Cherry Edged Beothuk Part 1
Another paddle design that intrigued me was that of the Beothuk paddle descibed by Adney. The tragedy of the Beothuk extermination in Canada means that nearly all reliable info on this tribe has been lost to history, but Graham Warren has a nice plan of a surmised paddle with a "bobble" style grip in his first book that I blogged about earlier.
Given the graceful sloping design of the blade and its similarity to the 17th Century replica paddle I'd been working on, I thought I could steam laminate some cherry edging on this one as well. This paddle is cut from Yellow Birch (Betula alleghaniensis) and following my steaming procedure from before, a cherry strip was heated and clamped around the edge of the paddle blade. I took these shots while working the garage up the cottage.
Steaming the cherry; Clamping to the blade
Unfortunately, this time around, once I removed the screw clamps, the cherry split under the pressure at the tight turn at the tip and the foaming Polyurethane glue sprayed everywhere creating quite a nasty mess. The bulk of the cherry edging is fixed quite well however, so to salvage this paddle, I resketched the tip a few inches higher and will have to settle for a shorter blade length and an incomplete edging effect.
Split Edging; Redrawn blade
Rather than re-sawing this out by hand, I've decided to wait on this and bring it back to the city for a visit to The Carpenter's Square where it'll be reshaped with their bandsaw. We'll see if this major mistake can be corrected or if the paddle will need to be cut up and made into something else.

Puerto Rico part 1
 |
| A south coast beach, inside the reef. |
The next morning with our "Spanish for Cruisers" and some pantomiming, we are handed the phone and Jose explains the car is $35/day and it is $10/person/day to use the marina ($20 for use of the dinghy dock, laundry, showers). We are more than willing to pay for marina services when we are anchored out, but after purchasing fuel and renting a car this seemed excessive for what this tiny marina has to offer. One washer/dryer--outside. Showers next to the fish processing building. No "actual" dinghy dock. (We had to scramble up a wall.) We'll be departing as soon as we do some provisioning!
The roads in Puerto Rico are much better than the Dominican, but the drivers are still crazy (or maybe we aren't used to driving anymore). We quickly find the WalMart, which has a FULL parking lot on a Wednesday morning. We score several of the DVD's we were planning on ordering, replacement iphone/iPad cords and a new wireless keyboard. I realize there is a grocery section but I've reached my overload and we decide to bolt. As usual at WalMart, the lines couldn't be any longer, but our cashier makes me smile when he looks up holding Game of Thrones season 5, saying in English "I love this show!"
We need a form notarized and don't have any luck at the local bank, but they give us excellent directions to a lawyer (in a strip mall sandwiched between the condom store and night club). Surprisingly my "Hola. Habla Ingles?" results in the gentleman standing behind his receptionist to say, "Hello, what can I help you with?" He promptly notarizes the form, charges us $35 and gives us directions to the nearest mailbox. Shockingly, those directions were also excellent and we're off to PetSmart. Daddy takes over and picks out assorted food and Greenies while I grab litter pan pellets & pee pads. We're out of there in record time for $100. Yikes! Anybody want a "free" cat?

 |
| Seriously, veggies without having to make a second stop at the vegetable stand! |
 |
| Hey Paul, two kinds of asparagus |
 |
| and two kinds of cauliflower! |
We attempt googling and texting friends to find best grocery store in Mayaguez (data access on my phone! Yeah!). With conflicting info and running out of steam, we opt for the Pueblo grocery next to the PetSmart. Score! They have almost everything on our list and we happily bolt back to the marina in time for showers & laundry before dark.

| Trip #1 to the boat! (I even stayed on the dock.) I keep forgetting, just because you have a car doesn't mean it magically transports itself to the boat! That's The Captain's, "You are a crazy woman" face... |

La Parguera/Bahia Montalva: After being pinned down for 2 nights (morning winds were 15-20 kts before sunrise!), we bolt around the point before sunrise. We only need to cover 5 miles to be behind the reef in protected waters for the 15 nm leg, but the winds pick up to 20 gust to 30 as a small squall passed over head. We actually consider turning back, but after consulting the weather radar app, we continue making decent head way to the short cut depicted in the VanSant book. (Ah, weather radar, how I've missed you!) Our friends on Kelly Nicole are texting current conditions from the far side of the bay. As we turn behind the second reef, the winds let up and the sky turns blue. Ahead of us, we can see the Cayo Enrique anchorage is full of sportfish on the moorings, anchored and rafted up. Yikes! The inner anchorage, closer to town, is supposed to be LOUD, and of course, we've shown up on a holiday weekend. We proceed across to the quieter Bahia Montalva and drop in front of Kelly Nicole. We neglect to notice the boat ramp off our port side. Luckily, after departing in the morning, the local jet skis and power boats disappear for the day and reappear at sunset. At least we made a nice slalom course for them.

| The Captain exploring Gilligan's Island |
Gilligan's Island/Cayo Aurora: After 3 days in La Parguera/Montalva, we have a weather window to move the 12 miles to Gilligan's Island. Yep, that's really what they call it. (Actually the locals call it Guilligans.) We depart before sunrise, pulling up anchor ahead of Kelly Nicole. We elect to go back out and around the reef instead of cutting through. As we turn back east, we see the lights of Kelly Nicole headed through the reef. They lifted anchor 15 min behind us and are suddenly in front of us. Dang it! We follow them to the Guanaco channel markers where they peel off for Ensanada while we continue across and tuck up in a nice, shallow and sheltered spot off of Gilligan's.

| Lunch at the Copa |
We dinghy around to Copa Resort for lunch. It’s a busy resort with lots of families on the beach, at the pool and taking the ferry out to the island. (A few sailboats are moored and anchored on this side and it looks pretty rolly. Yes, that’s a technical sailing term.) We enjoy a nice lunch on their patio.
The next day we explore Gilligan’s by dinghy. The beach facing the anchorage doesn’t give us access to the rest of the island (unless you want to climb around in the mangroves. That's not as easy as you would think). The east channel around to the reef side of the island is also shoaled in. We head down toward the moorings installed for powerboats and decide to tie off, because “how deep could it be?” Yeah, that was me. We didn’t have on our bathing suits but decided to wade in the 3 ft deep water to the beach, since that seemed to be where the action was. We were surprised to find a beautiful lagoon that runs through the middle of the island with sandy, mangrove beaches full of vacationers. We dinghy around the west end of the island and are able to get to the 4 ft of water between the reef and the island with a dive mooring. Tomorrow.

| San Jacinto Restaurant at the ferry dock. Cheap eats. |
Kelly Nicole arrives so we headed over to San Jacinto Restaurant (at the ferry dock) for drinks. The vegetarian coaxes an excellent meal out of the pescado (fish) restaurant. On a tiny slip of paper, they had printed, “Special. Arroz y pigeon peas. Papas fritas or plantanas. $4.99.” Score!
The day before our anticipated departure, it rains all day. I call it a snow day on a boat. No going out in the dinghy. Very little work can be done. Curl up with a cup of tea and a book.
Again, crummy weather (winds!) delays our 17 mile trip to Ponce for another day.
Stats: Total time 2:25, avg speed 5.1 kts, total mileage 12.3 nm. Motored 2 engines.

Design 2042 1 2 Tonner SHE 31B SHE 32
Back in July we posted an article about design #2042-C1, the Antilla 6.6. As we mentioned that design was based on a previously built one-off and here she is. She was built by South Hants Marine of England, and launched in 1970. The construction material is fiberglass. It's a great looking boat.
Here is the accommodations plan.
Principal Dimensions
LOA 30'-0"
LWL 22'-5"
Beam 9'-4"
Draft 5'-4"
Displacement 7,735 lbs
Ballast 3,400 lbs
Sail Area 402 sq ft
LOA 30'-0"
LWL 22'-5"
Beam 9'-4"
Draft 5'-4"
Displacement 7,735 lbs
Ballast 3,400 lbs
Sail Area 402 sq ft
The boat was then developed as a "fast cruising boat" by South Hants Marine, the SHE-31B. Here's the brochure.
I have no idea how many (if any) were sold.
The design was then further developed into a more luxurious and roomier cruising class of boats, the SHE 32. Here's the brochure.
And finally here's an article about the SHE 32.
