On average, one cruising yacht a month has been driving up onto Round Reef. Several have been lost, and all suffered damage. Just since Thanksgiving 2009, two sailboats have gone hard aground. Please study the chart before entering the harbor! [Editor’s note: Nancy and Simon Scott’s Cruising Guide to the Virgin Islands 2009-2011 has a large aerial photo on page 262 that clear- ly shows the location of Round Reef. Space does not permit its reproduction here.] Round Reef is situated right in the middle of what one would think is the channel. To be on the safe side, I recommend entering the harbor on the left, following the green buoys along the peninsula straight in. There is a red-over-green buoy that marks the northeast corner of Round Reef. It is a dual channel marker. Apparently, some sailors assume you can go either side of it. DON’T! It is marking the straight-in channel (left channel) and also the WAPA channel that actually is a 90-degree right turn down along the reef going west. I have been using the channel for many years and I still get the willies coming in. It can be very confusing, as there are buoys everywhere. Also, St. Croix’s Department of Planning and Natural Resources (DPNR) has installed The PAYS patrol boat, a boost to yacht security in Portsmouth, Dominica 20 moorings in Gallows Bay for transient yachts. They cost US$2.00 per foot per month and are well made. You can call DPNR at (340) 244-9066. Dominica.

  • Article Mercury
    Article du journal The Mercury Samedi 21 décembre 1968 HOBART FRENCH SOLO YACHTSMAN OFF BRUNY IS Mail from lone sailor LONE round-the-world sailor Bernard Moitessier made his first contact with teh outside world for at least eight weeks when he signalled a fisherman in Tasmanian waters on Wednesday morning. Moitessier (43), a Frenchman, was last reported just south of Capetown in his 42ft steel ketch Joshua. News of his contact with Snug fisherman Varley Wisby became known yesterday. Wisby, who was out fishing on Wednesday morning with his sons, Ross(20) and Robin(17) reported: • he spotted Moitessier's yacht about half way between Cape Bruny Light and Actaeon Island, about 50 miles south west of Hobart. • Moitessier signaled him to within about 12ft and threw him a “mail-box”. • The Frenchman asked about the weather, enjoyed a chat, and went on his way. Messages delivered Moitessier is chasing hard after Britain's Robin Knox-Johnston, leader of the $10,714 “Sunday Times” single-handed round-the- world yacht race. He has not been allowed to take on fuel, food or water since he left Plymouth four months ago. Yesterday, when Wisby delivered Moitessier's mail and messages to the Commodore of Tasmania (Mr J.M.Hickman) he said the yachtsman “looked in high spirits and good health”. Mr Wisby (40) was on a six-day fishing trip in his 42 ft fishing boat, Spring Bay. “It was about 6 am.”, he said. “We were about four or five miles away when we sighted the yacht. “The yacht looked as though it had stopped and was signaling to us with an aldis lamp.” he said.

    The Newsletter of the Sailing Club of Washington March 2008 Re-Up Brunch Marks Beginning of SCOW Sailing Class Registration Rub-Off-the-Rust, Train-the-Trainers Sessions Set for Late March By Mike Rothenberg 2008 SCOW Training Director The Club’s Re-Up Brunch on Sunday, March 16 marks opening day for registration for SCOW sailing classes. Be sure to attend and get there early, if you want to prepare to become a Flying Scot or Cruiser Skipper by attending the first classes, which begin in April, so you can maximize your enjoyment as a skipper for Spring, Summer and Fall of 2008. The slots for all classes go fast. But, they go even faster for the April Basic Sailing and Cruiser classes. Other popular classes are the Spinnaker and Capsize courses, and don’t forget our Intermediate sailing class, which is returning to an older more inclusive format this year. In the recent past, many of the registrants for the Intermediate Class were Scot skippers, but the class is also for Cruiser skippers as well as crew for both the club’s daysailers and keelboats. Last year the class was limited to 12, but this year capacity will be 18-24 students, depending on the mix of Scot and Cruiser sailors. To see the latest schedule of classes in advance of the Re-Up Brunch, see the SCOW calendar of events online at http://www.scow.org/calendar.html Save Some Money as a Class Coordinator If you’re planning to sign up for a Basic Sailing Class or Cruiser Class and would like to save some money, the Club offers a $50 discount for one lucky person in each class, if they sign up to be the Class Coordinator.

Justice Mool Chand Garg directed AIIMS to furnish an affidavit by Wednesday explaining how the institute filled up all six seats for MS (Surgery). ‘‘Clarify as to whether they (candidates) have qualified and taken seats elsewhere in MS (Surgery),’’ Justice Garg said. The court was hearing a petition filed by Varun Kumar Aggarwal alleging AIIMS failed to follow the procedure while filling up seats for MS (Surgery).

    Moitessier, le long sillage d’un homme libre Jean-Michel Barrault Moitessier, le long sillage d’un homme libre Flammarion © Flammarion, Paris, 2013 87, quai Panhard-et-Levassor 75647 Paris Cedex 13 Tous droits réservés 978-2-0813-4341-2 Préface à la nouvelle édition Le 16 juin 1994 mourait Bernard Moitessier. Vingt ans après sa disparition, le long sillage de cet homme libre continue d’exercer une importante influence. Les raisons en sont multiples. J’ai vécu avec Bernard trente-six ans d’une profonde amitié, ai entretenu avec lui une abondante correspondance illustrée par une bonne centaine de lettres, la plupart de plusieurs pages. Un détail amusant : la première page est écrite dans le sens normal de la page, la seconde transversalement, dans la largeur. Nombre de ces missives ont trait à l’écriture d’un livre, à son édition, à la construction d’un nouveau bateau, ce qui, dès son arrivée en France, est son unique obsession : Marseille, 28.6.1960 Knocker [architecte amateur talentueux] aura terminé le plan de Maïté [qui s’appellera finalement Joshua] en décembre ou janvier. À partir de là, je devrai attaquer la construction sans complexe. Mon rêve serait de construire à Bendor, chez Ricard. Quelques-unes de ces lettres seront fort courtes, comme celle qu’il m’envoie juste avant d’appareiller 7 Moitessier, le long sillage d’un homme libre pour la longue route, avec une double préoccupation d’altruisme et de sens marin : Plymouth, 20.8 Mon cher Jean-Michel, Merci pour ta bonne lettre pleine de sagesse et d’amitié.
