Busy, busy day.
Spent the morning training some new members. We headed out into Boston Harbor, showed them some of the typical areas to avoid (lower middle, 5A can, rams head flats), went over to Spectable Island Marina...and then headed back to to the marina to practice docking and maneuvering in tight quarters. This new member did a great job...and is really a fast learner. We will be taking them out again (3rd time) for some additional training. Practice, practice, practice.
Shifting gears a bit.........Around noon, I interviewed a candidate for our Sunday dockmaster position and I am happy to announce that Mike Primpas of Milton, a junior at Mass. Maritime Academy is the latest addition to the Navigator Club team. Mike is another lifelong boater and will be a valuable source of knowledge. Say hi to him when you're down on the docks on Sundays.
And to close out the day, I headed up to North Shore to skipper a 60' private yacht on a whale watch cruise. Lots of birds, whales, bait and TUNA on Stellwagen. What a pleasure it was being out there today. Thank the gods that the forty days and nights of rain seem to be behind us.
Well, it's now 9:00 pm and time to sign off and get some chow.

Preseason update
Well folks, after a long, long winter....I am happy to report that the boating season is here and our members are out and enjoying the club's boats on a daily basis.
We opened officially for the season the first week of May and shortly thereafter, members started heading out into Boston Harbor and the surrounding waters. Those members who went out early were treated to spectacular views of the sailboats competing in the Volvo Ocean Race. The sailing teams raced here from Rio De Janiero, stayed in Boston for about 2-3 weeks and then raced the final leg across the Atlantic to Galway. Team Puma (the local syndicate) by far had the coolest looking boats. I can't tell you how many support vessels I saw with a red puma stripe on them....great marketing technique.
On Sunday, June 7th....Constitution Marina had their annual kickoff party and judging by the crowd it was a huge success. Numerous Navigator Club members were in attendance and everyone was able to enjoy some good food and drink, while making a few new friends.
Shifting gears a little bit, I am happy to announce a new addition to The Navigator Club team. Chris Haight, a sophomore at Boston College and a native of Beverly Farms will be our Saturday dockmaster. Chris is a lifelong boater and is excited to be a part of the team and help members during the check in and check out process.
Before I sign off, I wanted to mention one other upcoming event. On Wednesday, July 22nd from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm...The Navigator Club and Hartwick College (my alma mater) will be hosting a party on the deck at the marina. All Navigator Club members are encouraged to attend.

Fatal boating accident report
Below is an article from a Tampa newspaper outlining the Coast Guard's report regarding the fatal boating accident involving some NFL players. The bottom line is that an anchor should never be tied off the stern (back of the boat) and if an anchor becomes stuck and you are in danger, the anchor line should be cut immediately.

Report Reveals Causes of Boat Tragedy
TAMPA, Fla. (March 27) - An agency investigating a deadly boating accident involving two NFL players and their friends in the Gulf of Mexico has concluded it was caused when the vessel was improperly anchored and the boat capsized after one of them tried to throttle forward to pry loose the anchor.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's investigation also cited carelessness and operator inexperience as contributing factors. The combination of errors came at the time a storm front was moving in, making conditions on the water very rough.Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, free-agent NFL defensive lineman Corey Smith, and former University of South Florida players William Bleakley and Nick Schuyler departed from Clearwater Pass, Fla., early Feb. 28 to go offshore fishing for amberjack.
Schuyler, found clinging to the boat two days later, was the lone survivor. The other three men have not been found.
In an in-depth interview with the agency, Schuyler gave this account of the accident:
Early that morning, the men went more than 50 miles offshore in Cooper's 21-foot vessel. It was loaded with two large coolers filled with ice, drinks, food and beer. All of the friends were dressed in warm clothes, sweat suits and jackets.
Around 5:30 p.m., they went to pull up the anchor and head back to port, but the anchor was stuck. Bleakley suggested they tie it to the transom and use the boat's motor to pull it loose.
When Cooper tried to thrust the boat forward, the vessel became submerged and capsized, tossing the men overboard. All four tried uprighting the boat by standing on one side of the overturned vessel. When that didn't work, Bleakley swam underneath and was able to retrieve three life vests, a large cooler and a portable, cushion-type flotation device. Bleakley, who Schuyler has credited with saving his life, used the makeshift flotation device, which has been described previously as a cushion. The other three wore the vests.
The men appear to have tried everything in their power to rescue themselves: Schuyler told the agency they tried retrieving and using flares, but they were wet, agency Investigator Jim Manson said. They got their cell phones, which were in plastic baggies, but there was no signal.
They knew how many hours were passing because Schuyler had a watch with a light on and was able to keep track of the time. He said that around 5:30 a.m. the next day, Cooper became unresponsive. Schuyler and Bleakley tried to revive him without success. Cooper's flotation device was removed and Bleakley put it on. The Oakland Raiders linebacker then became separated from the boat.
About an hour later, Smith started to show "possible extreme symptoms of hypothermia." He removed his flotation device and also became separated from the boat.The two college teammates were the only ones left. They hung on together for about 24 hours, until Bleakley grew weak and removed his life vest as well. Schuyler said that his friend appeared to die as he was holding onto him. He let his friend go and Bleakley drifted away.
Manson said moving the anchor line to the stern, or back of the boat, contributed to the vessel's instability and flooding when they tried to free it. He described it as a mistake that probably happens every day, but one that a more experienced boater would be aware of and could handle.
Manson recommended cutting the line if boaters are not able to easily free their anchor. The agency advises boaters to take a boating safety course and leave a detailed float plan with friends or family.
Cooper, the boat's owner, had more than 100 hours of boating experience but no formal education, and had been drinking, according to the report.
"Overall, it's just a mistake in anchoring," Manson said.
The Coast Guard released its records on the accident last week. According to the agency, Schuyler told them the boat capsized after their anchor got caught in a reef. The accuracy of that account was somewhat unclear because Schuyler was suffering from hypothermia and spoke to them shortly after he was pulled from the boat. His doctor said he probably could have only lived another five to 10 hours.
The Coast Guard called off its search after three days of scouring 24,000 miles of ocean.

Boat Show Setup Completed
Just thought I would post a quick update. We finished setting up our booth at the boat show this evening and it looks great. The new backdrop with a picture of Minots Light in the background and a Grady White in the foreground looks incredible. Would like to publicly thank the guys at White Light Digital Media in Beverly, MA for making it happen.
I will take some pictures tomorrow and will post them.
Hope to see you all at the show.

Floating your way to Freedom
Floating your way to Freedom
Cruising the coastal waters aboard a boat is a great way to spend time with family and friends, relieve some stress, explore new ports of call and if you are so inclined, do a little fishing. The eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine and points in between offer many exciting and interesting places to go boating. Some are well known and others, are closely guarded secrets that are waiting to be explored.
For many years, if you wanted to go boating you either had to buy a boat, charter a boat or if you were lucky, befriend someone who owned a boat. Chartering or befriending a boat owner are fantastic ways to get out on the water and get introduced to boating. It is great for those of you who only want to go out on occasion and/or prefer to sit back and let someone else handle the responsibility of operating the vessel. Charter captains know their local waters intimately and are not only good at finding fish, but most also make excellent on-the-water tour guides too. There are many talented charter captains out there. To find a well respected, licensed captain in your area, contact the Northeast Charter Captains Association at http://www.northeastcharterboatcaptainsassociation.com/ or your local charter boat captains association.
However, if you’re like me and enjoy being behind the helm and desire the freedom and challenge associated with it, you basically have two options. You can go buy your own boat or you can join a local boating club which allow members to use the club’s boats.
If you have a good understanding of what is required and have ample free time, boat ownership can be a very rewarding experience. As someone who has owned numerous boats and sold countless others to buyers, I know what it feels like to desire to own a boat. Boat ownership offers freedom, adventure and a lot of fun. Whether its heading over to the local sandbar to spend an afternoon soaking up some sun with friends or planning a weekend excursion to a new port of call, having your own boat allows you to go just about wherever you want, whenever you want - weather permitting of course.
However, as with most large purchases, owning a boat also requires time, responsibility and a fair amount of disposable income to not only purchase the boat, but maintain it as well. Many first-time boat buyers often make the mistake of spending their entire budget on purchasing the boat, leaving little left over to maintain it. Unlike automobiles, boats are hand-made machines and are exposed to a wide variety of environments and forces and as such, they need to be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis or they will fall into disrepair, regardless of the brand.
Based on my personal and professional experience, the best way to determine how much a boat is going to cost you to maintain on a yearly basis in your area, is to ask an experienced boater from a local marina who owns a similar boat. Cost of ownership calculations should include dockage fees, insurance, spring commissioning, winterization, incidental repairs, storage, fuel, depreciation and future resale value. Once you have calculated annual cost of ownership and determined your total boat buying budget, you are now ready to start shopping for a boat that will fit your requirements. When determining which style of boat is for you, you need to consider your experience level, boating interests, body of water and time availability. where vessel will be used whether you primarily plan to go out for the day or for long excursions you are looking for a new boat, the National Marine Manufacturers Association maintains a list of certified, well respected boat dealers in your area. To find a dealer near you, go to http://www.discoverboating.com/ .
If you are considering purchasing a pre-owned boat, which can be an attractive option, you should consider having the boat surveyed prior to buying. The cost to survey the boat is nominal and is money well spent. To find a competent surveyor in your area, log on to http://www.marinesurvey.org/ .
Unfortunately, with ever increasing demands on time from careers and family obligations, many folks feel that they just don’t have the time or the desire to own a boat, but yet still want to get out on the water on a regular basis. Or, what about those folks who have always wanted to get into boating, don’t have any experience and are unsure where to start? For those of you who fall into this category, a membership in a boating club is ideal.
What is a boat club? Although there are variations, a typical boat club is a membership based club where members get to use club owned boats on reservation basis. In addition to buying the boats, the club normally pays for a comprehensive training program as well as slip fees, insurance, cleaning, and maintenance. In addition, luxury level clubs, also offer access to premium brand boats, as well as pools, sun decks and locker rooms and discounts on restaurants, yacht charters and boating related items like foul-weather gear, and sunglasses .
As far as usage is concerned, membership allows a member to reserve a boat(s) for a predetermined number of outings per month. In addition, clubs even offer “standby” usage options for those spur of the moment decisions when the local weatherman calls for a torrential downpour when it actually turns out to be 85 degrees and sunny.
Membership based boat clubs are not entirely new. However, they have become very popular recently, mostly due to the fact that over the last ten years consumers have less free time available and as a result, they have become more comfortable with leasing and fractional usage arrangements made popular by the automobile and aviation industries.
Is a boat club membership right for everyone? Probably, not. If you are the type of person who wants to go out all weekend, every weekend, or you’re planning a three week cruise up to Maine or maybe you just like to sit around and oil the teak while tied up at the dock, you’re better off buying your own boat . However, if you lead a busy lifestyle and find that between work and family obligations, not to mention the infamous honey-do list, you have a limited amount of free time, then a boat club membership may be just the right thing for you.
There are numerous boat clubs throughout the country. To find a club near you, do a search on the web, for “boat clubs” or log on to www.discoverboating.com/boating/boatingclubs.aspx
