Man on surfboard rescued after three days at sea; says he fell off cruise ship
By LINDSEY GLASGOW MARBELLA, SPAIN—A bizarre rescue in the Mediterranean Sea
Salvamento Maritimo Twitter photo
by Salvamento Maritimo, a sea search and rescue agency that operates in Spain, has the internet wondering more about a man found floating fully-dressed on a surfboard about 10 miles off the coast of Spain. The 55-year-old man told authorities he had fallen off a cruise ship three days prior, but details about what exactly happened remain unclear. On Aug. 24, crew members aboard a yacht alerted rescuers after spotting the man, about 10 miles south-west of the coast of Marbella. Rescuers aboard a search-and-rescue vessel named Salvamar Vega came to the man’s rescue and took him to Estepona Port, where an ambulance was waiting to drive him to a local health center to be treated for hypothermia. “Salvamar Vega yesterday rescued and took to Estepona a man discovered by a yacht 10 miles south-west of Marbella,” a tweet from Salvamento Maritimo translated into English read. “He was adrift on a surfboard. The man who was rescued said he had been at sea for three days after falling from a ship.” In response to the tweet, one twitter user said, “Where did that life jacket come from? If it’s the cruise ship, did he fall from the boat with a life jacket on? Name of boat should be on jacket!” The 55-year-old man has not been identified, but local news outlets reported he was British. According to The Sun, police were expected to question the man about what happened once he recovers.
A man found floating on a surfboard in the Mediterranean Sea 10 miles off the coast is safe after a rescue effort.

Letters/Online Comments RE: “Large gust dismasts
former America Cup racing yacht ‘Stars & Stripes’” (AUG. 21- SEPT. 3)
I find it hard to accept that a 17-mile gust in a 30 in a different direction would cause this catostrophic failure!!! There had to be a contributing failure of mast that went unnoticed. — Rich Knauer Not a gust issue. Miss management of the running back stays while maneuvering is the most obvious cause. — John Guenther I think I remember the Australian boat of this design era breaking
in half and sinking in about 45 seconds. So, while these boats were pretty to watch sailing by, the extremes to which they pushed their construction were stupid. S-o-o-o, I guess you could say these boats were pretty, stupid. Sorry – couldn’t resist. — Brett Haring Ummm – a gust to 17 mph is barely a gust and I should hope this was the “first time it happened” because if this was a regularly occurrence, they shouldn’t be on the water. Perhaps a bit of boating knowledge would help the reporting. — Mindbottled

FAST FACTS
Playing slots at June Lake By PARIMAL M. ROHIT JUNE L AKE—Mono County is
known for its Eastern Sierra trout fishing, and June Lake is a well-traveled destination for freshwater anglers. Once upon a time the June Lake region was also a place where you could play slot machines. Gambling was allowed in California during the 1930s and 1940s. Gambling boats sat on the Pacific Ocean near Los Angeles and Santa Monica during this time, for example. A website managed by the
June Lake Loop Historical Society slot machines and draw poker were commonplace activities in this quite corner of Mono County. California had delegated the decision of whether to allow gambling activities to specific counties. Mono County, according to the June Lake Loop Historical Society, agreed to allow slot machines and draw poker, so long as these gambling activities did not occur in the county seat of Bridgeport. A group of businessmen decided to bring slots and poker to the June Lake area. They built up several casino outfits in the
county, with as many as 150 slot machines. Slot machines would soon become illegal, however, with legislators in Sacramento outlawing them by the 1950s (although today slot machines are allowed in California, but only on tribal properties). The June Lake Loop Historical Society said some of these slot machines ended up at the bottom of June Lake, soon after the gambling contraptions were outlawed. June Lake, itself, was discovered during the Gold Rush era. A power plant was established in the area in 1915, with a fishing camp established a little while later at nearby Silver Lake. The region, in the 1920s, was a hot spot for auto tours. It was also a destination for Hollywood personalities in the 1930s.

QUESTION:
My husband and I joined a yacht charter boat ownership program last year and purchased a relatively expensive sailboat to be placed in charter in Mexico. We were chartering her through a guaranteed income program, being promised a minimum cash flow each month throughout the five-year term of the agreement. Unfortunately, delivery of the boat coincided with the shutdown caused by the COVID pandemic, and the charter company sent a letter to all boat owners in the program that they would not be able to pay the guaranteed income until the shutdown was lifted. Notwithstanding the pandemic, we have learned the boat is now being placed almost continually in charter, but we have not received any income and they are taking the best years of our boat. The contract we signed stated the agreement was null and void if either party failed to perform according to the charter agreement. Since they have failed to pay us any of the guaranteed income, they appear to have broken the contract. What would be the legal ramifications of us taking the boat out of charter?

ANSWER: Our reader has a couple issues playing out here but based on her description of the actions of the charter management company it is clear it (the management company) has breached their contract. Based on that breach, she can probably take the boat out of charter, but she may also have other remedies. Charter management companies around the world advertise the benefits of owning a charter boat. Those benefits often include the use of other boats in their fleet, offsetting the costs of ownership, and in the case of our reader, a guaranteed income in addition to the cost offset. But, as with most contracts, it pays to read the fine print of the agreement. The terms of a charter management agreement will vary significantly depending on the particular company that is managing the charter fleet, and the boat owner’s rights and remedies will depend on the language of that agreement.

California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife will spend the next 12 months determining whether the Pacific leatherback sea turtle warrants the protections of the California Endangered Species Act. and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found that all seven leatherback sea turtle populations remain endangered and denied a petition by the commercial fishing industry to relax some protections.” Entanglement and drowning in longline gear are cited as common reasons for the species’ population decline. The urgency for threatened or endangered status, however, appeared to increase in October 2019, when the Trump administration allowed for longline fishing off the California coast. Longlines can stretch up to 60 miles in length and have thousands of baited hookes attached. “Each year from mid-summer through the fall, leatherback sea turtles, having completed a journey of thousands of

S AC R A ME N TO —A plan to place the Pacific leatherback sea turtle on the California Endangered Species List was approved by the state’s Fish and Game Commission in mid-August. The petition urging California to take steps to grant the Pacific leatherback sea turtle protections under state law was brought to the Fish and Game Commission by the Center for Biological Diversity and Turtle Island Restoration Network. The unique turtle species is now a candidate for threatened or endangered status under the California Endangered Species Act, thanks to all five members of the Fish and Game Commission voting in favor of the petition. Pacific leatherback sea turtles are generally present in or near California waters in spring, summer and fall months. California’s beaches, according to the petition filed with the state’s Fish and Game Commission, has become a nesting grounds for the Pacific leatherback sea turtle. “A new review of leatherback sea turtle science released last week concludes that West Pacific leatherbacks, one of seven distinct populations of leatherback sea turtles world-wide, face a high extinction risk,” Center for Biological Diversity staff said in a released statement. “The National Marine Fisheries Service

ing,” the petition stated. “Vessels participating in California-managed fisheries may apply for an incidental take permit, which would be required unless a federal incidental take statement exists. This will require state and federal cooperation in addressing threats to leatherback sea turtles.” Annalisa Batanides Tuel, a policy and advocacy manager with Turtle Island Restoration Network, said the Pacific leatherback sea turtle is on the verge of extinction due to man-made threats. She told commissioners the Pacific leatherback sea turtle has been in a pop-
ulation decline since the 1980s. The population has specifically declined 90 percent during the previous four decades, according to the petition to list the Pacific leatherback sea turtle as an endangered or threatened species. “The primary threats to the survival of the species include drowning in industrial fishing gear, especially the longline gillnet gear, entanglement in vertical lines and groundfish pots, Dungeness crab traps and other forms of marine debris,” Tuel said. Tuel added the Pacific leatherback sea turtle population will remain stagnant if only one leatherback dies per year. The population will be in decline if two or more Pacific leatherback sea turtles die
per year, she added. “Just in the past five years, we already had three interactions in between fisheries and Pacific leatherbacks in California waters – two of which resulted in leatherback deaths,” Tuel said. “Now is the time to increase protections and ensure the protection of the species.” Tuel emphasized there is little that could be done to protect Pacific leatherback sea turtles in international waters, but California should allow for as many protections as possible once the species enters the state’s jurisdiction. The Pacific leatherback sea turtle is unique in that it is the only turtle species with a soft shell. Adult leatherbacks can measure up to 7 feet in length and
weigh nearly 2,000 pounds once mature. The species could experience a 96 percent population loss by 2040. “An estimated 50 West Pacific leatherbacks forage in California waters annually, as compared to 178 West Pacific leatherbacks during the years 1990-2003,” Center for Biological Diversity staff said in a released statement. California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife will now begin a one-year review process to determine whether the Pacific leatherback sea turtle warrants protection under the California Endangered Species Act. The act’s protections will be applied to the species during the review process, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.

and single air chamber floating devices customarily found in swimming pools, including but not limited to air mattresses and floating chairs,” the ordinance stated. “Furthermore, no person shall use a surfboard, boogie board, or similar device, propelled through the use of hydrofoil, or similar machine propelled technology, in the channel or harbor entrance” The ordinance received unanimous approval from the committee but will need City Council approval before taking effect. Oceanside Harbor Manager Ted Schiafone said the restriction on surfboards, boogie boards and similar watercraft had been in the Harbor Code for decades. He said when the code was modified back in 2016 to allow standup paddleboards (SUPs) and kayaks in the harbor, somehow the restriction on surfboards, boogie boards and similar watercraft were inadvertently deleted. “All this is doing is adding those watercrafts back in the code as a restriction,” Schiafone said in an email. Schiafone said there has been an explosion of activity in the harbor including people on surf boards and boogie boards. However, he said Harbor Police have not had the ability to restrict them, because the code was lacking the language. He went on to say boats with engines running and surfers simply do not mix. “Boat operators have trouble seeing them due to obstructions in and around the water, and poor visibility of the small fraction of the person that is above the water’s surface,” Schiafone said in an email. “Same reason applies to not allowing vessels in the swim/surf areas of the beach. Swimming in the Harbor or Harbor Inlet is already restricted by code.” SUPs and kayaks are not affected by this proposed ordinance. SUPs and kayaks were prohibited in Oceanside Harbor until 2016. The City Council in 2016 unanimously approved changes to the Municipal Code to allow for the human powered crafts, which also included surf skis, outrigger canoes, dinghies, inflatable boats and pedal-boats.

NCE CONCEPTI E YEAR SI ON • • ON
Victims Remembered A S IN V E STIGATION R E SULTS EX PECTED

A plaque bearing the names of those lost in the dive boat fire was unveiled. The National Transportation Safety Board, meanwhile, plans to hold a meeting to consider results of its investigation. By LINDSEY GLASGOW
SANTA BARBAR A —It’s been one year since the deadly Conception dive boat fire, and the 34 victims will forever be engrained on the Santa Barbara Waterfront and in the hearts of many, remembered for their shared love of adventure and the ocean.
What sparked the flames on the 75-foot commercial diving vessel on Sept. 2, 2019 remains under investigation. On Aug. 31, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced a board meeting will be held on Oct. 20, when the results of the agency’s investigation are expected be released. NTSB, in a released statement, said its five-member board will vote on the findings, probable cause and recommendations, as well as any changes to the draft final report. The announcement came just two days before the one-year anniversary of the fire, a day the Santa Barbara Waterfront unveiled a permanent place for the victims in the harbor, the location Conception departed from. In an online event on Sept. 2, the Waterfront Department unveiled a plaque bearing the names of the 33 passengers and one crew member who died in the tragedy.
The virtual event included recorded video messages by local officials and photos and names of the victims’, some of which were read by family members. The plaque is now part of the Lost at Sea Memorial at the end of the harbor breakwater. “Maybe it offers some bit of solace in that they will be remembered, their names will always be out here,” Christopher Bell, Administrative analyst and Public Information Officer for the Santa Barbara Waterfront, said. A large temporary makeshift memorial made up of photos, messages, flowers, scuba gear and other items that had been growing on Sea Landing since the tragedy was also moved the Lost at Sea Memorial. “Rest in Peace Marybeth Guiney. Daughter, Sister, Friend, Unrelenting adventurer, ardent diver, New England Patriots Fan, Lover of wildlife, oceans,
sharks and wine,” a note written on a photo of a young woman posing with a dolphin read. Some family members and friends gathered at the plaque on Sept. 2 while others gathered aboard Condor Express for a visit to the site of the deadly fire and for a memorial dive. Harbor
“It took a toll emotionally, on my partner and I, because when we go out, we’re in the mindset of rescuing not recovering,” Harbor Patrol Officer Kelly said.
Patrol Officer Ryan Kelly, who responded to the boat fire with his partner Officer Karl Halamicek, was onboard, invited by some of the families.
A plaque bearing the names of the 34 individuals killed in the Sept. 2, 2019 Conception boat fire is now a part of the Santa Barbara Lost at Sea Memorial. “I was a little apprehensive because I hadn’t met any of the families yet,” Kelly said. “Are they going to be upset that we didn’t do more? And it was just the opposite, we were really welcomed with open arms.” Kelly said it was a foggy, dark night on Sept. 2, 2019, when they were called out of bed. He said they weren’t given too much information on the 22-mile ride to Platts Harbor off Santa Cruz Island where Conception was anchored, but as they approached and saw the bright glow, he said his heart sank. “It took a toll emotionally, on my partner and I, because when we go out, we’re in the mindset of rescuing not recovering,” Kelly said. Conception was a popular diving boat owned by Santa Barbara-based Truth Aquatics, and was familiar to many, including Kelly. Conception was the first boat Kelly ever worked on as he
began pursuing the credentials for a career as a Harbor Patrol officer in his mid-twenties. “That’s really where I cut my teeth learning how to be a mariner,” Kelly said. “I knew the captain really well. The image of his face afterwards is really burned into my memory because I’ve never seen a more despondent look on anyone’s face.” While the cause of the blaze has not yet been definitively established, the safety of the boat was brought into question after the deadly disaster, including concerns about the use of power strips for the purpose of recharging lithium ion batteries for camera gear, cellphones and other equipment. A few days after the fire, the U.S. Coast Guard issued a safety bulletin, that included a warning to passenger boat operators to consider limiting battery charging and excessive use of power strips.

bers, they tried to rescue those who were trapped below before abandoning attempts once the conditions became too dangerous. Truth Aquatics filed a lawsuit under the Limitation of Liability Act of 1851, which says the owner of any ship can limit damage claims to the value of the ship’s remains if they can prove they had no knowledge of any dangerous flaws. At least two lawsuits have been filed against Truth Aquatics. The Oct. 20 NTSB meeting will be open to the public via webcast. A link to the meeting will be available at ntsb.windrosemedia.com/. The meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. EST. The fire is also being investigated by several other agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation.
Randa Coniglio steps away after 20 years of service at port district, including the past five years as chief executive. By PARIMAL M. ROHIT S A N D I E G O —Randa Coniglio, who
has served as the president and CEO of the Port of San Diego since 2015, announced her retirement plans on Sept. 8. The search for her successor is officially underway. Coniglio was the first woman to serve as port district president in its 57-year history. The official retirement date has not yet been set. Coniglio will continue to oversee port district operations while helping search for her successor, according to a press release issued by the Port of San Diego. Coniglio said the time is right for retirement, since she wants to focus on being a grandmother. “I intend to work together with my board to facilitate the smoothest possible transition,” Coniglio said in a released statement. “I’m going to be flexible with my departure date to give the Board of Port Commissioners whatever time they may need to select our next CEO. As soon as my successor is in place, I’ll be ready to move on to the next phase of my life, knowing that the Port is in good hands.” An official statement issued by the port district about Coniglio’s planned ret i rement out li ned a few of her accomplishments. Those accomplishments included a revitalized Seaport Village, development of Portside Pier and modernization of the
Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal (thanks to a $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation). The port district also welcomed back the Intercontinental Hotel, which opened on the North Embarcadero in 2018, under Coniglio’s watch. Coniglio was also instrumental in the launch of the “Blue Economy Incubator,” which, according to port district staff, supports entrepreneurship, fosters sustainable aquaculture and drives blue tech innocation. “We’re proud that we chose Randa, the Port’s first female president in its 57year history, Anne Moore, who serves as chair of the port district’s board of commissioners, said. “We have our work cut out for us because Randa has done a remarkable job and she will be a tough act to follow. We did a nationwide recruitment in 2014 and we’ll take the same approach now. The Port of San Diego is a regional focus for recreation, tourism and industry, so the people of our region deserve the best.” Coniglio has been with the port since 2000, when she was hired as a real estate asset manager. She eventually became the executive vice president for port operations; the port district elevated her to CEO and president in 2015. The office of president and CEO oversees the port district’s 500 employees and 14,000-plus acres of tidelands, bay and beaches. Moore will lead the search committee for Coniglio’s successor. Also sitting on the search committee will be commissioners Michael Zucchet and Dan Malcolm. Coniglio is one of three employees who directly work with the Board of Port Commissioners to implement the commission’s policy decisions and enacted legislation; the other two employees are the port counsel and port auditor.

The design of the boat has also come under scrutiny. The lower berthing area, where all victims were asleep, could be accessed by stairwell and had one emergency escape hatch located above the top level of a bunk bed. Both the hatch and the stairwell opened into the galley, which was engulfed in flames. Coast Guard records show the boat had passed its two most recent safety inspections without violations. A preliminary report also found there was no roving watch as required by the U.S. Coast Guard during the hours when passengers were asleep below deck. According to a preliminary report, all six crew members were asleep when the fire broke out. Five crew members were sleeping above the deck and survived the fire by jumping from the boat.

Dennis said he lived aboard for five years with his son and over the years, he’s cruised a little, mostly to Catalina, Los Angeles and the south zone. Paradise now resides at the
Silver Gate Yacht Club in San Diego. Dennis said he sailed and raced her single handed in club races until Covid-19 put the brakes on racing. “I turned 85 this year and other than being a little slower tacking around the buoys, racing still gets my adrenalin pumping,” he said in an email to The Log.

It was conceptualized in 2018 by loanDepot Founder and CEO, Anthony Hsieh, who is also owner and leader of Team Bad Company, a record-holding competitive sportfishing fleet. “Now more than ever, Veterans nationwide need assistance and support,” Hsieh said in a released statement. “These unprecedented times have been difficult for many, but are especially challenging for Vets, as they are currently isolated from many of their regular activities, routines and support systems.” He said the event planned for Newport Beach Harbor will have an abundance of safety precautions in place and allow Veterans involved in past years’ tournament to reconnect and feel the love and support of the community. “Despite the challenges of the pan-

Anacapa Island Landing Cove dock to be replaced Channel Islands National Park is planning to remove and replace the deteriorating dock. By CATHERINE FRENCH VENTURA —Channel Islands
National Park, on Sept. 8, announced plans to remove the old Landing Cove dock at Anacapa Island to improve is ease of access and improved safety when disembarking to the island. Pa rk Super int endent Ethan McKinley said this is the beginning of the design planning process. The park is asking input to the project from the public. The new dock will have a vertical lifting platform, allowing visitors and park staff to easily move from boats to the landing. This new lift system requires widening the dock footprint by approximately 6 feet and is designed to last 50 years. The dock will also be 2 feet higher than the old dock and could be raised an additional 3 feet in the event of predicted sea level rise. The project is designed to enhance visitor experience, preserve cultural landscape characteristics, increase sustainability and ensure the protection of marine and terrestrial environments.
Work on the project is planned to begin in fall 2021. The island will be closed until the project is completed, to ensure public safety. Updates on the progress and completion of the new dock will be posted on the park website at www.nps.gov/chis. If you would like to provide input on the project during the open comment period— which runs through Oct. 9 — visit the National Park Planning Environment and Public Comment project page at www.parkplanning.npsgov/ chis. The public is invited to attend a virtual meeting to learn more about the dock replacement project on Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 3 p.m. To join go to bit.ly/33gu0yj. Use access code 1336535468 and password SRyJgdVr254. You can also join by phone at 877-309-3457. Anacapa Island is one of the five Channel Islands that make up the Channel Islands National Park. It is popular for water sports like kayaking, diving, snorkeling and, fishing. Visitors who hike on the island are treated to breathtaking ocean views and native plants that only exist on the islands. Many species of sea birds use the island for nesting each year, including brown pelicans, wester gulls, peregrine falcons and bald eagles. Also, the island is home to the historic lighthouse built in 1932.
Redevelopment plans for Back Bay Landing approved by the California Coastal Commission and Newport Beach City Council in 2016 include constructing 49 residences, 60,000 square feet of commercial space and an enclosed boat storage.
Newport Beach to issue RFP to relocate water pipeline for Back Bay Landing development Bayside Village Marina requested relocating a cityowned water transmission main to allow better use of their property at 100 Bayside Drive where they are planning a mixed-use redevelopment By LINDSEY GLASGOW NE W P O R T B E AC H —The Newport Beach City
Council, at its Aug. 25 meeting, approved a reimbursement agreement with Bayside Village Marina for the relocation of a city-owned water transmission main. Bayside Village Marina is requesting the relocation as part of its Back Bay Landing redevelopment project. The water main has been in place since 1930 and allows the city to move water from one side of the bay to the other. Per the approved agreement, the city will issue a request for proposals (RFPs) to relocate the water transmission main while Bayside Village Marina will fund the environmental review, permitting and final design for the project. City staff have been coordinating with Bayside Village Marina since 2014 on the Back Bay Landing project. The City Council has approved various planning documents f or the project over the past several years, including a Planned Community Development Plan allowing for a future mixed-use de-
velopment of the 100 Bayside Drive property. According to a staff report from the Aug. 25 meeting, city staff is in the process of requesting engineering proposals to complete environmental review, permitting and design for four other city pipelines that cross under the Newport Bay. The construction, according to the staff report, will require extensive amount of permitting with various state and federal agencies. Due to the similar type of work needed to replace and relocate the city water transmission main associated with the Back Bay Landing project, the property owner requested and offered to fund adding its relocation design and permitting work to the city’s pending bay-crossing pipeline replacement project as a fifth bay-crossing pipeline. Under the agreement, the city will initiate the request for proposals to include all five bay-crossing pipelines and Bayside Village Marina will pay for the environmental review, permitting and final design efforts, which is estimated to cost $450,000. According to the staff report, upon successful completion of this work, the developer is interested in possibly entering into a similar reimbursement arrangement for the construction for the new relocated water line. The Back Bay Landing site is envisioned to be developed as an integrated, mixed-use waterfront on an approximately 7-acre portion of a 31.4-acre parcel located adjacent to the Upper Newport Bay. The 7-acre project area is bordered by the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort and the Bayside Village Mobile Home Park to the east and East Coast Highway and various marina commercial and restaurant uses south of the highway to the southeast. Redevelopment plans approved by the California Coastal Commission and Newport Beach City Council in 2016 include constructing 49 residences, 60,000 square feet of commercial space and an enclosed boat storage. Plans also include a new bayfront walkway connecting boaters, residents and visitors to the Newport Dunes recreational area. Initial plans also included a 65-foot view tower, but that was squashed by the Coastal Commission in 2016.

Four legacy oil wells off the coast of Santa Barbara County could be abandoned. The California Coastal Commission approved a permit for the abandonment.

Permit application for abandonment of oil wells approved California Coastal Commission grants permission for State Lands Commission to re-abandon oil wells off the Santa Barbara coast. By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SANTA BARBARA COUNTY—One state
agency’s request to permanently “re-abandon” four leaking legacy oil wells off the coast of Santa Barbara County was approved by another state agency, Sept. 11. The California Coastal Commission issued a permit for the California State Lands Commission, allowing the latter to move forward with its plans to “permanently re-abandon four leaking legacy oil wells” located near Summerland, an unincorporated area south of Santa Barbara. All four wells were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and produced three to five barrels of oil, daily, according to Coastal Commission staff. Production would drop off, however, declining to “less than one barrel of oil per day by the time [the wells] were abandoned,” Coastal Commission staff continued.
Two of the wells are onshore, while the other two are offshore. State budgetary constraints means well abandonment activities will take several years to complete. State Lands Commission funding, tides and the availability of a crane barge will all factor into scheduling of abandonment activities. “The legacy wells date to the largely unregulated development of the Summerland Oil Field in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and periodically leak crude oil,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “The proposed operation would require the use of heavy equipment, vehicles, and specialized machinery on beach and intertidal areas, as well as the mooring and operation of a work barge and use of underwater excavation equipment for offshore wells.” Abandoning the two onshore wells, according to a Coastal Commission staff report, consists of the following: expose the leaking wellhead, install steel piping around the well with a vibratory hammer and encapsulating the leaking wellhead with cement and a wielded steel plate. One of the offshore wells will be abandoned with the use a crane barge and pile drivers to expose the wellhead, and then fill it with cement before wielding it shut with a steel plate. Crews will removed a four-foot cement “well cap” at the other offshore well. Other agencies involved in the abandonment of the four oil wells are U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Geological Energy Management Division, Santa Barbara County Planning and Development, and tribal representatives.

DANA POINT—Good news hasn’t been
the norm for most of 2020, but the dark cloud hanging over plans to revitalize Dana Point Harbor might finally have a silver lining. Yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, to use another cliché, as the California Coastal Commission approved a permit to replace and reconfigure Dana Point Harbor. The permit likely means decades of waiting for Dana Point Harbor’s revitalization is about to end. Dana Point Harbor Partners, which was selected by Orange County to oversee the coastal revitalization, is proposing to install new harbor infrastructure, with 2,254 boat slips (down from 2,409 currently) and replace 16 commercial fishing slips, 13 yacht club slips (up from 11) and replacement of 16 sportfishing charter slips. The reconfiguration plan also calls for a relocation and reconfiguration of the fuel and emergency docks. A drive-in boat wash would be added at the Outer Basin. Transient docks would be relocated to the Outer Basin and expanded. The 11 existing boater service buildings at the harbor would be replaced with 10 new buildings. Plans also call for the 1,644 existing parking spaces for boaters to be replaced with 1,410 designated stalls. An expanded promenade area, public docks and 435 free public parking spaces are also part of the revitalization plan. Commissioners, according to Coastal Commission staff, also required Dana Point Harbor Partners to “submit a detailed plan for a sailing program for youth from underserved communities, which will increase access and education for those who cannot afford to live near the coast or afford such recreational opportunities.” Construction and development of the revitalized Dana Point Harbor is expected to take five years to complete, according to Coastal Commission staff. The loss of small boat slips and tweaks to charter services at Dana Point Harbor were chief concerns among commissioners. “The proposed development will reduce the number of slips available, which has the potential to adversely affect public access and recreational opportunities in the harbor, and increase on-water coverage, which casts shade on underwa-
ter resources,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “The applicant indicates that the net reduction in slips is primarily a result of boater demand change since 1971, which has shifted from the use of smaller boats to larger boats, requiring longer and wider berthing spaces, as well as compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.” Coastal Commission staff continued the loss of slips is actually acceptable within Local Coastal Program policy, which would allow a revitalized Dana Point Harbor to have as many as 155 net loss of slips. The policy also requires the average slip length must not be greater than 32 feet. Dana Point Harbor Partners proposed 155 fewer slips and an average slip length of 32 feet, both within the Local Coastal Program policy. The Coastal Commission required Dana Point Harbor Partners to submit a “Slip Transition and Implementation Plan,” which, according to a staff report to commissioners, “maintain a vacancy of five percent of dry boat storage spaces available for rent for small-sized boat owners.” The five percent set-aside would be available to slip owners whose boats measure 30 feet and smaller. Joe Ueberroth, CEO of Bellwether Finance Group, said Dana Point Harbor will remain a “small boat harbor” and “raise the bar for marinas of the future” once the revitalization is complete. “This was once a contentious project,” Ueberroth said, adding his company reached out to the local boater’s association and area nonprofits to guide the revitalization’s visioning. He specifically pointed out the revitalization is now a collaboration with Dana Point Boater’s Association, Dana Point Harbor Advisory Board, boat brokers, watercraft rental companies, the local shipyard, nonprofits and the Chamber of Commerce. The revitalization’s Local Coastal Program, according to a presentation made by Ueberroth to Coastal Commission members, would maintain 2,254 recreational boat slips. The average slip size would be 32 feet. James Lenthall said the Dana Point Harbor revitalization plan is equitable for boaters, alleviating some pressure off a wait list for larger boat slips will maintaining access to the harbor for smaller boats. “This is the right project. We now have a development partner with the means to perform,” Lenthall said. Orange County entered into a 66-year lease with Dana Point Harbor Partners in 2018. The county, which owns the land surrounding and tidelands on Dana Point Harbor, has been angling to revitalize the waterfront since 1997. “The marina has exceeded the end of its intended life and poses safety and sePlease see REVITALIZATION, PAGE 16

Community members and island visitors can watch photo projections from the Catalina Island Museum’s “Frida Kahlo: Through the Lens of Nickolas Muray” exhibit along Metropole Avenue and Crescent Street nightly from 8-10 p.m. through Sept. 27. CATALINA CONNECTION
Catalina Island Museum hosts Frida Kahlo Projection Series outside; hosts virtual gyotaku printing demo for members AVALON —The Catalina Island Museum
announced two events that will be going on this month as part of two different exhibits as their galleries remain temporarily closed due to Covid-19. The museum has brought the “Frida Kahlo: Through the Lens of Nickolas Muray” exhibit outdoors for members, the community, and island visitors to experience. Approximately 50 photographic portraits and prints of Frida Kahlo are being projected as larger-than-life images nightly from 8–10 p.m. along Metropole Avenue and Crescent Street. The nightly projections began on Aug. 27 and will continue through Sept. 27. “It is heartening to be able to share the Frida Kahlo exhibition in a unique format during a time when people need it the most,” Julie Perlin Lee, executive director of the Catalina Island Museum, said in a released statement. “During our closure, I have been inspired by the resilience of the Avalon community and museum staff to continuously adapt and creatively find ways to connect during these uncertain times.” The images of the intimate exhibition display the personal life of Mexico’s most prolific female artist, Frida Kahlo, captured through the lens of longtime friend, lover and confidant Nickolas Muray. The work includes approximately 50 photographic portraits and prints from 1937– 1946, including six images that have never before been exhibited in the Unit-
ed States, and a number of intimate letters of correspondence between Kahlo and Muray. The museum said the outdoor Frida Kahlo projection series allows visitors to experience the exhibition in a different way while the museum’s galleries remain temporarily closed and as one of the last chances to see the portraits in Southern California before the exhibition closes on Sept. 27. When visiting the outdoor Frida Kahlo exhibition, the museum encourages visitors to take safety precautions including wearing a face covering at all times and practicing safe physical distancing. In a separate event, on Sept. 26, the museum will host a virtual gyotaku printing demo by artist Dwight Hwang for museum members from 11 a.m. to noon. Hwang’s work is featured in the museum’s current special exhibition “Soot and Water: Gyotaku Records of Catalina.” Guest curator, Michael VanHartingsveldt, will also join the virtual event to share the history of gyotaku and give a virtual tour of the exhibition. The event will also showcase the printmaking skills of Avalon youth. The event will take place on Zoom and is open to museum members. It is free of charge but registration is required. Registration can be completed at bit.ly/3k3geps. Membership information can be found at catalinamuseum. org/membership.

IN MEMORIAM: Franklin William MacIntyre
By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SAN DIEGO—Will MacIntyre, a member
of the Sun Country Marine Group sales team, has died. He passed away on Aug. 20. His colleagues spread his ashes in San Diego Bay on Sept. 9. A memorial website was set up for MacIntyre on GatheringUs.com. The web-
site
included an obituary, photo section and an area for memories/condolences. “Big Will, I know you are reading these in between boat rides. You must know how much you are missed and loved,” Jim Reopelle wrote on the website. “You and I became instant friends when you sold me The Palace and we had lots of laughs and drinks on the water, at football games, and trying to find a reliable boat mechanic (still look-
ing). Maybe we’ll find one when I see you again old friend.” MacIntyre, on the GatheringUs. com website, was described as “larger-than-life.” “Will MacIntyre was a man who cast a large wake in life, in both the literal sense doing what he loved most out on the water, but also figuratively in the hearts and lives of every person who had the pleasure of knowing him,” the obituary on GatheringUs.com stated. “When you live as thoroughly as Will, you don’t depart this life without leaving a vast pool of loved ones soaking up every ripple of your cherished memory.” Bernadine Trusso, who works with Dona Jenkins Maritime Document Service, sent an email to San Diego’s maritime community the morning after MacIntyre’s passing and stated he died peacefully, while surrounded by his family. A statement from Greg Glogow, the executive vice president of Sun Country Marine, was included in the email. “Will was the ultimate closer, he was as good as it got, and I learned more from him over the past two years, than I have from many throughout my lifetime. However, as good as Will was at selling, he was better at living. Will was the most positive person I’ve ever met, literally,” Glogow said. “Will lived on the principle that ‘attitude is everything’ his late struggles were a constant reminder that we all have problems, some we can’t control, but what we can control is our attitude, and it’s amazing the power of a positive attitude.” The spreading of the ashes on Sept. 9 took place at the SD-1 buoy. Flowers and biodegradable items were released during the burial at sea. A potluck and bonfire reception were held later in the day at Ski Beach. The online memorial was created by Taylor Basso, Sun Country Marin’s marketing manager. There are plans for a memorial service in January 2020.

curity problems for marina users,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “The design of the Inner Basin docks is what is typically known as the ‘Huntington’ dock system and this type of dock construction historically has a serviceable lifespan of up to 30 years, with a maximum of approximately 38 years. The average age of the current dock facilities in the Inner Basin is just under 50 years. “The docks and the pilings in the Inner Basin are deteriorating, require frequent maintenance, and pre-date the American with Disabilities Act of 1990,” the commission staff report continued. Dana Point Harbor has a marina for recreational boating and several restaurants and shops on the waterfront. The harbor is also home to fishing charters, whale watching excursions and the Ocean Institute.

a provision in the agreement which renders the contract “null and void” if either party breaches the agreement, but in this case the actions of the management company would amount to a rather egregious breach of contract. This breach would probably have relieved her of her obligations under the contract, even without the “null and void” clause. Many contracts include an “act of God” clause which will release the parties from their respective obligations in the event of a natural disaster such as a hurricane, and the COVID pandemic may have had that effect even without a breach by the management company. Similarly, a party may be excused from performance under a feature of general contract law known as “impossibility of performance,” which may arise under these circumstances. Based on general contract law and the common language of these agreements, the charter management company may have been within their rights to keep their fleet tied to the dock and cease payments under the “guaranteed income” program. But the question of whether our reader could have removed her boat from the fleet, based solely on inactivity, may only be answered by reviewing the language of the contract. This particular situation has an added twist, because it seems the management company chartered our reader’s boat anyway, without her knowledge and after telling her that the boat would not be chartered. To make matters worse, they failed to inform her of the charter activity and failed to pay her the charter income. Under these circumstances they are clearly in breach of the contract and they have probably committed a fraud. Based on our reader’s story, if her boat was in the United States, we might be advising her to sue the management company for fraud and breach of contract. But the boat is in Mexico and the charter management company might be based in Mexico. This complicates the legal landscape greatly, and it requires us to look deeper into the agreement to see whether it requires a dispute to be resolved in a Mexican court and whether it includes a Mexican “choice of law” clause, requiring the application of Mexican law regardless of where a lawsuit is filed. In this case, based on our reader’s story, the charter management company has obviously breached the contract and our reader may be entitled to damages for fraud, even in a Mexican court. But regardless, her boat amounted to a significant investment, and this highlights the need to have a contract reviewed by an experienced attorney before signing anything.

blips on the radar By Lindsey Glasgow Newport Beach Harbor Commission approves policy changes regarding liveaboards in commercial marinas WHAT HAPPENED: A Newport Beach Harbor Commission subcommittee has been working on a second round of revisions to the section of Title 17 related to liveaboards in commercial marinas. The Harbor Commission had been revising the code as a whole and it was sent to the City Council in January. The revisions were approved except for the sections
dealing with liveaboards. A major sticking point was if there should be a limit set on the number of liveaboards allowed in commercial marinas. Over the past several months, the subcommittee held two public meetings and brought the suggestions that resulted to the full Harbor Commission on Sept. 9. WHAT’S ON TAP: The revisions were approved
by the commission and will now go before the City Council. The revisions would modify the definition of liveaboard, to clarify the
difference between off-shore mooring liveaboards and commercial marina liveaboards; require a valid mooring permit in the case of those requesting liveaboard status in the mooring fields and require a valid rental agreement in the case of those requesting liveaboard status in a commercial marina; and clarify that liveaboard permits are issued to those making use of their vessel as their principal residence, as well as defining liveaboard time requirements to a period exceeding 72 hours in any 30-day consecutive period for off-shore moorings and a period exceeding 180 days in any 365 day period for docks or berths. If approved, the number of liveaboards in commercial marinas would not be limited.

Competitive sailing is back in San Diego, and veteran sailor Charlie Buckingham takes first place at the Finn Pacific Coast Championship, which was held Sept. 12 and 13 at Coronado Roads.
Charlie Buckingham runs away with Finn Pacific Coast Championship Buckingham finishes in first places, 11 points ahead of his closest competitor, at competitive sailing event in San Diego. By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SAN DIEGO —More than two-dozen sail-
ors competed in the 2020 Finn Pacific Coast Championship, which took place Sept. 12-13 in San Diego. Veteran sailor Charlie Buckingham finished atop the leaderboard by race’s end, with his 12 points easily the best total among the 25 competitors. Sailor Phil Ramming finished the race in second place with 23 points, just ahead of third-place winner James Buley (26 points).
The 25 sailors competing in the 2020 Finn Pacific Coast Championship were a mix of new, veteran and enthusiastic competitors, all competing against each other in single-handed boats. There were seven races throughout the regatta, all held out on the Pacific Ocean, on the well-used Coronado Roads course. Buckingham, who competed in the championship on behalf of Newport Harbor Yacht Club, said he was able to win the race because of “familiar winds” and “consistent sailing,” according to San

Diego Yacht Club’s summary of the race (which was shared with The Log.) “These conditions were very similar to Newport Harbor … no more than 10-12 knots at the most,” Buckingham said. “The direction was really consistent, as well, which made it easy to figure out. I’m new to the boat, so I kept my head down and tried to work with the controls. If it was a windy event, the results might have been really different.” Also walking away a winner was David Balfour; he won the “Fun Award,” which, according to San Diego YC, was “created for the half-fold of the fleet.” The Finn class racing event was one of a small number of sailing events hap-
pening this year in Southern California. Many races were canceled this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. San Diego YC, which hosted the weekend championship regatta, acknowledged the sailing class was fortunate to have an event, even though it was held with limited to no fanfare. “The Finn fleet is fortunate during the Covid-19 pandemic to be able to race in their socially-distanced, single-handed boats. However, the weekend didn’t look exactly like a typical Finn celebration. All pre and post racing socials were cancelled, and awards were given to the top finishers in a socially distanced setting.

NEWPORT BEACH HARBOR COMMISSION BACKS PROPOSED DAY-USE MOORING SUB-PERMIT TRIAL
The trial program would allow boaters to pay a pro-rated fee to subpermit a mooring for up to six hours during daylight hours. By LINDSEY GLASGOW
NEWPORT BEACH—The Newport Beach Harbor Commission gave unanimous support to a proposed day-use mooring sub-permit trial program in the harbor. Harbormaster Kurt Borsting presented the idea at the Sept. 9 Harbor Commission meeting. The six-month trial would test a program allowing for short-term, day-use rental of off-shore moorings, for up to six hours. Newport Harbor experienced high volumes of recreational boating during spring and summer of 2020 and Borsting said a number of undesired practices were observed by Harbor Department staff. He said this could be a way to curtail the increased boating volume. Those practices included occasional overcrowded conditions in the harbor’s designated public anchorage; vessels anchored in unauthorized areas of the harbor, including channels and areas intended for active navigation; unauthorized day-use of off-shore moorings; and instances of “harbor drifting”, where vessels were disengaged from sail or motor powered propulsion, and instead were left to intentionally drift within the harbor while those aboard enjoy leisure time on the bay. “For all these reason and others, this type of program may contribute to a sort of safety valve or pressure relief valve for overcrowded anchorage and give people an authorized option versus dropping anchor in unauthorized areas,” Borsting
said at the Sept. 9 meeting. Bosrting said it could also provide variety for those interested in spending time in various areas within the harbor. A pro-rated fee, equal to 25 percent of the approved 24-hour mooring use rate or $0.31 per linear foot, would be applied. Borsting said those numbers were based off the City Council-approved daily rates for guest use of off-shore moorings. All other established procedures associated with mooring sub-permit issuance, such as providing proof of vessel ownership, insurance, and agreeing to be responsible for any damage to mooring equipment, would apply to the proposed day-use program. Borsting said the Harbor Department’s software platform allows them to pre-populate customer information so boaters interested would be able to pre-register to speed up the sub-permitting process on the days boaters decide to use it. All the Commissioners expressed enthusiastic support of the idea. Some Commissioners also suggested looking into creating a mobile app similar to parking apps that would allow for an even more streamlined process. “I envision perhaps someday we have a ‘moor mobile app’ or something like that,” said Vice Chair Scott Cunningham. Some Commissioners also suggested a longer trial period to allow the program to test out interest during the busier summer months. “I’m not sure if it gives you a representative of the summertime busyness, so we might want to think about something a little longer than six months,” Commissioner Marie Marston said. Borsting said he would incorporate the suggestions made by the Commissioners. He said he anticipates the program will launch by mid to late October. After the six-month trial period, the Harbor Department will come back with recommendations on whether or not to make it a permanent program.

The 26 anglers aboard the three-quarter-day fishing trip caught 260 rockfish and 15 lingcod. “We primarily stayed in deeper water and had excellent fishing,” the captain of Stardust wrote on Facebook as he and the anglers were returning to shore. “We did not have time to go look for whitefish but the quality of the bags definitely made up for it.”
Southern California was one of two areas designated for Aquaculture Opportunity Areas, which is part of a new policy created by Pres. Trump. The other region was the Gulf of Mexico. Eight more locations will be picked between now and 2025.
NOAA Fisheries plans to have 10 such designated areas in place by 2025. By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA —The first-
ever Aquaculture Opportunity Areas have been announced, with Southern California one of two locations desig-
nated for this federal project aiming to study and develop sustainable aquaculture operations. NOAA Fisheries announced the first two Aquaculture Opportunity Areas in late August. In all there are 10 such areas planned in federal waters. All 10 opportunities areas are planned to be operational by 2025. The Gulf of Mexico was the other region named as an Aquaculture Opportunity Area, according to NOA A Fisheries.
“These two regions were selected for future aquaculture opportunity area locations based on the already available spatial analysis data and current industry interest in developing sustainable aquaculture operations in the region,” NOAA Fisheries staff said in a released statement. Chris Oliver, the assistant administrator for NOA A Fisheries, said the Aquaculture Opportunity Areas would complement U.S.’s wild capture fisheries. “The creation of Aquaculture Oppor-
tunity Areas will foster the U.S. aquaculture industry as a needed complement to our wild capture fisheries. This type of proactive work creates opportunities for aquaculture farmers and maintains our commitment to environmental stewardship.” Pres. Donald J.

Seafood industry and fishermen to receive millions in federal aid
NATIONWIDE—Members of the U.S. seafood and fishing industries will receive $530 million in federal aid, to help offset the effects of foreign retaliatory tariffs. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue announced the federal aid, which would be provided to the commercial fishing and seafood industries through the Seafood Trade Relief Program. The program is funded by the Commodity Credit Corporation and administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Ser-
vice Agency. “The program will provide direct support to U.S. commercial fishermen impacted by retaliatory tariffs,” a NOAA Fisheries statement about the federal aid program stated. “To qualify, they must hold a valid federal or state license or permit. Additionally, their catch must be sold or transferred to a permitted or licensed seafood dealer or by a permitted dealer if the catch is processed at sea. Seafood products grown in a controlled environment are not eligible for the program (except geoducks and salmon).” More than a dozen seafood types will be supported by the relief package, according to the Department of Agriculture, which is also known as the USDA. Those seafood types are: Atka mackerel; crab (Dungeness, king, snow, southern Tanner); flounder; geoduck;
the globe,” Perdue said in a released statement. Fishermen seeking relief under this federal program can apply for funding between Sept. 14 and Dec. 14. Applications are available at local USDA Service Centers. Visit www.farmers.gov/ service-center-locator to find a local service center. Applications are available online at www. farmers.gov/seafood. All USDS Service Centers are open for business, according to Agriculture Department staff.

BLUEFIN, YELLOWFIN, DORADO, YELLOWTAIL AND MARLIN CONTINUE TO BITE OFFSHORE By Bob Vanian of 976bite.com
SAN DIEGO—The 2020 offshore fishing season continues to be a good one with many
fine species of fish to target in a day of fishing. Those wishing to go after jumbo sized bluefin tuna to 300-plus pounds have been heading out to fish off the back side of San Clemente Island and off the West End of San Clemente Island where the bite on 40- to 300-plus-pound bluefin continues to impress. Those wishing to target more of a mixed bag of yellowfin, Dorado and yellowtail have been doing well while working some of the offshore banks ranging from below and outside of Los Coronado Islands on down to the offshore banks outside of Ensenada. The list of fine options for offshore fishing continues with improving fishing for striped marlin and even a few blue marlins being found in waters ranging from the back side of Santa Cruz Island on down to the offshore banks below and outside of Los Coronado Islands. All I can say is, wow!
Bob Vanian’s
eries staff said. “Aquaculture Opportunity Areas and an expanded domestic aquaculture industry is critical for the economic and environmental resiliency of our coastal communities, and national food security.” Two new opportunity areas will be announced each year until 2025, when the 10 planned zones are expected to be designated. No timeline was given as to when specific commercial operations would be identified. The portion of the Southern California coast where the opportunity areas would be implemented was also not announced.
Hidden Bank, the Lower Hidden Bank, the 385 Spot and the 480 Spot. Kelp paddies, trolling strikes and stopping on spots of breezing fish have led to most of the action with live sardines working best for bait.
The fishing for a mixed bag of 8- to 15-pound yellowfin, 5- to 12-pound dorado and 4- to 12-pound yellowtail has been good to very good for boats fishing local banks below and outside of Los Coronado Islands. The fishing over the past couple of days has slowed down a bit but Skippers are hopeful that the past two days have just been a couple of down days and that the hot bite fishing will soon return.
Productive areas for the yellowfin, dorado and yellowtail have ranged from 20 to 50-plus miles from Point Loma for boats fishing around banks such as the 302 Spot, the 425 Bank, the 371 Bank, the 475 Knuckle, the Upper
Striped marlin action has been improving and recent days have provided good marlin fishing. In addition to the striped marlin activity, there were also two recent 300-plus pound blue marlin hookups that were lost. Additionally, this morning a Skipper that was fishing for bluefin tuna out by the 381 Spot off the back side of San Clemente Island reported hooking and catching a blue marlin that he estimates to weigh 180 pounds.
The Balboa Angling Club’s Master Angler Billfish Tournament was held on Sept. 11 and 12 and there were 42 boats fishing in the event. My unofficial tally: there were 47 marlin hookups during the two days of fishing, with 20 qualifying marlins released. In addition to the qualifying releases, there were three disqualified marlin releases and a mix of bluefin, Dorado and yellowtail caught by tournament boats. Fisherman’s Landing photo
The fishing for the jumbo sized bluefin to 300-plus pounds continues to grab the spotlight. The waters around San Clemente Island continue to be the best for the bluefin with the area to the west and the northwest of the West End, the 381 Spot and the 267 Spot located easterly of the Tanner Bank providing the best bluefin fishing. In addition to those areas, there have also been bluefin biting in the area to the southwest of West Cove, to the southwest of the 57 Fathom Spot and the to the south of the 86 Fathom Spot. Sonar marks, meter marks and spots of breaking fish have led to most of the bluefin bites. Kite fished previously frozen flying fish continue to work best for bait with kite trolled Yummy Flyers, flylined live sardines and flylined live mackerel also getting results.
