Brrrrrrrr! It's been one heck of a winter already. During this past December Chicago set a new snowfall record of 39 inches or so for the month and we found ourselves thigh deep in the white stuff. I went down to the boat yard to check on "Friendly Confines" and got the snow off the tarp, but not before an inch of ice formed on the cockpit sole. Everything is fine and we're now in the middle of a melt down--42 degrees and rain yesterday. With the Strictly Sail boat show here, it almost feels like spring is just around the corner. But don't bet on it.
When the boat show hits Chicago at the end of January it's almost as if someone shot off a starting gun for starting on that spring commission list. However I got an early start this year by ordering new shrouds and getting our compass reconditioned last month. I'm now ready to order a new head, new cushions, and new halyards and sheets. Hopefully by getting a lot of this stuff out of the way early it will leave me enough time to complete the spring list. But then all of you know how that goes.
Many of you have written to ask what's been going on with the forum, where's the Photo page, when are we moving, and how can I help. Well, it's been a busy winter for me so progress has been slow but we hope to move everything over to a new site within the next 30 days. Our first goal is to move and have everything functional, and then work on new features and functionality. The good news is that we do have a new domain name (URL), which we will eventually move to:
We'll send out plenty of notices when we move and provide forwarding from our old AOL site so that we don't loose touch with anybody.
Fair winds!

SPECIAL FIRE WARNING (from Wolfgang Harms): Water that seeps down from the hatches or ports inside the paneling can enter the electrical contacts and switches, mounted at the panel causing a short. I had a corrosion problem at the electrical 110 V air conditioner switch. The corrosion increased the resistance but did not break the circuit. Current was flowing and heating up the switch until a fire broke out and set the panel on fire. In minutes it was impossible to enter the cabin and the fire was invisible behind the panel. The smoke was incredible. Only by getting my scuba gear (pony bottle with regulator and mask) which I always keep on board, could I reenter the cabin, break the panel with big wire cutters and emptied 2 fire extinguishers behind the panel, the second one extinguished the fire. The damage was only $17,000. But only seconds decided on the fate of the boat, and the scuba gear. Besides keeping the places with electrical contacts dry and updating them with waterproof terminal boxes and heat shrinked connections, I also recommend to supervise any work done on the boat: I had ordered an electrician to check out the air-conditioning just before this incident and he had done it, recommending some nonsense that was not the problem.
On final side note: When the insurance heard that I was sailing the boat to a boat yard after the damage, and no navigational equipment was damaged, they said, if a problem had occurred during that trip, they would have refused to pay, since after a damage their adjuster had to first certify the damage and confirm safe action, such as transferring the boat to a yard.
ENDEAVOUR RENDEZVOUS 2001: Looking for Endeavour Owners who might like to participate in a Rendezvous this summer. At this point Aug. 2001 is the best month for the majority. Block island or Napatree is the most likely area. So far 14 Endeavour owners have expressed an interest. If you'd like to participate, please contact:

As a general note I was 'cruising' around the internet last October and came across the annual race called the "BAJA HA HA". For those of you who don't know about it, it's a 750 mile cruisers rally that starts in San Diego, and with stops along the way, ultimately finishes in Cabo San Lucas. This year 3 of our owners participated in the race: Ferdy Sant "Pipedream" an E40 (Enchilada Division), Jay & Becky Sieger aboard "Crews Inn" an E43 (Guacamole Division), and AJ Stermer on "Deliverance" an E40 (Enchilada Division).
Paul Komarow writes to thank all the Endeavour owners who helped him plan his 3 month trip to the Bahamas. They left NC on November 1st.
Bill & Barbara Lowenberg wrote to us from a tiny hamlet in Kilkenny Creek in southern GA (SMI 615) where they decided to take a 2 day break. They heard a lot of gunshots and supposes that someone was coon hunting or something. They write to say that there are lots and lots of shrimp boats in and around the waterway. They have huge booms that they can let down on each side...suspend nets from them, and scoop up shrimp and whatever else gets in the way... Everyone has been most cordial and hospitable...true southern hospitality!
Capt'n Tom Gilbert wrote to say: Hi everyone !!!! This past season we ran our E32 under the Varrazano Narrowa Bridge, past Hell Gate, and out to Long Island Sound. What began as a three hour tour, ended up being 12 days out. Our Amanda Lynne ran flawlessly, and took 26 knots and 4 ft. swells as if she could frolic with much, much more. We never got to our destination, wherever that was, but met the nicest people and had a terrific time. Now up on the hard for the cold season, we will be buying a hard dodger and a connector to the new bimini, making an atrium around the cockpit of our E32. Look for us with the mini garden on the cabin top! It's been a great asset being a part of this forum, and I sure hope that it will continue. Best of all things to you this winter season, and we'll see you on the bays and seas around New York. Wintering on Hutchinson Island, FL.
Bruce & Mona Bonbright tell us that they have spent the summer taking cruises from the Channel Islands Harbor along the central coast of California to Anacapa Island and Santa Cruz Island. For the first time in four years, we didn't have an opportunity to visit Santa Catalina Island. Anchoring has become an easy task this year as we had a vertical windlass installed by our boat yard on our Hale Moana, an Endeavour 38 center cockpit sloop. What a wonderful addition! After living aboard for nearly four years, Mona and I moved ashore to a condo near the boat. We really enjoyed our stay aboard, but the logistics were always complicated. Now at least I will be able to tackle a couple of tasks that were more difficult when living aboard such as revarnishing the forward cabin and that sort of thing. It looks like I will need to replace the old streamstay furler before we do any serious sailing next spring. Best wishes and Happy Holidays to our fellow Endeavour Yacht owners!
Henry Gild, owner of MISTRAL III a 1984 E33 in Israel, wrote last November to tell us that they just come back from a wonderful day of sailing. Although being a farmer he was also wishing for some rain but nonetheless enjoyed the sailing. Four of them sailed out to sea for about 3 miles and then north towards Asdod, all this with a smooth sea and wind of 16 Knots, absolutely perfect, and then back to Asquelon where we had a drink and late lunch on board at 4.30pm and then home to the dairy. Henry has been writing me about all the wonderful sailing this winter while I shovel the snow off my boat (g). He has plans to cruise Turkey this coming June.
Bud & Diana Berry write that "Island Time" and her crew, have just completed their annual Snowbird cruise South for the winter! They left oriental October 29 and arrived in Jensen Beach, FL 14 days later. They have updated their web page [sailislandtime.com] with the logs and pics. Also we are loading "Island Time" for a 6 week winter cruise to the Exumas right after Thanksgiving. Stay tuned for the logs and pics upon our return in January 2001.
Terry & Nansea Armitage tell us that "Jandy" their E42 is on the hard and tented for the cold winter winds in Canada. We have ground all the blisters from the hull and keel. They were not very deep but numerous. Have been working on the interior - stripping and redoing the Master Cabin, with only two coats of finish left to do in that area. Have cut out some deteriorating bulkheads (heads and engine room) due to water damage and will begin replacing them this week. Plumbing and electrical are under way as well. Jandy is sporting a new shaft due to wear on the original one. A new cutlass bearing is on order as well as a dripless stuffing box. The injectors on the engine will soon be sent away for cleaning and tuning. Hopefully we will be on our way south for cruising in late August 2001.
John & Carole Chapman report that their first year of E32 ownership on lower Chesapeake Bay has been enjoyable. The main event was greeting the Op Sail 2000 fleet coming in from Lynnhaven Roads to Norfolk Harbor. Good weather prevailed for all the weekend trips which included Gwynns Island & mouth of Piankatank R. and Back River. Reconditioning included new hatch covers & solar vent and reupholstering the cushions with "wine" colored nylon velvet thanks to Claire Balsley who did a splendid professional-quality job. She followed the E32 web site suggestions for 5" hi-density foam and Velcro instead of zippers. I also replaced the old Groco head with a new ITT Jabsco unit plus a new bilge pump, a 12V. accessory outlet in the cockpit fused for 20 Amp., plus new hoses, impellers and drive belt. I suggest others do same for continued pleasure & reliability.
John Craine writes that "Traces" our E33, Greenwich, CT, sailed on our club cruise to City Island, NY Harbor, Ellis Island, and Sheepshead Bay, over the Memorial Day weekend. During the summer when it wasn't raining, we enjoyed numerous weekends on Long Island Sound, visiting Manhasset Bay, Oyster Bay, Northport, and Pt Jefferson, NY. This fall we cruised to Essex, CT and are now wintered at Midway Marine, Hadam, CT on the Connecticut River. We have found an E35 and E32 nearby and are looking forward to joining Robert Tole from Mystic, CT, who is organizing an Endeavour Rendezvous in the Block Island, RI area next summer.
Kathy & Art Terwigler write that: It's been a while since we have heard from you. Hope you enjoyed your summer. We have not been out on the boat for almost one year. Lots of repairs going on. We found more leaks and wood rot....so you know who that goes. We also ended up taking out all the ports and Art had to rebuild the area around each of the ports and then put in the new ports. I think we are in the process of putting the boat back together again. We should be bringing her to the yard soon to have her bottom painted and new sea cocks put in to replace the old gate valves. New refrigerator should be arriving soon. I still have to finish up the canvas work. Need to do the new bimini and dodger. Only 6-1/2 months and we will be heading out for our one year trip. Time has flown and we are starting to get nervous that all will not be complete. But the major stuff should be completed and we will just have to finish the other stuff while we are underway.
Tom Gilbert wrote to me last (gasp!) September to say that he and his girlfriend took an 11 day sail to Long Island Sound. That's a 2 day trip to get there, and then two back. The rest of the time we sailed, motored, and anchored along the North Shore. Only one day did we have "the flies", and had six days of rain/drizzle. One day we went out double reefed with foulies and life jackets on just for the test and fun of it. We took one day in 8 kts of air and practiced the cruising spinnaker. I didn't know I could run 80 degrees off the wind with it, but we did, and on a broad reach, we got 6 kts of boat speed. Geez that was something!
Marge & Joe Monteiro wrote "We purchased our E32 this past spring, renamed her Galadriel (daughter didn't want another boat named after her) and spent most of the summer daysailing with a half dozen weekends aboard at the slip. We finally got away Labor Day week, spent a night at Tauplin cove on Naushon Island and the rest or the week at Marthas Vineyard. Not very ambitious but very relaxing. We've found the E32 to be very comfortable and able and will have her in the water early next spring and spend many more weekends on the islands as well as around Naragansette Bay.
Mike & Jo-Anne Gendel have been restoring SeaVousPlay, an E42 hull 145. The exterior is 99% finished, awaiting bedding of a few more items. Besides some major repairs the entire exterior was well prepped w/high build Interlux primers and painted w/ 800 series white Imrom. Just for fun I put .030 vinyl ester resin on the bottom and a layer of glass on the rudder. Drains above WL and delrin track standoffs replaced. All ports replaced with new and hatches reglazed. Mast & boom will be stripped and Awlgripped. The interior is about 75% torn down. Jo has become quite the stripper, being responsible for the renewal of the teak. Engine room was painted with bio-cided bilge paint and Sounddowned. Nearly all pumps, hoses, lights will be replaced. A new Yanmar 4JH2TE, 63 hp turbo will soon be installed (has 3" exhaust). We have the standard interior, freezer under companion ladder, galley cabinets are teak. Maybe in our lifetime will get to sail one of these Endeavours. We thank the many folks of the forum who have provided information. Truly invaluable. And we especially thank Jerry Bernath for letting us come visit BIBI. He is a special person. We have several slips at our house and invite forum members coming near Baltimore to drop in.
Wofgang Harms aboard SeaLife (Endeavour 43 Ketch) sailed from the Chesapeake Bay to Treasure Cay, Abacos, Bahamas last November. On the way we participated in the shark dive at Walker's Cay. Took a lot of pictures. This is the world's only shark dive where divers swim free with the sharks. Absolutely outstanding experience. Will stay in the Abacos.
Buzz & Anna Segura said "Good to hear you have not frozen to death way up north! After many months and a lot of headaches "Hurricane" Perkings is back in the engine room. Finally now that it is time to close up the gapping hole in her port side, the weather turns bad (not suitable for laying up the hull anyway) :-( Looking forward to getting her afloat after almost two years on the hard ! Should be careening around Pensacola Bay before spring! Until then, Patience and persistence.....and cash rules the day.
Sam Woolsey aboard "Solveig" an E40, left St. Louis on 4 November and is enroute from St. Louis down the Mississippi to New Orleans, LA, thence to Punta Gorda, FL, where a friend has a place with a dock. Who knows after that. Those who are interested can follow the trip on Solveig's Web Site at http://home.earthlink.net/~samwoolsey
Stuart Phillips and Stargazer, a 1978 Endeavour 43, skippered by the father and son team of Stuart and Steven Phillips took first place in the nonspinnaker fleet of the Year 2000 Lake Pontchartrain Racing Circuit. This is the premier race of the season for the New Orleans area. It is a five race series. This year it was sailed in light weather the last weekend of October and the first weekend of November. Way to go guys!
Ed Piriczky says thank you for the GREAT job you are doing with the forum. It keeps our family in touch. Feb. 2001 will mark 4 yrs since I started the project of completely rebuilding a sunken, battered hulk of our E42 "SUGAR". It has been slow, but there is a bright glaring light at the end of the tunnel. I awlgripped the hull last month and am working tirelessly to do the deck. The interior is 75% finished. The Perkins is sitting in the salon waiting to be installed (I completely rebuilt it) Looks like with a little luck we might launch this spring. I have done a lot of modifications to this boat that will hopefully make her a better, more seaworthy, and safer. Smooth sailing and GOD bless you all.
Billy Vance & Julie Roberts report that they're moving right along on TENACITY, their E32. We have just finished repairing and refinishing all of the teak inside and out, we also refinished the hatches, and replaced the Lexan. The new teak floor looks wonderful, as does the rest of the interior. We can't wait to send you some pics, so they can be posted on the home page. We are very excited with the results so far. Also since we are rebuilding the entire boat from the hull up, I will be happy to pass on whatever info may be helpful to the rest of the gang. To date we have replaced; all electrical, all mechanical, all standing and running rigging, all the interior including the upholstered ceiling, and last but not least a new teak floor. All we have left is the top side, and a new bimini, and dodger. And we hope to spend Christmas on our finished and ready to sail. Luck to all, and don't lose sight of the Dream.
Jan & Wayne Turk tell us that they have taken approx. a 3 month trip the past two years to the Bahamas on our E-40 "Sea Ya." We plan this year to explore the Fla Keys & Tortugas which we have rushed past getting to the Bahamas on our other cruises. We have a webpage http://www.janwayne.com which still has the pictures & ships logs from this past years trip & I intend to leave them till I begin our next long trip this spring.
LIKE A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
by Wayne Turk S/V SeaYa
It's Sunday, August 20, 2000, & we have just returned home from a visit with our daughter & her family in Ft Walton. On the answering machine is a message that says 'we were recently in the Bahamas & may have found something that belongs to you.' I hastily called the number but was told the person I needed to talk to would not be back until late tonight. I opted to call back in the morning.
We also had returned from a trip on our sailboat to the Southern Bahamas in mid June. We had traveled all the way to the Southern Bahamas & spent about 2 weeks in Georgetown some 700 miles from here. Pam & Claude, friends of ours here in Panama City flew down & spent one of those weeks with us. While there we decided that we would get to snorkel on a lot more spots if we had a little boat to zip around the bay with rather than our 40' Sailboat which could not get into the shallows. Claude & I rented one & we made a day of it. We picked up Jan & Pam & also went by & picked up Joe & Diane, a couple who we had met & cruised with for the last couple of months in the Bahamas.
After going to snorkel several spots on the North end of Elizabeth Harbor we went to a popular spot called 'Hamburger Beach' for lunch. I had been very careful to keep my money dry by putting my money clip containing a hundred dollars or so & some of our boat cards in a zip-loc sandwich bag. When I got into the water the first time I realized I had forgotten to leave my Black Hills Gold Ring (a gift from my wife several years ago) at the Big boat. I promptly added it to the bag for fear it might slip off my finger while snorkeling. I kept the bag in a compartment on the little boat which was relatively dry but when you are in and out of the water you never have a dry pocket when you need to take your money ashore. After returning to the boat from lunch at Hamburger Beach I forgot to take the bag out of my pocket & put it back in the compartment. We had a great afternoon snorkeling the whole south end of Elizabeth Harbor in the crystal clear water finding lots of beautiful conch & enjoying the underwater world. Late that afternoon we were back at the sailboat showering & getting ready to go out to eat when I started looking for my money bag. It didn't take long to realize what had apparently happened. I was sick.... There wasn't much money involved but the ring had become my favorite, not to mention is was a gift & the money clip was one that I had purchased In Mexico while we were attending a nearby Troy State football game in McAllen Texas some 16 years ago. It had a special meaning as my son, Mike was the quarterback & they beat North Dakota State for the Division 2 National Championship that night.
After a few minutes of moaning over the loss I realized that the possibility of finding it in the several square miles of water we had explored would be slim to none. Also the tides down there run 4 to 5 knots & that can move things around quickly. I accepted the fact that they were gone & the only possible hope was if they would be found by an honest person & the print would still be legible on the boat cards when the bag was found. It was the low point of the trip. The money was no big deal but I felt I had left part of me in Georgetown.
After returning to Panama City we told some of our friends about losing it & that I still had a glimmer of hope since the cards were in the bag. They very nicely nodded their heads but I'm sure were saying to themselves -- Right! That will happen....
In my mind I guess I was too, but now here is this call & something has been found! On Tuesday morning I called Mary Courver & said 'I hope you found what I think you did.' She said 'and what is that.' A ring, money clip with cards & money. Yes, she said and Jan & I almost went ballistic!
Their daughter Melanie had found the bag & its contents all the way across the bay near the old sunken Mailboat named 'Exuma Pride' just off Crab Cay some 3 or 4 miles from the closest we could have come to there on our snorkeling adventure.
They just moved to Ft Walton from Jacksonville in the last few weeks & although they found it in late May, knowing they would be coming near here Melanie wanted to surprise me & give it to me herself. I'm so happy to have that part of me back from a loss some 700 miles away in the little Islands of the Bahamas. When we picked up the things the family would not accept a reward of any kind. Call it luck, honest people, maybe all of the above. I'm just fortunate to have come in contact with such fine people that would go to this trouble for me! This definitely renews my faith in mankind!
POUR ANOTHER ROUND!
If lawyers can be disbarred
and clergymen defrocked,
doesn't it follow that...
electricians can be delighted,
musicians denoted,
cowboys deranged,
models deposed,
laundry workers could decrease,
eventually becoming depressed and depleted,
bedmakers would be debunked,
baseball players will be debased,
landscapers will be deflowered,
bulldozer operators will be degraded,
organ donors will be delivered,
software engineers will be detested,
garment workers will be debriefed,
and song writers will eventually decompose.
...On a more positive note,
politicians could be devoted.
Does this mean sailors would be dismasted?

BOOKS & THINGS
There's a new book titled Sailing to Hemingway's Cuba. Not only should it be of interest to most of you real and virtual cruisers, but it was written by one of our own! David Schaefer, owner of "Dream Weaver" a 1977 E32 hull #211, recently published the book (Sheridan House, October 2000) about sailing an E32 from Lake Champlain, Vermont to Havana, Cuba to track old Hemingway haunts in Key West and Cuba. Last we heard David was residing on the hard at Indiantown Marina in central Florida.
