Sailing Magazine ‘GAM on Yachting’ Features 100 Wild Islands

Published: November 12, 2016

Canadian sailing magazine,  GAM on Yachting , featured the 100 Wild Islands in their magazine earlier this year.

Heading east from Halifax Harbour towards Cape Breton is the area known as the Eastern Shore with hundreds of kilometres of secluded coves, beaches and safe harbours to explore. Within this area lies what is known as the 100 Wild Islands.

All this within just a day’s sail east of Halifax, in this wild and beautiful archipelago. The intrepid sailor is welcomed by untouched white sand beaches and idyllic sheltered coves, dramatic, wind-swept headlands and rugged rocky shorelines. The islands support an interconnected mosaic of every coastal habitat found on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. Boreal rain forests, wetlands, bogs and barrens have gone largely undisturbed by humans for more than 10,000 years, providing refuge for a rich diversity of wildlife. The actual archipelago stretches over 15 nautical miles along the coast, and is truly a globally significant coastal island, and sailing paradise.

‘Boat builders seem to take pride in making stuff tricky to get to’

• September 12, 2024

Fixing boats in exotic locations is difficult even in the best conditions and with easy access. Without those things it's almost impossible says Lu Heikell

They say that the definition of cruising is ‘fixing your boat in exotic locations’. Well, crouched, sweating, in the aft heads using a head torch and a mirror to extract an ancient and recalcitrant tap unit from behind the wash basin, doesn’t seem that exotic to me. Yeah, I know, but look outside…

Seriously though, as I get that bit older and less flexible, everything just seems that bit more inaccessible. And boat builders also appear to take pride in making stuff tricky to get to. How many times have we had to ‘break’ something that is perfectly serviceable to access the broken thingummyjig?

On Seven-Tenths we had to take a jigsaw to immaculate half-inch thick teak panels in order to access the chainplates. It took me a long time to come to terms with having to do this sort of thing to fix stuff on a boat, but this was the worst by miles.

You think there must be a better way, but sadly sometimes there just isn’t – short of dismantling the entire boat’s interior furniture. You must just get on with it as best you can, and then patch up the collateral damage at your leisure.

How come a one-hour job takes five? In the cockpit we have a binnacle-mounted chart plotter in a smart white box. I had the bright idea of adding a couple of spotlights to the forward face of the box to give a bit more light to the cockpit table. Easy job? Well yes, and no.

Article continues below…

Find special tool to remove plotter? Tick. Drill out holes for spotlights in box? Tick. Power cables from cockpit light circuit to run up the steel pole of the binnacle? Tick. Make new access hole from steel pole to inside of box, as cables for plotter fill the existing hole. Hmm. Five hours, a new drill bit and drill battery recharged (twice), later. Job done!

So there I was in the aft heads, squatting in front of the wash basin cabinet – happily the doors are easily removed – using a mirror and torch to undo rusted nuts to release the tap unit. Of course you can’t actually see the fixings because the sink is in the way. And it takes a wee while to adjust to doing things in ‘reverse’, using the mirror to guide your spanner-wielding hands.

After a deal of swearing and a little brute force, the broken tap finally gave in. Three holes? Why three holes? Of course I couldn’t find a replacement tap with three holes. One hole is all you need these days, it seems. Except, of course, it isn’t the right-sized hole. Out comes the Dremel. Sorted.

And now to find different connectors for the new tap hoses. Out comes the plumbing spares kit. Luckily, we have appropriate spare connectors. I assume the position once more for the final fitting and to reconnect the water hoses – which one was the hot supply again? Now, what to cover the other two holes with? Oh, and I have to do the same thing for the tap in the forward heads… only, the cupboard barely allows access with two hands. Oh joy.

It’s true though, that once done, these trials are rewarded with a pretty decent spot for recovering, along with an appropriately named ‘Fix’ beer. The sense of satisfaction on being able to get a job done without recourse to others is good too. And unlike the UK this year, our Greek anchorage is warm and sunny and holds the promise of a cooling dip.

• What are the Dangers of Removing a Tree? 

by secure_admin | Apr 16, 2021 | Tree Service

Handling a job related to trees is  generally hazardous  however if your concern is removing a tree, you need to expect that more danger is present. When trying to make a tree fall, there is a  lot  of science behind it. The right angle or inclination is  required   in order to  protect the property that surrounds the tree. More than that, a lot of biology is also involved. Since the task is related to handling life of plants, a lot of  onside  ration is needed to ensure that when the tree is removed, it  won’t  grow back or  provide  more danger when the goal was to remove the tree to secure safety.   

So,  what are some of the risks that are involved in removing a tree?   

• Disrupting Power Lines

Trees are tall plants and humongous in size that’s why it is very possible for a tree to be in touch with some power lines. Power lines that are in high places are often live and is very dangerous to human health and the surroundings. More than that, considering that a tree is huge and tall, making it fall may put some danger into the power lines thus it may also lead to having power getting cut off. If  you’re  in the tree when this is happening, you may be subjected to electrocution and will definitely put your life at risk. This will not only provide you and your family a pain in the neck but will also provide financial problems due to medical bills or the injuries you acquired.   

• Not Using The  Right Equipment  

Tree removal requires professional individuals be use given that it is dangerous work, safety should be a first consideration. Protective gears help in securing the health of the people who are taking down a tree and if you are a homeowner trying to do the task yourself, it may be quite challenging to get your hands on these gears without investing a big amount for rental or purchase. Leaning to professionals for help will eradicate the problem of safety while securing that you have no liability or whatsoever with the individual or team helping you. Professionals in tree services have insurance with team because they know that their work is risky.  

When a tree is decaying or is already rotten, it  brings more danger than normal. When a tree is in decay, it is like a  ticking bomb however you do not know the time when it will explode. Giving the job to professionals will surely help you manage this hazard because professionals know how to determine a situation better. They are more knowledgeable on the  appearance and health of a tree than you are, thus they can know more about the dangers as well.   

Tree removal has various dangers. These dangers are mostly felt by people who want to do the job when they are not an expert in the field. Professional tree service companies do not want to put your health and safety at risk that’s why they provide services that will help  you manage any tree concerns even if your concern is not removing a tree.   

So,  do you have a tree concern? Get the help of  tree service Tyler TX  an connect with them through treeservicetylertx.com.  

• Ways to Repair Wooden Fence 

by secure_admin | Apr 14, 2021 | Fence Service

There are many factors that will cause your wooden  fence to rot. These factors include, wind, snow, rain and of course the sun. It has always been known to many that wood is vulnerable and is very prone to rotting concerns that’s why treating it is  necessary to secure the lifespan of the wooden fence you own.   

There are many  repairs  that needs to be done when repairing wooden fences and the following are as follows.  

• Fence Rails

Fence  rails issues are  not often redeemable however it always depends on the  damage in your wo oden fence. You need to level  the rails on your wooden fence and drill some holes into both the rail and the post. Use galvanized screws to secure the rails. You also need to caulk the fence’s joint. To make  the  repair made invisible to  the eye, grab some pain to cover up the repair.   

• Fence Sections

When the scenario requires for the entire railing of the fence to be replaced, the first thing you should do is to dismantle the fence section of concern. First thing to do is to cut the rails in a size  that  will fit with the top of your fence’s posts. You can extend the rail between two posts. To secure the spacing, do the measuring and cutting one by one. Butt each end of the rail you prepared and nail them using galvanized screws or nails. Take note that to secure that everything is even, use a level.   

• Fence Screening

The screening on your  fence that has  been damaged for  quite a while now may be easily handled within a small duration of hours. Get the measurement of the piece of the fence screening that has been  damaged and with that same measurement prepare the new  peace that you will use to replace the damaged one. You can use a handsaw to execute it easily.   

• Fence Posts

A fence that wobbles should be a cause of alarm. This means that you will need to do some repairs in order to  handle the problem. The initial and most important step in  handling a problem like this is to ensure the source of the issue. Be sure to know if the post is either rotten or just broken. If the post is broken, it most often can be  handled with some splints however a rotten post may really require you for a replacement.   

• Fence Gates

A gate can sag overtime and it can be dangerous considering the possibility of the gate falling. Bent hinges can be easily handled and secured through replacing it with hinges that are more durable and are  heavier . You can also glue those loose screws to ensure that they are tightly securing the gate.   

Fences can be difficult to handle alone without proper knowledge about it. However, problems with fences can be easily handled by individuals with expertise like  fence service Bryan TX . These professionals can be reached through fenceservicebryantx.com to provide you the help you need.   

• How do you Know When a Fence Should be Replaced or Repaired?  

by secure_admin | Apr 12, 2021 | Fence Service

The fence in your home is a significant part of your home. It provides you a perimeter to your property while  ensuring the protection of your property, your family and the garden or  landscaping that surrounds your home. The fence also provides a good appeal to your property and  helps in raising the value of your home. These mentioned factors are great considerations when it comes to fence concerns.   

So,  if ever your fence has troubles, when should you resort to repair and when should you prefer replacement?   

Any damage in your fence will require attention however to ensure the condition it is in, a good eye from a professional will help  determine  the issues needed to be addressed. If you are just home with lots of time, you can always do some easy repairs for yourself however when issues are  more complicated and require more  handiwork , then go ahead and call the professionals for help. You can get  some help from  fence service Tyler TX  through accessing their  website  fenceservicetylertx.com.   

Rotting and mold  issues call for repair when found early. You can either  clean the existing mold yourself or call a professional’s help to  have a thorough  cleaning. Rotting on wood on the  other hand may not be as easy to handle on your own because it often spreads very easily thus even if the wood may seem okay outside, the rotting may be  unseemly spreading on the inside part of the wood.   

Often, when rotting issues arise, repair is not advised. It is  not very  effective  considering the costs you will be  spending for patching a rotting problem because it may not solve the problem long term. Thus,  professionals often call for replacement because it is wiser to spend on a new wooden fence than  spend  a ton on repair on a fence that  may still  need replacement if the rotting issues continues.   

Wobbly posts on your fence may also be an indication of repair or replacement. Often pots become wobbly when faced with issues of the wood being broken or the wood getting rotten. You  can  easily solve the problem through sinking the post into concrete to make sure that the posts are sturdily installed vertically on the ground.   

Looks panels can also be a pain because it can get really problematic with the presence of strong winds. If the wooden fence in your home is still usable, you can easily nail it back to secure it in place. However, even if this may solve the problem at first, this may not be a  long-term  solution.   

Replacement is a solution that is often considered when there is no other way to fix your fence. You can still do your best in pushing the repair, however, even if you try your best in repairing your fence,  it  ca still fail and need replacement. When this situation  arises , go for the replacement instead to save on the resources you have. It will definitely save you more time and costs in the long run.   

• Why Buy a Gun from a Gun Store? 

by secure_admin | Apr 9, 2021 | Gun Stores

The  digital platform has provided a convenient and flexible way to shop almost anything. You can have  clothes, food and other common goods delivered to your doorstep just by clicking on a few icons on your mobile phone however when talking about gun  shops like  gun shops in OKC , it is better to purchase it  personally on stores.  

Critical purchases like guns  must include expertise specially for buyers who are just new to gun usage. More than that, each gun may be more specifically used for a certain  activity and purchasing on stores will really help a beginner have more knowledge and the liberty to ask any of his or her concerns.   

Some people often go for  vintage items or weapons that are specialized for a certain activity. More than that, discounts that you find rampantly online can also be  provided by physical gun stores. Given the benefit of  discounts when purchasing as well as the  knowledge and better  consumer handling, getting your gun  in stores may just be the best idea.   

So why should you really invest in  transporting yourself to a  store that sells guns rather than opting for online platforms?  

• Impacts on the economy

Buying on local stores, not only helps your fellow local but will also bring economic  benefits to your hometown. You can also venture in  helping others through going to their seminars or training they provide which are free. These programs often cater not just to the benefit of the store owner but also to other locals as well.   

Some shops also provide support in local school related activities while she  focuses  on supporting sports. Thus, if you are going to buy locally, you are actually one of the people who is helping your local community prosper.   

• Consumer Handling

Consumer handling often referred to as customer service is almost not present in online platforms. Yes, you can get direct replies, however digital platforms have provided default messages to reply to customers no are really not physically messaging you themselves whenever you want to raise a concern that needs present attention. Buying guns is not as easy as choosing the clothing available online. If you already know the size you need to purchase and have the knowledge that a certain brand may be smaller than the other, you can easily weight what size  you  should check out, however guns are more complicated than that. Beginners often need a lot more details and they also want to know more because guns are snot very affordable investments. If you are going for a gun store online because you are in need of a gun for a certain activity, it may be best to close your desktop and drive your way to the nearest local store around your area.   

Gun purchase is not easy. It  requires a lot of information exchange between the owner and the customer. Thus, if you want to wisely purchase a gun on a decent and worthy cost, go to your local store and get not just the gun itself  but also the tip provided by a more  knowledgeable gun  enthusiast.   

Do you want more information on  guns? Try looking online through accessing  savagesooner.com. The website provides a good overview on  certain guns.

Jason Kelce Was ‘Stone-Cold Sober’ While Dancing at Eagles Tailgate, Brother Travis Isn’t Convinced

Jason Kelce was not, in the words of his brother Travis Kelce , “going to black out” when he was dancing ahead of this week’s Philadelphia Eagles game.

“Dude, I was stone-cold sober,” Jason, 36, told Travis, 34, during the Wednesday, September 18, episode of their “New Heights” podcast . “I know you don’t believe me.”

Travis replied, “No way. Those knees don’t work like that sober.”

Jason headed back to Philadelphia on Monday, September 16 to watch his former team, the Eagles, take on the Atlanta Falcons. Before going on TV as one of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown commentators, a video of Jason dancing wildly at one Eagles fan’s tailgate made it to social media.

“I was not drinking until after the game. After I was up in the booth, at the end of it,” Jason said during Wednesday’s podcast. “I promise you. I don’t know how I did that because I’ve never done that sober.”

The brothers went back and forth with Travis saying that Jason doesn’t “have rhythm” until drinking “like, 10 beers.”

“Travis, hey, I’m letting you know right now,” Jason started. Travis interrupted him, adding, “I could tell by the way you were talking in the third quarter in the booth, that you had been on an up and down roller coaster of being in and out of being drunk since about noon.”

Jason continued to deny his younger brother’s claims.

“Do you know how hard it was to throw Garage Beers ? I threw probably 100 beers, I’m not exaggerating, from a pickup truck and didn’t drink one,” Jason said. “Do you know how hard that was?”

How Well Do You Know Travis Kelce?

Jason called himself “a professional” now that he’s taken on the role of sports commentator. “I don’t mess around,” he continued.

Jason played as the Eagles center for 13 seasons before announcing his retirement in March. Monday’s game was the first time the former NFL star returned to Lincoln Financial Field since retiring. (The Falcons beat the Eagles 22-21 on Monday.)

“This tailgate was awesome,” Jason added, noting that he recognized some of the hosts from Eagles events over the years. “I wanted to be out there with these guys. I don’t know how we got to throwing Garage Beers.”

Detailing this tailgate , Jason said there were a lot of fans and food — including fried alligator, which he ate. Wrapping up the Monday Night Football recap, the brothers discussed Jason’s dancing once again.

“I was so proud. Everyone thinks I’m the dancer. Dude, you are the f—ing most electric dancer I’ve ever met in my life,” Travis told Jason. “You can put a smile on anybody’s face by dancing, dude.”

110 Years of Yachting

• By Kim Kavin
• Updated: January 9, 2017

On may 26, 1906, a trio of sailboats cast off their lines in Brooklyn, New York, bound for the history books. The 28- and 38-footers were headed for Bermuda, and they were shockingly small racing yachts by the standards of the time. At the turn of that century, 120- to 130-foot America’s Cup yachts were the ocean-racing legends people knew by name — Defender, Vigilant, Columbia — yachts they read about in newspapers that left their fingers stained with ink, yachts that were always manned by professional crew, and that lay beyond the grasp of a public who thirsted for more. The smaller yachts going out that day, in the first running of what we now call the Newport Bermuda Race, were invited as a thumb in the eye to the notion that serious boating was for aristocrats only — no everyman need apply. The organizers of that 1906 race wanted to bring more yachtsmen into the ocean-racing fold, the way other visionaries were looking to do the same for everyday people in other pursuits. Two years later, the first Model T Ford was built. America was changing forever.

This was the world into which Yachting was born.

We published our first issue in 1907, and we have evolved along with the passions of yachtsmen every year since. The yachts are in some ways more impressive today, with technology and capabilities that would have seemed incomprehensible to the editors of our first issue, but our mission remains aligned with theirs from more than a century ago: We share news of the world’s most incredible yachts, and we celebrate the enthusiasm that drives the most intrepid of us to take the helm ourselves.

Yachting Magazine , 1925

Some memorable yachts that have joined us on this arc of history continue to give us new reasons to step aboard. There is Shamrock V , built in 1930 to compete for the America’s Cup and still on the water, offering charter vacations as the only wooden J Class in the world. There is Christina O , also for charter today, having launched in 1943 as a Canadian naval vessel and gone on to become Aristotle Onassis’ converted superyacht and, later, the presidential yacht of Greece. There is the 408-foot Savarona , launched in 1931 for the granddaughter of the man who engineered the Brooklyn Bridge and, today, serving as the presidential yacht of Turkey. Savarona was built for about $4 million at Blohm+Voss, a shipyard that also produced some of today’s most mesmerizing yachts, including two of the world’s three largest now afloat: the 536-foot Eclipse and the 531-foot Dubai .

And we have discovered other yachts along the way as shipyards tantalized us with increasingly interesting designs. There were the first of the custom-built Trumpy wooden yachts, of which perhaps 90 survive. There was Moppie , the built-for-speed, 31-foot Bertram whose early 1960s racing exploits left yachtsmen so exhilarated that she still serves as inspiration for Bertram models today. Knit Wits , built in fiberglass, was the first sport-fisher from Hatteras Yachts. She was christened in 1960 and designed by Jack Hargrave, whose sketches turned into more than 7,000 yachts and ships on the water. There was the Riva Aqua-rama, introduced in 1962, replete with Italian style and elegance that was copied for decades the world over. There was the 57-foot Constellation that Chris-Craft launched in 1971, marking the end of its all-mahogany builds. Remember Failaka ? She was the 105-footer that Azimut launched in 1982 as the biggest mass-produced fiberglass yacht at that time. There was Dasher , the first Hinckley Picnic Boat, which launched in 1994 and sparked a revival in Down East styling.

We could, of course, go on, but that would leave no room for the newest dream boats capturing our hearts, with builders adopting everything from pod-drive propulsion to shape-shifting hulls to glazing techniques that make entire yachts seem like they are made of glass when we stand at their helms, looking out. Those are the moments that continue to spark our imaginations, that take our breath away at the awesomeness of it all, that remind us to cherish our good fortune in having such a prominent role in the story of yachting as a sport. The feeling of elation that such moments inspire in our hearts, no doubt, is just as strong today as it was for the editors who wrote our first pages in 1907.

“It’s a very different publication, even from 10 years ago. Yachting is constantly evolving, and that’s a good sign.” Charles Barthold

The Stewards

The incarnation of Yachting that you are reading at the dawn of 2017 emerged in the 1980s. Oliver S. Moore, who had worked at Time, Newsweek and Money , became Yachting ‘s publishing director. He inherited a magazine filled with tiny text and small photographs, as well as an audience of die-hard sailors who were Yachting ‘s base of readers and advertisers — a base that was shrinking as marinas experienced a historical shift, welcoming more powerboats than there ever used to be.

“I was looking at a sailing magazine as well as a failing magazine,” Moore recalls. “There weren’t enough sailboat advertisers. If we’d continued to publish a sailing magazine, we would’ve gone out of business.”

During the next few years, Yachting began its progression toward the future of boating, showing fewer boats that had sticks and sails, and embracing big-gun MTUs and Volvo Pentas. Not every reader accepted the change, which Moore says was needed if Yachting was to survive.

“It was bitter, and it was angry,” he says. “They thought that I was destroying this precious national treasure. I was vilified. But it started to happen.”

Charles Barthold picked up the mantle as editor-in-chief and cemented the transition with features such as The Yachting Registry, a printed list of yachtbuilders that helped enthusiasts find the right shipyard for their style of boat. The world of cruising opened up to even more people, and editors like Barthold found themselves on journeys that inspired readers’ dreams of cruising far, as well as cruising often.

“I got to go on incredible adventures — South Africa, the Panama Canal, cruising the Caribbean, sailing in Europe — but it made me realize how lucky I am to be on Long Island Sound,” he says of where he continues to boat today, from his home in Connecticut. “Many of these places are spectacular in their own right, but on this end of Long Island Sound, within 20 or 30 miles, there are incredible places to go.”

Peter Janssen took Yachting ‘s helm in the mid-2000s, arriving from sister magazine Motorboating & Sailing as the modern-day superyacht market continued to shock the world with its levels of luxury and jaw-dropping scale.

“At Motorboating & Sailing , we did boats from 25 to 75 feet, which is fine, but I had never been to the Monaco show or the Antigua charter show, those kinds of things. I remember the first time I went, the overnight flight on Delta from Kennedy [airport] to Nice, France, and then you walk 100 yards to a helipad and fly about 50 feet over the water, and 10 minutes later you’re landing in Monaco. And I thought, ‘This is really cool.'”

Yachting Magazine , 2002

It is really cool, and it promises to remain so for years to come. The yachts continue to get more fascinating, with features that make it possible for someone with no boating experience to step aboard, plug waypoints into a display, steer by joystick and embrace the sport — a far cry from what it took to sail in that first Newport Bermuda Race more than a century ago.

“ Yachting is the gold standard. The name says it all. I think there will always be a Yachting , in one form or another.” Peter Janssen

“It was so different back then, and in many ways, more interesting,” Janssen says, explaining how he sorted through Yachting ‘s earliest issues to produce the magazine’s 100th anniversary editions in 2007. “There was one story after another. They had people doing things. It was harder to do things then, so the people were, in a sense, more courageous to be out doing those things.”

Perhaps, but that doesn’t mean they were any luckier. When we look out at the horizon, we have the blessing of knowing there is, indeed, much more to come.
