Editor’s Notebook by Gary Reich

You can’t have a fully developed

appreciation for the destruction a hurricane can wreak until you watch 12- to 15-inch stripers chasing a bait ball of Bay anchovies through your office. This was the scene under my desk at Waterway Guide the morning after Isabel had ripped her way through Chesapeake Country on Septem-ber 19, 2003. Similar scenes were repeated on both shores of the Bay from Havre de Grace, MD, to Norfolk, VA. It was one for the history books.

As a bit of back-story, on September 17-18, businesses and waterfront interests started feverish preparations for the im-pending hurricane as the public had been told by the city in no uncertain terms that this “was not a drill.” Since the Waterway Guide office was privileged with close-up views of Spa Creek, our crew set about protecting computers, page files, backup discs, and the thousands of spiral-bound guidebooks piled high in our warehouse.

Across the creek, Fawcett Boat Supplies employees were making their own prepara-tions. Store Manager Bill Griffin remem-bers the afternoon well: “We used every table, chair, crate, and desk… anything to raise merchandise higher. We placed two-by-fours across chairs to support foul weather gear racks up off the floor.”

But nothing could stop Isabel from having her way with the Bay that night. Griffin and local live-aboard staff member Jeff Davis stood watch at Fawcett’s through the night and remembers when the water made its way in around midnight. “Once the water got to (a certain) level, within minutes, dust bunnies, stray pens and

pencils, errant pieces of paper, and other hidden treasures began to flow with the incoming current in the shop. In spots, the water gurgled through small cracks in the floor,” Griffin says.

On the morning of September 19, 2010, Annapolis awoke to a record-smashing 7.2-foot surge that had pushed the waters of the Chesapeake Bay well up Main Street and totally inundated the restaurant- and shop-laden areas of Market Space and Dock Street. Kayaks and motorized dinghies frolicked in the floodwaters over streets where cars usually travel, while astonished residents flocked down to the waterfront to see the spectacle first-hand. Similar scenes were repeated all over the Bay, but Annapolis, Middle River, Kent Island, Herrington Harbour, Chesapeake Beach, and Hampton Roads, VA, took direct hits.

While hurricanes aren’t necessar-ily unique (several form each year), the timing and target of this particular storm were. Isabel hit the Bay three weeks before the U.S. Sail and Powerboat shows were scheduled to kick off in Annapolis. Not only was Annapolis a heavily flooded

mess and mostly without power, but the exhibi-tors, marinas, boat dealers, and all manner of other maritime busi-nesses around the Bay that support the show took damage from the hurricane. People started to wonder if the show would go off on schedule. They underesti-mated us.

Rebuilding started im-mediately, as contractors, flood recovery experts, and federal relief agencies descend-ed on the Bay to put things back

together. At Waterway Guide, we hired laborers to remove thousands of pounds of waterlogged guidebooks from our ware-house, while the rest of the staff ripped up carpet, cut out water-soaked drywall, and ordered new furniture and chairs for the office. Back across the creek downtown, the Fawcett’s crew were rebuilding. “We ripped out carpeting—really wet, smelly stuff—and shoveled out the muck and mud that were everywhere,” Griffin remembers. Other downtown businesses around town repeated the same drill.

But in the end, diligence, hard work, and the good old-fashioned stubborn-ness of the Bay’s maritime and hospitality industries prevailed. On October 9, 2003, just three weeks after Isabel flattened the area, the first of the shows opened on schedule and without a hitch to thousands of visitors who could hardly tell that any-thing had happened to our small water-front town.

See you around town and at the shows.

L e t t e r sHello Gary,

I just looked over your pictures from AquaPalooza 2010 on your website... very nice! I’m wondering when you will post the pictures you shot at the 2010 Cambridge Classic a few weeks ago. You and I talked briefly, and I’m hoping you may have gotten a good picture of my son’s boat NM-32 All Jacked Up.

Thanks, Bill Mcknight

Editor’s Note:I have attached a few images of your son’s boat from the Friday qualifying heats at Cambridge, and the rest of the images are now online. You can find all manner of great pictures to purchase (for the affordable price of $10) from tons of Bay events (powerboat racing, fishing tournaments, poker runs, etc.) at proptalk.com. I enjoyed talking to you and your son at the races and look forward to seeing you at next year’s 101st Cambridge Classic.

All the best, Gary

It used to be the insiders' secret: Kadey-Krogen Yachts builds trawlers that combine globetrotting capability and at-home liveability. While some yachts are designed and built for the single-minded purpose of bluewater capability (often at the expense of creature comfort), other yachts are built primarily for liveaboard comfort, never mind the dream voyage. Only a Kadey-Krogen yacht accomplishes both better than any comparably sized yacht in the world. Today, more and more people are getting the message. Come aboard now to join our family of seasoned adventurers, and discover why we are the choice of so many professional mariners.

Hello Gary, I enjoy reading your publication and the “newsy” events around the Chesapeake Bay area. I would be remiss if I did not respond to the letter on May 17, regarding the “wind and weather dependent destina-tion.” Reedville, VA, is a beautiful town, and the river and creeks associated with the Great Wicomico area are wonderful for boating. However, the dreaded “smell of money” still exists. We fished as recently as Saturday at Smith Point Lighthouse and were more than aware of the odor. I have been up the Great Wicomico, under the Route 200 Bridge, and the odor was there. Without belaboring the point, I dock in Burgess, VA, and many days, granted wind-dependent, the air is foul. I am happy your reader had a pleasant voyage, but as of yet, the “air is not clear.”

Buck Rogers Burgess, VA

Dear PropTalk:I enjoyed and appreciate Ruth Christie’s article on Crisfield [Septem-ber issue]. It captured things rather accurately. We could introduce you to some other restaurants, but if here for a short time, Waterman’s is it.

Don’t know if you’ve ever looked at Patty Hancock’s blog, but it is a fantastic spot to get Crisfield info and photos at crisfieldnews.blogspot.com. You can see a photo of my wife and me in our 67 Truckster at crisfieldnews.blogspot.com/search?q=car+show. This was restored in the style and colors of our Tartan 3400 Cocoa-Bella. The Truckster is the land tender to carry beverages to the boat.

Out of My Mindby Ruth Christie

What If?

Consider this. What if you were given access to a boat for an over-nighter on the Bay and would not

have to lift a finger? You do not have to know where you’re going or worry about provisioning, handling the boat, setting the hook and making way, cooking onboard, or watching the weather. Everything imagin-able will be taken care of; all you have to do is sit back, relax, and eat, drink, and be merry. And, it’s all free. Sounds great, doesn’t it? This August, when my sister Kate came to visit, on the spur of the mo-ment, we hatched a plan to take her up the Rhode River and show her Bay cruising at its best.

Living in the middle of Pennsylvania, she has little access to boats and zero cruis-ing opportunities. She gets bonus points for enjoying camping, going with the flow, and thoroughly enjoying our company and that of our kids. So, one Saturday, we left Cadle Creek in the early afternoon, “chugged” up the West River past Gales-ville, MD, and then returned to the Rhode River to anchor off Camp Letts’ western shore with a few other boats.

The overnighter was special, not just for the company of my beloved sister, but for the glorious weather; spectacular views of boats, islands, and wooded shores; well-behaved boats in our anchorage; delicious crab cakes for dinner (if I do say so myself); a vibrant sunset; and a star-filled night spent chatting in the flybridge before bed. A colorful sunrise, hot-pressed coffee, and Bloody Marys in the morning sealed the envelope full of fine Chesapeake memories.

On Sunday morning, by the time we had left the anchorage, dropped Kate off at our home, packed her a lunch, and sent her off to pick up family at BWI Airport on

Sunday morning, we had already cooked up a plan to grab our dinghy and spend one of the kids’ last Sunday evenings of sum-mer vacation by overnighting off Galesville. The promise of dinghy rides and dinner at a restaurant got the kids’ attention, and we did just that, enjoying excellent cream-of-crab soup and cheeseburgers, wonderful views of the West River, and good service at Thursday’s Steak and Crabhouse. We’ve never anchored on the West River before, mainly because it’s so close to home; but, we’re so glad we did. Touring around in our dinghy and being there to see the sights and watch the boats going by the an-chorage more than made up for Monday’s Chinese fire drill involved in getting off the boat, showering, and driving to daycare and work on time.

Kate says she had “a wonderful time! It was such great fun on the boat; a definite

Sunrise over the Rhode River

highlight for me… seeing the water and boats and birds. It’s been a long time since I had a chance to sleep where I could see the stars, and I really liked the early morn-ing and seeing the sunrise. You live in a very beautiful part of the world. And it was great for me to get a chance to see you all and get a wee taste of your boating life.”

To put her words in context, you have to know one thing. For the past 20 years or so, Kate has fulfilled her wanderlust by taking various trips across the United States and to Iceland, Europe, New Zea-land, obscure islands off Europe, and even Antarctica, which is her favorite place so far, hands down. She’s planning a three-week trip with family this spring to do a trek in Nepal; we’ll see if that moves to the top of her list. Hopefully, Bay cruising is up there, too.

Y owza! Hold on to your hats, ladies and gentlemen.

Solomons and the Patuxent River will be abuzz with the sights and sounds of high-octane race boats. October 1-3 bring the big boys to town for the Solomons Offshore Grand Prix hosted by the Offshore Powerboat Association (OPA) and Chesapeake Bay Power Boat Association (CBPBA). It’s the seventh event in an eight-race series, which began in Ocean City, MD, on Memorial Day weekend and will end in Solomons with the national cham-pionship. The eighth race will be in Orange Beach, AL, to determine the world champion.

When you arrive in Solomons for race weekend, you’ll find activities and events for the whole family, including your kids. At press time, many marinas in the area were offering discounts on transient slips for that weekend. Visit the dry pits, meet the race teams, look at the boats, have a bite to eat, pick up souvenirs, take pictures, and enjoy the racing scene. On race day, Sunday, grab a seat along the sea wall for a front-row view; you’ll feel the wind and vibration as the race boats blast by up close.

What’s Happening and Where?

M any big boats will travel to Solo-mons by trailer on Tuesday or Wednesday. Most of the teams

will trailer in on Thursday. Friday features setup in the crane area at Calvert Marina and wet and dry pits near Pepper Langley Fishing Pier and public boat ramps near the base of the bridge on the Solomons side. The pits are open to the public and free. There’s also a morning golf tourna-ment hosted by CBPBA to benefit Al-zheimer’s disease research and an evening party at Catamarans Restaurant.

After racers register at the Holiday Inn on Saturday, they will test their boats between noon and 3 p.m. The Chesapeake Bay Offshore Hero Poker Run to and from Vera’s White Sands will run between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. And, of course, there’s another party that night to celebrate the day’s activities. The fun will move to the Solomons Yachting Center for autographs, cheerleaders, and more.

Like we said, Sunday is race day. Cranes will open at 9 a.m., and the business of racing will take over Solomons, but in a fun way. [This isn’t the Tiki Bar opener, people. You’ll find racers are civilized sorts who like to talk about their sport; they leave their ag-gression out on the water.] Organizers will secure the course at 11 a.m. to make room for races 1, 2 and 3 (if needed) between noon and 3 p.m. After controlled pace laps, the racing will feature rolling starts. Each race will have between 15 and 20 boats.

The four-mile race course parallels the Riverwalk, which spans the island’s main drag. The USCG-sanctioned event will take place just south of the 1.5-mile-long Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge.

It’s made possible by 40 to 50 people, in-cluding sweep boat operators, crane opera-tors, and others. And, about the weather, organizer Mike Yowaiski says, “The only time we don’t race is when there’s lightning or fog.” The national champion will be “crowned” at 6 p.m. that night during the awards party for participants and fans alike.

Who Will Be Racing?

A mong the OPA Ocean Racing Tour contenders will be the Spirit of Qatar Team from the Qatar

Marine Sports Federation and the Infinity Team from Norway, as well as a bunch of your fellow countrymen, including the Miss GEICO Racing Team. Yowaiski says, “It’s hard to believe that for the owners and racers, it really is just a hobby. Racing is something they do because they love the boats and the sport of it.”

What About the Boats?

Y owaiski adds, “The boats range in length from 28 to 50 feet. We’re expecting 40 to 50 boats for some

bracket-class racing along with 10,000

spectators! Classes 6, 5, 4, 3, and 1 are bracketed by speed limits (70, 75, 85, 95, and 115 mph, respectively). You’ll also not want

to miss the five other classes, as well, includ-ing Super Vee Lites with a single 525, Super Vees with twin 525s, Supercat Lites with twin 525s, Supercats with twin 750s and 850s, and the Extremes/Turbines, including Miss GEICO, with 3500-4000 horsepower gas turbines. Class assignments are made by prop calculation, and speeds are monitored and verified by GPS.” No GPS, no money, honey.

How Do They Do It?

Y owaiski explains, “Each boat has a throttle man and a driver. The throttle man trims the boat, watches the gauges,

and keeps the boat balanced. The driver keeps the boat heading straight, finds clear water, and uses GPS to track speed and location. Both of them watch out for other boats and obstructions; on-board cameras provide peripheral vision. When airborne, these boats can jump the length of a football field! You have to set up corners to avoid getting a lot of air and know when to throttle back when you hit waves and catch some air and then throttle forward when you’re back on the water. After years of racing, you learn how to do it all by feel.”

What Else Is There?

Y ou can view the OPA Ocean Racing Tour’s eight-race series—presented by GEICO—in high definition at 4 p.m. on consecutive Sundays from Novem-ber 14 through January 2, 2011, on the sports cable network VERSUS. The

Clarks Landing’s AquaPalooza!

On July 31, more than 230 boats and about 1000 boaters joined Clarks Landing to share in the

fun and excitement at the fourth annual AquaPalooza at Conquest Beach on the Chester River. The picture-perfect weather, calm winds, and jellyfish-free waters made this a perfect event. Boats rafted up as far as the eye could see. Everyone enjoyed a DJ followed by live musical entertainment by the Beach Bumz, complimentary food and drinks, giveaways, games, dinghy rides compliments of Annapolis Boat Sales, a 15-foot water slide, a giveaway from Nettle Net Boat Pools, and more. “This was by far the biggest and best event of the year on the Chesapeake Bay, far exceeding our ex-pectations. It was so good to see hundreds of boaters with all makes and models of boats rafting up together for this exciting event,” says Jeff Truesdale, general man-ager of Clarks Landing. “We plan to keep building on this and continue growing the event in the future (clarkslanding.com).” For more fun photos, see page 54. —by Karen Colony

Taking Time Out for Wounded Warriorsby Frank Shults

I t’s a long way from the war in the Middle East to the Patuxent River. But that is where a number of our brave and wounded veterans found themselves August 7. The U.S. Power Squadrons of Northern Virginia, Rockville, MD,

and the Patuxent River hosted a Wounded Warrior Cruise for veterans of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, who are recovering at the Walter Reed and Fort Belvoir medical facilities. A group of 42 veterans and their friends and families joined us for a day of cruising and for an afternoon barbecue.

George Nartsissov, commander of the Northern Virginia Sail and Power Squadron, says, “We thank our wounded warriors for their service to our country. We try to give them a few moments where they can forget their troubles and enjoy the truly remarkable treasures that we have on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.” The squadrons assembled a fleet of 11 powerboats and sailboats for the event. Captains, crews, and guests explored the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay at their leisure.

Some guests chose to take the helm themselves, while others just sat back and enjoyed the beautiful day, the extraordinary scenery, and the welcome relaxation. At the end of the day, we gathered for a barbecue hosted by the Patuxent Naval Air Station.

It is typical of veterans who have sacrificed so dearly to preserve our freedoms to be humble. They speak of their wounds and their trauma only if asked and prefer to talk about their enjoyment of meeting new friends and sharing special moments together with them and their families. One veteran told me, as he sat in the shade during our afternoon meal, that he thoroughly enjoyed himself and that he had no intention of leaving anytime soon. “I am staying right here, sir,” he said. “This has been a beautiful day, and I have no intention of leaving any time soon. Thank you so much.”

The USCG Has You Covered

R escue 21 is the USCG’s new advanced command, control, and communi-cations system to help mariners in

distress and save lives and property at sea. The $1 billion rescue radio system is designed to take the “search” out of “search and rescue.” Created by General Dynamics, the system is currently being installed in stages across the United States.

Rescue 21 improves upon the 1970s-era technology that the USCG had been using. Before, radio towers could not pinpoint a radio transmission’s location. USCG members had to look at a radio tower’s entire reception area (a large circle), hope that multiple towers picked up a transmission, and then search any overlapping areas.

Rescue 21 draws a line between the tower and the transmission’s source. The search zone remains where the lines cross, but that is a significantly smaller area than before. The improved accuracy also helps identify hoax calls or accidental calls generated from boats that are sitting on the hard. Rescue 21 also can be used to record calls, and additional phone lines can be patched right into the system. Baltimore’s Curtis Bay Coast Guard Station remains the central hub for handling distress calls, coordinating rescues, and dispatching boats and helicopters on the Upper Bay.

Boaters should continue to use Channel 16 on VHF marine radios to report emergen-cies. Newer radios with digital selective calling can report detailed information to the USCG if they’ve been registered. Radios wired into GPS systems are even better; with Rescue 21, GPS coordinates will display at USCG as soon as an emergency transmission is made. To learn more, visit uscg.mil/acquisition/ rescue21.

I Just Bought a Boat: Now What Do I Do?

by Karen Holcomb

Y ou have done your due diligence and now are the ecstatic owner of your first boat or any number thereafter. Your dealer may

have given you some training with an experi-enced licensed captain by your side to become familiar with the specifics of your new boat, but now the pressure is on. It is time for you to leave the dock and go to another destination. You are responsible for your crew’s safety and want to make consistently respectable dockings and show excellent boat-handling skills.

Now, you don’t have to leave the dock alone as a new boat owner. The Chesapeake Area Profes-sional Captains Association (CAPCA) includes about 300 active USCG-licensed captains, who are available for any full-time or part-time deliv-eries, charters, or onboard instruction, whether power or sail, from Maine to Florida and the Bahamas.

CAPCA’s referral program generates an automatic e-mail alert to its membership al-lowing your job request to be posted. Interested CAPCA captains will contact you directly to discuss your specific needs. You—as the potential employer—are responsible for determining a captain’s suitability. CAPCA gives you a list of experienced USCG captains.

Also, CAPCA’s Continuing Education Program offers several courses each year over the winter for members of the public. Topics include handling onboard medical emergencies, first aid, emergency management at sea, marine fire protection, and weather analysis. To learn more, or to place a free ad with CAPCA’s referral program, visit capa.net.

Help Bash the Trash in Baltimore’s Harborby Beth Crabtree

T he Baltimore Harbor waterkeeper invites all of us who enjoy the Bay and its tributaries to join in the fun at the third annual Trash Bash September 18 from noon to 5 p.m. at Nick’s Fish

House, a casual waterfront restaurant on the Middle Branch. Rain or shine, the waterkeeper has planned an afternoon to educate, entertain, engage, and empower guests.

This is the waterkeeper’s major fundraiser of the year, and the festivities will be outdoors under tents on the decking overlooking the water. Guests can tour the Middle Branch on a Duffy electric boat; eat delicious food (from the oyster bar and more); dance to live music; sip cocktails, beer, and wine; and bid at an intriguing silent auction.

Eliza Smith Steinmeier, executive director and Baltimore Harbor waterkeeper, says, “Last year, we had a great turnout, and we were able to get our message out and raise awareness of what a waterkeeper does. The atmosphere at this year’s event will be that of a fun outdoor party with tropical Caribbean and blues mix music. What sets this event apart from most others is that our sponsors at the $500 level and above can reserve a boat slip for the day and overnight and enjoy the party from the deck as well as from their boats.”

For most of its length, the Patapsco River is a moderate river through a valley, but the last 10 miles are a tidal estuary, including Baltimore’s Harbor and the Middle Branch. These areas are plagued by pollution challenges such as raw sewage spills, garbage and other contaminants, street run-off, and past dumping of industrial pollution. Plan to attend and help the waterkeeper as she and her team work to achieve clean water in Baltimore’s rivers, streams, and harbor.

In the past two years, the Trash Bash has raised more than $34,000. Tickets are $75 and available at baltimorewaterkeeper.org.

L ook out, locals! A rocking-and-rolling boatload of fun will descend upon Annapolis October 14-17 in the form of the U.S. Powerboat Show. Think shiny new things and high-tech gear all in one place as

far as the eye can see. The nation’s oldest and largest in-water power-boat expo features everything… from boats to bling, from engines to electronics, from apparel to anchors, from lessons to latches, and more. You’ll find at least 85 boat brands, including family cruisers and center consoles, inflatables and power cats, luxurious motor yachts, trawlers and tugs, high-performance speedsters, and offshore fishing machines. The variety of vessels and exhibitors, including PropTalk, will boggle your mind and tempt your wallet.

This year features the Take the Wheel Interactive Workshop with boat demos; a green boating section with electric, hybrid, and solar-powered boats; antique and classic yachts; insightful seminars; the latest in navigation equipment and information; trailerable boats and inflatable toys (marine toys, of course); and a chance to win a Moorings Charter in the British Virgin Islands (with air fare). Specialty events include tours of the town, local haunts, and the harbor as well as impromptu parties, boat rides, and wine tastings.

Sit Back and Relax—Enjoy fantastic views and people watching at its best.

credit or debit cards, most of the food vendors that line the show fences say “In God We Trust; all others pay cash.” You’ll also want to be able to tip the bartenders at Pusser’s for making you the perfect Painkiller if you sample one (which you should).

Leave the road rage at home. The boat shows can get crowded and frustrat-ing at times, but the best way to enjoy them is by taking it easy, allowing enough time to wait in line to board boats, wander through the tents, and saunter along the docks. Angrily try-ing to rush your way through the show won’t make you or others happy campers.

Move it to the right if you’re going slow. One of the most aggravating habits of some show visitors is coming to a full

Boat Show No-NosDon’t leave home with-out checking the weather forecast. October is a time of change in Bay Country; one day can be blustery cold and rainy, while the other can be hot, sunny, and uncomfortable. Check the forecast online (the Annapolis ZIP code for the show is 21401) or on television before you leave, and wear appropriate clothing. There is nothing worse than being over- or under-dressed and uncomfortable as you peruse the show. Pack a slicker if there is rain forecasted; sport a pair of shorts and a T-shirt if it’s going to be a hot one. Sun block and sun glasses are never a bad idea.

Don’t expect everyone to take credit cards. While most of the vendors inside the show happily take

Leave your stilettos and clunky jewelry at

home. You’ll be better served by wearing a pair of boat shoes, which don’t leave black marks. Some brands that don’t leave marks include Keen “sandles,” Sperry Topsiders, and Sebago Docksides, among others. Don’t be surprised if you are asked to remove your shoes altogether to board many shiny new boats.

Bring the kids, but keep the strollers in the car. Strollers are not al-lowed at the boat shows for obvious reasons: It is almost impossible to negotiate them around the sometimes rolling, narrow floating docks, and they get in people’s way on the usually crowded show docks. It’s also not a bad idea to have younger kids wear a personal flotation device to the show (and we don’t mean water wings).

stop and having a conversation with a group of people in the middle of one of the show docks so others are unable to get by. If you catch up with a friend or friends you haven’t seen in a while, peel off to the side of the dock so visitor traffic can keep moving. If there’s a boat you’d like to look at from the outside, pull off well to the side so others can pass.

Don’t even think of parking here. While you may be able to score a parking spot downtown, there is very regular shuttle bus service from the Navy Marine-Corps Stadium parking lot, which serves as the remote parking area for the show. It also helps relieve congestion downtown, which makes the show more fun for everyone. There is also fundraising parking just over the Eastport Drawbridge and among the neighborhood streets. But beware; Annapolis Parking Enforcement is on high alert during the shows. Make sure you park correctly, on the right side of the street, and mind meters and time limits if you do brave bringing your car.

“Fly-by-Night”

W ho hasn’t used the derogatory term “fly-by-night” to describe a

shady character who is likely to disap-pear like a thief into the dark of evening, probably with someone’s hard-earned cash? In fact, the term was originally used in the days of tall ships to describe an accessory square sail set on a tem-porary yard. Since it was very easy to handle, captains often liked to use it at night when sailing in tight quarters was all the more difficult. In common usage, it has evolved to mean a person on whose business ethics you can not rely.

“The Real McCoy”

T hese days if you call someone “the Real McCoy,” you are giving the

person a very high compliment indeed. But, it is curious to discover that what is believed to be the true origin of the term started with a boat builder in Canada who was also a very skilled bootleg-ger. Bill McCoy’s liquor was known as the finest, pure, unadulterated booze. While the police were not happy with him, McCoy managed to bring lots of joy to lots of folks during prohibition. If you had a bottle of McCoy’s liquor, you could count on it being of the very best quality; it was, after all, the Real McCoy. Other historians claim the term came from a prize fighter who called himself “Kid McCoy” and quieted a heckler with one punch. When he woke up, the heckler reportedly exclaimed: “That’s the real McCoy alright.”

Some good ol’ boys and a friend sit around a traditional moonshine still, just like the kind “Real” Bill McCoy used to create boot-leg white lightning. Photo courtesy of the American Folklife Center


S teamed crabs, National Bohemian beer, Esskay hot dogs, Old Bay Seasoning, the Baltimore Orioles and Ravens sports teams; most Chesapeake Country natives are familiar with these tangible things that make the city “charming,” hon. But there are hidden treasures on

the street corners in Canton, Fells Point, Little Italy, and around the Inner Harbor itself that few outsiders ever see or experience. With that in mind, we plied the PropTalk staff to unwillingly share their secret favorite hangouts to eat, drink, be merry, and explore the local wildlife. The best part of the deal is Ed Kane’s Water Taxis in Baltimore, which runs a circuit of the Inner and Northwest Harbors. This circuit is where all the action and attrac-tions we’ve selected are, so everything is only a taxi trip or short walk away. And, of course, we’ve included the big attractions as well, but we know you’ll enjoy the street corners and back alleys.

Photos and Story by Charlie Iliff

The dog ate the calendar. How’s that? At the end of our last report, I predicted that if we didn’t make

the planned August cruise to Newport, RI, we’d have a ration of great excuses. And that one’s real. Our old dog Clyde, currently well into his second puppyhood, did chew up Lucy’s planning calendar. It didn’t delay anything, but it’s a great excuse, don’t you think?

As I spent some time recovering from

The Dog Ate My Homework

recent surgery, I had an excuse not to do anything constructive and milked it for almost a month. As I was emulating Beetle Bailey, I didn’t keep pressure on other folks doing unpleasant jobs like sanding and painting and caulking in 95-plus-degree weather, or turning wrenches in an engine room with no ventilation. So, on the day we were supposed to depart for Newport, Indian Summer was still up on the hard, and revised plans for other cruising objec-

tives are now being proposed and debated. But, there’s some progress to report. De-spite the heat, Jay Collison mounted the refurbished swim platform we obtained from another DeFever in Mississippi, installed and sealed the five forward ports, and caulked, sanded, and epoxied the rub rails. Jay delayed installing our new galley table until carrying it aboard wouldn’t require climbing a 10-foot ladder. It looks great and has been tested for dining and computer work. It still needs a couple of catches, extendable legs, and a cushion to complete its bunk function. The guys at Smith’s Marina buffed the topsides, sanded and painted the bottom, and touched up the cove stripe and boot top. Bob Burnett put new zincs on, and the props and shafts were cleaned and coated with antifouling material.

There has also been some progress on the mechanical front. Dennis Dornbush, of Seakev Marine, reattached the lubrica-tion lines to the stuffing boxes per the sur-vey recommendations. Whoever removed those systems apparently wasn’t aware that the DeFever 44 has a cutlass bear-ing behind each stuffing box, essentially buried in the prop shaft tunnel. The bear-ing is water lubricated, but can’t get much water from the outside while the boat is moving. Therefore, water is injected into the stuffing boxes to flow out past the shaft to the bearing. During impel-ler replacement, Dornbush declared one engine raw-water pump too far behind the maintenance curve, so a replacement was

Indian Summer’s new forward portlights finally move into place.

My objective is to sample Smith

Island cake at its source. So may-

days to see Smith and Tangier

islands, Crisfield, and maybe

Onancock. Although we have

scheduled and rescheduled

some trips, there is one abiding

rule for Indian Summer’s cruising:

installed. The impeller was missing some lobes, so with Dornbush’s urging, the oil cooler was replaced as well. He couldn’t be sure there weren’t some remaining impeller scraps restricting water flow. My suspicion is that the sea chest air lock reported last month damaged the impeller, but Dorn-bush reported that the pump internals were also corroded sufficiently enough to cause damage—thus a shiny new pump now sits on the starboard engine. Dornbush also has replaced the front seals on both engines, which were seeping a little oil out onto the fanbelts, slinging a vague decora-tive stripe of petroleum on the walls of the engine room. After valve adjustments, Dornbush says he will prioritize a couple of additional projects to bring the engines up to an acceptable maintenance level. He predicts that if we follow his directions about care and feeding, our engines should be good for a few thousand more hours.

We’re still planning some cruising before the summer is out, but a little bit less ambitious in scope than the canceled Newport trip. Some of our group wants

to explore Smith Island by bicycle. My objective is to sample Smith Island cake at its source. So maybe we’ll head south for a few days to see Smith and Tangier islands, Crisfield, and maybe Onancock. Although we have scheduled and re-scheduled some trips, there is one abid-ing rule for Indian Summer’s cruising: We don’t have to get anywhere on any time schedule. The boat is for relaxation, not transportation. We keep reciting that philosophy to ourselves, perhaps to avoid embarrassing comparisons to people like Elaine and Ed Henn. While we’ve celebrated a couple of overnight trips—close to home—on a massive 44-foot trawler, the Henns have taken their 25-foot Ranger Tug up the East Coast to New York, up the Hudson River, through the Erie Canal, into Lake Ontario, around Cape Vincent, through the Thousand Islands, through the St. Lawrence River and canal systems to Montreal, down through Lake Cham-plain, back down the Hudson River, down the Jersey coast, up the Delaware

Indian Summer’s new inverter will provide quiet, peaceful evenings at anchor.


Bay, through the C & D Canal, and back to Annapolis. They’ve gone further in a 25-foot boat than we’ve gone on a large-scale planning chart.

Wherever and whenever we go, Indian Summer’s next cruise will be the first with our new Magnum 2812 inverter. For her first 28 years, Indian Summer had to run her generator or plug into shore power whenever any of the 120-volt systems on the boat were used. She is wired so that the air conditioning/heating system is on one 120-volt leg of her 50-amp, 240-volt system, and all other 120-volt systems are on the other leg. She has 12-volt lights, but her refrigerator, stove, microwave, hot water heater, and outlets in each cabin are 120-volt and require use of the generator or shore power. With the inverter, we’ll still need the generator for heavy loads—the air conditioner, electric stove, and hot water heater, but there will also be plenty of power from the inverter for the micro-wave, reading lights, fans, and refrigerator, and for a TV and sound system when we get around to putting those in. The objec-tive is to have the boat quiet at anchor.

The inverter installation was done over an August weekend by Steve Koch. When on their own, Steve and his wife Diane live and cruise on a DeFever 49, Aurora. When an opportunity presents, Steve does some electric, electronic, and mechanical work, primarily on boats owned by members of the DeFever Cruisers. I posted a note on the club website on Yahoo!, asking members for their experiences with various brands of inverters. Steve responded that he was on his way to the Chesapeake Bay and might be able to help us. Several other members jumped in, to tout Steve’s skill as a boat electrician—and as a baker of gourmet key lime pies. Steve and Diane currently have their own boat in storage and are co-captains on a new Outer Reef 65, Jolly Good. They brought her up from the Bahamas to Mid Shore Electronics in Cambridge, MD, for warranty work on some of her electronic systems. They expect the owners to join them for some Bay cruising when the work is completed. In the meantime, Steve spent a warm and cramped couple of days analyzing our old wiring, making up cables, fishing wires

through crowded chases, and explaining the functions, capabilities, and limitations of the new inverter system. Unfortunately, time didn’t permit a key lime pie.

Although things are moving slowly, we’re pleased with the Indian Summer proj-ect. Her appearance, comfort, mechanical, and electrical systems are much improved. As soon as I send this off to PropTalk, I’ll get back to working on cruise Plan D.

AquaPalooza is short for “an exaggerated water event,” and an exaggerated wa-ter gathering it is. Sea Ray dealers coordinate these events across the country to celebrate the boating lifestyle (all makes of boats are welcome), with the

signature event this year being held on Lake Travis, TX, July 10, where 7000 boats and up to 70,000 people floated around on surf noodles, beer coolers, or anything else that floated to listen to various bands and country musician Brad Paisley. On July 31, PropTalk staff packed coolers and cameras onto the PropTalk Protector, then blasted our way across the Bay and up to local Sea Ray dealer Clarks Landing’s event on the Chester River at Conquest Beach, where we came across a wild menagerie of boats, floats, pool toys, “made up” yacht clubs, and people of all sorts. Enjoy the scenery. We did.

Chesapeake Bay Summer Racing:

Hot Stuff

Photos by Gary Reich

B ay racing was hot this year, with the mercury approaching 100 degrees at both classic signature summer events. First came the 100th Cambridge Classic, held July 22-25 on Hambrooks Bay

off the Choptank River, followed on August 7-8 by the 20th running of Thunder on the Narrows, off Kent Island Narrows on Hog Bay. Both events were well organized and fun despite the heat, and the crowd turn-outs were spectacular!

Many Bay Country race teams performed well at both events: Bran-don Kennedy of Bear, DE, who owns and drives the 1.5-Litre Stock T-1 Shameless Say What? grabbed first place at both events, as did Larry Laut-erbach’s National Modified NM-200 MURJR’s Lauterback Special. Near and dear to PropTalk’s heart, Ralph Cattaneo’s 5-Litre E-50 PropTalk Mistress took first at Thunder on the Narrows for the 5-litre class and won the Alton Pierson trophy. Tom Pakradooni, who owns and runs Twin Rivers Yacht Basin in Chesapeake City, MD, took first at Thunder on the Narrows in the Jersey Speed Skiff class with JS-7 Rolling Thunder. Enjoy the action.

It’s Official… The Dock Party, That Is

F ourteen 22- to 33-foot Grady-Whites made an impressive sight along the floating dock at

Knapp’s Narrows Marina & Inn dur-ing the Chesapeake Bay Grady-White Club’s Palooza III August 20-22. Many other Grady-White owners stayed in the

marina’s inn. Participants (above) toured the Poplar Island reconstruction project, enjoyed official and unofficial dock parties, sampled the fare at various area restaurants, swam and sunned at the pool, devoured the Palooza buffet dinner and won door prizes, and had USCG Auxiliary safety inspections of their boats. The weekend was full of shared fun and information, as well as beautiful weather, that is, until Sunday, when it turned windy and nasty. Thankfully, all made it safely, with boat, crew, and memories intact. Members now have ample time to cruise and/or fish on our beau-tiful waters. September 28 brings a meeting and potluck dinner at Podickory Point, and October 26 features a costume party at Bill Bateman’s Bistro in Severna Park, MD ([email protected]). —by Maryanne Gomme

Flip, Flop, and Drop?

M ore than 75 members and guests participated in the Back Creek Yacht Club’s annual Lobster

Fest August 21. Many came by boat and docked or rafted at Wally and Molly Stone’s house overlooking Crab Creek off the South River. After spirited canoe races on the creek (see right), we enjoyed drinks, appetizers, lobsters, corn, potatoes, and coleslaw. The next morning, most took advantage of an omelet breakfast, catered by Flip, Flop, and Drop and hosted by Ben and Candy Wilson and their family under a flower-festooned canopy. During our Labor Day Weekend Cruise at the Miles River Yacht Club near St. Michaels, we enjoyed cookouts, evenings at the club’s Tiki Bar, meals at the club, and visits to St. Michaels. September 18-19 bring a cruise, and September 22 features dinner at Pirates Cove Restaurant in Galesville, MD. October 2 will bring the annual Crab Fest at Westbrook and Cynthia Murphy’s house on Almshouse Creek off the South River. The boat show breakdown party at the An-napolis Waterfront Marriott October 11 will herald the changeover to the power-boat show (gobcyc.com). —by Otto Hetzel

The Best Is Yet To Be

During September, the Jewish Navy wished all of our boating brethren a sweet and good year

that is blessed with peace and clean waters in the Bay and beyond. Some of us sym-bolically cast our negative attributes into the water: for acting holier than thou, we offered a bagel; for excessive use of irony, we offered rye bread; and for telling bad jokes, we offered cornbread. We continue to develop new friendships and strengthen our ties (not knots) with our stalwart members. Boating season is not over yet; stay tuned as we firm up plans for October (jewishnavy.org). —by Adiva Sotzsky

Summer Doldrums? No Way!

T wo Tidewater Grady-White Club members, Brian and his wife Cathy, decided that a little hot air was not going to keep C-Time tied to the dock. A crew was as-sembled in short order, since no one says “no” to an invitation to fish on a Grady.

The crew headed offshore to tangle with the mules of the ocean: amberjack. Sixty nautical miles (nm) from Cape Henry, the lines hit the water just before 8 a.m., and the boat took on a dozen mahi mahi, including this gorgeous 20 pounder (shown above). They then headed to the South Tower 24 nm off the Carolina coast. Cathy showed everyone up by hooking and landing the more-than-eager jacks. She had already brought the first five to the boat, but since some women are hard to please, she insisted on trying for a citation 50-incher. The next croaker did the trick. A husky 50-incher obliged, and Cathy got her release citation! Her radiant smile belied the fact that she was bone tired. The next time the heat gets you down, realize that we are blessed with a first-class offshore fishery. Fishing is a whole lot more fun than staying home ([email protected]). —by Peter Paul and Brian Hodson

Ahh… The Prospect of a Picnic!

On August 14, the Antique and Classic Boat Society/Chesapeake Bay Chap-

ter (ACBS/CBC) held its annual picnic honoring volunteers and introducing new members at the home of Scott and Julie Tompkins on the banks of Little Greenwood Creek. About 50 people enjoyed an outstanding summer day doin’ what comes naturally: swimming, eating, relaxing, and enjoying good con-versation with friends both old and new. Joining the fun were Yankee, a 38-foot ketch owned by George Hazzard, who also owns Wooden Boat Restoration, and Scarlett O, a 1950 18-foot Chris-Craft Riviera owned by Jim and Toni Schiller. With more than 200 members, ACBS/CBC hosts meetings, parties, cruises, and boat shows and welcomes new members who appreciate old boats and wonderful camaraderie ((917) 821-3757). —by Julie Tompkins

Ten out of the 34 boats participating in the event—including Born to be Weil, Empty Pockets, Fuhgedaboutit, Grand Baron, Mama Crane, Mishigas, Over the Edge, Sails Call, Sea Note, and Suture Self—came from SBYC! The SBYC Cruise for Kids fleet represent-ed powerboats and sailboats ranging from 35 to 58 feet, all with the thought of giving back to those who really need it. We took several disabled kids and their families and caregivers for a cruise. We look forward to the 20th anniversary event to be held next year. —by Dennis Stromberg

Racing News by Gary Reich

T he Patuxent River off Solomons will churn like a tropical drink in a blender October 1-3, when

offshore Grand Prix racing arrives in Solo-mons for the Solomons Offshore Grand Prix races. Mike Yowaiski, organizer of the event, says “We’re expecting 40 to 50 boats from 28 to 50 feet in length for some bracket-class racing along with 10,000 spectators.” The event is Offshore Power-boat Racing’s (oparacing.org) seventh event of the 2010 season and is also where the national champion will be crowned. For complete race details, see our Dock Talk feature on page 18.

The 84th Hampton Cup Regatta was held August 13-15 off Hampton, VA, and was the site of the Eastern Divisionals. Brandon Kennedy took yet another win in his 1.5-Litre Stock T-1 Shameless Say What?, Paul Brockson won the 2.5-Litre class with A-19 The ‘A’ Team, And Dave Greenlaw took a win in his Jersey Speed Skiff JS-99 Veri Cherri. Region 4 racing will wind down October 2-3 with the 2010 Clarksville Hydroplane Challenge on Buggs Island Lake in Clarksville, VA.

As the racing season winds down, I wanted to take a moment to thank a few members of the racing community who put

up with my persistent pestering for results, got me into the hot pits at important races, and never declined to answer any of my silly questions. Ralph Cattaneo, co-owner of the 5-Litre The Mistress tuned me into the racing scene, helped me with results, but most of all, he’s a fervent supporter of PropTalk; even the cowling on his hydro-

“Cruise in comfort.” It’s the bread-and-butter market-ing and advertising tagline we see in flashy boating

magazine adverts and glossy brochures snuck into our bags at boat shows. But what does cruising in comfort really mean? In my book, it means not feeling like you’ve been beaten up and run around the inside of a front-loading washing machine for eight hours at the end of a passage. Through a combination of engineer-ing, design, and construction techniques, Kadey-Krogen manufactures an able line of full-displacement yachts that are inherently comfortable at a steady pace in varying sea conditions—not just while sipping cock-tails at the dock.

Why a Krogen?

I met owner Betty Robinson, a retired (and single) corporate CIO; Kadey-

Krogen Vice President Larry Polster; and Krogen’s sales and marketing assistant Shannon Band at Port Annapolis Marina on Back Creek in Annapolis one early, hot

with large Corian countertop surfaces (granite is an option), a single-basin sink, a microwave/convection oven, a full-sized top-and-bottom refrigerator/freezer, a propane cooktop/oven, a dishwasher, a trash compactor, and an ice maker. There is plenty of room in the cabinets and drawers to swallow up a full complement of cook-ing accessories, flatware, plates and dishes, dry goods, and supplies.

Forward of the galley, two steps down give access to the two staterooms (a three-stateroom configuration is available) and two full heads. First to starboard is the “guest” stateroom with a desk/settee combo (the settee folds down into a double berth), which is large enough to sleep a couple and not have them bumping into each other. To port is a fully-equipped isolated guest head with enclosed shower. The ship’s washer and dryer are also located here.

The main stateroom is a luxurious island, queen-sized affair with storage underneath, ample bedside shelves, two bedside settees, three hanging lockers, and a full-size dresser/bureau with large mirror. Access to the isolated head and enclosed shower is to port and aft of the main berth. Opening ports and two opening hatches offer excellent ventilation and lighting.

On the Outside

I found big, sturdy hardware throughout the deck sections of the 48 North Sea.

The 316 stainless hawse pipes and cleats were large, and I found the stainless rail and step work to be sturdy, well mounted, and precisely welded. The teak toe rail is thick, well joined, and made of high-quali-ty, nicely colored lumber.

The foredeck is wide and large and

Kadey-Krogen 48 North Sea

August morning. While we sipped coffee and munched on bagels, I asked Robinson “Why a Krogen?” Robinson says “I wanted to buy a boat where I didn’t feel like I was ‘camping.’ I wanted a ‘real’ living room, a ‘real’ room of my own, and since I love to cook, I wanted to be able to produce the same meals aboard that I could produce at home. Most of all, I wanted to be able to travel… a lot.” Robinson cruises up and down the Intracoastal Waterway to the Keys on LiLi annually and has also made trips to the Bahamas with her.

What’s Inside?

Access to the expansive saloon from the aft deck is via a rugged aluminum

door. Inside, the saloon is equipped with a buttery-soft, leather-covered, L-shaped settee to starboard, and a three-seat set-tee off to port, upholstered in the same fashion. In between sits a teak table with a fold-out top and high-low base for adjust-able height.

Forward of the saloon to port is a C-shaped galley, which is well-equipped

equipped with a Maxwell 2200 HWC windlass and double anchor roller. Amply wide side decks give fore and aft access to the foredeck and aft deck, respectively.

The ports are massive stainless steel opening ManShips with screens, hatches are aluminum Lewmars, and the windows and doors are made by Diamond Sea Glaze. The doors are painted or powder coated and made of welded or extruded marine aluminum.

The fiberglass hull and superstructure are produced from female tooling using high-quality gelcoat as a base. Construc-tion is hand-laid Knytex fiberglass with closed-cell PVC foam used in the top-sides. The hull is made of solid fiberglass with vinylester resin used in the first two laminates.

The Ride

There’s no doubt that Robinson is the captain of LiLi. She is polite, but firm,

and handles the big boat well. Robinson easily backed out of the slip with small doses of help from the ABT TRAC hydraulic bow thruster. The Krogen backed extremely predictably for a large, single-screw yacht of her size.

Once free of the slip, we all gathered in the pilothouse and steamed down Back Creek for a rendezvous with the Severn River. The pilothouse is wide, comfort-

able, and easy to see out of from most every direction. There is ample room for charts and gear on both sides of the helm, and the extensive array of navigation equipment didn’t seem “packed in” and was easy to see and operate.

While we didn’t have high winds or seas for our trip, the boat handled nicely through all the maneuvers we put her through. The ABT TRAC fin stabilizers did an amazing job of keeping the boat flat and level, even during hard-over turns and the occasional rolling-wake encounter from passing sport-fish yachts. We varied our speeds from dead stop to almost eight knots with no signifi-cant anomalies to note.

Lastly, and most importantly, the Krogen 48 North Sea is quiet, comfortable, and vibration-free at the helm. With my shoes off, I was hard pressed to feel any mechani-cal vibration from the engine, or any feed-back from hard knocks of water against the hull. I could see and feel how comfortable this boat would be for long-distance cruis-ing. No ringing ears, no fatigue, no aches or pains. The 48 North Sea is the quietest and most vibration-free boat I have ever been on. Mind you the comfort comes at a cost (speed), but it’s about the voyage in a boat of this type.

For Gear Heads

The Krogen 48 North Sea is powered by a John Deere #6068TFM75 diesel,

producing 201 horsepower at 2600 rpm. The engine is bolted to a Twin Disc 3.00:1 transmission, which spins a two-inch diameter Aquamet 22 shaft mated to a four-blade, 32-inch, bronze Hung Shen propeller.

Access to the sound-insulated engine room is through a hatch in the galley sole. Everything in the engine room is neatly and cleanly laid out, with easy access to all vital systems. Even with the John Deere engine, Northern Lights 12 Kw generator, fuel polishing system, electrical conduits and wiring, raw water and exhaust pipes, water heater, and more machinery than I can list here, I’d wager you could fit three people comfortably in the space.

Back to the Stable

After our spin around, Robinson deftly pulled up to a side dock so I could go

fetch our photo boat and take some of the shots you see in this spread. I walked down the dock and asked myself “Why did I like this boat so much?” On my way down Edgewood Road, it clicked. The Krogen

does what it says it is supposed to do and doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It’s a hefty, beefy, full-displacement motor yacht built for comfortable, safe coastal or wide-open ocean cruising. It’s made with quality top-end materials and fittings that match a boat of its stature. Most of all, it’s comfort-able and non-taxing in every way. kadeykrogen.com

T he 2010 summer heat continued through late August and into early September while many yards continued pushing hard to get repair and refit work finished in time for the approaching haul-out season. Many new boat deals, which have been brewing

through the summer are now finalized, and we are happy to report that several Chesapeake builders will have plenty of custom boatbuilding work to keep them occupied through the winter. Separately, PropTalk will publish part one of a four-part series in our December is-sue that will cover the construction of an all-Corecell-built, 27-foot express fishing machine from Bandy Boats in Riva, MD. The series will illustrate the process by which a customer’s 20-year dream hits the design board, enters the 3D digital realm, takes form in the shop, and then hits the water, bound for Montauk, NY.

Jake Glover of Composite Yacht in Trappe, MD, tells PropTalk that construction has just started on a new

Composite 37CB. This Chesapeake-style boat with an extended cabin will be finished as a coastal cruiser. This particular build will be outfitted with a Cummins diesel, a generator set, air conditioning, and other creature features to make her a comfortable cruiser. Her new owners plan on cruising her regularly from Florida to Maine. Delivery is scheduled for late De-cember. Glover also reports that a deal has been sealed, and construction has begun on

a custom commercial oyster boat. Com-posite Yacht will use a 46-foot Markley hull as the platform and will install twin 430-horsepower freshwater-cooled EFI Mercruisers with commercial outdrives to allow the boat to access shallow water. She is drawn using all-composite construction, implementing both Nida-Core and Coosa foam. Another contract is also complete for a 46-foot Chesapeake-style custom. The final build details are still in the works, but she is expected to be comfortably equipped and outfitted for both fishing and long-distance cruises.

Tracey Munson of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, tells PropTalk that

Kathryn, a Chesapeake Bay skipjack built in Crisfield, MD, in 1901, was launched on August 18 after maintenance work at the museum’s shop. Noted as one of the fastest skipjacks on the Bay, Kathryn is designated a Maritime National Historic Landmark and is currently owned by Capt. Harold

“Stoney” Whitelock of Dames Quarter, MD. Kathryn is 50 feet long 15.67 feet wide and draws 4.17 feet of water. With an unusual “soft” chine, she is fore-and-aft-planked, unlike most skipjacks, which are cross-planked. Kathryn carries the standard skipjack rig with a raked mast, measur-ing 64 feet tall and 12 inches in diameter, utilizing a clubbed jib and a jib-headed mainsail to catch the breeze.

Dennis Elzey of Elzey Custom Boats in Cambridge, MD, says his crew is hard at work on two

Shore Built 24 hulls, both of which are going to be fitted out as commercial fishing boats to work Southern Maryland waters. Check the filmstrip images in this article to see the progress on these strong, hard-working hulls. Elzey also reports that the shop is busy with fiberglass, refit, and repair work on a 23-foot C-Hawk, a 25-foot Romarine, and a 26-foot MacGregor.

T om Weaver of the Eastport Yacht Company in Annapolis, is excited to announce that the company

has finalized deck layout details for its new Eastport 26, which joins the company’s lineup with the popular Eastport 32 model.

Hull number one is due to be completed in the late fall. Stay tuned to the company’s website for details on the progress of this cool new pocket cruiser. eastportyacht.com

T om Weaver, on behalf of Sarles Boatyard and Marina in Annapo-lis, says the working yard has been

busy with engine repowers this summer, converting a Bertram 33 from gas to diesel, replacing the old engines with a new pair of 370-horsepower Cummins engines. The yard also gave some tender-loving-care to a custom Belkov, which received a new

Cummins diesel. Weaver also commented that “the railway has been full, as we have been painting topsides on a number of boats.”

James Moores of Moores Marine Yacht Center Inc. in Beaufort, NC, recently launched Shearwater, a 42-foot 1957

Elsworth Wingate-built Chesapeake dead-rise bound for Georgetown, MD. Moores reports that the extensive restoration in-cluded structural reinforcement in the back aft section of the vessel, new bilge stringers, shaft tube replacement, refastening the bot-tom, and a complete paint job from stem to stern. Check out her launching in this sec-tion’s image filmstrip; she’s quite a looker. Moores, who specializes in full restorations of classic wooden craft, says Trumpys are his passion, having restored 27 of them over the years.

Susan Campbell of Campbell Custom Yachts and Campbell’s Boatyards in Oxford, MD, says the

heat hasn’t kept the crew down, and work-ers have been scrambling around finishing varnish and general repair work. Campbell

also mentions that the company is in the midst of a full-blown Awlgrip job on a 47-foot Swan. Once the Swan is finished, a 48-foot Offshore Sedan will move in for paint work and a new hardtop. Like many shops, Campbell’s is in the midst of several repowers on a variety of small boats. Two 39-foot catamarans from South Africa are also in the yard and took up every inch of Campbell’s Travelift to get up on the hard.

R eid Bandy of Bandy Boats in Riva, MD, is currently building a 27-foot express for a client in Sag

Harbor, NY. The jig was up in the shop, and Bandy was beginning to lay Corecell sheets in late August. Bandy’s design and construction techniques are not new, but unique. The entire boat is cored entirely with Corecell high-density foam, which is fastened and shaped to the hull jig. Once the joint adhesive cures, the fasteners are removed, the hull is faired, and layers of e-glass are laid down with epoxy resin. Once the outside is done, the boat is flipped, and similar techniques are employed inside the hull. The result is a boat that is 30- to 40-percent lighter than conventional 27 footers. PropTalk will be following the construction of this boat throughout the winter. Check out our December, January, February, and April issues for full features on the creation of this strong but light-weight fishing machine.

Bill Donahue of Annapolis Classic Watercraft in Millersville, MD, sent a note to the PropTalk office in

late August with the exciting news that he is reinventing his restoration and boatbuilding

business, moving his shop from Annapolis to Millersville, and rethinking the company’s strengths to focus more on what he terms “reboats,” which involves taking an aging old classic and shaping it up to like-new form. Donahue is still working on his Homewood Landing 24 design in the new shop and is investigating manufacturing a fiberglass ver-sion. Donahue, who started the business in 2002, took a leave for health reasons recently, but also admits last year’s sluggish economy left him with customers unable to pay their bills. The good news is that Donahue says his

new, smaller space in Millersville will allow the company to be more financially efficient and focus on what it does best. Welcome back, Bill.

Jerry LeCompte of Dockside Boat Works in Cordova, MD, wrote us to report that the shop’s crew is occupied

with putting a new bottom on a 1950 17-foot Chris-Craft Sportsman and finishing up the varnish on a 1956 17-foot Chris-Craft Sportsman, and that work is starting to wind down on the long-term restoration of a 1955 21-foot Capri. LeCompte says “We are about to start a complete restora-tion on a 1947 17-foot Chris-Craft Deluxe, and in the engine shop I am putting a 331 Hemi together for the 21-foot Capri.” Images of the Capri are located in the filmstrip that weaves through this article. The varnish work is stunning.

Guy Gauvin of Hinckley Yacht Services in Annapolis and Oxford checked in to report on

the progress with Godspeed, a Hinckley Sou’wester 50 yawl, which is going through some extensive system upgrades. The yard crew removed the mizzen mast so a new Raymarine 18-inch digital dome could

be installed. In addition to the dome, the crew also installed a new electron-ics package consisting of a Raymarine E140 14-inch widescreen display, a Sirius SR100 weather package, and a Raystar 125 GPS. The shop’s carpenters are building a new navigation panel to accommodate all of the new gizmos and match the existing woodwork of the interior. While all of this high-tech work is going on, the existing Ford Lehman is being swapped for a rebuilt replace-

ment from Atlantic Diesel. While the old engine is out of the engine compartment, technicians will replace all of the associ-ated wiring, charging system, and raw water hoses. The boat is scheduled for a late-September launch.

Joe Reid of Mast & Mallet Boatworks in Edgewater, MD, is busy with wood work on a 1964 Chris-Craft Sea

Skiff. Reid says “We’re replacing the plywood bottom with another plywood

bottom, but this one will be coated with fiberglass and epoxy.” Reid is also replac-ing the port knighthead (a structural member next to the bowsprit) on a Her-reshoff Neria design. Also in for routine hull paint and minor plank replacement is a 41-foot German Frers design, which was built in the early 50s. A seven-foot Atkins lapstrake sided rowboat is still under construction.

India Lemmon with Chesapeake Boat Works in Deltaville, VA, says “We are currently restoring a Hobie

Cat 16, which was found lying on the owner’s beach where it had been collect-ing some water in the hulls over the years. We brought it to our shop where we dried it out and repaired the holes, gouges, and scratches. She is now primed and being prepared to be sprayed with paint. Not only have we repaired both hulls, but we have also repaired, applied non-skid, and spray

painted the decks. Once she is complete, the owner will have a “like-new” Hobie Cat to sail for pleasure.”

Pete Mathews of Mathews Brothers in Denton, MD, e-mailed to report that his crew is currently onto yet another

Awlgrip job and is continuing with the ex-tensive refit of an old Pearson. Mathews says “We are getting calls on new builds, which are welcome. The Hampton One is coming together, with all the pieces being finished and getting ready for assembly.”

“$ ” is how he signs his e-mails and text messages, but if you’ve ever perused the fishing pages of PropTalk, The Capital Newspaper, The Fisherman, or Tide

magazine, or tuned into WNAV Radio’s weekly fishing fore-casts, you likely know him by the name Capt. Chris D. Dollar, resident Bay fishing guru.

While I had heard his name thrown around quite a bit, it wasn’t until I started at PropTalk in March that Dollar and I started to get to know each other a bit. Persistent pestering from me for the fish forecasts turned into e-mail exchanges and invitations for fishing, but both of our busy schedules kept plans for early summer fishing from becoming a reality-more on that later.

Now hailing from the Eastern Shore, Dollar is a proud An-napolis native. When I told him I’d been living in Annapolis for 40 years, he called me on it. “You’ve been in Annapolis that

whole time? Where did you go to high school?” “Old Mill,” I said. “You lived in Crownsville or Millersville, didn’t you? That ain’t An-napolis, son.” It’s this curious, inquisitive nature that makes Dollar likeable. Dollar did eventually leave Annapolis in 1984 to attend Washington College in Chestertown, MD, but moved back to An-napolis upon graduating in 1988.

Dollar told me he didn’t really have any fishing mentors or much of a passion for the sport while growing up in Annapolis, which was surprising. “I guess the turning point was an eight-month trip to Australia, where I got hooked on fly fishing for trout; after that, I be-gan to try harder and started to ‘study’ fish and fishing,” Dollar says.

It wasn’t until 1995, when Dollar was hired by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, that a passion for fishing, outdoor education, writ-ing, and editing started to kindle. Here he wrote educational articles on the Bay, held outdoor education field trips for groups out on the Bay, and provided editorial for various departments within the organization. “I learned a good deal and got a good grounding in Bay ecology. I liked being outside the best and met some good people,” Dollar says. Dollar left his post in 2005. “I put in a good 10 years there, but I had my eyes on other things,” Dollar added.

After leaving the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Dollar landed at The Fisherman magazine in 2006, where he served as managing editor until 2008. After leaving The Fisherman, Dollar got more involved with freelance writing and editing and fish guiding and even pulled a stint during a cold winter doing light construction work.

Once he’d survived that cold winter, Dollar realized that he needed a steady income source. “Since the mid-90s, I’ve fished and hunted from kayaks, so I saw an opportunity for a small shop in the Kent Island, Grasonville, or Queenstown area that would offer quality kayaks and gear with reliable advice at good prices,” Dollar says. So in 2009, Dollar opened Kent Island Kayaks, which offers everything he envisioned. The cozy shop provides sales, rentals, instruction, and guiding for everything kayak related, with a focus on fishing kayaks and gear. Dollar also runs a series of kids’ fishing camps around the Bay each year where he and other mentors teach the kids to “Think Like a Fish.” “I’ve found that I enjoy being my own boss—whether things go well or bad, I don’t have to spend a lot of energy of figuring out who I have to talk to,” Dollar jokes.

I was finally able to meet up with Dollar on a beautiful, sunny August day at his Kent Island Kayaks storefront in the Wells Cove development off Kent Narrows. While I was there to pick his brain, I’d soon find out that he has a knack for picking, too. One of Dollar’s endearing traits is that he’d prefer to find out more about you than talk about himself. All day, Dollar was asking more questions about me than I was asking about him. So much so, in fact, I had to send off an e-mail list of questions I forgot to ask while we were fishing to finish this piece, which certainly made me look like a bad reporter.

I found out quickly that Dollar is the kind of person I like to fish with. While I’ll never disparage fishing with my dad, he always had a frenetic energy about him that had us moving from spot to spot to spot, seemingly without reason. Dollar is a polar opposite. The day we went fishing, as we neared our target fishing spot, Dollar tuned in the fish finder, started marking fish and bait, and then yanked out his binoculars to take a peek around. There were birds on the horizon,

so we headed toward shore where blues, rockfish, and the occasional ‘greyhounding’ Spanish macks were blitzing on small Bay anchovies. Dollar didn’t slam the throttle down, start throwing gear everywhere, or hint at being stressed about making it to the fish in time.

Dollar gently glided the boat up to the school and as soon as they were there, they were gone again. About five minutes later, another breaking school showed up about a half-mile away from us. When we cruised up on the school, I tossed a crab-colored Clouser into the fray, and an over-achieving striper demolished the fly. “That’s a nice one you have there,” Dollar says. I reeled and reeled and the rod bent over heavy with this “huge” fish I’d hooked. Little did Dollar know, I was using a four-weight rod, so the 30-incher he thought I was fighting on a nine-weight was really a 20-inch, scrappy striper. I could tell Dollar was a little befuddled with my rod choice after he kindly netted the fish for me and took my picture with it. So in stealth, I put the four-weight away and strapped on a nine-weight for the rest of the adventure.

Dollar continued to patiently guide us back and forth to the breaking elevator fish (up, then down, up, then down) as he cast lures with his spinning tackle and I continued with fly patterns. The action finally got hot and frustrating around 4:30 p.m., so Dollar asked me to make the decision. “Let’s call it a day,” I said. We landed nine fish in total—mostly small blues—but managed a couple of nice keeper stripers, which we released, despite their up-and-down antics. The Spanish macks eluded us, jumping all around the boat as if to taunt our attempts at catching them. Dollar was patient, pleasant, and an all-around great person to fish with.

At the end of the day, we quietly glided into the slip at Wells Cove Marina as the sun started to redden and glide toward the horizon. Afterward, Dollar wouldn’t let me wash the boat, pay for fuel, or put away the gear; my only contribution for the day was a bag of sandwiches, chips, and drinks from the local convenience store. Once we’d packed all my fishing gear into my car, we headed over to The Jetty where he let me buy us a few well-deserved brews, and then headed our separate ways. Dollar made what could have been a mediocre fishing day enjoyable, just by being himself; that’s his charm. We’re proud to have him as part of the PropTalk team.

Mid-Atlantic $500,000 Tournament Sets Off Fireworks

It couldn’t have played out any better for organizers and anglers during the Mid-Atlantic $500,000. White marlin showed up in record numbers, and in a couple of

categories, the outcomes were decided in the final minutes of the last day.

When the boats were finally all tied off to the docks, a tournament record 558 white marlin were caught (almost all of which were released) by the 134 boats that participated in the five-day competition. In the event’s final moments, fortunes were won and lost. Minutes before the scales closed, Matt Kriedel docked his Newington, CT-based Impulse IV at the Canyon Club Resort Marina in Cape May, NJ, and weighed in a 177-pound big eye tuna to take the tuna category and its $168,812 purse. It was the last fish to be weighed at the tournament.

At around the same time down south at the other weigh station in Ocean City, MD, Anthony Matarese of Pennsville, NJ, aboard Reel Chaos added to the excitement by weighing in a 105-pound tuna to secure second place and earn $100,265. Don Pyle of Annapolis, MD, aboard Fin-Ness, rounded out the field in third place; his 84-pound yellowfin won him $78,893.

The white marlin category had its share of drama. Ocean City’s Steve Ramsey aboard Lady Luck V landed an 88-pound white marlin to tie Bill Zimmerman (also from Ocean City) aboard Billfisher, for the heaviest billfish. Zimmerman was the big money winner in the category since he entered all of the calcuttas, taking home $791,442 for the 88-pound white caught on day one. Lady Luck V received a healthy check for $298,514. Chris Shultz’s Cracker, based in Ovieda, FL, took third place with his 82-pound white marlin, also caught on day one.

Interestingly, there was no winner in the blue marlin category, a first in the tournament’s 19-year history. Several blue marlins were caught and released, yet the 400-pound minimum weight proved too tough to obtain. Ramsey and the crew of Lady Luck V came close by boating a 375-pound blue. They had to make a game-time decision, and because it was so close, they gaffed it and weighed it in.

The tournament’s total purse was worth $1.8 million, and the annual event is held out of Cape May and Ocean City. The fleet of 40 Ocean City boats took home $1.5 million in prize money.

Steve Ramsey of Ocean City, MD, and Keith Fraser of Annapolis were part of the team that tied for first place in the

white marlin division of the Mid-Atlantic $500,000. They earned $298,000 by landing an 88-pound white marlin.

End of Season Savings!

Summer Flounder Quota Increased

In August, the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council voted to increase the total allowable catch of summer flounder for 2011 to 33.95 million pounds. Flounder pounders, tackle shops, and fishing businesses along the Atlantic coast can breathe a little easier.The Recreational Fishing Alliance (RFA), which has aggressively lobbied for a new law to allow greater

flexibility in the rebuilding process, not surprisingly took a shot at the Pew Environment Group, its nemesis in the debate over rebuilding timetables.

In a press release, RFA executive director Jim Donofrio said that “Pew made it perfectly clear for everyone to understand, whether it takes 10 years or 13 years, if the goal is healthy fisheries, our fishing communities should not be forced to shut down when we can continue to access fisheries and rebuild stocks at the same time.”

In a separate press statement, Lee Crockett, director of federal fisheries policy for The Pew Environment Group, said, “Twenty years ago, the Mid-Atlantic summer flounder population dropped to less than 15 percent of sustainable levels, due to overfishing. Thanks to a strengthened rebuilding plan, this fish has bounced back and is almost fully restored to healthy levels.”

But RFA questioned Pew’s historical perspective: “The stocks were indeed collapsing in the late 80s, due to biological overfishing by the commercial fleet, but what those trawl fishermen quickly realized was that a larger net mesh size could allow the escape of smaller fish,” he said. “Real-time adjustments in the 90s and the very real threat of collapse definitely helped put summer flounder rebuilding on track, but giving all the credit to a rebuilding timeline is a bit disingenuous.” He added that if no deadline extension had been granted, “we would’ve had no fishery whatsoever at this point in the process; I’m sure of that.”

Regardless of the “inside baseball” machinations between Pew and RFA, rank-and-file anglers are encouraged that anecdotal accounts and survey data seem to indicate summer flounder stocks are on the upswing. Photo courtesy of Mid-Atlantic Fishery

prize money, the richest purse in that amateur tournament’s history. Yet, questions quickly arose as to Bahrami’s amateur status—MSSA tournament rules prohibit professional anglers from participating in the amateur division. Bahrami runs the offshore charter boat Reel Desire out of Ocean City, MD.

MSSA’s Tournament Committee held a meeting and subsequently ruled he was indeed a professional skipper and disqualified the win. Negotiations between the sides stalled and the case went to court. On August 9, Judge Pamela North of the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court agreed with MSSA’s decision, ruled Bahrami was a professional captain at the time of the tournament, and therefore ineligible to compete in the amateur division. She summarily dismissed his claim for the prize money.

“This was an unfortunate situation for both sides, but we could not have had a better resolution,” said Dave Smith, Executive Director of the MSSA, in a press release. “The MSSA rules are fair and strong, and the integrity of our tournament was upheld.” A call to Bahrami went unreturned. He has 30 days to appeal the court’s decision.

FISH FORECASTS by Capt. C. D. Dollar

F ishing with someone you don’t know too well is like casting into unfamiliar waters: you’re never sure of exactly what you’ll get. But usually you can tell straight away if they’re real fishermen or people who simply like to wear the costume. I’m not talking about possessing world-class skills or using the most expensive gear. I mean having a passion for the sport, healthy

respect for the fish, and an understanding that the allure of sport fishing is different for each of us. On a hazy late August afternoon, PropTalk’s editor, Gary Reich, joined me to try and trick a few rockfish, bluefish, and Span-

ish mackerel on fly and light tackle. And a few fish took our offerings—nine fish to be exact, mostly blues with a few legal rock in the mix. No macks were hooked, but they weren’t shy. These emerald-green bullets greyhounded around my 23-foot Jones Brothers center console, but only flipped us the fin. Sure it was frustrating, but Gary and I both recognized that’s part of fishing.

Though the fish schools that day displayed classic symptoms of “elevator fish syndrome”—up, down, up, down—we got a taste of what’s in store in coming weeks. I marked plenty of bait and gamefish, and as water temperatures cool, we ought to be treated to some of the best fishing of the year. As they do each month, PropTalk’s stable of top-flight fishermen share what they expect to catch, and where. Hard strikes!

B illy O’Brien and the crew at Shore Tackle & Custom Rods (Grasonville, MD) are coming off a summer of excellent bottom fishing. By early September, rock-fish should concentrate around the Poplar Island area. Hoards of schoolie strip-

ers, bluefish, and good-sized Spanish mackerel should break the surface in the mornings and evenings, chasing peanut bunker and Bay anchovies. Use your binoculars and look for the birds. Fish can usually be found from Love Point to Chesapeake Beach.

“Trolling metal spoons, surgical hoses, and small bucktails works well. Drone spoons ranging from size #3 to #0 (in varying color and flash patterns) pulled behind Inline Ol’ Salty planers, can produce good numbers of legal rockfish and decent Spanish mackerel catches before the macks head out,” O’Brien says. “Finding the schools is the name of the game, and to target the larger fish in the area—heavy, weighted surgical hoses in 12- and 16-inch lengths are the ticket,” O’Brien adds.

As fall settles in, casting and jigging over breaking fish are fun and not very difficult, making an opportune time to take the family along. Eastern Bay and Poplar Island down to Choptank River are good areas to try your luck. With rockfish and blues, and perhaps even a few lingering Spanish macks all chomping at the surface, use metal cast-ing jigs and topwater plugs. Bottom fishing for white perch, flounder, and some spot should remain solid, though croakers will be all but gone.

Capt. Jim Brincefield out of Virginia Beach, VA, says “early fall (mid-September to mid-October) marks

the time for many species like big cobia, spot, and croaker to move out of the Bay into ocean waters.”

“Cobia school up as they leave, providing casting opportunities for fish cruising along the surface,” Capt. Jim says. “Big red drums are still here in small pods, but most of the big black drum soon will be gone.”

Capt. Jim says, “Offshore billfishing will be spectacular, with plenty of marlin (mostly whites) and a few blue marlins mixed in.” Also expect some tuna, an occasional wahoo, and plenty of mahi-mahi. Black sea bass and triggerfish are also available along the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (CBBT) and the usual wrecks. Flounder action will only get better, as it has been a decent season so far. Capt. Jim adds that “bluefish should start schooling up along with small and medium rockfish.”

Capt. Jim Brincefieldcaptjim.com

Capt. Kevin Josenhans of Josenhans Fly Fishing is looking forward to skinny-water fishing, and it doesn’t

get any better than on Tangier Sound this time of year. “Fall brings the best skinny-water fishing on the Bay to Tangier Sound. Rockfish, speckled trout, and redfish swarm the shallow grass flats of Tangier Island as they fatten up for their fall migration,” Capt. Kevin says. “Light fly and spinning tackle and mild temperatures make this an enjoyable way to spend a cool fall day. Pretty much any bait thrown around a marsh point or grass bed will be gobbled up by one of these hard-fighting gamefish,” Capt. Kevin adds.

Capt. Kevin also says “September is absolutely the best time to catch flounder in Tangier Sound as they school up for the trip south. Casting Berkley Gulp! and Clouser deep minnows will attract some doormats. Concentrate on channel edges and rock structures where the flatties wait to ambush an easy meal.”

Full- and half-day trips are still avail-able, but October is filling fast. Capt. Kevin will be speaking on “Fly Fishing the Bay by Seasons” at the Potomac-Patuxent Chapter of Trout Unlimited on October 20; mark your calendar.

F rom the middle of September, Capt. Gary Neitzey of Fishhawk Guide Service (Eastern Bay) will chase

rockfish, bluefish, and any lingering Spanish macks from Rock Hall to the Choptank Riv-er. He favors Bass Kandy Delights (BKDs), Lil’ Jimmy bucktails, and jigging spoons.

Capt. Gary says “The best part of this style of fishing is when you can work a school of blitzing stripers and blues. Fly rodders will do well to cast poppers on floating lines or half-n-halfs or Clouser minnow patterns on a sinking line.”

In the early fall, Capt. Walt of Light Tackle Charters (Crisfield, MD) will guide his clients in pursuit of large

schools of striped bass as they migrate south past Smith and Tangier islands on their way to their wintering grounds in the Atlantic Ocean.

“It’s an excellent time to take a couple of fish for the table and allow 50 or more oth-ers to just stretch your line before releasing them,” Capt. Walt says. “Early fall is also a great time to take kids along, since the action is so heavy, they’ll have no problem staying interested in the fishing,” Capt. Walt adds.

Capt. Randy Dean of the Bay Hunter says, “September and October are the time to get the

trolling rods ready. We will be setting up our trolling rods with small, double-bucktails (three-ounce and one and one half-ounce) tipped with three-inch twister tails or shads. Get them deep to get to the bigger fish!” Capt. Randy adds, “Our spinning tackle is rigged with three-ounce Bomber and Stingsil-ver baits for jigging. Poplar Island, the False Channel, and anywhere in the Choptank River are always good places to look for birds and feeding fish in September and October.”

Capt. Mark Galasso of Tuna the Tide Charters is looking forward to water temperatures

cooling down, and he thinks that there will be plenty of fish around. “Spanish macks and blues should linger,” Capt. Mark says. “Rockfish and perch should start showing in more open water chas-ing Bay anchovies and peanut bunker. Look for birds working the feeding frenzies, and you’ll find the fish,” Capt. Mark adds. He expects that jigging, trolling, and casting in the shallows should all pick up this month.

Capt. Jeff Popp will spend September and October fishing the Upper Bay by trolling with

live eels, wire line, or double-rigged bucktails. Capt. Jeff says he “will also concentrate on jigging over breaking blues and rockfish and working the contours from Pooles Island to Mata-peake.” Capt. Jeff adds, “I’ll also target rockfish holding on the lumps of Bel-vedere Shoals, Seven-Foot-Knoll, and Hodges Bar, which can also produce some fat white perch. In low light, I’ll guide my customers from Love Point to Hackett’s Point for skinny water casting along the shoreline.”

It’s ElectricThis June, Annapolis Hybrid Marine (AHM) became the U.S. distributor for Thoosa electric propulsion systems. Sally Reuther—AHM’s owner and CEO—says, “We have signed Pacific North West Electric Boats as the first dealer and are working with several other companies in key boating areas as potential new dealers.” The Thoosa system is designed to be a clean, quiet alternative to conventional inboard gas or diesel engines in trawlers and motor launches. It can operate on batteries alone. For more range in cruising situations, it can incorporate a direct current diesel generator, or wind and solar energy. annapolishybridmarine.com

Year Round

Operation100+Slips

by Ruth Christie

H urricane Isabel was the costliest and deadliest hurricane in the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season.

The powerful storm surge, strong winds, and excessive rain resulted in $3.6 billion in damage and 51 deaths.

Conditions before the storm hit didn’t help. Because of the drought the previous year and abundant snow and rainfall that year, the ground could not absorb all of the water, and excess water was already flowing into the Bay from its many tributaries. At the same time, Isabel formed in the tropi-cal Atlantic Ocean and moved northwest-ward and steadily strengthened to reach peak winds of 165 mph on September 11. The storm made landfall on North Caro-lina’s Outer Banks with 105-mph winds on September 18.

The hurricane’s swirling winds and low pressure within the eye created a bulge of water, the storm surge. Even though Isabel’s center of circulation passed well to the west of the Bay, the wind flow and the Bay’s unique narrow channel allowed more water to funnel up it. The high water surge began moving in with the high tide after 1 a.m. on September 19, which made for a dangerous storm tide.

Isabel “Got Medieval” on the Bay

Virginia saw the worst of Isabel’s fury, especially in Hampton Roads and along the shores of rivers all the way to Rich-mond and Washington, DC. Wind, waves, and the storm tide inundated areas along the coast and resulted in severe beach erosion. In Virginia alone, winds from the hurricane destroyed more than 1000 houses and damaged 9000 more.

The up to nine-foot swell piled onto Maryland’s western shore. In a single day, that area lost about 20 acres of land to erosion; that’s 158,800 metric tons of sediment! In eastern Maryland, the storm tide flooded hundreds of buildings. The most severe flooding occurred in the southern portions of Dorchester County and Somerset County and on Kent Island. Thousands of houses were affected in central Maryland, with severe storm surge flooding reported in Baltimore and An-napolis. Unlike open ocean coastlines, the Bay’s shoreline does not recover well from having trees uprooted, beaches rearranged, and land damaged.

Roughly six million people lost electric-ity in the eastern United States. Parts of coastal Virginia were without electricity for almost a month. Airports, train service,

schools, and businesses along the East Coast closed. The U.S. Navy removed 40 ships and submarines and dozens of aircraft from naval sites near Norfolk, VA.

On the night the hurricane’s effects reached our area just south of Annapolis, my husband and I woke at 3 a.m. to find a creepy kind of quiet. No wind, no lapping waters, nothing, just darkness and a big black body of water that was way too high. My husband and I stood outside shining our flashlights at the water quietly insinuating itself over our stone steps and gardens that lead down to the dock. I silently willed the creeping water to stop rising before it could reach our foundation; luckily, it did.

The next day, Jim took a boat hook and walked down the submerged dock to check our boat lines. The worst part, he said, was poking around with the hook and finding nothing where a plank should be; two or three of them had simply floated away. It took a while for our neighborhood to clean up after the flooding. We got used to the hum of generators and buzz of chainsaws.

Thankfully, the name “Isabel” was retired and will not be used for future hurricanes. And, luckily, storms like Isabel come around once a century, or even less often than that.

What’s so disturb-ing about this pho-to, in addition to the height of the water above the docks, are the electrical cords dangling in and above the wa-ter nearby. Photo by Joe Della Barba


Chesapeake Classic

Ask the Experts...

“How can I best achievefuel efficiencies?”

“It is estimated that Antifouling Coatings provide approximately $30bn in fuel savings perannum. By selecting and specifying a bottom paint that offers optimal results you achievethree things:

� Improved speed and/or maintained speed at less power� Reduction in fuel emissions and their impact on the environment� Performance longevity

We recommend you consider the AHR (Average Hull Roughness) when assessing bottompaints and their attributes. An increase in underwater hull roughness will increase the frictionalresistance (or drag). With additional drag you will need additional power – and more fuel – tomaintain speed.

A traditional hard or ablative paint will increase in surface roughness over time, approximately1.5 – 2 mils per year, which can lead to fuel penalties of 5 – 10%. By selecting superiorproducts such as the Micron Technology and in particular a true, Self Polishing Copolymer(SPC) like Micron® 66® – that has a polishing and smoothing action, the increase in roughnesswill be significantly less. This is why Micron 66 is preferred by many of the world’s greatestSuperyachts, Sportfish yachts and production lines.

In addition, you have a choice in considering advanced technology options such asIntersleek 900 Fluoropolymer coating. It’s a biocide-free hull coating with exceptional lowAHR values, hence it further reduces the carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide emissions into theair. A smooth, clean bottom paint system equals great boating efficiencies and reduced impacton the environment.

If you’re already using Interlux bottom paints, we thank you. You have made a responsibledecision. Please contact us today should you look for opportunities to further improve boatingefficiencies”.
