To our dear friends...

A year ago Oct. 29, Superstorm Sandy made landfall near Brigantine, N.J., as what the National Hurricane Center called “a post-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds” that slammed the Northeast with deadly wind, rain, snow and tidal surges. Sally Small wrote this letter to friends after the storm departed.

This was a vacation?

Rough seas, head winds and a medical emergency highlighted this cruise in company to Nantucket aboard the 34-foot Sea Ray Express HalfMine, but gosh-darn-it, they made it through Woods Hole.

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.

Gunkholing Gunkhole n. A shallow, protected sailing area, deep enough for sailing, protected enough for pleasant anchoring. The term dates from at least 1908, when G. S. Wasson used it in “Home from the Sea” to describe pejoratively a small fishing village.

– “The Sailor’s Illustrated Dictionary” by Thompson Lenfesty with Capt. Thompson Lenfesty, Jr.

In the ensuing years, while I never reached St. Paul Island, I did practice the art of gunkholing in the unmarked channels of New England’s serpentine estuaries, winding around sandbars, mudflats, mussel beds, and granite ledges to seek a quiet anchorage. And I once sought refuge from a northeast gale in the lee of Northeast Utilities Millstone Nuclear Power Station in Waterford, Conn.

The legacy of a famed solo sailor At McGlathery Island, just east of Merchant Row, Maine, this circa-1918 Seagoer yawl headed out on a calm summer’s day. This particular boat is, for some reason, four feet shorter than the home-built (reportedly for $1,000) 34-foot Seagoer, named Islander, that Harry Pidgeon sailed around the world. Pidgeon, born on an Iowa farm in 1869, was the second person to sail around the world alone (1921-1925), after Joshua Slocum.

W.R. Cheney Lady’s Island, S.C.

I read each issue of Points East, cover to cover, and thoroughly enjoy it, but the September issue has an article, “Cruising with Kayaks� by Judith Johanson, that really resonated with me. We have a Coastal 27, Prime Time, and even though we live in New Jersey and keep her here, we have done much the same cruise.

With the considerable help of Dave Perry, the man behind the Coastal line, I put together a “Genesis & Lineage of Prime Time.� This has resulted in being able to identify, by hull number & current owner, about half of the approximately 30 boats that were built.

Therefore, I would very much like to be able to ask Judith what the hull number is of her Coastal 27, Whimbrel, and also if she has the history of who owned her and when. All of which is a long way of saying that I would sincerely appreciate it if you could please put me in touch with Judith. Thank you, and please keep this great magazine coming.

Reunited with Judith Johanson What a treat to read Judith Johanson’s article, “Cruising with Kayaks,� in the September Points East.

Judy and her husband Brad taught me to drink coffee – black, the only real way to drink coffee, they told me – when I was in high school.

He was my geometry teacher at South Portland (Maine) High School, and their children, who later crewed for them, were toddlers. Brad helped my family build a little boat in the basement. This was back in the early 1960s. I had lost track of them since, and was delighted to read about their sailing adventures.

Hats off to Judy and Vicki for carrying on the family tradition. Please pass along my warm regards to Judy.

Perspectives Let the lower lights be burning Let the lower lights be burning! Send a gleam across the wave!

Eager eyes are watching, longing, for the lights, along the shore.

Trim your feeble lamp, my brother, some poor sailor tempest tossed, Trying now to make the harbor, in the darkness may be lost.

Philip P. Bliss, pub.1871 e was up before the rest of the family that first morning of our stay in the log cabin that faced northeast and clung to the ledges on this magical island in Salem Sound. He and his sister slept on the two couches in the rustic living room with its iron wood stove and small drop-leaf table by the four windows open wide to the sounds and smells brought up from the crashing northeast swell.

Who knows how well the children slept that night in their strange and wondrous new surroundings, as all night, with perfect regularity, the swath of the lighthouse’s broad beam invaded the living room and then departed just as suddenly, as if some flashlight-wielding giant was searching, searching, searching for a little boy and little girl. The giant seemed even closer when the noise came in the days to follow as the fog rolled in: BOOWAAAAAH, BOOWAAAAAH, BOOWAAAAAH came the great lighthouse’s moan.

But there was no fog that first night, and the next day dawned bright and clear as I awoke from a little boy’s excited tug on my arm. “Dad, Dad, Mom, Mom, get up, get up. Get up and see that giant monster. It’s coming out of the sea,” 5-year-old Nicky said. And there it was, a beautiful sun rising out of the sea from the east. Only the top half was showing as I sat up and looked out the window of the tiny bedroom where Mary Kay and I slept.

“Get your little sister up to see it, too,” said my immediately bright-eyed wife.

“Yikes,” I said, “it’s getting bigger, coming our way.

Maybe we should make a run for it, hide behind the lighthouse.”

Instead, Nicky stared, mesmerized for a few moments, as we watched the sun emerge from the sea.

Then he cocked his head and gave me that confident,

knowing look of a soon-to-be kindergartner.

“Dad, I think what it is, well, it’s only the sun, but it just fell down a bit last night and is getting up.”

“Oh,” I said.

“Anyway, it’s almost time to meet Mr. Moser to raise the flag at the lighthouse,” he continued, already on to the next adventure. “He said to meet him up there to help. I’ll get Alli.”

Off we went, climbing the trail through the woods, past a couple of cottages nestled along the path, as we made our way to the high point of the island. And so began a week of flag raising and lowering rituals at the lighthouse. The mystery of the giant’s big nocturnal beam of light faded, as did their fear of the giant’s sound, as the children got to know the lighthouse.

It took some diplomacy to manage whose turn it was to raise and lower the flag halyard each day, but it was ultimately a fine lesson in sharing. There were other lessons, too, as we settled into life on this 50-acre island with no electricity or running water.

With its population of perhaps 50 during the summer weekdays, everyone was special and no one overlooked. And every act was intentional. Drinking water came from the well, which was in the center of the island. That chore usually came after breakfast, which was pancakes on the rustic wooden deck, the burnt pieces fed to either Hank or Stanley, the two resident seagulls. Then both kids would climb into the twowheeled, wooden pushcart, along with our big, yellow water jugs, and off we went like some characters in a Thomas Hardy novel, headed up the path to the well.

We played games along the way, guessing how many strokes on the old iron well pump it would take to fill each container. And again we shared, taking turns as to who did the pumping first.

Sometimes we saw a neighbor along our path and shared island news precious to us in our new world, one that seemed far removed from the volatile events of an emerging Iraq-Kuwait war. The way back to the cabin was a rollicking roll down the path with a load of 10 gallons of water and about 85 pounds of children.

Back at the cabin there was one more chore, and we made our way, with a large dishpan, down to find a

The pine plug and the gift of life ear Friends and Family: Good morning. It is Monday, Dec. 5, and I am finally at home, having arrived home at midnight on Sunday. Long story short: We arrived safely on Thursday, Dec. 1, about 3 p.m., at Fat Hogs Bay. We sailed for the last four days. Light winds at the end. We were all happy to be ashore.

So you know we arrived, and everything is fine. If you would like to know the details of why you haven’t heard from Rob or me since last Tuesday, feel free to read on. It might be boring, but it was more than exciting to us.

Wednesday, Nov. 23, I was on watch from 8-12 (noon); Mike took watch noon on. I was sleeping in my bunk, as was Dave, with Mike at the helm. The wind was blowing about 30 mph with 16-foot waves; we

D

were on a reach but pounding the waves. About 2 p.m., Mike looked down in the cabin and saw my foul-weather boots and my backpack floating in 15 inches of water. We had a leak, and we were filling with water fast.

Mike woke us up screaming, “Find the leak! Get the emergency gear up on deck!”

We got the ditch kit up on deck – flares, etc. – while Mike went looking for the leak. He opened the cabinet door under the head sink and was greeted by a round, light-blue light and a geyser of water coming into the boat. A thru-hull fitting had corroded and broken off (there are 12 of these fittings in this boat), giving us a one-and-a-half-inch hole to the ocean.

The temporary fix for this is a “soft wooden plug,” which is tapered and when shoved into the hole swells and locks itself in place. I got Mike the plug and he

About 2 p.m., Mike looked down in the cabin and saw my foul-weather boots and my backpack floating in 15 inches of water. We had a leak, and we were filling with water fast.

We had the bilge pump, emergency bilge pump, the Whale hand pump, and a small emergency pump all working to get the water out. We finally got it out. The bunks were wet, clothing was wet, salt water had gotten into a lot of things. I tried the single-sideband radio, but the water had sloshed onto some part of it, and it never worked again. The VHF radio doesn’t transmit over 20 miles. We were 500 miles off Cape Hatteras, 700 miles from Tortola.

Mike elected to keep going south into the calmer trade winds instead of recrossing the Gulf Stream and having heavier winds. We sailed on. About two days later, the winds started to taper off, and we elected to start the engine. It wouldn’t start. The starter motor would spin but it would not engage the flywheel and start the motor.

Situation: Five days out, 600+/- miles to go, and we didn’t have a working head, radio, engine, but we did

have a wood plug stopping water from coming into the boat, but we didn’t know just how well that wood plug was holding. We checked it all the time. We had two life rafts, a satellite radio, crew determination, a good boat, and light winds. We went onward, arriving at ProValor at Fat Hogs Bay in Tortola on Dec. 1.

Remember I said my backpack was floating? In my backpack were my computer, camera, phone charger, GPS, and in a sealed Ziploc bag was my wallet, passport and travel documents. I must have left air in the Ziploc bag, and in the commotion it must have been stepped on, breaking the seal, and everything went swimming. Two days later, in calmer weather, I tried to sort things out. No hope for the computer or camera, and I tried to save the GPS. I rinsed in fresh water all my papers, wallet, etc., and dried them out.

Once we landed, I tried my phone. It went roaming for a line but never could really find one. Sometimes a text would go out, and once or twice I was able to talk to Marie for a couple of seconds, but then I would lose

We spent Thursday cleaning up the boat and getting a temporary fix on the thru-hull fitting so the head would work and we wouldn’t have to worry about a wood plug leaking. When the repair people removed the plug, they could not knock it out; they had to drill it out.

We washed down a lot of the inside of the boat with fresh water and dried out the rugs and, hopefully, most of the electrical terminals, then took it over to Cane Garden on Friday night. Saturday, we did a sail and lunch. On Sunday, I left at 8 a.m. for the water taxi to St. Thomas to fly home, arriving at the house to a wonderful wife and a clean Christmas-decorated house.

Pulpit Harbor stowaway t’s Friday afternoon, and Marty and I have just spent four hours in the car working our way to Rockland. We stop for groceries, load up the boat and head out of the harbor. Our preferred stop for the evening is Pulpit Harbor. If all goes according to plan our arrival will be perfectly timed for the cocktail hour and a game of Scrabble. The evening is quiet, the sunset is beautiful, and the workweek is quickly left behind.

Saturday morning brings more perfect weather. The coffee is fresh off the stove, and I head to the cockpit to contemplate the day. Stepping into the cockpit, I think I see something brown out of the corner of my eye. I look again and see nothing. Not thinking too much of it, I settle into my coffee and forget about it.

About 10 a.m. the wind starts to fill in and boats begin to leave the harbor for their next stop. Ours will be Gilkey Harbor, just a short sail away. Up goes the main, out goes the jib, and we are short tacking our way up East Penobscot Bay. Not far out of the harbor, the wind velocity increases to about 15 knots, and we are nicely heeled over. It is nothing our C&C 40 can’t handle, and we are having a great sail.

I

Marty and I have a habit of steering from the leeward side, and the cockpit drain is at your feet when you do this. If the boat is well heeled over, there is water coming up from this drain. Marty is driving and I’m grinding in the jib on the tacks. Out of the corner of my eye, that bit of brown materializes again. Now I begin to realize that it is not my imagination and there is actually something in the cockpit drain. Not wanting to totally freak out my wife, I casually mention that she may want to move her bare feet away from the drain. In the back of my head I’m thinking “rat.” But I just don’t want to go there yet.

Now we are both focused on the drain, and every time the water comes up, out scampers this very cute (notrat) animal. It’s about the size of a chipmunk, with big upright ears. It is quickly determined that even though it’s cute, it’s not going sailing with us for the day. We also make the assumption that if it could swim out to us, it could swim back to shore.

I’m elected to pick up our stowaway and deposit it overboard. So as gently as I can, with the help of one of our chamois, I scoop up our friend and over the side it

To my relief, it is not only a swimmer but a really good swimmer. It’s also using some internal navigation system to head for the nearest piece of land. So much for our bit of morning excitement, and on to Gilkey Harbor.

After getting settled we needed answers to two questions: What was that ball of brown fur? And how did it get on the boat? A quick trip to the laptop and a little help from Google answered question No. 1. Our visitor was a meadow vole. The beautiful fields sloping down to the water around Pulpit are perfect habitat for these creatures. They are also very good swimmers.

The second question we answered for ourselves as we sat in the cockpit and looked over the transom. There lying in the water was the painter to our dinghy. Quick

and easy access for any type of critter swimming by. Our stowaway most likely went up the line and into the cockpit. The problem is getting out of the cockpit. With high slippery sides and no lines to climb out on, the only place to hide is the cockpit drain.

So consider this fair warning for the next time you are sitting in Pulpit Harbor. You may want to pull your dinghy painter up out of the water before you retire for the evening. And you may want to keep one eye on the cockpit drain as your boat heels over.

Russ and Marty Roth sail their C&C 40 Skiya out of Rockland Maine, and Portsmouth N.H. They are lifelong sailors and have cruised extensively from Canada to the Chesapeake. Last year, their Halifax cruise was chronicled in the September 2012 issue of Points East.

After things were squared away, some of the kids wandered around to look at other boats and debate the advantages and disadvantages of the different rigs.

The following morning there were briefings and seminars for the race participants. It was apparent to all adults present that the weather would leave something to be desired. Actually, the weather was just plain bad – gusty winds, on and off heavy rain showers, and the promise of more of the same for the duration of the competition. But the youngsters were told that show would go on to the extent that it could within safety limitations.

When the racers were dismissed, they went directly to the boats for last minute tweaking. It was neat to see these youngsters work with their Leatherman tools Photo courtesy Barrington Yacht Club/Kyle Wilson and rigging knives.

went to the water like ducks. There was a lot of: “I’ll help you wheel your trailer down the ramp, if you help me wheel mine.” I think there was more pragmatism than altruism involved here, but what the heck, it was a step in the right direction. At least the benefits of teamwork were being reinforced.

Though my wife and I were only observers in our Boston Whaler that day, there would be some of the usual Mom Boat duties to perform – dispensing duct tape, lending out tools, replacing lost water bottles and torn charts, or sometimes finding very soggy lunches to feed equally soggy crews.

Keeping up with the boats as they dispersed to the various starting circles was almost impossible. I saw Optimist dinghies sail by me at speeds I didn’t think possible. I recognized a couple of slim Jims and Janes as they flew by, who cleaned up at a light-air series a few weeks before. They were holding on for dear life and grimacing. Then a couple of the heavier kids sailed past me grinning like monkeys. You could see what they were thinking: Today was going to be a fine day to sail … just fine.

Before long the races were called off because of high wind. The skippers and crews had a chance to tune up, and the tough sailing conditions illustrated what needed to be fixed, found, reinforced or discarded before the next day. Once boats and equipment were tucked away, there was time for warming up and dry-

failures and flips. Once, a young lady pulled a Laser up alongside me and asked for some help during a lunch break. “Do you think a bobby pin will hold this shackle pin?” she asked. I told her that I thought that it probably would last for one race, but that I had a little stainless-steel split-ring on my Swiss Army knife that might be better.

Later that afternoon I watched a couple of girls in the “chute and trap” class capsize three times. Each time they righted, they quickly trimmed in the sail and took off smartly like a rocket.

finish line. But regardless of how the kids placed in their respective classes, one thing they all won in this series was confidence. If you could hold your boat down in these conditions, and bring it back to shore safely, you know that you can always do it again.

The regatta participants learned a lot about sailing and racing over the course of Race Week. But they learned so much more, too. They learned the value of planning and preparation. They learned that working together makes things easier, but they also learned that at times you have to be resourceful. They learned out-of-the-box thinking, to substitute one piece of equipment for another, and use a piece of metal, gum or plastic in a way it was not intended for to solve a problem.

The men and women of tomorrow learned that sometimes you just have to tough it out. They learned that, for all the planning and effort they might expend, sometimes chance would determine the outcome of an event. And they learned that “tomorrow” things might be quite different from the way they were today or last week.

The 2013 Junior Race Week was held Aug. 12-14 at Sail Newport, and while the class lineups were different (Club 420s, Optimists and Lasers), somewhere along the way these children, too, learned what I am so glad I learned – that sailing is a sport that can provide a lifetime of challenge and a lifetime of fun.

Aug. 3, the day of the Chowder Cup, appeared to be no exception. We woke to yet more rain showers. The new race organizers, Charlie Witherell and Bill Shaughnessy, had to decide to race or to delay.

They decided to race, and the weather gods listened up: Blue sky emerged at noon, light winds ruffled the bay at the 10-minute warning at 12:50, and Boom! By 1 p.m. we had a nice southwest breeze, which freshened as the race developed. At the end, we had had almost perfect conditions.

We fluttered up to that local pier reserved for gourmet diners, made fast, doused our sails, and promised MoonWind her very own lobstah, corn on the cob, and clam fritters. Here in Noank we know how to pamper our boats.

We strolled the quarter-mile to Abbott’s Lobstah’s.

At Abbott’s, you place your order with the cheerful lady who tends the window, pick up your order at the counter around the corner, then take your tray to a table overlooking scenic Mystic Harbor, and indulge your several senses simultaneously.

“Two lobstah dinners for here,” I told this lady, “and one to go for my boat.” At Abbott’s orders like this are commonplace. “With extra butter,” I added.

There is also an ice-cream stand. While we awaited our order, Salty Whiskahs indulged in a milkshake, but only, I fear, for the privilege of flirting with the young lady at the concession. It doesn’t take 20 minutes to make a milkshake. Nonetheless, he enjoyed his lunch, and even picked up the tab, which he paid in Euros. MoonWind was much impressed when I told her this. It’s not every crew what picks up the tab and knows how to twiddle the tiller into the bargain.

On the way home, the breeze ramped up to a satisfying 10 knots and heeled us over. Salty hooked his ankles over the leeward lifeline and rinsed the excess butter out of his beard. We took the short way home so MoonWind could have her lobstah before the butter

congealed. We eventually wafted into Slip B44 behind Pine Island, and secured in time for aperitifs, which included smoked bluefish and local ale. We then proceeded to praise MoonWind until she blushed, praise each other until we guffawed, and praise the day until it faded and the moon intruded herself.

Over the crackers and cheese we nearly waxed serious. “Nearly” being the operative word as we haven’t waxed all that serious in decades. The crackers and cheese sustained us, nonetheless, and the moon indulged us after her pearly fashion. We made up our bunks and turned in early, exhausted by a surfeit of conversation.

Needless to say – which is why I especially need to say it to you – Salty Whiskahs and I enjoyed our sail, and reminisced most shamelessly about our continuing boyhoods. We’ve known one another 40-odd years, and this gives us liberties unbeknownst to those whom Age ain’t ripened.

For those of you who have cherished each other for years beyond recall, I wish you the utmost pleasure in this world. There aren’t but diminishing years to share such love, so if you have a friend that loves you as a sister and bonds as a brother, be especially good to each other for today and ever and always.

For the tide flows in and the tide ebbs out, but friendship contrives to remain on course, notwithstanding.

bilge needed to be manually pumped at regular intervals.

On this trip, as most other trips, I had some new crew. One was Jay, a retired surgeon from Dallas Tex. Jay and his fellow Texan, Jim, an investment advisor, had individually and cumulatively vastly more racing experience than I and limited blue-water experience. Jim, either out of uncanny foresight or dumb luck for me, arrived with a T-shirt that depicted the various guns, horns and flags in the correct starting sequence for a sailboat start – turned upside down so you could look at your stomach, if large enough, to make sense of the mayhem.

Another new crewmember, Jens, also an experienced sailor and Maine resident quite familiar with cold, wet and fog, was a graduate of the Merchant Marine Academy, and had been a professional cook onboard fishing vessels. He had an appetite and strength equal to three men. Fortunately, he provisioned the boat with more food than we could easily store (or eat), prepared it, served it, cleaned it up, and

became for the rest of us a lifeline to existence – a worker bee and bee keeper. This fellow, also a lawyer, was six-foot-three and strong enough to manhandle the sails.

Had there been wind and the right sails onboard, this could have been a glorious race for Avocet. We each learned from the others. It was, in fact, a glorious race for Avocet.

Following this race, Jay sent me the following email, which succinctly and eloquently set forth the sense of bond and trust, a kind of love, that we sailors develop for each other out there.

Perhaps more than anything, in the words of a fellow racer/skipper, Richard Parent, a Points East Yachtsman of the Year, it echoes that profound sense of interdependence between all crew and skipper: “Sometimes, the appreciation of an experience is apparent immediately; other times, it blooms over time and reflection. For me, our voyage together from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, to the beautiful, rugged coast of Maine manifested both of these char-

acteristics. These experiences can be shared with others only to a limited degree, no matter how eloquent is the teller-of-the-tale, nor how receptive are the listeners.

“There exists for those who have sailed with mates across a sea, in the black of night, enshrouded in fog, a bond of trust and respect that is uniquely personal.

Such experiences become woven into the fabric of a person who takes the step from the security of the shore into the micro world of a vessel trusting her seaworthiness and her skipper to safely complete the voyage. For this I am thankful and grateful.”

So there’s the heart of it, and it has nothing to do

with winning, looking good, sailing through storms, or even staying dry, warm and odor free – though the last three are important. It’s not about the duplicative check-in procedures at race registration, cumbersome U.S. customs clearing procedures (or lack thereof), stuff broken or about to break onboard, wrong sails, lack of wind; the first two can be expected and endured in a society increasingly driven by rules and regulations.

It is the passion for the sport, the mutual respect and interdependence of everyone, however imperfect, involved in the sport and the appreciation of the physical beauty of this small place we are so fortunate to briefly be a part of that safely floats the boat.

When I first discovered this magic gem of a harbor on the northeast corner of Great Diamond Island, all the 30 or 40 boat slips in the marina were full, and the 20 or so moorings also taken. It was bustling with fancy yachts and sailboats up to 40 or 50 feet in length.

Added to this activity were the arrivals and departures of Casco Bay Lines ferries that service all the islands, stopping frequently from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Now, even at the height of summer, it seems there are fewer boats and less activity.

For the last decade the main attraction for upscale visitors has been the elegant restaurant and bar named the Diamonds Edge, right by the water with tables on the lawn overlooking the harbor. For those Above: A foggy mornnot wanting to go ashore, there ing at Diamond Cove. is always a rafting up of boats Right: My smaller for a party.

Great Diamond Island was first named Hog Island for all the pigs penned there, safe from the mainland wolves. By the 1880s, residents objected to the name Hog and changed it to Diamond. Great Diamond Island is one of about six islands owned by the City of Portland. The northeast side is best known for its large number of brick houses built for the officers of the U.S. Army, starting in 1891 during the Spanish American War. Fort McKinley was completed in 1907 and used through WWII until 1945. For four decades, the Fort was a ghost town Then, finally in the 1990s, several of these brick buildings were renovated by real estate developers and sold as condos to summer residents, many from southern states. More recently, seven or eight new and rather grand homes have been built on the banks and tastefully hidden behind trees, just peeking through.

One of them, above an old granite pier, has a pair of Adirondack chairs on the lawn that are rarely sat in, but always ready for a “customer.” Across the way, what was once a jailhouse is now converted to rooms 36 Points East October/November 2013

with newly painted bars and freshly varnished doors.

A long dock stretches beyond low tide for three yachts of contemporary design. They never seem to leave the dock.

Diamond Cove is a gated community with a population of 77, according to the 2010 census. There are no private cars, just 20 or 30 golf carts used by residents. The general store is the center of activity at the cove with a small assortment of groceries, beer and soft drinks, and an interesting breakfast menu.

My small and less-grand sailboat swings gently at a mooring as I watch the growing twilight approach.

I adjust my dinnertime to the season – 8:30 in the early summer and 5:30 in the early fall. My meal is usually the same: a choice piece of tenderloin. Yes, editor@pointseast.com

After dinner, as the sun sets early behind the trees, up the hill there’s a particular glow from the west as clouds reflect the bright sunlight. The real charm of this spot begins. shamefully, I’m still a meat eater. At my ripe-old age, it’s too late to change my habits. And hash-brown potatoes and a fresh green salad complete the meal.

The steak is cooked rare on the gas grill hanging over the stern as the sun sets. I prolong the experience, sitting on deck watching the gathering dusk. No meal at the fanciest restaurant could possibly top this.

After dinner, as the sun sets early behind the trees, up the hill there’s a particular glow from the west as clouds reflect the bright sunlight. The real charm of this spot begins. In the east, toward Long and Chebeague islands, the darkening gray starts climbing skyward. Each time I watch this scene, I feel fortunate to be here for this evening show.

This night a cool breeze from the southwest is making it almost chilly. The marine weather radio says the temperatures will be dipping into the 50s. In the west, bright pink contrails arc across the fading sky. Aurora II and I are cozy, in for another Cove evening. Just be-

fore dark, I light the cabin oil lamp, which uses a highgrade kerosene without the familiar oil fumes. This small brass lamp gives off a warm, orange-red color that brings comfort to my surroundings, although barely enough light to read by. I have several electric lights for serious reading.

During the evening, from 7 to 11, at least four ferries stop here. As each approaches, there’s loud noise as the skipper reverses the engine as the vessel nears the dock not far from my mooring. After each one departs, there is an almost perfect silence, broken only occasionally by a small powerboat leaving for Portland with restaurant guests.

By 10:30 or 11, I usually can’t stay awake any longer. After a quick stroll on deck to check that all’s well, I crawl into my sleeping bag, read a few pages of my latest book, then blow out the oil lamp and quickly fall asleep aided by the gentle rocking only found aboard a boat.

Each outing is an adventure and warms my heart and soul with joy. Being on the water well over 100 days a year each spring, summer and fall has made me who I am.

I keep a log book in which I jot down a few sentences (sometimes more) about what each of my days on the water added to my life, and look back through my records for reference each year – about water temperatures, fishing hot spots, where to find bait, etc.

My boat is my pride and joy. It’s a 25-foot Sea Fox “walkaround” style powerboat with a roomy cuddy that provides ample space to store all my fishing and boating gear. The cuddy has a large cushioned V-

berth I use to take naps when the mood strikes.

My Sea Fox is powered by twin Suzuki 150-horse four-stroke outboards that are whisper-quiet and serve me well whether I’m trolling at three knots or want to zip along at speeds of 40-plus. The cockpit is especially roomy, with an oversized nine-foot, threeinch beam, and the integrated 41-gallon bait well meets my fishing needs since it’s big enough to keep a few dozen adult bunker alive, which is critical to my striped bass fishing.

But fishing isn’t all that I enjoy aboard my boat, and July 6, 2013 is a particularly good example of all the pleasures it provides;

Landing and releasing seven more stripers and three bluefish this morning was “good fishing” without a doubt.

We passed by our dock in Cos Cob to pick up a few other friends, who joined us for an afternoon and evening aboard – relaxing, swimming, exploring Great Captain’s Island, and holiday fireworks. Dropping anchor at the beach on the northwest corner of the Island, we hung out on the island’s sandy beach and walked to the easternmost end, which hosts one of the largest heron and egret colonies in southern New England. We also took photos of the dozens of pairs roosting in the trees.

With hundreds of boats at anchor in and around the cove, the fireworks began at Greenwich Point Park (Tod’s Point), along the southern end of Greenwich Cove, and they were spectacular.

They were at boatbuilding summer school

By Cynthia Goss Newport, R.I. n a July morning at The Hinckley Company in Portsmouth, R.I., students in the Rhode Island Marine Trades (RIMTA) Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program were huddled into the cockpit of a 24-foot Formula powerboat. Kurt Forsman of the Derema Group walked them through the process of winterizing the boat’s 305-horsepower inboard. Students were so absorbed that at times it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop inside Hinckley’s Building No. 5 – except when student questions started to fly, which was often.

“Couldn’t you do it this way?” “What would happen if you did that step first?” Some students were two steps ahead of Forsman as he demonstrated, and that was what Forsman liked most about this group of students: They were eager to learn.

This new marine trades pre-apprenticeship program, which requires a full-time commitment from its students, was launched in early July and concluded in mid-August. The program is made possible through a Governor’s Workforce Board Rhode Island grant for $142,788 – part of $1.97 million in Innovative Partner-

O

ship grants distributed throughout the state. RIMTA spearheaded the development of the program and partnered with local marine companies, which are supplying facilities and expertise.

By graduation time, the eight pre-apprentices in the program, ages 18 to 24, will be ready for employment.

But first, they will complete the 205-hour course that gives them hands-on instruction in painting, varnishing, composites, customer service, hauling, rigging, fork and Travelift operation, shrinkwrapping, winterizing and commissioning, boat handling, safety procedures, knot tying, tool handling, industry terminology, and even job-readiness skills.

That’s a lot of ground to cover, and a lot of questions to ask, but student Tyler Kane Roy Soares, age 18, is definitely up for the challenge: “I love learning,” he says. “I’m like a sponge.”

Stephan Lawson is a bright, poised 23-year-old from Providence who never considered the boating industry as a career. After spending four years in the Marine Corps, he was planning his post-military career and, in the process, met RIMTA Workforce Development Coordinator Jen Cornwell, who directs the pre-apprenticeship program. “The more I learned, the more inter-

ested I got in the program,” said Lawson.

Competition to gain admission to the program, which is free for students, was stiff.

Cornwell received 50 applications; she selected 30 applicants to interview and narrowed that group to a smaller field of candidates to undergo testing for hands-on aptitude and math and reading skills. In interviews, Cornwell looked for qualities prized by marine companies that can’t be taught: a willingness to learn, a good attitude, and a genuine interest in making a career in the marine trades.

in August.

Some pre-apprentices came to the program with a passion for boats. But for others, such as talented students Lawson and Soares, this program diverted their career focus from other fields, and the marine industry will be better for their new career choice.

Even though Soares had just graduated from the Tiverton (R.I.) High School boatbuilding program this past June, he had no idea the boating business held so many diverse aspects to learn about. Now he is hooked, and when asked what he liked most about the program thus far, he can only answer with one word: “Everything!”

The next session of the Rhode Island Marine Trades Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program will be run this winter, and applications will be available from RIMTA in late fall. For more information, visit www.rimta.org.

Eagles, herons help to celebrate Ron and Deb’s 44th anniversary

By Ron and Deb Smalley South Portland, Maine t’s a beautiful September morning – no wind and a very appealing 73 degrees – so Deb and I decide to embark on one of the few remaining cruises we could get in before the inevitable onslaught of fall activities. Agreeing that a short run with a light lunch on board is the plan, we head out on KayaBay II, our 23-foot Grady White Cuddy Cabin.

The warmth of the sun is always welcome in September, and we marvel at the beauty of its angle and its effect on the water in front of us. A treat was seeing the giant cruise ship Grandeur of the Sea pass us before we left the vicinity of the marina. We felt no envy for all those gawking faces, only gratitude for being where we were.

As we head up Diamond Pass (“Diamond I Roads” on the chart), we decide to set our speed at a gunkhole-pace of 2400 rpm, or seven or eight knots, so that we can look for wildlife, a favorite activity of ours along the east side of the Diamond Islands. We’ve had single sightings of fairly rare birds over the years, but today Deb immediately spots a blue heron just south of Ted Rand’s place.

“Look over here – there’s a blue…no two of them … wait three blue herons… and a fourth,” she cries.

Each sat in his own tree, calmly gazing out over his fishing grounds. I get into neutral so we can take it all in. Jaws back in place we head up the pass to Great Diamond thinking we’ve seen our quota for the day.

By Sally Small For Points East A year ago Oct. 29, Superstorm Sandy made landfall near Brigantine, N.J., as what the National Hurricane Center called “a post-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds� that slammed the Northeast with deadly wind, rain, snow and tidal surges. Sally Small wrote this letter to friends after the storm departed. hoy Dear Friends. I wanted to drop a note to let everyone know that we are OK after Hurricane Sandy reared her ugly head Oct. 29-30.

Below right: So Inclined leans on Alviento at our club.

She was certainly no lady! Kurt, Sally and Pegasus came through unscathed, unlike many other people and boats in our area. We never lost power, so were able to stay at home warm and dry, with our eyes glued to the TV. Someone named it “Frankenstorm” due to its arrival near Halloween. The wind was unlike anything I had 48 Points East October/November 2013

ever seen before – probably up to 80 miles an hour. The trees behind our apartment building were bent over at about 90 degrees. We heard a few loud CRACKS when some trees broke, but none came down onto cars in the parking lot below. At the worst of it, the barometer read 28.54.

On Wednesday, Oct. 31, we went up to Norwalk Cove editor@pointseast.com

(Conn.) Marina where Pegasus had been hauled out the weekend before. We had taken all the sails and canvas off and winterized him (Pegasus is a mythical male horse). He was high and dry and safe in his new winter home. He told me that he was scared and lonely during the storm and that he missed us.

He was as glad to see us, as we were to see him in one piece.

After that, we went to Brewers Yacht Haven in Stamford, Conn., to check out the docks where we have a slip in the summer. Unlike the bullet we dodged last year with hurricane Irene, this time the docks went up over the pilings in various places, and some of the docks were damaged. Most of the boats on the outer piers had been moved to the inner piers, so they were all OK. Some owners did not take off sails or canvas covers, which turned into raggedy streamers and will have to be replaced.

This year we didn’t “miss it by that much,” as Maxwell Smart

used to say.

Now for the most difficult part: We went to City Island, to our Stuyvesant Yacht Club. It was a total disaster. About 29 boats had gotten picked up off of their poppets by the surge, waves and wind out of the south, and were plopped unceremoniously on top of one another like some demented giant had thrown them all away like discarded tinker toys. I am attaching a few photos of the destruction because mere words are not enough to describe it.

The photos don’t do justice to the damage. Our commodore’s boat was one of the last ones to be hauled, and it has gone on walkabout. It got washed away from the grounds, and no one knows where it is at this point. The boats on the north side fared much better, although one boat did tip over and is leaning on Alviento next to it. One piece of dark humor: The toppled boat’s name is So Inclined.

was completely collapsed. The dock and tiki-bar area, which was about 100 feet long and 60 feet wide, got picked up off of its pilings and moved about 12 feet to the north, where it now blocks the Travelift pit. If they had to haul or launch any boats at this time, they would have to clear away the debris left by the dock just to get access to the pit.

The floats seem to be OK and are still attached to their pilings.

However, there is no way to get to them since the access from land to the floats is blocked by the wreckage of the dock. Plus, it would be unsafe to even walk out there. The clubhouse itself had about a foot of water in it. Hopefully, the new floors can be rescued. As far as I know, no equipment inside the clubhouse was hurt, but that could change.

Some of the other yacht clubs on City Island got some water into the clubhouses and ruined some equipment. Harlem Yacht Club had a foot and a half of water in the clubhouse, and the porch moved about two feet away from the building. The equipment in the kitchen may have to be replaced.

City Island Yacht Club lost its dock. Again. This is getting old, as they say. It was destroyed during hurricane Irene last year. They should be experts now on how to rebuild it. The floating docks and pilings were OK. There was just no way to get onto them.

On the positive side, a lot of the boats in our club were rather old and there were no liveaboards.

None were “primary residences.”

And no one was hurt or killed, so that is good news. It is now in the hands of the insurance companies and the skilled repairmen. Someone said that they will have to bring in a crane and barge on the waterside just to start picking up the boats, one by one. I for one would not know where to start. It was so overwhelming.

THERACIN Keemah is the overall winner at R-C Regatta

By Jesse Henry For Points East The Rockland Castine Regatta, hosted by Rockland (Maine) Yacht Club celebrated its third annual run July 20-21. In all, 32 boats made it to the line for the start on both days, seven more boats than the previous year.

This year the regatta had two cruising classes, three racing classes, a shorthanded division, and a multihull division, each sailing a 20-mile course to and from Rockland and Castine harbors.

Day 1 was a sled ride to Castine, with a 10to 20-knot west–southwest breeze that was mostly consistent throughout the race with just one hole about three-quarters of the way down the leg; however, a building breeze down at the Castine end of the course kept the racing interesting with groups of boats finishing within seconds of each other. First to finish on Day 1 was Panacea, a Freedom 32 in the shorthanded division. Skippered and crewed by Peter McCrea, Panacea finished just over 5 minutes ahead of the next

Thirtythree boats made it to the line for two days of racing Sept. 7-8 on Casco Bay. Saturday brought an eight- to 12-knot westerly breeze. The current and winds were shifting all day, which produced some not-so-consistent finishes.

boat.

By design, this race is pursuitstyle, and Panacea was the first boat to start with its high rating of 186 and so is affectionately called the rabbit. Well… on the first day of racing, nobody caught the rabbit – good going Peter! Keemah, a J/105 in racing class two, was the next boat to finish, closely followed

by Cat’s Paw and Migis Magic, both in racing-class three. Day 1 was not the day for the big boats as they were never able to catch all the way up to most of the smaller boats. The race back to Rockland on Sunday would be another story completely.

Day 2 started off with a whimper and finished off with a bang. Just in time for the start, a five-knot northerly filled in just outside Castine Harbor, and the race committee anxiously was able to start the race on time. However, that wind proved to be fluky for the rest of the starting sequence. Luckily a one-knot-plus outgoing current kept most of the boats moving toward Rockland harbor, while the whole fleet waited for a southwesterly wind to fill for a great upwind leg back home.

The wind did fill to about 10 to 15 knots and provided some large oscillations of almost 50 degrees on the course. The boats that hit the shifts just right each time made huge gains; boats that got caught on the wrong side found it hard to recover. The shifts took place every 40 minutes or so, which created a wait-and-see game.

The larger boats were able to catch up with the fleet on day two, and the first boat to finish was racing class 1 boat, J’ai Tu, a J/35 owned by Gary Bennett and skippered by JB Turner. The second boat to finish was Kaos, a Frers 41 skippered by Scott Smithwick, closely followed by Beausoleil, a Beneteau 456, skippered by Richard Parent.

Keemah, owned by Don Logan, editor@pointseast.com

won the overall by one minute and 35 seconds over Kaos. Both boats won their respective divisions, but Keemah’s combined finish times were just a bit quicker. Congratulations to Keemah on a second consecutive overall win at the Rockland-Castine Regatta.

Saturday evening saw over 175 sailors gathering at Dennett’s Wharf restaurant. The party started with a bang, literally, when the power went out due to a small squall that went through Castine just after everyone had hit the docks and were cleaned up after racing. The Dennett’s staff was great and kept everything on schedule, cooking with headlamps in their kitchen, and serving all the sailors on time. On Sunday, RYC hosted an awards BBQ under the Friendship Sloop Days tent on the Rockland green, providing a perfect end to a great weekend with a full BBQ with burgers, dogs, chicken and all the fixings and some great salads to top off the experience.

Rising Tide Beer was enjoyed each day, with their Spinnaker and Maine Island Trail Ale brands providing some great refreshment to the crowds of thirsty sailors. Planning is already under way to bring a bigger and better regatta to the mid-coast next year. Learn all about it at www.rocklandcastineregatta.org.

The Kittery Point Yacht Club Single-Handed Regatta, off Portsmouth, N.H., Sept. 7, “proved to be a challenge of sailing skills, with winds from the southwest at 10 to 15 that were sometimes rather spotty,” according to Tom Schladenhauffen, race coordinator for KPYC, at New Castle, N.H. The singlehanded race was the fourth race in the season-long Commodores Cup series.

The course led the boats from Whaleback Light to Rye Harbor, then out to Gosport Harbor, in the Isles of Shoals, and, finally, back to Whaleback Light. Seventeen boats competed in two classes, with an awards dinner at KPYC after the event. Racing Class results: 1. K2, Frank Pfosi; 2. Stay Calm; Doug Pinciaro; 3. Vox, Vicki Janousek.

Larchmont Yacht Club knew before that start that this would be the only race of the day and the team from New York wasted no time in harassing the regatta leader, Royal Canadian Yacht Club. In the prestart, the two yachts were prowling around each other in an attempt to force a penalty.

At the start, Larchmont managed to get over the top of Royal Canadian Yacht Club, forcing them to the unfavored right side of the course, and for a time, Larchmont looked like they might be able to put enough boats in between them and the Canadian team to win the regatta.

Southport’s 29FE wins award at Newport Southport Boats, of Augusta, Maine, won Newport International Boat Show’s “2013 Best Powerboat Under 30 Feet” award in September for the new 29 FE model. Southport says its 29 FE is a crossover model that offers the amenities of a family cruiser without sacrificing fishability and offshore performance. The model made its debut at the Newport International Boat Show and is now available for test-drives at some Southport dealers.

“The concept for the 29 FE originated in Newport two years ago after we repeatedly were asked by

prospective customers to offer our larger 29-foot center-consoles with the family-friendly seating standard in our 27 CC model,” said Peter Galvin, vice president of marketing at Southport Boats.

The new 29 FE model includes an adjustable-height lunch/cocktail table designed for alfresco dining. The table is easily lowered between the forward seats creating a spacious sun pad platform. The console has a comfortable forward-facing loveseat-style cushion with suede-like marine-grade vinyl.

We go to great lengths on your behalf!

Stern man turned asset manager gives Holland lobsterboat a refit An asset manager, who worked as a stern man on a lobsterboat as a kid, always wanted a split-house working boat, and he hired South Port Marine, in South Portland, Maine to find him one. After South Port found “the perfect boat,” a Holland 38 built by Holland’s Boat Shop in Belfast, Maine, the buyer decided to have it painted, which, in turn, led to a complete refit to the tune of $220,000. The major jobs completed include: strip and seal with barrier coat, extend winterback, custom electronics pod, new davits, custom cushions, new 110V AC system, new lighting, hot and cold potable water, refrigeration, complete Awlgrip paint job, custom bait station, new windows and port lights, new electronics, custom bunks, custom propane system, new inverter, new head system, reglassing working deck, new counter tops, The project took six months to complete, then the Holland was displayed at the Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors Show last August. South Port shipped the Holland to San Francisco, where she has been spotted several times during America’s Cup TV coverage.

True North’s flagship is TN50

The Southport 29 FE has several additional features that make the boat more attractive to boaters who are entertaining as well as fishing. The lockable stand-up head enclosure includes a faux granite sink top and countertop and nonskid Marinedeck on the cabin sole.

Deluxe helm chairs with flipup bolsters are standard on the Southport 29 FE, and the leaning post tackle station can be replaced with an entertainment center, complete with grill and refrigerator. A plush threequarter aft lounge seat provides multi-person seating when cruising or entertaining. The lounge seat folds down when fishing is the priority. Additional options for the Southport 29 FE include a quarter-berth beneath the console front seat.

True North Yachts, in Warren, R.I., has a new flagship, the True North 50 power yacht. The True North line currently has 34- and 38foot models.

In coordination with Langan Design Partners, True North Yachts designed the TN50 to focus on the enjoyment of being outdoors, ease of ownership, safety, and comfort at sea.

This new, larger design has been conceived to provide “a fresh look at power yachting,” True North says.

The TN50, with twin Volvo Penta IPS600 engines, offers singlehanded maneuverability, stability, and excellent visibility. Side hull doors, and an opening door at the helm enables one person to operate the vessel with ease, the builder says.

The TN50 hull is crafted after a lobster boat design, which has been solidly founded and proven seaworthy in its shape. The result is an ex-

ceptionally stable cockpit and wide decks that allow for easy movement.

But the otherwise modern design is apparent throughout the boat. The wide reverse transom leads to a cockpit suitable for dining, complete with modular seats, dining table and trimmed in hand-finished teak. The cockpit also has abundant storage, with lockers for lines, fenders, scuba equipment, or other boating accessories.

The TN 50’s main-deck galley keeps the helmsperson in the middle of the action. The boat has a twocabin/two-head layout. The forward master stateroom has its own head with a separate shower and dressing table. The centerline queen berth is accessible from three sides. True North 50 Hull No. 1 is currently under construction and will be available for 2014.

PASSAGES/T h ey

Wallace C. Ross 90, Vero Beach, Fla.

Wally Ross – former Noroton (Conn.) Yacht Club member, prominent yachtsman, pioneer sail maker, businessman and author – died on Aug. 23 in Vero Beach. He was president of Hard Sails and Seaboard Marine from 1954 to 1974.

At Hard, he made sails for over 100 national and international small boat champions, in addition to 12Meter class sails and sails for many large championship boats of the day. In the early years, Hard’s use of Dacron provided sails that held shape and were conducive to application of aerodynamic theory in mass production.

Seaboard Marine made fittings for many 12-meter boats competing for the America’s Cup in the 1960s.

Seaboard also produced many other marine product

lines. He sailed on America’s Cup boats and became a racer in his own right. His 1975 book “Sail Power,” written in layman’s terms, became a bible of sailing and sailmaking. The radial spinnaker and the ballbearing traveler are both credited to his fertile mind.

Dick Newick 87, California

The prolific multihull designer passed away Aug. 29, apparently from a cardiac problem. His international fame began with the 3rd-place performance of Tom Follet and his proa Cheers in the 1968 OSTAR. Then, The Third Turtle, skippered by Michael Birch, arrived in Newport on the heels of Eric Tabarly, winner of the 1976 OSTAR. Gloucester’s Phil Weld won the 1980 OSTAR on the Newick-designed Moxie.

Henry Nelson Collins 81, Pawtucket, R.I.

Nelson died Sept. 10 in Providence. He was a lifelong sailor, participating in many long-distance races and sailing his homebuilt sailboat on Narragansett Bay. No matter how much he served his community, he always found the time to be a loving and devoted family man. He was the 5th generation of the Collins family to operate Collins Brother Machine Company, manufacturing textile machines. He was a lifetime member of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Pawtucket, serving on the vestry and Project Outreach, and on the boards of trustees for the Boys and Girls Club of Pawtucket, and for Slater Mill’s RAS Corporate Museum.

Marie DeRoche 66, Glendale, R.I.

The beloved commodore of Edgewood Yacht Club, in Cranston, R.I., passed away unexpectedly on Sept. 16.

Marie is survived by her husband, Don, who served as commodore in 1997 and 1998, by their daughters Danielle and Monique, and by five grandchildren.

As commodore, Marie brought a sense of calm and purpose to the club as it continued to recover from the fire that resulted in the loss of the clubhouse in 2011.

Her leadership style was inclusive. She was respectful and considerate of the opinions of all members, mindful of the club’s proud history, and dedicated to its future. She attended countless planning, board and committee meetings in connection with the anticipated rebuilding of the clubhouse, and guided that process with grace and good humor.

Marie brought extensive executive-level experience to her position as commodore, and assumed office just after retiring from the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training. Her leadership skills were evident as she led the club through several major projects including the restoration of the sea wall, the conversion of the cottage into an office and meeting facility, and extensive marina upgrades.

As a couple, Commodores Marie and Don DeRoche have set a standard of excellence and displayed a degree of dedication to this club that is unparalleled.

Commodore Marie DeRoche brought harmony, a restored sense of pride and hope for the future to the club at a time when that was sorely needed. She was a person for all seasons and assumed the position of commodore when she was most needed. She served well and will be sorely missed. www.pointseast.com

Moon cross at Winter Harbor ruising the Downeast and Maritime coasts is possessed of epic intimations that are not always easy to fathom, and the drama and implications of them seem to warn against thinking I know very much of such things, even after all these years of fetching along.

Such telling events occur in a variety of guises. Savaged by a southeasterly squall blowing athwart an ebbing Bay of Fundy tide, the fury of breaking seas, driving rain and fog left me breathless as I crawled onto the Leight’s tossing deck to tie in a reef with one hand, while hanging on with the other. Feeling vulnerable in the madness, it only occurred to me after making Head Harbor on Campobello Island that it was better to know such things than not, as annoying as they were at times.

And there are the venerated places that appeal to a particular natural divinity we feel, but might not be able to explain. Other encounters are far more ordinary. Chancing upon the bones of a shipwreck, or the

ruins of an old island home, we wonder what heroic and tragic tales played out there, and what they tell us about life.

One such minor, but interesting, revelation was our discovery of the moon cross at Winter Harbor on Vinalhaven Island. As you’d expect of such things, it is hardly obvious, yet not so hidden from view that one possessed of an inquiring spirit might miss it.

Close-hauled under main and jib, a fair tide and wind running, we hugged along the cliffs in the outer harbor, leaving the two-foot sounding to port. Keeping a bold ledge southwest of it close to port, and a cluster of shoals to starboard, we carried depths of eight feet or more. Bringing the prominent point on the south shore abeam, we tacked over for the small cove on the north shore, and, just before entering it, swung northwest, keeping to port of a shoal that shows toward low water.

Making for the head of navigation, we left an allweather ledge to starboard, sidled over to the south editor@pointseast.com

shore and anchored off a smooth, sloping swell of granite. Taking in the spectacle on all quarters, we caught sight of a slender stone cross that occupied a rocky dais amidst a scattering of quarry castings.

Landing the dinghy in a little teacup of a rocky alcove close aboard, we struck off westward on a faint path, through a copse of red pine, and soon came upon a miniature, sheer-walled amphitheatre, at the head of which stood a cross, fashioned from slender granite timbers.

What was even more extraordinary about the scene was the array of moon phases, rendered in living lichen, scattered about the wall behind the cross. Crescent moons the size of a soccer ball, full moons, first quarters, last quarters, waxing and waning, suggested someone else saw this as hallowed ground, the same sense we’d felt on our first visit 40 years earlier.

There was a quieting, earthy/animist/seastruck wildness to the place, even if we didn’t know what it meant, except that it was an expression of reverence, emotion, and organic communion with nature that can run deep, if we’re open to them.

That’s the thing about this rugged coast. We’re never altogether sure what to make of such things, which puts us in a receptive mood. The moon cross, gravestones, wrecks, stormy days and other events make us think about what we know – and don’t know – and encourages us to make our travels along this wild and beautiful coast a worthy expression of leaning into the light.

Western Long Island Sound

Are you ready for a shot at a Northeast Inshore Slam?

By Richard DeMarte For Points East An Inshore Slam is one of the most difficult challenges for Northeast inshore anglers, and it’s also one of the most thrilling and fulfilling. An Inshore Slam is catching a striped bass, a bluefish, a bonito and an albie (albacore tuna) in a single day, and October is prime-time since these four species will be stuffing themselves to the gills as they prepare for their migrations to warmer waters.

October is also the time to find the waters loaded with all types of baitfish these predators love to gorge on: peanut (baby) bunker, snapper (baby) bluefish, spearing, sand eels and bay anchovies. Stripers and bluefish will also never turn their noses up on cut or live bunker or porgies used as bait as well. So don’t think about tucking that fishing gear away for the winter just yet. Oh, did I mention that porgies, blackfish, black sea bass and fluke are also fair game this time of year as well?

Bluefish: The westernmost reaches of the sound seem to be holding a few scattered blues ranging from three to 10 pounds, but the odds increase dramatically as you head east along the Connecticut shoreline, where massive pods of bunker in the harbors and out in deeper open water are keeping the attention of sizable schools of eight- to 14-pound blues. They are not picky and will eat anything you toss at them including chunked and live bunker as well as jigged lures and trolled umbrella rigs.

Best action can be found at Greens Ledge, Norwalk, Fairfield, Bridgeport and Milford. Now is the time to pull out those surface lures (the Rapala Skitter Pop is my favorite) and crank them back to the boat as fast as you can.

Striped bass: The best bet by far is to set up along the rocky shorelines in shallow water (which stays warmer this time of year) as well as in and around harbors. Bait fishing with live or chunked bunker or porgies is the way to go and chumming a bit will help as well. Tucking tight

Big stripers are on the move; tuna action may continue

By Elisa Jackman For Points East he summer flew by, the air is getting cooler, and the fall fishing is upon us. Water temperatures are cooling, and the fall bass migration is beginning, so get those eels ready.

Inshore fishing for scup and seabass will continue throughout the month. Popular fishing grounds include the rocky bottom areas of the south shore such as the Hooter Buoy.

This is the best technique to land a cow bass. Trolling umbrellas during the day is the next best method. The surf fishing off Narragansett and Point Judith will improve as the water cools; needle fish and popper plugs often work well.

Tautog will begin moving from shallow-water grounds to deeper waters of Narragansett Bay, in areas such as Point Judith Light, River Ledge, Scarborough and Black Rock. The last tautog hot spot will be Washington Ledge.

If the weather permits, the offshore fishing should continue through October; however, fishable days become harder to come by. Captain and angler Buzz Smart, aboard the Aerie One, landed a 216-pound big-eye tuna while fishing the Fish Tales during mid-September. This big-eye bite has been pretty regular at the Fish Tales to West Atlantis all summer. All fish have been caught on the troll; if fish concentrate, a night chunk bite could happen.

Anglers will wait to see if the Dump and the Shipping Lanes will continue to hold a nice body of albacore tunas. The Hot Reels trolled up to 15 albacore, 25 to 50 pounds, 55 miles offshore in the Dump the first weekend of September. Hopefully, these fish will hang around. Be sure to ask your local tackle shops for up to date reports! Here’s to a lot more tight lines before the season ends!

Jackman, a Point Judith Pond native, has managed the tackle shop at Wakefield, R.I.’s Snug Harbor Marina (www.snugharbormarina.com) for over 18 years and has spent her life fishing the waters of Block Island Sound.

Striped bass, blues, tuna and sharks are still active

By Marco Lamothe For Points East Recreational fishing season is almost winding down here on the southern Maine coast, but not quite yet.

Shorter days mean less time to pursue the multitude of bass and bluefish foraging about our near-shore waters.

Most weekday workers are now confined to Saturday and Sunday excursions due to early sunrise and sunset.

This final burst in early to mid-October is generally the best of the season. Surface frenzies at midday are now a common occurrence as inshore and offshore waters have cooled, ushering the exodus of pesky blue sharks and dogfish from the cod and haddock grounds.

Beachfronts from Popham down to Kittery will host mixed sizes of striped bass as they gorge on small herring and sand eels on their way south. Tiny spike mackerel are quite abundant this fall and should provide a magnet for those fishing live baits for both bass and bluefish. Bluefish have been sparse in Maine waters so far this late season, but expect schools to reorganize as they rampage their way to waters in the Chesapeake and other southern locales.

Cod fishing should peak prior to the season’s closure

date. This season has been one of the most bountiful in recent years for bottom dredgers plying Jeffreys Ledge, Platts, and other southern Maine humps. Cod numbers have been solid, and the average size has been improving as well.

Nine-fish limits prevail until the end of the season Oct. 31. Many fishermen continue to ignore the 19-inch limit and use a bit longer measurement of 24 inches or so; the numbers have been that good! With the reduction in dogfish numbers, anglers will find more success as they switch over to jig and bait combos.

October surprisingly often brings calm seas for extended stretches, reducing the need for extreme weights and cumbersome sea anchors. When the wind is steady, a sea anchor can save the day. If you are not on bottom, you aren’t catching cod. Often a 10- or 12-ounce cod jig is all that is needed to hug bottom. Jiggers targeting haddock can find success baiting their teaser with a halfcooked shrimp or sandworm. Expect good numbers of slammer pollock as well, often striking in pairs.

The first couple of weeks in October mark the end to offshore shark fishing. Blues, porbeagles, threshers and makos will all make their way out into the Gulf Stream

Well, what are you going to do? What a perfect way for Bob and Louise to end a summer cruizilla!

This was a vacation? e had been planning our summer boating vacation for better than a year. Stops were to include the Boston Harbor Islands, World’s End in Hingham, Provincetown, Wood’s Hole, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

As was our habit, we had chosen the two weeks around July 4 as our traveling time and had made reservations for slips and moorings accordingly. This was no small task since five boats were planning on making the trek with us.

The seas were calm and the sky was clear as we left our docks on the initial leg of our journey; first stop: Georges Island. This is one of the 34 islands and peninsulas providing the 50 square miles of bays, harbors and rivers in the Boston Harbor Island’s network. We hooked mooring balls on the northeast side of the island and began to unwind after our voyage from Newburyport.

After a windy night, with considerable blowing around on our mooring, we awoke to another gorgeous day. We left our big boats and headed out in our dinghies to in-

vestigate Lovell Island. We hiked the trails, did some swimming at the small beach and inspected the remains of Fort Standish. We would have been tempted to stay an additional night in these outer islands if the wind had subsided; however, our group voted to forego another evening of blowing around in choppy waters and head to our next destination, World’s End in Hingham/Hull.

Here, we would again be on moorings, but this anchorage area was well-protected; in fact, as we travelled into Boston’s South Channel, the breeze ceased entirely, and the heat of the day became more noticeable. We were looking forward to jumping into the cool water of the harbor.

Since this was our first visit to the mooring field, we were careful to follow the marked channel, and to keep a sharp eye on our paper charts as well as our chart plotter; the area does get shallow. We were able to hook our mooring without incident and enjoy this pleasant, peaceful area known as World’s End.

VACATION, continued from Page 81 we again left the big boats behind and began to explore the area by dinghy.

A 10-minute ride brought us to Nantasket Beach and back to the hustle and bustle of city living. The beach is long, sandy, and can be crowded on a hot day, but the restaurants, sights and activities made the trip worthwhile. But the Paragon Carousel alone was worth the trip.

Now an antique, it was built in 1928, one of only 100 carousels remaining in the United States. It has 66 beautifully maintained, carved wooden horses and attracts over 100,000 visitors a summer. As William Tammeus, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist said, “You really don’t understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around...and why his parents will always wave back.” This year marks the 85th year of operation for this relic from Hull’s golden age.

After returning to the big boats, we fired up the gas grills and created the on-board feasts for which we have become famous (at least in our own minds). The late-afternoon, early evening smorgasbord, accompanied by lavish cocktails and good friends, inevitably led to music and dancing as well as an early retirement for most of the revelers. Our intent was to get up early and spend the day on the beach, followed by one of our planned diningout experiences at the Sea Dog Brew Pub or maybe Barefoot Bob’s Beach Grill.

The next day was perfect. We were fortunate that the weather had been decent so far, and we were hoping for it to continue. We did exactly what we planned on doing: lazed on the beach and stuffed ourselves at the Sea Dog Brew Pub. Nantasket and World’s End were a fun-filled and enjoyable destination which we all plan to visit again. That night, we also made it early-to-bed, in anticipation of our departure in the morning for Provincetown. Three of our boats were to be in slips at the docks for power, fuel, water, washing and relaxation, while two of us were remaining on moorings for cost-savings.

We woke to cloudy skies and a blustery breeze. The temperature had dropped considerably, and we were hoping the weather wouldn’t get worse. After checking NOAA weather, we headed out. As we rounded Hull Gut and came out into Massachusetts Bay, heading southeast toward P-Town, we hit head winds and four- to five-foot seas, which was not pleasant. One of our boats radioed that they were turning north for home. Our four remaining boats were determined to make Provincetown before dark.

We made it just before dark, weary after the day’s run.

The next day, the sky was clear, although the wind continued to blow at a healthy 15 to 20 knots; the boats on moorings were being knocked about pretty well. We decided to leave the dinghies secured to the boats and take advantage of the launch service. P-Town is a real treat, 84 Points East October/November 2013

a great mix of people and places. The eight of us stuck together most of the time, enjoying shopping, an early cocktail hour, an early dinner, and then dancing. We had a blast.

Unfortunately, we had to get back to the boats via the last shuttle, so at 10 p.m., we called it a night. The launch operator turned out to be the harbormaster, and we struck up quite a conversation on the way back. When he saw the boat we were headed to, he became less friendly; we sensed something was amiss.

Apparently, during our absence, he and his mate were patrolling the harbor and noticed that the line we’d used to moor our boat had frayed due to the wind blowing the boat around. We typically use our own lines and feed them through the mooring line instead of attaching the mooring line itself to our boat; we learned this method in the B.V.I. and had had no issues using that system.

The wind action had caused our line to move back and forth against the loop in the mooring line, causing our line to fray. The harbormaster and his mate had to board our vessel and reattach the mooring line to our boat.

When we arrived at our boat, he told us to look at our dock line and see how close we’d come to disaster, and that we should alter our method of hooking up to a mooring. Since this incident, we now tie two dock lines to the mooring line rather than one, and we do it so there is minimal chafing. It was a hard lesson learned, but it could have been much harder. We very fairly tipped the harbormaster and his mate the next morning for their assistance in avoiding a costly calamity.

We left Provincetown the following morning and headed for the Cape Cod Canal, bound for Woods Hole.

The wind was still blowing, but less than before, and we made Sandwich in good time and tried to fuel up there.

Sandwich Marina did not have enough fuel for all four boats, so two boats proceeded through the canal to Onset for fueling.

After waiting around for the other boats to take on fuel, we ran west at no-wake speed until the Coast Guard surprised us on their hailer, saying we needed to “stem the tide” since all traffic needed to stop due to some activity at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. Upon the second directive from the Coasties to “stem the tide,” we decided to determine what was meant by “stemming the tide.” Well, since the tide was running from east to west through the canal, and since we were traveling from east to west, we needed to turn our boats around and face into the current to hold our position. Whew!

Approaching Wood’s Hole is a true adventure. The rips caused by wind against tide caused the boat to list one way, then suddenly the other. The turns were sharp and the current was really running. The one saving grace was that we made it through in one piece. According to Boston Sailing Center’s cruising guide, “Navigating Wood’s Hole is tricky and potentially dangerous – for a combination of reasons.” In a short stretch of time, we editor@pointseast.com

learned them all.

That night, we spent on moorings in Great Harbor.

Much to our relief, it was a quiet evening spent talking with friends and enjoying just being there. Two more stops, each for two nights, and then our vacation would wind down – Martha’s Vineyard, then Nantucket, then home.

Exiting Great Harbor and entering Vineyard Sound was only slightly less worrisome than our entry into Wood’s Hole. The currents around the islands, and the winds, presented quite a navigational challenge. We made it – through five-foot seas and 25-knot winds – but we made it. We spent two delightful nights in slips at protected Oak Bluff’s Marina. We shopped until we dropped, partied on the boats and in the pubs, sunbathed and used all the amenities afforded us at the docks. The most noteworthy activity, however, was “The Jeep Rental.”

When we returned the Jeep, it was with only minor damages and some scratches from the underbrush. We had removed most of the shrubbery from the inside, and we had detached all of the tree debris from the bumpers and wheel-wells. We had cleaned off most of the mud.

We’d had no idea there were so many old, abandoned, over-grown roadways on Martha’s Vineyard.

We left the Vineyard pretty much as we had found it, but rather hastily, the next morning – bound for Nantucket. We were now down to two boats since Matty, Leann, Skip and Kathy had decided to end their trip with “The Island Adventure” on the Vineyard. Paul, Deb, Louise and I had planned on meeting our kids on Nantucket; they were to arrive by ferry before our arrival, and were going to stay with us on our boats for the two days. We had made reservations at the Nantucket Boat Basin and were looking forward to relaxing with the kids.

Well, that’s not exactly what happened.

Upon departure from the Vineyard, the seas were uncooperative, and the weather was unobliging. The short trip from the Vineyard to Nantucket turned out to be one of the longest trips we’ve ever taken. The rocking and rolling, the spray over the bow and the crashing (we lost the canvas struts, and they lost parts of a hatch), and the

fog just about did us in, until we heard Paul on his VHF – calling the Coast Guard.

Approximately two miles from the entrance to Nantucket Boat Basin, in his radio call to the Coasties, Paul had reported that Deb was curled into a ball on the cockpit floor, not moving, and talking gibberish. Paul was certain she was having a heart attack or something as serious. He requested Coast Guard assistance in entering the harbor and getting medical assistance to the head dock. With the Coast Guard leading the way, lights and sirens blaring, all three of our boats screamed into Nantucket Boat Basin ignoring the no-wake signs and pulled up to the main dock where the ambulance was waiting to take Deb to the hospital. Louise went with her to the emergency room in the ambulance. Paul and I needed to relocate our vessels to our assigned slips, and we needed to find out about the children who were meeting us there.

We found the kids, who had brought a car over by ferry and were able to pick up Louise at the hospital. Our children settled into our boats with their belongings, and we had a pleasant dinner with our families, even though Deb was not with us. Louise said Deb had been suffering from dehydration, and we were relieved that she was not more seriously ill. We later learned that Deb had asked to stay overnight. We guessed she needed to slow down some from the pace of the vacation.

The trip home, in rough seas, took two more days. It took us seven hours to get to Scituate, where we stayed overnight. The next morning we tried to leave, but again the seas thwarted us, and we spent another night in Scituate. The next day we made it back to Newburyport and to our home.

And we called this a vacation?

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