FROM THE HELM

No June-uary, Please

We have two kinds June here in the Pacific Northwest: June, full of sunny days and clear skies, and June-uary, a gray rainy leftover from spring. Boaters of all stripes feel the difference as we eye the weather, anxious for a proper Norris Comer summer on the water. Sailboat racers yearn to leave the foulies at the dock and cruisers hope for fair passages as they scheme northward trips and top off the tanks. It is in the optimistic spirit of June, not June-uary, that we offer this adventure-packed issue.

Our own Alex Kwanten profiles the iconic, yacht-servicing floatplane company Kenmore Air in the feature Getting There is Half the Fun for those ready to take to the skies. Cruiser, author, and regular contributor Elsie Hulsizer tells of the beautiful and tide-ravaged Nakwakto Rapids of B.C. and offers tips for the adventurous through the lens of her experience in Beyond Nakwakto Rapids. Captain Chris Couch also has a story to share, an anecdote about a local delivery from his insightful perspective of a seasoned mariner in The Trip. Take notes! Marine biologist Brianna King rounds out the features with an article, Visitors of Summer, about the many fascinating marine animal species that visit the Pacific Northwest this time of year, from gray whales to albacore tuna.

Keep an eye out for these special (and

PUBLISHER Michelle Zeasman-Gibbon michelle@nwyachting.com

sometimes tasty) guests profiled when you’re on the water.

We checked out boat-friendly Langley on Whidbey Island in Washington for our Ports of Call to find mountain views and free-ranging domestic bunnies. How’s that for small town Puget Sound charm? 'Tis the season of surveying new boats, and we picked professional yacht surveyor Erik Bentzen’s brain for Ask the Experts. Our columnists hit their strides: Doug Hansen dives into the many summer races in Racing Sheet, Kevin Klein exalts the summer fishing opportunities in Kevin’s Catch, and Bridget Charters champions baking pies aboard with the bountiful Pacific Northwest summer produce in Galley Gourmet. Peter Schrappen takes a close look at how to champion boating legislation in his On Watch column for those interested in detangling our seemingly opaque political process.

Don’t forget to peruse Nautical News and Business Notes for topical content from the many Pacific Northwest boat rendezvous to the inspirational charitable works of the Tacoma Community Boat Builders. Goods and Gear and Hotwire also have plenty of great goodies for every kind of boater and window shopper.

Regardless of whether we’ve got a June or June-uary on our hands, I look forward to hoisting the sails of my Albin Vega and seeing you out on the water. We live in paradise, even when the clouds are in the way of the view.

Rendezvous Roundup

Above and Below: Scenes from Last year's Ocean Alexander Rendezvous in Roche Harbor

As Summer Arrives, so do Many Boat Owner Gatherings

By Norris Comer

The beginning of the Pacific Northwest summer means more than just sunshine for boaters. Rendezvous season is upon us! For the uninitiated, the rendezvous is a unique boating phenomenon prevalent in the area, especially in Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands. The reductionist definition of a boat rendezvous is simply a gathering of boats, but these gatherings come in many different flavors. Some are by exclusive invitation only, often organized by yacht brokerages specifically for their clients or by a manufacturer for their loyal ownership base. Others are more informal, like the Desolation Sound Dinghy Concert. This event invites anybody

with a dinghy to tie up, kick back, and enjoy the music talents of the one and only Robin Landry and band.

Getting to the rendezvous is usually just the beginning, and event organizers typically offer a packed itinerary full of fun events, insightful demos, and good food.

There are so many different rendezvous in the Pacific Northwest during the summer that we’ll probably publish a proper annual guide next year.

However, for now, we offer some of the calendar-worthy rendezvous coming up for reference. Perhaps we’ll see you at a few of these this summer? If you’re

hosting a rendezvous and would like us to write about it, don’t hesitate to send us information at editorial@nwyachting.com.

Aspen Adventure Begins

By Norris Comer

Left to right: Captain Blake Eder, Steve, Larry, and Nick Graf, and boat owners David and Sue Ellen Jenkins.

It was a calm, overcast day in Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes, Washington, as Larry Graf, founder and designer of Aspen Power Catamarans, wished David and Sue Ellen Jenkins and company fair winds and

following seas on May 8 in front of a supportive crowd of friends, Aspen employees, family, and well-wishers. The Jenkins, owners of the Aspen C120 Knot Wafflen’, then soon began an epic 10,000-mile trip aboard their new build. The journey will take the couple and invited guests from Anacortes through British Columbia to Alaska for the summer. Knot Wafflen’ will then turn south for the Pacific cruising grounds of Mexico before trailering overland to the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. The last leg of the journey up the East Coast will bring Knot Wafflen’ to its debut at the Annapolis Boat Show, a dramatic testimony for the Pacific Northwest power multihull design that’s already gaining traction. But what’s with the name?

“I was the CEO and owner of a company called Golden Malted, which was the largest waffle company in the US,” explains David Jenkins aboard his boat at the dock before takeoff.

He sold the company about five years ago and calls himself a serial entrepreneur. His wife, Sue Ellen Jenkins, is a nurse and caregiver. “Obviously, I’m not waffling anymore,” David Jenkins laughs. The name also is a nod to the Aspen multihull design, which touts its easy tracking as a prominent performance plus.

“The Aspen design is incredible, everything you read about, it does,” says Jenkins’ brother-inlaw, Captain Blake Eder. Captain Continued on Page 18

NOMAR BUMPERS ®

Nomar® Bumpers are a softmounted bumper which absorbs impact and allows you to slide in and out of your slip with NO FRICTION, DRAG OR MARRING of your hull. This makes for a safer & less stressful docking experience by allowing everyone to stay on board. Nomar® Bumpers eliminate the need for fenders & are perfect for tight docking situations and narrow slips. They also allow the vessel closer to the dock for easier and safer boarding.

SAME SHIP, DIFFERENT NAME. Rich Haynie Insurance has been a trusted provider to yacht owners for over 25 years. Our name has changed but not the superior service and quality coverage you’ve come to expect.

Formerly:

www.bristolmarineinsurance.com 1-206-634-1770 20 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2017

If you’re looking for a gift for the fisherman/woman in your life, the newly published The Little Alaskan Salmon Cookbook and The Little Alaskan Halibut Cookbook, by commercial salmon fisherwoman Ladonna Gundersen, may be worth checking out. The cookbooks are a collaboration between Gundersen and her husband Ole, whose marine photography can be found interspersed between recipes and colorful photos of the dishes. The Gundersens, based out of Ketchikan, Alaska, created the cookbooks as a tribute to the wonderful and wild cuisine Alaskan fishing provides.

One design component that makes these books ideally suited for a galley is their compact size; each book measures about five by eight inches, with a width of a quarter inch, compact enough to be stowed easily in even the smallest of bookshelves, or to be slipped into an apron pocket. This reader’s one critique of the design would be that the books do not fall to hand very easily, so if you find yourself returning to the recipes over and over you might consider getting the pages spiral bound.

The salmon cookbook has 33 recipes, and the halibut one contains 36. Each book’s recipes include everything from appetizers (called ‘nibbles’) to desserts—the latter of which thankfully do not include any fish! The recipes are intended to be fairly easy to assemble so even a beginner chef can feel confident enough to prepare them.

You can learn more about Ladonna Gundersen at ladonnarose. com, or follow her on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. Both cookbooks are currently available for $9.95 on Amazon.

Community: 2017 Tacoma Festival of Sail to a museum, brewery, or other attraction? Take a look at the available pre-sale ticket options and find significant savings on your perfect outing, or the entire weekend. Pre-event ticket purchase gets you automatic updates on parking and shuttle deployment, as the area is expected to be crowded and parking is limited.

Plus, you can avoid those long ticket lines at the event! Visitors please note: on Thursday, there are no onboard tours, and the Parade of Sail starting time of 1400 is subject to wind conditions and the individual speeds of the tall ships. Relax and have your camera ready for a spectacular exhibition on the water!

Non-commercial photography and videography are allowed, and commercial filming can be arranged by permission.

Want to add to the fun? Costumes are allowed, as long as they are (“Arrrr!”) not offensive, disruptive or unsuitable and don’t feature real or pretend weapons.

Backpacks are not allowed and

all bags must be inspected. The festival organizers won’t allow outside coolers, cans, bottles, or beverages except for bona fide medical/health/infant needs. To tour the ships, wear rubber sole shoes, sneakers or boat shoes; spike heels are not permitted. The ships are accessed by gangplank and cannot accommodate wheelchairs. No pets allowed, except for service dogs. No ticket is required for visitors age four and under, but tickets are required for ship tours.

Close to the event date, look at SailTraining.org’s Fleet Tracker to monitor the arrival of the tall ships that have tracking enabled.

Event volunteers are still needed,; check the festival website to register for fun assignments such as queue manager and ship’s liaison for individual vessels.

The outlook for a kid on the wrong side of the law can often be bleak, and the tragedy is that many disadvantaged or adjudicated youth just need mentorship, a safe place, and a way forward with their lives. Fortunately, Tacoma Community Boat Builders (TCBB), with their motto “Building Strong Boats, Sailing Rough Waters,” is here for them. These at-risk youths are taught valuable trade skills to build boats that they ultimately take onto the water and learn to operate.

“This is a program of youth development and enrichment,” says Chuck Graydon, Program Facilitator of TCBB. “The vehicle with which we do that is a mentorship program where we have adult craftsmen who have been in the industry or business of building boats or manufacturing.” The volunteer mentors offer one-on-one attention to every kid involved in the program at the fully equipped woodshop located on the Thea Foss Waterway in Tacoma. “On a typical day we’ll have anywhere between eight and 12 kids, and we usually have enough mentors to cover them,” says Graydon. “The one-to-one ratio is critical to our success.

I’ve taught in our state vocational system and had 25-30 students before. It’s just not an effective form of conveying information.”

The kids work on a variety of their own projects in addition to building boats, including building their own toolboxes and birdhouses. Of course, the highlight of the program for many is taking

“In my mind, the program serves a dual purpose. The primary one is to give the kids an environment where they can experience success and attain a level of technical literacy they wouldn’t be exposed to otherwise,” says Graydon. TCBB is the perfect first step for someone with no craftsman skills who could enter the trades profession someday. “It’s like an incubator program for a higher-level skills training program. We’re getting them to a point where they would be acceptable for a full-fledge training program where they could make a career in the maritime or manufacturing trades.”

The second purpose is to provide the participants and alums of the program a safe place. Although the courts only mandate a ten-week sentence for the youths in the program, many stay on for a year or more as volunteers helping around the shop because

it’s simply a safe, enjoyable space. Others go onto technical school where they truly become self-sufficient, law-abiding adults.

Damien, a notable alum of the program, is one such example. He is currently enrolled at Bates Technical College as a diesel mechanic, where he is completing his last two years of high school credits plus getting a two-year AA degree. This is all very impressive, especially considering the growing TCBB is only in its third year of operation. TCBB is entirely funded by private donations, with some notable large organizations like the Milgard Foundation, Genie Foundation, and Key Bank pitching in.

“We’re going to run a pilot program this next month for higher risk kids from the courts. Right now we have mostly diversion cases, where they haven’t broken the law, but they’ve drawn attention from the law,” says Graydon. “Now we’re going to start

getting high-risk kids who’ve actually seen some hardcore action in jail or gangs. We’ll see how it goes.”

Graydon gives us a tour of the shop where we are greeted with warm lights and the sweet smell of cut lumber. Wood boats in various states of completion sit on stands or rest against the wall. Promise, the first boat made by the organization, is displayed prominently. Strong boats for rough seas, indeed.

If you’re curious and want more info, check out tacomaboatbuilders.org. The at-risk youth of Pierce County and the inspiring people of the TCBB can use all the help they can get.

For those of us who’ve frequented a cocktail bar recently or enjoy the concoctions of a mixologist friend, different “mules” (often served in their iconic copper mugs) have taken hold as NORDHAVN 52 | CAP TERNAY | 2014 a libation mainstay. The trend appears to have started with Asking: AUD $1,750,000 | Location: Scarborough, Queensland, AUS Peter Devers +61.419 760 258 (AUS) or Eric Leishman 949.496.4848 (US) the reemergence and slight reinvention of the Moscow Mule, a popular cocktail in the 1940s through 1960s. Now Mexican Mules, Kentucky Mules, and more are emerging, seemingly everyday.

But what is a mule, exactly? A mule is simply the vintage name of a family of historic mixed drinks that involve ginger ale or ginger beer, citrus juice, and a base liquor of choice. Did you NORDHAVN 5276 | 2016 know that, allegedly, the Missouri Mule was created in honor of Call for pricing | Location: Dana Point, CA James Leishman 949.496.4848 President Harry S. Truman? Mule was wordplay for the Democrat Party donkey mascot. Also traditionally known as a buck, these simple, light, refreshing drinks have June written all over them.

Tweak this base recipe with your favorites and, who knows, maybe you’ll create the honorary drink of the current administration.

• 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice • 2 ounces of liquor (vodka = Moscow Mule, tequila = Mexican Mule, bourbon = Kentucky Mule, etc.)

• 4 to 6 ounces of ginger beer • Ice • Optional lime wedge garnish (various mules also call for orange slices, lavender, jalapeño slices, and more. Get creative!)

handle badly contaminated tank water. The product is valued at about $200, but it can be yours for free!

This revenue reportedly generated $5.6 billion in gross domestic product and supported nearly 75,000 jobs.

The study, The Economic Impact of Recreational Boating in

Canada: 2016, was conducted by the Hickling Arthurs Low on behalf of NMMA Canada in cooperation with Discover Boating Canada (an industry marketing program and regional marine trade association).

It's Not Easy Being Green (A Green Crab, That is...)

By Lara Roché-Sudar

A press release from the Washington Sea Grant (WSG) last week announced another detected population of European green crabs, an infamous invasive species, near Sequim, Washington. Fortunately, the WSG Crab Team was on the spot to stymie the spread of this species before it gets out of hand. The Crab Team is an early detection and monitoring program put in place to impede and hopefully stop the spread of the invasive European green crab before it can infiltrate our Pacific Northwest ecosystem.

What’s wrong with the green crab? According to the WSG press release, the green crab has been implicated in devastating sea grass beds and decreasing shellfish harvests

in places where populations have become established, such as Australia, South Africa, and the East Coast of the United States. An invasive species is one that competes with a native species for food and resources, and while some species (like humans) are presumably evolved enough to adapt to such changes in their environments, introducing change to the delicate balance of a marine ecosystem can be deadly. The WSG Crab Team is on a mission to detect and address the threat of the European green crab before it can populate local waters and potentially damage local marine life and shorelines.

European green crabs have been found in two other known locations in Washington’s

inland waters; however with a tally of 13 total captured, the population at Dungeness Spit is currently the most abundant. The crabs were first discovered on San Juan Island in August 2016, then at the Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve near Anacortes.

According to Crab Team Program Coordinator Emily Grason, the population at Dungeness Spit has more potential for growth, as multiple crabs have been found at the same site over subsequent days. This differs from the other locations, where the crabs were discovered too far from each other to meet and mate.

What can you do to help? If you’re a frequent beachcomber but don’t want to commit to anything serious, just keep an eye out at the beach. If you find a green crab, take a few pictures from various angles and report the sighting to the Crab Team. Don’t touch or move the crab, as this is illegal in Washington unless you obtain a special permit to do so. For those who want a little more involvement, you can sign up to volunteer with the Crab Team on their website, wsg.washington.edu.

Prestige 750 The all-new 2017 Prestige 750 is a luxury motoryacht new to Pacific Northwest waters. This 75-foot, eye-catching vessel has it all, starting from the exterior. A double set of stairs lead forward from the hydraulic swim platform off the stern to a covered cockpit with table seating and entertaining space. It’s easy to imagine the swim platform as a tender launch point as well as the always popular “teak beach.”

From the cockpit, guests can either walk forward to the cushioned lounge space on the foredeck or ascend a flight of stairs to the flybridge, where more seated entertaining space and a helm are located under a giant retractable hardtop. The aft portion of the flybridge accommodates a hydraulic davit to hoist a tender aboard.

The deck layout is symmetrical, with wide sidedecks for easy forward access.

Forward, bench-style bow seating offers guests ample space to take in the scenery while underway.

The interior is palatial with five separate staterooms (if you include the optional crew cabin aft) and four enclosed heads that add up to accommodations for ten. The master and VIP staterooms are especially luxurious and rival the bedrooms of most houses with a walkaround bed. The Prestige 750 also has a fully equipped galley, a spacious salon, and nav station/helm with a comprehensive navigation electronics package. The Prestige 750 has a formal dining area for both guests and clients. Interestingly, the galley, dining area and salon are virtually on the same level. The master stateroom is also only a few steps below forward, creating a “one level” experience. Generous sleek windows run in

the hull to let in natural light for those who are down below.

The Prestige 750 is powered with two MAN 1200-horsepower diesel engines that push her along at a sporting 24-knot cruising speed. Access to the engine room is through the watertight transom door or through a seperate hatch in the cockpit of the deck. Engine access is good, with plenty of room to breathe and reach various vessel systems.

This motoryacht looks to be a fi ne luxury option for both private parties or those seeking a high-end charter vessel.

If the Prestige 750 has got your attention, you should contact the local dealer, Sundance Yacht Sales, for more information (sundanceyachts.com). The 2017 Prestige 750 is listed at $4,499,000 at the time of this writing.

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 479 June sunshine means hoisted sails and good times in the Pacific Northwest! The 2017 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 479 is a modern, Euro-style performance cruiser in the style of its fellow Jeanneau sailboats, with emphasis on comfort and speed.

The spacious deck space, cockpit, and swim step of the 479 is catered for both crew and guests. A large foldable table in the middle of the cockpit is a natural gathering space for dinner al fresco, and it’s easy to imagine kayaks and paddleboards being launched off the swim step aft.

One nice aspect of a Jeanneau

sailboat is the option for customization, and a dual-helm cockpit layout will be a popular choice for performance-minded skippers.

Under the waterline, both a bulb fixed keel and shoal draft versions are offered. The 479 comes with a standard Yanmar inboard diesel engine with various horsepowers to choose from.

The interior has all the comforts of a proper cruiser, including a fully equipped L-shaped galley, navigation table, and a dining table with family-style wraparound seating. There are three fundamental layouts to a 479’s interior: three cabins with two

heads, three cabins with three heads, and four cabins with four heads. Many characteristics of the interior are reminiscent of the 479’s big sister, the 519.

Summer sailing beckons. If interested in the 2017 Jeanneau

Sun Odyssey 479, contact the local dealer Marine Servicenter. Visit marinesc.com for more information. The brokerage has one model at their dock listed at $409,838 at the time of this writing.

Cantius 45 The 2017 Cantius 45 from Cruisers Yachts now plies Northwest waters. This sporty, mid-sized luxury yacht is certainly a piece of eye candy from the outside with its sleek, modern design and inside with its spacious entertaining spaces. The forward deck space on the bow has generous cushioned space for sunny day lounging, while the cockpit aft has ample seating and access to a large swim step.

A translucent retractable cockpit cover is a nice feature that shields guests from the rain when needed and easily stows when not needed.

The interior is almost completely enclosed by glass for an expansive, light-filled feel.

The entrance to the salon is granted via a large glass door. Once you pass through

the entrance, the galley is laid to port with seating to starboard. Forward, the helm and dinette table with wraparound seating flank the entrance to the berths below. A retractable sunroof is a sporty touch. The master stateroom has an island-style bed for

a luxury sleep. The Cantius 45 is powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS engines.

Moody DS 54 roller-furling, self-tacking jib and large overlapping genoa, which translates to an easier time for singlehanders. There’s also lounge space on the foredeck.

Another notable feature of the Moody DS 54 is the single-level layout. There really isn’t a traditional companionway; doors simply lead into the cabin, no steps required. Like the rest of the vessel, the cruising lifestyle

The Moody DS 54 has recently arrived at the docks of local dealer JK3 Nautical Enterprises, and looks to be a cruiser built with long passages in mind. It’s worth noting that Moody yachts are built at the Hanse production facility in Greifswald, Germany, by the same German company that also builds the Dehler line. Clever engineering is to be expected.

Some notable characteristics start on the exterior. The beamy transom folds open into a swim step and stowage space/garage. It’s easy to imagine the applications at anchor in some corner of the San Juans. The dual helm/nav station layout of the deck gives this cruiser some of the appeal of a performance yacht, and the spacious seating around a table in the cockpit sits under a retractable cover.

SeaLife Micro 2.0 || $500.00+ Summer is here, and we’re all going to be reaching for our smartphones to take pictures and videos of the memories on the water. But do you really want to risk that iPhone 7+ falling into Davy Jones’ locker? The SeaLife micro 2.0 underwater camera is permanently sealed (meaning no waterproof doors or o-rings) and capable of shooting 1080p HD video at 60 or 30 frames per second. The micro 2.0 is equipped with a 130-degree fisheye lens for up close pictures and a 16-megapixel Sony CMOS image sensor. Switching between video and picture modes is easy with the large “piano key” controls.

The camera comes in a few models with varying amounts of onboard memory (including a 64-gigabyte version), internal battery, and built-in Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi allows wireless sharing of video and pictures instantly with compatible devices, like the smartphone you wisely left aboard. The micro 2.0 goes down to 200 feet depth according to the manufacturer. SeaLife’s plethora of accessories, including the Sea Dragon light and Flex-Connect trays, grips, arms, and more are available to really trick out your micro 2.0. Check out sealife-cameras. com if interested, priced at $500.

The mirco 2.0 comes in both 32 GB and 64 GB models.

Boga FITMAT || $795.00 We’ve written about yoga standup paddleboards (YSUPs) before, but here’s a floatable yoga mat that is—in this yogi’s opinion—almost too bizarre to be true: the inflatable FITMAT from Boga. That’s right, a floating yoga mat, not a paddleboard you can use for yoga. The FITMAT is a floating yoga mat designed with a waterwicking EVA pad and double laminated drop-stitch technology. The FITMAT can support up to 400 pounds, but we wouldn’t advise testing that by having all your housemates or family members practice yoga on it at once. The mat itself weighs approximately 26 pounds and measures 7.11 by 35 by 6 inches. The FITMAT can be inflated using the ePUMP, and it has a built-in anchoring system.

If you don’t have access to water, the FITMAT can purportedly simulate the feeling of being on the water with its LANDBASE Air module (patent pending) that creates movement patterns similar to those you experience on the water. That said, if you’re in the market for a new way to practice yoga or have some fun on the water, check out the Boga FITMAT, available for $795 from bogaboards.com

Weego Electronic Accessories || $9.99 - 19.99

Weego, a brand of portable electronics, is known for boat-friendly battery jumper units and rechargeable battery packs manufactured

by Paris Corporation. The company has a number of accessories and just announced two new ones: 12V DC adapters for the JS12 and JS18 Jump Starter Battery + models and the OBDII 12V Memory Saver.

The 12-volt DC adapters, which allow boaters to bring portable power aboard in a compact package, essentially transform a Weego starter battery into an auxiliary energy source. Just plug the Weego starter battery into any 12V/10A output with the adapter and you’ve got power. The OBDII Memory Saver permits disconnection of a battery without losing a vessel’s electronic preset parameters. See myweego.com for more details. The 12V DC Adapter has an MSRP of $9.99 and the OBDII 12V Memory Saver has an MSRP of $19.99.

Caframo Sirocco II || $24.00

The cups of landlubbers often don’t cut it when one is underway.

Wine glasses are elegant but fragile. Normal cups are prone to falling over and spilling their contents. Enter the GOVERRE wine glass, “… the classiest sippy cups ever” according to Oprah Magazine. To use, simply pop open the top and pour in the wine. If conditions start to get rough, pop the lid back on top. A twistable knob opens or closes the lid with ease for safe sipping. What’s more, the glass body is housed in a silicone sleeve that helps with gripping. The glass is top rack dishwasher safe, and it’s recommended to leave the silicone sleeve on during the wash. However, do not microwave, freeze, or use with hot beverages. They come in a variety of colors, $24 on goverre.com.

Modular Watermaker FCI Neptune+ || $20,868.00 - $24,910.00 Cramped engine rooms can be found on even the largest vessels. Refitting a largecapacity watermaker in tight conditions can be daunting in both frustration and expense. FCI Watermakers has risen to the challenge with a modular configuration of their high-efficiency Neptune + Modular series. The modular components can simply be delivered through your engine room doors or hatch for configuration once inside.

These machines aren’t just for yachts: FCI’s systems work for commercial vessels, island homes, oil platforms, hotels or wherever clean, pure, fresh water is needed.

AT ELLIOTT BAY MARINA

• Runabouts • • • • • • • • • • • •

Cruisers Motoryachts Fishing Boats Fishing Guides Classic Boats Liveaboards Sailboats Floating Homes Houseboats River Sleds Bass Boats And More…

The innovative commercial-grade Neptune + Modular system is designed to deliver 1,275 to 9,500 gallons of fresh water per day, using non-proprietary parts and premium components. FCI Watermakers is proud of the V4 controller, as it’s Bridge Classified and holds type certification from ABS, GL, Lloyd’s Register EMEA, Det Norske Veritas, and Russian Maritime Register of Shipping.

All watermaking functions are controlled by navigating an intuitive marine-grade 7-inch touch screen. Unattended fresh-water flushes can be scheduled as you see fit. FCI says the Neptune + handles heat stress and

a wide range of water conditions, including suspended particulates and variations in salinity. Add another display module to program and access the system from a remote location—your other island, perhaps.

FCI builds the Neptune + Modular series in the U.S. and has a network of dealers and distributors in over 60 countries. Units from 1,200 to 2,400 gallons per day are available through Fisheries Supply, and start from $20,868 to about $24,910, with a oneyear warranty.

Your Pod

The Water’s Fine

NavPods for Axiom || $299.00 - $529.00.

Your vital electronics need critical protection from harsh offshore boating conditions and theft hazards. The NavPod line from Ocean Equipment (Bend, Ore.) offers a new series of secure, waterproof electronics housing. Power boaters who have purchased up-to-date display devices should have a look at the PowerPod mounting systems as an alternative to traditional brackets. PowerPods are compatible with the latest Raymarine Axiom 7-, 9- and 12-inch multifunction displays. In fact, NavPod offers over 70 pre-cut PowerPods to fit all popular navigation displays. For sailors, the SailPod pedestal series is among several options for secure and attractive device mountings.

These sturdy mounting solutions protect radar, fish finders, and chartplotters in a sleek waterproof housing. PowerPods are offered in high gloss white or the new Carbon Series. The Black Carbon models offer added UV stability. The manufacturer says its Gen3 NavPod enhancements include thicker-gauge, acrylic-capped ABS material with a larger waterproof seal.

NavPod offers a 10-year warranty on all Gen3 NavPods. The products’ anti-theft features are designed to keep your electronics where you put them, so they are there when you need them.

PowerPods can be installed by the skilled and handy boat owner. The manufacturer recommends that the rest of us employ a professional marine electronics technician for best installation results.

Visit navpod.com for additional product information, along with a link to NavPod’s downloadable catalog, and a helpful FAQ page. Current prices direct from the manufacturer range from about $299.00 to $529.00.

Swim Platform Ultra || Prices Vary Summer is finally gracing the Pacific Northwest with sunny days and clear skies, and you know what that means.

That’s right, it’s time to break out the swim suits and enjoy the beautiful waters of a protected cove before they once again become too cold for swimming in a couple months.

For those of us who want to enjoy a nice swim while out on the boat, there’s a new product available from our friends to the north: Swim Platform Ultra, a new take on the standard swim platform, manufactured by TransForm Plus in Canada.

The Swim Platform Ultra is reportedly three times lighter in weight than the average swim platform, weighing in at 1.8 lbs./square foot. The platforms are custom-made to fit the client’s needs, and each one features a non-skid surface to keep swimmers safe when boarding or exiting the vessel. Made of resistant, durable composite materials with a gel coat of purportedly premium quality, the manufacturer promises a 15-year guarantee against degradation or rotting of the product.

Find it at swimplatformultra.com or 1-844-777-SWIM.

Barnacle Buster || $27.99 - $269.99 Do you flush twice a year? Engine temperatures creeping up? Air conditioner not delivering the goods?

Raw seawater is an ample resource for cooling your boat’s mechanical systems; the downside can mean some unpleasant side effects. Unwanted marine growth is the number one cause of saltwater-cooled marine equipment failure. Now, TRAC Ecological offers Barnacle Buster® Concentrate, a fast, safe, cost effective solution to barnacles, zebra mussels, calcium, rust, lime and other mineral deposits that grow where they shouldn’t, clogging and damaging cooling systems. The manufacturer promotes Barnacle Buster® for flushing of engines, air conditioning and refrigeration cooling pipes, as well as cleaning of heat exchangers, bow thrusters, water makers, sea strainers, propellers, seacocks, pumps, and more. Check out TRAC’s line of accessory products designed to make the routine flush job simpler and more efficient.

Barnacle Buster ® can help avoid mechanical disassembly and cleaning of hard-to-reach internal systems. TRAC indicates that the concentrate cleaner is safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable. Simply follow TRAC’s user instructions to prepare your equipment, mix the solution with fresh water, install flush accessories, and circulate Barnacle Buster® into the system for soaking. In just a few hours the buildup will be removed and can be flushed out.

Don’t forget to replace zincs or remove during flushing!

Product fact sheets, FAQs and links to helpful instructional videos are available at traconline.com. Manufactured in the U.S., quart, gallon and fivegallon sizes, with case discounts; can be found at local retailers priced from $27.99 to $269.99.

Easier Is Better

Volvo Penta Easy Drain || Prices Vary

Volvo Penta is on a mission to use innovative engineering to make boat ownership easier.

Their on-going Easy Boating Initiative hopes to remove barriers and simplify boat operation and maintenance. As part of that plan, Volvo Penta has revealed a new patent-pending raw water drain system designed to eliminate part of the hassle of gasoline sterndrive maintenance. The Volvo Penta Easy Drain is now standard

on all Gen V 4.3 and 5.3L engines, and is intended to allow owners to drain raw water from the system easily, and quickly, even when the boat is in the water.

The Easy Drain has a single knob to actuate an anti-syphon valve, without having to remove any water hoses from the engine.

There are no additional plugs to remove. Volvo Penta says the Easy Drain is also intended to allow cold-climate boaters to extend

their season by simplifying the drain task.

The Volvo Penta Easy Drain system was awarded the 2016 IBEX Innovation Award in the inboard engine category. Look for this standard new Volvo Penta feature when shopping for a gasoline stern drive. For more information, Visit Volvopenta.com .

When I find myself 1000 miles from the next human being, far out in the ocean, I can’t help but feel really small. The boat that I’m on takes on a whole new significance in life when she becomes your whole world. It’s a great feeling and those of you fortunate enough to have this experience know what I mean. There are some boats that are well designed and outfitted to become your world and Twist gives you the feeling that she’s that kind of boat. Her designer, Bill Dixon, has the experience and Moody builds terrific boats. When you look at the massive chainplates on Twist you get a real understanding of what “Category A Ocean” means. She feels great underway, very comfortable and safe. Just the sense you want when your existence depends on it.

Marine Electronics

Electric Avenue Torqueedo Electric Motors Torqueedo, the Germany-based electric marine motor company, has announced its first service center for the Pacific Northwest region, Seattle E-Bike. The partnership is off to an exciting start and we thought we’d take a look at the high-tech, fossil-free engines for ourselves.

First, it’s important to be acquainted with some engineering basics. We’re all used to seeing the classic horsepower unit on the trusty combustion outboard, but the “10 HP” displayed on the cowling isn’t the whole story. Many traditional engine manufacturers measure shaft power, which sounds well and good, except shaft power is actually a fairly poor indicator of the true propulsive power a motor. Factors such as the drag of the propeller reduce the propulsive power of an engine, so horsepower based on shaft power is not the best indicator of engine performance. The difference between shaft power and propulsive power is often significant in combustion engines. Fortunately for the user, Torqueedo presents their models in comparable horsepower to combustion counterparts in terms of propulsive power (aka, the spec to pay attention to). Perhaps it is possible, after all, to compare apples to oranges if you get the units correct.

Second, electric engines are theoretically more efficient. Why? It’s all about torque.

Combustion engines have a sharp torque curve within a limited propeller spin-speed range, while an electric engine has a flatter torque curve with more torque available at a wider range of speeds. The differing torque curves allow electric engines to use more efficient propellers that give them an edge with regards to efficiency. An electric engine, in theory, requires much less shaft power to produce similar propulsive power.

It all sounds good on paper, but what about practice? We played with a Travel 1003 model 52 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2017

which, according to the manufacturer, has performance comparable to a three-horsepower combustion engine. The Travel 1003 definitely is not your granddad’s outboard, and has an electronic interface displaying real-time information on battery charge, speed, remaining range, and input power. The data utilizes an integrated GPS that is handy for reports on actual end-performance of the engine and vessel.

The 530-Watt-hours (Wh) lithium ion battery snaps easily into place; no external hose to a gas tank is required. For those who are confident in the amount of battery juice they have, there is a charge port for USB devices (adapter not included). There are also options to mount a solar panel, a remote throttle that can be used instead of the tiller, a magnetic dead man’s switch, and the TorqTrac App that turns one’s smartphone into a multifunction display.

The immediately obvious difference when using the motor is near-silent operation that is, frankly, rather eerie for someone who is used to yelling over motor noise. The engine is quite easy for an adult to install and operate. It’s worth noting the range is always a factor on one’s mind, for at full throttle the Travel 1003 has around 35 minutes of runtime before the 530-Wh battery is depleted.

Additionally, another factor to consider with the electric-combustion comparison is total weight parity. The total weight of the electric engine plus batteries is no doubt heavier than a combustible engine with equal power and output’s-worth of fuel.

Overall, we were big fans of the Travel 1003 as a dinghy or day sailor motor. Torqueedo has many models ranging from the Ultralight 403, which is essentially a paddle-assist trolling motor with approximately one horsepower, to their new inboard Deep Blue Hybrid line with purported output ranges of 40 to 160 horsepower. Interestingly, the Deep Blue Hybrid line not only relies on battery banks, but also utilizes hydrologic energy from the spinning propeller, solar energy from a panel array, and/or power from diesel generators.

Perhaps the hybridization will do to boats what the Prius has done for automobiles?

Hopefully we’ll get a look at the new system aboard a proper yacht someday soon.

For now, we were excited with the promise of the Travel 1003 and Torqueedo’s products. Like everything in boating, there exists a series of pros and cons. However, if you are sick of yelling over your combustion outboard, want the advantages of the computer interface, don’t want to worry about leaky fuel connections, want to do right by the environment, or put a premium on efficiency, you may be parting ways with combustion outboards for your dinghy or day sailor in favor of the Travel 1003. One thing you definitely will not do is save money upfront, for the Travel 1003 with the basics (one 530-Wh battery, electronic tiller, etc.) is $2,099 retail. Hopefully the cost will come down with time. If interested, you can find out more on torqueedo.com or visit the local sales and service center Seattle E-Bike.

Full Throttle It's a late June afternoon and there are passengers to pick up.

After taxiing a safe distance over the water from Kenmore Air's home base, Kenmore Air Harbor, the pilot pushes the throttle forward. The Pratt & Whitney PT6-34 turboprop surges to life as the plane speeds up, leaving a gentle wake but lots of spray in its path. It's only about 60 yards before the de Havilland Canda DHC-3 is airborne, headed for points north, climbing to the south over Seattle's Sand Point and University District before banking to the northwest.

Compared to a Boeing 737, or even a regional jet, the DHC-3 is tiny - it seats only ten passengers. But the experience of flying on one is altogether different - and more fun. It's the largest and most powerful float plane in Kenmore's fleet, capable of cruising for 500 miles at a clip at 130 miles per hour, and since it generally keeps to a ceiling of about 4,000 feet, the views are great.

Kevin’s Catch

By Kevin Klein

The Non-Bummer Summer June in the Northwest can be gray “JUNEuary” type weather, or it can begin the long, hot days of summer. Whether rainy or sunny, we’ve got opportunities to get groceries from the saltwater seafood section of our local waters this month. It’s time to get out on the water, warm up, dry out, and shake off all the moss we gathered in the long winter of 2017. As always, please research the state or provincial fishing regulations of the area you plan to fish before you go.

While we may have some halibut opportunities in the beginning of June in Washington, don’t bank on it. This is the month when many folks head north for extended trips in B.C. and Alaska. Salmon, rockfish, lingcod, and, of course, halibut are the attractions. Lodges and charters may be booked up, but a call can be worth it. Consider, of course, running your own boat by trailer, or even better, by water. A couple weeks in the beautiful waters to the north reeling in fish may be just what the doctor ordered to beat the blues from our long winter. Making these trips in your own vessel is a great adventure. Learn to fish new areas, and then barbeque your catch on the back deck while hanging out in an exotic locale. Maybe even mingle with some interesting locals. Makes me want to fuel up and go!

Washington will have limited salmon opportunity in some coastal waters and in Puget Sound this month. As said above, check the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website for regulations before you plan a trip.

Rockfish can also be caught in some coastal areas.

June is lingcod time in many places in the Northwest. In the interior waters, fishing for these tasty toothies may be regulated to depths shallower than 120 feet of water. No

Top Right: My grandma with two nice Kings caught on the Columbia River in June in the late 50’s. The fish on the left shows the giant June Hog genetics of the big tankers that swam 500 plus miles up the Big C to spawn. Grand Coulee Dam blocked their yearly migration.

Top Left: June is the month when many Northwest folk trek farther north to destinations in B.C. and Alaska for a multi-species buffet.

Below: Ling cod is on the menu for June for sure!

biggie! Bouncing lead-headed jigs with curly tail plastics can be deadly. Find a drop-off, maybe with some kelp, and jig your offering from 30-120 feet downhill. Make sure to drift from shallow into deeper water or you will hang up.

Cod will also take bait in this manner. In places like the San Juan Islands, we have a slot limit size of 26-36 inches.

This lets the little guys grow and the big girls breed and make more ling. Out on the coast there aren’t the same restrictions. Cod fishing is often done in water over 300 feet with heavy pipe jigs. It’s very effective. Eat your catch of cod when it’s fresh. Before freezing, lingcod is a delicacy, the finest eating fish that swims in my opinion.

Don’t forget about the possibility of albacore showing up off the coast this month. Last year, right around my birthday of June 16, the water temperatures were right to get some longfins out of Westport, and it could happen again this year and possibly even earlier to the south. If your own boat isn’t set up for tuna, going on a charter is a great way to catch fish and learn the ropes from an experienced captain. Larger boats with overnight capability are available, or try one of the run-and-gun type six-pack charters for a day trip. These fish are an absolute lineripping blast to reel in, and make great fresh sashimi or canned tuna treats.

Last, but not at all least, prawns rock on in the ‘Juans!

Marine Area 7 West has been open for a longer duration in the spring and summer for the past few years. With longer open seasons (what I call the Canadian model), we see fairly heavy pressure when the season first opens, and then a sharp decrease. In my opinion, this would be the best way to manage almost all fisheries; control with conservative bag limits and slot sizes that let the bigger fish reproduce, then open up seasons for a longer time frame. This also takes out the danger of folks thinking they must go fishing no matter what the weather in these limited few-day seasons. Letting some common sense into the equation would help.

Next month is prime time for Chinook salmon fishing in the salt waters of the Northwest. We will look at where to find them and how to catch them. Until next time, let’s get out there and go get some!

A lifelong resident of Washington, Kevin Klein has been on the rivers, lakes, and salt waters of the Pacific Northwest since conception. In 2004 Kevin relocated to the San Juan Islands and began to write numerous articles for outdoor magazines and contribute to websites dedicated to fishing. Kevin can be found promoting sport fishing and giving seminars on tips and techniques to become a better boater and fishing person.

A passion became a career when Kevin joined Inside Passage Yacht Sales as their Northwest sports and fishing representative. On any given day you may find Kevin and his wife Vicki, also an accomplished angler, plying the waters of the Northwest, spreading the word of the benefits of the boating and fishing lifestyle.

On Watch

By Peter Schrappen

Winning Begets Winning Rep. Gael Tarleton (D-Seattle) said it best on her Facebook page in 2012 after passing her first piece of legislation, “Every bill takes a journey.” Just as with any boating journey, there’s a need for leadership and management to ensure success. On the leadership side of a boat trip, what is the process used in deciding where the trip ends? What’s the point of the journey? How does the leader ensure success for those he/she is leading?

Equal parts management is needed, too. Who is responsible for buying groceries and making dinner? What about the other essential details like gas and pump-out locations?

If leadership is at the helicopter level, management is much more detail and precision-oriented. Plus, there is the push and pull of the team that needs management. It’s at this level that we are talking about assigning tasks, managing personalities, and holding each other accountable.

Like a successful boat trip, securing a successful piece of legislation is a journey, too. Both include equal parts leadership and management. Most recently, the passage of Senate Bill 6242 brought this home to me. Governor Jay Inslee signed this bill into law on April 20, 2017 and it was a big win for the superyacht segment of the boating community. More precisely, this legislation applies to foreign-flagged vessels.

Did you know that every foreign-flagged boat needs to hire a pilot once they enter Washington waters if they do not receive an exemption? Before Senate Bill 6242, these waivers were only available to boats up to 200 feet and 750 gross tons. The problem is that boats around 200 feet have a volume much greater than 750 gross tons. This bill upped the gross tonnage to 1,300, keeping the length of vessels at 200 feet.

I know a lot about the intricacies of this bill because I was the project lead on it. After some reflection on this victory, here are some highlights and key takeaways that, with a little tweaking, will apply to anyone who works with people.

1) Target, target, target. Know what you want and put a plan in place to get that win. At the outset, before messages are created, know the types of people in your audience. For this legislation, I needed a legislative champion. To that end, I used some political action committee dollars from the Northwest Marine Trade Association (NMTA) to provide an excuse to pitch the “1,300 gross tons is way better than 750 gross tons” message to legislators who would back the bill.

2) Data is your friend. I have come a long way in my appreciation of reliable data points to bolster a sales pitch (aka lobbying). Salient info delivered to the right people at the right time in the right order set you apart from the competition. For this journey, I needed to show the average volume of 200-foot vessels was closer to 1,100 gross tons than the current limit of 750 gross tons. Graphs told this story better than I ever could.

58 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2017

3) Plan backwards. Start the planning process with the end goal and work backwards. This is called “NASA planning” and it works. I wanted a bill that would wind up on the governor’s desk. I started with lawmakers who had the most juice to get the job done (chairs of the committees where the bills would be heard) and asked them to champion the cause for me. I knew their track records (they love the boating community) and found bipartisan support for a prime sponsor (every bill needs a prime sponsor to officially head up the bill).

All successful bills have common characteristics and this legislation was no different: • Work the committee. Just as very few people show up at a boat show and purchase a boat cold, elected officials are not keen to support legislation not presold to them in a meeting prior to the formal legislative hearing.

• Build champions. It can be a slow process taking five or more years, but hold the legislator’s hand and care more about them as people than important decision makers. Listen to them, help them succeed, and focus on how they like to receive information and they will be your legislative champions.

• Sweat the details. Leading the effort and managing the process means that you are on top of the minutia, so staff and lawmakers can then rely on you for information delivered in a timely fashion.

Left to right: Tanner Hockley (NMTA lobbyist), Peter Schrappen (me), Lisa Thatcher (Victoria Clipper), Ginny Schrappen (my mom), and Senator Curtis King. August and Olive Schrappen (my kids) stand next to Governor Jay Inslee.

Winning begets winning. Although there’s no doubt that this bill only applies to a relatively small portion of boating, creating a boat friendly climate makes all future legislation possible. Getting lawmakers saying “yes” to pro-boating legislation is always a good thing and this win paves the way for more wins down the road.

Summer Means It’s Time for Pie Pacific Northwest summers are famous for an abundance of fruits. The Northwest’s early settlers brought the rootstocks for cultivating our fruit celebrities: berries, apricots, plums, cherries, apples, and pears, to name a few. The season starts with strawberries, rhubarb, and cherries in spring, then apricots and an assortment of plums become available. The mid-summer brings us raspberries, blueberries, Marionberries, and blackberries with various apple varieties starting to roll into the mix. Late summer delivers huckleberries, and then more apple varieties, pears, and the progression of fruits for the fall. Pies, crisps, buckles, and slumps are a fun and easy way to take advantage of our summer fruits.

Many of these desserts just need a few simple ingredients, such as flour, butter, and sugar. As a kid growing up in the Northwest, no summer was complete without multiple blackberry pies and the stains to go with it!

Cruising in the summer often means entertaining, and what better way to show your love and hospitality than with a beautiful pie or crisp? Storing flour and sugar in airtight containers is an easy task. Then all you need are a few other ingredients for a pie or a crisp (butter, salt, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, etc.) that can be stored in a single large airtight container for easy access.

If you have the luxury of a larger boat, you may have an on-board freezer, and in that case, I would keep pre-rolled

packages of pie dough or pre-mixed streusel dough in the freezer for building a quick dessert. All that is left to gather is the fruit, and so many cruising destinations have farmers markets, fruit stands, or patches of wild berries ready to collect for dessert. Those thorny patches of blackberries are good for something after all.

The easiest dessert to prepare is the crisp, which is fruit sweetened and dotted with butter in a baking dish, then topped with a mixture of flour, sugar, butter, salt, and the optional oats, nuts, or spices. Crisps take about an hour to bake to a deep golden color and are great with ice cream. As far as ice cream is concerned, many ports of call in the Salish Sea have a local ice cream shop in the downtown drag.

Pies require a bit more work with the creation of the crust which, if made by hand, requires blending, chilling, rolling, then building and baking. Slumps are a biscuit or cake-like batter poured over berries or wet fruit and baked in the oven; easy and very delicious! My friend Janet’s family recipe has been handed down through several generations and they use peaches or blueberries. Her family calls their recipe a “buckle,” which is the reaction you have eating her dessert! Other folks call the same dessert a slump, which is what happens as you enjoy the dessert sitting in a chair. Whether sitting on a boat chaise or in a chair, any of these desserts would be a great way to end a beautiful Northwest evening on the water. I’ll bring the vanilla ice cream!

Fruit Crisp Streusel Topping: /2 cup all-purpose flour /4 cup brown sugar 1/ teaspoon ground cinnamon 4 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1/ cup rolled oats 2 1 1

The Fruit: 6-8 cups fruit: Pitted cherries, strawberries, blackberries, apples Quantity of fruit depends on the size of the dish 1 cup sugar Pinch of salt 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, optional Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl blend the fruit with the sugar, salt and cinnamon, then pour into the baking dish. In the same bowl, blend dry ingredients with the butter, rubbing through your fingers to break up the butter, then pour the mixture evenly over the fruit. Bake for about one hour, or until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbly. Top with whipped cream after serving, if desired.

Apple Pie

Flaky Pie Dough: 2 cups all-purpose flour Pinch of salt 1 cup butter, cold and diced small 4 tablespoons cold water – or more if needed Pinch of sugar Blend the dry ingredients together in a bowl, or in the bowl of a food processor. Add the cold butter and blend in, taking care to pulse with the food processor or blend with your fingers until the butter is pea-sized. Chill again if necessary then add in the cold water, combining the dough until it comes together into a ball. Press into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until the dough is cold and rested.

Pie filling: 6 – 8 apples, peeled and diced 3/ cup fine sugar 4 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon Pinch of salt 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for dusting the top of the pie 2 tablespoons heavy cream or an egg to brush the dough For a berry pie, use 10 cups of berries and add 4 tablespoons flour or 1/2 cup of tapioca instead of flour.

To build the pie, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the diced apples in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and set aside. Divide the pie dough into two-thirds and a third, and use the two-third piece for the bottom, roll into one-eighth-inch thick disk and line your pan, then roll the top and set aside. Fill the pan with the fruit filling, top with the final pie dough, using your cream or egg wash to brush on the seam of the two crusts, trimming all excess dough to 1” of the pan’s edge. Fold up the edges and crimp to seal the dough. Brush the top of the pie with the cream or the egg wash and sprinkle with the granulated sugar. Bake immediately for one hour or until the top of the pie is a deep golden brown.

Peach Buckle For an 8x8 baking pan 2 1/2 - 3 cups peaches 1/ cup sugar (adjust based on sweet2 ness of fruit and personal preference) 1/ cup milk 2 3/ cup flour 4 3/ cup sugar 4 1/ teaspoon baking powder 2 1/ cup butter, melted 2 Cinnamon Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put peaches and first addition of sugar into a saucepan and cook until the sugar melts and the remove from heat. Combine milk, flour, sugar and baking powder. Pour melted butter into an 8x8 baking pan. Pour batter into pan.

Pour peaches on top of batter. Sprinkle with cinnamon. You may add additional fruit, or substitute raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until top is golden brown. After serving, top with Raspberries or other fruit if desired.

Like the many summer tourists that visit the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and Alaska, many kinds of animals make their ways to local waters in the warm months.

By Brianna King Around the world, animals participate in mass migrations that have existed for thousands of years. Many of these migrations are Olympic-worthy, long-distance feats of physical prowess, covering several hundred, sometimes thousands, of miles every year, often with barely any feeding along the way. There’s the great caribou

A

64 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2017

migration of the far north, in which large herds of caribou will travel as a single group across northern Alaska. There’s the Arctic tern, which holds the record for the longest migration of any animal — 44,000 miles between the Arctic and the Antarctic. There’s the peculiar migration of the Christmas Island red crab, in which thousands of these crabs migrate

rounds on local waters to the delight of boaters who witness them. The warm, sunny weather and calmer waters make it an optimal time to get out and see transient fauna that call the North Pacific home for only part of the year, so now is the time to slap on some sunscreen, grab your binoculars, and head out on a boat!

But first, what is the definition of a migration? As defined in a scientific paper by two marine mammal scientists, Peter J. Corkeron and Richard C. Connor, “migration involves persistent movement between two destinations.” There is often an associated pattern, either by time of year, stage of life, and especially the destination.

Many different types of animals migrate, including fish, mammals, and birds.

To take an even further step back, why do animals migrate in the first place? This is a question that is not quite as straightforward as one would think. For example, let’s take a look at whales. Many migrations exist between breeding and feeding grounds, with the apparent strategy being that breeding grounds typically exist in cold, nutrient-rich water that supports a larger amount of lower trophic level organisms, such as plankton and schooling species of fish, and that breeding grounds exist in warm waters so that young can

build up fat reserves in warm, calm water before venturing to higher latitudes. Many species of whale utilize this strategy, such as humpbacks migrating from their breeding grounds in the warm waters of Hawaii to their feeding areas in Alaska.

Migrations, however, are energetically costly. For scientists, it makes sense that animals would migrate to areas dense in nutrient-rich waters — the energetic payoff is a net benefit. The other side of the story — travelling to warm, nutrient-poor waters for breeding and birthing — leaves some scientists scratching their heads. Is the energetic payoff still a net benefit for the individual animal?

One hypothesis to explain this behavior in whales is that during the winter months in colder waters, food sources become scarce, and so there is an overall energetic advantage to travel to warmer water. Basically, staying in colder waters does not provide enough food for it to be beneficial to the animal, so they may as well travel to warmer, more protected waters to give their young the best head start in life.

In a 1999 paper by Corkeron and Connor, titled Why Do Baleen Whales Migrate?, the authors’ hypothesis is that baleen whales, such as humpbacks, give birth in warmer regions not because of warmer,

from their terrestrial burrows to the coast to breed. And there are animals right here in Pacific Northwest waters that participate in their own amazing long-distance journeys.

Like the many spring and summer tourists that visit the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and Alaska, many kinds of animals make their

only complete a partial migration, leads scientists to think that this is not the case, and so is probably more related to some immediate biological benefit to the animal.

All these examples from whales highlight some of the potential reasons that organisms may choose to participate in a migration. There are several marine animals that locals are familiar with in the Pacific Northwest that have migration as part of their life history.

Gray Whales

calmer waters for their calves, but because they are trying to avoid the number one predator to a young calf — killer whales.

Killer whale predation in lower latitudes is significantly lower than in higher latitudes, and so there may be a net benefit in allowing the young, vulnerable calf to grow and gain strength before being at more risk in colder water.

Why don’t the killer whales just follow them? Corkeron and Connor suggest another hypothesis that if killer whales were to follow humpbacks, it may remove them from their primary source of food, which are seals and sea lions, also known as pinnipeds (on a side note, these orcas are specifically referred to as transient orcas,

which live offshore and primarily feed on marine mammals, in contrast to resident orcas, which live nearshore and primarily feed on fish, such as the orcas of Puget Sound). While these transient orcas may go after a young humpback calf from time to time, the majority of their diet is seals and sea lions, and so it is not worth it for the orca to follow the humpbacks to Hawaii.

A final theory is something akin to traditional knowledge, and this is yet another idea that marine mammal scientists have as to why some species migrate. They think that migratory patterns have been passed down from long ago, when continents were closer together. The fact that some species of whales do not migrate every year, or even

Gray whales give birth to their young during the spring months down south, and are seen travelling northward between January and June.

Gray whales have one of the longest migration of any mammal on earth, about 10,000 miles in two to three months. Every year, they travel between their breeding grounds in Mexico to the cold waters of Alaska and the Arctic. Gray whales give birth to their young during the spring months down south, and are seen travelling northward between January and June.

They are found in the Pacific Northwest in the spring, and can be seen near Whidbey and Camano islands, as well as in Puget Sound and Port Susan Bay. In Oregon, Depoe Bay is a great place to view gray whales. Here the whales take a rest stop from their long journey and lounge in the bay, often close enough to be viewed from shore. Unlike some organisms that do not feed during migrations, the gray whale feeds throughout its migration, eating organisms hidden in muddy bottoms by scooping up big chunks of mud and sifting organisms through its baleen plates. This behavior can be observed when the gray whales are in the Pacific Northwest.

Albacore Tuna Late summer to early fall is the height of the season for albacore tuna, an exciting fishery off our coast. These fish are a migratory species as well, and may just have most other animals beat in terms of distance — every year, these incredible ocean athletes swim from off the coast of Japan to the West Coast of the USA, and then return to Japan, quite literally across the ocean and back. The physiology of these fish is what allows them to travel such long distances — their general shape is a fusiform shape, meaning it is a similar hydrodynamic shape of a torpedo. In addition to their overall sleek shape, tunas have little ‘pockets’ on the sides of their bodies into which they tuck their pectoral fins, making them even more streamlined. Tunas have incredibly oxygen-rich blood, which contributes to their distinctive, bright-red, flavorful meat (though albacores do not have deeply red meat as other tuna, such as yellowfin or bluefin).

The majestic sandhill cranes pass through the Pacific Northwest in the spring and call Alaska home in the summer.

These birds are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, meaning they are off limits to hunters.

In addition to high oxygen content, tunas are also able to maintain a relatively high internal body temperature. Any internal heat generated within a fish is usually lost when the blood runs through their gills.

Tunas use an adaptation called countercurrent heat exchange. Blood vessels that run in opposite directions are close enough to generate heat internally, then exchange blood between vessels rather than through the gills. This is a clever physiological design that enables tunas to be as much as 15 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the water they are immersed in.

This gives these fish an advantage because they are not limited to certain ranges, and what brings them to the Pacific Northwest is a shift in oceanic water temperatures. Albacore like to maintain themselves along temperature discontinuities, also known as oceanic fronts.

Since they maintain a higher internal body temperature, albacore prefer waters that allow them to not waste as much energy maintaining their body temperature. In general, these fish tend to spend time in water between 59 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit.

Upwelling (when cold, nutrient-rich water is brought to the surface) fuels the marine food chain, and occurs along these oceanic fronts, and is an important source of food for albacore as well.

Snowy plovers are found up and down the West Coast and even so far south as the western coast of South America. They are semi-migratory in Oregon and Washington, often journeying south for the winter.

Tuna are notoriously difficult to keep in aquariums, so you won’t be seeing them at the Seattle Aquarium any time soon.

To see these guys, the best way is to head out on a fishing charter, or perhaps view them on ice and ready for dinner in Pike Place market.

Sandhill Cranes Birds are probably the most well-known for being migratory animals. Many marine or coastal bird species spend their winters in Washington and their summers north in Alaska or the Arctic. A unique bird that can be seen during the spring and fall in the Pacific Northwest is the sandhill crane.

These large (they have a six-foot wing span), graceful birds feed in California during the winter, and then migrate up to Southern Alaska to breed during the summertime (I can attest to this as I am in Homer, Alaska, as I write this, and saw one today!). They can mostly be seen in eastern Washington in large groups, and even have their very own festival dedicated to them in late March in Othello. Apparently, they can be seen in the southern Puget Sound region as well.

The question of how to manage migratory bird species, such as the sandhill crane, between nations was the impetus for the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918. This treaty states that it is illegal

to hunt for birds listed under the MBTA, which includes species of shorebirds. This Act was brought about during an era of unregulated hunting, in which many birds were sought not just for meat, but for their feathers as well. Depending on the species of bird, shorebirds can be viewed during their migrations in the spring and fall on shorelines and, particularly, estuaries.

Migrations are an amazing adaptation taken on by different organisms, and demonstrate the fascinating strategies individual species developed to survive in the wild. It is quite astonishing the extremes animals will achieve to ensure they are evolutionarily competitive, and animals that choose to call the Pacific Northwest home are not different. In a world in which we talk about boundaries and borders, and humans spend a lot of time determining the best way to enforce those boundaries, animals just keep doing what they have been doing for thousands of years, and in a way, we can take comfort that they will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Keep an eye out for these amazing animals on the water this summer!

Winging your way across the Northwest with Kenmore Air

68 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2017

A pair of guests pose with a Kenmore Air de Havilland Canda DHC-2 Turbo Beaver at the Alderbrook Resort.

Words and Photos: Alex Kwanten

It ’s a cloudy, bluster y morning on the Hood Canal and all is quiet on the dock at the Alderbrook Resor t.

The rain has cleared up, but the wind and currents are strong, only the cormorants and a lone aluminum fishing boat brave the water this morning. On the eastern horizon, a tiny black object appears above the trees, moving in fast and against the wind — it’s a de Havilland Canada Turbo Beaver. The Kenmore Air seaplane descends slowly, just touching the surface with a single pontoon then putting down both, gliding through the spray for a smooth landing as the pilot reverses thrust to slow the aircraft in the water.

Two minutes later, the Turbo Beaver is at the dock, and passengers — six Redmond

T

software engineers on a corporate outing — are exiting for an afternoon of fun. They’ve been in the air only 19 minutes — the Turbo Beaver can transport people in quiet comfort at 140 miles per hour, and if the weather is cooperative, it can go almost anywhere with a long enough stretch of water for landing and takeoff, including sheltered anchorages far from civilization. A big part of Kenmore Air’s charter business is transporting boaters directly to and from individual boats and marinas during cruising season.

Pilot Steve Bjorling, an 18-year veteran of Kenmore Air, ties up the plane and gets ready to wait with the aircraft for a couple

of hours. “Sometimes, I’m turning right around to go back, but today is relatively slow,” he says. As he gets ready for the wait, two young boys and their father come up to pose with the plane. During the three hours the Beaver is docked, over half a dozen people will take selfies with it.

“It’s my favorite of our fleet to fly,” says Bjorling. The Turbo Beaver is an enlarged version of Kenmore Air’s mainstay, the sixpassenger de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver, but where the Beaver has a 450-horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior radial engine, the seven-passenger Turbo enjoys 680 horses from a Pratt & Whitney JUNE 2017 || NORTHWEST YACHTING

The Turbo Beaver glides down gently over the water, dipping in one pontoon and then the other for a smooth, trouble-free landing at Alderbrook. Pilots actually prefer a little bit of movement in the water when they land as it gives them a more accurate idea of the conditions and currents they’ll encounter.

Alderbrook Resort On the day we photographed our charter flight, our destination was Alderbrook Resort & Spa in Union, Washington, along the Hood Canal. Alderbrook is a couple of hours from Seattle by car and ferry, and a day’s cruise down the canal by boat — but just 20 minutes from Lake Union by float plane, making it an ideal candidate for a quick trip by charter. Once there, you’ll want to stay.

Alderbrook was founded by Henry Stumer as a tent camp in 1913, but the “Alderbrook Girls,” Clara Eastwood and Eloise Flagg, who operated it as a more refined resort in the 1920s and 30s would hardly recognize the modern, luxurious accommodations and amenities it offers today. Alderbrook is all about relaxation, from saunas and luxurious rooms inside to tranquil waterfront surroundings outside. The Resort’s dock has room for dozens of boats along 1,500 feet of mooring space for water-borne visitors. On land, Alderbrook offers four miles of nature trails and breathtaking scenery of the nearby Olympic Mountains. There’s also abundant wildlife; seals, loons, and eagles are frequent visitors, drawn by the same fishing and crabbing opportunities as boaters.

But first-time flyers will be surprised that even though they feel fast and glamorous as the float plane accelerates on the water, the flying experience of the airplanes is not one of raw speed but of genteel comfort. Kenmore’s planes typically fly at about 1,500-2,000 feet — high enough to get a great view of the Northwest scenery as outside the large window, but not so low as to discern the actual ground speed.

Passengers wear headsets to talk to each other and the pilot, and the seats

ers head to points north such as lodges, resorts, and boats.

Scheduled Stops During the high season when cruisers and tourists head north to spend their days kayaking and their nights eating fresh-caught fi sh at resorts, Kenmore serves 42 scheduled seaplane destinations (seven are served year-round) from its two home bases — Seattle’s Lake Union and Kenmore Air Harbor at the top of Lake Washington. A quarter of these popular scheduled stops are in the San Juan Islands, only 35 to 45 minutes from

This is something fun. feel more like those in a vintage sports car than an airliner — but comfier. “It’s a more relaxed way to travel,” says Bjorling. “When people get on a regular flight [on a jet], they’re sort of enduring that experience, not enjoying it. This is something fun.”

There’ll be plenty of people enjoying as the summer arrives; the airline transports more than 85,000 customers a year, and demand is highest in the summer as fly-

Seattle. The rest are in British Columbia, stretching all the way up to Sullivan Bay — a nearly three-hour flight.

Scheduled stops are generally set at the most popular lodges and largest destinations, like Sonora Resort in British Columbia or Rosario Resort in the San Juans, but some are also geared to popular anchorages like Prideaux Haven, where many cruising boaters congregate.

Aside from those in the San Juans or on

Vancouver Island proper, many of these destinations are accessible only by water, making float planes the only option for getting there quickly.

A scheduled Kenmore Air trip to Prideaux Haven runs $660 round trip per person, and for most customers this is a perfect choice. Anybody headed to Prideaux Haven should be aware that there isn’t a dock there. Passengers exit onto dinghies and skiffs that belong to whomever they’re joining — and it’s the passenger’s responsibility to arrange for pickup.

New customers who might be more used to flying on 747s might also want to pack light. Kenmore’s aircraft are fairly capacious, but scheduled service passengers are limited to bringing along only 25 pounds of luggage each. Bringing only what you need can be an adventure too.

If the destination you want isn’t on the schedule or if it’s the off-season, there’s still a way to get there — like the Redmond software engineers did — by chartering.

GO YOUR OWN WAY In addition to the 42 scheduled destinations, Kenmore has 500+ specific float plane charter destinations. These are distinct points of interest that visitors frequent, but perhaps without sufficient demand for a scheduled stop. But chartering means more than going off the beaten path — it’s about being able to go anywhere, anytime.

“People charter for all kinds of reasons,” says Kenmore’s Charter & Group Sales Manager Emily Mamales, “Some people just want their own aircraft. They know they might be bringing more than 25 pounds, they might be bringing supplies for the boat or even doing a crew change.”

Mamales, a boater herself with a 42-foot Grand Banks named Patience, is very familiar with the needs of the boating community and those who cruise with guests.

“For some people, they’ll go up with a group and then return with another as they’re changing guests,” noting that the boating community is a significant portion of the charter market.

Significantly, there’s no cargo limit beyond the capacity of the aircraft itself. That can help with resupplying a large boat or flying in a spare part. Instead of 25 pounds per person, Mamales says, “you have the full capacity of our aircraft allowed to you, whether you fill it with passengers or gear.”

Mamales advises making sure that gear is appropriate to your journey because you’ll have to declare it at customs.

Meeting a vessel in a remote location is no problem for go-anwhere float planes, making them a unique resource for cruising boaters.

Charters can come and go on the customer’s schedule, and the planes can go almost anywhere a customer wants, although that can require careful planning.

“If I’ve got somebody up in the Broughton Islands that needs to get home in an emergency or unusual situation, we take a look at their location,” Mamales says, “and whether or not there’s a sufficient landing location that we can either meet a boat and have them take a skiff over, or if there’s a nearby marina that we’ve used before that we know is seaplane friendly.”

“Taking a look” might involve getting pictures of the terrain from the potential charter client and some careful study of the surrounding area. For this, Mamales often turns to the same tools as cruisers.

“I have my Waggoner’s Cruiser Guide at my desk and I’m constantly looking to verify locations,” she says.

De

The planes can also float up to beaches if the conditions are right. Back at Alderbrook, the two boys admiring Pilot Steve’s Turbo Beaver notice that there are two wooden oars strapped to the insides of the pontoons and inquire about them.

“Those are for pushing off and away from beaches,” Bjorling answers. “But they don’t get used much, they usually just age until we replace them.” But the oars are there if needed.

All this comes at a cost, of course. Reserving your own aircraft is a premium service. A scheduled service trip to Refuge Cove for four might run $1,288 one way, but they’ll be limited to the 25-pound luggage capacity and the timetable. A charter to the same location would allow the quartet to fill the aircraft and come and go as they please for about $3,100.

Prices vary considerably depending on

Havilland Canada

You may notice that Kenmore Air’s fleet has a somewhat vintage look to it, and that’s because the designs of the two mainstays of the fleet, the de Havilland Canada (DHC) DHC-2 Beaver and the larger DHC-3 Turbo Otter, date back to the 1940s.

The Beaver first flew in 1947 and the Otter in 1951, and both were in production into the late 1960s.

As the name suggests, DHC was once the Canadian division of the British de Havilland Aircraft Company. After WWII, it became an independent Crown Corporation of Canada.

The Beaver (seating for six to seven) and Otter (seating for ten to eleven) were designed, in consultation with Canadian Bush pilots for STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) operations to service remote places in Canada. DHC’s later products include the DHC-6 “Twin Otter,” a twin prop STOL aircraft, and the DHC-8, more suited to regional operations and visible every day in the Northwest flying for Horizon Air and Air Canada Express, among others.

Though Beaver and Otter are older aircraft, the aircraft are regularly and comprehensively rebuilt, and many engineering improvements have made them more efficient and cost effective than newer aircraft. De Havilland Canada was eventually purchased by Bombardier in the 1980s. A modern company, Viking Air of Sidney, B.C., purchased all certificates for the classic DHC types in 2005, and now produces new parts for older aircraft and new “Twin Otter” airplanes in British Columbia.

the destination and the aircraft, the more capacious, the higher the cost.

Family FLYING During the busiest times of the summer, charters can’t always wait, mainly because all aircraft are in use. But the airline does its best to help. “They’re very can-do,” says Bob Hutnik. Bob and his wife Nancy, both now retired, spend their summers cruising on Trading Places, their 53-foot Tollycraft.

“Some years ago when I was still working,” says Bob, “Nancy and my son Kyle were up at Seattle Yacht Club’s outstation at Henry Island. They have a big Fourth of July party at the station, but we weren’t going to that party so we had to be off the dock, but I wasn’t there [to drive the boat].”

“I got hung up down in Seattle. On a Friday. On Fourth of July weekend,” adds Bob. “I’m running late, so I call them up, and the dispatcher says, ‘Well, we can’t hold the plane but we have six planes going up, we’ll make your plane the last plane.’”

Despite arriving a few minutes late, Bob made it to Henry Island, crisis averted.

In the family, it’s Kyle who travels the most by seaplane. “They’re in the islands or up north all summer,” Kyle says. “So we’ll coordinate and I’ll take Kenmore up to meet them. I’ve flown into Cortes Bay quite a bit, I’ve flown into Ganges, this year I’m flying into Sullivan Bay and then back out of Dent Island.”

The family does fly together, however,

sometimes without the boat as a destination. “We’ve done some fishing trips where we take a four-day weekend at Dent,” says Bob, who smiles at the hidden gem he discovered one day where he caught a fish a few hours before departure.

“The best part is, you can take your fresh-caught salmon, they can put it in a plastic bag and fill it with ice, and they put it in a special compartment in the pontoon.

We caught a fish at about 1100 hours and it was on the grill at 1700 hours back at our place in Seattle,” he adds. “It doesn’t get fresher than that.”

The Hutniks have also flown in less than ideal conditions.

“Once,” relates Nancy, “We had a really low-cloud deck. Two planes went out and tried to fly their normal route but turned around and came back. We were heading up to the San Juans and we ended up going up the inside of Whidbey Island and actually flew the Swinomish Channel, and came out

by Anacortes, but we were quite low over the water. The view was very interesting.”

THERE AND BACK AGAIN Two-and-a-half hours after the software engineers arrived at the quiet oasis of Alderbrook, they head out to the dock where a few recreational fishing boats have gathered for the start of spot shrimp season the next day on the Hood Canal. The Sunshine Coast, Desolation Sound, and the Inside Passage are the most popular fishing

OTHER SERVICES Although Kenmore Air flies mostly float planes, the company also operates a fleet of more conventional land planes – under the banner of Kenmore Air Express – to scheduled destinations in Washington and British Columbia.

You can’t go directly to a boat on one, but they offer a convenient and slightly less expensive way of getting near locations where a vessel can be left for some time. Year-round wheeled service, flown primarily by Cessna 208 Caravan turboprops, is offered to Friday Harbor and Orcas Island airports, and wheeled aircraft can be chartered to 350 additional tarmac destinations as far afield as California and Alaska.

Kenmore Air also offers flight instruction, conducted in Piper Super Cubs, for those who 72 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2017

want to go beyond riding as a passenger. Prior flight experience isn’t necessary for the $99 introductory lesson, in which one of Kenmore’s instructor pilots guides the student through 30 minutes of takeoffs and landings on Lake Washington. More advanced students – with a Private Pilot Certificate and a current FAA Third Class medical – can opt for six- or ten-hour seaplane specific training courses ($1,895 and $2,500 plus instructor fees, respectively) to earn their seaplane ratings and learn advanced techniques in mountain, lake, and river flying.

Kenmore Air also maintains and rebuilds de Havilland Canada Beavers and Otters for customers – including celebrities like Harrison Ford, a long-time Kenmore Air fanboy.

destinations for Kenmore passengers, but it’s easy to imagine flying in a friend for one of those four days a year spot shrimp harvesting is allowed.

That’s not how the rest of the day will be spent for the engineers, who pose for selfies and group photos with the Turbo Beaver before clambering back onboard as Bjorling does his preflight checks. Nobody’s eager to bid farewell to the resort, but obligations beckon.

The propeller swiftly spins as the turboprop fires to life, and within a few seconds the aircraft slowly taxis out onto the canal.

Bjorling heads out more than a half mile into the water to keep a safe distance from the shore before turning around to takeoff into the eastbound wind.

Bjorling punches the throttle and the buzz of the engine can be heard a half mile away as the plane moves forward, leaving a spray of water in its wake — in just seconds it’s off the water and climbing, banking starboard to make the eastbound trek back to Seattle. In 20 minutes, all aboard will be back in Seattle, but they won’t forget the experience.

NAKWAKTO CRUISING SEYMOUR AND BELIZE INLETS

By Elsie Hulsizer

74 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2017

Venture beyond Nakwakto Rapids into Seymour and Belize Inlets and you will find steep-sided fjords, raging waterfalls, quiet lagoons, solitary anchorages, Native pictographs, and views of snowcapped mountains. But ask most cruising boaters if they have been there, and they’ll ask, “Where’s that?” Tell them it’s behind Nakwakto Rapids, and they recoil in horror,

“Oh no, I’d never take my boat there.”

Nakwakto Rapids connect Seymour and Belize Inlets to Queen Charlotte Strait. The second fastest tidal rapids in the world (the fastest is Skookumchuck Narrows in Sechelt Inlet south of Princess Louisa Inlet), a passage through the rapids can be intimidating.

Currents in the rapids reach a maximum of 11.5 knots on the flood and 14.5 knots on the ebb. Slack lasts only six minutes.

Currents run so strong past Turret Rock in the rapid’s center that locals call it Tremble Island. The Sailing Directions: Discovery Passage to Queen Charlotte Strait and West Coast of Vancouver Island warns, “Mariners are strongly advised to navigate Nakwakto Rapids only at slack water. At no other time is it possible to navigate this rapid safely.”

A boat passing through Nakwakto Rapids must first navigate either Slingsby or Schooner channels, which go up either side of Bramham Island and meet at the rapids. In Slingsby, the northern of the two channels, currents run at seven knots on the flood and nine knots on the ebb. In a strong west or southwest wind on the ebb, conditions in the channel entrance and offshore can be rough. Currents in Schooner Channel, the southern channel, run at five knots on the flood and six knots on the ebb. Islands at its entrance protect it from strong winds and seas, but rocks and shallows require careful attention. Of Schooner Channel, the Sailing Directions warn, “It is not advisable to attempt this passage without local knowledge.”

As if those natural hazards aren’t enough, mariners also need to watch for log tows in Nakwakto at high-water slack and in Schooner Channel on the ebb. A security call on VHF Channel 16 is a good idea.

Except for logging facilities, this is an undeveloped area. There are no marinas, stores, or repair facilities. However, VHF radio reception, including weather and Canadian Coast Guard, is good. Port

McNeill and Port Hardy both offer supplies and services and are only a day away.

My husband Steve and I had passed Seymour and Belize inlets at least ten times in our Annapolis 44 sloop, Osprey, before we stopped. In the summer of 2013, we were sailing by Slingsby Channel when Steve said, “We’ve got a flood and the wind is calm; let’s go in and see what the rapids look like.” Uneasy at the idea of approaching the rapids on an incoming tide, I protested. But Steve was determined.

As we motored up channel, eddies swirled across the water. Currents whipped past rocks at the edge of the channel, piling up on the upstream side of rocks and falling into dizzying vortexes on the downstream sides. I imagined Osprey sucked through the rapids, chewed up, and spit out as fiberglass shards.

Steve glanced uneasily at the chart spread out on the cockpit seat. “Maybe we’d better find a place to anchor.” He shoved the throttle forward and steered toward nearby Treadwell Bay, the engine going full bore as it strained to get us out of the current. I held my breath as the boat seemed to crawl across the channel, then sighed with relief as we finally entered the bay and its quiet water. We dropped anchor in the bay’s northeast corner. A few minutes before slack water, we raised anchor and motored out toward the passage. Sunlight bounced off calm water, highlighting Turret Rock and its collection of wooden signs nailed to trees by victorious boaters.

I thought about what a race it would be to nail a sign on a tree in only six minutes.

Passage through the rapids looked easy.

If we hadn’t had other plans, we would have gone through. Instead, we turned south and rode the ebb out Schooner Channel to anchor in Skull Cove.

From that experience we learned two things: It’s almost as important to plan your approach to Nakwakto as it is to plan your passage through it and, as with any tidal

rapids, a successful passage is all about timing. That winter, we started planning for a trip there.

Seymour and Belize inlets resemble a hand with long fingers reaching inland.

Belize Inlet stretches 25 miles inland; Seymour Inlet stretches 43 miles inland to the Seymour River Delta. In between the two inlets, Nugent Sound extends ten miles inland. Coves, lagoons, and still more sounds branch from the inlets.

Remembering that M. Wylie Blanchet, author of The Curve of Time, had braved the rapids, I reread her story. The day before her family went through, a fishing inspector scared them with a tale of going through the rapids 20 minutes late, losing his propeller, and ricocheting on and off rock walls in the raging current for three hours. Blanchet and her five children anx-

iously watched the current, worried that their clock might be wrong. “Weren’t we sillies,” Blanchet tells her children after an easy transit in calm water.

Kelp streamed seaward as we motored up Schooner Channel the next summer.

Just out of sight of the rapids’ swirling dangers, we pulled into narrow Cougar Inlet and anchored to wait for slackbefore-flood, forecast for 1857 hours. Only the slightest current flowed through this little tree-lined inlet. A rock wall painted with boat names told us many had waited here before us.

At 1830 hours we raised anchor and motored toward the rapids. We rounded the first corner to see Turret Rock surrounded by calm seas. We approached the Rock at three minutes before the flood.

The water was smooth. As we passed the

rock at exactly 1857 hours, water streamed by the island and we picked up speed. I barely had time to snap photos before we were through. We turned north into Belize Inlet and I looked back at Turret Island, still surrounded by flat water. Steve and I looked at each other and laughed. A dangerous passage had been uneventful, the way it should be.

We’d made it through. Now we had a week to explore the secluded sounds and inlets of the Belize-Seymour Inlet area.

GRAND VISTAS AND QUIET ANCHORAGES: ALISON AND NUGENT SOUNDS As we motored east up the long eastwest arm of Belize Inlet the next day, I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were climbing toward the mountains ahead. At the entrance to Alison Sound, a half dome towered over the inlet. Below it bare black cliffs lined the shore. We turned north and followed a passage into the Sound past

more black cliffs. But we were looking for light-colored cliffs, the site of a native pictograph reported to be in this area.

“There, just above that small tree,” said Steve, pointing to a spot about 20 feet up. A plain drawing in red ochre of six small canoes facing one large one, all clear and bright as if recently painted, was

Breathtaking views await at Alison Sound.

visible on the cliff. Archaeologists believe that this pictograph depicts an attack by Nakwaktoks, the local First Nation, on a trading ship. Another pictograph, in Belize Inlet, may depict a subsequent reprisal by traders in 1862.

We continued on to the end of Alison Sound where we dropped anchor off the mouth of Waump Creek with a view of verdant green marshes, forested hills, and rock bluffs. Later that afternoon, we took the dinghy up the creek. Waterlogged stumps crowned with flowers stuck above the water like little islands. It was comparable to cruising in a lake.

Rain persuaded us to stay two nights in Alison Sound. We puttered around the boat, enjoying the view from our port lights. We left in clearing fog and motored into Nugent Sound, where we anchored off Nugent Creek. Old pilings topped with ferns and flowers marked the site of a cannery that operated here in the early 1900s. A trail leading along the creek gave us a pleasant hike through a second-growth forest.

CRUISING IN LOGGING TERRITORY: FREDERICK SOUND & SEYMOUR INLET Osprey pushed easily through a oneand-a-half-knot current in Eclipse Passage into Frederick Sound. We’d planned to anchor in Salmon Arm, extolled for its views of high peaks and the grassy banks of the Tatz River. But as we approached the arm’s entrance, a puff of dirt arose from the shore, followed seconds later by a boom. A logging company was blasting roads. We turned Osprey south, away from Salmon Arm, to the head of Frederick Sound.

Steep cliffs towered above us as we wound our way to Frederick Sound’s head and its protected basin. An almost bare rock dome rose on one side, forested hills on another. A green marsh spread out at the Sound’s head. The Hamiltons’ guide noted a logging camp there, but the only evidence of it was a large pile of slash, a row of abandoned fuel barrels, and a small floating dock. It wasn’t pristine but was still beautiful, and we had a dinghy dock all to ourselves. We spent two nights there enjoying the warmth of a sun-heated cove and hiking on a logging road.

In our week of cruising in Seymour and Belize inlets, we saw many reminders that we were in logging country. In Belize

The calm waters of Salmon Arm aren’t always like this - logging companies can be blasting roads at almost any time, and Osprey could not anchor there on this trip.

Inlet we passed a tugboat assembling a large log boom. Entering Mereworth Sound, we passed an old-fashioned logging camp with rows of floating homes for loggers and their families. Logging companies once towed these from one logging site to another. A less organized version of a logging camp occupied the shores of Strachan Bay: brightly colored float homes and dilapidated trailers on floats tucked into nooks along the shore.

And just about everywhere we went we passed barges for workers’ housing, equipment on the shore, and log skids on the beach.

Logging camps park in one spot for a few years, then move on. No guidebook can keep up with their movements. Boaters must be prepared to share an anchorage or move on. Seymour and Belize inlets are part of the Great Bear Rainforest, but are designated Timber Supply Areas subject to ecosystem-based management.

Only the Waump Creek watershed is protected from harvest. Small clear cuts dot the hills and snakelike rows of deciduous trees mark old logging roads, but the inlets are still beautiful.

How a nearly century-old concept might transform sailing

By Chris Couch

80 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2017

I park my car at Kenmore Air’s South Lake Union terminal, and my friend (who we will call Teresa) and I walk with our overnight bags to Chandlers Cove. It is 0700 hours on a Wednesday morning. I got a call the previous Saturday from a client asking if I could reposition his 62’ Tollycraft from Lake Union to Roche Harbor. I told him

I

I would be happy to as soon as I found some suitable weather. #1: The Weather Window I immediately went to the National Weather Service Seattle website to look ahead (weather.gov/sew). The National Weather Service forecasts out five days.

The inland waters of the Pacific North-

I decided to wait and continue to watch the forecast. #2: Do Your Homework

By Monday, the forecast for Wednesday was good for Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands, five to 15 knots for both areas, but the Strait of Juan de Fuca was still forecast to be at 20 to 30 knots from the west. I know from experience that this would produce a chop of at least three to five feet. With high terrain on both sides, the Strait of Juan de Fuca is a natural wind tunnel as is the Strait of Georgia, with Vancouver Island on one side and the mainland on the other. Both bodies of water are known for their high winds.

We are lucky here in Washington because we have a protected option that lets us get around the Strait of Juan de Fuca when it experiences high winds.

This option is the Swinomish Slough, connecting Skagit Bay with Padilla Bay, which allows us to completely circumnavigate the Strait. I routinely run into boaters who have yet to discover the Swinomish Slough option that has the bonus of running through the charming town of La Conner. #3: MAKE A PLAN Running from Shilshole Bay Marina directly to Roche Harbor via Port Townsend and crossing the Strait of Juan de Fuca is 68 nautical miles. At ten knots, including the Ballard Locks for those moored on Lake Washington, the route can be done in about eight hours or so or on a good day.

Being the cautious and prudent mariner, however, I opt to go the inside route for my delivery; up the east side of Whidbey Island, past La Conner through the Swinomish Slough, and then west through the islands to Roche Harbor.

The Tollycraft, at least this particular vessel, cruises best at 10 knots. From South Lake Union to Shilshole Bay Marina through the Ballard Locks is at least one hour. Shilshole to the south entrance of the Swinomish Slough is 46 nautical miles or about four and a half hours. It’s a good hour through the slough, mostly a no-wake zone. From the north entrance up to Anacortes and then across to Roche Harbor is 30 nautical miles or about three hours and then about 30 minutes to the marina secured to the dock. All told, taking the scenic route past La Conner would take at least 10 hours. That would make for a pretty long day and too late to catch a Kenmore Air flight back. I opt for an easier trip, staying the night in La Conner and completing the trip in two days instead.

I check the forecast weather through the National Weather Service every day leading up to my Wednesday morning departure. My last check was earlier this morning just before we left to make sure the forecast had not changed. With our two mountain ranges and varied topography, we have many microclimates in the Pacific Northwest.

It is a very difficult area to forecast, and it is not uncommon for winds to change at the last minute. I also paid the boat a visit over the weekend. I started up both engines and gensets, plus exercised the controls and thrusters to ensure everything was operating properly. I verified the amount of fuel onboard. This trip will be approximately 10 hours at 10 knots, burning about 17 gallons per hour. That is 170 gallons of required fuel. I want at least 200 gallons onboard when I arrive, so I need at least 400 gallons onboard before taking off.

With a good forecast ahead for the next two days, my assistant and I step

The calm Swinomish Slough through La Conner can be very helpful on trips up through Puget Sound - it’s protected, calm, and has a great place to stop built in.

west is divided into six different areas: West, Central, and Eastern Straits of Juan de Fuca, Northern Inland waters including the San Juan Islands, Admiralty Inlet and Puget Sound, and Hood Canal. It was obvious at first glance that the next three days would be very windy with two separate systems coming ashore.

Wednesday, however, looked promising.

Proper trip planning translates to fair weather and views.

onto the boat in Chandler’s Cove and begin preparing her for departure. #4: Pre-Launch Checklist First thing, I go to the AC power and DC power breaker panels, turning on the heads, freshwater pump, and any interior lights I may need. Pieces of equipment that can run on their own, like the heads and water pumps, should be left off when the boat is unattended. Next I hit the breakers for all electronics, stabilizers, and thrusters. My next task is to start a generator, switch from shore power, and bring in the shore power cord. I then turn on all electronics that I will use and ensure everything is running. I don’t want to be trying to set up screens and the like while I am focused on navigating Lake Union and the Ship Canal. Once I feel the boat is ready to go, I start the main engines and let them warm up for a few minutes.

The boat is tied up starboard side to the dock with a 10 knot off-dock wind. I determine that we can safely remove the spring lines first. I instruct Teresa to untie the bow line first, throw it onboard, and move aft to take the stern line. I hold the bow to the dock with the bow thruster while she unties the stern line and steps onboard. With an “all clear” from her, we are on our way. #5: execute & Assess Turning to the northwest to head across Lake Union, I put Teresa on the helm so that I can get set up for the Ballard Locks.

Heading outbound, I know that we will more than likely be on the starboard side, whether it is the small or large lock. I bring the fenders on the starboard side from the waters edge up to protect the outermost part of the boat. I then set a couple of fenders on the port side just in case. I rig the bow and stern lines for both sides for the small locks and set out my 50-foot lines fore and aft for the large locks just in case that is where

we end up. One should be prepared to be directed into either the small or large locks.

Leaving early on a Wednesday morning has paid off. Five minutes after arriving at the Ballard Locks, I get the green light for the small lock. I instruct Teresa to standby the aft line as we enter the chamber. The lock attendant gives me the “right there is good captain” and I bring her to a full stop.

Teresa puts her line around the bollard on the top of the sleeve and makes it fast to the boats cleat. I run forward and do the same with the bow line.

A vessel acts like a weather vane.

All the boat’s draft, rudders, and running gear are aft. It is much easier to back into the wind and current than with the bow to the wind and current.

On the way down I tell Teresa that the lock attendant will tell her when to remove the line. I will do the bow line; which will be first once the gate has opened. As we move out of the locks, I feel a sense of relief that the step has been completed. Even I have a little anxiety when it comes to the Locks. Now I can look forward to the rest of the trip.

With the lines and fenders up on deck, we idle out of the channel and past Shilshole Bay Marina. After passing the Sea Buoy, I turn her to the north. I use my chart plotter and a predictor line that I set up to steady the vessel on a course that is parallel to the edge of the outbound vessel traffic lane. The predictor line is a line that extends from a vessel depicted on the chart plotter. This line represents one’s Course Over the Ground or COG.

Nearing the end of this particular journey, looking out over the instruments into a setting sun not far from Roche Harbor.

82 NORTHWEST YACHTING || JUNE 2017

The length of the line is usually a factor of time, and I typically use 30 minutes. The predictor line is probably my most useful tool and feature of the chart plotter. If I want to navigate the vessel to a particular point on the chart or parallel a particular feature, I use the predictor line to do so.

Once we are settled on our initial course northbound in the Sound, I settle into my transit routine. It doesn’t matter whether I am in Puget Sound or 20 nautical miles offshore, my underway watch routine is the same. I monitor my navigation to en-

sure that we are on track or on the proper heading. I scan the water to look for debris or other hazards, like traffic. I do a quick scan of the engine instruments every few minutes and take a peek into the engine room every few hours, always looking, listening, and smelling for anything that may be out of the ordinary. Most of the issues I have found in the past have been through smell. Every liquid on board the boat has its own particular smell, and learning not only how your boat sounds, but how she smells, can be helpful.

After about 30 minutes into our journey, we approach Point Wells, just south of Edmonds. I start looking ahead at where the two ferries on the Edmonds-Kingston ferry run are and what they are doing. I can see that there is one docked in Edmonds.

As I approach, I watch very carefully for it to depart and review the rules of the road in my head. If she pulls out ahead of me, crossing from right to left, I am the give-way vessel and must alter course to starboard and pass behind her. And wouldn’t you know it, just as I am off the marina, she sounds her whistle and starts to pull out. Being this close to her and the beach, I opt to just slow down for a few minutes to let her pass in front of me.

An hour past Edmonds, we pass the Clinton-Mukilteo ferry run without any encounters and continue up Possession Sound towards La Conner. As we approach Skagit Bay, I am careful to stay close to the Whidbey Island side to keep a series of red

buoys on my starboard side. These buoys mark the channel that you follow to the south entrance of the Swinomish Slough.

The south entrance to the Slough is very well-marked by red and green buoys in a range that keeps you in the center of the channel. As I make my turn into the channel, I start to think about the guest dock and what side we will tie up on. The thing about the Swinomish Slough is there is always a current running either north or south. A vessel acts like a weather vane.

All the boat’s draft, rudders, and running gear are aft. It is much easier to back into the wind and current than with the bow to the wind and current.

As the channel makes its first turn to the north just south of La Conner, I determine that the current is flowing south. The guest moorage’s long side runs parallel to the channel. This means turning around, putting my stern to the current, and tying up port side. I kindly ask Teresa to start moving fenders and lines to the port side.

Arriving at the guest moorage, I pick a suitable open stretch of dock and turn the boat around to face south with my stern to the current. I pick a reference point on the dock that is straight over from where I am standing in the pilot house. Stemming (aka, holding position against) the current and holding that reference point, I angle the stern slightly towards the dock. This has the effect of using the current to slowly move me towards the dock. Teresa stands by on the swim step with the stern line in hand. As I get to within a few feet of the dock, I flatten out my approach and allow the boat to gently meet the dock. Teresa steps off and immediately gets the stern line secured. Because the boat is now tending down current on the stern line, she can walk up, take the bow line and secure it as well. Had we tried to moor bow to the current, the boat would have been very difficult to control. #6: Rinse, Repeat It’s about 1430 hours, the boat is plugged in and everything shut down.

The next National Weather Service forecast will be issued at 1500 hours. The forecasts are issued four times a day at 0300, 0900, 1500, and 2100 hours. I review the next day’s plan. It is 30 minutes to the north

end of the Slough and then three hours at 10 knots to Roche Harbor. If I leave at 0800 hours tomorrow morning; I should be there and tied up by noon. Plenty of time to buy my lovely assistant lunch and catch Kenmore Air back to Seattle.

At 0730 hours the next morning the genset and engines are running, the shore cord is stowed, and the electronics fired up. The morning forecast for the San Juan Islands has not changed from last night’s,with winds from the northwest at ten knots. The current in the slough is now flowing from the south, right on my bow.

This will be a bit trickier since as soon as the bow line comes off, the current will want to pull the bow. Teresa and I remove both spring lines, leaving just the bow and stern lines. As I hold the bow to the dock with the bow thruster, Teresa quickly removes the bow line and throws it onboard. Running aft, she takes the stern line, steps onboard, and gives me a loud, “Clear!”

I thrust the bow to the starboard and give the starboard engine a shot ahead to push my stern out and we are off. Moving out into the middle of the channel, I split the engines, spin her around in place, and we are on our way to Roche Harbor.

Whether your trip is 45 nautical miles, 450, or 4,500, proper planning, preparation, and sound safe decision making with regards to the weather is key to your safe and enjoyable boating.

RACING SHEET

Is it summer yet?

Words: Doug Hansen // Photos: Sean Trew With rainy days and cold winds pestering much of the spring racing, many sailors around Seattle continue to wonder if the T-shirt racing of years past will ever come. Despite the troublesome conditions, locals are sticking it out, and as multiple weeknight evening series start up, it’s clear the Northwest produces some hearty folks.

Kicking things off with a bang, the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club’s now legendary Ballard Cup set the bar high with over 60 boats registered for racing every Monday night. With a simple course and a one race per night format, the race lets the whole spectrum

of sailors have a good time.

Whether you want to hike hard and press the rocky shore of the Shilshole Bay Marina breakwater, or relax and sail the course with good friends and cocktails, all are welcome.

In something of contrast to the “come as you are” Ballard Cup, the Corinthian Yacht Club Tuesday night series on Lake Washington is anything but casual. Over 20 one-design J/24’s line up each week, and with nationally ranked skippers squaring off, close racing and start line strategy is the name of the game. With the fleet preparing for the National Championships, hosted by Corinthian Yacht Club

Seattle and held out of Shilshole Bay Marina, skippers and crews push for every inch all the way around the racecourse. The National Championship, May 17-21, brings the best sailors in the nation together to duke it out on Puget Sound.

Wednesday nights on Lake Washington belong to the Thistles, San Juan 24’s, and Thunder Birds, all turning out strong this year. Over 25 boats out on the water makes for some complicated work for the race committee as the boats vary in speed depending on the conditions.

Out on the cold waters of Puget Sound, Corinthian Yacht Club has started up the Wednesday

night keelboat racing. The constantly growing J/105’s take the award for best attendance with 11 boats on the line every week. The rest of the fleets range from the very competitive and constantly growing J/80 one design class to the 40-foot PHRF fleet that boasts some impressive boats such as Olympic medalist Bill Buchan’s Peterson 44 Sachem.

Opening week of racing brought good showings from all fleets and sunshine for the first time I can remember in months. Shifty winds made for tricky racing on a gusty easterly wind, and a short course made playing the shifts and watching for traffic key to sailing a clean race.

Wrapping up the spring weekly series is the Thursday night dinghy fleet, taking to the water with little more than wetsuits and smiles between them and the cold water. Numbers for this night are light early in the season without a doubt thanks to the high winds and thunderstorms moving through, but so far several Lasers and RS Aero’s managed to put points on the board.

Long Course

While all the weekly series keep most racers busy, weekend big boat racing is still in full swing.

The Seattle Yacht Club Tri-Island Series kicked off with the Protection Island Race. Building breeze and favorable tides set the stage for a lightning fast race. With 19 boats sailing the long course and 19 racing the short course there was plenty of competition in each fleet.

Starting with a light air kite run it was a game of current vs. wind as the fleet made their way north to the Straight of Juan De Fuca. As boats neared Port Townsend, the wind began to build and the boats sailing with the current made record time to the island, the ORC big boats reaching close to 20 knots of boat speed. The wind built into the high 20s as the fleet worked its way upwind toward home. The current began to turn, giving everyone a push back down the Sound and built into massive eddies and tide rips, giving those in the right place at the right time a boost ahead of the competition. The race was the fastest that most people could remember, with the long course fleet finishing bell before sunset.

P RTS OF CALL Words & Photos: Norris Comer A visit to Langley, Washington in North Puget Sound is a dreamlike experience. The uninitiated newcomer will naturally gravitate to the inviting repurposed historic buildings and greenery near the waterfront as I did. “Spy A Whale, Ring the Bell” a sign prompts, posted over a well-used brassy tocsin. No doubt the bell is put to good use in the spring when the gray whales migrate through Saratoga Passage. To the east is a view of the snow-capped Cascade Mountains beyond Camano Island, while the rest of Langley awaits to the west. When I explored the town for the first time, I passed a pair of women earnestly discussing beekeeping in front of a backdrop of local coffee shops and art galleries.

“Have you found a queen yet?” one asked the other earnestly as they talked shop. I pressed inland to the green space near the Firehouse Glass Gallery where a garden of glass curiosities was on display. A herd of free ranging domestic rabbits emerged to graze among the glasswork as the setting sun bathed the place in a golden glow. I pinched myself. Surely, this is a dream? Welcome to Langley.

The town, tucked against the Saratoga Passage on the southeastern corner of Whidbey Island, is the third largest incorporated area on the island. For the sake of visitors and boaters, the downtown is the main draw. Langley is a good mix, half charming inns and tourist attractions and the other half a bona fide Puget Sound small town. The Langley Police Department shares the same building as the Langley City Hall, right next to the Langley Library, while bistros and boutiques catered to visitors bustle a stone’s throw away. Langley, thankfully, opted to repurpose the historic buildings of its downtown rather than demolish them. The area’s fascinating history is outlined in the many informative signs. Did you know that in 1919 Langley was the second town in the US to have an all-female administration? Rich nuggets such as these are worn like badges of honor in the streets.

The mooring balls and slips of the Port of South Whidbey Harbor at Langley will be the to-go option for day or overnight visits by boaters. One can cruise to Langley from either the north or south of Whidbey Island. A southern approach is a straightforward trip through Possession Sound, but one should mind the ferry that runs between Clinton (on Whidbey) and Mukilteo (on the mainland).

From the north, one will either navigate Deception Pass or the Swinomish Channel and then ply over Skagit Bay. Tides and local knowledge are important factors for either the pass or the channel, so please plan. A prudent skipper will not wing it with these two southerly routes.

Maritime Hub The saltiest cluster of businesses in Langley is a short walk up or down Wharf Street from the rest of the town. The hub includes the Port of South Whidbey Harbor at Langley, located on the water next to the small public Phil Simon Park beach. The port’s services will be of great use to boaters. The Whidbey Island Kayaking Company is just across the street for paddle sports fans. The attention-grabbing S-182 Abundance, an Ocean-class tug barge from the local Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, is often docked at the commercial dock to the north of the marina.

First Things First It isn’t a complete visit to Langley without the quintessential aimless stroll up and down 1st Street, the town’s waterfront drag.

Boutiques and art galleries housed in historic buildings dot the path, as well as many of the local eateries. The Clyde Theatre is an independent cinema on the walk that has been screening movies since its construction in 1937. Some more utilitarian offerings, such as the Star Store grocery and Whidbey Island Bank, may be in demand from cruisers passing by.

…Second is the Best?

Exploring 2nd Street, the other main artery of downtown Langley, is just as necessary as checking out 1st Street. Attractions like the Firehouse Glass Gallery, housed within a historic firehouse, and the cluster of local businesses of the Langley Village help define the mood. Small establishments like Sip N’ Paint (for those who like to drink wine and paint) and The Tipsy Gourmet high-end grocery store of Langley Village have an emphasis on the finer things in life. Keep an eye out for domestic bunnies.

Historical Musings The South Whidbey Historical Society Museum and the Langley Whale Center are right next to each other sandwiched between Melsen Alley and Anthes Avenue. The South Whidbey Historical Society collects, preserves, and presents information, stories, and artifacts of the area’s history within a quaint building. The museum is open on weekends, 1300 to 1600 hours. More info is available at southwhidbeyhistory.com. The Langley Whale Center opened in 2014 and is a project of the Orca Network, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of whales in the Pacific Northwest. The center has many excellent educational exhibits and collections. More information is available at the orcanetwork.org. The center is open to the public Thursday through Sunday, 1100 to 1700 hours.

Gastronomy There’s no shortage of great meals in Langley, no matter what time of day. If you’re looking for a hot breakfast to start the morning, complete with small-batch, in-house roasted coffee blends, the Useless Bay Café is a local icon. Sprinklz Ice Cream Parlor and Coffee Shop is across the street from the popular Village Pizzeria, a great combo for a group with kiddos in tow on a summer’s day. The Double Bluff Brewing Company and Ott & Murphy Wines have plenty of great libations for date night.

I visited the Prima Bistro for dinner during my last visit, and the experience was simply divine. The restaurant bills itself as serving “French-influenced Pacific Northwest eats.” Whatever it is, we need more of it in the world. The Monday plat du jour was a seafood bouillabaisse ($28), a culinary monument of Penn Cove mussels, clams, white fish, and fingerling potatoes. It was no surprise that they sold out of the dish shortly after my order. The word from their kitchen is that the lamb burger ($18.50) is also a winning option. If a menu with wild boar ragout entrees, wild Pacific octopus appetizers, and a whole rainbow of local wines intrigues you, Prima Bistro is a recommended stop.

ERIK BENTZEN

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”

—Benjamin Franklin

S ERIK BENTZEN Erik Bentzen has lived in Seattle since the early 1980s after moving down from British Columbia. He ran a boat repair yard in Lake Union from 1983 to 2005 before becoming a successful full-time boat surveyor. He lives and breathes the marine industry and loves to race sailboats in his spare time.

“My father was a Danish shipwright and I grew up in the wood shavings in his shop. You hear some guys say that kind of thing, but in my case, it’s very true,” says Bentzen. His father was also one of the first accredited marine surveyors in Canada in an age when surveyors were not widely used in the recreational boating sphere. The two of them worked together as travelling surveyors when Benzten grew up and would eke out some time in between gigs to catch up over lunch.

Seeing a boat, especially for a potential buyer, is often an emotional experience. The rose-colored sunset casts the deck in a flattering light and already the soul yearns for blue horizons and a full fuel tank. “Let’s just get it already!” one wants to shout.

Take a deep breath and heed conventional advice. Before you go any further, you’re going to want a professional marine surveyor to write up a report.

Marine surveyors have established themselves over the last few decades as integral components of the boat-buying process, largely with the increased presence of boat insurance companies in the recreational sphere.

Perhaps corporations, most of all, are inclined toward dispassionate analysis? Regardless, the marine surveyor’s job is to assess the true value and condition of a boat. No more, no less. The best surveyors seek the truth even as opposing forces, like overselling yacht brokers vs. under-offering boat buyers, are at odds around them. The ingredients for high stakes drama are a fact of life for the surveyor as large sums of money and the realization of lifelong dreams hinge on his or her every word.

For this month, we turned to Erik Bentzen, a locally based surveyor with over 35 years of

experience with his own successful surveying and consulting firm, for a pro’s look at the marine industry from his seasoned perspective. We joined him aboard a J boat that he had surveyed in the past with our questions.

Q: Can you outline the process that leads clients to you? Joe and Mary see a boat they want to buy and they realize they should get a survey…

The process is not complicated per say, but definitely a sort of dance. When you see a boat that you like, you say, “What do I want to do next?” The next step is for you to write up an offer for that boat that’s contingent upon a survey.

Some people buy a boat and try to do a survey after, and that’s not good at all. That situation makes my job not enjoyable, because nothing I can say will be good.

Q: Is that because there’s always something wrong?

Yes, there’s always something wrong. When I do a survey, I’m not looking at the great parts of a boat. I’m walking around and saying things like, “these are chaffed, so no heavy weather until they’re checked” or “the mast needs tuning” or “there’s grounding damage.” I’m concentrating on the deficiencies, so I’m not a cheerleader.

It’s important to note that, in all the transactions involved with a boat purchase, I’m the only person who is an advocate for the buyer.

Everybody has their roles, like the sellers who are selling the boat and trying to get that commission.

Mine is to provide the buyer with the truth about the boat’s worth.

Luckily, our area has a really great group of people who are all

fundamentally honest and you’ll usually get a square deal. Outside of our area, it is much different and more like a shark tank, like if you were going into a used car lot.

If you get a surveyor, then you’ve got an advocate. They will inspect the boat, usually in one day for a mid-sized boat. Then they will leave, and write up a report. The report is really the work product we offer. It’s a PDF document we have with a list of what is there, an inventory, and what kind of boat it is, what’s the HIN number, is it registered, is it documented, what engine does it have, and much more. You’d think that’s repetitive, but it’s part of the process. What are we looking at? The fundamental purpose of all of this is to see what you’re buying vs. what you think you’re buying. I’d hopefully be able to answer that.

Then I put a fair market value on the boat, based on what I think the boat is worth, after I complete the document. Then I go and look at comparable boats or sold boats.

I can hone into a comparable boat and come up with a fair market value. There’s always magnetic forces that try to pull me one way or another, but it’s my job to block them out and tell them what I truly think.

Q: Is there a lot of tension between you and brokers sometimes, like when they’re trying to sell a boat for a lot more than your fair market estimate?

Yes, brokers, use the words “deal killer” sometimes. I show up with the philosophy that, when I’m not surveying, I’m boating myself on the water.

I’m in the industry, living and breathing in the industry and

I know almost every player.

So I don’t enjoy going around hacking people’s boats apart, that’s not my idea of fun. But it’s necessary to see if there is a deficiency that affects the value, or it doesn’t meet industry standard, or it’s dangerous. There’s plenty of dangerous ones, fire hazards and the like.

Q: So if these boats are American Idol contestants, you’re kind of the Simon Cowell on the panel?

I suppose so, but I never tell a potential buyer not to buy a boat. I just state the facts. If it is really bad, I might say “well, you know, this is a bit of a project.”

I’d give many cues. How do you want to spend your time?

Do you want to spend a lot of time in a boatyard?

Q: What are the top three surveyor “cues” or diplomatic sayings that hint to stay away?

Ha! Other surveyors do it differently, and they might just tell you their thoughts. I view my role as saying “what you’re buying and what you thought you’re buying are two separate things. This all can be repaired, but is this how you want to spend your time?”

And of course, “it’s a project.”

Spending six months re-coring the deck can break anybody’s spirit.

Even though the broker may not be thrilled, it is what it is. I’m just seeing something and reporting back, I’m not inventing it. It can be uncomfortable.

With regards to smaller boats with auxiliary diesel engines, I would do a visual on the mechanical, but to go one level down, people get a full mechanical survey. Sometimes engines are half the value of the boat, so it can be important and worth it.

With completed survey in hand, the buyer has his or her cards to play at the negotiating table. You know what you’re buying, what it’s going to cost, etc.

The Catch-22 is that everything I write down becomes a condition of your survey. Buying an old boat and fixing it up is harder now because of the insurance companies, who drive everything here and are the reason why you must have a survey these days.

They will go “Great! You’ve got 30 days to repair the deficiencies on the survey.” This can mean an expensive, short-notice scramble to the boatyard.

One aspect of a survey to note is that whatever I look at does not require disassembly. Removing a wood panel into the bilge is fine, for example, but if there were screws to remove the deckhead to see the core, I would not do that. If a customer is present during the survey and wants to see something and has his own screwdriver, I will definitely look at it for him.

We can look at the boat and determine its condition within a day. But if you came down everyday for a week, your report would just keep growing. If I’m in the 80th percentile of what’s here and what’s going on, that means I’m going a great job. No person alive can do 100%. You can get close if you spend more time, but most people aren’t willing to compensate you for the time. It would be exhaustive. In certain cases, like bigger boats and racing boats, we’d do all of it in three days or so.

Q: Do people take you along on sea trials, or is that unusual?

I try to do the survey within the bulk of a day. If in the middle of the day there is a sea trial and we can fit it in without interrupting my other work, it’s part of the package and no problem.

Q: Is payment prorated with the value of the boat, or is it a flat fee?

For me it’s a flat fee. Some go by the hour, which may be the most fair but also the most expensive.

Some, like me, are by the flat fee by foot length plus expenses like

travel. I travel all over the country and internationally.

Q: Is there some prep a client should do to make your job easier?

Ideally, if you make access easy it’s helpful. Liveaboards are the hardest because they have all their possessions aboard. Sometimes I just want to look under the Vberth, but it can take 45 minutes to get all the stuff out of the way.

If it’s a race boat, the extensive sail inventory offloading can be timeconsuming, but I need to have an inventory of all the equipment.

Q:Is there value to the above waterline survey, or should clients get the boat onto the hard for a complete survey?

Well, let’s go back a little. There are a few types of surveys. There’s a pre-purchase survey, which has much of the same content as an insurance survey. Sometimes I Continued on Page 95

“Starfish!” I shouted, excited to see so many sea stars when the sea star wasting disease had almost decimated their populations in the Salish Sea. MORE RAPIDS: NENAHLMAI LAGOON ENTRANCE Lagoons in the SeymourBelize complex offer miles of quiet waters, separated from main inlets or sounds by narrow entrances and fast currents. Curious to explore at least one, we chose Nenahlmai Lagoon branching off Seymour Inlet. Both the Hamiltons and the Douglasses, authors of reliable guidebooks, had taken their boats through the Nenahlmai Narrows, and we thought we might be able to do that also. But one look at the raging narrows convinced us that even waiting for slack wasn’t safe enough for a deep draft sailboat, so we anchored and took the dinghy to explore.

The outboard roared as Steve put it up to full throttle, but the dinghy remained in place – the outboard was no match for the ebb pouring out through the narrows. Steve started to turn the dinghy to return to Osprey when I saw a riot of orange below the water’s edge. “Starfish!” I shouted, excited to see so many sea stars when the sea star wasting disease had almost decimated their populations in the Salish Sea. Steve gunned the outboard again and drove us as close to the shore as he dared. A thick band of orange sea stars lined the edge of the narrows, just above them ran a band of blue-black mussels. The mussels were feasting off the plankton

in the current, and the sea stars were feeding off the mussels.

While we photographed the starfish, the current slowed. We turned the dinghy and headed into the lagoon. Trees hung over the water only inches from the surface. Small islands dotted the shoreline and knobby hills rose behind it. The lagoon stretched several miles inland.

Bamford, McKinnon, and Whelakis lagoons branched from it. A small shallow draft cruising boat could venture in and have several days of exploration.

We returned to Osprey. Later that afternoon, we motored out of Nenahlmai and back into Seymour Inlet, heading toward Nakwakto and civilization. On our way toward the rapids, we passed several coves and bays suitable for anchoring. I wanted to call, “Wait! There’s more to see.” We would have to come back.

CURRENTS AND TIDES IN THE SEYMOUR-BELIZE AREA Tidal waters from Seymour and Belize Inlets, Nugent Sound, and numerous lagoons all drain through Nakwakto Rapids and then pour back in on the next tidal cycle. That’s a lot of water pushing through a narrow bottleneck oneway or the other four times a day. And what happens in the rapids doesn’t affect just the rapids but also Slingsby and Schooner channels leading from the rapids into Queen Charlotte Strait and the tides and currents in the inlets themselves.

Because of the time it takes for the water to exit Nakwakto Rapids, the times of high and low waters are two to three hours later inside Seymour and Belize inlets than outside. And the tidal range inside the inlets is less than outside: 2m (6.6 ft) in Belize Inlet, for example, compared to 3.7m (12.1ft) in Treadwell Bay in Slingsby Channel.

Volume 6 of the Canadian Tide and Current Tables covers this area. Nakwakto Rapids is a current station: you can read times of slack and maximum currents and current speed right off the table. You do have to add an hour for Daylight Savings Time.

Schooner and Slingsby channels, the entrance to Nenahlmai Lagoon, and Eclipse Narrows are all secondary current stations referenced to Nakwakto Rapids. The Tables also give you conversions for time and height of high and low waters for seven secondary tide ports in the Seymour and Belize Inlets area.

The Tide and Current Tables don’t answer all the questions a boater might have about the currents in the region. For example, they say nothing about currents in the NS-EW reach of Seymour Inlet adjacent to Nakwakto Rapids.

Logic told us that when the rapids are ebbing, currents in that reach should be flowing out toward the rapids and when the rapids are flooding, currents in the reach should be flooding in. We found the opposite as did some friends of our who had been there several years before.

We have learned to be cautious when using other than official Canadian Tables. We carry a tablet with a popular tide app. In checking this against the official tables, I was horrified to see its forecast for slack water at Nakwakto was sometimes as much as ten minutes off the official forecast. When slack lasts only six minutes, ten minutes can be the difference between an easy passage and a nail-biter. The app recommends, “when in doubt consult the official tide publications for your region.” That’s good advice when using any app or nonofficial publication.

We collect images with captions, and our staff selects the best submission. Each monthly winners will have the honor of seeing their pet photo and caption run in an upcoming issue of the magazine, and will also receive a Northwest Yachting care package.

We’re looking for the best combination of image and words, so grab your favorite fourlegged (or winged) crewmember, cast off the docking lines, and get creative with your camera and notepad. We also need high quality images for our large print publication, so please keep image resolution to above 300 DPI.

Make sure your toes are warm, drinks are cold, food is cooked and mind is at ease.

ASK THE EXPERTS

MEET THE Continued from Page 89

do just evaluation to settle disputes, as part of a closure of an estate, maybe a donation, but those can get you into trouble.

Then there’s the insurance renewal survey. If you shop for insurance, the first thing they’ll ask is for a current survey.

They want to know what they’re insuring. When you purchase without a survey, the insurance company will say that they need a survey. It’s the same amount of money, but the timing is off, to the disadvantage of the buyer.

Buy a boat contingent upon a survey, always. It never used

or under inflate a boat’s value because the insurance is going to go off what they think the boat is worth. With a survey, the owner has some good legs to stand on at the table.

If there is a list of deficiencies and you as my client don’t do anything about it, the survey can be used against you in the worst-case scenario, a loss.

Your boat catches on fire or something, and I’ve listed some problems with your AC system in the survey. Your insurance company is going to pull that report and try to connect the dots to pay less.

Rigging on any boat is in constant need of examination, maintenance, and replacement to be safe. Bentzen believes that surveys do not have a long shelf life, meaning a survey, even from as recent as a year ago, isn't going to be very indicative of a boat's current state.

Surveying is simply grading the boat; taking all the emotion out of it, even though people are financially incentivized to be emotional. to be like that, but over the years, I’ve noticed the quality and safety of boats has gone way up. If a boat hasn’t been surveyed in 15 years, I know right away.

On my own boat in my personal life, the insurance rates are less than they used to be.

The reason is because boats are better and the companies have to pay for fewer losses.

It never pays to over inflate

Surveying is simply grading the boat, taking all the emotion out of it, even though people are emotionally and financially incentivized to be emotional.

Q: Sounds like some high stakes drama! Are there any signs of a good or bad surveyor? There are a lot of business cards on marina bulletin boards…

You should be extremely cautious if a boat broker hands you a card and tells you to use

that surveyor. Why would he do that? If anything goes wrong, that broker is going to be somewhat liable for that recommendation.

You also get what you pay for. I shake my head whenever potential clients tell me they want an excellent surveyor but they want somebody cheaper.

It’s almost a deal breaker… it’s hard to be an advocate for someone like that.

Have questions about how the Classifieds work?

Look no further!

I placed my ad on January 5, why is it not in the January issue?

The deadline for ad submission is the 5th of each month for the NEXT month’s issue. In the above example, the January issue would have come out on January 1st. You cannot retroactively place an ad in a magazine that has already been printed.

What is the best way to ensure that my ad ends up in the issue I want it in?

If you refer to our “Place a Classified” page, you’ll see that the “Until it Sells” ad will run up to 6 months. However, if the boat sells BEFORE that six months is up, we will remove the ad per the client’s request. The benefit of an “Until it Sells” ad is that you’re paying only $100 more than a one month ad for up to five more months.

Thank you for reading!
