PORTS IN THE STORM Cruise ship travel, which pumps $900 million a year into the local economy, is at a standstill. Yet the diverse portfolios of Washington's ports (including Port of Seattle) are enabling them to stave off the full force of the pandemic-induced economic storm. Richard Arlin Walker tells us how.

FROM THE HELM It’s Happening

It’s happening. After what seemed like a vast, long hiatus, recreational boating is slowly opening back up. A couple weeks ago, I joined my family on a priSchelleen Rathkopf vate island in the San Juan Islands for the day, as featured on the cover of this month’s Northwest Yachting. This outing was the closest thing to normal that I have felt since February when COVID-19 made its way to town. The island sits between Lopez and Decatur islands, and includes a caretaker’s home, a gorgeous floating dock, a helicopter pad, water and electrical infrastructures, a massive eagle’s nest, and a building site for someone’s dream home someday. And the good news? It’s for sale! While there, we hooked up with Matt Hardin from Cardinal Yacht Sales, his wife Stephanie, and their kids Bjorn and Ava, for a photo shoot and to check out the Targa 46 (as seen on the cover and page 47). The next day, I received a note from Stephanie, who shared the highlights of their day: The things I enjoyed most about our boating trip yesterday were: 1) Being together as a family, laughing and relaxing, enjoying the sunshine and marine air. 2) Being fully present in the moment and dreaming about the future.

INDEPENDENT AND AWARD WINNING SINCE 1987

(206) 789-8116 • NWYACHTING.COM

3) Taking in the beauty of the islands all around us and spotting porpoises! 4) An overall peaceful feeling. Her note was inspiring, as it epitomizes the boating lifestyle, and it’s what we’re all looking forward to getting back to someday. In the meantime, we can figure out ways to get out on the water safely, and this issue is chock full of ideas to help you get started. We also hear some COVID stories from major players in the marine industry that you might recognize on page 60, and a feature on how COVID is affecting ports in Washington state on page 54. Boating in an environment of social distancing is not easy. But after this recent trip to the private island in the San Juans, I was reminded that it isn’t impossible. With the proper planning and considerations, it can be done safely and in compliance with the state’s reopening mandates. The islands aren’t going anywhere and the waterways in the region will still be there when things really open back up. Now is a great time to remember what you miss most and start planning ahead so you’re packed and ready to go when the time comes—and it will come. If you need a boat, well then, buy the boat. If you need your own island, then buy the island (and find all the juicy details on page 45!) See you soon out on the water! Oh, and if you buy the island, let me know as I’d like to swing by with a gift from all of us at Northwest Yachting! —Schelleen Rathkopf

Nautical News The Latest on the Northwest's Boating Scene

Eight Bells for Doug Fryer By Bob Perry

My friend, my client, and my attorney Doug Fryer died this weekend (April 17, 2020). About six months ago, Doug called me on a Saturday and said he wanted to do a new boat. Music to my ears. On Sunday evening, he called back and said he had some bad medical news and would have to put off the new boat. I kept working on the design anyway. I thought it might cheer him up and it did momentarily. But the writing was on the wall and the doctor's prognosis was accurate. Unfortunately. The last race I did with Doug was this past summer. Doug was a bit weak, but he drove the entire race and we took second. In classic Doug style, after the boat was put to bed, the rum bottle came out with the hot buttered rum mix. The crew sat around the cockpit drinking "Ritual Rums." Doug like 151 proof rum because it weighed less for the punch. We drank and Doug recited nautical poetry, some

a bit bawdy. He had a resonant, baritone voice and he delivered the poems with attorney-like panache. Looking back, I think the whole crew knew we were experiencing something that would never happen again. Doug was the "co-inventor" of the Life Sling system. He did not take a nickel from all the units they sold. It was his gift to sailing. I could tell Doug and Night Runner stories all day. Doug loved sailing and he loved Night Runner. When he first came into my office, he showed me a magazine clipping of a Bruce King design and asked me if I could "fix" it. That did not sound like fun to me, so I convinced Doug to let me draw a preliminary design for him. He said, "Fine, I'll come back Tuesday." It was Friday. Monday morning, early, I stared at the blank sheet of vellum and racked my brain for an idea. Nothing. I re-racked. Nothing. I couldn't just regurgitate the Above and Left: Doug Fryer's beloved Night Runner in action.

Bruce King design. I had way too much pride for that. Then it occurred to me that people usually like what they know. Doug's current boat was the venerable Atkin cutter African Star. The worm in the race fleet was, "If you can see African Star at the finish, they have beaten you." I drew a 42', fin keel version of African Star. Doug showed up on Tuesday, took one look at the preliminary drawings and said, "I like it." Doug won the Swiftsure International Yacht Race seven times in Night Runner. I can remember being knocked on our beam ends, chute up going through Race Rocks one year. Doug was awarded the CCA Blue Water Medal for his voyage around South America and rounding Cape Horn. Doug raced Night Runner in the single handed TransPac. Night Runner had some nick names, Night Crawler, the Mayflower. It is one of the finest feeling boats I have ever sailed. So now what? Wish I knew. I have this feeling that it's the end of an era in PNW yachting. It will be interesting to see what happens to Night Runner now. So long Doug. It was an honor. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Bob Perry, Yacht Designer Douglas Martin Fryer died on Friday, April 17, 2020. He was an accomplished sailor, a maritime and admiralty attorney, a father, grandfather, husband and friend. Night Runner is a 42-foot Perry-design cutter.

Washington Sea Grant Announces Boater Safety Programs Marine Debris, Small Oil Spills, and Orca Rangefinder By Aaron Barnett

Washington Sea Grant, based within the College of the Environment at the University of Washington, helps people understand and address the challenges facing Washington’s ocean and coasts through marine research, technical expertise, and education. With the recreational boating season reopening, it is more important than ever for boaters to limit unnecessary risk to themselves and others and to understand their vital role as ambassadors keeping Washington’s waterways safe and clean. Two major hazards boaters produce CE

are trash and oil, but few boaters know what to do when they encounter marine debris or have a small oil spill on their boat. Surprisingly, small oil spills, such as those from oily bilge discharges, account for up to 75 percent of the oil in Puget Sound. Marine debris, ranging from micro plastics to derelict boats, are a more obvious threat to safe boating and water quality. Most obviously, marine debris can be a major navigational hazard for boaters. Less obvious, but just as harmful, are oil and microplastics that can and do make their way into the seafood we eat.

Luckily, there is plenty boaters can do to prevent these hazards.

Marine Debris The majority of marine debris is composed of small plastics. Debris can be anything from cigarette butts to food wrappers and fishing line. Plastics are exposed to tidal action and solar radiation that break down the plastic into smaller and smaller pieces, making it both harder for collection and easier for wildlife to accidentally consume. “Marine debris issues in the Pacific Northwest affect all of us, things like derelict fishing gear entan-

gling our marine mammals or trash washing up on our beaches,” says Andrew Mason, the Pacific Northwest Regional Coordinator for Washington’s Marine Debris program. “If we all do our part, we can reduce the amount of marine debris that enters our coastal waters.” Marine Debris Reduction Tips: ● Don’t bring it. The best way to prevent trash from entering our waterways is not bringing it in the first place. Try to replace single-use plastic products and containers with reusable metal. This can be as simple as bringing a metal water bottle instead of a case of plastic bottles. ● Make a waste management plan for your boat before you go out on the water. Ask these questions: Where are the waste receptacles on your boat? Do they have a secure lid? Are they secure in case of wind or rough weather? Who is responsible for emptying them? Answering these questions before you go out on the water can make a big difference. ● If a piece of trash does go overboard, take it seriously. Commit to retrieving whatever waste was lost and consider picking up a couple pieces of trash, when safe to do so, that aren’t yours. It only takes a little effort to leave our waterways better than you found them. ● Some debris is too big or hazardous to pick up. If you encounter hazardous waste, like chemical spills or biohazards, or see large debris, which might prove a navigational hazard, such as derelict vessels or abandoned fishing equipment, don’t attempt to clean them up. Instead report it to the Department of Ecology Environmental Report Tracking System for environmental hazards or DNR’s Derelict and Abandoned Reporting Tool (DART) for abandoned vessels.

Small oil spills may seem like only a drop in the proverbial bucket, but they add up. Between 2011 and 2015, recreational vessels reported spills amounting to almost 6,000 gallons, and many go unreported. Often these spills are under a gallon and can be hard to spot and track. So how can boaters make sure they don’t pollute the waters they enjoy? ● Prevent oil from entering the water system: place a spill prevention pad or bilge pillow in the bilge before you leave the dock. These are small absorbent pads that, when placed alongside the bilge pump, prevent oily discharge from entering the water. Pick up a small spill prevention kit through Washington Sea Grant or your local marina. ● Checking engines and performing regular maintenance can also have a big impact. Periodically check that all bolts are tight and pumps and lines are uncracked. ● If you do spill, or you see a spill, report it to the Washington Emergency Management Division at 1-800-258-5990 or the U.S. Coast Guard National Response Center at 800-424-8802.

to improve your boat’s security. Next up, secure your dinghy. They’re very valuable and generally tied loosely beside your boat. If you can secure your dinghy with a lock and chain, you create an obstacle for the thief to overcome. The more locks and The BRNKL chains a thief can App see, the less likely they’ll stop and target your boat. Definitely add a security system. By adding a security system to your boat that consists of door sensors, laser sensors, and a siren you will either scare off the intruders before they can steal your gear, or greatly reduce impact they have on your boat. If they do make it inside your boat, systems like BRNKL (pronounced “barnacle”) will capture a photo of the intruder that can be used by the authorities to apprehend the individual. These security systems provide alerts to you via your smartphone, tablet or computer if someone has come onboard your vessel. In addition, these systems will also track your boat’s GPS, bilge pumps, battery voltages, and shore power connection. Most insurance companies will provide discounts to boat owners who have these security and monitoring systems on board. Follow these tips to decrease the chances of your boat being targeted by thieves. If you have any questions about boat security or would like speak to me directly about your own boat’s security, I can be reached at brandon@brnkl.io. Until next time, stay smart and stay secure!

Business Notes The Latest Marine Industry Dispatches Left: Parker Blue, a 65’ Hampton yacht, a recent sale made by Worth Avenue Yachts despite the impact of COVID-19.

Sales Momentum Sparks Up at Worth Avenue Yachts By Schelleen Rathkopf

Worth Avenue Yachts announces the sale of four luxury yachts amid COVID-19 economic impact concerns, signaling a positive upswing in the luxury sector. The four yachts included the 65’ Pacific Mariner, Galilea, the 65’ Hampton yacht, Parker Blue, a 74’ Mochi Craft and a 39’ Silverton. Two of the four U.S. sales came from the Seattle office. As a new "normal" engulfs the yachting community, buyers are gaining confidence and clearly looking forward to this summer’s boating season. “We had about 90% of our charter bookings cancel in March”, says Brian Tansey, Managing Director at Worth Avenue Yachts. “Coming into the beginning of May, those cancellations started turning around, and new clients are now making vacation plans for 2021. Our 2021 season is going to be record-breaking if this momentum keeps up,” adds Tansey. Many of the marinas on the East Coast are already completely booked out for the July through September months in 2021. The change in atmosphere has had an interesting eﬀect on the U.S. yachting market as charter inquires have seen a steadfast increase in U.S.-based destinations.

In 2019, Worth Avenue Yachts opened two oﬃces on the West Coast, in San Diego and Seattle. The oﬃces have since developed a strong presence that has only been strengthened by becoming an authorized dealer for Hatteras and Cabo Yachts, as well as the Hunt Yachts Ocean Series brand. The increase of interest to charter in areas like the San Juan Islands, Desolation Sound, Alaska, and the Sea of Cortez in Mexico has led to the expansion of Worth Avenue Yacht’s charter division on the West Coast. Worth Avenue Yachts has had one of the largest footprints at the Palm Beach International Boat Show in previous years. But

due to boat show cancellations, Worth is focusing on virtual boat shows and finding success there. “The team is looking forward to displaying yachts of all sizes at the upcoming virtual show,” says Laura Yager, marketing director. “We have been following the increase in web traﬃc and have launched a few fun initiatives while our physical oﬃces are closed.” Worth is also working on new itineraries and keeping their content light with some social media contests on Facebook and Instagram.

Allison Lehman Joins Swiftsure Yachts By Kurt Hoehne

Allison Lehman has joined the Swiftsure Yachts team, giving the Seattle-based yacht brokerage a full-time presence in the San Francisco Bay Area. “We couldn’t be happier that Allison is officially joining our team,” Swiftsure partner Ryan Helling explains. “We have col-

laborated with her over the years on a number of sales and have always felt that she would be a good addition to our team.” Lehman has been a broker in the Bay Area for 23 years, working with both sail and power boats. During that time, she co-founded Golden Gate

Yacht sales. Lehman’s love for sailing is purely organic, she discovered the joy of sailing while racing on the Bay and then gained more appreciation restoring and cruising her own Islander 28. She became a yacht broker shortly after purchasing her boat. “Here was a job where

I could interact with people on a daily basis about a product that I felt passionate about. Yacht sales turned out to be my perfect job.” Lehman has sold boats and sailed all over the world, including Turkey, New Zealand, Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, Mexico, England, Grenadines, and New England. Lehman and her husband cruised their Sabre 426 on the West Coast from the Broughtons in British Columbia to the Sea of Cortez in Mexico and back. “Allison is a great fit,” says Helling. “She’s an experienced offshore sailor dedicated to finding the right boat for clients. This also enhances our presence on the Bay. We find a lot of Bay Area customers looking to Seattle for excellent yachts and vice versa.”

Some marine trade businesses in Port Townsend are shifting operations to manufacture personal protective equipment (PPE) for use by people in the front lines of battling the COVID-19 virus in Jefferson County. “Basically, we love our nurses and doctors too,” said Gwendolyn Tracy, whose Fine Yacht Interiors business is usually devoted to fabrics for upholstery, mattresses, and curtains. Now, she and others at the Port of Port Townsend are producing face shields and fabric face masks that can be used by medical workers or others in the community. The work of these local marine trades is part of a national movement to manufacture reusable masks from cloth or other materials. Disposable masks are in critically short supply for frontline workers across the world, many of whom are reusing masks that were designed to be used once, then tossed away. The cloth masks, in contrast, can be washed or otherwise cleaned and sterilized for repeated use. “There is an overwhelming and unanimous sense of support for the Port and for one another as we all work through this,” said Port of Port Townsend Executive Director Eron Berg. “This part of the community is highly unified in its objective to get through this.” National suppliers of fabrics have also stepped up and are providing the raw materials for mask makers across the country. “We stepped into the fray with what we thought was a helpful tool,” Tracy said. “We’re working with Jefferson Healthcare to help fill the gap in their inventory and protect our community in the midst of the crisis.” For

Small Craft Advisory may Become Small Craft Warning By Scott Sistek

Anyone who checks the weather and sea conditions before heading out on a boat is (hopefully) aware of the various marine weather warnings issued by the National Weather Service to help guide whether it's safe to be on the waters.

A staple of those marine advisories is ready for a transformation. The National Weather Service is set to change the term of the familiar "Small Craft Advisory" to a new term: "Small Craft Warning." The move comes amid a proposed major overhaul of the

current NWS Watch/Warning/ Advisory system after researchers found that "Advisory" was "widely misunderstood" and confused with a "Watch" while even the "Watch" vs. "Warning" terms were confusing. The proposal will remove all "advisory" headings

and instead those events will just come with an appropriate but more generic headline. F o r e x a m p l e , a " Wi n t e r Weather Advisory" for Seattle would just become "1-3 inches of snow is expected in the Seattle area." The exception is the Small Craft Advisory since that is, in essence, a call to action now for mariners and thus would be renamed "Small Craft Warning." However, while the name changes, the criteria will remain the same. For the Pacific Northwest and California, it's for sustained winds or frequent gusts of 21-33 knots (24-38 mph) and/or wave heights reaching 10 feet or higher. Small craft warnings can also be issued for rough bar conditions, such as those frequently occurring near the mouth of the Columbia River. Neither the National Weather Service nor the Coast Guard defines what size boat qualifies as a "small craft." "Any vessel that may be adversely affected by Small Craft Advisory criteria should be considered a small craft," NOAA says on their Small Craft Advisory/Warning definition page. "Other considerations include the experience of the vessel operator, and the type, overall size, and sea worthiness of the vessel."

West Marine and Ocean Reef Help Out During Pandemic By Schelleen Rathkopf

In the search for innovative and impactful ways to support communities nationwide, West Marine is working with multiple researchers to transform Ocean Reef snorkel masks into respirators for hospitals and health care systems. The company is also working at a local level to make donations that meet hospital-specific needs. West Marine, a leading retailer for the boating and outdoor industry, sent several masks to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Sutter Medical Group, and Milwaukee School of Engineering for their teams to determine what adaptions are necessary to transform the masks into respirators. After several weeks of testing and coordination with Ocean Reef, the manufacturer of

the snorkel masks, the masks are ready to be distributed to hospitals and health care systems around the country. “We kept seeing reports of scuba masks with the potential of being adapted into respirators and we realized this was a real possibility to do our part during this pandemic,” said Ken Seipel, CEO of West Marine. “We’ve worked closely with all of these organizations to develop the appropriate adaptor for the masks and as the masks continue to be deemed acceptable PPE, we are ready to begin distributing.” West Marine plans on distributing approximately 1,200 masks to hospitals able to utilize the adapted masks. Ocean Reef has also pledged to donate the same number of adaptors so hos-

Ocean Reef's Artia mask and the "Aria Protection Adaptor" kit. Both Ocean Reef and West Marine are working on distributing the kits.

pitals will receive the full kit. Testing has completed at Alta Bates Summit Medical Foundation in Oakland, California, and 200 masks have been sent for use in the ICU and emergency departments. Partnerships with additional hospitals are in the process and masks will be sent once testing is complete.

“We are thankful for the long retail partnership with West Marine and are thrilled to support their efforts by donating 1,400 APA+RD40/20 adapters to this project,” said Ocean Reef in a statement.

Targa 46 Finland is often ranked as the happiest country in the world as the Finns have high incomes, health care for all, and a top education system. Finland also has Oy Botnia Marin Ab, the makers of the original oﬀshore motorboat, the Targa, which might also explain why everyone there is just so darn happy all the time. If you look at the dealer map on the Oy Botnia Marin Ab website, it is undeniable that the Targa’s concentration is in Europe. In fact, the map has so many dealers in Europe that one can’t even make out the country boundaries on this map due to the plethora of dealer locator icons. Outside of Europe, however, there are only three other Targa dealers: there’s one in Japan, one in Greenland and one (just one) Targa dealer in all of North America! That one dealer is Matt Hardin, owner of Cardinal Yacht Sales in Bellingham, Washington. Targa is the pinnacle of oﬀshore boating and the Targa 46 has been described as the

34 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2020

flagship of the fleet. Since 1976, Oy Botnia Marin Ab has been perfecting their boat designs and the yachts are renowned for its unparalleled quality and handling. “Targa is very far away from an off-the-shelf product,” explains Robert Carpelan, Targa sales director. “We provide our customers with a fully personalized boat. You choose the color, upholstery, navigation systems, pantry equipment, fittings and so on. Then we build it.” I caught up with Matt Hardin and his lovely family at a private island in the San Juans this past month to take a peak at the Targa 46. Maybe it was the fact that we met at a private island up for sale and we could all dream a little, or that we were social distancing responsibly in Washington’s greatest boating playground, but one step onto the Targa, and I knew the Finns were on to something. “It’s interesting to discuss the Targa because we all love them so much,” shares

Matt Hardin during an exchange we had after our visit in the San Juans. “We just can’t go back to other boats. They are built to be used and to be driven in tough conditions. We all drive so many boats through the service side of my business, and now we have been totally spoiled by our Targa experience.” Currently, Cardinal Yachts has a new Targa 27.2 ﬂybridge model, a new 27.2 hardtop model, and a couple Targa tradeins from owners who upgraded to larger Targa’s. It’s the perfect yacht for those who want to explore and enjoy the sea, even when conditions of the sea get rough like they can in Puget Sound. Owners have described the Targa as the ultimate “all weather sport utility boat” or “the 4x4 of the sea” and most have no intentions of ever looking outside the Targa lineup. “As Targa 32 owner Ed Starinchak told me once,” shares Hardin, “the Targa totally changed his boating paradigm.” This sentiment

extra foldable wind shield or Bimini top. The swim step is also brilliant and from where we easily launched a couple of sea kayaks. Due to the size of the engine room in the 46, it can be equipped with twin Volvo Penta D8-IPS800s for breathtaking performance. Customization is a key component and prior to COVID-19, many owners enjoyed visits to the factory in Finland to watch their boats being built. “It seems that Targa has spent the years refining the original concept of an allweather sport utility boat,” recounted Hardin. “Without massively redesigning the boats to keep up with trends, they have focused on a constant refinement.” The Targa line is the perfect boat for anyone that has impeccable taste,

appreciates great design, and enjoys smooth boating. It also seems to be adding to the happiness factor in all of Europe— maybe it can do the same thing here!

came after running the boat to Seattle in gale force winds. “I figured he was a pretty good person to hear this from since his last boat was a bluewater sailboat that he cruised to the South Pacific with his wife and two kids.” Other observations often shared by Targa owners is just how quiet the boats are while running from idle to a full 30knot cruising speed. Being able to converse with everyone on board while underway is really satisfying. They are also warm and comfortable and with the teak, trim, practicality of the floor plans, walkability of the decks, owning a Targa makes people very happy. The 46 sleeps six comfortably, has two heads, and a salon area that feels airy and spacious. The flybridge seats seven persons comfortably and can be equipped with an

HOORAY BOATERS! Every year more and more boaters are preventing small oil spills from spoiling Washington waters. You can too.

High Tech Fishing Sector Saltwater Fly Rod

Get a free small oil spill kit. Email Washington Sea Grant Boating Program Specialist Aaron Barnett at aaronb5@uw.edu or contact your local Coast Guard Auxiliary for a safety check and a free small oil spill kit. Find a Coast Guard Auxiliary examiner near you.

The Sector Saltwater Fly Rod from Scott is the successor to the popular Scott Meridian, a fly rod recognized with many design awards. The Sector builds on the Meridian, and among the new features is the Carbon Web—a network of multi-directional carbon fibers that reinforces the main unidirectional fibers to counteract torsional forces and provides positive long line pickups for quick recasting. Also new are the CeRecoil stripping guides. These guides combine nickel titanium “shape memory” frames with zirconia inserts for a guide that is corrosion resistant, will return to its original shape if bent, and has a low coefficient

of friction for better line shooting. For increased stealth on the water, the guides are coated using a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process to give a low-reflection black finish and a tougher finish overall. The Sector also sports Scott’s trademark natural blank finish, keeping the Sector rods lightweight yet strong. The rods are available in about 18 different models, between 6-weight and 15-weight rods, lengths between 8’ 4” and 9’, and between two and four pieces for each rod. Wherever your flyfishing adventures take you, you’ll need a reliable fly rod that can handle whatever you ask of it. Check out scottflyrod.com. Rods sell for $985.

Digital Delivery By Evin Moore

Keeping Yourself Distracted As the weather improves and the Pacific Northwest slowly starts to open back up, many are debating whether to stay home or head out to the water for the first time this season. No matter what you choose to do, you’ll be able to enjoy this month’s Digital Delivery of apps and podcasts! Starting things off, we have Fish Stories, a podcast with the sole mission of preserving the fishing tales and memories of the average angler. Fish Stories is made up of episodes often submitted by listeners, who record their own stories. The project was founded by Buddy Seiner, who began fishing with his father when he was just two years old. With over a decade of experience in nonprofit management and communications, Buddy wanted to provide a place for all fishing stories to be collected and preserved for future generations of anglers. Episodes can range from local anglers recounting the day they caught the record-busting walleye to the Executive Director of the Russia Fishing Federation giving an in-depth talk about sportfishing in Russia. Where other platforms might rely on high-definition videos and expensive graphics and editing, the Fish Stories Podcast is audio only, ignoring the bells and whistles for pure storytelling. Head to fishstories.org to start listening today. When you finally do get out of the house, no matter where you decide to go, you’ll want a reliable navigation device to help get you there. It’s a good idea to have a navigation app on your phone as a backup in case your chart plotter malfunctions. A phone navigation app also comes in handy on smaller boats without a chart plotter. The iSail GPS app uses NOAA nautical raster charts that download to your device, making them available even when you cannot connect to data. A simple-to-use, no-frills app, iSail GPS makes it easy to set two points of interest and determine the course, heading, bearing, distance, cross track error, velocity made good, and ETA. Popular waypoints, routes, and tracks can all be downloaded. The app stores up to 1,024 charts without the use of cellular data. In case of man overboard situations, a pinpoint can be made instantly on the map to mark the

location the crew member went overboard. The iSail GPS app is available for $7.99 for iOS. If you’re the outdoorsy type, maybe you can celebrate the return of fishing by trekking far from home and finding a new favorite fishing spot with apps like the onX Hunt app. Already popular with hunters, hikers, and campers, the onX Hunt app can turn your smartphone into a GPS with aerial view topographical maps. Anglers far off the beaten trail can use it to find secluded river and lake fishing spots and then find their way back at the end of the trip. Set waypoints to find your camp location, vehicle, fishing spots, and other important destinations. The premium version has proprietary maps that include public lands operated by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Landowner names are displayed when you are near private lands. The onX app has the largest map database of roads and trails nationwide and a subscription to onX costs $30 a year for one state. A $100 a year subscription gives you access to all 50 states. The basic onX app is free to download for iOS and Android. While you’re getting away from it all, you’ll also be far away from the lights and pollution of the cities, and the star gazing opportunities will be far more clear and vivid. Pouring yourself a drink and stargazing can be a very relaxing way to end the day. And if all that doesn’t persuade you, remember that for thousands of years, mariners navigated by the stars alone, so spending a little time staring at the night sky pays homage to our nautical forebears. To aid in your celestial navigation, a star gazing app like Star Walk 2 can be helpful. This app can identify individual stars, constellations, planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and structures like the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station. The augmented reality features of the app allow you to point your smartphone’s camera at the sky and all points of interest will be highlighted on screen. A time feature allows users to project the locations of stars and planets at different times of the night and the day. Receive up-to-date astronomy news so you never miss a meteor shower or astronomy event again. Download the Star Walk 2 app for free on iOS or Android today.

Boating with Missy

By Melissa Gervais

It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere My next-door neighbors are also boaters, and I was recently invited to their house for a social-distance happy hour. I took my chair, snacks, disinfecting wipes, glass, and wine. It was weird, there were no big hugs, and we stayed on the front lawn, in our separate chairs, six feet apart. We started our conversation with a few comments to address the awkwardness, and then we started talking about boating. How was the boat? Is the winter cover off? Have you done the bottom paint? Zincs? New gear? When are you heading out? Then it got weird again. At the beginning of the pandemic, many of us thought, “Piece of cake. I am just going to embrace all of this isolation and spend the summer on the boat.” Then the reality hit, and our world started closing in. Marine parks closed. Boat ramps closed. Island destinations closed. Outstations and yacht clubs, all closed. The Coast Guard announced a restriction of all marine activities to essential travel only. Now, what to do? Not to make light of a very difficult situation, but I thought it might be time to turn off the TV and find a distraction. I set out to revisit a time-honored boating dilemma that my girlfriends and I discuss every summer at the beginning of boating season. We do our homework, put together a list, and then come together for our annual pilgrimage to answer this age-old question: Why can’t we find a drinkable boxed wine? It just makes so much sense on the boat. No breakable glass bottles and the plastic bladders take up less space and offer more wine. There is less garbage, and there is also a tap that keeps oxygen out so the wine can last up to four weeks once opened (Although this last benefit isn’t always relevant). A standard 750 ml bottle of wine holds about five glasses of wine, whereas a typical box holds four bottles of wine or twenty glasses, give or take depending on the pour size. Boxed wine got a bad rap initially because wineries used them to offload some of their less popular blends. Then there was the lawsuit that claimed that some boxed wines contained high levels of arsenic. This is all in the past now, and many boaters swear by their cardboard varietals. For many years, my go-to white wine was from Robert Mondavi because it was available in a magnum. That was a start. Because of the large bottle size, I had to ration my consumption, and everyone on the dock thought this was very entertaining. Especially when, “day one Missy” was on “day two Bob.”

44 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2020

My new go-to CBG (cheap but good) is a red wine from Italy called Montalto Sicilia Nero D’Avola. But unfortunately, it’s only available in a regular-sized wine bottle. I have called and emailed the vineyard several times to ask them why they can’t put their wine in a bladder. No response. Some of my friends buy plastic bladders on Amazon and fill them with their favorite wines, but this is just too much work for me. As my Italian is getting better and better, I plan to just keep calling. This year our group of want-to-be sommeliers expanded the quest to include Tetra Paks and cans. Tetra Paks hold 500 ml of wine, although there are a few one-serving, mini Tetra Paks available, which are quite perfect for a quiet lunch on the beach or to toss in a backpack. When they are finished, you can roll them into a tiny ball, so they don’t take up a lot of room in the recycling bin. Last summer, my sister Heidi hooked me up with bubbles in a can. Occasionally, I enjoy a glass of champagne or rosé in the afternoon, but don’t want to open a whole bottle and have it go flat. She gave me The Bubbles by Underwood, and it was deelish. Until then, I had never considered wine in a can, so I was surprised at all the available options. These single-serving vin vessels have clever names, beautiful labels, and an incredible mix of flavors, including watermelon, cranberry, grapefruit, peach, and citrus. The advertising claims that they are the perfect solution for drinking alone, or when you want red and your guests want white. I will keep trying, and I know I will find a new corrugated favorite; however, there is still a challenge with the optics. When I spend the time to set a beautiful table or make a creative appetizer to take to a dock party, I don’t want to put a box or Pak on the table. They are the sweatpants of the wine world. To solve this, I purchased a beautiful decanter on Amazon, that is made of BPA-free, high quality, shatterproof plastic, and even has a built-in aerator. Very Jackie O and no one has to know. I hope we will all be raising a glass on the back deck soon. If you have a favorite, please send your recommendations my way at Missy@missygoesboating.com. This is the kind of homework I don’t mind doing. Missy grew up boating with her family in the Gulf Islands. She works for a yacht services company based in Vancouver, B.C. and boats most weekends from April to October. A self-proclaimed weekend warrior, she enjoys blogging about everything cool for women who boat at missygoesboating.com.

Escape. Breathe. Relax.

This is Freedom. This is your destiny.

On Watch By Peter Schrappen

The Common Sense Approach A show of hands, please—Who among us predicted the COVID-19 pandemic? What if I told you that a quick Google search of “1918 flu economic impact” would result in a report from the trusted Federal Reserve Board of St. Louis 13 years ago that predicted our current situation? Talk about getting it right. What the authors foresaw in 2007 rings eerily true. Here’s a snippet: “The possibility of a worldwide influenza pandemic in the near future is of growing concern for many countries around the globe. The World Bank estimates that a global influenza pandemic would cost the world economy $800 billion and kill tens of millions of people. Researchers at the CDC calculate that deaths in the United States could reach 207,000 and the initial cost to the economy could approach $166 billion, or roughly 1.5 percent of the GDP.” Right now, you are probably thinking, “That’s great, Peter, but where does that leave us now?” Well, about the same time Governor Jay Inslee flipped the switch off on economic activity, boating, and fishing to flatten the curve, boating and fishing enthusiasts, including yours truly, sprung into action to both ensure our voice was heard when the reopening conversations occurred. Faithful readers of On Watch know by now that the magic occurs when your values and messages can percolate up to policy makers. This connection occurs when your voice stands out from the chorus in a respectful and cogent manner. Fortunately, our boating and marine business perspective was heard and our approach paid off in spades these last couple of weeks. Looking for some highlights? Look no further. Boating and fishing were shut down, but were greenlighted back on May 5. As we go to press here, shrimping looks to open in May. Boating businesses that can be open have expanded from only essential workers (vessel repair and marina workers) to boatyards and boat and kayak rental businesses. Boaters can look forward to May 15th to buy a new or used boat with their dealer or broker. Other industries have not had the same amount of momentum that we have enjoyed. What sets us apart? For one, boaters are no strangers to boating safely and responsibly. Washingtonians can thank boaters (via Recreational Boating Association of Washington) and the industry (via Northwest Marine Trade Association; my employer) for the now 400,000 boaters who have their boater education cards. Even more, RBAW and NMTA have not wasted time getting our voices inserted into the reopening conversations. Joint letters into the Governor’s office have come on the heels of emails and phone calls to his leadership team. Data, memos, and new-and-improved safety guide-

46 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2020

lines have all trickled in. It’s the same advocacy recipe as before, but just with more urgency. As far as anyone can tell, reopening boating and fishing was not on anyone’s advocacy work plan originally. Another tried and true principle of finding influential like-minded partners has served our community well in this advocacy effort. The Association of Washington Business (AWB) and the Washington Retail Association (WRA) have both included marine industry professionals in their campaigns to assist in the efforts to open up the state of Washington. Their relationships augmented our voice, and when we weren’t always reaching key decision makers, they were. Wrapping up here, you might be wondering what does boating in June 2020 look like? Fortunately, Boat US is on the scene, too. As you venture back out, practice these principles:

Limit the people on board to the people in your immediate household.

2. Stay at least 6 feet away from others when launching your boat. 3. Wear a mask and one-time use gloves when fueling and encountering high-touch areas. 4. Don’t raft up with other boaters. 5. “Pack it in, pack it out.” Or as my father would have said, “Use good common sense.” Call ahead to make sure your boat can be pumped out and your favorite marina is open. As Governor Inslee, an experienced mariner in his own right once said, “Think of this reopening as turning up a dimmer switch.” The good news is that we are open and pretty much back in business (although I am still concerned about boat manufacturing, which is not quite open yet as we go to press on this issue). The unfortunate news is that this entire situation changes day by day and if there’s a spike in COVID-19 cases, we could slide back to where we found ourselves in March. As I’ve previously written, I’m reminded of the game “Chutes and Ladders.” Until next month, I’ll see you from a safe distance on the water. Peter Schrappen is the Northwest Marine Trade Association’s Government Affairs Director and the Clean Boating Foundation’s Executive Director. Additionally, he serves on the boards of the Boating Safety Advisory Council, Washington Boating Alliance, and U.S. Superyacht Association.

Still Vigilant but Back on the Water Life on the water is slowly getting back to normal as the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) cracks open the door to fishing opportunities after a monthlong statewide closure tied to the COVID-19 “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order. A few early-summer salmon fisheries start this month and the highlight will be the coho fishery in central Puget Sound, where in recent years, the fishing has been nothing short of stellar. This marine area is located from the Apple Cove Point-Edwards Point boundary south to the northern tip of Vashon Island. Fishing is open June 1 through November 11 for coho, and beginning July 16, hatchery Chinook may be retained. Most coho are not big and average 2 to 4 pounds, but are wonderful table fare as their main diet consists of abundant krill. Coho tend to be found in the shipping lanes from Kingston-Apple Cove Point south to Jefferson Head. Other productive areas include Richmond Beach; West Point south of Shilshole Bay; and the eastern side of Bainbridge Island from Point Monroe south to Restoration Point. For those seeking out an early-summer Chinook (averaging 10 to 20 pounds), the Tulalip Bay Bubble Fishery – located just north of Everett – is open each week from 12:01 a.m. Fridays through 11:59 a.m. Mondays only (closed on June 15 for a tribal ceremonial fishery). Fishing is closed east of the line from Mission Point to Hermosa Point. Southern Puget Sound south of the Narrows Bridge is open for hatchery Chinook and has been a decent early-summer fishery at places like Point Fosdick and off Fox Island’s east side at Gibson Point, Toy Point, and Fox Point. Lingcod fishing is open daily through June 15 in the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Sekiu east to Port Angeles; San Juan Islands, both sides of Whidbey Island, and northern, central, south-central, and southern Puget Sound. Look for lingcod at Possession Bar on the south side of Whidbey Island; the breakwaters at Elliott Bay, Michael Yuasa of New York with a Shilshole, and Edmonds summer hatchery chinook that he marinas; Point Evans, south caught in Puget Sound. of Hat Island, southeast of

Alki Point near the green buoys, Toliva Shoal, and the pinnacles and rocky-bottom structures around the San Juan Islands. While freedom to wet a line has been eased, anglers are asked to play by the rules of social distancing guidelines outlined below. Also before jumping on your boat, visit the WDFW website at wdfw.wa.gov/fishing to view what is open or closed. If public safety concerns develop, WDFW reiterated that they could reclose fishing areas.

Before You Go • Check what is open. While many state-managed land destinations are open for day use, other local, tribal, and federal land may still be closed. • Stick to day trips close to home. Overnight stays are not permitted. This could change once the Governor Jay Inslee approves the next phase. • Stay with immediate household members only. Recreation with those outside of your household creates new avenues for virus transmission. • Come prepared. Visitors may ﬁnd reduced or limited restroom services as staﬀ begin the process to reopen facilities at wildlife areas and water access sites. You are advised to bring your own soap, water, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper, as well as a mask or bandana to cover your nose and mouth. • Enjoy the outdoors when healthy. If you have symptoms of fever, coughing, or shortness of breath, save your outdoor adventure for another day.

When You Get There • Avoid crowds. Be prepared to go somewhere else or come back another time if your destination looks crowded. • Practice physical distancing. Keep six feet between you and those outside your immediate household. Launch one boat at a time to give others enough space to launch safely. Leave at least one parking space between your vehicle and the vehicle next to you. Trailer your boat in the same way. • Wash your hands often. Keep up on personal hygiene and bring your own water, soap, and hand sanitizer with you. • Pack out what you pack in. Take any garbage with you, including disposable gloves and masks.

Other Upcoming Fishing Opportunities • On the coast, Chinook fishing was scheduled to open on June 20 at Neah Bay, La Push, Westport, and Ilwaco; although as of press time each port remained closed due to COVID-19 concerns. Anglers should monitor the WDFW website for updates. • The spot shrimp season in Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands was scheduled to reopen on May 16, but no specific details were provided prior to the magazine’s press deadline, so anglers should consult the WDFW website to see what is open this month. • As of mid-May, WDFW staff still were in limbo on when the inner-Strait of de Fuca and Puget Sound halibut fisheries would reopen. Heather Hall, a WDFW halibut resource manager, indicated they were communicating with local port and community officials on when they could safely open the fishery. Anglers should check the WDFW for updates. • For those making summer fishing plans in Alaska and Canada, the travel ban was expected to be lifted soon, although many small-town communities were unsure if they could handle out-of-town visitors. Before heading north, check for updates on the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s website at adfg.alaska.gov and the Fisheries and Oceans Canada website at dfo-mpo.gc.ca/index-eng.htm.

Ask Nigel By Nigel Barron

What About the Fuel? I recently heard from a reader asking about fuel: With the price of fuel as low as it is, is now a good time to fill up the tanks? As with all the best questions and answers in life, it depends. The general principles are similar, but gasoline and diesel act diﬀerently and lose their potency at diﬀerent rates when stored. Every expert I spoke to, agreed on two major points that are true of either diesel or gasoline: 1) It’s always best to leave a tank full, and 2) if you’re going to leave a tank of fuel dormant, put some stabilizer or preservative in it. With gasoline, the general sense from the refiners and petroleum companies is that gasoline starts losing its effectiveness after about 90 days. That doesn’t mean it won’t work; it just won’t burn as well. In part, it depends on if you’re using gasoline with ethanol in it. Ethanol absorbs moisture and can turn into a jelly that will ruin the fuel system. With diesel, you have a little more time. Gasoline can go 3-6 months before problems start, diesel can last 6-12 months before losing effectiveness. With both gasoline and diesel, it can come down to how the fuel is stored that will make the biggest difference. In the best case scenario, the fuel is stored in an airtight container, at cool temperatures. On a boat with a fixed tank, that’s not possible. There is a vent line and a lot less control over the ambient temperature. If you top off your tanks now, the question is: Are you going to use it in a timely manner? If you fill up your tank with the general sense that you’ll burn through it before the end of summer, then do it. But if you’re filling your tank now just because fuel is cheap, you may want to think harder about it.

Is it a good time to fill up your tanks? Well, it depends on what you’re planning to do. Filling your tanks now might save you $500, but if you don’t use your boat for five months, you may end up paying a price later for fuel system problems. (Photo: Chris Babcock)

First, you’ll want to get a good fuel stabilizer like StaBil, one of the more common fuel stabilizers, that has a different additive for storing the fuel versus treating it. You’ll want to make sure the tank is full for the logical reason that a full tank leaves less room for condensation, which ultimately leads to less water in the fuel. If you’re going to fill the tank, but may not use the fuel as fast as you had hoped, then make sure you have a good fuel filter like Racor, one of the more common ones with the required water separator. Lastly, look at the difference between cheap gasoline at $2.50 a gallon versus gasoline at $3.50 a gallon. With a 500-gallon tank, you’re going to save $500. Not a trivial amount, but at what cost? If you don’t use the fuel and

If you top off your tanks now, the question is: Are you going to use that fuel in a timely manner? it starts to go bad, you’ve got to figure out what to do with it. Or worse, that money-saving fuel contaminates your fuel system. Diesel has its own set of issues. It’s not as refined as gasoline and is heavier, which means it needs more additives. Diesel also supports microbial growth that people often call algae, but it isn’t algae, just to be clear. Regardless, the presence of water leads to this growth. So just like with gasoline, it’s best to have a full tank and a stabilizer. Sta-Bil has an additive for diesel that they recommend using with every fill-up, so you don’t get the growth that will gum up the injectors. Considering all of this, is it a good idea to fill up? If you have a big enough tank, and have thought about how much fuel you are going to use and how best to preserve it, it just might be. Have a boat related question? Send it my way to Nigel@NWYachting.com and who knows! Maybe we’ll explore the answer to your question next time! Nigel Barron was born in England and developed his sea legs at an early age.

The Port of Seattle, like many ports in Washington, is taking a big hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel in and out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, owned by the Port of Seattle, is down 90-95%, port spokesman Peter McGraw said. Cruise ship travel, which pumps $900 million a year into the local economy, is at a standstill. The Port of Seattle, like many T ports in Washington, is taking a big hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel in and out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, owned by the Port of Seattle, is down 90-95%, port spokesman Peter McGraw said. Cruise ship travel, which pumps $900 million a year into the local economy, is at a standstill. Yet the Port of Seattle’s diverse portfolio is enabling the port district to stave off the full force of the pandemic-induced economic storm. A diverse portfolio means diverse sources of revenue for the port besides transportation: property tax levies, lease and rental fees, charges for services and the use of land and other facilities, proceeds from bonds sold for capital proj-

ect construction, and grants. Like a smart stock investor, the port owns some investments that are holding steady while others decline. The Port of Seattle is benefitting from 100 years of wise investment and its important location for global trade. The Northwest Seaport Alliance, a port authority created by the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma – operates a container complex that is the third-largest in North America and, according to the World Shipping Council, the 41st largest in the world. The Port of Seattle owns World Trade Center West, with 5,777 square feet of office space; Terminal 106 Building, an 18,800-square-foot warehouse; nearly two acres of industrial land; Fishermen’s Terminal; Harbor Marina Corporate Center;

the Maritime Industrial Center; Shilshole Bay and Salmon Bay marinas; and four other maritime properties. Shilshole Bay Marina has what is touted to be the largest liveaboard community on the West Coast. Now, as the spread of the COVID-19 virus slows and testing becomes more available, the Port of Seattle is moving ahead with major capital projects to keep people employed and bolster the post-pandemic economic rebound. “Our primary focus is economic development and jobs,” said Peter Steinbrueck, president of the Port of Seattle Commission. “At our airport, seaport, terminals and marinas, we are going to be an important resource in recovery. [The economy] is deep in this malaise right now, but we’re going to minimize the economic

impact of the pandemic and bolster our businesses’ ability to rebound.” The Port of Seattle is not alone. Economic diversity is helping many of Washington’s 75 voter-created port districts weather the downturn caused by COVID-19. The Evergreen State is a gateway to the Pacific Rim. If it’s made, grown, or refined in Washington — whether aircraft engines, ag products, or petroleum — its journey to overseas markets begins at a port. According to the state Department of Commerce, Washington is the fourth-largest exporting state in the United States — after New York, California, and Texas. Washington’s ports handle 8% of all U.S. exports and receive 6% of the nation's imports. “Trade through Washington ports for the first three months of the year was relatively even, averaging about $12 billion a month with March recording the highest figure,” said Penny Thomas, spokeswoman for the state Department of Commerce. “This suggests that the impact of COVID can’t really be seen in the data at this point.” Washington’s port districts also develop land for industrial and commercial needs; buy, lease and sell property; establish and operate foreign trade zones; promote tourism; subsidize space for start-up businesses; and own and operate cold storage, log-export yards, and boat launch ramps. Here’s a look at how several port districts are responding to the pandemic.

PORT OF SEATTLE The Port of Seattle Commission is using the pandemic-induced slowdown to

accelerate capital development projects to help fuel recovery once the pandemic ends. The $1.5 billion in capital development will directly generate an average of 700 fulltime construction jobs per month, or 1,300 full-time and part-time jobs, according to the Port’s website – not including 1,100 more indirect jobs through a network of suppliers and construction support. To assist its tenants and prepare for recovery, the Port of Seattle: • Barred eviction of port tenants. • Deferred business rents for the months of April through July. • Deferred moorage fees for liveaboard and other moorage customers for the months of April through June. • Obtained $192 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation as part of the CARES Act to offset financial damage caused by the reduction of air travel. • Is proceeding with modernization and expansion of the north terminals at SeaTac International Airport. • Is proceeding with expansion of SeaTac’s International Arrivals terminals. • Is proceeding with replacement of SeaTac’s passenger loading bridges and improvements to the airfield pavement. • Is proceeding with replacement of the north berth at Terminal 46. • Postponed construction of an additional cruise terminal that had been proposed at Terminal 46. “With global cruising on pause right now, it’s appropriate that we consider coming back to this project in the future when we

have a clearer picture of the market,” Port Executive Director Steve Metruck said on the Port’s website. • Some businesses at Fisherman's Terminal remained open and operating under proper protocols to serve the North Pacific fishing fleet. Terminal 91 remained open as well — moorage, storage and equipment services — to the commercial fishing fleet. “As one of the largest public-sector builders in the region, the Port is uniquely positioned to help lead the region’s recovery,” Steinbrueck said. “Our goal is to help keep construction workers employed by providing certainty to large public works construction projects, accelerating some projects where feasible, and by supporting our private-sector partners.” The Port of Seattle’s 2020 operating budget is $470 million; its 2020 capital budget is $640 million, according to information provided by port spokesman McGraw. “Our diversified portfolio helps keep these [capital] projects moving,” McGraw said.

PORT OF EVERETT The Port of Everett owns and operates a seaport with eight shipping berths and is the state’s third-largest container port. The Port owns and operates the largest public marina on the West Coast and owns 3,000 acres of waterfront property. The Port of Everett has a $102 million operating and capital budget and supports more than 35,000 jobs in the region. Sixty percent — or 3 out of 5 jobs — in Snohomish County are tied to trade.

WH AT ' S A P O R T D I S T R I CT ? H OW T H E L AW D EFI N ES T H E A R E AS In 1911, the Washington State Legislature authorized voters to create port districts for the purpose of economic development. The Port of Seattle was Washington’s ﬁrst port district; in the next 10 years, port districts would be formed in Vancouver, Bremerton, Kennewick, Brownsville, Tacoma, Everett, Kingston, Kalama, Silverdale, Allyn, Bellingham and Longview. There are now 75 port districts in Washington. The statute RCW 53.04.010 spells out the responsibilities of port districts: “Port districts are hereby authorized to be established in the various counties of the state for the purposes of acquisition, construction, maintenance, operation, development and regulation within the district of harbor improvements, rail or motor vehicle transfer and terminal facilities, water transfer and terminal facilities, air transfer and terminal facilities, or any combination of such transfer and terminal facilities, and other commercial transportation, transfer, handling, storage and terminal facilities, and industrial improvements.”

56 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2020

To keep the economic engine running, the Port of Everett: • Established a COVID response team. • Advocated on the federal and state level for relief funding. • Advocated for federal infrastructure financing to keep projects moving forward. • Deferred capital projects. • Instituted a hiring freeze. • Provided rent relief to commercial tenants and moorage relief upon application and approval. • Prepared a return-to-work strategy. • Put in place an economic recovery plan to facilitate, now and in the future, “a more rapid economic recovery, job replacement, and continuing economic development in furtherance of the Port’s fundamental purpose.” • Supported innovation that emerged in response to the pandemic, for example, procuring gallons of hand sanitizer created by a local distillery. While marina operations have been modified, the Port’s seaport remains in full operation.

PORT OF CAMAS-WASHOUGAL The Port of Camas-Washougal, on the Columbia River, owns a 350-slip marina, Grove Field airport, an industrial park, and parks and trails. “[The marina] serves more than 7,000 boats every year,” according to the Port’s website. “The Port is home to 54 businesses [and] produces over six jobs for each acre of land it leases. There are 19 buildings totaling nearly 300,000 square feet on Port property with an occupancy rate of 100%.” To keep its economic engine moving and plan for post-pandemic recovery, the Port of Camas-Washougal: • Established a rent relief program for port tenants. • Continued planning the development of its Waterfront at Parker’s Landing, a 20-acre riverfront community of commercial, retail, residential and mixed uses. Final design of Phase 1 will be completed in mid- to late-2020, with plans to break ground in 2021. • Is proceeding with slurry sealing of the airport runway and taxiway. • Kept its boat launch open, while reducing the number of launch and retrieval lanes to two to ensure proper social distancing.

amphitheater; a marine terminal, business park, and facilities for manufacturing and warehousing; and developable industrial land. More than 30 companies, employing more than a total of 1,000 people, lease Port land. The Port of Kalama Commission: • Delegated to the Port executive director limited authority to amend leases. • Surveyed its business tenants and clients to assess economic impacts and needs. • Approved rent forgiveness and rentforbearance agreements, depending on need. The latter spreads two months’ rent out over two years. • Kept the marina and parks open, but closed playgrounds and canceled scheduled events to prevent the spread of the virus. • Limited in-office work by Port employees. The Port reports that terminal operations continue and cargo handling remains steady but slower because of enhanced safety.

PORT OF KINGSTON The Port of Kingston, on the Kitsap Peninsula, owns the Port of Kingston Marina, SaltAir Beach, the waterfront Mike Wallace Park, and land leased by the Washington State Ferries for the Kingston/Edmonds ferry landing.

The Port of Kingston responded quickly to the pandemic: • Closed port offices; all port employees are working remotely. • Kept marina restrooms and laundry open to marina liveaboards. • Kept the fuel dock open, though customers must call first for availability. • Reviewed and revised its 2020 budget. • Reviewed and updated all contracts. • Conducted a risk assessment, inventoried assets, and prioritized its capital projects. • Examined options for rent and rate relief for port tenants. • Reevaluated its goals for 2020 and its five-year plan. Washington’s ports, long a symbol of recreation, transportation and trade in the Evergreen State, may soon be remembered for their role in bolstering the state’s economic rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic. Gov. Jay Inslee once said of ports: “Washington relies heavily on international trade, the competitiveness of the ports and the good-paying jobs that keep freight moving.”

Richard Arlin Walker is a journalist and mariner living in Anacortes, Washington.

Today, the Port consists of a boat ramp, a small park, and about 100 feet of beach. There are three port commissioners, all who typically run unopposed in the elections. The district collects about $20,000 a year in property taxes. There was no economic impact from the COVID-19 virus except, perhaps, for the cost of signage reminding people to maintain social distancing. However, the Port of Eglon has a rich history. Established in 1919 by Eglon voters, the Port was a gateway to the peninsula before the rural community was connected to to the rest of the county by road. Mosquito ﬂeet ferries delivered people and goods at the Port dock, built next to a post office, store, and warehouse. One Port commissioner had the job of furnishing the coal oil for the night light on the dock. The state highway was completed in 1924, making vehicle travel possible to and from Eglon. By the early 1940s, the dock was no longer used for its original purposes and fell into disuse. The Port evolved into the boat launch, beach, and park. Port officials and residents have ﬁercely defended their independence since 1960, fending off efforts to consolidate Eglon and other small port districts in Kitsap County. Port of Eglon Commissioner George Coles was quoted at one time saying that residents didn’t want a dock or industry. “Leave us alone,” he said. “We don't want to be infringed upon. We want to keep our little bit of beach and use it for the children to swim." And now, in its 101st year, that’s exactly what the Port of Eglon is today.

no one immune to the disruptions caused by this pandemic, I thought it would be interesting to host a virtual fireside chat with our friends in the marine industry to hear about how they’re dealing with the new normal. I caught up with a few people to listen to their stories and share them here with you.

COVID-19 has turned our world upside down. When you’re an Alaskan fisherman dealing with the quarantine issues during king crab season (mid-April) and salmon tendering (June-September), the logistics become much more challenging. If you’ve watched the Deadliest Catch, you know that we put four to five people on the Northwestern. It’s a family affair for us as my daughter Mandy and her husband Clark are part of the crew, as is my brother Norman. But getting everything in order during a quarantine has definitely put a halt in our plans for this season. Many who have followed my career fishing in the roughest seas out there may think that I’m the most courageous person they know. But COVID has me terrified to leave my house in North Seattle! Due to some health issues involving my heart, I’m considered high risk to catching this thing, and I’m terrified that I’m going to catch this thing. If there is one thing that COVID has done, it has made me think about my own mortality.

Probably the hardest part for me personally is that my new granddaughter was born on March 17 and I have a grandson who is just three. Due to COVID, I haven’t been able to see and hold them. Sure, we talk on the phone and all that, but it isn’t the same. The silver lining for me is the time I’m spending sequestered with my wife, June. She is absolutely amazing and I have an entirely new appreciation for her and my marriage. I really have shed a tear for those people who live alone or have no one. June and I both have family from a small town in Norway named Karmoy, and it’s where we learned early on that family and community are important. After COVID is over, we want to get back there and visit our friends and family in the old country, and I have two new business opportunities I’m exploring in Norway. One is a dry bait for crabbing and the other is a device we’ve designed to retrieve missing pots and fishing gear.

Victoria is normally a tranquil city, but during this crisis, the downtown area has been especially peaceful. This is my neighborhood during the height of the pandemic.

I started out this year committed to 14 events as Principal Race Officer, including two world championships, and four of the largest multi-class keelboat regattas in North America, including Point Roberts Race Week. It was shaping up to be a busier year than usual. As of now, I have only one event left, and I expect this event to also be cancelled by the time this article is published. Much effort goes into the staging of these events and, not unexpectedly, organizers are loathe to cancel unless the reasons are compelling. We now know that the COVID-19 pandemic is certainly a compelling reason, both from the directives issued by governments and health organizations (that are out of our control), as well as simple common sense. But it was not that compelling in the early stages and there were widely held views of what this whole thing meant. Event organization meetings became wrestling matches between those that favored a more liberal approach and those who were cautious. Clearly, the more significant events fell first due to travel restrictions and, as time wore on, the smaller events had to be cancelled due to restricted gathering size and the resulting social distancing regulations. In dealing with so many events, I definitely stood on the cautious side. The reality is that sailing regattas, while they provide great fun and competition, are entertainment, pleasant diversions. The question became, “Is it more important to go have some fun or to protect lives?” My wife and I are retired, and we live on our Beneteau 49 on the docks in front of the Empress Hotel in downtown Victoria. It’s a pretty nice place to self-isolate, I must say. Of my two children and their spouses, three of the four have been able to

Like every business, operations at CSR Marine have changed as we learn to adjust to this new (but temporary) normal. Our primary concern remains the health and safety of our employees and customers. Because of this, we are running less employees per shift, and have temporarily closed our office. Like all essential and nonessential businesses, we have also had to make some pretty significant changes to our operations, and continue to evolve our operations as more guidance becomes available. Obviously, we have hand sanitizer everywhere, and are wiping down surfaces frequently, but that's just one part of the COVID-19 response. We have closed the office and had some people working from home. Currently, we're taking turns by having just one person a day in the office to answer phones, take payments, and help customers. We've also temporarily closed the yard to customers and outside vendors, again to ensure social distancing, and have better control over the people coming and going. These temporary changes have allowed us to stay open and keep working albeit in a scaled back form. The pandemic has also forced us to make some changes that we had planned to make in

continue working full time, one being a health care worker. All of us have remained healthy. British Columbia has been very diligent in advising and addressing the needs of its people during this time. We had one significant advantage in that our school spring break was two weeks later than most other jurisdictions. That small amount of extra time allowed us to become more wary and proactively reduce travel, thus better preparing us for what was coming. Despite being so lucky, I am no less cognizant of the challenges facing those less fortunate in this. There are some that I know who have suffered, but we have lost no one close to us, including my 98-year-old mother! A winner in the COVID pandemic is the environment, no question. I was stunned by the before and after satellite images of China showing how clear the sky was over this normally heavily polluted country. The world has had a great opportunity to breathe cleanly for a change and I am very optimistic about the ability of the earth to recover from generations of neglect. I can only hope that governments have taken note and will change for the future. I’ve learned some things about myself too. Like I’ve never washed my hands so often in my life! I think I’m going through as much moisturizing cream as I am soap. I’ve also learned that I’m able to self-isolate without going completely crazy. Living on a boat means my physical sphere is quite small, but I have been able to adapt. We learn quickly about the things we take for granted. When this is all over, I’m most looking forward to being able to hug my kids and go to the bar for a couple of pints after a great day of racing on the water.

the future; just not right now. We've gone to an online calendar for our haul and block schedule. We're communicating a lot more via text and email. Fortunately, we have a team that really helps each other out, and we've been able to make these and other changes surprisingly efficiently. The hardest part of dealing with COVID-19 for me personally has been trying to balance work, and home schooling two kids. I lose sleep worrying that I am not doing enough for my kids and their educational growth, and I have a master’s in education! It's not easy, and I know so many other people that are struggling with this. Hopefully, we all have positives that outweigh the negatives in all this, or that can at least tip the scale a little. My yard looks great, and I've been spending a bunch more time with my kids. Seems trivial in the greater scheme, but we still have our health and our sanity for the most part. As Aristotle said, man is by nature a social animal. And so when this is all over, I'm probably looking most forward to socializing with people again. Just being able to get together in a group and laugh, cry, and hug, and just have some cathartic release.

I live in Southern California in the small town of Laguna Beach. I have now been home for over a month solid and have been able to enjoy the sunsets and a glass of wine on my patio each evening. To see things so peaceful and quiet each night is an amazing blessing.

Our business certainly slowed immediately following the state government shutdowns as people tried to wrap their minds around what all of this meant and how to navigate what was next. Shortly after the initial concerns were reconciled, we began seeing more and more leads coming in through our websites and conversations resumed again about summer plans. We had little to no fall out from transactions that were in process and those people are out now enjoying their yachts. Overall we have been very fortunate as our industry provides the best lifestyle opportunity that endures with a world crisis such as this. The owners can isolate themselves with their families and enjoy time on the water on their terms, without travel, and feel safe and secure in their environment. As with any business, the initial adjustments started with protecting our capital, analyzing expenses, fast thinking, and making the best decisions for our employees. Alexander Marine USA has been through many economic cycles, and we are well prepared to handle them and come out stronger. The biggest adjustment has been our team working from home and not engaging with one another. We are a family outside of our immediate family, and when you remove that interaction, it just does not feel the same. The pandemic has been the most difficult on my kids. I have two kids who attend college and

they have both been sent home to finish online. My youngest is a junior in high school, and the same is true for him. At this age, their world is very social, active, and they have a life away from home that has totally been disrupted. My wife and I are thrilled to have our family together, as we certainly could not have imagined a circumstance where we would get this time again. So it has been really nice for us! From a global perspective, it has also been nice to see our world get a reprieve from pollution. Reading the stories about clean air, water, and thriving wildlife really brings about an awareness of our responsibility in being stewards to our earth. This period of time has served as a reminder of what is really important in life. We all have had a moment to reflect on what really matters to each of us individually, and while it is different from person to person, this pandemic gave us all a moment to appreciate what we have. And perhaps some things that we might reassess to live a fuller life. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also looking forward to getting out again and back to a more normal work schedule. I love to work, and I love this organization. We have sales operations in California and Washington, service operations in Florida and Washington, and factories in Taiwan and Florida that I want to visit and help get back to work Continued on Page 64 and thriving again.

I decided to try beekeeping last year but lost a hive over the winter. So, I got a new colony of bees, and since I have to be home, I’ve been able to watch them every day, which has been an amazing experience. That is why this is my favorite quarantine picture.

Due to a directive at the University of Washington, the entire Washington Sea Grant staff is working from home due to COVID-19. My office was previously located inside the Northwest Maritime Center in Port Townsend and is now set up in a yurt on my property. The hardest part of all of this as a field agent is not being able to visit my many constituents in the ports and marinas across the state. My family is actually doing pretty well. Slowing down our pace has been a positive and needed change and I’ve learned that I can be more creative. What I’m most looking forward to post-COVID is getting back out and camping!

RACING SHEET

Looking Back While Moving Forward Words: Doug Hansen // Photos: Jan Anderson & Sean Trew There is no escaping the reality that the world shutting down put a serious hamper on global sailing. International regattas worldwide have been postponed or canceled, boats in foreign countries were held in quarantine and unable to return to their home ports, and pretty much all gatherings and global recreation came to a screeching halt. This uniquely affected sailing as it is quintessentially a sport of travel and adventure. Looking to the earliest days when humans began venturing to the ocean, crossing great distances and interacting with new people is at the core of boating. While we still have a long way to go and “normal” may be a constantly evolving concept, things around the world are at least beginning to settle into a more predictable

rhythm. Even those at the upper reaches of the sport in the TP52 Super Series are finally headed back to Europe after several tense weeks of lockdown after the boats were loaded onto a ship in Cape Town. Meanwhile boatyards and sail makers are slowly beginning to spin up production around the worl d, w h i l e m a i n t a i n i n g their distancing protocols. The flow of the racing world seems to be establishing itself into a new rhythm. With the world seemingly on pause for a few months, it has been a great chance to look back at years gone by and remember why this sport speaks so loudly to so many people. Local photographic superman Sean Trew has been putting out some rather choice photos of a few legendary mishaps from years past. Fun to see

some familiar faces that have a few less miles on them than they do today. Notable shots include several extraordinary wipeouts of Moore24s, a few upside-down catamarans, and a decent collection of shredded spinnakers to round out the gallery. Also, one of the biggest supporters of local racing, Jan Anderson, has her galleries of races dating back to 2011. It is as comprehensive a time capsule as can be found for sailing in the Pacific Northwest over the past decade, and a definite way to spark both some serious nostalgia and excitement for the future. Wit h ou t a doubt , what we are seeing worldwide is people spending serious time and energy getting their boats sorted out. My Instagram feed has been awash with perfectly rigged dinghies and spotlessly

prepared keel boats all getting some well-deserved attention and upgrades. Personally, much of my world has been taken over by the lofty project of building and installing a new mast in the TP52 Smoke. Having broken the previous one during Seattle Yacht Clubs Grand Prix regatta last fall, we have sourced a replacement tube and set about building new hardware and rigging to fit the boat. With every part on the project being a custom-built piece of unobtanium, it is a bit more involved than ordering parts from a catalog and putting it together in a weekend. Keeping everything organized and regular communication with the groups designing and building the parts has been critical. We h a v e b e e n w o r k i n g closely with engineering and manufacturing groups in Spain, New Zealand, and Rhode Island as well as sail makers, electronics manufacturers, and rigging experts to get every piece of this puzzle sorted out. This connection with the “outside world” has really been instrumental in my own understanding of the real effects of this pandemic. The teamwork and flexibility e x h i b i t e d b y e ve r y o n e i n this group has been critical to keeping things moving

While a far cry from the real thing, many of us have been keeping busy and connected with sailing friends via some E-sailing in the Virtual Regatta game, and I am currently getting beat up on by our spinnaker trimmer on the race to St Barth’s, not good when you’re the navigator. Hopefully next week’s race from South Africa to Goa leaves me in a bit better shape and I can keep my spot on the boat.

Navigating Through COVID-19 We will get through this together! By Deane Hislop

We are all navigating uncharted waters during the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus is only 20 weeks old, so there is still a lot we don’t know about it. Therefore, the course forward needs to be plotted with caution. While we’re paying so much attention to the coronavirus, we also must remember the basics about staying healthy. This is a stressful and uncertain situation for everyone – our daily lives have been disrupted. Getting outside and changing our environment are great ways to reduce some of that stress. Natural sunlight exposes your body to vitamin D, which is essential for a well-functioning immune system. Being in nature reduces anxiety. Finally, the outdoors provides aromatherapy that boosts your immune system. Scientists have determined that breathing in phytoncide airborne chemicals produced by plants increases our levels of white blood cells, which help fight oﬀ infections and diseases. At the time of this writing, there are some boating and fishing restrictions in place and we are all going to have to live with this virus for a while longer. Recent Washington state COVID-19 metrics have been encouraging and Washington residents are beginning to see an easing of some of the restrictions announced in the Governor Jay Inslee’s Stay Home – Stay Healthy Proclamation on March 23, 2020. State oﬃcials have established a four-phased approach to reopen businesses and modify physical distancing measures. Washington state has begun to loosen its hold

68 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2020

on the Stay Home – Stay Healthy lockdown, with the reopening of some state parks and DNR lands for day use only, along with allowing some recreational fishing. British Columbia has closed its provincial parks and there is no indication when they will be reopening. The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) has requested boaters stay oﬀ the water unless it is needed. With each response, the CCG says their specialists are putting themselves at risk of exposure to COVID-19 and using up the supplies of personal protective equipment that is desperately needed by critical health care workers. Boaters have also been asked to respect community requests in Washington and British Columbia to stay away, decreasing their exposure to the virus and not taxing local communities limited health care facilities. As marine facilities begin to reopen with limitations, we boaters need to protect ourselves and others by following federal, state, and community guidelines for social distancing and use good hygiene habits to stop the spread of COVID-19 as we successfully work our way through the four phases of recovery. Many boaters are wondering if boating is considered a safe social distancing practice. The quick answer is yes, but the long answer is a bit more involved. The following are tips on how to enjoy being on the waters of the Northwest without violating the spirit of the Governor’s Stay at Home – Stay Safe order. We all need to follow a few additional safety

guidelines so everyone heading out onto the water can do so safely. Now more than ever, we need to make sure we’re considering how our actions aﬀect those around us. Here is a quick rundown on the do’s and don’ts of boating in a time of pandemic: • If you have symptoms of fever, coughing, sore throat, or shortness of breath, stay home and seek medical attention. Do not go boating if you have been exposed to COVID-19 in the past fourteen days. • Wear a manufactured or homemade cloth face covering when you leave your home and travel to the boat. The use of a face covering may help protect others from your respiratory droplets, but is not a replacement for social distancing. • Only boat with those in your immediate household. • Do not invite guests aboard your boat. This includes family members not in your immediate household and your favorite fishing and boating buddies. • Go directly from your house to the boat and back, avoid all unnecessary contact with anyone during your trip. • Ensure that you have everything you will need for the time you are out on the water. Don’t make provisioning stops along the way or while out on the water. • Maintain a safe distance (6 feet) from others when doing things like loading up at the marina or fueling the boat. • After doing anything that requires touching an item someone else may have touched, like a marina gate, dock cart, or fuel pump,

Left: A DeFever 50 practicing social distancing - anchored in secluded cove with tender rafted along side. Boating can be as socially distant as humans can get, but if you are going to boat, it's a good idea to take precautions in the areas where you might encounter others - marinas, pump-out stations, and marine parks.

disinfect by washing your hands or using a hand sanitizer as soon as possible. • For high-use surfaces such as gas pump handles or the handrails at a boat ramp consider wearing disposable gloves, latex or nitrile works best. • Be prepared to self-rescue. Before leaving the dock ensure your vessel is well serviced and maintained. We don’t want to place additional burdens on first responders and emergency services who assist boaters that find themselves in trouble. Our first responders and search and rescue teams are all facing COVID-19 challenges along with us. • Planning ahead also means staying up to date with closures and general news about your intended destination marina, town, and region. Contact local communities to assure they are accepting non-resident guests. • Be sure you can pay online, by phone, or with a debit or credit card (no cash). Don’t show up anywhere without first having contacted the relevant personnel to determine what services are and are not available. • Be self-reliant and practice good personal hygiene; have onboard soap, water, hand

sanitizer, toilet paper, and disposable gloves, as well as a mask or bandana for everyone to cover their nose and mouth. • Social distancing does not include tossing a line to a dockhand waiting to assist you upon your arrival. • After using a pay station or self-registration station, use hand sanitizer. • Avoid crowds and practice social distancing. Be prepared to go somewhere else or return another time if your destination looks crowded. • No beaching or rafting to other boats. Keep your boat and the people in it at least six feet away from other boats and individuals. • Do not use a beach, park, boat ramp, or marina that is closed. • Do not use playgrounds, picnic tables, barbeques, or benches. Assume such equipment has not been sanitized. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer if you do come in contact with shared amenities. • Do not participate in organized activities or sports. • Respect signs limiting access or providing temporary direction regarding trail or site usage. • Wear gloves when using pump-out station and wash hands afterwards.

• Giving your boat a post-cruise rinse, or even better a good washing with soap and brush, and whip down the inside with disinfectant is a good practice. • Anytime you leave the boat, sanitize your hands before coming back aboard, or get on without touching anything and wash them immediately. Recreational boaters should continue to think ahead about the actions they can take to protect themselves, fellow boaters, and prevent the spread of COVID-19. As there is still no cure for this virus, we must take repeated precautionary measures to continue enjoying the lifestyle we treasure. We are all in this together, and we can get through the challenges of COVID-19 if we work together. Deane and Arlene Hislop call Anacortes home. They cruise year-round between Olympia, Washington and northern Vancouver Island, spending more than 100 nights a year aboard M/V Easy Goin’. They enjoy meeting other boaters, exploring new locations, sampling local cuisine, and collecting information, experiences, and images. Deane is a freelancer whose work has appeared in regional, national and international publications.
