Happy belated Valentine’s Day to all of you humans and marine creatures. Here are five fun facts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
1. Have a (huge!) heart
Who has the biggest heart on the planet? Whale, whale, whale — it’s no surprise that it belongs to the most enormous creature on the planet. The blue whale is the winner, with a heart weighing over 1,000 pounds. That’s almost as big as a dairy cow.
2. Quantity versus quality
The blue whale wins the biggest heart, but the octopus wins the most. Two of the octopuses’ hearts pump blood to the gills, collecting oxygen so the octopus can breathe. In contrast, the third heart circulates the oxygenated blood throughout the rest of the body.
3. Long-distance love
Do you think traveling a half hour to meet your date is tough? If so, be thankful you aren’t a leatherback turtle. These sea turtles undertake the longest migrations
between breeding and feeding areas of any sea turtle, with some averaging 3,700 miles each way. So that’s a genuine long-distance relationship.
4. Sticking together
Which fish is prone to intense romantic attachment? The anglerfish, for one. Male anglerfish are much smaller than females; their life’s goal is to find females to latch onto physically. So when a male finds a female, he bites the female and fuses his body with hers. You know what they say— love hurts. The male then provides the female with sperm to fertilize her eggs, and the female gives him nutrients.
Anglerfish have a small lure on a short stalk between their eyes that they wiggle to attract prey. While often resting on the seafloor or “walking” on modified fins, sometimes these fish swim.
5. Love songs
Dating can be tricky — even in the ocean. Humpback whales produce complex songs to attract a mate. Need inspiration for your next romantic bal-
lad? Listen to this humpback whale love song recorded by researchers from Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary.
One of the least pleasant aspects of going to sea is the possibility of getting seasick. A person’s susceptibility to seasickness varies. If you’ve ever had motion sickness when traveling by car, plane, or rollercoaster, you may be more susceptible to seasickness aboard a boat.
Seasickness results from a conflict in the inner ear, where the human balance mechanism resides, interrupted by a vessel’s erratic motion on the water. Inside the cabin of a rocking boat, for example, the inner ear detects changes in both up-anddown and side-to-side acceleration as one’s body bobs along with the ship. But, since the cabin moves with the passenger, one’s eyes register a relatively stable scene. Agitated by this perceptual incongruity, the brain responds with a cascade of stress-related hormones that can ultimately lead to nausea, vomiting, and vertigo.
Additionally, pungent odors from things like diesel fumes and fish can heighten an affected person’s symptoms. Seasickness usually occurs in the first 12 to 24 hours after “setting sail” and dissipates once the body acclimates to the ship’s motion. It’s rare
for anyone to get or stay ill beyond the first few days at sea unless the vessel encounters rough waves.
If you get seasick, take comfort knowing that recovery is only a matter of time and the survival rate is 100 percent. There is a cure! Sensible eating, good hydration, and patience are usually required to get past seasickness.
Here are a few tips to help ease the symptoms of seasickness:
• Maintain your fluid intake. Seasickness and related medications cause dehydration and headaches. Drink water and low-acidity juices like apple, carrot, or clear soup, and avoid milk and coffee.
• Keep moving. Most people find that being busy keeps their minds off their discomfort.
• Stay on deck, even if it’s raining, because the fresh air is often enough to speed recovery. The closed-in quar-
ters below the deck magnify the vessel’s motion and worsens symptoms.
• Carry a plastic bag. This simple approach allows for peace of mind by eliminating some of the panics of getting seasick. If you have to vomit over the side of the boat, check the direction of the wind and waves. Staying leeward (the side of the ship sheltered from the wind) will ensure an unpleasant experience doesn’t worsen.
• Consider an over-the-counter medication to prevent or minimize motion sickness. A dose is usually recommended about an hour before setting sail, as needed at sea. However, these medications tend to dehydrate, so drink plenty of water.
And lastly, don’t be embarrassed about getting seasick. Many people do—including seasoned travelers, professional anglers, sailors, and marine scientists.

LAGUNA BEACH —Laguna Beach is set to approve an ordinance prohibiting the sale or release of all balloons on city property, like parks and beaches. The balloon ban is one of the most aggressive in the state, and Laguna Beach would be the first city in Orange County to ban all balloons if it passes. Supporters of the ordinance, such as the Surfrider Foundation South OC chapter, said their goal is to protect the coastline and sea life.
Rich German spends much of his time paddleboarding out in Laguna Beach. German founded Project O, a nonprofit focused on protecting the ocean, and has been documenting the impact balloons have on the environment. German said that two years ago, he collected 31 Valentine’s Day balloons in one day.
In addition, Flowers by the Sea, a floral shop in Laguna Beach, stopped selling latex helium balloons because of their environmental impact.
Owner Ginna Gossett said they now use Mylar balloons as part of some decorations, but she supports banning the sale of balloons.
“We have the power to decide to use balloons or not in our decorations, so my focus on my business is flowers and plants more than balloons,” said Gossett in an interview with ABC7.
The Laguna Beach City Council is expected to approve the ordinance during their meeting on Feb. 21. Supporters hope other coastal cities follow suit.
The ban would take effect on Jan. 1, 2024, and those who don’t follow the ban could face warnings or fines of up to $500.
LONG BEACH — Long Beach— The City of Long Beach announced on Feb. 21 that it has begun preparation work for installing anticipated new boilers and heat exchangers onboard the RMS Queen Mary. The multi-phase project began in late January with demolishing the existing heat exchangers, piping, and electrical pneumatics as part of the last round of critical repairs required to reopen the Queen Mary’s hotel, restaurants, bars, and other onboard amenities this spring.
“The amount of critical work put into our icon, the Queen Mary, over the last year has been incredible to watch,” said Mayor Rex Richardson in a press release. “We are almost there for our targeted reopening later this spring. I look forward to welcoming more visitors back onboard this historic landmark soon.”
Demolition work is underway for the ship’s existing, out-of-commission boilers and heat exchangers. It is expected to be completed over the next few weeks, at which point installation of
the new piping and mechanical equipment that support the new boilers and heat exchangers will occur. The new boilers and heat exchangers can then be installed. Once installation of the new boilers and heat exchangers is complete, which will supply hot water for cooking, cleaning, sanitizing, and other hospitality amenities, Evolution Hospitality staff can begin preparations to reopen additional elements of the Queen Mary, such as the hotel, restaurants, bars, and shops onboard.
The remainder of the critical repairs approaching completion includes the installation of an emergency generator, which powers vital components of the ship in the event of an emergency, and the completion of the bilge pump system designed to protect the ship in case of an emergency. The generator and bilge pump system installation is expected to be completed by early spring.
“We’ve worked so hard to preserve and uphold this community treasure and we are so excited to share our progress with our community soon,” said First District Councilwoman Mary Zendejas in the press release.
Other projects that are taking place concurrently and are anticipated to be complete prior to a broader reopening include upgrades to the ship’s main boarding entrance – such as repairs to the Wharf and Promenade Deck gangways; elevator repair and modernization; and painting, lighting, and other enhancements to the entire Wharf area – as well as onboard restroom repairs, flooring replacements and ceiling paint and tile repair in the Promenade Deck’s Main Hall; HVAC repair and floor and window repairs in the Observation Bar; parking lot repairs; and kitchen and restaurant improvements, among others.
WASHINGTON, DC — On Feb. 23, the New Civil Liberties Association (NCLA) released a press release announcing a landmark win for charter boat fishermen across the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has set aside a controversial Final Rule issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which required 24-hour GPS tracking of recreational charter boat fishing vessels and reporting of confidential economic data. As Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod wrote, “in promulgating this regulation, the Government committed multiple independent Administrative Procedure Act violations, and very likely violated the Fourth Amendment.” The ruling is significant for many reasons, including that the Government tried to claim that charter boat fishing is a “closely-regulated industry” to which the Fourth Amendment does not apply.

I have a question concerning the physical damage insurance coverage on my boat. The policy defines the phrase “caused by” quite broadly, stating that it means “any loss that is contributed to, made worse by, or in any way results from particular peril in question. The policy then goes on to exclude coverage for “any loss caused by wear and tear, gradual deterioration, galvanic corrosion, lack of maintenance, fiberglass osmosis, blistering or marine life.” I interpret this to mean where a sinking or other catastrophic loss is “caused by” the failure of a small part due to one of the listed exclusions, the entire claim will be denied. I also read somewhere that most policies will cover the resulting damage from the failure of a small part, even if the part itself is not covered. Can you clear this up for me?

ANSWER: First, I’ll tip my hat to our reader for taking the time to read his insurance policy. A marine insurance policy may take a while to read from cover to cover, but it’s important for boat owners to have a thorough understanding of what may be covered or excluded under their policy. With that in mind, let’s answer our reader’s question with an overview of some of the more obscure provisions of a marine insurance policy.
Marine insurance policies for recreational boats are usually “all risk” policies, meaning that the policy covers all losses unless the cause of the loss is specifically listed in the policy as being excluded from coverage. This differs from the “named risk” policies which are used for many commercial boats, and which cover only the risks specifically listed in the policy. The good news in the recreational boating world is that the policies are generally written in plain English without a lot of “legalese,” and the exclusions from coverage are usually clearly defined and listed separately in the policy documents.
Our reader’s question concerns one of those exclusions. He is concerned that the failure of a small component part may lead to a catastrophic loss of the boat, which would not be covered by insurance if the component part failed due to an excluded cause, such as corrosion. His interpretation of the policy is correct.
As noted above, recreational marine insurance policies are generally written in plain English and as such they are relatively easy to read. His policy defines the phrase “caused by,” and then lists a collection of

potential events or actions for which a loss would not be covered by the insurance. If a boat sinks due to a corroded or wornout part, the entire claim would probably be denied.
Our reader may be thinking of a loss caused by “latent defect” coverage in the policy. A latent defect is an unknown defect that is not discoverable by a reasonable and prudent inspection. Most yacht insurance policies exclude latent defects, but - as suggested by our reader - they cover damage that results from a latent defect. The policy language will typically exclude the cost of replacing or repairing any item having a latent defect that causes damage to the yacht, but any damage resulting from the failure of that part would be covered. For example, if a boat ran aground due to a metallurgical failure in the structure of the rudder, the failure of the rudder may be found to be a latent defect. Under those circumstances, the replacement of the rudder would not be covered, but the damage to the rest of the boat from the grounding would be covered.
The real problem with a latent defect is in defining this term, as it is remarkably broad in scope. The defect must be undiscoverable under an inspection that a reasonable and prudent person or entity would undertake to evaluate the seaworthiness of the boat. And, a latent defect is usually defined to mean a hidden defect that existed from the time of manufacture.
Complicating things even further, most marine insurance policies expressly exclude coverage for “manufacturing defects.” And, unlike latent defect coverage, t he exclusion for manufacturing defects will not include the extended language used to cover the damage that may result from the defect.
A manufacturing defect is defined in

of Commerce. The Final Rule required each charter boat to be “equipped with NMFS-approved hardware and software with a minimum capability of archiving GPS locations.”
The Rule would have required charter boats to install onboard an NMFSapproved Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking device—an “anchor bracelet”—that continuously transmits the boat’s GPS location to NMFS, whether the ship is being used for a charter-fishing trip or something else. Charter boat operators “are responsible for purchasing the VMS units,” which the Final Rule estimated would cost upwards of $3000 plus a monthly service fee of $40 to $75. NCLA argued this 24-hour GPS surveillance was not only unnecessary and unduly burdensome but also that this requirement violated the Fourth Amendment by searching without probable cause or a warrant, exceeded the authority granted by the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA), and was arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
most policies as the improper, incorrect or inadequate manufacturing process of the insured yacht’s hull or machinery or any of its components. The exclusion of a manufacturing defect from the boat owner’s marine insurance policy makes sense, since the policy would otherwise be providing a warranty for the defective product, and as such, free insurance for the manufacturer.
The problem for the boat owner is that, in many cases, a hidden defect can be viewed as both a manufacturing defect, in the sense that it was due to a mistake of the manufacturer, and a latent defect, in that it was hidden and it existed from the time of manufacture. Insurance adjusters may deny coverage if it is a close call or if the cause is actually unknown, but seems like a manufacturer’s defect. The courts that have reviewed such cases have reached a wide range of decisions.
As you may conclude from this discussion, marine insurance claim processing tends to be a lot more complicated than the processing of claims for other types of insurance. So it’s important for a boat owner to be fully informed in the event of a claim. Read your policy before getting underway and again after the accident. And hire an experienced maritime attorney if you need to go to battle over a significant claim denial.

NCLA also complained that the Rule required reporting economic data that the agencies had nowhere specified in proposing the Rule for comment.
The Fifth Circuit agreed with NCLA’s analysis and held that the GPS-tracking requirement was unlawful for “several independently sufficient reasons.” These include:
• That the “unambiguous language of the Magnuson-Stevens Act does not authorize the regulation.”
• “The Government failed to respond to public comments expressing concerns of personal privacy violations stemming from GPS surveillance.”
• “The Government failed to rationally consider the associated costs and benefits.”
• The Final Rule cannot withstand APA review because there was an improper notice of the data the agency planned to collect.

VENTURA — As President of the Ventura County Commercial Fisherman’s Association (www.vccfa.org), I recently joined up with an educational group dedicated to teaching youth the sustainable practices of conservation and responsible fishing. Students of The Reel Guppy O utdoors, participated in a field trip to The White Seabass enhancement facility located in the Channel Islands Harbor.
The Reel Guppy Outdoors is an organization dedicated to providing a positive environment for youth using outdoor experiences emphasizing education, l ife-building lessons, leadership, stewardship, and team building. The White Seabass Enhancement Facility helps repopulate the White Seabass population of Southern California.
After welcoming the students, Lead Pen Operator, C.I, Harbor White Seabass Enhancement Facility, Frank Sullivan, described the responsibilities of volunteers that maintain this facility. Their responsibilities include daily feeding of the fish, cleaning the fish pens, and close monitoring and recording of observational data. The volunteer’s actions are crucial to the overall success of the program.
T he three netted fish pens hold thousands (over 8,500 currently) of juvenile white seabasses. The 6-to-10-inch white seabass swim in synchronicity.
Although the water temperature has been relatively cold, at 50 degrees F, the fish were active. The Reel Guppy Outdoor students got a chance to hand feed the fish, sprinkling fish meal pellets. Sullivan explained that he was taking notes
on the fish’ reactions. Those notes give the facility the information needed to increase or decrease the amount of food for the fish. Along with feeding, the students had a chance to brush the nets, another daily practice done by volunteers. The net brushing helps keep the nets in good condition at the same time maintaining a clean, healthy environment for the fish.
Some other points of interest were explained, such as the current was strong t his day, as evidenced by the nets pulling in a horizontal direction. The fish are s et to be released within the next two months. An invitation will be sent out via The White Seabass Enhancement Program’s outreach program. More information can be viewed on their website. Volunteers for both The Reel Guppy Outdoors and The White Seabass Enhancement Facility showed a real passion for educating future anglers on the responsible practices of sustainable fishing and conservation efforts.
I enjoyed watching the education take place. It will be the efforts of organizations such as The Reel Guppy Outdoors a nd The White Seabass Enhancement Program, which will shape the future of fishermen into abiding by regulations and contributing to the success of fish species worldwide. I was truly inspired by the efforts by the volunteers in this effort to educate our youth on conservational efforts. As an added benefit, The Reel Guppies celebrated their 1-year Anniversary with a chocolate sheet cake.

It’s gross, it stinks,
Are you planning to sail with your furry friends? Here are a few tips to make them comfortable and ensure a prepared and easy journey for both of you.
By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTS
For sailors who want to bring along their furry friends to enjoy the views, the Log has a few suggestions for getting your pets accustomed to the sailing life. Firstly, wearing life jackets on land before going on the water and bringing a generous supply of water, especially for days when it’s hot and sunny, are two valuable tips. We prefer the life vests that secure tightly around the waist and neck and those with handles on top to make it easier to retrieve your pet in an overboard situation. Also, when looking for a place ashore for your pets to use the bathroom, confirm you are on public property to avoid any trouble, and as always, keep an eye on them and don’t let them wander.
Before welcoming your dogs on board, you must ensure you have many safety features in place. However, your safety preparation should not end with flota -
tion devices. A sea fence around the entire boat perimeter adds extra security, safety, and peace of mind if your furry friend leaves your eye site. While having a well-practiced pet-overboard procedure is important, it’s even more important to do everything possible to avoid the overboard situation altogether. Some sea fences can handle an impact of up to 750 pounds, so it also protects humans and equipment from sliding overboard.
A heavy-duty harness with tethering lines is also recommended to restrict your pet’s movement under challenging situations. But, most importantly, if conditions are incredibly rough, secure them i n the main cabin in a barricaded spot to ensure their safety and to allow you to focus on safely sailing your ship.
Each country has its own unique set of requirements for pet entry. Some places require quarantine periods, and some do not allow dog entry at all. The worst scenario would be entering a country and having your dog placed in quarantine. We advise you to do heavy research before you set sail.
T here are three main requirements for dog entry by boat when entering just about any country:
1. Health certificate. This must be approved by a licensed veterinarian a nd have an official health department signature and seal.
2. International microchip
3. R abies vaccination after the microchip has been implanted.
S ome countries also require the following:
1. R abies titer
2. Flea and tick treatment
3. Heartworm treatment
4. De-worming treatment
It is required to obtain a Pet Passport in Europe and some other countries.
We also advocate for preparing for pets’ medical needs. If you’re spending multiple days on the water that will land you at a different destination than where you started, consider researching vets around the area in case anything happens before, during, or after your journey.
We recommend allowing at least four
to six weeks before departing to secure the proper permits from foreign countries or territories to bring your pet.
When in doubt, remember:
Documentation: Cruising internationally? Look into the regulations about bringing in a pet in the various countries along your route. Be sure to have a clean bill of health plus all immunizations from your pet›s current veterinarian.
Provisioning: If your pet has a particular food preference or special dietary needs, consider stocking up because finding the right food on your journey might be difficult.
Gear: While pets don›t need a lot of specialized equipment to enjoy the cruising l ife, bowls and a bed that doesn›t slide will undoubtedly be appreciated. And remember a life jacket.
First Aid:
• Know some basic pet first aid.
• Have your vet’s number on hand.
• Have a supply of any medications.
Lastly, establishing a routine for your pet while living on a boat is ideal. This doesn’t only apply to the potty routine. It also applies to how the animal eats and gets exercise. It’s okay, even appropriate, for the routine to change slightly depending on the situation.
W hile at sea, for example, the dogs get less exercise, so they do not need as many calories, so you can feed them less than you do when you are in port or at anchorage. Also, studies show that dogs don’t have a concept of time, but they do have an idea of order, so try to establish an order of routine even if the feeding or the walking doesn’t happen simultaneously every day.
The Division of Boating and Waterways has announced the introduction of Curso de California para Navegación, a new, free Spanish course for boaters to understand and comply with boating laws.
By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTSSACRAMENTO California is a cultural melting pot that has prompted t he California State Parks’ Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) to announce towards the end of January that a boating safety course will now be offered in Spanish. Like its English counterpart, the C urso de California para Navegación home study eBook is free and helps Californians comply with the mandatory boating education law that requires power boat operators to carry a California Boating Card to operate a motorized vessel on California or C alifornia-shared waterways legally. Applying for a card is simple. Boaters can start their application process by visiting CaliforniaBoaterCard.com or by calling (844) 421-8333. The card only costs $10 and lasts a lifetime.
Curso de California para Navegación is offered by California State Parks’ DBW. All other courses listed on CaliforniaBoaterCard.com are private companies that have gone through the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and state approval process. Therefore, the translation of their courses would be at each company’s discretion.
“ We are pleased to offer this free, lifesaving resource to the state’s Spanish-speaking boaters,” said DBW Deputy Director Ramona Fernandez in a press release. “California has over 600,000 reg-
istered motorized recreational vessels, and Hispanic boaters represent a sizeable number of boat owners and operators. The more people learn the rules of boating. The safer California’s waterways will be for all.”
The translation of the boating safety course is the first S panish boating safety course approved by t he NASBLA. This association reviews and a pproves recreational boating education courses that meet t he American National Standard (ANSI)/ NA SBLA Basic Boating Knowledge Standards produced by the N ational Education Standards Panel. These standards define general, entry-level knowledge a boater should possess for safe recreational boat operation. The development of these standards is a rigorous process, and ANSI ensures the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have b een met. California requires a NASBLA approval for each course to meet the boating education requirements for the California Boater Card program.
NASBLA approval is valid for three years. Each course is certified individually. After that timeframe, any necessary updates or revisions will take place during the recertification process once each course qualifies for recertification.
Both of DBW’s Spanish and English courses are free and can be read and/or downloaded online at dbw.parks.ca.gov/ BoatingSafetyCourse. New and experienced boat operators will learn the many boating safety “rules of the road,” including:
• Personal Safety: The importance of learning to swim and float and avoid-

and chandlery that welcomes Do-It-Yourselfers.
ing natural stressors.
• Safety Equipment: Life jacket laws, d ifferent types of life jackets, and how to fit them correctly.
• Navigation Rules/Aids to Navigation and Boating Law: How to navigate safely when in harbors and other busy waterways. Knowing and using the right safety equipment and proper vessel registration.
• Vessel Operation and Activities: How to safely operate, fuel, and anchor your vessel. Understand different aquatic hazards, weather conditions, and safe watersport activities.
• Personal Watercraft: How to prevent accidents and avoid creating hazards for other boaters when operating this type of vessel.
• Accident Prevention and Rescue: How to prevent accidents, rescue others, and how to call for help.
data show that states with some form of boating safety education have fewer accidents and fatalities than states without any boater education requirements. California is one of the last states to implement a mandatory boating education requirement. The law is being phased in by age. As of Jan. 1, 2023, all boaters 50 years of age or younger must carry a card. All boaters, regardless of age, will need to carry one by Jan. 1, 2025. The card is a verification that its holder has successfully taken and passed an approved boating safety education course. It is important to note there are exemptions to the law. For example, those operating a rental vessel or possessing a valid marine operator’s license issued by the U.S. Coast Guard do not need to obtain a California Boater Card. To date, DBW has issued more than 143,000 cards.

Silent-Yachts has unveiled new images of the 120 ft (36.74-meter) Silent 120 Explorer yacht. The impressive flagship solar catamaran can create enough energy to power the yacht and all its appliances onboard.
The yacht has taken the idea of adventure or explorer yachts to an entirely new level by including both a vertical takeoff and landing airplane and a personal submarine. The all-electric powered catamaran also will have trans-oceanic capabilities and virtually unlimited range.
The first Silent 120 Explorer yacht is being built and is expected to launch in 2024. The aluminum Silent 120 yacht has a vast interior volume but remains under 500 gross tons with powerful custom styling and interior design by Marco Casali.
The Silent 120 Explorer design is complete, with the first hull featuring a swimming pool on the aft deck and grassy areas for walking dogs on the side decks (oh, your yacht doesn’t have a swimming pool or grass lawn?). Her solar hardtop is designed to slide out in two sections revealing a touch-and-go helipad. The upper sun deck can be used for
The plane, an eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) named the XP4, is made by the British startup VRCO. It can hold four people, cruise at 160 knots, and fly for an hour. Large solar panels on the yacht’s roof slide out to port and starboard to open a touch-and-go landing pad for the plane.
The submarine, a Nemo from the Dutch builder U-Boat Worx, holds two people and can dive 328 feet below the surface. It has a top speed of 3 knots and can stay underwater for up to eight hours. Owners can store it on the Silent 120 Explorer either on the aft deck next to the swimming pool or in one of two tender garages.
The new Silent 120 is 120 feet long with a 45’ 4” beam. It uses a series of 40kWp solar panels to charge an 800-kWh lithium-ion battery bank. That turn powers two 340-kW electric motors, producing a top speed of 16 knots. The cat’s most efficient speed is 8 knots.
The electric power produces no emissions, virtually no noise, and requires
Silent Yachts has created a new all-electric powered silent vessel for the ultimate toy lover.Silent Yachts has also reported success in other areas of the shipyard, with 11 other catamarans over 78 feet long, seven Silent 80 yachts, and four Silent 82 yachts in Turkey.
CATALINA ISLAND — Puakea Designs
will host the all-small craft relay, Wild Buffalo Relay, within the SoCal Ocean Racing winter series from March 31April 2. The race includes all small craft divisions with relay teams of 2-4 people (depending on the craft) or select solo divisions. The race runs from Avalon, Catalina Island, CA, to the Newport Aquatic Center in Newport Beach. This is a 31-mile course.
“The Catalina Channel Crossing is historic in Outrigger Racing in one form or another,” said Jimi Spoto from Puakea Designs. “The first 6-person outriggers crossed the channel from Avalon to Newport Beach in 1959 with the Hawaiians beating the Local California team. This race is ongoing every year in September and is put on by Southern California Outrigger Racing Association. There was a “small boat” channel race that existed up to 2011, but organizers moved on.”
Puakea Designs has reintroduced this version of the “Small Boat” race and has been going since 2018, with a break from 2020-21. This will be the 5th Wild Buffalo Relay. In past years, the race has run from Two Harbors on the northwest end of Catalina Island. While that venue was naturally wild and beautiful, it could not accommodate an event of this size. Therefore, this will be the first year it has been brought back to Avalon.
This race centers on one-person outrigger canoes (Oc-1) and 2-person outrigger canoes (OC-2). Still, there are also divisions for single and double surf-ski (Surfskis are ocean-capable racing Kayaks), and there will also be a standup division. Divisions are further broken down by age category: 19-under, open, masters, sr master, golden master, men, and women.
A Short Course will take place in and around Avalon Harbor on April 1, less than five miles. April 2 is the main event starting outside Avalon Harbor and will go to the Newport Beach Harbor and through the Back Bay, finishing at the Newport Aquatic Center. The total course length is estimated at 31 miles. There will be a large motorboat with tall red flags to

minimal maintenance. It also does not take up as much room inside the yacht as a diesel or gasoline system would, opening up more interior space for things like tender garages or toy storage.
“The trend is for bigger yachts and more luxury, more comfort, more water toys, and more possibilities,” said Michael Köhler, Silent Yachts founder and CEO.
lead the pack of racers, but athletes often use their own escort boats with GPS to plot a course that will take advantage of wind and currents. In addition, there are typically 3-4 dedicated safety boats with paramedics for this race, and every relay team must have its own motorboat.
Awards will be given to the top three in most divisions and include commemorative hand-made wooden plaques. Additionally, the race is a “winter season” ender race and is considered the SoCal Championship. The weekend consists of curated activities on Catalina, such as hiking and yoga, and is seen as a community event with a big race.
“We want to congratulate paddlers on
Silent, an Austrian company, makes seven models of electric-powered catamarans in yards from 60 to 120 feet in Italy and Thailand. The interior and exterior of the new 120 Explorer were designed by Marco Casali, who has run his firm, Too Design, in Rome since 2004. Casali is recognized as one of the most active designers in the large yacht field.

training through winter and get stoked for the team paddling season in the summer,” said Spoto. “Bringing the competitors and the full support staff to Catalina allows a special experience on the island.
Entry fees for the event range from $185-$265 depending on whether you are a relay team with your own motor escort boat or going solo and may need support. Furthermore, a raffle will be held for an OC-1 canoe, and all proceeds will benefit “We Are Ocean.” The WAO mission is to improve the lives of cancer patients and survivors through ocean-based, healthy, active lifestyle camps and adventures as well as create opportunities for cancer patients and survivors to develop new passions, skills, and relationships to help navigate life post-cancer in, on, and under the ocean.

The French rose to the challenge of gusty 50 km/h wind conditions to dominate fleet racing. At the same time, Jimmy Spithill’s United States kept their San Francisco hopes alive by picking up three second-place positions and finishing second overall.
Meanwhile, the home favorites, Australia, were plagued by technical issues but still managed a respected racing record of 3-4-6 to finish third after three fleet races.
Technical issues plagued the dramatic first day, near capsizes, messy maneuvers, and even an Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team crew member falling overboard during the first fleet race.
RHODE ISLAND — US Sailing and Miami Yacht Club have agreed to co-host the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing. The 49er, Mixed 470, Men and Women’s IQ Foil, and Men’s and Women’s Formula Kite racing will be held Jan 6-13, 2024, while the ILCA 6 and ILCA 7 classes will race Feb. 17-24, 2024. The racing will be held primarily on the Atlantic Ocean, with course options on Biscayne Bay.
Tom Duggan, Principal Race Officer (PRO) for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, will serve as PRO for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing. The Notices of Race for these events will be issued by Aug. 1.
“We are honored to have the Miami sailing community and, in particular, Miami Yacht Club’s patriotism and enthusiasm for supporting America’s top sailing athletes and their journey to represent the U.S. at the Olympic Games Paris 2024,” said Paul Cayard, executive director of the US Sailing Team in a press release. “The U.S. Olympic Team Trials are a competition which will test boat speed, focus, mental strength, the ability to win races, and the ability to sail consistently over a series of races, all of which are required to succeed at the Olympic Games.”
The athlete selection procedures for the 2024 Olympic Games were drafted by US Sailing’s International Selection Committee, which includes nine U.S. Olympians and is chaired by Olympic silver and bronze medalist, JJ Fetter. The selection procedures were approved by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee and initially published in July 2022, with subsequent amendments to reflect this 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials announcement.
Late selection for the Women’s Skiff (49er FX) will be the combined results of the 2024 FX World Championships in Lanzarote, Spain, from February 27March 3rd and the 2024 Princess Sofia Regatta in Palma, Spain, from April 1-6.
Late selection for the Mixed Multihull (Nacra 17) will be the combined results of the 2024 Princess Sofia Regatta and the 2024 Nacra 17 Europeans in La GrandeMotte, France, from May 7-12.
Please note that if an athlete or team both wins the qualification series for selection to the Olympic Test Event in Marseille in July 2023 and achieves a podium finish at that event, that athlete or team will qualify for early selection and be nominated as the representative(s) for Paris 2024, precluding a late selection regatta or regattas for that class.
Emirates Team GBR grinder Matt Gotrel fell through the fairing of the foiling F50 catamaran as the team approached the finish line while traveling at speeds of 50 km/h. However, Gotrel remained attached to the F50 via his safety line and was quickly pulled back on board by his teammates with no injuries reported. The team finished sixth in the race and picked up a record of 6-6-2 across the first day.
The first fleet race began with Australia announcing it could not race due to technical issues before the gold and green
F50 dramatically crossed the start line. Despite problems, the team managed through messy maneuvers to finish the race in third overall.
Meanwhile, Peter Burling’s New Zealand, currently second in the Championship standings, was forced to retire from the first race due to technical issues and finished the day in sixth overall, one point behind Denmark in fifth.
Diego Botin’s second day behind the wheel of the Spanish F50 resulted in the team picking up an 8-5-9 racing record, with good moments throughout the race.
After racing at the KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix in Sydney, a major weather event resulted in significant damage to the wing sails and at least one boat at the SailGP technical site.
As far as is known, no one was seriously injured during the incident. However, SailGP has had to cancel racing for the second day of the Sydney event due to the damage.
Ahoy sailors, as mentioned, we will now discuss the second technique of five techniques to help maneuver your boat with dock lines. Stay tuned— the following article will discuss the third technique.
By: KATHERINE M. CLEMENTSThe second technique you can use when maneuvering with dock lines is
springing off the dock stern-first. Follow these steps to complete the process successfully and check back next time when we break down how to check a line.
1. Place fenders between the boat and dock at the bow to prevent damage. Instruct the crew member to observe and adjust the position of the fenders as necessary throughout the maneuver to protect the boat.
2. Rig a spring line from the bow cleat of the boat, loop it around a dock cleat or piling located roughly amidship of the boat, then run it back on board to the same bow cleat and secure it.
3. Remove all other dock lines.
4. Station the crew member at the bow line, where they’ll unwrap the top turn of the spring line, keeping a turn around the cleat and holding the line’s bitter end.
5. Shift the engine into forward, placing tension on the spring line.
6. Turn the wheel (rudder) toward the dock, which will cause the stern to swing out.
7. When the stern reaches a 45-degree angle away from the dock, shift the engine into reverse while turning the wheel away from the dock.
8. As the tension is removed from the spring line, the crew member releases the tail of the line or bitter end, grabs the cleated end of the line, and quickly pulls the line free of the dock cleat or piling and onto the vessel.
9. Once well clear of the dock, bring the fenders onboard.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Robinson Rancheria Pomo Indians of California (Robinson Rancheria) announced on Feb. 14 that they have initiated a pilot program on Clear Lake to remove invasive carp and goldfish to benefit the Clear Lake hitch, also known as “Chi.”
The Clear Lake hitch or Chi is a large, native minnow found only in Clear Lake and its tributaries within Lake County. Since 2014, the fish has been classified as threatened under the California Endangered Species Act. A vital cultural resource for Native American tribes within Lake County, Clear Lake hitch populations used to be seen in runs numbering in the tens of thousands.
Through permitting and $177,872 in grant funding from CDFW, the Robinson Rancheria is leading the pilot research effort to study the effectiveness and benefits of removing nonnative carp and goldfish from Clear Lake.
The Robinson Rancheria contracted with the Minneapolis-based WSB engineering and environmental consulting firm to seine sections of Clear Lake from Feb. 3 - 11, to catch carp and goldfish. Some of the carp and goldfish were kept for biological testing, but most of the fish, including all nontarget sport fish, were
returned to the lake unharmed as part of the feasibility study.
The timing of the project was chosen to coincide with the period when carp and goldfish form large aggregations in preparation for spawning for a more efficient collection of target species and to minimize bycatch of other fishes. CDFW
was on the water monitoring the effort. Other partners include the Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians and the Lake County Water Resources Department. Carp and goldfish are detrimental to Clear Lake hitch and their habitat in several ways, including predating on Clear Lake hitch eggs, disturbing and
circulating nutrients in the lake that can reduce water clarity and foster harmful algal blooms in the summer, and inhibiting tule growth. In addition, tule provides essential rearing habitat for juvenile Clear Lake hitch.
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) is seeking comment through March 13 on a proposed r ule that would establish a program allocating Pacific cod harvest quota to a limited access group of harvesters and processors in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI).
The proposed rule would implement Amendment 122 to the fi shery management plan for g roundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area. It would establish the Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program (PCTC) to a llocate the Pacific cod harvest quota to qualifying groundfish License Limitation Program (LLP) license holders and qualifying processors.
The limited access privilege program would be for harvesting Pacific cod in the BSAI trawl catcher vessel sector.
According to NMFS, the proposed action is necessary to increase the value of t he fishery, minimize bycatch to the extent practicable, provide for the sustained pa rticipation of fishery-dependent communities, ensure the sustainability and v iability of the resource, and promote safety and stability in the harvesting and processing sectors.
N MFS also said this action would promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and M anagement Act and other applicable laws.

• The Southern California winter of 2023 has been one to remember with regard to stormy weather with there being lots of days of extreme weather conditions that have brought rain, gale force winds and high seas. The numerous strong weather systems have kept anglers off the ocean on the bad weather days and have also had an effect on water temperatures which have cooled more than in our recent winter seasons. Sea surface temperatures have continued to drop and are currently down in the 56 to 59 degree range.
• Good news is that spring is not far away with Monday, March 20 marking the first day of spring. Anglers are hoping that the coming of spring will bring better weather, warmer water and good surface fishing. Talk of cooler water can bring up the topic of the possibility of a Southern California run of albacore. The extreme winter we have had just might be what it takes to bring about a new cycle of currents and water temperatures that might result in bringing albacore back to our local offshore waters.
It certainly makes for good discussion among anglers. Wouldn’t a local run of albacore be nice for the summer of 2023!
• When the weather allows, sportboats out of San Diego Bay and Mission Bay have been running what are mostly 1.5-day trips down the Mexican coast to fish the Punta Colnett and Punta Camalu areas. These Mexican coast trips have been finding very good fishing for a mix of reds, salmon grouper, lingcod, and an assortment of rockfish. In addition to the bottom fish species there have been a few calico bass and barracuda biting along with a chance at finding some yellowtail. The more recent trips have had very good fishing for the bottom fish species including lingcod and have found a few bass and barracuda biting but the yellowtail fishing has been slow. If you do locate some Punta Colnett area yellowtail, best bets have been to try yo-yo iron or dropper loop fished sardines.
• The two most recent fish counts from boats fishing the Punta Colnett region and below start with Relentless out of H&M Landing
that fished a 2.5-day trip with 20 anglers who caught 195 rockfish, 170 reds and 27 lingcod. Pacifica out of Seaforth Sportfishing had a 1.5 day trip with 20 anglers catch 1 barracuda, 27 lingcod, 95 rockfish and 77 reds.
• Very few boats have been fishing at Los Coronado Islands lately, but reports are that the surface fishing remains slow in the 56 to 58 degree water being found around the Islands. The cold water temperature has not hindered the bottom fishing though and the bottom fishing has been very good for a mix of reds, assorted rockfish, sculpin and an occasional lingcod. The best areas for the bottom fishing have been northwest and north of North Island in 30 to 60 fathoms and at the hard bottom at the South Kelp Ridge below South Island in 25 to 50 fathoms. One of the best areas for lingcod where there have also been some sculpin, whitefish and sheephead biting has been at the Rockpile in 18 to 23 fathoms.
• Some of the sportboats out of San Diego Bay and Mission Bay have been running half day trips to Mexican waters to fish for rockfish. The most recent fish count was from New Seaforth out of Seaforth Sportfishing that had 23 anglers on a half day trip catch 155 rockfish.
• An ongoing reminder to anglers
with regard to the fishing above the Mexico border is that they need to keep in mind that the annual seasonal rockfish/groundfish remains in effect and runs through March 31, 2023.
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.
