The Little Ships of Dunces

No, we weren’t plyingKipling’s “great, grey-green, greasy Limpopo

River.” But in the pre-weekendhush, thick tidal jungle on eitherside, it surely seemed our fleet oflittle boats was probing the upperreaches of some piranha- andcrocodile-infested estuary. In Kipling’s “Just So Stories,” it

was the Kolokolo Bird that toldElephant’s Child to venture to theLimpopo River to discover whatthe crocodile has for dinner. But itwas the fast friendship of four“Cruising World” magazine ex-patsthat had them converge on their own “great, grey-green” to share yet another adventure, albeit a smallone. But with adventures, size rarely matters.Thus it was that our cockleshell heroes – dubbed The

Confederacy of Dunces (with sincerest apologies to thelate John Kennedy Toole, author of the 1980 Pulitzer-prize-winning novel of the same name) – climbed theminutes on the chart, bound north in the ConnecticutRiver in late June toward their next campsite. All fourskippers, imaginations unbelayed, appeared to standoff the shore, perhaps in fear a venomous puff addermight drop from the canopy.There was Paul, former CW art-department denizen

and Coast Guard vet, paddling his 16½-foot JensenDesigned Wilderness canoe; Tim, former CW editorialfree spirit, sailing his 11-foot Shellback dinghy; Bob,another ex-wordsmith, sailing his 13½-foot Blue Jaywith 6-year-old son Noah; and your editor, also a for-mer laborer in the CW word mines, with his 10-footEnglish sailing dinghy. Between us, we could boast (ifsuch were our nature) countless inshore cruises andoffshore passages, ocean crossings, rescues at sea, andan Alaskan Exxon Valdez caper. But none of these hadanything on this inaugural C.O.D. rally.We’d launched our vessels the day before, in Essex,

Conn. Plan A had been to put in at the mouth of theSalmon River, and sail/paddle upriver three miles toHaddam Island State Park. But with a cold frontbringing high winds and violent electrical storms inthe afternoon, we turned to plan B: Launch in Essexand row the mile across to Nott Island, set up ourtents, and batten down the hatches. In the interest of full disclosure, local Essex knowl-

edge revealed that while camping on Nott Island wasnot legal, it also wasn’t exactly illegal either. We

thought this a Yogi Berra-like “Ifyou come to a crossroads, take it”kind of moment and took the lat-ter route with a clear conscience,considering the maelstrom thatwas bearing down on us.After a swim, tents were raised,

and Tim and Bob built a drift-wood fire, got the coals white-hot,and delivered a sirloin-tips andbaked sweet and white potatodinner, washed down with aboxed vino collapso, 2011 (appar-ently not a great year). The crewslept the sleep of the dead as thefull brunt of the storm passed to

the north. The following day, as you already know, found us

warily working our way up the Limpopo in a lightnortherly. If you find light-air sailing intricate and fas-cinating, as we do, then you’ll know the quiet exhila-ration we felt as we played the zephyrs, worked theeddies, scanning the shore for flags, the river for sail-sets of other boats. About five miles from Nott Island, just past the

mouth of storied Selden Creek — billed as “one of themost biologically significant sites on the lower Con-necticut River” — is Selden Island State Park. Herewe’d reserved a campsite, just across from the en-trance to Deep River. After swims, driftwood-firedsausages and tiramisu . . . we cannot lie; there was notiramisu. Bob promised to bring it, but he was just toy-ing with us . . . we repaired to our tents.Sunday morning, with a robust ebb tide and a pleas-

ant northerly, we flew back to Essex (Tim reportedthree knots on his GPS), on the way spotting our sec-ond bald eagle of the cruise. With the cars packed andboats on the trailers, we said our good-byes, withpromises to rendezvous soon again, but one crewmanwas missing – the Ship’s Boy. After scanning theperimeter of the landing, we spied a small towheadbowed sadly in the back seat of his father’s car. Approaching the vehicle, we could see that Noah was

already mourning the loss of three idyllic days “in thewild,” as he called it, with Dad and his pals. We triedto console him, promising to gather soon again withwhat we termed “our silly, little boats.”“Don’t call them silly,” Noah adamantly corrected

(the child is indeed father of the man). “They are awe-some.”And just about perfect for a cruise up the Limpopo.

When adventuring with brothersin arms, size rarely matters.

Mike’s report from the clamflatsWent clamming with oldest son Kevin recently at Hog

Island. He was up here in Rhode Island for a visit.Kevin had been looking forward to going clamming forsome time, and especially now that he has been livingin the Philly area, where there is no clamming. It was“like digging doubloons,” as my friend Jon always says.Fresh littlenecks soon become the Captain’s specialClams Casino recipe — under the broiler until the ba-con on top gets crisp. Now we catch up on some summer dream reading

and voyage planning with a plate of spicy casinos;chilled, crisp Chardonnay; and a little lemon, and don’tworry, Denise had her own setup just the same onechair over. Go to a restaurant and get six skanky clamsfor $12 and more. Here we had the freshest, sweetestclams, and my own recipe with fresh minced onion, gar-lic buttered cracker crumbs, pepper sauce, lemon juice,bacon, and a few other herbs and spices, and we piggedout on them — at least 25 per person, maybe more, losttrack after the fifth plate full and third goblet of wine.

Good teeth will open tuna packWe enjoyed very much Gay De Hart’s story in the July

issue (“Capt. Mom and the Revelation,” July), aboutsailing with her family on their Ensign. Everyone wassafe, and apparently they all had a good trip. I also ap-preciate her honesty in admitting they could not opena can of tuna for lack of a can-opener.However, this also tells me that there were five people

on her boat and not one of them had a knife. Not a SwissArmy knife, not a Leatherman, or a rigging knife oreven a good old Boy Scout knife. Nor, I guess, were thereany tools: no screwdriver, no pliers, no hacksaw, and noVice Grips, any one of which could have been used to

force open a can of tunafish. The marvel of this is thatnowadays Chicken of the Sea can be purchased in Zi-plock Bags: All you need is a good set of teeth to tearinto this new packaging.

Race encounter was ‘unsettling’I recently found myself sailing into the middle of a

schooner race out of Camden. The experience was un-settling and frightening. I am writing this in the hopeof eliciting some feedback from some experienced skip-pers in regard to the situation and what I might havedone. To wit:The schooner fleet was racing from Camden eastward

toward Islesboro. The wind was brisk and a bit gustyfrom the southwest, so they were all on a beam or broadstarboard reach and making good speed. I was sailingmy 27-foot sportboat, heading south, beating to wind-ward on starboard tack, also making good speed (eightto nine knots). I was north (to leeward) of all of them.My inclination was to try to duck behind them and

avoid their race. However, I realized that ducking onewould put me right in front of others, but then I wouldbe on port tack and have no speed. I didn’t have just oneor two to avoid — there were a lot of boats coming andnot a lot of space between them.So I decided to pick a gap as best I could and continue

on south (still on starboard). I passed in front of one ves-sel with no problem — he simply turned a few degreesfarther off the wind and sailed behind me. However, thenext vessel gave no indication he was going to give wayto me, and we were very close to a collision. So I beganto luff and slow. Just as I did that, he started to turndownwind, now directly toward me. Fortunately, I didn’tslow too much and was able to return to my course andpass a few feet in front of him, but the crew of the boatwas yelling and gesturing some very unpleasant thingsin my direction.My understanding of the rules is that I was clearly

the stand-on vessel. The fact that they were racing gavethem no rights, and they were certainly not constrainedin any manner regarding ability to maneuver. That be-ing said, I’m generally not suicidal and don’t challengelarger, heavy vessels if I can avoid it. In this case,though, I didn’t have the option of turning around orwaiting for them to run their race. What should I havedone? Readers’ thoughtful replies would be appreciated.

MYSTERY HARBOR/And the winner i s . . .

Mystery Harbor is best for shoal-draft boatsThis is Wellfleet Harbor on Cape Cod. It looks like

high tide in winter since there is no action on the water.The view is of the L pier where the commercial fisher-men, large and small draggers, dock. The photo showsthe breakwater and, in the distance, Great Island,which is part of the barrier structure that createsWellfleet Harbor.My wife, Terry, and I have

lived and sailed in Wellfleetfor 15 years, and for the lastfive have moored our 19-footwooden catboat, Cleopatra, inthe mooring field to the left ofthe image in the MysteryHarbor photo. The experiencehas substantially shaped ourdevelopment as sailors sincewe’ve come to all this ratherlate in life. I should add thatpart of my enthusiasm forWellfleet and the marina isthat I’m a member of the Marina Advisory Committeeand, consequently, am much involved with marina ac-tivities year round.Wellfleet Harbor is shaped rather like an upside

down letter U. The westerly side is comprised of barrierislands and reefs and a substantial shoal that can beproblematic for keeled vessels. The village of Wellfleetis at the northeast corner, and the eastern shoreline tothe south includes homes, etc., as well as the marina. The harbor as a whole is about 6,000 acres overall

and relatively shallow. The tides range from eight to 12feet on average, with occasional extremes. In the outerharbor, which includes a well-marked channel to theinner harbor, there are deepwater anchorage sitesavailable just outside the breakwater (for vessels over55 feet). The inner harbor, which includes the munici-pally owned marina, has transient moorings (15) andslips (12) for vessels ranging up to 55 feet. The channelinto the inner harbor is easily navigated by deep-draftvessels. Shoal-draft vessels can go nearly everywhere provid-

ing they use an up-to-date chart. There are a few sub-stantial rocks (glacial erratics) well marked on chartsbut not always visible. Around the north and east sidesof the harbor, there are many near-shore shellfishgrants, which are off limits. The inner harbor is shel-tered from most directions since fetches are short. Theouter harbor is vulnerable to southwest and southerlywinds. The bottom is sand and mud and holding ap-pears to be good for properly equipped vessels.

Like many harbors on Cape Cod, Wellfleet was in itsearly years engaged in fishing and whaling, and sentmany vessels as far as Georges Bank and elsewhere.Fishing faded in the mid-to late-19th century for manyreasons including the silting in of the harbors. Thisbrings us to our current big issue: The Wellfleet ma-

rina needs to be dredged, andplanning is under way. How-ever, the lack of funding slowsthe process. Our transientmoorings stay wet, as doesthe channel to the fuel dockand the L pier (commercialtie-up), but much of the ma-rina bottom is above water atlow tide. The marina sells ice and

fuel and provides restroomsfor the public and showers forslip and mooring holders andtransients. There are four

restaurants within a short walk of the marina. Thereare more restaurants in the village proper, which isapproximately a half-mile from the pier. There areB&Bs in and near the village and motels just outside.There is a grocery in the village and a large numberof galleries and retail stores. Weekends in season arevery busy.In terms of advice for mariners, Wellfleet is great for

shoal-draft vessels. Deep-draft vessels should stay inthe channel until they become familiar with the area.Every mariner should use an up-to-date chart or chartplotter since the channel and its markings occasion-ally shift. Pay attention to the shellfish areas marked by yel-

low buoys. And check in with the harbormaster onChannels 9 and 16 for current situations. Weekendboating activity can be a bit frenetic, especially on hol-iday weekends. Most important, the marina staff isextremely willing to be helpful and they go out of theirway to assist visitors.I do love the place while I recognize the warts as

well. New England, especially this end — the wet one— is special. We’ve been reading the magazine for agood while and always seem to exhaust its contentswell before the next edition is ready. Many thanks forthe good work.

Shot from Cape’s largest pierThis picture is taken from the largest man-made

pier on Cape Cod, with approximately 50 pleasure-boat slips on the inside, and the view you’re looking atis on the outside of it. Chequesset Neck is the land inthe background, and the entrance from Cape Cod Baygoes around the jetty you see and, finally, to the towndock, where the draggers dock. Food and beverages arein close proximity, as is a nice boat ramp.

Capt. Charlie RichmondSandwich, Mass.

I recognize the boat on the endI’m betting there are lots of correct guesses on this

one. It is obviously Wellfleet Harbor taken from thevicinity of the boat ramp or harbormaster’s office. I rec-ognized the boat on the end, the breakwater and thebluffs in the background. We live in Guilford, Conn.,but get to the Cape three or four times a year for aweekend to two weeks at a time.

He bet lunch money on WellfleetI happened to pick up your magazine after a won-

derful dinner at Captain & Patty’s in Kittery, Maine,after the air show. With a continuously unfulfilled ap-petite for perusing boat literature, I stumbled on yourMystery Harbor in the July issue. After spending 35seasons in Wellfleet. Mass, I thought your photo lookedfamiliar. So I will put my Monday’s lunch money onidentifying it as Wellfleet Harbor, looking from theharbormaster’s shack out toward Great Island. This isone of the finest harbors and boat-mooring basins onthe Cape.

Elsa’s dance cardPerspectives

Instead of sailing, this morning I wastransported to Fargo, N.D., in the Roaring20s; well, sort of. On the porch today, my

wife and I uncovered a real treasure: a box ofher mother’s dance cards from Fargo HighSchool in the 1920s. Elsa was a lovely lady, somuch so that I named my boat after her. Perhaps some of you are old enough to re-

member dance cards, those cards the youngladies tied to their wrists at dances. Theywere numbered inside, and a small loopedstring with a pencil attached went from thecard to the hopeful young lady’s wrist. If ayoung man wanted a dance, he gently liftedthe lady’s scented hand, took the pencil, and put hisname on the next open number on her dance card. Elsamust have been quite popular; we found an entirephoto album filled with dance cards. And every dancecard was full. Which brings me to the other Elsa. She was invited

to a rafting party at a yacht club float lastweek. Well, that’s not exactly accurate. Actu-ally, I initially asked if she could come. Yousee, I’m proud of my old sloop. I wanted herto be the belle of the ball, despite alwaysknowing she would never be the shiniest,and certainly never the skinniest, girl at thefloat. But she got invited. We’ll make spacefor her, they said. At 30 feet, compared to so many others,

Elsa is not a tall girl. Around her middle, at10 ½ feet, she may be a tad thick, I’ll admit.And certainly, at 12,000 pounds, she’s off thechart for height/weight ratio. Finally, at 33

years of age, her clock is indeed ticking. “We’re going to a party, Elsa,” I said to her as I

climbed aboard from her little sister, a nutshell pramI’d built years ago. She seemed to perk up a bit at that,bouncing on the wake of a passing powerboat. (Well,maybe that’s too perky a word; “slowly lumbering up-

out loud as I raised her faded, patched-up 33-year-oldmainsail, “but I’m sure you’ll fitin.” (So maybe I lied; but it wastrue that, at the time, I didn’tknow who would be coming tothe floating dance party.) Wesailed out of Salem Harbor andheaded for Marblehead. Even with the breeze, our

windward performance wasn’tgreat. But that was somethingwe barely noticed anymore. Whatwe had was quality time, notspeed. After all, what is qualitytime but the valued measurementof each passing second. What wasimportant for us now was to go, to mingle, to hold our

heads high. No more of those lonesome Maine coveswith only the ospreys for company. It was time to blos-som.

“We’ll put you way down at theend,” they said to us as we ap-proached the yacht club float.“There should be enough waterthere for your boat.” And then,there we were, in the door and atthe dance, even if it was at theback of the hall. But somethingwasn’t right. Big, beautiful, shiny boats

ing attention as they entered the ball. The biggest,shiniest boat put out two signs boldly declaring: NOSHOES. “Well, we don’t mind shoes,” I said aloud. “Maybe

you’ll meet some people who don’t want to take offtheir shoes, Elsa.” Two docks away I could just make out a man in a

white shirt and black bowtie setting up a bar on thefloat, complete with hors d’oeuvres. The bar was nextto the biggest, shiniest boat. Crowded around the barand piling onto the shiniest boat (sans shoes) weremost of the people at the party. “Well, how about acocktail?” I said to no one in particular (since therewas no one in particular), “but we better stay here anddrink our own booze in case someone comes down thisway and wants to see you.” No one came. I began thinking about that lonesome

Maine cove. I sensed Elsa did, too, and wanted to leavethe party before anyone noticed she’d come. Then something happened. Someone from up by the

shiny boats got bored (or just decided to go for a walk)and headed our way. I thought of that green waterlineslime I hadn’t removed before the party and figuredwe’d be passed over. We smiled demurely. “Welcomeaboard…ah, if you’d like,” I said timidly. He lookedElsa over. “Quite a beam on her,” he said. Then helooked at her wonderful, commodious cockpit, with thewraparound stern seat, wooden wheel, and old bronze

fittings. “Nice,” he said. And by God he came aboard.It was Elsa’s first dance. When he went below, we knew we had him. He

looked at the five distinctive gimbaled kerosene lamps.He looked at the heavy, bronze opening ports and thesolid, varnished wood everywhere. He looked at thewatercolors and pictures on her cabin bulkheads, in-cluding the portrait of her namesake. Then he satdown on the canvas-covered bunk, looked around somemore, nodded and said, “Now this is a boat.” Eventu-ally, he left and went back to the other end of the party.“There,” I said to Elsa. “You have appeal, even in thiscrowd. See?” There was a knock on the hull. It was the same man,

and he’d brought back his wife and two friends. “Youhave to see it inside,” I heard him say. “Welcome aboard…if you like,” I said again. And so they came. And after they left, others came,

saying they had to see her inside. Soon we had eightpeople in the cabin and others waiting in the cockpit.In hindsight, I’m sure the other boats were even morepopular, but at that moment, as the smallest, fattestand oldest boat at the end of the line of floats at theparty, we were somebody.Our dance card was full.Dave Roper’s new book, “Watching for Mermaids,”

As Kate slapped up and down on the short chop,headed into a gusty 15- to 25-mph wind, the enginedrummed tediously along. It had been an uncom-

fortable and occasionally frightening cruise — not the onewe had envisioned. The sandy, sunny, post-Labor Daybeaches of Cape Cod weren’t sunny. The wind was blowinghard in the wrong direction, too close to sail, and thenswitching around to another unhelpful direction the nextday. The water, building and stacking made for salty,splashy riding. Far out in the Atlantic, Tropical StormKatya supplied the wind, and Tropical Storm Lee, to thewest, brought the rain. The motor droned constantly inour ears. We had yet to laze out in the cockpit with a beer. Kate had never been out of Maine before. Owners Jim

and Nan McNally had reminded us before we left, andfrom their tone I could tell they weren’t sure she wouldlike it. They were once again lending us the 31-foot Pa-cific Seacraft for a week of cruising, and we thought wewould venture south – to Cape Cod and Buzzards Bay— for a change. The long-range forecast wasn’t all that promising, but

even our worst weeks on past cruises always had enough

decent weather to make a good vacation. This trip put us in more trying situations and rough con-

ditions than all our other 17 years of cruising put together.The trip started in the Back Channel, in Kittery,

Maine, and the crew vetoed the skipper’s Plan A: a longpassage to Provincetown in the dark across the shippinglanes of Boston. For a couple of people who regularly fallasleep before 9 p.m., this seemed foolish, so we motoredon to Gloucester instead.

Log entry, Sept. 3, 2011Wind, wind, wind. Headed for Provincetown with

southwest winds 15-30 mph. Lots of ocean, lots of wind,lots of waves. Bouncy day with not much to look at, 360-degree views of salt water and not much else. The following day we had a good sail to Wellfleet,

Mass., which turned out to be the last decent sailing dayuntil we turned around and headed home.

west 25-30 mph, saltwater-wet, salt spraying into thecockpit with every dip down off the top of the swell, mo-toring under a reefed mainsail. Slipped into Onset toavoid the swell building in Buzzard’s Bay. Once in Onset, I surveyed my vacation: rain, waves,

spray, foul-weather gear and rough riding. I said to myhusband, “Well, I’d rather be here than on a PrincessCruise.” (Our shared nightmare is being trapped in aplace where shuffleboard and dressing for dinner com-bine with extended conversations with strangers.) Beingoutdoors and facing small challenges has always seemedpreferable to the extreme awkwardness we would feel ona commercial cruise.

Log entry, Sept. 6On to Cuttyhunk: freshwater-wet, rain, northwest wind

15-25 dead ahead, and double tie-downs on the Cutty-

hunk mooring where wind is howling even though sur-rounded by land on four sides in the protected basin.Foul-weather-gear trousers leaking at butt seam.

Log entry, Sept. 7Bouncing back to Onset with the wind dead ahead

again. Thunderstorms in the night. Back through CapeCod Canal east. Rain and wet (with fog) and rough stiffnortherly wind with four-foot seas. Heading up the coast to Scituate, we were caught in a

thunderstorm. Put me on a vast plane of water, sittingat the base of a long metal stick pointing up to the clouds,and I start thinking in headlines: “Lost at Sea”, “Or-phaned Daughter,” and “Abandon Ship.” Lightning wasflashing all around, and I turned to my husband andsaid, “Rethinking the Princess Cruise.” We were not en-joying or relaxing.As we pounded along into the wind, I heard the engine

sound change, and concerned, I questioned the skipper.

“Cavitation,” he says. “The propeller is sucking air as it’slifted up and down out of its element.” This trip lapped the fall of our previous year. In October,

we started a watch with my mother-in-law as her kidneysfailed at the end of a long and lucky life. The extended fam-ily took turns helping her ease out of life. The cell phonebecame our family’s main means of contact as we passedon the interstate or left notes on the kitchen counter onour way to and from Massachusetts for our shifts. As we settled into our vigil with her, in Pennsylvania,

my father broke his hip and began to fail. His dementiadid not allow him to work toward recovery and took awayhis last joy, his love of movement. In the dark of Novem-ber, he died in a nursing home the week we scatteredMarjorie’s ashes.We looked forward to gathering with family to celebrate

my father’s life, but a Christmas blizzard blasted the East-ern Seaboard, preventing the Maine clan from attendingmy father’s memorial service. Holidays were muted. Work,

jury duty and the inertia that accompanies grief kept usclose to home. Our only daughter moved to California.

Log entry, Sept. 9Winds up to 25 mph in forecast northerly, and the whole

of Massachusetts Bay to create a chop. Staying in Scituatetoday.

Log entry Sept. 10Time to head back to Maine. A little gray bird perched

on the dodger for some time today. Taking a rest beforegetting itself out of its predicament a mile out to sea in astiff breeze.We have had a year of chugging along, sucking air, in

and out of our element. Losses accumulate, but so doesgrace if we look for it. Sometimes a place will serendipi-tously present itself for a rest. The weather always shifts,and we can raise the sails to a fairer wind.Lee McCarthy lives in South Berwick, Maine, and

GUEST PERSPECTIVE/Jay Park

A sailor’s test kitchen

I’m not what you’d call a “foodie.” Most ofmy shoreside recipes begin with, “Re-move meal from carton and place in mi-

crowave . . . .” And when it comes to menuplanning for an ocean passage, I becomemore of a physiologist or, rather, “puke-n-poop-ologist.” This is because the first days at sea are of-

ten about managing conflicting imperatives:the need to eat, to hydrate, and to eliminatewhile simultaneously avoiding activities thatprovoke seasickness. So, the naval ethos offorehandedness calls for a test kitchen andscope of inquiry beyond how many minuteson “high” in the microwave.I know that seasickness arises from a mis-

match between the body’s motion-sensory in-puts and its internal model of normalorientation to inertia and gravity. Most peo-ple’s internal model adjusts to the motion ofthe sea after a few days, and their suscepti-bility to seasickness goes away. Until thathappens, however, reducing the conflict be-tween visual and non-visual inputs, by re-maining above deck with a view of thehorizon, is a proven way to reduce mal demer.But somebody has to prepare meals, and

that happens belowdecks. Seasickness medi-cations can help but are not entirely effectiveagainst nausea-provoking, visual-trackingtasks such as reading a recipe and close-upfood preparation. A side effect of medications is dehy-dration and consequent constipation. So the ideal meal,in addition to providing calories for crew energy, shouldhave lots of dietary fiber to promote regularity. It must

also be quick and easy to prepare with a minimum ofvisual-tracking tasks. Lentil soup takes 14 minutes in the pressure cooker

and specs out at 258 calories and 16 grams of dietaryfiber per serving: great numbers. As well as being hot

As well as being hot and hydrating, lentil soup is slurpable from a mug,leaving the seaborne diner’s other hand available to maintain a steady-ing grip on the vessel.

and hydrating, the soup is slurpable from a mug, leav-ing the sea-borne diner’s other hand available to main-tain a steadying grip on some fixed part of the rolling,pitching boat. Lentil soup chosen, I’m off to the testkitchen.I set up my single-burner propane stove and pres-

sure cooker on the deck of my condo. I wonder if myneighbors might misapprehend the infernal machinesand raise the alarm with Homeland Security, but Icarry on anyway. I begin the prep work and immedi-ately realize that chopping the onion, garlic, carrot andcelery is an intense visual-tracking task, a sure nauseahazard at sea, delightfully accessorized with a pointy,sharp knife. Note to self: Chop, bag and ice the veggiesbefore casting off to avoid cleaved appendages.I sauté the aromatics, then add vegetable broth,

spices and the lentils. I try to attach and seal the pres-sure lid, but jets of stream escape angrily, and I beginto hear the desperate brogue of Star Trek’s Scotty in

my head: “Engineering to bridge. Captain, she won’thold!” I removed the lid and try again. Seal formed, I watch

the pressure come up and then adjust the heat tomaintain eight pounds per square inch. At this point,the cook at sea could dash on deck for some air and astomach-steadying 10-minute gaze at the horizon.In my test kitchen, I turn off the heat and allow the

pressure cooker to cool and depressurize. I sample thelentil soup with some fresh ground pepper and a dashof sea salt.Mmmmm, this lentil soup is shipshape and defi-

nitely on the menu.A resident of western Massachusetts, Jay learned to

FINAL PASSAGES/They wi l l be mi s s ed

If, while plying the waters between Buzzards Bayand the Cape and Islands, you spot commercial ves-sels unfamiliar to you, they just might be here be-cause of an International Sister Port Agreement thePort of New Bedford signed with the Port of Tux-pan, in Veracruz, Mexico, in July. This pact marksthe beginning of a public/private partnership thatwill position the Port of New Bedford as a signifi-cant import/export hub. As reported in the “Boston Globe”: “The end result

of this agreement will definitely be jobs,” said NewBedford Mayor Jonathan F. Mitchell. The city al-ready imports fresh clementines from Morocco forCanadian markets, with each vessel representing

$200,000 for the city in services and labor, he said.Mexico could ship crops such as limes, watermel-

ons, bell peppers, and tomatoes to New Bedford,helping to create hundreds of jobs, according to EdAnthes-Washburn, Acting Port Director. Just oneweekly cargo ship filled with vegetables takes 50people three 24-hour days to unload and deliver todistributors because the produce is on pallets, notin containers, and has to be handled carefully, hesaid. Related employment in trucking and ware-housing could swell the new jobs per ship to morethan 100, he said. FMI: www.portofnewbedford.org.

‘Sister Port’ agreement may mean regional jobs


Story by Joel GleasonFor Points East

In the spring of 2011, people began asking me whenI was going to Maine. And there was the rub: I hadnobody to go with me. JP, my oldest, is third mate

surance company.Then, on July 10, Randy called to say

he could head for Maine Aug. 6. Randyhas made two trips Downeast with me.He handles the boat expertly, can nav-igate without assistance, and knowsMuscobe like the back of his hand. On Aug. 6, after a hearty breakfast

at the Driftwood, we were off at 0915under high, thin clouds. Randy had thefirst watch. At Gloucester Harbor wedecided to stay outside and go aroundCape Ann, rather than slow down andgo through the Annisquam Canal. Al-though that is shorter, one doesn’t saveany time because of the no-wake re-quirement in the river. We passed out-side Rockport’s Straitsmouth IslandLight and continued north toward theIsles of Shoals. By 1130 we were passing through

the Isles of Shoals. The seas werecalm, with a good surge developingfrom the southeast, and at 1430 we pulled into SpringPoint Marina in South Portland for fuel, after just overfive hours under way. Muscobe took 46 gallons of fuel,averaging 9.2 gallons per hour at our 17-knot cruise.We then pushed off and crossed the approach to

Portland, entering Diamond Pass, the channel be-tween Diamond and Peaks islands. At 1500 we backedinto our slip in Diamond Cove. After washing down theboat, Randy and I relaxed in the cockpit with a “cor-ner,” listening to Paul Sullivan’s beautiful piano music,

After backing into their slip in Diamond Cove, they washed down the boat, andRandy and Dad savored a “corner,” to the strains of Paul Sullivan’s “Sketchesof Maine.”

“Sketches of Maine.”At 1700 we went to the dock house to settle up

($3/foot), then walked up to the Diamond’s EdgeRestaurant for dinner. By the time we returned to theboat it was clouding over. It began raining after mid-

night and continued all night. Weawoke to a dreary, gray Sunday. Therain had diminished, but it was dankand misting enough to make thingsuncomfortable. It was quiet in the cove, but Casco

Bay is often treacherous, so we but-toned down the windows, preparedthe boat for some lumps, and set outat 0930. Turning south into theHussey between Peaks and Long is-lands, conditions began to worsenrapidly. The wind and seas were righton our nose, and soon we were takinggreen water over the bow. The swellswere deep and short, and the windwas furiously tearing off the crests ofwhite foam. Muscobe’s nose rose intothem, then, she’d plunge down andcrash into the sea, sending greatwaves of spray out to either side. Muscobe was handling this may-

hem gallantly, but it was anotherstory with the captain. I’m no spring chicken, andwhen the boat suddenly moves and I don’t, I can getpretty banged up. I began – for the first time I can re-member – to seriously consider turning back. However,as we got into deeper water, the seas seemed to ease.

The author’s favorite display at the Maine Maritime Museum is the lobster mu-seum, which illustrates how the lobster industry has evolved in Maine, and hewanted to show it to Randy.

A few lobstermen were out there hauling, which Ifound encouraging, so we plowed on. After crossingGreen Island Passage, we turned eastward for FullerRock. This brought the seas at us from our starboardbeam, which was much easier to take.After an hour or so we went between Fuller Rock

and Cape Small, past Seguin, and finally turned northinto the Kennebec at 1100. The tide and wind wereagainst us, which caused a lot of turmoil until we gotaway from the influence of the open sea. But then wewere running up against a four-knot current, and wecould feel the river pushing us around.

At 1145 we reached the BathTown Landing. We got her securedand walked up to Betty’s on FrontStreet for coffee and a heartybreakfast. After eating, we idledslowly back down past the BathIronworks and tied up at the MaineMaritime Museum, where my fa-vorite display is the lobster mu-seum, which illustrates how thelobster industry has evolved inMaine. Although lobsters have beenplentiful since before the Euro-peans arrived, there was no indus-try for them early on because,before refrigeration, there was noway to ship them anywhere. In1842 a process was developed forcanning them – and the rest, asthey say, is history.By 1400 we were “museumed

out” and returned to the boat, castoff, and crossed over to enter theSasanoa with Randy at the helm.The Sasanoa River branches offfrom the Kennebec opposite theBath Ironworks, into what is some-times called The Inside Passage. Itis a beautiful waterway that mean-ders through marshlands and iswell marked. But it is deceptive,too, with large areas of apparentlyopen water that may be only a footor so deep at mean low tide. Unlike the mighty Kennebec,

where the power of the river over-rides everything, the incoming tidein the Sasanoa was actually push-ing against us, reducing our speedby a knot or two. Almost immedi-ately after entering the Sasanoa,you arch around a wide bend,which leads you into Upper HellGate. At this point, the river nar-rows and actually drops a couple offeet in a hundred yards or so. Sowhen the tide is running out it’s asleighride. I’ve run it both ways atall different tides, and with Mus-cobe’s big powerplant and oversizedrudder, it’s cake. At the lower end of the Gate, it’s

best to make an immediate rightturn to avoid a small island. Youcan go straight, inside the island;however there’s a rock in there that


used to be marked with a spindle, but it’s beenknocked down. When the current is strong, this sectioncan get your adrenaline running. Some of the buoyshere have flotation collars around them to preventthem from being sucked com-pletely under.A few hundred yards farther,

the river opens up into Hocko-mock Bay, a scenic part of theestuary. This is where it reallyshoals at low tide, and you needto follow the marks and stay inthe channel. At the eastern sideof the bay you can go north upthe Back River, which takes youup to Wiscasset. But it’smarked only with unreliableprivate buoys, and you need towatch your depthfinder andplotter to remain afloat. Weturned south at this point,which brought us to Lower Hell Gate. There’s plentyof water if you stay away from the shore, but ledgesextend outward just under the surface, which createwhirlpools and foam.After this, things widen up, but the current is still

strong, and many lobster buoys are dragged below thesurface. At the southern end of Knubble Bay, the river

makes a 90-degree turn to the left (east) into GooseRock Passage. But first you have to make Nun #4(leave to port going east), which marks a long, nastyledge that covers over at high water.

The other end of Goose RockPassage puts you into theSheepscot River, where rocks,ledges, and other dangers arenumerous but well-marked.Once across the river, we madefor Townsend Gut, the secondleg of the Inside Passage. Thereare several ways to enter, but Ialways go straight across andsplit nuns #10 and #12 at Hard-ing Ledge, then turn northwardfor a few hundred yards be-tween Spectacle Island and Isleof Springs. From there, we makea turn south into the Gut, a cou-ple of hundred yards beyond.

Here again, you must slip in between a green daymark, and a nun, which marks yet another treacher-ous ledge.There are so many delightful and scenic parts of

Maine, but this is definitely one of my favorites.Townsend Gut isn’t very long, but it’s beautiful, withgranite ledges topped with spruce and pines lining the

After topping off at the Carousel Marina fueldock, Muscobe slipped across the harbor to theBoothbay Harbor Yacht to relax in her cockpit.

shore. The shore to our right was Southport Island.About halfway through the gut, there’s a swing bridge.With her mast and antennas, Muscobe needs just un-

der 14 feet of clearance. We were at about half tide atthis point, so we waited for the bridge to open andglided through.

Fifteen minutes later, we were tying up at theCarousel Marina fuel dock. Because half the day hadbeen spent motoring at reduced speed, our averageburn was a stingy 4.6 gph. We went up to the office tosay hello to the owner, Jack Cogswell, my old Marble-head High School chum. After that, we slipped acrossthe harbor to the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club, andsoon we were relaxing in the cockpit.I awoke Monday at 0545 and looked out at a foggy

overcast. However, the sun had begun to peek throughby the time I brought the boat into the dock for myshower and breakfast at the Ebb Tide. At 1045 wewere off — a late start, but we were only bound forCamden, just three hours away. Before heading for Pe-maquid Point, I turned north toward Christmas Coveso we could pass through The Thread of Life, whichRandy had never seen. My sailor friends chide me forowning a powerboat. But when you have the advan-tage of cruising at 17 knots, a side jaunt like this takesonly a few minutesSoon we were rounding Pemaquid Point, turning to

our heading of 87 degrees for our next waypoint: East-ern Egg Rock, six miles away. Muscobe’s faithful Yan-mar purred along. The seas were calm, the sun bright,and the wind was at our backs. It was comfortablywarm. Life was good. Randy guided us past Egg Rock,then through the passage at Allen Island into thetricky approaches past Port Clyde, where several lob-

stermen were busy at their trade. The tide was fairlylow, so many reefs and ledges were awash and visible. Winding our way through the maze of lobster buoys,

we passed Mosquito Island and turned north forWhitehead Island Light at the entrance to the MuscleRidge Channel. Once through, we rounded Ash Islandinto Owl’s Head Bay, and shortly before 1330, we en-tered Camden’s outer harbor. At the Wayfarer Marine gas dock, we took just under

25 gallons of fuel, which calculated out at 6.8 gph. Thatseemed unusually low, since we had been steaming atnormal cruise (2500 rpm and 17 knots), but maybethere was some slow time in there. Later in the afternoon, we walked around Bay View

Street. We went to the Waterfront for an early dinner,and stopped at my favorite Camden store, the Duck-trap Bay Trading Company. Back at the boat, the har-bor became quiet, and we turned in for a peacefulsleep. Tuesday morning we awoke to a glorious day —

warm with bright sun and light air. We cast off at 1005with Randy at the helm, bound for the Fox IslandsThorofare, some six miles across Penobscot Bay. Theentrance is riddled with ledges and other dangers, butthey are well marked, so pay attention to the chart.Once inside and past the Sugar Loaves, I slowed as weapproached the anchorage at the town of NorthHaven, the site of J.O.

wanted Randy to see. Going there is like stepping backto 1954. The rickety floats are gray with age, and thefuel pumps look as if they’ve been there 50 years ormore. Inside the shed are the signs and scents of manyyears of wooden-boat building. On our way again, by 1250 we were at the Stoning-

ton Town Landing, in time for breakfast at the Harbor

Café. Off again, we exited Deer IslandThorofare and ran across Jericho Bay tothe York Narrows, at Buckle and Swansislands. Once through, we crossed BlueHill Bay to Bass Harbor bar, and aroundLong Ledge. By 1400 we were motoringinto Western Way toward SouthwestHarbor, motoring up Somes Sound toValley Cove to take in the scenery.High, thin clouds were moving in, so

we headed for Northeast Harbor, whereI’d reserved a slip. At 1500 we were atClifton Dock to get fuel and ice. Idlingdown to the marina, I called the harbor-master, who put us temporarily on thecommercial dock. No problem. We se-cured the boat and sat back to take inthe sights and sounds.If Camden is the “Gem of the Maine

Coast,” Northeast Harbor is the HopeDiamond. Here, one finds the homes ofHinckley, Morris, Stanley, Jarvis New-

man, and other well-known classic designs. Close by,you’ll find the Duffy, Holland and Young Brothersshops. Just gorgeous traditional designs, both commer-cial and pleasure.Eventually, we moved over to our slip. I had hoped

to take Randy up to the Asticou Inn and Gardens, but

Muscobe motored into Western Way toward Southwest Harbor, and ran upSomes Sound to Valley Cove so the crew could take in the scenery.

it was getting late, so we walked upto the Colonel’s Café for dinner. Wechecked the marine weather uponour return, and the forecast calledfor rain with 25- to 30-mph winds.After midnight the rain started,and it continued all night. Thewind howled through the rigging ofnearby sailboats, and it was rain-ing and blowing hard in the morn-ing as I walked up to the heads. Iwent into the harbormaster’s officeand asked if our slip was availablefor another night. It was. Walkingback, we noticed the wind had sub-sided, so I told the harbormaster’soffice we’d give it a shot. “Where’reyou headed?” came a voice from be-hind me. I told him Boothbay Har-bor.“Piece of cake,” he said. “You’re

protected most of the way.”“What about Penobscot Bay, from

Fox Islands Thorofare to the Mus-cle Ridge Channel?” I asked him.“That’s only about five miles.

Then you have a little stretch downto Port Clyde that’s open, but you’ll be okay from there

till you get past Egg Rock.”And so we’re out of our slip at

0925. Once clear of the Cranber-ries, we encountered heavy south-west winds and four- to five-footseas in Western Way. But at LongLedge, the wind was due east, andwhen we turned west it was di-rectly on our backs. We surfed overto Bass Harbor bar, and once acrossit things settled down.Cruising uneventfully through

the Fox Islands Thorofare, weagain passed the Sugar Loaves,and leaving the big stone beacon onFiddler’s Ledge to starboard, weplowed into West Penobscot Bay.Here, there was some surge, but itwasn’t too bad, and, as the man hadsaid, it was only for five miles. Sowe white-knuckled it down to Fish-erman’s Passage and into the Mus-cle Ridge Channel, where we wereonce again sheltered.I had the leg from Whitehead Is-

required a lot of effort. Randy took the wheel as we

hell broke loose. Here, the seas were coming at us un-broken and from two directions. The worst were fromthe southeast, hitting our port quarter; and they wererunning eight to 10 feet and pushing us all over theplace. We had no option but to press on, surfing madlydown the backs of the seas. Suddenly, one of them caught Muscobe perfectly,

pushing her crazily down into the trough. I thought wewere going to broach and roll over, but I yanked thethrottle back, and the swell slid harmlessly under-neath. The moment passed, but my hands were shak-ing. After we got home, I called Colby Young to ask himabout this incident. “You cannot put the nose of thatthutty-three under in a following sea, Joel,” he said.“She might scare you. But she’ll nevah hurt you.” By now we were about a mile from Pemaquid Point.

I changed course and headed farther out to sea. “Whatare you doing, Dad?” Randy asked.“If we lose the engine, I want to be a good distance

offshore until we get past Pemaquid and Thrumcap Is-land,” I told him. Once past there, I handed the boatoff to Randy, who took us the rest of the way into

Boothbay Harbor, arriving at 1355. By 0845 the nextday, we were off under a low overcast with light south-west winds and good visibility. At The Cuckolds, weturned toward Fuller Rock on the last long leg home.By 1000 the overcast began to break up and patchesof blue appeared overhead. “It will burn off by ten!”said Randy with a grin.By the time we were off Cape Elizabeth, the wind

had intensified, and at our cruising speed of 17 knots,we were taking a beating. So I eased the rpm back to2350, which had us moving at 15 knots, but it wasmore tolerable. After passing through the Isles ofShoals, we began to come into the lee of Cape Ann. At1400 Randy brought Muscobe into the Annisquamcanal. As we passed the Cape Ann Marina, I called theBlynman Bridge and asked for an opening, telling himI needed just under 14 feet. His response: “If you stayright in the middle, you’ll have about fourteen feet.”We squeaked under with inches to spare.The wind was still strong from the southeast, but the

visibility was spectacular as we cleared the breakwa-ter at Eastern Point and turned west. At 1530 weslipped alongside the Corinthian floats six hours and45 minutes after leaving Boothbay Harbor. Muscobehad brought us home safe and sound once again.

Story and photos by Damon GannonFor Points East

They say the second happiest day of a sailor’s lifeis the day he buys his boat and his happiestday is the day that he sells it. It’s no coinci-

dence that some people say the same thing aboutmarriage and divorce. In fact, lots of nautical phrasesare used to describe relationships, like “smooth sail-ing” or “stormy seas.” Boats are like people, and each has its personality:

A trailerable Com-Pac 19, can’t re-place our Pearson 28 cruiser, butshe’ll satisfy our sailing needs, aswe settle into new jobs and afresh life in Maine, in the . . .

Meantime

We can trailer the Com-Pac 19 to any body of water accessible by boat ramp (we used a rental truck for her shakedown), mainte-nance times and costs are lower, and shallow draft allows us to explore areas inaccessible to most cruising sailboats.

the steady and dependable ones; the hot-temperedones; the old, ponderous ones; the stubborn ones; theprima donnas; and the misfits. The character traitsof boats can inspire our love and devotion, or justdrive us crazy. Unhealthy relationships can’t endsoon enough, but we hope that good friendships go onforever. So it’s a shame when circumstances conspireto keep good friends apart.

Three years ago my wife, Janet, and I moved fromFlorida to Maine. The move was a great opportunityfor us: good jobs, closer to our families, and the chanceto move back to a beautiful part of the country. Theonly misgiving we had about the move regarded thefate of Ohana, our 1977 Pearson 28. We grappled with what we should do with Ohana.

We mused about sailing her to New England; after

We were saying good-bye forever to a dear friend. Ohana had taken us to some amazing places, shown us some of the hap-piest times of our lives, and she always kept us safe.

all, that was her birthplace. Butwe simply didn’t have enoughtime to make the trip before thestart dates of our new jobs. Weconsidered trucking Ohana toMaine, but realized we weren’tgoing to have time to sail or main-tain her for the next severalyears. I was about to become the direc-

tor of a biological research stationon an island in the Bay of Fundy.Although we would be spendingplenty of time on boats, my workschedule in summer would be in-tense, with little room for sailing.Taking her with us would be adeath sentence for Ohana. Rarelydo sailboats suffer from over-use,but the opposite condition is fatal.We knew we had to sell Ohana. Our initial efforts to sell her

were half-hearted. We couldn’tbring ourselves to deface her hullwith a “For Sale” sign. But as ourmoving date approached, we real-ized we had to get serious. Theweekend before our departure,Janet organized a boat show foreveryone at our sailing club whowas trying to sell a boat. On thefirst day of the show, we had sev-eral people come aboard, but noneseemed serious about making anoffer. Given Florida’s economy atthat time, not many people werein a buying mood. Over dinner that evening, we

faced the reality that we mighthave to store Ohana in a boatyardand attempt to sell her fromMaine. To temporarily put thoseunpleasant thoughts out of mind,we invited a group of friends for amoonlight sail on Sarasota Baythat night. It was a perfectevening: warm, steady breezes, abright moon, and good company— just what we needed to get usout of our funk. At the dock the next morning

“boat-show” traffic had picked up.A couple that came aboardseemed serious about buying aboat. Seeing their reactionbrought back memories of the


first time Janet and I had beenaboard Ohana. When the wifewent below to inspect the saloon, Icould see her eyes grow wide, andshe glanced at her husband. I knew exactly what they were

thinking because Janet and I hadexchanged similar glances fiveyears before when we realized wehad found our next boat. On ourfirst introduction to Ohana, weconducted our usual inspection ofchainplates, keel bolts, bulkheads,sails, running and standing rig-ging, deck hardware, and engine— all while concealing our emo-tions. This boat was a gem, and weinstantly knew we were going tomake an offer on her, but we didn’twant the yacht broker to see howexcited we were. As soon as thebroker turned his back, Janetlooked at me and quietly mouthed“I want this boat!” I quickly nod-ded in agreement.Flash-forward a few years: The

husband and wife who were nowinspecting Ohana had the samewide eyes Janet and I had hadyears earlier. After exchanginggood-byes, the couple walked up totheir car in the parking lot. Fifteenminutes later, they were back for asecond look at Ohana, and withinan hour they had given us a de-posit check. The deal was finalizedby 9:15 on the following morning. As we were gathering up the last

of our personal belongings andwere about to leave Ohana for thefinal time, Janet looked at me,again with wide eyes, but thistime, tears were streaming downher face. We both dropped every-thing and had a good cry. We weresaying good-bye forever to a dearfriend. Ohana had taken us tosome amazing places, shown ussome of the happiest times of ourlives, and always kept us safe. Andshe was no slouch around the rac-ing buoys; she always made uslook like better sailors than we re-ally are. We signed the title over to the

new owners and left Ohana with

heavy hearts. This definitely wasnot the happiest day of our lives.But Janet and I were about to be-gin a new chapter and wepromised each other that some daysoon we would have another cruis-ing boat and continue our sailingadventures. A sailor without a boat is like a

bird without wings…or an addictwithout drugs. After we soldOhana, Janet and I soon sufferedfrom boat withdrawal. The fact

that we were in Maine, with itsendless supply of beautiful boats,was just cruel irony. Wherever wewent, we’d visit boatyards, scram-bling over snow and ice in winterjust to look at the bottoms of boatsthat were packed together like sar-dines. But our situation was notconducive to owning a “proper”cruising boat. Thus it was that we decided a

trailer-sailer would allow us tomaximize our sailing during the

Likewise,we could take advantage of goodweather days in the fall, well aftermost marinas had closed for the sea-son.

boat that our pickup truck could tow comfortably andthat Janet and I could rig easily. The more difficultthe transition from roadworthiness to seaworthiness,the less we would use the boat. As luck would haveit, we found a Com-Pac that was in Bristol condition. We dubbed our new Com-Pac 19 Meantime, signi-

fying a transitional boat for us, one that will suit ourneeds until we are ready to buy our ultimate cruiser.We delayed painting the new name on the hull andholding the traditional re-christening ceremony forfear she would not appreciate being regarded as astepping-stone to something better. On the first weekend in May, Janet and I took

Meantime out for a shakedown sail. The water tem-perature was still in the low 40s, but it was a niceday. We put the boat through her paces, beating ourway out of the long, narrow Mere Point Bay into 12knots of breeze, close-reaching out into Casco Bay toChebeague Island, broad-reaching to Harpswell Neckon the opposite tack, and then running wing-and-wing back to the boat ramp at Mere Point. It was theperfect shakedown cruise, and Janet and I agreedthat Meantime was more nimble than we had ex-pected. Once back at the boat ramp, Janet went to fetch the

truck and trailer while I straightened things up on

the boat. As she started to back down the boat ramp,she stopped suddenly. “Did you hear that?” she asked. “It was probably just the trailer creaking,” I said. “No, it was coming from the front end of the truck,

on the driver’s side.” “Well, I’m sure it’s OK,” I as-sured her. Janet continued backing down the ramp.All of a sudden, there was a loud CRACK, and half adozen ball bearings fell out from under the truck. Thewheel bearing on the front left wheel had had a catas-trophic failure. The bell-shaped housing that containsthe wheel bearings had had a catastrophic failure, ex-ploding into a hundred tiny pieces. Maybe thistrailer-sailing wasn’t going to be as easy as we’dthought.Janet was able to drive the truck and empty trailer

back up to the parking lot. But now we needed a placeto moor Meantime for the night, a ride back to town,and a tow truck to transport our pickup truck. And,of course, it was after 5 p.m., and we hadn’t seen an-other soul on the water during that entire chillyspring day. We quickly motored the boat to Paul’s Marina. They

immediately set us up with a temporary mooring (forwhich they were reluctant to take any payment, buteventually we settled on $9.50 for the night). John,the marina’s salty operations manager, even ar-ranged for someone to give us a ride home. We calleda tow truck, which we expected to cost an arm and a

leg. To our surprise, the tow truck only cost $40. Wethen visited the police station in town, to explain whythe trailer would be left overnight at the boat ramp,asking forgiveness for breaking the “No OvernightParking” rule. Now, we just needed to get the boat and trailer

home. The next morning we rented a truck to tow ourtrailer. I probably shouldn’t divulge the name of thetruck-rental company for legal reasons, so let’s justcall it “You-Stall.” Unfortunately, the local You-Stallbranch didn’t have any pickup trucks available so wehad to rent a 15-foot moving truck — you know, thekind with the big cargo box that makes it impossibleto see anything behind you, such as the trailer thatyou are trying to back down the boat ramp. It wasn’tperfect but it would suffice for one short trip. At leastall four of its wheels appeared to be firmly attachedto the rest of the vehicle, which was more than wecould say for our truck. We arrived back at the boat ramp, and, after con-

siderable effort, we backed the trailer down the long

ramp and pulled the boat out of the water without in-cident. We unstepped the mast, prepared the boat forthe road, and drove back to our house. Once thetrailer advanced a few feet down the driveway, thetruck started to struggle. Figuring that I had backedthe trailer into some obstacle, I cut the engine andgot out to see what the problem was. But the trailerwas right in the center of the driveway with nothingin its way. I got back into the cab, but now the engine wouldn’t

start. We popped the hood to check the condition ofthe battery and its connections. All seemed fine. Westill had plenty of work remaining to do on the boat,so we decided to let You-Stall’s 24-hour roadside ser-vice handle it. An hour later, a truck from a local service station

arrived. The driver tested the battery, then attachedthe cables from his heavy-duty battery booster. Butno matter what the mechanic tried, that truck would-n’t even think about starting. Perplexed by this mys-tery, he began examining the entire engine and soon

discovered the source of the problem: the dipstick wascompletely dry. There wasn’t a drop of oil in the en-gine. Inspecting the oil pan and underbody didn’t re-veal any sign of a leak, so it was likely that thisproblem had been in the making for a long time. Now this hulking corpse of a truck was stuck in our

driveway, probably with an irreparably seized engine.This was our second vehicle of the weekend thatneeded to be towed away. So our short shakedown cruise turned into a 32-

hour trial. But never once during these events didJanet and I exchange any harsh words. Maybe we’rejust mellowing with age, but there really wasn’t any-thing that either of us could have done to preventthese problems, and we took each misfortune instride. Despite everything, we still had fun. The truckproblems and resulting issues were comical. And wegot to meet interesting people, who went out of theirway to help us. Above all, the boat had performed flawlessly. We

had a beautiful day of early spring sailing, when mostother boats were still smothered under their wintercovers. It was great to be out on the water, and wehad forgotten how fun it is to sail a small boat. Thereis something about being close to the water’s surfaceand being able to instantly feel every trim adjust-ment and every wind shift. To our delight, we discovered more upsides to

trailer-sailing: The shallow draft allows us to exploreareas inaccessible to most cruising sailboats, and thelower maintenance requirements mean that propor-tionately more of our time is spent sailing ratherthan fixing equipment. And we can trailer the boat toany body of water accessible by boat ramp. PenobscotBay, dozens of mountain-rimmed lakes, Acadia Na-tional Park, and Cape Cod are all within a few hours’drive of our home. Some day we will sail off to distant horizons in a

blue-water cruiser, but the boat we really want is stillfar off in our future. Our jobs take us, for most of thesummer, to a remote field-research station in the Bayof Fundy. It’s gratifying work that keeps us busyaround the clock for months at a time. But in theMeantime, we’ll be having fun gunkholing around thecoast of Maine during spring and fall.

running backstays are on, the storm sails are ready,the third reef point is in the main, the jerrycans of wa-ter and fuel are secured, the life raft and EPIRB areinspected and are in place. We had to sit through a great week of weather while

we waited for the canvas man, and waited for a partfor the outboard. When you are finally, finally readyfor the big adventure, the patience wears thin and youjust want to go. Finally, we did. Our first leg was to Portland, where we visited with

friends and waited for another good weather window.Looking back, I have to admit, the universe knows. Wehave to pay attention to that. Had we left a week ear-lier, there is a good chance that we would have goneoffshore earlier, and gotten involved in the severeearly-November storms, and Hurricane Sean. As cruisers, and in life, we need to listen to those gut

feelings, and allow for the delays. And then really en-joy the ride.

Oct. 5, 2011: Ahoy there, we are finally under way!We departed Portland Harbor at 0830. There’s a small-craft advisory, which could really affect us, but we aregoing with the northerly winds and the wave action.It is great. We are making good time, so not sure howfar we will go today. The sun is shining, the bow ispointed south, life is good.

Oct. 6:We headed out of Portsmouth, N.H., at 7 a.m.,under a beautiful, clear sky, but it was ohhhhh so chilly.I should have done some rodeo training before we left.It was like riding a bucking bronco today for a while, sowe ducked into Gloucester after a five-hour passage.Also, maybe we pressed a little too much because an-other sailboat came from way behind, passed us, andwent way, way ahead. We were averaging seven knots,so they had to be doing . . . I don’t want to talk about it.Anyway, we are at the Eastern Point Yacht Club. Very

nice. Very old.Walked into town – a very long walk – and caught the

bus back. Here we are. Early start toward the Cape CodCanal tomorrow.

Oct. 7: We awakened this a.m. to a beautiful, clearsky and still quite brisk temps. The Gulf of Maine andCape Cod Bay were beautiful — for water-skiing. Nowind, so we motored the whole day with significantrock-and-roll action while the seas calm down from thepast several days of big winds.So there wasn’t much going on. I spliced a new line

for the dinghy painter, and Larry and I talked aboutweather. For me, it’s kind of like understanding electric-ity: I have trouble making the connections. But Larry,he thought a cold front is when his fly is open. I don’teven want to ask what he thinks a high-pressure sys-tem is.

harbor, and a lady going by in a dinghy called,“Sharon is that you?” Lucy B. is a former student ofWomen Under Sail, and was on her way out sailing.Yeah!!

Oct. 11: We are now on our way to Long IslandSound. Yesterday, Larry’s daughter Jill and ourgranddaughter Isabella joined us for the trip downthe sound to New York City. Our first leg was to Cut-tyhunk Island. We got off the boat and went for a long

walk. We were last there about 15 years ago. My, howthat place has changed!Crossing Buzzards Bay, and heading for Point Ju-

dith, R.I., at this moment. Broad reach at about fourknots. Sounds like weather is coming in tomorrow.Haven’t decided what we’ll do. Trying to get to WatchHill, and then we’ll see.

Oct. 14:We went into Branford, Conn., last night.Branford has a very narrow/shallow channel into avery congested boating center. Five marinas with over2,000 boats crammed into a small space.(this has tobe utter chaos in the summer). We moored betweentwo pilings. We have never seen this before. You pickup a line they have between the two posts and thenconnect bow and stern. We spent a quiet night.We screwed up the outboard this a.m., and found

some really helpful folks at the marina. Paul hasworked at this marina for 43 years and knows every-one. He helped us get a mechanic, Paulie, and it’s aneasy fix, but we do need a new part, so we will get thattomorrow here in Bridgeport. Paulie is a “Jersey Boy”if ever I’ve seen one. And Paul and Paulie are thenicest guys you’d want to meet.

Oct. 15:We are in Bridgeport so I can have an inter-view with the schooner captain for Sisters Under Sail.I may have an opportunity to be a relief skipper for theorganization next sum-mer. Fingers crossed.We went to meet thecaptain of the schoonerUnicorn, which is 110feet long and wasDutch-built in the1940s as a fishingtrawler from the metalfrom captured GermanU-boats. On deck, it isoverwhelming, and inneed of some TLC; be-lowdecks she is fittedout beautifully. I aminvited to “volunteer”to train as a skippernext season.So then we decided

to beat feet for NewYork City because theweather reports wereof rain and very unfavorable winds. It was another nicesail 40 miles to City Island. Well, it was nice until aboutthe last two hours, when the winds built, and squalls

hit, and things generally turned to . . . ., but we got inat dusk, and the rain stopped.Our first view of the city was just as enchanting, and

exciting as ever. All ofsudden you can makeout the silhouette ofthis massive skyline ofbuildings, and it wassunset, and it is likethis huge accomplish-ment. I love gettinghere.We are on a mooring

on the east side of CityIsland. This is at theend of Long IslandSound where you en-ter the East River. Weare next to another is-land where there’s apotter’s field for manyof the unknowns ofthe city. Very sad, kindof creepy. It has oldbuildings from pris-

ons, and an asylum.

Oct. 16:Today, we went to check out City Island and

look for a boat part. City Island is very historic, andvery cool. Like a step back in time, and very New York:They think we have accents in Maine! We went into aMaritime Museum, which is amazing. They used tobuild some very fancy, famous yachts here back in theday.We have had some really nice sails so far on the

trip – a crisp broad reach nearly every day. Things aregoing to change for us soon as the winds shift to thesouthwest. We are 50 miles from NYC and have plansto meet some friends and do some tourist things.

Oct. 17:Woke early and caught a bus off City Island,and then caught the 6 train into the city. Isabella hasnever been here, and when we got off the train at 77thStreet, the look on her face was priceless. Monsterbuildings, monster traffic, people everywhere – over-whelming. We decided to check out the 79th Streetboat basin on the Hudson River, so we figured we couldjust walk across Central Park and pick it up on theother side. Well, I should have had my compass orGPS, because we didn’t go the right direction. Duringthat trek, we had a delightful journey in Central Park,got involved in a huge walk for cancer research, heardlive music in several locations in the park, saw peoplerowing in ponds with water as green as the greenesttrees. Then we got on Columbus Avenue and walked

through the best arts and crafts show, and at the otherend of that show was the Sunday flea market. Westruck gold, and it was so much fun. Then we finallymade it to the marina, and hooked up with our Jerseyfriends, who took us to the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que inHarlem. OMG, what awsome food! It is right next tothe original Cotton Club, so that was pretty cool, too.After pigging out on the piggy, we went up town toTimes Square, to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and on andon. We walked a zillion miles.

Oct. 18:Today Jill arrived, we did laundry, and thensailed down the East River, along the East side ofManhattan, made it through Hell Gate, past La-guardia Airport, Riker’s Island prison, dodged thehuge Staten Island ferries, and admired Lady Liberty. I gotta tell ya, sailing up to the Statue of Liberty just

takes my breath away. What an experience. What his-tory. What a day. Not over yet. We are now moored atthe 79th Street Boat Basin on the Hudson, and I amsure that someone put our boat into a washing ma-chine. Not much sleep tonight I think. Tomorrow, weare going to the 911 Memorial, and we will try to scoresome tickets for a show.Capt. Sharon Renk-Greenlaw is owner of, and in-

The Newport Bermuda Racehas six divisions and 17 classes.The 166 boats entered in lastJune’s event raced for over 100trophies, including five major di-vision trophies under the Off-shore Racing Rule (ORR)system, and one major prize forIRC that combines most boats inthe St. David’s and Gibbs Hill di-visions that choose to be dual-scored.

Atlantic Class: An 85-year, all-Northeast affairBy Berto NevinFor Points East

Starling Burgess was ahead of his time when he de-signed the 30-foot Atlantic in 1927. When looking atthe New York Yacht Club model, or photographs, of the1937 Cup Defender Ranger that he designed a decadelater, one sees an Atlantic on steroids. The Atlantic was elegant, beautifully balanced and

tracked well, so it quickly established itself as thefastest one-design class of its size. Even in blusterysummer weather, it out-sailed the larger InternationalOne Design. Several Atlantics had been brought toBlue Hill by Dr. Seth Milliken. He gave one each toFred and Alida Camp, his daughter and son-in-lawand one to his other daughter Martha. Alvin Dohme,of Dohms’ Pills fame, Boots Britton, and Henry Wan-ning also bought into the fleet when they realized howwell the Atlantics sailed. The Burgess name was not unknown hereabouts.

Many local sailors had cut their tiller teeth on the Bru-tal Beast, a Burgess design 13-foot catboat whose un-forgiving nature either helped hone sailing skills orpersuaded one to never, ever consider small-boat sail-ing a viable summer pastime.One report has it that two of the Milliken Atlantics

came into the bay as deck cargo on one of the large pri-vate motor yachts that were a common sight in thosedays; another was sailed from Portland. The experi-enced sea captain making that delivery claimed later

that in all his years at sea he had never been scareduntil he found himself in Penobscot Bay, sailing an At-lantic before a smoky southwesterly in the short, steepfollowing sea. Yet the Atlantics were perfectly suitedfor the protected waters of Blue Hill Bay. Given theirspeed, especially in extremely light air, they appealedto the young, hotly competitive racing skipper, so thefleet continued to grow until the war broke out. WWII put an end to normal racing, although racing

activity did not come to a complete standstill. A vet-eran Atlantic skipper, Delight Weston, arranged racesfor the Brutal Beast class, using her Atlantic, Delight’sFrolic, as committee boat and rescue ship.The Blue Hill Atlantic fleet flourished after the war.

About eight to 10 Atlantics arrived at the starting lineon race days, until the end of the 1940s, and then thefleet went into steep decline. That reservoir of young,aggressive skippers who came home from the war, andattended college on the GI bill, had graduated and nowhad to find work. The boats were also showing their age. Lightly built

to begin with, they leaked copiously when sailed hard.The Long Island Sound fleets also suffered when theirskippers, attracted to newer fiberglass one-designs, de-serted. Yet the Atlantics could beat them all, sailingboat for boat, until the arrival of the Etchells 22 in1966. Despite the drop in skippers, the Atlantic Class

Association was adamant that the fleet remain a“closed class,” that is, they would not approve the in-troduction of new boats into the class, but they didcome up with a compromise that may have savedthem. They approved “conversions” of boats to fiber-glass hulls. With financial support from one of theirchampion skippers, Briggs Cunningham, they commis-sioned Cape Cod Shipbuilding in Wareham, Mass., tomake a mold for an Atlantic hull. The writer John Hersey volunteered his Rumour to

be the prototype. After a season of racing the glass Ru-mour, Hersey submitted an extensive report on herperformance. Based on his findings, the Class Associ-ation decided to accept fiberglass hulls. It was a lim-iting decision because, in order to obtain a fiberglassAtlantic, one needed the original deadwood and keelto attach the hull to, but it stabilized the Long IslandSound fleets.The Blue Hill fleet continued to dwindle to where

they could not get any Atlantics to race. In 1957, abrazen young local skipper and his sister decided to dosomething about it. That fall they bought an old At-lantic, ordered a glass hull from Cape Cod Shipbuild-ing, and arranged for a boatyard in Saugatuck, Conn.,to make the conversion. He spent the following Julysailing the newly converted Lucero from Saugatuck to

Blue Hill, singlehanding much of the way. She won every race in that August Series. The hope

was, given her performance, others would be per-suaded to convert their Atlantics, but the conversionswere slow in coming. In 1962, the second glass At-lantic, Madcap, arrived. She swiftly put a dent inLucero’s flawless winning streak and then came thedeluge. The Class Association abandoned the original-dead-

wood requirement, thus opening the class, and the de-mographics of Blue Hill had changed dramatically.There was a surfeit of highly competitive rock stars,for whom the Atlantic served as a perfect weapon. NowBlue Hill’s Kollegewidgwok Yacht Club boasts of hav-ing the largest Atlantic fleet. For the first time ever, in 2008, the Class held their

National Championship series outside Long Islandsound in Blue Hill. It will be held again in Blue Hill inAugust, and about 45 boats are expected to compete.With today’s technology, the boats are “trailer-friendly,” and the character of Blue Hill Bay makes itan ideal location for the class to hold their races.A lifelong summer resident of Blue Hill, Ethelbert (or

“Berto”) moved here full time with his wife, JenniferMitchell, in 1996 from San Francisco, after a career incollege textbook publishing with W. W. Norton. He is anexperienced one-design sailor, having raced Shields inSan Francisco Bay and Atlantics in Blue Hill.

The ill skipper of the 46-foot sloop Seabiscuit was evac-uated from his boat competing in the Newport BermudaRace. Nathan C. Owen (Norwell, Mass.), racing in the Dou-ble-Handed Division, was suffering from complicationsfrom dehydration. A report of his condition was relayed tothe race’s primary emergency physician, Barbara A.Masser MD, at Beth Israel Deaconess, in Needham,Mass. Dr. Masser emailed recommendations for Owen’streatment to the race’s team of watchstanders, who re-layed the advice to Seabiscuit. Watchstander Steven Thingreviewed a list of boats that had doctors in the crew, andasked the nearest one, Flying Lady, to rendezvous withSeabiscuit and assist in treating the patient. The sea wastoo rough to transfer the doctor, but Flying Lady tossedmedications and medical equipment across to Seabiscuit. Dr. Masser soon determined that Owen should be under

professional care, and the Rescue Coordination Centreasked the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Enchantment ofthe Seas, en route from Bermuda to Boston, to effect anevacuation. The ship took Owen off Seabiscuit at approxi-mately 3 a.m. on Monday morning. His crew, JonathanGreen, sailed on to Bermuda.

The 2012 Rockland-Castine Regatta, “2nd RevivalEdition,” was again a huge success. Twenty-five boatsregistered, and 24 made it to the starting line on July7. The wind forecast for both Saturday and Sunday wasfor 10-plus knots of west-northwest breeze.On Saturday, the wind was light just before the start;

however, as Panacea crossed the line to start the pur-suit race, the wind filled in to a very nice 12- to 15-knotbreeze. All the racing boats started with spinnakers inRockland Harbor and raced a mostly straight course20-plus miles to Castine. The wind was up and downbut never under eight knots, and the direction went abit more northerly at the end requiring most of theboats to finish under jib or genoa only in Castine. On Sunday, the sailors woke up to a strong breeze

that at one point was about 25 knots from the west-northwest. Just after the start, the wind died down to15 knots, but stayed strong all the way to the finish inRockland. Fast times were set both days, with IrishLady, a Farrier 28A trimaran skippered by James Love,finishing in two hours, 18 minutes and two seconds onSaturday. On Sunday, Bluebird, a Morris Justine 36skippered by Gust Stringos, finished in two hours, nine

minutes and 35 seconds.The overall winner was Keemah, a J/105 skippered

by Steph Helms and owned by Don Logan. They wonthe overall by winning their division, Racing 2, bothdays, and by beating the other two boats who also wontheir divisions both days, Too Elusive and Walkabout,by just over two minutes in combined elapsed time.

fith Show expressing the most doubt. Today’s younger sailing enthusiasts seem to feel that

what their parents thought of as “futuristic” yacht de-signs were actually pretty conventional. They hadabout as little apprehension about their appropriate-ness as they have about using the iPhone in a roman-tic four-star restaurant. (“Dude…so what if the jib hasbeen replaced with a wing?!”)To build interest in the actual defense, which is to

be hosted by San Francisco inSeptember 2013, Cup racing pro-moters scheduled a series of racesat various yachting Meccas, in-cluding Cascais, Portugal; Ply-mouth, England; San Diego, andthe above-mentioned Italianvenues. Involved in the racingwere teams from the UnitedStates, France, Italy, Korea, NewZealand and Sweden. Designatedas AC45s (America’s Cup 45 foot-ers), the carbon-fiber cats in theAC World Series were all built as one-designs by CoreBuilders of Warkworth, New Zealand.For the main event, the AC45s will be scaled up into

AC72s (yes, 72-footers), and will be built by the syndi-cates of each challenger. Think of the 45s as trial-sizecontenders that are working out yacht-constructiondetails and a myriad of other technical issues pertain-ing to hulls and rigs. The World Series format is also atest of sorts of fan related logistics since the races nowhave, like NASCAR, viewing areas on terra firma, butclose by the racecourses. Naturally, there were stillspectator boats and a well-developed Race Village onthe north lawn of Fort Adams was colonized aroundJuly 1.Based on a great deal of scuttlebutt I overheard dur-

ing the Series, it appears that Cup fans liked twothings MUCH better than the way they were aroundNewport in 1983: the inshore courses and the TV cov-erage. The courses for both match and fleet racing

were set so that viewers at Fort Adams, Goat Island,and even on the Jamestown shore, could easily see theaction – even without binoculars. With binoculars youcould pretend you were actually on the boats. In the “old days” the 12-Meter boats would be towed

out of Newport Harbor in the morning, disappear forhours, and then someone would telegraph in the racedetails to the news outlets. Talk about restricted ac-cess!And the TV coverage was absolutely superb, with on-

board cameras, and cameras onchase boats, and as many asthree low-hovering helicopterscapturing the dramatic action.The running TV commentarywas excellent, and the ability tosuperimpose graphics on videoscreens showing courses as wellas starting and finish lines (likeNFL line-of-scrimmage graphics)helped those new to yacht racingto really understand what washappening and what was going

to happen next. To get an idea how dramatically the Cup races have

changed, think skiers and snowboarders. They bothtraverse the same ground, but that’s about it. Frankly,Newport race fans seemed to be more interested in therevolutionary boat designs; accessible, viewer-friendlycourses; and spectacular TV coverage than they werein the team results. That skipper Russell Coutts and Oracle Team USA

won the well-orchestrated Newport match-racing se-ries was almost a footnote. But now that America’sCup fans have gotten answers to a lot of pre-seriesquestions, expect them to focus more on the actual rac-ing and teams in the events leading up to San Fran-cisco.Greg Coppa has been sailing on Narragansett Bay

for over 50 years in Blue Jays, Lightnings, Ensigns, as-sorted Bristols and Pearsons, and most recently in aSabre 28, Coppacetic.

The Other Side of the Ice By Sprague Theobald and Allan Krada, Skyhorse Publishing,2012, 240 pp., $20.34 (hard-cover).

Reviewed by Sandy MarstersFor Points East

It has been a long time since the marine-publishing trade has given us a compelling,true sea story. We have one now in “TheOther Side of the Ice.” This is a story abouta man chasing a dream, to navigate a smallboat through the treacherous Northwest Pas-sage. It is not a story about heroes. It is a storyabout six flawed and very human beings com-ing together on a 57-foot boat for the adventureof a lifetime. There is danger absolutely everywhere: shift-

ing pack ice, endless gales, polar bears, deepcold, malfunctioning equipment, deeply compli-cated relationships, shaky finances, alcoholism,and a leader prone to endless self-examination,

self-analysis, introspection, anger, and frustration,and, finally, hallucinations.That leader is the author, Sprague Theobald, a film-

maker and globe-circling yachtsmanwho traces his boating roots to a 12-foot sailboat in Boothbay Harbor,Maine, on which his mother trickedhim into his first solo sail at agesix. Much later, in his late 50s —with a dream and with a splin-tered family of his own and a 57-foot Nordhavn diesel cruiser,Bagan — Theobald recallsthinking, with typical intensityand panic, as he sets out fromNewport, R.I., to find and nav-igate the Northwest Passage,“Have I brought us all to-gether to lead us to ourdeaths?”

That fear and self-doubt pervades

MEDIA/Resource s for c rui s er s

Author worried he’d led crew to their deaths


the book with an intensity that makes it as much apsychological thriller as maritime adventure. What isgoing on inside the heads of Theobald and the fivecrew, three of whom are his grown children, is as in-tense as what is going on outside.Theobald writes: “The audacity and seeming hubris

of undertaking such a project gained a loud and unre-lenting voice inside of me, one that I had to constantlystruggle with and try and keep in check, for had theothers gotten a whiff of these fears and insecurities, Ifelt it would be detrimental to keeping their own fearsat bay.”Well, if the crew couldn’t smell fear on that boat,

then there was something wrong with their noses, be-cause the air was thick with it. And who wouldn’t bescared? The odds of success, or of even living throughthe experience, were not at all good. First, there are the ghosts of countless failed expe-

ditions by explorers and adventurers trying to find away across the top of North America. The most notori-ous was the expedition by Brit John Franklin in 1845,whose two 120-foot ships, the Erebus and the Terror,vanished along with all 129 crew.It wasn’t until 1906 that explorer Roald Amundsen

finally pushed through, but only after three years oftrying. That didn’t exactly open up the floodgates ofcommerce through the Northwest Passage. Even big

tankers have had to be rescued by icebreakers.Who wouldn’t be sending out a few fear pheromones? There is danger everywhere, and the crew quickly

becomes hypersensitive to it. “Sprague, this is a badplace,” says Theobald’s stepdaughter, Dominique, atone point. “We shouldn’t be here.” Minutes later, theyfind out why.Still, Theobald believes he can shelter the crew from

the worst of those fears, and he becomes a very lonelyperson in the process. “Was I scared?” he asks himself.“I don’t know. None of these concerns were ever para-lyzing, but they loomed large mentally, and I felt itbest not to burden anyone around me.”Eventually, Theobald’s fear takes on the form of a

“thin but solid black line, just off to the side, in my pe-ripheral vision.” For the rest of the trip, the line re-mains, “a line not to get too close to, for if you did, andit suddenly chose to move in closer and I were to findout that I’d accidentally crossed it, there’d be no com-ing back to this side….”Theobald is a man pushed to extremes as he pursues

a dream turned nightmare. I don’t envy or even ad-mire him that much, but I appreciate his honesty, andI am thankful for a sea story well told.Andrew “Sandy” Marsters is co-founder of Points

YARDWORK/People and pro jec t s

Six traditionally built wooden boats took their maidenvoyage on June 22 at the Apprenticeshop in Rockland,Maine. This annual June launch marked graduation dayfor four of the apprentices enrolled in the school’s two-year wooden boatbuilding program, and culminates thework of the last six months for all students.Among the projects to be splashed were Lyric, an

Olympic 5.5 Meter. Originally donated to the school adecade ago, Lyric underwent a major restoration thiswinter. The school reintroduced the 31-foot sloop as itsflagship and plans to race her in several classic wooden-boat races this summer.

Also launched was the Perkins Island Lighthouse ten-der, a replication of a 15-foot Oliver Lyman rowing/sail-ing boat originally built in 1907 and kept in the collectionat the Maine Maritime Museum since 1971. This projectwas a collaboration between The Apprenticeshop andMaine Maritime Museum, in celebration of their concur-rent (40th/50th respectively) anniversaries. The boat isto be raffled off this summer.Three Susan skiffs, the standard first project for all

first-year and intensive students, hit the salt, as well asa 10-foot Herreshoff Columbia dinghy. FMI: www.ap-prenticeshop.org

Atlantic Boat Company, in Brooklin, Maine, reportsthat the newest Duffy 26 Launch slid down the waysin late June. Portland Yacht Club’s James M. Churchillwas delivered four weeks ahead of schedule. The U.S.Coast Guard increased the weight-per-person expec-tation for its certified passenger launches from 140 to185 pounds, effective in 2012. This reportedly hasmany yacht clubs and marinas facing a dramatic re-duction in passenger capacity. With this new ruling inmind, Atlantic Boat introduced the Duffy 26 Launch.An independent marine surveyor, an engineer, and theUSCG each performed stability tests to confirm the

passenger capacity and seaworthiness of the newlaunch. FMI: www.atlanticboat.com.

The Leight rests quietly under the shore of Round Island in Maine's Merchant Row, the operative word being “under.”

FETCHING ALONG/David Buckman

An island looming off the bow has been aprovocative metaphor for ages. It still is, evenfor the smallest of isles, because many of them

have suffered few indignities at Man’s hands, arepleasingly wild, and eminently worthy of our scrutiny,not merely a quick motoring-about-and-back-aboard-for-cocktails-thank you, but something more imagina-tive. Round Island, a swell of rock and spruce on the

north shore of Maine’s Merchant Row, is one of morethan a dozen sovereign realms of granite and greenerygathered in a loose knot between Isle au Haut andStonington, Maine. Described as a “reasonably goodanchorage” by one writer, this left so much unsaid thatwe mounted the first of many expeditions to make ofit what we could.For starters, it’s exposed to all winds, but for those

out of the southwest through the west, and even then,a fresh blow from that bent can curl through theteacup of a cove between Round and McGlathery Is-lands. The secret is to hug close under the lee, though

none of the three other boats in residence were. Skirt-ing the eight-12-foot contours, we found decent holdingbetween a doghead of sand and ledges making out ofthe southeast point to halfway up the east shore. (Ed-itors note: A “doghead” is a “David word” inferring aknob or gnarled finger of land projecting from the ad-jacent curve of shore.) Letting the anchor go closeaboard, only mere scurries of air ruffled the silky re-flections of spruce and sky a few boat lengths away. An inviting crescent of sandy beach, punctuated by

a scattering of boulders, was not to be denied, and soonwelcomed the dinghy with a sigh. Following a broadboulevard of granite northward, the views were com-manding, and it was easy walking till we arrived onthe west shore, where the “sidewalk” tilted precari-ously in places and we edged along smooth stone slabsholding onto tree branches. A few clusters of what, as kids, we called “pricker

bushes” yielded raspberries possessed of a tart, sweet-ness that lingered long on the tongue. Further along,we managed to gather a few mussels, which we stuffed

into a net bag. Consuming thefruit of such places is a commu-nion of sorts.A feint game path diverged

from shore, and we threaded ourway between spruce in all statesof being, from sprouts to ancientsrotting away in the duff, creatingthe stuff of new life. A few yardsalong a rusting bed frame and afew rotted boards testified to aformer habitation, as did a circleof rocks that might have been ashallow well. It was the stuff ofepic tales, man in the wild, manthe animal, man the island, heroicdesigns and grand dreams, if onlya moment in time. Back along the shoreway, an os-

prey soared, carving up the blue,then hovered, wings aquiver. Fold-ing its feathery foils close, itplunged into the watery depthsand emerged with a herring in itstalons, every bit as primal a mo-ment as anything on the wild sa-vannah. Song sparrows soughtout insects with great energy, fly-ing in erratic bursts, and swoop-ing so fast in pursuit of theirquarry we could hardly followthem. Other revelations were more

prosaic, such as the five a.m.wake-up call issued by the Ston-ington lobster fleet on its way to aday of hauling traps, cruisersdreams being of no matter what-soever to them, except on Sundaymornings in July and August —sometimes. We’ve called here for 40 years,

and are still peeling away the lay-ers. Discovery is as much art asact. It takes time, years…..forever,but it’s much more revealing to bea traveler than tourist.

New England f i sh ing repor t s

By Capt. Greg Metcalf For Points East

We have had a great month of weather and fishingreports inshore and offshore. All we can tell you is togo to your favorite spots and fish the tides. The beststriped bass reports are from local surfcasters cast-ing bait off Kennebunk and Camp Ellis Jetties. Capt Lou Tirado, of Diamond Pass Outfitters, and

the boys were catching stripers first thing in the morn-ing, just outside the channel, using top-water lures.They were small schoolies, and a few keepers, but allwere lots of fun to fight with light tackle and artificiallures. Jack Savasta has been in the Saco River live-lin-ing mackerel and has had great success. Stripers werea little shy with chunks on the ocean floor, but in be-tween fighting the green crabs, Justin Sheehan hadsome Luck at Higgins Beach. The Al Gag Whip-it Eel,Bill Hurley Arkansas Shad, and white five-inch

Shanka soft lures worked in the current all have beenworking well near the Goose Fair Brook area. Ben Dayhas had success fishing Biddeford Pool, using a StriperManiac, Bay Pollock-color wood plug. Pete Morse, on Teazer Charters, was on Tantas

Ledge and found a few cod, but in the 18- to 22-inchrange. Capt. Ron Littlefield put his clients on cod anda couple of haddock on Jeffreys Ledge. Fish thedeeper water coming off the ledges, and, so far, theteaser above a purple jig seems to work better thanthe jig alone. Signs of sharks are showing up from ground fishing

trips. Porbeagles are chasing the cod coming up fromthe bottom, and a few tuna fisherman are getting “bitoff” by a few blue sharks as the water temperaturesincrease. The bluefin tuna action started off great butslowed down a bit with some rough waters. We shouldstart to here a few positive tuna stories soon.

Stripers slow, steady; tuna, cod are erraticMaine

With water temperatures remaining in thehigh 60s and low 70s, the fishing continues to befabulous. A significant contributor to the fastfishing is the record-breaking amount of bait inthese waters. Due in great part to the 40 percent reduction

of the huge net boats scooping up tons of bunkeralong the Maryland shoreline, massive pods ofbunker have made it into the Long Island Sound.This is having a profound effect on fishing inLong Island Sound from as far west as ExecutionLighthouse at the New York City border all theway along the Connecticut shoreline to Rhode Is-land. As the saying goes, “Where there’s bait, there

are fish feeding on them,” and stripers andblues are loving every minute of it as they re-lentlessly gorge themselves. And every fisher-man in the area is loving it and taking fulladvantage. These adult bunker are also activelyspawning and their fry (aka peanut bunker) are

also turning on the fluke fishing as well. Not to be out-done, the porgy (scup) fishing is also in high gear, soif you want to hear your reel scream, now is the timeto pick one of more of these species and hit the beach,jetties and boats to get in on the action. Here are a fewsnapshots of how the action is playing out:

Blues:Alex Stein, a boat owner and fisherman fromthe Connecticut River, is finding action as far east ashis area as well. “I’m targeting blues at various stagesof the tide and haven’t been disappointed yet. The ac-tion is hot whether you’re throwing plugs, tins, buck-tails, or are jigging. The birds also make it easy to findthe smaller cocktail blues as they join forces to feed onthe bait fish as well”

Fluke: Hank Weiss, an avid fisherman and chartercaptain in Cos Cob, Conn., describes the fluke fishingas the best he’s seen in years. “The waters are teaming

with bait, and fluking along the north shore of Long Is-land from Mt, Sinai, Port Jefferson, Oyster Bay. LloydsNeck, and farther west to Matinecock as well as alongthe Greenwich, Conn., shoreline is simply phenomenal.”Lou Dell, who also actively fishes the New York/Con-necticut border, in and around Captain’s Harbor, alsotold me, “The fluke are feeding voraciously now. Driftfishing for fluke using bucktails tipped with TriggerXsoftbaits has me into some excellent fluke. They’re hit-ting hard and I’m having a blast.”

Stripers:Most fisherman have shifted to nighttimetrips when targeting stripers. Live-lining and chunk-ing with bunker in 30 to 60 feet of water is yielding de-cent-sized keeper stripers from 15 to 20 pounds, andseveral 30-plus-pounders have been raised as well.And you can count on some chopper blues to be in themix. The scene on the weekend nights is made even more

enjoyable with a mix of smaller boats as well as theparty boats, light up like Christmas trees, all gettinginto the action. Some sharpies are also still doing wellstriper fishing in the early morning hours by workingin and around the harbor. Snagging bunker before thesun rises, and before the boat traffic starts, are thekeys to success. The first few hours of light is the righttime to get into some sizable stripers feeding in theshallows and mouths of harbors before the sun getstoo high and the water temps start to climb.

Porgies: Chumming is a must to get the porgiesworked up into a feeding frenzy and to keep the actiongoing so bring along some frozen blocks of choppedclams. Anchor up near a rock pile or wreck, get thatclam slick going, and you’ll be handsomely rewardedwith some of these tasty fish. The bait of choice issandworms, although some “porgy pros” also swear byone-inch cubes of bunker as bait.

Without a doubt, the fishing is at its peak now, sowhether after blues, stripers, porgies or fluke, if youput in the time you’re sure to get into some action.With that said, if you’re planning on wetting a line, it’simportant to know and follow the fishing regulationswhich you can find on the homepage of my websitewww.nyctfishing.com at the link labeled “NY and CTRegulations.” Also, don’t forget that you’ll need to havea fishing license in both New York and Connecticut.For more information about how to get your license,visit the link labeled “Fishing News Flashes” on thehomepage.

Richard is headed to Binghamton University this fallto start his college education, where he’ll be majoringon environmental studies. On the fishing front, he’s fo-cused on landing, tagging, measuring, weighing andreleasing his 1,000th striped bass. He will have a reg-ular fishing column in Points East through the fall.

It’s almost a natural law: Whenever two or moreboats of similar size and design are going in thesame direction, it is a race — in the mind of at least

one of the skippers. And this July 27, when sailing ves-sels of various sizes, shapes and PHRF ratings, leftStonington, Conn., on the 332-mile course aroundNantucket Shoals heading for Boothbay Harbor,Maine, in the biennial The Corinthians Stonington toBoothbay Harbor Ocean Race, it was a US Sailing-sanctioned Category 2 race that echoed the famous“destination races” of the past and provided excite-ment and challenge for today’s yachtsmen and crews. The “Lobster Run,” as it was dubbed, is a true ocean

race here in New England waters, one that fulfills themission of the Gulf of Maine Ocean Racing Association(GMORA). The combination of the Marion-BermudaCruising Yacht Race and Marblehead to Halifax Racein odd years, and the Newport Bermuda and LobsterRun races in even years, provides the opportunity forserious testing of nautical skills every year in theNorth Atlantic.The Lobster Run is sponsored by The Corinthians, a

boating association that today includes over 500 mem-bers from Virginia to New England. Founded over 78 years ago by a group of yachting

enthusiasts, both boat owners and non-boat owners,The Corinthians describe themselves as “a uniquegroup of people who have an abiding interest and pas-sion in boats, sailing, and things nautical.” And boat races, always an important part of the

boating life in New England, meet that criteria. Withthe inclusion of the Lobster Run in their annual activ-ities, The Corinthians have added a”Destination Race”that appeals to increasing numbers of sailors everytwo years.The Lobster Run destination of Boothbay Harbor

has a long history of yacht racing, beginning in 1886with the Boothbay Yachting Association promotion ofthe Glorious 4th Grand Celebration. Eight entrieswere in that race, with the winning yacht receiving asilver pitcher as a trophy. Later that same summer, aseries of three races was held to compete for TheBoothbay Cup. This event was followed with festivitiesthat included visits by the U.S. Navy ship Tennessee,band concerts and dances.By 1895, the Boothbay Yachting Association had

morphed into the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club, andracing continued as a primary focus, while the clubalso welcomed visiting “yachtsmen, summer visitors,and those interested in marine sports.” The 1910

Isn’t this a hoot? Powerboats race around Squirrel Island in the 1920s, when 835 motorboats were registered in Booth-bay Harbor.

Tourists Handbook of Boothbay Harbor wrote that the“reputation among navigators that our harbor has ac-counts for its popularity. A well-organized yacht club –supporting free landings and an open clubhouse dur-ing the season’s much appreciated.”The next decade brought a new kind of visiting boat

to Boothbay when the Portland (Maine) Power BoatAssociation chose the harbor for its 1911 destinationcruise, with 12 boats arriving in June. This event cap-tured the attention of the Portland newspaper, whichnoted, “With the numerous flittings in and about of themotorboats, the scene of yachting activity is worth go-ing miles to witness. With their brilliantly lightedlanterns at night, there is a genuine maze which lightsup the entire harbor and makes this a never to be for-gotten sight.” Sailing yachts continued to aim forBoothbay as a destination; the Boston Yacht Club ar-rived in July that year after a run of 108 miles acrossthe Gulf of Maine.As the 1920s approached, American yachtsmen ex-

hibited a growing fascination with the internal-com-bustion engine, and the popularity of power boatsexploded. In 1919, over 835 motorboats were regis-tered in Boothbay Harbor. The 1925 motorboat racesinclude the Fisherman Race (for fishermen or lobster-men), the Bang-and-Go-Back Race (an out-and-backrace in which skippers were disqualified by alteringspeed once the race started), the Free for All Handicap(with staggered starting times which allowed the slow-est boat to actually beat the fastest boat), and a simpleSpeed Boat Race. The popularity of these races resulted in plans for

still more powerboat events in 1926, and the discon-tinuation of any sailing yacht races that summer, al-though Boothbay Harbor continued to be thedestination for cruises of a number of New Englandyacht clubs.It wasn’t long, however, before this trend changed.

Just a few years later, the “Boothbay Register” noted,“It seems to be generally conceived [sic] that the for-mer motorboat enthusiasts are now getting their funout of their automobiles.” By 1931, sailors broughtback sailboat competitions in Boothbay Harbor withthe beginning of the BHYC One Design Races. These

continue today on a weekly basis, along with theweekly J/22 races. Each race brought out an increasing number of

boats from the surrounding midcoast. At the sametime, the deepening Depression affected the powerboatracing scene: It was simply getting too expensive tobuy fuel needed to achieve winning speeds. The year1935 marked the end of BHYC-sponsored powerboatracing. The following year, the BHYC again hostedmany sailing yachtsmen on their summer Downeastcruises. With WWII, recreational boating activity de-clined markedly, although some small sailboat racingcontinued. Many area sailors readied their boats forwar work and spent many nights patrolling the watersof Midcoast Maine.As the nation prospered following the war, so did the

Downeast boating scene. Increasing numbers of sailorscame to realize that the Boothbay Harbor Region ishome to some of the best cruising grounds and racingvenues on the East Coast. Today, the BHYC hostsyacht clubs from all parts of New England, north andsouth, as they begin their summer cruises of Maine’s5,000-mile coastline. And for the racing yachtsmanand yachtswoman, BHYC sponsors competitions in-cluding the Gulf of Maine Ocean Racing Regatta, theCommodore’s Cup, the Around Southport Race, theMaine State Optimist Championships, and twice-weekly club races, open to members and nonmembers. For participants in this year’s Corinthian Lobster

Run, Boothbay Harbor and the BHYC were the perfectdestinations for relaxing after the race, as well as aharbor from which to begin a cruise north to explorethe fabled Maine coast, or head south to return home. And, upon leaving the harbor, remember a funda-

mental law of nature: When heading out, whether go-ing north or south, if there are two or more similarboats going in the same direction, it is going to be arace.

After 25-years of sailboats, Susan and husbandLarry went to an Eastbay 43 sedan powerboat, and af-ter a summer in Maine, they plan to go south toFlorida, the Keys, and maybe the Bahamas next winter.

This was yachting in the year 1916. We spot three gaff-sloops, a schooner and a motor launch.
