Letters Reflections on Limpopo cruise He espoused the virtues of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer while wolfing down sausage. He used a melon as a windblock while making coffee over a can of Sterno. He affectionately referred to us, for days, as “dunces.” So imagine my surprise when, in describing our sailing/camping trip (“The Little Ships of Dunces,” August 2012), editor Nim Marsh referenced Rudyard Kipling, and the Connecticut River was transformed, quite wonderfully, into “the great, grey-green, greasy Limpopo.” How perfect. I’ve lived here all my life and never heard it described as beautifully. It just goes to show: Never underestimate a guy who drinks cheap beer and quotes Yogi Photo by Bob Muggleston Berra! Noah Muggleston could hardly beThe weekend was lieve he was “actually living in the an amazing one for wild” with Dad and his pals. many reasons, but it was my six-year-old son, Noah, who really put it over the top. Gave us some perspective. He kept saying, as the lights of Essex twinkled across the harbor, “Can you really believe we’re actually living in the wild right now?” What we did that weekend was the equivalent of pitching a tent in the backyard, but, man, did it feel like an escape. Like we were light-years from civilization. The thunderstorm Nim mentioned in his article never materialized, and we had the river to ourselves. The ominous clouds parted, and we witnessed a spectacular sunset. They were stolen moments. Beautiful moments. And they were right in my backyard. Bob Muggleston East Hampton, Conn. “Swallows and Amazons For Ever,” Bob and Noah.
There were no grounds for trust I am writing in response to Jim Love’s letter in the August issue, entitled “Race Encounter Was Unsettling,” offering what I hope will be one of the “thoughtwww.pointseast.com
ful replies” he requested. Mr. Love’s description of the incident is detailed and concise. His interpretation of the right-of-way roles of the vessels involved seems correct. It seems the “unsettling” part of the encounter was caused by a difference in the assessments of the situation held by Mr. Love and the captain of the unidentified schooner. On the USCG website, in “Navigation Rules Online,” Rule #17 states: “Action By Stand-on Vessel: Where one of two vessels is to keep out of the way, the other shall keep her course and speed. The latter vessel may, however, take action to avoid collision by her maneuver alone as soon as it becomes apparent to her that the vessel required to keep out of the way is not taking appropriate action in compliance with these rules.” Mr. Love’s discomfort seems to have arisen from an opinion about the urgency or closeness of the coming pass that did not agree with that of the professional captain of the schooner. He reportedly felt the schooner could or would hit him. The reported actions of the schooner suggest that she felt that her turning off the wind was sufficient to avoid Mr. Love’s craft, and that Mr. Love’s course change, just as she did so, was not appropriate. I believe that yelling and gesturing in such situations is a time-honored marine tradition, meant to be instructive. While racing vessels have no special rights of way, they are focused on sailing as fast and on-course as possible; they may often be willing to pass closer to crossing vessels than non-racers are accustomed to. Such close passes cannot be comfortable if one captain does not know the capabilities of the other. Perhaps Mr. Love’s letter could have been titled “A Matter of Trust.” Neil Woodside Rockport, Maine
This windjammer acted arrogantly Jim Love’s letter in your August issue reminded me of an unnecessarily uncomfortable experience I also had with a windjammer coming out of Camden a couple years ago. I was coming down from Belfast in my 30-foot sailboat, headed for Rockland close-hauled on a port tack, with the mainland close by to starboard, also in brisk and choppy conditions. A windjammer (one of the smaller, more maneuverable, ones) came out from Camden and crossed my track well ahead on a starboard beam reach. No problem there. But instead of continuing further east before headPoints East September 2012

ing north, it came around too soon putting us on a collision course. I kept thinking it would bear off to the east, at least enough for us to pass port to port allowing me to continue on my track, but no, it kept coming straight at me. I couldn’t fall off the wind since that would have put me between the bell and the shore, just north of the entrance to Camden Harbor, and giving me Curtis Island as an uncomfortable lee shore if not actual landfall. I was forced to come about and head eastward of the windjammer to avoid a collision. I felt the windjammer acted arrogantly and contrary to the rules of the road. Dustin Pease Rockland, Maine Jim Love responds: Thanks Dustin. I have no interest in starting a “dump-on schooners” thread. I am interested in ideas for how to handle the situation.
‘Private buoys’ are USCG navaids I enjoyed Joel Gleason’s article, “Muscobe’s March to Mecca,” in the August issue, but want to correct a statement made by the author on page 3 regarding passage to Wiscasset Maine down the Back River: “At the Eastern side of the bay, you can go north up the Back River, which takes you to Wiscasset. But it’s marked only with unreliable private buoys, and you need to watch your depthfinder and plotter to remain afloat.” I live on the Back River in Wiscasset and run our 42foot boat down the channel regularly. It is well marked the full length by small traditional buoys that are set each season by the Coast Guard and retrieved each fall to prevent ice damage. The channel’s shallowest point is nine feet, and as long as you maintain a watch to stay in the channel, there is plenty of depth. This is a real shortcut to Wiscasset coming in from the Sassanoa River, and it’s a beautiful ride with less current than in the Sheepscot. The only strong current is when you approach the Westport Island Bridge, where the water funnels through a narrower opening. Cruising this part of the world is well worth the extra effort as you will see some of the most beautiful crusing grounds in the U.S. Doug Smith Wiscasset, Maine
Birders are at top of their game We have just returned from a monthlong cruise through New England waters aboard our Albin 34 Paumanok. My first stop on the way home was to pick up the latest Points East, one of my favorite boating publications. There is always so much of interest and 8

just plain “good reads.” I enjoyed the August issue as much as usual, but do want to point out an error in the bird identification in the photo on page 27 in your feature story of “Muscobe’s March to Mecca.” The bird in the photo is actually a greater shearwater and not a laughing gull. They are pelagic and strong winds sometimes blow them in closer to shore. My husband and I have enjoyed many good looks of greater, Cory’s, and Manx shearwaters over the years, and I hope that others do as well. Thank you for a fine publication. Marcy Klattenberg Pilots Point Marina Westbrook, Conn.
This bird is no laughing matter I enjoyed reading Joel Gleason’s article in your August issue, “Muscobe’s March to Mecca.” I particularly liked the fine photo of the greater shearwater on page 27, top right. Understandable that a nonbirder would identify it as a laughing gull; I am envious of the sighting, as it has not yet been vouchsafed to me. I used Roger Tory Peterson for the shearwater ID. As a longtime birder I am amazed at how I always go back to him in the end. Good find, Mr. Gleason! Susan Woodside Rockport, Maine Editor’s note: Joel had the shearwater correctly identified. The editor still struggles with bird IDs.

The next time you see a lobsterboat at work, smile, and appreciate these great members of our marine community.
Honor our ‘Other Coast Guard’ It may seem strange to hear praise for lobstermen/women coming from a sailor whose boat draws five feet and often has to weave his way through mazes of lobster buoys. Yet, based on my experiences, there is good reason to appreciate them. Sometimes, I think of the people who lobster as the Other Coast Guard. On one occasion, I had just transited Memorial Bridge in my steel sloop Wanderlaar, and was off the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard when my engine came to a sudden halt. I couldn’t shift out of gear.

sail, avoiding a tug and tow with a light headwind and the current turning against me, I anchored just outside the channel near the bridge. I was worried about being swept on the bridge if my anchor dragged. I called the Coast Guard to advise them of the situation, and they asked that I check in with them by radio every 15 minutes. A short time later, a lobsterman stopped by and offered a tow to a mooring so I could straighten things out. He wouldn’t accept anything other than a thank you. I do independent video productions and was shooting footage for my “Practical Kayaking” program. I was out by Wood Island Light (Biddeford area) and quite far from land in the early spring. A lobsterman stopped by and asked if everything was OK. I have a friend who kayaks out to Maine islands year-round and camps on them – even in the winter. The lobstermen have also checked that things were going well with him. When I was shooting a program on New England, I wanted to shoot a typical day on a lobsterboat. Roy Knight and his crew on Pioneer in South Harpswell, Maine, were kind enough to allow me to shoot them at work from sunrise to late afternoon, and went out of their way to be helpful. It was truly amazing to see how hard these men worked at a sustained high pace throughout the day. Talk about the work ethic! Then there are the secondary benefits. Some boaters complain about having to dodge the buoys that mark the traps. Yet these buoys provide useful information to every navigator: the direction and strength of the current, provided at no charge to the taxpayer. So the next time you see a lobsterboat at work, smile, and appreciate these great members of our marine community. Rich Holzer Kittery Point, Maine

The editor loved that flying bridge Just picked up the latest Points East and read my latest of the “Muscobe Chronicles.” Thanks for giving me so much ink. Two little corrections: You indicate that Muscobe has a flying bridge. As you may recall, I removed the bridge several years ago. Also, I believe the bird pictured on page 27 is a shearwater – not a laughing gull (according to my Audubon bird book).

MYSTERY HARBOR/And th e win ner is...
Mystery Harbor offers something for everyone “Hey the Mystery Harbor is Orrs Cove !” “Are you sure?” “Take a close look!” Sure ‘nough. Orrs Cove is home of the Great Island Boat Yard (GIBY) and our home away from home for the past five years. It appears the photo was taken in the spring as there are only a few boats at the docks, no boats are on their moorings and few docks line the shore. Pole Island is magnified and appears to fill Quahog Bay and looks like no island at all. So, it takes the sharp eyes of a sailor to see the details. Orrs Cove is the western most cove extending north from Quahog Bay. In the summer, it can easily be identified by masts of moored sailboats. It is well protected, although strong south winds can funnel into the south end of the cove. It is very well protected at the GIBY docks. There is no room to anchor in Orrs Cove due to the number of private moorings and GIBY moorings. Transient moorings and dockage are available from GIBY, as well as showers, pump-out, water, gas and diesel. The Wheelhouse Cafe has recently opened and serves breakfast and lunch. For those wishing to anchor, there is plenty of room to anchor in Quahog Bay, with good protection north or south of Snow Island. Holding ground in mud is good. Viewing the bald eagles and Osprey nesting and fishing is a favorite pastime, and our grandchildren love to watch the seals. Quahog Bay is a favorite destination for many boaters in the Portland area. Entering Quahog Bay looks daunting with all the hazards on the Casco Bay chart. From the east, diligently follow the markers east of Bailey Island, Orrs Island, and around Gun Point. From the west follow the markers on the chart from the New Meadows River for Goudy Ledge, North Jenny Ledge and Elm Islands.
Entering Quahog Bay, go on either side of Pole Island, staying clear of the ledges clearly shown south and north of Pole Island. If the western passage is used, slow down to reduce any wake for the lobster docks. We have greatly enjoyed spending time in Orrs Cove. We have seen ice all the way to Pole Island in winter, have swum in the warmer water in the summer. And we had an unexpected preview of the air show when the Blue Angels practiced their low-level maneuvering over us. Once you’ve seen a low-flying jet fighter appear over Snow Island and flip on its side for an easy view of the pilot’s blue eyes, you don’t forget the experience. We are writing this as we cruise Downeast on Liberty, our 34-foot Tartan. We enjoy reading the articles in Points East, and use it as a reference for new places to visit and see.

Perspectives Real pirates y last stop on my sailing book tour this summer was to give a talk at a lovely seaside resort in Casco Bay. It was here that I encountered a tour boat full of playacting pirates. Now, few things are certain in life, but one is that every single play-acting pirate (as well as those interacting with the playacting pirates) will invariably say (and keep saying), “Arrrrrrr, Matey.” Let’s make one thing clear: No real pirate every uttered that phrase, nor did any pirate do it in a raspy voice. And no eye patches or hooks. I know this because I once sailed with two real pirates. I met these two ragged, forlorn creatures in a seedy bar in Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard. I was in this bar because I was on a mission. I was on a mission because I desperately needed crew. I had been hired by a charterboat company to sail a 42-foot sloop from Rhode Island to St. Thomas for their charter season. The boat was late getting ready. It was late in the season. My original crew was late and stuck in the Midwest. And the boat was booked for its first charter in three weeks. Someone in another bar in Newport told me about these two seafaring creatures who maintained two bar stools in a watering hole on the Vineyard. He told me they might be available as crew. “They’re good sailors,” he said. “Don’t let any of the other stuff scare you.” So I ferried over to the Vineyard to “interview” them. Indeed, I found them right away on those two bar stools in the aforementioned seedy bar. They were indeed available to sail south at a moment’s notice. One had very sad, vacant eyes. The other’s eyes seemed to still hold the remnants of a long-ago mischievous nature, though now they were mostly filled with a look of resignation. We consummated the deal, which was simply that they get aboard the next day in Newport. Their eyes lifted a tad when I mentioned Newport. It must have been the scene of some past drunken escapades. They actually arrived the next day, one with a small seabag, and the other, the one with the sad eyes, with no belongings save for a very expensive camera. I suspected he came to own this through questionable procurement channels. We settled aboard. I mentioned that the boat was quickly prepared for sea, and consequently we would be sailing without a whisker pole. That evening, my crew went ashore for some last-minute partying. I thought it best to stay aboard the evening prior to heading offshore,

and continued stowing things, including a bottle of rum with which to celebrate landfall. Twenty-four hours later, we were 50 miles at sea. When I came on deck for my watch, we were running downwind; the genoa was winged out nicely with the help of a first class whisker pole. “Where did that come from?” I asked. They both just shrugged. During the next few days, I tried to engage each of them when on deck together. Mostly they shut me out, though. It was clear they were just a couple of sailing hitchhikers, looking for warmer climes in November, and not disposed to sharing much. Obviously, all this made me nervous, especially one evening when the sadeyed one divulged that for “work” the two of them sometimes teamed up to sink outdated and obsolete IOR racing boats so the owners could collect the insurance. “I pick him out of the water in a 13-foot whaler just as she’s going down. Looks like a delivery accident.” We stopped in Bermuda due to a bad weather forecast. Despite the predicted gale, it was against my better judgment to stop: Those two loose in Hamilton at night would not be a good thing. But, then again, they had no money, so what could they do ashore? Somehow, however, they managed to party hard each of the three nights. At first I didn’t care, but then pieces of the boat began disappearing. I suspected fencing – and I don’t mean the kind with swords. Missing on morning one: new binoculars and a new man-overboard strobe. When confronted, they just shrugged. Missing on day two: a new handheld radio. They just shrugged. It was morning three when the outboard from the inflatable was missing that I decided to call the owner of the charter company back in Rhode Island. “Fire their asses!” he said. “But I can’t prove it. And these two are my entire crew,” I croaked. “Then get out to sea quick before they sell the damn boat out from under you,” he yelled. And so we sailed the 964 miles to St. Thomas to complete the delivery two days before the first charter was to begin. “Let’s break out that rum I stowed,” I said, as I rummaged around in the locker where I’d planted it. But there was no rum bottle. And my crew just shrugged. “Arrrrrrrrrr!” Dave Roper’s “Watching for Mermaids” climbed to No. 4 on the “Boston Globe” Best-Sellers List.

Confessions of a sailor ris Murdoch, in her award winning book “The Sea, The Sea,” says, “If you long and long for someone’s company, you love them.” That describes my relationship to the sea. I am always longing to go for a sail. Whether it be rowing quietly out to the mooring, sitting on deck in a beautiful anchorage, going for a daysail, or heaving to in the Gulf Stream, there is a sense of companionship out there. Having spent last summer sailing again on our 32foot Bristol Paragon in Maine, I, like many of you, enjoy reflecting on those days and the ones that lie ahead. I like to take stock of where I am in life. I plot and scheme to get like-minded people to join me. A lawyer by profession, the plotting and scheming comes naturally. Last summer was a huge success. I tried a few new tactics that some of you might find useful. First I went international. Then I went hightech. I finished with a buy-out. Going international, I signed up for the Marblehead Halifax Race. Going high-tech, I utilized the race webpage to contact crew. I wound up with three wonderful crewmembers. So, in one stroke, I had three crew who not only sailed 350 miles to Halifax with me, but also sailed numerous weekends out of Boothbay before the race. In addition, I had two more crew off the same webpage who met me in Halifax for the trip back to Maine. These tactics came with a price. Racing is not my thing. I was not prepared. Somebody else tells you when

to start, where to end, you have to pay an entry fee to do this, and the purpose is to get to the finish as fast as you can while leaving behind most of the comfortable stuff on your boat. I had the right people but the wrong boat. Paragon, with a racing PHRF-NE rating of 231 (31 higher than the maximum allowed for this event) is wonderfully slow. That was nothing new. Coming in last was easy to accomplish. Dropping out early to make the last night’s celebration in Halifax was more difficult. Being almost swept into the Bay of Fundy by Blonde Rock was truly unfortunate and caused some consternation for those tracking us online. But learning about the safety rules applicable to this race, mostly through one of my crew, got me thinking about the racing crowd and the cruising crowd. The rules require double lifelines. I had only single lifelines. My numberone guy off the crew list had experience racing. He could show me how to deploy the spinnaker. He even took over the helm at the start after I nearly got us run over by a host of crazed big-boat sailors, one of whom started yelling at me. Not only did this crewmember have an encyclopedic knowledge of all the rules, he was invested in them. He had spent his entire boat-ownership career trying unsuccessfully to get up to code. So I felt that I might lose him if I didn’t do the right thing. After a denial by the race committee for an exception, at some ex-

pense double lifelines were installed. There is a book by David Nyberg, “The Varnished Truth,” in which he, borrowing from the Greek poet Archilochus, describes people such as Plato, Lucretius, Dante, Hegel and Dostoevsky, as hedgehogs. These folks relate everything to a single central vision in which there is a certain set of rules which governs the universe. There is another group of people – such as Herodotus, Aristotle and Erasmus – who do not share this single central vision/the one big thing, but know many little things often unrelated and contradictory, diffused and scattered. My feeling coming off the Marblehead-Halifax Race was that there really might be some truth in this hedge-
hog-and-fox thing. Given my personality, I had better get back to cruising, where the skipper makes some of the rules and the ocean makes the rest of them. I was signed up for the Points East Fundy Flotilla. This, too, would be a new experience, another source of finding future crew. This would be a great family vacation. All five of us and a dog. As it turned out, only me and the dog – Lucy, a black lab – were really excited about going. I had never sailed farther east on the coast of Maine than Mount Desert. I had read about this next section of the coast and how isolated it is. This would be a two week trip leaving Northeast Harbor and then going east via Grand

Manan and up through the Reversing Falls in Saint John, New Brunswick. We would venture up the St. John River and back to St. Andrews in Passamaquoddy Bay. We would be wined and dined at each port, under the careful and protective eye of Bernie Wideman – our flotilla leader. This would be the buy-out. However many bed and breakfast places it would take and chilled bottles of Chardonnay, no expense would be spared. I could make this trip work for my wife, Marcia, and our kids. I had read a book in the local library by William F. Buckley in which he relates the story of his trip up the St. John River. He says in the book that it is the most beautiful river he has ever seen. I also knew some of the harsh realities. Huge tides, potential fog and rain, and distances between ports of up to 60 miles on our itinerary – nothing for the faint of heart on a boat like Paragon. I also knew our family dynamics. My wife had the requisite time off work. Our 13-year-old daughter, Anna, had nothing planned in this period, and she was sick of summer camp. My two college boys would be temporarily home from school and could roll with the punches. They would be on board for the first five days, long enough to help sail the boat up to Saint John, and off soon enough to relieve the rest of us from excessive crowding. It worked. Over the course of 25 years of marriage and several more recent years of intense lobbying, I had managed to get Marcia to say “OK.” Our dog Lucy and I loved the trip. Lucy got to be included in everything and could swim. Anna got to do a lot of summer homework with help from her brothers. Marcia was forced to be on a boat, which kept her away from a full-time job outside the house. Our boys got time together as a family. For me, it was as challenging and rewarding as any sailing. editor@pointseast.com
The flotilla – as fast it seemed as the Halifax raceboats – consisted of 15 boats: eight power and seven sail. The average length of the sailboats, excluding Paragon, was 44 feet. We had good weather but headwinds. First to leave and last to arrive at each port (except one), we twice had to leave the night before everyone else and our departure times were off-script: 1 a.m. out of St. Andrews (and down through Letite Passage under full moon on a strong ebb tide, shooting stars overhead), 3 a.m. out of Grand Manan (into 30knot headwinds and chop that swept the boat bow to stern, forcing us to retreat), 9 p.m. out of Gagetown (with my wife lighting up the nav buoys with a spotlight). But we never missed a cocktail party or dinner. We got to know great folks of every stripe on this flotilla but, sadly, no other children. There was a doctor, a college professor, an artist, a farmer, and small-business entrepreneurs among others. They all owned, without exception, beautiful, fast and capable vessels. They
routinely cheered for us as we came into each harbor like lost sheep wandering home at night. And there was truly a feeling of camaraderie in this flotilla. We were not the only ones being looked after – there were mechanical breakdowns and a few medical situations where folks with the right skills pitched in. It took Marcia and Lucy one more week of vacation at home to recover. For my wife, bless her soul, there has been a kernel planted that someday may grow into a desire to do this again. For me – and all those who sailed with me or past me – this summer, there was a shared companionship with the sea. Beverly, Mass., resident John Slingerland has purchased an Oyster 41, which will stay in the Carribean until Spring 2013. “It will be with great sadness that we say good-bye to Paragon,” he says, “but I think I’ll do considerably better keeping up with everybody if I do the flotilla again – and I may have an easier time talking my wife into going.”

An uncertain age he muck of Boston Harbor was particularly malodorous at low tide midday in June of 1985. Inside our little renegade marine enclave in the Fort Point Channel were moored a motley collection of craft – some functional, others not so much. Most noteworthy was the former Riker’s Island prison ferry, now converted to offices, the m/v Chelsea. Now, “m/v” stands for “motor vessel,” but her ancient diesels had long-since been stripped out, and she was a nautical poseur. Alongside her protective bulk were tied sundry craft inhabited by souls on the margins, myself included. There was the lecherous post-middleaged, once-prominent, electrical engineer whose primary use of his aged wooden sailing vessel was to attract age-inappropriate female crew. I would have thought him a tad pathetic, but that would have begged the question of my own lightly tethered hold on reality at the time. More ill kempt, but much younger, was Paul, the owner of Snarleyow, an aged wooden power yacht. No description I can craft is likely to improve on whatever
T
image sprang to your mind on hearing her very name: Snarleyow. That brings us to the most quizzically named craft in our little harbor: Chicken Lips. Her quietly remarkable owner was Cliff. I was beyond fond of Cliff. Though wizened and diminutive, over several years he helped me keep docks tied together in vicious gales, cleared boat-killer ice away from tender, old, wooden hulls, and performed a thousand other tasks, always refusing compensation. And if ever the expression “even-keeled” applied more to a man than to a vessel, it applied to him. An oft-observed landside phenomenon was the morethan-occasional resemblance of dogs and their owners. In the floating domain of the Fort Point Marina, so it was with Cliff and Chicken Lips. They were both a bit “off,” so to speak. But they were also both sturdier than their ages would suggest and surprisingly reliable. There was nothing pretty about either of them. Cliff had painted the deck of his 16-foot runabout the color of International Distress Orange. This is a hue so lurid

that it is used for safety markings the world around. Suffice it to say, orange is not a yachty color. The stout little boat was powered by a recalcitrant outboard of uncertain vintage. Cliff was also of uncertain vintage. Though I knew he was retired, he really could have been anywhere between 55 and 75. The primary reason for this, I believe, was his lifelong cigarette habit, two to three packs a day. His face was lined so deeply that good hygiene would have required something akin to excavation. As to the color of his skin, I will just be kind enough to say it wasn’t healthy looking. Cliff would venture out weekly to his lobster traps.

But back to that Friday many years ago, when there came, quite by accident, a paradigm shift in Cliff’s lobster campaign. One of our Fort Point neighbors was an energetic young Boston firefighter, who also had a newly purchased lobsterboat, which was impressive. She could, and did, go offshore with radio antennae bristling and radar rotating reassuringly. The marina was inside the truly ancient Northern Avenue swing-bridge, whose functioning was less than reliable due to worn and broken parts, both human and mechanical. At high tide, nothing but the smallest launches could pass under her spans. This is relevant as, at high tide that day, Cliff spotted the new lobsterboat sitting almost decks-awash at her dock. “Decksawash” is a nautical term meaning “about to sink.” He called out to me, “Richie, call the Coast Guard.” I yelled back, “Cliff, they can’t get through the damn bridge at high tide.” Just as I was frantically trying to think of some solution, I heard the pocketa-pocketa rumblings of Chicken Lips firing up. And there was Cliff, laboring mightily to load our large gas-fired pump into his small cockpit. I leapt to assist him, and we both motored off to the vessel in distress. Once brought to life, the pump with its three-inch hose drained the water from the stout new boat in record time. The only evidence of the neardisaster was a very high scum line on the otherwise
pristine hull. Early evening that day, the owner of the rescued craft sought us out. We both received rib-crushing bear hugs from this robust figure, and were nearly drowned in his tears of relief. He had lobbied long and hard with his young wife to justify the boat’s purchase, and the vessel’s insurance status was . . . uncertain, shall we say. In his gratitude, he insisted on compensating us for saving his pride and joy. Cliff started to demur, as usual, but the young man would not hear of it. Then the firefighter/lobsterman had a Solomonic epiphany. Slapping Cliff on the back so energetically it might have toppled him, he announced that every Friday for a year he would deliver to us six of his best catch. It was a brilliant stroke, and poetic to boot. Cliff beamed, and I smiled inwardly at the thought of him “bringing home the bacon” all those Friday nights, to the delight of his loving and tolerant wife. The deal was struck. When Richard lived on a houseboat in the Fort Point Channel, he spent seven years restoring a 1939 53-foot Elco Tri-Cabin. He now owns a 1979 26-foot Paceship, called by “Practical Sailor” “the most pimped-out Paceship in America.” She lies in Beacon Marine Basin in Gloucester, Mass.

R.I.-based Salty Dawg Rally to take second fleet to B.V.I. The Salty Dawg Rally, a new cruising rally, kicked off its 2012 season with more boats, more sponsors, new web domains, and a joyful pre-departure barbecue party in Nanny Cay, Tortola, B.V.I., that drew accolades from the Government of the Virgin Islands. The rally, free to all participants, leaves Hampton, Va., in the fall, headed for the British Virgin Islands and other Caribbean ports, and returns to the participants’ homeports in the spring. It was founded by Bill and Linda Knowles of Bristol, R.I., with their Jeanneau 54DS, Sapphire, and their Jack Russell terrier, Brie, the original “Salty Dawg.” The Salty Dawg Rally is comprised of blue-water sailors who have completed at least one bluewater passage. There is no formal inspection of each boat, since it is the responsibility of each skipper to have proper safety equipment and to ensure that the vessel is prepared for the passage. Information including weather, Gulf Stream analysis, location of eddies, and daily weather forecasts during the passage is provided to each skipper by well-known weather router Chris Parker, courtesy of Rhode Island’s “Blue Water Sailing” magazine. Volunteer Dick Giddings manages float plans for all of the boats in the fleet, and maintains a daily SSB radio schedule, as well as daily positions for everyone (via HF radio and SatPhone). It is each skipper’s responsibility to decide the course and whether or not to set out for the passage. FMI: Contact Bill and Linda Knowles at svsapphire@aol.com. editor@pointseast.com

Eastport welcomes first cruise ship Eastport, Maine, welcomed their first cruise ship Aug. 3. She was the Grand Caribe, a 96-passenger small ship owned and operated by Blount Small Ship Adventures out of Boston. According to Doug Parker’s Cruise Radio, their motto is, “Going where the big ships cannot.” While Bar Harbor gets around
100 cruise ships per year, Eastport welcomes five calls this year, three from the Grand Caribe, Cruise Radio said, which quoted Natalie Brown, a port authority employee as saying, “We have a cruise-ship committee that has been working for some years to make this happen. For this first visit, we are only charging the boat owners a minimal docking fee, as this is more about promoting the community. We expect that those who come ashore will be spending money in downtown’s shops and restaurants.” FMI: blountsmallshipadventures.com, http://cruiseradio.net.
Two men, a boy rescued off Jonesport The Coast Guard rescued two men and a boy from a life raft after their fishing vessel caught fire approximately 15 miles east of Jonesport, Maine, Aug. 9. Coast Guard Sector Northern New England received a relayed 911 call from state police at approximately 11 a.m. from the 42-foot commercial fishing vessel, Promise Land, out of Eastern Harbor, Maine, reporting that their vessel had caught fire and they were entering their life raft. Coast Guard Station Jonesport’s 25-foot response boat, small crew, and a 47-foot motor life boat crew immediately were deployed. A Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter was diverted from Rockland, Maine, and an Air Station Cape Cod HU-25 Falcon jet was launched.

Boating has been an adventure and a thrill; now it’s a passion that’s resulted in boats of ever-increasing size. We see it becoming a career if we don’t run out of time. By Bob Brown For Points East ’m 63. My wife, Louise, is younger. For various reasons, 13 years ago we decided to “get into boating.” Don and Louise’s friend Debbie had taken
I
us out, once, in his boat in the Merrimack River, and we became infected with the pastime. Also, Louise’s father had always had a watercraft of some type; his stories were so memorable that she thought it would be fun to buy a boat. The first step was to find it.
A couple of years ago, we found the boat of our dreams, in Essex, Conn., and bought it: a 1991, 46-foot Post Sportfish. Guess what? We don’t fish. Photo by Trish McGregor
Having been automobile repossessors, we felt confident in our abilities to spot a good deal. We began our search by visiting boat dealers who handled repossessions. We quickly found a suitable craft: a 1989, 21-foot Four Winns. We made what we thought to be a skilled and outlandishly low-ball offer. To our surprise, it was immediately accepted by the out-ofstate bank, which even threw in a trailer. Our confidence somewhat shaken, we closed the deal and
brought it home. It was November. I am from Ohio…central Ohio. There is not much water in central Ohio. Growing up, I never thought much about boats or boating. I firmly believed in my Zodiac sign, which is land-based. My attempts at swimming and lifesaving merit badges had defined swimming, for me, as “staying alive in the water.” Many years ago, I moved from Ohio to inland Maine on a whim, then from Maine to inland Mas-

sachusetts for work, and then from Massachusetts to inland New Hampshire for political reasons. Finally, I moved to Hampton Beach, N.H., for selfemployment. Until I was 50, my beach business, being seasonal, did not allow for extracurricular summer sporting activity; again, boating had not crossed my mind. It entered our minds when I got a regular job with regular hours, benefits, weekends free, and real vacations. So here we were, November 1996, a repo’d boat named Half Mine (half hers and half mine; the broken half always to be mine). It was stored in the side yard at the house, and we had no clue what to do with it come springtime. The answer was to take a boating course. The course was informative, but it was like learning how to drive a car without ever having been in one. The instructions and terms were mysterious, foreign, overwhelming and frightening. But this did not quell our

excitement (and anxiety) about the upcoming boating season. There is nothing so much fun (and somewhat daunting) as starting something new. Don and Debbie’s boat, Mudslide, was docked at Larry’s Marina in the Merrimack River. Our new Half Mine managed to secure a slip next door, much to Don’s surprise. Someone from Larry’s launched our boat and got it
into the slip for us. I was apprehensive from the first step I took onto the boat in the water: It tipped back and forth, and it was not as stable as it had been in the side yard, at home, on the trailer. Louise, of course, was more comfortable since she was “experienced” (besides boating with her dad, she had owned a small sailboat with four other families). Heart in hands (and stomachs in mouths) we started the motor, untied the lines, put it in reverse, and ventured forth on our first, never to be editor@pointseast.com

slip we had just left? It is hard to describe the trauma (and excitement) we felt at this first attempt at boating. The following weekend, Don wanted to show us the trick to getting out of the mouth of the Merrimack River (we’ve since discovered, and been told, that the mouth has one of the most aggressive currents in the Northeast). There were at least 1,000 boats in the mouth that morning, with four- to six-foot

We quickly learned with our overnight trips to the Essex River above

Gloucester, and to Portsmouth, N.H., and York and Kennebunkport, Maine, that our prized, 21-foot cozy yacht, with no camper canvas, was not enough boat for our adventures. We needed a bigger boat. We kept the Four Winns for that one boating season before finding the boat of our dreams, a 1989, 27foot Carver Montego. It was to be a go-anywhere, stay-anywhere, liveaboard type of vessel. We were thrilled. It was our second season, our second boat, and we had changed marinas to be closer to the ocean. We were now at Cove Marina on the Merrimack River, closer to Newburyport with all its great summer activities. We were meeting new friends while still maintaining our old friendships. If the first year was an adventure, the second was thrilling. Our trips included: the Charles River for the Fourth of July; DiMillo’s Marina in Portland, Maine; Martha’s Vineyard; The Dockside Restaurant in Gloucester; Kennebunkport; York; the sighting of the Emerald City; and the trip on which we were escorted by the 1,000 dolphins. It was astonishing how much we learned in those first two seasons, with the two blown motors, the loss of steering, the broken hoses and bent props – firsthand experience was truly our best education. Our new friend, Paul, never cared much for the Carver. He said he’d rather “have a bad headache than a Carver” (he had a 30-foot Sea Ray Express). But we loved our boat – until our trip at the end of our second season through the Cape Cod Canal to Newport, R.I. It was a very rough trip with rough seas, and our lightweight Carver was no match for what we were asking of her. Paul claimed he and Deb were “drinking champagne in stemware” while we were following him, holding on for our lives. We needed a bigger boat. Since Paul had been soooo comeditor@pointseast.com
fortable on his Sea Ray, we opted for a similar boat. Before boat shopping this time, we really did our homework. We knew, before looking, that we wanted a 34-foot Sea Ray Express, built somewhere between 1984-1987; anything newer would be too expensive. We started the search, and found one at Great Bay Marina in Newington, N.H. Unfortunately it was not for sale. It was up on blocks and needed help, but it was a 1989. We tracked down the owner, who said, “It’s not for sale.” We made him an offer anyway, which he accepted. Our third season was starting with our third Half Mine, and we were thrilled. Paul was so upset that we had a bigger boat than his, he immediately sold his 30-footer and got a 39. The 34 was perfect. We went anywhere, anytime, and what a great party boat with full camper canvas and wide beam, rainy, dull nights stuck at the docks weren’t so dull anymore. For seven seasons, Louise and I took Half Mine from Northeast Harbor, Maine, to Liberty Landing, N.J., and we loved every minute of every adventure. This was when our boating pastime went from an adventure and a thrill to a passion. Just the other morning, I asked Louise what her three most memorable boating adventures have been. She immediately said her first was seeing the Statue of Liberty while coming down the East River; her second was our trip from Castine, Maine, through the Eggemoggin Reach; and her third was our bareboat charter out of Road Town, Tortola, B.V.I., to Anegada Island. It amazes me how she and I can have such different ideas. My most memorable voyages, to date, have been the “rogue wave” that broke over our bow on the way out of the river one day; the “assault on Hog Island” in the Essex River one night by Paul and me; and the day the dolphins traveled with us out beyond Cape Ann. www.pointseast.com
Now, I’m 63 (Louise is younger). We had thought about buying a condo in Florida for retirement; but then we thought about a bigger boat for retirement instead. A couple of years ago, we found the boat of our dreams, in Essex, Conn., and bought it: a 1991, 46-foot Post Sportfish (we don’t fish). Almost immediately, the price of diesel skyrocketed and our on-water adventures took a nosedive – except for Provincetown, but that’s another story.

It was agreed that I would work on a plan and get back to the group with my progress. In the meantime, we had three more boats commit to the trip. Now we were up to six boats and the emails are flying. Through the winter, charts and cruising guides were studied. Could we really do this without an overnight? Yes, if we left from Mistake Island, Maine, and went straight across to Yarmouth, N.S. It’s 90 miles, and given the long days in July, it seemed possible. The only problem was the Fundy tides, and everything would need to be timed perfectly. The other issue was that we still would need to get around Cape Sable’s very strong currents. And none of us had ever experienced this piece of water. I started to have my doubts about my crossing plans. When I start to question my own plan, it is usually time to ask for help. Bernie Wideman from Points East has been very generous in sharing his knowledge with me in the past. Af-

a safer crossing and would put us clearing customs in Shelburne, N.S. Once I explained the situation to everyone, all agreed it was the safest way to approach the crossing. Because I was the one doing the planning, I chose Frenchboro as our departure point. We would have a lobster dinner (and blueberry pie) on the Lunt’s pier the night before. Everyone was up for that. Now all we had to do was get our boats and our lives organized for a two-week trip. As we got closer, life conspired to prevent three boats from going. But the original three stayed committed to the trip. It’s amazing how everything happens just when you are trying to leave on vacation. We all had lastminute “emergencies” to deal with. For Marty and me, it was the death of our dinghy engine. With the help of Jeff’s Marine in Thomaston, we picked up a replacement two hours before we left Rockland. Finally out of Rockland Harbor and on our way, we had a fog-free sail to Frenchboro via Camp Island. The three boats with three couples met in Frenchboro for dinner, and we were off first thing the next morning.

The passage across was fog free and fast. We sailed the entire way, averaging over seven knots. If there were any issue going across, it was the abundance of whales that decided to breach in front of us and run down the side of the boat. Two in particular scared the heck out of us. We braced ourselves for an impact that thankfully never came. Once in Canada, we had a great two weeks. All of the harbors we visited were special in their own way. And, in Canadian fashion, we were welcomed everywhere. Our final goal was Halifax, and our arrival was perfectly timed to coincide with the Tall Ships Celebration. From the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, we drove to the downtown Halifax waterfront. The atmosphere was festive, with 10,000 Canadians enjoying this celebration of sail. Our friend, Ben Fowler, gave us some great advice for the return trip. “For every day east, plan on it taking two days to go west.” and “Leave early every morning.” The wind was usually blowing 25 on the nose by noon. We followed Ben’s advice and had a mostly easy trip west. To enter three harbors, we needed to take leaps of faith. For Deep Cove and Rogue’s Roost, the question was, Is there really an entrance there, and can I get around those rocks? The third was entering a very tight, but buoyed, channel to the Brooklyn Marina. It didn’t show on any of my charts, and we questioned,

Was really seven feet of water at low tide. In every case, I had to trust the cruising guides, and, in every case, there was a reward on the other side. Bernie advised us to use Lockeport as our jumping off point for the return home. Lockeport had everything we needed: fuel, water, food and Internet at the library. After a one day weather delay we left Lockeport at 7 a.m. The weather was fog with light winds from behind. It was exactly the opposite of our trip two weeks earlier. All three boats motored to Northeast Harbor where we cleared back into the U.S.A. at 10:30 the next morning. So here we are standing at Clifton’s Dock after just clearing customs, and I hear, “So Russ, where are we going next year? Next year? I’m not sure. But in 2014, I’m sure I want to go back to Nova Scotia. Russ & Marty sail their C&C 40 Skira out of Portsmouth, N.H., and Rockland Maine. Lifelong sailors, they made their first trip Downeast in 1985. That was the beginning of a 27-year love affair with the coast of Maine. They put a mooring in Rockland Harbor in 2000, which has been a perfect jumping-off point for their sailing adventures. They have cruised east to the Canadian Maritimes and south to the Chesapeake. Russ is a past commodore of the Portsmouth Yacht Club and the Piscataqua Sailing Association.

Off to Bucks Harbor the next morning. A delightful sail brings more harbor seals, then porpoises and lobster pots of every color, bobbing in the ocean as we pass. This is one harbor that fans of Robert McCloskey’s children’s books should not miss, as it is the actual harbor that he writes about in “One Morning in Maine.” The seals, the little store, the harbor, make it all come to life. I day dream of Mr. Condon bringing my little girl (about to enter NYU in the fall) a vanilla ice cream, smiling at the realization that even if he were a real person, he would long since be dead, and that if an ice cream were offered to my vegan daughter, she would most assuredly refuse it. The scene at the harbor is exquisite, Photo by Ronna Benjamin though, and even my city loving girl is impressed.

after dark, the mosquitoes are gone and we venture on deck. The stars that evening are clearer and more beautiful than anything I have ever witnessed. The Milky Way is clearly visible and magnificent. We scratch and look up at the sky, then scratch again. The next day, we have a long sail to Camden harbor, a pretty harbor and a cute and busy town that’s not as honky-tonk as Bar Harbor. But Camden still has plenty of shops, places to eat and snack, and lots of ice cream. The Camden Yacht club launch leads us to our space in the inside harbor on one of the floating docks.

We can’t believe it . . . this is so . . . MAINE.

Within an hour, the sun has burned up the fog, and we sail on a broad reach with a sunny sky and a wonderful, strong wind. My husband, Capt.

but scalding hot water to come out of the shower head. I am not happy. My husband, thinking quickly, fills up a large pot of cold water for me which I mix with the scalding water, and as I am pouring it over myself I realize that it is the pot we cooked the lobsters in last night, and, of course, a little bit of lobster claw clings to the pot (I am not the most careful of dish washers). I am grossed out and in need of a strong drink. As we settle in for cocktails, we are hit with a small rainstorm that soon results in a vibrant double rainbow, perfectly formed over the entire harbor. We take pictures on our cell phones and email to a few of our friends and family so they can be appropriately jealous of our fabulous vacation. Dinner that night at the Isleford Dock gives us the best sunset of the trip as well as the most amazing oysters on the half-shell I have ever tasted. 4:53 AM: Mike and I are awakened by our itching selves. We have been attacked by super mosquitoes again. Why have we not learned to close up everything at night? The mosquitoes are everywhere, and after Mike closes the hatches, the 10 or so mosquitoes that haunt our cabin taunt us with their buzzing. We spend the next 20 minutes hunting down and killing mosquitoes in revenge, reveling in every kill. Sleep is over-rated. As we leave the Cranberry Islands the next morning, we dodge the lobster pots. Pink and green preppy

They come in every shade and color, painting the green waters at the edges of harbor areas and beyond. We make our way across the short distance to Northeast Harbor, not snagging a single one. I wish I had a few days at Northeast Harbor because of its fabulous access to Acadia, and I am itching for exercise (pumping the toilet just doesn’t do it for me). The mooring is a bit more expensive than elsewhere, but we are able to dinghy to the dock on the east side of the harbor and have access to great hikes. We choose a hike through Thuya Gardens, a magical garden a short hike up, then on a few more miles through deep woods over Elliot Mountain, following a sparsely marked trail, to Jordan Pond. Mike and I are experienced hikers, and we have always joked how great it would be if there would be a Starbucks at the end of a long hike. Here, our wish is not only granted, but improved upon. The end of this hike brings us right to Jordon Pond House, where we sit in luxury sipping our microbrewed beers and snack on their famous popovers. We decide to forgo the hike back and take the free shuttle bus right to our dinghy. It doesn’t get much better than that. In the late afternoon, we explore the town, enticed by the free ice-cream social in the town square. This

they should drop anchor to prevent this from happening. They dropped the anchor, and Morning Star started spinning in a slow circle that caused the anchor rode to jam. As Jim pondered the problem, Morning Star crossed the finish line sternfirst. Buzz, skippered by Richard Stevenson and his brother Doug, placed 1st in the Monhegan Island Double-Handed Class. Rich explained their decision-making process: “We checked the VHF weather channel, checked our laptop for GRIB files, and checked the weather radio. Then we discussed the tactical risks if the reports were wrong, and the big gains if the reports were correct. We decided that insofar as all three sources were uncannily agreeing with each other that we couldn’t go wrong. Then, less than 10 minutes later, and just before we would jibe, a very unexpected and completely unreported 180-degree shift
in the wind occurred. We had our spinnaker up and all of the sudden it was blowing back into our rigging. “The wind shifts and challenges didn’t stop there,” Richard continued. “Later in the evening while listening to the weather channel, the weather alarm went off and there was a report about a quick-moving storm that had potential to produce 80-knot winds, rain, hail, etc., and those in its path must prepare for damaging winds. I looked over at Doug, and we both were wearing the same expression – a pale ‘moon face’ – fitting for the Monhegan!” When Buzz was nearing the end of the race early in the morning, Richard and Doug discovered they couldn’t locate any of their competitors. As they continued to search, Doug looked over at Richard. “This could mean only one of two things: we are either doing really well, or really bad.” Turns out they were doing the former. Congratulations to Buzz, Morning Star, and all the winners. FMI: portlandyachtclub.com.

Apparition takes three Lobster Run awards The third annual Corinthians Stonington to Boothbay Harbor Race (a.k.a., The Lobster Run) saw 17 boats on the line Friday, July 27, just off Stonington, Conn. The committee boat at the start was Aphrodite, the legendary 74-foot commuter yacht built in 1937 for Jock Whitney, completely restored and re-launched in 2005 and now owned by Chuck Royce of the Ocean House in Watch Hill, R.I. The 332-nautical-mile course takes the competitors from Stonington, Conn., around the Nantucket Shoal buoys and on to Boothbay Harbor, Maine, from there. It is known as a navigator’s race with a choice of passing north or south of Block Island as

The Lobster Run, which is staged every other year, is a U.S. Sailing-sanctioned Category 2 event with ORR, PHRF spinnaker and non-spinnaker divisions as well as double-handed and Swan classes and other categories. It is run by the Corinthians (established 1934) in close cooperation with the Stonington Harbor Yacht Club (established 2002) and the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club (established 1870).

A biography of a boat that changed ocean racing Dorade: The History of a Racing Yacht
nobody ever did. Quite the reverse, the Dorade Vent (a cowl vent combined with a Dorade Box) was named for the boat. It was one of the many innovations in both design and equipment that made the Dorade a breakthrough creation that would change the history of ocean racing under sail. Prior to Dorade’s appearance on the oceanracing scene, competing vessels had tended to be rather beamy gaff-rigged schooners, cutters and ketches descended from working sail. Ballast was at least partially in the bilges, and a seakindly motion, along with a

robust build, led to yachts that were faster than their working ancestors but remained roomy, comfortable and safe, and well suited to cruising as well as racing. This type found perhaps its most ideal form in the Alden Malabar schooners that dominated ocean racing for many years. In May of 1930, a sleek Marconi rigged-yawl slid down the ways at Minneford’s yard on City Island, N.Y., and she would change all this forever. Relatively small at 42 feet on the waterline, she was narrow and deep, drawing eight feet, three inches, with all 16,600 pounds of lead ballast outside. At sea, she would not always be dry, and, while running, her tendency to roll could be extreme. Below, her narrow hull dictated the form of bunks that were likened to coffins. Clearly the requirements of comfortable cruising were secondary here. This was a pure racing machine. Critics said that a boat of her general characteristics, small size, and relatively light construction would not be safe under the rigorous conditions likely to be encountered in ocean racing and should not be allowed to compete at all. But as victories continued to pile up, including the Transatlantic Race of 1931 and the Fastnet Races of ’31 and ’33, the critics were silenced. In fact, Dorade proved to be able to carry sail long after many of her larger and more traditional rivals could not, and she won race after race beating many much larger boats in the process.
The story of Dorade is also the story of her then youthful designer, Olin Stephens. Stephens and his brother Rod Jr. were able to take full advantage of the faith placed in them by a rich and indulgent father who backed their yachting interests and ambitions to the hilt. While their peers were following the more standard course of formal education, the Stephens brothers were learning the nuts and bolts of yacht construction, design and sailing on a wide ranging series of family owned boats. They learned well. By the time Olin designed the epoch-making breakthrough Dorade at the tender age of 29, he already had a number of successful designs behind him and was well known to the readers of “Yachting” and “The Rudder.” Brother Rod Jr. was famous as a technical innovator, inventor, rigger, and consummate racing skipper. Dorade’s career under a series of owners is detailed here along with mention of Olin Stephens’ continuing success as he took over Alden’s role as pre-eminent designer of ocean-racing yachts with a long list of superlative competitors including Stormy Weather, Brilliant, Bolero and the successful Cup defender Columbia. Among this long list of design triumphs, Olin Stephen’s best love remained his first love, Dorade, the only boat he actually ever owned. While he ad-

mitted that, technically, she was not the best boat he ever designed, she was the one that first brought him fame, and the one which remained closest to his heart. In the course of Dorade’s long career (at age 82, she is still successfully competing in classic-boat races today), years of victory and renown were eventually followed by some vicissitudes – an owner or two who were less than responsible, the inevitable effects of age, and a short period in history when classic wooden boats were not wholly recognized as the treasures they are today. The story here reminds me a little of “Smokey” by Will James, a novel readers of a certain age will remember about a cow pony who is separated from a doting owner and lives a hard life in the rodeo circuit for a long time only to be reunited with those who love him toward the end of his career. Dorade did have her trials, including an inebriated owner, at one point, who had to be restrained from dancing naked on her deck on the eve of one of the Swiftsure races in British Columbia. This sport, along with at least some of the crew, seemed to have still been somewhat under the weather in the race next day when they managed to put her aground twice, and then collided with and sank another contestant. There were times, too, when she needed work, and it seemed no one would come along to foot the bill. She was donated to a museum, but the museum was unwilling to carry her, and she was auctioned off for a pittance. The story could have ended there, or soon after. Just in time, a rich Italian bought her and had her shipped to Cantiere Navale dell’Argentario in Tuscany, where Federico Nardi was pioneering in the restoration of important classic yachts. Here Dorade underwent the first of two major restorations and her story has been gratifyingly upbeat from thereon. Olin Stephens was frequently reunited with her both in Italy and back in this country when she returned here with new owners. Once again she is in Bristol condition and her true value is recognized. She is with people who love and care for her properly. Like the little horse Smokey, she has come home. Somehow, in our enthusiasm for this beautiful book, we forgot to mention that it is a coffee-tabletype production with lush photos and illustrations to match. Unlike many of it’s ilk, this book is also a great read. Author Adkins – who, incidentally, was aboard, and injured, on that horrendous day when she went aground twice and sank another boat – has written a sympathetic and riveting account.

The Leight is snugged down in Corner Pocket Cove in the lee of Steele Harbor and Black Island in far Downeast Maine.
Fathoming Corner Pocket Cove aving sailed since before rock and roll was known to be a Communist plot to corrupt the youth of America, it’s quite amazing that rarely does a summer pass in which I don’t make a discovery or two, be it stumbling upon a new anchorage or divining ways through troubled waters. Modest revelations, perhaps, but genuine unveilings of unpublished, interesting and useful marine factoids, that are entirely close enough to “unknown” by my measure. So it was I came to fathom Corner Pocket Cove. The Leight was laying in the Cows Yard, under the rugged shores of Head Harbor and Steele Harbor islands far Downeast, an anchorage revered and reviled by sailors. It’s a lovely, wild place, but more or less an open roadstead. Even if you lay under the ledges on the east side of the cove, it can be a busy cup of tea in southerly weather, and not the kind of snug shelter where sleep is untroubled when it breezes up. Taking to the dinghy, armed with a notebook, pen,

home-made lead line and seven foot oars, I set out at low tide to survey the waters to the north and west of the anchorage. A rowing skiff is the thing for such work. Outboards are too clumsy, and noisy. The pool beyond the anchorage proved pretty much as advertised – knee-deep at low – and I found the crooked finger of water cutting into Head Harbor Island mostly dried. A small, unnamed island hanging close under the southeast shore formed a mere stripe of water called Head Harbor Creek. Twenty to 30 yards wide, casts of the lead line showed depths of eight to 10 feet in the middle, and a few rocks close to the small island. A fair-weather gunkhole, ledges gathered to the west offered some protection, but it would require anchoring fore and aft, which is a production for a singlehander. Swinging the skiff south toward the bold battlements of Steele Harbor Island, a string of lobster-pot buoys off Black Island indicated navigable depths, and
I soon came into the pregnant stillness of a velvet-green alcove under the shouldering heights of the islands, a watery gut sluicing between them, like a corner pocket on a pool table. A tatty old mooring ball with years worth of weed streaming from it gave evidence that it had been a long time since a boat laid here. Circling and sounding I was concerned to see a few dark mounds that looked like rocks at first glance but proved to be clusters of sea grass. It took me 20 minutes to take stock of the baseball-diamond-sized pool, and find that it offered six to eight feet at low water and more secure accommodations than the Cows Yard. How exciting. Every second of my ruminations were rife with revelation. Off to starboard, I spied a swell of rock between the pool and shore. A string of ledges making eastward from Black Island formed a veritable breakwater to the north and the little tarn was as still as a millpond. A sweep of a shingle beach on Steele Harbor Island begged exploration, and I soon took its measure. It’s a provocative thing to step foot on a wild shore, and the sense of discovery was heightened when an eagle flew so close overhead I could see its mottled old feathers making way for new, and hear a fleet of resident crows hectoring it, cheeky beggars that they are. Another few minutes of soundings revealed the way to the Cow’s Yard, and soon the Leight was laying quietly in the lee. I felt generously rewarded for my pleasant labors and spent three days in Corner Pocket Cove. I can’t afford to be ignorant of such wild and beautiful things.

LOWELL BROS, continued from Page 72 an 800-horse Man diesel, Thorobred travels at 34 knots top, 30 knots cruise when fully loaded (about 21,000 lbs not including people). “I enjoyed the molding and construction details, some of the stuff was pretty cool, said Joe Lowell. “It was hard to do, but the carbon fiber and epoxy cabin lends well to a lower center of gravity on the boat, which leads to good sea-handling characteristics. And, it sounds little, but I also enjoyed making the nice corner details around the bulkheads and interior of the boat.” Owner John St. Hilaire of South Freeport, Maine, is a fan of the Maine lobsterboat style, and plans to use Thorobred for cruising and island hopping along the Maine coast. “Joe and Jamie have outdone themselves on this design. It’s exceptional all around,” St. Hilaire commented. “What I notice the most is overall its seakeeping abilities, specifically, the way the boat behaves whether we’re going into a sea head on, or taking a beam sea, the boat is the most stable boat I’ve ever been on . . . .The boat peels the water away very efficiently.” Thorobred is powered by an 800-horse Mann R6800 diesel with a ZF325ATS gear and 1.69:1 reduction. A 2.5” Aquamet22 shaft turns a Federal Nibral prop. LOA 38’ 9”, Beam 13’ 1”, Draft 4’, DWL 36’ 6”, Loaded weight: 21,000 lbs. FMI: lowellbrothers@yahoo.com.

Briefly International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS), in Newport and Bristol, R.I., will partner with Maine businesses Front Street Shipyard and the Kenway Corporation to run two open houses on careers and training opportunities in the composites industry. A method of building pioneered by boatbuilders that has a high strength-to-weight ratio, composites construction is used today by many industries, including marine, transportation, wind-energy, aerospace and others. According to the latest tallies from the American Composites Manufacturers Association, in the U.S. alone the composites industry employs 550,000 people and generates $70 billion in revenues per year. The six-month IYRS program, launched in 2010, and is the first of its kind in the rapidly growing composites field. The program runs twice a year, with the next session beginning this September. FMI: Contact Ned Jones at njones@iyrs.org, www.iyrs.org. GMT Composites, Inc., of Bristol, R.I., has been selected by Wood’s Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to build the three primary main ballast tanks on the Navy’s renowned research submersible Alvin. Under WHOI’s management, Alvin is undergoing a major two-stage refit to upgrade its maximumdepth rating from 14,764 to 21,326 feet, in a quest to bring 98 percent of the ocean floor within reach of researchers. Alvin is a human occupied vehicle (HOV) certified by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). Pressures at these depths exceed five tons per square inch, and any air pockets in a laminate would get crushed. No paint will be used on the ballast tanks so they can easily be visually inspected for any void content or damage. Alvin’s passengers will be housed in a new titanium sphere which was forged from two solid pieces of titanium ingots weighing 17,000 pounds each. FMI: www.gmtcomposites.com. New Wave Yachts, with offices in Manchester, Mass., Falmouth, Maine, and now Marion, Mass., has relocated its South Dartmouth (Padanaram) office to the Burr Brothers Boats Yard in Marion. Jim Munro will be at the sales office at 366 Wareham Road, Route 6, in Marion, rather

Mack Boring & Parts Co., with branches in Middleborough, Mass., and Wilmington, N.C, but headquartered in Union, N,J, is celebrating its 90th anniversary during 2012. Mack Boring is an exclusive East Coast factory distributor for Yanmar, Scania, Mitsubishi and Isuzu diesel engines. Mack Boring dates back to 1922 when Ed McGovern, Sr. founded the company. His nickname was “Mack” and “boring” was one of his thriving machine-shop specialties. The company is now under the fourth generation of uninterrupted McGovern family management. To commemorate its milestone, Mack Boring has launched this website: www.mbpc90.com, which includes a company history, written by Steve D’Antonio. Front Street Shipyard, in Belfast, Maine, has expanded with the purchase of the adjacent Belfast Boatyard. Front Street Shipyard partners approved the terms of a purchase and sales agreement, company president J.B. Turner reported Monday, as did Alex Turner (no relation), Belfast Boatyard owner and operator. The parties are expected to sign the agreement next week. Belfast Boatyard leases its site from John Holmes, owner of Consumers Fuel and a small marina. J.B. Turner said negotiations are under way with Holmes for Front Street to secure a long-term lease for the land. FMI: frontstreetshipyard.com. Southport Boats and parent Maritime Marine Group LLC, of Augusta, Maine, has appointed Skip Robinson managing director of the companies’ boatbuilding operations. Robinson will focus on growing retail sales and managing Southport’s dealer network, but he will also have oversight responsibility for production activities. For nearly 20 years, Robinson owned and operated a full-service marina in Buzzards Bay, Mass. After several years as a yacht broker, he became vice president/general manager at Palmer Johnson, and director of operations at Hodgdon Yachts. FMI: www.southportboats.com

New Engl and fish ing repor ts
Maine
Keeper striped bass, 12- to 14-pound bluefish By Peter Mourmouras For Points East Saco Bay, Maine, is the place to be these past few days. Striped bass can be found in the usual locations and, depending on the tide, a bit of searching will usually yield a few quality fish. The average striper these past few trips has moved into the low- to mid-30-inch range. These quality striped bass are eager to strike mackerel in many different forms.
Nick Metayer, at Saco bay Tackle, has been prowling the shoreline in the Scarborough area on evening tides and catching a few quality fish on whole, dead macks. Nick shared that if he runs into a really large mackerel, he’ll just fish the head and use the rest for chunking. One report I read many years ago stated that stripers hit head first 90 percent of the time. Conversely, bluefish are said to strike the tail 75 percent of the time. I think this percentage may be higher,

based on all the tailless mackerel I have retrieved through the years. Like myself, Nick is finding his bass in extremely shallow water (less than six feet). Any of the area beaches can be expected to produce. Bluefish have moved in, and reports are circulating of evening feeding blitzes from Cape Porpoise on up through Casco Bay. The blues we have seen so far are huge fish in the 12- to 14-pound range. The numbers haven’t been great so far, but these fish have been around for nearly a month – very early for Saco Bay waters. Stock up on steel leaders and a few Yo-Zuri deep divers or Ranger surface plugs to catch these toothy predators. Finding diving seagulls is often the key to finding these blues. The tiny terns you typically see diving are usually feeding on sand eels that naturally swim near the surface or get herded by mackerel, pollock and sometimes stripers or blues. Full-size gulls are more scavengers than predators and feed often on the chunks left after a bluefish has destroyed a mackerel or pogy. Look for the
bigger diving gulls and you have a decent shot of finding a school of bluefish. Pogy schools have been scarce in Saco Bay, but when they arrive, bass and bluefish tend to hang on those schools until seasons end. Calm morning are typically the best times to find these schools near landmarks like Eagle Island or the Old Orchard Pier. Fishing deep under the schools with a live pogy (typically snagged) can yield extremely large bass. The mackerel fishing has been outstanding so far this season, with large macks making way for the smaller specimens of later summer. Wednesday our boat had no problem loading up our live well with a couple of dozen fantastic eight- and nine-mackerel, which we floated under balloons for stripers. Chunking has been nearly as effective as livelining recently. Again, fish the head on a hook, and use the latter portion to steak off tiny chunks. Peter Mourmouras is owner of the 22-year-old hard-core tackle shop, located on US Route 1 in Saco, Maine.

Add live-bait/soft-lure combos to bag of tricks By Richard DeMarte For Points East After a few weeks of fishermen scratching their heads, wondering if all the fish and bait have disappeared for good, both returned in force and the fishing action kicked back into high gear. The only exception was the absence of the largest striped bass, which have moved east and north to cooler waters. Have no fear, these behemoth stripers of 30, 40 and even 50 pounds will swing back through this area again throughout the fall as they make their annual migration to the waters of the Chesapeake and spots farther south along the eastern seaboard for the winter. Now is the time for sharpie fishermen to pull out the big guns, deploying their best tricks as they mix it up with lures and live bait to get into the action.
Live bait: At times, live bait will trigger the strike instinct of fish when they are most finicky, so consider putting in a bit of time to load up with some of the smaller bait that’s available this time of year. Break out your cast net and set your sights on getting your share of peanut bunker, snappers (baby bluefish), silversides and bay anchovies. Many harbors, like Port Jeff, Huntington, Norwalk and Stamford, are loaded with these small baitfish in the morning hours. This is also when they’re easiest to spot since the water is mirror-flat and boat traffic is at a minimum. Often, a few tosses of the cast net are enough to load up your bait well with enough bait for a full day’s fishing. But if the bait isn’t easy to spot, and isn’t in tight schools, you can always make a slight shift to your baitgathering tactics by bringing along a few cans of tunafish or catfood and hanging the contents off the stern of your boat in a small mesh chum bag. Snapper blues will, in short order, gather in large numbers around your chum bag feasting like piranha. Then you can either toss the cast net or even use a long-handled dip net to scoop them up. Using these small baitfish for fluke and seabass, on weighted bare hooks or by tipping your bucktails, will surely get you some bites.
Soft baits: Another productive way to fish for porgies, fluke, seabass and bluefish is using of scientifically engineered soft baits, like TriggerX, which are impregnated with pheromones that trigger the feeding instinct of your target species. These soft baits also can be used on weighted bare hooks or by tipping your bucktails. One combination I use with great success when the fish are most finicky is a California rig, with three or five arms, with TriggerX Paddle Tail Minnows on the hooks. These rigs, when connected using a dropper loop 12 to 18 inches above a weighted bucktail, look like a small school of baitfish, and it consistently gets strikes. Bottom-bouncing and drifting: The optimal conditions for drift-fishing this time of year are a moving tide coupled with wind and tide that provide a drift speed of between one-half and 1½ knots. Preferences of bucktail colors vary, with most anglers opting for white, chartreuse or pink. Tip the odds fully in your favor by targeting all three strike senses (sight, motion and smell) of fluke, seabass and blues by drifting a weighted bucktail tipped with a soft bait and an Esca Flasher. This combination can result in two or three times as many strikes, and other fishermen will be wondering, “What’s LI FISH, continued on Page 93

Top-water action: Whether it’s albies, bonitos or bluefish, seeing and getting into top water blitzes is an adrenaline rush, so get out the binoculars and scan the horizon for flocks of birds, especially when they are diving. Carefully approaching the blitz is key to success for yourself and other fishermen that are sure to join in the action. Circle around upwind of the blitz, slow your approach when you get a few hundred yards away, and turn your engines off when you get within a few hundred feet to avoid spooking the fish. www.pointseast.com
Start off by casting top-water lures like the Storm Chug-Bug. Then switch over to shallow swimming Rapala Jointed X-Rap Shad, working them around the edges of the blitz, where the bigger fish usually are. The action will be fast and furious, so stay focused. With lots of hooks flying and other boats in close proximity, accurate casting and careful fish and hook handling are in order to avoid lost fish and hooks imbedded in fingers and hands. Richard (www.nyctfishing.com) is headed to Binghamton University this fall to start his college education, where he’ll be majoring on environmental studies. Earlier this summer, landed, tagged, measured, weighed and released his 1,000th striped bass. He will have a regular fishing column in Points East through the fall. Points East September 2012

Capt. Frank Bedell leaves his charterboat, the Hunter 30 Orion, and heads back to the dock at Round Pond, Maine.
Round Pond’s charter captains here are two charterboats available in Round Pond, Maine. One is a 30-foot Hunter; the other, a Calvin Beal 36. Capt. Frank Bedell owns the sailboat; Capt. Wallace “Wally” Leeman and wife Kathy run the motor vessel. Captains Frank and Wally bring years of varied experiences to the helm. Wally has been fishing Maine waters since he was eight, and fished with his father. He later fished lobster from a dory out of Moxie Cove in Round Pond. He went from the dory to larger vessels, which he used for catching groundfish, shrimp and tuna. He also went after swordfish and did some gillnetting. Frank learned sailing from his father when a youth in Florida. He fished lobster on the Damariscotta River, went shrimping out of Tenants Harbor, and purse seining from Gloucester, Mass. For many years, he operated a Maine Department of Natural Resources vessel. Later, he ran an LCM-8 Landing craft for a construction company off Long Island, N.Y. and a tour boat for the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath. Both men hold 100-ton tickets from the U.S. Coast

Guard. Wally and his wife, Kathy, started Salt Water Charters in 1992. “I got out of fishing in 1990, sold the boat in 1992, and started doing charter work,” Wally recalls. He says he enjoyed fish dragging but decided to get out of it “when you can catch more garbage than fish. We were catching boots, Coke bottles, Old Milwaukee cans. You’d have to pick up everything and look underneath to see if there was a flounder.” He ordered a Calvin Beal 36 and had it built to Coast Guard specs. He named the boat Paige Elizabeth after one of his granddaughters. The vessel can carry 13 plus two crew. “We take people to see puffins, seals and eagles,” he says. “We go island-hopping to Harbor Island, Damariscove, Monhegan, all over Muscongus Bay. We’ll take any kind of trip people want. They can make it up for themselves.” Wally was diagnosed with cancer three years ago. After surgery and chemotherapy, today at age 75 he enjoys good health. He credits Kathy for doing much of the work required to run a charterboat business. Points East September 2012 101
Kathy got her 50-ton license after they started the business. In addition, she is an artist, real estate agent, and she raises Golden Labs. She usually has one or more of the dogs on cruises with her. Wally says the dogs are a big attraction and actually bring them customers. He smiles as he notes just how busy is wife is and her many talents. “She never has two feet on the ground at the same time.” Capt. Frank hosts those who just want to sit quietly on his sailing vessel, Orion, and watch the Maine coast slip by. Other times he might have an overnight charter like one last summer that included three children, their mother and grandfather. The youngsters took over the forward compartment, which included a hatch exit to the foredeck and also the head. Grandfather claimed the saloon for his bedroom. Capt. Frank and the other passenger slept in the cockpit under the stars. They stayed one night in Rockland and another at Harbor Island. He says every charter is different yet all have the common theme of enjoying the silence that comes with sailing and the slow pace of life aboard the Orion. Capt. Wally is renowned in Midcoast Maine for his fishing exploits, which include being highliner for many years but also having some very narrow escapes from sinking. He tells me he never had a boat sink under him, “but we’ve come goddamn close.” He talks about one of his first fishing boats, the 45-foot Tipsy
Parson. “The old Tipsy Parson, she were taking on water,” he began. “We had shrimp in the hold. Oil came up out of the engine room, went all through the shrimp. We was right low in the water. I didn’t want to fish around that thing [on the bottom] for the rest of my life, so I headed her for the hard bottom. I went in the fish hold to the engine room. I was reaching all the way down in the oily bilge water, head and ears in the water checking the seacocks. “I could see water boiling right where a coupling was whirling around under water. The previous owner had put two different size pipe together and just taped them, not cramped them. They’d come apart and the cooling pipe was letting seawater into the engine room. We was sinking fast.” Wally pushed the two pieces of pipe back together and secured them. “We could hold our own after that,” he recalls. On another Tipsy Parson trip, Wally had to go underwater to pound a plank back in place – in February off the Maine coast. “My brother, Arnie, was fishing with me.” He remembers. “We were off Monhegan. A storm was coming on hard from the nor’west. The seas were coming one way, and there was a chop building the other way. Arnie was on the winch, and I had him pretty well schooled. “When a sea came over the stern, it let the doors down in the water and loosened a plank. The water

came starboard over the stern. She was so tender, she couldn’t take that kind of treatment. Arnie finally comes in and says, ‘We’ve got quite an oil slick behind us.’ I knew what that was. I went back and picked up the hatch. There was a lot of water slopping back and forth. We didn’t stand much of a chance with that kind of leak.” Wally says he went forward and got a long spike from his toolbox. He grabbed a four-pound hammer, then stripped up to his waist. “The wind was about 15 degrees cold. I went over the side . . . . When she heeled out, I could see the plank. I could see the hole that had to be plugged. “You can’t pound a spike underwater. When she came out of the water, I could get one or two taps on it. Then I would go back underwater. We saved her. I got that plank on and caulked her from the inside.” Wally says the best fishing boat he owned was the Miss Fortune, a 40- by 14-foot Nova Scotia boat he’d trailered over to Portland. “They brought her over on the ferry. She just would fit through the doors,” “That Novi was a nice boat. She had a better return for any dollar I put into a boat. She was a wooden boat with a wood deck.” But he even had a close call with the Miss Fortune. “In hot weather, the wood deck would shrink. If I hadn’t been out for a couple of days, I always put the deck hose on first thing in the morning to swell it up. Well, the bilge pump wires had cor-
roded, and the pump wasn’t working, so we were sinking ourselves.” That story had a happy ending once Wally realized what was happening. Both Frank and Wally see a good future in the charter business on the coast of Maine. They and their customers like the easy access to the water provided by the facilities at Round Pond harbor. It’s a guarantee that whichever charterboat a visitor chooses, both captains will have many a seafaring story to tell while they cruise the coast of Maine. Caroline Norwood, a resident of Westport, Brier Island, Nova Scotia, is a longtime friend of and contributor to Points East.
