EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Ma rsh
Keeping one’s nose – and head – clean ecently, I was accused of unbolting a marine toilet from the sole and towing the hopper down Chesapeake Bay. I was stunned – and not a little embarrassed. I had forgotten all about the incident, which was easy to forget because I didn’t think anyone, other than my cruising companion, had been aware of it. In the fall of 1993, we were sailing from Newport to the Annapolis Boat Show in my 27-foot sloop Breakaway. We hadn’t planned to sail to Annapolis. Our employers had expected us to fly down with the rest of the magazine staff, but having sailed to Block Island before the show began, we were thinking, What the hey, we’ve got a good jump on it, why not keep going? In the interest of full disclosure, my lighthearted approach to life seemed at times in conflict with the tenets of good seamanship, but I can think of only one instance in which I was involved in an unseamanlike act, and this was documented in September/October issue of “Ocean Navigator.” It involved a food fight at sea – but I didn’t really start it. The skipper of the British Swan 55 I was aboard did, after a two-day Bay of Biscay gale – with headwinds, 50-knot gusts, and two knockdowns – laid waste to the poor old girl. Storm damage included torn headsail and mainsail; roller-furling failure; multiple hatch, deadlight and mast-partner leaks; and two head doors smashed when crew were thrown into them. To make repairs, raise morale and regroup, the skipper headed for La Coruna, Spain. The captain – who’d skippered a British Steel Challenge boat “wrong way around the world” three years earlier (and, incidentally, won a prestigious seamanship award for rescuing an overboard crewmember in the process) – came on deck as we headed in to find that my watch had cut the succulent center from a fruitcake, leaving only the rind for his watch. Incensed (the desired reaction), he gained control of the companionway and the ammo (the food), drove us aft, and finished us off with a relentless whipped-cream barrage. Sure, while my watch did play the role of the

Archduke of Sarajevo in this conflict, and I did participate, I only did so out of self-defense. Now, perceptions of what is seamanlike and what is not vary greatly. Late one May in the 1970s, my partner in the toilet scandal was ferrying one of four Morgan OI 41 charter boats, along with a mother hen, a Columbia 43, from the Leeward Islands to Stamford, Conn. “We were supposed to be in Stamford, ready to roll on Memorial Day weekend,” he says. “Off Ocean City, N.J., the wind began to build from the northeast, classic New Jersey lee-shore stuff. The Columbia held station off Atlantic City, motoring and towing one of the OI 41s. Another OI 41 hung by him, also motoring. I set the staysail and headed offshore to gain searoom. “Two boats had nowhere to go but up on the beach, and the crews wound up at the Brigantine Motel. I was listed as ‘unaccounted for’ until I called the Columbia Abarno illustration in the morning. The atmosphere was a bit frosty. To think that, if we’d done the ‘right’ thing, we could have watched movies on a motel TV.” So back to the toilet incident: Granted, it sounds unseamanlike, like some adolescent prank – dragging a toilet through the Annapolis anchorage during boatshow week . . . cool. But that wasn’t it at all. Beating up Delaware Bay toward the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, the old Raritan simply cried uncle, and we decided to remove it and store it in a cockpit locker. Once removed, it had to be cleaned. And what could have been easier than powerwashing the unsavory hunk of porcelain for a few sea miles? “It was years before I could stop laughing every time I thought about the caper,” wrote my accuser. But we weren’t trying to be funny. We were just trying to sanitize a mothballed W.C. before stowing it. Apparently, long before Tweeting and texting, You Tube and Facebook, it was already more difficult to keep one’s nose clean than one’s “head.” And due to one mystery mole, I may forever be known as the sport who towed a toilet to the Annapolis Boat Show (this year, Oct. 4-8). editor@pointseast.com
Letters Kudos to Sea Tow for recovery On Sept. 8, we arrived at Handy Boat, Falmouth, Maine, to go aboard our Pacific Seacraft 34, Merlin. In choppy seas and a strong breeze, it was a wet ride in the launch out to our boat. As my husband continued to look Merlin over, he caught sight of a capsized boat, a 20- to 22-foot centerconsole, several hundred yards from us, east of York Ledge. We called Handy’s who immediately found out the mooring number, and the harbormaster reached the owners. The next news we heard was that Sea Tow was en route. Our wind instruments clocked the wind speed at a sustained 20 to 22 knots, the occasional 26-knot blast. The seas were choppy, perhaps two to three feet, the wind was from the southwest. At first, an 18- to 22-foot Sea Tow boat appeared and checked out the boat. Then a second, larger Sea Tow boat, 24 to 26 feet, responded. The high winds and seas were going to make any recovery difficult. The crewman from the first boat secured his boat to a nearby mooring and joined the second boat. A line and float was secured to the bow of the capsized vessel (left, top). The Sea Tow crew then released the capsized vessel from its mooring and maneuvered it to a position in which they could pull it up with the tow line (center). Once the vessel was in the correct position, they pulled the boat up and headed toward Clapboard Island and a lee shore. As the Sea Tow boat moved at speed, the once capsized vessel righted (bottom) and drained itself, and was towed to the Falmouth town landing, where the owners got it onto a trailer. What could have been a sunken vessel was saved by Sea Tow in rather inclement weather. Angela Lennox Exeter, N.H.

Re: Your letter to the editor (“Race Encounter Was Unsettling,” August), you should have just gotten the @%&*&# out of their way. Big sailing vessels are quite maneuverable when they have a good amount of way on. With less wind and less way, they are rather less maneuverable. This being said, with some wind they are still far less maneuverable than your 27-foot “sport boat.” What you should have done is haul your wind and wait for the procession pass, captured it on your camera, and then carried on. I am a schooner captain, and I can tell you that the ordinary rules of the road go out the window quite quickly Points East October/November 2012

when you’re in a 130-foot schooner surrounded by small vessels. The most troubling thing is that everyone wants to get a good picture so they can tweet it to all their friends. This results in every boat in a half-mile radius heading straight for you. Trying to take action to avoid a collision is moot when you’re the hub and all the action is coming at you. Most often, when I don’t take avoiding action, it’s because the smaller vessel comes right at me, gets within 10 feet to take a picture of the chipping paint, and then veers off typically downwind under no sail to get to the nearest safe anchorage. The fact of the matter is this: Small boat owners don’t consider the limitations of larger vessels when out touring, nor are they able to look at a chart, read the wind, and anticipate what the captains of these vessels are going to do, which often puts them under forefoot. I can assure you that the captains driving those schooners are more than acquainted with the rules of the road; they just have a boatload of common sense to go with it. Capt. Graham McKay Lowell’s Boat Shop Amesbury, Mass.
Not time to insist on right of way Here’s a reader’s thoughtful response to Jim Love’s letter in the August 2012 issue of Points East. Actually,
you’re getting feedback from two folks, one of whom is a licensed Skipper with both a sail and power ticket, and the other a Maine boater with 40 years experience. As I dictate this coming down Penobscot Bay, I’m looking at the Victory Chimes sailing across the bay – much the same situation in which Mr. Love found himself. I can see the Victory Chimes four or five miles away. It’s not hard to see nor hard to avoid. I’m inclined first to suggest that the general prudential rule – which is, in effect, don’t insist on your right of way if to do so would be to create a dangerous situation – should be kept in mind. Mr. Love should had had plenty of time to plan his course; should have known from Coast Guard announcements that a race was in progress; or, in just a passing observation, should have noted there were a bunch of schooners and they were probably racing. It’s not a time to insist on one’s right of way. Technically, his reading of the rules is right. I’m a lawyer and interpret rules every day, not necessarily maritime ones, but the concepts are the same. Too, large schooners are, in fact, difficult and slow to maneuver. That should have been a consideration. Here’s my summary: Next time assess the whole situation. Assess whether you want to continue to insist on your rule that you’re the stand-on vessel and the others are burdened; understand that a race is in progress; that you’ve got some large vessels involved; and that to insist on one’s right of way would have been risky – thus, the gesticula-

tions and vigorous conversations with the crews. If the experience was unsettling and frightening, it ought to be put in context that rights of way should not be insisted upon when to do so would be to create more danger, when a simple looking ahead and going around the fleet would have sufficed. Consider, too, the context of 27-foot sailboat against a 100-foot-or-so of very heavy lumber. I’m sorry that Mr. Love felt he (had) to write the letter, but if experience qualifies, Terry has had a ticket for about 30 years and I’ve been boating for about 40 years. Simply said, he created his own worrisome situation. There you have it. Jon R. Doyle & Capt. Terry Arford Law Offices of Doyle & Nelson Augusta, Maine
Return of Muscobe’s flybridge? I just read the “Letters” segment of the September issue and saw the headline over my father Joel’s letter about Muscobe’s flying bridge which read, “The editor loved that flying bridge.” If it’s any consolation I, too, loved that flying bridge, and could not fathom why my father decided to get rid of it. He tells me that he prefers a more authentic Downeast look for the boat, and she certainly rolls a lot less in a swell. However, for me, nothing beat being up there with the wind whipping through my hair on a hot summer

day, or jumping off the top into the cool waters in and around Marblehead harbor. It also was a much more effective place to steer from at night, given the reduced visibility in the wheelhouse caused by the tinting of Muscobe’s windows. That said, my father is very happy with the look of the boat. Nevertheless, if Muscobe ever comes into my possession, you can be sure the first thing I’ll do is to have that flying bridge rebuilt. Randy Gleason Dedham, Mass. Note from Dad: In view of Randy’s comment about reconstructing the bridge, I’ll be redoing my will in the morning.
Why ‘most pimped-out’ Paceship? Editor’s note: In his September Perspective, “An Uncertain Age,” Richard Gonci told us he sailed what “Practical Sailor” called “the most pimped-out Paceship in America.” Curious, we asked why it was recognized as such, and here is Richard’s response. The real story is not so much what we did, but why we did it. Here’s a synopsis that covers both. Gemini is a 1979 26-foot fin-keeled Paceship, originally powered by a small one-lung Yanmar diesel. She belonged to Sonny, my best friend of over 30 years, who died after owning and sailing her for just three seasons between 1999-2001. Sonny had a rare debilitating disease that left him on

a respirator for over four years. He could only “speak” by using a laser pointer affixed to goggles aimed at an alphanumeric board across his hospital room. Subsequently, I and a dear friend, enabled him to use a Web-connected laptop to “speak” to all his friends around the world through emails, with an infrared pointer. He actually wrote his illness memoir (190 pages) from his hospital bed, one slow “keystroke” at a time, which has recently been published. After he died, his family came to me with concerns that they could not manage his boat, which had been on-thehard for those four-plus years. I allowed as I had both the means and the knowledge to launch her again, which we did, after doing a stem-to-stern refit. I took his 90-yearold dad out for the re-launch trip. A year later, the family essentially gave me the lovely little sloop. Sonny had a number of passages he dreamed of making on this worthy little boat. While captive to his hospital bed, he dreamed of cruising from Block Island to Southwest Harbor, Maine, with dozens of ports-of-call in between. My wife and I determined that his cruising dream would be fulfilled. It was the last thing we could do for a departed friend. In preparation for this journey, I had her completely re-rigged, running and standing. I installed the Harken BatCar system for the mainsail, and purchased a new Furlex for the 120 and 150 genoas. The mast was recoated, the sails were replaced, the electronics were se-
riously goosed-up (including Raymarine depthsounder and wind instrumentation), and a Garmin 545 GPS has been mounted in the cockpit. Next, she got a Raymarine tiller-drive autopilot to make those nightlong passages a little less tiring. I had her hull refinished to a fine polish. A brandspanking new Yanmar 3YM30 was painstakingly inserted in the void left after the demise of the little eight-horse predecessor. A three-blade prop has replaced the largely useless two-blader. 110-volt 30A shore-power has been installed, along with a freshwater cockpit shower. All the 12-volt systems have been rewired. She now boasts 150 feet of chain with a Lewmar ProFish windlass and a bow-roller mounted Delta anchor. Secondary rode consists of 50 feet of chain, 200 feet of halfinch Yacht Braid rode, and a Fortress FX-16 anchor. Her tender is a 7.5-foot high-pressure Zodiac with a four-horsepower, four-stroke Tohatsu outboard, both suspended from new Forespar dinghy davits. She has all new cushions, both berth and cabin, and 110-volt refrigeration backed-up by a Trace 1500W inverter/generator (to accompany her large ice box,) and a Sharp “Half-Pint” 600W microwave. Most recently, she received a Furuno radar system, tied to the GPS, for the Maine legs of the cruising itinerary. My wife and I completed the entire circuit last year, culminating a four-year effort. Some ports were visited more than once. Some legs were shortened by the whims

of Mother Nature; others, by the demands of family and work. Last year we committed to 31 consecutive days, with only one night spent sleeping ashore. After a novice error resulting in a grounding in Boston Harbor in the shakedown summer, no other damage has been suffered by this little lady by our hands. My last day of the final leg of “Sonny’s tour” was also my first-ever solo day – from deep inside Rockland Harbor to Portland. I enjoyed a pristine day on a single point of sail after rounding the light in Rockland. I probably could have purchased a recent vintage Tartan 34 for what I have put into Gemini, but then it wouldn’t have been Sonny’s boat. Richard Gönci Cambridge, Mass.
There really was a Mr. Condon I just finished reading Ronna Benjamin’s article in the September issue (“Seven Mornings in Maine”). Please assure Ronna that there was a real Mr. Condon. When we first started cruising in 1982, we were in Bucks Harbor, moored at the far-eastern end. My 20-year-old two-horse Johnson was giving me fits. So, my two daughters and I “rowed all the way” to the Buck’s Harbor Yacht Club. We climbed the hill to Condon’s Garage. There he was, and, almost as if we were living the story, he checked out the motor and put in a new spark plug, which solved the problem. And then it was off to the store for the obligatory ice cream.
I had a copy of “One Morning in Maine” with me, and now it has Mr. Condon’s signature, with a dedication to Rebecca and Jessie. I don’t expect to be around when they have to decide who will eventually own it. Perhaps shared ownership of six months each year is the best solution. Phil Sargent Yarmouth, Maine
Thanks to two Good Samaritans My wife Joanne and I had just finished a glorious lateafternoon sail out of Wells Harbor, Maine, on a pictureperfect September day. With the wind dying, we reluctantly agreed it was time to head in. But try as I might, I could not get our little outboard started. Luckily for us, our plight was noticed by Charlie Bernier, Jr. and Charlie Bernier, Sr., aboard Sr.’s powerboat, Four Aces. With competence and nonchalance, the two Charlies and their ancient Johnson outboard towed us through the jetties and back to our slip. Thanks, Charlie and Charlie, for being such Good Samaritans.

MYSTERY HARBOR/And th e winner is...
Mystery Harbor a great place to have a boat The Mystery Harbor is Essex Harbor in Essex, Conn. I could tell because of the Connecticut River Museum in the background. I am from Essex and have worked at the Essex Yacht Club for four years. It’s a great place to go boating. Essex Harbor is a special place to me because Essex is my hometown. The harbor is home to a myriad of marinas, yacht clubs, and shipyards, including Essex Yacht Club. I drove the launch at the Essex Yacht Club for four summers in high school and college, so I can recognize most of the boats moored there. Although there are no boats over 50 feet allowed on moorings, there is plenty of dockage available. Essex can be tricky for some skippers: It is on the Connecticut River, and the current is often stronger than the wind. The water is brackish because we are so close to the mouth of the river. There is an anchorage across the river near Knott Island, which is a fun place to go swimming during the day. Essex is home to eagles during the late winter months, osprey, and other birds and wildlife. The village of Essex is beautiful and historical, with the Griswold Inn (the longest continuously running inn in America) and the Connecticut River Museum as must-sees. The Essex Steam Train is another fun activity for families if you can get ashore. For dinner, go to “the Gris” (if you never have), go to Abby’s or Marley’s if you want to eat on the water, and go to the Black Seal if you want to eat with the locals. Essex is a wonderful place to have a boat. Emily Brown Essex, Conn.

Perspectives There’s only one captain of this ship r is there? Surfing down the Atlantic rollers at 8.1 knots, Elsa was like a fat old lady on an amusement park’s waterslide. Half-submerged, whooshing down through the white foam, there was an unmistakable mixture of joy and terror in the scene. But even at 8.1 knots, Elsa must have seemed slow to my friend. As a man who spent his whole career as a commercial airline pilot, Elsa’s romp down the Atlantic swells was, by my calculations, 486.9 knots slower than the average speed my long-time pal was used to. Don’t get me wrong, he also has a few sea miles under his belt. Just enough, anyway, to legitimately question authority. If we reversed roles, however, and put me and my zero flying hours into the First Officer’s seat of a 727 flying into a bad situation, for once in my life I’d shut up. Besides, what would I say? “Maybe you should turn off that annoying flashing light and siren...it’s pretty unnerving, don’t you think Captain?” Weird things always happen when I get near the Isles of Shoals off the New Hampshire coast. This was no different. Remarkably, surfing through our approach to these storied islands, my friend and I were discussing the details of airplane crashes in the 1990s and 1980s. I mentioned Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Outliers” and his chapter on this subject. He highlights several crashes due to the rigid hierarchy of command, the subsequent fear of retribution from subordinates, and the resulting weak, indirect or oblique communications to the captain. One example is a Korean Air flight’s approach to Guam before its fatal crash in extremely poor visibility and the lack of visual appearance of the runway. The First Officer says: “Don’t you think it rains more? In this area, here?” What he means by that is: Captain, You have committed us to visual approach, with no backup plan, and the weather outside is terrible. You think that we will break out of the clouds in time to see the runway. But what if we don’t? It’s pitch-black outside and pouring rain and the glide scope is down. But he can’t say that. He can only hint his advice rather than risk a major breach of authority. His hint isn’t enough to save the lives of 223 people. As we were talking in the cockpit that day off the Isles of Shoals, I glanced to the west at the dark, encroaching clouds of a thunderstorm. We were about a mile out from the harbor and still under full mainsail. We both looked and speculated about whether it would keep coming our
O
way or slide up along the coast. In my mind, I ran through a lot of scenarios about whether or not to drop the sail: new mainsail, so hard to furl; big rolling seas; not sure how well my friend will do on the helm if we round up in these seas and I go forward to try to douse the main; don’t know if I can manage it once we do round up into the seas and it’s half down; maybe it’s safer just to hang on tight to Elsa’s proven sea legs and just scream though it until it blows through – but what about that ledge off the entrance to Gosport Harbor: What if it’s obscured by the squall? And on and on. What my friend was thinking was just one thing: Captain, maybe we should take that big sail down. Instead, we stared and speculated on whether the squall would miss us. It didn’t. “We’re dumping the main,” I said. I went forward as my friend rounded up into the wind and seas. The big, stiff new Dacron mainsail came down like jagged sheets of plastic. Elsa rolled from rail to rail. While wrestling with the main, I stepped on the aluminum boat hook on the cabin house deck, slipped and kicked it over the side, but stayed aboard. Finally, we got squared away and headed into the harbor. We managed to pick up my favorite mooring off Smuttynose Island, despite the lack of a boat hook. Loosened up an hour later by some great Venezuelan sipping rum, the First Officer queried the Captain. Well, sort of. “I was wondering out there,” my friend said, “when you were going to drop the main.” Me, too. Epilogue: Exactly two weeks later – and I’m not making this up – I was returning alone from Maine and picked up the same mooring off Smuttynose Island, was drinking the remains of the same Venezuelan rum, and thinking about the mainsail incident. I glanced out toward the ledge I’d worried about in the squall, just as a 30-foot sloop sailed right up on it. Climbing into the dinghy to see if I could help, I heard a metal bump on my little pram’s hull. It was an aluminum boat hook, nearly identical to the one I’d lost two weeks earlier. I picked it up. The decal said it was made in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where I used to live. Weird things happen to me at the Isles of Shoals.

I almost missed my birthday s the gentle puffs of water-filled exhaust from the sturdy old two-cylinder Volvo Penta faded in the growing distance I felt sorry I wasn’t aboard. I was standing on the busy town dock in Owls Head Harbor while Blue Vayu, the distinctive bathtub-shaped, 32foot Swedish-built Vindo sloop, left me behind. My two daughters had come north to Maine from bustling big cities – Washington, D.C., for Phoebe, and New York for Hilary. They were not only here to sail with my friend Linda and me but, more importantly, to celebrate my birthday. They both had showed up wearing Tshirts proudly pronouncing – in bold, blue letters – Born in Maine, Living in Exile. I could see the three of them topside, loosening the blue sail ties holding the new Pope mainsail I’d helped rig the day before. A few puffy cumulous clouds dotted an azureblue sky that touched the gentle rolling sea just above the Muscle Ridge islands. I heard them cut the engine as they slid by the sturdy lobsterboats in Owls Head Harbor and saw the main billow to port as they picked up the southwesterly breeze on its way from west to east up the Muscle Ridge Channel.
A
All three had been disappointed that I had to stay and work in Owls Head, and I was sad not to be with them, but knew my job would ultimately bring a happy ending for all of us. Job? Some question if I’ve ever considered my employment a job, and look forward to it every day. I am an airplane pilot for Penobscot Island Air, the little airline that has served the islands in Penobscot Bay and beyond under one name or another for 40 years or more. Some of the islands I fly to are Swans, Vinalhaven, North Haven, Islesboro, Bar Harbor, Big Green, Matinicus and Criehaven. Some of the more senior folks who flew to the islands in the good-old days speak fondly of Arthur Harjula, Charlie and Herb Jones, Clint and Hannah Demmons. The flying service is based at Knox County Regional Airport in Owls Head, and is presently owned and operated by Kevin Waters. I have been flying with the island air service for 10 years now, and have enjoyed the flying, the aerial view of the best sailing bay in the world, and, most of all, the passengers. But right now, my lunch break was about over and it was almost time to get back to work. I walked slowly to my car, still wishing I could be on

the Blue Vayu with Linda, Phoebe and Hilary. After driving out of the gravel parking lot – filled to overflowing with pickup trucks from all the lobstermen who were out hauling – I made a right turn down the winding road toward Owls Head Light. Climbing the wooden stairs to the freshly painted lighthouse, I marveled at the breathtaking view of Penobscot Bay and the spruce-covered northeastern point of the Muscle Ridge Channel. Blue Vayu, bucking the current, came into view, the new 135 genoa and mainsail full, sailing wing-and-wing. The full sails steadily powered the boat past the brightly painted lobster buoys and the rock-bound head of Monroe Island. I watched as they slowly sheeted in the main, carefully jibed it over, and eased off to a heading that would put them on a broad reach toward Pulpit Harbor, on the northern shore of North Haven. I hurried back to the airport, parked my car at the

He quickly handed me my dispatch slip for a flight to Matinicus. I would be flying one of the company’s five airplanes, taking two sailors who were joining a boat for a cruise and one of the lobstermen who worked on the island. The Maine State Ferry Service makes only two trips a month to Matinicus, so many visitors take the 12minute flight with PIA. Jim told me this would be my last flight of the day, that Jerry Blandford, another pilot, would fly with me to fly the airplane back to Owls Head after leaving me at Witherspoon’s airport on North Haven, where I’d join Blue Vayu.

We flew on over Little and Large Green islands, flat, grass-covered pancakes, treeless but sanctuary to seabirds that nest on them. At Matinicus, we landed uphill on the rocky runway, with sea spray from the crashing waves blown onto its end. The runway runs from the rocks on the shore 1,700 feet uphill to its far end, which is guarded by a small shed with a sign proclaiming you’ve arrival at Matinicus International Airport. Our passengers deplaned, collected their baggage, shook our hands like old friends, and the sailors thanked us for what they called the most spectacular flight they’d ever experienced. Jerry and I taxied out for takeoff and the 10- minute flight from Matinicus to North Haven. After passing over Hurricane Island, the White Islands, Leadbetter Point, and Fox Island Throfare, we made our downwind approach for a landing into Witherspoon’s Airport. I could see the Blue Vayu moored securely in Pulput Harbor close to the three-masted schooner Victory Chimes. From my bird’s-eye view, I counted 32 other boats of various shapes and sizes, all

nosed into the gentle breeze rippling the water in the harbor. I knew the women on the Blue Vayu had heard the plane as we passed overhead because they were all waving excitedly. By now, Linda had told my daughters their dad would be flown into North Haven, and they would have an island birthday party for me. Linda had made reservations for birthday dinner at Brown’s Coal Wharf restaurant on Fox Island Thorofare, next to the ferry terminal. I lined the plane up with the 900-foot grass runway, guided it to a landing, and braked to a stop close to the road, next to the North Haven Grange building. Dick and Janet Witherspoon, owners of the runway, waved a cheery hello from their back porch overlooking their “airport.” Jerry helped me unload my small bag, got into the pilot’s seat, and taxied for takeoff. I started the short walk from the airport to Pulpit Harbor and was met halfway there by Phoebe, Hilary and Linda, who had taken the dinghy into the wharf and started walking to meet me. My birthday was almost complete, thanks to the flying service. That night I blew out the candles, and went to sleep content and looking forward to sailing the next day.

The bright-orange morning sun rose early with a brilliant shaft of light coming through the galley port, straight into my eyes. The wide double berth was soon converted into the dining-room table, while Phoebe and Hilary still snuggled in their sleeping bags in the V-berth forward. Linda brewed coffee on the alcohol stove, and soon the gentle aroma drifted forward to awaken the sleeping daughters. Bacon, scrambled eggs, and toasted English muffins were the order of the morning to get us ready for the day of sailing ahead. As I sat at the table reflecting on the day before, I thought of the number of times I had flown crewmembers, boat owners, mechanics and others to meet a boat, return from a cruise, travel to make repairs, go to pick up a new boat, and numerous other reasons to travel easily, safely and quickly to or from an island. The air service now has an amphibious Cessna Caravan that can land next to an oceanfront home, a boat
or a dock. Yesterday, I had been the recipient of this wonderful flying service, and it made my birthday a success. We hoisted the main in a light breeze, dropped the mooring, and headed northeast toward Oak Hill and the Watson estate, leaving behind the field that Charles Lindbergh flew into to court Ms. Ann Morrow in another time. Although my flight did not rival Lindbergh’s epoch, daughters Phoebe and Hilary will always remember the day Penobscot Island Air made it possible for their dad to fly to the sailing birthday party, when he almost missed the boat. USCG-licensed Captain Linda Hanson has owned Blue Vayu for 15 years and takes folks for day charters out of Rockland. Airplane captain Brud Folger is a pilot for Penobscot Island Air and loves sailing on Blue Vayu with his three best friends, Linda, Phoebe, and Hilary.

PERSPECTIVE/Capt.
Micha el L . Mar tel
Fall-foliage cruise on Spray aptain Slocum came to mind again last Fall, probably because I had been given a rather unusual boat-delivery job by a yacht broker friend. I was to bring a Bruce Roberts Spray up the Taunton River, in Massachusetts, from a marina in Mount Hope Bay to a boatyard in Dighton, where she would be hauled out for the season. She had just been sold. It would be the second time in the season I had delivered this same boat from one place to another for this particular friend and customer. Bruce Roberts-Goodson is a well-known yacht designer in the United Kingdom who has designed and built many boats inspired by Capt. Joshua Slocum’s original Spray, a derelict oyster dredge similar to the few remaining antique wooden skipjacks on Chesapeake Bay today. Slocum rebuilt Spray and sailed her around the world in 1895, becoming the first person to ever circumnavigate the globe singlehandedly. His subsequent account, “Sailing Alone Around the World,” became a heartwarming classic. But Slocum’s Spray was really a workboat for oyster fishing, sloop-rigged, shoal draft, impossibly
C
beamy (14 feet, two inches). The design is not particularly fast, in my opinion, but the boats are roomy below and good for living aboard or extended cruising. The shallow draft is great for going into bays and rivers, but for blue-water sailing, experts disagree. Roberts referred to Spray as “the ultimate cruising boat,” which is extremely helpful if you are selling Spray-inspired designs. But famed (and controversial) naval historian and architect Howard Chappelle pronounced Spray a horrible boat for going offshore and went so far as to say that the only reason that Slocum and Spray stayed “on top” for so long was because Slocum was an extraordinary mariner. (Editor’s note: As a counterpoint, former Rhode Islander Guy Bernardin, a renowned solo racer, with his wife and 3-year-old son, happily circumnavigated the world in a Spray replica, retracing Slocum’s route in the 1990s.) Some years ago – when I was younger, more idealistic, purist, and clueless – I had the shameless audacity to tell Mr. Roberts-Goodson at a Slocum Society meeting that his Spray designs were hardly

The boat had been built in England in the 1970s or ’80s. Heavy and strong, stable and beamy, she also therefore possessed much inertia: Once she got way on her, she kept going. I had no trouble getting off the dock and out of the shelter of the breakwater and into the blustery bay, but unlike the original Spray, this boat was afflicted with a large tiller. I hate tillers on all but small sailboats. In a large boat they obstruct the cockpit, and they are tiring for any passage lasting more than an hour or two. In any event, now under way, we were about to encounter our first and only real obstacle, the Brightman Street Bridge across the Taunton River. This iron drawbridge was built in 1908, the same year Joshua Slocum disappeared at sea. I do not know if Slocum ever sailed his Spray up the Taunton River. He might have, although there would have been nothing up there for him to see or do. The bridge is low, and I had known in advance that it would have to open for us. I did my homework beforehand and learned that the bridge keeper monitors VHF channels 16 and 13. I tried him on both as we approached the bridge. No answer. Again. No answer. The tidal current was with us, surging us toward the bridge. Fortunately, I had obtained the telephone number for the keeper’s station on the bridge. I gave my wife Denise the number, and she called on her cell phone
(I was busy managing the stubborn tiller), and he answered the phone. He apologized; he’d had the VHF radio volume turned way down. I silently wondered why. Perhaps so that the occasional crackle would not interrupt the midday soap opera on his portable TV, I imagined. He asked Denise what the name of our boat was. Denise looked up, and asked, “What’s our boat’s name?” I thought for a moment. I had not looked at the transom before leaving the dock. “Spray,” I replied, which she relayed. “OK, Spray” he responded, and the bridge began to open. Later at the dock in Dighton, Denise saw that the boat’s name was the Cyndi Jo or something like that. She couldn’t believe that she had given a fake name to the bridge operator. “We had to tell him something,” I said, “He only wanted a name so that he could put it into his log. “It was all I could think of at the moment,” I told her, “And it wasn’t completely a lie.” Our little trip, with the incoming tide, took us much less time than expected. We sailed past lovely, quaint Somerset Village, a well-kept secret, and narrowing riverbanks lined with tall, yellowing eelgrass SPRAY, continued on Page 24

SPRAY, continued from Page 22 and colorful trees shedding their leaves under a deep sapphire sky. We had left a car at the destination boatyard in Dighton, so once we had the boat secured to the floating dock, with ample fenders and springlines set, we reluctantly said good-bye to her. That’s one of the greatest perks of the delivery-captain business; you get a few hours to cruise on someone else’s boat, perhaps on a lovely day, up a river, call it even a ‘fall foliage cruise,’ and you get paid for it all. Denise had packed a picnic lunch, including two personal-sized bottles of wine for after we’d tied up, and we toasted the day, the trip, the autumn, the bittersweet end of the boating season in New England. Before we left the yard, I checked things out below, to make sure that the breakers were off, there was no water in the bilge, and nothing unusual was going on. It was quiet, late-afternoon golden sun slanting in through the cabin portlights, ripples lapping dully against the hull, slap-slap of a loose halyard somewhere above. I peered into the darkness at the starboard quarterberth and chuckled as I remembered a Joshua Slocum exhibit I’d attended at the Whaling Museum in New Bedford. There had been a half-cabin life-size mock-up of Slocum’s aft cabin, complete with a bookshelf, his
Diesel Maintenance Seminars
Martini-Henry rifle mounted on the bulkhead, and a bunk with a straw-filled mattress, thin, covered with white and blue-striped old-fashioned mattress ticking. It had been re-created from Slocum’s own drawings and the illustrations in Sailing Alone. I could not help myself. No others besides my friends and I were there, so I ducked under the ropes, ignored the signs, and climbed into the berth, spending a few moments in Joshua Slocum’s bunk, much to their astonishment. For a moment or two, that was as close to being Captain Slocum as I would ever get. Now, as I looked around at this unkempt cabin in need of real sprucing-up, I wished the old girl good fortune, new life, and many safe sea miles in her future, and I wished much luck and perseverance to her new owner, whoever he or she might be. Then it was time, reluctantly, to go. Capt. Mike Martel lives in Bristol, R.I., where he writes about marine subjects and is restoring, in his free time, his 1930 Alden-designed gaff yawl Privateer.

News Focus camera on seabirds for the SeaBC count If you’re planning a coastal transit or an offshore passage in November, December or January, contribute to the “SeaBC” Sea Bird Count. The SeaBC was created to raise awareness among long-distance cruisers from around the world to record their seabird observations. Research projects such as migration and nesting, climate change, and beach erosion are improved and accelerated by including a larger observation and data-gathering pool. Last year’s inaugural count spanned 100 degrees of latitude, from Maine to Antarctica. This year they’re encouraging mariners to take digital photos of birds seen at sea. Instructions and tally sheets are available at http://tinyurl.com/SeaBC, or at facebook.com/Birding.Aboard, where you also can share your photographs and sightings with other birders in transit. All data goes to Cornell University’s eBird database (www.eBird.org), a worldwide resource for scientists and conservation groups. The SeaBC is a citizen science project organized by eight long-distance birdwatching voyagers from around the world: Diana Doyle on Semi-Local, founder and coordinator (U.S.); Jeanne Socrates on Nereida, advisory board (Great Britain); Beth Leonard on Hawk, advisory board (U.S.;) Katharine Lowrie on Lista Light, advisory board (Great Britain); Brenda Free on Willow, advisory board (U.S.); Wendy Clarke

‘From the Bow Seat’ essay contest The film director of “From the Bow Seat” and the Gulf of Maine Marine Education Association (GOMMEA) invite highschool students to write essays on the interdependence of the rich marine life found in the North Atlantic Ocean, from forage fish to endangered right whales. Prizes for students who write the winning essays are $2,500, $1,500 and $500; the science department of the
first-place winner receives an additional $2,500. Essays may be submitted from the present to June 15, 2013. Essay requirements can be found at www.fromthebowseat.org contest. All film footage can be viewed directly at the website. Educators, including high-school teachers and home-school instructors, may download and print posters and a teacher packet from the site as well. The essay contest is a collaborative effort to increase ocean literacy and student awareness of the Gulf of Maine. GOMMEA, a collaborative of marine educators in Maine and New Hampshire, is partnering with filmmaker Linda Cabot to promote and share the documentary, “From the Bow Seat.” The hourlong film profiles a “voyage of discovery” of a mother and her teenage daughters as they sail along the Maine coast to interview leaders in marine research and conservation. Film clips on the website provide a jumping-off point for student research. FMI: Email Kristie Jochmann at info@fromthebowseat.org.

Mystic Seaport’s employees reject the unionization effort The employees of Mystic Seaport, in Mystic, Conn., have voted down an attempt by AFT Connecticut to organize all non-management employees of the Museum. The vote was 145 to 90. The election was conducted by the National Labor Relations Board in reaction to a petition filed on July 6. “We are very pleased by the outcome of the election,” said Mystic Seaport president Steve White. “By rejecting the union, our employees indicate they want to continue to have a direct, individual relationship with management, and we believe that is the best way for us to work together. This has been a very divisive process for the entire staff, and the next step is to immediately begin the healing process and address the issues and concerns the organizing process brought forward.” FMI: www.mysticseaport.org.
OHPRI challenge grants have a Dec. 31 deadline Before the New Year, Oliver Hazard Perry Rhode Island (OHPRI), the nonprofit organization behind Rhode Island’s official sailing education vessel, SSV Oliver Hazard Perry, hopes to have two new challenge grants matched, which will generate nearly $1.2 million in new contributions. OHPRI Chairman Bart Dunbar stressed the need for timeliness in getting the word out about the matching grants, to encourage people to react before the Dec. 31, 2012 deadline. Given by an anonymous donor, these challenges are meant to encourage contributions from $1,000 to $500,000 to help conclude construction of the Tall Ship for a July 2013 commissioning. Dunbar said the two new challenge grants, called the Plank Owner Challenge (for donors who pledge between $1,000 and $20,000 over two years and the Shipbuilding Syndicate Challenge (for all new donations and two-year pledges between $25,000 and $500,000) give further evidence that people are committed to the project and eager to see it completed. Upon commissioning, the Perry will sail as a 196-foot long, 13½-story Tall Ship offering experience-based education programs. FMI: www.ohpri.org.

Coast Guard warns of hoax SOS calls, risks and liabilities The Coast Guard is calling attention to the dangers and risks of hoax distress calls after launching air and boat crews to respond to a radio transition of a child’s voice making a mayday call late last summer. The call was made in midJuly, with no position or nature of distress, and was received off a Rescue-21 communication tower, part of a system of radio towers and computer software along the U.S. coast that helps determine the location of vessels by radio transmission. The location was narrowed down to potential near Portsmouth, R.I., in Narragansett Bay. An Air Station Cape Cod, Mass., MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter and a Station Castle Hill 45-foot Response Boat-Medium were launched to search for source of the call. Additionally, the Narragansett Bay strike force, a first of its kind mutual aid program between all the fire departments on Narragansett Bay, were notified and launched boats from Warwick, Portsmouth and Providence fire departments. Each asset searched for more than one hour, investing a total of more than five hours of response time and found no vessels or people in distress. The Coast Guard believes this call was a false distress caused by a child playing on the radio. This was the fourth false distress call in the southeastern New England in the previous month. False alerts and hoax calls unnecessarily put first responders in danger, and waste valuable operational hours and cost. The total search efforts associated with this call will be well over $20,000, $10,000 for one hour of helicopter search time and $3,000 each hour per small boat. “Calls like this one can neededitor@pointseast.com

lessly burnout our crews and divert our attention from mariners who are actually in distress.” said Commander Jeannot Smith, Sector Southeastern New England, chief of response operations. Transmitting a hoax call is no minor offence: In 2005, a Massachusetts defendant was charged with twice radioing the Coast Guard from his home, both times claiming to be captain of a fishing vessel taking on water. Both of the defendant’s calls resulted in futile, hours-long searches and deployment of Coast Guard air and marine assets. The defendant pled guilty and was sentenced to 18 months in prison, followed by 36 months supervised release, and was ordered to pay $82,004 in restitution to the U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast Guard urges mariners to teach their children proper radio protocol and alert the Coast Guard if a false distress call is made. FMI www.coastguardnews.com.

Jamestown harbormaster saves a bridge ‘jumper’ The Jamestown, R.I., harbormaster rescued a man who reportedly jumped off the Jamestown Bridge after sundown on Aug. 25. According to a story in the Aug. 27 “Providence Journal,” Sam Paterson was at his home, monitoring his emergency radio, when a dispatch informed that someone had leaped from the center span. Paterson drove to his boat and proceeded to the scene, guided by a police officer on the bridge. After hearing cries for help, he found a man hanging on to the mussel-encrusted west pillar. Paterson reportedly secured the man with a rope, and the Coast Guard puled him aboard one of their vessels. FMI: www.projo.com.

Sokota finishes last – but her name will be on Chowder Cup hen Aug. 4, the day of the annual Chowder Cup race, dawned, it did not look as though any boat was going to have a snappy sail. Winds were initially light and fluky for the 33 boats that showed up to participate in this event. The Chowder Cup was so named because the Last Boat In receives a can of fish chowder as a consolation prize as well as the boat’s name engraved on the Timothy Pickering LBI Memorial Trophy. Class A (28 feet and over) and B (18 to 28 feet) race together, while Class C (18 feet and under) sails an abbreviated course. The first leg of the A-B race, generally a beat to the first mark at Black Island, this year was a straight shot because the prevailing wind came from the south instead of the usual southwest. As our valiant Caledonian does not point well, this was a great relief to her skipper and me. For once, we found ourselves in the first half of the fleet – at least until the first mark. Then we resumed our usual place, exerting maximum effort to fend off receiving the can of chowder. Round Ponders Paul Cunningham and his sons, Will and Toph, dominated the A-B race with Paul’s J/30

Paul was effusive in his praise of Will and Toph’s spinnaker work, which brought their craft in almost 10 minutes ahead of their father. Paul confessed to having put his boat in only the day before (“I had the cleanest bottom in Muscongus Bay”) and not being totally sure he had rigged her correctly, but apparently he had.

The Last Boat In award was hotly disputed among at least three boats, but finally went to Joel Wessel and his 26-foot cutter Sokota. As he and his crew had major trouble getting enough wind to go around the first mark, the committee boat finally took up the mark and brought it to them. “We cheated, we cheated,” Joel insisted, “We are disqualified.” But the race committee decided that they were the ones to disqualify a boat –

With the adjusted times calculated by Ken Dunipace, 1st place in the A class went to 110-year-old Friendship sloop Gladiator, skippered by Bill Hallstein, while Phil and Deborah McKean’s 25-foot sloop Deborah Ann took the award in the B class. Class C did not think this was a light-wind race: Velocity increased markedly near the end of their course, with strong gusts that put skippers and crew through their paces.

by him and his brother, boatbuilder Wesley Lash. This was raffled off and raised over $400, all of which is donated to a scholarship fund for a graduating high school senior from Friendship. The winner was Tim Pickering. Each year there are wonderful stories that come out of this race and its devoted participants. This year center stage belonged to John and Tim Pickering’s new boat, Swallow. According to John, they had bought the double-ender last year, but had not sailed her until this summer. Designed by L. Francis Herreshoff, she is of the Rozinante class, named for Don Quixote’s horse (which is actually spelled “Rocinante”), and was launched about 1962. Neither John nor Tim had any idea of how fast she was, and were stunned when they came in 2nd in class A. Swallow’s predecessor had been the venerable 30foot ketch Pippa, which their father for years proudly sailed to last place (hence the Timothy Pickering LBI Memorial Trophy). As a matter of fact, she had been so slow in rounding the first mark in 2005 that the committee boat that year upped and brought it to them, just as with Sokota. What had happened to Pippa I asked John? When Wesley Lash looked at her rotting bottom last fall, he seriously advised Tim and John not to sail her any longer. They sold her for $1 to fellow Friendship resident Gary Lehy, who, in turn, sold her to a man in

shots carving up Narragansett Bay waters in J/22s. But one of the more popular celebrations in the City by the Sea – appealing not only to those who sail, but also to artists, historians, romantics, and those who have read the adventures of Conrad, Bligh, Shackleton, and Melville – is any festival involving the Tall Ships. The 2012 Ocean State Tall Ships Festival July 6-9 drew crowds of people, who walked up gangplanks, snapped photos from the shore, and circled Newport Harbor in their boats while enjoying near perfect summer weather. “Tall Ships” are usually defined as large, traditionally rigged sailing vessels. The name is thought to have originated in John Masefield’s evocative poem, “Sea Fever.” The sight of these large and majestic sailing vessels takes one back to the time when the waters around present-day Newport only sheltered Tall Ships propelled by the wind. Verrazzano explored the area with his little caravel in 1524; swift ships – owned by the likes of some of Rhode Island’s Brown brothers – unloaded goods from Europe and China at local wharves along with the sad human cargo that was part of the nefarious Triangle Trade. Aquidneck Island waters were also traversed by the British revenue cutter, Gaspee, which met its demise up the bay, as one of the first Crown ships to be destroyed in the years leading up to the Revolutionary
War. The French sailing fleet under Admiral comte d’Estaing, so instrumental in the ultimate defeat of the British, anchored in areas of Newport Harbor now occupied by moorings for recreational boaters, longrange cruisers and occasionally some of today’s larger Tall Ships. We cannot go back in time to witness the Golden Age of Sailing. However, we could get a pretty good idea of what things were like, in another era, aboard oceangoing vessels engaged in exploration, naval operations and commercial trade. We could do this by visiting the Tall Ships that came to Newport as part of the Tall Ships Challenge Festival that commemorated the bicentennial of the War of 1812. The Tall Ships Challenge was organized by Newport-based Tall Ships America (TSA). This year the races began in Savannah, then proceeded to Charleston, and Greenport, Long Island, before coming to Newport, which hosted 13 boats and their crews. The Tall Ships gatherings cycle from the Atlantic coast to the Great Lakes, and then on to the Pacific coast in successive years. Hosting such a complex event is a monumental responsibility for the local community as well as for Tall Ships America. The details associated with berthing, directing tourists, parking, shuttles, receptions, provisioning, vendors, and so on, present a formidable chal-

its own way.” Peacemaker was built on the shores of a Brazilian river by an Italian family that used tropical hardwoods and traditional marine-construction methods. The 150-foot vessel has a mission of promoting peace with both our Creator and one another. It also provides opportunities for young people to learn practical navigation, sailing, seamanship and ship maintenance. It is operated by the Twelve Tribes religious community and is home-ported in Savannah. Zakar Mueller has been the chief engineer aboard Peacemaker since 2004. “My job is to keep everything working on Peacemaker without anybody noticing that I am doing it,” he said. His various skills allow him to maintain and repair auxiliary engines, rebuild generators or even fabricate new spars out of assorted spare pieces of lumber like he had to do when a vicious squall wreaked havoc on the rigging. The 110-foot Unicorn, berthed at Newport Yacht Club, has one unusual trait: an all women crew. It is home to the well-regarded program called Sisters Under Sail, which has a mission of building confidence and enhancing self-esteem while developing a social conscience and teaching the benefit of teamwork through sail training. Says Sisters executive director, Dawn Santamaria, “We run all women all the time.” One of the truly in-
novative programs aboard Unicorn this summer is one that recruited the daughters of deployed military personnel and provided them with an expenses-paid experience. According to Dawn, “The character, work ethic and tenacity of these youngsters were truly remarkable.” To keep the young women fully engaged during their seagoing experience, all cell phones are taken away from them upon boarding the ship. The young sailors are often taken out of their comfort zones by such challenges as climbing high into the rigging. Of the various experiences Julianne Sitler of Cranford, N.J., said, “We learn a lot of things here – a lot of them even more important than sailing.” Every ship in Newport had its own story, and visitors were educated and enchanted by what they saw, heard and felt as they trod the decks and exchanged greetings with the crews. The Ocean State Tall Ships visit culminated in a parade of sail that took the fleet from the inner harbor, under the Pell Bridge to Gould Island, and then back under the bridge to Rhode Island Sound. The ships then set sail for the final leg of the Tall Ships Challenge, which would bring them to Halifax, Nova Scotia, on July 18. Greg Coppa Newport, R.I.

St. George Sailing: Another incomparable Maine sailing year njoying another summer of incomparable Maine weather, 77 young sailors, ages 9 to 15, advanced their sailing and seamanship skills this summer in Tenants Harbor, celebrating the 12th year of the St. George Community Sailing Foundation. Operating for a fourth year from Blueberry Cove Camp, a part of the Tanglewood 4-H Camp and Learning Center, in Lincolnville, Maine, and the University of Maine Extension System, the foundation again offered six weeks of instruction, from July 9 through August 17, split into three two-week sessions. Beginning and younger sailors worked the waters of Tenants Harbor in the mornings from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, while the older and more advanced juniors fine-tuned their racing skills and learned more about seamanship and navigation from 1 to 4 p.m. The instruction team was headed by Will Gibney, a senior at Bates College and resident of New York City, and he was assisted by Henry Birdsey, of Ripton, Vt.; Jaime de Benito, of Santander, Spain; Cam RuffleDeignan, of Winchester, Mass.; and Jack Hupper, of Concord, Mass., all graduates of the program. The juniors sailed and raced in the foundation’s 12 Hunter 90 dinghies (nine-foot catboats), four 420 14foot sloops, and three larger sloops. The afternoon

Also, the foundation imposes a respect for our water environment and Maine’s nautical history, to junior sailors from Port Clyde, Tenants Harbor, Wiley’s Corner, Spruce Head, and the islands of Muscongus Bay. The directors of the Foundation include Steve Lindsay, president; Marney Hupper, vice president; Deanna Smith, secretary; Felix Kloman, treasurer; and Jon Downing, Kelly Del Frate, Gayle Elfast, Bill Deignan, Chuck Paine, and, ex officio, David Schmanska, the St. George Harbormaster, and Wayne Judkins, the St. George Parks and Recreation director.

“Students are often faced with things they don’t know anything about, which can be very intimidating,” said Bush. “As a teacher and an administrator, I know what I’m doing when I’m telling other people what to do. It’s good to step back and be the one that doesn’t have a clue and has to figure it out.” Bush added that she sees her school using this education platform for a variety of different subjects: “There was a lot of problem solving and math involved onboard. For example, the angles we have to measure, how far off certain boats are when we’re on watch or on lookout, and even the degrees you are turning when you’re at the helm.” The Greene School’s math teacher, Adam Cherko of North Kingstown, developed a new outlook on education-at-sea programs and the friendships that can be forged when working together as a team in close quarters. “In any situation, you always come in with a particular expectation or a certain mindset, and even if you’re open to things, you still have preconceived notions,” said Cherko, adding that, right off the bat, Gazela’s Capt. Richard Bailey (who will eventually command the Perry) cited the rule of priorities aboard: ship first, shipmates second, self last. “At first, I wasn’t sure what it would be like,” said Cherko, “working alongside other teachers and crew day-in and day-out, but by relying on somebody else to make sure that a rope doesn’t slip or your hand doesn’t get caught, you develop such a relationship and a love for each other, which I didn’t expect in five days. I think it’s incredible!” To view a video documentary of the five-day education-at-sea passage, through the eyes of Salve Regina University’s Dr. Kathy Vespia, visit http://vimeo.com/channels/374841.

NGPAGES Ker 40 Catapult wins Ida Lewis race IRC
Mark Glimcher’s Catapult passes Fort Adams on her way to winning the IRC Class.
Ideal sailing conditions – a 16- to 18-knot southwesterly breeze – allowed the 26 boats competing in the 2012 Ida Lewis Distance Race (ILDR), out of Newport, R.I., to power up on Aug. 17, and provide a show for those who watched them depart on their offshore adventure. The IRC, PHRF and PHRF Doublehanded fleets were sent on the 122-mile Nomans course, while the two boats racing in the PHRF Cruising Spinnaker class took on the 103-mile Buzzards Tower course.

IDA LEWIS, continued from Page 49 with about a minute lead on the rest of the IRC fleet, and held on to take line honors just before 6:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. “This race was fantastic,� said Geoff Ewenson (Annapolis, Md.), the navigator on Catapult. “They made a very good decision in shortening the course to a 122-miler. It really allowed all of the IRC boats to race reasonably tightly, and there was everything to the race without the extra 25 or 30 or 40 miles.� For their efforts, Catapult and crew collected the Ida Lewis Distance Race Commodore’s Trophy for the IRC Photo by Meghan Sepe win, along with the perpetual Russell L.

AIR, continued from Page 48 and racing lessons. Race director Art Hall confirmed no government marks are used, simply the rock and spruce trees defining Islesboro. This event is paired with the Rockland Yacht Club Solstice Race in June to determine the PenBay Cup, decisively won by Rockland this year (again). Five boats retired, with the 20 to 25 knots winds dominating the longer east-side-of-the-island course. Even with no rain, dew on the eyeglasses and intermittent fog, made navigating a chore. The peripheral effects of a distant hurricane’s five-foot seas made hobbyhorse steering a required skill on the east side. Once again, a full day of varied conditions made for a challenging romp around the island. Line honors and first overall on corrected time, went to George Hazelton with his J/35 Hiliho. “Clubhouse Deck Honors” – a long held tradition of giving the last boat to finish a rousing cheer – went to Mike Rolnick with his Morgan 25 Happy Face (last to finish, but with a smile). With 12 boats in Cruising Class, Burt Keenan took the hardware on his custom Ketch Acadia from Camden. The single Multihull, Irish Lady, was force to withdraw. Two Single-Handed souls rounded the rock, with first going to Resolute, a J/122 skippered by Scott Miller from Blue Hill. The largest class, Racing Class A, was won by George Hazelton’s J/35 Hiliho from Rockport while Racing Class B was won by Gust Stringos with his Morris Justine 36, Bluebird, from Rockland. The Around Islesboro Race is held each year on the Saturday after Labor Day. For full race results visit: www.northportyachtclub.org www.pointseast.com

Local skippers claim the overall at Marblehead’s NOOD Regatta At long last favorable winds arrived for the final day of the NOOD Regatta, resulting in the most actionpacked day of the entire 123rd Annual Marblehead Race Week. With each class completing multiple finalday races, Bight Me, from the Rhodes 19 class, executed masterful tactics on the Massachusetts Bay course, secured the title of overall winner. Co-skippers were Charlie Pendleton and Jim Raisides. “It’s been a long week with the weather not always cooperating.” said the Marblehead-based skippers. “We faced a lot of depth and well-rounded crews and had to overcome very stiff competition.”
As the overall winner in Marblehead, both skippers will be invited to participate in the Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Championship Regatta in the British Virgin Islands aboard Sunsail 44i’s against the other overall winners in the 2012 series. Also excelling in Marblehead were Boat of the Day winners: Mohotta Mobetta (Rhodes 19, Kim Pandapas); Gypsy (IOD, Bruce Dyson/Norm Cressy); and Circe’s Cup (J/105, Ric Dexter). The distinction is awarded to the top-performing boat each day, with skippers receiving pairs of 7 x 50 Steiner binoculars. For complete results, visit www.sailingworld.com.

Rob Crane, from Darien, Conn., was born to the racing scene. “My father Jim was president of North Sails in the 1980s and was a very competitive yacht racer.” He says he was introduced to sailing before he could talk, let alone walk. As with Moore, Crane started sailing Optimists and rapidly became competitive. “I race Lasers because there is so much parity between racers. Thanks to the parity in the field, almost anyone can win.” Crane also played lacrosse, soccer and Photo by Mick Anderson/US Sailing ice hockey: He enjoys the physicality of a Olympian Rob Crane, from Darien, Conn., appears relaxed and right at home sport. “Blasting along in 20 knots of wind in the Olympic Laser Class competition. for an hour, my heart rate can be at 160 beats per minute for the entire time.” OLYMPIANS, continued from Page 49 Moore is on 49ers for a similar reason: “The boats almost useless, wheelchair-bound, he found his way are the Formula 1 racing cars of sailing: The more it into sailing during his career at Goldman Sachs. “In blows, the faster it goes” 1996, I was on vacation in Newport, and someone inIn a good wind, as expected in Weymouth, the coach, vited me to go sailing.

losophy of “why not” far more rewarding than making rich people richer. This is his third Paralympic campaign, his last stymied by pressure sores that, rather than let him play at the highest level, left him bedridden for two years. Brown is also on his third campaign. He was due to trial for the 2000 Sydney Olympics when on impulse he tried out for the Paralympic team. “I came fifth at the Olympic trials, but was already going to Australia,” he laughs. Brown points out that going for international glory isn’t just about getting on a boat and sailing. Much of your time is spent getting the funds to pay for the best training and equipment. This part took so much time that when Callahan asked him to be part of the current campaign as crew of his Sonar, Brown would only do it if Callahan raised the funds. “Paul has a good fundraising operation as part of Sail to Prevail, so was happy to take this role on.” Crane wishes there was more support from the state at early stages of a racing career: “Great Britain and Australia, notably, support sailors long before they’re Olympic material. This is a reflection of our different systems of government, but with such support you spend less time competing for sponsorship and more time competing at sailing.”
All four are full-time sailors. Even at Paralympic level, this is a prime requirement these days. Brown teaches sailboat racing at Maine Maritime Academy, and in their time off, Moore and Crane end up advising future Olympic sailors. The first founding principle of the Olympics states: ”Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy of effort, the educational value of good example, social responsibility and respect….” If you’re a 12-yearold reading this – or a recently disabled person trying to turn your life around – what advice would these guys give in a nutshell, to achieve what they have? Callahan says simply, “Call me. I’ll share everything I have with them for no compensation.” Moore says, “To a 12-year-old? Be a 12-year-old. It is far too early to give the level of commitment you need to compete for the Olympics. Enjoy sailing, but don’t worry when you fail. It is about how you get up. Learn from your failures and get up quickly.” Crane agrees: “You should sail because you enjoy it, not because of a goal. Work on your skills, and enjoy it, but don’t look too far ahead.” He warns that “an Olympic campaign is a full-time commitment – long hours, missing parties and hanging out with friends. It isn’t about sailing one day and being on the podium the next!”
Briefly Winthrop’s Talbot wins Flip Flop Class D
Marion-Bermuda Race June 14, 2013
Congratulations to Winthrop Yacht Club’s Jeff Talbot and crew for sailing the 33-foot Tartan 10 Tachy (PHRF 132) to 1st place in Class D at the 10th annual Flip Flop Regatta, Aug. 10-11. The Flip Flop Regatta is arguably Boston’s most popular and coveted PHRF race and event. Thanks to Jeff’s consistent racing skills and finish placements, WYC remains a club to contend with. “We won our division by 11 seconds. Jeff said. “The 2nd-place boat was a 53-foot sloop (rating 42) (Greg Nourjian’s Blue Pigeon Too) and coming on strong. I think if the finish line were 50 yards farther. he would have passed us and won. FMI: http://flipflopregatta.com.
Consider putting the Marion Bermuda Race on your 2013 list of new adventures. Racing 645 miles to Bermuda is a big deal. The Gulf Stream and all of its nuances, the approach to Bermuda, and even the finish line, are challenging. But unlike some other races, which can be over-the-top competitive, Marion Bermuda has always tried to focus on Family, Friends and Fun. Delightfully, it is only coincidence that the 2013 race starts on Father’s Day, June 14. Many families introduce their teens to the satisfaction of ocean racing and passagemaking in Marion Bermuda, which has a mentoring program that assigns a mentor to prepare you, your crew and your boat for the race to Bermuda.

The Leight found no shortage of drama, beauty and things to do in a long stay at the Mud Hole on Great Wass Island in farDowneast Maine
Nine days in the Mud Hole here are many beautiful emerald coves along the rugged Downeast coast that are easier to go to than to leave, and putting to sea after an overnight visit is often attended by a certain wistfulness because they are possessed of an allure a few hours can’t seem to satisfy. Three days into my annual cruise, I’d passed by countless of them, thinking I’d pay a call on the way home, and the next thing I knew Petit Manan lighthouse was abeam and I’d be having dinner in Canadian waters if I kept at it. A Maine summer is much too precious to be handled carelessly, and I decided to slow my pace as the Leight rushed up the shore of Great Wass Island, bound for the Mud Hole. The anchor was barely down and the sails yet to be furled when torrents of rain and wind raked the watery defile. Retreating to the cabin, hardly having time to take a breath, suddenly I was free of the cares of wind, seas, boat husbandry, and much else but the moment:

the gray and green of it, tumbling clouds, flashes of lightning and peals of thunder I could feel in my chest. Afterward. I stood under the dodger, rain drops pattering down, watching as a cool edge of breeze came southeast, promising fog. The water turned a silky silver ,and the Mistake Island horn sounded a doleful plaint. Morning came deaf with fog, not a breath of air stirring, the world reduced a mercurial splash of water close aboard and pale margin of ragged spruce to starboard. The Leight’s snug interior, with its flickering lantern, was an island within, and reminded me of Thoreau’s description of his modest quarters, which seemed larger, being remote from neighbors. I made French toast for breakfast, looked out to the gauzy world, read a chapter of Maurice Griffith’s “Magic Of The Swatchways,” looked out again and cast about what to make of the hours, when I realized that it was nearly two o’clock. What a lovely thing to lose track of time. editor@pointseast.com
The next day I put my bicycle together, loaded it into the dinghy, landed, bushwhacked to a road close by, and set off down a narrow lane. The Beals Island and Jonesport waterfronts streamed by like a movie. Plain houses of fisher families, washing on the line, a lady working in her vegetable garden waved, and a knot of folks chatting outside the post office. Stopping to gather a few stores, I found the local IGA stocked halfpound Hershey bars – a benchmark of a civil culture if there ever was one. Talked to two young men at the town dock. They wanted to be left alone to fish without all the rules, raise a little hell if they felt like it, and be taken seriously. With a partly cloudy forecast on the third day, I tossed a sandwich, jug of water, and a giant chocolate bar in my backpack and struck out along the Mud Hole Trail. I can’t remember what I did next. Maybe it was the afternoon when I bought a bucket of the sweetest clams ever from a digger working the mud a few boat lengths from the sloop. Or perhaps it was the rainy day I never left the cabin, listened to a book on tape, and spent a few hours writing. It was a bucolic scene that made expressing ideas fun. Imagine what sort of rubbish you’d be forced to read if the editor was harrying me about deadlines as he often does. And I was not done with the Mud Hole.

Latest Alerion can be a fast overnight cruiser Pearson Marine Group, of Warren, R.I., has informed us that orders are in hand, and Hull No. 1 has already been demolded (all Alerions are SCRIMP-molded), for their latest new model, the Alerion 41. Alerion Yachts has been in the forefront of the popularity of the socalled “gentlemen’s daysailer.” But this powerfullyrigged sloop has a full accommodations plan and standing headroom, both of which extend daysailing into comfortable overnight cruising. The Alerion 41 has a deck plan and rig that, the builder says, can be safely and easily managed singlehanded. All controls are led to the helm position, and pushbutton reversible electric winches facilitate sail adjustments. The full-roach mainsail with full-length battens is stowed with lazy jacks, while the roller jib includes a jib boom, so the Alerion 41 can be under way fast. Control lines are led under-deck, the anchor chute and windlass are below the foredeck, and the stern swim and boarding steps are concealed. Beneath classic topsides is a modern underbody, with fin keel and spade rudder. Below, a master stateroom is forward, and a guest stateroom is aft to starboard. Both settees in the saloon, are long enough to serve us single berths, with a navigation area located on the aft end of the starboard

FINAL
PASSAGES/T h ey
Dr. Edmund B. “Ned” Cabot 69, Belmont, Mass.
Cabot, 69, a lifelong sailor, drowned Sept. 1 off the coast of Newfoundland, when a rogue wave swept him from his yacht, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said today. He was on the final leg of a journey he and friends had pursued over the past seven summers on his sloop, Cielita, that had taken them from Nova Scotia through Greenland, Iceland and Scotland to the coast of Norway. The retired surgeon, sailing with two friends, reportedly set out along the Newfoundland coast in winds that neared gale force, and the winds were said to increase in velocity during the day. He was about 200 miles from the end of his long journey, when he came on deck to relieve the helmsman. The wave struck the boat, knocked it on its side, and swept Cabot into the sea. He was a founding board member of Sailors for the Sea, a strong contributor to the Sea Education Association, and a volunteer at the Grenfell Mission in Labrador. Those who went on passage with Dr. Cabot
will b e missed
often described him as “the most careful and responsible sailor they ever met.”
Helen K. Ingerson 89, Penfield, N.Y.
Mrs. Ingerson, 1996 recipient of U.S. Sailing’s most prestigious award, the Nathanael G. Herreshoff Trophy for outstanding contributions to the sport of sailing, passed away on Aug. 25. Her late husband, Joseph P. Ingerson, introduced her to sailing, and, next to him, it became her greatest passion in life. Helen was an active member and officer of Rochester (N.Y.) Yacht Club, and with Joe, initiated the Platinum Point Yacht Club in Punta Gorda, Fla., where she served as commodore. Helen was known worldwide for her commitment and dedication to the sport of sailing. She was a competitor, a senior race Officer, and judge for Newport-based US Sailing, an International Sailing Federation Judge, and a leader of other sailing organizations including the Great Lakes Yacht Racing Association. She was a pioneer for women in sailing, running racing clinics for women, and being at the forefront at the inception of women’s events such as the International Women’s Keelboat Championship, the Women’s Open and the Adams Cup at the national level.

the Portland Yacht Club. With a long target date, we were able to meet several times for dinner to plan on pulling off this cruise in company. This article deals with how we planned the trip – from weather, postal deliveries, oil changes along the way, and computers, to how we decided where to stay every night. Daily routine: The trip took nine and a half months, calling for a routine for both boats to be comfortable. We decided to cover 50 miles a day, leaving at 7 a.m. or 6 a.m., depending on the time changes, so we were both up at dawn as the Jordan’s had to take care of Kieno first and then be ready to leave at about 7 a.m. or sunrise. Traveling during most of the morning put us at our predestined marina usually around noon. Once we had taken care of the boats and Kieno, we were ready to go out for lunch and exploring. In some areas, we stayed two days and rented a car to take in the museums, gardens, and shopping for local Tervis mugs. At last count, we’d toured 60 museums and/or gardens, including Williamsburg, St. Augustine, and Key West. Weather: This, of course, was the big deciding factor, even on the first day as we got caught in a wind and tide situation that made us return to our moorings and then leave on the 13th. Having a Verizon smart phone – with a Weatherbug Elite ap and Marine Weather Pro
by Bluefin ap – really helped as we were stuck in Long Island awaiting calmer seas in the Atlantic before we could travel down to Atlantic City. The phone allowed us to plan on the best weather window in which to leave as we could not depend on TV weather where we were moored, at the Great Kills Yacht Club, Staten Island, N.Y. The weather ap also helped us predict the waves in Albemarle Sound, N.C. before we crossed (early in the morning is the best) and a great comfort when we were caught in between the tornado outbreaks during Spring 2011 as we could see the movement of the squall lines across North Carolina. Mail: Now that was a problem we both solved but with totally different methods. We rented a large post office box and had our mail transferred there without having to do a change of address. A generous friend, David, went to the post office every month and culled through all of the fan mail (trash) and pulled out the most important stuff, which he sent on to us. Before we left, we changed as much as we could to paperless, which cut down on the mail needing to be forwarded. Then, whenever we were going to be somewhere for a day or two, we called David and had him overnight mail (e.g., FedEx, UPS) that needed attention, plus birthday and Christmas cards. It worked well, and it was nice to receive things from home. Rose

and Jerry used a similar procedure, with his brother picking up mail, scanning the most important items, emailing them to us and doing an occasional mail drop. Oil changes: This was an experience. Jerry had enough oil to do his two changes on board, but we had to go to Walmart to buy Rotella Oil by Shell (16 gallons per change). It almost became hoarding: Every Walmart was a magnet drawing Bob in with deep discounted prices on oil. We hired taxis to take us out for the precious liquid, rented cars, or pulled it in our pullcart. Then we’d have to dispose of the white containers. Both boats were successful in changing their oil without a mishap. Provisioning: And while we are talking about shopping, we did do some shopping in Walmart for food, but our first choice was Publix, which prompted our first question when we docked at the daily marina: “Do you have a Publix, and how far?” Their produce was excellent, meat great, and general selection terrific. Plus the stores were all generally organized in the same way, so it was easy to find what we wanted. Since we had to hoof it most of the time, we didn’t do a lot of impulse shopping and overload our pull cart. Publix is found throughout the south, but when we started traveling south and had to remain in Long Island due to weather (nine days), the only shop we could find was a Russian grocery store; thank goodness for labels with pictures on them. Computers: Laptop computers were necessary. We bought a Verizon AirCard and had great reception everywhere. It was nice to keep up with people at home and family via email, plus I did a travel log as we went down and back. My digital camera worked very well: It was nice to take pictures and post them to everyone the same day via email. Jerry was dependent on the daily marina having WiFi. In terms of getting online, some were very good and some kind of iffy. The AirCard, although expensive, was a great way to track bill paying and for those down times when making a conONBOARD, NO DETAIL HAS BEEN LEFT UNEXPLORED.

nection with friends along the way was a great morale booster. Marinas: We tried to be very flexible as to where to stay but as moorings are not an option except at local yacht clubs which we used several times, we did plan to anchor out a lot. We soon learned with Kieno that marinas with slips and floating docks were the best option for getting the dog on and off (she was a great traveling companion; never barked the whole trip) – and sometimes for Suzy, who was having shoulder issues. Most were well serviced with showers, WiFi, and floating docks. We did discover the term “floating dock” had a wide variety of interpretations. Floating docks were expensive, they are usually $1.50-$2 a foot, not always available, and the depth of the water beneath them could vary. One marina had floating docks and could put us right next to each other because, as we found out when we arrived after a rough entrance into Atlantic City, they only had two slips. Their ad in the cruising guide was beautiful, but they were located in a not-too-nice section of town and no showers. So much for glossy photos. At Cape May, we were told we’d be right next to each other again, but they forgot to tell us that the slips were dry at low tide. Thank goodness high tide was at 7 a.m., and thanks to our smart-phone ap for the tide info. We made it out and up the Delaware Bay. There was also a “resort” in the Keys (be careful of the word “resort”) with a lovely glossy aerial photo of palm trees, boats at their dock, and travelers enjoying the Bahama Mamas on the deck. This “resort” also had floating docks, tied to the pilings, which made it challenging to disembark. And on further investigation, we found showers with no hot water and no WiFi. Pelicans were the only travelers enjoying the deck. In the middle of nowhere, we found a tiny marina that was mostly a fishing camp with two slips with floating docks. The electrical outlets on the docks were long extension cords duct-taped to two-by-fours that stuck out of the water, attached to the dock. But this

Docks are provided for free, but you may have to raft with four or five boats, depending when you arrive. This was a great way to get together and share the experiences of the day dodging debris in the water. So what was the Intracoastal Waterway like? It is shallow and pretty well marked but not to be taken lightly: A couple of times the depthsounder read zero under keel. It is well traveled, and we saw many boats two or three times along the Waterway. We used the Internet for updates on various cruising websites as to shoaling and movement of buoys. One or two boats were aground in New Jersey and North Carolina, and in Georgia we could have grounded on many spots, but with a little planning and diligence on both boats, we only stirred up mud. But the greatest part of the trip was seeing a part of the East Coast you would not normally see in a car. There are lots of little towns and big towns with all kinds of attractions, but it was the sleepy little towns like Georgetown, S.C., we enjoyed the most, especially when looking for bakeries, ice cream, and a bookstore and hearing the local lore during carriage rides. Annapolis is another town not to be missed, in addition to St. Michael’s on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake. The winter was spent in Marathon, Fla., Alliance in the town mooring field and Saraday at a slip. We rented a car once a week and saw every museum and animal park between Key Largo and Key West. After six weeks, we moved the boats to Fort Myers, going around the tip of Florida and negotiating the 20-odd bridges to get past Miami. At Fort Myers, we walked to all the attractions, including a Red Sox game. We started to trek home in March, retracing our steps, except we bypassed Miami by going across Lake Okeechobee to Stuart and Fort Pierce. The trip was a once in a lifetime experience according to both boats. Many of the boats we met were on a direct route to the Bahamas or doing the Great Loop and were concerned about time. Most of them anchored out and ate aboard, which saved money. Since we were not on a tight schedule, we sampled the local fare. So would we do it again? Well, we probably couldn’t afford it, but we are certainly glad we did it when we did. We highly recommend the ICW cruise to those who wants to stop and smell the roses. Bob and Suzy, retired Verizon corporation pilot and retired biology teacher, respectively, have been boating in Maine off and on for about 30 years in various sailboats and one powerboat.

First release in late summer 2003, Hurricane Rum was introduced during the Hurricane season. This was done in honor of the awesome storms that cause havoc from the Keys to Nantucket. Our rum is slightly over-proofed to match the strength of nature's fury.
It is aged in bourbon casks imparting a wonderful golden color and distinctive whiskey flavor. Hurricane Rum is truly small batch and difficult to find. Ask for it wherever you buy spirits, and please enjoy with friends in moderation.
