FROM THE HELM Publisher
The First Mayday
May is upon us and with it comes the Opening Day, let’sgo-outside energy of the late spring and early summer. Kids tear across the finish line to summer vacation and elders shed lingering seasonal depression blues. All make their Norris Comer way to the water, bright-eyed for that first sun-drenched summer boat ride. Don’t forget the ice for the cooler and remember the crab pots. The arrival of May triggered in me curiosity as to the term mayday. Why is this happy month associated with an internationally recognized signal for distress? Did something terrible happen on the high seas during a May long ago? Turns out, we have the French and early years of radio to thank. According to merriam-webster.com, mayday, as we know it, came into being in 1923. In those days, the heavy air traffic between England and France was adapting to a world departing Morse code. The “S” in SOS (…---…) was easy
Michelle Zeasman-Gibbon michelle@nwyachting.com

to get across via telegram, but more difficult to say over the radio or telephone. The Times (London) published an article February 2, 1923 that states, “Owing to the difficulty of distinguishing the letter ‘S’ by telephone, the international distress signal SOS will give place to the words ‘May-day’ the phonetic equivalent of ‘M’aidez,’, the French for ‘Help me.’” The Times article goes on to describe the first official use of mayday by a Royal Air Force flying-boat whose engines failed over the English Channel. The United States would officially adopt the term in 1927. A part of me is not surprised as I reflect on the other many contributions France has given the world, from their indominable professional sailors and production sailboat brands to the Statue of Liberty itself. I write this the day after the Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris was burned, a mayday of sorts for the whole world. Our hearts go out to all of France, and I know this sailor is not alone when he salutes that great country. Vive la France!

Opening Day for May Boating Season Kicks off on the Montlake Cut, and At Your Local Club By Eva Seelye
It’s time to get your boat off the hard, dust her off, shoo the resident gulls away, cast off, and cruise over to Lake Washington to ring in boating season with Seattle’s Opening Day! The Seattle Yacht Club (SYC) sponsored event will begin this legendary day anchored in Pacific Northwest boating culture with the commissioning ceremony on the Seattle Yacht Club’s lawn on Saturday, May 4. With the blast of the cannon, the Montlake Bridge will open, and the festivities will begin! Opening Day attendees can cheer on their favorite crew team during the Windermere Cup, lay out a blanket to watch a sailboat race, and take in the Grand Opening Day Parade as each decorated vessel takes you back in time with this year’s theme, “Boating Through the Decades.” The theme, as the Opening Day 2019 Trio (SYC’s Admiral, Vice Admiral, and Admiralette) explains, was inspired
by “our beautiful Northwest boats, our perfect waters, striking topography, and today’s technology.” What that means to participating boaters, well, we’ll just have to see! Opening Day is thought to have made its first splash as early as May of 1913, and if my math is correct, that means this tried and true, boat-loving, on-water celebration is at least 105 years old this month. The level of dedication, the simple joy of our nautical community, and the sheer attendance that allows this event to continue year after year is something to be proud of on its own. Claim your spot along the Montlake Cut to vessel-watch, waving at the hundreds of boats passing by, or try your luck on the log boom for a front row seat to the festivities and an afternoon of on-water shenanigans with fellow boat lovers. The log boom, provided by Seattle Yacht Club and the

University of Washington, will be installed on May 1 on the northern boundary of the parade route available on a first-come first-served basis, but those who donate in advance are assured a spot given they arrive prior to 0800 hours Saturday morning. It’s advised to put your captain skills to good use when maneuvering and mooring. Keep an eye on weather conditions and lend a helping hand to fellow boaters. Additional moorage is available on the south side of the parade route near Foster Island. If you’re out in the San Juan’s and a trip to the Cut might not be feasible or crowds aren’t your thing, hang around for the San Juan Island Yacht Club Opening Day Boat Parade to celebrate this glorious season island style. A Community Afloat will launch at 1415 hours on May 5, featuring the entire San Juan Island boating community from power and sail to human-powered vessels of all sizes and builds as well as the first public showing of two Lummi traveling canoes built by Spring Street students under the supervision of a Lummi elder. Each participating vessel will compete to win various “best of” awards that will be presented at the San Juan Yacht Club following the parade at 1630 hours. Whether you’re a boater, a water fiend, love a little competition, or you simply have nothing better to do that first Saturday in May, head to the Montlake Cut for a solid dose of all things nautical and to celebrate a tradition deeply rooted in our local culture. Catch you at the Cut!

Deceased Gray Washes into Elliott Bay By Eva Seelye

Adventuress Nears Rebirth By Evin Moore
The schooner Adventuress is nearing the completion of a ten-year, on-and-off restoration. The 106-year-old schooner has had every structural piece of wood replaced except for three, according to Blaise Holly, lead shipwright at Haven Boatworks, the Port Townsend, Washington, boatyard in charge of the restoration. “We’ve done every frame, every plank, the horn timber, the transom, the stern, we built both masts and did 5,400 linear feet of old-growth Douglas Fir decking,” said Holly in an interview with the Peninsula Daily News. The restoration of the 133-foot Adventuress has taken a decade because work could only be completed during the off-season; she
has continued to serve as a learning platform during the boating season. The Adventuress is owned by the nonprofit Sound Experience, who employs the tallship to introduce kids and adults to the area’s marine environment and nautical heritage. The restoration cost about $1.5 million, with approximately $400,000 coming from the state, as the Adventuress is a National Historic Landmark, and the rest coming from donations by foundations and individuals. Catherine Collins, the executive director of Sound Experience praised the work of Haven Boatworks, saying they have worked on the Adventuress nearly every winter for the past ten years, logging over 10,000 hours. Volunteer
crews also put in hundreds of hours of work on the restoration project. The restoration should keep the schooner on the water for another 50 years, given it receives the regular maintenance it requires. The project allows Sound Experience to continue its mission to encourage kids to get out on the water. “There aren’t a lot of ways to get kids on the water these days,” said Collins. “A lot of kids are within a stone’s throw of the water, but never have any relationship with it — and we change that on the Adventuress.” The Adventuress is back in the water now and will return to Port Townsend for the Wooden Boat Festival on September 6-8.
A 39-foot-deceased gray whale washed into Elliott Bay last month, bringing the sad total to six stranded gray whales in Washington so far this year. The male juvenile whale was towed from the Coast Guard Pier toward Whidbey Island where Cascadia Research Collective scientists performed a necropsy to identify the cause of death. They found no signs of trauma, but the gray was in poor condition, as per the initial finding of the necropsy, with no food contents in the whale’s stomach. Michael Milstein, NOAA Fisheries spokesperson, said the whale appeared skinny.
It hasn't been a great year for Grey Whales, though the one picture here is not local.
Skinny whales have been common as of late, with almost half of the individual whales in the Baja lagoons reported as skinny and malnourished; San Francisco also reported thin whales and one of the six stranded Washington whales was found to be emaciated after its necropsy. The exact cause of malnourished whales is not known, but is thought to be disease, lack of food from overfishing, climate related changes to fish populations, or a combination of factors.

The Annapolis Book of Seamanship, every boater's book By Greg Van Belle
Your wealth management plan shouldn't be uncharted, and your boat should be a part of it.
The financial advisor for boaters and marine industry leaders.
learn more at boylegroup.com/marine
TBG Financial, LLC dba The Boyle Group Wealth Management is a registered investment advisor in the State of Washington and certain other states.
The Annapolis Book of Seamanship should be on every boater’s bookshelf and publicly displayed at home as a conversation piece, and it should have an esteemed place onboard as well. There is not another book that covers every aspect of boat handling, rules, and regulations as clearly and completely as The Annapolis Book of Seamanship by John Rousmaniere. The fourth edition of the book has been completely updated, with new information on equipment, electronics, navigation, and onboard safety. Reviewers of this book heap praise and hyperbole on it, claiming it to be the “definitive source” for nautical information. It is hard to disagree. My previous copies of The Annapolis Book of Seamanship are dog-eared and coffee-stained. They have moved from boat to boat and have spent years on my coffee table. My kids learned to navigate, read charts, and handle dock lines by studying Rousmaniere’s text. Before our last overnight passage, I pulled out the book to review lighting rules so I could more easily identify any ships we might encounter in the night. And for a reference book, I have to say, I read Annapolis for pleasure quite often. It is very well written and it has a similar effect cruising guides have on me. When I can’t be on the water, I can read about storm tactics or docking to stay fresh on technique. I can brush up on regulations and
navigation, and it helps me escape into a nice nautical state of mind. More than just a reference book, Rousmaniere also includes helpful checklists and appendices that are incredibly useful onboard. Maintenance checklists, information about US Coast Guard required equipment, and even material about boating with children make this a pretty indispensable text. When non-boaters are onboard with us, I will often hand them this book so they can learn a bit about nautical terms and onboard equipment. It is simply hard to overstate how valuable this book is. Perhaps the best thing about The Annapolis Book of Seamanship is its insistence on tradition and history. The text is updated, of course, but it emphasizes tried and true piloting and navigation skills. While modern boats allow just about anyone to jump onboard, turn the key, and power their way around using GPS and cell phones, most of us embrace the more traditional aspects of boating and even take pride in doing things the right way. It is important, even today, to be able to read a paper chart and plot your position accurately. Navigating by dead reckoning may be a lost art form, but it is an important one. If you don’t have a copy of The Annapolis Book of Seamanship onboard, or if you have an old edition, now is the time to pick up the updated fourth edition. It belongs on your bookshelf. About $30-$40 at your local book store.

Ballard's Nordic Museum Gets National Recognition By Eva Seelye
The United States Senate recently passed a bill that was driven by U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash) to give the Nordic Museum national recognition as part of the Natural Resources Management Act. Recently approved by the House of Representatives and signed by President Trump, the Act also permanently authorizes the Land and Water Conservation Fund; there’s also legislation for restoring the Yakima River Basin, new wildfire fighting technology through drone use and GPS, improving volcano monitoring systems, as well as adding five new national monuments and designating 1.5 million acres as the Pacific Northwest’s very first National Heritage Area from Ellensburg to Seattle, Washington, along I-90. Senator Cantwell said in a statement that “the Nordic Museum is a capstone of a long story about Nordic heritage in Seattle.” It’s located in the early Nordic settlement of Ballard and is the only U.S. museum that showcases 12,000 years of Nordic influence, impact, and values focused on Nordic immigrants from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and more. The designation is to preserve and educate Nordic art, culture, and history, and to recognize the museum’s work. Cantwell states, “Establishing the National Nordic Museum will help support local tourism and drive economic development as well as help further preserve our region’s Nordic history, and maritime and fishing heritage.” CEO of the Nordic Museum Eric Nelson appreciates, “the work that Senator Cantwell and the entire Washington State delegation have done to make this national designation possible.” This designation, explains Nelson, will be a big boost for Ballard tourism and will help the museum generate support from the private sector. He continues, “This national designation does not require any taxpayer dol-
lars, but it will help us to reach more people and build stronger economic and cultural bonds between the Nordic region and the United States, particularly here in Washington State where one out of every eight residents claims Nordic heritage.”

Designed by Bill Tripp and beautifully constructed by Baltic Yachts of Finland, Strathisla is a true racer cruiser – capable of both racing and comfortable cruising. On her launch, naval architect Robert Perry commented, “This is a touring sports car, like the new Jag convertible. It will give you the impression you are cruising on a thoroughbred.” Her sleek hull lines carry on Baltic’s heritage of sleek and stylish yachts. Her hull is constructed of Kevlar over balsa core with epoxy resin using vacuum bagging to provide the strongest and lightest possible structure. But her modern and high tech construction techniques don’t tell the whole story, as Strathisla features all the comforts of a heavier luxury yacht, including a beautiful teak deck, carbon fiber fiber furling boom, electric mainsheet and halyard winches, hydronic diesel heat, watermaker, carbon fiber gangway, retracting anchor roller and full B&G electronics package.

U.S. Coast Guard Warns Against False Mayday Calls By Eva Seelye

In mid-March, the U.S. Coast Guard received two Mayday calls that are believed to be false; one from Whidbey Island and the other from Everett Marina. The calls are thought to be uncorrelated. They’d like to remind individuals that false mayday calls not only “waste valuable time and resources, but more importantly it puts responding personnel in danger and can interfere with legitimate search and rescue cases,” said Lt.

It’s the perfect venue for Race Week’s new home.” Rathkopf hopes to grow Point Roberts Race Week by enticing sailors from Canada.

Come 2020, Whidbey Island Race Week will be rechristened Point Roberts Race Week in honor of its new location in Point Roberts, Washington. Organizers envision Race Week becoming the largest sailboat racing event on the West Coast, with racers from the U.S. and Canada participating in big boat and dinghy racing. Point Roberts Race Week in 2020 will be held Monday, July 13, through Friday, July 17, allowing the bookend weekends for boat deliveries and returns “Point Roberts has everything we need to host a world-class destination regatta,” says Schelleen Rathkopf, event producer
Rathkopf, as it would simplify international racing. Organizers have been spreading the word about the event in the yacht clubs of Vancouver, and Rathkopf is looking to bring in a race officer with experience running races for Vancouver fleets. She’s also planning youth events and hopes to tie in a US National Sailing Championship during the week. Point Roberts is a small seaside community of just 4.9 square miles overlooking the Strait of Georgia. It is home to a protected 920-slip marina that can easily handle the influx of boats during Race Week. “This venue will allow Race Week to grow to its

The marina can handle the influx of 200 plus boats, including the Transpac 52s – even at a negative tide,” said Rathkopf. The marina hosts a 35-ton travel lift, a 3,000-pound dinghy lift, a fullservice chandlery, and mechanic shop on site. For the fi rst Point Roberts Race Week in 2020 there will be three race circles for big boats, dinghies, and cruising class, each with its own US Sailing certified pro and committee. The cruising class will be for participants who want to enjoy one casual distance race per day. Awards will be presented to the top three finishers in each class. Traditional Whidbey Island Race Week awards will also be carried over, like the Philip Wise Sportsmanship Award for a crew exhibiting exemplary sportsmanship and the Molly Kool Cup Award that recognizes the achievement of a female skipper. Point Roberts was suggested by several Race Week participants, including 2018 overall winner David Jackson. Organizers are excited to secure Point Roberts and Theresa Coe, General Manager of the Point Roberts Marina, is excited to host the event: “Our location, open water immediately adjacent to the harbor entrance and fantastic spectator viewing locations make this venue great for the racers as well as families and sport enthusiasts alike.” Big things are in the future for this race, but enjoy the present and attend the final Whidbey Island Race Week this year from July 23-27.

Grilled Storm Tossed Sour By Eva Seelye
Nothing says spring is in the air quite like a BBQ, and our friends at Fremont Mischief Distillery created a cocktail with those sweet, smokey vibes in mind. Mischeif’s artist and supreme sailor Jill Carter designed the Grilled Storm Tossed Sour while sailing the South Sound. It’s made with Mischeif’s Storm Tossed Rye Whiskey with its intense salty profile, a hint of rosemary, some egg white for fluff, and the light, smoky flavor of grilled lemons for a cocktail that’ll add that extra little somethin’ to any cockpit grill out. Their Storm Tossed Whiskey has famously been aged in barrels aboard commercial crabbing vessels from the hit reality TV show Deadliest Catch.
Make the Drink
Rosemary Simple Syrup
Directions: Cut lemons in half, dip in rosemary and white sugar mix, and grill on a low temp face down for 15 minutes before flipping until they’re charred. Squeeze all juice into cocktail and preserve a lemon for garnish. For the syrup, grill ingredients with ¾ cup water for smoky flavor. Strain rosemary and let cool. To build the cocktail, add ingredients and shake without ice (dry shake). Then add ice and shake again. Pour everything into a rocks glass, garnish with grilled lemon and rosemary.
• 3⁄4 cup sugar • A handful of fresh chopped rosemary

Tariffs Concern and Excite Okanagan’s Marine Business Owners By Eva Seelye
Concerned Okanagan citizens are speaking out about the imposed tariffs between the United States and Canada, worried that many of their smaller local dealers will go under because of the added costs of imported goods
related to the marine industry. Darell Wiley, Vice President of Operations and General Manager at Dockside Marine Centre in West Kelowna, British Columbia, explains that many dealers pay an added inventory cost on ves-

sels brought in from the U.S. He continues, “we have to reduce the number of boats that we have ordered for 2019, because we’re deeply concerned about how many we will sell with an added price tag on them.”

Wiley goes on to say that Canadian boat manufacturers and dealers are in short supply, which makes replacing their U.S. inventory difficult. “I think most dealers will have to absorb the costs [of the new tariff],” and “smaller retailers are giving up,” many of which aren’t pursuing new boat sales anymore, he said. However, according to Wiley, there are other factors besides the tariffs that play into diminishing marine businesses, such as pipeline disputes between B.C. and Alberta, the Albertan economy, B.C.’s new speculation tax, and smoke from wildfires. He said there are “some headwinds and as a consequence, most of the industry has been lagging in sales.” On the bright side, a select few businesses are using these tariffs as a business opportunity for their local companies. It gives them “an excellent opportunity to promote a Canadian-built product,” explains Brian Milligan, director of sales and marketing at Campion Marine in Kelowna, B.C. He continues, “When the majority of the market has boats that they’re selling that are American-made, it gives us an opportunity to grab some market-share based on a price differential.” Milligan said they nearly doubled their sales at a January boat show in Toronto from last year. To him, it’s “great news,” but to others, the tariffs are a lurking offshore storm.

Left: Mercury Marine and Raymarine's Boston Whaler testbed at the Miami Int'l Boat Show. Below: The system's "virtual bumper."
Smart Docking Aboard Soon? By Alex Kwanten
“Nowadays, if you get in a car that doesn’t have a backup camera, you notice,” says Dan Balogh, Director of Electronics & Software engineering at Mercury Marine. The drive assistance functionalities people are becoming used to in their cars – self-parking, lane departure sensors, adaptive cruise control, Balogh says, will soon have them asking for similar functionality in their boats. Self-parking cars have been around for a decade, but haven’t really taken off – the systems can be slow and most drivers feel confident parking their own car. But even experienced boaters often wish it were easier to park a vessel –one of a boater’s most stressful tasks. Mercury Marine, Raymarine, and Volvo Penta are all working on translating the self-parking car into the self-docking boat. During last year’s Volvo Ocean Race stopover in Goteborg, Sweden, Volvo-Penta displayed a prototype self-docking system aboard a 68-foot Azimut equipped with Volvo’s existing technology.
This year, Mercury Marine and Raymarine teamed up to display a working prototype, which nonprofessional captains could test at the Miami Boat Show, that brings similar functionality to outboard-powered boats, driven through Mercury Marine’s existing Joystick docking systems. The chosen boat, a Boston Whaler 330 Outrage, was fitted with five Raymarine Stereovision cameras feeding visual and 3D distance data into both Raymarine’s new DockSense system (displayed on the boat’s helm) to help the driver see all surroundings; and into Mercury Marine’s Joystick Piloting for Outboards (JPO) system for control. The display shows a realistic readout of surrounding objects much like a radar screen, and surrounds the displayed boat with a 3-foot “virtual bumper.” Within that bumper, the JPO

system will automatically correct for propwash and detected movement for a drama-free docking experience, with no overcorrections or near-misses. “The system is designed to hold position or a determined path, so if a wake or some other force pushes the boat too strongly, it counteracts that with microinputs from the throttles,” says Balogh. That can result in the boat holding a steady, stopped position even in current, but the system’s inputs are gradual. “Where a human might be distracted and not notice a pylon until it’s two feet away and then dramatically correct,” Balogh says, “The system sees everything around the boat, including that pylon 20 feet away and automatically slows to keep away, even if there is momentum. It just gradually comes to a rest and doesn’t hit the pylon – a seam-
less experience.” Right now, the system is only a prototype. “We started with a center console boat with easy sightlines,” says Balogh, “But the idea is to scale up this concept to larger boats like trawlers where it’s much harder to be aware of all your surroundings.” The system setup is also designed to be flexible. The prototype was fitted with five separate sensors, but different types of boats may require more or fewer depending on size. The same sensors that allow for this seamless docking and position holding are also likely a harbinger of additional functions, such as better autopilots that can adapt to obstacles and different conditions, Balogh says. There isn’t a timeline for a production version of the system, but Balogh says that the same relatively fast strides that have brought semi-autonomous functions to cars will bring these same systems to production boats by 2021-2022. “It was great to demonstrate the proof of concept. We wanted to gauge reaction and get a feel for how potential customers would react to it,” he says. “Now we’re in the production engineering phase.”

Ethanol Mislabeling Confuses Consumers By Eva Seelye
According to a survey by the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), many Americans are confused about the safety and ethanol content of different types of gasolines. The study surveyed 2,000 American adults and found that 61 percent assume that gasoline sold at gas stations is safe for their cars and boats as well as other small-engine products.
Additionally, 68 percent use the least-expensive grade of gasoline whenever possible to fill up their cars and just 20 percent notice ethanol content at the fuel pump. Nearly nine out of every ten individuals are not aware that Octane 88 fuel contains more ethanol than Octane 87 fuel, and the majority say the small voluntary warning label from the EPA should be
larger, clearer, and mandatory. “Higher ethanol blends, like E15, E30, and E85,” states OPEI’s president and CEO Kris Kiser, “are illegal to use in most outdoor power equipment and can damage or destroy it, and invalidate manufacture’s warranties in many cases.” Kiser continues to explain that E15 is also being marketed as Octane 88, which three out of five
Americans said they would use to fuel their outdoor power equipment if it was cheaper than other unleaded/regular fuels, but after they learn that Octane 88 contains 15 percent ethanol (which is not recommended for use in outdoor power equipment), the number drops down to 20 percent. “So,” explains Kiser, “we essentially have a muddled marketplace that now has to deal with even more mixed messages.” By clearly spelling out fueling directions in consumer instructions, explains Kiser, manufacturers are doing their part. He continues, “But we can only do so much when we’re talking about having to educate the entire country.” Business Notes continues on page 96

Hi Norris, Thank you for encouraging your readers to start a dialogue about the Seattle Boat Show. Like Northwest Yachting, we at the Northwest Marine Trade Association (NMTA), which owns and produces the Seattle Boat Show, are always looking for ways to improve this marquee event. I’m looking forward to hearing from your readers. Thanks for reminding Anonymous that Bell Harbor Marina was not part of the 2019 Show. Given the viaduct closure, we thought it was best to improve the attendee experience by not having a third location. We plan to include Bell Harbor Marina again in the future. I’d also like to respond to the letter from Anonymous and clarify some inaccuracies in his/her comments. The 2019 Show was not smaller. In fact, we had more exhibitors at both locations in 2019 than 2018 and would have had even more but we used every inch of space we could at CenturyLink Field & Event Center. It’s unfortunate that Anonymous missed the local manufacturers, namely Furuno, Simrad, and Magnum Inverters. They were there, as well as an impressive new display from Delta Marine. As for the length of the Show, this decision is the toughest our member volunteers make every year. Without question, I greatly appreciate the effort and expense it takes our member businesses to participate in the Show. I encourage Anonymous to contact NMTA anytime or take advantage of our opportunities to get involved. I am proud of our efforts on this year’s Show. Against a myriad of challenges and issues that come with a rapidly changing city, our Show continues to be one of the best attended shows in the country. —Best, George Harris. NMTA President & CEO Email: george@nmta.net Dear Northwest Yachting, I strongly agree with the anonymous marine professional that wrote to you about the January boat show being too long. I have worked the Seattle boat shows since 1975 as a yacht broker and I’ve always felt that it was too long, especially considering the weather that time of year. Everything that needs to get done at a boat show can easily be done in five days. —Kindest regards, Brian Holland, Emerald Pacific Yachts Hello Norris, I just wanted to piggy-back on your resent correspondence referencing the lower turn-out for the Seattle Boat Show. My family and I have been attending the show for a number of years. But not this year. Though we love the show and are in the market to purchase a larger vessel we declined to attend. Not because of the show itself, but because I was unwilling to subject my family to the hazards of the ghetto that Seattle has become. With all the vagrants, beggars, and obviously drug users, I felt it too dangerous to contemplate walking any of the streets of Seattle. I know I am not alone in this fact as a number of my friends and associates both in and out of our yacht club felt the same way. —Disappointed, Stephen G. Makar Letters continue on page 98

Tartan 395 Tartan sailboats and many astronauts have several things in common, among them being symbols of American pride and originating from Ohio. The new Tartan 395, another Tim Jackett design, is a 39-footer that seems to be blasting off without forgetting where it came from. The 395 definitely looks like a Tartan with a more traditional profile that includes a long coach roof and gentle sheer line. Like just about all Tartans, the large interior is a draw and even features a generous, old-school nav table to port across from the galley. The salon boasts seating that wraps around a foldable table built around the stepped mast. Large berths are located forward in the V and aft. Light maple, cherry, and teak finishes are all options that all look great. Above, the deep cockpit is well sheltered by large coamings and hosts twin steering

pedestals. A prominent navigation pedestal, not a crammed-in mini-bar, sits in the center. Further aft, there is a fold-out transom that can turn into a swim platform. After a step over the coamings, the walkways are wide with lifeline support up to the bow. This is a sailing yacht well suited to medium-sized groups of varying skill levels. Below the water, the 395 comes with keel options: deep fin, standard beaver tail, or keel/centerboard. It’s interesting too that Tartans use lead ballast instead of iron. The rig looks to be top notch with carbon fiber components used throughout. One example is that the 395 has carbon fiber double spreaders as standard. Also notable with the rigging is the Tartan cruise control rig sail plan that utilizes two headsails; a self-tacking jib on the inner stay and code zero reacher on the outer stay. This
should give the skipper plenty of versatile options that can be controlled easily from the cockpit. All told, Tartan is a long-lived American production sailboat builder who’s still got it. The new 395 is a proper mid-sized yacht that should make for comfortable and easy sailing for family and friends. If interested, you can contact local dealer Seattle Yachts for pricing and more information.

Aspen C107 The Burlington, Washington-based Aspen Power Catamarans has earned many accolades for innovation, mostly recently as the 2018 Gold Award winner in the innovation category of Seattle Business magazine. The family business and its engineer patriarch Larry Graf keep innovating, and Aspen’s prototype C107 build that debuted in January is evidence. Like all Aspens, the C107 features the patented power proa hull made up of two hulls of differing shape and thickness. The design reduces the drag and maximizes efficiency, dramatically reducing fuel consumption. Unlike many catamarans, Aspens also resist the desire to blow up the beam into a full-on party raft, keeping the beam to proa height ratio quite narrow. Below, there’s one single
berth in a forward stateroom and two twin berths besides with one enclosed head. You can sleep a total of six if needed. The C107 departs from more traditional Aspen builds with dual outboard motors versus the single inboard diesel motor of most of its predecessors. For those owners who just love outboards and who want that twin (Yamahas, 270 horsepower total) screw pep, this may be just what you were waiting for. Another feature of the C107 is a reduced draft, made to scoot over sandbars with ease. One can tilt the props halfway to get a 1’10” draft if needed. The builder reports a hyper fuel-efficient cruising speed of 8 knots, a performance cruising speed of 17 knots, and a maximum speed of 25 to 27 knots.
If you’ve always wanted a more pocketcruiser Aspen with outboards, the C107 may be your dream boat. The official production release is slated for 2020, but you can learn more from local dealer and builder Aspen Power Catamarans today if you want. Base price of $325,000 at the time of this writing.

Integrity 440 Sedan We of the Pacific Northwest may be unfamiliar with the brand but familiar with the style of yacht in this new Integrity 440 Sedan; a displacement-hull, long-distance clinker trawler with an emphasis on enjoying the journey. Why might the name Integrity be unfamiliar? Why, unlike so many loveable yachts of this ilk, it’s Australian designed, not American! The Aussies appear to have done a fine job blending the old and the new with their latest addition, now available in the Pacific Northwest for the first time. Right off the bat, the 440 Sedan gives off an inviting, shippy yet modern aesthetic. From certain angles, she looks far slimmer than she is with a generous 14’ 2” beam in part due to the low profile. The covered cockpit and swimstep combo is geared toward entertaining the guests, and the glass divide with the cabin can be completely opened to make the whole yacht one big hangout
space. Dual walkways forward, protected by high railings, bring guests to the open foredeck. The bow has a pleasing, almost Fleming look to it. Inside, it becomes clear that the 440 Sedan is meant to be a social hub with generous windows, large galley, and plenty of entertaining space near the helm. Below are two staterooms and one head. As far as guts, the standard single 305-horsepower Cummins
QSB6 inboard diesel should keep the 440 Sedan at a respectable trawler cruising speed of around 8 knots with minimal maintenance. Perhaps Integrity trawlers will become more common in the area as we become more familiar with them, as there seems to be a lot going on here that Pacific Northwest boaters seem to want. If interested, you can contact local dealer, Gateway Yachts of Anacortes, for more information. Base price is $599,000.

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 410 (2020) How do boat models get away with being dated 2020 while we are still in 2019? With a limited release, of course! Such is the case with the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 410, with one of the few models coming into our neck of the woods this August. The eighth generation of a popular build, the newest 410 is the product of gradual, savvy evolution versus a complete rebuild.
transom can fold outward for a massive swimstep, making water access a strength of the build. A new development is the hull design, for it now features a full chine. The bow is also one of the few negative bows, meaning that the length along the waterline is longer than the length overall. These are all modern touches meant to yield more speed and maneuverability. Of course, what’s a Jeanneau without excellent accommodations? There are a few layouts offered that mostly play with the number of heads (one or two), stateroom LOA: 40’ 5” • Beam: 13’ 1” • Draft (max): 7’ 1” cabins (two or three), and stowage space. Displacement (half load): 17,417 lbs. All in all, it looks like Jeanneau clevTankage (Fuel/Fresh/Black): erly improved an already popular build. 152 gals./87 gals./21 gals.

Of frequent mention is the deck plan, made specifically to feature wide sidedecks with little to no clutter all the way forward. The deck is also a complete walkaround, meaning one could walk from one of the two helms all the way to the foredeck to deal with a headsail without any scrambling over coamings or messing with steps.

Viking 38 Open Billfish We peeked at the Viking 37 Billfish when it came to the West Coast back in 2017. Now that Viking has announced their new 38 Open Billfish to their lineup, the clock is ticking until one gets Pacific-side. Meant to bolster the Viking Yachts builds that are less than 40 feet length overall, the 38 Open aims at the Viking formula of hitting the day hard for a fishing derby while providing great overnight accommodations. On deck you have that Viking profile with long foredeck that melts into the swept back windshield. Even when not in a derby, this boat always looks like its ready to go with numerous rod holders, transom box and live well, tackle storage, and, of course, the massive tuna tower with second helm.
44 NORTHWEST YACHTING || MAY 2019
The Open 38 is powered by a Cummins QSB6.7 550-horsepower engine as standard. If you don’t take home first prize, it isn’t going to be the 38 Open’s fault. Below, accommodations are modest for a yacht but sumptuous for a sportfisher. There’s an enclosed head and galley, some seating, stowage, and two bunk-style berths. Most of the handing out will be done above, for the sheltered area around the helm features plenty of padded entertainment space separated
from the working space aft. There’s space aplenty for both the rabid fisherfolk and imbibing tag alongs. If you want a sportfishing yacht, you’re probably already eyeing Vikings for good reason. The 38 Open Billfish is a welcome addition to the growing Billfish fleet. The first builds should be on the water in the fall. If interested in more information or pricing, you can contact local dealer Stan Miller Yachts.

Less Weight, More Space Lightweight Dry Sack Every boater needs a solid dry bag; one that’s sturdy, lightweight, and leak resistant, of course. The Lightweight Dry Sack by Sea to Summit is versatile, waterproof, and doesn’t break the bank. It’s made with durable nylon fabric and features a white interior lining to spot the contents with ease. Sea to Summit says this sack is ideal for backpacking, cycle touring, travel, skiing, and more. With resistance to light abrasion and punctures, you can use but not abuse. Don’t fear taking them on your cruise to Alaska but be weary of sharp objects or abrasive surfaces that could damage the material. It’s 70D nylon material with polyurethane coating and a 1,000 cm hydrostatic head makes it water resistant but not waterproof, which makes for the perfect day hike or soft adventure companion; don’t submerge and you’ll be okay. A D-ring attachment point
at the buckle is there for your convenience and the latest version features the patentpending ⁵⁄₈-inch, 15 mm Field Repair Buckle with stainless steel pins. This lightweight bag comes in green, black, red, blue, or yellow and capacities of 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 20, and 35 liters. The 1-liter is great for a phone (in a waterproof case), snacks, a wallet and keys. Use the 2-liter sack for snacks, first aid essentials, and gloves, or a beanie. The 4-liter is great to house an additional layer and a meal. Eight liters gets you space for a puffy jacket and a sleeping bag or enough food for two-to-three days.

Tubular Toweling Tuko Towels
Whether above or below deck, a super absorbent microfiber towel is always a good idea to have onboard. The TUKO towel is more absorbent than cotton and takes up minimal stowage space. Each towel features an integrated strap that can keep your towel from catching a breeze by securing it to your boat, and/or to keep it rolled up and secure when stowed. They even come with a water-resistant carrying case for easy transportation. TUKO towels come in two sizes – Sport and Beach –

Power Up SG200 Battery Monitor Kit Batteries power so many vital onboard devices, and the last thing you want is for one to lose juice and dwindle out unannounced. The SG200 is a super-accurate battery monitor that can measure and account for a battery’s naturally diminishing capacity as it grows older. The monitor is also unaffected by issues many other shunt-based monitor systems face such as accuracy drift. The SG200 is a combination of the first Smartgauge™ by Balmar with the advantages of a shunt-based, amp-hour counting system for a monitor that can keep track of multiple energy storage banks in what they call a “SmartLink network”. It supports all common battery chemistries and voltages (12V48V) including lead acid, lithium, standard AGM, TPPL AGM, Carbon Foam AGM, and GEL batteries. The SG200 monitors the battery’s charge, current flow, lifetime remaining in hours and minutes, and the battery’s embedded history, faults, and alerts for a complete and cohesive battery status report. Additional displays and
Monitor your battery bank as it grows older with the SG200 Battery Monitor Kit. Batteries naturally drop in efficiency with age, and the SG200 will keep you ahead of any issues.
SmartShunts can be added to extend your network as needed. The Balmar package includes one SmartShunt (with 60 inches of positive wire), a color display, a display mounting bracket and nut, a 10-meter SmartLink cable, a SmartLink Deutsch-style connector kit with connector and wedgelock, a fuse for the positive wire, and an installation and operation manual.
Download the free Bluetooth® Gateway and Smartphone App to view your battery's stats from your smartphone or check the SG200’s easy-to-read color display for a full reading. The latter fits any standard 2 ¹⁄₁₆-inch instrument gauge socket. Visit fisheriessupply. com or a Fisheries Supply store near you to purchase the kit for $238.99.

Cold my Beer! BottleKeeper As the summer months approach, an old foe returns with the rising temperatures; warm beer. Many intellectual giants have attempted to solve this problem, but the best solutions are often the simplest ones. The BottleKeeper is an insulated canteen that can keep a standard beer bottle cold for several hours. The body of the canteen comes apart to fit around your beer bottle and the screw-on cap seals the inner beer bottle, preventing your drink from spilling. The cap will automatically adjust to the height of the beer bottle. BottleKeeper is constructed from stainless steel with a built-in bottle opener and padded base to combat impacts. Four variations

are available, like the Standard, the Stubby, the Bomber, and the X. The average beer bottle fits in the Standard, while the Stubby is made for shorter and rounder beers like Sierra Nevada or Lagunitas. The Bomber fits the 22-ounce craft beers and the X is an upgraded version of the standard with double walls and vacuum insulation to keep a beer cold for six hours. More than 18 colors and designs are available for the standard canteen and custom text can be laser printed onto any variety of BottleKeeper. If you’ve got a better way of keeping your beer cold, go for it. For everyone else, check out bottlekeeper.com. Canteens start at $35.

Boat’s Eye View Fujinon 14 x 40 Techno-Stabi Binocular You don’t need anything fancy to see a boat-sized object a few dozen yards away, a basic pair of binoculars will do the job. But the farther away you look, the shakier the image will be, and if you add the shifting deck of a boat into the equation you’re in for some real frustration. The Techno-Stabi Image Stabilization Binoculars (14 x 40) from Fujinon offer five degrees of electronic stabilization in all directions, the bobbing boats in the distance hold still in your viewfinder. Two pairs of internal piezo gyro vibration sensors track changes in the binocular’s direction. A motor then provides correcting movement to the prisms, holding the image steady. The 14 times magnification and waterproof body of the binoculars makes them handy for use on boats; the high degree
of magnification and image stabilization make it possible to read the names of vessels quite easily. Constructed from polycarbonate, the 14 x 40’s are also internally fog-proof and have been purged with nitrogen gas. The binoculars use a roof prism design and the lenses have been multi-coated to allow maximum light transfer, creating a cleaner image. An automatic shut-off of the image stabilization feature occurs after one minute, saving battery life and extending use to over three hours. An optional flotation strap keeps the binoculars from a watery demise should they fall over the side. If you’d like to have a better view of the surrounding water, check out the Techno-Stabi Binoculars on fujifilmusa.com, starting at $999.
Walk on Water Watermat
Getting out on the water this summer is great, but getting in the water is even better. Now you can set up your own floating swim platform with Watermat gear. The foam mats give your crew a place to gather on the open water and/or create a launch point for personal water craft. A fully foam body means that the mat can be deployed quickly and can’t be popped. The products from Watermat come in a variety of sizes and uses: the standard is the 18’ by 5’ Watermat EX, but the most
versatile and boater-friendly mat would be the Towboggan. The Towboggan serves as both a stationary floating platform for swimming near the shore and a towable water toy that can be pulled at speeds up to 20 mph. A low-profile mat is much easier to climb back onto after a fall and the foam design means no re-inflating. If you want to have a little more fun in the water this summer and not just float on top of it, head to thewatermat.com and check out their selection. Mats start at about $450.

Wash Wherever Sea to Summit Pocket Shower It doesn’t take much time away from home for us to start missing the little things, like a warm shower. While the Pocket Shower from Sea to Summit won’t be able to provide you with a 20-minute shower session that steams up the whole house, it will give you a warm shower anywhere you can hang it in a little sunlight. The Pocket Shower is a 70D nylon dry bag that holds 10 liters of water with an adjustable showerhead at one end. The strength of the shower head can be adjusted, turning the nozzle to left for maximum water flow or to the right for a narrower stream or to seal it completely. The seams are fully taped and the bag is sealed with a roll top that provides rings for hanging. Black nylon ab-
sorbs heat from the sun, leaving a fully filled bag in the sun for three or four hours should get it sufficiently warm. Fill it up at base camp in the morning and enjoy a refreshing rinse upon your return. Portable showers are ideal for backpackers or boaters who like to fish or island-hop on a boat without a shower. A Pocket Shower that has been completely dried out can also easily double as an extra dry storage bag for other gear. A folded Pocket Shower is 3 inches by 6 inches in size and weighs 4.3 ounces. The bag holds enough water for an eight-minute shower on average. If you’d like a little piece of home or a clean crew, check out the Pocket Shower on seatosummitusa.com. Showers go for $33.

W h e t h e r y o u ’r e pining for a watery weekend escape or you simply need a way to travel over water from point A to point B, the Anchor Passenger app is at your disposal. The app lets you rent beautiful boats, complete with a captain and fuel, from private owners on-demand. Your hired vessel can pick you up from any accessible dock or beach for a day of cruising, a weekend adventure, or even act as a water taxi for a quick trip to Alki, Blake Island, Friday Harbor—you name it—with no ferry lines or piles of paperwork. If you’re on the other side of the equation with a captain’s license and a vessel of your own, sign up to be a captain and list your boat from the same app, and hire a steward if you need an extra hand. Think about it: You could be the Uber or Lyft on the water or an hourly tour guide and pocket a little extra dough while you’re at it. Anchor Passenger is free to download on the App Store or Google Play.
Is it a star? A planet? A plane? The Planets app by Q Continuum can help with that. The app turns the night sky into a 3D or 2D (for a flat view of the sky) map on your smartphone’s screen, making the identification of planets, stars, and constellations quick, easy, and fun! With our eye’s limited night vision, we couldn’t possibly take in all the spectacular sights in space, but Planets makes it possible to see frequencies outside of the visible spectrum, even from different areas of the world! Pull up the visibility app to see when each planet rises and sets to decipher its optimal viewing period and use the touch of a finger to maneuver Earth to see which constellations are visible not only over your home town, but also your future vacation destination, or wherever the spectrum takes you. It’s the 3D guide to the sky for aspiring astronomers and the perfect way to keep track of your favorite planets and stars. Download Planets for free for iOS devices on the App Store.
When on the water, it’s always best to know exactly what’s going on around you. The Marine Traffic App helps you do just that, with its AIS network and live map. Marine Traffic tracks more than 170,000 vessels everyday through its AIS network, allowing you to search for boats and check the information of the boats around you. The live map displays the current wind conditions and the wind forecast for the next 48 hours. Animated playbacks of other vessels allow you to see their past locations. The current conditions of over 4,000 marinas and harbors are displayed live, allowing skippers to check arrival and departure times. Over 2.5 million photos of individual boats, harbors, and lighthouses are available to browse. An in-app purchase turns your smartphone into an augmented reality tool; just point the camera at a vessel and the AIS information will appear on the screen. If you’d like to see a satellite view of the vessels around you, check out the Marina Traffic App, available for Android and iOS 9 or later for $4.99, plus in-app purchases.

No Helm, No Problem By Eva Seelye
Yacht Delivery: Life Hack for Water Addicts What if I said you could sail the seven seas for free, or better yet, earn a paycheck, too? This month’s No Helm, No Problem explores the yacht delivery industry as means to get out on the water, boat owner or not, and even make a buck or two while you’re at it. You won’t exactly be on vacation, but you still get to sail off into the sunset without being stuck in an office all day or paying slip fees. Sailing and power yachts are rarely built in the same location as the buyer’s home; they often require a skilled captain to bring them from the factory to the new owner in Bristol condition. Additionally, captains may be needed by owners who want to transport their boats between desired cruising grounds, like the Pacific Northwest and Mexico, but without spending weeks at sea. These skilled professional captains can’t always deliver a yacht all by their lonesome, so they often hire crew to assist. This unique niche, while not an easy way to make a living, can be a rewarding opportunity for the person who lives and breathes boats, has a life goal to be on the water, or wants to learn a thing or two from a skilled captain. For those pursuing their own captain’s license, this can also be a great way to accrue sea time. Be sure to remember your documentation! Requirements depend on the skipper. Some require their crew members to be well-versed in boating culture, while others are willing to teach the right person the trade. I chatted with professional yacht delivery Captain Chris Couch, who has 40 years of professional mariner experience and 160,000 delivery miles under his belt. It took him about 10 years to develop the sustainable, full-time business that he has today, including a solid client base of local brokers that hire him for deliveries as well as a network of crew on hand for when he needs them. “I’ve made it work for the last 30 years, but it’s a tough way,” Couch states.
W
Captain Chris Couch is one of the few full-time professional yacht delivery captains on the West Coast.
When a yacht needs to be delivered, it’s the brokers who reach out to the delivery captain, explains Couch. This makes yacht brokers a great place to start if you’re looking to be a delivery captain of your own. However, if you’re newer to the scene and want to learn from seasoned captains, crewing would be the best option for you. Websites such as crewseekers.net, sailopo.com, crewfinder.com, and cruisejobfinder.com are great places to start. Here, you can browse delivery opportunities based on location, skill level and certifications, and trip types like racing, transoceanic, cruising, and more. Some yacht delivery captains even post crew opportunities on everyday job sites like indeed.com. When asked how he goes about finding crew, Captain Couch tells me that he and most other delivery captains employ the tried and true word-of-mouth technique. “They don’t have to be experienced,” Couch explains, “they just have to be someone I can depend on.” He continues, “There are a lot of people that I’ve literally dragged off the street who have never been on a boat before, but they expressed the desire to go and do something like that. They were adventurous enough… that I was willing to bring them along and see how they would do.” For Couch, the hardest thing is finding crew that has the flexibility a delivery requires, because the weather is one of the many the variables that can delay a delivery by days or even weeks at times. Couch also urges crew to use caution when accepting a job. “Many delivery captains don’t make good decisions about weather,” explains Couch. “They go out in weather they probably shouldn’t, and therefore you’re putting your life in their hands.” The last thing you want is to step off a boat after a bad experience at the fault of the delivery captain with no desire to board a boat again. Be sure to interview the captain as much as they interview you. Understand their delivery history and ask about safety certifications and licenses (because licenses are not legally required to be a U.S. delivery captain). Despite all the potential hurdles, crewing or becoming a yacht delivery captain yourself is an epic way to live the mariner life. Be warned, it’s definitely not the fast track to financial sustainability. “If you want to make a living,” Couch laughs, “I wouldn’t recommend it.” Be that as it may, the hired crew life can be a fantastic way to hop aboard some beautiful yachts and learn new skills either for free or with the bonus of coming home with a paycheck. No helm? No problem.

Kevin’s Catch By Kevin Klein
Saltwater Bounty for May Anglers Opportunities abound in May to take a harvest from the sea in the Pacific Northwest. From halibut and ling cod to prawns and some north-of-the-border salmon, it’s kickin’ out in the saltchuck. The weather should give us some fine spring days to enjoy on the water. Bringing back great tasting treats from your adventure is a big bonus. Reminiscing on your trips while savoring the unreal eats is much more rewarding than raiding the seafood section of the market. Spot prawns are open for business in many areas in May, and they are amazingly large and sweet tasting. There are many ways to prepare prawns, including grilling or sautéing. Lately, I’ve just been boiling them for a few minutes. Timing is critical, as you don’t want to overcook. Just a quick dip in salted, boiling water and they are ready to peel and eat. Bring on the butter! How do you catch these scrumptious shrimps? First, start with the right gear. Just about every prawn trap on the market will work: square, round, rectangle, weighted, stackable. They all have their place. Every region has

Below: Jeff Rhinehart worked as hard as his shirt suggests to get this dandy keeper ling. Lots of ways and lots of places to catch these toothy tasties.
specific gear regulations, and of course, it’s important to use pots that meet legal requirements. Using added weight to your traps is a must, too. Many “stolen” pots have just been swept away by tidal currents. This phenomenon of the missing pots can be greatly alleviated by shrimping when the tide is fairly slack. Slack tide makes it a lot easier to pull and retrieve as well. Make it easy on yourself by not fighting a ripping tidal exchange. Study your tide tables and current charts. Make sure you have the correct color buoys and enough floatation. Using a sinking, leaded line of at least 400 feet is a must. Keep in mind that spot prawns will most likely be in 200 feet to 400 feet of water, on gravely flats below or above steep shelves or ledges. Your line will be scoped out, so 300 feet of line in 300 feet of water makes for a sunken buoy or a floating pot. Both scenarios are not productive and can be expensive! A good pot puller is a must for our area, given the water depth and type of prawning. Gas pullers are available, and they work great. However, electric pullers will do the job just fine. The Atlas Line Hauler or Scotty Pot Puller work well and are convenient. They will mate to your Scotty mounts and plug into your Scotty receptacles. However, for those who want more power, faster retrieval, and a more commercial application, electric pullers such as the Safe-T-Hauler or My-T-Hauler are good choices. As far as bait to catch your prawns is concerned, I like a combo of fast dispersing, heavily scented material and a longer lasting chunk of salmon or tuna, head or carcass. The fast-acting material can be anything from canned cat food to shrimp pellets soaked in shrimp scent oil. The blast of scent that comes out of the canned or pelleted material will draw the prawns into the pot and the head or carcass will give them something to chew on so they stick around. Usually if you’re in the right spot, you won’t have to let your pots soak more than an hour or so to load them up with prawns. And, if you’re in the wrong spot, you’ll know upon pulling the pots in that same time frame and they are empty. This will give you time to move and try it again. Sometimes just moving out from 250 feet of water to 300 feet will do the trick. Don’t get discouraged in your pursuits if you don’t have success right away.

A founder, president, participant, and occasional winner of regional salmon derbies, Kevin can be found promoting sport fishing, and giving seminars on tips and techniques to become a better fisher person. Any given day, you may find Kevin plying the waters of the Northwest, looking for fun and fish.

On Watch By Peter Schrappen
Cheers and Jeers for Legislative Session As the Washington State Legislature comes to an abrupt close at the end of April, let’s pause to celebrate the good and bad times of what’s transpired thus far in 2019. Cue the cheers and jeers! Cheers: Jon Snyder, Governor Inslee’s policy advisor on the state’s $28 billion outdoor recreation economy, reached out to outdoor recreation economy sectors to ensure that they were tracking a new tax on outdoor gear that costs more than $200. With 2,121 bills introduced this year, keeping tabs on them all take is an impossible feat. This 0.25 percent tax on outdoor clothing (think REI and/or Fisheries Supply merchandise) appears dead. Jeers: Governor Inslee’s Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) Commission vote in the 11th hour in Spokane to return commercial gillnets to the main stem of the Columbia River. Over half of the state’s 240,000 registered boats are used for fishing all or some of the time. The timing could not have been more bizarre given that these nets created barriers for salmon trying to get to the ocean while struggling orca whale populations are looking for a meal. Cheers: Senators Christine Rolfes, Kevin Van De Wege, and Jesse Salomon for hanging tough on not giving up on the priority that commercial gillnetters should be bought out, similar to tobacco farmers in North Carolina. Washington and Oregon are the last two holdouts of this type of fishing. Jeers: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) appeared to be dug in on a new policy that treats existing marinas like new marinas when they go through a permitting process, which is commonplace any time improvements occur. As NMFS tells it, mitigation is needed for updates because driving marina pile can disrupt jeopardized ecosystems. As marina owners see it, they should receive gold starts for their proactive behavior. Cheers: A big kudos to WDFW Director Kelly Susewind for speaking at the Northwest Marine Trade Association (NMTA) and Recreational Boating Association of Washington (RBAW) joint lobby day on March 24. Even more, Director Suseswind keynoted the Big Tent Coalition’s beer and pizza party in Olympia on March 18. Director Susewind showcased premier WDFW sites around the state and shared his love of hunting and fishing for the two respective crowds. Jeers: Unfortunately, the boat ramp at Point No Point continues to drag on. There is a core group of recreational fishing advocates staying focused on its completion. Time will tell on this one. Cheers: The Senate put $5 million in their capital budget to remove derelict vessels. Don’t forget that boaters already tax themselves $3 every registration
A

to remove abandoned boats. As far as I can tell, boaters are the only user group that voluntarily asks to be taxed. Not to mention, the $2 tax/registration fee to fund important invasive species prevention. Even with the $750,000 from boaters for derelict vessel removals, this program is woefully underfunded. Jeers: The House of Representatives put forward their own budget and only put $1 million in their framework for derelict vessels. If you remember last month’s column, let the dogs-and-cats fight of budget negotiations commence. Cheers: Each month, a core group of boating advocates meet under the guise of the Washington Boating Alliance in Tacoma. If you would like to learn about the latest boating issue coming down the slough, drop me a line (peter@nmta.net) and I will send you the agenda. Department leaders from the various state agencies that regulate boating attended as well as RBAW, Northwest Yacht Brokers Association, and NMTA volunteer leaders. Cheers: The American Boating Congress (ABC) is coming up, which means industry representatives and Boat U.S. staff will “boat into” Washington, D.C., from May 13 to 15. The focus of this event is to share with lawmakers that boating means business and to build relationships with those who represents us in the nation’s capital. You can bet that at the top of my list during my meetings will be the aforementioned NMFS guidance and recreational fishing issues. Ethanol guidelines always receive attention, too. Cheers: The city of Kenmore’s Mayor David Baker and Kenmore’s D.C. lobbyist will join NMTA for these meetings. Mayor Baker never misses ABC, and this year is no different. Speaking of Kenmore, their slough races are alive and strong. They occurred in March and brought the community together around the water. Cheers: The National Marine Manufactures Association released their economic-impact information. Washington has moved up to sixth in the country (from 20th). Washington’s boating now accounts for $6.9 billion of economic impact. Keep in mind that just a few short years ago that total was $3.5 billion. Cheers: Congrats to Seth Muir, who is the new head of Sail Sand Point in Magnuson Park. Muir led Salish Sea Expeditions and joined Sail Sand Point in March. He is a real leader in Olympia and made his mark in Olympia during the NMTA-RBAW Lobby Day. Whew! Ok, that is all for now. As always, see you on the sometimes choppy political waters of Olympia. Peter Schrappen is the Northwest Marine Trade Association’s Government Affairs Director and the Clean Boating Foundation’s Executive Director. Additionally, he serves on the boards of the Boating Safety Advisory Council, Washington Boating Alliance, and U.S. Superyacht Association.

Galley Gourmet By Bill Shaw
Halibut, Ling Cod, and Sand Dabs, oh my! After a great day fishing out on the water, the best way to celebrate is to invite some friends over to enjoy the catch of the day. Whether it’s a Pacific halibut, a giant ling cod, or few sand dabs, bottom fish pulled out of the water earlier in the day and prepared fresh that evening is an experience that often surpasses any meal at the finest seafood restaurant in the Northwest. Restaurants just can’t buy seafood that fresh. While I am on the boat heading back to the docks with a full livewell, I begin to fantasize about how I want to prepare each fish. First idea that comes to mind is a little crudo—thin slices of raw fish seasoned with fresh citrus, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, cracked pepper, and a drop or two of truffle oil. Tasting fish in its pure, simple form is not only delicious but gives us a greater appreciation for more complex preparations. When selecting fish for eating raw, avoid the meat around the belly and underside of fish. Wash and sanitize the
A
fish filleting area and rinse the finished filets with cold running water. Avoid eating raw fish if you are pregnant. To all the fisherman out there, good luck on the water and remember to share your catch with friends on the docks around you or invite them over for a fresh seafood appetizer and a glass of wine. I offer a few select recipes for those who want to go all out with their locally caught white fish. If really you want to get in on the entire process from water to table, read how to catch these delicious local fish with this month’s Kevin’s Catch on page 61.

Cajun Style Blackened Ling Cod After graduating high school, I discovered Cajun Chef Paul Prudomme on a TV show making his famous blackened redfish. Never having tasted redfish, I quickly substituted fresh rockfish and it looked as good as Chef Paul’s and tasted amazing. When blackening fish, you can’t be afraid of cooking with high heat. I use a cast iron skillet on high and get the pan to smoke a little before I add the seasoned filets. This recipe can be used with salmon as well. Makes 4 Servings
1 Tablespoon sweet paprika 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground ½ teaspoon white pepper, ground 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne ½ teaspoon dry thyme leaves ½ teaspoon dry oregano leaves 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, melted 4 filets (6 ounces each) of spring catch of the day (halibut, ling cod, Cabazon, greenling, or more), cut ½” to ¾” thick
Directions: In a zip-lock bag, add paprika, salt, sugar, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, thyme, and oregano. Seal the bag and give it a good shake to combine all the seasonings. Place a large cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 10 minutes. Things are going to get a little smoky while making this recipe. Turn on your kitchen hood fan to high or open the galley windows and turn off the smoke detector. Place the chilled butter in a microwave safe dish. Place the butter in the microwave dish until the butter turns to liquid but does not boil, about 1 minute. Pour 2 Tablespoons of clarified butter into four small dishes and set aside in a warm location. Dip each filet in the remaining melted butter, coating each side. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of spice mixture evenly on both sides of the buttered filet. Place seasoned filets in the heated cast iron skillet, then top each filet with a teaspoon of melted butter. Cook until the underside of the filet looks charred, about 2 minutes. Turn the filets over and pour 1 teaspoon of butter on top of each filet. Cook until the other side is charred, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a warm dinner plate and serve with a small dish of warm butter for dipping.

Seared Halibut Escabeche Q Warm Chips I discovered this seafood dish while in Mexico in the small village of Chacala, north of Puerto Vallarta. Our server at a small restaurant right off the beach suggested a fresh seafood appetizer that his wife had just prepared. Within minutes, an earthen dish surrounded by warm tortilla chips appeared on our beach table. I dipped a chip into the dish filled with small shrimp and delicate white fish smothered in a rich tomato sauce that included soft onions, carrots, and peppers. The delicate seafood, vegetables, and aromatic spices combined with the crunch of the tortilla chip was so good that I ignored my margarita until we had emptied the bowl. This recipe makes excellent use of the trim pieces from fish filets, and a few spot prawns from the trap would be a much-welcomed addition. Makes 6 Servings
¼ cup olive oil (extra virgin if you have it) ½ teaspoon black pepper, ground 1 teaspoon kosher salt Six 2-ounce boneless and skinless halibut filets about ¾” thick (cod, salmon, or other white fish can also be used) ½ cup onion, sliced ¼” thick 1 carrot, peeled and sliced ¼” thick on the diagonal 6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 lime, juiced (may substitute 3 tablespoons vinegar) 2 Tablespoons cilantro, chopped ¼ cup chicken stock ½ cup salsa ½ teaspoon cumin, ground ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ground 2 fresh jalapeños, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced (may substitute ¼ cup pickled jalapenos)
Directions: In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Season fish filets with salt and black pepper and arrange in pan so that none of the filets are touching or overlapping. Brown fish in hot oil, about 3 minutes. Carefully turn fish over and brown the other side, about 2 minutes. Remove browned filets from pan, place on a plate, and set aside. In the same skillet that the fish was cooked in, add onions, carrots, and garlic. Cook while stirring until the carrots are soft, about 6 minutes. Add lime juice, cilantro, chicken stock, salsa, cumin, cinnamon, and jalapeños, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature to medium low, cover pan, and simmer for 15 minutes. Lay the browned filets over the simmering sauce, cover and let cook for 5 minutes. Remove fish from skillet and place on a serving platter. Top fish with remaining sauce from skillet and allow escabeche to cool to room temperature. As the fish cools, it will absorb the rich flavors of the sauce. Serve with warm tortilla chips and enjoy as a fresh seafood dip.
Crispy Cod BLT with Avocado Makes 4 Sandwiches
Four 4-ounce cod filets, sliced on an extreme bias ½” thick 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon black pepper, ground ½ teaspoon curry powder 1 large egg, beaten ¼ cup milk 1 cup Krusteaz® tempura batter 2 cups vegetable oil 8 strips of bacon, cooked crisp 4 brioche hamburger buns ½ cup Best Foods® mayonnaise 1 large tomato, sliced into 8 ¼” slices
4 leaves iceberg lettuce 1 avocado, sliced in ¼” slices ¼ cup fresh lemon juice 1 Tablespoon fresh garlic, minced ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped ¼ cup Italian parsley, finely chopped 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon black pepper, coarse ground 1 cup cherry tomatoes, stem removed ½ each lemon, cut in half ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated fine 2 Tablespoons fresh basil, torn into ¼” pieces
Directions: In a large skillet over medium high heat, add vegetable oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees, about 8 minutes. Season the fish filets with salt, pepper, and curry equally. In a small bowl, combine the egg and milk and stir. Pour the dry tempura batter onto a plate. Dip the seasoned fish filets into the egg mixture and moisten. Place the moist fish filets into the dry tempura batter and coat both sides. Set aside. When the oil is hot, add the breaded filets to the hot oil and fry on one side until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Gently turn over the browned filet and cook for an additional 2 minutes to brown the other side. Place cooked filets on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Slice the brioche buns in half and toast under the broiler. To assemble sandwich, spread 1 Tablespoon on each toasted bun half. On the bottom half of the bun, place two tomato slices and season with salt. Top the tomatoes with the crispy fish followed by the bacon, avocado slices, and lettuce; then close the sandwich with the top half of the bun. Using a serrated knife, gently cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately. MAY 2019 || NORTHWEST YACHTING

What makes a boat rendezvous unique? The obvious boat rally element is just the start. Potlucks, barbeques, breakfasts, and even cooking classes tend to add a culinary layer. Boaters tend to gather in special places like an island or picturesque small town, making the experi-
B
ence part travelogue. Many rendezvous have informational seminars and even company reps present, adding a boat show dimension to it all. Of course, the bonds made and strengthened with your fellow birds of a feather, often over live music or with an energetic theme, is another critical ingredient. In our effort to enable your summer dose of rendezvous magic, we offer our second annual Rendezvous Round-Up. Be sure to contact event organizers and RSVP before showing up, for many of these are designed for owners of select boat types, members of certain associations, and the like.

CRUISing With CRIT OF THE SPECIES: TUGS
As we get ready for boating season, you may invite that new puppy or rescue kitten aboard for a summer cruise. After deciding to take my pup boating, I soon realized it was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. Kip McSnip, an apricot-colored Border collie mix, and I spent 16 years cruising the waters of the Pacific Northwest, Mexico, and the South Pacific. He was my best mate and best friend. Over the years and the nautical miles, we met countless captains who sailed with animal companions. Not just cats and dogs mind you, but every sort of creature from ferrets to parrots to a pot-bellied pig. We met a couple who kept a fishbowl onboard and a family who traveled with lizards, and even watched

monkeys swing from the rigging. All these critters were beloved buddies who added challenges and great joy to the adventures of their human friends. If you’re planning to boat with your furry pals this season you may want to devote some prep time to ensure their comfort and safety aboard. Here are a few tips that will ease your challenges and increase everyone’s fun. For the sake of length, we’ll stick to cats and dogs for the moment. Six common areas of concern to pet owners are: boarding from the dock and
TTERS
The first and most obvious solution is a set of boarding steps. Models include solid or open staircases as well as units with built-in storage compartments. These are great at the dock but are too large and clunky to carry onboard. Another option is a set of folding steps. Specially designed to assist geriatric or handicapped dogs, folding steps are constructed of heavy-duty plastic or aluminum and collapse for easy storage. Downsides are that many models have weight restrictions of 120150 pounds, which means your pooch may use them without a problem, but they won’t be helpful for many of your adult two-legged crew members. Also, while they do collapse flat, they are still bulky enough to pose a storage issue. A more portable, and practical, solution is a folding ramp. Many of these ramps weigh less than 10 pounds and fold flat to a length of about three feet. Most models are robust and support up to 500 pounds. Small garden carts and dock carts can be rolled up the ramp to the boat’s deck. Because ramps are constructed of heavy-duty plastic and collapse flat, they will conveniently stow on deck and out of the way. As seasoned boaters know, every item worth its salt should have at least two functions. Folding ramps serve at least three, maybe four. One, they make it easy for you to get on and off your boat even with a small cart. Two, when lashed on deck they provide a rigid surface giving
excellent support for fuel cans or other equipment. Three, you can wedge a folding ramp into your companionway to help an older or heavier dog get up to deck level. And finally, many models come with removable legs, which allow you to turn your ramp into a portable seven-foot buffet table. Even on a budget, a heavy-duty plastic folding ramp will be money well spent. Steps and ramps make it simple to board from the dock, and small critters can be carried onboard but what about boarding a large dog from a dinghy several feet below deck? Kip could climb the swim ladder directly from the sea to the deck where he’d shake off and trot over to a favored cushion for an after-swim snooze. But if your dog isn’t a climber, here’s a solution. Slings designed to lower search and rescue dogs from helicopters work well to pull animals up from rocking skiffs. Fit your pooch into the secure sling and then attach the sling to your man-overboard pulley system onboard. The entire process is quick, simple, and safe.
It is called the "poop deck" Potty time for your dog won’t be a problem if you make short hops or day trips, but what if you plan to venture farther and stay out longer? While it’s easy to train a puppy to go onboard, older dogs view the boat as their “home” and are more reluctant to use the deck. Among the many suggested methods

dinghy, going potty onboard, safety issues, provisioning for pets, dealing with anxious pets, and legal issues. We’ll discuss these and offer suggestions to help you easily deal with each.
PREPARE TO BE BOARDED! Boats with swim steps offer effortless access, but boarding vessels with a high freeboard can be more challenging. Luckily, three simple devices make boarding a breeze: boarding steps, folding ramps, and slings.

Clockwise from Top Left: Just like human crew, dogs need to stay hydrated in order to enjoy the boat trip; Once ashore, dogs like to be their goofy selves. Be a good owner and know a thing or two about your destinations before unleashing them on the local fauna; Like humans, dogs can get seasick and a little ginger in the form of tea or molasses-based ginger snaps can help (avoid white sugar).
You pack chocolate for your human crew, right? Be sure to remember to take a supply of your pet’s favorite treats aboard. A little indulgence makes even the roughest ride more pleasant. In addition to provisioning for the daily needs of your pet, consider stocking your ditch bag with critter-specific items. Include a harness and leash, artificial grass (gives grip in a slippery life raft and provides an emergency potty), a muzzle for your dog as even mellow animals may snap or bite in scary situations, extra water, kibble, and treats. Laminate copies of vaccination papers, color photos of your pet, his chip number, and the numbers of people to contact in case you and he get separated.
Pet SAFETY ONBOARD for dealing with this issue are using potty-training sprays and pads (best for puppies), placing chunks of sod in a box on deck, and dropping a clump of your buddy’s feces onboard for him to sniff. None of these methods worked for us. After a great deal of trial and error, I just sailed away from land with Kip and waited things out. When he finally did go, I rewarded him with loads of love and treats and put a square of artificial grass on “his spot.” After that, whenever we were unable to take him ashore, he went straight to that place without an issue. If you plan to do extensive cruising with your cat, you may find it worthwhile to devote a small closet (under the head basin works well) for a litter area. Cut a hole in the door several inches from the floor and fix a dowel across the opening. Hang a curtain on the dowel to give your cat easy access while at the same time keeping your head looking clean. Cover the closet floor with artificial grass to catch litter from your cat’s paws. A higher walled
76 NORTHWEST YACHTING || MAY 2019
box will also help contain the litter. A hint about litters: the brands made from corn absorb quickly, clump easily, reduce odors, and are lighter in weight than crushed clay. For long trips, take enough litter to last the entire time. Don’t use sand from the beach as it contains all sorts of nasty unwanted things—living and dead—that you seriously do not want on your boat. Handle dog and cat waste just as you would any other trash on your vessel. Deposit it into baggies and dispose of them properly back on land.
PRovisioning for Pets While it’s easy to find a cheeseburger in paradise, it might be a bit harder to locate your pet’s favorite meal. To ensure you have a ready supply onboard, store dry kibble in Tupperware-type boxes and secure the lids with duct tape. Slip a couple of bay leaves into the batch to keep bugs away but be careful your pet doesn’t ingest the herbs.
Just as PFDs are a must for your twolegged crew, your pet should also be equipped (and wearing) a PFD at all times onboard. PFDs will help your little buddies stay afloat in the case of “a pet overboard,” they give you a handle to grab, and in our chilly Northwest waters, they add a layer of warmth. Purchase a model with padding that covers your pet’s midsection completely. Avoid models that attach with straps around the belly as these are uncomfortable and can slip out of position. If you attach a leash to the boat to keep your pet onboard, be sure to measure the distance across the deck to ensure your pet can’t slip over the side while leashed. Although cats generally don’t care for dips in the water, most instinctively know how to swim. However, the shock of cold water and a swallow of salt water can lower a cat’s ability to react quickly. Hopefully, if your kitty goes overboard, she’ll be wearing her PFD and you’ll be able to grab the handle and scoop her up immediately. But
Get the shots VACCINATIONS:
if that’s not the case, or you’re not around, you can help her climb back onboard with the use of a thick rope hung at the stern and another at the bow. Of course, this is only done when your vessel is at anchor or dock—not underway. Knot the rope every foot and weigh it down so it hangs straight into the water and doesn’t float. Give your kitty a couple of practice sessions by taking her for a dinghy ride to each rope—no need to dunk her in the water for this exercise. Hold her next to the knotted line; she will quickly get the idea of climbing back up to the deck. Do this several times, and soon your cat will…ahem, know the ropes.
Dealing with Anxiety Some pets take to the water and the boating experience with ease, but for others, the movement of the boat and the rumble of a big engine can cause alarm and anxiety. Homeopathic remedies such as Rescue Remedy Pet (a non-alcohol-based version of the original Rescue Remedy) are helpful to calm jitters. However simple tricks used to combat seasickness are also effective. Make sure your pet eats before going out—not a lot, but enough to steady a rolling tummy. Brew a pot of tea with ginger, let it cool, and pour it onto his kibble or a yummy treat. Ginger tea also reduces seasickness and calms anxiety in the human crew. Gingered candy is great for humans, but the sugar makes it ill-advised for pets. However, ginger snaps (using molasses not white sugar), make a calming and delicious treat for both two-legged and four-legged crew. Raw honey drizzled on a treat works well although do not give honey to a person or pet with a heart condition. Fenugreek and peppermint teas work much like ginger, and these teas lend a pleasant aroma to the galley. To help your kitty deal with jitters, make sure she has a dark, quiet place to hide. My cat likes to snuggle into towels in the forward head compartment. Okay, a few cat hairs in the bath towels, but well worth our mellow, happy critter.
Like human children, your pets need to be fully vaccinated. This becomes extra important when cruising with your dog or cat over long distances, both to leap international legal hurdles and to protect your best friend from exposure to new diseases. Another important reason to have your pet fully vaccinated is to protect other people and their pets whom you come into contact with. According to the American Animal Hospital Assocation's vaccine guidelines, the following vaccinations are considered indispensable in the United States: rabies virus, canine distemper virus, canine adenovirus-2 (hepatitis), and canine parovirus. If you have a long cruise planned with your animal first mate, consulting your vet about the planned adventure is probably a good idea. He or she may know pertinent information about those white sand beaches you've got your eyes on. Be sure to bring along your pet's vaccination history aboard, as both sides of the Canadian/U.S. border will want to review those.
border with your pet, look at the country’s website before heading out. However, an easy rule of thumb is that island nations—British Virgin Islands, French Polynesia, Australia, New Zealand, etc.—have tighter laws about pet importation because of the fear of rabies, while countries such as Mexico, the United States, and Canada are more relaxed in their laws around domestic pets. Canada, for example, requires that kittens and puppies over eight months be fully vaccinated—owners wishing to cross the Canadian/U.S. border should bring proof of vaccination. Although micro-chipping is not required, much like spaying and neutering, it’s something responsible pet
owners do for the safety and well-being of their animals. In conclusion, with some advanced planning and patience, you’ll discover that cruising with critters can be one of the most rewarding and joyful parts of your boating adventures! Jessica H. Stone (Jes) is an author, ghost-writer, and avid blue water sailor. She and her dog co-wrote the best-selling book on cruising, Doggy on Deck: Life at Sea with a Salty Dog.

And what better way to celebrate the natural beauty of our local waters than to get out there? In that spirit we proudly present our updated annual Washington Marine Parks Guide.
This guide highlights many spots all over the state that can only be reached by boat. For most, the feeling of adventure when pulling into a new harbor is why they got a boat in the first place. The information in this guide is meant to help turn these expeditions into success stories. Note that Washington’s Discover Pass for state parks does not cover moorage fees.

The weather was hot and humid even at 0100 hours. We were headed 1,500 nm north to Yokohama, Japan, fulfilling a wish made when I was ten and sailing with my father and brother in Puget Sound. While contemplating how I got here with my girlfriend Pamela Gingras and my best friend John Tanaka onboard, I realized how quickly life can turn on a dime. 84 NORTHWEST YACHTING || MAY 2019

Virginia Ann, our new Tayana 54, was performing as expected. V She was making 7 knots upwind, slicing through moderate seas with neutral helm and feeling solid. It was only 12 hours since we received our departure paperwork from Taiwan customs and said goodbye to our new friends at Tayana Yachts.
The only excitement thus far was a blown jib sheet, quickly remedied by running a new sheet. It was the first test of the crew and although we had room for improvement, we had at least ten more days to hone our skills. Given this was her maiden voyage, we would all learn the nuances of the cutter-rigged Tayana 54 by trial and error. The crew consisted of myself, Pamela, and John; the crew of Paul Michael, Rich Jones, and Ryan White; and our hired delivery captain Richard Bard.
A LIFETIME IN THE WORKS John Tanaka and I met in grade school and would spend time sketching sailboats on our desks, daydreaming about sailing at the obvious displeasure of our teachers. I would later read the National Geographic article about Robin Lee Graham and his book The Boy That Sailed The World Alone, which gave me inspiration that one day I, too, would be sailing the world. Flash forward several decades, and adulthood found me newly single and winding down my career, but with the boyhood dream still alive. Perhaps my book would be The Old Single Guy That Sailed The World Alone. I had met Pamela at a dinner party where I discovered she had 25 years of boating experience cruising the Northwest and lived aboard a 50-foot ketch in Seattle. On top of that, she held a captain’s license. We began dating within a week. With her competitive spirit, I introduced Pamela to racing for the first time on my Melges 24, where she excelled. Our first time together on her boat, I couldn’t locate her and yelled out “Where are you?” and got a quick reply back, “I’m in the engine room checking the fluids!” It was instant boater love. She shared my dream of extensive world cruising, and after our first year together, we decided it was time to turn our dream into reality.
THE SEARCH FOR THE RIGHT BOAT We went all over the world from Spain to Hong Kong, traveled across the U.S., and scoured the web in search for The Boat. Pamela finally talked me out of teak decks and a blue hull, reminding me that maintenance was costly and tropic temperatures lead to hot decks and a hot boat. We also made a list of non-negotiable items, everything from performance to the size of the shower stalls. Little discussion was made as to how we would get a boat from a foreign country back to Seattle, as finding the right boat was priority one. Then it happened; we found a nearly completed boat sitting on the hard at the Ta Yang boat yard in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, with no teak decks and a beautiful off-white hull. She was a Tayana 54 designed by my favorite
naval architect, Bill Dixon. She had three cabins, two heads, a very large main salon and cockpit, as well as a walk-around bed in the aft master stateroom, a dream come true for Pamela. Tayana translates to “Big Ocean” in Mandarin, now all that was needed was the “Big Dream.” During our flight over to Taiwan, we both stated several times “I sure hope we hate this boat.” Exhausted from our travels, we still elected to go straight to the yard upon arrival.. We crawled all over her for several hours, barely speaking a word to each other, finally returning to our hotel. We closed the door, looked at each other, and shouted in unison several expletives that would make any sailor proud. We had found our perfect boat.
TAIWAN TO SEATTLE PLANNING We began what would be a three-month project dedicated to purchasing her and getting her back to Seattle. We heard several horror stories about shipping companies— everything from sudden bankruptcies to a boat falling off the deck in a typhoon. We decided to sail her back with a delivery captain and crew, and with us on board for the first leg of the journey. Pamela organized the logistics as I tended to my day job. We prioritized tasks as we had a tight window and needed to leave Taiwan no later than June 15 to beat the typhoon season. My work schedule would only allow me to be onboard for the first leg of the trip, so a search for a captain and crew was on. Richard Bard from Vashon Island answered our listing on crewfinder.com. We met him over lunch and liked what he had to say. The safety of the crew and boat was
his number one priority and the schedule would be determined by the weather conditions. We left it up to Richard to pick the other four crewmembers he wanted on board for the long north Pacific crossing. A safety gear and a spare parts list (mostly filters and pumps) was put together over lunch with Richard and Paul Michael, his first pick to join the crew. The safety gear list included a drogue system, dry suits, EPIRB, life jackets, safety harnesses, strobe lights, jack lines, man overboard pole and retrieval system, life sling, and an eightman life raft already on the boat. Communication and nav equipment included two chartplotters with AIS, Iridium Go satellite system, Inmarsat satellite phone, SSB with GAM antennae, and KISS grounding plane, weather fax, and three VHF radios. Everything would need to be shipped via FedEx or packed into checked luggage. Virtually all necessary sailboat hardware needs to be imported into Taiwan. Pamela, John, and I flew to Taiwan loaded to the gills with gear. The rest of the crew would join us a few days before our intended June 1 departure. Although the Tayana 54 holds 250 gallons of diesel, Richard requested we take at least 100 gallons extra on deck. Better to have and not use it than not have it, so we loaded up. The crew showed up on May 29, just in time for the sea trial and help with final preparations. The biggest piece of equipment was a whisker pole shipped via freighter that ultimately was late and stalled our departure by five days. Our delay gave us time to bond and enjoy a little downtime while we waited, but a large

low-pressure system was forming in the Pacific and forecasted to track right along our route.
GOOD OMEN DEPARTURE The night before departure on June 6, the Dalai Lama walked right passed our boat and boarded a power boat for a sunset cruise. It had to be an omen, a blessing for a safe passage. Being a Buddhist, Paul Michael was beside himself with excitement and said, “I think I could die happy now”Although I understood his excitement, I was looking forward to the adventure ahead of us. The next day we christened the boat Virginia Ann after Pamela’s late grandmother Virginia and my late mother Marylyn Ann. We cast off the lines and motored out of Kaohsiung Harbor, dodging the numerous freighters anchored offshore. The wind was southwest around 12 to 15 knots, and as it clocked slowly to the right, we only needed to tack twice to lay towards the southern end of Taiwan. The AIS was invaluable in picking up the plentiful shrimp boat traffic around Taiwan. A close watch was mandatory as we weaved around various boats and
buoys. We had two night watches, 1900 to 0100 hours and 0100 to 0700 hours. It was sweltering hot, both on deck and down below, with the wind barely easing the discomfort. Our clothes, drenched with sweat, were a constant reminder to keep hydrated. Happy hour was set at 1700 hours each day to enjoy some banter and our daily ration of one beer per person. Of course, some of us wanted constant clarification of this rule, looking for that proverbial loophole. I passed around beers, remembering my childhood days of fetching beers for my dad and his crew while racing around the buoys in Des Moines, Washington. As the sun rose on day two, we made our way around the southern tip of Taiwan with the wind right on the nose. We downloaded GRIB files via our prediction software at least twice daily, keeping a sharp eye on that low that was still working its way toward us. Richard made the decision to make sure we stayed left to avoid the peak winds. This would not be the Jimmy Buffett-margarita-sipping, simple downwind sail to a day of snorkeling in Naha, Okinawa, as we all hoped, but more an Ozzy Osborne-crazy-train upwind ride

to Japan. We tacked back and forth, staying along the eastern side of Taiwan, anticipating the low coming closer to us.
JAPAN OR BUST We threw a line and a lure off the stern, taking advantage of a temporary smooth sea. Richard, being a professional longline fisherman, assured me this was the best way to fish. Almost instantly, we hooked into a nice wahoo that Richard hand lined in. Not long after, Paul masterfully hand lined in a mahi mahi. It was clear these guys knew how to catch fish. As the sun set, the wind steadily built to 25 knots, still requiring tacking every few hours to stay left of the low. We made contact on the VHF with an incoming Chinese warship that instructed us to “hold your course.” We decided to tack away, not interested in playing chicken. It was a reminder of the extreme international tensions brewing in the China Sea. Our route took us just north of Okinawa, along the string of islands in deep blue water that stretches south of mainland Japan. As the sun came up on day three, we spotted a small volcano-shaped island. We decided to motor to the leeward side and attempt a fuel transfer from our spare tanks to the main tank; we managed to protect the environment at the expense of a smelly deck. Up to this point, we only motored about eight hours total since leaving Kaohsiung. It could have been more. Soon after unfurling our genoa, the luff tape separated from the foil track. The bottom guide had worked its way loose and we were lucky to not have lost it overboard. We made the repair, taking great care not to add the part to Davy Jones locker. It’s certainly something I will add to the spares list on future passages. Ryan from San Francisco had the least amount of experience, but never shied away from driving and did a fantastic job as the sea state built to 8- to 12-foot capping waves. We took several large waves over the bow, and discovered we had no less than 100 gallons
of sea water inside the forward chain locker. We managed to bucket it out and added a more robust seal around the hatch. Later we learned that Tai, the Tayana project manager, had added a drain system. We continued to beat upwind at 35 degrees apparent with the wind easing for several hours, only to build again. After five days of nothing but upwind sailing, fatigue was beginning to set in. The lower temperatures as we worked our way north were a welcome relief. The crew kept the atmosphere light, which also brought some consolation. Captain Richard can best be described as a quick-witted, old salty sea dog right out of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and The Sea. We vetted the entire crew, or so we thought. Richard waited until day four to say, “So Don, this is probably a good time to tell you about the time I spent in jail.” We all got a good laugh out of his story about taking a stand against some old unpaid parking tickets in the ‘70s and enjoying the free breakfast provided, courtesy of King County law enforcement. Rich was from Portland, Oregon, and had a long history of sailing including a passage from Hawaii to the Pacific Northwest with his wife on an Olson 30. During a few tacks in the dark in the large steep sea state, we inadvertently rolled into a few 320-degree turns, getting the attention of those below, particularly Pamela who would pop her head up with a few choice expletives, but was always the first to lend a helping hand. On the sixth day, we could barely make out the southern tip of Japan’s mainland. This was perhaps the roughest seas we encountered. A combination of wind and current rolled around the northern part of Japan and came together to form a steep swell with cresting tops. The next two days brought more of the same, rain squalls at night and some water spouts off in the distance. Sea life was scarce, and ten days of beating upwind took a toll on everyone. Tokyo Bay in the distance was a welcome sight. We tacked starboard towards Oshima Island, beating against a strong current. It was long after dark before we entered the inner portion of Tokyo Bay and Yokohama. We made one more fuel transfer to be on the safe side, knowing we had several hours of motoring into the bayside marina. At 0100 hours, we pulled into the marina and a security guard graciously pointed us toward the transit dock. We tied up, had a quick toast, and collapsed into our bunks.

could meet us in Yokohama upon our arrival. Richard agreed and selected her for the fifth crew position. When I awoke, Sophie was there staring down from the pier at the boat. She quickly bonded with the crew and made it very clear that she “was not there to only cook and clean.” I knew instantly we had made an excellent decision. We had three days of making some minor repairs; a broken lazy jack fitting up on the mast; sealing the forward chain locker; investigating a main halyard chaffing issue; and getting the rig tuned by a professional yacht rigger. Pamela, John, and I regretfully prepared to fly home after the repairs, leaving what would be a 28-day crossing to the rest of the crew. Two days after we left Yokohama, the crew cast off the lines for the long crossing to Seattle. Although difficult leaving the boat, I knew she would be left in good hands. A route was planned that would keep them around 40 degrees north and hugging the top of the Pacific high, thus avoiding the nastier weather to the north. Most of the crossing finally brought some
nice downwind sailing. The crew encountered numerous whale pods and many dolphins skipping off the bow. We followed their progress from Paul’s daily log and even helped them troubleshoot a battery charger issue from Seattle. Virginia Ann pulled into Port Townsend’s Point Hudson Marina early July 18 to a shower of champagne and a welcome home party that continued late into the night. This year, Pamela and I got engaged and are looking forward to future crossings together. She is now the Tayana Yachts factory representative in the United States. The world's a small place, people are amazing, and we consider all the people we met along the way to be lifelong friends. Don Linrothe grew up in the Northwest, sailing and racing since the age of 10. He currently races his Melges 24 and is a captain for United Airlines. Pamela Gingras grew up on a cattle ranch in South Dakota. She moved to Seattle 34 years ago and lived aboard the last 29 years, cruising the Pacific Northwest. She is a Tayana Yachts representative.

TO CROSS THE PACIFIC Midway through our trip, a crewmember who planned to join the crew in Yokohama for the North Pacific crossing dropped out. I instantly logged onto crewfinder.com and in no time, we had at least 10 responses. A 25-year-old from France named Sophie stood out; she had multiple Atlantic crossings and

RACING SHEET
Pacific Northwest Winds: Highs and Lows Words: Doug Hansen // Photos: Jan Anderson The Corinthian Yacht Club-sponsored Center Sound Series wrapped up with Three Tree Point Race, heralding spring’s arrival. The PHRF and ORC fleets race on what is normally a short-distance course running south to a turning mark off Three Tree Point and then back to Shilshole to finish. After a fantastic Blakely Rock Race and beautiful—albeit tactically frustrating low-wind Scatchet Head Race—everyone had their fingers crossed for a hat trick of a series. Unfortunately, the morning saw a small local southerly breeze in the bay but nothing on the horizon or in the forecast. All the same, boats headed out and milled about for an hour or so, while a small zephyr began
to materialize. The committee posted an alternate course that would take boats to Duwamish Head in Elliott Bay, then back to Edmonds, then finally back to Shilshole to finish. The idea was to keep the fleets sailing in the areas of the Sound that had wind and away from the flat calm waters south of Alki Point. With a slowly filling southerly, the start signal was sounded and boats began jockeying for their spots. The smaller boats set off first, which gave the larger fleets a chance to see what side of the course worked out best. The data was persuading one way, and right off the start line, crews were working hard to get over to the Magnolia shore as the current outflow from the locks pushed boats along the beach
towards the point. Short tacking the beach made for several close calls as incoming boats needed to give room to those tacking to avoid the shore. Several boats found themselves stopped in their tracks after being in the hunt when they made an unfortunate move that landed them on the sandbar off the West Point Lighthouse. The crews did not give up and made every effort to free themselves as the rest of the fleet came to a grinding halt, only yards away as the last of the fading wind finally died off. The tacticians now went into a dice rolling game with some boats cracking sheets to get moving but giving up inside position and favorable current, while others stayed tight to what little air movement there was to

be had. With crews hard pressed on the leeward rail and pushing the weight as far forward as they could, spirits were lifted by the quiet motor of the committee boat through the fleet. The race committee set up shop just off Duwamish Head and made their intentions clear that the boats were heading to the finish line. In usual form, the TP52 Glory led the way, ghosting towards the finish line, with a handful of boats following suit. The Farr 39 Absolutely held pace with the bigger boats and made significant gains, bringing home not only the race win but also the class win for the whole series. Overall, there were smiles all around and the boats motored home in the sunshine to an awaiting bar with cold drinks and awards. After the dust had settled and the times were counted out, it was Peter Shorett’s Farr 395 that came home with the overall points win for PHRF with Brad Butler’s Dos in second and the venerable Sachem, sailed by Bill Buchan, rounding out the podium in the overall standings. Rolling right along into what many consider the first race of spring, the Carol Pearl Blakely Rock Benefit Regatta has built up steam over the past years and is actively the best attended event in the area with over 100 boats
Results: Center Sound Series 2019 signing up year after year. Hosted and organized by the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club, the race is now in its 23rd year and shows no sign of slowing down. This year’s fleet ranged from an international Folk Boat with a hearty rating of 285 all the way to the carbon fiber RP55 Crossfire leading the pack at -102. The huge fleet was broken up into no less than 17 separate divisions to keep the scoring tight. The race morning kicked off with the traditional breakfast hosted at Corinthian Yacht Club’s Shilshole Clubhouse, which had a fantastic view of what was ahead for the racing fleet— winds gusting into the high 20s with times of piercing rain interspersed with brief moments of bright sunshine. More wind was rolling down the Sound and was not due to let up any time soon. Reefed mainsails and blade jibs were the norm as the heavy wind pushed through the fleets during the starting sequence. Off the line, the wind and waves made forward progress painful, evident by the radio calls every few minutes notifying the race committee of a boat’s retirement. Of the 104 registered boats, only 39 finished the whole course. While the upwind beat was painful, those that took their licks were in for an absolute sleigh ride downwind back to the Meadow Point Buoy. Coming out on top was Ben and Jen Braden’s heavy-weather loving Moore 24, Moore Uff Da, coming into an impressive threeminute lead over the next boat under the PHRF handicap. While the wind blew many sailors off the course, there was no shortage of people attending the party at the Sloop Tavern, complete with raffle and awards. The party kept going well into the evening, a solid kickoff for the spring sailing season and a race that many will remember for many years to come. Not only was it legendary, but the benefit race raised $15,000 for youth multihull sailing in the Pacific Northwest. Now with weeknight sailing in full swing and several major events on the horizon, things are just beginning to heat up for what is surely going to be a fantastic summer of sailing in the Northwest.

P RTS OF CALL
Depoe Bay, Oregon Words: Evin Moore, Photos (select): Eva Seelye Tucked between the hills and sea stacks along Oregon's Highway 101 lies Depoe Bay, a small town that packs everything quintessentially “Oregon Coast” into an area less than two square miles. Practically a one-road community, Depoe Bay’s main drag is the highway that runs along the seawall overlooking the Pacific Ocean and over the Depoe Bay Bridge, marking the entrance to Depoe Bay Harbor. While not a place most boat owners will cruise to on their own, this is slice of Oregon often talked about and visited, even by the characters of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) during their iconic fishing trip. The harbor is the salty heart of the place. Billed as the world’s smallest navigable harbor, it is the base for much of the town’s tourismdriven economy. All day long, boats that double as whale watching or fishing charters zip in and out of the challenging bar entrance to the harbor. A row of boutiques and galleries face the Pacific, which provides an unbeatable view of the never-ending horizon. Hotels perch on nearby cliffs, the perfect escape from both cramped boat cabins and greater civilization, flaunt the best views around. Depoe Bay was once occupied by coastal Native American tribes, who hunted seals and fished there long before recorded history. The town’s namesake was a man from the Joshua tribe named Charlie Depoe, who owned 200 acres around Depoe Bay. Depoe was a community leader among the tribes of the Siletz and earned the title of chief. The land that Charlie and his wife Minnie owned was sold several times before being acquired by an investment company in the 1920s. Today, Depoe Bay is quieter than the bustling resort town envisioned by the original developers, but that’s what gives the community its charm. A whole day can be spent passing in and out of its shops and eateries, with the only time commitment being your

scheduled whale watching charter. The coastal storms are more exciting than anything on TV, and the seafood is as fresh as it gets. The fact that it’s a town that makes its living taking visitors out onto the water and introducing them to the fun that can be had on the ocean is reason enough to fall a little bit in love with this smallest of harbors. As far as moorage goes, Depoe Bay Harbor does accept transient vessels, but it’s not called the World’s Smallest Harbor for no reason.
The entrance is 50 feet wide with a mean depth of 8 feet. The Coast Guard recommends that you study the channel before trying to enter the harbor. Additionally, the Depoe Bay Bridge has a clearance of approximately 42 feet, potentially limiting some adventurous boaters who would want to make a go of it. Of course, the entrance involves a bar crossing that needs to be considered ere risk mortal danger. Moorage and safety information can be found at cityofdepoebay.org.
Wonderful Whale Watching Depoe Bay is considered by many to be the whale watching capital of Oregon because of the resident population of gray whales and the nearly constant stream of migrating whale species that journey through the area. Keep an eye out for humpbacks, blues, orcas, and gray whales, which will often feed right off the coast and can be viewed from the Whale Watching Center, a free center located along the Depoe Bay seawall. The Center’s staff is ready to answer questions about whales and help you spot them. If you want to get a little closer to the action, there are many whale watching charter companies that will take you out for the perfect picture. Tradewind Charters has been offering whale watching tours since 1938 and continues today. Whale Research EcoExcursions offers tours led by trained marine biologists, while Whale Tail Charters LLC takes smaller groups of two to six in zodiac boats. Dockside Charters Inc. can accommodate large groups in their 50-foot Delta charter boats. If you’re a whale watching fan, Depoe Bay should be next on your list.
Glimpses of Nature The Oregon Coast will always be known for its stunning beaches and sea stack rock formations. There are lookout points with incredible views dotting the area around Depoe Bay, and several unique parks and natural areas. A ten-minute drive by taxi or rideshare to the south is the Devil’s Punchbowl, a bowl-shaped rock formation that swirls with water and spray at high tide. When powerful storms hit the bowl, the frothing water resembles a bubbling pot or punchbowl, bestowing the formation its name. Boiler Bay is a four-minute drive away, and the lookout offers panoramic views of the coast and the occasional glimpse of gray whales. The bay received its name after the J. Marhoffer caught fire and exploded in the bay. The ship’s boiler can still be seen at low tide and approached on foot during extreme lows. Fogarty Creek is a five-minute drive from Depoe Bay, featuring a beautiful beach bisected by a creek running down from the coastal hills. And, don’t forget to stroll along the local Depoe Bay Scenic Park at the water’s edge, ending at a beautiful cove complete with benches where you can sit back and take it all in.
Fishing, Cuckoo’s Nest-Style
Coastal Oregon
The biggest tourist draw to Depoe Bay is the ocean, and anyone who is not whale watching is probably deep-sea fishing. Ling cod, halibut, coho salmon, Chinook salmon, tuna, rockfish, and crab populate the local waters, and charter companies are eager to get you out on the water. Dockside Charters can take large groups or smaller parties and can even do wedding parties and memorials. They offer daily charters if weather permits and have price packages for lingcod, salmon, halibut, rockfish, and albacore tuna fishing.

Most of the action in Depoe Bay runs along Highway 101, also called the Oregon Coast Highway. Many galleries, gift shops, and boutiques line the street, fronting display windows to attract customers. It’s hard not to be drawn to Ainslee’s Salt Water Taffy, offering dozens of flavors of taffy made right in front of you in the shop; with over 60 years of history, Ainslee’s has been a staple of Depoe Bay for several generations.

ASK THE EXPERTS
Boat Finances FE ATURING TIM BOYLE OF THE BOYLE GROUP WE ALTH MANAGEMENT
“Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.” – Benjamin Franklin The joys of boating may be simple, yet the financial path to get there often is not. Managing the finances of any household is a challenge and adding a boat into the mix can turn the whole thing into a game of 3D chess. The hard truth is that you can be a hot shot racer that’s chomping at the bit to tear around the buoys, but without getting those dollars and cents in order, you’re not even going to be at the dock. While not as traditional a boating topic as engine maintenance or bottom paint, figuring out the money aspect of boating is just as important. But where to begin? While our inner rugged individualists may want to tackle wealth management solo, there are dedicated professionals out there who’ve made careers out of navigating these waters of capitalism. Contrary to what one may think, not all of them will instinctively dissuade boat ownership. Those who can empathize with your boating dream will work with you to achieve it. Tim Boyle of The Boyle Group Wealth Management is one such financial planner. An active boater who grew up on Whidbey Island, Boyle is known by boating clients as the one who knows how boat ownership works. We met for a chat about boat ownership
T
Tim Boyle Tim Boyle grew up on Whidbey Island, Washington, as part of a family of boaters who kept their Tollycraft in Anacortes. He always knew he wanted to get into the finance world and spent the bulk of his career as an account executive for Fidelity Investments. He left to found his own company, The Boyle Group Wealth Management, where he combines his passions for finance with boating. “We recently sold our Tollycraft 48 and are shopping for the next boat,” Boyle says. “I love that we have clients scattered throughout the Puget Sound so I can take the boat on business trips.”

and financial planning at his 22nd floor-office in downtown Seattle. NWY: You are very active with the region’s marine scene. Can you talk a bit about the tie-in between what you do and boating? What do you and other wealth managers bring to the table? It depends on who we’re talking about. We’ve got clients up and down the supply chain from people who build boats to those who work on boats, and ultimately brokers that sell the boats and people who buy them. We have individual clients who span the whole boat ownership range from kayaks to yachts. The details are different depending on who you are, but everyone can acknowledge that a boat is an expensive commitment. Whether you’re figuring it out on your own or with someone like me, there’s some planning around it that’s different than if you’re not a boater. Events like unexpected expenses should be prepared for with boating. Another aspect is that there’s cash flow issues that can come up with being on the water. NWY: How do you work with our local boat builders and marine service providers? We help boat builders take the tools that they have, typically a 401k to start, and build a plan around it for them and their business. It’s important for
them to think about the future. When they’re done building or working on boats, how do they enjoy retirement? How do they send their kids to college? Working on savings, for businesses and individuals, is probably the most important thing. Identify what you want to accomplish and be able to answer the big question: What are we going to do? Answering that question leads into more specific questions, like are you trying to do retirement planning or estate planning? We work with yacht brokers in similar ways to boat builders. We look at how to put aside money in the most tax efficient way possible. How do we keep our costs low? How do we make this money work in the most cost-efficient way? NWY: Do you have any other general pieces of advice for those of us in the boating world? Start as early as possible. I can’t stress enough how important it is to start early. A modest beginning is infinitely better than no beginning at all. At its essence, just take the structure of how your money works seriously and understand it. What kind of accounts do you have and what kind of tax treatment applies to those accounts? Know exactly where the money comes to fund your boating habit.
The Boyle Group Wealth Management Factors like moorage and fuel come up and you should have a plan for those. We typically see folks who dedicate specific assets or streams of money and call it something like the boat fund. Remember that boat ownership is something that’s important to look at in the context of everything else going on. The last thing anyone wants is for the boat to become an unwelcome expense. Boating should be fun! NWY: The situation when a boat devolves from your most treasured possession to a money hole is definitely a trope. How does one avoid that scenario? I hate it when people repeat that saying, “the two best days of a boater’s life is when they buy the boat and when they sell the boat.” I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve nearly shed tears when I’ve sold one of my boats. The key is to pay attention to what kind of boat you’ve got and bring that knowledge to bear. If you’ve got a 17-foot-aluminum boat with an outboard motor, that’s a different set of issues than if you have a 50-, 60-, or 70-foot motoryacht or sailboat. There isn’t a perfect boilerplate, scientific spreadsheet that fits for everyone, rather it’s more of an artform with very individual specifications. Custom built. Again, what kind of boating do you want to do? How long are you going to do it? Are you going to be trading boats every two years or keep one boat forever? Everyone has their own dream and they need their own plan. NWY: One area of expertise for you is navigating taxes. Do you have any insider tips for boaters? With taxes, it’s helpful to look at where tax laws are today compared to what they’ve been in the past and what they might be in the future. Look at how you’re spending money and how your assets are structured. That can be a huge deal. An idea some boat owners may consider is to put their boat in a tax-paid limited liability company (LLC). When part of a combined tax strategy and risk management plan, setting up a
The Boyle Group Wealth Management is a wealth management company with offices in Seattle, Washington, and Anchorage, Alaska. Founded by Tim Boyle after many years with Fidelity Investments, the company is known for its relationships with all levels of boating and marine industry clients. "I knew the certain types of people I wanted to work with and had an idea of the direction I wanted to take the firm,” says Tim Boyle. “We’ve been told explicitly by clients that they chose us because we help them accomplish their boating goals, not dissuade them as a knee-jerk reaction.” Web: boylegroup.com Addresses: Seattle: 1420 5th Ave Suite 2200, Seattle, WA 98101 Anchorage: 310 K Street Suite 200, Anchorage, AK 99501 Phone: Seattle: (206) 224-5650, Anchorage: (907) 264-6631
tax paid LLC can have both tax and risk mitigation beneifts. We can coordinate with an attorney and a CPA to explore if and how this strategy could work for you. When you go to sell the boat you’ll actually be selling the LLC. This could be a significant benefit from a tax standpoint, potentially giving you a compelling edge in your asking price.
NWY: What are some of the most common obstacles your clients need help with? One difficult situation I see a lot is when health problems force a boat sale. Whether an owner is elderly, ill, or passed on, often the boat in question is in a state of disrepair after neglect. These situations can stress financial plans, especially when not planned for. Something like
this happened in my family, and a great boat was sold for pennies on the dollar after prolonged neglect when an engine seized. My advice is to think about that exit plan, even if you plan to keep the boat until you can’t boat anymore. We have a strategy that we use with clients to give them the highest probablity of a smooth transition.

As with most things marine, there is no substitute for time in the saddle to get the hang of it. Halibut and ling cod are open in many areas in May. Ling for a longer season, and halibut on selected days. There are size limits and depth restrictions for lings, and other rules for halibut. Don’t be intimidated by the regulations, just do your due diligence and research, and go get some. Chinook fishing should be available in Canada and parts of Alaska in May. Some big early fish can be out
there towards the end of this month. A run north can be productive and get the juices flowing again. It’s a great time to get a first whack on the leading edge of the run. There are some great opportunities this month to get out on the water and partake of the bounty the sea provides. Don’t miss out on filling the freezer and all those great dinners to come from your own saltwater harvest!

Carnival Cruise Line is facing a ban from U.S. ports if a threat from a federal judge is carried out. U.S. District Judge Patricia Seitz proposed the ban after Carnival possibly violated a probation against illegal polluting. In 2017, a federal judge fined Princess Cruises, owned by Carnival Cruise Line, $40 million for illegally dumping oil-contaminated water into the ocean. The cruise line was also ordered to undergo five years of a court-supervised Environmental Compliance Program. The company is alleged to have violated this probation by preparing ships prior to inspections, falsifying records, and
dumping gray water in Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska. The cruise ship industry is a major source of jobs in the Pacific Northwest, especially in Seattle and Alaska. The HollandAmerica Line, also owned by Carnival Cruise Line, is based in Seattle. Port of Seattle officials have indicated that they will monitor the outcome of the decision. Judge Seitz requested Holland America Group CEO Stein Kruse, as well Carnival Chairman Micky Arison and CEO Donald Arnold, to appear at a June hearing. She will decide at the hearing whether or not to ban the ships.

B.C.’s Harbour Air Says It'll Go All-Electric By Eva Seelye
Harbour Airlines, a British Columbia seaplane company, which operates about 30,000 flights each year on 12 routes between Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria, and surrounding areas, announced its partnership with the MagniX engineering firm to create the world’s first completely electric airline. Already the first fully carbonneutral airline (in 2007), Greg M c D o u g a l l , H a r b o u r A i r’ s founder and CEO, plans to take North America’s largest seaplane airline to the next level. The fleet will be powered by the Magni500, a 750-hp electric motor developed by the Washington-based firm. Electric powered planes may seem like a stretch given traditional anxieties about the range of electric vehicles (mostly cars, but boats too) - but the majority of Harbour Air's flights are less than 20 minutes in duration; and even longer range flights like those from Vancouver International Airport to Seattle are well within the targeted range specified by MagniX. MagniX CEO Roei Ganzarski notes that, “in 2018, 75 percent of worldwide airline flights were 1,000 miles or less in range… with MagniX’s new propulsion systems coupled with emerging battery capabilities, we see tremendous potential for electric aviation to transform the heavily trafficked ‘middle mile’ range.” The DHC-2 de Havilland Beaver will be the first converted aircraft with its first tests expected to take off late this year. McDougall reports in a statement, “Through our com-

mitment to making a positive impact on people's lives, the communities where we operate, and the environment, we are once again pushing the boundaries of aviation by becoming the first aircraft to be powered by electric propulsion.”
Harbour Air's DeHavilland Canada DHC-3 Turbo Otter airplanes are a familiar sight over the skies in Vancouver, Victoria, and all the way up the B.C. Coast.

Letters Continued from Page 36
Dear Editors, Just read the "Anonymous Marine Industry Professional's” post on why the [Seattle] boat show was slow and not well attended. I am a little frustrated at the comments, so here's my thoughts on the matter. As I understand it, the [Seattle] boat show has been kept at two weekends long because of pressure from dealers who have the largest indoor displays to keep it long. That's because they always have a huge presence indoors and it costs a lot of money to bring the boats indoors, from trucking them to staging. None of us really like the 10-day show. The show is also frequently attended by the same boaters. That means that we aren't really creating a new generation of buying public. As A.M.I.P. says, Seattle is awash in dollars, but many of these tech workers are staying in Seattle for two years and not setting roots, much less buying a boat. Also, there's a lot of negativity around boating. The #1 complaint I have from people who won't buy a boat is "I don't have time!" People are filling their times with various activities (including being chronic over-workers) and not taking the time for themselves. They are also told over and over again that a boat is a poor investment (that's true, they are money pits), while forgetting to enjoy their lives, take the time to relax, and make time for activities like boating. Finally, to say that "boat salesmen put in zero effort and only talk to each other" is reductive and dismissive. Yes, we talk to each other, and I make a point to do so, because it's important to nurture those relationships, and communicate about boats, and really, most of us don't get together outside of these events. But we also work our butts off for ten days, engage clients, and follow up. —Regards, Bryon Shirley, Denison Yachting

The True story of Adah Beeny Dear Editor, I have a lot of respect for Bill Shaw’s expertise as a chef and I usually enjoy the columns he writes for Northwest Yachting, but his Cocktail of the Month column ("The Ada Bean") in your March edition missed the mark for historical accuracy. The article contained factual errors, revived old rumors, and besmirched the reputations of people who cannot defend themselves. I know from speaking with a granddaughter of John and Louella McMillin in 2008 and 2009 that these stories often made their way back to family members, who found them to be hurtful. These are the facts: 1. “Ada Bean” is incorrect. Her name was Adah Beeny (c. 1868-1955). 2. Adah Beeny was not the bookkeeper for Tacoma & Roche Harbor Lime Co., later renamed Roche Harbor Lime & Cement Co. She served as a domestic assistant in John and Louella McMillin’s household. She cared for children in the family and provided other domestic services. (In a Sept. 24, 1904 San Juan Islander article, it was reported that Mrs. McMillin “and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fred McMillin, assisted by Miss Beeney [sic], personally prepared and served a fine lunch” at the Hotel De Haro for guests at a political gathering organized by John McMillin.) 3. Adah Beeny is listed in the 1892 U.S. Census as living in Tacoma, where the McMillins had lived. Her occupation was listed as “laundress.” She likely joined the McMillin household shortly thereafter, possibly when the McMillins’ daughter, Dorothy, was born in 1894. The McMillins’ oldest son, Fred, would have been 14 and younger son Paul would have been 8 then. Dorothy needed care through adulthood. John and Louella would have four granddaughters, born between 1908 and 1920. 4. In the 1910 and 1920 U.S. censuses, Adah Beeny is listed as a member of John and Louella McMillin's household. Her relation-
ship is given as “servant.” In the 1910 Census, Louella McMillin’s mother, Mary Hiett, was living with the family, and Adah Beeny undoubtedly assisted Louella McMillin in the older woman’s care. Mrs. Hiett died in 1910 in Roche Harbor. 5. Mary McMillin Cooper (1920-2012), a granddaughter of John and Louella McMillin, said Adah Beeny was like a member of the family and was a comThe real Adah Beeny, panion to Louella McMillin. alive and well circa 6. Bill wrote that Adah Beeny hanged 1953 (photo courherself from a chandelier and implied tesy San Juan Sepia that she died prior to 1922. She died & the Halvorsen/ on Jan. 5, 1955, of natural causes at the Boe family). age of 88. Roche Harbor and those who have passed on deserve a fact-based telling of their stories. I encourage Bill to present Roche Harbor’s history accurately in his culinary creations and in his columns. I hope this information is helpful to your readers. —Sincerely, Richard Walker NWY: Very comprehensive research, Richard. We’re honored to present the historic facts within the magazine to set the record straight. We can say with confidence that no ill will toward anyone was intended with the publication of the now debunked urban legend telling of the events around Adah Beeny’s life. Thank you for giving us all the facts, and perhaps if the Adah Beeny cocktail is enjoyed this summer, a toast to the truth and those who came before us is in order instead of the comparatively shallow thrill of superstition.

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.

t s e B s ’ r e k Bro 36’ Monk Trawler Tri-Cabin We Pacific Northwest boaters are blessed in many ways, not least of which are the opportunities to encounter Ed Monk- and Ed Monk Jr.-designed trawlers. Senior’s builds are often the wooden, spry sea salty grandpas of the marina with countless Alaskan trips under their hulls and bright eyes to do it again. Junior’s famous fiberglass motor trawlers, often of ‘90s or ‘00s vintage, define the period in the best ways by blending the old and new schools without surrendering completely to nostalgia. For the unfamiliar, George Edwin William Monk (Senior) was one of the local marine industry greats. Born in Port Blakley on Bainbridge Island in 1894, Senior’s career as a shipwright and then naval architect spanned decades from 1914 to 1973. His storied tenure includes building
wooden freighters for WWI, commercial and ‘00s. Junior’s portfolio is also diverse tugs, and more, but his yachts have largely with a few sailboats and other projects to endured as his legacy.

Bruce Roberts New York 65 Steel Cutter In our fiberglass world, there’s not too many options for those who dream of Arctic adventures and steel hulled sailboats. If you want a steel sailboat, you generally must go with an extra pricey custom build or rely on the many Bruce Roberts designs, as production builds are scarce. But what’s the deal with these Bruce Roberts designs? Is he a designer, builder, consulting company, mere mortal, or all the above? Australian Bruce Roberts has an interesting setup. Bottom line: he is a boat designer who sells his designs directly to the public. You buy a desired design and you either get the plans and a DIY kit or work with a boatyard to bring the design to life. He also provides consultation support (only if you got the plans directly from him, of course).
