Letters Yarranton tale recalls memories

How does the lab Tucker know?

Saw this article (above, entitled “Seafaring Dog Follows an Elusive Whale Tale: Tucker, Lab with Keen Nose, Aids Scientists”) on Tucker, a black lab, who uses his sense of smell to assist scientists in the July 30 “Wall Street Journal” and thought of Puggy (“How Did Puggy Know” by Andrew T. Osborne, August 2014).

I’ve attached a PDF of the article – two pages. Perhaps you could forward it on to Andrew. Puggy may have a new career ahead of him.

Marilyn Brigham s/v Toujours Quissett, Mass.

Andy responds: The fishing trips with Puggy took place over 50 years ago. She was my cousin’s husband’s dog before they were a couple, and when my cousin came into the picture, Puggy took an immediate and total dislike to her because she thought the husband was hers and hers alone.

She eventually tolerated my cousin, but never really accepted her, singling out “that woman’s” things for damage or defilement. Cousin said Puggy gave her dirty looks, and that having her around was like sharing her husband with a very resentful ex-wife.

Where we are [Duxbury and Plymouth, Mass., bays] is clam flats at low tide – really mucky sticky mud. On hot days, Puggy would go to the mud and dig a hole and lie in it to cool off, wallowing about and rolling like a fat hippo. Later, she'd find my cousin – always and only her -- to shake off on.

My cousin’s husband was heartbroken when Puggy died; my cousin was not.

www.pointseast.com

I enjoyed the July article by the Yarrantons (“Destination: The Grandkids”) about their trip to Nova Scotia. It reminded me of the last Points East Fundy Flotilla we shared with them. We remember Loquat as well as Art and Bobbie. Shelburne, Carter’s Beach, Lunenburg, and the coastal fog were all parts of that Flotilla, as were one hurricane and one tropical storm.

We have sold Firstar, but I want to tell you that the Points East Fundy Flotillas were the high points of the 15 years we had them. It is a shame they are no longer available to stretch cruisers horizons.

I would appreciate it if you could tell Flotilla organizer Bernie Wideman how much his efforts meant to us. Until this year, John O’Keefe, Tom Bullock, Andy Berry and I kept them going from Camden to Northeast Harbor and points in between.

Mike Steffenson Davenport, Iowa Bernie responds: It was a pleasure to share adventures Downeast and in the Maritimes with Mike and Jean and the many other cruisers who joined the flotillas over the years. Whether in powerboats or sailboats, big boats or small boats, they all came for the chance to know other shores and peoples, and enjoy the camaraderie of the flotillas.

Hands on deck for climate action Film legend Robert Redford – whose stripped-down solo film about a lone sailor forced to draw on the deepest resources of body and soul to save himself when he loses his boat in the Indian Ocean (the closing scene leaves the outcome to your imagination) - must have had the climate crisis in mind when he decided to make this film. Nothing brings us up harder than hitting the bricks of our own mortality.

Who knew that the Sundance Kid, at 77, is a sailor competent enough to pull off this hair-raising film – without so much a single stunt man?

Millions recognize Redford as the iconic actor/director and founder of the Sundance Film Festival. Others know him as a passionate environmentalist and member of the board of directors of the Natural Resources Defense Council who blogs about climate change for “The Huffington Post,” where he recently wrote of our searing need for “True patriotism and an end to gridlock.” It’s time for us sailors and everyone else to fearlessly face up to the imperatives of the climate disruption we have brought upon ourselves.

Points East September 2014

“When it comes to huge challenges we’ve faced as a nation, we have a rich and storied history of aspirational spirit and belief in what we, together, can accomplish,” Redford reminds, advising that we ignore the “No we can’t” scenarios coming out of Washington and the controlled corporate media as the worst kind of disempowering bilge.

Whether Redford will be on deck for the huge People’s Climate March in New York City on Sept. 21, I cannot say, but this is an invitation to every sailor on the planet.

“To change everything, it takes everyone,” as 350.org, the massive global climate movement, says in its video on You Tube and its website.

The equinoctial gathering, expected to be the largest ever for climate action on the planet, will surround a landmark climate summit of world leaders at the United Nations. Please come, Bob; come on every Opti, Sunfish, Laser, Snipe, Star, Soling, Hobie, 470, Lightning, Swan, J-boat and maxi sailor out there. If we don’t get this one right, nothing else will matter, and all will very likely be lost.

Sailors are science-minded. I don’t have to cite the lengthy list of disruptions to weather, sea level, ocean currents and ocean PH we’re already experiencing, nor the speed with which this is happening. Sept. 21 is an all-hands-on-deck moment for sailors if there’s ever been one. There are many ways to be part of it.

There’s a shipshape organization at www.350.org filled with information. The emerging plan is to rally in New York Harbor, as close to the UN as possible, in a show of force and support for urgent U.S. and global action. Make banners. Fly flags. Make noise. For info go to www.350.org.

I’m assembling a story about the current effects of climate change in the Atlantic islands, from the Canaries to the Azores, touching base with Paul Majew-

10 Points East September 2014

ski, head of U of Maine’s Climate Change Institute and a sailor for data. The loss of old reliable Azores High is one effect. Massive storms out of season are another.

Those who know need to be writing about the need to prepare boats and crews for ever-more severe conditions in the North Atlantic.

I’ll bet my 1980 OSTAR sweater there’ll be a big fleet of people on boats. A quick update: The People’s Climate March is looking like 250,000 participants now, and rising fast and getting well organized. No one will be surprised if it tops a million. If anyone out there might have a berth for this ocean sailor flying to New York City for the event, please email Judith Lawson at jwzcls@gmail.com.

Brave New World. Cheers.

Judy Lawson Ponta Delgada, Azores Editor’s note: Judy Lawson is America’s first woman solo ocean racer. In the l980 OSTAR (Observer Singlehanded Trans-Atlantic Race), she was dismasted off Newfoundland. Before that, she raced for Georgetown University, then in the 505, International 14 and Laser classes, multiple SORC, Bermuda and Annapolis-Newport races, and twice the Bermuda One/Two out of Newport. She was for many years a yachting journalist for newspapers and magazines in several countries. She is now out cruising the world on different boats.

‘Fire Sail’ review is bittersweet Thank you, Sandy Marsters, for your time in reviewing my e-book, “Fire Sail: Part 1” (Media, August 2014). My wife and I appreciate the exposure. We can use all the help we can get.

I only wish I had known in advance that you were doing the review, so that I could have explained that my di-

editor@pointseast.com

alog, written in nonfiction, narrative form, was based on my copious notes, logs and 14 years of repeating these stories to the thousands of our charter guests following the completion of our adventure.

Interestingly, the feedback from readers has been positive regarding the dialogue, in that the readers have “... felt like we were there with you and your family.…”

If you ever get the urge to be masochistic, you might consider punishing yourself with “Fire Sail: Part 2,” now also available through all major e-book distributors.

Again, I wish I had been able to correspond with you earlier because smashwords.com, the only source you knew of at the time of your review, is mainly for computer downloading – not nearly the contributor to sales that Kindle, Nook and iBooks have been.

Roger and Laurie Marin Via email Sandy Replies: Thank you for your letter, and congratulations on the publication of Part 2 of your adventure.

If I had been your editor, I would have said that much of the dialogue was wooden and added nothing to the core story, which is a great tale. And I would have said that prior to publication. But I’m not your editor, just a book reviewer, so I said it after publication, when the book was brought to my attention by a colleague.

I take your point about copious notes and logs, and bless

you for that. As for telling the story over and over to charter guests, I can only guess that, in the Homeric tradition, the story may have sprouted new limbs as time went on.

Every little bit helps. Thanks, Don! Please renew my subscription. I belong to HRBC and could get your fine mag FOC, but I want to make sure you have the $ to stay in operation!

Perspectives Floating in Aphorisms ’ve always loved aphorisms, especially ones about boats and the sea. I learned what an aphorism was at about age 20, back in college when I walked around thinking I was a writer like Hemingway.

The truth was I couldn’t write well at all; I just didn’t know that at the time. I didn’t know that until I submitted my “major, new short story” to Kate Basham, my esteemed writing professor. Would she kindly take a look at it? I asked her nervously. She nodded: “Just slide it under my office door.”

And so I carefully typed it up (yes, “typed” – this was 1972). I put it in one of those made-tolook-like-leather vinyl report folders that had a gold stripe down the side and brought it to her, carefully sliding my gold-rimmed offering under the writing queen’s door.

It took a while to get a follow-up meeting, but when the time came, I sat on a plastic chair and waited patiently

behind a stack of paper piled high on her desk, while Kate rapidly red-lined some poor writing student’s no doubt atrocious paper. Finally, she looked up, pushed her round-rimmed glasses up on her nose, and said, “Ah, David, right?”

“Yes, ‘The Voyaging Sailor,’” I replied.

She looked askance. “My story?” I continued. “’The Voyaging Sailor?’ Oh, yes,” she said, and reached for the brown, fake-leather folder and opened it. I could see what lay within; my work had been washed over by a sea of red ink.

She looked at me sternly, the way one looks at an incorrigible child. “Why would you write in the passive voice, with stilted dialog, and misplaced modifiers, and an omniscient narrator when in fact….?”

Well, you get the idea. I was speechless. Totally deflated. Finally, with a weak half-smile, I began a very slight rally. “Gee, was there anything you liked about it?”

The writing queen exhaled. She’d seen too many 20-

Hey, Professor Basham, not bad, huh?

I’ve loved seagoing aphorisms ever since. So here are a few of my favorites, written by real writers: If a man must be obsessed with something, I suppose a boat is as good as anything, perhaps a bit better than most.

A small sailing craft is not only beautiful, it is seductive and full of promise and the hint of trouble. If it happens to be an auxiliary cruising boat, it is without question the most compact and ingenious arrangement for living ever devised by the restless mind of man. –E.B.White Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. –Kenneth Grahame

The sea finds out everything you did wrong. –Francis Stokes I really don’t know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except that I think it’s because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it’s because we all came from the sea.

a.m. to 6:40 p.m. When the bridge opened, 20 or more boats, all flying the same burgee, filed through headed downstream. Boats with the current behind them go first. When the boat club was clear, m/v Nauset, our Nauset 28; the large trawler responsible for our being there; and a third boat headed upstream to the museum.

A museum docking attendant directed us to our spot, helped us tie up, and then walked to the dock office with us. After checking in, we collected some literature at the visitor center and tried to do dinner at Latitude 41, the museum restaurant. The mob at Latitude 41’s door indicated that we had little hope of eating any time in the near term, so we took a long walk through Mystic Village – a walk that ended with dinner at the S & P Oyster Company, on the river side, at the east end of the bascule bridge.

Early Sunday morning, before the Seaport’s 9 a.m. opening, we could walk the grounds and study some of the historic vessels. When the gates opened at 9 a.m., what seemed like 7,391 families – each with a full ration of 6- to 12-year-old pirate wannabes – started surging in and charging from exhibit to exhibit, ship to ship. On a long holiday weekend, that was inevitable. The Seaport Museum is the most frequently visited tourist destination in Connecticut.

Later in the afternoon, when the crowd thinned and their decks were mostly clear of kids – some playing

pirate and yelling, “Arrrgh!” – we boarded the ironhulled, full-rigged ship (square sails on all three masts) Joseph Conrad and the old wooden whaling bark (square sails on the fore and mainmast, but not the mizzen) Charles W. Morgan.

The Joseph Conrad, ex Georg Stage, was built in Denmark in 1882 as a merchant-marine training vessel and spent her working life training deck officers and seaman for the Danish merchant marine. She was purchased in 1934 by Capt. Allen Villiers, re-named Joseph Conrad – in honor of the noted marine writer and sailing ship captain – and then sailed around the world with a crew of teenage boys. For more about the Joseph Conrad, see “Cruise of the Conrad” by Allen Villiers (Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York, 1937) and frequently reprinted.

The whaling bark Charles W. Morgan, built at the Hillman Brothers Shipyard in New Bedford, Mass., and originally ship-rigged, was launched in July 1841 and departed New Bedford outbound on her first whaling voyage, on Sept. 6, 1841. On May 28, 1921, her 37th and final whaling voyage ended in Provincetown, Mass.

The final voyage was relatively successful – 2,702 barrels of oil. But the Morgan was a relic 50 years past her time. In 1859, at Titusville, Penn., Col. Edwin L. Drake drilled what was probably the world’s first deliberately drilled commercial oil well and the modern

Monday, up too early as usual (the Navy will do that to you), I made a pot of coffee and carried my mug ashore. It was not yet sunrise, absolutely calm, and

warm for early morning that far north. Thick fog blanketed the river, and the seaport blotting out the 21st century. I walked down to the Charles W. Morgan and stood on the dock, looking at the bow in the thin light from the antique street lanterns. The security guard came by, stopped and stood beside me for several minutes, just looking, too. Then he said I could go aboard if I wanted to.

editor@pointseast.com

Once aboard, I walked slowly aft to the wheel and stood looking along the deck and up at the fog shrouded rigging, the foremast’s lower yards barely visible. From the wheel, I went forward to the try-pots – the pair of large kettles in which slabs of whale blubber were boiled to extract the oil – and then down into the foc’sle.

Standing alone in the dim foc’sle – the only person aboard, the only sound the muffled creaking of the old wooden hull – I had the strangest feeling, a very strong feeling, that the gate between the past and the present was ajar and that I was not alone. I could sense – almost see – some of the half-a-hundred, or more, whaling men who died at sea during the Morgan’s long working life. Maybe a few spirits linger still in that foc’sle.

We remained tied to the museum’s quay until our time was up, and a bit longer, so I could spend more time on the Morgan, the Conrad and the Banks Schooner L. A. Dunton; visit the other vessels that were open for boarding; and spend money in the museums outstanding nautical book and gift store.

The Mystic Seaport Museum’s docks are open yearround and can accommodate 40 or more visiting vessels (depending on length and willingness to raft).

The Dock Office is fully operational, and dock attendants are on duty May 1 to the end of October, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The dock office monitors VHF Channel 68.

For up-to-date dockage information, visit www.mysticseaport.org and download “The 2014 Boaters Guide to Mystic Seaport.”

The museum is a popular cruising destination, so, if you plan to visit, particularly between July 1 and Labor Day, make reservations. Overnight dockage includes museum passes, and boat visitors can walk the museum’s grounds before the day-trippers arrive and after they leave. A night or two on the docks in the Mystic Seaport Museum is something no one will ever forget.

A professional cartographer, Bill’s lifelong infatuation with the sea, ships and boats began in 1961 when, at 17, he went to sea on a square-rigged Norwegian school ship. He met his wife Betty – an aerospace engineer, mathematician, pilot and experienced sailor – in a sailing club in Annapolis in 1993. A year later, they left the Chesapeake on what was supposed to be a one-year, round-trip cruise, south to the Florida Keys, over to the Bahamas and back to the bay. They never returned to their former lives. They spend half the year cruising the East and Gulf coasts and the Bahamas aboard their Nauset 28, Nauset, their retirement cruising boat.

Snowbird survival guide ow long were you on your trip from Maine to the Keys and back?” they ask when we discuss our recent trip on our Eastbay 40 trawler. “Nine and a half months,” we reply, and everyone is astounded we lived on the boat for so long and are still married. But it’s the creature comforts that make the trip a positive adventure.

The biggest change we made – aside from the usual marine tasks like hauling and painting, engine work, and stocking the boat – was taking out the old refrigerator that should have gone to college with our daughter. It was one of those dorm refrigerators that rested on the floor of the galley, which required yoga moves in order to access the insides, much less the freezer. Eastbay 40s already have a freezer, so when I saw a set of refrigerator drawers in a Sabre at the Newport Boat Show, I said, “That’s for me.”

Back we went to the boatyard, and we made the change over to a two-drawer refrigerator that fit perfectly into the hole where the refrigerator had been.

Of course, the little ice-cube freezer had to go, but we’d already installed a Sea Frost icemaker in the freezer and were set. Some boats now come with ice-

“H

cube makers, so that issue may already be solved. But the drawers provided twice the storage space, and – perfect – no bending over upside-down was required to get into it. Neither of us can imagine making that trip without them.

A major consideration is entertainment for the troops – in this case, just the two of us. What were we going to do when it rained, and it did, or when we weren’t tramping around some historical site? Reading always comes to mind, and a Kindle or other digital reading device was perfect. Of course, you have to have an account with Amazon or some other provider, but I found it was so easy to download what I wanted for a nominal fee and start reading. In this way, we didn’t have books stored all over the place where we had to dig down to find them. But books are nice to leave or swap at different marinas as you travel.

But what about the Super Bowl? How were we going to solve that one? We are also fans of Turner Classic Movies when nothing else is going on, so we installed a satellite receiver and paid Direct TV $5 extra per month for the service (we already have Di-

rect TV). In addition to a monitor in the saloon, we had a repeater in the forward stateroom, which enabled us, on cold, rainy nights, to go to the Bijou.

This was one of the greatest additions to our trip.

So when the Super Bowl arrived, we were in Marathon, Fla. (halfway down the Florida Keys), with no place to watch the game because our marina’s bar had closed, we were good to go, with excellent reception, with our Track Vision receiver.

What satellite TV doesn’t have, though, are local channels, which are great for getting local weather and news. During the tornadoes we encountered in North Carolina, the local TV gave us up-to-date weather and warnings of the approaching storms, which was reassuring. To access local channels, Bob installed an external antenna, which worked great for local channels. Plus it was nice to see “Good Morning America” once in awhile A Verizon air card made Internet access a breeze, although a little expensive. Almost every marina has WiFi, but you can’t always depend on them, and some of them charge for access. I had an email list on which I posted news and pictures of where we were, and had been, and I received email from everyone as well.

Having contact with those at home really makes things go well, especially the grandchildren.

When not playing with all of our new toys we had installed on the boat, we took advantage of every garden and historical site we came across. Using downtown marinas – like Fort Myers, Annapolis and Baltimore – made access to local sites very easy by local bus. In Baltimore, we hopped a train for Washington and toured some of the Smithsonian.

Baltimore itself has a lot of downtown attractions like the aquarium, outdoor eating areas, and plenty of restaurants. Annapolis by bus tour was great, and with their free moorings out in front of the Naval

Academy, we were right in the middle of everything.

Fort Myers was great for downtown accessibility and should not be missed. They are revitalizing their downtown, and there were weekend festivals, art galleries, the Red Sox, bead stores, car shows, and a great donut shop.

Yes, we were in constant search of the best ice cream and bakery in every location. The bakery winner was Kudzu Bakery in Georgetown, S.C., but the donut shop in Fort Myers was a very close second. Ice cream? Well, that’s another story as there were too many to rate.

When it was time to go to separate corners and do your own thing, I brought out my watercolors and painted. This was difficult in some respects because you want to leave your stuff out and go back to it later. But when Skipper Bob would give me that “Is this stuff going to stay out on the table forever?” look, I knew it was time to go for the needlepoint. Of course, he was constantly working on the computer, keeping up with the bills and the mail we had sent to us from home every month.

So that’s how we survived nine months on a 40-foot boat. And while it is not required, great traveling companions made the trip great. Of course, the question is always, how much did it cost? After some spreadsheet calculations, taking in the moon and star rotations, wind directions, and sea states, we spent, with all due considerations, about $20,000. But it was worth it.

News Strange, finally completed cruise of FIPOFIX

By Bob Muggleston For Points East On July 2, one of the stranger small-boat journeys in recent memory ended when Austrian extreme sailor Harald Sedlacek reached his destination of Les Sables d’Olonne in the 16-foot FIPOFIX, a boat that was designed as a Volvo Open 60 in miniature.

This completed the loop begun roughly eight months earlier by Sedlacek’s father, Norbert, who envisioned the unassisted double-crossing as both the ultimate test of a solo sailor – and a great way to market a new composite material called FIPOFIX. This material is described in the literature of Kapsch, the company that owns the patent to it, as “the gentle processing of fiber rovings, developed specially for the Photo courtesy Team FIPOFIX processing of mineral volcanic fibers.”

FIPOFIX, the boat, was built from these Was it a notable small-boat voyage, or merely the end of yet another PR volcanic fibers, and it was hoped that two stunt? Harald Sedlacek waves to the press aboard FIPOFIX, his Open 16.

Annual NARC Rally departs on Nov. 1 The 15th Annual North American Rally to the Caribbean (NARC) departs from Newport, R.I., on Nov. 1 (or best weather window near that date.) First held in 2000, the “NARC Rally” is restricted to boats that are capable of getting to Bermuda in four or five days and are crewed by experienced sailors who have made the passage before.

The event is free, and supports the annual migration of boats heading south from the U.S. East Coast, encouraging them to join together for socials, discounts and safety of traveling in a group.

“The NARC Rally is geared more

towards larger, professionally crewed boats with experienced skippers,” said Hank Schmitt, the NARC’s organizer who is CEO of Offshore Passage Opportunities (OPO).“However, experienced private boats owners/crews are welcome to join as well, and for smaller boats and less experienced skippers/crews, we encourage them to join the Salty Dawg Rally, departing from Hampton Roads, Va., Nov. 4.

Schmitt added that all seaworthy boats should begin gathering in Newport the last week in October (no later than Thursday, Oct. 30 for a party and skippers’ meeting the next evening) and stay at the Newport Yachting Center, which offers discounted dockage to rally participants.

In Bermuda, the fleet will be hosted by the St. Georges Dinghy & Sports Club, which also discounts dockage and hosts a fish fry for participants.

The IGY Marina Group is sponsoring the rally finish

The Coast Guard rescued 27 passengers and crew aboard a disabled vessel Friday, Aug. 1, in the Piscataqua River, in Portsmouth, N.H. Coast Guard Sector Northern New England received a report at 3:05 p.m. Friday that the tour vessel Celia Thaxter, run by the Isles of Shoals Steamship Company, had become disabled and was being pushed against the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge by the current.

Multiple Coast Guard and New Hampshire Marine Patrol responders rushed to the scene. A Coast Guard Station Portsmouth Harbor 25-foot response boat crew and a New Hampshire Marine Patrol boat crew arrived on scene at 3:10 p.m. and safely evacuated all 24 passengers and two crewmembers to a nearby pier where EMS awaited.

The vessel’s master remained aboard while a Station Portsmouth Harbor 47-foot motor lifeboat crew towed the Celia Thaxter to its homeport dock in Portsmouth. There were no injuries reported. The cause of the incident is under investigation.

At the very least Harald, the son, accomplished something great. He sailed a tiny boat over 8,000 Atlantic Ocean miles, many of them while sitting in an open cockpit, hand-steering. In a way, the slickness of the boat’s campaign and design, and its fancy, supposedly indestructible new material were his undoing. Because his small-boat experience on the ocean was, in many ways, no different than any of those who have gone before him, in much lesser craft.

During the east-to-west crossing, Sedlacek spent much of his time in the open cockpit of his 16-footer, hand-steering because of electrical failure.

Wayward Beluga whale spotted in Taunton River On the evening of June 24, shocked onlookers saw a beluga whale swim by them in the Taunton River in Fall River, Mass. The beluga is a protected whale that usually prefers waters with icebergs – over 1,000 miles away. After the whale became the topic of multiple social media posts, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), using a helicopter and a boat, went to find the beluga. “We tracked it underneath the highway, documented it in Battleship Cove, and it swam underneath the U.S.S. Massachusetts,” said Brian Sharp, the Marine Mammal Rescue and Research manager at IFAW. Several days later, a healthy beluga, thought to weigh about 2,000 pounds, was confirmed in Gloucester Harbor.

The IFAW is trying to match photos to determine if it’s the same whale.

Though rare, belugas have appeared in Massachusetts’ waters over the past 10 years.

come Downeast and experience how many good things happen. Yes, the bad stuff can at times be daunting, but the good stuff makes your vacation great.

One day out of Rockland, we lose Merlot from our group. An oil pan full of anti-freeze has her engineless and short-tacking from Camp Island up to Billings Diesel & Marine in Stonington.

Normally, this is not a big deal for Merlot’s crew, except this is Sunday morning and it is the Stonington Lobster Boat Races.

Fortunately for Bjorn and Laurel, they made it to Billings just before the official starting time and somehow manage to ignore all of the encouraging comments along the way. For the purposes of this article I will call this Bad Thing No. One. Skiya and Shona sail on to Frenchboro, on Long Island, for our official kickoff lobster dinner at Lunt’s. www.pointseast.com

Over the years, this has become a tradition at the start of all our cruises. As we enter the harbor, we find Amber Sea already there. They have done an overnight sail from Portsmouth, N.H., to join us. Dinner that evening is the best lobster ever. The only problem is, I break a tooth during dinner. I guess this is Bad Thing No. Two. Day Three has us leaving Frenchboro for Jonesport, Maine. Our original destination was Mistake Harbor, but a questionable weather forecast sends us into Jonesport and the Jonesport Shipyard for moorings. We contact Patricia at the Photo by Rick Fleming shipyard, and she finds the last three moorings in the harbor for us. This is especially good as we will spend the next three days sitting in Jonesport, waiting for the wind and rain to stop. The moorings are Good Thing No. One.

The cruising guide said to look for the large yellow mooring balls as you enter the harbor. These are provided by the town to visiting boats at no charge. We find three open moorings with no trouble at all, and collect ourselves for a trip into the dock to clear customs. Grand Manan does not have a “customs phone” at the dock, and none of our cell phones “work” here.

This could have been a problem had it not been for one of the locals, who offered us the use of his cell phone.

The next day, five of us decide to tour the island.

Marty and I are elected to find a car we can rent and report back to the group. We quickly find out from Karen, who works on one of the whale-watch tours, that there are no rental cars on the island. But that’s OK because she has a friend who will let us use her car for the day. How nice is this?! Good Thing No. Four.

gether at the end of the only dock that could possibly have worked, and Amber Sea is directed to a side dock that accommodated her shallow draft. Good Thing No. Five.

We meet Harold, the harbormaster/Digby fireman.

Harold gave his blessing to our dockage arrangements, and then did everything he could to make our time in Digby enjoyable. Here in Digby, we found all the fresh fish and scallops we could eat. There is an abundance of restaurants and we had fun exploring around town.

On the third Digby morning, we said goodbye to Shona. Rick and Seamus needed to head back for Seamus’s grandmother’s 100th birthday party. They did the run down on a perfectly glassy ocean, and were back in Rockland three days later.

Skiya and Amber Sea departed that same morning for a 50-mile run across the Bay of Fundy to New Brunswick’s Bliss Island. Here we expect to find Merlot. Her engine has been repaired, and we are anticipating a happy reunion. A few miles out of Bliss I hear Merlot calling on the VHF. They are already in St. Andrews and will connect with us the next day. So it’s a quiet night at anchor in Bliss Island harbor, and then on to St. Andrews in the morning.

Bliss to St. Andrews is just 10 miles, and the tide is perfectly timed to carry us through the Letete Passage. It is great to see Merlot as we enter the harbor.

propriate moorings. All is right with our world.

St. Andrews is a very busy seaside resort, with all of the restaurants and shops that one would expect in such a setting. Since our last trip to St. Andrews, the docks have seen many improvements, including showers. Previous to this, we had to walk a mile to the local campground for showers. Also new to us are the floating docks on the front of the pier. If you time it for when the whale-watch boats are out, you can now easily go in and tie up for water.

On Day Two in St. Andrews, we all go to the Kingsbrae Garden. It’s a short walk up from the harbor, and the gardens are extensive and beautifully done. Even a sailor guy like me could appreciate them. We also took advantage of their garden-side restaurant for lunch.

Two days in St. Andrews pass very quickly, and it is now time to make our way 10 miles to Eastport. Eastport is where we will clear U.S. Customs and spend the night. The town of Eastport has two large floating docks for visiting boats. We have been here twice and have never been charged for dockage.

Eastport is a perfect stop – shops and restaurants to fit most everyone’s taste. While most of our group is going through the galleries and shops, I set out in search of some diesel. It’s raining out, and I am once again in dripping raingear carrying a five-gallon, yellow fuel jug walking down the main street in town. The first person I ask for the location of a gas station offers to drive me there. As I put my wet body in his car, I’m not sure I would have been as welcoming. But this is typical of the kindness and generosity we have experienced for the entire cruise. This would make Good 34 Points East September 2014

Thing No. Six if I were still counting.

The next day we leave for Mistake Island. Another 45-mile trip if all goes well. The wind fills in as we round Campobello, and the three sailboats turn off their engines and we are sailing. The current is with us, and we are seeing nine-plus knots over the bottom.

As we pass Cutler, the wind goes light, and it is time to go back to the engines. The only problem is, Merlot is not putting any water out the exhaust.

After a quick check it is decided that they will sail into Cutler to figure out the fix. Skiya and Amber Sea continue to Roque Island and will be available to run parts from Jonesport to Cutler if needed. This was Bad Thing No. Three.

The next morning we hear Laurel on the VHF reporting that they are on their way to Northest Harbor.

Great news, and we are on our way out of Roque a short time later. The three boats connect in Northeast Harbor for a two-day stay and a final farewell dinner on Skiya, as this is technically the end of our cruise.

Wally and Sandra depart for Rockland, and we spend one more day in Northeast Harbor, waiting for the rain to stop.

In the end, the sun does shine again, everyone makes it back to Rockland safely, and we complete another trip to Canada. Did some bad things happen along the way? Sure they did, but they were more than offset by all of the good things that we experienced.

This is cruising and we love it.

changed the filter again, and then monitored the situation until we finally got through the cut into St. George’s to regroup, repair, and plan the next leg of the passage.

The repair list was longer than we liked. We had ordered a new ignition switch, via satellite phone, from the U.S. on Day Three and expected to be able to pick it up at the Bermuda Yachting Center in St. George’s once we cleared customs.

It was also possible to troubleshoot the Balmar now that we were able to access the more remote areas of the engine compartment. The jib was blown out and needed the attention of the local sailmaker, also in St. George’s. We had also noticed a periodic thump in the rudder, and needed to inspect what we could to determine the cause. These issues caused us to miss a good weather window and then a slow moving nasty front shut the passage door for several days.

Paul found that a wire from the Balmar to the smart regulator had broken off at a terminal. He also installed the new ignition switch. Inspection and diving on the rudder did not shed light on the occasional noise that we had noted. A week’s time was spent with the investigation, repairs and watching weather.

Another good window to sail on to Tortola was at hand, so we headed south. Over the next eight hours, as we pushed into the early hours of the six days of offshore work ahead of us, the thump of the rudder increased. Observation of the top of the rudder post revealed an up-and-down movement that we had not noticed before. Since we were only eight hours from Bermuda, we decided to return to St. George’s for a further look. A complication was the approach of Thanksgiving and obligations of some of the crew for a family holiday.

Back in St. George’s, more poking, prodding and exercise of the rudder showed that the post would lift about three-eighths of an inch editor@pointseast.com

and then drop back down. Our weather window was slipping away as another system threatened to delay our next leg of the trip, but Paul decided to take Selkie around to the Royal Naval Dock Yard, at the west end of the island, where a lift was available, if needed. Dennis was out of time, and flew back to Boston. I still had enough time so that a quick fix would permit us to doublehand the remainder of the trip.

A diver went down and could see that the rudder was lifting to the point where the blade was hitting the bottom of the boat, and then it would drop back to where the upper stop would hold it back in place.

Once on the hard, the rudder was removed and it was found that the lower bearing had failed and the rollers had shifted to a diagonal orientation that was thrusting the rudder up and down. It appeared that the new rudder race, which was stainless steel, had partially overlapped the original race of bronze. The resulting dissimilar metals created galvanic cell corrosion of the stainless and distorted the bearing surface. A new bearing would take 10 days to manufacture and get from the U.S., so the crew headed home for Thanksgiving.

Paul returned after the holiday to supervise the installation of the bearing and reassembly of the rudder. Once complete, he planned to singlehand Selkie the remaining six days south to Tortola. All went well at the yard, and Paul brought Selkie back around to St. George’s to watch the weather.

A favorable system set up with a forecast of two days of light, variable winds to be followed by 15 to 25 knots out of the east for the next four days. While this would be ideal for a crew of two or three, it would be tough going as a singlehander.

Once under way, the forecasted 15 to 20 knots of wind were more like 20 to 25 knots with eight- to 12-foot waves on the beam.

More alternator issues arose, but the secondary alternator again came to the rescue. As a singlehander, the prospect of needing to hand-steer if the autopilot

ran low of battery power was a real concern in the conditions being encountered. Paul spent half a day trying to balance sail configuration and helm to see what his options would be if he lost the autopilot. The results were not encouraging.

Good fortune prevailed, however, and the tireless autopilot continued its magnificent helming, permitting Paul to function in the lonely, wet world of solo offshore sailing. After landfall and customs at Soper’s Hole, Tortola was a hard-won reward for Selkie that Paul will not soon forget.

Ken began sailing in the early 1980s in an effort to find a family activity to engage his wife and four children. The family quickly discovered the joy of Long Island Sound and moved farther east as their skills developed. The last 15 years have been spent sailing the coast of Maine, nine deliveries and races to and from Bermuda, and an occasional delivery to the Caribbean.

Along the way, Ken was a cofounder of the Stonington (Conn.) Cruising Club, from which sprang many cherished friendships that now perpetuate his sailing, since he sold his last boat, the Able 42 Golden Mean, several years ago.

slowly through the 40s and into the 50s. As we headed into summer this year, every warm-blooded Long Island Sound angler was handsomely rewarded as unprecendented levels of baitfish swarmed into the area (this is also a testament to the ever-improving health of this 100-mile long estuary), which, in turn, brought the trophies for which we fish, which forage on baitfish: bay anchovies, spearing, butterfish, squid and bunker.

With large schools of baitfish in harbors, shallow waters, and well out to midsound, in depths from 40 to 90-plus feet, stripers and bluefish eagerly inhaled hooks baited with live and chunk bait as well as casted and trolled lures, while porgie (scup) and fluke action was quietly nonstop and hotter than ever.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, autumn loomed on the horizon, with peak conditions for scoring big with stripers, bluefish, bonito, porgies and fluke. The autumn sport is usually nothing short of thrilling.

Bluefish: Bluefish, pound-for-pound, are the hardest fighting fish Long Island Sound has to offer. This month, these eating machines, jaws full of razor-sharp teeth, appear in a wide range of sizes, from “gorillas,” “monsters,” “choppers” or “gators” that weigh between editor@pointseast.com

Photo by Richard DeMarte

10 and 20 pounds, to “harbor blues” from four to eight pounds, down to “cocktail blues” at one to three pounds, and even “snapper blues” (the babies), weighing a few ounces up to nearly a pound.

So how does one target gator blues? They’re at their peak size, strength and agressiveness now, and their first priority is to fatten themselves up for their southerly migration later in the fall. Big blues hit baits and lures ferociously, and hook-ups results in screaming runs, deep dives, and stunning leaps, high into the air like tarpon.

In the early morning, before the sun rises, I’ll head deep into one of the harbors in my area to snag bunker and remain there while the sun rises, when bluefish often come in to feast on the pods of bunker cornered in the harbor. As the bunker are attacked and eaten by hordes of blues, they have no place to hide so its not unusual to see the bunker hurling themselves into the air – even up onto shore – to escape these marauders. Having loaded up my reels with fresh 30-pound-test mono or 50-pound test braided line, I bait up with chunk or live bunker on one of my homemade bluefish rigs. These are made of three feet of 90-pound-test steel leader and two 8/0 VMC circle hooks. Tightening the drag on your reel www.pointseast.com

is essential when you hook-up inside harbors: You’ll need to reel the fish to the boat quickly or it will race off and tangle your line on the nearest dock, piling or mooring.

A vivid memory of battling a monster fall bluefish was when I was 11 years old, fishing near a pod of bunker cornered deep inside Greenwich (Conn.) Harbor, and landing my biggest bluefish ever – an 18.5pound behemoth. Little did I know that, as an 11-year-old, this was a worldwide International Game Fishing Association (IGFA) world record for an 11year-old, beating the previous record of 15.5 pounds by three pounds.

If working harbors in the early morning doesn’t produce, know that, in the fall months, monster blues can be found crusing deeper, open waters of Long Island Sound, both in the middle of the water column, feeding on deep-swimming pods of bait, and also on the surface, in blitzes of epic proportions. Bait and bluefish will go airborne in feeding frenzies that will make your jaw drop in disbelief.

Bluefish blitzes are easy to spot, even from miles away. Start by scanning the area with your naked eyes, and then, with binoculars, search for flocks of birds diving and for surface disturbances that make the water froth like . . . well, a washing machine. Last year, I found dozens of these wild phenomena throughout the fall, and had a blast hooking up with fish after

ing your engine at the lowest rpm possible. Shut down your engine(s) when you are about 50 yards away. Now you’ve positioned yourself within easy casting distance of the action, and wind and tide will push you closer.

During these blitzes, I deploy my favorite surface popper lures – the Rapala X-Rap Pop and the Williamson Popper Pro and Surface Pro – rigged with circle hooks instead of treble hooks, which make unhooking safer and easier. Toss your popper as far into or over the splashes as possible, start a fast retrieve, and one of these huge, aggressive bluefish is bound to attack your offering.

Striped bass: In Long Island Sound, stripers most often show two types of food in their stomachs: bunker and mantis shrimp. Stripers are opportunistic and somewhat lazy feeders, so they often will lay in wait below pods of bunker that bluefish are chopping up, and feed on the scraps of bunker the blues don’t eat.

These scraps are often from the head of the bunker, since bluefish strike and eat fish from the rear, tail first.

This also explains why, when fishermen are bait fishing for stripers using chunks of bunker, the majority of hits will be on the head chunks, rather than the middle or tail chunks. In fact, when stripers themselves chase and feed on live bunker, they often approach the bunker from behind, slap it with their tails to stun it, and then circle around and gulp the bunker

The author’s father, Joe, caught this beauty on one of fishing buddy Mark Pezzano's home-made mantis-shrimp lures.

points farther south. Every fall, when fishing for stripers, I focus on the following techniques: 1. I fish bunker-head chunks along the bottom under pods of bunker, in and around harbors. I drift or anchor up alongside the pods of bunker, set up four rods baited with bunker chunks, and launch them in a spread out pattern (at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock) to cover a wide area. As the bite starts, I cast my baits out where the majority of the hits are coming from.

2. I fish structures (wrecks and natural rockpiles) in deeper waters. Long Island Sound has a fairly flat, sandy bottom along it’s midsection, which is pocked with many rockpiles and wrecks in waters 20 to 60 feet deep. I typically set anchor 100 feet uptide of any of these structures, like the ones at the mouths of Hempstead and Stamford harbors, as well as a mile or so south of Great Captain’s Island and Tod’s Point in Greenwich. I start to build a chumline using one- to two-inch chunks of bunker. Any stripers in the area that pick up the scent of my chumline will show up in short order, so baiting 8/0 VMC circle hooks, weighted with two- to four-ounce sinkers, with bunker-head chunks – as well as livelined bunker – and fishing them in the chumline will usually produce hits.

3. I fish shallow, rocky areas, tips of jetties, and shallow reefs where stripers wait to ambush mantis shrimp and bunker as the tide carries them by. One of my favorite reefs juts out about 300 feet from the

southwest corner of Little Captain’s Island off Greenwich. Here the tide sweeps the water, laden with bunker, mantis shrimp and other baitfish, over the reef, straight toward waiting stripers.

The deeper you get into the fall, the less fishing pressure is on stripers and bluefish. This is in part because blackfish (tautog) season opens in early October, and many fishermen shift over to targeting this tasty species. Although the biomass of stripers and bluefish in the sound starts to thin down as theese species begin their migrations, there will still be plenty of each to bend your rod.

So with all that the fall season has to offer fishermen in the Long Island Sound – and with open season for stripers, bluefish, blackfish and porgies in full swing – you know I’ll be out there with rod in hand, scoping out the action. After all, I’ll need lots of memories to recall, and stories to tell, to get me through the long, cold winter ahead.

By Thomas Mayotte For Points East Saturday, July 12, was the second and final day of the 18th Hospice Regatta of Maine, a fundraiser in support of Hospice Volunteers of Hancock County that takes place each year on the waters around Mount Desert Island, and this year featured nine racing classes.

Thirty minutes before our race, between “big boats” from the Northeast Harbor Fleet, those of us aboard Sidewinder, a J/105, went through pre-race planning and rigging – and scouted our competition: Laney Lu, a 56 Points East September 2014

Buoy racing followed by a circumnavigation of Martha’s Vineyard made Edgartown Yacht Club’s threeday Edgartown Race Weekend (July 24-26) the just-right combination for dozens of teams competing.

The Thursday/Friday Big Boat Buoy Races, hosting 32 boats, is a separately scored fleet racing series that made its full debut last year after organizers trial-tested a one-day buoy racing event the year prior. The 77year old ’Round-the-Island Race – decidedly more storied, if not downright legendary – saw 67 boats taking on the hearty 56-mile rounding of Martha’s Vineyard.

For the Big Boat Buoy Races, Jim Swartz’s (Park City, Utah/Edgartown) IRC 52 Vesper topped the eight-boat IRC fleet, trading victories with Gunther Buerman’s (Newport, R.I.) IRC 52 Hooligan in the first day’s two races, which saw a northerly breeze build to 15 to 17 knots by early afternoon. A third race was started, then abandoned, after Hooligan snagged a race mark that broke free, rendering the race unfair to those who followed behind.

But there was still Friday’s racing for settling scores. In the lingering northerly that weakened throughout the day, Vesper won two of three races sailed, while Hooligan, taking the hit of two 7th-place finishes, fell to 4th overall.

New York Y.C. Race Week in Newport, Parts I and II After sailing in fresh breezes Sat., July 12, 26 pristine classic yachts, divided into four classes, were faced with challenging 20- to 25-knot winds on Sunday that determined their overall positions in Part I of New York Yacht Club Race Week at Newport, presented by Rolex.

The biennial event, in its 9th edition, is known for its split format, whereby IRC, PHRF and One-Design Racing sailors get their shot at the action during Part II, which this year was July 16-19.

Wrapping up Part I with impressive 1st-place finishes across the board were Gunther Buerman’s (Newport, R.I.) New Zealand (KZ-3), in the 12 Meter Class, and past NYYC commodore Charles Townsend’s (Middletown, R.I.) Sparkman & Stephens 39 Fidelio in Classics Class 2 (Spinnaker).

The S-Class, the oldest one-design class still actively racing and sailing in its original boats, certainly felt the power of the fresh breeze on Narragansett Bay on Sunday, which hit 20 knots. Five of the eight boats competing either did not finish or did not compete in the second and final race. Walter Bopp (Greenwich, Conn.), in Mischief, won the class overall, despite starting prewww.pointseast.com

maturely (and restarting) in two of the four series races.

Due to Sunday’s brisk conditions, the race committee was able to make a seat-of-the-pants decision to send the Classics Class 1 (Non-Spinnaker) on an 18-mile course around Prudence Island. (The class on Saturday sailed two Navigator Courses, using government marks, while the others raced around-the-buoys.) Jed Pearsall’s (Newport, R.I.) 50-foot P Class Sloop Chips took 1st and claimed overall victory in the class as well.

While Part II of Race Week saw Wednesday’s (July 16) opening-day races cancelled due to the threat of thunderstorms, Thursday’s and Friday’s racing was pushed from midmorning to early afternoon to allow Newport’s dependable southwesterly sea breeze to kick in. Although that breeze was light on both days, there was still plenty of action for the 73 teams competing.

Rotating each day to one of three different circles – one on Narragansett Bay and two on Rhode Island Sound – a light easterly kicked in early to allow three races each in Swan 42, J/109, IRC 1, IRC 2, and IRC 3 classes and two each in J/44, PHRF and Marstrom 32 NYYC, continued on Page 60 Points East September 2014

Three Rolex timepieces were awarded: one to Jim Swartz’s (Park City, Utah) IRC 52 Vesper, the IRC overall winner; one to Glenn Darden/Philip Williamson’s (Fort Worth, Texas) Hoss, the new Swan 42 National Champion; and one to Jim Vos’s (New Canaan, Conn.)

Skoot, winner of the J/109s and that class’s North American Championship.

A total of 27 IRC boats sailed (10 of those were dualscored for HPR), and, in addition to Vesper’s victory, Steve and Heidi Benjamin’s (Norwalk, Conn.) Spookie won IRC 2, while Ed Freitag and Molly Haley’s (Annapolis, Md.) DownTime prevailed in IRC 3. Spookie had as many victories (five) in its scoreline as Vesper, but one less race to count in the overall IRC victory calculations.

In PHRF class, which sailed both buoy races and navigator’s courses, David and Maryellen Tororello’s (Bridgeport, Conn.) J/111 Partnership turned in five victories over eight races to win, while William Ketcham’s (Greenwich, Conn.) Maxine, won J/44 class on a tie breaker with Jim Bishop’s (Jamestown, R.I.) perennial favorite Gold Digger, which was leading going into the final day.

For the Marstrom 32 fast-catamaran class, Michael Dominguez’s (Bristol, R.I.) Bronco posted seven victories in 11 races to win. FMI: www.nyyc.org.

Briefly Team Australia withdraws from 35th Cup The America’s Cup organizers received notification in July from the principals of Hamilton Island Yacht Club (HIYC) of their intention to withdraw Team Australia from the 35th America’s Cup. HIYC, located on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia, was the first team to submit a challenge following the successful defense by Oracle Team USA at the 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco on Sept. 25, 2013. “The Challenge was initiated with a view to negotiating a format for the 35th America’s Cup that was affordable and put the emphasis back on sailing skills,” said noted Australian yachtsman and businessman Bob Oatley. “Ultimately, our estimate of the costs of competing was well beyond our initial expectation and [beyond] our ability to make the formula of our investment and other commercial support add up.” FMI: www.team-australia.americascup.com

Skip Mattos wins Sea Sprite N.A.s Over the course of two races on July 12, just outside of Bristol Harbor, R.I., Skip Mattos bested a fleet of 10 boats to with this year’s Sea Sprite 23 North Americans.

The wind gods were a-huffin’. At noon, on a clear and sunny day, the winds were light, but increasing. At the start, however, whitecaps appeared. Fifteen minutes later, winds settled into 20 to 25 knots for the rest of the afternoon. Racers had a perfectly set windward-leeward course. Starts were close, as was the racing. Skip went 1-2, George Cochran took 2nd with 3-1, and Bob

Catani came in 3rd with a 2-4. Rounding out the finishing were Brian Anderson in 4th, Bob Rude in 5th, and Ruth Souto in 6th.

Lou Marino and Carter Hall tied for 7th. Halsey Herreshoff did not start the 2nd race, and Herb Brown withdrew from the second race because of equipment failure. FMI: www.seaspriteassociation.com.

Nelson snags Marblehead NOOD overall The sixth and final event on the Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Regatta circuit culminated with the 125th anniversary of Marblehead Race Week. During the three-day event (July 25-27), 158 teams competed.

David Nelson (Stoughton, Mass.) and his crew not only claimed 1st place in the 32-boat Rhodes 19 class, but also snagged the honor of Marblehead NOOD Overall Winner among the 10 competing classes. The top spot earned Nelson and his crew a berth at the NOOD Championship in the British Virgin Islands in October, which will be sailed in 44-foot boats provided

The J/24 class was won by Newport’s Team Helly Hansen, with John Mollicone and Tim Healy and crew; the Laser Fleet District Championship was conquered by Marek Zaleski (Norwalk, Conn.).

Kite foilboard sets Jamestown Record In the wake of Hurricane Arthur, on July 5, Zach Marks of St. Petersburg, Fla. broke the Mount Gay Around Jamestown Record for all sailing craft under 32 feet. Mark’s pace fell short of the outright record by 30 seconds, which was set by the Marstrom 32 Bronco earlier this year.

Using his kite foilboard, Marks sailed the 20-plus-mile course, which passes around Conanicut Island in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay, in an elapsed time of 01:03:08, besting the previous record for all other sailing craft of 02:00:29 set on Oct. 24, 2013. Marks chose to sail the course around the island to port, sailing north from the start off Fort Adams at 10:28:04 ET, on a northwesterly breeze ranging from 18 to 22 knots. FMI: www.aroundjamestownrecord.com.

T. Mouligne wins N.E. S.H.O.R.T Award The Newport Yacht Club awarded The New England Shorthanded Ocean Racing Trophy (S.H.O.R.T) to Tristan Mouligne, sailing on Samba, his Quest 30. Mouligne secured the Trophy after his decisive win in the annual New England Solo Twin Regatta, Doublehanded Spinnaker Division.

This is the first year the trophy has been awarded, and it will be every two years, between Bermuda 1-2 years. The Trophy is awarded to the sailor/yacht with the best-combined corrected time for the Ocean 160 Singlehanded Race and the New England Solo Twin Doublehanded Spinnaker Division. FMI: www.newportyachtclub.org.

Ida Lewis Race uses a “virtual mark” A “virtual mark” added an intriguing new twist to the 10th Annual Ida Lewis Distance Race (ILDR), which started Aug. 15, off Fort Adams in Newport, R.I. This year, the mark was located at latitude 41:06.00 north/longitude 071:23.34 west.

“This seems to be an emerging trend,” said Ed Cesare (Norwalk, Conn.), who is returning this summer to defend his 2013 win on Class 40 Pleiad Racing in the Doublehanded Division. “I know the RORC uses virtual marks, and have been doing so for some time. Certainly the technology is there, so if it works for the racecourse, then let’s do it.”

The overnighter takes its fleet of PHRF, IRC, One-Design, Doublehanded and Multihull boats on one of four courses – between 104 and 177 miles – that trace the New England coastline. FMI: www.ildistancerace.org.

HOSPICE, continued from Page 56 hear the masts creak and groan as they loaded up for the beat to the windward mark. Shortly after the start, the pack split up to either side of the Western Way. Some headed toward the Manset shore while others headed to Great Cranberry. Both groups were making good speed, and we knew that this could only end in some epic crossings. Sure enough, when everyone made their tacks back toward the middle, we had boats ducking and dodging left, right, and center.

We approached the windward mark behind Iris, Lynette and Dreadnought. While most boats prepared their kites, Iris and Lynette decided to go non-spin, in hopes of improving their ratings. At the mark, Dreadnought pulled the sock, and the spinnaker immediately double hourglassed. While they fought the massive sail, we rounded the mark and set our kite, and started the hunt for the Eggemoggin 47s.

At the lower end of the course, we had a choice to make: take the more direct route to the mark through the notoriously unreliable winds behind Greening Island, or go the long way around through Southwest Harbor. We had tunnel vision on Lynette, the one 47 still eluding us, and followed her in behind Greening.

What a mistake! Behind the island the wind shut off.

Dreadnought and Sidewinder limped along at maybe a knot, while Lynette drifted backwards. As we sat, help-

less, I spotted a boat rounding what looked like our leeward mark. It was Iris! We thought everyone had followed us into the dead zone, but she had gone the long way around and now was a mile ahead of us. Eventually, we all limped back into some breeze and began what was going to be our final windward leg.

As we made our way back up the hill, this time out the Eastern Way, we went between the Cranberry Islands and Sutton Island. The farther we went, the more the wind swung around, and, after a while, we were able to do a tight spin set. Lynette and Dreadnought followed suit, as we were all still chasing Iris.

After a tricky spinnaker dowsing for an unusual starboard rounding, we started our final push to the finish.

We knew that all the lead boats owed us time, but we weren’t sure how much so we stuck close to the frontrunners. After another tricky starboard rounding spinnaker set, at a mark at the end of Great Cranberry Island, it was a run down to the finish back between Greening and Gilpatrick Cove.

The final positions were Lynette, Dreadnought, Iris, Sidewinder, Galien and Laney Lu. We finished within five minutes of the lead boat, so we knew we had a chance at winning, but we had to wait and see how the math worked out. A little bit later on, when the race committee chairman showed up at the after-party, he confirmed our suspicions: We’d won! FMI: www.nehfleet.org.

There is a native genius to many of the simplest buildings along the coast -- like this elemental composition on Gay Island in Muscongus Bay, Maine.

Saltwater homespun or all the great arks of homes along the coast – with their cascading porches, great rooms, granite counters, razored lawns, and no-trespassing signs – few seem possessed of the native genius of an old Cape Cod village, the achingly spare simplicity of the Haley house on the Isle of Shoals, austere 19thcentury cottages at Isleboro, Maine, or even the venerable fish shack, Motif Number 1, at Rockport, Mass., said to be the most frequently painted of New England seascapes.

Among such treasures Leigh and I keep watch over during our coastwise travels is an old fisherman’s workshop – turned camp – perched atop a swell of granite on the eastern reaches of Muscongus Bay, where Gay Island narrows to a mere thread of an isthmus. Its cedar shingles are weathered to a rich medieval gray, which only time and salted air renders true. The roof is covered with a carpet of rust-colored lichen fertilized by fog, and the warmth of habitation has long gone cold. Slouching its way into the 21st century, it’s a starkly elemental composition we find ap-

pealing for the homespun virtue of it.

The setting is remarkable. Close to seaward lies a shingle beach offering sweeping sightlines across the St. George River, stretching past the imposing hulks of Caldwell, Teal and Barter islands and their many cousins. But five yards from the back door, the quiet waters of Point Pleasant Gut flow past a small granite quay where the fisherman/carpenter/jack of all trades, who built it with a few hand tools, practiced the ancient business of hunting and gathering.

An old metal stove pipe fitting gives evidence that it was once equipped with a wood stove, where a pot of coffee would have been kept brewing in winter, when locals would gather to pass news up and down the coast, and build wooden lobster traps. Portland seemed a long way off, and only a few of them had been to Boston. Then the inshore fishery played out, as fisheries do. The building sat empty for a while, and was shifted off its dry stone footings by a hurricane.

that back then. She taught math at Providence College. He practiced math at a bank. In one season they civilized the quarters with a picture window, brass bed and mattresses on the loft floor, where their daughters played Go Fish on rainy days, and it seemed the most civil place on earth.

They grew up, moved away, and that played out, too.

In the 1950s, writers Elizabeth Ogilvie and Dot Simpson moved into the small white house on a nearby grassy knoll, and it was to this simple building that Dot retired with her Remington manual typewriter and turned out seven books. “The Island’s True Child” is a revealing portrait of life offshore at the turn of the century.

Ogilvie was a force, too, crafting 47 novels. The mate and I had tea with them in 1989. They and the place seemed one.

That chapter played out in the ’90s. The little house slouched more and more with the passing millennium, though the roof remained straight as a die. We felt shareholders of a sort. Anchored in the little tide pool, a boatlength off one night, I imagined hearing Dot’s typewriter clicking away. We are inhabited by the bald-faced honesty of such places, and, sailing through the gut recently, were pleased to find a balk of timbers drawn ashore next to the cabin, almost certainly intended to prepare it for another chapter. Preservation is progress.

As Richard Feynman wrote, “You can recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity.”

David Buckman’s book, “Bucking The Tide,” is about going to great lengths for next to nothing, cruising the New England and Fundy coast in a little boat that was close to toast when he bought her.

Connecticut commercial’s book one heck of a read A note to readers from Media editor Sandy Marsters: In the last issue, I asked you to tell us about your favorite boating books. The response was a tad, well, tepid. Perhaps people don’t read any more. But what readers lacked in enthusiasm for participatory journalism, Points East associate editor Bob Muggleston made up for in quality with this review. Thank you, Bob. I just ordered a copy of the book online, where the prices for used editions suggest that a lot of readers have enjoyed this book.

If there is a book you would like to recommend to your fellow boaters, there is still plenty of time. We have extended the deadline to forever.

Draggerman’s Haul: The Personal History of a Connecticut Fishing Captain

By Ellery Thompson, Flat Hammock Press, 1950, 296 pp., $18.95 (paperback).

Reviewed by Bob Muggleston For Points East Years ago, on the heels of a short and mostly disastrous stint aboard a Bering Sea longliner, I found myself in a book store in Mystic, Conn., with a girlfriend, who very much wanted to leave. On my way out, I glanced at a small shelf adjacent to the checkout counter, and one title — “Draggerman’s Haul: The Personal History of a Connecticut Fishing Captain” — caught my eye. Pulling the book from the shelf meant further irritating my date, but for some reason I couldn’t stop myself. I flipped the book open, and these were the first words I read: “When a draggerman, using a power winch, pulls up his net, the mouth of which may be as much as 80 feet wide, and dumps its contents, the haul may include the darnedest and most unexpected assortment of objects which ever cluttered the deck of a ship — a lot of fish, of course, if he has been lucky, ranging in size and character from flounders, whiting, goosefish, sea-robins, trash sculpin, and skates, to a 500-pound shark or an equally vicious-looking mollykite; a few lobsters maybe; some dead-man’s-finger sponge; and perhaps the bone from an actual dead man’s finger, or a skull or tibia or pelvic bone; an unexploded bomb, reminder of the futility and in-

evitability of war; parts of machinery; a bird cage; a halfton of coal from the wreck of a coal barge (very useful in the ship’s stove); a faded, water-logged Yale pennant; a pair of corsets; a bit of metal work from a sailing vessel of generations dead and gone — almost anything which can sink. I have dragged up all of these things and many more, and still look at a haul when it comes out of the depths of the sea with the same eager curiosity which drove me as a barefoot, nightshirted boy into our sitting room on Christmas morning long before sunup.”

I was hooked (or was it netted?).

“Draggerman’s Haul,” first published in 1950, chronicles a fishing career that began when Thompson, aged 15, dropped out of high school. The year was 1914, which meant he saw (and describes lovingly in the book, with great Yankee wit) the ages of sail, steam and gasolinepowered engines overlap.

Because many of our big bridges hadn’t yet been built, steam-powered ships and sailing schooners were still both the arteries and blood of a coastal state. And Thompson puts us right there on the wharf, where we meet an unforgettable cast of sailors, fishermen, and even a few “working girls” with hearts of gold.

It’s hard to imagine a more romantic existence than the one Thompson describes. For instance, he supposedly ferried the infamous rum runner Bill McCoy, of “real McCoy” fame, out to his schooner Arethusa, off Montauk during Prohibition, and Thompson’s father, a character in his own right, claims to have pulled up one of Captain Kidd’s long-lost treasure chests — only to see it go back in the water when the gear it was tangled in broke. Who knew Connecticut could be so exciting?

Ellery Thompson was many things: a fisherman first and foremost, a chronicler of a golden age on the water, a mostly decent trumpet player, a painter of seascapes and the occasional nude, and a great admirer of women — though he never seemed to find love. Perhaps, though, more than anything, he was a great storyteller. “Draggerman’s Haul” is one heck of a read.

Good enough, in fact, to risk the ire of an irritated girlfriend.

Bob Muggleston, a resident of East Hampton, Conn., on the shores of the Connecticut River, is Points East’s associate editor and a lifelong river rat of the first order.

I have dragged up all of these things and many more, and still look at a haul when it comes out of the depths of the sea with the same eager curiosity which drove me as a barefoot, nightshirted boy into our sitting room on Christmas morning long before sunup.

‘WoodenBoat’ mag celebrates its 40th year WoodenBoat magazine, in Brooklin, Maine, commemorated its 40th year in the marinepublishing industry with an open-house weekend, Aug. 14-16, at the WoodenBoat Publications campus.

“WoodenBoat,” published six times a year, covers subjects relevant to woodboat owners, beginner builders, boating enthusiasts, builders and designers, repairers, and surveyors.

The weekend began with tours of local boatyards, led by WoodenBoat staff, which were followed by tours of the WoodenBoat campus. “WoodenBoat” encouraged readers to sail or trailer wooden boats they’d built, to create a land-based exhibit of reader-built boats. This was planned to “be a display of craftsmanship derived from the magazine’s pages,” said “WoodenBoat” founder Jon Wilson.

The “WoodenBoat” staff, the Brooklin Fire Depart-

ment, and the Brooklin Keeping Society hosted a barbecue and Silent Auction at The Brooklin Fire Department the Friday leading up to the weekend. The silent auction items included a gift certificate to The WoodenBoat School, and prints and jewelry from local artists.

Proceeds from the dinner and auction benefited the Brooklin Keeping Society, an historical Society, and Brooklin Volunteer Fire Department. Saturday evening saw an oyster and beer reception (oysters provided by The Brooklin Inn and beer provided by Strong Brewing Co.), followed by a lobster dinner hosted by The First Baptist Church of Brooklin on the WoodenBoat waterfront, while the Brooklin Band played. Proceeds from the dinner went to The First Baptist Church of Brooklin Deacon’s Fund. FMI: www.woodenboat.com.

Edson crafts twin helms for a 150-foot windship Edson International, based in New Bedford, Mass., is installing their custom wheels on Royal Huisman’s latest 46-meter (150-foot) sailing yacht, Project #392. The matched pair of wheels have hand-laminated teak rims and stainless-steel spokes and hubs with a sisal-buffed finish. The 60-inch-diameter wheels have a simple but elegant faceplate.

The wheels drive a custom Edson mechanical steering system below deck. The multi-speed steering system for this yacht directs the helmsman’s touch through a gearbox with an integral wheel clutch, and then to the quadrant through a chain and wire arrangement. The gearbox allows the helmsman to adjust the steering-wheel sensitivity and power to the conditions at hand, and clutch out the wheels when the autopilot is in use. Edson’s steering system places super-sensitive bearings throughout the

I feel like everyone had really great teamwork, and it would not be done if we didn’t work together. I varnished a lot of the boat; I also painted and sanded the boat several times.”

Cambridge, Mass., firm offers anti-piracy infrared technology HGH Infrared Systems Inc., in Cambridge, Mass., offers panoramic, infrared, thermal-imaging surveillance systems to combat piracy in vital, and increasingly threatened shipping lanes in Southeast Asia.

One wonders about the future applicability of this technology to world voyaging.

One HGH option is Spynel, which would assist large cargo vessels and ships in other dangerous waters with its early detection and long-range surveillance capabilities. HGH says that Spynel cameras are the only thermal cameras that can provide a 360-degree field of view with a very high resolution and detection range (15 kilometers for a rigid-hulled inflatable boat), with no image distortion or stitching.

They act like optical radars, but they can pick up targets that radar cannot detect – objects like small

wooden boats, RHIBs, swimmers, and skiffs.

Spynel cameras can successfully operate at seastate level 5/6 (rough to very rough seas) thanks to a gyro-stabilized platform. In addition to mechanical stabilization, HGH says, Spynel come with a sea-specific image-processing stabilization algorithm, allowing for minimal false alarms and effective differentiation between distant small boats and waves.

Spynel systems have been proven in the maritime surveillance world since 2007. They are serving on multiple French Navy war frigates for anti-piracy missions in the Gulf of Aden. They are also used for panoramic surveillance at a high-risk port, as well as 24/7 surveillance for an offshore natural-gas platform. FMI: www.hgh-infrared.com.

Herbert Frederick Schwartz 78, Riverside, Conn.

Herb died at home July 15, after a long bout with cancer. The longtime lawyer, whose career was spent litigating intellectual property law matters, was known for his ocean-racing prowess, and was happiest when out on the water, skippering one of a series of yachts named Wenden. He won many major regattas, including the Swan American trophy, the New York Yacht Club Sesquicentennial and the Marblehead to Halifax race.

Herb competed several times in the Newport to Bermuda race, winning his class in 2000. He has been a member of the New York Yacht Club, Riverside Yacht Club, the Cruising Club of America, and the Greenwich Cove Racing Association. He was a trustee at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, and he served for many years on the Junior Sailing Association of Long Island Sound board. Herb was instrumental in introducing the Optimist dinghy to Long Island Sound in the early 1980s, and he was a judge for the RYC Opti regattas.

Sharon Mooney 56, Portsmouth, R.I.

Sharon died peacefully at home on the farm in Portsmouth, R.I., on July 24, surrounded by close family and dear friends. She was born in La Tuque, Quebec, and grew up in Montreal, where she attended McGill University and achieved her Bachelor of Science degree. Sharon grew up sailing in her native Canada, sailing Lasers and Fireballs.

She went to RISD and achieved her master’s degree in Landscape Architecture and then practiced for many years in Rhode Island. Sharon’s first experience

will b e missed

in the Newport, R.I. racing scene was as team meteorologist for the Canada I America’s Cup team in 1983.

She then joined the crew of a Swan 651, crossing the Atlantic numerous times, and sailing in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.

In 1987, she joined the New Zealand America’s Cup Challenge in Fremantle, Australia (KZ-7), and then for the NZ Big Boat challenge versus the Cat in San Diego in 1988. Afterwards, she returned to settle in Newport, where she made many wonderful friends, and, when not working, could variously be found cycling, sailing, swimming, paddle boarding, skiing, and frostbiting in her Laser, and competing on Wednesday nights with Fleet 9 of the Shields fleet.

Joseph Howey 82, Severna Park, Md.

Joe died on July 30. The longtime, much respected and liked “Sail” magazine advertising sales representative was born in Sunderland, England, and served in Paratroopers Division of the British Army. In 1959 Joe immigrated to The United States and settled in New York City, where he began his career in advertising. He was sworn in as a U.S. citizen in 1967.

Joe and his family moved to Severna Park in 1976 to establish the Annapolis offices of “Sail.” During his 32-year career at “Sail,” he pioneered the U.S. sailboat advertising markets in China, Japan, Taiwan and Europe. He retired in 2005 and enjoyed spending time with his family (and the family pets) at their home in Severna Park, which he dearly loved. He volunteered at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, as a mentor to cancer patients and survivors. He had a brilliant and quick sense of humor, a distinguished charm, and a boisterous exterior that would inevitably give way to reveal a deeply sentimental and loving nature.

Warm water, cool fish Once considered rare north of Long Island, New York, today, with warmer waters, various species of seahorse are being seen in the Gulf of Maine and off Nova Scotia.

By Joe Zentner For Points East Seahorses – with the head of a horse, eyes like a chameleon, a pouch like a kangaroo, a tail like a monkey, and males that give birth – have captured the imagination of people for centuries. The generic name for seahorses – Hippocampus – literally means “sea monster,” and, New Englanders, these mythical “monsters” can be found off a beach near you.

While the usual range of seahorses is up the Atlantic Coast, from Venezuela to Cape Cod, strays can be found as far north as Nova Scotia, but they still are not considered common north of Long Island. But that was yesterday. Today, the ocean off New England is getting warmer, and fish are headed north.

The Gulf of Maine has experienced a long-term warming trend for well over a century. Fish, including seahorses, are definitely taking advantage of this trend to expand their range. reached record-high temperatures. Surface temperatures in some areas were as much as 11 degrees above long-term averages, while deep waters were three degrees higher than average. The Gulf of Maine has experienced a long-term warming trend for well over a century. Fish, including seahorses, are definitely taking advantage of this trend to expand their range.

There are eight distinct families in the suborder Syngnathoidei, to which seahorses belong. This suborder includes sea-moths (Pegasidae), ghost pipefishes (Solenostomidae), pipefishes (Syngnathidae), trumpetfishes (Aulostomidae), cornetfishes (Fistulariidae), snipefishes (Macroramphosidae), shrimpfishes (Centriscidae), and rare freshwater indostomids (family Indostomidae).

These creatures have unique biological and anatomical characteristics that distinguish them from all other fishes. Physical characteristics exhibited within the suborder include partial or complete external ar-

mor in the form of bony plates, tufted gills, and an elongated snout ending in a small mouth.

Seahorses belong to the pipefish family, the members of which are most distinguished by an upright swimming demeanor. This extraordinarily upright fish swims by means of a dorsal fin that is translucent and nearly invisible, as well as with pectoral fins located behind the head.

There are 32 species of seahorses. They are found in both warm waters, tropical seas and chilly waters. The animals live in grass beds, kelp forests, mangroves, and around corals. Seahorses are very slow swimmers.

They have a prehensile tail (adapted for seizing or holding, especially by wrapping around an object) that they use to grasp onto sea grasses, sea fans, and other objects.

The smallest member of the seahorse family, the dwarf seahorse, is found in the Gulf of Mexico off Florida, west to Texas, as well as in the Atlantic Ocean,

off the Bahamas and South Carolina. The species is beige, yellow, green, or black with white markings that resemble splashes of paint.

The lined seahorse is found in the Gulf of Mexico and the Western Atlantic. This species may develop intricate fronds (fernlike leaflets), and vary in color from ash gray, orange, or brown to yellow, red or black.

White lines are often found on the head and neck.

Lined seahorses live in shallow water among sea grasses, sponges and sargassum (seaweed).

The longsnout seahorse lives in the Gulf of Mexico and the Western Atlantic, from the Carolinas to the West Indies, among sea grasses and sargassum. It is a slender species that is usually covered with brown spots and numerous tiny white dots, especially on the tail. The longsnout seahorse has eye spines and a long, thick snout.

Seahorses must eat almost constantly so they won’t starve. They use their long snouts to suck in food – small shrimp, plankton, and fish larvae –whatever will pass through the tiny mouth.

Unlike most other fishes, seahorses don’t have scales. Their skin is stretched over bony plates into a kind of suit of armor. Despite this protection, many seahorses are found, after autopsies have been performed, in the stomach contents of larger fish. Seahorses range in size from about an inch to more than a foot long. Small seahorses live about two years, while

medium-sized and larger species can live up to four years.

Seahorses often change color. They do so to hide from predators, to show aggression, and to engage in courtship rituals. Each eye can rotate independently from the other; consequently, one eye can look in one direction while the other one is scouting out a completely different area. This gives the seahorse an often rather comical facial expression.

Perhaps the most unusual feature of the seahorse is that the male gives birth. The male seahorse’s pregnancy begins with a greeting ritual dance that is initiated by the female. Their elegant courtship includes the pair changing color, entwining around one another, and promenading together for up to nine hours.

Eventually, the female points her snout up and starts rising in the water. The male then begins to force water in and out of his abdominal brood pouch.

The pair connect, their movements synchronized as they rise through the water, while the female positions her egg duct over the opening of the male’s pouch.

They lock together in mid-water as the female transfers long, sticky strings of eggs into the pouch, where they are fertilized.

When the bonding ritual is completed, the partners drift down to the bottom of their habitat, and the male sways gently back and forth, encouraging the eggs to settle firmly into his brood pouch. Depending on the

species and the water temperature, pregnancy lasts from two to six weeks, and the male will give birth to up to 1,500 tiny seahorses.

Artists often depict the seahorse’s tail as being curled back toward the head; however, this position is difficult if not impossible for an adult to attain. Young seahorses are more agile than are adults and can bend their tails backward in a reverse crescent formation.

Adult seahorses seldom carry the tail in a straight position, and usually keep it coiled forward.

Although seahorses are found worldwide, there is growing concern over declining populations. Their natural habitats are typically areas of the ocean that are often heavily exploited by man. Many of these areas are being destroyed by human population explosion, global warming, and destructive fishing methods. This destruction presents a real threat, not only to the seahorses, but also to the global marine environment.

Compounding the problem is the use of seahorses in Eastern medicine, where the dried bodies of these creatures are believed by many people to be useful for treating intestinal disorders, baldness, pain and impotence. Millions of seahorses are harvested every year for these purposes. Some 36 nations today are involved in buying and selling seahorses, which has caused an alarming decline in native populations.

Project Seahorse is an international effort aimed at educating people about these animals. The Project is

working to expand knowledge about the proper care of seahorses in the aquarium industry, as well as managing seahorse fisheries and wild populations. International protective legislation can help save the seahorse from extinction. Aquafarming can help solve the global problem of overfishing for food and the consequent habitat destruction.

Although the aquarium trade represents but a fraction of all seahorse harvesting, the marine hobbyist can help alleviate the pressure on wild populations of seahorses by choosing a farm-raised seahorse for his or her home aquarium.

Seahorses are marvels of the animal kingdom everywhere they are found, including off the coast of Maine.

Observing this animal go about its daily routine awakens a sense of intrigue in those who appreciate the wonders of nature, yet, at the same time, watching them generates an sense of contentment.

Seahorses are amazing creatures that are unmatched in style and beauty. These aquatic “chess knights,” when viewed in a home or public aquarium, or when spotted in the Atlantic Ocean, can bring endless hours of enjoyment to you and your family. Enjoy, but please be mindful of the fragility of nature.

Most competitors charter boats from the regatta organizers, matched sails are provided for all competitors, and the rig tension is equalized and locked-in across the fleet. Thus, winning the Invitational Cup takes pure sailing skill: the ability to start cleanly, shift gears swiftly, correctly adapt to the shifting winds and manage the rest of the fleet.

LAST

WORD/Ju dy

Silva and Bar b ara Frasca

2nd wind blows a fuse ere we were again: Jim and Judy Silva aboard the Pearson 28 Yankee Lady, Tom and Barbara Frasca aboard the Pearson Wanderer Misty, and Tom and Rosalie Isele aboard the Catalina 30 2nd Wind.

(You may recall, from the December 2013 article, “Incident at York Harbor,” by Judy and Barbara, that 2nd Wind was the one with the cranky engine.) We were returning from a pleasant cruise to Maine and were motoring toward Gloucester, Mass.

After a cool, damp day, the mist lifted and the sun appeared. Dampness disappeared, and we were warm and dry. As I looked toward shore, I paid silent tribute to the famous memorial of the Gloucester fisherman. There he was, standing behind his wheel, in foul-weather gear, looking out to sea.

The slanting rays of the late afternoon sun illuminated the city, set on a small hill across the harbor.

After dessert aboard 2nd Wind, Jim and I sat in the cockpit savoring the night beauty of the scene around us. The white ray of the lighthouse flashed its rhythmic and silent beat around the harbor, briefly illuminating the breakwater, boats, harbor and us. The red beacon at the end of the breakwater flashed on, off, on, off. There was a glow to the north that represented Boston. All was peaceful.

Gloucester is very much a fishing community. Fishing boats left in the middle of the night and in the morning, creating a lumpy anchorage. Once again, I lay in the bunk, wondering if the coffee pot would fall off the stove and then arose to move it. I managed to fall asleep between rolls. Jim only woke up once.

In the morning, we listened to the weather. The forecast indicated good weather for the next few days. The six of us decided to try to get to Old Saybrook, Conn., in three days – two 50-mile days and one 40-miler. Misty and 2nd Wind started early at 7 a.m. to get a head start on Yankee Lady. We left at 8. About 1 1/2 hours out, as we motor-sailed pleasantly along, we heard Barbara on Channel 68: “We’ll stand by.” Jim and I looked at each other – not 2nd Wind’s engine again! Then Barbara’s

H

voice again: “Rosie, steer over here.” Then Tom Isele, “It starts, runs for a few seconds, and then stops again.”

We plugged along and caught up to them a half-hour later. There were 2nd Wind and Misty, sails hanging limp, drifting toward Boston, away from the Cape Cod Canal. Tom Frasca had rowed over to 2nd Wind, and the two Toms were working on the engine to no avail. Jim suggested that we tow 2nd Wind. At least we would be heading in the right direction.

We attached the towline and proceeded to regain our rhumb line on the GPS. Yankee Lady may be small, but she is mighty. She pulled 10,000-pound 2nd Wind along at 4.5 knots. What a tugboat!

At first, Rosie was steering. Jim looked back and saw 2nd Wind starting to pull up along our starboard side as if she were water skiing. Jim called to Rosie to straighten out. She then veered to our port side.

Six-thousand-pound Yankee Lady had trouble maintaining a straight course.

Tom Isele emerged, centered 2nd Illustration by Barbara Frasca Wind’s wheel, and locked it. That worked.

We lengthened the towline so things would be less tense. Meanwhile Jim tried to troubleshoot with the two Toms on Channel 68. When two other boats offered suggestions, it became obvious that we had an audience. One captain offered, “I had an atomic four and found dirt in the float bowl.” Jim thanked both captains for their concern and interest.

All three men deduced that the problem was either fuel supply or electrical. Tom Isele checked the fuel filters.

They were fine. Jim suggested hot-wiring the engine, which would bypass any faulty wiring in the ignition system. Needing to describe how to do that to the two Toms, he said, “I thought every guy knew how to hot-wire an engine.” I said, “I don’t think my sons would know how.”

What can I say about Jim’s past. I can see him in his teens, tinkering with his cars, increasing horsepower, creating clouds of exhaust smoke, and, yes, hot-wiring the engines.

Jim and I looked at each other. “I’m comfortable with editor@pointseast.com

Yankee Lady,” I said. “The tow rope is long enough, and the autopilot is working fine.”

“I better go over,” he said, and he radioed to Tom that he was coming. I gradually reduced the throttle and both boats slowed down. We lowered the ladder, Jim boarded the dinghy, untied it, and darted over to 2nd Wind.

Meanwhile, I kept watch on Yankee Lady. There were not many of them, but dodging lobster pot buoys for two vessels was a challenge. I used the one-degree buttons on the autopilot to make wide gradual turns in order to keep 2nd Wind tracking well. I needed to plan well ahead. With an Eartha Kitt song in my mind, I mused: Dodging lobster pots for two, Isn’t so easy to do.

If you do one more push than you ought’er, Tom’s rudder will be dancing underwater.

After another half-hour, Jim’s jubilant voice came over the radio: “Judy, slow the boats down; it’s all fixed and I’m coming back.”

As Tom Frasca and Jim were climbing into their dinghies someone asked on Channel 68, “What was the problem?”

“We’ll let you know as soon as the transfer at sea is completed,” I responded. Tom Isele released the towline, and I pulled it in while Jim secured the dinghy and climbed aboard.

“To whom it may concern . . .,” Jim called on the VHF, and he proceeded to explain the problem. There are two

ways that electricity is supplied to the fuel pump. When the starter is engaged, electricity is supplied to the fuel pump. When the starter becomes disengaged, electricity is supplied from the oil-pressure switch to the fuel pump.

When Tom had the engine rebuilt, the mechanic had placed a fuse in the line from the oil-pressure switch.

It was not described in the engine trouble-shooting guide because it was not original equipment. It was out of sight under the manifold. This fuse had shorted out.

By a process of elimination, Jim finally found it. Fortunately, Tom had a spare, and 2nd Wind was purring again.

“Simple,” Jim said. Sure, simple for him.

Judy has loved sailing since she first sailed her Penguin dinghy as a teenager on Long Island Sound. As an adult she cruised New England waters singlehanded as far as Nantucket. After her marriage to Jim in 1996, they circumnavigated New England with a side trip to Newfoundland aboard her Pearson 28, Yankee Lady. They also sailed to the Bahamas aboard Jim’s boat, Albatross, a Challenger 32.

Barbara Frasca has been sketching up and down the Atlantic seaboard aboard her sailboat, Misty. She has a BSA degree from the University of Hartford, and has taught studio and plein-air art courses for many years. A freelance artist, her art is represented in private and public collections.
