EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Mar sh Clockwise from right: Walmart behemoth, 16-foot FIPOFIX, five-foot "mini boat," 105-foot sportfisherman, PlanetSolar.

The greatest show on H2O hat blip on the horizon slowly morphs into something that isn’t quite right in dimension and perspective. A trick of the sensory processes, perhaps, or a spacial-relationship anomaly? As you close on it, you see that you are looking at something special. You ease over to check it out, and what you see blows you away. Isn’t this one of the great joys of boating? Just checking things out? Spotting something in the distance that wasn’t there before, a sight that is outside the usual realm of your boating experiences, something that doesn’t immediately compute. This summer, the parade of waterborne spectacles to trigger the imagination will be endless. You may be surprised by one of Dick Baldwin’s/Educational Passages’ five-foot “mini boats,” which are plying the North Atlantic, powered by the wind and rigged with satellite tracking devices (www.educationalpassages.org). You also might be overwhelmed by the largest floating structure ever built, the 1,601-foot, 600,000-ton (six times the weight of the largest aircraft carrier) Shell Prelude floating liquefied natural gas facility (www.shell.com) that will allow Shell to access the world’s offshore gas fields. You’ll be flabbergasted if you come across the 102foot MS Turanor PlanetSolar, the world’s largest, solar-powered vessel (www.planetsolar.org). PlanetSolar logged a 22-day transatlantic crossing, while studying climate change, breaking its own solar-boat record for the route.

www.pointseast.com

Boy, I’d like to raise the world’s largest high-performance sportfishing boat, the 105-foot Marlena, with a top-end of 45, built by Jim Smith Tournament Boats of Stuart, Fla. (www.jimsmithboats.net). From her lines, I’d think she was a 40-footer, about five minutes away, but it’d take me a half-hour to reach her. And when I did, I’d know why it took 31 months to build her and why she can carry over 30 people. In the future, you might encounter the Vindskip (Windship), designed by Norway’s Lade AS to be “a partly wind-powered hybrid merchant ship.” Lade AS plans to use a hull described as a “symmetrical airfoil” to harness the power of the wind. You’ll have to cruise in the Pacific to see one of the 1,302-foot Walmart container ships: With their 207foot beams, they won’t fit through the Panama Canal. They were commissioned by Walmart to import goods from China to California at a speed of 31 knots, powered by a 14-cylinder 110,000-horse engine. And if you spy what appears to be an incandescentyellow Open 60 in the distance, retractable sprit and all, it just may just be Austrian Norbert Sedlacek’s 16foot boat FIPOFIX, on which his brother Harald is attempting an Atlantic Circle (www.norbertsedlacek.at). He sailed from France to Palm Beach, Fla. in 87 days, a record for a 16-foot boat. Now really, could not such spectacles, viewed from the decks of our own vessels, rightly be called The Greatest Show on H2O?

Points East June 2014

Letters Spring note from Marston’s Marina We were almost beat! The Saco River was raging. More water rushing down past our place then we have seen in years. Our plan was to launch the main docks, but the current was not to be messed with so we backed off and found plenty of work on shore. There was no low tide. At least we never saw the muddy bottom because the river was so filled with run-off. After many years of coexisting with the river, we have learned when to push and when to wait. This was a morning to be very patient. When the tide turned, the water calmed somewhat, enough so we felt encouraged and went for it. By the end of the day, we had launched all the main docks and had them secured to anchors. Whether you’re sailing or rowing or putting a marina together, having a good crew makes all the difference. Todd, Jeremy and Nate did it all despite some pretty rugged conditions. We owe them a debt of gratitude as well as some overtime pay. People who work on the water know you got to get’er done when conditions are favorable. You’ve heard me say this before, but I love spring. Putting our little marina together, feeling the warmth of the April sun, welcoming back old customers and getting to meet new ones, buoys our spirits. A few more weekends like this past one and we’ll be in great shape for early fishing and summer boating. Looking forward to having the next issue of Points East delivered to our office. Randy Randall Marston’s Marina Saco, Maine

Is it Meshantum or Meshantam? Thank you for Bill Hezlep’s article on the Cape Cod Canal Centennial (“Happy Birthday,” May 2014), and 6

Points East June 2014

especially for some details that I hadn’t known about my kinsman, Dr. Sam Crowell, and his boat. The kinship is this: My great-aunt Helen Josselyn married the doctor’s son, Sam Jr., and they cruised the New England coast for many years in a series of boats named Mashantam, or Mashantum, and thereby hangs a question for the author. Sam 3rd, classically nicknamed “Tertius,” never sailed as far as I know, so I felt I could properly name my boat likewise. I found the original name in Lloyd’s Register of American Yachts for 1916, where it is spelled Mashantam, and I took that as authoritative. The cited issue of the “Yarmouth Register” uses that spelling, which I see was changed to Mashantum where quoted in your article. In Dennis, we have a road and a tennis club named Mashantum, but a plaque at a Nobscussett burial ground refers to the sagamore as Mashantampaigne. So notwithstanding “The Rudder’s” spelling (they also render Stirling as Sterling), I’ve consistently said that the Mashantum spelling is an error made by people who remember too much Latin and not enough Wampanoag. Seeing that your article refers to the vessel’s log book, which I haven’t seen but would surely like to, I’d like to ask Mr. Hezlep whether that book settles the spelling question in the doctor’s handwriting. That would be the ultimate primary source. My cruising sailboat, Mashantam, a 1973 Vindo 50square-meter sloop (35 feet LOA), will be celebrating the centennial by re-enacting that first toll payment on July 29, at the Mass. Maritime Academy pier, with the kind permission of Admiral Gurnon. The boat will fly a large ensign celebrating this year’s centennial of the United States Power Squadrons, and will be decorated with banners used in parades by the Cape Cod Sail and Power Squadron to remind people of our public service activities in boating education and vessel safety checks. Thus arrayed, I’ll cruise the length of the canal’s land-cut with the morning’s fair easterly current, and back with the midday westerly. I’ll tie up at MMA around 1:30, and we’ll do the re-enactment, giving people time to proceed to the ceremonies on the MMA campus at 2 p.m. I have a number of other comments on the big sidebar, but I figure I’ve used up my allocation of columninches. Hugh Blair-Smith Dennis, Mass. editor@pointseast.com

Pete Corson and PE finally meet

Dear editors and cruising friends

It’s amazing! I’ve bummed around the water all of my life, early on as a sternman and lobsterman out of Peaks Island. Following was 24 years in the Coast Guard, rising from seaman recruit to commander: seven ships, and in command of three. The last was the cutter Active out of Newcastle. The Smiths at Wentworth hosted my retirement reception. I’m a long time member of Portsmouth Yacht Club, and a past commodore as well as a long-time member of the Propeller Club. My wife and I sailed our Pearson Vanguard over 25,000 miles before we sold it a few years ago, and I’ve logged at least the same as a delivery captain. I held a 500-ton master of power and 100ton auxiliary sail license until I recently let it expire, and I was interim master of Herb Smith’s Appledore III out of Rockport for five years. While in the Active, I had the pleasant duty of escorting the fleet in the Marblehead to Halifax race, and swore to myself that some day I’d do it in my own boat. In 1995 I did. What’s amazing is that I had never heard of Points East magazine. At Dock In at PYC, I picked up a copy. I’ve missed a lot, but won’t anymore. Your magazine eclipses all of them. Pete Corson Hampton, N.H.

As most of you know, after working with Jack [Dozier] as a cruising editor for a few years, he asked me to come onboard 18 months ago to refocus the technical content of the guides, and, with your help, we have done that. In a recent side-by-side test, “Practical Sailor” ran the length of the ICW using our ICW and Southern Guides as well as guides from all of our competitors. The Dozier Waterway Guides were named the “Best Choice” for general cruising guides. Much of the credit goes to you. I thank you. Now please keep it up. It has been a pleasure working with you over the past 16 months here at “Waterway Guide.” What finer way to wrap up a career messing about in boats than to spend a year working with like-minded cruisers, sharing the knowledge and experiences of exploring our waterways. Thank you all for your input and help. Tomorrow, Cristina and I will start full-time cruising. We plan to spend this summer here on Chesapeake Bay (where I continue as a cruising editor), and then go some place warmer next winter. We look forward to seeing you out there on the waterways. Our boat is a Mariner Seville Pilothouse named Tadhana (means “Destiny” in Tagalog*). She is the only vessel of that name in the entire AIS registry. Keep an eye out for us. I am not sure if I will continue to use the “Waterway Guide” email address, so please feel free to contact me at my personal email, sailhale@gmail.com. Fair winds and following seas! Tom Hale s/v Tadhana In transit *Editors note: One of the joys of editing a boating magazine is that, like cruising, you never know what you are going to encounter around the next bend – or, in this case, in the next email message. “Tagalog” is a term we had never chanced upon, so we looked it up in our “Random House Webster’s Dictionary,” whose two definitions were: “1. a member of a people of the Philippines, living mainly in central and SW Luzon. 2. the Austronesion language of the Tagalogs.” So many words . . . so little time.

From the editors of CCA’s ‘Voyages’ We’ve just seen your glowing editorial about the CCA and our “Voyages” magazine in the May issue of Points East. We are highly honored that you had so many nice things to say about the magazine itself and, of course, about the club. “Voyages” has been a labor of love over the past four years, and there are times when we ask ourselves why we do this to ourselves. Thank you for providing the answer. It had been awhile since we had read Points East, and we are highly impressed with your editorial content and the attractive look of the magazine. We particularly enjoyed the story about the Cape Cod Canal (“Happy Birthday” by Bill Hezlep, May 2014). Someone really did his homework. Doug & Dale Bruce Cruising Club of America

Selkie crew is still in the game! Please pass along kudos to Ken Packie for his entertaining piece (“A Shakedown for Selkie”) about the Alden 45 Selkie, which appears in the May issue. The Packies and Cambridges are old acquaintances of mine, and it’s good to see them still very actively in the game. Dann Lockwood Hinckley Yacht Services Portsmouth, R.I.

For us, it was a safe harbor on the way to Monhegan Ah yes, Port Clyde. I have stopped in there a couple times when I have been able to sail that far Downeast. Most memorable was a trip out of Freeport on my Hunter 23.5 Grasshopper.

MYSTERY HARBOR continued from Page 8 weather did not cooperate, and so we spent the night at Hog Island as huge thunderstorms passed overhead. By then, we needed supplies, so we snaked through Friendship Harbor, around Caldwell Island, and carefully past Hupper Point through the rather shallow back channel into Port Clyde. This is where the mailboat leaves for Monhegan and is a known hang-out for the Wyeth family and, in the past, for Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper among others. Many of their works portray homes and islands around here. Carry a book of their work as you visit here, and you can see the locations and see how the art portrays them. We walked over to Marshall Point to visit the lighthouse there, also famous for its brief role in the movie “Forrest Gump.” Port Clyde is well-sheltered, and while there is some room to anchor, it is best to ask around for an unused mooring. There is a town dock to the left of the store for dinghy tie-up. If you visit Port Clyde by land, parking can be a big challenge. We grabbed sandwiches and ice from the general store on the harbor’s edge which has everything from lobster rolls to nails. They also have a nice deck out back for enjoying your lobster. We didn’t have enough daylight to make Monhegan, so we sailed out to Allen Island, just off Port Clyde.

The Wyeth family founded a program here to study how islands can be economically sustainable without development, and they raise sheep here. We anchored in a little cove on the north end of Benner Island, and rowed ashore. You have to be careful of the rams here. They can be aggressive, but we got some good exercise running back to the beach. That evening, we enjoyed the most incredible sunset, with the entire sky and water bright-red and orange. The next morning, at long last, it looked like the southwest wind would lighten enough for us to get some sleep in Monhegan Harbor, so we set out between Allen and Benner, looking forward to our next adventure there. Chris Lippincott Portsmouth, N.H.

Visit the Port Clyde General Store It’s Port Clyde, Maine, and it’s easily entered from the inside passages from the surrounding islands. The harbor is open to the south and can have a roll if it’s rough outside. There is a large commercial fleet here. The Port Clyde General Store has moorings scattered about the harbor. A local told me that the west side of the harbor generally has less roll than other spots. The store has provisions and a restaurant out-

side on the deck. It really is a general store, with all kinds of supplies and hardware. A channel in between Hooper Island and Hooper Point has been established and well-buoyed. This is easier to navigate than the passage around Raspberry Island. Those going to the harbors on the St. George River and the upper portions of Muscongus Bay will appreciate the short cut. Port Clyde is a good stop for just provisions and a break or if staying for the night. Andy Marvin Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Great stop for cruisers, but . . . The mystery harbor in the May issue is Port Clyde, Maine. The picture was taken from the Hupper Island side of the harbor. It clearly shows the Port Cldye General Store and restaurant, a great stop for cruisers. I have stopped there on many occasions, even though the rollers can come sweeping in at times in certain

conditions. When these conditions are present, I simply continue up the St. George River a few miles to Maple Juice Cove, one of the best anchorages in Midcoast Maine. The Port Clyde General Store is filled with staples for the crew, and lots of goodies that are welcomed after a long cruise. The store also controls the mooring field, and transient moorings can be obtained and paid for there. The restaurant, which serves fresh seafood in the rough, can be crowded if the ferry has just come in. There is a fuel dock there also, but it can be tricky for sailboats to access if the current is running strongly. Port Clyde is a very interesting place to stop and visit.

It’s a good place for provisioning

Dip Net’s awning was a big clue

I am sure I am not the first to identify the May Mystery Harbor as Port Clyde. The Port Clyde General Store, the Dip Net restaurant, the Monhegan Ferry dock all are dead giveaways. Port Clyde is right around the corner from us in Cushing, Maine, and it’s the go-to place for fuel, water and supplies for the start of any sailing cruise for us. The store is well-supplied, and what could be better than eating lunch on the dock on a beautiful sunny day? Port Clyde is also home to a working fishing fleet – both lobster fishermen and big trawlers. The trawlers offer the Port Clyde Fresh Fish CSF, which is a program for fish that is similar to CSA programs with farmers: You can receive fresh fish on a weekly basis. The Port Clyde passageway, at the mouth of the southern entrance to the harbor, can be tricky if you don’t pay attention to your charts. We’ve seen three boats go up on a ledge next to the green can (No. 7, I believe), thinking that the green should be kept on the port side entering a harbor. The problem is that the harbor buoys don’t start until you are abreast of the red nun (No. 2) near the lighthouse heading in toward the harbor. It’s a great harbor to have in our “backyard.” Jane Davin Boxford, Mass. & Cushing, Maine

I believe that it is Port Clyde, with the General Store in green and the awning of the Dip Net Restaurant awning. Behind the green boat is the boat dock for the Monhegan ferry Elizabeth Ann. The harbor is about 18 miles from my mooring in Linekin Bay and a convenient stop at the beginning of a cruise Downeast. Port Clyde is an interesting, busy working harbor. Tenants Harbor has much better protection. Port Clyde is a bit too open from the southwest, and not the best place if its windy from that direction. The general store is well supplied, and the Dip Net has excellent food. The General Store has good rental moorings, with showers included in the fee. Nat Wing East Boothbay, Maine

The best halibut steak in town This is Port Clyde, where I purchased the best halibut steak at the General Store. The General Store is one of our favorites. Elaine Parent Lee, N.H.

editor@pointseast.com

Port Clyde is a wonderful town Thanks Points East for the picture of one of our favorite spots, Port Clyde, Maine. We live in Maine and have the pick of the litter, but we think Port Clyde is such a wonderful town. We sail out of Rockport, and most years head Downeast, but for the past few years we’ve really enjoyed Muscongus Bay and points south. We still have youngsters aboard, so stopping at Port Clyde for ice cream or dinner at the Dip Net Restaurant is one of summer’s high points. Linda Bean’s group operates the wonderful Port Clyde General Store, visible in shades of green in the picture with the Dip Net’s yellow awning out front. The store, as vintage as ever, and has plenty of supplies and fresh groceries for the cruiser. A walk up the hill and around to Marshall Point brings you to a very beautiful and accessible lighthouse, which, by the way, still does its job and provides a good reference on a foggy Maine night. We had a great night sail from Rockport to Matinicus last August, hearing whales calling off Matinicus after midnight. We finally decided to round up and make for Port Clyde to get some rest, before heading to Sebasco, another great stop for families. At Port Clyde, you can pick up moorings labeled PCGS and pay for them at the store in the morning, which we did after our arrival around 0230 hours. I think you can still anchor outside, but at 0230 I’ll pay

the few bucks and leave the anchoring drama for another night. I hope I’m first to pick it out. My limited haberdashery would be greatly enhanced by a nifty new Points East hat; it would be just the thing for varnish season. Chris Finn Hope, Maine

An interesting March/April answer The March/April 2014 mystery harbor is the narrows on the upper Wareham River. I know this because my 32-foot Pearson Vanguard Saoirse is moored in a slip right in front of the Nantucket lightship, pictured in the photo. Since this is a winter photo my boat is in dry dock on the left-hand side of the photo, at Cape Cod Shipbuilding. The slips in front of the Nantucket are at the British Landing Condominiums and Marina, which has a 10-foot depth and alltide access to Buzzards Bay. My brothers and I have

moored our boat there for 10 years. The Nantucket Light vessel has been there even longer, and adds a dramatic touch to the waterfront and downtown Wareham. Jim & Paul Collins Wareham, Mass.

Capt. Brenda knows Port Clyde It took me a minute because we don’t get down that way very often, but that tell-tale yellow awning gave

it away. That’s Port Clyde! That’s the Port Clyde General Store in the middle with the Dip Net Restaurant next door for locals and visitors alike to enjoy wharfside dining under the awning.

Perspectives Are you a Bligh or a Fletcher Christian? ften we hear (and read) that old Captain William Bligh was a really bad guy. But what chance did Blighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation have when, 146 years later, Hollywood cast Charles Laughton to play him as the heavy in its film of the great mutiny, portraying Bligh as an ugly, raving, sadistic seafaring monster. And then casting handsome, heroic Clark Gable as the lead mutineer. Honestly! I always thought what Captain Bligh really needed was a good PR man. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken the job. First, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m calling him Captain Will. Nice name. Names are important. Being addressed by our first name is more inclusive and, well, it just makes us feel better. Second, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget that Captain Will did have a mission and a ship to run. The 18th-century Royal Navy was a rough place to work, and its common seamen hardly looked, acted or

smelled like Vineyard Vines models. No white ducks, lime-green whale pants, or aftershave on them. So our captain had a rough lot on board. Sure, he liked his floggings. Who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back then? Honestly, how many times can a man scrub the decksâ&#x20AC;Ś then whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left to do in the hot sun? On the bright side, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no record of Captain Will ever keelhauling a single soul. (That was the Dutch.) And when he sailed for what is today Indonesia, there were no European settlements along his route from the west coast of the Americas. The majority of the ocean was literally uncharted. The islands of the Pacific were poorly known, and many of the locals had, it was rumored, developed a taste for white meat. So our captain had his reasons for being a tad tense. Wandering into a quiet cove, dropping the hook, and rowing ashore to look around was not a pru-

But that insubordinate Fletcher threw all his plants overboard during the mutiny. Honestly…what juvenile behavior. Then he cast poor Captain Will off in an open ship’s launch. Well, after an epic feat of navigation and seamanship across 4,000 miles of open ocean, our unstoppable captain returned safely to England. Why, Will was even promoted and became a national hero. Ironically, his greatest challenge upon his return wasn’t justifying his behavior in light of the mutiny, but rather explaining what happened to his breadfruit trees. “Go back and get the breadfruit,” he was told. And so, commissioning a new, larger vessel, he returned and brought home the breadfruit. So all ended pretty well for Captain Will. Until Hollywood got ahold

Servicing the mooring bright, still morning in late June. Half-tide. These are the conditions I have been waiting for in order to service my mooring for the coming season. It has to be calm so there is little risk of swamping my minimal dinghy while I work. Half-tide is ideal because there will be enough slack in the rode for me to get a substantial section up into the boat for cleaning without having to lift the heavy chain off the bottom. Since it is only the upper portion of the line (the part nearest the sun) that accumulates weed, there is no need to clean any lower. Less than half-tide and I would risk not being able to get back to shore over the rapidly emerging mudflats. I capture my English setter Sparky and shut her in the house over vociferous protest. She likes to assist me in all my

projects, but her presence can be problematic around boats and mud. Now I pick up a spar buoy and the pendant from last year and head for the dinghy. I am also carrying a dull kitchen knife, which will be used to cut and scrape kelp and other growth from the rode. Dull is good because, while the knife will easily cut through stems and strands, and scrape off mussels, it will not damage the nylon and Dacron of the lines. The descent to the shore is steep and uneven and, because I recently tore a ligament in my knee, a little painful and uncertain. As I dodder downwards, I reflect that age is catching up with me, and I wonder how long I will be able to do these things. I reach shore in company with a swarm of deer flies.

until sometime in early July when, for some reason, these creatures moderate their behavior. Today I know I am going to loose some blood as I alternately row and swat on the way out to the mooring. Getting to the large white ball, I realize I am not going to be able to get the ball into the boat while seated on the thwart. The ball is too big for me to get my arms around it without leaning perilously out over the water and inviting capsize. I will, however, be able to get it aboard by kneeling in the bottom and bringing the ball in over the transom. Sounds straightforward enough, but with the knee and a certain amount of stiffness that comes along in bigger doses every year with our move to Maine, it is not so easy. I find that I am whimpering and groaning and talking to myself while doing these simple things. The ball comes in, and I get to work with the knife. The ball itself is relatively clean, and I reflect that it would have picked up more growth in a week down in the low country of South Carolina, where we winter, than it has over a whole season here in Maine. Now I start hauling in rode and cleaning it. Here, the growth is pretty impressive. Long fronds of kelp come up, their roots straining to penetrate and disrupt the strands of the line. I pull at some of them, but they are pretty tough when dealt with that way. The knife is the answer. Along with the kelp is green weed, hairy fiber, worms and mussels. A crab falls into the bilge along with a baby eel. I was always taught that eels were born in the Sargasso Sea, and make their way here after a long and arduous journey. This specimen is way too small for that. Well, I always did think that Sargasso Sea story was a little fishy. The rode is clean now, but the dinghy is a real mess. Full of crud. I am covered with it too, and I smell like the sea bottom. I bend on the pendant with a bowline and a hitch (I know, I know, should be an anchor hitch, but somehow I never learned to tie one). Then I use a rolling hitch to connect the spar buoy with the pendant and the job is done. Since I am on the water anyway, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go home right away, but head out into the harbor. I may not be able to walk very well these days, but I can still row, and it feels good to work the muscles in my arms and back. A light south wind is riffling the water, which sparkles and dances, and it brings the fresh scent of the sea from over Harbor Island. There is a tang of spruce in the air, too. My heart leaps, and I realize I am as happy as I ever get. There is a whole summer of this ahead. W. R. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billâ&#x20AC;?

West Falmouth. With their low freeboard, shallow draft and wide beam, they were perfect for shallow protected waters. But the 3 B’s was a Herreshoff 12 1/2, and she came from Quissett Harbor, where H-12 1/2s are the majority class. The H-12 1/2 stood out as a different breed, with its 16-foot overall length (12 1/2 feet at the waterline), higher sides, two-and-a-half-foot draft, and a bow designed to cut easily and safely through the Buzzards Bay chop. Having a deeper draft meant avoiding sailing at low tide, but the payoff was that Betsy and I always headed “outside,” even when the prevailing southwest wind in the bay was kicking up, which was exciting to me and a doorway to the wider world. The Lovelands kept the 3 B’s for many years, and as we aged, she aged,and she was eventually given up to those who could afford the time and expense of maintaining an elderly classic wooden boat. But the H-12 1/2 design continued to be a part of my life. My good friend Joan Jackson of Marion restored a H-12 1/2 and named her Manifest Destiny, in which we sailed as far afield as Newport to see the Tall Ships in 1976. Always one to challenge tradition, I once rigged her with a bowsprit and double headsail. When I moved to Martha’s Vineyard, my wife Eleanor and I bought a 23-foot Marlin “Eleanora” (see “Eleanora to the Sea, Parts 1&2, August and September 2013), and we now own a 30-foot Blue Chip, Pre-

lude. My mom owns a 16-foot Bulls Eye, Zig Zag. All these models have the handsome seaworthy hull form of the H-12 1/2, and all were designed for Cape Cod Shipbuilding by Sidney Herreshoff, whose father Nat designed the H-12 1/2. In the meantime, Betsy Loveland married, became Betsy Wheeler, and raised a family, which led to Grand Children who now visit West Falmouth every summer. A few years ago Betsy was really missing 3 B’s and was considering getting a fiberglass boat so her family could continue the tradition of enjoying summer sailing. I found her a blue-hulled, gaff-rigged H-12 ½, built by Cape Cod Shipbuilding, which was little-used and sitting in a windless lake in North Carolina. Betsy purchased Goodnight Moon with my promise that I would help her launch and haul every season for the rest of our lives. This sounded like a good deal to me because that meant Betsy and I would have at least two sails together each year taking Goodnight Moon the four miles (as the seal swims) to and from Fiddler’s Cove Marina in North Falmouth. Any excuse for a sail with an old friend, I always say. So it is that more than 50 years later Betsy and I are again sailing together in a classic little gaff-rigged Herreshoff. The time spent together on a small sail boat is always quality time. The distance from Fiddler’s Cove to West Falmouth always gives ample opportunity for us to catch up on current events in our

The journey begins May 17 with the Morgan being towed down the Mystic River en route to New London, Conn. This will be the first time the ship has been below the Mystic River Bascule Bridge since she arrived at Mystic Seaport in November 1941. A monthlong fitting-out period will take place while the Morgan is in New London. Due to the shallow depth of the Mystic River, the ship cannot be properly ballasted for sailing at her berth at Mystic Seaport. New London also offers easy access to Long Island Sound for sail training. On June 14, the Morgan will leave New London and begin her journey up the coast of New England. Sailing

DYT Yacht Transport assists crew of dismasted ocean racer Super Servant 4, one of the ships in DYT Yacht Transport’s fleet of yacht transporters, diverted six miles from its course to Saint Thomas to assist racing sailors Thierry Chabagny and Erwan Tabarly aboard their dismasted yacht Gedimat, which had radioed the ship for help on April 23. DYT has offices in Newport, R.I. The 32-foot Figaro Beneteau II was competing in the Transat AG2R La Mondiale, a 3,890-mile, doublehanded race that began on April 6 from France and finished at the French Caribbean island of Saint Barthelemy. Gedimat had dismasted during a gale, and its diesel had run dry as the vessel tried to reach Madeira, a Portuguese archipelago 250 miles north of the Canary Islands in the North Atlantic. With no reported injuries or problems with health aboard Gedimat, Super Servant 4 – which was 180 miles west of Madeira at the time of the call – proceeded to divert and deliver two drums with 20 liters of diesel in each, to Gedimat. The two drums were thrown into the water, connected to a third empty drum with a light. The crew was successful in bringing the drums aboard, with no additional assistance, in the 20-knot breezes and six-foot swells. Gedimat was leading the fleet at the time of the rig failure and had approximately 1,900 miles to go to reach Saint Barthelemy. FMI: www.yacht-transport.com.

MIT Ale declared best in Maine In a competition that took place in March between 64 beers, Maine Island Trail Ale (MIT Ale) emerged victorious from the first annual March Beer Madness Tournament, and was declared Best Beer in Maine. According to beer blogger and competition organizer, Dave Patterson, over 1,500 votes were cast throughout the tournament, with a landslide finish from MIT Ale’s eager fan base. Produced by Rising Tide Brewing Company of Portland, in partnership with the Maine Island Trail Association, MIT Ale is a crisp, American ale crafted to complement summer on the coast of Maine. It was introduced just last year and has already gained an exceptionally loyal following. A portion of sales go to support the Maine Island Trail and its stewardship of over 200 of Maine’s uninhabited coastal islands. March Beer Madness is an NCAA-style elimination tournament that features online voting from the beer-loving public. In its two-week championship run, MIT Ale bested a field of 64 different beers representing Maine’s top breweries. The championship final pitted MIT Ale against Allagash Curieux, a heavyweight contender from one of Maine’s iconic craft brewers. MIT Ale secured the victory with 76 percent of the vote.

About nine miles southsouthwest of Point Judith, R.I., little Block Island, less than 10 square miles in area, is deemed one of the Last Great Places in the Western Hemisphere By Sue Cornell For Points East ew Shoreham, aka Block Island, may have the distinction of being the smallest town in the smallest state, but it’s a huge delight for a boater, fisherman, hiker, bicycler, shopper, foodie, and/or nature lover. The municipality of New Shoreham covers the geographic area of Block Island, which is located roughly nine miles southwest of Point Judith and across Block Island Sound. The Narragansett Indians knew the place as Manisses, meaning “Island of the Little God.” Block Island maintains two harbors, the Old Harbor and the New Harbor. It seems illogical that the Old Harbor, exposed to Long Island Sound, is older than the New Harbor, found in the protected and deep Great Salt Pond. Come to find out, the 18thcentury settlers grasped this conundrum, too, and did attempt to deepen and widen the inlet, only to discover the enormity of the project. The grand yet charming Victorian structures of the Old Harbor have not only survived but are also a large part of what one envisions when he or she hears the words “Block Island.” The island’s moorland landscape also registers with these two blissful words. Part of the appeal – or of my obsession with Block Island (or BI as it is known) – is that this is not only an island but that it is also one that looks like a land from far, far away. By going to an island, you separate physically and mentally from everyday life. And, since BI looks different from what islanders call “America,” it’s a

quick and easy way to detach, escape, clear the mind, and, just as important, benefit from outdoor fun. The other part of the allure is that Block Island is old-school. You won’t find fast-food chains, stoplights, highways or casinos, and many businesses don’t even have an Internet presence. Imagine that! I called one marina, for example, to get their web address, and the owner said “What do I need a website for; we answer the phone!” You will find unique shops, eateries and inns, and, while prices are Photo by Bailey Cornell higher than wherever home is, Block Island is The Narragansett Indians knew what is now called Block Island as Manisses, meaning “Island generally less expensive of the Little God.” This grand fish weathervane holds court above the Hotel Manisses. than Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, and considerably less than hop- VHF Channel 12 once you arrive.

If you’ve got your heart set on mooring in the GSP, set an extra alarm clock and make sure you’ve got your Zoomies (or traditional binoculars) on board because this real estate is in high demand. “We fill up every day when we’re in season, which is the third week in June until Labor Day,” says Bethanie Rousseau of the Harbormaster’s Office. There are, however, some weeks that are better than others (or worse, depending on your point of view). “Fourth of July week is insane, and it could be the two weekends on either side of the holiday if the Fourth falls in the middle of the week,” says Rousseau. “V-J Day – Victory over Japan Day, which is the second Monday in August – is a Rhode Island holiday. That weekend going into it tends to be really, really busy,” she adds. Rousseau advises: “The earlier in the morning* you start looking in the fields for a mooring the better the chance you have of getting one. Turnover happens at noon, so people have to be off the mooring by noon if they’re not going to take it another night.” *That’s anytime in the morning – 6 a.m. or 7 a.m. is not too early to start.

Chapter 1 We drove down to Rockland one Saturday morning. I was expecting a clear, sunny morn, just like the TV weather guy said ’twas to be. Instead, it was low’ry and blowing steady out of the south. We launched the Zodiac and headed out. There was a steep chop running right inside Rockland harbor, and we got wet just gettin’ out to her. Once on board, I opened the seacock for the engine intake, fired up the Yanmar, and busied about setting the bridle on the Zodiac. Not a pretty morning at that point. Then we were away, and steamed out past the end of the breakwater and swung her around and headed north. After an hour or so, it burned off and it became the day we had expected – sunny and a bit cool – but, still and all, a perfect end to a summer day. We worked our way north up along the coast, past Rockport, Camden and Lincolnville. However, that southerly wind had built a swell coming in from the open sea that took us on the starboard quarter. I learned something about the swell – they run in sets, just like waves – so all that morning we had a following sea on the starboard quarter, and underneath, lurking, the swell. At times I would look out aft through the pilothouse door and see the swell rise up and seem ready to come over the rail. With her square transom, the Laurie B labored – every goodly swell would catch her stern and yaw us around – and it was tiring work to keep her headed true.

Laurie had been saying right along, “Let’s stay the night and have fun in Belfast.” I checked the marine forecast, and the rain forecast for the following day looked like no big deal, so I said, “Sounds good to me.” I raised the harbormaster on Channel 9, and he directed us to a mooring.

There she was, with the pickup buoy held at the end of the boat hook, extended out in mid-air, and slowly the hook was being pulled out of her hands... Chapter 2 Firstly, with the wind out of the south, it’s not a harbor at all. Had a hell of a time snagging that mooring. The wind was driving the waves right straight down the harbor. Laurie B was pitching up and down so hard that Laurie couldn’t stand up at the bow to snag the pendant; she had to kneel. What a time we had. Must have come up on it three times before she snagged it. I saw she had it snagged, and she was yelling, “Help me!” I put the Yanmar in neutral and ran forward, the bow pitching. There she was, with the pickup buoy held at the end of the boat hook, extended out in midair, and slowly the hook was being pulled out of her hands; the wind was just too much for her to pull in against. I knelt down beside her, and, between the two of us, we slowly hauled the pendant in, bit by bit. But Holy Mother of God! We would haul in and gain a foot, and the next minute the wind would howl up and we would start to be pulled right over the rail.

Five tons of trawler, with that pilothouse catching the wind, my arms are still sore. Finally we got the eye of the pendant aboard and dropped it over the horns. We got the Zodiac rigged and headed into town. We had lunch at the Weathervane right on the wharf, and spent the afternoon shopping. Great little town, Belfast is – great shops and galleries. We bought the makings for dinner, take-away, and went back out to the Laurie B. On the way out, Laurie had to cover up or get soaked; this is a harbor? I thought to myself. What followed was an absolute nightmare, perhaps a fitting end to our greenhorn year, our season of baptisms by fire. Somehow, in the pitching sea, I got the outboard off the Zodiac and passed it under the lifeline to Laurie. Usually, I can mount it directly on its bracket on the rail. No way this time. We then set about attaching the towing bridle to the stern bits, and then it happened. Well, we don’t know exactly what happened, but next minute the Zodiac was loose and drifting away.

At last, after a replay of snagging the mooring and hauling in the pendant, we were back where we started. We went below to the cabin and collapsed at the table. Five minutes later, I had the jug of Southern Comfort out, and we were soon enough laughing over the whole thing. Laurie was feeling a bit queasy, what with the rock and roll. I ate a bit of dinner, then went out and raised the mizzen to dampen the rolling, and we were in our berths by 6:30. It was the best place to be. As I lay there, I closed my eyes and just felt the motion of the boat; I would say we were corkscrewing. I read a bit and then had the thought I should get up and switch on the chartplotter. That way, if we broke loose the depth alarm would go off and we would have a fighting chance. I went to the pilothouse and, in the dark, switched it on, and immediately the alarm went off. I couldn’t believe it! We had only two and a half feet of water under the keel. Sweet Jesus! There was nothing for it: I found the jug, refilled my glass, and went back to my berth in the fore-cabin.

Chapter 3 Belfast Harbor is actually the mouth of a small river, so what with the river current, the tides, the waves and the wind, the boats in the mooring field were bowon to every point on the compass. We took a pounding all night. It blew harder and harder, the waves funnel-

ing into the “harbor” bigger and bigger, and, finally, we got up before dawn and sat in the cabin and had breakfast of a baguette we had bought in town slathered with peanut butter. I looked out, and not far in front of us was another sailboat, maybe a 30- footer. She had a dinghy attached, so I knew they were at home – like us. They weren’t streaming behind their mooring, heading into the wind and seas, but taking it all broadside. Their cabin lights were on, too; they were probably sitting there just like us. I said to Laurie, “As soon as there is enough light to see, we are out of here. I’d rather perish at sea than take any more of this crap.” “It doesn’t matter anymore,” she agreed. “Let’s go.” Just before sun-up, Laurie loosed us from the mooring, and we were away. And we couldn’t believe our eyes: There were big waves, three and four feet high or more, roaring right through the mooring field. All the boats were pitching and rolling like toys in a tub. We made our way out to the mouth of the harbor, and it was at that point that our Fisher, our dear Laurie B, came into her own. As the sun rose on the horizon beneath the clouds, we pounded out of the harbor through huge waves and wind. We had opened the forward window in the pilothouse as it was hard to see out of it with the spray on it. Well, that didn’t last long, Bubby. Soon enough we took solid water over the bow, and a big wash of water

By this time we were almost on the rocks. The depth alarm was blaring on the chartplotter, which meant less than 10 feet under the keel. I swung her around, headed back out, and put the coal to her. came through the port and drenched us. “Probably good to close that,” I says. As soon as we cleared the can at the mouth of the harbor, I swung her east toward the head of the bay and the mouth of the Penobscot. Now we were taking the seas broadside, so I bore off to the south a bit, away from where we wanted to go, just so we’d take the seas a little more on the starboard bow. We slowly made our way across to the head of the bay, and it was slow going. But finally we got far enough east so I could swing her right around and head her due north, pointed at the mouth of the Penoby. I thought we were home free. No chance. As we made our way up into the mouth of the river, the channel narrowed into a gorge between Verona Island and the mainland. It’s deep and narrow there, and the full-moon tide was coming in full-bore right under the swell and waves driving in from the south. All that met the mighty flow of the Penobscot, swollen with rain, as it poured through that gorge into the bay.

I can’t describe the water. We had a following sea, sure, but there was a lot more going on beneath the surface as those seas and tidal currents met. It was all I could do to keep her pointed north. At times she would slew around sideways, and she wouldn’t answer to the helm, the rudder totally overpowered. White knuckles. Curses. Christ Jesus! Will this ever end? We fought our way upriver, under the bridge, and took the big turn at Bucksport, under the granite ramparts of old Fort Knox. Once around the bend, it finally settled down. I turned the helm over to Laurie, and the heavens opened. Didn’t she pour! Like pouring piss out of a boot! I threw on my slicker and went on deck to take down the mizzen as I had noticed that, in the pounding, the mizzen sheet had parted ways and the boom was slatting back and forth. I set up the docklines and fenders and came back in wet to the bone. Soon enough we were in Winterport, found a spot on the backside of the floats, and tied her up.

With all the blue-claw crabs invading New England’s salt ponds, bays and estuaries, you ought to get in on the action this summer. Here’s how one self-professed crab fanatic does it. By Capt. Mike Martel For Points East first fell in love with the blue crab, a.k.a., blue- claw or blue-shell, as a Coast Guard Recruit on my first liberty from boot camp in Cape May, N.J., many

years ago, thanks to a couple of very nice old ladies. I was all of 18 years old, naive, skinny, and dressed in my freshly pressed light-blue tropical-dress uniform with a wide white pancake hat and shiny black shoes. I walked off the base alone with nowhere to go. editor@pointseast.com

However, I found the happy little sailor’s haven, the Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May, right outside the gate, whereupon two kindly and sprightly senior ladies found me, took me under their wing, and said they were going to “take this nice little Coast Guard man to lunch.” They drove me to a restaurant down on the inner harbor wharf and introduced me to sautéed softshell blue crabs. And after all this time, I can still say that it was a case of love at first bite. Love, as Max Ehrmann wrote, is as perennial as the grass. Make that eelgrass. And so is the blue crab, which resides in and around New England’s eelgrass. The blue crab is a robust, energetic, surface-swimming crab. Its back fin – its swimming fin – is driven by a big, sweet-tasting, silky white muscle, which is the source of the “lump backfin” crabmeat often described on menus. Rock and bottom crabs have little meat in the body; it’s all in the big crusher claws. But the blue crab, which swims like Johnny Weissmuller, has most of its meat in the body. So you want to go crabbing? Here in New England, there certainly are blue crabs to be caught in midsummer when the water is warm, particularly down here in Southern New England. Blue crabs are a warm-water species, which, of course, is why the Chesapeake is famous for them. They like salt and brackish water, muddy shallows and eelgrass, and are, thus, found in estuaries and salt ponds, which are not as extensive

The best keeper is a wire clamming basket. I like to shake the net in the water to wash the mud off the crabs, then put them in the basket, weed and all, for moist insulation.

up here as they are in New Jersey and the South. Since they are less common in New England, local fishing rules are more restrictive. Generally, you cannot use traps, but you must use a dip-net. This makes catching them more challenging, yet, at the same time, more sportsmanlike. There are size limits, whereby the crab is measured across the back of its shell from side to side. Check local and state regulations because they vary. Many crabbers like to slog through the muddy shallows with a dip-net. To me, that takes much too long, is too much work, and I hate standing in hot mud up to my calves. Some like to stand on the shore with a

raw chicken wing on a string. They toss it out into the water, and draw it in slowly, hopefully attracting a crab, and slamming the dip-net over him when he heaves into range. Not for me. The only thing I do with chicken wings is souse’em with Frank’s Red Hot sauce when crispy and eat them. No, my approach is high-tech, aggressive, and nearly always successful. First let’s talk about the welldressed crabber. You must dress for success. This means plenty of sunscreen, water shoes (no bare feet, please – I will tell you why in a minute), a wide, floppy hat to keep the sun off, and, more essentially, polarized sunglasses. These reduce glare from the water so that

you can see the crabs below. Next, you need a flat-bottomed skiff – preferably a plywood skiff no more than 14 feet long. A flat-bottomed skiff can move around in inches of water and is a stable platform to move around in. My secret weapon is an electric trolling motor, a Minn-Kota with a strong deep-cycle battery mounted forward to trim the boat, since I will be working mostly in the stern. You can adjust the height of the trolling motor to move around in 10 inches of water. I stand in the stern with my right hand on the landing net, my left hand on the control handle, and I pilot the skiff around in reverse with the trolling motor.

You’ll need a long-handled dip-net. I use a landing net I’ve equipped with a 10-foot-long handle. Ordinary dip-nets have too short a handle and too small an opening. Sometimes I pole around with the net handle instead of using the motor. And, of course, do not forget the water bottle. Oars, a small anchor, and a bailer are necessary. After only an hour or two of engaging in death-struggles with crabs in a muddy marsh, your skiff will be blackmuddy from keel to truck, and you will need to bail as well. The black mud will bake in the sun, and when you get the boat home, the goo is almost as difficult to remove as burnt johnnycake from a cast-iron pan.

Remember that crabs can see out of water very, very clearly. Their pincers draw blood if they find your hands or ankles, and they have no desire to let go once they have found pink flesh. Crabs move very fast out of the water as well as in it. What kind of conditions must you have? First of all, you want a sunny day for optimum visibility. You want to go at low tide. Avoid stirring up the mud as much as possible; once the water gets clouded, you can’t see them. Also, you need as little wind as possible: A calm morning is best because, once the surface is rippled by zephyrs, you can’t see the crabs below it. Late afternoon, once the wind comes up, is not a productive time. Where to go? Here in Rhode Island’s upper Narragansett Bay, and off Mount Hope Bay in Massachusetts, the Kickemuit and Cole rivers are known to be good. Hundred Acre Cove in Barrington, R.I., is a favorite spot, as is the Narrow River in North Kingstown, R.I. Blue crabs can be harvested along the shores of the Gulf of Maine as well is in Connecticut

tidal waters. Just look for any place that has warm, shallow, salt to brackish water, eelgrass and salt marsh nearby, and you’ll probably find this sporting and good-eating species from June through September. Happy hunting. Capt. Mike Martel, who grew up on Narragansett Bay, began restoring and rebuilding old wooden boats as a hobby more than 30 years ago.

US Sailing will receive funding for disabled vets’ racing camps U.S. Paralympics, a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee announced that the United States Sailing Association, Inc. has been selected to receive grant funding in support of Paralympic sport and physical-activity programs for disabled veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces. More than $7.5 million in funds from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has been awarded to 70 community organizations and National Governing Bodies around the country. Through this program, grants ranging from $13,000 to $500,000 were provided to USOC partner organizations and community programs to increase the number and quality of opportunities for physically or visually impaired Veterans to participate in physical activity within their home communities and in more advanced Paralympic sport programs at the regional and national levels.

Massachusetts man wins Spin 2 division in Les Voiles, St. Barth Aboard his Swan 48, Affinity, Jack Desmond, of Marion, Mass., won the Spinnaker 2 class in this year’s Les Voiles de St. Barth, which ended April 19. The Spinnaker 2 division was closely contested, and afterwards Jack had a great story for the cocktail party. In the fall of 2012, Affinity fell off its stands at a boatyard in New England and sustained substantial damage, so for last year’s Les Voiles, Desmond chartered the Swan 56 White Rhino. This year White Rhino was chartered by Steve Cucchiaro, who became Desmond’s closest competitor, tying ST. BARTHS, continued on Page 58 editor@pointseast.com

NGPAGES PHRF New England Championships are now ONE Regatta New management of one of the largest New England regattas of the summer, the PHRF New England Championships, has renamed the event the Offshore New England Championships, or ONE Regatta. As in past years the regatta will take place the weekend before Labor Day (Aug. 22-24) in Marblehead, Mass. The ONE Regatta is hosted by the Boston, Corinthian and Eastern Yacht Clubs, and organized and promoted by Mass Bay Sailing Association. Onshore festivities will take place at the Boston Yacht Club. The regatta typically attracts 100 boats and 1,200 sailors from all over New England. Any keelboat is eligible to participate. There will be serious championship racing (windward/ leeward) for rating classes and one-designs, and casual â&#x20AC;&#x153;around the buoysâ&#x20AC;? racing for main and jib, shorthanded (single/double) with spinnaker, and rating classes. PHRF, ORR, IRC, HPR and other rating types will be used to produce the best, most-competitive and fair racing possible. All efforts will be made to keep like boats racing Photo by Leighton O'Connor, www.blueSWIRLS.com

ST. BARTHS, continued from Page 56 on point score with Affinity, but finishing 2nd on a tiebreaker countback. The conditions on the final day featured a 22- to 25-knot southeasterly, producing an impressive swell on the island’s windward side. As spectators watched from a sculpted rock plateau 500 feet above the pristine beach of Colombier, the sailing conditions on the northern most point of St. Barths seemed epic: strong, fairly steady wind, with flat water at the starting area and the first rounding mark. At the next mark, however, the fleet began its beat around the island’s northern end into the ocean swell. A two-knot current running counter to the prevailing wind produced six- to eight-foot seas that, while uncomfortable upwind, made for a rollicking ride off the breeze.

FMI: http://sailingteams.ussailing.org.

Strong westerly winds on Chesapeake Bay early in June delivered favorable racing conditions for sailors competing in the final day of the Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Regatta Annapolis. As crews headed out to the racecourses on the last day, the potential for multiple races in each class appeared to be a foregone conclusion, making the Overall Winner title within reach for many of the regatta’s top skippers. However, it was skipper Bill Keene, of Weston, Mass., and crew, aboard Savasana in the J/70 class, who performed flawlessly under pressure. On the last day of competition, Keene and crew maintained excellent boat speed and positioning in both races in the regatta’s most competitive class. The team was also spot-on in their strategy for handling wind shifts and the strong current. As overall winner the crew earns an invitation to the NOOD Regatta Championship in October in the British Virgin Islands. Annapolis-based skippers also had a strong showing. Area skippers who won their classes include: Peter Rich/USA 4006/J/24,Will Crump/Marie Crump/Thomas Klok/Rash Decision/J/80, Jerry Christofel/James Sagerholm/Aunt Jean/J/35, Bill Sweetser/Rush/J/109 and Kevin McNeil/Seabiscuit/Farr 30.

At 4 p.m., racers and guests will gather at 3 Salt Creek Road, on the west side of the harbor, for post-race festivities and supper. The Stone Horse was designed for the chop and

gusty southwesterlies on Buzzards Bay. The boat and conditions have combined for spirited racing on the five-mile course, which is usually a basic triangle with a fourth leg added to allow for a windward finish. Edey & Duff built and sold 151 Stone Horses (and one bare hull) from 1969 through 1996. Sam Crocker designed the classic 23-foot boat. The lines for the fiberglass version were taken from Mait Edey’s wooden Stone Horse, built by Bill Lee of Harwich Port, Mass., whose shop on Cape Cod overlooked the Stone Horse shoal and its prominent lightship.

The Kennedys would have excelled without the sea Victura: The Kennedys, a Sailboat, and the Sea By James W. Graham; University Press of New England, 2014; 232 pp., $29.95.

Reviewed by Sandy Marsters For Points East There is an assumption in this warm, wonderful biography of a small sailboat that belonged to the Kennedy clan for generations. The assumption is that, for various reasons, humans are drawn to the sea, and that the sea strengthens us and makes us whole, as nothing else can. “We are tied to the ocean,” President John F. Kennedy said in 1962. “When we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came…It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins, the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore,

we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears.” The author uses the quote, along with others drawn from interviews with several generations of Kennedys, to justify his thesis that a life on the water is what gave the family such incredible strength and resolve and resiliency – that the sea was at the core of the mission. This doesn’t explain why great people become great in the Midwest or in the mountains or in all the other places that people manage to develop strong core values that help lead them to lives of great accomplishment. It is not the only time that Graham tries a little too hard to prove that human strength evolves from the sea, and that it was the sea, and sailing, that fueled the Kennedy powerhouse. Elsewhere in the book, Graham catalogues all the sailing metaphors used in JFK’s speeches to further his thesis. It isn’t necessary. It only so happens that VICTURA, continued on Page 68

VICTURA, continued from Page 66 the Kennedy lives became focused on the sea. Like other wealthy families at the time, when JFK’s father bought the big house in Hyannis Port, that’s what rich people in New England did. Making this the family headquarters was done as much to help an Irish Catholic family live among New England wasps as any need to be by the sea. When he tries too deliberately to make those connections to the sea, Graham diminishes the beautiful message of this book – that a family that maintains and cherishes tradition, that grounds itself spiritually, philosophically, emotionally, and even geographically, may be better able to survive life’s challenges and endure. As Graham says later in the book, “The story of Victura is a story of the power of shared experience. Families and friendships are not made strong by genetics or chance, but by time spent together in common purpose.” In this case, that was sailing, but it didn’t have to be. Whatever the case, the Kennedy clan certainly faced those challenges, met them, and endured, and it may

have been Joseph Kennedy’s insistence that his children not just sail, but that they also win, that was a source of strength. These days, we don’t embrace the win-at-all-costs approach to children’s athletics. When our kids lose, we try to soothe them by telling them, “Winning isn’t everything.” We conveniently leave out the other half of that quote: “It’s the only thing.” Joe Sr. lived by that second half, and insisted that his family live by it as well. One of the more interesting details revealed in the book was that Joseph Kennedy demanded perfection in everything, not just sailing. Even brushing teeth. Strong teeth were important, and paid off when John F. Kennedy was rescuing crewmembers from his sunken PT-109 – by pulling them through the water with straps held in his teeth. It is a clever idea to fashion a narrative around an object, in this case a boat named Victura, a 25-foot wood Wianno Senior built in 1932 at the Crosby yard in Osterville, Mass. – and, through the narrative of that boat, help readers to understand the characters and the lives that rotated through that boat. In Paul Hendrickson’s “Hemingway’s Boat,” we similarly were given new in-

sight into an already thoroughly examined family through the main character, Hemingway’s fishing boat, Pilar. An old story felt fresh and new. What more could possibly be said about the Kennedys after all these years and all the examination of their lives? Not much, but the narrative can be shifted, as Graham has done here, to give us a fresh perspective and to rekindle memories and emotions that we may have forgotten. “Victura” is a carefully and extensively researched work written in a warm, sensitive voice, clearly friendly to the Kennedys, but at the same time shining a light in the darker corners of their complicated lives. Graham apparently received a great deal of cooperation with many family members, whose interviews and recollections add deep texture to the work. Those interviews offer a number of wonderful, often funny, often poignant insights into the sparkling days and dark nights of this family. Eunice, who married

Sargent Shriver, comes across as one of the more compelling characters of the bunch. Her daughter, Maria, said of her mother, “Mummy wore men’s pants, she smoked Cuban cigars, and she played tackle football.” Aboard Victura, she was no less a force. A championship sailor, she sailed every possible day, whatever the conditions, well into her 80s. “Victura” is a celebration of the Kennedy spirit that derives from traditions that continue to this day in Hyannis Port. Graham displays deep respect and affection for the members of the family that he met and interviewed. It is sad and frightening to relive the horrors that this family endured, but it is also comforting to see the strength and power that can be derived from family and tradition. Points East co-founder Sandy Marsters is Points East’s media reviewer. Rumor has it that he’s back on the water with a new sailing vessel.

The sight of a yawl putting to sea off Seal Trap, on Maine's Isle Au Haut, is possessed of a certain drama.

Downeast drama There’s an epic dimension to coasting Downeast that inhabits even the most innocent of day cruises. Bold jolts of shore, spruce crowned islands, lonely lighthouses, and velvet coves feel centuries removed from the moment. Stormy days, and the ceaseless milking and moshing seas are the stuff of dreams, drama, doubts – and a minor privation or two if you’re lucky. Stirring horizons and emptiness on a grand scale play to our sympathies. The incomprehensible tension of it makes life dear, and we’re quieted, which is a notable departure from our usual bullishness. Responding to the restlessness within that agitates against estrangement from our wayfaring spirit, casting off our lines and putting to sea is a pregnant act. It’s a fitting thing to feel small, and be keenly aware as we consult our mystics, lean into the light and chance along. There are days of epic perfection. It was a rare alignment of wind, weather and tide that saw the Leight swanning her way up Maine’s Damariscotta River on a ribbon of silk. Stretched out across the cockpit like a 70 Points East June 2014

pharaoh, idle hand on the tiller, I watched blue herons fishing the muddy sedges, and caught the flash and song of red-winged blackbirds winging by. Ghosting past saltwater farms, where men and machines were getting in the hay, the scene spoke to a comforting pastoral order, and filled the air with an earthy musk. Bringing Riverside Boatyard abeam, the steady heartbeat of a caulker’s mallet rang out like an ancient muse. Sails winged out, a genial chuckle of water music came from under the bow, and as shadows deepened the mate picked up a mooring close under the tidy village of Damariscotta. Putting ashore, we looked the town in the eye, and leisurely browsed the aisles of the Maine Coast Bookstore, which proved an eminently civil occupation. Thoreau was right when he described river ports as winged villages. Coasting is possessed of extraordinary spectacles. I can easily summon up the dark and stormy night the mate and I were returning from Nova Scotia in a southeasterly blow. Darkness and a dungeon of fog overtook editor@pointseast.com

us off Cape Sable, where an ebbing Fundy tide unleashed its 53-foot head of steam athwart the wind, whipping the seas into a chaotic frenzy. Dipping, corkscrewing and lurching her way westward under reefed main, rain poured down its portion of misery, and a slash of phosphorescence streamed aft like a fiery comet’s tail. In a smother of darkness, the tremor of a ship’s horn sounded in the distance. Leigh worked the radio, finally raising an oil-rig supply ship that had us on radar and would pass clear. It was no small thing to keep a pan of hash on the stove. There was a commanding wildness to the sight of the 26-foot sloop forging across tumultuous seas. Sailing into Burnt Coat Harbor, Maine, the following afternoon, there had been a remarkable drama to it, by our admittedly modest standards. There are epic places, too, quiet eel ruts in the lee of great granite battlements of spruce-crowned islands

that are possessed of a particular grace when wind and seas are up. The sight of a schooner reaching along with a bone in her teeth, sails carving taut arcs against the sky is a power play of cosmic proportions. We sail among whales, the greatest of beasts, and are moved by the heroism of tiny Wilson’s petrels elegantly swooping their way over heaving seas far offshore. After all these years, I can’t say I know what to make of it, but that it’s still possessed of breathtaking sweep, mystery and humbling magnitude that frames life dramatically. As Thoreau wrote, “I yet lack discernment to distinguish the whole lesson of today: but it is not lost – it will come to me at last.”

The Alerion Express 33 is just one cog in a broad diversification plan that includes both power and sail.

Does USWatercraft hold the key to success? By Capt. Michael L. Martel For Points East It’s a sight that does an old boat-lover’s heart good, as one might say: a big shop full of beautiful power and sailboats in the making, being born, in various stages of completion, by busy craftsmen toiling vigorously and with enthusiasm at their art; men and women skilled in the arts of marine carpentry, fiberglass and composite work, hardware and systems installation, engines and more. That’s what I saw one sunny day in April at USWatercraft, LLC, at the former TPI plant in Warren, R.I.

It was one of those days when the air in New England is cool and fresh and redolent of spring – when the future seems bright and appealing, just because. The future is certainly bright for this company, building boats like there never was a recession, and reinforcing the simple fact that boating, boatbuilding, and the joy of getting out in the water in a sleek and handsome craft is not going away, not ever. The boatbuilding industry is growing stronger, and experiencing a revival, driven by such visionary salts USWATERCRAFT, continued on Page 76

67-foot Lyman-Morse pilothouse A2 is born of the 63-foot Amelia Lyman-Morse, in Thomaston, Maine, is extending a nearly 30-year working relationship with designer Ted Fontaine with the Fontaine-designed 67-foot A2. The previous Lyman-Morse/Fontaine Design Group collaboration was the 63-foot center-cockpit, pilothouse design Amelia, with a shallow-draft keel/centerboard hull form. This proven hull shape has been lengthened to 67 feet, thus the moniker, the A2. Lyman-Morse says the A2 will be fast, comfortable, and “long-legged,” meaning that it is destined for anything from high-latitude adventure sailing to islandhopping in the Med, Caribbean or in Maine. The A2 blends a low coach roof, center-cockpit design with a LYMAN-MORSE, continued on Page 74 72 Points East June 2014

Edson unveils a new pedestal Edson International, in New Bedford, Mass., is offering a new sailboat steering pedestal, the Performance Pedestal, designed and built for weightsavings, simplicity and reliability. Equally applicable to an offshore racer or a coastal cruiser, this pedestal is available at different angles, including vertical, and can be built to match any single or dual helm configuration. Edson’s Performance Pedestal is compatible with chain and wire steering systems and features an optional through-shaft brake. The top is easily removable for quick inspections and simple maintenance. In other news, Hank Keene, co-owner and general manager of Edson International, has retired. The effects of Parkinson’s disease no longer allow him to continue in his position. “Hank has given his heart and soul to Edson over the past 38 years,” an Edson spokesman said. “He enjoyed his long-term relationships with customers and suppliers, making many friends throughout the Marine Industry during his tenure. Hank’s management style has endeared him to his longstanding and devoted employees. Helping to design, engineer, and manufacture the Edson product line made him most proud.” FMI: www.edsonintl.com.

A little bit of New Zealand thrives at Belfast’s Front Street Shipyard This spring, Front Street Shipyard has become the home-away-from-home for two New Zealand-built superyachts that arrived in Penobscot Bay after trips north from the Caribbean. These Kiwi sisters will be summering in Maine while they undergo refits here in Belfast, Maine. Marae is a 108-foot pilothouse sloop that won “Best Sailing Yacht” from the International Superyacht Design Awards in 2004. At Front Street, she’ll be getting new paint on both her hull and superstructure, and the yard will be addressing systems and electrical needs and modifying the owners’ cabin. Symmetry is a one-off custom yacht designed by Germán Frers and built in 2004. At 96 feet, she’s been a comfortable world-girdling cruising boat for the past decade. She will get new paint from the top of her 130-foot mast to the bottom of her 12-foot keel. She’ll also be getting new teak decks before heading back out to enjoy the Maine summer.

records and parts necessary to construct the wide range of boat lines, as well as the specific tooling that can be used to build and service the larger and currently out-of-production J/Boats and related parts. With its J/Boat original base maintaining solidity, USWatercraft is the licensed builder of the J/22, J/24, J/80 and J/105 lines of J/Boats as well as the Farr 30 and Farr 40. USWatercraft clearly has a soft spot for the racing sailor. Remembering founder Randy Borges’ love of fast sailing, it’s no surprise that his company acquired the rights to build and market C&C Yachts and breathed new life into a builder once known for its racehorses. Two new Mark Mills-designed screamers – the C&C 30 high performance racer and Redline 41 racer/cruiser – are being launched by USWatercraft in June. The C&C Redline 41, designed as an IRC racer, is priced around $410,000. Naturally, I had to ask: Where do you think the

recreational boating industry is headed? How can you compete successfully against, say, hulls built for far less money in the Far East? The answer is simple, according to Fawle: “A customer’s boat doesn’t have to be shipped from the other side of the world, so that is a big saving. Also, the craftsmanship that goes into our boats is second to none. It’s reliable, it’s accountable, and you can come in here and see your boat being built if need be.” I looked around the shop; these are all local guys, I noted – mostly men around 40, give or take. It reminded me of what I once heard said about the Herreshoff yard a century ago: Build the best and you attract the best, because they will suffer to work on nothing less. FMI: www.uswatercraft.com.

productive this month, and it allows you to cover a lot of ground to further increase your odds of hooking up. Whereas trolling is somewhat productive when the water temps are in the 50-degree range, as is typical in May, June, when waters have warmed into the mid- to high-50s, is the most productive time to troll all year long. Trolling deeper waters one to three miles south of Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk and Bridgeport – out as far south as the halfway point to the Long Island Shore farther south – you’ll have depths from 50 to 90 feet, so keeping your trolling speed around two to three knots, and using steel or lead-core line (or downriggers) will get your lures down in the 20- to 30-foot range, where most of the action occurs. Bunker spoons, umbrella rigs and deep-diving trolling lures like the Rapala X-Rap Magnum or Count Down Magnum are bluefish-magnets favored by many trolling highliners. Fluke fishing also starts to peak this month and will continue through the remainder of the summer until the

water temps head up into the mid-70s. Your best bet to get into a solid bite this month is to work over sandy areas in waters as shallow as six feet to as deep as 20 to 25 feet. And you’ll need a moving tide, so shy way from the top or bottom of the tides. I like a one- to two-knot drift. Hotspots this month include the Cows just outside Stamford Harbor, the outside of Greenwich Point, and both the south and west sides of Captain’s Island. Use one- to two-ounce bucktails in chartreuse, along with a 4/0 or 5/0 VMC circle hook as a teaser 12 to 18 inches above and behind the bucktail. And tip both hooks with Trigger-X scented soft baits (with wiggling tail action) to increase your hit-rate. Not only will you get more strikes by including the teaser above the bucktail, the larger, more aggressive fluke go after the teaser more often than the bucktail. LONG ISLAND, continued on Page 80

Striper fishing should be up to speed in June By Elisa Cahill For Points East Summer is in the air! After a harsh, cold winter, the fish are finally biting, and June is a great month to target summer flounder, scup, sea bass, and striped bass. Rhode Island’s south shore, from Point Judith to Watch Hill, hosts awesome fishing grounds for sum-

mer flounder, or fluke. Anglers should start in shallow, sandy-bottom areas, and work deeper as water temperatures rise. Popular hotspots include outside the Center Wall of the Harbor of Refuge, Carpenter’s, and Green Hill. The current 2014 regulations for fluke are seven fish

an extra dozen bunker when you can, keep them alive in your boat’s circulating livewell, bring them back to your dock, and load them into a large floating bait-cage tied off to your dock. They will stay alive for three to five days, and this will help get you off to a fast start the next time you head out for fishing. Richard just finished his sophomore year at Binghamton University, where he’s majoring in biology with a minor in environmental studies. His fishing, boating, birding, photography, environmental activities, and outdoor writing will continue “full steam ahead,” so you can count on seeing more of his articles and forecasts in upcoming issues of Points East. Contact him at Richard@nyctfishing.com, www.nyctfishing.com.

Seabass and Porgies are also on the feed this month and will readily latch on to fluke rigs when your drifts are close to rocky areas. Porgies voraciously attack sandworms, and since both seabass and porgies gravitate more to structure, fishing closer to rocky areas and wrecks is most productive. If you have guests or children aboard, and are more interested in frequent action, porgie fishing is an excellent way to go. Once you find a productive area, you’ll be so busy baiting and re-baiting your guests’ hooks, and unhooking porgies they catch, you won’t have time to do any fishing yourself. Tip of the month: If you’re targeting stripers and blues, with water temperatures in the 50s, snag or net

Competitive anglers can test their angling abilities in The Snug Harbor Door Mat Derby Fluke Tournament, June 28-29; call 401-783-7766 for more information. Many of the same areas along the south coast boast great ground for scup and seabass. These fish, however, do prefer rocky bottom areas and structure. Small hooks with squid or sandworms work best for landing these feisty fish. Please be aware that the seabass season does not open until June 29. The limit will be three fish per angler, 13 inches until Aug. 31. On Sept. 1, the limit will increase to seven fish per person. Scup regulations are 30 fish per angler, 10 inches. Tautog fishing is closed during the months of June and July, and will open Aug. 1- Oct. 18 with a three-fish limit, 16 inches. From Oct. 19 till Dec. 15, the limit increases to six fish per angler, not to exceed 10 fish per vessel. The first striped bass of the season started showing the first week of May along the south shore, and this was a pretty late start. Day by day, the fishing will improve from Charlestown to Narragansett Bay and out to Block Island. Trolling wire during the day is going to be the most productive method until the water warms enough and they are not feeding as much on herring. At this time, live eels will produce. Striper regs for 2014

remain unchanged: two fish, 28 inches. Only time will tell if the waters will be warm enough to head to Jenny’s and Ryan’s Horns in search of the first blue sharks of the season. The fish move east from these locations, with mako and thresher sharks following. The 33rd Annual Snug Harbor Shark Tournament will be July 12 & 13. Hopefully, bluefin tuna will surface and hang around this summer: Only time will tell! Elisa Cahill, a Point Judith Pond native, has managed the tackle shop at Wakefield, R.I.’s, Snug Harbor Marina (www.snugharbormarina.com) for over 19 years and has spent her life fishing the waters of Block Island Sound.

will be missed

Lowell V. Berry, 90

Yarmouth Port, Mass.

Narragansett, R.I.

Ren passed away on March 28 after a long illness. He was an active member of the Cape Cod boating and marine community as the president of Allen Harbor Marine Service, Inc., in Harwich Port since 1990. He was a 48-year “lifetime member” of the United States Power Squadron, where he rose to the rank of rear commander. He was a longtime member of the Massachusetts Marine Trades Association, serving continuously on the board of directors since the 1980s and as president of the Association from 2000-2002. He was also a charter member of the Allen Harbor Junior Yacht Club in his youth. He was a longtime member of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, serving as its president from 19931995. Ren and his father, Rupert Sr., were the only father and son to both be elected president of the chamber. His early career was in broadcasting, which had been his interest and hobby since childhood, when he set up an amateur Ham radio station in the home basement. Ren spent many years working as an announcer at WCOD radio on the Cape and other area stations, including WOCB and WVLC, and developed a professional speaking style that served him well in later work as a successful fundraiser for Holderness School and the March of Dimes.

Lowell died April 9 after a long struggle with cancer. He was fortunate to be able to spend summers in Sand Hill Cove, now known as Roger Wheeler Beach, near Point Judith, R.I., and Kenyon Farms and grew to love boats and the water. Lowell served in the Navy from 1942 to 1946 in Atlantic and Pacific theaters, including time on ships Tripoli, Block Island and Appalachian. After the war he married and settled in Warwick, R.I. Lowell participated in several Newport-to-Bermuda yacht races aboard the schooner Fortune, and continued a passion for sailing all his life. Lowell and his wife, Priscilla, maintained a love for the water, continuing the summer traditions they shared, and establishing a permanent residence in 1983 in the East Pond area of Point Judith Pond.

Raymond died April 24, 2014 after a brief illness. Ray lived for many years in Rhode Island as a pilot for Northeast and then Delta Airlines. He also owned and ran Masthead Marina, along with the Forty Fathom Lounge, in Warwick, R.I., from 1969 to 1984. A burial service will be held on Monhegan Island, Maine, this summer.

George Baskette, 54

Hobart “Hobie” Alter, 80

Barre, Vt.

Palm Desert, Calif.

The kite community lost a beloved founding father on April 6, when George Baskette died suddenly of a heart attack while out ice sailing on Lake Sunapee, N.H. George began flying kites at an early age. He was an early promoter and performer of fancy indoor kite demonstrations and trick flying. He was one of a handful of pioneers who started kite skiing and traction kiting in the U.S. From Revolution stacks to the introduction of ConceptAir power kites in Quebec, Baskette was involved. He flew kites with buggies and skis at a time when many of today’s kite sailors were still in diapers. He was an avid paraglider, who achieved many long-distance flights in North America. On his final day, with 22 Kitewings engaged in the 9th annual Tour du Phare race on Lake Sunapee, George reportedly set his kite down on the ice, lay down, and was unconscious when approached. Emergency responders arrived quickly but were unable to receive him.

Hobie Alter, who helped popularize surfing and sailing with his foam surfboards and Hobie Cat sailboat, died March 29. The innovator and surfer started carving wooden surfboards in the early 1950s, in the garage of his family’s Laguna Beach home. When balsa wood became scarce, he and his friend Gordon “Grubby” Clark created surfboards out of polyurethane foam. The boards were durable, had better flexibility, and were less expensive than wooden boards. The invention revolutionized surfing, and Hobie became a top surfboard brand. In the late 60s, Alter designed a lightweight sailboat inspired by the twin-hulled Polynesian catamaran. The more affordable Hobie Cat, which could be launched from the beach, is credited with bringing high-performance sailing to the masses. He also co-designed the Hobie 33, a 33-foot monohull lift-keel boat designed to be very light and very fast, a trailerable one-design racer/cruiser.

The way the wind blows hen I saddle up Penelope, my venerable engineless catboat, I rarely venture to say where I am going. Such a statement would be pure speculation, a kind of wistful expression of hope. No, I like to keep my options open. The idea is to take advantage of changing conditions, and follow whatever intriguing path that opens up. As much as possible, I like to cooperate with the elements, not fight them. Beating out the Western Way from Burnt Coat Harbor, Swans Island, I take note that a massive fog bank is rolling in from the sea and will be on us within moments. A slight chill comes with the fog as it wraps around us. The lighthouse astern and Gooseberry Island to starboard disappear as does can No. 3 close by, and everything else. It’s eerily quiet, too. Nothing to be heard but the muffled lapping of wavelets against the hull and the occasional distant cry of a gull. The breeze is such that we can just make a course for a waypoint in our GPS which will keep us clear of rocks off Gooseberry Island, and in the vicinity of the High Sheriff before slacking the sheet and bearing off on a more northerly course up Toothacher Bay. This heads us for a new waypoint, which will allow us to clear the

north end of Marshall Island and then head west between Marshall and the Halibut Rocks for Merchant’s Row and beyond, or, alternatively, north for the York Narrows and points east. The upper levels of the fog bank thin as we proceed up the bay. Looking straight up, I can see blue sky, but at the surface and up to a point just above the tip of our mast, the fog stays as thick as ever. The result is strange and wonderful. The fog on the water is transformed into a golden gas, and the chill departs as we float in a warm, golden world. We ease ahead, gently captured in a dreamlike trance. I’m reminded of the paintings of Maxfield Parrish, and almost expect to see swans and water nymphs weaving and dancing among the swirls of coppery vapor. Somewhere around the north end of Marshall Island, Penelope sails out of the fog into a clear, sunny day. Now it is time to think about where we may be going. A glance to the north reveals that the Casco Passage and York Narrows are shrouded in fog, so an eastward adventure is out unless we want to desert this delicious sunny morning and plunge into the mists again. More attractive are the sparkling waters which lie to the west Points East June 2014

LAST WORD, continued from Page 83 over Isle au Haut way. We haven’t been to Eely Oley – as some folks call her (the computerized voice of NOAA weather gives the name its best shot with “Eel Eee Hot”) – in a couple of years, and it is always a pleasant place to visit. There, due to a rather tenuous connection with the mainland, “progress” has not intruded too markedly, and it is easy enough to imagine you have traveled back a ways in time. There is a handy store not far from the landing, and good hiking, too, so in my dual capacity as captain and crew, I unanimously pass a motion to make this our goal for today. Penelope frolics westward until we have the grassy, treeless mound of Southern Mark Island close abeam. Gulls cry and squabble on shore, and rows of shags silently spread their wings to dry in the sun. The sharp smell of guano drifts over the water, seasoning the breeze much in the way a bit of anchovy will add depth and interest to a good beef stew. Now we discern a softening around the edges of our lofty destination ahead. The outline becomes indistinct as another big fog bank boils in from seaward and threatens to engulf the whole of Isle au Haut in a dank, dark cloud. A glance over my shoulder reveals that the York Narrows and Casco Passage are now clear. The GPS does not declare “Recalculating” in this circumstance, but the flesh-and-blood instrument inside my head does, and I begin to think about Sawyer’s Cove, a charming little gunkhole near Pretty Marsh Harbor on the west side of Mt. Desert. Famed Naval historian Samuel Elliot Morrison chose this spot for his summer home, and I’ve never had any trouble figuring out why. The prevailing southwest breeze and an incoming tide promise an easy sleigh ride through the Passage and on across Blue Hill Bay to the Cove. One of the joys of sin-

glehanded sailing is the perpetual seamless harmony that reigns onboard; skipper and crew are once again in perfect accord, so we jibe her over and head northeast. Running up the bay, we realize we are on a converging course with a handsome wooden ketch of somewhere around 30 feet on deck. She is moving along at an impressive rate, and I observe unhappily that she is going considerably faster than we are. Other boats are not supposed to have their way with Penelope quite so easily. But then I detect a telltale spurt and burble of water at her stern and realize she is motoring. Honor is saved. I call over to ask what she is, and get back that she is an H-28. All sparkling bright work and clean white paint, she is certainly a lovely sight, and I say so. She cuts her engine and it is a treat to sail along in company for a while. Then the breeze begins to fail and the iron wind comes to life again on the H-28. She forges ahead and leaves Penelope bobbling in her wake. Pushing on between Asa Island to starboard and Black to port, we must take cognizance of the fact that what little wind there is has started to come around to the northeast, which puts our intended destination of Pretty Marsh dead to windward. With light and contrary wind, and tidal currents that will soon turn against us, getting there anywhere near nightfall is unlikely. Displaying a fine sense of humor, Mother Nature has added an extra touch by generating yet another fog bank over in that direction. With the northeast breeze strengthening, I have a new idea. Back to the west we will go, only this time on the north side of the passage, close by Black and Opeechee Islands. Once through there, it is only a short hop across Jericho Bay and into the Eggemoggin Reach, where there are any number of good places to anchor for the night. The anchorages off Wooden Boat, Inc. in Brooklin, in Center Harbor, and in the Benjamin River all offer at-

tractions, and, for that matter, you can anchor almost anywhere along the shores of the entire Reach where the depths are suitable and the holding ground is good. Now, as we run westward for the Reach, the wind seems to be deciding whether or not it should quit altogether. We are in a narrow place between Opeechee Island and some ledges to the south. It is not a good place to be with no wind and becomes less so when I glance to the north and see distant lightning and anvil-shaped clouds coming our way. Fortunately, the wind begins to freshen from astern. Meanwhile the ominous thunderheads to the north are stationary. Squalls are howling, lightning bolts are raining down and hail is crashing, but not, I’m happy to say, on us. We reach the anchorage off the Wooden Boat School an hour or so before sunset and decide that we’ve had enough for one day. Ignoring a whole raft of mooring buoys marked “guest” we anchor outside the mooring area in about 20 feet at low water. During a previous visit to Wooden Boat, I had been disappointed to learn that “guest” doesn’t mean “guest” at all, but “rental” (to the tune of $15). I’m letting out more scope on my anchor when I hear a loud voice somewhere behind me, braying, “Hey you! Don’t you know that you can’t anchor here!?” I glance aft, only to see my friend John from Swans Island in a dinghy nearby having a good laugh at my expense.

POINTS

John and his bride of a year or so are going to get a ride to an inn in Brooklin and have dinner there. I think about joining them, but as a heavy fog again rolls in off the Reach, I think better of it. Anchored quite a ways off the shore, it will be difficult to find Penelope later in zero visibility. Mellowed by good food and drink, I will have to row out into the swirling mist. No, I’ve done it many times before, and it never turns out to be a very good idea. Besides, I haven’t been out long enough to miss shore food and human company. Steak, fried potatoes and green peas topped off with some good Cotes du Rhone will do just fine on board, and jazz and blues from WERU out of Blue Hill – “the best radio station in the world” – will be company enough. It has been a pretty good day after all. Cradled and lulled by the gentle dances Penelope is performing around her anchor, I drift off into sweet dreams. All of the Reach and east and west Penobscot Bays lie ahead, or do, that is, unless Penelope and I decide to go off in some other direction. It will all depend on the way the wind blows.
