Del Wiese
Liveaboard Discoveries
Sailing, Sailing
I love being out on the water (which seems like a contradictory statement considering my boat is about to be
declared a protected reef from sitting at the dock too
long), but for six lovely months Lynda and I were liveaboards. First, I should quickly point out that Avventura
is very comfortable both underway and in the harbor.
Lynda compares sleeping on board to being in a cradle
that gently rocks you to sleep.
The past few weeks have been hectic due to two very
different activities, but both with sailing in common. Last Saturday the Melbourne Yacht Club hosted a
sail-a-thon for Heart of Sailing. You may recall my
speaking about Heart of Sailing a few months ago. It is
an organization that takes disadvantaged persons, primarily those with autism or downs syndrome, day sailing. We were able to take about 14 persons and family
members out day sailing due to many MYC skippers
volunteering their time and boats. Most of those skippers are also ECSA members and their efforts, and
those who helped on shore, are very much appreciated. There are some great pictures of the event on
the MYC web site (http://www.melbourneyachtclub.com/
PhotoGallery/). The day sails continue to be a triple
win; the skippers/crew, participant and participant’s family all benefit. A great program; contact me if you are
interested in volunteering.
Our adventure began with locating the boat in West
Palm Beach where I was working for a large energy
company. We needed a place to stay, so I moved the
boat to a slip we called home. Trouble is, nature intervened. For example, one morning we got up, dressed
and came on deck only to find the dock about three feet
above the rails! I knew the tides were higher than at our
dock, but I’m not sure that I was prepared for this one.
So up on the cabin trunk and up to the dock we went –
actually becoming quite adept at doing the leap of faith
(that you would make the jump) with computers and
briefcases (note to self: tie up at floating docks whenever possible).
Daunting tides were not the highlight of this trip, however. One night the pump on the head jammed up and
wouldn’t pump water into the head. In fact, the pump
handle went up but didn’t go back down. Now, for those
of you that haven’t been to my house, you should know
that I have three bookcases filled with old issues of
SAIL, CRUISING WORLD and LATTS AND ATTS
magazines, which Lynda continues to want to prune
down, and I keep insisting that each and every issue
contains some valuable information on boat maintenance, repair or other great tips for boat owners. This
one particular time, I was proven right as I searched for
information on head repair. The pump handle malfunction was quite a head scratcher, if you’ll pardon the pun.
As I turned the pages of my trusty collection of magazines that I had selected for this trip, lo and behold, I
found complete instructions to overhaul my exact model
head! I quickly amassed the correct collection of tools
and promptly set about with the procedure. As each
piece went into place like a much practiced surgery, the
head was rebuilt in only an hour and a half (this was my
first time, so I wanted to be careful). I also allotted time
The second event was the Ft. Lauderdale to Charleston,
SC, race. Even with weeks of planning, the last few
days proved to be hectic. We departed on Sunday, after spending all day Saturday with Heart of Sailing, to
take the boat to Ft. Lauderdale. We were going south
so of course the wind was blowing 20 out of the
south. We overnighted in Ft. Pierce and decided to stay
in the ICW and suffer the multitude of bridges rather
than brave the waves we thought were outside due to
protracted strong winds. Got to Lauderdale about
10:30p.m. only to find that the slip we had reserved
was occupied and had to anchor out.
Lauderdale
Yacht Club provided a slip on Tuesday and the skippers
meeting was at the LYC facility. The weather briefing
reinforced what we had been seeing on the weather
sources: light air, not good news. Only six boats
showed up for the start; several who were registered,
for whatever reason, did not race. Three of the boats
were from Melbourne: my boat, Chasing Rainbows, Phil
Scalise on Santarella and Floyd Bryan on Esprit.
Winds were light at the start at 2p.m. on Wednesday,
but by 7p.m. had died. For the next 12 hours we never
saw more than three knots of wind. At times the boat
was pointed south and drifting north. Thursday brought
light winds again and by mid-afternoon we had deter-

March 10, 2010
COMMODORE John Geraci:
Thank you to Dave & Brenda Merchberger for arranging
and sponsoring the Miami Boat Show trip.
There will be two distance cruises to St. Augustine
– an inside passage and an outside passage. Possible date will be May 8. A sign-up sheet will be on
the table for those interested in going.
On our website, we now have a reference to
Google maps that will pin-point our meeting location.
John is continuing to work with Brenda Merchberger
on a hand-out flyer for publicity to attract new members to the club. Right now, it is an 8 1/2” x 11”
sheet that can be displayed flat or tri-folded. The
flyer was passed around so members could look at
it.
A new wireless microphone for the meetings is a
possibility. The challenge is to find one for less than
$50.
Thanks to Nancy Keane and Dave Cordial for the
refreshments tonight.

The folks at the south end of the Grand Canal will host
this year’s Progressive Dinner and Poker Rally, so
please make plans to join us for our 10th annual Lake
Shepard Progressive Dinner. Boaters will anchor in
Lake Shepard and dinghy to four locations Saturday
evening. Lake Shepard is located just south of Tortoise Island Bridge on the east side of the Grand Canal in Satellite Beach. If you are unable to join us in
our convoy of dinghies, you are welcome to come by
land yacht. All venues this year are within two blocks,
so dinghy travel time has been cut to a minimum. We
are trying something different this year. ECSA has
“adopted” Samsons Island as a club project. As a
result we plan on combining the Progressive Dinner
with the Island clean-up the next day. Transportation
to the island and a lunch will be provided. (See article
on page 8 on Adopting Samsons Island for details.)
Those individuals with last names beginning with A-L,
please bring appetizers or finger food to share at location #1 “Happy Hour”. Those with last names beginning with M-Z, please bring a dessert to share at location #4 “Dessert.” Also please bring your own beverages and folding chairs to the venues. The Saturday
event will end after dark, so bring lights and the required “stuff” for your dinghy.

to retrieve the miscellaneous parts that scurried out
of my reach on the head’s floor grate. Well, after
much satisfaction that I had assembled everything
correctly, I reattached the unit to the fixture and
plugged in the intake hose and tried to pump the
head. This still didn’t work! Quickly, I retraced all of
my steps – yes, the valves were pointing the right
way, everything looked correct until I peered into the
intake hose. Sitting just inside was a small fish that
was almost the size of the hose – great, I thought;
just when I decide to pump, I pull in a poor unsuspecting fish. I removed the remains and reattached
the hose: success! Once again the sweet sound of
water flushing in and exiting into the holding tank
was music to my ears - Yessss! I am the master of
the head.
mined that we had very little chance of making the
72-hour deadline for the race. We spotted a competitor with a 54-foot boat heading south and called
him on the radio. He had withdrawn and told us he
had satellite weather data indicating he had no
chance of finishing in time. At 37 feet, we had less
of a chance and that firmed up our decision. A bit
later Esprit withdrew and later Santarella followed
suit. Before long all competitors had withdrawn.
Now I could take the magazine proudly into the main
saloon to prove to Lynda that I was justified in keeping my vast information stash. She grudgingly
agreed and we settled back to wrestling with the
tides. Only a day or so later, the pump handle refused to budge – what?!! My handiwork has failed?
Quickly, I removed the intake hose and, yes, you
guessed it, another one of those pesky fish swam up
inside the hose blocking the intake again! What perversion of nature is this fish? I tried to see if there
was more info on this species, some documented
incident that was published in my voluminous collection, but no – nothing was mentioned. I decided to
contact the game and fresh water commission to
report the discovery of a new species: Crappie Pluggus Maximus.
It was a bitter end to a lot of planning (and expense) but we still had some good times. My crew
is a great bunch of guys that I really enjoy being
with, and being out on the water is always great so
it was not a lost cause. And there is always next
year. Or maybe we will decide to do the Gulfstreamer, a race from Ponce Inlet to Charleston in
late May.
A note of possible interest, all boats are required to
carry a white box which relays the boat position and
speed to a satellite.
There is a web site
www.ionearth.com that displays all boat locations
and information. It is great for interested persons to
monitor.

Fernandina Beach
May 8th through May 22nd
Dave Cordial
It’s time to untie your boats from the dock and join a
small group of fellow ECSA members for a cruise to
beautiful Fernandina Beach, FL. The object of the
trip is to do as much off-shore sailing as possible
(weather permitting). However, part of the group will
travel north using the ICW. We plan to spend several days at the Fernandina Harbor Marina visiting
the city and the surrounding areas of St. Mary’s,
Kingsland, and Cumberland Island.
A proposed itinerary is posted at http://

Mardi Gras Review
Karen Coleman
Since our cruise hosts, the Merchbergers, were indisposed, here is my brief account of the weekend.
It was a really, really cold and drizzly Saturday, and
Joe Coleman was the only intrepid sailor determined
to come by boat. I went along for the ride and stayed
below where it was possibly a degree warmer.
Gail and David Cordial wanted to get credit for arriving by boat - some silly story about untying the boat at
their slip at Whitley Bay and moving it a bit before
retying. Bob Wiley had already joined them on Mrs.
C.
No one was at the dinghy dock at 6:00 pm, so the five
of us walked around the park to El Charro, where an
ECSA group had already been seated. All told, we
had a group of 17 for dinner there, far fewer than in
previous years. The weather must have deterred a
lot of people because the restaurant had a lot of
empty tables and the park was not nearly as crowded
as usual. Some of our diners didn't even stay for the
parade.
The parade was reported to have 45 floats this year
and there were some good ones, including several
kinds of boats. However there were a few work
trucks and vans with business advertising on them
and no other decoration - some with no beads even that I hope weren't included in the float count. Some
of the beads had businesses cards stapled to them
too. A sign of the economy?? I ended up with a
neckful of beads again, easier this year than before
since there were fewer people along the barricades,
and no tall Dave to reach over me.
Since we had taken a slip instead of anchoring out
and dinghying back and forth, we were able to use
our little electric heater and we returned to a toasty
boat for the night. We believed that we were the only
ones left in the morning, so we vetoed breakfast in
the park and motorsailed home.

Samsons Island Adopt-aPark Workday
May 2
Karen Coleman
Samsons Island is a 52-acre environmental preserve in the Banana River just west of Satellite
Beach. It was once a spoil island with only exotic
plants, but volunteers and city staff have worked
diligently since 1991 to clear and replant with Florida native species. Walking trails, primitive campsites and picnic areas have also been established.
Now the city’s goal is to supplement the usual core
of volunteers and staff with Adopt-a-Park groups
that will commit to two work visits a year, in the
spring and the fall.
At the February general meeting I suggested that
this would be a good way to make the club visible
while doing good for the community, and a show of
hands indicated that there would be enough volunteers to make it worthwhile. I met with the Recreation Director and decided on two dates: Sunday,
May 2, and Saturday, October 9.
Our first Adopt-a-Park workday is the day after the
Progressive Dinner and I scheduled the cleanup
from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (unless we finish earlier!) Some ECSA members may arrive in their
own boats, kayaks, or dinghies, and Satellite
Beach has a boat to carry those who do not have
their own transportation to the island. The boat will
leave its dock west of the Satellite Beach Fire Department at 10:00. Parking will be allowed in Dr.
Ireland’s parking lot just across Cinnamon Court.
Samsons Island has a dock on the Grand Canal
and there is another in the cut through to the Banana River on the south side of the island. The
Satellite Beach boat requires half of the front of the
main dock, so that must be kept clear. (Note: A
permit is required to be on the dock or island after
dusk.) We will hang the ECSA banner to promote
the club.
A Satellite Beach representative will be there to tell
us what our assigned work area is and what we
are to do. The city has a supply of work tools and
gloves available, but many people prefer to bring
their own. There is no fresh drinking water, but
there is a deep well for hand washing. Dress appropriately for the weather and the work, being
sure to have closed toe shoes. It might be a good
idea to have your mosquito repellant and sunscreen handy, but no purses are necessary –
there’s nothing to buy there. If I provide a headcount to the Rec Department by the previous
Wednesday (April 28), they will bring water and
lunch for members of the work party.
So mark your calendars and show up ready to work
on May 2 to burn all those calories you consumed
at the Progressive Dinner. Be sure to sign up at a
meeting or via email (kmcoleman@cfl.rr.com) so
you can have lunch, too. If you let me know that you
will need transportation, I can give the Rec an idea
of how many to expect. In case you need it, my cell
phone number is 321-795-5588 and Joe’s is 321223-6871. See you there!
