Are we Really in the "Fall Boating Season" ???
Suddenly it's back to school, the long Labor Day weekend, noticing that the tents are going up for Norwalk's Oyster Festival, Boat Show ads and advanced ticket sale notices. During the day the weather still is saying "summer", but there is a subtle coolness at night and it's getting darker much earlier... Yikes, it must be true! Enjoy it while you can!
Hint: Starting this weekend, most popular harbors and anchorages are much less crowded.

The Vineyard Race is This Weekend
Come out and watch the start - It's Impressive!
The Vineyard Race, Sponsored by Stamford Yacht Club, is a classic American yachting event: a 238-mile course stretching from Shippan Point, through the swirling currents of the Race or Plum Gut, past Block Island, and on to the light tower at the entrance to Buzzard's Bay, to return leaving Block Island to starboard en route to the finish in Stamford Harbor. Begun in 1932, it has attracted the finest sailors and fastest boats for nearly 80 years, and its intricacies and challenges bring them back time after time. Those who are successful nearly always credit local knowledge of these tricky waters and a good deal of luck.
The first start is at 12:00 noon on Friday off Shippan Point.

Safe Boating at Night...Proper Lights
It's getting dark earlier and you may find yourself coming home after dark. Boating at night can be very enjoyable but also can be very dangerous. Proper lighting on your boat, as well as being able to identify the direction other boats are traveling is critical.
Night navigation requires skill and  concentration. Familiar objects in daylight look entirely different at night. Reflections in the windshield can be confusing. Night vision can drastically change by bridge and city lights, as well as other boaters who are careless with spot or docking lights.
Here are a few tips to remember regarding navigational lights while boating at night:- Know the types of lights you'll see - red, green and white and what they mean.
- Make sure your running lights are operating and are not blocked from another mariner's view.
- A spotlight should only be used for docking or finding a buoy. NOTE: The Coast Guard prohibits docking lights /spotlights being on constantly while under way.
- Dim the backlighting on your electronics and boats gauges; turn off cabin lights or use red lighting.
- Assume that other boaters do not see your running lights.
- As the old saying goes, "When two lights you see ahead, turn your helm and show your red"...helps avoid potential collisions at night.
