Welcome to the 2013 EYC Cruise sea-son. Joining a cruise is a wonderful way to meet fellow members, have fun with your yacht, visit beautiful places in our cruising grounds and experience great meals at yacht clubs and marinas that have agreed to host us. On behalf of all the Officers and Staff of EYC, I wish you a terrific 2013 summer season and fun on these cruises!

Pat and I began cruising 12 years ago. Today, we cruise as often as we can. For the last several years, we’ve cruised the BVI and Leeward Islands in the winter. We really look forward to EYC’s summer cruise schedule.

As Chairman of the Cruise Committee, I think our team has picked some really interesting places to visit with a cruise schedule that allows you many choices and ways to participate. If you can’t make the entire cruise, please consider joining us for one or more nights. You may even come by land and stay in local accommodations.

Our objective is to encourage as many members as possible to experience cruising and activities with fellow Club members. Please let me or any of the Cruise Committee know how we can help you to participate!

Enter the inner harbor keeping can “7” to port. Turn northerly at red flasher (R”8”), leaving that to starboard. Keep can “9” to port and follow the fairway (approx. NNE course) for 200-300 yards or so. The Beverly Yacht Club is to port on the western shore of the inner harbor. There is only 10-minute docking at the Club. Use channel 68 to call for the Beverly Yacht Club launch (and for help with locating a mooring). The launch drivers, of course, will also respond to three blasts of your fog horn. Do not pick-up any mooring not specifically assigned to your vessel by the launch driver.

Daily Log: 28NM

Founded in 1872, Beverly Yacht Club is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the United States.

Marion is a delightful residential town, felt by its residents to have rare natural beauty and charm. The small town character, blended with the flavor and benefits of a seacoast community with lovely residential neighborhoods and modern conveniences, makes Marion an ideal town for year round living. Recreation opportunities are plentiful and Sippican Harbor hosts a variety of waterfront programs, including swimming at the town beaches, pleasure boating and fishing. There are golf courses and indoor and outdoor tennis courts, while Tabor Academy periodically opens up its hockey rink to the public.

Marion’s roots go back to 1679, when the town was first settled as a village known as Sippican, a part of Rochester. Rochester, Mattapoisett and Sippican, widely separate villages under the domain of Rochester, gradually developed different interests and economies. These factors led to independence for Sippican, which was renamed Marion in honor of the Revolutionary War hero, Francis Marion, in 1852. Today it has a stable year round population with a moderate summertime increase. Over the years, the heterogeneous population has worked hard to preserve Marion’s rich historic traditions.

Cuttyhunk is the southernmost island in the Elizabeth Islands chain. The Harbor lies between Cuttyhunk and Nashawena Island to the east. To the west of the harbor there’s a narrow dredged channel that leads to the deep water basin of Cuttyhunk Pond.Cuttyhunk Harbor is approximately 3.5 nm from Quicks Hole, 6 nm across Buzzards Bay from New Bedford, 7.5 nm from Menemsha Bight on Martha’s Vineyard.From the north it is best to approach Cuttyhunk from the east. Steer toward Mo(A) Bell RW “CH”, SE of Penikese Island, then cut between RN “2E” and GC “1E” into the harbor. From the east or south via Vineyard Sound, head into Buzzards Bay via Quicks Hole between Nashawena and Pasque Islands.DO NOT use Canapitsit Channel, which separates Cuttyhunk from Nashawena Island, without local knowledge. The channel is narrow, rocky and subject to stong currents making the passage dangerous.Cuttyhunk Island is part of the Town of Gosnold, in the Commonwealth of Massachusets. Cuttyhunk Island rests 12 miles south of New Bedford, MA and 8 miles west of Gay Head, Martha’s Vineyard.

FROM THE EAST: stay at least 1 mile offshore here, and make a course for GR C at Elisha Ledge. Rounding this buoy to either side, it’s about 1.6 miles west to R “2” Bell marking Schuyler Ledge, 1 mile south of Sakonnet Point. Stay to the south of R “2” Bell as you head west. Pass the R “2” Bell by about a mile, keeping a mile offshore to avoid the rocks and fish traps. (Please note the legend on your chart for the areas around Newport and Sakonnet that mark the areas where fish traps are located) There are two privately maintained Y Fl Y 2.5s markers west of West Island and about a half mile apart. These identify fish traps that are fished until about mid-June….keep them to the east. Then, turn northwest toward R “2A” Bell. Both West and East Island are uninhabited; keep a safe distance. From R “2A” Bell, it’s another mile to Fl R 4s 34 ft 8M “2” on the north end of the breakwater at Sakonnet Harbor.

Founded in 1998 to revitalize an historic harbor property and to preserve its storied heritage, the Sakonnet Point Club’s mission is to provide members and their guests access to the Sakonnet waters, as well as offer quality, complementary activities such as boating, swimming, exercising, dining, and socializing in a setting of unmatched harbor and ocean views. The Club is fully committed to maintaining a relaxed, family-focused and welcoming atmosphere.

Welcome to our Cruising Guide for Shelter Island, NY. The Indians called Shelter Island “Manhansack-aha-quashawomock”, which meant “an island sheltered by islands”. And that is exactly what makes this island so special.

Shelter Island (or “The Rock” as it is commonly called) is nestled between the twin forks of Long Island, protecting it from the swells of the ocean. Shelter Island was first settled by the Manhassett Indians and then later by the English in 1652. There are many interesting facts to be learned about Shelter Island’s long and rich history.Today sailors and boaters, alike continue to enjoy these beautiful waters. We highly recommended a sail or cruise around Shelter Island. While circling the island you will see not only all the beautiful sights Shelter Island has to offer, but also to gorgeous scenery of the North and South Forks. While the scenery is beautiful, please beware of several “touchy” areas if you are boating around the island For more information please see our “Waypoints & Hazard Around Shelter Island” Page.Dering Harbor may not be the largest harbor located on Shelter Island, but it is by far the busiest. Located directly across from Greenport on Long Island’s North Fork, Dering Harbor is also the home of several restaurants and shopping stores. This Harbor is well protected in the summer from the prevailing southwesterly breezes, but is quite exposed to the strong winds from the north. The coast line is decorated with some of the most beautiful homes and mansions on

the island. Once inside the harbor there are several marinas to assist you with your stay that offer dockage and moorings. You will find that this harbor is very “boater friendly” and gaining access to the harbor is very straightforward.

Here are some local regulations you will need to know while in Dering Harbor:• Pumping out in the harbor is illegal and punishable by law. Please check with the marine services in Dering Harbor to find out where to get pumped out. Help keep our harbor clean.• Shell fishing is illegal without a permit

Dering Harbor also offers plenty of things for the family to do and explore. Kayaks, Shopping, exploring Greenport and biking is just the beginning. See Our Things to Do Page for more information.
