Editor and Publisher • Duncan McIntosh Jr. VP and General Manager • Jeff Fleming
HAPPY HOLIDAYS? ALREADY? READY OR NOT, 2018 is barreling down on us like one
of those South African great whites sneak attacking a poor seal just in time for a Shark Week special. But while the seal is typically oblivious to its impending demise, we have the advantage of the calendar to remind us — every day — we’re about to be chewed up and spit out by the great white shark that is the final six to eight weeks of the year. In an annual effort to take some of the sting out of the holiday season for our readers, we’ve compiled our annual Holiday Gift Guide, and it is presented in this issue for all of you, beginning on page 44. Our 30-item list is a great start for a shopper with boaters on the list, but what the list should do is point you in different directions that lead to dozens and hundreds of gift ideas (we can’t do all the work). If you wait till the last minute now, that’s on you. We tried to make things easier. Once the gifts are purchased, wrapped and opened, it’s time to make some resolutions. If one of yours is to get out there and cruise more, or maybe even to point the bow in a particular direction and not turn around for a long time, then you should check out the cruising feature that begins on page 18. Brian Calvert left the dock — and his means of 6
making a living as a yacht broker — in Seattle more than eight years ago, and while he’s been back on occasion, his Selene trawler, Furthur, hasn’t. He and the yacht have been in Indonesia and the Philippines for several years now, cruising what Calvert swears are some of the best, most diverse waters on Earth. We’ve heard from Calvert before, and each time I come away impressed with how the dude left Seattle with the barest inkling of a plan and turned it into the type of odyssey many boaters dream of but never even attempt — much less make work. He has learned to live with the rhythms of an unseen, unnamed force that is some combination of wind, water, fate, luck, love and cultural awakening. Throw in his insatiable inquisitiveness, and the recipe for long-term cruising is complete. Heck, by the time you read this (or very shortly thereafter), he will be married to a Filipina he met during his travels. That’s a dude who’s taking what the universe is offering and then wondering what’s next. In a year or two, we’ll find out what’s next, but if you want to stay current with his travels, check out his blog at FurthurAdventures.com. OK, happy holidays from the Sea crew. We’ll see you on the flip side of the calendar page.

It’s Got the Look
Dutch builder Zeelander delivers a bigger version of its popular Z44 dayboat.
A
ZEELANDER YACHT in profile is unmistakable. It begins with a high, sharp bow and moves aft along a shearline that swoops gently downward toward the curvy stern and forward-sloping reverse transom. It passes a superstructure that is all soft curves and whose windows are curved to match the hull. Even the vertical hull windows have rounded corners, to further the soft lines. But all those curves don’t mean the Z55 is soft. Yes, it’s definitely a Dutch-built dayboat with flair, but its sharp entry and double-chine design deliver a smooth and dry ride, and the Volvo Penta engine options, from twin IPS 950 to twin IPS 1350, deliver top speeds from
32 to 43 knots. Belowdecks are three staterooms, including a full-beam amidships master, a spacious forward VIP and a starboard bunk room. The master has an en suite head, while the other two staterooms share a second head. And while the accommodations are very nice and roomy, especially on a 55-foot, 7-inch vessel, the main deck is where people are going to want to be. In the cockpit, a large settee encircles a table. Walkways from the side doors and the transom entry partition the settee into four sections, but it still has room for eight people. Forward of that are four stools at a bar that shares a bulkhead and window with the aft part of the
galley. With the substantial window lowered into the bulkhead and the door open, the cockpit and main cabin become one space. Forward of the galley is the combination salon/dinette/helm. An L-shaped settee has room for four or five people, two chairs to starboard expand the seating capacity, and the twin captain’s chairs at the tripleMFD helm swing around, meaning up to nine people can join the action. Don’t fret the lack of a swim platform, because it’s there — hiding in the transom when not in use and flipping down when necessary. It’s a neat feature that serves practical and aesthetic purposes.

Ninja Turtles
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT sea turtles, the turquoise waters
of Hawaii or the Caribbean might come to mind, and you’re definitely not envisioning a flood-control channel in Long Beach. Yet a colony of sea turtles is flourishing in the murky waters next to an electrical power plant and the 405 freeway. Originally spotted in the San Gabriel River in 2008, the random green sea turtles were thought to be lost wanderers. Researchers say that the turtles are relatively healthy. If you’re boating by the river or in nearby Alamitos Bay, Anaheim Bay, Huntington Harbor or the Naval Weapons Station, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for these ninja turtles.

MARINERS FOR CENTURIES HAD LIGHTHOUSES to thank
for safe passage in dangerous waters, and the structures still hold many people — boaters or otherwise — rapt. If you find yourself on land in the Northwest, there are many lighthouses to visit. According to BestOfTheNorthwest.com, these are the best of them, for spectacular views and peaceful isolation.

MEXICO REPORT
SADDLE UP FOR A NEW RALLY Starting from Barra de Navidad, the Panama Posse will cruise from December till June.
FELIZ NAVIDAD MEANS MERRY Christmas in Spanish, and Barra de Navidad, roughly 150 miles down the coast from Puerto Vallarta, is an ideal place for boaters to spend their holidays, including Christmas. Coconut palms fringe the marina’s sheltered 200-slip basin, fuel dock and private beach coves. The stunning architecture of the five-star Grand Isla Navidad hotel climbs the jungle-clad mountain overlooking the marina. It’s a very pretty place. Marina guests get to enjoy most of the hotel’s amenities, including three pools, four restaurants, the spa, boutique shops, golf, the concierge desk, an airport shuttle and more. On Dec. 25, 1540, Mexico’s first viceroy named this sandy bar — a barra — which accessed two navigable lagoons. He planned to use it as a shipyard to build the Manila galleons that Legaspi later would sail on his Philippines expeditions. Holidaymakers always enjoy the low-key tourist town of Barra de Navidad, which spreads along the narrow sand spit that forms Laguna Navidad, the front lagoon. Barra is a surfer’s haven during the summer, but by winter it’s all about cruising and sportfishing. Water taxis zoom between the marina and the back side of Barra, which offers dinghy-up restaurants and cruisers bars.
The French Bakery delivers fresh croissants, pastries and bread by panga from Barra over to the marina on a daily basis — treats not to be missed. Neither should one miss the aroma of freshly roasted coffee wafting through the palms from the marina’s beachfront coffee shop. Marina Cabo Blanco is a private yacht club with vacation homes lining three man-made channels off the north side of Laguna Navidad. Laguna Colimilla is the larger back lagoon, which houses the fuel dock for Marina de la Navidad and a not-wellcharted free anchorage located just off the panguero village of Colimilla, complete with its own set of waterfront eateries and a handy outboard repair shop. One of the most beautiful marinas in Mexico, Marina Puerto de la Navidad at Barra de Navidad, is hosting the first Panama Posse, a whole new group of recreational boaters that is cruising from Barra de Navidad down through Central America and ending at the Panama Canal. This inaugural Panama Posse Cruisers Rally is free to join, and so far it consists of

about 30 cruising boats, most from the U.S. and Canada. Most entries are sailboats, but there are some powerboats too, ranging in length from 27 to 225 feet. Registered participants are enjoying slip discounts and cruiser events at the marina. Many powerboats will have just completed CUBAR (Cruise Underway to Baja Rally), which ends before Thanksgiving either at La Paz or Puerto Vallarta, and many sailboats will have just finished the Baja Ha Ha at Cabo San Lucas. Others will have reached Barra de Navidad independently. The Panama Posse’s launch party will be held at the marina Saturday, Nov. 25, and that kicks off a week of seminars that include “Provisioning,” “OpenCPN,” “Satellite Overlays on Electronic Charts,” “Weather” and “Safety.” By Nov. 30 the group plans to depart Barra and slowly cruise farther down Pacific Mexico and Central America. They’ll be leap frogging and making many stops along the route, ending near the Pacific side of the Panama Canal in June 2018. That’s good timing, because they’ll 16

be safely south of hurricane alley before hurricane season begins. A “posse,” according to the group’s website, is “a group of people who have a common characteristic, occupation or purpose.” This self-organized group’s philosophical purpose is all about sailing Mexico and Central American waters “with likeminded cruisers, creating lifelong friendships, exploring and experiencing new countries and cultures, enjoying the sense of security that safety in numbers affords, not breaking the budget and, most of all, having fun.” Anyone who wants to join the Panama Posse should visit panamaposse.com, where there’s information about the journey and how to register. Joining is free but the required burgee is $25. The burgee gives the group a head count and makes the boats recognizable when they show up at anchorages and participating marinas along the way.

foreign territory to go in the company of a small, loosely organized group that offers c Point Loma Publishing 2012 local knowledge and sort of knows where everyone’s going. Benefits include, according to the Panama Posse, safety in numbers; a daily communications net; vessel tracking; details for country check-in procedures; a list of fuel stations, chandleries, provisions, haul-out facilities and dive shops; group excursions on land, special discounts and parties along the way. A long way it is, too, about 1,850 nautical miles, depending on which of the approximately 120 ports and anchorages participants opt to stop in or skip past. Participants are free to linger longer where they wish and catch up with the group down the road. Along this popular cruising route, Posse stops are planned in southern Mexico’s Puerto Chiapas during December, El Salvador’s Marina Bahia del Sol for New Year’s, Honduras and Nicaragua in February and March, Costa Rica in April and May, and Panama during June. Some of this group will then transit the Panama Canal into the Caribbean, while others will continue down the Pacific to the Galapagos Islands. Anyone interested but too late to join this year’s cruise should visit the website, because the Posse is already taking registrations for the 2018-2019 event.

CRUISING PARADISE Coron Island and its surrounding waters and islands — including Busuanga Island (opposite page) — comprise a cruising and diving paradise. Calvert considers Coron his favorite diving location, as the seafloor around it is the location of several Japanese warships sunk during a naval battle during World War II. See more detail on the next page.

Eight years into a cruise without an end game, one man is happier than he’s ever been. Q&A with Brian Calvert
W
e first checked in with Brian Calvert a little more than five years ago, a couple of years after he had untied the lines in Seattle and embarked on his destinationless and timeline-free cruise aboard his Selene trawler, Further. Since then we’ve checked in every couple of years for an update, as he’s cruised the waters of Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines. This year we find out that he’s getting married to a Filipina woman named Donna (right about when this story comes out), he’s chartering his boat during the summer and that even eight years into the journey he still doesn’t have a long-term plan. Keep up with Calvert and Furthur, or catch up on past years, at FurthurAdventures.com.
Sea: You spent a lot of time in Indonesia and have been many other places during your time covering almost half of the world. Now you seem to be making the Philippines your base. What makes the Philippines so special?
Calvert: First, Indonesia is mystically wonderful, like no other place, a step back in time. I consider it to be like going to Brigadoon, but like the mythical town that appears every 100 years, it is limited. So it’s a great place to visit but I would not live there. On the other hand, in the Philippines, with just a few short hops I can go from rural backwoods villages to serene isolated anchorages to modern cities. And with 7,000 islands, the Philippines is a cruisers’ paradise, even though it is somewhat undiscovered by cruisers. We often anchor alone, and it is never crowded. The weather is near perfect. I cannot recall having to put a shirt on because I was cold. The natural beauty is astounding. Many islands were formed by dramatic volcanic action and jut out of the sea, while others are barely above sea level and have long, sloping, pristine, white sandy beaches.
We’ve learned from previous stories that you’re a big diver. What are the diving opportunities like? My favorite place is Coron, the site of a massive World War II air/naval

battle during which seven Japanese ships were sunk in one area. They all rest at easy diving depths. This is a wreck-diving mecca. After that is Apo Reef, which is the second-largest coral reef in the world. We have also dived with thresher sharks in Malapasqua, whale sharks and an array of smaller creatures. Water temperatures are usually in the mid-80s, so I rarely use a wet suit.
What would you say your ratio is between spending time in an anchorage vs. a marina? What has been your experience with both?
Currently our plan is about 60 percent cruising and 40 percent marina. We wait out the rainy/typhoon season at Subic Bay Yacht Club. Members get very cheap berthing and have access to a fine facility. The best boat techs and workers are here, and it has an excellent boatyard. We make sure our marina time is also our project time. Labor here is amazingly cheap and well qualified. From Christmas until July we are cruising. We go months on the hook or on moorings. Each year we return to favorite spots where we now have many wonderful friends. We also hit new spots each year and find new favorites and make new friends — 7,000 islands ensure there is plenty to see.

What are some of the land-based adventures you’ve had that your yacht has made possible?
I have a small motorcycle, which we use for a lot of our exploring. We visit Donna’s village every year, which is 500 miles from the boat. We have also been north to a mountain area and found a wonderful hot spring there. Our current rides have taken us on history lessons. We have followed the Bataan Death March route and visited the United Nations refugee facility that transitioned thousands of Vietnamese refugees. We also flew to Vietnam and enjoyed a weeklong ride on vintage Soviet-made motorcycles.
What are the weather concerns in that area of the world, and how have you dealt with them?
The trick in any tropical area is to run or hide during typhoon season. Before, we always ran. A great motto we followed goes like this: “Don’t double your docklines, double your latitude.” Now, we hide. Subic Bay is well protected and enclosed by mountains, and the marina is completely enclosed and far inland. The strongest registered wind there for the last 12 years is 60 knots. Typhoon watching is a national pastime. Any time those pesky little circles form at sea, we all tune in. The tracks are predicted well and the storms move slow and are small in area, so dodging them is not difficult.

What are the dangers of cruising in that part of the world and what have you done to prepare for them?
Since the Spanish took control and forced the Catholic faith on the Philippines, the minority Muslim population in the far south has been at conflict, recently to a new degree. Today amid the chaos in the south, there is a group that does not follow Islam but hides under its tent. These are gangsters who conduct kidnappings for profit. The current president, wild as he is, has launched a full-scale war on them and we now feel safer. We simply do not go south of the city of Cebu. If I have to pass that area — say, to get to Indonesia — I alert the military and go nonstop. We have a security plan too. Other than that area, it is safe in most of the country. We have never heard of a boat being robbed, nor of anyone being harmed in the areas we cruise.
What has impressed and/or surprised you about the people of the Philippines?
Everyone needs to toss out any preconceived notions upon arrival in Southeast Asia. PEOPLE & PLACES Modes of transportation in the Philippines vary widely depending on the terrain, as Calvert found out (above). Diving near Coron is among the best in the Philippines, thanks to natural beauty and sunken warships (below, right). Calvert found love in the Philippines. He and Donna (below) will be married by the time you read this.
Ask any long-term visitor why he loves the Philippines, and the answer is almost always the people! The Pinoy are the warmest, most generous and friendly people on earth. They have found the true balance and happiness even in situations that would be depressing to most. I like to use this example: The last typhoon smashed hundreds of houses, cut power for a month, cut supply lines and eliminated income from visitors. Many Filipinos lost everything they own. The next day they were all out cleaning up and helping their neighbors. That night they all had a party, singing and laughing the

WINGING IT / Q&A with Brian Calvert night away. And they love to eat and share; a visitor will never go hungry here.
Have you picked up any new habits or favorite foods/beverages during your time in the Philippines?
I used to dress nice, own a nice car and such. I took inventory of my attire today: $3 Crocs knockoffs, North Face shorts I bought from a street vendor near the factory, a $1 second-run outlet store Adidas sleeveless shirt, a fake $4 Gspot watch, and $3 Ray Ban sunglasses. I just bought the

first pair of long pants in eight years — my wedding pants! I take a nice nap after lunch each day, which is a Filipino must. Right now I am in the boatyard at noon and see six guys sleeping under the boats. I always give to the few beggars I see, usually orphans or handicapped, which is a habit I learned from my Buddhist friends in Thailand. Karma! Seems to be working. I say “good morning, Po” to everyone I see on my morning runs, and they say it too, only “good morning, sir” or the ever-friendly “Joe.” Although I do not make two meals a day of it, I do eat a lot of rice.
How easy or difficult has it been to secure parts and equipment for your Selene?
Every cruiser needs a mailbox service back home. Mine, Ballard Mailbox, has taken great care of me since I left. All of the parts are sent to them and they forward them to me in large shipments. As there is a big duty, sometimes we seem to lose the original invoices and must be creative. There is a chandlery here in Subic that stocks many parts and is getting much better. I just went through the boat and replaced many functioning parts that
are now 12 years old and unreliable. We often have the old part rebuilt as a spare. Once we leave Subic Bay, securing parts takes on a more challenging dynamic, so we stock up. Same goes for “American” food; it’s easy to get in Subic, so I stock up on pickles and such.
What cultural experiences have either changed your perception or brought something into focus for you?
My time each year in Donna’s village is always life changing. There is not a house in the neighborhood that would be legally habitable in the U.S. The “richest” family in the Barangae live off picking apples in Canada each year. Yet, these are the happiest, proudest and most generous folks you will ever meet. Their kids go to school in sparkling clean uniforms, perform in the bands and are cherished. Donna’s papa and mama have put four of six daughters through college — one more is in college and one is in high school. Papa works part time for $8 a day. With all this you will never hear a complaint; all you hear is laughing and the constant friendly chatter. I have never felt more loved. One cannot talk about the Philippines without telling of the world’s most beautiful women. They are the national treasure for sure, and coveted. Beauty pageants are hugely popular; each village has one. Donna brags that her province has produced the most Miss Universe finalists. The town we live in has a huge arch over the entrance, and it contains this greeting for visitors: “Olongapo, Home of the World’s Most Beautiful Women.” Let’s just say I am not the only lonely bachelor cruiser to find heaven in the Philippines.
Did you have any preconceived notions that have been dispelled by the people or the waters or the land? The list is endless. I always say everyone needs to toss out any preconceived notions upon arrival in Southeast Asia. From the start, people here will shock you with their blatant openness and generosity, so get used to it. Americans can develop a simplistic view of nationalism and pride. The first lesson, which should be repeated often, is this: “Other cultures are

+ Sea feature Cruising6.indd 22
10/30/17 1:47 PM
not a failed attempt to be us.” Donna is bewildered by what is seemingly important in the U.S. The whole “who pees where” issue puzzled her. Here, transgender people are as common as rain — not a big deal. Recently we followed the NFL’s kneel/stand issue. Here, everyone bolts to attention and sings the Filipino national anthem every time it is played. I recently saw an entire shopping mall come to a halt as the song was played. The list goes on. My entire concept of Christmas has changed. The season begins on Sept. 1 in the Philippines, as stores decorate and people sing carols and start buying gifts. They start early not because retailers ramp up the pressure like they do in the West, but because they love Christmas. The more, the merrier. Gift-giving is a long, drawn-out ritual. We give small items to many, many people. No one gets anything huge; gifts are more a symbol of love than wealth. Last year we found a deal
on knockoff Kardashian lipstick — a dollar a stick — and bought one for every ladyboy in her village. We have already started our “Christmas box” to send to Donna’s village. They always love it, and I get more joy in that giving than I ever imagined.
You’ve recently started offering charter experiences aboard Furthur. What has that been like? We want to share our favorite area and experiences with some people, so we are offering charters in Coron from January through March, which is our summer. We provide easy diving, snorkeling, hiking, fairy tale resorts and dining. Furthur has two staterooms, so we are catering to couples or four people who are connected (furthuradventures.com/charter). This way we can offer a completely custom experience. So far it has been a wonderful experience. Nothing makes me appreciate a place more than sharing it.
What’s next for Brian Calvert, his new bride and Furthur?
The adventure continues, especially since my bride loves to travel. She gets antsy sitting in the marina for sure. We will do our charter season in Coron and Palawan, then move to the central area of the country. I hope to get to Tubataha Reef next year — the only world-class dive site near here I have yet to experience. Longrange plans are yet to be drawn up, but most likely we will make a trip to Palau and back to Raja Amput in Indonesia. We will always return to the Philippines. When I set out on this adventure eight years ago, I had no goal, no end game in mind. The only record I wanted to set was having the most fun. I have found an area I love, the best boating and an incredible life partner with whom to share it. I am halfway around the world — as far from home as I can get. Any more travel takes me closer to going back, something I have no desire to do, at least not long term.

THE EXPERTS
By CAPT. FRANK LANIER
SEACOCK INSPECTIONS
A
Common seacock problems to avoid include a handle blocked by a header (A), improper double hose clamps (B), and corrosion and a deteriorated hose (C).
LIKE ANY EQUIPMENT LOCATED out of sight in the dim recesses of the
bilge, seacocks generally receive little thought or attention — unless they fail. Knowing some inspection and maintenance tips can help an owner keep the boat’s seacocks ready, willing and able. The most common seacock types are tapered plug, expanded rubber plug and ball valves. Gate valves are notorious troublemakers and are not recommended for use as seacocks. Not only are the worm gear and the associated guts of the thing prone to corrosion and failure, it’s possible that trash could prevent the gate from closing properly. An un-flanged ball valve screwed directly onto a through-hull is also fairly common, although this isn’t really an acceptable practice. Modern ball-valve types that feature a supportive flange, like the traditional tapered-plug units, are a much better option. Material-wise, seacocks will be made of either marine-grade bronze or composite construction (e.g., Marelon).
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
2 / Verify the installation of backing
least monthly, both to ensure proper operation and to head off any potential problems. Start with a visual inspection of each seacock, keeping watch for issues such as leaks, broken hose clamps, damaged or missing components (e.g., handles), and corrosion. If it’s part of a bonding system, check to make sure all the connections are tight and corrosion free, for proper operation.
3 / Check the seacock for smoothness of operation, ensuring it not only opens and closes but can be easily reached in an emergency and that the handle can be moved through its full range of operation
1 / Seacocks should be inspected at

blocks and that each is stable, leak free, properly sized (i.e., the surface area is greater than that of the seacock flange) and in the case of wood, rot free.
without being blocked by anything, including equipment and cabinetry. Seacocks that are frozen or otherwise inoperative should be serviced immediately and returned to full operation.
4 / Other installation faux pas to watch out for include the use of PVC fittings or plastic-to-metal joints. Both materials have different expansion and contraction rates, which can result in plastic fitting cracks or splits. Also watch for installations that utilize a short piece of pipe or hose between the seacock and the through-hull, which introduces a potential failure point inside the hull that is unprotected by the valve.
5 / If there’s any question whether a seacock is working properly, remove the hose and look through the seacock to verify its operation or to spot blockages. If the vessel is hauled, another option is to shine a flashlight into the through-hull from the outside and observe its operation while someone inside opens and closes it. 6 / Next up, inspect all seacock hoses and make sure they are of the correct type (marine grade and approved for use on fittings below the waterline), free from damage and deterioration, and that each end

1 / Close the valve 2 / Pull the seacock hose 3 / Remove remaining water from the valve/tailpipe 4 / Swab a suitable waterproof grease onto the ball is double clamped with stainless steel clamps, where there is sufficient hose barb to allow it. That last bit about sufficient hose barb is important — otherwise, the installation of a second clamp will crush or cut the hose. Finally, during the inspection keep in mind that all hoses have a limited lifespan. Recommended replacement time varies between manufacturers; however, 10 years is commonly quoted, regardless of appearance.
MAINTENANCE
While specific maintenance requirements will vary based on the type of seacocks that are installed (e.g., plug, ball, bronze, Marelon), general maintenance should include operating the seacock monthly and a good greasing at least twice a year, even for so-called maintenance-free units. Seacocks without a grease fitting can be lubricated while a boat is in the water by following these steps:
5 / Inspect the hose for damage, deterioration, corroded hose clamps, etc., and then reattach 6 / Exercise the valve four or five times to spread the lubricant Note: Steps 4 through 6 can be conducted from outside the hull when the boat is hauled, to lubricate the opposite side of the ball and seals.

OUTER REEF
610 MOTORYACHT
A classic exterior and timeless interior make this ocean-ready couples cruiser an attractive and sturdy do-everything yacht. seems like everyone wants everything immediately, and with minimal effort. One can swipe to find a date, use an app to hail a car ride, or consult Google for an education. But like a fine wine or gourmet cheese, some things need time to make perfect, and that includes the selection of a yacht. I was fortunate on the day of my sea trial of Outer Reef Yachts’ latest offering, the 610 Motoryacht, because the new owners were along for the ride. Well, not just any ride. It was their first time running Sandana since its recent delivery. And there I learned their process for choosing the 610: cautious, methodical and with a lot of research. What first clued me in to the type of owners Dan and Sandy would be was their level of excitement. Dan was beaming with the exuberance of a kid on Christmas morning, not just wanting to show off his new “toy” but to unleash the yacht from the

Tester’s Opinion
dock and see what it can do. Sandy, albeit a little less animated but just as enthusiastic, spoke about their plans for a shakedown cruise from Florida to her homeport in Rhode Island. (Note: They completed the 1,200-mile journey with only two stops in five days, six hours.) If the owners didn’t know something about the 610, they were eager to find out. Dan proudly showed off some of the features, such as the twin displays that include video feeds from onboard cameras, and occasionally he had to inquire about others, quizzing Outer Reef’s commissioning captain, Randy Ives, our man on the wheel for the day. What the Outer Reef 610 did was handle the seas very well. Dan’s excitement bubbled over as we exited the inlet into four- to six-foot choppy seas. Weighing in at 93,000 pounds, the 610 delivered sturdiness underfoot, and a set of ABT Trac 2200 stabilizers with seven-and-ahalf-square-foot fins helped to keep the deck level. Response from the Teleflex hydraulic steering system and destroyer wheel was instant and assured. Asked how he felt about the ride, Dan explained that if the 610 ran this well in these seas and with
this much comfort, it would be a breeze in anything less. And that’s important for this owner/operator team. Since this is an owner/operator couple, a key aspect for the yacht is all access. From the lower helm, there are port and starboard weathertight doors to the sidedecks, making line handling or provisioning less troublesome. Full walk-around sidedecks with a non-skid surface add safety, as do the high gunwales — a huge consideration when children are on board. Aft are side boarding gates on either side, twin staircases from the integratedinto-the-hull swim platform to the aft deck and a sliding door from aft into the salon. Access to the flybridge is via a staircase from the lower helm or a ladder from the aft deck. Up top, the Deluxbridge full-beam deck offers commanding views, space to relax and a spot to house a water toy or two. Under the hardtop, the forward helm has all the controls and electronics needed for extended cruising. Port and starboard settees are in close proximity to the single Stidd helm seat, keeping family and guests in the conversation. With a barbecue grill and a wet-bar station on the boat deck, meals can be prepped, cooked and served in an open-air setting. These owners opted for an AB Nautilus 13-foot dinghy with a 60 hp Yamaha, which is stored on the boat deck. Doing the heavy lifting is a 1,000pound aluminum davit with a nine-foot telescoping arm. Outer Reef knows that yacht owners like to spend as much time on the outside decks
With a hull that’s solid fiberglass below the waterline and foam cored above, and constructed from only three major molds, the 610 is an extension of the 580 Outer Reef. Adding just a few feet of length offered exponential space and allowed designers to be more creative in satisfying owner’s dreams. It handles rough seas exceptionally and responds well in tight quarters.

Other nice features include salt- and freshwater washdowns (even for the anchor and chain), stainless steel railings that increase in width toward the bow, deck lockers and drainage that is plumbed to exit at the boot-stripe, to prevent black streaks along the hull. Inside, the salon has a simple layout with charm. Fixed 3/8-inch-thick windows are aptly sized and separated by posts with sconce lights. Overhead, the vinyl headliner is ringed by a teak-and-chrome grabrail. An L-shaped sofa runs along the port side, and two swivel armchairs are to starboard. Teak-and-holly flooring carries through the yacht. With three steps delineating the salon from the forward areas, it feels like its own oasis but with an openness that allows for flow.

needed for extended cruising. Granite countertops offer plenty of work space, and the island doubles as a serving area and storage cabinet. The GE Monogram appliance package includes a side-byside refrigerator/freezer tucked under the starboard staircase next to the pantry, a dishwasher, a garbage disposal, a propane gas cooktop with a potholder, an oven and a built-in microwave. There’s also a galley window that slides open, a Grohe faucet with undermount sinks, seven overhead lights and a glass backsplash. Forward to port is an L-shaped dining area that offers a great vantage point during a meal or for someone acting as an extra set of eyes for the captain. Everything is within easy reach even while the yacht offers breathing room and comfort, thanks to the 610’s space allocation and floor plan. The single Stidd helm chair in the pilothouse is all that’s needed; a second chair would be in the way. The dash is full of electronics, including Furuno plotters/displays, a John Deere engine display and gauges, Glendinning controls, Side-Power bow and stern thruster joysticks, two Northern Lights generator control units (12 kw and 16 kw) and tank monitors.
A stickler for details, Dan pointed out that the Outer Reef team was willing to work with him on a few changes, and that they follow their own practices to ensure things are right, literally down to a bolt and nut. Here, Dan showed me how an access cover is secured with a through-bolt and wing nut, pointing out that the end of the bolt doesn’t exceed the top of the wing, reducing the chance for snags or injury. Then there’s the interior teak steps. Each includes a Bolon weave inlay that adds style and, more importantly, traction, along with transparent non-skid edging. As Dan and Sandy want this yacht to be everything to them, they included four rod holders in the aft deck staircase gunwale. They never know when they’ll want to troll up fresh fish for dinner or sit lazily on the swim platform casting to schoolies. Down below, the twin John Deere engines are protected by railings that will offer a handhold and prevent one from falling on top of a hot block. There’s good access to filters, generators and the bilge. Aft is a lazarette, where the owners opted for a custom stainless steel workbench with a mounted vise. Just the sight of that gives the impression that this owner is serious about doing as much as he can on his own, without cutting corners. There’s also storage for gear and room for ancillary systems.
Not to skimp on the accommodations, Outer Reef designed a fullbeam, amidships master with a king or queen berth with a seveninch layered foam mattress, a walk-in closet, a flat TV and more. Two highlights include the starboard desk with side drawers and lockers — perfect for Dan on those occasions when he needs to work — and a portside bank of dresser drawers. It’s composed not of four drawers or even six, but 10 drawers with a center locker. Knowing that a builder can accommodate such vastness can be a deal sealer. Forward is the VIP stateroom, which includes a tapered queen berth, under-berth storage, two hanging lockers, carpet, and overhead and reading lights.

HUNT
32 CENTER CONSOLE
This stare-inducing dayboat also has fishing and performance chops. COMING OFF THE TOP of a ship’s wake at 40-plus knots, the Hunt 32 Center Console took the hard landing with nary a complaint. The wheel didn’t shudder in my hands, the stern didn’t shimmy, and the hull didn’t rock back and forth or try to slide to one side or the other looking for a different path forward. It was a pretty good encapsulation of the boat — its design, build and mission. Hunt Yachts are pretty, certainly. The traditional flag blue hulls stand out in a marina. Our test boat, the first 32 CC on the West Coast, is also the first one with a gray hull. And while their appearance is worth noting, as I’ve already done, it’s the hull itself — under the paint or gelcoat — that makes a Hunt boat a Hunt boat. The hull’s deep-V entry slices through the water, and its flare keeps bow passengers dry. The deadrise lessens toward the stern, but even at the transom it is 22 degrees, which should make the boat tippy, but that’s not the case. Hard chines at the waterline, working with two more features — Hunt calls them liftstrips; others might call them strakes — keep the boat from rocking, even in a beam sea. The chines begin about a third of the way aft on both sides and run to the transom, and the strakes go from bow to stern. Owing to forces that Ray Hunt and people like him understand, that combination holds the boat solid in the waves. I’ve ridden in several boats with gyro stabilizers, and the effect of the Hunt hull is similar to that. When a wave or swell hits the beam, the boat rocks, rocks back and then sort of locks in, like a boat with a gyro will do when
the gyro is activated during a demo. (The difference is that the Hunt boat will do that with each wave, while the gyro boat will do it once, until the gyro is turned off again, but it’s a pretty impressive sensation for a deep-V boat with no stabilization system.) We were going fast, north of 40 knots, when Miquel Corelli, Hunt Yachts’ representative on the West Coast, gave the wheel a hard yank to port, at which point the 32 CC carved an arc through the ocean swell with no hint of sliding or skipping. Then Corelli let go of the wheel. And the boat continued on its tight arc. It held its course with nobody touching the wheel. I had the opportunity to try it later, at a slightly lower speed. Our top speed on test day was 48.7 knots at 5500 rpm. Our most efficient speed was around 25 knots, which came at 3500 rpm. At that speed, the twin 300 hp Yamaha V6 4.2L FourStrokes were burning a combined 17.4 gph, for an efficient 1.5 mpg. At 4000 rpm, we were moving at just more than 31 knots while the Yamahas burned 25.2 gph (1.3 mpg). Cranking it up to 4500 rpm boosted our speed to 35.2 knots, and 5000 rpm yielded 39 knots. Fuel efficiency was 1.2 and 1.0 mpg, respectively. Performance-wise, it’s a seriously fun boat to drive. It reacts quickly to steering changes, it carves a tight turn that, as I pointed out earlier, the boat can hold on its own once it has begun, and it handles waves and wakes easily. On several occasions we let go of the wheel and watched the boat hold its line like it was on autopilot (which
Coming off the top of a ship’s wake at 40-plus knots, the Hunt 32 Center Console took the hard landing with nary a complaint.
Everyone knows a Hunt boat for its Downeast styling, its luxury touches, its Ray Hunt hull design and its performance. On the 32 Center Console, all of those features are manifested, from the versatile leaning post in the cockpit to the helm console (with twin 17-inch Garmin MFDs on our test boat) to the sociable and comfortable bow.

To be sure, the 32 CC has the Downeast look observers would expect of the Rhode Island-based builder, only there’s a fishing-looking console in the center. To starboard is deck-height walkaround access forward; to port the sidedeck is at gunwale height, to create room in the cabin below. And while the boat can easily handle a day of chasing fish on the open water, it’s a
dayboat at heart, and its layout emphasizes its sociability. Access to the boat is through a transom door from the swim platform and into a cockpit that includes a bench seat and one or two optional removable seats in the corners. A leaning post console occupies the center of the cockpit. Its aft half can be set up as a fishing or entertainment center. On our boat, it included an electric grill and a sink, but the grill can be replaced by a livewell. The front half of the console serves as storage and the base for the doublewide captain’s seat, which faces a helm with space for twin 17-inch multifunction displays. I know because our test boat had them — two Garmin screens that serve as the nerve center of the boat thanks to their versatility and ease of viewing, even in bright sunlight. A Yamaha engine display was on a teak dash above the main dash expanse, and the throttles and joystick occupied a flat section of the dash console. The molded T-top over the center console is plenty high for all six and a half feet of me to stand up comfortably, and three sides of it are enclosed with acrylic windows that leave just enough of a gap for a breeze to flow through to the helm. In the bow is a settee that comes just short of ringing the area, leaving just enough room for people to walk forward. Eight people can sit up here. A teak table provides a platform for snacks, and at least six cupholders take

the hassle out of holding one’s drink. Built into the deck is a 45-gallon fishbox that can serve as a cooler and an insulated box under one of the settee sections. The table lowers and filler cushions can turn the bow into a giant sun lounge or a berth (an optional dodger and vertical curtain provide privacy and protection). Blue LED lighting — both exposed and built into the recessed spaces under the furniture consoles — sets a festive evening mood at the dock. The console, of course, houses the 32 CC’s accommodations, and despite the bow seating arrangement, Hunt managed to fit a single berth down there. Immediately to port of the helm station is the companionway door to belowdecks, and down a couple of steps, the bottom of which has storage beneath it, is a landing that separates the galley — Hunt calls it a LOA “gallette” — and the head 32 ft., 1 in. and leads to the berth.

Forward of the gallette and head is a berth with room for one adult or a couple of children. It’s forward of the console itself and under the bow seating, so it’s a lying-downonly space, but that’s kind of the point, right? Buyers looking for a fishing-centric boat can add storage for four rods along the sides of the berth. Thanks to windows in the console walls and the door, the belowdecks space is well-lit and airy. For a 32-foot boat, the Hunt 32 CC offers a lot to write about, too much to fit it all here. Teak touches abound on the boat, from the flag staff on the transom to the helm to

One
July a few years ago I tasted the sweet life while cruising for eight incredible months, departing from Seattle and sailing as far south as Puerto Vallarta on my 32-foot Gulf Pilothouse sailboat, Mariah. The experience was all the better because I cruised with my favorite toys. Mariah could jokingly have been considered Ken’s Ark, because it carried two of each of the following toys: solid sit-on-top kayaks, inflatable paddleboards, surfboards, full-size folding mountain bikes, snorkel gear, fishing poles — plus one folding RIB with a 9.9 hp outboard. All of these items, except the kayaks and outboard, were carefully stored belowdecks for passages, and we still had room for a crew of four on a relatively small cruising sailboat. During the voyage south, thanks to this armada of toys, I was able to bike the Golden Gate Bridge, paddleboard on the California Delta, kayak through surf in Baja, snorkel within earshot of whales in Banderas Bay, dine on tuna and dorado I caught off the western Baja coast and take the Zodiac to access surfing spots along Punta Mita. Did I mention I lived the sweet life? Not only was it all fun, but at the age of 45 I was in the best physical condition of my life due to the numerous outdoor activities.
General Considerations
Face it, every cruising boat, power or sail, is basically a big and expensive adult toy (unless you live aboard full time, at which point it becomes a home). Personally, I consider a dinghy for shore access, and snorkel gear, for underwater repairs, required equipment. Beyond that, the toys we choose basically depend on personal preference, cruising location, rough passage considerations, and below- vs. abovedecks room for storage.
For example, I would choose an inflatable kayak stored belowdecks over a rigid one for a Pacific Ocean crossing; however, a rigid kayak stored on deck is nice for coastal cruising. A sit-on-top kayak would be preferred for the tropics compared to an enclosed kayak for the northern latitudes. Boat size and configuration will dictate which toys are feasible. Both power- and sailboats have unique storage challenges. Even so, I prefer two of every toy, so I can share with family and friends. Maintenance and security are also considerations. Toy cost is not so important, because as big kids, we are willing to spend money on the toys we love, whether we purchase them new or used. And the physical and mental benefits are worth it.
P L A Y G R O U N D
Dinghy: Required or Toy?
While I consider a dinghy a required piece of equipment, it can also be considered an extremely versatile toy. The discussion regarding the perfect dinghy, however, is endless — rigid vs. inflatable, row vs. power, stowable vs. fixed vs. nesting — and is best left for its own story.
Dinghy use and stowage are major considerations. Depending on a boat’s configuration, dinghies can be stored on davits, on a deck or a rooftop, or rolled up belowdecks. For example, Mariah’s nine-foot rigid fiberglass Minto dinghy is perfect for cruising the Northwest. It is stored on davits, used for short rows to shore, can be sailed around an anchorage for fun and doesn’t need an outboard. Easy. For cruising Mexico, however, I enjoyed using a nine-foot inflatable dinghy with a 9.9 hp outboard. It was also stored on davits but could be deflated and rolled up to store belowdecks for passages. Power inflatables are also very stable, can carry more passengers and gear, and are great for distant exploration. The downside is that outboards require maintenance and constant vigilance against theft. Currently, my dream dinghy for distance cruising would be a folding rigid inflatable boat that can be stored as a flat package on deck for passages and used as a sailing dinghy and a backup life raft. Dinghy choices are hugely variable depending on one’s preferences and needs. In considering dinghy options, boat owners should first determine their cruising dinghy needs and stowage possibilities and then look at what fits those parameters.
Kayaks, SUPs, folding bikes, dinghies and more are fantastic toys to find room for on a boat during any kind of cruise.

Kayak Options
After dinghies, kayaks are likely the most common cruising toy. Kayaks can serve as a useful dinghy for shore access as well as a vessel for exploration. However, like dinghy choices, kayak varieties are numerous: inflatable vs. rigid, sit on top vs. enclosed, stable and slower vs. sleek and fast, single vs. multiple passenger. Kayak lengths generally range from eight to 16 feet, and some even have sail and foot-pedal options. Sit on top or Enclosed Sit-on-top kayaks are great for kids and adults, warmer climates and small surf play. They make a great snorkeling platform and are generally self-bailing, but occupants generally end up with a wet butt. Sit-on-top kayaks tend to be shorter, which can help with storage. Think “wet paddling” with a sit-on-top kayak. Enclosed kayaks are best suited to cooler climates
and rougher conditions, and they tend to track better and propel faster than sit-on-top kayaks. They are good for overnight excursions. Enclosed kayaks tend to be longer, which can make storage more challenging. Think “dry paddling” with an enclosed kayak. I did recently see a rigid plastic kayak that can convert from a sit-on-top arrangement to enclosed with a removable coaming. Single vs. Double Cruisers with kayaks tend to have two single kayaks. Some kayaks can convert between single or double, which is versatile. Double kayaks are obviously longer and have larger storage requirements, and they come in inflatable and rigid configurations.
42
Kayak Storage Both rigid and inflatable kayaks can be stored on stanchion mounts, decks or cabin tops. Inflatable kayaks are great for belowdecks storage on smaller boats or for serious ocean passages. Inflatable vs. Rigid Inflatable kayaks are great for storage on smaller boats but take more effort to inflate and then wash, dry and deflate; and they generally provide lower performance and durability compared to rigid kayaks. Rigid kayaks are basically made of plastic or fiberglass, must be stored abovedecks or on rail mounts, need less maintenance, and generally deliver higher performance and durability compared to inflatable kayaks. Plastic kayaks are generally cheaper and more forgiving when dropped, but fiberglass kayaks can be lighter and perform better. Kayak Conclusions The choice of kayaks depends on preferred use, cruising grounds, passages and
storage options. I have two nine-foot single sit-on-top plastic kayaks, which are great for warm-weather cruising, kids and adults, and fit nicely on Mariah’s flush deck. They are relatively inexpensive, require very little maintenance and are very stable. However, on Mariah I would opt for an inflatable kayak stowed below for a serious ocean passage. I also own two 16-foot rigid ocean kayaks, but they don’t fit Mariah’s configuration.

Bicycles Standup Paddleboards
Probably the next most common cruising toys are standup paddleboards (SUPs), which are quite the craze these days — I have fallen victim to the hype. They are great for core strengthening, balance training, underwater sightseeing, and even yoga and surfing. They are a simple way to connect with the water. Years ago a small whale swam within full view under my SUP while I paddled along the beach in Westport, Wash. I realized I would have missed this visual experience if I was sitting in a kayak or on a surfboard, due to my angle of vision. What a special memory. SUPs also come in a variety of options and are rated for user weight limits.
Inflatable vs. Rigid For cruising, the major SUP consideration is inflatable vs. rigid. Like inflatable kayaks, inflatable SUPs store well belowdecks but take more effort to inflate and wash, dry, and deflate, and generally deliver lower performance compared to a rigid SUPs. However, they are resistant to scratches and dings and are more gentle on boat decks and body parts,
because they are basically a large fender. It is worth buying the dedicated 12v SUP air pump with a programmable air pressure limit, to save the time and effort of using a manual pump. Inflatable SUPs should not be stored at full pressure, especially in the sun. I have also found that standard inflatable SUPs generally do not perform well for surfing, because of their shape and flexibility, but they can be carried as baggage on airplanes. There are special inflatable SUPs designed specifically windsurfing and surfing. Rigid SUPs need to be stored abovedecks or on stanchion brackets. They generally perform better compared to inflatable SUPs, because they don’t flex and have a more efficient shape. Rigid SUPs range from cheaper foam boards to more expensive epoxy boards. They are usually designed for stability or for speed, not both. Specialized rigid SUPs can be used for windsurfing and surfing. Mariah carries two inflatable SUPs that store in a quarter berth and fit nicely on deck when inflated. One is designed more for speed and the other is a more basic design. They both came with a manual air pump, but I finally splurged on an electric SUP air pump, which was worth the money. If I had room for storage and money to burn, I would prefer one rigid SUP for speed and another rigid SUP for casual paddling and surfing.
While cruising provides the freedom to explore on the water, that freedom is limited on land. Bicycling is a great way to explore on land and run errands, and it is terrific exercise. The choices for cruising bicycles is narrower than our previous topics (unless there is an inflatable bicycle that I am unaware of).
Bicycles really need to be stored belowdecks, to minimize corrosion. All bicycles can generally be categorized as mountain bikes, road bikes and hybrids. Owners of a large yacht with room for full-size bicycles can use their favorite bicycle from home. Remove both wheels from the frame and wrap everything in a blanket, to create a smaller package. However, folding bikes tend to be the norm with cruisers. I recommend full-size folding bikes to anyone with the space. If storage space is tight, it’s probably best to select a more compact folding bicycle. They typically have 16- or 20-inch wheels and fold into the smallest package but provide the least performance. Again, all these bicycles are geared toward either comfort, speed or off-road ability. Prices and quality vary tremendously. Mariah has two full-size folding mountain bikes that take up half of the V-berth. I use a wax-based chain lubricant to avoid a greasy mess. Stored with these bikes are helmets, rain fenders, rear racks and tire repair kits.
Miscellaneous
As I indicated earlier, Mariah is stocked with snorkel gear, short and full wetsuits, fishing gear and spear guns. My wish list includes a 12v compressor with dive hoses for two (snuba), to facilitate hull maintenance and underwater exploring. Other crazy cruising toys I have seen include kiteboards, a paraglider, a mini submarine, a helicopter and even a commercially available zodiac that flies! How cool is that? I have also read about mega-yachts that have their own dedicated “shadow yacht” to carry exotic cars, speed boats and other outrageous toys. To each his own, I guess.

WITH NEW EXTERIOR STYLING, new interior decor and a new split-chine hull, the Hampton 650 Pilothouse debuts a new evolution in the Hampton Series of luxury motor yachts. Her highly refined split-chine hull was specifically designed to suit the Hampton Pilothouse’s arrangements, weights, and centers.

This will undoubtedly allow you to better appreciate her luxurious Euro-influenced accommodations – all finished in Hampton’s signature craftsmanship. Large windows and ports bath the interior accommodations in natural light, especially noticeable are the enlarged ports in the gorgeous master stateroom.

SHORTER DAYS ARE NO REASON TO STOP BOATING. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP
FOR ARLENE AND ME, OCTOBER through April certainly isn’t an off-season.” We will use Easy Goin’ less frequently than during the summer months, and our outings may not be as long in duration or miles, but assuming the wind is calm to moderate, an off-season cruise can be glorious and fend off a case of cabin fever. If one of your annual rituals is to put the boat away for the winter after Labor Day weekend, you’re missing out on some spectacular boating and marinas that are nearly empty. Don’t get me wrong, we’re
not recluse cruisers looking to live a solitary life by avoiding other boaters. We actually enjoy the company of others and relish the opportunity to meet up with friends as we cruise the Pacific Northwest. But being
in Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands or Gulf Islands in the off-season without the crowds of summer is something we embrace. It is magical being alone at anchor in a place that, in summer, would be packed with boats. Fall brings wonderful autumn colors, and the temperatures are pleasant during the day and the cooler evening temps are an indication of what’s to come. Winter cruising provides serenity and solitude and brings the holiday season and its associated festivities to the seaside communities. In autumn, the islands, coves, bays and harbors return to their rightful inhabitants: the wildlife. If you enjoy the natural world, places like southern Puget Sound, the San Juans and the Gulf Islands can be exciting SEAMAGAZINE.COM DECEMBER 2017 PNW-1

places as summer fades. Migratory birds stop or winter here, while year-round residents re-emerge when crowds disappear. You may see loons, grebes, oystercatchers, murrelets, guillemots, herons, geese, eagles and others. Shoreside denizens such as otter and mink are less shy. You may enjoy surprise sightings of whales or porpoises. As you stretch the boating season, however, there are a few precautions you need to take that will maximize your safety and enjoyment. Before you head out, be sure to check the weather forecast. Pay closer attention to weather than you normally would. Storm fronts occur in fall and winter with more regularity than in the summer. The mix of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves that make travel treacherous. Fog is also an issue at this time of the year, making visibility difficult. Radar, GPS and AIS are invaluable. Match the forecast to your vessel’s capability and your cruising plan. Be flexible. Have a Plan B and Plan C so you’re ready if conditions change faster than you expect.
1
Be sure to leave a float plan with a responsible person on shore who will know what to do if you’re overdue. A marine VHF radio or cellphone will allow you to call for assistance should the need arise. Chose anchorages carefully for shelter and reliable holding. Locations that are popular in the settled summer conditions may not be comfortable or safe at other times of the year.
2
Ensure that your boat engines are in good shape and mechanically sound. Check systems such as navigation lights, electronics, trim tabs, thrusters, winch and anchor rode, and bilge pumps. Having a few tools and spare parts aboard will allow you to fix minor problems that might otherwise cause you to be stranded the water.
3
Safe, reliable heat is essential to enjoy cruising this time of the year. Outdoor activities in particular are more appealing if we can easily warm up inside afterward. Choose a heating system that suits the size and systems of your boat and ensure it is installed and operating safely. We installed
4
a Webasto hydronic diesel furnace. Easy Goin’ is also equipped with a Red Dot auxiliary heater for when the engines are running; it operates similar to the heater in a car. The combination of the two keeps the cabin toasty and dry. The hydronic furnace is plumbed through the hot-water tank, providing hot water 100 percent of the time. There is nothing as wonderful as a warm boat on a cold day. Please, don’t use unventilated portable heaters. That’s how accidents happen. During the winter adequate ventilation is important. Humidity is higher, and you’ll bring moisture inside with wet clothing. Indoor cooking, particularly with propane and alcohol, also adds moisture to the air. High humidity steams up the windows, encourages mold and impedes wet items from drying. We crack open a couple of interior hatches on opposite sides of the boat to facilitate ventilation, and with the furnace the interior stays warm and dry. Layering is the way to go to stay warm and dry during this time of the year. Skip the naturals and go with engineered fabrics that wick away moisture and dry quickly.

Both fleece and wool retain their warmth in damp conditions. The base layer near your skin should be light and comfortable, followed by a mid-weight layer. For colder weather, switch to mid-weight near your skin and a heavier layer over that. We toss in a few pairs of long underwear (polypro), all-weather nylon and lightweight Gore-Tex pants, and jackets that fit over the fleece and wool hats. For footwear, choose wool socks (warm, absorbent and fast-drying SmartWool is our preference), deck shoes and boots, and hiking boots. We also like Manzella polartec gloves with their rubber grip palms and fingers. If you’re accustomed to living in a house with many rooms, don’t expect to be comfortable on a boat for at least a couple days. Too much closeness can sour a trip. Have plenty of books, magazines, games and puzzles on board so that all

one-pot meals, hearty stews, soups, pasta, rice dishes and an endless supply of coffee and hot chocolate hit the spot. Be prepared to meet new friends. We always take some extra food to make appetizers for happy hour. With early sunsets, it’s common to want to head inside in the late afternoon, but you might still want to spend another hour or so trading stories with other hardy boaters. You just never know when a spontaneous party will break out.

aboard, kids especially, can entertain themselves during inclement weather. Within reason, insist that everyone get off the boat at least once a day, if only to take a short walk or row around the harbor. No matter the time of year, we like to keep our cruising menus simple and easy to prepare. During cooler weather,

Year-round cruising isn’t just good for the spirit it’s also good for your boat. Unused engines and pumps forget how to work. Condensation collects in the tanks and fuel lines. Everything gets cold and vaguely damp. Keeping your boat running 12 months a year and it’s more likely to be running smoothly right into the spring.

The Norwegian influence in Poulsbo is apparent everywhere, especially in the downtown area.
THE VIKING CITY
POULSBO IS AN ECLECTIC PUGET SOUND TOWN WITH A NORWEGIAN FEEL, COMPLETE WITH FJORDS. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP
POULSBO HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN attractive place, for good reason, for Arlene and me, and return visits are always highly anticipated. Poulsbo celebrates its cultural and natural heritage, as well as its growing diversity, in many ways. Downtown has a Norwegian theme, but look closer. The Norwegian bakery, Sluys 1 , is famous for sure. But there’s also an English-style pub, Mexican and Italian restaurants, cafes featuring South American coffees, and art galleries featuring indigenous and other local artists. STROLL THE COMMUNITY Poulsbo is a great walking town, with numerous parks, trails and walkable neighborhoods. Take a walking tour through nearby neighborhoods to see the Significant Trees of Poulsbo, designated by the city for their uniqueness and size, and heritage homes
dating to the 1890s and early 1900s. A tree guide is available at City Hall 2 . There are 15 parks in Poulsbo, the largest of which, Fish Park, has a boardwalk, interpretive signage, nature hiking trails and wildlife viewing platforms. The headwaters of a fork of Dogfish Creek are located in a forested wilderness park. A seaside boardwalk connects downtown’s Muriel Iverson
Williams Waterfront Park 3 and American Legion Park. If you like history, visit the Poulsbo Historical Museum in City Hall. The Martinson Cabin, across the street from Fish Park contains artifacts, early furnishings and interpretive materials, so you can get a feel for life of early settlers. The Marine Science Center 4 downtown has an aquarium, touch tank, activities and displays, so children can learn about the local marine environment. S H O P P I N G & E AT S Downtown Poulsbo is a wonderful place to shop and find something special. Stroll down Front Street as it winds its way through the heart of town.

ALL ABOARD TO ALAMITOS BAY
NEWLY REVAMPED ALAMITOS BAY HAS NEW OFFERINGS FOR THIRSTY AND HUNGRY BOATERS. BY CAPT. WILSON SHEPPARD
MANY CITIES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA get their name from a literal description (e.g., Long Beach and Seal Beach), a historical icon (Tarzana – believe it or not!), or Spanish terminology. Alamitos Bay is a community within Long Beach, but it was originally part of a land grant called Rancho Los Alamitos. Its current surname is geographically accurate, but Alamitos may be confusing. In Spanish, adding the suffix “itos” is generally used to describe something as small. This seaside locale is not a small version of the historic mission near San Antonio, Texas. Although Alamo translates to “poplars” or “cottonwoods,” I don’t believe local greenspaces are populated with saplings of either tree. Whether you are single-handing or with a crew, by boat or vehicle, your “day in the bay” will probably start near the intersection of Second Street and Marina Drive. SOME THINGS OLD Alamitos Bay Marina 1 is the oldest and largest of the three Long Beach cityowned marinas. It is spread across eight basins. Basin 1 is closest to Alamitos Bay
Landing. Basin 2 is convenient to West Marine, Seal Beach Yacht Club, local restaurant Schooner or Later, and Joe’s Crab Shack. The parking lot next to Basins 2 and 3 hosts the Farmers Market Arts & Crafts Fair every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2
p.m. Basin 6 South is near Long Beach Marine Stadium 2 where the 1932 and 1968 Olympic rowing events were held. Mother’s Beach is located on one side of the waterway. It has a sandy shore, a protected swimming area, a large grassy lawn and playground equipment. Davies Launch Ramp 3 is on the opposite side next to Davies Bridge on Second Street. Basin 8 is across from a variety of dining, entertainment and shopping at Marina Pacifica Mall. The mall has a guest dock where Ralphs Fresh Fare 4 grocery store offers dockside delivery. A short drive from the marina is the Rancho Los Alamitos historical site and museum 5 . The property contains part of the village of native Gabrielino-Tongva people, an adobe ranch house, and beautiful gardens. SOME THINGS NEW Alamitos Bay Landing 6 , previously called Seaport Village, is located on the east side of the bay’s entrance. It has been the epicenter for new businesses within the last few years, especially within “Restaurant Row.” Ballast Point Brewing 7 has transSEAMAGAZINE.COM DECEMBER 2017

Water access at the Landing also has a newcomer and a new look. London Boat Rentals 9 began offering electric boat rentals after Pelican Joe’s closed. Long Beach Transit moved its Aqualink water taxi 10 service to a new, ADA-compliant dock to provide better seasonal service to Queen Mary and Rainbow Harbor. Before leaving, be sure to check out the CA-2
dinosaur bike rack located at the southern corner of Alamitos Bay Landing by the inland side of the eastern jetty. S O M E T H I N G S B O R R OW E D Within Alamitos Bay are three small residential islands that were inspired by Italian seaside communities. The islands were developed by Arthur Parsons in 1903 and became known as Naples. Gondola Getaways provides guided cruises through the canals of Naples, or you can rent small watercraft from Kayaks on the Water or Long Beach Hydrobikes 11 . If you prefer land transportation, rent a bike from Alfredo’s Beach Club. S O M E T H I N G S B LU E If you don’t already know what’s blue around Alamitos Bay, you should put down this magazine! The rest of us can use chart number 18749 to navigate to and around Alamitos Bay. The entrance is near the east end of the Long Beach Breakwater 12 and is protected by two stone jetties. Be careful to identify and enter between the jetties. Just east is the San Gabriel River outlet, which may resemble the harbor entrance.

Recently Alamitos Bay Marina underwent a $104 million renovation, including replacements for all boat slips, docks and various aspects of the marina’s infrastructure. There are plenty of new things to explore.
When entering or exiting the jetties, keep center channel markers to port. Inside the harbor, observe the 5 mph speed limit. For information on helping oceans keep their beautiful hue, visit Algalita in Alamitos Bay Landing. It has a retail space with many earth- and ocean-friendly products. It also accepts used beauty/health products, water filters, writing instruments and other non-standard items for recycling. The organization was founded by Capt. Charles Moore who discovered the enormous plastic debris field in the Pacific Ocean. With the abundance of activities, events, and history in Alamitos Bay, the one question is, “Do you want to visit Alamitos Bay?” Without hesitation, you should be yelling, “I do!” Just don’t forget the silver sixpence in her shoe.

BROKERAGE ADVICE
AVOID FRAUDULENT
SCAMS
THE DIVISION OF BOATING and Waterways Yacht and Ship Unit recently shared a situation in which a yacht buyer was defrauded by scammers who intercepted communication between him and his yacht broker. Yacht buyers and sellers can benefit from the lessons learned, so we’re sharing it. In the United States, mail and wire fraud is any fraudulent scheme to intentionally deprive another of property or honest services via mail or wire communication. It has been a federal crime in the United States since 1872. Recently, Yacht and Ship Enforcement received a consumer complaint involving Wire Fraud. Hackers are infiltrating business systems and the damage is becoming more severe. The hacker breaches the emails of a business or consumer looking for information directing a buyer to wire their down payments to a bank. The information is then intercepted and the fraud damage begins. It
is the back and forth communication between the parties that is being targeted. The individual in the complaint with our office was given the correct wire transfer instructions from the brokerage via a Word attachment through email. A hacker intercepted the email, altered the Word document to reflect a different bank and account number, while keeping the brokerage letterhead intact, and sent another email. The email stated that the brokerage account was under an audit, and to send money to a different account, which was in another state and to a person unknown to the individual and the brokerage. Once at the bank, the buyer presented two emails sent to him and instructed the bank to wire the funds to the wrong account. Brokers in the State of California are required to have a non-interest bearing trust account associated with their licensed brokerage. The information listed on the trust account must include the brokerage name and address. All monies associated with the sale of a vessel must be placed into the brokerage trust account. As a licensed yacht broker in the State of California, brokers need to ensure the
clients they are representing in the sale or purchase of a vessel are protected at all times. This would include your brokerage wire transfers moving forward. It is recommended that all wire instructions, including account information, be verified by telephone using the known telephone number of all parties prior to any wire transfers being made. Furthermore, if you are using a Word document, we would recommend you stop and start using PDF format for wire transfers or other documents containing personal information. However, it is not recommended to send wiring instructions that contain account numbers over email. If you decide to do so, then basic security measures should be taken (PDF attachments, encryption, etc.). Another suggestion would be to provide the wire instructions in writing to your client(s), but advise the client to call your brokerage prior to doing a wire transfer once at the bank.
