Sail group opens waters to disabled
Posted by Charles Zusman/The Star-Ledger August 13, 2008 7:03PM
A big part of the pleasure of boating is the nice people you meet. Just ask Chris Stitt and Mike Tierney, who recently made each other's acquaintance, and both came away much richer for the experience.
Stitt, of Mountain Lakes, has been wheelchair-bound since an auto accident and stroke in November, and is working on rehabilitation. Tierney, of Seaside Park, is the skipper of a 32-foot Catalina sailboat and is a volunteer with Sail-Habilitation, a Barnegat Bay program that takes disabled people boating.
The group's Community Boating Day, held Aug. 2 at the Lavallette Yacht Club, saw some 20 skippers take 66 participants for rides on the bay. Stitt and Tierney were among them.
"It was a super great time," said Stitt, 47, a financial analyst who had sailed before but for whom boating now seemed like an impossible dream. "It was wonderful. I am very pumped up. It was very smooth in the bay and it was a great feeling to be skimming across the water."
His enthusiasm was matched by that of Tierney, who has been volunteering his boat for six years.
"Once you do it, you just can't stop," he said, recalling the looks of gratitude from people he has taken out, ranging in age from 8 to 80. "I get more out of it than they do. It couldn't be more rewarding."
Tierney, 62, who is retired and came to sailing late in life, said enthusiasm for the program catches on, and other skippers he has enlisted always return after their first trip.
"Whenever Stephanie calls, I come," said Tierney. Stephanie is Stephanie Argyris, a physician who specializes in rehabilitation and is the program's founder. A sailor herself, she knows the therapeutic effects of being out on the water.
Stitt was touched by the attention given at the yacht club and the Sail-Habilitation "transfer teams." The teams were the volunteers, including therapists, who helped the participants board the boats. For the first time since his stroke, Stitt left his wheelchair behind, and sat on a regular seat in the cockpit.
If there was a disappointment for Stitt, it was that because of conditions on the bay his ride was under power, not sail. He recalled the gusts and squalls in the morning, "but then the weather broke and it was beautiful," he said.
Stitt was out for about an hour and half, not long by most standards, but a cherished time for the participants--and the skippers.
Boats were power and sail and ranged in size. Tierney can take up to six participants at a time, and he particularly appreciates it when family members come along to share the experience. Stitt's wife, Aleene, was along for the ride.
"It was just so warm and so comforting, it was like we knew Mike forever," Aleene said. "Experiences like that keep Chris so motivated to keep going."
No other Community Boating Days are planned for this season, because the logistics are challenging, but the group is looking to next year and help is needed. "We are absolutely looking for volunteers," said Antoinette Rose, vice president of the group. Help is needed with paperwork as well as assistance on the water.
