Where is this West Harbor and how do I get there?! On Thu, 12 Feb 2009 18:08:19 -0500 "chbenneck@sbcglobal.net" <chbenneck@sbcglobal.net> writes:
Hi Tod,
Thanks for the compliment about being a good writer.
Having done a lot of sailing in many different places, yes, there are lots of good sailing stories to tell.
If the M group agree to a story about something other than M boats, I could elaborate on a story of how I met the gorgeous Nancy, on a dark and stormy night, at West Harbor, Fishers Island, NY; saved Nancy's boat from drifting on to a breakwater - their anchor was dragging, and they didn't know it - and how our formal meeting took place with her in a
Baby Doll nightgown - total see-through the instant the pouring rain
hit it - while I was holding their boat, and she was handing me mooring lines, and we were rafting up, ..... she hollered to her husband to
come help, but his reply was, I can't come, ..... wait a minute I have to put on a pair of pants..... Ah, yes, the lovely Nancy.

Connie,
You are such a good writer; have you ever considered putting down some of your own trip tales down so that the rest of us can wish that we could've been there too?

Hi Doug,
Outside the world is still all white here in Connecticut.
I just have been watching and thoroughly enjoying your lovely videos of sailing in Great South Bay.
Getting old is a miserable thing. I'd much rather still have my M15, and go sail along and with all of you.
Instead I'll just have to build a Martini, - or two - look at your video again and again, and wish that I could have been there too
Fair winds, and always a hand's breadth of water under your keel....
Connie.

I posted some video from the Great South Bay Long Island cruise this
past August.
The video doesn't do the Great South Bay justice as the sailing was
so good we were rarely sailing in company or it was to windy to video.
There is not a lot of actual sailing but lots of raft ups and and
launching shots.
Part 1 proves that you can launch an M15 by hoisting it from a bridle
from the chain plates to the stern cleats.
Part 2 has some sailing but mostly is a raft up social event.

Hi Larry, West Harbor is on Fishers Island, NY Fishers Island is located about 3 miles off the mouth of the Mystic River, and Noank, CT. Two-thirds of the island has very expensive homes, and the sort of yachts that go with the homes. My favorite was a British Navy Admirals Barge, in royal blue hull, Admirals cabin in varnished mahogany and the windows had lace curtains; a flared top polished brass funnel; and all the remaining brass gleaming in the sunlight. This boat - originally steam powered, but later converted to a diesel engine - was bought by it's owner from the British Navy, and then brought to the USA. It is used by it's owners to run over to New London, CT to pick up their weekend visitors at the New London railroad station, and bring them to Fishers Island. A lovely private ferry boat, .... if you can afford it. Unfortunately, that meeting with Nancy was a "one and only" since Nancy and her husband are from Stamford, CT. They had just bought the sailboat, and this was their maiden voyage with the new boat from their home port of Stamford to Block Island and return. You meet the nicest people in the middle of a fierce thunderstorm, with the lightning providing proper illumination for the tasks at hand. Connie Larry E Yake wrote:
