NWYIt’s happening. After what seemed like a vast, long hiatus, recreational boating is slowly opening back up. A couple weeks ago, I joined my family on a pri-vate island in the San Juan Islands for the day, as featured

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

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

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

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

Eight Bells for Doug Fryer

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

—Bob Perry, Yacht Designer Douglas Martin Fryer died on Friday, April 17, 2020. He was an accomplished sailor, a mari-time and admiralty att orney, a father, grand-father, husband and friend. Night Runneris a 42-foot Perry-design cutt er.

Washington Sea Grant Announces Boater Safety Programs

By Aaron Barnett

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

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

Marine Debris The majority of marine debris is composed of small plastics. Debris can be anything from cigarett e butt s to food wrappers and fi shing line. Plastics are ex-posed to tidal action and solar radiation that break down the plastic into smaller and smaller pieces, making it both harder for collection and easier for wildlife to accidentally consume. “Ma-rine debris issues in the Pacifi c Northwest aff ect all of us, things like derelict fi shing gear entan-

gling our marine mammals or trash washing up on our beaches,” says Andrew Mason, the Pacifi c Northwest Regional Coordinator for Washington’s Marine Debris program. “If we all do our part, we can reduce the amount of marine debris that enters our coastal waters.” Marine Debris Reduction Tips:● Don’t bring it. The best way

to prevent trash from entering our waterways is not bring-ing it in the fi rst place. Try to replace single-use plastic products and containers with reusable metal. This can be as simple as bringing a metal water bott le instead of a case of plastic bott les.

● Make a waste management plan for your boat before you go out on the water. Ask these questions: Where are the waste receptacles on your boat? Do they have a secure lid? Are they secure in case of wind or rough weather? Who is responsible for emp-tying them? Answering these questions before you go out on the water can make a big diff erence.

● If a piece of trash does go overboard, take it seriously. Commit to retrieving what-ever waste was lost and consider picking up a couple pieces of trash, when safe to do so, that aren’t yours. It only takes a little effort to leave our waterways better than you found them.

● Some debris is too big or hazard-ous to pick up. If you encounter hazardous waste, like chemical spills or biohazards, or see large debris, which might prove a navigational hazard, such as derelict vessels or abandoned fishing equipment, don’t at-tempt to clean them up. Instead report it to the Department of Ecology Environmental Report Tracking System for environ-mental hazards or DNR’s Der-elict and Abandoned Reporting Tool (DART) for abandoned vessels. If you are unsure who

Marine Debris, Small Oil Spills, and Orca Rangefi nder

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

to call, use the U.S. Coast Guard National Response Center at 800-424-8802 or online at nrc.uscg.mil.

● If any debris poses an imme-diate threat to you or other boaters, hail the Coast Guard on VHF Ch 16.

● Boaters can also do their part by identifying and submitt ing photos and locations of debris, ranging from bott le caps to derelict vessels, through the Marine Debris Tracker app. For more information, and to download the app, go to marinedebris.engr.uga.edu.

Oil Spills Small oil spills may seem like only a drop in the proverbial bucket, but they add up. Between 2011 and 2015, recreational ves-sels reported spills amounting to almost 6,000 gallons, and many go unreported. Often these spills are under a gallon and can be hard to spot and track. So how can boaters make sure they don’t pollute the waters they enjoy?● Prevent oil from entering the

water system: place a spill pre-vention pad or bilge pillow in the bilge before you leave the dock. These are small absorbent pads that, when placed along-side the bilge pump, prevent oily discharge from entering the water. Pick up a small spill pre-vention kit through Washington Sea Grant or your local marina.

● Checking engines and perform-ing regular maintenance can also have a big impact. Peri-odically check that all bolts are tight and pumps and lines are uncracked.

● If you do spill, or you see a spill, report it to the Washington Emergency Management Divi-sion at 1-800-258-5990 or the U.S. Coast Guard National Response Center at 800-424-8802.

The San Juan Islands are an internationally acclaimed boat-ing destination and each sum-mer our waters fill with local and visiting boaters. Stunning landscapes and a rich marine environment provide extensive recreational opportunities such as wildlife viewing, fishing, and crabbing. This amazing group of islands, where boaters find wonder and joy, are also critical habitats where fish and wildlife find food and shelter. Sensitive eelgrass habitats are nurseries for juvenile Chinook salmon as well as spawning areas for Pacific herring - small schooling fish that support seabirds, big fish, and marine mammals. Eelgrass damaged by boat anchors can take years to recover. To help salmon and the endangered Southern Resident orcas, avoid herring spawning grounds, anchor out in waters deeper than the eelgrass, or use a mooring buoy when staying outside a marina.

Protect marine mammals by keeping your distance, reduc-ing speeds, and turning off fish finders and echo sounders when not in use. Keep marine waters clean by using pumpouts, keep-ing your boat in good working order, and quickly cleaning even small spills. Friends of the San Juans have created a helpful Boater Guide to help you plan ahead and en-sure your boating experience in the San Juan Islands is safe and enjoyable for people and nature. Visit sanjuans.org/greenboating to check it out for yourself.

Washington Sea Grant Announces Boater Safety ProgramsContinued from Page 20

Orca Rangefi nder In response to the new distance regulations for killer whale encounters, Washington Sea Grant has developed the handheld paper Orca Range-fi nder. Based on an elongated right triangle, the rangefi nder gives the user a fairly good idea if they are too close to a whale based on the latest requirements. Orca Rangefi nder Steps:Step 1 Hold card at arms-length and close your right eye.

Step 2 Looking through your left eye, line up the left edge of the card with the whale in the water. Step 3 Now close your left eye and look through your right. If the whale appears to the left of the 300 yard mark on the card, move away — you are too close.

400 yards/1200 feet

In Washington State, it is illegal to get closer than 400 yards in front of or behind moving orcas, or cause a vessel to approach within 300 yards of an orca in any manner. RCW 77.15.740 Not intended for navigation; accuracy is not guaranteed.

Step one: Hold card at arm’s length and close your right eye.

Step two: Looking through your left eye, line up the left edge of the card with the whale in the water.

Step three: Now close your left eye and look through your right. If the whale appears to the left of the 300 yard mark on the card, move away — you are too close.

The Threshold of Change

T


Securing Your Boat During Uncertain TimesBy Brandon Wright

After over a decade of de-veloping systems and products to protect military bases in the Middle East, royal palaces, and even the borders of countries, I’ve turned my efforts towards protecting boats. This pivot hap-pened after an incident involv-ing my own boat in 2017. During the COVID-19 crisis, I’ve noticed an uptick in boat security events in the Pacific Northwest. These incidents included a 54’ Sea Ray stolen just 200 feet from my of-fice in Victoria, dinghies that have disappeared, and copious

amounts of fishing gear now on the black market. In response, I’ve compiled some tips that will help you protect your boat and your gear. For starters, make your boat unappealing to criminals. In my daily dock walks, I see a lot of fi shing gear (mainly downrig-gers) left unsecured and outboard motors unlocked. Make a small investment to buy some locks from your local hardware store. All outboard motors and down-riggers can accept a basic lock, which provides the simplest way

to improve your boat’s security. Next up, secure your dinghy. They’re very valu-able and gener-ally tied loosely beside your boat. If you can secure your dinghy with a lock and chain, you create an ob-stacle for the thief to overcome. The more locks and chains a thief can see, the less likely they’ll stop and target your boat. Definitely add a security system. By adding a security system to your boat that consists of door sensors, laser sensors, and a siren you will either scare off the intruders before they can steal your gear, or greatly reduce impact they have on your boat. If they do make it inside your boat, systems like BRNKL (pronounced “barnacle”) will capture a photo of the intruder that can be used by the authori-ties to apprehend the individual. These security systems pro-vide alerts to you via your smartphone, tablet or computer if someone has come onboard your vessel. In addition, these systems will also track your boat’s GPS, bilge pumps, bat-tery voltages, and shore power connection. Most insurance companies will provide dis-counts to boat owners who have these security and monitoring systems on board. Follow these tips to decrease the chances of your boat being targeted by thieves. If you have any questions about boat secu-rity or would like speak to me directly about your own boat’s security, I can be reached at [email protected]. Until next time, stay smart and stay secure! Brandon Wright is a security and surveillance subject matt er expert. He is also the CEO of Barnacle Systems, a manufacturer of boat security and monitoring products used to protect recreational, industrial, and military boats around the world.

Sales Momentum Sparks Up at Worth Avenue YachtsBy Schelleen Rathkopf

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

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

due to boat show cancellations, Worth is focusing on virtual boat shows and finding success there. “The team is looking forward to display-ing yachts of all sizes at the upcoming virtual show,” says Laura Yager, marketing director. “We have been following the increase in web traffi c and have launched a few fun initia-tives while our physical offi ces are closed.” Worth is also working on new itineraries and keeping their content light with some social media contests on Facebook and Instagram. In addition to participating in the Palm Beach International Virtual Boat Show, Worth Av-enue Yachts is also creating their own. “We are planning on maximizing the exposure for our existing listings,” adds Yager, “These owners deserve a hard-working team behind them, and we appreciate that they have stuck with us.” For more information on yachts for sale, charter, new construction, or listing your yacht, contact Worth Avenue Yachts at (206) 209-1920 or [email protected].

Allison Lehman Joins Swiftsure YachtsBy Kurt Hoehne

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

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

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

Lehman and her husband cruised their Sabre 426 on the West Coast from the Broughtons in British Columbia to the Sea of Cortez in Mexico and back. “Allison is a great fi t,” says Helling. “She’s an experienced off shore sailor dedicated to fi nding the right boat for clients. This also enhances our presence on the Bay. We fi nd a lot of Bay Area custom-ers looking to Seatt le for excellent yachts and vice versa.”

Port of Port Townsend Marine Trades Step Up to HelpBy Schelleen Rathkopf

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

information on the commu-nity face mask program, visit www.co.jefferson.wa.us/1450/VolunteerHow-to-Help. You’ll also find on the site a mask pattern and drop off locations accepting mask donations.

Picturesque Port Townsend and its marine businesses are working hard to pitch in to help doctors and nurses in Jeff erson County.

and instead those events will just come with an appropriate but more generic headline. For example, a "Winter Weather Advisory" for Seattle would just become "1-3 inches of snow is expected in the Seattle area." The exception is the Small Craft Advisory since that is, in essence, a call to action now for mariners and thus would be renamed "Small Craft Warning." However, while the name changes, the criteria will re-main the same. For the Pacific Northwest and California, it's for sustained winds or frequent gusts of 21-33 knots (24-38 mph) and/or wave heights reaching 10 feet or higher. Small craft warn-ings can also be issued for rough bar conditions, such as those frequently occurring near the mouth of the Columbia River. Neither the National Weather Service nor the Coast Guard defines what size boat qualifies as a "small craft." "Any vessel that may be adversely affected by Small Craft Advisory criteria should be considered a small craft," NOAA says on their Small Craft Advisory/Warning definition page. "Other considerations include the experience of the vessel operator, and the type, overall size, and sea worthiness of the vessel."

West Marine and Ocean Reef Help Out During PandemicBy Schelleen Rathkopf

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

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

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

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

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

I have already heard back from friends and family in Illinois and California that it was “incredibly sweet.” In a time when we were not able to come together and share our loss, you helped us celebrate his life that was well lived.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Emerald Pacific Yachts teamed up with world-renowned superyacht designer Jonathan Quinn Barnett of Seattle to introduce an entirely new cutting-edge design in the Horizon V68. You’ll find luxurious comfort with superyacht qualities and spacious accommodations that are simply unsurpassed. The new Horizon V68 motoryacht build incorporates a manageable owner/operator frameworks to take you and your special guests where anywhere you want to go. The V68 has been exquisitely designed with wide side decks, a voluminous interior that features large windows in the main deck and cabins, and comfortable outdoor seating areas for entertaining and hanging out. She offers a flexible three or four stateroom layout, with optional crew quarters aft, as

well as various configurations for all three decks including open and enclosed bridges. The V68’s plumb bow design – a striking feature from Stimson Yachts’ hull design – allows for a longer waterline and reduces drag at lower displacement speeds. The larger hull beam also makes for greater stability when it counts most. This yacht is ideal for families who want safety, solid

architecture, and ease of operation. It features zero-speed stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters, wireless docking controls, and automatic trim tabs, and the interior has been professionally decorated by the JQB team. It definitely is a must-see if a superyacht is in your future.

There is something special about owning a Hinckley, and this Talaria is a great find. Created in response to customer requests for a Picnic Boat with more space and more power, the Talaria line represents the pin-nacle of American yachting. Passengers are greeted by intricate woodworking, which reveals the regard for detail held by Hinck-ley craftsmen. An enclosure between the cockpit and elegant salon offers open air, single-level entertaining and a protected, secure, and temperature-controlled inte-rior when closed. The Talaria yachts are built in Maine of epoxy-infused carbon fiber and Kevlar. Their lines are beautiful, and nothing looks like or handles like a Hinckley. This Talaria

43 was built to be the best in show and is equipped with every conceivable option. With her striking midnight blue hull, she comes with over $260k in options and upgrades including the larger engine for a much more robust ride. Once you step aboard, you’ll fully appreciate the uncom-

promising quality found in two gorgeous staterooms and tasteful, airy floor plan. The graceful lines and glistening intricate brightwork reveal once again Hinckley craftsmanship. She is a sight to behold.

If you’re searching for the perfect new home away from home, you’ll want to check out this classic Ocean Alexander Pilothouse in Seattle. She’s in great condition and offers up comfort, class, and many wonderful fea-tures to keep everyone on board entertained and cozy. With her raised Portuguese bridge, three roomy staterooms, and three heads, she provides a lot of space to move around and take in the spectacular water views. The fi nish work is also quite impressive with holly hard-wood fl ooring and the recently re-furbished teak interior in the salon and galley.

The equipment list is extensive. She’s well equipped with twin diesel engines, full instrumentation, a Hurricane diesel furnace, King air conditioning, twin gen-erators, water maker, block heaters, bimini with full enclosure, covered side decks, Frigidaire stack washer and dryer and so much more. Her last haulout was in 2018, where she received a fresh coat of bottom paint, so you’ll be in great shape to start cruising. There’s also no need to think about a tender, as she comes with a 15’ Caribe RIB that is in stellar condition.

Ocean Alexander creates yachts of the highest quality, and this one will surely make your dreams on the water come true.

Evin Moore is a freelance writer and regular Northwest Yachting contributor. He grew up in Redmond, Washington, graduated from UW, and looks to get on the water every chance he gets. Say hello at [email protected].

As the weather improves and the Pacific Northwest slowly starts to open back up, many are debating whether to stay home or head out to the water for the first time this season. No matter what you choose to

do, you’ll be able to enjoy this month’s Digital Deliv-ery of apps and podcasts! Starting things off, we have Fish Stories, a podcast with the sole mission of preserving the fishing tales and memories of the average angler. Fish Stories is made up of episodes often sub-mitted by listeners, who record their own stories. The project was founded by Buddy Seiner, who began fishing with his father when he was just two years old. With over a decade of experience in nonprofit management and communications, Buddy wanted to provide a place for all fishing stories to be collected and preserved for future generations of anglers. Episodes can range from local anglers recounting the day they caught the record-busting walleye to the Executive Director of the Russia Fishing Federation giving an in-depth talk about sportfishing in Russia. Where other platforms might rely on high-definition videos and expensive graphics and editing, the Fish Stories Podcast is audio only, ignoring the bells and whistles for pure storytelling. Head to fishstories.org to start listening today.

When you finally do get out of the house, no matter where you decide to go, you’ll want a reliable navigation device to help get you there. It’s a good idea to have a naviga-tion app on your phone as a backup in case

your chart plotter malfunctions. A phone navigation app also comes in handy on smaller boats without a chart plotter. The iSail GPS app uses NOAA nautical raster charts that download to your device, making them available even when you cannot connect to data. A simple-to-use, no-frills app, iSail GPS makes it easy to set two points of interest and determine the course, heading, bearing, distance, cross track error, velocity made good, and ETA. Popular waypoints, routes, and tracks can all be downloaded. The app stores up to 1,024 charts without the use of cellular data. In case of man overboard situations, a pinpoint can be made instantly on the map to mark the

location the crew member went overboard. The iSail GPS app is available for $7.99 for iOS. If you’re the outdoorsy type, maybe

you can celebrate the return of fishing by trekking far from home and finding a new favorite fishing spot with apps like the onX Hunt app. Already popular with hunters,

hikers, and campers, the onX Hunt app can turn your smartphone into a GPS with aerial view topographical maps. Anglers far off the beaten trail can use it to find secluded river and lake fishing spots and then find their way back at the end of the trip. Set waypoints to find your camp location, vehicle, fishing spots, and other important destinations. The pre-mium version has proprietary maps that include public lands operated by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Landowner names are displayed when you are near private lands. The onX app has the largest map database of roads and trails nationwide and a subscription to onX costs $30 a year for one state. A $100 a year subscription gives you access to all 50 states. The basic onX app is free to download for iOS and Android. While you’re getting away from it all,

you’ll also be far away from the lights and pollution of the cities, and the star gazing op-portunities will be far more clear and vivid. Pouring yourself a drink and stargazing can

be a very relaxing way to end the day. And if all that doesn’t persuade you, remember that for thousands of years, mariners navigated by the stars alone, so spending a little time staring at the night sky pays homage to our nautical forebears. To aid in your celestial navigation, a star gazing app like Star Walk 2 can be helpful. This app can identify individual stars, constellations, planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and structures like the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station. The augmented reality features of the app allow you to point your smartphone’s camera at the sky and all points of interest will be highlighted on screen. A time feature allows users to project the locations of stars and planets at different times of the night and the day. Receive up-to-date astronomy news so you never miss a meteor shower or astronomy event again. Download the Star Walk 2 app for free on iOS or Android today.

Keeping Yourself Distracted


Boating with Missy By Melissa Gervais

Missy grew up boating with her family in the Gulf Islands. She works for a yacht services company based in Vancouver, B.C. and boats most weekends from April to October. A self-proclaimed weekend warrior, she enjoys blogging about everything cool for women who boat at missygoesboating.com.

My next-door neighbors are also boaters, and I was recently invited to their house for a social-distance happy hour. I took my chair, snacks, disinfecting wipes, glass, and wine. It was weird, there were no big hugs, and we

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

My new go-to CBG (cheap but good) is a red wine from Italy called Montalto Sicilia Nero D’Avola. But unfortu-nately, it’s only available in a regular-sized wine bottle. I have called and emailed the vineyard several times to ask them why they can’t put their wine in a bladder. No response. Some of my friends buy plastic bladders on Amazon and fill them with their favorite wines, but this is just too much work for me. As my Italian is getting better and better, I plan to just keep calling. This year our group of want-to-be sommeliers expanded the quest to include Tetra Paks and cans. Tetra Paks hold 500 ml of wine, although there are a few one-serving, mini Tetra Paks available, which are quite perfect for a quiet lunch on the beach or to toss in a backpack. When

they are finished, you can roll them into a tiny ball, so they don’t take up a lot of room in the recycling bin. Last summer, my sister Heidi hooked me up with bubbles in a can. Occasionally, I enjoy a glass of champagne or rosé in the afternoon, but don’t want to open a whole bottle and have it go flat. She gave me The Bubbles by Underwood, and it was dee-lish. Until then, I had never considered wine in a can, so I was surprised at all the available options. These single-serving vin vessels have clever names, beautiful labels, and an incredible mix of flavors, including watermelon, cranberry, grape-fruit, peach, and citrus. The advertising claims that they are the perfect solution for drinking alone, or when you want red and your guests want white.

I will keep trying, and I know I will find a new cor-rugated favorite; however, there is still a challenge with the optics. When I spend the time to set a beautiful table or make a creative appetizer to take to a dock party, I don’t want to put a box or Pak on the table. They are the sweatpants of the wine world. To solve this, I purchased a beautiful decanter on Amazon, that is made of BPA-free, high quality, shatterproof plastic, and even has a built-in aerator. Very Jackie O and no one has to know. I hope we will all be raising a glass on the back deck soon. If you have a favorite, please send your recommen-dations my way at [email protected]. This is the kind of homework I don’t mind doing.

It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere

Peter Schrappen is the Northwest Marine Trade Association’s Government A� airs Director and the Clean Boating Foundation’s Executive Director. Additionally, he serves on the boards of the Boating Safety Advisory Council, Washington Boating Alliance, and U.S. Superyacht Association.

A show of hands, please—Who among us predicted the COVID-19 pandemic? What if I told you that a quick Google search of “1918 fl u economic impact” would result in a report from the trusted Federal Reserve Board of St.

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

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

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

2. Stay at least 6 feet away from others when launching your boat.

3. Wear a mask and one-time use gloves when fueling and encountering high-touch areas.

4. Don’t raft up with other boaters.

5. “Pack it in, pack it out.”

On WatchBy Peter Schrappen

The Common Sense Approach

Or as my father would have said, “Use good common sense.” Call ahead to make sure your boat can be pumped out and your favorite marina is open. As Governor Inslee, an experienced mariner in his own right once said, “Think of this reopening as turning up a dimmer switch.” The good news is that we are open and prett y much back in business (although I am still concerned about boat manufacturing, which is not quite open yet as we go to press on this issue). The unfortunate news is that this entire situation changes day by day and if there’s a spike in COVID-19 cases, we could slide back to where we found ourselves in March. As I’ve previously writt en, I’m reminded of the game “Chutes and Ladders.” Until next month, I’ll see you from a safe distance on the water.

Your STAYCATION HOME is Waiting!

Beauti ful and Wonderful Daysare on the Horizon!

Life on the water is slowly getting back to normal as the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) cracks open the door to fishing opportunities after a month-long statewide closure tied to the COVID-19

“Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order. A few early-summer salmon fisheries start this month and the highlight will be the coho fishery in central Puget Sound, where in recent years, the fishing has been nothing short of stellar. This marine area is located from the Apple Cove Point-Edwards Point boundary south to the northern tip of Vashon Island. Fishing is open June 1 through November 11 for coho, and beginning July 16, hatchery Chinook may be retained. Most coho are not big and average 2 to 4 pounds, but are wonderful table fare as their main diet consists of abundant krill. Coho tend to be found in the shipping lanes from Kingston-Apple Cove Point south to Jefferson Head. Other productive areas include Richmond Beach; West Point south of Shilshole Bay; and the eastern side of Bainbridge Island from Point Monroe south to Restoration Point. For those seeking out an early-summer Chinook (averaging 10 to 20 pounds), the Tulalip Bay Bubble Fishery – located just north of Everett – is open each week from 12:01 a.m. Fridays through 11:59 a.m. Mondays only (closed on June 15 for a tribal ceremonial fishery). Fishing is closed east of the line from Mission Point to Hermosa Point. Southern Puget Sound south of the Narrows Bridge is open for hatchery Chinook and has been a decent

early-summer fishery at places like Point Fosdick and off Fox Island’s east side at Gibson Point, Toy Point, and Fox Point. Lingcod fishing is open daily through June 15 in the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Sekiu east to Port Angeles; San Juan Islands, both sides of Whidbey Island, and northern, central, south-central, and southern Puget Sound. Look for lingcod at Possession Bar on the south side of Whidbey Island; the breakwaters at Elliott Bay, Shilshole, and Edmonds marinas; Point Evans, south of Hat Island, southeast of

L


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

Before You Go• Check what is open. While many state-managed land

destinations are open for day use, other local, tribal, and federal land may still be closed.

• Stick to day trips close to home. Overnight stays are not permitt ed. This could change once the Governor Jay Inslee approves the next phase.

• Stay with immediate household members only. Recreation with those outside of your household creates new avenues for virus transmission.

• Come prepared. Visitors may fi nd reduced or limited restroom services as staff begin the process to reopen facilities at wildlife areas and water access sites. You are advised to bring your own soap, water, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper, as well as a mask or bandana to cover your nose and mouth.

• Enjoy the outdoors when healthy. If you have symptoms of fever, coughing, or shortness of breath, save your outdoor adventure for another day.

When You Get There• Avoid crowds. Be prepared to go somewhere else or come

back another time if your destination looks crowded.• Practice physical distancing. Keep six feet between you

and those outside your immediate household. Launch one boat at a time to give others enough space to launch safely. Leave at least one parking space between your vehicle and the vehicle next to you. Trailer your boat in the same way.

• Wash your hands often. Keep up on personal hygiene and bring your own water, soap, and hand sanitizer with you.

• Pack out what you pack in. Take any garbage with you, including disposable gloves and masks.

Other Upcoming Fishing Opportunities• On the coast, Chinook fishing was scheduled to open on June

20 at Neah Bay, La Push, Westport, and Ilwaco; although as of press time each port remained closed due to COVID-19 concerns. Anglers should monitor the WDFW website for updates.

• The spot shrimp season in Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands was scheduled to reopen on May 16, but no specific details were provided prior to the magazine’s press deadline, so anglers should consult the WDFW website to see what is open this month.

• As of mid-May, WDFW staff still were in limbo on when the inner-Strait of de Fuca and Puget Sound halibut fisheries would reopen. Heather Hall, a WDFW halibut resource manager, indicated they were communicating with local port and community officials on when they could safely open the fishery. Anglers should check the WDFW for updates.

• For those making summer fishing plans in Alaska and Canada, the travel ban was expected to be lifted soon, although many small-town communities were unsure if they could handle out-of-town visitors. Before heading north, check for updates on the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s website atadfg.alaska.gov and the Fisheries and Oceans Canada website at dfo-mpo.gc.ca/index-eng.htm.

OnboardBy Margaret Pommert

COVID-19 is aff ecting everyone’s cruising plans this season. Mine included. My annual trek up the Inside Passage to Alaska with the Waggoner Flotilla was cancelled. Many of us are in the same boat, regardless if our plans

were to cruise the San Juan Islands, explore the Inside Pas-sage, or compete in a sailboat regatt a or long-distance race.Even after the immediate impact of COVID-19 passes, it has permanently reshaped the way we cruise. We can no longer assume a destination community will welcome us with open arms. It’s also been “a shot across the bow” from a risk— conta-gious disease on board either underway or in port—largely ignored by Pacifi c Northwest cruisers and distance racers. For as long as humans (and animals) are on earth, there will be contagious disease. The threat isn’t just epidemics like the current one, but “normal” contagious diseases such as a norovirus or fl u. There are also food-borne ill-nesses such as E.coli or salmonella caused by pathogenic bacteria. For a cruising boat, an incapacitated skipper or key crew member threatens safety of the entire boat and crew, even if the others do not become sick.So, for those planning to go cruising, whether sooner or later, what contagious disease procedures should a Pacifi c Northwest cruiser consider? For guidance on this, I asked Dr. Ann Jarris, a board-certifi ed emergency medicine physician and co-founder and CEO of Discovery Health MD. As experts in maritime and remote medical risk management, the company’s mott o is, “We Bring Mariners Home Safely.” Among the services that Discovery Health MD provides are medical chest design and SeaDoc® Medical Advisory Services, which provides remote medical consultation support to both fi shing and private vessels. The company also assists with ship diversion and medical evacuation coordination. Dr. Jarris has sailed as an expedition team physician to Antarctica with Quark Expeditions and understands the challenges of a medical issue on board in remote places. Here’s a small sample of the items posted at Discovery Health MD that I found interesting and thought-provoking:• Identify what the minimum safe staffi ng requirements are for a vessel in case of a widespread isolation or quar-antine. I think this is a key question that many would-be cruisers don’t want to consider, but need to. What happens if even the captain alone gets sick? Is there someone else on board that can perform all the day-to-day operations of the vessel, including emergency response?• Identify which rooms (cabins) will be used for isolation of sick crew and identify which rooms will be used to quarantine crew with close contact exposure to a suspected

CCOVID-19 case if necessary. If the vessel does not have separate isolation facilities, consider the entire vessel under quarantine. Restrict access to rooms used for isolation or quarantine for at least two hours after the sick person has left the room/cabin.• Identify local lodging options if you have to leave sick crew on shore. Identify contact information for local medical clinics if you have a suspected COVID-19 case. “If you have a crew member get sick on board, you can’t just

drop them off someplace on shore and take off again,” off ers Dr. Jarris. “That’s not happen-ing. People need to think about that. If you get to someplace like Alaska, with a mandatory 14-day quarantine period, and someone on board your boat is sick, you don’t get to just get off your boat and go to the hospital.”• Ensure adequate PPE is available on board. Have a disposal plan in place as soiled PPE should be stored in sealed, watertight garbage bags. Recreational boats need to think not only about the challenges of gett ing PPE, but also

storing used PPE safely as waste facilities ashore become harder to access.• The galley should be prepared to send individual meals to crew and clean dishes separately. Consider use of single-use cups, plates, etc., but it’s challenging to store that much waste on even fairly large recreational cruisers.• It is recommended to minimize crew changes. Once a vessel crew has been established, undergone 14 days without illness, and has had no new COVID-19 exposure, it is recommended that that healthy crew remain with the vessel for the season. No more port-to-port crew (or crew that just join you for individual legs of the trip). For many cruisers, this means the diffi cult question of considering who you would invite on board if you know they might be with you for the entire voyage. We’re all looking forward to the end of COVID-19 and being able to go cruising again more freely! The lessons learned from this experience will hopefully help each of us develop a more robust plan for preparing for a contagious disease on board.

I recently heard from a reader asking about fuel: With the price of fuel as low as it is, is now a good time to fill up the tanks? As with all the best questions and answers in life, it depends. The general principles are

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

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

I

What About the Fuel?

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

If you top o� your tanks now, the question is: Are you going to use that fuel

in a timely manner?

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

The Port of Seattle, like many ports in Washington, is taking a big hit from the COVID-19 pan-

demic. Travel in and out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, owned by the Port of Seattle, is down 90-95%, port spokesman Peter McGraw said. Cruise ship travel, which pumps $900 million a year into the local economy, is at a standstill. Yet the Port of Seattle’s diverse port-folio is enabling the port district to stave off the full force of the pandemic-induced economic storm. A diverse portfolio means diverse sources of revenue for the port besides transportation: property tax levies, lease and rental fees, charges for services and the use of land and other facilities, proceeds from bonds sold for capital proj-

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

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

PORTS IN THE STORM

HOW DIVERSE PORTFOLIOS ARE HELPING WASHINGTON PORTS

STAVE OFF THE FULL ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE PANDEMIC


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

PORT OF SEATTLE

The Port of Seattle Commission is us-ing the pandemic-induced slowdown to

accelerate capital development projects to help fuel recovery once the pandemic ends. The $1.5 billion in capital development will directly generate an average of 700 full-time construction jobs per month, or 1,300 full-time and part-time jobs, according to the Port’s website – not including 1,100 more indirect jobs through a network of suppliers and construction support. To assist its tenants and prepare for recovery, the Port of Seattle:• Barred eviction of port tenants.• Deferred business rents for the months

of April through July.• Deferred moorage fees for liveaboard

and other moorage customers for the months of April through June.

• Obtained $192 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Transporta-tion as part of the CARES Act to offset fi nancial damage caused by the reduc-tion of air travel.

• Is proceeding with modernization and expansion of the north terminals at SeaTac International Airport.

• Is proceeding with expansion of SeaTac’s International Arrivals terminals.

• Is proceeding with replacement of SeaTac’s passenger loading bridges and improvements to the airfi eld pavement.

• Is proceeding with replacement of the north berth at Terminal 46.

• Postponed construction of an addi-tional cruise terminal that had been proposed at Terminal 46. “With global cruising on pause right now, it’s ap-propriate that we consider coming back to this project in the future when we

have a clearer picture of the market,” Port Executive Director Steve Metruck said on the Port’s website.

• Some businesses at Fisherman's Terminal remained open and operating under proper protocols to serve the North Pacifi c fi sh-ing fl eet. Terminal 91 remained open as well — moorage, storage and equipment services — to the commercial fi shing fl eet.

“As one of the largest public-sector builders in the region, the Port is uniquely positioned to help lead the region’s recov-ery,” Steinbrueck said. “Our goal is to help keep construction workers employed by providing certainty to large public works construction projects, accelerating some projects where feasible, and by supporting our private-sector partners.” The Port of Seattle’s 2020 operating bud-get is $470 million; its 2020 capital budget is $640 million, according to information provided by port spokesman McGraw. “Our diversifi ed portfolio helps keep these [capital] projects moving,” McGraw said.

PORT OF EVERETT

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

To keep the economic engine running, the Port of Everett:• Established a COVID response team.• Advocated on the federal and state level

for relief funding.• Advocated for federal infrastructure fi -

nancing to keep projects moving forward.• Deferred capital projects.• Instituted a hiring freeze.• Provided rent relief to commercial ten-

ants and moorage relief upon applica-tion and approval.

• Prepared a return-to-work strategy.• Put in place an economic recovery plan

to facilitate, now and in the future, “a more rapid economic recovery, job re-placement, and continuing economic development in furtherance of the Port’s fundamental purpose.”

• Supported innovation that emerged in response to the pandemic, for example, procuring gallons of hand sanitizer cre-ated by a local distillery.

While marina operations have been modifi ed, the Port’s seaport remains in full operation.

PORT OF CAMAS-WASHOUGAL

The Port of Camas-Washougal, on the Columbia River, owns a 350-slip marina, Grove Field airport, an industrial park, and parks and trails. “[The marina] serves more than 7,000 boats every year,” according to the Port’s website. “The Port is home to 54 businesses [and] produces over six jobs for each acre of land it leases. There are 19 buildings totaling nearly 300,000 square feet on Port property with an occupancy rate of 100%.”To keep its economic engine moving and plan for post-pandemic recovery, the Port of Camas-Washougal: • Established a rent relief program for

port tenants. • Continued planning the development

of its Waterfront at Parker’s Landing, a 20-acre riverfront community of com-mercial, retail, residential and mixed uses. Final design of Phase 1 will be completed in mid- to late-2020, with plans to break ground in 2021.

• Is proceeding with slurry sealing of the airport runway and taxiway.

• Kept its boat launch open, while reduc-ing the number of launch and retrieval lanes to two to ensure proper social distancing.

PORT OF KALAMA

The Port of Kalama, on the Columbia River, owns a 22-slip marina, park and

In 1911, the Washington State Legislature authorized voters to create port districts for the purpose of economic development. The Port of Seattle was Washington’s fi rst port district; in the next 10 years, port districts would be formed in Vancouver, Bremerton, Kennewick, Brownsville, Tacoma, Everett, Kingston, Kalama, Silverdale, Allyn, Bellingham and Longview. There are now 75 port districts in Washington.

The statute RCW 53.04.010 spells out the responsibilities of port districts:

“Port districts are hereby authorized to be established in the various counties of the state for the purposes of acquisition, construction, maintenance, operation, development and regulation within the district of harbor improvements, rail or motor vehicle transfer and terminal facilities, water transfer and terminal facilities, air transfer and terminal facilities, or any combination of such transfer and terminal facilities, and other commercial transportation, transfer, handling, storage and terminal facilities, and industrial improvements.”

amphitheater; a marine terminal, business park, and facilities for manufacturing and warehousing; and developable industrial land. More than 30 companies, employing more than a total of 1,000 people, lease Port land. The Port of Kalama Commission:• Delegated to the Port executive director

limited authority to amend leases.• Surveyed its business tenants and clients

to assess economic impacts and needs.• Approved rent forgiveness and rent-

forbearance agreements, depending on need. The latter spreads two months’ rent out over two years.

• Kept the marina and parks open, but closed playgrounds and canceled scheduled events to prevent the spread of the virus.

• Limited in-offi ce work by Port employees. The Port reports that terminal op-erations continue and cargo handling remains steady but slower because of enhanced safety.

PORT OF KINGSTON

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

The Port of Kingston responded quickly to the pandemic:• Closed port offi ces; all port employees

are working remotely.• Kept marina restrooms and laundry

open to marina liveaboards. • Kept the fuel dock open, though custom-

ers must call fi rst for availability.• Reviewed and revised its 2020 budget.• Reviewed and updated all contracts.• Conducted a risk assessment, inventoried

assets, and prioritized its capital projects.• Examined options for rent and rate relief

for port tenants.• Reevaluated its goals for 2020 and its

fi ve-year plan. Washington’s ports, long a symbol of recreation, transportation and trade in the Evergreen State, may soon be remembered for their role in bolstering the state’s economic rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic. Gov. Jay Inslee once said of ports: “Washington relies heavily on in-ternational trade, the competitiveness of the ports and the good-paying jobs that keep freight moving.”

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


You won’t fi nd a marina or trade center at the Port of Eglon, and the only commerce that takes place here might involve farm products or the annual arts and crafts bazaar in the historic Eglon School, which is now a community center.

Today, the Port consists of a boat ramp, a small park, and about 100 feet of beach. There are three port commissioners, all who typically run unop-posed in the elections. The district collects about $20,000 a year in property taxes. There was no economic impact from the COVID-19 virus except, perhaps, for the cost of signage reminding people to maintain social distancing.

However, the Port of Eglon has a rich history.

Established in 1919 by Eglon voters, the Port was a gateway to the peninsula before the rural com-munity was connected to to the rest of the county by road. Mosquito fl eet ferries delivered people and goods at the Port dock, built next to a post offi ce, store, and warehouse. One Port commissioner had the job of furnishing the coal oil for the night light on the dock.

The state highway was completed in 1924, mak-ing vehicle travel possible to and from Eglon. By the early 1940s, the dock was no longer used for its original purposes and fell into disuse. The Port evolved into the boat launch, beach, and park.

Port offi cials and residents have fi ercely defended their independence since 1960, fending off eff orts to consolidate Eglon and other small port districts in Kitsap County. Port of Eglon Commissioner George Coles was quoted at one time saying that residents didn’t want a dock or industry. “Leave us alone,” he said. “We don't want to be infringed upon. We want to keep our little bit of beach and use it for the children to swim." And now, in its 101st year, that’s exactly what the Port of Eglon is today.

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

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

When I was kid, my Grandpa Scott told us great stories. Some were real, some imaginary, but they always provided a

peak into someone else’s world. To this day, one of my favorite podcasts of all times is NPR’s StoryCorps, where everyday people share their stories. As COVID-19 leaves

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

I get fan mail to autograph, and this is from “Colby,” who wanted the picture

of “Crabby” autographed (my boat, the Northwestern, in the movie Cars 2).

Deadliest Catch


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

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

Victoria is normally a tranquil city, but during this crisis, the downtown area has been especially peaceful.

This is my neighborhood during the height of the pandemic.

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

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

This is a picture of my 5-year old son, par-ticipating in a Zoom call with his Kindergar-ten teacher and some of his friends. I love the picture, but at the same time, I struggle when looking at it. After the call ended, he started to cry because he misses his friends. I consoled him the best I could as I miss my friends as well. We both cried. So it goes.

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

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

I live in Southern California in the small town of Laguna Beach. I have now been

home for over a month solid and have been able to enjoy the sunsets and a

glass of wine on my patio each evening. To see things so peaceful and quiet each

night is an amazing blessing.

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

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

experience. That is why this is my favorite quarantine picture.

There is no escaping the reality that the world shutting down put a serious hamper

on global sailing. International regattas worldwide have been postponed or canceled, boats in foreign countries were held in quarantine and unable to return to their home ports, and pretty much all gatherings and global recreation came to a screeching halt. This uniquely affected sailing as it is quintessentially a sport of travel and adventure. Looking to the earliest days when humans began venturing to the ocean, crossing great distances and interacting with new people is at the core of boating. While we still have a long way to go and “normal” may be a constantly evolving concept, things around the world are at least beginning to settle into a more predictable

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

some familiar faces that have a few less miles on them than they do today. Notable shots include several extraordinary wipeouts of Moore24s, a few upside-down catamarans, and a decent collection of shredded spinnakers to round out the gallery. Also, one of the biggest supporters of local racing, Jan Anderson, has her galleries of races dating back to 2011. It is as comprehensive a time capsule as can be found for sailing in the Pacific Northwest over the past decade, and a definite way to spark both some serious nostalgia and excitement for the future. Without a doubt, what we are seeing worldwide is people spending serious time and energy getting their boats sorted out. My Instagram feed has been awash with perfectly rigged dinghies and spotlessly

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

T


forward. The mast project takes up a lot of time and energy, but we are a multi-boat family and my wife Shelagh has been getting stuck into some projects on the black and yellow Farr39 Absolutely. A family affair of a racing team, we have been taking turns with her father and sister scraping and filling the cockpit floor to prepare it for some new nonskid foam from local company Raptor Deck. This along with a few other upgrades to the wind instruments and rigging has the boat feeling sharp and ready to come out swinging on the back side of this race-free period. Looking to the future, local clubs are getting creative and working to ensure racing can get back on track as soon as it’s safe and practical to do so. There are also a number of underground events taking shape to get some sailing in while maintaining our social distance. This trend of “family racing” is a totally

home-grown creation with the simple rule that all crew members must live in the same house. It is making for some fantastic memories. Formal organizations have come out with statements reporting that youth camps and junior racing should be starting up in early July and there is a lot of scuttlebutt about weeknight racing beginning around that time as well. I am lucky enough to have unprecedented access to my wife Shelagh, who also happens to be the Vice Commodore of Corinthian Yacht Club. When asked about the current outlook of Northwest sailing she had this to say: “Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle is working diligently to get people back racing as quickly as practical. Racers should expect to see an increase use of permanent marks and an emphasis on ‘just go sailing.’ The local clubs are working together to rewrite the SARC (Seattle Area Racing Calendar)

to alleviate overlapping events in order to provide maximum enjoyment and involvement for the community. The good news is that the things that make sailing great—the wind and the water (and the boats!)—are just waiting for us to come back.” In the meantime, it’s up to us to keep cracking on projects and working on our boats, so we have everything ready to go as soon as we get the greenlight. While a far cry from the real thing, many of us have been keeping busy and connected with sailing friends via some E-sailing in the Virtual Regatta game, and I am currently getting beat up on by our spinnaker trimmer on the race to St Barth’s, not good when you’re the navigator. Hopefully next week’s race from South Africa to Goa leaves me in a bit better shape and I can keep my spot on the boat.

Navigating Through COVID-19

PORTS OF CALL

By Deane Hislop

We will get through this together!

We are all navigating uncharted waters during the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus is only 20 weeks old, so there is still a lot we

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

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

guidelines so everyone heading out onto the water can do so safely. Now more than ever, we need to make sure we’re considering how our actions aff ect those around us. Here is a quick rundown on the do’s and don’ts of boating in a time of pandemic:• If you have symptoms of fever, coughing,

sore throat, or shortness of breath, stay home and seek medical att ention. Do not go boating if you have been exposed to COVID-19 in the past fourteen days.

• Wear a manufactured or homemade cloth face covering when you leave your home and travel to the boat. The use of a face covering may help protect others from your respiratory droplets, but is not a replacement for social distancing.

• Only boat with those in your immediate household.

• Do not invite guests aboard your boat. This includes family members not in your immediate household and your favorite fi shing and boating buddies.

• Go directly from your house to the boat and back, avoid all unnecessary contact with anyone during your trip.

• Ensure that you have everything you will need for the time you are out on the water. Don’t make provisioning stops along the way or while out on the water.

• Maintain a safe distance (6 feet) from others when doing things like loading up at the marina or fueling the boat.

• After doing anything that requires touching an item someone else may have touched, like a marina gate, dock cart, or fuel pump,

Boating can be as socially distant as humans can get, but if you are going to boat, it's a good idea to take precautions in the areas where you might encounter others - marinas, pump-out stations, and marine parks.

disinfect by washing your hands or using a hand sanitizer as soon as possible.

• For high-use surfaces such as gas pump handles or the handrails at a boat ramp consider wearing disposable gloves, latex or nitrile works best.

• Be prepared to self-rescue. Before leaving the dock ensure your vessel is well serviced and maintained. We don’t want to place additional burdens on fi rst responders and emergency services who assist boaters that fi nd themselves in trouble. Our fi rst responders and search and rescue teams are all facing COVID-19 challenges along with us.

• Planning ahead also means staying up to date with closures and general news about your intended destination marina, town, and region. Contact local communities to assure they are accepting non-resident guests.

• Be sure you can pay online, by phone, or with a debit or credit card (no cash). Don’t show up anywhere without fi rst having contacted the relevant personnel to determine what services are and are not available.

• Be self-reliant and practice good personal hygiene; have onboard soap, water, hand

sanitizer, toilet paper, and disposable gloves, as well as a mask or bandana for everyone to cover their nose and mouth.

• Social distancing does not include tossing a line to a dockhand waiting to assist you upon your arrival.

• After using a pay station or self-registration station, use hand sanitizer.

• Avoid crowds and practice social distancing. Be prepared to go somewhere else or return another time if your destination looks crowded.

• No beaching or rafting to other boats. Keep your boat and the people in it at least six feet away from other boats and individuals.

• Do not use a beach, park, boat ramp, or marina that is closed.

• Do not use playgrounds, picnic tables, barbeques, or benches. Assume such equipment has not been sanitized. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer if you do come in contact with shared amenities.

• Do not participate in organized activities or sports.

• Respect signs limiting access or providing temporary direction regarding trail or site usage.

• Wear gloves when using pump-out station and wash hands afterwards.

• Giving your boat a post-cruise rinse, or even bett er a good washing with soap and brush, and whip down the inside with disinfectant is a good practice.

• Anytime you leave the boat, sanitize your hands before coming back aboard, or get on without touching anything and wash them immediately.

Recreational boaters should continue to think ahead about the actions they can take to protect themselves, fellow boaters, and prevent the spread of COVID-19. As there is still no cure for this virus, we must take repeated precautionary measures to continue enjoying the lifestyle we treasure. We are all in this together, and we can get through the challenges of COVID-19 if we work together.
