Social Committee and the Lighthouse PointYacht and Racquet Club for providing such afun and festive event. For those of you whocouldn't make it this year for whatever reasonwe'll see you at next year's Dinner Dance.

Now for Mooncusser….During the DinnerDance Jack Holland asked me to join him andseveral others to be the toy soldiers for their30th year in the Pompano Beach Boat Paradeon the 16th of December. I heartily acceptedand was told to arrive at the Holland's on orabout 4:00 PM that Sunday.

Twonights……"Hoo ah". The Director of On-shore Events Sharon Holland issued uniformsand rations and make up was applied to thesoldiers. We quickly did a dry run on theroutine and boarded Mooncusser for the tripto the staging area south of Atlantic Ave.Sergeant at Arms Julie Tice yelledcadence"…..Attention…." After the salutethe canon went off and all the soldiers fell downon their backs kicked their legs in the air andgot back up to do it all over again. The paradestarted…………….

2000 routines later (not really, but my thighsthink it was) it was over and we were back atthe Holland's eating the best chili I've had in along time. It was truly a great evening andkudos to the Hollands and their family andhelpers for "put'n on the ritz", in my opinion thebest entertainment of all the parades. Just askDennis and Gwenn Tynan who graciouslyonce again hosted the party for the parade and

When sailing my boat, Cheerios, the appearance of Dolphinsswimming along side her and dancing off the bow wavesbrings an unmatched delight to her Captain and crew. Eachof these days is remembered as a graceful event. I hope youhave had similar heart warming experiences while sailing.

At our January meeting you will have the opportunity to learnall about the Wild Dolphins who swim in our nearby Baha-mian waters. Dr. Denise L. Herzing, Research Director, WildDolphin Project and Florida Atlantic University Departmentof Biological Sciences and Psychology, will be presenting uswith fascinating information on the Natural History andBehavior of Atlantic Spotted Dolphins in the Bahamas. Herdiscussion will be supported with a powerpoint show includ-ing slides and audio and an underwater video describing thelife and communication signals of these Wild Dolphins.Please plan to attend. This will be both informative andentertaining.

The Wild Dolphin Project is a scientific research organizationthat studies and reports on a specific pod of free-rangingAtlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis). Objectives ofthis long-term non-invasive field research are to gatherinformation on the natural history of these dolphins,including behaviors, social structure, communication, andhabitat; and to report what we have learned to the scientificcommunity and the general public.

You can learn more about this Project prior to the meeting ontheir web site www.wilddolphinproject.org.

RaceReportby Hal Steward,Southern Breeze

Last month, as you may recall, I left the question open: "Whydo we race?" So… Why DO we race?

My associate and Cub Reporter Mary, decided to ask a fewpeople at the Holiday party. Don't hold me to the accuracyof these quotes, because she has informed me that her noteswere inadvertently soaked in wine and were somewhatillegible.

Here is a general overview largely based on "wine soaked"memory.

"Because we absolutely LOVE it and it is FUN" (Michaeland Suzi Carrington, Susimi)"Cus Mom and Dad make me." (Freddy Carrington, Susimi)"What's not to like?" (Jack Dailey, crewman on Meantime)"I have been sailing since I was 7 years old, I can't go anyslower, sorry." (Carl Wehe, Glory Daze)"Oh! We didn't realize we were "racing". (Denise and LaddCaine, Blue)"We believe in Magic!" (Brenda and Michael Duvall, Magic)"I like my team to have matching shirts, We DO look Kwel."(Colin Whittaker, Semper Amantes)"If there are two boats on the same ocean it is a race. If thereare four, it is a regatta. And it is just another reason to "messaround with boats". (John Antweiler, Blue Runner)"I have to get Carl to show me how to race without anengine." (Frank Tippett, Condor)

But Wait! What about the trophies?It is always nice to win and be recognized and we love thetrophies, and thank you Cindy Cowan for your hard work inproviding us with beautiful trophies to compete for, but in myresearch that was not the ultimate reason for racing. (Wellmaybe in the case of a couple Skippers it is).

It is more the challenge. Man or Woman against the wind andsea. Putting together a team of friends and family, using theirtalents and skills such as strategy, tactics, steering, sail trim,

Page 10

and working hard as a Team to conquer the adversaries of theelements and the competition. Competition! The more themerrier!

One thing is certain, we have a very active racing program,with many participants and we have proven ourselves as aracing club outside of our own HISC world. Case in point; the2007 51st Annual Wirth Munroe Race, Ft. Lauderdale toPalm Beach held December 7TH. This race attracts sometruly Go Fast Racin Dudes and full grown racing yachts, butit was our own H.I.S.C. boats bringing home the gold. E-Ticket and team won a first in class with a comfortable lead.Team Unicorn won first in class, Best overall yacht withadjusted time. And, ah, ah, ah, another Best overall Some-thing, (I'm sorry I cannot remember, but I was really dizzy bythen getting up and down to take all those trophy pictures).Sempre Amantes and Blue battled it out to get a 5th and 6thin class. Great showing everyone.

The Bottom Line answer as to Why Do We Race? Becauseit is a HOOT!!!!

Thanksgiving Cruise to NoName HarborBy Shirley & Don Fisher, UnforgettableShirley & Bob Kay, Harmony

Fifteen boats assembled in the harbor for the weekend. BlueBelle and Love Pat arrived early from Dinner Key andCoconut Grove or Elliott Key and environs. Six stoppedThursday in Lake Sylvia (Kokomo, Endeavour, Joie deVivre, Cracker Jack, Diversion & Harmony) and thenmotor sailed on to No Name on Friday with a beautiful daybut rolling seas. Unforgettable zipped down in no time fromBoca! One by one the fleet assembled with Magic, Fantasy,Blue, Yankee Rover, and Pegasus arriving at various times.Bob and Barbara Stephens chartered a boat for the week;Gib Sea. The gang gathered for a welcome coffee at 6:30p.m. in the shelter; some sacrificed by having dessert beforethey went for dinner! In spite of the wind, no one dragged butat midnight Unforgettable headed for the sea wall, thinkingthey were being crowded by nearby neighbors.

Saturday morning dawned with another “Chamber of Com-merce” day and Harmony decided that she had better find aspot on the seawall too. (They were not looking forward toschlepping hot gravy, turkey, etc. to shore in the dinghy!)Unfortunately there were no cleats available close to theshelter, but the powerboat ahead of Harmony moved backand gave up their cleats when the fishing boat behind them left.Mighty nice of a power boater!

HISCers did their usual thing: sleeping late, walking andscavengering for the contest, dinghying form boat to boat tovisit. Judy and Dick Martin (TiLok) and Bill and Nancy Allen(with her arm in a sling) from Nan Sea arrived by car. At 3p.m. the group gathered in the shelter for contests. Paul andDebbie Maloney challenged the captains and their mates.We learned the Captain Michael (Magic) really does listen tohis first mate (Brenda)! Jeff and Lynn Kunkel won a bottleof wine for guessing their time most accurately. FourHISCers demonstrated that there are observant and donotice sites along their way by identifying from picturesvarious sites. I wonder whether Jamie and Cindy Cowanthought it was strange that Bob Kay was out in front takingpictures of their house a couple of weeks ago?! EileenWinchell, Bill Allen, Jeff Kunkle, and Debbie Maloney wereon the winning team. God job, guys! Barbara Stephens

made a beautiful turkey from a coconut and red sea grapeleaves she had found scavengering.

Fortunately the turkey, gravy and dressing were all hot beforethe propane gave out on Harmony! Lots of good side dishesand desserts completed the meal. Everyone was relaxing anddeciding whether to have another piece of pie when the ParkRanger showed up and announced we were supposed to beout of the shelter pronto! He was turning off the lights!Thanks to all, dishes, trash — everything was cleared awayin 15 minutes. Unfortunately, the prizes Shirley Fisher hadready were not awarded for the contests as everyonedeparted quickly to the boats!

Sunday morning coffee was ready at 8 a.m. Shirley Fisherhad all sorts of rolls, muffins etc but a number of boats wereanxious to depart for home with 20kt winds and seas 4-6 plusand a possibility of building. Others were just heading up theICW and facing all those bridges. Pegasus set out for KeyLargo. We invited a Venezuelan couple to share our coffeeand sweets. The woman told us a harrowing story of fleeingfrom Chavez after having machine gun armed soldiers cometo their house. She feared for her daughter’s life, so the nextmorning she took her mother and daughter and fled to theairport without luggage or much of anything! He husband, alegislator for 15 years stayed, but then he was declared an“enemy of the government”, and he had to flee as well! Thiswoman looked out over Biscayne Bay and said “It is sobeautiful and so wonderful to have the freedom to sail ourboat wherever we want.” We could only agree. Yes, we aretruly blessed to live in such a beautiful spot and to have all thefreedoms that our country provides us. Yes, we are trulyblessed to live in such a beautiful spot and to have all thefreedoms that our country provides us. Thanksgiving took ona whole new meaning!

Afternoon visitors!

TrawlerTracksby Doug Knickerbocker,Yankee Rover

While we've been cruising for the past 8 years (has it reallybeen that long), we've been locked up as frequently as we'vebeen locked down. Let me explain. I don't mean "incarcer-ated"! One of the more interesting aspects of intracoastal andinland cruising is the opportunity to experience the variouslocks along the way. By my reckoning, we've been "lockedthrough" 242 times (either up or down). Naturally the netchange in elevation has been zero. Thank goodness for that.

There is only one lock on the principle route up the ICW. It'slocated in Great Bridge, Virgina, only 10 miles from mile 0 inNorfolk. Since the purpose of this lock is to isolate tidal fromnon-tidal water levels, the drop to the Elizabeth River north-bound is only several inches. Big deal. The US Army Corp ofEngineers operates this lock 24/7 for both pleasure craft andcommercial traffic. The lock operators are always polite andhelpful, aware that this may be the first time for many. Theytreat you gently. In this lock you provide the lines. Usually,when you're southbound in the fall, they hand out copies of the"Florida Cruising Guide" for free. Use of the lock is also "free",but you can easily figure out that the millions it costs to maintainand operate comes from all of us. Landlubbers too. All of thelocks in the USA that are found on commercial waterways areoperated at no additional cost to the users. Great deal. Notso in Canada though. We've only found one "free" l ock inCanada at Soo St Marie going up into Lake Superior. It'sreserved for pleasure craft and keeps traffic in the main USSoo locks limited to commercial (1000' ore boats). I suspectwe slip some dollars under the table to allow this to happen.Otherwise the American locks would be clogged with plea-sure boats.

An alternate to the Great Bridge lock is the Dismal Swamproute with three locks. This past summer, the route was

closed due to insufficient water to refresh the locks duringuse. It did reopen in the fall.

If you are fortunate enough to be able to "do the loop" up theICW to the Erie Canal, Trent Severn Waterway, GreatLakes, and the rivers back to the Gulf of Mexico and acrossFlorida on the Okeechobee Waterway, you get to passthrough 105 locks of every shape and description. Some areoperated by hand. Several are lift locks that take you and thewater and all up some 50 feet and drop you down 20 mileslater (up in Canada). There's even a marine railway, insteadof a lock, that drops you 80 feet over a ledge into LakeHuron. Almost all of the other locks work on the principle offirst either filling or emptying the lock. We found it interestingthat locks on the Okeechobee Waterway right here in Floridawork differently. The gates themselves are used to fill orempty the locks. The gates are designed with a round surfaceon the inside to withstand the water pressure when opened.The operators just open the gates a little and let water leak outbetween the gates to equalize the w ater levels. All of the otherlocks have separate valves for moving the water in or out.

We also went through a lock on the Mississippi River that wasso hugh that a little boat like ours didn't have to tie up on thewall. We just floated around while the lock cycle completed.Some locks provide lines or cable to hold on to, and most ofthe larger locks have floating bollards to attach your linesaround. As the elevation changes, the bollards float with you.Easy. Since there is often a lot of current in the locks,especially when filling, a good set of fenders is a must. We usetwo 15 inch diameter ball fenders and a 22 inch diameter ballfender to keep the Yankee Rover parallel to the lock wall.

Definitely something different to look forward to. Those ofyou who have cruised the canal of Europe have had much thesame experience. Great fun!!!
