TEXAS — Over the weekend of June 9, Texas beachgoers stumbled upon thousands of dead fish that had washed ashore on the Gulf of Texas, coating the shoreline in a blanket of fish carcasses. According to local officials, the Friday waves from the Gulf of Mexico pushed the dead fish onto the shore in Brazoria County, 41 miles south of Houston.
According to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department officials, low dissolved oxygen levels in the water made it hard for the fish to breathe. The rare occurrence is called “fish kill” and is becoming more common as temperatures rise during the summer. The event hasn’t been linked to climate change. Still, researchers have stated that events like these can be expected to increase as temperatures increase and oxygen levels in water drop across the United States and Europe.
According to the United States Geological Survey, dissolved oxygen is the measure of how much oxygen is dissolved in the water— the amount of oxygen available to living aquatic organisms and the amount of dissolved oxygen in a stream or lake can tell a lot about
the water quality. Dissolved oxygen levels will increase with photosynthesis, the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water. When less sunlight is present, the photosynthesis process is slowed,
and it stops at night, all while aquatic plants and animals continue to consume oxygen at the same rate, which causes to decrease in concentrated oxygen. The most affected species to wash up were Gulf menhaden, the most used bait
species for fishermen. The potential silver lining is that Gulf menhaden washing ashore will be a popular snack for sea animals, and a significant nutrient surplus will be fed into the environment.
FAST FACTS
The long-told stories of the Bermuda Triangle talk about the mysterious vanishings of ships, planes, and people allegedly disappearing in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean.
These unexplained disappearances have caught our attention for years. Some hypothesize that unknown forces like extraterrestrials captured the humans or that vortices had sucked the vessels into other
dimensions.
However, environmental considerations can explain some, if not all, of the unanswered questions and disappearances. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, most Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes pass through the Bermuda Triangle. These dangerous storms claimed many ships in the days before improved weather forecasting. Also, the Gulf Stream can cause rapid, potentially violent changes in weather.
In addition, the many islands in the Caribbean Sea create many shallow water areas that can be treacherous to ship navigation. There is also some evidence to suggest that the Bermuda Triangle is a place where a “magnetic” compass sometimes points towards “true” north, as opposed to “magnetic” north.
The U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard claim no supernatural explanations exist for trag-
edies at sea. Their experience suggests that the combined forces of nature and human fallibility outdo even the most skeptical science fiction. They also state that no official maps exist that delineate the boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle. The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an official name and does not maintain an official file on the area.
The ocean is a mysterious ecosystem of undiscovered life and territories, and when foul weather or poor navigation is added to the equation, it can be a deadly place. This is true all over the world. No evidence exists that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled ocean area.

RE: Fast Facts: Venturing Ventura (MAY 26- JUNE 8)
“Great place to be [born & raised] 1952 Ventura senior high 1971”
—Mark WallowThe U.S. Army Corps is considering reevaluating the project’s environmental impacts after Orange County Coastkeeper filed a lawsuit challenging its previous reviews.
NEWPORT BEACH — The United States Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) has halted the dredging of Lower Newport Bay and construction authorization for the City of Newport Beach’s (the City’s) Confined Aquatic Disposal (CAD) facility. The Corps put these actions on hold after Orange County Coastkeeper (Coastkeeper) filed a lawsuit challenging the Corps› failure to thoroughly analyze these actions under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Initially, the Corps was required to respond to the lawsuit by June 16, 2023. However, to allow the Corps additional time to consider revisiting its NEPA and ESA compliance, the parties agreed to extend that deadline to July 12, 2023, with the Corps agreeing to temporarily halt dredging activities and authorization to construct the CAD facility. The parties filed the stipulation memorializing their agreement in the United States District Court on May 31, 2023.
The postponed project is a collaborative effort between the Corps and the City. As the project currently stands, the Corps will dredge the federal channels in Newport Bay to address underwater sediment buildup that could eventually impact vessel navigability. Then, dredged material deemed unsuitable for open ocean disposal due to elevated levels of contaminants such as mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) would be permanently stored in a CAD facility constructed by the City within Lower Newport Bay. At the CAD, this contaminated sediment would be covered with additional layers of less polluted sediment to try and prevent it from reentering the wider environment.
Coastkeeper believes that further environmental review of the proposed dredging and CAD facility construction would result in a revised plan that would better consider the health of the coastal ecosystem.
“Our goal is not to stall the channel’s necessary dredging or demand the contaminated material be disposed of outside Newport Bay,” said Garry Brown, Founder and President of Orange County Coastkeeper. «However, the project in its current state is not thorough enough to ensure the safety of Newport›s waters, wildlife, and human population. We hope this extension gives the Corps the time to research and realize the project›s need for additional environmental review.»
Under the ESA, the Corps was obligated to consult with National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
Fisheries (also known as NOAA Fisheries or the National Marine Fisheries Service) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) about the project’s effects on certain protected species. NOAA Fisheries contacted the Corps on April 13, 2022, regarding its concerns over the project’s potential impacts on green sea turtles, a species present in many Southern California waterways rich in seagrass, like Newport Bay. NOAA Fisheries’ concerns were never addressed. Coastkeeper understands that FWS has yet to have the opportunity to provide its input.
Through the NEPA public comment process, Coastkeeper notified the Corps of its failure to consider, among other things, adequately:
1. Project alternatives, such as remediation.
2. A thicker interim cap layer to better protect against the escape of toxic pollutants.
3. Impacts on marine mammals, including dolphin species known to enter Newport Bay.
The Corps did not consider these comments before drafting its final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact and approving the project.
Coastkeeper awaits the Corps’ decision on whether to revisit the project’s ESA and NEPA compliance. For the safety of California’s coastal waters, Coastkeeper hopes the Corps will reconsider the environmental impacts of its dredging project and CAD facility construction. If the Corps decides not to conduct an additional environmental review, Coastkeeper will proceed with its litigation.

I bought a new boat early last year and I’m having a dispute with the dealer and manufacturer regarding repairs that should have been performed under the boat’s warranty. The boat has been out of service for an extended period of time, and I have asked them to repurchase the boat as required under the California Lemon Law, but they contend that the Lemon Law does not apply because I purchased the boat through an “offshore delivery” to avoid sales tax. Can I sue them to enforce the warranty? If they can’t be forced to repurchase the boat, can I sue them to unwind the purchase, or at least to reimburse me for my loss of use of the boat?
ANSWER: Boat warranties vary considerably between manufacturers, but regardless of the features of your warranty, the laws that govern a boat warranty differ considerably from a car warranty. Our reader will have a fight on his hands because he did not buy the boat in California, and even if he did, the “California Lemon Law” won’t help him because it is designed generally to protect car buyers rather than boat buyers.
Unlike a car warranty, the warranty for your boat will cover only the components that the manufacturer was directly responsible for designing and building. In many cases this will be limited to the structural integrity of the hull and deck and

Kobe Isn’t in Kansas Anymore
“Kobe is our 17-week-old German Shorthair Pointer from [Pittsburgh], Kansas.,” said Jeff Morrell in an email to the Log. “He is adjusting to the S California lifestyle really well. He can’t wait to learn to swim in Catalina this summer off the back of his 36 GB.”
I purchased a “lemon.” Can I sue them to enforce the warranty after they contended my repurchase request?
certain other parts that are actually manufactured by the boat builder. Important equipment such as engines, generators, navigation electronics and galley appliances are likely to be covered separately by the manufacturers of those items. Our reader was not specific as to the repairs that have put his boat out of service, but this is definitely something that would be examined in a legal context.
As the buyer of a “consumer good,” a boat buyer in California is protected by a body of law known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (California Civil Code sec. 1790), and by a federal law known as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S. Code sec. 2301). The body of law that is known as the “Lemon Law” is technically called the “Tanner Consumer Protection Act.” It is contained within the California Song-Beverly Act, and the remedies available may include a repurchase by the manufacturer after the product has been out of service for a period of time. Those remedies, however, are expressly limited to cars. The Tanner Act does not cover boats or any form of personal property that is not a car.
The remainder of the Song-Beverly Act enforces manufacturer’s warranties on all consumer goods sold in California. But it still has one glaring problem for the buyer of a new boat: It fails to consider that a boat is a complicated machine, with a long list of complex systems that may be subject to failure. A manufacturer will be in compliance with the Song-Beverly Act if it repairs each of those failed systems within a “reasonable time,” notwithstanding that it may have deprived the owner of the use of the boat for many months of accumulated down time during the repairs. In our reader’s case, none of this matters because he did not purchase his boat in California.
In this case, the boat was purchased through an “offshore delivery.” Many of our readers are familiar with this procedure in the context of a boat purchase transaction. It calls for a boat to be delivered to the buyer more than three miles offshore from the California coast, and therefore outside of the state of California, as a strategy to avoid California sales or use tax. Our reader apparently complied with this requirement (together with a long list of other tax-related requirements) and, as such, avoided the assessment of sales tax on his boat purchase. That’s great for him, but a side-effect of this strategy is that the most purchases that are not completed in California are not subject to California law. Our reader is therefore not protected by the California Song-Beverly Act, or by any other California law.
Even without the protections offered under California law, our reader is protected by the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. This may help him somewhat, but unfortunately, state law in this case would have been more helpful than federal law. Among other differences, a manufacturer under the federal Magnuson-Moss Act is not required to maintain a local repair facility, double civil penalties cannot be imposed against the manufacturer, and the manufacturer may not
be compelled to repurchase the vessel.
Our reader indicated that he will consider litigation if he is not satisfied with the warranty service provided by the manufacturer. I’m afraid I don’t really have good news for him on this issue either. He would like to sue to unwind the purchase, or to at least recover for his loss of use of the boat. He will face an uphill climb for either of those remedies.
A lawsuit to unwind a transaction is known as a claim for “rescission.” The goal of a rescission claim is to return the parties to their respective positions prior to the transaction. This is possible in the context of a boat purchase only where a short time has passed and the boat is still in “showroom” condition, with very little use. Our reader indicated that he has
owned and used the boat for over a year. He will not be able to return the boat to the manufacturer in the condition that it was in before the purchase, and rescission is therefore not an option.
And finally, he wants to be reimbursed for his loss of use of the boat. We can’t help him there either! The U.S. Supreme Court held, in a case called The Conqueror, that loss of use damages are never recoverable by the owner of a pleasure vessel. The Court ruled that the mere inconvenience of not being able to use one’s yacht is not compensable. That case was heard in 1897, but it is still good law a century later.
Warranty disputes can be complicated, in part because of the different laws that may be involved. Contact a mar-
itime attorney with experience in warranty disputes if you find yourself in our reader’s shoes.

Sirius Signal has created an app that kicked safety up a notch like no other. Afloat Plan Home is the float plan smartphone app developed to keep all water sport recreators afloat from departure to arrival by connecting them to up to five emergency contacts during the course of their trip.
By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTSNext to your personal floatation device, having a float plan prepared is the next measure boaters should take to ensure their safety while on the water. Taking the time to prepare a float plan just g ot easier as Sirius Signal, a leader in marine safety innovations, announced the arrival of the smartphone app Afloat Plan Home.
A float Plan Home hit app stores on May 20 after Sirius Signal CEO Anthony Covelli began working on it in 2018. It is an efficiently organized and easy-to-use app that lets emergency contacts of the boater know when and where the boater’s destination is mapped out.
“Float plans are always done before you get underway,” said Covelli. “A water sport recreator is anybody who does anything on the water…and should use Afloat Plan Home. Afloat is a double entendre. Everything you do on the water a s a recreator, you start by staying afloat, and the goal is that you return staying afloat.”
After downloading the app, Afloat Plan Home prompts the user to input their personal and vessel information, including the boat’s name, color, length, make, and model, to provide a detailed description of the vessel’s appearance.
The app also provides a checklist for boaters to complete to ensure they have everything they need before departure.
Once all the information is input, the user may create a float plan. When creating the float plan, the user will enter t heir current location, destination, number of people on board, and the date and t ime they’re expected to arrive. Once this float plan is completed, the application will send your float plan as a link which will go out in a text message to up to five desired emergency contacts.
For example, I would enter that I’m leaving from Dana Point Harbor at 8 a.m. and intend to dock at Shelter Island in San Diego by 7 p.m. Once docked at my final destination, I would open the app and check that my trip has ended. This will notify my emergency contacts that I have arrived, and my float plan has concluded. If an emergency occurs, and I never dock, the app will send out emergency notifications that I never ended my trip. The app will send the contacts two automated phone calls instructing them on what’s happening and what to do next; a voicemail is automatically left, and text messages.
A float Plan Home is not just for those
on a boat— watercraft users of all types, including kayaks, jet skis, and paddleboards—can send their description and starting point in a text and pick the start time and expected return time. As explained, if the trip is not ended, the provided contacts will be reached with the user’s last known location and a link to a map showing their area of operation.
A nother helpful app feature is the unique offline “first aid kit.” This interactive feature plays a looped voice recording of a first-aid treatment that guides t he user through step-by-step procedures instructing how to handle the most common on-water emergencies.
This app isn’t just for the captain or
owner of the vessel. All members onboard can download Afloat Plan Home, even as a guest or a crew member, to ensure that their emergency contacts know t heir float plan. Those boarding as guests can adjust their float plan to the different trips they are partaking in and the v arious vessels they will board, including cruises, fishing charters, or even t hose kayaking or paddleboarding for the afternoon.
The app is available in the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. For more information, please visit https:// siriussignal.com/sirius-signal-marinesafety-app-rebranded-as-afloat-planhome/.

Although the laws and regulations regarding marijuana use have changed on land, boaters are reminded that the laws still apply while on seascape. Marijuana is classified as a Schedule I narcotic categorizing it with drugs like heroin and ecstasy and while it is legal in 23 states, the USCG does not recognize it as an exemption. Anyone in possession of marijuana on the water, from credentialed mariners to recreational boaters, will face consequences as the U.S. Coast Guard enforces federal law.
Coast Guard regulations require mariners to be drug tested throughout employment and require certain employers to conduct periodic random tests. Depending on the license and vessel, a mariner or crewmember is likely subject to testing pre-employment, after an incident on the water, during a license

renewal period, at a periodic scheduled time, at an unscheduled random time, or when an employer has reasonable cause to believe that an employee is using drugs. This means the person is subject to testing virtually any time. As a reminder, marijuana can remain detectable in a person urine for weeks, so even use of it while not working can risk a person’s employment status. Detection of marijuana on a drug test is grounds to deny your Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) application or revoke current credentials.
As for recreational boaters, if you are out on the water even in waters of a state that has legalized marijuana, and you are under the influence, you run the risk of being convicted of a federal crime for the possession or use of marijuana. Additionally, cruise passengers should be aware that even beyond the security screenings they will go through, additional bag and room inspections are possible during the cruise. If found in violation of this law, passengers can face fines, removal from the vessel, travel fees to return home, and potentially criminal or civil legal action.
SAN DIEGO — The Log has some very exciting news to share. On June 12, Maritime P ublishing of San Diego announced the acquisition of the L og Newspaper from Newport Beach-based Duncan McIntosh Co. Inc.
The Log has been a boating and fishing essential since 1971 and is very excited to join the Maritime Publishing team.
Maritime Publishing is a publisher of trade publications for the marine industry founded in 2020 by CEO Dave A brams and is a division of the Maritime Institute—the largest privately held maritime training provider in the United States.
Abrams has had a love for boating since dating back to childhood memories of nautical-themed bedrooms. In c ollege, he joined the Navy ROTC and was commissioned as an officer in the Navy upon graduation. Abrams served on active duty for six years on multiple ships. After leaving the Navy, Abrams took his love for the sea and applied it to the business world. As of 2018, Abrams had acquired two San Diego companies— Training Resources Limited and Maritime Institute and eventually merged them and eventually reverted the name to Maritime Institute after a cquiring two more schools in Virginia and Hawaii.
“During COVID, I had the opportunity to acquire two different publishing companies that were struggling, both of which had publications in the maritime space,” said Abrams in an email from June 14. “I figured that training and publishing fit well together – both involved sharing of knowledge… And it’s great to have new content all the time to be able to share in the classroom. My companies are all about the mariner – keeping them trained, informed, and employed. The publications serve those last two missions really well.”
Under the Maritime Publishing umbrella are four other nautical industry-motivated news publications, including Pr ofessional Mariner, O cean Navigator, Pacific Maritime , and Fi shermen’s News Since 1993 , Professional Mariner magazine has been found in the hands of owners and operators of commercial maritime vessels, providing content for professionals who work in the maritime industry both onboard and off.
O cean Navigator c an be found onboard with the power and sailing voyagers who are always looking to learn more about their vessels, gear, and techniques while on their adventures.
S ince 1983, Pacific Maritime Magazine h as provided editorials for and about West Coast commercial vessels and terminal operators. This content is for readers who stay updated with ocean carriers, shippers, terminal operators,
port authorities, and much more.
L astly, the 78-year-old F ishermen’s News i s the oldest commercial fishing publication on the Pacific Coast. This publication covers the commercial fishing industry from Alaska to California a nd Hawaii, always sharing the most upto-date news from legislative actions to the finer details that commercial fishermen need to know.
“ The Log is an iconic publication,” said Abrams. “I’ve been reading almost every issue since 1990, and I look forward to [acquiring] it. As a boater, it keeps me apprised of everything going on in the So Cal maritime community and provides a great resource for finding service providers, slips, equipment, etc. The Slips Guide and Harbor Guide are always on the boat! I’m really proud to be at the helm of this fine newspaper! Cast off all lines; we’re getting underway!”
Maritime Publishing’s acquisition of the Log is a match made in heaven, and all team members are excited to uphold the commitment to adequately providing accurate information to our readers. Thank you to all the new and old readers. We welcome you on our new voyage!
A few years ago, BoatU.S. received a surprising letter. The writer described a Memorial Day weekend getaway on a Florida lake with five friends. The group all went out on the boat, drank some beer, and had some snacks before visiting a bar that evening where they had some more drinks. When they left the bar, it was dark and they were all singing and laughing as the boat zoomed back across the lake. The next thing the letter writer remembered was waking up in a hospital, his mouth wired shut, having been unconscious for days. One of the friends from the boat visited him in the hospital that day and told him that, on the way back, they had struck an unlit dock. One of the passengers, she said, had broken his back, crippling him. Another had a serious brain injury. Sadly, another passenger died of his injuries. The letter writer was the owner and operator of the boat that night and was charged with boating under the influence (BUI) as well as manslaughter.
BoatU.S. has long warned of the dangers of drinking and boating, and the letter really got our attention after we realized it came from the Florida State Prison where the writer had been sentenced to several years, as well as many more years of probation. “Who would have thought going boating and having some drinks would have led to this?” he wrote. “We were on a boat, not in a car, no one had to drive, and there was almost no one else on the lake that night. But I will have this grief, sorrow, and profound regrets the rest of my life.”
This tragic story, unfortunately, is too common. According to the latest U.S. Coast Guard statistics, alcohol use is the leading known contributing factor in fatal boating accidents. Where the primary cause was known, it was listed as
the leading factor in 19 percent of deaths. And alcohol use ranks as one of the top
five primary contributing factors in acci-
Drunk driving in a boat is just as illegal – and can be even more hazardous — than drunk driving in a car

dents. Because most minor accidents aren’t reported to the Coast Guard, it’s hard to say how many dock bruises, falls, and aggressive boating incidents are related to alcohol, but it’s also likely to be in the top five.
Most people know that alcohol affects judgment, vision, balance, and coordination, which greatly increases the likelihood of accidents. The Coast Guard says that in alcohol-related fatalities, more than half the victims capsized their boats or went overboard. But what you might not know is that a boater is even more likely to become impaired than a driver of a car.
Stressors, such as exposure to noise, vibration, sun, glare, wind, and the motion of the water affect our skills when we drive a boat. Research shows that hours of exposure to these stressors produce a kind of a fatigue, or “boater’s hypnosis,” which slows reaction time almost as much as if you were legally drunk. Adding alcohol intensifies the effects, and each drink multiplies your accident risk.
Drinking alcohol also deteriorates cognitive abilities and judgment, which makes it harder to process information, assess situations, and make good choices. Balance and coordination are impaired, and reaction time increased. Alcohol also causes decreased peripheral and night vision as well as depth perception and makes it harder to distinguish colors, particularly the all-important red and green of boat navigation lights and aids to navigation. An extra risk factor: Most boaters don’t have the benefit of operating a boat every day as they do with the family car and are much less experienced driving a boat and less able to react appropriately and quickly to a potential accident.
Inebriated passengers at risk, too
Designated drivers are a great idea for cars but not so much for boats. Unlike a car, where you can fasten passengers’ seatbelts securely and drive them home, passengers on a boat, while you’re at the helm, are often free to roam about and even have more drinks. BoatU.S./
GEICO Marine Insurance claims files have numerous instances of passengers who were injured when they fell onboard, were injured, or even drowned after falling overboard after drinking. Every passenger who is drinking is a significant safety issue, and a sober skipper may not be able to keep a sharp eye on inebriated passengers while driving the boat.
Now that you know why alcohol and boating are dangerous to you and your passengers, you should also know the consequences of BUI. The Coast Guard and every state have laws that make it illegal to boat while you’re impaired, and penalties continue to increase. Most states –Michigan being one of the newest – have standards for intoxication that match the state’s highway laws for operating a motor vehicle, which is typically a blood alcohol
concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or greater. Penalties can and do include large fines, suspension or revocation of boat operator privileges, and jail terms. Many states also attach BUIs to your driving record. In some states such as California, a BUI arrest can be made on any vessel, powered or not, and even for people on water skis and wakeboards. The blunt truth: If you injure or kill someone while intoxicated, you could lose your boat, your job, your home, and even go to prison.
Alcohol isn’t the only substance that contributes to BUI arrests. Now that cannabis is legal in several states, the federal government still considers it a Schedule I drug. Visit BoatUS.com/Cannabis-and-Boating to learn more.
It’s pretty simple –don’t drink while you’re boating, especially if you’re the operator. If you choose to drink as part of your outing, plan your afterparty ashore. If you dock somewhere for lunch or dinner and drink alcohol with your meal, wait before operating your boat. Figure at least an hour per drink or more depending on what you eat. If there’s any question about your intoxication level, have a knowledgeable crewmember take the helm or stay put until you’re sober. The last thing we want is another letter from someone who made a very bad choice.
Myth: Beer is less intoxicating than wine or distilled liquor.
Fact: One 12-ounce beer contains the same amount of alcohol as 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor.
Myth: A cold shower, coffee, physical activity, or fresh air will sober you up.
Fact: Cold showers and coffee will only produce a clean, wide-awake drunk. Only your liver can detoxify alcohol and only time can sober you up.
Myth: A shot of brandy or whiskey will warm you up.
Fact: In moderate amounts, alcohol dilates the blood vessels close to the skin, giving a deceptive “glow” of warmth. In fact, the dilated blood vessels reduce your body’s ability to guard against heat loss. — C.F.
VENTURA —On May 30, the National Park announced the reopening of Santa Barbara Island for public visitation. San Miguel Island remains closed through the summer, awaiting repairs to Nidever Canyon trail. Access to Cuyler Harbor at San Miguel Island remains open to the public.
Starting in 2015, Santa Barbara Island’s landing dock was severely damaged by winter storms.
After the storms subsided, park staff worked diligently to repair he infrastructure and make it safe for landing. Following much work to restore the landing, further damage occurred from a series of harsh winter storms.
“While the lower landing is still undergoing repairs, access to Santa Barbara Island is available to boaters via skiff to the rocks near the lower landing,” said
Jasmine Reinhardt, spokesperson for the park. “Campers and day visitors can once again enjoy the smallest of the Channel Islands.”
Island Packers, the National Park’s authorized ferryboat transportation service, reminds boaters that landing at the island is restricted to the rocky ledge adjacent to the dock area. In order to ensure a safe landing, boaters need to carefully assess the weather conditions, particularly the tide and swell heights, prior to landing in this area.
San Miguel Island remains closed due to a heavy rainstorm that greatly deterio-
rated trail conditions at Nidever Canyon, the route to reach the campground, visitor center, and other trails. Work is slated to begin over the summer. The public can access Cuyler Harbor at San Miguel Island and enjoy the beautiful crystal sand beaches.
Until these needed repairs are complete, there will be no ferryboat transportation to either of these islands.
For updates on the status of repairs on these islands, check the Channel Islands National Park website: www.nps. gov/chis. This publication is available at: www.nps.gov/chis/learn/news/news-
releases.htm.

For those who have never dedicated a day on the water to feel your bobber wiggle and then suddenly disappear under the water, now is your chance.
If fishing is the new adventure you’re ready to try your hand at, a great opportunity is coming. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife offers two free fishing days a year, and the first one is July 1. These days, you can fish without a sport fishing license.
Free Fishing Days bring the opportunity for a great, low-cost way to try your hand at fishing. Some CDFW Regions offer a Fishing in the City program where you can go fishing in the middle of major metropolitan areas, perhaps just a few blocks from your home. Fishing in the City and Free Fishing Day clinics educate beginner anglers about fishing ethics, habits, practical methods for catching fish, and fishing tackle. It›s also an opportunity to learn how to clean and prepare your catch so you can enjoy it for dinner that night.
While all fishing regulations, such as bag and size limits, gear restrictions, report card requirements, fishing hours, and stream closures, remain in effect, these are two days of the year when anyone can fish without purchasing a fishing license.
On Free Fishing Days, every angler must have the appropriate report card if they are fishing for:
• steelhead
• sturgeon
• or salmon in the Smith and Klamath-Trinity River Systems.
The next Free Fishing Day after July 1 is Sept. 2. For more information, please visit https://wildlife. ca.gov/Licensing/Fishing/Free-Fishing-Days.

SAN DIEGO — South Coast Yachts, San Diego, and Newport Beach’s Beneteau Dealers will host the 20th Annual Beneteau Cup 2023 from Sept. 15-17.
T he event costs $250 per boat, which includes a regattas party with live music and dinner for all crew members on Sept. 16. This is a fun and friendly race that is held to professional standards by the San Diego Yacht Club race committee.
“ The unique part of this regatta is that it not only welcomes seasoned and experienced racers, but we have two classes of c ruising sailboats that invite new sailors to learn about sailing regattas,” said President and Owner of South Coast Yachts, Barrett Canfield. “We have a class session on Friday night that discusses racing rules and strategies, Sail trim, and we have coaches to place on the new boats to guide them around the course. This really plants the racing seed in the hearts and minds of these new sailors, tapping into their competitive spirit.”
This event requires no qualification other than having a Beneteau or the desire to crew on a Beneteau. It is a Beneteau America-sponsored event hosted by South Coast Yachts, the authorized dealer in San Diego, and is open to all Beneteaus of any size.
The event will begin with racing instruction on the evening of Sept. 15. A skippers meeting will take place at 9 a.m. on Saturday, leading to a 12 p.m. start for “Windward-Leeward” buoy racing offshore near the Hotel Del Coronado or
“Coronado Roads.” Crews will return for the regatta party at SDYC that evening.
The “Tour of the Bay” race will occur on Sept. 17. This is a random leg racecourse throughout the bay. The event a lso offers a windward-leeward course of the first 36.7 and 40.7 One Design class-
Charlie Enright and his 11th Hour Racing Team sailed 586.36 nautical miles in a 24-hour time period aboard their IMOCA 60 Mālama. The team was racing in the depths of the Southern Ocean, we st of Australia’s Cape Leeuwin, heading to Itajaí, Brazil, on The Ocean Race’s mammoth 12,750-nautical-mile Leg Three.
T he team temporarily held the unofficial world record for a crewed IMOCA 60 but lost the record 24 hours later to skipper Kevin Escoffier and his HOLCIM-PRB t eam (now 595.26 nautical miles).
However, the difference between these two monohulls is where the story is at— impact quantification. It affects more than speed across nautical miles; it can change sailing’s future.
This goal began with the design and building process of the Māl ama. T he team worked with the global-sustainability firm, Anthesis Group, to enhance t he MarineShift360 life-cycle a ssessment tool. M arineShift360 is explicitly designed for the marine industry and can model carbon footprints, water-con-
es that day. Participants will return for a f un awards ceremony at SDYC with unique trophies and gifts for the winners and crew when the racing has been completed.
Mt. Gay Rum, SDYC, South Coast Yachts, Quantum Sails, Novamar Insurance, and Beneteau America sponsor the event.
“We’ve built this regatta into the largest Beneteau Cup in the world,” said Canfield. “The members and staff at SDYC c onsider it the most fun regatta of the year.”
To sign up, visit the SDYC website at w ww.sdyc.org. Those interested in joining the regatta or have questions can contact i nfo@scyachts.com. There are limited guest slips for boats from outside San Diego as boats from as far north as Santa Barbara and San Francisco to participate in the event.
“Our mission is to build a high-performance ocean racing team, with sustainability at the core of all team operations, inspiring positive action among s ailing and coastal communities, and global sports fans to create long-lasting change for ocean health,” says the Team’s website.”

ALEXANDRIA, VA. — A national campaign presented by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF) has launched a limited-edition fishing line created in partnership with Berkley® called Fearless Fishing Line. The line was inspired by research conducted by Take Me Fishing that showed women who fish are happier and healthier than those who do not. In addition, RBFF recently reported that female anglers are also a contributing factor to the revenue increases in the industry.
In addition to highlighting the benefits of fishing and boating, Fearless Fishing Line was created to encourage more women to get out on the water.
“The research is clear. Fishing and boating can have significant positive impacts on women,” said Rachel Piacenza, Senior Director of Marketing at RBFF, in a news release. “We created this line as a physical reminder of those benefits, and we hope it inspires more women to give fishing a try.”
National Fishing and Boating Week is an annual nationwide celebration of fishing and boating from June 3-11. The week-long celebration features free fishing days throughout the United States. It
is designed to increase access to fishing and boating and draft the next generation of anglers and boaters.
Take Me Fishing created Fearless Fishing Line in partnership with Berkley, a Pure Fishing brand known for its scientific approach to product development. Berkley rigorously tests its baits and lines both in the lab and on the water. This scientific foundation is why Berkley products practically have to fish swimming to angler’s bait.
“When RBFF and Take Me Fishing™ approached us with the opportunity to partner on Fearless Fishing Line, we knew it was something we wanted to tackle,” said Kimberly Hoffman, Director of Marketing and Communications for Pure Fishing, in the news release. “Creating this line and the campaign around it is another important step toward increasing women’s participation in fishing and creating a more diverse, inclusive angling environment.”
“The Dana Pride had 3/4 day duty today and Capt Tommy found some quality reds and bocaccio for their anglers. 3/4 day is FULL tomorrow but we have room on our AM 1/2 day at 6:30 AND twilight departing at 5:30pm! #danawharf @ danapointharbor”
Fearless Fishing Line is an extension of Take Me Fishing’s Find Your Best Self on the Water campaign, which launched on May 1. The campaign highlights research that shows fishing and boating can positively impact women. It also informs the public of the benefits of fishing and boating, inspiring more women to try the activities.

SAN DIEGO — A comprehensive article by Jordan B. Darling in the July 22 – Aug. 4, 2022, issue of the L og discussed the challenges associated with reducing the copper loading in the water column of boat basins with a heavy concentration of recreational vessels. Passive leaching of the antifoulant, cuprous oxide (Cu20), from boat bottoms is the problem. It has been over a 20-year effort, with only partial success. The initial copper loading measurement (total maximum daily l oad, or TMDL) was 8.3 ug/liter and has only been reduced to 6.1 ug/liter in recent years. Not much progress has been achieved since. The required goal is 3.1 ug/liter TMDL.
BACKGROUND: Tributyltin was the FIRST-GENERATION bottom paint back in the 1970-80s until it was outlawed as too toxic. Copper bottom paint f ollowed as the SECOND-GENERATION and has done an excellent job of warding off hard marine growth on boat bottoms over the ensuing years by leaching (Cu2O) as a pesticide. However, the S tate of California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) and EPA have found it harmful to juvenile marine organisms’ growth.
Microbes, which serve as the base of the marine food chain, form a biofilm on a clean boat bottom, and algae follows to feed on them. Hard marine growth, such as barnacles and mussels, then attach to feed on the algae. This hard marine growth fouling affects a boat’s speed and fuel efficiency as it proceeds through the water. The obvious solution is to stop the biofilm from forming.
RECENT HISTORY: S everal years ago, an ingredient was developed under a DoD contract award to fight Anthrax.
It involves the generation of an “ion field,” which in turn forms a low-voltage shield on the surface. This low voltage shield wards off A nthrax spores, or microbes, thus disrupting further disease development.
The same “ion field” concept is now available in a new antifoulant bottom paint for use by both recreational and commercial vessels. The ingredient involved, once a gain, is cuprous oxide. However, it has been specially treated to combine with a ceramic epoxy (polymer) coating that encapsulates it within a ceramic shell. This ceramic shell prevents it from leaching, as determined by a certified marine testing laboratory. The result is a strong “ion field/low voltage shield” that repels marine microbes. The “ion field” is formed by the unbalanced cuprous oxide molecules called ions.
C hevron became aware of this special “ingredient” and asked a Texas company, CeRam-Kote Coatings, Inc., to formulate it in their ceramic polymer coating to protect underwater fittings on their offshore oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. It worked!
A nd so, a THIRD-GENERATION bottom paint was developed. It’s another c ase of a breakthrough in one industry becoming useful in another.
CURRENT STATUS/SOLUTION: This
new bottom paint, called CeRam-Kote AF Marine (CK-AF), is now available through local boatyards and has been approved by EPA. It offers several advantages over copper bottom paint besides not leaching. The current leach rate accepted by CDPR is 9.5 ug/cm2/day. CK-AF was tested at 0.0 ug/cm2/day. It will last 3-4 times as long, providing a hard ceramic surface that enhances speed through t he water. CK-AF is also easier to clean and provides longer protection between cleanings.
A s discussed above, hard marine growth, such as barnacles and mussels, is driven off by the interruption of the marine food chain. The primary source of any fouling is soft marine growth such as grass, which is pushed off by water motion when underway or by routine bottom cleaning with a galley sink sponge.
In one test, a steel plate, one half coated with CK-AF and the other half uncoated, was left in the water of San Diego Bay for 1.5 years. It was covered with seaweed when it was finally pulled out. The coated half had the seaweed pushed off with a plastic putty knife, exposing the original coated surface with zero hard marine growth. The other uncoated side had to be cleared using a hammer and chisel. Another advantage CK-AF offers is that it can be applied over an old hard copper bottom paint without the cost of removing the remnants of that old bottom paint. To achieve optimal surface smoothness, CK-AF should be spray applied using an HVLP spray gun.
Talk to your boatyard the next time your bottom paint needs replacement. Bill Kraus can be contacted at bill.kraus@ sbcglobal.net for further information.
• Bluefin tuna continue to be in the spotlight for Southern California saltwater anglers with some days of good fishing on bluefin to 200plus pounds being found over the past weekend for boats fishing 1 to 3 miles inside of the eastern part of San Clemente Island. In addition to bluefin tuna, there have also been some yellowtail, white seabass, calico bass, sand bass, bonito, halibut and assorted bottom fish biting to provide anglers with a variety of species to target in planning a day (or night) of fishing.
• Prior to the past weekend there were good numbers of what were mostly 20 to 100 pound bluefin biting in Mexican waters for boats fishing a large area ranging from the Upper Finger Bank on down to the waters to the west of Punta Colnett but the bite in that sector dropped off significantly for most boats that were fishing the area over the weekend. The zone that did produce well over the weekend was from 1 to 3 miles inside of the eastern part of San Clemente Island where there were some good bites on large bluefin that were for the
most part up in the 80 to 200 pound range.
• The bluefin inside of San Clemente Island have been biting both day and night with the best fishing being reported between 6:00 PM and 2:00 AM. Most of the bluefin are being located by finding spots of breezing fish, sonar marks or meter marks. The bluefin were reported to be biting well on knife jigs during the daylight evening and the nighttime hours and were also biting on slow trolled California Flyers during daylight hours in areas where there were spots of breezing bluefin being seen.
• Anglers are hoping the good numbers of bluefin that had been biting off the Mexican coast as talked about above will pop up again sometime soon. Specific areas where there were bluefin biting before the fish went into hiding over the past weekend were the Upper Finger Bank, the 475 Knuckle, the area to the west of Todos Santos Island, the 415 Knuckle, the Peanut Bank and the area to the west and the northwest of Punta Colnett.
• With the bluefin bite in Mexican
waters slowing down over the past few days, some boats that might otherwise be tuna fishing offshore started fishing at Los Coronado Islands and what they found was good mixed bag fishing for barracuda, calico bass, rockfish, whitefish, sculpin and a few lingcod.
• Grande out of H&M Landing fished the Coronados on a full day trip and had 22 anglers catch 110 barracuda and 110 rockfish. Mission Belle out of Point Loma Sportfishing also fished the Coronados on a full day trip and had 25 anglers catch 10 calico bass, 17 barracuda, 12 rockfish, 3 lingcod, 1 sheephead, 33 sculpin and 125 whitefish.
• The best area for barracuda has been inside of the north end of South Island with barracuda and calico bass also biting at spots such as the Middle Grounds, the Ribbon Kelp, the South Kelp, the Lighthouse at the south end of South Island and Pukey Point. The yellowtail fishing has been slow with the last reports of yellowtail activity coming from the Middle Grounds. Sardines and surface iron work well for barracuda. Good choices for surface iron have been Tady 45 or Salas 7 X light jigs in blue and white or sardine colors.
• Looking for areas where you find your warmest and cleanest water with a downhill current flow will
help in locating some surface fishing species. The water temperature around the Coronados has been running from 61.5 to 64.5 degrees.
• The bottom fishing around the Coronados has been very good for a mix of reds, rockfish and whitefish along with a chance at a bonus lingcod.
Full story will be found online. Bob Vanian is the voice, writer, and researcher of the San Diego-based internet fish report service called 976-Bite which can be found at www.976bite. com. Vanian also provides anglers with a personal fish report service over the telephone at (619) 226-8218. He always welcomes your fish reports at that same phone number or at bob976bite@aol. com.
