ey, isn’t modern technology wonderful…? Oh, excuse me, I have an email coming in on my wi-fi wristwatch from a telemarketer (they are so sincere, day or night, and especially at dinner time) so I’ll have to put you on hold and record the movie I’m watching on my Googoo-GOGGLES which means I’ll be late sending the money order to my internet teenage soul mate’s convent in Bogotá, Columbia for her brother’s oral surgery. (Note to self: update Fantasy Ping-Pong team and then download new improved TEXT&DRIVE motorcycle app). I’ve been sleeping on the sidewalk in front of WALMART for the last three nights so I won’t lose my place in line to get the all-new P-P-Padring mark IV that automatically sends monthly checks to Bogotá, a FAX machine that prints out lotto tickets, and the standard GPS that has hi-fi on its wi-fi, so that won’t be a problem anymore. Unless it’s already obsolete. Bummer. My internet guru says the problem is a loose connection between chair and keyboard.

Oops, my medicinal e-cigarette just had a severe vapor lock and someone has hacked into my auto’s computerized On-The-Go espresso machine, so now I have all eleven cup holders full of steaming cups of Americana Grande Cappuccinos. Fortunately, my granddaughter will be home from kindergarten soon to shut it off and reboot the hierarchical database that stores configuration settings and options on Microsoft Windows operating systems (registry)… system. The good news is I’m getting 50 miles to a gallon between P-pod stops, of coffee, that is. Bad news: my attempts to have my PIEINTHESKY drone take a picture of me taking a selfie of myself has a bad autopilot attitude – or was it altitude – problem and the LOOKatME camera on my drone has red eye. How awkward is that! Now I’ll have to tweet my FACEFRIENDS a personal twit to apologize and also post it on my BLOG which is 1.2735 minutes (approximately) out of sync with GMT. But since I put it up in a cloud I started a back-up blog just to be safe, because
people should know what I had for breakfast, along with the latest joke: Knock knock. Who’s there? The “NO” it all Republican congress. ( LOL, PMP.) Anyway, reruns of the KARDASHIANS –The Early Years -series are coming on but my smart TV is recording the entire series, as we speak, for my viewing leisure and pleasure at a time to be announced later. Wow, gotta go now, so I have to say so long old friend and remember to drink responsibly.

COMMODORE’S COMMENTS
I
t is one quarter into my tour as Commodore, so-far-so-good. Again, thank you Barrie Wheeler for your leadership last year. Also, thank you to Gerard Sheridan who completed two years as Rear Commodore. My primary focus, so far, is doing my part in continuing our Club’s reputation as an outstanding place for our members, and their friends, to come for dinner, libation and to take advantage of our numerous clubhouse and on-the-water activities. What makes us great? Our location on the Bay, sailing immediately upon leaving the harbor, close to lots of cool stuff and a great view. Maybe it’s the well-appointed ambiance, the good food, lively bar, good prices? The people! Could it be the people? Yes it could be, and in my opinion it is. Where else can one find so many talented volunteers to take care of the behind the scenes requirements. We staff a great bar,
M I LT S M I T H
execute a superb racing and cruising schedule and enjoy our Club’s numerous event opportunities. This month we wind up another successful Island Fever Series. Thanks to all the on-the-water volunteers and participants! Another important goal; more members coming in. We do have members, new or old timers, who have not been around much. I encourage you to come by, spend some time, meet members, have fun, join a cruise-out, go racing. If you’re a regular and spot someone new, chat them up…make sure they feel welcome, recruit some crew! Volunteers are the key to our success. If you have not quite gotten involved as a volunteer and need some help getting started, contact me, we need you! Also, a blanket mea culpa for missing a thank you from time to
time. I was looking right at Martin Fay & Charlene Whitt at a member meeting and forgot to say thanks for the Halloween Party. So thanks Paul J., Eleanor Harrison & Wendy Hanrahan for a super SNL party and to Steve & Jocelyn Swanson for the fine Chocolates on Valentines Eve. The new Point Of Sale (POS) system is up and running. Please thank the committee: Cat Reining, Terence Hanrahan, Paul Janofsky, and Colm Pellow, and any others I’ve missed! A reminder – board meetings are held on the Thursday of the week preceding our member meeting. The first agenda item, at about 7:30pm is time set aside for any member to come talk about anything they wish, relating to the Club of course. So join us if you wish. We are off to a great year! And remember —no knots, bunches or twists in those undergarments. Feel free to contact me at any time.

VICE COMMODORE’S REPORT
A
s your newly installed Vice Commodore I have certainly started to realize how lucky our Club is to have had Milt Smith take care of this position last year and go out of his way in helping me learn the ropes. The VC is responsible for all the in-house activities. To achieve this I depend on the consistent assistance of many volunteers. I am thrilled that Cat Reining stepped up to fill the HOOD position. Cat has very large shoes to fill. She is certainly filling those Cole Haans and is a great asset to the Club. Hugh Coppen is very supportive and is remaining on the Hospitality Committee in between his journeys to Africa. When I ran for office I promised we would try to have “fun fun fun” and with the help of the growing Events Committee we plan to deliver. Our main event planners Wendy Hanrahan, Toni Heyneker, Susie Fay, Ken Ludlum, and Eleanor Harrison are all giving me great advice. Interested in party planning? Sign up with the Events Committee via the
PA U L J A N O F S K Y
website; we would love to get your input and assistance. Our Hospitality Committee is now chaired by Steve Severaid and our fearless Deck Captains leaders are Dick and Barb Haiduck. But the heart and soul of our Club are our OODs. They do an outstanding job. In January, we had a huge private member event with Cat Reining, Gerard Sheridan and Mark Minor at the bar. Wendy Hanrahan and Jesse James backed them up. They truly did a professional job ...I just can’t say enough about how hard all the OODs work. Thank you! I do need to mention one thing I’m sad about. For the last five years I had the pleasure of taking care of Anabel. I don’t think I could have given her up without Tom Green stepping up to fill the role with Rear Commodore Dan Courter’s support. There is already a
rumor around that I may try to return to that job in the future and will have to wrestle with Tom for the wheel. I’ve established a great relationship with our steady club steward, Mr. D. Working together we have cleaned up recent theft issues. Plus we installed window shades to provide better TV viewing during the summer months. I have asked myself why I do so much for this Club. It’s a combination of a love of boating and true admiration for the people who have done so much to build and maintain a great reputation. It’s working and learning with seasoned members like Barrie and Karen Wheeler (retiring to Mexico); hanging out with cheerful Milt and dour Dan, it’s spending hours and hours on the water with all the race committee folks, or supporting the OODs during a member meeting; the list just goes on and on. In the meantime I can take my wife, Judith Janofsky, out for dinner and deeply thank her for the support she’s giving me in my new role. Come on down to the Club and have some fun with us.

SPLICE THE MAINBRACE
F
or my first contribution to the Wavelength as HOOD, I would like to express my extreme gratitude to Hugh for passing the “line” (baton lacks nautical appeal) on a tight ship. The role of OOD and the related processes are water-tight thanks to Hugh’s command of the vessel and as a result the transition has been smooth sailing. I am most appreciative to the almost 100 strong crew of OODs for their patience with me as I learn the ropes “aft” deck and for their dedication in support of our club picking up shifts for late calendar additions without complaint! I am happy to share some updates in our wine offerings. The Hospitality Committee decided to replace Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc with
C AT R E I N I N G
the Fume Blanc from Ferrari-Carano. Plus it was necessary to backfill the Simply Naked Chardonnay which unexpectedly ended production and is no longer available. In its place we have Calloway Chardonnay until the Hospitality Committee can convene to identify the new house white wine. Come on in and sample the new selections or grab a glass of your favorite grog. With an influx of new members I have received inquiries about what it takes to become an OOD. The first step is to sign up for training with Dick Haiduck (seen in full Spartan attire above at the SNL party) as a Deck Captain. Serving as a deck captain is a great way to learn to cover required volunteer gaps while gaining experience on the POS system as well
as a solid introduction to club policy compliance and serving members. As I have thoroughly exhausted any trace of witty prose, I will sign off with due respect to Mr. Hall (my member number is far too high to address him by Ray) with what may be a first ever Wavelength free of sarcastic droll toward his page 2 column. Cheers to all –splice the mainbrace!

BETWEEN THE SHEETS LY N D A M AY B R U C K
TIPS UP Left to right: Lynda Maybruck, Jim Drake, Nehal Gajjar and Alex Fleming, Steve Corwin, and Commodore Barrie Wheeler.
JIM DRAKE
Native to Monterey, Jim built his own boat at a young age, and never stopped working on boats. He owns both sail and power boats that he keeps at Oyster Pt. He holds a 100 ton Master’s License, has delivered boats worldwide and has been in the marine business for more than 20 years. Jim would like to get more involved in racing, and is anxious to get involved in our volunteer spirit. TISH PASQUAL & CHRIS MCMAHON
Having owned a variety of sailboats over the past 30 years in the Great Lakes, Tish & Chris recently moved to the Bay Area and are looking to partner on a boat here. They consider their best vacations hauling their Venture or Seaward to Lakes Huron, Superior and Michigan. They’ve chartered in Lake Huron and the BVIs. They both hold ASA certificates 101, 2, 3, and 5, and Celestial Navigation. They would like to refresh their skills on larger boats by crewing in races and enjoy sailing year round.
ALEX FLEMING & NEHAL GAJJAR
have a serious interest in sailing and improving as sailors. They have sailed out of Santa Barbara and have completed several ASA courses. Their goal is to purchase a boat once they are comfortable with the Bay. Nehal has been racing in our FNS and wants to improve her skills. Alex wants to sail leisurely and contribute all he can to SBYC. They are energetic and will make great young members in our mix. MATT CHENEY & USHA SUNKARA
Matt grew up sailing the Bay, but is now taking power/fishing boat classes. They own a Hydra Sport Vector in SB and hope to do some fishing with other members. They are currently members of GGYC but prefer our “family” and welcoming atmosphere, and especially our collective sense of humor (whatever that means!?). They hope to contribute frequently to the SBYC well-being by volunteering where appropriate.

STEVE CORWIN
Steve just woke up and smelled the coffee! He bought a Catalina 30 that he races in our Friday night series. His wife Risa is an active member. They stumbled onto our Berkeley cruise-out while giving passengers some respite from the blustery wind. Steve saw the bigger picture. He sent their friends home via Uber and proceeded to party with us cruisers. “And why am I not already a member?” he asked after a hefty dark ’n’ stormy. Problem solved Steve! SCOTT HAUSER has been pleasure
sailing and racing since 1994. He is bareboat certified and has sailed around St. Tropez. He’s been Bay racing since 2001 on various crews and has been a dedicated crew member on Air Jaldi in our FNS for several years. Scott has attended several events at SBYC and loves the camaraderie of our club. It is also reported that he is a mean mixologist!

AYA YAMANOUCHI New to SF, Aya
is an avid kayaker. Before moving here, Aya lived her adult life in NY and owned a bungalow on Oak Island that she could only get to by boat. Thus, various boats came into her life: whalers, sunfish, Rhodes 19, etc. Since moving here she now has the “bug” for sailing and racing. She has taken several racing courses through OCSC. She would like to buy a boat sometime soon and has already acquired a slip. Of other clubs, she liked us best because of our volunteer spirit. Aya has a dynamic personality and will jump right in to volunteering.

GR E AT LO O P PA R T DUE X : MARK GIBSON
On April 26th, Sea Bear, our Nordic Tug 32, departed Charleston for our next phase of America’s Great Loop, which took us up the coast to New York and through Ontario, Canada. After battling our way through the three venues of Charleston Race week, we recuperated by dining at the Charleston Grill and visiting the Holy City and Middleton Plantation, a property famous for it’s landscaping and history. A week later we set off on the next leg of our voyage up the Atlantic Intra-coastal Waterway (AICW). We made our way north through the low country of the Carolinas at about 40 statute miles per day, with slow moving rivers snaking through wild estuarine passages inter-spaced with condos and occasional cities. The channels were still shallow except for the large sounds and bays. Alternately anchoring out in the boondocks and visiting more urban marinas, we transited to Oriental, NC, the Pungo River and the Great Dismal Swamp Canal, started by George Washington and his fellow investors in 1763.
After exiting the Deep Creek lock on the canal, another couple of hours brought us to Norfolk, VA, and the end of the AICW. The America’s Great Loop Cruisers Association (AGLCA) Rendezvous had just wrapped up, but we still were able to meet a few people who are also cruising with the intention of eventually circumnavigating the eastern half of the US, whether in one, two or half a dozen years. From here we proceeded north in dense fog, into Chesapeake Bay and it’s historic cities and towns. On Chesapeake Bay we anchored off Oxford, MD on the Eastern Shore and tied up in the most expensive marina on the trip in St. Michaels, both very quaint. We picked up a mooring ball in Annapolis, toured the town, visited the US Naval Academy and dined at Chick & Ruth’s Deli, consuming the largest crab cakes I’ve ever seen. It was graduation week at the Academy, and the Blue Angels put on an airshow. We worked our way to the upper Chesapeake Bay which narrows into the C&D canal for 14
miles before disgorging us into Delaware Bay. You think I would have learned about wind opposing current on San Francisco Bay, because about a third of the way down the bay we had to pull the plug and duck into the Cohanassy River and Greenwich NJ to a run down marina that set the tone for the rest of our visit to the state. The next day we made it to Cape May, where we waited for the winds to die before starting up the NJICW. After we ran aground in 3 feet of water in the middle of the channel, the 2 foot tide lifted us off and we set off for Atlantic City.

LEFT PAGE: Sea Bear on the wall of the Trent Severn Waterway in Bobcaygeon, ON RIGHT PAGE: On the wall for the night at Guard Gate 1, west of Waterford, NY
Given a beautiful summer day, we gave up on the NJICW and headed out into the Atlantic Ocean, leaving the rest of the state to port on an 80 nm run north to Sandy Hook. We found it cheaper to stay at a yacht club on Staten Island and take the ferry into NYC for our day trips, including a performance of Wicked. On June 4th we slipped under the Verranzo Narrows Bridge, past the Statue of Liberty and NY skyline, on our way up the Hudson River. Four days later we pulled up to the wall in Waterford NY, the start of the Erie Canal. This is a very different environment; lots of locks, fresh water and no tides. We spent most nights “on the wall”, before or after the lock, the cost of which is included in the lockage fee. We worked our way west with that stupid song continually going through my head (you know; the one about the mule), through the New York countryside and lakes to Brewerton NY, where we left the boat for a quick trip back to Sonoma. We returned to Brewerton, stocked up on groceries and head-
ed for Oswego and Lake Ontario, making the crossing to Kingston, Ontario on a calm July day. Then it’s west to Trenton and the historic Trent Severn Waterway (TSW). Parks Canada operates the 44 locks on the TSW, which is a national and international cultural site. Started in 1833 to move lumber and other goods, it was finally completed in 1920, because of the potential for hydro-power. The locks include two lift locks, large bathtubs that raise and lower four or so boats at a time using the hydraulic power of the water. The other odd lock is the Big Chute marine railway, a wide railroad flatcar with slings which carries boats, canoes and kayaks up over the dam and 58 feet down to the next pool. After a week on the TSW we found ourselves winding our way through the rocks and shoals of Georgian Bay. To acclimate ourselves to the bay, we anchored off Beausoleil Island, one of Canada’s National Parks, for a couple of days, enduring an impressive thunderstorm. Georgian Bay’s Small Craft Channel, runs through some of the most
beautiful scenery on the trip. Much of this beauty involves narrow rocky passages. Fortunately Lake Huron was over 2 feet above datum and so the depths were manageable. In 15 knot winds the inside passages are still pleasant, but that same wind raises a short wicked chop when you poke your nose out for the outside runs. We got our scenery fix and cruised through the area in a week, to it’s terminus in Killarney, where even the Liquor Control Board of Ontario shop has a dock. Killarney begins the Northern Passage, where we spent several days in Croker and Meldrum Bays, weathering another thunderstorm. From Meldrum Bay we traced a semicircle around Drummond Island and checked back into the US, after spending a memorable month in Canada. This brings us about two thirds of the way around the loop, which will we will continue from Mackinaw Island down Lake Michigan to Chicago and thence down the Western Rivers back to our starting point in Dog River, AL. Til the next issue! Mark & Pamela

8 BELLS FOR EMMANUEL KEN LUDLUM
A
well attended 8 Bells Ceremony was held for our dear Emmanuel Uren on Sunday November 8th. He passed away peacefully at the age of 80 on Tuesday, September 15, 2015. Emmanuel was a quiet, modest man who loved the Club and could be found firmly placed at the bar more often than not. As the following life summary shows, modesty was truly his byword, good conversation his modus operandi and tejava tea his constant companion. In an unusual and thoughtful twist, all drinks and the buffet during the 8 Bells event were prepaid by Emmanuel. Yes! The OODs rang up his number for the entire afternoon, via instructions from the executor of his estate. He thought of everything and sent us a message of friendship even when he could not be with us. He was born on April 15, 1935 in Plymouth, England to Edmund Redvers Uren, a merchant marine, and Ines Mary Montebello from Malta. She died 6 months later. He graduated with honors with a BS degree in Physics from the Uni of Manchester (England). While in England, he played soccer and was the team’s captain. He worked and lived in Venezuela and Mexico City in 1958. He moved to the United States after that and lived in New Haven, Connecticut to study at Yale where he received a Master’s degree in Industrial Administration. He became a United States citizen in 1965. He later enrolled in Graduate Studies in Operations Research at Stanford University.
Emmanuel’s professional career included Project Engineer at Schlumberger Surenco Camps in Venezuela from 1956 to 1958. His first job in the United States was at Standard Oil in 1960. After that, he was a Software Engineer at Siebel Systems where he co-authored a book, Software Internationalization and Localization, an Introduction, in 1993. He retired from his professional career in 2000. He spoke eight languages (Latin, English, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German), played racquet ball and squash and was a certified United States Squash Racquets Association Referee. He was a history buff, an expert sailor, a volunteer and leading member on Race Committee and many other committees, the Club historian for Golden Gate Yacht Club, a volunteer on the America’s Cup Race management team and he served as a Marshall for the America’s Cup in
Plymouth, England in 2011. He had a passion for the performing arts and was an opera aficionado, and was an extra for the San Francisco Opera as a guardsman and spear carrier in several productions. He liked to be known as “The Boulevardier.” He was a proud member of the Royal Malta Yacht Club. He was truly one of the most sophisticated members of our Club. Emmanuel will be dearly missed. Many thanks to Sherry Nash, who organized Emmanuel’s ceremony, Barrie Wheeler for conducting the ceremony, and Diana Kehrig for performing a beautiful opera piece, The Moon and I, from Gilbert and Sullivan, one of Emmanuel’s favorite operas (accompanied by Cesar Cancino on keyboards). I am sure he felt satisfied that the beautiful notes of one of his favorite operas rang throughout the venerable SBYC at his wonderful remembrance ceremony.

When you re-name a boat, you have to be careful, or the Gods of the Seas & Winds may not recognize your now unfamiliar vessel, and may fail to protect it from the dangers at sea. So prudence dictates one conduct a renaming ceremony prior to setting sail under a new name. Such a ceremony was performed and now Ken Ludlum is the proud parent of Hakuana Matata.
