EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Marsh

L. Francis and maximizing minimalism

L.Francis Herreshoff, in his seminal “TheCommon Sense of Yacht Design,” publishedin 1974, challenges the editor of the old and

revered “Rudder” magazine to explain to its readersthe real point of cruising. If he would explain to us, L.Francis continued, that the object “is to make a com-plete change of surroundings, a change for eyes, earsand nose . . . he might make us understand why a cab-in should be very different from a city apartment; inshort, explain that you should not lug along what youare trying to leave behind.”This was written long before entertainment cen-

ters, satellite navigation, radar, desalinators, seago-ing laptops, wind generators, converters and the likebecame de rigeur on cruising boats, so Herreshoff ’swords might resonate even more today than they did40 years ago. But this is not why we’re addressingthis topic.No one enjoys a hot shower offshore, watching

“Caddy Shack” while off-watch, or listening to Enya’s“Aldabaran” while on-watch (of course, when far awayfrom land) under a night sky more than we do. Butthe idea of less-is-more intrigues us, and we espousethis philosophy in all of our outdoor pursuits. However, while we’ve been maniacally paring

ounces off our backpacks and bicycle loads, we stillthink we know where to draw the line. And we thinkwe found that line in its most eloquent form in a re-port from Kosatka (Killer Whale), the Open 70 TeamRussia entered in the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-09.Kosatka never made it to Boston in May with the restof the fleet, ostensibly due to lack of funds. But con-

sider this: Team Russia may have failed to reach portbecause it may have run out of eating utensils, all inthe name of less-is-more.“In the effort to keep the weight down someone

thought we only needed one spoon per person andthree spare spoons to get us to Cape Town in goodshape,” said the media crewmember, EnglishmanMark Covell. “After only three days at seas, we werefour spoons down. Lose your spoon, and life can getpretty extreme.” Move over Steve Callahan (“Adrift”)and Maurice and Marilyn Bailey (“117 Days Adrift”);you’re going to have company on the winter-seminarcircuit.L. Francis goes on to implore the editor of “Rudder”

to convince readers that there is more to life than“stomach, organs of reproduction and fear,” then sug-gests that younger readers will ask, “Well, what elseis there?” To which Herreshoff responds: a soul.“When the soul is present,” he wrote, “the person canget along with very little indeed . . . He can under-stand that a cabin can be built around something oth-er than a radio, a cocktail shaker and an icebox. Yes,a soul is the best shipmate you can have.” L. Francis avers that one either has a soul or does-

n’t – that there’s no middle ground. And, he writes,when one has no soul, “the body’s only interests areeating, drinking and lust.” Perhaps all Team Russia was lacking was a soul,

which could have inspired Kosatka’s crew to suck itup and share their spoons, craft new implements, oreat with their hands. Or maybe Team Russia reallydid run out of money.

Memories of a motorized life boatMy dad found one of these old Coast Guard boats

(see “Capt. Ron’s Lifeboat Cruises,” April 2009) on adock in Portland, Maine, not long after WWII. He paid$25 for it and another $300 to truck it to Bangor. Overtime he stripped the copper off the bottom along withone of the two layers of oak sheathing. The four-cylinder Sterling Petrol was replaced with

a six-cylinder Jimmy diesel. Eventually, the bow cab-in was converted to living space with bunks, drop-leaftable, sink, water supply, head and a Shipmate stove.It was quite liveable. He could not run the enginefaster than about 1200-1400 rpm because at higherrpm she would only squat down and not go faster.Eight knots was a good cruising speed, however. He kept her in the Penobscot in Bangor or at

Bayside in Northport. The photo shows her at anchorin Marshall’s Cove on Islesboro, where we often wentfor clambakes. Eventually he sold her, and she wentdownstate. There used to be a double-ender like hermoored in Wiscasset, but I don’t know if that was theChatham. Dad sold the boat, and I don’t know where it went.

I still have portholes, door latches, and other bronzehardware that I saved to incorporate into some proj-ect or another. The curb for the bow footwell nowcurbs my barn hydrant.I thought you might be interested in this little an-

ecdote. Maybe we’ll take a ride up next summer tolook at the MLB Surf Runner. By the way, what doesMLB stand for?

Ralph ClealeLimington, Maine

MLB stands for Motorized Life Boat, Ralph. Thanksfor the neat letter.

War, pig flu, Snyder: What’s left?News that Tom Snyder is quitting Points East as a

columnist hit hard. Is it not enough, Tom, for the restof us to cope with two wars, a busted economy and pig

flu? Tom’s prose is a mating of Gertrude Stein and W. C.

Fields, a one-night stand laced with self-deprecation.But I have a plan to deal with the bad news. I inviteTom to ghost write my column.

Chasing the dream of a ShieldsI grew up on Nantucket Sound sailing Wianno

Seniors and first saw an International One Designsail into Wianno when I was about six. Even at thatage, I fell in love with that style of boat – hard. AShields fleet appeared at the Edgartown Regattawhen I was 12, and I thought they were God’s owngift.Twenty-five years passed before I could consider

the luxury of our own sailboat. My cousin’s boss herein Boothbay Harbor had a Shields that frustratinglysat on its mooring all summer long. On the rare week-end, I’d see it way out on the horizon. I was deter-mined to get one for us.By chance, I was in Newport one fall day, and

nerved myself to walk out on the Ida Lewis pier tolook at a Shields tied at a float. The owner and hiscrew were readying her for a race. We chatted a bit,and they said they were waiting for anothercrewmember to arrive. Shortly thereafter, a cell-phone call revealed that

that crewmember couldn’t get to the harbor for somereason. They asked me to come along for “a fun after-noon” of sailing in the Candy Store Cup. I probablydon’t have to explain that event to you, but in anycase, it was a wild first ride on a Shields.On business in Chicago, I found that there was an

early Shields with the original deck and running rig-ging layout that had been stored away for about 30years. The owner wanted more than I could swing,but I kept tabs on the boat nonetheless. It sold toGibson Island, Md., where I saw her some years laterin a sadly unkempt state. Late in February a fewyears after that, I saw a “Soundings” ad for her, near-er by in Gloucester. The owner had spruced her up, putting an epoxy

barrier coat on the bottom and fresh Awlgrip on thetopsides. He’d moved on to PHRF racing and neededto sell the Shields. We struck a deal sight unseen,with the proviso that the boat be painted and over-board, ready to sail, in early April.My nephew is a naval aviator and former sailor on

the Naval Academy sailing team. He and I sailed theboat from Gloucester to Boothbay over three daysthrough snowstorms and flashes of lightning and glo-rious downwind spinnaker runs. We stayed in B&Bsalongshore each night of the four day-trip.The boat has been out front on our mooring each

summer for the past ten years and in the drivewayunder my bedroom window each winter. I say that anafternoon sail is better than a cocktail any day, notthat they are mutually exclusive.The other Shields in the harbor sold away when the

owner moved. I don’t know where. There’s one thatsails out of Portland and yet a third out of CenterHarbor on Eggemoggin Reach. I race (usually single-handed) in twice-weekly evening beer-can racesagainst J/22s and 24s, holding my own and winningfairly often even with the handicap and no spinnakerflying.But sailing around chasing cat’s -paws on a calm af-

ternoon is my greatest pleasure and the boat is per-fect for that. Here I am ghosting along the shore infront of our house just before turning to shoot themooring on just such a day.

Dave TewWest Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Editor’s note: Dave Tew is also this month’sMystery Harbor winner, and we asked him where andwhat he sailed. This is his wonderful answer.

We thought Buster was dead!I thought I’d just let you know we got the forklift,

started today. Hurrah. As we do every spring, we tookthe dash apart to check for those mice and don’t youknow, there were three of the little rats living inthere.Darn them! I had to evict them with my glove, and

then we blew out the nest with the air compressor.What a mess. Just imagine how those little buggersfind their way up inside the dash of the forklift andbuild a warm nest and roost there during the subzerotemps and snowstorms.

When we turned the key, Buster (we fondly refer tothe old Clarke as Buster) fired right up. A sure sign ofspring at the marina. Next will be the ducks and thegeese showing up. The weatherman is warning aboutrivers flooding. Let’s hope he’s got that predictionwrong.

Randy RandallMarston’s Marina

Saco, MaineRegarding Buster’s premature obit: Nah,

Buster’s transmission broke. As a business, we had totake a hard look at what we wanted to invest in. Garyand I visited some forklift dealers, and pretty quicklycame to the conclusion we’d be better off going withwhat we knew, namely Buster. So some six grand lat-er, we got the fork truck back and running. I don’tknow, we got 15 or 20 years out of it before that hap-pened. So we figure it’ll be good for another 20. Themechanics tell us the forklift will last forever. Maybethey’re right. Randy.

Foxwoods, chess and the MorganWas down at Foxwoods for a chess tournament and

squeezed in a visit to Mystic Seaport. Found theCharles W. Morgan up on the ways for a refit. Don’tknow if you have gotten photos of this, or possiblyeven printed some, but here’s one if you haven’t. Shesure is an impressive sight up there.

To the Sage of Quisset HarborDear Sage of Quisset Harbor,When I sailed into your harbor last June I thought

I would make a quick sandwich and be on my way.What I didn’t know was that that day I was to be test-ed, falter, and be set back on life’s course by your wisewords.I had owned Celest, my Pearson Wanderer, for five

days at that point and had just launched her the af-ternoon before. It had been an eventful day crossingBuzzards Bay from Marion with a thunderstormchasing me the whole way. I sailed into your harborwith a double reef in my main and a rolled-up jib, andwhen passing the No. 5 can, I dropped my sails andstarted up my old Atomic 4. That’s when my teststarted. Turns out the bilge vent hose crossed a bit too close

to the coupling for the prop shaft. As soon as I put theengine in gear, the coupling caught the vent hose and

wrapped its entire length of stiffening wire aroundthe shaft. In an eight-foot hose, that’s probably 100feet of wire. I drifted over to one of your moorings,picked it up, and went below to survey the damage.Yup, 100 feet of wire wrapped tightly around my pro-peller shaft right up against my stuffing box. Thatwas the beginning of the test. I needed that engine to get through the canal, but

couldn’t risk the wire ripping out the stuffing box andCelest sinking. I worked, chest on the engine’s cylin-der head, first with dikes (wire cutters), then with ahacksaw. Neither was making much of a dent. The en-gine was hot, it was dark back there, and all my oldjoints hurt. I hacked and hacked and seemed to getnowhere, and that was when I faltered. I gave up, Iquit, and I remembered from years ago that at thehead of Quissett Harbor there was a boatyard. Yes, Icould take the easy way out and hire a pro to fix myproblem.

We own the boat on May’s coverThe photo on your May cover was taken in

Boothbay Harbor in 2006 near Boothbay HarborShipyard. The boat’s name is Susan Elizabeth, andshe resides in Linekin Bay during the summer and isstored in the owner’s barn in East Boothbay in thewinter. Before she was brought up to East Boothbay,she resided in Barrington, R.I., and beforeBarrington, she was somewhere in New York orConnecticut.The boat was built by the Landing School in 1988-

89. The bottom is comprisedof two layers of cedar andone layer of mahogany, alllaminated. The rest of theboat is traditionally planked(carvel) mahogany on oaksawn frames with bronzebolts and screws. The deck ismarine plywood with a can-vas and epoxy covering. The Landing School built

only two of these boats, andboth now reside in theBoothbay area. The sister boat is white with dieselpower and is moored at the Boothbay Harbor YachtClub.The Susan Elizabeth is 26 or 27 feet long with a 10-

foot beam. She is powered by a new Crusader 350(Chevy block) with 330-horsepower. The steering ishydraulic with an override for the tiller. There aretwo sets of throttle controls, so the boat can be drivenfrom the front or rear.She is an Eldridge-McInnis design, the same de-

signer as the Yorel, a Hodgdon-built boat that wasdocked for years directly to the port of where the cov-er shot was taken. This design is not a native Maine boat or lobster

picnic boat. They were designed as “bass” boats – not

the ones you see on the highway with a 300-horse-power outboard and sparkling paint, but those forfishing for stripers along the New England Coast. Thedesign was primarily built by Brownell boats, and theBrownell-built boats are very similar to the SusanElizabeth though the topside construction is a littledifferent. Brownell also built a variety of sizes. I have heard

– and I take this with a grain of salt – that the SusanElizabeth was built to the exact design Eldridge dic-tated.Currently the design lives on as the Fortier 26, built

in Fall River, Mass. Fall River also produced, (in myopinion) the best-looking bass boat called theMackenzie Cuttyhunker, which is of lapstrake con-struction and has a bit narrower beam in the stern.These boats were built up to 1972.The owners of Susan Elizabeth are Joe and Susan

Seymour, who live in Glenmont, N.Y. I am their son,Chris Seymour, a very junior partner whose monetaryequity is small but whose sweat equity is highly cap-italized. We do all the work ourselves in a barn inEast Boothbay.

So I rowed to your dock and wandered into youryard. At first, I didn’t get that you were an enlight-ened one; you just seemed like an interesting manclose to my own age who owned a cool boatyard. Butas we talked, I realized how mistaken I had been: Iwas in the presence of a true sage.You were kind, patient and listened to my tale of

woe, but when I foolishly came out with my notionthat perhaps someone could get me out of my predica-ment, you quickly set me straight. You told me, “I cansee you’re a sailor; you know what to do, and youknow you have to do it, so row back to your boat andget it done.”Those simple words set me straight, got me back on

track, pulled me out of some sort of middle-age lethar-

gy in which I believed a sailor could buy his way outof his troubles. Of course, you were right. And as yousent me off to my dinghy, you even gave me a can ofyour sacred PBR beer to speed my enlightenment. Irowed back to Celest, my spirits elevated, andcrammed myself back into that engine room andhacked and snipped for three hours. When I was done, my arms were scratched raw, I

couldn’t stand up, and my neck was in spasm. But Ihad done the job. Next morning, I sailed out of yourfine harbor and headed for Maine with a new com-mitment to life on the water and a renewed sense ofwhat it is to be a sailor. Thank you.

It looks like the view fromFive Islands Harbor acrossthe Sheepscot River fromHendricks Head onSouthport Island. If it is thatlocation, the telephoto lensmakes it look like a narrow-er river than it seems whenyou’re out there.I make a point of taking

my mother-in-law (age 90)and her sister-in-law (age102) to the lobster shack(www.fiveislandslobster.com)over to Five Islands at leastonce a summer in their boat,a 25-foot Lyman hardtop. Weall live in West BoothbayHarbor and pass throughTownsend Gut and Newagenharbor on the loop, thusmaking a whole day of it. Last year, we snaked through the eastern cut at

Newagen on an extremely low tide and saw the fullmoon rise over Monhegan as we cruised on home.The eastern shore of Georgetown Island is a won-

derful stretch of the Sheepscot River. A day’s cruisethrough the tide races of the Sasanoa, through GooseRock Passage, behind MacMahan Island, throughFive Islands, past Harmon Harbor to Griffith Head,and then to Seguin offers the full range of sights andnavigational challenges along the Maine coast. Theseinclude deep water mixed with narrow passages,marked and unmarked ledges, and hundreds of lob-ster buoys (some pulled just under the surface by thecharging current). But the rewards include hiddencoves, eagle and osprey nests, seals, porpoise, whales,

Five Islands has a summer community island thatis just to the right of the frame in the photo. Friendsspend part of their summer over there, and the reston Southport. There are many such communitiesalong this stretch of coast, including MacMahan,Capitol, Squirrel and Inner Heron. The island residents have their own float next to

Five Islands’ public one. Anyone can tie up at the pub-lic one while getting a meal or ice cream, but leave asmuch room for others as possible. If there no room atthe lobster shack, Sarah’s Cafe has had a docksidelunch counter farther upstream between Five Islandsand MacMahan that’s nice, too.There are fuel docks and services available in Five

That’s the start of the Seguin raceI think with a little effort I might be able to give you

a date and time of the photo, but if I’m not mistakenthat’s the start of the Seguin Island Trophy Race (it’sa Saturday, not the Sunday pursuit) taken from FiveIslands looking into the Sheepscot River, Maine. FiveIslands has a wonderful little classic Maine lob-ster/clam shack restaurant, but try to avoid dusk asthe bugs at bug hour are the fiercest I’ve encounteredin the entire State of Maine. The Seguin IslandTrophy Race has recently been awarded theHospitality Award and Best Run Regatta by the Gulfof Maine Ocean Racing Association, and it’s one of thebest regattas on the coast of Maine.

Oh Susan, you were so close!The Mystery Harbor in the May 2009 Points East is

Ebencook Harbor, west of the Townsend Gut, home ofthe Boothbay Region Boatyard. Two long ledges makeout from the land into the harbor, thus dividing theharbor into three coves. The western and center covesare shown in the photo. The photographer is in thecenter cove, looking west. Seals like to bask on those ledges. Just to the east

is the third cove, Love Cove, one of my favorite an-chorages on the Maine coast. Before GPS it was trickyto enter, but now it is easier. It is snug in a blow fromthe southwest.

Susan GilpinFalmouth, Maine

Susan, you are soooo close – only a mile and a halfaway – and we see why you identified the Mystery har-bor photo as you did. Hint: The Mystery Harbor is tothe southwest of your guess.

Telephoto lens distorted imageI’m not confident on this, but it sure looks like FiveIslands – the ledge and the moorings. But the distantshore looks too close for the body of water to be theSheepscot. But I thought it was worth a stab.

My annual fitting-out advisory

Since boat owners can be sorted intotwo categories – those who do theirown fitting out and those who pay oth-

ers to do it – we should review some role def-initions for this spring ritual. Counselingthe do-it-yourselfers is the easiest. Never carry tools to your first spring visit

to the boat – not a jackknife or even a fin-gernail clipper – because no boat will wel-come casual use of sharp devices. Bring aflask filled with rum and some stale crack-ers. Quickly remove the boat cover and do so

without caressing the hull. Find a seat ofcontemplation far enough away from theboat to see her beauty yet blur out any fin-ish flaws. Uncap the flask and repeatedly toast to thepoetry of boats and the sea.While rumming it up, mentally organize a set of

easily forgettable fitting-out priorities and establishrelated launch date options, ranging from an over-op-timistic June through a probable August.When suitably buzzed, replace the boat cover and

immediately contact the anticipatedcrewmembers, who will be counted onto actually perform the fitting-outwork, to regale them with the boatsand sea poetry somehow slipping inwork-assignment proposals.Advice for the boatyard-dependent

owner is not so simple because thekey objective is bonding with the yardworkforce. This is the time of yearboatyard workers are treated to theyearly return of the boat owners, a mi-gration not unlike the annual returnof the comedians to sunbelt nightspots. Those who possess a boat, of course, too often ex-

hibit the arrogance of ownership, a momentary atti-tude of vacant superiority causing them to deliver or-ders out of ignorance. They see the yard workforce asa bunch of anti-social screwballs who have beencooped up and ignored in dark and dusty places formonths, now out in the sunlight and over-anxious toplease. But the workforce evaluates boat owners fortheir capacity to employ their ignorance and arro-gance to entertain. The owners who best fill this en-

tertainment role will find themselvesand their boats most appreciated andearn them a license for a wide range ofaberrant behavior. My favorite ownerrole is the yard’s unpredictable eccentric.Here are some possibilities: Invent a series of intimidating profes-

sions for yourself and give them engag-ing job titles, one day an Undercover IRSAgent, another day a Flatulationist, anActual-size Roadmap Designer, a FreckleSurgeon.Visit the yard often at random times.

Bound around the yard like a vibrantcheerleader dispensing advice and cri-tique of work under way.

Refer to individual workers with nicknames of yourown invention. Or if you cannot remember names ofany type, use one common name given to everybody,like Horatio or Moose. Replace boatyard jargon with Freudian language

and boat-part names with female anatomy words.Sporadically burst into song, favoring sea chanteys,

the bawdier the better. Occasionallyfor yard wanders, don theatrical garband read from a volume of “Sayings ofChairman Mao.”Treat the yard accountant with ex-

tra-special attention, sending weeklytreats such as nips of coffee brandyand tubes of hemorrhoid cream. Build a covert and remotely actuat-

ed affair with the bookkeeper, nomatter the gender, composed of ex-plicitly sexual love notes. Sign yourchecks with engaging names not your

own: Obama, Captain Bligh, Dolly Parton, JoshSlocum. In the lower left space on your checks meant for

payment identification, write “for sexual services pro-vided.”Do not fret if you are fired as a customer. There is

always another boatyard – or you could take on thefitting out yourself.

My plan to go sailing for scienceCruising: to sail about on a pleasure trip.to travel about without a particular purpose or

destination.

Ispent last evening engaged in pre-sea-son planning about as antithetical tothe normal objectives of Maine coast

cruising as I ever contemplated. I was lay-ing out courses with waypoints on aboutten mile intervals running well offshoreand generally along the 50 fathom curve. Iintend to sail an exact track to every oneof the 30 points and stop briefly.Diversions and delays will be dictated on-ly by safety and not by comfort or conven-ience. We’ll be going foreign and down into the

Bay of Fundy where Gordon Bok warns,“All you Maine men, young and proud…”not to go. Well, I’m neither young nor proud and eventhough we’ll be going into the mouth of one of themost intimidating bays on earth at the beginning ofthe non stop fog season, that’s where our purpose willtake us.My son is young, though, and I’m proud of him, so I

went to Hamilton Marine with heavy heart and lightwallet to lay the plastic down for a radar set forStrider. I’ve gotten along quite well without it on thecoast of Maine as I’m comfortable slipping along closeto the rocks and ledges where the fast movers don’tventure. I realized though that having my son aboardout in the open waters with Fundy’s wet concrete-likefog thick around us would be a very different propo-sition.The purpose of this unusual sailing adventure

started with my son. He graduates from high schoolthis spring and gets the last two weeks to do a seniorproject that can be independent study or a work in-ternship. Summer jobs and college will make sailingtogether rare and precious so I started scheming as tohow we could spend these two weeks on the boat. Icontacted oceanographic institutions in the area andasked if there were any useful water sampling stud-ies that could be conducted from a 32-foot sailboat.The answer was much more interesting than I ex-pected and Mike’s advisor approved the project. Mikewill be the scientist on this trip and responsible for allthe data collection and logging. I’ll just be getting himwhere he needs to go and, more important, gettinghim back.It is commonly accepted that the oceans absorb car-

bon dioxide and serve as one of the major counterbal-

ances to our excess production of it. The water chem-istry studies to confirm this have never been con-ducted in the Gulf of Maine, however. There are some

trends in the little sampling that has beendone to indicate that the gulf might actu-ally be giving off CO2. This would be verybad news from the global warming stand-point but an important thing to know. Itturns out that the equipment require-ments to gather the necessary data areminimal enough that the work can be con-ducted from a sailboat and the investiga-tors at the University of New HampshireCoastal Carbon Group are quite excited atthe prospect of having this data handed tothem instead of having to write grants andwait for approvals and funding to spendmany thousands of dollars having a regu-lar research vessel cover the route.Even if we make the entire cruise under

power (Strider can now carry enough fuel to covernearly the whole 450 mile route at 5 knots), we willonly burn about a third of the fuel that the smallestconventional research vessel would consume.Whatever we learn, there will be less carbon in theGulf of Maine when we return with the data thanthere might have been. Sometime in August, I’ll begoing back and repeating the exact route to find outhow the measurements change with time and riveroutflow.We will be carrying 30 sample bottles and a small

CTD. The latter is a self-contained instrument a littleover two feet long and six inches in diameter thatmeasures conductivity (saltiness), temperature, anddepth when lowered about 100 feet over the side on aline. This will profile these characteristics in the topof the water column wherever we sample. The surfacewater will be put into a bottle with a few drops of pre-servative and we’ll be off to the next sampling sta-tion.

Our cruise plan is as follows:Thursday May 21: Portland to Isle of Springs – 32 nm.Friday May 22: Overnight to Cows Yard, Head Harbor Island – 115 nm.Saturday May 23: to Roque Island – 16 nm. Exploring daySunday May 24: Lay Day – 23 nm.Monday May 25: to Cutler – 25 nm.Tuesday May 26: to North Head, Grand Manan – 32 nm.

Someone’s been sleeping in my bed

The most embarrassing thing thathas ever happened to you? Go ahead,name it. But you won’t top this:

Actually, the absolute King of AllEmbarrassing Moments was witnessednot by me, but by my boss the year I wasthe captain of his 58-foot wooden schoonerin Marblehead. But first, a little about himand the vessel. He was a great guy, butabove all he was probably the most un-flappable man I ever met. I remember himvividly, sitting casually at the helm of hisgreat schooner, engaged intently in con-versation with several guests, a gin andtonic in one hand, a couple of fingers of theother resting on a spoke of the big teakwheel, all while taking this huge vesselwith her long bowsprit all the way to the head ofcrowded, tiny Manchester Harbor. I was his “captain,” but he was the owner, so I sim-

ply crouched quietly by the bitts at the bow, bit mytongue and held my breath, as the 10-foot bowspritwhisked past the sterns and bows of several mooredboats, missing each and every one by only inches. Noone was ever sure if my boss just had an uncannysense of the control of his big yacht, or he was just

plum lucky every time. But he alwaysmissed. He seemed such a carefree man, living

for the moment, and never the moment af-ter. One day, back on the mooring, as helooked down into the engine room, he said,“Say, Chief, why don’t you give that big-oldengine a coat of paint tomorrow. It’s allgray and black and greasy. And paint itwhite this time so it’s really shiny.” When I replied that that was fine, but it

would take two days to do it and he’d missan extra sailing day, he asked me why thetwo days. I replied that it would take meone day of prep to degrease and scrape it,and one day to paint. “I don’t want to misstwo days of sailing,” he said. “What will

happen if you just paint it, just spray the thing white,nice and thick and pretty?” Well, I told him, the paint will fall off. “How soon?”

he asked. I told him I didn’t know how soon, but even-tually it would. “Eventually? What’s eventually? Everything that

happens happens eventually. No, just paint it,” hesaid emphatically. “I’ll probably be dead before thepaint comes off anyway, and this way I won’t miss an

DavidRoper


extra day of sailing.” Anyway, you get the idea about this unflappable

man and his living for the moment. Which brings meback to that really, really embarrassing, award-win-ning moment. I’ll set the scene: My boss lived in ahuge house right next-door to one of the big yachtclubs in Marblehead. It had a long front porch, greatfoyer with ship models, and a big, winding staircaseleading up to the second floor, where the hallway ledto several bedrooms, including the guest room. In fact,it was very similar to the front entrance area of theyacht club next door. One summer an out-of-town couple came to visit

friends who were members of this club. The hosts hadarranged for the couple to stay in one of the hotelrooms at the yacht club. That evening, they all haddinner and drinks at the host’s house, and when theevening wound down, the visitors asked for directionsto the yacht club, which was only a quarter-mile away. The hosts offered to take them and show them the

way in, but the guests declined, saying it was late, toomuch trouble, and they could find their way easilyenough. The hosts gave them the simple street direc-tions, detailed the yacht club’s entrance, the shipmodels, the foyer and the staircase. “The rooms aren’tnumbered,” they said, but just go in the front, up thestaircase, and your room is the first door on the right.”

The visitors said they would be fine, got in theirrental car, and headed for the yacht club. Though theyfollowed directions carefully, they didn’t get it quiteright, and instead entered my boss’s house, whereeveryone was asleep, but the big front porch and foy-er were well lit and the front door not locked. Quietly, suitcases in hand, they made their way up

the stairs and opened the door to the first room on theright. It was a nicely made-up guestroom, and, likeGoldilocks, they fell into a bed that was just right,and they had a lovely sleep. In the morning, theymade their way downstairs, suitcases in hand, and in-to the foyer. Looking around, they spied a man (my boss) sitting

alone at a large table in a large dining room adjacentto the foyer. His housekeeper, dressed in white, wasserving him something. “Excuse me, is this where wesit to get some breakfast?” the wife of the coupleasked, putting down her suitcase.My boss looked up from his breakfast, cocked his

head, studied the two as one might look at a wild newabstract painting, took a sip of his coffee, and said:“Well, I don’t know who you are, or what you’re doingin my house, but what the hell, since you’re here, youmight as well sit down and have some grub.” Go ahead, top that moment. I dare you.Dave Roper sails out of Marblehead, Mass.

Member-maintained “working” yacht clubsDISPATCHES/News f rom our obser ver s

By Carol StandishFor Points East

If you’re seeking evidence of the proverb, “Manyhands make light work,” then check out your localyacht club. Not all such boating organizations putthis maxim into play, but a sufficient number do, andwe thought we’d introduce a handful of New Englandboating clubs for whom volunteerism and teamworkare the names of the game from spring through fall –and often all winter long.North Cove Yacht Club in Old Saybrook, Conn.,

qualifies as a “working” club, according toCommodore Hugh Hunsinger. “It’s a loose arrange-ment of do it your-selfers,” he says. “The club evolvedthrough the effort of volunteers. The launch driverand the steward are the only paid employees.”According to the club history, “The first organiza-

tional meeting of the North Cove Yacht Club was heldat the Old Saybrook Town Hall in March of

1969. Sixty-six individuals responding favorably toan invitation to membership prior to the meetingwere designated charter members. In 1970, two tractsof land were purchased by the founders for subse-quent sale to the club.”Over the years, a fine facility has been built for the

enjoyment of the club members by the efforts of thosemembers who continue to maintain the physicalplant themselves. Hunsinger says that anyone suc-cessful enough to own a boat was welcome until themembership reached a maximum number. When Hunsinger put in a mooring in 1975, the club

Each session will pro-vide instruction for both beginners and intermediatesailors…students in the intermediate class will be en-couraged to sail in the junior racing program onMonday evenings throughout the six week program.”FMI: www.northcoveyc.org.A work party was in full swing when I called

Wickford Yacht Club in Wickford, R.I., on a recentSaturday morning. I could hearthe conversations of the membersas they jovially leaned into thespring clean-up. Steward MattBrowne filled me in. The club was started in 1963,

and was originally located on abarge tied up to Gardner’s Wharf.It had been offered rent-free bythe owner, F.T.P. Plimpton. Thefact that the barge was leakingbadly and needed a lot of work did-n’t faze the original 26 club mem-bers. The group was comprised ofpeople with a variety of skills andjob backgrounds…people who worked in finance, con-struction and so on. “They actually built a cabin onthat old barge,” says Browne.The barge was eventually moved to the Wickford

Ship Yard, where it finally sank. Undaunted, themembers rented space at the yard, a small building

which had been an oyster cache. Over the years, theproperty has been handsomely transformed. “We allpitch in together,” says Browne. “We’ve added an up-per level to the original building, a patio, ramps,docks.”Today the club works through a board of governors

which meets monthly. A member-at-large gathersopinions from the membership about projects and pri-

orities. Once approved, the rele-vant committee sets to the task.Judging from the din in the back-ground, most of the clubs 160members had shown up to lendtheir talents on the morning Italked with Steward Browne.FMI: www.wickfordyc.orgDorchester Yacht Club inDorchester, Mass., is my fa-vorite sight on the trip down theSoutheast Expressway out ofBoston. The shipshape and com-pact clubhouse and the expansivedocks are a beacon of order and ci-

vility to those of us careening by who have an eye forwatery activity. The club was originally organized in 1870 when

Dorchester was quite rural. A club history written inthe 1951 describes the area as having “country lanes”and “pretty villas.” The clubhouse originally stood in

“We all pitch in together.We’ve added an upperlevel to the originalbuilding, a patio, ramps,docks.”

the way of the planned expressway. In the mid-1950s,it was floated on a barge to its present location andperched on the foundation of a former bandstand. Bob Mirabito is a third-generation member, a cur-

rent board member, and past com-modore. He says, “The whole idea ofthe Dorchester Yacht Club is tomake boating affordable for theworking man.” The membership is full of people

with diverse skills and talents.Mirabito is justly proud of all theimprovements made by club mem-bers, especially the scope of workthey have accomplished in the past three years.“Together we’ve replaced all floats, rebuilt all mainpiers and paid to have pilings replaced. We’re in theprocess of stripping the old shingles and replacingthem with architectural vinyl siding, and we’re alsopursuing dredging.” The club has 72 outboard floats which accommo-

date boats larger than 21 feet LOA, and 90 floats forsmaller boats. “We used to be a sailing club,” saysMirabito, but after the Beads Bridge went in onMorrissey Boulevard, sailboats couldn’t get out intoopen water.Two hundred and sixty dues-paying families enjoy

the generous facilities of DYC. Besides the extensivewater front docks and floats, the club provides private

gear lockers, and the clubhouse, with a full galley, canaccommodate up to 325 people. Mirabito cooks for thecrew just about every Wednesday night. The menu forthe ’09 season’s opening night includes salad, an-

tipasto sirloin tips, sausage, pep-pers and onions, chicken fingers,buffalo tenders, roasted pot oftoes, beer, wine, and mixeddrinks. Yum! FMI: http://dorch-esteryachtclub.weebly.com/According to its members,

Great Bay Yacht Club inWentworth Terrace, N.H., isthe most unpretentious club in

existence. They may well be right. The club was es-tablished in the spring of 1954. “A group of sailorsgathered with a simple purpose: to organize and pro-vide rules for racing this summer on Great Bay, orother places designated. Races were held eachSunday afternoon at the State Pier.” In 1959, the founders purchased the two waterfront

lots in Wentworth Terrace. GBYC members celebrat-ed the 50th anniversary of the club on that propertyin 2008. Facilities include a porta-potty and a storageshed. “The porta-potty is the most popular part of theproperty,” says long time member, Wally Johnson.“It seems back in the old days,” says Johnson, “that

Ned McIntosh built a 14-foot wooden sailing dinghy, aMerri-Mac, in his barn.” And he kept on building

“The porta-potty is themost popular part of theproperty.”

them, and soon there was a little fleet and the clubwas able to fulfill its mission of sailboat racing onGreat Bay. “Dues started at $10,” John says. “Today,they’re $275, and every bit of it goes to taxes and in-surance.” Although the days of wooden sailboats are long

gone, the club is still pretty active. GBYC hosts a cou-ple of Laser regattas, spring and fall. Twenty-five to30 Lasers come from as far away as Connecticut. Theclub has guest moorings at Adams Point, the Isles ofShoals, and off the club property in the bay. Membershold an annual “docks-in” party and cookout.“We have simple docks and a simple parking lot, we

keep it simple,” says Johnson. “Membership is limit-ed, by invitation only. Every once in a while we getsome member who wants a grand and glorious club-house. We tell them about the clubs downriver, andsooner or later they wander off in that direction.”FMI: www.greatbayyachtclub.org/index.htmlMy own home club, Arundel Yacht Club on the riv-

er in Kennebunkport. Maine, also celebrated its50th anniversary last year. As founding member BobBadger tells it, there was (and still is) a venerable oldclub down the river, but its members were mostlywell-to-do summer people, and we were poor aschurch mice. “We needed a club where we could af-ford to teach our kids how to sail. There were elevenof us and we met in each others’ living rooms to dis-cuss options. “The first and cheapest thing we did was to put a

ladder over the side of the Arundel Wharf [that waswhen it was a working wharf, not the restaurant it istoday]. The ladder cost ten dollars. Then we bought afloat. Our assets jumped to $110. Then a wealthy la-dy, Mrs. Julia Fuller, who owned the Lord mansionand the lots in front of it all the way to the river, of-fered to sell us the piece on the water and the build-ing that was on it. “The building was an old rope walk [used to wind

rigging rope for the lines of sailing vessels]. And wedidn’t have that money either. We eventually boughtthe property for about fifteen thousand dollars andmanaged to pay off the loan in three years, but westill had a problem – no deep water. HusseyManufacturing built a 360-foot pier. We put in thepilings ourselves, and that solved our problem untilthe wharf blew down. It blew down several times, ac-tually, and we gave up on it and left the floats in themud. Eventually, we raised the money to dredge.”AYC raced wooden dinghies in the old days, too.

They were called Chickadees, built by local boat-builder Booth Chick. Crocker 20s, Lightnings andIndians all raced together. The junior sailing pro-gram is thriving today using Optis and 420s. Thefounders have accomplished their goal and thensome. And dues are way less than the club down theriver. FMI: www.arundelyachtclub.org.

Not those islands; we’re talking about our islands, Martha’s Vineyard andNantucket, and Joel had his sons and cousin for crew.

Story and photos by Joel GleasonFor Points East

While I was planning my Maine destinationswith my son, Randy, for our 2008 cruise, hesuddenly blurted out, “Hey, Dad, let’s go to

Nantucket this time! I’ve never been there.” Hey, whynot. My second cousin from Arizona, Cody, had just re-turned from serving with the Marines in Iraq, and he

signed on for Muscobe’s unlikely cruise to the south. The day before our July 26 departure, we stocked

up with trail mix, fruit and snacks, water and ice, andthat night Randy and Cody slept aboard. We had ourtraditional pre-cruise breakfast at The Driftwood,Marblehead’s favorite (pardon the expression,Marion) “greasy spoon,” and we idled out pastMarblehead Light and turned south for the Cape Cod

“The kids build the boat...the boat builds the kids”

Canal in perfect weather, a lightsouthwesterly rippling the water. TheBoston skyline stood out clearly to ourwest as Muscobe steamed along at 17knots, her most efficient cruise speed.At around noon, the stacks of the

power plant on the canal came intoview, and after just three hours ofsteaming, we entered the canal andpulled into Sandwich Marina for fuel.Off the water, there was no wind, andit was deathly hot. We were quite un-comfortable, except for Cody, who, af-ter a year in Iraq and a lifetime inArizona, couldn’t understand what wewere fussing about. We took on justunder 31 gallons, which calculatedout at 9.6 gallons per hour.The tide was against us in the

canal, and the current is quite strong,but finally we passed under theBourne Bridge and turned in behindEnterprise, Mass. Maritime Academy’s training ship,where Randy’s brother, JP, was waiting to have lunchwith us. JP is a student and ensign at the academyand was working down there for the summer. He andCody hit it off immediately, and the boys decided itwould be great if JP took the ferry out to meet us on

Nantucket later. We slipped out past Enterprise, where the current

grabbed Muscobe and threw her out into the Hog

Joel’s cousin Cody and his son Randy appear to be feelingtheir oats in Edgartown Harbor − most likely heading intotown if the message on Randy’s T-shirt is any indication.

proached the Elizabeth Islandsand headed for Quicks Hole, anarrow pass betweenNashawena and Pasque islands. Once through into Vineyard

Sound, I switched to the port fu-el tank, and shortly afterwardsour trusty Yanmar expired. Ihadn’t drawn from this tank yetthis season, so I immediatelysuspected either water or algaein the fuel. We switched back tothe starboard tank, and I lookedat the remote fuel filter. Sureenough, the “glass” at the bottomwas full of black goo – algae. Ihad put enzyme fuel conditionerin the tank the previous fall, butthe amount recommended by themanufacturer is sometimes in-sufficient.We limped into Menemsha at

the western end of the Vineyard,the peaceful town of Amity in themovie “Jaws.” It’s a quiet littleanchorage with a tight openingleading into Menemsha Pond.There’s a Coast Guard stationthere and a few moorings, and

Off the water, therewas no wind, and itwas deathly hot. Wewere quite uncom-fortable, except forCody, who, after ayear in Iraq and alifetime in Arizona,couldn’t understandwhat we were fussingabout.

several draggers were tied alongsidethe pier where the Harbormaster’s of-fice and fuel dock are located. Severaltiny one-room shacks were on pilingsalong the shore of the harbor. Many ofthese have been fixed up quite nicely,with Hinkleys tied alongside, and I’mtold they go for well over a million dol-lars when they’re available for sale.Inside the breakwater are several slips,one of which was assigned to us.I swung Muscobe around stern-to and

carefully backed her between the pil-ings, instructing Randy and Cody to goforward and get lines around each ofthem. Finally, after much fiddling andrearranging of lines and springlines, thecaptain was satisfied, and we all re-laxed. The boys set out to do a little ex-ploring, and they were a bit disappoint-ed, I think, to find out just how quietand peaceful Menemsha really is. It had been my plan to fuel up here, as

I didn’t want to buy diesel in Nantucketwhere it’s much more expensive. Butnow I couldn’t, as I had to burn off asmuch of this bad fuel as possible first. Iwasn’t sure just how I was going to ap-

proach this problem, but the sunwas going down, turning every-thing that wonderful afternoonyellow-gold, so I poured myself a“corner” and decided to worryabout it the next day. That nightwe had a nice rainstorm, the firstrain Cody had seen in over a year.The pitter-patter of the drops onthe overhead made it easy to fallasleep. At 0930 the next morning,

Muscobe idled out past the break-water under mostly cloudy skieswith little wind. I was apprehen-sive about our fuel situation, so Ikept our rpm down to about 2000or so, or nine knots. The clouds be-gan to burn off as we made thelong leg northeast toward WestChop and East Chop at VineyardHaven. We could see a few ferriesin the distance, making their wayfrom Woods Hole and Hyannisacross the sound towardEdgartown and Nantucket, and wepassed a couple of sportfishermentrolling for blues and stripers.The going was smooth until we

rounded East Chop and turnedmore southeast into open water.Nantucket Sound is shallow, andthe wind and tide run in all direc-tions, so it can get lumpy. And itgot lumpy. Soon we were takinggreen water over the bow, whichsmashed over the windshields andran down the decks. We were in anasty chop, with spindrift blowingoff the tops of the waves, which al-ternately lifted Muscobe, thensmashed her down into thetroughs.We left the Vineyard behind and

began to see the long, low coast ofthe island of Nantucket. But be-fore we could turn south towardNantucket proper, we had to passTuckernuck Shoal, a long shallowarea I was afraid to cut across, asthe chart shows less than five feetin some areas, and in these swells,we could have easily bottomed out.The locals know this area well andtraverse it regularly, but I was notabout to take a chance with

Muscobe’s four-foot draft.Eventually, we made the green

bell marking the end of the shoaland turned south, aiming for thechurch steeple on the last six-mileleg into Nantucket. At a little be-fore 1300, we passed Brant PointLight, and idled into the fuel dockat Nantucket Boat Basin, wherewe took on ice and 36 gallons ofdiesel fuel at the princely price of$7 per gallon. After registeringwith the dockmaster, we were as-signed our slip on the far side of

the marina, right in among thecharter fishing fleet.As we left the fuel dock and

headed for our slip, a gorgeous an-tique wooden Trumpy with whitetopsides, bright superstructure,and plenty of brass and gold leaf,was slipping alongside the pilingsnext to the opening – no mean featin these tight quarters for a largeyacht without a bow thruster. Ourfuel problem was still unsolved,but we were safe and secure in thevillage of Nantucket.

Cody and Randy wanted to see the town, so we wentashore and began to wander those historical streetsmade from the ballast stones of the old whaling fleet.It was midsummer, and Nantucket was jumping.Cody and Randy were having the time of their lives,but I was thinking about the tranquility of Rockport,Pulpit Harbor, Stonington and Corea.JP arrived on the ferry from Hyannis,

so the boys explored some more while Ireturned to the boat. As the afternoonprogressed, the charter boats began toreturn to their slips. A beautiful Wesmac,about 45 feet long, with a huge tuna tow-er slipped in next to us. Then a Carolinasportfisherman, Absolute, backed in onher starboard side. Her captain, Brian,said, “That’s a nice little Downeast rigyou have there. How do you like her?”“Right now I hate her,” I answered. I

explained my fuel algae problem, and hewas immediately went below in his boatand produced a case of fuel filters, but hedidn’t have the one we needed. We wentto the chandlery, and then another ma-rine store, with no success. But Brian in-troduced me to his mechanic, Jim Kelley,who said he could fix me up in no time.He had a device he’d thrown together that he called a“fuel polisher,” with three fuel filters and a pump, andhe said he’d be over the next day to fix things. As we’d had a late lunch, fruit and trail mix was

sufficient for supper. The boys wanted to go out on thetown, which was fine with me as my mood was not go-ing to improve until I got my fuel situation remedied.I turned in and slept soundly.Nantucket Boat Basin may be expensive, but it’s a

first-rate operation. The marina is large enough tohandle many boats (our slip number was 1022), and itcan accommodate yachts of almost any size. There arenumerous heads and showers at strategic locations,and I didn’t have to walk far to find one next morn-ing. It was a bright and sunny day, with the promiseof very warm temperatures. At 0900 we went to the ferry dock to meet my

friend, Al Cristofori, with whom I’ve made numerouscruises aboard Muscobe over the years. He’s retired,living in Chatham, and had come out on the fast fer-ry from Hyannis to spend the day with us. Once wefound him, we walked up Main Street to Arno’s for agreat breakfast.Then we decided to visit the Whaling Museum,

which had recently been refurbished with generousdonations from the island residents. The air-condi-tioned museum was a refreshing respite from the ex-tremely hot day. We sauntered through the sidestreets of the old town for a while, then someone sug-

gested going to the beach. I returned to the boatalone, still grumpy over my mechanical/fuel problemsand in no mood to go frolicking. Jimmy showed up a little after 1600 and went to

work. He inserted a hose into the tank and turned onhis “fuel polisher,” a pump which drew the fuel up and

through three individual fuel filters, passing it into alarge plastic drum. This done, he then reversed theflow and pumped the now-clean fuel back into theboat. I’d been unable to find the correct fuel filter toreplace the one on the engine, but I did have a spareremote, and once he got the new filter on, I began tofeel much better about getting home. Once we gotthings cleaned up, I paid him his fee, which amount-ed to my paying for the fuel twice, but I didn’t mind.It’s all part of boating. That night, I listened to“Sketches of Maine” with a “corner” as I programmeda new route into the GPS.To get safely around Tuckernuck Shoal, you must

go north for six miles before you can turn west backtoward the Vineyard. I’d seen ferries turn immediate-ly after clearing the breakwater and go insideTuckernuck, so I asked some of the charter captainsabout it. They said it was possible, and it shortenedthe distance to Martha’s Vineyard by quite a bit, butyou had to be careful not to get too close tooTuckernuck. So using my paper charts and the GPSplotter, I input waypoints westward from the break-water at Nantucket, inside Tuckernuck Shoal, andthen out to the entrance to Edgartown Harbor.Next morning we showered and walked up Main

Street for breakfast – this time at the Even Keel.

The really nice thing about one of Joel’s famous “corners”is that it can be savored on a jetty, like Menemsha’s, justas well as from the cockpit of a boat.

SPRING FISHINGfrom the lakes to Long Island Sound

We have a boat for you!

After breakfast westopped in at the dock-master’s office to pick upmy Nantucket Boat Basincanvas bag before castingoff and slipping out theharbor. It was another hotday, but once clear of thebreakwater it was com-fortable. We were rarely indepths over 30 feet, andoften we slipped betweenshoals where it dropped toa mere eight or 10 on ei-ther side of us, eventhough we were a gooddistance offshore. It wascalm with excellent visi-bility in a light northwestwind, and aside from a couple of striper fishermen, wehad the place to ourselves, steaming along at 2250and an easy 14½ knots. At 1130, we slowed to enter the inner harbor at

Edgartown, passing some megayachts anchored out-side, then Edgartown Light. I’d reserved a mooringmonths earlier, but in view of our difficulties, I decid-ed to splurge and find us a slip. The harbormasterhad nothing available, and the Edgartown Yacht Club

doesn’t reciprocate withMarblehead clubs, but I fi-nally found a slip at theHarborside Inn Marina.The Harborside Inn is

nice, with a lovely pooland beautiful grounds.Unfortunately, it has noshower facilities formariners, but we weretold we could use the pool.After securing the boat, Iwalked up to settle upwith the dockmaster.“How much for the night?”I asked. This wasEdgartown in midsum-mer, so I braced myself.“Well, it’s normally

$250,” he said. But check-in isn’t till three o’clock, soI’ll have to charge you an extra fifty.”Egads! Three hundred dollars just to tie up for the

night? And not even a shower? Oh well, our enginewas back in commission, everyone was healthy, it wassummer, and we were all having a good time. So be it.Now it was time to explore. Being the fuddy-duddy Iam, I most wanted the boys to see the giant pagoda

Schooner: From a New England word, to “scoon” orskim or skip upon the water, the first vessel of the kindhaving been built at Gloucester, Mass., about 1713. Avessel with at least two masts, the aftermost higher, orequal in height to all the other masts, her chief sailsfore and aft, her mainsail and foresail being extendedby both a boom and a gaff.

By Peter d’AnjouFor Points East

The origin of the term “schooner” is arguable –some lexicologists say “schooner” comes fromskonnert, the word for a variation of this vessel

type – but whichever story you accept, believe this:Few sights are more fraught with romance and theimagery of the sea than that of a schooner beating

They’re handsome, fast and seaworthy, and they’re exciting to watch or sail.Check out the schooners berthed in Rhode Island’s City by the Sea.

Mystic River Yacht Club’s Frostbite Regatta6 on May 3 offered a light southwesterly breezethat gave the sailors five good races. Seven ofnine teams competed in light rain. The win-ners were those teams able to put it all togeth-er: boat handling, strategy, tactics – andknowledge of the new rules.The previous two weekends of spring frost-

biting brought varying conditions,. On April

19, races began with sunny warm skies and 10knots from the north, but they finished with 20knots from the south. The committee boatswung around, and the races kept on going.Besides crazy winds, the automated horns de-cided to whistle “Dixie” instead of three-minutestarting sequences, there were numerousequipment challenges, and a huge gust thatcame from the east sent one sailor swimming.

Three different racing roads all led from MaineWhether you hate, like, love or admire

the J/24 class sailboat, the design is one ofthe world’s most competitive one-designracing fleets. I have been sailing the boatsince age 5 when my father purchased withfriends a brand new J/24 then named FourPlay, for the four partners. During the early to mid ’80s, the local

Casco Bay J/24 fleets grew and regularlyhosted regattas with over 30 J/24s on theline. Since that time, I have enjoyed com-peting in the J/24 at the club, regional, na-tional and international level. Many youngsailors growing up in Maine around thesame time have had similar experiences asmine, and this past week at the 2009 J/24World Championships in Annapolis, Md., the nextgeneration of Maine J/24 sailors have came into theirown. Will Wells, David Hughes and Peter Levesqueall grew up in Maine, and they recently participatedin the J/24 World Championship - and they all fin-ished in the top 10 out of 79 boats from 14 differentcountries.Will Wells has owned a J/24 for over 10 years and

has been sailing in the class even longer. Will grew upon Mount Desert Island in Maine where local legendTom Brown sailed Local Talent and where, occasion-

ally, Kevin Mahaney raced to a top finishat a District Championship. Since thoseearly days, Will has methodically pre-pared his boats, crew and race program toreach the highest levels of the sport. Isailed with Will in the early days of hisheavy J/24 campaigning and enjoyed alearning curve that qualified him and ourteam for the 1998 J/24 WorldChampionship in Kingston, Ontario. Since then, Will has solidified himself

as a major player in the J/24 class, finish-ing at the top of many national and re-gional regattas. Will currently works atthe North Sails loft in Portsmouth, R.I.,servicing one-design and other racing

customers. Going into the 2009 Worlds, Will was oneof the many favorites to either win or have the bestUnited States finish. After seven races in light tomoderate winds and changing currents, Will, skip-pering Paraloc, finished a solid 6th place.Peter Levesque took a bit of a different route to this

year’s Championship. Pete grew up sailing and racingout of the Portland Yacht Club in Falmouth, Maine,and raced in the local fleet a few times and well as onJ/24s in the junior program on occasion. As a juniorPete was a standout, winning the Bemis national tro-

TORPEDO 38

Inspired by the LEONARD W, a legendary boat builtlate in the career of Will Frost. Rumery’s T-38 is con-structed with a fabulous torpedo stern complete with arumble seat. Deck and house configurations vary fromopen "bass-boat" style to comfortable "long weekend"

cabin accommodations. A modest engine will move thisboat quickly through the water. She never pounds and

leaves essentially no wake. Quiet and Elegant.

phy (double-handed junior) as well as many other na-tional and regional regattas. With an impressive jun-ior record, Levesque went on to Tufts University andwhile there earned three All-American honors. After college, Pete went to work for Farr Yacht

Design and then, after moving to Newport, R.I., withhis wife, Caroline, started sailing J/24s in the localfleet. Now, after just over a year of heavy J/24 cam-paigning, Pete is a major player in the class. Sailingthe legendary boat Mookie, a boat that has one multi-ple championships with the likes of Ken Read at thehelm, Pete and his crew (including Caroline) finisheda very respectable 7th place at this year’s WorldChampionships.Dave Hughes grew up sailing out of Harraseeket

Yacht Club in Freeport, Maine. By the time Dave wasan active junior sailor, the local fleet had diminishedin size a bit and he sailed J/24s only on a few occa-sions. However, a bit ironically, I had the pleasure ofsailing with him during one of those occasions onTony Jessen’s J/24 Denali during the Harraseeket re-gatta in the mid-’90s. Dave didn’t do a bunch of col-lege sailing, but has certainly made a name for him-self after a competitive bid for the 2008 Olympics inthe 470 class. Since then, Dave has sailed in many na-tional and world championships in the Etchells andMelges 24 classes, among others. The 2009 J24 WorldChampionships was his first major J2/4 regatta everand his first regatta since the 1995 Portland YachtClub Pilot Race.

Dave sailed with Chris Larson on a boat namedNational Sailing Hall of Fame, named for the facilityof the same name soon to be built in Annapolis Md.Dave trimmed genoa and did downwind tactics dur-ing the event. The team did not start off very well dueto a Z flag penalty (20 percent added to your score forbeing over early at a start) and a dismal 43rd-placefinish in races two and three respectively. However, going into the last day, they knew they

could have made up some points and places by sailingwell, never having lost focus. Posting two 3rds and an11th on the last day of the regatta propelled the teamto 2nd place finish overall, just a few points behindthe winners Bruschetta from Brazil. After the event,Dave commented, “I am beginning to appreciate theJ/24 as the boats are very similar in speed whichmakes for a very tactical game.” Dave is currentlycoaching sailing, racing professionally, working forNorth Sails, and calls San Diego, Calif., home base.Each sailor had a different road to this competition,

but one constant has been the experiences they hadsailing in Maine. So if you haven’t experienced the joyof racing in the currents and winds and around the is-lands, rocks and ledges of Maine, make sure you putit on your list to do, it might just propel your sailingcareer.Carter White owns Regatta Promotions (www.regat-

Fishing repor t s f rom Southern New England

By Elisa JackmanFor Points East

Finally the cold winter weather is behind us, andthe fish are biting. Check your fishing reels to see ifthey need new line, grease, or repair before the fish-ing really turns on in earnest.The striped bass fishing has begun in the back

ponds along Rhode Island’s south shore. The westwall of the Harbor of Refuge is becoming more andmore consistent in the early morning and dusk.Anglers are fishing with rubber shad and grubs.Worm hatches may still occur in the early part ofJune due to the lack of increasing water tempera-tures in April. Larger fish will begin to move into ar-eas along the South Shore and Block Island. Towardthe later part of June, the stripers will start hittingon live eels as opposed to herring. The Snug HarborJune Moon Madness Striper Tournament will be heldJune 19 to 21 for the competitive anglers.

Cod fishing off of Block Island has been hit or miss.Anglers have had reports of up to 20 fish. TheMountains and Waterfall locations of Cox’s Ledge andEast Grounds are popular spots to hit.

Squid fishing, from Newport to the south shore’s

center wall of the Harbor of Refuge to Charlestown islots of fun, very messy, and great fluke bait. These arethe locations to try with some Yozuri squid jigsthough out the month of June. Bait-finders are im-portant to mark the squid. They could be on the bot-tom, mid- or upper surface, and where they’re markedis where you’ll have to fish.

Scup fishing begins in the mid- to upperNarragansett Bay and spreads to the south shore aswater temperatures increase. Small hooks and squidor sandworms are all you need.Hopefully, warm-water eddies will break from the

Gulf Stream come the middle to end of June to startthe offshore canyon tuna fishery. Bluefin are usuallythe first to frequent the offshore canyons and arecaught on the troll. Shark fishing will begin aboutthe same time, best locations being Jenny’s andRyan’s Horns. Get that line in the water!

Elisa Jackman, a Point Judith Pond native, hasmanaged the tackle shop at Wakefield, R.I.’s SnugHarbor Marina (www.snugharbormarina.com) forover 15 years and has spent her life fishing the watersof Block Island Sound.

Stripers, haddock, and keeper cod are hittingBy Craig Bergeron

For Points East

That’s what we heard from several of our customersthe past weekend. Our good friends at Chevy’s Baitdown in Camp Ellis reported small holdover stripedbass caught off the jetty on the river side. Check thedam as well: Cormorants have been working the wa-ter as well as a couple of ospreys, and a bald eagle waschasing fish along the Marblehead boat launch. Goodnews for all the anglers who have been calling thepast couple of weeks looking for stripers in the Sacoarea. Paul Cote snagged a couple of alewives in the riv-

er. Pete also reported herring down by the dam inSaco. He said some of the members of the Saco YachtClub were catching them. These fish make great baitfor the bigger bass that should be here soon. To catchthe herring, you need a Sabiki rig with small gold

hooks and a two- to four-ounce sinker on the bottomof the rig. After you catch a few, live-line one on yourstriper pole on a 6/0 or 7/0 Gamakatsu Octopus hook,hooked through the nose or the pectoral fin, thenhang on tight. Ken Foss reports great groundfishing on the Bunny

Clark. Jeffreys Ledge still is the spot for some greathaddock and some keeper cod. One day he was out,Ken came in second on the fishing pool with a 26 ½-pound cod; he was beaten by a 51-pound cod.

Craig Bergeron has been a manager at Saco BayTackle in Saco, Maine for 16 years. He’s an avid salt-water fisherman who loves to teach people the art ofserious offshore fishing techniques, from custom linesplicing to rigging squid rigs for bluefin tuna.

GMT Composites ofBristol, R.I., recently sup-plied carbon-fiber pocketbooms for the total refit ofSummerWind, a 79-foot JohnG. Alden-designed schoonerbuilt in 1929. Pocket boomsare designed for sails withlong or full-length battens,allowing the sail to bestowed within the boom’s toppocket.The culmination of a two-

year total restoration spear-headed by Karl Joyner, theyacht’s highly experiencedcaptain, was the stepping ofher wood masts and her newstate-of-the-art booms. TheGMT booms appear to perfectly match the sitkaspruce in her masts. Instead, the booms are crafted ofcarbon fiber, weigh only a fraction of her originalwood booms, and have numerous details that make

SummerWind’s rig stronger,simpler to control as well aseasier to maintain. This 100-foot schooner was

originally launched as QueenTyi by C.A. Morse & Son inThomaston, Maine. Sheserved as a coastal picketduring World War II and,more recently, as Sea Gypsy,operated as a charter yacht inthe Mediterranean. A FortWorth businessman acquiredher and, inspired by theFrank Sinatra song, renamedher SummerWind. Then,with design consultationfrom naval architect NielsHelleberg, he and his captain

arranged for her magnificent rebirth. They plan tosail SummerWind on the antique yacht racing circuit,beginning this summer. FMI: www.gmtcomposites.com.

1929 Alden schooner gets GMT faux-wood carbon booms

The carbon-fiber booms weigh only a fraction of herwood booms, but will make SummerWind’s rigstronger, simpler to control, and easier to maintain.

Lyman Morse launches first catamaran Lyman Morse launched the 62-foot catamaran, Mala

Conducta, into the St. George River in Thomaston, Maine, onApril 9. Designed by Morrelli and Melvin of Huntington Beach,Calif., this is the yard’s first catamaran project. The cat willbe used for family cruising, and so she’ll be fast, her con-struction and appointments have been kept light. The hull was constructed of Kevlar/Eglass prepreg outer

skins, with P or Nomex core, and carbon prepreg inner skins.The deck was built in a female mold in one large piece; it isalso a combination of Kevlar/E-glass and carbon fiberprepregs. Speeds well over 25 knots are anticipated, despiteall the amenities. The yard reported that it was “really look-ing forward to screaming around Penobscot Bay on the seatrials.” FMI: www.lymanmorse.com.

Briefly


tree, brought from China in 1837 in apot by Captain Thomas Milton andplanted in front of his new home. Thetree, now larger than a full-grown elm,still stands in front of the same house. I needed peace and quiet, so I re-

treated to the boat. When the boys re-turned, Randy said to me, “Dad, I knowyou’ve been traumatized by your boatthis trip, so I’m taking you to dinnertonight at the best restaurant inEdgartown!” And so, after shining our-selves up a bit, we proceeded to walkup into town to the one that had beenrecommended to him, a place calledAlchemy. It was, indeed, a first-classplace. JP had lamb chops, while Cody,Randy and I had Black Angus stripsteaks with a wonderful risotto andvegetables. Randy, bless his heart,picked up the entire tab, which cost more than ourslip.We were all up early the next morning, and at 0830

we were on our way across Vineyard Sound under afew puffy clouds with just the hint of a southwestwind. The sea was that wonderful powder-blue, andMuscobe left a crisp wake behind her as she made for

Wood’s Hole. Passing to the south of Nobska Pointlight, we turned north to enter the channel at Wood’sHole. Though I’ve been through here many times, Imade for the next can and nearly missed green bell G“5”, which marks the shallows off the east end ofNonamesset Island. There would have been plenty ofwater for Muscobe at this tide, but I don’t like almostmissing a mark.

Randy and Cody stand in front of Mass. Maritime’sEnterprise, waiting to meet Randy’s brother JP. LastJanuary, Enterprise was renamed the United States TrainingShip Kennedy.

MYSTIC SEAPORT, JUNE 26-28, 2009BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER!

Wood Works!

Once we entered Buzzard’s Bay and turned north,the seas were calm, the breeze was at our backs, andall seemed right with the world. We dropped JP off atthe academy, then turned back into the canal. Evenwith the strong current against us, our Yanmarpushed us along easily at 10 knots. Just before theSandwich Marina, two Coast Guard 47-foot motorlifeboats idled side by side in the canal. They are fastenough to catch just about anything except aCigarette, and are designed to handle the roughestseas.We left the canal, and at the prospect of again “en-

tering civilization,” I turned on my cell phone andfound I had a message. Sadly, it was Arvid Young’swife, Brenda, informing me that we had lost Vin, whohad been quite ill for some time, at 6:30 that morning.Young Brothers, in Corea, Maine, had built myMuscobe. At noon we began to pick up the flashing strobe

lights on the Salem Power Plant stacks just beyondMarblehead, and at 2:15 p.m., Muscobe steamed bold-ly past Marblehead Rock and entered the protectionof Marblehead Harbor. Another chapter in “TheMuscobe Chronicles” had come to a close.

A resident of Marblehead, Mass., Joel Gleason is afrequent contributor to Points East.

Downeaster Muscobe, built by Young Brothers inCorea, Maine, looks right at home among thefishing boats in the Nantucket Boat Basin.

Cruising Rules by Roland Sawyer Barth, Head Tide Press, 110 pp., $20.Roland Barth is a teaching sailor (as opposed to a

sailing teacher) in the grand tradition of our sage andseasoned Roger Duncan. Concluding the preface tohis new book, Barth states, “These stories…are idio-syncratic, even peculiar. Yet they expressmetaphors and teachings which areuniversal and lasting for me – and, Ihope, useful for you.” The word “useful” is the give away. A

teacher, especially a New Englandteacher, tainted with Calvinism as he/shemust be, is driven to constantly draw con-clusions from life experience and sharethat “useful” information with any audi-ence available. Duncan himself uses theword frequently. A cautious reader may proceed with trepi-

dation if is he/she isn’t in the mood to receive “useful”information, but not to worry, “Cruising Rules” is nota lecture. The stories Barth refers to in his preface re-late to the origin of 25 highly “useful” cruising ruleshe has culled from the considerable time he has spenton small sailing craft – during which he has learnedmany “useful” lessons. Several of the “cruising rules” are derived from the

premise that any mild idiosyncrasy, barely visiblecharacter flaw, or insignificant habit one might admitto becomes magnified in inverse proportion to the sizeof the boat. No one with more than two hours of boat-ing time under his/her belt can deny such a truism.Unfortunately, what’s true for the ordinary seaman is

quadrupally true for the captain. Captain Barth’s per-sonal anecdotes relating to this age-old shipboardproblem are told with unabashed self-deprecating hu-mor. Even when a captain is wrong, he’s right (seeRule No. 16). Certain rules – like “The hand that holds the paint

brush determines the color” (Rule No. seven), “Thegods protect beginning sailors and fools, sometimes

both at once” (No. 10), and “Reef early and often”(No. 12) are already familiar to most mariners,but it is comforting to see such lessons in printaccompanied by someone else’s apocryphal sto-ries. Other cruising rules are not as generally fa-miliar as one might assume. No. 15, for in-stance: “Be careful who you get in a boatwith,” evolved from an experience with sev-eral desperate bluefish and a swampeddinghy. Barth’s breezy style and sharp observa-

tions, laced with humor, keep the book from being theslightest bit preachy. In fact, one of the best stories issomewhat at the expense of a preacher. Handsomelydesigned by daughter Joanna Barth, the book is com-plemented by Jane Crosen’s delightful map and JonLuoma’s deft and humorous illustrations. “CruisingRules” is a keeper. Reading selections aloud of an occasional evening

at anchor on your next sea voyage may prove “useful,”especially if you’re the captain. Last year, RolandBarth, along with his wife Barbara, celebrated his70th birthday with a cruise from Florida to Cape Codin his 17-foot catboat Ibis, so he certainly knows therules of cruising. His book, “Cruising Rules,” can ob-tained by emailing him a [email protected].

Reviewed by Michael L. MartelFor Points East

In “The Last Schoonerman”, cruising sailor and au-thor Joe Russell has put together a compelling biog-raphy of Captain Lou Kenedy (yep – onlyone ‘n’) that reads less like a biographysometimes and more like a whopper of asea-yarn. But that’s because Kenedy washimself the stuff of folklore, larger thanlife, a tough, adventurous waterman whoearly in life embraced the old ways of wood-en ships and iron men. In this book – whichis meticulously told, and well-researched –Russell relates the life story of a manwhose biography, without Russell, wouldprobably have never been written, and thatwould have been a shame.Lou Kenedy was the scion of a Connecticut publish-

ing family who could have lived his life comfortablyand broken a sweat only on the squash court, but in-stead he chose a hard life – to work aboard, and even-tually own and master, wooden sailing vessels duringthe twilight of sail in the first quarter of the 20thCentury. He bought and repaired derelict wooden schooners,

hauled freight, and made them pay. He ran rum andrefugees; he was a resourceful, crafty seaman in lovewith old wooden vessels, parsimonious and flinty. Hewas also a cheat, a swindler, a smuggler, and a truebastard, but some would argue that, to survive in hisworld and chosen profession, one would have to be.He was a dockyard battler who owned guns but nev-er shot a man to death; he was a devoted (if some-times clueless) husband and father.Joe Russell does not disguise his admiration for Lou

Kenedy, but at the same time he doesn’t sugar-coat

the man; he presents Captain Kenedy, warts and all,for inspection; and we can’t help, in the end, admiringKenedy, who lived life on his terms, followed his owndrummer, and above all made it pay.There are a few things about this book that smack

of a self-published work, such as a few typos, and theneed for a good editor who might have corrected someof the slang, grammar, and word-choice issues that Ihad with it. Some of the biographical material in the

last chapters, daily family life and routinestuff, is a bit too detailed and tiresome –seemingly pointless. But Joe’s style of spin-ning a yarn overrides these small prob-lems: It’s really a job well done for the mostpart and the book, once opened, will holdthe reader’s interest until the story of Lou’sadventurous life is over.The great mystery about this book – to

me – is what ever motivated young LouKenedy to ditch a comfortable life at age 19and, in 1929, choose one of the hardest and

most dangerous professions going. Lou was a 19th-cen-tury man in the 20th; maybe he knew that, maybe hedidn’t, and maybe he didn’t care. But the book is shotthrough with anecdotes that are the stuff of purewhopper – yet somehow, once we come to know Lou

‘The Last Schoonerman’ a heck of a compelling tale

Kenedy, we have no doubt in our minds that they aretrue. One of my favorites is a story about Lou and his ves-

sel and crew arriving late in a northeastern harbornear the end of a long trip up from the Caribbean.They have nearly run out of food, and Lou instructshis crewmen to go out in the dinghy and rob the locallobstermen’s pots for dinner. The crewmen protest;they will be shot by the locals. Lou, a liquor-smugglerwho had a store of rum on board, tells them to bringbottles of Mount Gay rum in the dinghy; for every potthey remove lobsters from, put in a bottle of rum ascompensation. The evening’s activity nets 40 lobsters,which they consume for dinner. The next morning,they are surprised to find that the number of buoyedlobster pots in the harbor has nearly doubled, with agood number of new ones placed in the vicinity ofLou’s big schooner!“The Last Schoonerman” is a great read; it’s one

book that ought to be aboard, even if, to make room,one has to chuck overside one of those newfangledyachtie cookbooks. The reader can tell that JoeRussell’s heart was in this. He wants us to know andremember Captain Lou Kenedy, who passed on in1991; to laugh with him, to chuckle at his exploits, toadmire his often superhuman achievements, and per-haps toss back a tot of rum in a toast to his memory.In all of this, Joe has succeeded and done right by theold guy.

bright and warm on the backs of all aboard and offthe nearby rocky cliffs, where people waved as wepassed. Schooners are visually quite remarkable and un-

mistakable, these skimming vessels of our nativeNew England. Every port along our coast has beengraced by them, and even though there are subtlevariations, they all stir the senses with their gracefullines and greyhound speed. In many ports they are the most popular sightsee-

ing vessels, as they are in Newport, R.I. Fourschooners are employed there in the seasonal com-mercial tourist trade, and many more are private ves-sels. Why are they so popular and beloved? Becausethey bring us back to our historic roots as seafarers,and they are so much a part of our rich and salty NewEngland heritage.Designed for speed in hauling precious cargo, fish,

and people, the style was quickly accepted and builtworldwide. Most schooners are two-masted vessels,but three- four- five- and even six-masted schoonerswere built. Here’s a lineup of the commercial schooners cur-

rently in Newport. LOA is length overall; LOD islength on deck; draft is how much of her hull is be-neath the water; beam is her maximum width; andGRT is gross registered tonnage.

Notes: Purpose built for taking passengers onNarragansett Bay, this cold-molded epoxy/wood hullhas two cabins, but no sleeping accommodations orgalley, staying true to her day-sailing roots. Hermasts are sitka spruce and recycled from older ves-sels. She has a Marconi-rigged mainsail and gaff-rigged foresail, and looks arguably like the MysticSeaport schooner Brilliant in rig and appearance. While she does have a 80-horsepower diesel engine

amidships for auxiliary power, her crew love to sailher and quickly silence the engine as soon as the boatleaves the harbor and the sails are raised. Madeleinehas a reputation as a one of the faster “sweet-sailing”schooners.

Notes: The fastest commercial schooner inNewport, due to her large sail area, the “Dack,” as sheis affectionately known, boasts both main and foresailgaff rigs and a double headsail or inner and outer jibs.

A good example of athree-masted staysail schooner, Arabella has 20staterooms with room for 40 overnight passengersand excels at destination cruises from Newportaround New England in the summer and in theCarribean each winter.

If your trip to Newport includes plans for a ride on one ofour famous schooners, here’s what to expect: Most vessels will take passengers for 1½- to two-hour trips

out into Narragansett Bay and to the edge of the openAtlantic Ocean near Castle Hill Light. The costs are generallyaround $30 per person for adults. This does not include thetips typically given to the crews. Ask if the trips have narrated tours, which provide brief his-

tory lessons of the boats and surrounding area. Even thoseboats such as Madeleine, which do not sell themselves astalking tours, have crews that love to talk to visitors and willgive you ample information during the trip. At the height of the summer season, each boat will make

four or five trips a day starting mid- to late morning as the fa-mous Newport seabreeze comes up, so there are plenty ofopportunities for a sail.Some boats do not allow small children onboard, so if you

have kids, check with the particular tour to be sure. In anycase, parents of infants and children under 4 years of ageshould consider that their fellow passengers are a “capturedaudience” during the trip – you can’t get up and leave re-gardless of your child’s behavior. A windbreaker or sweatshirt is advisable as are boat shoes

and sunscreen. Complimentary soda and water are typicallyavailable as is the inevitable marine toilet. Most boats have“sunset cruises” at a premium price that include free cham-pagne or beer. These happen to be the most popular trips,particularly on weekends, so again, plan ahead. Most boatsare available for private charter. Whichever format youchoose, enjoy, for there are few places to sail as exciting asNewport, R.I., and few vessels as interesting to be aboard astraditional schooners.

A trio of cruising boats at anchor off the milelong sandy beach at Maine’s Roque Island.Photo by David Buckman

A Roque Island muse

It was a bright and beautiful summer day, but forthe fact that the wind barely mustered enoughambition to blow the wrinkles out of the sails as

the Leight swanned along at three knots and petrelsflashed past the bow, pirouetting inches away fromglassy swells. Unwilling to suffer the clamor of theengine and squelch the lyrical accompaniment of thedinghy, we made the best of it, and as afternoonwaned, we slipped quietly under the bold battlementsof Little Spruce Island. As many times as we have called at Roque Island

Harbor, it still feels a world away. The centerpiece of10 insular gemstones scattered between Chandlerand Englishman bays in far Downeast, Maine, itsmilelong crescent beach looked like a great gull’swing spread in flight. There was a severity andgrandeur to its seaward prospects, and the 15-foottides urging the International Folkboat along in-formed us that we were getting close to the Bay ofFundy, where sea and shore are possessed of a re-markable boldness that demands vigilance, quickensthe heartbeat, and invests the most innocent of pas-sages with compelling drama and expansiveness.Creeping as near the strand as we dared, Leigh

went on deck and let the anchor splash overboard. Forall the stability and good manners imparted by thesloop’s full keel, it presented no small target to the

flooding tide, which swung the boat broadside the cur-rent and set us to rolling annoyingly until I rowed outa stern hook to hold her to the flow. The pop of a wine cork and appearance of the mate

with a cutting board mounded with cheese and crack-ers signaled a transition to the most civil occupationof the cruising life. Tugging on a sweater satisfied achill in the air. We sighed at the grandeur of it, unableto absorb the beauty on every quarter and toastingour good fortune as swallows glided low and a harborseal popped his head warily above the water to takeour measure. There was no hint of man’s hand havingbeen laid upon the islands, and it was easy to imag-ine that a half-dozen generations removed, aborigi-nals may have populated the shore, living off itsabundance of game and shellfish. In the dusky last light, ocean, islands and sky meld-

ing into one and the air pregnant with dew, we land-ed on the beach, our footprints the only marks uponthe great slate of sand. Sensing a certain animalawareness in this quiet night on the edge of the sea, Istared at the constellations of stars flashing away inthe heavens and tried to fathom what I could of it,which was only that there was infinitely more to belearned and that we’re only likely to find what welook for in life.

LAST WORD/Bruce Ble s s ington

Sunset has morphed into nautical twilight, andthe celestial lamplighter is making his rounds.First the planets: Mighty Jupiter leads with its

silver-white appearance in the southeastern sky.Then, one by one, the first-magnitude stars are illu-minated, followed by their more distant and faintercompanions. Finally, as night descends, the MilkyWay, our galactic home address, makes a glitteringsplash across the sky extending from southwest tonortheast. We are Boston-bound, gliding across the Gulf of

Maine on a gentle southeasterly breeze. An unusual-ly favorable wind fills the sails for a comfortable closereach, and the log has been ticking along at four tofive knots. The wind brushes the sea into a glimmer-ing, pebble-grained surface. The air temperature iswarm, in the low 60s, but the apparent wind lacedwith a dash of the damps has us rummaging in ourseabags for sweaters and watch caps.Our Alden 43, Dress Blue, on this run is crewed by

three, with my eldest, Bruce Jr. and our friend RickWynn aboard. It’s Rick’s first offshore overnight ad-venture, and he’s determined to savor every moment.Bruce and I have agreed a port and starboard watchbill with Rick proposing to keep each of us companythroughout the night.A few hours ago, we enjoyed a delightful dinner of

oven-roasted spareribs and corn-on-the-cob served upby Chef Bruce Jr. on the cockpit table – delish! As theon-watch, I left the steering to the autopilot and wasable to dive into my ribs while still keeping an eye onthe horizon and the radar. No interruptions duringdinner. Waving a rib for emphasis, Rick pointed out

that, on land, fine dining alfresco at sunset with anocean-view table would require reservations, a bribefor the maitre d’, and lots of head space on your cred-it-card limit.As dessert was cleared, the entertainers arrived: a

pod of Minke whales just off our port side. They areon a course parallel to ours, dozens of smooth andswiftly swimming forms. Sleek and black with somegray tones, they undulate and shimmer, surface andsound, as the setting sun tints the scene in orangehues. These Minkes are smaller members of thewhale family, about 25 to 30 feet in length, and theyare quite social. They swim with a beautiful, fluid, porpoise-like mo-

tion, blowing as their heads surface and arching theirbacks to bring their curved dorsal fins into view asthey angle beneath the waves again. Close enough tohear the whoosh of their blow holes, we can almostfeel the mist generated by their powerful expirations.As fascinated as we are by them, they are under-whelmed by us. After 20 minutes, as dusk settles,they slowly draw left and away from us. The troupehas left the stage, the performance over. The Chelsea on the bulkhead below strikes four

bells. We’re halfway through the eight-to-midnightwatch. Coffee! I need coffee! Rick obliges, and mugs inhand we again fall into the companionable silencethat so often overtakes watch mates at night. The redglow of the binnacle provides just enough light to seethe card, and the radar backlight is down to its low-est setting. The darkness sets the senses to high res-olution and brings the mind home to the immediate. Dress Blue slips through the water, the wake whis-

Night watch


pers and sparkles with bioluminescence. Tonight, thesparkling water below doesn’t quite compare with thespectacular display above. Our words are few, andeach utterance is low, barely above a whisper, as in alibrary or, even better, a cathedral. This cathedral isbuilt of a moonless night sky, unspoiled by ambientlight pollution and supported on a foundation of blackdiamonds. The fresco of bil-

lions of stars on itscelestial dometempts me to leanback against thepushpit and contem-plate its majesty andincomprehensiblevastness. What’s outthere? Is there an-other blue planet likeours? Are we reallyalone? If we’re not,and “they” can see us,what do they see?Would our distant ob-servers see Vesuviuserupting, the Battleof Gettysburg, or theWright brothers inflight? For I am see-ing the heavens notas they are in this in-stant, but as theyonce were: as theywere when the light,just now arriving inmy eye, began itslong journey acrossspace and time. Didit travel for a hun-dred years, a thou-sand, or a million?I’m really looking back in time. The stars that sentthis light may have flickered out long ago. My metaphysical musings are interrupted by Bruce

clipping on to the cockpit jack line. (We stay clippedon offshore at night even in pleasant weather.) He’sready to relieve, and I hand off with a position reportand confirm that there are no contacts. Rick soldierson wanting to miss nothing. Minutes later I’m enjoying the luxury of the V-berth

in flat seas lulled to sleep by the sound of the bowwave burbling inches away. Sleep comes fast and deepbut of short duration as my cell phone alarm rudelyjolts me back into the here and now to relieve Bruce.We are closer to Boston, and he’s been busy. A home-

ward-bound Gloucesterman had surfaced on the

radar’s six-mile scale. It was closing fast from the eastholding a steady bearing which would make the clos-est point of approach our midship cleat on the portside. We may be sailing, but in these situations, theRules of the Road are supplanted by the rules of “Gross Tonnage and Material of Construction,” Ifyou’re heavier, longer and made of steel, we’ll happilyconcede you the right of way.

After Bruce turnedeast just enough togenerate a bearingchange, he finallymade contact onChannel 16 and went“up one” to 17 for achat. The fishing boatcaptain confirmed thathe had us on radarand was “thinkingabout changingcourse” when he no-ticed that we’d actedfirst and thanked usfor so doing. He offeredthat we projected avery solid radar im-age, and he was sur-prised to learn that wewere a sailing vessel.Seems our Blipperradar reflector was do-ing its job. I stood the next

watch alone as Rick fi-nally succumbed to 24hours without sleepand chose rest over ad-venture. This four-to-eight was mostly busi-ness, dealing withtraffic in and out of

Gloucester, Salem and Beverly as well as Boston’snorthern traffic-separation lanes. Despite the activi-ty, I still had time to enjoy a glorious sunrise withLynn Harbor abeam before we rounded Winthrop andsailed into Boston. Muffins were emerging from the oven, and Rick was

materializing from his bunk. The night watch wasover and a new, bright day was beginning, perfectlyset against Boston’s shining skyline.Bruce lives in Georgetown, Maine, with his first

mate of 47 years, Marie. He’s an ex-submarine sailorwith thousands of hours of sea time (diesel and nuke),and he’s been sailing the Maine coast since 1976. Thissummer, Dress Blue will ply the northeast from NewYork to the Canadian border.
