A Head Clearing Affair
24 Jun 2009 | 3:03 pmIt was just after 10:30 last night when I walked outside our rental house on Block Island (R.I.), and instantly noticed the atmosphere was different. The stiff northeast wind that had been lashing the island for the past two days had vanished. I could hear the crashing surf a half-mile away, and the night seemed so still I couldn’t resist ditching my sleeping plans and instead hopping into the saddle of my trusty old mountain bike. It was time for a lap around the block. Sure, it was pitch-black darkness, but I needed the exercise to clear my head, and besides, I ride harder when I can’t… -

When we’d peeled out from Block Island’s Payne’s Dock earlier in the day for the opening day of Block Island Race Wee, we thought we’d be slinging mudslides and rehashing our lap around the island. No dice. Instead, the power tools were plugged in and tactician Charlie Enright and mainsail trimmer John Dennis were carving away shards of glass and core from a two-foot gash in Mustang’s port quarter.

Bermuda 1-2: The Return...
18 Jun 2009 | 11:44 am...according to Mini sailor Clay Burkhaulter, is delayed. Here's his report from Bermuda: Bermuda 1-2 Leg Two Start Delayed The Bermuda 1-2 second leg start has been delayed do to a strong low pressure system that is moving off the coast on Sunday. The storm system has a pressure of 996 milibars and could produce storm force winds (50+ knots) in the area of the gulfstream and north to the coast, basically on the rhumb line for Newport. Winds are predicated to be from the North, so for the slower boats in the stream, conditions could be treacherous, and for the boats further up the course,…

Eliminate Leaks on Boats
4 Jul 2009 | 7:04 amWith all the rain we have been having lately, it is only fitting to give a little helpful advice to those on older boats with a persistent leak. Boaters, especially those on an older boat, know that you can spend hours (days) trying to track down a little leak that will make your life miserable. Just when you think you found the leak, and fixed it, you are faced with a “new” leak. Well, it isn’t new, it has just traveled. Captain Fixit says you may want to try Capt. Tolley’s Creaping Crack Cure (finds and fixes leaks). Please let us know if it works for… -

In what is becoming one of histories' greatest athletic and psychological feats, artist and sailor Reid Stowe passed day 800 of a planned 1000 days nonstop on his self-built 70 foot 50-ton Schooner Anne on July 1, 2009. In a world consumed by issues of ecology, energy and economy, Stowe's endurance challenge is a studied example of self-sufficiency. The Schooner Anne left Hoboken, New Jersey, on… -
Day 799 Sacred Sideslip
30 Jun 2009 | 6:33 amDay 799 - June 30, 2009Wind SE 5 to 25 knots, Course NW, Speed 1 to 3 knots, Position 6*50n by 16*51wSacred SideslipThere is a sailing maneuver that sailboats have always had the occasion to use called heaving-to. A sail in the middle of the boat is pulled tight fore and aft and the wheel is turned into the wind causing the boat to face into the wind and stall. This is a good maneuver in heavy weather, but also any time a sailor wants to pause for any reason. We have heaved-to regularly on this voyage under many different circumstances.Now I am practicing a tactic I call the Sacred Sideslip. -
Day 797 A Sailor's Prayer

Some people might not feel included, but I think it is for most of us. We can all keep in mind there is a grander vision, then we are lead to more truths as we are ready.Life flows through me as I sail. It is your life that brought you here. What is really important is your life, not my story, but you would not be here right now if this story was not important to you. For me, speaking… -
Day 795 Voice of Many Waters
27 Jun 2009 | 12:39 pmDay 795 - June 26, 2009Wind 10 to 20 knots, Course NW, Speed 1 knot, Position 6*16n by 16*11wVoice of Many WatersOnce the rain started and it was not too windy, I decided it was time to do a big laundry. I recently reinforced one of the corners of the rain catchment tarp that tore out in the last windy squall. I set it up to start catching rain. I threw a big pile of dirty laundry on deck and marveled at how big the rain drops were and how I had no idea which way we were facing.Without warning, the wind started howling and threw the water out of the tarp. I quickly smothered the awning,…

Princess Yachts To Create 200 New Jobs
23 Jun 2009 | 1:52 amAN EXTRA 200 jobs could be created by Princess Yachts’ move to build £12million superyachts at Devonport naval base’s South Yard. The Plymouth-based luxury boat firm said the jobs would be on top of the numbers already employed making boats at its other sites. And it means some of the 300 workers axed just last month could be brought back. Managing director Chris Gates said the firm’s £15million to £20million investment in establishing a new factory on redundant Ministry of Defence land had already protected existing jobs. It was a key factor in the firm making 150… -

A wider pool of sailors
26 Jun 2009 | 6:08 am(MVMAGAZINE) On a breezy July day, a fleet of a hundred sailboats of many shapes and sizes gathers in Vineyard Haven, united by a love of sailing and racing. The harbor bustles with its usual mid-summer activity, and the diverse fleet dodges the Island Home and other vessels on their way to and fro. Out on the course, the skies are hazy as boats round a bell buoy serving as a mark, some with barking of orders and frantic cranking of winches, while others have sailors with glasses of wine in hand. In late afternoon, the competitors gather at the event headquarter’s tent in Owen Park,… -
A shortsighted standoff over Tall Ships

Pacific v. Atlantic
26 Jun 2009 | 7:56 pmI am now 624nm from Hawaii, which is roughly 1200km… Or, in more practical terms, possibly six days of sailing… Mostly things are going well, however I am somewhat disappointed in my progress, and a little annoyed at the tradewinds. There is of course no point in being annoyed, however when one has expectations, I guess it becomes disappointing when things don’t go as hoped. Which of course, is why ridding oneself of expectation and assumption is always a step in the right direction! Easier said than done. I’ve spent many days playing with rig combinations to maintain… -
Finally, the Pacific Tradewinds
22 Jun 2009 | 4:42 pmIt’s been a long time coming… I haven’t had much motivation since my last post. The weather tended light for several days, and then turned right on my nose - So I sailed close hauled for several days, and dealt with the corresponding change in swell direction and wind, as it swung back around to the north west. Rainy miserable weather prevailed, and Constellation and I beat upwind, and then beam-reached through a cross swell… And eventually made it out the other end into the tradewinds. I think I spent two full days lying in my bunk with my face in the pillow, whining… -
First voyage in the Pacific
13 Jun 2009 | 12:24 amAfter many months of preparation, trucking Constellation across America, re-assembling her in California, and finally setting sail, it’s nice to finally announce that I’m 223nm (approx 440km) offshore, en route to Hawaii. No great speed records will be set on this voyage, having left on the 8th of June, it is now the 11th, and progress is meagre, to say the least (I expect at this rate, no better than 30days). The winds are light, and the Pacific is calm… Constellation is overloaded with gear, provisions, and water, and so light air sailing is definitely not her forte. -
Half Moon Bay, Thanks North America!
5 Jun 2009 | 11:08 amI spent a fruitful and productive week in Sausalito, at Schoonmaker Point Marina, thanks to Rob & Adam. I spoilt myself to Mussels Bleu at the nearby French restuarant, thinking it might be my last nice meal for a very, very long time… However, I’m still on the west coast, so maybe it was a premature indulgence. I sat at the bar and recalled stories to the French maitre d’ of my most glorious time in Brittany, France. Still one of my most favourite destinations so far - Nights spent calculating the best time to navigate 8kt races or 10m tides, and gazing at the infamous… -

I’ll be showing photos, videos and, obviously talking… Details here. I’ve sailed over to Sausalito now, and am staying in a slip donated by Adam & Rob for the week. The tentative plan is to head down to Half Moon bay this weekend, and then depart for Hawaii from there. Constellation’s rail was under the water for most of the sail over, and some new problems have arisen. The usual: Water ingress from a few…
