This month's cover sees a Northwest Explorations motoryacht flotilla in Prince William Sound, Alaska. This is about as north as it gets for the Bellingham, Washington-based company. It was taken by naturalist Jordan Roderick in 2016.
Two University of Washington rowing coach launches have been lovingly restored to their former glory. One of them had its hayday during the Boys in the Boat era!

FROM THE HELM
Boating: The Key to Enlightenment?
The salon of Deception, a Grand Banks 49, was standing room only, all eyes trained to Richard Fitzpatrick, captain of the chartered motoryacht flotilla. The multi-week journey ahead of us was outlined on an oversized chart that hung from Norris Comer ceiling to floor—a swerving route 736 nautical miles long from Ketchikan, Alaska to Bellingham, Washington across two U.S.-Canadian borders. Welcome to orientation, swabs. “Tomorrow’s potluck will be all about the fun,” said Captain Fitzpatrick, “but tonight we have a few items to go over.” As he dove into best boating practices, the route, and more, I surveyed the crowd, all skippers or crew of one of the five other boats in the flotilla. For one semi-retired couple, this was their seventh summer in a row boating along the Alaska and British Columbia coasts. For another, their first. The largest crew represented three generations of a family, from girls ages ten and fourteen to their parents to the grandparents. One crew was from Charleston, North Carolina, another from San Francisco, California. Some were old hands, others anxious about maneuvering out the marina in the morning. Backgrounds of all kinds, united by the same call: to helm a seaworthy ship through wild northern waters. The experience aboard caused me to reflect throughout the Northwest Explorations Mother Goose Flotilla (adventure detailed on page 66, Flotilla Freedom) about
the peculiar properties of sea and its effects on we who sail upon it—especially when I was on the flybridge at quiet anchorages in the middle of the Fjordlands with shooting stars for company. There’s an undeniable oneness about being on a boat: the water, the helm, the crew. From my limited introductions to meditation, I’m reminded that focusing on a singularity is the key to clearing the mind. Hence the mighty aummm you may associate with Buddhist monks, a sound meant to invoke a singular note in the universe through which one can focus upon. A mantra is simply a word, statement, or sound repeated for this same purpose; anything to create that singular focus, that whip to tame the wild tiger of our thoughts. Perhaps when we boat, we too enter that meditative state. To catch the wind, there is only the sail. To go faster, there is only stepping up onto the plane. When navigating, there is only the course. When crew, there is only each other. When aboard, there is only the sea. In this way, the boater too enters a state of clarity and mindfulness, and thus joy seeps into our aquatic pursuits. Quick, somebody give Siddhartha the tiller! From all of us at Northwest Yachting, we wish you many fantastic September days on the water. In my opinion, September is the best kept secret of the year. Good weather and open slips? Count me in! Fingers crossed for an extra month of summer weather before the onslaught of pumpkins and turkeys.

Double Take
Deep Impact A Cosmic Discovery in Our Own Backyard By Eva Seelye
An out-of-this-world discovery occurred off the Washington coast that shook up the stargazing community. After an eight-hour seafloor search, two tiny fragments of molten rock were discovered – artifacts that scientists suspect are remnants of a meteor that exploded in a fireball crashing down into the sea in March. Underwater robots from the research vessel E/V Nautilus scoped the ocean floor, filtering and scooping up sediment and raking the sand with a magnetic wand that detects magnetic meteorites. At 300’ deep on a soft and muddy seafloor, the crew of the E/V Nautilus explains the meteor fragments were most likely swallowed up
on impact. That situation combined with 12’ surface swells made for a challenging task to say the least. These two fragments were found in the last sample of the day. Dr. Mark Fries, NASA’s curator of cosmic dust, describes the sea bottom as a “billiard table, and there was one little pit where it looked like something fell into it.” According to Dr. Fries, this was the largest detected meteor in the U.S. in more than 20 years, and an estimated two tons of rock possibly survived the plunge. He tracked the main impact zone to a ½-mile diameter swatch just 16 miles from the Washington coast using weather radar. Maybe you felt the sonic boom this “golf cart-sized meteor” created, as described

by the Seattle Times, when it hit Earth’s atmosphere on March 7. University of Washington astronomy professor Don Brownlee said if the meteor had exploded over Seattle, it probably would have shattered glass and caused injuries. "I'm cautiously optimistic, not ready to be definitive about it but the first look at the samples, it looks like we got what we came for," says Dr. Fries. But before anyone gets too excited, the ¹⁄₁₀”-wide fragments must be microscopically analyzed to ensure they came from outer space. If it’s true, this would be the very first time anyone has recovered meteor fragments from the ocean bottom. Dr. Fries continues, “As a scientist, I want to be unbiased, I want to be logical. At the same time, I’m looking at these things saying, ‘Yeah! This is awesome!'" After the fragments have been examined, Dr. Fries will send them to the national meteorite collection in the Smithsonian Institution, and if the Meteoritical Society decides the specimens contain enough material to be classified as a meteorite, they’ll need a name. Dr. Fries and the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary asked members of the Quinault Indian Nation (the closest community to the crash site) to suggest possibilities.

Ladies First: Female Skippers Make Clipper History By Eva Seelye
This year’s Clipper Round the World Race was unprecedented, plowing an unforgettable wake in Clipper history. After 11 months and 40,000 miles, Sanya Serenity Skipper Wendy Tuck, 53, was the first woman ever to win the circumnavigation race. Visit Seattle Skipper Nikki Henderson, 25, cruised into Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool, UK in second place, which secured a

female podium and a legendary record year of racing. It was a close finish with Henderson, the youngest-ever Clipper Race skipper, falling just short of the overall win even after Visit Seattle played their Joker Card (a pointdoubling device). “You were just too quick for us!” says Henderson to Tuck. “We didn’t get the win but I am so proud of how my team dug deep and kept fighting right until the end. No matter how hard it got, they turned up on deck ready to work and deserve every bit of this success in coming second.” The Clipper race is regarded as one of the most challenging races in the world. Not only are these sailors crossing six oceans and navigating the coasts of six continents, but 40 percent of racers have no prior sailing experience. Crew members from 18 to 76 years old sail head first into phenomenal sea states with 45-foothigh waves, hurricane force winds, extreme freezing and heat conditions, and boat speeds up to 35 knots. Visit Seattle crew member and Seattle nurse Shannon Dean, 53, remembers some of the challenges she and her crew faced on board. “I think about all that we’ve been through and even during the hurricanes, when we were completely astonished by the big waves, we’d all start laughing as if what we were seeing was beyond belief. But I truly believe that anyone could do this race if they set their mind to it.” Dean also expresses her level of respect for Henderson, “She’s made our team a family and after this success I think she can do whatever she sets out to achieve.” Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, 79; the first man to sail solo, non-stop around the world and founder of the Clipper Race, remarks on the possible impact of Henderson and Tuck’s achievements. He states, “The impact of the success of both Wendy and Nikki cannot be underestimated. If this gets even one more girl to start sailing and dreaming big, then I’ll consider everything we have done over the last eleven months a huge success.” With Sail Like a Girl dominating the Race to Alaska (R2AK) and two women skippers making Clipper history, this year is one for the ladies. These feats are inspiration to people everywhere.

Prince of Tides Tides: The Science and Spirit of the Ocean by Jonathan White By Greg Van Belle
Tides have intrigued and baffled scientists, mathematicians, and sailors for all of recorded history. In Tides: The Science and Spirit of the Ocean, Northwest author Jonathan White takes his fascination with the movement of the oceans and gives us a book that is one part science, one part history, and one part adventure story. We in the Northwest take tides for granted, and most of us operate with an elementary school science level of understanding of how they work. Most of us know that the gravitational pull of the moon is responsible for the twice daily rise and fall of the water, but that’s about it. White spends some pages explaining the science
of it all, but always in context of a larger story he is telling about the world’s oceans and the people who have sailed across them or lived on their shores throughout history. This book teaches us more about science, history, and geography than it does about tides themselves. Why did the tides – so cyclical and predictable – take so long to be married to astronomy and the other sciences of the ancient world? In part because those otherwise brilliant ancient minds lived in a part of the world that experiences a miniscule tidal exchange. In contrast, native cultures in places like the Pacific Northwest have had a basic understanding of tides for as long as they have been
on the earth. Today we look at tide tables to know when high or low water will be. Native cultures used tides to tell time. It is no secret to those of us who ply the waters of the Pacific Northwest that moving water is a major concern, and White’s chapter on the tidal flows of this area is worth the price of the entire book. His first-hand accounts are married with historical records, interviews, and lore to create what is for me a wonderful reminder that no element of life on this planet exists in a scientific vacuum. The movement of the ocean’s water affects everything: sea life, weather, shipping, recreation, science, religion, travel, and education. White travels the world in this book. In China, he witnesses firsthand the world’s most consistent and terrifying tidal bore: a massive and swift moving wall of water that – twice every day – rushes up the Qiantang River near Hangzhou with a pulsing wave over 20' tall. Says White, who joined in on the foolhardy game of outrunning the bore and scrambling up the walls of the dyke built to control its fury, “I’ve never seen a tide so quick, so merciless. On most coasts, it takes six hours for a tide to come in; here it takes six seconds.” He travels to the Bay of Fundy,
which at almost 55' has one of the world’s largest tidal exchanges. I try to wrap my head around what Deception Pass would look like with a 55-foot exchange and nothing computes. It seems impossible. The book also skillfully touches on what we all know will be worldchanging issue for generations to come. I am writing this from Seattle’s Bell Harbor Marina. It is a normal morning high tide and the sea level is a mere seven feet below Alaskan Way. As sea levels rise over the next century, waterfront cities like Seattle (built on fill, protected by a sea wall) will face likely insurmountable civil engineering issues and costs. Already, all around the world, we see the powerful effects of rising seas and warming water. Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina had record-breaking storm surges (12.5' and 34' respectively) due not just the power of the storm. Higher high tides, warmer water, and changing ocean currents all played a role. As White points out, had Sandy hit N e w Yo r k s e ve n hours earlier the tidal surge would have been at least four feet higher. Sandy flooded over 50 square miles of the city as it was. The section of the book devoted to rising tides is not presented as a lecture or a political stance, though one wonders how the scientifically provable fact of rising sea levels can be seen as anything but an international emergency. Like the rest of the book it is told as a story, with first-hand experience, scientific data, and historical perspective. Tides is an exceptional book. White’s personal and academic backgrounds make him perfectly suited to be the one to tell this story. It belongs on your bookshelf.

Dogs Vs. Mussels By Eva Seelye
To most, mussels, often drowned in a butter, make a delectable meal. But to boaters and environmentalists, certain freshwater mussels can be troublesome, attaching themselves to pipes, reservoirs, boat motors, and the like. Invasive freshwater quagga and zebra mussels siphon water
to rid waters of microscopic organisms, which is usually a good thing. However, too many of these mollusks means less and less microorganisms, which could throw the food chain out of balance. If a large area of water turns an aquamarine shade of blue, odds are that the mussels are a little too hard at work. This could risk starvation for many other native species. Originally from Russia and Ukraine, quagga and zebra mussels were brought to the U.S. in ships’ ballasts in the 1980s where they were released into the Great Lakes. They’re hearty and resilient, attaching to trailers and boats that travel far and wide and surviving by closing their shells to wait out the journey. Their larvae are microscopic, and can live in any small amount of water, even in or on boots. So, what to do about this migrating invasive species that could possibly deplete the food chain? The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife believes dogs could be the answer. Their first appearance in this new line of work will be in Spokane where they will inspect vessels at the state line boat-check station for quagga and zebra mussels. Grant money will be used to purchase canines in the following year. Eric Anderson of the Department of Fish and Wildlife gives us an idea of what to expect. “When you have physical inspections with a technician,” he states, “an inspection could take five to ten minutes. When you have a dog, it’s able to sniff the outside of the boat. That inspection could go down to maybe a minute or two minutes.” These canines can even detect if mussels are present in a lake. “It’s huge,” Anderson remarks. “It’s going to be a great asset to the program.”

PSA: Label Your Paddlecraft
By Eva Seelye
Unmanned paddlecrafts are plaguing Puget Sound waters and are tying up valuable response team resources in the process. In the month of July alone, the Coast Guard search and rescue crews responded to an average of one unmanned, adrift paddlecraft every day. To minimize unnecessarily expended effort and the personnel fatigue of rescue crews, the Coast Guard asks all paddlecraft owners to label their personal watercrafts with essential contact information. Helicopter and boat crews as well as other government agency personnel spend an average of two hours per response. The Coast Guard and 911 center personnel spend about an additional four hours to investigate. In 15 percent of responses, the vessel is presumed derelict or abandoned based on damage or signs of age, 25 percent of responses were either reported lost by the owner or the owner was found, and 60 percent of responses end inconclusively with no found owner or identified reason for the adrift vessel. To create a label that will withstand the demands of the Puget Sound, write your name and phone number on a Paddle Smart Identification Sticker with a permanent or waterproof marker and cover it with a piece of clear, waterproof tape for increased durability. The Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla will provide the sticker. Every unmanned paddlecraft is treated as a potential distress situation, but if the vessel is properly labeled with the owner’s contact information, a simple phone call will resolve the issue quickly.

On September 8, the Pink Boat Regatta will be out on the waters of Puget Sound, decked out in all pink, and raising money for cancer research the most nautical way possible. Hosted this year by Elliott Bay Marina, the Pink Boat Regatta is a charity regatta whose net proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), a non-profit organization supporting breast cancer research laboratories. The Pink Boat Regatta was founded by Ashley Bell, who had just recently fallen in love with sailing when she learned that her mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time. Determined to help, Bell started the regatta and six years later has raised $464,000 for the BCRF. The regatta is open to any sailing vessel, and those looking to support the regatta can

register their boat and race or make a direct donation that goes straight to the BCRF. If you know someone racing, donate to their boat so they can reach their fundraising goals. Those who want to get out on the water, but not necessarily race can buy a ticket for the spectator boat, the Argosy Sightseer. Passengers on the spectator boat will spend the afternoon on Elliott Bay watching the race and enjoying refreshments, games, and a silent auction. All proceeds from the spectator cruise go to cancer research.

Ten-Year Old Girl Catches Record Tope Shark By Eva Seelye
Isabella Tolen with her big catch, a 41lb., 68" Tope Shark.
The largest tope shark to ever be caught off Washington’s coast was reeled in by ten-year old Isabella Tolen from Lake Stevens, Wash. Tolen reflects on her record-setting experience, “It was really hard to catch, because the shark was pulling around the boat, and my dad kept telling me to follow my fish,” She continued, “It seemed like it might pull me into the water, but I just kept following my fish.” The 41-pound, 68” fish was caught using a strip of salmon belly in Grays Harbor.
Tope sharks (also called soupfin sharks) are often found in the coastal waters of the Eastern Pacific, Western South Atlantic, Eastern Atlantic, Southwestern Indian Ocean, and the western South Pacific between the latitudes of 68 degrees north and 55 degrees South. The tope sharks found up north in Canada are assumed to be part of a larger migratory population that move north in the summer and as far south as Chile in the winter. They’re identifiable by their long, pointed snout, oval eye, and sharp oblique cusped teeth. Most who catch one of these wide-ranging, active sharks eat their meat fresh, fresh frozen, or dried and salted with a side of sharkfin soup. Although their numbers are dwindling these days because they were once intensively fished for their livers which contain high concentrations of Vitamin A – a product of high demand during World War II. Their population has significantly declined in the last 60 to 75 years and are therefore considered to be a vulnerable species on a global basis. Tolen believes you’re never too young to fish and has fished with her dad for years. She urges everyone to take a stab at the sport. She states, “If you can hold a pole, you can fish.”

Reader Chelcie Liu offered an astute correction to our feature R2AK: A Revolutionary Fourth in our August 2018 issue. Mid-column on page 79, the author incorrectly states that there were only two multihulls in the top ten this year. He meant to write two trimarans, as there were four multihulls in the top ten including fifth place Straight to the Pool Room and ninth place PT Watercraft. We apologize for any animosity this has caused in the community. Cats are just as multihull (adjective in this case) as Tris and we love them. Thank you, Chelcie, for getting the record straight. The corrections have been made to our digital edition.

Education
A Mariner’s Life for Me By Eva Seelye
If you’ve long dreamt of a life at sea where you can learn the mariner trade and live by the ocean breeze, then you won’t want to miss Sea School Northwest’s unique program. The school hopes to change the face of the maritime industry through education, mentorship, community, and skill development by providing entry-level maritime training to adults 18 and older during an eight-week, at-sea training period, and their next stop is to our very own state capital, Olympia, Washington. Assistant Director Caitlin Stanton explains, “Joining Sea School Northwest means you will leave home, join the crew of a ship, and become a mariner.” The benefits
following this course are immense. Stanton continues, “If you complete the program, you’ll get a foot in the door to an amazing, high-wage, growing job market.” If you’re intrigued, adjust your heading to Olympia’s Port Plaza where the Hawaiian Chieftain is docked – the training vessel and a West Coast regular – to the Double Tree Hotel’s Capital Room to venture into the minds of a working mariners at the free Industry Panel Discussion on Saturday, September 1 from 1100 to 1300 hours. Learn about job opportunities in the industry, what to expect while at sea, ask questions, and take it all in. To give you a little taste of the coursework
30 NORTHWEST YACHTING || SEPTEMBER 2018
during your time at sea, the program’s onboard licensed Sea School officer will guide potential students through the five SSNW training focuses: USCG Licensing Preparation, Hands On Skills, Marine Systems Training, Professional Development, and Industry Discussion. If you’re sold on the idea, you could be in deck shoes just a short eight weeks from now. Curious where you’ll be spending those educational weeks? The Hawaiian Chieftain will be open for tours from 1000 to 1300 hours so you can get a taste of life on (or below) deck of your educational vessel. Program Director Hali Boyd is “thrilled to be offering the Olympia community these events.” She explains, “We’ll be putting on a very informative, useful event for people who are interested in these jobs.” Sea School Northwest is such an
exciting opportunity for Olympians; it’s bringing maritime back to a port city that was once a maritime hub. Scholarship opportunities are also available for those interested in taking the leap. If you’re more interested in the historic Hawaiian Chieftain than a life at sea, both the Chieftain and Lady Washington – Washington’s official state ship – will be participating in the annual Olympia Harbor Days from August 29 through September 4. Choose to embark on a two- or threehour sailing excursion, take a tour of the vessel itself, and visit its on-board gift shop if you so desire. For more information on these historic vessels and their Olympia Harbor Days schedules, visit historicalseaport.com. If you’re ready to jump aboard and sail into the horizon as a mariner, check out seaschoolnw.org.
It’s All Here. Pump-out Station Opens on Orcas Island
PLAY
EXPLORE
By Evin Moore
A new pump-out station opened earlier this summer on Orcas Island. The pump-out site, located at West Beach Resort, will be the first to open in the San Juan Islands in over 20 years. The service is free, and boaters headed south can stop and quickly have their holding tanks emptied. West Beach Resort was chosen as the location of the pump-out station in response to a boater survey indicating the need for a station near Sucia Island. An attendant will be available to teach boaters how to use the new equipment. The new station on Orcas Island is one of many that have been recently installed as part of the Washington Clean Vessels Act program. The program and new site are managed under the Washington State Parks. Boaters will be able to pick up a free pumpout adapter kit, provided by the Washington Sea Grant (WSG), available at the marina’s store. Besides pump-out adapters, the WSG is offering free small oil spill kits this season as part of the Small Spills Prevention Program. Small oil spills account for a majority of the oil that ends up in local waters, and Washington Sea Grant is looking to reduce oil spills with free absorbent pillows that can be placed next to bilge pumps to prevent oil from entering the water. The kits are available in certain marinas, from Coast Guard Auxiliary vessel examiners, or can be mailed upon request. Visit wsg.washington.edu, or email WSG Boating Specialist Aaron Barnett at aaronb5@uw.edu for more information.

commercial fishing and marine industry trade show; it’s the 2018 Pacific Marine Expo, held at CenturyLink Stadium in Seattle, and registration is now open. The dates are set for November 18-20, three days later than usual due to a Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers game on Thursday, November 15. Jessica Hathaway, Editor in Chief of National Fisherman, explains that the Expo “will have all the show specials, must-attend conferences, contests and a show fl oor packed with everything you need to run your business in 2019.” The Expo will feature the Alaska Hall, product demonstrations, the King County Maritime Economic Forecast Breakfast, the Fisherman of the Year contest, a career day for students, performances by Fisher Poets, and a special Fishermen’s Lounge in addition to its hundreds of exhibitors. Over 6,000 visitors perused the goods, gear, and gadgets at last year’s event, and Event Director for Diversified Communications (the Expo’s producers) Denielle Christensen is hopeful once again for this year. “With the continued growth and strength of the West Coast fishing and workboat industries," She states, "We expect another outstanding year in 2018.” This year’s theme is “Just Add Water,” because as Christensen explains, “the show offers everything for those in the commercial fishing and marine industries under one roof. She continues, “If you make your living on the water, you just can’t afford to miss this show.” If you’re wondering whether or not you should exhibit, think about the 6,000-plus visitors from last year’s event and ask yourself, “Do I just need to add water?” If you’re interested in exhibiting, contact Chris Dimmerling, sales director, at cdimmerling@divcom.com or 207842-5666.

Port of Port Townsend Executive Director Sam Gibboney announced her resignation on August 15, leaving current in-house counsel and planning director Eric Toews as named acting executive director, pending a search for her replacement. Gibboney has served as executive director since June 7, 2016. Toews has been a full-time senior staff member since 2011 and was previously a contractor with the port. He will begin acting as executive director immediately. "It’s a fulfillment of a legal responsibility.” Toews stated. “Director Gibboney did an exceptional job for the port and we’re appreciative,” Toews said. Gibboney thanked the port for the opportunity but felt that it was time for a new executive director to make progress on challenges facing the port. The letter of recommendation from the port thanked Gibboney again and stated; “To be clear, the port commission recognizes Sam Gibboney the tenure of a change agent for an organization can be limited. You have served as that change agent and we are in a significantly better position.” Other parties, like the Port Townsend Marine Trades Association stated they are looking forward to help the port through the transition; “PTMTA is focused on the practical work of supporting our port commissioners in working on the critical issues and sustainability of the port,” said spokesperson Pam Petranek. Northwest Maritime Center executive director Jake Beattie said: “We regret that this ended up not being a good fit for Sam, but we have a long standing, productive relationship with Mr. Toews and are encouraged by the commission choosing him as acting director.” The port will soon be taking steps to find an interim executive director.

Letters We here at Northwest Yachting love hearing from our readers. Below are a few correspondences we’ve received. If you’ve got two cents to share, feel free to send us a snail mail letter to Northwest Yachting Magazine, 7342 15th Ave NW, Seattle, Washington, or an email to editorial@nwyachting.com.
Discharge Zone Dispair Dear Northwest Yachting, The Washington Department of Ecology [is] changing the rules again. The entire Puget Sound was suddenly deemed a No Discharge Zone for vessels, don’t fret, land people may still flush to their hearts content. The ruling effects a few thousand vessels previously equipped with very expensive Marine Sanitation Devices (MSD).The fine is $10,000 a day if a vessel owner does what Puget Sound municipal water treatment plants do twenty-four/seven. We didn’t have much time to think about it, we had to act immediately. We now have four new tanks above decks and a big one in our old truck. It costs a small fortune to haul our treated wastewater to a pump-out facility. Our USCG certified MSD conforms to, no, actually exceeds national EPA standards. The standards Puget Sound wastewater treatment plants find difficult to meet. On many days they don’t and on those days your home’s raw poo is going directly into Puget Sound. From now on our already treated wastewater is adding to the burden and more poo is going to overflow. So good going Washington Department of Ecology, they thought about that... right? Even the Governor signed off on it... These United States are a Republic. We have principles, forgotten or ignored. One is the Fourteenth Amendment that asserts EQUAL Treatment under the law. If they do this to Karie and I, eventually they will get to you. They think they are leaders, they’re not, they’re merely representatives and they need to be reminded. I hope you have a wonderful summer! Happy swimming! —Rick & Karie NWY: Hello Rick and Karie, thank you so much for writing us about this topic that certainly affects our community. For those in need of a refresher, as of April 10, 2018, it is illegal for those with certain Marine Sanitation Devices (MSDs) to dump treated waste into Puget Sound (a reminder that dumping black water has always been illegal). These vessels now require holding tanks that they can empty when they reach a pump-out station. You bring to light some undeniable claims. Thanks to avid boaters and readers like you, these letters add to the voice of the community and play a large part in accomplishing change. Thank you for continuing the conversation!
Rad R2AK (Selected comment from NWYachting.com) I thoroughly enjoyed every sentence in this article [R2AK 2018 A Revolutionary Fourth, August 2018 issue]. I am so glad that the managing editor of this magazine [Norris Comer] was able to participate in the R2AK so we could get this racer's perspective from him! Thanks. —Karen Wyman, Port Townsend NWY: Anything for a story! Thank you for the positive feedback, Karen. Months have passed since the race and I’m still in perpetual awe of the R2AK phenomenon and the hardworking folks at the Northwest Maritime Center who make it all happen. They and all R2AK racers are true incarnations of the human spirit. It was an honor to be a part of it. Skål!

Bertram New 35 A new build for a classic line, the Bertram 35 is essentially a slightly larger, modern take on the beloved Bertram 31 that debuted at the 1961 New York National Boat Show. Largely thought to be the first boat design with the now-ubiquitous Deep-V hull, the part day boat, part sport fisher lead the way for what most people think of when they imagine a modern fiberglass motor boat. Flash forward to today, and the Bertram 35 has much of the appeal of its forebearer with all the modern touches. Now this East Coast icon has made her way to our western waters. Upon approach, the 35 is very similar to the classic 31 with an open flybridge complete with the vintage curvy aesthetic. The flybridge hosts the only helm aboard, so the skipper will be up there quite a bit. Three seats, arranged bench-style, allows comfortable space for crew looking for a view. From the flybridge one travels down a short set of steps to the huge cockpit, a

true behemoth for a boat this size. If you’re a fisherman (for whom the line is clearly catering to) you’ll enjoy all the working space, lift-out fish boxes built into the sole, and a live well integrated into the transom. You should be well-equipped to chase whatever quarry you’re targeting. If you’re not into fishing, the cockpit can easily be converted into a seating area via the traditional raised engine boxes with sun pads. Raised engine boxes are definitely a blast from the past and far less common with modern builders. Aboard the 35 they work though, and using them as integrated seating is very clever. As far as engine access is concerned, the raised boxes also score points with do-it-yourself mechanics. One definitely moves out of the 1960’s and into the 2010’s when inside the cabin. The interior is spacious, bright, and modern with tasteful holly and teak woodwork. The dinette converts into a berth as needed and a private stateroom is forward. The single
head is equipped with a shower. Overall, it feels like a good setup for weekending with a family or a handful of fishing buddies. What’s a sport boat without a spring in its step? The guts of the 35 are a pair of Caterpillar C7.1 inboard diesel engines that each pack 250-horsepower (500 horsepower total). Top speeds of around 35 knots are reported with more typical cruising speeds between 25 to 30 knots. Especially for island hopping in Puget Sound or chasing salmon upriver, this kind of performance will be appreciated by skippers with places to be. This boat is truly one-of-a-kind with a cult following for a reason. If interested in the Bertram 35, you can contact the local dealer Nordic Yachts Northwest. The broker is even working with the design team at Bertram to make Northwest-adapted models another option to inquire about. Listed base price is $795,000.

Hatteras M60 The 2018 Hatteras M60 is a midsized luxury yacht with a big yacht attitude, perhaps out of necessity as the smallest of Hatteras’ motoryacht lineup. As with many luxury motoryachts, a big draw is the interior, and the M60’s is palatial. The large salon features a gathering space with ample seating upon entry from the cockpit, and up a single step and forward is another dining area with the galley to starboard. There’s no helm to fit in here, and the entire level from covered cockpit space aft with half-moon transom seating to the galley forward is 100 percent for entertaining purposes.
To find the berths, one follows a set of forward stairs below where three enclosed staterooms and two enclosed heads with showers are standard. The master suite is fullbeam and very large. To find the helm, one needs to wander up to the enclosed flybridge via a set of stairs from the cockpit area. Twin captain’s chairs, a dining table with seating, and dinette galley will ensure the skipper need not watch the wheel alone. Additional design features of note include the swim step and generous lounging accommodations on the foredeck. The M60 is powered by twin Cat-C18A diesel engines (1,000
horsepower each) and has a 21.5 kW diesel generator as standard with other options available. The 2018 Hatteras M60 is a modern luxury motoryacht through and through from a popular brand.
If you’re on the market for a yacht of this family, the M60 should probably be on your short list. Contact local dealer Stan Miller Yachts for pricing and additional information.

Lagoon 40 Among the mid-sized luxury sailing catamarans on the market today is the French-built Lagoon 40, which has now arrived to Seattle docks. The newest addition to the Lagoon family, the 40 boosts a host of design tweaks that make it a worthy evolution of the line. Aesthetically, the 40 looks a lot like her sistership, the Lagoon 50. Rectangular wraparound windows and a coachroof define the cabin, and long portholes run across much of the twin hulls. A composite bimini top covers the elevated helm, a novel layout that gives the skipper and a friend or two a commanding view of the foredeck, which is the place to be on a nice day. The foredeck is huge (we are talking about a catamaran after all), and space for a long sun lounger is allotted near the front of the cabin athwartship. The trampoline is open and free of clutter. The cockpit is
also large and entertainment focused. As far as rigging evolutions go, the 40 has a more aft mast that allows for a larger foresail than previous Lagoon models. Additionally, the model is compatible with self-taking jibs and a wider selection of downwind sails, like a Code 0. The greater options of sail plans could be why many describe this build as agile and versatile.
Inside, there are a few layout options ranging from three to four cabins and two to four heads. The standard engine package is a pair of 29-horsepower diesels. If you’re a catamaran fan, the Lagoon 40 looks to have all the luxury fixings with nippier performance than the average cat of this kind. If interested, you can contact the local dealer Marine Servicenter.

Carver C40 Command Bridge Both 2018 and 2019 models of the Carver C40 Command Bridge are available on the West Coast, and these mid-sized luxury motoryachts have a lot to offer couples or families who want to cruise in style. The C40’s design and name draw focus to the prominent fl ybridge (command bridge), made to give the skipper and guests a commanding view of the surroundings.
Covered by a hard top and shielded with a plexiglass wind deflector, the bridge threads the needle between completely enclosed and open philosophies. There’s also a ton of seating and a second helm chair for hanging out, and a large padded sunlounge area aft, positioned out of the protection of the hardtop. The railings are a good touch for safety and stability when

underway. Access to and from the bridge is via a set of steps from the cockpit. The cockpit is partially covered by an overhang from the bridge and features half-moon transom seating with access to the large swim step. Walkways with high railings lead to the foredeck from both port and starboard. The foredeck is large enough for a few people to enjoy the ride and feel the wind on their faces. Inside, dark wood highlights make for a sophisticate aura. There’s no helm here, so the salon and galley have free reign to dominate the space. A set of stairs forward leads to the two staterooms below, a guest with twin berths and the master with a queen-sized bed. The C40 is pushed by a single Cummins QSB 6.7 380-horsepower inboard diesel engine. Curious about the Carver C40 Command Bridge? Contact West Coast dealer Alexander Marine USA for more details.

Rozema 37-LC As a recreational boater, you would be forgiven for not being intimately acquainted with Bayview, Washington-based Rozema Boat Works. Primarily an aluminum and commercial builder, Rozema’s portfolio includes commercial fishing boats, oil spill response boats, pilot boats, tugs, research vessels, and more. However, this over 60-year-old Pacific Northwest company offers a rugged, ready for Cascadia line of recreational boats as well. Enter the Rozema 37-LC, touted as the ultimate Northwest sport boat. The LC in the name stands for landing craft, a major design focus of the build. Part spot cruiser and part coastal invader, the 37 has a deployable bow platform. This platform opens to create a giant ramp, 72” wide, to unleash your passengers, bikes, ATVs, the dogs, and more upon new lands. Built out of commercial grade aluminum,
this rugged craft also packs an enclosed head with shower, full galley, dining area, and sleeping accommodations for five. The semi-covered cockpit also features integrated seating for hanging out on nice days. Aesthetically, the cabin has that classic Pacific Northwest forward-attack angle. The 37 is meant to deliver your payload of fun to shore, rain or shine. The 37 is also a speedster with triple 300-horsepower Suzuki outboard engines
mounted to the transom. According to the manufacturer, the 900 horses push the 37 at a nippy 32 knots of cruising speed and a maximum speed of 42 knots. Also included is a Wesmar 8” bow thruster, Kohler 5kWgenerator, and SeaKeep Gyro Stabilizer. It’s hard to imagine a boat that screams Pacific Northwest adventure harder than the Washington-built Rozema 37-LC. If interested, contact Rozema Boat Works. Base price listed as $750,000.

Take to the Sky Flyboard® by Zapata
Kids for decades have hoped that soon, any time now, a real jet pack would be invented and find its way under the Christmas tree. Sadly, technology isn’t quite there yet, but coming close is the Flyboard; the latest invention in water sports. It looks like a snowboard but with a large hose protruding from the center that leads down to the body of water and lets the rider fly through the air dozens of feet up. Attaching to the stern of a personal water craft (PWC), the Flyboard uses the thrust from the PWC to launch its rider into the air. Water is diverted through the 55’ hose to the board, and then is forcefully projected downward through two nozzles, lifting the board. The attached PWC follows closely behind as its thrust is simply being redirected, meaning you are not tethered to any one spot.
Simply strap your feet onto the board using the built-in boots, swim a distance from your PWC, position the buoyant board beneath you, and hang on. The standard set-up requires a second person on the PWC to control the thrust of the vehicle, and by extension the height of the board, but an optional handheld remote allows the rider to control the board themselves. There’s a learning curve, and most new riders will start by rising just a few feet out of the water. But after a few hours of practice, Flyboard riders will be able to hover as much as 40’ above the water’s surface. A few more hours after that, and experienced pilots will be doing tricks like spinning in place and may even graduate to back flips and barrel rolls. When you get bored of soaring like a bird, you can dive through the water like a fish.
The Flyboard works just as well under the water, allowing a rider to glide effortlessly while submerged. The basic Flyboard package comes with the board, hose, and attachments needed to connect it, but a few optional accessories like the remote control and quick change nozzle can really enhance the experience. Compatible with most name brand PWC’s, like Seadoo, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Honda, the Flyboard works best with water craft with a 130 hp motor or more, but can be operated by crafts with as low horsepower as 100. Flyboards are available to rent by the hour in some cities if you’d like to try before you buy. Starting at about $2,200. If you’d like to see what it feels like to fly above and below the water, visit zapata.com and pick up a Flyboard.
Beach to-go, Please TerraSphere Terrarium
Fall is upon us, and it’s no joke here in the Pacific Northwest. SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) takes over once the sun disappears behind our overcast skies for months on end. Suddenly, we would do anything to have the slightest taste of a warm, nautical escape. TerraSphere has found a temporary cure to the dark seasons: a nautical beach terrarium. TerraSphere Terrariums come in all shapes and sizes, from lighthouse dwellings to cherry blossom hills, but the one that stands out to us the most here at Northwest Yachting is the Sailboat Terrarium. A 11" tall x 6" wide (with the lid), round, clear glass apothecary jar features sand, river rocks, realistic water, petrified wood, a sailboat, and a background of live sphagnum moss and peat moss that mimics a scene straight out of the tropics. It truly is a portable glimpse into paradise.
46 NORTHWEST YACHTING || SEPTEMBER 2018
The Sailboat Terrarium arrives fully assembled; just spritz it with a little water to bring the mossy mounds to life. It’s low-maintenance, needing only an occasional spray of filtered water from the spray bottle every two to three days, and must be kept out of direct sunlight. Detailed instructions and spray bottle are included. Whenever you need a little island getaway but you’re stuck at your desk, stare into the green and blue escape of this sailboat-themed terrarium and imagine hoisting the sail of that tiny vessel to conquer SAD. If you prop up a Vitamin D lamp, throw on some shades, and make yourself a Pina Colada, you’re basically cruising in the Bahamas. Visit the TerraSphere Terrarium store online at etsy.com/shop/terrasphereterrarium to purchase yours for $47.

The World is Your Waterbed Shoal Tent
Whether it’s a lake, a river, an ocean, or a bay, us nautical-types want to be out there on it. But the truth of the matter is, there are quite a few places that remain inaccessible to boats. Sure, you could camp on the shore of a mountain lake, but we’re used to the buoyant rocking of the water putting us to sleep. The good news is that sleeping on the water without your vessel isn’t as far-fetched as it may seem. The Shoal Tent is an inflatable floating raft NWYachting_Fall2017_Print.pdf 1 9/8/17 1:37 PM with a tent topper that allows you to sleep
on any water surface—a pond, a salt water flat, a creek, or eddy. The Shoal Tent can be almost anywhere. This 8’ by 8’ on-water tent can house people up to 6’3” tall, is completely inflatable (no tent poles needed), and combats high winds like nobody’s business. The body of the raft has three air chambers, the bottom is a 6” thick high-pressure, drop-stitched floor that doubles as an air mattress. The fabric of the tent is waterproof and heavy duty, sealed with #8 zippers.
Each tent side can be removed as you please with hook and loop functionality. When the fun is over and it’s time to head home, roll it up into a 60”x 24”x 18” burrito, throw it in the back of your car and take off. The tent’s total weight is approximately 130 pounds, so a buddy system is encouraged. The Shoal Tent comes with a storage bag, patch kit, and a manual foot pump. The world is your waterbed, so what are you waiting for? You can purchase your Shoal Tent online at smithfly.myshopify.com for $1,499.

Keepin' Cool Kinto CAPSULE Cold Brew Carafe Make a delicious cold brew and then sip it in the CAPSULE Cold Brew Carafe by Kinto. Simply place ground coffee or tea leaves into the attached CAPSULE filter, fix the inner and outer lids, add cold water, and let it steep for a mouthful of unique flavors and a smooth taste. Cold brew coffee is brewed in cold water rather than hot. You might be thinking, “obviously,” but because it’s brewed cold, fewer tannins and caffeine are extracted from the grind, resulting in a less bitter taste than hot brewed coffee—one of the reasons this delicious beverage is so popular. Cold brew tea is
another trendy beverage with a similar process. This carafe holds 33.8 ounces and measures 3.3" by 10.6". The bottle features heat-resistant glass and is microwave and dishwasher safe. The carafe’s lid is ABS resin, stainless steel, and silicone, and is also dishwasher safe along with the inner lid and filter. The lid of the CAPSULE opens when the carafe tilts for easy pouring from any direction. Kinto ships in one-to-five-days with ten days to change your mind, and free delivery for all orders over $75. Purchase yours at kintostore.com for $33.

You’ve Been Served Nautical Cleat Serving Boards Nothing adds panache to a delectable appetizer like a tasteful serving board. The Double-Cleat Serving Board’s sleek and sturdy design by Soundview Millworks would be a terrific addition to any galley. Soundview Millworks uses high-quality maple and mahogany wood, known for tight grain pattern
and durability, for their long-lasting handmade creations. You can’t go wrong with natural wood in the Pacific Northwest, and the 5” cleats add a nautical touch — one aspect that will never go out of style on the water. At 7 ¾” by 20”, this serving board is meant to optimize space in tight areas.
52 NORTHWEST YACHTING || SEPTEMBER 2018
You can choose to customize your Nautical Cleat Serving Board with a laser-engraved vessel name, a compass rose, or whatever cutting surface design you’d like. Soundview Millworks’ pieces are all USA-made and are only shipped after they’re carefully inspected for any minor scratches or imperfections. Their production and finishing processes are fine-tuned. The first step is to create an initial design out of American maple and Santos mahogany, then the board is dampened to raise the grain pattern. Once dried, it's sanded and three coats of mineral oil are applied to the board, fully saturating the pores and protecting the board from staining, moisture, bacteria, etc. To care for your serving board, Kinto recommends keep-
ing it coated with mineral oil, or if you’re truly dedicated, beeswax. The wax helps to keep the board’s pores sealed while giving off a natural luster. The rule of thumb is: if it looks dry, coat on the oil. Avoid vegetable and olive oils. Lastly, Soundview Millworks says to never put your board in the dishwasher. Simply wipe with soap and water to clean and towel dry after washing. If staining occurs, use lemon and salt. Store in a dry place. Other water-inspired designs are available if you’re not the biggest cleat fan. If you’re more about the fishing scene, choose their fish handle design. A fan of whales? They have whale handles too! Multiple designs with various handles are available online at soundviewmillworks.com from $70.

Kick Out the Jams Fusion Apollo Series Audio Systems When a company is so bold as to invoke mankind’s epic journey to the moon and the Greek god of music with the name of its newest line of products, we are naturally curious. Fusion Entertainment, known in the boating sphere for its audio entertainment systems, has recently released their newest Apollo Series of onboard audio systems that show off impressive modern features. The series is comprised of two models, the MS-SRX400 and the MS-RA770. Touted by the manufacturer as the world’s first marine Wi-Fi stereos, the Apollo Series incorporates audio streaming via proper wireless internet technology. True Wi-Fi capability should offer a higher data transfer rate and be compatible with a wider array of other devices than traditional non-Wi-Fi, Bluetooth-centric devices. The Wi-Fi capabilities are used to communicate with multiple speakers via the Fusion PartyBus multisource system. PartyBus allows for specific control of individual speakers so the refined guests at the dining table in the cockpit can listen to Mozart and the party animals on the foredeck can listen
to the Luis Fonsi’s Despacito at the same time. The Apollo Series is also compatible with a swath of other communication systems including: Fusion NRX remotes, MFDs using NMEA 2000 or Ethernet, mobile apps via Bluetooth, and the ANT wireless tech found in some Garmin watches. Another first for this series is the touchscreen interface on the 770, a reported first for integrated marine audio systems. The design and user experience is simple and intuitive; and if you’re curious, play with a demo model at your local dealer. The Digital Sound Processing (DSP) is another much-touted benefit of the Apollo Series by Fusion, but again, it’s one of those things that’s best experimented with in person. If all it’s cracked up to be, the DSP should improve sound quality and eliminate any weird noises when switching speakers. Overall, DSP should be a passive improvement to the overall audio experience and eliminate any distortion. To take full advantage of the tech, the user will probably utilize the Fusion-Link app. With the app in hand, one can control the
entire PartyBus system, use and adjust DSP features, install software updates wirelessly, and generally assume the role of omnipresent nautical DJ. A large yacht may very well have an onboard system of multiple 770s and 400s strategically installed throughout the vessel. Both stereos are compact and tough with IPX7-rated water-resistant panels that have been tested for salt, fog, temperature, vibration, and UV exposure. Fusion systems are generally known to hold up well on the water, and these newest models should be no exception. Tunes can make a good boat trip a great boat trip, and Fusion seems to be at the front of the marine audio systems pack at the time of this writing. The Apollo Series, both the MS-SRX400 and MS-RA770, appear to be a technologic step forward for the industry as promised. If interested, check out fusionentertainment.com to learn more or locate your nearest dealer. The MS-SRX400 retails for $349 and the MS-RA700 retails for $649.
The Fusion Apollo Series audio system is widely considered the first marine Wi-Fi stereo. One can combine it with the Fusion PartyBus multisource system for the complete Fusion experience.

The Seafair Salute Among the impressive seagoing vessels drawn to Seafair are the US Navy ships, often seen cruising by on Elliott Bay for the celebration. What's more, the ships are opened to the public for tours that provide behind-the-scenes glimpses of Navy life. Here we see the USS Momsen that was docked at Pier 90 in downtown Seattle this year with the USS Somerset. The Canadian Navy’s HMCS Yellowknife and HMCS Whitehorse were also open to the public at Pier 69 for tours. Launched in 2003, the USS Momsen (DDG 92) is an Arleigh Burkeclass guided missile destroyer. At 508.5’ in length and weighing 9,200 tons, she packs a lot of firepower. The USS Momsen is pretty quick too with a maximum reported cruising speed of 32 knots. We may just have to hop aboard for a boat review for our Arrivals section. Stay tuned.

Kevin’s Catch By Kevin Klein
Chase That Fish September means salmon are either already in their river migration, or very close. Large numbers of Chinook will still be arriving from the ocean to the saltwater bays, estuaries, and rivers of Northern California, Oregon, and Washington. Kings should also be available near shore in spots like the Canadian Gulf Islands. This is also a big month for coho fishing in the salt where regulations allow. One big added bonus this year is that Washington’s Marine Area 7, also known as the San Juan Islands, will be open to retention of unclipped coho through September. This should provide a very fun fishery. These spinning saltwater silvers are a blast to fight, and they smoke or cook up just fine. Some fish-fighting fun before football? I’ll take it! As always, make sure and study the regulations for any area where you plan to fish. Also check for the emergency closures on the websites of the agency having jurisdiction over the waters you will be in. In September, near shore opportunities and river fishing for salmon can be very good. August saw productive

angling for silvers and kings in the Buoy 10 fishery of the Columbia River. If you’ve never fished the Big River, or are still trying to unlock its secrets, going with a guide is a great way to learn. Fishing may be closed in the lower river by the time you read this, but upriver opportunities are still going. A mix of Chinook and coho can make this a fun and productive experience. Out in the salt water, you’ll have the option to catch some of the largest kings of the year in September. For Chinook, the productive methods are pretty simple. Most folks will be downrigger trolling. Larger spoons and hootchies behind a flasher just flat out catch these fish. It’s hard to beat a herring or anchovy in a bait helmet as well. However, they are more susceptible to dogfish, so if you’re catching sharks you may want to switch to hardware. If you’re out on the water early, put your offering down at 30’ to 60’ and try shallow first. The kings may be up in the top of the water column. As the sun comes up, they will move down deeper. Keep dropping until you find them. Use your sounder or fish finder and look for fish arches. As Chinook get closer to river mouths, jigging weighted lures such as Buzz Bombs or Point Wilson Darts can be productive. The fish may be feeding less, but they’ll hit these out of aggression. Time to fire up the smoker! Get those treats ready for the football game! For coho, start shallow in the water column and troll a bit faster. However, don’t resist dropping your downrigger balls to depths of 120’ and beyond. I’ve caught a lot of big silvers down at 130’ plus. Also, look for deeper water further from shore for these fish. If you see the tide creating a rip, troll just outside this line in the water to find the fish. I don’t get too concerned about what I’m trolling. Spoons and hootchies will both work. When coho go on the bite, they’ll hit just about anything. A fun method out in the ocean or straits is to troll a bucktail fly a short ways back, right on the surface near the prop wash. Having a crazed, cartwheeling coho blastin’ on a bucktail is a giggle producer for sure! Another good tip this month is to make sure and study your salmon descriptions, you should be able to identify different species quickly in case you need to release them. Continued on Page 96 A lifelong resident of Washington State, Kevin Klein has been on the rivers, lakes, and salt waters of the Pacific Northwest since conception. 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
Killers in Trouble; Boaters Next? The Last Generation. That is the title of the local Fox affiliate’s story on the crisis facing the population of Southern Resident Killer Whales. Only 75 whales exist as part of the J, K, and L pods as of June 2018. And maybe the “last generation” isn’t too far off. By now, you have seen the awful story of the Southern Resident Killer Whale carrying her dead calf around the west coast of San Juan Island. Not only is it heartbreaking but it also brings more attention to Governor Jay Inlsee’s 44-person Southern Resident Killer Whale Task Force, which includes NMTA’s President George Harris and recreational angler Ron Garner. This group will meet four times around the state. Plus, there are subcommittees in place to further drill down on three areas that affect the health of whales. These groups are looking at toxins, vessel noise, and the lack of salmon, the killer whale’s main food source. All three topics interface with boating one way or another, and it’s crucial that we boaters have representation. It’s too early to see what will ultimately come from this group, which wraps up on October 1, but I can tell you that Governor Inslee is looking to this cross-section of Washington state’s civic and elected leaders for guidance and direction. And let’s just say there are some pretty heavy decisions ahead of them. The list includes reducing the number of pinnipeds (that’s a fancy word for seals and sea lions) in Puget Sound, which gorge themselves on salmon. Not to be outdone, there’s talk about the role of hydroelectric power and the benefits of overflow spills in the Columbia River. That’s cover for talking about dam removal along the Snake River, the Columbia River’s largest tributary. Then there’s Chinook salmon. Hatchery production, long-heralded for saving recreational fishing in the Northwest, might be the answer (although some science indicates that these whales prefer wild Chinook), but if the hatchery number gets too high, implications arise with an Endangered Species Actlisted Chinook population. Speaking of the Endangered Species Act and wild Chinook, did you know that our state allows gillnetters to indiscriminately kill wild Chinook while they go about their catches? Recreational anglers can target hatcheryproduced salmon – they return wild Chinook and keep the clipped adipose-finned, hatchery-produced salmon. The tribes and commercial anglers, when they go about using gillnets capture everything that gets tangled up in those nets. And as long as Rep. Brian Blake from the Ilwaco area runs his committee in Olympia, the commercial anglers will have a champion in place to protect their interests. And the list keeps growing and gets closer to home when it comes to the type of gear on a recreational boat. Another topic that’s picked up steam in this task force is the amount of noise put off by your boat. Whales are

susceptible to transducer responders on vessels. It will be interesting to see how recreational vessels compare with the behemoth Washington state ferry fleet. There’s also the current closure to the west side of San Juan Island to recreational boats, but not tribal or commercial vessels. If I seem apprehensive that this group will come up with a bold, systems-thinking approach to their conclusion, it might be because I’ve seen this movie before. The list is long and the grey hairs are many. Whether it’s targeting recreational boats (and businesses) with Seattle’s fetish with bike lanes over marine interests, or reducing the amount of drawbridge openings in Seattle, or the No Discharge Zone, I know all too well what happens when good intentions meet immediate deadlines. Add a quarter cup of influentials, who have nothing to do Washington State is on the move to with recreational boating, save its orca populations through and it’s easy to see how efforts like the No-Discharge Zone, boating closures in the San Juans, limiting access, funding, and preserving wild Chinook. and ease of recreational boating can occur. On the flip side of my cynicism, I am very encouraged to see what’s happening as the National Electrical Code for 2020 gets developed. Thankfully, we have a voice on this code-development panel and we have Washington’s stake in the ground that 100 milliamps for an entire facility is safe. You may remember that Washington pushed back at Labor & Industries; convened multiple meetings; and provided data to them that 30 milliamps is neither realistic or any safer than 100 milliamps (especially in salt water). This important work took hold both in the Evergreen State and spread to a national panel in Washington, D.C. As On Watch observes a current hot issue (orcas) and looks at an ongoing debate (the National Electrical Code), I want to end this column with a newish issue for boaters to bookmark. While you may hear about the current administration reducing regulatory burdens, there’s a movement afoot within the National Marine Fisheries Service to drag out (or even flat-out reject) permits for fixes to current docks and marinas. I’m in the “learning more” phase on this issue, but talk about an issue that impacts us all!

Galley Gourmet By Bill Shaw
A Taste of the San Juan County Fair Each year in mid-August I trade in my white chef toque for a cowboy hat as the San Juan County Livestock Superintendent. Housing and feeding chickens, rabbits, lamb, goats, pigs, and cows from all the San Juan Islands can be a daunting task, but with the help of 4-H youth and parents, we put on a great show for the thousands of guests that come each year. Each year I look forward to the new food trucks that show up, but I must admit that I have developed a predictable pattern of eating. This involves quick meals that I can eat on the run, and the corn dog is high on the list, but not the frozen kind that they sell in the stores. My ultimate corn dog is an all-beef frank pierced with a wood stick, dipped in fresh corn batter and fried crisp, then painted with French’s yellow mustard. The barbeque pork ribs with sweet and tangy sauce and the Thai noodle shack

are some of my favorites, but for dessert I pass on the elephant ears and head straight to the PTA pie booth. Each day, these dedicated moms turn out some of the most amazing pies and cobblers; Bluebarb (a combination of rhubarb and blueberries), lavender-scented peach, front porch blackberry, and heavenly apple with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. While I did not give you my corn dog recipe this month, I wanted to share some mouthwatering recipes inspired by the fair and all the wonderful people that make it so special. Bill Shaw is the head chef of Roche Harbor Resort and Marina of San Juan Island. Shaw has worked at Roche since 1993. He loves utilizing local ingredients and takes full advantage of the area’s seasonal goods.
Chop Chop Noodle Salad Makes 4 Entrée Salads
Each year, guests eagerly await the opening the Madrona Bar and Grill and one of the most requested items is the Chop Chop Noodle salad. This salad was inspired by my late-night craving for leftover Chinese take-out chow mien.
The noodles are an essential
ingredient — as is the miso vinaigrette — in this salad and are made locally at Seattle’s Tsue Chong Company and available in Asian specialty stores. One morning, I was
2 cups romaine hearts, chopped into 1-½” pieces ½ cup Napa cabbage, sliced ¼” ½ cup purple cabbage, sliced 1⁄4” 1⁄4 cup cilantro finely chopped ½ cup carrots, peeled and grated fine ½ cup asparagus spears cut into 3” lengths ½ cup crimini mushrooms, sliced ¼” 2 cups Hong Kong noodles, steamed and tossed in olive oil 10 ounces miso vinaigrette (see recipe)
Directions: In a large bowl combine romaine, Napa cabbage, purple cabbage, cilantro, carrots, asparagus, mushrooms, Hong Kong noodles, and miso vinaigrette. Gently toss the ingredients and coat with the miso vinaigrette. Divide the dressed greens and noodles equally onto four chilled dinner plates. Build the height of the salad up like a volcano. Top the center salad with the shrimp, crab, and chicken. Arrange the avocado around the outer edge of the salad. Garnish with almonds, cilantro, and Shoga ginger.

a very popular salad. “SALAD,” she yelled and laughed at the thought of it. As I explained our noodle salad to her, she looked at me with complete confusion at the thought of such a thing, but thanked me for buying her noodles. During the summer we go through almost 300 lbs. of these fabulous noodles each week.

6 ounces chicken breast meat, sliced ¼”strips 6 ounces fresh Dungeness crab meat 6 ounces shrimp, 75-100 count per pound 1 each avocado cut into ¾ inch cubes 2 tablespoons almonds, slivered and toasted 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped 1 tablespoon Shoga pickled ginger (bright red grated pickled ginger)
1 teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper, table ground ¼ cup water, ice cold ½ cup peanut oil
Directions: Dissolve miso in vinegar and reserve. Combine and mix together the sugar and egg yolks in a separate bowl and reserve. Using a food processor, combine and blend together the misovinegar mixture, sugar-egg yolk mix, black pepper, kosher salt and water. While food processor is running, slowly pour peanut oil into processing miso mixture until dressing is emulsified or has become thick, creamy and a consistent light golden color.
Huckleberry Barbeque Baby Back Ribs Serves 4
4 lbs. baby back pork ribs 4 pints dark beer 1 cup Frank’s Original Red-hot Sauce®
1 cup brown sugar ¼ cup kosher salt
Huckleberry Barbeque Sauce
The sauce for these ribs was originally served over grilled oysters at weddings and marina events but when we served the sauce over braised baby back ribs, it was an instant favorite. The key ingredient is the illusive wild Olympic Peninsula Huckleberry, which give the sauce a fruity and acidic wine flavor. Growing up in Alaska, I learned about hundreds of varieties of wild berries that made the store-bought berries seem flavorless, but these dark purple little berries are pound for pound the most flavorful I have ever tasted. Our former Head Gardener James Farrell calls me each year in late September to give me the latest huckleberry report, “Bill, the berries are getting ripe and they are amazing and I think we are going to be able to pick in a week or two.” Unfortunately, in years past, the simultaneous ripening of the berries and the brewing of foul weather off the coast has created the most imperfect storm that destroyed the promise of huckleberries in our freezer and the creation of this very special barbeque sauce.
1 tablespoon butter 2 tablespoons garlic, minced 2⁄3 cup onion, chopped fine ½ each orange, quartered with peel ½ each lemon, quartered with peel ½ each lime, quartered with peel 1 ¼ cup ketchup 2⁄3 cup chili sauce ¼ cup apple cider vinegar ¼ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons unsulphered molasses 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper ½ teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon black pepper, ground 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped fine ½ cup wild blue huckleberries (can be substituted with black currents)
Directions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove the tough membrane (peritoneum) from the inside of the ribs or ask you butcher to do the work. Using a sharp boning knife, score the inside of the ribs in a diagonal pattern to form a diamond pattern of slices about 1” apart. This will help break down any tough parts. Combine all other ingredients in a shallow roasting pan and place prepared ribs in pan. The liquid should cover the ribs, if not, use a smaller pan or increase the liquid amount. Cover with foil and place in a 450-degree oven for two hours or until the pork meat starts to pull away from the bone. For sauce, place a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat and add butter. When butter is melted, add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until tender. Juice the orange, lemon and lime into the pan. Add the peels to the pan as well. Add the remaining ingredients except the huckleberries and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours. Remove ribs from liquid and place on a baking sheet and allow to cool for twenty minutes. Cover warm ribs with Huckleberry Barbeque Sauce, coating all sides. Place sauced ribs and remaining sauce in refrigerator until ready to grill (best if allowed to hang out in the refrigerator until the next day). When ready to serve your guest preheat your outdoor grill to medium and season grill with vegetable oil. Place chilled sauced ribs on grill, rotating every 2-3 minutes to give the ribs dark caramelized marks on all sides. When heated through, remove from grill and baste with more Huckleberry Barbeque Sauce, then place back on the grill and char the sauced ribs, but be careful not to burn the sauce. The charring or caramelizing of the sauced ribs adds a sweet smoky flavor. Cut into single riblets and serve as an appetizer or serve half-rack as an entrée.
Fresh Island Berry Cobbler 1-½ cup flour, all purpose 1-1/2 Tablespoons baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda 1 pinch kosher salt ½ cup, butter, unsalted 1 cup buttermilk 2 quarts blackberries, fresh or frozen
2 cups sugar, granulated 1 cup strawberries sliced 1 cup raspberries 1 cup blueberries 2 Tablespoons Chambord 1 Tablespoon Grand Marnier ¼ cup cornstarch
In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed. Cut butter into ¼-inch cubes and keep refrigerated until ready to use. Add cold butter cubes to dry mixture, and mix until butter is the size of chickpeas. Note: You still want to see small chunks of butter. Add buttermilk and mix just until the dough comes together. Allow to rest. Using a large heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat, add blackberries and sugar, bring to a slow boil. In a small bowl combine Chambord, Grand Marnier and cornstarch, then add to boiling berries. Allow to thicken, then remove from the heat and add fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.
Blackberries do not make the best pies but they are
Using a 10-ounce baking dish, add 4 oz. of blackberry mixture to each baking dish, then top each cobbler with the cobbler dough mixture by tearing bits of the dough into irregular shapes, creating an irregular pattern of dough that covers the entire top of the baking dish.

Top each cobbler with 2 tablespoons of random splashes of the berry mixture. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over the top of each cobbler. Place cobblers on a sheet pan and bake in a 350-degree oven for 20 minutes or until the cobbler dough is fully cooked. Test by inserting a toothpick into the cooked dough. If it comes out clean, the cobblers are ready. Serve hot from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

FREEDOM
The flotilla-style charter offers the freedom and independence of solo barebones chartering while providing support, structure, and community. Wo r d s & P H oto s : N o r r i s Co m e r
66 NORTHWEST YACHTING || SEPTEMBER 2018
Pop open your trusty dictionary and flotilla is defined broadly as a fleet of ships. Dust off that neglected thesaurus, and synonyms include armada, squadron, and argosy. However, the term flotilla in the sphere of recreational chartering refers to a specific kind of experience. Straddling the categories of solo barebones chartering and more curated experiences with a hired skipper or a cruise ship, the flotilla model can offer the best of both worlds.
P
Of course, like all charters, there’s an element of freedom in that you don’t have to spend a year and a large pile of money getting your own boat ready for that bucket list adventure. Many veteran boaters swear by the chartering lifestyle, especially those who can’t or don’t want to leave it all to cross vast blue expanses for months on end. Why charter a boat to do the Mediterranean circle this year and repeat with Australia the next? Write the check, work with the company, and show
flotilla operates. The journey was a sweet taste of that flotilla freedom lifestyle.
FLOTILLA 101 Like a traditional solo barebones charter, the flotilla gives the helm of the yacht to the client. The client is in control of his/her boat and free to operate the vessel as desired (within compliance of the charter company’s operating procedures, of course). The big benefits of this include flexibility and independence. In other words, if the client wants to go solo for a special evening for two, he or she simply picks a nearby secluded bay and chills the champagne after dropping the anchor. However, like a full-service charter, the flotilla experiences offered in the Pacific Northwest and beyond feature a lead boat crewed by experienced mariners and knowledgeable staff who are on standby for support. Curious about the anchoring situation for the night? The lead boat’s skipper will clue you in and maybe even offer a tie alongside. The marine toilet acting up? The lead boat’s mechanic could be the hero who rises to the occasion. Also, importantly, the lead boat follows a set itinerary typically established over many years of trial and error and local knowledge. For clients new to an area, this is a huge benefit to getting the most out of a trip, like exploring a foreign city with a bona fide local. Clients are allowed to follow the itinerary and lead boat as much or as little as they want, within reason. The chartered vessel does need to get from Point A to Point B (or back to Point A again) by the end of the charter, so skippers plan their trips with the starting and ending points in mind. No leaving the boat with the keys for a valet to pick up.

up for the keys, no harrowing trans-ocean crossings required. There are countless chartering companies in the Pacific Northwest and abroad, and many of them offer flotilla or flotillalike experiences. I was fortunate enough to hop aboard Leg 6 of the Mother Goose Flotilla 2018, one of Bellingham, Washington-based Northwest Explorations’ iconic seasonal adventures. The crew took me under their mother goose wings, sharing behind-the-scenes insights on how an ace
My experience isn’t any different than a client’s as I am scooped up from the
ferry terminal in Ketchikan and whisked to the fleet docked in one of the local marinas. I arrive to a cozy scene aboard our lead boat and my new home Deception, a Grand Banks 49. Including us, our flotilla of six boats ranges in size from the 36’ Grand Banks Grand Adventure to the 58’ Kadey Krogen Inception. All the clients and crew, roughly 15 people, make for standing room only around a table of appetizers that include locally made crab dip and smoked salmon spread. Of course, the wine bottles are open, and an excited buzz thickens the air. A map of our route hangs from ceiling to floor, displaying the 736 miles Leg 6 will cover across two international borders and the vast wilderness like Alaska’s Tongass National Forest and British Columbia’s Fjordlands Conservancy. “Alright, settle down, settle down,” chimes in Captain Rich Fitzpatrick, a trim, silver-haired man with a friendly I-knowmy-stuff authority about him. “We’re hosting a potluck tomorrow for purely fun reasons, tonight we have some business to address.” Several paper packets are handed out: orientation information, itineraries, charted routes for the next day, and more. The salon hushes as the group tunes in. Captain Fitzpatrick is retired from a 30year career in the Navy during which he commanded three different ships including an 820’ helicopter aircraft carrier. He fell in love with Northwest Explorations when he ran into their booth at a Seattle Boat Show. “I’ve commanded an aircraft carrier and been the Navy’s military aide to President Bill Clinton,” says Captain Fitzpatrick, who at one point was the guy who carried around the nuclear launch codes (aka “the football”) in the president’s entourage. “And I’m having more fun now than with any of those.” He holds a

100-ton US Coast Guard captain’s license and has been a flotilla leader since 2012. Captain Fitzpatrick isn’t a crew of one, however. Jordan Pemberton, first mate and mechanic for the flotilla, also introduces himself. The neatly-trimmed beard adds 5 to his 25 actual years of age. “We’re going to have a great trip,” says the young sea salt. “Just always use your situational awareness. Especially as we go south, there’s going to be more logs in the water as they are pretty aggressive with logging down there.” Pemberton has a long, personal history with Northwest Explorations. He is the grandson of Brian Pemberton, the recently retired Northwest Explorations owner who purchased the company in 2004 when it was called Grand Yachts Northwest. Jordan has spent the last 15 years working on

Alaskan and British Columbia waters, 13 with Mother Goose and two on commercial tugboats. He is also a proud graduate of Skagit Valley Tech School and holds a suite of ABYC mechanic certifications and a U.S. Coast Guard 100-ton captain’s license. The cherry on top? Deception was his grandpa’s boat and the start of his nautical career at age seven. The third member of the Deception crew and flotilla leadership is Hannah King, the naturalist. “I’m very excited to be here with you all!” King introduces herself with an enthusiastic wave. “This is my second year on this leg and some of my absolutely favorite spots are on the route.” She will be providing narration about the wildlife, geology, history, and more along the way on VHF Channel 1a if anybody wants to tune in. King is a graduate from Saint Louis University with degrees in Biology and Public Health. She followed the call of the sea to the Pacific Northwest where she worked as a kayak guide, environmental educator, and naturalist in the San Juan Islands. She then crewed on a local educational sailboat down the West Coast to Baja – where she accrued some hair-raising nautical yarns complete with 18-foot waves - before falling in with Northwest Explorations. Now she’s on all year round. “Hannah is modest,” interjects Captain Fitzpatrick to the gathering. “She has the most demanding job. The naturalist does it all: organizes trips and activities ashore, serves as fully-trained crew, does more than her share of the cooking and cleaning, writes the trip’s blog, takes our pictures, and more.” The clients themselves are a varied bunch, ranging from a couple who have done a Mother Goose leg for the last six summers (making this their seventh) to first-time goslings. Some have a couple of kids in tow and others are older couples making the most of their retirement. A few of them have sea salty resumes, others contemplate leaving the dock tomorrow with a touch of anxiety. They all are aboard Deception this night for the same fateful reason; the allure of the North and call of the sea. Orientation ends and cabin lights of the fleet go out one by one. I treat Hannah and Jordan to a celebratory (and responsible)
round for good fortune at the 49er bar in Ketchikan before hitting the berth.
TAKING FLIGHT The fleet casts its dock lines off the next day at around 0730 hours with the goal of an 0800 hours full-flotilla departure. I shadow Captain Fitzpatrick, Pemberton, and King as the three move from boat to boat for a final round of check-ins. One by one, the boats peel off from the dock, the skippers tuned to their radios as Captain Fitzpatrick or Pemberton talk them calmly out of the marina. “A scoch [a little] more of port engine, back on the starboard,” says Pemberton as he guides a boat clear. There’s an array of boating proficiency on display, understandable due to the various backgrounds of the clients and the natural process of learning a new boat. After Deception gets underway, the crew and I talk shop. Classically overcast and foggy, Ketchikan passes by. It isn’t an hour before we pass our first humpback whale, number one of what turns out to be dozens over the course of the trip. King hops on the radio and goes into naturalist mode, listing off whale facts that have me, a marine science major, taking notes. Although we are on the final leg heading south to Bellingham, Leg 1 for Mother Goose leads the opposite way from Bellingham to Ketchikan, a long leg with over 20 days underway. Getting the boats up north early in the season is smart, for many of the subsequent shorter legs go from Ketchikan to Juneau or Sitka, followed by a leg back down to Ketchikan. The north-to-south and south-to-north legs are repeated with varying itineraries to offer plenty variation for clients. At the end of each leg, the skipper and crew hop off and the new batch of staff for the next leg boards. In this way, the whole fleet is handed off as a leisurely baton pass as it zips up and down the Pacific Northwest coastline. Behind the scenes, the Northwest Explorations crew works overtime to turn around boats for new groups of clients in less than 24 hours.

ing line of goslings that follow the mother goose, starts about two years before clients board their vessels for their charter. “We start to get calls about Mother Goose a year and a half or two years in advance,” says Captain Richard Fitzpatrick. “We try to go someplace different every year to offer something new and have gone as far north as Prince William Sound, Alaska. We usually operate primarily in Southeast Alaska, but we’re also often found on the
westside of Vancouver Island and out to Haida Gwaii.” Sculpting the itinerary is part art and part science with different boats, varying destinations, and client demands to juggle. While the itinerary for the following season is being hammered out, work at the dock never ends. “The behind-the-scenes preparation is something we love to shed light on for clients,” says Pemberton. “The true behind-

the-scenes players are working around the year and around the clock to prepare for these flotillas and other charters on the home front. It takes time; each boat has to be organized and has a very detailed list of items to be aboard.” Mechanics service engines, teams routinely clean and polish, personnel make sure the boats are equipped with desired goodies (fishing gear, kayaks, etc.), the office phones ring as staff work with potential clients from around the world, and more. Interestingly, Northwest Explorations doesn’t own the boats of their fleet, rather the fleet is made up of privately owned vessels enlisted with the company. For owners who can part from their boats for certain months of the year, enrolling boats in the fleet offers many benefits ranging from the company’s diligent maintenance to tax breaks. “Putting these privately-owned boats into our charter fleet is a revenue sharing arrangement; the owners make some money and we keep some too. Most of our owners live out of state and don’t use their boats for large chunks of time during the season, so this works out great for them,” says Captain Fitzpatrick. “It’s definitely a special situation and not for everyone.”
THE GOSLINGS UNDERWAY The first anchorage of Foggy Bay after leaving Ketchikan is an all-fleet raft-up and shore-tie arrangement, a wise move with the deep and sometimes complex anchorages in the area.

skippers exchange stories of whale sightings and more that are already piling up. As the evening’s drinking glasses ebb and flow with wine, Captain Fitzpatrick, Pemberton, and King are rarely idle as they obsess over preventative maintenance and troubleshooting, simultaneously quick to exchange a joke with a client and dive into a bilge. At least one of them always makes a final round to check in with each boat at night, tool bag in hand. King pours over the next blog post in the wee hours of the night, teasing out the day’s experience for the world wide web. I take in our flotilla raft as the stars come out. The Perseid Meteor shower is underway and I catch sight of a shooting star. I chat with the crew about what kind of person is cut out for Mother Goose. “We tend to attract very independently minded, down to Earth clients who really want to be here to drive their own boat while interacting with the group” says Pemberton. “With a few rare exceptions, they are great to work with. I feel very fortunate. For this amount of money, clients could be pampered in fancy hotels in Europe as a vacation, but instead they choose to drive their own boat with us here in the wilderness.” While the appeal of a flotilla charter is wide, it is geared toward clients with solid boating fundamentals for safety reasons. There’s always a checkout before the trip to make sure the skipper can operate the vessel safely. It’s also common (and responsible) for clients to beef up on their boat skills months before the start date. In the case of Northwest Explorations, multiday onboard intensives are offered in Bellingham during the off-season. Bottom line: clients don’t have to be sea salts, but they shouldn’t be completely green either.
“The first thing you do is call the office,” says Captain Fitzpatrick. “We talk to you and see what kind of boating experience you have. If you don’t have much, we offer multiday classes that will get you up to speed. Other people with experience may just want a day of docking practice. We want you to enjoy the trip and not be out there white-knuckled the whole time.” Flotillas have plenty to offer ace skippers as well. For our remote Pacific cruising paradises, advanced curveballs related to big Pacific weather, calving glaciers, bears, local tide rapids, U.S.-Canada border paperwork, tricky anchorages, and more are challenges for boaters of all experience levels. Experienced backup can manage those inconveniences so boaters can maximize the fun part of cruising; cruising! “Going with the flotilla is a great option because we’re there the whole time,” continues Captain Fitzpatrick. “We’re always going to be the first in the dock to help talk you in and tend to your lines. We’ll help you get anchored, learn the electronics, and more. We’re out there in the lead boat with a captain, mechanic, and naturalist. We’ll collect garbage, provide water when needed. These are big, complicated boats and we want to do all we can to ensure that you enjoy your trip.” “The training we provide as a company is pretty unique,” says Jordan. “It’s an excellent resource for boaters preparing for a flotilla charter.”
Many Miles To Go The days pass in an almost dream-like state. Through a lay day stopover in the charming town of Prince Rupert and a marathon of off-the-hook remote paradise anchorages – Newcombe Harbour, Patter-

son Inlet, Bishop Bay Hot Springs, Culpepper Lagoon, Rescue Bay – the flotilla life becomes familiar to the point we forget the worlds we left behind. After a typical start between 0700 and 0900 hours, Captain Fitzpatrick or Pemberton lead the charge from Deception’s helm, quick to report deadhead sightings or provide advice for tricky narrow passages as the gosling ships file in behind. King is always alert—a whale spout, ruin of an abandoned cannery town, or striking granite rockface of a fjord sends her on the radio waves and reaching for her camera. The fleet is a dynamic beast, and sometimes a boat or two peels off for their own solo detours. Like a mother goose, Deception’s crew bids them follow seas with inward motherly concern. The wayward boats always rejoin the flock, sometimes with fishing stories in tow. After an impromptu stop in Shearwater Resort for some shore time, we gather around a bonfire in Fury Cove. We’re within a day’s cruise from Port McNeill, my final port of call. The fleet has quite a way further to homeport in the States. Fireside chatter grows reflective as the sun sets west over a field of pristine tidepools. A forest fire smoke haze sets in and the sun is like a blood orange in the sky. Eventually, it’s just the crew and me, and we tidy up the beach to leave no trace. As crew of the flotilla, they both start and put out the bonfire. The middle part with the s’mores is the well-earned reward. Norris Comer is the managing editor of Northwest Yachting magazine.

As the summer winds down, most of us try to squeeze in every last drop of the season while we can. But some boat show junkies are torn between wishing the days would last forever and wishing they would fly by so the largest outdoor boat show on the West Coast, January’s Seattle Boat Show, would get here already. Meanwhile, the Lake Union Boats Afloat show is back this year in Chandler ’s Cove from September 13-16. As Northwest Yachting goes to
A
press, more than 200 boats are ready to float in the waters of South Lake Union, an urban lake and the heart of Seattle’s boat business. That’s a veritable fleet of new and used boats you can hop aboard or just take in as you stroll the docks. Notably, Boats Afloat is celebrating its 40 th anniversary this year. “The show started in 1978 at Shilshole Bay Marina and moved to South Lake Union in the ‘90s,” explains Bonnie Robertson, executive director of the North-
tion branched out to different markets, and now Boats Afloat features a wide variety of boats and activities, attracting both young and old, newbies as well as yachties. “We have expanded the variety and price point, so there is something for everyone,” Robertson says.
ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS Even those not ready for boat ownership will find Boats Afloat intriguing. There are plenty of free educational seminars and experts to ask about moorage, financing, and insurance for boats. The show features free boat rides, sponsored by the Seattle Sailing Club and Seattle Boat Share, so a potential mariner can get out on the water with both sail and power boats. The boat share program is a way for people to learn about boating without taking on the commitment of owning a motorboat, and Boats Afloat attendees can learn all about the boat rental program. If you are a future sailor, the Seattle Sailing Club is offering lessons, and if you are hooked after a spin around Lake Union, you’ll know where to go next. Shopping for a boat? Close to 50 local brokers are showing off their latest and greatest, plus more than 40 vendors and exhibitors will be offering great deals on every marine product and service you’ll ever need. This year, the show is featuring Boats of Notes, an impressive lineup of marine beauties that range from power to sail, new to old. There is plenty of opportunity to see these boats and more during the show’s run at the south end of Lake Union. On Thursday, September 13, and Friday, September 14, the hours are from 1100 to 1800 hours; weekend hours are 1000 to 1800 hours. Tickets are reasonable with one-day adult tickets going for

west Yacht Brokers Association (NYBA), which puts on the show. The show started out with sailboats exclusively and then grew to include almost every boat type from motoryachts to tenders. The Boats Afloat show was born out of the need to see bigger yachts and cruisers in their natural environment. “The best place to see big boats is in the water,” Robertson said. We are talking big, folks, so big that Century Link just wasn’t large enough to handle
many of them at the annual Seattle Boat Show. The need for a floating boat show became apparent to the brokers’ association and they purchased the show in 1988. Every year since, Boats Afloat has grown and this year promises to be bigger than last. About six years ago, the NYBA decided to expand the show’s audience. “People started thinking the show was just about expensive cruisers and yachts,” Robertson said. The associa-

DRESS FOR THE PART Prepare to spend some time perusing! How often do you board a yacht, much less many yachts, in a day? Be forewarned though, an all-outdoor show means that the weather is more of a factor than at indoor winter shows. Hours on the dock require protection from the sun, so be sure to bring sunscreen, hats, and glasses. If you plan to board any boats for a closer look, be respectful of the owners and wear deck shoes. Seattle tends to be nice in September, but the weather can go from cloudy to bright and back quickly, so consider dressing in layers and packing a small collapsible umbrella for the possible rain.
PLAN AHEAD Make the most of the show by coming up with a plan before you attend. Boats Afloat isn’t as expansive as the Seattle Boat Show, but some idea of what you’ll be doing can make or break the experience. First, know why you are going to the show: are you going to take in the sights, learn more about boating, or are seriously considering buying a boat. Maybe you are somewhere in between. Many vendors and exhibitors are expected this year, selling electronics, gear, and yacht maintenance, plus services like marine insurance and finance. Between the vendors and yacht brokers, there are plenty of opportunities for deals and steep discounts. Don’t be afraid to ask for a little something extra if you’ve already shown you’re a serious customer, boat shows are where vendors and brokers are looking to make new lifelong customers, and they’re comfortable offering a little something extra. The Lake Union Boat Show attracts both locals and people from out of town.
No matter where you come from, you can enjoy both the boat show and Seattle as a destination. Last year, the boat show had an attendance of approximately 8,000 and this year promises to attract more. There are plenty of accommodations, dining spots, and activities in South Lake Union. Consider staying overnight in a hotel within walking distance to the show. Hotels in the immediate area include the Silver Cloud Inn-Lake Union, Marriott Courtyard-Lake Union, Residence Inn by Marriott, and the EVEN Hotel-Lake Union. Both the Silver Cloud Inn and Marriott Courtyard offer discounts to show attendees. If you’re planning on driving to the show, you have a couple of parking options around Chandler Cove; you can pay for parking at Chandler ’s Cove Marina, Daniel’s Broiler, Ocean Alexander Marina, Yale Avenue North at Moss Bay, Fairview Ave North, Lake Union Park, and there is city parking along Westlake. The show offers free shuttle rides during the weekend to Chandler Cove from 300 Yale St North. Parking tickets to that lot can be purchased online and more show information can be found at boatsafloatshow.com.
ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS Boats Afloat is more than just a chance to hop aboard boats and talk to brokers, it offers a whole education about the boating experience for every one and every age. Adult sailing lessons are available all four days of the event. These lessons are perfect for any beginner looking for an affordable introduction to sailing, or more experienced sailors whose skills have become rusty. The three-hour course is brief but touches on everything a sailor needs to know: wind direction, points of sail, sail trim, terminology and parts of the boat, safety on the water, and rules of the road. The course also covers crew positions and maneuvers, driving the sailboat under sail power, and the basics of sailing knots. The classes are $55 a person and are split

between 1.5 hours of classroom instruction and 1.5 hours of on-water practice. Preregistration is required as classes are limited to 16 people a day. Boats Afloat will be hosting a series of women’s docking classes. Docking is a nerve-wracking maneuver, and an essential skill that can take years to perfect. Nothing says competent skipper like the ability to easily guide a boat to a dock. These free 25-minute classes give women a chance to learn new docking tips, and includes 20 minutes of in-water practice. Women looking to participate must purchase an e-ticket online and select the free ticket for the docking class. Get the tickets soon, space is limited. Classes will be instructed by Ben Johnson of Hampton Yacht Group and Jim Lowry of Seattle Boat Share. The sessions will demonstrate different docking scenarios, like docking in tight quarters, docking in wind, and undocking. Instructors will also cover steering, contrary motion and propulsion, hull effects, human factors like communication and skipper’s perspective, and use of lines and fenders. Kids can get in on the action and make their own wooden toy boats. The team from the Center for Wooden Boats will be on hand

to help youngsters pick out wooden hulls, sails, and decorative corks and bottle caps. Younger children might need adult supervision when using hand drills and hammers, but a fun time is sure to be had by all. Check in at the Discover Sailing Booth. The whole family can regroup after a day of exploring for a free, relaxing boat ride that leaves right from the boat show dock. The Seattle Sailing Club will have sailboats from 26’ to 35’ available to ride. Passengers can get involved and handle the lines, try steering, or just sit back and enjoy the scenery. Seattle Boat Share is putting a variety of powerboats
on the water and giving guests the chance to come aboard and get a taste of different boat styles while getting a look at the show from the water. Rides last 45 minutes and leave on the hour, free with show ticket, and welcomes all ages. Evin Moore is an assistant editor at Northwest Yachting.

The story of how the local launches used to coach the Boys in the Boat were restored to their vintage glory. BY EVIN MOORE 78 NORTHWEST YACHTING || SEPTEMBER 2018
Every Seattle boater knows that Opening Day kicks off with crew races through the Montlake Cut, but not every boater appreciates how the University of Washington crew program impacted the development of Seattle, and even fewer will know the significance of two classic wooden motor boats that trail closely behind the racing crews. These classic boats—Husky II and Conny—are the original launches used by the legendary coaches of the crew teams that proved Seattle was more than a last pit stop for dreamers headed north. The Conny is the launch that guided the un-

derdog team who won gold in the 1936 Olympics right under the nose of Hitler. Their story is told in the best-selling book Boys in the Boat. The Husky II is modeled after the Conny and the namesake of a launch that served the UW during the same golden era. Both boats were almost lost to neglect but eventually saved and given an honored place on today’s team; a championship team that is so intrinsic to what Seattle is today. In 1899, the second year of the Klondike Gold Rush, Seattle was growing rapidly for a town that largely lacked indoor plumbing barely a decade earlier. The University

saw the race as a sporting event to rival the baseball stadiums of older, more established cities. From its inception, the race was a hit, attracting thousands of spectators. “You have to ask yourself what other spectator sporting events were going on in Seattle in 1903,” said Eric Cohen, University of Washington rowing historian. “The answer is not much, so yes, the races were a big draw right from the beginning.” Seattle, the University of Washington, and the crew program all continued to grow. In 1906, Hiram Conibear became the head coach of the program. Conibear developed the “Conibear Stroke” during his tenure, a new way of rowing the shell, which would become the American standard. Conibear’s other major contribution to UW crew was convincing boat builder George Pocock to move to Seattle. Pocock’s racing shells were revolutionary for their time, and he would eventually supply shells to every crew program in the country. Although Conibear died in an accident in 1917, his legacy, which included taking Washington to their first Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) National Championship Regatta, was beyond solidified. “I can say without a doubt in my mind that Hiram Conibear is the most influential coach in the history of the program,” said Cohen. Other coaches came after Conibear, and the team went to the national championships for the first time in eight years in 1922. The Seattlites were still regarded as underdogs, denizens of a backwater town in the middle of nowhere. But they quickly earned the respect of the centuries-old East Coast schools, coming in a
close second behind Navy, with the rest of the field far behind. If Washington had earned a half measure of respect in 1922, they would get their full share in 1923 when Coach Rusty Callow lead them to their first national championship. The returning team was greeted in Seattle with a parade and Coach Callow was given the key to the city in recognition of Seattle’s first major sport victory on a national stage. The Huskies remained competitive through the rest of the 1920s, although they came in third in 1928, the first year that Al Ulbrickson served as head coach. Ulbrickson would eventually start a winning streak that would culminate in a gold medal win at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. From the beginning of his tenure as head coach, Ulbrickson joined his athletes on the water every crisp morning of the training season on his own custom launch, the Conny, named for Hiram Conibear. From his office over the water, Ulbrickson could critique his athletes and make adjustments as needed. Pocock, the visionary boatmaker, would often join Ulbrickson and offer his own advice to the team. The 1936 team became champions, coached by Ulbrickson yelling over a megaphone from the Conny. Custombuilt by Shertzer Brothers on Lake Union, the Conny needed a special design to serve as a coach’s launch; she needed to be big, to hold nine men in case a racing shell capsized, and a round bottom to minimize wake. After serving faithfully for all Ulbrickson’s career and beyond, the Conny was taken out of commission one evening in
of Washington had moved a few years earlier to its present location, and their access to water made the university a prime candidate for a crew team. E.F. Blaine, a local businessman and East Coast native, offered to raise money for the construction of a rowing shell. Two four-man training gigs were built, and the different classes raced amongst themselves. It wasn’t until 1903 that the first intercollegiate crew race on the West Coast took place in Seattle, held between UW and the University of California. Locals wanted to legitimize Seattle as a city and

1971. She was struck broadside after two crew members took their dates out for a night on the water. The Conny was in multiple pieces, but her historical significance to the Ulbrickson era of the crew program was not yet recognized. After sitting in a University of Washington storage yard for several years, the Conny caught the eye of team manager Kirk “Lucky” Knapp. “ When I saw Conny in the storage yard my junior year, I came back and tried to get Dick (Erickson, head rowing coach at Washington from 1968-1987) interested. But he had a fully functioning launch. He kept telling me to go pick it up if I wanted it, and finally, in 1978, I was able

to do that,” said Knapp in an interview with Eric Cohen. Although the Conny had been rescued from the UW storage yard, it wasn’t until 1996 that Knapp had the time and money to give her the attention she deserved. Knapp contacted and handed the pieces of the boat off to Dave Berg. Fortune seems to have favored her restoration, as an unlikely find from 150 miles away reunited the Conny with her original engine. The Conny’s original Scripps F-6 engine was replaced in the ‘50s or ‘60s by a Chrysler Crown. That replacement engine was long gone, but Knapp heard from Curt Erickson that he had acquired an ancient Scripps F-6, said to be from a rowing launch. Separated by miles, Knapp measured the mounting holes on the Conny and Erikson measured the same on the engine. Initially, they were disappointed to find the numbers didn’t match, until they realized that they were measuring from different directions. “That was the moment we knew we had it right. That engine – sitting 150 miles away and salvaged by fortune – was the original. We got it up to Bellingham and it fit into the engine bed perfectly. That was a great day,” said Knapp. Dave Berg continued to work on the Conny for two years in his shop before she was ready to be launched on August 12, 1998. The first custom-made boat delivered to the Washington rowing program was the Husky: a 36’ launch delivered to the university in 1923. Through the ‘20s and ‘30s, the Husky and the Conny worked side by side, but the aging Husky was replaced in the ‘40s by the Husky II, a boat designed to the same specifications as the Conny. The fate of the first Husky remains a mystery.
Her replacement, the Husky II was on the water everyday throughout the ‘40s, ‘50s, and ‘60s, but by the 1970s she was spending her days languishing in the launch house. When Bob Ernst was hired by UW as the men’s freshman coach in 1974, the university offered him a ski boat as a launch, but it put up a huge wake. Ernest noticed the Husky II sitting in the launch house. “Bob Ernst was interested in the history of the program from the beginning, and was the first to recognize the Husky II as significant to the team,” said Cohen. Told no one else used the boat, Ernst had her tuned up and she became the freshman launch. By the 1990s, the Husky II was seeing less action once again and starting to show her age. Ernst reached out to Chris Eden, president of the Northwest Classic Boat Club. Eden connected him to Greg Harrison and a boat restoration vocation program at Seattle Central Community College. The students worked on the Husky II for several years, and she was relaunched in 2002. The historic launch was now finally recognized as a link to the program’s rich past, but her revival was not over yet. By 2010 the boat was leaking again, and the bottom planks needed to be replaced. Blake Nordstrom of the Washington Rowing Stewards understood the value of the Husky II to the program and the university. He reached out to Brooke Larsson of Larsson Marine to see what he could do. “We went down and took a look. You could put your hand through the floorboards. That’s how bad it was,” said Larsson. Too delicate to move, the Husky II was loaded on to a piece of reinforced plastic and taken to Larsson’s shop in Portage Bay. Larsson and his team stripped the Husky II down to the keel and replaced every plank. The keel itself was crooked and had to be straightened in a jig built on the dock. The helm had to look original, so gauges and a horn were found and re-plated. The Husky II was relaunched in 2014, and in 2017 at the 106th annual “Dual Race”, both she and the Conny were once again side by side, following behind the UW crew, echoing the past and reminding all of those who came before. Two living pieces of history finally recognized for their contribution to a team so deeply connected to local history. Evin Moore is an assistant editor at Northwest Yachting.

It is a summer morning and we are slowly motoring north past Elliott Bay. Other than the ferries nimbly coming and going from downtown Seattle, there seems to be no one else on the water. Then, quietly and quickly, a massive commercial tug appears in our wake, its yellow and blue color scheme unmistakable, even in the poor visibility of the morning. We sip our coffee and watch, transfixed by the grace of this massive ship that is slowly overtaking us. Soon she is off our stern and then makes a turn to starboard, headed for the Ballard Locks and eventually her home

An amateur painter would be just as likely to produce a watercolor with a tugboat in the foreground as a ferry. Tugs seem to belong here. The rugged landscape and harsh industrial facades of our port cities provide the perfect backdrop for the graceful workboats. Freighters always seem outsized and out of place as they come and go through the shipping lanes. Ferries loudly announce their presence as they disembark. Tugs go largely unnoticed.

steamship in the Northwest. The Beaver plied the waters from the Columbia River to Alaska. Used mostly in support of the fur trade, the Beaver was also called into duty towing becalmed sailing vessels in and out of ports and over the Columbia River bar. The Beaver went aground near Vancouver under the command of a drunk crew in 1888. Her remains, including one of her paddle wheels, can be seen today at the Vancouver Maritime Museum in British Columbia. The same forces that require the use of working tugs today are what pressed them into service in the 1890s. In the years of overlap between sail and steam, motorized vessels were a premium. Sailing ships remained the only true option for crossing oceans but were hobbled in the shifting winds and strong currents of the Puget Sound. Ships loaded with cargo would be intercepted at the mouth of the Straits of Juan de Fuca and towed into Port Townsend, Seattle, and Tacoma. Lumber towns like Port Gamble, Utsalady, Seabeck, and Port Ludlow had steamships stationed at their docks to tow log rafts from the wooded hillsides to the mills, where the resulting lumber would then be loaded onto sailing vessels destined for San Francisco and other far away cities. As commerce in the Pacific Northwest rapidly expanded, so did the need for a fleet of tugboats. Moving goods by water was (and largely still is) the preferred method, since railroads and roads were incomplete and interrupted by the geography of Puget Sound. Delivering supplies north during the Gold Rush and shipping products back to the cities of Seattle and Vancouver required steam-powered vessels to ply the Inside Passage, a safe but frustratingly fickle path. The Second World War harkened a construction boom still unmatched in
American history. The industrial output in support of the America war effort included huge fleets of tug boats used to position ships, deliver materials to shipyards like the one in Bremerton, and move ammunition from base to base. After the war, many of the over 800 tugs built by the U.S. Navy made their way into private service. Today, modern diesel-powered tugboats perform similar duty as their predecessors. Container ships enter the Puget Sound under their own power but are intercepted and towed into port by two or more tugs. Log rafts and barges loaded with everything from sawdust to construction equipment quietly make their way up and down the Inside Passage. Ferries that have suffered mechanical failure are pulled home for repair. Most modern tugs are built on the same concept: deep draft, full displacement steel hulls topped with low-slung decks and stout cabins. Massive propellers are fitted for torque and low-end power, not speed. Larger tugs are fitted with twin screws and a variety of thrusters. Crew accommodations are typically workman-like and the wheelhouses are all business. Many tugs you see on the water are purposely built for specific duty. Smaller, more nimble vessels are used around ports to push or pull barges or other vessels. Larger, more powerful ships are tasked with pulling loaded barges and specialty cargo. Being on the deck of a working tug gives you an immediate taste of the heavy-duty work they perform. Fittings are massive and unapologetically industrial. These are no-nonsense ships meant to do real work, and do it often.
FOSS MARITiME No one was better positioned to take advantage of the first “tug boom” than Thea Foss. As the story goes, Foss, an im-
They simply blend in. They are natives in our waters. This likely explains the popularity of modern recreational tugs, many of which are built in the Pacific Northwest. Not tug boats at all, the class of slow cruisers called tugs are nonetheless a nod to the history and culture of the Salish Sea.
Working Origins Tug boats have been working the waters of Puget Sound since 1836, when the SS Beaver became the first

migrant from Norway, was at home on the Tacoma waterfront in 1889 while her carpenter husband was off building a home in the woods. A frustrated fisherman, fed up with his own failure, sold his rowboat to Foss for five dollars, a large but manageable sum for Foss. Soon after, she paints the boat bright white with green trim and resells it for fifteen dollars. She repeats this several times, and by the time her husband emerges from his carpentry job some time later with $32 in his pocket, Thea has put away over $41 from buying, selling, and renting rowboats to fishermen. This was enough to convince Andrew Foss to quit building houses and sheds and focus on building boats, and from that beginning we get the origins of the Foss Maritime, the source of the ubiquitous green and white hulled ships that work the waters around Seattle and Tacoma every day. Andrew and Thea Foss built and rented or sold over 200 boats to local fishermen and workers who used them to row to their jobs at local sawmills. They acquired their first steam vessel when it went aground at the head of Commencement Bay and they salvaged the stranded vessel. The equipment was used to outfit a new hull built by Andrew. They sold this boat and bought yet another, and the company began to flourish and expand. Among Andrew Foss’s most prescient design ideas was a short, heavy tug designed to move log rafts. Today, Foss Maritime is based in Seattle and employs thousands of men and women
around the world. Their fleet of over 200 vessels work the waters of the Puget Sound and the world. Their vessels still have the trademark white-on-green paint jobs started by Thea Foss in 1889.
WESTERN TOWBOAT Just as recognizable on the waters of the Puget Sound are the blue and yellow ships of the Western Towboat Company. Established in Ballard in 1948, Western Towboat started with one boat—the Tobey. The Tobey worked the waters of the Seattle waterfront for years, with Bob Shrewsbury Sr. running the entire operation on handshake deals and word of mouth promotion. Today, family-owned and operated Western Towboat has 22 vessels working up and down the West Coast. Their ships are designed and built in their own yard in Seattle, where they fabricate and design much of their own equipment. The operation is impressive, and the years of experience in building their own vessels has led to efficiencies and procedures that keep Western’s boats constantly working. For example, most of their larger boats have removable stacks, which allows the yard to have access to the engines without cutting the deck. According to Bob Shrewsbury Jr., one of the family owners, they can refit an engine in 30 hours at their dock in Ballard and be back on the water. Western’s tugs pull barges of containers and railcars from Seattle to Southeast Alaska on what seems like an impossible schedule,
Two alternative approaches in the Northwest: Ranger Tugs make modern volume production tugs like the R-29 (left) in Kent, Washington while Devlin Designing Boat Builders, led by Sam Devlin, designs many one-off custom tugs (and other boats), like the Sockeye 42 (right).

leaving port in Seattle every Wednesday and Friday with up to ten stops in Alaska before returning. The 15- to 20-day round trip ends with a few days off at home for the captain and crew before setting out again. This explains the care that is taken in the design and maintenance of the boats’ interiors. The cabins and engine rooms of Western’s vessels would make any yacht owner envious. While their vessels are obviously working ships, specifically built for the jobs they need to do, they are also designed and maintained to assure the comfort and happiness of the captain and crew. As I walk through the cabin of the Artic Titan, a 120’ ship built in 2012, I marvel at the accommodations and wish my own boat was as well put together. “This is their home,” Bob says, as we tour the Arctic Titan. “It’s in their interest to take good care of it.” Much in the way high-level yacht racing innovations trickle down into recreational sailing, modern tug design is informing design and technologies in cruising yachts. The competitive world of the shipping industry necessitates a constant rethinking of the tug’s hull design, propulsion, and crew accommodations. Western Towboat’s design and construction process emphasizes long-term reliability and maintenance, as well as state of the art propulsion and electronics. As we walk the yard, Bob tells me about his first trip to Alaska at age seven on a boat called the Sally S, which Western Towboat purchased in 1951. Today the Sally S still sails the waters of Puget Sound, lovingly converted into a pleasure yacht by the current owners.
BUSINESS TO PLEASURE It did not take long for working tugs to be pressed into recreational service. As tug companies upgraded to newer technologies and sold older, out-of-date vessels, private owners began converting them into cruising yachts and liveaboards. The appeal is obvious. The rugged, seaworthy tug hulls were roomy and stout. Their proven pedigree in Northwest waters assured they could take anything thrown their way. Many overly ambitious buyers quickly realized that the cost of refitting a working tug to be a comfortable cruising platform was immense, but those with resources and foresight created wonderful yachts from the bones of working boats. A shining example of a conversion from workboat to pleasure craft is the classic Canadian tug Swell. She was launched in 1912 as a coal-powered steam vessel. In the 1950s she was converted to a diesel
power plant. She began her gradual march toward becoming a pleasure craft in 1972. She was used as a yacht for seven years before being put back into service as a tug until 2004. This alone speaks to the quality of the design and construction of tugs, even one as old as the Swell. Today, after a complete $3.5 million refit she serves as a charter vessel for Maple Leaf Adventures in British Columbia. While cruising the Puget Sound, you are bound to see old tugs from the early 1900s still serving as pleasure boats, but the wood hulled boats are becoming more and more rare as the cost of maintaining them increases.
MODERN PlEASURE CRAFT While early conversions were obviously workboats repurposed as cruising vessels, the recreational boats we refer to now as tugs are not tugs at all. While the cabin and topsides resemble the shape and aesthetic of workboats, most cruising “tugs” are semidisplacement hulls with fuel efficiency and comfort in mind. The most industrial pursuit for many of these vessels is recreational salmon fishing and crabbing. Still, the stout profiles, plumb bows, and low-slung aft decks of modern cruising tugs are right at home on the waters in the Northwest. They are heavily built to withstand the rigors of an Inside Passage voyage while still being efficient and elegant. You aren’t going anywhere fast in a cruising tug, but you are getting there safely and without burning your cruising budget on fuel. There have been several recreational tug manufacturers over the years, and a few Northwest companies stand out as notable examples.
NORDIC TUGS The oil crisis of the 1970s led designers Jerry Husted and Lynn Senour to envision a cruising yacht that was fuel efficient and comfortable. The key to this, of course, was a slower boat powered by an efficient engine. That idea that flew in the face of the contemporary notion of bigger and faster, but the designers were confident that yacht buyers in the Pacific Northwest would be drawn to the workman-like design of a tug. Men, they reasoned, would find the tug design strong and rugged. Women would find it cute. The boat would look good going slow and be efficient. The answer to the design puzzle was a semi-displacement hull that was stable and efficient through the water. Without the need to push a heavy boat onto a plane, the engines could be undersized by contemporary
Modern tugs have grown a bit since they first began as converted work boats. The American Tug 365 was introduced in 2015 and is a mainstay of the La Conner, Washington-based manufacturer’s lineup.
standards, and the boat would sip fuel as it pushed its way through the water. The crossover from workboat to pleasure craft wasn’t quite complete, however. When the Nordic Tug 26 was introduced at the 1980 Seattle International Boat show, one was sold every three hours. Most were sold to cruisers, but a fair number were bought by companies and put into service as work boats. Their seaworthy and efficient design led some buyers to treat them like pickup trucks: transporting crew, towing other craft around ports, and hauling equipment. The original 26’ design was incredibly efficient, burning half a gallon of diesel an hour. Though they halted production of the smallest model in 1997, you will still see lovingly cared for Nordic Tug 26s at every marina in the Northwest. Nordic Tugs today are unmistakably pleasure craft. Roomy aft decks, swim steps, ample cabins and salons that would be comfortable on dry land make them a fan favorite at boat shows and on the docks. I can never resist an invitation aboard someone’s Nordic Tug. Any boater who appreciates attention to craftsmanship and detail will be taken by these boats, and with good reason.
AMERICAN TUGS Tom Nelson, Mike Schoppert, and Kurt Dilworth formed Tomco Marine Group with the mission to create seaworthy and appealing pleasure boats. Lynn Senour was an early contributor to the design, and Tom is the former president of Nordic Tugs. The crossover and Northwest pedigree is obvious. Senour designed both the original hull used on the American Tug 34, launched in 2000, and the first Nordic Tugs. While the name of the boats and the look above the waterline suggest a tugboat heritage, the American Tugs are actually born from the fishing industry. According to Dilworth, “The hull of the American
Tug 34 was originally used as a Bristol Bay fishing boat that was produced in the late 70s and early 80s.” No yacht on the water screams of seaworthiness more than American Tugs. Their signature high freeboard, stout gunwales, and forward sweeping wheelhouse look at home pounding through the waves. They are imposing boats, which makes their cruising interiors seem almost incongruous. But these are pleasure craft, not workboats. Built on a solid fiberglass hull and very well-equipped, American Tugs are definitely close siblings to the workboats that inspired their design. American Tug owners are year-round cruisers, working their way up and down the Inside Passage and down the coast, and the boats are built with this in mind. The Salish Sea seems to be meant for slow cruisers. On waters where the journey is indeed the destination, cruising at low speeds through channels and passes just feels right. Recreational tug and trawler owners see more and are simply more attuned to the waters around them than those who race from port to port. Modern cruising tugs share an aesthetic commonality with the working boats of the Northwest coast, but in everything but appearance, they are cruisers. The rugged features of our coastlines and industrial cities provide a fitting backdrop for modern cruising tugs. Just as working tugs seem as much a part of the landscape as ferries and orca whales, recreational tugs are at home here. Their Northwest pedigree is obvious and stark. Seeing a tug out of context on the east coast or in the Caribbean makes one a little uneasy. Greg Van Belle grew up sailing, cruising, and fishing Puget Sound.

RETURN TO SEA By Richrd Walker
A U.S. Navy quartermaster finds himself back aboard a working boat after a 33-year-career in journalism. Four crewmembers and I are in the water, buoyed by our immersion suits, linked arm in arm, while a sixth shipmate rights the life raft so we can climb aboard to relative safety and await rescue.

For some, this is the first time in an immersion suit and the jump into the water is a leap of faith – like jumping off a concert stage into a mosh pit and trusting that the crowd is going to catch you. You can’t swim in an immersion suit; you have to trust that it will keep you and your head above water, as it is designed to do.

the Basic Safety Training course offered by Compass Courses Maritime Training School, a woman-owned business and one of three private maritime schools in the United States with its own on-site davit for lifeboat training. Among this diverse group was a dive instructor transitioning to a career as an able seaman aboard the M/V Coho, which carries vehicles and passengers between Port Angeles and Victoria; a 20-something charter yacht sailor who wants to work on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research vessel; a purser on a cruise ship attaining her mate’s license; a former political science student who was lured away from academia by the sea; and me, a former quartermaster and helmsman in the U.S. Navy during President Ronald Regan’s term. I am returning to the sea after a 33-year-career in journalism. At age 56, I’m the oldest able seaman, or AB, in the group. AB is the naval rating of someone who has more than two years of experience at sea and works on a merchant ship. In a period of three weeks, I studied aids to navigation, rules of the road, deck and deck safety, marlinespike seamanship, ship structure and construction, personal survival techniques, basic shipboard firefighting, first aid and CPR, personal safety and social responsibilities, lifeboats and other survival craft, oar commands, shipboard preparation, planning, and handling emergencies, heavy weather, and rescues. Cram courses, perhaps. But our instructor Chuck Spence, a retired Navy senior chief and Merchant Marine officer, still expected us to know how to correctly figure out in our heads the force needed to lift 948 lbs. using a double luff tackle rigged to disadvantage, and the breaking strength of 3" nylon line. At each class, I was waiting for someone to call me “Pops,” but it turns out I’m within
the average age of merchant mariners, according to my instructors. There is no romantic view of life at sea among those with whom I’ve studied. Each is a dedicated mariner that recognizes the awesome responsibility that comes with an AB ticket or a mate or master’s license.
Seafaring, Vital as Ever According to the International Chamber of Shipping in London, England, merchant mariners in more than 150 nations are responsible for the delivery of around 90 percent of world trade. In the U.S., there are 175 privately owned, oceangoing vessels of 1,000 gross tons and above that carry cargo from port to port. In addition, U.S. merchant mariners operate charter and excursion boats, dredges, ferries, research vessels, towboats, and tugboats. During war, merchant mariners transport equipment, supplies, and troops; and many mariners have paid the ultimate price. During the Second World War, some 1,554 merchant ships were sunk and an estimated 9,521 merchant mariners were killed, according to the National Archives. This is the legacy we carry. And Compass Courses – whose slogan is “Train Like You Give A Damn” – works to produce graduates for whom safety and seamanship are second nature. Spence pushes his students hard (prudent students practice their knots on breaks). Sure, you can get 70 percent of your exam answers correct and pass the course, but consider this: “On the water, you’ve got to be correct 100 percent of the time,” Spence says. “Make one mistake, and you don’t get to ask, ‘What about all the other times I got it right?’” Spence once kept me after class until he was satisfied I could tie a French bowline within a specified time.

Once in the water, we maneuver into a circle and lock arms to keep each other from drifting away. Linked together, we kick to arrive at the raft as a group and climb aboard one by one.

the Washington State Ferries, the nation’s largest ferry system. “People are relying on you to get them to their destination safely,” he says. “When you finish the trip, there’s a sense of accomplishment that leads you to the next job.” In the state ferry fleet, crew members drill every week. “Situations can happen,” Scott says. “That’s why we drill -- abandon ship, rescue, fire – so if something does happen, everybody knows their job.”

Unlike sailboats, he quips, “you’re not going to get wet and there’s no risk of tipping over.” There’s that, but I know what he means about the need. My experiences at sea have shaped me as a human being, inspired me, and fed my soul. I’ve steered a Navy tank landing ship into battle-torn Beirut at 0-darkthirty, the conning officer navigating us past fishing boats in the harbor en route to landing U.S. Marines as part of a multinational peacekeeping force. The attention to detail that became part of my DNA in the Navy would serve me well as a journalist. I’ve held tight to a chart table as wave after wave slammed into the superstructure of my Navy ship during a wicked storm in the mid-Atlantic. The event deepened my appreciation for naval engineering and ship construction and inspired the poet in me to write years later about how the ship “was not broken” but “carried its sailors and Marines through the storm / and delivered them to calm seas and clear skies of the dawn.” I’ve been lowered in a bosun’s chair over our tank landing ship’s port bow to attach our hard-earned Battle “E”—symbolizing efficiency in battle readiness—to the hull. The exercise taught me to wholly trust others – shipmates holding and tying off the line – with my safety. And I have been awestruck by the beauty of sunrise and sunset at sea. A hot cup of coffee always seems to taste best at that time.

Dave Richards opens with a video showing what happens when a lifeboat is not properly secured. According to several industry sources, several mariners are injured or killed annually in lifeboat drills. The causes include unsafe practices during drills and inspections, communication failures, inadequate maintenance of the release system, inadequate training, lack of familiarity with system and controls, and failure or inadvertent operation of the release mechanism. By the end of our course, all hands will know each step as if someone’s life depends on it—because it does. Ditto for all operations of the vessel. Rob Scott is an ordinary seaman aboard
OS? AB? MATE? MASTER? Mariners must meet certain qualifications in order to receive a Merchant Mariner Credential from the U.S. Coast Guard. The credential certifies that the mariner is qualified to perform certain tasks. Training and testing is more rigid and based on the size of vessel, and whether the vessel travels on coastal or inland waters or on the open ocean. Navy and Coast Guard veterans receive credit for time at sea while on active or reserve duty. The National Maritime Center’s website lists the requirements a mariner must fulfill in order to receive an endorsement as an Ordinary Seaman, Able Seaman, or Engineer, or a license as a Mate or Master. Go to dco.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-Prevention-Policy-CG-5P/National-Maritime-Center/ Several maritime schools in the Seattle metropolitan area provide training and testing for mariners. Among them: Compass Courses Maritime Training School (compasscourses.com); MITAGS/PMI, or Maritime Institute of Technology and Graduate Studies and the Pacific Maritime Institute (mitags-pmi.org); Seattle Maritime Academy at Seattle Central College (maritime.seattlecentral.edu); United States Maritime Academy (usmaritime.us).

The mindful mariner at work - Richard Walker marshalls cars onto the M/V Guemes.
HOME OF THE GREAT SPIRIT vehicles and passengers between Anacortes and Guemes Island. There’s a sense of timelessness here. In the time of the grandparents’ grandparents, Coast Salish people plied this mile-wide channel in masterfully carved cedar canoes to engage in fishing and trade, to commute to local canneries and Puget Sound hop fields for work, and to visit relatives or attend gatherings. One hundred years ago, the first M/V Guemes began regular service here; it was reportedly one of nine ferries then in operation on the U.S. side of the Salish Sea. Much has changed, yet much is the same. Coast Salish people still depend on these ancestral marine highways to travel back and forth from home, work, and traditional fishing areas. Coast Salish canoes still ply these waters, particularly during the annual Canoe Journey, that great gathering of Northwest indigenous peoples. And the M/V Guemes, the second ferry to carry that name, provides regular ferry service between its namesake island and Anacortes, just as its predecessor did. This morning is like the preceding millennia of mornings: The awakening sun plays its magic, displacing blue and violet light with yellow, orange, and red. A tidal change brings a flush of cold, nutrient-rich waters from the Pacific. An eagle – Yukwila, in my wife’s Coast Salish language – flies west across our bow. Seals bob offshore and cormorants in flight skim the water’s surface. A cacophony of gull cries coincides with our vessel’s arrival. The nearshore air is pungent with the scent of salt and seaweed. I am at home here. A shipmate and I offload vehicles and passengers, direct another load of vehicles and passengers aboard, and then I head up to the wheelhouse to stand lookout for the return trip to Anacortes. This scene is repeated from 0630 to 2030 (2300 on Fridays and Saturdays) 365 days a year. Every mariner with whom I work takes seriously the task of delivering vehicles and passengers from point A to point B safely and on time. I’m proud to be a member of the crew, to be part of the maritime tradition here. And not one of my shipmates has ever called me “Pops.”
The USS Manitowoc sped down the mountain of ocean water and into the darkness, like a roller coaster speeding into a dark tunnel and a sudden flash of lightning revealed what was ahead — another mountain of ocean water, a wave as tall as the ship – and the quartermaster thought this would be the day he would die. He and 580 other souls. Not in a battle against man or nations, but in a battle against Nature, swallowed whole by the ocean. The quartermaster had heard stories from the old sailors, of walls of water so large that they could shatter the thick windows of the bridge. He grasped the chart table and braced for impact and he prayed, prayed for deliverance from this powerful storm. Suddenly the Manitowoc was not merely a tank landing ship, was not merely a ship named for a city and county in Wisconsin. It was the Home of the Great Spirit, the meaning of its Anishanaabe name. The sacred vessel slammed into the mountain of ocean water and the next, and the next. And was not broken. And, as if cupped by the hand of Gichi-manidoo, the Creator of all Things, Giver of Life, the ship carried its sailors and Marines through the storm, and delivered them to the calm seas and clear skies of the dawn.
The USS Manitowoc patrols the Mediterranean off the coast of Lebanon in December, 1982. The warship was supporting the multi-national force involved in peacekeeping missions during the Lebanese Civil War from 1982 until the U.S. Withdrawl from operations in Lebanon in 1984.
Richard Walker spent part of his childhood on a Chris Craft Super Sport in Long Beach, California, got his first taste of sailing on a catamaran in Newport Beach, California, served as a helmsman and quartermaster aboard USS Manitowoc (LST 1180) from 1980-84, and married a lovely San Juan Island woman of Irish and Coast Salish ancestry who also happened to own a 26-foot Nordic Tug. He is a writer, author, and poet serving as a deckhand aboard the M/V Guemes.

RACING SHEET
Whidbey Island Race Week Words: Doug Hansen // Photos: Jan Anderson This July, the faithful headed to Oak Harbor for one of the longest running racing events in the region, the Whidbey Island Race Week (WIRW). WIRW sets the standard for Northwest multiday events and has been held for more than 30 years, mostly as a five-day event. Running for the first time this year as a Thursday through Sunday event, the race attracted 68 boats from all over the region. That’s not surprising considering this shorter format has been a success elsewhere in the country.
Excitement was high as final checks and tuning were locked in and the last non-critical items were abandoned on the docks as boats docked out for the first day of racing. A fickle westerly breeze settled in as boats dialed up and practiced spinnaker sets, takedowns, tacks and gybes. Racing got underway with a steady breeze that began to shift to the south as the first few fleets rounded the weather mark. This made for tricky tactics as passing lanes narrowed down significantly after the first mark. A short race was all that
the race committee could get off with the wind waning, and with more days ahead, the fleet headed for the barn for drinks and dancing. Day two brought an unexpected easterly wind, not something that normally sticks around long enough to race in. This breeze was holding strong, and the call was made to get boats racing. Things began with a seemingly endless upwind battle towards a buoy set in the entrance to Penn Cove. A treadmill of current made for slow going in the deep water away

from the shallow shoreline. The leeward mark set down at mussel farm made for interesting short tacking along mussel pens, then it was a crawl back upwind towards the finish against the current. Some close crosses and port starboard crossings tested the nerves of boat owners as tacticians pushed for every inch to cross the line first. Saturday began with light wind from the west that eventually turned north. While the wind was puffy and shifty inside the cove, a steady northerly settled into Saratoga Passage. The fleet was called to follow the race committee into the passage and the mark-set boats went to work preparing a course set. First classes got off the line and had nice breeze all the way to the weather mark. The breeze was steady and even required the crew weight on the weather rail for a few fleeting moments. Unfortunately, the wind began to diminish as boats rounded and began the spinnaker run to the leeward marks. It was a brutal fight to the finish as the

breeze continued to go away and Saratoga Passage took on the aesthetic of a mill pond. Not an easy finish for anyone, with even the lightest boat struggling to stay moving amongst the swirling current rivers that littered the course. Back on shore, spirits were high as the band played into the night and the first ever day of weekend racing at WIRW ended. The final day of racing brought with it wind, all be it from a very uncommon northwesterly direction, but the pressure was steady and the racecourse was set. The day began with a short diagonal course running north and south in Penn Cove, boat handling skills were at a premium as the shoreline came up quickly if you were forced to sail beyond the marks. The shifting breeze up and down the course paid big to those that could respond to the changes in breeze and keep moving in the direction of the next turn. Although the normal westerly wind never filled, the fleets played with about 8 knots of wind for three races before the time limit expired. Boats headed in to pack up camp and enjoy the awards. Although the schedule is condensed, the event organizers still pulled out all the stops to ensure that the event remains an iconic centerpiece to any Northwest racing boat’s summer calendar. Great competition on the water, live music every night, the rum tent in full swing—it is still the WIRW we all know and love. As summer series are winding up, a series of short course races are coming up on the calendar, and they will test just how well practiced crews are after a season of sailing. Kicking off with PITCH in Bellingham during the first weekend in September, and wrapping up with Seattle Yacht Club’s Grand Prix at the end of October, it is sure to be an actionpacked fall on the water.

P RTS OF CALL
Kodiak, Alaska By Brianna King Boats, bears, and bunkers. If you are a mariner in Alaska, the name Kodiak should be familiar on many levels. It’s the largest island in the Gulf of Alaska, home to a large fishing fleet, and, perhaps most importantly, home to the one of the largest Coast Guard bases in the United States and the Communication Station Kodiak, or COMMSTA [“comm-stay”] Kodiak. This COMMSTA is responsible for all radio communication in Alaskan waters, an absurdly huge area. These are the people you hear on the radio on every Discovery Channel show set in Alaskan waters (Deadliest Catch, Battle in the Bay, and Coast Guard Alaska), responding to emergencies and mariners in need. But emergencies don’t happen all the time, and Kodiak itself is well worth a visit. Its location in the middle of the Gulf of Alaska has kept it relatively isolated, but Kodiak provides great amenities and the creature comforts of a more centrally located port. The island and the main town bear the same name and are differentiated by Kodiak Island or the City of Kodiak. The history of both reflects the influence of the Russians and the native Sugpiaq people, who were the sole inhabitants until Russian fur traders arrived in the late 1700s. The impact of both cultures is still visible today in the architecture and place names. The natural history of the area is just as intriguing – Novarupta, a volcano that experienced the largest eruption of the 20th century, is located about 100 miles northwest of Kodiak. The 1912 eruption carried ash and darkness over the inhabitants of Kodiak for three days. The 1964 Good Friday Earthquake hit Kodiak particularly hard, and if you walk around town, you will see signs pointing out where the subsequent tsunami hit and destroyed most of the waterfront. After the earthquake, large ships were grounded to

be used as prefabricated buildings, one of which, The Star of Kodiak, is still in use as a fish processing plant. There’s a lot of World War II history in Kodiak as well. Whenever you go for a drive on the island’s limited road system, make sure to look up in the hills for WWII bunkers. There’s a few just south of town on the way to the airport, and you’ll come across one you can walk inside of at the Military Museum in Fort Abercrombie.
Another unique thing about Kodiak is the Pacific Spaceport Complex– about 50 miles south of the city of Kodiak. According to their website, they “provide access to planetary orbital space for commercial and government interests.” Perhaps if you’re lucky, you’d be able to see a rocket launch! The drive to the Spaceport is well worth the trip for its own sake, as you go along the coastline and through Pasagshak Valley.
1. Baranov Museum This museum is located inside the oldest building in Alaska. It was originally built and inhabited by Russian fur traders, then inhabited and owned by the Erskine family. Historical artifacts and artwork are on display in the exhibits, with information describing the way of life on the island in the 1800s and early 1900s. Keep an eye out for beautiful samovars – a traditional Russian tea brewer and dispenser that used coal or charcoal to keep the water heated.
2. Fort Abercrombie Park This is a beautiful park full of trails a few miles north of the main part of Kodiak City. Fortifications were established here during WWII, and today you can still see gun emplacements, underground magazines, and traces of military buildings. The Kodiak Military History Museum is located inside the Ready Ammunition bunker on Miller Point. Beautiful views of the coastline are available at every turn, and lakes stocked with fish provide some extra activities for visitors within the park.
3. Fishing Charters Kodiak is a destination location for the avid sports fisherman. Around Kodiak, you can fish for rockfish, cod, salmon, and of course, halibut. It’s highly likely that you will see sea otters, sea lions, and whales while out fishing, as well as getting a great new perspective on the island. There are many charter options to choose from in town, and none disappoint. There are also several affordable choices for processing and shipping your catch home. The weather is usually wet, so make sure to bring your foulweather gear.
4. Pillar Mountain Hike
^ Fort Abercrombie State Historic Park
N
This is probably the most popular hike from the city of Kodiak, and gives you a fantastic view of the city. Start from the center of town (near the boat harbors), up Hillcrest Avenue to Hillside Drive, and turn left on Pillar Mountain Road. The trail ends at the wind turbines (which supply almost 20% of the island’s yearly energy). This hike is about 8 miles round trip.

Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge
Besides salmon and halibut, one of the most well-known animals out of Alaska is the Kodiak bear. Kodiak bears are a subspecies of brown bear that area somewhat larger than their mainland cousins. The Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge was established specifically with the purpose of protecting the Kodiak bears and their habitat. If you can’t get out of Kodiak city to see the bears, there’s a visitor center in town where you can learn all about them and the refuge. The visitor center itself is free, with displays about the flora and fauna of the area, as well as some of the local history. As for getting out and about to see the bears on the rest of the island, check with some of the local sightseeing flights, or even go for a drive on the DONATED BOATS FOR SALE! limited road system down to Pasagshak.

AROUND
KODIAK GASTRONOMY For being an outpost in the middle of the ocean, Kodiak has many options for food. You may be surprised to hear that their local Asian cuisine is a culinary mainstay of the area. The restaurant Noodles has great dishes with giant portions. The local sushi restaurant, formerly known as the Powerhouse (because it is literally inside the old powerhouse) but now known as Kodiak Hana, serves beautiful sushi, often with locally sourced fish. Definitely try the miso black cod. Black cod is a commercially caught fish in Alaska, but a vast majority is exported, so not many Americans are familiar with this delicious and under appreciated fish.

ASK THE EXPERTS
Water, Water, Everywhere FE ATURING SCOT T MCG U IRE OF FCI WATERMAKERS
“Pure water is the world’s first and foremost medicine.” – [Alleged] Slovakian Proverb In many ways, the ability to make fresh drinking water while underway represents freedom. For what are we forced to seek the unpleasantries of land for, anyway? Often we go to shore simply to top off the water tanks. Throw in the factor that many of the world’s greatest cruising grounds are in remote corners of the world not renown for excellent water treatment facilities, and the case for a watermaker strengthens. The watermakers of today are benefitting greatly from technological advances. Nanomaterials are improving by leaps and bounds yearly, and this directly translates to superior filtration membranes, vital to the reverse osmosis used in watermaker units aboard. Power consumption, size, and programmable settings are all evolving, transforming watermakers into increasingly efficient, compact, and automated systems. Even units on the smaller side of the
I
Scott McGuire Scott McGuire is the founding president and CEO of Filtration Concepts Inc. (FCI) Watermakers. Under his vision and leadership, FCI has grown into an industry leader for watermakers aboard pleasure boats of all sizes, as well as commercial vessels and land-based water needs. He holds a BS in Business from Pepperdine University.

scale produce hundreds of gallons of drinkable freshwater a day from common seawater. Show this ability to a salty whaler from Herman Melville’s day, and surely talk of miracles would result. Thanks to their popularity and improvements, watermakers are also increasingly standard. Once considered a luxury (they are not cheap, by any measure), watermakers are now options among most mid- to large-sized yacht builders. How exactly do these systems work? Is the price coming down anytime soon? To sate our curiosity, we reached out to Scott McGuire, founder and president of Filtration Concepts Inc. (FCI) Watermakers. Considered a leader in on-board watermaking solutions, Southern Californiafounded and now Utah-headquartered FCI has been leading the charge in the industry since the company’s founding in 1992. NWY: What is the science behind watermakers? We use reverse osmosis as our main method of purifying seawater. Reverse osmosis in this case simply involves passing seawater (solvent) through a membrane that the solutes
(sea salt) cannot pass through. Reverse osmosis is commonly used on land as well to purify water for the public. NWY: What’s the basics of how watermakers work? Seawater is pumped through prefiltration to remove particulates. This step essentially prepares the seawater for the reverse osmosis, for we don’t want to compromise the membrane with free-floating particulates (sediment, plankton, etc.) that’s found in raw seawater. The filtered seawater is then pumped through a semi-permeable membrane at high pressure to extract the fresh water from the seawater. This is the reverse osmosis referred to earlier. The product water that successfully passes through the membrane is then routed to a salinity probe, which confirms the quality of the water produced. If the product water is acceptable, this purified water is transported to a fresh water holding tank. Unacceptable water that does not pass the salinity test is discarded and diverted with the brine discharge. NWY: Besides the watermaking unit itself, what else is required aboard? (piping, power, replaceable membranes, etc.?)
For a yachting application, the installation would require an inlet thru-hull, discharge thru-hull, connection to the freshwater tank, electrical connection to the breaker panel, and a line from the boat’s freshwater pump to the watermaker for the automatic fresh water flush. It’s probably best to view the watermaker as less of a unit and more of an integrated system aboard. With FCI’s inclusive pricing on our watermaking systems, you don’t need to buy add-ons, accessories, or upgrades to achieve desired performance. What’s more, FCI systems come fully calibrated versus some brands that require additional accessories or calibration solutions to complete the set up. NWY: What kind of maintenance or best practices do watermakers require? Watermakers have come a long way because of our automatic freshwater flush. This is done after every use, automatically. Because of this, the maintenance has been reduced to changing the oil every 500 hours and changing the prefilter as needed. Before this, freshwater flushes were manual and more susceptible to human error, leading to premature failures. If you’re planning some longhaul cruising, important spare parts to carry on board include prefilters, high-pressure pump oil, GAC filters, high and lowpressure pump seals, and highpressure pump valves. It is recommended to replace seals after every 1,000 hours of use and valves after every 1,500 hours of use. NWY: How much water can these units make? What’s the scale that we’re talking here? FCI manufactures RO (reverse osmosis) plants capable of making 200 gpd (gallons per day)
to 256,000 gpd. Of course, that upper limit is for land-based watermakers. Our marine group of watermakers ranges up to our Atlas+ model that can deliver 3,600 gpd for both recreational and commercial vessels. We also make custom watermakers as needed, so the sky really is the limit in terms of what we can do aboard. NWY: What are some big differences between modern watermakers and ones from five or even ten years ago? Our components have evolved significantly to accommodate the marine environment and provide longer life. The biggest difference in functionality is our control systems. We offer fully automated systems that operate with the touch of a button. No more having to go to the watermaker and manually adjusting pressures. We [FCI] are the only watermaker manufacturer to offer controls that are Bridge Classified for marine use with Type Approval Certifications from: ABS, GL, Lloyd’s Register EMEA, Det Norske Veritas, and Russian Maritime Register of Shipping. NWY: For what kind of boat would you recommend a watermaker unit for? Any boat that has a genset or invertor and has to come to port to fill up can use a watermaker. NWY: Are watermakers becoming more standard on mid- to largesize yachts? Due to the often considerable fresh water demands, they are now part of the conversation when building or buying any yacht. Beyond mere drinking and bathing, there’s often a need to fill hot tubs and pools and use it for boat systems and routine deck washing. We recommend our Neptune series, which

This time of year, you may catch anything from pinks and silvers to Chinook and chum. Just because a fish is pushing 20 pounds, doesn’t mean it’s a king. There are good reference materials available from fisheries agencies, tackle shops, or online. Keep a guide on your vessel and familiarize yourself with it. Albacore should still be productive off the coast from Northern California to Vancouver Island. Sometimes September can be great a month for catching these fish, plus there is the the possibility of good weather. Nothing
better than canning fresh albacore caught on Saturday while watching the Seahawks on Sunday! Some tuna sashimi with a little soy and wasabi hits the spot at half-time. Or, if you’re not able to get out in the ocean, crab may still be available for harvest in some locations. I’m starting to get lots of good appetizer ideas for football season. Summer may be coming to an end this month, but the fish will still be available and worth the chase. Until next month, go Seahawks, go Cougs, and let’s go get some!
Kevin’s Pick: SILVER HORDE SPOONS Enticing salmon to strike in the saltwater is all about getting the right action from your lure. Silver Horde spoons are the some of the best by test at using that action to produce fish. This local company uses on-the-water research and development to keep coming up with new advancements in color, sizes, and shapes of their trolling spoons. Whether it’s the Kingfisher lite, Coho Killer, Tailwagger, or Two Faced spoons, they all match the specific baitfish you’ll find salmon feeding on. You can find Silver Horde products at almost all stores that carry fishing gear in the Northwest. Go to silverhorde.com to check out the full lineup.

Second Wave of Second Wave By Eva Seelye
After a long haul and time adrift, one of the only marine consignment stores in the Seattle area has navigated its way out of retirement and back into our boating community, reopening on the shores of Gig Harbor as Second Wave @ the Boatyard. It’s been four years since the original Second Wave closed in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood and the closure hit boaters like a stray log hitting a hull. Former yard manager, current senior advisor at Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard, and Second
Wave enthusiast Mark Lindeman states, “When Second Wave closed, I really missed it. It was a place where boaters could find what they needed and it was a place where boaters liked to gather.” Previous West Marine employee and now Second Wave @ the Boatyard Manager Gary Ford states, “Our customers are absolutely stoked.” Gary and his team along with Second Wave’s former manager Patti Segulja-Lau spent the last several months transforming the Lighthouse Marine LLC repair
shop on Harborview Drive into this new piece of boater heaven. The shop opened their hatches to the public in June with free hot dogs, beverages, and music to accompany shoppers as they browsed some new but mostly used marine items. “Viral” was used by Gary to describe the public’s exponential interest in Second Wave’s re-opening. “The amount of enthusiasm we’re hearing from our customers is unbelievable,” he continued. Product is constantly coming in according to Gary, and the excitement keeps the store’s staff busy with an all-hands-on-deck mentality. Six part-time employees keep the shop shipshape. Some staff, like Tacoma shipwright Brian Johnson, have years of experience. Team member Paul Diederich spends some of his semi-retirement working here.
ODOR-FREE
The shop offers everything from air horns and anchors to blocks, barbecues, propellers, power cords, and the like. Venture here to claim your plunder, as buried treasure is omnipresent.
Top: The renovation team hard at work on the new store. Bottom: Manager Gary Ford, right, thanks a customer for consigning boating items.
Stop by Second Wave @ the Boatyard Monday through Friday 1000 to 1800 hours, Saturday 1000 hours to 1700 hours or Sunday 1300 to 1600 hours.
Stay on the water longer. Fewer pumpouts are needed with Dometic’s low-water-use MasterFlush™ (0.7 liters) and VacuFlush® (0.3 liters) toilet systems. Dometic’s OdorSafe® Plus hose and innovative holding tank ECO Vent Filter combine to provide a marine sanitation system that is odor-free from start to finish.

Squidless Out West By Eva Seelye
The weather was looking up for squid fishermen last fall when cooler ocean temperatures rolled in, but this summer really did bring the heat. Every year, West Coast squid fishermen have a yearly quota of 118,000 tons in a commercial season that runs from April 1 to March 31 of the following year. As of June 28, 2018, seiners have only caught 9,931 tons of squid, which led California Wetfish Producers Association Executive Director Diane Pleschner-Steele to speculate that it is unlikely that seiners will catch their quota again this year. The culprit? The threat of returning El Niño conditions. Seiners remained hopeful when ocean temperatures cooled last fall after another less-than-satisfactory harvest. Optimism was in the air until this steamy summer began, concerning fishermen once again. By late June, Oregon reported healthy landings, and according to Pleschner-Steele, harvest numbers are increasing in California. “We’re watching the inklings of an El Niño,” said PleschnerSteele. “It’s an interesting season. It started well, and it’s still going, better than when we were in the throes of El Niño,” but the fleet hasn’t met quota in recent years thanks to oceanic conditions and other contributing factors. The 118,000-ton squid quota is considered an optimal harvest number these days. Although numbers are dwindling, National Fishermen reports that these shortages might be a good thing economically with our current tariff situation with China. A steep 25 percent tariff went into effect on U.S. squid products shipped to China, which is one of the West Coast’s primary squid markets. Pleschner-Steele remarks on this issue, “It’s basically shutting down the China market for us.” She goes on to explain that a pre-existing tariff of 27 percent was already in place and the 25 percent tariff is now stacked on top of that. “There are other markets out there,” explains Pleschner-Steele, “it’s just at which price point?”

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