EDITORIAL by Brise-Galets
I
t all started in 1992, when
being more aware than ever
that the number one value of
the Brotherhood of the Coast was
practicing solidarity among
seafarers and that it required a
higher level of communication to
become reality. At first all I did
was to use the simplest of tools,
which was to group 18 addresses
on my AOL address book. Then
with the advice and help from
brother Henri Schongut from
Belgium, I moved to a list server
wh i c h wa s s u b s e q u e n t l y
purchased by Yahoo. That
became up to now the home of
the Boclist. By 2014, the number
of addresses had grown to more
than 2,600 from the original 18.
Unfortunately, changes made by
Yahoo have made it impossible
for me to maintain the boclist the
way I used to. Aware of the
challenges that I wo uld
necessarily have to confront, I
moved the boclist to a new home.
Go to http://clients.all-inweb.fr/lesfreresdelacote and use
your email address (the one that
was yours on the boclist). If you
have forgotten your password
just click on "Forgot ?" and the
system. will email you the
password. Please note that you
can update your own contact
details and insert your photo.
Ideally, as long as all brothers are
interested in having an updated
and accurate boclist, the boclist
could be continuously updated by
its members.
Still, if you do not receive
Tortuga Post, it means that for
some reason your address has not
been transferred to the new
system, let it be known to
[email protected] giving
your first name, family name and
the name of your table. This new
system has potentially all the
features that would make it
possible for it to become a
"WORLDWIDE ROSTER". The
system is very flexible and if you
want to suggest improvements or
changes, please let me know.

only goal" (Edward Deming)
T
out a commencé en 1992
quand j'ai pris vraiment
conscience que la principale valeur pour les Frères de la
Côte était la pratique de la solidarité entre gens de mer qui impliquait un niveau plus élevé de
communication. Au départ, je me
suis contenté d'utiliser le plus
simple des outils consistant à
employer la messagerie de mon
email AOL en regroupant les 18
adresses que j'avais à l'époque.
Ensuite avec l'aide et les conseils
du frère Henri Schongut de Belgique, je suis passé à l'utilisation
d'un "serveur de listes" peu après
racheté par Yahoo et qui est resté
jusqu'à récemment l'hébergeur
de la Boclist. Entre temps le
nombre d'adresses de la liste est
passé à plus de 2'600.
Malheureusement, sans préavis,
Yahoo a récemment introduit des
changements dans son "modus
operandi" qui ont rendu impossible de garder la liste à jour
comme j'avais l'habitude de le
faire. Très conscient des difficultés qui ne manqueraient pas
de se manifester en cas de changement, j'ai déplacé la liste vers
un nouvel hébergeur. Allez à
"http://clients.all-in-web.fr/ lesfreresdelacote" et utilisez
l'adresse eMail sous laquelle
vous étiez inscrits sur la Boclist.
Si vous avez oublié le mot de
passe qui vous a été envoyé lors
de la mise en route du nouveau
système, cliquez sur "forgot?" et
un mot de passe vous sera envoyé
à nouveau par le système. Vous
pouvez à tout moment mettre à
jour votre propre fiche et y insérer votre photo. Dans l'idéal et
dans la mesure où les Frères sont
désireux de disposer d'une liste
exacte et à jour, la Boclist pourrait être en permanence tenue à
jour par ses membres.

T
utto è iniziato nel 1992 ,
q u a nd o f u m mo p iù
consapevoli che mai che il
valo r e nu mer o uno d ella
Fratellanza della Costa era
praticare la solidarietà tra
marittimi e questo, per diventare
realtà, richiedeva un più alto
livello di comunicazione. In un
primo momento tutto quello che
ho fatto fu quello di utilizzare gli
strumenti più semplici che era
raggruppare 18 indirizzi sulla mia
rubrica di AOL libro. Poi con il
consiglio e l'aiuto del fratello
Henri Schongut dal Belgio , mi
sono trasferito su un server-list
che è stato successivamente
acquistato da Yahoo . che divenne
fino ad ora la casa del Boclist .
Entro il 2014 , il numero di
indirizzi era cresciuto a più di
2.600 dagli originali 18 .
Purtroppo, le modifiche apportate
dalla Yahoo ha reso impossibile
per me mantenere la boclist come
facevo prima. Consapevole della
sfide che avrei devuto
necessariamente affrontare , ho
spostato la boclist in una nuova
casa Vai a http://clients.all-inweb

indirizzo email (quello che era tuo
sulla boclist). Se si hai dimenticato
la tua password basta cliccare su "

con la ayuda y los consejos del
hermano Henri Schongut de

crecido a más de 2,600 desde las

Desafortunadamente, los cambios
realizados por Yahoo han hecho

Kent Invicta Table
Grand Boucan
Kent Invicta is a small Table
which has acquired a fine
reputation for putting on a great
party. Their Grand Boucan not
only lived up to expectations, it
exceeded even their high standard
of excellence.
Fifty Brothers & their Shipmates
arrived at the Stade Court Hotel in
the small Kent town of Hythe all
set for weekend of bawdy pirate
fun! What was remarkable was
the fact that the event had attracted
no less than eighteen overseas
visitors: five from Guernsey, five
from Poland, four from the
Nederlands, two from Switzerland
and two from Belgium. There was
representation from the British
Tables of Solent, Dorset and East
Anglia.
The pirates assembled for an
excellent dinner and a warm
welcome from Grand Frère Barry
Hill (Peeler)
After dinner the Kent Invicta
Choir gave a “unique” rendition of
“Talk like a Pirate” and other well
known Sea Shanties. It was a
hilarious performance and was
rewarded with tumultuo us
applause.
THE TORTUGA POST
Those with strong constitutions
continued the singing in the bar,
accompanied by an extremely
versatile and accommodating
keyboard player.
There was an early start the next
morning as we boarded the coach
to take us to the small, but
fascinating, Dover Museum of
Transport.
Afterwards we had a tour of Dover
in a veteran double-decker London
Bus, visiting the town highlights
including Dover Castle which had
played such a vital role in the
defence of the realm over the
centuries by commanding the
Straits of Dover.
After a fine buffet lunch and warm
hospitality in The Royal Cinque
Ports Yacht Club, by courtesy of
the Commodore, we boarded the
coach and headed off to
Canterbury. Here, in the famous
medieval cathedral, is the shrine of
Saint Thomas Becket, who, as the
Archbishop of Canterbury in the
reign of Henry II, was murdered
by the king’s barons before the
altar in his own cathedral.
Nearby the cathedral we visited a
museum trail dramatically
depicting some of Chaucer’s
famous “Canterbury Tales”. We
followed the pilgims’ journey as
they walked from London to
Canterbury in medieval times,
through a series of tableaux
narrating “The Miller’s Tale”, the
“Wife of Bath’s Tale”, the
“Knight’s Tale” and “The Monk’s
Tale”.
We were ‘forced to eat, - yet
again’, this time in the Abode
Hotel where tea and warm scones
were served with cream and jam.
There was barely time to shower
and change ready for the formal
part of the Boucan in the Stade
Court Hotel.
After another excellent dinner, the
visitors presented gifts to Kent
Invicta Table and Grand Frère
Peeler enrolled a new Engagée,
Ian Wilkinson (The Organ
Grinder) This was to be Barry’s
penultimate ceremonial duty as
Grand Frère before finally handing
over the office to Tony
Bodycombe (Stemson).
Fine tributes were paid to the
retiring Grand Frère and warm
words of confidence and welcome
were expressed to the new Grand
Frère, Stemson.
Of course, there were plenty of
OOOooorrzzaa’s!, but one, which
was rendered in the English
language, just did not sound right.
It sounds much better in Spanish!
It was not long before the singing
began again in earnest.
It was a fitting way to conclude a
wonderful weekend programme
full of interest and great fun. Great
credit goes to the team of
organisers from Kent Invicta
Table. Their fine reputation
enhanced even more!

in the sun and sing?” - William

las gestiones para aventurarnos en
esta visita.
A las 7:45 hrs. el piquete de la
Nao Montevideo inicia su travesía
camino al Este recorriendo así 140
KM. que nos separaban de nuestro
destino.
Con un total de 24 hermanos, 5
cautivas, 1 escualo y 1 sirenita,
nos embarcamos en el Barco
Mariana, que nos traslado al lugar
en donde se fondeaba la
Esmeralda.
A nuestra llegada y pese a su
agitada agenda el Capital de Navío
y Comandante del Buque Juan De
La Maza, nos dio la bienvenida a
bordo, dándonos una reseña de las
actividades y programación que
tenían dispuestos para nuestro
se extendió por un lapso de 2
horas y medias, recorriendo gran
parte de B.E., finalizando con una
pequeño refrigerio preparado para
la ocasión.
Posteriormente nos dispusimos a
desembarcar del buque para volver
a puerto, en donde con anterior
coordinación los hermanos nos
trasladamos a un Zafarrancho de
camaradería con quienes habíamos
compartido de la experiencia.
Para esto se encomendó al
Hermano Javier Cantera “Txavi”
quien facilito la barbacoa de su
guarida y quien además se encargo
de preparar los condumios para la
tripulación que llegaba hambrienta
y sedienta a esa altura de la
jornada.
En el mismo se fomento la
amistad y fraternidad entre los
hermanos de todas las naos
compartiendo narraciones sobre la
experiencia vivida durante esta
hermosa travesía.
Esta actividad contó en todo
momento con el apoyo de nuestro
Capitán Nacional Gonzalo Dupont
Abo “Jambo”.
Dentro de las tareas
encomendadas envié botellas a mi
colega Chileno Mario Cerpa
“Tiburón Blanco”, para que nos
oficiara de contacto con la
tripulación de la Dama Blanca, las
cuales dieron sus frutos siendo
posible establecer comunicación
directa con el buque a través del
Oficial de Operaciones Capitán de
Corbeta Patricio Acevedo Donoso.
Acordamos que la visita se
realizaría el día Sábado 22 del
segundo mes del año en curso a
las once horas, en la bahía de
piquete durante nuestra estadía en
el buque, posteriormente se
hicieron entrega de diversos
presentes por parte del Capitán de

The Lehmkuhl's first stop was
Norfolk, Virginia. Usually her
schedule does not allow for the
Chesapeake Bay Brothers and
Captives to share an evening with
our four Norwegian Brothers away
from the ship. Fortunately this
time was different and on
November 8th, we quickly
arranged for an emergency party
for Brothers Marc Seidl, David
Seidl, Per Langhelle, and Lasse
Bergh.

Earlier that week, Brother Jean
Pommeret, from the Table of
Gascogne, France had sailed his
45’ aluminum sloop into Rebel
Marina on his way south. After a
couple of evenings of drinking
copious amounts of rhum, we
convinced Jean Pommeret to stay
for the party. You can imagine
this perfect Brotherhood storm
developing and we needed the
perfect setting. John & Susan
Williams stepped up and offered
their home for the evening of food
and revelry.
Susan’s famous
chicken pot pie was a big hit as
well as were all of the side dishes
and desserts prepared by our
captives.
THE TORTUGA POST
It was an amazing site to see the
inside works of the world’s largest
thr ee- mas ted b ar q ue fr o m
Norway. And what a wonderful
way to meet and host Brothers
from all over the world!
For the US Chesapeake Brothers,
visiting Statsraad Lehmkuhl is
always a greatly anticipated
annual event. In years past,
Brothers have been invited to sail
on-board Statsraad Lehmkulh for
their transit up the Chesapeake
Bay from Norfolk to Baltimore as
well as visits while in Baltimore.
In addition to National Captain
Charles Hankins (Oso) and his
Captive Marcia, four Brothers and
Mates from the Solomons Island
Table plus one prospective
Brother guest and his wife, and
four Brothers and Mates from the
Sailing Capital Annapolis Table
visited the Lehmkuhl.
They were hosted by Commander
and Norwegian Brother Lasse
and Chief Engineer Per Langhelle.
Brother Lasse met them at the
Eastport Yacht Club (Annapolis)
for a drink on the evening of 13
November and we all reassembled
14 November on-board Statsraad
Lehmkuhl moored at the Inner
Harbor, Baltimore for their
Annual Diplomatic Reception
hosted by the Norwegian Defense
Attache. Many of the guests were
from the US State Department as
well as many of the foreign
Defense Attaches assigned to
posts in Washington, DC. There
was a contingent from the U.S.
Naval Academy also.
Guests were treated to a
sumptuous meal of Norwegian
fare and a performance of sea
chanteys by the embarked
Norwegian Cadets. We were able
to meet several of the principals of
the Baltimore City host, Sail
Baltimore. All in all, it was a great
evening of International
Brotherhood.
Charles Hankins, US NC, Mattigan
McMichael, Annapolis Table and John
Craighill, Salomon Isl. Table Captain
We washed it all down with wine
and beer as we prepared for the
inevitable broadsides with rhum.
A fun time was had by all as
Brothers from three nations
bonded in friendship.
Normally, that would be the end to
the story as we delivered our
Viking Brothers safely back to
their ship. But since Michele and
Scott Ripley had moved Orza to a
marina within crawling distance of
the Statsraad, Per and Lasse were
invited down for “one more
drink.” I’m not sure when Per
went back to the ship, but Lasse
never made it as he crashed in one
of Orza's berths. It was a great
Brotherhood evening with us all
moving slowly the next morning.
However, we did manage to
muster up enough energy for a
grand tour of the STATSRAAD
LEHMKUHL with Per, who
showed us above and below the
decks, including the engine room.
HiisBurgh, Norwegian Navy from
the Norwegian Naval Academy
and assigned to Statsraad
Lehmkuhl as Norwegian Navy

officers and crew of Statsraad
Lehmkuhl were gracious hosts and
welcomed US Brothers aboard as
honored guests. Other Statsraad
Lehmkuhl crew brothers who were
not present for the visit to
Baltimore are Captain Marcus
Seidl, First Officer David Seidl
The US Brotherhood was honored
to visit with our Norwegian

normalement de 8 à 16, selon les besoins.
3. La rubrique "Nouvelles nationales" est alimentée par les
Confréries nationales elles-mêmes. Les textes seront transmis exclusivement par le Capitaine national ou la Vigie
internationale. TTP, qui depuis 20 ans est l'organe officiel
de la Confrérie, n'accepte donc pas les articles en provenance d'autres sources.
4. Les nouvelles nationales doivent être rédigées dans l'une
des 4 langues officielles de la Confrérie (Espagnol, Italien,
Anglais et Français). Elles ne sont ni traduites ni réécrites
par la rédaction. Seules les erreurs élémentaires seront corrigées. En principe, l'espace accordé à chaque confrérie ne
doit pas excéder une page (ou 4000 signes espaces compris
et sans photo). Contrairement aux nouvelles nationales, les
éditoriaux et les communications de Secoin sont en revanche traduits.
5. Toutes nos règles ont cependant connu des exceptions
dans le passé, et elles en connaîtront sans doute encore dans
le futur. OOOOOrza!
Reminder of a Few Rules
1.TTP is published 4 times a year. Deadlines (which must
be respected) for submitting articles are: March 15, June
15, September 15 and December 1. Special issues are
published on the occasion of major international events.
2.TTP is sent to all Brothers appearing on the BocList in
pdf format for ease of printing, but not necessarily
intended to be read on the screen. TTP always has an even
number of pages, typically 8 to 16, as is required.
3.The feature "National News" is supplied by the national
fraternities themselves. The texts will be forwarded
exclusively by the National Captain or the International
Vigie. TTP, which for 20 years has been the official voice
of the Brotherhood, does not accept articles from other
sources.
4.National news should be submitted in one of the four
official languages of the Brotherhood (Spanish, Italian,
English and French). They are not translated or rewritten
by the editor. Only elementary mistakes will be corrected.
In principle, the space given to each fraternity should not
exceed one page (or 4,000 characters including spaces and
without photo). Unlike national news, editorials and
communications from Secoin are translated.
5.All our rules have known exceptions in the past, and
shall, no doubt, know still more in the future. OOOOOrza!
1. TTP viene pubblicato quattro volte all'anno . Scadenze
(che devono essere rispettate ) per la presentazione degli
articoli sono : 15 Marzo , 15 giugno , 15 settembre e 1 °
dicembre. Un’edizione speciale viene pubblicata in
occasione di importanti eventi internazionali .
2. TTP viene inviato a tutti i Fratelli che compaiono sul
BocList in formato pdf per la facilità di stampa , ma non
necessariamente destinati ad essere letti sullo schermo .
TTP ha sempre un numero di pagine , tipicamente 8 a 16 ,
come richiesto .
3.La caratteristica " National News " è fornita dalle stesse
Fratellanze nazionali. I testi saranno trasmessi
esclusivamente dal Capitano nazionale o dal Vigie
Internazionale. TTP, che per 20 anni è stata la voce
ufficiale della Fratellanza , non accetta articoli provenienti
da altre fonti.
4.Le Notizie Nazionali National devono essere presentate
in uno delle quattro lingue ufficiali della Fratellanza
(spagnolo , Italiano , inglese e francese ) . Esse non sono
tradotte o riscritte dall'editor . Solo errori elementari
saranno corretti . In linea di principio , lo spazio dato ad
ogni fraternità non deve superare una pagina ( o 4.000
caratteri compresi gli spazi e senza foto ). A differenza
delle notizie nazionali, gli editoriali e le comunicazioni da
SECOIN sono tradotti .
5.Tutte le nostre regole hanno conosciuto eccezioni in
passato , e senza dubbio , le conosceranno ancora di più in
futuro . OOOOOrza !
Recordatorio de Algunas Reglas

sido la voz oficial de la Hermandad, no acepta los artículos
de otras fuentes.
4. Las noticias nacionales deberán presentarse en uno de los
cuatro idiomas oficiales de la Hermandad (Español,

hermandad no debe exceder de una página (o 4.000
caracteres incluyendo los espacios y sin foto). A diferencia
de las noticias nacionales, las editoriales y las

en el pasado y sin lugar a dudas, seguirán habiendo más en
el futuro. OOOOOrza!

saranno ospitati presso il Circolo
Velico Marciana Marina e escursioni
turistico-culturali per coloro che
rimarranno a terra, il tutto sarà
allietato da canti, balli e
innumerevoli golpe de canon.

Dave Nofs, aka Moon
Our Suncoast and international
sailing brother Dave Nofs,
"Moon" no. 158 passed away on
Tuesday 1/21/14.

Dec. 11, 2013
Charles (Slow Goose)
Fine
It is with great sadness that I
announce to my Brothers that
Charles (Slow Goose) Fine has
embarked on his final sail to the
Eternal Sea.
Charles was an enthusiastic
Brother, past Captain of the NY
Table and Sage for the US
Brotherhood. He recently
received the "For The Merit"
award from US Captain Charlie
Hankins, which is the highest
award for outstanding
contributions to the US
Brotherhood. Charles always
had a ready smile and his home
was open to all Brothers who
needed a bunk. Charles' Captive
Dave became a brother in the
very early days of the Suncoast
table in 1990 and then very
quickly became the envy of many of us by sailing off to the
Caribbean with Judi on their
Endeavor 40 "FIA". After that,
we mostly got to see Dave and
Judi on the best of occasions, at
parties, both nationally and
internationally. Now we are
trying to gather some of those
memories with any photos or
anecdotes that anyone has of
Dave.
