EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Marsh

The mother and father of all family cruisesBuying a secondhand book is like digging up some-

one else’s time capsule: Voyeur-like, you become privyto hints of lives of people you’ll never know and arecompelled to read between the lines of enigmatic in-scriptions on the flyleaf. Thus it was with delight thatI read an epigraph I understood, inscribed by an indi-vidual whose name I recognized – a mariner whom Iheld in awe.“May you always have a lee berth!” the dedication

reads, and it’s signed by one Wayne Carpenter on Oct.10, 1984. The exclamation point at the end of his wishmight be significant, for it is unlikely he was guaran-teed a cushy leeward bunk during his 15,000-milecruise from Newport Beach, Calif., through thePanama Canal, and up and down the easternseaboard between 1978 and 1981. You see, Carpenter,former editor of “Rudder” and “Pacific Skipper” mag-azines, had a three-generation crew of five – himself,wife Kristina, midteen daughters Lisa and Jennifer,and Wayne’s mother-in-law Dorothe – and they alllived quite happily over the sea miles aboard a trail-erable 27-foot sloop. In his book about the voyage, “The Voyage of the

Kristina,” Carpenter writes: “My goal in sailing off inthe Kristina was to have a family adventure.” ButDad, Mom and the kids would have been a more “nor-mal” family contingent: How did a mother-in-lawhappen to sign on as crew with four others aboard aboat with an eight-foot beam, a 23-foot waterline, andan 8,000-pound displacement?Well, aside from being a wonderful lady and an im-

portant cog in the family wheel, she also was a closetadventurer. During an earlier voyage aboard a shop-

worn 33-foot wood boat named Marie-Rose II, thefamily asked Dorothe to fly to the Canary Islands tovisit them when they called there. Instead of flyinghome, she sailed back with her loved ones. “We discovered on that trip that Dorothe never be-

came seasick, was always happy, a good school teach-er, wonderful poetry reader,”Wayne Carpenter writes,“. . . and she was more than willing to take on less de-sirable boat jobs such as laundry, mending, dishwash-ing and cooking.”Designed by Lyle Hess – from whose board came

Lin and Larry Pardey’s 24-foot Bristol Channel cutterSerrafyn of Victoria – Kristina also had a fine pedi-gree and, on paper, seemed up to the task. Buying abare Nor’Sea 27 hull put the project over the top.With an empty canvas below, Carpenter could cus-tomize the accommodation for its crew of five.“We wanted to see if we could keep the three gener-

ations together, rather than leave the grandmotherbehind to worry and wonder,” Wayne writes. “In avery real sense, it was a rather bold experiment infamily togetherness.”And through calms and storms, exhilaration and

anxiety, clarity and uncertainty, the experiment wasby all accounts successful. Grandma disembarked inPanama knowing she would not have to “worry andwonder,” and Kristina, continued northward towardthe Canadian Maritimes.And what about that cushy lee berth Carpenter

wished for a friend in the flyleaf of a secondhandbook? Perhaps a figurative philosophical lee berth isguaranteed to all who choose the road less traveled –replete with family, of course.

A small sailing-for-science glitchEditor’s note: Roger Long and his son Mike are re-

searching carbon-monoxide absorption in the Gulf ofMaine aboard his Endeavour 32 Strider out ofPortland (See Perspectives, June 2009). Below is an in-transit report.I just received a call from Fundy Traffic saying that

we would be refused entry into Canadian waterssince they do not have in hand a letter from theirDepartment of Foreign Affairs giving us permissionto conduct oceanographic research in Canada. I’vespent six weeks emailing and calling people inCustoms and Coast Guard trying to find out if anysuch thing was required. Anyway, it looks like we will be confining our re-

search to U.S. and International waters this trip.Someone at the university is going to see if they canget the problem resolved while we sail up the coast,but I’m not optimistic. The fellow at Fundy Traffic,whose name I did not get in my shock, said he wouldtry to find out more for us. He doesn’t know anythingabout the letters except that there is always one inhis file when a research vessel calls up to enter theirsystem.There is still plenty of very valuable research we

can do on this side of the line. We will just do a morethorough job of transects up the river outflow lines.Mike will see more of the Maine coast which will benice.

Roger LongPortland, Maine

Roper’s prose carried me awayI have just finished reading David Roper’s

Perspective in the May issue. It is just outstanding.His clear and delightful narrative just carried meaway; his philosophy would move the Dalai Lamahimself. Thank you, Dave, for making my day!

Merit, mirth in ‘Cruising Rules’ We were pleasantly surprised at the June book re-

view of “Cruising Rules” by Roland Sawyer Barth. Wehave been carrying two or three copies of this book onboard our boat, Arion’s Ride, for the last four sailingseasons. One copy is dog-eared and has been read and re-

read. On foggy days at anchor someone pulls out the

book, starts reading and starts laughing – laughingat how disarming Roland characterizes the rules, butalso thinking that at some point on a trip someonehas broken the rules. The other copies of the book areon hand as “boat-warming gifts” when we are invitedover to someone else’s vessel for cocktails, or when wethink a crew is in need of the book and a laugh! Anyone who cruises will appreciate the book. We

have been replenishing our book supply (as well asour candy supply!) at the Round Pond General Store,Round Pond, Maine. You might even happen across asigned copy.

Maya CohenCape Elizabeth, Maine

Roland Barth responds: I’m delighted you andothers have found some merit and mirth in “CruisingRules.” When I was writing it, my fantasy was thatseafaring folks would read a chapter or two overdrinks in the cockpit after a long day on the waterand, between guffaws, reflect on their own stories andmaybe even craft some rules to accompany them. Soyou have fulfilled my wildest hopes. A beam to you andto Arion’s Ride.

Reciprocity for all clubs eyedOn the Editor’s Page in the December 2008 issue

you wrote: “But most often, yacht clubs are as warm,friendly, charitable and egalitarian as any other so-cial affiliations.” Well, over the past winter, the HullYacht Club (HYC) has been working hard to promoteexactly that attitude toward cruising sailors. The club has formed a Cruising Committee that

hopes to foster a revival of casual cruising within ourown club and to strengthen reciprocity relationshipswith other clubs. We have been reaching out to areaclubs, and the response has been very encouraging.Ultimately, we’d like to see most New England yachtclubs welcome members from other clubs as a routineoccurrence.As a first step, we are encouraging members of re-

ciprocating clubs to visit us. HYC is located onAllerton Harbor in Hull, Mass. We are just insideHingham Bay off Nantasket Roads, the southern ap-proach to Boston Harbor. For boats transiting southor east, we make a convenient layover. Commuter boat service to Quincy, Logan Airport,

and downtown Boston is available from PembertonPier in Hull. Provisions, laundry, and marine servicesare all nearby, as are beaches and other recreational


facilities. Our anchorage is well protected and one ofthe prettiest in the area, being surrounded by Hull’shills and harbor islands. A chart is available athttp://www.hullyc.org/hull_bay_chart.pdf.For sailors from reciprocating clubs, we offer full

use of all facilities, including moorings, free of chargedepending on availability. Club facilities includelaunch service, showers, temporary dockage with wa-ter and electric, full kitchen facilities and the club bar.Best of all is a huge, covered porch with picnic tables,rocking chairs and grills, where visitors will alwaysfind a warm welcome from club members and apanoramic view of Allerton Harbor. Our website –www.hullyc.org – offers a wealth of information aboutour club and the local area. We feel strongly that reciprocal privileges benefit

everyone. For the cruising sailor, a warm welcomeand local knowledge are always appreciated. For theclub extending privileges, visitors always bring newknowledge and experience to the table. It may takesome time, but it would be nice if some day clubsaround New England welcomed each other’s mem-bers, no charges, and no hitches. Clubs that wouldlike to join our cruising community should contact usat Hull Yacht Club, P.O. Box 796, Hull MA 02045.In the meantime, give us a shout on VHF Channel

71 or a call at 781-925-9739. Our friendly member-ship looks forward to your visit and sharing stories onthe porch.

PE T-shirt enriches social lifeI wore the maroon Fundy Flotilla shirt, my Mystery

Harbor prize, all day while working on boats up here.There’s no bottom paint on it yet, but drips will in-evitably appear, perhaps today as I’m scheduled topaint a deep-keel sailboat bottom white.At the hardware store, someone asked if I’d ever

been to Grand Manan (it’s listed on the back of the

shirt), and I said I hadn’t yet, but we wanted to go,and then I spent a few minutes describing the honey-moon camping trip my daughter and son-in-law tookthere two Septembers ago. The person asking wasborn on Grand Manan and was tickled that youngfolks nowadays would think to go there for such a spe-cial part of their lives.

Dave TewSouth Boothbay Harbor, Maine

The Heislers of Chester, N.S.When was the article “Cultivating the Quiet Side of

Cruising” by David Buckman written? We cruised inNova Scotia for four summers, returning to Maine in2006. The Heisler yard, where we kept our boat, hasbeen run by Cecil, Clarence’s son, for many years; infact, Cecil himself has just recently retired. In 1967-68, I sailed those waters with Joe Field who circum-navigated Newfoundland in the 36-foot Casey-builtAlden yawl Venture. Clarence was then in his prime.The yard was (and is) on Gifford Island; I wasn’taware of a shop in Chester. We keep our boat inPemaquid Harbor “next door” to Mr. Buckman.

Andrew GraingerPemaquid Harbor

David Buckman writes: Thanks for writing. NovaScotia’s a beautiful place to cruise and the people arethe finestkind. Just looked up my notes from thatcruise, one of three to the provinces, and made in 1994.It mentions our meeting “Mr. Heisler” at Heisler’sBoatyard in Back Channel at Chester. The Heisler family had a number of marine busi-

nesses in the Mahone Bay area, and at the time wewere celebrating Cleve’s last day aboard with marti-nis, w/o vermouth, before he was to fly home, and myfirst-name recollection might have been compromised.Perhaps another reader can set us straight on whetherit was Clarence or Cecil or something else.

How are you fueling?With all the chatter at the end of last season aboutthe effects of storingEthanol-added E-10 fuel intanks over the winter, I'mwondering if any of you hadany problems as you start-ed this season? If so, whatwere your problems andwhat were your solutions? Ilayed up with both tanksabout 3/4 full of E-10,added a liberal amount of Startron and everything

started fine and has been running well – knock onfiberglass. How about you?

MYSTERY HARBOR/and the winner i s . . .

Winner goes way back with Mystery HarborThis is the Harbor of Refuge,

Sandwich Harbor, in Sandwich,Mass., at the east end of the CapeCod canal. The photo looks easttowards USCG station, restau-rant, and right-hand corner ofthe harbormaster office. My memories of this spot start

in 1950s and continue to today.My family cruised from PalmerCove Yacht Club in Salem, Mass.,to Cape Cod in July every sum-mer for two to three weeks. We cruised my dad’s boat,the Marlin, a 38-foot Matthews, along with my grand-father’s boat, the Althea II, another 38-foot Matthews.

We would often stop in harbor ofrefuge awaiting tide conditions topass through the canal. Backthen, we would anchor out, waybefore the marina. The fuel dockback then was for fishermen. Then along came Ed Moffatt

and his fuel dock, and later Edwould become harbormaster. Edwas a great person to know andbecame a good friend over many,many years. When I was a boat-

delivery captain, I was always stopping in or layingover awaiting weather, and Ed was great to talk with.Ed had an old wooden 40-foot raised-deck Wheeler


motor yacht that was always un-der going refit/upgrade/repairs.In my early days, I recall an

open/small harbor with piers forfishing boats and USCG docks.Then along came Ed and the townmarina. The harbor early on al-ways had a restaurant near theUSCG station. Now, today, one canwalk to stores/shops nearby. Theharbor is well protected and quiet,great stop or layover anytime.I recall back in mid-1960s pick-

ing up a sailboat that a cousin ofmine had purchased, a 35-footNew Bedford sloop. We arrived ona Friday evening and were anxiousto get under way back to Salem.There was a crew of six onboardfor the trip. As my cousin got un-der way from the dock toward thecanal, I was on the foredeck, hank-ing on a headsail (before furlers). A greenhorn crewmember was

sitting portside aft in the cockpitas we entered the canal. Thegreenhorn suddenly made a loudstatement: “Boy, it got real dark all

of a sudden.” Once I heard hiswords, I turned backwards andlooked upwards. I ran aft, pushedmy cousin away from the helm,pushed the helm hard over, andpushed the throttle down. My cousin yelled, “What the hell

are you doing?” I told him to lookup. The ship, a big ship, was righton top of us. It felt like we couldtouch the side, and we veered awaythankfully. Hearts pounding, wewere all pretty shaken up. I statedthen that whenever you are exit-ing Sandwich Harbor, you look upas much as down/all around. Itwas a close call, and all readersshould heed my advice and be cau-tious.Another episode occurred when

laying over in 1980s one night.Come daybreak, we foundsoot/ash/slime from the power-sta-tion stack all over the boat.My best memories are layover

days waiting for weather andspending time talking with EdMoffatt. The ’70s and ’80s saw

many charter boats filling dockspaces, and now there are mixedboaters and not many sailboats.Ed Moffatt was the best thing thathappened to the Harbor of Refuge,Sandwich Harbor. In the early1980s, it seemed I was stopping byevery three weeks on my waysomewhere with someone’s boatbefore becoming a full-time marinesurveyor.Fond memories of a great

Harbor and a great person in EdMoffatt.

Wait out the tidesat the Aqua GrilleI am sure I am not the first, but

I am pretty sure it is the little har-bor at the east end of the Cape CodCanal. I believe the building in thebackground is the very deliciousrestaurant Aqua Grille. We love itand have used that harbor to seekrefuge awaiting the tide change.

Pat CookCataumet, Mass.

It’s Harbor of RefugeI’m thinking that is the

Sandwich Marina at the Cape CodCanal. Which, if you are oldenough, you might recall was orig-inally the Cape Cod Canal Harborof Refuge. I recall anchoring in themiddle of this basin one trip head-ing east when I was a kid. Today,you couldn’t anchor if you had tobecause it’s been filled with slips. Sometimes progress is a good

thing as in more recent years Ihave enjoyed stopping at the fueldock for diesel, water or an errantcrewmember before sailingovernight for the Penobscot Bayarea. Of course, I, too, have soughtrefuge in this same place. On one trip to the southward, we

overheated the diesel and endedup in there hoping to find a me-

The bitter and better of Boat BasinThe Mystery Harbor for June 2009 is the Sandwich

Boat Basin. As I have boated out of Woods Hole for anumber of years, I have stopped in there severaltimes. I have a couple of tales for you. The building in the

background is actually two buildings. The near one isthe Aqua Grille, operated by the Zartarian family,which is one of our favorite dining spots. That is in-volved in Tale No. 1. On returning from Plymouth afew years ago, our plan was to stop at the Boat Basin

for fuel (both for the boat and ourselves at the AquaGrille) and wait for a fair current in the canal. Afterpurchasing over $200 worth of fuel, we were told thatwe could not tie up for an hour at one of the manyempty slips while we had lunch. As there was no placeto go, we bucked the current in the canal and ate inOnset instead.Tale No. 2 is a more pleasant memory. We were

joined last fall by some old high-school friends. Peteris a retired USCG captain, and that brings us to thesecond building which has the cupola. That is theSandwich Coast Guard Station. Peter’s father was al-so in the Coast Guard and used to command thatbase. We were able to tie up and have lunch, and fol-lowing that, we enjoyed a most interesting tour of thestation, including a climb into the cupola which af-forded a panoramic view of the canal entrance andadjacent waters.After enjoying Points East for many years, I am

thrilled to finally recognize a Mystery Harbor.Joel Petersonm/v After You

My one-off friends and what makes them tick

Awandering mind is a troublesomething, can lead to mental acts of so-cially incorrect nature – or to a boat-

ing column like this one.Murray Peterson was a magnificent de-

signer of traditional, wood-built sailboats,and was known for his schooners, of which Ihave owned two. He was also known for hisaesthetic awareness and frugality. His ves-sels are gorgeous: As he once said to me, “Iwant an able boat. I want a durable boat. Iwant a boat that is a joy to row up to.” Hewould mow around the good-looking daisiesin his lawn. He built a shed for his littleschooner so tight around her that he had tocut the handles short on his paint brushes. Fenwick Williams was an associate and friend of

Murray, a designer most known for his catboats, whoalso drew extraordinarily precise plans for designerslike Alden, Stephens, Nielsen and Herreshoff, despitebeing so myopic that the tip of his nose brushed hisdrawing paper. Fenwick designed a six-foot, pram-bowed, flat-bot-

tomed boat Murray called a cat box. Fenwick couldpass her mast through openings bow and stern andspin the boat around so he could paint her complete-ly while standing just on one side. He enjoyed sailinga dinghy on a beat, powered only under a kite on astring. When suffering from Alzheimer’s disease,Fenwick happily noted, “I have new friends each day,and I can hide my own Easter eggs.”Ted Hood is the most likely candidate for being

named the most broadly active innovator of the mod-ern age in yachting, sailmaking, rig configuring, hulldesigning, and racing. Ted seems not able to do any-thing the way it has been done before. He is also wellknown for being taciturn. He has nothing to say onany nonboat-related subjects, and his boat talk con-sists significantly of affirmation grunts and the wav-ing of his huge hands. I once witnessed him on an hourlong new boat sea

test during which he said not one word, but preciselydirected a crew while at the helm by hand gestures,pointing at an individual, pointing at a winch, spin-ning his hand in circular motion, clockwise for trim

and counter for start, doing the flat-hand-stop motion, and interspersing allthis mute with motivational nods andthumbs-ups. It is, however, an awesomeif rare transformation to loquaciousnessfor Ted when he possesses the evolution-ary power of two martinis. Gary Jobson is known to sailors for his

extraordinary tactical racing skills, andis widely known for his image as a TVbroadcaster on matters sailing. I am con-nected to Gary because we are both vic-tors in cancer battles and because hesailed on my Wings of Time for an MSRegatta off Portland. Gary put on a clin-ic of organization and leadership, direct-

ing a landlubber crew to tasks so well described andassigned that the boat wove through the race fleet asif operated by a practiced team of professionals. I wasself-embarrassed to consider my boat had never beenso efficiently sailed.Walter Greene is a quiet presence in Yarmouth,

Maine, a multihull guru who has designed them, builtthem, and raced them solo, but whose sailing life hassignificantly been a ride under the media radar.Walter does not employ a public-relations practition-er. My favorite photo of Walter is one of him sitting on

a log looking, as he always does, like a casualty in anepoxy-weapon war. He was wearing boots awesomelyadorned with fiberglass preparations, and the picturewas in the newspaper with a story about his beingsponsored by Sebago Shoe Company. When I went to the French Paris to speak with a

noted designer of fast singlehanded boats, I asked acab driver if he was aware of Philippe Jeantot, whothen owned the solo-circumnavigation record, and heshot back, “Yes, the guy who sails alone.” I then askedif he ever heard of Walter Greene, and he answered,“Yes, the American who sails alone.” Right then Ilearned how popular solo sailing is in France and howbetter known Walter is there than here.

Watching vastness and why we do it

Late afternoon finds her standing atthe very edge of the sea, waves justtouching her toes, the rising onshore

breeze lifting her hair, sunlight glowingagainst her skin and faded neon bikini.One of the locals, one of the women whobrings no accessories to the edge of theworld, stares seaward, watching some-thing invisible to the summer people whowalk behind her, between her back and thedunes. Now and then, some inlander stopsto follow her stare, focusing and refocusingon the immensity of waves beyond the surf,then gives up and strolls on, content to looka few yards ahead. Only the other localsknow that the woman watches vastness.So writes John Stilgoe in his book

Alongshore. It makes me wonder: Why do we watchvastness? We sailors look seaward, yearning, search-ing, but it’s not just because we’re sailors. The lands-man who lives on the shore does the same. Are we at-tracted to water because we ourselves are 72 percentwater? Or that our earth’s surface is 79 percent wa-ter? Or do we look out to sea because of our inquiringnature as humans? Do we want something that is“out there” because it’s not “here?” Why then, whenwe sailors are finally out on the vast empty sea, do wethen look and yearn for land. Perhaps it’s all about “looming.” Herman Melville

writes of it early on in Moby Dick, on how, on anySunday afternoon, there are “thousands upon thou-sands of mortal men fixed in ocean reveries…someleaning against the spiles; some seated upon the pierheads; some looking over the bulwarks of ships fromChina…as if striving to get a better seaward peep.”Seamen knew this act of gazing over the horizon as“looming.” I remember first thinking about this looming busi-

ness during an offshore delivery from Rhode Island toSt. Thomas, late one fall many years ago. I had asketchy boat and an even sketchier crew of three: twounsavory characters I’d found in a bar in Edgartownand a big, tough, red-headed, ex-Vietnam helicopterpilot turned Mississippi River towboat pilot friendwho had never seen the ocean but thought this wasas good a way as any to get a strong dose of it. I told Big Red as tactfully as I could that, well, it

would be different out there on the ocean, that shoreand society wouldn’t be close as it is on the river, thatit would be day after day of vast open ocean and, per-haps, huge waves and storms. Big Red looked at me,leaned towards me, and cocked his head inquiringly:“I ain’t afraid of any of that dying stuff, if that’s whatyer getting at,” he said. End of discussion. Anyway, when we got offshore, I noticed how every

one on board, myself included, fell into looming mode,

especially Big Red, who, despite any landbeing hundreds of miles off, just keptwatching the vastness, looking over thehorizon. One hundred miles short ofBermuda, the ocean began to get rough.Then it got rougher. When we went off aparticularly large wave, and the combina-tion engine box/table in the center of thecabin lifted up off its mountings, we calledit quits and hove to. When it got too scary up on deck, we all

went below and lay on the cabin sole, ex-cept for Big Red, who squeezed into a port-side pilot berth. When we fell off anotherbreaking sea, and Big Red was thrown outof the berth and into the cabin table, hesheared off half of one of his front teeth.

“Makes me look tough I bet, don’t it?” he asked. And when we were completely submerged by a

third wave, and the cabin interior went quiet andturned Atlantic Ocean green, Big Red started calmlysinging Dylan’s “Oh, Mama, Can This Really be theEnd.” Obviously, it wasn’t. When we finally did get toSt. Thomas, I gave Big Red his return air ticket at athatched bar on a pier end in Charlotte Amalie. Hewas staring out at the harbor’s mouth, lost inthought. I was doing the same. I was thinking of vastness

and how, after more than two weeks at sea yearningfor land, here we were staring out to sea again. I wasthinking about how, as humans, we’ve been aroundfor a mere 200,000 years, compared to our four-bil-lion-year-old oceans. Our planet’s highest mountainswere once covered with water; up on Mount Everest,we’ve found fossils of animals that once lived at thebottom of the sea. Really, I thought, we humans arejust highly specialized fish adapted to our 21 percentlandmass. Our limbs came from fins; our jaws fromgills. So maybe that’s why we still look out to sea, andthen look back. Just then, Red, still looking seaward, interrupted

my thoughts. “How about another Heineken there,Cappy, before you and me dive into them fish tacos?”he asked. I looked over warmly at my old friend; we’d been

through a lot together, and his spirits had never wa-vered. I wanted to say that to him, but I didn’t. “You know, you’re really a fish, Red,” I said instead. He scratched his big red beard and turned to look

back at me, his broken front tooth giving him a jack-o-lantern look when he smiled. “I been called worse,” he replied as he threw a big

arm around me. And then he lifted his empty greenbottle toward the bartender.Dave Roper lives, sails and writes out of

It was not such a bad grounding after all

The Pool on Great CranberryIsland, Maine, was a beauti-ful anchorage, still as glass.

We slipped the mooring at six inthe morning, at better than halftide. My last sight, before I as-sumed lookout duty on the bow,was a seagull’s reflection keepingpace with his flight across the sky. As long as we kept close to what

the cruising guide called the“beach,” we would be in the chan-nel, the good water flowingthrough the narrow inlet out to thepassage between Great Cranberryand Little Cranberry. We motoredslowly, carefully. Just as I turnedback to the cockpit to say thisdoesn’t look good, we found therock that stopped us.As the tide dropped, we lay down

on the starboard side until ourboat, our home on the water, became an alien thing, a wooden jun-

glegym, with angles so askewthat I struggled to climb to thegalley to make a peanut-buttersandwich. We figured we’d startto right around 1 p.m. when itwas half-tide, again. About threehours into our wait, our firstSamaritan showed up in aZodiac, Edgar and his first mate,6-year-old Oliver. “I heard thefishermen talking about you onthe radio,” he called up to us onthe slanted deck. “Thought I’dsee if you needed help.”We clambered down and

walked around the boat withEdgar, talking through the prob-lems. There would be a fairamount of current comingthrough the inlet in a few hours,and when it came, it might pushus away from the channel, far-ther onto the rocks that were, bythen, showing all too clearly.Edgar and my husband Andrewthrew possibilities at each other,and tried to forsee what havoc

the rising water might play. We could set the plow off the bow and the Danforth

off the starboard quarter to keep us from sliding ontothe rocks. We could run a line under our bowsprit andhave Edgar pull us into the channel when the tiderose. We could pull this way or that, but, in the end,we decided we’d let the tide lift and the current moveus as they would, and we’d control our course with theengine, once we were in the water. Edgar waited withus, just in case, and Oliver tracked crabs among therocks until the tide came up. By 1 p.m., two hours before high, we started to

move. In fits and starts, the bow inched up and to theright, away from the passage. The current into the in-let was running about four knots, we estimated, andturning into it as we came loose would be more of achallenge than we wanted. Better to break free andgo back into the Pool with the current, then circletightly before heading back to the channel. We would-n’t have much time or space to maneuver, but withAndrew ready at the helm, we thought we could pullit off. We continued to stand up, with our bow being

pushed back into the Pool, when a lobsterboat, JennyD, appeared. I thought she was pulling pots rightwhere the channel opened into the Pool. “Just what

we need,” I said to myself. “A working boat, just wherewe’re going to need to circle.” We continued to inch upand to the right, pointing directly at Jenny D. Itdawned on me that she wasn’t working after all; thecaptain and his sternman were sharing a drink. Ifumed silently: “Why do they have to sit right there?” We got the engine started as we came off the rock,

slipped into the current, and headed back into thePool to circle. And Jenny D, our second Samaritan,moved aside, and slowly motored past us as we cir-cled. We turned toward the passage, staying close tothe beach, and followed Jenny D as she showed us thechannel.We looked around for Edgar and Oliver, to wave our

thanks, but they were gone. When we called later,Edgar said he left us once he saw we were all right.So we waved to Jenny D and got a lobsterman’s un-derhanded wave in return.

NewsThe Lyman family from Rockport, Maine, is moving

aboard Searcher, their Bowman 57 ketch, and will beheading south in late August. The parents, David andJulie, will be home-schooling their kids, daughterRenaissance (10) and son Havana (8), as they visithistorical sites, museums, islands and harbors alongthe way. David, a photographer, writer, filmmaker, and

Points East contributor, wants the kids to meet upwith other kids on boats and KidsOnBoats.net is away of sharing the adventure and making friendsalong the way. The website will provide articles, im-ages and videos of the family’s adventures and dis-coveries. The website is also a way to engage the kidsin the processes of storytelling, writing, image-mak-ing, researching and reporting, all of which give pur-pose to their home-schooling.Other families living and cruising on boats are in-

vited to join the website, which will contain a registryof boats and families, a map of harbors where familieswho are afloat are moored, as well as maps that indi-cate the best kid-friendly beaches, harbors, islandsand museums. KidsOnBoats has it’s own burgee,which David’s kids helped draw and color. The web-site will be a place where families on boats can shareinformation on home-schooling, health, cooking, com-munications, Wi-Fi Hot spots, provisioning, and espe-cially things to do ashore. The Lymans will spend the winter in the

Caribbean, and in the summer of 2010 it’s either off

around the world, back to Maine, or east to theMediterranean. Visit www.KidsOnBoats.net and tellDavid what you’d like added or changed.

Briefly


Each of the five New England coastal states has expectations of its young mariners,whether residents or visitors. Here’s how they can have maximum fun lawfully.

Bailey and Tyler Cornell are completely at home and at ease aboard their parent’s Nonsuch 30 Halcyon, thanks to the seadisciplines imposed on them by their parents, and courses provided by the Connecticut Dept. of Environmental Protection.

Children are in water-related accidents everyyear. Some are injured, and some die needless-ly. Personal Flotation Device (PFD) require-

ments, boater-education laws, water-safety coursesall differ from state to state, and parents need toknow the rules in their home states and whereverthey cruise – and take responsibility for the actions oftheir offspring. Here is what each of the five coastalNew England states expects of its young mariners,

and how they, in turn, can measure up. Connecticut: Of the 300,000 certified boaters in

Connecticut, roughly 11,500 are under 18, says JohnAnnino, supervisor at Connecticut’s Department ofEnvironmental Protection (DEP). New in the Nutmeg State is the life-jacket age as

well as changes in boat operating and water skiingregulations. As of Oct. 1, 2008, anyone under the ageof 13 must wear a life jacket at all times when on aboat that is under way. The only exception is when heor she goes below deck or is in an enclosed cabin.

“Another child law is that nobody under the age of16 may operate a personal watercraft alone. If theyare under 16 and have a personal-watercraft cer-tificate, they must have someone who is 18 or olderwith them who is also certified. And for children un-der the age of 12 who want to operate a boat, it can’thave any more than 10 horsepower if they’re under12 and certified. If they are over 12 and certified,they can operate any boat they want to,” explainsAnnino.One of the new laws that went into effect on Oct.

1 allows for anybody under the age of 16 to operatea boat uncertified as long as there is somebody onboard who is 18 or older and has been certified forat least two years. “That law came about from theold tradition that some fathers said, ‘I learned to

operate a boat because my fatherlet me take the wheel, and wethink we should be able to do thatwith our sons’,” he said.When it comes to water-skiing,

the observer must be at least 12years old. “And on personal water-craft, you can’t have anyone aheadof the operator. It used to be that aparent operator would put theirchild ahead of them, between themand the handlebars. That’s illegalnow. If they put them behind themlike they’re supposed to, both ofthe child’s feet must be firmlyplanted on the deck. They can’t bedangling there so the kid flies off.” The Connecticut DEP will teach

the basic boating program to any-one at any age. “We like them to beat least 8 years old to take thecourse,” Annino added. “As long asthey take the course and pass thetest and send in their applicationwith $25, we’d be happy to sendthem a certificate.”For elementary-school-age

boaters, Connecticut offers the

AquaSMART Program, designedto teach aquatic and boating safe-ty. There are two versions: one forkindergarten through grade 2, andanother for grade 3 through grade5.

“They teach safety rules on andaround the water – not just boat-ing but things like learn how toswim, don’t dive unless you knowwhat’s underneath there becauseit could be shallow water and youcould break your back, don’t pol-lute, go with the buddy system. It’swater-safety rules as well as boat-ing-safety rules,” Annino explains.“We go in and show them a video

and give them handouts they cancolor and with questions they cananswer. We reward kids with giftsthat are conducive to learning –pens, pencils, rulers, erasers. Thenwe leave a copy of the video and amaster copy of all the printed stuffand give them a diploma, too. For alot of kids, it’s the first officialdiploma they get in their lives.”For more information on

AquaSMART or certification, con-tact the DEP Boating Division at860-434-8638.

Rhode Island: According toRhode Island state law, all chil-dren under age 13 must wear a lifejacket whenever they are aboardand under way. “We also have amandatory boater education lawthat covers everyone born on or af-ter 1/1/86. There is no age limit fora boating-safety certificate. You

classes that parents have to takeresponsibility for the actions oftheir children. We also stronglyurge parents not to allow childrenunder the age of 16 to operate per-sonal watercraft.” On request, officers from the di-

vision conduct boating/water-safe-ty lectures at schools. A coloringbook for children with a section foruse by teachers to make studentsaware of boating-safety issues hasbeen developed.Since the mandatory boater-edu-

cation law went into effect, morethan 2,300 people born on or after1/1/86 have met the requirementsand have received certificates.“Just remember: It is not the

youngsters that are the problemon the water,” Scanlon maintains.Additional information on boat-

ing-safety education and coursescan be found atwww.dem.ri.gov/topics/boating.htm.

Massachusetts: In Mas-sachusetts, children under 12years of age must wear a USCG–approved Type I, II, III, or V PFDwhenever above deck on any vesselunder way.“Boat Massachusetts” is a state

and nationally approved coursethat, according to theMassachusetts EnvironmentalPolice, “addresses fundamentalsafety concepts and emphasizesthe operator’s legal and ethical re-sponsibilities. It targets the boat-ing novice, especially youngboaters (12 through 15 years ofage), who are required by state lawto complete such a course in orderto operate a motorboat withoutadult supervision.” The course concentrates “on the

equipment and operating guide-

lines needed to enjoy boating in asafe and responsible way.”Successful grads in the 12-through 15-year-old age group areissued a Safety Certificate that al-lows them to operate a motorboatwithout adult supervision, as re-quired by state law. The same istrue for 16- and 17-year-old youthwho wish to operate a PWC. The course runs 10 to 12 hours

TheCertificate is in the same format as a li-cense, with name, address, date of birth,and physical description as well as the dateof issuance and number of the certificate.On the backside is one’s test grade, instruc-tor’s name, and certification source. Approximately 2,500 15-year-olds ob-

tained a Safe Boater Education Certificatein 2008, reported Tony Cardoza, programcoordinator for Boating Education in NewHampshire’s Department of Safety. “Wedon’t teach anyone younger than 15,” in-formed Cardoza. Roughly 12,500 16 to 19year-olds received certificates in 2008. “Ourlargest volume [of students] is May throughAugust,” he added. The website

www.nhboatingeducation.com lists all of the classschedules. “For those who would like to take the classonline or through home study, they need to go to oneof our locations and take the exam. The website tellsall about the law, the information they need to know,it lists the classes, and allows people to sign up forclasses online,” explained Cardoza.

Maine: A person under the age of 12 must be underthe immediate supervision of a person located in theboat who is at least 16 years of age when operating amotorboat with more than 10 horsepower, accordingto Maine’s laws. A person under 16 years of age maynot operate personal watercraft. Those between 16and 18 may operate a personal watercraft if they areaccompanied by a person 18 years of age or older or ifthey have successfully completed an approved educa-

tion course. Both proof of successful course comple-tion and proof of age must be possessed while operat-ing a personal watercraft.“A boat operator’s license is not currently required

in the State of Maine. Maine does offer boating safe-ty courses, but it is not currently a requirement,” saysWendy Bolduc of the Maine Department of InlandFisheries and Wildlife. Laws, personal safety, and re-sponsibility are covered in boating-education courses,along with how to properly operate and maintain aboat. While wearing a PFD is not normally required by

law, there are some exceptions: Children 10 years of

Another way to learn about the seaThe Oliver Hazard Perry – named for a Rhode Island-born

commodore who routed a British fleet during the War of 1812– will serve as a floating sailing school for students and ap-prentice seamen. Tall Ships Rhode Island, a Newport nonprof-it, bought the roughly 140-foot-long steel hull in Septemberfrom two Canadian businessmen with the goal of converting itby 2011 into a sail-training vessel. “The ship will never carry a passenger,” said its director,

Capt. Richard Bailey. “It will carry only those who come aboardto learn. The lessons may be very different for different agegroups, but the ship’s mission is education.” The Perry is expected to sail 40 weeks a year, traveling the

East Coast and Canada in the summer and to the Caribbeanin the winter and serving as an ambassador for the state byflying Rhode Island flags. She will spend the rest of the yeardocked in Newport. The ship will be manned by a core profes-sional crew, with berths for about 30 or more high school andcollege students looking for sailing training and participating insemester-at-sea programs, Bailey said. The organization israising $5 million to build the ship and will operate it on a $1million annual budget, drawn mostly from tuition.Michael Jarret, who teaches marine technology at Chariho

Regional High School in Richmond, R.I., and who last yearsent 18 students on Tall Ship sailing-education programs, saidhe expected his students to benefit from the new ship. “If theprogramming was something like semester-at-sea, thenChariho students would be involved in that,” Jarret said. FMI:www.tallshipsrhodeisland.org,

age and under on board all watercraft must weara Type I, II, or III PFD. According to Michael Sawyer of Maine’s

Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, “The onlyavenues that we have for kids to take a class isthrough our conservation schools, We don’t havemuch demand for boating safety. It’s not manda-tory. A lot of times we don’t even get enough [ap-plicants] to hold a course.”Course information is posted on

www.state.me.us/ifw/ under “Education” coursesas the department is notified by instructors andsponsors of upcoming programs.So parents, wherever you live in coastal New

England, make sure that your children take ad-vantage of the boating-safety courses that areavailable. While the rules and regulations of everystate differ, they all have one common goal: to pro-tect young boaters. And this should not only guar-antee many happy and healthy summers in youroffspring’s futures, but it also should bring yousome much-needed peace of mind.

A resident of Killingworth, Conn., Susan Cornelland her husband, Bob, “pretty much live at PilotPoint during the summer” – between southern NewEngland cruises with their kids aboard theirNonsuch 30 Halcyon, that is.

S/V BANSHEE Boundless Banshee

This was the world of the Sailmaster 22 Banshee for nearly 40 years.

Illustration by Paul Mirto/marineillustration.com


Four generations ofPotters and their friendsenjoyed this Sailmaster22 for close to fourdecades. How lucky cana family and a boat be?

By Dr. Ben PotterFor Points East

In June 1971, I traveled toStamford, Conn., to inspect a22-foot Sparkman and

Stephens-designed Sailmastersloop with cruising rig that wasadvertised for sale. I had lookedfor ages for a small but seaworthysailboat for the Maine coast. Theidea for the Sailmaster came fromBlueberry, our friend Dick Aiken’sdaysailer model, which was heavywith a full lead keel and center-board. The boat that I saw in Stamford

was perfect for the Potter family –four berths below with two quar-terberths and two V-berths. It car-ried a through-and-through headand a sink with storage lockersand was the perfect boat for in-shore sailing. The outboard wasenclosed in the well with room fortwo six-gallon gas cans very sepa-rate from the cockpit. I bought theboat for $4,600 after a quick phonecall to my brother Paul in Buffalo,N.Y., to see if he wanted to be a co-owner. I always remember hisquick decision to sign on then andthere.This boat was built in

Rotterdam, Holland, and dis-placed around 3,600 pounds. Theboat drew two and a half feet withcenterboard up and five feet withit down – perfect for beaching ifnecessary or shoal-water sailingand just what we were looking for.She was named Banshee, after theJohn Alden-designed R-Classsloop owned by my father, MiltonG. Potter, and sailed on Lake Eriein the 1920s.

We moved the boat in stages to Pepperrell Cove inKittery Point, Maine, where we later purchased ourown mooring, which I am still using. The first lap wasfrom Stamford to Point Judith, R.I., with the help ofPaul and Dick Aiken. Then, it was through the CapeCod Canal to Scituate, Mass., with the same crew,each lap done on successive weekends. Finally, wesailed across Boston harbor with all the traffic and in-to Manchester, Mass., where cousin Harry Holcombjoined the party and Aiken went home. Hencethrough the Annisquam River to NewburyportHarbor, where friends Georgia and John Pendletonjoined the party. Leaving Newburyport with the current of the

Merrimack River flowing against a flood tide provedto be a Nantucket sleigh ride through a narrowbreakwater into a dense, foggy ocean. The compasscourse brought us directly to Whaleback Lighthouseat the Portsmouth Harbor entrance, having seennothing but each other along the New Hampshirecoast. It was a relief and exciting to be on a mooringin Pepperrell Cove at least. Hooray! Our own boat, and what we didn’t know

then was that ownership would last 37 years and in-volve four generations of Potters. Wow.Our mooring in Kittery Point was purchased from

Frank Frisbee, Sr., then the mooring man here, for$125, including block, chain and buoy with pendant.

We commuted from Concord, N.H., for sailing, theneach spring would sail the 50 miles east to CliffIsland, Maine. It was the custom to stop halfway,overnight, in Kennebunkport, sailing each way,spring and fall. Paul and I often did this together, butmy two boys did their share, as did my second wife,Judy, in all manner of good and bad weather. Paul drifted away one cold, rainy Sunday night in

Kennebunkport when the dinghy tipped him out as Ibounced onto Banshee. Poor Paul drifted away withthe flood tide with all his foul-weather gear on, andthe two oars disappeared away into the darkness. Hegrabbed the bobstay of a Friendship sloop as he float-ed by while calling out for someone to pick him up. Icouldn’t see or hear him, but a nearby boat ownercould while making love in his own cabin. He jumpedinto his dinghy without pants and only a terryclothshirt on and delivered Paul back aboard Bansheewhile shaking with cold.Brother Grove also helped move the boat to Casco

Bay. He had a bladder obstruction one rainy nightwhen everything ashore was closed. With the help ofthe ship’s catheter and a tube of Crest toothpaste asa lubricant, Grove, a doctor, relieved his problem upon the deck, thankfully in the dark, while insisting Istay below in the cabin out of sight. Many memorable experiences occurred during

these sails, including a rough passage with Judy in a

strong southwest wind when she was new to the boat.We were clawing our way around Cape Arundel withshort tacks when Judy’s thumb became entangled inthe jib sheet and winch. To this day there is no feelingin the thumb tip.Four generations have sailed on our boat for 37

years. My mother, Helen Potter, loved to go sailing inCasco Bay while enjoying lying flat out on the enginecover to have her picture taken. I have recently seenher comments in the guest book we kept on the boat.My first wife, Joey Potter, who had long-term multiplesclerosis, also got a big bang out of short sails whilelying on cushions on the cockpit floor. This requiredthe boys to roll her wheelchair down the ramp to thefloat and manually lift her over the safety lines anddown to the cockpit. It was exciting to see her bigsmiles as the boat heeled and she shouted for morewind. Joey loved Cliff Island in Casco Bay and all thatwent with it.It became a tradition for the three Potter boys –

Grove, Paul and me – to take an annual sail 17 milesto the east of Cliff Island to Harbor Island andSebasco Estates, near Small Point, where we wouldgrab a mooring and enjoy the dinner and breakfastamenities before starting back to the island the nextmorning. It was fun being the smallest boat in theharbor beside the maxi cruisers that were alwaysthere. Photo courtesy Dr. Ben Potter

We would also some years, with time to spare,cruise farther east, stopping overnight at the favoriteharbors of Christmas Cove and the Coveside Marinawith owner Mike Mitchell, Tenants Harbor and theEast Wind Inn with manager Tim Watts and themorning blueberry pancakes. Then one year, wesailed down to Swans Island and, eventually, toSouthwest Harbor, where we moored at Steve andDick Homer’s anchorage. Judy’s son, Dick Harris, and his wife, Kim, intro-

duced us to the Homers as they rented a Homer cot-tage every summer while operating their gift store inBar Harbor. Visitors at the Homer float were alwayscurious as to the absence of GPS and radar on our lit-tle sloop, but we preferred instead to plot courses andfollow the compass. Paul would never roll out of his bunk in the morn-

ing on these cruises, choosing to sleep in while Groveand I would row ashore to search a big breakfast, fillour coffee Thermos and row back to roust Paul out for

the day’s sail. It was three men in a tub, but a prettyclassy tub at that. We would also always search out adecent restaurant for dinner in the evening after along day of sailing. These experiences on Banshee willnever be forgotten.My sons, John and Ben, also enjoyed their time

aboard the boat and would often sail the boat down toKittery Point and back from Cliff Island. I remembercutting across the forbidden water in front of GeorgeH. W. Bush’s house in Kennebunkport when he was inresidence. The Coast Guard crash boat chased usback into bounds, farther away from the Bush’shouse. While in Kennebunkport harbor one morningwith son John, George Bush came alongside Bansheewhile John was fussing below deck. President Bushcomplimented me on a beautiful boat while I wasbanging on the deck with my foot, top no avail, tryingto reach John belowdecks. The Bush boat departedwhile John emerged topsides to ask about the deckpounding. I just said I thought he might like to meet

My first wife, Joey Potter, who had long-term multiple sclerosis, also gota big bang out of short sails while lying on cushions on the cockpit floor.This required the boys to roll her wheelchair down the ramp to the floatand manually lift her over the safety lines and down to the cockpit.

his President. It was, “Ha, ha” and “Gee Dad” afterthat. So many fun experiences. John, Ben and Heather definitely developed a love

for the ocean and boats from their experiences aboardBanshee and at Cliff Island. They would help mepaint the bottom and prepare the boat in the springat early ages and from that time onwards. Heatherand Dave McClelland and family enjoyed their timeon board over the years, too.The fourth-generation children also had wonderful,

learning sails at Cliff Island, and this also made mevery happy. John went on after marriage and a fami-ly to buy his own Sea Sprite 28-foot sloop, FlyingGoose, with childhood pal Johnny Pendleton. Aftermoving to Yarmouth, Maine, son Ben owned theTidley Idley, a small Eastern lobsterboat. The BenPotters outgrew this boat to have a new 22-footEastern built, with all the bells and whistles, to com-mute to their neat house on Cliff Island and to lob-ster-fish with eight-year-old Sam Potter. I have a feel-ing that all started with Banshee.It should be pointed out that throughout our

Banshee ownership, Paul assumed most of the majorexpenses of storing and upkeep of this little boat. Hisideas of improvement as we progressed were alwayssuccessful, and Paul was generous beyond reason.There were new lifelines, a newly built hollow wood-en mast, a topside gelcoat job – all major endeavors –and Paul did it all. He and I owned the boat for many

years, then Grove became a partner, and later sonBen joined when Grove retired his interests. The en-tire saga unfolded for 37 years.We came to the point in 2008 when all owners

agreed that it was time to divest ourselves of the boatsince all of us had motorboats and sailing time wasreduced. The decision was made to donate Banshee –including a new GPS and all equipment aboard – tothe Maine Island Trail Association. It was like losinga family member. I remember the late Olin Stephens,with whom I made an acquaintance, saying that heremembered designing the boat in 1963 and that itwas one of his favorite small hulls. He also stated thatas he got older he realized that the fun in sailing wasinversely proportional to the length of the boat –some statement from a man who designed the 130-foot Ranger, the America’s Cup J-Class yacht in 1930. We can only be thankful that we have enjoyed this

marvelous boat for so long. How lucky can a familybe? There is a beginning and an end to everything,and our end has come with our little Banshee. Sillily,I kissed her on the transom when I said good-bye.End of story.

Dr. Ben Potter currently lives in Kittery Point,Maine, where he now tends to his lobster traps aboardKittery Belle. He still frequents Cliff Island in thesummers and sails at every opportunity.

When you’re on vacation and you spend yourdays being very active, sniffing around anew beach or town, you sleep pretty soundly.

I don’t remember waking up at all during the night,and morning has come so quickly. Rob says it’s al-ready 6:30, and we have more travel ahead of us to-day – but first we’ll be having breakfast, a dinghy rideto town, and a good run/walk about the island. I can

tell travel days, becauseafter Rob plans any-thing, everything getsstowed – he doesn’t likethings flying aroundwhen we roll from an-other boat wake or seaconditions. In the little town of

Cuttyhunk, Mass., wehead off toward the fer-ry landing for me to “domy business.” Along theway is the old CoastGuard living quarters,now a private resi-dence. Its large lawnholds not one but two ofthose little furry rabbitcreatures having theirbreakfast of grass. I can’t contain myself and let out acouple of barks; Rob tells me to keep it down, but thisis so exciting. After my business is finished, we head back to our

boat, Dalmation, a 32-foot BHM Downeast motorboat,and we get ready to leave. The oil gets checked everyday, and we’re up and running. It’s a little foggy thismorning: Rob will be using all the electronics today.

His laptop is fired up, Isee where we are on thescreen, and when we goup to the bow, I see theradar turning on top ofthe pilothouse. Once clear of

Cuttyhunk, we stay in-side the ElizabethanIslands. Rob tells methat his grandparents (Iguess they’d be my great-grandparents) lived andworked on PasqueIsland. When we goalong the northern coast,he points that island outto me. These islandshave funny names. Whenwe round the tip of

Nashawena, Rob says we’re going to swing intoHadley Harbor just to check things out. Woods Hole isoff our port bow, but we’re turning sharply to the rightto get out of the current trying to pull us out to sea. Rob says we’ll be spending a night here in a few

days, but he just wants to check the anchorage areasout. There are two – one outside and a bit unprotect-ed, then a real nice anchorage/mooring area tucked

Chatham Harbor . . . Wooo-wooooo; I mean, yahoo! Our boat fitright in with all the other workboat types that were mooredthere. Makes you feel like you belong, which is important tofour-footed mariners.

inside of Bull Island. Thereare a couple of bright-whitebuoys that Rob says are ac-tually Coast Guard moor-ings, but they only usethem in storm conditionsand are free to anyone atall other times. We slowlymotor up the channel andto the head of the creek,where a little private ferrymakes its arrival on a runbetween Nashawena andthe town of Woods Hole onCape Cod. There are manymoorings, but plenty ofroom to drop a hook –something Rob says we’llbe doing here in a few days.We head back down the

channel, people looking at me as I walk round andround the decks. Once clear of Hadley Harbor, Robtells me to get inside because it will be tough navi-gating up ahead. The cut known as Woods Hole hasextremely strong tidal currents. Just outside thechannel, there are large rocks, and we saw a largeHatteras stuck up on them a year or two ago after ithad ventured only about 50 feet from a marker.

The channels hereform a triangle, and youmust follow your chartsextremely carefully.Today, we have the cur-rent going with us at al-most five knots. Robkeeps the Whaler closeto the stern on a shorttow, and we head for thechannel calledBroadway. Now I’vebeen to New York City,and I’ve walked all overManhattan, but I can’tremember ever being onBroadway and not see-ing large buildings anddogs being walked bypaid dog-walkers. Rob

assures me that this is not the same thing, as he hasa tough time meeting other boats while we passthrough obstructions just outside the channel, whichgives me the impression of being on a white-waterraft ride.Clear of the harbor, we round the entrance buoys

and are now in Vineyard Sound. Rob turns us towardsthe North Channel, keeping us above many of the

shoals running betweenCape Cod and theVineyard. Visibility hasgone way downhill, as itoften does in the summeraround these parts. Robmakes sure that heknows where we are onthe paper charts, keepsanother eye on the radarset to three miles, andanother on all the othernavigation equipmentand engine-monitoringsystems. He says we al-ways need redundancy.I’ve never metRedundancy, but if hesays so . . . . He says weshould know where weare on the laptop, where we are on the GPS, where weare on a second GPS, where we are on a Loran, andwhere we are on paper. This way, if anything goeswrong, we can easily find out where we are. I need anap.A little while later, I hear Rob talking with a

Nantucket Ferry leaving Hyannis. We can’t see eachother, but Rob just wants them to know we’re not go-

ing to cross in front ofthem. The captain on theferry asked Rob how heknew exactly which boaton the radar he was. Robreplied that using theADF (automatic direc-tion-finder) along withthe radar, he could tellthat the ferry’s radiotransmission was comingfrom the exact directionthat the large blip was onthe radar screen.Amazing, I say; it’s reallytime for a nap.Shortly after my lunch,

we start to slow down a bitand Rob brings in theWhaler onto a short tow.

This must mean we’re nearing an area of restrictedmobility; in other words, we’re here. I leap out andrun up the decks to see the entrance to Stage Harbor,Chatham, appear out of the fog. Chatham, near what Rob calls the elbow of Cape

Cod, has two separate harbors: Stage Harbor andChatham Harbor. You can only get to ChathamHarbor by going way outside Monomoy Point, then

Dalmatian, a 32-foot BHM Downeast-style motorboat, sits atanchor waiting for Rob and me to board her and set her free.

crossing a sand bar that is right off the Chathamlighthouse and Coast Guard station. At the entrance to Stage Harbor, there are beaches

on both sides of the cut – lots of people out and about,and I get to go right down the middle of it. A black dogof some sort is running on one side, and a cute littleGolden Retriever is on the opposite side. Like TomCruise said in the movie “Top Gun,” “This appears tobe a target-rich environment.”Rob talks with the harbormaster’s office on the ra-

dio, and we’re given a mooring assignment. You cananchor here, but it’s a bit out of the way. The mooringsare right near the harbormaster’s office, with niceheads and plenty of places to walk me. Once tied up,Rob talks to someone on the cell phone, then we’re inthe Whaler and off to shore . . . wait a minute, who’sthat on the dock? I know those people: It’s Mom andDad! I start whining uncontrollably until we’re along the

little floating dock, then I jump to the dock and greetthe rest of my family. After a short walk for me to domy business (and Rob to pick up after me), we all pileinto the Whaler and head back to the boat. This isgreat; I can keep an eye on everyone.After lunch, we all decided that a Whaler ride

would be in order – up the Mitchell River and to thedinghy dock, and then a walk through town. TheMitchell River runs up past Stage Harbor Marine, be-

neath a scary little draw bridge, then past lots of lit-tle quahog fishing boats. It winds itself up to the headof the harbor in Little Mill Pond, where town moor-ings are here for smaller boats. From the moorings atthe harbormaster’s office, it’s a 15-minute dinghy ride– too far to row, but a nice leisurely ride with a smallboat. We tie up at the dinghy dock, and we’re off.

Everyone admires the beautiful houses, flowers andtree-lined streets of Chatham. I happen to like all thesmells, and the people walking by holding ice-creamcones. We walk and we walk, and after visiting thetown bandstand (where I’m summoned by severalfamilies with little kids to be petted and hugged), wehead to the ice-cream shop. Here’s another great thing about my family: They

usually only get things they can share with me.There’s no chocolate ice cream in anything they get –that’s very bad for dogs. I get to try some of every-one’s, and it’s all delicious. Rob says he and I will needto do a run in the morning to work off all my calories.You’d think I’m fat the way he talks. Mom finds ashop that she goes into. She comes back to the door,and says we both can go in. Both? Rob and me? Yup,it was the pet store I had eyed from across the street. Oh boy, what great smells! Treats everywhere. Rob

lets me sniff all the different bins, toys, and treats,

Mystic River Yacht Club’s frostbite regatta on Sunday, May 17,was a bonus day added by the race committee to offset earlier racesmissed due to bad weather. In the first week we had no wind, im-mediately followed by two weeks of gale-force Sundays. Even thisSunday was “iffy” with 15 knots gusting to 20 out of the north. Strong winds made for some hot racing with tight competition.

This is the third col-legiate sailing national title the Eagleshave won in school history.For three days, the top 14 schools in

the nation raced for the title from theTreasure Island Sailing Center, hostedby California Maritime Academy andthe University of California, Berkeley.The top four finishers from groups 1and 2 move on to the “elite eight” beforethe “final four” competitions.By the conclusion of the Gold Round,

only B.C., St. Mary’s, Georgetown andYale remained in contention for the ti-tle. And when the dust settled, the 13-4record amassed by the Eagles had wonthem the title. St. Mary’s record was 12-6; Georgetown’s 10-7; and Yale’s 9-8. Senior skippers Brian Kamilar

(Miami, Fla.) and Adam Roberts (SanDiego, Calif.) sailed every race for theEagles, while Taylor Canfield (St.Thomas, USVI), Parker Dwyer (Stuart,Fla.) and Tyler Sinks (San Diego, Calif.)split up the skipper duties in B.C.’sthird boat. Crewing were seniors CarrieAmarante (Wayne, N.J.), Lauren Gilloly(Wyckoff, N.J.) and Andrew Schneider(Newport, R.I.), juniors Evan Cooke(Andover, Mass.), Christian Manchester(Barrington, R.I.) and Sandy Williams(Chicago, Ill.), and sophomore DannyBloomstine (Erie, Penn.).

A2N family affair for Gibbons-NeffsRambler, the Reichel-Pugh-designed 90-foot maxi yacht

owned by George David of Stamford, Conn., captured linehonors for the 62nd Annapolis to Newport Race (A2N).Rambler crossed the finish line off Castle Hill Lighthouse withan elapsed time of 44 hours, 36 minutes and six seconds.That was slightly less than two hours shy of the courserecord of 42 hours, 58 minutes and 12 seconds, which wasset by Joseph Dockery's Farr 60-footer Carrera in 2001. David Askew, owner with his wife Sandy of Flying Jenny VI,

a J/122 from Annapolis, took 1st place in a hotly contestedIRC II fleet. “It was a nail biter,” said Askew. “We had a wildride down the bay and kept our chute up as long as we couldat a very hot angle, passing quite a few boats just as weturned the corner and headed out of the bay doing 14.2

knots.” Under the heading of “Family Affairs,” Peter Gibbons-Neff

skippered his Farr 395 Upgrade, with daughter Lyndsey in thecrew, to first over the line in IRC II but corrected to 3rd in thishotly contested class. Son Peter, a Midshipman at the NavalAcademy, sailed on the NASS entry Seawolf, finishing 3rd inPHRF I. Sewall, whose mother is Peter’s cousin, sailed onAmadeus in PHRF II.

Briefly


You must use the racing rules to be successful“Revised Racing Rules of Sailing” are

published every four years. This year is thestart of another new set of rules, and al-though these revised rules are not a drasticchange from the previous four years, therehas been a few significant changes. I have been racing through five of these

revisions and certainly have seen majorchanges such as the inclusion or deletion orrewording of the two-boat-length circle,“hunting rule” and mast and beam to namejust a few. Having spent many hours bothon and off the water studying the rules andputting them into practice, I have devel-oped a few quick thoughts about how to useand study the rules that may help you have more funon the race course.Number one lesson is anticipation. Having been a

fairly accomplished junior sailor, I presumed I under-stood the rules well from an early age. However, hav-ing raced with some of the best college sailors in theworld, in boats that were exactly the same speed,showed me and every new college sailor that therules really need to be used to be successful. To this end, I learned that using the rules meant

having an understanding of how the ruleswill make your competitors act or react ina given situation, and that this under-standing should provide you a game planto attack each section and point of thecourse. For example, the rules state thatwhen approaching a windward mark thatwill be rounded to port, and when ap-proaching on port tack, you are not enti-tled to mark room from a starboard-tackboat (see rules 18.1, 18.2, 18.3). These rules really need to be in your

sailing subconscious, and they will helpyou set a game plan for the start, first up-wind beat and windward-mark rounding.

Basically, you don’t want to approach a crowdedwindward mark on port because you won’t haverights to round that mark unless you have plenty ofroom so you don’t affect a starboard tack boat. So how do you study these rules without getting

completely bored, confused or frustrated? Well, first,don’t be intimidated by the rule book. Although it is153 pages long, there are only about 10 pages thatyou really need to know. The book is available fromUS Sailing, our country’s governing organization.

If you are a member of US Sailing, you get a rulebook with your membership. Another great resourceis Dave Perry’s, “Understanding the Racing Rules ofSailing,” again published by US Sailing and availablefor sale online at ussailing.org. Mr. Perry has been in-timately involved in the description, writing andteaching of the rules for over 20 years. His book in-cludes each rule, a description of the rule and visualdiagrams of each situation the rule applies. OK, so you have a rule book and want to know how

to attack it. Well, turn to page 151; the ending is al-ways better than the beginning right? On page 151 isthe start of the definitions. These definitions are theterms and their meanings are used throughout therule book and on the water when discussing situa-tions with your crew or competitors. Terms such as Clear Astern, Finish, Mark-Room,

and Tack need to be clearly understood before you caneven start to read the rest of the book or successfullycomplete a race. How do you know you have evenstarted or finished a race without knowing what therules define as start or finish?Once you have read and understood the definitions,

it’s time to see how they apply to the rules. “WhenBoats Meet,” the title of Part Two of the rule book, isonly six pages long. These are the rules that often arecontested between you and your competitors and arethe rules that need to be clearly understood to help

you make decisions on the race course about whereand when to avoid contact with another boat. The rules are written in such a way as to give each

boat a fair chance of completing a course without col-liding with another boat. For example, Rule 14, avoid-ing contact, is required not suggested. The rule bookuses a line in the margin to show the areas that havebeen changed from the last rule book. Most of PartTwo has a line next to each paragraph, but don’t wor-ry, the reason for most of the lines and changes aredue to the way the wording has been written to moreclearly explain each rule and hasn’t actually changedthe way the rule is applied on the race course.Now that you have attempted to have a better un-

derstanding of the rules, it’s time to relearn that theyshould be used to anticipate your competitor’s movesand to setup your own moves to avoid collisions andto safely complete a race. The rules should not beused as an “I am right and you are wrong” confronta-tion, as each situation is subjective, and we all screwup at one time or another. Finally, if you screw up, andthere is any question about it, make sure you admit itto yourself and your competitor by doing your penal-ty turns or taking you scoring penalty. This may bepainful, but helps you remember why you shouldavoid certain situations in the future.Carter White owns Regatta Promotions (www.regat-

striped bass, bluefish, scup, seabass and fluke. Each fish has aparticular habitat it prefers.Striped bass like structure. Areasaround the Point Judith LightHouse; Deep Hole, Matunuck; andSouthwest Ledge and North Rip,Block Island are all great locationsto search for that 50-pounder. Live

eels are great for that specific bot-tom gully, while trolling wireworks better to cover a greater ter-ritory. Parachute rigs, tubes andworms, and umbrella rigs are allgreat lures for trolling.

Bluefish cover lots of territoryand are frequently found chasingbaitfish. Watch for top-water ac-tion from the center wall of theHarbor of Refuge to Green Hillalong Rhode Island’s south shore.Fish will mix with stripers on theNorth Rip and Southwest Ledge ofBlock Island. The lure of choicewill depend on the depth of thefish. Such top-water lures as aRebel or Yozuri plug work great,while fishing for deep fish with an

umbrella is perfect. Scup and sea bass prefer rock-bottom areas. The

center wall of the Harbor of Refuge, Nebraska Shoals,and Green Hill are all great spots. Squid is just aboutthe best bait for both species. These fish seem to bitebetter as the water temperatures warm.

Fluke (summer flounder) frequent sand-bottom ar-eas. Outside the center wall of the Harbor of Refuge,Five Cottages and Carpenter’s Bar (Matunuck), andBlock Island’s west side are all some great locations.It’s imperative to hold bottom as straight up anddown as possible. Casting up into the tide helps.Bucktails, fluke rigs, banana jigs all with a strip ofsquid and a smelt or spearing are deadly. The offshore fishing should be getting better daily.

Sharks will be in search of bait fish/bluefish. Jenny’sand Ryan’s Horns are the starting points for thesebig-game trophies. Blue sharks, makos and thresh-ers are all fair game. Be sure to try different levels of

the water column. Sharks seem to move east as tem-peratures warm. The Mud Hole is a great spot to trytowards the end of July.Finally, bluefin tuna. Hopefully, the inshore

bluefin fishery is rewarding. Just south of Block, theFairway Buoy and the Acid Barge are good startingpoints. Fish early in the month are caught trollingHex Heads, Zuckers, and Jet Heads. Spreader barsand chains also work well to set up bait patterns. Asfish concentrate, anglers can convert to chunking but-terfish later in the month and possibly as late asAugust. Tight lines and good luck in search of thememorable catch, no matter what size it may be.

Holbrook’s General Store,in the historic fishing villageof Cundys Harbor inHarpswell, is a piece ofMaine’s past, and of its fu-ture. Part of a parcel savedby the Holbrook CommunityFoundation in 2006, whichincludes a commercial wharffor working fishermen, asnack bar and restaurant,and a beautiful old house,the store is both a local stopfor food and gifts and a tes-tament to the goodwill ofneighbors determined to con-tinue the traditions of a com-munity. The General Store dates

from 1898 and, along with the house and wharf, wereoriginally owned by the Trufant family. EdwardHolbrook bought the property and started Holbrook’sin 1908, which he ran till his death in 1953. In the1930s, the store burned down and was rebuilt in the

same location. The store was also the lo-

cal post office for manyyears, and you can still findthe old post-office boxes nextto the register, turning greenwith age. After EdHolbrook’s death, his daugh-ter Christine Miller ran thestore until the 1990s. Holbrook’s Store and

Holbrook’s Snack Bar havelong been the center ofCundys Harbor, supplyingboth the necessities of lifeand a social outlet for atight-knit community. Whenthe property was put up forsale in 2005, that community

was galvanized to find a way to save both their towncenter and a working wharf. Holbrook is open frommid-May to mid-September to serve the community,seasonal visitors, and mariners, both recreational andcommercial.

Holbrook’s General Store knows the way to cruisers’ hearts

Edward and Alice Holbrook established Holbrook’sGeneral Store more than a century ago in 1908. AfterEd’s death, his daughter Christine Miller ran the storeuntil the 1990s.

Whether cruising long distanceor taking an afternoon ride, picnicsare often the highlight of the boat-ing experience. In fact, picnics areoften the whole raison d’etre forthe exercise. With this wonderfulobsession in mind, we asked someof our contributors to share withus their favorite picnic spots forfamily boating expeditions.

On the Connecticut shore,Susan Cornell writes: “We tend todo all of our picnicking either pool-side at the Brewer’s Marina inWestbrook. Or we’re on the boat inthe slip, or at a gazebo overlookingL.I. Sound, but we’re usuallyat Brewer’s. We’re really not liter-ally poolside because that’sagainst the rules.. it’s more of agrassy area with picnic tables inclose proximity to the pool. SinceBrewer’s is on Route 1, we’re morelikely to pick up pizzas or seafoodor the famous Beach Donuts forbreakfast. “Or, perhaps half the time we’ll

bring burgers and hotdogs tothrow on the grill. I always do thepacking and grab whatever’s inthe pantry on the way out the door.We pretty much dine onFluffernutters while underway!Fluffernutter is the ideal boatingfood since it’s the same in May asit is in October without refrigera-tion, which is particularly impor-tant since we have an iceboxrather than a refrigerator onboard. The person in the galleysays eat it or wait until there’sa choice on land.”

Michael L. Martel writes fromRhode Island: “To us, the perfectpicnic spot is one that is not terri-bly distant but feels well removedfrom our everyday surroundings.

Such a place is the half-mile-longunnamed stretch of sandy beachon the southwest side of PrudenceIsland in upper Narragansett Bay.It stretches away to the southeastfrom Pine Hill Point. The beachfaces the prevailing southwestbreeze in the summer: Find it onChart No. 13224, Lat/Lon 41°37.935’N by 071° 20.547’W.

“The beach is sandy, with a saltmarsh behind it.

bay or Rhode Island Sound.“The best way to reach the beach is by boat. On any

day, there will be a few local islanders there and somefolks who may have come over on the ferry. There is nodevelopment behind the beach, and the nearest con-centration of houses is a couple of miles away. “The water is clean, and it’s shallow for a good dis-

tance out, so one may anchor, but anchor well since itwill be a lee shore once the prevailing southwesterlykicks up. Be mindful of unmarked Johnson Ledge andPine Hill Ledge to the west, both rocky and with 8 feetof water or less at mean low water. “There are no facilities. The beach is usually tawny,

clean sand, and mussel shells form a ridge along thestorm water high mark. The afternoon breezes andsurf make it a cooler spot on a hot summer day – avery pleasant place indeed.”

Massachusetts powerboater Kevin Saulnierwrites: “Cuttyhunk has been my family’s destinationfor a day picnic or a couple of days of solitude or aweek of fishing and swimming. Since my childhood,this has been the spot. My grandfather would pull in-to its harbor for a moment of respite from a day ofhardcore fishing. “We would sit on the boat and eat our lunch that my

grandmother prepared for us. I still can’t have peanut-butter crackers and not think of Cuttyhunk Harbor.Back then the main dock was just a few beat upshacks with fisherman moving swiftly around theirboats. The recreational boats were few and far be-tween. “Later on, when I had a family and a boat of my own,

this was the first stop we made on our maiden voyage.To see the harbor after all these years brought a smileto my face. My children were so young that Cuttymade sense – only a 15-minute cruising time. At firstwe just dinghied to the beach and sat watching mygirls play in the water. As they grew, we would returnto the island, but now exploring the island was on myfamily’s agenda. So the new tradition was to go toCutty and hike around the island. “Now with the shortage of time, my boat reverts

back to a fishing boat, but when the stars align andthe weather holds, my family jumps on our boat, andwhen I ask where they want to go it is unanimous –Cuttyhunk. The harbor is now crowded compared tomy peanut-butter-cracker days, but the fishing shacksnow have ice cream, and they bring you seafood out toyour boat. “The beauty in having a special spot is watching it

change and grow, as we do, and with this change beingable to find what was magical to bring you there in thefirst place and to find something new to keep you com-ing back.

“The best picnic spot when you keep your boat inthe Piscataqua River on the New Hampshire coastis the Isles of Shoals, about six miles from the rivermouth,” says Portsmouth, N.H., resident JoeCunningham. “During the week you have plenty ofroom, and the traffic is very light when comparedwith weekends. Gosport Harbor is a beautiful spotthat offers views of the Isles of Shoals as well as thecoastline of Maine and New Hampshire,” he says.“When my wife Kirsten and I were dating, we wouldgo out during the week with some lobsters fromRicker’s Lobster in Newcastle all cooked up, a bag ofsteamers, and some dessert Ring Dings. We wouldstart out by cooking up the clams in the cockpit of thePearson 30 Helen Irene over a small butane stove. Inthis way, we kept the boat from smelling like an oldlobster trap. “We thought it was very decadent to grab a steam-

er, pluck it from it’s shell, dunk it in butter, and tossthe shell overboard. One after the other, the pile ofsteamers would disappear. Next, time to attack thelobster. No tools required, crack open the soft-shelllobster, dunk, and repeat overboard with the shells. Agreat way to spend the day! The galley stayed clean,and we only had a couple bowls and a pot to wash atthe end of the day. The food, a book, and a swim al-ways made for a great day.”I, Carol Standish, the Dispatches assembler, and

my husband and intermittent family members, havepoked around most of the southwest coast of Mainein our 18-foot lobster skiff, but always end up in CapePorpoise Harbor and environs. Our favorite picnicspot is an outcropping of rounded granite boulders onthe west side of Trott Island. Beside the rocks is a lit-tle grassy shore that we can pull the boat onto andportage our food across to the many indentations inthe boulders that accommodate our derrières. Occasionally, we build a little cook fire in one of the

shallow crevices for burgers and dogs (or the occa-sional breakfast picnic of bacon and eggs), but moreoften our picnic basket is full of lots of snacky stufflike pickles and chips and sandwiches and a beer ortwo. When we feel particularly flush or celebratory,we’ll make lobster rolls. There’s no better place to eatthem than on a big old rock by the water. We have long ignored the old adage of waiting an

hour after eating before swimming. Since “our” rocksalso include a wide and flat hunk of granite thatserves nicely as a swim platform, we often slide intothe water like sated seals, climb out, warm up and doit again.And so goes the afternoon, except for one thing –

the tide. We’ve only had to walk across the flats to themainland once in all the years we’ve picnicked on theharbor islands. Not a bad record. It was an adventure,but not one to be enthusiastically repeated.

Cruising with kids this summer? Keep’em alert,keep’em learning, I say. Ban electronic toys aboard!Being an old-fashioned girl, I still believe in books,specifically the ones that help youngsters (and you)learn about the world y’all are cruising through. Sofire them up to read, watch and wonder. They’ll ap-preciate the great marine outdoors even more.One of the best recent books for four to eight year

olds is Down, Down, Down bySteve Jenkins (Houghton MifflinBooks for Children, 40 pp., $17). Itexplores the ocean depths wheresunlight never penetrates. It exam-ines the bizarre specialties thecreatures who live there have de-veloped to survive.

Atthe back of the book are diagrams of relative sizes ofthe creatures and more specific details.

This bird, the red knot, migrates fromTierra del Fuego near the tip ofSouth America to the NorthwestTerritories, Canada, and back everyyear. Think of a 10-inch bird flying

Scientific American Young Readers Book award andis well worth the inconvenience of having to hunt itdown. Koch is both writer and illustrator.

She explores life forms from the pri-mordial soup to the current living oc-cupants of the various watery habi-tats. She introduces her book with aquote from Jean Dorst: “Life bearsthe memory of its aquatic origins.Every living creature, animal orplant…even man…is above all aform of water.” And the book flows from there. Although suggested for 9- to 12-year-olds, it will be

enjoyed by all ages for its handsome illustrations andwealth of information.For just plain fun, bring along David A. Crossman’s

latest Ab and Bean adventure, The Legend ofBurial Island (Down East Books, 208 pp., $15.95).Also rated for 9- to 12-year-olds, it also will appeal toeverybody. “Burial Island” is the third in a series ofmysteries in which appealing early-teen protagonistssolve multiple complex mysteries while casually risk-ing life and limb. Set on an island off the Maine coast, the boys are lo-

cal; the girls (including a Middle Eastern princessthis time) are summer folks. After spending a schoolyear apart, the fast friends have an awkward renew-al of their friendship, complicated by unaccustomed

hormonal influences, but they soon resume wherethey left off the previous summer and do some dan-gerous messing with drug dealers, historical societymembers, government officials, theCoast Guard, and a peculiar charac-ter who has apparently invented aninvisible ultralight. The adult is-landers, of course, remain their stal-wart, tolerant and unflappable selvesamidst the many dust-ups.For the adults on board, I recom-

mend another New England author. Awhile back, Gerry Boyle wrote a pop-ular series of whodunnits set in a lit-tle town up-country. Jack McMorrow was the sleuthand he was a very likeable guy with foibles, eccentricneighbors and lots of crime to solve. If you haven’tread them, and like the genre, do. In his latest effort, Port City Shakedown, set in

Portland, Maine (Down East Books,240 pp., $24.95), Boyle has created anew hero who is young and urban, atleast by Portland standards. He liveson an old wooden Chris-Craft inPortland Harbor. There’s lots ofsleuthing, some violence and mysteri-ous boats sailing in and out of the pic-ture. It will occupy your rainy day onthe hook quite nicely.

The Press at Toad Hall has it all – for kids and parentsReviewed by Bob Booth

For Points EastHow can one read a phrase such as The Press at

Toad Hall without falling under the enchantment ofMole and Rat, Badger and Toad? Toad Hall! The meremention, to my mind, invokes memories of messingabout in boats, becoming lost in the woods, a first lovewith automobiles, and of siege and bat-tle. Now, dear reader, extend the phrase

to encompass books, some 21,000 titles,whose interests range to all facets andfeasible connotations of all those topics:fiction, nonfiction, science fiction, biog-raphy, history, music, philosophy, myth,legend and folklore, hobbies and games, poetry, natu-ral history and the garden – and, listen up, boat-building and design, sailboats, small craft, nauticallore – the list goes on and on. Researching small boat construction, sailmaking,

and period authenticity from the 19th century? Howwould a mint edition of, say, Robert Leslie’s 1892 vol-ume “The Sea Boat, How To Build, Rig And Sail Her”grab you? For $21.95? Looking for a proven dinghydesign or a special boat to build with the kids – or forthat matter one the kids can build themselves? Let

me introduce you to D. N. Goodchild and his Press atToad Hall republishing business (http://dngood-child.com).According to David Goodchild, Toad Hall is “a small

reprint publishing house specializing in classic booksand publications” currently offering 21,000 items di-vided into libraries: The Shellbacks Library (classic

nautical books and boat-building plans)and 32 other Libraries of TimelessReading. “The text content of our publi-cations is not photo-facsimiled; all ofour products are newly typeset for ex-cellent readability. All of our illustra-tions are digitally enhanced for clarityand printing brightness. The books in

both our Libraries have a highly useful red-ribbonbookmark bound in. Once you have read a book witha bookmark, you won’t want to do without one again.” My own library teems with Toad Hall publications,

which are mostly data sheets on topics such as canvasdecks, brazing or boat carpentry, but it also includesseveral period volumes such as the previously men-tioned Leslie test. To all who love good books, the wis-dom of ages past, adventure, or just plain messingabout, I highly recommend you visit David Goodchildat Toad Hall.

Philip Cunningham Bolger West Gloucester, Mass., 81Visionary boat designer

Phil Bolger died suddenlyat his home on May 31.Always thinking outsidethe box, Bolger designed be-tween 600 and 700 boats,including the world’s small-est dinghy, the “foldingschooner,” and the HMSRose, a replica of an 18thcentury Royal Navy frigatethat served as a sail-train-ing vessel operating out of several East Coast portsfor over 30 years. The Rose was featured in the 2003blockbuster film “Master and Commander: The FarSide of the World,” with actor Russell Crowe. Bolger also was a prolific writer with a monthly col-

umn in “Messing About in Boats,” the Wenham,Mass.-based small-boat magazine. He published nu-merous books on boats and a science-fiction novelabout apartheid in South Africa, written and pub-lished before the racial separation system ended,along with countless magazine articles. He is sur-vived by his wife and business partner SusanneAltenburger.In a “Boston Globe” obituary, he is quoted as choos-

ing the Gloucester Gull as his best design. “When Icome up for judgment, and they stop me at the gateand ask, ‘What’s your excuse?’,” Bolger said. “I’ll tellthem I designed the Gloucester Light Dory, andthey’ll have to let me in.”

and he asks me to pick something. I see this thingthat Rob says is a lobster; it’s got two large claws,squeakers in each, and a bunch of little legs along itsside for me to nibble on, then another large squeakerin the tail. Mom says it’s an early Christmas present

for me, so they put it in a bag and off we go. We walkaround town some more, then head back to the boatfor a swim. We took an afternoon Whaler ride around the har-

bor, checking out the many commercial fishing boatsthat work regularly. Chatham has a long history offishing in Nantucket Sound and in the AtlanticOcean. The Coast Guard maintains boats in both har-bors to be able to respond to emergencies in the twodifferent areas. We watch a class of small sailboatsbeing taught how to race off the Stage Harbor Yacht

Club. That evening, Rob and I take the Whaler up the

Mitchell River again to catch part of a baseball game.I can’t get into Fenway Park or Yankee Stadium, butI’m a hit at the home field of the Chatham As, a teamthat is part of the Cape Cod Baseball League. Robsays this league provides college baseball players

with a family to stay with, a part-timejob, and some good baseball practiceover the summer. A number of currentmajor league players have spent sum-mers in the Cape Cod Baseball Leagueincluding Jacoby Ellsbury, MikeLowell and Jason Varitek – to name afew of my favorite Boston Red Soxplayers. We watch the game between The

Chatham As and the HarwichMariners, and it’s a real family affair. Irub noses with a border collie andsome sort of Schnauzer, but I steerclear of that big German Shepherd. Wehead back to the boat before the gameis over, as tomorrow we head out. Nextdestination: Hadley Harbor for a nightor two.I really like Chatham. There are lots

of sidewalks on tree-lined streets thatwe can walk on for hours and hours.There are several ice-cream shops, anda couple of stores with some great dogtoys and treats. Sailing is great in

these parts, and the water sports are equally grand.People can even take their boats, or ride a smalllaunch, to view the seals on the beaches south ofChatham Harbor. The Harbor Master’s Office is veryhelpful in planning trips to town, regardless of whichharbor you plan on staying at.Shadow lives in Haddam, Conn., with his best

friend (and co-author) Robert A. Norton, Jr., when he’snot hanging around the firehouse with all of his otherbuddies.

Morning meditations

FETCHING ALONG/David Buckman

A pale ivory gleam slanted through the pregnantstillness of Burnt Coat Harbor, sowing luminouspearls that capered about the Swans Island anchor-age, flashed across the cabin walls, and roused mefrom my dreams. Taking the day’s measure, I wasstruck by the drama of it – pointed spruce and ruggedgranite battlements doubled on the burnished sea,gulls gossiping on the wing and a blue heron stalkingprayerfully in the muddy shallows.Clumsily addressing the spectacle, I sat in silence

for some time before waking the mate. Filling theteapot with water and setting the stove alight, Iopened the hatch and breathed deeply of air as sweetas maple syrup. On deck, a wreath of dew glistened inthe low light, nature’s sublime baptism. Shaking offthe lethargy of the hour, while bacon and eggs sizzledaway, the one thing the mate and I came to be certainof was that there would be no hurrying the morningalong. Several cups of coffee and conversations later,I raised sail while Leigh attended to the anchor.Edging the sloop toward the tidy knot of a village at

the tide’s bidding, errant zephyrs tooled the waterand set the flag at the fisherman’s cooperative to flut-tering. The knotmeter flickered 1.2 and then 1.8knots. We could have walked faster, but there was anelegance to the Leight’s quiet ways, but for an occa-sional chuckle from the dinghy. Tacking over, we

ghosted through a gathering of cruisers off the oldboat shop, exchanged greetings with crews fromNewport and Halifax, and hailed Tom Kellogg in hisvenerable old Seabird yawl, Gull.Skirting Hockamock Lighthouse, its eastern facade a

dazzling morning white, the wind abandoned ourcause and we lay becalmed next to a weed-bedeckedgreen gong buoy. Shifting slowly along as the musingbreeze allowed, we chased feeble scurries and kept ourown counsel, the sun warm on our backs and swirls ofcurrent helping us inch westward. A seal surfaced toport, a flight of terns twitted busily as they dartedabout in search of herring, and the hazy heights of IsleAu Haut commanded the horizon to port. There were amultitude of subtleties we are often too busy to notice. Arranging the cockpit cushions like chaise lounges,

we reclined, pulled our caps low and eased contented-ly across silky seas. Off Halibut Rock we trained thebinoculars on a schooner working east, its cloud of sailinvesting the scene with a palpable sense of history.It was just shy of noon when we slipped into a

teacup of a one-boat bight on the north shore of WreckIsland. Our labors yielded only nine miles, but fewmornings have been better spent.David Buckman sails out of Round Pond, Maine

and often prefers to make slow going of it rather thanuse the engine.

LAST WORD/Boon the Lobs ter Dog

Good-bye old Gotta Keep Bailing

Winter was a toughtime for lobstermenand lobster dogs

here in Maine. Most of thepots had been hauled andmost of the boats were on “thehard.” That was pretty muchtrue for me and my friendAdam. My name is Boon and I live

in Kittery Point. I work on thelobsterboat GKB (Gotta KeepBailing) with my best friendAdam. Oh, and I’m a BerneseMountain Dog. I’ve got a ter-rific life. When I’m not nap-ping, or at the beach, I’m outin front of Gerrish Islandwith Adam on the GKB, help-ing to haul gear (bring thelobster pots onto the boat)and loving every minute of it.Just after Thanksgiving,

most of the other lobsterboatsin Kittery Point come out ofthe water for the winter.They call it “going on thehard.” I guess that’s becausewater is soft and land isn’t.The GKB does not go “on the hard.” She’s just over100 years old and made out of wood. Wooden boatsdon’t do well on “the hard.” “Seams open, wood dries

out, and all sorts of badthings happen,” is the wayAdam explains it.Most of last year, Adam

spent a lot of time with a nicefellow named Nate Piper.He’s what they call a ship-wright. I’m not sure whatthat is, but then I don’t knowwhat a shipleft is either. Ilearned all sorts of new wordsfrom Nate. Did you know thatwooden boats have thingslike a garboard and a gud-geon? The garboard is theplank next to the keel, and agudgeon is the thing on whichthe rudder on the GKBswivels. I don’t know aboutyou, but there are way toomany names of boat parts forme. Nate knows all of them.He’s pretty smart for some-one who isn’t a dog. Howmany boat parts can youname?Well, last summer Nate

used to come out a lot with uswhen we were hauling gear.

He and Adam would start talking “boat talk.” Stufflike hard chine or soft chine, whatever they are. If wewere “commuting” to our gear, they would be talking

Hey, who’s this Shadow guy up in the feature sec-tion? I used to be in the feature section. Anyhoo, an-other day, another lobsterboat.

away. I’d just go forward and curl up in the anchorlines and take a nap. Ah, the dog’s life!So there I was, up forward enjoying it all, and there

they were in the wheelhouse talking boats. Glass ver-sus wood, versus steel, versus concrete. Who wouldever make a boat out of concrete? Have you ever seena rock float? Silly.Anyhoo-hoo-woo-woo . . . oh, sorry, got carried away.

. . Adam and Nate would get off on all sorts of tan-gents. “Boy talk” is what Adam’s wife Kathy calls it.Is bigger better? How wide should it be? What’s thebest kind of power? The more they talked, the moremy head would swim. The only peace I got was whenwe were hauling back, pulling the “bugs” (lobsters toa flatlander) from the gear, rebaiting, and then haul-ing the pot onto the shoot – my job. Bernese MountainDogs pull wagons in Switzerland. However, in Maine,we pull lobsterpots. At least I do, and that’s the way Ilike it.One day Nate came over with a bunch of paper all

rolled up. “Whatcha got there?” Adam asked Nate.With a big grin he replied, “The new boat”. Wow, Ithought, Nate’s going to get a new boat – how great isthat? I hope it will have a place for me to take a nap.Well, Adam and Nate got into their “boy talk” again.

All sorts of new words – sheer, freeboard, power, holdsize, seawater tanks. Very boring for a lobster dog likeme, so up forward I went and off to dreamland. Thenext thing I knew, it was time to haul back, so, I ranaft to take up my position. But Adam and Nate keptup the “boy talk.” After we set out the last trawl, wewere headed back to Pepperell Cove with a boatloadof bugs. Which is good because we have hungrymouths to feed. It will be a good night tonight, Ithought.After all the work was done Adam, Nate and I head-

ed into the wheelhouse. They had some coffee and

sandwiches. I got a nice bowl of water and, my fa-vorite, macaroni and cheese. Kathy makes the best onthe whole planet. Believe me, I know my mac andcheese. When I was finished, I had planned to headforward for my “headed-to-port nap.” Adam and Natewere still talking, and finally Adam said, “It just looksperfect.” “Yeah”, Nate said, “I thought you’d like it. Whatcha

gonna do?” Adam looked out on the water, then down at the

boat, and then at the drawing that Nate had, andsaid, “I think I’m gonna do it.”My head snapped around in an instant, “Gonna do

what? I was gonna take a nap and now I’m not gonnatake a nap!” I looked right at Adam with my bestwhat-are-you-gonna-do look. Adam saw me and cameover to give me a hug. “Listen fella,” he began, “we’regoing to replace the GKB.” “What? How can you replace the best boat in the

world?” I thought. This was not turning out to be agood day. Adam went on to explain: “Listen Boon, the GKB is

very old – over 100 – and it’s getting time to let herretire. So Nate and I have been talking about build-ing a new boat. Nate has come up with some inter-esting ideas, and Uncle Dave has designed a newpower plant for her.” All of this was just about toomuch for a lobster dog to handle. But Adam, UncleDave and Nate had it all figured out – I should haveknown everything would be OK.Adam would be taking the GKB Downeast to where

she was built over 100 years ago. She would be the fo-cal point of a new “fishing museum.” She was origi-nally built as a herring carrier and worked that wayfor her first 75 years. The museum is going to put herback into her original form – sails and all. Wow, that’s

pretty neat. So one day soon we’ll all shove offDowneast for our last trip on the GKB. And after that,Adam and Nate plan to spend the rest of the winterbuilding the new boat. In fact, Nate had already laidthe keel in his shop. I guess he figured that Adamwould go with the new boat all along. So we won’t begoofing off too much this winter.I’m going to miss the GKB, but with her in a great

fishing museum, we can probably stop by for a visitfrom time to time. Adam is excited about the new boatand the new power plant (which I think is differentthan a tomato plant) designed by Uncle Dave. TheGKB has a GMC diesel. Adam calls it Jimmy (funnyname for an engine). I guess we’ll call Uncle Dave’snew engine “Davy” because its real name is way toohard for anyone, including a dog, to remember. It’s a compound steam engine with recumbent fuel

recycling handling both power and electronicsthrough generator and storage batteries. Say thatthree times quickly! The way Adam explains it, Davytakes seawater and compresses it. Once the actionstarts, it just keeps going, and it runs everything on

the boat. It uses hardly any fuel to get it going – lessthan a quart. He says that we’ll swing a larger wheel(propeller), and that will make the boat move withless effort and energy. Davy also won’t make anynoise, which I think is pretty neat. No noise makes formuch better naps. It all sounds finestkind to me, butwhat do I know. I’m a dog.So, with the design done and the Davy done, all we

have to do is build her and name her. Naming a lob-ster boat is a very important thing. By the time youread this, we’ll be close to launching her, and she’llhave to have a name. I could use your help. Send any suggestions for the name of our new boat

to the editor here at Points East ([email protected]). Nim Marsh will forward them tome, and I’ll pass them by Adam, and who knows? Youjust may name the most modern, fuel-efficient lob-sterboat in the world. Adam and I are now off toNate’s Shop to review the progress on the Boat. I can’twait to get out fishing again ’cause lobster dogs needto keep busy.While Boon is on the hard, he can be reached by

email at [email protected].

One day Nate came over with a bunch of paper all rolled up. “Whatcha gotthere?” Adam asked Nate. With a big grin he replied, “The new boat”. Wow, Ithought, Nate’s going to get a new boat – how great is that? I hope it will have aplace for me to take a nap.BOON, continued from Page 79
