared not go between them, for there could be lines, and the periphery of the array was marked by large buoys. But passing outside of them caused us to lose sight of the land again. Now where was the harbor?

We learned later that Grand Manan’s traditional herring fishery has largely collapsed, and an aquaculture industry has been established in an attempt to replace it.

Many people, including many Grand Mananers, are leery of eating farmed fish, but it does provide jobs on the island.

In the fog, it was difficult to determine how far the fish pens extended. We could see the nearest two or three, but the rest were only outlines in the gray. The boat was now 90 degrees off our course for the harbor. “Is that the end of them?” I called out to Rigel on the bow.

“I think so,” he yelled back.

I swung slowly back to the original course. It was still too foggy to see from the fish pens to the wall of the harbor. The next day, when the fog lifted and we saw what a short distance it was, we laughed. The GPS, accurate to within about 100 feet, was little help at this point. And then suddenly the wall was there, and the tiny entrance, and lobsterboats tied up to floating lobster cars within.

Lobster is Grand Manan’s remaining healthy fishery, but the season ends the last week in June.

Consequently, the small harbor was neither busy nor crowded. There was a place to tie up, right in front of the only other sailboat in the harbor. A man hammering something together on the lobster car told us that the sailboat, the same size as Planet Waves, belonged to a local guy who kept it there, and that we were welcome to use the space for as long as we liked.

We tied up, furled the sails, and hoisted our Canadian courtesy flag, which we had forgotten to do upon editor@pointseast.com

crossing into Canadian waters (pointless, because no one would have seen it anyway). Then we went below, poured two shots of rum, and congratulated ourselves on arriving safely in a foreign country without seeing it. The trip from Cutler had taken just over six hours, from anchor to dock. In clear conditions, it would have been a routine day sail.

We had come in the back door, so to speak.

Grand Manan is about half the size of Maine’s Mount Desert Island, though it has one-fifth MDI’s yearround population and nowhere near the number of visitors. Plus you have to get there by boat or plane, and almost all visitors arrive by ferry at the northern end. The harbors on the southern end are working harbors, surrounded by small villages and the ruins of former fish plants.

At Ingalls Head the following day we entered another walled harbor, and tied up to another lobster car for the night. We watched the comings and goings of a small ferry to one of the outlying islands. Because of the immense tides, the ferry is able to pull up to a permanent ramp and disgorge vehicles directly onto the land.

As is the case on most inhabited islands, everybody drives, and services such as the laundry and the liquor store are located for the convenience of islanders rather than visitors.

We managed to explore much of the island, by boat and on foot and by hitching rides. We got an impromptu tour of the north end, including the lighthouse known as The Whistle, where we looked west at Campobello Island and Lubec Narrows. The people we met were without exception friendly and welcoming.

We sailed back to Maine on a northwest wind with visibility to the horizon, perhaps the most beautiful day of the summer. When we rounded Southwest Head and saw where we had been, at the bottom of the 300-foot cliff, we could only shake our heads, thank our instruments and our boat, and head for home, in www.pointseast.com

When we informed him boat was new to us, and equipped with a new GPS. All in we would stop at Cape Ann Marina for repairs, we didn’t all, this trip spelled “adventure” (a word lacking only an think he cared much, but he wished us luck anyway – “S” and an “I” to spell “disaster”).

We were following a 30-foot Sea Ray named Absolutly II – named after the vodka and the owner’s pest-control business – and other boats from Cove; new friends who had coerced us into going on this trip. While under way, we kept in close contact with Paul, the experienced captain of Absolutly II. We were closer than he appreciated; I used to have kind of a radio fetish, but have since matured due in large part to a dampening effect from my friends.

Paul was traveling with his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend, Dawn (or Dove or Joy – some dishwashing-liquid name).

4th, continued from Page 57 One hour later, he met us at Cape Ann Marina. He told us he had to “fully survey” both motors to be able to determine the problem. We waited, anxious to get to Boston before dark and before an impending storm brewing to the south of us became a problem. Remember: We were new at all of this boating stuff.

Two hours later, he had solved our problem.

It was the fuel filters.

Under way, again, Half Mine was making her way through Gloucester Harbor. Unfortunately, there was no longer anyone to talk with on the radio; we had lost our flotilla, and were pretty much on our own. We also noticed fewer boats on the water due to the approaching storm front. Our new GPS was not acting properly. I do really believe it was the GPS and not operator error; its manufacturer is no longer in business. We had paper charts, a compass, and absolutely no experience using either one. We

I should also mention that, by this time, Louise and I were no longer speaking to each other... had been told by various folks, “When you see Boston, don’t go toward it or you will end up in Winthrop Harbor,” so we left it well to our starboard.

We missed Boston.

We did, however, find a lighthouse we could not identify on the charts (the charts had several lighthouses).

How is it possible to be lost this close to our destination? Stupidity. The GPS was junk; the dark clouds were much closer; there were no other boats in sight. So I called Frank on my cell phone; he was my boating buddy from the previous season and

quite knowledgeable.

Frank was also at a family cookout in Methuen; how could we possibly have thought he could help us? Really stupid. I should also mention that, by this time, Louise and I were no longer speaking to each other, and Debbie was quietly sitting on the rear bench seat. I seem to recall telling them that if they thought they could operate the boat better than me, and get us there better than me, then they should do so – now. I was really surprised they did not take me up on the offer. We spotted a solitary boat heading across our bow and in the opposite direction. We hailed this no-name boat and asked if we could follow him; the storm was now seriously threatening us. We asked where he was going, but really didn’t care at this point, as long as it was toward land.

We really enjoyed our first visit to Marina Bay in Quincy; the lighthouse turned out to be Scituate Light. What a great stop. We docked, dined, danced and drank. It was a

We’d hailed him four times since entering Boston Harbor. He asked his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend, “Who ARE these people?”

Paul, the experienced captain of Absolutly II, and his new friend Debbie appeared inseparable that Fourth of July on the Charles River years ago.

great night, a great relief, and one heck of a storm.

Early on the 4th, we left for Boston. We had been given explicit directions; there was no way we could miss the Charles River this time. We were again able to raise Paul on the VHF – much to his dismay and, we suppose, to his displeasure. From Boston Harbor, we asked him for directions; from under the Route 95 bridge, we asked him where his boat was in the river; from the locks, we asked him how to get to his boat; and from the Longfellow Bridge, we asked him which side he wanted us to tie up to (this was pre-Nine-Eleven, when we could still tie up to the trees along the river bank near the Esplanade).

We’d hailed him four times since entering Boston Harbor.

He asked his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend, “Who ARE these people?”

What an experience. The fireworks were great, the concert was outstanding, the 1812 Overture led by Keith Lockhart was inspiring, and the cannons were a surprise.

merous boats, including ours.

We met many new friends.

John and Linda’s boat hosted her cousin, a local media personality, who we’ll call Tom. He provided an overabundance of entertainment for all of us that evening, and he has not been invited back to their boat since his “performance.” We had never been in a dinghy, so Paul let us learn how to drive his. Nothing is quite as much fun as learning something new. That year, we were still allowed to dinghy up and down the small waterways adjacent to the Esplanade, and we spent the afternoon in battle with squirt guns and water balloons.

And, somehow, Paul ended up with Debbie.

They spent way too much time among the missing in his dinghy – several hours as we recall. Possibly they went to Methuen to see Frank. They have since returned, and they are still together. I never asked Paul about this, but I’ll bet that the trip back to Newburyport with Dawn (or Dove or Joy) was uncomfortable. He did, however,

need to call us after we returned; he had lost Debbie’s phone number.

But Captain Paul has never asked anyone since that weekend, “Who are these people on the Half Mine?” But he has used Half-a-Mind as the boat’s name on several occasions.

Half Mine returned to Cove Marina, and the trip was uneventful, which was fine with us. We have made seven return trips to the Charles River for July 4th, and every one of them has been an adventure and another story waiting to be written.

Capt. Robert Brown and his wife, Louise, continue their boating adventures out of Cove Marina on the Merrimack River in Salisbury, Mass. In the off-season, they live by the sea, at North Beach in Hampton, N.H. In 2009, his USCG license was upgraded to 100-ton Master. Since then, he has traveled the waterways from Fort Lauderdale to Bar Harbor. Visit Capt. Bob and Mate Louise at www.nauticalchronicles.com.

The MS Lobster Boat Races are set to rev up on Aug. 18, out of The Portland Company, on Fore Street in Portland.

Lobsterboat racing returned to Portland in 2010 and is now one of the premier lobsterboat races on the coast. A speedster to watch in the Gasoline Class is Galen Alley’s Foolish Pleasure, a custom 30-footer powered with an alcohol-fueled Chevrolet engine.

CLAGETT, continued from Page 65 As confirmation of the event’s stature for US sailors, this year The Clagett will determines the four SKUD18 sailors (two teams) to be members of the 2013 US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider. Open to both U.S. and foreign competitors, the clinic and regatta utilize the same equipment chosen for the Paralympic Games: the three-person Sonar, two-person SKUD-18 and the singlehanded 2.4 Metre.

As sailing is one sport that provides a more balanced playing field, both the Sonar and 2.4 Metre classes accept able-bodied sailors to compete in The Clagett.

Having able-bodied sailors in the fleet intensifies the level of competition, which translates to better training opportunities for the Paralympic hopefuls.

The event’s pre-race clinic (Thursday, June 27 ) is run by world champion and Olympic sailors, who share their expertise on boat handling, sail trim, strategy and racing rules. The clinic is followed by racing between Rose and Goat islands Friday through Sunday, June 28-30. Spectators can watch the competition from the western shore of Goat Island.

Briefly Olympic Sailing Program adds expert US Sailing’s Olympic Sailing Program has named New Zealander Mark Littlejohn as a coach of the US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider. Working directly with High Performance director Charlie McKee, he will focus on accentuating the performance plan for sailors campaigning in Olympic singlehanded classes. Littlejohn has spent his career in singlehanded dinghies, both competing and coaching. In the lead-up to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Ga., he served as a full-time training partner to Ben Ainslie (GBR) when he won his first of five medals, a silver medal in the Laser.

In the next Olympics, Littlejohn was a full-time coach to Shirley Robertson (GBR), who won her first of two gold medals in the Europe Dinghy at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. FMI: www.ussailing.org.

Dartmouth Wins Women’s Nationals Dartmouth College, in Hanover, N.H., closed out the Sperry Top-Sider/ICSA Women’s National Championship (May 21-24) on Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, Fla., winning the title they held from the first day of the finals.

Winning the title and the Gerald C. Miller Trophy for Dartmouth was Deirdre Lambert (2015 and Carissa Crawford (2014) in A-division and Chandler Salisbury (2013) and Madilyn Gamble (2013) as well as Kelsey Wheeler (2014) and Lizzie Guynn (2016) in B-division. This is the third time that Dartmouth has won the Sperry ICSA Women’s National Championships, having

won previously in 1992 and 2000.

On the last day, another Northeast crew, Cornell, climbed from 8th to 3rd place, winning the Ann Campbell Trophy. St. Mary’s College of Maryland took 2nd. Other New England college results: Boston College finished 4th, Yale, 6th, Connecticut College 8th, Brown 9th and Roger Williams University 15th.

Deirdre Lambert and Carissa Crawford from Dartmouth won the Madeleine Trophy, awarded to the low-point A-division team.

Western Long Island

Big stripers, blues and weakfish in the mix

By Richard DeMarte For Points East With the waters still cooler than normal due to our breezy, wet, cool spring and early summer, the waters of western Long Island Sound are teaming with volumes of baitfish never before seen. Glass shrimp, spearing, squid and bunker are stacked up in unprecedented numbers, and stripers, bluefish, fluke and weakfish are taking full advantage by gorging themselves every chance they get.

With bunker huddled up in large pods from the New York/Connecticut border out to Rhode Island and beyond, stripers are feeding aggressively at dusk and dawn in the shallows at the mouths of harbors, where bunker congregate overnight. As the bunker move out to deeper waters during the daylight hours, trolling umbrella rigs or bunker spoons at the outer edges of these large pods of bait as well as anchoring up and live-lining or chunking with bunker are producing the most hook-ups.

The action is nothing short of phenomenal, with many fish in the 15- to 25-pound range in the mix. There’ve also been an unprecedented number of 30- to 40-pounders – and even a few 50 pounders – landed as well, so this is shaping up to be a banner year for striper fishing. Conservation-minded fishermen are being especially careful with and releasing many stripers of 25 pounds or more, virtually all of which are females carrying two million eggs or more, and are vital players in the long-term health of this species.

Bluefish, ranging mainly from five to 10 pounds, with

an occasional 12- to 15-pounder, are in full-feeding-mode and are gobbling up just about anything you toss at them. This makes for an especially enjoyable time if you enjoy explosive top-water action as they pounce on surface popper lures like Rapala Skitter-Pops and ScatterRap lures. The best bet for bluefishing this month is to follow pods of bunker and keeping a sharp eye on your fishfinder screen. Launch your lures or bait when the screen lights up with arrowhead-shaped marks, which are most often bluefish schools searching for a meal.

Drifting while bouncing a weighted bucktail tipped with spearing, squid or strips of bunker is the best bet to get into fluke and seabass action. Adding a saltwater fly on a dropper loop, 12 inches above your bucktail, will significantly increase your hit rate. In fact, the bigger fish seem to go after that second hook more often than the bucktail. Fast-flowing, shallow, sandy bottom areas at the mouths of coves and rivers along the entire Connecticut shoreline will produce some nice fluke in the five- to sixpound range as well as some sizable seabass.

One sure indicator of the ever-improving health of these waters is the fact that even the long-absent weakfish have started to make a re-appearance. On a recent outing, I hooked into several weakfish while fishing for stripers and fluke in the fast moving tide of the Mianus River, in Cos Cob, Conn. These tasty fish are a treat for anyone wanting to bring home food for the table. Be sure LI FISH, continued on Page 75

Maine

Voracious bluefin schools, bass, blues, sharks

By Marco Lamothe For Points East Coastal fishing is at its peak this month following a quality spring fishery for striped bass. Bass usually move out of coastal rivers in the early weeks of June as they hunker down on beachfront locales within easy reach of small boaters and surfcasters alike.

Early runs of mackerel promise to continue, and these lively baits will provide the bulk of the forage needed to keep stripers on the feed. In addition to trolling swimmers like Long A Bombers and shallow- and deepdiving Yo-Zuris, successful boat fishermen also turn to 74 Points East July 2013

old standbys like the Saco Bay Tackle or Pete Santini surgical tube lures.

Be aware of hook restrictions for Maine waters. Trebles are allowed on lures (no more than two), and J-hooks are allowed on surgical tubes. Bait your tubes with a fat seaworm for best results. All live baits (herring, mackerel) and dead baits must be used with an in-line circle hook.

A circle hook threaded through the upper lip or nostril of a lively mackerel is my favorite way to tease in beautiful stripers. Expect bluefish to arrive by mid-month.

Last season’s bluefish run was quite impressive in terms MAINE, continued on Page 76 editor@pointseast.com

LI FISH, continued from Page 74 to have the net ready for this species since they have very weak mouths, so trying to lift them onboard may lose you a fish.

Fishermen worldwide who fish crystal-clear waters know the phrase “I see color!” This is called out by all onboard when hooked fish pulled up from the depths are first seen 10 or more feet below the boat. What’s truly amazing is to hear fishermen in western Long Island Sound using this joyous cry, in waters where visibility has for decades been less than three feet.

Today, visibility has improved to eight to 10 feet. It’s clear that the improvement of shoreline water-treatment plants, filtering of water run-offs of fertilizers, and many other conservation efforts to improve water quality in western Long Island Sound is really starting paying off.

Richard has just finished his freshman at Binghamton University, where he’s majoring in biology with a minor in environmental studies (no surprises there). His fishing, boating, birding, photography, environmental activities, and outdoor writing continue “full steam ahead,” so you can count on seeing more of his articles in upcoming issues of Points East. www.pointseast.com

MAINE, continued from Page 74 of numbers and size, we are hoping for a repeat.

Groundfishing is starting to wind down just a bit after the bountiful fishing days of late May and June, but the catch should remain fairly steady throughout the month.

This spring has proved to be a pleasant surprise after a couple of fairly lean years of cod, haddock, and pollock fishing. The numbers have been strong and the average size on all three species has improved, particularly with the haddock we have seen. On my most recent trip, the average haddock caught was over 25 inches long.

For those with the necessary range on their boats, humps like Jeffreys Ledge off York, Tantas Ledge in front of the Saco River, and West Cod Ledge near the entrance to Casco Bay, will all produce this month. Cod and pollock generally prefer classic cod jigs (10- to 16-ounce) with an Amazing Worm or a cod fly for a teaser.

When fishing for haddock I prefer half-cooked shrimp, clams, or Gulp! Sand Worms on a high/low rig such as the cod or haddock rigs sold by Sea Wolfe Tackle. Simply place a 12- or 16-ounce sinker at the bottom. High-speed reels and braided micro-lines are not a requirement, but they sure do increase your hook-up rates – and the speed of landing fish in 200-plus feet of water.

Expect bluefish to arrive by mid-July.

Look for the latter part of July to see an influx of blue sharks, along with lesser numbers of porbeagles and makos, the latter perhaps the most exciting member of

the coastal Maine shark family. Thirty- to 50-class outfits, a few steel leaders and hooks, some wire snips, a shark float or balloons, and a five gallon pail of chum is all that is needed to get into this New England fishery.

The catching is as steady as any in Gulf of Maine waters.

Once the shark is finally by the boat, simply take a photo, snip the leader, and get back to pursuing another of these hard fighters – which average in the hundreds of pounds.

The excitement of seeing 100- to 400-pound sharks swimming around your boat is unforgettable.

Bluefin tuna fishing is alive and well in the near coastal waters of southern Maine. The tuna fleet frequents areas near the mouth of the Saco River, north of Casco Bay, down by Jeffreys Ledge, and almost anywhere along our south coast. By early in July, Maine tuna fishermen are likely to run into schools of busting tuna.

Early in the month, most fishermen will troll for these giants with dredges, squid bars, daisy chains, and a variety of other artificial lures. As the month comes to a

close, expect to see more and more tuna fishermen anchored up on known locations, with a whiting, herring or mackerel drifting down-current.

Many tuna in our fishing locale are caught within three to five miles of shore. This fishery is not for those who lack patience or the gear to stop a frantic 500-pound bluefin. Charters are available throughout the southern Maine coast. Get out and fish!

Capt. Marc “Marco” Lamothe has lived in coastal Maine throughout his 51 years. During the summer months Marco can be found cruising the waters of Saco Bay in his 21-foot deep-vee Alcar near the resort town of Old Orchard Beach, Maine, trolling and casting for striped bass and bluefish, jigging for cod and haddock, or taking a shot at late-summer sharks or bluefins. The winter months find Marco teaching 5th grade in Berwick, Maine. His charter business, Keeper Charters, can be found on the web at keeper-charters.com.

Rhode Island

July should bring shark, tuna and marlin reports

By Elisa Jackman For Points East Finally school is out and the fishing is in full swing.

It felt like “summer� was never going to happen. Anglers are enjoying the awesome inshore fishing, and the offshore opportunities are becoming more plentiful.

The 18-inch legal limit for summer flounder this year is allowing more keeper fluke catches. Dave Boisse and Max Sherman have landed well over 18inc fish weighing 8.3 and 8.36 pounds, respectively. Boisse has been fishing the south side of Block Island. The west side and also Clay Head are also great Block Island locations to try.

Anglers fishing the south shore have been frequenting the Ferry Lane outside the Harbor of Refuge, Nebraska Shoals, and Matunuck. Depths have varied this year, but keep in mind that as water temperatures increase, deeper water is usually better.

Back-pond striped bass fishing has been the most consistent, with mostly smaller fish but an occasional keeper mixed in. Small swimming plugs, silver shinny

lures, and plastics have all been effective. Larger fish catches are coming from the south shore’s Point Judith Light, Deep Hole, Green Hill, and, of course, the North Rip and Southwest Ledge of Block Island. Day-troll with wire and tube and worm or umbrella and night eel fishing are most productive.

Surf anglers fishing Narragansett and Matunuck are also having great luck. Rich Reich of Narragansett landed a 51-pounder from the surf the latter part of May. Scup and seabass fishing is great fishing fun for families with children. Be sure to try the rocky bottom areas outside the Center Wall of the Harbor of Refuge to the Hooter Buoy. Please remember new seabass regulations for 2013 are three fish per angler, 13 inches, June 15-Aug 31; starting Sept. 1, anglers can keep seven fish per person until Dec. 31, 2013.

Offshore shark fishing is improving every day. Makos, blues and threshers generally move from the eastern locations like Jenny’s and Ryan’s Horns to the Gully, Suffix and Mud Hole. Be sure to obtain your Highly Migratory Species Permit from the National Marine Fisheries Service (https://hmspermits.noaa.gov) before shark or tuna fishing.

Hopefully, July brings canyon fish reports. Anglers patiently wait for the warm-water eddies to break off the Gulf Stream to trigger some awesome yellowfin, big-eye, mahi and marlin fishing. Only time will tell, so be sure to check with your local tackle shop for up to date reports.

Boats you can depend on!

Maritime boats feature a unique hull design that has all the sea-keeping features of offshore fishing boats but operates efficiently with low to moderate sized engines.The result is a fuel efficient, dry riding, seaworthy, “unsinkable” boat that delivers outstanding performance.

Rhode Island Boat Show finds new model for reaching buyers The Rhode Island Boat Show, held May 4-5 in five venues throughout the state, drew 52 exhibitors and hundreds of boating enthusiasts to the Ocean State waterfronts. Venues were Bristol: Bristol Marine & Fleet Yacht Sales; Jamestown: Conanicut Marine Services and Latitude Yacht Brokerage; Middletown: West Marine; Wakefield: Silver Spring Marine; Warwick: Marinemax and Brewer Greenwich Bay Marina.

Organizers focused on a set of simple goals when staging this year’s event: Make it low cost and easy for exhibitors to get to; make it free for consumers; include on-the-water opportunities for those who wanted them; use low-cost communication such as the website and Facebook; and draw people to waterfront venues to showcase the boating lifestyle.

Sailing classes were run in three venues by Narragansett Sailing. Confident Captain worked with Discover

Boating – a nonprofit awareness program run on behalf of the North American recreational boating industry – to run a series of powerboat clinics and seminars at the Warwick venue, which sold out. Sessions were geared to such skills as docking, anchoring, open-water boat handling, close-quarters maneuvering, and even an introduction to the Rules of the Road.

“The set of goals we had for this year’s event worked together beautifully,” said Wendy Mackie, CEO of the Rhode Island Marine Trades Association (RIMTA), which endorses the show. “Many companies are learning how to use this event to connect with their clientele–to spend time with them and to build that critical relationship with customers that is the heart of our business.”

Today, several Greenline sizes are built, including the 33, 40, 46, 57 and 70. The Hybrid drive – with solar roof and lithium batteries – plus the easily driven hull and advanced infusion technology for significant weight savings equate to an “environmentally friendly” experience on the water, Russo says.

JOCK WILLIAMS, Founder and President: Jock has been around boats all his life, first as a teenager growing up on Martha’s Vineyard, working summers in a marine store, running a fuel dock, operating a launch service, and learning to be a rigger. At fifteen, he bought his first sailboat and was soon an avid participant in local day races and, a little later, ocean racing. His sea time included; skippering a contender in the Bermuda Race, crewing in six additional Bermuda Races, competing in two transatlantic races and almost every major ocean race in the Northeast. He served as a Naval Officer charting the South China Sea for vessels in the Vietnam War and later as the varsity sailing coach at the U.S. Naval Academy Sailing Office in Annapolis. After discharge, he spent a year as a wooden boat-building apprentice in Denmark, followed by fiberglass production manager at the Hinckley Company. A few years later, Jock struck out on his own, to establish the John Williams Boat Company. With a background in traditional wooden boat-building and a full understanding of the advantages of fiberglass hull construction, his boats naturally incorporate the best of both.

We build the Somes Sound 26, Stanley 28, 36, 38, 39, 42, and 44 and the Williams 28 Bass Boat.

We are a full-service boat yard with just over twenty employees, who take a very personal interest in every project, no matter the size or scope, fulfilling our client’s very specific requests. We also offer boat brokerage services.

“It has been a pleasure to advertise in and distribute Points East over the years. We very much look forward to our customer's arrival each summer and know that they appreciate having Points East available in the office for them as they pick up their boat. Please feel free to stop by if you make it to Somes Sound this summer, we would love to show you around!”

The Leight's new dinghy takes to a beach on Halls Island in Maine's Muscongus Bay.

Dinghy dreams f there’s one near-universal trait among sailors, it’s that we’re inveterate tinkerers. Improving, tweaking, and upgrading various boat systems – whether they actually need it or not – is a way of life. A good deal of my messing about in this regard has had to do with dinghies, of which I’ve built five in my search for an ideal tender for the Leight.

I wanted a light and nimble skiff that rowed and towed well, looked good, could carry 500 pounds, take rocky landings without complaint, and be economical to build and maintain. My first dinghy, an inflatable that came with the sloop, was a slug in most such regards. I decided to build a dinghy. It couldn’t be that complicated.

Casting about for designs, I came under the influence of Phil Bolger’s stitch-and-glue, plywood construction method, a perfect choice for one whose woodworking experience was limited to building a shelf in a 7th-grade shop class.

My first home-built dinghy was an eight-foot long Ruben’s Nymph, which was stable, cheap, and could

I

104 Points East July 2013

carry a cow, but the pram-bowed design dug in its heels under tow. When we cruised to Nova Scotia, the froth of whitewater always churning away under its bow sounded like a breaking wave was about to overtake us.

Next, I built a narrower, lighter version of the same design, but it proved tippy and towed little better, so I burned it.

I wanted a skiff with a certain sweetness of line. I’m not sure why the art of it was important, but that something pleasing to the eye made me feel better about my work and met the oldest of engineering benchmarks – that if a design looks good, it probably is.

Stitch and glue boatbuilding is simple. Bottom and topside panels are wired together over frames, then joined with fiberglass tape inside and out. Though something of a hacker, thanks to epoxy fairing compounds, I managed to gloss over a multitude of minor sins. Adequate was, well, perfectly satisfactory.

Without design skills of any sort to temper my enthusiasm, I drew out dinghy number three, a 10-foot-long, editor@pointseast.com

David Buckman sails out of Round Pond, Maine. His book, “Bucking the Tide,” is about discovering the New England and Fundy coast in a $400 sloop, about which the less the Coast Guard knew, the better. The book is available at www.eastworkspublications.com. www.pointseast.com

pointy bowed skiff built of 4mm okume plywood. It came out better than I had any right to expect, though I imagined various improvements even before it was completed. The bow was perfect, but the stern too fine, and it needed more freeboard.

A few years later, I carried freeboard too far on dingy number four. It towed and rowed pretty well, but proportions are everything, and it didn’t sing. Then a tree branch fell on it while stored in the backyard for the winter, which might have been a sign.

After that I went back to dingy number three, adding a strake to increase its freeboard, which worked out very well. It weighed just under 80 pounds, which is light by production standards, but I imagined various improvements that would offer even less resistance under tow.

Dinghy number five came to life in my basement workshop this past winter. At nine feet in length, it had a few inches more beam in the stern quarters than her predecessors, a flat run and fine entry. The bare hull weighs 53 pounds, and with oars, life jacket, bailer, and air bag, tips the scale at 67 pounds.

I’m pleased. She’s light on her feet and offers notably less towing resistance than earlier designs. She rows better, too. An outboard motor would be a rude intrusion on a craft that springs to the sweep of her long spruce oars so willingly. And why would anyone want to avoid one of the few health-enhancing physical activities native to cruising, to say nothing about the sweet silence of it?

I’m getting closer to an optimal dinghy for the Leight, but even before the latest issue was launched, I was thinking about a few minor improvements for number six.

The Waterlilies (and perhaps some Bullfrogs), Quissett Yacht Club’s over-40 sailing program, donned Waterlily shirts for a group shot. The author is third from the left on the first step.

On becoming a Waterlily ot all adult sailors are fortunate enough to sail on the waters where they learned to sail as children. However, generations of families have sailed at Quissett Yacht Club (QYC) in Falmouth (Woods Hole), Mass. As young children, they were enrolled in the sailing program, as teens, they raced for the club or taught the younger kids, and, now grown, sail and race with adults they have known all their lives. Their children and grandchildren repeat the cycle.

Of course, new members give any club new life and continued growth. But what if spouses of the members of a yacht club lack strong sailing skills, or simply don’t know enough about the sport to get the most enjoyment from it? At QYC, that problem is solved with the “Waterlilies” and the “Bullfrogs” programs – adult sailing lessons for club members over 40 years of age needing a bit of guidance at the helm.

The lessons pair one over-40, experienced, volunteer, club helmswomen (or helmsmen) with two less-experi-

enced or novice club sailors. The Waterlilies – for the ladies – and Bullfrogs – for the men – learn to be better sailors in club members’ boats, most of which are the Herreshoff 12 ½s.

For years my husband and I belonged to the club, but our involvement was limited. Tying the dinghy to the dink dock was about the extent of our participation in the club. From there, we made our way out to the harbor to our sailboat on her mooring. This did not, however, make us sterling members, and, in fact, we only knew only a handful of members. When my husband, a competent sailor, and I purchased a 25-foot sloop, it quickly became apparent that my sailing skills were rusty. He tactfully suggested that I might investigate becoming a Waterlily. With a few phone calls and a modest program fee, I was “in.”

Waterlilies meet on Quissett Harbor from 10 to 12 a.m. every Friday during July and August. We were encouraged to bring a sandwich for an after-sailing alfresco editor@pointseast.com

luncheon and the opportunity to chat with fellow Waterlilies. The first appointed Friday of my first season, it rained, and there were no lessons that day. I was disappointed. The next Friday dawned bright and rosy, and I was as nervous as any new camper going into a new experience. Would I learn anything? Would I damage someone’s boat? Would I like these ladies? Would they like me?

Perhaps 30 ladies were gathered on the club’s lawn, most wearing last season’s QYC Waterlily embroideredlogo polo shirt. We ranged in age from 40 to 70. There were also several gentlemen instructors and ferrymen.

Before introductions and boat assignments were made, we all milled about chatting. “Why have you become a Waterlily?” I was asked. “Well, I know how to sail, but I am uncertain of myself. I’ve never had any onboard lessons. And when I sail with my husband, he often yells at me.”

One of the more mature Waterlilies put her hand on my arm and said, “Oh, Dearie, they all yell at us.” This alone made me feel much better. It was not just my spouse who yelled, but now I imagined all husbands yelling at their less-competent, shipboard wives – for improper trimming, delayed responses, or no response at all. At the very least, I’d found kindred spirits.

Before long, two of us were assigned to sail with a seasoned Waterlily helmswoman (who most likely had learned to sail at QYC) in her sailboat. We boarded boats named Tag Along, Muffin, Found It, Sea Breeze – all Herreshoff 12 1/2s, the classic daysailer designed by Nathanael Herreshoff in 1914 to help children learn to sail the waters of Buzzards Bay. They are wonderful boats to sail – easy to handle, very stable, and so beautiful with their well-varnished trim. On board, we learned to name the parts of the boat and how to hoist and trim the sails. We cast and set off in the harbor toward Buzzards Bay. We learned to look about – the sky, the clouds – to note where the wind blew on land and to feel it on our faces.

We noted the cat’s paws on the water ahead, what to anticipate and how we could potentially react. Between words of encouragement and instruction, we also had the opportunity for conversation.

The two novice sailors took turns at the tiller, our Waterlily helmswoman putting us to the test. The inner harbor became our obstacle course. “Sail aft of that blue sloop, leave the white powerboat to starboard, and then come about and grab that empty mooring pennant,” our instructor would command.

I did it! No damage done to any of the boats. But just when I would feel some accomplishment and think I could relax and enjoy this sail, she would throw the spare cushion over the side and yell, “Man Overboard”!

Those “tests” complete, we made it out of the harbor and into Buzzards Bay. There is often quite a breeze and a bit of a chop there, and we got wet. With tutelage and www.pointseast.com

practice, we learned to take the waves at a more advantageous angle. It’s all in knowing how. Before long, it was time to return to the mooring. Often, that meant the downwind leg. All the boats looked so pretty, coming back with their sails out and their threesomes of Waterlilies.

Each novice Waterlily had shared the helm for about an hour – sailing all the points of sail, including, rather unsuccessfully, sailing into the wind. We’d also come to realize that “pinching” is not all that efficient. We’d practiced coming about, jibing, and man-overboard drills.

Returning to the boat’s mooring, we often needed more than just the guidance of the more-experienced Waterlily. Quissett Harbor is tightly packed with boats at their moorings, and maneuvering to catch the mooring ball was, for now, best left to our more- experienced helmswoman. Once back on the dock, it was time for lunch and conversation. “See you next week,” we call to one another. The next Friday, it’s a different combination of Waterlilies and a different boat. Instruction and conversation varies with each grouping.

The Friday mornings of summer pass by all too quickly. Friends have been made – they did like me, and I liked them. My husband and I are now real members of the club because we know people. And I have learned much about sailing, the water, the weather, and Herreshoffs. I’ve learned about generations of Quissett Yacht Club sailors coming together through a shared love of sailing.

I sailed as a Waterlily for four seasons. Not only did I gain confidence in sailing, I loved the whole experience.

And, my husband no longer yells at me, though while I’m at the helm, he often makes what he calls “helpful suggestions.” With my newfound confidence, I am free to ignore them. Mission accomplished.

And what of the Bullfrogs? They are fellows whose spouses may be the better sailors, or who look to improve their seamanship. (I wonder if their wives yell at them on the water, as husbands are apt to do.) The Bullfrog program operates as the Waterlilies - three sailors in a Herreshoff, one more-experienced helmsman to two of lesser skills. They sail in the late afternoons on Friday.

There are certainly not as many Bullfrogs as there are Waterlilies, and I don’t know all the specifics of the Bullfrog program. However, I suspect they develop many of the same onboard skills as the Waterlilies - become better sailors, grow in their fondness for time on the water and find fellowship through the yarns of the crew.

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

She is a member of both the Quissett and Cottage Park yacht clubs. Toujours and her crew have spent years cruising the waters between Narragansett Bay to the Gulf of Maine. Marilyn hopes the 2013 sailing season finds her not only in Buzzards and Massachusetts Bays, but also venturing west into Long Island Sound.

You’re invited to Wyeths by Water, Port Clyde.

Wyeths by Water is a new treat for you as you cruise the Maine coast, and is exclusive to Port Clyde.

Grab a mooring and start with breakfast at our new Port Kitchen in the General Store or a lobster roll for lunch at the Dip Net. Then climb aboard the Linderin Losh for Wyeths by Water. Captain Dennis Leight will take you by the sites of emotionally powerful paintings by Andrew Wyeth and Jamie Wyeth, and show you how N.C. Wyeth incorporated Port Clyde area images into classic book illustrations, American school textbooks, and Coca-Cola ads.

ITINERARY #1: PORT CLYDE & THE SAINT GEORGE RIVER See the Olson House from the water, the exact orientation of Andrew Wyeth’s Christina’s World (MOMA, New York).

Wyeths by Water: see it for yourself!

ITINERARY #2: OUTLYING ISLANDS See Island Funeral (Hotel Dupont, Wilmington), and Black Spruce Ledge (shown here), both by NC Wyeth. Allen and Benner Islands beckon us to Betsy James Wyeth’s world as featured in Architectural Digest (June & July 2003).

ITINERARY #3: CANNIBAL SHORE A journey past Roaring Spout, by Forest Gump’s Marshall Point Lighthouse, up to Southern Island Lighthouse, owned

by Jamie Wyeth and previously by his parents Betsy and Andrew Wyeth. A beach cookout near my Tenants Harbor lobster buying wharf can be added to this tour by appointment.

Limited edition and signed Wyeth art prints are available at the gallery in The Store Upstairs (over the Port Clyde General Store).

Have a great summer, and see you in Port Clyde!

N.C.Wyeth, Black Spruce Ledge (“Time and Tide”), 1941, egg tempera
