Bermuda Race Update
The start is tomorrow, June 20'th, with 165 boats entered in the 49'th sprint to Bermuda.
The starting line will be off Castle Hill, in the mouth of Narragansett Bay.
Organized by the Cruising Club of America and the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, the 635-mile Newport Bermuda Race is sailed almost entirely out of sight of land and across the Gulf Stream. Explains race chairman Fred Deichmann, "We evaluate the crew and inspect the boat because, as the Notice of Race states, "The Newport Bermuda Race is not a race for novices.""

The 4'th of July is only TWO weeks away - Have you made your plans?
Are you planning to stay local? Heading  out to watch the fireworks or staying at the dock? Planning a mini-cruise? Now is the time to make sure your plans and the boat are shipshape. Check your running lights and make sure there are batteries in the flashlights. Are your flares current? Remember it's illegal to run with docking lights, spotlights or fishing lights on constantly. Plan for a designated captain who will run the boat while the crew indulges a wee bit. The Police & Coast Guard are performing random safety checks. Remember you'll be coming back in on a falling tide! Firework Schedule

The "WALK" Train Bridge OPENED!
Last Saturday morning a flotilla of boats that had been "trapped" up the Norwalk River escaped!
With an army of almost 50 engineers, mechanics, electricians and laborers, the bridge (which was scheduled to open at 9:00 am), opened at 10:00 am for 30 minutes to allow the small armada passage. The bridge will not likely open for the next three weeks as engineers and consultants troubleshoot the immediate mechanical problems. Discussions regarding a replacement bridge (and funding) have begun in Hartford and Washington.  For More Pictures, Click HERE For the Video, Click HERE (I'm a Star!)

Three Major Responsibilities of Every Boater
- Practice good seamanship.
It is the responsibility of every boat or PWC operator to take all necessary action to avoid a collision, taking into account the weather, vessel traffic, and limits of other vessels. Such action should be taken in ample time to avoid a collision and at a safe distance from other vessels. Be responsible for the safety of your crew and vessel. - Keep a proper lookout.
Failing to keep a sharp lookout is the most common cause of collisions. Every operator must keep a proper lookout, using both sight and hearing, at all times. Watch and listen for other vessels, radio communications, navigational hazards, and others involved in water activities. - Maintain a safe speed.
Safe speed is the speed that ensures you will have ample time to avoid a collision and can stop within an appropriate distance. Safe speed will vary depending on conditions such as wind, water conditions, navigational hazards, visibility, surrounding vessel traffic density, and the maneuverability of your boat or PWC. Always reduce speed and navigate with extreme caution at night and when visibility is restricted.
