For the Staten Island community—one of the hardest hit in Superstorm Sandy—recovery comes in small steps. The island’s marine sector has fared no differently. After Folly, a 39-foot aluminum pilothouse sloop owned by John and Kerry Pears, was flung two boatyards away, a recovery crane dismasted it during lifting. Amid the confusion, the couple filed this report about the island’s state of affairs since the storm struck the U.S. East Coast on October 29, 2012.
John and Kerry Pears, whose boat, Folly, was docked at Great Kills harbor, provide this look at the clean-up situation on Staten Island, New York, one month later. (Read Post-Sandy: Update from the Staten Island Waterfront)
Due to a medical emergency, Bela Bartok, a Vindo 40, was abandoned during last summer’s Singlehanded TransPac, but quick thinking, excellent seamanship, a Monitor windvane, and a lot of luck came together to save the boat.
After several overnight bands of squally rainclouds, with light winds in between, we’ve finally settled into a nice, sunny day with some white clouds around and fairly consistent good wind from the north.
Thinking about racing to Bermuda next summer? Check out one of the Marion-Bermuda Race information sessions.
Here’s a way to give back to those who risk their lives saving others at sea.
Four skippers are out of the running six days into this race around the world.

San Diego’s history in sailing, particularly the America’s Cup, is being honored in a new display on the lower floor of the San Diego Hall of Champions in Balboa Park.
