FAMILY TIME FOR A CHILD OF 8, 10 or 12 years old, what could be better than a couple of weeks aboard a boat, cruising southeast Alaska, visiting Glacier Bay, puttering around in the dinghy, spotting dolphins and whales and sea otters, and generally having the summer of a lifetime? How about doing all that without parents around. Seriously. How great would that be? Mike and Lisa Youngblood gave their grandchildren, Aliya, Bryan and Tyler, that opportunity during summer 2017 aboard their Mainship trawler, Faraway. The kids — sans parents — joined grandpa and grandma for six days inside Glacier Bay, where they viewed glaciers and icebergs, encountered sea life, and anchored in coves with scenery that they’ll recall when they have children of their own. Between their homeport of Ketchikan and Glacier Bay, the siblings learned how to tie lines, pull fenders, operate the dinghy, drive the boat (under close supervision) and live with one another in tight quarters without tossing anyone overboard. Grandpa Mike even purchased a journal for all three children and encouraged them to record each day’s activities before bed each night. Yes — gasp — pen and paper for human beings age 12 and younger. (He purchased a bunch of movies, too, but I think they were on DVD, not VHS.) If this adventure — read the story beginning on page 18 — gives anyone any ideas about spending time at sea with their grandchildren next summer, be sure to read the sidebar called Children on Board. Mike shares 4

what he learned about cruising with preteens, including how to keep them busy, happy and sane. The last one is probably more for the older folks on board. The Youngbloods accomplished their summer of adventure aboard a 34-foot trawler, which isn’t a huge boat, especially with five people aboard. Another of the feature stories in this issue examines a niche related to the Mainship: pocket cruisers. Zuzana Prochazka delves into a

CARVER YACHT OWNERS CAN BOAT WITH CONFIDENCE. AND THAT’S OUR PROMISE. To build a boat is a very complex undertaking. In fact, not many boat builders actually build their boats. It’s more of an assembly process, with large numbers of components sourced from other vendors and put together at the plant.

To maintain the highest levels of quality control, reliability and structural integrity, Carver manufactures and produces most of its components in-house, assuring each customer the ﬁnest production boat available. What’s more, Carver’s Class B rating means its yachts are built to navigate as far out as 200 miles offshore and sustain Force 8 winds and waves up to 13 feet. No wonder Carver Yachts is taking the marine industry by storm. Sea trial one at your Carver Yachts Dealer today. We promise you won’t be disappointed.

Carver Yachts Promise Every Carver Yacht owner has my personal pledge that we will provide whatever support is necessary to ensure the finest ownership experience in boating. As a Carver owner, if you ever have a problem that cannot be remedied by your local dealer, I promise that the right technical experts will be assigned to aid that dealer in solving your problem. I invite you to take a closer look at Carver and see the difference.

Approximately 170 islands make up the San Juan group in the Salish Sea. Can you identify the masquerader in our list? >>Long Island >>Cow Island >>Waldron Island >>Puffin Island >>Buck Island >>Justice Island AT MORE THAN 80 FEET long, the Otam Millennium 80 HT can

travel at almost 50 knots, and look good doing it. Sleek and aggressively styled, the 80 HT’s bow leans forward like it’s always ready to go, and the windshield and cabin superstructure are low slung and swept back like a convertible driver’s hair. Its windows resemble Egyptian-styled eyes and create a fashionable profile, but some people don’t like them because they can limit visibility. Like so many Italian movie stars, though, she’s a looker. The fourth hull of Italian builder’s flagship Millennium model features twin MTU M94 diesels, each of which cranks out 2,600 hp at 2450 rpm. Builder sea trials pegged top speed at 48 knots and the best cruising speed at 41 knots. A previous hull included four 1,620 hp engines, which pushed it to more than 55 knots but cut down on interior space. Designers used the extra interior space to create dual master staterooms (at the buyer’s request) and make things airier in general. Standard plans call for three staterooms, all en suite, below, including an amidships full-beam master in addition to the forward VIP and a portside twin double-berth guest room, but Otam is flexible. Also on the accommodations level is the galley, which features a side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, a four-burner stove, an oven, a dishwasher, a sink, cabinets and, conveniently, a washer and dryer. Two settees face each other in the salon, and the helm, fronted by twin captain’s chairs, sits to port. In the cockpit, the yacht’s real social zone, a transom settee can seat five, and lounges to either side of the door to the cabin can serve as chaises or bench settees. Portable chairs can turn the table and settee into a dining spot. A nice feature is the sunpad, big enough for two or three people, aft of the settee and over the top of the dinghy garage. The hardtop extends over the settee, and a Bimini can be extended over the sunpad. Denison Yachts is Otam’s West Coast representative. Otam, otam.it

Fast Ferry Begins Service Kitsap Transit (kitsaptransit.com) began passenger fast-ferry service between Bremerton and Seattle in July. After more than a decade of work, the first sailing of Rich Passage 1 from Bremerton had 78 passengers and carried more than 800 people before the day was done. Kitsap Transit Executive Director John Clauson spoke with riders on Monday, July 10: “It is a great day for the people of Kitsap County. We now have a half-hour connection to downtown Seattle for Bremerton, and in the not-too-distant future, Kingston and Southworth too.”

DECK OF DOOM?

Anyone who has been on a cruise ship may have noticed that, much like in many hotels, there’s no 13th deck. Now, on many ships, that’s because there just aren’t that many decks, but on most ships with more than 12 decks, the 13th deck is labeled 14. Most cruise lines that choose that numbering system point to the number of international guests from cultures that view the number 13 in a bad light. And of course there are the Western superstitions regarding 13, too.

D I D YO U K N OW ?

When Zane Grey’s book “The Vanishing American” was turned into a movie in 1924, 14 buffalo were transported by barge to the Isthmus on Catalina and filmed for a scene in the movie. When the movie wrapped, the buffalo were left behind. Source: visitcatalinaisland.com

Maritime History on Display

The sinking of Titanic still captures people’s imagination and fascinates them, even after more than 100 years. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley currently is hosting an exhibit of artifacts from that fateful night in 1912. It’s the first time in more than a century that all of the pieces on exhibit have been in the same place, including sheet music, pocket watches, a deck chair and much more. Nothing from the wreck itself is on display, as that is considered a final resting place not to be salvaged. Visit reaganfoundation. org to find out more, but hurry, because the exhibit moves on after Jan. 7, 2018.

According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association Canada, there were approximately 37,249 new powerboats sold north of the border in 2016, an increase of 0.3 percent from 2015.

Coast Guard Reminder

In early August, the Coast Guard issued Marine Safety Alert 08-17, dealing with high-seas communications. It issued the Safety Alert as a reminder that the Coast Guard no longer monitors SSB-HF frequency 2182 KHz, and hasn’t for more than four years. Many mariners still try to reach the Coast Guard on the now unmonitored frequency. Visit navcen.uscg.gov for more information.

Charity Afloat

’T

IS THE SEASON to give thanks, and anyone who has been

considering getting rid of a boat (hopefully to make room for a new one) might want to think about donating it to charity and helping the less fortunate by doing so. Most of these charities auction the boats to the highest bidder and use the funds to further their giving mission. Before donating, do a lot of research or consider consulting a charity navigator, to make sure the charity is reputable. Check out some sites to find more information.

MEXICOREPORT BY CAPT. PAT RAINS

ACTION-PACKED ITINERARY

How long does it take to cruise the Sea of Cortez? How long do you have? Here’s a seven-month plan. At one of my Mexico cruising seminars an admitted newbie asked, “How long does it take to cruise the Sea of Cortez?” At first that question may seem silly. If you’re going cruising, aren’t you planning to voyage slowly, poke into all the tranquil anchorages and explore all the villages, towns and resort ports? Not until you’ve sampled a bit of everything can you decide how much time you’ll want to spend there, right? Not always true. Most U.S. cruisers have time limits, and some insurance policies require owners to stay north of hurricane alley all summer. Plus, as fabled a cruising ground as the Sea of Cortez is, it’s enormous: • 570 miles north to south • 1,500 nautical miles of coastline • More than 100 uninhabited islands • Environments ranging from dry desert to steamy jungle For good reasons, many cruisers need a seven-month itinerary of just the must-see or must-do places. If you can’t see them all, see the best. Some are gorgeous while others are renown as cultural watering holes on the gringo trail.

November: Los Cabos

After the arduous voyage down the Pacific side of the Baja California Peninsula, cruisers must stop at either Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo to thaw out, trade foul-weather gear for the tropical cruising uniform — shorts, T-shirts and flip flops — relax in a marina slip, the first since Ensenada, and treat the boat to a freshwater washdown. Twenty good eateries immediately surround both marina basins and daily forays into town make it easy to start a Mexico T-shirt collection. Don’t miss the Giggling Marlin. Reprovision at four excellent big-box stores, and pick up holiday goodies at Flora and Fauna in San Jose. Top off the tanks and head out before it gets too crazy. ||

December: La Paz

With six marinas and swinging room for hundreds of yachts in several almost-free anchorages, La Paz is the largest liveaboard boating community in Mexico. Check in as a “new arrival” on the Cruisers VHF Net at 8 a.m. Monday through Friday, to ask questions and hear the latest nautical news and weather. Visit the Club de Yates de La Paz next to Marina de La Paz for morning coffee and weekly events. Flying guests down from LAX for the holidays? Five airlines land at La Paz, while six land at San Jose del Cabo, but it takes a two-hour bus ride to get to La Paz. Take guests snorkeling for the day at Balandra before heading 20 miles to the fabulous Espiritu Santos Islands for three- to five-day excursions.

14 SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2017

+ Sea Mexico Report3.indd 14

9/28/17 2:23 PM

January: Puerto Escondido

The 115 miles between La Paz and Puerto Escondido is the nicest, most pristine cruising ground in Mexico. If you and your guests enjoy viewing dramatic geological scenery, experiencing marine wildlife up close, swinging at anchor over crystalline turquoise waters, and exploring remote beaches and coves by dinghy or kayak, then take your time. After exploring the west side of the Espiritu Santos islands, head north. Five easy overnight anchorages can be taken at Evaristo, Gato y Toro, Agua Verde, Candeleros and Honeymoon Cove on Isla Danzante before tucking into a slip or mooring at Marina Puerto Escondido, complete with fuel, a boatyard and restaurants. (Consider this a hurricane hole for the summer.) Visitors can hike Steinbeck’s Canyon, visit La Salina ghost town on Isla Carmen, catch dorado or roosters off Loreto’s panga darsena, party/dance/ drink under the stars on Loreto’s malecon, or snorkel or standup paddleboard off the dazzling white sandspit off Little Coronado Island. Teens won’t be bored. ||

February: Santa Rosalia

The second-best cruising ground runs 135 miles from Loreto up to Santa Rosalia. Two stops are imperative: San Juanico, to tie an ornament on the Cruisers Memory Bush, and Playa El Burro inside Bahia Concepcion (the sea within the sea), to say hola to Baja Geary, the daily weather man on the Sonrisa Ham Net. At Santa Rosalia harbor,

tour the restored El Boleo mines and stock up on bolellos from the French Bakery. Take the morning bus uphill to visit quaint San Ignacio, its date palm oasis and its historical 289-yearold mission church. ||

March: San Carlos

Cross from Santa Rosalia 75 miles to San Carlos, the two-marina resort harbor in Sonora. Before the desert heats up, slowly gunkhole 35 miles north from San Carlos as far as Tastiota, visiting any of 32 small but dramatic anchorages in between — the best of the pristine Found Coast. In one of the bays, Bahia Colorado, we often buy bags of fresh camarones from the shrimp boats that anchor overnight in March. Balance all that nature with a few nights on the town in San Carlos, and then restock the galley in Guaymas’ supermercados before departing south. ||

April: Topolobampo

Scoot 175 miles down to Topolobampo, leave the boat at Marina Palmira, and visit the famous Copper Canyon. At Los Mochis, book 6 a.m. first-class seats — starboard side up, port down — aboard the famous El Chepe train that winds through breathtaking scenery into the

pine-clad Sierra Madres. For a three-day trip, get off and spend the night at Creel on the canyon’s rim, spend the next day hiking or visiting a Tarahumara village, and then take the train back down to Los Mochis. ||

May: Mazatlan

Mexico’s second-largest community of liveaboard boaters fills four marinas in the manmade harbor near Mazatlan’s famous Golden Zone — high-rise beach resorts, boutiques and discos. Zip around town in local pulmonias, open air golf carts. Big-league sportfishing is a sure bet — same latitude as Los Cabos. May brings striped marlin, sailfish, dorado and yellowfin tuna within 10 miles. By June, blue and black marlin arrive. Catch and release is mandatory for sails and advisable for marlin. By June, cruisers should decide if they’re: • Seeking a summer hurricane hole in the Sea of Cortez, so they can explore the mainland next winter; • Scooting south to Central America; • Returning the boat to the U.S. on a ship or a trailer; or • Bashing back up the outside of Baja.

WE SAW NUMEROUS whales on our trip, but unfortunately the kids did not get to see any breaches. At one point I was on the flybridge while everyone else was below, and I saw some whales up ahead. Our VHF radio doubles as an intercom, so I called into the intercom, “I hope your noses aren’t buried in your iPads, because there are some whales up here!” Oops. I didn’t have the intercom mode enabled, so I was broadcasting on VHF Channel 16. Someone responded and said they had been looking for whales all day and wanted to know where we were. It was sunny, warm and calm on the day we went all the way up the West Arm to the northernmost part of Tarr Inlet. Along the way we saw Reid Glacier, Lamplugh Glacier, Margerie Glacier and the Grand Pacific Glacier. Johns Hopkins Inlet was closed due to seal birthing, so we could not go down there. It was a marvelous experience and I think even the kids genuinely appreciated what they saw. When we got back to Blue Mouse Cove that day, the harbor porpoises were in abundance and were not shy about coming up close to the boat as we anchored. The kids really got a kick out of that.

THE

TION

n June 2010 my wife, Lisa, and I cruised through Glacier Bay on our own boat — we wrote a story about the trip that appeared in the February 2011 issue of Sea (“The Glory of Glacier Bay”) — and, awed by the experience, we knew we wanted to return at some point. Almost exactly seven years later the planets aligned and Lisa and I, both fully retired, fulfilled that wish. Our boat, Faraway, is a 34-foot Mainship trawler. It is basically the same boat we took on the 2010 trip, though an eight-month maintenance session in the boatyard in late 2015 and early 2016 improved it immensely. Now we have a skookum inverter, which helps a lot, an entirely redesigned and reengineered electrical system, all new batteries, a new raft lifter and numerous other smaller, less visible but very significant repairs and upgrades, all of which helped make this trip very enjoyable. The other significant difference between the 2010 trip and this one was the crew. For this year’s trip we had our dog, Bambina, and three of our grandchildren with us. The presence of the dog and the grandchildren added unique dynamics to our trip, which was broken into three distinct segments. Our oldest grandson, Tyler, 12, accompanied us on the first leg from Ketchikan up to Juneau. In Juneau we picked up Aliyah, 8, and Bryan, 10. The second segment was the real meat of the trip — from Juneau to Glacier Bay, a week inside the bay and then back to Juneau with all three grandchildren. And the third segment was running from Juneau back down to Ketchikan with Bryan, after having put Aliyah and Tyler on a plane in Juneau. BY MIKE YOUNGBLOOD

GAP T

he trip from Ketchikan up to Juneau with Tyler aboard was enjoyable, and at 12 years old, Tyler was old enough and strong enough to help with many of the chores and responsibilities associated with running a small boat. He was a terrific help with bumpers and lines and many other chores, and even piloted the boat at times (under supervision). We ran from Ketchikan to Wrangell, via Clarence Strait, Canoe Pass and Zimovia Strait, and then from Wrangell to Petersburg via the Wrangell Narrows. In Petersburg I came across a unique vessel, Polar Bound. I highly recommend the book “The Frozen Frontier,” which chronicles Polar Bound’s voyage through the Northwest Passage and also down the Inside Passage. From Petersburg we navigated up through Frederick Sound and Stephens Passage and SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2017 19

CHILDREN ON BOARD

Having three children aboard for so many days was indeed a challenge. At 12, 10 and 8, they had a lot of energy, and being cooped up in the relatively tight confines of a boat made it difficult for them to burn up that energy. We found a few ways to help keep them happy and under control at the same time. Board games. We had several board

Journals. I provided them with their

games for them to play, although Monopoly became their favorite. One game could last two or more hours. Sometimes they got into arguments over the game, so near the end of their time on board they had to stop playing.

own journal, and I required them to make journal entries before bed. They sometimes needed help to remember specific events, but they bought into the idea and seemed enthusiastic about it. I think they will enjoy reading them in the future.

Raft rides. They loved going out in the raft, so whenever the weather and circumstances allowed, Tyler and I set it up and I’d let them go out. I made them all wear life jackets, and they carried a handheld VHF, so we could communicate. The Torqeedo electric kicker was just fast enough that they had fun but not fast enough to get into trouble. Dock fishing. When we were at a dock the kids liked to get out there and try to catch whatever they could. I had two spinning rods available, and tons of spoons and other lures. If they needed help getting a line set up or untangled or whatever, I did whatever was needed to keep them out there fishing. They lost a lot of my gear, but it was well worth the cost to keep them outside and enjoying the environment. Of course they knew the rules: we never kept anything they caught.

Netting. We had a small net with a very fine mesh that could catch small fish, jellyfish and kelp. I taped it to my spare boat hook, which extended to quite a length. Food and snacks. My wife and I spent a lot of time and money getting them the kinds of foods they like — but also healthy. They ate on a schedule, with designated snack times in the morning and afternoon. Plenty of sleep. They each had comfortable and warm sleeping quarters, and they got plenty of sleep each day and night.

No video games. I wanted them to focus outside the boat as much as possible. They knew from the beginning that video games were out.

Boat chores. Wherever possible and practical, I got them to help with chores around the boat: bumpers and lines, raft setup and take down, gear stowage, meal prep, dishwashing and meal cleanup, and any number of other chores. I rarely had to push them, as they genuinely seemed eager to help. Movies. We watched movies most nights. Movie selection was always a “negotiation.” The supply of movies was limited and some were not suitable for kids. I bought some suitable movies for them before we left, but my selections only elicited gales of laughter, so I had to return them. I guess I’m out of touch with that generation. Separation. There were times that I had to separate them, especially on a long run of many hours. I would bring one of them up to the flybridge with me for a 30-minute “shift” and rotate to the next one — alphabetically of course, so no one could claim bias.

Watching for wildlife. Usually I would spot something first, because I was on the flybridge. When I saw something of interest, I immediately notified them via the intercom. They would run out to the foredeck to see whatever I had spotted.

anchored in Pybus Bay (Cannery Cove) and Gambier Bay (Snug Cove) before reaching Tracy Arm, where the Sumdum and Sawyer glaciers are. Sumdum Glacier can be seen from the entrance, but one has to go pretty far back into the arm to see Sawyer Glacier. We just poked our nose into the entrance, fighting the extreme currents that rage there, took a lot of pictures of the many floating icebergs in the area, made our way back out again, and continued north.

Glacier Bay National Park is an amazing place to visit. Entrance is very tightly controlled.

he night before reaching Juneau, we stopped at Taku Harbor, which is about 30 miles south of Juneau. Taku Harbor is a terrific place to stop, because passengers can get out and stretch their legs, dogs can take care of their business and there is usually enough dock space to get a safe, secure moorage for the night without having to anchor. And the abandoned cannery, with its associated machinery lying around, makes for an interesting walk and is a good photo subject. Tyler enjoyed running around in the raft, though our nearly new Torqeedo electric outboard, while reliable, was not nearly fast enough to satisfy a 12-year-old’s need for speed. One of the onboard systems that got a big upgrade while the boat was at the yard was the entertainment system, and it got quite a workout on this voyage. The kids spent many an evening watching numerous videos. I didn’t realize kids 12 years old and younger can watch the same movie over and over and enjoy each showing more than the previous one. That must be an attribute that diminishes with age.

lacier Bay National Park is an amazing place to visit. Entrance is very tightly controlled, and private vessels such as ours must have a permit to enter on a specific date and for a specific period of time. Officials allow only a small number of private vessels in the bay at any one time, in an effort to enhance the wilderness experience for the boaters. They only allow two cruise ships to enter the bay each day, and they do not stay the night. Upon entry to Glacier Bay, private boat owners are required to take a boater orientation course at the park service center at Bartlett Cove. In that session, instructors cover the rules and areas for “whale waters.” They discuss the importance of understanding and working with the strong tides and currents in the area. If any specific areas are closed for whatever reason, those are identified. A short video about the bay is shown and discussed. I found it to be an interesting and worthwhile orientation. A relatively new addition to the Bartlett Cove station is a whale skeleton, fully reconstructed and on display. Truly impressive. The main features people come to the bay to see are glaciers, whales, sea lions, sea otters, seals, porpoises, bears, wolves, eagles and other sea birds, and, of course, the stunning natural terrain, even in the areas where there are no glaciers. Unfortunately we had marginal weather during our time inside the bay. One always hopes for calm, sunny weather every day, but the reality in southeast Alaska is often far different from that. We had to wring as much enjoyment out of each day as we could, regardless of the weather. For this trip we anchored in North Sandy Cove for two nights, staying an extra day due to bad weather. We also anchored in Blue Mouse Cove for two nights, for convenience, since it provides easy access to the West Arm. And then we spent our last night in Shag Cove. We saw very few other private boats in the bay while we were there, which made it easy to get good,

DODGING BULLETS

OFF COURSE IN ZIMOVIA STRAIT

As we motored south out of Wrangell, we came into some very shallow areas in Zimovia Any boat trip of this duration Strait. I’ve been through the area numerous is bound to have some close times over the years, so I know that all will be calls. On our trip we had three well if you follow the navigational markers. situations I considered As we passed Button Island I was on the potential trip-enders. VHF radio talking to a neighbor of mine who happened to be traveling in the same area. He asked me about fishing in the area, and I started panning the GPS chartplotter to locate the spot where we had caught some fish in late April. While I was panning the chart, I lost situational awareness. The boat charged ahead at nine and a half knots. When we closed off our conversation, I looked over to the port side and saw a green navigational marker. The green markers were supposed to be on my starboard side. Then I looked at the depthsounder and saw it was about 14 feet. I immediately, and quickly, brought the engines to neutral, and then to reverse, powered back out of there in reverse and went back around the green marker, putting it to starboard where it belonged. My new GPS chartplotter has the ability to take screenshots, so I captured the boat’s track at that time. It clearly shows that I just about clipped a rock pile. Lesson learned: Pay attention to your course at all times!

SHALLOW WATER IN TAKU HARBOR secure anchorages. We had seen a few sea lions along the way before we got to Glacier Bay. They would come alongside in groups of two or three, seemingly curious about the boat and not afraid of it at all. But inside the bay, as we passed by South Marble Island, sea lions were hauled out there by the hundreds. Cruising by safely and closely, we could easily hear them — and smell them. Our grandchildren had never seen sea otters before, since we do not have them in the Ketchikan area. They were greatly impressed by the furry little critters who float easily on their back with their feet sticking up and their gray face looking up at everyone.

On the southbound trip out of Juneau we stopped at Taku Harbor, where I tied to the inside of the main dock, near the end. I checked the water depth when we arrived and the tides for that evening and determined we had plenty of water to stay there for the night. I neglected to check the tides for the next morning. When we woke up at about 7 a.m., I noticed there was a lot of beach showing, so I turned on the depthsounder at the lower helm. It showed 5.6 feet. Then I checked the tides and saw we still had more than 30 minutes before the minus-4.7-foot low tide at about 7:35 a.m. I made the snap decision to fire up and pull out of there right away. In hindsight, not a good decision. When we turned the corner at the end of the dock, my depthsounder read 3.2 feet! We didn’t hit bottom and

22 SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2017

+ Sea feature Cruising6.indd 22

9/28/17 2:21 PM

made it out of there safely, but I was really sweating it. I have since checked the “keel offset” setting on my depthsounder. It was set to plus 3 feet, but I now believe it should have been set to minus 3 feet, so I’m unsure exactly how deep the water was, but I know we barely made it out of there without bottoming out. Lesson learned: Always check the depth and tides for both the evening and the next day, even at a dock.

Dinners on the dock at Meyers Chuck, fishing from the boat and the dock, and family time at Glacier Bay created the atmosphere for a trip to remember.

As we passed by South Marble Island, sea lions were hauled out there by the hundreds.

MOORING LINES NEED TO BE SECURED We spent our last night out at the dock at Meyers Chuck. When we pulled out the next morning, I had Bryan pull the bumpers and the mooring lines, and when he came up to the flybridge I asked him if all the bumpers and lines were secure. He said they were, and I didn’t check. Over the past 35 years, I have made many runs down Clarence Strait that were far from calm, but on this day we had a smooth run — so smooth I didn’t leave the flybridge for the entire run down the strait. When we got down to the Caamano Point area, it was so calm I decided to stop and do some bottomfishing. When I came down on deck, I saw that the very long mid line was draped on the side, outside the rails, and was drooping so low it was almost touching the water. If there had been any rough water at all, even some seiner or cruise ship waves, that mooring line would have dropped into the water, and it was long enough that it would surely have gotten fouled in the props. Lesson learned: Don’t expect a 10-year-old to act like an adult; it’s my responsibility to check up on him.

e stopped at Bartlett Cove briefly on our way out of the bay. Boaters can find fresh water, fuel, showers, laundry and other facilities there. We made our way back to Juneau with a stop at Funter Bay Marine Park in southern Lynn Canal. I had not been in there before, but we had a great time. The public dock there is somewhat rickety but perfectly safe. The kids had a ball and were able to vent some of the energy that had been pent-up during six days on the boat inside the bay. A group of three or four orcas cruised right by the dock as we were preparing dinner. In Juneau we put Aliyah and Tyler on a plane back to Ketchikan. Bryan accompanied us the rest of the way home on the boat. The trip to Ketchikan was, for the most part, enjoyable but uneventful — except for the few scary moments noted in the side bar “Dodging Bullets.” We stopped in Taku Harbor (again), Petersburg, Wrangell and, last, Meyers Chuck before we made it to Ketchikan. Having 10-year-old Bryan along was terrific. He was interested and engaged in the operation of the boat and helped me in many ways. He could crawl around that engine room and get to areas that are no longer accessible to me. I discovered to my surprise that the dock at Meyers Chuck, which was once owned by the state of Alaska, is now owned by the city of Wrangell, and that the city charges a nominal moorage fee — on the honor system, of course. I guess I missed that little detail when I stopped there in late April. On our last run, down Clarence Strait, as we approached Ketchikan, we encountered a pod of about a dozen orcas. Lisa and Bryan stood on the foredeck and watched them while I was above with the side panels open trying to snap photos. Our safe arrival in our home slip at Bar Harbor marked the end of this voyage. It’s always good to get away for an adventure, but it also feels good to get home safely. I hope the kids remember this trip as a great family memory for a long time.

PREP FOR WINTER It’s simpler with a checklist. Here it is.

AS WINTER APPROACHES AND TEMPERATURES begin to drop, many Pacific

Northwest boaters’ thoughts turn to winterizing their vessel. Some have already done it, and some will soon. Some hire professionals to do the job, and others like to save a little money by investing a little time doing it themselves. When done correctly a properly winterized boat is not only protected from the harsh elements of winter but will also save time and money in the spring. Below is a generic checklist to help ensure a trouble-free winter and get everyone back out on the water with minimum surprises in the spring. Batteries

NORTH PACIFIC 44 SEDAN

A proven hull provides the platform for a new coastal cruising sedan design. TESTING A NORTH PACIFIC yacht is a difficult task for any marine writer. The boats have been designed and built for comfortable, safe and economical coastal cruising on any of the world’s oceans, but they are most at home in the Pacific Northwest and southeast Alaska. It’s very difficult, even for a “cranky” boat tester, to find something major that needs improvement. North Pacific’s new 44 Sedan is a single-engine coastal cruising trawler, a

The accommodation space has plenty of headroom, lighting and ventilation. vessel type rapidly growing in popularity as sailors move to power. For owners, a nice benefit to trawlers’ increased popularity is that it helps keep resale value up. The North Pacific 44 Sedan is impressive at the dock. It has a big, husky look, yet the molded-in plank lines give the hull texture and elegance. The fiberglass work is bright and shiny without haze or print-through. With a main-deck interior that’s all on

the same level — the head and accommodations are down and forward — the 44 is a sedan cruiser. The helm station is forward and to starboard in the deckhouse, and from that location the skipper can easily see the entire 22 feet of the deckhouse and into the aft cockpit. The displacement hull, complete with a fully integrated swim platform, features a long keel that helps the hull track and also helps to dampen rolling. The full, almost plumb stem provides good reserve buoyancy up front and helps the bow resist burying the nose as the hull moves through a seaway. Overall, this hull design makes for a very comfortable and quiet boat underway. The designers provided more than adequate deck space and good stainless handrails, so people on board can move quickly and easily from the aft cockpit to the foredeck. Access to the large, hardtop-covered command bridge is up a set of steps from the cockpit. The hull is solid, hand-laid glass, and vinylester resin is used on the outer two laminate layers. This type of resin helps the laminate resist wicking water into the hull in the event the gelcoat is damaged. The decks and superstructure are fiberglass with a synthetic honeycomb core, which creates a very strong, stiff, lightweight structure that provides a level of insulation. One structural feature that is found on

The single-level main deck houses a social salon, a capable galley and a fully equipped helm with good visibility. The engine space under the salon floor is well insulated, as indicated by a running noise level of barely 70 decibels. 30 SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2017

most North Pacific hulls but not on other marques is a marine-grade aluminum grid that provides support for all the interior floors. The grid adds massive strength and structural rigidity without adding much weight. It also helps ensure that the floors will not start flexing and squeaking as the vessel ages. Marine-grade aluminum does not corrode. The NP44’s deckhouse has more window glass than fiberglass and, even on a dull day, the interior is flooded with natural light. All the window frames are stainless steel and need only to be wiped down with fresh water to keep them bright and new looking. The entire exterior of the vessel is wash and wear — a simple hose-down with fresh water is all that’s needed to remove salt spray after a day out. There’s really not much flexibility when it comes to laying out the interior of any sedan cruiser, because the deckhouse is on one level; however, North Pacific has done a good job laying out a practical and comfortable interior. Teak-and-holly flooring, satin-finished teak cabinetry throughout that’s finished with seven coats of polyurethane (all of the woodwork on board is first class), and 12v LED lighting make for a modern and bright interior. Ultraleather fabric and a soft headliner soften the interior

The helm station has electrical outlets for AC and DC power as well as a powered USB connection.

Chrome or brass light fixtures, as well as drawer pulls and locks, contrast nicely with the teak. Another item featured in most North Pacific yachts is a flip-open helm. A touch of a button releases the helm, hinged on the bottom, so wiring connections are open and easily available for maintenance or replacement, which saves time and money if upgrades are required. North Pacific has a number of optional deckhouse features available on request. The helm is located forward in the deckhouse and all controls fall easily to hand,

The L-shaped galley, complete with a deep, double stainless sink with a pullout faucet/sprayer, is located to port, just aft of the port deckhouse door. It includes plenty of solid countertop space and storage in drawers and cupboards. A propane or electric stove is available. An exhaust fan, located beside the stove and venting outside, makes cooking much more comfortable and ensures that cooking odors and moisture are removed from the deckhouse. A combination refrigerator/ freezer is also located in the galley. Aft of the galley is a comfortable six-person dinette that pulls double duty as a bed.

Two staterooms, a head with a separate shower stall and plenty of locker space are located below and forward. The forepeak master contains a comfortable island queen bed, hanging lockers and drawer storage space. To starboard, aft of the master space, is a side-by-side twin-berth cabin that can instead be laid out as an office in one of the optional layouts. The accommodation space has plenty of headroom, great lighting, good ventilation, and the fit-and-finish is as good as in the rest of the vessel. The Cummins QSB6.7L fired up quickly and like most computer-controlled engines quickly settled down into a nice purr, without clatter or smoke. At idle, 600 rpm, my noisemeter — placed directly above the engine space — registered 61 decibels, only one decibel higher than a normal library. In fact the 44 is very quiet throughout its entire speed range. Even at wide-open throttle, 3000 revs, the meter read just a touch less than 70 decibels, the same as a normal conversation. At 850 revs we moved along at 4.2 knots, at which point the 355 hp Cummins was burning 0.5 gph. One thousand revs gave us 4.7 knots and a fuel burn of 0.7 gph. At 6.6 knots the engine was spinning at 1500 rpm and burning 2.2 gph. That speed is roughly under-sail cruising sailboat speed, and that fuel burn yields 3 mpg. When we tapped the throttle up to 2000 rpm, the Cummins burned 5.6 gph and the 44 was traveling at 8.3 knots. Fuel burn at 2500 rpm was 10 gph and speed was 9.7 knots. Wide-open throttle, 3000 rpm, produced 11.3 knots and a fuel burn of 18.4 gallons per hour. At all speeds the vessel responded smartly and precisely to all helm inputs. This new North Pacific is as good as the other vessels in the line, is very quiet and comfortable underway, and has excellent visibility and ventilation. The builder offers many options that will appeal to different boaters, within a well-designed, well-built hull. A single engine keeps costs down but is powerful enough to allow the vessel to operate in the traditional trawler speed range while keeping fuel costs under control.

MONTE CARLO YACHTS 70 It’s a superyact by design, if not by size.

THE BOW ON THE Monte Carlo Yachts (MCY) 70 is worth the price of admission. Lounging here on one of the enormous sunpads may make someone feel like she’s on a superyacht. And she is — except this one’s 20 feet shorter than normal and can be operated without a superyacht crew. And that not only saves cash, but it ups the fun factor too. A combination of French ownership (Groupe Beneteau) and Italian design (Nuvolari Lenard), Monte Carlo Yachts builds contemporary hulls from 65 to 105 feet. The second smallest in the line, the MCY 70 lives up to the reputation for style that Italy is known for — interior accents on luxury wherever the eye rests and swoopy exterior lines that blend with round hull ports to give it a unique profile. The 70 looks at once aggressive and sleek, retro and classic, which also matches its dual personality as a superyacht, yet not. I rarely start a vessel walkthrough on the bow, but I couldn’t resist making my way to the pointy end of the MCY 70, which isn’t a brand new model but is new to the West Coast. I noticed the width of the sidedecks and the gates that are built into the hull. From the fashionplates that

TESTER’S OPINION

keep wind and spray out of the cockpit, I walked forward, sliding my hand along the large, flat-topped stainless steel railing all the way to the Portuguese bridge at the windshield. There, I transitioned to a bow that’s large enough to land a small helicopter, if it weren’t so posh. A central walkway leads between two crescent-shaped tables that lower electrically to form two enormous sunpads with popup lights and headrests. Just ahead is a well where crew can stand safely and operate the windlass that is elevated to about thigh level. A fabric sunshade on carbon fiber poles can be erected over the entire lounge. I’m not sure how much wind this setup can take, but there’s nothing flimsy about anything else here. The cleats are massive and the tables, although an elegant combination of stainless and teak, look like they could lift a car. Sitting up here, even without a glass of chilled white, makes one feel like a celebrity in Cannes shunning the invasive lenses of the paparazzi. The equally impressive other end is dominated by a large, hydraulic swim platform that lowers below the waterline to launch a tender (1,300-pound max loading capacity). When empty, the platform is a great place to lounge, ready dive gear, host

a small swim party or enter the engine room via the transom door. Steps lead up either side of the transom to a cockpit that is protected from the weather by the extended flybridge overhang. A teak-clad staircase to port leads from the cockpit to a large flybridge that is covered by a hardtop with a central retractable fabric sunroof. A double helm seat is amidships behind the reverse windshield. Two Raymarine G Series MFDs front a dash with a full complement of engine and systems controls, and they provide camera feeds for visibility aft when backing into a slip. An angled lounge sits to port and more companion seating is outboard on the other side.

The best part of the day, besides experiencing the sturdiness of this boat and that sumptuous bow arrangement, was driving pods with 1200 hp engines. That definitely makes an argument for keeping the MCY 70 as an owner/operator vessel. However, it accommodates up to three crew, so if an owner would like someone to bring the chilled bubbly as he and the family lounge on the bow, there’s room for that too.

Amidships is a dinette that will seat six for dinner, and behind that, next to the utility mast that holds antennas and KVH satellite domes, is a galley module with an electric grill, an ice-maker, a refrigerator and a sink (all standard equipment). Additional deck space at the rear has room for two chaise lounges for sun worshipers. The view forward from here is excellent, over that fabulous bow lounge and all the way down to the windlass.

entire end of the interior to the salon and its L-shaped lounge to starboard. The cockpit opens up to the salon via glass and stainless doors that fold neatly out of the way. The barrier is less a door and more a glass wall, and just as on the bow, there’s a feeling of heft and sturdiness as the doors open. Inside, the color palette is “greige,” with gray oak, beige and taupe blending to a soft effect and an upsclae appeal. The galley is also to starboard, its Miele and Isotherm appliances subtly camoflouged inside wood and painted surfaces. Across is a pantograph door that leads to the port sidedeck, a feature that will be welcomed by any skipper who has to hurriedly make his way from the inside to the bow. An L-shaped dinette or breakfast nook sits just ahead of this door, and it can serve as companion seating to the captain. The main helm is every bit as commanding as one would expect on a vessel of this size and sophistication, with a leather-topped dash and a matte lacquered finish to cut glare. Twin Boning monitors serve up all the information from navigation to systems monitoring, and the joystick and thruster controls are side by side to the left of the leather-wrapped wheel. A triangular, opening side window will help the driver communicate with crew outside and bring in a breeze as well. The windshield ahead is a thing of beauty. The corners curve gently — no small feat when working with glass — and there’s no center mullion, so looking forward is like watching an IMAX movie with nothing in the way but a pair of Gallinea wipers. Visiblity aft is blocked by the galley but cameras are available to monitor every part of the vessel all the way back to the swim platform. Because the only stairs to the flybridge are from the cockpit, the interior has an uncluttered, open and easy flow.

Mark Gibbons of 50 North Yachts in San Diego, the MCY dealer, noted that these vessels are fully custom built, which means buyers can opt for just about any layout that will fit within the frame of the structure. Our test boat had the most common, or “brochure,” plan, which eschews the popular aft galley concept and instead dedicates that

like a European hotel room. A full walk-in closet may be located in the starboard forward corner, but if the owner is willing to forgo it, a fourth cabin with over/under bunks may be added, as was the case with our test boat. Strips of inset rope lighting illuminate the ceiling over the bed, which is intersting, but by far the nicest features of the main cabin are the round portlights. From the outside, the large windows give the yacht a distinctive profile, but from the inside their effect is even better. The two large ones provide wonderful outside views and the two small ones open, so fresh air circulates. That’s a departure from full-beam masters on other yachts where the space feels buried and is dependent on air conditioning, which is something we don’t rely on much on this coast. Two crew cabins are aft and may be accessed via the engine room or through the clever lift-up staircase that leads to the flybridge. In the case of an owner/operator vessel, this can become a fifth cabin for guests or kids, because the finish in the crew accommodations is of such quality that guests will not feel at all put out here. No detail is overlooked in the interior. Everywhere one’s eyes fall are leatherwrapped handholds, contemporary stainless accents and chic fixtures, all of which add up to a functional but sumptuous interior. Two dozen different materials are used in the interior finishes, including gray oak wood veneers, various leathers, travertine stone and a selection of luxe fabrics from elite European designers. Finishing details are exceptional. In one six-inch square, I noted four different finishes: the stitched leather door covering, the matte paint on the door frame, and the ruched fabric and textured oak wood of the bulkhead. Handled less deftly, this may be overload, but the color scheme works and the effect is one of luxury. There is only one engine package on the MCY 70: twin MAN V-8s with 1,200 hp. However, buyers can choose V-drives (standard) or ZF 4000 pods (optional). Our boat had the pods and a joystick, both at the lower helm and on the flybridge.

Joystick driving with engines this powerful makes for a heady experience. The water churned as soon as I tipped the stick. Counter-intuitively, when docking, it’s almost easier to use the bow and stern thrusters; the engines are so strong they tend to kick the aft end of the boat around with much vigor. To Gibbons’ credit, he was up for a ride outside the harbor, so we motored toward Point Loma in San Diego and turned into the wind, which was about 12 knots true. By Pacific standards, the ocean was flat but there was a slight swell coming in, so I tried positioning us both bow-on and beam-to the waves to see how the boat handled. The two optional Seakeeper gyros kicked on and the boat steadied. With tanks at 65 percent (fuel) and 80 percent (water) and three of us aboard, we gradually came up on plane — it’s no small feat to generate momentum on 42 tons (dry). We topped out at 27 knots and 2173 rpm — short of the 33 knots and 2300

rpm that I expected. Also, around 1500 rpm, the whole boat shimmied and the hardtop shivered. (I believe that the top speed and the shimmy are related on this particular hull and will be addressed.) At 1800 rpm, we slipped along nicely at 20 knots, finding the 70’s smoothest and most economical cruise. At this speed one can expect a range of almost 250 nautical miles with no reserve. However, if an owner decided to idle along at 600 rpm and 7.4 knots — average trawler speed — the range would increase to more than 1,900 miles, depending on conditions. That means the MCY can roam from Alaska to Mexico or be just as at home doing weekly turns to Catalina. At speed, we turned in about three boat lengths, and with just the joystick, the boat easily spun in its own length, which showed exceptional agility on a vessel of this size. Inside, the boat remained whisper-quiet, even with one of the two 23 kw Kohler gensets working the Seakeepers and the two engines running at 1800 rpm. From the flybridge we could hardly feel how fast we were moving as the deep-V, flared bow kept the deck dry and the height off the water (25 feet) camouflaged our speed. Heads turned and phones snapped photos as we passed.

ADLER SUPREMA A hybrid carbon-fiber Euro yacht is set to debut in North America.

ADLER YACHT IS A NAME that might seem foreign to American boaters. That’s probably because the company is based in Switzerland and its yachts are designed by Italy’s Nuvolari Lenard and built in Italy, and because its new 76-foot Suprema model will make its North American debut at the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show this month. Suprema is a full carbon-fiber yacht that uses a Hybrid Marine Solutions (HMS) hybrid engine system. Those two features make it a unique yacht in that it’s the first yacht of its size to have either feature, much

less both. Its twin CAT C-18 1,150 hp diesels provide the power needed to reach its top speed of 30 knots, but those big CATs are paired with twin ATE 100 kw e-units that can push the yacht to 10 knots. At 8 knots, the e-units can last up to an hour, and they recharge in just 60 minutes. They come in handy during docking maneuvers too. The basic plan calls for three staterooms, with guest rooms fore and aft and a fullbeam master amidships, but buyers can select three, four or five staterooms. There’s room for two crew too.

9/28/17 2:19 PM

Eric Kunz has yet to meet a mariner who regrets installing autopilot on his boat. JUST LIKE THE SMARTPHONE IN YOUR HAND OR THE CAR BACKUP CAMERA THAT HELPS

avoid collisions in the grocery store parking lot, autopilot is a must-have tool, especially for boaters who go deep offshore. “The autopilot doesn’t go for coffee breaks or look around at different stuff,” said Kunz, Furuno USA’s senior product manager. “Assuming everything else is working right and your autopilot is dialed in, it’s a super tool.” Today’s autopilots offer more robust features and are more affordable than models introduced just a few years ago. When autonomous systems make their way into the recreational boat market, the autopilot will be at the heart of the system. Autopilot was introduced nearly 100 years ago when Elmer Sperry built the first one, nicknamed Metal Mike, to steer large vessels. The gyroscope-guided autopilot was too big for recreational boats, but that changed in 1974 when inventor Derek Fawcett created a tiller-mounted autopilot for smaller boats. While autopilots still serve the same purpose — take a vessel to a waypoint — the latest generation of autopilots is better at adjusting for sea

“We’ve gotten good at autopilots, not trying to sound arrogant or anything,” said Dave Dunn, director of marine sales and marketing for Garmin. “(But) we’ve invested a lot of time and money into learning about them.” Manufacturers point to better compasses and improved interfaces as reasons why autopilots are better today than the units sold just a few years ago. Companies quickly realized the limitations of fluxgate compasses — a metal ring floating in oil — and switched to solid-state sensors. Unlike fluxgate compasses, which can be impacted by vibrations and electronic interference, newer autopilot sensors monitor everything from positioning to pitch and roll. Each sensor can provide up to 50 readings per second to the processor.

conditions, less taxing on the steering system and can save on fuel costs. Autopilots are simple to use but are complex marine electronics. An autopilot generally consists of a computer, a control head, a drive unit and a compass. The user enters a waypoint on the control head, and the computer, taking cues from the compass, sends a signal to the drive unit, which powers either an electric or hydraulic ram connected to the tiller bar. Though autopilots can stand alone, most are networked to a multifunction display such as a plotter. A networked system allows for greater functionality, especially if the components are from the same manufacturer. A common complaint about older autopilots — they caused excessive drive and steering system wear — has been eliminated on newer models thanks to complex software algorithms. But manufacturers said the old autopilots get an unfair rap, because those issues are often related to poor installation, faulty electronics or a lack of general maintenance.

“A traditional compass is your cardinal direction and it’s just on a single plane, so if the boat is pitching or rolling real bad or heeling, the compass doesn’t know any different,” Dunn said. “Now the new compasses, like our nine-axis sensor, can detect heel, pitch, and roll, and the autopilot compensates for that, so you get a much straighter, more efficient path, and it doesn’t overwork the engines or the boat.” Mercury Marine’s Dan Balogh credits smart sensors and simplified displays for improving autopilot. Boaters can dial in SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2017 43

subtle changes to continually improve their on-water experience, he said. “The proliferation of those smart sensors, that are cost-effective, have made autopilots better, made various systems around the boat better and really enabled a lot of very interesting things,” Balogh said. If a boat’s autopilot was purchased around the time of the Y2K scare, it’s a good candidate for an upgrade or replacement. Many manufacturers offer adapter kits and software upgrades, allowing consumers to use existing wiring to connect display units and sensors, provided it is NMEA 2000 compatible, to allow the marine electronics to communicate. If consumers are planning to retrofit an existing system, manufacturers agree it’s best to use the same brand; otherwise, there could be problems with the interface. Even with an upgrade, the autopilot may not have the full functionality a newer autopilot would have. While a boater can purchase a new autopilot from the local marine store and do the work himself, Dunn said the consumer should at the very least consult with a professional. For new installations Garmin offers broader warranty coverage if the customer uses a Garmin- or NMMAcertified installer. “We give you a better warranty because we know it’s done correctly,” Dunn said. “If

customers feel they can do it, however, they can certainly buy it and do it themselves.” Expect to pay 20 percent or more of the autopilot purchase price for a professional installation, which could take a day or more. With autopilots selling for $1,000 to $5,000, a professional install is a small cost in overall boat ownership. Navico Marine Electronics, which includes Lowrance, Simrad and B&G brands, offers a $999 Outboard Pilot package for smaller boats to make either a Simrad or Lowrance multifunction display autopilot capable. Owners who plan to go the do-it-yourself route must know what steering system their boat has. Autopilot manufacturers offer packages for cable and hydraulic steering systems, and a fly-by-wire system may be as simple as a software upgrade. “As long as you know the volume of your steering system — and, if it’s hydraulic, the volume of fluid in the rams — you can go into a [marine retailer] or a technical dealer and they’ll be able to specify a system for you,” said Mark Harnett, autopilot project manager for Navico. Harnett noted that entry-level Outboard Pilot isn’t for high-speed boats or rough seas, and owners will need a more durable (and expensive) autopilot system for offshore. Newer autopilots give the captain options to make the journey to a far-flung

SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2017

spot a little more comfortable. Modern technology provides options that autopilot manufacturers could have only dreamed about years ago. Furuno USA offers a Precision and Economy mode in its NavPilot, which allows for a cross-track error of six to 50 feet. Running in Economy mode increases the longevity of the steering system, because it doesn’t work the steering system and rudder as hard, Kunz said. “Some of these guys want to use their autopilot for really precision waypoint navigation in tight waters, and we don’t recommend that but can’t stop people from doing it,” Kunz said. Furuno will release a Bluetooth remote controller with a built-in range sensor, so the captain can point and press a button, and the autopilot will follow the course. Technology has allowed autopilot manufacturers to add helpful features. Garmin offers Shadow Drive technology, which allows the captain to take the helm to steer around an object and autopilot will reengage the course. The company also sells a smartwatch that can control the autopilot, and the feature can be accessed through an app. Mercury Marine offers a similar feature in its joystick-equipped boats and has a fishing feature that can hold a boat at an angle to keep lines from getting tangled. Navico offers low-speed and high-speed steering setup in autopilot, to appeal to the fishing crowd. One feature that won’t likely be coming soon to the recreational boat market is realtime weather data being fed into autopilot, even though consumers want it. “There’s a lot of liability in that,” Dunn said. “You’re assuming that the weather data is correct, you’re assuming that the weather antenna is working properly. Just a lot of things we have to work with other companies on. I don’t think anybody is to that point yet in the recreational market.” To see the future of autopilot, it pays to look at the military and the automotive industry. The U.S. Navy is investing heavily

in autonomous boats for reconnaissance, cargo delivery and homeland protection. That technology will make its way into the recreational marine market, where consumers could one day see self-docking boats and move autonomously to a location. Rolls-Royce in June demonstrated the first remotely operated commercial vessel in Denmark. The ship undocked and completed a 360-degree turn before docking again. Imagine this scenario: A boat owner sends his boat down to Cabo on its own, meets the boat down there, cruises for the winter and sends the boat back to Seattle on its own for the summer season. Kunz sees that as a real possibility. Kunz sees the marine industry adapting self-driving car technology and using a combination of ultrasonic and radar-based multiport sensors around a boat for automatic docking. “A lot of people that have money for boats have very little time to actually go out and learn how to use them effectively or really master them,” Kunz said. “How can the electronics help them?” Consumers will likely see autopilot technology move into mass market boats as a standard feature thanks to lowercost LED screens and sensors. Mercury Marine’s Balogh said it’s important that the technology is easy to use and enhances the boat owner’s experience. “There are so many things that people resist because it’s not really understood, but when you realize it’s there to assist the person and not replace the person, I think there is a much different regard for the technology,” Balogh said. “I’ve never seen technology at the dock making fun of me trying to back my trailer down the ramp.” Whether it’s right or wrong, the marine industry has to meet the expectations set by the automotive industry. “The customer base is always asking for more and with all the home automation, car automation, customers want to see that in their boat too,” Dunn said. “That’s our challenge, to try and bring those expectations to your boating lifestyle.”

pocket cruisers has some people thinking of coastal cruising in manageable, efficient and capable boats of diminutive proportions. Some boat owners have decided not to haul around all that fiberglass — which raises the cost of fuel, dockage and haulouts — when they can have the same fun at a fraction of the expense and hassle. Is less really more? It can be for people who know their cruising style and know they don’t need the extra staterooms, heads and certain other features of larger boats. Small boats are small no longer in terms of their features, systems, performance and capabilities. And while these under35-foot designs have been around for a while and won’t be a fit for everyone, their appeal seems to be on an upward trajectory.

Common Features A REVIEW OF ANY NUMBER of pocket cruisers at a boat show reveals some commonalities. Whether it’s a Ranger Tug, a Beneteau Swift Trawler or a sporty Back Cove, flowing layouts reflect how we live today. Many galleys are on the main deck in the salon or cockpit where the cook is part of the social action and the guests are part of the meal prep. Amazingly, on some of these boats, stall showers have been squeezed below so nobody has to wipe down the entire head after a quick rinse. Fewer level changes make it easier for kids, older folks and pets to get around the boat. And large hatches, windows and skylights bring in lots of air and light, so nobody feels cut off from the environment, which is why we’re out there in the first place. The indoors flow nicely to the outdoors thanks to cockpits that are on the same level as the salon and clever doors and canvas separations that create

climate controlled interiors, for all-weather boating. Some, including the Swift Trawler 30 and 35 (which replaces the 34 this year) and the Helmsman 31, feature flybridges that increase the exterior living space and enhance the view at cocktail hour. In general, layouts have become more open and inclusive, and that makes the boats seem bigger inside and out. “It’s a lot of boat,” said David Rogge, owner of a Swift 30. “It’s just the perfect size for two.” There’s little roughing it with these fully featured cruisers. Amenities such as flatscreen TVs, air conditioning and heating, plentiful LED lighting and plush seating ensure that comfort hasn’t been sacrificed. Many builders offer all these amenities as standard equipment or at least as upgrade options. And for stowage, every nook and cranny both inside and out is now accessible, enhancing storage capacity so owners can pack gear and provisions for longer outings.

Increasingly, the emphasis has been on luxury. Leather seating and trim, chrome handholds, folding glass and stainless doors, rich varnished veneers, teak-and-holly soles, and designer fabrics proliferate in this class of cruiser. Helmsman Trawlers bought the Camano 31 hull molds and took the older boat (now renamed the Helmsman 31 Sedan) to a new level. “We’re building these boats with the same fit and finish and the same sturdy construction methods of our larger yachts,” said company owner Scott Helker. Top-notch equipment such as Isotherm refrigerator drawers and Kenyon electric grills abound, just like on the big boats, and optional teak decking and bow sunpads make owners feel like they’re on their own little superyacht. “The fit and finish rivals a 50-footer,” said Geoff Swing of Stan Miller Yachts, a dealer that represents Back Cove Yachts. “And that factors in the resale value as well.” Exterior styling comes in one of two major flavors: classic trawler and Downeast lobster boat. For devotees of the salty trawler aesthetic, Swift Trawlers, Ranger Tugs, and Helmsman will be appealing. The Lindell 35 that will be introduced for 2019 even has a jaunty reverse rake pilothouse windshield, reminiscent of a workboat. For people who can’t quite wrap their head around parking one of these at the yacht club, Sabre’s Back Cove, Tartan’s Legacy, Bob Johnstone’s MJM and Fluid Motion’s Cutwater offer different lines, including swept-back windshields, low profiles and large cockpits. “There are different aesthetics for different tastes,” said Jeff Messmer, owner of Ranger Tugs and Cutwater Boats. Finally, there’s been a real emphasis on innovation. These little boats are clever — just look at the various origami seating options on Ranger and Cutwater models. Seats swivel, fold, turn, pivot and even pop out of the gunwales. Beneteau’s trick transom on the Swift 30 provides fold-up seats or opens out to create excellent access to the swim platform. Smart modular components offer unique combinations such as a sink and grill on top and a baitwell below. A strong argument could be made that these smaller designs are more creative and efficient with their use of space than their larger siblings simply because they’ve had to be. “There is a lot of innovation happening here, which has opened it up to a wider variety of boaters,” Helker said. “It’s not necessary to sacrifice comfort or features to enjoy the lower costs and easier ownership of smaller boats.” SEAMAGAZINE.COM NOVEMBER 2017 49

Big Potential

SMALL DOESN’T MEAN SLOW. In fact, most of these compact cruisers have a lot of get-up-and-go. Most will plane, and that includes Beneteau’s trawlers that have top speeds of more than 20 knots. Most pocket cruisers enjoy cruising speed in the teens, if not higher, which is important because speed is a major focus of the demographic that’s attracted to the boats. Many builders combine lighter vacuum-infused construction with smaller single engines, so fuel economy is excellent. Stepped hulls such as on Cutwater models help the boat get on plane easier, and laminar flow interrupters break the surface tension to make the process faster, which yields better visibility and fuel efficiency. Changes in hull shapes have provided lift, allowing boats to carve a turn rather than digging in or skidding, even at high speeds, and electric trim tabs take the guesswork out of optimizing planing and running angles, so the boats stay level and run efficiently. “On our inboard boats we tuck the propeller and shaft into a tunnel,” Messmer said. “The tunnel protects the underwater gear and limits the draft to less than 30 inches. It also gives us a six-degree shaft angle, which is more efficient because it pushes the boat forward rather than a higher shaft angle, which pushes the boat up.” Engine packages have become creative. Some

builders, including Cutwater, offer the option of either an inboard diesel that is very economical, quiet and long-lasting, or outboards that are more affordable to buy and can be fueled and serviced in more places. Removing the engine and drive from inside the boat creates room for gensets, larger tanks, more batteries and stores. Outboards are also more easily replaced than inboard engines when it’s time to repower. Regardless of the motor, however, these boats get to where they’re going fast. “Our upcoming 35 is expected to have a top speed of 45 to 55 knots with triple outboards,” said Brian Kott, president and CEO of Lindell Yachts. Joystick operation has crept down to this level too. When a joystick is combined with bow and/or stern thrusters (which are standard on some models), docking a single-screw boat is easy. And joystick drives with double and triple outboards are now a thing too. Just to really take things up a notch, Ranger even offers an exterior aft steering station on its 31. See if your mooring neighbor in Catalina doesn’t envy you that. Finally, some of these boats are trailerable, so if 20 knots isn’t fast enough, how about towing one to new cruising grounds at 60 mph? Ranger 29 owners Jim and Lisa Favors do just that. Their house is in Michigan but they spend much of their time in the Pacific Northwest. When the season is over, they tow their boat to Florida and use it as an RV along the way. “We couldn’t have gone from Washington to Florida in our 40-footer without months and months spent on the water,” Lisa said. “Now we can go cross-country in a week and get a completely different feel in no time.”

Sophistication SMALL BUT sophisticated. That’s the game, and pocket cruisers are amenity laden. Full-sized electronics with big touchscreens adorn the dash of interior and flybridge helms. Most pocket cruisers are wired for advanced stereo systems that are controlled via smartphones and tablets, and some even have Wi-Fi. Large banks of maintenance-free AGM batteries, solar panels and gensets power a lot of must-haves, including water-makers, underwater lights and loads of refrigeration. Some even opt for stabilization such as the new Seakeeper 3 gyroscope that targets boats in the 30-foot range. “We find the people looking at the Swift Trawlers to be very adventurous,” said Barrett Canfield, owner of South Coast Yachts. “We’re loading them up with kayak racks, SUP holders, dive tanks and baitwells. These people don’t just do docktails. They’re out there fishing and diving and basically adventure cruising.” Kott agreed. “Our users are active couples that like extreme adventures in more remote locations. These boats are SUVs: sport utility vessels.” That moniker may sound strange, but Kott was by no means the only one to use it. “They’re luxury SUVs because they can do so much and go many places in style,” Helker said.

Jim & Lisa Favors

Who and Where?

Jim and Lisa Favors are big proponents of the pocket cruiser lifestyle. They visited many places in their Ranger 27 they never would have in a larger boat, including Padre Bay on Lake Powell (top) and Covered Portage Cove in Ontario, Canada (bottom). They now own a Ranger 29.

YES, ADVENTUROUS boaters love these SUVs. They tow them from Lake Powell to Baja and they wind their way down the ICW and reach out to the Bahamas. They are young families that see these vessels as stepping stones into boating, but they are also very experienced couples downsizing from larger, more maintenance-intensive vessels. “These are not just retirees,” Swing said. “They want speed so they can get to the fishing grounds fast, because some of them are still working and their time is valuable.” Canfield, who sells a fair share of Beneteau sailboats, said he sees older sailing couples migrating toward the trawler set. “They’re tired of pulling lines and would rather push buttons,” he said. “It really couldn’t be easier.” John and Ellen Hough, owners of a Helmsman 31, like that they received a lot of support from the builder when they bought their boat. “We had a lot of questions and few answers when we started,” John said. “We got lots of lessons from the company just as if we were buying a big boat.” The couple moved up from a 24-footer and now cruise the San Juans and the Salish Sea. Although they were looking for boats up to 38 feet, they found the Helmsman has everything and handles beautifully. It even came pre-plumbed for a genset, if they want to add one later. “We’ll venture farther as soon as we get comfortable with the systems,” John said. “And there are quite a lot.” Pocket cruisers appeal to a wide demographic of people who have less time than money

and want to do it all. Some also have children and grandchildren who get bored easily; keeping them on the move keeps them engaged. This segment speaks to a variety of people, because the boats are highly customizable and can be outfitted to whatever one’s sense of adventure dictates. Messmer keeps a Ranger 31 for his own family cruising and quickly sums up the appeal of these small boats. “I love being able to get into places where a bigger boat simply cannot go. I love that our family of five can spend 17 days together and still like each other. I like that I can put our paddleboards on the sport rack up top. I love that I can hang on the hook for two or three days without a generator. We use large battery banks, and solar panels are standard on most of our boats. I love that I can cross the Strait of Georgia in a 15- to 20-knot blow and know that my family is safe.”

Lifestyle Factor A LOT OF INTANGIBLES are mixed into the equation that explains why pocket cruisers make sense. First is ease of ownership. Smaller boats with the simplicity of shaft drives are easier to maintain and are ready to go in less time. “It’s not a big production to jump on one of these and go,” Kott said, adding that because they’re simple to operate, more people can stay in boating longer. “Older boaters and sailors don’t have to hang it up.” Second is overall cost of ownership. There’s no way around it, owning a smaller boat means lower slip fees, lower insurance rates, cheaper haulouts, less paint, varnish and wax, and so on. Also, costs are usually lower with outboard power packages, so there are many ways to save money but give up very little. Additionally, these boats can keep two to four people comfortable, fed and entertained for a couple of weeks at a time, and they’re pet friendly, so no one has to stay

behind. “We’re adding a lot of grip flooring on the trawlers, because everyone seems to want to bring their dog,” Canfield said. Service is a highlight for many boaters. Whatever the problem, the builders are standing behind their products and leading with instruction and training whenever possible. “The companies are understanding this market better,” Helker said, “and that lets them provide better support.” Innovation means buyers can break out of the traditional mold altogether. Take for example the Aspen C100, a 32-foot cruising pocket catamaran. Not only does it deliver an almost 500-mile range at nine knots with a single engine, but with twin hulls it’s stable in a rolly anchorage, precluding the need for stabilization. Environmentally minded boaters have options too. The Greenline 33 has a 48v electric motor and an array of solar panels on the roof. It can go 20 nautical miles on clean and quiet electric propulsion at four knots, but it has

a diesel engine, too, so the hybrid model can go much farther. Another appealing aspect of this class of vessel is the community that the small boats have fostered. Like-minded people in similar boats tend to find each other quickly. “I don’t know if it’s the boat or the community, but we’ve met a lot of people, and sometimes we’ll see them on one coast and then the other as we all move around,” Lisa Favors said. “I also see a lot of women cruising. They’re more involved in the operation of the boat and some are cruising solo or with other women, and that’s nice to see.” Like small houses, small cruisers attract attention. Their good looks, easy handling and myriad amenities make owners want to invite company. “It’s the ooh-ahh factor,” Swing said. Owners who invite someone aboard and show him around can almost see the wheels turning as he wonders why his boat doesn’t have this much stuff or, if it does, why it needs to be 20 feet longer.

SUNNY WESTVIEW IN POWELL RIVER

OLD WORLD ECLECTIC CHARM CAN BE FOUND DOWN BY THE RIVER. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

ARLENE AND I HAD HEARD good reports about Westview, located on the upper Sunshine Coast of British Columbia within the traditional territory of the Sliammon First Nation, and we decided to check it out on our summer cruise north. The boater’s grapevine had piqued our interest, with rumblings of a number of affordable and funky cafes and restaurants within walking distance of the marina. Westview is one of four communities that make up the town of Powell River, on the mainland side of the Strait of Georgia, midway between Pender Harbour and Lund. For boaters headed to or from Desolation Sound, it’s a good place to hide when the

waters of Malaspina Strait kick up. Powell River built the first pulp and paper mill in western Canada and was once home to the largest pulp and paper mill operation in the world. Following the boom days of pulp and paper, this community of

just more than 13,000 people is enjoying a quiet resurgence as an attraction for history buffs, foodies and outdoor enthusiasts. Today Powell River is a mix of artisans, mill workers, ex-hippies, avid gardeners, watersports enthusiasts, young families and retirees.

MOOR YOUR VESSEL Prior to entering the south basin, south of the ferry terminal, we hailed the wharf manager on the VHF for a slip assignment for Easy Goin’. She responded quickly and said she would meet us on the float to assist with the lines. The north section of the marina is reserved for permanent moorage.

The Seawalk is a beautiful two-anda-half-mile round-trip walk from the wharf south along the waterfront. The view includes Vancouver Island across Malaspina Strait and breathtaking sunsets. Another short walk is along Marine Avenue where the sides of buildings are covered with murals that depict Powell River’s history.

GET OUT AND EXPLORE During a leisurely stroll along Marine Avenue, we found a variety of bookstores, gift shops, galleries, a bakery and a bowling alley. I spent more than an hour roaming the aisles of the Marine Trader 2 , a wellstocked chandlery that has been in business for more than 60 years. Down the street, an old-fashioned butcher shop, The Chopping Block 3 , has a selection of meats, seafood, smoked sausage and cheese.

In August, during the weeklong Blackberry Festival, Marine Avenue comes alive in a celebration the whole family can enjoy with entertainment, music, dancing in the street, sampling food and enjoying the arts and crafts. Also in August is Beer on the Pier, a two-day event of live music, food and beer.

HIT THE LINKS If you’re in need to a round of golf, the 18-hole Myrtle Point Golf Club is a short drive south of Westview, and transportation is provided by calling (604) 487-4653. With all that we discovered, Westview will be on our future float plans when we travel north.

SETTING THE HOOK IN THE BROUGHTONS

MAKE SURE TO VISIT THESE FIVE ANCHORAGES WHEN CRUISING THE BROUGHTONS. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

THE BROUGHTONS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA are a beautiful cruising ground located at the north end of Johnstone Strait. Rich in history, with an abundance of protected anchorages within a maze of islands, islets and passages, this increasingly popular area has much to offer the adventurous cruiser. After spending a couple of nights at Port Harvey Marine Resort and Lagoon Cove Marina aboard Easy Goin’, our discussion turned to anchoring out. Arlene and I enjoy visiting the quaint and friendly marinas in the area, but what really gets us excited is setting the hook in one of the many excellent anchorages the area has to offer. So we

planned to visit five of our favorites during the following few days. After our morning coffee, we set course for Potts Lagoon and enjoyed a leisurely cruise in the morning sun, stopping just outside of the lagoon to set the prawn pots in Clio Channel. The plan was to pick them up the next morning as we departed.

1/ POTTS LAGOON, WEST CRACROFT ISLAND The passage leading into the basin, between West Cracroft and Kloaitsis Islands, is wide and deep and has a few well-marked rocks to starboard. The narrow passage straight ahead is shallow with patches of kelp leading into the main basin. The lagoon offers anchorage to the southeast of a small island marked “41” on the chart over a good-holding flat mud bottom. This scenic anchorage is well protected and safe in all winds, although westerlies can occasionally sneak around the small island. Six floating homes occupy the southern portion of the lagoon, and an expansive marshland and meadow lie beyond the navigable depths of the lagoon, which make for excellent dinghy or kayak exploration. We discovered several boats already tucked in behind the small island and the

Pott's Lagoon

balance of the basin was peppered with crab-trap floats, so we opted for the East Basin. The approach to the East Basin is unobstructed and has plenty of depth. The basin is very well protected from any potential weather, with the exception of westerlies, during which some chop may curl around the point. But best of all, we had this secluded little basin all to ourselves. That evening as we were sitting on the bridge enjoying the peacefulness, a beautiful full moon rose over the cedar trees. The following morning we weighed anchor and slowly guided Easy Goin’ out of the lagoon toward the first prawn pot. The pots didn’t yield the bounty we were hoping for, but we did have enough prawns for a good-sized happy hour appetizer at our next anchorage.

2/CREASE ISLAND, WEST OF GOAT ISLET We traversed Beware Passage and proceeded up Village Channel, passing Goat Islet to port and weaving between the kelp to set the hook over a good-holding

WEST CRACOFT ISLAND

GALLERY MARINE mud bottom between Crease Island and Goat Islet. The anchorage provides excellent protection from summer westerlies. We launched the dinghy and headed out for a couple of hours of exploration. Our objective was to locate the Chief’s Bathtub on the north side of Berry Island in Village Channel. The site is marked by a pictograph of the Hanasta, or cannibal spirit, to protect it from evil spirits and unwanted visitors. We spotted the heavy eyebrows of the Hanasta about six feet above the high-water mark. The painting seemed to retain its power to bless or curse. Incoming chiefs were required to sit in the this bath four times a day for four days as the cold waters of the tide washed in. That evening as we sat on the back deck enjoying the anchorage, the last of the setting sun and discussing the day’s adventure, a couple of Pacific white-sided dolphins entered the anchorage and approached within 20 feet of Easy Goin’. They passed back and forth off the stern a few times and provided a memorable experience.

3/WADDINGTON BAY, BONWICK ISLAND The entrance to Waddington Bay is located south of the southernmost island of the Fox Group, between Islet “46” (to starboard) and Islet “52” (to port). Then follow the fairly straight waterway west into a surprisingly large and well-protected anchorage. There’s a small island that partially hides the head of a shallow mud bay that shoals. Our favorite way to enjoy the bay and surrounding area is fishing from the tender, setting the crab traps and exploring the maze of islets. Many of the islets are covered in fragrant wildflowers. While we were fishing from the dinghy for that

is the name given by some cruising guides because of the protection provided from westerlies off Queen Charlotte Strait. The name appeals to our adventurous side and provides fuel for our imagination. The approach is straightforward with the exception of a small islet and a couple of drying rocks, all lying south of the cove. They are well marked on the charts, making for an easy and safe entrance. We dropped Easy Goin’s hook at the head of the cove over sand and grass with good holding. The cove provides ample anchoring and swing room for three or four boats, and the setting is pristine, with a tree-draped shoreline and a shoaling

Broughton Lagoon

night’s dinner and crab bait — filets for us and carcasses for the crabs — a pod of dolphins played within feet of us. What an experience, to be so close that when they surfaced we could see and feel the mist of their exhale. Each evening after feasting on crab cocktails and dinner, we took our evening drinks to the bridge to absorb the anchorage’s tranquility.

4/MUD BAY, EDEN ISLAND It’s locally known as Mud Bay, but we prefer the name Let Her Rip Cove, which

headwater at low water. After a quick lunch we launched the dinghy to explore the bay and the numerous nearby islets in Trainer Pass. At the head of the cove there was plenty of evidence — large logs washed up to the high-water line — that the cove is exposed to southerlies, as suspected. But the drift makes for a great resting place with a tranquil view of the anchorage. During dinner we were joined by another boat for the night. Our evening entertainment was watching a group of harbor seals round up small fish and then fire through

the school for a meal. As the sun set, the snowcapped peaks turned shades of red and pink while a waxing moon rose over the bay’s fir trees. The following morning, after a good night’s sleep in our quiet, calm hideaway, we weighed anchor and set course for our next destination, Cecil Island.

5/BROUGHTON LAGOON NOOK, GREENWAY SOUND The weather was calm and clear when arrived at Greenway Sound. We guided Easy Goin’ southeast of Cecil Island toward the reversing rapids of Broughton Lagoon. We set the anchor and backed Easy Goin’ between two drying rocks and ran a stern line to a tree on Broughton Island, securing us in a cozy nook. The anchorage provided a wonderful view of Cecil Island and the entrance to the sound. Broughton Island supports three named lagoons, which are guarded by tidal gates where turbulent, fast-flowing water, hazardous rocks and restricted space for maneuvering make things difficult. Taking a powerboat or sailboat of any size into any of them would require local knowledge, nerves of steel and good judgment (some will say poor judgment). On the other hand, many mariners, including us, cannot resist exploring lagoons by dinghy, so we checked the tides and current tables before launching the dinghy. It was perfect timing, because it was the tail end of the ebbing tide. On the inside, the lagoon opens up to become a quiet, secluded, uncharted saltwater lake approximately three miles long. We were surprised to find a commercial prawn boat working the waters — a vessel so large must know the rapids well. It is possible to stay inside the lagoon for about 30 minutes before returning. We nearly spent too much time in the lagoon prior to transiting out the rapids. The tide had already begun to flood and the waves at the entrance had begun to build. It took three-quarter throttle on the 8 hp outboard to power through the turbulence, which made for a thrilling ride. The following day we headed for the docks at Sullivan Bay and re-provision for our next round of gunkholes.

On Oct. 6, 2016, Hylkema was serving as a crewmember aboard the 52-foot Motor Lifeboat Invincible, during the rescue of the master of the sailing vessel Grace. The Grace was transiting from Tacoma, Wash., to San Francisco, Calif., when it was caught by a storm. Due to weather conditions, it was decided to have the master wear an immersion suit, anchor the vessel, then evacuate. Unfortunately the master’s legs became wrapped in heaving line. Hylkema volunteered to be deployed as a surface swimmer battling 18- to 20-foot breaking seas to cut the master free.

EDITED BY STEPHANIE SHIBATA

Richmond’s Marina Bay Yacht Harbor includes plenty of things to see and do.

QUICK ESCAPE

HISTORY, EXERCISE AND FOOD RICHMOND IS 16 MILES NORTHEAST OF SAN FRANCISCO, DIRECTLY ACROSS THE BAY, AND CAN SATISFY A VARIETY OF INTERESTS.

YOU MAY HAVE PASSED BY Richmond, Calif., while en route to other coastal towns in the Bay Area. Perhaps this quick escape will persuade you to stop in and take a closer look. The city is almost as much water area as it is land. The name “Richmond” came from Edmund Randolf, who was originally from Richmond, Va., himself. Richmond sits on 32 miles of waterfront, more than any other city in the Bay Area.

WHERE TO MOOR Marina Bay Yacht Harbor 1 in the Inner Harbor Basin offers guest mooring. For vessels less than 75 feet LOA, the fee is $0.50 per foot per day, with a $12 minimum; for vessels 75 to 100 feet, the fee is $1 per foot per day; and vessels longer than 100 feet are $1.50 per foot per day. BoatUS members get 25 percent off per night for guest berthing. It’s best to call 24 hours ahead to see if there are any available berths.

MOTHER NATURE While Richmond is perceived as a gritty

urban city, it is home to a multitude of different species of animals and outdoor activities. From humble harbor seals to majestic migrating Canada geese, wildlife thrives in Richmond’s rich and diverse habitat both in the water and on land. The Bay Trail 2 , which is fragmented, runs all around the Bay Area, including Richmond, and may one day be built to all link together. Richmond currently has the longest stretch of the Bay Trail, and a remaining eight miles of trail are currently being built out. The Bay Trail is for bicyclists and pedestrians, and the trail project’s end goal is to connect more than 500 miles of trail all over the Bay Area.

APPETITE CONQUERED Hungry boaters will be happy discover many options for meals nearby. For a truly unique culinary experience, head to Bubbaloo 3 , which is a VietnameseFilipino-American fusion restaurant in the Richmond Marina that serves breakfast and lunch only. Try the lumpia (traditional Filipino eggrolls) or the lemongrass chicken for a memorable and affordable meal. For a more upscale dining experience, mosey to Salute E Vita Ristorante 4 . Find a seat near the window for a panoramic view of the bay and enjoy a spirited beverage from the full bar. Enjoy a grand evening of Italian favorites and make sure you save room for the tiramisu. For something for breakfast or lunch, head west to Assemble 5 , which is adjacent to Rosie the Riveter’s Visitor Center 6 in the revamped Richmond shipyards.

VICTORY SHIP Across Santa Fe Channel to the west of the Rosie the Riveter Memorial sits SS Red Oak Victory. It is the last surviving vessel of the 747 ships that were built at the Richmond Kaiser Shipyards during World War II. Today she serves as a museum ship and is one of the last surviving WWII Victory ships, which, with their cousins the Liberty ships, were built on an emergency basis to supply the war effort. They stand today as a symbol of the U.S.’s national resolve and industrial might during WWII.

Nature still has a foothold in and around the waters of urban Richmond.

TO THE WEB workers there produced 747 ships, making it the most productive shipyard in history. Additionally, Richmond had a total of 55 war industries. The historical park was established on the waterfront in Richmond in 2000 to honor and commemorate those who served at home while soldiers were fighting overseas.

FEATUR E

OH WHALE

KNOW HOW TO HANDLE AN ENCOUNTER WITH SEA LIFE. BY STEPHANIE SHIBATA

AFTER HOURS OF STRAINING OUR eyes to search the horizon for whales, we were on our way back to the docks when the boat abruptly stopped and there was announcement on the loudspeaker. A mola mola fish, the largest and heaviest bony fish in the world, was spotted right next to the boat.

While whale sightings like this are enjoyed by many Southern California boat occupants, our group settled for a large mola mola.

“That’s a face only a mother could love,” said a man next to me, as he leaned over the railing to get a closer look. Indeed, I pondered what the first sailors thought when they came across this large and unusual alien-looking fish that seems to just bumble around the open ocean, constantly looking surprised. Our guide, James Stewart, informed us that mola mola fish sunbathe on the surface of the water to attract birds that peck parasites from the silly creature. We paused for a few minutes to admire the odd fish and then we were on our way, leaving the mola mola bobbing in the waves, blissfully unaware of our presence. Earlier that morning my day began in Rainbow Harbor in Long Beach. I spotted a dockside gathering of folks getting their gear ready to go whale watching. After checking in, we boarded La Espada, which means “sword” in Spanish, for our press tour, and boy did that boat slice through the water like a … sword. The twinhulled hydrofoil catamaran puttered through the moorage, and then it sped off toward the breakwater entrance. The Los Angeles Harbor Lighthouse whizzed by, and we were traveling at an exhilarating speed as we shot out of the harbor and into open waters. Stewart, the education coordinator for Aquarium of the Pacific (also located in Rainbow Harbor), narrated the voyage, feeding us facts about the local wildlife as we all peered out to the horizon in search of a telltale puff of mist from a blowhole. He told us that diving and feeding birds are a good sign, because there might be marine mammals in the area. And typically, the birds mean dolphins and sea lions are feeding, which could indicate that there might be larger marine mammals feeding on the same species of fish as the dolphins and birds. The most exciting sign that whales are in the area is a cone-shaped puff of water and air that can reach 10 to 20 feet high. We were on the lookout. I asked Stewart about safety tips for boat owners who happen to get lucky enough to encounter whales off the coast of California. “When boaters spot a whale on the horizon, they should lower their cruising speed to give the boat more time to react to sea life and avoid ship strikes. The National Marine Fisheries Service has a standard approach distance of 100 yards, and no vessels are supposed to come within 100 yards of cetaceans or pinnipeds (dolphins/whales or seals/sea lions). If animals approach closer or conditions cause a boat to get closer than 100 yards, boaters are

+ Sea CARegionals new.indd 6

9/29/17 6:56 AM

advised to use caution as to not harass the animals, and anything closer than 50 yards could be considered a violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act.” Boaters who want to comply with current regulations should visit nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/ laws/mmpa. The first sign of life we spotted was a large pod of dolphins. Over the loudspeaker, our hosts notified us the pod had a mix of bottlenose dolphins and the much rarer Risso’s dolphins — whose massiveness shocked me. They looked more like sleeker and speedier manatees, especially because of their blunt faces. I would equate a Risso dolphin’s head to that of a French bulldog or a Pekingese, if dogs were marine animals. Risso’s dolphins also have what appear to be awful scars all over their torpedo-like bodies, which James assured us were only evidence of socializing, as Risso’s are known to rake their teeth across one another to say hello. Occasionally, other pods of dolphins entertained us with their presence, swimming close to the boat as we sped along in search of whales. We even spotted a few babies that kept up with their mothers effortlessly. Large flocks of shearwater birds bobbed in the waves and comically looked like they were struggling to get off the water (hence, their name, “shear-water”). They made cute slappy sounds as their wings flapped against the water in their effort to fly away. Steward did a good job keeping our hopes up to see a whale; yet, as the hours passed, my hopes faded. In Southern California waters, on any given day, boaters could spot bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins, and Risso’s dolphins, migrating humpback whales, and seals and sea lions. Stewart said, “In the past, rarer and more exotic creatures were spotted, such as sea turtles, basking sharks, mako sharks, hammerheads, swordfish, marlins and various birds.” Recent years have yielded some blue whales. While we didn’t spot any whales during our voyage, it wasn’t for lack of effort, and it wasn’t because whales don’t populate SoCal waters. It was just one of those days. And a mola mola was a nice consolation prize, a creature that many people will never see.

brokerage advice // buying and selling tips // brokerage listings

POINTING OUT AN OVERSIGHT IN THE AUGUST ISSUE of Sea, we published a feature story called “Sweat the Details.” The story highlighted the ways boat sellers can make their boat as appealing as possible to boat buyers. A Find a Broker sidebar in the story caught the attention of a couple of California yacht brokers. What follows is a response from a broker that states his point clearly and concisely.

SOLD

As a professional yacht broker for over 30 years, I find that this article espouses a significant amount of good advice to boat owners preparing to list their boats for sale. Because we do have a shortage of quality, late-model brokerage boats on the West Coast, it becomes even more imperative that the older boats that we do have be made as fresh and sellable as common sense and finances dictate. Many buyers will enter the market and then find themselves tumbling down a ladder of expectations: First, they are attracted to a new boat — only to be stun-gunned by new boat prices Then they will decide to settle for a nearly new boat, to enjoy the benefit of depreciation — and learn (as your article states) that in most cases there is no such thing Last, as they begin to realize that affordable brokerage boats are much older than they ever thought they would consider buying, they are shown boats that are old, poorly maintained, haven’t been



upgraded, and lack many of the new innovations that they see in magazines and at boat shows. Presenting a well-maintained, upgraded and shipshape vessel will unquestionably make that boat stand out. Finally, the author neglects to mention one of the oldest and most respected broker associations in the world, the California Yacht Brokers Association (CYBA), as a West Coast source for professionalism and competence in the brokerage industry. California is one of just two states that requires broker licensing and bonding, and the only state that requires rigorous testing for both brokers and salespersons. The CYBA works closely with the California state Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) to ensure that our brokers and salespersons are up to speed on regulations and requirements, and our Code of Ethics is the most comprehensive of any ethical practice standards in the brokerage world. And our CYBA purchase and listing forms are the most thorough, concise, and protective of buyers and sellers of any in the industry. — Dean A. West
