Hello Scott,
We don't have children that age anymore but we are going to plan on being more in your area next year.

We just spent the week at Block Island. I should say the wife spent a week, then had to come back on the ferry while I waited out the weather and came back the following week. Ended up spending nearly two weeks there.

I'm a professional writer and write marina reviews for several publications. I do want to spend some time up north of Rhode Island. We're located up in Narragansett Bay at Apponaug Harbor. I kept meaning to head north, but circumstances kept me south all summer.

Good luck!

I cruise the North Shore of New England out of Salem Mass. with my wife and 3 kids. 2 boys 13 and 10, and a daughter 9. We are looking for other cruising families to plan some cruises with next year. We plan to visit the cape, and possibly Main, and well as our weekend trips to Boston Harbor, and North shore. Please contact me if you know of other families with children as it is always more fun for the kids if they have friends to play with. And lets face it, if the kids are happy, the parents are happy! SK

I crew for races in the Boston area. Always seeking more sailing (race and cruising) opportunities in Boston and thru-out New England. I am particularly interested in crewing for longer ocean races.

Thanks Bob. That's something I had never heard before. Considering how many times I eat lobstah's ... handy information to have.

A "slow" is a lobster that if observed for a short time, can be seen to be moving considerably slower than the rest. Lobsters when dying for whatever means, literally "slow" down. Dying lobsters release a toxin into their system which will make you severely ill for 4-5 days. Affects are similar to salmonella poisoning. This is why you toss them live into boiling water. Prevents the release of the toxin. Have first hand knowledge as was served a slow at Hampton Beach in my early teens. Couldn't look a lobster for years, over it now and will devour the spiny little buggers with great relish now.

PS Anyone considering catching lobster best get a gauge. The fines for keeping a small (undersize) lobster are steep and are multiplied by the number of small lobster. Also, females bearing eggs are a no-no.

Happy New Year! Anyone else leave their boat in the water this winter?
I'm going to be doing a series of articles on some projects inside the cabin of my O'Day so Guru's Method still has a wet bottom.

I call it a stroke of good luck to find someone willing to pay me to do a couple of projects on my own boat. I guess there are some advantages to being a freelance writer after all!

DEM
that is for RI, but other states have a lower fee.
Bob Chaisson Comment by Bob Chaisson on January 2, 2009 at 9:05am
Andrea;
As to you question about lobster pots, you need to be licensed. Licenses are being limited and I think you need to be a resident of the state in which you want to set your pots. There is legislation pending or recently approved in RI thats prevents the issue of new licenses at refuses renewal of licenses that are not being used. Go to the DEM web site for accurate details of licensing requirements for each state and where and when you can set pots. Then get yourself a license, couple of pots, bait them, set them, wait and check them periodically. BTW, NEVER EAT A SLOW, you will get incredibly ill.

If you visited Sicily then you also must go to Sardinia, where you will find by far the most beautiful sea dn beaches of the entire Mediterranean.

Lovely! Thanks for sharing the photos. My Daughter and I visited Sicily and really wished we could have made it to Sardinia. (although folks seemed to think that was strange, not sure why) Just love those un-trafficked islands. Went to Skyos Greec...
