Why Sailing is the Best Family Activity Over the years, I’ve developed a theory about families and sailing. It’s informed by personal experience, but I also really want to believe it’s true. I hope you’ll indulge me. Here’s the gist: I believe that sailing is the ultimate family activity, because I’m not aware of any other pursuit that can so beautifully involve all members of a family unit sharing the tasks that contribute toward a unified goal. On top of that, those shared tasks in sailing are both mental and physical. Let’s break that down a little. Activities that involve all members of a family are a dime a dozen. Don’t get me wrong, my intent is not to disparage any activity here; just to use them as counterpoints. So, a whole family can go hiking, biking, camping, or skiing together. A family might play tennis or cards together. A family might cook a meal together. A family could even play in a band together. Any of these activities, as with sailing, might easily involve all members. Mid-theory appreciation moment: how awesome is it if your family does any of these things all together? Next step: sailing is an activity where a family unit can share in tasks that work in concert for a single unified goal - making the boat sail efficiently to a destination. On any cruising boat, you could easily divide duties among a family unit into driver, mainsail trimmer, headsail trimmer, adjuster of other sail or pit controls, navigator, etc. While each one of these is an individual duty, the goal of sailing to your destination would be difficult, if not impossible, if you didn’t have someone responsible for each of these in some capacity. I love hiking and biking and skiing. But, these activities require an individual to tackle a challenge on their own. You might be sharing an experience of the same mountain (up or down, depending on the activity), the same views, the same fresh air, but your primary task is one that only you can complete. None of my family members would want to pull or carry me up a mountain hike. So, how about games, or cooking, or music? These are some things where you might be sharing tasks. In most games, however, you’re actually competing against some or all of your family members. Cooking a meal together comes really close, but most often, I see different family members prepare individual dishes that work toward the goal of a great meal. To me, the sailing-equivalent-dish would be like one family member chopping onions, another mincing garlic, another cutting eggplant, another dicing bell peppers, and another cleaning squash - all for the same ratatouille. I think a family playing or singing music together might be one of the closest examples of equal participation in the pursuit of a shared goal. But this leads to the next point... Music is cerebral, it’s rhythmic, it’s artistic, and there’s a physical element. But, I wouldn’t call it a physical activity. Basketball is a physical activity, and there might be some awesome, tall family of five that plays basketball on a team together. Yet, while basketball certainly has an important mental element, I wouldn’t call basketball a mental game. Sailing is both mental and physical and, in my experience, it is often a near-even balance between the two. Unless you have electric winches, and most of us don’t, you just can’t trim a sail without some amount of physical exertion. That said, you also can’t know what a properly trimmed sail looks like without the mental acuity to understand why a shape works and recognize the feedback you’re getting from the boat when you’re in the groove. Side note: I believe sailing is for everyone, and that, of course, includes people with different mental or physical capabilities. I think everyone who sails, regardless of their gifts or limitations, must simultaneously utilize a variety of mental and physical aptitudes. In reality, not every family is going have all parties wishing to participate. I also recognize that there’s immense value in the other activities I’ve mentioned here, as well as the innumerable others. But, when I have a family of my own, I’m going to hope that we put together a sailing crew - one where we will equitably use our minds and bodies to share in the tasks that make sailing possible and marvelous. I’ll see you on the water! Joe Cline, Editor, 48° North 6

Based on our experiences sailing around the world and visiting 56 countries in the process, I would like to add a little to the excellent Gifford article. Dolphin Spirit had barely dropped anchor in the small Turkish bay of Gumusluk, when the captain of a nearby local boat came over to tell us, very politely, that our courtesy flag (made in Australia) was incorrect and to give us a new one. After a later trip to Greece, we returned to Turkey and, by mistake, raised the incorrect flag again. Within minutes, another local captain was alongside to tell us of the problem, and to give us a correct flag. Courtesy flags may be purchased, or you can make them yourself. If you do decide on the in-boat method, ensure that you are making the correct flag (countries do make changes from time to time) and that you are using the correct colors and shapes. Close enough is not good enough. The offending Turkish flag had the star slightly out of position with respect to the crescent, a difference only locals could see, but they are the important ones. All cruising boats need port and starboard flag halyards. Starboard is for the flag of the country you are visiting (courtesy flag), in a size proportional to the length of your boat. It is extremely bad manners to arrive in a country without that country’s courtesy flag. The only other flag that can be flown on the starboard side of the boat is the Quarantine (Q) flag, flown when entering the check-in port for the country. The Q flag is always flown below the courtesy flag, and must be taken down immediately after entry formalities are completed. Fly the courtesy flag at all times in that country’s waters, not just in port. We also carried a full set of signaling flags, which were never used for signaling (VHF radio works much better), but which decorated the boat in a very jaunty fashion for holidays and festivals. Remember to check that the color coordinated string of signal flags you put together does not spell something you might not want to be associated with!

Thanks for the note! It’s always good to hear from the crew of “Dolphin Spirit.” I appreciate your informative additions to the Giffords and other columns! On another topic, in the summer of 2015, you were asking about a northbound transit from Los Angeles to the San Juans. Did you make the trip, and how did it go? www.48North.com

We read with interest your response to the people who sailed from Seattle to Walla Walla. We would like to invite you to take a look at our website, www.wallawallayachtclub.com as this may be where they stayed. We always welcome boaters in transit. And, we share reciprocal moorage privileges with over 55 other yacht clubs. Many boaters on the Columbia River have also made this trip. Walla Walla Yacht Club enjoys a quiet spot in a bend of the beautiful Columbia River. We are located in the Wallula Gap at statute mile 312.2 of the Columbia River, 25 miles south of Pasco and 35 miles west of Walla Walla, in Washington State. We have a membership total of just over 100. Many of our members have made the trip both up and down the coast for well over 20 years. My husband, Earl, has helped other members move their boats along the coast for a minimum of 15 trips. Together, in our boat, Adiyoes, a Crown 34, Earl and I have gone from our location, up and down the coast, through four dams, to as high as God’s Pocket, near Port Hardy. We spent three summers in the San Juans, Gulf Islands, and farther north, then returned to WWYC for our home moorage. Another member and two other boats circumnavigated Vancouver Island in 2008. We don’t lack for a variety of good stories and experiences. In our Ranger 29, InsaniSea, we also made a trip up to Lewiston, Idaho, along with two other boats. Another summer, along with several other boats, we spent a week on the water, with Lyons Ferry as our destination. Our club has two or three cruises each summer, with good participation. Earl and I have followed your magazine from probably your second publication and still read it monthly. You have been an excellent resource for us. Thank you, Linda Yoes Crown 34, S/V Adiyoes www.48North.com

Perry and Betts and Custom Carbon Boats Joe, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your story on the Bob Perry/Jim Betts carbon cutters currently being built in Anacortes. It is a very impressive operation. I recently signed a contract with Jim to build another custom Bob Perry design, but one that is quite a bit different from the heavy displacement offshore cutters. The boat that I asked Bob to design for me is a high performance touring boat for Puget Sound, kind of like a big fast BMW - fun to drive, fast under sail or power, responsive, not quite a sports car (or sport boat!), but a pleasure to drive. The idea was a for daysailer, weekender, or summer cruising boat that I could sail by myself or take a mob of guests along for a daysail off Edmonds or a summer of sailing the San Juan Islands. My boat is a fractional rig, 44' LOA, 38' LWL, 12' beam, 20,000-pound sailboat with 900 square feet of sail area. Long, lean, and light (D/LWL about 160). Hull, deck, and mast are carbon fiber, with the same layup as the carbon cutters. Jim told me that it would take a little over a year to build, so we are looking at a spring 2018 launch. I can’t wait. Building a custom boat has been a dream of mine for over 50 years. I can’t imagine a better team than Perry/Betts.

One fall day, some twenty years ago, still stands out in my memory. A storm blew up quickly, beginning in the late afternoon. The rain was falling horizontally and the winds were blowing 20 knots or more by the time darkness fell. Living in Edmonds at the north end of Talbot Road, we were across the street from the water. The house sat up on a plateau, thereby affording us a panoramic view of Browns Bay, Puget Sound, and Whidbey Island. Browns Bay is between Picnic Point and Edmonds bordering Meadowdale and the Lynnwood sewage treatment plant. A lone fisherman had launched his aluminum skiff in the late afternoon. He had no motor, but I didn’t think anything of it, figuring he probably wasn’t planning to be on the water for very long. His plans dramatically changed as the storm grew worse. Perhaps he was out for some late day fishing or was tending his crab pot. Whatever his reasons for being out there, what we know for certain was that his boat was eventually swamped by the storm. He was capsized and adrift. When I first heard the helicopter flying over the bay, I was headed for bed. It was a Coast Guard helicopter flying low over the bay. The helicopter was so close and so loud that I stepped out into the storm to have a look. The helicopter had its search light on, scanning the bay. It was low enough that the prop wash was roiling the waters. The illuminated area directly below the helicopter was white with wind driven white capped waves. It took just a moment to realize the helicopter was flying a search pattern. Having been a boater for forty years, I was proficient in the use of a radio, Coast Guard procedures, and navigation. I ran back inside and grabbed my spotting telescope. I lined up on the helicopter and joined them in their search. I began to track their search light beam as they flew towards shore, then out about a mile, and back again. After ten minutes, I noticed something in the water on the fringe of the search light’s beam. It was the fisherman. He was clinging to the side of the boat as the wind and current carried him north across Browns Bay. My initial sighting was very brief as the helicopter flew on, leaving a trail of frothy darkness. Shortly, the helicopter returned on another pass and I was then certain that I saw a man in the water clinging to a boat. However, the helicopter did not see him, and continued its frantic search. Others had seen and reported sighting the capsized boat along the Edmonds waterfront. The Coast Guard had also dispatched a patrol boat from Port Townsend to join in the search. I called 911, explained the situation and suggested that direct communication with the pilot would be helpful. The 911 operator was incredulous at first, but after a short discussion and a “You can’t do that, sir”, she had me talking to the Coast Guard radio operator at Pier 13. www.48North.com
Letters I was patched into the co-pilot and explained where I was and what I had seen. I told him that I could guide him back to the area where I had made the sighting. Within minutes the helicopter returned to its position out front of my house as I directed him where to go. Shortly thereafter, the copilot came over the radio with “We got him. That’s an assist, sir”, and he signed off. By the time the rescue swimmer reached the man, the patrol boat had arrived and proceeded to pick him out of the water. I never met or heard from the man in the water. It had indeed been a dark and stormy night. Tom Sullivan Edmonds, WA Thanks for the story, Tom! It’s a good reminder that we may be able to help a boater in need from most any vantage point! You’re both very observant and a true good samaritan.

January 27 - February 4 One of the most popular features at the Seattle Boat Show is the extensive line-up of free boating and fishing seminars, and the advanced training classes for a fee through Boat Show University. No other show in North America matches the Seattle seminar schedule in terms of the quality, variety, and number of seminars offered. Keeping up with technology is hard to do. Not just what’s new with the latest in marine electronics, but what about all those apps? Many of the seminars will help boaters sort through these issues. And no matter how much experience you have, there are always new skills to learn or refresh and there will be plenty of safety-related seminars. There’s also no shortage of advice and seminars to choose from for those planning a cruise, whether in our local waters, to Alaska, or as far afield as the South Pacific. The Boat Show U. programs features well-known nautical experts in threehour programs and day-long expert training sessions during the week. The show features two locations, 1,000 recreational watercraft, and more than 400 exhibitors. There are more than three acres of the latest innovations in accessories, technology, and boating gear on display indoors, plus 100 world-class yachts in their natural habitat on South Lake Union. A free shuttle runs between both locations. For a complete list of exhibitors, seminars and ticket prices, please visit www.SeattleBoatShow.com

Tacoma Metro Parks and the EPA are spending 60 million dollars transforming the west end of the Ruston Way peninsula, which happens to be where Tacoma Yacht Club calls home. This will involve fashioning a new grass park that will connect an existing walking-bike path from Point Ruston development. While many are focused on the Park Department’s project for the public, TYC is also enjoying major improvements. As a result of the peninsula project, a new boat launch pier is being constructed that will be equipped with a lift provided by TYC that has a haul out capacity of 10,000 pounds. All parking and driving surfaces will be elevated from 7 feet to 11 feet above the existing elevation, enhancing a grand entrance into the soon to come, newly remodeled clubhouse. The membership of TYC has seized upon this opportunity to update its utilities and structures. There will be an Open House at TYC, on March 26, from 2:00-4:00pm.

In Lowtide The Biz Marine Servicenter, Seattle & Anacortes, Celebrates 40 years! Jim and Jeanna Rard are pleased to announce that they are still sailing through life doing what they love serving the boating public of the Pacific NW - for 40 years! It all began in 1977, on Westlake Avenue N, where Jim commissioned the brand-new Ranger 33 they bought from Gove’s Cove. Jim was not happy with the “expert” Ed Gove was using, and thought he might be able to do it himself. Ed decided that Jim did such a good job that he offered to rent Jim the little repair office next door for $200 bucks a month, and thus began Marine Servicenter. Within a few years, boat sales were added, along with Seattle
employees. After moving around the lake for a few years, the boatyard settled in Anacortes in 1994, and the sales office flourished in Seattle. Jim and Jeanna moved with their twins, Molly and Jessie, to Arlington, so they could be sure and both be on the freeway for a couple hours a day (Jeanna to Seattle, and Jim to Anacortes). Marine Servicenter has grown to include a full-service boatyard, retail
store and dry storage in Anacortes, as well as new and used yacht sales (Jeanneau, Lagoon, Nauticat, and Wellcraft) in both Anacortes and Seattle. Jim Rard, aboard the Jeanneau 49, Ruby Slippers, has led SAIL ALASKA, a flotilla-style cruise up the inside passage to Ketchikan and beyond, for the past six years. Jim and Jeanna have met some amazing people through the years customers, friends and employees and are grateful for the loyalty and friendship shown to them since 1977.

In The Biz Lowtide During West Marine’s Month of Giving Fundraiser in December, associates and customers in stores joined forces and raised more than $10,000 to support the company’s nonprofit, BlueFuture Fund. B l u e F u t u re p ro v i d e s 5 0 g r a n t s annually to community-based organizations that are dedicated to getting young people on and around the water. “At the local level, particularly in underserved communities, organizations have to be creative with limited resources,” Lindsey Johnson, West Marine’s Director of Communications says. “Every dollar matters, because the need is so great. BlueFuture grants allow recipients to buy or replace vital equipment, hire experienced staff and fund scholarships so even more kids can have access to the water.” Each year, West Marine seeks to raise a minimum of $10,000 during the Month of Giving so it can continue funding grants at the current level. Johnson says the team was thrilled
to learn it had passed that critical number. In 2015, West Marine provided grants to just 29 organizations. In 2016, the world’s premier Waterlife Outfitter was able to increase that number to 50; and, thanks to the 2016 Month of Giving, the company will once again be able to fund 50 grants in 2017. Each is $1,500, and it’s unrestricted — that means West Marine lets the grant recipient determine how the funding should be used. The spring grant cycle opens April 1 and runs until May 1. Encouraged to apply are nonprofit, youth-focused, community-based organizations that teach sailing, powerboating, fishing or boatbuilding skills; foster aquatic sustainability and conservation practices; and encourage learning in the marine sciences. Applicants can visit www.westmarine.com/BlueFuture (starting April 1), click “Grants,” and fill out and submit an application online. All donations are fully taxdeductible.

Ben Bottoms has always gravitated toward the water, working above it as a fish biologist in the Bering Sea and under it as a diver for the last two years. Ben graduated from Martin Methodist College with a degree in Biology, and enjoyed the pursuit of baseball (although the baseball thing didn't work out), his passion for being on the water has turned into a career. Ben moved from the inland lakes of Tennessee to Seattle four years ago to pursue a life closer to salt water and Puget Sound. He has taken great pleasure in sailing, cruising, and racing in the NW and is super excited to meet new prospective boat buyers and help them wade through the complexities of choosing the right boat and the ownership process.

To a sailor, understanding weather is as important as boat preparation and knowing how to tack. Knowing what the weather is going to do can be the difference between a having a safe and comfortable voyage or a perilous, bad experience. Marine weather is a very complex body of information that professional meteorologists spend their lives learning. Modern Weather for Sailors, A Marine Meteorology Primer, is an attempt to translate that information

The purpose of this book is to sort through all the thousands of websites and programs available, and share the few really important things a sailor needs to look at while planning a race or voyage, then how to bring that information onto the boat while at sea.

Lowtide Antarctica, an area larger than the United States, contains 70% of the Earth’s fresh water.
Maritime Trivia by
B ryan H enry
Only about 2-to-4% of Antarctica’s land surface is free of snow cover, even part of the year.
Twenty countries operate year-round research stations in Antarctica.
Antarctic icebergs can be 1,200 feet deep.
There have been at least four ice ages in Earth’s history.
The fact that only one-tenth of an iceberg is visible above the water inspired the phrase, “just the tip of the iceberg.”
The space shuttle, Discovery, was named for the ship on which Robert Scott first sailed to Antarctica.
There are at least 12 forms of sea ice, including cake ice, frazil ice, and pancake ice.
In 1998, the Galileo spacecraft found evidence of an ocean under the surface of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons.
Melting glaciers and icebergs make a fizzing sound, called bergy seltzer.
In addition to the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell held other patents, including hydrofoil boats and a device for locating icebergs.
About 37,000 tourists visit Antarctica each year. Geothermal pools are a popular tourist stop for visitors to Antarctica’s Deception Island.
Fishermen witnessed the volcanic eruption at sea that created the island of Surtsey, off the southeastern coast of Iceland, in November 1963.
Little Buddy’s dream? Maybe someday they’ll T let ME be the Skipper!
Iceland harbors more than 100 of the world’s active volcanoes. Lake Nicaragua contains about 400 islands, some of which are active volcanoes. Since the lake was severed from the Pacific Ocean by a belt of volcanic cones, unique freshwater species of shark and swordfish have evolved there. The Amazon River is wider at its mouth than the Thames is long. The bore of the Amazon River travels upstream more than 200 miles, a record distance for tidal bores. The Amazon River annually sends 20 percent of Earth’s available fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean. North America’s Great Lakes hold nearly 20 percent of Earth’s available fresh water. Worldwide, more than 200 rivers flow across international boundaries.

Lowtide DryBunk Drip Catchers prevent soggy bunks that keep captains and admirals from getting a good night sleep.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert
Ok, so it’s not ”The Blue Lagoon” with Brooke Shields... Still, mid-winter means sex on the beach, but for little purple shore crabs. This time of year, your beach walk might include watching for these little crabs. They can reach high densities if you look in the right places – large boulders, lots of cobbles and piles of drift and wrack. Variable in color from purple to reddish-brown, olive or even yellow, they all have reddish-purple spots on the claws. They lack hair on their legs – the which is a nude part of this story, as is their scientific name Hemigrapsus nudus. Adults are about an inch across a square-shaped carapace. After you spot one, carefully squat down for a look and watch the little eyes checking you out.
In late winter, shore crabs mate – that’s the sex part of this story. Don’t think about how this works as it involves swimming legs, modified parts and some male domination stuff. And just like Dungeness crabs, female shore crabs have wider abdomens than males, allowing them to carry masses of eggs around until they hatch, sometimes as many as 30,000 at one time. Eggs hang on as the female goes about life and then hatch in April or May. If you’re on the beach in early summer, look for tiny dimesized baby shore crab skeletons that didn’t make it. These creatures are just a small part of what makes our beaches truly fun to explore. For me, it’s the small stuff of nature that is most interesting.

Units matter beyond the occasional engineering ”oops.” Naked numbers, that is, a number without unit, can badly misrepresent information. The scenario I opened with is loosely based on a conversation I overheard in an anchorage in the South Pacific. In another conversation, I listened to a European sailor and Canadian sailor speaking versions of English, about weather forecasts. They couldn’t make sense of differences in wind predictions. Then, an aha moment: ”we’re talking knots, no”? ”No, meters per second”. That’s a huge difference as 1 knot equals 0.54 m/s. Forecasts can be imprecise Sometime, it’s a game of inches, or millimeters or degrees...

knowing adds potential for a significant oops! And sometimes, having units isn’t clear enough. For example, 15 knots of wind needs the addition of direction to be useful. But direction is vague, unless you know that it means from where the wind comes. Southwest wind comes from the southwest. It seems logical that current information would follow the same convention, but it doesn’t. Current direction indicates where the water is flowing to. One cruiser we know found out the hard way when crossing from Madagascar to South Africa. He ranted over SSB about the lousy current forecast, being 3 knots against them instead of with as the forecast indicated. Somebody, cough, replied with a different interpretation of the current information. It’s unclear if he heard the message though, because his radio went silent. Usually though, units do bring clarity. A gallon is a gallon, of course. Well, except when it’s a US gallon versus an imperial gallon, which is about 17% less. Poor example… There are a ton of better example, but tons are not one of them. A ton requires further qualification as a US or short ton at 2,000 pounds; or a British or long ton at 2,240 pounds. Neither of which should be confused with a tonne, which is 1,000 kilograms or 2,204.623 pounds depending on which unit you prefer. For simplicity, let’s go with feet; not the anatomical kind. Want a new halyard? Visit the chandlery and find the correct spool of rope. Reel it off and the rope becomes line, sold at price per foot. At that price, you wish the units were yards, meters or fathoms! But it’s not, so you reel it back onto the spool, where it becomes rope again and you live with old halyards for another season. Units are messy, but we’d be really lost without them. Consider the geographic coordinates used for GPS position. They can be in degrees, minutes, and seconds (30° 16’ 28”) or degrees and decimal minutes (30° 16.470”) or decimal degrees (30.27444°). Each represent the same geographic point. Well almost, it needs to be qualified further with north, south, east, or west. And sometimes a number properly adorned with unit of measure is an insult in disguise. Ever read a shop manual for a diesel engine? An instruction that says tighten tappet

And if someone starts talking about joules contained in a gallon (US gallon!) of diesel, there is no shame faking an important call to get out of there before embarrassing yourself. Next time you’re anchored and a newcomer asks how much rode you have out just be sure to include the units. Something like, ”Mate, a quarter cable to the pick” will do.

consider to be the ”Everest of sailing," the allure of the Arctic continues to draw adventurers. According to the Canadian Northwest Territories, annual transits rose from four per year in the 1980s to 20-30 per year from 2009-2013. Since the Canadian government does not require all vessels to register while sailing the Northwest Passage, it is not always clear how many transits were attempted or completed, especially by smaller vessels. The Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge maintains the most consistent record of transit data by compiling commercial data with counts from Arctic marine enthusiasts who provide vessels with weather data and information. One such enthusiast, Victor Wejer of Ontario, has assisted more than 40 sailboats transiting the Northwest Passage. By his count, 117 sailboats have transited the Northwest Passage, 74% of which sailed since 2007. Over email, Wejer commented that aside from weather trends, the ”improved communication technology made it much easier to guide sailboats in Arctic waters.” Vessels can now download a compact picture of the ice around them to find the way out, escaping the dark fate of many Arctic voyages. Traditionally, there are seven primary routes through the Northwest Passage. For several sailors, receding ice has made new variations of these routes possible. The southern routes are shallower but are the most frequently transited, as the ice breaks up earlier. The northern routes have more commercial viability, but thaw later, if at all. Through 2016, the Scott Polar Research Institute data shows only 193 vessels have completed 255 transits with the number of incomplete transits ”too numerous to record.” There have been more ascents of Everest and trips into Earth’s orbit than successful transits of the Northwest Passage. Ice Witnesses Mark Schrader, of Stanwood, WA, wants to go back to the Arctic. ”It’s a stark landscape and absolutely beautiful. There is a contrast between the water, the ice and the land. The

barge captains told Johnson they hadn’t seen ice like it in 20 years. Thirteen vessels had already decided to turn back to Greenland. Despite the official closure of Prince Regent Inlet, Johnson saw an opportunity to continue on and they wormed their way through. Another vessel attempting this behind them was unsuccessful and had to be rescued. ”It’s a crapshoot,” says Johnson. ”You can do everything right from a preparation point and you can still have problems and not make it through.” 2013 and 2014 saw dramatically more sea ice through the summers than the three previous years. This caused some to question the rate and consistency with which the ice is receding. However, scientists consider this a relatively small increase in light of the greater 30-year trend. ”There are large year-to-year fluctuations and that’s important to keep in mind,” Stern says of the data, ”It’s not a steady march year-to-year on down.” However, even in years with more ice, there is difference in the age and therefore the density of the ice. ”There is less multi-year ice, that is key,” Johnson explained and although the young ice is less dense, he concluded; ”ice is ice for a small vessel.” Many modern transits are completed over one season but Johnson took two years in order to visit and experience the Inuit communities along the way. After wintering in Cambridge Bay, and persevering through another heavy ice year, Gitana became the 87th sailboat
landscape is just phenomenal,” Schrader says. Schrader led the 28,000-nautical mile, 13-month Around the Americas expedition that set sail from Seattle in May 2009 to circumnavigate the American continents. The expedition’s mission was to inspire and educate citizens about threats to Earth’s oceans and how to protect them. The expedition also partnered with scientists aboard their vessel, the 64’ S/V Ocean Watch, to collect data throughout the voyage. Around the Americas demonstrated the potential of the cruiser/researcher partnership. Schrader says this is a great arrangement, ”It’s an opportunity to do measurements in remote locations. We went places where big ships won’t go, can’t go, and don’t go.” With increasingly compact and reliable equipment, sailors can become ”citizen scientists” as they travel around the world. Heading north from Seattle, the crew of Ocean Watch completed a successful transit from west to east over 47 days and witnessed a changing Arctic. They noted the receding sea ice; but in its place, broken ice flowed with the currents and jammed up in smaller passages, presenting different challenges. ”Ice moves a lot faster thank people think,” Schrader adds, ”It’s a long and can be a very difficult trip, even in today’s less ice.” For Michael Johnson and the crew of 44’ S/V Gitana, weather conditions were not ideal when they arrived at Pond Inlet, the eastern entrance to the Northwest Passage, in 2013. At the time, several Twenty-five year old Guirec Soudée completed an east-to-west transit ice pilots and with his chicken, Monique.

255 and Counting As the Northwest Passage continues to be redefined, questions about global climate change, Inuit communities, and commercialization arise. Receding ice literally takes land from underfoot, whether seasonally or permanently, and minimizes communities’ ability to hunt and resupply. The result is an altered landscape and an altered way of life. NASA and other observers continue to monitor the Northwest Passage via satellite images. One important tool for comparison is the ”minimum ice coverage”, which is the annual measurement of the smallest total area of Arctic waters covered in sea ice. The annual minimum ice coverage is a key indicator used to measure receding ice. In 2012, the minimum ice coverage in Northern Canadian waters was the lowest on record. The Canadian Ice Service reported 2016 as the third lowest year on record after 2011. Seven of the lowest years for minimum ice coverage have occurred in the past decade. NOAA reported both the southern and northern routes open again in 2016. A rare occasion before 2007, Call today for the opening is now almost an annual one.

It’s the same thing in the Northwest Passage. The ice charts are very good but you’re also getting satellite imagery, data on what the ice is doing and where the ice is going.” Sailors will play a big part in this new era of the Northwest Passage. Already the largest growing group of Arctic vessels, the number of private vessels sailing the Northwest Passage is expected to continue to increase, especially with the reliability of the southern route opening.

Those who have experienced the Northwest Passage warn it is still a very challenging undertaking not for the inexperienced. ”People need to be prepared to be completely self-sufficient. It’s unfair to assume or rely on people along the passage for supplies and help,” Schrader says. If your sights are set on the Northwest Passage he advises to be prepared, do your homework, be considerate, be prudent, and regardless of recent trends be prepared to be iced in. Soudée’s advice?

T he S ailmaker S essions Keep Cruising in Light Air By Carol Hasse, of Port Townsend Sails
Now is a wonderful time to be planning a sailing adventure. While working and heavy weather sails are critical for safety, comfort, and speed, light air sails are equally essential to a seaworthy sail inventory. There are many types of light air sails to choose from and a variety of tools and systems for setting, striking, and stowing them. But, not all light air sails are appropriate for every rig, vessel, or sailor. It’s important to know which sail or sails will best serve our needs so they’ll be used and enjoyed. Most cruisers are familiar with asymmetric spinnakers, and many racers and cruisers have experience with classic spinnakers and code zeros. All of these sails are attached to the rig only at their three corners, but each is designed for specific points of sail. The powerful spinnaker works best in 90°—180° wind angles and requires a pole for optimal performance. A sleeve/dousing sock can aid in handling this largest of all ”light air
sails,” when capable foredeck crew is not at the ready. The asymmetric spinnaker (asym) is usually about 15% smaller than a spinnaker with a longer luff than leech and is designed to sail best in 60°—150° wind angles without a pole. While capable of sailing closer to the wind than a spinnaker, the camber of an asymmetric spinnaker precludes it from sailing to weather, and (like a spinnaker) it must be jibed in order to change tacks. Jibing requires more sea room and finesse than coming about, and sail handling tools such as a sleeve or a top-down furling system can be invaluable. A top-down furler is composed of a halyard swivel that is raised aloft with the spinnaker halyard and a continuous line furling drum that is secured forward of the headstay to the bow or bowsprit. Tensioned between the halyard swivel and the tack drum is a free full-length anti-torsion rope or cable around which the asym is

furled. Top-down furlers can work well on a fractional rig, especially with a bowsprit forward of the headstay. The more common masthead rig often requires rig modifications to provide the necessary space for the smooth, chafe-free operation of a top-down furler. Fortunately, a well engineered sleeve such as that made by ATN is a seaworthy aid in handling an asymmetric or classic spinnaker with no need to retro-fit the rig or the sail. Another category of light air sails consists of large, lightweight headsails shaped more like genoas than spinnakers. These sails run the gamut from nylon drifters and ”ghosters” to laminate code zeros, which are referred to as ”screechers” on multi-hulls. The square footage of these sails can be half that of a spinnaker, and their flatter shape enables them to work to weather and to tack through the eye of the wind. A sail of this type is the perfect complement to the powerful spinnaker or asym. The code zero and its furler was first designed for Volvo ocean racing to fill the gap between the asym and the jib. Performing best in 45°—80° wind angles, the code zero is essentially a large, powerful genoa made of specifically engineered sailcloth, the shape stability of which enables it to go upwind fast in light air and in the increased apparent winds experienced on performance boats. Unlike the nylon sailcloth of spinnakers, asyms, and drifters, which can withstand sudden gusts and rough handling on the foredeck (including being stuffed in a sail bag), the laminated cloth used for a code zero must be furled and handled carefully. A code zero furling system is similar to a top-down furler with a halyard swivel that is hoisted aloft (often on a two-part halyard) and a furling drum equipped with an endless loop furling line. Most commonly, a code zero is set forward of the headstay on the bow or bowsprit. When so rigged, this sail must be furled in order to tack through the eye of the wind. It furls around its own spectra or antitorsion luff rope, which is sewn inside
the sail’s leading edge. This is a simpler and more failsafe type of furling system than the top-down furler, and it’s one that can be used for furling any large, lightweight, overlapping headsail, including a modern drifter. A drifter is a nylon sail with which many long-time cruisers are familiar. It is beloved for its ease of handling, its power, and its ability to move the boat in barely a breath of wind with minimal fuss or slatting. It also takes very little stowage space below. Before the advent of roller furling jibs and genoas, drifters were usually hankedon sails. Now, a drifter is most often attached only at its three corners and can be more easily handled by using a sleeve or a code zero style furler. In winds under 10 knots apparent, the drifter’s ability to sail close to the wind can bring pleasant days of sailing in our Northwest channels and a measure of safety when we need to work our way off a lee shore or into an anchorage under sail. A drifter made of 2.2 ounce nylon sailcloth (originally engineered for storm spinnakers) ensures good windward performance in light air and great shape stability and strength in unexpected gusts. When reaching, the drifter can be carried in as much wind as is comfortable and will stay inflated longer than a genoa or jib when near

or in the lee of the mainsail. A drifter can be set forward of the headstay, similar to an asym or code zero. Alternatively, a drifter can be set abaft the headstay by hoisting it from a spare jib halyard (led through a halyard restrainer) and attaching its tack pendant to a fitting that is roughly 12” abaft the headstay. Rigged in this manner, a drifter can come about like a jib or genoa, and it will be easier to Asymmetric spinnaker; Kettenburg 40; S/V ”Lady J.” set, jibe, and strike (especially with the aid of a sleeve or a code zero style aboard their Crealock 37 raved about furler).

o T - Put Holes in Your Boat...
ow
H
The Right Way!
By Alex and Jack Wilken
As we move into late winter, it is pre-season project time for lots of us, and winter sailing season for others. Many, if not most, of boat projects may involve drilling holes in your beloved craft. Whether it is fine tuning the placement of our running rigging, installing new handrails, canvas snaps, instruments, or any number of other projects, putting holes in your boat is always an unsettling proposition. So, before you go firing up your favorite power tool, let us go over some of the questions you should ask yourself and the best practices. In past articles, we have gone over how to install thru hulls, winches, and mast hardware. This article is more broadly focused on how to deal with any hole you want to put in your boat. A hole needs to be secure and sealed. What is the hole for? Where does it need to be? How to make it? How to make it secure? How to seal it? These are some of the most important considerations in the making of holes in your boat. What is the hole for? There are several reasons we want holes in our boats. One is to allow something to pass through them - like a wire, or a fitting for a ventilation hose. The other most common reason to drill into our boats is to anchor something
with a screw or bolt. The hole could also be larger to install something like an instrument display. Where does the hole need to be? The location of the hole is determined not only based on where it is most convenient on the outside, but also where it will work and be accessible on the inside of the boat. You may be running wires from your mast into the boat. Obviously, not running them all over the deck is preferable, but they must go through in a place that you can access on the inside, and thus complete the run to the desired location. You should plan the entire wire run, and even run wire inside from the hole to its end, before putting the hole in your boat to make sure you don’t encounter a nasty surprise later. If the hole is for a fastener, you normally need access to both sides, as well as space to accommodate washers or backing plates as required. Additionally, you may need to consider that you’re close enough to structural reinforcement as to give sufficient strength to the loads a fitting might be subjected to.
How to make the hole? Depending on the hole you wish to make, you may use a drill, a saw, or both. The size and shape of hole and the material you are going through are the big determinants in this. Small (approximately up to six inches) round holes, are generally best made with a drill motor and the appropriate drill or hole saw. Bigger and nonround holes, will need some form of cutting device. On fiberglass and wood boats, a saber saw Figure 1: Drill the hole for the saw blade, ”A”, inside the or jigsaw is often best. Mark exactly where desired hole dimension. For square a hole, ”B”, you can you want the hole. This drill a hole in each corner, ”C”, and connect the dots.

is as much a measure-twice-cut-once moment as there ever was! Drill a hole big enough to get the blade through at the edge, and then use the sabre saw to finish the job (Figure 1). With holes that can’t be drilled on metal boats, an angle grinder or cutting torch may be more appropriate. How to make the hole secure? The surface where you put the hole must be solid enough to take the loads that it may be subjected to. Cored fiberglass decks do not provide much material to fasten to. Coring is used to allow for a stiffer, lighter deck than fiberglass alone could achieve. As a result, the upper layer of fiberglass can be as little as ⅛” thick. If the core is foam, this will only provide enough holding power for the most minimal loads (Figure 2). If more holding is needed, you can make a ”hockey puck”. To do this, remove the foam and replace it with thickened resin. First, drill a hole in the location about ¼”, or at least twice the diameter of the screw you will be using. Next, locate an allen wrench that is small enough to fit inside the hole you have drilled. Then, attach the long end of the allen wrench into a drill. Insert the short end into the hole you have drilled, and position the drill at 90 degrees to the surface of the fiberglass. Once you have the allen wrench inserted into the hole, trigger the drill so that the short end spins inside the foam behind the fiberglass. This effectively creates a ”void” in the foam around the hole. Once you have created the void, the next step is to inject epoxy or resin into the void. Once the epoxy/resin has cured, you are left with a very solid anchoring point that you can drill and fasten your screw into. The best way to inject the epoxy is to use one of those nonneedle syringes that you can get at any pharmacy; these also come with baby Tylenol and similar medicines for kids. As long as the layup is polyester, you can use two-part epoxy or polyester resin material. Otherwise, epoxy resin is the only option. Mix the resin. Then, add high density thickener till it is still liquid enough to draw it into the syringe, but not too runny. About the consistency of Ketchup works. Draw it into the syringe, and
inject it into the void until it is full. Once cured, this area is now ready to fasten to. Remember to drill a lead hole of appropriate size so as not to crack the fiberglass and ensure solid holding. If the core is plywood, then, in most situations where a wood or sheet metal screw would be an appropriate fastening, the plywood should provide sufficient holding power. You must be very careful to make sure it stays sealed because if water gets into the layup, it will not always be immediately obvious and could be disastrous. If a cored deck is subjected to the loads that would require thrubolting, it will leak and cause problems since the core is easily compressible. To prevent this and make the fastenings secure, the core must be removed and replaced with something solid. This is the most secure method for any hole needed in a cored deck or hull. We explained one way to do this in the article on winch installation from the April 2011 issue of 48° North. For heavier loads, you will want to spread the load to prevent the bolt pulling through the deck. To spread the load, use large area fender washers or a

Because these fittings shouldn’t have force put on them, you might be able to get away with sheet metal screws in a foam cored deck in a location where the cables are not stepped on. backing plate, but we will ask that you refer to this previous article for the details of this process. How to seal, short and long term? You can simply drill a hole big
enough to run, for example, a wire, and squeeze some marine sealant into the hole and it may not leak for a while, but it would not be prudent to expect it to stay that way. One of the best ways to seal a wire is with a watertight fitting

Figure 3: All the wires, ”C”, from this mast run up through the hose, ”B”, into the tube, ”A”, and into the boat. The end of the hose is filled with sealant around the wires to keep any water out. (Figure 2). This doesn’t work as well for multiple wires as each one wants its own fitting. A solution we have used is to have a flanged tube come up thru the deck, and then a hose is attached to it with the other end pointed at the deck. Then, run all the wires up into the hose and down through the deck, and
squeeze sealant in around the wires (Figure 3). With the wires secure, they have less room to work and displace the sealant, and, with the hose pointed down, the only water that tries to get in will be from a wave on deck. All fittings that pass through the deck work in a similar way regarding water tightness. Once you have dryfitted the fitting, tape it, and the deck around it. Then, remove the fitting and apply an even layer of sealant to its underside. Put it back in place and carefully tighten it down. Clean up the squeeze out, and only pull the tape once the sealant is entirely cleaned up. For thru-bolted hardware, the process is almost identical, with one addition: only tighten the bolts down till the hardware is touching the deck so that you do not squeeze out all the sealant. Then, leave it to fully cure for several days (more in cold temperatures), so that it forms a molded gasket. Now, tighten the bolts down making sure to only turn the nuts on the inside. If the bolt turns with the sealant dry, it will break the seal and water will find a way in. Even when the sealant is liquid, you should do everything you can not to let

the bolt turn as it can push the sealant out and cause a leak. With wood and sheet metal screws you have no choice but to turn them, so do so carefully, and make sure you do not over tighten them. The fear we feel when we are about to make a new hole in our boat is good. It is the cue to make sure we can answer all the important questions about the hole before we begin. There are many words of caution, ”Measure 3 times, cut once” and its variations comes to mind. ”Plan your hole and follow your plan” might be more appropriate in this case. Bravery is not the absence of fear but doing it when you are scared anyway. Do not do something that you fear, blindly. Rather use the fear to focus your mind, to ensure that the cause of the fear is rendered moot. And once you have applied your focused mind to your desired project, you can enjoy the point of all this: Going sailing with peace of mind.

very boat that leaves port on an extended voyage has their own ‘mission critical’ list. The is the list of items that you just wouldn’t want to be without; those integral to the journey. Prior to departure, we had done a lot of research and reading and had a good idea about various items that we would need, and also added a few things that seasoned voyagers recommended to us. It turns out that our mission critical list has evolved on our journey. Things we may have taken for granted have been moved up the list, and others that we were sure we needed we don’t really use. Sails For us, the first item on our list is great sails. It seems pretty obvious that having reliable sails in good condition is a pretty important item for a sailboat, but we have been well pleased by how much easier our life is with the setup we have. We left Seattle with a full complement of sails, that were, for the most part, as yet new and unused. We have a 9.4-ounce NorDac crosscut mainsail with two deep reef points. We installed a StrongTrack and self tailing winch for easy hoisting, along with lazy jacks and a quick cover for a rapid drop-and-stow. The main goes up very smoothly and when we need to drop it in a hurry, it basically flakes itself and we need only zip the cover closed and it’s stowed! This is really nice to have when it’s blowing 25-30 knots. Our genoa is an 8.1-ounce, 150% Radian sail with a rope luff reefing pad on a new furler. We debated, briefly, the merits of a hanked-on headsail, but are really happy to be able to easily adjust

our sail area when the breeze is variable. The spinnaker is a NorLon .75-ounce full-size asymmetrical, with a snuffer. The snuffer was a gift, and as a former member in good standing of the Foredeck Union, I admit I may have scoffed at this addition. I was so wrong! We carry the spinnaker into the upper end of the range, and snuffing the kite doublehanded has been a treat. Having reliable sails that are easy to launch, and easy to reef when conditions change has been nothing short of delightful. We really appreciate our sails, and the flexibility we have for all sorts of weather conditions. As former sailboat racers, we also like to sail fast. We recently met some German cruisers who, upon learning our boat name, said, “We always see you on AIS... you guys are so FAST!”

(AIS) transponder & receiver. The AIS transmits and receives Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) information. We originally got this so that we could be tracked by friends and family, and some friends who have sailed all over the world recommended installing one on our boat. I don’t think either of us expected to rely on it so much – it has been a lifesaver! We have undergone many a passage in the dense fog or through the night where we were able to easily “see” who is around us, what sort of vessel they are, how fast they are going, and where they are headed. Likewise, vessels can glean the same information about us. Throughout our trip we have been hailed, by name, by tugs, cruise ships, ferries, and cargo ships in order to confirm our courses and discuss crossings. We are able to take evasive action many miles ahead of time if necessary. During one particularly foggy day in Snow Passage in Alaska, we were hailed by the Island Princess. The captain let us know he wanted to pass by starboard to starboard. I could see on the plotter that this was a massive vessel a couple of miles out off our port bow. By the time we had visual contact 41
You might think it’s obvious, but sails are totally mission crtitical! with what turned out to be the biggest cruise ship ever, they were fairly close and crossing our bow. With the ability to see that we were a sailboat, as well as our heading and speed, this captain was able to let us know his intentions, and request that we maintain course for a safe crossing. This also saved us from freaking out when this gargantuan ship appeared out of the fog dead on! We have gone through a handful of experiences like this – the AIS is a must! Autopilot and Windvane The heroes of our mission critical list are our autopilot and windvane. The Ardea came equipped with both. We have named each of them and
Toonces, the windvane, at the ready! 42
consider them crew! We didn’t start using the autopilot until the day we rounded Cape Caution, about a month into our voyage. Looking back, I can’t believe we drove hands-on for so long without it. On days that we are motoring or sailing in light conditions, our autopilot, Willoughby, makes for significantly easier passages. Now, we can’t imagine life without him. While one of the human crew always ‘has the helm’, not having to focus intensely on driving allows us to keep eyes out of the boat to look for traffic, obstructions, or our favorite cetaceans. We used the windvane for the first time on our passage from Neah Bay, WA to San Francisco, CA. The conditions were gnarly, and would have fatigued the heartiest hand-steering sailor in short order. By the end of the trip, the windvane had a name and we were mightily impressed by its performance. As the wind vane maintains a course heading relative to the wind, we needed only check our course heading and make small adjustments. That left us with the ability to marvel at the massive seas and enjoy the antics of the dolphins that accompanied us for this leg of the journey. Hand steering in big breeze and heavy seas is absurdly draining, and once we set our sails and course, we rely on Toonces to do the driving. We love this thing!
Most importantly, on the days when we are having a rough passage, wondering why we are doing this silly voyaging thing, or really missing our people, it’s incredibly nice to be able to reach out with a text to connect and get a little morale booster.
DeLorme InReach Our single best device for communication with the outside world has been our DeLorme InReach. This is a two-way satellite texting device, and an emergency beacon. Little did we know how much we would rely on it! In British Columbia, when we were 200 miles from any sort of civilization and our alternator went sideways, we were able to communicate with the alternator company and have a new one shipped to us, while a family member took care of finding a marina to ship to and reserving us a slip to limp into. The alternator arrived before we did! We have marveled at the ability to use it in places where there is no GPS coverage, and minimal VHF communication. We also keep in touch with family & friends by updating our social media or texting directly, and are able to get marine weather forecasts as well. It even has charts and navigation tools!
Our communication lifeline.

Watermaker Next up on the mission critical list is our watermaker. Our boat came with a great unit that is made in the Pacific Northwest. We left Seattle with full tanks of water, but no idea how to use our system (or even if it worked). Our first stop was Deer Harbor, on Orcas Island, to meet up with Dan from Aquamarine, and boy were we glad! We left with a new membrane, a box of filters, and a clear understanding of how to use our system to make water.
We knew when we headed out that there are long stretches in British Columbia, and up through the Inside Passage, that have no marinas where one could fill the tanks. We also didn’t know that the water in California is unpleasant for drinking, but learned after the first fill and have opted to fill all of our tanks with our own water since. We are currently in Mexico, and are happy to avoid filling the tanks here. Most of the marinas in Mexico actually have decent water, but we have gotten accustomed to really good, clean water, and don’t want to compromise this. Having the ability to “make water” from the sea offers us a lot of freedom to roam without concern that we will run out of good drinking water. Our watermaker will desalinate about 25 gallons of water per hour. We must run our motor to use it, which
also gives us a reason to feel a little better about passages without good breeze for sailing. The Ardea has three tanks, and holds 150 gallons. Through conservation and use of the saltwater pump for a number of tasks, we are able to go many weeks if we start with the tanks full. Fishing Equipment Fishing gear definitely makes the list. This is the one item that was not at all surprising. We eat fish, and we rely on our fishing gear to eat. When we are not eating fish we are eating things like beans and rice. While these can be tasty and nutritious, our bodies operate better on protein and vegetable matter, and after a few days we just really want some tasty fish snacks. We have all manner of rod, reel, and hand-line for various fisheries. We have caught many gorgeous salmon, ling cod, and rockfish in the Pacific Northwest, and have caught a plethora of tuna, mackerel, dorado, and yellowtail off the Pacific coast and in Mexico. For voyagers on a slim budget, this is an excellent investment, and one doesn’t need nearly this much gear as we have to be successful. Naturally, this also lends itself to lots of exciting fish stories and great photos, and a variety of delicious ways to prepare every type of fish. Solar Panels and Wind Generator The last item(s) on our list are our array of solar panels and our wind generator. Though we did quite a bit of research before installing them, we weren’t fully certain that they would be able to keep up with all of our energy needs. We put four 120 watt solar panels on the Ardea, wired in parallel, and we have a very nice, quiet, wind generator. These have kept our batteries happy and balanced for days on end, so if we don’t want to run the engine to charge with the alternator, we don’t have to. In Mexico, the breeze generally picks up in the late afternoon and continues into the late evening. Hence, when the solar panels stop generating power after sundown, the wind generator continues to supply power. We felt confident enough with this system to do our engine rebuild here (and we still have enough power to use the VitaMix for our tropical smoothies).
We are fully stoked on the sustainability of wind and solar power. Without these, we would have to use a lot more in the way of fossil fuels, or significantly change our consumption habits. We are quite appreciative that we are able to power and/or charge all of our systems and devices on board while keeping our Our solar array and windvane, makin’ battery juice! batteries in an optimal state. Along the way we have met people who don’t eat fish! voyagers who have none of the items I’m sure if you had asked us prior that we consider mission critical. to our departure for our mission critical We are intermittently awed and list it would have been a different occasionally shocked by what people list.

ASK THE SURVEYOR Hello Tom,
by Tom Averna
I recently had an Ericson 35 surveyed that I hope to own soon. When I looked through the survey, I didn't see any mention of the anchor and line. When I looked in the anchor locker there's an anchor and chain stored. Did the surveyor miss this? Adam Ryan Everett, WA Hi Adam, First, it’s great to be back writing for 48° North again. It’s been over six years since my last column. The surveyor probably did miss it if it’s not in the report. Every surveyor
I know includes the ground tackle in their report. It could have been looked at but not noted. You should call the surveyor and ask him/her to revise the report and include the ground tackle. If the surveyor overlooked the ground tackle it’s important they go back to the

boat and inspect the gear. The ground tackle is your insurance policy! It is gear that you will want to be in perfect order and operate without any flaws when you need it to. Proper ground tackle includes at least two complete sets, including anchors of the appropriate size and weight, chain, either all chain or a combination of chain and line, and the line. Proper ground tackle should also include strong, secure deck fitting such as cleats or sampson posts to secure the rode properly. Good ground tackle won’t do you any good if you can not deploy it or retrieve it easily. You must feel confident that when it’s time to drop the anchor the chain and line will not turn into a rat’s nest of tangles and knots in the chain locker making it almost impossible to deploy. Likewise, when you are ready to raise the anchor there will not be any surprises. I’ve seen lots of different ground tackle installations. Obviously a small daysailer like a Beetle Cat won’t need the same type of ground tackle system as a larger cruising sailboat. On a small daysailer, the ground tackle will most likely be stowed below deck and brought out on deck when needed. It will be light enough to do that. A cruising sailboat would benefit more from all the components necessary to operate the tackle from the deck. In this column I will focus more on boats designed and built for cruising, whether it be overnight on weekends, coastal cruising, or offshore cruising. During a survey I look at and note the type of anchor(s), the size and length of chain and the size and length of line. If there is a windlass I like to operate it to make sure it’s in good working order. The windlass, especially around
here, is a piece of gear that needs to be working well. When you’re anchored in 60’ plus and you have to raise the anchor hand over hand it’s gonna be a tough way to start the day. If you have to bring in the chain and line hand over hand you are working too hard. A good windlass, even a manual type is a plus for any cruising boat. Of course, if you want to come back from your cruise with the biceps of Popeye, do it all by hand. Keep in mind that these recommendations are for boats that plan on anchoring in relatively deep water, like up here. If you’re planning on cruising Florida and the Bahamas where you’re anchoring in 10’ to 20’ most of the time a windlass is not that necessary, if you’re in good shape. OK, let’s do a survey on the ground tackle. First, look at the anchor or anchors. Note the size and type. I recommend at least two complete sets of ground tackle. Are they heavy enough and the best type for the anchoring you intend to do? I’m not going to get into the various assortment and materials of anchors out there and which one is best. There are books written on that subject, but the bottom line is if it works for you and your boat, that’s the one! Even though it’s rare, look for any deformities, like bends in the fluke and shank, or any cracking. Anchors are, for the most part, well built. But there are some conditions that will push the anchor to its limit and cause some damage. Like anything else, with anchors you get what you pay for. Do not skimp on your ground tackle! Next, look at the attachment of the chain or line. If there are shackles, do they have the necessary seizing wire preventing the shackle from coming unscrewed? I did a damage survey on a 42’ Westsail that broke loose in relatively benign weather. The boat was anchored in a secure harbor and had been there for two weeks, so the anchor was well set. Unfortunately, the old saying “you’re only as strong as your weakest link” reared its ugly head. The weak link here was a five dollar schackle pin, that came unscrewed with the motion of the boat, detaching the anchor from the attached chain. All it would have taken was to wrap the shackle pin to the shackle body, preventing the pin from unscrewing.
Seizing wire on shackles. It took Tom a while to find a boat at the marina wire-secured shackles. Walk the docks at any marina and note how many boats do not use seizing wire in the shackles. In fact, when I walked the dock today to get some photos of shackles that were seized properly I had a hard time find any. There’s the weak link in the chain. Next, I usually pull out the line and chain from the chain locker or go below if there is decent access to the chain locker to inspect as much of the chain and line as possible. It’s unusual to find problems with the chain but every once it a while I do. Rusty chain, with links that are corroded and worn, weakens the chain. Replace the chain. The anchor line is inspected for any chafe spots, worn areas and general condition. Also, I like to make sure the bitter end of the line/chain is tied and secure to the boat. We all learn from our mistakes right? Once, while delivering a really sweet little schooner to Prince Rupert, we attempted to anchor in Friday Harbor. We found a good spot to anchor between the marina and the Labs and let go of the anchor. The chain kept coming out over the roller very quickly as it should. We were standing on the foredeck commenting on how deep the anchorage was when in silence we watched the last link of the chain go overboard. A 35# CQR and 250’ of www.48North.com
February 2017
chain were now sitting on the bottom not doing us any good. 24 hours later and our wallet a little lighter because we had to hire a diver to retrieve the gear and pay for a slip at the marina, we were on our way north a little wiser and more prepared. Check your bitter end! With the anchor and rode inspected I look at the deck fittings. The anchor roller frame, if there is one, is inspected for any deformities, like bending or movement. Check to see that the rollers aren’t binding and move freely. Also, make sure the anchor fits the roller properly. Does the anchor deploy easily from the roller? Can you retrieve and secure the anchor to the roller when raising the anchor? We’re spoiled around here. Most of the time when cruising the San Juan Islands and Gulf Islands we use moorings or tie up at a marina. If you sail further north you will be relying on your own ground tackle or even here if all the moorings are full and you have no choice but to anchor. Make sure your ground tackle is up to the job. You and your neighbor will sleep much better. Tom Averna is an independent marine surveyor specializing in sailboats.

The
LiveaboardFiles
by Savannah McKenzie
About four years ago my husband and I decided to move on to a sailboat. By itself, this decision might not seem that impulsive to 48° North readers. The fact that neither of us had ever set foot on a sailboat, much less sailed one, makes the decision seem a bit, well, crazy. We continue to live aboard and still have a lot to learn about sailing. While I may not be the most seasoned sailor, I definitely know what it’s like to live aboard. It’s an entirely different experience from sailing, cruising, and racing. Our experience has been at times frustrating, freeing, and often magnificent. I wanted to know if others felt the same way. So these interviews are for those who dream of tiny homes and hobbit holes, those who are curious about a different style of living, and my fellow liveaboards. My first interview is with Angela Brosius, a friend, former employer, and Shilshole community staple through her business Dockside Solutions. Being from a small town in Idaho, Angela didn’t grow up around boats. Like many people unfamiliar with boats, she wasn’t really even aware that living aboard was a possibility. That is, until she met her now husband, Scott, a little over 18 years ago. When they met, Scott lived aboard a 27’ sailboat down in Portland. This was Angela’s first experience spending any time aboard. Understandably, she felt the idea of living on a 27’ seemed too big (or small) a transition from land, and didn’t consider it a viable option. Shortly after they married, Scott and Angela took their first 46
charter together on a 44’ sailboat. After spending time on a boat a bit more spacious, Angela’s view of life below the hatch expanded. Not totally convinced, a year later Scott and Angela found themselves ready to search for a house. Before beginning the process, they took Scott’s boat for a three-week trip to Canada. The trip was amazing, so amazing in fact, that Angela’s mind had changed about living aboard. After some discussion, they decided, it was time to abandon the house search and look for a boat instead. Early one morning, Scott February 2017
www.48North.com
awoke to Angela and holding an ad for her dream boat. That was that, 17 years later they still live aboard Ghost, the Formosa 51, that she found that early morning, and they’ve never looked back. Well, except for that one time (to be discussed later). Ghost is 60’ overall, which was part of her appeal. Angela and Scott knew they wanted a family, and a family they got. Their two children, Zak and Ellie have grown up on Ghost. Their only time on land being a year long period while Ghost underwent a family friendly renovation 13 years ago. I asked Angela how she felt about this year long period of raising children on land. Her response, “I hated it.” I found this a surprising answer since much of my own family and friend’s resistance to our move involved concerns about raising little
ones aboard. For many, the idea of little tykes hopping between boat and dock is a stressful notion. Not for Angela and Scott. In fact, Angela felt her children were much safer on the docks. She explained that growing up on the dock had instilled a sense of responsibility in her children. Life jackets were a must, and at a very young age Zak and Ellie had learned to lock into their vests before going on deck and down the dock. She felt much less at ease in their temporary home, where a life jacket would do little to protect the kids from the dangers of a stairwell. I was curious what the transition was like from raising an infant to a teenager on a boat. Was one inherently more difficult? “Babies are easy,” She said. As they grew into toddlers, the space of a boat and its lack of lawn forced the Brosius family to venture out with the kids. The Leif Erickson monument at Shilshole and open gyms around Ballard became their backyard. At the age of seven, Zak learned how to drive the dinghy and their “backyard” expanded even further. As far as teens go, Angela says the kids keep so busy with sports, extracurriculars, and school that the space doesn’t seem as prohibitive. As with all things, boat life has its advantages and disadvantages. She said, and I can attest to this, “You have to be selective about what you bring on the boat.” No space can be wasted and this lends itself to a sort of forced minimalism. While the space is confining, there is a sense of freedom that comes with owning only what is necessary. The best part of living aboard? H a n d s d o w n , t h e c o m m u n i t y. Everywhere you look you see familiar faces. Angela said this was the hardest part of living on land. Community seems built right in to the experience of sailing, living aboard, and especially sharing a marina. Living on land felt lonely by comparison. This sense of community becomes obvious during the holidays. While their kids were growing up, on Halloween, Angela and Scott would put up signs around the marina to encourage trick or treaters. Everyone was invited and there was a big party
to follow the boat-to-boat trick or treating. At Christmas, Angela had always enjoyed the tradition of driving around the neighborhood to see the lights on houses. The Brosius’s decided to bring that tradition to the docks and the Lighted Dinghy Parade was born. Now, once a year, liveaboards bundle up and brave the cold to bring their neighbors holiday cheer with carols on festively decorated dinghies. Finally, I asked Angela her advice to anyone interested in boat life. She warned, “Do your research. Get as much information as possible.” They experienced more issues than expected after purchasing Ghost, and I think many liveaboards would concur that there will always be something to fix or upgrade. She says it’s not for everyone and that’s ok, “It takes a lot of organization. It’s not always great, but sometimes it’s AMAZING.” If you do choose to liveaboard Angela advises getting out on the water. Some of her favorite parts of living aboard have involved taking weekend trips to the San Juan Islands, sunset cruising, and getting together
with friends. “Really enjoy your boat as your home,” she says, and don’t forget to invest in a dehumidifier!” Angela Brosius is the owner of Dockside Solutions, a business that provides mailing and office solutions to liveaboards and cruisers who call Shilshole Bay Marina their home base.

Cruising to Barclay Sound by Conrad Wharton
It was mid April and still raining, even after two cups of coffee. It seemed miserable out, but we were motivated to make it to Ucluelet, most of the way to our spring cruising destination of Tofino. I reluctantly crawled into a set of full rain gear and got into the dinghy to retrieve our stern tie line. We had spent a full day already baking, reading, and hiking through the clinging rainforest to the far side of Effingham Island. The only trail, marked by hanging buoys and other flotsam, stayed deep under the canopy until it popped out at an ancient midden. Moss was slowly beginning to cover the shells, and grasses and trees had already longhidden an old longhouse structure. We followed the beach towards a sea cave,
turning around at the entrance when we realized we had followed a set of wolf tracks there. The tracks zig-zagged along the tideline, following the smells of the beach from driftwood pile to driftwood pile. They didn’t lead back out of the cave. The West Coast of Vancouver Island is a wild place, despite its close proximity to Seattle and Vancouver. Barclay Sound, at the southern end, is the most accessible from a southern sailing route. However, its western part is isolated in most other ways, a long and expensive drive from the mainland. At the southwest entrance to the sound, you’ll find the divided town of Bamfield. Bamfield is divided by two things: an inlet that wanders up
the middle of the town, and feuding neighbors running over each other’s crab traps set there. Show up in April, and here’s what you’ll find on your left (the side with a road): A large marine biology research center, a closed fuel dock, a hotel you can (and should only) stay in if your boat sinks, and a poorly stocked grocery store. On your right (water access): The Coasties, a well-stocked grocery store, eclectic housing for stray cats, and a fuel dock that’s open if you’re lucky. At the head: a WWII landing craft named the Black Pearl, driven by an extremely friendly, ex-drug-running tugboat driver/ current salvage logger who will let you know where to anchor. Sailing to the west coast in the off-

out into Loudon Channel. Never had we decided to end a sailing trip so quickly. We had put the jib up for maybe five minutes when we realized the size of the swell that the storm had brought and left behind. We hadn’t seen from our sheltered nook the amount of wind and wave action remaining outside. The complex terrain of reefs and rocks between us and Ucluelet was generating huge breakers, even inside of the initial outer reef break. Stay in the deep water, and you merely got a fun ride over the long swells. Find the wrong wave in the wrong shallow spot... we turned around and looked for another island to explore.
Above: The author checking out the chart for Barclay Sound. Right: Rowing near Turtle Island in the Broken Group. season, we discovered, is an exercise in patience. Hunker down too early in anticipation of a storm, and you might miss a good travel window. Push too far, or leave shelter too early, and expect to be humbled. In addition to the natural obstacles, bureaucratic and logistical hurdles present a few challenges. Clearing customs is best done by sailing to Victoria, and then westward in Canadian waters. Bamfield lacks a customs dock, and the Ucluelet port of entry is difficult to find definitive information on. Last spring, it didn’t open until May. This means that only two options for anchorage exist on your way to the west coast: Sooke and Port Renfrew. Sooke is a strange little bit of suburban Victoria, with derelict docks and unwelcoming local wildlife. Expect to compete with angry geese, and possibly deranged harbor seals, for access to shore power. There is one great reason to stop in Sooke, however: the marina shower has no timer on it. Port Renfrew is a bit more welcoming, with a decent pub. Unfortunately, all the docks are removed for the winter, and you’ll have to anchor. The most sheltered spot is inside the Pacific Gateway marina basin. We had picked our way out the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Bamfield, and from there into the Broken Group to explore. We saw no other cruisers. However, numerous sportfishing boats
danced in and out of the rocky coast, bobbing dramatically near curling reef breaks. The edge of your world is usually the center of someone else’s, and the locals of Barclay Sound seemed to crab, fish, and shrimp on all but the worst days. The Sound is also littered with relics of previous inhabitants. The exorbitant growth of the rainforest, and the extremity of the weather, means that some human marks disappear quickly. The cruising guide describes ancient stone fish traps as being clearly visible in some coves. We never saw one, despite rowing around for hours, trailing a posse of curious (hungry?) seals. But humans have been trying to make a living from the land for a long time there. Modern impacts are harder to miss. An abandoned mansion/ lodge looms over Robber’s Passage on Tzartus Island, broken windows eyeing the outer reef break. Logging scars rake the hillsides. Beachcombing is fertile, with everything from delicate corals to plastic barrels, to smashed chunks of boats. Nothing will make you consider the relative frailty of fiberglass like seeing an 8-foot-wide transom in a spruce tree. We had been waiting out a storm at Effingham Bay in hopes of sailing further northward, but were increasingly aware of the short time window we had to push on and still make it back to Seattle. After pulling the anchor, we poked our noses www.48North.com

While the swells of the Pacific may make you wish you were in the largest craft possible, the Broken Group is a world in miniature. Each tiny island looks like its own Bonsai arrangement, densely packed with driftwood, gnarled trees, and dangling moss. The closer you approach to each island, the greater the detail that emerges. The smaller the boat, the nearer you can get to the sea caves, small nooks, and fascinating detail of the islands. A shallow draft is also helpful to work your way around the many fiberglass-hungry humps and reefs. While the outer coast is a great testrun for bluewater dreamers, the option to trailer a boat to Port Alberni would provide an excellent option to explore in even the smallest sailboats. However you get there, enjoy the adventure. And, do your best to catch a sightseeing tour aboard the Black Pearl. Conrad Wharton lives aboard in Seattle, WA. 49
Scrambling Blissfully Together By Becca Guillote
It’s cool and overcast. There are three boats anchored in this postcard anchorage on Isla Espiritu Santo, three boats that have been cruising together on and off since finding respite from the abusive waters of coastal Oregon in the same harbor. If this were vacation, a short week’s sunny reprieve from a wet and dreary winter, perhaps this overcast day, the 3rd or 4th one in a row, would offend me. Instead, I throw on a fleece and sit in the cockpit sipping tea and absorbing the scenery as I do most mornings. We have good friends Michel and Jess cruising with us for the week, seasoned travelers that stay in good spirits despite the haze of rain moving our direction. The VHF cackles to life. There is a shore exploration mission forming. We agree to convene on the beach in a cruiser’s 10 minutes. Our crowd rouses and heads below to collect necessities; water, snacks, shoes (not always easy to locate), cameras, pants (a pathetic defense against the malicious cacti), and rain jackets. It’s a clumsy dance of four as we shimmy and shift across the boat locating items, accented with the bang of an elbow and a yelped swear word or two. Thirty minutes later, we pile into the dinghy and splash our way to shore, right on time. Between the three boats, there are seven in our scouting 50
party. We set off together on an easily identifiable goat trail across the flats and to the start of a canyon cutting between two rugged plateaus. Isla Espiritu Santo is an uninhabited island located 15 miles north of La Paz and separated from Isla Partida (also uninhabited) by a stretch of water no wider than a backyard creek. Formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago, the islands look haggard and beaten; the red sandstone strata jut forward from the cliff bands like poorly healed scars. The cliffs are dotted with intriguing dark caves and topped with weathered shrubs and cactus, defying all odds of life as they cling to the crumbling rocks. With our background sailing among the towering evergreens dripping with moss and fed by roaring salmon streams in the Pacific Northwest, an inviting environment teaming with life and fresh water, I am amazed at any living creature carving out an existence in this inhospitable world. The trail dissolves in a field of boulders and we start the scramble. We spread out as we each choose our own routes over and between boulders, up the scree and around fortified shrubs, all picking our way towards the least February 2017

intimidating approach up the exposed edge of the plateau. From the water, I thought the landscape looked somewhat monotonous; the land of red sandstone and green shrubs. Of course, as we climb, it is anything but monotonous. Up close, the sandstone reflects a thousand shades from dark grey to fire engine red; deep caves pique curiosity; narrow trails are dotted with goat droppings and nervous lizards; each turn offers a new perspective on the emerald bay below. We scramble along, chatting amiably and laughing together, as the rain quickens and the landscape transforms around us. There are a thousand new shades of sandstone red and a new deliciously fresh smell coming from a timid plant previously overlooked. It is a variety of spearmint, we determine, and it is heavenly. There is nothing direct about the paths we choose, nothing fast or efficient about our pace. We stop to peer into caves, to take pictures, to listen to a funny story, to help others across gaps, to inhale more spearmint goodness. We whistle and holler to hear the sounds reverberate back and forth through the canyon. It feels like the hills have joined in our fun, repeating our laughter and silliness across the island. Eventually, we clamor up on to the top of the plateau and breathe in the 360-degree view our height affords.
We snap the requisite photos, slurp down some water, rest propped against wet rocks. Then, we start to make our way down. But, it is not a trudging backtrack on a now familiar trail, it is not a disappointment. We pick out different routes on the way back down, uncovering new formations, caves and challenges. The rain dissipates and the sun peaks through, once again shifting the landscape around us. Back on the beach, no one is in a rush to move on. We sit on the edges of dinghies, removing shoes, stretching tired muscles, chatting and laughing as if we hadn’t just spent the better part of the day together. Jess, a friend visiting from Seattle, marvels at our lifestyle. How wonderful, she muses, to meet these interesting people, to get to slow down and enjoy the journey together. Much like that hike, I decide. We shared the goal to explore, though everyone approached the journey with varying speeds and diverse skills. When we set out, none of us knew how long it would take, what we would find, or even where we would end up. We embrace that unknown. In fact, we depend on it. It is in the space beyond
predictable that we find adventure and shape our experience. We are reminded daily that mother nature is in charge. That rain could have canceled the hike or simply made the rocks too slippery. Instead, it enhanced the colors, introduced a new living creature, and cooled us down. Sailing, hiking, sharing time with friends, it’s about the If the rock is too journey. And the rain only brings out brighter colors. slippery, we take a route around it. It turns out, that’s what this is all And here’s the pinnacle – the true about it.

Galley Essentials with Amanda Red Lentil Cauliflower Soup
I first met Sarah Curry in Tahiti. Over the cruising season, our island-hopping paths crossed numerous times. It was always a delight to share an anchorage with SV “Hydroquest” and hear Sarah’s stories, so much so that I’ve asked her to write this month’s Galley Essentials. Now an accomplished ocean voyager, Sarah presents entertaining and informative seminars at boat shows, including Seattle, and you can follow her adventures at www.svkaiquest.com - Amanda The sign said, “THE GALLEY: Help Wanted!” When I first saw it, I had to have it. The paperwork for our first offshore cruising boat, S/V Hydroquest, had just been finalized. My husband, Will, was still trying to sell me on the fact that she had a large, seaworthy galley: U-shaped, double sinks, with plenty of storage and prep space. “A galley fit for a Boat Chef!” he claimed. Hmm. I was game for the cruising lifestyle, but there were certain fears niggling away… The problem was that I considered myself a terrible cook. I was the girl who burnt eggs, and don’t even get me started on the frightful concept of preparing meat! Moving my less-thanadequate skills from a stationary kitchen and into a boat galley had me worried. How would I possibly produce anything edible? Therefore, my new-found sign described it perfectly: “THE GALLEY: Help Wanted!” What happened next surprised me. We moved aboard. I mounted my sign, found homes for my plastic plates, one dull knife, garlic car roller, retractable salad spinner/bowl, and spent time arranging spices in the galley’s one coveted drawer. I looked around my new space and felt… a sense of calm. 52
The Galley: Help Wanted!
by Amanda Swan Neal This galley was not grandiose, not expecting fancy things. My culinary self-deprecation began to seep away and within weeks a newfound confidence and motivation took over. That being said, any glitch could easily throw me off my game. Months later, friends Tara and Tim visited us in Mexico. I’d been having moments of panic knowing Tim is a ‘real’ chef and Sarah pointing to the “Help Wanted” sign, while anchored in Neiafu, Tonga
the open galley would have my technique (or lack thereof) subject to teasing scrutiny. It was an eventful start to the visit. As we motored out of Paradise Village Marina, squealing noises from the prop shaft led us to believe we’d possibly wrapped a rope around the propeller. We carried on with a rigorous upwind sail to Punta Mita, and sailed onto anchor as if it was something we did every day. Fortunately, our guests were having a great time and I was all set to dazzle them with a meal under the stars. Look how easy and carefree cruising is! You can imagine my horror when I went below at 8pm and the propane switch wouldn’t flip on. The breaker was toast. “I’m so sorry guys – we can’t cook tonight. It’s too late to tackle electrical work. How about peanut butter and banana sandwiches?” That was my idea of creative thinking under pressure. Will and Tara nodded in starving submission while Tim was incredulous. “Come on guys – this is an awesome challenge. It’s Dinner: Impossible – Boat Edition.” We set the timer for 30 minutes and gave him access to anything he needed. 35 minutes later we enjoyed the following amazing meal. No cooking required! Dinner Impossible: Boat Edition – Lettuce Wraps 1 15oz can black beans 1 15oz can corn ½ red onion - chopped 1 small zucchini - chopped 1 green pepper - chopped ½ cup cherry tomatoes - halved ½ cup cilantro - minced salt & pepper large lettuce leaves 1 avocado - diced red cabbage - diced cilantro - chopped

In a bowl combine first seven ingredients. Season to taste. Fill lettuce leaves with mix, then top with avocado, cabbage, and cilantro. Serve with the following Crema. Chipotle Cashew Crema ½ cup raw cashews ½ cup water 3 chipotle peppers from a can of chipotles in adobo 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 teaspoon agave nectar or another sweetener salt to taste Soak cashews in water for 8 hours or overnight. 2 hours in hot water can also suffice. Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth, about 2 minutes. One mistake we made in outfitting S/V Hydroquest was misjudging our fridge’s power demands. As soon as we arrived in French Polynesia, our watercooled fridge ran non-stop and our two dinky solar panels couldn’t keep up. Our only choice was to continue sans réfrigération. Luckily, by that point, I was on a gastronomical galley roll. Fridge – who needs a fridge? Canned goods – I can work with those. Cabbage obsession – I get it! After first coming to grips with your boats tropical power consumption, the next thing to master for the cruising life is a great potluck dish. For my potluck creations, I enjoyed the discovery of Mountain Bread; a versatile long lasting and non-greasy Australian flatbread and although expensive in North America, it can be found at Whole Foods. Sweet Chili Lentil Pockets 2 garlic cloves - minced 1 onion - diced 1 green pepper - diced 1 carrot - diced 1 large zucchini - diced 1 15oz can lentils 1 teaspoon curry powder sweet chili sauce 4 pieces Mountain Bread Saute garlic and vegetables in a bit of olive oil. Add lentils and curry and heat through. Cut each piece of Mountain Bread into three pieces lengthwise. Carefully spoon a dollop of mixture onto one end of a strip. Top with ½ a teaspoon of chilli sauce. Brush edges of the Mountain Bread with a little bit of oil. Wrap the content up into a triangle
and warm in the pan so that edges stick. Makes 12. As cooking is challenging enough for me, there’s no sense in trying to get complicated at sea, especially during the first few days of a passage. In my opinion, producing a warm bowl of anything edible is a feat. The truth is our favorite at-sea dinner is a warm canof-something; and in Papeete, Tahiti we stocked up on cans of ratatouille. In my expert opinion, this is best served over a bed of couscous because it doesn’t get easier than boiling the kettle for couscous. As we sailed further west we went mad over cans of Taste of India’s Lentil Dhal – produced in Fiji. Since selling Hydroquest in Australia and now cruising our second boat S/V Kaiquest in the Pacific Northwest, I love taking the time to re-create similar dishes in calm anchorages in my new galley. These meals are my favorites and definitely more delicious than their canned counterparts. And yes, the sign is featured prominently once again. Though I will never be the best cook, I would venture to say that help is no longer wanted… or needed.
Red Lentil Cauliflower Soup 1 tablespoons coconut oil 1 onion - diced 4 large cloves garlic - minced 4 tablespoons minced fresh ginger 1-3 tablespoons curry powder 1 teaspoon each of ground coriander and cumin 6 cups water 2 vegetable stock cubes 2 cups red lentils 1 cauliflower - chopped into florets 1 sweet potato - diced 2 handfuls baby spinach salt and pepper chopped cilantro for serving Saute onion and garlic 5 minutes. Stir in ginger, curry, coriander and cumin; saute 2 minutes. Add broth and lentils, bring to a low boil. Stir in cauliflower and sweet potato. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Season to taste, adding more curry, if desired. Add spinach and cook until wilted. This month, Amanda and John will be presenting their Offshore Cruising Seminar on February 4 at the Seattle Boat Show and February 25 in Vancouver. Details on www.mahina.com

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.

Three Tree Point
D u wa m is h Head
T
he Duwamish Head Race is back! We started and finished the whole race, ending a three year curse. Many sailors bundled up and braved icy docks and decks to kick off 2017 with our yearly trip to Elliott Bay, Blakely Rock, and with a little luck, back to Des Moines before midnight. It also marked the return of two Northwest icons. Dragonfly, a Formula 40 catamaran, came back out with a shiny new rig, and the Melges 32, Wicked Wahine, returned to the DTX racing program after long absence. Wicked Wahine chose the path less traveled in the race and finished first of the mortals, so I had to ask… what was the strategy? The secret of success? And how did they stay warm? Darrin Towe reports that they were able to make the velocity and shift changes with minimal losses because he had the same awesome mostly-Pistay-Family crew, albeit 54
with greyer hair and tighter foulies than he recalled. Instinctive reaction, quick adjustment, constant line tending, and eyes on the horizon were all keys to success. They picked up some cues that the west side was going to pay, and off they bravely went! On Nimbus, we missed the memo about the west side, and fully expected a southeasterly for most of the day, going north at hopefully an opportune moment. The wind came up before the start! It looked like it might g e t e x c i t i n g ! We February 2017

hoisted right at the pin and had life jackets on for an expected ride. However, the cruising classes weren’t hoisting in the distance and they weren’t getting any smaller. It wasn’t long before the fleet had wind from every direction, each taking turns zooming and parking. Good eyes and aggressive sail trim led to more zooms than sad slow moments, but there was plenty of both. At Alki, it made a big difference to look around and hop on each puff. Duwamish Head was also a good place to spend some time enjoying the skyline, and some enjoyed it for longer than others. Famous quote on Equus, “nothing fast is going to happen at this mark…” The reach to Blakely Rock was a drag race, and I don’t think anyone hit it! After rounding the rock, we faced a long beat back to Des Moines. The breeze was up! We were at the top end of genoas, with plenty of time left to finish. The beat was highlighted by warm hats and cold faces, hot drinks, running lights, and any way to keep the crew focused. Big boats like Equus had warm sake, hot sandwiches, and a heater below that was perhaps just a bit too toasty for their liking. They were having so much fun hanging Top: A beautiful photo of Tacoma, Mt Rainier and Matthew Gardner-Brown’s J/105, “Dulcinea.” Bottom: Brian White’s J/35, “Grace E” takes second in Class 4.
out by the heater playing with the instruments the skipper gave orders to “quit poking things down there!” and sent crew back to the deck. On the smallest of boats, your heater fit right in your pocket and warmed you from the inside out. We finished before dinner, soon enough to watch the second half of the Seahawks game at Anthony’s with fellow racers. One multihull finished the race, Pesce Volante, but we know that Dragonfly will be up and flying a hull again soon. Lou Bianco’s Crossfire led the race by half a leg and led the charge to get a score in the books, offering to finish boats for the race committee at Blakely Rock. Wicked Wahine pulled a strong second overall in her first race back, with Absolutely third in class an overall. It was a big boat day! Equus won Division 3 for her second time in the series, and the best buddy and rival skippers of Tantivy and Bravo Zulu rounded out the podium in that order. Division 4 had four J/35s, bringing back another one design fleet to the area. Great White finished on top, with Grace E of Tacoma in second. In Division 5, Poke and Destroy carried out the South Sound and Evelyn charge and finished ahead of the beach-believers of Dos and the bright-kite West Sound sailors aboard Dulcinea. Furniture class Division 6 was won by Bodacious and followed by South Sound favorite Cherokee. In the “Last but not Least” Division 7, the littler Evelyn Nimbus came up victorious once again. It was

In the Cruising Classes, Jolly Rumbalow led the NFS division, with Integrity on top in the kite-flying crowd. Next up! Toliva Shoal. Time to head far south in February. Side bets are being doubled down, and heaters or thermoses prepared.
