I'm the guy with the big yellow flag (coming down today) in the rigging in the little marina between you and the cream-colored apartments. Back Creek is pretty sheltered. You're high enough up that you'll see a 20-25% reduction in wind speed compared to Thomas Point Light. The problem is that the bottom in Back Creek gets so much use that it is pretty fluffy. Depending on your ground tackle that may be a concern. All the moorings in Annapolis have helical anchors and are regularly inspected. Moving to a mooring ball is a very reasonable thing, either one of the five in Back Creek or above the Spa Creek bridge. Weems Creek has better holding. The Naval Academy moorings there are tempting but don't take one. First, the Academy may show up with the 44s and make you get off and second, they aren't nearly so well maintained as the City moorings. They have been known to drag. If you are really nervous and things look bad head around Thomas Point and up the South River to Harness Creek (above the docks for Quiet Waters Park) or Aberdeen Creek (don't go above the last community docks - there are lots of snags). Any of the three creeks feeding Whitehall Bay are good. The rightmost one has a tricky entrance but the other two are easy and all are well protected. Stop by the Harbormaster's office and chat them up a bit. The two people you would like to talk to are Flip Walters (Harbormaster) and David (#3 guy). They have the most experience. If you want to make a start heading South either Dividing Creek or Granary Creek up the Wye River or La Trappe Creek off the Choptank are good places to hole up. You could also head up the Rhode River to the creek above Camp Letts or the West River outside the mooring field for Hartges Yacht Harbor. My local knowledge on protected anchorages South of that is weak as we're usually looking for breeze. *grin* My suggestion is a mooring ball in Annapolis or one of the South River creeks. I should be out late this afternoon. I'll stop by and bang on the hull to say hi. -- sail fast and eat well, dave Dave Skolnick S/V Auspicious AuspiciousWorks.com 443-327-9084 ___ Liveaboard mailing list Liveaboard@liveaboardonline.com To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to liveaboard-j...@liveaboardonline.com To unsubscribe send an email to liveaboard-le...@liveaboardonline.com The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/liveaboard@liveaboardnow.org The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
Re: [Liveaboard] Liveaboard Digest, Vol 60, Issue 1
Hi Craig, See the list of nets at Dockside Radio ( http://docksideradio.com/Cruising%20Nets.htm ). The Maritime Mobile Safety Net and the others that share 14300 are there for us. Most of the traffic is idle chatter but they are definitely there for us when needed. MMSN has run phone patches for me when weather caused a change in plans. The guys on frequency have provided company and information on long trips. On the US East Coast you'll get good support from the Waterway Radio Net on 7268 LSB at 0745 ET. Most of their check-ins are ICW and Bahamas cruisers but they have beefed up their weather reporting for me when I'm offshore heading to the Caribbean. Offshore I don't generally have time for much more than those two. At anchor I tune around like any other ham when I'm in the mood for a chat. -- sail fast and eat well, dave KO4MI S/V Auspicious AuspiciousWorks.com ___ Liveaboard mailing list Liveaboard@liveaboardonline.com To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to liveaboard-j...@liveaboardonline.com To unsubscribe send an email to liveaboard-le...@liveaboardonline.com The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/liveaboard@liveaboardnow.org The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html

Re: [Liveaboard] Bilge pump controller
There is a lot to be said for a set or max "on" time.

Alternatively you could count a "pump event" every two minutes without stopping the pump - that might be better.

From Falmouth you could close-reach SSE down to the latitude of Delaware Bay and then tack in. Cape May is a lovely little town, but I'm not a fan of the canal. Can you fit under the fixed bridge? If not, consider anchoring behind the inner breakwater at Cape Henlopen. If you don't fit under the Cape May bridge the total distance covered is about the same as going into and out of the Cape May inlet. If you want to get off and stretch your legs Lewes DE is right there and is also a nice little town. Cape Henlopen is an easy set up for running up the DE Bay or heading back out toward Cape Henry. > It looks like Atlantic Highlands is the place to wait for a window to run the > Jersey coast and it looks like Atlantic City is the only safe duck-in on this > coast.

Re: [Liveaboard] Boat Tender - an alternative tow
I'm not a big fan of the Dinghy Tow for an entirely different reason. I have come up from behind a number of boats carrying a dinghy in the flipped up position. On the ICW it really is important to check behind once in a while and all those boats simply couldn't see aft from the wheel. Since the boats were droning along in mid-channel at 5 kts I (usually 7 kts on bigger, deeper draft boats on delivery) and power boats moving appreciably faster had to make closer, faster passes than anyone would have liked. The dinghy on the foredeck is enough of a visibility issue, but the blockage aft is like driving a car with no mirrors and a blacked out rear window. Incidentally, no one responded to radio calls. sail fast and eat well, dave S/V Auspicious ___ Liveaboard mailing list Liveaboard@liveaboardonline.com To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to liveaboard-j...@liveaboardonline.com To unsubscribe send an email to liveaboard-le...@liveaboardonline.com The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/liveabo...@liveaboardnow.org The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html

I think it's a wonderful idea. Most people take three or four days to get into the rhythm of a passage. The classic, first offshore passage of Newport to Bermuda or Norfolk to Bermuda takes just long enough to get past the adjustment but not long enough to enjoy the rhythm of true passagemaking. The opportunity to make the jump with experienced sailors is truly wonderful. You are indeed fortunate. > Any thoughts or reflections on such a trip: weather, timing, hazards, etc ? Hmm. Don't hit anything - one of the benefits of being offshore is being away from the hard and shallow bits. Carry a print-out from just before you leave of the Gulf Stream so you can avoid the worst of foul currents. Follow the Gulf Stream links at marineweatherbylee.com . The GS doesn't move that much and even the eddies build and dissipate slowly. You'll have plenty of time to ease your way up the Chesapeake in time for the Annapolis Boat Show.

I have a steaming cone. I've never flown it. I don't motorsail often and then not for long. I also have an anchor ball which I do fly if we're spending the day anchored. In all honesty, if we anchor in the late afternoon and leave after breakfast I usually don't bother to put it up, but if we're going to hang out for the day I put it up in the foretriangle on the staysail halyard. Interestingly enough I noticed in the Bahamas last winter that there were more powerboats/motor yachts showing anchor balls than sailboats. sail fast and eat well, dave S/V Auspicious ___ Liveaboard mailing list Liveaboard@liveaboardonline.com To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to liveaboard-j...@liveaboardonline.com To unsubscribe send an email to liveaboard-le...@liveaboardonline.com The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/liveabo...@liveaboardnow.org The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html

Surely I'm not the first to do this ;-) I've tried this a few times. For me it has generally seemed easier to just put the bow of the boat at the mooring and walk forward to grab the pendant. As conditions deteriorate I leave more space for the bow to blow off toward the ball. I'm far from nimble and still end up with an easier job of it at the bow than catching the mooring at the stern and moving it. Perhaps I'm just too set in my ways. *grin* With regard to 'Animal Farm': aside from being a classic exploration of the sociological issues associated with extremes of class structure and Soviet-style government control (and a great counterpoint to '1984') it's a darned good book (technically a novella) and very easy to read.
