Diary and Heron Lake Adventures
Friday, May 23 -- Towed Etchells "Black Magic" to Heron Lake State Park in northern New Mexico. Despite ominous clouds and predictions of rain, the weather mostly held off and Gerald and I were able to rig and launch the boat. I sailed the boat to the marina, brought down the sails, and coasted into the slip, though switchy winds that went behind us made things tricky. We delivered some lumber and a large crate of solar lights to the marina. We noticed that the lake had risen substantially. Although it hardly counts, this was the 19th day I'd been sailing so far in 2008. Saturday -- This morning we cleared out food that time had forgotten from the fridge) then went to the state park and the lake. read more »

Adventures on Paper and Water
Im going to toot my own horn again really loudly here: I passed my ASA Coastal Navigation and Advanced Coastal Cruising certification exams! So within one year Ive gone from being a complete and total newbie, not knowing the difference between a bimini and a boobie hatch , to something resembling a real mariner. The Advanced Coastal Cruising Standard states that the student should be "able to safely act as skipper and crew of a sailing vessel about 30 to 50 feet in length in coastal and inland waters, in ANY CONDITIONS " (emphasis mine). Why get certified? For someone like me who is big on book knowledge but lacking in real world experience Im hoping it will give more credibility with charter companies when it comes time to do another bareboat charter. And preparing for the exam gives you something to do when the weather is crappy or you can't spare any daylight hours outside. Plus its a real ego boost when you pass. Both exams took about five hours together. During that time I plotted my course carefully around islands shrouded in thick fog, avoiding sunken wrecks, and taking into account leeway, current set and drift. Later I sharpened my #2 pencils, all the while scanning the sky for signs of the approaching cold front. I had to deal with my engine failing in a busy channel, running aground, and getting caught far from shelter in sea conditions way beyond my skill level. The questions are all short answer type, so, as an example, a concise answer to the above scenario would go something like this: 1) Put on PFDs/safety harnesses 2) Dog the hatches 3) Reef 4) Obtain a fix 5) Stow and secure gear below 6) Locate emergency equipment (VHF, flares, bilge pump, lifeboat) 7) Assign helm to most experience helmsman 8) Maintain course parallel to or away from the lee shore 9) Maintain crew morale! read more »
