First release in late summer 2003,Hurricane Rum was introduced

during the Hurricane season.This was done in honor of the

awesome storms that cause havocfrom the Keys to Nantucket.

Our rum is slightly over-proofed to match the

strength of nature's fury.

It is aged in bourbon casks imparting a wonderful golden color and distinctive whiskey flavor.

Hurricane Rum is truly small batch and difficult to find.

Ask for it wherever you buy spirits,and please enjoy with friends

Coasties: Always there when you need them

An unusual set of events in early November – dur-ing a cruising rally to the Caribbean organizedby Bristol, Rhode Islanders – gave us the hook

we needed to craft our periodic paean of praise for theU.S. Coast Guard. The Coasties are, after all, the un-sung heroes of our sport, recreation and industry ofboating.The 116 boats that entered the

rally started at Hampton, Va.;Beaufort, N.C.; and other portsfrom Nov. 2-6, each skipper choos-ing his own window.Much of the rally fleet encoun-

tered an intense front on Wednes-day night and on Thursday, leavingfive boats with rudder and rig fail-ures, debilitating seasickness, andone broken arm, the rally organiz-ers said.The Coast Guard reported the

following incidents: Case No. 1: The 41-foot sailing

vessel Ahimsa sent a distress signal, stating they weretaking on water 230 miles east of Virginia Beach andwere in need of assistance. The Portsmouth, Va., CoastGuard deployed a Hercules HC-130 long-range aircraftto search and a Jayhawk helicopter to rescue. The Navydiverted the USS Vella Gulf to assist. The Jayhawk re-fueled aboard the Vella Gulf before midnight, hoistedfour people from Ahimsa at about 1:30 a.m., and tookthem to Air Station Elizabeth City, where they declinedmedical treatment.

Case No. 2: The 38-foot sailing vessel Nyapa sent adistress signal indicating they had lost their mast andwere taking on water some 275 miles east of VirginiaBeach and were in need of assistance. The Herculesfrom the Ahimsa rescue was diverted to search forNyapa, but was unable to locate the boat. A second Hercules, armed with new data from rally

headquarters, located Nyapa. A Nyapa crewmemberconfirmed they’d lost their mast, but no one was in-jured, and they were continuing south via motors andno longer needed assistance.

Case No. 3: Portsmouth Coast Guard received analert from an EPIRB registered to the sailboat Aurora,positioning the Aurora 230 miles east of Elizabeth City,N.C. Both Hercules crews searched the area but wereunable to locate the boat. The crew of a nearby vessel,Dreamreach, reported that they had been in contactwith Aurora, and that she was not in distress and washeading to Bermuda.

Case No. 4: The sailing vessel Brave Heart, locatedsome 50 miles southeast of Ocracoke Inlet, N.C., re-ported to Wilmington, N.C., Coast Guard that a 67-year-old crewman had incurred an arm injury. A CoastGuard Station Hatteras Inlet 47-foot Motor Life Boatattempted a medevac, but was unable to effect it due toadverse weather.

The 110-foot cutter Block Is-land, out of Atlantic Beach, N.C.,was dispatched to escort theBrave Heart into Beaufort, N.C.,but was diverted to assist withanother disabled sailboat. Wilm-ington Coast Guard planned tosend a crew from North CarolinaStation Fort Macon to escortBrave Heart in, but Brave Heartsaid they no longer needed CoastGuard assistance.

Case No. 5:The 54-foot sailingvessel Zulu, about 100 miles eastof Oregon Inlet, N.C., reported to

the Coast Guard that they were disabled and adrift.Cutter Block Island arrived on scene, set up a tow, andbrought Zulu homeCoast Guard assets involved in the rescues included

two HC-130 Hercules airplanes, a MH-60 Jayhawk he-licopter, the cutter Block Island, a 47-foot Motor LifeBoat, and the command-center personnel of the 5thCoast Guard District and Sector North Carolina, as wellas the U.S. Navy’s USS Vella Gulf.The Salty Dawg Rally issued a statement of thanks

to the Coast Guard and Navy for their rescue efforts:“In the aftermath of the challenging conditions lastThursday, Friday and Saturday, all of the major inci-dences have been resolved without life-threatening in-jury. The SDR extends a huge thank-you to thewonderful crews of the Coast Guard vessels, aircraftand shoreside support for their professionalism, speedywork and cheerful attitudes. In all instances, thesebrave young men and women acted above and beyondthe call of duty.” Well said, Salty Dawg Rally.The purpose of this report is not to question decisions

made by the Salty Dawg Rally organizers or crews ofthe participating vessels. It is only to say, Wow! Whatan amazing organization quietly and patiently watchesour backs when we’re at sea. The Coast Guard’s mottois Semper Paratus, meaning “Always ready.” The sloganof the R.I. State Police could also apply to the agency’svaliant services: “Always there when you need them.”

The Jayhawk helicopter and Fast-ResponseCutter are critical assets in Coast Guardsearch-and-rescue efforts.

No stripers, but an ocean sunfishOn Saturday, Sept. 21, my wife and I were striper fish-

ing inside the Gunboat Shoals, in the approaches to NewHampshire’s Piscataqua River. There was not much ac-tivity, so, at noon, I decided to go back to the “2KR” buoyat the river mouth and fish for mackerel. Just after pulling anchor and starting back outside of

High Rock, you could see the huge fog bank coming in. Istarted the radar, and we slowly made our way acrossthe mouth to Wentworth. I decided then to just head backto our port. In the mist of the fog, I saw an object moving on the

surface of the water. I said to my wife, “There’s somethingmoving in the water.” As we slowly approached, we wereamazed to see it was an ocean sunfish. It almost seemedlike it was posing for us as we took pictures. I could havereached down and touched it as it glided under the boat.I thought the pictures might interest Points East read-ers, as I enjoy all its articles

We, too, had cockpit stowawayThe story by Russ Roth in the October/November issue

on the Pulpit Harbor stowaway reminded me of our cock-pit stowaway in some little cove off the ICW along theCarolinas. Our draft, on Scuttlebutt, was so minimal thatwe could occasionally just tie up to a tree. After just such a night’s anchorage, I reached into the

box in our cockpit containing the propane tank to turn iton. Without my contacts in, I vaguely wondered why wehad left an old rusty shackle in the box. Later, with con-

tacts in, as I went to turn off the gas I realized that it wasa coiled snake enjoying the warmth of the cockpit. A panof water encouraged him to find his way back to the scup-per through which he’d apparently entered.

Tautog? You bet your wrasseIt used to be said that

when the leaves turn theirfall colors and the firstfrost is nigh, it’s time to gofishing for tautog here inRhode Island. Tautog,sometimes called black-fish, is a type of wrasse, Ibelieve. It’s gray to blackwith some vertical strip-ing. The flesh is white anddense with some slightoiliness. They feed on bar-nacles, small lobsters,mussels, and small crabs,so their flesh is delectableand they are usuallycaught using small greencrabs. They like rocks andstructure.Their numbers have declined in recent years for a va-

riety of reasons, and my local fishmonger, Nick, was com-menting about that just the other day. But there are stillsome out there, and the ones we caught the first week ofNovember were very plump and excellent for stuffingand baking. There are minimum size limits during theseason. I believe the name “tautog” is a name assignedby our local Indians centuries ago and only they knowwhat it means. But if you catch a large one, you should prepare it prop-

erly in order to enjoy it at its best. The first thing, ofcourse, is to avoid bringing it anywhere near the kitchensink. Avoid a matrimonial nuclear conflict by bringing itaround back to the garden hose and scale it there. Gut itfrom its anus to its gills (reserve the entrails) and removethe head, preferably with a small hatchet and a woodenplank for a chopping block. Don’t bother trying to headit with a knife. Use a hatchet, just like the fellows whonamed the fish did to the Pilgrims.Cut the tail off with a hatchet and trim the fins with

tin-snips shears. The next step -- making the stuffing --is up to you. If you remove the gills from the head, youcan poach the head in a little saucepan to make broth. If

In the mist of the fog, I saw an object moving on the surfaceof the water. I said to my wife, “There's something moving inthe water.”

this seems unappealing, then make your stuffing theusual way. But for poaching the head, use just enoughwater to cover -- and don’t let the wife see it (use anopaque saucepan cover). One look at that cooked egg-white eye gazing up at her through the bubbles and you’llbe eating DiGiorno over at your buddy’s for the nextthree weeks.Make a small batch of stuffing the usual way, using the

poached-head broth instead of chicken broth. Render alittle bit of bacon or salt pork and sauté your diced onionand celery in it. Use lots of black pepper. When the stuff-ing is made, stuff it into the fish cavity. Rub the outsideof the fish with some soft butter, use toothpicks to pin thefish belly-flaps together a bit, then drape three or fourstrips of bacon over the top of the fish and bake in theoven on 350 degrees until done -- maybe an hour or so.Come evening, take the entrails that you reserved, and

after dark, sneak over to that neighbor you don’t like andput them in the bushes by his back steps. The skunkswill love it, and, if he also has a dog that you don’t like, itwill be even better when the skunks come around andthe dog has an argument with them. The skunks alwayswin, and it’s fun to listen to it when it happens: You canhear the neat interplay of voices -- dog, neighbor, neigh-bor’s wife -- all through the neighborhood.And of course don’t forget the Pinot Grigio, well-chilled.

I knew Dr. William Dickson on CapeI picked up a copy of the October/November issue at

Jeff’s Marine in Thomaston and was interested to findin your Editor’s Page mention of Dr. William Dickson’sgunkholing in Nova Scotia back in the 1960s. I’m surethat this was our former friend and neighbor in SouthOrleans, Mass. In those years, Bill had an Amphibicon that he cruised

far and wide with his family. One summer – probably1963 or 1964 – when the boat was moored in the “Horse-shoe” of Pleasant Bay, I remember sailing his boat withhis son Pat and, for the first time, realizing what a bal-anced helm was, after having sailed only Baybirds and aWianno Senior.Bill eventually retired to the family summer home and

an 18-foot Marshall catboat, which he famously sailedand raced in Pleasant Bay. His boating expertise; warm,blue-eyed twinkle; and care for the bay was an inspira-tion to many.He passed away in 2010, and shortly before his death

my wife and I, out for a walk, found him happily out cut-ting wood near his house. Below is an obit I found on line.More than you want to know, but he was a wonderfulman in so many ways.

Bruce HammattTenants Harbor, Maine

Editor’s note: Bruce, this is not more than we need toknow. We regret not including this monumental loss to

the cruising life in Final Passages, and wish to share Dr.Dickson’s life and remarkable accomplishments with ourreaders.

Boon the Lobster Dog: 2001-13I thought I would pass along

the sad news that Boon haspassed away. He had a good run— 12 years for a large dog issomething. He was a great guy.Boon was a Bernese mountaindog, born in Henniker, N.H. Hecame to Kittery Point with Adamand his wife Kathy shortly aftercoming into the world. Boon be-came well known among the dogwalkers on Seapoint Beach and Fort Foster over the years.I have no idea how I came to write the story about him.

This stuff just comes to me from time to time. I went

through the rejection of publishers, but Points East waswise enough to see the merits of the Boon stories and, ina weak moment, chose to publish a couple. It was reward-ing to see the number of folks who liked the stories. Boon was a real dog, and Adam and Kathy are real peo-

ple, although Adam is not a lobsterman, as he was por-trayed in the articles, and the boat is a figment of myimagination. My wife Joyce and I are Adam’s parents. Inreal life, Adam and Kathy have a graphic-design business.Many of the places mentioned in the stories are real, andso are a couple of the characters. However, the rest of it,including that magical boat engine, is a product of my fartoo idle mind.Boon was truly a wonderful dog, and right up to the end

he never complained about anything. Oh, and he wasnamed after Boon Island. It was not the other way aroundas he constantly thought.

We hadn’t been boating since October, but we heardabout the Winslow Homer exhibit at the Portland Mu-seum of Art. We thought the exhibit, with its focus on theartist’s Maine maritime paintings sounded well worth thetrek from suburban Boston to Portland. We purchased ourtickets to the exhibit, but what else was there to do in Port-land in mid-December? I did a bit of online research and found other activities

to keep us busy, but the most intriguing was a parade oflights in Portland’s inner harbor at night – with fireworks.The appointed day was beautiful and the evening clear,

with a sliver of a moon and a cold, blustery wind. Perfectweather to be out on the water. My husband was kind ofdubious: Who would want to do this in the cold and dark?He asked if I was really sure about this. Yes, it’s a benefitfor SailMaine and its programs, led by the Casco BayLines. I was sure it would be good.Not knowing the parade route, we arrived by car though

busy downtown, past the Casco Bay Lines toward theparking area at Portland Yacht Services. There were tonsof cars, people were lined up for the Polar Express narrow-gauge train ride, and we didn’t think we’d find a parkingspot. But we did, a primo spot overlooking the Inner Har-bor. And, to our surprise, others were there sitting in theircars, too. And what did we see out there off Spring Point? Maybe

30 boats, all decked out. There were large ferryboats, fish-ing boats, sailing yachts – who knew what they all were,

it was dark. But they were all trimmed in colored lights –up the masts, across the spreaders, down the backstays,around the posts and struts. They were milling about theentrance to the harbor, getting into parade position. TheCasco Bay Lines started the parade to the Inner Harbor,all ablaze. This was fun. The other boats started after in orderly

fashion. Wait! Was that Santa at the helm? Did one of theferryboats have a boatload of merrymakers? We were hav-ing so much fun watching all this, we started to clap. Silly,they can’t hear us; we blinked the car lights at them. Othercars honked their horns.The boats continued the parade to downtown, and we

couldn’t see them anymore. But we saw the fireworks,which were great. The boats never came back to the start-ing line; maybe the skippers docked their vessels andjoined others at various waterfront restaurants.We had a blast, and this year, maybe we will find our-

selves back in Portland for the 13th annual Parade ofLights – Saturday, Dec. 14, at 3:30 – on one of those boats.Who knows where serendipity will take you?

MYSTERY HARBOR/And the winner i s . . .

The house had a secret tunnel for skulduggeryThe October/November Mystery Harbor, Harts Cove,

lies off the coast of scenic New Castle, N.H., at themouth of the Piscataqua River. It is protected from thefast current in the river and the open ocean by FortConstitution. The fort is open to the public. The en-trance is through the New Castle Coast Guard Sta-tion.The house in the picture dates back to 1647 and was

rumored to have a hidden oceanside entrance, wheredeliveries could be made out of public view. To the portside of the photo, just out of view, is the new Universityof New Hampshire pier that is home to the 124-footocean mapping vessel, Ferdinand R. Hassler. It ar-rived this past summer, and will be mapping the At-lantic off the New England coast for the first time, inmany cases, since the 1900s.For history buffs, Fort Constitution is the location of

the first action in the American Revolution. Localsfrom New Castle and Portsmouth raided the Britishfort and made off with the store of gunpowder, whichwas reportedly used at Bunker Hill.

Perspectives

It’s ten at night, Jan. 5, 2004 and 7 degrees F out-side as I hurriedly flip open a corner of the canvastent covering Elsa’s cockpit. There is

very little spring to her as I step aboard,and I know she’s mostly frozen in. Scrunching under the canvas covering

the cockpit, my back hits the tarp andcauses a mini avalanche, pouring snowdown under my coat and shirt, which slidesdown my bare back. It all causes me tomove too quickly, and I slip on the dustingof snow, which has blown in onto the var-nished teak grate on the cockpit sole.I land in a lump in my cockpit well. On

the outer edge of my mind, I’m alreadythinking I’ll freeze to death if I don’t get be-low. At the forefront of my mind, though, isthe dreaded Sesame lock, a temperamental sentrythat secures the hatchboards and blocks my entranceinto the cabin. I know from experience that it may, ormay not, be frozen solid. Through thick rag-sock mittens, I fumble with the

tumblers, carefully moving the last one up just onenotch, which I know should be the right combination.No good. I’m really shivering now. A line from “ToBuild a Fire” – Jack London’s classic Yukon story,where the central character slowly freezes to death –pops into my mind: “It certainly is cold, the manthought.”

I pull the little Maglite out of my coat and shine itsweakening beam on the tumbler numbers of the lock.

They’re correct. I blow hot breath on them. Ipull again. Frozen. In desperation, I grab awinch handle and bash the lock. It opens. Ienter the 18-degree “warmth” of the cabin.It’s even darker down below as both hatchesand all six bronze ports are blocked withwind-packed snow. I grab the Mag lite again and point its

now-dim glow toward the hook where Iknow I’ll find the butane lighter to light thecabin heater. As I fumble with the heatervalve with one mittened hand, I pull thetrigger on the lighter with the other, andsuddenly the most wonderful orange glowsprings to life. I bow over the heater as if it’s

a shrine, my palms out, just above the burner. After a few minutes I look around. I shine the light

in the bilge. Ice. I explore further. All 24 bottles ofspring water are now cylindrical ice blocks, usefulonly as mini barbells. I try to light the lamps. Theparaffin in all five gimbaled lamps has solidified, ren-dering them useless. I check the thru-hulls. Frozensolid. I light two candles and return to worship theheater. I listen to the frozen world. My 25-year-old sloop is

groaning with each gust of icy, 45-knot northwestwind. Ice is rubbing up and down the windward side

of the hull, making an eerie half-lapping, half-scrap-ing sound, as if some hungry monster is trying toclaw its way up the starboard side. I actually scaremyself with that thought, so I decide on some musicfor distraction, but the plastic lid on the CD playerbreaks when I lift it. Suddenly, I feel really stupid. “You’re an idiot,” I say aloud. “You’re safe and

sound in Pickering Wharf, Salem, Mass., one of thebest-protected marinas on the East Coast, with over-lapping wharves, buildings surrounding you, somegiant, white-shrink-wrapped 50-foot Pacemaker pro-tecting your windward side like a shiny vinyl iceberg,and a warm restaurant just 60 feet away.” A shot of rum warms me further and I begin to re-

lax. I turn on the VHF weather station, and listen tothe buoy reports in the Gulf of Maine. Isle of Shoals:northwest winds gusting to 50, 12-foot breaking seas,air temperature 15 degrees F, water temperature 37degrees. I try to image what it would be like outthere in a 31-foot sloop like Elsa. What would happenif I tried to sail to Maine right now? What spot, situ-ation, moment, slippage, breakage, physical or men-tal meltdown would be my undoing. Surely it wouldmake a great sea story. Another shot of rum warms my stomach and

prompts initial thoughts on story line: Sam, a love-struck young man who lives a romantic existence ona boat in a marina in Salem, Mass., is jilted by histrue love, a woman who lives in Portland, Maine. Acomment she made late that cold January night bycell phone (“You’re spineless, Sam…we’re done…youjust don’t have what it takes…”) hurts him to thecore. He pours his fourth shot of rum. He must seeher. Now. He has no car. But he does have a boat.And, damn, he does have what it takes… so he’ll justsail to Portland, in this storm, this very night, andshow her what he’s made of. And so begins a stringof seeming small actions that, cumulatively, lead tocatastrophe.A particularly strong gust belts Elsa hard, flicker-

ing the candles on the saloon table. I look around atmy now cozy cabin. The candles give a nice glow tothe all-teak interior, the brass lamps, and even theold photo of our family’s former Atkin cutter Phyllis,a boat I first went aboard as a 1-month-old in a bas-ket. I look hard at the framed photo of Phyllis. “I think

we’ll stay right here at the dock tonight,” I say aloudto my two long-time friends, Elsa and Phyllis. “I don’tneed to prove anything to you girls, do I?”

GUEST PERSPECTIVE/Bob Muggle s ton

Good night, and good luck

In the spring of 2000, a buddy asked me to tag alongwhile he checked out a boat for sale at a local ma-rina. I was single at the time, making decent

money, and my job as an editor at a sailing magazinein Rhode Island afforded me ample sailing opportuni-ties. In fact, the magazine itself owned a small boat that

was rarely spoken for, and a 10-minute walk from myapartment and a short launch ride put me aboard her.All this is to say that I didn’t need a boat, wasn’t look-ing for a boat, and I often wondered why anyone wouldown a boat when there were so many boat owners al-ready out there looking for crew. Other People’s Boats

(OPB). There’s a lot of grim truth to that oft-used phrase. I

knew so many New England sailors who complainedincessantly. Don’t do the math, they’d say; the dollaramount per sail is too depressing, the season too short.Sure, when I walked through a boatyard and sawsomething beautiful – a wooden double-ender, maybe,or a sharp-looking catboat – I experienced the occa-sional pang of lust, but never in an elemental way ca-pable of making me do something silly.So what was it about that 1969 Columbia 28? A boat

that my buddy offhandedly dismissed? I know exactlywhat it was. This boat was my perfect storm. Sea Fever

She was not an ostentatious boat. Compared to a

friend’s 29-foot Vineyard Vixen, she was a little on the

dowdy side. And yet . . . and yet . . . there was some-thing about William Crealock’s unfussy design. Itseemed so seamanlike, with so little pretention. Andthe boat was so little in this big boatyard of big boats.She needed me. And, I told myself, I needed her.

THIS IS THE LIFE!

ber night, and the boat is on a grand adventure. Sheis on one of the adventures that I designed for her,which includes sailing past the Statue of Liberty onher way to Florida via the ICW, and her little Atomic4 is humming away like a sewing machine. But I amnot aboard Sea Fever. I no longer own her. I am sit-ting next to a woodstove in Connecticut. A South African woman and her Wisconsin-born

husband – and their two large poodles – own her, andonly two days ago they sent me pictures of theStatue of Liberty as they sailed past. The feelings Ihave about that are so mixed. First and foremost, Iam proud of them for restoring my boat, which saton jackstands for 12 of the 13 years I owned her. Theboat was a mess, and they brought her back to life,sparing her the indignity of the landfill, my onlyother viable option. Too many fiberglass boats fromthe ’60s and ’70s suffer this fate; Joshua Slocumsrarely exist in this world of bottom lines with the pa-tience and skill to rebuild an old boat from the keelup. Today, a better, cheaper – or even free – boat isjust a keystroke away. Nobody would take Sea Fever for the pittance of

$500, a boat I paid $8,000 for and sailed only one glo-rious season. I gave the boat to this couple becausethey seemed just crazy enough – they drove all theway from Texas to get the boat – to actually sail hertoward a distant horizon. Of course, the picture of the Statue of Liberty,

while so evocative, is also a reminder that I havefailed. I never achieved any of the dreams I had in-volving Sea Fever, and I lost a ton of dough in theprocess. I am by no means unusual. Many before mehave done it, and some of you reading this now willdo it sometime in the future. What’s the phrase? Theheart wants what the heart wants. If I’m honest, I was happy watching Sea Fever

leave the yard. I am married now, with a young fam-ily, and my house is over 200 years old. I have a day-sailer. Fixing up Sea Fever wasn’t in the cardsanytime soon. I know that some people won’t everunderstand the process of attaching emotional valueto an inanimate object. But boats are so much morethan wood, fiberglass or steel. The right one can soneatly embody our dreams and values. And inasmuch as a boat, regardless of its pedigree

or condition, is capable of representing one’s dreamsand aspirations, I believe its fate is also important.My boat – excuse me, Sonia and Thomas’ boat, SeaFever – is headed for Florida, and then who knowswhere. Possibly the Bahamas.Ain’t it grand?When he’s not applying his “buy-high/sell-low”strategy to houses, cars, and boats, Points East asso-ciate editor Bob Muggleston is raising a young familyin East Hampton, Conn.

A perfect passage

Standing in the cockpit of my Valiant 40, I’m atthe center of a blue circle five miles in diameter,a circle that has been moving steadily north to-

ward Bermuda at six and a half knots for the lastseven days. It’s been a perfect trade-wind passage.We haven’t touched the sheets, the traveler, or the

Monitor steering control line in any significant wayfor 900 miles. Neither watchstander (there are two ofus) has called the off-watch even once. On most pas-sages, where change is constant, my eye stays focusedon the gear, roaming from system to system, directedby my sailor’s sense to maintain a vigilant scan pat-tern. But this has not been like most passages. The worst

mechanical problem so far is that one of the numberson the mainsail has been losing its stickum, and isslowly peeling to leeward. With everything so cozy,we’re paying more attention than usual to the seaaround us.Our intimate blue circle – with its flying fish, in-

quisitive shearwaters, Sargasso weed clumps, andtropic birds – has been fringed by a painterly sky of

friendly cumulus. Squall-free nights have unfolded asa triple blessing. Tangerine skies and goldenrod sun-sets in the northwest have given way each evening toa million stars on an inky black sky, the likes of whichwe never see ashore, and later to the moon – full thenight we set out, and waning since. A week into thepassage, its bright path across the sea still comesright to the boat, a beckoning ribbon of light thatmakes night watches almost too brief.We took our departure north from Montserrat, a

tropical Eden now eerily half-dead and half-alivesince the Soufriere volcano erupted catastrophically18 years ago. It blew again in 2010. The southwest ofthe island – for centuries its population center andcapitol, is now a desolate and officially maintainedExclusion Zone – a Caribbean Pompei buried underash, where roofless and windowless buildings willnever be rebuilt or re-inhabited. We toured with the most knowledgeable guide on

the island, Joe Phillips, who got us behind the scenesof that terrible atmospheric setting. It felt unreal,like a thriller film set. No other Caribbean taxi tour

is so depressing, so unforgettable, so unfathomable.Of course, nature had simply acted as nature oftendoes. We shouldn’t have been surprised. But for atwo-man crew about to confront a thousand sea milesof nothing but nature, Montserrat was a soberingstarting point.We went to sea the day after our tour. Nearly a

thousand miles later, with the satisfaction and won-der of barely started sheets, we realized the passagehad seemed so perfect, and not just compared to tensof thousands of other sea miles sailed. The passage

also seemed perfect because the memory of the vol-cano’s devastation had been with us watch-on andwatch-off, as much a part of this particular trip as therock-steady easterly trades. There is nothing likestarting in Pompei to make one appreciate perfection.Jeff Bolster has been messing about in boats formore than 50 years.

NewsNOAA to stop printing paper charts in AprilThe U. S. Government, in

the form of NOAA’s Office ofCoast Survey, announced inlate October that, effectiveApril 13, 2014, it will nolonger print traditional litho-graphic (paper) nauticalcharts. NOAA-certified Print-on-Demand partners will con-tinue to sell up-to-date papernautical charts.The decision to stop produc-

tion was based on several fac-tors: the declining use oflithographic charts, the in-creasing use of digital andelectronic charts, and federalbudget realities. Since 1862,those lithographic nautical charts – available in ma-rine shops and other stores – have been printed by the

U.S. government and sold tothe public by commercial ven-dors. “With the end of traditional

paper charts, our primaryconcern continues to be mak-ing sure that boaters, fishingvessels, and commercialmariners have access to themost accurate, up-to-datenautical chart in a formatthat works well for them,” ex-plained Capt. Shep Smith,chief of Coast Survey’s Ma-rine Chart Division. “Fortu-nately, advancements incomputing and mobile tech-nologies give us many more

options than was possible years ago.”

Capt. Kip Files takes the helm of the MorganCharles W. Morgan’smasts are stepped

As part of her five-year, multi-mil-lion dollar restoration, the 1841whaleship Charles W. Morgan tookan important step in her journey backto sea on October 17: Mystic Sea-port began stepping her masts. Theship was de-rigged and had its mastsand spars removed at the outset ofthe restoration in 2008. Maritime tra-dition holds that a coin should beplaced under the base of a mast forgood luck. To mark significant eventsin the Morgan’s history, three coinswere selected for placement: an1841 U.S. silver dollar, representingthe original launch of the Morgan; a1941 U.S. silver half-dollar, signifyingthe ship’s arrival at Mystic Seaport;and a 2013 U.S. silver dollar, sym-bolizing the current restoration. Thecoins will replace the three removedwhen the old masts were removed in2008: a 1908 Barber silver half dol-lar, an Eisenhower silver dollar datingfrom 1971-1977 (corrosion made itimpossible to read the specific year),and a 1997 U.S. silver dollar. FMI:www.mysticseaport.org.

The Morgan’s 38th Voyage is “goingto be a quite the adventure,” saidCapt. Richard “Kip” Files on his firstday on the job.

By Judy Silva and Barbara FrascaFor Points East

Judy’s side of the story:The summer followingour circumnavigation of New England, the six ofus set sail for a cruise to Maine. Jim and Judy

Silva aboard Yankee Lady, and Tom and Rosalie Iseleaboard 2nd Wind started out a few days before Tomand Barbara Frasca, who were aboard Misty. Theyjoined us in Annisquam, Mass. Tom Frasca had been injured when Misty was leav-

ing Stonington Harbor in Connecticut. Tom and Bar-bara were under sail, running out of the harbor whentwo powerboats sped out of the entrance to NapatreePoint and cut in front of Misty’s bow, creating a hugewake and rocking her severely. The boom jibed across the cockpit and Tom, who was

sitting next to the main sheet, was thrown across theboat. He was almost thrown off the boat, but insteadhe hit the cockpit coaming. The force of his fall brokethe coaming, and he received a massive hip bruise.When they caught up with us at Annisquam, Tom

Frasca was not feeling any better. He was stiff andsore and his bruising was spreading. He and Barbaradecided that he should get X-rays to see if anythingwas fractured or broken. They were both familiar withYork Hospital in southern Maine. York Harbor wouldbe a timely next stop for us. There is no anchoringthere, so we would need three moorings, which areonly available on a first come, first served basis.Somewhere around the Isles of Shoals, Barbara

called the York harbormaster on Channel 9. We didn’thear her because we were monitoring Channel 78. Alittle while later, I called her to ask if she had beenable to arrange for moorings. She replied that she did-n’t really know because the harbormaster’s transmis-sion was garbled. She had told him, however, that shehad a non-emergency injured crewman, and she

wanted to take him to the hospital for X-rays. Being alittle closer to York, I said I would try to reach him ina while.I put the radio on scan so we could pick up channels

16, 9, 22 and 78. Then I heard the Coast Guard callMisty on Channel 16. I called Misty, which was backon Channel 78 and told her the Coast Guard was call-

ing her. I didn’t know which one. She said, “Do youthink I should answer?” I said, “Yes, I think you better.” Then I heard her on Channel 16: “Coast Guard, this

is Misty.” She’d gotten answers from the Coast Guardin Boston, Portsmouth, Portland, Woods Hole andCanada. It was Portsmouth calling. They asked her to

describe her vessel and give her position. She replied,“We’re non-emergency, calling the York Harbor Masterfor moorings.” They asked for her position again. We were in sloppy

following seas. Misty had her mainsail up. Tilly the au-topilot was not responding well. Barbara had to con-trol the main so it wouldn’t jibe back and forth while

steering with the tiller. “Just a minute, I’m busy rightnow,” she replied, and then she soon returned with herlatitude and longitude and described their vessel.I called the York har-

bormaster. I also tried totell him that Misty wasunder control, but thatwe would like three moor-ings so the injured mancould go to the hospital.He said there were moor-ings available at the mo-ment, but he didn’t say hewould save them. YankeeLady kept trudging alongin front of the other twoboats.Then I heard, “Misty,

this is Coast Guard 4-3-2-1 (not the exact num-bers),” and I said to Jim,“Oh no, they’re sending aboat.” As we approached the

entrance to York Harbor,I looked back and saw a powerboat zooming up behindMisty. I didn’t look closely; I thought it was a trawlerhurrying in to the harbor to get a mooring. Then I

looked again and saw those orange stripes on eitherside of the huge boat’s bow. Jim and I both looked indisbelief.

I called the harbormas-ter back and said, “Thisis Yankee Lady; we’rethree boats coming intothe harbor, only nowMisty has a Coast Guardescort.” This time he toldus to call him when wearrived and he wouldshow us a mooring. Thenthe Coast Guard calledhim to say they werebringing Misty in. “I’maware of that,” he said.We were met by the

harbormaster’s boatwhen we entered the har-bor. It contained the har-bormaster, in uniform,the local policeman, inuniform, the assistantharbormaster, and an

EMT. We had time to settle up with the harbormasterbefore Misty arrived with her escort. We told him thatthe injury had happened a week ago and that the

of everyone who was in the harbor. The harbormasterput her on a mooring just outside the main basin sothe Coast Guard cutter could maneuver. We have pic-tures to prove this. 2nd Wind motored in and pickedup the first free mooring Tom saw.

be one of our strangest on record. I called the York har-bormaster for three moorings because we wanted totake Tom to the hospital. The transmission wasn’tgood so what got passed on was “Emergency injury,broken hip.” Once the Coast Guard picked up on this,we had a major episode on our hands. They don’t goaway when you say, “Non-emergency, repeat, non-

emergency. We just need three moorings for the nightand a lift to the hospital.” I talked with Woods Hole,Boston, and wherever saying we didn’t need help. Fi-nally, Woods Hole took our position and boat descrip-tion and ended their report. I thought all was over soI went back onto Channel 78. Meanwhile following seas were building and I be-

came busy running the boat. Then Judy said the CoastGuard was trying to get us on channels 16 and 9. Wefigured I better call back. I did and said I didn’t needhelp, but then I had to interrupt them because the self-steering let go and I had to deal with it. They thoughtI was in trouble so they asked for our position and typeof boat. While we were talking on Channel 16, some boater

interrupted and told us to stop conversing on it and goto another channel. I had to tell the Coast Guard toswitch to Channel 22. How ironic. I was also slidingaround the cockpit and had to tell them to wait a

A huge 45-foot boat had arrived to escort us to York. Go away, I thought,but we were ordered to put on Channel 22 and stay there. They must havehad eight to 10 people on board. They wouldn’t go away, even though I as-sured them over and over that we were in no danger.

minute. They didn’t take that as a good sign either. Igave them the information and said I was very busy. Ithought I was rid of them and went back to 78. All of a sudden I heard the huge roar of an engine

from a powerboat. Guess what? It was PortsmouthCoast Guard. A huge 45-foot boat had arrived to escortus to York. Go away, I thought, but we were ordered toput on Channel 22 and stay there. They must have hadeight to 10 people on board. They wouldn’t go away,even though I assured them over and over that wewere in no danger. They said, “We are escorting you inand boarding you. When was the last time you wereboarded?” “I don’t know,” I replied. They followed us right into

York Harbor where we were met by the harbormaster,police and an EMT. We were put on a mooring outsidethe harbor used for emergencies. I think it was easierfor the Coast Guard boat to maneuver there. Two young men in their early 20s came aboard. They

said they had to check us out to see if our claim wasreal, to which I replied, “We didn’t ask for help or makeany claim.” Tom said they could see his bruises if theywanted. They noted that we had medical knowledge,and they declined to examine Tom, but we were not al-lowed to go below.Jim and Judy took pictures. They said we were ba-

sically dwarfed by the size of the Coast Guard vessel.We were safety checked for life preservers, flares, rules

of the road, drivers’ licenses and documentation. Theywere confused by the year-sticker on the bow with noaccompanying registration number. They were alsoconfused by our homeport – Wethersfield – that waswritten on the transom with no state indicated. Theyfound this strange and suspected “trafficking,” butthey had noted that we were flying an American flag,which was a plus. They suggested that we add “Conn.” to our transom.

We will add “Conn.” They asked if we had enteredmany harbors. “We’ve been from Newfoundland to theFlorida Keys,” I replied, which impressed them. Wenow have a yellow paper to keep on board in case weget boarded again to prove that we passed the inspec-tion and we were cleared to go to the hospital. I asked why had they come out when Woods Hole

and Boston had already closed the case. Apparently,the diligent York harbormaster was the well-meaningculprit. They shook hands with us and said we wouldnot be cited. “Cited for what?” I asked again. I sug-gested they check with Woods Hole and Boston to co-ordinate their communications. The two young menwere very polite and shook hands when boarding andexiting our boat. They were impressed with all ourgear and our experience. When they finally left, the policeman and harbor-

master convinced Tom to go to the hospital in the po-lice car. Tom Isele gave us his handheld radio so we

could call him to pick us up, “Thanks, see you in fourhours,” I said jokingly.When the doctor checked Tom, her expression told

us his contusion was massive. It must have been be-cause word spread quickly, and lots of nurses came byto see it. He spent more time than he wanted “showingoff.” The X-rays indicated no fractures, and the doctorgave him medication and said he should start feelingbetter in three to five days. They also told him that hewould be out of commission for some time.While sitting in the waiting area, we discovered that

we both had forgotten to bring our reading glasses,and had brought only sunglasses with us. We hadgreat difficulty reading the forms to sign. We couldn’tread the handheld radio buttons, either. Luckily a po-liceman had been newly posted in the emergencyroom, and he drove us back to the dock and assistedwith the radio. We contacted Tom and Jim, and the lat-ter came to get us.

@ @ @Back to Judy:While Tom and Barbara were at the

hospital, Rosalie fed us a spaghetti dinner, and shesaved some for them. They returned around 7:30,which was just about four hours later. I guess Barbarawas more prophetic than she could have wished abouthow long they would be gone. Jim gave them a rideback to Misty, where, with gratitude, they enjoyed

their dinner. Barbara summed up our experience thebest: “York Harbor had its excitement for the day, andit was us.” We stayed an extra day to wait for the weather to

change and to regroup. 2nd Wind left first on a lowtide. Yankee Lad followed her. Suddenly, we heard aloud thud and scraping noise: 2nd Wind’s bow wentdown, then up, and her rigging jangled as she scrapedhard against a hidden rock. They were in the buoyedchannel. Where did that rock come from? We avoidedit. Tom and Barbara saw it and slightly touched it asthey left. It’s not marked on the chart. Beware.

There are things on boats that definitely havelimited life spans. Many of us – especially thoseof us who buy boats that are no longer in their

infancy – need to keep this in mind when the time forthat pre-purchase survey and checkout arrives. Nauset, our Nauset 28, was built in 1995, and my

name became the fifth name on the abstract of title.Before buying the boat, we spent time crawling

through it, spent an hour talking with the man whobuilt it, and then had it surveyed. After all that, wewere pretty sure what we were buying, and I was cer-tain there were things and systems aboard the boat Iwas destined to become intimately familiar with.One system that was doing what it was supposed to

do, and didn’t seem too bad, was the sanitation systemdownstream from the seat of honor in the head. ButSaint Experience was whispering that he was abso-lutely sure I was going to get to know that system,

After 17 years, during her delivery from Cape Cod to Texas, Nauset’s rank sanitationsystem needed to be replaced. Something foul was lurking down below the cabin sole.

close up and in detail. Large partsof it, probably most of it, was orig-inal, 17 years old. Every singleone of our previous seven agingarks required waste-system at-tention. Each of these boats infact required extensive attention,and usually the “extensive atten-tion” connected to waste manage-ment meant replacement. Nausetwould not be an exception.On Sept. 18, we moved aboard

and put the waste-managementsystem back into operation. Itworked, and everything seemedOK. On Sept. 22, we left Hyannis,Mass., for a shakedown/deliverycruise south for the winter. ByNov. 9, when we reached the PalmCove Marina in JacksonvilleBeach, Fla., there were . . . ah . . .olfactory hints that perhaps allwas not well in the waste-man-agement department. Somethingless than ideal seemed to be lurk-ing down there below the cabinsole.Procrastination is a character

trait of all successful long-termcruisers. We had planned to leavethe boat at the Palm Cove Marinaand fly to the house for the holi-days. Says I, authoritatively, tothe Commodore: “I can just flushthe system with fresh water andvinegar, and it will be fine untilwe get back. And then, furtherdown the road, we’ll … I’ll … takecare of it down there. Besides,these things take time; you haveto think about them, plan every-thing out, research parts, mea-sure and re-measure and allthat.” Right. And off to the house for

the holidays.In midwinter, back aboard the

Then I spent a daysearching the marine-supply catalogs and the Inter-net, collecting data and details, followed by a day plan-ning, thinking and re-measuring. And the orders wentout.

a good one on the boat – but for this job, a heat gunwas not really a good idea. Raw poo smells pretty bad.Cooked poo and hot, old rubber hose is an order ofmagnitude worse. Cutting is also a whole lot fasterthan heating, pulling, yanking, gagging and swearing.Long story short, save the nose; cut the hose.Fifteen minutes after the first hose was cut, the old

holding tank with its integral manual overboard pumpand cut-off hoses rose up from its parking space,passed through the cabin door, across the cockpit, andup onto the dock, with only a couple of stray drips. Sofar, so good. I then removed several of the remaining cut-off hose

sections – the ones I could reach from above. With the

old tank out, it was clear that we had had a leak or twoin the system. The shelf the tank had been mountedon, and some of the area around it, had rather a lot ofbrown stuff, green stuff and wet stuff that had to beremoved. Once the area had been scrubbed and disin-fected and was mostly dry, I slithered down there (be-ing skinny helps) and removed the remaining cut offhose sections and the old anti-siphon valve.The original system was standard 1980s/’90s. Out-

put from the porcelain went to a Y-valve mounted onthe upper forward end of the holding tank, from whichit continued into the tank or took a detour down to thethru-hull. The removal fitting, at the bottom forwardend of the tank, was a T, one side of which went to the

deck pump-out, the other to a manual overboardpump. The components were good quality. The holding tank was a 14.5-gallon Kracor Titan (24

inches long, 14 inches wide and 10 inches high); themanual overboard pump was a Bosworth Guzzler, andthe hoses were good quality. Except for the small tank,the system was similar to the one I installed in s/vWalkabout in 1994, when we first moved aboard. Butmost of the system was 17 years old: The hoses werepermeated, the Guzzler pump was permeated, and thetank itself was no bouquet. At least four leaks were in the system: one where the

Y valve entered the tank, one on the side of the T fit-ting that went to the deck pump-out, one where theoutput fitting joined the tank, and – most unusual – aroughly one-inch-long crack in the bottom seam of theKracor tank, below and to the left of the output fitting.The crack may or may not have gone all the waythrough. I really wasn’t interested in dissecting that tank. I

could smell it just fine from the outside. But a screw-driver or knife would catch in the crack. I suspect theleak where the output fitting joined the tank and thesmall crack in the tank were related to modern, high-vacuum pump-out systems. The business end of thetank, the one with the in and out, was slightly concave.It may have been flexing during pump-outs.Once all the components of the old system were out

and the mess cleaned up, it was time to install the newsystem: larger tank, all new hoses, new electric mac-erator pump – new everything. The new tank is a 28-gallon SeaLand tank (Model 322840301) with one in-and two out-fittings, all on the top of the tank. The twooutput fittings use dip tubes to pick up what is beingremoved, so no holes are in the sides or bottom of thetank. The inch-and-a-half hoses are Raritan’s new Sani-

Flex hose, which I think are the most flexible and eas-iest to work with. And, instead of a manual overboardpump, there is an ITT Jabsco model 502559 macerator.Output from the reading room goes directly to thetank; there is no Y valve. One of the output fittingsgoes to the deck pump-out and the other to the macer-ator pump and on to the thru-hull via a new anti-siphon loop. By 5 p.m., on in-and-out day, the new system was in

and flushable. Happy hour? You bet – at the Lorelei:two pints of Key West Sunset Ale and an order of conchfritters. As starters. And a final thought or three on this odoriferous sub-

ject. On most older boats, if there is a blackwater hold-ing tank at all, it is probably too small for more thanovernight or weekend cruising. Many new boats alsohave holding tanks that are much too small. Before we got old – sort of grew up and downsized

to a smaller boat – Betty and I were full-time live-

aboard cruisers. We know many full-time cruising peo-ple, and we have discussed the holding tank thing witha number of them: It’s like anchors and anchor rodes;everyone has an opinion. But the consensus amongthem seems to be that, in full-time use, even with care-ful, minimal flushing, a 40- to 50-gallon holding tankis optimal. Each adult on a boat will put about three gallons of

stuff into the tank per 24-hour day. For a couple, that’ssix-plus gallons per day or more than 40 gallons perweek. The common manual toilets – such as the JabscoTwist ‘n’ Lock and the Raritan PH II (aboard Nauset)use approximately a half-gallon of water per full flush.Nauset’s original 14-gallon holding tank was fine for

day trips and weekends, but not cruising. The new 28-gallon tank should last most of a week. There wasspace for a 35- to 40-gallon tank, but to install thelarger tank, I would have had to take up part of thecabin sole and cut a deck beam. That’ll be for the nexttime.If you already cruise a lot or are thinking about

making that winter trip south, or doing The GreatLoop, a large holding tank is probably a good invest-ment. The release of raw human waste is illegal withinthree nautical miles of the coast. Waste must be stored(Type III MSD) or, where their use is legal, processedby a treat-and-release system (Type I MSD). While availability of waste pump-out stations and

pump-out boats along the coast is improving everyyear, there are still areas where they are hard to findor, particularly for sailboats, hard to get to – and in“No Discharge” areas, treat-and-release systems areillegal. Well-maintained treat and release systems killbacteria, but they do not remove the nutrients thatfeed algae blooms.Raritan’s Hold ‘n’ Treat system is legal everywhere,

but the tank is too small. In many popular cruising ar-eas – the New York and Canadian canals, New York’s1,000 Islands, Lake Champlain, the Finger Lakes, allof the Florida Keys, and the Everglades and BiscayneBay National Parks – where holding-tank (Type IIIMSD) use is mandated and enforced, you really don’twant to be the boat caught dumping in the pool.

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

do was to participate in any kind of competition.For the past six years, I’ve summered on Maple Juice

Cove in Midcoast Maine, where practically every year-round resident and summer visitor sails or has sailed.Here, we cruise among a string of unspoiled woodedislands scattered seaward from the mouth of the St.George River and Muscongus Bay out to Monhegan Is-land, a beckoning diamond-in-the-rough on the hori-zon. All summer long, there’s a steady southwest breeze

that acts as a following wind, which brings you backhome after a day of exploring. Usually, on clear sum-mer days when the wind is less than 15, I’d go out witha friend or alone in Winsome for a few hours of sailingpleasure and return with stories of seal or whale orunusual bird sightings, or a luxurious motorsailingyacht with a foreign flag, or even a supertanker. Nodoubt, it’s the life.But when, in August, a neighbor called inviting me

to participate in The Gut Race, which would involve avariety of classes, I knew my easy sailing days wereover. Now retired, I had no excuse not to join in. Theracecourse went around Gay Island, then back to thestarting line through The Gut, a narrow strip of waterbetween island and mainland, impassable at low tideand treacherous from hidden rocks at any time. Ten boats were participating, from 15-foot Her-

reshoffs to 20-foot boats with Marconi rigs. Our cat-

boat was an anomaly. In fact, catboats are raritieshere, with only one other in the vicinity. Other sailorsoften gaze at us with expressions of wonder. One of myneighbors, David Brown, an experienced sailor, actedas crew. We got off to a bad start. Unbeknownst to us, just be-

fore takeoff, the direction of the race was reversed. Atthe sound of the gun, only Winsome headed in thewrong direction. Well, of course, we were mortified, fig-uring the race was over for us as soon as it began, but,being sports, we followed along behind the gaggle ofboats beating confidently into the wind. We managed to at least maintain our position until

making the turn around the southern end of the is-land. With the wind behind us, the centerboard raised, our

enormous unfurled sail billowing out from the portside, we became one fat cat and caught up with someof the Marconi-rigged boys and the Herreshoffs, finallyedging past them while their precious jibs struggledfutilely to keep us at bay. After negotiating The Gut –easily accomplished with our shallow draft – we camein fifth when it was over. For the first time, I began toappreciate Winsome, My Catboat, for abilities I hadn’tknown it possessed. But that race was only an introduction. A race

among so-called equals was scheduled. Again in Au-gust, the next year, Winsomewas invited to participate

in a competition confined to 15-foot Herreshoffs andour one cat, in an open course which, depending on thespeed of the wind, might require a second time around. The eventful day was mostly overcast and threaten-

ing, with a steady 10-mph breeze, and mounting, fromthe southwest. The crewmember of the previous yearwas unavailable because he was racing his own boatin a larger class. But my neighbor Chet Knowles – aseasoned jib-oriented sailor who no longer owned aboat – unfamiliar with the personality of a cat, jumpedat the chance to crew.On the mile-long trip to the starting line, Chet, a

natural, took the tiller, quickly learned the ropes andbegan to feel at home. This time, sure of the right di-rection – and Chet, a man of precision, timing the sec-onds between horn blasts – we were perfectlypositioned forward on the starting line when the gunwent off. As seven boats followed behind I announcedin resignation that due to their ability to sail closer tothe wind while beating they were bound to gain andsoon pass us. Taking shorter tacks to see whether this would keep

us ahead, we found, lo and behold, we were able to stayin front, at least to the first marker. “I don’t believethis,” I kept saying. Chet, surprised that such a com-fortable boat with a wide cockpit, could slice throughthe water with such impunity, shook his head in ad-miration. “What did you say is the make of this boat?”

he asked. Just before rounding the first marker, as two Her-

reshoffs were gaining on us, I was skeptical aboutkeeping our lead. But now we were on a reach, a con-figuration in which Winsome shines. “I don’t think theycan do better than we can on this tack, Chet,” I de-clared. “Here you take the tiller. See what you can do.” He trimmed sail a bit, and off we went, lengthening

the distance between Winsome and the struggling boatimmediately behind. We had a following wind on thenext tack, which, after we pulled up the centerboard,we knew would take us well ahead of the pack. Indeed,we left them in the dust, or should I say “in the gloom”as we crossed the finish line, only to be waved on to arepeat of the first tack. With a rising wind, this we accomplished easily and

returned to the finish line just as the next boat wasrounding the marker for its repeat tack. Our victorywas so unexpected, so outrageous, that Chet and Iwere giddy with incredulity and simple joy that comeswith winning “by a mile.”And so, it seems, were many others incredulous. My

wife, who watched the race through binoculars, waswaving excitedly from the shore as we crossed the finalfinish line, shouting that she wanted to come aboardto join the after-race rafting party. We directed her toa dock nearby. Eventually, the last boats of all classeslimped in to join the rafting. There, we criss-crossed

from one boat to another and drank beer with each crewas we cheerfully reviewed the critical moments of therace. After our strange gaff-rigged boat – which clearly few

understood – was declared the winner, we were handeda ridiculous bronze chalice consisting of two cupidsholding an ornate cup, which, according to the rules(and against our aesthetic sense), we must display onour fireplace mantel for a year. It seems that once upona time this “cup” was part of a table lamp; over theyears, as it was passed on from one winner to another,it had acquired a cachet, and now it had become, inCushing, Maine, at any rate, as prized a possession asthe America’s Cup itself. The rafting party over, we headed back to Maple Juice

Cove and our mooring under ever-darkening skies, untilhalfway there we were enveloped in a downpour. Thishappy crew, well oiled with good cheer and victory, hap-pily soaked to the skin, decided it was time to cease be-ing purists. We pulled the motor out from the cuddy,dropped it on the mount, and without any sense of hu-miliation motored the rest of the way home.The biggest challenge is yet to come. Next summer,

when no longer the underdog, we must defend the cup.There’s the true test. Had we won because of skill? Orwas it the boat? Or the combination of the two? Or wasit just plain luck? The next time around could well an-swer that question. To be continued.

THERACINGPAGESWhile the America’s Cup was fin-

ishing up on the West Coast, vintage12 Meters from the Cup’s GoldenEra were gearing up on the EastCoast to prove they still can steal asailing show when it comes to grace,beauty and competition. The 12 Me-ter North Americans, sponsored byPine Brothers, hosted six of thesleek Twelves sailing on Narra-gansett Bay and Rhode IslandSound over three days of racing,Sept. 27-29. And it was clear for allwho participated or simply caught aglimpse of the action on the race-course or the docks at Bannister’sWharf that the Twelves would for-ever proudly hold their place in his-tory as living, breathing works ofart, lovingly restored by owners whoconsider themselves privileged care-takers of the past. “It was really special to have the

12 Meter North Americans followthe America’s Cup event,” said Den-nis Williams (Hobe Sound, Fla.)whose Victory ’83 (K-22) turned in aperfect score over seven races to winModern Division (for yachts builtbetween 1974 and 1983), which also

included John Curtin’s Intrepid(US-22) and Rich Moody’s Coura-geous (US-26). Williams commended the race

The 2013 Maine Rocks Race, a 113-nautical-mileevent for doublehanded or singlehanded boats, tookplace Sept. 14-15. The course is Rockland BreakwaterLight, to Matinicus Rock Light, to Mount Desert RockLight and back. Hosted by the Rockland (Maine) YachtClub, the race included 11 entries ranging from 27 to72 feet overall. Two boats sailed up from Mas-sachusetts just to participate. The order of finish on corrected time for singlehan-

ders: James Bennett on Astrea, Peter McCrea onPanacea, Gust Stringos on Bluebird, and Scott Milleron Resolute. The order of finish on corrected time forthe doublehanded fleet: Elizabeth Lamb on Averisera,Stuart MacNeil on Wild Agnes, Roger Sheply on Ram-blin’ Rose, James Coughlin on Mainstay 5, andRichard Schotte on Isobel. After a drifter start, the fleet sailed in seven to 10

knots of breeze under clear skies. The 72-foot Isobelled out of the harbor, followed closely by the 1D35 WildAgnes. The rest of the fleet stretched astern. The fleethad a comfortable beat to Matinicus in smooth waterunder a full moon. A run to Mount Desert Rock fol-lowed. Most boats rounded Mount Desert Rock by 2200,

and headed home against a light chop. Lighter air ar-rived with dawn as most of the fleet struggled to getaround Matinicus Rock in light, shifty winds and anannoying chop. The race closed with a close reach toRockland in gentle winds and flat seas. Isobel finishedat 0430, long before sunrise, and a just a few hours shyof her course record. The last boats finished at about1300. FMI: http://rocklandyachtclub.org.

nal race while Jacobi found himself com-fortably ensconced in the top few boats. Onthe second beat, with nothing to lose – 3rdoverall was quite a ways back – Shoperolled the dice.“I didn’t pay attention to where Shope

was at the start; I just wanted to get off theline cleanly,” says Jacobi of the final race.“I didn’t see him until halfway up the legand he was back. On the second beat, hebanged the left corner. I was in great posi-tion, 2nd or 3rd, really solid. But he had somuch leverage on the left, I could not lethim go. I took a really bad shift, less wind,to get back over there and he ended uppassing me at the top. It was terrifying.And we had a boat in between us.“We rounded in a right shift. They all

sailed by the lee to aim at the mark and Istayed in the pressure and sailed straightdownwind, knowing that if we’re in a rightphase, the next phase is going to be left. Igot off to the side of them, got that leftphase first and extended on them andpassed them on the run. It was nerve-rack-ing.” FMI: www.nyyc.org.

nature of the fleet was evident. Sail and hull numbersvaried from Hull No. 3 all the way to Hull 1388. Vet-eran Etchells sailors were competing with many boatsthat were sailing in a large fleet for the first time. Shortly after the first gun of the first race, the fleet

realized that old doesn’t necessarily mean slow. ChrisMorin, sailing Hull 50 More Cowbell, and ScottThomas, in Hull 597 Foto Finish, broke out with a cou-ple of other boats into an early lead at the first markrounding. Both held strong throughout the race andobtained top-five finishes. In the end, however, the bullets in the two Friday

races went to veteran, tactically skilled teams, Lion-Heart and Riva, skippered by Steve Girling and WadeEdwards, respectively. Gary Gilbert and his team onAnnie sailed consistently and shared the lead withRiva after day one. On Saturday, the skies were cloudy, but the breeze

had built to moderate levels and held consistent forthe day. The race committee decided to shorten theline, and got off four good races in the nice sailing con-ditions. The first race of the day was won by Natasha,sailed by the Hardenbergh brothers, followed closelyby Alan Kelly, with current world champion Ezra Cul-ver on board. Finishing in 3rd place was veteranEtchells sailor Pat Stadel, the only female skipper inthe event. The second and third races of the day were both won

by LionHeart, as they found some favorable currentand breeze on the left side of the course. Natasha re-peated their bullet from earlier in the day with an-other in the last race. At the end of day two, GaryGilbert and Annie proved the value of consistent sail-ing, sitting atop the score sheet despite not taking abullet. LionHeart sat a single point behind with six orseven boats still having a chance to claim victory de-pending on how Sunday’s races went for them.Sunday morning, the racers awoke to strong winds

and rain, which abated by race time, and soon afterthe start of the first race the sun broke out into an-

other beautiful fall New England Day. The breeze waslight to moderate, and a strong incoming tidal currentwas running down the course. Playmaker led the fleetaround the first mark, followed closely by Panache,Riva, Crapshoot, and the pesky More Cowbell. At the leeward gate, Riva chose to go course right, a

move which proved smart as she gained and thenpassed Playmaker to take the bullet. Panache finished3rd; More Cowbell, 4th; and Todd LaLumiere, in Indef-initely, passed Crapshoot for 5th. At the awards ceremony, the Corinthian Trophy rec-

ognizing the top finishing all-amateur team went toLion Heart, skippered by Steve Girling. The Genera-tions Trophy was presented by the most senior com-petitor in the event, Patricia Stadel, to the race teamwith the youngest member of the fleet. More Cowbelltook this honor, with crew Audrey and Anna Morinboth high-school-aged sailors. In the hotly contestedHeritage Division, open to all boats with hull numbers900 and below, 3rd place went to Daniel Brouder andhis crew in Hull 3 Hustler; 2nd went to Foto Finish,skippered by Scott Thomas, and the Heritage DivisionChampion was Chris Morin, sailing Hull 50 More Cow-bellwith his terrific crew of wife, Becki, and daughtersAudrey and Anna. Finally, in the overall, 3rd place went to Annie, skip-

pered by Gary Gilbert; second to LionHeart, skipperedby Steve Girling; and the winner of the first annualLobster Bowl Regatta was Riva, skippered by WadeEdwards, and his able crew of Ben and Tim. FMI:www. etchellsfleet27.com.

Offshore Special Regulations streamlinedUS Sailing’s Safety at Sea Committee has conducted an

overhaul of ISAF’s Offshore Special Regulations (OSR), whichdescribes the gear required to be used on sailboats when rac-ing in most local and offshore races in the U.S. The US SafetyEquipment Requirements (USSERs) will be implemented bythe 2014 Newport-Bermuda Race. A US Sailing Safety at SeaSeminar will take place March 15-16, 2014 in Newport, R.I.,to provide details on the new requirements.

The key differences between the (USSER) and the Interna-tional Sailing Federation (ISAF) OSRs are as follows: 1. The re-quirements are easier for boat owners and pre-race inspectorsto understand. 2. The requirements are self-contained and donot refer to external documents. 3. The number of race cate-gories has been reduced from seven to three: Nearshore,Coastal, and Ocean. Race organizers can then add or deletegear requirements based on the nature of their individualraces. 4. The requirements are more specific about certainpieces of gear that lacked definition in the OSRs. 5. The OSRscontained both recommendations and requirements whichproved confusing to users, and which increased the size ofthe document. The recommendations have been removedfrom the new version. 6. The requirements are far more com-pact, and can easily be included in their entirety in a notice ofrace or on a yacht club website. Download the new require-ments on the US Sailing Safety at Sea site:http://offshore.ussailing.org/SAS.htm.

New Bedford charity race raises $17KThe Pursuit for Courage

Race, June 29 on the NewBedford, Mass., waterfront,raised $17,000, and dona-tions are still being acceptedfor its cause, the WoundedWarrior Project, which aids ser-vice members who have beeninjured.

The pursuit race was madeup of three classes – Racing,Cruising, and Cruisers Cruis-ing. Entries in the Cruising

class were defined as those without spinnakers; entries in theCruisers Cruising class were defined as those with dodgersand other cruising gear aboard, and the difference betweenthe two was determined by race officials.

The winners were: Racing: Seafest, Ira Perry, J/29; Sterling,Catherine Schmitt, J/105; Wicked 1.0, Andy Herlihy, J/124.Cruising: Kinship, Tom Selldorff, Baltic 52; Sundance, AlbertSignorella, J/100; Synergy, Tom Mckenna, Beneteau 40.Cruisers Cruising: Cricket, Brad Curtiss, Passport 40; Karma,Kevin Rocha, Valiant 37; Ballywoo, Wes McMichael, J/44.

Local sailor Ryan Walsh traveled to Boston, Newport, BlockIsland and Martha’s Vineyard to participate in similar charityregattas and decided it was time to bring the festivities backhome. New Bedford last hosted the Annual Cancer Society Re-gatta Pro-Am back in 1999. The Cancer Regatta was one ofthe largest fundraising events on Buzzards Bay.

Walsh was hoping to have 25 boats registered, but he morethan doubled his expectations with 54 boats. The weatherwas nasty, raining and foggy, and 39 boats started the race.The second annual Pursuit for Courage race will be June 28,2014, in New Bedford Harbor. FMI:www.pursuitforcourage.org.

Division, the racing was tight, as it always is,” saidWilliams. “The gap between us and Courageous wasthree or four seconds in the first race; a bit larger in the2nd and 3rd.”Herb Marshall’s American Eagle

(US-21), the only Twelve sailing inTraditional Division (for yachts builtbetween 1958 and 1970), started atthe same time as the Moderns.Though older than the others, the Ea-gle – built for the 1964 Cup Defense,and famous as Ted Turner’s cham-pion in distance races as far back asthe ‘70s and in 12 Meter events as re-cently as last year’s 12 Meter NorthAmericans – challenged the Modernstactically, adding some close cross-tacking to the on-wa-ter ballet. Turner supplied Bison meat from his ranchfor the 12 Meter dinner on Friday night.The 12 Meter fleet berthed at Bannister’s Wharf

while not racing. On Saturday, the Twelves sailed off-shore on the traditional America’s Cup course wherethe breeze was light despite predictions for a strongernortheast gradient in the open water. One long race pro-vided the platform for an impressive come-from-behindwin by Victory ’83, before the wind took a nap. “You had

to stay in the breeze on this race,” said Williams. “If yougot in a hole, you were slow for a long time. We got rolledat the start by Intrepid, but were able to fight our wayback and win the race.”Though still shifty with varying pressure, Sunday’s

breeze was better, and on the same course three races–the first two in 10-13 knots, the sec-ond in six to eight–wrapped thingsup. Courageous and Intrepid took sec-

ond and third, respectively, in Mod-ern Division, while GuntherBuerman’s New Zealand (KZ-3),sailing in Grand Prix Division (foryachts built for the 1987 America’sCup), won all races against KipCurren’s Laura (KZ-5).The Ted Turner Trophy, awarded

to individuals who have made a significant and lastingcontribution to the 12 Meter class, this year went tothree crewmembers who, according to president of the12 Meter Americas Fleet, Herb Marshall, “have puttheir lives on the line for all, to allow us to race fast andfree.” They were Tony Pierce, USMC, aboard Victory ‘83;Sean Klaboe, US Army, aboard New Zealand; andJames Heckman, USMC, who campaigned USA (US-61) last season before heading to Afghanistan.

Despite not winning any racesthis week, Keane finished in the top three on seven occa-sions through 16 races. “We had never raced Lightnings before, so it took us a

while to get comfortable,” said Keane. “We had to learn how

to accelerate, make tactical maneuvers, and the cadence ofthe wind. It’s a testament to this great event that allowedus to compete at a high level. The boats were similar, whichtook away some of the advantage that the Lightning sailorshere had. Also, with the event being held on a lake, it putthe emphasis on reading the wind and tactical positioning.It’s not all about sailing fast.”US Sailing’s Championship of Champions is recognized

as one of the more unique adult racing events in the coun-try. All helmsmen qualified for this event by winning a2012 or 2013 one-design class National, North American,or World Championship. FMI: www.columbiasailingclub.org.

Slogging to weather for fun and profitBeating to weather is a demanding sailing art, but there's something to be said for playing the cards we're dealt.

My wife thinks I’m critical. I prefer to see it as be-ing analytical. She might be onto to something,however, for when we’re off cruising and cross

paths with a sloop motoring to windward – sail up anddoing the Dacron death rattle – while there’s a perfectlygood breeze blowing, it not infrequently arouses me toconstructive commentary. Beating to weather seems to be held in low regard in

some circles. It’s viewed as inconvenient, indirect, de-manding, slow, tippy, trying and toilsome. We’re in ahurry. We don’t have the time. Trouble is, minimizing ex-posure to the most demanding of sailing arts diminishesthe returns. We need more challenge, more skill andmore sail time, not less. As a practical matter, motoring to windward may save

little real time when you factor in the disruptions tocruising plans dictated by the need to put into port morefrequently to acquire fuel. When you add the noise, de-clining life quality, and subtract the satisfaction of ac-quitting yourself well in difficult going, there’s somethingto be said for playing the cards we’re dealt – and so to atale of just such a day.

Rail down, a heaped slag of sky scudding low, theLeight labored into a corruption of growling seas, tor-rents of spray streaming aft and beating against thedodger like a drum roll. What had looked like plain sail-ing from Northeast Harbor, on Cross Island, was reef cityby the time we clawed past the foaming shoals at FostersChannel and left Maine’s Machias Bay astern.Leigh took the helm and pinched along the wind’s edge

under the jib, while I reefed the main, which not muchlater proved inadequate as the breeze continued to build.It was soon time for the storm jib, our Swedish-built sloopneeding a headsail to claw to weather with authority ina blow. There’s no need to belabor the next few minutes on

deck, but that they were possessed of compelling drama.It was a relief to, at last, sheet in the savagely slattingsail and be off to the races, though we were headed forPortugal on one tack and Quebec City on the other, in-stead of our destination, Great Wass Island, midway be-tween the two.As the ebbing Fundy tide gained the momentum of its

53-foot head of steam, it was a clash of titans, the snotty


blow, from just west of south, stirring up a revolt of war-ring seas. Chiseled swells rose and roared. As far as wecould see, it looked like a stampede of wild horses, theirwhite manes flying. There was not another sail to beseen, just a spume-rent fury molded into a dark and in-different siege of seas that gave the scene a sense of epicproportions.Every swell showed its teeth. A throaty drone

thrummed in the rigging, and a wake of spun glasstrailed astern like a comet’s tail. Juggernauts of liquidpanic broke with a roar, pots and pans rearranged them-selves in the cabin, and seething whitewater raced by,inches away from the cockpit coaming. Easing the trav-eler we slanted through the melee, trying to avoid themadness of snarling sails if we pinched too close. Wind in the 30s, seas in the 20s, the sloop climbed

trembling slopes and dropped into liquid valleys. Therewas a sureness to the way she elbowed through thechaos. On full alert, we watched the telltales intently,playing along the verge, keeping the helm as nuancedas possible, and meeting every sheer of wind and jolt ofwave with anticipatory strokes of the tiller. On one board, we were pleased to find we could lay

Roque Island, which was a tempting place to duck out ofit, but we elected to hang on for the perfect shelter of TheMud Hole, which, but a dozen miles distant as the seag-ull flies, would require sailing twice that far before allwas said and done. Settling into the grind, little conver-sation crossed the cockpit – slam, slash, slap – hour afterhour. Alone on the heaving main, there was a palpablesense of gravity and wild theater to our circumstance. Itwasn’t a madly dangerous venture, but demanded a levelof alertness, care, focus and physicality that was ener-gizing and heady stuff.Dipping, twisting, rising and plunging, we danced the

dance, leaning, bowing, ducking and dodging sheets ofspray flung aft. Hour after hour, we kept her nose to thegrindstone, tacking, tacking and tacking. Lunch, tea andthe cocktail hour went by the board. Coming shiveringcold, we added a sweater and ski hat to our layers andheld on. The thrumming energy of sea, wind and sailwere the only things, as we took full measure of everyminute and mile.As evening showed its colors, we slipped past the light-

house on Mistake Island and into the breathless quietof The Mud Hole, having been part of a spectacle therewas no other way to know but by hard labor. It’d been aday of heroic proportions by our modest measure.

David Buckman studiously avoided a real job in the1970s, and was reduced to cruising the New England andFundy coast in a $400 sloop that leaked like a White Houseaide and was as ill-suited to the task as congress is to civilgovernance.

Cruising advice, pithy sidebars, hairy storiesReviewed by Sandy Marsters

For Points EastBoaters are fascinated by storms.

Even those who never stray far fromthe dock seem to find romance instorms at sea, the bigger the better.In my first boat, I don’t think I eversailed more than a mile from shore.Still, I went home and read AdlardColes’ “Heavy Weather Sailing,” acompendium of horrible things thathappen to boats at sea, time andagain. (I just now ordered thenewest edition.) We eagerly devour “Fastnet Force

10” and Steve Callahan’s “Adrift.”What is going on here? If someonewrote a book about the 10 worst carcrashes of all time (remember, itwas my idea), would drivers every-where be crashing Amazon’s servers

with orders? Dohomeowners lust af-ter stories about ter-rible home fires? (Myidea too.) What is soromantic aboutdreadful things thathappen at sea?In his new book,

“Sailing a SeriousOcean,” JohnKretschmer specu-lates that “Storm sto-ries make us feeluncomfortable, vul-nerable; the notionthat it might verywell have been usbattling treacherous seas andshrieking winds instead of the un-fortunate souls in the book connectsto the narrative, and we can’t turnaway until the protagonists eitherovercome adversity, or don’t.”That’s pretty much the case with

Kretschmer’s book, which is a fasci-nating amalgam of cruising advice,boat-buying tips, and helpful side-bars that ride along on the coattailsof some pretty hairy first-personstorm stories. By far the most en-gaging chapter is called “Storm Sto-ries,” and is simply a catalogue ofnasty experiences like “Force 13 –Atlantic Crossing Gale;” “Cape HornSnorter;” “Hurricane Mitch;” “Cap-

size in Force 10;” “Unexpected Hur-ricane Bob;” “Cape Hatteras Storm;”and “Bay of Biscay Force 10.” You get the point – Kretschmer

has been through a lot of roughstuff. Nevertheless, he keeps pack-ing his sea bags and heading outagain, either on a delivery or, moreoften, running training cruises foraspiring voyagers. Occasionally, it isjust for a peaceful cruise in the Medwith his large family. But his fa-vorite trip is across the pond, a triphe has made nearly two dozentimes.“It may sound strange,” he writes,

“but crossing the Atlantic is soul-soothing to me. “It’s my passage, likegoing to the office. It’s what I do. It’s

what makes my world right again.”Maybe we read these stories be-

cause we so admire the courage andstamina of sailors like Kretschmer.A recent discussion I heard on Na-tional Public Radio noted the popu-larity of movies like “CaptainPhillips,” a film any boater wouldenjoy about a captain anyone wouldadmire and aspire to be. The crux ofthe discussion was that we enjoymovies like this because it gives usconfidence when ordinary peopleovercome extraordinary obstacles tosave themselves.A new, much-awaited film takes a

different, riskier approach to itshero – he loses, an approach notusually seen coming from Holly-wood. In “All is Lost” (a title thatresonated especially for me becausewe had sold our beloved cruisingboat only hours before seeing themovie, and were feeling bereft),“Our Man” Robert Redford doesn’tsay much but struggles mightily ashis boat (a 39-foot Cal, three ofwhich were consumed during film-ing) wallows after hitting a floatingcargo container.I’m not giving anything away that

the title doesn’t already tell us. Red-ford is brave and, at least eventu-ally, resourceful, but he ultimatelyfails. Will filmgoers accept a herowho doesn’t succeed? Watching thefilm, even with the his eventual fateclear, it is hard to believe that Hol-lywood doesn’t save him (it does, ina sense, but that final scene is opento interpretation.)At times in this film Redford has

an uncanny resemblance to the lateDodge Morgan, himself a heroic fig-ure among long-distance sailors.Not only do they look alike, but ifyou ever saw Morgan in action, hisunhurried, deliberate approach ashe responds to various crises seemsmirrored by Redford’s character, un-til when, everything is beat to hellexcept his hair and his eyes, hemorphs for a while into HenryFonda. The only difference is thatwhile Redford drops the F-bombonce during his ordeal, Morganwould have made generous use of it,as he did in any conversation.If you see the film, don’t just sit

there and pick apart this violationof good seamanship or that inappro-priate shackle, as sailors are wont todo. Think of being an old fart on asinking boat in the middle of the In-dian Ocean, and see if that imagereally is as romantic as we make itout to be.One more thing on storms – my

brother recently suggested I read“Halsey’s Typhoon” by Tom Clavenand Mark Drury. This story of theultimate boating disaster in a horri-ble typhoon has been told over andover in books and movies, but it’sstill an incredible tale to while awaya cold winter’s night in front of thefire.

Now that Points East co-founderand media reviewer Sandy Marstershas sold his cruising boat, we nolonger have to worry, at least for awhile, about any Force 10 Cape Eliz-abeth tales.

By Peter J. BourkeFor Points East

As a graying solo sailor, I had tosee “All is Lost,” the newly releasedfilm where, apart from a greatmany fish, Robert Redford formsthe entire cast. It’s a sparse script,and we never learn the name of theone character, only that he is a sail-ing solo through the Indian Ocean’sSumatra Straits.

All ain’t lost: A review of ‘All Is Lost’


I did a solo transatlantic in 2009, at the age of 58, soI expected to feel a certain connection with the cap-tain. Solo transit or not, I’m no master seaman, and Isoon learned that Captain Everyman wasn’t either.The captain was intrepid to be sure, indefatigableeven, but he was a poor seaman. I only feel comfortablein holding this perspective because I know a bit aboutmaking mistakes at sea. I made more of them in myown transit than appeared in this movie, though I didtry not to make them sequentially. That gave me timeto reflect and repair, before moving on to the next blun-der.I’ll give away the beginning by saying that the cap-

tain’s luck started to slip, and through no fault of hisown, when his boat struck a shipping container float-ing low in the water, one of the thousands tossed intothe sea each year from overloaded cargo ships hittinga patch of rough weather. This was an unfortunate de-velopment, though the real problems came later.I harvested a small basket of quibbles from the

movie, which no doubt contributed to my enjoyment.Quibbles such as why he had to whittle a handle forhis bilge pump. Most sailors planning an ocean pas-sage would be inclined to check their boat’s pump – acheck that would require a workable handle – beforeleaving the dock. Speaking of preparation, it seemedcurious that he found it necessary to read the direc-tions for operating a flare just as a potentially life-sav-ing freighter was passing. He’d already been in his liferaft for days. Reviewing the instructions on his signal-ing equipment might have been a good use of time, buthe was more committed to the no doubt fascinating,but utterly useless, study of celestial navigation. Presumably our hero knew where he was when he

met the shipping container. I say presumably becausethere was no evidence from the chart that he kept re-ferring to that he had ever plotted a position. Never-theless, we must assume that he was on a planned andplotted passage. It would also be fair to assume that he knew the pre-

vailing winds and likely currents in that area of theworld’s waters. He could anticipate his drift, but withno way to drive his life raft in any direction, masteringthe art of navigating from the sun was a purely intel-lectual exercise. I’d really like to end my critique of his seamanship

here, but any fair after-action report would have tonote that failing to secure the cap on your only jug ofdrinking water is a Class A felony in a life raft. Also,when it’s sturm and drang time at sea, either do some-thing useful or secure yourself in a, preferably padded,spot until conditions abate. This will reduce the chancethat you’ll knock yourself unconscious by slammingyour head against the mast, the fate that befell ourhero though it did add a splash of color to the movie.

It’s worth remembering that a sailboat is a wind-powered machine. Losing the engine and the electron-ics should not be devastating, but you do have to gosomewhere. Rarely did the movie show the boat goingsomewhere with purpose – with the sails set andtrimmed, rather than just flapping around. In fact, theonly serious attempt to set some canvas was the ad-venture of raising the storm jib, which to my eye ap-peared much too large, and was set far too late. Aseaman would have given priority to setting the stormsail before the tempest arrived rather than taking thetime to shave and putter about the cabin. The delay practically killed him, and the next

domino to fall was that he had no energy left to ob-serve whether the boat was comfortable wearing thenew sail, and was performing like the controlled ma-chine she was designed to be. I suppose the answer tothe control issue arrived when the boat rolled over. Itwas the cascading cluster of catastrophes that wait inambush for all passage makers, held at bay only byforesight and diligence.It’s hard to identify his biggest failure of seaman-

ship. I’m inclined to think it was setting his life raft onfire. Most experienced sailors would consider thatrather egregious, and when one considers the probableoutcomes and consequences, it can’t really be consid-ered a helpful approach. A charitable person might saythat he was too dehydrated at that point to make anyrational decisions (and we know why that happened). Whatever justifications are made for his temporary

diversion into arson, there was really no excuse forleaving his bottle of scotch behind when he took to thelife raft, particularly as he found the time to pack abag of canned goods. Many movies stumble on the details. The movie

“Lincoln” famously misrepresented the principledstand of the great state of Connecticut in the crucialvote framing its story. In the end, though, it doesn’tmatter so much. It’s man, Lincoln or Captain Every-man, battling for a better world, or at least to see theworld for another day. Daniel Day-Lewis redeemed“Lincoln;” his performance showed how Lincoln’scourage and determination led the nation to a betterplace, and Robert Redford transformed “All is Lost”into “Something is Found.” His ability to reflect thosecycles of pain, relief and gratitude that we all experi-ence as we navigate through our days, whether they’relife-threatening or not, showed how we struggle tokeep the reins in our hands. Captain Everyman wasin over his head, but he never surrendered.

Peter Bourke, of Newport, R.I., and his Outbound 44Rubicon completed the solo OSTAR transatlantic sail-boat race in 2009, and his new book, “Sea Trials,” willbe published by McGraw-Hill next June.

RawFaith: A Family SagaWritten and produced by Gregory Roscoe, originalmusic by Gintare; Seaworthy Publications, Fal-mouth, Maine, 2013; $15; one hour, 35 minutes;www.rawfaithmovie.com.

Reviewed by Nim MarshFor Points East

Points East ran Greg Roscoe’s excellent article aboutRawFaith in the June 2010 issue. Early in the piece,Greg wrote: “For those unfamiliar with the story, Raw-Faith is an 88-foot (length on deck) by 26-foot beamhome-built ship constructed over four years in Addi-son, Maine. There are lots of different pieces to thisstory, and the deeper you explore, the more you realizethat its essence cannot be neatly tied up with a bow.This is a complicated story about a man, his family, aboat and a mission.”The DVD, “RawFaith: A Family Saga,” tells this com-

plex story honestly, soulfully, and lyrically, and the cin-ematography and music are at times stunning. Butsome serious red flags about the sanity and in-familydisfunction of RawFaith’s creator, George McKay, areraised early-on. We ran the Greg’s story because we want to better

understand those among us who attempt noble deedsin imperfect ways and learn and grow from their ex-periences. Teddy Roosevelt said it best in his 1910speech at the Sorbonne: “It’s not the critic who counts. . . The credit belongs to the man who is actually inthe arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat andblood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes shortagain and again, because there is no effort without er-ror and shortcoming . . . . so that his place shall never

be with those cold and timid souls who neither knowvictory nor defeat.”George McKay was in that arena, he failed, but he

can know he will never be deemed one of those “coldand timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.” The nobility and purity of the McKay family’s efforts

to build and launch RawFaith is clear throughout thevideo, but at the start, footage of mastheads rolling inwide arcs in a big North Atlantic sea and the broodingbackground music portend a bad ending. We meet thefamily, which, at the outset, is dedicated to the dream,but there is already awareness that this project couldtake a terrible toll. The family members are naturaland honest as they show their excitement, frustrationsand commitment to the vessel. I found the sons par-ticularly impressive: During both successes and tra-vails, they appeared sensitive, thoughtful, analytical,generous and good-hearted.During the first launch attempt, well-wishers sur-

round the marine railway as family and friends pre-pare to let the ship slide. “What’s her name?” cried anonlooker. “RawFaith,” answered one of the McKays. “Well,

they’ve got the right name,” the wag responded. When one of the cradle supports breaks, the crowd –

fervently pulling for the family – was visibly shaken.The next attempt was successful. Spiritual music sug-gestive of Maritimes hymns and sea chanteys helpcapture the emotions of the family and their well-wishers, which included your reviewer, who admits tohaving damp eyes when the vessel finally slid into thesea. This is a beautiful documentary, thoughtfullywrought, about a close family’s commitment to an en-deavor that was doomed from the start.

Sabre Yachts, based inRaymond, Maine, has re-designed the Sabre 54 Sa-lon Express. “The 54represents the most sophis-ticated build to date for theSabre yard in terms of the interior details, state-of-the-art systems arrangements, and overall experience ofownership,” said Kevin Burns, VP of Design and ProductDevelopment. When designing the 54, Burns’ top priority was to cre-

ate an open, airy feel throughout the main salon andcockpit. This was achieved by having only one small stepbetween the cockpit and main salon, and double stain-less-steel companionway doors and unobstructed viewsthroughout the salon. In the cockpit, a SureShade retractable awning is stan-

dard. Also, the Sabre 54 will be one of the first productionboats to be fitted with the Volvo IPS 950 propulsion sys-

Wilbur Yachts, of Southwest Harbor, is still celebrating 40years of building boats. Lee and Heidi Wilbur started the yardin 1973 and developed a loyal following by offering a reliableproduct. In those four decades, they have built well over 200custom yachts – ranging in size from 28 to 70 feet – that aretoday found all over the world. They’ve built boats for WoodsHole Oceanographic and the Smithsonian Institution, for buy-ers on the East Coast and in the Pacific Northwest, for lob-stermen and sport fishermen, and for day-trippers andlong-distance cruisers. “We have just closed our fiscal year,and we are running in the black,” Wilbur reports. “No newbuilds, but the service and storage work has been steady andthe brokerage market is hot.” FMI: www.wilburyachts.com.

GMT Composites, of Bristol, R.I., has submitted designs toNordlund Yachts, in Tacoma, Wash., to craft a set of carbon-fiber sea stairs with eight articulating steps for their latest

build. The lower step will have caster wheels to ride on thepier. The stairs were designed for perpendicular mounting onthe either side of the boat. There is also a trapezoidal plat-form that will mount to the hull along any of three sides withan extension platform that can mount to the side of this plat-form to increase platform area. The stair assembly will mountto the platform so that the stairs can be deployed at three de-fined angles to the hull (15°, 20°, or 55°), depending on theorientation of the platform. When attached directly to the hull,the stairs shall project 90° from the deck edge. FMI: www.gmt-composites.com.

Ray Ellis92, Edgartown, Mass. The nationally recognized artist

died at the Martha’s Vineyard Hospi-tal on Oct. 4. His paintings are in thepermanent collection at The WhiteHouse and museums around thecountry. Ellis sought out beauty in everything. He wasan unwavering optimist and a romantic who imaginedthe best possible reality and then stepped inside andlived it.After serving four years in the Coast Guard during

World War II, Ellis pursued watercolor painting whileworking in advertising to support his family, eventuallyfounding his own advertising agency with offices inNew Jersey and New York. But, from 1969 on, heworked exclusively as an artist.During the 1980s, he and his wife Teddie built their

summer home on Martha’s Vineyard, eventually mak-ing it their year-round residence. In the ’80s, Ellis andthe late television journalist Walter Cronkite collabo-rated on a series of three books depicting America’scoastlines in word and image: “South by Southeast,”“North by Northeast,” and “Westwind.” There are 15other books exclusively devoted to his paintings. For three consecutive years beginning in 1998, Mr. El-

lis was commissioned by President and Mrs. Clinton topaint scenes of the White House to be reproduced astheir official holiday greeting card. His paintings aredisplayed at the North Water Gallery in Edgartown onMartha’s Vineyard, and The Cheryl Newby Gallery,Pawleys Island, S.C. Ellis raised more than $1 million for the Martha’s

Vineyard Preservation Trust over two decades. For 25years, he was commissioned by the Martha’s VineyardStriped Bass and Bluefish Derby to paint yearly Vine-yard fishing scenes from which commemorative limitededition prints were made to benefit the Derby Scholar-ship Fund. His biography will be published in thespring of 2014.

Ethelbert Nevin II80, Blue Hill, MaineAn experienced sailor, who raced and

cruised on both the Atlantic and Pacificoceans and supported that habit withhis day job as a college textbook sales-man, “Berto” passed away on Sept. 23 athis home. Berto lived much of his adult life in San Fran-cisco, but called Blue Hill his real home: His sisters andbrother lived near him, as did his 35-foot Cheoy Leesloop Curlew. In 1980, Mr. Nevin made his longest sea voyage, sail-

ing Curlew 7,000 miles from San Francisco to Blue Hill.It took nine months – down the California coast,through the Panama Canal, over the Caribbean Sea,and up the East Coast to Maine. A few years ago, hesold Curlew because he said the wooden boat was get-ting too expensive to maintain.Berto Nevin spent two years as a soldier in the U.S.

Army’s 4th Armored Division in what was then calledWest Germany. While there, he bought a gray 1963 Kar-mann-Ghia roadster, which he shipped back to the U.S.and kept in Maine. Until a few weeks ago, Mr. Nevincould be seen driving the car, top down, on roads aroundBlue Hill. On returning to the U.S. after his Army service, Mr.

Nevin was hired as a college textbook salesman by theAmerican Book Co. His territory was New England, andhe and his colleagues were known as college travelers,given that they spent a lot of time driving from campusto campus, plying their wares. He liked to say he wasideally suited for the job: Never having read any of histextbooks, while he was a student himself, he said hetherefore had no preconceived notions of what made fora good textbook or a bad textbook. He also noted thathe accepted all promotional sales hype uncritically.After three years with American Book, Nevin moved

to the publishing firm W.W. Norton & Co. In 1964, hemoved to San Francisco and took over a wide-rangingsales territory that took him all over California, Alaska,the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii. While he was in SanFrancisco, he bought Curlew, in 1975, a boat he kept inSausalito and sailed mostly around San Francisco Bayand, occasionally, up the coast to Bodega Bay and downto Monterey Bay. Nevin cruised Curlew throughoutNew England and up past Nova Scotia to the end ofCape Breton Island.Berto was a past commodore of the Kollegewidgwok

Yacht Club, in Blue Hill, and was a member of theCruising Club of America. Until shortly before hisdeath, he was editing “The Waterline,” the newsletterof his yacht club.

LAST WORD/Neale Sweet

Anatomy of a YMCA boat auction

Looking out the kitchen window of our home inCamden, Maine, I could see the remnants ofwinter’s once-white blanket of powder snow that

just a few weeks ago had quickened my inner skierwith anticipation of bluebird days on the slopes of Sug-arloaf USA. But now those wintry drifts of crystallinepure white had faded to ragged patches of dirty gray.The calendar said spring, but there was no indicationoutside the kitchen window that there would be anyspring at all this year.Suddenly the phone rang. It was my sailing buddy

and fellow volunteer at the local YMCA, Jim Bowditch.“Up for a road trip?” he asked. I knew the question wascode for a trip to inspect the prospective donation of aboat to the Penobscot Bay YMCA’s Annual Ned KyleBoat Auction in Rockport, Maine.Back in 1997, a local resident of Rockport, Ned Kyle,

came up with the idea of conducting a boat auction toraise money for the Y. In an earlier life, he had been amember/volunteer of a Y in Florida that conducted

boat auctions every year. In Florida, he had learnedthe fundamentals of running a boat auction. Shortlyafter he moved to Rockport, Ned became a member ofthe board of directors of the Penobscot Bay YMCA andproposed to spearhead a team of volunteers to conducta similar boat auction here in Maine for the PenobscotBay Y.What’s a boat auction? Well, in this context, it’s an

auction in which boats donated by generous commu-nity folks to a YMCA are sold at auction to raisemoney. The boats range from the simplest kayaks andcanoes to 30-foot (plus or minus) power and sailboatsas well as miscellaneous boating equipment such asanchors, life jackets, and the like. The proceeds fromthe auction are donated to the Y.With the board’s approval, Ned assembled a small

team of volunteers to move the auction from idea toaction. The core of Ned’s team consisted of Ned plusEd Hurlburt and Mike Devine, two local do-it-yourselfboatyard entrepreneurs. Ed and Mike had a boat yard

A full auction lot could happen without donors, and each donor’s boat provides funds for the Y’s scholarship program -- from daycare to swimming lessons for kids to Heart Watch exercise for seniors.

and a truck with a heavy-duty boat-hauling trailerthat could handle boats up to about 30 feet and 10,000pounds. They were willing to volunteer their time andthe use of their trailer at no cost to the Y, and all thisat the busiest time of year for their bread-and-butterbusiness – the hauling, storing, and launching of boats. Without Ed and Mike’s support, the whole idea of a

boat auction fundraiser would not have worked. If theY had to pay for the hauling and storing of the boats,the auction would not have been able to generateenough money to make the idea worthwhile. But withthe contribution of Ed’s and Mike’s time and trailer,the whole idea began to make sense.Sadly, Ned passed away in 2010, but his legacy of a

boat auction lives on. Since the first boat auction in1997, the event has raised just shy of $600,000. It isone of the most productive fundraising events for thePenobscot Bay Y.Fast-forward to the phone call from my fellow vol-

unteer Jim Bowditch (yes, he is a direct descendant ofNathaniel.) “There are two boats down on the penin-sula that need to be checked out,” he says. “One’s inWhitehead Harbor. It’s a Freedom 25. The other one’sa 23-foot runabout in Spruce Head. I’m driving downthere around ten this morning. Want to come along?”I checked my calendar. The day was clear. Even

though I’m retired, it’s a rare day when my calendaris free. This is good omen. “I’m good to go,” I reply.

“I’ll pick you up at a quarter to ten,” said Jim, ring-ing off.We needed to inspect most prospective boat dona-

tions before accepting them for the auction. We don’trequire that donated boats be in pristine condition,only that they at least can float. We do accept somepretty marginal boats from time to time, but as a rulemost of the boats we sell at auction are in need of mi-nor cosmetic attention and, occasionally, some me-chanical improvement, but they are all seaworthy, orcan be made so with a little TLC. For the prospectivebuyer/bidder at the auction, this translates to attrac-tive prices.The first boat we came to was “stored” on a trailer

in a soggy field. The trailer’s wheels had sunk up totheir axles in the spongy soil. The “cover,” such as itwas, was torn in several places and slatted in the lightbreeze. The trailer was tilted at an obtuse angle,pointed at the treetops at the far end of the field. We pulled back the tattered cover near the stern and

discovered why: A block of melting ice in a pool ofsnowmelt was heavy enough to push the stern downand the bow up. With apprehension and dread basedon our previous experience with boats like this, wepulled the cover back from the stern just enough togive us room to open the engine hatch. Sure enough,the engine was sitting in a grimy pool of black, oily wa-ter. Exposed raw wire showed through multiple cracks


in the wire casing. We knew immediately our mutual verdict on this

one: Thanks but no thanks to the potential donor. Noway would the trailer be usable. The bearings wouldbe rusted out. We would have to ask Ed and Mike tocome and pick it up with their boat truck. It would costthem more in fuel just to get the boat to the Y than wecould ever sell it for at the auction.So it was on to the next boat, the Freedom 25 in

Whitehead Harbor. Back in Jim’s car, he typed the ad-dress into his portable Garmin GPS and we headed off.The disembodied, simulated female-with-Australian-accent voice on the Garmin sent us down a narrow,tree-lined side road that petered out from pot-holedmacadam to gravel. Suddenly, the trees thinned out,and we saw the second boat, parked in another field. This one was professionally wrapped in white plas-

tic, neatly framed and snugly tied down. There was azip-out access door in the cover on the aft starboardquarter and a ladder lying conveniently on the groundnearby. We positioned the ladder near the access doorand climbed aboard. The owner, and potential donor,had, of course, already given us permission to do so.The contrast between this boat and the mud-miredrunabout with the water-soaked engine couldn’t begreater. This Freedom 25 had been well-loved and meticu-

lously cared for. It was clean in the cockpit, on deck

and down below. Even the dock lines and bumpersstored in the cockpit lockers were clean. And there wasno mold anywhere. Down below, all the manuals werelined up neatly in the starboard bookcase of the sa-loon. Jim and I quickly concluded that this boat was a“keeper.”Jim whipped out his trusty digital camera and be-

gan taking pictures of the boat for use on the Y’s web-site and in the print catalog for the auction, which wasslated for the second Saturday in June (the 14th nextyear) in the parking lot of the Penobscot Bay YMCA.Boats are available for inspection on the preceding Fri-day afternoon until 5 p.m. and, on Saturday morningbefore the live auction starts, at 10 a.m. As has beenthe custom over the years, potential bidders can pickup their bidder numbers and programs starting at 9a.m. on the lawn in front of the Y.Once Jim had finished taking the pictures, he

emailed them to Marcia Roberts back at the Y. She isthe chief fundraising coordinator, and we need to lether know that we have another good boat to add to theinventory for this year’s auction. As the major domo,uber organizer, she keeps track of the hundreds of de-tails surrounding the boat auction. Without her, chaoswould reign. Marcia relayed the news of the new acquisition to

Troy Curtis, executive director of the Y and anotherkey player on the boat auction team who is always

Cory Silken, Marine Photographer

Based in Newport and Boston, CCoorryy SSiillkkeenn provides photography and video to editorial, commercial, fine art, and private clients worldwide. When he’s not busy shooting and

racing Firefly in Newport, Silken frequently travels for assignments in Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean,

and the Mediterranean.

Whether setting the mood for a brochure, capturing the action at a regatta, or making stunning images for a new book, Silkenhas a classy and refined creative palette to make photographs

that are truly memorable.

available to pitch in to keep things on schedule. Troyis a true jack-of-all-trades who is always involved, di-rectly or indirectly, with any and all fundraising at theY. His excitement when Marcia told him that another“keeper” boat had been added to the auction inventoryis palpable.Meanwhile, back in Whitehead Harbor, Jim

Bowditch and I are retracing our route through thewoods and back roads back to Rockport. As we custom-arily do, whenever we can on these inspection trips, westop for lunch, this time at the Owl’s Head GeneralStore where they serve the juiciest “seven-napkin”burgers on the coast of Maine. Pulling into the parkinglot, we are glad to know we’ve found another “keeper”boat for the auction. In fact, the newly acquired Free-dom 25 may be a bit more than a “keeper.” She mayend up the Queen of Auction this year. We know theboat will sell, either at the auction itself or in theweeks following the auction. After each year’s auction, there are always a few

boats left over that do not sell. Most of these boats findbuyers before the start of the next season. The Y’s web-site (www.penbayymca.org) always has an up-to-datelisting of boats available for sale at any time of year.Of course, none of this could happen without the

donors. Each donor’s boat provides funds for the Y’sscholarship program, which enables the Y to make itsprograms and services – from day care to swimminglessons for kids to Heart Watch exercise for seniors –available to all, regardless of ability to pay. In additionto the satisfaction the donor gets from supporting aworthy cause like the Y, he or she also gets a tax de-duction equal to the amount the Y receives when theboat is sold. It’s a true win-win-win situation. The Y’scash flow gets a boost; the donor gets a tax deduction;and Jim and I get to do one of our favorite activities,“messing about in boats” as we perform our inspectionduties.So, if you are looking for a sailboat, powerboat, row-

boat, dinghy, canoe or other boat from eight to 30 feetlong or more, at a bargain price, check out the Ned KylePenobscot Bay YMCA Boat Auction, either in personat the event or online at www.penbayymca.org. Theevent itself is pure entertainment – a mix of medievalcountry fair, working man’s down-home version of afancy “Boat Show,” and a random assemblage of folkswho love boats. Put the event on your calendar: Satur-day, June 8 at the Penobscot Bay YMCA in Rockportfrom 10 in the morning till about noon.
