Who's that little chatterbox,
The one with curly golden locks?
Who could it be?
It's Little Orphan Annie!

I just picked up a few bottles of Fentiman's Ginger Beer at Fairway, Broadway at 74th Street. I'm puzzled as to why it hasn't been mentioned; it looks fairly serious. I plan to introduce it to a bottle of Gosling's this Sunday evening at anchor in Oyster Bay. Messers Kaplan (CD27 Sine Qua Non) and H...

Excellent, Bill.

They taught us well at John Jay High School, didn't they?

Peg Montgomery!
She hated my Joyce paper,
But I love her still.

I got a marine sound system for Christmas and am now trying to decide how to install the receiver (already have the setup for cockpit and cabin speakers.) I do not want to hang it from the overhead. Being creatively challenged, I am sure there are many of you that are far more clever and creative a...

Warren,

When I replaced mine on my Sabre, I did it alone but had to climb into the cockpit locker.

Just take your Advil like a man and get on in there, dammit.

But do tie that lid open.

Attention, Randy Bates!

How's your TeakGuard holding up? Happy with it?

Thanks,
Carter

That is an excellent post, Andy, and very moving in its quiet way. Thank you.

I tuned in to the first race the other morning with my coffee cup at the ready. It remained poised in midair, doomed to cool in the morning air, as I realized that I was watching a sailboat sailing downwind, close-hauled. How amazing is that? Perhaps solid wing technology will some day be the norm i...

Henry,

That's why I use scar pins on Delphine:

I am so done with cotter pins.

... I'm running both Opencpn and SeeMyDenc on Ubuntu 9.10 Linux. Here are a couple of screenshots ... You must have a very fast boat. I note that your post is dated 2042 Wed 03 Feb 10, but your screenshot on Ubuntu shows 0234 Thu 04 Feb 10. Your boat is either located in Poland, or undergoing a Lor...

For those who don't want to run XP, there appears to be several open source (i.e. hobbyist-generated freeware) software packages out there for reading .bsb format chart files. One is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencpn/files/ I haven't tried installing this or any of the other open source...

I forgot that I had " A Cruising Guide to Narragansett Bay and the South Coast of MA" by Lynda and Patrick CHildress and Tunk Martin. Published in 1996 it covers in considerable detail the area from Point Judith/Block Island, RI to Chatham/Nantucket, MA. In print and available from Amazon...

Many useful and well-informed posts here. Just a couple of other thoughts to add to what others have said. It's definitely worth entering Gardiners Bay through Plum Gut or directly from the East, south of the Race, to explore the Shelter Island anchorages. Coecles Harbor happens to be the handiest f...

Hey Dick, I've done this a few times, and Dalton hit all the nails on the head. I would like to mention especially that Point Judith Harbor of Refuge is evil. Between the desolate aspect of the basin, the current in the channel (five knots at peak ebb or flood), the power boats and the Block Island ...
