Extra Days in the Week At a time of year when there can be enormous demands on your time, who wouldn’t like a little extra? Well, allow me to present the additive joy of the very short sailing excursion as a means to that philosophical end.

During my time planning member programs at a sailing club, we developed a strong tradition of events that ran on Friday evenings. Nearly every week, rain or shine, someone would exclaim at the end of the Friday night sail, “It’s like I’ve already had a whole day of weekend!” or “I can’t believe tomorrow is only Saturday!” Even though it was a condensed sailing experience, this approach had enormous value for those club members, because sailing with frequency typically raises your confidence and skill level more than intensive time on the water - perfect for anyone, but especially those newer to sailing.

This ‘gain a day of weekend’ perspective has left a lasting impression on me. It has always motivated me to take advantage of every opportunity to sail, and to derive great pleasure from some very brief voyages under sail. As I write this, it is the summer solstice. If you’re anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, that means you have serious late hours of daylight to enjoy. I’m not aware of any better opportunity than a summer sunset sail in the Seattle area, since it is when the breeze is most reliable, of course.

I’m not devaluing multi-day cruising, nor am I discouraging you from carving out extended time to load the boat up and disappear for a few days. You should.

I should. However, not having that concentrated time should certainly not keep you from getting out on the water.

It can seem like a lot of work for not a lot of payoff to get down to the boat, take the time to get it ready, and only sail for an hour or two. Nonetheless, the next time you cast off those dock lines for a couple of hours, I’d encourage you to take the pulse of your own fulfillment. When you round the breakwater, could you turn around satisfied? Probably not. But by the time the sails are full and trimmed, if you’re like me, you’ve already gotten your money’s worth.

Everybody sails for different reasons, yet somehow it seems like everybody sails for the same reason. However you phrase it - a replenishing deep breath, inthe-moment-focus, a disconnection from the real world, a reconnection to the real world, an empowering sense of freedom, or a profound oneness with the water beneath you - when the sails are up and the motor is off, that communion with the wind and the waves has similarities even as its linguistic characterization varies.

How long does it take to get that feeling for you? For me, it happens when I’m not looking for it. I never find myself trying to wring a little satisfaction out of a short sail. I’m busying myself rigging and hoisting and trimming and... there it is.

Once I’ve had that taste, I know I’ll come back to the dock changed for the better, feeling like I’ve just added a day to the week or the weekend. Does that refreshment, that rejuvenation, happen more on an overnight cruise? Sure, as it should. But give me an hour with the sails up at sunset, and I always get more than I expect.

I’ll see you on the water!

Letters A Different Kind of FOMO Hello Joe, I liked your Editor’s comments in the June 2017 issue... a lot! You refreshed old happy memories of looking forward to getting underway.

I’m adding a post script to your FOMO theme (Fear Of Missing Out). Simply, the time you devote to publishing 48° North is so appreciated by old sailors who can no longer navigate the gangway, much less the waterways. Reality insists that I stow the FOMO feelings and replace them with the vicarious pleasure of reading your publication and oogling over the ads of beautiful boats. Joe Cartwright’s watercolor on the front cover of the June issue is especially pleasing to the eye and memory.

Seems sailors don’t often talk lightly about their fears but as you shared yours, “the fear of missing out,” mine was “the fear of loosing out.” As I anguished over the thought of a land-bound life, my experience told me that most “fears” life dishes out are never as extreme as first imagined. There will be another cruise, another race. There will be another issue of 48° North. You do a good job, Joe. Keep charting a good course for this magazine, and keep ‘em coming.

Happy sailing, imagined or real!

Chris Minard A Sailor’s Concern for the Oceans Good morning Joe, My letter has political implications, so if you choose to not publish it, I understand. I feel strongly enough about the issue that I thought it worth a try. I also wanted to let you know how much we enjoy the magazine. I start my reading with your editorial as your unbridled enthusiasm comes through, and then continue to some of your regular contributors. I particularly enjoy the Wilkens. Nonetheless, here’s my message for you and the 48° North community: Do you love the ocean, and all the life within it? When cruising, my wife and I are amazed daily at the richness and variety of life in the ocean. Do you understand that the ocean, as we know it, is in big trouble? Global warming is an undisputed fact by scientists who objectively study it.

One of the results of global warming is ocean acidification, which is wreaking havoc on marine life, including our local Dungeness crab population. I don’t know about you, but we love crabbing while out, and want to see it continue.

Unfortunately, in this political climate, global warming has become a partisan issue instead of a human issue. The epitome is our country’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement. To protect what we love, it is time to take a stand. I encourage you to become part of the resistance to efforts to undermine our country’s measures to control greenhouse gases and carbon pollution. Will you join me in the fight to save our oceans? One way to fight would be to donate, and there are many worthy non-profit organizations www.48North.com

Letters to support. Additionally, you can give direct input to your representatives and track how they vote on issues.

I welcome other ideas and further discussion, but the time to act is now. When someone threatens what I love, I plan on fighting any way I know how. How about YOU? See you on the water, Neal Bittner

S/V Water Spirit Last month, a reader sent in a question about the boat pictured above. This month, another reader has responded with the following message from the owner and sailor of this boat, “Water Spirit.”

Greetings fans of adventure!

Well, I finally broke away from Port Townsend and set my sights on Ketchikan. I know I’m getting a late start so there will be no dilly-dallying along the way. On the first day out, the thermostat in the engine gave out and I spent two days in Friday Harbor getting the replacement. Yes, there was one on the island but it was a fifty dollar taxi ride to go get it!

I cleared Canadian Customs in Bedwell Harbor then set the new square sail for it’s first day of real sailing. We clicked off over thirty miles running the entire length of the Gulf Islands in one afternoon. Two days later, we spun off over fifty sailing from Nanaimo to the far end of Texada Island. A fiftyplus mile day means over ten hours at the helm for me. The autopilot fills in nicely here and there, but it isn’t a good sailor.

Then there was the long four-day run through the quiet back channels between Desolation Sound and Queen Charlotte Strait, guzzling down all but a gallon of my gas supply.

I moved up to Port McNeill for a much need rest, some food treats, a long shower, and a six gallon auxiliary gas tank.

A snarling westerly blew in and kept me in Port McNeill for three nights. I spent two of those nights at the dock, at $46.50/night! The weather let up and I pushed on. The next two days were two of the most uncomfortable days I have ever spent out on the water. I ran with the current, which was helpful, but it stacked up unbelievable tidal waves which I could not avoid. The second day was the worst as www.48North.com

Letters I headed around Cape Caution in the open ocean with the current pushing up four meter seas that were left over from the wind. I didn’t like it at all, I could only hang on with both hands. The engine didn’t like it either. It overheated and I had to throttle back for an hour to cool it down. Water Spirit loved it, rocking, dancing and bounding over the mountainous waves. In spite of that, we ran over fifty miles that day. I took a day off to recover and enjoy a day of very welcome sunshine. Then on to Bella Bella for a final fill-up of gas and water before heading out for the two hundred mile run to Prince Rupert.

There was supposed to be a southeasterly coming in.

Photoup courtesy Fire Department Two days later it snuck on us of inSeattle the morning. mid Photo

by Ted By Evans. afternoon, we were dashing along at 5-6 knots, but were also at one of the few good anchorages in the area. I considered running another twenty-four miles to next anchorage, but decided not to, due to it’s poor location for sailing out of in the morning.

My hunch paid off. In the morning, the wind was up and blowing. I had the sail up within fifteen minutes and we were scampering along at a steady 5-7 knots. This was going to be a great day of sailing! And a great day it was fifty-six miles! I got the pants scared off me, though, as we approached our anchorage, I sailed in close under the bluff to look at a possible anchorage and the wind willywawed over the bluff and sent us flying along at 7-8 knots! I ran to reef the sail and found that with that much pressure on the sail, it would not come down on its own, I had to grab it and pull it down - not at all easy. That taut sail is very hard to get a hold of.

The following morning the wind was so strong that when I first squared away to sail, after fighting my way out of the anchorage, I didn’t put up the sail. I ran under bare poles to see what the rig would do. Slow, 2-3 knots. Next I hoisted the triangle. Not much better, 3 knots. I hoisted the sail to the upper-mid yard. Now we’re cookin’, 6-8 knots with just over 100 square feet of sail! By midday the wind had let up enough to shake out all the reefs and we wandered along for several hours thru the afternoon with the wind on the port beam. Determined not to get caught off guard today, I stayed to the windward side of the channel so I would have some room to fall away and run if I needed it.

The wind remained light and as we approached Browning Entrance and I edged towards the lee side, keeping an eye out astern for telltale wind lines sneaking up on our stern.

There was no sneaking about it, suddenly it was just there!

Fifteen to twenty knots of wind high on the port quarter, the full sail up, no room to fall away! The weather helm was strong! I had to reef but the autopilot won’t reach far enough to compensate for the needs of the boat. I aim for clear water but it seems like it’s miles away. I nurse Water Spirit through the gusts, wind pressure on the sail pushes the bow down and I am amazed that the mast is still up. I have to reef!!

In a slight lull, I set the autopilot and raced forward and begin pulling the sail down with the reefing down-hauls. I get the sail down to the first reef, I have to hurry, Water Spirit

www.48North.com

Letters is near broaching, the autopikot has the tiller over as far as it can push it but it isn’t nearly enough. I side-step quickly down the lee side of the boat, my feet on the railing and my chest on the cabin, the rail fully under water. Sliding into the cockpit, I disconnect the autopilot and standing on the lee rail, laying across the cockpit, I shove the tiller as far to port as I can. Water Spirit responds and comes around and back on her feet. Wow! With the sail reefed, I have full control and the crisis is past. Now, for a well deserved anchorage!

The next afternoon I put the first reef in while we sailed merrily into the Prince Rupert harbor. As we got out of the entrance channel, the wind slammed in once more. But this time, I win. The sail is reefed and there are nearly two miles of clear water in front of us. Making 7 knots, once again I claw the sail down. My next in-port task is to install downhauls in the center on the yards, so I can pull straight down.

Once again I am obliged to wait out the remainder of the storm. The seas in Dixon Entrance east are 3-4 meters with 20-35 knot winds. I’ll wait, thank you very much. Three days later we’re on our way and two long days running on the engine brings us to Ketchikan.

Oh, yeah, four cruise ships, thousands of tourists and a steady parade of sea planes taking off and landing in Tongas Narrows. I went on to Bar Harbor Marina where it was much quieter. Shortly, I will be on to Wrangle.

July 2017

I’m writing to let you know of challenges faced by the Washington Yacht Club (WYC), the student sailing club at the University of Washington (UW), of which I am currently Commodore. The managers of the Waterfront Activities Center (WAC) at UW are demanding that WYC yield space used to store and launch dinghies for over 40 years so that the University can implement public kayak rentals and other revenue generating aquatics classes. These changes would require WYC to vacate almost half of the dinghy dock adjacent to the launch ramp, and would move our rescue whalers to a less accessible location. To clear the space, we would likely need to eliminate a significant portion of our teaching fleet. We have made alternative suggestions about suitable locations to store the displaced dinghies, but the UW has been unwilling to accommodate us. We are invested in making the waterfront accessible and available for all users, but are worried that the careless way these programs are being implemented will reduce sailing opportunities and increase risk due to reduced safety boat accessibility.

My own experience sailing at UW embodies the incredible opportunity offered by the WYC. When I started graduate school four years ago, I scarcely knew what it meant to tack. I learned the basics of sailing on our Flying Juniors, fell in love with the Laser, and moved on to learn to trapeze on catamarans and eventually the I-14. I expanded my skills to keelboat sailing or club camping trips to Blake Island, skippered the WYC Ranger 26 in Race to the Straits, and learned about “gunkholing” (and where to stop for the best ice cream) in the San Juan Islands on our Cal 3-30; as well as involving other students in overnight sailing trips on our Swan 441.

Along the way, I’ve made friends with (and networked with) many incredible undergraduate and graduate students, professors, staff, and alumni. Other WYC members have introduced me to the Seattle racing community, where I’ve particularly enjoyed racing in the J/80 fleet (thanks Jolly Green!). I’ve gone from taking classes to instructing to leading the club as Commodore this year. In this capacity, I’m learning so very much about what it takes to manage a small business, to organize volunteers, insurance, social www.48North.com

Letters events, budget, boat surveys, and grant applications. I even write letters to the editor.

As a student, and without prior experience, much of the sailing I’ve been able to do in the last four years would have been financially and logistically inaccessible. I cannot emphasize enough how much I value the opportunities provided by the WYC, and I know many other club members feel the same. However, the UW’s restriction of dock space will decrease our ability to continue providing such rich experiences.

For almost a year, we have been seeking compromise solutions that would allow us to maintain the diversity of our sailing program, while increasing access to the waterfront. As sailors, we have expressed serious concerns about impacts on our ability to store and launch dinghies in our teaching fleet, and about safety considerations due to diminished access to rescue whalers. As students, we worry that the administration has not been forthright in providing information or seeking student input about intended changes in the use of waterfront space. It took a formal request under the Washington Public Records Act get answers regarding plans for new programs at the waterfront. We learned that, as of December 2016, a month after the WAC asked the WYC to vacate specific sections of the dock, there was no business or logistical plan in place for the kayak program. At the writing of this letter, we have still not received written plans detailing the logistics of envisioned kayak rentals and classes, which makes it very difficult for us to plan for the future or find mutually acceptable alternative solutions. We feel that our requests and concerns have fallen on deaf ears.

As it has become clear that we have not made progress towards a satisfactory compromise, we feel compelled to ask for support from the sailing community at large.

In particular, you can reach out to the UW Vice President for Student Life, Denzil Suite, djsuite@uw.edu (206-543-4972) and the Associate Vice President of Student Life, Lincoln Johnson, llj@uw.edu (206-221-6323), to let them know the value in supporting WYC’s continued ability to provide diverse opportunities for members sail, giving them a gateway into this incredible lifelong sport.

If you’re curious about more details regarding the Washington Yacht Club’s continued presence at the UW waterfront, please get in touch with the WYC leadership at sailing@uw.edu.

I look forward to seeing you out on the water.

Sincerely, Zuzana Culakova Commodore Washington Yacht Club Thanks Zuzana. This certainly does sound like a complex problem. We’ll let your letter speak for itself, but as is our custom here at 48° North Magazine, if we receive a letter that is critical of a www.48North.com

Letters particular organization, we like to invite a response from the other party to share both sides of the story. That’s what we’ve done here, and we first reached out to the contacts Zuzana recommended, and were redirected to the News and Communications Office, who got in touch with Mr. Newman. His response follows: University of Washington Response to WYC Letter University of Washington (UW) Recreation has managed waterfront activities for close to 50 years, providing access and opportunity for students to experience outdoor recreation and its countless benefits. While we honor the unique history the waterfront has provided our University community, we also continue to grow and change alongside our students, creating new programs and services to meet the interests and needs of our community.

One such program is UWild Adventures, our outdoor recreation and education program. UWild Adventures was launched in response to student requests for expanded outdoor opportunities. Since the program’s inception, our goal has been to eliminate the barriers that keep students from outdoor recreation, providing education and building community along the way.

Transformational stories such as Zuzana’s drive our work and inspire our vision. We believe the Husky Experience is more than a degree. It is a series of transformational experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. It’s a passion that never rests. And as co-curricular educators we create opportunities for students to discover and explore their passions.

Discussions between UW Recreation and the Washington Yacht Club (WYC) began in September 2016, when we shared our plans to commonly-use 70’ of the 700’ of dock space currently occupied by the WYC for expanded UWild Adventures programming, including paddle sports/ aquatics classes and kayak rentals. At no point have we withheld information or declined to share plans for the new programming. We see no need for the WYC to eliminate a particular type or class of boat. We have asked the WYC to rearrange boats on the remaining dock space, while maintaining a launch in its current position for rescues.

Sharing dock space will create expanded opportunities for students to participate in a variety of waterfront activities, from sailing to kayaking to stand up paddleboard yoga and more. Through these activities, we hope to continue providing safe, accessible, and dynamic recreation experiences to engage UW students in growth and wellbeing.

We encourage you to reach out, ask questions, and learn more about UW Recreation at recreation.uw.edu.

Be well, Matt Newman Director University of Washington Recreation

Our dear friend John Aydelotte, R.I.P., was very influential with the beginnings of this event, and always loved the BBQ. We will be having it in his honor and will need all of us to help make it a really great cruiser’s pot-luck BBQ. Details will be at the forum so check the website as it gets closer to the event for more details.

The Pirate Ball on Saturday evening will be on the docks this year, with a live band.​ There will be prizes as usual with the proceeds going to The Educational Tall Ship Foundation.

Paralyzed Veterans of America Sail Lake Washington

By Joe Cline

For two days in early June, something incredible took place on our local waters. With the help and oversight of the regional chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVOA), more than a dozen wounded veterans went sailing and rowing at Sail Sand Point. These enthusiastic and capable people, whose injuries have left them paralyzed, took to the water with spirit and excitement.

They had varied backgrounds.

Several young men around 30 years old were within only a few years of sustaining their injuries.

Others, who easily double the age of their younger colleagues, had known a lifetime since their injuries, and appeared more accustomed to adaptive sports. They came from near and far - from around the Pacific Northwest and as far afield as Tampa, FL.

24

Most had never sailed before, but all appeared to be inspired by their experience on the water. When asked how it had been going, at least three participants volunteered that they were now in the market for a boat!

One gentleman, who introduced himself as “Crazy Bob” Brush, said as he was signing up for more sailing access this summer, “Oh, I’m looking to buy, but for now, I’m going to come down and sail on Saturdays. There’s nothing I won’t do. And, I mentor handicapped youth where I live, and

July 2017

they’ve got to try this.”

Sail Sand Point partnered with Seattle’s long established and highly respected adaptive sailing program, Footloose Disabled Sailing, to facilitate the group activities. Footloose founder, Bob Ewing, donated the use of Footloose’s boats and was on hand to help and instruct.

The participants had the opportunity to try several different boats and types of sailing, from the traditional adaptive sailing boats like the Access Dinghy, which Footloose brought to the event, to the RS Quest and Hobie Wave, which are not specifically designed for adaptive sailing, but proved to be enjoyable platforms for many of the participants.

A young Spokane man named Elijah Sowerby liked all the boats, but was effusive about the RS Quest, “The

Quest just has the most personality!

The cats were smooth and easy, but when it was windy yesterday and we were pushing hard, the Quest was too fun.”

Elijah has a history with sailing, and went on, “It feels so good to be on a boat again. It reminds me that I have a lot more options.” When he was 18 years old, Elijah sailed with his father and a family friend from Bermuda to Israel. Though he loves the ocean, he was glad his first experience back on the water was lake sailing in small boats.

Conditions were light on the second day, but the first had been seriously windy. Chuck Karczewski, who is from Florida, admitted, “I’m not really a water person, and yesterday I had a moment thinking, ‘Oh cripe, we’re gonna roll over.’”

The Access Dinghy is nearly impossible to capsize, and everyone

was safe and had fun the whole time.

However, one boat did memorably wind up on its side. Spike Kane, expert sailor and captain of Team Alula in last year’s Race to Alaska, came out to go sailing with these veterans and managed to flip a Hobie Wave in the breeze. He and a participant went into the water, and a safety boat was immediately on hand to assist.

Thankfully, both swimmers were all smiles and afterward, that participant happily asserted, “That was the adventure of a lifetime!”

Brent King, Executive Director of the Northwest chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America, was instrumental in setting up the event and spreading the word to potential participants. Already an active skier, he enjoyed the sailing and rowing and said, “I’m tickled about the event.” King worked closely with the Erin Green, an adaptive sports specialist for the national PVOA, to put

the program together. She flew out to be a part of the fun. Green is committed to adaptive sports in all venues, but noted that there are certain boundaries and comfort zones that inevitably get pushed with activities on the water, which can make for a transformative experience.

There are lots of ways to have your perspective altered in the world of sailing. Some are familiar to all sailors: connection with the natural world, exposure to other cultures and ways of life, or a life-altering, scary storm sailing experience. Other times, the retuning of perspective or rethinking of possibility happens closer to home, and that seemed to be true for those who participated, facilitated, or were lucky enough to be witness to this event. Sail Sand Point Executive Director, Mary Anne Ward, put it simply, “This is one of the coolest events we’ve ever done.”

Sail to Craft Breweries!

We know we’re going out on a limb here, but we’ve noticed that sailors like beer. The viral growth of craft brewing shows no sign of slowing down. The flavors, locations, and approaches to brewing continue to broaden, and almost anywhere you go, by boat or other mode of transportation, you can find a local brewery. This reality got the beer-loving sailcrazy 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 the cruising and the beer.

South Sound Brewery Cruise Itinerary • Night One: Gig Harbor to try 7 Seas Brewing • Night Two: Olmypia to experience Three Magnets • Night Three: Narrows Marina and Narrows Brewing Company just south of Tacoma

7 Seas Brewing Gig Harbor, WA

Of the three breweries we visited in the South Sound, 7 Seas is likely the one you’re most familiar with. The green cans of 7 Seas Rude Parrot IPA are a common sight in most good grocery store beer aisles. 7 Seas was opened by two Puget Sound natives in a different Gig Harbor location in 2009. Since then, 7 Seas moved to its new location and opened another in Tacoma.

The 7 Seas tap room can be found in an unassuming strip mall about a block from the shore with peakaboo water 26

views. I admit that in a town absolutely oozing charm and breathtaking views, the location took me a little by surprise.

But as we walked through the door, we were transported. The 7 Seas beer hall boasts high ceilings, very cool decor, and, on this summer Friday anyway, a huge crowd. It was a “scene” in the best sense of the word, with full tables and a line at the bar. Those that weren’t vying for tables were there to fill growlers. Though they don’t serve food (their salty nuts are delightful and complimentary), the tables were littered with take out and pizza boxes from Tides Tavern. We scrounged for chairs and eventually got set up on the breezy patio, then went back inside to learn more and test out some of the product.

I bet a lot of you have been to Gig Harbor. It is a terrific place to bring your sailboat. It feels like a town that was pulled from a picture book about cruising. It is quaint and filled with character. You may already know about the many ways to enjoy Gig Harbor. You might have spent the night anchored in what is one of the best protected anchorages imaginable.

Perhaps you tied up at Arabella’s Landing. Or maybe you just stopped in for a couple of hours for a beverage or some seriously tasty fish and chips at one of the world’s great sailor bars, Tides Tavern. That a top-shelf brewery like 7 Seas Brewing has always called July 2017

www.48North.com

Gig Harbor home is just icing on the picture-perfect cruising hamlet cake.

From points north, getting to Gig Harbor can be joyous or tedious. I’ve had my taste of both ends of the Colvos Passage spectrum: I’ve tacked and jibed all day, in no breeze and rain, until we tired and turned on the motor; and I’ve also careened southward in a strong, sunny northerly going wing-on-wing with an autopilot at the helm and four friends lying on the bow in disbelief that life could be so good.

Once you’re through Colvos, (or East Passage if you prefer), you have to focus on getting into Gig Harbor. In our group of three sailors that were tasting beer this month, there were many stories of boats in trouble or aground at the entrance to the idyllic harbor. Stay well centered in the channel as you enter, and don’t deviate. You can unwind with a delicious beer once you’re safely through. Inside the harbor, anchoring can be a great option, or you can select transient moorage options at the “city dock” at Jerisich Park or at Arabella’s Landing, neither of which require more than a ten minute walk to get to the 7 Seas tap room.

7 Seas has a lot of great beer. One of the capable and upbeat bar staff, Becca, helped us build our flight, since we couldn’t taste all of their twenty-or-so taps of proprietary beers. The offerings ran the gamut from light to dark, and from mellow to punchy, including a

Beer Spotlight: 7 Seas - Ballz Deep Double IPA This copper-colored DIPA packs a spicy, hoppy punch. It’s a little sweeter with a bit more malt backbone than your typical IPA. But it works. The hops from the Yakima Valley balance it all out by bringing citrus and pine flavors and a bit of bitterness to the party. (8.4% ABV, 82 IBU) - Beer Enthusiast and Writer, Lynn Sherk Triple IPA that was so strong it made us shiver. In addition to our flight of nine beers, we tried Ballz Deep, a smooth and balanced Double IPA, and their best seller. We started with the Hefeweizen, which was light for a typical Hef thanks to some Pilsner malt in the mix, and could be consumed all day in the summer. After that, we worked our way to the stronger stuff, with our highlights being the British Pale, the Export Stout, and the Experimental IPA No. 1, as well as the Ballz Deep which made clear why it’s a fan favorite. We thoroughly enjoyed the beer experience at 7 Seas. I’d characterize the beer as

masterfully crafted, eminently drinkable, and not straying too far off the beaten path of successful recipes and types.

With so many options, I would say that the beers can appeal to anyone, from a lay person to a beer enthusiast!

We asked whether people make their way into the 7 Seas tap room from boats, and The 7 Seas tap room in Gig Harbor was packed!

Becca said, “All the time!” We inquired further, asking Our experience at 7 Seas was like whether the trend is to come here first all of my other Gig Harbor experiences, and then finish at Tides Tavern, or pleasant, authentic, and satisfying. get dinner there and then head up to Whatever you’re eating or drinking 7 Seas. She wasn’t sure which sequence (hopefully it includes some of the was most popular. She did note that excellent beers at 7 Seas), you’ll sleep even if you don’t make it all the way soundly in quiet Gig Harbor, readying up to the 7 Seas tap room, Tides Tavern yourself for another great day of sailing always has two or three proprietary tomorrow, and some more delicious beers brewed specifically for them by craft beer upon arrival at the next port.

Sail to Craft Breweries!

Three Magnets Brewing Olympia, WA

Sailboat cruising isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when people think of the Washington state capital, Olympia. However, I’ve long been a fan of the town and have never met a cruiser who was sorry they sailed south far enough to spend a day or two there.

Olympia is home to a variety of worthy sights and attractions, but if you’re looking for some truly exquisite craft beer, thoughtfully brewed by some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, in a business that is almost mission-driven, pull up a bar stool for a couple of pints at Three Magnets Brewing Company.

It’s worth the trip!

Following our proposed itinerary, the sail from Gig Harbor to Olympia makes for a fairly long day of around 30 miles. Timing the tides will be a major factor, as they can really rip through these areas, most notably under the famous bridge in the Tacoma Narrows. Budd Inlet is often a little light on breeze during the summer cruising months, but on the June day when we were there, a decidedly sailable southerly was laying down on the water just past Swantown Marina and Boat Works. Getting into a marina from the Inlet almost certainly involves striking sail, however, as you need to stay centered in the narrow channels to avoid the shallows.

28

There are multiple locations in Olympia that offer transient moorage, with Swantown in East Bay and Percival Landing in the West Bay being the two that are closest to downtown. Either can be a good choice, but if you want to be a little closer to Three Magnets, Percival Landing would likely be my choice, as it cuts the walking distance in half, down to about ten minutes between your boat and some damn fine beer.

We entered Three Magnets via the greasy spoon breakfast joint, Darby’s, that’s under the same ownership as the brewery, and then walked past the giant stainless brewing equipment.

Boot-clad, hose-wielding staff were detaching a tube from one massive brewing container and attaching it to another. Another brewer was spraying down the tile floors. Brewing isn’t an off-hours activity at Three Magnets.

One of those brewing staff turned out to be Brandon Bock, the Assistant Brewer, who provided us with information and commentary as we tried an array of Three Magnets beers that were on and off the menu. Brandon and his best friend, Head Brewer Jeff Stokes, started homebrewing together in the early 2000s, and have been with Three Magnets since it opened in 2015.

Brandon was wearing a well worn Seattle Sounders hat, and was quick July 2017

www.48North.com

to mention that this is “the spot in Olympia to watch the Sounders or the US National team games.” You won’t see Brandon in the tap room when the Sounders are playing in Seattle, however - he’s been a season ticket holder for years.

The spacious tap room has several bar-height tables that allow a great view of the captivating large mosaic above the bar. Brandon informed us that this artwork had once been prominently featured at the Olympia Brewery during the days when that beer was actually brewed in Olympia.

With Brandon’s guidance, we sampled almost a dozen fantastic Three Magnets beers, starting with the Calloused Heart Grisette, a sour beer which Brandon referred to as “Belgian Funk.” Though we learned that Three Magnets considers unfiltered, unrefined IPAs (known simply as “Hazy IPAs”) to be their specialty, they are into sour beers as well. They had one sour on tap, and a number of others in bottles, including a beer called Karaktenbier, that Brandon said was his favorite of the beers they’ve made.

Three Magnets make many excellent Hazy IPAs, but the Big Juice Imperial IPA is, by all accounts, their flagship. Brandon clarified what we were already picking up on, “We are making experimental beer almost all the time.” Even more than Hazy IPAs, it appears that this is what Three Magnets is really known for: variety, quality, innovation, and to some extent, supply scarcity. Since they work in such small, experimental batches, you can almost bank on a wildly different menu every time you darken the doorway at the brew pub. They like to make “series” beers, where they’re tweaking similar recipes. Brandon mentioned the Storm Series beers, which is another popular group of hazy IPAs, the Rain Storm, Sun Storm, and the Sea Storm which will debut in July. Those have been such hits that they almost feel guilty for promoting them because an entire vat full of the beer would be out the door in less than ten days, often more quickly

Beer Spotlight: Three Magnets - Big Juice Imperial IPA, Smoothie Edition Hazy, Northeastern-style IPAs are all the rage these days and Three Magnets is doing it right! Light citrus aroma gives way to big, juicy flavors of orange, mango and grapefruit with a touch of bitterness on the finish. Very drinkable, but be careful – that 8.5% ABV can sneak up on you!

(8.5% ABV, 90 IBU) - Beer Enthusiast and Writer, Lynn Sherk than some of their fans could make it in to try that particular variation.

This highly intellectual brewing process for sophisticated palates is not the only thing Three Magnets does well, however. We enjoyed several of their lighter beers, including their Belgian Table, which Brandon referred to as their “lawn mower beer.” This light-bodied and nicely flavored Belgian style beer is only 3% ABV. The group from 48° North agreed that it was the kind of beer that sailors who choose to drink underway might enjoy, as it tastes good but won’t take too many of your faculties.

Eventually, we got around to inquiring about the name.

I was not familiar with its context, but some 48° North readers may be. Three Magnets comes from a diagram created by social reformer, Ebenezer Howard, in the late 1800s.

In considering the question: “The people, where will they go?” Howard’s diagram of the Three Magnets compares the pros, cons, and pulls of The Olympia Brewery mosiac above the bar. three ways of life: Town, Country, and Town-Country approach in a city environment.

Sail to Craft Breweries!

Narrows Brewing Tacoma, WA

Picturesque Narrows Marina is nestled into a little bay and faces north toward the edifice of the famous Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Narrows Marina is home to a marine service shop, a restaurant, a bait shop, and you guessed it, a craft brewery!

The trip from Olympia is mostly retracing your steps from the sail south from Gig Harbor. However, at just 23 miles, it’s a little shorter day, and you might decide to explore the far sides of Anderson, McNeil, or Fox Islands on your way.

Once you’re getting into the Narrows Marina, expect to make the clockwise turn to side tie on the outer perimeter. Narrows only has twelve transient slips, but they are available for reservation. If you’re just stopping in for a quick one, there’s 600 feet of side tie, for which there is no charge if you’re there for three hours or less.

I had heard that depth might be an issue, but it sounds like that’s only true at the fuel dock. With only about five feet of water at a zero tide, you’ll likely want to top off the tank when there’s a bit more under your keel.

Compared with the other two 30

cruising destinations on this trip, I was pretty unfamiliar with Narrows Marina; and I had never heard of Narrows Brewing either. What a great discovery, and an opportunity to learn more about the marina and the beer.

We were lucky enough to catch one of the owners of the marina and the brewery, Scott Wagner, who along with his partner Gordon Rush, has been working to rejuvenate the 26 acres and 24 buildings around Narrows Marina since they purchased it in 2006.

Scott assured us that he likes the beer, but he’s not the right guy to give us all the information about that. He was, however, the right guy to tell us all about this awesome little marina.

The marina was opened in 1949, but the primary building dates back to 1912, and was originally a lumber mill. In the early 2000s much of the property had fallen into disrepair. Scott and Gordon are natives to the area and both have maritime backgrounds in commercial fishing and tugboats.

They saw great possibility in the failing marina. They consider themselves stewards of the property, and their projects have included upgrades to July 2017

www.48North.com

the marina itself, and improvements to a number of the surrounding buildings. They have moved the Bait and Tackle Shop, opened Narrows Brewing Company, and leased a space for a restaurant in the marina called Boathouse 19.

All of these efforts to rejuvenate the marina resulted in an award as “Marina of the Year” for 2015 as recognized by the trade publication, Marina Dock Age Magazine. In addition to the facility refit, the various businesses located in Narrows Marina now employ more than 170 people. That number was only eight when Scott and Gordon purchased the marina.

Scott is a boater himself, and actually postponed a trip out on the water with recently returned Army Rangers, something he volunteers to do with nearby Joint Base Lewis McChord. Knowing about the current under the Narrows Bridge, I asked Scott how the currents were inside the marina. He acknowledged that there is sometimes a bit of side current, but they have a wave attenuator around the exterior of the marina that he says mitigates the majority of the moving water.

The brewery, in which Scott and Gordon have three other partners, has given visiting boaters and locals alike a new destination to drink great beer with an incredible view. The view was certainly the first thing we noticed.

Even before we got a tasting flight, we set down our belongings in the tap room to take in the view through the huge north-facing windows.

We were introduced to Mary, who has worked with the brewery since it opened in July of 2013. Unlike Scott, she was the right person to tell us about the beer, and gave us a guided tour of the brewing operation too.

Like most craft breweries, Narrows brews many different beers. We tasted from light to dark, as is customary.

The lighter beers were quite good, but I think we most enjoyed the beers in the middle of the flight: a Summer IPA with a citrus-heavy aroma and a light finish, the Giant Octopus IPA which

Beer Spotlight: Narrows Brewing – Orca Mike Red Named for both Narrows’ head brewer and JPod Orca #26 (Orca Mike), this beautiful coppery red ale offers a well-balanced caramel sweetness with just a light touch of hops. If you are looking for something with full flavor, but a lower alcohol content than their signature Giant Pacific Octopus IPA, this might be the beer for you. (5.8% ABV,​45 IBU) - Our beer expert was unable to try this beer, so 48° North’s own Lisa Cole wrote this description... Forgive her. seemed a bit more in the vein of a traditional bitter-hop-forward IPA, and a dangerously drinkable Red Ale called Orca Mike. With all the lore about the giant octopus under the Narrows Bridge, it’s no surprise that Narrows Brewing’s flagship beer is the Giant Octopus IPA, but our favorite may have been Orca Mike.

Mary also mentioned that we were just a couple of weeks early for the debut of this year’s Area 13 Imperial IPA, which is a favorite among their

regulars. The Area 13 will be released at Narrows’ Anniversary Party in July, which is open to the public, free to attend, and features four live bands.

Mary loves the beer and loves serving the boating audience.

Though she admits that summer weekends can be “balls to the walls,” she says that craft beer enthusiasts arriving by boat are the friendliest Narrows has a big brewing operation and room to grow. kind of patron.

Mary is also in awe of the location. in to enjoy in the tap room, however.

She’s a local too, and adores this specific They also have an adjacent room that’s vantage of the Narrows Bridge. She available for parties, and while we said, “The view is especially awesome were there, we were witness to an epic when the weather is nasty. With the 80s-themed surprise birthday party.

The good folks at Narrows are marine layer going up and down, you can see the bridge, then you can’t, then doing it right, both its marina staff and the brew crew. It made for a lovely final it emerges again.”

The beer will quench your thirst, stop for this brewery cruise. The beer is but there’s no food available at Narrows cold and tasty, and you can’t beat the Brewing except some addictive Pub view.

A Voyager’s Guide to Making Plans

By Michele and Jon Rogalin Henderson.

We are planners. You might remember reading about our “27 Month Plan” back in the October issue of 48° North? That plan is what got us off the dock.

It’s important to make a plan and stick to it, right? Yes! Attachment to the plan, however, may lead to an exercise in frustration soon after departure, unless you prepare yourself ahead of time. Once we left the dock, our plan went out the porthole on the very first day of our adventure. As it turns out, voyaging is all about being flexible.

Having a plan and sticking to it are great in theory – but once you’ve cut the lines, things like tides, weather, crew morale, and the necessity of repairs chip away at the schedule, 32

and the plan quickly devolves into an amorphous web of possibilities, few of which resemble the original. This is where flexibility, and the capacity for mental and emotional adaptability, become the keys to a pleasing and fulfilling voyage.

There are a few things we have learned along our voyage from Seattle up through British Columbia to Alaska and down into Central America.

Acceptance of these lessons may help avoid drama and increase enjoyment in your planning process. It certainly has for us.

The first is fairly straightforward: It really is about the journey, not the destination. I know, this statement is trite and abused. There are those July 2017

www.48North.com

(ourselves included) who would argue that the passages-from-hell that we all have on occasion are fraught with thoughts of ‘just getting there’ and ‘please let this end soon.’ Then you arrive, days later than expected, battered and exhausted. The truth is you’re likely better sailors for it, and there is a special sort of joy associated with overcoming all obstacles to arrive safely into port. It’s all part of the life of a voyager. These are the experiences that combine to form the story of your journey. No one ever asks you about your arrival at your destination – they ask about the journey.

The second lesson we learned is to write out all of the places we might want to explore and the distances between

them. This allows a view into the possibilities, without making a precise schedule. Hence, when the breeze is good (or nonexistent) or the prevailing attitude is one of languishing in some exquisite bay, you have the options in front of you. If you need to, for example, arrive in Petersburg, AK in time to pick up a guest, or drop below a certain latitude in time for hurricane season, it’s good to know what is between your current position and that specific point in time. On a side note, some very clever cruiser friends of ours shared their policy with us: Guests that wish to visit can pick the time or the location, but not both. This is brilliant and adherence goes a long way toward minimizing stress and frustration on the part of the sailors and guests.

Whether you write out your options, or read ahead in a guide book, knowing what’s in front of you allows the most flexibility in your voyage.

The most important lesson we have learned is that stuff goes sideways at a moment’s notice, and that there are many opportunities for exploration if your plan goes awry. It’s a matter of attitude. We have learned

that if we allow disappointment and frustration to rule the day when our plan is shattered, we are most likely missing out on something else that is really great. We endured all manner of upset when attempting to leave Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico. We had never actually planned to stop there, and ended up being there for three months. We were able to develop amazing friendships with several Mazatlecos, enjoy the comfort of a community, take the time to hone our Spanish, and immerse ourselves in a truly enviable culture.

Staying put also allowed friends and family to visit, which was a delightful treat for us. There were a number of days when it took a conscious effort to shift our attitude, but those days ended up being the most rewarding.

So why bother making a plan at all?

Planning requires that you consider all of the scenarios for the best possible outcome. Planning also provides structure and purpose for your voyage.

When we meet up with other voyagers, one of the first topics is always “Where

A pair of flexible voyagers in Mexico. have you been and what’s your plan?” Naturally, the answer to the latter is always accompanied by the disclaimer “subject to change with little-to-no notice.” We all laugh with understanding and enjoy the time, however long that might be, that we have together.

Go make a plan and get off the dock. Then revise the plan accordingly, with flexibility and an open attitude.

Enjoy the journey!

Galley Essentials with Amanda As I’ve been plying the northern waters for wee while, I thought I’d turn up the heat a little by taking you on our last passage through the BVIs. We’d entered the Caribbean from Panama and struck out across the Caribbean Sea to Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico, then an overnight visit to St. Croix Marine in the US Virgin Islands. Before lunch, we set sail on a glorious reach for the British Virgin Islands. This was the first serious off-the-wind sailing since leaving Panama and our crew were in a celebratory mood. We arrived at Spanish Town, Virgin Gorda at 1900, just before dark, and promptly devoured a scrummy dinner of grilled fish with salsa and rice to complete an enjoyable day.

Mango Salsa 3 ripe mangoes - peeled and chopped 1 cup chopped red onion 2 jalapenos - deseeded and diced 1 bunch cilantro - diced juice of 2 limes Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

Golden Vegetable Rice 2 cups Jasmine rice 1 onion - chopped 3 cloves garlic - crushed 2 carrots - grated 3 cups chopped West Indian pumpkin (calabaza squash) 10 sprigs thyme ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes 2½ cups chicken stock ½ cup coconut milk 1 tablespoon canola oil salt to taste 2 scallions - finely chopped In a large pot heat oil, add onion and garlic, cook 1 minute.

Add carrot, pumpkin, thyme, and red pepper flakes, cook for 5 minutes. Add rice, stir to coat.

Add stock, coconut milk and salt, bring to a boil then simmer; cover 34

After clearing customs the next morning, we set sail under sunny skies for Gorda Sound at the north end of Virgin Gorda Island. We picked up a mooring ball at Bitter End Yacht Club and went ashore for a long walk on a pathway that snakes up the island’s ridge. There are stunning vistas across the sound and a bird’s eye view of tiny Saba Rock resort and Richard Branson’s

Necker Island. Continuing the trail, we ended up at a secluded white sand beach with rustling palm trees. It’s an easy return to BEYC, which is not a yacht club but vacation resort with a “Pirates of the Caribbean” feel.

It’s a happening place and a cold drink in hand is a must while watching the resort’s activities.

A mooring ball on the outside of Great Dog Island was the perfect next stop: there weren’t any boats, the snorkeling was incredible, and during a passing rain, comical goats clamored down the steep rocky cliff to drink up water that had collected in small rock pools.

It was then on to The Baths and after swimming ashore we had a great time meandering amongst the remarkable jumble of giant granite boulders. The wreck of the Royal Mail Ship Rhone at Salt Island was the afternoon’s snorkel adventure and we all worked up an appetite for a tasty shrimp dinner.

Chile Cashew Shrimp Noodles 8 ounces uncooked rice noodles 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons fish sauce ¼ cup soy sauce ¼ cup hoisin sauce juice of 1 lime 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1 lb. raw shrimp - peeled and deveined 2 cloves garlic - minced 4 red chilies - seeded and chopped 1 red bell pepper - sliced into matchsticks 2 carrots - sliced into matchsticks 2 oz snow peas 1 cup chopped cashews ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro lime wedges for garnish Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles according to directions but leave them with a bit of a bite as they will continue to cook in the sauce. Drain noodles. In a bowl combine next 5 ingredients.

Heat a large sided skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and sear shrimp until cooked, about 2 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from pan. Add remaining oil, garlic, chilies and red pepper, carrots and snow peas; saute 4 minutes. Add cashews, sauce and shrimp; cook 2 minutes. Add noodles and heat 3 minutes. Serve garnished with cilantro and lime wedges. Serves 4.

Road Town is the colorful capital of the BVIs and home to Village Cay Marina & Hotel, where we did a crew change.

Our new crew joined ready to explore and we spent their first night aboard anchored at Peter Island before sailing to Soper’s Hole, a delightful marinavillage with all the amenities including hot bread.

We then made the four-mile crossing to Great Harbour on Jost Van Dyke Island and enjoyed checking out the beach village before a tasty dinner at Foxy’s. Foxy, now in his late 70s, is a West Indian icon, frequently appearing at the BVI booth at boat shows, and it was a treat to have him stop by our table and entertain us with his non-stop jokes and banter. His quintessential beach

shack restaurant and bar is chock-a-block with memorabilia of signed articles of clothing, yacht club flags and number plates, while a dinghy dock, sandy beach with hammocks strung between palm trees, beach-bar-barbecue-joint and gift shop complete the picture.

The Azores was our next destination and the following recipes, inspired by the flavors of the BVIs, were a hit on passage.

Caribbean Spiced Carrots ¾ cup fresh orange or mango juice 1 tablespoon brown sugar ¼ teaspoon fresh grated ginger ¼ teaspoon fresh black pepper 3 cups shredded carrots ¼ cup chopped fresh coriander In a nonreactive sauce pan add juice, sugar, ginger and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook 2 minutes. Add carrots, reduce heat to medium, and cook 4 minutes. Serve hot or cold garnished with coriander.

Serves 6.

Tamarind Chicken 6 chicken pieces ½ cup of tamarind paste

⅓ cup of coconut nectar

(or other low GI sweetener) ½ teaspoon allspice ¼ cup soy sauce 1 tablespoon of coconut oil 2-inch piece of ginger - peeled ¼ cup of chopped tomatoes 5 sprigs of fresh thyme 2 garlic cloves 2 scallions 1 red chili - deseeded and diced ¼ teaspoon salt Prepare marinade by puréeing ingredients together in a blender.

Reserve half of the marinade for glaze/ sauce. Combine remaining marinade with chicken overnight. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the rest.

Place chicken on a roasting tray, roast at 400F for 35 minutes(or electronic grill or barbecue - use accordingly). Frequently baste chicken with juices. Remove from oven and glaze each piece, then serve with the rest of the tamarind as sauce.

Serves 6.

LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford

The Answer Step One: Hard earned success.

Step Two: Transition to simple life.

Step Three: Do you escape self?

There’s a famous story in which a successful banker is relaxing in a Mexican village. The banker pushes a skilled fisherman to work harder for a chance at great financial success. The fisherman asks, “Then what?” The banker replies, “Then you would retire.

You could move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife…”

“Cultural Clash Exposes Fraud” would be a title for the tale dripping with drama that readers want! Instead, many know this story by the title, “The Parable of The Mexican Fisherman and The Investment Banker.”

Must the snake eat its own tail? Or is there a follow-up fable like, “Parable leads to Paradigm Shift: Financier Detours to True Happiness.”

Setting sail on Totem, we thought, meant spending several years being a close family, experiencing un-patterned life together. Mainstream mores don’t support that very well. We wanted

to detour. We’re not particularly adventurous, but like the investment banker, we imagined relaxation and fulfillment through the experience of travel; a different route with interesting people along the way. We wanted to meet the Mexican fisherman, and his wife and children.

We never imagined our detour going so far. We met the fisherman and his family; and thousands more ordinary people getting on with ordinary life. Except coming from a banking society, a fishing society life is anything but ordinary. Consider the small-town guy we met in South Africa, who took a selfie with a great white shark while it was tearing off chunks of flesh from a nearby whale carcass. Then there were Ryan and Nini in Banda, Indonesia, an extraordinary pair who have time and little more. They guided us to a volcano summit, and gave us nutmeg and cinnamon plants to carry on our journey as a remembrance of the spice islands. Definitions of ordinary can be decidedly temporary.

The financial security we earned through hard work in mainstream life eventually dried up. We carried on

anyway. We became the fisherman and stewards of exotic spices. The banker’s spirit began whispering, “yes, the snake always eats itself”. Teenage children have costly needs and interests, even living a simple life. Boat maintenance just...is! And, when you’re in Africa, you go on safari, of course! Like the banker’s suggestion to the fisherman, we tried to turn some of the time our lifestyle affords us into earning money.

It started with just a trickle. A sailmaker can sell sails and a writer can write. When we began receiving frequent emails from people asking how to transition from mainstream life to voyaging, another trickle became clear - coaching! As it turns out, the desire to detour from the bank on the main road is not uncommon, and many are looking for some more detailed directions. Some are in for a sabbatical, others want to test the waters of going full-on fisherman! Retired couples make up the largest portion of cruising population, but there is a fast-growing trend of families that choose to step away from their peak earning years to be a family together.

We love interacting with these sailors and dreamers, who are saying, “I’ve given enough time away to others.” Like us, these people sought to disrupt normal, only to find that it’s very hard to do. Take this email we just got from a coaching client named Todd: “I notified my largest client today that I’d be taking some extended time off starting in August of this year. Wish I could say it felt liberating, but it did take one burden off. It hit me this past weekend that we are two months away from takeoff. That is near go-time.

Time to ramp up the time allocated to the adventure.... As challenging as it is for me to walk away from the most financially and productively rewarding project I’ve worked on, Shelby and especially our girls can use a daddy around for a while.”

Todd works out of town, 70 to 100 hours per week! Shelby, his wife, has a natural wanderlust and traveled around South America before having a family. Todd’s email sounds so conflicted about stepping away that it could be titled, “Throwing It All Away

To Babysit My Family.” It represents a snapshot of how difficult detouring is.

He and Shelby have worked hard for financial security to give their family the best. Todd again: “I dedicated the last 15 years to work and financial pursuits…won and lost…and learned about trying to balance…. What trumps it all is the knowledge that eight years from now, when our kids are out of the house… not taking the time would be the greatest regret.”

It’s hard to take the banker out of the bank (in this case, it’s metaphorical, Todd is an engineer). There are a million valid reasons why voyagers and dreamers can’t leave. Juicy, lifenourishing opportunities are hard to come by for bankers and fisherman alike. Todd and Shelby don’t expect, or want, to stay on the scenic road forever. They want to be a close family, experiencing an un-patterned life together. They want to invest some hard-earned financial security to sail to small coastal fishing villages, sleep late, fish a little, play with their kids, and take siesta, to paraphrase the banker’s response to the fisherman.

It’s a difficult conflict when one aspect of life is going so well because it can mask other aspects in need of attention. The hard work of building financial security often leeches from family time and personal time.

Conversely, cruising leeches money from the bank account.

Many people can’t imagine moving a millimeter towards our lifestyle, and that’s fine. Some bankers will stay bankers and some fisherman will stay fisherman. But, if there is a glimmer of natural wanderlust like Shelby’s, or the awareness to know that fulfillment by personal investment is at least equal to value of financial investment, a detour to a juicy, life-nourishing opportunity can be the right choice!

Whether the course is sailboat cruising or six months driving around North America together, it is our opinion that loss of wealth is more readily replaced than loss of loving opportunity. It will probably ruin your life for the better.

When Behan and I were preparing to cruise, we had a million questions.

The tendency is to worry about the scary stuff like storms, pirates, illness, and homeschooling. Even in a setting

Enjoying some time on the Chesapeake with some soon-to-be detourers! disconnected from 911, those fears can be less scary than the bad driver that cuts you off on your daily commute if you use common sense, do your homework, and take thoughtful precautions.

The real work is transition: choosing the right boat, skill building, telling the boss, storing or selling all the possessions not going on board, preparing to go without overspending, helping family and friends understand

your choice, mail services, vaccinations, and what to do about Fluffy.

If you see the signs, consider exiting onto the scenic road. Though Todd and Shelby have faced challenges and had so many questions, they are leaving Puget Sound in August for an un-patterned adventure on a sailboat called The Answer.

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.

The Best Gadgets On Board

By Becca Guillote

In many ways, cruising keeps life simple. There is a finite amount of space on board (though it seems to be shrinking!) to store everything we own, which encourages us to deny the impulse purchase, think hard about anything big and bulky and purge often. We pay close attention to our electricity use as well, keeping our draw as minimal as possible so the solar panels can do the heavy lifting when it comes to keeping us charged.

But we are most certainly products of the 21st century; however much we try to simplify, our lives are full of electronics and gadgets that we depend on. We use an iPad as our primary chart plotter, we both have smart phones, and we can choose among our GoPro, underwater camera or Nikon DSLR to capture moments.

Some gadgets are significantly more adept at boat life than others. iPhone cords, for example, are not.

In our attempt to keep three iDevices charged in this wet salty environment, we kill an average of 1 charging cable per month and have already replaced one phone’s internal charging port. It has become troubling enough that we are considering alternative hard-wired chart plotting options.

So which devices make the cut? To keep up with us in this salty sandy life, a gadget has to be small and compact, extremely durable, waterproof if it ever goes outside, and – with a few exceptions - wireless with rechargeable batteries (so we can strategically charge it when the sun is out and generating electricity).

The Vesper, handy for data collection and AIS. 38

Vesper First up is the Vesper, which is on the list at Halcyon’s recommendation. This is really her favorite gadget. When we discovered the Vesper Watchmate XB-8000, we were looking for a solution to move the data collected on our NMEA 2000 devices onto our iPad chart plotter. The Vesper is a sleek little blue box that moves that data wirelessly and seamlessly. In addition to viewing our position, speed, July 2017

www.48North.com

heading and course on the iPad, we can use the app on our phones to set an anchor alarm and check on wind speed and depth without getting out of bed.

But there is so much more packed into this little blue box of fun! It has its own GPS, is waterproof, barely consumes any electricity and was easy to install. It also transmits and receives AIS data. Before we left, transmitting AIS was not a priority of ours. Now, we can’t imagine life without it. Having this feature means we show up as a little triangle on the charts of nearby ships with our vessel’s information, including boat name, heading, speed, destination and call sign. It is easy to determine how two ships might cross, and so much more effective to be able to hail a ship by name. Our friends and family can also track us on one of several AIS tracking websites, which gives them piece of mind and/or something to do when they are bored at work.

The Boom This is not the horizontally mounted metal tube that holds our mainsail (and hammock), though that boom is also very important. This Boom is, in our opinion, the very best waterproof portable speaker that pesos can buy (we have the UE Boom 2). It keeps us dancing at the beach party, plays tunes when we paddleboard, and projects movie sounds through our little vee-berth like it’s a theater.

We consume an enormous amount of music (and movies), so quality sound is a requirement no matter where we are. The very first project we did when we bought Halcyon, in fact, was to install outdoor speakers the previous owner had left for us, still in the box. So our very first project required drilling two 3-inch holes in the cockpit –which was terrifying- so we could play music outside.

The Boom goes everywhere with us. It is completely waterproof, as well as dustproof, shockproof, sandproof and idiotproof. It charges on a USB and holds its charge for a good long time. If a friend has a Boom, the two will tether to create some fantastic surround sound. It’s easy to connect and makes fun sounds while it’s pairing to your device.

when I say “oily”; we have a 40 year old Westerbeke that sweats oil all day long). When I found it, I wiped it down with a rag, clicked “on”, and nodded my head in amazement as it lit up through the tenacious film of engine oil coating the surface.

UCO Lantern We spend an inordinate amount of time wiggling out of strange boatyoga poses, folded into very small and dark spaces, and peering into the back of dark damp cabinets. That is just what boat work is all about! The right amount of light is critical for quality work in these merciless spots.

While headlamps are great, we actually haven’t found one that keeps pace with our life, and their beam is often restrictively narrow.

So instead, we grab UCO’s LED lanterns (we have some older models, most similar to the Clarus 2) when it’s project time. We have a handful of these on board (at any given time, I can usually find 2...) stashed in prime grabbag locations. The beam is nice and bright when we need direct light, but what I really love is sliding the housing up to the “lantern” setting and lighting up the whole engine room or cabinet or back bottom corner of the lazarette, or wherever else I may find myself crouched. The light has a clever split hook on the top that makes it hard to find a place it won’t hang easily.

This gadget sets the bar for durability. We dropped one in the oily bilge water under our engine for several months (I’m not kidding

Kindle, coupled with a Pelican Case The Kindle has changed the cruising experience (we have Kindle Paperwhites). Instead of shelves and stacks of physical books that take up space, absorb water and offer cheap rent to unwelcome critters, we each have a compact little device that holds thousands of books and lasts months on a single charge. For me, the magnetic ink offers a much better reading experience than a backlit screen and the wireless connection makes it easy to borrow e-books from the library to read later whenever I have internet.

The downside of the Kindle, of course, is its fragility in the face of the elements. It is not waterproof or durable enough to be thrown around like our lanterns and boom speaker.

Knowing our lifestyle beats up fragile gadgets, we have found appropriate protection. Enter: a slim waterproof Pelican Case. We each have a case, which will fit either a Kindle and a phone or two Kindles. With the case, our Kindles are dry and safe and happy (until we are reading on watch in a rainstorm of course).

Magic Bullet There are so many gadgets in the galley that make life better, but one stands out, without a doubt, above the rest: our Magic Bullet. John brought this gadget with him into our relationship,

Becca reads on the Kindle while listening to music on the UE Boom speaker. which means he has had it least 11 years, possibly more like 16. It has moved kitchens at least 8 times. Now and for the last 6 years, it is at home behind the stove, between the French press and the extra kitchen towels.

It is like a blender, but better, because it takes up a fraction of the space and is more versatile. We keep a stash of variously sized cups so we are ready for anything: the extra big one when John’s making smoothies, the little one to freshly grind our day’s coffee beans. I use this magical machine to make hummus, grind almonds to flour, and dice fresh basil. Recently, the magic bullet turned out the best chimichurri sauce imaginable.

This gadget does break one cardinal rule- it requires AC power.

But that powerful little motor doesn’t require electricity for very long at all to turn a frozen banana and some milk and peanut butter into a dazzling smoothie, so I’ll let it slide.

Convert to a

H Low-Friction Mainsail Hoist System

By Alex and Jack Wilken Getting the mainsail up and down is one of the most important aspects of sailing, and yet it can be one of the most challenging, too. Often, it requires a crewmember to go forward to help raise and lower the main. This can be difficult at the best of times; and when you are short-handed in heavy weather, it can be dangerous.

Often, the cause of the difficulty is friction. Friction might come in

Figure 1: “A” is a headboard slide. “B” is a sewn webbing attachment. “C” is a batten attachment. “D” is a jackline attachment to allow the reef point to reach the gooseneck, and “E” is an end cap and pin.

multiple areas, but part of the problem is likely to be friction from the sail slides in the mast track. Full-batten mainsails are becoming more prevalent and they increase friction, adding to the problem, though they have also been a catalyst for solutions.

To alleviate the friction, the mainsail track needs to be made slipperier, but don’t go just shoving a bunch of grease in your mast slot! Fortunately, there are a number of slick ways to effectively reduce friction. The solutions range from low friction slides and cars designed to work with the existing mast track, to ones that need their own tracks. The new tracks come in two basic flavors: polymer and aluminum. In this article, we will go over the advantages and disadvantages of each as well as the basics and considerations of how to install them.

Luff Attachments: There are two basic methods for holding the sail to the mast on modern sailboats: bolt rope or slides.

The bolt rope is normally fitted into a groove extruded into the mast (mast slot), and the slides are either fitted into the same grove or use their own track attached to the mast. The bolt rope is almost inherently a twoperson job and makes raising and lowering the mainsail a task with few options for reducing friction.

The good news for friction reduction is that fewer and fewer modern cruising boats will utilize a bolt rope luff attachment.

The increasingly popular luff attachment that utilizes slides allows you to stack the sail on the boom without detaching it from the mast.

Slides can be designed and made from materials that reduce friction.

This can be the cheapest friction July 2017

www.48North.com

reducing upgrade: either moving from bolt rope to sail slides or swapping existing slides for lower friction ones can cost no more than the cost of the slides, plus the labor to attach them to the sail.

The rub is that this method is only as good as your existing mast track.

Older masts can have pitting from corrosion or other damage which, though not structural to the mast, can make certain slide systems unworkable.

One mast we worked on was moved and left unsupported in the middle of a boatyard, which caused a distortion at the joint in two mast sections and made it impossible to raise and lower the main without it catching.

The other important consideration in luff attachment is how the slides or cars are affixed to the main itself. Being able to remove the sail from the slides/ cars without removing them from the track can be handy.

Tracks: There are a couple varieties of track that might be used with slides. Some masts will have the slide inside the mast slot where a boat rope once went, but many more of the low-friction style tracks are attached to the mast and externally accommodate sail slides or cars. If you can find a good slide that can use your existing slot, it may be enough to make raising and lowering the main manageable. If not, you can install a new track with slides/cars specifically made to work together.

A polymer track (Figure 1) has the advantages of being cheaper, lighter, and is easier to install since it comes in continuous lengths of up to 65 feet.

It is limited in that it cannot use cars with roller bearings as they will wear a grove into the track over time, and it is not strong enough for larger mainsails.

Check with the manufacturer, but a 65 foot mast is about the upper limit for this track, with sail area being the important variable.

Aluminum track has the advantages of being able to handle larger sails and use roller bearing cars for maximum friction reduction.

Unfortunately, it’s more expensive, heavier, and comes in shorter lengths of 7 to 18 feet (depending on the manufacturer) that can’t be installed from deck level with the mast up.

Figure 2 (left): “A” is a headboard roller bearing car, “B” is a batten roller bearing car, “C” is a sail track slide.

Figure 3 (right): A switch track for cars to reduce stack height.

Slides/Cars: Sail slides can fit into a slot or over a track (Figures 1 & 2). They can be made out of plastic, stainless steel, or aluminum. Stainless steel is probably the best, as it is hard, resists wear, and can be polished to a mirror finish so as to reduce wear on the track it is riding on. It works best on a polymer track for wear and friction reduction.

Sail-track cars use roller bearings to reduce friction (Figure 2). The best bearings at this point seem to be Torlon.

Captive bearings allow the cars to be easily removed from the track without chasing the bearings all over the deck.

Because they need to house the ball bearings, the cars are much bulkier than slides. Bigger ball bearings deal with dirt and debris better, but the bigger the bearing, the bigger and heavier the car. The goal is to reduce friction to the point where you are simply lifting the weight of the sail when raising it, and it falls out of the sky when you let go of the halyard; or as close to this as can reasonably be achieved while not adding much weight aloft and keeping the system simple.

Since slides are lighter and simpler,

Figure 4: If you were to order a machined polymer mast track, the manufacturer would send guides like this to phyically measure your sail slot for a good fit. while the cars reduce friction more, it is possible to seek the middle ground solution by using a combination of cars at the high load points (like the headboard and batten attachments), while using slides in other places for weight and cost reduction. If you do decide to go with all cars, Harken has a unique mainsail track option called a

Switch Track (Figure 3, page 41). This system helps reduce stack height by having the cars stacking on alternative sides.

Installation: Attaching the slides or cars to the sail can be done in a variety of ways depending on manufacturer and your

What would sailing be without the essential tool of the mainsail? As with all tools, the easier the tool works, the better we will feel about using it. Reducing friction will make all aspects of mainsail use easier and more enjoyable.

needs (Figure 1).

Attaching a new track has two basic installations. A polymer track can be machined to slide into or over an existing slot or track (Figure 4), or tapped and screwed into the mast.

Polymer track comes rolled up and ready to go, machined to the profile, and cut to the length you have requested to fit your mast. If you have enough clearance, you do not have to remove the boom. Start feeding the track up the mast unrolling it as you go.

Once it is up and adjusted to the right height, all you need to do is put one screw through the track into the mast to hold it in place. Track manufacturers specify a self-tapping screw; we have always drilled and tapped for a machine screw. It really can be as easy as that.

When we finished installing one of these tracks for the first time, we looked at each other and said, “Is that it? That was so easy. Nothing on a boat is ever that easy.” We used this same track to solve the problem with the mast we mentioned above that was distorted at the mast joint so that the slides jammed.

Now, with the new polymer track and slides installed, that mainsail can be pulled up by hand to the top and when the halyard is released it simply falls from the sky. It is probably advisable to have the line around a winch to control the descent when no friction is holding the sail aloft.

An aluminum track can be held to the mast with slugs that fit into the mast slot and take a screw through the track. Or, simply tap and screw the new aluminum track to the mast. For aluminum tracks, you will need to go up the mast, or take the mast down, as each section needs to be tightened in place.

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

Walk the beach in your favorite anchorage and you’re likely to come across these little pointy-shelled crabs.

Poke around in washed up kelp or around rocks at low tide, they’re easy to spot. Handle them carefully – nipper claws await your fingers. At four inches across, they’re not large compared to our Dungeness or red rock crabs, but I find that these palm-sized crabs are interesting to watch as they scavenge their little worlds. In the summer, kelp crabs are herbivores and will apparently eat anything, nipping off bits of eel grass, algae, and kelp. In the winter months when eelgrass and kelp die away, they turn to eating barnacles, small mussels, and smaller creatures.

This ability to change-up a diet seasonally is an ecological advantage.

Kelp crabs look somewhat like spiders with their long and spindly legs, so it’s no surprise they belong to a group of crabs called spider crabs. These long legs aid in climbing aquatic plants, moving around with ease through eel grass and kelp beds. Females carry their eggs outside the shell, tucked tightly around the lower area in a sticky wad – reportedly as many as 84,000 of them! I’d imagine a dissertation-driven student counting all 84,000 to come up with that number, but it’s impressive for a four-inch creature. Heck, my mom lacked patience with just one.

Females carry these bright-orange eggs through most of the year, but in summer they disappear, probably moving to deep water with less current where they hatch into tiny larvae and swim free as they grow into adults.

Race to Alaska

R2AK Winners:

Team Pure & Wild/Freeburd Tripp, Chris, and Trevor Burd 48° North Interview 48° North: First off, congratulations! It seems that every year, the turning point in R2AK is Seymour Narrows, and I know you guys had an extraordinary experience of it.

Tripp Burd: We had an extremely exciting and memorable passage through Seymour Narrows in the darkest dark you can imagine and nearly max current. About Campbell River, the current started building in a fading breeze. The current was so strong we were tacking through only 30 degrees. As we approached the Narrows, Chris and I remembered our passage two years ago and we began to get fully prepared: hatch boards in, Ocean Rodeo suits, Deckvests, headlamps, and safety gear all on. We hoped we were prepared for whatever might come.

Soon the only wind was the apparent wind caused by the current moving us at a peak speed of 12 knots!

We barely had any steerage and we were being pushed and pulled around by the current and eddies. As we entered the gut of the Narrows, we could hear but not see breaking waves all around us. Here we go, we thought!

44

We were most amazed to find it was not waves at all, but a huge school of 30-40 porpoises traveling with us.

Our passage proved to be, thankfully, uneventful other than this incredible experience. The porpoises followed us and frolicked in our bow waves for the next 10 miles, tacking with us. We were sad to see them go.

Tell us about the race after Seymour.

Trevor Burd (TB): Johnstone Strait was pretty straight forward upwind sailing. Mentally, I broke the whole race into four parts: a long pedal (1618 hours total), then a big northerly upwind blow, then for a while it was more mellow but windy enough to go fast, then the last part was the transition to big conditions and windy downwind sailing.

Chris Burd (CB): All of the spots that are usually nasty in the straits just weren’t bad. It was pretty breezy on the nose, but it was very managable.

The chop never kicked up, which was awesome, and we were able to go pretty quick through there.

TB: I kept thinking that these guys July 2017

www.48North.com

had been bullshitting me about how nasty the race was going to be. They had me prepared for the gnarliest thing ever, and it was just easy and flat and fun, at least at that point.

The really cool thing was knowing that Big Broderna and Bad Kitty were right behind us duking it out.

You have a ton of competitive sailing experience, so did you feel that turn on in those moments when “Broderna” got closer?

CB: Those guys are great and pushed us super hard. Every time we felt like we had legged out, we would hit a light spot and then they would come rumbling in with 15 knots of breeze and close the distance really quickly. In the last 24 hours, getting close to Dixon Entrance and coming across, we became really aware of where Broderna was, we saw them coming over the horizon. From there it was hammer down and became a match race for the last 70 miles.

TB: For a long time, I think they had the advantage because they know their boat so well, what it can take and how hard they can push. And we didn’t at all.

We had one pretty good wipeout coming across Dixon Entrance; smashed into the back of a wave, Code Zero fully luffing, and just had to spin out. Tripp was sleeping in the back of the boat and he got fired forward. The boat did a full round up. After that, we backed off a bit, and they just kept charging, hammering after us with spinnaker up and full main. I don’t know how they were doing it because we would have been under water if we did that. So, for a long time, they really had an edge and were really pressing hard to get after us.

Towards the end, when we were only boat lengths apart, that’s where our competitive juices really started flowing and we were sailing the boat as hard as we would around a buoy course.

Did that turn up the fun or anxiety?

CB: It was awesome! It’s crazy to have gone for so many days, gone through a whole breadth of conditions from pedaling in nothing to just full-on getting beaten up. Literally thousands of tiny decisions come together and all of a sudden we’re boat on boat.

When it came right down to it and it got so close, what was the key to the victory?

TB: Personally, I was really happy with how we kept the boat moving well when it got light. We pushed hard and got right on the pedals.

So, you separated more in the light than when it was heavy?

TB: Well, we got reeled in when it got breezy, so apparently yeah...

CB: A lot of our strategy in the front half of the race was trying to make it through the Seymour Narrows window as soon as possible. Because of that, we set the mentality that the second it goes light, we’re going to work our asses off and try to leg out as much as we can. In the first half of the race, that definitely worked. The other guys just snuck through the tide window with literally minutes to spare.

TB: We might have thought that we’d be quicker with a little more breeze. But, the conditions were all or nothing, it was either very light or very windy. In the very breezy stuff, they knew their boat so well and sent it super hard. Their boat is also a little more of a battleship than our boat heavier, bigger, a little more brawny.

When it was really full-on, they had more than we could give. It could have just been them pushing hard, or it could have been the boat.

I think these two boats rate the same. It’s so cool we finished within fractions of a percent of each other.

In Port Townsend, we talked about how you had a lot to learn about the boat.

Can you elaborate on your learning curve?

TB: We learned a lot about the different sails we had on board. Some of them we had never even had up. Our Code Zero was an absolute weapon. It was cool to keep trying to use that sail in different situations and discover, ‘oh that works well for this,’ and ‘it works well for that too.’ In light air we would motor-sail with it and rumble along.

We also used it going downwind in 35 knots, basically using it as our chicken kite. It was definitely our workhorse so versatile and easy. You don’t want to have to think too hard, you just want to go fast. That sail let us do that.

The Code Zero might have been a little dangerous downwind. We’d go fast enough that the apparent wind

would really get rippin’ and the boat would get a little larry.

CB: We learned that the amas were even more forgiving than we expected. That gave us the room to learn the boat and feel it out without getting ourselves into too much trouble.

TB: You could really push it and the boat would say, “No, that’s fine, I’ll take some more.”

CB: We ended up using the running backs a bit more than The Burd Brothers shown here ringing the we’d anticipated. I don’t know bell as the first sailboat to finish Leg One. They that we really needed them, won the overall in Ketchikan, beating Anacortesbut going downwind with a based “Big Broderna” by only six minutes. couple of reefs in and the Code Zero up, we stuffed the bow a couple of times. As a safety margin, we maybe it’s a little bit windy.’ And by the were glad they were up, and there’s no time we were around Price Island, we had our main up only six or eight feet, reason not to have them on. lashed down with sail ties, and storm So Trevor, this being your first R2AK, jib up. We were just getting thrashed downwind. what did you think of this whole thing?

That was our realization of trying TB: It’s cool that it’s so different than anything else. At the end of the to find the balance between inside and day, everyone is pushing really hard, outside. From there on, that was the and everyone’s there for each other. game we were playing, how far in do You’re on the dock at the finish and we go vs. how far out? you’re watching the tracker and going Can you describe those conditions and on about how Ketch Me if You Can and West Coast Wild Ones are duking it out what was the experience like on board?

TB: It was the biggest waves I’ve halfway up the course. They’re three days behind and their battle is just as ever seen, for sure, I think that any of engaging. And they’re in such different us had ever seen. I would say 15-20’ boats; I love it! There are so many waves; just monster waves, and kind of steep and short. The boat handled different facets to the race. it pretty well. We were getting pushed around a bit, but never felt unsafe. It What was it like going up the coast?

CB: We went slightly outside for was like that for an hour or two, and the first bit and then dipped in one we traded off driving to try to stay passage early before Bella Bella. We fresh. Then we started getting a little were looking at the forecast it looked more confident and started putting like it was supposed to get blowing some more sail up.

With the way the currents were running, and if it really was that Island and we went into the strait by windy, it would be just as fast to go up Aristazabal Island, that’s when it got the inside in flatter water. I think that flat and windy and we started really proved to be true and we were happy leaning on the boat. We were doing 20 knots for a while. with that decision.

I think the decision to go outside Right after Bella Bella we went outside of Price Island. We had seen of Price Island affected the way we the forecast and what the meters were sailed the rest of the race. We got a reading, and it was supposed to be little intimidated and a little scared by pretty full-on out there. We poked that, and when we saw forecasts of 40our nose out after putting in all of our 60 knots later, we didn’t want to take reefs and the tiny jib on. We started out those risks. We saw how bad it could thinking, ‘Oh, this isn’t bad.’ Then we be, and we were ready to take the more went a little further and thought, ‘Ok, conservative route after that. www.48North.com

Tell us about your highs and lows with morale and performance.

TB: It was a different feeling when it was super light, it was like, ‘I can’t believe we have another six hundred miles of this...we’re never going to get there!’ That was a different feeling than when it was really breezy knowing that there are boats coming up from behind and we might not be able to match that.

Both were pretty discouraging, but very different.

CB: We weren’t quite sure what was going to come with the weather after we’d been out in the big breeze and waves. A big rain squall came through, and we were trying to shorten sail quickly, and it was a tough spot trying to decide what we wanted to do.

We all wanted to keep racing hard, but we didn’t want to do anything stupid.

To find that line and walk it, that was challenging.

Were there moments of wildlife or geography that you appreciated most?

TB: Seymour with the dolphins was amazing. The big mountains down south are cool, but getting a little further north as it gets more remote and

you’re able to look around and not see a single trace of humanity... I liked that.

There was one time when we were going through some rainstorms; the sun was out at certain moments; a pod of whales was on the horizon. The sun would shine, lighting up these silver rivers of rain against these big gray mountains... I don’t even know where it was, but totally in the middle of nowhere midway through the race. It was pretty special.

CB: For me, it was strange how familiar a lot of it felt, because it is such an immense race course. There is a point most of the way down Johnstone Strait, one particular bend, I remember seeing it the first time, and again this time, it totally blows my mind looking to the mountains on Vancouver Island.

We also had a humpback whale breach maybe ten yards from us and then swim along side the boat, maybe ten feet away.

TB: At first I thought it was a rock in front of us, I was like, “Uh, guys, do I need to turn?”

With the conditions you had this year, could you have won the race on the ARC 22?

CB: For the majority of this race, we would have been crazy fast in that boat. The exception would be when we went out around Price Island, we would have exploded, but we probably wouldn’t have gone that way. Likewise, going across Dixon Entrance would have been pretty hairy, and there’s not really another way to go. That boat has a bigger rig than our boat this year and is a 22’ beach cat.

Have you three sailed together before?

CB: Never! We had been cruising as a family, but we’ve never raced together.

TB: I thought it was interesting the way we all fell into certain roles. Tripp spent a lot of time driving, and I spent a lot of time trimming, and Chris was kicking ass putting up whatever sails we wanted him to on the bow. If I had to say the things that we’re best at on the boat, that’s what it would be. Chris has spent a lot of time on the bow of big boats, I trim sails for a living, and Tripp has spent a lot of time sailing cats and making them go fast. It’s just cool to see how well it flowed.

e have been writing a journal during our 2017 Race to Alaska as a part of Team West Coast Wild Ones. We just finished this morning; it feels good to be back on land! Here’s a snippet of our awesome R2AK experience: Victoria to Campbell River was rather uneventful for us, just small battles with currents and some mixed up seas and wind directions.

The last leg through the Georgia Strait to Campbell River was an easy cruise, running down with our spinnaker, trying to time the ebb at Discovery Passage and make the turn at Seymour. Surfing into Discovery Channel, a knot failed on our spinnaker sheet as a camera crew motored up to catch us “with our pants down.”

Slowly, we made it past Campbell River against the max flood, neck and neck with Away Team and The Adventourists. Most teams went into port to wait for the 0900 slack tide at Seymour Narrows. We were committed to 2100 with the backup plan of anchoring nearby. A kayaker tried relentlessly to coax us into staying back, even offering free food and shelter, and saying we were insane to attempt the Narrows without an engine.

Continuing on our way, a motorboat pulled alongside knowing a bit about the race. He was friends of a solo R2AK racer and encouraged us, explaining that the Narrows would be fine to pass through, making it seem too easy. We were wary of going through, with 9 knot currents and no wind for steerage, but we donned our dry suits for the first time at 2230, lashed the lockers, slid the hatch boards in and tethered ourselves, expecting the worst. With one person on the helm and a SUP paddle on either side, we rafted through narrows, forward and back paddling to keep the boat straight.

We made it out! Then, we sailed the northwesterlies for a few hours before rowing throughout the night and early morning until the sweet old southeasterlies came back.

From genoa to spinnaker to asymmetrical, we cruised down Johnstone Strait, dodging the chatty fishing boats and sailing past Telegraph Cove to wave at our Van Isle 360 friends who were jumping up and down on the dock cheering us on.

While other racers began falling off

By Keanna Carol and Rebecca McCleery into safe harbour, seeking shelter for the night and gale that was forecasted for morning, we began looking at our options.

Monitoring the weather stations at Herbert Island, Pine Island, and Egg Island, we tracked pressure trends, wave heights, and current wind speeds.

We watched carefully while looking at safe options on the other side of the Queen Charlotte Strait.

It wasn’t so much the wind that cautioned us from continuing across Queen Charlotte, but the possibility of us having to run before the big, building seas. The thought of pitch polling and rolling stayed on our minds. Having a drogue onboard and being prepared wasn’t enough for all four crew to agree, we wanted to make a sound decision based on all factors. As we followed the forecast, we determined we had enough time to cross Queen Charlotte Sound, round Cape Caution and enter Fitz Hugh Sound riding the southeasterlies to Bella Bella.

If we didn’t take this window, we’d be waiting out the gale forecasted to last until the following afternoon.

Then we’d be battling mixed seas and eventually the standard northwesterlies that typically run our coast. www.48North.com

July 2017

The crossing to the mainland went smoothly, aiming at Shelter Cove as our backup plan. We ripped across in two hours under full main and a large genoa in 15-20 knot wind conditions and slowly building seas. As we neared shore, the wind started to pick up, as did the seas. We went down to our #4 jib and continued on, surfing down big waves and cruising at 7-8 knots.

The coast line was a mine field, littered with rocks. We had our paper charts out, plotting our position at least every hour. Navigation was tricky, as the safest course ran straight down wind and we wanted to gybe as little as possible.

As we rounded Cape Caution, the wind started to really blow. We were down to a double-reefed main and were battling the tiller. Eventually the whole main came down, and under a small #4 jib alone, we continued to sail surfing waves at 9-10 knots!

The sky began to lighten as morning came. By 0400, we were in Fitz Hugh Sound with the main back up and gently cruising in slowly dying wind. The calm after the storm?

S

wiftsure International Yacht Race is more of an experience than just a race. Thanks to the brilliance and hard work of Charlotte Gann and Vern Burkhardt, it has been growing and changing with the times, better than ever. It’s an epic adventure and a rite of spring. Getting there and getting home are among the best parts in my experience. Whether you deliver the boat for a tour of the Puget Sound, or take a float plane into the Inner Harbor, take a ferry ride through the San Juan or Gulf Islands, tour the magnificent Olympic Peninsula, or race the Oregon Offshore up the coast, it’s pretty hard to complain about the trip. In all my years of motoring from Anacortes, I’ve never missed seeing the local Orca pod at Cattle Point one way or another.

Once you’re in Victoria, this race is among the very few sailing events where every competitor is packed into the same harbor with no other boats allowed. Race boats are all squeezed in and rafted together, with battle flags hoisted and stereos playing.

Racers wander and mingle, with the Empress and Parliament building as a backdrop. Buskers like Plaster Man, Copper Cowgirl, Violin Vader entertained, and there’s any food or drink conceivable at the ready. If you’re feeling especially festive, it’s always fun to cap off Friday night with a trip to Big Bad John’s.

This year, a big ebb was predicted for Saturday morning, and not much wind until the afternoon. In a perfect world, the two would exchange in unison. For the most part, that’s how

it all went down. There were two firsts this year: The shorter course boats started first to give the slower boats a better shot at the ebb while it lasted, and Nightrunner sat out the race for the very first time in history.

Doug Fryer, you were missed!

Swiftsure tactics can be divided into three distinct sections. The battle to Race Rocks is a race within itself.

However it all washes out in the end, you want to lead the way to Race Rocks because you still know where your competition is and you’re all going to the same place. It’s a buoy race!

After Race Passage, it’s a navigator ’s race. The dice are tossed, and generally in a planned, calculated way. The usual tactic is to stick close to Canada until Sheringham, and this

year was no exception in preliminary game plan. With a huge flood tide predicted, some boats jumped early and tried cross over to America while the tide was still in favor, with Smoke being a clear leader in the movement.

A couple boats stuck out the entire flood on the Canadian shore, and everyone else played it somewhere in between. I believe that New Haven never actually crossed the Strait.

In times of question, you reflect on the wisdom of sailing friends. At Race Rocks with far more current

make the turn. There were fewer of them and the boats were spread out across the map. The first Juan de Fuca racers made the turn in Clallam Bay at about 8:00, led by BOOH, Final Dash and the Muffin. Only a couple hardy double handers made it through the race, with congratulations going to Evermoore and Dilligaf!

If the section to Race Rocks is a buoy race and the section to the turn is a navigator ’s race, the night time run home is a whole different beast as well. Fatigue, darkness, and tankers all play into the final leg. We rounded in about 15 knots true wind and opted for the A-4 to reach back across to Canada.

Next, when opting for the less traveled path to Neah Bay, we relied on the wisdom of Ian Beswick, “it isn’t a flyer if you’re right!” By the time we arrived at Cape Flattery, the fog had rolled in, the hazy sun was setting, and it turned out that hitting either shore was okay! Sticking with one side or the other early on was better than crossing in the flood.

Powered by nerves of steel and a three pound bag of Sour Patch

Seattle Yacht Club

Blake Island Race lake Island Race is the last of the B Tri-Island Series. This year we saw the spectrum of wind conditions giving us an interesting day on the water, we even had sunshine on the dock for the awards.

The race started in a light southerly. On Jedi, we were solidly in our new Number 1, which we had been anxious to try out. It turned out we would get to use it during the majority of the Blake Island Race.

From most of the weather forecasting we saw, everything was indicating it was going to be light. We decided to leave our Number 3 on the dock for the day thinking we would not need it. We knew we would be starting in a dying southerly and finish on a building northerly but never expected for it to exceed that 15 knot mark.

After the start, we found ourselves on starboard tack heading for the Shilshole breakwater. Looking up the course, we decided that the breeze looked light from the southern part of the Shilshole breakwater to West Point. Since Jedi was in ORC 2 and competing with the guys in ORC 1, we feared having a shorter rig would affect us too much in the wind shadow of West Point, we wanted to avoid the situation and tacked out early to the center of the Sound. As we rounded West Point, we found ourselves with a touch of easterly. The easterly lifted the fleet towards Blake Island. At this point we could still clearly see the leeches of the big boys in front of us and the Ker 46, New Haven, to windward and aft. Off our leeward hip was the 1D35, Javelin, and the Lyman Morse 40, Grey Wolf, with wheels closer to the western shore showing the better breeze.

South of Restoration Point, the transition zone become evident to us. The northerly was struggling to fill on the leeward side of Magnolia.

A wall of spinnakers brought the filling breeze with them and we started hoping for a quick transition.

While we were zepher hopping and 52

keeping the boat moving, we saw the northerly fill in strong and quick from the Bainbridge shore. As the southerly died, the northerly filled and we put up our Light A2 and we were pointing directly at Blake Island.

Now we approached the moment every tactician dreads in a race similar to this. Stick with the plan and leave the island to starboard or call a flyer.

Watching the fleet behind us, it looked as though half the boats were setting up for a starboard rounding. All the information we looked at prior to the race was telling us starboard, but a port rounding looked nice due to steady breeze. Wisely, we stuck with the plan and left the island to starboard.

Sailing around Blake Island the breeze filled and we changed back into our Number 1 headsail and rounded without a hitch. After leaving Blake Island behind, the breeze started to build. We found ourselves going into a headsail change before tacking to port and laying the buoy off Restoration Point, where we wanted to cross to Magnolia. Once again, the reliable bow team went to work and we seamlessly switched to our Number 2 as we tacked over on our layline to cross the Sound.

The breeze settled a little, but we had our fingers crossed that the breeze wouldn’t build too much since the Number 3 was sitting on the dock.

The Number 2 was great in the lulls, but we found ourselves out of its range in the puffs. We tacked over on the layline for the temporary mark.

We rounded the mark and set our A4 for the downwind finish.

In ORC 1 Lou Bianco’s Crossfire took first, followed by Smoke in second and Glory in third. ORC 2 only had two boats with John and Edie Tenneson’s J/145 Jedi taking first and the Ker 46 New Haven in second.

However, in ORC overall, Jedi came up with the win, followed by Crossfire then Smoke.

We also did not count on the J/24 Nationals to be held in Seattle the week before

our races, ergo low wind and low turnout. In the end, 11 boats, made up primarily of local participants, sailed six races under cloudless skies and temperatures in the mid 80s.

Spinnakers prevailed on the course as winds were between zero and seven knots per hour over the two days.

Sloop Tavern Yacht Club

3 Buoy Fiasco

F

orty-eight boats signed up for Sloop Tavern Yacht Club’s 3 Buoy Fiasco race. It really was anyone’s guess on how the day would end up.

A race where skippers get to choose either a north or south start and which direction to go around buoys really does add excitement and unexpected twists. The first start was at 10:00 am and the winds were light and from the south - in 7-9 knots of wind - enough to get most of the skippers to decide to choose a southern (upwind) start.

With a flood at the start and switching to a ebb in the afternoon, winds were slated to die later in the afternoon. It really did seem like it was the best choice. However, a few boats decided to start north…and with great success!

Blue Lullaby took first in their class, and the International Folkboat, Aquivit, took first after bucking the trend of the rest of the pack with a northerly start. Another north starter was Charlotte, who also won the Best Overall Trophy for this race as well as first place in their class. Bat Out of Hell won first in the fast boat division and had crew onboard who had to zoom back to North Idaho after this race for another regatta. Dedicated sailors indeed! Shada, Nor’wester, Here & Now, and Roshambo all round out the remainder of Saturday’s winners.

There were lots of happy sailors who were grateful for the committee boat’s efforts as well. Thanks goes out to the event’s PRO, Tim Divine, and the skipper of Kinetics, Brad Greene.

The after-party was held in front of the Sail Northwest building and STYC would like to thank them for their hospitality. We’re not sure if the rowdy crowd was good for business, but we like to think so. Who wouldn’t want to become a sailor after seeing a party like that? The weather held up until the very end, but by then, the hot dogs and kegs of Stoup Brewery beer were gone. Imagine that….the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club actually ran out of beer! The day did indeed end with an unexpected twist after all!

Classic Mariners’ Regatta

P

ort Townsend is the global hub of wooden boat building, repair, and restoration. Most owners here are builders who take great pride in their machines. The marina is filled with old designs and one-offs in pristine condition.

The Classic Mariners’ Regatta caters to these boats. There are no modern raceboats, where the deepest pockets tend to dictate the order of finish.

During the kickoff party I was thrown a curveball: the Thunderbirds needed more boats to form a class. My usual ride, Sparkle, had enough crew.

I had the keys to the T-Bird Tzieu! Her owner was out of town.

I just needed crew. Pajo Gazibara, fresh off Swiftsure in his soon-tocircumnavigate Ericson 35, Cinderella, and Rhys Balmer, whose journey through last year ’s double-handed Pac Cup on the Moore 24, Evermoore, I’d followed, signed on. In 30 minutes, I transformed from a trimmer to a skipper with a rockstar crew.

I had infinitely more T-Bird experience than the crew: I sailed one once. Port Townsend has a fleet of about 13 boats. Two ringers, Boreas and Thatuna were participating, with Knot Raven and Tzieu! as last minute entries.

We started on a different board and were left behind. We marveled at the new sails on Boreas and Thatuna.

We knew something was wrong when we were running alongside Knot Raven 56

with a spinnaker against her wing on wing, unable to pass.

We finished dead last. As we crossed, the committee yelled, “ Yo u ’ re d r a g g i n g something behind your rudder!”

I looked and dropped my jaw.

We towed the outboard well cover, presumably all race.

We set off for race two with it installed correctly.

During the start sequence, I overheard other boats asking, “Who’s driving Tzieu!? Is Scott onboard?” “Can you believe people just leave these unlocked?” I asked the wind.

The fleet crept away from us once more, and by lap two we were last again. We took advantage of “the luxury of last.” The three leading T-Birds went north, with a plan to reach west to the second lap mark.

The western bay had more breeze by this point, so we headed west then north. It was risky, but when you’re last: luxury.

Two things became clear. No one would catch the leader Boreas. And our gamble worked! - we were ahead of Thatuna and Knot Raven. We held our lead and took second.

That evening Pajo headed back to Seattle. Rhys and I returned to the Maritime Center for the best post-race dinner I’ve eaten. The crew of Windsong shared stories of dismastings and wit in the face of danger.

I heard a surprising number of stories about drying weed on sailboats. I was happy to meet sailors with similar sensibilities.

With Pajo out we were down to two for the long course. Once again, the other T-Birds sneak away. A cruising boat forced Boreas and Thatuna to take evasive action at the July 2017

first mark. Their tight maneuvering lost little ground.

We closed on Knot Raven as Thatuna pushed Boreas into a lull on the city waterfront. Suddenly, the “luxury of being last” presented an opportunity.

“Rhys, they’re heading toward that bell buoy, but our mark is the orange buoy,” I pointed out. We followed the other T-Birds until they were committed, then altered course to the real second mark.

The T-Birds realized their mistake as we exited the bay with a huge lead.

Tzieu! was a handful in gusts with two aboard. A quick glance to the water flowing above the low side windows confirmed we carried a healthy degree of heel.

The unruly behavior of the boat left us guessing which mark to round first. We made the same mistake as the other T-Birds and lost our lead. They say one design racing is about which boats make the fewest mistakes: this is true.

We set a spinnaker and surfed after the fleet. We caught other boats, but no T-Birds. At the awards ceremony, I realized that our fourth, second, fourth scored better than Knot Raven’s third, fourth, third finishes and we took a burgee! The first one I have earned.

The luxury of being last. Necessary for a win on a heavier boat with old sails. The Classic Mariner ’s Regatta: a weekend well spent making new friends, watching classic sailboats fight for first, and continuing the lifelong learning process of sailing.

F

ickle winds were the order of the day at this year ’s 30th Anniversary BMW Lasqueti Island Regatta, organized by Schooner Cove Yacht Club, located in Nanoose Bay, British Columbia.

Thirty-seven race boats from eleven British Columbia yacht clubs came together to tackle one of the most challenging courses in the Vancouver Island Racing Series.

With four divisions starting outside Fairwinds Marina on June 3, 200+ skippers and crew did not know that the winds would vary from SE 5-10 and occasionally 15 knots, changing to NW 5-10 knots late in the day or that the currents would not follow the current tables. Many sail changes were required along the way!

A comment shared by a number of experienced skippers was that the race ‘was a humbling experience,’ as boats ranging from 27 to 70 feet tried to find that small bit of wind to keep their boats moving. Most racers crossed the finish line close to midnight.

Westerly, a Santa Cruz 70 from Royal Victoria Yacht Club skippered

by Stuart Dahlgren was the winner in Division One as well as the Overall Winner, taking home the Windsor Plywood Cup. Finishing less than one minute behind Westerly on corrected time was Lawn Dart, a Santa Cruz 50 from Nanaimo Yacht Club, skippered by past winner, Bill Allan.

Other Division winners included Run Away Girl, skippered by Richard Simpson from the Nanaimo Yacht Club, who took Division Two.

The Division Four winner was Dick Duffley from the Schooner Cove Yacht Club on Pyrat.

Best overall performance by a Schooner Cove Yacht Club member and recipient of the Fairwinds Cup, was Freewind, skippered by Richard Hudson. Freewind finished second in Division Three.

Peter Milne, this year ’s Regatta Chair, commented, “Over 50 Club volunteers organized the race, served hundreds of meals, and participated in all the planning and promotion that goes into the regatta every year. It was a pleasure working with them.”

Tremendous thanks go to the 44 sponsors and prize donors,

particularly our Presenting Sponsor, BMW Nanaimo. Windsor Plywood, w h i c h s p o n s o r s t h e Wi n d s o r Plywood Cup, Thrifty Foods, and Andrew Sheret, all contributed greatly to the success of the event.

Roger Kibbles from the Saltspring Island Sailing Club, skipper of Electra, commented that “The whole three days were well organized, most effectively catered, and visitors were treated as special VIPs… We shall certainly return next year…

We also appreciated the challenging course.”

The 31st Annual BMW Lasqueti Island Regatta will be held June 1-3, 2018. For information go to www.scyc.ca/racing/regatta.

Howard “Howie” Tomlinson Howard “Howie” Tomlinson passed peacefully surrounded by family on May 18, 2017 at the age of 89.

An avid 48° North reader, Howie loved sailing. For over 40 years, he owned a sailboat named Credence, and for 25 years called her home. He made port from as far north as Seward, Alaska and as far south as Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and many many ports in between. Sailing friends can find more information on the celebration of his life and to sign his guest book at www.asacredmoment.com

swiftsure yachts The logbook for July 2017 Margaret B2 is a centercockpit version of this proven and popular Robert H. Perry design featuring finely finished, hand rubbed teak and rich blue upholstery. Fittings, materials, and joinery are of the highest quality.

Outfitting includes: genset, hydronic heating system, davits, electric mainsail furling winch, dinghy and outboard. Margaret B2 is in superb condition due to her light Pacific Northwest use; hatches are free of crazing and metals free of corrosion, engine room and bilges are clean, and interior joinery and soft goods are like new. This boat would be suitable for continued Pacific Northwest cruising and “over the horizon” long distance cruising, or easily trucked to the east coast.
