Water-based vs Solvent-based antifouling

Let’s clear the air.

Both antifouling types offer products with different levels of effectiveness.

At all levels, water-based Hydrocoat has proven to be equally or more effective and longer lasting than the best solvent-based products.

And Hydrocoat has 75% less VOCs to pollute the air.

Not only will everyone breathe easier with Hydrocoat, everything about bottom painting will be easier Hydrocoat is easier to apply. It goes over anything; whatever is on your bottom, Hydrocoat will cover it. Clean-up is also easier. A little soap and water is all you need for quick non-toxic clean-up. And there are no hazardous wastes to dispose of. Bottom painting has never been this easy, this clean and this effective.

Editor’s Note

by Duffy Perkins

The Big Top Comes to Town

A

s you’re holding this issue of PropTalk, I want you to know that all of us around the office are buzzing with preparations for the 2015 U.S. Powerboat Show.

The circus of sorts comes to town next month, and if you’ve never been to the Show, you should know it’s essentially Christmas for Boaters. And despite the enthusiasm we have for writing about the Show, we hardly scratch the surface for the amount of excitement it brings to our sleepy little town on the Bay. If you’re a perennial show attendee, then we don’t need to tell you just how great it is to be standing on City Dock during the Boat Shows. But if you’ve never been, maybe we need to twist your arm a little.

Top 10 Reasons to Head to the U.S. Powerboat Show 10 The chance to hang out in 10. downtown Annapolis.

It’s a drinking town with a boating problem, that’s for sure. It also has a parking problem, oyster issues, a bad crab pretzel habit, and a family history of historical re-enactors.

Highly functional, though.

9.

9 Go back to school for what you really wanted to study: boating.

The Cruisers U courses and free seminars that happen throughout the week will make all the time you spend farting around on your boat seem legit to your spouse.

8.

8 Bargains on all the stuff you want and need (and a lot of other stuff).

You wouldn’t think you’d want a fish on a pillow, or a prop on a necklace. You wouldn’t think you need a life raft, but there it is, sitting in your garage, too big to fit anywhere on your boat.

18 October 2015 PropTalk.com

7.

7 Finally: a place where it’s mandatory to take off your shoes and walk around.

Actually, this is the one thing we really wish we could change. Some of us are meant to wear shoes.

6.

6 Pretend, for once, that your boat’s LOA is 60 feet, and not 16.

This is the one weekend where your jon boat gives you a pass, so go ahead and cheat.

5.

5 Ogle PWCs without anyone judging you.

We wouldn’t kick a Jet ski out of bed for eating crackers. Let’s just leave it at that.

4.

4 Nutty Buddies, Pit Beef, and Painkillers.

These are the three food groups of the Boat Show. Notice that broccoli and kale are not allowed inside the Boat Show gates. There’s a reason for that.

3.

3 Find your horsepower limit.

Yes, you do have one. And maybe it’s 1750. That’s for you to decide.

2.

2 Boating is a gateway drug.

It leads to better relationships, elevated emotions, and longer life spans. So head to the Boat Show and get your hit.

1.

1 The PropTalk crew will be hanging out at booth F6.

We’ll be wearing khakis and drinking Bud, slinging magazines, and popping popcorn. Come hang out and get in on this fun. We’ll see you there.

Ride them 10/24 - 10/25 at North East!

Solomons or Solomons Island?

Personal Water Craft to the Rescue

WC operators are often the targets of verbal scorn by those who think they occupy the high end of the nautical food chain: sailors! This past Saturday, we witnessed an inspiring act of seamanship and kindness by a group of six (could have been more) PWCs in Back Creek.

After a wonderful day on the water, racing in the Boatyard Bar & Grill CRAB Regatta, several sailboats were heading back to their berths in Back Creek. One single-handed sailor had a steering casualty, which resulted in an unplanned kinetic interaction with a dock, narrowly missing a collision with a docked yacht with a waterline exceeding 40 feet. The collision resulted in a parting of the forestay and a subsequent dismasting that resulted in the sailor being knocked off his feet with mast, main, and jib all ending up in the water. We didn’t see the collision; we heard

20 October 2015 PropTalk.com

it! We turned around, and what we witnessed was inspiring.

The six (or more) PWCs responded immediately to the mishap, checked on the sailor’s condition, performed emergent damage control, and stabilized the situation. Once health and safety was assessed and confirmed, the PWC flotilla assisted the captain by securing the rig and slowly escorted the captain, hull, and floating rig back to Bert Jabin Yacht Yard dock. Then the PWC flotilla, in concert with the professionals on the dock at Jabin’s, secured the rig and the boat.

A hearty well done to all involved: the sailor who averted the collision with another boat and to the group of PWC operators who responded quickly, compassionately, and professionally in the finest maritime tradition.

Bob and Tracey Shea Annapolis

I

am writing in regards to Capt. Chris Dollar’s article on page 69 in the September issue. He brings up a great point: Solomons or Solomons Island. It depends on if you are located on the island or not. (Many advertise that they are on the island when in fact they are not; they are in the town of Solomons.) Solomons is a town that spreads to just south of Dowell Road. Solomons Island is within the town limits, but it is actually an island. There is a causeway that separates the island from the mainland. It really is an island.

So that being said, I am extremely happy that he didn’t use an apostrophe on the word Solomons (the Post Master General removed the apostrophe around 1870).

n the September Boatshop Reports, we incorrectly named Lauren DiStefano “Linda Destefano,” as well as calling the company (in a caption) Bluewater “Boatworks.” Our apologies to Lauren at Bluewater Yacht Yards in Hampton, VA. We look forward to the boatyard’s regular contributions to PropTalk. bluewateryachtyards.com

Cocktail on the Cover

C

ocktail class boat owner Jim Brewer looks pretty excited to have his boat on the cover of PropTalk last month! His boat #911, with Megan Chambers behind the wheel, won second place in the 6-hp Post-1979 Women and third place in the 6-hp Late Women divisions at this year’s CCWBRA National Championship.

The Imperfect World of Marlinspike Seamanship

A

couple of items in September’s article “Marlinspike Seamanship” by Eric Burnley were of particular interest to me. First is the photo that shows an eye splice around a cleat. I find that impractical because if it is under a load, it can be difficult if not impossible or even hazardous to one’s fingers to remove.

Why not simply use the cleat as it is intended by belaying the cleat and ignoring the splice, which are usually made way too small to be of practical use?...

[He] writes, “In a perfect world, I would have a heaving line ready, but I don’t live in a perfect world.” What prevents him from having a heaving line ready? If the entire article is about seamanship and being ready, why does being in an imperfect world prevent him from making a heaving line, however imperfect?...

Finally, the photo of the line around the cleat (supplied by BoatU.S.) surprised me when I first saw it because the cleat is belayed improperly. The line with the strain does not appear to have a fair lead and should instead be led on the opposite side but still to the same horn.

Again, this is about safety and releasing under a load.

The article concluded with “The more you know about marlinspike seamanship, the better you will treat your various lines and the better they will serve you.” The author may very well be an expert fisherman, but this article and accompanying photos at least belies a certain misunderstanding about belaying.

Shipwreck Found in Nanticoke River

L

ate in August, an 18th Century shipwreck was discovered by the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) at the bottom of the Nanticoke River near Vienna, MD. SHA workers were removing debris from under the Route 50 Bridge when they realized that some of the wood might actually be ship timbers. SHA archaeologists were immediately notified and found an intact keel, frames, and confirmed ship

land’s shores. The ship was held together with wooden pegs, or treenails, but few iron fasteners, which are signs of early shipbuilding. The ship’s timber remained fairly well preserved and showed evidence of saw marks and small, carved symbols that were still visible in the wood. Archaeologists hypothesize that this vessel may have been an early project in the evolution towards the Chesapeake Bay cargo-carrying pilot schooner.

##Archaeologists determined that some of the wood recovered was ship timbers from an 18th century shipwreck. Photo courtesy of the Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration.

timbers. Pieces of the wreckage were removed to the Maryland Archaeology Conservation Laboratory (MAC lab) in Calvert County for stabilization and temporary storage.

After examining growth rings in the ship’s timbers, archaeologists estimate that it was built more than 200 years ago with oak trees from the central Chesapeake coast, most likely between the Potomac River and Annapolis.

That could make this discovery one of the oldest Maryland-built shipwrecks recovered in the Chesapeake.

Researchers have also determined that the vessel was a merchant ship, measuring up to 45 feet long, and was probably built at a small shipyard or plantation along Mary22 October 2015 PropTalk.com

“The inadvertent discovery of this shipwreck is an amazing opportunity to study early maritime history”, said SHA chief archaeologist Dr. Julie Schablitsky. “It reminds us how Marylanders used to move goods and people across the region.”

The SHA has not yet decided what to do with the shipwreck or how best to share it with the public. The administration is currently in the process of documenting the wreck with a 3D laser scanner to try and determine what she looked like when she was floating on the river versus sitting on its bottom. Stay tuned for updates on the wreck at jefpat.org/mac_lab.html and roads.maryland. gov/Home.aspx.~K.J.

ne of the highlights for sailors coming to the U.S. Sailboat Show is always the Cruisers U course offering, which brings in informative courses designed to complement boating skills and knowledge gaps that even the most highly skilled sailor might struggle with. But now, sailors aren’t the only ones having all the fun.

This year, powerboaters will have the chance to experience Cruisers U with the same offering of excellent courses, simply designed for a motorhead audience. Boaters can select from one- to four-day programs from one of the most comprehensive cruising curriculums anywhere on the East Coast. Educational materials and on-the-water resources are provided, and all classes are held at the Historic Inns of Annapolis.

More than 40 seminars and electives are scheduled for the weekend of October 12-15 (between the Annapolis Sailboat and Powerboat Shows, with an overlap on Monday), covering everything from troubleshooting your boat’s systems to understanding weather patterns. PropTalk contributors Gene and Katie Hamilton will present a seminar on their favorite Great Loop destinations, while Steve Zimmerman will present on prop drive systems. There will be seminars on topics from improving your docking skills to getting all the way south to the Bahamas. You can speak with experts on the best ways to buy a boat and then speak with highly experienced cruisers on how to start your planning.

The beauty of Cruisers U is that throughout the week boaters make friends that they’ll see in one port or another along the way. Cruisers U is the place where boaters go to step up their on-the-water game, learning from the best in the field how to move forward.

Let’s Go to the Movies!

T

he Chesapeake Film Festival, held annually, is known for bringing in both stories on local culture and national features headed for Oscar recognition. This year’s Festival (held September 1820) will again showcase films that we know we will hear about later in the year, but we’re particularly interested in two that shine a spotlight on Chesapeake Bay boaters.

“Cuba: The Past is Living Now” takes a look at the trip of a boat owner, navigator, fisherman, and filmmaker as they set sail from West Palm Beach, FL, and head to “the real” Cuba. Anyone who is interested in taking a boat to Cuba will be fascinated by their footage both from the water and then on land, as the crew explores the culture, the history, and the food.

“Cuba” is the product of Annapolis resident Ashley Love, a sailing videographer for T2P.tv, who sailed with Dave Dunigan and Duncan

Spencer. The film will be shown Saturday, September 19, at 6:15 p.m. at the Avalon Theatre in Easton. Just a quick warning, though: watching this film has made more than one boater decide to put Havana on the 2016 manifest.

A second film highlights the lure of boatbuilding on the Chesapeake, albeit from a new perspective. “June Adrift” is the story of Emma, Rachel, and Barkley, three millennial women who “could use a little escape” from their underwhelming jobs and lackluster lives. Leaving everything behind and driving 3000 miles together from California to Maryland, they commit to spending the summer building a boat on the shores of the Upper Chesapeake. Lacking in plans (both boat and otherwise), they find themselves learning the importance of their unique project and also their pride.

“June Adrift” is a fun story that will inspire generations both young

and old, Chesapeake Bay residents and non-boaters alike. The film screens at 9 p.m. on Saturday in the Avalon Theatre.

Good Samaritan Saves Lives

I

t’s one thing to take safety precautions and responsibility for your own boat. But how quickly do you think you would respond to an emergency on another boat?

Annapolis resident Shawn Harlan wasn’t necessarily thinking about the safety of others when he went out for some singlehanded sailing on Sunday, August 9. But as he passed under the Bay Bridge, he noticed five people in the water, in obvious distress. “I made an initial VHF call to the Coast Guard as soon as I understood what the situation was,” he says, “and I evaluated who needed help first. A young girl and boy had drifted from the other three, and seemed the most in danger of drowning. No boat was to be seen.”

Harlan pulled the two youngest children, as young as five years old, into his sailboat and threw cushions from his cockpit to the others to use as floating devices until he could get them into his boat as well. In the meantime, he made a second call to the Coast Guard alerting them of the current state of the situation and his work in recovery. Once he had all of the victims in his boat, he stayed on the scene waiting for the Coast Guard to transfer the five and work with MD Natural Resources Police, who shortly arrived to search for a sixth missing boater.

Candus Thomson, spokesperson for the MD Department of Natural Resources, stated that the boat that sank was a small 17-foot boat that launched out of Sandy Point State Park with six persons aboard:

two fathers and four children. The boat suffered engine troubles and started taking on water shortly after it passed under the bridge. “It sank in a matter of minutes, if not seconds,” Thomson said in a statement, “and the passengers did not have time to put on their life jackets.” A sixth man, identified as the father of one of the children, was recovered days later.

Shawn Harlan doesn’t see himself as a hero. He sees himself as being in the right place at the right time. Fortunately, for five people, he was the right guy in the right place at the right time. His quick thinking and experienced seamanship saved lives.

Read PropTalk columnist Mike Edick’s take on the accident on page 42.

***NOTICE TO BOATERS*** Effective immediately, anyone under the age of 13, in a boat less than 21 feet in length, while underway, must wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket.

art of the fun of collecting sea glass is discovering the best spots to search and understanding why they’re so good,” says Richard LaMotte, a Chestertown, MD, resident and America’s leading author and expert on sea glass. “In the Mid Atlantic, the Chesapeake Bay is one of the better places to find sea glass, and within the Bay, certain spots are better than others. For example, places where steamboats stopped before the 1950s and 60s are usually good spots.”

LaMotte will be at the Calvert Marine Museum Saturday, October 10 as part of the museum’s Patuxent River Appreciation Days. From 1 to 4 p.m.

LaMotte will sign copies of his latest book, “The Lure of Sea Glass: Our Connection to Nature’s Gems.” The public is encouraged to attend and bring their personal sea glass shards to show LaMotte for advice on identifying and dating them.

Since 2002, LaMotte has lectured or hosted hundreds of sea glass events in the United States and Canada, and he is currently president of the North American Sea Glass Association. In his books and lectures LaMotte explains the strategies of successful beachcombing, the history of glass manufacturing, and the basics of the ocean weathering. With his most beautiful pieces LaMotte and his wife have produced sea glass jewelry, as well as calendars, note cards, and other products featuring photographs and information. These items and copies of his book will be available for purchase in the museum store.

Before lecturing and writing on the topic, LaMotte says he could not have anticipated the emotional attachment many people have to their sea glass.

“Healed shards are irreplaceable to many who find them, especially if they have gone to the shore looking for guidance or support, such as after the death of a loved one. What was once a simple hobby becomes a passion for many. Finding shells and fossils can be fun, but a special piece of sea glass can establish memories that last lifetimes,” says LaMotte.

DOCK TALK Where Cruisers Gather

T

he 29th annual Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA) Annapolis Gam will be held at Camp Letts on the Rhode River in Edgewater, MD, just south of Annapolis, October 2-4.

The event kicks off Thursday evening with an informal Heading South raftup and then picks up Friday afternoon with a variety of informative seminars.

Although many in attendance will be sailors, those who cruise under power will find 90 percent of the material pertinent to their journeys.

Saturday’s seminar topics will include weather, communication, engine repair, medical preparedness, cooking aboard, and “Cruising: it’s not as scary as it sounds,” among others. Speakers will include weather experts, cruising experts, authors, and other marine professionals.

Roundtable discussions and demos will be held on Sunday morning.

SSCA president Scott Berg—who splits his time between Florida and Washington, DC, where his wife, Freddi Lipstein is commodore of Capital YC— says, “SSCA is a 63-year-old interna-

tional organization that supports cruisers.

Those who attend this year’s Gam will have the opportunity to meet (author and world circumnavigator) Lin Pardey, who will receive the Seven Seas Award on behalf of her husband and her.” The prestigious award is open worldwide to cruisers and has only had 19 recipients in six decades, including Irving and Electa Johnson, Hal and Margaret Roth, and Eric and Susan Hiscock.

As well as listening to speakers, cruisers gather for potluck dinners and cocktail parties, happy hours, breakfasts, and a silent auction and raffle.

After dinner on Saturday, Pardey will speak on “The Compelling Power of Adventure.” On Sunday, attendees gather for SSCA’s flea market (tables $10 each, payable on site).

For complete program information and online registration go to ssca.org

Invasive Zebra Mussels Spread South

U

ntil recently, it was believed that zebra mussels had not spread beyond the Susquehanna Flats in the Upper Chesapeake Bay, but recent monitoring has confirmed their presence farther south. Zebra mussels cannot survive in waters with high salinity levels, but it has been suggested that higher than average rainfall in the late spring has led to lower than average salinity in the upper and middle Chesapeake. This could potentially explain the presence of these mussels in a habitat where they could not previously survive.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently confirmed the presence of the invasive species in tributaries of the upper Western Shore near Middle River in Baltimore County. In mid-August, watermen alerted DNR Biologists of small zebra mussels fouling their crab gear off the Gunpowder, Bush, and Middle Rivers. The next day, DNR Fisheries Habitat and Ecosystem Program biologists found numerous mussels in aquatic vegetation while trawling Middle River.

“Zebra mussels are an aggressive invasive species and reproduce at a very prolific rate, outcompeting native species for needed resources,” said Matt Ashton, a DNR biologist and mussel expert. “These mussels quickly overtake and cover all available areas to such an extent that they can clog water intake structures, boats, moorings, ropes, fishing lines, traps, and even dams and power plants. Their migration further south toward Baltimore may pose a serious economic and environmental threat to the Bay and its inhabitants.”

DNR asks for boaters to follow these simple precautions that have been proven to help prevent the spread of this invasive species:

• Dispose of unused live bait on shore, far from the river or Bay, or in trash containers.

• Rinse boats, motors, trailers, live wells, bait buckets, coolers, and scuba gear with high pressure or hot water between trips to different water bodies.

• Dry everything for at least two days, preferably five days, between outings.

• Limit boating from place to place - particularly between the Susquehanna and Middle River to other water bodies in Maryland - where these mussels haven’t yet invaded.

• Remove all aquatic plants and mud from boats, motors, and trailers; and put the debris in trash containers.

The DNR asks for the public to report any suspected sightings to invasivemussels.dnr@maryland.gov.

For more information on this species, visit chesapeakebay.net

• Drain river water from boat motors, bilges, live wells, bait buckets, and coolers before leaving to prevent these aquatic hitchhikers from riding along.

Horsepower and Torque

Part

Two

by Steve D’Antonio In part one of this two-part series I discussed horsepower, its characteristics, and the measurement thereof. In part two, we’ll take a closer look at horsepower’s cousin, torque.

L

ike horsepower, torque is also a measure of energy. However, it has nothing to do with time; it could be imparted over one minute or one year. If horsepower is energy measured over time, torque could be thought of as the process for transforming or converting that energy into a useful motion, one that twists, as an axle or propeller shaft.

The definition of torque can be a bit difficult to enables you to subject the fastener to 20 poundgrasp. For illustrative purposes, imagine torque is feet of torque or 27 Newton meters. It’s one of simply a force in pounds multiplied by distance. those rare cases where Mother Nature seems to be You’ve almost certainly demonstrated this yourself offering up a free lunch. by using a longer wrench or an extension pipe Engine torque is measured using the following slipped over a socket formula: (5,252 x hp) wrench (the “exten÷ rpm.

##This extremely large (38,000 pounds), very slow turning diesel, delivers 400 hp while turning at just 340 rpm, producing a whopping 6180 pound-feet of torque.

This is why traditional, large, slow-turning diesels deliver mountains of torque. It’s why my Ford F-250 Powerstroke diesel can haul a 4000-pound boat up a ramp at idle speed (with a little help from its reduction gears—I’ll get to that in a moment) and why the 1940 vintage former tugboat turned fishing-charter vessel, Union Jack is powered by a six-cylinder, 400-hp engine that turns at 340 rpm and produces a whopping 6180 pound-feet of torque. It’s a heavy slow turner, weighing in at 38,000 pounds. By way of comparison, a modern, high-speed 400-hp diesel may produce around 600 poundfeet of torque (measured at the engine’s crankshaft output) and weigh somewhere around 1000 pounds.

Does this mean that if you want torque, which is what really turns the prop, then you must have a large, heavy diesel? The short answer is “no,” because while Mother Nature can’t be fooled, she can be cheated. What if we could keep the engine rpm high, to maintain horsepower, while slowing down the

shaft/prop rpm in order to coax more torque out of the equation? In fact, this is done regularly by using a component known as a reduction gear, which is bolted to and often appears to be part of the transmission. Reduction gears do just that: reduce rpm at the shaft using gears, somewhat like the transmission in the Ford F-250 mentioned above, while allowing the engine to continue to turn at higher rpm.

For example, a 150-hp engine that turns at 4000 rpm produces 197 poundfeet of torque. Not bad for a small, light, high-speed diesel engine. However, with a 2:1 reduction gear installed, the shaft rpm will be reduced to 2000 rpm, making the torque available to the propeller 394 pound-feet, a significant increase.

There are tradeoffs for the reduction gear and rules that must be followed: however I’ll save discussion of those for another column. In general, the price paid for this gear magic is two-fold. First, there’s the inefficiency and friction induced by the reduction gear, which may ac-

count for a three- to five-percent “loss.”

Second, the reduction gear adds weight, complexity, and expense to the installation. In the end, however, it’s a net gain and one that many engine manufacturers and boat builders embrace. It’s why smaller, lighter, high-speed diesels have become popular in the past 20 years.

While heavy, slow-turning diesel engines are desirable in many ways, among other things, they often last a very long time.

They also have drawbacks, and as such, the higher-speed engine and reduction gear combination simply makes good sense in many, but not all, applications.

When comparing engines and power output, ensure like units and measurement methods are being used and remember, it’s not about horsepower alone.

##RPM plays a role in horsepower output; it also has an effect on torque.

Tech It Out

by Capt. Chris D. Dollar

I

Must-Have Medical Supplies

f there’s anything I loathe when fishing or hunting, it’s lack of preparation, especially on my part.

Leaving the dock without your favorite lure is one thing, but quite another to forget essential safety gear. When fishing with others, one thing that really burns my shorts is an inadequate firstaid kit; worse, not having one at all.

I’d bet most of us have a sea story of a medical situation that could have turned out worse. This one is mild but makes the point. On a beautiful day in early autumn, fishing feather jigs to big perch and rockfish off the Bay Bridge’s eastern stone pile, an old timer was casting a swimming plug next to me.

And when I say next to me I mean next to me, as in when he exhaled I could tell what he had eaten for breakfast.

After putting another slab perch in the box, I heard a string of muffled profanity from behind us. As I drifted

past, I noticed the aforementioned lure dangling like a Christmas ornament from his hand, blood dripping like coffee from an urn.

“Do you need help?” I inquired.

“Nope,” came the gruff reply, though simultaneously came a much milder plea of “yes.” The voice belonged to a woman sitting in a plastic lawn chair, his wife I assumed. She wanted to head in. He insisted they continue fishing.

After they had their “Mr. and Mrs. Moment,” and after I’d had enough of his moans, my bedside (or boatside) manner matched his attitude as a patient; I sidled along his gunwale and convinced him to at least let me cut off the lure and tape the treble so it wouldn’t swing and cause more damage. This was in the days before I got my Coast Guard license or had any advanced formal medical emergency training. But I had a med kit onboard,

and he did not. He was using the napkin from his morning donut. The quick, temporary fix worked, and bizarrely he kept fishing another 15 minutes before the pain won out, forcing him to port.

Today, I have three prepared medical kits, four if you include the monster pack I keep at the house in event of natural or manmade calamities (I’m not yet a prepper but it does contain Meals Ready-to-Eat (MREs) and water purification tablets). The small kit has just the essentials, so it’s only for solo kayak and hunting jaunts. The second med kit I use for my guided trips and kids’ camps has enough supplies for six to eight people. The third I keep on my center console, per U.S. Coast Guard requirements, and it remains fully stocked in my gear shed. (I’m temporarily between boats at the moment, a sore subject really, so I’d prefer not to dwell on it.)

Here are some must-have medical supplies I suggest everyone carry in their kits: • Band-Aids and non-stick dressings: two essentials. Butterfly strips are effective to keep lacerations closed.

Buy the waterproof kind.

• Disinfectants. Cleaning the wound is critical. Include both antiseptic solution/wipes and antibiotic ointment.

38 October 2015 PropTalk.com

• Scissors and tweezers. Using a knife to cut away clothing or make bandage strips is clumsy. Scissors are best, and a good pair of tweezers can pull out everything from fish barbs to hooks.

• Gloves, mask, and bags. The first tenet of dealing with an emergency is don’t recklessly put yourself at risk. Mask and gloves protect you from bodily fluids and possible communicable disease. Barf bags work not only for those afflicted by mal de mer but for the rest of us prone to sympathetic puking.

• Tape. I keep three kinds of tape handy: medical (waterproof), duct, and electrical. Great for securing all kinds of things.

• Pain and seasickness meds. Use as directed, helpful to mitigate pain due to injury.

• Saline solution or sterile eyewash.

• Bandages and splints. Slipping on deck can twist an ankle, or worse.

Stabilizing the injury en route to professional care can calm the injured.

• Buying a first aid kit is the easiest solution and worth the investment.

You can pick a basic kit up from your local drugstore. If you need a more advanced kit, for long trips and/or where immediate medical help is hours away, bump up to a large kit, which most marine supply stores carry, or you can purchase online. At least once a season (I count four seasons), go through your medical kit and restock any expired or used supplies. If you haven’t already, it’s a good idea to get First Aid and CPR certified.

Some Dos and Don’ts 1. Do politely and discreetly ask your passengers, even family members, if they have medical conditions you need to be aware of. Are they on medication? Are they allergic to anything? And if so, do they carry an Epi-Pen? 2. Don’t give teens and children aspirin, as it has been linked, albeit rarely, to Reye’s syndrome, a serious disease that affects children younger than 18 years old.

• Giving short shrift to a firstaid kit is not only a sign of poor seamanship, but it’s also irresponsible and invites the potential to turn a manageable injury into a severe situation.

You’re better than that.

It all starts at Mile Marker “0” Best Transient Dockage on the ICW 10 Crawford Pkwy., Portsmouth, VA 23704 (757) 393-2525 TidewaterYachtMarina.com

3. Do inform your fishing buddies and guests where you keep the FirstAid kit.

4. Don’t ignore a nick, cut, or stab from a hook, fish, or other source, no matter how small. Tend to it immediately. Vibrio is nasty.

Boat Notes

by Capt. Chris D. Dollar

##Photo courtesy of Everglades

Everglades 325cc T

he only complaint I can muster about putting the Everglades 325cc through its paces was it wasn’t nearly windy enough. On a warm, late summer day I met Jack Flood, sales manager for Annapolis Boat Sales, at Kent Narrows. As he navigated the twin-powered center console through the tricky current of the drawbridge, I rapid-fired questions at him, which he deftly handled.

When I asked him if he’d been to the Everglades factory in Florida. He said “yes,” gushing, understandably, about its state-of-the-art design. But he kind of clammed up when I pushed for details about the impressive, and patented Rapid Molded Core Assembly Process (RAMCAP) developed by Everglades founder and boat building legend Bob Dougherty.

I’m referring to the RAMCAP that earned Dougherty the Marine Manufacturers Innovation Award in 1999 and

changed how sportfishing boats are built.

Although some boat builders inject foam or use low-density foam blocks, the team at Everglades constructs their boats using high-density, structural foam blocks they build separately and then lower into the hull.

The hallmark of Everglades construction is this modular assembly. For example, every console is fully assembled before it’s placed into the boat, and they mean everything: instrumentation, electronic panels and connections, outriggers, hardware. Also, plumbing for water, head and bilges, electrical components, hardware, and speakers are installed on the cap before they are lowered into the hull, where it is then bonded in place. Once everything is in place, Everglades builders test each boat in their onsite water tank, inspecting every inch for integrity and watertightness.

The company has its own in-house machine shop where they fabricate metal

work including the leaning posts and T-Tops, which on the test boat never even twitched when I hung and pulled on it at 40-plus knots. All of this attention to details makes for an unsinkable boat with a rock-solid ride even in nasty slop, Flood said.

I’d have to take his word for it since never a whiff of challenge came from the slick calm Eastern Bay. It was like riding a thoroughbred in a ring. So I made our own seas by crisscrossing our own and other boats’ wakes (at a very safe distance) at speeds approaching 50 miles per hour. Not even a wobble.

The 325cc turns smoothly, backs down nicely for an outboard, and with the Yamaha 350s pinned, it gets on a plane not so much like a rocket but more like your grampa’s deVille. And the ride was as dry as a desert.

Everglades 325cc is as fishingfunctional as it is beautiful. Overall, Everglades lists the cockpit area at 131

square feet. It seems bigger. The tuna door, located on the starboard side at the stern, is plenty wide enough for a monster bigeye tuna. Built into the transom is a huge fish cooler (129 gallons) and next to that is the 34-gallon livewell with blue walls to calm anxious baitfish, and keep them alive longer before they’re sacrificed.

There are two smaller fish boxes on the forward deck. The rigging station/ tackle storage is behind the ridiculously comfortable helm seats, and has eight drawers.

Want rod holders? You got ‘em, and then some. I counted a total of 32, though I might have missed a few.

They are everywhere: T-Top, transom, washboards, leaning post. And while it may be overkill for my fishing style, I understand the need from the bluewater angler perspective. The telescoping outriggers are of first-rate quality and deploy easily from beneath the T-Top. Flood said a second station (he didn’t like my term “mini tower”) was an option.

Well-thought out touches include the retractable windshield of tempered glass, adequate space under the helm seats for a Yeti 75 cooler, and over-

head lifejacket storage with easy zipper access. There are four JL Audio speakers for jamming tunes during a slow bite, and the Rigid LED aft spreader lights should illuminate any overnight swordfish trip. Port and starboard grab rails run from the console to the bow, so passenger safety is again enhanced. The fatigue mat will keep your dogs from barking and is a must have.

Hatches and doors are well sealed, and access to the bilge is very easy with copious space below. In fact,

I could lie down and easily reach any hose or seacock without busting a knuckle. Step down into the head and shower (in the center console) and you’re greeted with lots of room and a sense of airiness, not cramped as on some boats.

In the category of luxury family fishing boats, Everglades is not just a standout player; it’s an All Star. The company’s mantra of innovative design meets unmatched comfort and fishability isn’t just a PR slogan. It’s the real deal on the Everglades 325cc.

I

giggle as much as the next guy when I hear one captain cussing out another on the VHF because of some mishap; partially it’s your communiqué, but what I’m actually giggling at is your belief that the intended target is even listening. It’s not a coincidence I just ran a story about local maritime rules of the road, but it is unfortunate that I failed to cover an even more basic rule required of all boaters I thought everyone already knew. Maybe if I had mentioned 47 CFR § 80.310 earlier, things would have worked out differently.

If you don’t know that regulation by heart, look it up. Quite simply: if you have a VHF-radio, turn the darned thing on and monitor CH-16.

There are several basic rules that should have kept one particular boater from putting his family and friends in harm’s way directly under the Bay Bridge on August 9; fortunately it was only he who paid the ultimate price.

42 October 2015 PropTalk.com

by Mike Edick Six people on a 17-foot boat? In the middle of the Chesapeake? In the narrowest part of the Bay at high tide? All without life preservers? That’s just not smart on so many levels…

We were about three miles away when the distress call went out. I made a direct course to the area, trying to rescue five people in the water, able to do so because I had been monitoring Channel 16 as we’re supposed to. It took less than five minutes for us to get there and assist with the search.

There were (maybe) four of us civilian boats searching during those 10 to 15 minutes before the DNR, Coast Guard, Fire Department, then eventually helicopters were on the scene.

While I’m upset with that boater’s situation, what I’m truly disgusted by were the nine fishing boats (and two on-plane cruisers) I counted who were already there in the middle of the whole scene, completely clueless about the drama unfolding because they

weren’t monitoring Channel 16. I saw VHF antennae on all of them.

Sure, these attitudes and the avoidance of basic seamanship rules are a direct manifestation of the way people in our area behave while on land, but they have no place out on the water.

There is no such thing as a minor accident where everyone walks away as there is on land; there is no walking anywhere when you’re miles from shore.

Learn how to use your radios; learn how to use dual-watch (or tri-watch) if you must monitor another VHF channel for fishing reports. Register and learn your DSC functions. Stop operating your VHF as an equally useless cell phone, enabled only when you have an emergency; another pleasure boat is always closer than the professionals. Stop thinking of yourself, just once, and maybe I won’t have to be the one hoping to find you floating to the surface.

Brian Houst: Shipbroker F

rom his office in Eastport, commercial shipbroker Brian Houst interacts with maritime professionals around the world.

Closer to home, he is passionate about connecting local maritime professionals and growing the local maritime industry.

An Annapolis resident and president of the Annapolis Maritime Society (AMS), Houst graduated in 2002 from Fort Schuyler, the SUNY Maritime College, where he served as student government president and played and coached lacrosse, while earning a U.S. Coast Guard Third Mate’s License and a master’s degree.

Presently, Houst and his wife (both Long Island natives) reside in Annapolis with their two young sons.

What is a commercial ship broker?

Similar to a stockbroker, I’m an intermediary who puts together deals based on my relationships and professional expertise. My job involves the art of finding ships for cargo that is being shipped internationally.

Brokers such as me might represent a ship owner, cargo holder, or both.

At times a deal can involve as many as four brokers—in-house brokers for the seller and buyer, plus a couple of outside brokers who are intermediaries.

Most people would probably be surprised to learn how wide the scope of my profession is. There are so many different directions one can go in this field. In my career I’ve brokered ships for niche cargo, become an expert on foreign shipping regulations, chartered ships, dealt with government contracts, brokered ship sales, and dealt in shipping futures.

What kind of ships do you broker?

The ships I deal with are tankers or dry bulk, not the container ships that Bay boaters frequently encounter in the shipping channels of the Chesapeake. Unlike tankers and dry bulk vessels, container ships are

Follow us!

tariff-based and don’t have brokers.

The time frames for pairing cargo and vessels can vary, but usually the deals I am brokering are for ships and cargo that need to be paired within a few weeks. In addition to brokering immediate shipping needs, there is also “futures” trading in shipping, similar to the stock market.

With my current employer, Dome Chartering & Trading (DCT), I am director of freight trading. We recently built a new corporate headquarters in Eastport, where we act as commercial managers of foreignflagged and U.S.-flagged vessels. We also work as consultants in freight portfolio management, including vessel operations and freight futures.

DCT’s focus includes the dry bulk, tanker, and container market.

Tell us about the Annapolis Maritime Society Earlier this year I founded AMS, which started off as happy hour at Davis’s Pub with a few business friends. Now it has grown to a group of local maritime professionals that meet monthly at Fado’s Pub in Annapolis. Our purpose is to provide industry education and growth. I encourage anyone in the commercial maritime industry to join us. Our membership includes pilots, tugboat captains, customs brokers, agents, entrepreneurs, and others. We have three big events each year, a holiday party, summer family picnic, and the Annapolis St. Patrick’s Day parade. Learn more about AMS at Facebook and naptownmaritimesociety.com

ICW Cruising & the Slow Pass

or most Bay boaters, the first experience with the “slow pass” will happen somewhere on their first day on the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) heading south. The slow pass is a carefully choreographed dance between two partners who have never met each other. If both partners follow the choreography, it is a simple dance. If either boater does not know the dance or fails to follow the choreography, the result can be ugly.

Here is how it is supposed to work: One boat we’ll call the LEAD, is meandering down the ICW at six knots.

The other boat, FOLLOWER, the one moving faster at 14 knots, wants to pass but must follow the lead.

The Dance

•• As FOLLOWER approaches the LEAD, it calls out on VHF radio.

“LEAD, LEAD, this is FOLLOWER.” (Insert real boat names.)

•• Lead replies “FOLLOWER this is LEAD; let’s shift to a working channel.”

•• FOLLOWER on working channel: “LEAD, this is FOLLOWER. I would like to give you a slow pass on your port side.”

•• LEAD to FOLLOWER: “This is LEAD. I understand, port side slow pass. When you get to my stern, I will cut my throttles and allow you to pass.”

•• FOLLOWER comes right up to the stern of LEAD about 30 feet (Not 50100 feet!) to the port side, and when

WWW.ANNAPOLISYACHTSALES.COM she is a boat length behind, LEAD chops the throttles and slows to under one knot. FOLLOWER likewise chops the throttles. After her wake catches up and passes, she accelerates to about four to five knots and passes about 30 feet to port of LEAD. As FOLLOWER comes out clear ahead, LEAD turns to port and gets directly astern of FOLLOWER. Both vessels advance the throttle and come back up to cruising speed.

•• After the dance is complete, the LEAD radios: “FOLLOWER this is LEAD. Thank you for the slow pass.

Have a nice day.”

Missteps

There are many ways that this can go wrong. Both LEAD and FOLLOWER have equally important roles to play.

1. If the overtaking boat cannot read the name of the lead boat, there is no way to make contact. Make sure your boat’s name is clearly legible in a simple font on the stern of your boat. If the name

is on the side, the overtaking boat cannot contact you. Often boats on the ICW will have a banner with the boat’s name on it to strap across the stern if the dinghy blocks the view of the vessel’s name.

2. If LEAD does not monitor the radio, there is no way to make contact. As you go along the ICW you will use your radio to talk to ships, bridge tenders, and other boats. It is easy to forget to shift back to VHF 16. Solution: keep a hand-held radio at the helm on

channel 16.

3. LEAD must slow down to dead idle speed. If the lead boat only slows from six knots to four knots, then the following boat must run at eight knots to pass. This is the worst boat speed for wakes.

4. If FOLLOWER is too far out to the side, then the pass takes longer, and the LEAD cannot easily fall in behind.

LEAD will be rolled by the wake of FOLLOWER as FOLLOWER resumes speed.

5. FOLLOWER may not know the

rules and may not slow down. It is in LEAD’s best interest to pay attention and call the overtaking boat on channel 16. “Securité, Securité, this is vessel LEAD near ICW mile marker XYZ calling the motor yacht south bound in the ICW at Mile Marker [xyz-1]. I request a slow pass.”

6. No matter if you get waked, don’t get angry, as you will see these cruisers again.

7. If you are seriously waked and there might be damage to persons or gear, again use the VHF on 16 to warn boats ahead of you. “Securité, Securité, this is southbound vessel LEAD at ICW mile marker XYZ. There is a southbound motor yacht named FOLLOWER operating dangerously and passing at close range with a large wake. We have stopped our vessel and are assessing damages. All vessels are advised keep a lookout and take appropriate action.”

O

n our way south and north this year we were severely waked about three times each way.

Remember you are out on your boat, not in an office. Grin and bear it. Do not get into a cursing match. Do not bring out your best salty talk. You will cross paths with others again along the way.

Remember, there is karma.

Southbound in November, in mid Florida, one afternoon we began to hear reports of a southbound motor yacht who apparently did not know the dance.

As the afternoon wore on, we heard a dozen or more reports of southbound boats that had been seriously waked.

Just north of New Smyrna Beach we got passed and rolled as the miscreant forged ahead and disappeared around the corner a few miles ahead of us. We were glad to see him gone. About an hour later as we entered a known speed zone, we saw a USCG RIB headed north with the crew obviously filling in paperwork. We waved as they passed and went around the bend. What did we see ahead, but

the troublemaker aground on the side of the channel! Apparently the USCG had heard the calls and awaited the boat.

We announced the observation as a security call on VHF channel 16, and a dozen or more voices chimed in with laughter. The following day, we were again passed by the same boat, but overnight they had learned the dance.

The result was much more pleasant the second time. I was able to strike up a conversation with one of the crew who told us that indeed the USCG had stopped them for speeding. The Coast Guard boarded the boat and did a complete and thorough safety exam. In the meantime, the boat drifted onto a sandbar, on a falling tide. As the Coast Guard disembarked, the operator asked for a tow to get off the sand bar. The reply was, “We do not tow. We will be glad to contact your towing service for you.” At that point they were hard aground and were not going to get free until the tide returned.

What You Can Do with Your New Coast Guard Captain’s License

by Captain Art Pine

S

There are plenty of opportunities for newly minted captains, but don’t expect to get rich—or have evenings and weekends off.

o, you’ve just gotten your Coast Guard captain’s license. Congratulations! Now comes the big question: What can you do with it? Around the Chesapeake Bay, the answer depends partly on where you live, what you’ve done before, your skills and experience as a mariner, and your willingness to go through whatever it takes to start your own business or to earn the confidence of the maritime companies you want to work for.

If you’ve already been working as a crewmember for an established tour-boat or water-taxi company—or if you own a medium-sized recreational boat that you can use to take up to six people fishing— you probably already have a spot lined up for yourself. All you needed to become a captain was to get that license and embark on your new venture. Go for it!

KIND OF LICENSE

If you’re starting from scratch, you still have a way to go, industry job counselors say. Unless you already have good contacts and some experience with the kind of vessel you’ll be handling, you’ll have to undergo some training and evaluation by your prospective employer, usually for no pay until you’re actually hired.

What’s more, in most of the jobs for which a new license-holder can qualify, you’ll probably have to start by working weekends and evenings—the times when tour-boat and water-taxi companies most need more captains. Senior captains usually get the first crack at the weekday daytime slots. You’ll most likely have to settle for being a part-timer.

Having a reasonably good income from outside sources, from other part-time work or from your retirement portfolio, gives you a leg up. Captains who try to make

boating a weekends-only business—or have to invest a huge amount in a new boat—are asking for trouble, industry insiders say.

“Passing the exam and getting the license is a good start, but it’s only a start,” says Capt. Bill Washington, who runs a job bank for the Chesapeake Area Professional Captains Association (CAPCA) in Maryland and Virginia. “You need to make a realistic appraisal of what the industry requires and ask yourself whether you’re sure you want to do this.”

What job you can snag depends on what kind of license you have. But there’s no question: if you’re going to serve as captain of a boat that carries paying passengers, you definitely need a Coast Guard license.

Here’s a handy table that will help you navigate through the most popular categories of small-vessel licenses and the kinds of jobs they cover:

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Operator of an Uninspected Passenger Vessel (OUPV)

Operate uninspected boats carrying no more than six paying passengers (the reason these credentials are popularly known as “six-pack” licenses). Typically these are former recreational boats now being used to take customers fishing or sightseeing. You can go no farther out than 100 miles offshore. OUPVs are issued in various sizes, for operating vessels of up to 25, 50, and 100 gross registered tons respectively. (Note: The term “gross registered tons” is used to describe a measure of a boat’s volume, not its weight. Better check before assuming that the boat you’d like to command is in the category that fits your license.)

Master’s license, 25 tons

Operate inspected passenger vessels of up to 25 gross registered tons. Usually these are small water taxis, tour boats, and charter boats.

Master’s license, 50 tons

Become captain of a larger (inspected) tour boat, charter boat, or water taxi; work for a towing assistance company such as SeaTow or TowBoatU.S.; or operate a larger sailboat, such as a schooner that takes tourists for rides. Caution: before you can serve as captain of a towboat or sailing vessel, you need to pass separate exams leading to additional special certifications, called endorsements. In some states, if you take people fishing, even on a six-pack vessel, you’ll also need a tour guide’s license issued by the state natural resources agency.

Master’s licenses, 100 tons or 200 tons

Operate larger tour boats, water taxis, sightseeing boats, ferry boats, or small commercial cargo vessels.

No license needed, but…

You don’t need a license to work as skipper of a small private yacht; as a delivery captain (ferrying empty boats from one place to another); or as a mentor teaching new boat owners more about boathandling on their own vessels, as long as the boat isn’t carrying paying passengers. Having a captain’s license gives you an edge in competing for such jobs. Yacht owners—and their insurance companies—often insist on seeing your license before hiring you.

Being a charter captain by using your own recreational boat to take up to six passengers fishing or touring lighthouses can be modestly lucrative. Capt. Bob “Walt” Walter did just that after earning his OUPV license 10 years ago and has done it full-time ever since. He charges $580 a day—no matter how many fishermen are on board—enough to pay his expenses and salary.

“What I like about it is that I can make money at my passion: fishing,” Walter says. “I’m not making lots of money, but it brings in enough to help pay the bills. I’m having a lot of fun doing it.” Walter, now 59, was a branch manager for an electrical distributor in York, PA, before earning his license in 2005. He now lives in Pocomoke City, MD.

how much time you can spend. Ask for a chance to talk with the owner or manager in person.

•• Hook up with a local job bank that specializes in maritime slots. The best in this area is CAPCA. Its members have immediate online access to in-house job listings, and the association conducts weekend classes to help newcomers break into the field.

•• Network as much as you can. Watch the classified ads in PropTalk and SpinSheet, and follow up on them. Ask everyone you meet in maritime-related businesses, from marina owners and boatyard managers to captains of fishing boats, about possible jobs. Friends in yacht clubs or boating organizations also may know of some opportunities.

As Washington points out, showing employers your license is only a first step.

They’re also looking for applicants who can demonstrate good seamanship, people skills, good appearance, reliability, balance, and agility, who can manage a small crew effectively without blowing up. It helps if you’re familiar with the workings of marine engines.

Whether you’re working for someone else or for yourself, make sure you have good legal protection (starting your own LLC can help shield your home and property from lawsuits), are enrolled in a drug-monitoring program, and hold a marine radio operator’s permit, and hold a Transportation Workers Indentification Credential (TWIC) if needed.

You also should be willing to work long hours, part-time, at night and on weekends; to undergo additional training; and possibly even to spend a short time as a deckhand to help learn the boat. Most companies won’t pay you during the time you spend being trained for the job. On the other hand, you can use your time aboard to help upgrade your license.

If you’re planning to apply for a job with a towing-assistance company, you’ll want to know that most of their captains are part-time and get paid only for the time they’re actually afloat—not for the hours they’re required to spend on call, when they

have to be ready show up at their towboats within 15 minutes of receiving a call.

Some advice from Washington and other job counselors: Do what you already know—sailing if you’re a sailor; singleengine boats if you don’t have twin-engine experience; and tour boats or water taxis if you don’t know much about fishing. If you need more know-how and experience, take a course and get some practice before trying out with a commercial firm.

Income from all these jobs will vary widely, both with the work and with the company, but beginning captains can expect to make about $20 an hour at

most, until they become veterans and the company becomes more dependent on them. And remember that in most cases, the work is seasonal. You work, work, work during the summer and sit idle in the winter.

If you set up your own firm and buy your own boat, make sure the vessel is in good enough condition to carry passengers and meet whatever requirements the Coast Guard has set for that size and capacity.

You also need a good business plan, along with help in setting up the legal framework, keeping tax records, obtaining liability insurance, and drumming up business.

You’ll probably also need a lot more capital than you originally thought.

What does all this get you in return for having earned your license? “A chance to be on the water almost every day and get paid for it,” as Walter puts it. “In all the years I’ve been doing this, it’s never felt like work, for even one day.” To many folks who live around the Chesapeake Bay, that’s not a bad deal at all.

et’s find our happy place, shall we? Start with a beautiful fall day: blue skies, puffy white clouds, the wind dancing through the trees. Then, imagine yourself standing down by the water in an historic little village. We’re all adults here, so put a good adult beverage in your hand: say, a Painkiller.

And finally, surround yourself with about 300 powerboats of all shapes, makes, and sizes. Have you reached boater nirvana yet?

If that mental image puts you in a happy place, we can’t begin to tell you how much fun you’ll have at the United States Powerboat Show, held annually in downtown Annapolis for the last 44 years.

Whether you’ve attended the Powerboat Show multiple times in the past, or if you’re just starting to consider making your way into town for the first time, here’s what you can expect, what you need to know, and what you should be looking forward to.

The Boats

Hundreds of boats, both new and brokerage, will be exhibited at the 2015 Powerboat Show, from kayaks to ocean-crossing machines. Here is our hit list of what you don’t want to miss, but know that we always end up falling in love with something completely off our radar (and usually out of our price range).

The Albury 27 is a new addition to the Boat Shows, but it’s certainly not a newcomer to the water. The company is originally from the Bahamian island Man-o-War Cay, famous for its boatbuilding past, and was founded by Willard Albury, who built his first boat at age 14. The Albury line was all wood until 1985, when they had to switch to fiberglass because Madera trees were being depleted. Around the Sea of Abaco, Albury boats are everywhere, loved for their proud hulls and sturdy craftsmanship. Today, the company is pairing with Eastport Yacht Co. and bringing the boats to the Chesapeake. This is the first of many Alburys you’ll soon see on the Bay, we promise.

Sea Ray will exhibit eight new Sea Ray models in City Dock, packing Ego Alley with luxury sport yachts. And Jeanneau will bring eight boats as well, from the Velasco 37 to the 500s. And we would be remiss if we didn’t mention the Beneteau Swift Trawler 44. We practically received a restraining order for how much we loved the 50 last year (anyone who saw the boat’s interior understands why it was impossible for us to vacate after the show ended). Plan on wearing comfortable shoes that you can easily slip on and off to get the most out of your boat hopping.

Look for an extensive list of premiering boats in the November issue of PropTalk!

Seakeeper, the makers of the self-installed gyro that works to eliminate boat roll, are bringing in a Contender to let you test on the open water. Yamaha and Evinrude will also be bringing in skiffs and sport boats to test engines, and there will be wakeboarding, jet, pontoon, and center-console boats for you to take out on the water, if being on land gets to be too much.

The Demo Dock is having boats added to it all the time. Check out the Annapolis Boat Shows Facebook page to keep track of who’s coming to town.

If you think the Powerboat Show is just about powerboats, you’re sorely mistaken. Service providers will be on site offering information on marinas, boatyards, marine publications, insurance, and more. Then, there are the accessories: who knew propellers could make such cute jewelry! It’s clear that the boat shows are a special place for boat fanatics to congregate, so plan on leaving a little bit of room on your credit card to let your inner boat nerd come out in full force. ##The Brokerage Cove features tons of brokerage boats that are just as breathtaking as the new girls.

Check Out Annapolis

It’s easy to spend the entire day at the boat show, eating a Nutty Buddy for breakfast and a pit beef sandwich for lunch. But afterward, be sure to check out what’s happening outside the gates. There are dozens of excellent restaurants within immediate walking distance, and if you want to head a little further up Main Street, a circulator trolley will let you hop on for one dollar if you don’t want to pay for a pedi cab. The Annapolis Maritime Museum is just over the Eastport Bridge, and the extensive, impressive Naval Academy grounds bump right up to the show as well (if you plan on hitting up the Naval Academy, be sure you have a photo ID on you). You can get out on the water using a Duffy Electric Boat rental or taking a ride on the Schooner Woodwind (yes, it’s a sailboat, but they serve alcohol so you’ll be fine). After dark, if you still feel like walking around, ghost tours are popular ways to make adults afraid of things that go bump in the night.

Whatever you do, remember that you’re spending the day in Boater’s Heaven. Enjoy your day, because Christmas only comes around once a year.

CCWBRA Rock Hall National Championship

by Kaylie Jasinski

R

acers and spectators alike could not have asked for a more beautiful day at the fifth annual Rock Hall Nationals. The Cocktail Class Wooden Boat Racing Association (CCWBRA) Championships were held at Rock Hall YC on August 15 with 41 drivers and 28 boats participating. This year’s course was slightly shorter, so race officials opted to add a second lap for the 8-hp and Post-1979 6-hp classes, which led to one very close call (for the author).

The afternoon racers faced slightly rougher conditions with four boats capsizing (one of them twice) and two drivers making wet exits, but thankfully no one was hurt.

During the awards dinner, the CCWBRA handed out three special awards apart from the podium trophies: Morgan Carew was awarded the Most Promising Rookie Award (finishing second place in the Youth class); Charlie Iliff and the Glue Factory Team from

Arnold, MD were awarded the first ever Technology Award for their LED countdown display, which was synced with the horn system; and finally, Steve Brendlinger for the Anchor in Tow Award (first given to his daughter Kara at Kent Island).

For this regatta we have chosen to profile a few of the winning racers; some are

rookies, some are seasoned pros. So get to know them. One of the things we love most about cocktail class racing is the people. You could not ask for a friendlier or more hospitable crowd.

Racing News Fred Allerton

How did you get into racing? The hook was set for me when I read an article in the December ‘10/January ‘11 issue of WoodenBoat Magazine featuring the Bluefeld family and friends, who had revived the 1939 “Skua” boat design and launched Cocktail Class racing from the family’s wharf in Virginia’s Northern Neck. Fast forward - Swamp Rocket #28 was launched that spring (and a second boat the following year).

In the next few months, I caught up with the Bluefelds, and their enablers for some cocktail class fun.

How many races have you participated in? I’ve attended about 18 races; each one was terrific fun!

Do you have close friends or family who also race? For me, a main attraction of CCWBRA is that it’s a magnet for friendly competition and family-centered fun. I have two adult sons, a daughter, and a better half, all who race occasionally. And, I have many great racing friends as a result of being involved with CCWBRA.

Early 6 hp Mixed

What was the inspiration behind your boat name/colors?

Smokin’ Loon, my daughter’s boat, reminds us of those Northwoods birds with alluring calls.

They’re awkward on land, but in the water they move gracefully with great power.

Do you have a favorite memory or favorite race? It’s tough to pick just one favorite memory! Perhaps our first race, Oktoberfest ‘11, where my daughter outraced 15 drivers (including her father) and where many new friendships began! Or, perhaps Oktoberfest ‘13 in Philly when a dad got to race with two sons!

How did you get into racing? My dad got me into cocktail racing. He started building a boat in our garage about five years ago and has been racing for the past three seasons and encouraged me to get my boating license so I could race, too.

How many races have you participated in?

Nationals was my first racing experience; and I will definitely be back for more. At first I was nervous to race, especially to damage the boat, but the more I did it, the more confident I felt.

I’m planning to go to another regatta this fall and to continue next spring.

Darryl Kepler

How did you get into racing? I was helping my friends, the Urbani family of Rock Hall with their boat at a couple of races and thought it might be a fun project.

How many races have you participated in?

The 2015 Nationals was my 11th race.

Do you have close friends or family who also race? My friend Peter Urbani also is very successful in the 8-hp open class. We both race Lee Urbani-designed boats built from plans provided by CCWBRA.

Do you have close friends or family who also race?

As I said before, my dad races, and some of his coworkers and friends do as well.

What was the inspiration behind your boat name/ colors? The boat I raced was built by and belongs to my dad, and it’s called River Madness after a gin limeade drink my mum makes.

8 hp Mixed

What was the inspiration behind your boat name/colors? Silver Bullet sounded fast, although occasionally it handles like a train.

Silver and blue seemed like a natural choice.

Do you have a favorite memory or favorite race? It was probably this past race (2015 Nationals). Since I struggled last year with bad starts, this year seemed like redemption.

Racing News Zach Ditmars

How did you get into racing? In the winter of 2011, the team at PropTalk began building the Chesapeake Light Craft Cocktail Racer. We had a ton of fun in the process, although it was a lot of hard work. We finished the boat in summer of 2012, and it debuted at the exhibition

‘79 6 hp Post Heavy & 6 hp

races at the Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival in St. Michaels. Our ’69 Johnson barely got us up on a plane, but nevertheless I was hooked on racing this little boat. The next year, Charlie Iliff, father of our publisher, took a serious interest in cocktail racing. He outfitted us with some newer, faster motors, as well as building some boats of his own.

How many races have you participated in?

Eight races since 2012.

First place five times, second place two times, third place three times.

Do you have close friends or family who also race? Not initially, but I have made many friends in the association as well some new friends on our racing Late team this year. The Heavy CCWBRA offers a very family-friendly

atmosphere, and everyone is always very welcoming and willing to lend a helping hand. I’ve also gotten to know the guys at the Glue Factory pretty well over the past few years while tinkering with these little boats. It’s always fun and exciting to see what Charlie, Mike, and Jay have been working on over there. Anyone who saw the new start timer will know what I mean.

What was the inspiration behind your boat name/colors? We had a boat naming contest in the magazine. We knew we wanted something red to reflect the colors of PropTalk. Although none of us had ever ingested the flaming concoction known as Molotov, we decided that it was the coolest name proposed.

Do you have a favorite memory or favorite race? Not to brag or boast, but the 2015 recent National Championship has been my favorite race so far. I must admit it was pretty exciting taking home the first place trophies in two engine classes after investing a whole lot of time and energy into cocktail racing these past few years.

Russ Bowler

How did you get into racing? At a cocktail party in California Stephen Bent mentioned the class. I was immediately interested and took this with me to the team at Farr Yacht Design.

How many races have you participated in? I try to get to three or four regattas a year; two to four classes at each regatta.

This is our fifth season of participation.

Do you have close friends or family who also race? The regular racers have become great friends, and of course the Carew’s and Schmickers who I work with have been keen enthusiasts to share the experience.

What was the inspiration behind your boat name/colors? Firstly I am from New Zealand - national bird is the Kiwi that cannot fly. Secondly it is the name of a fairly complex cocktail, the recipe for which is on my aft deck both port and starboard, and thirdly it is in honor of Richard William Pearce, an inventor that flew a heavier than air machine in the South Island of New Zealand in March, 1903.

Late 6 hp Mixed

Do you have a favorite memory or favorite race? The first race when the boat was launched - everything worked! I had a great tussle with Chase Bishop in the last heat of the 8-hp at the Urbanna Cup in 2014. He won the finals but the last heat was a lot of fun.

R

acing enthusiasts will head to Ocean City, MD, for the OPA National Championships October 2-4.

Race boats arrive on Friday, register, pass inspections, and gather for a racers’ social.

On Saturday, the on-the-water testing begins and culminates with two exciting races on Sunday.

In order to qualify as the national champion, competitors must attend this event and must have three other OPAsanctioned races under their belts for the season.

Cleveland Construction leads the Super Cat division thus far in the 2015 national standings. Typhoon, whose crew has competed in every event thus far, tops the leader board in the Super Vee Light class. In Class 2, all boats are following Batman, a team that’s also had an active racing season. Wazzup stands strong in Class 3, as does Saris Racing in Class 4.

All eyes are on Class 5, as the 2015 competition has been fierce. Only five points separate the two boats standing

in first and second place: Reinforcer and RUFstr Racing.

Heading into the nationals, Smith Brothers Racing team dominates Class 6.

More close racing can be expected in Class 7, where Hangin’ N Bangin’ and Wicked Racing are tied at the top. FJ Propellers/ GB Racing stands in first position in the Cat Lite class. Topping the Extreme class thus far this season is Cat Can Do. Click to oparacing.org/race_7.html for a schedule of events and map of the race course off OC.

utumn is in the air on the Chesapeake Bay. The days are getting shorter, but have that clear fall light now that the summer haze is gone. The crabs are big and full.

“This fall finds us finishing up and launching an Eastport 32. We’re also excited to be working on the 65-foot buy boat Crow Bros. down at Mathews Landing—they towed her up the Choptank! Also tied up at the landing is a Dettling 51 on which we’re doing some minor interior refits. Here in the shop, we’re working on the pilothouse for Crow

ammy Eaton of Judge Yachts in Denton, MD, sends us another upbeat report reflecting the growing trend among owners to demand large, high-horsepower outboard propulsion. “The 36-foot Chesapeake with Triple Suzuki 300 outboards has been water tested and performed great: 45 knots on her first run. As someone on Facebook

commented after viewing the video we posted, ‘Wow, wow, wow… that is absolutely awesome!’ We’re pretty pleased with the response we are getting and with the inquiries about building more of them.

Of course we are really excited for this year’s Powerboat Show where we plan on showcasing this beautiful boat along with a few others. We may have a few surprises as well; and, as always, we look forward to saying “hi” to old friends and meeting new ones.

Other happenings in the shop include more boats being delivered

Powered by twin 650-hp Cummins diesels delivering their power through joy-stick-controlled Zeus pods, the 53 is not only luxurious, but fast and nimble, topping out at over 35 miles per hour; and the pods make low speed maneuvering a snap.

A Memorable Morning for

Easy Bell

##The 1950s-era Easy Bell on Spa Creek. Mike Hutson waving.

ou know the feeling: you see an old woody or nicely rehabbed workboat chugging along in the creek on a summer’s day. You crane your neck to get a better look. You yearn to hear the stories the old boat has to tell.

Pat Teeling of Annapolis remembers seeing the Palmer 22 Easy Bell back when he was a SeaTow captain.

Built in 1960, the boat was owned by an Annapolis family who crabbed on her. “This was when Ego Alley was filled with workboats,” he says.

In 1999, he bought the boat. “I had some clues about how the boat was built,” Teeling says. The bottom planking ran fore to aft rather than athwartships as most Bay workboats were constructed. “There was only one place where they built boats like that: the lower Potomac.”

Teeling’s wife Amy got into a conversation about the couple’s workboat at a cocktail party, where someone said, “That sounds like my neighbor’s boat.” This discovery led Easy Bell’s

current owner to Creighton Palmer, a boat builder and the owner of Palmer’s Marine Railway. Teeling drove from Annapolis to St. Patrick’s Creek near Abell, MD, to meet him. He showed Palmer a photo of the boat, and “ever so slowly, a smile crept over his face.”

Teeling left the builder with a folder of photos and later got in touch with the original owner’s family. On a spectacular mid-August morning, Teeling planned a special reunion. He invited Palmer, the original owner’s son Dick Hutson, his son Mike, and grandson Jared out for a spin out of South Annapolis Yacht Centre (formerly Sarles) on Spa Creek.

Teeling, who found the boat builder to be a mild-mannered, humble man, guessed that Palmer did not leave his quiet Southern Maryland creek often (his niece confirmed that later). “He was awestruck at all the big boats,” said Teeling, who was thrilled to have had the chance to take Easy Bell and her living history for a boat ride on a pretty day. ~M.W.

History Made at White Marlin Open

C

heryl McLeskey of Virginia Beach made history at the White Marlin Open last week when she became the first woman to win the prestigious event. She landed a 94-pound white marlin fishing on the Backlash with Capt. Steve Richardson out of Rudee Inlet. The marlin, the third largest ever weighed in during the WMO, won them $1,180,237.

The second place white marlin was a 79-pound fish caught on Lights Out, earning that crew $1,005,872.

In the blue marlin category, Goin In Deep won $778,352 for decking a 551-pound blue. The largest tuna was a bigeye that weighed 220.5 pounds, and was caught on the Miss Annie, good enough for $398,834. Streaker earned $24,847 for landing the top dolphin that weighed 46.5 pounds, and the biggest wahoo was a 45 pounder caught aboard Warden Pass.

That fish fetched a $33,271 payday.

Overall, rough seas hamstrung much of the 300-boat fleet that registered to fish the Open.

Less than a week after the WMO, several hundred lady anglers, fishing in the popular all-women billfish event called the Poor Girls Open, took to the deep off Ocean City, MD, to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Overall, $89,405 was raised to benefit breast cancer research.

Leading the pack was Team REEL JOY with nine white marlin releases, and in the Junior Angler category Isabell Marco was top angler with four

marlin releases. Nora Warren aboard Maverick caught the heaviest tuna at 139.8 pounds, with Judy Duffie on Billfisher weighing the heaviest dolphin

at 28.6 pounds. In the past three years alone, the Poor Girls Open has raised more than $100,000 that was donated to the American Cancer Society.

Coastal Fisheries Boards Cut Flounder Catch

t a joint meeting in mid August, the two primary coastal fishery management boards voted to cut by approximately 29 percent the summer flounder catch in 2016. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) and the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC) also established parameters for black sea bass, bluefish, and scup fisheries.

Specifically, the two organizations approved an Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC) limit of 16.26 million pounds of flounder, a popular coastal gamefish, for the 2016 fishing year. How that will translate into actual creel and size limits and seasons is yet to be determined.

The ASMFC press release said, “These reductions in summer flounder catch and landings limits were recommended based on the findings of the 2015 stock assessment update, which indicates that the summer flounder stock was experiencing overfishing in 2014. The fishing mortality rate in 2014 was estimated to be 16 percent above the fishing mortality threshold reference point.”

For many years, some sport anglers, charter and head boat skippers and tackle shop owners have complained about cuts to popular gamefish, such as sea bass and flounder, arguing the regulations that have hurt their businesses are based on inaccurate catch reports.

And while the sea bass fishery remains mired in uncertainty, some pros such as Ocean City head boat skipper Monty Hawkins believes things are much improved with flounder estimates. Moreover, he appreciates the efforts of Maryland council members, telling PropTalk they “are busting their butts trying to keep us fishing.” Hawkins feels as it stands now, the DelMarVa region “can handle the cut without too much pain.” He did express concern that if there is an MRIP-decreed “overfishing” situation, or if area fishermen are also accused of being overquota, then it could “get really bad.”

Other fishermen and fishing groups are far less optimistic, specifically those from New York and New Jersey. Jim Donofrio, executive director of the Recreational Fishing Alliance, blasted the decision, saying the council members “just torpedoed the struggling recreational fishing industry. The socio-economic pain in 2016 is going to be significant.”

Follow us!

In other actions the council and commission approved an ABC of 5.50 million pounds for black sea bass for the 2016 and 2017 fishing years, which, the ASMFC says, could mean catch “levels are unchanged relative to 2015 levels.”

Yet, since both the commercial quota and recreational harvest limit still need to be reviewed by the council’s science and statistical committee, that’s not set in stone. The sea bass fishery is also fraught with controversy in some waters over how the catch is counted.

In the bluefish fishery, the two organizations approved an approximate 10 percent decrease next year from this year’s levels, based on the 2015 benchmark stock assessment.

The council will forward its recommendations for federal waters (three to 200 miles from shore) to NOAA Fisheries Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Administrator for final approval, and the ASMFC actions will be final and apply to state waters (zero to three miles from shore).

MD Angler Sets New Snakehead Record

f you want to try and catch a trophy snakehead, you’d up your odds by heading to the Potomac River, which recently gave up a 17.47-pound monster that Todd Murphy of Marbury shot with his bow. Murphy’s fish was entered into the Maryland record book after being approved by the Department of Natural Resources. The agency makes exceptions for a fishing record for invasive fish like snakeheads and two species of catfish, the blue and flathead, that aren’t caught by hook and line.

Murphy was fishing in Mattawoman Creek in the wee hours of August 8, slowly cruising the shallows looking for catfish, when he spotted the soon-to-be record snakehead. “I knew it was a big fish but wasn’t sure if it was a state record,” he said. Murphy told this writer he actually

shot a bigger snakehead about two years ago but didn’t weigh it in.

While Murphy’s fish is impressive and beat the previous record of

he couldn’t find a certified scale so he ate it for dinner. Murphy also ate his record, taking it to Chef Chad Wells at Alewife in Baltimore, who was “going to cook us a special dinner.” Moon hooked his snakehead fishing a Booyah spinnerbait.

Murphy and others are pretty confident that there’s a 20-plus pound snakehead swimming in the tidal Potomac, which has coughed up the past two world records, a 17-pound, 6-ounce snakehead caught by Caleb Newton, and the current world record of 17 pounds, 12 ounces landed by Luis Aragon. ##Todd Murphy and his Maryland Snakeheads are spreading state record snakehead. in area waters.

S

harp shards of sunlight, like solar laser beams, careened off the low hanging clouds and bounced gently into the Wye River.

Mini schools of juvenile menhaden, newly spawned this year, flipped and splashed feet, sometimes inches, from a floating dock. Undermined numbers of rockfish, less than a handful to be sure, and of lengths shorter than a football, crashed into the bunkers, sending them scurrying momentarily only to regroup. And the show went on; all the while my three-inch topwater plug was snubbed like Trump does civility and manners.

The summer flew by way too fast, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you, like me, didn’t get in all the fishing you wanted.

But perhaps not. Perhaps you waxed the stripers that loaded up above the Bay bridges for much of the summer. Maybe you had mad success chucking lures to the big cobia that seemed to swim endlessly in the lower Bay. Or maybe this was the summer you landed your first billfish, raised it proudly as the GoPro or smartphone camera snapped you into fishing memory.

Melancholy aside, summer fishing is all but in our rearview mirrors. My buddy Ric Burnley nailed it when he emailed me,

“Everyone looks forward to fall.” True that. It is by far my favorite time of year to chase gamefish that, in anticipation of much cooler water, put on the feed bag, and therefore smack lures hard. If past is prologue, we should expect excellent fishing on everything from tuna and red drum to stripers and perch. Here’s what PropTalk experts think is a good angling bet this month. Good fishing.

Oh yeah. Be sure to check out the U.S. Power Boat show running October 15-18 in Annapolis. Now in its 44th year, be sure to stop by the PropTalk booth (F5) to say hello.

aptain Walt of Light Tackle Charters believes the next month we will begin to see the departure of most if not all speckled trout and redfish from the Chesapeake Bay. “Some (fish) will still remain but not many. Striped bass fishing, however, will just begin to get ‘red hot’ in October and will only get better and better as the bay water cools,” he predicts.

“We’ll catch them just as we have all summer on structure such as grass banks, points, jetties, submerged structures, and creeks.

But we’ll also catch them pushing bait to the surface to feed on the bait along with the birds that will mark the action. All this on light tackle (12-15 LB Spin and 7-9 Wt Fly) which makes the battles much more fun as we feel every head shake and excite in the sound of drag turning on the reels.” ##Jimmy Ricker, owner of Waterman’s Tavern in Edgewater, caught and released a 38” redfish while fishing with Willie Wilson of Chesapeake Seafood.

aptain Tyler Nonn of Tidewater Charters tells us he and his clients had a great summer, especially fishing for cobia. Now, he says, “As summer fades into the fall, Bay anglers wait in anticipation. October is one of our favorite months for the light tackle anglers. Cooling water temps drive fish to feed heavily, and the topwater, fly, and jig bite goes crazy.”

He suggests you look for rockfish on ledges at mouths of your favorite rivers, where he thinks there will be plenty of 22- to 26- inch rockfish with bigger stripers possible in the 30-inch class. “The seven-inch bone, bubble gum, and tinkermac (chartreuse) Hogy HDUV baits (are my) ‘go to’ lures for jig fishing,” he shares.

“For the fly fisherman, three- to fourinch Closures and Deceivers in chartreuse and naturals colors (mimic anchovies and bunker) should be great producers,” he recommends. “Good luck and see you on the water.” ccording to Virginia Beach’s favorite fishing scribe, Ric Burnley, October should see the end of white marlin fishing and the beginning of red drum fishing.

“Look for the last white ones off Oregon Inlet. Circle hook ballyhoo at the Triple Zeros is the ticket. Big red drum will return to the beaches. Red fish over 40 inches will invade the coast from Sandbridge to the Outer Banks,” he forecasts. “Look for the fish in the surf with a chunk of bunker or spot on a fishfinder rig with an eight-ounce pyramid sinker and an 8/0 circle hook. Fish the rig off a 12-foot surf rod called a heaver.”

Ric also thinks in coming weeks you may get a shot at the last of the cobia and the first of the red drum. “Look for big schools of drum moving across the surface of the water and cast a bucktail.

Or, anchor up on a drop or bar and fish cut bait,” he says.

Sticking with the ocean, he knows autumn can also be a good time to encounter smoker king mackerel off Virginia Beach. “Slow troll live menha-

den on a king rig or high-speed (six knots) troll Rapala plugs and Drone spoons,” he suggests to hook into one of these speed burners.

If inshore fishing is more your thing, he suggests you target the sheepshead, flounder, and spadefish that can hang around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel (CBBT) into October. “Expect schoolsized (18 to 24-inches) striped bass in the CBBT pilings. Cast a four-inch swim shad with a medium action spinner or jig a two-ounce jig and soft plastic around the structure,” he suggests. “At night working the same lures in the bridge lights will produce the best action of striped bass.”

Want to try and catch some speckled trout and redfish? Ric says the fishing for these sporting fish should be at its best in the creeks and backwaters. “Work a 1/4 to 3/8 ounce jig and scented soft plastic over drops and around any structure to score reds and specks,” he says.

DelMarVa

f you plan to fish Delaware waters, here is Eric Burnley’s take on fishing opportunities this month: “The midSeptember to mid-October time frame will see two of our favorite species move from

the Delaware Bay to the ocean. Flounder will stage over reef sites eight, nine, and 10 in the ocean and Reef Site Eight in the Bay before moving to deeper water to spawn,” he says.

“The best of this fishing will be in late September; although big flounder are caught every November and December by anglers fishing for rockfish.

Jigging with a bucktail tipped with a strip of squid or fish is a good way to connect with one of these fish. Live spot have been hard to come by, but if you can locate a supply, they attract the largest flatfish.”

Eric suggests if you’re after the year’s biggest croakers, which are also on the move in the fall, you should find them as they school up over natural hardbottom areas and reef sites. “One location that has proven itself over the years is the appropriately named Croaker Canyon found between one and two miles due east of the old Lifesaving Station south of Indian River Inlet,” he says. “Reef sites nine and 10 also offer attractive croaker habitat. Strips of squid, clam, pieces of crab and Gulp! or FishBites all bring croaker to the hook.”

Fish Forecasts

Maryland Bay

O

nce fall kicks in, Captain Harry Nield will switch out from bottom fishing for spot, kingfish, and croakers for targeting fall run stripers.

“October will be the start of the fall striper fishing for our area (Tangier Sound),” said the skipper of the charter boat Kingfish II. “We will start with live spot, then jigging, and finish up on the troll hunting for the magnums. The last couple of falls have been great on mid-grade fish, but the monsters have been tough to find. Maybe this year they will come up in force and stick around for a little while.” He’ll lead his clients to the rockfish in the sound as well as in the Bay’s main stem, from Point Lookout south past Smith Point. n the middle to Upper Chesapeake, light tackle guide Richie Gaines predicts as the Bay water cools in October, the stripers will begin to move into the tributaries such as Eastern Bay and the Chester and Choptank rivers.

“They’ll set up on structures. Savvy anglers look for hard bottom areas, oyster

bars, mussel beds, and rockpiles in eight to 15 feet of water,” he predicts. “Most of these places are shown on the charts if one takes the time to study them in detail.” He also suggests using topwater lures in shallow water, especially near where smaller tributaries enter such as creeks and outflows.

“High, outgoing tides are usually best for these areas,” he says. “As we move into late October, the larger fish will show, and they will chase peanut size menhaden three- to five-inches.

Flats off of high current areas, rocky banks, and long points that meet the channel are high percentage areas at that time of the year.”

Captain Richie suggests looking for the season’s last bluefish and rockfish working bait under birds. “That’s always worth checking out. Anglers should not overlook a small bunch of birds hovering over the water,” he says. “Sometimes in October the fish don’t come all the way to the surface but the birds can see them three to eight feet below chasing the schools of bait.”

C

aptain Mark Galasso of Tuna the Tide Charters recommends looking for fishing to improve dramatically: “We should be working the shallows as the temperature drops. Breaking fish under birds usually show up in the Eastern Bay as well as the mouths of the rivers.”

He says the departure of bluefish should be compensated in part by more and bigger white perch, and hopefully plenty of rock.

“Jigging and casting should get fired up. Spot will probably be history by mid October,” he says. “Some fishermen who are trolling will find fish with spoons and small bucktails. Love the Fall!”

White Perch

Early fall will find them hanging around the pilings of the Bay Bridge, over rough bottom in 25 to 30 feet of water and the mouths of Bay tributaries.

While it is hard to beat a bloodworm when it comes to catching perch, they will hit a variety of baits and lures. I have caught them on a Stingsilver when it fell below a school of surface-feeding blues. A Beetle Spin is another good perch lure when the fish are in shallow water. Peeler crab, grass shrimp, small minnows, hair jigs, earthworms, and Gulp! or FishBites all attract perch.

Bloodworms can be difficult to find once the weather turns cold. The reason for the shortage is the hard freeze in Maine and Canada, where these worms are harvested from tidal flats.

I have a very nice Shakespeare rod (GX2 USSP662M) and reel (GX235) combo that works well in this application.

It is spooled with 10-pound test Stren line and will handle both bait and lures. The same outfit is also used when fishing for spot and croaker in shallow water. Should a big catfish or carp decide to take the bait, this rod and reel can handle the task at hand.

It should be easy to find a shore fishing location no matter where you live in Bay Country.

Havre de Grace is a short drive from Baltimore, while Perryville is close to Elkton and Northeast.

On the Eastern Shore, the Chester River at Millington has been a perch hot spot for as long as I can remember. Further down the shore, the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge has several access points where perch may be taken.

Just about any tidal creek or river that feeds into the Bay will hold white perch. There are state and local parks located near these waters where access is safe and easy. Fishing from bridges is popular, but in some locations this practice is illegal and in all locations it is dangerous.

Yellow perch are often caught by white perch anglers, especially in the late winter and early spring. The same baits and lures will work on the yellows and the whites.

The current regulations for yellow perch are a 10-fish per day creel limit with a nine-inch minimum size. There are no size or creel limits for white perch caught by rod and reel.

Both perch make for good eating. I like mine fried up and served with French fries or hush puppies and a side of coleslaw.

For the more health conscious among us, the perch can be grilled whole and then picked from the bone or, if they are large enough, you can grill the filets. Enjoy!

Fish Spots

Mouth of the Rappahannock River and Windmill Point, VA

by Capt. Chris D. Dollar

V

irginia’s two capes get a lot of attention, and with good reason. Myriad gamefishes swim to visit during the warmer months, everything from cobia and red drum to spade fish and flounder, not to mention the offshore billfishing. Such a menu makes it a world class fishing destination.

However, there are lots of other good fishing spots in the Commonwealth’s part of the Chesapeake that don’t get all the publicity. A prime example is the fishing grounds at and inside the mouth of the Rappahannock River, specifically, the waters around Windmill Point, which is located off the north shore of the Rappahannock.

Anglers who regularly fish these areas know they can produce excellent catches. In the deeper waters at the height of summer you’ll find the list of possible species at its most diverse.

Fishermen can hook all kinds of fish,

from the usual suspects—rockfish, croakers, spot, bluefish, and flounder—to less common gamefish including gray trout, spadefish, sharks, and cobia.

This month fishermen frequently set their sights on stripers, speckled trout, bluefish, and puppy drum. Gray trout and flounder are also options, and if it

stays warm, you may have shots at Spanish mackerel in the Bay proper. Some of the best fishing can be found at the mouth of the numerous creeks and along the shallows.

That there is a wide variety of abundant marine gamefish shouldn’t be all that surprising given that the entrance

Windmill Point Reef Lat/Long: 37-37.246. 76-14.119

E

(center point, marked with yellow VMRC buoy)

stablished in 2004, this state fishing reef can be found about 1.4 nautical miles north of Windmill Point Light. This square reef has a depth of roughly 30 feet with relief ranging from four to 10 feet. It is comprised of 500-plus tons of concrete piper (Hanson Pipe Company) and about 120 reef balls laid out in two fields of 60 reef balls each. Fishermen helped fund installation of the reef with revenues from the state Saltwater Fishing License.

(Information compiled through Virginia Marine Resources Commission.)

to the Rappannock (and Piankatank) is at a crossroads of sorts. Here, moderately salty water (called the mesohaline salinity zone) mingles with the very salty water (called the polyhaline salinity zone) that’s being pushed up the Chesapeake by winds and tide from the Atlantic.

Recently, scientists who study Bay underwater grasses released their annual survey of the Chesapeake grass bed acreage. In 2014, the underwater grass survey showed the mesohaline zone overall had 37,260 acres of grasses, an increase of 47 percent over 2013. There was also an increase in Bay grasses in the polyhaline salinity zone, albeit a much more modest one at only eight percent compared to two years ago. This should bode well for good fall fishing. So whether you choose to hunt the shallows with light tackle and fly gear, or chum, troll, or bottom fish the bigger water, odds are good you’ll come off the water satisfied.

River and Bay Access

T

here are several public ramps and private marinas with ramps (launch fees usually required) on the Rappahannock and Piankatank rivers. For a full list, search dgif.virginia. gov/boating/access and for more ramps, use key words Lancaster, Gloucester or Mathews counties.

Chesapeake Bay Fishing Charters, Guides, & Head Boats

O

ne of the most difficult ways to learn how to fish the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean is trial and error. Then there’s the boat issue; we don’t all have one. Luckily, the Bay is full of knowledgeable guides and charter captains to show you the ropes! Below you will find a directory of professional guides, charter boats, and head boats to get you started on your quest for the perfect fish. Whether you like to fly fish, troll, or bottom fish, there’s likely a local expert who can lend a hand. For more, visit proptalk.com/charter-fishing

Blackistone Lighthouse

N

ovember 23, 1633: The Ark and the Dove set sail from England, with an estimated 150 Catholic and Protestant passengers seeking religious tolerance in the New World. They departed on the Feast Day of St. Clement and entered the Chesapeake Bay on March 3, 1634, landing on a 455-acre island in the Potomac River. The island was named for St. Clement, the Patron Saint of Mariners, and to this day remains the official birthplace of Maryland.

In August of 1848, the U.S. Congress appropriated $3500 to erect a lighthouse on the south end of St. Clement’s Island. Two years later, the land was sold to Dr. Joseph L. McWilliams, who in turn sold two and 3/5 acres of ground for the lighthouse to be built. The contract was awarded to John Donahoo, famous for his Chesapeake Bay lighthouses, who eventually built 12 in Maryland and Virginia (seven of these still standing today). Blackistone Lighthouse was completed and lit in November of 1851.

During the Civil War, many lighthouses in the South became targets for the Confederate army and Blackistone was no exception. On May 19, 1864, Confederate soldiers raided the island and destroyed the lighthouse’s lens and lamp. The intention was to set the structure completely ablaze, but the soldiers were persuaded otherwise by the keeper’s pregnant wife, Mrs. Jerome McWilliams.

by Kaylie Jasinski

The McWilliams family continued to own the island and serve as the lighthouse’s keepers in the quieter years following the Civil War. In 1875, Dr. McWilliams turned the job of keeper over to his daughter, Josephine McWilliams Freeman, who was only one of 29 women commissioned as lighthouse keepers in the country’s history. She maintained her post for 37 years.

In 1932, the lighthouse was officially decommissioned. By that time, the island’s size had shrunk to nearly 60 acres. Then, on the night of July 16,1956, Blackistone Light was consumed by fire and completely destroyed.

Luckily, that was not the end of the story. In 2008, an almost exact replica of the lighthouse was completed thanks to the hard work of hundreds of volunteers and one woman’s dream that a lighthouse would once again stand watch over the shores of St. Clement’s Island.

That woman was Josephine Mattingly, granddaughter of Blackistone Light’s sole female keeper. Josephine joined the St. Clement’s Hundred, a volunteer organization dedicated to preserving the island, and upon her death in 1998, willed $5000 to the group and expressed her great hope of seeing Blackistone Light rebuilt.

It seemed that everyone but Josephine believed this feat to be impossible. But over the years, the State of Maryland, the St. Clement’s Hundred, and the St. Mary’s County Commisioners (along with Josephine’s initial donation) raised $800,000, and in 2008, the replica Blackistone Lighthouse was completed using John Donahoo’s original plans.

To this day, the St. Clement’s Hundred works tirelessly to preserve the island and Blackistone Lighthouse for future generations to enjoy. Each year the group also assists in the annual Blessing of the Fleet Ceremony. This year marks the 48th anniversary, and festivities will take place on October 3 and 4. Click to proptalk.com/calendar for more information.

For more photos of the lighthouse and St. Clement’s Island, visit proptalk. com/blackistone-lighthouse. The St. Clement’s Hundred operates entirely through the support of volunteers and donations. If you would like to get involved, please email blackistonevolunteer@gmail.com
