Why 48°N Does a Learn To Sail Issue Not too long ago, in the humble offices of the good ship 48° North, our crew pondered a simple question: Should we do a Learn to Sail Issue again this year? Most of our readers already know how to sail, nearly 90% of you already own boats! Though we deliberated, the answer was a resounding yes. I thought I’d share our thought process with you. Each of us is passionately committed to growing the sport of sailing, and thus we are passionate about helping others learn to sail. We are individuals with different backgrounds and motivations, but we are all uniquely interested in and invested in the learn to sail ethos. We not only think it’s important, we think it’s a fun and fascinating process, one that’s full of value, fulfillment, and possibility. For Savannah, the member of our office who is newest to sailing, the life aboard has inspired a love for that community that she hopes to expand. And, admittedly, her own interest in the Learn to Sail Issue mirrors her own desire to expand her knowledge of sailing to complement her affinity for the boat life. For Karen, interest in learning to sail looks more like empowerment: for her children (who are already good sailors in their own right) to take the next steps in their sailing adventures; for her friends who always seem to be asking how to get into sailing; and for anyone who has been dreaming about it, but needs that extra push. Michael’s commitment to helping others learn to sail is almost too broad to sum up. He is a believer in the profound power of the Sea Scouts, the program that gave him his start, and that continues to be a viable, if unheralded, pathway into sailing. He believes in college sailing, which sent he and his rag tag team of really good PNW hippie sailors to highfalutin regattas around the country. Additionally, you might not know that Michael has volunteered more time than any of us could account for helping open up the world of sailing (and all outdoor activities) to those who are less privileged or less physically able. For me, it feels like my wheelhouse, like my life’s work. Teaching kids at summer camp, trying to cultivate a culture at a sailing club that was so fun that my adult clients felt like kids at camp, and now at the helm of 48°N, fostering sailing excitement and progression has been my modus operandi for most of my working years. My personal commitment to the Learn to Sail Issue is driven by my unwavering belief that sailing is WAY more accessible than newcomers typically perceive, and by my simultaneous knowledge that sailing can and should be even more inclusive and more accessible than it is today. The other big reason we find it essential to do a Learn to Sail Issue is because, as time goes by, the opportunities to go sailing only continue to expand and diversify. There are as many ways to learn to sail, or expand your knowledge, as there are points on a compass. These pathways need and deserve the spotlight, and we don’t even scratch the surface with this issue. Plus, you now have a current resource when your non-sailing friends ask, “Hey, where should I learn to sail?” For me, and I hope for you, this serves as a reminder that none of us is ever a finished product when it comes to sailing; that the surest way to recognize someone who doesn’t know much about sailing is if they tell you they’ve got it all figured out. In this issue, in addition to our Sailing Schools of the PNW and BC Guide (page 28), we highlight some of these points along the learning spectrum: those who are learning to go from crew to skipper (page 26), experienced liveaboards who are learning about the differences between their former experiences and world cruising (page 36), and a local sailor who is learning how magnificently synergistic it is to work as a part of winning race crew (page 24). We’re all learning to sail. We are always learning to sail. Doesn’t that make us insanely lucky? And why wouldn’t we share the love? I’ll see you on the water! Joe Cline, Editor, 48° North 6

Just reading the interesting (but also amusing) article on measurement differences (48° North Feb 2017). Jamie and Behan have obviously spent some time with Aussies, the ‘lingua franca’ (or should that be lingua Ozca?) being spot on. As if the measurement differences weren’t complicated enough, the American/English/Manglish dilemma is further complicated when we think about the problem of pronunciation. You may not be aware we Aussies often have trouble understanding your American accent and idiom. Stop laughing. I’m serious! For example, when many American English speakers refer to the flat-plane, wall-hung device that reflects one’s visage, it sounds like they are referring to the old Soviet Space Station, Mir. In English, we pronounce this object ‘meer-raw’. Two syllables. The internet is absolutely full of examples of ‘manglish’ (which I though was ‘mangled-English’, but is, apparently, shorthand for ‘Malaysian English’), in which non-nativeEnglish speakers have presumed a greater knowledge of grammar and spelling than they, in fact, possess, when producing signage and ‘information’ for tourists. Heck, we even do it to ourselves! A famous roadside sign in Australia is ‘Falling Rocks Do Not Stop’. Not only do we live in the Land Down Under, on the ‘bottom’ of the world, but the laws of physics apparently don’t apply here either! Oh, and, for the record - if you go into a chemist (drugstore) and ask for a ‘rubber’, you will be handed not a prophylactic but rather a chunk of the stuff. You’d know it as an ‘eraser’ - for deleting pencilled notes from charts and Pilot Books. Now, if you told your better half you were using a rubber on the charts, you might find yourself either divorced or wearing one of those jackets with no sleeves that buttons down the back. On the other hand, if I answered ‘20’ when a lady asked ‘how long’, might she be impressed, and would you be jealous? Or not? Think about it.

Well done, Mark. You’ve caught me (and even the worldcircling Giffords, I suppose) in a little bit of egocentrism. You’re right though, English is a complicated, enigmatic, living language! Whether written in the pages of a sailing rag like this, displayed on signs around the world, or spoken in real time, there’s seldom only one right answer. Funny, that sounds a bit like... you guessed it...Sailing! www.48North.com

Well, Charley, as a matter of fact, that did happen. But, dear reader, what you might like to know is that Charley himself helped us out by putting the SARC info into that Google calendar. Charley’s request came at deadline time, and our team was slammed. So, man of action that he is, Charley updated the SARC Google calendar for anyone to use. This is just a note to say a heartfelt THANKS! Now, you may find the SARC in hard copy at your yacht club or chandlery, online at 48north.com/SARC, or in the Google Calendar (which may be easiest for you to find by doing a Google search). Mainly, thanks for the help, Charley!

April 6-9 Do you want to cruise in the San Juan Islands, all the way to Southeast Alaska, or exotic locations around the world? You can find the boat of your dreams at the Anacortes Boat Show. The 20th Anniversary Anacortes Boat Show, sponsored by The Anacortes Yacht Brokers, Anacortes Marine Trade Association, and Savi Bank, will take place at the Cap Sante Marina. What began as a small show 20 years ago with five brokerage offices displaying about 30-40 small to medium size boats, has grown into a regional event where 15 yacht sales offices will be showing 100 power and sailboats ranging from trailerable sport and fishing boats to large yachts capable of cruising the world. The Anacortes Boat Show is free with plenty of free parking. Above the docks, 30 marine related vendors in the display tent will be showing the latest equipment and presenting information on their services. Anacortes has grown into a major boating center with approximately 2,500 boats moored in five marinas plus another 1,000 boats stored on dry land. It also has five boatyards. There are over 40 marine trades businesses that do just about everything for a boat. Contact: Mike Mullenberg at mike@shearwatermg.com or (425) 998-8731 or check: http://anacortesboatshow.com

No Return Ticket is the rollicking story of the Endymion, her crew, and her captain, a successful businessman who walked away from the glitz of California for a dream shared by millions - sailing off to the jawdropping beauty of the South Pacific with only the wind and whim guiding the journey. But ,dreams have a way of waking to reality. On the eve of casting off, thieves steal the yacht, and set it ablaze on a desolate Mexican
beach. Tracking the thieves, the author captures them at gunpoint in a bar, but lands himself in the same Mexican jail. Later, outward bound across the Pacific on Endymion II, the crew is forced to play chicken with a pirated freighter. They’re knocked down mid-ocean. They sail right into a military coup. And crossing from New Caledonia to Australia, they
manage to survive the most violent storm ever recorded in the Tasman Sea. This is a fast-paced story of a man pressing on with his dream in the face of fear, lifethreatening events, and - most of all - a crew less invested in the dream, but whose help he needs to survive. No Return Ticket, A True Yarn of 20th Century Adventure at Sea by Captain Skip Rowland, $18. 95.

The jet stream, a narrow air current flowing from west to east at about 20,000 feet in the atmosphere that influences storms and pressure systems at the surface, was discovered by World War II bomber pilots.
Rogue waves can swallow entire ships or tear them in half.
Sea breezes from the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico collide over the warm and humid Florida peninsula, producing thunderstorms and the associated lightning that makes Florida the lightning capital of the United States.
The oceans contain about 170 times more living space than all Earth’s other environments.
In 2005, the Atlantic Ocean produced a record-breaking 15 hurricanes, and a record-breaking four hurricanes amongst them that attained category 5 level. The height of waves depends on the fetch, the distance the waves can run without meeting an obstacle.
Namibia’s Skeleton Coast is so named because of the 1,000 ships wrecked there.
Microscopic phytoplankton in the world’s oceans produce almost half of all the world’s oxygen through photosynthesis. Zooplankton are the animals that feed on phytoplankton. There are more plant species on the island of Borneo (world’s third largest) than in all of Africa. Coral reefs protect about 15 percent of the world’s coastlines from erosion.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
Teeth, that’s what these birds are all about. We have no notion of this when watching a pair swim by in the marina, but check out the toothy smile on these critters. Birds, of course, don’t have teeth! Instead, the common merganser’s bill has been modified to really look as if they have very formidable teeth. It’s a good example of evolution. Without this toothy modification, they’d hang onto fewer fish – and would have probably failed as a species. With the ‘teeth’ - well, they’re fish-catching dynamos. And the teeth structure also helps drain water from their mouth as they come to the surface with a struggling fish. A PhD engineer couldn’t have done better.
Local common mergansers nest in rivers that drain into the Salish Sea, and in winter they simply move downstream to fish, usually in channels with swift currents where schools of fish also hang out. In spring, they return to their summer homes in the mountains to nest in tree cavities carved out by woodpeckers, usually overhanging the stream they make a living with. These ‘sawbills’ must be good at it, because nests usually have 6 to 17 eggs (indicating good nesting ability but possibly not so good results after the ‘kids’ leave home). 17 baby ducks – think about that one! These are one of my favorite Salish Sea birds. They alway seem elegant, in control, and emotionally above the nasty scrapping of gulls and crows. My kind of bird!

“Talk to me!” the skipper barks. “Talk to me!” “Blue boat’s a half a length on starboard with Tomorrow’s Money closing in on your port,” answers the tactician. The boat accelerates. We’re racing at 8 knots close-hauled, showing our underside and maybe even our keel. With the remaining crew planted on the highside, I’m in the hole stuffing my chute. If you’re foredeck, you’re responsible for the spinnaker; nobody else stuffs the kite. If it goes up twisted, you’re the one to pay. 24
March 2017
Sweating inside my foulweather gear from the adrenaline rush, I go topside with my stuffed chute and maneuver forward, grabbing handholds to keep my balance on the wet, pitching surface as more spray showers the deck. Thank God for my foulies! The mark is two boat-lengths away. The bag in place, I clip the halyard, attach the downhaul, secure the topping lift, and fasten the tack to the pole. I thumbs-up the crew. The guy is pulled. The topping lift hoists. The downhaul holds the pole. www.48North.com
The pounding rush of hull against waves bears down on us and the skipper commands, “Buoy room!” Blue boat is so close, but rules force them to allow us room to negotiate the mark. The snapping of Kevlar and the grind of winches sound close enough to touch. “Set the pole!” screams our skipper. The blue boat is almost on our stern, but we’re at the mark. I pop the cover. The jib comes down. The chute explodes into dazzling color and we’re around the mark for the downwind leg. As in a dance, Skipper, the trimmer, and I execute the jibe, and we’re off! “Yes!” audibly breathes the crew as they fling jackets down the hatch. Amid arm-pumping and high-fiving, I’m tying down the genoa and fast-footin’ off the pointy end before the skipper has time to yell at me.
“Sailing is the ultimate team sport. Every move must be made in concert. Oh, to be a part of it! What synergy!”
The crashing of the windward leg gives way to calm on the downhill run. Crew adjust their positions for the spinnaker play. “Come on, keep it flying.” “Watch the curl.” “Don’t let it collapse.” “Play it; not too tight.” “Lower the pole.” “Let it out.”
“Feel the wind; it’s a dance.” “Keep it full.” “Pole forward; Tighten up.” One lapse of attention and the chute collapses. “There goes my hat!” And then, to my surprise – wouldn’t believe it if I was not seeing it! – with both hands playing the spinnaker, Suze catches my hat with the toes of her right foot and sends it down the companionway. Sailing is the ultimate team sport. Every move must be made in concert. Oh, to be a part of it! What synergy! There’s never time for complacency, even when you seem way out ahead and are flying to the finish line. “There’s the gun.” “Who got the gun?” “We got the gun?!!” Millie Magner has a life-time of adventures and mishaps as a sailor, cyclist, and writer around Seattle.

When Sailors Learn to Sail By Lisa Cole
I’ve been sailing most of my life, but I didn’t really learn to sail until I was in my 30s and was faced with the reality of being a solo boat owner, a story you might recall from my article in the March 2015 issue of 48° North. The impetus for my journey was my divorce and the division of property (I ended up with the boat). The outcome for me was an incredible feeling of empowerment and a US Coast Guard Master’s license. I’m captivated by this choice - for someone to acknowledge that even though they’ve been sailing (maybe a lot), they need to really learn, especially because it is so relevant to my own story. Perhaps the only thing more powerful than tracking a sailor’s arc from crew to skipper is to see them come into their own, to feel the confidence, the strength, and the freedom that comes from owning their self sufficiency in an 26
activity in which they’ve been involved in for some great amount of time. A few of these stories stand out. Joan and her husband planned for retirement, bought their dream cruising boat, and spent one wonderful summer in the San Juan Islands. When he unexpectedly passed away, Joan didn’t want to sell the boat. Two years later, however, the boat had not left the dock. Joan was a sailor, but something kept her off the water. Eventually, she acknowledged her biggest fear in being a solo skipper wasn’t the sailing at all, it was leaving and returning to the dock. With this spirit of self-awareness, Joan reached out to a local sailing forum, and immediately, several people responded that they would help her practice docking. These steps produced not only a confident skipper, but one with some new cruising pals who joined Joan for cruises that summer. March 2017

Sandra and Tom sailed together on their 40’ boat for seven years before they had children; dozens of trips, and hundreds of happy sailing memories. They planned on teaching the kids to sail and going on family cruising adventures. When the time came to start taking the kids out, Sandra was suddenly terrified. Tom was usually at the helm. Plus, he was a big guy. If he somehow fell off the boat, not only would she not know what to do with the boat, she wouldn’t know how to get him back on board. Her fear of putting the kids in danger kept them from moving forward with their goals. As time went by, the kids got old enough to start learning to sail dinghies, but Sandra was still afraid to sail as a family on the bigger boat. It started to create tension. Then, Sandra had that moment that so reminds me of my own, and of Joan’s. Despite years of sailing experience, Sandra’s lack of confidence with her own skills had held her back; that changed when she decided to find some sailing help, sign up for lessons, and conquer the fear. She and the instructor agreed that after some basic sailing review, their focus would be on crew overboard drills. Her instructor also gave her a “homework assignment.” She, Tom, and the kids took a picnic to their boat with the agreement that they were not actually going to leave the dock. Sandra and the kids got out the life sling and accompanying tackle. They read the instructions and set it all up. Tom lay on the dock, and they hooked him up and practiced using a winch to lift him over the lifeline. It was the first time they had really had fun on the boat as a family. And, while Sandra was still nervous, the realization that she and the kids could get Tom back on the boat greatly reduced her fear. Once she was back moving around the boat, she also recognized how much she remembered from her years of sailing earlier in their marriage. For Sandra, it was a methodical process. The reward is the sailing family she and Tom always dreamed of. They spend time cruising together now, happily sharing the duties on the boat. Jason got invited to do his first Duck Dodge by his friend and colleague, Kevin. He was hooked
immediately. The boats, the water, the surroundings, the raft-up, the people sailing was pretty much the best thing he had ever experienced! He sailed most of the Duck Dodges that season. Kevin also invited him out for a few random weekend sails. They sailed and barbecued and swam off the boat. By the end of the summer, Jason had been sailing 10 – 15 times. Jason is one of those all-in kind of people, and he read and watched videos during the winter. The next season, it was the same deal, only this time he moved from the pit to the bow. Learning those operations was challenging and fun. He was becoming a good racing sailor with a well rounded knowledge of how stuff on the boat worked. When Kevin mentioned that he was looking for a boat partner, someone to share the maintenance and moorage costs because his new job required more travel, Jason jumped at the chance and bought a half share. Spring came in Jason’s third year sailing. The weather got nice, and they jumped back into the routine sailing their boat in the first Duck Dodge. They pulled the BBQ out of the dock
box, gave it a cleaning and took other friends out for a sail. Then, Kevin left town for a three-week business trip. Jason was left with the realization that in all the times he had been sailing with Kevin, he had paid close attention and followed directions well, but while he understood a lot about what to do, he didn’t know why. And there was this other thing - he’d never driven the boat! While Kevin was out of town, Jason found himself a ride on another boat for the next few Duck Dodges and expressed his desire to learn as much as possible. When Kevin got back, they practiced with Jason driving and Kevin coaching. By the middle of that summer, Jason was taking friends out on his own. A good sailor became a good skipper. While he took his friends out, he was thrilled to discover that some of them were interested in learning from him! Sharing that knowledge became the most exciting part of the whole experience, and further solidified his understanding. Whatever the reason for taking the next steps, several approaches are key to building skills and experience.
Ideally, you should combine all three: • Take lessons: Consider the established dynamics between you and those with whom you have been sailing. If you are used to deferring to others or if “teaching” from friends or family seems to create tension, consider taking lessons at an established school. • Find a sailing community: Expand your pool of sailing friends! Get involved with Meet-up groups, clubs, or community programs. Find people who are enthusiastic about discussing sailing and who enjoy sharing their experiences. Once you’ve made the decision to learn, it is amazing how much knowledge you can absorb from other sailors over Dark ‘N’ Stormies. • The most important thing is sail. A lot. Sail on other boats with different people. Don’t be shy about asking questions. Find capable crew to go out with you on your own boat if you have one, and practice, practice, practice. It won’t always be relaxing, and the sail trim may not be pretty, but it’s worth getting out there! Lisa Cole sails all the time and is the coowner of SheSails Seattle on Lake Union.

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.

In this new ongoing series, we are speaking to sailors about their decisions to own, share, or rent sailboats. There are many ways to own, or not own, a sailboat. In Seattle and throughout the Pacific Northwest, sailing clubs, charter operations, boat rental programs and boat share services all offer alternatives to traditional boat ownership. However, many people still happily own sailboats, too. In this first installment, three boat owners in their late 20s and early 30s talk about how and why they chose to buy their sailboats, and how partnering with co-workers and friends made ownership possible, and maybe even better. Kenny Matthews, age 30 Occupation: Pilot for Alaska Airlines Current co-owner: Kenny’s wife Amanda Matthews, age 29 Previous co-owner: Kenny’s friend and fellow pilot, Todd Boat: Defiant, Hunter 430
Cara Kuhlman: When did you first decide to buy a sailboat? Kenny Matthews: Three years ago, Todd and I were working for an airline and living in Arizona together. We wanted to move back to Seattle so we made a plan of getting new jobs, moving back home and living on a boat. We knew we wanted a Catalina 36, waited to find the right one, and it all worked out! Had you sailed much or lived aboard before? I had not. I had sailed just a little bit, but never taken any lessons or anything. I was kind of self-taught once we got the Catalina 36.
Sailor Profiles: Rent, Share, or Own?
Partnerships Among Friends By Cara Kuhlman That might be intimidating, shopping for boat with limited knowledge? It was little bit. I grew up around powerboats and was comfortable on the water, knew watercraft pretty well. As airline pilots, Todd and I have mechanical backgrounds, so we weren’t too afraid about that element. I think our profession plays a lot into the marine industry, as well. Going on a boat trip and flying are pretty similar, especially the navigation and radio use. Why did buying a boat appeal to you instead of renting or joining a club? At that point, both Todd’s nowfiancée and my now-wife were living in Ballard and Wallingford (Seattle) and we were living in Arizona. We felt like coming back and trying to get an apartment in those neighborhoods would be expensive so we might as well have some fun with it. Once you decided to buy a boat, why was shared ownership the right choice for you versus solo ownership? How would you describe the pros and cons of a boat partnership? At the time Todd and I were going into the boat as a partnership due to budget reasons. Neither of us made enough money to support a boat of that size. We were very close friends and roommates, so we wanted to stay boatmates as well. www.48North.com
March 2017
With our jobs at that point, we would be gone for two weeks and home for two weeks. We were only using the boat half time anyways. Plus, we didn’t own furniture because we’d been living out of suitcases for five years. It was a really easy transition for us. The biggest benefit about the partnership was having someone to share the experience with. We both had zero experience with a boat that size, so we played to each others strengths. I was reading a ton about sailing and boat maintenance and have a mechanical background, so I tackled the systems side of things. Todd has a good eye for making it look nice so he tackled the deep cleaning and some resurfacing jobs. We both learned from each other as we progressed as well. The cons tended to be more budget related. Making the decisions together on what we were going to spend our money on wasn’t easy. But, I’m grateful that we never had any big fights about it. What about when you decided to buy your current boat? The Hunter? The Hunter was the next step for me with my now-wife, then girlfriend, Amanda. She loved being down at the marina and coming out on the Catalina with us, and she had a little sailing experience too. For me, the year and half spent living aboard the Catalina 33
was one of the best times of my life. When it came time for us to move in together, I didn’t want to leave boating and she was onboard.
opposed to it when we initially told our friends and family our plan, but now they see how great it’s been.
Has your friendship with your boat partner evolved in any way since you added a boat partnership to the mix? Yes. Since the partnership, I would say we are even closer friends. My memories I have on Trouble With Lakes, the Catalina 36, will be with me forever and I have Todd to thank for that. We made a boat dream a reality. He still has the Catalina 36, so I’m happy I still get to visit. I have the honor to sail her to the San Juan Islands this April for Todd’s wedding. How often do you take your boat out? Not as often as we used to with the Catalina, but at least three to four days during the winter months. What would you tell someone at a crossroads, deciding whether to buy, share, or rent a boat? I don’t have any experience with a boat share program but from what I’ve heard it’s very similar to the aviation industry, people sharing airplanes. There is a wide range of share options as far as what kind of group, how much you’re using it, the specific rules and contracts. The big perk of ownership is you get to use the boat whenever you want. The downside is the cost. When it comes to repairing something pretty expensive or upgrading, you’re on your own. That’s where a partnership becomes pretty attractive. For us as liveabaords, it is a cheaper way to build equity in something, not just spending money on rent every month. The extra money we do spend is paid for with experiences and quality of life. How do you feel about your decision and do you plan to continue owning a boat? We don’t have an end in sight. I don’t see us ever not having a sailboat anymore, though we may eventually get a house, start a family, and then downsize the boat. I’ve loved every bit of ownership. I don’t have any regrets about the decision I made, especially as a young person doing it. A lot of people were 34
Elena Losey, age 29 Occupation: Accountant for a construction company Co-owner: Center for Wooden Boat’s Program Manager, Kristin Pederson, age 31 Boat: Holdfast, Santana 20 Cara Kuhlman: Tell me about your boat? Elena Losey: I’ve owned a Santana 20 with my friend Kristin for a year and four months. We’re doing the Race to Alaska this summer so the boat has oars on it! We did the first leg of the race last year from Port Townsend to Victoria. We did that with the intention of figuring out if we could do the full race this year. It went really well, so we’re going to do it, just the two of us! Our team name is Team KELP because it’s our initials and our boat’s name is Holdfast, the part of the kelp that holds on to the rock. Awesome, good luck! Did you or Kristin have any sailing experience before buying your boat? Kristin grew up sailing around here and has been teaching sailing at various places since college. We met while we were both working at the Center for Wooden Boats where she was teaching and continues to work. I didn’t learn how to sail until I was an adult. I took a class on a whim and absolutely fell in love with it. I ended up working on the schooner Adventuress for several seasons and living aboard. Although I no longer work with boats, sailing has been a big part of my life. March 2017

What made you decide to buy a boat? The Race to Alaska. We bought a boat because we want to do that race. In 2015, we went to watch the start and were completely taken with these people who were embarking on this journey. You just don’t go out without an engine for 750 miles in some of the most technically challenging saltwater navigation in the globe. Did you ever consider using a boat share or some other arrangement to sail or train? For our purposes, no. We sailed a lot at the Center for Wooden Boats, and know how great that kind of program can be. But we needed to train on and modify our R2AK boat. Once you decided to buy a boat, why was shared ownership the right choice for you versus solo ownership? How would you describe the pros and cons of a partnership? I never thought I would own a boat. I spent years taking care of organizations’ boats and never wanted my own. I actually didn’t decide to buy a boat until Kristin and I knew we would do it together. Even the first thought of “maybe we could buy a boat?” was a joint one. It just kind of happened, and I am very glad that it did. The cost would have been prohibitive for me to buy on my own (financial, time, and energy), and I would have felt bad that the boat wasn’t getting used more often. Having a boat partner puts ownership within reach. I also have someone to bounce ideas off of, discuss boat problems, go sailing with... the list of pros goes on! I actually can’t think of any boat partnership cons for us, but I think that Kristin and I got really lucky. I’m glad that I own the boat with Kristin, because we had already worked together in a boating context. I knew exactly what her risk tolerance was for conditions and what her maintenance standards would be. We share goals, communicate well, and have a similar attention to detail. Has your friendship with Kristin evolved since becoming partners? I think it’s certainly kept us closer than we would be otherwise. We were
co-workers and friends when we bought the boat, and now that we don’t work together anymore, I’m sure we wouldn’t see each other as much if we didn’t have the boat. Our friendship has always been somewhat projectoriented, so having a boat fits right in with that! How often do you take your boat sailing? Once a month in the winter. We’ve only had it for a year and the boat was out of the water and being prepped last spring. In the summer, we were doing Duck Dodge at least every other week, plus crabbing and some overnights. You’re preparing this boat for something pretty specific but what has the maintenance been like? I really enjoy boat projects. I went to the boat last weekend to dry it out and just sit at the dock. I really like that. Realistically, our maintenance would be very different if we weren’t trying to do this race. We spent a lot of time last spring trying to figure out how to row a 20-foot keelboat. If you’re someone who already has an eye for it, like ‘I think my rig needs a tune up’ or ‘I’m noticing some moisture down here,” then you probably already have a good sense of how much time it’s going require to take care of the boat. There can be some big projects, but they’re really worth it. What would you tell someone at a crossroads, deciding whether to buy, share or rent a boat? Definitely think about your budget and location. Be really reasonable with yourself about how often you’re expecting to get out on the water. Where would this boat be? How easy is it for you to get there? Once you’re at the dock, how soon can you get out? My biggest piece of advice it to talk to a lot of people, listen, and get advice. We bought our boat on Craigslist, it was $1500 and it needed some work but there wasn’t anything so wrong with it that we couldn’t go sailing that weekend. Splitting moorage between two people is pretty reasonable. It’s not the perfect boat but it’s not going to sink under us and we have a blast.
Craig Kohring, age 27 Occupation: Product Development Engineer at Impel NeuroPharma Co-owners and co-workers: Chris Fuller, age 27 and Asher Chui, age 28 Boat: Wandering Aengus, Thunderbird Cara Kuhlman: Have you been sailing recently? Craig Kohring: No! It’s ski season. Why did you decide to buy a boat? I had an idea that I was going to like sailing. I wanted to sail the San Juans, and I wanted to go sailing on my time, my terms, and not have to worry about making reservations or chartering boats. Chris wanted to buy a boat, too. Once you decided to buy a boat, why was shared ownership the right choice for you versus solo ownership? Describe the pros and cons of a boat partnership? The most obvious is that it made more sense financially if we went in on it. Between a job and a dozen other hobbies, I knew I wouldn’t be using it all the time anyway. With three owners I’m sure we’re using the boat more than if had just been myself, and we all have an agreement that for races and day sails, owners get first dibs on crewing. At the time, I was also still just learning how to sail and Chris had sailed a lot, so sharing a boat with someone with a lot of experience made sense. I wasn’t about to be taking it out myself, for a while anyway. Chris had owned a boat in the past, so he knew what we were getting into, in terms of work and expense. It was a pretty easy decision for me, and I’d make the same decision again today. I’ve had access to it every time I wanted to use it. It’s been an awesome experience. www.48North.com

Have your friendships evolved in any way since you added a boat partnership to the mix? Honestly, it’s about the same. There was of course a little concern buying a boat with a friend and co-worker, but it worked out well. I’ve known the other owners for a long time and we bought a boat that was well within our price range, so financially it was pretty low stress. The only big difference is we go sailing together a lot now! Did you ever consider a boat share or sailing club program? We bought the boat after I’d started taking lessons, only one lesson actually. I did things a little backwards. I did consider a program like that, but frankly, comparing the costs between buying an older sailboat with my friends or paying monthly dues and charter fees, this turned out to be cheaper in the long run. Accessibility was big, too. Knowing that when Duck Dodge rolls around you have a spot on your boat. Having the flexibility of where to moor it, so you’re not committed to the Lake or the Sound. The biggest thing is being able to go at a moment’s notice. You can just get on the water and go. What would you tell someone at a crossroads, deciding whether to buy, share or rent a boat? I made the decision with less sailing experience than most people probably will, but the decision to buy as partners worked out well. We got lucky in a lot of ways. We got a great deal on our boat and lucked out with moorage too. This past summer alone, with four months at Duck Dodge, a couple of overnight trips to Poulsbo, and ten days in the San Juans, was worth everything I’ve invested into the boat. I’m sure this year we’ll do it all over again. It’s the best purchase I’ve made in a long while. Before we bought it, everyone advised me against it. I don’t know what people were talking about when they warned me not to buy a boat. It was a great idea. I love it. Cara Kuhlman is Seattle-based writer, sailor, and craft beer enthusiast. 35
Cruising is DIFFERENT than Living Aboard! by Becca Guillote
For five years before cutting the lines to go cruising, we lived aboard our Valiant 40, Halcyon, in the Pacific Northwest. For five years, she served as our home while we lived life: working hard, sailing often, and moving towards our cruising goal. In many ways, living aboard made
leaving easier, because we already had a solid working relationship with our boat. We knew her idiosyncrasies, recognized her sounds of distress, and had at least a basic understanding of what lay in the depths of her lockers. As we started moving south, however, our relationship with Halcyon changed

more than I thought it would. Cruising, it turns out, is not the same as living aboard. Take our dishes, for example. When we “just” lived aboard, making dinner looked a lot like making dinner in a house. The olive oil was always where I left it in the cabinet. We kept our ceramic plates and glass wine glasses in the spacious cupboard above the stove (life is too short to drink wine out of plastic). Cruising, however, dinner is a different kind of affair. The olive oil is often hiding behind defensive bottles of soy sauce and vinegars that hurl themselves at me when I open the door. The ceramic plates refuse to stack and instead slide rhythmically from the back of the cupboard to the front. The wine glasses join the symphony with their clinks and clanks. One reason I fell in love with this boat was for its abundance of storage space, especially in the galley. But as we cruise, I’m rethinking the value of this so-called benefit. I cannot stuff the cupboard full enough to restrict the plates and cups from their concert. Since it’s more feasible than chopping down cupboards, we’re now on the
market for light stacking plates and cups, ready to ditch those breakable noisemakers we so valued as live aboards. Cruising challenges our creativity and resourcefulness daily. Without Fred Meyer down the street or Amazon in our pocket, items on board take on new responsibilities regularly. Need a fly swatter? I have a spatula. Don’t have fancy cleaning stuff? That’s what white vinegar is for. Looking for a creative way to hold yourself close to the hull while cleaning the bottom of the boat? How about a plunger. (You can thank Shilshole’s own Al Hughes for that gem.) In addition to solving the immediate problem at hand, this creativity minimizes waste on board, a bonus when trash has to be schlepped to shore infrequently. We keep stacks of old yogurt containers for epoxy, paint, and oil projects; old t-shirts for rags; plastic bags to transport recycling. Chores take on a whole new meaning while cruising. When we lived aboard at Shilshole, I could accomplish an impressive number of tasks within a 7-minute walk of my boat. This included doing laundry; getting rid of trash, recycle, and compost; buying a cup of coffee (hardly a chore); getting dinghy fuel; collecting and sending mail; and taking a shower. I recognize this last one may be a bit outside many definitions of “chores,” but when you don’t have a shower at home, it requires some advanced planning. Now, bouncing from anchorage to anchorage, it would be a feat of impossible fortune to accomplish that much in a day, much less an hour. Laundry alone can be a day-long affair. In Mazatlan, feeling ambitious, we got rid of trash and filled two 5-gallon jugs with potable water in the same afternoon! Having adjusted expectations, though, on what constitutes a productive day, doing chores is a wonderful way to explore a new place. Instead of observing a seaside town only from its water-view palapas and sandy beaches, we learn what the hardware store carries, where you can buy stamps and which restaurants have fast Internet. We are constantly starting conversations with locals to get directions and ask

While cruising is in many ways more complicated than life aboard in Seattle, in others it is much simpler. In Seattle, we maintained a city life that included day jobs in offices, dinners out with friends and weekend excursions. Keeping up required stuff. Stuff requires storage. Storage comes at a premium on a boat! Each day, different clothes were pulled out of lockers, wrinkles were shaken, and shoes piled under the nav station. It took a week for the boat to recover from a 2-day camping trip, damp sleeping bags and dirty travel mugs littering the cockpit. Access to stores ensured we continued to shove more items in the same sized spaces. Cruising has rearranged our daily belongings. I’ve worn a single pair of shoes for 2 months, and most days I don’t put them on at all. If our cruising friends see me in the same stained shirt 3 days in a row, it doesn’t even register. The PFDs have taken over the hook previously used for puffy jackets and rain shells. The fishing and snorkeling gear lives on deck almost all the time. Without the powers of Amazon at our fingertips, there is no build up of oversized boxes in the companionway. We get creative; we do without. Halcyon seems comfortable in her new cruising life. She is performing www.48North.com

the way she was built to perform. The gear we spent years researching, dollars buying, and hours installing is coming to life and proving its value. The windvane was installed for a year before being engaged for more than an hour’s test. The SSB didn’t even get a true test until we were offshore and away from interference. Our dinghy floats proud, now responsible for our daily transportation instead of its previous life primarily as a rainfall measurement at the dock. In Seattle, an evening sail required 30 minutes of stowing the week’s stuff, rigging the jib sheets, unplugging from the dock, maybe even making a run to storage to collect the spinnaker. Now, we put away the dishes, start the engine and haul the anchor. Halcyon always seems eager to move again. Sometimes the constant shifting is a challenge. Our community shifts around us as cruisers follow their own paths; routines falter as we move in and out of towns with amenities; sometimes our boat itself moves more than we’d like in an unprotected anchorage. But curiosity and adventure keep us looking forward and new friends keep us grounded in the present. We tend to agree with Halcyon; this cruising life suits us well.

ASK THE SURVEYOR Hi Tom,
by Tom Averna
I just had an offer accepted on a 45’ ketch. We will need a survey after we do the sea trial. The boat is in the water. I was wondering if you think I can get away with having a survey done with the boat in the water only and not go through the added expense of hauling out. From what I understand the owner has a diver change out the zincs periodically. What are your thoughts? Stan Giezel Stanwood, Washington Stan,
Here’s what I do when I’m surveying these items. After the boat I highly recommend the boat have has been pressure washed, blocked up, a complete survey, and that includes and is ready for inspection, I turn my the hull below the waterline. Here’s attention to the propeller, shaft, and strut (if there is one). why... Problems below the waterline are I’ll check the propeller for any a very real possibility, one that can bends, nicks, or imperfections. Even the be costly. Issues like blisters will go smallest bend in one of the blades can undetected if the boat’s not hauled out create vibration and affect the engine’s for a complete inspection. There are a performance. Defects such as pitting, wide variety of potential problems, crevice corrosion, and discoloration can but for this column, let’s focus on the be caused by electrolytic corrosion, also running gear: the propeller, shaft, and called electrolysis, or from cavitation. I will look at the propeller securing associated components. nuts. Are they are in good shape and snug to the hub of the prop? Prop nuts have an installation sequence on the shaft. The most common type of shaft nut configuration I see is the two nut installation. The smaller nut should be installed first, the larger last. American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) refers to these nuts as the jam nut, which is the thin nut, and the plain nut, the thicker one. When the larger (plain) nut is tightened down it releases some of the pressure on the smaller (jam) nut’s threads. This is to ensure the larger nut is carrying most of the load. There’s your Physics 101 lesson for today. There are other types of shaft nut installations such as a single castle nut and a zinc anode nut. In all installations, there should It might seem like a small detail, but the fact that be a cotter pin that secures the the smaller (jam) nut is positioned on the outside propeller nuts from backing off. of the the larger nut means that it has been In any case, make sure everything is snug and doing its job. installed incorrectly and is at risk for failure. 38

Next, I look at the propeller shaft for any signs of corrosion, cracks, pitting and any abnormal scoring. This inspection is best performed with a magnifying glass to detect small cracks and or pitting corrosion. I’ll rotate the shaft by hand and look carefully for any deformities. Look at where the shaft exits the stern tube. Does the shaft look as if it’s centered in the stern tube? Rotate the shaft. It’s possible you can see the prop shaft change its centered position in the stern tube as the shaft rotates. That could mean a bent propeller shaft. Most propeller shafts these days are stainless steel. Stainless is prone to pitting corrosion given the right conditions. When you starve stainless of oxygen, the metal can become a victim of corrosion. The portion of the shaft where the propeller is threaded on is especially vulnerable to crevice corrosion. Then, it’s on to looking at the cutlass bearing. The cutlass bearing is a rubber bushing in a bronze sleeve, installed in the strut or stern tube (or both), designed to keep the shaft snug and prevent movement and vibration of the propeller shaft. Cutlass bearings are designed to wear over time. A good test to determine the condition of the cutlass bearing is to shake the prop shaft up and down, side to side to see and feel any movement of the shaft. If there is movement, it could mean the bearing is worn and will probably have to be replaced sooner rather than later. In addition, if I feel a rumbling, knocking vibration when the boat’s in gear during a sea trial, I will suspect the cutlass bearing being worn. That
knocking could also be a bent shaft, or a defect with the propeller. Besides shaking the shaft, I do a visual inspection of the cutlass bearing for any abnormal wear areas. Can you see if the propeller shaft is rubbing more to one part of the cutlass bearing than another? The shaft wearing one section of the cutlass bearing might indicate the engine is out of alignment with the shaft, or, if there is a strut, perhaps the strut is bent. If the propeller shaft is shiny where it exits the cutlass bearing for an inch or so while the rest of the shaft is showing the typical bottom growth that develops when the boat is afloat I would inspect the engine motor mounts. The engine might be moving fore and aft when put into gear because the motor mounts are toast. The propeller and shaft are prone to corrosion and need cathodic protection. Shaft and other zinc (or aluminum) anodes are essential to maintaining these components. I recommend replacing the anodes if the anodes have wasted to ½ their normal size. I suggest changing out the zincs annually at your spring haul-out or
This boat owner was lucky. I noticed small cracks running vertically along this shaft when I was doing my inspection (left). As the shaft was being removed to be replaced it broke off. Note the rusted discoloration in the center and the pitting at the edge (right). every six months depending on the location of the boat. There is a lot to look at and inspect, right? And that’s only the shaft and propeller. If you only do an in-thewater survey before purchasing the boat, you might be disappointed with your purchase, having missed some necessary and expensive repairs that
are below the waterline. You will be surprised from time to time with maintenance issues. But, don’t leave anything in doubt if you can help it. Take the time and dollar expense to do a complete survey. Tom Averna is an independent marine surveyor specializing in sailboats. Reach him at thomasaverna@gmail.com

Food centric memories are an integral part of our early family cruising days, too, when getting away meant a weekend or summer vacation in Puget Sound on our 35 footer. I’d forage for blackberries on Guemes, the toddler next to me and the baby I wore eating nearly as much as I picked. Today, a precious jar of purple manna stashed away on Totem: blackberry jam picked by relatives in Friday Harbor. It waits for a birthday unveiling or midpassage treat. That first spoonful on a pancake or toast will remind our kids of our own summers gone by. Gastronomic souvenirs don’t need to be “special,” just different. I remember reading a parent’s memory of summer cruises with her child. The lack of refrigeration on their boat meant meals often centered around Dinty Moore. Hardly extraordinary, but opening a can back at home brought back the memories of drifting slowly with the current along a backdrop of Salish coastline conifers, sun warming their skin. Most recently on Totem, I’ve been clearing out pantry lockers in preparation for departure from the US, and finding more food memories within them. The items themselves usually aren’t unique to a place: they’re more likely to be staples I’ve overprovisioned, or that we’ve simply been slow to use. But it’s fun to realize the table salt grinder we’re using came from Cape Town. There’s a package of Knödel mix—a German potato dumpling—a nod from Namibia’s colonial past, fallen behind boxes of pasta and carried up the Atlantic. The mayonnaise making today’s sandwiches has the slightly Arabiclooking script from Maldives on the label. Other things I’ve hoarded more deliberately: a tin of duck confit from Martinique, a bottle of aged rum from Madagascar, the fruity olive oil from Stellenbosch, South Africa. A few

o T - Keep Your Bunk DRY!
ow
H
By Alex and Jack Wilken
After a long day sailing in the cold winter weather, we all look forward to a warm, dry bunk. But, keeping your bunk dry in a boat can be challenging, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. This article will focus on combating the interior condensation that contributes to a soggy bunk, not on leaks, which we covered in our article in the October 2016 issue of 48° North. Condensation is formed when the air can no longer sustain the level of moisture in it. As air temperature drops, the amount of water it can hold also drops. So, if warm, moist air touches a cold hull or bulkhead, etc., the air will cool, and the water will condense on the cold surface. The temperature at which water vapor in the air condenses is known as the dew point. It’s hard enough keeping a boat condensation free, but adding human occupants compounds the challenge, because every time we exhale, we add moisture to the air. If the cabin we are sleeping in is not ventilated, there is nowhere for the moisture to escape.
These factors acting in concert can result in surfaces that drip, drain, or dribble into your bunk, making for a berth that is not only uncomfortably damp, but can grow mold and turn an unfortunate situation into a nightmare. There are two basic weapons against condensation: insulation and circulation. If water is forming on a surface, you may need to insulate it or ventilate the area better. The path to a dry bunk might involve either, or both in conjunction.
Insulation The most common places on boats that need insulation are bulkheads, overhead surfaces, and hatches and windows. So, your first step in tackling a condensation issue is to locate your condensation-prone areas. Hatches and windows, for example, are often single pane on boats, and thus become excellent condensing surfaces. If you’re sleeping in the v-berth, there’s also a good chance there’s a hatch right above your pillow! Consider insulating a hatch by covering it. The cover could be outside or inside the hatch, and might be as simple as a blanket. If you cover a hatch from the outside and leave it slightly cracked open, you increase ventilation and minimize heat loss. This set-up is a good way to ensure condensation forms outside, where it can’t get to your bunk. Other areas that need improved insulation may require a more involved project, one that has many variables - from the surface that needs to be insulated to the material used for Figure 1: Hypervent, ‘A’, or other non-compressing insulation. Depending on material allows air flow underneath a mattress. Slats, those factors, you may look ‘B’, allow ventilation, too. Holes, ‘C’, are so the air can at recovering a surface with exchange with the space below the bunk, essential to something like vinyl or thermo-insulating paints; or prevent cold air from being trapped.

utilizing a heavier insulation like the bewildering array of foam options (compressible or hard, closed cell or open), but make sure to check with the manufacturer that any foam product you use will not hold moisture. A good example of an effective, but more time-consuming insulation project would be to install a foamlined vinyl headliner. Though it’s a big project, it would significantly improve insulation in a part of the boat very susceptible to condensation. Ventilation Ventilation and circulation are, in some respects, the most important factor in preventing condensation. You can insulate all you want, but if the moisture has nowhere to escape, eventually the air will no longer be able to hold it and it will condense on a surface. Your first ventilation question is: how does air escape from your boat’s interior? Items like hatch fans or dorades may already be installed, but are they working properly? Are they in the cabins where you sleep? If you don’t have them, installing some of these options will be a good strike against condensation and toward a drier bunk. Circulation, however, is not just about letting moisture escape to the outside, but about preventing it from being trapped in a particular space. As an example, ventilating the underside of a mattress is a prime concern when it comes to a dry bunk. The underside of the mattress, often cooler and without air flow, can become damp and grow mold. It is no fun pulling back a heavy mattress to get under a bunk and finding mold. There are many ways to help create air flow under and around the mattress (Figure 1). You could install slats to allow air in, or drill holes in the bunk boards. There are also products you could put underneath the mattress, such as: Hypervent, a non-compressible open material that allows dry air to flow underneath the mattress; some people swear by bubble wrap; and there are more robust systems, like a product called the Froli sleep system (Figure 2) which not only helps with air flow but also provides spring to the mattress. Don’t forget to

Figure 2: The Froli sleep system creates ventilation as well as a spring for the bunk. We admit we have not tried it yet, but we also admit we find it interesting. ensure air flow around the edge of the mattress. You can use similar methods as you do underneath, like the effective and aesthetically pleasing solution of wooden slats in two layers to create air space for circulation. Fans aid in circulation and speed evaporation. Heaters help keep the air above dew point and, if properly placed, can also create circulation. As hot air rises, cold air descends and the warmer air can carry more moisture up and away if it has a way to escape. A low power heater under a bunk, if
Complementary Tools A condensation prevention plan will involve other tools. If you’ve done what you can to increase ventilation, the only way to reduce humidity in a cabin is to remove the moisture from the air by using a dehumidifying device. Electric dehumidifiers, while effective, have some downsides like noise, depletion of electricity and precious space, and need to be emptied. There are other types of dehumidifiers that do not require electricity and are silent. Most of these absorb moisture and hold it chemically. Some need to be refilled with new desiccants, while others can be recharged in some way effectively cooking the moisture out of the desiccant with electrical or other heat sources as the manufacturer specifies. Measuring and monitoring humidity in a cabin can give more definite information help assess the risk of condensation. By looking up the dew point, you can know how saturated the air is.
Figure 3: This bunkboard has been placed on top of the slats, ‘A’, to create spaces for air to circulate, ‘B’. The same method may be used alongside your mattress. Though it can be difficult, don’t settle for anything less than a dry bunk this winter! Now, you have some tips and tricks to keep your bunk snug and warm until you sail away to a tropical paradise.

Ce Incredible Puebla
By Michele Rogalin Henderson On the day we crossed Bahia Sebastian Vizcaino, it was sunny, breezy, and, while the swell was substantial, it was glorious. With the typical Baja northwesterly blowing 12to-15 knots, we reached across the bay (all 50 miles) on a single starboard tack. We were fairly sleep deprived after several long days on the water were followed by super bouncy anchorages at night. Thus, when we arrived at Isla Cedros and found a spot to drop the anchor, we were thrilled to be in the lee of the northwesterly and out of the incessant swell. We put together some fish tacos (our standard fare) and settled in, eager to get a decent night’s sleep. A couple of hours later, we noticed the breeze seemed to have picked up. Then we realized we were actually feeling the breeze! It had shifted to the northeast, which left us on the lee shore. Because Isla Cedros is volcanic, it is quite deep all around it, only becoming shallow enough to anchor in a few spots close to the beach. Within a very short time, the Ardea was being tossed about violently, with waves crashing over the cabin. Clearly in a situation “muy peligroso”, Noj clipped in and went forward to pull up the anchor while I took the helm. The bow was seesawing 8-10 feet into the air, and with no moon it was nearly impossible to see anything. As soon as the anchor was up, Noj looked back and shook his head (he was wearing a red lighted headlamp, this was our pre-arranged signal). I immediately put the boat in 44
gear and started moving away from seawall with a couple of boats tied the land, using the Navionics software alongside on the far side of the marina. on my iPhone, as I couldn’t see Unfortunately, it was perpendicular anything. Once away from shore, we to the breeze, had large tires attached continued to be pounded by the swell, as fenders, and the dock cleats were and we sorted through our options above my head. We made several for destinations. None of them looked passes, but we kept getting pushed close or appealing. away from the seawall by the wind. Noj Then, I spotted something on the decided we needed to try approaching Navionics chart that looked a whole lot for a starboard tie. I quickly moved like a small marina, only a few miles everything over from the port side south, on the other side of Isla Cedros. and we made another approach. This This was not on our paper charts or time, there was a man standing there! the chart plotter. We decided we were A pescadero (fisherman) from the going for it. We set the course and fishing boat tied to the wall. I shouted, moved steadily in that direction. We “Ayudame, por favor!” (Help me, rounded a point and saw the welcome please!) and he caught the line and lights of a small village ahead. As we held us on the cleat while we grabbed approached we saw the familiar red the bow and stern lines. The wind and green lights of a harbor entrance. was howling now, and waves were I went out on deck to prepare the lines crashing over the breakwater, but we and fenders, which were stowed for the long passages. Looking ahead, I saw no marina. Just the lights, and a dark void. As we crossed the bar at the entrance, surfing in on a massive wave, I held my breath and held on to the Ardea... and then we were inside! At this point, it was blowing near 30 knots. We were able to discern a A pescadero works in Puebla Cedros with attendant pelicans. March 2017

were SAFE! Profoundly grateful, we bid our hero good night, and fell into bed, marveling at our good fortune. We awoke to a sunny and warm morning, though very breezy and rough outside the marina. As I went out into the cockpit, I noticed two men standing at the dock, one of whom was on a ATV, just sort of looking at the boat. I inquired about the Port Captain, as we needed to check in, and was told he would be there at eight o’clock. Then, they wanted to chat. I explained what had happened the night before, and how we came to be there, and was assured we were welcome. The awaited time for the Port Captain’s arrival came and went, as did a steady stream of people who were curious to chat with us. There were continued assurances that the he was on his way. The fellow on the ATV, who later we learned was called José, stayed close by throughout our stay, and showed me where to find the tortilleria and the store. News of our presence moved very quickly through the village. The women in the tortilleria were waiting for me and eager to have me try their freshly made, still-warm tortillas. We chatted briefly and then I moved on. I arrived at the store, said good morning, and set about to find the items I was after. At the checkout, two school children stood by while their mother, the cashier, assisted me. In Spanish, she said to the children, “Look! It’s a gringa from the United States!” I found this highly amusing. There was no malice whatsoever in the description, she was just excited about having visitors. The older child, a boy of around twelve years, muttered to his mother in an exasperated tone, in Spanish, “You aren’t supposed to say GRINGA, mom,
Lanchas lined up after a day of lobster fishing, the primary industry in Puebla Cedros. you should say AMERICANA.” At this I laughed out loud, and proceeded to chat with them in Spanish. The boy was mortified. Pobrecito! With a smile on my face and a spring in my gringa step, I made my way back to Ardea. The village, Pueblo Cedros, is marvelous! It is breathtakingly lovely and the people are wonderfully welcoming and helpful. The water has several magical shades of aquamarine and startling blue, sea birds abound, and the marina bustles with activity as lobster fishing is the primary industry. I fell in love with this place. Just like that. Back at Ardea, I announced my sincere love for the village. Noj prepared some tasty breakfast snacks with the warm tortillas as we continued our wait for the Port Captain. A couple of docklines had broken during the night, so I futzed about on deck, tidying up and sorting out our tying arrangement.
The next round of people showed up to chat. We told our story and chatted about the village and the island and fishing. Finally, around 11:00am, the Port Captain arrived and put up a red flag and notice that the port was closed because of the wind and large swell. He then came over to look at our paperwork and get us checked in. We told the story all over again and chatted with him about his job as Port Captain. He invited us to stay as long as we wanted, let us know the port was officially closed for the day, and wished us a good voyage. Shortly thereafter, the fellow that had assisted us the night before, whose name was Hugo, came by to say hello. I again thanked him profusely for saving us and pronounced him a hero. He was a bit embarrassed and said he was pleased to have been available to assist when we needed it. José helped us

get our lines sorted, so they wouldn’t rub on the concrete sides and wear through, as the fellow from SAGARPA, the agriculture & fisheries department, arrived. He asked if we had fish on the boat, which, of course, we did. He then asked to see our licenses and passports and inquired about what sorts of fish we have been catching, how many, that sort of thing. Fortunately, we are very meticulous about our paperwork and fishing regulations, and the process took only a short time. The conversation quickly moved to how we smoke tuna on the boat and which species are the most delicious. He
offered recommendations for what to do and where to go during our stay. Free to roam, we hiked up through the village and out along the beach and generally explored the area. Everywhere we went, we were greeted and made to feel welcome. The strong sense of community was palpable. The homes were well kept and the streets were tidy. After our walk, we arrived back at the Ardea to find José and another fellow messing about near our lines. We realized that in our sleep-deprived, post-traumatically-stressed state, we had made a terrible error: we had

tied as we always do, as we would to a floating dock. This was a sea wall, however, and made tying this way a problem when the tide went out. The Ardea was nearly hanging at the end of the straining docklines. We leapt into action and freed the lines and retied at an appropriate length. Other than some smudges from the tires and slight damage to our boot stripe, we made it through unscathed. Whew! Noj went for a rest and I was engaged by a few more people in conversation. It was truly amazing. People would come and sit and chat for ages. Never in a hurry, always fully present, always relaxed. They offered me a gentle reminder to slow down, and truly appreciate our experiences and the time we have with each other. We covered all manner of topics, from thoughts on the new President of the United States to which lure is best for catching tuna, from how the fisheries cooperative in Mexico protects the fishermen to whether corn tortillas are better than flour (de maiz, claro que si). It’s noteworthy that all of these conversations were in Spanish. I called each of the people with whom I chatted ‘maestro’, which means teacher, as I learned many new words and a few idiomatic phrases. As the sun set and the last of the villagers bid us “bien viaje”, we settled in and recounted, with delight, the events of the previous 24 hours. We would never have come to this incredible place had we not experienced the unfortunate series of events that preceded our arrival. We are keenly aware of how absurdly fortunate we are to have found this sweet little slice of Mexico and cannot imagine why Pueblo Cedros is not on every southbound cruiser’s agenda. This was the kind of day that exemplifies why we continue to love this life. Knowing that unexpected surprises, occasionally frightening and often magnificent, await us each day punctuates a life that might otherwise seem to flow by unremarkably. Such is a day in the life of a voyager. Michele and Noj have completed their engine rebuild (YAY!), and are ready to continue south. Keep up with their adventures at www.callalooblue.com/blog
he start of the Toliva Shoal Race, T hosted by the Olympia Yacht Club and the third race in the Southern
Sound Series, greeted racers with a wet and cloudy morning in front of the Washington State Capital. Race day was a stark contrast to the sun, smooth waters and snow capped mountains experienced during the Friday deliveries.

S o n a t u r a l l y, w h e n t h e b u l k o f the classes started at 10:00 am, the wind was wisping mostly from NW, N to NE. There was, however, high slack at 10:36, followed by a decent ebb over the next six hours. The resulting knot of current created a slow moving ballet of boats trying not to drift over the line or striving to get back over the line before the start. Almost all boats headed towards Gulf Harbor, with the current and an ever so slight continual lift up the shore. Setting up a fun slow motion dual amongst the consolidated fleet, they bunched up near the turn at Dofflemyer Point. Thinking the possible shore effect might provide a lift, the majority of the fleet strived to sail the straightest course along the outer edge of Boston Harbor to Dover Point. Some ventured to set their spinnakers, gennakers, and zeros, hoping to catch a more reachy breeze; though most wound up on wind-seekers or droopy #1s for the majority of the drift boat ride through Dana Passage. Some followed Dos into Boston Harbour and then struggled to make it back out with little to no wind. A few boats, considered crazy at the time, worked their way across Dana Passage to Brisco Point and amazingly found themselves on the winning side of what had become an amusement-park-lazy-riverdrifting-race versus a sailboat race. Boats were moving and swapping places, essentially by luck and or “planned positioning.” Some of my favorite quotes from different sources at this point in the race are: “What side of the swirl is the right side?”

It’s the inspiration for many to dig out the race sails, finish boat projects and scrub the moss off the deck. Luckily, the Winter Shaw is about a lot more than just a race, because for the first time ever, we didn’t have any finishers. Thanks to a long President’s Day weekend, photos by Ayla Joy Love many boats sailed out to the islands on beautiful sunny Friday, the shore running the start rather than with a sweet breeze to get us there in racing Time Bandit.

Three Bridge Fiasco
A Fine Fiasco!
S
ailing is a vast community. There are metal boat sailors, wooden boat sailors, catamaran sailors, and the list goes on. Often I see sailboat racers in a yacht club singled out as “those racer guys.” Within the racing community, though, there are cliques and distinctions that make it so they don’t see themselves as one entity. There are singlehanded racers, pro racers for hire, double handed, Duck Dodgers, or Wednesday night beer can racers; and of course the fully crewed lead bottomed money guzzler Grand Prix racers. Few regattas bring these diverse groups together like the “Three Bridge Fiasco,” held the last Saturday of January each year on San Francisco Bay. The 21 NM course features three marks: The Blackaller Buoy near the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge, Red Rocks just off Point Richmond, and Treasure Island. You can round the marks in any order either way around. The start is pursuit style, with the first start off Golden Gate Yacht Club in the marina district around 0830, for maybe a Cal 20 or the like, and the final start around 1230 in some kind of high octane foiling catamaran. Single or doublehanded, whoever finishes first wins. Sound like fun? Well you are not alone. This year, 365 vessels entered making this the largest regatta on the West Coast - maybe even in North America. 50
I signed up for this jaunt around the Bay on a good 'ol Moore 24, owned by my Kiwi pal, John. We launched at the newly renovated Richmond Yacht Club on Friday afternoon and assisted fellow PNW sailing legend Dave Garman. Seems the Giant Slayer captain had left the better part of his clutch somewhere in the Siskiyous and rented a truck to finish the trip. A turnbuckle also turned up missing, but after a few phone calls and a friendly harbor master, he was back in action. We sailed on one tack and a huge ebb right to the St. Francis Yacht Club in sweatshirts and sunglasses to prepare for our 0941 start the next morning. We arrived just as the lovely and talented Kathryn Meyer, of KAM gear fame in Ballard, was launching her Moore 24, Moore Cowbell, and briefly discussed strategy before. Saturday morning the race lived up to its name and then some, as boats of every type and description jockeyed for position in light winds and a flood tide. The ability to start in either direction adds another dimension. Of course, we had done intensive strategizing and plotting, along with all the other boats, we figured to pick up Blackaller first, then make for Red Rocks through Raccoon Straits. Like many other years the majority was wrong and later in the day it became obvious the few that chose Treasure Island, Red March 2017
www.48North.com
Rocks the Blackaller, CCW in sailor speak, would win by hours... only we didn’t know that yet! In retrospect, I think Kathryn likely had Sacramento in the rear view mirror by the time we finished. At the first mark, we figured we were laying about seventh in the 37 boat Moore fleet. We started tacking upwind in the dying flood as we entered Raccoon Straits in maybe fourth place. As in any one-design fleet, the closer you get to the front of the fleet the more difficult it becomes to catch or pass boats. On the exit to Raccoon Straits, the wind lightened and we eased up on the backstay, cunningham, outhaul, vang, slid the jib leads forward, eased up on halyard tension and found ourselves leading, what we assumed to be, the entire Moore 24 fleet around Red Rocks. Now we set the kite and headed for Treasure Island, off like a wedding dress with huge smiles and brimming with confidence. Then what to our wondering eyes should appear than a passel of spinnakers headed directly towards us from Treasure Island. Hmmmm, now that’s strange... Also disappointing as our kite began to droop, then we started to go backward in the ebb off Berkeley Pier while our Moore pals sailed by the other direction with huge smiles and brimming with confidence. The battle to round Treasure Island was an even bigger fiasco, as at least three boats collided with a USCG buoy tender and several simply with one another. We eventually headsailreached to the finish and motored back to Richmond by the light of a gorgeous sunset and the city front lit up like a Christmas tree. We passed Alcatraz and I wondered what it must have been like for the inmates back then. We had a toast and discussed our good fortune. When we arrived at John’s place back in Marin, his wife gave me a book written by her great-grandfather, the Warden at Alcatraz from 1912-1920, entitled “Prison life is Different.” Yes. I’ll bet it is! by Andy Schwenk Photo courtesy of Erik Simonson/ www.h2oshots.smugmug.com Results at sfbaysss.org

Deadline For Race to Alaska Registration April 15 The Race to Alaska (R2AK), the engineless race for rowers, paddlers, and sailors, has announced a registration deadline of April 15, 2017. Starting in Port Townsend, Washington, on June 8, and finishing in Ketchikan, Alaska, the 750 mile race through the Inside Passage challenges entrants with squalls, killer whales, and tidal currents that run upwards of 20 miles per hour. Based on the hardest kind of simplicity, R2AK is entirely selfsupported, with no supply drops, and offers nothing in the way of a safetynet. Any boat without an engine can enter and there are no classes or handicaps. First prize is $10,000. Second prize is a set of steak knives. Payouts: this is how it works: You finish. The greatest glory of all is going to be your first night in Ketchikan, telling stories not making them. Value is uncertain but damn high. If you’re first to win, you get $10,000, but you have to figure out how to get it off the wood. Another way to win $10,000 is to be the first to say “yes” to the R2AK buy back offer! We’ll buy your boat! If you’re special, you get rewarded by walking away with one of our Side Bets or Annual Awards. The 2017 racer application packets are located at R2AK.com For more information about the Race to Alaska, please contact our esteemed Race Boss, Daniel Evans, at raceboss@r2ak.com

swiftsure yachts The logbook for March 2017 The Hylas 46 is an excellent choice for anyone considering a performance cruising boat with comfort to spare. This 2000 model features a low maintenance exterior: white gel-coat hull, molded non-skid decks, aluminum toe rail and anodized spars. Constant upgrades and all the gear needed for offshore sailing and cruising including new Cruise RO watermaker, Icom SSB, dinghy, outboard, stainless steel davits, genset, and air conditioning make her “turn key.” Electric in-mast Selden mainsail furling and electric primary winches make sail handling a breeze. Windswept is well situated in the Pacific Northwest where downwind tropical destinations can be enjoyed after an epic summer in British Columbia and Alaska. Windswept 2000 Hylas 46 $310,000
