A workshop was held to inform Newport Beach residents how a unique plan was created to help manage eelgrass and allow for more cost effective dredging.

“This showed that there was definitely a need to have such a workshop.” Eelgrass earned a bad reputation over the years specifically for getting caught in boat engines and being an obstacle to dredging projects. Eelgrass, however, has high ecological value. An abundance of eelgrass means better water quality, increased fish populations and a better ecosystem overall, according to coastal habitat analysts and scientists. The ecological value of eelgrass served as the driving force behind Newport Beach’s push for boaters and residents to preserve and protect the marine plant. Briley said boaters could do their part by not navigating in certain areas of the bay or ocean. “Stay out of shallow areas where eelgrass is likely to grow,” Briley stated. If it is necessary to take a boat into a shallow area, Briley recommends checking a useful navigational map on Newport Beach’s website (bit.ly/2hz7lnY). Click on the most recent eelgrass survey under harbor layers and the locations for the big beds of eelgrass are highlighted in yellow. Once boaters know where the big patches of eelgrass are, they can avoid those areas. “Also local residents can help by

By Nina K. Jussila NEWPORT BEACH — “Living with eelgrass in a recreational harbor” was the topic of discussion at a Newport Beach workshop held in November. The purpose of the workshop was to explain the importance of eelgrass to boaters and residents as well as answer questions about the unique plan the city put in place for dredging projects. Marine Restoration Director Sara Briley of Orange County Coastkeeper, Harbor Resource Manager of Newport Beach Chris Miller and dredging contractor Adam Gale of Anchor QEA were the three presenters at the workshop. There were 35 local residents in attendance. Most attendees had very specific questions about their docks and their particular situation. “By the number of questions asked, it became apparent that not as many people know about the eelgrass plan as previously thought,” Briley told The Log.

Advisory board hopes to make harbor a destination for boaters while ensuring its long-term welfare. By Nina K. Jussila NEWPORT BEACH — The Newport Beach’s Harbor Commission held its final meeting of 2016 aboard a ferry, where commissioners discussed future plans and provided a tour of the harbor. Commissioners approved the agency’s proposed objectives for 2017 and addressed how the commission’s goals would be realized during the Dec. 10 meeting. The city advisory board announced two main goals for 2017: “to ensure the long term welfare of Newport Harbor for all residential, recreational and commercial users;” and “promote Newport Harbor as a preferred and welcoming destination for visitors and residents.” As the ferry tour took city officials, residents and members of the press around the harbor, commissioners pointed out areas in need of improvement and discussed plans to make Newport Bay a safer place.

One strategy to help ensure security in the harbor was the creation of a subcommittee to survey whether safety regulations are being practiced, according to commissioners. “The plan is to make it mandatory for all rental customers to be informed of the rules and best practices of safe navigation in the harbor,” Harbor Commission Chair Paul Blank stated. Just as Blank made this statement, two paddleboards paddled by the ferry on the wrong side of the harbor. Commissioners also acknowledged there is an aging population of boats in the harbor. Measures are being taken to remove derelict vessels out of the water, commissioners stated. The commission expressed its support of Harbor Patrol’s efforts to identify and remove derelict boats from Newport Bay. Newly elected City Council member Brad Avery spoke about the objective to make the harbor a more welcoming destination for both locals and visitors. The Harbor Commission plans to complete an evaluation of the Turning Basin anchorage and present a recommendation to the City Council. Avery and his commission colleagues have pushed for a free anchorage in the Turning Basin, giving visiting

Keeping abandoned vessels out of local waters requires a team effort Local harbors and marinas continue to apply for funding to help recreational boaters address a major marine debris issue. By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE — We have allowed many forms of junk to enter into our oceans, rivers, lakes and other waterways: cigarettes, plastic bottles, aluminum cans and boats, to name a few. Derelict recreational boats do not have to be a problem in local and regional waters. There are plenty of programs available for recreational boaters, allowing them to take proactive measures to dispose of unwanted vessels at limited to no cost to their bank accounts or the environment. Abandoning a vessel in the water could result in fines, property liens and jail time, according to Cal Boating staff. A few options are available to boaters who are unable to keep up with their vessels (or if calamity causes the boat to become damaged). Boaters here in California are mostly aware of the state-sponsored Abandoned Watercraft Abatement Fund (AWAF) and Vessel Turn-In Program (VTIP), two initiatives aiming to keep recreational vessels from being left for dead out of our oceans, lakes and rivers. City and county agencies up and down the California coast have applied for and been awarded funding to remove abandoned recreational vessels from harbors and rivers. Nearly 2,000 recreational vessels were removed from state waterways through AWAF, which has been in effect since 1999. The average cost to remove each abandoned boat, according to state officials, was $3,300. Another 350 recreational vessels, at an average cost of $1,400 each, were removed from waterways since VTIP was established in 2010. California officials have urged recreational boaters to take advantage of VTIP. The program allows owners of an inoperable or derelict vessel to surrender their boat to a local agency. An alternative to VTIP is recycling. Boat dealers or salvagers might accept your vessel in hopes of reselling its parts on the open market. These dealers and salvagers, however, are not associated with VTIP, according to state officials. Whether you recover any money for your derelict or inoperable vessel is up to the dealer or salvager.

Another option is to dismantle your boat. Expect to pay $50 to $200 per foot to have the boat dismantled and transported away (though exact costs may vary beyond the stated range). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) launched an abandoned and derelict vessel “InfoHub” in November 2015 as a go-to source for information about funding, policy and removal efforts. NOAA awarded more than $1.1 million to organizations and state agencies in 2016 to fund marine debris removal programs, including abandoned and derelict vessel projects in Oregon, Puerto Rico and Texas. Other states have also taken steps to address the abandonment of vessels in their waterways. Legislators in Michigan, for example, pushed to streamline the process of how an abandoned vessel goes from a ditched eyesore in the water to a boat auction (and a new owner). Back here in Southern California, a handful of cities have initiatives in place to minimize or completely eradicate the existence of abandoned or derelict vessels in their waterways. The city of Newport Beach, for example, has taken advantage of a state law allowing abandoned vessels in Harbor Patrol custody to be auctioned away. Auctions have been held since 2003. Newport Beach’s Harbor Resources Department also applies for AWAF grants to help them remove as many abandoned vessels as possible. Members of the city’s Harbor Commission say they will continue supporting efforts to remove derelict vessels from Newport Beach Bay. To date, the Harbor Patrol has removed 28 abandoned or derelict vessels from the bay. Harbor Resources staff said the department received a $125,000 grant from the state to assist its removal efforts. Each derelict vessel costs between $2,500 and $8,000 to remove and salvage, according to city staff. Derelict vessels require about two weeks to be removed from the water. The Port of Los Angeles hopes to address abandoned or derelict vessels through its Clean Marina program. Port officials specifically stated they would apply for AWAF or VTIP grants from Cal Boating and “evaluate the feasibility of establishing a program to assist port marinas and boaters to properly dispose of abandoned/derelict boats.” Other harbors and marinas have taken advantage of AWAF or VTIP See STANDING WATCH page 9

Put down the pitch forks and let’s educate ourselves I think people should educate themselves on the process of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) before they reach for their pitch forks. It may very well save our economy, our country and our environment. The building and construction of enormous windmills and acres of solar panels are having a much bigger impact on the environment than fracking may ever have. We need to get past this witch hunt mentality we seem to have with talking about fossil fuel, and remember clean burning and abundant natural gas are also extracted by fracking. It may well prove to be the answer to our long term energy needs. Daniel Reifka

Can My Boat Host Dockside Catered Meetings With No Captain Aboard? By David Weil, Esq.

Q

I would like to use my boat as a dockside platform for catered meetings -- sort of a floating conference room. Can you tell me where I can find the Coast Guard regulations that concern activities aboard a vessel that is tied to a dock with passengers? Must a licensed captain to remain aboard, even if the boat never left the dock? Legal analysis often requires reference to more than one place for a complete answer. Coast Guard regulations are a good example of this process, so it may be helpful to walk through the analysis of our reader’s question regarding the operation of a vessel that remains tied to a dock. The various regulations and statutes that require a license for vessels carrying passengers for hire make no distinction as

A

to whether the vessel is under way or not. They simply define the vessel without reference to what it may be doing at the time. As such, you won’t find a simple regulation that says “boats tied to docks with passengers need a licensed captain.” Instead, a boat owner must look to regulations concerning vessel manning requirements and the regulations that define a “vessel.” In this case, the analysis starts with the definition of “vessel” in the U.S. Code. Specifically, 1 U.S.C. §3 defines a “vessel” as “every description of watercraft or other artificial contrivance used, or capable of being used, as a means of transportation on water.” Simple enough, but this is where we need to start. Next, we look at what the vessel will be used for. In this case, our reader will have passengers for hire aboard the boat. We know that because

46 U.S.C. §2101(21) provides a long definition of “passenger,” which can be summarized as anyone who is aboard the boat except for the owner or owner’s representative, or the captain or the crew. And, 46 U.S.C. §2101(21a) defines “passenger for hire” as a passenger for whom payment to the owner is required as a condition for boarding the vessel. Our reader will be charging people to be aboard the floating conference room, so those people will qualify as passengers for hire. Before going further, we need to know a little more about our reader’s plans. How many passengers are expected to be aboard at one time? When read together, 46 U.S.C. sections 2101(22), 2101(35) and 3301 require comprehensive Coast Guard inspections of the vessel’s structural condition, fuel, electrical, fire and mechanical systems, safety See attorney page 22

Fast Facts: Humphrey Bogart the Sailor By Parimal M. Rohit

On Board With Johnson

by J.R. Johnson

Actor Humphrey Bogart has long been associated with a famous misquote (he never said “Play it again, Sam”) and one of the most recognized Hollywood romances of all time (Lauren Bacall). His name also continues to live on in the boating and sailing world. The one-time Best Actor winner (“The African Queen”) ditched Warner Bros. in 1948 and launched his own production company – a rarity for a Hollywood actor in those days. Bogart named the company, Santana Productions, after his sailing yacht. Santana, a 55-footer built in 1935, claimed the Schooner Trophy in the 1938 Newport-to-Bermuda race and was featured in the 1948 film “Key Largo.” Bogart reportedly purchased Santana for $50,000 in 1945 and owned it for the remainder of his life. He spent many weekends taking Santana to White’s Landing or Cherry Cove at Catalina Island. In 1948, the actor pitted Santana against 104 other vessels in the Newport-to-Ensenada race. Bogart made headlines after the race when he, his wife (Bacall) and three others visited Coronado

Yacht Club. “Younger looking than on the screen, Mr. Bogart was tanned from the recent week at sea, racing with 104 other craft from Newport Harbor to Ensenada,” a Coronado Compass reporter wrote about the Bogart-Bacall visit on May 4, 1948. One year later, Bogart donated a perpetual trophy to the Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference’s women championships. It has been awarded 27 times since 1949, most recently in 2014 to Madeline Kennedy and Katrina Berry of the University of Hawaii. Sailors from Stanford University won the Humphrey Bogart Trophy 16 times. Sources: IMDb.com, Newport Daily News, Sports Illustrated, Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference

Blips on the Radar Pres. Obama signs Water Resources Development Act into law What Happened: The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) – also known as the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act – officially became law Dec. 16. Pres. Barack Obama signed the WRDA/ WIIN Act into law, authorizing nationwide efforts to improve waterways, restore watersheds and provide cleaner drinking water. The new law will help provide funding for infrastructure projects at local channels and harbors. “In the long-term, it invests in a number of water projects to promote water storage and supply, flood control, desalination, and water recycling,” Obama said in a released statement. “These projects will help assure that California is more resilient in the face of growing water demands and drought-based uncertainty.” What’s On Tap: The WRDA and WIIN Act, in addition to financially supporting infrastructure projects, would also provide $170 million to communities with drinking water emergencies similar to one experienced in Flint, Michigan. “The Water Resources Development Act fulfills Congress’ commitment to support and improve America’s water resources infrastructure, which is critical to our Nation’s economic competitiveness and domestic security,” a House Transportation Committee statement read. “WRDA invests in America to ensure that we are prepared for this growth and that the United States can compete globally with a 21st century infrastructure.” Obama said California would be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the WRDA/ WIIN Act. “Building on the work of previous administrations, my administration has worked closely with the State of California and other affected parties to address the critical elements of California’s complex water challenges by accommodating the needs and concerns of California water users and the important species that depend on that same water,” Obama stated.

By Parimal M. Rohit The organizations met at the Grow Boating Summit, which was held just outside Chicago on Dec. 13 and 14. Industry stakeholders have funded the Discover Boating marketing campaign to raise awareness and increase participation of recreational boating activities. What’s On Tap: The stakeholders hope the Discover Boating marketing campaign will continue to serve as a source of referrals and boat-buying customers, according to news reports.

Staff at The Parley Foundation requested Avalon staff and council members to extend the exhibition another 90 days. Council members approved the extension at their Dec. 20 meeting. What’s On Tap: Divers will be able to visit the underwater modern art exhibition inside Avalon Harbor through March 2017, three months beyond the initial run period.

Funding for Discover Boating campaign will continue, according to coalition What Happened: The national “Discover Boating” campaign needs to continue if the recreational boating industry is to have any growth among younger generations, a coalition of boating advocates reportedly agreed to at a two-day summit in Rosemont, Illinois. Leaders from three industry organizations – Grow Boating, National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and Marine Retailer Association of America – agreed funding of the Discover Boating campaign must continue if they hope younger generations incorporate recreational boating into their lifestyles.

Management position was vacated after Brad Gross’s resignation in May 2016. By Parimal M. Rohit DANA POINT — Changes are afoot yet again at Dana Point Harbor, where a new manager could be installed within the first few weeks of 2017. OC Parks, the county department charged with overseeing operations at Dana Point Harbor, announced it is searching for a harbor manager. The job posting was found on Orange County’s human resources webpage. Applications are being accepted through Jan. 4, 2017. Dana Point Harbor has been without a dedicated harbor manager since the venue’s independent Harbor Department was collapsed into O.C. Parks in May. The management change coincided with the resignation of thenHarbor Director Brad Gross. The new harbor manager position, however, would be a post dedicated exclusively to Dana Point Harbor operations – although it does not appear he or she would oversee a stand-alone department as Gross did for so many years. “The harbor manager is a senior level management position within the OC Parks South Coastal Operations Group. The harbor manager reports to a parks division manager, and works collaboratively with the coastal operations manager, park rangers and maintenance staff responsible for operation and maintenance of the county’s beaches and coastal facilities within the cities of Laguna Beach and Dana Point,” the official job post stated. “The harbor manager is primarily responsible for the successful administration of the multiple operating agreements, through which the commercial amenities (retail, hotel, and marina facilities) are managed and maintained on a day-to-day basis,” the job post continued. Other listed responsibilities included administration of the contract operators

and primary contact for budget questions or tenant concerns. “The [new harbor manager] will also serve as the primary point of contact between operators/tenants/boaters and county agencies such as OC Parks (coastal operations and maintenance), CEO Real Estate (lease compliance and development), Public Works (facility rehabilitation and capital improvement), and OC Sheriff (harbor patrol),” the job post stated. “The harbor manager will be responsible for successful interface with other local government and regulatory agencies such as the city of Dana Point, California Department of Boating and Waterways, California Coastal Commission, Water Quality Board, etc., who have jurisdiction and/ or influence over the operation of Dana Point Harbor,” OC Parks’ call for applications continued. Rodger Beard of Dana Point Boaters Association said local harbor users expected OC Parks to ultimately hire a dedicated professional to manage the city’s waterfront. The only question, Beard pointed out, was whether the new harbor manager, once hired, would operate Dana Point Harbor as a boating venue or shopping mall. “Having a dedicated, full time harbor manager is something we’ve expected and knew was coming for several months. OC Parks has been saying that they intended to do this all along. Creation of this position was a key assumption in their regaining responsibility for the harbor during reorganization last summer, coinciding with the resignation of Brad Gross,” Beard told The Log in an email. Beard said the new harbor manager should be more than a real estate professional or property manager; he or she must also have maritime experience. “A mistake here could be a disaster for our entire harbor with P3 [publicprivate partnership] redevelopment on the horizon,” Beard said. “What we need is a candidate with a proven, successful track record in managing large, publicly owned, water and land based marinas and maritime operations too, rather than just settling for one of the

Orange County seeks new director for Dana Point Harbor

Orange County is searching for a manager to oversee day-to-day operations of Dana Point Harbor. The waterfront venue in south Orange County was under the direction of OC Parks since Brad Gross’s resigned as Dana Point Harbor’s director in May.

relatively plentiful candidates available in Southern California with just real estate and/or property management experience.” He added Dana Point Harbor’s boaters have become an afterthought in recent years, with the local commercial core taking priority over boating interests. Will boating interests have greater priority under the new harbor manager’s tenure? “Our fear here was that our harbor might again be managed as a shopping center and sales tax generator, rather than a safe harbor and place for boats that also is a park and has retail operations,” Beard said, adding responsibility of marina and waterside operations have been overlooked for decades. Blackwood would still be involved with Dana Point Harbor regardless of who is selected as the new harbor manager, according to an OC Parks spokesperson. “OC Parks Director Stacy Blackwood will still provide high-level oversight of harbor operations, just as she does for other OC Parks facilities. This position will report up through our Division Managers and Deputy Director to the Director,” the spokesperson stated. “Like our other operations managers, the Harbor Manager will provide day-to-day oversight and work with the Division Managers and Director to ensure operations run smoothly,” she continued. “This position will be a key

senior manager position within OC Parks focusing on day-to-day engagement with boaters, merchants and other key stakeholders in the harbor.” The job announcement listed the annual salary range for Dana Point Harbor’s new manager as $76,960 to $136,760. Benefits include retirement through Orange County Employees’ Retirement System (OCERS), 12 paid holidays per year, vacation, sick leave, health and dependent care reimbursement accounts, dental, $100,000 life insurance policy and paid short- and long-term disability, among others. The position is expected to be filled within the next few months, according to OC Parks. Gross’s tenure as the harbor’s long-time director came to an end in May, when the county auditor’s office released a report detailing abuse of a hotel discount program at Dana Point Harbor Inn. Mark Denny, who then served as Orange County’s COO, was designated to oversee operations at Dana Point Harbor alongside his other management duties. Denny’s tenure as the go-to person for Dana Point Harbor operations ended in October, when the county executive accepted a job as Dana Point’s deputy city manager; OC Parks Director Stacy Blackwood succeeded him and is currently in charge of harbor operations.

funding as well, hoping to have the resources available to tackle abandoned/derelict vessels head on. Of course port, harbor and marina officials throughout California have legal authority (under certain conditions) to remove abandoned or derelict vessels from public tidelands. Local and state officials certainly hope to minimize or eliminate the

number of abandoned/derelict vessels from California’s waterways, but boaters need to take action as well. Obviously abandoned or derelict vessels are not always at the fault of the boater – as the owners of beached boats in Dana Point (2015) and near Marina del Rey (2014) will tell you – but initiatives like AWAF and VTIP help soften the financial blow of removing an inoperable or faltering boat from the water.

project. Then they had to monitor the eelgrass for 5 years after that and meet very specific success criteria,” Briley said. “If they didn’t meet the success criteria, then they had to pay the consultant to do even more work. That is where the negative perception [about eelgrass] comes from.” Eelgrass mitigation efforts and cost have gone down considerably with RGP-54 and Newport Harbor Eelgrass Protection and Mitigation Plan in play. As reported at the workshop, the city received more than 67 applications in the past year. More than half have received approval to dredge, and several

have already completed their dredging projects. RGP-54 and Newport Harbor Eelgrass Protection and Mitigation Plan work together and allow eelgrass to be temporary impacted for dredging projects. “Eelgrass acreage is up right now and doing really well, because of the drought,” Briley said. “There is over eight acres in upper Newport Bay, and we haven’t seen that since the 1960s.” This is good news as the more eelgrass there is, the more dredging projects will be allowed. Information about dredging permits and the application process is available on Newport Beach’s website at bit.ly/2hQFClD.

the thousands out of pocket – when they don’t have an annual BoatUS towing plan. Manley, the maritime jack-of-all-trades, got his sea legs as a youngster fishing off the New Jersey coast. After several years running a demolition and construction business in his home state, he left the cold and snow behind and headed to the islands where he built marinas, ran fishing charters and boated for pleasure. “The sun and saltwater do me a lot of good,” he explained. St. Thomas and the surrounding waters are vibrant boating areas attracting both locals and snowbirds who cruise south from the U.S. mainland. TowBoatUS St. Thomas is based at Ruans Marine in Banner Bay on the east end of the island. In addition to St. Thomas, it covers the islands of St Croix and St. John in the USVI and Puerto Rico’s Culebra and Vieques, known as the Spanish Virgin Islands. TowBoatUS St. Thomas has two bright red assist boats: a 29-foot Fountain powered by twin 150-hp outboards and a 33-foot Bertram with twin diesels. The TowBoatUS name is emblazoned in bright white letters on their hulls, and each are fully rigged for towing and salvage, with powerful pumps, battery jump packs, dive gear and extra fuel. Boaters can reach TowBoatUS St. Thomas by hailing on VHF channel 16, calling the company directly at 340-2012820, by phoning the BoatUS toll-free 24/7 Dispatch Center at 800-391-4869, or via smartphone using the free BoatUS Towing App. More information can be found at BoatUS.com/towing or call 800-888-4869. TowBoatUS St. Thomas is one of four BoatUS ports outside the mainland US. The others are located in Vancouver, Gulf Islands and Georgia Strait in British Columbia, Canada. TowBoatUS Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach can also assist boaters in the western Bahamas.

Falling fish knocks out power in Seattle SEATTLE (AP) — Utility officials say a falling fish knocked out power to nearly 200 customers in Seattle. Seattle City Light said a witness reported seeing a bird drop the fish. It was presumably one of the eagles or ospreys that hunt in the nearby Duwamish River. A crew investigating the outage walked the power lines and found what workers described as an electrocuted salmon. City Light says birds often cause power outages. In fact, 162 birds in the city last year have knocked out power. Raccoons are another common culprit. However, spokeswoman Connie McDougall says this is the first time she’s heard of a fish knocking out power. Power was out for about two and a half hours due to the fish falling from the sky.

Port of Long Beach releases on-dock rail facility draft environmental study LONG BEACH — The Port of Long Beach released a draft environmental study on Dec. 15. The proposal is to redevelop a rail yard to allow for the assembly of longer trains within the Harbor District, moving cargo faster while making operations more sustainable. The proposed Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility would shift more cargo to “on-dock rail,” where containers are placed directly on trains at marine terminals. No trucks would visit the facility. The rail yard would be operated by Pacific Harbor Line, a switching railroad that has converted its fleet to clean diesel locomotives that reduce air pollution and save fuel.

beneficial relationship. We have long admired the values and the reputation that Bavaria has established over the years,” was the statement from JK3. The Bavaria Virtess 420 Fly, Sport 450 and Sport 400 will be making their West Coast debut at this year’s San Diego Sunroad and Seattle boat shows. Each model exudes luxury and sportiness with unique spaciousness both above and below deck. For more information visit jk3yachts.com.

“The proposed development would enhance the efficiency of goods movement at the Port of Long Beach,” Interim Chief Executive Duane Kenagy said. “This project is vital to our efforts to modernize the port and continue to lead the way in environmental sustainability.” The port prepared a draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) analyzing the impacts of the proposed development, and the mitigation measures that would be used to address those impacts. The document is available online at polb.com/ceqa. The port welcomes comment on the study through Feb. 13, 2017. Two public hearings will be held in January to offer the public an opportunity to comment in person on the document. The first hearing will be held Jan. 11 at 6 p.m. The location for this meeting is Silverado Park, 1545 W. 31st St., Long Beach, California 90810. The second public hearing is Jan. 18 at 6 p.m. The location for this hearing is Port of Long Beach Interim Administrative Offices, 4801 Airport Plaza Drive, Long Beach, California 90815.

Tales of yachts, sailors and dogs in Southern California MARINA DEL REY — Longtime yacht broker Steve Curran, owner of California Yacht Company, has partnered with writer-

producer Michael Kerr to create sponsored “storytelling” online videos about the yachting lifestyle in Southern California. The YouTube channel, Marina del Rey Yacht Tales, launched on Dec. 25. The videos vary in format from a documentary style reality (Cameron & Crew) to a scripted with actors web-series (Jimmy @ Sea). There will also be silly viral videos called Yacht Dogs which will include montages of 10 second clips of sailors and their dogs with commentary in both human and canine languages.

DWR commissions Its new research vessel; the Sentinel will be at forefront of water quality SACRAMENTO – The Department of Water Resources (DWR) today commissioned a new research vessel as a state-of-the-art replacement for the San Carlos, which since America’s bicentennial year has been monitoring water quality in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and upper San Francisco Estuary. The Sentinel is a floating laboratory whose mission is to protect water quality. The flagship of DWR’s Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) enables staff to conduct water quality, nutrient and lower trophic (phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos) monitoring of the Delta. The research vessel plays a critical role helping to meet water quality objectives and the mandated requirements of biological opinions issued by the courts to guide water quality issues in the Delta. The Sentinel was named by DWR Director Mark W. Cowin, who is retiring at month’s end after a 36-year career at the Department. Cowin named the vessel to honor the late Laura King Moon, DWR’s former Chief Deputy Director who passed away in 2015. “Laura King Moon worked tirelessly as a guardian of California’s water supply and its environment,” Cowin said. “This new research vessel is dedicated in her memory.” Moon was an environmental champion who dedicated her 38-year career to resource and water policy. The Sentinel’s commissioning took place aboard the historic Delta King on the Sacramento River in the Old Sacramento Historic District. During the ceremony, Cowin drew a comparison between the era of the Delta King’s commissioning in the 1920’s and the current era. “We are experiencing a period of great change – climate change, political change and changes in water management,” he said. “I think we can agree that the Sentinel is a welcome change.” The Sentinel replaces the San Carlos, which provided valuable service for the past 40 years gathering information that informed water quality analysis, biological opinions and State Water Project (SWP) decisions. Cowin said it was time for a “new guardian of the Delta waters to greet new challenges.” Design and construction of the Sentinel was accomplished with funding from the SWP’s 29 contractors. The construction project began in February 2015, and builder Vigor Industrial of Seattle launched the vessel in October. Sea trials have been occurring since the launch. The Sentinel’s characteristics: 60 feet in length, 24-foot beam, and a draft of 3 feet 6 inches.

NEWPORT BEACH — Harbor Commissioner Brad Avery secured the District 2 seat for Newport Beach City Council on Nov. 8. The District 2 seat represents Newport Heights, Newport Coast and Newport Shores. Avery was elected to the dais with 58.4 percent of the vote. Avery brings a lot of experience with the city and the harbor of Newport to his new role as City Council member. In addition to being a Harbor Commissioner and City Councilmember for Newport Beach, Avery serves as the director of Orange Coast College’s marine program and the president of the Catalina Island Conservancy Marineros Group. Not to mention, he is a member of the Board of Advocates for the Oasis Senior Center in Corona del Mar. He is also a staff Commodore for Newport Harbor Yacht Club and for Transpacific Yacht Club. “Brad will have a lot of new ground to cover and become familiar with in his role as a Council member,” Harbor Commission Chair Paul Blank said about his colleague. “He has great academic skills, and I expect he will quickly master all that is put before him. Brad is very thoughtful and thorough in his deliberations. His head and his heart are both deeply committed to our city and community.” Newport Beach Mayor Diane Dixon said she expects Avery to join Council member Marshall “Duffy” Duffield in being an advocate and resource for local boating and harbor issues. “Brad is a terrific addition our City Council. He will add particular strength and expertise in harbor related mat-

ters (in addition to Council member David Duffield) by bringing renewed focus and understanding on harbor issues,” Dixon stated. “The harbor is one of our city’s key economic drivers. We need to protect the quality of our waters and adequately allocate necessary resources to maintain Harbor infrastructure.” Blank shares similar sentiments as the mayor about Avery being a part of the Newport Beach City Council. “I am very pleased that Brad stepped forward from the Harbor Commission and now is stepping up to the City Council,” Blank said. “It will be great to have another strong advocate for the harbor on the Council alongside Council member Duffield. I’ve enjoyed working with Brad on the Harbor Commission.” As a newly elected City Council member for Newport Beach, Avery in fact plans to preserve and protect the city’s natural resources which he acknowledges ultimately “improve the quality of life.” He is motivated to help with harbor initiatives such as water quality and dredging projects. The strategy to improve water involves keeping pollutants from entering the upper and lower bays. He also stressed the importance of facilitating dredging plans to ensure the harbor is deep enough for both homeowners and boaters. The Newport Beach Harbor Commission has been working on various endeavors to benefit boaters and businesses along the harbor. Public docks allow for more access to the harbors and have been added to such locations as Marina Park and Cannery Restaurant. Avery would like to see more (and larger) public docks become available. He is also pushing for Newport Harbor to have more areas for people to launch small boats, kayaks and paddleboards. A native Californian and resident of Newport Beach, Avery has lived

Port of San Diego updates lease for Sunroad Marina, resolves dispute with San Diego Yacht Club Settlement reached in legal dispute between port district and San Diego YC.

SAN DIEGO — Two lease agreements on the Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners’ consent calendar agenda were approved Dec. 13, with one approval maintaining current levels and the other amending terms to reflect the end of a legal dispute. Sunroad Marina will enter into the next phase of its lease agreement paying the port district the same minimum annual rent as current levels. Rental terms for San Diego Yacht Club, however, were updated to reflect a settlement agreement the organization reached with port district officials. The settlement agreement ends a legal dispute between both parties.

The Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners updated its lease terms for the 600-slip Sunroad Marina and came to terms on a legal dispute with San Diego Yacht Club during its Dec. 13 meetings. Sunroad Marina will continue its current lease arrangement with the port district through January 2027. Meanwhile San Diego Yacht Club’s dispute with the port district finally came to an end when both parties agreed on rent calculation methods.

Sunroad Marina lease Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution to establish lease terms between the port district and Sunroad Marina, a 600-slip marina at Harbor Island. Lease terms were adjusted in

December 2015 and would remain in place during the upcoming 10-year period from Feb. 1, 2017 to Jan. 31, 2027. Sunroad’s minimum annual rent of $900,000 will remain in place when the next 10-year lease segment takes effect

in February. The marina paid the port district, on average, nearly $1.2 million annually between August 2013 and July 2016. Port district staff stated Sunroad is the district’s highest grossing marina. “It is district practice that the [minimum annual rent] be set at no less than 75 percent of the average rent paid during the last three years of the preceding rental period. Sunroad currently has a [minimum annual rent] of $900,000 per year, which exceeds 75 percent of the average rental paid during the last three accounting years,” port district staff stated in a report to commissioners. Sunroad and the port district entered into a 50-year lease agreement in 1987; terms of the agreement call for the lease to be reviewed every 10 years. Commissioner Rafael Castellanos abstained from voting on the resolution; the remaining board members approved this consent calendar item.

Lease terms between the port district and San Diego YC were amended, resolving a legal dispute between the two parties over rent payments. San Diego YC and the port district have a lease agreement in place through Sept. 30, 2049; the yacht club leases land and water space from the port district. Both parties reportedly disputed the lease’s language with respect to rent payments and attempted to resolve the disagreement in mediation. An amicable resolution was not achieved and San Diego YC filed a lawsuit against the port district in August 2015. Settlement discussions resulted in San Diego YC and the port district coming to terms with how the yacht

club’s rent would be calculated. “The Addendum to Amended and Restated Lease clarifies and limits certain deductions from gross income upon which percentage rent is based, sets the percentage rent rate by which gross income is multiplied for the remaining rental periods of the lease, and states the calculation of Minimum Annual Rent,” port district staff stated in its report to commissioners. The yacht club’s percentage rate, under the amended lease agreement, would be 11 percent from 2017 to 2026 and then 11.1 percent from 2027 to 2036. The rate would increase again to 11.2 percent in 2037 before capping off at 11.3 percent in 2047. “Certain allowable deductions from gross revenue are capped preventing unlimited reductions in overall rent paid by [San Diego YC], port district staff stated. “Rent paid by [San Diego YC] will depend on [San Diego YC] gross revenue and capital spending.” Yacht club officers and port district staff initially signed a 40-year lease in 2009. Port district staff added its dispute with the yacht club was not representative of lease agreements it has in place with other tenants. “The dispute, the unique San Diego Yacht Club lease language, the factual circumstances, and the proposed settlement are specific to the San Diego Yacht Club,” port district staff stated. “The advice of the General Counsel regarding this lawsuit and dispute is protected by the attorney-client privilege and attorney work product doctrine, and is addressed in a separate privileged and confidential memorandum to the Board [of Port Commissioners].” Commissioner Dan Malcolm, who is a San Diego YC member, abstained from this consent calendar item.

By Nina K. Jussila MARINA DEL REY — Illegal charters continue to be a hot topic in Marina del Rey with members of the Small Craft Harbor Commission discussing the controversial boating activity at its Dec. 14 meeting.Staff from Los Angeles County’s Department of Beaches and Harbors (DBH) updated commissioners of increased efforts in addressing the issue. DBH staff and the harbormaster have contemplated performing a sweep or sting operation in hopes of weeding out illegal charter activities. The sting operation would entail someone posing as a customer and contacting charters to schedule a passenger-for-hire trip. Once aboard the vessel, the posing customer would check to see if the charter has its appropriate licenses and permits to run a passengerfor-hire business. Michael Rodriguez, DBH’s chief property manager, said he has been working with the Marina del Rey Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) to monitor charter services in the countyoperated harbor. A number of charter operations have contacted CVB for advertising opportunities, according to Rodriguez. CVB provided the names of charters to Rodriguez, so he could check to make sure they have the appropriate leases and licenses. “Majority of them had both,” Rodriguez reported. “We did have one that had a valid business license but was operating out of a residential area.” An amicable resolution was reached with the one charter in question, but Rodriguez said people are starting to get the message. “Word has gotten out that [DBH] is starting to look into the issue [of illegal charters],” Rodriguez reported. Those running an illegal passengerfor-hire vessel are trying to find a new place to operate, so they are coming to Burton W. Chace Park, according to Rodriguez. Illegal charters are an ongoing issue not only in Marina del Rey but also in all harbors. The problem persists when some of these illegal charters move from marina to marina. For example illegal charters were on the rise in San Diego, according to an Aug. 26 report in The Log. A few weeks earlier The Log outlined the requirements a boater must follow to become a legal charter. The immediate plan for Marina del Rey is to keep boaters informed with better signage. Code enforcement will also be on

call. County staff at Burton W. Chace Park has been instructed to contact code enforcement whenever they observe illegal activity in the harbor. Boaters caught operating an illegal charter could be cited by code enforcement. A citation by code enforcement comes with a higher fine than a violation issued by the Harbor Patrol. The treasurer tax collector also plans to update its codes to Illegal charter boat operations are an issue at harbors and marinas nationwide.

The Log remembers

Bobby McIntosh Publication’s official mascot passes on after 13 years. By Parimal M. Rohit FOUNTAIN VALLEY — Bobby McIntosh, the canine companion and official mascot of The Log and other publications, passed away Dec. 19. His 13 years on Earth were filled with too many happy moments to count. The official dog of Duncan McIntosh Co. was a regular presence at The Log’s headquarters, showing up to work everyday and bringing a smile to everyone who worked here. Sometimes we’d be envious of Bobby, a Wheaten Terrier. He would often be found lounging or napping in the middle of the office – wrapped in his favorite blanket – as we made phone calls, prepared packages for shipping, typed away on our computers and otherwise went about our workday. If he wasn’t napping or playfully seeking attention from us, Bobby would join us in the break room during lunch hour, hoping to share our meal with him. How could we ignore the innocent stare of his puppy dog eyes looking right up at us,

or one of his front paws resting on our thighs as he campaigned for a spare bite. He was also a great workout companion. His godmother, Suzanne Diaz, said Bobby insisted someone take a walk with him at least four or five times per day. He also enjoyed posing for photos or dressing up in different costumes. Bobby once dressed up as a bumblebee for Halloween as well as showed up parading in a Santa suit at a company Christmas party. “He borrowed my sunglasses on multiple occasions for photo shoots and always had a smile on his face,” Diaz said. “He was well dressed and loved his Log shirt.” Outside of the office Bobby enjoyed the maritime life, often attending local boat shows or strolling around in his bright orange life vest. He might as well have been a certified captain with all the hours he clocked navigating the Pacific Ocean with Duncan McIntosh. On occasion he would join Duncan as he surveyed the boat show in a vessel. As Duncan approached the dock toward the end of his trip, Bobby, in his excitement, would try to leap from the boat and onto the dock. His leaps were often mistimed with Bobby missing the dock entirely and

splashing into the water. No matter what he did, Bobby was a welcome presence everywhere he went. If you came across Bobby, you made time for him by affectionately rubbing his belly or buttering him up with compliments. He also had no time for drama. Bobby had no patience for barking dogs, for example, effectively rolling his eyes at any canine that dare barked in his direction. When Duncan McIntosh Co. purchased OC Weekly and moved into its new digs, Bobby wasted no time befriending every new member of the team. He always kept the office’s spirits high, regardless of who surrounded him or where he roamed.

It was Bobby’s zest and love of life that brought him to the McIntosh family in the first place. In 2003 Teri McIntosh, the late wife of Duncan and co-publisher of Duncan McIntosh Co., went in search of adopting a cat. Duncan traveled a lot, so Teri sought a cat to keep her company. Bobby, however full of excitement and enthusiasm, was jumping up and down in his attempts to gain Teri’s attention. Obviously his efforts worked as Teri brought him home. He was just too adorable for her to pass up. In his 13-plus years, Bobby brought happiness and joy to every life he touched. He is missed.

Bobby, the official mascot of The Log and other publications under the Duncan McIntosh Inc. umbrella, passed away Dec. 19. He was a playful Wheaton Terrier who filled the newsroom with joy and happiness everyday. Bobby had fun dressing up for Halloween, taking naps in the middle of the office and mingling with boaters at boat shows.

State Lands and (perhaps) California Coastal commissions to deliberate plans in coming months. By Parimal M. Rohit HUNTINGTON BEACH — At least one state agency expects to review environmental documents associated with the planned desalination plant in Orange County within the next few months, and another board lists the prospective saltwater conversion venue as an item to be discussed at its first meeting of 2017. Poseidon Water hopes to build a desalination plant just off the Huntington Beach coast and supply the surrounding area with 50 million gallons of converted freshwater daily. California’s State Lands Commission held a public workshop Dec. 14 in Huntington Beach to discuss a planned amendment review of Poseidon’s Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Many residents in attendance reportedly asked the commission to perform one more thorough review of Poseidon’s most recent plans. Meanwhile, the California Coastal Commission plans to discuss a coastal development permit fee waiver for Poseidon’s desalination plant at its January 2017 meetings in San Luis Obispo. Coastal Commission staff requested commissioners to deny Poseidon’s request

for fee waiver. The coastal development permit fee is $286,649. “Poseidon’s proposed project has required significant staff time over more than ten years, and recent proposed changes to the project and new information about the project will require substantial additional work to determine whether it conforms to the Coastal Act and relevant Local Coastal Program,” Coastal Commission staff stated.“The fee represents only about 0.03 percent of the project’s expected capital and financing costs and less than 0.5 percent of Poseidon’s project development costs to date.” The Poseidon desalination project has indeed been a lengthy process. Poseidon first introduced the idea of building a saltwater-to-freshwater conversion plant in 2002. One year later the city of Huntington Beach decided against certifying the initial EIR. Poseidon failed to make any traction in the permitting process for the next few years. By 2009 the company submitted plans for a re-configured desalination plant, forcing state officials to conduct additional reviews. The plant’s planned location is partly to blame for the project’s delays, according to Coastal Commission staff. “Much of Poseidon’s lengthy permit and review history results from Poseidon’s proposed site and design. Poseidon’s selected site is subject to several significant coastal and seismic hazards,” Coastal Commission staff stated.“Its proposed facility design and

seawater intake volume of 106 million gallons per day would cause significant adverse effects on marine life due to its proposed use of an open water intake that is currently used by the Huntington Beach Power Plant but is to be retired soon.” Poseidon’s staff Poseidon Water is expected to be in front of the California Coastal and State Lands stated its request commissions within the next few months to discuss its plans to build a desalinafor fee waiver is jus- tion plant in Huntington Beach. tified because the company’s pending coastal development permit application ects that are proposing to use a subsurface was completed on time but not immediintake,” a Coastal Commission staff report ately considered due to delays caused by stated. the commission.

Marine Debris: The Trash in Our Waters By Parimal M. Rohit News reports of a trash vortex in the North Pacific Ocean are either greatly exaggerated or a morbid reminder of irresponsible treatment of trash. No one quite knows the exact size of the Pacific Garbage Patch, but surveys and studies have revealed our waterways, in general, are filled with quite a bit of marine debris. Marine debris is, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), “any persistent solid material that is manufactured or processed and directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, disposed of or abandoned into the marine environment.” NOAA has tried to address marine debris in one form or another since the passage of the Marine Plastic Pollution Research and Control Act in 1987.

Alamitos Bay public pier and dock float to be replaced Upgraded infrastructure expected to benefit Long Beach’s Leeway Sailing Center. By Parimal M. Rohit VENTURA — The California Coastal Commission approved proposed changes to a pier and dock float at Long Beach’s Leeway Center Dec. 8, paving the way for improved public access for recreational activities on the water. Long Beach city officials will be able to move forward with plans to replace a public pier, dock float and gondola tour office over public tidelands at Alamitos Bay. The city’s planned changes would benefit Leeway Sailing Center, according to commission staff. Upgrading the infrastructure adjacent to Leeway, which is owned by the city, would allow Long Beach to offer low-cost coastal recreational activities, such as canoeing, kayaking, gondola rides and standup paddleboarding, to the public. “The proposed project is intended to enhance existing public access and recreation activities by extending the life of a popular public facility that serves a variety of coastal visitors,” a commission staff report stated. “The existing pier is open to members of the public for general access and scenic views 24 hours per day.” Boaters and coastal visitors would benefit from improvements to the public pier and dock float, according to the commission staff report. “[Long Beach city staff] indicates that the proposed new facilities will better serve boaters and coastal visitors because it will replace deteriorated infrastructure, meet current building and seismic codes, improve access for people with disabilities, and provide space for additional educational support,” commission staff stated. “While the size of the new pier, dock float, and gondola tour office will be similar to that of the existing facilities, the city indicates that the new facilities have been designed to maximize recreational opportunities based on current equipment and programs.” California State University Long Beach’s sailing program uses the dock for boat storage and classes, commission staff added in its report to commissioners. A private vendor leases space at the pier and dock to offer gondola rides to the public. Public access to the local beach would also be improved once the project is completed, commission staff continued. Leeway, which is currently closed, would likely be remodeled as part of the city’s plans. “The Sailing Center is currently closed in a state of disrepair, but will be remodeled by the City in the near future subject

to a local coastal development permit which may be appealed to the Coastal Commission,” commission staff stated. Construction would take 10 months to complete, city staff estimated. Public access would be affected during construction but city and commission staff both indicated the effects would be minimized. “Construction of the proposed project will temporarily affect public

access to and along the shoreline. During construction, the dock float will not be available to store sailboats and other recreational equipment and the gondola tour office will be displaced. Additionally, construction activities will require partial restrictions to sandy beach area,” commission staff stated. “The city indicates that construction will last up to 10 months but that it will sequence activities to minimize disruptions and provide

maximum access during the summer months.” Commission staff added the new pier and dock float would “slightly increase water coverage over Alamitos Bay.” Infrastructure improvements at Leeway would, according to commission staff, “avoid adverse impacts to marine resources and … withstand the effects of natural hazards including severe storms, high tides, and sea level rise.”

equipment and other components, if the vessel will have more than six passengers aboard (or 12 passengers, if the vessel measures greater than 100 gross tons). Our reader is concerned about the cost of having a captain aboard during these events, so we will assume that she is on a budget and the events will stay below those passenger limits, and thus be exempt from Coast Guard inspection. This brings the operation within the definition of an “uninspected passenger vessel,” as set forth in 46 U.S.C. §2101(42). And you can see that none of these definitions say anything about the boat being under way or anchored or tied to a dock. Now that we know the type of vessel we are dealing with, we can look to the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 46 Part 15, which concerns the manning of vessels. Drilling down further, 46 CFR §15.605 requires every uninspected passenger vessel to “be under the direction and control” of a Coast Guard-licensed captain. Notably, certain vessels that are permanently moored are exempt from licensing because they are deemed to be “removed from navigation.” These vessels are no longer capable of “transportation on the water” and, as such, they no longer fall within the definition of “vessel” as we discussed above. Removing a vessel from navigation requires more than just chaining a boat to a dock. Queen Mary, which is surrounded by a rock breakwater, is a

Restaurant project hopes to expand dock-and-dine opportunities

SAN DIEGO — A few months after shutting down Red Sails Inn restaurant, The Brigantine is moving forward on replacing another long-time San Diego dining establishment. The Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners granted concept approval of The Brigantine’s proposal to develop a new restaurant at Anthony’s Fish Grotto’s current waterfront location. Anthony’s, established in 1946, had been on the San Diego waterfront since the 1960s. Portside Pier Restaurant project would feature four new dining establishments – The Brigantine on the Bay, Miguel’s Cocina, Ketch Grill & Taps and a coffee/gelato shop – to the Anthony’s site, which is located at 1360 N. Harbor Drive in San Diego. The estimated budget for the restaurant redevelopment is $13 million. “We are one step closer to developing out Portside Pier project along the #SanDiego harbor,” a Dec. 14 tweet on The Brigantine’s Twitter page (@BrigantineSD) stated. Port district staff said the new restaurant would benefit public access and recreational opportunities. “The project will modernize an existing restaurant facility and will provide enhanced public access amenities, including an expanded dock and dine dock, second-floor dedicated public viewing deck, and public perimeter walkway around the bottom floor of the restaurant building,” port district staff stated in a report to commissioners. An expanded 3,370-square-foot dockand-dine facility would be able to accommodate up to 12 vessels, port district staff stated. Commissioner Dan Malcolm said the port district’s board would seek waterside activation – such as a dock-and-dine – incorporated into future port district development projects. Mike Morton, president of Brigantine Inc., said his company’s Portside Pier project would be a welcome addition to the San Diego waterfront. “We’re due for an improvement there [at 1360 N. Harbor Drive],” Morton told commissioners. A few bureaucratic approvals are still necessary for The Brigantine’s restaurant redevelopment project to move forward, such as a lease agreement with the Port of San Diego, Regional Water Quality Control Board certification and Army Corps of Engineers permit. Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2017 (assuming all permits and agreements are obtained). Port district staff estimates demolition of current structures and construction of The Brigantine’s new restaurants would take between 11 and 16 months to complete. Once completed the entire project would cover nearly 45,200 square feet of

1930s from Newport Beach to South America? The 100+/-foot yacht was specially constructed of molded plywood and included a machine gun for defense. One of the crew was named Lugo, son of Mrs. Lugo, who worked in the cafeteria of the Newport Beach grammar school in the 1940s. I recall the title mentioned crocodiles and Indians, and much of the story took place on the Orinoco River. Robert Reed

Re: Saying goodbye to another slice of San Diego’s maritime heritage (Aug. 12 issue)

Shelter Island not the same without Red Sail Inn Went to the Red Sail Inn every time I came to visit my sailboat docked on Shelter Island. When I went to the door on my last visit, it was closed. Next, I looked up the story of how the Red Sail Inn had been sold. I used to sit out on the patio and eat breakfast, lunch or dinner. I really miss the Inn, and Shelter Island just does not seem the same anymore. No place I go gives me the same feeling. Ultimately, I may just sail away. Steve Gill

The Brigantine restaurant project gains port district support to replace Anthony’s Fish Grotto with Portside Pier.

land and water area. The entire restaurant development is expected to accommodate 1,000 diners. The Portside Pier Restaurant project would replace Anthony’s Fish Grotto, Fishette, Anthony’s Star of the Sea Room and a coffee kiosk. Anthony’s, which celebrated its 70th anniversary this year, signed a 52-year lease with the port district in 1965; that lease expires Jan. 31, 2017. Port district staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in May 2015 to have the property at 1360 N. Harbor Drive redeveloped. The Brigantine won the RFP bidding process, beating out five other proposals. Projected annual revenue for the Portside Pier Restaurant development would be at least $20 million, according to The Brigantine’s proposal. Other bidders included Sunroad Enterprises and Fish Market Restaurants. The Fish Market proposal would have kept Anthony’s and Fishette at 1360 N. Harbor Drive. Earlier this year the Port of San Diego approved a leasehold sale of Shelter Island’s Red Sails Inn Restaurant to The Brigantine. The new owners announced plans to convert the original home of The Log into modern dining concept. Red Sails Inn, established at Shelter Island in 1957, officially closed its doors on Aug. 31. The Brigantine opened its first restaurant location at Shelter Island in 1969. Commissioners unanimously approved the project’s concept at their Dec. 13 meeting; Commissioner Bob Nelson was not present.

Jeanne Socrates, at the wheel of her sailboat, plans to achieve the world record for oldest person to circumnavigate alone and unassisted in 2017. (Top right corner) Socrates’ sailboat, getting repaired in the San Diego Harbor, is a 32.6-foot Najad 380, hull number 82.

Jeanne Socrates to take on record-breaking sailing challenge in 2017 World record holder for oldest female solo sailor plans to sail unassisted around the world again. By Nina K. Jussila Jeanne Socrates achieved the Guinness World Record as the oldest women to sail solo, non-stop and single-handed around the world in 2013. With 2017 on the horizon, the sailor has a new resolution: set another world record as the oldest person ever to sail alone and unassisted around the world. The world record holder for oldest person to sail alone and unaided around the world is a man, Minoru Saito, 71, of Japan. Socrates was almost 71 when she completed her first solo sail around the world, though she wished she waited a bit longer to have completed her successful circumnavigation, therefore becoming the oldest person, man or woman, to sail the world a few years earlier. Socrates, now 74, set out to break the overall world record as she left Victoria, Canada in October. However, she was forced to stop in San Diego when her boat experienced equipment failures. “The biggest challenge is keeping the boat systems going,” Socrates told The Log. “It is not me who has a problem getting around the world nonstop; it is keeping the boat going.” The reason she has had to stop is to repair something on the boat she couldn’t fix. To sail solo nonstop unassisted means not being allowed any help and not stopping for anything.

When asked how safe it is for a female to sail around the word alone, Socrates responded “I don’t think a woman is totally relevant in regards to safety.” Socrates admits she may not have the strength of a man, but she just takes her time. “I feel perfectly safe,” Socrates said. “The boat is a good safe boat. I have total faith in the boat.” Her sailboat, Nereida, is a Najad 380, hull number 82. Nereida is 32.6 feet in length with a 12-foot beam and 6-foot, 7.5-inch draft. Socrates tries not to take the sails of her boat down during her circumnavigation unless she is to get in a big storm. The wind does the steering for her most of the time. She rarely ever has to be at the wheel. Out at sea, there is no one around, so she is able to lie down and sleep. She sets a stopwatch if she is worried. When there is a different noise or feeling in the boat, she wakes up and does a check. Socrates’ biggest frustration is having no wind. She is not allowed to use her boat’s engines for the world record title, so she relies on wind and solar panels to keep moving. “It’s horrible when there is no wind,” Socrates said. “I just have to flop about and try to get pointed in the right direction. It is very frustrating.” Her favorite part of sailing is when the sailboat is cruising beautifully with the breeze, the sea is calm, the sun is shining and the albatross are nearby. She can then relax in the peacefulness of the ocean with only the birds to keep her company. The albatross stay with

the boat for weeks on end. When asked if she gets lonely, she stated she really doesn’t. She has a radio and talks to people. In fact, a day doesn’t by when she doesn’t talk to someone on the radio while she is out at sea. Socrates has people on shore to check her e-mails. They relay messages to her via radio. She tells them how to respond. She also tells them to post questions for her, and they reply back with responses. Her scariest experience was when her boat fell over in Cape Horn on her first world record attempt. “When a big wave pushed the boat over,” Socrates said, “it was as if a ton of concrete hit the boat. The boom broke, the washboard cracked and the main pole was damaged.” Socrates was forced to stop on day

72 for repairs. Cape Horn was also one of her most amazing experiences. She successfully rounded Cape Horn two years after her boat was knocked down. There weren’t any humans around, though she was greeted by a pod of dolphins and albatross. What advice does Socrates give others considering sailing around the world? “Go for it but make sure your boat is well prepared,” Socrates answered. She also advised to expect the worst. She emphasized how important it is to make sure everything is strapped down, so when the boat turns upside down – everything is okay. More about Socrates’ adventures at sea can be read on her online log at svnereida.com.

Alex Wang breaks a smile after reeling in this 18-pound lingcod over the rails of Outrider during a 1.5-day fishing expedition out of Hook’s Landing in Oxnard. Wang caught the lingcod using live sardine and live squid near Santa Rosa Island on Dec. 17. The 11 anglers aboard Outrider’s overnight charter (helmed by Capt. Tucker McCombs) caught 110 rockfish, 33 lingcod and 15 whitefish.

Southern California fishing news

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO — A stretch of Mexican waters frequented by Southern California anglers will be included as part of a new marine reserve created by presidential decree in early December. The marine reserve, or biosphere, would still allow for human activities, such as fishing, to occur. Mexico Pres. Enrique Peña Nieto included an announcement of the biosphere expansion on his blog and stated his country has a “great responsibility of caring for the environment.” Nieto established four biological marine reserves and five other protected areas, according to news reports. The new marine reserves, according to Nieto, honor the environmental commitments Mexico made to the United Nations and is the country’s largest amount of territory set aside for conservation efforts. H&M Landing General Manager Frank Ursitti said the establishment of a biosphere off the Baja California coast would help develop a sustainable fishery at Los Coronados Islands, which is frequented by San Diego and Southern California anglers. Los Coronados Islands is located about 14 miles south of San Diego. “With the inclusion of the Coronados, we must remember these islands play a vital role for marine birds, as well as species of fish that are sought after both recreationally as well as commercially,” Ursitti said. “Including the islands in the biosphere is an important step towards conservation and sends a very clear message to the global community that Mexico is a leader in sustainable fisheries and has earned a seat at the table with regards to their marine resources.” Ursitti added anglers should not be scared away by the biosphere designation. “The sportfishing community suf-

fered for a period of 5 to 7 years as a result of poor communication as much of our clientele was of the impression the [Channel] Islands were closed to fishing,” Ursitti said, referring to the establishment of MPAs off California’s south central coast. “Nothing could be farther from the truth. Yes, there were growing pains as we adjusted to tighter areas, but the northern fleet has survived. “Through management, we look forward to the day where the sacrifice of traditional territory (used as a management measure) will yield the anticipated results of rebuilt stocks and allow future generations to reap the benefits of this management style,” Ursitti continued. Baja California’s Pacific coast is one of three marine reserves in Mexican waters dedicated as a biosphere. The other two areas are the Mexican Caribbean and a coastal strip between Chiapas and Nayarit. Nieto described the biospheres as a tool to protect and enhance the maritime heritage of Mexico. The biospheres allow for human activities – such as fishing – without affecting marine ecosystems. Mexico’s president added about 17 percent of the country’s territory would be designated as a protected national area by 2020. About 13.76 percent of Mexico is currently designated as a “protected natural area.” In all about 160 million acres were set aside for conservation efforts. The new biosphere includes all yet-to-be-protected Pacific islands off the Baja coast. The protected areas are not temporary. Biosphere offices will be located in Ensenada, Guerrero Negro and La Paz. Mexico’s National Commission of Protected Natural Areas is still working out details of how Nieto’s decree would be enforced. Ursitti said the San Diego fleet would keep its customer base educated and informed while also promoting conservation efforts. “I believe we all learned our lesson with the creation of the northern reserves, and will work diligently to keep

A presidential decree established a new biosphere marine reserve off the Baja California coast. While details about the reserve are still being fleshed out it appears offshore anglers will still be able to fish in the area. Details will be shared with the angling public as they are revealed.

our customers/users informed should this measure impact our access.” Ursitti told FishRap. “We all walk the same line, whether we realize it or not. No one is more interested in sustainable fisheries

than we are as vessel owners, landing owners, vessel operators, crewmembers and anglers. “Without healthy stocks, we have nothing,” he added.

The Halibut Quintet By Parimal M. Rohit DANA POINT — Dana Wharf’s 9th Annual Halibut Derby leader board continues to grow as anglers reeled in several more flatfish during a Dec. 18 fishing expedition aboard Clemente. Capt. Brian Woolley said water temperatures off the Dana Point coast have been in the 58- to 60-degree range during the final weeks of 2016. “This week up here was a typical week of December fishing,” Woolley said in an email. Anglers reeled in sand bass, calico bass, sheephead, triggerfish, lingcod and whitefish on half-day and three-quarter-day expeditions (in addition to the five halibut catches aboard Clemente). Conditions have been tricky on the longer three-quarter-day trips, according to Woolley. “[We are] telling our passengers to come prepared with an assortment of 10- to 16-ounce sinkers as the conditions have been finicky as of late,” Woolley said.

San Diego Report

Two-month closure of rockfish/groundfish fishery begins Jan. 1 By Bob Vanian SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Local saltwater anglers have benefitted from large numbers of rockfish and groundfish catches in recent months. However, catches of the species are expected to go dry for the first few weeks of 2017 as the rockfish/groundfish fishery will be shut down for two months beginning Jan. 1, 2017. The annual two-month closure applies to all anglers fishing on the United States’ side of the Mexico border. During the rockfish/groundfish closure, anglers will either have to go into Mexican waters to fish for rockfish or, if they are fishing on the United States’ side of the Mexico border, target other species open to fishing. Somewhat of an offset for anglers fishing on the United States’ side of the Mexico border: the currently closed sculpin season “is expected to reopen on Jan. 1, 2017.” Of course, uncertainty surrounds fishing around Los Coronado Islands and some other areas after the Mexican government designated areas off the Baja coast as biosphere zones of conservation. It remains unclear as to what this means to sportfishing anglers wishing to fish in these biosphere areas, which includes Los Coronado Islands.

In a recent telephone conversation with the Mexico Department of Fisheries Conapesca office in San Diego, they had not yet heard from the Mexican government as to what effect, if any, the biosphere declaration means to sportfishing anglers. Until more is known, anglers who choose to fish around Los Coronado Islands do so at their own risk. Anglers still dropped lines around Los Coronado Islands despite the government’s declaration, and they found quality bites. Recent fishing reports indicated good numbers of assorted rockfish biting and an occasional bonus lingcod, bonito or yellowtail. Most of the focus has been on the bottom fishing for the rockfish and lingcod. The two best areas have been the hard bottom to the northwest of North Island and along the outer ridges ranging from outside of South Island on down to just beyond of the South Kelp area below South Island. A good depth range has been fishing in 30 to 45 fathoms of water. The fishing along the San Diego County coast has been good for rockfish, sand bass, calico bass and sculpin. Ideal areas for bass, rockfish and sculpin bites are hard bottom and structure areas at Box Canyon, the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines, Carlsbad,

Leucadia, Solana Beach, Del Mar, upper end of La Jolla, Jetty Kelp in front of Mission Bay, Point Loma College, Green Tank at Point Loma, Point Loma Pipeline, southeast and northwest of the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma and the Imperial Beach Pipeline. Capt. Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing reported some of his half-day charters found steady fishing on a mixture of bottom fish such as rockfish, sheephead, sculpin, calico bass and sand bass. He said most of their recent catches of calico bass, sand bass and sheephead have been made up of short-sized fish, which have had to be released. The sculpin they caught have been mostly nice-sized fish but were released as the species is out of season until Jan. 1, 2017. Cacciola added the deeper hard bottom areas outside of Carlsbad and Leucadia have been producing most of their rockfish with shallower hard bottom areas located a short way outside of the kelp beds in those same areas producing most of their sand bass, calico bass, sculpin and sheephead. Recent water temperatures have been running 58 to 59 degrees and the water has been an off-color green. Cacciola was pleasantly surprised to have caught two triggerfish on a recent trip while fishing in the cold 58 to 59 degree water.

(Clockwise from left to right) Two anglers aboard Red Rooster III reeled in jackpot catches during the first fishing expedition of the winter. Rick Beck’s 35-pound wahoo catch was good for a troll jackpot win, while Norm Fujimoto claimed a first place jackpot with his 233.5-pound yellowfin. Both catches were posted on Red Rooster III’s Facebook page. A Dec. 26 fishing expedition aboard Stardust out of Santa Barbara had 40 anglers reeling in 267 reds, 58 coppers, 53 rockfish, 8 bonito and 2 lingcod. Meanwhile yellowtail was the bite of the day for anglers aboard Excel Sportfishing out of San Diego. Capt. Justin Fleck’s Dec. 17 report stated anglers caught a school of 25- to 40-pounders. Photos courtesy Red Rooster III, Stardust, Excel

There has been a bit of surface fishing activity found by boats fishing coastal areas. The area of Northwest at the upper end of La Jolla and the Imperial Beach Pipeline provided a chance at a yellowtail catch. The showings of yellowtail have been inconsistent, but it might pay off to be prepared so be on the lookout. Yellowtail were located by finding spots of working birds, sonar marks or meter marks. A private boater fishing La Jolla, who was at the right spot at the right time, hooked three nice-sized yellowtail with live mackerel and Flat Fall jigs, according to a report. The 2016 fishing season is coming to a close. It will be interesting to see what 2017 has in store for Southern California anglers. Catching a big bluefin at the Tanner Bank would be a great way to kick off 2017! Keep on fishing, and I hope to see you out on the water!

Tight lines — By Parimal M. Rohit NOAA’s regional action plans aim to protect marine resources and communities What’s Up: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its Western Regional Action Plan (WRAP) for California’s marine ecosystem in mid-December. WRAP is one of several regional plans issued by NOAA in the final days of 2016. Each plan, according to a NOAA statement, outlines “specific actions to better track changing conditions, provide better forecasts, and identify the best strategies to reduce impacts and sustain our marine resources for current and future generations.” “Implementing these actions will give decision-makers the information they need now to sustain our vital marine resources and the many people that depend on them every day,” NOAA staff stated in a Dec. 16 release. The regional action plan stated the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem faces dynamic challenges due to climate change. “These challenges will affect every species that depends on this system, including hundreds of species protected by law. They will also affect the millions of people who rely on this sensitive

region for food, recreation, and commerce,” NOAA staff stated in the WRAP document. “To manage the natural resources in this system, decision-makers need information about which species will be affected and how, and which approaches will best reduce the impacts on human and natural communities while maintaining a healthy ecosystem. This plan identifies key efforts we can make to provide that information.” The Bottom Line: WRAP outlined seven climate science strategy objectives to address potential changes and risks to California’s marine communities. NOAA staff hopes its outlined strategies would provide policymakers and stakeholders with sufficient information to benefit fishery management and species conservation. The seven objectives are: establish climate-informed reference points; develop robust management strategies; implement adaptive management practices; project future conditions; understand the mechanisms of change; track change and provide early warnings; and improve science infrastructure to deliver actionable information. A summary of NOAA’s WRAP can be reviewed online at bit.ly/2hEFshc.

No Motor Tournament raises funds for Carpinteria Salt Marsh restoration Seventh annual fundraiser brings in $1,000 for The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County. By Parimal M. Rohit

Motor Tournament is more about getting together with like-minded sportsmen and enjoying a day on the water.” Thousands of dollars have been raised through the No Motor Tournament in hopes of restoring the Carpinteria Salt Marsh as a nursery and rearing ground for fish, birds and native plants. The No Motor Tournament also raises awareness of why the salt marsh is important to local fisheries and ocean health. “The Carpinteria Salt Marsh and other estuaries like it provide important spawning areas and habitat for juvenile fish from halibut to leopard sharks and more,” The Sportfishing Conservancy staff stated. Bruce Reitherman of The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County was presented with the check during a ceremony at Carpinteria Salt Marsh. More information about restoration efforts at the Carpinteria Salt Marsh can be found at sblandtrust.org.

CARPINTERIA — The Sportfishing Conservancy presented a $1,000 check to The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County on Dec. 15, helping the managing body of Carpinteria Salt Marsh near Santa Barbara continue its restoration efforts of an estuarine habitat near the Central California coast. Funds were raised through the seventh annual No Motor Tournament, where local anglers dropped fishing lines off the Santa Barbara coastline while aboard human powered watercrafts such as kayaks, standup paddleboards and float tubs. The No Motor Tournament implements best angling practices and catch-andrelease protocols, organizers stated. “Rather than ‘weighing in’ their catches, anglers strive to record the biggest cumulative total length of fish caught and measured in inches,” The Sportfishing Conservancy staff said in a release. “It’s a fun event where entire families participate and Shown, from left: Oscar Garcia, Sierra Diaz, Michael Sanchez, Whitney get to spend a great Uyeda, Santa Barbara Sportfishing Club (with check); Bruce Reitherman, morning together The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County; Mike Holder, Tom Raftican, The out-of-doors.

SoCal and Baja’s #1 Source for Fresh and Saltwater Fishing

SALTWATER OCEAN FISHING REPORT By Terrence Berg 976-TUNA.com THE SWAN SONG REPORT: While there still may be bluefin tuna and yellowtail on the Tanner Bank, no one has made the run this past week. Commercial fishermen wrapped the squid holding the tuna there, and most have probably cleared out. The boats at Clemente and Catalina have found few yellowtail, but excellent rockfish action. There have been some pockets of yellowtail from the San Diego coast to spots off Orange and Los Angeles counties, and even at Catalina and Clemente, but they are very inconsistent. El Dorado out of Long Beach Sportfishing ran overnight trips last week. The 18 anglers on board a Dec. 15 fishing trip caught 12 yellowtail, 132 rockfish, 108 whitefish, 54 sheephead and 54 lingcod. Patriot out of Newport Landing was out with 47 anglers on a Dec. 21 morning half-day and landed 17 whitefish, 15 red snapper, eight rockfish, five yellowtail and one sheephead. Of note in San Diego, Mission Belle out of Point Loma Sportfishing had a three-quarterday trip on Dec. 18 with 16 anglers. They landed one yellowtail, 41 rockfish, 36 red snapper, five lingcod and one sheephead. Malihini, also on a three-quarter day trip but out of H&M Landing, had 11 anglers the same day and landed 55 red snapper, 49 rockfish, four lingcod and two bonito. IT’S ALL ROCKFISH NOW: While most of the landings are running a limited schedule for the

holidays, there are still half, three-quarter, and overnight boats running all along the coast for anglers who want to get in on the excellent rockfish action before the season closes the end of the month. San Diego, Oceanside, and Dana Point region boats are all averaging three to five bottom fish per rod on the half-day boats, with a nice mix of rockfish, red snapper, whitefish, lingcod and sheephead. Some boats are also adding sand dabs. The counts are a little better on the threequarter-day boats (see numbers above). For the Orange and Los Angeles county boats, rockfish have also taken over the game. Most half- and three-quarter-day boats are reporting from four to seven bottom fish per trip with a lot of mixed rockfish, red snapper, whitefish and a smattering of sheephead. Sport King out of L.A. Waterfront Sportfishing had just six anglers on its Dec. 20 three-quarterday trip and landed 35 rockfish, 24 sargo, seven bocaccio, four lingcod, two sand bass and two calico bass. Freelance out of Davey’s Locker had 67 anglers on its Dec. 19 three-quarter-day trip and landed 323 mixed rockfish, 38 whitefish, 30 red snapper, 12 sheephead, seven perch and one cabazon. LOBSTER NEWS: The action has been a pick along the coast with most boats averaging one to two legal lobsters per trip, with better scores out at the islands. Lots of underside bugs right now. Jig Strike out of H&M Landing was on a twilight trip Dec. 20. The seven anglers on board had 12 legal lobsters but released 313 shorts.
