Points North Looking out on Shilshole Bay from the 48° North office, there is an absolute cruising treasure trove in every direction. I spend a fair amount of time promoting (sometimes defending) the sailing and cruising in the south Puget Sound because it is severely underrated by the average central Sound sailor with whom I come in contact. I make that disclaimer because, get ready, there is a whole lot of stuff about cruising northern waters in this issue. August tends to be the biggest cruising month of the year, and this year is no different. Many PNW sailor folk are casting off lines for the San Juans, the Gulf Islands, and beyond in the next few weeks. I will be among them, but more on that in a moment. My primary personal interest in sailing may be racing boats, but I love a good cruise too. For me, nothing decreases my productivity more than letting my mind wander about the cruising grounds north, sometimes far north, of Seattle. Its effect is even more dizzying than the America’s Cup or TP 52s racing in Europe. This month, I did more than my share of dreaming. I won’t steal any thunder from the articles about Haida Gwaii (page 25) or Kodiak, Alaska (page 34), but I will tell you that I went down some serious rabbit holes while I plotted how I can get to those places, and soon. I also spent a bit of time on the phone and online trying to answer a letter about Barkley Sound and completely forgot why I started looking into it as I dove into imagery and charts of the Broken Group, living vicariously through blogs and cruising guides. And, of course, I got all sorts of wrapped up in the Race to Alaska. Ok, ok, that’s not necessarily cruising... but for the boats that finished since we went to press on the last issue, are you sure it’s not kind-of cruising? Those sailors and paddlers stopped most nights. They certainly pushed themselves and their boats hard, but also spent a great deal more time transiting the exquisite Inside Passage waters than those who finished in six days (story of the winners on page 36). It may not have been a pleasure cruise, but I’d wager that they got some similar enjoyment out of the weeks they spent getting to Ketchikan as many who will cruise the same route this summer. Perhaps more fun and distracting than anything else, I got to dive deeply into the details of planning our own 48° North Cascadia Cruising Rally. The first annual installation of this event departs in less than two weeks. I’ve still got an intimidating stack of cruising guides on my desk, ear-marked with post-it-notes because I’ve got tons more to learn! As I’ve looked for cruising information about the Gulf Islands, where we will spend four nights, I’ve actually been surprised how limited good information can be for certain areas. This leaves me ambivalent. On one hand, I’m frustrated because I want everyone with even a shred of interest to have the tools to safely and enjoyably explore our waters via sailboat. On the other, it’s exciting to think that there’s a still a big world to discover that goes way beyond the reaches of Google Street View. We are accustomed to having literally all the information we could desire (and more) at our fingertips about nearly every subject. Cruising in remote areas... not so much, and that’s not a bad thing. After spending this month thinking about cruising north, we’re setting a course for 0° with the rest of you. Whichever direction you sail, enjoy cruising season! I’ll see you on the water! Joe Cline, Editor, 48° North Thank You Cascadia Cruising Rally participants, including these folks and others!

Thank You Letter from Nefarious to the Sailing Community Read on for a gracious and grateful message that beautifully represents how awesome this community is, while also giving a few details you might not have known about a puzzling collision between boat and whale. It comes from Dan Randolph, the owner and skipper of “Nefarious,” the Farr 30 that was involved in the collision in which Dan and his crew were severely injured. I made a mistake and did not publish this in the July issue as I had intended to, and as I had promised Dan I would. I dropped the ball, so this is coming to you a month later than it should have. You might have already caught it online; but I still wanted to publish it here because it is a crazy story, and because both the supportive sailing community and Dan’s attitude are just plain awesome.

In May, I was involved in a very unusual sailing accident and have since been overwhelmed and humbled by the support and well wishes my family has received from our local sailing community. We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to all of you for the many cards and notes, offers to babysit our two and four year old girls, delicious meals, and help maintaining my house and boat while I was in the hospital. Many have been curious about exactly what happened. Simply put, we were attacked by a large Grey Whale… well maybe not “attacked,” but it sure felt that way. Having retired from the second day of Sloop Tavern Yacht Club’s Race to the Straits, my friend, Scott Peterson, and I were enjoying a nice motor back to Shilshole, doing about 7 knots on glass calm water. Soon after rounding the outside of the Meadow Point buoy, the boat came to a very sudden and violent stop. The bow went down while Scott and I were launched about 6 feet into the house. I briefly blacked out, but when I came to the prop was cavitating as the boat was being pushed backward. I was on the deck gasping for breath as Scott jumped below to kill the engine. When he returned to the deck he saw the whale as it slid by. It appeared to be a www.48North.com

Dear 48° North crew and readers, An hour ago, while anchored off Mullins Island, we were visited by a park ranger patrol boat. While very friendly, they soon asked us if we knew about the new park fees for boats visiting the park. No, never heard of it. New this year, boaters must have a Canadian nationals parks permit. We were told to call in and get one, but the number sent to a “contact us during normal business hours” message, even though we

head-on collision with the whale, which first contacted our keel at a combined closing speed of maybe 12-14 knots. Realizing I was seriously hurt, Scott restarted the engine and prepared the boat for docking. I sat on the deck with a hand on the tiller attempting to navigate to Shilshole when I again lost consciousness. Scott immediately took charge and heroically got us safely to the dock and organized a call to 911. Scott himself suffered cuts, bruises and cracked ribs. The fire station medics arrived in a few short minutes, followed by a quick ambulance trip to Harborview, where I ended up for a total of nine days. Now a little more than month from the accident, Scott is in good shape and I’m recovering nicely from three broken ribs and various internal injuries necessitating the removal of some (apparently unnecessary) organ bits. Thanks to the amazing trauma team at Harborview, including (among others) head surgeon Dr. Saman Arbabi and fellow racing sailor Dr. Cameron Gaskill, for likely saving my life. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how this happened. The water was glass calm and we kept a good watch due to the activity around Golden Gardens, yet we saw absolutely no sign there were whales in the area – not that anyone would expect to see a Grey Whale off the Golden Gardens beach in 40’ of water! I later heard that the STYC committee boat sighted a Grey Whale heading north shortly before our collision and that it may have been rubbing against the finish pin. Given the sound of our engine, it’s hard to believe the whale didn’t know we were there. It’s possible the whale was sick, confused, or just wanted to rub against our hull – but I guess we will never know. At this point, I would love to offer sage advice regarding avoiding whales, but in reality there is nothing we could have done. It may just as well have been a sunken tree or lost shipping container. I guess the lesson learned here is to never become complacent and always save one hand for the boat. Thanks again for the support of our incredible sailing community. I hope to someday repay some measure of the kindness that so many of you have shared.

Letters were calling before the closing time. So I’m not sure of the rates. Does transiting require fees? If you drop anchor, is that the trigger for fees? If you stay overnight, is that one fee like an overnight dock fee, or is it two days of fees? The rangers did say there were no restrictions on anchoring locations, but camping was allowed only at designated sites. They did mention no dogs allowed on shore in the park and boaters should leave the park for a shoreside dog excursion. I read 48° North often, and attend the Seattle boat show, but never heard of this new requirement. No fines at this time, but other boaters may want to be informed.

On a brighter note, it has been spectacular here with awesome views of the mountains; clear sunny days, with deep blue skies; and brilliant stars at night in total darkness. A bit of fog in the morning typically burns off by 11am. Winds only to 15 knots in Barkley Sound have made for splendid sailing, even though the west coast of Vancouver Island forecast has been for gales. We’ve seen humpbacks, a bear cub on the shore, and now hear chanting and drums in the distance as we are anchored near a First Nations gathering. This group is canoeing to Olympia, WA, and have put in for the night. The best part is we have been alone in our anchorage on six of the seven nights we have been in the Broken Group.

Thanks for the note, Keith. I have done a bit of looking online and in print, and I can’t find any information on these fees either. I called Pacific Rim National Park and, like you, got a message service. So, I guess I join you in bewilderment. There are always more experienced cruisers out there - so why don’t we open it up to the 48° North hivemind? Have other 48° North readers cruised in Barkley Sound in each of the past years? Were you aware of existing or new fees for cruisers in these areas, and/or do you have additional information that might be useful to present or future cruisers to these extraordinary cruising grounds?

Plan to Experience Where Friday Begins!
“Sqoop”? I can see you rolling your eyes and hear the sniggering, but bear with me if you a are sailor who enjoys cruising, hates hard work, and strives to make indolence an art form...let’s geek out a bit and see if we can’t recycle some Renaissance technology for modern day use. For cruising sailors, a modern, single-masted, squarerigged sailing vessel (‘sqoop’) is a viable option for those willing to limit their sailing to downwind tracks and content to motor around otherwise. A little background... I went to the Maritime Museum in Lisbon and was fascinated by the evolution of sailing vessels during Portugal’s glory years of maritime exploration. Back then, ships were primarily square-rigged, and as I was trying to work out the difference between a brig, a carrack, and a galleon, I asked myself ‘Why don’t I see any square-rigged vessels nowadays?’ Of course, the answer is, ‘Because fore-and-aft rigged vessels sail much better upwind, you dunderhead!’ If you are like me, you either own or charter a sloop, cutter, or ketch/yawl and simply enjoy being out on the water and getting from point A to point B in as lazy a manner as possible; to me, this means sailing downwind all the time! I don’t take much pleasure in beating upwind, making scant progress towards my destination (and the eventual anchorage cocktails). My favorite type of sailing is quietly running downwind with the swell on the stern, wing-on-wing with genoa poled out. I end up motoring around more than I’d like due to light winds, so what if I just decided one day to be a boater that motors upwind and sails downwind when conditions allow it? What kind of boat would I design? by Popeye da Gama (AKA Jay Whitlan) Thanks, Popeye! So, 48°N readers, if this interests you, I’m going to publish the rest of Popeye’s REMARKABLY scientific and lighthearted analysis of a hypothetical modern square-rigged design online. Seriously, it’s impressive! Check www.48north.com/sqoop

If you have a galley on your boat, always have a substantial apron nearby and get in to the habit of slipping it over your head when cooking. I’m prompted to say this because a paid crew on a yacht in the Bahamas had an urn of scalding coffee spill down her front...the result of wake in an otherwise peaceful anchorage. She suffered third degree burns and was far from medical care. She was eventually flown to Miami, but was incapacitated for months. She’s now a litigant in a substantial law suit.

Business or Pleasure, AquaDrive will make your boat smoother, quieter and vibration free. The AquaDrive system solves a problem nearly a century old; the fact that marine engines are installed on soft engine mounts and attached almost rigidly to the propeller shaft. The very logic of AquaDrive is inescapable. An engine that is vibrating
on soft mounts needs total freedom of movement from its propshaft if noise and vibration are not to be transmitted to the hull. The AquaDrive provides just this freedom of movement. Tests proved that the AquaDrive with its softer engine mountings can reduce vibration by 95% and structure borne noise by 50% or more. For information, call Drivelines NW today.

Lowtide CrewWatcher ® is an app-based crew overboard alarm system that is the fastest way to rescue a person who is overboard. Response time can mean the difference between life or death in cold water. Contrary to AIS beacons that are turned off while on board, CrewWatcher® actively monitors the crew. The alarm sounds within six seconds when a crew member goes overboard.

The system records this location and directs the boat’s return to the “point of loss.” The CrewWatcher® alarm is automatically activated by loss of the beacon’s signal OR by detecting water immersion (The water sensor is smart, distinguishing rain and wave splashes from total immersion.). The system works like a virtual lifeline and is made up of two components: a smartphone application and a small beacon that can

At age 19, Pat Ardley packed up her belongings and left Winnipeg for Vancouver, looking for adventure. Little did she know that she’d spend the next forty years in the wilderness, thirty of which would be spent with a man known as George “Hurricane” Ardley. Pat met George soon after arriving in Vancouver, and not long after that the two of them set out for Addenbroke Island to work as junior lighthouse keepers. There, the couple fell in love with the wilderness lifestyle and each other. Soon Pat and George were starting their own remote fishing lodge in Rivers Inlet. Financed by their wilderness odd jobs, the lodge came together slowly but surely, through the couple’s hard work. George proudly added a nursery to the float lodge when their family grew, and they made sure the little ones knew not to step out the door without wearing a life jacket.

Life was full of both challenges and rewards, and dealt plenty of disasters and close calls, but the lodge business supported the family, and gained a steady clientele who were enticed back year after year by the warm welcome, beautiful setting and plentiful salmon, giant halibut, and ling cod. After running the lodge together for twenty-seven years, George passed away from cancer. Despite all the advice she received to the contrary, Pat decided to run the business on her own with the assistance of her two children. Through resolve and strength in adversity, Pat outgrew the shadow of Hurricane Ardley and earned an intimidating nickname of her own: Don’t-Mess-with-Me Ardley.

Maritime Trivia
Octopus means “eight-footed.” The plural of octopus is octopuses, not octopi. There are more than 300 species of octopus found worldwide. Those living in cold waters are larger than the ones living in warm waters. In 2007, four new species of octopus were discovered in Antarctica. The Dumbo octopus, which lives 13,000 feet deep, was only discovered in 2008. The female blanket octopus can be 40,000 times heavier and 100 times larger than the male. The glass octopus is transparent and barely visible to human eyes. There are four species of blueringed octopus, and their neurotoxin is 100 times more lethal than black widow spider venom.

Lowtide Octopus are amongst the few animals observed using tools, such as carrying coconut shells or other objects to hide in. Octopus have learned to twist open jars to get food.
Among octopus varieties are: giant Pacific, velvet, football, glass, coconut, Mexican four-eyed, spider. Many aquariums display giant Pacific octopuses. The California octopus, less than an inch long, is the world’s smallest. A giant Pacific octopus weighing 150 pounds can squeeze through an opening the size of a lemon. Octopus are short-lived animals. Even the largest rarely live more than four years. Some species of octopus are plankton feeders.
Jacques Cousteau once placed a lobster in a corked jar before an octopus. The octopus uncorked it and had a lobster dinner. Octopus have been known to leave aquarium tanks, wander around, then return. They have also raided adjacent aquariums in a facility for food, then returned to their tank. Giant Pacific octopus have been known to snatch seabirds from the water’s surface, and also divers’ cameras and equipment. Eye spots, or eye-like spots on fishes like butterflyfish and other marine life such as octopus, create them through camouflage, are called ocelli.

On a sunny Saturday in early July, a new sailing event took flight - the inaugural Salish Sails day. The event, inspired by 48° North, was designed in partnership with local yacht clubs with the purpose of getting new folks out on the water to experience the joy of sailing. Both racing and cruising were available for those interested. Thank you to the yacht clubs who made the effort to give life to this event in its first year: Seattle Yacht Club, Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle, Shilshole Bay Yacht Club, and Seattle Singles Yacht Club. I was honored to host seven people on my boat, S/V Billabong. We cast off lines from Shilshole Bay Marina with beautiful skies, big mountains, and moderate winds. I love taking people out on their first sail and seeing the wonder and enjoyment in their eyes as they learn how to steer and trim the sails in a exquisite dance with nature. I also delight in their laughter as they try to master a language that exists only in the boating world. Though we started with a southerly, the wind shifted around to come from the north and put us on a direct path to Kingston. One sailor, Bennett, was an old school racer who
Salish Sails The Inaugural PNW Rookie Rally Day came to reignite his own passion. He also brought his girlfriend on her first sailing trip. She keenly observed as he pointed out the various lines, cleats, and other contraptions on the boat and explained how and why they worked.
She handily stepped up and both trimmed the sails and helmed like a natural born sailor. I think I see a boat in their future! Nathalie, Billabong’s mainsail trimmer during races, brought a friend along and during a lull in the wind they repeatedly dove off the back of the boat into the chilly waters of Puget Sound. They swear it was refreshing and not cold at all, but I have my doubts! My wife, Alix, brought along a friend who has been wanting to try sailing for some time. They had a delightful time getting the boat moving and then relaxing in the sun on the foredeck. After a couple hours of indulgence, we tacked toward Shoreline. The wind came and the sails were nice and full. Bennett wanted to give his girlfriend the full experience, so she took the helm and we hardened up to get 20° of heel. She helmed like a pro. We had over four hours of magnificent sailing and inspired four new sailers to join our world of sailing! I am already looking forward to participating in and growing next year’s Salish Sails event! - by Ben Lobaugh, Shilshole Bay Yacht Club
It was an absolutely gorgeous day for learning the basics of yacht racing. Our Salish Sails participants had a 45 minute session in the classroom. We heard about prior sailing experience, and there were some folks that had taken a long break since junior sailing and wanted to get back into sailing via the Club’s J/22s. They had a lot of questions, including some specific to well attended fun-focused races, like Duck Dodge. Another participant is the owner of a lovely cruising boat kept in Elliott Bay Marina that has been longingly watching the Thursday night series and not knowing how to go about entering and taking part in the events. There's a bit more to it than simply ‘go fast, turn left.’ We dissected a sample copy of sailing instructions; gave a lesson on starting sequences and even discussed some of the most common rules. Then, it was time to go out on the water. We ran three good windward-leeward races on Portage Bay. Each sailor rotated through to be skipper, main trimmer, and jib trimmer. The starts were highly competitive. Rubbin’ is racin’ as they say in NASCAR.” - by Regan Edwards, Seattle Yacht Club 24

i i a w G a d Hai By Patrick Davin

aida Gwaii is a quintessential Northwest cruising destination that few sailors manage to visit, but many dream about. It’s a remote area of British Columbia about 80 nautical miles across Hecate Strait and is composed of two large islands (Moresby and Graham) and hundreds of smaller islands. Its isolation and challenging waters deter crowds from visiting, but the rewards include empty anchorages, hotsprings, unique hikes, and native Haida village sites. Haida Gwaii was formerly referred to as the Queen Charlotte Islands, but the name changed in 2010 with passage of the Haida Gwaii Reconciliation Act. The Haida have lived in traditional settlements on these islands for thousands of years, and today have sites preserving totem poles and cultural heritage. The Haida were closely connected with the land and sea, and have always understood the importance of protecting the natural environment. Note that saying “the Haida people” would be redundant, because Haida means “the people” in their native tongue. We visited Haida Gwaii this June on our C&C Landfall 38, Violet Hour,

spending two weeks there. Early June isn’t quite summer there yet, and we spent the first week waiting out backto-back southerly gales while also exploring Graham Island via a rental car. The second week we traveled south through Gwaii Haanas National Park, a protected area which requires permits to visit. Gwaii Haanas was formed as a result of logging protests in the 1980s that succeeded in protecting the beauty of the islands for future generations to enjoy. Sailing & Navigational Challenges Getting to Haida Gwaii is a daunting passage because of the distance but also due to the potentially rough waters of Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound. The sound can have large swells and high winds, and the northern half of Hecate Strait is quite shallow (40-100 feet), potentially creating very steep waves in moderate to high wind. Waves in the strait are not gentle ocean rollers - they’re influenced by wind-against-current and complex land effects. One dialect of Haida language has over 50 words related to describing waves - words translating to “sloppy www.48North.com

waves breaking,” as well as “waves hit boat and knock it about,” and “waves breaking heavy on beach.” “Gaaysiigang” is their word for “the person who sizes up the waves so the boat can get out.” The Haida plied these waters in wooden canoes - it’s amazing to us that they went long distances in tough conditions with nothing but human powered motion. The distance of 80 - 110 nautical miles across Hecate from one anchorage to another is just long enough that sailboats averaging around 6 knots typically can’t complete it as a day sail, yet it’s too short for your body to adapt to the interrupted sleep patterns of an overnight crew watch rotation. With a crew of only two, and conditions that change hourly, we found it to be a very tiring passage. Our passages to and from Haida Gwaii each took about 18 hours, but were very different in most other respects. The first passage we did overnight, and hoped to sail most of the way; but the wind didn’t work out. We sailed about 8 hours, all upwind in 5-10 knots, and motored about 9 hours. Hecate Strait had choppy, confused waves, despite the light wind, and we rolled a fair bit while motoring. 25
Haida Gwaii is located off the rugged west coast of Britich Columbia, separated from the mainland by blustery Hecate Strait. For crossing back east, we left with a forecast of NW 20-30 (hoping for more 20 than 30) and had NW 30-35 most of the day (we did this passage from 4:30am - 11pm, all hours with partial daylight). The borderline gale conditions stirred Hecate up into big waves very closely spaced together, and breaking at times (we had wave spray going over our bimini, and waves coming in the cockpit). Although we sailed the whole way, it was exhausting and frightening - something we never want to repeat with just the two of us. The weather in Haida Gwaii is also challenging and complex. It’s similar to Alaska’s weather - it changes quickly, with frequent rain and sunbreaks, and wind shifts on an hourly basis. There are dozens of microclimates throughout the islands and it could be hailing at one end while it’s sunny on
the other. If you sail there in June, be prepared for rain more often than not. Hotsprings Island The hot springs on Hotsprings Island are a highlight of many cruisers’ visit. Part of Gwaii Haanas Park, they require a permit to visit and are maintained by Haida watchmen and watchwomen. In 2012 a 7.7 magnitude earthquake temporarily stopped the flow to the hotsprings, but two pools are going strong today, and a third is making a gradual comeback. As with many of the Watchmen sites, the island doesn’t have a super protected anchorage. In settled weather, you can anchor between Hotspring Island and House Island and take a trail from the east beach of Hotspring island to the cabin and hotsprings on the west side. We stayed

in this spot overnight and found it to be scenic and calm, but in the morning it got a bit rolly even though the breeze outside of the anchorage was only 10 knots. An alternate anchorage to the east, Ramsay Island Cove, is likely better protected if Hecate is bouncing swells into the inter-island waters. These were some of our favorite hotsprings that we’ve sailed to. The water was clear, warm-to-hot in temperature, and not very sulfury smelling. Rock retaining walls have been built up so that the water accumulates to a 2 - 3 foot depth. And the view from the pools on a clear evening is amazing: overlooking a calm bay with a ring of mountains to the west, glowing in shades of orange from the setting sun. Meeting the Haida watchmen and watchwomen was also a highlight of our trip. They care very deeply about their land and history, and each person had a unique story to tell. The Haida watchwoman at Skedans told us of how her family crest was the raven, but her father’s was the eagle - family crests pass from the mother’s side, and people had to marry across clans - i.e., a raven could marry an eagle. She also described how women in the Haida culture were looked upon as equals and often controlled decisions in important matters - the chief consulted the village women before making decisions affecting the community. Adventures in Skidegate Inlet If you go to the central part of Haida Gwaii you’ll probably spend some time in Skidegate Inlet where the two main ports are - Sandspit and Queen Charlotte City. Getting into Skidegate Inlet can be an adventure in itself. It’s guarded by the Sandspit bar, a six-mile long shallow bar (15-30 feet) with currents passing over it. In strong winds, waves around the bar kick up into six foot standing waves, as we found out the hard way while trying to leave in S 20-25. We made it over the bar, but facing 20 miles upwind to the nearest anchorage in that breeze, we realized it would be no fun at all in the conditions. We turned around (going back over the bar) and motorsailed to the marina as winds began to hit 30 gusting to 35. Skidegate Inlet is a great spot for
A Haven for Hiking One unexpected surprise was that Haida Gwaii has lots of great hikes, especially on the more populated northern island, Graham. We did six different hikes, all on well maintained trails through old growth forest, from easy to moderate in difficulty. Some hikes The shipwreck of the 290’ log barge “Pesuta” was impressive had boardwalks in and affecting.

While we were in Sandspit waiting to explore the northern parts of Haida Gwaii. We rented a car and drove out gales, we made the best of the time north to the Pesuta shipwreck, Masset, by hiking the nearby Dover trail. As and Tow Hill.

She trotted us of the power of the sea.
The Dover Trail hike was beautiful! ahead of us for the whole two hours, pausing occasionally to look back and make sure we were still following. Perhaps for this one day, we had found our spirit animal. Our time in Haida Gwaii showed us it’s a beautiful area with rich cultural history. The tiring passages certainly tried our patience and stretched the limits of our abilities, but we attribute some of the weather challenges to being there too early (May 29 - June 15). For those up for adventure, Haida Gwaii has plenty of rewards to offer.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford
The Perils of Naming a Boat Mau Ke Mana was the name of our first family cruising boat. Say that ten times fast! A VHF call would go something like: “Serendipity, Serendipity, this is Mau Ke Mana. Do you copy?” “Vessel hailing Serendipity, can you repeat your name?” “This is Mau Ke Mana.” “Did you say Mao Tse Tung? Or was that Moo Me Mama?” It’s not an intuitive name, and even if you can remember it you’re probably not pronouncing it correctly. This is how Jamie and I learned a basic requirement for boat naming: simple pronounceability. Mau Ke Mana is an Indonesian phrase, and a common greeting I learned living in Bali many years ago. It’s the equivalent of “what’s up?” although the literal translation is “where do you want to go?” Like many common greetings, mau ke mana comes with a standard response: “jalan jalan,” which means “just walking.” Presto, perfect dinghy name. As our practice boat for cruising adventures, the name resonated both as a nod to our past and a forward look for the big question: where DID we want to go? Anywhere, everywhere, and boat was putting us on that track.
The deep personal meaning this name held for our family was, well, very nice for us. For others, it was utterly irrelevant; merely a stumbling block that was difficult to say, remember, or repeat. Communicating as Mau Ke Mana in an emergency, under stress or with a poor connection would only complicate the situation. Imagine if we’d taken Mau Ke Mana on extended cruising adventures. We’d have to spell the boat’s name over VHF radio to befuddled authorities who probably don’t speak Bahasa Indonesian. Name clarification is commonly done using the phonetic alphabet, which is a whole barrel full of monkey fun. Say it with me: Mike Alpha Uniform [pause] Kilo Echo [pause] Mike Alpha November Alpha. I’m exhausted already! Trust me, I’ve spent a lifetime spelling and pronouncing “Behan” – and it has only five letters.
More than Pronounceability As cruisers, you are known by your boat name. Few friends in our cruising life know our last name is Gifford. To them we are the Totems, which is a lot better than the Mau Ke Manas. With a name like that, the Y-Knots might not want to stumble through inviting the Mau Ke Manas to the beach BBQ even though t h e y ’ v e a l r e a d y called the Aquaholics, the No Regrets, the Seas the Days, Island Timers, and Second Wind crews. Awkward… Don’t Look Back was the name of the Stevens 47 we bought after Short, sweet, meaningful to you, and easy to spell and understand sending Mau these principles of a good boat name. Ke Mana to

jalan jalan around the Salish Sea with a new family. Don’t Look Back was easy to say and understand. Unfortunately, the meaning was sour - the prior owner’s divorce mantra. For a new name we defined several criteria: • It should be meaningful for our family. • It should be easy to say, even for nonEnglish speakers • It should be relatively short • It shouldn’t be confusing with meaningful maritime radio lingo such as Security and Sécurité It was harder than naming our children, but we stumbled on Totem. Tango Oscar Tango Echo Mike. Short, easy, and meaningful to us. Totem to us is a spirit being, protecting a clan or family. Boat naming is important. It took us two boats to get it right; others we know renamed their boat a second time after the first name became problematic. When they got the boat, they named her Security. This proved too much like the VHF safety and warning message designation word Sécurité. Instead of a friendly invite over for a barbeque, a call from Security could be interpreted as a warning to stay away from a possible boat fire scheduled to commence at 1800 hours. They renamed the boat BeBe, Bravo Echo Bravo Echo, an eminently more practical name with sentimental value for them. Suggestive names are popular, especially for catamarans and fishing boats. When you hear Catatonic or Catnip, you can be pretty sure it’s a catamaran. If Reel Reckless or The Codfather are nearby, be careful to avoid their fishing gear. NautiGulls and Breakin’ Wind suggest behaviors, more than boat type, that you may or may not want to be around. It’s thoughtful that the owners clue you in before you accept their barbeque invitation. Names that are associated with the owners’ profession or vocation can be fun.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
Look down the closest piling at low tide and chances are good you’ll see these animals. Yes, they are animals; animals that look like flowers. Animals with deadly stinging tentacles that can move around and even grab, kill, and eat small fish. There are many species of anemones in the Salish Sea. Some tiny inchwide creatures that congregate in colorful crowds; others can be two feet tall. The plumose averages a respectable 12” tall and can have up to 100 tentacles that sting and grab any morsel that floats by. Their meal, often microscopic, is then transferred down into a waiting mouth, throat and stomach to be consumed. Remember Little Shop of Horrors? This is an oceanic equivalent, except there are millions of them under our docks and floats. Low tide might expose them to air, in which case they sort of fold up like a deflated balloon and wait for the incoming tide.
Anemones can move about, leaving one spot behind when it senses danger or a lack of food. When it does, it simply walks off, but leaves behind some anemone DNA, and from this, a new anemone will grow. In the summer, it also creates and releases sperm and eggs that drift around until ‘things happen.’ This animal is well-armed. It possesses two types of stinging tentacles, the most common is for stinging prey, a second set is for defense. These can elongate two or three times their length and reach out to attack anything passing by - think stinging nettles on your favorite river trail. Other tentacles from inside the body can be shot through the body column or mouth to do the same attacking. Basically, this beautiful animal may look great, but it’s a killer if you’re a small witless creature swimming past. So, at the next low tide, put your stomach on the dock, peep down the piling well and have a look for yourself. You won’t regret it.

n Australian once made one of the most outlandish statements I’ve ever heard. “There’s nothing for me in the Indian Ocean,” he loudly stated. Whaaa?!… buzzed my brain. In an entire ocean, NOTHING AT ALL?! Leaving that Aussie behind, we set our sights on a transit through the Indian Ocean (IO). After reading numerous accounts of cruisers’ experiences of their Indian Ocean crossings, we’d locked onto Madagascar with the expectation that it might be the highlight of our Indian Ocean experience. Through the narratives of our friends, we painted a picture of wild territory where only the intrepid dare wander; where life was so remote that to visit was to step back in time. In our minds, Madagascar was a country that had been so cut off from the larger world that you’d encounter species of animals only seen in documentaries narrated by David Attenborough. There was something for us in the Indian Ocean, and that something was Madagascar. Our attempt to cross the Indian Ocean aboard our 50’ steel-hulled Ganley Solution cutter, Atea, had been thwarted twice: once in February 2015 by a pregnancy that didn’t happen and a second time in January 2016 by a different medical crisis. By our third attempt in June 2016, it was either ‘go IO or bust.’ As we pushed out into the Indian Ocean we couldn’t know then just how rich and rewarding it was going to be for us. Looking back now, after two years spent sailing through her waters, I can assert that there is oh-so-much on offer in the Indian Ocean. We made the most out of our commitment to explore it. We hit highlight after highlight: the diversity of Sumatra, the comedy of Cocos Keeling, the beauty of the Seychelles, the natural wonder of Chagos, the colorful dynamism of India, the underwater magnificence of the Maldives, and the cultural richness of Tanzania. Finally, the jewel of the Indian Ocean lay ahead of us. Yet with the country at our doorstep, I was dragging my feet... Should we go? At the time, we were in the Quirimbas, a network of atolls in northern Mozambique, and we were loving it. The islands were

solid wooden boats) peppering the seascape and a landscape of parched, dry earth. Nearly all the local trade is transported in sailing craft and local mariners are masters of boat handling as they gracefully slip past the modern lightweight plastic yachts with inches to spare. Named “Big Island” in the Malagasy language, Nosy Be has 75,000 inhabitants living in an area three-quarters the size of Singapore. Nosy Be is generally regarded as the largest and most popular tourist destination in Madagascar, and the island has capitalized on its popularity by offering an array of guesthouses and restaurants, nature tours, and guided trips to surrounding islets. There is a small, but established, yachting and fishing charter industry. Hellville – an unfortunate but appropriately descriptive name for the island’s main town – provides an active night scene with boisterous bars and throbbing nightclubs. While it is Madagascar’s most expensive destination, there is still a laid-back feeling to this hub of activity, and we settled in quite nicely to the slow pace of life. Madagascar is now a standard stop in the cruising circuit across the Indian Ocean, and Nosy Be is where all yachts eventually congregate. In the height of the season, it is buzzing with activity, yachts mix with dhows as they vie for room in the bay. At age three (fueled by the laughter it induced), my son took to telling restaurant staff, “I like beer. I like it all day long.” So it was for us with rum in Madagascar. While the temptation to slip into a drunken stupor is very enticing on such cheap and delicious booze, there is so much in Madagascar that warrants the occasional cap on the top of the rum bottle. For one, there are the lemurs: nonaggressive, gentle, and curious. Once spread across the country, extreme deforestation and population growth have reduced their territory and their numbers. Out of the seventyone different types of lemur still in existence, currently all are listed as endangered species. We still saw lemurs all around Nosy Be - wild but habituated to human contact, incented to stay with handfuls of bananas. In almost every stop we made, these
docile creatures would leap from the trees with cat-like agility and land on a shoulder with a soft, velvet touch. Unlike their raucous monkey cousins, lemurs are a model of good manners and patience. Others may prefer a dip in 82°F waters unspoiled by plastic litter. You may also sit back and watch the procession of sailing dhow glide past as they transport cargo up and down the coast. Or, you just might look over your rail to see a humpback or whale shark gliding past, gentle giants who grace these shores from June to November. The sailing conditions in Madagascar are remarkably good. It is large enough to generate its own sea and land breeze with clockwork regularity - a 15-knot afternoon sea breeze. One can easily forget the early morning promise of “never again!” and enjoy a perfect afternoon sail with rum in hand as you drink in the sunshine and picturesque hillsides dotted with thatched houses. Since Atea has followed an unusual route this season and arrived in Madagascar late and from the ‘wrong’ direction, the majority of our cruising
compatriots had already departed for South Africa. Instead of reconnecting with the international fleet, we fell in step with a mix of resident charter boats and South African cruisers. Just as sailors from New Zealand and Australian frequent Tonga and Fiji, so do South Africans visit Madagascar. It is just one passage from home and all the delights of a foreign world await. Team Atea jumped in and joined the fun with these new friends. Madagascar is an understandably popular stop for world cruisers. The anchorages are numerous and well protected, the Malagasy people are welcoming, and the costs are minimal. Combine that with extraordinary biodiversity and some staggeringly delicious rum, and Madagascar should be on anyone’s itinerary. The Indian Ocean might “hold nothing” for another, but holds a world of wonder for me.

e are well off the beaten track. This is a statement that we knew would be true - there are not many (yet) that sail this route through the Northwest Passage - but it is jarring nonetheless. Over the first three weeks of the voyage, we sailed (and motored) 1,200 miles up the inside passage, across the Queen Charlotte Sound to Haida Gwaii, along Hecate Strait and Dixon Entrance to Ketchikan, and around Baranoff Island to Sitka. Plenty of boats sail along this stretch, although perhaps not quite as hastily. But when we left Sitka, we left familiar waters and well-researched anchorages. Nobody on the boat, including our captain Graeme, had been much further than Sitka. The Wagonner’s Guide stops in Ketchikan, and even our beloved Douglas Guide covers only as far north as Glacier Bay. From here on out, all we have is the useful but laborious Sailing Directions and a $1 travel guide to all of Alaska. Leaving Sitka, our first intended stop was Lituya Bay, a whale-shaped cove about 80 miles north, described to us as a protected anchorage with sweeping views and an imposing volcano that rises straight up from the sea to a jagged 12,000-foot peak. 34
DogBark! motored smoothly north in a light southeast breeze while we mapped out the coming days and researched the area, as thoroughly as our limited resources allowed. Sailing Directions did a poor job of endorsing Lituya Bay as a stop with sentences like “the entrance is dangerous and should never be attempted except at slack water” and “steep shattered cliffs at the head of the bay present a continuing hazard of avalanches; destructive waves, caused by rock falls, can occur anytime.” In search of more beta on the area, we phoned a friend (well, we texted her on the sat phone). She didn’t have much more intel for us; this was not an oftencruised coast. We called a team huddle and, over breakfast burritos and strong coffee, made the decision to forego Lituya Bay with its dangerous entrance and destructive waves, bank left and head straight across the Gulf of Alaska. The forecast looked unusually docile for the 500 nautical mile crossing, bolstering our huddle verdict. We fell into an easy “on passage” rhythm, alternating standing watch with making food, doing dishes, tackling manageable boat projects, reading and napping. As we dropped August 2018

off the mainland continental shelf that evening and watched our charted depth plummet from 500 feet to 13,000 feet, we also crossed tacks with a tug and tow bound for Homer. It was the last indication we would have of other humans until we pulled into harbor, three days later. The weather conditions were shifty but benign, and closely resembled the amalgamated forecasts we pulled each day. The light southeast breeze that ushered us through our left turn built to 20 knots behind us before clocking to our beam and slowly easing to a rolly glassy zero. Half a day later, it shifted all the way forward for a sporty 20 knots on the nose. The sun barely dipped below the horizon, generously bestowing 21 hours of daylight and three hours of a dark twilight, not quite enough light to read a book, but plenty to notice a fouled line or admire a well-trimmed sail. Apparently, we had a full moon, but the sky was buried behind a thick heavy blanket of clouds that sometimes got annoyed and spat rain at us. Like a scene from a movie, on our final morning those heavy clouds lifted and scattered as Kodiak Island came into view. The sun and the dwindling miles fortified us with new energy
as we cleaned up our passage mess, changed into something other than fleece pants and foulies, and stared down at our phones instinctively with each new ding and chime revealing news of the outside world. And then we pulled into Kodiak, a place that promptly positioned itself as my favorite cruising destination so far. Kodiak is the second largest island in the US (after Hawaii’s big island) and renowned for its unique subspecies of brown bear that weighs twice as much as its mainland cousins. The island’s spine is a ridge of jagged snow-covered peaks that softens into rolling hills of impossible green. Cliffs that plunge perilously down to rocky driftwoodstrewn beaches host thousands of nesting sea birds. Whales play and feed in the crisp clear water, and there’s a mysterious herd of free range bison on a southern peninsula. There are 13,500 people on Kodiak, half of whom live in the quaint fishing town by the same name. The channel to the marina runs along the main street of town, parading incoming boats and ensuring the entire population knew of our arrival before we stepped ashore.
They greeted us enthusiastically. Some made special trips to the dock to welcome us, many approached us with genuine curiosity about our voyage, and one even offered his truck for a provisioning run. And everyone we talked to, from the cab driver to the air traffic controller to the bartender, touted their admiration and devotion to this arctic island haven. Our time on Kodiak was much too short. We stayed “DogBark!” anchored at Kodiak Island. two nights, but I think I’d be saying the same thing if we’d stayed passage west to the Alaskan Peninsula, two months.

Against All Odds!
All-Women Team Wins the Race To Alaska By Wendy Hinman could throw at them on this 750-mile race through the Inside Passage. They earned their stripes as heroes. At their crowded victory celebration, hosted by their platinum sponsor, First Federal Bank on Bainbridge Island, the level of love and support for this team of inspiring women was palpable. Well-wishers cheered as team members shared how their effort unfolded and culminated in an impressive victory. Team captain, Jeanne Assael Goussev joked, “It all started last October after a race when fellow racer, Anna Stevens, floated the idea of doing the R2AK with an all women crew. Without thinking, I said ‘Sure!’” adding with a laugh, “I think some whiskey was involved.” She savored the reflective moment, recalling how the dream had initially struck some as overly ambitious Sweet Victory! “Team Sail Like a Girl” celebrate a hard-fought win! while relishing the
For the seven adventurers who set sail for Ketchikan on a Melges 32 without an engine or support of any kind, winning exceeded their wildest dreams. Making the front page of the Seattle Times sports section ahead of World Cup news was unimaginable. But that’s what happens when regular people do amazing things. I’m speaking, of course, of the winners of the Race to Alaska (R2AK), Team Sail Like a Girl. This all-woman team mustered the grit and the smarts to beat 43 other teams—some veterans— in this test against whatever nature

reality of their recent accomplishment. It’s a classic underdog story of people believing in themselves even when few others did. Just getting to the starting line was a challenge many doubted they could overcome. October was late to begin thinking about preparing a boat and assembling a crew for this tough race that has humbled many pedigreed sailors. Some salty competitors were on their third or fourth attempt, immediately signing up to return for yet another try at winning or at least earning the bragging rights for finishing. Goussev and Stevens didn’t even have a boat or a crew firmly in mind. Goussev, who’s raced for 20 years, and Stevens, who’s raced for six years, reached out to women sailors they knew. Morgana Buell had 20 years of sailing experience and Kate Hearsey McKay had ten. They were in. Once they had this core team of sailing talent, they did the unexpected (editor’s note: a move more sailors should mimic!): they considered adding team members with little-to-no sailing experience. From the outset, these women wanted to break the mold
and shatter stereotypes. They chose the team name Sail Like a Girl to take what’s often been hurled as an insult and turn it around, to show the unique talents of women. They ought to know. As busy professionals, mothers, and athletes, they’ve used creative problem solving to balance the needs of kids and partners with the challenges of careers in finance, logistics, public health and oncology, business analysis and consulting, coaching, occupational therapy, and information technology. Through this effort, they aimed to show that women, even women new to sailing, could take on something difficult like this and, through teamwork, succeed. “I wanted this to be about something bigger than ourselves. I wanted to inspire women to take chances, do things that scare them.” Goussev reached out to women she knew on Bainbridge Island, who might not have had the sailing background but had that certain something that made them tough as nails for the challenge ahead. Neither Aimee Fulwell nor Kelly Adamson Danielson were sailors. But they were athletes
with a sense of adventure. Aimee Fulwell became team manager, putting her planning, communication, and organizational skills to work on their campaign. She’s active in watersports and took an accelerated approach to learning the sailing skills she’d need on the race course. Kelly Adamson Danielson, a triathlete, did the same. Allison Ekberg Dvaladze hadn’t sailed since high school but possessed a natural feel for sailing. The result was right mix of personalities to create a dynamic of team-mindedness and enthusiasm. The team grew organically, though Jeanne was still eager to sign on another experienced driver. Besides crew, it was clear that this effort would need both funding and careful planning, and, of course, a boat. In January, Goussev found a Melges 32 that showed promise as a race vehicle, though it had been neglected and needed all sorts of refurbishment and preparation for more rugged conditions than the round-the-buoys this racer was designed to handle. The team invested hundreds of hours meticulously replacing wires and bolts and completely rebuilding a twin

screw pedal-drive they’d purchased secondhand from California so they could make progress even if there wasn’t any wind. They spent multiple nights each week practicing aboard, studying the course and the currents, and talking strategy with mentors for this highly tactical race. Meanwhile, they raised funds for the boat, equipment, and supplies to carry them through this unpredictable stretch of water. Team members began selling t-shirts on their website and their enthusiasm was contagious. When I saw Kate (who raced with my husband and me on T-birds) and Jeanne drumming up support at the Seattle Boat Show in January, I yearned to join their effort. (Book tour obligations kept me from participating this year, but it wasn’t from a lack of desire.) Those fundraising efforts led them to their last crew member, and that elusive second driver. Haley Lhamon, who coaches sailing on Bainbridge and has been sailing most of her life, met them at the January boat show. She began training with them, but wasn’t sure she could race because her oldest son would

graduate from high school between leg 1 and leg 2 of the race. Though logistics would be tight, Goussev said, “There’s a 9am flight that can get you back here in time for the start of leg 2. No problem. We’ll make it work.” With little time to spare, and thanks to the help of friends, family, and generous donors, the project gelled in time for a shakedown race Swiftsure. Though the region’s most storied distance race is often renamed “drift-sure” for light winds, this year delivered the kind of rough weather conditions that the team might encounter on the way to Alaska. Sailing the blustery Strait of Juan de Fuca on their R2AK boat in those conditions broke neither their boat nor their spirit, but gave them a chance to identify areas of opportunity for gear and teamwork. Defying the naysayers, they made it to the starting line in Port Townsend. They proceeded to impress, ringing the bell as the second boat into Victoria during the first leg of R2AK, while eight of the 39 teams who planned to go to Ketchikan retired during that crossing. On Sunday June 17, a mix of vessels set off on the long haul (Victoria to Ketchikan) with high hopes. So did these women, their 3,700-lb day-racer loaded up with more than a ton of gear. “Out on the water, life boiled down to the basics -- eating, sleeping, keeping hydrated, and keeping the boat moving,” Goussev said. The crew fueled their efforts with dehydrated Good To-Go meals—heating 2 cups of water at a time on their Jetboil stove— and snacks from a huge grab bag. The “facilities” consisted of a bucket with a clipped-on toilet seat. “We were roughing it, for sure,” Goussev said with a laugh. They kept at it in threehour shifts, and slept two at a time in a tight, coffin-like space, which kept them safely nestled in as the boat rocketed off of waves. At one point, they endured wind speeds of 37 knots and short choppy waves that made for a lively motion aboard. They may have been tired, cold, hungry, sleepdeprived and soaked from constant exposure to the elements with no place to hide, but they kept up their spirits with humor and made a point of looking out for one another. Part of the mission for Team Sail Like a Girl was to raise money and 38
awareness for the fight against breast cancer. They all drew inspiration from this effort during the race. The team posted names of people they knew who had fought or were fighting the disease in the cabin of the boat, and each team member team carried thoughts of those women to fuel their R2AK fire. “Whenever I felt a moment of weakness or exhaustion, I’d just go down and look at those names and think, ‘This is nothing in comparison to what these women are battling,’” Goussev said. The race started with light winds and hot weather and they left their foulies packed as they rotated duties on the cleverly designed pedal drive. Not only were there two pedaling stations, but the entire system could cant in either direction, allowing it to be operable when sailing heeled-over. With this innovation, they could pedalsail in a variety of conditions. Pedal power turned out to be their secret weapon. They estimate that nearly 50% of their race was aided by pedal power. “Our entire existence out there was to make that boat move. And we never dropped the ball on that for an instant,” Goussev said. While jostling for the lead on the third day in Johnstone Strait, the wind died and the current was against them. The other two teams anchored, but these intrepid women tried to overcome the adverse current. They pedaled and pedaled, barely making a knot of headway after three hours. It was enough to reach the new wind first. Their prospects looked good for finishing in the top three boats, yet their dream nearly ended just north of Bella Bella when they hit a 15+ foot floating log at 2am. According to Haley Lhamon, they had been sailing about 6 knots with a Code 0 (which they dubbed the unicorn sail) in total darkness with no moon. “It felt like a car crash,” Goussev said. “The boat just stopped.” The log wedged between the keel and the rudder and the crew spent hours under flashlight trying to extract it and assessing whether the collision had damaged the hull. Goussev explained, “We were in an incredibly remote place. The Coast Guard was probably a 30-hour rescue away.” They imagined evacuation scenarios and notified the Coast Guard in case damage proved August 2018

fatal. Fortunately it didn’t, but they lost time sailing slowly until they could inspect the hull in daylight. They felt demoralized until a weak cell phone signal delivered a text message from Stevens’ son that said they were still in the lead! They hit the pedals and pushed past their exhaustion. “Our goal was to look back, reflect and say, ‘We sailed this boat the best we could,’ Hearsey McKay said. The racing was so tight that, despite being in the lead, the women were never sure they would win until they reached the finish. Diehard fans kept vigil via the race tracker, and others waited dockside through heavy rain late into the night to greet the winners. Their midnight cheers offered an audible guide towards the finish line in the darkness. After 6 days, 13 hours and 17 minutes of tough sailing, the crew stepped off the boat together and rang the victory bell just seventeen minutes past midnight. They were exultant. Only 21 teams finished, with the final team arriving in Ketchikan on July 9, three weeks after the race start and fifteen days after Team Sail Like a Girl. They proved that women can be competitive and successful in this sport and set an example of how to work as a team to achieve great things. “Through this we discovered our inner warrior by pushing ourselves to do things we didn’t know we could do.” Goussev said. “We hope this will inspire more girls to get into sailing, be courageous, and follow their dreams.” Team Sail Like a Girl donated their $10,000 win to the Pink Boat Regatta in support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The cause hits home for these women. At the victory party, Pink Boat regatta organizers were thrilled to celebrate their contribution and the sailors’ participation in the coming regatta on September 8th. In addition to the team’s donation, their sponsor, First Federal, presented a check for $5,000 to their Pink Boat regatta effort at the victory party. It’s a great head start.

he best part of sailing is the sailing, but boat projects can keep us all in port if we do not keep ahead of them. Fortunately, there are many projects we can tackle when we are away from the dock enjoying our boats in the way they were intended! There can be advantages to doing certain projects under way, even if it is simply the advantage of not needing to hurry through and having time to think. Let’s consider some projects which particularly lend themselves to being done away from the dock, and take note of what we must pay more attention to when working on a project while sailing or at anchor. Later on, we’ll focus specifically on our favorite little job on a cruise - whipping line ends. The single most important aspect of any project that will be undertaken away from the dock is planning ahead. You could say this is true of all projects, but, when you will be attempting to complete the project away from easy access to parts and materials, this becomes even more paramount. Even if you can get to a marine chandlery or hardware store in, for example, the San Juan islands, they will not have the same inventory of one in Seattle. Access to 110 Volts of AC power is another limiting factor when planning work away from the dock. Battery operated power tools can go a long way, but you must still have a way to charge them and that generally means AC power for at least an hour with lithium batteries. If you need to do any sanding or vacuuming, you will almost certainly need an inverter or generator, unless you are planning to do it by hand. Technically, almost any project that does not require a haul-out or crane can be done at anchor, but here are some projects that are particularly well suited to being done under way: inspecting your rigging (we wrote an article on this topic, “Check that Rigging” in the July 2011 issue of 48° North); any wiring project, perhaps other than rewiring the whole boat; adding netting to lifelines (Figure 1); winch maintenance (see our article in the April 2013 48° North); mast tuning, since the finer points actually need to be done, or at least tested, under sail; gelcoat repair (48° North article from July 2014); and varnishing (our topic from the September 2016 issue).
Whipping Line Ends And Other Projects To Do Away from the Dock By Alex and Jack Wilken
It’s important to note that certain projects have environmental risks if completed while the boat is in the water, especially those that involve sanding or chemicals. Varnish, minor gelcoat repair, and paint touch up may be done on the water, but precautions must be taken to ensure that sanding dust and other containments are contained. Tape, plastic, and a vacuum are tools you should expect to use if tackling these projects while the boat is in the water (whether or not you’re away form the dock). Another thing to consider is that you do not necessarily have to totally complete a project while sailing. You can simply get a good chunk of it done. For example, with gelcoat repair, you do not have to spray the gelcoat on when away from the dock. You could simply grind out the cracks or holes and fill them, then sand the filler smooth in preparation for gelcoat or paint to be applied later. You can also put the finishing touches on an existing

project, like if you had applied the gelcoat before leaving, but took the time while away to wet sand and buff it out. Similar concepts can be applied to any other project. Painting and varnishing gain some particular advantages from being done at anchor in the summer. Namely, good weather. I once helped a customer with a small painting project on their aft deck during the winter. It was, of course, windy and rainy, and he had carefully created a tent (which could be heated) over the area with tarps. We built up many layers of thick primer, so we could sand and fair the area out in preparation for the final color coats. But every time we painted on the color coat it was full of debris. At first, we thought it was blowing under the tarp, and then that the brushes were shedding, or the paint was contaminated… After much frustration and meticulous preparation, we were sure we had eliminated all the sources of debris and, as we applied the coat, all

varnish project. There are many other projects that can be ideal to doing when on a cruise. Some examples are: whipping lines or splicing (or indeed any marlinspike seamanship), sewing projects (including sail repair), and o rg a n i z i n g Figure 2: ‘A’ Loop laid on line ready to be wrapped. ‘B’ storage.

If you don’t have access to even select your location for better AC power, there are small torches often weather.

If you do addition to the lack of rain, the winds not want to whip the line end with tend to be lighter in summer than whipping twine, you can shrink tube winter, and out at anchor, you have it (with marine shrink tube, since reduced likelihood that dust, debris, non-marine shrink tube has no epoxy and bugs might affect your paint or inside and will slide off). The shrink tube approach is faster, but perhaps not as satisfying and cool as a true whipped end (Figure 1). There are many variants of whipping knots, some that involve stitching and some that don’t. Our preferred whipping knot is Figure 3: ‘A’ Loop has been pulled under the wraps, the two tied as follows: ends are ready for stitching or to be trimmed. ‘B’ Starting the first Cut a length of stitch across the wraps at 90° to where the line comes out from waxed whipping under the wraps. ‘C’ Needle has been pulled through one third of twine about 4-5 the way around the line from where it went in. feet long. It’s 40

better to be too long than too short - if it’s too long, you can cut it down; if it’s just short, you may have to start again. Then, lay a loop along the line with several inches left before the end below the loop (Figure 2A). Then begin to wrap around the line from the base of the loop (Figure 2B). Continue wrapping so that the total whipped knot width is at least as great as the width of the line. Then, thread the end which you have been wrapping through the loop (Figure 2C). Pull the knot under the wraps till it is in about the middle (Figure 3A). Then thread the needle with the longer end of the remaining twine. You want to end up with 3 stitches evenly spaced around the line. With 3-strand line these are laid into the spaces between the strands making spacing them evenly easy. On double braid line, there are no such easy references. You can, considering this knot could be used without the stitches, use only one stitch, or two, or an even four, and stitch straight along the line’s length, for simple geometry. We prefer three stitches evenly spaced in a twisting pattern that duplicates the look of whipping on a 3-strand line. In addition to the visual aspect, this has the advantage that, if done correctly, you can end the stitching so the lines are next to each other and can be tied off and trimmed without having to double back or push the needle through diagonally from top to bottom to get everything in the right place. To do this, start the first stitch on the other side of the wraps 90° to where the twine comes out from under the wrap (Figure 3B). Then, push it through so that it exits a third of the way around the line (Figure 3C). Cross the wraps again and start the next stitch 90° from where you started it. Matching the first stitch, push the needle through a third of the way around the line from the first two ready for the last stitch. For the last stitch, repeat as you did with the second, but make sure that you exit at the same point as the other end of the twine coming out from under the wraps (Figure 4A). Tie off the two ends of the twine with a square knot and trim off the extra (Figure 4B & 4C). Notice that we have left room past the whipping to cut off the line with a line cutting gun (Figure 5A). Be careful

Once the line end is trimmed, you can blunt the edges of the end to make sure it doesn’t catch on anything and that all the fibers are melted together (Figure 5B & C). Sometimes, you discover something that needs to be done that you would never have known about had you not gone sailing, like “that line should really run back to the cockpit,”
or “that halyard needs to be replaced.” If you cannot deal with it as soon as you discover it, make it a priority when you get back to the dock so it will not keep you in port longer than need be. In the golden days of sail, it was common to carry a complete replacement set of rigging, sails, and even replacement spars. It was possible to make truly impressive repairs while still at sea, if need be, but the goal was to carefully maintain the ship so that such drastic repairs were unnecessary. Such constant upkeep included: coats and coats of paint and varnish, constant cleaning, polishing, splicing, and mending. The saying “Idle hands are the devils tools” inferred that all the work was needed to keep the crew in line, but no merchant ship would carry more crew than was needed to keep the ship running. Materials have improved but the sea is as hard on the boat as ever, and we have more and more complicated equipment to break down. The first non-stop circumnavigation was not made until 1969. It was probably impractical to do so earlier

We can now attempt to maintain our boats with relatively small crews (sometimes a crew of one), but maintain them we must if we wish to keep sailing.

Galley Essentials with Amanda After our North Sea crossing, having dined on North Ronaldsay lamb, we set sail for rugged Fair Isle, located midway between Scotland and Shetland. Our plan was to spend two nights waiting for forecasted fresh northeast headwinds to diminish, but by noon the wind was still offering a favorable passage, so we continued to Shetland. The 14 knot SE winds provided a fun, smooth broad reach for the 31-miles to Shetland’s southernmost east bay, Grutness Voe, located around the corner from the impressive Sumburgh Head lighthouse, yet another built by the family of Robert Louis Stevenson. It’s an amazing clifftop trail run to the stunning lighthouse; and its supporting buildings which have been turned into an impressive visitor center, a restored vacation cottage as it would have been in Stevenson’s day, a visiting artist residency, and café serving yummy treats (you can download recipes at www.stumburghhead.com/cafe). Soon the predicted frontal passage arrived with 35 knot winds, making our evening anchorage at Levenwick Bay a surfers delight and a zippy passage to the expedition’s end in Lerwick. Over a few drams and curries we caught up with Marlyse Boller and Peter Smith on Kiwi Roa. They entertained us with stories of Morocco, Peter’s Rocna and Vulcan anchor designs, and whether they should circumnavigate Svalbard or transit the NW Passage. As Lerwick’s waterfront was in full summer bustle with cruise ships, ferries, roadworks, and visiting yachts, John decided to set sail in a gale for Whalsay Island 12 miles north Lerwick. Discovering it full of the offshore fishing fleet we sailed on to the mainland village of Vadlin. Here we delighted in a

Thai Fish Cakes 1 thumb ginger - diced 1 shallot - diced 6 cloves garlic ½ cup cilantro 2 limes - juice and zest 16 oz firm white fish cooked and diced 1 tablespoon fish sauce 2 tablespoons sesame seeds 1 teaspoon paprika (plus additional for sprinkling) 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes salt to taste 2 tablespoons sesame oil lime wedges Place ginger, shallot, garlic, cilantro, zest and juice into food processor; pulse until well chopped. Add fish, fish sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, paprika and arrowroot flour; pulse until well mixed. Form mixture into patties. Heat a large skillet, add sesame oil then allow pan to get hot before sautéing cakes until brown and crispy on each side adding sesames seeds after a minute of cooking each side. Serve sprinkled with paprika and lime wedges. We sailed back to Lerwick to pick up our new crew, and we soon sailed north on a crackin’ 22-mile broad reach to Yell Island to enjoy hikes along the misty green cliffs and a visit to the quaint museum. The next day our navigators correctly calculated the Yell Sound tides, which run up to 7 knots, and as we departed Shetland for the Faroe Islands, 180 miles north the skies were clear. Our passage was a mixed bag - some sweet broad reaching and a little motoring as we arrived at Vagur, a deep bay nearly splitting Sundroy Island in half. After tying up in a fishing harbor, we didn’t want to waste the brilliant midnight sun, so we embarked on a late evening hike up the impressive hillsides, then dined on grilled fish and a nourishing kale salad at 2:00 am. “Catch of the Day” - cod & whiting.

Kale, Nectarine and Quinoa Salad 1 cup quinoa 1¾ cups water 3 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons apricot jam 1 tablespoon course-grain mustard 2 garlic cloves - minced ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper 4 cups kale - sliced 4 fresh nectarines - sliced ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion ⅓ cup almonds Cook quinoa in water. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, jam, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper. Add kale, nectarines, onion, almonds, and quinoa. Serves 4. After sleeping in, our next stop, 37 miles north, was Torshavn. It bills itself as the world’s smallest capital city, although with a population of 13,000, it really feels more like a friendly small town. The very active harbor front boating club makes visiting yachts feel extremely welcome. Wanting to experience more of the countryside, we went touring with a van and driver.
When tummies began rumbling at northern cliffside village of Gjogv, we descended on the charming Gjaargardur Guesthouse and enjoyed a variation on the following soup. As a final treat before leaving for Scotland Helge, surprised us with a delectable crumble. Broccoli, Turmeric & Coconut Soup 2 garlic cloves - mashed 1 thumb ginger - finely grated 1 thumb turmeric - finely grated 1 tablespoon olive oil 14 oz can coconut milk 20 oz water 10 oz broccoli - chopped 10 oz cauliflower - chopped 6 oz kale - torn from stems salt and pepper In a saucepan sauté garlic, ginger and turmeric in oil until soft.

Serves 4.
Rhubarb Strawberry Crumble 1½ cups flour ½ cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar 1½ teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt - divided 6 tablespoons (¾ stick) chilled unsalted butter - cubed ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sour cream 3½ cups rhubarb - sliced 3½ cups strawberries - sliced ¼ cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice ¼ cup quick-cooking tapioca Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl whisk together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Add butter; using your fingertips, incorporate until pea-size lumps remain. Mix in sour cream. Knead in bowl until a biscuit-like dough forms, 5-7 turns. In another bowl combine remaining ingredients. Pour filling into 9-inch pie dish and scatter with crumble mix. Bake 40 minutes. Serves 4.

San Juan 24 North American Championship Fifteen San Juan 24s from around the Salish Sea lined up in Penn Cove on July 14th and 15th for the Fleet’s North American Championship, but one, Ekono Juan from Orcas Island, dominated the event with eight bullets in 11 races to claim its third consecutive championship. Despite Ekono Juan’s wins, the races were closely matched – six other boats claimed at least one second place, and often the race committee had to closely watch three or four boats crossing the finish line overlapped; It was one-design racing at its best.
Sailing with Ryan Forbes on Ekono Juan were Ian Wareham (helm), Chris Kaufman and Justin Blevins. Grauer Geist, skippered by Ken Johnson, finished second for the regatta, with consistent top four finishes in all but one race, followed by Dave Steckman’s Renaissance, which finished the second half of the regatta strongly with two firsts, two seconds and two thirds, to claim third overall. Bruce, from Bellingham and skippered by Mike Kleps, which was 2nd in 2017, was 4th overall and Mark Bradner ’s Return from

Seattle, a previous North American champion, followed closely in 5th. Consistent quality starts, sharp upwind tactics and downwind speed proved the difference among the top boats. One challenge for the weekend were the significant tides. The low each day was between noon and 1:00pm (a -2 feet), an hour or two into the racing. This was matched with high tides of over 10 feet! Thus the famous Penn Cove counterclockwise current grew increasingly stronger during each afternoon’s racing. The westerly came in just before 11:00am on Saturday and delayed racing a bit on Sunday. It provided a challenging series of lifts and headers irrespective of what tack one was on, 8-11 knots of wind made perfect #1 jib racing. The Race Committee, headed by Byron Skubi as PRO, ran a series of excellent windward-leeward races, quietly moving the marks between races to adjust for the ever-changing conditions. Seven races were run on Saturday, exhausting the Fleet, followed by a more moderate four on Sunday. The second race on Saturday proved a harbinger of the weekend – Grauer Geist had a good lead going around the last weather mark but sailed into a light wind spot before gybing for the downwind finish. Ekono Juan gybed earlier and ran a puff down the course ever-closing on Grauer Geist – just before the finish, with both boats on port, Grauer took Ekono Juan up and up until both boats were almost past the finish line, but Ekono Juan handled the tight reach-to-reach gybe back better to finish a foot or two ahead of Grauer. Starts became tighter, with two general recalls before the fourth race, aided by the building up-course current, resulted in the round-theends flag being posted to slow down the fleet. The race committee was not so patient on Sunday, and the one general recall was immediately followed by hoisting the I-Flag. It wasn’t until the fifth race of Saturday, after four firsts, that Ekono Juan had a rare buried start and Dave Steckman’s Renaissance broke through to win the race handily –
she rode the south shore current to the east to the deep set leeward marks to build a commanding lead. In the next race Ekono Juan’s #1 jib suffered a big tear after the start, and she raced without a head sail for a considerable period while the crew found the #2 jib. Grauer claimed its only win of the regatta, with Renaissance and Bruce close behind. Ekono Juan put up its #2 sail and of course the wind built a bit for the last race of the day, and she claimed her 5th first place. Going into Sunday’s races, Ekono Juan had a four point lead over Grauer, and with its one throw-out used up in last place finish in race six. She actually had little margin for error – one more buried start or bad first leg could give an opening for the trailing boats – but she claimed three firsts in the four Sunday races. Ekono Juan overcame a 6th place in the next to last race and was the deserving champion.
Penn Cove is an excellent racing venue, with challenging winds and tides to Club Manager Joe Catanio for the excellent food and drink and OHYC Commodore Larry Munns for welcoming all of us. Dick Rose gave an excellent
“Ekono Juan“ wins its third straight San Juan 24 North American Championship.
Ryan Forbes said that they fortunately had tuned Ekono Juan very well for the conditions they encountered and noted that the crew work on the boat was very good. Ken Johnson said that Grauer Geist had good starts and good windward speed that got it out of difficulties, but noted that they had to work on downwind speed as Ekono Juan, Renaissance and Bruce all seemed a bit faster under the spinnaker. The excellent Oak Harbor Yacht Club hosted the regatta, with dinners each night and coffee and sweets in the mornings before racing. Thanks

Dear Mom, Adults are crazy. I thought that WE were the ones who make trouble. I’m glad we got to do a lot of sailing, I think maybe next year I’ll be big enough to get out there on a race boat. Love, the kids Dear Mom,
We are besties, BFF’s for life! After
racing, we kept searching for the Arts and Crafts cabin to make friendship bracelets.
Holding hands IS required, and black sheep will be Red Rover called over to join the group! This fleet had all of the love and solidarity to make up for the rest of the “take no prisoners” groups on the water. Congratulations goes to Dave Schutte’s “Taj Mahal” for the win! Go team. Love, the J-80’s

Dear Mom, I am definitely lost. I fear that I have been kidnapped but I am not sure why? People keep putting weird clothes on me, they tie me up, put ribbons around my neck, and tip me over. Frankly I have no idea what happens in the night, but one morning I woke up in a tree. Please return me to Haggen, I’m getting too old for this. Love, the Haggen Cow
Dear Mom, I’m not sure why, but sailing in this group makes me hungry for some Eggs Over My Hammy! Bad coffee for everyone, all day long! In a group of unfailingly well sailed and competitive boats, who also generally win the party AND the dance floor, “Mad Dash” was victorious. Yes, they are from Point Roberts. Yes, they are really sponsored by Canadian Denny’s. Proving that they were not ordering from the kid’s menu, they also won the Overall for WIRW 2018. Honorable mention goes out to the clever t-shirt crowd on “Here and Now” for keeping the traditions alive and well and finishing second. Love, Class 5
Dear Mom, Sport boats are fun! They move even when the wind forgets to show up for the party! We all put on a good show for the rest of the crowd, and provided some good intel about which corner to hit. Who knew it was going to be a “go left” year? Well, local boy Gary Stuntz actually knew it, but anyhow… The big kid of the camp with the big white kite that eclipses the sun came out on top. Congratulations to Darrin Towe’s “Wicked Wahine” for the win in the fast boat class. Love, Class 1 www.48North.com

/Fest made its comeback to the Pacific Northwest June 23 & 24, reinvigorated by Sail Northwest in partnership with Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle. It was a two-day regatta featuring eight J/105s, five 109s, seven J/80s, ten J/24s, seven in the PHRF class (ranging from J/30s to a J/46), and two brand new J/97Es. In addition to the main event, twenty-five boats showed up for the Friday night fun race, which had a perfect 12 knot thermal. Afterwards, there were hot dogs at Shilshole for everyone. The very best part of the weekend was having so many J/Boats on the water together. The strength of the design/build principles that give these boats longevity was on display, and that was complemented by the class support focus-on-fun that have made J/Boats so popular over the decades. Saturday was a no wind event even fun boats don’t move in dead calm! But on Sunday, the northerly breeze filled in and built to a consistent eight knots.

Stuart Burnell’s experienced Tantivy crew claimed first overall in the J/109 class, while Chris Phoenix’s Jaded took first in a class of eight J/105s. The very competitive J/80 class was won by recently crowned Pacific Coast Champion, Bryan Rhodes, on Crazy Ivan. The always competitive J/24 fleet went to Lydia Volberding’s Jailbreak, thanks to posting no score outside of the top three in five races! The very diverse PHRF class, with two J/30s, a J/44, J/35, J/100, J/32, J/40 and a J/46, had Jim Bottles, from Anacortes, taking the trophy on his J/30, Celebration. The J/97E had its first one-design start in America with Rocky Smith and Scott McConell in a one-design match race. What fun to see these modern dual-purpose boats line up for some friendly competition! After the racing, CYC catered a delicious shish kebab feast.

ometimes an event occurs where everyone realizes something special or magical just happened. Such was the case the weekend of June 29 – July 1 when six, unaware, 1113 year old boys joined with two (hesitant) adults to form the nucleus of a first ever 3-day clinic at Corinthian Yacht Club Seattle. Using the venerable Hobie 16 as the main platform (and one Hobie Wa v e ) , t h e i n t re p i d sailors would head out of Shilshole Marina every day on the three 16s and Wave. Conditions could not have been better. Friday started out so light that several of the kids flipped the Wave on to its side and used the upward hull as a jumping/diving platform into the Puget Sound waters. When the wind filled in they got a shot at some light air sailing. Saturday saw a nice
medium breeze on flat waters, which gave everyone the opportunity to practice trapezing out over the water on their way to West Point for a picnic on the beach. Sunday came with even stronger breeze and lumpy waters which really tested the new Hobie sailors with double trapezing and flying of hulls as they raced around a

In addition to the use of the downstairs for classroom instruction, boats were stored in the evening on their floating dock. The students got a LOT of sailing time in varied conditions. Hobie Division 4 sponsored the event, in conjunction with the Multihull Youth SAIL Foundation – a newly formed non-profit foundation dedicated to getting more kids out on multihulls. Additional clinics have been requested for both youth and women.

quality yachts from swiftsureyachts.com From the dock, at anchor or while under sail, some yachts just exude beauty. Alert is one of them. A Lyman-Morse Seguin 44, she was designed by Sparkman & Stephens and was skillfully built in Maine. Her pedigree alone speaks volumes about how she handles in a seaway and is comfortable to live aboard. But Alert’s impeccable care and well thought out systems are what make this boat a classic. Alert’s current owners have shown her an incredible amount of devotion both in detail and in making upgrades to keep her modern, safe and seaworthy. Her interior and exterior wood have been beautifully maintained, and cruising gear includes Northstar AGM batteries, a Harken power cabin top winch, bow thruster, watermaker, Icom 802 SSB and more. To truly appreciate Alert, though, she must be seen. Find out more at SwiftsureYachts.com or schedule an appointment to see her. Alert Lyman-Morse 44 1982 • $169,000
