AT OUR DOCKS 1987 FARR 1220 Kotuku “One of life’s more difficult tasks is to sail aboard a Bruce Farr design and find something wrong with the boat,” says Sailing World’s Chris Hufstader. This 1220 has proven herself offshore & cruised the Northwest in comfort and style while managing to win most races in the area.

2013 & 2012 J/70’s Hull #17 & #80 of J Boats’ popular ramp or hoist launch-able daysailor and one design or phrf racing boat. #17 has lived on her trailer at Shilshole Marina and has been extremely lightly used as a daysailor. #80 has raced and daysailed lightly and lives on her trailer in the driveway on Mercer Island.

2013 Rhodes 22 Delight in the passion of sailing a small capable couples’ daysailor and weekender. The Rhodes 22 continues to fill the gap between a trailerable daysailor and the larger cruising boats. Complete with every option imaginable, this Rhodes 22 Continental is ready for your gunkholing adventures to begin.

Why I Love Whidbey Island Race Week Yes, in this cruise-iest of months, I want to talk about racing. Summer is in full swing, and all over the Pacific Northwest, cruisers are nosing into gunkholes, relishing the kind of sleep that only comes from a quiet night on the hook. We’re chock-full of cruising articles this month, from legends of Cowichan Bay (page 29) to shorthanded spinnaker tips for cruisers (page 36), from a sailor attempting to cruise without generating plastic waste (page 26) to a West Sound tour of craft breweries (page 38).

The thing is, I’m still basking in the glow of Whidbey Island Race Week (WIRW): grinning, replaying, and wishing I was there with those friends right now. I know about summer camp, and this nostalgia is way more summer camp than anything to do with rum. I was only there for one day of sailing (thanks Charlie and Absoutely crew!) and I still feel this way.

This event has helped to shape me as a sailor. WIRW has given me a lot of firsts: the first real one-design sailing I ever did, the first time I ever got coached by a pro, the first time I suffered through a protest hearing, and the first race I won at the helm; and vastly more important...it was at Whidbey that I really began to feel that the sailors of the PNW were my community.

For a few years, the participation numbers have been underwhelming (in full disclosure I’m on the WIRW Advisory Board, and am privy to a lot of the behind-thecurtain stuff). The numbers didn’t signal a turnaround, but the great energy this year fully reinvigorated me about the importance of WIRW and boat racing in general.

Whidbey Island Race Week has made a preliminary announcement about a four-day event, and other rumors are flying. It is with ambivalence that I think this is the right move. Though I haven’t entirely missed a WIRW in almost a decade, I haven’t been able to attend a full week since 2012; and I work in the biz...

Whether a schedule alteration sounds terrible or awesome to you, don’t give up on this event, it is truly unique and worthwhile. Come next year if you haven’t in a few years, it’s even more fun than you remember! Come for the first time. Register early. Other (lesser) race weeks are dying around the country. With support and enthusiasm from this sailing community, our Race Week can do much better than survive. All it takes is for sailors to sign up and come have an incredible time. If shortening the event means more people can do that, I’m in.

While imperfect, Penn Cove is just so fun. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed observing the tactical trends throughout the week. Day one, race one, EVERYBODY is trying to win the boat and be first to the beach on the north side of the cove. Inevitably, one of those first races will have a conditional shift where the beach doesn’t pay, and the gambling begins. By Tuesday, many boats have over-thought things and forget that the beach pays a majority of the time. PRO Charley Rathkopf likes to make things even more interesting by setting a line that favors the pin. All of a sudden, people start thinking about port-tacking the fleet...until somebody wins the boat, hits the beach, and crushes again. For a place with such a well known “book,” Penn Cove is a fascinatingly fickle place to sail!

I believe destination events yield great sailing and unexpected fellowship.

Whidbey is a fabulous example. My start at WIRW was as a relatively inexperienced sailor leading groups of even less experienced sailors to try our hand in the J/105 fleet. We got horizoned most every race. We started to learn things we didn’t realize we didn’t know. Did we get our bottom cleaned? ‘Dunno, but we can this morning.’ Where is our rig set? ‘Dunno, can you help me figure that out?’ The same people who helped me get up to speed are now dear friends, still smiling the day away in Penn Cove and the rum tent. These folks also continue to help other racers and never seem to regret the effort to attend WIRW year after year.

Because the racing is top notch, because the community is ever-stronger, and because a shorter event might mean fewer vacation days required, I hope you’ll join the fun up there in 2018. Whidbey Island Race Week is a gem.

I’ll see you on the water!

Here’s the great view from “E dock” at Percival Landing in Olympia. Thanks to you and the 48° North crew’s recent article on sailing to breweries, we decided to check out Three Magnets Brewing.

I only had two beers when we were there since I was skippering. I don’t care for tasting flights, because I don’t feel you get a full taste of the beer. I didn’t like the Paint the Moon IPA, but I loved the SeaStorm IPA - it’s complex.

Thanks for the shout out, Mark! We loved Olympia, Three Magnets, and doing that write-up! I’m glad you enjoyed your time and some of the beer, too. I suppose that’s a good thing about Three Magnets, if you didn’t love the Paint the Moon, it probably won’t be there next time! There’s more to come in the this issue, with trips to breweries in Kingston, Poulsbo, and Bremerton!

Karen and Team, Many thanks for the magazine. I really enjoyed leafing through it. You clearly have a strong boating/sailing community up there in the northwest. I nostalgically recall my days aboard my little Cape Dory Typhoon and the Cape Dory 30 Cutter, and even my days on my Grand Banks 32.

I’ve now simplified to a center console power and a Hobie Wave 12.

All best, John Morton Barber Cover Artist from the July Issue of 48° North Richmond, VA www.48North.com

The whole 48° North crew would like to say thank you to these two amazing people. On the left, Dave White was gracious enough to take us sailing on his C&C 38, “Kaulana,” so we could sail to Kingston to try Downpour Brewing for the Brewery Cruise article series. Dave showed us a great time, and is a very fun guy to sail with.

Steering Dave’s boat here is Lynn Sherk, our “beer guru.”

Lynn has worked in the beer world as a writer for the Washington Beer Blog and communications whiz for a prominent craft brewery in Ballard. She’s doing all the work for us without asking more than the opportunity to taste some fun beers and the occasional chance to go sailing. www.48North.com

Hi Joe, I just found your R2AK coverage now. I should have been doing better searches while the race was on. Somehow I didn’t have 48° North as part of my R2AK watch list.

The plus side is that now I can go back and read your reports to keep the experience going, and will be able to add you for next year.

Thanks, Andrew Mozier Thank you, Andrew. I didn’t get to do nearly as many reports as I have done in the past, but it was still so rewarding and inspiring to follow! Hopefully I’ll have some more content for you next year.

A Correction, of Sorts...

Right as we were going to press, we got a call from a long time reader in Idaho, named Skip. Skip was clearly an enthusiastic guy and a big time supporter of the magazine. He gave me some much needed guidance, “Joe, I’m a boat nut. I can’t help it, but I gotta know what kind of boat people are sailing!”

This came up because Skip told me he really enjoyed the two articles about the Race to Alaska that had been in the July issue, my interview with “Team Pure & Wild/FreeBurd” and the brief report from the first monohull to finish, “Team West Coast Wild Ones.”

I can hear Skip now, “WHAT KIND OF BOAT, JOE?” Well I take my foul for that oversight here, and I’m happy to share with everyone that the trimaran sailed by“Team Pure & Wild/ FreeBurd” is the same boat used by last year’s “Pure & Wild,” a custom Melvin and Morelli 8.5 meter design. The vivacious crew of “Team West Coast Wild Ones” made their shockingly fast R2AK trip in an older O’Day 27.

Seriously, thanks for keeping me on course, Skip! www.48North.com

Port Townsend’s Wooden Boat Festival September 8-10 Tall ships, paddleboards, kayaks, tug boats, and everything in between— North America’s largest wooden boat festival celebrates its 41st year.

Demonstrations, presentations, plays, music, dancing, and great food—this is a weekend of fun for all ages.

Port Townsend’s Wooden Boat Festival features over 250 boats; 100 presenters from around the world sharing their adventures, talents, and expertise on four indoor and four outdoor stages; and live music all weekend on the main stage.

The Festival features free boat rides for all ages and a paddleboard pool that kids will love! For those more daring and adventurous, try paddleboarding and kayaking off the beach.

For a more relaxed way to get on the water, rowboats and launch tours are available, and for those who want some nostalgia, try a longboat ride, or sail and row in a historic replica of George Vancouver’s 1792 ship!

The Wooden Boat Festival is fun for the whole family. Kids Cove features kids’ boatbuilding, fish painting on t-shirts, a puppet theater, and face painting. Watch hilarious pirate plays daily on the North Star Stage, and take part in marine science activities all weekend and a pirate treasure hunt on Sunday. Kids love the paddleboard pool, boat tours on the Martha J, singing sea shanties, and dancing to music on the main stage.

Over 50 vendors will share their wares. See the latest kits for building your own paddleboard, kayak, or wooden boat, and visit new and old favorites for repair and maintenance.

The weekend ends with the aweinspiring “Sail-By” at 3 p.m. Sunday, when 300 wooden vessels of all shapes and sizes pour out of the harbor and past the waterfront in full sail celebration.

Business or Pleasure, AquaDrive will make your boat smoother, quieter and vibration free.

The AquaDrive system solves a problem nearly a century old; the fact that marine engines are installed on soft engine mounts and attached almost rigidly to the propeller shaft.

The very logic of AquaDrive is inescapable. An engine that is vibrating

on soft mounts needs total freedom of movement from its propshaft if noise and vibration are not to be transmitted to the hull. The AquaDrive provides just this freedom of movement. Tests proved that the AquaDrive with its softer engine mountings can reduce vibration by 95% and structure borne noise by 50% or more. For information, call Drivelines NW today.

“Catherine can’t cook. She really can’t.”

So begins Catherine’s culinary journey onboard the S/V Inuksuk.

Follow her adventures and musings, armed with Mrs. Beeton’s Cookery Book, circa 1860, as she fights with a diesel oven, experiments with a pressure cooker, finds solace in the comforting arms of a crock pot, learns to light a nautical barbeque and embraces

a two-burner hotplate. Only a fool would bake cakes in a crock pot, fry bannock while under way, fight off starlings during a barbeque or try to make vats of blackberry jam with a 1,000 watt burner.

Fortunately, Catherine is not hampered by wisdom.

Enjoy Catherine’s adventures through the challenges of

thinned-out volts and finding enough Sears Catalogues to light fires in the diesel fire pot, and appreciate her happiness when, near the end of the book, she achieves the pinnacle of refrigeration.

Darling, Don’t Try This at Home, Recipes from Mottle Cove by Catherine Dook, $23. 00 Cdn.

In the 18th century, the Royal Navy's own physician found that sailors were seven times more likely to suffer from severe mental illness than members of the general population. On the high seas, beyond the rule of law, and away from any sight of land for weeks at a time, often living in overcrowded and confined spaces, where anything that goes wrong could likely be fatal, the incredible pressures on sailors were immense. The everpresent fear drove some men to faith in God and superstition, and drove

others mad. But that didn't stop as boat technology improved and seamanship evolved in the modern era.

Off the Deep End is the first detailed study of the effect on sanity that the vastness, loneliness and inestimable power of the sea has always had on sailors' sanity, confusing the senses and making rational thought difficult. Eminently readable, it explores accounts that span the centuries, from desperate stories of shipwreck and cannibalism in the Age of Sail, to inexplicable multiple murders, to

Donald Crowhurst's suicide in the middle of the 1968 solo Golden Globe Race, leaving behind two rambling notebooks of mounting neurosis and paranoia.

Of interest to readers of maritime history, psychology, sociology and behavioural science, as well as, of course, to sailors of all types and experience, this unique and fascinating book offers insight and analysis - a thoroughly absorbing read about the effects of the cruel sea on the human mind.

Lowtide August 7th is National Lighthouse Day. First observed in 1989, it commemorates the 1789 law establishing federal lighthouses.

By an Act of Congress, on August 7, 1789, control of the nation’s lighthouses was placed under the U.S. Treasury, where it remained until 1903, when the Lighthouse Board was transferred to the Department of Commerce. The Department of Commerce, in 1910, reorganized the Lighthouse Board into the Bureau of Lighthouses, in whose control it remained until 1939, when the Presidential Reorganization Act placed them under control of the U. S. Coast Guard, where they remain today.

There are estimated to be more than 17,000 lighthouses worldwide.

Maritime Trivia by

B ryan H enry

America’s first lighthouse, Boston Light, began operation September 14, 1716. It was also the first North American lighthouse to have a fog signal. When the British left in 1776, it was destroyed and rebuilt.

The Sandy Hook Light in New Jersey, built in 1764, is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse in the United States.

In addition to being a beacon of freedom, the Statue of Liberty is an aid to navigation and when dedicated in 1886, it was the first lighthouse to use electricity.

There are 592 lighthouses standing in the United States.

The first West Coast lighthouse was built in 1854 on Alcatraz Island, California.

By the mid-1800s, with more than 200, the United States had more lighthouses than any other country.

The first screwpile lighthouse was built at Brandywine Shoal, New Jersey, in 1850.

With a Bristol Channel Cutter

Bristol Channel Cutter was designed by the late Lyle Hess.

The vessel is attractive to blue water sailors because of her seaworthiness and outstanding performance.

Cape George Marine Works builds the Bristol Channel Cutter and the Falmouth Cutter, along with their other range of vessels. In January 2011, Cape George rolled out their first completed hull using the original Sam L. Morse BCC mold.

The Cape Spear lighthouse, in Newfoundland, Canada, is located on the eastern most point of North America.

Cape Flattery Light in Washington, built in 1857, is the most northwesterly lighthouse in the lower mainland 48 states.

The lighthouse and the spit on which stands New Dungeness Light in Washington took their name from Dungeness Point in England.

North Head, Washington, where the North Head Light is located, is thought to be the windiest spot in the United States, where wind speeds have been recorded at 150 mph.

In recent years, the Coast Guard has sold about 50 lighthouses in several states.

The United States Lighthouse Society is located in Hansville, Washington.

The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert

Looking top-heavy with an oversized head and tiny feet, the Belted Kingfisher is all about adaptation. It is very good at what it does but can’t do much else. I see these animated birds in marinas and quiet anchorages, flying back and forth defending prime fishing areas and yelling a piercing rattle at competitors. This is not a calm and stately bird but more a hyper-drive of tension.

Kingfishers often sit on a waterside branch (a spreader works). When it spots fish movement below, it will compensate for the visual tricks of water refraction by diving lower than where the fish is. Once underwater, it reorients itself on the fish and, bang oh, up it comes with a meal. They don’t swallow the catch underwater but instead return to the perch so they can jockey the fish to a swallow position.

Kingfishers nest in an open dirt bank near water, those perfectly bare vertical cliffs the Salish Sea is full of. They dig a deep burrow that slopes upward from the entrance, possibly to help drainage, and some tunnels can be eight feet long. A larger room at the end holds ‘the kids,’ five to eight pure white glossy eggs that hatch and fledge within a month. As nestlings, super acidic stomachs help digest fish bones and scales, but upon leaving the tunnel for good, their chemistry changes and instead of digesting this stuff, the regurgitate it as pellets like owls do, always under their roost perches.

Kingfishers are here all year and only need open water and a perch to survive cold winters. Keep your eyes open around your marina. I’ll bet there are a couple of these fisher-kings doing business.

Reduced-Plastic Cruising

By Irene Panke Hopkins “Is plastic okay?” I heard the cashier ask the guy behind me as I gathered up my just-packed cloth bags. My husband and I were in Friday Harbor on our way north, doing some last minute provisioning. “Sure, plastic’s fine,” he said. The soundtrack in my head came to a scratchy, screeching halt.

“No! Plastic is not okay!” I wanted to shout as the clerk shoved multiple packages of hot dog and hamburger buns into plastic shopping bags. But I didn’t. I’m not quite ready to wear the crazy environmental lady hat. Yet. Just a few weeks prior, on our dock at Shilshole Bay Marina where my husband and I live aboard our 42’ Discovery sailboat, I came upon two geese, one of whom had a plastic six-pack ring twisted around her neck. She was nervously pecking and nibbling the part she could reach. As they walked away, I could see that the ring was tightening around her neck, feathers sticking out above and below where it was attached.

I dashed back to my boat, and grabbed a piece of bread and a pair of scissors. My plan was to use the bread to coax her close enough for me to grab the plastic ring and quickly snip it. It was a long shot but I had to try.

The couple had waddled down a side pier S/V “Beija Flor” is the Discovery 42 that by the time I returned. I Irene and her husband, Dan, call home and made several attempts, cruise annually.

enticing them toward me with the bread, but then scaring them away as I leaned forward. The male was in fullon defense mode, hissing and sticking his narrow, pink tongue out at me.

My neighbor looked out and with just a glance and a nod, donned rubber gloves and joined me on the dock, walking slowly toward the female. Within minutes, he had her.

Wings flapping, feathers flying, geese honking... chaos ensued!

“Contain her wings,” I cried.

Miraculously he did. I snipped and we released her. Eventually after much squawking and honking, the two reunited, popped into the water and slowly swam off.

It felt great, but it was an in-yourface example of the impact plastic is having on the planet and the innocent creatures with whom we share it.

My husband and I have cruised the Pacific Northwest for thirty years, between Seattle and Prince Rupert, BC. We raised our two daughters to appreciate and respect the natural beauty of this coast and these waters.

As children, they watched bears foraging on beaches, delighted as dolphins swam in formation alongside our boat, and became adept at spotting bald eagles perched in trees along shore. Lessons on the importance of respecting the earth were inherent in our summer-long cruises. As they learned about the influence of tides, current, wind and weather on our travels, they developed an understanding of the complexity and interdependence of our relationship with nature.

As cruisers, we became aware of the amount of trash we produce, since on the water we can’t simply carry the trash to the bin and walk away.

The more garbage produced, the more garbage has to be hauled on the boat.

We learned to keep wet stuff separate, recycle what and when we can, and minimize the amount of trash we accumulate. It was a good reminder each year to reduce and reuse - one we carried forward into the rest of the year at the dock.

Following the goose incident, I decided to cut down on, if not eliminate, plastic from our lives.

Over a few weeks, I observed our plastic consumption and collected non-recyclable bits of plastic that I

would have thrown in the garbage.

I was astonished by the amount that accumulated, and how much of it didn’t serve a functional packaging purpose. Even in responsibly packaged products, there are plastic tabs, safety seals, twist ties, and labels that sneak their way into our trash; and into the ocean.

There is a big swirling island of plastic floating in the ocean between Japan and the West Coast of the U.S. known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. In 2003, Captain Charles Moore discovered the patch when traveling through the Pacific gyre on his way from Hawaii to Longbeach. For one week he traveled through a thick area of plastic bottle caps, wrappers, bottles, bags, bits and pieces that extended as far as he could see. The National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration’s Marine Debris Program has estimated that if 67 ships spent one year cleaning the patch in the North Pacific Ocean, less than one percent would be removed. Even more staggering is the fact that this is not the only patch of its kind.

Plastic does not go away. The sun breaks it down into microscopic pieces.

Sea life eats it and it enters the food chain. Not only are innocent animals ingesting harmful or even poisonous chemicals, but we, too, are becoming affected. How is it possible that it has gotten this far out of hand?

My quest for a plastic-free life was disheartening to say the least. I found that most sustainable products and ingredients for DIY products are packaged in, you guessed it, plastic.

Most are the most expensive option.

Stand in the self-care aisle of your local co-op or grocery store and see for yourself. It seemed so futile an endeavor that I considered giving up.

Then a friend sent me a link to the website of Seattle photographer, Chris Jordan, who is documenting the declining population of albatrosses on the Midway Atoll. Their decayed carcasses reveal stomachs filled with plastic that their mothers, mistaking plastic for glistening fish, have been eating and feeding to their babies. The photos are heartbreaking and inspired me anew to make a determined effort.

So, how did I begin to reduce plastic in my cruising life? Here are some basic ideas:

Irene discovered and helped rescue this goose, who had this plastic six-pack ring around her neck.

Produce: Instead of packaged produce, buy only loose produce and bring a cloth bag to protect it, skipping the plastic bags provided. Back at the boat, transfer the produce into bread bags and containers that you reuse. On a cruise, hit farmers’ markets (Ganges has a great one) and local farm stands on the way up the coast for fresh veggies.

Condiments and salad dressings can be found in glass containers. Even better, it’s easy to make salad dressing. Glass-

bottled sauces and condiments are generally better for you (no BPA) and can be recycled.

Yogurt: Make your own! All you need is milk and yogurt, a little bit of time, and you have a week’s worth of delicious (better than store-bought) yogurt. Store it in reusable glass containers or mason jars. I made a batch before we left Shilshole and when we stop in port, I buy some milk for the next batch. Most of the work happens

One way forward may be to revive a culture that allows us to carve out time to take care of ourselves, to notice our surroundings, and to rebuild an appreciation of our interdependence with all parts of the natural world.

This is a part of why we cruise each year. Our attempt to reduce plastic while we travel these waters, although challenging, is something good we can do and it deepens our connection to the ecosystem we love.

While staying here in Echo Bay on Sucia Island, Irene’s kayaking exploration became a communion with the animals, as otters, seals, and geese joined the party. These interactions reinvigorate her commitment to being a good environmental steward.

M

ount Tzouhalem broods over the north end of Cowichan Bay like a beneficent spirit, and vessels at anchor cluster around her base. When the sun shines on the mountain, or when wisps of cloud swirl around the peak, people at the village of Cowichan Bay look across the bay at their mountain and enjoy its calm presence.

There is good holding in the bay, good solid mud at the bottom and sixty feet of water over top of it. In the winter, the fetch swoops up from Sidney, bounces off the mountain, and knocks the boats at anchor sideways; but all summer, the winds are mild and the waters still.

For a hundred years the congregations of St. Ann’s and St. Edward’s Catholic churches walked up Mount Tzouhalem every Easter to celebrate the 14 stations of the cross, finishing their devotions at a westfacing cliff. In the late 70s, someone planted a large wooden cross there and later, a metal one fabricated by a welder in Crofton. And, today and every day, the owner of Lighthouse Café at Cowichan Bay, Rob Holden, runs barefoot up the mountain just because.

But years before that, the Cowichan Tribes, ‘the people who fell from the sky,’ claimed the mountain as their own. It was only a stop on the relentless seasonal wanderings of these fierce warriors of the Cowichan. In the 1850s, Chief Tzouhalem - leader, hunter, and warrior - led his ocean-going canoeists from the Fraser River to Maple Bay in their carved cedar dugouts. Eighteen paddlers to a thirty-foot canoe, they dug into the current with their hand-carved paddles and their muscles straining.

for furs and wool and Oolichan grease, and they fished for salmon along the wiers they had built on the rivers.

They stopped each night and pulled their dugouts onto the shore and they shared songs and dances and stories with other tribe members.

A century and a half ago the Cowichan owned hundreds of oceangoing canoes. A canoe was carved out of a 30 or 40 foot cedar log using a controlled burn and the resulting charcoal was chipped away with tools made of stone or bone. The prow was carved in traditional Cowichan designs and then coloured with berry juice, deer blood, and charcoal. Finally the canoe was given a name – ‘Killer Whale’ or ‘Sea-Lion’ – but in the sibilant and musical Hul’qumi’num language that slips off the tongue as easily as an oceangoing canoe slides through the water.

If the current was with them, the paddlers could travel at six knots. The Cowichan tribes read the ocean and the geography like a book. The bump on the silhouette of Mount Tzouhalem was a frog who climbed the mountain to escape the great flood. The first man who fell from the sky, Syalutsa, built a 30

Victoria, and when the Hudson Bay Company’s (HBC) chief factor (trader) at Fort Victoria demanded reparations, Chief Tzouhalem and his warriors and allies besieged the fort for half an hour with gunfire until the HBC cannon splintered a nearby longhouse and one of the Cowichan canoes.

Tzouhalem withdrew then, but he defended the north end of his territory as well. He repelled invaders into Maple Bay by disguising his canoepulling warriors as women.

Finally, tired of his quarrelsome and murderous ways, his own tribe exiled him and he withdrew to a cave on Mount Tzouhalem with fourteen of his wives to nurse his grievances (he was said to have married many wives, most of whom he had widowed).

Deciding after awhile that fourteen wives weren’t enough, he paddled his ocean-going canoe to Penelekut Island to kidnap another woman.

But, Penelekut women have strong medicine, and either the woman or her

The whirlpools of Sansum Narrows were the underwater thrashings of a canoe-swallowing monster whose jaw was smashed by the hero Sum-ul-quatz who flung boulders at him from Point Roberts. You can see the last of them, Paddy’s Milestone opposite Maple Bay, and you can see Mount Maxwell on Saltspring Island still crouched where Sum-ulquatz asked the spirit of the mountain to duck to help his aim.

The next time you’re anchored in Clam Bay, between Thetis and Penelekut Islands, think on this: The head of Chief Tzouhalem may still be on Penelekut Island.

Back to the mountain... The old chief was killed in 1859. After that, with the arrival of the British navy ship HMS Hecate in 1862, the perfect storm of 78 European colonists and smallpox descended on the Cowichan Tribes.

Chief Tzouhalem was gone. The

people returned from autumn fishing that year only to find most of their land had been given to pioneer farmers.

Many Cowichan people died.

Though many years have passed and most everything has changed, when you are at anchor in the shadow of Mount Tzouhalem in Cowichan Bay; if you look closely on a dark night when the tide is in, you will see the ghosts of 200 warriors in full paint, driving their canoes down the river toward you and beating their paddles in unison.

Is it too cliché to start this with a contemplative statement like, “I can’t believe we’ve already been cruising for a year,” or “This year has really flown by,” or maybe, “Can you believe our boat’s still floating after a whole year?”

It’s hard not to because that’s precisely how I feel. I distinctly remember slicing through our sacrificial dockline with a machete at Shilshole Marina and hopping aboard with a last wave to our friends gathered on the dock.

That could not possibly have been 12 months ago.

On the other hand, we’ve experienced a lifetime’s worth in this one short year (still too cliché?). We have sailed with whales and snorkeled with sea lions. We have varnished teak and changed fuel filters. We have ripped sails and chafed through lines.

We have motored too many miles and eaten too many tacos. We have made bonfires and lit fireworks. We have surfed down swell and bashed through chop. We have cried in frustration and cried in laughter. We have missed 32

friends and family and found a new community.

It will take years, I’d imagine, to synthesize all of these experiences into the snapshots, the lessons and the knowledge we carry forward, but even from this front row vantage point, I can see the outline of our priorities changing, our confidence swelling, and our knowledge solidifying. We have accumulated many valuable insights, including: • You can’t buy bottled lemon juice or curry paste in Mexico, not even at Walmart.

• When you live on the ocean and haven’t seen a drop of rain in six months, everything gets very salty.

• There is nothing better than a ripe mango right off the tree.

• Our boat is old. In fact, it’s in the oldest 5% of the cruising boats we’ve met.

• We do a lot of boat work, but our project list doesn’t shrink.

• New friends bond in an instant out here.

August 2017

• An autopilot is a necessary piece of gear.

• Fishing has much more to do with where the fish are than what lure you use.

• Halycon is happiest with just a jib unfurled in 15-18 knots of wind coming from behind the beam.

• When Halcyon’s happy, everyone is happy.

Since I macheted through our dock lines 12 months ago, we have traveled 4,636 nautical miles on board Halcyon, which took us about 923 hours, including all the stops to put up sails, fix the engine, swim with sea turtles, and cool off in the deep blue water.

This comes out to an average speed of just over 5 knots. And here’s the embarrassing truth. Of those 923 hours of travel, we sailed only 397 of them, or 43%.

This is an awkward statistic for me. We live and cruise on a SAILboat so that we can SAIL, not motor for days on end. I could easily justify

this lopsided fraction with intelligentsounding comments like “Southern Mexico is known for flukey winds, it’s common that cruisers motor through this stretch,” or “When bad weather is coming in behind you, the safest decision is to fire up the motor and get to protection quickly.” But the reality is much simpler than that: it turns out we are destination cruisers.

There are the cruisers that love to be at sea, to be untethered from land and bobbing in the ocean regardless of (or maybe due to) the storms, the swell, the heat, the rain, the lightening, the sleep deprivation, and the tight quarters. And then there are those that accept the passages as a means to get to the destinations. That’s us. Not to say passages can’t be wonderful, joyful experiences; sometimes they truly are.

It’s just that we’d rather be anchored, free to roam and jump in and socialize and sleep through the night. Which means if our speed drops and sails flog, we are quicker than the “passage cruisers” to furl sails and crank up the motor. We want to get there.

This destination attitude may certainly shift over time, though we’ve met plenty of tenured cruisers who, after four or eight or eleven years of cruising, are still out here enduring the passages to reach the destinations.

There is not one approach that’s better than the other, provided the passage cruisers don’t mind when a two-day passage takes four days and the destination cruisers are willing to pony up to replace the burned diesel.

Which is what we have done, sloshing through nearly 450 gallons of diesel in the last 12 months.

So, on to the destinations. In the last year, Halcyon has spent the night in 76 different (stationary) places, including 16 marinas, 59 anchorages and one mooring ball (on our very first night, spent serenely with friends at the north end of Bainbridge Island). We prefer anchoring to being in a marina, but are not averse to the occasional splurge for a fresh water wash-down (us and the boat), unlimited electricity, and a dependably dry landing. In the last year, we have spent 182 nights at anchor and 85 nights in a marina (this does not include the last 2.5 months when Halcyon has been in the marina and then on the hard at Puerto Chiapas

for the off season). This seems like a happy medium to me; we have cruised with boats hosting an anchor that has never seen a muddy bottom, and boats that haven’t touched a dock in eleven years.

We have sailed in three countries (US, Canada and Mexico – boy those are big countries) and have traveled to a fourth (Guatemala) by land. Our Spanish has improved drastically, though we still have a long way to go.

We have been over budget almost every month, in part due to boat repairs, which are inevitable, even more inevitable than I’d anticipated; and in part due to some anxietyinduced over-preparation (“But this might be the last Home Depot we see for years! We should stock up while it’s available.” This was said without irony while cradling nine rolls of duct tape in the fifth Home Depot we had visited in the last four towns).

But we try not to allow money to tether us to the boat and prohibit our adventures. We aren’t out here to sit on Halcyon in 76 different places; we’re out here to explore. We have money saved up specifically for this

journey. And through a combination of boat deliveries, consulting work and resourcefulness, I am confident of our ability to make this dream work for as long as it is still our dream.

Here’s one of my favorite statistics: in the last year, we have had 18 visitors and honorary crewmembers, including two repeat visits. We make the bed in the “guest room” (vee berth) often enough that our cruising friends have started calling us Hotel Halcyon. It gives me the warm fuzzies when I consider the love and support these visitors epitomize when they spend their hard earned money and time off to come share a bathroom with no shower in a tiny sweaty living space while we bob through the ocean together. Thank you, friends.

Year one has been a magical, demanding, stressful, relaxing, tedious, exhilarating journey, and (I might as well close with a cliché) I can’t wait for what year two has in store.

Becca and John have left their Valiant 40, “Halcyon,” on the hard for a few days while they explore Guatamala.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford

Everyday Cruising Health Care “Are you bleeding again?” Jamie is notorious enough for minor cuts that leak red stuff that this quote is a standing joke. Thankfully, his injuries are minor boat bites usually from engine work, getting nicked by a hose clamp, or some other awkward boat yoga.

When cuts and scrapes happen, good care is important in the tropics where infections happen quickly. This is not worrying. Cruising far and wide where out-of-network medical coverage felt like no network and no medical coverage, however, was worrying.

With a dose of hindsight, here’s a look back at preparation and reality.

Talk to Your Doctor Meeting with your primary care provider to talk about your plans and enlist their support is a good first step.

Ask for a copy of your medical history to take with you, as well as guidance on travel health. Assembling a good first aid kit is important. Your primary care provider may be able to give advice on contents and write prescriptions for medications you intend to bring. Start that conversation at least six months before you plan to depart: common travel vaccinations require boosters, and will need time.

Which vaccinations should you get? This depends on your plans and risk factors, but you can get informed in advance with information from

sources like the Center for Disease Control’s website. We added Hepatitis A and Typhoid while living on Bainbridge Island before departing. If you don’t actually need a particular vaccine for some time, it’s OK to wait.

They usually aren’t difficult to get in clinics or hospitals overseas. The kids had boosters for standard childhood vaccinations in Australia, and we all had rabies vaccinations.

The health care provider who knows you can be an asset later. You may need assistance or advice in a remote part of the world. A provider with your records, who knows your history and what you’re tackling, can be an invaluable resource.

Dental Care It’s prudent to set off with teeth in good working order; and it may serve to learn basic procedures such as extracting teeth. Common rigging tools work well for this. Sorry, it’s a boring, yet critical, subject and a little humor is necessary (and to be clear, no rigging tool dentistry!).

Dental care overseas is very good and usually inexpensive. We’ve had routine care across four continents.

Cleaning and checkups are rarely more than $200 for our family of five.

If you have children, ask a professional about orthodontics. Some treatments can be postponed for years.

While many parts of the medical kit have gone unopened, the Giffords have gotten savvy responding to things like a jelly fish sting.

Others should be tackled while a child’s jaw and palate are still developing.

We’ve deferred orthodonture on Totem with the unintended benefit that two cases of rabbit teeth resolved themselves!

Training Up Even if you’ve taken CPR since practicing on Resusci-Annie in high school, get a refresher. First aid training that presumes you’ll be more distant from emergency support is best, such as Wilderness First Aid or NOLS training.

Ask at boating clubs and maritime centers to see if anything is offered specifically for sailors, as it may cover topics more pertinent to your needs.

Search for Marine First Aid, First Aid at Sea, Offshore Emergency Medicine, and see what pops near you.

Insurance Travel policies are popular medical insurance choices for cruisers. With a high deductible (e.g., a catastrophic policy) the annual cost is surprisingly low. On Totem, we’ve typically paid between $1,500 and $2,500 per year for the whole family. We expect to cover all medical costs out of pocket, but this offers peace of mind that a major health crisis won’t turn into financial ruin.

Boring, important again…

Did the prospect of paying for everything just make you cringe?

Forget everything you know about “normal” costs for health care! As cruisers, we’ve never paid more for out-of-pocket costs in a year than we paid for a single month of insurance premiums in the USA. There are tax implications for travel plans, but details are a moving target and only a factor if you plan to stay a month or longer in the USA annually.

On-board Kit When we left in 2008, we had an exceptionally well-stocked medical kit.

Happily, it is overwhelmingly unused.

IV rigs, suture kits, and the stapler sit unopened. Most all of the antibiotics we started with were given away.

Partly because we were unlikely to use them before expiry, and partly because it was cheap to get medication we

needed along the way. When looking at the lengthy recommendations in cruising books and websites for what to bring, consider you may only need a fraction of the kit until you’re crossing oceans: coastal cruising is rarely truly remote. To cover the most common cruising maladies, focus on everyday health needs (what’s in your medicine cabinet at home?), skin care, simple trauma, and infections. Things like sunburn, seasickness, minor scrapes/ cuts, and coping with things that bite or sting. We may not have needed the Phenergan suppositories, but we go through plenty of antibiotic ointment and bandages! Add a good reference or three: see which books work for you.

We like Where There Is No Doctor and the AMA’s Family Medical Guide, which is a flow-chart-diagnostic approach.

Prescriptions If you have ongoing prescriptions, request an extended supply to take with you and an additional prescription to cover a 180-day supply. If you can’t get one, or it’s not honored in the country you visit, a local doctor can assist. It’s unlikely to cost too much outside the

USA, and you may not even need a new prescriptions. We’ve replaced expired meds by showing a pharmacist the bottle, and getting a refill- no questions asked.

Health Care in the Wild The biggest lesson we’ve learned in nine years of sailing around the world is that quality health care is readily available outside the USA. Our everyday health care needs have been satisfied outside the US by skilled providers. They’ve been mostly routine care such as optical exams, dermatology, well-woman checkups, dental care, and the like.

Emergencies do happen. Since very little time is passage making, mostly it’s anchored or moored somewhere, we’re usually near professional medical help. A clinical visit in Malaysia was $15 including evaluation, consultation with a physician, and prescription.

It’s not always the case that help is at hand, although it’s more likely than it may seem. When truly remote, positive outcomes are a mix of preparation, support, and the ability to make decisions under stress. Off the coast

of Brazil, Elaine found her husband Rich unresponsive in the cockpit: she saved his life with a combination of their onboard automated external defibrillator (acquired because of Rich’s medical history) and acting effectively under duress to coordinate his rescue. Other friends John and Kia were several days into a passage to Sri Lanka when they chose to turn around because their four-year-old had more than the usual seasickness malaise.

The Thai hospital later diagnosed the boy with type 1 diabetes. Once they learned to manage the condition, and were comfortable doing so, they set out across the Indian Ocean.

Hindsight helped put our fears into perspective. We’ve never skimped on routine care. Sometimes, time slipped away and led to an overdue checkup or teeth cleaning (sans rigging kit). Today, for example, Jamie’s bleeding again.

This time it’s not a hose clamp, but a dermatologist with a blade saying the lab test will be back tomorrow. Another island clinic and another checkup.

conservative, since it is typically just the two of us on board. On top of that, spinnakers are expensive to repair or replace. When we are setting up the the spinnaker, we have found it is best to pre-set the tack line and sheets to where they will be set once the sail fills. This means the tack line is set so the tack will fly just above the bow pulpit, and the sheet is set so the clew is near the shrouds. One person steers the boat, while the other operates the snuffer or furler lines. It is helpful to be sailing closer to dead downwind, about 165° apparent wind angle, when hoisting or dousing (snuffing or furling). This takes most of the pressure off the kite when it fills initially. Once your tack and sheets are set, you hoist the spinnaker to the top while it is safely concealed in its snuffer sock or rolled up on the furler.

Then, raise the sock or unfurl and off you go! You can then actively trim the sheet, letting it out just until the luff starts to curl over, then pulling it in just enough to keep it from collapsing. Most of the time, we oversheet just a little and cleat it off, so we do not have to actively trim the sheet the whole time the spinnaker is flying. While this is not

the most efficient setting for optimum boat speed, it is just easier and frees up your hands for more important things (like taking pictures of your beautiful spinnaker to show all your friends).

When it it time to jibe, the safest thing to do is snuff or furl the sail, then turn the boat and set up the sheet on the new side before unfurling or unsnuffing on the new jibe. On the Ardea, we set up the sheets to run outside the spinnaker, and simply let go of the active sheet and let the spinnaker fly free out in front of the boat. Then, we turn the boat onto the new jibe heading, and pull in the new sheet. One thing that helps us with this is having a short section of batten sewn onto the bottom of the luff of the sail which keeps the lazy sheet from dropping into the water and going under the boat.

When it is time to take the sail down, we head the boat off the wind to decrease the apparent wind, and pull the snuffer sock down. Whether furling or snuffing, the next step is to ease the halyard and flake the sail into the bag with the head, tack, and clew on the top for easy deployment the next time you want to fly the spinnaker. Piece of cake!

We have used the autopilot and the windvane while flying our spinnaker with some success. Although, I was just reading an article about a cruiser in the Baja-ha-ha who was flying the spinnaker at the top end of the wind range using the autopilot. Someone accidentally bumped the breaker switch for the autopilot down below and all hell broke lose. This is not something we are keen to try. We find it safer and more fun to hand steer the spinnaker, keeping an eye on the wind indicator at the top of the mast to keep the apparent wind angle steady.

We love our asymmetrical spinnaker and use it whenever the breeze conditions and sea state call for it. One of our most memorable days was sailing down the west coast of Vancouver Island from Sea Otter Cove down to Winter Harbor. It was perfect 10-12 knots, flat water, blues skies. We were buddy boating with Halcyon and we each put up our spinnakers and had the best day. Even the dolphins came up to see our beautiful spinnakers!

Sail to Craft Breweries!

We know we’re going out on a limb here, but we’ve noticed that sailors like beer. The seemingly never-ending proliferation of local breweries in our area got the beer-loving and sail-crazy team here at 48° North wondering if we could plan some short cruising trips around sailing to great craft breweries. The answer is yes, you can sail to breweries, and you should, and you can forecast a fabulous experience of cruising and beer.

West Sound Brewery Cruise Itinerary • Night One: Kingston to taste Downpour Brewing • Night Two: Poulsbo to try Volhöll Brewing • Night Three: Bremerton to sample Dog Days Brewing

Downpour Brewing Kingston, WA

In the quaint hamlet of Kingston, which is tucked away in Appletree Cove on the west side of the central Puget Sound, you only have to walk nine minutes from the marina to get to an excellent local craft brewery, Downpour Brewing. Located in a space that used to be Sacks Feed and Garden Store, the family-owned operation boasts plenty that would draw a cruiser up the hill from the water; and the open door, the patio, the regulars, the trivia, live music, and CSA market basket pick up location, all indicate that this is a community watering hole... and, of course, they make beer.

Kingston is likely to be a destination you’re familiar with. Its proximity to Seattle, great cruising-stop amenities, sandy beach, and cute shops make it a popular port for both day sailors and south/central Sound cruisers on their 38

way to the San Juans. As we sailed over and spent time walking around town, three of us from the 48° North crew exchanged sea stories of windy Kingston-bound passages, cruises (including one offshore trip down the coast) where the first night was spent in Kingston, and in-town shenanigans like a wedding crash attempt (I won’t name names). The bottom line, it’s familiar, it’s convenient, and it’s great!

Kingston is just over nine nautical miles from our home port of Shilshole Bay, and the trip from Seattle was as pleasant as could be. It was one of those “chamber of commerce” sailing days.

The moderate northerly kept us just a little fat from a close-hauled course, and we let the sails breathe and headed northwest toward some tasty beer.

There is little in the way of concern or obstruction between these two August 2017

marinas, with the exception of a smart crossing of the shipping lanes. As we headed north, the breeze lightened and made way for our sudden awareness of opposing current. Eventually with no more forward progress, we turned on the engine and motored the last mile.

Coming into the marina is pretty straight-forward; simpler now that the second big pylon has been installed to keep boats from cutting the corner and winding up on the breakwater. We didn’t have to tangle with any ferries coming or going to Edmonds when we were there. The marina is more and more popular, and it’s generally a good idea to have reservations, but our weekday arrival revealed a number of available slips. Eager to get to Downpour, we scurried about tidying the boat and then walked inland.

We entered the inviting Downpour Brewing taproom to find all the seats at the bar filled on a school night... always a good sign. We took in the attractive decor and took note of the ten taps behind the bar. We ordered, “Two of everything, please!” in flights and took the first large table near the bar.

Downpour’s owner and brewer was also playing bartender that night.

He poured us a colorful array of beers including two sours, a shandy, a saison, a grapefruit IPA, a red, and variety of darker beers. Dan Williams and his wife, Kristen, are both brewers and they spent a lot more time working together before the recent arrival of their fourth child. Dan began as a home brewer first, until it “got a little out of control and took over the garage.”

They opened Downpour almost three years ago, and are now cranking out brews at capacity with their seven barrel fermenters. They’re almost keeping up with demand. We were impressed (and slightly bummed) that

(6.6% ABV, 21 IBU) - Beer Enthusiast and Writer, Lynn Sherk their flagship Hop Llama Double IPA was temporarily out of stock after a busy weekend. Business is good!

We began tasting the lighter beers, and immediately the saison jumped to the top of the leader board as an early favorite.

Downpour wowed us with both sour beers. Sours aren’t for everybody, but these two were positively delicious.

Neither was too sweet - a characteristic that surprised us given the deep rosy hue of the Eros Raspberry Sour. Dan is kind of a sour fanatic, and described them as his favorite to brew, but he acknowledged that his local audience isn’t as familiar or as keen. He told us that the sours are most popular with customers from across the Sound. He

did say, however, that he tries to make sours that are “good for beginners and experienced sour drinkers, ones that come out like a tart cider.” Mission accomplished in our minds, Dan. As we continued to sample, we enjoyed tasting the difference between the two stouts, one Milk and one Rye. As your average hop-head, I gravitated toward Downpour’s superb Grapefruit IPA. I’ll be honest, I was ready to hate it - I usually don’t care for fruit beers. But the subtle scent and flavor of grapefruit was perfectly entangled with the citrus character of the hops. I would describe it as less a fruit beer than a citrus-zest beer, with just the essence of citrus.

With regard to this beer, Dan said with a smile, “We like to play around when we’re brewing.” He told us they used 42 lbs. of fruit in the batch. I couldn’t believe there was that much and it wasn’t overly fruity. Man, it was good.

Between his duties pouring beer for his other customers, Dan would swing by the table and offer tasting highlights or information about the beers. He also mentioned that his in-laws are sailors and have a boat in Hidden Cove on Bainbridge, so he gets the cruising

scene. Are some Downpour customers cruisers? He said, “Yeah, a lot. More this year than last year.”

To me, it seemed like many good things were in balance at Downpour.

They appeal to their home community with beer and events and a personalized “mug club.” At the same time, they’re brewing some exquisite beers for the beer intelligencia. And, in a very nonoxymoronic way Dan and Kristen have created a family-friendly beer bar: the games, puzzles, and the kid area seem almost perplexingly at home in a drinking establishment. We loved it!

Sail to Craft Breweries!

Volhöll Brewing Pouslbo, WA

Pouslbo, WA, remains among the most popular places to stop when cruising Puget Sound. Winter or summer, on long trips or just a weekend, it seems like everybody has been to Poulsbo a few times. And why shouldn’t we go? It’s a fun and comparatively short trip from Seattle, and the town might as well have been plucked from the Fjords outside of Bergen, Norway. I’ve been to Poulsbo for chili, chowder, pastries, a Seahawks game, and fireworks, but I’ve never been there specifically for beer... until now.

Watch out amazing Scandinavian pastry shops, Poulsbo might soon be better known as a beer town. There are three fine breweries in Poulsbo, and at least one more is opening soon. We know that Slippery Pig is located at the top of the Poulsbo Marina dock, and we figured you might know that as well (it was also featured in a 48° North article about winter cruising destinations in the February 2016 issue). With that 40

When he hung his own shingle at Slippery Pig, and walk an extra four and built his staff, including Justin, he minutes up the hill to Volhöll Brewing. didn’t necessarily hire beer fanatics.

Though that’s I love my work, and I never get bored. generally true, I’ve only been through Bored brewers get into mischief like an Agate Pass, on the northwest side of untethered dog.”

Volhöll proved their concept as a Bainbridge Island, under sail one time.

While we were eager was the first thing that caught our eye. to hear more of the backstory, Justin It looked like it could have been taken simply told us, “The name fits the theme right off of a medieval Norwegian of the town... and umlauts are cute.”

Ok, ok - on to the beer. I was Stave Kirche, the hinges are like battle axes. In actuality, it was custom made impressed by most everything we tasted. Our first sips were of a Belgian for Volhöll by a local cider maker.

We were greeted by Kelly, who was pouring beers, and eventually met Head Brewer, Justin Crawford, who has been on board with Volhöll since 2010, a few months after they opened.

We chatted while we tasted, sampling Volhöll’s seven proprietary beers on tap and their root beer.

When they sent the original recipe over for the cage fighting event, Kelly told us, “The beer was this yellow color, so all the fans were just slugging them back like light beer. But, it was a Belgian Strong Ale and was almost 10% ABV. Let’s just say there were problems.” And thus, at half the strength (4.8% ABV), the new Golden Warrior was born. Even though it’s a less potent beer, Kelly said it matches their brand, “Our brewers love beers that are just full of flavor.

seller, called Brew Bitch, and a frighteningly drinkable double IPA, called the Mother-InLaw. We loved both of these, and were intrigued to hear from Justin that the recipes must constantly be tweaked. That sounded backwards to me, isn’t the goal of commercial brewing consistency?

He said yes, but he helped us understand that hops grow in a three year span. One bad summer might show up a few years down the road, and a brewer will be forced to slightly tweak the hop profiles from season to season. I hope they don’t change either of these too much, because they were really, really good.

We rounded out the tasting with the British Black Ale that was on nitro.

This was one of my favorite beers at any brewery; and I am not a dark beer dude; and it’s the summer time. It was rich and understated, and I want some more!

Like many of our brewery stops, Volhöll doesn’t serve real food (though they have some chips and nuts), but you’re welcome to bring outside food in. You’re also welcome to bring your children or your dog.

Don’t let the fact that you’ve been to Poulsbo before deter you from this stop on the Brewery Cruise. Volhöll will impress you. If you’re thinking about going this month, Volhöll has a Seventh Anniversary Party that’s open to the public on August 12.

Dog Days Brewing Bremerton, WA

Nestled into Sinclair Inlet is the bustling, Naval town of Bremerton. As you might expect from a military town, the no-frills port is a bit more function than fashion; and to me, that’s part of the draw. Bremerton does not lack for charm, but has its own somewhat gritty character.

Mirroring the town dynamic are several innovative breweries in Bremerton: solid, tasty, and welcomingbut-not-fancy. One of these, Dog Days Brewing, is just a five minute walk 42

from beautifully updated Bremerton Marina and was our final stop on the West Sound Brewery Cruise. For you adventurous types, it should be noted that only one block further from the marina is another well-respected brewery, LoveCraft Brewing. Either would be a good bet for a great beer, but Dog Days was our choice.

Getting to Bremerton from Poulsbo takes you through the body of water known as Port Orchard, the town of Port Orchard is across Sinclair Inlet August 2017

www.48North.com

from Bremerton. The current should be mellower than you might have seen in Agate Pass, but it still moves around in there. You can find sailable breeze in Port Orchard, but there wasn’t much to speak of on the July day we were there.

Whether sailing or motoring, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife and watch out for ferry traffic. Getting into the marina is easy, but choose the south entrance, where you’ll have access to most of the guest moorage.

As we walked away from the marina, the seaside town feel was quickly replaced by more of an urban, downtown aesthetic. Dog Days is very close to the marina, but you’re tucked into tall buildings with no water view.

They have some outdoor seating in the front. This isn’t a big problem, though, as the long, cavernous interior is warm and cozy, a world all on its own - a world of beer and pinball and happiness.

We bellied up and met Andrea the bartender; and soon enough, we had a sample of each of their twelve beers.

The Dog Days story is unique among the other breweries we’ve visited. For one, it’s a very young business. They’ve been in operation since September.

Also unique, however, is the fact that they began their business by purchasing an existing brewery, their equipment, and their recipes. That brewery was in the same location and was called Wobbly Hopps. One of Dog Days’ best selling beers is a Wobbly Hopps holdover, the Belgian Banana. You read that right, it’s a Belgian Dubbel style banana beer!

Dog Days owner, Jeff Scott, began as a home brewer seven years ago, and since then has devoted himself to the craft. He attended the Craft Brewers Apprenticeship program from the American Brewers Guild out of Middlebury, VT. With that sort of training, Jeff began helping and learning at the Wobbly Hopps brewery, and became friends with the owners.

Those friends reached out to Jeff when they began to realize that they loved beer more than they loved brewing beer.

Beer Spotlight: Dog Days Brewing – Ruff Day IPA (on nitro) Very nice take on the hazy New England-style IPA. You’ll get some bitterness and a little bit of pine from the hops and lots of fruit – mango, citrus and peach. Serving it on nitro made it even juicier! (6.5% ABV) -Beer Enthusiast and Writer, Lynn Sherk As Jeff puts it, “Our three-year plan turned into a three-month plan, but a working brewery was in our hands and we couldn’t let that slip away.”

Jeff, along with his creative partner in the brewery, Sharon Stewart, and another owner named Terry Tracy, are all veterans of the US Navy, and all have served at sea. They don’t have much time to go out on boats these days as they focus on the taproom, although Sharon owns a canoe. Dog Days has frequent visitors who have sailed in or live aboard on the waterfront. They would love to see more sailors.

As for the rest of the Dog Days beer: boy, what variety! They consider the Ruff Day IPA to be their flagship and one of their best sellers. This is a mildly

hazy, lovely New England style IPA that, in my mind, can hang with most any we’ve tried in terms of its quality and nuance.

Interestingly, many of their other beers are a bit further off the beaten path, mainly because they involve added flavors of some kind. If you tasted only a few, like the Arnorld Palmer Pale or the Hatch-22 Green Chile Blonde, you might think the brewery is a one-trick pony (adding flavors to diversify their beer). But, the Dog Days crew also has brewing chops to succeed with more traditional beers like the Ruff Day IPA and the Boop the Snoot Stout, where the flavors naturally occur in the beer.

Perhaps my favorite addedflavor beer was called the Basic Dog Days felt like an urban brewery taproom.

T

his month, we had the pleasure of sailing the new Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40. This voluminous and stylish cruising catamaran boasts most of the features that draw a person to this type of boat, and quite a few that make it distinctly unique.

Fontaine Pajot has a reputation as a builder of luxurious multihulls, both sail and power. In fact, the Lucia 40 is the smallest boat they produce. The Lucia 40 targets family cruisers and, in an interesting marketing twist, I believe Fountaine Pajot downplays some of the boat’s best attributes speed and passagemaking strength - to focus on its 48° N o r t h B oat T e s t by J o e accessibility, comfort, style, and ease of use. Indeed, these trend that many boats around the are also strengths of the Lucia 40, world are: lighter is better. The product thanks to its massive cockpit with of the Berret-Raccoupeau design team oodles of seating, swanky bow sun has an all-up unloaded displacement deck, short-handed-friendly helm of 8,900 kg. (19,621 lbs.). To put that station, condo-like interior space, and in perspective, the only other cruising attractive lines that belie the space it catamaran I’ve reviewed is roughly the affords. Nonetheless, I couldn’t stop same length, but weighed almost 25% thinking as we sailed, ‘this is a fast boat more. Reducing weight in a multihull that doesn’t promote its performance; is a huge performance factor.

So, how does the Lucia 40 sail? In and this is a passagemaking boat that doesn’t make a big deal out of its short, very well. Three of the 48° North crew helped cast off dock lines to take offshore capabilities.’ Interesting!

This review reflects the interplay the boat for a spin. The first instance of two different-but-related of Conversation One came up before conversations: “Conversation One” we’d even left the slip. The boat gently has to do with the comparative benefit backed off the dock and spun in its own of a cruising multihull versus a cruising length, rather than backing all the way monohull. This might seem basic, but out. I haven’t seen a monohull do that! much of what we talked about when As we left the marina, we connected we actually went out sailing could have the main halyard and took off the sail been applied to most cruising cats (reef ties to get ready for sailing. I thought early, excellent maneuverability under about going to the mast to jump the power, generous living space, very little halyard, and then, “clicka-clicka-click,” feel in the helm due to no heel angle the electric winch sucked up the line at and dual rudders). “Conversation a steady clip. The square-top mainsail Two” is about what makes the Lucia was set within a minute and nobody 40 stand out among some of its broke a sweat.

Though the boat is comparatively competitors in the cruising cat market (sailing performance, construction and lightweight, I would opt for the upgrade to the two 30 horsepower design, visibility, ease of use).

pair of 20s, a decision that had been made for this particular Lucia 40. Part of Conversation One is an acknowledgment that we sail upwind or downwind most of the time in the Salish Sea, and cruising cats tend to excel on a reach (a point of sail PNW cruisers don’t see all that often). The windwardleeward reality of our locale can mean more motoring or motor-sailing on a boat that doesn’t point very well. The bigger engines will not only provide more power, but, in my experience, three cylinders will run more smoothly than two cylinders. That’s related to another advantage for cruising cats - the engine Cline compartments are not in the living quarters, which usually means a quieter experience when sailing under the iron genoa. There is excellent 360° access to the engines via hatches in the aft deck of each hull.

Though it’s no skinny monohull slicing to weather, the Lucia 40 performed admirably on all points of sail during our test run, including upwind.

Neptune delivered comfortable sailing conditions for our July afternoon on Lake Union, with wind from the south at 6-12 knots. Our boat speeds were between three and seven knots, depending on the breeze and our point of sail, but we never stalled out. When the puff hits, the Lucia 40’s acceleration is palpable, delivering the kind of exciting performance you wouldn’t necessarily expect when flipping through the Fountaine Pajot catalog or browsing their website.

Considering the importance of upwind sailing characteristics in this type of design, we played with the apparent wind angle quite a bit. The boat seemed adequately powered up at 55° apparent, in both puffs and lulls, and kept way up to about 30° apparent.

Your realistic VMG beating mode is likely between those two numbers, and I would guess it’s closer to 50° than it is

F o u n ta i n e P a j o t

L u c i a 40

to 30°; though the inverse might be true as the breeze rises.

I admit that I miss the “feel” in the helm when I’m sailing cruising cats. You get a little sense of the water flowing past the rudders when the speed comes up, but it’s pretty minimal. I found the wheel slightly hard to turn, which is a function of a traditional cable-based steering system. This is a Conversation Two element, as Fountaine Pajot chose not to make steering easier with a hydraulic system. This decision reflects the passagemaking optimization, as cable steering is easier to repair underway than hydraulic. The fact that the steering wheel doesn’t spin free and easy is also offset by the fact that any captain, especially one with a short-handed crew is likely to use the autopilot a lot. With the lack of feel in the helm and the resulting propensity for over-correction, I sheepishly admit that the autopilot drove the boat as well or better than any human sailor on the boat.

Steering system isn’t the only element aimed at offshore readiness.

Numerous design components, from the shape of the bows to the raked salon windows to the distribution of the weight, indicate a boat that’s intended to sail in waves.

The sail plan we used comes stock with the Lucia 40, and includes a fullbatten square-top main and 110% genoa. Our test boat was upgraded to include a bowsprit and gear for a flying sail, but had not yet been outfitted with a code zero or spinnaker. That extra sail power would have certainly increased our speeds, especially off the wind, but it’s not as if the boat felt painfully under-powered with the stock sail plan on any course above a broad reach. Returning to Conversation One, the variety of ways to rig flying sails with minimal gear is an advantage of cruising cats. You can fly a code zero or asymmetrical spinnaker off of the bowsprit (as you can on a monohull), but without dealing with a sometimescumbersome spinnaker pole, you can also fly a symmetrical spinnaker with tack points on the bow of each hull.

Easy short-handed sailing is a clear priority on the Lucia 40, and both sails trim to the set of three winches (one of which is electric) immediately in front of the raised helm station. Trimming

visibility is good as cruising cats go, and you have a terrific view of one sail and an obstructed view of the other, depending on the tack you’re sailing (good view of mainsail on starboard tack and the headsail on port). This is a compromise with a single, offset helm station.

A clever part of the design are the stairs adjacent to the helm, three steps take you down into the covered cockpit, and two steps up bring you to the top deck for access to your sails and rig. I imagine that a shorthanded captain would utilize both sets of stairs on every sail.

I thought the sails trimmed up nicely for beating, and the position The boat is full of comfy luxuries, but the helm and short length of the station is where the real magic happens. headsail leads limit you to a fairly twisted shape. This is, in most and the breezeway between galley and cases, how you’d want to trim anyway. cockpit gives the primary living areas a When we turned off the breeze, seamless indoor-outdoor feel. Storage however, the lead position is way too around this part of the boat is pretty far back. This is a non-issue if you good, but passagemakers would likely have a dedicated downwind sail and supplement in other parts of the boat you furl the jib.

ASK THE SURVEYOR

by Tom Averna

Hello Tom, I have a 30’ Islander sloop built in 1979. Recently, I had the boat surveyed because I was switching insurance companies. The surveyor wrote down problems in the deck called voids. He said there were “numerous voids between the gelcoat and the underlying FRP laminate.” I wasn’t there during the survey and I’m not really sure what a void is. Is the deck delaminating?

Sam Reynolds Los Angeles Thanks for your question, Sam. This is a fairly common problem associated with production boats built in the 70s, 80s and 90s. During any routine marine survey, you’ll probably see the surveyor tapping the deck with a small hammer that sounds like a woodpecker has invaded the boat.

There’s definitely a method to his/her madness. That tapping around the deck will tell an experienced surveyor if he’s got a solid deck under his hammer or if there might be water saturation, deterioration, or voids in the deck and cabin top. He/she can determine that from how it sounds and how it feels. It takes experience to get the “feel.” But that’s why we get the big bucks, right?

Let’s look at deck voids and how they got in the deck in the first place.

Deck voids are, in most cases, air pockets between the gelcoat finish or the outer layer of fiberglass and the underlying fiberglass laminate. Most cases of deck voids are caused in the boat building process by not squeezing out all of the trapped air pockets of the FRP laminate layup, or from dry areas of the FRP laminate where resin didn’t saturate well enough. Pretty basic stuff.

This type of void on the deck shouldn’t really present much of a problem and they usually don’t progress into bigger issues, depending on the number of voids, their location, and their size.

During a survey, I tap out the deck

Notice the cracking around this deck void? When I tapped it out, it sounded hollow but not wet. Something to monitor and keep an eye on. Also, it’s not a typical survey note, but there’s a cork in the cockpit drain? Why? August 2017 www.48North.com 46

lightly with a small hammer, listening and feeling my way around the deck and cabin top. There’s kind of a Zen to this. I call it “getting into the zone.” I’m focusing only on the sound and feel. If I’ve ever done a survey for you before, you probably noticed how quiet I get.

I’m usually pretty good at multitasking but when it comes to doing a survey, I like to have a conversation before I set about the survey and then after, not during.

Knowing the type of core material that was used beneath the FRP outer laminate is helpful and easy to find out.

A little research on the web will reveal the designer’s choice of coring.

In most cases with production

The coring where the paint has lifted was wet. Since this is a fairly high stress area from the steering vane deck bracket and the mizzen sheet the only thing to do is to replace the wet coring where needed.

sailboats, the coring used was balsa.

It’s durable, light, and fairly easy to work with. It has an excellent strengthto-weight ratio, which is of prime importance in deck design. The coring material gives the fiberglass laminate the strength needed to withstand the rigors of the marine environment without the added weight of a solid fiberglass deck.

Imagine a solid fiberglass deck, while very strong, the fiberglass thickness needed to handle the deck loads would be far too heavy. Adding balsa core or even plywood as “sandwich” construction reduces the excessive weight of a solid fiberglass deck and adds to the strength the deck needs.

Most deck voids will not interfere with the core material at all. However, some voids do have the potential to impact the core material. Voids around stress points such as chain plate deck penetrations, jib/genoa deck tracks, cleats, etc., have a higher probability of developing into a more serious problem. A non-structural void is usually located away from these stress points on the deck. Any deck void where there might be the likelihood of water penetration into the coring should be repaired. Any time a void is causing a secondary problem, such as water saturation of the core material, the problem goes beyond calling it a nonstructural deck void. I say again, any void on deck or on the cabin top where there might be the likelihood of water penetration into the coring should be repaired to prevent any problems in the future!

It is a good idea to determine the size of the void for future reference.

It’s also good practice to monitor it, ensuring that it isn’t getting bigger, and that the coring is unaffected. If a void stays the same size year after year, you can put it on your to do list, but not at the top of your priorities.

If the void has an outline of cracked gel coat on the deck around the void, the possibility of future damage to the core from water penetrating through the cracks is real. This cracking around a void indicates the void is most likely deeper in the laminate or the void cavity is too deep to ignore. These types of voids should be repaired.

Also, if the deck is painted and you’re noticing the deck paint lifting off and not sticking to an area of the deck, take

a small sounding device and tap out the deck in that area. The paint lifting is an indication the deck is working (moving) more than it should. This means the core material is probably compromised, either wet or separated from the outer FRP laminate. I have this problem on my aft deck that I’ve been monitoring. I know eventually it will need to be repaired but since it’s not in a high stress area and it’s relatively small, I’ll keep putting it on the back burner and go sailing instead.

Void repair is fairly straight forward. First drill some pilot holes in the suspect area to determine if the area

is a simple void of the coring is affected.

Drill a pilot hole in to the void area, and inject the void with epoxy resin. If the coring is wet, it’s time for surgery.

That kind of job is probably best left to your favorite boatyard. Repairing a void is easier said than done when you consider the cosmetic attention to the deck needed after the job is done.

Nearly all boat repair is always more detailed than first assumed, but some good help will get you back on the water quickly.

Ekono Juan Repeats as San Juan 24 North American Champion

SJ 24 North American Champion “Ekono Juan,” from Orcas island leads Seattle’s “Return,” “Fancy,” and “Grauer Geist” to pin end start at the SJ 24 North Americans.

R

eturning for the seventh straight year, the San Juan 24 Fleet raced in the waters of Saratoga Passage and Penn Cove on June 24 and 25 to contest for the 2017 San Juan 24 North American Championship. Twelve boats from around Puget Sound competed in shifting and variable winds. As in past years, good starts, sharp weather leg sailing, clear air sailing downwind, and excellent crew work proved the difference amongst the closely-packed fleet.

Oak Harbor Yacht Club was the center of activity, and the Race Committee, headed by PRO Byron Skubi, got off nine races over the two days in challenging wind conditions. The volunteers of the Oak Harbor Yacht Club, including OHYC Commodore Avis Berney, were assisted by Chuck Skewes and Bryan Paine of Ullman Sails, the primary sponsor of the regatta.

Saturday’s racing started in Saratoga Passage, in a northerly that started to die as the boats headed downwind against a building adverse current. The race was shortened to finish at the leeward gate. Even so, only four boats crossed the finish line,

Grauer Geist from Seattle, Ekono Juan from Orcas Island, and Renaissance from Oak Harbor, finished under spinnaker. Seattle’s Fancy and Return finished on a jib. The seven remaining boats were not able to cross the finish line within the time limit, and five boats were frustratingly within one or two boat lengths of the finish line (Oak Harbor ’s Ehu Kai was a yard away before being flushed back by the tide as the time expired!). After a delay, the westerly finally began to fill in Penn Cove and the action moved there for the rest of the regatta.

A long and difficult second race was won by Ekono Juan, with many wind shifts and varying wind patterns across the Cove. More consistent westerlies followed as the day progressed for races three through six.

Mike Kleps’ Bruce, from Bellingham, had an unprecedented four straight bullets in the last four races. This was a surprise as Bruce did not race in the 2016 event and finished 13th in 2015 and 7th in 2014; but their yellow spinnaker was clear ahead in this regatta.

After Saturday’s six races, Bruce and Ekono Juan were tied for first with

10 points, and Bruce ahead on a tie breaker. Return and Dave Steckman’s Renaissance were six and eight points back, respectively.

While Ekono Juan, Return, and others were often starting at the pin end, Mike had Bruce generally on the RC Boat side of mid-start line.

“We concentrated on having room to leeward so we could put the bow down and power up the boat,” said Kleps. “We have a 10-year old jib and main from Return that don’t go fast in crowded situations, so we need clear air. We would tack to get to the right side of Penn Cove early, and then tack back to starboard before we got to the lay line. It seemed to us that many boats over stood the starboard lay line. Generally the current and a lift at the windward mark would get us around the mark. Then we jibed early so we had clear air downwind, and it seemed to stretch us out. Most other boats went further south before jibing, but we need the clear air.”

In the first race on Sunday, Ekono Juan, in their typical pin-end start, was able to tack to port, clear the fleet and never look back. Ekono Juan stayed ahead of Bruce in the last two races with a first and third, to claim its second straight and SJ 24 North American Championship all-time.

The fleet was highly competitive, saw close racing throughout, and the bottom boats were not far behind the leaders. Eight of the 12 boats had one or more top-three finish, and four different boats claimed at least one bullet.

As one first time Seattle participant summarized, “What a great place to have a regatta! I have cruised but never raced here before. Good close racing, interesting currents and winds, snow capped mountain ranges to the west and east, a fine hosting yacht club, great regatta organization, and lots of fun people. I am so glad I made the effort to participate!”

48 North's Swap Meet at Fisheries Supply September 16th 48

August 2017

The 2017 version of the AYC’s annual Windermere Regatta will go down in history as one to remember.

It didn’t matter if you pretended you were in Bellingham and came for the wind or stayed for the party, you got your money’s worth. Friday night featured a boatload of sailors in town from all over the Salish Sea. Bellingham, Orcas, and Oak Harbor sailors actually outnumbered the regular Anacortes racing crowd.

Four fleets showed up to compete on the water and consume a smoker full of USDA choice brisket. Chief Texan in charge, Keith Stone, stayed up all night tending the fire and basting the beast. Beans, tater salad, Asian salad all washed down with your favorite beverage made for a fine feast.

The sailing event on the water rivaled the little event that just took place over in Bermuda, but the Cap Sante Yacht Basin wasn’t full of mega yachts and there wasn’t any silly foiling going on.

Meanwhile back in Anacortes RC Head Honcho, Chuck Tidrington,

Anacortes Yacht Club

Windermere Regatta assisted by three generations of family, kept the action running smoothly with nine races in two days. Winds ranged from 7-20 knots and races lasted about an hour each. There were the usual emergency midnight runs to the sail loft and one boat even managed find

that annoying rock on the SE corner of Guemes Island.

Highlights included the Swackhammer family aboard their Santana 20, Hitched, dominating the small boat fleet while playing with Barbies on the runs, and eating gummi bears upwind. John Gunn piloted his Bendy 265, Little Annie, onto the podium without even flying his spinnaker. The bad boys with the black sails from Bellingham aboard Vitesse scored a string of bullets and the Vipers ended the weekend separated by only a single point.

The usual champagne delivered by the chase boat at the conclusion of the regatta helped wash down the complimentary chili dogs served up with the awards Sunday afternoon.

I guess they had champagne in Bermuda too, but I’ll bet they didn’t have chili dogs!

nitial weather forecasts on Sunday afternoon predicted a good week— sunny all week, perhaps a little light, maybe around 6 knots—and the mood and music for Sunday night’s Adult Summer Camp welcoming party was upbeat and optimistic.

At his well-attended Monday morning Weather & Chalk Talk, at the Oak Harbor Yacht Club, Chuck

Skewes doubled the predicted breeze to 12 knots. And by the way, there’s an unusually high tide exchange (12+ feet).

By the time the 63-boat fleet gathered in the Penn Cove playground by 11:00am, the wind was clocking in at 11 knots. Easy peasy.

By Monday’s third start a few hours later, the wind was still building.

18 knots true, with 24-knot puffs.

Yeehaw! The 35th year of Whidbey Island Race Week had come in like a lion.

It was a happy, tired and windblown fleet that found its way back to the dock (after pulling crab traps on the way), ready to celebrate a great first day of racing with a second night of good music. Their reward was the Canadian Juno Award-winning band, The Paperboys, who, even though facing the (still building) breeze, treated the racers to an encore.

Every Whidbey Island Race Week (WIRW) develops its own theme. Last year it was crab, crab, and more crab.

This year it was back to the basics, and backbones, of WIRW: great racing during the day and great music at night.

Monday’s races featured a northerly slant to the breeze with the top marks tucked up in the north corner of Penn Cove. Boats played

the beach with plenty of “bump and tacks.”

Calling the lay line was equally tricky. “Trust the lift” became the day’s mantra, with a sweet little starboard lift at the top mark. Boats that were brave enough to tack short of the lay line, had opportunities to make out big.

Mark roundings were crowded and resulted in plenty of place changes, with boats finding they had moved up, or down, when finally clear and the sea foam had settled.

By Wednesday, the WIRW routine had settled into a familiar pattern: race, party, eat, sleep, repeat. The Oak Harbor Yacht Club’s new gazebo served up different fare each night during the party, including the popular Penn Cove Mussels, bbq ribs, and burritos, plus burgers fresh off the grill every evening.

city was well established and quiet at night as tired racers rehashed the day’s strategies and tactics while resting their weary joints. Back at the OHYC, a hot breakfast awaited the sailors each morning.

Meanwhile, the other “kids” taking part in the Kids Sailing+ Camp had established their own territory, both at the swing set end of the yacht club lawn and right out front, where they had built an amazing beach fort out of driftwood. On the water, they perfected their Opti skills.

Just before the start sequence began for Thursday’s second race, and 11th of the regatta, the RC announced that this would be the last one for the day: a one-lap shorty with a fun, downwind finish. (Btw, the RC did a great job all week of keeping the fleet informed. Thank You!) “That was the best race of the week!” exclaimed Maurice Prather, a sail trimmer on the one-design J/105, Jaded, that finished overlapped with Javelin, the “turbo’d” (bow sprit) ID35 in PHRF Class 1. “It was fun to play with the big dogs.”

“It was also a good reminder that we need to pay attention to everyone on the course, not just the boats in our class,” wisely added Rod Hearne, Jaded’s mainsail trimmer.

All good things must come to an end. To help cushion the inevitable letdown, Friday was officially designated a “two Volcano day” with both Mount Baker AND

52

Mount Rainier in sight as the fleet motored back out to Penn Cover under brilliantly clear blue skies for one more day of fantastic racing.

No lay day or postponements for the week meant no Coupeville ice cream stops, no southerly meant no Saratoga Passage racing, and no Red Barn gybe marks needed this year.

Just good, clean sailboat racing, and lots of it.

Next year, WIRW will pack all the fun into fewer days, Thursday through Saturday, July 19-22.

A few highlights: In the 13th and final race for the 13-strong J/105 fleet both Abstract and Troublemaker, two of the “Portland Contingent,” got caught OCS (over early) but managed to crawl back up the class, with Troublemaker winning the week.

In the other big one-design class, the 8-boat Melges 24s boats came from as far as Lake Tahoe, Nevada and Salt Lake City, Utah. At week’s end it was

Kathy Kushner ’s Canadian Cool Beans leading the way to the class overall podium.

In PHRF Class 1, longtime rivals (frenemies?) with a history going back to elementary school, provided some of the best entertainment of the week.

Darrin Towe has been trying to win this event for years, but to do that he had to get past/around the formidable force that is John Hoag and the tight 1D35 Shrek crew, which he did with his recently reunited love, the Melges 32 Wicked Wahine.

In PHRF Class 3, Seattle’s Lance Staughton has been “trying to win this thing” (WIRW) for 19 years. Which he finally did with his Farr 30, Bat Out of Hell (BOOH).

In PHRF Class 7, Brad Butler and his stalwart crew aboard the Sierra 26x, Uno, sandbagged upwind and hit the nitrous switch downwind, toying with and showing no mercy for the rest of the class, though the Canadian Dash 34, MadDash, gave them a run for their money.

In PHRF Class 8, Jamie Thomas, one of several female skippers and one of two top winners for the week, skippered the J/24, Amuse Bouche, to gold. Next year, look out for the Oak Harbor-based Olson 25, Yeah Dogg.

On board and in training for the week were 2-year-old Arthur AND his 2-month-old sibling.

Stephanie, decorated the club and got everybody out of their seats for some silly party games and everyone prayed for wind.

Friday dawned sunny with a light westerly licking across Padilla Bay. PRO, Charley Rathkopf, was at the controls and led the fleet to the north side of Guemes looking for consistent breeze and less boat traffic.

Five buoy races were sailed and scores were tight.

If nothing else, this has to be one of the most colorful fleets with blue, green, red, baby blue, Seahawk theme and even a white boat in the mix. The spinnakers featured every color in the rainbow and headsails were gold, black and grey. All the boats save one carried dacron mainsails. Two female skippers (that eventually prevailed first and second overall), some old salts, and a few newbies were at the helms of these vintage speedsters.

The wind got a little shifty and one race was shortened, but by 1600 hours it was time for a salmon feast sponsored by the local Trident Seafoods company. Nothing like salmon on the grill, a family of deer on the lawn,

local micro brews on tap and the usual would’ve and could’ves. Eventually, the crews wandered downtown and we commandeered what was left of the salmon, took out the trash and, again, prayed for wind.

Saturday the fleet milled off the tanker docks in town while Mr. Rathkopf set the most creative starting line since the Vanderbilt era, and the fleet was off for the jaunt to Friday Harbor. The distance race counts double, so essentially the regatta was still wide open. It was a little more westerly than the computer told us, so there were some tacks down Guemes Channel. Eventually it was a reach across Rosario Strait, spinnaker run to Upright Head, and a five boat tacking duel in about 15 kts up Upright Channel. Due to some tomfoolery in Thatcher Pass, Alexia Fischer was launched to about a 15 minute lead for the rest of the afternoon. As we shadowed the fleet on the committee boat we could see a port tack cruising boat headed in her direction. The SC-27 has a classic IOR style rig with a massive overlapping genoa and a ribbon style main. This makes driving

upwind a little difficult when your entire crew is hiking over the rail and you can't see much to leeward.

Fortunately the SC-27 is also highly maneuverable, because Alexia, even though she was the stand on vessel on starboard tack, was able to put the helm down at the last moment to avoid the collision and go on to win the race in convincing style.

The mighty Giant Slayer slipped in for second proving local knowledge ain’t all that, as the AYC boats that do this course every spring in the annual Girts Rekevics Foul Weather Race, still have something to learn.

There was a BBQ on the dock by former SC-27 sailor Jeff Rodenbeger, plenty of champagne and swag from Ullman Sails, and then everyone mosied back to A-town for a lazy Sunday.

The Wild Rumpus, skippered by Stephanie Schwenk, ended up on top, followed by Alexia Fischer and the Zipper crew. Colin Emsley drove the Limey Bastard into 3rd place and promptly offered her for sale as well!

hat an epic event. This was our first VanIsle 360, and we did it because it had been described as an amazing race and adventure. The reality was far greater. Only sailors can really understand the experiences of other sailors, and I now believe only VanIsle sailors really understand other VanIsle sailors. Not many people can relate to what it’s like to sit on the rail of a boat bashing upwind through heavy Pacific swell topped with steep wind waves, gnashing your teeth as rain pelts your face powered by a 30 knot wind while the cold seeps into your soul. But in that moment, you could gaze off at the rugged, mist shrouded western Vancouver Island coast and think ‘Wow, this is so cool.’

The tedium of the 40 nm beat out to sea in those conditions was frequently interrupted with albatross skimming the water, and unidentifiable animals in the surf of the swell. You could look across at the racers on the rail of other boats and know that they were enduring the same conditions and moments of self-reflection. There were moments on the 138 nm beat from Winter Harbor to Ucluelet where I sat there in those conditions, with a grin on my face, knowing that most people would consider me certifiable to call that fun. I believe the technical term is: Type 2 Fun. Each of the nine legs of the VanIsle 360 had moments like these: completely unique experiences created by the stunningly beautiful and rugged geography and widely 56

varied weather patterns unique to the Pacific Northwest. They are hard to describe, even to the experienced seaman. We’ve been told that Jonathan McKee, a world renowned sailor who has done nearly every event, described the VanIsle 360 as one of the hardest and most amazing races he’s ever done.

Team Hamachi, a J/125, put together a game plan without really knowing what we had signed up for.

Based on conversations with previous race participants, we rented a 25’ RV and hooked up a gear trailer. We didn’t know what to bring, so we brought everything. This included the full inventory of 25 sails, spare parts, repair equipment, tarps, tools, and even the mast jack. We also brought a tent, two coolers, three cots, two water jugs, two pop-up tents, two folding tables, folding chairs, and a full kitchen worth of knives, utensils and cookware. It may seem excessive, but we used most of it along the way (but not the mast jack). We recruited the father of a fraternity brother to drive it around the island. We used Google Earth and search engines to find places to overnight like the Thunderbird RV park, and made reservations months in advance, not sure what to expect. We didn’t have great maps, the routes were sketchy, and communications were limited.

But somehow it all came together for an amazing two-week adventure.

We quickly found that each day August 2017

www.48North.com

was an adventure and each night a party. Sleep was hard to come by but the memories will last forever. Across the fleet there were similar stories of fear and loathing.

There were 30 boats that started the 2017 edition of the VanIsle 360 and 28 completed the circumnavigation, while only 14 completed all nine legs.

Every one of the nine races was amazing and unique. Here are some of our most memorable moments: Leg 2: Comox to Campbell River We started outside the harbor and raced around Point Lazo and up to Campbell River, where the waters narrow and the currents built.

It was beautiful blue skies and the wind was 5-9 kts from the north. We were told that the current switched off Campbell River at 3:00pm, and if we weren’t across the line by then we might not finish. We didn’t know what that meant since none of us had ever been to Campbell River before, but we took it seriously. It was a straightforward upwind drag race and we were in the lead group of boats as we approached Campbell River around 2:00pm, but then the wind shut off. We drifted about and then the current started to flip, and suddenly we were going backwards.

The veteran slower boats made for the shore and current relief, while the leaders (us included) spun in the eddies. We were able to guide the boat into shore, and then worked the back eddies towards the finish. By this time there was a swarm of ten forty foot racing boats tightly clustered and tacking frantically between the shore and the raging current which was pushing boats away from the finish at 5-6 knots. In some cases, three or four boats would be on top of each other screaming for “water” or a 15’ lane to slip a 12’ beam through. It was some of the craziest and closest sailing any of us had ever done, and I think most everyone in that swarm of boats would agree.

Leg 5: Telegraph Cove As for Team Hamachi, every to Port Hardy six hours there was a scheduled A strong low pressure call in with the Coast Guard system had been moving up to relay grid positions. In the the coast offshore and it was heavy pounding we lost our forecast to be nuking for Leg 5. masthead VHF antenna and Mother nature delivered and it switched to our backup.

Corinthian Yacht Club Seattle

P.O.D. Regatta The Corinthian Yacht Club’s Puget Sound One Design (POD) started on Saturday in very un-Puget-Sound-like conditions of 85° with 10 to 15 knots of northerly breeze. Racing showcased the area’s fastest growing and most accessible one-design fleet with nine J/105s on the line. The J/80s had six boats out for racing in preparation for their West Coast Championships here in October. Perennial one-design Melges 24s, 505s, and Aeros filled out the fleets and had a spectacular first day planing around the course between the larger boats.

The race committee set short start lines on Saturday, promising exciting starts and keeping drivers on their toes. Big breeze put the typical firstto-the-beach racing in Shilshole Bay in doubt, and fleets split from the first start. With local knowledge out the window, the outsider in the J/105 fleet from Portland, Troublemaker, quickly put two bullets on the

board setting the tone for the big boats. As the afternoon wore on, the breeze lightened with persistent 90° northeast-to-northwest shifts and the race committee was able to make use of a early-set gybe mark, a real treat for all boats. The day finished with planing for everyone and tired arms for spinnaker trimmers. By the end of the day, the race committee had gotten the fleet six starts each, and everyone returned to the shore wiped out and ready for an excellent dinner and drinks at CYC. Day two started light and with a postponement. By noon, it looked like the day one results might stand for the regatta. Charley and the race committee tried to squeeze in a race under light and shifty breeze, but a general recall for the aggressive J/105’s turned into another postponement, and the impatience around the course was palpable. A little after noon, the breeze picked up and it was back to

good breeze and great weather for sailing.

The race committee set the line far to the east to take advantage of the afternoon shore-breeze, and racing to the beach ruled the day on Sunday.

By the end of the day, each fleet had gotten in an additional three or four races for a full weekend of sailing in what was mentioned several times to be on of the best weekends of Puget Sound racing in a long time. The results supported this assertion with the top three J/105s finishing within three points of each other and Mor Jubilee taking the win with consistent finishes to the end. The J/80s finished in spectacular fashion with five of six boats taking bullets on the weekend and Taj Mahal finishing strong on Sunday to overtake Crazy Ivan for the win. Consistency and showing up ruled the day in the Melges, 505s, and Aeros with 12HappyThoughts, FB Incognito, and Jebe showing up and finishing consistently to take the wins in their respective classes.
