EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Marsh

I sweat the small stuff

“Small stuff” is a generalterm for small cordage usedfor light lashings or stops,

seizings, service, etc.,” reads the defi-nition in the Cornell Maritime Press“Encyclopedia of Nautical Knowl-edge, “such as matline, houseline,spunyarn, roundline, or other tarredhemp line up to 15-thread ratlinestuff, or any untarred line up topoint-line, in size.”Nowadays, small stuff is often

treated like the poor stepchild of thecordage family. This is because muchof it is scavenged from shop floorsand boatyard and marina storagelots. Bits and pieces, of no particularimportance in and of themselves, butbursting with the seeds of signifi-cance. The following “small stuff” was

sifted from the sweepings off the shopfloor of my mind after my finest sail of the summer.Before I’d set off, I’d re-tensioned the turnbuckles ofthe shrouds and headstay, and because the day was soideal, I decided to tape the cotter pins when I got back.After a near-perfect Narragansett Bay sail thatdropped me into another century – under a blue skyand billowing Masefield clouds – I coasted up to thedock, reached for the bow line and ran the sharp endof a cotter pin along my forearm, slicing a fine red linealong its top. Nothing serious, but I knew better thanto delay wrapping a turnbuckle, and a small oversightturned into a larger consequence. Small stuff.I returned to my home, still clinging to the Masefield

spell, and checked my email. “Navy tests ocean dronesin RI’s Narragansett Bay,” read the subject line of thefirst message. Ingloriously ejected from my wind’s-song-and-white-sail’s-shaking reverie, I began readingthe “Boston Globe” story:“Newport, R.I.–Just beneath the placid, sailboat-dot-

ted surface of Narragansett Bay, torpedo-shaped vehi-cles spin and pivot to their own rhythm, carrying outmissions programmed by their U.S. Navy masters.“The bay, known as a playground for the rich, is the

testing ground for the Naval Undersea Warfare Centerin Newport, where the Navy is working toward its goalof achieving a squadron of self-driven, undersea vehi-cles.“One of the gadgets recently navigated its own way

from Woods Hole, Mass., to Newport, completing sev-

eral pre-set tasks in what the mili-tary calls an unprecedented feat.“Technology under consideration

by the military is often testedaboard cylinder-shaped vehicleswith a diameter of about 20 inches.But the center also tests its ownprototypes, including one dubbedRazor, which can propel itself by us-ing flippers, like a turtle, forstealth.”Well, Narragansett Bay is my

“playground,” too (though I don’thave one of L. Francis’s wooden potsin which to . . . well, relieve myself,if you catch my leeway), and a 20-inch-diamater cylinder I could notsee had powdered decades of roman-tic imagery as No. 8 shot would aclay pigeon. Small stuff becoming bigstuff, for me at least.Thinking the Apocalypse was in-

deed upon us, I scrolled down the missives till my eyesstopped at a BBC offering: “Woman Jailed for SinkingHusband’s Yacht.” “Brighton, U.K.–Mandy Fleming,47, sank the Double Dragon after becoming angry withher ex for spending money on the vessel,” the story be-gan. “The Old Bailey heard she drilled three holes inthe hull and turned on cooker gas taps, turning the£75,000[$117.584] yacht into a ‘bomb.’ . . . . Old BaileyJudge Richard Hone told her: ‘You were a manipula-tive, angry and troubled individual.’“Fleming had gone to the marina to meet her then

lover . . . and his wife . . . for a menage-a-trois, the courtheard. But she ‘lost it’ after seeing her estranged hus-band . . . had bought a new television and other itemsfor the boat, when he had told her he did not have anymoney. . . . An estimated £40,000 damage had beencaused to the yacht.” Revenge for maybe $500 worthof merchandise was $62,712 worth of destruction anda jail sentence. Small stuff. Mariners over the centuries have learned to sweat

the small stuff because little things quickly becomelarge ones in a seaway. I know I have, and I’ll tapethose turnbuckles before I go to sea like I used to. AndI will no longer leave my chandlery shopping bags inthe trunk of the car until the coast is clear at home.With the thought of the Mandy Flemings of the world,their drills, and their perverse escapades fresh in mymind, it’s no longer worth the risk.

Small stuff, bursting with the seedsof significance.

Points East September 2012

Reflections on Limpopo cruiseHe espoused the virtues of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer

while wolfing down sausage. He used a melon as awindblock while making coffee over a can of Sterno.He affectionately referred to us, for days, as “dunces.”So imagine my surprise when, in describing our sail-ing/camping trip (“The Little Ships of Dunces,” August2012), editor NimMarsh referencedRudyard Kipling,and the ConnecticutRiver was trans-formed, quite won-derfully, into “thegreat, grey-green,greasy Limpopo.” How perfect. I’ve

lived here all my lifeand never heard itdescribed as beauti-fully. It just goes toshow: Never under-estimate a guy whodrinks cheap beerand quotes YogiBerra!The weekend was

an amazing one formany reasons, but itwas my six-year-old son, Noah, who really put it overthe top. Gave us some perspective. He kept saying, asthe lights of Essex twinkled across the harbor, “Canyou really believe we’re actually living in the wildright now?” What we did that weekend was the equivalent of

pitching a tent in the backyard, but, man, did it feellike an escape. Like we were light-years from civiliza-tion. The thunderstorm Nim mentioned in his articlenever materialized, and we had the river to ourselves.The ominous clouds parted, and we witnessed a spec-tacular sunset. They were stolen moments. Beautifulmoments. And they were right in my backyard.

Bob MugglestonEast Hampton, Conn.

“Swallows and Amazons For Ever,” Bob and Noah.

There were no grounds for trustI am writing in response to Jim Love’s letter in the

August issue, entitled “Race Encounter Was Unset-tling,” offering what I hope will be one of the “thought-

ful replies” he requested.Mr. Love’s description of the incident is detailed and

concise. His interpretation of the right-of-way roles ofthe vessels involved seems correct. It seems the “un-settling” part of the encounter was caused by a differ-ence in the assessments of the situation held by Mr.Love and the captain of the unidentified schooner.On the USCG website, in “Navigation Rules Online,”

Rule #17 states: “Action By Stand-on Vessel: Whereone of two vessels is to keep out of the way, the othershall keep her course and speed. The latter vessel may,however, take action to avoid collision by her maneu-ver alone as soon as it becomes apparent to her thatthe vessel required to keep out of the way is not takingappropriate action in compliance with these rules.”Mr. Love’s discomfort seems to have arisen from an

opinion about the urgency or closeness of the comingpass that did not agree with that of the professionalcaptain of the schooner. He reportedly felt the schoonercould or would hit him. The reported actions of theschooner suggest that she felt that her turning off thewind was sufficient to avoid Mr. Love’s craft, and thatMr. Love’s course change, just as she did so, was notappropriate. I believe that yelling and gesturing insuch situations is a time-honored marine tradition,meant to be instructive.While racing vessels have no special rights of way,

they are focused on sailing as fast and on-course aspossible; they may often be willing to pass closer tocrossing vessels than non-racers are accustomed to.Such close passes cannot be comfortable if one captaindoes not know the capabilities of the other. PerhapsMr. Love’s letter could have been titled “A Matter ofTrust.”

Neil WoodsideRockport, Maine

This windjammer acted arrogantlyJim Love’s letter in your August issue reminded me

of an unnecessarily uncomfortable experience I alsohad with a windjammer coming out of Camden a cou-ple years ago. I was coming down from Belfast in my 30-foot sail-

boat, headed for Rockland close-hauled on a port tack,with the mainland close by to starboard, also in briskand choppy conditions. A windjammer (one of thesmaller, more maneuverable, ones) came out fromCamden and crossed my track well ahead on a star-board beam reach. No problem there. But instead of continuing further east before head-

Noah Muggleston could hardly be-lieve he was “actually living in thewild” with Dad and his pals.

ing north, it came around too soon putting us on a col-lision course. I kept thinking it would bear off to theeast, at least enough for us to pass port to port allow-ing me to continue on my track, but no, it kept comingstraight at me. I couldn’t fall off the wind since that would have put

me between the bell and the shore, just north of theentrance to Camden Harbor, and giving me Curtis Is-land as an uncomfortable lee shore if not actual land-fall. I was forced to come about and head eastward ofthe windjammer to avoid a collision. I felt the wind-jammer acted arrogantly and contrary to the rules ofthe road.

Dustin PeaseRockland, Maine

Jim Love responds: Thanks Dustin. I have no interestin starting a “dump-on schooners” thread. I am inter-ested in ideas for how to handle the situation.

‘Private buoys’ are USCG navaidsI enjoyed Joel Gleason’s article, “Muscobe’s March to

Mecca,” in the August issue, but want to correct astatement made by the author on page 3 regardingpassage to Wiscasset Maine down the Back River: “Atthe Eastern side of the bay, you can go north up theBack River, which takes you to Wiscasset. But it’smarked only with unreliable private buoys, and youneed to watch your depthfinder and plotter to remainafloat.”I live on the Back River in Wiscasset and run our 42-

foot boat down the channel regularly. It is well markedthe full length by small traditional buoys that are seteach season by the Coast Guard and retrieved eachfall to prevent ice damage. The channel’s shallowest point is nine feet, and as

long as you maintain a watch to stay in the channel,there is plenty of depth. This is a real shortcut to Wis-casset coming in from the Sassanoa River, and it’s abeautiful ride with less current than in the Sheepscot.The only strong current is when you approach theWestport Island Bridge, where the water funnelsthrough a narrower opening.Cruising this part of the world is well worth the ex-

tra effort as you will see some of the most beautifulcrusing grounds in the U.S.

Birders are at top of their gameWe have just returned from a monthlong cruise

through New England waters aboard our Albin 34Paumanok. My first stop on the way home was to pickup the latest Points East, one of my favorite boatingpublications. There is always so much of interest and

just plain “good reads.” I enjoyed the August issue as much as usual, but do

want to point out an error in the bird identification inthe photo on page 27 in your feature story of “Mus-cobe’s March to Mecca.” The bird in the photo is actu-ally a greater shearwater and not a laughing gull.They are pelagic and strong winds sometimes blowthem in closer to shore. My husband and I have en-joyed many good looks of greater, Cory’s, and Manxshearwaters over the years, and I hope that others doas well. Thank you for a fine publication.

Marcy Klattenberg Pilots Point MarinaWestbrook, Conn.

This bird is no laughing matterI enjoyed reading Joel Gleason’s article in your Au-

gust issue, “Muscobe’s March to Mecca.” I particularlyliked the fine photo of the greater shearwater on page27, top right. Understandable that a nonbirder wouldidentify it as a laughing gull; I am envious of the sight-ing, as it has not yet been vouchsafed to me. I usedRoger Tory Peterson for the shearwater ID. As a long-time birder I am amazed at how I always go back tohim in the end. Good find, Mr. Gleason!

Susan WoodsideRockport, Maine

Editor’s note: Joel had the shearwater correctlyidentified. The editor still struggles with bird IDs.

Honor our ‘Other Coast Guard’It may seem strange to hear praise for

lobstermen/women coming from a sailor whose boatdraws five feet and often has to weave his way throughmazes of lobster buoys. Yet, based on my experiences,there is good reason to appreciate them. Sometimes, Ithink of the people who lobster as the Other CoastGuard. On one occasion, I had just transited Memorial

Bridge in my steel sloop Wanderlaar, and was off thePortsmouth Naval Shipyard when my engine came toa sudden halt. I couldn’t shift out of gear. After raising

The next time you see a lobsterboat at work, smile, and ap-preciate these great members of our marine community.

sail, avoiding a tug and tow with a light headwind andthe current turning against me, I anchored just out-side the channel near the bridge. I was worried about being swept on the bridge if my

anchor dragged. I called the Coast Guard to advisethem of the situation, and they asked that I check inwith them by radio every 15 minutes. A short timelater, a lobsterman stopped by and offered a tow to amooring so I could straighten things out. He wouldn’taccept anything other than a thank you.I do independent video productions and was shoot-

ing footage for my “Practical Kayaking” program. I wasout by Wood Island Light (Biddeford area) and quitefar from land in the early spring. A lobstermanstopped by and asked if everything was OK. I have afriend who kayaks out to Maine islands year-roundand camps on them – even in the winter. The lobster-men have also checked that things were going wellwith him.When I was shooting a program on New England, I

wanted to shoot a typical day on a lobsterboat. RoyKnight and his crew on Pioneer in South Harpswell,Maine, were kind enough to allow me to shoot them atwork from sunrise to late afternoon, and went out oftheir way to be helpful. It was truly amazing to seehow hard these men worked at a sustained high pacethroughout the day. Talk about the work ethic!Then there are the secondary benefits. Some boaters

complain about having to dodge the buoys that markthe traps. Yet these buoys provide useful informationto every navigator: the direction and strength of thecurrent, provided at no charge to the taxpayer.So the next time you see a lobsterboat at work,

smile, and appreciate these great members of our ma-rine community.

Forgot Jim Sharp’s salty museum I just finished reading the July issue of Points East

and the article “Field Trips for the Whole Family” bySusan Cornell. It was well done, but I was disap-

pointed to see that Jim Sharp’s Sail, Power and SteamMuseum wasn’t included. I’m a volunteer there as well as being a member of

the board. There are many interesting things alwaysgoing on there, including an ongoing project to com-plete a Friendship Sloop. Steve Cartwright wrote anarticle about this project for Points East a couple ofmonths ago. More recently, a 40-foot, 1944 Navylaunch – tender to the Navy repair vessel Vulcan, builtby the Brooklyn Navy Yard – was donated to the mu-seum.

The editor loved that flying bridgeJust picked up the latest Points East and read my

latest of the “Muscobe Chronicles.” Thanks for givingme so much ink. Two littlecorrections: You indicatethat Muscobe has a flyingbridge. As you may recall,I removed the bridge sev-eral years ago. Also, I be-lieve the bird pictured onpage 27 is a shearwater –not a laughing gull (ac-cording to my Audubonbird book).Randy and his wife, Na-

MYSTERY HARBOR/And the winner i s . . .

Mystery Harbor offers something for everyone“Hey the Mystery Harbor is Orrs Cove !” “Are you sure?” “Take a close look!” Sure ‘nough. Orrs Cove is home

of the Great Island Boat Yard (GIBY) and our homeaway from home for the past five years.It appears the photo was taken in the spring as

there are only a few boats at the docks, no boats areon their moorings and few docks line the shore. PoleIsland is magnified and appears to fill Quahog Bayand looks like no island at all. So, it takes the sharpeyes of a sailor to see the details.Orrs Cove is the western most cove extending north

from Quahog Bay. In the summer, it can easily be iden-tified by masts of moored sailboats. It is well protected,although strong south winds can funnel into the southend of the cove. It is very well protected at the GIBYdocks. There is no room to anchor in Orrs Cove due to the

number of private moorings and GIBY moorings.Transient moorings and dockage are available fromGIBY, as well as showers, pump-out, water, gas anddiesel. The Wheelhouse Cafe has recently opened andserves breakfast and lunch. For those wishing to anchor, there is plenty of room

to anchor in Quahog Bay, with good protection northor south of Snow Island. Holding ground in mud isgood. Viewing the bald eagles and Osprey nesting andfishing is a favorite pastime, and our grandchildrenlove to watch the seals. Quahog Bay is a favorite des-tination for many boaters in the Portland area.Entering Quahog Bay looks daunting with all the

hazards on the Casco Bay chart. From the east, dili-gently follow the markers east of Bailey Island, OrrsIsland, and around Gun Point. From the west followthe markers on the chart from the New MeadowsRiver for Goudy Ledge, North Jenny Ledge and ElmIslands.

Entering Quahog Bay, go on either side of Pole Is-land, staying clear of the ledges clearly shown southand north of Pole Island. If the western passage isused, slow down to reduce any wake for the lobsterdocks. We have greatly enjoyed spending time in Orrs

Cove. We have seen ice all the way to Pole Island inwinter, have swum in the warmer water in the sum-mer. And we had an unexpected preview of the airshow when the Blue Angels practiced their low-levelmaneuvering over us. Once you’ve seen a low-flying jetfighter appear over Snow Island and flip on its side foran easy view of the pilot’s blue eyes, you don’t forgetthe experience.We are writing this as we cruise Downeast on Lib-

erty, our 34-foot Tartan. We enjoy reading the articlesin Points East, and use it as a reference for new placesto visit and see.

Real piratesPerspectives

My last stop on my sailing book tour thissummer was to give a talk at a lovelyseaside resort in Casco Bay. It was

here that I encountered a tour boat full of play-acting pirates. Now, few things are certain inlife, but one is that every single play-acting pi-rate (as well as those interacting with the play-acting pirates) will invariably say (and keepsaying), “Arrrrrrr, Matey.” Let’s make one thingclear: No real pirate every uttered that phrase,nor did any pirate do it in a raspy voice. And noeye patches or hooks.I know this because I once sailed with two

real pirates. I met these two ragged, forlorncreatures in a seedy bar in Edgartown on Martha’s Vine-yard. I was in this bar because I was on a mission. I wason a mission because I desperately needed crew. I hadbeen hired by a charterboat company to sail a 42-footsloop from Rhode Island to St. Thomas for their charterseason. The boat was late getting ready. It was late in theseason. My original crew was late and stuck in the Mid-west. And the boat was booked for its first charter inthree weeks. Someone in another bar in Newport told me about

these two seafaring creatures who maintained two barstools in a watering hole on the Vineyard. He told methey might be available as crew. “They’re good sailors,”he said. “Don’t let any of the other stuff scare you.” So I ferried over to the Vineyard to “interview” them.

Indeed, I found them right away on those two bar stoolsin the aforementioned seedy bar. They were indeed avail-able to sail south at a moment’s notice. One had very sad,vacant eyes. The other’s eyes seemed to still hold theremnants of a long-ago mischievous nature, though nowthey were mostly filled with a look of resignation. We consummated the deal, which was simply that they

get aboard the next day in Newport. Their eyes lifted atad when I mentioned Newport. It must have been thescene of some past drunken escapades. They actually arrived the next day, one with a small

seabag, and the other, the one with the sad eyes, with nobelongings save for a very expensive camera. I suspectedhe came to own this through questionable procurementchannels. We settled aboard. I mentioned that the boatwas quickly prepared for sea, and consequently we wouldbe sailing without a whisker pole. That evening, my crewwent ashore for some last-minute partying. I thought itbest to stay aboard the evening prior to heading offshore,

and continued stowing things, including a bot-tle of rum with which to celebrate landfall. Twenty-four hours later, we were 50 miles

at sea. When I came on deck for my watch, wewere running downwind; the genoa waswinged out nicely with the help of a first classwhisker pole. “Where did that come from?” Iasked. They both just shrugged.During the next few days, I tried to engage

each of them when on deck together. Mostlythey shut me out, though. It was clear theywere just a couple of sailing hitchhikers, look-ing for warmer climes in November, and notdisposed to sharing much. Obviously, all this

made me nervous, especially one evening when the sad-eyed one divulged that for “work” the two of them some-times teamed up to sink outdated and obsolete IORracing boats so the owners could collect the insurance. “Ipick him out of the water in a 13-foot whaler just as she’sgoing down. Looks like a delivery accident.” We stopped in Bermuda due to a bad weather forecast.

Despite the predicted gale, it was against my better judg-ment to stop: Those two loose in Hamilton at night wouldnot be a good thing. But, then again, they had no money,so what could they do ashore? Somehow, however, theymanaged to party hard each of the three nights. At first I didn’t care, but then pieces of the boat began

disappearing. I suspected fencing – and I don’t mean thekind with swords. Missing on morning one: new binocu-lars and a new man-overboard strobe. When confronted,they just shrugged. Missing on day two: a new handheldradio. They just shrugged. It was morning three whenthe outboard from the inflatable was missing that I de-cided to call the owner of the charter company back inRhode Island. “Fire their asses!” he said.“But I can’t prove it. And these two are my entire crew,”

I croaked.“Then get out to sea quick before they sell the damn

boat out from under you,” he yelled. And so we sailed the964 miles to St. Thomas to complete the delivery twodays before the first charter was to begin. “Let’s break out that rum I stowed,” I said, as I rum-

maged around in the locker where I’d planted it. Butthere was no rum bottle.And my crew just shrugged.“Arrrrrrrrrr!”Dave Roper’s “Watching for Mermaids” climbed to No.

GUEST PERSPECTIVE/John Sl ingerland

Confessions of a sailor

Iris Murdoch, in her award winning book “The Sea,The Sea,” says, “If you long and long for someone’scompany, you love them.” That describes my rela-

tionship to the sea. I am always longing to go for a sail.Whether it be rowing quietly out to the mooring, sittingon deck in a beautiful anchorage, going for a daysail, orheaving to in the Gulf Stream, there is a sense of com-panionship out there.Having spent last summer sailing again on our 32-

foot Bristol Paragon in Maine, I, likemany of you, enjoy reflecting on thosedays and the ones that lie ahead. I liketo take stock of where I am in life. I plot and scheme to get like-minded

people to join me. A lawyer by profes-sion, the plotting and scheming comesnaturally. Last summer was a hugesuccess. I tried a few new tactics thatsome of you might find useful. First Iwent international. Then I went high-tech. I finished with a buy-out. Going international, I signed up for

the Marblehead Halifax Race. Goinghigh-tech, I utilized the race webpageto contact crew. I wound up with three wonderfulcrewmembers. So, in one stroke, I had three crew whonot only sailed 350 miles to Halifax with me, but alsosailed numerous weekends out of Boothbay before therace. In addition, I had two more crew off the same web-page who met me in Halifax for the trip back to Maine. These tactics came with a price. Racing is not my

thing. I was not prepared. Somebody else tells you when

to start, where to end, you have to pay an entry fee todo this, and the purpose is to get to the finish as fast asyou can while leaving behind most of the comfortablestuff on your boat. I had the right people but the wrongboat.Paragon, with a racing PHRF-NE rating of 231 (31

higher than the maximum allowed for this event) iswonderfully slow. That was nothing new. Coming in lastwas easy to accomplish. Dropping out early to make the

last night’s celebration in Halifax wasmore difficult. Being almost sweptinto the Bay of Fundy by Blonde Rockwas truly unfortunate and causedsome consternation for those trackingus online. But learning about thesafety rules applicable to this race,mostly through one of my crew, got methinking about the racing crowd andthe cruising crowd.The rules require double lifelines. I

had only single lifelines. My number-one guy off the crew list had experi-ence racing. He could show me how todeploy the spinnaker. He even took

over the helm at the start after I nearly got us run overby a host of crazed big-boat sailors, one of whom startedyelling at me. Not only did this crewmember have anencyclopedic knowledge of all the rules, he was investedin them. He had spent his entire boat-ownership careertrying unsuccessfully to get up to code. So I felt that Imight lose him if I didn’t do the right thing. After a de-nial by the race committee for an exception, at some ex-

I plot and scheme toget like-mindedpeople to join me. Alawyer by profes-sion, the plottingand scheming comesnaturally.

pense double lifelines were installed. There is a book by David Nyberg,

“The Varnished Truth,” in which he,borrowing from the Greek poetArchilochus, describes people such asPlato, Lucretius, Dante, Hegel andDostoevsky, as hedgehogs. These folksrelate everything to a single centralvision in which there is a certain setof rules which governs the universe.There is another group of people –such as Herodotus, Aristotle andErasmus – who do not share this sin-gle central vision/the one big thing,but know many little things often un-related and contradictory, diffused and scattered.My feeling coming off the Marblehead-Halifax Race

was that there really might be some truth in this hedge-

hog-and-fox thing. Given my personal-ity, I had better get back to cruising,where the skipper makes some of therules and the ocean makes the rest ofthem. I was signed up for the Points East

Fundy Flotilla. This, too, would be anew experience, another source of find-ing future crew. This would be a greatfamily vacation. All five of us and adog. As it turned out, only me and thedog – Lucy, a black lab – were reallyexcited about going. I had never sailedfarther east on the coast of Maine thanMount Desert.

I had read about this next section of the coast andhow isolated it is. This would be a two week trip leavingNortheast Harbor and then going east via Grand

Manan and up through the Revers-ing Falls in Saint John, NewBrunswick. We would venture up the St. John

River and back to St. Andrews inPassamaquoddy Bay. We would bewined and dined at each port, un-der the careful and protective eye ofBernie Wideman – our flotillaleader. This would be the buy-out.However many bed and breakfastplaces it would take and chilled bot-tles of Chardonnay, no expensewould be spared. I could make thistrip work for my wife, Marcia, andour kids. I had read a book in the local li-

brary by William F. Buckley inwhich he relates the story of histrip up the St. John River. He saysin the book that it is the most beau-tiful river he has ever seen. I alsoknew some of the harsh realities.Huge tides, potential fog and rain,and distances between ports of upto 60 miles on our itinerary – noth-ing for the faint of heart on a boatlike Paragon. I also knew our family dynamics.

My wife had the requisite time offwork. Our 13-year-old daughter,Anna, had nothing planned in thisperiod, and she was sick of summercamp. My two college boys would betemporarily home from school andcould roll with the punches. Theywould be on board for the first fivedays, long enough to help sail theboat up to Saint John, and off soonenough to relieve the rest of us fromexcessive crowding.It worked. Over the course of 25

years of marriage and several morerecent years of intense lobbying, Ihad managed to get Marcia to say“OK.” Our dog Lucy and I loved thetrip. Lucy got to be included in ev-erything and could swim. Anna gotto do a lot of summer homeworkwith help from her brothers. Marciawas forced to be on a boat, whichkept her away from a full-time joboutside the house. Our boys gottime together as a family. For me, itwas as challenging and rewardingas any sailing.

The flotilla – as fast it seemed as the Halifax race-boats – consisted of 15 boats: eight power and sevensail. The average length of the sailboats, excludingParagon, was 44 feet. We had good weather but head-winds. First to leave and last to arrive at each port (ex-cept one), we twice had to leave the night beforeeveryone else and our departure times were off-script:1 a.m. out of St. Andrews (and down through Letite Pas-sage under full moon on a strong ebb tide, shootingstars overhead), 3 a.m. out of Grand Manan (into 30-knot headwinds and chop that swept the boat bow tostern, forcing us to retreat), 9 p.m. out of Gagetown(with my wife lighting up the nav buoys with a spot-light). But we never missed a cocktail party or dinner. We got to know great folks of every stripe on this

flotilla but, sadly, no other children. There was a doctor,a college professor, an artist, a farmer, and small-busi-ness entrepreneurs among others. They all owned, with-out exception, beautiful, fast and capable vessels. They

routinely cheered for us as we came into each harborlike lost sheep wandering home at night. And there was truly a feeling of camaraderie in this

flotilla. We were not the only ones being looked after –there were mechanical breakdowns and a few medicalsituations where folks with the right skills pitched in.It took Marcia and Lucy one more week of vacation

at home to recover. For my wife, bless her soul, therehas been a kernel planted that someday may grow intoa desire to do this again. For me – and all those whosailed with me or past me – this summer, there was ashared companionship with the sea. Beverly, Mass., resident John Slingerland has pur-

chased an Oyster 41, which will stay in the Carribeanuntil Spring 2013. “It will be with great sadness that wesay good-bye to Paragon,” he says, “but I think I’ll do con-siderably better keeping up with everybody if I do theflotilla again – and I may have an easier time talkingmy wife into going.”


GUEST PERSPECTIVE/Richard Gönci

An uncertain age

The muck of Boston Harbor was particularly mal-odorous at low tide midday in June of 1985. In-side our little renegade marine enclave in the

Fort Point Channel were moored a motley collection ofcraft – some functional, others not so much.Most noteworthy was the former Riker’s Island

prison ferry, now converted to offices, the m/v Chelsea.Now, “m/v” stands for “motor vessel,” but her ancientdiesels had long-since been stripped out, and she wasa nautical poseur. Alongside her protective bulk weretied sundry craft inhabited by souls on the margins,myself included. There was the lecherous post-middle-aged, once-prominent, electrical engineer whose pri-mary use of his aged wooden sailing vessel was toattract age-inappropriate female crew. I would havethought him a tad pathetic, but that would havebegged the question of my own lightly tethered holdon reality at the time.More ill kempt, but much younger, was Paul, the

owner of Snarleyow, an aged wooden power yacht. Nodescription I can craft is likely to improve on whatever

image sprang to your mind on hearing her very name:Snarleyow.That brings us to the most quizzically named craft

in our little harbor: Chicken Lips. Her quietly remark-able owner was Cliff. I was beyond fond of Cliff.Though wizened and diminutive, over several years hehelped me keep docks tied together in vicious gales,cleared boat-killer ice away from tender, old, woodenhulls, and performed a thousand other tasks, alwaysrefusing compensation. And if ever the expression“even-keeled” applied more to a man than to a vessel,it applied to him.An oft-observed landside phenomenon was the more-

than-occasional resemblance of dogs and their owners.In the floating domain of the Fort Point Marina, so itwas with Cliff and Chicken Lips. They were both a bit“off,” so to speak. But they were also both sturdier thantheir ages would suggest and surprisingly reliable.There was nothing pretty about either of them. Cliff

had painted the deck of his 16-foot runabout the colorof International Distress Orange. This is a hue so lurid

that it is used for safety markings the worldaround. Suffice it to say, orange is not a yachtycolor. The stout little boat was powered by arecalcitrant outboard of uncertain vintage. Cliff was also of uncertain vintage. Though

I knew he was retired, he really could havebeen anywhere between 55 and 75. The pri-mary reason for this, I believe, was his lifelongcigarette habit, two to three packs a day. Hisface was lined so deeply that good hygienewould have required something akin to exca-vation. As to the color of his skin, I will just bekind enough to say it wasn’t healthy looking.Cliff would venture out weekly to his lobster

traps. A six-trap license is like aquatic mannato a certain seaside denizen. It can be passedgeneration to generation, but is beyond thegrasp of most newbies. Now given the limitsof Chicken Lips’ seaworthiness (a function ofher diminutive size, not her stout heart), itwas good news that all of Cliff ’s traps werewithin the confines of Boston inner harbor. The less-good news is that back in the bad old days of a quar-ter-century ago, the floor of the harbor was a toxicstew, with more heavy metal than a bad 1970s concert.Lobsters are bottom-feeders. Maine lobster good;Boston Harbor lobster…scary.

Cliff ’s harvests were spotty at best. He always wentout on Fridays with the belief he’d be bringing home acouple of beauties for himself and his handicappedwife to enjoy on the weekend. All too frequently, he wasskunked, or only hauled a single, small but legal, crus-tacean.

But back to that Friday many years ago, when therecame, quite by accident, a paradigm shift in Cliff ’s lob-ster campaign. One of our Fort Point neighbors was anenergetic young Boston firefighter, who also had anewly purchased lobsterboat, which was impressive.She could, and did, go offshore with radio antennaebristling and radar rotating reassuringly.The marina was inside the truly ancient Northern

Avenue swing-bridge, whose functioning was less thanreliable due to worn and broken parts, both humanand mechanical. At high tide, nothing but the smallestlaunches could pass under her spans. This is relevantas, at high tide that day, Cliff spotted the new lobster-boat sitting almost decks-awash at her dock. “Decks-awash” is a nautical term meaning “about to sink.” Hecalled out to me, “Richie, call the Coast Guard.” I yelled back, “Cliff, they can’t get through the damn

bridge at high tide.” Just as I was frantically trying tothink of some solution, I heard the pocketa-pocketarumblings of Chicken Lips firing up. And there wasCliff, laboring mightily to load our large gas-firedpump into his small cockpit. I leapt to assist him, and we both motored off to the

vessel in distress. Once brought to life, the pump withits three-inch hose drained the water from the stoutnew boat in record time. The only evidence of the near-disaster was a very high scum line on the otherwise

pristine hull.Early evening that day, the owner of the rescued

craft sought us out. We both received rib-crushing bearhugs from this robust figure, and were nearly drownedin his tears of relief. He had lobbied long and hardwith his young wife to justify the boat’s purchase, andthe vessel’s insurance status was . . . uncertain, shallwe say. In his gratitude, he insisted on compensating us for

saving his pride and joy. Cliff started to demur, asusual, but the young man would not hear of it. Thenthe firefighter/lobsterman had a Solomonic epiphany.Slapping Cliff on the back so energetically it mighthave toppled him, he announced that every Friday fora year he would deliver to us six of his best catch. It was a brilliant stroke, and poetic to boot. Cliff

beamed, and I smiled inwardly at the thought of him“bringing home the bacon” all those Friday nights, tothe delight of his loving and tolerant wife.The deal was struck.

When Richard lived on a houseboat in the Fort PointChannel, he spent seven years restoring a 1939 53-footElco Tri-Cabin. He now owns a 1979 26-foot Paceship,called by “Practical Sailor” “the most pimped-out Pace-ship in America.” She lies in Beacon Marine Basin inGloucester, Mass.

The Salty Dawg Rally, a newcruising rally, kicked off its 2012season with more boats, moresponsors, new web domains, and ajoyful pre-departure barbecueparty in Nanny Cay, Tortola,B.V.I., that drew accolades fromthe Government of the Virgin Is-lands. The rally, free to all partic-ipants, leaves Hampton, Va., inthe fall, headed for the BritishVirgin Islands and otherCaribbean ports, and returns tothe participants’ homeports in thespring. It was founded by Bill andLinda Knowles of Bristol, R.I.,with their Jeanneau 54DS, Sap-phire, and their Jack Russell ter-rier, Brie, the original “SaltyDawg.” The Salty Dawg Rally is com-

prised of blue-water sailors whohave completed at least one blue-water passage. There is no formalinspection of each boat, since it isthe responsibility of each skipperto have proper safety equipmentand to ensure that the vessel isprepared for the passage. Infor-mation including weather, GulfStream analysis, location of ed-dies, and daily weather forecastsduring the passage is provided toeach skipper by well-knownweather router Chris Parker,courtesy of Rhode Island’s “BlueWater Sailing” magazine. Volun-teer Dick Giddings manages floatplans for all of the boats in thefleet, and maintains a daily SSBradio schedule, as well as daily po-sitions for everyone (via HF radioand SatPhone). It is each skip-per’s responsibility to decide thecourse and whether or not to setout for the passage. FMI: ContactBill and Linda Knowles at [email protected].

Eastport welcomes first cruise shipEastport, Maine, welcomed their first cruise ship Aug. 3.

She was the Grand Caribe, a 96-passenger small ship ownedand operated by Blount Small Ship Adventures out of Boston.According to Doug Parker’s Cruise Radio, their motto is, “Go-ing where the big ships cannot.” While Bar Harbor gets around

100 cruise ships per year, Eastport welcomes five calls thisyear, three from the Grand Caribe, Cruise Radio said, whichquoted Natalie Brown, a port authority employee as saying,“We have a cruise-ship committee that has been working forsome years to make this happen. For this first visit, we areonly charging the boat owners a minimal docking fee, as thisis more about promoting the community. We expect that thosewho come ashore will be spending money in downtown’sshops and restaurants.” FMI: blountsmallshipadventures.com,http://cruiseradio.net.

I’m 63. My wife, Louise, is younger. For variousreasons, 13 years ago we decided to “get into boat-ing.” Don and Louise’s friend Debbie had taken

us out, once, in his boat in the Merrimack River, andwe became infected with the pastime. Also, Louise’sfather had always had a watercraft of some type; hisstories were so memorable that she thought it wouldbe fun to buy a boat. The first step was to find it.

Boating has been an adventure and a thrill; now it’s a passion that’s resulted inboats of ever-increasing size. We see it becoming a career if we don’t run out of time.

upTrading

and up... and up...

Having been automobile repossessors, we felt con-fident in our abilities to spot a good deal. We beganour search by visiting boat dealers who handled re-possessions. We quickly found a suitable craft: a1989, 21-foot Four Winns. We made what we thoughtto be a skilled and outlandishly low-ball offer. To oursurprise, it was immediately accepted by the out-of-state bank, which even threw in a trailer. Our confi-dence somewhat shaken, we closed the deal and

brought it home. It was November.I am from Ohio…central Ohio. There is not much

water in central Ohio. Growing up, I never thoughtmuch about boats or boating. I firmly believed in myZodiac sign, which is land-based. My attempts atswimming and lifesaving merit badges had definedswimming, for me, as “staying alive in the water.”Many years ago, I moved from Ohio to inland

Maine on a whim, then from Maine to inland Mas-

A couple of years ago, we found the boat of our dreams, inEssex, Conn., and bought it: a 1991, 46-foot Post Sport-fish. Guess what? We don’t fish.

sachusetts for work, and thenfrom Massachusetts to inlandNew Hampshire for politicalreasons. Finally, I moved toHampton Beach, N.H., for self-employment. Until I was 50, mybeach business, being seasonal,did not allow for extracurricu-lar summer sporting activity;again, boating had not crossedmy mind. It entered our mindswhen I got a regular job withregular hours, benefits, week-ends free, and real vacations.So here we were, November 1996, a repo’d boat

named Half Mine (half hers and half mine; the brokenhalf always to be mine). It was stored in the side yardat the house, and we had no clue what to do with itcome springtime. The answer was to take a boating course. The course

was informative, but it was like learning how to drivea car without ever having been in one. The instruc-tions and terms were mysterious, foreign, overwhelm-ing and frightening. But this did not quell our

excitement (and anxiety)about the upcoming boatingseason. There is nothing somuch fun (and somewhatdaunting) as starting some-thing new.Don and Debbie’s boat, Mud-

slide, was docked at Larry’sMarina in the MerrimackRiver. Our new Half Minemanaged to secure a slip nextdoor, much to Don’s surprise.Someone from Larry’slaunched our boat and got it

into the slip for us. I was apprehensive from the first step I took onto

the boat in the water: It tipped back and forth, and itwas not as stable as it had been in the side yard, athome, on the trailer. Louise, of course, was more com-fortable since she was “experienced” (besides boatingwith her dad, she had owned a small sailboat with fourother families). Heart in hands (and stomachs inmouths) we started the motor, untied the lines, put itin reverse, and ventured forth on our first, never to be

It didn’t steer like a car, itwas tippy, we didn’t seem tohave control of it, and howin the world were we goingto get it back into that tinylittle slip we had just left?

A fine dinghy raft-up is form-ing at the stern of Don andDebbie’s boat, Mudslide, inthe Ipswich River.



repeated, highly anticipated, boat trip…to the first redmarker. “OH S#$!T” (something we’ve said many times since

that first voyage). It didn’t steer like a car, it was tippy,we didn’t seem to have control of it, and how in theworld were we going to get it back into that tiny little

slip we had just left? It is hard todescribe the trauma (and excite-ment) we felt at this first attemptat boating.The following weekend, Don

wanted to show us the trick to get-ting out of the mouth of the Merri-mack River (we’ve since discovered,and been told, that the mouth hasone of the most aggressive currentsin the Northeast). There were atleast 1,000 boats in the mouth thatmorning, with four- to six-foot

waves, close together, and we at-tacked them all at four knots. Wedidn’t know much about boating,but we did know that this was notcomfortable. But rather than quit,we persevered.The friendships we made that

first season have been enduring,and the experiences were so nu-merous and memorable that noth-ing can compare with them. Wequickly learned with our overnighttrips to the Essex River above

Gloucester, and to Portsmouth,N.H., and York and Kenneb-unkport, Maine, that our prized,21-foot cozy yacht, with no campercanvas, was not enough boat for ouradventures. We needed a biggerboat.We kept the Four Winns for that

one boating season before findingthe boat of our dreams, a 1989, 27-foot Carver Montego. It was to be ago-anywhere, stay-anywhere, live-aboard type of vessel. We werethrilled. It was our second season,our second boat, and we hadchanged marinas to be closer to theocean. We were now at Cove Ma-rina on the Merrimack River, closerto Newburyport with all its greatsummer activities. We were meet-ing new friends while still main-taining our old friendships.If the first year was an adven-

ture, the second was thrilling. Ourtrips included: the Charles Riverfor the Fourth of July; DiMillo’sMarina in Portland, Maine;Martha’s Vineyard; The DocksideRestaurant in Gloucester; Kenneb-unkport; York; the sighting of theEmerald City; and the trip onwhich we were escorted by the1,000 dolphins. It was astonishinghow much we learned in those firsttwo seasons, with the two blownmotors, the loss of steering, the bro-ken hoses and bent props – first-hand experience was truly our besteducation. Our new friend, Paul, never cared

much for the Carver. He said he’drather “have a bad headache thana Carver” (he had a 30-foot Sea RayExpress). But we loved our boat –until our trip at the end of our sec-ond season through the Cape CodCanal to Newport, R.I. It was avery rough trip with rough seas,and our lightweight Carver was nomatch for what we were asking ofher. Paul claimed he and Deb were“drinking champagne in stemware”while we were following him, hold-ing on for our lives. We needed abigger boat.Since Paul had been soooo com-

fortable on his Sea Ray, we optedfor a similar boat. Before boat shop-ping this time, we really did ourhomework. We knew, before look-ing, that we wanted a 34-foot SeaRay Express, built somewhere be-tween 1984-1987; anything newerwould be too expensive. We startedthe search, and found one at GreatBay Marina in Newington, N.H.Unfortunately it was not for sale. Itwas up on blocks and needed help,but it was a 1989. We tracked downthe owner, who said, “It’s not forsale.” We made him an offer any-way, which he accepted. Our thirdseason was starting with our thirdHalf Mine, and we were thrilled.Paul was so upset that we had abigger boat than his, he immedi-ately sold his 30-footer and got a39.The 34 was perfect. We went any-

where, anytime, and what a greatparty boat with full camper canvasand wide beam, rainy, dull nightsstuck at the docks weren’t so dullanymore. For seven seasons, Louiseand I took Half Mine from North-east Harbor, Maine, to LibertyLanding, N.J., and we loved everyminute of every adventure. This waswhen our boating pastime wentfrom an adventure and a thrill to apassion. Just the other morning, I asked

Louise what her three most memo-rable boating adventures have been.She immediately said her first wasseeing the Statue of Liberty whilecoming down the East River; hersecond was our trip from Castine,Maine, through the EggemogginReach; and her third was our bare-boat charter out of Road Town, Tor-tola, B.V.I., to Anegada Island.It amazes me how she and I can

have such different ideas. My mostmemorable voyages, to date, havebeen the “rogue wave” that brokeover our bow on the way out of theriver one day; the “assault on HogIsland” in the Essex River one nightby Paul and me; and the day the dol-phins traveled with us out beyondCape Ann.

Now, I’m 63 (Louise is younger).We had thought about buying acondo in Florida for retirement; butthen we thought about a bigger boatfor retirement instead. A couple ofyears ago, we found the boat of ourdreams, in Essex, Conn., and boughtit: a 1991, 46-foot Post Sportfish (wedon’t fish). Almost immediately, theprice of diesel skyrocketed and ouron-water adventures took a nose-dive – except for Provincetown, butthat’s another story.

Capt. Robert Brown and his wife,Louise, continue their boating ad-ventures out of Cove Marina on theMerrimack River in Salisbury,Mass. In the off-season, they live bythe sea, at North Beach in Hampton,N.H. In 2009, his USCG license wasupgraded to 100-ton Master. Sincethen, he has traveled the waterwaysfrom Fort Lauderdale to Bar Har-bor. Visit Capt. Bob and Mate Louiseat www.nauticalchronicles.com.

It’s late September 2011. We are enjoying the cama-raderie on the deck at New Hampshire’sPortsmouth Yacht Club when I hear, “Hey Russ,

where are we going next year?” Our friends, Wally andSandra, missed our trip last summer to the St. John

River, in New Brunswick, and are anxious to try outtheir new-to-them Moody 38, Amber Sea. I didn’t have a good answer, and Wally made the sug-

gestion that we cruise the Atlantic Ocean side of NovaScotia. This was seconded by Bjorn and Laurel, whodid make the St. John River trip with their Sabre 34,Merlot. It had been on my mind as well. I just needed

‘Where are we going next year?’ was the clarion call of two friends last year. ‘Howabout Nova Scotia?’ was the response of another. It’s ‘next year’, and our threeboats have just returned from the Maritimes.

It was agreed that I would workon a plan and get back to the groupwith my progress. In the meantime,we had three more boats commit tothe trip. Now we were up to sixboats and the emails are flying. Through the winter, charts and

cruising guides were studied. Couldwe really do this without anovernight? Yes, if we left from Mis-take Island, Maine, and wentstraight across to Yarmouth, N.S.It’s 90 miles, and given the longdays in July, it seemed possible.The only problem was the Fundytides, and everything would need tobe timed perfectly. The other issuewas that we still would need to getaround Cape Sable’s very strongcurrents. And none of us had everexperienced this piece of water. I started to have my doubts about

my crossing plans. When I start toquestion my own plan, it is usuallytime to ask for help. Bernie Wide-man from Points East has beenvery generous in sharing hisknowledge with me in the past. Af-

ter a few emails back and forth,Bernie bluntly told me to forgetabout crossing to Yarmouth and do

the overnight. “There is nothing tohit out there!” I knew he was right. It would be

a safer crossing and would put us clearing customsin Shelburne, N.S. Once I explained the situation toeveryone, all agreed it was the safest way to ap-proach the crossing. Because I was the one doing theplanning, I chose Frenchboro as our departure point.We would have a lobster dinner (and blueberry pie)on the Lunt’s pier the night before. Everyone was upfor that.Now all we had to do was get our boats and our

lives organized for a two-week trip. As we got closer,life conspired to prevent three boats from going. Butthe original three stayed committed to the trip. It’s amazing how everything happens just when

you are trying to leave on vacation. We all had last-minute “emergencies” to deal with. For Marty andme, it was the death of our dinghy engine. With thehelp of Jeff ’s Marine in Thomaston, we picked up areplacement two hours before we left Rockland. Finally out of Rockland Harbor and on our way, we

had a fog-free sail to Frenchboro via Camp Island.The three boats with three couples met in French-boro for dinner, and we were off first thing the nextmorning.

The passage across was fog free and fast. We sailedthe entire way, averaging over seven knots. If therewere any issue going across, it was the abundance ofwhales that decided to breach in front of us and rundown the side of the boat. Two in particular scared theheck out of us. We braced ourselves for an impact thatthankfully never came. Once in Canada, we had agreat two weeks. All of the harbors we visited werespecial in their own way. And, in Canadian fashion, wewere welcomed everywhere. Our final goal was Halifax, and our arrival was per-

fectly timed to coincide with the Tall Ships Celebra-tion. From the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, wedrove to the downtown Halifax waterfront. The atmo-sphere was festive, with 10,000 Canadians enjoyingthis celebration of sail. Our friend, Ben Fowler, gave us some great advice

for the return trip. “For every day east, plan on it tak-ing two days to go west.” and “Leave early every morn-ing.” The wind was usually blowing 25 on the nose bynoon. We followed Ben’s advice and had a mostly easytrip west. To enter three harbors, we needed to take leaps of

faith. For Deep Cove and Rogue’s Roost, the questionwas, Is there really an entrance there, and can I getaround those rocks? The third was entering a verytight, but buoyed, channel to the Brooklyn Marina. Itdidn’t show on any of my charts, and we questioned,

Was really seven feet of water at low tide. In everycase, I had to trust the cruising guides, and, in everycase, there was a reward on the other side. Bernie advised us to use Lockeport as our jumping

off point for the return home. Lockeport had every-thing we needed: fuel, water, food and Internet at thelibrary. After a one day weather delay we left Locke-port at 7 a.m. The weather was fog with light windsfrom behind. It was exactly the opposite of our trip twoweeks earlier. All three boats motored to NortheastHarbor where we cleared back into the U.S.A. at 10:30the next morning. So here we are standing at Clifton’s Dock after just

clearing customs, and I hear, “So Russ, where are wegoing next year? Next year? I’m not sure. But in 2014, I’m sure I want

to go back to Nova Scotia. Russ & Marty sail their C&C 40 Skira out of

Portsmouth, N.H., and Rockland Maine. Lifelongsailors, they made their first trip Downeast in 1985.That was the beginning of a 27-year love affair withthe coast of Maine. They put a mooring in RocklandHarbor in 2000, which has been a perfect jumping-offpoint for their sailing adventures. They have cruisedeast to the Canadian Maritimes and south to theChesapeake.

are that the days are delightful,but the nights . . . ? Well, not quiteso delightful. My husband and Iare just finishing a one-weekbareboating trip in Maine.

Yes, sheis sleek, she is sturdy, she is beau-tiful to behold, but, alas, there isonly one head, and you still haveto shower where you do your busi-ness, even in this boat.

With theknowledge that we will bespending a day in thiscute town on our wayhome, we do the usualschlepping of the gearand groceries, then scootout of the harbor, headingout for an easy sail to theend of Somes Sound, theonly fjord in the easternUnited States. It is thehottest day of the sum-mer, and it is late after-noon when we arrive at a mooring at the far end ofSomes. The sun is still strong, and it feels like 110 de-grees.

warmer than everywhereelse in Maine, and I donot have a heart attackfrom the shock; in fact, itis delightful. During cock-tails, we notice a fewlarge heads swimmingaround the sound.

to Camden harbor, a pretty harborand a cute and busy town that’s notas honky-tonk as Bar Harbor. ButCamden still has plenty of shops,places to eat and snack, and lots ofice cream. The Camden Yacht clublaunch leads us to our space in theinside harbor on one of the floatingdocks. Being tied to a floating dockis the best of both worlds – a feelingyou are grounded and have a fewmore feet to move around, yet sep-arate and removed from those onland.

dreds of them – swarm about.We are directed to a rentalmooring by a friendly lobster-man, and we notice that weare the only sailboat in theharbor. We can’t believe it . . .this is so . . . MAINE. As the fog comes rolling in

and the seagulls softly screechwith longing, we learn aboutsoft-shell lobsters from a local,and buy four pounds of lobsterfor our dinner. We get the fix-ings for our meal – corn,coleslaw, potato chips andsalad – at the local grocerystore, light the propane grill,and that night we stuff our-selves silly. It is foggy as we set out the

next morning, but Aquarius IIis equipped with a GPS andradar, so we set out confi-dently, and our markers peerout from the fog just as theyshould.

Within an hour, the sun hasburned up the fog, and we sailon a broad reach with a sunnysky and a wonderful, strongwind. My husband, Capt. Mike(no, I don’t actually call himthat), could not be happier.

doesn’t take long), then dinghyover to explore Big Cranberrythrough the tidal waters be-cause the tides are just highenough to do so. We wave helloto the few elderly residentsthat pass us by in golf carts,but the exploration of this is-land doesn’t take that long ei-ther.

but scalding hot water to come out of the shower head.I am not happy. My husband, thinking quickly, fills upa large pot of cold water for me which I mix with thescalding water, and as I am pouring it over myself I re-alize that it is the pot we cooked the lobsters in lastnight, and, of course, a little bit of lobster claw clingsto the pot (I am not the most careful of dish washers).I am grossed out and in need of a strong drink. As wesettle in for cocktails, we are hit with a small rain-storm that soon results in a vibrant double rainbow,perfectly formed over the entire harbor. We take pictures on our cell phones and email to a

few of our friends and family so they can be appropri-ately jealous of our fabulous vacation. Dinner thatnight at the Isleford Dock gives us the best sunset ofthe trip as well as the most amazing oysters on thehalf-shell I have ever tasted. 4:53 AM: Mike and I are awakened by our itching

selves. We have been attacked by super mosquitoesagain. Why have we not learned to close up everythingat night? The mosquitoes are everywhere, and afterMike closes the hatches, the 10 or so mosquitoes thathaunt our cabin taunt us with their buzzing. We spendthe next 20 minutes hunting down and killingmosquitoes in revenge, reveling in every kill. Sleep isover-rated.As we leave the Cranberry Islands the next morn-

ing, we dodge the lobster pots. Pink and green preppy

pots, yellow pots with bands of red, neon orange andwhite pots, green and aqua blue pots, and even patri-otic reds, whites and blues stand at attention. Theycome in every shade and color, painting the green wa-ters at the edges of harbor areas and beyond. We makeour way across the short distance to Northeast Harbor,not snagging a single one.I wish I had a few days at Northeast Harbor because

of its fabulous access to Acadia, and I am itching forexercise (pumping the toilet just doesn’t do it for me).The mooring is a bit more expensive than elsewhere,but we are able to dinghy to the dock on the east sideof the harbor and have access to great hikes. We choose a hike through Thuya Gardens, a magical

garden a short hike up, then on a few more milesthrough deep woods over Elliot Mountain, following asparsely marked trail, to Jordan Pond. Mike and I areexperienced hikers, and we have always joked howgreat it would be if there would be a Starbucks at theend of a long hike. Here, our wish is not only granted,but improved upon. The end of this hike brings usright to Jordon Pond House, where we sit in luxurysipping our microbrewed beers and snack on their fa-mous popovers. We decide to forgo the hike back andtake the free shuttle bus right to our dinghy. It doesn’tget much better than that.In the late afternoon, we explore the town, enticed

by the free ice-cream social in the town square. This


turns out to be one tuband one flavor – let’sjust say there is no linefor free ice cream. Thetown is very quiet, andmost of the stores havevery conveniently putout what my husbandcalls “man chairs” at theentrance of each shop.That’s where the menhang out after they can-not stand the thought ofentering one more shop.Mike makes great use ofthe man chairs while Ido my browsing. Dinneris leftover appetizerswhile the sun sets, andwe reward the one re-silient duck who keepsreturning to our boat with stale bagel chips, long afterthe others have given up on us. We awake to thick fog, which breaks into sun as we

enter Southwest Harbor to return our boat. Our weekhas ended. No make-up for a full week. No tweezing ofthe eyebrows. No blow-dryer. Me fighting the flies, themosquitoes, the scalding shower, the toilet, the

cramped quarters, all diffi-culties of living on a boat.But the scenery, the fullsails, the seals and por-poises, the Milky Way, thedouble rainbow, the sunbreaking through the fog,the freedom, the timealone with my husband:All this was worth any dis-comforts or inconveniences10 times over. I’d go againtomorrow (or maybe nextmonth).

Monhegan Moonlight Madness at Portland Y.C.

Ancient classics honor Fifes at Castine to Camden RaceThe 13th annual Classic Yacht Race from Castine

to Camden was held on Aug. 2, in cooperation withthe Eggemoggin Reach Regatta Aug. 4. This year’sCastine Classic event celebrated the glorious early-20th-century designs of William Fife III, and at-tracted a magnificent fleet of Classic and Spirit ofTradition yachts. This 19.6-mile race was the firstof three day races culminating in the Eggemoggin

By Ann BlanchardFor Points East

At the 78th annual Portland Yacht Club MonheganMoonlight Race Aug. 3-4, 33 sailboats in six divisionsstarted in Hussey Sound and headed south under hot,sunny skies and light but building seabreezes. Afterrounding the first marks – either Wood Island or thePortland LNB – they headed to the Seguin or Mon-hegan Island marks, and back to the finish line justoutside Hussey Sound. All were treated to a full stur-geon moon that appeared red through the hot, sultry

evening, shooting stars, challenging winds, and fun,competitive sailing. The Gulf of Maine’s shifting winds can challenge

even the most seasoned racers. First-place Mananawinner Morning Star, skippered by Jim Palmer,crossed the finish line stern-to after a northerly winddiminished as they approached it. When just 50 feetfrom the line, it became apparent that the tide mighttake them to the wrong side of the committee boat.Fast-thinking crewmember Ned Semonite decided

Stevenson and his brother Doug,placed 1st in the Monhegan IslandDouble-Handed Class. Rich ex-plained their decision-making pro-cess: “We checked the VHF weatherchannel, checked our laptop forGRIB files, and checked the weatherradio. Then we discussed the tacticalrisks if the reports were wrong, andthe big gains if the reports were cor-rect. We decided that insofar as allthree sources were uncannily agree-ing with each other that we couldn’tgo wrong. Then, less than 10 min-utes later, and just before we wouldjibe, a very unexpected and com-pletely unreported 180-degree shift

in the wind occurred. We had ourspinnaker up and all of the suddenit was blowing back into our rigging. “The wind shifts and challenges

didn’t stop there,” Richard contin-ued. “Later in the evening while lis-tening to the weather channel, theweather alarm went off and therewas a report about a quick-movingstorm that had potential to produce80-knot winds, rain, hail, etc., andthose in its path must prepare fordamaging winds. I looked over atDoug, and we both were wearing thesame expression – a pale ‘moon face’– fitting for the Monhegan!”When Buzz was nearing the end of

the race early in the morning,Richard and Doug discovered theycouldn’t locate any of their competi-tors. As they continued to search,Doug looked over at Richard. “Thiscould mean only one of two things:we are either doing really well, or re-ally bad.” Turns out they were doingthe former.

Dorade: The History of a Racing Yacht By Douglas D. Adkins, David R. Godine Publishing, 2012, 240pp., $65.

Reviewed by W. R. CheneyFor Points East

“Why would anybody name such abeautiful boat after a ventilation sys-tem?” was the question asked by adockside stroller when he spied a grace-ful wooden yawl with the word “Dorade”proudly emblazoned in gold leaf on hertransom. The answer, of course, is that

nobody ever did. Quite the reverse, the Dorade Vent (a cowl ventcombined with a Dorade Box) was named for theboat. It was one of the many innovations in bothdesign and equipment that made the Dorade abreakthrough creation that would change thehistory of ocean racing under sail.Prior to Dorade’s appearance on the ocean-racing scene, competing vessels had tended tobe rather beamy gaff-rigged schooners, cut-ters and ketches descended from workingsail. Ballast was at least partially in thebilges, and a seakindly motion, along with a

robust build, led to yachts that were faster than theirworking ancestors but remained roomy, comfortableand safe, and well suited to cruising as well as racing.This type found perhaps its most ideal form in theAlden Malabar schooners that dominated ocean rac-ing for many years.In May of 1930, a sleek Marconi rigged-yawl slid

down the ways at Minneford’s yard on City Island,N.Y., and she would change all this forever. Relativelysmall at 42 feet on the waterline, she was narrow anddeep, drawing eight feet, three inches, with all 16,600pounds of lead ballast outside. At sea, she would notalways be dry, and, while running, her tendency toroll could be extreme. Below, her narrow hull dictatedthe form of bunks that were likened to coffins. Clearlythe requirements of comfortable cruising were sec-ondary here. This was a pure racing machine.Critics said that a boat of her general characteris-

tics, small size, and relatively light constructionwould not be safe under the rigorous conditions likelyto be encountered in ocean racing and should not beallowed to compete at all. But as victories continuedto pile up, including the Transatlantic Race of 1931and the Fastnet Races of ’31 and ’33, the critics weresilenced. In fact, Dorade proved to be able to carrysail long after many of her larger and more tradi-tional rivals could not, and she won race after racebeating many much larger boats in the process.

The story of Dorade is also the story of her thenyouthful designer, Olin Stephens. Stephens and hisbrother Rod Jr. were able to take full advantage ofthe faith placed in them by a rich and indulgent fa-ther who backed their yachting interests and ambi-tions to the hilt. While their peers were following themore standard course of formal education, theStephens brothers were learning the nuts and boltsof yacht construction, design and sailing on a wideranging series of family owned boats. They learnedwell. By the time Olin designed the epoch-making break-

through Dorade at the tender age of 29, he alreadyhad a number of successful designs behind him andwas well known to the readers of “Yachting” and “TheRudder.” Brother Rod Jr. was famous as a technicalinnovator, inventor, rigger, and consummate racingskipper.Dorade’s career under a series of owners is detailed

here along with mention of Olin Stephens’ continuingsuccess as he took over Alden’s role as pre-eminentdesigner of ocean-racing yachts with a long list of su-perlative competitors including Stormy Weather, Bril-liant, Bolero and the successful Cup defenderColumbia. Among this long list of design triumphs, Olin

Stephen’s best love remained his first love, Dorade,the only boat he actually ever owned. While he ad-


mitted that, technically, she was not the best boat heever designed, she was the one that first brought himfame, and the one which remained closest to hisheart.In the course of Dorade’s long career (at age 82, she

is still successfully competing in classic-boat races to-day), years of victory and renown were eventually fol-lowed by some vicissitudes – an owner or two whowere less than responsible, the inevitable effects ofage, and a short period in history when classicwooden boats were not wholly recognized as the trea-sures they are today. The story here reminds me a little of “Smokey” by

Will James, a novel readers of a certain age will re-member about a cow pony who is separated from adoting owner and lives a hard life in the rodeo circuitfor a long time only to be reunited with those wholove him toward the end of his career.Dorade did have her trials, including an inebriated

owner, at one point, who had to be restrained fromdancing naked on her deck on the eve of one of theSwiftsure races in British Columbia. This sport,along with at least some of the crew, seemed to havestill been somewhat under the weather in the racenext day when they managed to put her agroundtwice, and then collided with and sank another con-testant. There were times, too, when she needed work, and

it seemed no one would come along to foot the bill.She was donated to a museum, but the museum wasunwilling to carry her, and she was auctioned off fora pittance. The story could have ended there, or soonafter.Just in time, a rich Italian bought her and had her

shipped to Cantiere Navale dell’Argentario in Tus-cany, where Federico Nardi was pioneering in therestoration of important classic yachts. Here Doradeunderwent the first of two major restorations and herstory has been gratifyingly upbeat from thereon. OlinStephens was frequently reunited with her both inItaly and back in this country when she returnedhere with new owners. Once again she is in Bristol condition and her true

value is recognized. She is with people who love andcare for her properly. Like the little horse Smokey,she has come home.Somehow, in our enthusiasm for this beautiful

book, we forgot to mention that it is a coffee-table-type production with lush photos and illustrations tomatch. Unlike many of it’s ilk, this book is also agreat read. Author Adkins – who, incidentally, wasaboard, and injured, on that horrendous day whenshe went aground twice and sank another boat – haswritten a sympathetic and riveting account.Frequent contributor Bill Cheney sails the engine-

The Leight is snugged down in Corner Pocket Cove in the lee of Steele Harbor and Black Island in far Downeast Maine.

FETCHING ALONG/David Buckman

David Buckman photo

Having sailed since before rock and roll wasknown to be a Communist plot to corrupt theyouth of America, it’s quite amazing that

rarely does a summer pass in which I don’t make a dis-covery or two, be it stumbling upon a new anchorageor divining ways through troubled waters. Modest rev-elations, perhaps, but genuine unveilings of unpub-lished, interesting and useful marine factoids, that areentirely close enough to “unknown” by my measure.So it was I came to fathom Corner Pocket Cove. The

Leight was laying in the Cows Yard, under the ruggedshores of Head Harbor and Steele Harbor islands farDowneast, an anchorage revered and reviled bysailors. It’s a lovely, wild place, but more or less anopen roadstead. Even if you lay under the ledges onthe east side of the cove, it can be a busy cup of tea insoutherly weather, and not the kind of snug shelterwhere sleep is untroubled when it breezes up.Taking to the dinghy, armed with a notebook, pen,

home-made lead line and seven foot oars, I set out atlow tide to survey the waters to the north and west ofthe anchorage. A rowing skiff is the thing for suchwork. Outboards are too clumsy, and noisy. The pool beyond the anchorage proved pretty much

as advertised – knee-deep at low – and I found thecrooked finger of water cutting into Head Harbor Is-land mostly dried. A small, unnamed island hangingclose under the southeast shore formed a mere stripeof water called Head Harbor Creek. Twenty to 30yards wide, casts of the lead line showed depths ofeight to 10 feet in the middle, and a few rocks close tothe small island. A fair-weather gunkhole, ledges gath-ered to the west offered some protection, but it wouldrequire anchoring fore and aft, which is a productionfor a singlehander.Swinging the skiff south toward the bold battle-

ments of Steele Harbor Island, a string of lobster-potbuoys off Black Island indicated navigable depths, and

I soon came into the pregnant still-ness of a velvet-green alcove underthe shouldering heights of the is-lands, a watery gut sluicing be-tween them, like a corner pocket ona pool table. A tatty old mooring ball with

years worth of weed streamingfrom it gave evidence that it hadbeen a long time since a boat laidhere. Circling and sounding I wasconcerned to see a few darkmounds that looked like rocks atfirst glance but proved to be clus-ters of sea grass. It took me 20 min-utes to take stock of thebaseball-diamond-sized pool, andfind that it offered six to eight feetat low water and more secure ac-commodations than the Cows Yard. How exciting. Every second of my

ruminations were rife with revela-tion. Off to starboard, I spied aswell of rock between the pool andshore. A string of ledges makingeastward from Black Island formeda veritable breakwater to the northand the little tarn was as still as amillpond. A sweep of a shinglebeach on Steele Harbor Islandbegged exploration, and I soon tookits measure. It’s a provocative thing to step

foot on a wild shore, and the senseof discovery was heightened whenan eagle flew so close overhead Icould see its mottled old feathersmaking way for new, and hear afleet of resident crows hectoring it,cheeky beggars that they are.Another few minutes of sound-

ings revealed the way to the Cow’sYard, and soon the Leight was lay-ing quietly in the lee. I felt gener-ously rewarded for my pleasantlabors and spent three days in Cor-ner Pocket Cove. I can’t afford to beignorant of such wild and beautifulthings. David Buckman is ever so

slightly out of sync with the rest ofthe world. His book, “Bucking TheTide,” about discovering the wildNew England and Fundy coast ina $400 sloop, is available atwww.eastworkspublications.com

The Lowell Brothers ofYarmouth, Maine, intro-duce Thorobred, a Low-ell 38 lobster yacht. TheLowell 38 is a new de-sign originally createdfor a one-off boat, but asthe design seemed good-looking and efficient, theLowell Brothers createda mold, adding it to theirline of production boats. Thorobred is the first

boat of this new design,and features a cored-vinylester hull and car-bon fiber/epoxy cabinwith a beautifully ap-pointed interior. Designer Jamie Lowell describes thisboat as built-down, with a fine entry and a lot of dead-rise. The bottom is streamlined, and she shows a little

tumblehome. The bowis flared. Jamie andJoe Lowell draw on ex-pertise from a familydynasty of boatbuilders/designers, in-cluding father Carroll,uncle Royal, andgreat-grandfather WillFrost.In the water, Thoro-

bred moves effort-lessly. Her bow rises,but only slightly, in thesame way that theearly Jonesporterssliced through the surf.The long, clear wave

off the bow doesn’t break until nearly aft of the cabin.She handles with ease and accelerates rapidly. With

an 800-horse Man diesel, Thorobred travels at 34knots top, 30 knots cruise when fully loaded (about21,000 lbs not including people). “I enjoyed the molding and construction details,

some of the stuff was pretty cool, said Joe Lowell. “Itwas hard to do, but the carbon fiber and epoxy cabinlends well to a lower center of gravity on the boat,which leads to good sea-handling characteristics. And,it sounds little, but I also enjoyed making the nice cor-ner details around the bulkheads and interior of theboat.”Owner John St. Hilaire of South Freeport, Maine, is

a fan of the Maine lobsterboat style, and plans to useThorobred for cruising and island hopping along theMaine coast. “Joe and Jamie have outdone themselveson this design. It’s exceptional all around,” St. Hilairecommented. “What I notice the most is overall its sea-keeping abilities, specifically, the way the boat be-haves whether we’re going into a sea head on, ortaking a beam sea, the boat is the most stable boatI’ve ever been on . . . .The boat peels the water awayvery efficiently.”Thorobred is powered by an 800-horse Mann R6800

Portland Yacht Ser-vices (PYS), of Portland,Maine, and CB Marine(CBM) announce an oper-ating agreement and op-tion for the use andeventual purchase of CBMarine’s floating drydock by Portland YachtServices. This agreementis intended to allow PYSto market and bring workto the dry dock as PYSexpands its boatyard ca-pabilities. The businessplan will include largeryachts and commercialvessels and eventually tomove the dry dock toPYS facilities. Previously, the dry dock was primarilyused by CBM to support its own equipment and com-mercial vessels such as draggers, tugs and barges thatwere willing to do their own work. The agreementbrings PYS’s workforce into the equation and allowsthe dry dock to offer a full range of boatyard services

to vessels wishing to haulin Portland. PhinSprague, president ofPYS, noted that immedi-ately after putting theagreement in place hewas able to arrange anemergency haul-out for alarge catamaran. “It wasa vessel that was knownto us and had recentlycome through PYS’s ma-rina on a cruise up thecoast. They absolutelyloved Portland and calledus for help.” The vessel’s36-foot beam seriouslylimited the number ofyard facilities that could

accommodate it for the repairs. The large catamarannormally hauls in a dry dock in the Caribbean, so find-ing PYS ready to respond was very good luck andmoved PYS’s plans for using the dry dock up consid-erably. FMI: Contact Phin Sprague at 207-774-1067,www.portlandcompany.com.

1400-ton floating dry dock added to Portland Yacht Services

The 120- by 56-foot, 1400-ton dry dock creates significant opportu-nities to attract larger vessels and work to the Portland Waterfront.

Lyman-Morse, in Thomaston, Maine, is teaming upagain with a successful design partner, C. RaymontHunt, to build an able,fast, 42-foot flybridgetwin-jet boat. Theprospective plan is forextended cruisingalong the Maine coast. To fulfill design re-

quirements, allweights must be mini-mized without sacrific-ing strength orcomfort. The hull anddeck will be built usingthe SCRIMP infusionmethod. Vinylesterresin will be usedthroughout with thecore being Corecell.But first, as with all LM builds, a mockup was createdfor layout, helm consoles, anchor-handling gear, and in-terior accommodations.The hull will be a full-deadrise deep-V with integral

chine and lift strips. The hull shell will be infused in

the existing Hunt P38 female mould. Custom sheerdam, transom insert and jet intake mounting insert

pads will be added togive the boat its 42feet. Foam coring willbe thermoformedwhere necessary toconform with hull cur-vature. A custom deckand flybridge moldwill be built. The gen-eral twin Cat Engines(C9 ACERT @ 2500rpm) installation willbe made with a combi-nation of simplicityand the limitation ofnoise transmissionthrough structure-borne sound. The

stringer system will be specially built with high-densitymaterial for sound absorption and Metalastik type ofmounts for further sound reduction. A generator willprovide energy for air conditioning and heating. FMI:www.lymanmorse.com

Lyman-Morse, Hunt team up to 42-foot flybridge twin-jet boat

Rear windows port and starboard are sliding, and a sliding door is onthe portside helm station. The rear door is hinged. Decks will be teak,and the teak eyebrow will have eight coats of varnish.

International Yacht Restoration School(IYRS), in Newport and Bristol, R.I., willpartner with Maine businesses FrontStreet Shipyard and the Kenway Corpora-tion to run two open houses on careersand training opportunities in the compos-ites industry. A method of building pio-neered by boatbuilders that has a highstrength-to-weight ratio, composites con-struction is used today by many indus-tries, including marine, transportation,wind-energy, aerospace and others. Ac-cording to the latest tallies from theAmerican Composites Manufacturers As-sociation, in the U.S. alone the compos-ites industry employs 550,000 peopleand generates $70 billion in revenuesper year. The six-month IYRS program,launched in 2010, and is the first of itskind in the rapidly growing compositesfield. The program runs twice a year, withthe next session beginning this Septem-ber. FMI: Contact Ned Jones [email protected], www.iyrs.org.

GMT Composites, Inc., of Bristol, R.I.,has been selected by Wood’s HoleOceanographic Institution (WHOI) to buildthe three primary main ballast tanks onthe Navy’s renowned research sub-mersible Alvin. Under WHOI’s manage-ment, Alvin is undergoing a majortwo-stage refit to upgrade its maximum-depth rating from 14,764 to 21,326 feet,in a quest to bring 98 percent of theocean floor within reach of researchers.Alvin is a human occupied vehicle (HOV)certified by the Naval Sea Systems Com-mand (NAVSEA). Pressures at thesedepths exceed five tons per square inch,and any air pockets in a laminate wouldget crushed. No paint will be used on theballast tanks so they can easily be visu-ally inspected for any void content ordamage. Alvin’s passengers will behoused in a new titanium sphere whichwas forged from two solid pieces of tita-nium ingots weighing 17,000 poundseach. FMI: www.gmtcomposites.com.

New England f i sh ing repor t s

By Peter MourmourasFor Points East

Saco Bay, Maine, is the place to be these past few days.Striped bass can be found in the usual locations and,depending on the tide, a bit of searching will usually yielda few quality fish. The average striper these past fewtrips has moved into the low- to mid-30-inch range. Thesequality striped bass are eager to strike mackerel in manydifferent forms.

Nick Metayer, at Saco bay Tackle, has been prowlingthe shoreline in the Scarborough area on evening tidesand catching a few quality fish on whole, dead macks.Nick shared that if he runs into a really large mackerel,he’ll just fish the head and use the rest for chunking. Onereport I read many years ago stated that stripers hithead first 90 percent of the time. Conversely, bluefish are said to strike the tail 75 per-

cent of the time. I think this percentage may be higher,

BASS AND BLUE COMBINEL A B O R D AY T O U R N A M E N T

Striped Bass and Bluefish WINS! Other rules apply, see webiste for details

based on all the tailless mackerel I have retrievedthrough the years. Like myself, Nick is finding his bassin extremely shallow water (less than six feet). Any of thearea beaches can be expected to produce. Bluefish have moved in, and reports are circulating

of evening feeding blitzes from Cape Porpoise on upthrough Casco Bay. The blues we have seen so far arehuge fish in the 12- to 14-pound range. The numbershaven’t been great so far, but these fish have been aroundfor nearly a month – very early for Saco Bay waters.Stock up on steel leaders and a few Yo-Zuri deep diversor Ranger surface plugs to catch these toothy predators. Finding diving seagulls is often the key to finding these

blues. The tiny terns you typically see diving are usuallyfeeding on sand eels that naturally swim near the sur-face or get herded by mackerel, pollock and sometimesstripers or blues. Full-size gulls are more scavengersthan predators and feed often on the chunks left after abluefish has destroyed a mackerel or pogy. Look for the

bigger diving gulls and you have a decent shot of findinga school of bluefish. Pogy schools have been scarce in Saco Bay, but when

they arrive, bass and bluefish tend to hang on thoseschools until seasons end. Calm morning are typicallythe best times to find these schools near landmarks likeEagle Island or the Old Orchard Pier. Fishing deep underthe schools with a live pogy (typically snagged) can yieldextremely large bass.The mackerel fishing has been outstanding so far this

season, with large macks making way for the smallerspecimens of later summer. Wednesday our boat had noproblem loading up our live well with a couple of dozenfantastic eight- and nine-mackerel, which we floated un-der balloons for stripers. Chunking has been nearly aseffective as livelining recently. Again, fish the head on ahook, and use the latter portion to steak off tiny chunks. Peter Mourmouras is owner of the 22-year-old hard-core

tackle shop, located on US Route 1 in Saco, Maine.

After a few weeks of fishermenscratching their heads, wondering ifall the fish and bait have disap-peared for good, both returned inforce and the fishing action kickedback into high gear. The only excep-tion was the absence of the largeststriped bass, which have movedeast and north to cooler waters. Have no fear, these behemoth

stripers of 30, 40 and even 50 poundswill swing back through this areaagain throughout the fall as theymake their annual migration to thewaters of the Chesapeake and spotsfarther south along the easternseaboard for the winter. Now is thetime for sharpie fishermen to pullout the big guns, deploying their besttricks as they mix it up with luresand live bait to get into the action.

Live bait: At times, live bait willtrigger the strike instinct of fishwhen they are most finicky, so con-sider putting in a bit of time to loadup with some of the smaller baitthat’s available this time of year.Break out your cast net and set yoursights on getting your share ofpeanut bunker, snappers (baby blue-fish), silversides and bay anchovies.Many harbors, like Port Jeff, Hunt-ington, Norwalk and Stamford, areloaded with these small baitfish inthe morning hours. This is also whenthey’re easiest to spot since the wateris mirror-flat and boat traffic is at aminimum. Often, a few tosses of thecast net are enough to load up yourbait well with enough bait for a fullday’s fishing. But if the bait isn’t easy to spot,

and isn’t in tight schools, you can al-ways make a slight shift to your bait-gathering tactics by bringing along afew cans of tunafish or catfood andhanging the contents off the stern ofyour boat in a small mesh chum bag.Snapper blues will, in short order,gather in large numbers around yourchum bag feasting like piranha.Then you can either toss the cast netor even use a long-handled dip net toscoop them up. Using these smallbaitfish for fluke and seabass, onweighted bare hooks or by tippingyour bucktails, will surely get yousome bites.

Soft baits:Another productive wayto fish for porgies, fluke, seabassand bluefish is using of scientifi-cally engineered soft baits, like Trig-gerX, which are impregnated withpheromones that trigger the feedinginstinct of your target species. Thesesoft baits also can be used onweighted bare hooks or by tippingyour bucktails. One combination Iuse with great success when the fishare most finicky is a California rig,with three or five arms, with Trig-gerX Paddle Tail Minnows on thehooks. These rigs, when connectedusing a dropper loop 12 to 18 inchesabove a weighted bucktail, look likea small school of baitfish, and it con-sistently gets strikes. Bottom-bouncing and drifting:The

optimal conditions for drift-fishingthis time of year are a moving tidecoupled with wind and tide that pro-vide a drift speed of between one-halfand 1½ knots. Preferences of buck-tail colors vary, with most anglersopting for white, chartreuse or pink.Tip the odds fully in your favor bytargeting all three strike senses(sight, motion and smell) of fluke,seabass and blues by drifting aweighted bucktail tipped with a softbait and an Esca Flasher. This com-bination can result in two or threetimes as many strikes, and otherfishermen will be wondering, “What’s

Awesome sunny days and little wind are providinggreat fishing conditions for Rhode Island anglers. Withsome of the best fishing still aheaed of us, anglers fish-ing the rocky bottom areas outsidethe Center Wall, Nebraska Shoalsand Green Hill will continue tocatch scup and seabass throughOctober. \Squid and sandwormswork best and are sure to usesmaller hooks to target thesespecies.Tautog fishing opened Aug. 1,

and anglers are limiting out withthree fish, fishing tight to shore onthe rocky bottom areas of the Har-bor of Refuge and Point Jude Light.Fish will start moving deeper comemid September when River Ledgeand Scarborough become popularhot spots.The striped bass and bluefish

fishing will be at their peak; thesoutheast corner of Block, South-west Ledge and the North Rip arealways great locations. Night eelfishing and day wire trolling arefishing methods of choice. Bluefishwill start to surface, and poppingplugs are lots of fun to target a blue top-water or fromthe surf.Hopefully, the bonito fishing will carry through

September. Fish arrive in August to the west and moveeast as the season progresses. Deadly dicks, Pt Jude

Lures, fast track minnow are some of the best attrac-tants for bonita.Moving to the offshore waters, the shark fishing will

improve as water temps decrease. Cox Ledge, SharksLedge and the Butterfish Hole are good fall fishing

grounds. Be sure to bring clams,just incase the cod fishing is con-sistent. Bluefin tuna hopefully will be

present in the areas of the MudHole, Fairway Buoy and the Fin-gers. Fish so far this year havebeen a little larger, in the 40- to 50-pound range. If the bait is presentand starts to hold them, thenchunking bait is best to catch atuna.Weather will be key to the fall

fishing in the canyons. Fish Tales,the Dip, Veatch and Hydrogra-phers canyons have all had theirshare of tuna this year. Mike Har-rington and crew aboard the NightHawk landed 50- to 75-pound yel-lowfins trolling ballyhoo in Hydro-graphers. Water temperatures andfriends reports all aid in the deci-sion of where to fish next. Checkwith your local bait and tackleshops for up to date fish reports.

Jackman, a Point Judith Pond native, has managedthe tackle shop at Wakefield, R.I.’s Snug Harbor Ma-rina (www.snugharbormarina.com) for over 17 yearsand has spent her life fishing the waters of Block Is-land Sound.

your secret?” Although a lot of short fish will be in themix, be patient and stick to the plan and you’ll land a fewgood-sized flatties. Top-water action:Whether it’s albies, bonitos or blue-

fish, seeing and getting into top water blitzes is anadrenaline rush, so get out the binoculars and scan thehorizon for flocks of birds, especially when they are div-ing. Carefully approaching the blitz is key to success foryourself and other fishermen that are sure to join in theaction. Circle around upwind of the blitz, slow your ap-proach when you get a few hundred yards away, and turnyour engines off when you get within a few hundred feetto avoid spooking the fish.

Start off by casting top-water lures like the StormChug-Bug. Then switch over to shallow swimming Ra-pala Jointed X-Rap Shad, working them around theedges of the blitz, where the bigger fish usually are. Theaction will be fast and furious, so stay focused. With lotsof hooks flying and other boats in close proximity, accu-rate casting and careful fish and hook handling are inorder to avoid lost fish and hooks imbedded in fingersand hands. Richard (www.nyctfishing.com) is headed to Bingham-

ton University this fall to start his college education,where he’ll be majoring on environmental studies. Earlierthis summer, landed, tagged, measured, weighed and re-leased his 1,000th striped bass. He will have a regularfishing column in Points East through the fall.

MysteryHarbor


LAST WORD/Carol ine B. Norwood

There are two charterboats available in RoundPond, Maine. One is a 30-foot Hunter; the other,a Calvin Beal 36. Capt. Frank Bedell owns the

sailboat; Capt. Wallace “Wally” Leeman and wifeKathy run the motor vessel. Captains Frank and Wallybring years of varied experiences to the helm.Wally has been fishing Maine waters since he was

eight, and fished with his father. He later fished lob-ster from a dory out of Moxie Cove in Round Pond. Hewent from the dory to larger vessels, which he used forcatching groundfish, shrimp and tuna. He also wentafter swordfish and did some gillnetting.Frank learned sailing from his father when a youth

in Florida. He fished lobster on the DamariscottaRiver, went shrimping out of Tenants Harbor, andpurse seining from Gloucester, Mass. For many years,he operated a Maine Department of Natural Re-sources vessel. Later, he ran an LCM-8 Landing craftfor a construction company off Long Island, N.Y. and atour boat for the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath.Both men hold 100-ton tickets from the U.S. Coast

Guard.Wally and his wife, Kathy, started Salt Water Char-

ters in 1992. “I got out of fishing in 1990, sold the boatin 1992, and started doing charter work,” Wally recalls.He says he enjoyed fish dragging but decided to getout of it “when you can catch more garbage than fish.We were catching boots, Coke bottles, Old Milwaukeecans. You’d have to pick up everything and look under-neath to see if there was a flounder.”He ordered a Calvin Beal 36 and had it built to

Coast Guard specs. He named the boat Paige Elizabethafter one of his granddaughters. The vessel can carry13 plus two crew. “We take people to see puffins, sealsand eagles,” he says. “We go island-hopping to HarborIsland, Damariscove, Monhegan, all over MuscongusBay. We’ll take any kind of trip people want. They canmake it up for themselves.”Wally was diagnosed with cancer three years ago. Af-

ter surgery and chemotherapy, today at age 75 he en-joys good health. He credits Kathy for doing much ofthe work required to run a charterboat business.

Kathy got her 50-ton license after they started thebusiness. In addition, she is an artist, real estateagent, and she raises Golden Labs. She usually hasone or more of the dogs on cruises with her. Wally saysthe dogs are a big attraction and actually bring themcustomers. He smiles as he notes just how busy is wifeis and her many talents. “She never has two feet onthe ground at the same time.”Capt. Frank hosts those who just want to sit quietly

on his sailing vessel, Orion, and watch the Maine coastslip by. Other times he might have an overnight char-ter like one last summer that included three children,their mother and grandfather. The youngsters tookover the forward compartment, which included a hatchexit to the foredeck and also the head. Grandfatherclaimed the saloon for his bedroom. Capt. Frank andthe other passenger slept in the cockpit under thestars. They stayed one night in Rockland and anotherat Harbor Island. He says every charter is different yetall have the common theme of enjoying the silencethat comes with sailing and the slow pace of lifeaboard the Orion.Capt. Wally is renowned in Midcoast Maine for his

fishing exploits, which include being highliner formany years but also having some very narrow escapesfrom sinking. He tells me he never had a boat sink un-der him, “but we’ve come goddamn close.” He talksabout one of his first fishing boats, the 45-foot Tipsy

Parson. “The old Tipsy Parson, she were taking on wa-ter,” he began. “We had shrimp in the hold. Oil cameup out of the engine room, went all through theshrimp. We was right low in the water. I didn’t wantto fish around that thing [on the bottom] for the restof my life, so I headed her for the hard bottom. I wentin the fish hold to the engine room. I was reaching allthe way down in the oily bilge water, head and ears inthe water checking the seacocks.“I could see water boiling right where a coupling

was whirling around under water. The previous ownerhad put two different size pipe together and just tapedthem, not cramped them. They’d come apart and thecooling pipe was letting seawater into the engine room.We was sinking fast.”Wally pushed the two pieces of pipe back together

and secured them. “We could hold our own after that,”he recalls.On another Tipsy Parson trip, Wally had to go un-

derwater to pound a plank back in place – in Februaryoff the Maine coast. “My brother, Arnie, was fishingwith me.” He remembers. “We were off Monhegan. Astorm was coming on hard from the nor’west. The seaswere coming one way, and there was a chop buildingthe other way. Arnie was on the winch, and I had himpretty well schooled.“When a sea came over the stern, it let the doors

down in the water and loosened a plank. The water

came starboard over the stern. She was so tender, shecouldn’t take that kind of treatment. Arnie finallycomes in and says, ‘We’ve got quite an oil slick behindus.’ I knew what that was. I went back and picked upthe hatch. There was a lot of water slopping back andforth. We didn’t stand much of a chance with that kindof leak.”Wally says he went forward and got a long spike

from his toolbox. He grabbed a four-pound hammer,then stripped up to his waist. “The wind was about 15degrees cold. I went over the side . . . . When she heeledout, I could see the plank. I could see the hole that hadto be plugged.“You can’t pound a spike underwater. When she

came out of the water, I could get one or two taps on it.Then I would go back underwater. We saved her. I gotthat plank on and caulked her from the inside.”Wally says the best fishing boat he owned was the

Miss Fortune, a 40- by 14-foot Nova Scotia boat he’dtrailered over to Portland. “They brought her over onthe ferry. She just would fit through the doors,”“That Novi was a nice boat. She had a better return

for any dollar I put into a boat. She was a wooden boatwith a wood deck.” But he even had a close call withthe Miss Fortune. “In hot weather, the wood deckwould shrink. If I hadn’t been out for a couple of days,I always put the deck hose on first thing in the morn-ing to swell it up. Well, the bilge pump wires had cor-

roded, and the pump wasn’t working, so we were sink-ing ourselves.” That story had a happy ending onceWally realized what was happening.Both Frank and Wally see a good future in the char-

ter business on the coast of Maine. They and their cus-tomers like the easy access to the water provided bythe facilities at Round Pond harbor. It’s a guaranteethat whichever charterboat a visitor chooses, both cap-tains will have many a seafaring story to tell whilethey cruise the coast of Maine.Caroline Norwood, a resident of Westport, Brier Is-

land, Nova Scotia, is a longtime friend of and contrib-utor to Points East.
