Wow, that was a LONG winter, with a very

cool and rainy spring—must mean we are in for a

FABULOUS summer!! I know that I am ready to

jump onboard, head off to some remote anchorage

and finally RELAX … I can see it now: book in one

hand, ice cold lemonade in the other, boat swinging

lazily on its mooring … LIFE IS GOOD!

We expanded our coverage this year to include

Huntington and Northport on Long Island, both

great destinations with lots to offer visiting boaters.

This season, why not cast off your lines and venture

off to a new port and see what surprises await?

Like many boat owners, we spent the off-season

at the boat shows, visiting the booths and finding

new and exciting ways to update our boat. Read

about this year’s off-season projects on pages 73-75.

We also did our annual BVI getaway this winter:

pages 52-57 chronicle our adventures as we dine our

way through the BVI …

And as always, we wish you a safe, happy and

healthy boating season! See ya on the water!

to find New York City, take your choice of three channels, depending on your previous destination: the Chapel Hill South Channel west of Sandy Hook,

the Swash Channel north of that, or the Ambrose Channel coming around the southern end of Long Island. Eventually, all three come together (Chapel Hill South and Swash meet to form Chapel Hill North, and Chapel Hill North feeds into Ambrose).

From that point of convergence, head north-northwest through the Ambrose, and you’ll come to buoys green #19 and red #20. Pass through them, watching for Norton Point on Coney Island to starboard, and you’ve entered New York’s Lower Bay. Head northwest and watch for Staten Island to port and Brooklyn to starboard, then pass underneath the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. You’re now in the Narrows, headed for the Upper Bay. Anchorage Channel will be your main passage, so follow it as it bears around to the northeast.

By the time you’ve reached the red #28 buoy, you’ll have made eye contact with the Statue of Liberty. She’ll be to port as you pass between her and Governors Island to starboard.

Be mindful that at this point there might be more traffic on the water than you’ve seen on the way in. Using Lady Liberty as your guide, look for Ellis Island to the northeast, and, on the mainland, to the west of that, Jersey City. To starboard is Manhattan, the fork in the road between the Hudson River, to the north, and the East River, to the east. Follow the Hudson, and just as the river makes a strong turn to the north, look to port, and you’ll see the Lincoln Harbor Yacht Club and Marina, a state-of-the-art facility with 275 slips and a wave attenuator, whose dockmaster can be reached on channel 74.

Do we even need to tell you what to do next?New York City is the world’s greatest metropolis, and a place

where anything can and does happen. Think of it as a many-staged theater. Musical acts of all kinds, from jazz to rock to classical, perform every night. Professional sports get no bigger than a New York Yankees game, no matter whom the opponent might be. Museums, food, dancing, walking in Central Park, peering into the distance from the top of the Empire State Building—if you can think it, you can do it in New York.

six times. There are six times as many people living in Huntington today as there were at the end of World War II. Logically, there has to be an

attraction.One could simply guess that star power begets star power.

The names from Huntington’s past—Walt Whitman, Jackie Gleason, Marlene Dietrich, and even the world’s first silver screen female mega star, Mary Pickford, had connections to the town—would be enough to draw anyone in. But was it enough to bring Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Billy Joel, more than a score of professional athletes, and dozens of other big names of modern-day America to town?

There has to be more to it.Huntington Bay is formed by Eaton’s Neck to the east and

Lloyd Neck to the west. Together, they gradually funnel you past a red bell buoy marking Target Rock and into the greater bay. East Beach, on Lloyd Neck, is to your west; West Beach, on Eaton’s Neck, is to your east.

Sliding down along the western shore, you’ll find the Huntington Harbor Lighthouse. The all-reinforced concrete tower sports more character than your average lighthouse, looking more like a castle from medieval Europe than a modern American lighthouse. Really, though, it represents the

architectural style of its day, an era when government buildings were given a little flair. Pick up the channel alongside the lighthouse and work your way between the seawall to the west and Wincoma Point to the east. Continue down the channel as it bends to the southeast, and you’ve found Huntington Harbor.

Inside the harbor, you’ll find that there are plenty of docking opportunities, including the friendly Huntington Yacht Club on the eastern shore. There’s also a municipal facility at the southern end of the harbor that can take care of both you and your boat.

This is the Gold Coast, where entertainers from the music, television and film industries commingle. Visit the beaches, spend time at the bars and restaurants, and you’ll see.

Deeper inside Huntington, you’ll find the Gold Coast’s treasures. The Heckscher Museum of Art boasts five centuries of paintings reaching back from modern American masters to the best Europe had to offer a half millennium ago. The Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum plays the role of gatekeeper of the local past, remembering the days of wooden ships and iron men. Aside from being a celebrity hotspot, Huntington is the center of culture of the western end of Long Island Sound.

in 2009, the oldest house in Northport—built in 1761, a decade prior to the American Revolution—was put up for sale. The townsfolk rallied around it and fought

for legislation protecting their historic properties.And well they should. The town has lived many lives, from

farming to shipbuilding to Victorian Era center of tourism. You’ll know you’re somewhere special when you hit Main Street. The thoroughfare stands remarkably as it did then, with 19th century charm flowing from restaurants and ice cream parlors, and definitely from the antique shops. And look at the street itself: the trolley tracks that once guided revelers to the beauty of Northport remain, two simple strips of steel that today transport one back to the days of box socials, high-wheeled bicycles and the ”oyster barons“ who were once so prevalent in town.

If you’d like to find Northport from the east, round Eaton’s Neck. Coming from the west, round Lloyd Point and slide slowly down the coast to the east-southeast. No matter which way you’ve approached, by the time you reach the #8 flashing red bell buoy, you’ll realize you’ve been funneled directly down into Huntington Bay.

Looking to the southeast, pick up a flashing green #1 buoy at the southern end of West Beach (which is to the east), which will start your voyage into Northport Bay. Follow the markers through the channel into the bay to the east, passing Winkle Point and Duck Island Bluff to the north. Find a flashing red #8 buoy off the northern end of Little Neck Point—its seawall will be facing you as you approach—and head southeast into Northport Harbor. Once inside the harbor, don’t rely on your NOAA chart too much. The aids to navigation from that point forward are privately owned and maintained.

For those of you on vessels up to 60 feet in length, you have no farther to look than Seymour’s Boatyard, which has been serving boaters in Northport since 1923. Tie up there, and within 15 minutes, their crew boasts, you’ll be sitting down to dinner in downtown Northport. The same can be said for tossing lines on the dock at the Britannia Yacht Center. Walk out the front door of that facility—if you can get past the showers, wifi, dockside cable TV, dinner at the Whale’s Tail Cafe, and more—and you’re on the major roadway leading into historic Northport.

p.t. Barnum had Port Jeff dreams. He wanted to make it home base for his circus, but the locals would have none of it. Instead, he stuck to

Bridgeport, Connecticut, but left one long- lasting impact on the Long Island town: He created the Bridgeport-to-Port Jeff ferry that still runs to this day.

If the over-hyped theatricality of Barnum was too much, then Port Jeff has certainly grown into its own particular style. Over the past decade, the community has unveiled its beautiful Harborfront Park in stages, from a playground and picnic area to sculptures and a waterfront promenade. The park complements the Long Island Seaport and Eco Center, a regular calendar of top entertainment at Theatre Three, and so much more. It’s a community on the grow, reaching out to passing boaters with eclectic enticements, seeing tourism and the hospitality industry as the wave of the future.

To find all this fun, if you’re coming from the west, round Old Field Point, south of the green #11A gong buoy, and head to the east-southeast along Old Field Beach, a barrier beach protecting Port Jefferson Harbor. A green #1 buoy and a red #2 buoy mark the break in the thorough shoaling of

the area, and the entrance to the dredged channel into Port Jefferson Harbor.

If you’re coming from the east along the northern Long Island shore, you won’t be able to miss Mount Misery Point. Beyond the entrance to Mount Sinai Harbor, Mount Misery stands 180 feet at its apex and slopes off gradually into Long Island Sound. Sixty-foot bluffs meet the sound, accompanied by sand banks above White Beach, the remnants of the work of local sand and gravel excavators.

From there, it’s a straight shot to the south end of the harbor, and the town of Port Jefferson. The municipal marina is the largest dockage in the area, 165 slips, and a welcome home-away-from-home for transient boaters.

Port Jeff thrived as a shipbuilding and whaling center in times gone by, but the love of the sea continues. The 1987 and 1992 America’s Cup winners call the community home. And, get –this: In the winter, when the boats are all wrapped and tucked into storage, Port Jeff is home to one of the world’s finest Charles Dickens festivals.

All this and brains, too. Make a date with Port Jeff this summer.

the North Fork region is growing in stature with every passing year. The prime association, of course, is with wines. But that’s new; the first vineyards on

Long Island were planted in 1973—that’s just 39 short years. By comparison, the local Strawberry Festival is entering its 58th year; Horton Point Lighthouse has been illuminated since 1857. The wineries are just getting started.

And so should you, if you want to find yourself on the North Fork this summer.

Gardiners Island lies west of Montauk Point and due south of New London; west of the island is the bay of the same name.

A red-and-white whistling nun in the heart of Gardiners Bay marks the site of an ancient shipwreck. Head west past that until you find a red #2 and a green #3, off the southern tip of Long Beach. Follow that channel in a full 90-degree swing around Hay Beach Point on Shelter Island and start heading southwest. Soon, you’ll see a breakwater running southeast off Young’s Point, denoting the fact that you’ve reached Greenport Harbor. Greenport’s skyline is easily recognizable, from its church spires to its water tank and radio tower. Come around the breakwater,

and inside the harbor you’ll find Claudio’s, Townsend Manor Inn and Preston’s, all easily accessible and ready to help any transient boater with any need.

Next, it’s on to Southold. Head out of Greenport Harbor and follow the channel to the southwest. Run between Fanning Point to starboard and Shelter Island Heights to port, keeping in mind that a ferry crosses this short passage routinely. Beyond Fanning Point to starboard is Pipes Cove, framed on its western edge by Conkling Point. The channel S-curves between Conkling Point and Jennings Point on Shelter Island and emerges into Southold Bay. Southold is to the west-southwest.

To find Shelter Island, retreat to that red-and-white buoy back in Gardiners Bay. Look to the southwest to find Ram Head. Travel south toward it, watching for a flashing green #1 buoy off its eastern end. That will lead you to private navigational aids that will direct you into Coecles Harbor, between Sungic Point on the south and Reel Point on the north. In the northwest corner of the harbor you will find Coecles Harbor Marina and Boatyard.

And so your North Fork summer begins. Cruise on in for the chardonnay, but stay for the merlot. Trust the Captain.

sag Harbor has the enviable task of acting as the crossroads between Southampton and East Hampton; it’s a village that forged its own

identity in the midst of some of the finest communities on earth. It once was a place where hope sprang eternal, where young men from many nations paced by the docks waiting for whalers to return, so they might get their chance to head out on the next voyage, to financial freedom and into history. But times have changed.

To find Sag Harbor, cruise down into the southwest corner of Gardiners Bay and find a lone green #1 can buoy. To the west-southwest you’ll find a green #3. Leave that one to port and do the same with Cedar Point; you can’t miss it, studded as it is with its abandoned granite lighthouse and a modern skeletal light. Follow the channel southward as it heads into Northwest Harbor. Be cautious as you work your way toward Barcelona Point to the south, as there are a number of large boulders just outside of the channel.

Once you’ve passed between Barcelona Point on the south, marked by a flashing green light, and sandy Mashomack Point

to the north, find the red #8 nun buoy, and the channel that will safely navigate you past extensive shoaling that becomes partially uncovered at low tide. A flashing red light marks the sand spit, and just opposite of that you’ll find green buoy 9A. The rocks here are known to the locals as Gull Island, and should be kept at a distance.

Coming around between green #11 and a green-and-red can marked “SH,” you’ll meet the entrance to Sag Harbor, marked at the end of a long breakwater by a flashing green light. Head down the channel to the southeast and look for the Sag Harbor Yacht Club, home of the annual Sag Harbor Charity Cup Challenge. If you’re there at race time, don’t be surprised to see an America’s Cup challenger or two.

Whaling is long gone, and so too are those strong-willed young men who sailed the industry’s ships, and Sag Harbor has changed gears. Today’s Sag Harbor visitors hunt relaxation, antiques, entertainment and great food. It’s a place to golf, to shop, to watch nature in all of its seasonal splendor, and to reflect on America and its fabulous and varied history in connection with the sea.

On August 18, 2012, the Breakwater Yacht Club in Sag Harbor will host its first-ever Antigua & Barbuda Hamptons Challenge, sponsored by the Antigua Barbuda Ministry of Tourism. Sailors from all over the East End of Long Island will battle it out in a 15- to 20-mile race through Shelter Island Sound and Peconic Bay.

What is driving the excitement for this event? THE PRIZE! The overall winner of the event and six of his crew will

receive round-trip airfare, accommodations and a boat to race in the 2013 Antigua Sailing Week, which will be held April 27 through May 3, 2013. Even the entry fee is paid! (Antigua Sailing Week, as many sailors know, is the premier sailing event in the Caribbean. www.sailingweek.com

The ABHC is open to boats of at least 22 feet in length with a PHRF handicap of 200 or less. The entry fee is $100 per boat

and includes two tickets to the post-race party at the Breakwater Yacht Club. Additional party tickets may be purchased at a cost of $40 each. In addition to the Grand Prize, there will be prizes for first through third place in each division.

Last summer, the Captain’s Guide hosted the Antigua & Barbuda Hamptons Challenge Party, where the Honorable John Maginley, Minister of Tourism & Aviation for Antigua & Barbuda, attended as the guest of honor. Minister Maginley was

so taken with the nautical history and natural beauty of Sag Harbor that before he left, he envisioned creating a huge annual sailing event here—and put the wheels in motion!

The Antigua Barbuda Challenge Cup also will benefit two local charities, the Breakwater Yacht Club’s Junior Sailing Program (www.breakwateryc.org), and i-tri—Transformation Through Triathlon, for at-risk adolescent girls. (www.itrigirls.org)

have you been brushing up on your knowledge of polo? Can you speak with simple ease about your favorite wines? Do you have

your ready-to-use art exhibit opening comments on a cheat sheet in the inner pocket of your dinner jacket? After all, this is the Hamptons. One must be prepared for the best life has to offer.

There are easy and hard ways to reach the Hamptons.First, the simple approach. If you’re heading for East

Hampton from either Long Island Sound or Block Island Sound, pass the northern tip of Gardiners Island. Swing wide around the point: There might still be unexploded ordnance near shore from Fort Tyler’s Spanish-American War-era artillery battery, or from the fact that the site was used by the Navy for bombing practice during World War II. The ruins of the fort are still visible on the point, and there’s a green flashing buoy (#1GI) that will help guide you clear of any potential harm.

Head south-southwest and keep the red #14 nun marking Crow Shoal to port. Continue on that south-southwest heading and look for a red-and-white bell buoy marked “TM” for “Three Mile.” Due south, let the rest of the buoys do their work and

guide you past Sammys Beach and into Three Mile Harbor. Docking choices are plentiful on the east and south sides of the harbor, and East Hampton is just a few minutes away.

To reach Hampton Bays from the South Shore of Long Island, locate a spot 31 miles southwest of Montauk Light. That’s where you’ll find Shinnecock Inlet, a passageway opened into Shinnecock Bay by the Great Hurricane of 1938. Its depth fluctuates randomly; the Coast Guard checks it every morning to make sure markers don’t have to be moved. Sometimes they do.

If you’re willing, find the entrance to the inlet. Once inside, turn to port and look for the channel markers. Enter the channel at the red #22 buoy and head north-northeast. The channel will swing you into the northwesternmost corner of Shinnecock Bay, where you’ll find Spellman’s Marine and Jackson’s Marina, among others. The Coast Guard is off to the northwest of the inlet, on Ponquogue Point, watching out for your safety.

The Hamptons live up to their reputation. Perhaps you do, too. If so, we’ll ask not whether you’re ready for the Hamptons. Are the Hamptons ready for you?

Dick and Sylvia Mendelman moved their family to East Hampton in 1970. Over time, the kids - Lynn, Peter, Diane and Mark - all left to pursue their dreams, then realized their paths to those dreams all led right back home. They all contribute today to the Mendelman family business, managing the four marinas of Seacoast Enterprise Associates in Three Mile Harbor, lending the talents they honed in the outside world to the local world of East Hampton.

Peter, who runs the company service department, remembers the days of his youth in town fondly. “As kids we cycled all over East Hampton, which still had a lot of potato farms, and we’d pick up the leftover potatoes to make stews at home. We had dogs, trails through the woods to run through, and a really idyllic childhood.”

The Mendelmans lived the lives of kids lucky enough to inhabit the edge of the continent, getting to know the sea, its moods and its bounty. “We’d go fishing with our friends in high school and sell the fresh caught bluefish right out of our bicycle racks to local restaurants, or have mom drive us to Stuart’s Seafood to pack them in iced cardboard cartons for sale to the Fulton Fish Market in New York City. You can’t do that now,” he added, “without a commercial fishing license and reams of paperwork!”

As the kids’ dreams took shape, their mom and dad grew the family business. Dick had become manager and stockholder at Harbor Marina of East Hampton upon arrival in the area, and in 1976, with the help of a partner, Buck Burnett, he bought out the remaining stockholders. When the time came to begin to understand the ways of the working world, the kids had the wonderful opportunity to learn directly from accomplished businesspeople - their own parents. “We all worked at the marina as dockhands, then scraping and painting bottoms and fixing boats while growing up,” said Peter.

Upon graduation from high school, the Mendelman kids went their separate ways to chase down those dreams. Lynn headed for Hamilton College outside Utica, then to the University of Southern California for her PhD in molecular biology. After post-doc studies at Harvard, she taught at the University of West Virginia. In 1996, she returned to East Hampton to help run the marina. By that time, Peter had bought out his dad’s partner, after completing his own undergraduate work at Princeton and gaining his MBA from Harvard.

Brother Mark went on to become a Purdue mechanical and ocean engineering grad, with an MBA from the University of Michigan. He served in the US Navy as the nuclear engineer on the USS Enterprise, the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which he piloted through the Suez Canal. Sister Diane headed for the University of Connecticut to earn a degree in fine arts, then to Boston to pursue a career as a graphic artist.

Over time, as the kids returned to the area, the business expanded.

The MendlemansA Family Affair in Three Mile Harbor

In 1998, the Mendelmans bought Gardiner’s Marina in Three Mile Harbor, a fixture on the charts since 1935. In 2002, they purchased Halsey’s, which had roots as far back as 1921. In 2012, they have added a fourth marina, the Three Mile Harbor Boatyard.

Lynn is an East Hampton Town Trustee, and the general manager of the marinas, in charge of slips, storage, and administration. Mark is currently in charge at Three Mile Harbor Marina and the company’s development manager, in charge of real estate

and facilities development, including all the permitting associated with managing activities on the waterfront. Peter runs the service department and Diane, who runs her own graphic design company, helps the family with the website, www.sea-incorp.com, and advertising campaigns.

And Dick and Sylvia remain active participants in the empire they started. Dick is the executive vice president of the Association of Marine Industries, and stays active working with the trade groups as well as with environmental groups, such as the Peconic Estuary Program. Sylvia still works in the business doing payroll and other administration. She also wrote a book on the history of Three Mile Harbor, (Three Mile Harbor: East Hampton’s Priceless Gem) which, for the past forty years, has also been the history of the Mendelman family, now three generations strong in the area.

“All the grandkids (and their parents) love boating, fishing, sailing, clamming, bodysurfing and swimming, and love being in East Hampton,” said Peter. “When we were first getting started – times were a lot different back then – in the winter, my dad would tow us around the boat lot on old wooden skis behind the old Willys jeep. While East Hampton has changed a lot since those simpler times, it’s still a great place to be and to raise a family, which is why we’re all back.” And with four marinas to run under the family name, the Mendelmans don’t plan to go very far any time soon.

stand in Montauk and you stand at the edge of the world. History happened here, in the personae of George

Washington and Teddy Roosevelt. Nature still happens—not a given in today’s world— and, most importantly, Montauk summer nights are alive. Spend the days watching the yachts race offshore, or test yourself in a big game fishing tournament, then let those warm, crisp nights wash over you in the flash of fireworks or the resonating echo of a live musician pouring his heart out on stage.

Finding Montauk is easy. The 1795 Montauk Lighthouse, the first light constructed in New York, sits 168 feet above sea level at the point and can be seen from well out to sea. If you’re coming from Block Island, find the flashing green buoy marking Cerberus Shoal and round it to the south. Look ahead for a green-and-red bell buoy marked #7SR for Shagwong Reef. Beyond that, to the south-southwest, is the entrance to Lake Montauk, the local harbor.

An approach from the southern side of Long Island means a wide swing around Montauk Point. Watch for a green-and-red buoy marked “SR” for Shagwong Rock to the west-

northwest, off Shagwong Point, and keep it to port as you head to the west and look for the entrance to Lake Montauk. Be advised, though, that the area between Shagwong Reef and Shagwong Rock, including Washington Shoal, has minimum depths around 7 1/2 feet at extreme low tides. If you’re at all worried about striking bottom at those depths, take the extra few minutes to pass north of the buoy marking the reef.

The dredged channel leading into Lake Montauk sits about three miles west of Montauk Point. The channel opening is marked by a red-and-white “M” buoy (for Montauk), and, due south of it, twin jetties will funnel you in. In front of you will be the Montauk Coast Guard Station. Transient dockage can be easily found at the Star Island Yacht Club and Uihlein’s Marina on the northern end of the lake, while Montauk Marine has the things you need most: ice, gas, groceries and more.

As late as 1927, Lake Montauk was still a freshwater lake, but the north side was blasted open that year in an attempt to turn Montauk into the “Miami of the North.” Did they succeed? No—but, then, Miami is no Montauk either.

Shadow-Caster President Brian Rogers holding final product in his laboratory.

Fall is always bittersweet. The boat gets put away for the season, but for me, out of sight is never out of mind. Fall is Boat Show Season, and this year especially, the Newport Boat Show made me want to skip winter altogether and jump right back on board. Knowing that I was not in the market to buy a new boat, I spent my time perusing the tents. I love seeing the latest and greatest innovations, and this years’ show did not disappoint!

One product in particular, Shadow-Caster LED Underwater Lighting, caught my attention right away. Sure, I had looked into underwater lighting before, but, to be honest, the thought of putting two huge holes in my boat in order to install them always stopped me in my tracks.

Shadow-Caster was different. The first thing that stood out was the fact that the hole needed for installation was only about the size of a dime. The second thing was the quality of the light—it just seemed so much brighter than models I had looked into previously.

But, alas, I left the show empty-handed, not being completely convinced that this was an alteration I was ready to make. When I got home, I decided to do some research on the company. I found out that Shadow-Caster was started in 2008 by two high school friends, Brian Rogers, an electrical engineer, and Jeff Pound, a mechanical engineer. They both had worked at cutting-edge companies where they honed their skills before starting their own company. The more I read, the more convinced I became that Shadow-Caster was the lighting system I had been looking for.

At the Fort Lauderdale Show a month later, I was on a mission—find Shadow-Caster—and I did! After speaking with Neil Fritz, their global product manager, who demonstrated their newest four-color underwater system, I was sold!

The next step was choosing a marina to install the system for me. I chose Hampton Marina in East Hampton, NY. They have a great reputation for craftsmanship and professionalism. Peter Mendelman, one of the owners, walked me through what would be done and reassured me that he had someone on his staff with extensive experience in these sorts of below-the-water-line instillations. And Shadow-Caster made his job easy by including all the hardware and wiring necessary for the job.

I felt good about leaving my boat in the capable hands of the Harbor Marina staff. By the end of the day, I received a call that the job was done and I could pick up the boat.

I gathered the family, and we hopped on board and brought the boat over to our mooring for our first overnighter. Just as the sun was going down, I asked my wife and daughter to take the dingy into the marina to get something from the car … The sun was all the way down as I watched them approach the boat once more. When they were about 100 yards away—I hit the switch!

I don’t know which lit up brighter, the bottom of the boat in the water or her face! She was surprised and overjoyed, and, two months later, the novelty has not worn off—she loves lighting up the night!

Thank you, Shadow-Caster!For more information on Shadow-Caster,

consider the thought process of Captain Kidd. When he was at his

devious best, he sought places to hide his treasure, and, according to local legend, he buried a portion of it here, on Charles Island, just outside Milford Harbor. No one will ever look for it here, he thought.

How times have changed.To find Milford, find the mouth of the Wepawaug River.

The Wepawaug rests between the majestic Connecticut River to the east and the Housatonic River to the west, two of New England’s most storied waterways. The Wepawaug’s mouth is north of Long Island’s Port Jefferson, and marks the entrance to Milford Harbor, really just the lower reaches of the river.

Coming from the west along the Connecticut shoreline, you’ll come to a long sandbar terminating at Charles Island. A red #16 flashing red bell buoy points out the end of the shoals extending off the island. Keep it to port and enter the body of water known as “The Gulf.” Coming at it from the east, you’ll spy a red #2 buoy that will clear you of Welches Point. From either angle, look toward the north for a red #4

buoy and the beginning of the channel that will bring you into Milford Harbor. Fort Trumbull Beach, off the port bow, and Gulf Beach, to starboard, will close in on you as you head for the jetties at the narrow entrance. Head upriver for Milford Landing near the head of the harbor. The marina, which caters specifically to transients, is easily discernible, a big brick headquarters building patriotically flying an American flag.

Once raw and undeveloped, like the rest of the New World in the days of Captain Kidd, Milford grew into one of the most important New England communities by the time of the American Revolution. The Boston Post Road, which ran from New York City to the Massachusetts capital, passed through town; today, Route 95 does the same. With the longest coastline of any Connecticut town, Milford claims six beaches, including Silver Sands State Park. The annual oyster festival is unrivaled, the arts community unequaled, and the town green the second-longest of its type in the entirety of the six-state New England region.

And if you haven’t gotten your mind off that buried treasure yet, take note: a tombolo stretching from Silver Sands allows walking access to Charles Island at low tide. Go for it.

in 2006, Connecticut Magazine rated the towns in the state. Guess which one was picked as the best place to live in Connecticut, as well as number one in the

leisure category?Yeah, baby.Old Saybrook is a blend of tradition and modernity, where

the Fourth of July still stirs the soul as it did a century ago, when American patriotism was at its highest. Expect fireworks. Plan on sidewalk sales. Schedule dinner around concert times.

And know that Old Saybrook’s history benefits you today. Riverboats carrying goods from factories up the Connecticut transferred them to oceangoing vessels here, and, as such, infrastructure like breakwaters were built for their protection. Those breakwaters will guide you into port today.

Scanning eastward from the main passage out of Long Island Sound and westward along the Connecticut coast from New London and Mystic, you’ll find the mouth of the Connecticut River. Your journey to Old Saybrook begins there, at the Saybrook Outer Bar Channel, by the 125-year-old Saybrook Breakwater Lighthouse, known as the outer breakwater light. Find it to find the path between the breakwaters, the only trustworthy passage

across the shifting sands at the mouth of the Connecticut. From the breakwater to the town, it’s a run of one and a half miles.

At the green #5 buoy, Lynde Point will pass to port as you roll northward. Farther on, also to port, is South Cove. The deep channel swings past shallow rocks to the east, and before you know it, Saybrook Point will be off to port. You can’t miss the Saybrook Point Inn, Marina and Spa, a first-class facility as fine as any in New England waters.

The marina considers your logistical needs—pump-outs, fuel, electricity—and your human desires. Food choices range from waterfront restaurants to the opportunity to grill up your own specialties dockside. If it’s a swimming pool that you need, take your pick, indoors or outdoors. Vehicle rentals are nearby.

The Old Saybrook Arts Festival turns 49 this year. The Connecticut River Museum holds an annual Mahogany Memories boat show, highlighting the early days of cruising. Stop by the museum to meet and mingle with longtime lovers of the sea. And as if Old Saybrook needed anything more, the Nature Conservancy named the tidelands of the Connecticut River as one of the “Last Great Places” on earth.

Yup, Old Saybrook knows what life’s all about.

mystic Seaport Museum defines itself as the museum of America and the sea. Start there, and you’ll

soon find yourself at the Mystic Aquarium, making eye contact with beluga whales, and ordering a “slice of heaven” from the waitresses at the original Mystic Pizza.

To find the Mystic Places region of southern Connecticut, find Fishers Island and the sound that bears its name east of Long Island’s Orient Point and north of Gardiners Bay. Be mindful that the sound is a rugged place studded with boulders, shoals and lobster trap buoys, so sticking to the channel here is an absolute necessity. The sound heads in an east-northeast direction toward the mainland. Once you’ve cleared the western end of Fishers Island and the Dumplings, a pair of sandy islets marked “North” and “South,” seek a black-and-red marker over Intrepid Rock. North of the rock is Groton Long Point, and directly northeast of the buoy is a green #1 buoy, marking the entrance to Mystic Harbor.

The channel turns to the north. Red #2 will keep you clear of Swimming Rock, and green #3 sits near Planet Rock. If Noank and Spicer’s Marina are your destination, break off

here and head around the western shore of Mouse Island—but beware of the shallow waters. Pick up the series of private aids to navigation, and you’ll be unable to miss Spicer’s in West Noank. Look for their 680-foot breakwater, knowing that behind it lies mooring for more than 140 boats, and the answers to any maintenance problem you might have, from rigging and splicing to bottom painting.

For Mystic, stay with the main channel and look for a red-and-green nun stamped “MH” for Mystic Harbor. The channel will turn slightly to port at this buoy, passing Noank #6. To port, you’ll see the old Morgan Point Lighthouse, which looks like a stately old home wearing a lantern room for a cap. Hug the Morgan Point coastline and the town of Noank. As it heads northward, the channel swings east to avoid Sixpenny Island, then generally runs northward again. The landmass to starboard is Mason Island. Once you’ve hit buoys #30 and #31, you’ll be alongside Willow Point and will be able to see Murphy Point to the northeast.

Keep an eye out for the Emma C. Berry, a Noank smack, a design found only here—another indication that you can be nowhere but the Mystic Places region.

Better than Ev er in the BVISeventeen years ago, Rob and I spent our honeymoon in the BVI. At that time, there was

only one company that had a powerboat for charter, and so we booked that one and only

powerboat—a trawler named Manana—from Barney Crook at TMM. We had the time of our

lives! Each morning, we would wake up, make breakfast and decide which island to hop to

next!

Times have changed, and now powerboaters have the pick of charter companies offering

everything from spacious Power Cats to 70-foot Motor Yachts. But some (very important)

things have not changed a bit! The water is as crystal clear as ever, the people are kind

and hospitable, there are no fast food restaurants or high-rise casinos, and the views are

spectacular from any vantage point. For our family, arriving in the BVI is like coming home!

We scheduled our visit to coincide with the Christmas holidays again this year and invited some friends to join us at LAMBERT BEACH RESORT. Resort Manager Victor Martac did everything in his power to make our stay enjoyable during the resort’s transition back to the original ownership. The good news is that plans are progressing and the resort will be better than ever for the 2012-13 season. Mr Leslie, former manager

of the resort, is back and is working tirelessly, together with Victor, to restore the resort to its former glory. www.lambertresort .com, 284.495.2877

Since the

restaurant at Lambert was closed for renovations during our visit, we had the opportunity to venture out a bit, as well as get creative with dining in.

We stocked up at the new RITE WAY in Road Town—what a store! Gone are the days of less-than-fresh produce, questionable meats, and hit-or-miss dairy and provisions. The new Rite Way Food Market is right up there with all the top U.S. groceries. Fresh-baked goods, a deli, two huge aisles of fresh produce, frozen food, fresh meat and seafood, and all the sundries and staples you could ask for. And they do provisioning, too—you can go to their website, www.rtwbvi.com, and have your order delivered to your boat, hotel or rental!

Dining Out:We have been following the development

of the SCRUB ISLAND RESORT AND

MARINA for years and have been very impressed with the innovations and attention to detail by Resort Manager, Martin Smith. The Scrub Island Marina offers 55 deep-water slips available for short or long term docking, including five specifically for larger mega-yachts up to 160 feet in length. They also have on-site provisioning as well as a dive shop and boutique in the Marina Village.

The resorts restaurants are open to the public, with specials such as their Caribbean Buffet on Monday evenings, with live steel pan band music, Tapas ‘n’ Tinis on Tuesday evenings, and Cheeseburger in Paradise Buffet on Friday evenings. They even provide free ferry service to and from the resort for those dining on the island- the ferry departs Beef Island – call the resort directly for departure times.

We enjoyed a fabulous dinner in their beautiful CARAVELA RESTAURANT—the food was delicious, and the service was impeccable, but it was the desserts that have us dreaming of our return next year! www.scrubisland.com, 284.440.3440

Later in the week, we traveled from Lambert Resort, on Tortola’s East End, over to NANNY CAY RESORT

AND MARINA on the island’s West End. They have really done a nice job of creating a beautiful beach and swimming area overlooking the Sir Frances Drake Channel. We arrived in the late afternoon, which gave us time to grab a drink from the BEACH BAR, go for a dip and enjoy the view of the boats crisscrossing the channel as the sun sunk slowly

into the water. Then we headed upstairs to the newly renovated PEG LEGS RESTAURANT where we enjoyed a delicious dinner of island favorites, fresh fish, Traditional West Indian Roti and Conch Fritters! Relaxed, child-friendly and fun! Call to make a reservation,

284.494 0028, www.nannycay.comOur daughter’s birthday falls

during the holidays, and she always get to choose where in the BVI to spend the day. Again this year, she chose the BITTER END! The staff at the Bitter End are like family and have watched Abby grow up over the years, so as soon as we stepped off the

North Sound Express, her “family” was waiting there to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Everywhere she went that day—from the dining room to say hello to the girls, to water sports to see Kinto, to the pool to see Martin—she was treated like a celebrity! What a fun day! We even went out for a super snorkel and came upon a flock of pink flamingos! I’ve said it before, and I will say it over and over again: No trip to the BVI is complete without a visit to the Bitter End! Just tell them Abby sent you! www.beyc.com, 800.872.3392

On the water!By far, the highlight of our trip was our day spent on the water.

We had so much fun a few years ago when we went out with

Dean, the owner of C&D POWERBOAT RENTALS. When we contacted him this year, he informed us that not only had he changed locations and was now located right down the road from Lambert at Major Bay, but he had upgraded his fleet of boats

and could take us out on his brand-new 35-foot Tiara.Captain Dean welcomed us aboard—the boat was

impeccably clean and stocked with soft drinks and snacks for the trip. We headed out along the north shore of Tortola, toward Jost Van Dyke, passing by SANDY SPIT and stopping at Diamond Cay for a quick dip in the “BUBBLY POOL.” Next, we headed over to NORMANS ISLAND for a little snorkeling in the caves, and then to the Bight for a bite of lunch at PIRATES! Life doesn’t get ANY better than having buckets of Bushwackers” delivered to you while floating in the cool, shallow water in front of Pirates … www.piratesbight.com, 284.496.7827, VHF Channels 16 & 69

Since we had kids on board, our final stop was their favorite: OCEANS 7 BEACH CLUB on Peter’s Island, and its giant in-water trampoline! www.oceans7online.com

There is truly no better way to see the BVI than by boat, even if it’s just for the day. Call Dean at 284.495.1401 or 284.542.9104, and enjoy some luxury island-hopping! www.cdpowerboats.com

Before heading home, Rob and I had the opportunity to attend the grand opening of the YCCS MARINA

VIRGIN GORDA. With this state of the-art Caribbean Superyacht Marina, Victor International and Yacht Club Costa Smeralda has set an unprecedented standard in the BVI, with the highest level of services and amenities.

The guests included His Excellency the Governor of the British Virgin Islands Mr Boyd McCleary, His Highness, the Aga Khan, and Princess Zahra Aga Khan; David Johnson of Victor International and his family; the Honurable Dr. Daniel Orlando Smith, OBE, Premier of the BVI, and his beautiful wife, Lorna; , Charles Tobias, owner of Pusser’s Rum and Pusser’s restaurants, and his lovely wife, Joanna; along with 300 distinguished guests from the BVI and around the world. (www.yccsmarina.com)

But, alas, all good things must come to an end, and so it was that we said adieu to the BVI … until next year …

this July, Newport welcomes the Tall Ships to port, and not for the first time. But every visit to the “Sailing Capital of the World”

is like starting over again, whether it’s to marvel at the ageless mansions or to see the world’s latest tennis champions in action. For calmer waters, a nature walk and a change of pace, Jamestown sits not that far away.

Northeast of Block Island and northwest of Martha’s Vineyard lies Aquidneck (the other name for the island Rhode Island), at the northern edge of Rhode Island Sound. The East Passage into Narragansett Bay bisects Brenton Point, the southwestern corner of Aquidneck Island, and, to its west, Beavertail Point, the southern tip of Conanicut Island, marked by a historic lighthouse. Keep to the eastern side of the passage, clearing the red #6 bell buoy near Butter Ball Rock and the Castle Hill Lighthouse and Coast Guard Station to starboard. Run up the channel to the northeast, and take a turn to the southeast around historic Fort Adams and its dock. Look off to the east for the green #1 marker at the southern end of Goat Island— that’s Brenton Cove, due south—and follow the channel into Newport Harbor. The Newport Yachting Center should be easy to find: It’s the biggest wharf you’ll see on the

eastern shore. Keep an eye out for racing buoys all summer long, as you won’t find them on any charts.

To reach Jamestown from the East Passage, cruise past Fort Adams, leaving it to starboard as you head north. Steer wide of the area known as the Dumplings off the Conanicut Island shore by staying outside the green #11 bell buoy, and watch for the channel markers to the northwest that will bring you into Jamestown.

If you arrive during the Tall Ships visit, July 5 to 9, you’ll see the Picton Castle, a 179-foot Welsh-built barque that still carries educational materials to South Pacific islands; the Providence, a replica of John Paul Jones’s first ship, and the state ship of Rhode Island; the 177-foot barkentine Gazela, a Portuguese-built Grand Banks fisherman; and more.

If not, you might hit a jazz festival, the Flower Show, the Black Ships Festival, boat shows, the International Tennis Hall of Fame championship tournament, or a visit by the U.S. Coast Guard training ship Eagle.

Then again, you may wish to sit by the sidelines on the Jamestown shore, and watch it all from not so far away. You choose.

when the sun rises off Block Island, it shines in a way not seen anywhere else. While time has ravaged most

of the great resorts of the East, Block Island has escaped such depredations. In fact, a sailor approaching the coast at sunrise today sees the same sights that Ulysses S. Grant did in 1875. The sun’s first rays touch facades of buildings that haven’t changed for more than a hundred years. And the summer party that started more than a century ago on Block Island rocks on today.

Perfectly positioned off both Newport and Montauk, Block Island is a crossroads of New York and New England. Stare into a storefront window at Red Sox gear and know that as you turn the corner, the next window—in the same store—will highlight Yankees gear. Could such a place actually exist?

To find it, if you’re coming out of Long Island Sound and into Block Island Sound, go east. If you’re coming west along the Rhode Island shore, pass Point Judith and head south-southwest. If you’re cruising up from New York City along the southern shore of Long Island, head east-northeast. Out

there in the distance ahead of you—that’s Block Island. To find the fun on Block Island, find its western shore.

The island is fringed by boulders and can shoal up quickly. Give it about a half-mile berth all the way around. Once you’ve found the west side, you’ll easily find the one opening, at Grace Point, two miles south-southwest of stately Block Island North Light. Stick safely to the channel into Great Salt Pond.

That channel is marked by a breakwater on the southwest side, which exhibits a light at its end. Clear the red #11 and green #12 buoys inside the harbor, and you’ve found “the Block.” Look for the biggest marina you can see, Champlin’s, and hail them on channel 68. They’ve got everything a boater needs, all the way down to a place to do some laundry before exploring the island.

The “season” lingers on Block Island longer than in most places, and you can expect the island to be hopping straight through to Columbus Day. Forty percent of the island is preserved as open space, so bikers, hikers, birders and more join the beach bums and boaters in worshipping the summer in this special place that time and regional rivalries forgot.

when you transit the Cape Cod Canal, you cruise through waters that first met barely a century ago. As the

grand scale of history goes, the waterway is still an infant.But the Bourne-Cataumet region has more of a history.

Take, for instance, the fact that Grover Cleveland once fished here so frequently that chart makers named a ledge after him. And glassblowing—yes, glassblowing—is officially 175 years old in 2012. The Pairpoint showroom is something not to be missed.

To find this wonderful place from Boston, and points north, enter the Cape Cod Canal from its eastern end, pass under the Sagamore, Bourne and railroad bridges, then simply follow the channel all the way to a red #2 buoy. Swing to port and head inside Wing’s Neck toward Red Brook Harbor.

If you’ve just come from Rhode Island Sound, approach the western end of the Cape Cod Canal. The main channel begins off the west end of Cuttyhunk, the last of the Elizabeth Islands chain, which runs for 14 miles back to the mainland to the east. You’ll run the entire chain, from Penikese to Uncatena. At the red #10 buoy, look to the north-northeast for

the Cleveland East Ledge Lighthouse and keep it to starboard as you enter Cleveland Ledge Channel. Beyond the green #7 and red #8 buoys, watch to the northeast for a red #2 nun buoy that marks Southwest Ledge off Scraggy Neck. Keep it to starboard and head for Red Brook Harbor.

To enter the harbor, find a red-and-green nun marking Eustis Rock, and when you do, look to the southeast for the channel that’ll swing you around the southern end and the extensive shoaling of Bassett’s Island. To the southeast is Hospital Cove. Run a horseshoe pattern to buoys #10 and #11. Once you’ve passed the tip of Long Point off to starboard, turn your eyes to the east. The Kingman Yacht Center has 235 slips, 130 moorings and a restaurant facing the sunsets over the harbor. Just to the south of Kingman’s is Parker’s Boat Yard. Check in with them for fuel, repairs and their marine store.

Welcome to Cape Cod! Kingman’s runs events throughout the summer, as do the local historical organizations, and even the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers interpretive staff. The second-oldest maritime school in the United States sits in the shadow of the 1933 Cape Cod Railroad Bridge. There’s plenty to see, and even more to do, on the banks of the canal.

it’s something even Massachusetts residents don’t really know: Hyannis is actually just a village of the greater town of Barnstable, and not a town

unto itself. But the growth of the village makes it seem that way. It’s the halfway point between the Cape Cod Canal and the Cape Cod National Seashore, the home of the Cape Cod Maritime Museum, which you can see when you come ashore, and even the place where Cape Cod Potato Chips are made. It’s Main Street, Cape Cod.

President John F. Kennedy learned to sail here, and his name resonates through town, from the museum dedicated to his life to the reflecting pool that overlooks his famed family’s offshore compound. Hyannis Harbor buzzes with activity, a place for both ferry riders heading for Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and transients utilizing Hyannis as the gateway to Cape Cod.

Speaking of which, let’s get you dockside. To find Hyannis Harbor from the west, split Horseshoe Shoal buoys #7 and #8, and watch for the red #2 buoy over Hodges Rock. Keep to the east of the rock by about 1,500 yards, and watch to the northeast for a red-and-white bell buoy marked “HH” for,

you guessed it, Hyannis Harbor. North of that, you’ll find the breakwater at the mouth of the harbor.

If you’re coming from the east, stay well clear of Point Gammon and its abandoned lighthouse, knowing that the approach can be exceedingly rocky. In fact, you’ll want to stay well south of Gazelle Rock, and even south of Hallett’s Rock to the south of that, which is, unfortunately, unmarked. Refer to your NOAA number 13237 chart for safety. Find that same “HH” buoy and the breakwater.

Hyannis Harbor divides its bountiful waterfront beauty with Lewis Bay, which makes up the northeast corner. It’s in the northwestern corner of the bay, though, where you’ll find your best chances of finding a place to tie up and step ashore.

A new information center, built as a replica of an old life-saving station, opens the world of restaurants and shops for which Hyannis is famous, from the local stores on Main Street to the national chain stores out on Route 132. “Hyannis” is a corruption of Iyannough, the name of an ancient sachem with the Mattachiest tribe known for his hospitality to the Pilgrims. The spirit he shared carries forward today through the people of Hyannis.

a century ago, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard sat in undisturbed peace off Cape Cod. Today, they rub elbows with the rich and famous. And so can you.

To find Nantucket, take the green #1 bell buoy, marking a shipwreck off the east end of Tuckernuck Shoal, before making your move to the south-southeast. The channel that will take you into Nantucket Harbor will head to the southeast. The wide, arcing landform of Nantucket’s north shore will spread before you. A red-and-white bell buoy marked “NB” will guide you into the dredged channel into the harbor, past one of the island’s signature lighthouses at Brant Point. The Nantucket Boat Basin, stop number one for transient cruisers looking for friends on the Faraway Island, is on the western side of the harbor beyond those landmarks.

Coming from the southwest of Martha’s Vineyard, look for the high, sandy bluffs known as Gay Head, marked by the brick Gay Head Lighthouse. Stay north of the green #31 buoy in the sound to steer clear of the Devil’s Bridge rocks, which claimed the City of Columbus in 1884. The channel heads northeastward. Ride it around a green #27 marking the

western end of the Middle Ground shoal area. Nine miles to the east-northeast you’ll find the other, eastern end of that hazard, marked by a green-and-red can buoy. Find that and you’ve found West Chop. Swing your way south between West and East Chops, and you’ve entered Vineyard Haven Harbor.

Next stop, Oak Bluffs. Leaving Vineyard Haven Harbor, roll to starboard around East Chop, and ease up on the throttle. Oak Bluffs will come up quickly, marked by jetties. Inside this small harbor, you’ll find the Oak Bluffs Marina, the largest marina on Martha’s Vineyard.

On to Edgartown Harbor! Cruise to the east-southeast for a red #2 bell buoy, heeding the green-and-red can buoy marking Squash Meadow to the north. The bell buoy will put you on the approach to Edgartown Harbor to the south. Follow the channel past #3, #4 and #6, keeping Cape Poge Light and the spit of sand known as Cape Poge Elbow to port as you go. Round the red #8 and head for the inner harbor, around Chappaquiddick Point.

Pick a port, grab lunch and let island time begin.
