BIZARRE
By LINDSEY GLASGOW MANCHESTER, ENGLAND —At
the turn of the millennium, Little Tikes produced a dual sandbox-splash pool shaped like a tugboat and a British man has now turned that creation into a registered, operational boat. The Drive, a website providing auto news and vehicle reviews, reported British railroad engineer Scott Bradley was inspired to turn a Little Tikes “Tuggy” into a seaworthy vessel after another project he had been working on to break a world record was put on pause due to the coronavirus. Bradley told The Drive the project had been attempted before by others but without major success.
The Tug g y, a dua l-pu r pose sandbox and splash pool for toddlers shaped like a tugboat, was produced for only a brief time. According to The Drive, some families confused the vessel for a real watercraft, resulting in a few dangerous situations. Little Tikes pulled Tugg y ’s first iteration from store shelves and redesigned it to be unquestionably un-seaworthy before offering it again for a couple years, The Drive reported. After tracking down one of the original Tuggys, Bradley designed and attached a new base made of foam and aluminum and a 12-volt Minn Kota trolling motor. Before taking it out, Bradley
followed all the legal requirements, according to The Drive, which included getting the vessel registered and finding a marine insurance specialist who would insure a children’s sandbox turned boat. With all the proper insurance and boat registration paperwork in place, it was time to take the vessel out for a test run. Bradley took the boat out in a canal in the Castlefield Basin near Manchester, England. The whimsical ride was captured on video and shared on YouTube on Sept. 19. The Tuggy appeared to stay afloat w ith no issues and cr uised along at a good clip. The video can be viewed at youtube.com/ watch?v=4ksjVHwOBoI.

(SEPT. 18-OCT. 1)
Any modification, and subsequent approval by the Newport Beach City Council, to Title 17 regarding live-aboard status should be given the full consideration of the provision of fire suppression capability of the Newport Beach Fire Department (NBFD). Currently, the NBFD has no internal capability to deliver adequate fire suppression capability for water borne vessels away from a dock. This is particularly important when a live-aboard, essentially a townhouse on the water, is occupied with people. City Council members should demand adequate funding of effective and proper fire suppression vessels, and proper marine firefighting training of fire department personnel, so that residents who call the water

Covid ends sailing at Stanford By PARIMAL M. ROHIT
RE: “San Diego County’s
boating restrictions are still in place” (AUG. 21-SEPT. 3)
“The goal is to slow the spread of the virus and to make sure the healthcare system is able to care for all patients.” Please take it from a front-line Emergency Medicine Physician. We have never been overwhelmed in San Diego County. As a matter of fact, most of us would like MORE patients, not less. Volumes in San Diego Hospitals have been drastically reduced across all departments, leading to cuts in hours and pay for physicians. The boating restriction is unreasonable, non-scientific, and does absolutely NOTHING, to reduce viral spread. — Johannes Neuendorf

On Board With Johnson by J.R. Johnson
PALO ALTO —We have less than 75 days remaining in 2020, by the time most of you read this latest edition of Fast Facts – and the ripple effects of what happened this year will be felt for many months, if not the rest of this decade. Covid-19 has no doubt touched every aspect of our lives. There are a few college sailors who won’t have the opportunity to compete against their fellow athletes – ever! Stanford University, in July, announced the cancelation of
several sports – including co-ed and women’s sailing teams. Both teams will stop competing by the end of the 2020-21 academic year. Other sports canceled at Stanford were men’s and women’s fencing, field hockey, lightweight rowing, squash, synchronized swimming, men’s volleyball, and wrestling. The Stanford sailing team was involved in the “Varsity Blues” admission scandal. The team’s coach, according to news reports, allegedly received bribes in exchange for identifying certain applicants to the uni-
versity as sailing team recruits. Canceling the varsity sailing team, however, had nothing to do with the allegations. The university stated each of the teams cut were the result of limited funding. Stanford’s sailing team won six championships in its history: the ICSA Team Race Championship in 1997; ICSA Match Race Championship in 2019; ICSA Men’s Singlehanded Championship in 1963 (Basil Twist) and 2006 (Emery Wager); and the ICSA Women’s Singlehanded Championship in 2000 (Anika Leerssen) and 2018 (Christina Sakellaris). George Washington University in Washington, D.C. also canceled its sailing team because of Covid-19. No word on whether the college sailing programs at these school will return.
GUEST EDITORIAL
California Boater Card: Don’t Leave Shore Without It Editor’s Note: This is a guest column authored by the staff of California’ Division of Boating and Waterways and does not reflect the views of The Log. SACRAMENTO—Outdoor recreation
has been on the rise since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, and boaters are escaping to local waterways to cool off. The prepared boater is one who starts planning before hitting the water. Only boat with family members who reside in your home and learn the boating rules of the water by taking a safe boating course and obtaining a California Boater Card. The California Boater Card is verification that its holder has successfully taken and passed an approved boating safety course. Boaters 35 years of age or younger are now required to carry a California Boater Card to operate a motorized vessel. The program is being phased in by age to give boaters ample time to obtain their card. By 2025, all operators of motorized
vessels on California waters will be required to carry a California Boater Card. The cost of the lifetime California Boater Card is $10. No profit is made from the card, as the money goes toward program implementation and management. California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) maintains the list of approved safe boating courses, which includes classroom, online and home study options. Applying for the California Boater Card is an easy, two-step process: pass an approved boating safety course; and, apply for the card and provide proof of passing an approved course. Boaters have an option to apply for the card before or after passing
an approved course. Once DBW has received your application, proof of education and payment, you will receive a 90-day temporary boater card by email. You will then receive your official California Boater Card by mail within 60 days. Violation of this law is considered an infraction. Those stopped by law enforcement must present a valid California Boater Card or they will be cited. The initial conviction will be a fine of not more than $100, second conviction is a fine of not more than $250 and a third or subsequent conviction is a fine of not more than $500. In addition to the fines imposed, the boater will be required to complete and pass an approved boating safety course and provide proof of completion to the court.

only thing you’ll need to bring. As of January 1, 2020, all boat operators 35 years of age or younger are required to carry a California Boater Card on state waterways.

STATE HOPES TO IDENTIFY SOLUTIONS FOR COASTAL PLASTIC POLLUTION
Ocean Protection Council hopes to facilitate policy discussion as part of a statewide effort to reduce or prevent marine debris. By PARIMAL M. ROHIT S TAT E W I D E —Many boaters
spend time on land before boarding a vessel and heading out to sea. Most marine debris, sadly, also enter the ocean from land. A report on plastic pollution presented to members of California’s Ocean Protection Council in September stated nearly 11
metric tons of plastic “enter the ocean each year, most of which comes from land-based sources.” The plastic pollution, the report continued, is both costly to the state (cleanups and management) and harmful to marine life (ingestion and entanglement). Ocean Protection Council made plastic pollution and marine debris a priority in 2007, according to the agency’s staff. Council staff, at the agency’s September meeting,

Boston to the South of France Phil LeVine from Cabrillo marina sailed across the Atlantic as a crew man on the real clipper ship Stad Amsterdam. The voyage was over 4,000 miles from Boston to the south of France with more than 30 days at sea. LeVine said the winds were as strong as 40 knots and the ship went as fast as 17 knots. “Lots of hard work and the adventure of a lifetime,” LeVine said in an email to The Log.
said marine debris is a severe issue and requires “bold solutions” to be eliminated (or at least managed). “Given the severity of the problem and the need for bold solutions, staff is seeking direction from the council on additional investment and policy approaches to reduce the amount and impact of plastic pollution on California’s coast and ocean ecosystems,” Ocean Protection Council staff said in a report to council members.
Covid-19, according to Ocean Protection Council staff, has only compounded the problem.2CLegislation aiming to address plastic pollution had been delayed or minimized, for example. 2C St ay at home orders DARKalso changed the way food was conBKGND sumed – also altering preventative pollution measures. “The pandemic has created serious challenges for the plastic BW pollution prevention movement,” Ocean Protection Council staff said in a presentation to council members. “The pandemic has changed how Californians patronize restaurants and cafés: nearly all orders are now takeout or delivery, significantly increasing the use of single plastic food serviceware, and reversing progress made on this issue.” California’s statewide ban on plastic bags was temporarily suspended in March. State officials did reinstate the ban, but compliance could still be an issue. The effect of the temporary suspension, accordingly, is not yet known. See STANDING WATCH page 7

he Ocean Protection Council report on addressing marine debris and plastic pollution said “‘system change’ [is] the most effective way to reduce plastic pollution.” A Pew Charitable Trusts report, Ocean Protection Council staff continued, stated “system change” would “achieve an 80 percent reduction” of plastic pollution by 2040. What does “system change” look like, however? Pew Charitable Trusts, according to the Ocean Protection Council, said plastic should be substituted by paper and compostable materials, for example. Waste reduction, plastic-to-plastic conversion, double mechanical recycling, and designing products to be recycled were other forms of system change, a Pew Charitable Trusts report added.

Standing Watch From page 6
The question still remains: what policy actions need to be implemented in order for the council – and California in general – to put any sort of dent in marine debris and plastic pollution. Plastic pollution laws currently on the books only address specific items, such as plastic bags and straws. There is not, however, a comprehensive approach to addressing marine debris or plastic pollution – not locally, not regionally, not at the state level, and not in the private sector. “California does not have an extended producer responsibility program for types of plastic food serviceware and packaging that are frequently found as litter,” Ocean Protection Council staff said in a report to council members. State legislators tried to advance proposals for comprehensive plastic pollution regulations earlier this year, but the two major bills in this space failed to advance out of the State Senate or Assembly. “This year, Assembly Bill 1080 and Senate Bill 54 were being considered in the state legislature, but they did not get final … approval. These bills would have imposed a comprehensive regulatory scheme on producers of single-use plastic packaging and priority single-use plastic products (packaging and products),” Ocean Protection Council staff said in a report to council members. “The bills would have required producers to source reduce their packaging and products to the maximum extent feasible, reduce 75 percent of waste from regulated plastic products by 2032, and ensure that all packaging and products offered for sale in the state after 2032 are recyclable or compostable.” Ocean Protection Council staff added local jurisdictions are now trying to enact comprehensive plastic pollution regulation, instead of focusing on individual products. “These ordinances often ban the use of single-food serviceware for dine-in customers, make certain items available only on request, require compostable single-use products for to-go use and require fees for to-go cups or containers,” Ocean Protection Council staff said. “Covid-19 has postponed a number of these upcoming ordinances, but some of these have already been adopted, such as an ordinance in Berkeley.”

San Diego County establishes protocols to
Organizations such as the San Diego Port Tenants Association and San Diego Association of Yacht Clubs led the charge to provide guidance for boaters.
re-open recreational boating
By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SAN DIEGO —We are still in the throes of the Covid-19 pandemic. Some things are slowly making a comeback, but many limitations and restrictions are still in place – with no immediate end in sight. Boating activities in San Diego County, however, are likely to be on the uptick, thanks to a set of protocols approved by the Board of Supervisors. The protocols, just the same, could be used as a template to allow recreational boating to “re-open” statewide. Boating has been allowed in San Diego County during the pandemic, but in a limited capacity. Only members of the same household were allowed to be on a boat at any time – until the boating protocols were approved by the Board of Supervisors. There is now hope the protocols approved by San Diego County’s supervisors could be used to implement statewide. Doing so, according to the coalition of boating interests who campaigned for the protocols, would allow for competitive regattas to take place and a consistent set of rules at marinas and harbors up and down the state. Bill Edwards, the rear commodore of San Diego Association of Yacht Clubs, lead the effort to re-open local boating to non-family members. Boats were sitting in marinas, not being used. Yacht Clubs not hosting competitive regattas. The sportfishing fleet, however, had boats heading out to sea. Those aboard each vessel were not always members of the same household. Edwards posed the question the San Diego County Board of Supervisors: why were non-members of a household prevented from boarding a recreational vessel but permitted to head out to sea on a sportfishing charter?
Discussions between Edwards, the San Diego Port Tenants Association, San Diego Association of Yacht Clubs and San Diego Yacht Club (amongst others) picked up steam. San Diego County Chief Resilience Officer Gary Johnston worked with San Diego’s boating representatives to establish some protocols for local boaters to follow. Also contributing to the development of protocols was County Supervisor Dianne Jacob. Supervisors finally approved the set of boating protocols on Sept. 15 – about six weeks after Edwards and others first attended a virtual supervisorial meeting. The protocols have since been shared with marinas and yacht clubs, according to Sharon Cloward, president of the San Diego Port Tenants Association. “It was Wild Wild West before. No guidelines were in place. People were doing things anyway, so the protocols and guidelines are helpful,” Cloward told The Log. “Regattas get people into fresh air, which is a better alternative to being indoors. We want to get the rest of the state open, because we compete against the rest of the state.” She added the protocols would be self-enforced by marinas, yacht clubs and boaters, as the San Diego Harbor Police often have bigger fish to fry than to ensure whether mandates are being observed. “We have to behave, because if we don’t
behave, we’ll go back into the dark zones,” Cloward said. San Diego Yacht Club Commodore Brian Thomas had to oversee the cancelation of regattas, shut down of the clubhouse and suspension of the race committee. It wasn’t all doom and gloom, though. Thomas did start a “Let’s Get Racing Again” Committee. Singlehanded races were also allowed, and the yacht club hosted junior races. Any competing in junior races had to wear masks and have their temperatures checked on the morning of the race. No one tested positive for Covid, according to Thomas. San Diego YC also co-hosted a junior invitational with Southwestern Yacht Club, with 100 or so sailors competing in three separate races. Thomas added protocols are instrumental for yacht clubs. Protocols would help bring regattas back, albeit in a limited capacity. Each regatta would only focus on racing – there wouldn’t be any parties, skipper’s meetings or awards ceremonies. What, exactly, are the protocols San Diego County put in place? A document outlining the protocols was shared with The Log and revealed six overarching categories: mandatory signage; mandatory measures to protect guest health; measures to prevent crowds from gathering;

measures to keep people at least six feet apart; measures to prevent unnecessary contact; and, measures to increase and ensure hygiene and sanitation. The approved protocols must be posted at each marina, yacht club or public launch ramp. Each boat owner at every marina or yacht club must also receive a copy of the boating protocols. Anyone who boards a boat must be logged by boat owner or (or other person physically in charge), for purposes of contact tracing. The boat owner or person in charge must take the responsibility of confirming everyone on board shows no signs of illness (or been in contact with anyone else who showed sign of illness for 14 days). “Face coverings will be required to be available for everyone on the boat and must be worn properly when within six feet of another person not in the same household,” the boating protocols stated. “No land-based social event or gathering associated with boating [is allowed],” the boating protocols continued. “When rafted together, persons transiting across boats or on someone else’s boats will wear face covering when six feet of separation cannot be achieved.” The number of people allowed on a boat must be limited as to “allow a sixfoot separation between non-household persons,” the protocols document also stated. Face coverings must be worn by everyone whenever there are at least two people within the interior of a boat. “The person in charge of the boat shall be responsible for the cleanliness and sanitation of the boat prior to allowing persons on board,” the protocols document continued. “The person in charge of the boat will be responsible for providing hand washing facilities and/or hand sanitizer effective against Covid-19 to all persons on the boat, to include requiring hand sanitizing before boarding. The person in charge of the boat will be responsible for providing disinfecting sprays or wipes that are effective against Covid-19 to sanitize equipment and frequently touched surfaces.” Anyone with questions about these protocols can reach out to Cloward or Edwards. Cloward can be reached via email at sharon@sdpta.com. Edwards’ email is cdredwards@cox.net.

SAN DIGEO—The Bathtub
Races at Crown Point Shores pictured here were part of the activities during San Diego’s America’s Finest City Week, Aug. 24 - 31, 1973. Participants built small watercraft designed around bathtubs or close materials. The rules restricted the engine to 8 horsepower and the weight to a minimum of 350 pounds including the driver. According Sandiego.gov, the annual Finest City Week began in 1972. Republican Party officials had selected the city for their national convention despite city leaders not putting in a bid to be the host city. Sandiego. gov said when the Republican Party decided to move its national convention from San Diego to Miami at the last minute, Mayor Pete Wilson proposed a week of activities for San Diegans to show the pride they felt for their city.

In December, two pregnant female bison will integrate into Catalina Island’s free-ranging bison herd of approximately 100.
New bison to join Catalina Island herd A V A L O N —T h e C a t a l i n a I s l a n d
Conservancy has been working to expand the bison herd on the island. Two pregnant female bison will arrive on the island in December and are expected to give birth in the spring. The new additions come from the Laramie Foothills Bison Conservation Herd and will integrate into Catalina Island’s free-ranging bison herd of approximately 100. The Conversancy said the new additions will supplement the genetic diversity of the current bison herd on Catalina Island with the valuable genetics of heritage bison.
The Laramie Foothills Bison Conservation Herd is managed by Colorado State University, the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, and Larimer County. The herd was established with nine adult females and one male calf in November 2015. It has now grown to more than 100 bison, which has made it possible to share bison with tribal and conservation herds across the country. The bison, according to the Conservancy, have valuable genetics from the Yellowstone National Park Herd and, thanks to science implemented at CSU by Assistant Professor Jennifer

Bar field and her team. are also disease-free. “We look forward to watching our animals find a new home with the herd on Catalina Island, where they can contribute to the growth of a truly unique and iconic herd,” Barfield, a reproductive physiologist, said in a released statement. Bison have freely roamed Catalina Island since 1924 when 14 bison were brought to the Island for the filming of an adaptation of a Zane Grey novel, believed to be “The Vanishing American.” The Conservancy said bison have played a significant role in the cultural heritage of
Catalina Island and will be roaming the island far into the future. “The unique opportunity to see American bison on Catalina Island brings wildlife lovers from around the world to learn about a species they might otherwise not have a chance to see roam,” said Catalina Island Conservancy President & CEO Tony Budrovich. “While here, they also learn about Catalina’s endemic species, special Mediterranean climate and importance of conservation.” Those wishing to see bison on the island can do so through the Conservancy’s Eco Tour. The Conversancy reminds everyone that bison are wild animals and people should stay at least 125 feet away from bison at all times.

PROPOSED MARINE PROTECTION BILL LIKELY TO RETURN IN 2021 Assembly Bill 3030 didn’t make it to the governor’s desk this year, thanks to opposition by angling and commercial fishing advocacy groups. By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SACRAMENTO —California’s legislature
is officially closed for business this year. Every bill approved by the State Senate and Assembly and reviewed by Gov. Gavin Newsom have been signed or vetoed. There were, of course, many proposals that never made it out of either house. One of those proposals was Assembly Bill 3030 (AB 3030), which was introduced by Assembly member Ash Kalra, D-San Jose, earlier this year. AB 3030 proposed to protect 30 percent of the world’s ocean waters. The bill also would have required California to protect at least 30 percent of its land areas and waters. California would have been required to meet these goals by 3030. The bill died in the State Senate’s Appropriations Committee a couple months ago. More than 100 businesses and organization formally opposed AB 3030, including BoatUS, the Sportfishing Association of California, Fred Hall Shows, National Marine Manufacturers Association, Recreational Boaters of California, Hobie, and H&M Landing. Wayne Kotow, executive director of Coastal Conservation Association of California, said the legislators who propped up AB 3030 did not take the coalition of fishing lobbyists seriously when negotiating the bill’s amendments. The Coastal Conservation Association of California was one of the leading groups opposed to AB 3030. “Unfortunately for the bill’s sponsors, they were unwilling to work with us in good faith on our suggested amendments,” Kotow said. “We hope in the next go-around, the sponsors will see fit to work with stakeholders such as the sportfishing community and others to help ensure that the language in the bill is something we all can accept.” Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations Executive Director Mike Conroy co-authored an editorial with Pacific Fishery Management Council Chair Marc Gorelnik for CalMatters. They stated AB 3030 was well-intentioned but poorly written. Opponents of AB 3030 also added the proposal, if it became law, would also restrict fishing access. “The goal [of AB 3030] is laudable, but the bill’s language is not. Unless the bill is fixed to protect existing fishing access – absent a need to protect biodiversity from specific harm – and to recognize the sustainable management of West Coast fisheries, sport and commercial fishers must regretfully oppose AB 3030,” Conroy and
Gorelnik said. They added California has already implemented marine protections, effectively making AB 3030 duplicative. “The bill fails to recognize that the meaningful marine biodiversity protections sought elsewhere in the world already exist here in California,” Conroy and Gorelnik said. “In California, existing fishing management measures already protect marine biodiversity and its role in the larger marine ecosystem. Virtually all of the ocean waters off California are already protected by overlapping federal and state laws and regulations designed to protect the health of living marine resources.” There are many threats to California’s marine biodiversity, they acknowledged, but California already has the tools to address those perils. “Significant threats remain to our oceans, such as offshore energy and mineral extraction, climate change, ocean acidification, plastics, inland pollution reaching the ocean, and water policies in our rivers that diminish stocks of salmon and steelhead,” according to Conroy and Gorelnik. “However, no evidence supports the notion that sustainable fishing in the ocean waters of California creates a risk to California’s marine biodiversity. If a threat from fishing were to arise, tools are already in place to address it.” Anupa Asokan, who describes herself as a lifelong angler and sits on the National Board of Directors for Surfrider Foundation, also penned an editorial for CalMatters. She said the marine protections proposed in AB 3030 were based in science and environmental justice. “[The fishing groups opposing AB 3030] do not represent the voice of the true collective fishing community, they represent short-sighted and selfish interests of the people who look like them. They are using the powerful lobbying voice of ‘the fisherman’ to push an agenda that’s not good for the ocean or the long-term success of any species we fish. “I’m a fisherwoman and a marine scientist, and I’m here to tell you that protecting at least 30 percent of our ocean is critical if we want to continue to fish now and into the future.” Another editorial published by CalMatters added AB 3030 would have actually created more access for anglers. “Assembly Bill 3030 does not restrict fishing or hunting access,” Drevet Hunt, a senior attorney with Natural Resources Defense Council, said in his CalMatters editorial. “[AB 3030] brings together the important goals of protecting and conserving biodiversity and increasing opportunities for access to nature for all. “A basic reading of the plain language in the bill reveals there is no mandate to close fisheries,” Hunt continued. “Instead, AB 3030 includes an affirmative requirement to improve access for recreational fishing and hunting and is silent on commercial activities.” Kalra, in an Op-Ed he wrote for San Jose Mercury News in July, called AB 3030 the “next chapter in California’s environmental history.” The bill, he argued, was necessary to preserve California’s marine life. “As we settle into the new decade, scientists are sounding the alarm that naPlease see BILL 3030, PAGE 12

ture is facing unprecedented challenges. Without action, the California we know, and love, will cease to exist,” Kalra wrote. AB 3030, according to a State Senate Appropriations Committee analysis, would “establish new land, water and ocean protection goals, including 30 percent of the state’s land areas and water by 2030.” The fiscal impact of AB 3030, at the time it was being analyzed by the State Senate, was unknown,” according to the most recent legislative analysis. State departments would endure “potentially significant cost pressure … to support ’30 by 30’ as a target for land, water and ocean conservation,” the legislative analysis continued. Supporters of AB 3030, the legislative analysis continued, believed time was of the essence. “Climate change, land conversion, habitat fragmentation, invasive species,

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA—The
WHAT HAPPENED: A major dining tenant for the new San Pedro waterfront has been announced: Gladstone’s. The seafood restaurant, which started in Malibu and recently expanded to Long Beach, will reportedly be an anchor tenant for the L.A. Waterfront, which is a revitalization project for San Pedro. Details haven’t been released yet, but at least one news report stated Gladstone’s would be located in the San Pedro Public Market, which would replace the old Ports O’ Call complex.

and pests threaten this biodiversity,” the legislative analysis explained about AB 3030’s background. “Warmer water temperatures, disease, invasive species, and the collapse of sea star populations has placed California’s North Coast kelp forests in a state of emergency, with South Coast kelp struggling, as well. Ocean acidification and hypoxia impede biomass production and impact species composition. Other stressors, like pollution and habitat loss, further exacerbate the situation.” The State Senate’s legislative analysis team also pointed out California is “one of 25 global hotspots for conservation” and “one of 34 global hotspots for plant diversity.” Kalra, in a Sept. 11 tweet, said he’d re-introduce AB 3030 on the Assembly floor in 2021. “We need to protect more of our land & water for everyone to enjoy,” Kalra tweeted. “Although disappointed the bill stalled in 2020, we’ll be back next year to push #30by30.”

2021 Vancouver International Boat Show canceled 2021 Vancouver International Boat Show, originally scheduled for Feb. 3-7, has been canceled due to COVID-19 and the ongoing uncertainty related to large-scale events in British Columbia. For the past 58 years, the Vancouver International Boat Show has signaled the upcoming boating season in the region known as one of the premier boating locations in the world. The Board of Directors made the difficult decision to cancel the 59th annual show, it was announced on Oct. 6. Don Prittie, President of Boating BC, owners of the Vancouver International Boat Show, said the Board reached the difficult decision following extensive exploration and consultation with stakeholders, including health authorities. “Although we are incredibly disappointed, there is nothing more important to our organization than the health, safety and well-being of our hundreds of exhibitors and tens of thousands of British Columbians who visit our show annually,” Prittie said in a released statement. “As an Association we are always committed to safety and the decision to support our province’s fight against the Covid-19 outbreak is an extension of that philosophy.” Show Director Linda Waddell of Canadian Boat Shows, producers of the show, said efforts will be refocused towards 2022. “We want to thank all of our partners, exhibitors and sponsors for their ongoing feedback throughout this process while we were working on safe re-opening plans to hold another outstanding show. Their support as we navigated these uncertain times is truly indicative of the spirit of our industry,” Waddell said in a released statement. “Our team is now focused on welcoming British Columbian’s back to the traditional Vancouver International Boat Show in 2022.”

cedural vote on a request for more time for California Coastal Commission staff to review a Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendment turned out to be a little testy. The Coastal Commission, at its Oct. 7 virtual meeting, was considering a request for time extension of an LCP amendment for the Dana Point Harbor revitalization project. The LCP amendment would amend Dana Point’s Land Use Plan to allow for two hotels to be built at the harbor and the square footage for visitor serving uses to be altered. Commissioners were slated to vote on the time extension request as part of the consent calendar. Items on consent calendars are often approved as package, with little to no debate and no discussion of their respective merits. Consent calendar items are, generally, matters of formality and not requiring an in-depth consideration. Three speakers representing a local union spoke out in opposition to the LCP amendment. The speakers tried to address the merits of the amendment, despite being told the matter in front of the commission was exclusively a time extension request. They stated plans for the hotels would gentrify the area and price out lower-income harbor visitors. One of the hotels would be a market-rate venue. Coastal Commission Vice Chair Donne Brownsey informed the speakers to limit their comments to whether commissioners should approve or reject the time extension request. The third and final speaker, acknowledging Brownsey’s request, stat-
ed the Coastal Commission should not be considering the LCP amendment altogether. The merits of the LCP amendment, which aims to amend Dana Point’s Land Use Plan to allow for two hotels to be built at the waterfront, was not up for discussion at this meeting. “The purpose of this time extension is to allow staff, and the public for that matter, additional time to review the city’s LCP amendment,” Coastal Commission Deputy Director Karl Schwing said, adding the Oct. 7 action was on a procedural matter. Schwing added the matter would eventually come back to the commission for a full debate and discussion. Those who spoke in opposition of the time extension said the commission should not be considering the matter at all. Schwing said whether the quasi-judicial agency should be considering the LCP amendment for two hotels at the revitalized Dana Point Harbor is not the commission’s decision to make. “As far as the idea of simply rejecting the matter out of hand, we don’t have that option here, unless the city were to withdraw their LCP amendment,” Schwing said. “I don’t think [Dana Point] is inclined to do so.” Commissioners ended up approving the time extension request unanimously. The time extension is for one year. The time extension request was filed by the city of Dana Point. Commission staff requested additional information about the LCP amendment in August. City staff sought additional time in order to properly fulfill the commission’s request. A permit application to demolish Cannon’s Restaurant at Dana Point Harbor was also on the Coastal Commission’s Oct. 7 agenda, but the item was postponed. The city of Dana Point hopes to tear down the restaurant and replace it with a 44,164-square-foot hotel, which would have 100 rooms. A café, restaurant and spa are also part of the plan.

55 and Feeling Alive: Retirement, and (Literally) Sailing into the Sunset
a lot of retrofitting our boat – from a new mainsail, new instruments, adding a few creature comforts – too many things to list. Let’s just say we’ve become quite intimate with our boat over the past year. We’ve also been honing our sailing skills, reading lots about the sail down, watching lots of videos about sailing, etc. Then there is the documentation and paperwork needed for Mexico, not to mention getting things in States set up as well. Lots of things left to do still. PMR: What challenges did you have to
overcome to make retiring on your boat a reality? KD: The biggest challenge was making the
decision and sticking with it. I believe it’s tough for most of us to figure out an exit strategy from normal working life. Not to mention the enormous amounts of roadblocks that are either in our way or will get in our way. Sometimes it’s just pure luck and the way things go, other times it’s a struggle. Most of the struggle comes from believing in what you want, not giving up, or getting distracted. We’ve had many days that we’ve said, ‘What the hell are we doing?’ However, we remind ourselves to ‘adapt and overcome.’ PMR: Why Mexico?

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA —It’s time to say goodbye – to this column, and to The Log’s Kevin Davis. Yes, you read that right: this is the final installment of Nautical Banter. We started this column in June 2019, with the intent of having fun and insightful conversations about boating. Davis, who is a liveaboard boater and sales director for The Log, enthusiastically agreed to partner up with me on this column – and we had many great talks. We talked about the life of a liveaboard, enjoying food aboard your boat, vessel maintenance, pet health and boater bars, amongst other topics. You also read it right, when I mentioned we’re bidding adieu to Mr. Davis. Our sales director is retiring. We decided to do one more Nautical Banter before he leaves us for good – and by leaving us for good, we don’t just mean the office and company. Davis and his wife are boarding their boat – Indy Sent Lady – and heading south of the border, where the hope to soak up some sun, enjoy a steady dose of adult beverages, and (when not drinking) navigate the world. I threw a few questions toward Davis, hoping to get inside his head and figure out how he’s feeling about his impending retirement. What follows is our conversation. Hopefully we’ll find a way to reunite
both excited. Reality has yet to sink in. I don’t know when it will. We have lots to do before setting sail next March. We’re pretty busy. PMR: You served as the sales director of
The Log for nearly a year. What did you enjoy during your time with us?
KD: I’ve known The Log for years. I actu-
ally worked with The Log before Duncan owned it. As a boater I’ve always appreciated the content and information that The Log provides. It’s been a pleasure working with you and everyone at The Log. PMR: It’s common knowledge amongst our readers that you live aboard your boat with your wife in Long Beach. You’re living the dream – retiring on your boat and moving to Mexico. What sort of preparations do you have to go through to make this a reality? KD: It’s been a long haul. Making the de-
cision to retire and sail to Mexico was not a tough one, but keeping our focus to this point has been. We’ve had multiple things get in our way, everything from jobs out of state, economic times, to just staying the course. However, the end game is now upon us. We feel the anticipation and excitement mounting. Over the last year and a half, we’ve done
KD: What was the appeal of retiring south of the border? We’ve been going to Mexico for years. We love its culture and its people. The Sea of Cortez is our first stop.
We look forward to enjoying its beauty for at least a few years. PMR: What do you anticipate retired life
to be like?
KD: I have no idea at this point. I look for-
ward to finding out. I’ve told my wife, it’s not a new chapter for us, it’s a whole new book! PMR: Do you think there might come a
time where you have the itch to un-retire and work again? KD: I do not see that happening. Howev-
er, never say never. PMR: Finally, what are your plans in re-
tirement? Any bucket list items you’d like to mark off? KD: Plans are one day at a time. I’ve never

Over the decades, Reinhardt served in numerous capacities at the yacht club, with an emphasis on racing support. He served as the club Treasurer for twenty years. In 1976, the Southern California Yachting Association (SCYA) awarded him the title of Honorary Commodore. In 1988, he received the Ewert Memorial Trophy for distinguished service to SCYA over a long period of time. In 1988, Reinhardt was selected as the Yachtsman of the Year for the Association of Santa Monica Bay Yacht Clubs.

Avalon Harbor Master JJ Poindexter retires

Poindexter worked for the city for 35 years, starting as a trash collector in high school and ending his career as harbor master. By LINDSEY GLASGOW AVALON—Avalon’s Harbor Department said farewell to former Harbor Master James “JJ” Poindexter, who retired Sept. 30 after working for the city for 35 years. He spent the past four years as harbor master. “The city being in the financially difficulty it’s in and 35 years on the job, it just felt like a good time,” Poindexter said. With the economic devastation Covid19 has brought to the island, which relies on tourism for nearly all its business, Poindexter said the city has been faced with a lot of tough financial decisions. “My hope was to retire out and save someone on the bottom end,” Poindexter said. “My heart goes out to Denise and the city. They’re getting pulled in so many directions.” Poindexter was recognized for his many years with the city at the Sept. 15
Lifelong Catalina Island resident James “JJ” Poindexter is now retired from the role of Avalon harbor master. Avalon City Council meeting. “The City Council and city of Avalon express their sincere appreciation and gratitude for JJ’s commitment and dedication to the city and congratulate him on the occasion of his retirement from the city of Avalon and wish him the best and continued success in his retirement and future endeavors,” Mayor Anni Marshall said at the Sept. 15 meeting. Poindexter grew up in Avalon and began his extensive career with the city in 1973, when he was 15 years old, working as a seasonal trash collector at a $2.33 an hour wage. Poindexter stopped working for the city in 1977 but returned in 1989 as a full-time harbor patrol officer.
In 1998 he was promoted to assistant harbor master and held the role of training officer and first aid and CPR/AED instructor for the Harbor Department. In 2017 he was promoted to interim harbor master and later that year took over the role permanently. “I was very lucky to go from trash collector to harbor master,” Poindexter said. During his time with the Harbor Department, he pursued multiple training opportunities, including becoming a certified emergency medical technician (EMT). He also founded Avalon’s volunteer-based search and rescue team. At the Sept. 15 meeting, Poindexter expressed gratitude to the 11 city managers,
eight mayors and four harbor masters he’s worked for over the course of his 35 years with the city, giving a special shoutout to current City Manager Denise Radde. He also expressed gratitude for those he’s worked with at the Harbor Department, Los Angeles County Baywatch paramedics and the Avalon Fire Department. “We’ve had some unbelievable saves,” Poindexter said at the Sept. 15 meeting. Poindexter said he remembers helping rescue a diver near the Isthmus who was in need of CPR. She was rushed to the University of Southern California Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber and fully recovered. “She came back about a month and half later to say thank you and it doesn’t get better than that,” Poindexter said. Orne Carstarphen will serve as the interim harbor master. He has been with the department for 27 years. He started as a part-time harbor patrol officer in 1991 and was hired full-time in 1997. “His water experience is really extensive, which makes him perfect for this job,” Poindexter said. City staff did not return an email from The Log inquiring about the process and timeline for naming a permanent replacement for the harbor master role. As for his retirement plans, Poindexter said he plans to stay on the island where he has lived since he was three days old and where he met his wife in kindergarten. He said he will miss all the calls and making rescues. “Those days of chasing ambulances are over,” Poindexter said.

San Diego port district delays discussion on illegal charters Proponents of the proposed amendment need more time to review certain details of the policy update. By PARIMAL M. ROHIT

SAN DIEGO —The Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners punted on a policy discussion about illegal charter operations. Port staff, according to sources familiar with the proposal, need more time to review some of the possible effects of the proposed charter vessel ordinance. The proposed ordinance was on the board’s Oct. 6 meeting agenda but was pulled from consideration a few hours before commissioners met virtually. Commissioners were set to specifically discuss whether to approve an amendment to the port district’s “Six Pac Charter Vessels” regulation. The proposed amendment would, in an attempt to curb illegal charter operations, give qualified commercial vessel operators an option to use port district venues for their services. Venues would include Shelter Island Guest Dock, Pepper Park in National City, Chula Vista docks and public boat launch ramps. The port district has been regulating Six Pac charter vessel operations since 2001, according to a staff report prepared for the board’s Oct. 6 meeting. The ordinance enacted in 2001 specifically applied to Six Pac charter vessels. Board members were set to consider an amendment to the ordinance on Oct. 6, which would have expanded the ordinance to address all charter vessel operations. “The proposed amendments to existing San Diego Unified Port District … Code … are intended to address all charter vessel operations with the goals of ensuring public safety, protecting consumers, and creating an even playing field for all charter vessel businesses, which include [port] district tenants, subtenants and those charter vessel operators wishing to use district facilities,” a staff report prepared for the board’s Oct. 6 meeting stated. “Charter vessel operators are broadly defined to include whale-watching boats, party boats, special event charters and sportfishing, among many others.” Port district staff has been trying to get ahead of the charter vessel issue for years. “In recent years, members of the commercial boating community have raised concerns about alleged illegal charter vessel operations to be non-compliant with relevant laws and regulations applicable to charter vessel operations and an
inconsistent application of permitting requirements,” port district staff said in a report to board members. “Concerns have included claims of non-compliance with Coast Guard licensing and regulations, lack of adequate insurance, unsafe conditions or operations, lack of an appropriate agreement or any contractual relationship with a marina or sportfishing landing, and avoidance of rent payments to the district for conducting charter vessel operations. “Businesses that do not comply with well-established existing laws and regulations can jeopardize public safety and have an unfair competitive advantage over legitimate charter operators,” port district staff continued. An interagency effort to address illegal charter operations was created in 2018. Community meetings have been held and ordinance amendments drafted since June 2018. The latest iteration of the proposed ordinance amendment would require all charter vessel operations in San Diego Bay to obtain a permit, among other things. “The proposed amendments to UPD Code Section 4.37 will require every charter vessel operation to obtain a Charter Vessel Operations permit … at a nominal annual cost, and pay revenue to the district through a sublease summary or wharfage agreement with a marina or sportfishing landing,” port district staff explained about the proposed ordinance amendment. “Charter vessel operators not conducting business from a marina or sportfishing landing will be required to enter into a license agreement with the district which will provide for the payment of a fee for the use of district facilities.” There are several requirements to obtain and maintain a permit. Those requirements include: A Coast Guard-licensed captain must be aboard; vessel must have a valid Certification of Inspection; vessel operator must be able to provide valid vessel documentation and registration; and, the operator must maintain the vessel’s seaworthiness, among other obligations. Financial penalties could be imposed for anyone found guilty of operating an illegal charter operation. Illegal charter operations in San Diego Bay have consistently been reported by The Log for the past few years. This story will be updated once the matter comes back to the board. No timeline was given as to when port district staff will present the proposed charter vessels ordinance to the board. The board could approve the ordinance amendment as proposed, send the item back to port district staff and direct them to make changes, or reject the proposal altogether and ask for a new proposal.

Boaters who use a credit card to book moorings or pay for other harbor transactions in Avalon will now pay an added 3.99 percent fee. AVALON UPDATE
Avalon to charge processing fee on all credit card transactions for harbor service charges In an effort to make up lost revenues due to Covid-19, the city proposed passing along the 3.99 percent fee on credit card transactions for harbor service charges to users; the city had previously absorbed the cost. By LINDSEY GLASGOW AVALON—Boaters who book moorings in
Avalon Harbor using a credit card will now pay an additional 3.99 percent fee to cover the cost of the transaction. The city proposed adding the 3.99 percent credit card processing fee for harbor transactions to the Fiscal Year 20202021 Miscellaneous Fee Schedule. A public hearing on the proposed increase was held at the Oct. 6 Avalon City Council meeting and unanimously approved by the Council. According to a staff report, after an extensive review of the city budget, it was determined establishing a credit card processing fee on harbor transactions would help offset approximately $30,000 annually in expenses that would otherwise be absorbed by the Harbor Fund. “What this essentially would do is if somebody wanted to pay with a credit
card for any harbor service charge, nightly mooring, there would be a 3.99 percent added charge for the use of the credit card,” Avalon Finance Director Matthew Baker said at the Oct. 6 City Council meeting. The city has historically absorbed the 3.99 percent credit card processing fee and budgeted to cover the costs. “It’s not like the city is making money when someone uses a credit card, we’re just passing the total cost of the processing fee to the credit card user,” Baker said. Boaters can still use cash or check to avoid paying the new fee. No public comments were submitted during the public hearing. Mayor Anni Marshall questioned why it was only proposed to apply to the harbor and no other city services. The city charges fees for services and programs provided by various other departments including recreation; planning and building; fire, law and code enforcement, cemetery, finance/administrative services and public works. However, credit cards are not accepted for many of those payments, with recreation being an exception. Baker said recreation does accept credit cards and the city does absorb the cost for the credit card fees. “Relative to the credit card fees we collect in the harbor, the amount we collect in rec fees is nominal and because it’s a different payment provider, we’d have to change the way we collect,” Baker said. Baker said the credit card fees in the harbor are approximately $30,000 a year while recreation credit card fees total a couple thousand dollars a year. The city uses two different third-party providers for harbor and recreation payment collection. “It is my goal to accept credit cards for other transactions at City Hall,” Baker said. “Likely if we were to do something at City Hall, it may be a different system so we may have to come back if there is a different process.”

NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND —
We’re still a way away from the next iteration of The Ocean Race, but 11th Hour Racing is already making moves to challenge – and possibly beat – the field of competitors. One of those moves: overseeing the completion of the boat the team will use in the race.
Team skipper Charlie Enright and CEO Mark Towill announced they assembled a group of offshore sailing experts to conceptualize, design and build the new 11th Hour Racing boat. The collaborative venture will ultimately result in the completion of the IMOCA 60, which is being built in Brittany, France. The boat is expected to be ready in time for The Ocean Race 2022-23. Guillaume Verdier, a yacht designer who provided his serv ices to A merica’s Cup and Vendée Globe winners, is designing the IMOCA 60. The technical and performance aspects of the IMOCA 60 are being overseen by MerConcept and offshore racing veteran François Gabart. (Gabart won
the Vendée Globe race in 2022.) CDK Technologies, which is based out of Larient and Portla-Forêt, France, is building the IMOCA 60. “When we learned that The Ocean Race was going to be open to a development class we jumped at the opportunity,” Enright said in a released statement. “We’ve done two laps of the planet now in the one-design Volvo Ocean 65s and are very excited to take this next step in the Race with a custom design and build process.” The designers and builders are crafting the IMOCA 60 specifically for The Ocean Race’s racecourse, which feature 10 stopovers and multiple equator crossings. The boat is also being designed to allow for five crew
(four men, one woman), an onboard reporter and heading-only autopilot. Enright and Towill said the design process began in June 2019. The IMOCA 60 is now having its hull completed. Next up for CDK Technologies: the deck structure. 11th Hour Racing’s sustainability team, meanwhile, is
We are very excited to take this next step in the Race with a custom design and build process.” — Team skipper Charlie Enright overseeing the environmental impact of the build process. The Ocean Race, which debuted in 1973, pits yachts in a race around the world. The race takes place every three to four
years. It was originally known as the Whitbread Round the World Race before changing its name in 2001 as Volvo Ocean Race. Organizers changed the name again in 2019 to The Ocean Race. The 2022-23 race star ts in Alicante, Spain and makes stops at the following locations: Cape Verde; Cape Town, South Africa; Shenzhen, China; Auckland, New Zealand; Itajaí, Brazil; Newport, Rhode Island; Aarhus, Denmark; and, The Hague, Netherlands. Genoa, Italy, is the race’s grand finale and finish line. D o n g f e n g R a c e Te a m (China) is the defending champion; the team won the 201718 race, which began in Alicante and end in the Hague. The race’s stopovers were at Lisbon (Portugal), Cape Town (South Africa). Melbourne (Australia), Guangzhou (China), Hong Kong (China), Auckland (New Zealand), Itajaí, Newport, Cardiff (United Kingdon) and Gothenburg (Sweden).

New York Yacht Club decommissions ‘Defiant’
By PARIMAL M. ROHIT NEW YORK—Defiant, the first AC75 used by New York Yacht Club American Magic at the 36th America’s Cup, has been decommissioned, it was announced on Oct. 3. The AC75 began its final year of sailing and testing in September 2019, in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Defiant was then taken to Pensacola, Florida before ending up in Auckland, New Zealand. “The planned conclusion of Defiant’s testing lifecycle follows a stretch of sailing that began in September 2019 in
Portsmouth, Rhode Island, continued on to Pensacola, Florida, and ended in Auckland after 12 months of hard testing and unprecedented performance,” an official statement published by American Magic stated. “Following Defiant’s decommissioning, the full attention and resources of the team have been directed towards the pre-launch preparations for its second AC75, Patriot.” Defiant was the first AC75, worldwide, to foil and sail in late 2019. The sailboat was used during training exercises to provide American Magic team members with data they could use to design Patriot. “Defiant has been an absolutely perfect tool for us to use in the development process,” Terry Hutchinson, American Magic’s skipper and executive director, said in a released statement. “With every one of these programs you run through certain developmental phases. With this type of boat, with the foils and the sails
and the hull forms and the systems inside the boat all being incredibly complicated, it’s been a great platform for us to learn on and to understand the strengths and America’s Cup photo

weaknesses of our team.” American Magic intended to use Defiant in a few international competitions this year, even though the vessel was never intended to be used “as a fully optimized racing yacht.” She was scheduled to compete in America’s Cup World Series regattas in Cagliari (Italy) and Portsmouth (United Kingdom), but Covid-19 forced those events to be canceled. “While we haven’t been able to do any racing against another boat, we have done plenty of race simulation laps now, while learning what you can and can’t do [in the AC75],” American Magic helmsman Dean Barker said in a published statement. “I think we’ve been very lucky with the team that we’ve got, and the way they’ve kept the boat in one piece. We’ve managed to maintain a reasonable amount of reliability over the last few weeks in New Zealand. That’s allowed us to be a lot more productive on the water.” Patriot is nearing her launch date in Auckland, according to American Magic staff. The 36th America’s Cup will take place in Auckland, New Zealand, in early 2021. Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron is the defending club.

Stakeholders must factor in economic sustainability, food security, biodiversity protection and restoration, enduring conservation, climate resilience and equitable access for recreational activities into their recommended strategies. “The state’s long-term vitality is threatened by the loss of biodiversity – the variety and variability of plant and animal life in our state – and the impacts of climate change,” Newsom said in his Executive Order. “The well-being of our communities and California’s economic sustainability are interconnected with our natural and cultural resources.” The Order added the state’s

SACRAMENTO —A proposal to expand t he C a l i f or n i a O c e a n R e s ou r c e s Enhancement and Hatchery Program (OREHP) to include any marine fish species considered to be important to commercial and sport fishing was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sept. 30. The bill – Assembly Bill 1949 – made it out of the Assembly and State Senate in late August. Details of the program’s expansion would be based upon stakeholder review and input. The bill’s author, Assembly Member Tasha Boerner Horvath, D-Encinitas, said the bill could benefit depleted marine fish species. “The Hubbard Marine Fish Hatchery in Carlsbad is the only saltwater marine fish hatchery on the West Coast. The goal of the hatchery program is to develop culture techniques for depleted marine fish species and to produce offspring for use in the OREHP,” Boerner Horvath said, according to the latest legislative analysis of AB 1949. “AB 1949 seeks to expand the program to include any marine fishing species for sport and commercial fishing. “The bill would also update the provisions related to the advisory panel to provide for more public participation
and stakeholder engagement,” Boerner Horvath continued. “In addition, the bill would expand [the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s] contracting authority by allowing [the department] to contract with any public or private entity to conduct research projects.” A legislative analysis of AB 1949 said the bill’s costs are unknown but could be significant. The Department of Fish and Wildlife anticipates the first year of implementing the expansion of OREHP would be $135,000, and $124,000 every year after that to cover a scientific advisory committee, reporting and public meeting requirements. California established the OREHP in 1983 as part of a goal to release hatchery-grown fish to “restore depleted marine fish populations,” according to the most recent legislative analysis of AB 1949. “Initially, research was focused on California halibut and white sea bass,” the legislative analysis stated. “However, research eventually focused exclusively on white sea bass because of the depressed condition of the stock and its higher value to both recreation and commercial fisheries. “The primary hatchery facility for OREHP activities is the Hubbard Marine Hatchery in Carlsbad,” the legislative analysis continued. “Personnel from Hubbs SeaWorld Research Institute … are contracted to operate the fish hatchery in Carlsbad. More than two million white sea bass have been released as a result of the OREHP.” Sales of ocean enhancement validations and sportfishing licenses by the Department of Fish and Wildlife helps fund the OREHP; funding also comes from the Federal Sportfish Restoration Act. “As of 2019, the OREHP fund had a balance of more than $3 million with an annual budget of about $1.5 million,” the Assembly’s most recent legislative analysis stated.

Ocean Resources Enhancement and Hatchery Program expanded
NEWPORT BEACH—Fall fishing is in full effect – and the first massive catch of the season appears to have already been recorded. Newport Landing Whale Watching reported a 364.5-pound bluefin catch aboard one of its fleet during a two-date sportfishing charter in late September. The tuna was reeled aboard Thunderbird out of Newport Landing and measured 81 inches by 61 inches, according to Jessica Roame, the education programs manager with Newport Landing Whale Watching. Angler Adonis Soriano caught the
fish and brought it over the rails after a 45-minute fight. Roame said the tuna is a record catch for the Newport Landing fleet. “A special 18-passenger charter landed a huge 364.5-pound bluefin tuna (81 inches by 61 inches), which is a personal record for the Thunderbird vessel and the largest tuna ever caught for the Newport Landing and Davey’s Locker boats since our vessels began running fishing trips in 62 years of operation,” Roame said in an email to The Log. The Thunderbird charter, which left Newport Beach on Sept. 27 and returned on Sept. 29, reeled in 65 bluefin (seven at 100+ pounds and four at 200+ pounds) and one 60-pound yellowfin.

Scripps Institution of Oceanography will receive $399,998 for the 2020 fiscal year, as part of an effort to create a regional hub for harmful algal bloom monitoring and research. FISHING NEWS UPDATES

Scripps Institution of Oceanography receives funding for harmful algal bloom research By PARIMAL M. ROHIT WASHINGTON, D.C.—Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego was one of five organizations to be awarded federal funding for a harmful algal bloom community technology accelerator, it was recently announced. The accelerator would create a regional hub for harmful algal bloom monitoring and research. Scripps and its partners will specifically receive $399,998 for the 2020 fiscal year. The total funding for the project is $1,193,561. Funding was provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, or NOAA, and covers the project’s timeline of Sept. 2020 to Aug. 2023. The other organizations in the group are Axiom Data Science LLC, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, UC Santa Cruz, and Central and Norther California Ocean Observing System. “Harmful Algal Blooms … are persistent threats to coastal resources, local economies, and human and animal health throughout U.S. waters,” a summary of the accelerator pitch stated. “There is an immediate need for more effective strategies to monitor and communicate the risk of algal toxins to human and ecosystem health in U.S. waters. The overarching goal of this project is to establish a California regional hub for harmful algal bloom … data, technology and knowledge transfer.” NOAA awarded $11.6 million overall for harmful algal bloom research, to be conducted nationwide during the next three to five years. “These funding decisions represent a coordinated effort to maximize advances in harmful algal bloom monitoring and forecasting,” NOAA staff stated.

SAN DIEGO—We are well into the
2020 fall fishing season and Southern California ocean anglers have been enjoying a good start to the fall season. On the offshore fishing grounds there are bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, skipjack, dorado, yellowtail, striped marlin and swordfish biting. At the Coronado Islands there are big bonito, calico bass, rockfish and a few yellowtail biting. Anglers fishing along the San Diego County coast have been having fun catching mixed size bonito, calico bass, sculpin, rockfish, whitefish and an occasional yellowtail.
Bluefin tuna continue to highlight the offshore fishing and have been providing the possibility of hooking jumbo sized bluefin that are up in the 300-pound class. Most of the bluefin are currently in the 25- to 60-pound range but the jumbo-sized fish are still in the mix. The current hot spot is in the region of the deep water inside of the Tanner Bank with boats catching fish by drifting on meter marks and sonar marks that are being found in an area ranging from the deep water to the northeast of the high spot on up to the deep water to northwest of the high spot.

Redondo Beach earns partial legal victory against waterfront developer
By LINDSEY GLASGOW REDONDO BEACH—The city of Redondo
Beach recently defended itself against a lawsuit filed against it by a developer, as a local court dismissed most of a a motion related to vesting rights in the waterfront area previously slated to be redeveloped by CenterCal’s Redondo Beach Waterfront LLC (RBW). Ongoing litigation between the developer and the city since 2017 has placed improvements to the area on pause, including efforts to establish a new boat launch ramp. The city had an agreement with RBW for a redevelopment project on Redondo’s harbor front but the project was halted in 2017 after voters passed Measure C, a ballot measure which restricted waterfront development in the city, and after the City Council decided to cancel a lease agreement with the company. RBW filed several lawsuits against the city in an effort to move the project forward and to seek compensation for money previously invested in the project. One of those lawsuits, filed in April 2019, came after the city granted a license for the BeachLife Festival, a three-day music festival at Redondo’s Seaside Lagoon. RBW argued they still had vested rights for their planned redevelopment project, which included Seaside Lagoon. In response, the city filed a demurer, an objection claiming an opponent’s point is irrelevant or invalid. In a July 20 ruling, the Los Angeles County Superior Court sided with the city on two of three of the city’s demurer arguments, essentially ruling there was no evidence RBW had a reasonable expectation of an ongoing relationship with the city. The overturn-

Redondo Beach Waterfront LLC, a CenterCal Properties subsidiary, sued the city claiming they still have vested rights for their planned 524,000-squarefoot harbor village.
ing of one of the city’s demurer arguments does leave room for RBW to seek monetary damages. A series of other lawsuits involving the two parties are still active, including one refuting certification of Measure C, one seeking millions in damages and another against individual council members. Redondo Beach had been working with RBW to develop the aging waterfront area since about 2010. In 2016, RBW was granted development rights for a $300 to $400 million makeover of a 36-acre portion of the waterfront. Plans included a 524,000-square-foot “harbor village” of retail shops, creative offices, a hotel, movie theater, market hall, parking structures and a reconfigured Seaside Lagoon. There were also hopes a new boat launch ramp would also be part of the development. The project faced a wave of opposition from critics who said the project was too big, commercialized public land and would create a traffic nightmare. A group of residents who opposed the project drafted Measure C, which was approved by Los Angeles County and appeared on the ballot in 2017. The measure passed on a 57 percent majority. Redondo Beach City Council member Nils Nehrenheim, one of the leading opponents of RBW’s plans, said the recent July ruling will allow them move forward with leasing out properties and making improvements to the waterfront. He said the city will resume discussions on how to improve the waterfront as part of the city’s strategic planning in October. Input submitted from the Harbor Commission to the City Council in March related to the city’s 10-year goal planning suggested adding the goal of developing and implementing a comprehensive, integrated, resident approved planned for the entire Redondo Beach Waterfront (the harbor and pier areas) including the AES and SCE site. “Our chance to develop the harbor area is a once-in-a-lifetime (or longer) opportunity and deserves the highest level of attention from city leadership, staff and residents,” the Harbor Commission wrote to the City Council in March. The Harbor Commission also outlined six-month goals to work with the City Council on, including creating a harbor master plan which included settling disputes with CenterCal and Westport Capital to move forward with harbor revitalization, holding a public workshop on a new boat launch ramp, and several specific goals related to sea level rise. The next city strategic planning session has been scheduled for 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Oct. 29.

The owner of the Peter’s Landing marina in Huntington Harbour sought a permit to build two public fishing piers, which were required by the original Coastal Development Permit granted in 1979 but had never been built. By LINDSEY GLASGOW LONG BEACH —The California Coastal
Commission at their Oct. 7 meeting approved an amended permit to establish public fishing improvements, pocket marsh enhancement, and eelgrass planting within Peter’s Landing marina in Huntington Harbour. The project was proposed to resolve a violation stemming from the original Coastal Development Permit (CDP) approved for Peter’s Landing in the late 1970s. The CDP included the marina, landside commercial development and condominium complexes on either side of the commercial center. As part of the
Coastal Commission’s original approval of the Peter’s Landing project, two public fishing piers were required to be provided in the marina. However, those piers were never built. The marina portion of Peter’s Landing got a new owner in the late 1990s who has been working to address the violation, according to Coastal Commission enforcement staff. At their Oct. 7 meeting, the Coastal Commission unanimously approved a proposed amendment to the CDP establishing a public fishing platform and a public fishing dock, and other enhancements. “We feel this permit presents an opportunity to craft a creative solution to this longstanding public access violation,” said California Coastal Commission Enforecement Officer Jordan Sanchez at the Oct. 7 meeting. The proposed fishing dock will be a 14-foot-by-10-foot platform created by widening the end of an existing dock finger at the northern end of Dock A. The proposed expansion of the existing boat dock finger to accommodate the fishing dock will eliminate one side tie boat dock space. The proposed public fishing platform will be located on an existing, 20-foot by 5-foot “pop-out” on the existing pub-

A recently approved Coastal Development Permit will allow for a public fishing platform and a public fishing dock to be built at Peter’s Landing Marina. lic walkway along the bulkhead that cantilevers over the marina waters between Docks D and E. The fishing platform will provide an opportunity to fish the interior of the marina. Both fishing areas will include a bench, lighting, and fishing line recycling and trash receptacles. The project also includes five informational and interpretive signs which will direct the public to the fishing areas, provide health warnings regarding consumption of fish from the harbor, management of trash, restrictions on discharges, notices for safety and protection of public and private property, and prohibitions on fish cleaning and disposal of fishing wastes on site. The marina operator also proposed additional measures intended to enhance the fishing experience. These include a small coastal salt marsh restoration and
eelgrass planting project within the marina to provide foraging areas, breeding areas, protective nurseries and shelter to young fish and invertebrates, and spawning surfaces for fish, shellfish, crustaceans and other animals. In addition, both habitat types improve water quality by filtering runoff and excess nutrients. Also proposed were Marina Trash Skimmers, which have been installed beneath the boat docks located at the interior corners of the marina. The skimmers operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, capturing floating debris and other contaminants, like surface oil. Each skimmer can remove up to 500 pounds of trash per month. Other proposed water quality enhancements include a prohibition on fish cleaning and disposal of fishing wastes at the site.
