Cape Cod Classic: The George Williams Skiff
Mention the term “skiff” to anyone who has lived around Woods Hole and they will immediately picture a George Williams skiff, a total old school classic and great for a multitude of purposes. The typical George Williams skiff is around 17 feet in length and made of painted pine plywood.… SEE MORE
False Albacore Have Arrived In Rhode Island
I had been hearing rumors about false albacore here and there along the Rhode Island coastline, but I hadn't actually seen one until Sunday, September 9. My brother Steve and I went out in his boat in some big rollers and found good numbers of false albacore tearing up the… SEE MORE
Penobscot Bay Silhouette
The Fox Island Thorofare is always dependable for being fog-free, even when the rest of Penobscot Bay is socked in. Once you leave the Thorofare, on the other hand, it's another story, as I and this schooner discovered as we crossed paths between North Haven and Camden. SEE MORE

Labor Day on Penobscot Bay
For Maine boaters, Labor Day is always a special holiday, as it represents not, we hope, the end of the sailing season, but nonetheless a reminder that the days are getting shorter and we must make the most of every hour afloat that we can. I was lucky enough to… SEE MORE
For Keeper Bass and Blues, Block Island Is the Best Bet
