NSIA Forecasts Another Banner Year Ahead

by Liz Hamilton Anglers in the Northwest have a lot to look forward to in 2016.

We have already kicked off the year with a very strong winter steelhead run, with catch reports in fisheries in both Washington and Oregon coming in much better than we have seen in recent years. After consecutive years of record-setting returns of fall Chinook, anglers and businesses at the Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association are excited for another year of excellent salmon fishing. Add to that a forecast predicting this year’s return of Chinook to be another banner year, and we expect angler effort to again be very strong, which is great news for our thriving recreational sportfishing industry.

Back in 2006, NSIA and our allies obtained a court order requiring more spill in the mainstem Columbia River to allow better conditions for out-migrating fall Chinook smolts. These record setting returns are the product of that spill. With such great numbers of salmon available, anglers will flock to the Columbia and its tributaries in hopes of taking home one of the prized fish, and that means businesses that make up our $3 billion sportfishing industry have a big opportunity ahead of them. Such high angler turn out leads to increased demand for

boats, rods, reels, and tackle, and communities up and down the Columbia stand to draw in millions of dollars of consumer spending.

In 2016 NSIA will be working to expand spill benefits for Spring Chinook, with hopes of equally strong returns!

Our goal at the NSIA is to fight the political battles necessary to protect and grow sportfishing opportunities and the tens of thousands of jobs supported by ang l i n g . H e a l t hy, s u s t a i n a b l e fisheries are good for business, but this kind of fishing simply does not happen without a strong, concerted effort to fight for strong returns. While we are excited for

another busy year of fishing, there are considerable hurdles in our path in 2016 that must be overcome or else our fisheries and our businesses will feel it for years to come.

The issue in the forefront is the recent threat of a lawsuit that would jeopardize the release of more than 60 million hatchery smolts. In mid-January the Wild Fish Conservancy issued a 60 day notice of intent to sue the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Department of Commerce for funding for the Mitchell Act hatchery programs throughout the continued on page 12

Almost 300,000 Spring Chinook are predicted to return to the Columbia River this season.

More than 85 percent of adult anglers fished as a child, before the age of 12.

The Northwest Experience Skagway – the End of the Inside Passage

by Jim Farrell As a kid growing up on the Northwest tip of the Olympic Peninsula in the 1950’s, I didn’t have TV, the internet or even, I know it’s hard to believe, a computer; what I did have was an active imagination and a view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca from my upstairs window. I also had a radio with stories of Sergeant Preston, and his faithful husky dog, Yukon King. Listening to those broadcasts drew me north, as I huddled around the wood stove that burned my fanny whenever I got to close. I also had the Clallam County Library’s bookmobile that delivered books to our front door or maybe it may have stopped at the Joyce school— memories fade you know. In the bookmobile were the collected works of Mark Twain, Jack London and even Robert Service: all the writers that sparked the imagination of this young kid.

From my bedroom window I

watched sailboats, tugs with barges, freighters and fishing boats, all sail past our ‘stump’ farm on the strait, like those little ducks you shoot at a carnival.

Between being an avid reader and living that close to the Sol Duc falls, is probably why I always had a yearning to head ‘North to Alaska.’ My adventurous soul was only fanned when I spent the summer of 1960 on a 14’ sailboat-or at least that‘s what we called the wooden homemade dinghy in which we learned to sail on Lake Washington. With a gentle wind and the warm summer sun reflecting off the lake we’d sail off Seward Park most of the day and into the evening.

Between learning to tack, jibe, and sail in and out of the dock with a lot of bailing along the way, we were able to spend time swimming around the marina and talking to the old timers who had sailed north along the “Inside Passage” all the way to Skagway!

They talked of fishing, hunting,

logging, native villages and even a little gold panning. They talked of those who left port only to hit a storm and never to return. They spoke of the rapids that flowed like rivers propelling boats up to 15 knots or more with rocks as tall as the Empire State Building sticking up in the middle of the ferocious current, and claimed the lives of many unwary sailors.

It was many years before I was able to fulfill my childhood dream of sailing my own boat up the inside passage to Skagway and even at that I did cheat a little. It was early March when Becky, my partner in life, and I were sitting in the snow-covered Autumn Daze, our Beneteau 423, in Auke Bay, Alaska listening to the wind as it sang through the rigging. We decided then and there that the best part of valor and or good sense dictated that we take the Alaskan ferry Aurora from Juneau to Skagway for the last leg.

When we reached Skagway

Becky Wehrli doing her Titanic impression aboard the FV Aurora in winds.

with the wind topping 55 knots driving blinding snow and seas from 6’ to 12’ , the ferry captain was not even sure that he could safely dock her. But dock her he did, with an impressive maneuver that permitted his crew to catch a bollard with a line, then he powered her into the dock, allowing his crew to make fast the other dock lines.

We left the ferry landing bending over against the wind and stinging snow along with members of the Skagway girls’ basket-

ball squad who had played a tournament in Sitka. To our surprise there was just a little snow on the ground as we walked through the town of around 500 fulltime residents. According to the oldtimers, this (2015) had been the mildest winter that any of them could remember. You could have fooled us as we trudged along the wind-swept streets of the small town with our bags to our B & B continued on page 5

The Doctor is Back!

Less than two years ago, the Portland boating community lost a well-respected and much-loved member— Anthony “Ted” Leonardi. His passing in April 2014 left a sizable gap in our boating community. Ted served on the Portland Yacht Club board of trustees, could often be found on the Columbia River with his family in their boat the Sea Rascal, and was known for his “fix it all” ability. He also penned this paper’s popular "Dr. Diesel" advice column for many years before falling ill.

Although Ted has left some big shoes to fill, we are fortunate to have another member of the local boating community — Marcus Halsell—who is a formally trained diesel engine technician and also happens to be a Portland Yacht Club member! So beginning this month, Freshwater News is pleased to announce — as a tribute to Ted — the Doctor (or Dr Diesel) is back with a periodical column answering reader’s questions on marine diesel service, repair, and diagnostics, including electronic engine controls and high-pressure fuel systems.

Marcus holds ASE Certifications in light, medium and heavyduty diesel engines and has factory training on heavy-duty Caterpillar, Cummins, and Detroit diesel engines. He is also an ABYC Certified Master Marine Technician ( Diesel, Electrical, & Corrosion.)

Dr. Diesel #1 Q: Dear Dr. Diesel: I own a 1993 Ocean Alexander 44 with twin Cummins 5.9 diesel engines. They have about 1600 hours on them. I heard someone mention “valve adjustment” recently. Is this really necessary with such low hours on my engines? They seem to be running well. What do you think?

Signed, Happy Cummins Owner A: Dear Happy: A valve adjustment on your engines is absolutely necessary.

Marine diesel valve adjustments are a puzzling subject for many boat owners. To clarify our terms, when discussing “valve adjustments,” we are really talking about checking the valve clear-

ance, or “valve lash” and, if necessary, adjust as per factory specifications and procedures. Often, the valves will “loosen-up” (i.e. valve clearance/lash increases) over time due to wear in the valvetrain.

Sometimes, though, valve lash may actually decrease due to the valve heads wearing themselves into the valve seats.

Mis-adjusted ( or maladjusted) valves can cause run-ability issues, such as hard starting, low power, excessive exhaust smoke, etc. In extreme cases, misadjusted valves can cause catastrophic engine damage. Thus, the question of “when do I adjust my valves?” is an important question.

Fortunately, the answer is simple: when the engine manufacturer (known in the diesel continued on page 4

Gunderson’s Newest Barges are 578' Long

by Peter Marsh Anyone boating on the lower Willamette downstream from Portand this year must have noticed the enormous 578' barges on the side-launch ramp at Gundersons shipyard. I passed by while riding on the sternwheeler Portland shortly before the first one was

launched in May, 2015. It was certainly a very impressive sight and must have made quite a splash!

The 200 crew working in Gunderson’s marine division went straight back to work on the second barge ordered by Kirby Offshore—the largest tank barge operator in the United States. This is the most complex build ever for

Gunderson with a carrying capacity of 185,000 barrels and a vast amount of piping and mechanical systems. When connected, the complete ATB unit will have an overall length of about 675' or more than two football fields.

I was interested enough to inquire about the next launch and had my name put get on the mailing list. On January 23, I was able to witness the second launch from the shore inside the shipyard. A large crowd assembled outside the plant on a rainy Saturday morning and was led inside by the Clan Macleay Scottish pipe band—a tradition at Gunderson’s launches.

Mark Eitzen, senior vice president and general manager welcomed the guests, and Bill Withers, a senior v.p. of Kirby, remarked on the number of spectators and the quality of Gunderson’s work.

The launch was short and sweet, and gave new meaning to the term “grease the skids!” A fleet of small tugs was on hand to quickly clear up all the wood cribbing that forms the horizontal base for the barge’s assembly. I learned that the barge was actually constructed in numerous modules 50 feet long and welded under cover onshore, then lifted onto the ways by dock cranes to be joined together.

The notch in the stern is where the specially-built tug attaches via two massive pivots—giving it the title of “articulated tug and barge” or ATB. These ATB tugs are semi-

During the cruise from Portland to Warrenton, Oregon for the 2015 buoy 10 fishing season, ‘THE GAMBLER’ had an encounter with a submerged log, or something. We knew there was damage but not sure to what extent. I called the Warrenton Boat Yard and left a brief message to call me. They returned my call within minutes and said my boat would be hauled out that same day at high tide for an inspection. Warrenton Boat Yard owners along with West Coast Propeller Service were all on hand at the time of the haul out to assess the damage and determine what parts needed to be replaced. ‘THE GAMBLER’ was repaired and launched back into the water.

Thank you does not begin to express my gratitude.

The barge towered above the Willamette, looking ready to slide into the river at a moment’s notice.

The two 130' tugs were built by Nichols Boat Builders on Whidbey Island, Wash., which makes this an unusual regional collaboration for a customer based on the Gulf coast and a testimony to the high-quality work done locally. Cost was in the $75-85 million range.

Gunderson has been a ship and barge builder since 1942, when it

built small vessels for the war effort. The company has built about 300 barges since the 1970’s. and recently boosted its workforce to around 1,000 to handle the increase in orders for its marine and railcar divisions. Approximately 200 workers are involved in the marine sector, while the railcar operation can turn out as many 12 container-carrying cars per day.

The Cummins B-series ( 5.9L ) operator’s manual states valve clearance (“valve lash”) should be checked, and adjusted if needed, every 1000 operating hours. Although your question did not say so, it sounds like you may have missed your initial valve adjustment. Thus, your engines have likely missed two valve adjustment intervals.

nine blocks away. (Even hardened sailors need a little luxury in their lives!) (NOAA has recently reported that 2015 was the warmest year since record-keeping began in 1880.)

Once we were settled into our room, we decided to rent a car to explore. Renting a car in Skagway in the dead of winter is no easy task. The normal car rental places don’t exist or they were closed for the winter. No cruise lines dock in Skagway during the winter, and not too many other tourists care to travel that far north by ferry either, just two crazy sailors. However with the aid of the B & B owner we did get the phone number of a local company, Sourdough Car Rentals, and left a message on their phone. A few hours later, we got a call back from the owner

who informed us that he was in San Diego having knee surgery, but he had someone in Skagway who would rent us a car.

We met the lady who worked sometimes for the owner at a gravel and ice filled lot where she had a van running for us (temperature was in the single digits). A mile away we turned on the windshield wipers as another snow squall was upon us and nothing...nope they didn’t work. Another call and the lady met us back at the lot with an older PT Cruiser with bald tires that also was running. Off we went to visit Dyea, Alaska—the beginning of the Chilkoot trail where somewhere around a hundred Klondikers died in the April 3rd 1898 avalanche.

On our way back to Skagway another squall hit and ...oops, the

windshield wiper rubber came off, instigating another phone call (when we got back into phone range) and now back at the lot we found an old van, with a full tank of gas (according to the gauge) was running in the lot for our trip up White Pass... nope, no lady, just the van. The only problems with our driving over the pass to Whitehorse BC were the white-outs at the top of the pass and the fuel gauge in the van that always stayed on full.

If you’ve never seen a white out, count yourself lucky. Visibility was down to maybe 15’ on the ice and snow-covered highway with an occasional semi-truck coming out of the gloom toward us. Being the world-wise sailors we thought ourselves to be, and a certain part of our anatomy puckering, the better part of valor dictated that we turn around and head back to Skagway, where we spent the rest of our visit touring the village itself and submerging ourselves in the history of a time that I’d read volumes about with a flashlight under the blankets when I was a kid.

To visit the graveyards of Dyea and Skagway one could feel the restless spirits of those “who dig for gold in the midnight sun.” In the Skagway graveyard overlooking the end of the Northwest Passage lays con man Jefferson (Soapy) Smith. Just a few feet away is the grave of the city’s engineer, Frank Reid who killed Smith in a shootout only to die himself 12 days later from Soapy’s last gunshot.

If the history of the north doesn’t get the juices flowing, then the trails around Skagway offer fantastic views of lakes, waterfalls and even glaciers. Of course if you feel the need you could fill a 100lb pack and head up the 33-mile Chilkoot trail, only I’d be real careful not to head up it in early spring when there’s a heavy snow pack.

All through the Inside Passage, from Tacoma to Skagway the history the writers and story tellers of my youth wrote about came to life for me as Becky and I caught each tidal current that carried us further north to Skagway and the passage’s end. From the wintertime quiet of Skagway to the tidal plains of Taiya inlet, if you listened very hard, carried on the ‘k’eeljáa’ (Chinook) wind, you could hear the songs of the Tlingit people who used the Chilkoot trail and the sea for trade long before white men ever sailed north to the land of the midnight sun.

to announce the commencement of a new business venture, W S Yacht Brokers!

My business partner, Chris Schweiger, and I have formed the new brokerage, out of our love of boats, and the desire to help clients find the right boat, so that they might enjoy being on the water as much as we have and will continue to do. Many of the boating community will know and recognize Chris as owner of the Mumm 36, Panama Red, and his involvement in sailboat racing on and off the river, as well as his almost lifelong involvement in the Portland boating community.

I bring over 20 years of marine industry experience, including trans-Atlantic deliveries, crewing as a first officer on large motor yachts, building 115 ft. aluminum commercial vessels, and managing the Rocky Pointe Boatyard.

We look forward to our first year in business, and encourage everyone to call with any questions you might have about buying, selling, or particular models of boat that you like.

We would be more than happy to help however we can. You can contact me (Jason Whitaker) on 9 7 1 - 2 4 4 - 2 6 6 7 / w h i t a ke r m arine@gmail.com, and Chris Schweiger on 503-969-8588 / chris@eccportland.com. We will be getting a website up in the next few weeks, which will have contact info as well. We look forward to hearing from you.

for Nautic Africa. Nautic builds a wide range of commercial vessels, but their main model is the 35M Sentinel Series, a 115ft vessel, built from aluminum, used mainly for the oil and gas industry. Power came from 3 CAT C32 marine diesel engines, which provide enough thrust to reach a top speed of 29.5 knots.

They each carry approximately 15,000 gallons of fuel, and can stay in their operating areas for up to a month when operating at around a 10 knot average. Some models are also ballistically protected (wheelhouse and deckhouse), to be able to operate in areas of high piracy. They serve as crew supply boats ferrying 40 passengers with a crew of 12, or an offshore patrol vessel with a crew of 18 and no passengers.

Never having been involved in such a large or complex project as this, it was an extremely steep learning curve, but incredibly enjoyable working with a young and dynamic team. Large aluminum continued on page 7

Hello to all from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office River Patrol

by Deputy Scott McDowell, Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office River Patrol 2015 was a good year for the River Patrol: here are some of the statistics to prove it.

The River Patrol spent over 8,388 hours on the waterways in the county, not including time teaching classes, working in the office and other activities. We contacted over 1800 boaters, we wrote over 150 citations for those that were in violation. We also contacted over 1500 non-motorized boaters, and issued over 50 citations for violations with those non-motorized activities. The river patrol responded to over 600 calls for service over the year with a reported $490,000.00 dollars in loss, damage, or theft. In those incidents there were over 720 individuals involved with 36 injured.

It is that time of year again when all of us need to get our boats ready, check on the power supply, and make sure that everything is prepared for the weather that will be heading our way. Along with that preparation, most of our boat registrations expired in December, and all of you that have already purchased your registrations and have your new tags, please put them on to your boats. It is a violation to have them and not put them on the boat just like not renewing them to begin with. We understand that with the worst winter in the last 40 years, it has been very difficult to get them onto the boats or even get to your boats. But please do this as soon as possible. The River Patrol Deputies will be out on the water checking marinas and moorages for those boats that are not in compliance with the current laws.

On a lighter note the river patrol is getting ready for the upcoming “Polar Plunge” benefiting the Oregon Special Olympics. On February 27 at the 42nd street boat ramp there will be a lot of people going into the water! For more details visit www.plungeoregon.com to sign up a team or individually or if you just want to come down and watch the plunge.

It will be a great time and the proceeds will benefit a good cause.

As a reminder, please obey the dock rules on the multitude of public docks on our waterways. Remember most of them are 24 hour only tie-up. Some are up to three days but most aren’t. Please obey the rules so the River Patrol doesn’t have to become involved and

vessels like these have an immense number of parts to be welded together, like a really large jig-saw puzzle. It is amazing to see the pieces come together, and take form into good-looking vessels.

Fortunately, I was able to put my years of marine industry experience to good use, and help re-design certain aspects with useful features.

Each vessel takes around 14 months to complete, then about 3-4 weeks of sea-trials, as well as testing and inspections by Bureau Veritas—the fleet’s classification society.

BPA’s Estuary Habitat Mitigation Plans Crumble At The Head of Multnomah Channel Since 1946

The agency’s mitigation portfolio counted on a big project that it doesn’t own and doesn’t have under contract.

In a recent filing, a coalition of conservation and fishing groups, including the Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association (NSIA), alerted the United States District Court, District Of Oregon to the fact that Bonneville Power Administration has again fallen short on its promise to mitigate harm caused by the Columbia and Snake River dams through vague and uncertain “commitments” to habitat restoration projects.

Since 2008, the plaintiff coalition in the long-running litigation has demonstrated that the federal agencies have illegally relied on uncertain and speculative habitat improvement projects outside of their control. This has been particularly

true in the estuary, where the hoped-for projects have not materialized in spite of a previous court remand notifying the federal government of the shortcomings in that area. In response, BPA and other agencies have repeatedly insisted that they will “catch up” with several projects before 2018, when the current federal salmon plan expires.

The papers filed demonstrate that the largest of these “catch up” projects — by itself representing 53 percent of BPA’s entire habitat restoration plan under the 2014 Supplemental Biological Opinion – is now off the table. The project, which is listed in previous BPA documents to the Court as the “Large Dike Breach Reach E” is also known as the Deer Island Conservation Bank. The project is owned by Community Restoration Network, LLC in partnership with a

group of Deer Island landowners.

“It appears BPA has tried to claim credit for a restoration project that it never owned nor had under contract,” said NSIA Executive Director Liz Hamilton. “Because BPA failed to secure the Deer Island project, much of BPA’s planned habitat mitigation for the Columbia River Estuary is now non-existent, making it very unlikely that BPA will meet its mitigation requirements under the Biological Opinion for the Federal Columbia River Power System.

This is just further evidence of the fundamental shortcomings of BPA’s ‘trust us’ approach to trying to address the very real and present harm caused by the Columbia and Snake River dams. Smoke and mirrors won’t save our salmon.”

WDFW starting gene bank for wild steelhead on Columbia River State fish managers held a public meeting in Cathlamet to discuss two options for establishing a wild steelhead gene bank in rivers and streams near the mouth of the Columbia River to support the preservation of wild steelhead populations. One option would

eliminate production of hatchery winter steelhead on the Grays and Chinook Rivers. The other would prohibit production of hatchery steelhead on Mill, Abernathy and Germany Creeks.

“This is the last of four gene banks currently planned for tribu-

taries to the Columbia River below Bonneville Dam,” said Cindy Le Fleur, WDFW regional fish manager. “Our advisory group was divided on two options, so we’d like to get some additional input from the public.” Le Fleur said both options under consideration by the department meet standards outlined in the state’s Statewide Steelhead Management Plan, which calls on WDFW to “establish a network of wild stock gene banks across the state where wild stocks are largely protected from the effects of hatchery programs.”

ODFW rolls out new and improved fishing regs for 2016 Anglers this year may have noticed that Oregon’s fishing regulations for 2016 are in a new magazine format publication, which is not only more colorful but simpler and easier to read.

Over the past year, ODFW worked on streamlining and simplifying the angling regulations.

Anglers should notice plainer language of regulations. Content was also rearranged so that license information and fish ID photos are in the back of the regulations. Updated full-color zone maps can be found at the end of each section.

“Please read the zone regulations carefully as there have been some zone wide changes as well as some changes to the zone regulations exceptions,” said Mike Gau-

vin, manager of ODFW’s recreational fishing program. “As always, emergency or temporary rules may be adopted so please check the in season regulation updates by zone before you head out fishing.”

• Reduction in the number of special regulations or exceptions. One thing to be aware of is that some of the waters that you fish may no longer be listed under the exceptions.

This means that they are now covered under the zone regulations.

• Changes in fees. In 2016 there are fee increases on many angling licenses. This is the first time the fees have increased in six years. A new youth license

was created. For $10 dollars youths ages 12-17 will get a hunting, fishing, shellfish license, and Columbia River Basin endorsement.

ODFW has also expanded opportunities for trout and warmwater fishing and provided more consistent seasons and bag limits.

There are expanded year-round opportunities across the state for trout. In most areas where there were April openers, these rivers were expanded to be open year round. ODFW contracted with J.F. Griffin Media to publish this year’s regulations. They also provide an online version of the regulations that can be accessed from mobile devices, tablets and desktop computers.

That plan, adopted by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission in 2008, was based on studies showing that hatcheryproduced fish can interfere with wild steelhead in ways ranging from interbreeding to competition for food. WDFW established the state’s first official steelhead gene bank in 2012 in the Sol Duc River on the Olympic Peninsula. In March 2014, the department designated three gene banks in the

lower Columbia River drainage on the East Fork Lewis River, the North Fork Toutle and Green rivers, and the Wind River.

The department will also accept public comments electronically starting Jan. 25, when additional information on the two options will be posted at http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/fisheries/steelhead/gene_bank /columbia_river/

NSIA Forecasts...continued from page 1 Columbia River Basin. This attack has the potential to cripple sport, commercial and tribal fisheries, while undermining conservation efforts and funding, while providing little benefit (other than to lawyers).

These hatcheries are funded through the Mitchell Act, passed by the federal government back in 1938 to mitigate the negative impacts on native fish runs caused by the federal dams on the Columbia River. The adult fish produced by these hatcheries account for a large portion of harvestable fish in the ocean, as well as the Columbia River and its tributaries. Losing these fish would mean lower angler turnout, less money spent on gear, and loss of thousands of jobs throughout the basin.

The WFC (and their allies) would contend that the introduction of hatchery fish causes undue competition for wild smolts and negatively impacts native fish

runs, but if the WFC were truly interested in helping wild salmon and steelhead return to healthy numbers they would invest their time, money, and effort into proven methods of improving the health of wild runs including more spill and habitat restoration. This is an attack on hatcheries plain and simple, and would accomplish little more than reducing our current returns of fish to a fraction of what we expect today.

NSIA is watching this issue closely and will likely be calling on sportsmen and women, sportfishing industry businesses, and advocates to assist us in battling this potential lawsuit. Representatives from the sportfishing industry will be heavily involved in efforts to improve the North of Falcon process in hopes of getting a more fair allocation of fish to recreational anglers in the Puget Sound area. For the past several years recreational anglers have had to bear the burden of

fisheries closures and lower allocation of fish, leading to severe negative impacts on the businesses serving recreational anglers. The closures in Areas 9 and 10 last year brought the sport fishing community to the boiling point. Managers and stakeholders have a lot of work to do to prevent a complete breakdown and widespread fishery closures. We all owe it to each other and the fish to get it right.

Another major issue the recreational community is facing in 2016 is fully implementing the Columbia River reforms adopted by Oregon and Washington two years ago. The reforms prioritize recreational fishing in the mainstem Columbia, while providing robust fisheries for gillnets in the SAFE areas and transitioning the mainstem commercial fleet to selective gear. This is great news for the recreational sportfishing industry and communities along the river since the reforms would allow for longer salmon seasons from Buoy 10 upstream to Washington and Idaho and still deliver fish to the markets. The reforms would also limit areas where gillnets can fish and would restrict the types of nets used to produce higher survivability of wild fish that happen to get caught.

Unsurprisingly, the commercial fishing industry is pushing back in an attempt to undo years of progress, but NSIA is working closely with Steelheaders, CCA and the NW Guides Assn. to maintain the reforms and eventually see businesses reap the benefits of longer fishing seasons. Looking at statistics from 2014, we know that each salmon caught by a recreational angler accounts for nearly $240 in consumer spending. You read that right… $240 per fish. Look at the Buoy 10 fishery for example when thousands of anglers flock to the mouth of the Columbia to chase some of the best Chinook and Coho fishing in North America.

Every boat on the water, every truck at the boat ramp, every trailer, every guided trip, every rod, every hook, every hotel room, meal, and tank of gas was bought by a recre-

ational angler. When you look at it, $240 per fish is not a stretch. Not to mention the fact that anglers purchase permits for the privilege to fish. Those license fees make up the biggest single funding source for ODFW and WDFW’s operating budgets.

On the other hand, each fish caught by the commercial fleet in 2014 averaged little more than $16 per fish. We are by no means anticommercial fishing. It is an important industry that supports hard-working families in Oregon and Washington, but we have to be smart about how we allocate our resources. Numbers do not lie, and the numbers say that our communities in the Northwest will benefit more from optimizing the economics and improving conservation in our harvest models.

As 2016 goes forward, we will be working with WDFW and ODFW to find a sustainable funding model for the agencies. Unfor-

tunately, fewer general fund dollars allocated to these agencies has meant higher license fees passed on to anglers, and with higher fees you always price out potential anglers and families. However, it is a classic Catch 22: underfund the agencies and fisheries will suffer, but continue to price out anglers and fewer people are fishing. Either way it eventually trickles down to the sportfishing industry feeling it in the bottom line. Oregon, at least, has formed a task force charged with seeking out a new means of funding ODFW, and NSIA has a seat at the table. We will be seeking out and advocating for a new funding model that takes such a heavy burden off anglers.

Finally, we continue to push for full renewal of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and the fight for our access to public lands will remain a big issues for NSIA. Recent events have shown us that public lands are under attack. From Congress’ inability to renew LWCF after 50 years of noncontroversial service to the American public, to the effort by some in Congress to sell off our lands, it is clear that we have to remain vigilant. The vast majority of recreational angling in Oregon and Washington takes place on public lands. Fishermen and women seek out areas they can access without trespassing or imposing on landowners’ rights, and we simply cannot sit by while opponents threaten the programs that provide that access.

We are excited to accomplish these and many other important goals that lie ahead, but we cannot do anything without the support of anglers and businesses in the industry. The challenges ahead are imposing, but we are going to meet these obstacles head-on and work for solutions that benefit all recreational anglers. As we say at NSIA, sportfishing means business, and we intend to push for healthier fisheries in 2016 so our friends and neighbors in the sport-angling industry can continue to succeed.

Got $21.5 million?

There’s an old adage that compares sailing to “standing in a cold shower, tearing up $100 bills.” And while I’m not totally convinced that shredding your savings account in mere $100 increments is going to come anywhere near close enough to matching the annual monetary requirements that even the most modest of sailboats requires (unless, of course, you’re spending all your waking hours standing in that forementioned cold shower) I think we all get the point. These little floating darlings that we love so much require one hell of a lot of scratch just to keep afloat at a decent dock with reasonably sound sails, rigging, and a sufficient supply of beverages in the icebox. But $21.5 million US dollars?

That kind of money is usually reserved for one of those insanely large, Tiger Woods-owned mega-yachts, complete with a full crew, solid-gold dinner settings and, presumably, one or two swimsuit models lounging on the bow.

Or it could get you Endeavour.

If you’re up on your yacht racing history, then right about now, you should be asking, “The 1934 America’s Cup Endeavor, Eric?” To which I’d answer, “That’s the one.” And I’m not joking, either. It turns out that the current owner of the legendary yacht has her on the market for a cool 20 million Euros, which apparently translates into $21.5 million USD. Although by the time you read this, given the current state of the market, I have no idea what 20 million Euros will be worth. But back to Endeavour.

It was designed by Charles E. Nicholson for T.O.M. Sopwith, and built for the then-astronomical sum of $400,000. Endeavour was the J-boat horse that Sopwith was going to ride in his attempt to win the 1934 America’s Cup race. At 130 feet LOA (83 feet at the waterline), she was a massive steel yacht. There weren’t all that many people in the middle of the Great Depression who could shell out the kind of money needed to create such a boat and pay a crew to sail her, but Sopwith had made a fortune building airplanes, most famously the Sopwith Camel, which was instrumental in helping to defeat the Germans in World War I and which, I suppose, could have been considered an easier task than prying the America’s Cup from the clutches of the New York Yacht Club.

Endeavour was absolutely beautiful, but more than that, she was fast, very fast, as she proved in her first season at home by consistently beating other yachts throughout Britain. Her speedy ways continued when she reached the United States and the Cup races, pushing the American defender, Rainbow, to the very brink of defeat. In fact, to this day, many believe she was the faster yacht, and that Mike Vanderbilt and his crew on board Rainbow simply sailed smarter races, and got lucky more than once when the amateur crew on board Endeavour made grievous tactical errors, something that was magnified by the fact that Sopwith had recently fired his professional crew when they struck for The beautifully restored J-boat Endeavour. higher wages, This got them rePhoto Credit: Remi Jouan placed with a mostly amateur crew,

Endeavour, in all her glory. Photo Credit: Yacht Essentials many of whom had never sailed a J-boat before. And wouldn’t it be fun to see THAT sort of labor dispute in the modern day America’s Cup? Anyway, whatever the culprit, Endeavour failed to bring the cup back to England, and like so many J’s of that era, she ended up in disrepair, waiting to be melted down and turned into airplanes and bullets and the like, this time for World War II. Endeavour was laid up in Britain, and in 1947, she was sold for scrap, only hours before she was due to be demolished. From there she languished as a houseboat until the 1970’s when she endured yet another indignity, this time sinking in the River Medina on the Isle of Wight.

And this is where it starts to get really interesting. She was purchased for the grand sum of 10 English pounds, and no, that’s not a misprint. We have close friends who once purchased a beautiful yacht that just needed some refurbishing, and they paid less than what a standard latte at Starbucks would set you back, but picking up a legendary America’s continued on page 14

Dale’s Corner

Reader Questions Revisited 2 Continuing with the theme of answering questions from our FWN readers, let’s look at a very common question for this Dale time of year.

Waagmeester 1) What should I do “sail-wise” to winterize my boat?

We have covered this in earlier columns, but it bears repeating.

The typical advice that I give sailors is to remove the mainsail from the boom and take the genoa off of the furler to avoid wear and

tear from winter storms. We replace a fair number of furling genoas every year where the furling line came loose and the sail unfurled in one of our winter wind storms. This commonly turns the genoa into shreds. If you aren’t using the boat over the winter, take your sails off of the boat, dry them out, and store them in a dry place away from where mice and rats can nest in them and chew holes everywhere.

Unfortunately when critters nest in your sails, they typically use the space as their personal rest room, leaving the sail stained and

smelly. It is not unheard of for Nutria to break into a dock box in order to nest in some nice fluffy sails. This makes an unbelievable mess. Also be warned that your sweet lovable cat, Fluffy, finds it irresistible to mark your sails as her own, so make sure that your sails aren’t just stuffed in a corner of your garage for the winter, where Fluffy can get to them easily. I think that this is pretty common sense advice, however. I actually see a couple of problems that are much more common during the winter months that don’t have to do with the sails themselves, but rather are sail related.

Stop putting those darned blue poly tarps over your mainsail cover to act as a boom tent! Sail covers are most commonly made of a woven acrylic material; the most common brand being Sunbrella. Over the years, Sunbrella has become the generic name for woven acrylic, much like Kleenex has become the generic name for tissue. There are lots of brands of woven acrylic out there, however; with names like Recasens, Dickson, Recacril, and Sattler to name a few. These are all similar fabrics

with similar characteristics.

These fabrics come in many beautiful colors and they lose very little of their original color over the years. They are relatively water resistant and also shrink very little, if at all. Acrylic fabric is perfect for awnings and, more important to sailors, canvas work for the marine trade. About the only flaw this material has is that it is not very resistant to abrasion.

Any abrasion points on a cover must be reinforced with leather or vinyl to avoid wear. If you drape a poly tarp boom tent over a brand new sail cover and the tarp is allowed to work back and forth over the cover in high winds, you can wear through the top edge of the cover over the course of a weekend.

Unfortunately, I have seen this time and time again over the years, despite the warnings given. You can go to any moorage in town on any day of the week and see poly tarp boom tents draped over sail covers. All you can do is shake your head. Sometime soon these sail covers will need extensive patching across their top edge or, worse yet, they will need to be completely replaced.

Speaking of new sail covers, and problem number two on this months list, is that it is not uncommon for sailors to order new sail covers for the winter in an effort to keep their mainsails clean and dry over the winter. When a

sailor comes in to our loft to order a new sail cover, one of the first things I ask them is how old their existing mainsail is. If they plan on ordering a new mainsail in the next year or two, it is best to make do with the present cover until they can replace the mainsail.

It is almost certain that the new mainsail will be bulkier than the old one. As a general rule, today’s sail fabrics are firmer (stiffer) than those made a decade or so ago.

This means that a custom cover that fits the old main perfectly will barely fit around the girth of the new, higher stacking sail. The new cover can be made to fit looser than normal in anticipation of the new, stiffer mainsail, but as long as you are getting a new custom made sail cover, doesn’t it make sense to just wait for the new mainsail to insure that the cover is truly “custom” and fits the new sail perfectly? You will be living with both for the next ten years or more, so why not wait a bit until you replace that old mainsail in order to have everything fit perfectly.

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, however, your best bet is to remove your main from the boom and take your genoa off of the furler over the winter. Trust me: we rarely have to replace a sail because it was torn into small pieces while sitting, all flaked and rolled, safely in the sail bag.

ther who was the first president of the World Bank. She has since been more than active in maritime preservation and J-boat restorations, in addition to more than 80 classic yachts. (And that’s just her hobby!)

Meyer had Endeavour shipped to Royal Huisman in the Netherlands and dropped untold amounts into its restoration. Five years later, this beautiful yacht was sailing once again and was cruised and raced all around the world. In 2000, Meyer sold her for $15 million to Dennis Kozlowski, the former CEO of Tyco International, who held onto Endeavour until he sold her in 2006 for a reported $13 million. And I have no idea if he needed the money for his legal fees, but that’s a whole other story.

All I know is that the buyer was listed only as “a Hawaii resident.”

I know a few people who live in the Hawaiian Islands, and as far as I know, none of them bought Endeavour. But maybe they’re just not talking.

Nevertheless, here’s your chance to own a true piece of sailing history. All you really need are 14 friends to help you sail her, enough spare sails lying around to fill that sailplan of 7,651 square feet, and a marina slip big enough to hold her 130 foot length and 22 foot beam. Oh, and a generous loan from the World Bank wouldn’t hurt, either.

In the Galley with Capt. Sandra Thoma

Sweethearts Dinner Aboard Before there was Tranquility, our Catalina 36, there was Lookfar, a MacGregor 26. Before there was Roy, it was just my two daughters and I. Lookfar was our floating base for all things joyous.

We sailed up and down the lakes of eastern Oregon, went swimming and fishing, had campfires on the beach and slept on the decks, floating under the stars.

One cold winter day, I was cruising the Portland Boat Show when I noticed a large, pink sign that read “Sail for the Cure.”

That’s something I can get behind, I thought. After all, as a then two-year cancer survivor, that is exactly what I had been doing — sailing my way back to life. That spring I joined Oregon Women’s Sailing Association, and signed up for the Sailing Basics class, and the Wednesday Night Sail program. At the encouragement of the notorious Captain Chum-bucket, who told me I should be sailing my own boat, I launched Lookfar on the Columbia that summer.

Late that summer, a friend called me. “There is a fellow who would like to meet you,” she said.

Meeting a man was not something I wanted to do. After all, I had two kids and a full-time job, and dating was not something I had time for. I received an email anyway asking me to drinks or dinner. I politely declined the invitation, but asked what his sailing experience was, as I was sometimes looking for capable crew. He replied with pictures of himself on sailboats in exotic places. At that, the possibility of adding new crew seemed more appealing.

The following spring I found Roy was indeed capable crew and first mate. We decided to stretch our wings and explore beyond the well-trodden waters between the I-5 and 205 bridges. So it was that one summer day, on the eve of my birthday, we tacked under the I-5 Bridge and headed downriver.

We tied up that evening under the lovely view of the riverside town of St. Helens, proud of our first long voyage together.

While I coiled lines, Roy lit the BBQ, put steaks on the grill and arranged a beautiful appetizer platter of duck pate, olives and tiny little pickles called cornichons. We were relaxing in the cockpit, sipping champagne when some couples from the large power yachts moored behind us walked by on their way to town for dinner. The crisply dressed wives paid our little sailboat no mind, but two of the gen-

tlemen caught wind of our steaks on the grill. They stopped in their tracks, took two steps backwards, and eyeballed us curiously.

“Wow, that smells good,” one of them said. “A lot better than what we’re going to have, I’m sure,” the other said. “ Ye p , p r e t t y y u m m y,” I replied, and popped a pate-laden cracker in my mouth.

“What are you all up to?” the first gentleman asked.

“It’s my birthday dinner,” I said, a huge grin on my face.

We’d invite you to stay for a glass, but it looks like your gals have different plans,” I nodded towards the ramp. Their wives were waiting not-so-patiently at the top of the dock.

“We’re headed downriver tomorrow. Why don’t you folks join us?” the second gentleman asked.

“We’d love to,” Roy said, “but we’re flying to the coast tomorrow for brunch.”

“Get outta here,” of the men said. “Yea, sure,” said the other.

They looked up and down our little boat dubiously.

“Oh, it’s true,” I said, still grinning. “My Sweetheart has an airplane. He built it himself. We’re headed back to Hayden Bay first thing in the morning. My boat can do that,” I said, pointing at the large outboard. “We’re going to Pacific City for brunch,” I said, leaning against Roy in a half hug.

The two men stood staring at us, speechless. “I guess you two know how to live,” one of them said.

“You all have a good rest of your voyage,” I said, picking up a little pickle. Roy peeked under the lid of the grill to check on the steaks. The two men wandered up the dock to join their spouses, shaking their heads as they left.

Roy and I picked up our cham-

pagne glasses, clinked them together in a toast and smiled broadly at each other. I think we do know how to live, I said. Uhhuh, Roy replied, and leaned over and kissed me.

Mango is one of Roy’s favorite foods. It is a bright, delectable treat in the middle of our PNW rainy winters. Try this dish for your sweetheart, and as an added treat, make it a snuggly dinner aboard.

Grilled Mango Shrimp Marinade: Juice of two limes Finely diced onion Chopped cilantro Tablespoon of avocado or coconut oil Rub about 6 medium-size shrimp each with salt and pepper Let rest in the marinade for 30 minutes to an hour Sauce: Peel and pit two mangos Puree with 2 tablespoons of ginger, juice of one lime, ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon of honey Set aside Grill the shrimp until just pink Spoon about a ¼ cup of the sauce on each plate Arrange the shrimp on the sauce. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the shrimp.

Add slices of fresh mango, avocado, jicama, and springs of fresh cilantro.

Serve to your sweetie with a glass of prosecco and a kiss!
