EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Marsh

Neither time nor tide. . .

Icalled a meeting with Publisher Joe to discuss thenext few issues. “Great,” said Joe. “You and Naomimeet Joanne and me at the

gundalow landing in Portsmouth.We’ll have our meeting on thewharf, then catch the 3 o’clock runout the Piscataqua and back.”Before Joe bought Points East in

2006, and moved the magazine’sheadquarters to Portsmouth,N.H., I’d never heard of a gun-dalow. When I first saw a gun-dalow tied up alongside a floatthere, at first glance I thought thebargelike vessel was a round-bowed, flat-bottomed, shoal-draftThames spritsail barge. The sprit-sail barges are those legendary 80-foot (give or take) coastal traders,crewed by the traditional “manand a boy,” that carried farm prod-ucts, hay, lumber and bricks andother building materials along theeast coast of England and the En-glish Channel in the 18th, 19th andearly 20th centuries. But the stout coasting vessel I’d spotted was instead a

round-bowed, flat-bottomed, shoal-draft gundalow thatcarried farm products, hay, lumber and bricks and otherbuilding materials along New Hampshire’s PiscataquaRiver, its numerous tributaries, and the surroundingcoastline. She was the Captain Edward H. Adams, builtunder the auspices of the Piscataqua Gundalow Projectin 1982 at Strawbery Banke to honor the skipper of theFanny M, the region’s last commercial gundalow. Joe and I dispensed with our meeting in less than 10

minutes, and, with our wives and a couple of dozen othermarine-history zealots, boarded the Piscataqua, a replicaof the Fanny M. She, too, was built at Strawbery Banke,in 2011, for The Gundalow Company, a nonprofit formedto purchase the gundalow I had seen in 2006. We werewelcomed aboard by Capt. Paul Pelletier and his graciouscrew, and by The Gundalow Company’s executive direc-tor Molly Bolster.Piscataqua left the wharf, heading out toward the river

mouth – under power, something no 18th- to 20th-centurygundalow had ever done. “From the 1700s into the 1900s,gundalows evolved into fully decked, flat-bottomed cargocarriers with a cabin and lateen sail that could be low-ered to ‘shoot’ under bridges,” the website (www.gun-dalow.org) told us. “The sail acted as an ‘auxiliary engine’

since gundalows depended on the tides to take them up-river on the rising tide and downriver on the falling tide.”

Piscataqua motored out beyondNew Castle, past NOAA’s newlyarrived 124-foot hydrographic-charting catamaran, the Ferdi-nand R. Hassler, which will sail outof the University of New Hamp-shire’s Judd Gregg Marine Re-search Complex. We turned around, raised the

sail (passengers hauling on thehalyard), and headed for the barnwith the flood tide, a fair wind, anda deliciously darkening sky thatportended rain. The “auxiliary engine” gave

Mother Nature a boost as acrewmember related the incrediblehistory of these function-specificcargo vessels, “ . . . the equivalentof today’s tractor-trailer rigs . . .they could navigate shallow rivers,carrying freight of up to 50 tons be-tween oceangoing schooners and

the growing towns of the Piscataqua region.” I contemplated a cargo ship that not only exploited the

tides to do its work over centuries, but depended uponthem to ply its trade, transporting supplies to villages atthe head of tidewater. And I thought of today’s mariners— recreational and commercial – who, despite cutting-edge boat designs and construction materials, and ever-more-sophisticated electronics, still pore overhttp://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov or the “Eldridge Tide andPilot Book” for favorable ebbs and floods and heights andstages of each for their pleasure and commerce. And I recalled a provocative line in William Faulkner’s

“Requiem for a Nun:” “The past is never dead. It’s noteven past.” I believe Faulkner was suggesting that indi-viduals’ pasts are ever-present, their life experiences for-ever engrained in their psyches, for all time a factor intheir thought processes and decision-making. But stand-ing on this replica, whose history spans that of the coun-try in which it worked, I thought of Faulkner’s sentiment,borrowed it, bent it a little, and came away with the sensethat our collective past, our history, also remains a partof our present. And it dawned on me that the inspired ef-forts of such enterprises as The Gundalow Companyprompt us to brush a few layers of dust from our souls toreveal our many close links to yesteryear.

Aboard the Piscataqua, passengers help raisethe sail and take the helm while sailing on someof the six estuaries of the Piscataqua River.

Points East September 2013

PE author is back home in TexasNauset, the traveling Nauset 28 (see “Crunching the

Fuel Numbers,” page 44), has reached Seabrook, Tex.(on Clear Lake, off Galveston Bay) after a rather tax-ing trip from Islamorada in the Florida Keys. Duringthe trip we had several periods of waiting on theweather, had to run west fast because of TropicalStorm Andrea, and the final bit, New Orleans toSeabrook, was completed on a truck. The boat was fine – the Mississippi wasn’t. We got

to New Orleans and found that all the rain in the Mid-west had caused the river to rise. At New Orleans, theMississippi was 10.5 feet above normal stage; 100miles upriver at Baton Rouge, it was up 26 feet, andthe Corps of Engineers was dumping water into theAtchafalaya to take the pressure off New Orleans. When the big river is up and running fast, the cur-

rent reaches eight or nine knots, and it is full of debris,cross eddies and whirlpools. Small pleasure craft haveno business out there. To get across, pleasure craft gothrough the Industrial Lock (east side) and then runfive miles upriver to the Harvey Lock. The Harvey Lock’s gate opens directly into the river

– there is no fore bay – and if the lock is busy and youhave to wait, there is nowhere to dock or tie-up, so youorbit out in the river. Then, as if high water wasn’tenough, the large Algiers Lock, through the levee onthe west bank, was closed, under repair (I think a

barge hit one of the gates), so all the commercial towswere forced to use the smaller, older, slower HarveyLock, and the wait time to get through the HarveyLock was 85 hours. The Corps and the commercial vessel captains really

did not want any pleasure craft mucking around. Thatmeant a truck or the long march out and around theLouisiana Delta; been there/done that/no-fun. I guessrelatively easy trucking could be called a smaller boatadvantage.Anyway, we now get to enjoy Hurricane Season on

the Gulf Coast. At least the boat is only 100 miles fromthe house and in a nice marina, and Gulf Coast ratesare cheap compared to the Northeast. Still, this timeof year I wish I was farther north – say north of CapeAnn. At the house today the forecast high is 106 de-grees. For this summer and Fall, your Gulf Coast cor-respondent,

Her nephew is on August coverI am the proud aunt of

Tim Jacobus who is one ofthe Apprenticeshop whale-boat crewmembers fea-tured on the cover of yourAugust 2013 issue (backrow on left, wearing strawhat). Not only is he dashingwith a neat smile, his per-sonality and heart are justas big. We have been kept up to

date with all of Tim’s pro-jects at the Appren-ticeshop, and this was the pinnacle project of his timethere. It is wonderful to see that the entire crew hasgotten such good press as they are the backs that theApprenticeshop can stand on.It was an exciting day when I saw my nephew and

the crew row into the harbor at Mystic on June 28 af-ter setting out on June 16. His mother, another auntand I were there to see it, and we were overwhelmed.It was a great accomplishment, and I hope the entirecrew does well in their futures. We know where theirwhaleboat will be – aboard the Charles W. Morgan –and we can visit it anytime we want.

Skinny on Jeff Bolster’s old MagicI was back for a few weeks (from cruising in the

Caribbean) and picked up a couple of issues of PointsEast and saw in the May issue a piece about yawlMagic (“Trials with the F-Word,” by Jeff Bolster). Iknew her original owner well; he commissioned her de-sign and sought out Paul Luke to build her. She was built for Herb and Allie Owen of Old Say-

brook, Conn., who were great friends of my parents. Asa youngster, I had the pleasure of racing on her, and,in fact, did my first “big-boat” sailboat race on her atthe age of 12. Herb was very involved with Off Sound-ings for many years, and I sailed with him numeroustimes in those events – on Magic and her successors,all named Magic. Herb and Allie found her too small for their purposes

and moved from the Luke boat to an Allied XL-42,then to a Hinckley SW50. Herb lost Allie many yearsago, and he sadly passed two years ago while residingin Forida.

She is a Waterlily want-to-be While my husband and I were introducing our prod-

uct, the WaveFront TillerClutch, at this year’s Wood-enboat Show in Mystic, Conn., I was pleased to

discover and read Points East. I was particularlydrawn to the story, “On Becoming a Waterlily” by Mar-ilyn Brigham (July 2013). That story hit home becauseI, too, am a not-so-skilled over-40 sailor who lets herhusband do most of the work (and occasionally getsyelled at). I love the idea of forming a club of other, more skilled

sailors of the same sex (namely Waterlilies) to help meand other women brush up on our sailing skills. Itwould boost my confidence and certainly make myhusband proud. I like this idea so much so that I in-tend to suggest it to my local marina in Oriental, N.C.,known as the sailing capital of the state. Thanks for opening my eyes to this fun and helpful

program. Maybe one day we will make it back to thearea by water, versus the road. And I’ll be at the helm.

New Mini-Boat fleet to set sail Educational Passages plans to launch multiple mini

boats simultaneously off Jamestown, Va.; theCaribbean; and either Portugal or the Azores this fallto represent the old trade triangle between Europe,the Caribbean, and thenew world. This will be avery hands-on, interna-tional learning experi-ence for people of all agesand walks of life. We use unmanned

mini-sailboats equippedwith GPS tracking de-vices to study ocean andwind patterns and muchmore. These five-footmini-boats need no out-side assistance, and willsail directly downwind month after month. Whenthese boats make landfall, they create lots of excite-ment, and everyone wants to add a message to the wa-tertight compartment and assist these little boats inany way they can. We collaborate with many organizations such as the

Maine Maritime Academy, NOAA, Harbor Pilot Asso-ciations, Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding, The Mid-CoastTechnical School, and many others to put on eventslike this. If any businesses or individuals would be in-terested in participating in any way, I’m sure we canfind a way for a joint sailing adventure such as this tobenefit all parties.

Call them eastern quahog skiffsThe picture of the “Narragansett Bay quahog skiff”

in Greg Coppa’s very interesting piece on the subject(“Behold the Traditional Narragansett Bay QuahogSkiff,” August) sure reminded me of the clammers’skiffs I grew up with on Shinnecock Bay, Long Island.I think the type was everywhere on the East Coastwhere hard shell clams were to be found. So I’m won-dering if, with all due respect to our friends in RhodeIsland, we shouldn’t just call them Eastern QuahogSkiffs?

A call to citizen-scientist sailorsI am a marine plankton scientist and the project

leader for the Secchi Disk project that aims to enlistsailors to become Citizen Scientists to help create thebiggest global study of the marine plankton, startingnow and carrying on forever. The project’s website iswww.secchidisk.org. I am writing to ask you to kindlywrite about the project in Points East to help us raiseawareness among sailors.Some brief background to the project: Two years ago

a group of Canadian marine scientists reported thatthe phytoplankton in the oceans had declined globallyby 40 percent since the 1950s due to climate change.Their study provoked controversy among marine sci-entists, however, as some thought they saw contraryresults. Part of the controversy stems from a lack of data

about the marine phytoplankton. This dearth of datais because the oceans are so vast and there aren’t thatmany scientists to cover them. Because of the impor-tant role played by the phytoplankton in underpinningthe whole marine food chain, we need to know if, howand why they are changing, and this is where we be-lieve citizen science can help. Seafarers are encouraged to take part in a unique

global study, using a mobile phone app to record theeffects of climate change. The public science projectwill measure the amount of phytoplankton, minute or-

ganisms at the very start of the marine food chain, cur-rently residing in the world’s oceans.The project is being spearheaded by Plymouth (Eng-

land) University’s Marine Institute, which hopes tobuild a map of the oceans that charts the seasonal andannual changes of phytoplankton from now and intothe future. Plankton biologist Dr Richard Kirby, whois leading the study, said: “As the phytoplankton liveat the surface of the sea, they are being affected by ris-ing sea temperatures due to climate change . . . . Sincethe phytoplankton begin the marine food chain, weneed to know more about if, how, and why they arechanging in order to understand the effects on theocean’s biology.”Because the phytoplankton – each thinner than a

strand of human hair – exist at the sea’s surface,mariners can carry out a simple experiment using aneasy to make “Secchi Disk.” Attached to a measuringtape, the Secchi Disk is lowered over the side of a boatand the depth at which it disappears from sight esti-mates the amount of phytoplankton in the sea. Thisdepth can then be uploaded to a database using theSecchi app.The free app is called Secchi after Father Pietro An-

gelo Secchi, an astronomer who invented the disk de-vice in 1865 to measure water turbidity in theMediterranean. You can find out more about the pro-ject at www.secchidisk.org.

CORRECTION“Outside” magazine has its “Woodshed” in which to

punish recalcitrant editors and proofreaders. PointsEast has “The Brig,” in which editor Nim Marsh brieflyresided for calling the wife of author David Stanwood“Betsy” in the introductory blurb of “Eleanora to theSea: Part 1,” in the August issue, instead of her givenname of Eleanor. The Stanwoods’ warm forgivenessbrought him an early release.

MYSTERY HARBOR/And the winner i s . . .

Jeff Krause, of Old Saybrook, Conn., is the winner of the August Mys-tery Harbor contest. “I was flipping through the August 2013 issue andfound this local marina featured in your Mystery Harbor column ,” hewrote. “It’s Ragged Rock Marina, located on Ferry Road in Old Say-brook.” Its coordinates are: 41/18/40 N, 72/21/34 W. One ‘resident re-ported: “It’s been a great place all winter long for a few years. . . one ofthe best-kept marinas in the area.”

It’s “one of the best-kept marinas in the area”



PerspectivesElsa, my boat’s namesake, was a remarkable woman.

My wife’s late mother was amazingly resilient, with alevel of fortitude rarely found. Like Elsa theboat, she could climb to windward unwaver-ingly in life, standing up to some serious ad-versity, rarely, if ever, complaining. She was, I believe, carried forward by an in-

ner core that I’m sure was passed downthrough her mother, Jessie Amalia, a pioneer-ing woman from Fargo, N.D., who, after beingmarried in 1903, lived alone year-round in asod hut in unpopulated Balfour, N.D., for fiveyears in order to meet the homesteading re-quirements for obtaining title to land. Hernew husband stayed 225 miles away in Fargoto build his fledgling seed company. I never believed this story until an old pho-

tograph was uncovered of Jessie in front of her sod hut.This young lady could handle more than a spoonful of

solitude, and I think that’s how my wife’s mother Elsacame to it. After Elsa’s husband of 61 years died, I asked

her if she minded being alone now. “Alone?” shereplied. “I’m never alone. I have the stars, thesky, the wind blowing through the corn fields,and my thoughts and memories to keep mecompany.” She smiled and gave that confidentlaugh of hers. “No, never lonely. I have solitude,but I’m never alone.”It occurred to me when I sailed to Maine

alone this year that I never got lonely. Lookingback, I realized I spoke only one word to oneperson in three days. (That word was “yes” inanswer to the caretaker on Star Island on theIsle of Shoals when he asked if I knew the rulesof the island.) For some time, I have been fascinated by the

relationship of solitude and the psyche. At age 17, I tookoff alone on a 23-foot sloop for 39 days and experienced

periods ranging from euphoria to de-spair. When the despair hit, I learnedto up-anchor and just go. That al-ways worked. The challenge of thenext leg, and the anticipation of thenext port, lifted the despair like in-tense sun on fog. Anne Morrow Lindbergh, who en-

dured her share of solitude, admittedit was hard. “And yet,” she said:“Once it is done, I find there is aquality of being alone that is incred-ibly precious. Life rushes back into

the void, richer, more vivid, fullerthan before.”I believe that solitude is one sure

way to find our authentic selves. Yetin this frantic, crowded, 24/7-con-nected world of ours, it takes a con-scious effort. In my case, making ithappen has often meant saying no tofriends who wanted to help me sailto Maine, and to my dear wife, whoworries about my missteps at seaalone. Yet, there’s true reward frombeing removed and totally alone for

limited periods. In the words ofRalph Waldo Emerson, “There arevoices which we hear in solitude, butthey grow faint and inaudible as weenter into the world.”One of the kings of solitude may

well be sailing adventurer and au-thor Alvah Simon, though I think hemay have overdone it. In 1994, hesailed with his wife to the Arctic tointentionally let his 36-foot steelsloop freeze in for the winter off Baf-fin Island, near Greenland, 100 milesfrom the nearest human. Shortly af-ter their arrival, his wife had to beflown out due to a family emergency.Except for a kitten named Halifax,he was now alone for the winter. There are two things the human

psyche can’t endure for extended pe-riods: deprivation of all light and allhumanity. For months in perpetualdarkness (zero hours of daylight) helived alone, frozen into the ice. Polarbears waited outside, committed toAlvah as their next meal. Mean-while, as drifting snow continuallyburied him from above, the ice packinexplicably began to pull his boatdown from below, down lower andlower, halfway to the rails. Then acabin heater leak poisoned him intosudden blindness. To make matters worse, during his

blind period he awoke in his bunk,frozen into a coffin of ice. A bad nightof condensation inside the hull hadsaturated his sleeping bag; an hourlater, when the heater stalled out,the entire bag had frozen solid to thebunk, with Alvah inside. After that,as you might imagine, his mind be-gan to unravel. Ultimately, he survived, but right

about then I think what Alvahneeded was less solitude and moreexperienced company. Maybe JessieAmalia, Elsa, Anne Lindbergh, andgood old Ralph Waldo, just to keepthings grounded.Dave Roper’s book, “Watching for

Mermaids,” which climbed to No. 4on the “Boston Globe” Best-SellersList, is available through www.ama-zon.com. His new book, “Cloud 23,”will be out later this year.

GUEST PERSPECTIVE/Herb Par sons

Look Ma, I now own a yacht!

In the April 2013 issue of Points East, I described therestoration of my 26-foot, gaff-rigged, Crowninshield-designed, Dark Harbor 17

knockabout, Shadow. She re-turned home this late July, re-built by Josh Howard’sNortheast Boat crew in North-port, Maine – especially by leadcarpenters Zachary Fowler andGreg Bauer. Her restoration is a tribute to

Maine boatbuilders’ well-earned reputation for crafts-manship. She came out of theshop with solid structural in-tegrity, gloss finishes and var-nish trim so resonant you couldshave in their reflection, plusnew, rust-free wire rigging hal-yards and sheets from LoricWeymouth, owner of Wey-mouth Yacht Rigging, Inc., amobile rigging company basedin Rockland, Maine. DidShadow look this sharp when first launched, perhaps asfar back as 1914?So I should start by describing my first sail aboard the

“new” Shadow by waxing poetic about gentle zephyrsand cat’s paws and mists of an early morning. Get real.Any rebuild of an old wooden boat starts with the wallet.And I feel I’ve done my bit for the Maine economy. Ex-pensive? Well, duh. In my smug little way, as an inveter-ately frugal New Englander, with my last 30 years as ayear-round Maine island resident, I’m expecting a cer-tificate of commendation from Maine’s Governor LePageany day now.And there is one, um, major problem with the rebuild.

Boats are often extensions of ourselves, and my old,scruffy but dearly beloved Shadow was clearly a reflec-tion of me. But after this winter’s facelift – okay, full bodylift – the boat has become so luxurious, so sleek, so so-phisticated – you know, 18 coats of varnish, etc – that Ithought, I can’t sail that thing. My beloved knockaboutis no longer just a sailboat. She has become a yacht. Imight scratch her. She might touch bottom. It’d be ashame to sail her. If I do, I’m gonna have to, you know, upscale my

wardrobe, get a proper haircut, and socks that match.Brush my teeth twice a day, floss, apply body moisturizer,trim my nails. Join a major yacht club, wear an embla-

zoned blue blazer with an emblazoned captain’s cap. Pur-chase a four-decker powerboat to be my mother-ship,

with canvas and plastic awnings toshield me from sun, wind and wa-ter. Hire a paid hand to ensure theupkeep of my modest little fleet. Youknow, become all those things I’vesneered at for so many decades.How many prejudices did I just

tap into; how many readers have Ialienated?Look, I try not to be a crank. But

when I read ads, for instance, forsailboats with air conditioning, afull complement of electronics,power winches, one head and ashower for every crewmember, Iverge on the disgruntled. As youmight have guessed, I grew up be-fore fiberglass had perhaps evenbeen invented. Back then, those ofus living along the Fox Islands Tho-rofare, between North Haven andVinalhaven islands, could identify

almost every cruising sailboat, sardine carrier, windjam-mer, and lobsterboat passing through, because each waswooden and, therefore, unique. And there were fewerboats. Nowadays that’s all shot to hell. Well, along with a lot

of other stuff. Don’t get me started.Yes, dear, I know these generalizations are unfair and

uncalled for. But I was lucky enough to have experienced,for instance, racing small wooden sailboats and crewingon big wooden sailboats – yes, real yachts – racing in theearly ’60s just about when electronics began to take overso much of seat-of-the-pants, eyeball sailing. So reactingto wind shifts, wave action, and sail trim relied entirelyon human sensitivity and skill.The knockabout is all about seat-of-the-pants and eye-

balls and paying attention because of her sensitive helm,her shallow cockpit sitting you at sea level, the hum andgurgle of the ocean as you slice through it. But now thatI, too, own a yacht, must I retire from sailing and justshuffle and mumble off into the sunset? Oh, pshaw.Herb, a professional artist and retired art teacher, ran

Calderwood Hall, a gallery and gift shop on North HavenIsland for 29 summers. A lifelong sailor, Herb worked asa paid hand on the 56-foot sloop, Caper, and served brieflyas pilot/guide to the Maine coast for Walter Cronkite andhis family.

Theories abound as to why some sailors choose to goit alone, eschewing the warmth of human company asthey venture forth on the waters. Seri-ous misanthropy is often suspected, or asimple lack of friends or mates, but,more often than not, I think it is reallyonly the desire for complete freedom.This quest for freedom usually in-

cludes a desire to be as free as possiblefrom the recurring drudgery of dailytasks – like cooking and cleaning up af-terwards. Our singlehander is willing todo the necessary to eat reasonably well,but strives to keep the whole processsimple. He would rather have a glass ofwine after dinner than do the dishes.Managing this can become an art and asport in itself.Let’s start with provisioning. While al-

most anything tastes good after a strenuous day on thewater, fresh or frozen foods are definitely preferable to

the stuff that comes in cans or plastic boxes. An effi-cient system is required to provide a steady supply of

these better victuals on a regular basis.Let’s say we are going for a cruise

among the islands of the Maine coast fora week or so. We are not going to visittowns or stores, so, if we want to avoid adiet of corned-beef hash and bakedbeans, a small but acceptable amount ofplanning and preparation are necessary.At the heart of our strategy will be a

large cooler of the type advertised tokeep ice for five days in 95-degreeweather. This claim may be exaggerated,but, properly managed, these coolers willdefinitely keep ice for considerably morethan five days when located out of thesun and somewhere near the cool bilgesof a boat in New England waters.

First to enter our cooler will be the ice, two- or three-

gallon plastic jugs nearly full of frozen water (allowsome room for expansion). Ice made in jugs will notflood the cooler as it melts, and the continued presenceof very cold water around the remaining ice inhibitsthe thawing process. Next on this lowest level will be the frozen ingredi-

ents for a meal planned for the last day of our voyage– a half a bag of frozen peas, let’s say, and some frozen,boiled potatoes ready to make home fries whenthawed, and a couple of nice frozen fillets of haddock.Next comes a layer, many sheets thick, of newspaper.

This protective layer will not be disturbed again untilit is time to prepare that meal. Frozen ingredients foreach preceding meal are then layered above the first,each separated by an insulating layer of newspaper.The coldest layer will be down at the bottom with theice, and as we go upwards, each layer will be just a lit-tle less cold. Thus the highest layer (first meal) willthaw first, becoming ready to cook, and so on as we un-cover new layers each day, much in the manner of anarcheological dig.In contrast, a randomly stocked cooler will not func-

tion adequately because the contents will be continu-ally exposed to warm air while one rummages fordesired items with the lid open. It is important, by theway, to keep the cooler mostly full, so add more news-paper, sail bags, or even some of the less offensive

items from your laundry, as successive layers comeout. Using our system, it may actually occur that things

do not thaw fast enough. So check your upcomingevening’s meal each morning, and transfer it to thebilge if it is still frozen hard. There it will gently thawby dinnertime.Not everything we eat need come from the cooler.

Bags of fresh spinach, for example, will last quite wellif simply kept in the bilge. Ditto for onions, tomatoes,eggs, butter, mayonnaise, mustard and so forth. Bread,pasta and donuts will keep well almost anywhere. We have not mentioned, but also use, food items that

can be obtained from our surroundings. Fish, particu-larly mackerel, are often easy to catch, and musselsare frequently available for the taking (be sure tocheck for any red-tide alerts in your area). Most lob-stermen are willing to sell some of their catch right offthe boat, frequently at wholesale prices. There’s anoyster farm along one of my cruising routes, and Inever go by there without adding a sack full of thoseambrosial mollusks to my larder. I keep a clam hoe onboard, too, but, sadly, opportunities to use it are everfewer.We’re ready to start cooking now, and here’s where

the art of simplification really comes in. Let’s say weare going to have a meal of steak, pasta and fresh

spinach. How do we keep quality high and work to aminimum from start to finish? Take a large stainless pot two-thirds full of seawater,

bring to a boil, and add a fistful of angel hair (cooksfaster than regular spaghetti, so saves fuel). When thepasta is half-done, add fresh spinach to the pot. Whenthe pasta is ready, the spinach will be also. When dis-cussing such economies, F.B. Cooke, the early- 20th-cen-tury British boating writer, mentioned making coffeefrom water that had just been used to boil eggs, butI’m inclined to think you have to draw the line some-where.Drain the cooked contents of the pot into a colander

held over the side, then add them to the frying pan inwhich your steak has been frying in olive oil on theother burner. Swirl the pasta and spinach in the meatjuices and oil, and season to taste (you won’t needsalt). Eat from the frying pan. The pot is already cleanand ready to heat water for coffee in the morning, andthe frying pan and utensils will be easy to wipe offwith paper towels after they have soaked in seawaterovernight.If you want bread, or something else, along with the

meal, use of a plastic-coated paper plate is permissible.I had one paper plate, used in this auxiliary capacity,that lasted for three years of extensive cruising. I onlyhad to part with it after I made the mistake of slicingonions on it. The knife blade penetrated the plastic,

and mold eventually got into those cuts. I had becomequite fond of my plate, and enjoyed speculating on howfar into the future we could go together (an item forthe Guinness Book of Records?), so was really sorry tosay good-bye. Breakfast will be black coffee and blueberry donuts,

or a mouthwatering kind of semi-sweet oatmeal cookiemy wife knows how to make; and lunch might be skin-less and boneless sardines on bread, with mayonnaiseand sliced tomatoes (the paper plate comes into playhere). Finally, it should be noted that while fresher foods

are always preferred, no well-found vessel leaves hermooring without a backup supply of certain old fa-vorites of the canned or, possibly, the freeze-dried va-riety. Dinty Moore, Chef Boyardee and others can allstep in and provide an acceptable, or even a memo-rable, meal on occasion, and Newman’s Own MangoSalsa has added zest to many a seaborne repast.Someday I may write about the wonders of the Spam-burger with Vermont cheddar cheese, Vidalia onion,and Louisiana hot sauce, but that is another story.

After a nearly five-year restorationin the Henry B. duPont PreservationShipyard at Mystic Seaport, in Mys-tic, Conn., the 1841 whaleshipCharles W. Morgan was launchedJuly 21. The ship – a National His-toric Landmark and America’s oldestcommercial vessel – was lowered intothe Mystic River to float on her ownbottom for the first time since 2008.The ship was christened by Sarah

Bullard, the great-great-great grand-daughter of Charles Waln Morgan,one of the original owners of the shipand the man after which she wasnamed. The bottle Bullard brokeacross the bow was filled with watersfrom the oceans over which the ves-sel sailed during her 80-year whalingcareer. Samples were gathered fromthe North and South Atlantic, the Pa-cific, and Indian oceans. Water fromNew Bedford, Mass., and Mysticwere added to represent her originaland current homeports.“This launch is a milestone in the

life of this great ship,” said SteveWhite, president of Mystic Seaport.“Today she turns 172 years old, andwe hope this restoration will helppreserve her for another 172, so thatfuture generations will be able towalk her decks and hear her tell theimportant story of our nation’sshared maritime heritage.” The focus of the refit was to ad-

With the kayaks nested to one side of the cock-pit, and with plenty of food and drink and aScrabble set, Vicki and I took off from Mere-

point, in Brunswick, aboard Whimbrel on a Saturdaynoon under sunny skies heading toward Whaleboat Is-land, and beyond. A fog bank soon greeted us down thebay; but no matter, we had an old computer-chart plot-ter hooked to the GPS, and now was the time to use

“Let’s not take a dinghy, just thetwo kayaks,” I suggested as mydaughter and I were provision-ing my Coastal 27 powerboat,Whimbrel, for a five-day cruisefrom Brunswick, Maine, to . . .wherever.

’60s, before all the wonderful electronics, and we re-spect, but do not fear, fog. (OK, Vicki was only 4 wayback then, but she was cruising with us.) Cutting

through Potts Harbor and Jaquish, we made our waynorth and east along Harpswell to Quahog Bay, wherethe sun marvelously reappeared.What a lovely spot! Quite a few boats were moored

and at anchor, but there was plenty of room for all. In

As we returned toWhimbrel, an eagle flew over,raising further outcries fromthe osprey. The full moon roseover the treetops as mother anddaughter finished a cocktailScrabble game and ate supper. Sunday dawned clear, and I

realized that the tide was com-ing in, and was perfect for a tripup the Kennebec River. Twelvemiles later, we were off PophamBeach, and going on up theriver, with the tide giving us atwo-plus-knot boost to Bath. Wehad a moment of consternation when we faced the rail-road bridge in the down position, but we decided wecould go under a span to the east. That worked, andwe continued to the Kennebec Tavern, where we

docked and enjoyed lunch under the awning while thetide turned. Sailors beware! The railroad bridge requires at least

two hours notice before opening – sometimes longer,

Mother’s and daughter’s kayaks were neatly nested in one side of the cockpit as theCoastal 27 motored from one destination to the next.

and no mast would make it under the easterly spans. The fearsome Sasanoa River, with its Upper and

Lower Hell Gates, was almost benign as we sped downon the newly turned tide, coming into Hockamock Bayand down to Ebenecook Harbor on Southport Island.The anchorage provided a nice lee from the now south-west wind, and offered several coves and rocks to ex-plore. The harbor is quite heavily built up, but wecould have gone ashore at the marina if we hadwanted to. Again, ospreys were our neighbors, includ-ing one that perched on a nearby sailboat mast andmade a swift and successful dive into a school of fish. It was a lovely Monday morning, and we motored out

the Sheepscot River to Damariscove Island, a conser-vation area and park. I was happy to see that thelarge, old Coast Guard Station is now a private homeand is in good repair. We took a mooring, kayaked to

the dock and took a nice, long walk around the pondto the north, stopping to eat blackberries and to ob-serve the luxuriant patches of poison ivy, easilyavoided. The path wandered onto the rocky shoreline in

places, and also led to the foot of an old tower, fromwhich you could see all around, with maps identifyingthe visible land. Nearby Boothbay Harbor beckoned,with the promise of hot showers, so we moved on andwere able to get a mooring at the Tugboat Marina. Af-ter showers and a walk, we had supper aboard, thenwent ashore for ice cream, coming back by kayak inthe dark, while the moon rose behind the lovelylighted church across the harbor. Tuesday promised to turn wet and windy, so Vicki

and I took an early kayak trip to the western part ofthe harbor, admiring the numerous boats, and circum-

navigating the wrecked boat – or isit an old wharf? – in Mill Cove. Wegot back to Whimbrel as the rainbegan and decided to move on. Oneof the pleasures of a motorboat isbeing under cover when you travel! Just out of the harbor we heard a

splash, and not 10 feet away was astartled and half-submerged os-prey, wings splayed and wonderinghow he could possibly take off withus right in front of him. We movedout of the way, and he managed torise and fly off, clutching the fish hehad caught. Dark clouds greeted us as we

turned west, bringing some wind,rain and fog, which required use ofour GPS. We rounded Small Point,expecting a bumpy ride up the bay,but were pleasantly surprised tofind the current slack and the seasvery manageable. We threaded our way through the

narrow entrance and into TheBasin off the New Meadows River,where we picked up a mooring, andlo, the weather cleared. Most of theland surrounding The Basin wasrecently given to the Nature Con-servancy by a most generouslandowner, and the tranquil en-closed bay is still very much as itwas 50 years ago, though miracu-lously with fewer mosquitoes! Now it was time for a walk, so in

went the kayaks, and we paddledashore to the north, near ruggedcliffs. An old path led up hillthrough a lovely forest with fernsand mushrooms, two pools in deepcrevasses, mica-laden rocks andgranite ledges, and an occasionalblueberry bush. When we returnedto shore the wind was up, and wehad a serious paddle back to Whim-brel. Wednesday morning we kayaked

around the small island in TheBasin, spying a pair of ospreys anda kingfisher that swooped busilyabout. Landing on a small beach

near the boat, we took a new path, which meanderedto the south, through nice woods, across a tiny streamat the head of the bay, and ending at a road. Return-ing to Whimbrel, we motored out, turned west, andwent back up through Jaquish and on to Jewell Is-land, where we finally had to put down an anchor. Friends came in to camp ashore, and we had a brief

visit from three hardy teenage swimmers. Havinghad plenty of morning exercise, we opted to stayaboard, continuing our Scrabble contest (about eightgames so far, pretty evenly matched) and cooking afinal meal. The day’s blustery west wind subsidedand it was a quiet night.We rose early Thursday and went ashore to wade

about in the Punchbowl at low tide before headingback home to Merepoint. It had been a grand time forboth mother and daughter. Vicki and I share a loveof nature, boating and the sea (also Scrabble and icecream), and our time together provided it all. It wasa very special trip.

In 1970, Judy and her late husband Brad and theirfour children, ages 6 to 14, cruised a 30-foot sailboat,Whimbrel 2, up to the Bras d’Or Lakes and back. In1983, Judy and Brad sailed up to and along the southcoast of Newfoundland in their Alberg 37, Whimbrel5. They spent nine winters aboard her in the Ba-hamas, and in 1995 they cruised to Labrador andback. They returned to Newfoundland in 1996. In2000-2001, they drove the latest Whimbrel, built byPearson Yachts in 1987, down the ICW and over to theBahamas, where they wintered. “When Brad died in2005,” Judy says, “I kept the boat and have used herextensively since.”

We paddled noiselessly around small islands and emergingrocks, in harmony with ospreys, kingfishers, egrets, andthis great blue heron.

To Maine, then home:When we left David and hispregnant wife Eleanor in the August issue, they hadsailed their 23-foot sloop from Martha’s Vineyard toProvincetown, and were bound offshore for pointsnorth. The bold voyage of the Eleanora continues.

We settled in for a long day’s sail streamingalong at a good clip, and soon we were overthe Stellwagen bank, a place rich in wildlife

and fish. I was down below resting and sleeping – easyto do on a boat rolling and rocking gently. After a whileI could see Eleanor straining to see something ahead.“I think I see a spout,” she hollered. I got up, poked my head out of the companionway,

and peered ahead into the haze. Sure enough, I sawspouts and then the dark color of whale backs archingout of the water. They were dead ahead, and we heldto our course. As we closed in on the pod we realizedthere was quite a bunch of all sizes, many very large. They were humpbacks, and they were feeding. Some

were blowing bubbles, then thrashing about, coming

up and out of the deep trappingclouds of krill in their cavernousmouths straining with baleen. They were all around us. Then a

very large whale seemed to be on acollision course, approaching our littleboat from the starboard side. I heldmy course and watched. As we cameclose, the whale turned its head down,arched its back, and went under us inthe finest, most relaxed way. We could feel that they were well

aware of our presence and we felt safeamong them. The hull of our boat hasa distinct whale-like shape, and withno motor, they were comfortable withour intrusion as we sailed through.They showed us their tails and flip-pers, and one eyeballed us curiously. We left the whales far behind on

our downwind trail, and as I gazedback into the wind and haze, I spied adark, oblong object rising out of thesea, then a flash of white spray. I hadseen a whale breaching. We made good speed, and soon we

were in Massachusetts Bay, withBoston on our port beam. The hazebegan to clear, revealing the tops ofskyscrapers. We listened to the newson the radio, and a powerful thunder-storm was forecast, with possible tor-nadoes working across the Bostonarea toward the east. Soon we couldsee the dark and dangerous cloudsworking up toward Marblehead andacross Cape Ann, which was now inview. We witnessed huge bolts of light-

ning and much rumbling of thunderand a large anvil cloud forming. Itsoon became clear that the stormwould pass well in front of us, but wehad front-row seats as it roiled overGloucester and eastward off to sea asthe sun fell. With the storms passing, the wind

now turned against us and freshened,and we downed the genoa and hankedon the working jib. Then we lit thekerosene running lights and beat pastthe tip of Cape Ann.

tied up to a float at the head of the harbor. The next day we could see we had arrived in the

land of bedrock. No sandy spits or dunes around here.Space was so much at a premium in this harbor oasisthat boats moored with bow and stern tackle to holdthem in tighter positions. We spent several days in thisscenic resort town, exploring in the beautiful Septem-ber light.We departed Rockport and headed around Cape Ann

with a light and fair wind. A fine sunny day to pass byplaces such as Rockport Granite Co., Pidgeon Cove,Pidgeon Hill, Pidgeon Rock, Hoop Pole Cove, HalibutPoint and Folly Cove. Late in the day, we tried for theEssex River, a sinuous snake of a channel and folly toattempt with night falling. It was hard to imagine thatmany a great Gloucester fishing schooner was built upthis serpentine river, to be floated out on moon tides.Today the wind was too light, and the tide turnedagainst us, so we tacked back toward the Annisquam

River. The tide was just coming out against us, but we had

a light wind with us, and eventually we prevailed andgot in through the channel to Lobster Cove. Wegrabbed a mooring, and the next morning paddled intothe Annisquam Yacht Club, where, for a small fee, wehad hot showers. My Stanwood ancestors settled herein the late 1600s, and in those ancient days ownedmost of the land up Lobster Cove.Next we worked up the coast away from the rocks of

Cape Ann, gazing along the sandy dunes of Crane’sBeach and Plum Island. We made the entrance to theMerrimac River by late afternoon and rode the floodtide into the river, all the way up to Newburyport. This is a place where all the rivers and streams from

New Hampshire empty into an ocean conduit. Eleanoronce found a piece of birchwood on a Vineyard beach,gnawed to points on either end by a beaver. I had al-ways imagined that piece of wood had drifted from the

interior, down this river, and out to sea to wash up ona far-flung beach. We tied up to next to the city on pub-lic floats along the river, and found a wonderful river-side restaurant by following wandering whiffs of garlicin the air. In a strong ebb tide we fairly rocketed out of the

place and burst out into the ocean, heading up thecoast and offshore to the Isles of Shoals. We werehappy not to anchor in this rocky outpost, and grate-fully picked up a mooring in between Star Island andSmuttynose Island. We were well protected by the sur-rounding islands, which was a good thing because anor’easter was coming the next day. We read an ac-count of the murder of two young women in 1873 onAppledore Island, just north of us in the rockyarchipelago, and dreamed of times here past.We woke to an overcast day with wind blowing 30

knots out of the northeast. The rain held off, so weheaded into Portsmouth, about six miles away on a

broad reach. Eleanor took the helm for the crossing.The ocean waves were large and wide, and it wasthrilling. For the first time, we experienced such a seatogether, and we felt at ease in our sturdy little vessel. Into busy Portsmouth we sailed, past the Navy base

with its submarines and thermonuclear tipped mis-siles visible. We tied up to a dock along the big liftbridge on the south side of the channel. This bridgewas built by my great-grandfather, Frederick Snare.The river current was a little tricky, and we hung aspreader on a high piling, but got in OK. We spent sev-eral days in this fascinating little city.When we were ready to leave, there was no wind,

and we waited all morning to depart. Finally a whisperof a breeze came into the river, and we pushed off intothe stream with a light flood tide against us. Then, tomy horror, the wind gave up completely. We were in mid-channel and drifting into the bridge,

a hundred yards distant, but the bridge was up, and

We were in mid-channel and drifting into the bridge, a hundred yardsdistant, but the bridge was up, and we drifted through the opening.Once through, we paddled and clawed our way to a float, and, withgreat relief, tied up on the Kittery side. We had made it to Maine.

we drifted through the opening. Once through, we pad-dled and clawed our way to a float, and, with great re-lief, tied up on the Kittery side. We had made it toMaine. We were just coming down off our adrenaline rush

when I saw a lady coming down the path toward usfrom her house. She figuratively had a rolling-pin inher hand and intended to use it on us. “This is a pri-vate dock! I’m sick of you people, blah blah blah,” sheranted. “We have a right to take refuge for our safety,” I ex-

plained. “We have no motor,” to which the responsewas more yelling: “Blah blahh, I’ll call the police, blahblah.” I finally lost my patience and blared, “Go aheadand call the police!” She shut right up and hurriedback to her house to make the call. We pushed off tofriendlier places.We paddled down-current to a marina dock and we

tied up to a large barge that had a house on it withflower beds. A man came along, and we told him ourstory. When I said my name, he responded with de-light, “David, I’m Charlie Patten.” Charlie was a friendof old, from our Cape Cod summer-vacation days inWest Falmouth. Charlie was running the boatyard,raising a family, and making good money doing ma-chining work for the nuclear power plant nearby.The next day, we borrowed their peapod and rowed

up the Piscataqua River on the flood tide, to return on

the ebb, about 10 miles. We rowed under huge tankersand freighters and high bridges, then under autobridges and train bridges, eventually arriving at GreatBay. We picnicked and rested on Goat Island until thetide changed, then made our way back to Kittery – aprecious day’s adventure. Eventually, we sailed Eleanora out into the open

ocean, bound northward to Kennebunkport. It was latein the day, but the wind was fair and strong from thesouth, and we had a chance to get in by dusk. We gothalfway, and the wind came around from the northand started to blow. We took a long port tack, thenwent over onto a starboard tack. Eleanor came up ondeck, looked at the mast, and said, “Should it be doingthat?” I looked up and saw that the leeward spreader was

disconnected from the mast and was dangling from theshroud. Apparently it had been damaged when itcaught on the piling coming into Portsmouth. We hadno choice but to bear off and stay on a starboard tackor the mast would surely break. We took refuge in the lee of Cape Neddick, the only

protruding neck of land on that part of the coast. Wewere anchored on an open roadstead, with very littleprotection off a long stretch of beach. I knew it was along sloping bottom and we had to be careful not todrop in too close or we’d find ourselves in the surfwhen the tide ebbed.


In the morning, as I lay in my bunk, I could feel themotion of the boat as the tide went out farther and far-ther and the swells got steeper and steeper in the shal-lowing water. Finally, I said: “Time to go,” and wesailed around into York harbor in a light breeze. With the light wind and swift in-

coming tide, we managed to tie upat the yacht-club dock. There wasno one around. We spent severaldays hanging around, walking thecliff walk, and fixing the spreader.We pumped up our inflatable andpaddled inland on the York Riverwith the flood tide, taking theright-fork estuary after passingunder Route 95, and snakingaround tall reeds like Moses. Wegot all the way up into farm coun-try and headed back on the ebb.It was time to turn south toward

home, and the best part of sailingsouth from Maine in September isthat storms are more frequent, and when they comethrough they bring strong northerly winds, which areperfect for sailing “down” home with a followingbreeze. Our first run back took us all the way from York,

around Cape Ann, and into Manchester-by-the-Sea, a

run of 40-odd miles. Coming in by the twin light-houses off Thacher Island, we saw a large finbackwhale. Manchester-by-the-Sea is a perfect place towait out bad weather, and this we did as another evenstronger storm was moving in. It blew a strong gale

for two days, and we hunkereddown in our cabin to wait out thehard rain and wind.Finally the weather cleared, and

we listened to the weather reportsfor wind speeds along the coast.When the northwest wind droppedto a mere 30 knots, we headed outthe harbor. It was a Saturday, and many

weekenders were out and about.As we sailed out the harbor, a lineof boats was coming in. As eachone passed us, the crews wouldlook as if they had seen a ghost.One waved us off, yelling, “Don’t goout there,” and motioning toward

the harbor entrance. When we turned the corner, wecould see why. Off this coast are many rocky islandsand ledges. The storm had brought in great oceanswells and the sea was dotted with breakers every-where. Even in depths that normally don’t break therewere breakers.

Don’t get left at the dock.Climb aboard.

This reminded me of the “Milky

Way” that Joshua Slocum wroteabout in his book “Sailing AloneAround the World.” He had suc-cessfully navigated the MagellanStrait into the Pacific Ocean, onlyto be blown back around CapeHorn in a fierce storm: “It was daylight, and the sloop

was in the midst of the Milky Wayof the sea, which is northwest ofCape Horn, and it was the whitebreakers of a huge sea oversunken rocks which had threat-ened to engulf her through thenight. It was Fury Island I hadsighted and steered for, and whata panorama was before me nowand all around! It was not the timeto complain of a broken skin. “What could I do but fill away

among the breakers and find achannel between them, now that itwas day? Since she had escapedthe rocks through the night, surelyshe would find her way by day-light. This was the greatest sea ad-venture of my life. God knows howmy vessel escaped ... The greatnaturalist Darwin looked over thisseascape from the deck of the Bea-gle, and wrote in his journal, ‘Anylandsman seeing the Milky Waywould have nightmares for aweek.’” Well, the sight before us was in-

credible. Huge surf seemingly ev-erywhere. I studied the chartcarefully, and there was a deepchannel in behind Bakers Islandcalled Eagle Island Channel. Iwatched this place in the ocean-scape before us for a long whileand saw no breakers in the chan-nel, so we decided it was safe torun the gauntlet. It was very excit-ing – just the sound alone wasawesome. I remember thinking,with such big surf so close at handthis is not the time for a riggingfailure.”We threaded the needle and

soon found ourselves safely out tosea. The swells were so large that,when in the troughs, we couldn’tsee the land – like being in a hole

in the water. It was thrilling, andthese conditions were with us fora better part of the day.We were off Minot’s Light, off

Cohasset, Mass., when Eleanorcame up the companionway. A lookof horror on her jaw-dropped faceshocked me. I wheeled around seethe huge bow and fore section ofan empty coastal tanker ridinghigh up over a huge swell veryclose behind us. Most of the shipseemed to hang in the air at a wildangle; then it crashed down like abreeching submarine and boreaway past us. We were both headed for the en-

trance to the Cape Cod Canal. Wemade 50 miles that day and tiedup in the Harbor of Refuge, thatman-made harbor by the canalpower plant we had visited amonth earlier. The next day the wind was still

fair out of the north, and the tidewas ebbing strong, so we sailedonce again into the Cape CodCanal, and this time we took downour jib, which motoring vessels of-ten do. A patrol boat passed us onthe far side of the canal and as-sumed, with our lone mainsail up,that we were under power. It wasjust too easy: a fair tide, a fairwind, a fine boat and a happycrew.

One afternoon last summer four of us – two in thepost-sail stage of their boating life and two stillhanging on to their laundry – were enjoying a

brew, and the topic of conversation turned to fuel use whilecruising. Fuel use is almost as good a discussion generatoras anchors or holding tanks. Later, when Betty and I had completed our Hyannis,

the house, I started going through our pile of cruising logslooking for comparable cruises on our various boats. I keepdetailed, maybe obsessive, logs. They tend to be combina-tions of logbook, journal and scrapbook. In addition to theusual daily from-to, weather, maintenance, and eventsnotes, each diesel purchase is recorded in detail: date, gal-lons, cost per gallon, total cost, tachometer hour-meterreading, where purchased, and any off-the-wall comments.Eventually, I found seven comparable cruise segments

that were long enough to be relevant. Unfortunately, nonewere in New England. All seven were straightforward,down-the-ditch (the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway) fallcruises south to Miami, with no long side trips. Since I waslooking at fuel consumption, I tried to use a common refu-eling stop as the origin point of each cruise, rather thanan arbitrary point like Atlantic ICW Mile Mark 0 in Nor-folk. So, tanks full, five cruises began in Solomons, Md.,

Dates and days under wayMost southbound cruisers reach Norfolk and start down

the ICW between mid-October and early November. Thisis partly a result of insurance company restrictions thatare placed on most cruisers because of the insurance in-dustry’s current perception of hurricane-season risks. Most policies contain clauses stipulating that you can’t

be south of here before, and south of there until . . . etc.,etc. “Here,” “before,” “there” and “until” varying from com-pany to company, year to year. But it is also because ofgood fall cruising on the Chesapeake and the AnnapolisBoat Shows and their related social scene: the SSCA

GAM, Trawler Fest, Cruisers University, and the like. By that time of year in southern Virginia and the Car-

olinas, the days are short and the autumn cold fronts havestarted, so the weather is often less than ideal. In addition,the geography of the ICW – the spacing of neat places andgood anchorages – favors short travel days. For example,from Oriental, N.C. (ICW Mile 182), to the Beaufort (N.C.)Docks Marina (Mile 204) is just 22 miles.The inside trip south, on the Atlantic ICW, whether sail-

boat or powerboat, is a motor trip. If the wind is favorablemost sailboats will pull out a furling jib, but the motor gen-erally stays on and in gear. Weather permitting, some wa-terway cruisers, sail and power, will do a leg or two on theoutside – more often northbound in the spring, when theweather is good, than southbound in the fall, when it fre-quently is not. All seven of the listed cruises were south-bound fall cruises, and we stayed inside on the ICW.A professional cartographer, Bill’s lifelong infatuation

with the sea, ships and boats began in 1961 when, at 17,he went to sea on a square-rigged Norwegian school ship.He met Betty – an aerospace engineer, mathematician, pilotand experienced sailor – in a sailing club in Annapolis in1993. A year later, they left the Chesapeake on what wassupposed to be a one-year, round-trip cruise, south to theFlorida Keys, over to the Bahamas and back to the bay.They never returned to their former lives. They spend halfthe year cruising the East and Gulf coasts and the Ba-hamas aboard Nauset, their retirement cruising boat.

Here in New England, we get few real hurri-canes, and we’re proud of the ones we survive,and get our money’s worth in recollecting

them. The Hurricane of 1938 is now remembered byonly the eldest. Seventy-five years ago this month, this whim of na-

ture ravaged the Northeast. I thought I should putthis terrible storm into some sort of perspective.Across Long Island, Connecticut, Rhode Island andMassachusetts, 688 people lost their lives; 4,500 were

injured; 75,000 buildings were destroyed or sustainedserious damage. Most of the fishing fleet in New Bedford went to the

bottom. Countless pleasure boats were smashed ordriven far inshore. Both large commercial vessels andrailroad cars were tossed by heaving ocean. In today’scurrency, the value of property lost approached five-

were lost. The hurricane of 1900 that inundatedGalveston, Tex., took 6,000 to 8,000 lives; the loneforecaster predicting a tidal wave was ignored. Hun-dreds of sightseers went to the beach to watch theocean’s wrath and were swept away. The Great LaborDay Hurricane of 1935, a Cate-gory-5 powerhouse, left 408 deadin the Florida Keys.The Second World War boasted

even more casualties. The end ofSeptember 1938 found the headsof state of the world powers at aconference in Munich. AdolfHitler, Benito Mussolini, NevilleChamberlain and Edouard Dal-adier convened in hopes of main-taining world peace. On Sept. 21,the ears of the world were tuned to the MunichAgreement. Few citizens in America were concernedwith reports of a storm ascending the coast. The Hurricane of 1938 originated in the equatorial

currents that flow toward the Americas from Africa.On Sept. 16, the storm was reported 350 miles northof Puerto Rico. By the 20th, it was headed north, par-allel to the coast. But the U.S. Weather Bureau as-sumed that the storm would head out to sea off Cape

Hatteras, as so many hurricanes do.Instead, this storm clung to the coast and built up

speed and power. By the following day, it hit New Jer-sey hard enough to ruin the crops of tomatoes and ap-ples still in the fields, hard enough to uproot trees; totear down bridges. To make things worse, the entireNortheast had had heavy rains most of the previous

week and more than averagerainfall that entire summer. Thesodden ground would accept nomore water.Torrential rain and gale-force

winds uprooted trees in NewYork City. Just before noon, aweather report from the citywarned residents of Connecticutthat they were in for a goodnortheaster. By 2 p.m., the sunhad disappeared from the lower-

ing sky.By the time the storm made landfall in southern

Long Island, it had strengthened to a Category-3storm with winds of 115 to 120 mph. But the forwardspeed of the storm was an unusually rapid 50 mph.As hurricanes revolve counterclockwise, this meansthe wind on the eastern side of the storm exceeded160 mph. The barometric pressure dropped to 27.94inches, or 946 millibars. Just the eye of the storm was

the U.S. Weather Bu-reau assumed that thestorm would head out tosea off Cape Hatteras, asso many hurricanes do.

meled Connecticut; by 4 p.m., itsurged up Narragansett Bay andBuzzards Bay. It demolished thesizable harbor of New Bedford. Itflooded Providence. A local jour-nalist, Everett Allen, covered thewaterfront that day, and collectedamazing accounts of the storm inhis impressive book, “A Wind toShake the World.”No one in New England had

ever experienced such a storm.Bodies and building were flungashore in its wake. The scream ofthe wind drowned all conversa-tion. Floating houses crashedonto rocks, but the sound couldnot be heard above the din.Along the Connecticut shore-

line, Clinton, Old Saybrook, OldLyme, New London and Stonington were destroyed.New London caught fire and burned the rest of theday. The rampant Thames River demolished its com-

Here in New England, we wrestled with an enemybeyond our comprehension. Mere hours sufficed toconvulse the sea and demolish a thousand miles ofplacid shoreline. Rotting corpses were buried by tonsof wreckage. Years would pass in restoration. Somebeaches today remain devoid of dwellings. New covesand inlets created by the storm abound.Both Providence and New Bedford have since built

mighty seawalls to repel further inundations. Thethree miles of The Hurricane Barrier around NewBedford, guarded by massive sea gates, is the largestmasonry project on the East Coast of America. It hassince repelled two Category-2 hurricanes, Gloria and

Bob; the wrath of Irene and Sandy; and numerouswinter gales. It stands high enough to withstand a20-foot surge. New Bedford, with the largest commer-cial fishing port in America, and home to 100,000 peo-ple, should be secure from almost any storm. We prayit is never put to its ultimate test.Matthew Goldman, a.k.a Constant Waterman

Hussey Sound, Casco Bay, Maine, a few min-utes after 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 20, with28 boats in five divisions. There were flat seas,and the wind blew warm and light, as the rac-ers passed south of Long Island and headedinto the open Atlantic.Isobel, a custom boat with a rating of -72, fin-

ished 1st and won Monhegan Class A. The mi-nus rating meant that owner Richard Schottehad corrected time two hours longer than theactual elapsed time. PYC member RichStevenson finished second in Buzz, a Sydney38.PYC member Scott Smithwick skippered

Twenty-three boats started in Newport Saturday,June 8, after the passing of the Tropical Storm Andrea,the smallest Bermuda One-Two fleet in many years.The first boat to finish in the regular classes (as wellas first corrected time in fleet) was John Lubimir’sClass 2 Flight Risk, a Quest 30 Modified designed byRhode Islander Rodger Martin. This is John’s secondBermuda One-Two race, however the first in FlightRisk, which he sailed in theSinglehanded Transpac in2012. Class 1 winner wasResolute sailed by ScottMiller. Class 3 winner wasAggressive sailed by Ray-mond Renaud. Class 4 win-ner was Windswept sailed byRick McCally.The conditions this year

were very demanding for thesinglehanded leg toBermuda, and seven boatsdropped out for various rea-sons, mostly due to thetough wind and sea condi-tions. Most of the fleet fin-ished Thursday, June 14,with a couple more on Fri-day.Solid Air, a Columbia 32C, was abandoned due to

keel problems, and the skipper was picked up by newskipper Dan Alonso on Halcyon. Mirari, a Bristol 39sailed by Dan Stadtlander, turned back with a brokenboom and torn main and genoa, leaving only a stormjib. Mirari was able to start motoring, and then thepropeller shaft broke. Stadtlander devised a couplerand motored to Martha’s Vineyard, then home to Con-necticut.Serif, a Tartan 30 sailed by first-time entrant

Charles Schepens, had some electrical wiring fried,

which kept him from starting his motor and using hiselectrics the rest of the way. Then his triple reefedmain was blown out of the mast slot. Serif limped toBermuda with only her genoa.The return, doublehanded leg started on June 20,

the skippers racing back to Newport with a crewmem-ber. However, Douglas Shearer on Nimros and MichaelSchum on Kontradiction raced back singlehanded. Thereturn conditions were quite different from the first

leg; there were long peri-ods of no wind and lightwind, especially for theslower boats in the fleet. Stanley Paris raced the

doublehanded leg with hisson Alan Paris of AroundAlone fame, and again wasthe first boat to finish. Thefirst non-experimentalclass boat to finish (as wellas first corrected time infleet) was Class 1 Resolute,crewed by Scott Miller andGeorge Haselton, bothfrom Maine. Class 2 win-ner was Wildeyes, anotherQuest 30, sailed by MichaelMillard and Bjorn Johnson. Class 3 corrected-time

winner was Island Girl sailed by Brian Flynn andCraig Olsen. Class 4 winner was another Maine boat,Bluebird, crewed by Gust Stringos and John Bell.Bluebird finished 2nd on corrected time in the wholefleet for the return leg, and Wildeyes finished 3rd. Only15 boats started from Bermuda, and all 15 finished. The St. George’s Dinghy and Sports Club is the host

Fifteen sailing boats participated in two classes —the Racing Fleet and Cruising Fleet – in the 2nd qual-ifying race of the Hoist Away Bags 2013 Commodore’sCup Series, the Whaleback Regatta, Aug. 3. KitteryPoint Yacht Club, in Portsmouth, N.H., and the Pis-cataqua Sailing Association and Portsmouth YachtClub hosted the event. The course took racers, sailing under PHRF handi-

cap rules, from Whaleback Light north, halfway toBoone Island, on to the northern tip of Appledore Is-land, then the return to Whaleback Light. The windwas brisk and consistent out of the southwest between

10 and 15 knots. The competition was tight throughoutthe race with the top five yachts in the cruising classfinishing within a two-minute period, with 2nd and3rd place finishes decided by just one second. The topthree yachts in the racing class, all J/24s, finishedwithin 19 seconds. Following the race, participants and members of

Three Lubec men took home the top prize of $1,000 inthis year’s Fisherman’s Dory Race on July 7. After com-ing in second in the eliminations held the previous day –which saw seventhree-person teamscompete againsteach other to roundred buoy No. 8 inthe Lubec Narrows– Tracy Sawtelle,Derek Lyons andBrian Brodie re-turned on Sundaywith renewed deter-mination.

A highlight of this year’s event was the participationof an all-female crew in the July 6 eliminations. Thoughnot fast enough to qualify for Sunday’s race – only the

top three crewswere allowed tocompete in the fi-nal – Carlie Wolf,Molanna Oei andTamara Scurcipaved the way forother women to en-ter next year’s race,said JimmyBuehner of theLubec Fishermen’sDory Race Com-mittee.“I hope this

Freeport, drove Imagine, a Pearson34, to victory in the Cruising Class;

2nd place went to Marc Lorraine inthe C&C 110 Hightail. Marc won theprestigious Geoffrey Emanuel Spiritof Monhegan award for facilitatingthe arrangements for the finish. TheMulti-hull Class started with twoboats, and only one finished: CaseyMulligan in Supply & Demand, aReynolds 33 catamaran. The race, hosted by the Portland

Yacht Club, Falmouth, Maine, is theoldest and longest offshore racing

event on the Maine coast. The coursehas basically remained unchangedsince its 1927 conception, with a fewminor modifications, as offshorebuoyage has changed. However, theshape of sailboat racing has changedwith the expansion of other familyrecreation opportunities, and thenumber of boats competing has beenon the decline. Looking for a ways to engage boat

owners and a new generation ofsailors, the course was changed dra-matically and finished just outsideCamden Harbor. PYC racer officer,Stephanie Helms, had researchedother successful regattas around thecountry and found destination racespopularity was on the rise. “The chal-lenges in adapting a great traditionto changing times are many and weknew we might face a few chal-lenges, which we did,” saidStephanie. “The other key to increasing boat

entries was the lifestyle of the peopleparticipating, both owners and crew,”said Bill Newberry, PYC rear com-modore and Monhegan chair. “Wewanted to make it possible to workFriday afternoon, attend the Fridaynight party, race on Saturday andSunday, and be back to work on Mon-day. We provided bus transportationto help with logistics, gear, and crewand make it easy for owners to stickaround to cruise Penobscot Bay.”The due diligence process to alter

the course was not easy, and the racecommittee wrestled with the move-the-finish-to-Camden decision formonths. “We didn’t know if finishingin Camden would change racers’ per-ception that the race was no longerthe Monhegan Race,” Bill said. “Butafter sailing the new course, my fearwas greatly diminished.”Steve Ribble, from Bangor Maine,

crewing Hightail, a C&C 110, gavethe new format a thumbs-up. “High-tail had a perfect start and led thecruising fleet out of Hussey Sound,and all the way to Two Bush Light,”Steve said. “With a handicap in themiddle of the fleet, it took roughly 50miles for a faster boat to pass High-

tail, which happened rounding the Two Bush turningmark as we began our way up Penobscot Bay. From thereit was cat-and-mouse between two of the faster boats inthe fleet, with Hightail finally putting distance on one,and finishing only minutes behind the other.” Portland Yacht Club member and veteran racer, Tim

Hussey, sailing his 39th race, agreed the new course of-fers new and memorable experiences. Tim crewed aboardResolute, a J/44, skippered by Fred Maderia, from Fal-mouth Maine. “Early Sunday morning, we were sailingdownwind in light air, coming up Two Bush channel invery thick fog,” Tim said. “All of a sudden we heard a long,low, and loud blast dead ahead. We checked our AISthat’s hooked into our chartplotter and identified the600-foot tanker New England, coming out ofSearsport. She was going about 14 knots, only five milesaway, and coming right at us. We were right in the middleof the shipping lane, and decided we needed to leave;however, the light air made it difficult to maneuver too

quickly. . . . We heard him pass close by, but never sawhim.” Resolute went on to win 3rd place in CruisingClass. Multihull racer Casey B. Mulligan said the new format

offered his crew a new port to visit, his primary reasonfor participating in the Monhegan. Supply & Demand, aReynolds 33 catamaran, sailed from New York for theirsecond Monhegan Race. They sailed home from Camdenby way of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, then across the Gulfof Maine, with stops in Salem, Provincetown and Nan-tucket, Mass. Casey, who finished 1st in the MultihullClass, said he is “definitely returning next year.” For com-plete results: www.portlandyachtclub.com.

Swartz and his crack crew handily won IRC 1 in the’Round-the-Island Race, taking home the AlexanderOrr Trophy and the Great Venona Trophy for best per-formance overall. Second in class for both events wasTokyo’s Takashi Okura, skippering the TP52 Sled. The buoy races, which were inaugurated last year as

a one-day adjunct to the decades-old ‘Round-the-IslandRace, were expanded this year to two days, and themove proved to be popular, especially when the racecommittee chose to run them close to the mouth ofEdgartown Harbor. “I think they hit it out of the park,”said Gavin Brady (Annapolis, Md.), Vesper’s tactician.“On Friday we sailed three and a half hours, got threeraces in, and were back to the dock by 1:30 to enjoy theisland. Other yacht clubs should take note that shortcourses close to shore are okay, and that sailing doesn’thave to be an all-day sport where you race all day andyou’re so exhausted when you get home that you can’tdo anything else!” Brady said that Vesper clocked 24

knots on the back side of the island. “It was likeHawaii, with big waves and heaps of wind.”Joining the IRC fleet for Saturday’s ‘Round-the-Is-

land Race was George David’s (Hartford, Conn.) 90-foot maxi yacht Rambler, which won the Concord Cupfor fastest elapsed time around the island. The team’stime of four hours and 10 minutes is now officially thefastest recorded time for the circumnavigation of theisland in the Edgartown Yacht Club Race Weekend,breaking Rambler’s record in 2009 of just over fivehours. “Our top speed was 27 knots on the north sideof the island, after the final corner to the finish,” saidRambler’s Team Manager Mick Harvey (Newport, R.I.)“The boat just lit up! We were ripping along with flatwater and no waves. George was driving, and he washaving the time of his life. We were all pinching our-selves in the end.” For complete results, visitwww.rtirace.org and www.edgartownyc.org.

Over the course of theweekend, 11 teams built 12-foot Bevin’s Skiffs,launching them from East End Beach at the close ofthe festival. This year’s festival welcomed teams from as far

away as Birmingham, Alabama. “The Southern Se-niors” team, captained by Susan Wilder White, fea-tured three generations of her family. Theyvacationed in Maine, making the festival a key stopin their travels. The Perkins, House and Stevenscrews rounded out the family entries.The festival also welcomed several youth groups.

FETCHING ALONG/David Buckman

Sheltering at Love CoveThe Leight lies placidly the morning after the tempest in Love Cove, at Ebenecook Harbor, a few miles west of Boothbay.

The abrupt turn of weather left us breathless.We’d been visiting the lighthouse museumperched atop the heights of Seguin Island when

a glowering convention of clouds gathering to seawardwithdrew the sun’s warmth, and soon afterwards blewup a snotty southerly, stirring up a siege of seas trailingstreamers of foam in their wake. The leaves of alders alongside the rocky trail rattled

nervously as Leigh and I scurried toward the sloop,which was tossing about in the exposed teacup of a coveunder the east shore. Once aboard, a few keystrokesconfirmed the sea change, the forecast promising heavyrain, thunderstorms and wind gusting into the 30s asthe afternoon wore on. The urgency of the moment was upon us, and 10 in-

tense minutes later, the Leight was scuttling acrossseas ribbed with swells, under reefed main and jib, er-rant streaks of sun penetrating rents in the clouds and

painting dramatic highlights across the tossing waters.We felt like prey among predators, a pack of white-

crested wolves nipping at our heels as the remorselessfang of sea broke sharp and spray flew. Shaping anortherly course for Love Cove, nine miles distant, theebbing tide took full measure of every minute and mile.Dipping and corkscrewing our way through the melee,we kept looking over our shoulders, awaiting the lashof gale. Rushing into Ebenecook Harbor at dead-low tide, we

gave wide berth to shoals radiating from the two is-lands midstream, tacked into the narrow slant of LoveCove, and a few minutes later were under power, thesails hanging disheveled as we poked about single-digitsoundings at the head of navigation. Rigging an anchortrip line, for there is old mooring gear on the bottom,the mate played out the CQR and 10 fathoms of chain,in a single fathom of water.

The cabin seemed all the moresnug for the flurry of weather.Darkness came early, sheets ofrain slashed, wind raged, the mastshuddered, and treetops whippedabout furiously. The spinnakerhalyard rattled, and the flame ofthe kerosene lantern danced, cast-ing a warm glow across the ma-hogany cabinetry. Above it all, thefury of wind and rain droned. Wefelt like iron filings, attracted andsubdued by the magnetic madnessof it. We kept watch and held fast.Ham, beans, a ruby merlot, music,and a light at the head of naviga-tion were a comfort.Later I donned foul-weather

gear and went on deck to throttlethe flag, which was snapping awaymadly. The civility of the cabin, afew feet away, seemed almost sur-real. I heard thunder rumble inthe distance, saw the sky light upalong the shore of the SheepscotRiver, and imagined folks in its“winged villages,” as Thoreaucalled river towns, dashing aboutmadly, greatly annoyed by the in-convenience of the storm, and feel-ing little of the epic drama playingout. Rest did not come easily in the

uproar, but sometime in thenether hours of night, the windand rain took off and we slippedinto soft billows of sleep. Morningdawned mirror-still, mist risingfrom the spruce ashore – theworld washed clean, and LoveCove bathed in an ethereal lightthat looked like a Fitz Hugh Lanepainting. What a lovely furor ithad been. It’s an ill wind thatblows no good.

MaineStripers, blues will be blitzing; big tuna, shark and cod hitting

By Capt. Marco LamotheFor Points East

Fishing conditions on the south coast of Maine areperhaps their best in September. In a final rush to en-ergize for their long journeys south, striped bass, blue-fish, sharks, and bluefin tuna all take advantage of theabundant forage found in our coastal waters. Expect to find striped bass transitioning from their

summer feeding patterns of late day, overnight, andearly morning feeding into all-day feeding routines, of-ten turning into feeding frenzies. Bluefish are at theirmost abundant early in the month, with possibilitiesfor huge surface blitzes as the blues feast on sand eels,spike mackerel, and small herring available alongarea beaches. Likely spots include Popham Beach, near the mouth

of the Kennebec River. all the way down to the beachesin the towns of York and Kittery. Target these blitzing

bass and blues with trolled artificials like Bomberdeep-divers, Deadly Dick spoons, and Yo-Zuri swim-mers in a variety of sizes and styles. On days when thefish are not showing on the surface, try trolling a deepdiving Magnum Rapala for suspended bluefish. In-crease your speed up to about four to four and a halfknots to excite the blues and gain more diving depth.For surface casting excitement, try tossing a Rangerplug to busting fish.

Bluefin tuna action increased throughout August,and this trend should continue into September. Fishwill be found from Isle au Haut to Boone Island, andfrom Monhegan Island in toward the ledges off of Bid-deford and Scarborough. Many of the fish harvestedin August came from humps that were often out of siteof land.

Typically these late-season fish are caught withinfour or five miles of land, often within range of thesmall-boat fleet. These are heavy fish, usually in the300- to 500-poundrange, so 130-pound class gearand an experi-enced crew areneeded to find suc-cess. For bait rec-ommendations,most who find suc-cess use live mack-erel or herring.Occasionally, asmaller bluefin(under 200pounds) is landedby casting a Carl-son Spoon or Crip-pled Herring jig ona souped-up spin-ning rig. Thesespinning rigs can feature a Penn Spinfisher 950 witha custom spinning rod built to handle the 80- to 100-pound-test PowerPro micro-braid needed to hold theseamazing tuna. Be sure to bring your fighting belt if

targeting bluefin on a stand-up outfit of this type.Shark fishing will stay strong until the first frosty

mornings of October. This season has started strong,and similar success for local shark hunters should con-tinue. With the exception of an occasional thresher,

mako, or porbea-gle, this Mainefishery is focusedon blue sharks.These “blue dogs”are a steady pres-ence on the off-shore grounds andrespond readily toa properly pre-sented dead bait inan oily chum slick.

Area bait-and-tackle shops likeSaco Bay Tackle onRoute One in Sacocan provide fisher-men with all thegear and knowl-edge necessary to

test out this exciting fishery. Most fish are harvestedin 400+ feet of water. Off the Saco River mouth, myhome waters, we typically are required to run eight

miles or more to find desirable depths. Groundfishing has been particularly steady

throughout the spring and summer, and Septemberhas traditionally been a really productive month. Myexpectations are high for this fall. Cod in the 25- to30-inch range have been the norm this season onhumps like Jeffreys Ledge, West Cod Ledge, and Tan-tas Ledge. Jeffreys has been a steady producer of had-dock as well this season along with strong numbersof slammer pollock. Cod jigs like Sea Wolfe jigs in 12-, 14- and 16-ounce

sizes are my favorites. Place a cod-fly teaser on a drop-per loop 15 to 18 inches above the swivel used to at-tach to your jig, and bait the teaser with a half-cookedMaine shrimp. Most hits typically come on the teaser,and sweetening the teaser with a shrimp greatly en-hances your chances of hooking into a delectable had-dock.September is perhaps the best time of year to fish

the coast of Maine. Daytime temperatures are gener-ally in the 70s, seas are frequently calm, and the fishare abundant and willing to strike. Don’t put your fish-ing gear away yet

Western Long Island Sound

By Richard DeMarteFor Points East

Coming off a strong, steady showing of bait andsolid fishing action in August, the outlook for Septem-ber and this year’s fall fishing overall couldn’t be bet-ter. Bay anchovies, peanut bunker, snapper blues,glass shrimp, spearing and other small baitfish arekeeping the ravenous hordes of predatory fish on thefeed. Taking the time to toss your cast net this timeof year can result in ample supplies of bait for chum-ming, live-lining and drift-fishing.With the fall migration facing them, all sizes, ages

and types of predatory fish are feeding heavily to in-crease their body masses to beef up for the long trekahead, so now more than any other time of year theyrespond well to chumming. Frozen or freshly groundbaits, such as mussels, clams and bunker, can be eas-ily tossed over in small portions or hung over the sideof your boat in a small mesh or burlap bag to createa very effective chum slick that will draw in, and turnon, the feeding instincts of bluefish, stripers, fluke,porgies, sea bass and blackfish. Once these fish getthe scent of the chum, their feeding instincts kick in,

and working your lures or baited hooks in the chumslick will result in a steady stream of bites.

Bluefish are coming on strong this month, and themix of sizes now ranges from finger-long baby “snap-pers” to full-blown choppers of 16 pounds or more.Snappers can be found in just about every shallowwater area as they feast on spearing and other smallbaitfish along docks, shorelines and piers. Not only are these feisty critters good eating, fish-

ing for them is by far one of the most enjoyable waysto introduce kids to the thrills of fishing. Castingsnapper-poppers or one- to two-inch silver Kastmas-ters – or using a bobber with a small hook hanging12 to 18 inches under it, baited with a dime-sizedpiece of spearing or sandworm – will result in actionand smiles. Harbor blues of one to four pounds can also be

found just outside harbors and even in deeper waterswhere they can be caught using three- to six-ouncemetal jigs. Using your fishfinder/depthsounder is key to get-

ting into this type of action. Search for schools of fishby traveling in a grid pattern at two to four knots.

You’ll cover a lot of ground, and no doubt come acrossschools of baitfish with harbor blues feeding on them,which will usually appear in the lower portion of thewater column. As soon as you find fish, mark the spotby quickly entering a waypoint on your depthsounder, then shift your boat into neutral, drop yourjig down to the bottom, and crank it back 10 to 15turns of the reel as fast as you can. This fast retrievalworks your jig so it mimics bait fish scurrying awayfrom feeding fish and triggers spectacular attacks. Ifyou don’t get a hit, immediately drop your jig backdown again and give the reel another 10-15 cranks.This is the epitome of fast action fishing, and if you’relucky, you may even get into a few fish near the 10-pound mark or heavier. This time of year, somebruiser blues at can run in the 12- to 18-pound range.Jigging, nighttime chunking, daytime trolling, andlivelining adult bunker are the most productive waysto get into these beasts. Remember to watch out forthose razor sharp teeth. Fish for blues of all sizes from the shores and

mouths of the Housatonic River, Greenwich, Stam-ford and Norwalk harbors, and also out to the deeperwaters in the middle of the sound.The striped bass action has slowed a bit in the

westernmost Long Island Sound, but has been stead-ier along the east end, in Connecticut and into RhodeIsland. As the weather begins to cool a bit, water tem-

peratures start to drop, the angle of the sun beginsto shift, and these linesiders will begin fall-migrationfeeding habits, bulking up for their migratory jour-neys. Fresh bunker, if you can find it, is by far the baitof choice for striper fishing this month, and sincethey’re mixed in with sizable choppers, be sure toswitch over to using wire leaders, since bluefish teethwill slice through fluorocarbon leaders like a hotknife through butter. This is also a great time to get into some smaller

schoolie stripers in the 20- to 32-inch range (three- to10-pounders) using top-water lures, like the StormChug Bug, along rocky shorelines, at the break walls,and at mouths of harbors and rivers. Likely spots in-clude the Byram River, Greenwich Harbor, the Mi-anus River in Cos Cob, and Stamford Harbor. Fishingdawn, dusk and nighttime is key when bait fishingfor larger stripers, while daytime is best for usingtop-water lures for schoolies.

Fluke fishing has been strong all summer long andshows no signs of slowing down. Moving out into a bitdeeper waters this time of year – such as outsideCaptain’s Islands in Greenwich and buoy 32A outsideStamford – will produce best results. Summer flukefishermen found mantis shrimp in the bellies of thebigger fluke, and this month more are found withsquid and spearing, so tailor your bait selection ac-

cordingly. The most productive lure and bait choicesinclude the new Ebi Jigs by Rapala, tipped with Trig-gerX scented baits, strips of squid or bunker. I’m a be-liever in the “big baits catch big fish” theory. so I’mgenerous in the size of what I tip my jigs with.

Porgies, or scup, will be found inside coves andharbors, in shallow waters, along rock piles and indeeper waters near wrecks or any type of structure.They seem to be running larger than average, withdinner-plate size three- and four-pounders prevalent.Chum will help start and keep the bite going, andbaits of sandworms, clams, and bunker cubes willproduce.

Seabass are mixed in with porgies, concentratednear structures in deeper waters from the wrecks androck piles outside Stamford (around buoy 32A) all theway out to the middle grounds. Use the same gearand bait you’re using for porgies, and try to time yourfishing to catch a moving tide.

Rhode Island

By Elisa JackmanFor Points East

Many Block Island Sound an-glers are enjoying the awesomesummer fishing along the RhodeIsland coast. Inshore fishing hasbeen great, and offshore big-gamefishing is off to a great start.

Bonita made their first appear-ances early August at Block Is-land’s North Rip, and Sue Lemalanded a green bonita on an AcmeXL the first week of August. Fish-ing will improve along the southshore with false albacore, andwill move east as the season pro-gresses. Green Bonita actionstarted around the island; deadlydicks and Swedish Pimples workbest casting; trolling fast trackcan also be productive.Rocky bottom areas from the

Center Wall of the Harbor ofRefuge, Nebraska Shoals, andGreen Hill have had awesomescup, and seabass fishing andshould continue through October.Chris Gudik weighed in a 5.04-pound fluke from outside the Cen-ter Wall of the Harbor of Refuge.Tautog fishing has been great,and it will only improve as watertemperatures decrease. Anglersfishing the rock piles near Scar-borough Beach are doing well.

Fluke fishing remained consis-tent through August, with manyanglers continuing to limit out.The North Rip of Block Island,Clay Head, and the South Sideare best spots to try this month asthe south-shore fishing becomesmore difficult near Point Judith,Matunuck and Green Hill.The bluefish and striped bass

fishing is productive around thePoint Judith Light, CharlestownBreachway and, of course, at theNorth Rip and Southwest Ledgeof Block Island. Live eels havebeen the bait of choice since mid-

August; however, trolling an um-brella rig is also effective. Anglers interested in tourna-

ment fishing can enjoy two greatSeptember tournaments. TheBilly Carr Striped Bass Tourna-ment will be held Sept. 7-8, andthe Galilee Fishing Tournamentand Seafood Festival is Sept. 20-22. Big game fishing has been

spotty; however, anglers makingthe run south of the Dump, and toareas like Jenny’s and Ryan’sHorns, have been lucky with yel-lowfin tuna and albacore land-ings. Joe Mariani led PatBarberet of Coventry, R.I., to theDump to land an awesome 70-pound yellowfin on the troll.Shark fishing in the areas of CoxLedge, Sharks Ledge and Butter-

fish Hole have remained consis-tent and are good spots for fallfishing. Offshore canyon runs have pro-

duce the best big-eye tuna fish-ing in years. Fish Tales andAtlantis Canyons have producedmore big-eyes than yellowfin sofar this year. Chris Soleau fromMarlborough, Conn., landed a200-pound big-eye in mid-Augustaboard the Defiant. Weather per-mitting, hopefully more anglerswill be able to make the trek.

Jackman, a Point Judith Pondnative, has managed the tackleshop at Wakefield, R.I.’s SnugHarbor Marina (www.snughar-bormarina.com) for over 18 yearsand has spent her life fishing thewaters of Block Island Sound.

A School for TraditionalBoatbuilding and

SeamanshipLocated on the waterfront in

Rockland, Maine


Running dead-slow, we were skirting the northedge of Spruce Creek, past a shoreline subduedin the flat light of a late November day. My hand

rested lightly on the curved oak grip of our West Pointerskiff, more from habit than for balance. West Pointersare steady.Originally built by Alton Wallace for inshore lobster-

ing around Phippsburg, Maine, West Point skiffs hadbrought the seakindliness of Downeast lobsterboats tosmall-craft operators. This strip-planked 16-footercharmed my wife and me from the moment we had firstseen her, just a few months before. Not a new boat byany means, she was still new to us and our kids. So wedidn’t quite know what to expect when we cast off thatsteely November morning, on what likely would be oneof the last days of the season.Late autumn in Maine has special charms. Fewer

boats mean more of a sense of proprietorship for thoseunder way, and Spruce Creek felt like ours alone that

day. But summer was over. That was apparent fromshuttered cottages, empty moorings, and docks whosefloats had been hauled and stored. The estuary seemedstill. A few great blue herons, their gazes directed down-ward, didn’t even acknowledge our presence.Spruce Creek flows into the Piscataqua River, the

southern border between Maine and New Hampshire.The Piscataqua’s current is the second fastest of anyAmerican river navigable by commercial ships, secondonly to the storied Columbia River in the Pacific North-west. Except for slack water, which occurs for a paltryfew minutes four times a day, the mighty Piscataquacan be a handful, especially in a kayak, a peapod, or un-der sail. And that’s how I knew the river best.Despite living for years on one of the most powerful

rivers in the nation, I had come late to motorboats. Ournew West Pointer promised to make the river more ac-cessible. The 30-horsepower Honda outboard pushedher easily. Compared to my peapod and kayak, she flew.

LAST WORD/Je f f Bo l s t e r

Ghost of the PiscataquaWe turned a corner at dead-slow, and came bow-to-stern with as compelling a chunk of Piscataqua history as we had ever seen.

We had no plan or itinerary that morning, just thesense that we would savor a few hours on the water. Ifelt like I knew the river pretty well by then, like I haddiscovered most of the secrets associated with thosecross-grained and wily waters – the abandoned ship-yards on Long Reach, their World War I hulks settlinginto the mud; the slippery back eddies along the Eliotshore; the hermit island in Little Bay; the wooden tres-tles in Kittery from a long-gone electric trolley that hadcarried beachgoers to the shore a century ago. Through-out the Piscataqua region, no matter where you lookfrom the water, snapshots of the past appear, inter-spersed by glimpses of a persevering nature.Those who know it don’t regard the Piscataqua as

simply a river, but as more a kingdom of rivers, definedby a labyrinth of tributaries – and characterized by saltmarsh, rocky shores, tiny islands, frightening currents,industrial piers, colonial houses, and working water-fronts. Every inch of its shore contrasts the present withthe past.So maybe I shouldn’t have gasped – or smiled that

smile of discovery – when I confronted Ernest Heming-way’s wrecked boat on the shores of Spruce Creek. Shecame up out of nowhere. We turned a corner at dead-slow, rounding a point, our West Pointer tracking true– and came bow-to-stern with as compelling a chunk ofPiscataqua history as I had ever seen. This wreck hadclass.Of course, she wasn’t Papa Hemingway’s boat, though

her vintage was about right, and she was dying to tellus her stories. My snap association to Hemingway’sboat had been involuntary – and instantaneous.Decades earlier, I had seen Hemingway’s Pilar in Cuba.At the time, I was skipper of a 200-ton brigantine,crewed by American University students making a voy-age to Havana, and tops on my to-do list was a pilgrim-age to the great author’s house. Propped on blocksoutside, Pilar was Hemingway’s talisman, a piece ofPapa left for us who savored his sea stories. Now here,on Spruce Creek, an equally venerable old boat seemedpoised to reveal her secrets.There was nothing “gold-plater” about her – not a

speck of varnish, for instance, nor evidence that she hadever been gussied up. Simple and sturdy, she was a rem-nant from an age when sedan cruisers had flat-headgasoline engines and single props, long before the flyingbridge made its debut.I knew instinctively how she had smelled and felt

that last summer or two before she had been left on theslipway, an honest boat, a bit musty and worn, onewhose pilothouse doors jammed some times, never quitetrue. I knew exactly what it had felt like to heft the en-gine-room hatch, peering down on that proud row ofsparkplugs and the big reduction gear. In my mind I could see her plumb stem and flared

bow carving an arc through the Piscataqua; hear the

clank of the ice-cold bottled beer; feel the throb of theengine, probably an old Gray Marine or a Palmer; andsense the welcome heat from that engine compartmentagainst the chill of a Maine morning. She had been spe-cial to a fellow or a family here on the shores of thecreek, of that I was sure. Only something so specialwould endure so long after her time had passed.She’d been stripped to the bone. Propeller, steering

wheel, portholes, and controls: All were gone. The painthad peeled, so her name and hailing port had long sincereceded into the mists, though a solitary “K” suggestedKittery. But her spirit remained. She would never sailagain, but back in the day, she had put in her time, doneher duty, steamed her crew towards the horizon andbrought them home again safely.The wreck snapped my kids out of their quiet-morn-

ing reveries. It fired their imaginations, and they pep-pered us with questions. How old was the boat? Howlong had it been there? Who owned it? Why didn’t theytake care of it? None of which we could answer. All Iknew is that the old gem belonged to the Piscataqua,part of that chain of heritage linking the past to the pre-sent. She was a treasure precisely because she could bediscovered. Bob Ballard and his gang searching for theTitanic had nothing on us.We poked around a bit more, checking out the wreck

from different angles. Even with the leaves off the trees,we could not see a house or any path from the boat. Itwas as if she had her own place, separate from the hereand now, a monument to a simpler time. One last look,then I spun the skiff around and we headed for home.It snowed a few days later, time to haul our motorboat

and put her under cover. Come spring, I thought, wewould return to the wreck. The kids wanted to showtheir friends. And I was certainly game to let my imag-ination roam again in her presence. Maybe I would doa bit of research, try to find out who had built her, andwhen.The chainsaws beat us to it. By the time we launched

our skiff next spring and returned to investigate, noth-ing but a few splinters remained. Like the schoonersHesperus and Luther Little, which had adorned the Wis-casset waterfront for decades until deemed “menaces tonavigation,” the old cruiser and her memories werecarted away.I never did learn whose boat she had been, or how old

she was. But it didn’t matter. We had stumbled onto alate-season discovery that thrilled all hands. In a placeas magical as the Piscataqua, you never know what’saround the next bend.
