Anthony J. Migliaccio, MD, 83, of Tiverton, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on March 13, 2016, following a courageous battle with several long illnesses. Dr. Migliaccio, known as Tony to his friends and family, and more affectionately as Dr. Mig to his patients, was the beloved husband of Paula (Biagi) Migliaccio. They had been married for 60 years. He was the son of the late Anthony V. Migliaccio, MD, and the late Mary Migliaccio.

Tony graduated from Classical High School in 1950, from Dartmouth College in 1954, and from New York Medical College, with distinction, in 1959. He completed his internship and surgical residency at Rhode Island Hospital, and was elected in 1968 as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Tony loved the practice of medicine and will be remembered most for the extraordinary care he provided his patients. His commitment to ensuring better outcomes led him to write and publish a book focused on better health entitled, “Fitness and Expectations.”  One of his greatest traits was that he often provided medical care wherever and whenever it was needed. Many will remember that his kitchen table was the central location for various minor surgical procedures. He was affiliated with six local hospitals, including Rhode Island Hospital, Miriam Hospital, Roger Williams Hospital, and St. Joseph’s Hospital, as well as several outpatient clinics. Tony was a Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery at the Brown University School of Medicine. He was a partner with Northeast Health Care helping pioneer a cost effective alternative to Emergency Room services.

Tony was an accomplished coastal and offshore sailor, having competed in several Annapolis-to-Newport and Newport-to-Bermuda races, including a Marion-to-Bermuda race on his cherished Pearson 43, Demitasse.  A highlight to the trip was the return journey home with his daughter, Susan. Tony founded the Rhode Island International Sailing Association (RIISA), and was a past member of the Narragansett Bay Yachting Association, Twenty Hundred Club and Off Soundings Club. He was a long-time member of Barrington Yacht Club and a past member of the Rhode Island Country Club.  As a staunch environmentalist, he was a past president of Save the Bay.

When Tony wasn’t utilizing his hands in surgery, he had extensive artistic interests in woodworking as a builder of fine furniture. A fond creative activity was his use of scraps of wood from 12 Meter America’s Cup racing yachts and transforming them into unique custom gifts.  He was an accomplished photographer who excelled both behind the lens and in the darkroom. His photographs were featured in many art shows, and one in particular earned a position on the cover of the Providence Sunday Journal’s Magazine. His favorite medium was black and white.  More recently, Tony built remote controlled model airplanes and sailboats, and he helped found the Mount Hope Bay Model Yacht Club. Tony could often be seen at the water’s edge sailing or racing one of his many radio controlled model sailboats. 

For those who knew him, Tony will be most remembered for his attention to detail in all that he accomplished.  His overall goal in life was to challenge his abilities, feed his intellect, and support his family in every way that a devoted loving father could.

Besides his wife, he leaves his four children, Robert Migliaccio and his wife, Brenda, of Barrington; Susan Marszalek, and her husband Stephen, of Barrington; Leslie Mitchell, and her husband David, of Great Barrington, Mass.; and Stephen Migliaccio, and his wife Lisa, of Hingham, Mass. He was a loving grandfather to Kathryn, Elizabeth and Emily Migliaccio, Stefan and Scott Marszalek, Eliza, Isabel and Samie Kate Mitchell, and Andreas, Kalle and Thea Migliaccio, step-grandfather to Sam and Jack Hunter, and great-grandfather to Jackson Marszalek. He was the brother of Sandra Gasbarro, John Migliaccio and the late Loretta DiLuglio. In lieu of flowers, donations to Save the Bay would be greatly appreciated. The funeral will be private with a celebration of his life to be held at a later date. Visit Smithmason.com for online condolences and service information.

8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In

FoodfindsAsia.com | 8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In | Filipinos’ history as a maritime people date back to prehistoric times. In fact, the Philippines’ basic sociopolitical unit today, the barangay, traces its etymological origins to the balangay , the ancient outrigger boats that were used by precolonial Filipino communities to explore and conquer islands this side of the Pacific. As a people belonging to a seafaring culture, it’s no wonder that modern Filipinos are taking a retrospective look at their glorious past as Austronesian mariners and are developing a renewed love for the ocean and marinas as present-day yachtsmen.

Today, Philippine marinas look to accommodate more and more yachts and other pleasure watercrafts as the years go by. In 2017, an ASEAN Briefing op-ed piece named the Philippines as a country with high potential in yacht industry growth. The natural beauty of the Philippine islands and its fantastic bays, combined with a growing interest in leisurely sea travel, can explain the spike in yachting activities throughout the country.

Are you part of the demographic that’s become enamored of the yachting lifestyle? Do you want to know where in the country you can berth your watercraft? Leading sailboat and motorboat authority Europa Yachts is happy to enter the conversation, and recommends the following locations for discovering the Philippines through yachting. Here is a short list of clubs and marinas in the country, organized by island region.  

Manila Yacht Club and Marina, Manila, Metro Manila

Established in 1927, the Manila Yacht Club and Marina is one of the oldest yacht clubs in all of Asia, and is nestled in the scenic Manila Bay. It is also near other well-known landmarks in the city, such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the headquarters of the Philippine Navy, and the US Embassy. Facilities in the marina include a launching ramp and a fueling center, and the club itself is host to a restaurant and gorgeous function rooms. The Manila Yacht Club only welcomes visitors who arrive by boat, and it charges an initial security deposit of USD 750 upon arrival. Club membership is mandatory for medium and long-term mooring of boats.

Subic Bay Yacht Club, Zambales

The Subic Bay Yacht Club, which was founded in 1998, upholds itself as the country’s premier yacht club. It operates in the deepest bay in the country, and can host vessels well beyond 50 meters in length. Already benefitting from the innate beauty of the Zambales mountains surrounding it, the club hosts a number of other attractions, including its luxury accommodations, swimming pools, and its own movie theater, bowling alley, and nightclub. Those who venture outside of the club’s premises can also shop for well-priced imported goods at the Subic Freeport Zone, engage in water sports , or sign up for diving excursions.

Punta Fuego Yacht Club, Batangas

Peaceful Punta Fuego is a mecca for those who love the sport of sailing. As per its official website, the Punta Fuego Yacht Club aims to serve “a dynamic and vibrant community of boat enthusiasts and yacht owners.” This it does by playing host to a diverse population of watercrafts, from large catamarans and mono-hull yachts to small boats. Non-members of the club may use the berths for up to 3 weeks, and can refuel at the marina’s fueling station. The yacht club offers other amenities such as locker rooms, shower rooms, Internet facilities, a chart room, and a restaurant called Barracuda Bar, which serves delicious fares. Outside of the yachting crowd, Punta Fuego Yacht Club also caters to those wishing to celebrate weddings, conferences, and corporate events in their opulent quarters.

Puerto Galera Yacht Club, Oriental Mindoro

Further south, yachtsmen may moor at the Puerto Galera Yacht Club in Oriental Mindoro, an island location that’s home to tourist attractions like the Sabang Wreck dive site, lively beachfront resorts, and the Malasimbo Music Festival. Puerto Galera Yacht Club has been in operation for almost thirty years and lends services such as refueling provisions and yacht repairs from its marina. Boat owners also enjoy optimal convenience if mooring here, as they can also shop for spare parts in the nearby Batangas port.

Busuanga Yacht Club, Puerta del Sol Bay Marina, Palawan

Beautiful Palawan is a bucket-list destination for many, especially those who dream of cruising its crystalline waters. Accommodating the yachting community in this island province is the Busuanga Yacht Club, which promises secure mooring amidst breathtaking white-sand beaches. Here, each vessel will benefit from a typhoon-safe harbor, easy refueling, and direct access to transportation hubs like the New Busuanga Airport. Adjoining this marina is the Puerta del Sol Bay Resort, which offers luxurious accommodations to visitors. When not atop the deck of a boat, travelers can also explore the lagoons and freshwater lakes of Coron, go shipwreck diving, or relax in the hot springs of Maquinit.

Iloilo Sailing Club, Arevelo, Iloilo City, Iloilo

Iloilo Province is home to some of the country’s most beautiful old-world architecture, a flourishing ecotourism industry, and delectably fresh seafood cuisine. What will round off an unforgettable visit to Iloilo, however, is an excursion to the Iloilo Sailing Club on a leisure watercraft. The club accepts visitors and encourages membership in the case of medium and long-stay mooring. It also hosts a number of amenities and activities, including a dinghy storage, a beach bar and restaurant, and classes for those who want to learn about sailing. In recent months, the Iloilo Sailing Club has also been a convenient meet-up point for big maritime events, such as the Iloilo-Guimaras Paraw Regatta and the Seafarers’ Job Fair.

Cebu Yacht Club, Mactan Island, Cebu

The historic Mactan Island in Cebu was the site of Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan’s arrival in the Philippines. Now known as a commercial hub that hosts a prolific furniture and musical instruments industries, Mactan is also the location of the Cebu Yacht Club, an institution that is beloved by the locals. Aside from being an ideal spot to restock on much-needed fuel and supplies, the Cebu Yacht Club is also a trusted club to commission for boat repairs. There’s a good vibe in this club for everybody, as it sports both luxury accommodations and a waterfront strip of restaurants that laid-back diners can frequent. MINDANAO

Holiday Oceanview Marina, Samal Island, Davao del Norte

The Holiday Oceanview Marina is a major attraction of Samal Island in Davao del Norte Province, one that welcomes Filipino and foreign yachtsmen alike to moor within its premises. The space is quite roomy, in fact, with 56 berths that can fit vessels up to 15 meters in length. The club also has a boat ramp that can accommodate boats up to 18 meters in length. The well-guarded and weather-safe marina is a gateway to some of Mindanao’s finest attractions, such as the Pearl Farm, Hagimit Falls, and Giant Clam Sanctuary.  

There’s no better way to discover the Philippines from end to end than getting onboard a seaworthy vessel and going on a long cruise, with stops in some of the most beautiful places in the country. Find a safe harbor in any of these major clubs and marinas, and participate in the renaissance of sailing in the Philippines.

NYC 3D Model by Community District

The NYC 3D Model by Community District is a publicly available model consisting of every building in New York City present in 2014. The model is based on DOITT’s 2014 aerial survey, which provides roof structure details, including a high-level of detail for certain iconic buildings. The Department of City Planning imported and enhanced the DOITT files by converting the entire model into .3dm format, which is compatible with Rhinoceros 3D modeling software. DCP also divided the model into the City’s 59 Community Districts and enriched each CD with base layers, including lots, streets, parks, and rail lines.

2023 Soling Regatta

A nice sunny autumn day with a strong wind from the west, temperatures hovering around seventy, and a final chance for some competitive racing lured seven sailors with boats to the cove this morning. The tide was high at 11.25 so there was very little beach at the start. Judy was there to keep score and start the races. Thank you very much, Judy. 

Wilkie, Pat Donovan, and Shelly Northup also attended to spur us on.

Rob put in two yellow marks, one between the red/green and the pin to form the start/finish line and one between the southerly red/white and the orange/white to the west. The initial course was: 

South from the start line to a starboard rounding of the red/white mark, then, staying west of the yellow, round the orange/white mark to starboard then back to the line keeping north of the red/green mark, starboard around the yellow at the line and repeat. Twice around. The course was later shortened to cut out the southern red/white mark. Twelve races were held in all with  Paul   Mercer  winning half of them and with three second places and one third became this year’s  Soling   Regatta Champion.

 Bill David was second  with five wins, three second places, and one third and our only other winner today was  Kim Hanna  who with one second place and three thirds was  third overall

Bill Raposa finished fourth  with three second places and four thirds.

Rob had to row out for rescues twice today, once for my boat whose vintage rudder servo finally gave up, and once for Bill David’s boat after it tangled with Paul’s. Thank you, Rob.

Bill Northup had rudder linkage problems and didn’t race in the last three races. Jim Kelly had conquered a few problems earlier on but finally also couldn’t compete in the last three races. Bill Raposa sat out the final two races with unspecified problems. 

The full results can be found on our website  mhbmyc.org

So that’s the end of the season except for members who wish to continue racing for fun.

Several want to race next Thursday(High tide around 1 pm)

We will need to pull the marks etc. and the date and time for that will be 11 am next Tuesday with a favorable low tide at around 11.20.

Thanks to everyone for a fun season. Come back next year.

Whatever you do in the off-season, smile, stay safe and have fun,

Awards Banquet

 A large group attended the Awards Banquet yesterday evening to enjoy good food and good company and to recognize the winners of the season. Everyone, I think, had a very enjoyable time.

The Soling race series had been dogged by poor weather and poor attendance. Only 5 days were used for actual racing and the maximum attendance was seven. 

Awards for the Soling race series were won by:

1 Bill David

2 Kim Hanna

3 Paul Mercer

The DF95 series was a different matter. We held races on 13 days throughout the season and on three occasions we had eleven boats competing. The top three awards were made to:

1 Henry DiPietro

2 Paul Mercer

3 Nick Bailey

Henry and Nick were overseas messing about in real boats and Kim is safeguarding their awards.

Awards for the DF95 Regatta were made to:

1 Paul Mercer

2 Bill David

3 Kim Hanna

And last, but by no means least, was the presentation of The Corinthian Trophy and the winner for 2023  is Jim Kelly for his unending helpfulness to whoever needs it. Well earned, Jim.

That’s not quite the end of the season as we have the weather delayed Soling Regatta tomorrow. Let’s have a good turnout. The weather forecast is great.

The full results of the season are attached…..just the Soling Regatta to come.

See you tomorrow?

DF95 Annual Regatta

Sunny skies, a temperature in the low seventies, declining humidity, and a nice breeze meant that we could hold our DF95 Regatta after a number of weather delays.

Eight sailors brought their boats to the cove this morning and Judy was there, as usual, to keep score. Connie was also there to take some pictures. Thank you both very much.  Al, of course, was with Connie but he couldn’t race as it turned out he had two broken bones and was wearing a large boot on his left foot. We all wish him a rapid recovery.

The tide was going out with a low at 1.39 pm and the wind was vaguely from the north or northwest so Paul put in an extra mark (red) to use with the pin as the start/finish line parallel to the shore. The course was west to the orange, port rounding, then south to the white/orange, port rounding, then north to the red/green, port rounding, back west to the orange, port rounding, and back to the line. That was the course for the first six races. 

After the first six races, we all had a break for lunch.

After lunch the tide was further out and the line was moved so that the pin and the red/green mark became the start line. we had the same course except that the red/green mark was now part of the start line.

The twelve races passed without major incidents, Albert had an issue in race 6 and Wilkie had a problem with the sail servo, either the servo itself or an electrical connection in race 7 and he didn’t race again today. Shelley Northup raced but only for four races

The 2023 DF95 Regatta Champion is Paul Mercer. 

Paul won a commanding eight races and was second in one and third in another one.

In  second  place was  Bill David  with three wins, five second places, and four third places.

After a series of battles throughout the contest,  Kim Hanna  snatched  third  place from  David   Vigeant  by just one point. Kim had five second places and one third while David had one win, one second place, and five thirds.

Bill Northup’s boat was the only other boat to finish in the top three race places today.

A good day racing, fun to race, and fun to watch.

Congratulations to all the participants.

REMINDER: Our annual Awards Banquet is on Sunday in the Village Clubhouse Great Room at 6 pm. Who is the DF95 Champion, who is the Soling Champion, Who will get awarded the Corinthian Trophy?  Be there to find out. Bring your food contribution. Beer, water, and wine will be provided.

The official season will end next  Tuesday, September 19th  when we’ll hold the  Soling Regatta . The tide will be high at 11.25 so let’s have a big turnout to get wet together. Bring lunch and chairs.

See you at the Banquet,

Regattas Rearranged

As everybody was affected by the weed at Thursday’s event and others had electrical problems it has been decided that we will nullify that event and start fresh on  Tuesday, Sept.12th, with the DF95 Regatta.

That will give more sailors the chance to participate.

Next  Thursday, Sept.14th  will be the final race day for the  2023 DF95 Championship

The following  Tuesday, Sept.19th  will be the rescheduled  Soling Regatta

And don’t forget the  Banquet on Sunday, Sept.17th at 6 pm

Get those boats ready and have a fun and relaxing weekend

DF95 Annual Regatta 9/7/23

What an odd day! Nine members brought their boats to race and Jim Kelly was there to assist with proceedings in addition. Al Sampson arrived on crutches and without a boat but with Connie and Judy once again kept score. Many thanks, Judy. Al had a foot injury from falling up the steps last Thursday.  We wish you a speedy recovery, Al.  Albert Meyer had a boat but also had some control problems and his boat didn’t get into the water. It felt like Tuesday as there was no wind. We waited 30 minutes but still no wind so we decided to have lunch and wait and hope. At noon there was enough wind to race and we finally got going with eight boats racing.

Rob had thrown in 4 marks as the wind was light. I won’t detail the course as we stopped racing after three races, not because of the wind but because of the weed. Too many boats were getting slowed or stopped by the large amount of weed. We decided to stop racing and continue next week.

As we have more DF95 sailors than Soling sailors, the Soling sailors present agreed that the DF95 Regatta could continue next Tuesday and we’ll move the Soling Regatta to next Thursday with a weather date sometime next May!

Sorry Bill Raposa wasn’t there to have a vote.

Racing today was close with three different winners, Paul, Rob, and Bill David. Kim was second twice and Nick once. Bill, Kim, and David all had a third place so the whole event is wide open……to be continued.

Apart from the weed, there were a few other problems the most serious of which was when Henry DeWolf missed his underwater footing and fell. He’s OK but his radio is not. Rich and David also had electrical issues. Everybody has a few days now to resolve these items.

All the news is on our website  mhbmyc.org

Racing continues next  Tuesday, September 12th when the tide will be fully out at around noon and we will hold our  Part 2 of our DF95 Regatta. Bring chairs, lunch, and something to drink.

Thursday next week, September 14th will now be our Soling Regatta. The low tide will be at 1.39 pm.

Enjoy the weekend,

Solings 9/5/23, Regatta and Banquet News

The heavy mist of dawn eventually gave way to a brighter morning with temperature in the low eighties, quite humid with a very weak breeze from the north, once again. Four members made the trip to the cove in the hope that the wind would strengthen but it was in vain,

So Bill R, Kim, Jim K and I told war stories and fishin’ tales and called it a day

No results can be found on our website  mhbmyc.org  today but lots of other stuff can!

The next event is the DF95 Regatta, next Thursday, September 7th at 11.00. There will be a minimum of six races before lunch and another minimum of six races after lunch. Bring your own lunch and drinks and a chair. The tide will be coming in towards a high at around 3 pm and, at present, the forecast is for mid-eighties, humid, and a light breeze from the southwest.

The next Soling event is in a week’s time, Tuesday, September 12th, the day we will hold the Soling Regatta when the tide will reach a low at around noon. same format as for the DF95s.

The annual Awards Banquet will take place on Sunday, September 17th at 6 pm in the Great Room at the Village Clubhouse. I’ll send out more details very soon. As it’s a “pot luck” event please give some thought as to what you’ll bring. Beer, wine, water, and soft drinks will be provided by the club.  Spouses, significant others, and family members are all invited.

See you Thursday for the DF95 Regatta,

DF95 Racing 8/31/23

It was decidedly cooler today but with lower humidity and a very strong breeze from the north. The tide was mid-way, going out and Paul described the waves as “potent”. Nevertheless, eight sailors brought their boats to race today and another eight decided that conditions were too difficult. 

Judy kept score once again for which we thank her. Connie and Shelley were there to cheer on Al and Bill N.

There was a lot of debate this morning about whether we should race. The wind was strong, but the waves were the main subject of the discussion. We decided to wait and, finally, Bill David and Nick put their boats in the water to see how things were. They were OK, Nick with an “A” rig and Bill with a “B”. The general thought was that you need a B rig for the wind but an A rig to power through the waves.

Eventually, Rob called for a show of hands of who wanted to race and those brave or reckless sailors put their boats in the water.

Rob didn’t race today but he set the course: The line was the orange and red marks, upwind to the blue, port rounding, downwind to the orange/red gate, back to blue, and finish downwind.

Despite the weather conditions and the challenge of the course, we managed to run nine races with very little incident. We welcomed guest sailor, Greg LaPlante who has raced with us in the past.

Nick won the first race and was second in the second race, but then, in the third race his transmitter had only intermittent contact with his receiver and that was the end of his racing today.

Henry DiPietro won the second race and proceeded to win five more to easily become today’s champion. The only other winners today were Greg and Al Sampson who also had two seconds and two thirds to finish second overall today. Kim also had two second places and two thirds, enough for a third place this morning. Greg finished fourth just one point behind Kim.

Paul, who had initially decided not to race, couldn’t resist joining the fray and raced from the second race onward. Bill David had fitted his B rig at the last minute and it really didn’t work out for him today. Bill Northup had a series of issues and only managed to complete three races today.

Well done everybody!

And Bon Voyage to today’s winner, Henry who’s off to Spain to sail around Majorca in a  real  boat.

 The full results can be found on the club website  mhbmyc.org

Solings try again next Tuesday, September 5thwhen the tide will be coming in towards a high at just after 1.00 pm

Next Thursday, September 7th is the day of the DF95 Regatta. Please bring your lunch,  something to drink and a chair. The tide will be mid-way coming in to a high at around 3 o’clock. Prepare for fun.

Time to rid the boats of gremlins and have a relaxing weekend.

Happy Labor Day.

Soling Racing 8/29/23

t was dry but humid and murky this morning at the cove. But, with a gentle breeze, it was OK for racing or so we thought. What little breeze there was soon vanished and the usual three of us chatted and waited and finally abandoned all hope of racing today.

The forecast for Thursday is much better: Cooler, much less humid, and an eleven mph wind from the north.

The next chance for Solings is a week away on Tuesday, September 5th when the tide will be coming in to a high at 1.10 pm.

Before then this Thursday, August 31st, will see DF95s race again when the tide will be going out to a low at around 2 o’clock. that’s one week before the DF95 Regatta.

See you Thursday,
