EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Marsh

Continuity and awareness

Agreat source of satisfaction for this editor is thefact that both founders of Points East – cruisersSandy Marsters and Bernie Wideman – still

participate in the maga-zine years after they soldit to publisher Joe Burke. Sandy, of course, is our

media reviewer – books,websites, videos, movies,etc. – and the two wordshis reviews most fre-quently evoke are“thoughtful” and “intelli-gent.” Bernie, former pa-tron saint of the PointsEast Fundy Flotillas, is avalued consultant, aproofreader when he’s notsailing, and he forwardsnews and commentary hebelieves I should be awareof. A recent e-missiveread:“The April issue of

“Smithsonian” magazinehas a small piece on thelaunching of the sail-training vessel Oliver HazardPerry . . . . I found the warning of the skipper to anyonehoping to board the vessel for a little sea time verywise and appropriate. There is one condition that pas-sengers must obey: No cell phones.”“A ship is very immediate,” said Capt. Richard Bai-

ley in the “Smithsonian” article. “You have to be listen-ing and watching. You need to be in the moment, andthere aren’t a lot of opportunities like this in the wayour culture has evolved.” And, for us recreationalmariners, there is so much more to be inferred by thispithy quote.A few years back, a friend of mine made landfall on

the Bahamas after a transatlantic crossing. Before go-ing off watch, in the gathering darkness, he told hisyoung crewman, who was passionate about his music,to keep the headphones off his ears while on watch, tolisten for the sounds of breaking seas, a sure sign thata coral reef was near. A couple of hours later, the boatwent up on a reef, and the crewmember admitted tolistening to his tape player when should have kept hisears perked and his eyes peeled for seat-of-the-pantspiloting. The skipper, a consummate seaman, was ableto get his vessel off the reef before any damage was in-curred to the hull.

Years ago, a friend invited me to accompany him ona passage from Shelburne, Nova Scotia, to Pada-narum, Mass.. In light air and a dense fog, we ghosted

toward Race Point, at thetip of Cape Cod, closelymonitoring the radar aswe sailed, but spotting notargets. As we set a course for

the east end of the canal,we heard a diesel enginerunning at low rpm. Wedouble-checked the radar:Nothing. But the gutturalpurr grew louder. Per-plexed, we began blowingour foghorn so the ghostship would know it wasn’talone. Before long, a fiber-glass-hulled powerboatmaterialized out of thesoup, its presence unnotedby our radar, which per-formed famously acrossthe mouth of the Bay ofFundy and through the

fishing fleets. Our radar unit simply did not get a goodreturn off that fiberglass hull. In this case, silence –and situational awareness – were virtues.Two friends are soon going on a windjammer cruise

aboard the schooner Mercantile, run by Capt. Ray andAnn Williamson’s Maine Windjammer Cruises out ofCamden. In their cruise packet is a heads-up entitled“Things You May Want to Forget,” and among theseare “cell phones and laptops (if they must be brought,use discreetly only), the office and stress.”Capt. Bailey has it right: “You need to be in the mo-

ment, and there aren’t a lot of opportunities like thisin the way our culture has evolved.” Bob Kerr, in his July 9 “Providence Journal” column,

put it this way: “We’ve taken the miracle of human in-vention and let it run away with us. It has turned usdull and unaware. We walk into each other as we staredumbly at that screen.”One thing’s certain: The students and passengers,

respectively, on the Oliver Hazard Perry and the Mer-cantile will hear the cries of the seabirds, the tollingof bell buoys, the roaring of their vessels’ bow waves,the mournful wails of lighthouse horns, the slappingof the sails in a wind change, and the wash of the seaagainst New England’s shores. Bliss.

Maine Windjammer Cruises discourages cell-phone and laptopuse aboard the Mercantile, above, and its other vessels.

LettersDelight, wonder in the kids’ facesThe July issue of Points

East is superb, and thanksfor finally publishing a mys-tery harbor I recognize –Bristol, R.I., from the Her-reshoff dock.But what prompted me to

write this was the photogra-pher’s superb eye for aphoto: That cover shot is justamazing. It’s really andtruly quintessential NewEngland in every way, fromthe conservative, grown-up-lady attire that the young girl is wearing, which takesus back in spirit to an earlier age, to the lad in his

Black Dog T-shirt, both of them sharing the helm. But most of all, their expressions, which make the

photo and captured them at the perfect moment. Bothkids’ faces reflect the combined delight and sense ofwonder they are feeling in the moment, steering thatgundalow together, sharing the experience (althoughthe girl, a few years older and probably the lad’s sister,has the real control of the wheel! Thus is it always).Oh to be a kid again and feel that excitement of dis-

covery – something in this case that those two young-sters will probably remember the rest of their lives.It’s a charming scene, and there is a sweetness aboutit that makes one happy just to look at it. This is onepicture that is indeed worth a thousand words – evenmore.

Providence is Official Tall ShipThank you for the article in Points East (“Magical

History Tours,” July). Providence really needs the at-tention, and I am very grateful for the opportunity toremind the community of her activities.There is however a correction: The article reads (“. .

. the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry is the state’s official TallShip.” This is not correct. This is very important as theOHP has tried to take our titles. Alas, the State ofRhode Island protected Providence’s titles with aphone call from our state representative to inform usand, in turn, gave OHP the official status of OfficialSailing Education Vessel.I love Tall Ships, and it’s great there is interest in a

new one, but we cannot let the existing Tall Ships beleft behind.

Nichole RaabTall Ship Providence

Newport, R.I.Editor’s note:We regret that misinformation about

the Providence (a wonderful vessel I have seen as farafield as the Great Lakes, some of whose builders Iknew) was published in Points East. But we are con-fused, Nichole. The Perry’s website refers to the OHP as“Rhode Island’s Tall Ship.” Your website refers to theProvidence as the “state-appointed Official Flagshipand Official Sailing Ambassador.” Can someone helpclarify this?

Mary loves ‘Magical History Tour’I was wowed by your jam-packed July issue. Just

wanted to let you know, from a non-nautical type, thatI loved the “Magical History Tour” by Sue Cornell, andI am even familiar with several of the vessels you pro-filed. And, of course, many thanks for listing Pumpoutfacilities in Maine, including ours. Happy sailing.

and pitiless house of correction where staffers can con-template their attention lapses. For the next three weeks,it’s hardtack and water for this man, who allowed authorDavid Stanwood’s bio note to appear at the end of GregCoppa’s fascinating July Last Word, “100 Years ofHerrshoff 121⁄2s.” The bio should have read: Greg Coppa has been sailing

on Narragansett Bay for over 50 years in Blue Jays,Lightnings, Ensigns, assorted Bristols and Pearsons, andmost recently in a Sabre 28, Coppacetic. He is a Presi-dential Awardee in Science (1992) and an Albert EinsteinCongressional Fellow (1996), and he participated in aFulbright program in Hanamaki and Morioka, Japan(1997). Apologies to both Greg and David.

Bristol, R.I. Your clue (“It’s a kind of fashion”) led meto believe that this is the answer. I think the picturewas taken near the Herreshoff Marine Museum.But with any clue, I had to prepare an

appropriate answer. I paused to perusethe picture and find preferred prose.“Bristol fashion” could make a BostonBrahmin burst a blood vessel. But as Iremember, “Bristol fashion” had to dowith varnish. Varnish has vanishedfrom my vessel.The Bristol Yacht Club has the best

dinghy docks I have ever seen. The docks are slanteddown to the water’s edge. Dinghies can be pulled upon them, leaving the bottom clean and the drain open.And there are five of them. I hope my yacht club getsthe idea to copy this design.Normally, my sailing is north of the Cape, and in

Maine waters. When we bought a new (used) boat (aFreedom 35), we wanted to take it to Warren RiverBoatworks for some changes. We needed a place tomoor overnight on the way. I borrowed a mooring inBristol from another Blue Water Sailing Club member.The harbor is easy to enter and we spent a quiet night. After that, we have visited Warren and Bristol sev-

eral times by car. There are restaurants for everytaste. I still drive down regularly, as I take our sails toThurston Quantum Sails in Bristol.And that is how I was able to recognize the view

from the museum.Stephen LeeS/v Salacia

Marblehead, Mass.

Editor’s note:According to “The Dictionary of Nau-tical Literacy” (International Marine, 2001), the acco-lade “Bristol fashion” was first used in the seaport of

Bristol, England – in the phrase“shipshape and Bristol fashion”– inreference to a vessel or detail main-tained or executed in a seamanlikemanner. “The phrase also [is] appliedto Bristol, R.I., home to the HerreshoffManufacturing Company, whichserved as one of America’s leadingyachting centers.”

Last there for the ’08 J/30 N/AsI believe that is Bristol (R.I.) Harbor. The last time

we were there was for the 2008 J/30 North Americans.My family is from Bristol, and some still live there. Iwas the delivery crew for a J/30 out of Salem.

PerspectivesCan the Grim Reaper swim?

As we rounded Cape Ann and left thetwin towers of Thacher Island astern,my old friend Bryan reached into his

pocket, pulled out a fist full of change, andthrew the coins over the side. I gave him aquizzical look. “Change doesn’t belong at sea,”he said, as he settled his 220-pound frame backdown in tiny Chang Ho’s cockpit. “Well, you should have saved one coin,” I

said.He gave me that quizzical look right back.

“Why, some kind of superstition thing?”“Well, sort of.” I paused and adjusted the

tiller pilot a bit to put the 25-foot Cape Dorysloop on our 100-plus-mile course, directly to MatinicusIsland, one of the more remote inhabited Maine coast is-lands. “We’ll need that coin if we go down,” I continued.“Huh?”“So we can flip for it.”

Quizzical look number three. “Flip for what?”“For our lives; well, to be precise, for your life

or my life. You see, I only have one survival suiton board.”“You’re kidding, right?”“Hell, Bryan, they’re 300 bucks apiece.”“And what am I worth, then?”I shrugged. “Well, you’re a darned good

friend, but I do have other friends, so if any-thing happens … well, you know. And I saidwe’d flip for it.”Anyway, it never came to that. Thinking about drowning isn’t fun, but the

physiology of drowning is pretty interesting. But wewon’t go there today. If you’re really interested, there’san informative and rather graphic chapter in SebastianJunger’s classic, “The Perfect Storm.” I’ve almost drowned a few times, getting an early start

at age five when our family cruising cutter was raftedup with Mr. and Mrs. Partridge’s 43-foot Matthews cabincruiser. We were anchored for the evening in a cozy covebehind World’s End in Hingham, Mass. I awoke to thesound of a several small splashes, made distinct by theabsolute stillness of the dawning day. Excited about fishing, I crept quietly past my parents’

bunks, climbed the cabin ladder, dutifully donned mylifejacket, grabbed my drop line and can of worms fromthe cabin-top, and tiptoed along the deck to a place alongthe rail that had the biggest space between the fendersof the two rafted boats. It was so quiet that I could hearlight snoring sounds through the open portholes of bothvessels. After baiting my hook with a choice, fat worm, I un-

wound my drop line, adjusted the sinker a bit, and low-ered it all into the darkness of the water between thetwo hulls. I waited, gently lifting my sinker up and downa foot or so off the bottom, when something flashed bybetween the hulls. Excited, I got down on my stomachand peered into the depths. But my bulky old fashionedlifejacket prevented me from squeezing between theshrouds and other rigging. I needed to get closer to the water, so I removed my

lifejacket and leaned lower, my belt buckle hooked on theboat’s big toerail. I leaned too far. When the buckleslipped over the rail, the rest of me slipped, too, and I fol-lowed the route of my drop line. The waters of the quietcove swallowed me – hook, line and sinker. Odd, but it was even quieter down there, after I’d fin-

ished with my panicked flailing. Kind of peaceful, actu-ally. Then, mysteriously, I rose upward from one strong,steady pull on the top of my head. It was the large handof Mr. Partridge grabbing my hair. He had just arisen tomake coffee, when he thought he’d heard a splash. There were other close calls as my waterborne life con-

tinued, but I’ll spare you the details. To this day, I don’tlike swimming, preferring to be on the water and not init. When I am in it, which is rarely due to recreationaldesire, it’s usually to free a line on a prop or scrub thewaterline. Even then, I’m often looking over my shoul-der, figuring the Grim Reaper is only a half-stroke be-hind me. I still have the one survival suit, now aboard Elsa, my

current boat. Other than my son and daughter trying itout in a swimming pool years ago, it’s never seen thelight of day nor felt the water. I’ve made only one modi-fication: In the little round zipper lubricant containerclipped to the suit’s bag, I’ve added a coin. Just to be fair,in case we go down. Oh, one last thing: Soon I’ll be shoving off for my usual

trek to Maine, and I do need crew. Any takers? Dave Roper’s book, “Watching for Mermaids,” which

climbed to No. 4 on the “Boston Globe” Best-Sellers List,is available through www.amazon.com. His new book,“Learning the Ropes,” will be out in 2014.

GUEST PERSPECTIVE/Andrew T. Osborne

How did Puggy know?

George Shiverick descended from the familywhich owned the Shiverick Shipyard nearSesuit Harbor in Barnstable, Mass. They were

best known for building clipper ships and had theirheyday in the 1850s. Many of the clippers then were“one-way” ships – sailing around the Horn and eitherbeing lost there or abandoned in San Francisco or LosAngeles.George moved to Kingston, Mass., from the Cape

and started up a boatyard on the Jones River, whichflows into Kingston Bay. There he became legendaryin yachting circles for building fast sloops. It is saidthat at one time the entire Duxbury Yacht Club rac-ing-sailboat team consisted of Shiverick boats. But healso built many pleasure and fishing boats, and re-tired in 1940 saying, “No one will pay $300 to $400anymore for a quality boat.”My cousin’s husband, Warren, had in the 1950s and

’60s a 1939 20-foot Shiverick cuddy cabin boat namedSnork with a small Gray Marine engine. We oftenfished from it off Gurnet Point, at the end of DuxburyBeach, with Warren’s ever-present female boxerPuggy. We were far enough out as to barely see TheGurnet on a hazy day in August – the sea glassy, butwith tall rolling swells from a storm far offshore –when Puggy jumped up and began looking intentlyto the east and barking furiously. We looked and looked as she went crazy and even-

tually saw a blow of spray about a quarter mile away– unmistakably a whale. But what really concernedus was that the next one was much closer and on a

track directly toward us. Puggy was now practicallyturning inside out with excitement, and we werewondering if the next surface and blow would beright under us, but it came well off our bow to thesouth, and we saw no more sign of it.Puggy quickly forgot her excitement, and when we

weren’t watching, ate three or four mackerel prettymuch whole. We only caught on when we saw the tailof the last one disappearing down her gullet. But, tothis day, we’ve wondered, How did she know? Way be-fore we had any inkling, Puggy knew that whale wasout there. We think she may have heard some whale-communication sounds beyond the range of our hu-man ears. We don’t think it was the blow, becauseother boats had passed by and she never even liftedan eyebrow, and besides, she wasn’t even looking.Must have been – had to have been – what she heardas she lay with her ear to the hull. Even more amaz-ing, she knew exactly which way to look.Snork nearly rotted away full of leaves and squirrel

nests in a backyard in Kingston, but she was boughtfor restoration by a Duxbury boatyard in the 1980s. Ilost track of her then.

GUEST PERSPECTIVE/Russ Roth

Just when you think . . .

Just when you think there are no more surprisesleft for you. The Coast of Maine always has onemore trick up her sleeve.

It is Aug. 30, about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Martyand I have spent the day shuffling cars between Rock-land, Maine, and Portsmouth, N.H. This is the weekendthat we move Skiya from Rockland to her other homein Portsmouth. We are always a little sad to leavePenobscot Bay, but now it is time to say good-bye for an-other season. With all of our errands accomplished, there is really

no good reason to spend tonight in Rockland. I’m men-tally in “delivery mode,” and we can save a good threehours if we leave now and head down to Tenants Har-bor. The only problem is, the wind is blowing about 15knots from the southwest and the tide is just startingto pull in. Under the best of circumstances, this meansa longer trip than originally planned. But, what theheck, I don’t feel like sitting here. Marty feels basically the same, and in short order we

are on our way. We put the mainsail up at the mooring,and now we are moving out of the harbor with the wind

on our quarter. Everything is fine, except the wind isbuilding and the first bit of fog is snaking around OwlsHead. Maybe this is not the best of plans. I start tothink about alternative anchorages along Muscle Ridge.As we round Owls Head, any thoughts of sailing to

Tenants are dashed. The apparent wind is now 25 andgusting to 30 right on our nose. The engine gets crankedup and I take a deep reef in the mainsail. If Skiya has an Achilles heel it’s an undersized engine

for situations like this. We now have the wind againstus, and to add to the fun, we are against a good twoknots of current. Oh, and just when you start to thinkthis really sucks, here comes the fog to make it more in-teresting.Now we need to make a decision: Turn around and

head back to Rockland or plod along for six more milesand anchor at High and Dix at the top of Muscle Ridge.We decide on High and Dix and continue on makingabout two to three knots over the bottom. To our surprise, we are not the only boat seeking shel-

ter here. There is a trawler already anchored, and an-other sailboat limps in from the opposite direction. We

Points East August 2014 [email protected]

pick our spot and drop our anchor. Satisfied that thewind protection and holding ground is sufficient for acomfortable night’s sleep, it’s time to relax a little. ForMarty and I, it’s a vodka rocks and a game of Scrabble. Just at the point in our evening when we start to

think, what’s for dinner, Marty hears an engine in thefog. We can just make out a small boat working its wayaround the end of the island. And what really gets ourattention are the two large pots sitting on the transom.Marty is the first to say what I’m already thinking:Here comes dinner. Sure enough, this beautiful old launch pulls along

the side of Skiya. This is when we meet Reilly Harvey,Captain and Chef of Mainstay Provisions. Reilly in-stantly becomes our best friend. Anyone who shows upon a night like this to feed us is OK in my book.To our amazement Reilly prepares our dinner on the

transom of her launch. Large pots are set to boil, andthe shellfish is cooked to perfection. All of her offerings,listed on a chalkboard, are fresh and locally obtained.While the pots are boiling, we get a chance to chat withReilly. She has been cooking like this all summer. Shealso does catering jobs, and many of the local islandhomes use her cheffing talents for parties. She told usthat, in the winter months, she cooks at one of therestaurants in Rockland.When Reilly found out that this night was Marty’s

birthday, she insisted on providing the dessert, a hand-held blueberry pie confection, at no charge. Needlessto say it was a very special evening, and we were sopleased to have made a new friend on the coast ofMaine.Anyone traveling to Maine this summer should put

this info in their logbook: Reilly Harvey, Mainstay Pro-visions, 207-691-9227, www.mainstayprovisions.com.The next morning, we continued on our way to

Portsmouth. We’ve had lots of time to think about din-ner with Reilly and how much fun it is going to be tojoin her in Dix Harbor this summer.

NewsBoatbound unites boat owners and rentersIf you’ve ever owned a boat, you know the excite-

ment that comes with the start of boating seasonand the feeling of freedom that comes as you leavethe dock. You know the peace you can only achieveon the open water, and the happiness that comeswith spending idle hours with family and friends. You also know the dreaded feeling of paying to

maintain a boat, because, let’s face it, owning a boatcan be really, really expensive.But this season, a “pier-to-pier” boat rental mar-

ketplace, Boatbound, is setting out to change that.Boatbound allows boatless boat lovers to rent boatsfrom boat owners when they aren’t using them. It’sa win-win situation, as the boat owner can offsetthe cost of boat ownership by bringing in some wel-come new revenue, and renters are able to get outon the water in an accessible and affordable way.Boatbound is free to join, has no membership

fees, and every Boatbound rental includes up to $1"Shopping" for a boat to rent couldn't be easier using the Boat-bound website, which usually has pictures of the boat and it'sowner, the asking price, and a handy calendar.

If you’ve been following the 38thvoyage of the 173-year-old barque,the Charles W. Morgan, you knowthat she has been fully restored bythe Mystic Seaport Museum, hasvisited the ports of New London,Conn., and Newport, R.I., and re-cently left Vineyard Haven, Mass.,bound for New Bedford, her oldhomeport. The Charles W. Morgan had never

sailed to Martha’s Vineyard before,but Vineyarders were a proud partof her history. Her first captain wasfrom Martha’s Vineyard, as wereseveral other of the Morgan’s cap-tains. Many of her sailors and crew-men, including Wampanoag Indian

C.W. Morganmakes a callto the Vineyard

Martha's Vineyard's connection with the recently restored Charles W. Morganruns deep: the Morgan's first captain was a Vineyarder, and many of her crewwere, as well, including Wampanoag Indian harpooners.

harpooners, also hailed from the Island. The Charles W.Morgan’s June visit to Vineyard Haven commemoratedand celebrated Vineyarders’ contributions to her suc-cessful and lucrative career. A flotilla of Vineyard boats met the Morgan as she

sailed past Gay Head from Newport, gaining in numberas she rounded West Chop and headed towards Vine-yard Haven harbor. She spent several days at the dock,so that Vineyarders and visitors alike could tour herand the several whaling and marine exhibitions thatsurrounded her on shore. Just off her decks, would-beseamen took turns learning how to row the whaleboats.Later this summer, she sails to Provincetown, visits

the Stellwagen Bank National Marine (right whale)Sanctuary, sails to Boston, where she’ll be tied up nextto the USS Constitution, and, on the way back to Con-necticut, she stops at the Massachusetts MaritimeAcademy to celebrate the 100th anniversary of theCape Cod Canal.It was a thrilling experience to see the Morgan and

marvel at her long history and the time and talent thatwent into making her seaworthy once more. This voy-age, one of commemoration of the past and marine ed-ucation for the future, is perhaps her most importantone. Try to catch a glimpse of her under sail or at port,or visit her when she is back at Mystic. FMI: www.mys-ticseaport.org.

The 1841 whaleship Charles W. Morgan sailed for thefirst time in almost a century on Sat., June 7, on the firstday of sea trials for her 38th voyage. The ship cast offfrom City Pier in New London at 9:30 a.m. and proceededout onto Long Island Sound, where she spent the day con-ducting sail training drills and maneuvers. She returned toNew London at 3:30 p.m.“The ship exceeded all expectations and performed won-

derfully. She is faster than we thought she would be, sheturns easier, and she handles really well. We could not bemore pleased,” said Capt. Kip Files, the 22nd master ofthe Morgan. “Capt. Files told me that once out of Quicks Hole from

the Vineyard, he gave her her head and she hit speeds pur-ported to be around eight knots, without even trying or fullsails,” reported William A. Lawrence II, of South Dart-mouth, Mass. “There will be higher numbers, the captainsaid. I imagine he will let her fly when she starts to cruisethe Stellwagen Bank.“She is so heavy that it takes quite while to bring her up

to speed, Capt. Files told me. He said she will have to re-turn to New London at the end of the cruise to de-ballast(lead) so she can return up the Mystic River.”“There is no one alive today who has sailed one of these

whaleships who can tell us how they perform,” said Capt.Files, “so we really learned a lot today. We have a greatvoyage ahead of us.”

Floating historyTwo of Columbus’ ships, the Pinta (left) and Niña – replicas used as “floating museums” by The Columbus Foundation, inthe BVI – were spotted in Bristol, R.I., earlier this summer. Amazingly, given her diminutive size, (about 50 feet length-on-deck) the original Niña was sailed 25,000 miles by Columbus before her disappearance in 1501.

On June 23, Coast Guard crews coordinated with com-mercial vessels to rescue a man approximately 450 milessoutheast of Cape Cod, Mass. The 1st Coast Guard Dis-trict Command Center in Boston received notification at9:30 p.m., Sunday June 22 from the Joint Rescue Coor-dination Center in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that the Bel-gium-flagged 42-foot sailing vessel Vagrant, with oneperson on board, was taking on water at a rate of one gal-lon-per-hour and was experiencing heavy winds andseas.When the vessel missed scheduled satellite phone calls

Monday morning, the Coast Guard launched an HC-144Ocean Sentry from Air Station Cape Cod and a C-130Hercules aircraft from Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C. totry to locate the vessel. The USSNew York and multiple

commercial vessels also responded to assist.The C-130 crew spotted the sailing vessel adrift with

tattered sails. Unable to raise the vessel on the radio, theC-130 dropped a communications package, but 40-knotwinds and 16-foot seas prevented the sole crewmemberfrom the Vagrant from recovering it. The motor vesselKuala Lumpur Express was the first commercial vesselon scene, and made a close quarters pass to formulate arescue plan. The motor vessel Hoegh Maputo arrived forsecondary support.The crew of the Kuala Lumpur Expressmade a second

pass, and lowered a small boat to extract the man fromthe vessel. The crew reported that the man was in goodhealth and uninjured. FMI: ww.coastguardnews.com.

With their big fleets, the 635-mile Newport BermudaRaces usually have a few retirements. This year,among the 164 starters, 10 teams dropped out, mostlydue to relatively small but nagging gear failures, con-straints on the crew’s schedule, or (to quote one com-petitor) “lack of forward progress.” But also this year,a threat of serious damage led to an extraordinary re-sponse.Halfway into the race, the bottom bearing of the rud-

der broke on the Taylor 41 Wandrian, a Class 3 entryhailing from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and sailed by BillTucker and eight other Canadian sailors.Tucker put a secondary “dam” in place to hold out

the water. The crew cut out the bottom of a bailingbucket, split the remaining bucket in two, secured thetwo pieces around the rudder-post with 4200 adhesive,finished off the dam with silicone to fill remaining thecracks and holes – and crossed their fingers.Taylor succinctly described the danger after the boat

pulled up to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club pier onWednesday morning: “Our challenge was this: If therudder-post broke, we’d have a six-inch hole in the bot-tom of the boat.” All this 300 miles from the nearestshore.Deciding to continue on to Bermuda and request as-

sistance from another vessel, Tucker made calls overVHF radio at 12:30 p.m. EDT on Sunday, June 22. Dueto a weak connection, the transmission was not ideal,but his message was heard by Rocket Science, a Class4 entry owned and sailed by Rick Oricchio. Oricchioestablished a radio watch to check in regularly withWandrian, and got in touch with the race’s Fleet Com-munications Office.As the FCO learned of Wandrian’s problems on Sun-

day afternoon, so did the crews of two other boats lessthan five miles away. They happened to be two classicwooden yachts designed by Sparkman & Stephens: the

68-foot 1938 yawl Black Watch, commanded by JohnMelvin, and the 52-foot 1930 yawl Dorade, whoseowner and skipper is Matt Brooks.Black Watch’s afterguard – Melvin, navigator Peter

Rugg, and watch captains Lars Forsberg and JamieCummiskey – decided that their larger vessel was bestqualified to stand by and escort Wandrian toBermuda.Dorade continued racing while her big cousin began

the voyage in her new role as Wandrian’s shadow. The two crews engaged in hourly radio communica-

tions, with regular reports to the race Fleet Commu-nications Office. Meanwhile, Black Watch’s sailorswrestled with an unfamiliar seamanship problem: howto sail slowly enough to shepherd a smaller boat. Inthe frequent calms, the two boats doused headsailsand turned on engines. The sight of two such differentsailing yachts powering side by side so far out in theocean befuddled their competitors.This shepherd-and-sheep relationship continued un-

til the two boats neared St. David’s Head in the earlyhours of Wednesday and Black Watch sailed across thefinish line at 2:22 a.m. Wednesday morning, nearly twoand a half days after her crew volunteered for this re-markable assignment. FMI: www.bermudarace.com.

Investigators pinpoint cause of Y.C. fireShortly before midnight on June 12, a three-alarm fire erupted

at the Eastern Yacht Club in Marblehead, Mass. Investigators de-termined the cause to be an electrical problem, specifically “resis-tance heating” at a junction box serving several chandeliers on thesecond floor.Firefighters were dispatched to the club at 11:56 p.m. Thursday,

arriving three minutes later. A second alarm was quickly struckwhen Capt. Elizabeth Wilson, who served as incident commanderuntil Chief Jason Gilliland arrived on scene, saw flames on the out-side of the building and spreading into the eaves. The third alarmwas struck shortly after 1 a.m., as firefighters opened up thebuilding’s roof to battle the flames.While the fire itself was contained to the attic and a couple of

rooms on the third floor, the building sustained extensive waterdamage from the building’s sprinkler system, as the gushing waterbrought down ceilings.The clubhouse at the Eastern Yacht club dates back to 1881,

R.I. to receive $7.5M in Federal aidRhode Island is slated to receive $7.5 million in Federal aid

intended to make the state and its coastline more resilient tosevere weather. The funds are part of $102.7 million that theU.S. Department of the Interior announced it will be distribut-ing in matching grants for East Coast resiliency projects. Thelargest Rhode Island grant will go toward the $3.25-millionrestoration of a 30-acre marsh at Ninigret Pond within thepond’s barrier and coastal lagoon. Middletown won a grant for a $2.3-million project to restore

habitat in the Maidford River area of Sachuest Bay. The pro-ject’s goals include improving water quality, fish and wildlifehabitats and beach dunes.The University of Rhode Island won a $870,000 grant to fi-

nance its continuing participation in the state’s developmentof the so-called Beach SAMP (strategic area managementplan). An additional $1.3 million has been earmarked for vari-ous other resilency studies in Rhode Island, as well as sev-eral multi-state storm-preparedness studies that involveRhode Island.

How do you find a new cruisingdestination? Yes, I know, thisgives us all pause. Do we simply

revisit the old harbors and rivers,maybe hitting them from a different an-gle, or do we just take a chance? Maybewe read that certain article that con-vinces us to take a chance. I happened to find a great destination

without even knowing it: I simplymoved there. That locale would be West-port, Mass., and I am talking about theWestport River and Westport Harbor.But it wasn’t really as simple as that. Iwas keeping my 33-foot Grady-Whitepowerboat, Billou, in Padanaram Har-bor in South Dartmouth, Mass., and en-joyed a great location with short rides tothe Elizabeth Islands. Even though Ilived in Westport, when I cruised Buz-zards Bay and Rhode Island Sound, Iwouldn’t even give Westport Harbor andriver a thought. I would just cruisedown the middle of Buzzards Bay andpass right by Westport on my way toNewport or Block Island. The thing is,unless one is looking for the mouth ofthe Westport Harbor, one can easilymiss it. This one particular day, I was working

in my yard and had a chance encounterwith a newly arrived neighbor. Pre-dictable small talk ensued until we re-alized that we both owned boats and

fished a lot. He asked where I kept my boat, I told him,and he questioned why I didn’t call Westport Harbormy homeport. I told him that, for some reason, I neverchecked it out. He simply smiled and said, “Let’s havea look around, shall we?” That, my friends, is what youcall a defining moment.Well, after that initial cruise and a few more after

that, I moved my boat to the Westport River the fol-lowing year, and have been cruising, fishing and ex-ploring every nook and cranny for the last five years. The Westport River is made up of two parts, the East

Branch and the West Branch. These branches meetand create Westport Harbor. The harbor has a lot tooffer, with restaurants, moorings and beaches; it’s aplace you have to explore to believe. But let’s slow itdown just a bit: First, let’s get you into the harbor, achallenge that at times is best addressed by the sea-soned boater. Do not try and cheat, thinking the short-est distance between two points is a straight line. Thisdoes not work out well for you around the entrance toWestport Harbor (or when boating in general). If you are coming from the east and are staying out

in the middle of Buzzards Bay, then simply comearound G “1” and follow the buoys right into the har-bor. But as you come around Hen and Chickens shoalyou’ll see the remnants of what locals call “the cementbarge.” This is the wreck of the Angela, a 425-footbarge in tow bound for Boston in 1971, carrying 70,000

barrels of dry cement. In a thick fog and a building sea,her towline parted. The crew anchored the Angela andmade for port to wait out the rough conditions. Whenthe wind and tide changed she swung around andgrounded on Old Cock, a rock near the southern tip ofHen and Chickens. So there the cement barge sits, as a warning sign for

the area, I like to think. If you’re coming from the eastand are hugging the coast, there’s a small cut-throughHen and Chickens that is marked by N “2” and N “4”,

The cement barge, the wreck of the Angela, is a landmarkfor mariners off Hen and Chickens shoal.

They’d view the oldboathouses that reach out into the calm river, turn upthe music, and BuzzardsBay was forgiven. Once you have made it

At my ma-rina, I have to avoid oldrock footings that oncewere part of the old oxenbridge that pulled a bargefrom Westport Point toCherry & Webb Road. The sunsets over the

harbor will turn the skyto a multitude of colorsyou simply can’t believe.The point is, I guess, thatsome places have it all –from the challenges ofcruising there to the re-wards once you arrive –and Westport is one ofthese. I must admit I have a

problem with the fast pace at which summer flies by,but I have taught myself a trick. When I feel the boat-ing season is speeding by too fast, I start to chant to

myself over and over, “Inthe moment, in the mo-ment,” to remind myselfof how lucky I am to beright where I am.

Outside it is clear to the north, to-ward Searsport, but I can see dense fog coming ourway up the bay from seaward. Also coming our way area couple of windjammers easing along in the light airs

This is the only serious commercialshipping in the area, and I wouldn’t care to encounterit in the fog in an engineless boat.

approach Turtle Head in misty sunlight. We are mov-ing at an appropriate turtle-like crawl, with onlyenough wind to keep way on.

Behind us, theladies from Portsmouthare sailing fast now, and Iwork hard, trying to stayahead. We are separatedby a mile or so, and it ishard to tell if they aregaining.The bay looks infinitely

huge ahead, my possibleobjectives far away. Thebloom has gone off theday, too, sunlight andcolor replaced by a uniform, unpromising gray. Con-centrating on sail trim, and trying to get the best outof her while making so little tangible progress on thisfeatureless gray expanse, is turning into hard, not verypleasant work.I consult the chart and see that we are off a couple

of small islands, Seal and Flat, which themselves lieoff a place called Seal Harbor, at the tail of the “turtle.”A look in Taft and Rindlaub (“A Cruising Guide to the

Maine Coast” by Hankand Jan Taft and CurtisRindlaub) reveals thatSeal Harbor is adjacentto Crow Cove, describedtherein as “a little gunk-hole where the crows arestill there to greet you inthe morning, and so arethe seagulls and os-preys” Well, gunkholeswith crows, seagulls andospreys are what I’m allabout, so, without fur-ther ado, I cut in be-tween Seal and Flat andmake my way toward thecove. As I approach land, the

sun comes out again, and the wind becomes fluky, fit-ful gusts out of the east, again right on our nose. Weget into the Cove after some fits and starts in the nar-row entrance, and find that it is indeed a sweet place.The couple of houses in the area are set far enough

back behind trees so you can’t see them, and, for therest of the cove, it is sandy shores, a rich green marsh,the crows, seagulls and ospreys along with a large pop-ulation of friendly ducks, which Taft and Rindlaub for-

This place, which isone of the loveliest on the coast, isunoccupied as usual, the reasonbeing a more or less treacherousrock-lined entrance and consider-able ambiguity as to where thegood bottom lies.Back on Penelope, I fry up some

eggs and Spam and wonder aboutthe old sloop, which still shows nosign of life. It’s warm, and with nocompany but the distant, lifelesssloop, I crouch low in the cockpitand take a seawater sponge bath.Some say they still feel dirty aftera seawater bath, but I have neverfelt that way; I like a little salt onmy skin.Light breezes stir, and the day is

I have no desire to find a dead manaboard, but feel duty bound to check her out. To mygreat relief, a gray head emerges from the hatch. I askhow he is doing, and in a quavery, old voice the old gentsays that he is “just enjoying the peace.” I apologize fordisturbing that peace and wish him well. He opines

that there is not likely to be much wind this afternoon,and I’m afraid he is right.For an uncomfortable length of time, he is very right.

to a point off the Benjamin River. Then we see thun-derheads coming up behind us, and it is a race to seeif we can get to the WoodenBoat School anchorage inBrooklin before the storm hits. Looking back towardthe bridge, the sky is spectacular, with flashes of blue,purple and orange in the charcoal clouds.It is “I think I can, I think I can” all the way up past

Torrey Island, and then we are in the anchorage. Wedrop anchor off the mooring field, with a windjammerand a mixed bag of cruisers for company. We heave abig sigh of relief, then note that what looked like a ma-jor thunderstorm has dissipated and disappearedwhile we were anchoring. It is time for a drink and aread in the cockpit.I am reading about Capt. Nat Hereshoff and his last

America’s Cup defender. I come to a part that tells howhe spent long days working at the Herreshoff Manu-facturing Co., which he owned along with his brother.Coming home for dinner, he would preside over a tablewhere his wife and children were discouraged fromspeaking because the great man preferred thinkingabout boats and boating undisturbed. After dinner, Capt. Nat would retire to his study

alone, where he thought about boats and boating somemore. We gather Capt. Nat. was not a lot of fun as ahusband and a father. Like so many great men andwomen, he was a bit selfish and difficult (Frank LloydWright, N.C. Wyeth, Robert Frost, Ayn Rand and Pi-

casso come to mind, to name a few). Suddenly it comesto me that my days will end in obscurity because Ihave been too nice all my life. I can’t suppress a sudden screech of laughter as I

think about how my wife would react to this last idea.People in neighboring boats cast nervous glances inmy direction. Clearly the old coot in the catboat is de-mented and may be dangerous.Sunday. It is sunny and clear again as we beat out

of the WoodenBoat anchorage accompanied by aflotilla of wooden craft of all sizes. They seem to beheaded for some kind of event on the other side of thereach. We part company off White Island as I headsoutheast for Jericho Bay and a clean shot for Hat Is-land, Toothacher Bay, and home to Swans. It’s one tack with the sheet just slightly eased, and

Penelope is doing five and a half to just under sixknots. A converted sardine carrier passes slowly,headed slightly more to the west. Her skipper takesthe trouble to step out of his wheelhouse and give thekind of exaggerated wave which indicates he reallylikes what he is seeing. It makes my day and tops offwhat has been a really fine cruise.W. R. Cheney, who moved to Lady’s Island, S.C., from

Vermont in 2011, sails the engineless Marshall 22Penelope out of Swans Island, Maine, in summer, andhis Marshall Sanderling Shorebird out of Lady’s Is-land, S.C., in winter.

There are few stories of greater interest to methan stories about the sea. From early in mychildhood, I read books by Edward Rowe Snow

and loved his stories of lighthouses and shipwrecks. My grandparents lived near Stacy Boulevard in

Gloucester, and my grandfather operated the Blynmandrawbridge, which, to a young child, was both myste-rious and scary. The giant gears would move with pre-cision, and I would imagine how frightened I would beif I had been caught in the split of the bridge and hadto hang on while it was ultimately lowered to its flatsurface.

This is a Cape Cod Story in which the author and her fishing partner, Red, could betourists in their own neighborhoods while angling for keeper stripers, chopper blues,and unexpected life-lessons.

Of course, “Papaday” would never allow that to hap-pen, but it was always something worthy of thought.We were privileged to enjoy the fresh salt air, Wingaer-sheek Beach, Stage Fort Park, and all of the localbeaches and parks. We had many occasions after hur-ricanes to watch the waves break over the rocks alongthe back shore of Gloucester. For us, it was a reminderof the power of the sea. My world as a child consistedof Gloucester, Essex and Rockport. It wasn’t until myadult years that I discovered the other MassachusettsCape, Cape Cod. My partner and fellow adventurer was Red Poirier,

a North Attleboro, Mass., transplant, who had lovedand embraced Cape Cod many years before I met himin 1992. When I first met Red, he was very focused onfishing. “Focused” may be an understatement. Whenhe wasn’t fishing, he was thinking about fishing or sift-ing through magazines and articles about fishing. I was very focused on the speed of a powerboat and

the opportunity to take some beautiful photos at alltimes of the day in some of the most amazing locationson Cape Cod. Every weekend in the summer, at approximately

3:30 a.m., we would get out of bed, pack a cooler withbreakfast and snack items, make a thermos of coffee,and stop by the bait store for supplies. The term “sup-plies” is a nice way of referring to dead and disgustingfood for the fish, which, we hoped, would be attractedto something so revolting. We were almost always outbefore the coffee shops opened but occasionally whenthe tides were slack, we would linger a bit longer athome and pick up coffee and bagels at the DunkinDonuts counter at Gray Gables Market. It was alwaysa good idea, whenever possible, to get the coffee andbagels before the disgusting bait. A very good idea.No one could doubt our commitment to powerboat-

ing. We went everywhere with the 24-foot Sportcraft242. We fished Buzzards Bay, Cape Cod Bay, and thewaters off Provincetown and Martha’s Vineyard, andall along the Cape Cod Canal. Sometimes we fishedwith friends, Steve and Kathy, who also had a power-boat and were excellent at catching keeper bass. Andsometimes it would be just the two of us. Occasionally, we were all unintentionally fishing

with the Canal Patrol boats, which would remind uswhen we were drifting inside the canal. It was almost

always an unpleasant experience. In addition to incur-ring the ire of the Canal Patrol crew, another concernrelated to fishing at one of our favorite locations wasthe need to cross over the canal at times when the vis-ibility was limited, ei-ther because it was stilldark or because of theearly morning fog. On one particular

morning in the middleof the season, wechecked the tides anddecided that the besttime for us to head outto fish was a little ear-lier than our usual 3:30departure time. Lobsterbuoys and rocks seemedto multiply in the night.It was certainly a chal-lenge, but one we facedfrom time to time. Un-fortunately for us onthat morning, the fogwas thicker than usual. For the most part, the fog tended to dissipate as the

day moved along, and it would generally not deter usfrom heading to The Sand Spit across the canal for

some bass fishing. We poured our coffee from the ther-mos and took a leisurely ride to the edge of the canal.We looked, listened and waited for any unseen boattraffic, and then proceeded to our favorite fishing spot.

After an hour or so oflittle action and in-creasing fog, we de-cided it was a betterday to enjoy on landthan on the ocean. Webrought the rods in, se-cured everything andstarted back to thePocasset River. In thedistance, we began tohear the soft, rhythmicsound of a propeller. Wewaited. And we waitedlonger, not wanting tochance crossing thecanal and ending up ina collision course witha freighter. We lost the sound af-

ter a few minutes and proceeded cautiously throughwhat was now pea-soup fog. We could not see beyond

In a pea-soup fog, Red and I were nearly run down by this tugboat andbarge-load of containers near the west end of the Cape Cod Canal.

MS HARBORFEST SPONSORSThe primary goal of MS Harborfest is to raise funds to help create a world free of multiple sclerosis for people who live with the unpredictable challenges of this disease. Maine is hit especially hard by MS, with a 70% higher prevalence rate than the rest of the country. The generosity of our business and individual sponsors enables the National MS Society to help all Mainers who are affected by MS.

Many of our sponsors return year after year with generous cash donations. Just as importantly, many of our key sponsors’ employees additionally donate hundreds of hours of volunteer service to produce this weekend-long event. Their generosity helps bring us closer to our goal by raising awareness and critical funds that support local services for Mainer’s with MS, and fuel cutting edge research and treatments.

MS Harborfest Regatta also welcomes more than 100 companies each year as individual sailboat sponsors. By sponsoring a sailboat for $500, representatives from the sponsoring company have the opportunity to sail aboard

and the race. New sailboat sponsors are also welcome, as boats can carry multiple sponsor banners.

This year the MS Harborfest takes place the weekend of August 15-17 on the Portland waterfront. We hope to see you there! Please join us and help sponsor a cure!

For more information on becoming a sponsor, please contact: Sue Tidd, 207.781.7960, or sue.tidd@nmss,org

the bow of our boat. We passed the can marking thecanal and headed for the Pocasset River. At the precisemoment we passed the canal marker, I turned to see atugboat towing a huge barge of cargo containers, veryclose to the stern of our boat. It looked like a giantskyscraper on the water. We both gasped. I grabbed mycamera and took a quick photo. Every so often, wewould look at that photo and remember how close wecame to being in thepath of that barge.In any event, and

despite my revulsionof the bait, I didlearn a lot aboutfishing and how to bea good fisherman’sassistant. I quicklylearned how to setup a good drift. Ittook me a while tolearn how to handlethe controls, avoidlobster buoys, andadjust the speed si-multaneously. Even-tually, I learned howto find structurewhere large fishmight be holding bykeeping a close eyeon the fish finder and listening for the telltale fastbeeps. We mostly fished for bass, but occasionally wesought out bluefish. The bass were so beautiful thatwe almost always did a catch and release.We had great fun every season. We would occasion-

ally slip up to Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard for thenight, take Patty’s Taxi into town for dinner, and enjoya beautiful night being rocked to sleep by the soothingmotion of the boat at the slip. We loved our times inProvincetown, both fishing and slipping up for the

night. We could be tourists in our own neighborhoods.The Sportcraft gave us the ability to explore the en-

tire upper Cape. Of course, any recreational activity isnot without its occasional issues or problems, andpowerboating was no exception. We were always verycareful about checking NOAA weather. Red monitoredthe forecast religiously. The static sound of theweather radio echoed off the walls of each room in ourhouse, loud enough to be heard from any location. Wewere not inclined to take chances with the weather

and run the risk ofbeing caught in astorm or winds thatour boat would nothandle. One early October

day in 1993, wechecked the forecast,and the winds wereexpected to be some-what more thanlight and variable.The seas were fore-cast at one to twofeet. The visibilityand ceiling were un-limited. All told, itshould have been abeautiful fall day totake the Sportcraftto Quicks Hole, inthe Elizabeth Is-

lands, for some bluefish. “Should have been” is the op-erative phrase.We arrived at the Pocasset River later than usual,

probably around 8:00 a.m. since we were dealing witha slack tide and the fishing would clearly be delayeduntil the current started moving again. For most of thetrip out to Quicks’s, the weather held true to the fore-cast. Less than a half a mile outside of our intendeddestination, the sea started to pick up. The swells wentfrom a gentle rolling one to two feet to a whitecapped

four to six with absolutely no warning. The spray was intense. The troughs between the

waves were very narrow. It took a few moments to reg-ister what was happening. It became crystal-clear thatour circumstances had changed when the waves werebreaking over the bow and the water was being chan-neled to the stern. We quickly found the life jackets. We were not able to recover from one wave before we

were tossed into the next. At one point, the hatch cov-ers started to float, and Red recognized that the bilgepump was not working. I took the wheel while heworked to get the bilge pump functioning again. For-tunately, it was a simple fix, and we noticed an imme-diate improvement. At first we thought that we mightjust ride out these seas with the optimistic outlook oftwo experienced people with a very seaworthy boat.Within a few short moments, that option no longer ex-isted. We saw nothing ahead except more whitecaps and

higher seas. Red took the controls, and we began aslow, precarious turn that could easily have flipped theboat, and headed the bow into the oncoming waves. Wesaw no other boats in the area. We placed a generalcall to any vessels in the area indicating that the con-ditions at Quicks Hole were not consistent with theNOAA report. Within 15 minutes of heading back home, the waves

started to diminish. We are two people very much at

home on the ocean, but after this event, we knew thatMother Nature rules and we merely respond.Later that day, we heard that a recently restored

wooden fishing boat – I believe it was named Tyree –was missing with four people on board. Two fathersand their sons had decided to compete in a fishing con-test. When their boat became overdue, the familiescalled the Coast Guard to put together a search effort.Despite many long hours and days of searching by theCoast Guard, the boat remained missing. I have notcontinued to follow this story, but I do believe that onlyremnants of the boat were found and that all on boardwere presumed lost. From time to time, I have thought about these four

people. We spoke to some of our friends the day afterTyree had been reported missing, and they all indi-cated to us that the seas were as forecast for the restof the Cape and Buzzard’s Bay area. When I think ofthe fathers and sons on board Tyree, I am reminded ofthe Fisherman’s Memorial in Gloucester and the manymen and women who were lost at sea. My great-grand-father, Howard Penney, was one of the many who suf-fered that fate. In December 1919, while fishing offLiscomb, Nova Scotia, a winter storm capsized hisdory, which had been sent out from the schooner Ben-jamin A. Smith. (Editor’s Note: Read a detailed ac-count of the loss of Patricia’s great-grandfather andhis dory-mate John Ernst at www.downtosea.com.)

It took some time for us to move on from that day. Itwas the end of the season and we were putting theboat away until the spring. It was good to have sometime away from the ocean.We continued in our use of the Sportcraft for another

couple of years. In 1996, we had a new boat, a 20-footMaritime Skiff that was fast and fun. Oh yes, it wasalso good for fishing. Over the couple of years weowned the Maritime Skiff, we took many people out fortheir first keeper bass. Red loves to tell the story of Stanley, an elderly gen-

tleman who, with his wife, owned a summer homenear our house. Stanley grew vegetables – all kinds ofvegetables. He would stop by periodically with an am-ple supply and remind us that if we were ever lookingfor someone to take fishing, he would make himselfavailable. When we were finally able to coordinate ourschedules, Stanley showed up at our house an hourahead of time with a bushel of every type of vegetablegrown in North America. I was somewhat suspiciousthat he had actually made a trip to the local A&P. I never saw anyone – man, woman or child – more

excited about going fishing. He even looked like an OldSalt, more or less like the Gorton’s trademark fisher-man. We packed our cooler, gathered the rods and reelsand headed to our boat, hoping that Stanley would gethis first keeper bass. At this time, the minimum lengthfor a keeper bass was 36 inches. In my experience, far

more people had not caught a keeper bass than thosewho had. The odds were not with him, but as suspi-cious as I may have been about the earlier trip to theA&P, I was equally suspicious that he may also havestopped by St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church tolight a candle or two. Stanley was determined, and I truly believed he was

destined to catch his keeper bass. We loaded up theboat and said good-bye to one of the ever-observantproperty owners, Stanley’s friend Dick, across from thePocasset River. Stanley was very anxious and couldonly manage a quick nod and a wave for his friend.Red helped Stanley set up his rod, and gave him somepointers about what to do if he got a fish on. I was atthe controls, setting up the drift, and Red was dealingwith the smelly bait. We were out at The Sand Spit for about two hours

with only a few nibbles. Stanley reached for a soda anddropped his rod on the floor of the boat. The reel im-mediately became a bird’s nest of line, and for the nexthalf-hour Red untangled it. He gave the rod back toStanley. Within a few minutes, Stanley had a fish on the line.

Suddenly, this elderly man was 12 again, gleeful andexcited. With Red’s help, he landed his keeper bass,which, he declared, would be dinner. We took photos ofStanley holding the bass by the hook, Stanley cradlingthe fish, Stanley looking into the cooler, and variations

of each of these poses. It wasvery entertaining. As we turned down the Pocas-

set River, Stanley kept a watch-ful eye on the shore. As soon aswe got close to our slip, he be-gan looking for Dick, hopingthat he would be nearby to seehis fish. Well, Dick greeted us atthe slip, praised Stanley for hisskill, and insisted that he be al-lowed to borrow the fish forsome photos of his own, whichhe planned to share with hisfriends. It was a great day foreveryone. Within a day or two of the big

trip, Stanley stopped by withmore fresh vegetables. He po-litely inquired if the photoswould be ready by Friday, be-cause he and his wife were go-ing to a family wedding and hewould love to be able to showthem to everyone. Of course, wefast-tracked the film, and hehad his photos for the wedding.I am not certain if the bride was

particularly grateful to havebeen upstaged by a large bass,but Stanley was such a goodman that I am guessing it wasalright with her. Epilogue: The following

spring, Red tried to call Stanleyto remind him to renew his slip.Stanley’s wife answered andtold Red that Stanley hadpassed away that winter. He’dhad a heart condition that endedhis life quickly. She told Redthat the fishing trip and all ofthe photos had been one of thebest days of his life. We were sosorry to hear of his passing, butwe smiled as we rememberedthe “12-year-old boy” who’d fi-nally caught his keeper bass.After many years of fishing

and powerboating, one morningRed was flipping through a boat-ing magazine, and, much to mysurprise, he announced he mightjust like to think about learninghow to sail. And that will be thenext adventure.

Catching his first keeper striper trans-formed Stanley into a 12-year-old.

Newport turned on the charm for the start of the finalday of racing (Sunday, June 15) at the 12th C. ThomasClagett, Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta. After two daysof light conditions on Narragansett Bay, the three classesracing took to the water an hour early to take advantageof the northerly breeze.Heading into the final day Ted Green III (Newport,

R.I.) led the 2.4mR fleet with a nine-point lead over PeterWood (Ottawa, Ont.). In a 12-knot northerly, the fleet gotunderway for race five of the series, which Green III sub-sequently retired from after damaging his headsail in amark-rounding incident. After a drop in breeze strengthfor race seven, which ended up being the last race for theseries, the current around Goat Island became a deter-mining factor in where the competitors finished. GreenIII finished off the regatta on a high note taking the finalgun. With a seven-race series completed a drop resultcame into play and Ted Green III came out on top of the2.4mR class. Wood took the silver medal place and TonyPocklington (Fort Meyers, Fla.) rounded out the top three2.4mR’s in the bronze medal spot. (Note: In the July issue we ran a piece featuring mili-

tary veteran Steve Hammer, who took part in theWounded Warrior sailing camp in St. Petersburg, Fla. Hefinished last in the 2.4mR class at the Clagett, but, more

importantly, he was there and he finished.)In the SKUD 18 class, overnight leaders (and married

couple) John McRoberts and Jackie Gay (Victoria, B.C.)went into the last day on equal points with Ryan Porte-ous (San Diego, Calif.) and Cindy Walker (Middletown,R.I.). But ultimately McRoberts/Gay finished 2nd andPorteous/Walker took third. The drop race came into playand the overall winners were the Canadian duo ofMcRoberts and Gay, with Porteous and Walker finishing2nd by a two-point margin and Everhart-Skeels/Tiernan(Tiverton, R.I., and Falmouth, Maine) taking 3rd.Sonar team of Ricky Doerr (Clifton, N.J.), Tim Angle

(Reading, Mass.) and Hugh Freund (Brookline, Mass.)led the class from wire to wire. In a closely fought battle,Paul Tingley (Halifax, N.S.) and his Canadian team ofScott Lutes (Montreal, Que.) and Logan Campbell(Saskatoon, Sask.) finished in 2nd place by one point.Andy Fisher (Greenwich, Conn.) and his crew MikeHersey (Hyannis, Mass.) and Brad Johnson (PompanoBeach, Fla.) kept in touch with the leaders over theseven-race series to finish in third place with two pointsseparating second and third.The dates for 2015 C.

crews on dual-purpose racer-cruiser boats, correctedtime honors went to the Hinckley B40 Actaea, a modi-fied Bermuda 40 cruising yawl owned by Michael Coneof Philadelphia, Pa.The Cruiser Division is for boats that normally cruise,

not race, and are sailed by amateur crews. It had 34 en-tries and was dominated by smaller boats. The winnerwas Attitude, a Beneteau 423 owned by Shawn Dahlenof Duxbury, Mass. Like many boats in the race, Attitudegot off to a fast start, averaging 7.8 knots over the firsttwo days. Also, like most boats, the rest of her race wasa story of calms. It took her many hours to sail the last35 miles to the finish off St. David’s Head.The Double-Handed Division had 21 entries, and

again the top boats were small. The winner of the PhilipS. Weld Prize as corrected time leader was Jeroboam,Jonathan Green’s Beneteau 351. Her greater-than-six-hour victory margin was by far the largest in the fleetthis year. In the 2012 race, Green sailed the Double-Hander Seabiscuit alone 200 miles to Bermuda afterhis teammate was evacuated by a cruise ship.One boat sailed in the Spirit of Tradition Division,

Spirit of Bermuda, a 118-foot three-masted sail-train-ing vessel based on traditional Bermuda trading shipsand crewed by sailors representative of the island’s pop-ulation. Like the other entries, she was often withinsight of many boats and struggled with the light winds.FMI: www.bermudarace.com.

which took place at the Portland Yacht Club on Sunday,June 29.After a short postponement, the course was set on the

south side of Clapboard Island with a light but steadysoutherly breeze filling in. With a slightly favored pinend, sailors were quite aggressive causing a couple ofgeneral recalls. With the use of the “I” flag, the racerssettled in and the regatta was under way.As principal race officer, I was excited to see several

of the New England regulars – Nickerson, Follansbee,Frasier and Thornburn – making the trip to PortlandYacht Club and mixing it up with newcomers like Pol-lard, Jones, Conway and Heilshorn. But what was reallygreat was to see Steve Beckman and Mike Seipert com-peting again in the Laser fleet after a long absence.Along with these sailors several collegiate sailors andlocal sailing instructors competed, and did pretty well,but they could not best Peter Follansbee’s consistent fin-ishes.There were five windward-leeward races sailed in a

building breeze that topped out at 14 knots. The chase

boat reported exciting mark roundings, with boats be-ing overlapped three- and four-wide; “rubbing is racing”was overheard during the post-race festivities. The con-ditions put a premium on sailing in clean air and boathandling, and not necessarily picking the favored side. Peter Follansbee was able to figure out the quickest

way to sail the courses with consistency. His five 2nd-place finishes were enough to best Belfast’s Colin Gow-land, who was 2nd (and last year’s winner). ArthurBlodgett, from Rockland, rounded out the top three.A pleasant surprise was the seven Radial rigs that

registered for the regatta. It’s nice to see younger sailorsgetting involved with local regattas. Given the solidnumber of entries, they were given their own startingsequence separate from the full rigs. Ethan Merrill,from Yarmouth, was first, followed by Cam Loncoski, ofFalmouth. The Maine State Laser Championship Series contin-

ues with regattas in Camden and Belfast on Aug. 16and 17, respectively, and the fifth and final regatta ofthe series on Sept. 14 on Cobbossee Lake (nice fresh wa-ter to rinse your gear off). FMI: www.laserdistrict7.com,www.cascobaylaserfleet.blogspot.com.

laria 43 down to a scant 28 inches,and provide the boat with easy andprecise maneuverability in closequarters. Control is provided byHinckley’s latest generation of Jet-stick, which governs the power withsmooth proportional control.

Fern, an 18-foot AageNielsen-designed double-endeddaysailer, has been rejuvenatedthis past winter in the RockportMarine shops in Rockport,Maine. Originally built for E.B.White in 1956, Fern is one ofonly four boats built to her design, and she’s considered anelegant and seaworthy sloop-rigged daysailer. Upon herlaunch, she was bound south to Mystic, Conn., for theWoodenBoat Show at Mystic Seaport. She was displayednear another Aage Nielsen-designed boat, Star Song, whichalso spent some time at Rockport Marine.In other Rockport Marine news, Rockport and the

Fontaine Design Group have been collaborating onArabesque, a 50-foot sloop-rigged cold-molded (cold-moldedwood hull, teak deck and cold-molded cabintop) vessel witha waterline length of 36 feet, seven inches, and a beam of12 feet, eight inches. Her hull is wood over laminatedframes, laminated ring frames and bulkheads. Her hull layupis one 9/16-inch layer of Alaskan yellow cedar, two 3/16-inch layers of western red cedar, and one 9/16-inch layer ofmahogany protected by 10-oz fiberglass cloth. She’s a fin-keel sloop displacing about 30,000 pounds, 11,354 poundsof which is ballast. FMI: www.rockportmarineinc.com

Rockport Marine restores Fern,E. B. White’s 18-foot daysailer

with an ultra-lightweight interior. Both yards are sup-ported by Hodgdon’s in-house advanced-compositestructural and systems engineering as well as its inte-riors division.Hodgdon’s newly acquired marina in Boothbay Har-

bor, known locally as Wotton’s Wharf, has more than750 feet of linear dock space and a face dock of 500 feet.The wharf is the home base to the annual ShipyardCup, a Hodgdon-founded and hosted superyacht re-gatta that draws competitors from around the worldand infuses significant dollars into the region eachsummer.This expansion is part of an ongoing effort by Hodg-

don to diversify the fifth-generation-run company.Over the past 12 years, Hodgdon has grown from itsroots as an internationally-known custom yachtbuilder to also become an industry leader in construc-tion involving advanced-composites design and con-struction, custom tenders for superyachts, yachtinteriors, and projects for the United States Depart-ment of Defense.In addition to its three facilities in the Boothbay re-

gion, Hodgdon has locations in Richmond andDamariscotta for its interiors division and its customtender construction division, respectively. FMI:www.hodgdonyachts.com.

Wickford, R.I., and asked South Shore’s Bob Fuller tocheck it out for him. Bob did, and found a 39-year-oldboat, the Hazel W (with a 45-foot LOA, a 14-foot,seven-inch beam, and a 32,000-pound displacement)designed for dragging and offshore lobstering andbuilt in Apponaug, R.I., by Donald Wilcox.Based on Bob’s recommendation,

Eric bought the boat sight unseen.Bob and Eric met face-to-face about amonth into the project. The 2 ½-yearproject was managed via email andskype, with visits from Eric every sixmonths. The boat’s new name isTwist, since it was by a twist of fatethat a 41-year old wood lobsterboatcan look forward to life as a day-trip-ping boat in Croatia.Bob brought in many key local

players to help with the project. Mostnotable were naval architect Bob Turcotte, of Top-sham, Maine, and Nate Tynan of Windward PowerSystems, of Fairhaven, Mass., who repowered the boatand installed the generator. Also involved was JeffKent (son of iconic weather forecaster Don Kent) ofHingham, who did the custom carbon-fiber work, in-cluding the mast and boom.Accommodations include a V-berth, a double berth

down to port, a dining table that folds into a berth, andTwo European style day beds are on deck. A bimini cancover the forward half of the deck. The new 500-horseCat diesel, modified to meet stricter European emis-sion standards, replaced the original engine, with28,000 hours on its. The first sea trial was conductedwith the new owner and his friends aboard, with 30-

knot winds and six-foot seas, and sheperformed flawlessly. Top speed was15½ knots. The boat meets CE standards, which

required extensive documentation.This included pulling lines and doingdrawings and stability calculations forthe original hull. Also required was alife raft and EPIRB. The process ofgetting Swiss registration was a steeplearning curve for Bob and his team,and it took six months for approval.Since no discharge is allowed in the

Med, the boat is equipped with a large gray watertank. Also, since fresh water is not always available, a40 gallon per hour watermaker was added.The boat was shipped on a Dockwise Yacht Trans-

port vessel out of Newport, bound for Rome. Bob Fullerand Nate Tynan planned to fly over to commissionTwist in Italy in mid-July. FMI: www.southshoreboat-works.com.

Thad Danielson, of Cummington, Mass., (formerly of Redd’sPond Boatworks in Marblehead) has built an 1898 RacingDory that was launched at WoodenBoat Show in late June.The original pencil-on-linen plans were discovered by Thad inthe former Sam and Bill Brown’s boathouse as it was beingprepared for conversion to a playhouse. The boat was the firstcommissioned design by Charles D. Mower. The 21-foot dory was commissioned as a club racer for the

Swampscott club, and, in its original version, as well as theslightly modified 1911 version, became the standard clubracer for working-men’s yacht clubs in the area. Thad’s ver-sion, like the originals, is open; many of the boats were laterdecked. The design’s influence is evident in many of the hotracing boats of the day that followed, including John Alden’sIndian. FMI: Thad Danielson, 413-212-8169, [email protected].

I’ve harped here before on the paucityof good, really good, new nautical read-ing material (books), but it doesn’tseem to have had any impact. Go fig-ure. Could it be that nobody reads thesebook reviews because they are pre-dictably grouchy or cloying, not to men-tion narcissistic? Say it ain’t so.OK, so if you’re so smart you tell me

about your favorite boating books, and I’ll share itwith the rest of the group in a subsequent issue. Idon’t even have the editor’s permission to make thisrequest, but in this case I’m going over his head andstraight to you, the loyal readers of Points East. Sosend me an email in care of [email protected]’s what I’d like to know:What boating books have you read in the past 12

months? What are your all-time favorite boatingbooks? What is in your nautical boat-ing library? What are your favoriteboating books to read to kids? Finally,and this will require some thought,what topics would you like to see cov-ered in yet-to-be-published nauticalbooks?There, that was easy, and I’m al-

ready 200 words into my allotted wordcount. Now write back before you for-get. Thanks.So, this month, I read two nautical

books – one old and short, one newlypublished, but an old story – and

watched a lovely, inspiring sailing documentary.For some reason, my brother sent me a second-

hand copy of “Avelinda,” by the late Thomas D.Cabot. If you have cruised in Maine, you have Cabotto thank for the natural beauty youbeheld when it wasn’t foggy.Cabot – yes, one of those Cabots –

died in 1995 at the age of 98, sevenyears after Tilbury House published“Avelinda.” He was the kind of manwho accomplished more in his life-time than would seem even vaguelypossible. But he still found time tocruise the Gulf of Maine and theMaritimes on his 50-foot ketch,Avelinda, and to make sure much ofwhat he saw was saved for all of us.Cabot’s recounting of his cruises is

funny, sweet and at times frighten-ing. Twice, he was caught off NovaScotia’s east coast in near hurri-cane-force winds, and he was caughtby Hurricane Carol in PenobscotBay.But the most terrifying moment came one night at

anchor in Butter Island Harbor, when Cabot’s son,sleeping on deck, rolled off the deck and into the wa-ter at 2 a.m. It was a few hours and a lot of diving

by his father before he was found clinging to thebobstay.Cabot sat out the night topsides. “In the beautiful

dawn, I was weeping with emotion. It seemed themost beautiful dawn I had ever wit-nessed, and I resolved then and thereto try and buy the surrounding is-lands.”During the following years, that’s

just what he did, acquiring 50 islandsand co-founding the Maine CoastHeritage Trust to help preserve theislands and carry on his work. The book is illustrated with won-

derful photos, taken by Cabot. It’s adeep appreciation of cruising and ofthe Maine coast. It’s out of print, butused copies are available – or you canborrow mine.In “Fire Sale,” Roger Marin tells an

interesting long-ago story about thebare hull he laboriously turned into acruising yacht through guile, guts,

good luck, bad luck, intense stubbornness, and skill.Most of the book is dedicated to Marin’s develop-

ment as a sailor, the birth of his cruising dream, andall the work he and his wife and two kids put intoturning the Block Island 40 bare hull into a cruising

vessel that would take them south from their homein Maine.I don’t think there are very many people with the

grit to accomplish what Marin did with this boat inhis youth (he is 71 now), especially considering theobstacles he faced. And I don’t think there are manypeople, luckily, who would take the risks he took.Consider the lead for the keel, for example. The

first effort on the kitchen stove ended in an explo-sion. Taking the project outdoors, he got a caldron oflead hot enough to pour, but then he had to get that

lead into the hull, where it would cool and becomethe encapsulated ballast.“Rigging a block and tackle off the starboard quar-

ter of the hull,” he wrote, “I was able to raise the 80-pound bucket of molten lead up to where I couldgrab it from inside and bring it aboard.”What could go wrong?Well, that worked, but plenty did go wrong in the

years to come. There was also plenty of serendipity,including a chance meeting with Bob and TinaHinckley, which became key to Marin’s success.

The rest of the book is a travelogue of the family’strip to the Bahamas. Like so many self-publishedbooks, this one would be much improved by cuttingit by at least a third – hopefully, much of that wouldbe inane dialogue that, so many years later, musthave been reconstructed. It’s a good story, but di-gesting it is a big commitment.In fact, there is a sequel to this 318-page book in

the works, picking up the adventure where the firstbook left off in the Bahamas. Consider that JoshuaSlocum sailed around the world in just 320 pages.

Finally, make it a point to see the documentary“Maidentrip,” which tells the story of Laura Dekker,a Dutch girl who completed a two-year circumnavi-gation that she began, with most of the worldagainst her, at age 14. Production values are veryhigh, the kid is very cool, and the story is inspiringand definitely worth a look.Regarding “going over the editor’s head” on page

FETCHING ALONG/David Buckman

Quiet day on the coastThe Leight slides past Mount Desert Island in the richness of a quiet day on the Maine coast.

The 50-mile run between Mount Desert Island andthe dramatic anchorages around Great Wass andRoque islands far Downeast, always seems a long

haul in the light airs of July. Handy shelters are fewand far between along the offshore route, and it can’tbe managed without knowing a foul, Fundy-influencedtide or two. The choice of a long wait for the wind or grinding it

out under power was unsatisfying. Having played itboth ways, but with little taste for the intensity of haste,I left Northeast Harbor early, singlehanding eastwardunder power at an easy four knots. There was a partic-ular divinity to the dawning, the pale pastels of a newday bathing spruce crowned shore and islands in atranslucent light, in which every tree and headlandseemed to have standing. Swells heaved lazily as the Leight rustled along,

swaying rhythmically, like a skater carving gracefularcs on the ice. Portside, the faded mountains of MountDesert cut the sky sharply, and lent a commandingbackdrop to the scene, while the bony finger of Schoodic

Point, gesturing to seaward a dozen miles off the bow,seemed to keep its distance, even with a fair tide be-neath us. We’d come to know the ebb soon enough, butthere was no escaping sea time, which takes full mea-sure of every minute and mile. Setting up the Autohelm, I arranged the cockpit cush-

ions into a makeshift chaise, pulled a copy of Wooden-Boat magazine from the bookshelf, and read it fromcover to cover. Found myself absorbed in an articleabout spiling topside planking, which I’ve tried tofathom for decades, but still only have the sketchiestapprehension of. Made an offer of $112, the extent of mycurrent liquidity, for a Concordia yawl, and perused therichly detailed photographs and story about a schoonerrestoration in this “New Yorker” of boating magazines. With the engine muttering its rhythmic incantations

hour after hour, the day came warm enough to shed asweater, and looking up from my muse, I found Schoodicabeam. This place opens the door to a world that stilltakes my breath away, 40 summers after first doublingit. Training the binoculars eastward, hoping for a sight-

It was no easy task to keepwatch on the Wilson’s petrels asthey slashed and swooped at wave-top level like miniature F16s. I’venever seen one resting. By the timewe made Petit Manan lighthouse I’dadded puffins, scimitar-wingedterns and, possibly, plovers, to thelist. The wind took its sweet time

Western Long Island Sound

High water temps mean tactics must be alteredBy Richard DeMarte

For Points EastAdjusting and fine-tuning your fishing tactics and

overall approach is key to successful fishing, and this isespecially true in August. Said another way, if you setyour sights on a single target in this hottest time of thesummer, you’re narrowing your chances for fun and suc-cess. So take along an assortment of baits and tackle,and you’ll tip the odds in your favor. Gear: Bring along two trolling rods and reels loaded

up with lead-core trolling line as well as two mid-weightspinning rods and reels and two lightweight rods andreels loaded up with 20- and 40-pound test Advancedbraided line. A simple selection of lures will also beneeded, such as bunker spoons and Rapala Deep Diversfor trolling; an assortment of four- to eight-inch surfaceand shallow diving lures, such as Rapala X-Rap Shads

and X-Rap Pops; and also some one- to three-ounce whiteand chartreuse bucktails with 4/0 teaser hooks. And don’tforget to bring along some VMC Circle Hooks in sizes 4/0to 9/0 for all your bait fishing.Bait: Pack a small cooler with a mix of frozen bait, in-

cluding a few bunker and some squid and spearing. Alsobuy a dozen live sandworms as well. What to look for:As you leave the dock, keep a keen

eye on your fishfinder, the shorelines, and the surface ofthe water. Cormorants swimming and diving as well asospreys gliding overhead are a sure sign that bunker arein the area. The bunker may not be grouped in large tightpods, but snagging or netting them is possible if the birdsare hunting them down. Gathering fresh bunker is agood idea, even if you brought along some frozen ones,since using them to start a chum line will create an oilyslick that blues, stripers and fluke can’t resist.

85www.pointseast.com Points East August 2014

Stripers and blues: Because airand water temperatures will hittheir peaks this month, fishing theshallow shorelines and entrances ofharbors and coves is best done atsunrise and sunset before the tempsclimb. Then shift over to trolling inthe midday heat. While trolling,watch for diving terns as well as anypods of bait on the surface, whichmay be signs that stripers and bluesare also feeding. Nighttime fishing isfun and effective this month whereyou’ll find most fishermen anchoredup in deeper water using live orchunked bunker. Setting up a chumline will help get the bite started. Hot spots for nighttimefishing include mid-sound areas, where the water runsdeeper and cooler.

Fluke: For fluke, the best activityis typically an hour to 90 minutes be-fore and after high and low tides. Hotspots for bouncing bucktails tippedwith spearing, strips of bunker andTrigger-X scented baits include Tod’sPoint and the outside of Captains Is-land in Greenwich, The Cows outsideof Stamford Harbor and also alongthe sandy shoreline of the north coastof Long Island.Porgies: The sheer quantity of

these tasty fish is most evident in latesummer and early fall. The bait ofchoice is sandworms. Cut the wormsinto one- to two-inch pieces and use a

one- to two- ounce sinker to get your baited hook down

It felt as if summer was never going to arrive; however,it has hit full swing! Inshore and offshore anglers arecatching good numbers of striped bass, bluefish, scup,seabass, sharks and tuna.Best fluke fishing is occurring when the wind and tide

are together. South shore areas such as Center Wall ofHarbor of Refuge, Carpenters, Green Hill andCharlestown Beach have all been productive. Rememberto move to deeper waters when water temperatures in-crease, you may even be in 80 feet of water. Block Island’sWest and South Side are other popular August locations.

Rocky bottom areas outside Center Wall of Harbor ofRefuge, Hooter Buoy, and Carpenters have been seabasshot spots. Paul Tukey landed a 6.1-pound seabass fishingthe south shore. Scup have been mixed in with theseabass, and are great fun when fishing with children.Anglers have been challenged fishing stripers so far

this season; however, some large cows have been landed.Every day the fishing gets better. Richard Chappell wasled to a special rock pile off Point Judith and landed a58-pounder with Ray Rao aboard the Karen Ray. FredWeber weighed in a 50-pound striped bass off the South-west Ledge. Anglers fishing live eels during the nighthave caught the largest fish. Day-trolling with umbrellas

to the bottom, where these critters hang out. Find struc-ture – including wrecks, rock piles and reef edges – andstart chumming. When the porgies are biting, it’s a greattime to bring along guests, especially kids, since this typeof fishing will keep all rods bent until they run out of baitor energy.

Richard will be a junior at Binghamton University thisfall, where he’s majoring in biology with a minor in envi-ronmental studies. His fishing, boating, birding, photog-raphy, environmental activities, and outdoor writing willcontinue full-steam ahead, so you can count on seeingmore of his articles and forecasts in upcoming issues ofPoints East.

on the Southwest Ledge and Southeast Side of Block Is-land is the next best option. Fishing for bluefish has also been good at Southwest

Ledge, East Grounds, and in Narragansett Bay. Trollingumbrellas and top-water lures, and diamond jigging haveall produced great catches.Offshore fishing, when the weather permits, has been

awesome. Seems all vessels departing for tuna groundsare coming back with bluefin tuna, yellowfin andmahi-mahi, depending upon the locations being fished.Fairway Buoy and Acid Barge are closest bluefin tuna lo-cations. Fish Tales has produced yellows, a few albacoreand mahi. Day-trolling has been best; there has not beenmuch of a night chunk bite. Joe Shute lures have beenkey, along with Rapala X-Rap Divebait 30 Feet trollinglures. Check in with local tackle shops for up-to-date re-ports.Shark fishing has been great, with an early start con-

sidering the cold water temperatures to start the year.Mako sharks, blues and threshers have been landedfrom the Suffix, Horns and Gully. Bill Fazano releasedboth a mako and a thresher in a day while fishing theSuffix; the fish were 150 to 250 pounds.Keeping fingers crossed for nice weather!Elisa Cahill, a Point Judith Pond native, has managed

Stephanie Louise Kwolek90, Wilmington, Del. The DuPont Co. scientist, whose re-

search on polymers in the 1960s led tothe creation of Kevlar – the light, su-per-strong synthetic fabric used inropes, hulls and racing sails as well asbulletproof vests and body armor diedon June 18. As a chemist at DuPont, Kwolek made her greatest

mark with her 1965 work on a liquid crystal polymerthat, dissolved in solvent and pressed through a deviceresembling a very fine colander, became a fiber fivetimes stronger than steel, ounce for ounce. Patentedas Kevlar, it found many industrial applications, mostnotably protecting soldiers and police officers from bul-lets and shrapnel. In the 1970s, it was adopted as thepreferred material in bullet-resistant vests, replacingearlier alternatives such as nylon, fiberglass and boroncarbide. A 1974 “New York Times” article, headlined“Kevlar Enters Spotlight as New Miracle Fiber,” men-tioned other potential uses, such as mooring offshoreoil platforms and strengthening yacht sails.”

David Bradley Jenkins83, Duxbury, Mass.Dave passed away in the early hours of

June 17, a day after celebrating a gloriousFathers Day. Dave was on too many com-mittees to count at the Duxbury YachtClub. He notably chaired the committee torebuild the clubhouse at the DYC, and as the Land UseChair, led several other initiatives to improve the clubfacilities, while still maintaining its family emphasis andvalue-driven orientation. He was a typically active andcontributing member of the Duxbury Yacht Club. Dave is professionally best recognized as the CEO of

Shaw’s Supermarkets, who took what was Brockton Pub-lic Markets and turned it into the revered grocery re-tailer known as Shaws. He learned the grocery businessfrom the ground up, stocking shelves and pushing carts(activities it was common to see him performing evenwhile the CEO of a public company); as a result, Dave

could find value and improve things where a less hands-on person could not have.

Do you ever find that while visiting a seasidetown by car, you look out over the harbor, seepeople on their boats, and wish you were out

there on the water as well? Those boaters obviouslyare having a better time exploring an island in theharbor or heading out to a secluded beach than youare … stuck onshore with a car. Alternatively, when cruising, do you find that once

ashore you long for your own wheels, so you can drivesomeplace – to that great locale or attraction that isbeyond walking distance? I do. Seems we are neversatisfied. My husband and I sail the coast of New England in

our 36-foot Jeanneau, Toujours. We cruise to variousports of call and enjoy the experience of approachinga town from the water, exploring the harbor in ourdinghy, or going ashore courtesy of a launch. It’s fun

to explore a town after you emerge from a boat, hoponto the dock and begin a new onshore adventure. Once ashore we always pick up all the tourist liter-

ature, even if we’ve been there before, and try to seesome local sights that are new to us. But additionalsites of interest are always just beyond our range; wedon’t have at our disposal opportunities that call forthe car. Those opportunities become experiences de-ferred for another time, when we have a car and noboat. Last summer, we found the perfect solution to this

dilemma: Cruise to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard,have someone meet you and drive you to explore theland beyond. No, we didn’t hire Boston Coach or a pri-vate limo, or even meet up with a friend with a car. Wemet the Trustees of Reservations’ beach safaribuggy/van and had the opportunity to explore the

One if by land . . .

beaches of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.The Trustees of Reservations is a non-profit organi-

zation with property holdings all around the Common-wealth of Massachusetts. These properties are ofscenic, historic or ecological significance and are pre-served by the Trustees of Reservations (the Trustees)for generations to come. The Trustees host specialevents, tours and programs of interest at many of theirproperties. The properties (and memberships) are opento everyone, and members can take advantage of manyof these events at special pricing.We first became aware of a great opportunity to ex-

plore the beach at Coskata-Coatue when we hadcruised to Nantucket and were spending several dayson the boat at the Nantucket Boat Basin. We’d alreadydone the “shop crawl” in Nantucket, toured the remod-eled Whaling Museum, hit most of the restaurants atone season or another, seen the Coffin House and someof the other historic sites, walked the “secret” walkingtrails, biked to ’Sconset, toured the Lifesaving Mu-seum – what else to do? I couldn’t drum up any inter-est in going to the Nantucket Lightship BasketMuseum. The local paper had a listing of all the “doings” by

day, and it listed a Natural History Tour trip toCoskata-Coatue offered by the Trustees of Reserva-tions. The listing enticed us: “Join our experiencedguide on this three-hour 4x4 over-sand vehicle tour,

and learn about the fascinating flora and fauna thatcall Coskata-Coatue home!” The tour started within walking distance of the Boat

Basin at the Maria Mitchell Science Center, went outas far as Nantucket Light (Great Point, Fl. W. ev. 5 s.,R. sect. 084°-106°), and made a quick stop at theWauwinet Gate House. This piqued our interest. Wewere already members of the Trustees and had greatinterest in exploring their properties. Also, we hadseen Great Point Lighthouse as we sailed fromChatham to Nantucket, but we had never been out tovisit it, and we have often enjoyed having lunch at Top-pers, the restaurant at the Wauwinet Inn.We called and made reservations for the next morn-

ing’s trip and asked if they would drop us off at theWauwinet Inn after the tour, instead of bringing usfull-circle back to town. They said they would be happyto drop us off, so we also made reservations for a latelunch at Toppers. We packed our sunscreen for the tourand a change of clothes for lunch. We walked just ashort ways from the Boat Basin to the appointed spotto meet up with the tour. It was early in June, and the season had not quite

begun in Nantucket; not many people were out andabout. We waited and waited, and no one else appearedaround the sign that advertised that the “Trustees of

Royal River Boat began in the early 1950’s when Adolphus Dugaswith the help of his sons, Joe and Al started clearing recently pur-chased land in order to build a small commercial boatyard. At thatpoint, the business was a part-time, do-it-yourself yard for local fish-ermen.

Although incorporated in 1963the family’s dream of a full-serv-ice boatyard began to take shapein 1977 when Alan Dugas joinedhis family’s company. A smallrepair shop became expanded.Power was added, a marine sup-ply store was established. In 1984dredging began for a new marina,with floats and a 50 ton traveliftto accommodate pleasure boats.Between 1991 and 2000, a paint and fiberglass shop, sail loft and rig-ging shop, (now Bayview Rigging and Sails) and becoming an author-ized Mercury outboard dealership.

Today, the boatyard is still owned and operated by the Dugas family.With Alan as the head of the company, he circulates throughout theyard giving a hand in each department. Elaine Dugas, his mother, hasbeen working in the office as a bookkeeper for about 50 years and con-tinues to work full time. His brother, Bobby, has been working as aforeman in the yard for roughly 27 years. Of the fourth generation ofthe Dugas family, Alan’s son, Andy, and daughter, Molly, are bothinvolved in the family business. Along with the members of the Dugasfamily, we also have a hard-working crew that has been with us longterm, has helped our company thrive, and has become like family.

In the past couple years, the yard has undergone some major renova-tions and we are now a state of the art, eco-friendly facility offeringservices that meet all of your boating needs. Stop by our store to pickup the current issue of Points East.www.royalriverboat.com

Reservations Meet Here.” We began to get a little ner-vous that we had the wrong date/time, but our guidedrove up in a white van sporting the familiar Trustees’logo to meet us. We were to have a private tour, as we were the only

people who signed up for that tour. Our guide was aNantucket native, a gentleman who retired to the Is-land after spending much of his career on the main-land. He was personable, chatty and, of course,knowledgeable about the Island and its flora andfauna. We drove from Nantucket Town out to theCoskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge (pronounced co-skate-uh coat-oo), about 10 miles out the Polpis Road to theWauwinet Road. In and of itself, that was a great trip,our guide pointing out landmarks, remarking aboutinteresting sidebars and stories of famous summer vis-itors all along the drive. We drove to the Wauwinet Gate House, where he

stopped to let out the air in the tires of the van beforewe drove past the Wauwinet Inn and onto a beachroad. With tires deflated, we began our journey on thesand road out to the two peninsulas that comprise therefuge. Our guide told us all about the landscape (orcoastscape) – its history, some sea stories and locallore, and described the creatures and plants that in-habit the area. It was a treat to bump along the over-sand-vehicle routes. We were privileged to be the only people out at that

time – and with the added benefit of being with an in-sider. We learned about the shifting sand dunes, theforest of oak and the savanna of red cedar, the tidalpools, and the eroding beach that takes a poundingfrom the great Atlantic Ocean. It was interesting tosee the diversity of typography within this sandy area.The beach plums had just finished blossoming, andthey were beautiful. Heather also blooms in abun-dance. We were careful not to get out of the van near great

stretches of poison ivy. From the van, we saw heron,seals, osprey, oystercatchers, and seemingly hundredsof seagull chicks hiding in the bushes and sand dunes.While full-grown seagulls are commonplace and notterribly attractive, fluffy, baby chicks peeking out frombehind their mother’s legs were adorable. Mama gullsare fearlessly protective of their offspring, dive-bomb-ing the van if we lingered too long to admire. A large contingent of piping plovers had recently

laid their eggs in the tire tracks along the beach. So,unfortunately, the beach road to the Great Point Light-house was closed. We were not able to continue the vantrip out to the extreme northwest tip of the refuge tovisit the light. We understood, but were disappointed.The lighthouse is open for touring, but that wouldhave to be postponed for another visit for us. (Latesummer is a more reliable time to be able to continue

on to the light, after the birds have matured.) Our van driver took us in a loop along the Head of

the Harbor. We felt far removed from the fashionablevacation homes and early summertime bustle of Nan-tucket. The refuge, rugged and serene, is incrediblybeautiful and fragile. We got a good look back towards the island, with its

weathered-shingle homes, and we could see across thewater that a big, colorful tent was being erected at theWauwinet Inn in preparation for an evening wedding.The van completed the loop and returned to the sandroad that passes the Wauwinet Inn to end our visit toCoskata-Coatue Refuge. We said our good-byes to our Trustees of Reserva-

tions guide and changed our clothes for an elegantlunch on the patio at Toppers. If you wonder how wegot back to the Boat Basin, the Inn has a van thattakes their guests into town, so we hitched a ride backwith them. Interestingly, the Nantucket Boat Basinand the Wauwinet Inn, among other Nantucket prop-erties/resort facilities, are all under the same manage-ment. We’d had a wonderful day exploring the extreme tip

of Nantucket on two different vans, and didn’t evenpay for the gas. With that great experience, I wentback home and researched the Trustees of Reserva-tions’ website (www.thetrustees.org) to find what otherland/sea connections we could make. I was intriguedby a trip to Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge, another greatbeach, on Chappaquiddick Island, Martha’s Vineyard. We made the trip to Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard

on our boat in late summer with another couple. Ourreservations to the Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge weremade well in advance as we were now in the high sea-son, and we wanted to make sure we would be able tosecure reservations for four. We stayed on Toujours inEdgartown Harbor for the weekend. On the appointed day of our tour, the four of us piled

into the dinghy and landed on the beach on theChappy side of where the On Time, the Chappy ferry,docks. About the time we’d secured the dinghy, the fa-miliar white Trustees of the Reservations van pulledup. A local woman was our driver, and, again, we could-n’t have found a more personable and knowledgeableguide. She drove us to the Trustees’ Chappaquiddickheadquarters, at their garden called Mytoi. The van trip is approximately three miles out on the

Chappaquiddick and Dike Bridge Roads, which areabout the only paved roads on the Island. As with ourNantucket excursion, we were fortunate to be the onlyvisitors on the tour. We switched from the van to theiropen-air “safari buggy,” which was perfect on a warm,summer day for absorbing all the sounds, smells andsights Cape Poge had to offer us.The refuge is almost 1,000 acres of preserved land

and beach, stretching from Wasque Point to the south,

north to Cape Poge Light and curling west around toCape Poge Gut. In the “safari buggy,” we drove fromMytoi to the sand roads of Cape Poge. There were lotsof cars right on the beach – fishermen, picnickers andsunbathers. They were all but forgotten as our safaribuggy headed into the dunes, and we soon found our-selves alone with just the shore birds for company. Our driver explained about the ecological history of

Cape Poge, and had for our use both binoculars andguidebooks for the proper identification of birds andflora. She explained about the significant erosionalong the shore. Only the chimneys of several beachhouses remained to remind us how transitory life is onthe coast, and the cliff swallows were the only resi-dents in the former house foundations now left in thedunes. As we approached Cape Poge Light (Fl. W. ev. 6 s.),

our guide explained that the first lighthouse was builtin 1801, but that it has been both rebuilt and movedseveral times. Lighthouse keepers reported that thelight was precariously near the cliffs, and the ocean re-lentlessly erodes the dunes. Land was purchased wellinland, and the lighthouse was moved to avoid thescourge of the sea. We stopped at the lighthouse and eagerly climbed to

the top, through a trap door and up a steep ladder, andwere rewarded with a phenomenal 360-degree view of

Cape Poge Bay, Vineyard Sound, the Atlantic Oceanand Edgartown Harbor, on a clear, blue-sky day. TheLighthouse is managed by the Trustees, but the auto-mated lantern is maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard.There are some artifacts on display at the lighthouse,and our guide was knowledgeable about all facets ofits history. Back we came by a different beach road, having vis-

ited beach and dunes and stands of eastern red cedars.We were driven back to Mytoi, then transferred backinto the van and returned to the beach by the Chappyferry, where we’d left our dinghy. What a great experi-ence, and what a wonderful way to see and learn moreabout Chappaquiddick. So, who needs a car? Our dilemma has been solved.

We’d rather cruise to a wonderful port, be met by aknowledgeable guide in a serviceable vehicle, anddrive to the beach.Marilyn Brigham, with her co-captain/spouse Paul,
