PASS IT ON Boating is one of those activities that’s handed down from parents to children, best enjoyed during the long days of summer, when the kids are out of school and mom and dad might have some flexibility at work.

Even in year-round boating environments, summer is the time to make the most of the boat, build family bonds and instill a love of the pastime in the next generation.

Of the more than 141 million Americans who went boating in 2016, almost half were under the age of 18, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association.

So parents are getting their children on the water. For boating to thrive, boat owners need to get other children (and adults) involved. Give the kids the OK to bring their friends and then introduce boating to even more people.

The watersports industry recognized the need to get first-timers involved in behind-the-boat activities, and five years ago two prominent professional wakeboarders, Zane Schwenk and Shaun Murray, founded an event called Pass the Handle, which has grown into a bit of a movement. There’s an official Pass the Handle Day, which is July 22 this year, but thanks to social media and the promotional power of the Water Sports 4

Industry Association (wsia.net), Pass the Handle is a year-round effort to put the handle in more hands and plant the bug in more minds. No central structure exists, but groups sponsor events nationwide, and individuals do their part.

Don’t own a “watersports” boat? No worries. A lot of boats, small and quite large, can accommodate basic watersports. I’ve seen videos of people wakeboarding and wakesurfing behind a 63-foot Predator, a 164-foot Westport, an 85-foot Ocean Alexander and others — even a few sailboats.

Or, if you use a PWC as a dinghy, that can be a tow vehicle. Heck, beginners don’t need a huge wake with a steep face; they’re not going to be pulling off acrobatic aerial maneuvers anyway. Moving forward without falling will be enough for most newbies. The key is to get people introduced to scooting across the surface of the water, on skis or a board, while holding on tight to a handle.

Who can you pass the handle to on July 22, or anytime this year? When you do, if you post anything to social media, be sure to use #passthehandle.

COBALT A36

Making the Grade Cobalt’s A36 is a big bowrider that easily transitions to an overnighter.

C

OBA LT BOATS IS W ELL known for its trailerable bowriders and watersports boats, but the Kansas-based builder doesn’t limit itself to boats smaller than 30 feet. Its A40 is a coupe with serious weekending chops, its R35 takes bowriding to just less than 35 feet, and now its A36 stretches the possibilities past 35 feet in the form of a crossover yacht that mixes open-bow dayboating with enclosed-cabin weekending in a boat that starts with a hand-laid, Kevlar-reinforced hull. And there’s a full head too.

The swim platform makes boarding easy, but it also makes swimming a no-brainer, since it’s hydraulically controlled and can lower into the water. At the transom is a sunpad that converts to seating. The head sections of the pads angle for full lounging, but they also go past 90 degrees to serve as backrests for the forward-facing bench seat, which is part of a large L-shaped settee that hugs the portside bulwark.

Opposite the settee is an outdoor galley unit that contains a grill, a sink, a refrigerator and storage. A TV pops up from a unit outboard of the galley. Forward of the galley is the helm, which features a doublewide seat, a Garmin glass cockpit with twin MFDs and system controls. To starboard is a companion doublewide seat. Up steps between the consoles is the bow seating, and overhead, a sunroof opens to keep things airy.

At the base of the steps to below is a sofa that runs forward to a V-berth. The head is opposite.

Power selections are from Volvo Penta and come in twin 380 and 430 hp sterndrive packages, and the base price of the A36 with the twin 380s is $406,087. A joystick is optional.

If it’s a group for the day or a couple for the weekend, the Cobalt A36 was designed to fit the activity.

The terms superyacht, megayacht and gigayacht are somewhat subjective. What makes a yacht a gigayacht? We’ve seen “anything larger than 200 feet” and “anything larger than 215 feet” and “anything larger than 220 feet.” One good measure might be “anything larger than 223 feet.” Why so specific? According to Boat International, that’s the length necessary to get into the top 200 largest yachts in the world for 2017. That will change, though, as more and more Tankoa Yachts’ Suerte, 228 feet

MEXICO REPORT

By CAPT. PAT RAINS

STORMY WEATHER WARINESS

Prepare your boat and yourself for hurricane season in Mexico.

BOAT PREP PUT YOUR BOAT IN one of the hurricane holes.

SUMMER 2018 IS NOT supposed to be a very bad hurricane season in Mexico.

According to a March report from the World Meteorological Organization, this year’s early La Niña cycle was “transitioning to ENSO-neutral conditions.” Neutral is not bad. However, the report also said some less-reliable long-term models showed “possible warming conditions” for the second half of 2018.

At least that’s not bad news for all the sportfishers heading down to participate in the big tournaments, and for a couple of thousand cruisers spending the summer in and around their favorite hurricane holes.

Since nobody can guarantee that a serious storm won’t develop, everyone should be prepared. Here are some ideas for cruisers to prepare their boat and themselves.

Grab a long-term discount on a comfortable berth, for example, inside Marina Costa Baja, Marina Puerto Escondido, Marina San Carlos, Marina Real, Marina Puerto Penasco, or any of the three marinas in Banderas Bay. Sign up for in-slip maintenance services, leave the dockmaster your emergency contact info and prepare the boat for possible high winds and heavy rains, starting from the top down.

On the flybridge, unzip, roll up and secure vinyl windows. Remove all wind-susceptible objects from up there and down on deck, such as seat cushions, awnings, lightweight deck chairs, ice chests, etc. Stow them in the lazarette or interior. Secure the dinghy

should pay attention to what kind of stands it offers. Some jack stands have hull pads built in, others don’t. Jack stands can be chained together to prevent them from spreading apart. Some keel shapes lend themselves to bracing with big lumber or railroad ties.

A concrete floor is generally safer than asphalt, which can soften in summer heat and allow stands to tilt or sink. When one boat topples over, it may take its neighbors down too. By September, most boatyards have installed a perimeter of sandbags to prevent possible flash flood waters from sweeping through and undermining the boats’ hull supports.

For insurance purposes, make a video inventory of your boat’s contents, especially expensive electronics, and of the exterior.

Bimini tops should be collapsed and lashed down before hurricane season, and the canvas cover on the wind screen needs to be have its snaps fixed.

Summer Aboard?

Add a manufactured or improvised “surge protector” to your dock lines to absorb the shock and surge, which preserves docklines and cleats.

If you’re staying aboard, air conditioning really earns its keep. Check the condenser, clean any drip lines and add Freon if necessary.

Install oscillating fans in the galley and the dining and sleeping areas. Add sun-blocking shields inside portlights. Wind scoops over deck hatches pull down welcome overnight breezes, and dorades ventilate the interior underway. Boaters summering aboard in Puerto Vallarta have recommended adding an electric dehumidifier.

Pick a marina associated with a nice hotel, so you can spend the day’s hottest hours at a palapa-shaded pool or in an air-conditioned internet café.

To prevent death by boredom, plan a few interesting one- or two-day excursions nearby (monitor the daily tropical weather reports).

Prepare the People with cinch-down straps and unplug it so rainwater can escape.

Secure the crane in the lowered position too. Adjustable Bimini?

Lower and lash it.

If the windshield screens and canvas covers are well secured with snaps or toggles, leave them on. But if they’re already a bit floppy, fix them or remove them.

Set all your fenders and docklines, including crossed spring lines. Rig some kind of chafe protection where each dockline goes through a cleat or hawse. If a storm hits, the boat will bounce a lot. Try to add at least one springy “surge protector” to the docklines, such as a simple loop of rubber hose or an expensive coil device.

Leave diesel tanks full and add biocide, to prevent crud from growing.

If someone will definitely be checking your boat every day, and if the shore power is reliable, you might leave the air conditioning running. But start with clean sea chests. Even normally reliable shore power can be interrupted during a hurricane.

Inside, do everything possible to prevent damage from sun and heat. Close the insulated blinds on the big windows and try to secure them in place with bungee cords or a dab of museum paste. Cover the bridge instrument panel with a bed sheet or beach towels. To prevent mildew, I hang tubs of Damp Rid, a nontoxic dehumidifying agent. Empty the refrigerator, clean it and unplug it, but secure the door open an inch.

For ventilation when you’re gone for days, open a small screened port in a shower stall, just a crack, where water damage won’t be a problem.

OK, you’re staying aboard in the marina to “take care of the boat” as a tropical storm or hurricane approaches. I’ve done it myself and also learned a lot from boaters who stayed on board and survived hurricanes. When it comes right down to it, the first priority is to take care of yourself and other people. Even yachts are just stuff.

Stay aware and informed. A free service allows you to monitor the changing position of whichever tropical storm or hurricane is moving in Mexican waters.

Send an email to query@saildocs.com; put your boat name in the subject line and type “mexicocomposite” in the body. To learn how to use this, send a message to info@saildocs.com.

Cellphones are ubiquitous in Mexico, but cell towers blow over in direct hits. Consider a satellite phone — more expensive but more reliable in this situation.

Keep the marina dockmaster and staffers informed of your presence on the boat, and alert your dock neighbors. Keep the VHF on and your handheld unit charged.

Adjust docklines as needed. Try to position the hull directly between dock fingers. If fenders pop out of place too often, consider tying them to the dock instead of dangling them from the boat. When a port captain closes a port due to an approaching hurricane, no boats can go out but any vessel is allowed entry to seek shelter. In some ports, however, the entrance channel can get “closed out” by big surf.

As storm winds and seas increase, most marinas in Mexico will set anchors to relieve strain on the docks, so be aware of these extra lines encumbering the fairways. Alert late comers to this unseen danger if they try to squeeze in.

When the dock fingers begin to sway sideways or bounce up and down, it’s time to gather your papers — passports, money, boat papers, plane tickets — and get ashore while you still can.

THE EXPERTS

MAKE SHORE-POWER MAINTENANCE ROUTINE A BOAT’S SHORE-POWER SYSTEM is of vital importance, but too many owners overlook its maintenance, until they’re forced to. The system’s care isn’t difficult or overly complicated.

SmartPlug Systems (smartplug.com) has a routine that can help boat owners protect this essential system.

The first step is to turn off the power at the pedestal. Then, switch off the electric panel on the boat.

2 Begin by inspecting the boat-side inlet. Remove the connector and look for any discoloration. A yellow or brownish color around the metal pins means overheating has occurred. Inlets with this damage should be replaced immediately.

Overheating occurs when corrosion 3 and/or arcing reduces the metal-tometal contact of the connection. This can be the result of accidental water intrusion

into the plug or simple environmental contaminants such as salt air. Electrical resistance increases and creates heat, especially when heavy loads such as air conditioners or heaters are operated for long periods of time. If left unchecked, excessive corrosion can cause enough resistance and heat to combust. In fact, shore-power system failure due to overheating is the number one cause of boat fires.

The next step is to carefully inspect 4 the cord sheathing for wear and cuts.

Using electrical tape to seal damage isn’t

The damage is obvious on the connector above, but any discoloration is an indication of damage. The inlet on the pedestal should be inspected similarly, and any discoloration should be noted and dealt with immediately.

an option; safety demands it be replaced.

Checking the pedestal inlet is similar to inspecting the boat-side connection.

Look for any discoloration or breakage. A damaged pedestal inlet has the potential to harm a cord connector, so if anything questionable is found, notify the marina manager and have it replaced.

5 If everything looks OK, follow these steps to restore electricity to the vessel: • Make sure the power is off at the dock pedestal.

• Connect the cord.

• Turn on the power.

• Turn the boat’s electrical panel back on.

Any time a vessel leaves the dock it’s disconnected from shore power, so it’s easy to inspect the boat-side inlet and plug every time it’s used. A complete check should be done at least semiannually, especially if the boat is located in an area that requires continuous heat or air conditioning. This will ensure years of safe boating.

2) The professor peppered his language with “like” and “you know,” so the younger set could understand him.

For most of the kids, “creative” meant beginning sentences with capital letters and using relatively frequent punctuation.

HORIZON V68

Maximum volume in a 68-footer creates a mini-superyacht.

WHEN HORIZON YACHTS DECIDED to grow its V Series, it made the decision to go smaller while at the same time turning up the volume. Not in an “if it’s too loud you’re too old” sort of way, but rather in a “make the absolute most of the space” way. And it teamed with renowned yacht designer Jonathan Quinn Barnett to create a “superyacht” capable of being handled by a couple.

Volume was achieved in a couple of ways. The most obvious, visually, is the plumb bow. It extended the waterline to 65 feet, 2 inches, which is actually 2 feet longer than the V72’s and only about 3 and a half feet shorter on the waterline than the V80. The extra waterline length and plumb bow created plenty of forward volume for a VIP

Tester’s Opinion

Throughout both interior decks, Horizon’s penchant for quality woodand stonework is on display. Even in the beach club, every surface looks and feels high end. The flybridge is a highly social area, whether open or enclosed.

Given Horizon’s goals of creating a “superyacht” a cruising couple can run and a yacht that can actually cover some distance and encourage long-range cruising, the V68 seems to hit the mark.

stateroom worthy of the designation.

The second volume producer is the beam. At 19 feet, 6 inches, it is only a foot narrower than the V72’s beam — and the V80’s beam, for that matter. Having so much beam creates nice interior volume and leaves room for adult-sized sidedecks, wide enough for my 6-foot, 6-inch, 240-pound frame to move fore and aft comfortably.

As a semi-custom builder, Horizon gives buyers many choices, from exotic wood to luxury stone to plush fabrics, and from the number of staterooms to the layout to the use of the aft beach club space. And since the builder has positioned the V68 as a motoryacht with superyacht attitude, it made sure the yacht has larger-yacht touches, including a chilled-water cooling system; redundant navigation, electrical and mechanical systems; three places for eight people to dine; and the beach club. Other features include four ice-makers, six Fusion stereo heads (the third volume producer?) to run the entertainment systems, C-Zone digital switching, a 450-gallon-per-day water-maker, two wet bars and Oceanair remote-control blinds on the windows.

It’s a good thing those sidedecks I mentioned are easy to transit, because passengers are going to have a difficult time deciding whether they want to spend their time on the bow or at the stern. Both areas have socialfriendly amenities and offer expansive views.

At the pointy end, passengers will find a forward-facing settee and a sunpad. A removable backrest can turn the head portion of the sunpad into an aft-facing bench and still leave room for sunning. The twin settees then face each other across a table — room for eight people — and create a conversation area. I counted 10 cupholders.

High bulwarks provide Any wannabe a sense of secuchef will be right rity, and a hidden windlass and chain at home in the locker keep the deck luxury galley. free of toe-stubbing hardware.

Opposite the spacious bow is the cockpit — transom settee, table that can accommodate eight for dinner with the addition of deck chairs, stairs to the flybridge, side boarding gates, full flybridge deck overhang — that measures almost 11 feet from the transom to the salon door. But it’s not the most interesting social space at the stern. Below the cockpit, behind a watertight transom door that spans the area between the twin sets of stairs from the swim platform to the cockpit, is a beach club.

It’s a comfortable retreat with a great view and a waterlevel patio (the swim platform), on a yacht less than 70 feet long. On our test boat, hull #1, the beach club SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2018 21

Horizon makes sure the luxury touches are everywhere.

SPECS — down three steps from the swim platform — included an L-shaped settee to starboard, which was raised to offset the sunken nature of the space and offer a better view, and a small galley with a sink, cupboards and a refrigerator.

The space can alternatively be outfitted as crew quarters or a utility room, depending on the buyer’s needs. No matter which configuration an owner chooses, through a bulkhead door is the spacious, well-laidout, well-lit engine room — one fashionable and functional touch is a light behind each of the six fuel filters (engines and gensets) that makes monitoring contaminants easier — home to the twin Caterpillar C-18 ACERT diesel engines that crank out 1,135 hp apiece.

Orange Coast Yachts ordered an enclosure for hull #1, to give the yacht versatility, but it looks great open too. Beneath the spacious cockpit, behind a garage-style door, is a beach club.

As we cruised along at 25.4 knots (just a tad less than 30 mph), the plumb bow sliced through the 2- to 3-footers and the pronounced chine and spray rails kept the boat dry. Even trying to get wet didn’t yield any splash effect. Fuel burn at top speed, roughly 2360 rpm, was 116 gph, which yields a range of 236 miles (with a 10 percent reserve). Owners will want to be judicious about how much time they spend at WOT, but they’ll be comforted knowing the big CAT diesels can move the yacht quickly when it’s necessary. And the near-70-footer turns smoothly and evenly at wide open, thanks in part to the ABT-TRAC stabilizer fins.

At the other end of the speed spectrum, the V68’s range stretches to 820 miles at 9.1 knots, 1000 rpm. It can easily cover the distance from San Diego to Cabo or Seattle to Ketchikan, Alaska, on a single tank of fuel. At a little less than 80 percent, where the CAT C-18s were turning at 1800 rpm, the V68 was moving at 17.9 knots, and their 60 gph fuel burn yielded a range of 322 miles.

Up on the flybridge, which can be accessed via cockpit or interior stairs, is the yacht’s lone helm. There, the operator has use of all the modern conveniences, including two Garmin 8000 22-inch multifunction displays, the C-Zone monitoring and switching system, engine throttles and thruster controls, and the Garmin GRIB panel, which provides control of the MFDs from the captain’s perch. He doesn’t have to lean forward to manipulate the touchscreens; he can do everything with a few buttons and a stubby joystick. A companion

The first time I saw an Axopar, my head snapped around.

The Axopar 37 comes in five different configurations, including the Sun-Top we tested. (The Aft Cabin is shown opposite.) Some features, such as the forward sunpad and the forward cabin, are universal. The Sun-Top’s helm (bottom) is yacht-like. The aft seats on the ST (third row, left) and the aft cabin model (second row, right) hide the cabin’s entrance behind the middle seat.

rather large product offering. All models and lengths share an elongated avant garde profile, but it’s the 37, with its 10-foot, 10-inch beam, that really looks like a long and stealthy shark gliding through the water.

Itching to get going, I started our test with speed runs. We stepped up every 500 rpm and reached 44.8 knots at wide-open throttle, 5400 rpm. At this point, the upgraded twin 350 hp Mercury Verado outboards burned a combined 62 gph. A more economical speed was from 20 to 25 knots, where the outboards burned 18 to 21 gph and made light work of the 8,300-pound displacement. At 4000 rpm, about 75 percent, the SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2018 25

+ Sea Trial Axopar.indd 25

5/29/18 3:39 PM

Axopar was running at 32.2 knots and the outboards were burning just 27.3 gph. At 3560 rpm, speed reached 25.7 knots and the engines burned 21.1 gph.

The Pacific was relatively flat, offering just a light chop and a breeze of about 8 knots. Tucked into the center forward seat, I had perfect visibility over the bow even as we came up on plane in five seconds and reached 30 knots in 12 seconds. There was barely any bowrise and the boat didn’t fuss at all out of the hole — just a smooth but serious acceleration.

With a hull this distinctive I couldn’t help but take seriously sharp turns and was delighted when the hull sliced without skipping or leaning. True to the promise of its profile, it drove aggressively — all determination and agility — just like it looked. I really didn’t want to stop.

The Axopar 37 comes in several versions including T-Top, Sun-Top (our test boat), Cabin, Sports Cabin and Aft Cabin. The Sun-Top’s sliding, electrically activated canvas rooftop delivers a convertible feel on sunny days. The aft end of the top is composite and can support rocket launchers along a rail or a radar on a gimbaled mount. The tail hinges up to allow tall boaters to stand at the wet bar below and prepare drinks or get bait ready for the hook. This optional bar module hides a sink and a refrigerator and butts up against the second row of seating; this configuration leaves plenty of room for a good-sized cockpit.

If fishing and drinks aren’t one’s focus, a buyer can fill the aft cabin with a sunpad atop a small secondary cabin, which is a good option for owners who want to overnight in comfort with kids or friends.

A second sunpad is forward, its headrest angled and its cupholders outboard. Storage for fenders, coolers and even waterskis or wakeboards abounds. An optional ski post can be mounted aft, between the engines, and dual swim platforms to either side of the outboards allow for easy water access. A built-in ladder on the starboard side makes it easy to come back aboard. An owner can fish in the morning, tow the kids in the afternoon, take a quick swim in the early evening and prep dinner before retir-

ing, all in the same day on the same boat.

The middle of the 37 is laid out as an expansive center console with three seats in the forward row and four behind, separated by a folding high/low table. The forward seats swivel to face aft when it’s time for cocktails or a meal, allowing seven people to enjoy dinner together. Optional second and third refrigerators nestle under the front row of seats on either side.

One version of the 37 features a complete hard enclosure of the center section with sliding doors that provide access the sidedeck.

Called the Sports Cabin or just the Cabin (the latter comes with a reverse-angled windshield), these versions reconfigure the interior dinette to either an aft or starboard position in the hard-sided enclosure. Either layout will work well for cruising in inclement weather, but I prefer the open seven-seat configuration I tested, whose support struts on the sides double as ladders if anyone needs to reach something on the roof. Our model offered enough protection from the sun and wind but still enhanced the feeling of spending a lovely day outside.

All around the deck, excellent handholds are provided by a low, continuous railing that leads from the transom to the bow, where it angles up into two low sections of a pseudo-pulpit. Here, the railing is split in the middle just forward of an anchor locker

that holds an electric SidePower windlass. Eight Axopar-branded cleats tuck up under the railing, so tying up is easy.

The angled windshield wraps around the sides of the center section. Managed by a single wiper, it’s a tinted expanse of glass that reaches back at a rakish angle.

It’s smooth and sleek, just like the rest of the boat.

On the centerline, the helm has ample dashboard space ahead of the wheel for twin Garmin 7412 displays that are sepa-

comfortable crouching height and perfect when one is seated.

Axopar offers an online configurator, so a buyer and a dealer can try different layouts that might work for one’s type of boating.

Even jaded Floridians, who see center console boats on every waterway, will perform a double take when they come across an Axopar. It’s just that different, that versatile and, simply, that sexy. It has a James Bond appeal that might make one wonder if it’s a tender to a superyacht, but it also functions as a standalone cruiser, sport runabout or fishing boat. That it’s quite fuel efficient and reasonably priced — $266,280 as tested — is just a bonus.

Expect more Axopars to be showing up at docks along the West Coast. The company has already built more than 1,000 hulls and it’s making inroads into the North American market. And when you spot one, I’ll bet you look again.

rated by a smaller Mercury VesselView engine screen. The engine throttles and VHF radio are to starboard, as are two cupholders. The Axopar 37 has no option for joystick drive but it does offer a SidePower bow thruster. Our test boat featured one, and it came in handy as we docked.

I spoke of a “second” cabin earlier, and that’s optional. The forward cabin below is standard and includes a queen-size bed and a privacy curtain that separates the sleeping quarters from the rest of the interior. Our test boat didn’t include the additional refrigerator or microwave in the cabin, but buyers can opt for a grill up top, in case someone catches dinner.

Rounding out the cabin, to starboard is a bench seat and across is a counter with a sink. A cabinet to starboard hides the head, which I imagine will be used when only one person is below, unless that curtain is pulled in the middle of the night.

Opening ports are inset into low side windows, and a skylight overhead (situated between the helm and the sunpad above) provides ample light. I wouldn’t call it standing headroom exactly, but it’s a

Who needs a life raft? Chances are, you do. A raft serves as a floating platform to keep passengers forced overboard as safe as possible. It’s imperative to get out of the water quickly, to prevent hypothermia, so a life raft is a must, and then occupants will want to have a canopy to guard against sun and heat stroke. Also, a brightly colored canopy makes a much more visible target than someone’s head in a life jacket in the water, so it increases the chances of rescue.

The Last Resort

A life raft’s value is directly inverse to its place in many a boat owner’s mind. Out of sight does not mean lacking in importance.

BY ZUZANA PROCHAZKA

Buying a life raft is a little like shopping for insurance. You hope you won’t need it, you don’t want to spend much money on it and it generally feels like an unsexy exercise for the fairly pessimistic. You’re tempted to go cheap — bare bones — until you think about what having to deploy one really means.

B

So, how much is your life worth?

Recreational life rafts generally have a four-, six- or eight-person capacity. They come packed in either a fiberglass canister that is mounted onto a cradle on deck or in a soft-sided valise that can be stored in a locker. Rafts are automatically deployed with a compressed gas (nitrogen and CO2) cylinder. Cost depends on size and type but usually ranges from $2,000 to $6,000. Weight is a key issue, especially for rafts that will have to be moved and thrown off the boat manually. Typically, valise-style rafts weigh from 30 to 80 pounds and canister versions can weigh upward of 170 pounds.

TYPES

During the 1998 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, so many crews were forced to abandon ship due to a storm that new rules were put in place in 2005 regarding offshore safety standards. Now, these ISO 9650 guidelines play a role in the rating system for life rafts.

Life rafts can basically be divided into two categories: 1. Inshore or coastal 2. Offshore or ocean-crossing

ISO 9650 Type-2 rafts are designed for navigating in coastal and inshore waters where rescue is likely within 24 hours. They generally have a single buoyancy tube, they may or may not have a canopy, and they come basically equipped: a floating knife to cut the tether and a few other pieces of gear. The single-tube version is usually lighter and less expensive.

SOLAS transoceanic life rafts are designed for more serious conditions and colder temperatures and are more ruggedly built, including additional and larger ballast bags below and self-righting inflating canopies above. Their extensive equipment list includes a drogue (sea anchor) to help with stability and to minimize drift away from one’s originally reported position. Double tubes provide better backrests and more buoyancy, in case one tube becomes compromised.

But the taller the raft, the more difficult it is to board, even for people with good upper body strength, and they’re heavy and expensive. These rafts usually come with insulated inflatable floors for thermal protection and more comprehensive SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2018 29

Numerous manufacturers market a variety of levels of life rafts, from the entry level to the heavy-duty offshore kind.

Companies such as Revere, Viking, Switlik, Plastimo, Winslow, Givens, Survitec, Elliot and Survival Technologies all tout their differentiating factors. Although most rafts are somewhat similar, differences abound, including the selection of onboard equipment, the seals/welds and material of the construction, the number and design of ballast bags, and even the feel and smell of the fabric used. Testers have reported certain rubber surfaces being fairly aggressive, so they’re less slippery when boarding but then rough on bare skin. Some rubber compounds have reportedly smelled so bad that testers couldn’t bear exposure for even a few hours without becoming ill.

Other differences include such things as the boarding straps’ and ladders’ ease of use, bailing system efficiency, number of air fill access points, zipper quality, overall 1 . O C E A N S A F E T Y O C E A N S TA N D A R D RESCYOU PRO

raft shape (square, round, hexagonal) and number of entries, so multiple people can board simultaneously. There are individual preferences and tradeoffs to most points.

INSPECTION

A life raft is not a “set it and forget it” proposition. “There is an associated cost of ownership with life rafts,” said Bruce Brown, a moderator for U.S. Sailing Safety at Sea and a consultant for Switlik.

Although life rafts will happily live on deck or below without much care, they do require periodic inspection and re-certification, usually every three years or per manufacturer recommendations. Typically, the first certification is after three years, the second after two and then annually.

Proper care ensures the raft is always ready for use, and repacking a six-person life raft generally costs $500 to $900, including parts, fresh equipment, labor and testing, and rearming the CO2 canister.

Recertification is also a good option for anyone who buys a pre-owned boat with an older life raft as part of the package. The new owner will want to know its condition

and age, and it’s less expensive to recertify than to buy new.

It may be tempting to deploy a life raft as it nears an inspection date. After all, it needs to be repacked anyway, and seeing it in action can only be a bonus, right? Don’t do that.

“When a raft is inflated using CO2, it’s a cold gas and repeated inflations are hard on the fabric,” Brown said. “A raft is usually inflated with compressed shop air when tested, not a gas.”

During inspection, the CO2 canister must be hydrostatically tested (every three years). Also, any consumables packed inside the raft are refreshed at that time.

Switlik is now experimenting with using normal compressed air (vs. a gas) in its canisters. The advantages are twofold: one, no harsh gas on the fabric; two, an owner can inspect a gauge (like on a dive tank) to make sure the pressure is good rather than having the tank hydrostatically tested.

Switlik has an external pocket on valise models to hold consumables that can be swapped out without impacting the packed raft itself.

NEWLY RETIRED CRUISERS EMBARK ON THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME IN THE SUMMER OF 1989 Clarice and I and our two children took a boating trip to Washington’s San Juan Islands. We slept aboard a boat for the first time, and it began a love affair with cruising that in many ways was consummated in the very same anchorage 28 years later, on Aug. 4, 2017. That was the first night of our dream adventure to see the world aboard our Nordhavn 46, Salish Aire.

Much as our adventure started in the same anchorage where we fell in love with boating, it also followed much of the same path we had followed in our MacGregor 26X sailboat when we sailed it up the Inside Passage from the Salish Sea to Skagway, Alaska, and found ourselves in awe of the passing scenery every day. We never quit talking about that journey, and now we were getting to repeat it, but with the freedom only retirement and a very seaworthy and comfortable boat can bring.

SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2018 33

+ Sea feature Cruising7.indd 33

5/29/18 3:49 PM

n preparation for our journey, we moved aboard Salish Aire in June 2014 while we were still employed. Doing so afforded us the opportunity to adapt to a much smaller living space and to maintain, upgrade and most importantly learn about the boat’s many mechanical systems before we left our familiar surroundings. We initially expected to live aboard for five years before we could retire, but our retirement counselor suggested our moderately frugal lifestyle would let us walk away from our jobs as registered nurses a year earlier than we expected. Without hesitation, we moved up our timetable and it all became a reality. Now seven months into our journey, we write this from our winter home in Sitka, Alaska.

Salish Aire left Everett, Wash., low in the water. We had a full load of fuel, full holds — coffee beans, repackaged dog food, our favorite brand of diesel additive, canned meats — and lots of spare parts, but no fresh vegetables. We weren’t sure what fresh produce customs officials would and would not allow across the border, since the prohibited list seems to change frequently.

From the dock in Sidney, we checked in by phone with a customs agent in Nova Scotia, and after a hassle-free check-in — the polite customs agent confirmed that the usual two persons were on Salish Aire with the same passport numbers and the same dog — we moved

Salish Aire found a peaceful mooring (above) in Bailey Bay, Alaska, attached to a forest service buoy. After clearing customs back into the U.S. in Ketchikan, the Salish Aire crew visited Misty Fjords National Monument (below).

Salish Aire to a reciprocal berth at one of Sidney’s yacht clubs. Once the boat was tied to the dock, we took a city bus into downtown and shopped for perishable vegetables. Somehow, being in Canada and having those final provisions on board made it feel more real, that we were truly on our way.

We continued north and used our reciprocal moorage privileges with other yacht clubs whenever possible and anchored out, as part of our frugality plan.

Another part of the strategy involved staying at the many government and native village docks where the fees are much lower (or non-existent), and where we were much more likely to get to know the locals better, spending time on the same docks rather than jumping from resort to resort. This was something we learned during our previous trips into British Columbia and up the Inside Passage: this part of North America has a deep maritime heritage.

Many homes and most towns along the Inside Passage can only be reached by boat or plane, so boats and the people who own and operate them are respected. Many years ago we rowed our folding dinghy up to a bakery in a log cabin (it’s no longer there) on the tide flats of Squirrel Cove to buy some of their famous cinnamon rolls, and a very young local girl who sat on the log that served as a dock still stands out in our memory.

“That’s a nice boat,” she said.

“Thank you,” Norman said, “but I’ve always thought it was rather ugly.”

SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2018

+ Sea feature Cruising7.indd 36

5/29/18 3:49 PM

“But I notice that it rows very well,” she said.

The moral, as we understood it, is that the farther north we go, the less concerned people are with how showy a boat is and the more concerned they are with how a boat (and its operator) functions. Since we are both very interested in getting to know people and how they live and enjoy life, local docks often serve as a place to start conversations about a love of being on the water in boats.

Boaters use two common routes to the Inside Passage, the most direct being through Seymour Narrows and Johnstone Strait. We have always opted for the longer “back” route, which requires more passages through tidal rapids but is reputed to be much kinder to small boats. The back route doesn’t include Seymour Narrows, which must be timed carefully by slower boats such as ours, so they can be “flushed”

Helmsman t r a w l e r s

through when the currents are safe and favorable for adding speed over ground, because the route has to be traversed before the next tide change. If the tide you need to ride happens to oppose the wind that day, then Johnstone has a reputation for being very unpleasant.

Boating in the Pacific Northwest requires navigators to get very comfortable with reading current and tide tables, especially if they pilot boats with displacement hulls that have a cruising speed of 7 or 8 knots and a top speed of 9 or 10 knots. PNW tides are typically diurnal — two highs and two lows each day — and a single change of 13 feet is not at all unusual. The myriad islands and inlets that make the PNW a cruising boater’s paradise also create some fairly constricted channels through which billions of gallons of water move at considerable velocity.

Heading north we encountered our first tidal stream, at Deception Pass in

Washington, where the current’s velocity can reach up to 8 knots and there are numerous whirlpools, upwellings and overflows. Next was Dodd Narrows south of Nanaimo, B.C., where early in our boating career we once found ourselves going forward at 6 knots against a 6 knot current when we misread the current chart.

As we headed north of the Desolation Sound cruising waters and entered the back route to bypass Johnstone Strait, we passed through Beazley Passage and Surge Narrows on our way to rendezvous with friends in Octopus Islands Provincial Marine Park. We then timed our trek through Hole in the Wall passage so we could get a northbound push toward Gillard Passage in time to make it to the Dent Island area before the current was too strong for us to push through. We made it at full power with only 3 knots to spare!

Once through Hole in the Wall, we were Continued on page 41

QUICK ESCAPE

LADY BOOT COVE

This officially unnamed Eden Island Cove, shaped like a high-heeled boot, is worth a visit.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

AT NEAR THE TOP OF the flood tide, Lady Boot Cove was very inviting as we arrived.

Two gray buoys marked commercial crab traps at the head of the protected and pristine anchorage, a couple of harbor seals played at its mouth and a bald eagle high above in the trees called out for its mate. Moving deeper into the cove, we heard the soothing sound of a babbling creek that would require further investigation. But for now, the priority was setting the hook and getting settled into what would be our home for the next couple of days.

Our personal preference is not to jump from anchorage to anchorage daily. Arlene and I believe staying in an anchorage for two or three days at a time is more relaxing, allows additional time to explore and enjoy the surroundings, and makes for more pleasant cruising in general.

The approach into the unnamed cove, commonly referred to as Lady Boot Cove because its shape resembles a woman’s boot, on the northeast side of Eden Island in Fife Sound is unobstructed. The best holding is found in the toe of the boot. We set Easy Goin’s anchor in 30 feet of water over a sticky mud-and-shell bottom, being careful to swing clear of two drying rocks that lie on the north side of the cove and the SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2018 PNW-1

After enjoying some lunch we launched the dinghy, set two crab traps and ventured off to explore our cozy little gunkhole and the surrounding area. There was once a small settlement from the logging operation on the north side of the cove, and evidence of it is still visible. Most obvious is the anchor ring sunk in one of the drying rocks. Just east of the settlement site is a beautiful sand and shell beach.

Over at the heel of the boot is a small cove with a quickly drying foreshore.

It appeared to offer room for a boat or two but not the protection of the other cove. Inshore there are drying rocks and a large mud flat that is only accessible at near-high tide by carefully guiding the dinghy through the narrow passages between the rocks.

After thoroughly checking out Lady Boot Cove, we made the quick 1-mile run to a reported anchorage to the north between an unnamed islet and northeast Eden Island.

Pool. The anchorage appeared to provide good protection from westerlies in 20 to 25 feet of water. Back on Easy Goin’ we made a note in the ship’s log of this possible anchorage for future visits to the area.

We then headed down the narrow kelp-lined unnamed passage that leads south to Misty Passage. The passage has a sufficient depth, nine feet at zero tide, for most vessels to make passage. Through the passage is a large midden to port on Insect Island, which once was the site of a First Nations summer village that now serves as a campsite for kayakers.

Back on Easy Goin’, we watched salmon jump in the anchorage.

Fog hung over Fly Island in the distance (top), but our cove was clear and peaceful. Easy Goin’ was anchored and secure in the gunkhole (above) with barely any waves despite the wind out in Fife Sound.

On the way back to Easy Goin’ we checked the crab traps. The first had several female Dungeness, which we returned to the water. It appeared the commercial boats had fished the cove clean. The second trap also had a few females and one male in excess of 7 inches, which the commercial guys had missed. We immediately began planning for dinner.

That afternoon, the pleasurecraft Ranui entered anchorage and set the hook. The crew invited us to join them for happy hour.

Arlene picked a few herbs from her small onboard garden as a hostess gift, and we enjoyed a wonderful time sharing boating stories.

Back on Easy Goin’, sitting on the bridge and enjoying the end of the day, we watched salmon jump in the anchorage.

Good salmon fishing is rumored to be had just outside the cove along Eden Island’s northern shoreline.

The next morning, fog hung over Fly Island in the distance, but our cove was clear and peaceful. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the cabin as the birds sang a wonderful melody. We spent the day relaxing on board and enjoying our surroundings.

That afternoon a 25-knot westerly wind kicked up out in Fife Sound, but we were very comfortable and secure with barely a ripple in our pristine gunkhole.

CHRISSY MCLEAN GREW UP IN Tacoma, Wash., and was a reluctant sailor early in her life, preferring the solitude of reading to being on deck with the others. A cruise through the San Juan Islands in third grade changed that.

“I loved being on the water and especially exploring anchorages in our dinghy,” she said. “I spent hours poking at sea stars on the rocks of Reid Harbor and dipping moon jellies in a bucket from the docks at Friday Harbor. It fed a part of me that loves being outside and exploring the natural world.

That has grown into a career as an experiential educator on the Salish Sea.” McLean is the associate program coordinator at the Northwest Maritime Center (nwmaritime.org) in Port Townsend, instructing students on longboats and other small craft and working with the participants in the Girls Boat Project, a program that welcomes girls in grades 5 through 8 to learn about boating and the basics of building a boat.

Sea: What programs do you offer through the Girls Boat Project?

McLean: The Girls Boat Project meets every Wednesday here at the Northwest Maritime Center. Students in our local district have early release each Wednesday, and they come here for an afternoon program. We always spend some time chatting and checking in and then we will either go boating or work in the shop, depending on the weather. In the shop girls take turns working on our boat — a 12-foot work punt — or on their own individual bench projects. This year they made tool trays.

Most of our shop work uses hand tools.

We also run a summer boatbuilding camp for girls in August and have even added a boys woodworking camp this year.

How do you find the pupils for this program?

The program is open to any girls from fifth to eighth grade. Most of our students are from Port Townsend school district, but we welcome students from anywhere.

What do you hope for the students to take away from their experiences with your program?

Girls experience a lot of powerful things in our program. They work with strong, professional women to learn skills — woodworking and boating — that are traditionally taught by men. They also get to work in a boat shop with other professionals, which is pretty exciting. They bond with each other and develop friendships in an all-girl setting, without pressure from boys their age. They also get the chance to make mistakes and fix them — something that can be really challenging for young women, especially in an era where answers and information come so quickly.

What does the future look like for the Girls Boat Project?

We are excited for the future. There

is growing support for our program and its ability to support skill building and self-confidence in young women. We are already seeing some of the girls who were in the program in past years taking advantage of maritime vocational training through Port Townsend High School and the Northwest Maritime Center. Our hope is that the Girls Boat Project will continue to be a stepping stone on that pathway for young women to join the maritime industry in our state. We also want to continue to provide an inclusive, supportive space for young women to work together and gain confidence through learning skills in boat building, woodworking, and sailing.

What is the She Tells Sea Tales program and how did it begin?

She Tells Sea Tales, in the words of its founder, “celebrates the successes and tribulations of working and travelling on the water. It celebrates the joys and frustrations of being a minority in a male dominated endeavor.” The one-night annual event began five years ago and was started by Kelley Watson, who also started the Girls’ Boat Project. Here’s a quote from Watson: “I’m so honored that this event has taken root in Port Townsend, which is at the forefront of supporting women in the maritime industry. This same groundswell of support is often not visible in the daily life of a female mariner. My original aim with this event was twofold: to support and fund the Girls’ Boat Project, and to share and normalize that women work, play and thrive on the water.

“I’m blown away that this is our fifth year of hosting She Tells Sea Tales. It is an incredible collaboration of talented women and I’m so honored that the community supports and celebrates us with such open arms, hearty laughter and hours of attention to our stories. To those of us who work and play on the water, She Tells Sea Tales shines a light on the work we do, the grit we bring and the joy we find on the ocean.

We hope the event shares these stories with the rest of the world and inspires the next generation of young women and men to pursue their dreams no matter what they are or what the gender stereotypes tell them they need to be.”

easily and can be reused.

When we get to the boat we take our fruits and veggies out of the plastic produce bags. We transfer the fresh produce to a wire basket, so the air can circulate around it, or store it in the refrigerator. It is surprising how long some produce can keep without refrigeration.

THAT’S GARBAGE

Marine debris is everyone’s responsibility and problem.

BY DEANE HISLOP

DEBRIS GENERALLY ORIGINATES FROM TWO distinct sources, the sea and land.

Ocean and inland waterway sources include the smallest recreational boats and large commercial ships. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, some marine debris stays in the marine environment for a very long time before decomposing: derelict fishing gear (centuries), plastic bags (centuries), cigarette butts (two to 10 years), monofilament (60 years), plastic bottles (450 years), six-pack holders (400 years), aluminum cans (200 to 500 years), Styrofoam buoy (80 years).

One issue every recreational boater confronts is, How do I deal with the trash?

Whether you are spending a weekend anchored in a secluded cove, at a marine park or cruising the Inside Passage, it only takes a few days before the trash begins to pile up.

There’s never enough room for trash, so during our years of cruising, Arlene and I have developed and implemented a process that we use regardless of where or how long we will be out cruising on Easy Goin’.

WHERE TO START We consider product packaging when we

make our provisioning choices, and that can affect the amount of trash produced.

We consider not just how much trash a particular item will generate, but whether we can get rid of some of that trash before we leave the dock or, better yet, before we take it aboard. By doing so, we can easily go a couple of weeks between trash dumps.

PAPER OR PLASTIC We haul our provisions to Easy Goin’ in reusable cloth shopping bags. Besides making it easy to transport the provisions to the boat, we eliminate the need to throw out used plastic bags. Cloth bags store

If an item comes in a cardboard box and there is an inner liner, we get rid of the cardboard and save the directions by taping them to the liner. Eggs are removed from their cardboard container and stored in a plastic egg container.

We take dried food items out of their packaging and vacuum seal the contents or store it in zippered bags. We cut out the cooking instructions and place them in the bag before sealing it or tape them to the outside of the bag. We store rice, flour, sugar, coffee, tea, pancake mix and so on in airtight plastic containers, which come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Beyond being stackable, the containers are airtight, leakproof and have secure tabs that latch on each side, keeping them sealed no matter what. Removing the packaging eliminates trash and saves on space.

STYROFOAM Before departure, we remove meat from its original packing, discard the Styrofoam tray and the plastic napkin, and vacuum seal the meat in flat serving-size portions.

Vacuum sealing not only reduces trash on board but also extends the life of food.

Frozen foods suffer freezer burn, but refrigerated foods spoil more quickly. You can also pack a lot more items in the freezer when the bulky packaging is removed.

GLASS AND PLASTIC The contents of glass jars and plastic tubs are good candidates for storage in stackable plastic containers with locking leak-proof lids. We look for products in plastic rather than glass containers and make use of dried, dehydrated or freezedried foods such as pasta, rice, instant mashed potatoes, hash browns, fruit, instant soups, sundried tomatoes, oatmeal, beef jerky and hot chocolate.

When glass jars and plastic tubs do make it on board, such as peanut butter or jelly jars and plastic tubs that margarine and sour cream come in, they become garbage containers once they are empty.

Anything with a wide mouth and a tight lid is great for collecting food scraps.

Empty 16-ounce plastic water bottles can add up in a hurry. Therefore, we opt to use refillable high-quality sports bottles with built-in filters. We fill them with water from the onboard water supply or, if we are going to be in an area where we are going to take on water that is suspect, we will provision bottled water in 2½-gallon plastic containers (equals 20 individual bottles). When one is empty, we flatten it for easy storage until we can dispose of it properly.

The quality of boxed wine has come a long way. We remove the bladder pouch from the box and discard the cardboard before leaving the dock; the pouch is easier to store when full and when empty can be flattened, producing far fewer bottles to recycle.

CANS We try to limit the number of canned goods on board, due to disposal issues, but when there is no choice, we rinse the empty cans, place the lid inside and PNW-12

Make smart packaging choices — vacuum pack meat, put dry goods in sealable containers, use cloth bags — and minimize trash output. Take the bladder pouch out of boxed wine (below) to save even more room.

flatten the can for storage in a plastic bag.

We do provision soda and beer in cans, because they can be stored more easily and later smashed flat and stored in a plastic bag for recycling. (Exception: in Canada they only accept un-smashed cans for recycling.) We have a rubber welcome mat that we smash cans on. Before smashing them, we rinse them with seawater, so we don’t use any of our valuable water supply and they don’t attract bugs. Then we store them in a separate bag. Why a separate bag? It has been our experience that remote marinas may not have garbage service but will take soda and beer cans for recycling.

Between recycling the majority of the packaging before departure and compacting trash, we can go two to three weeks and only fill one 13-gallon trash bag, which we stow in the lazarette.

A further advantage of compacting trash is that some locations where trash service is available charge by the bag. Why pay for multiple bags when one will do?

PAPER TOWELS Rolls of paper towels can take up a lot of space, and they produce more trash to deal with. Clorox Wipes are a great substitute that will handle many of the tasks of a paper towel, and more. They are durable, washable,

reusable and quick to dry. While we use far fewer paper towels, there are still times when we want one, so we purchase rolls with the half-sheet perforations, so we don’t always use a full sheet.

FOOD SCRAPS Food scraps are another issue when managing the trash. Biodegradable scraps don’t decompose as quickly as one might think, so tossing them overboard is not the answer. In the trash, they’ll start to stink

pretty quickly and attract bugs. Putting scraps in an airtight container solves the problem and eliminates the chance of bugs.

We put ours in a small plastic canister with a screw-on lid that’s lined with a small pet “poop” bag. When the bag is full, we pull it out, tie it closed and toss it in the garbage bag stored in the lazarette.

The only food scraps that should be tossed in the water are those that came from the water: fish carcasses, crab, shrimp and clam shells, and so on.

A STUDENT-BUILT, TRADITIONAL

Nordic Folkboat from the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding took first place in the Cruising Class of Port Townsend Shipwright’s Regatta on Feb. 24. Traditionally built for rough water and heavy weather in the Baltic Sea, the Nordic Folkboat has an extensive history of solo ocean crossings and circumnavigations.

Three-quarters of today’s Nordic Folkboats are direct descendants of the wooden Nordic Folkboat that was built in 1942 for a Scandinavian boatbuilding competition and won.

QUICK ESCAPE

HIDDEN TREASURE

In the shadow of the Bay Bridge is an artificial island that has an eclectic history and special allure.

THE NAME “TREASURE ISLAND” MIGHT conjure images of a casino and hotel in Las Vegas or perhaps the famous adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson (who was a long-time resident of the Bay Area). But what we’re referring to is Treasure Island in San Francisco. The artificial island in the middle of San Francisco Bay did get its name from the latter, and there have long been rumors of gold in the soil used to build the island.

Treasure Isle Marina lies just north of the Bay Bridge, within an easy day cruise of San Francisco Bay’s attractions.

Today, Treasure Island is a place in constant flux; despite being less than a century old the manmade island has lived many different lives, from its rich military history to nuclear testing to wine tasting. And it has what’s arguably the best view of San Francisco.

With a current renovation budgeted at more than $1 billion, there is much change coming to Treasure Island. Visiting boaters, however, will still appreciate its flat open SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2018 CA-1

For an inexpensive meal with a million-dollar view — come to think of it, $1 million won’t go very far in San Francisco — head to the nondescript Mateo Hot Dogs and Churros.

It’s the first food stand boaters are greeted by when alighting on Treasure Island from the marina.

Patrons rave about the delicious crisp churros and polish sausages. The stand also has burritos and tamales for a quick, hearty meal. To “do brunch,” head to Aracely Café 7 . Its spacious outdoor dining area is a popular wedding and event venue for locals, and brunch can include bottomless mimosas. The new kid on the block — well, island — is Mersea 8 , a large indoor/outdoor space that takes advantage of Treasure Island’s spectacular bay views. With a full bar and brunch, lunch and dinner options, Mersea gets crowded, but a complimentary miniature golf course helps waiting diners pass the time.

A C O L O R F U L H I S T O RY Despite being less than 100 years old, Treasure Island has worn many CA-4

hats. It began humbly as Yerba Buena Shoals and then became a government building locale and Pan Am flying boat airport. Treasure Island later hosted the World’s Fair in 1939-1940 and has been used for famous scenes from Hollywood films such as “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” to “The Matrix.” During the second half of the century, the U.S. Navy used the island for training missions. The warehouse work spaces of yore are now used as event venues and even as workshops and storage facilities for the infamous Burning Man Festival’s treasures and sculptures.

Due to the radioactivity from Cold War military testing and runoff from ships, much of the island is quarantined and unsafe for visitors. When visiting, be mindful of trespassing signs.

MEET CAPT. NATHAN LINS TowBoatUS Captain & Rescuer

CAPT. NATHAN LINS OF TOWBOATUS Catalina was awarded the Meritorious Service Award by TowBoatUS for his actions to rescue a sailor after he went overboard.

The victim, on his first sail, was not wearing a life jacket and was swept away by the current. Capt. Lins halted the tow he was conducting to respond to the emergency.

He found the man in rough seas and successfully rescued him.

SEA: When did you first hear the distress call?

Capt. Lins: I was about 34 miles from Avalon towing toward San Diego when I first heard the call on VHF Channel 9. I heard what sounded like a small child saying someone fell in the water. I turned my radio direction finder on and determined that the vessel was nearby, and I was able to spot a boat about 4 miles away that matched the description.

How far out were you?

I was about 30 miles from shore.

What was your initial reaction?

At first I thought it was a kid playing on the radio, but when I heard the second distress call I realized there was actual panic in her voice and knew it was a serious situation.

You were in the middle of a tow. What did you have to do to disconnect from that?

It was a simple disconnect. I advised my tow that there was a distress call and I needed to go look, since

we were close. I asked them to stand by with radio communication until I returned.

What were your thoughts as you neared the search area?

I was trying to determine what direction the vessel had drifted from the initial man-overboard call.

How did you decide what path to take?

Based off of the direction and speed the vessel was taking, I started to backtrack toward the route I thought they had been on.

What caught your eye first?

I was looking for an anomaly in the water, and I was able to see a little bit of pale skin of his face against the water.

How much time elapsed from the time you spotted him until he was aboard your vessel?

Once I spotted him I was able to get to him quickly and get him on board within five minutes of my initial spotting.

Was this your first such rescue?

This was the first rescue of this type being 30 miles offshore and very far from the vessel.

Any advice for folks faced with a similar situation, where they’re searching for someone who fell overboard?

Gather as much information as possible. Take into account every variable of your particular situation: wind, current, swell and any other small details that you could aid you in your search.

Continued from page 38 in a curiosity of geography where we had to enter a triangular bay through the rapids of Beazley Passage or Arran Rapids or Dent Rapids. Unless you have a very fast boat or manage to get in and out on a single slack tide, you are caught in the middle until time and tide allow you to move. The good news was we were looking forward to returning to an older resort just west of posh Dent Resort. There, we had a fond memory of watching our grandsons catch their first fish off the dock. The owners were delightful company and offered a free night of moorage since we were happy to tie up at their dock, which was in need of repair. In the morning we thanked them for their hospitality, headed out Dent Rapids on the early slack and continued north.

When we first started boating, Clarice was in charge of dropping the hook off of the bow, and I tried to get it to set while

we yelled back and forth in an attempt to coordinate our efforts. The end result was that anchoring out became associated with a lot of anxiety, so we avoided it. We eventually learned to understand which sea bottoms would hold an anchor and which wouldn’t, and the best ways to get the anchor to set. That, in combination with radio-assisted communication between crewmembers, gave us enough comfort in our anchor-setting skill to let us enjoy the solitude that private anchorages offer.

Some of our favorite anchoring memories have been created along the Inside Passage in nameless coves that we can picture in our mind but may or may not be able to point to on a chart. There is the anchorage where we looked out of our cockpit at a “backyard” that stretched across shallow marshes to a forest in the distance whose backdrop consisted of glacier-covered mountains. Another anchorage required that we enter it through a narrow S-shaped

channel that brought us into a lagoon that felt like a mountain lake while hundreds of salmon jumped around us. There was the moonless night in Glacier Bay National Park when we could easily see the surrounding mountains illuminated by countless stars.

We circumnavigated Revillagigedo Island, which took us through Misty Fiords National Monument, a place nearly impossible to describe. Imagine if Yosemite Park had been made even grander and then moved to a place it was extremely difficult to get to. Instead of having to share the scenery with thousands of other visitors, we had entire valleys to ourselves when we settled in for the night. When we anchored in Calvert Bay and used the trails of the Hakai Institute to walk to the beaches on the opposite side of the island, we felt like we were on one of the beaches of northern Oregon, except it was only us and our dog, Jarvis, running free.

We no longer anchor just to save money but more often because anchoring allows us to enjoy places we would never see and appreciate otherwise.

British Columbia is big. Alaska is big. There is no good way to express it that captures the true “bigness” one experiences moving through the Inside Passage. Alaska’s physical size may best be illustrated on a printed sweatshirt we saw.

It showed Alaska next to Texas, to scale, where Alaska was three times the size of Texas. But this is not the bigness I am trying to describe.

My recognition of the bigness always begins as we pass north of Desolation Sound and look at the open vistas that stretch for tens of miles. The feeling grows as we start to realize there are fewer and fewer other ships plying the waters and that settlements — or settlements that have been given back to nature — are becoming

fewer and farther between. Another sense of the size hits when we start charting our course northwest out of Wright Sound and realize that we will go in a virtual straight line for 42 nautical miles, about six or seven hours for us.

To give ourselves a better sense of scale, we have motored within a few yards of shore and looked up nearly a thousand feet at a sheer wall, at the same time noting that our chart indicated water more than a thousand feet deep below us. We have gotten used to our depthsounder reading “- -,” which means “greater than 500 feet.”

Clarice once opted not to motor over and tie to a buoy because it was “on the shore.”

We later realized that the buoy was a safe distance off the beach but her brain’s sense of scale had not yet adapted to estimating distances when everything around us was bigger than we had ever experienced.

In Alaska when there is a “big” run of fish, we can’t see the bottom of the river. In

Alaska bears are bigger, trees are bigger, moss is deeper, rivers run wilder, glaciers are, well, glacial in size. We have had to explain, repeatedly, to friends and family that when we were in Sitka for almost eight months we were only 40 miles closer to Anchorage than to Seattle.

It is the bigness that is the attraction for us. We can go from one cove to the next and feel like we have gone many miles, because the scenery has changed so drastically, or we can go from one town to the next and take a full day to get there. We can decide a cove is “too crowded” when there are more than two boats, because there is always another nearby cove we can have to ourselves. We expect to be in Alaskan waters for about a year and have no expectation that we will do anything beyond seeing the barest minimum of the shoreline — and none of the interior — and still leave with memories bigger than we can yet imagine.

OBITUARIES

Remembering Wayne Rodgers

WELL-KNOWN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA yacht broker

Wayne D. Rodgers died suddenly May 9 at age 70. Born in Philadelphia on April 4, 1948, Rodgers worked for many years in the Southern California marine industry and owned his own yacht brokerage, W.D. Rodgers Co., until his death.

Rodgers’ relationship with the water goes back to his youth, according to information provided by longtime acquaintance and marine surveyor Bunker Hill. Rodgers coached the sailing team at UC-Santa Barbara after he graduated from the institution, and then went on to add many sailing exploits to his résumé. He competed in sailing in the Olympic trials, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, competed in Transpac, raced to Cabo and Puerto Vallarta, sailed through the Bermuda Triangle and raced many other places.

Rodgers was once a boat builder, but it’s his time as a boat broker — first in Santa Barbara, then with Ardell and then independently — that he will be remembered for by most people. According to Hill, he “represented his clients with a level of professionalism and integrity rarely seen in the industry.”

His work in the industry led to him being honored by the California Yacht Brokers Association in 2014. He was that year’s recipient of the Merle Parke Award, which is presented annually at the CYBA dinner. It goes to an individual who selflessly contributes to the California boating industry and has been awarded since 1985.

Rodgers is survived by his daughter, Elizabeth Rodgers Horan, and his son-in-law, Nicolas Horan.

Remembering Scott Poe

FORMER DENISON AND JK3 yacht broker Scott Poe died in April after a short illness. Born May 3, 1963, and raised in the San Francisco area, Poe learned to sail at age 3 and continued doing so until his death. Most recently Poe was a captain for the Orange Coast College offshore sailing program, and before that he was a yacht broker in Southern California.

According to an obituary in The Log, Poe had participated in many races and loved teaching young sailors. During his college years, he was the captain of the University of Hawaii and San Diego State sailing teams. He participated in many local and long-distance races, including the Pacific Cup, Transpac, L.A. to Tahiti, Newport to Cabo and Ensenada. He sailed more than 60,000 nautical miles and secured at least two national championships. He was associated with Balboa Yacht Club and was a distinguished member of Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club in Corona del Mar. Poe is survived by two sons from his first marriage, Zachary and Jake Poe; his wife of 11 years, Cheri CurryPoe; his son with Curry-Poe, Miles Vinikow; stepson Mike Dopeso; a brother, Rudy Poe, and sister, Dana Kim.

NATURAL SELECTION When Darwin wrote about Survival of the Fittest, he wasn't talking about yachts. But we are.

The new Alaskan 66 Mark II is the next link in the evolution of trawler yachts. Rugged. Comfortable. Durable.

And great looking too!

(206) 789-8044 | www.seattleyachts.com Like all Alaskan Yachts that preceded her, she is seaworthy and seakindly. And as strong as a bear.

Yet, the Mark II series incorporates state-of-the-art sophistication in its common-rail diesel propulsion engines, enclosed prop-shaft system, electronic controls, hydraulic steering, hydraulic anchor system, vectoring thrusters, and stabilizers.

The new Alaskan is the latest product of natural selection. Ready to survive and thrive.
