More Namequoit

Hey there lovesick! You posted a new thread when you meant to (I think) respond to the cape cod thread. Which is ok. Just letting you know....

Namequoit as Fiorillo recalls
wow...I somehow got directed here on a google search...I being the Lou Ferigno that was mentioned in a much earlier post...I read all the posts while recalling my memories of the years spent at Namequoit as a counselor. MANY stories if anyone cares to share...including why I was hired as the sailing director in 83 (I think)...and The sinking of the CJ( or near sinking) ...Thor...you out there. I'll check back..

Re: More Namequoit
I was at Namequoit from the mid-50's throught the mid-60's. Would love to hear from anyone else of that era. I'm still a sailor, weekends on LI Sound, and we summer in Truro.

Any of the Btaon Rouge/Bunkie crew still out there?

I attended Namequoit just one season--1958--when I was 14. I don't remember anybody's names except Steve Gessner who wound up at George School with me one month later. I remember learning to sail in Turnabouts and Mercurys and being told constantly to "Trim the jib!" on the Cape Cod Knockabout. I've been sailing ever since and now have a Captain's license and teach sailing on the Hudson River. I've owned nine sailboats, from an 11' Mini-Fish to a 31' Hunter. I currently sail a Pacific Seacraft Dana 24. Namequoit was obviously a good experience for me. So good that I sent both of my sons to sailing camp when they were old enough (Camp Portanimicut, originally on Cape Cod but at the time located in Union, ME). Both of my sons have Captain's licenses and one of them owns Sea Tow South Shore (Massachusetts Bay). Doug Maass, Sleepy Hollow, NY doug@maass.org
