IREWORKS OVER THE water are pretty spectacular.

Not only does the sky light up in a dazzling display of boom and bam, but the water reflects that razzle-dazzle, creating a kaleidoscope of ooh- and ahh-worthy sea- and skyscapes. Whether you’re in San Diego, Seattle or anywhere on the coast between, there might be a fireworks display visible from the water.

With all that pageantry and pyrotechnic proficiency going on, it’s easy to forget you’re on a boat and that the rules of the water still apply. But they do. In fact, the night of July 4 is a time to pay extra special attention to the navigation rules, and to go out of your way to observe them for others, too, because not everyone will. If you and a bunch of your family and friends are fortunate enough to hit the water for a fireworks show, keep a few things in mind.

• Look out for other boats. Seems obvious, but really, watch out for other boats. There are bound to be more of them on the water than usual, and for many operators, this might be the only time they operate after dark all summer, so the conditions are ripe for rookie mistakes.

• Check and double check your navigation lights. And then hope everyone driving a boat after the show knows what the lights mean.

Remember, if your boat’s big enough to host 20 people but you don’t have 20 life jackets aboard, your boat can’t host 20 people.

Kids aboard? Make sure their PFD is on at all times. It’s going to be dark and they’re going to have their attention skyward during the show.

• Maintain a proper safety zone around other boats and around any fireworks barges, if the pyrotechnics are being launched from the water.

• Assign a sober skipper. It’s as important on the water as it is on the road.

• Most importantly, enjoy the show, wherever you are fortunate enough to view it. If you put your shutterbug talents to use, share a photo or two with us on Facebook.

LEAD BOAT // ARROW460 GRANTURISMO

Overseas Highway Mercedes-Benz makes a splash in the marine industry with its first yacht.

M

ercedes-Benz has long been a status symbol for luxury car owners, and now it can be for yacht owners, too. Yep, Mercedes has entered the boating arena, with a big-time assist from Silver Arrows Marine.

Together, they designed and built a Mercedes for that water that is equal parts luxury and durability: Arrow460 Granturismo.

The 46-foot, 6-inch-long luxury yacht combines the performance of a Mercedes-Benz sports car with unique innovations from the boating industry, and its exterior lines make it look a bit like its namesake arrow. All the amenities observers would expect from Mercedes-Benz are manifest in a yacht. The standard equipment includes JBL by Harman and Bose sound systems, an ice-maker, air conditioning and, best of all, a built-in chilled wine cellar. Of course there is an endless array of options for accessorizing the yacht.

Outdoor space is limited on the Arrow460, which is perhaps why the interior is so lush.

Wood grain and leather are the obvious choice for the interior of this Benz. The seats are

wrapped in Nubuck leather and there’s a 3-D veneer eucalyptus wood covering the rest. It can accommodate 10 people, partially due to the pop-out berths and tables, for those overnight trips that you don’t want to come to an end.

With a long foredeck, an arched roofline and a slightly descending aft end, the

The plan was to convert the pod to a research station for scientists to study the sharks, after contest winners enjoyed their unforgettable evening.

large side windows are retractable and the windscreen can be raised, so passengers get a great 360-degree view.

Yanmar power — either twin 6LY440 (440 hp) or twin 6LY3-ETP (480 hp) — will push the sports-car-on-the-water to 38 knots and provide a comfortable cruise speed of 28 knots.

That’s not quite highway speed, but the boat is going to look like it’s moving faster because of the design. Heck, it looks like it’s moving when it’s standing still.

If you want one, you better act quickly, because only 10 of these vessels will be built. No price has been posted, but if you have to ask you probably can’t afford it anyway.

READER SAYS WHAT? > In the March issue of Sea on page 7 is a comment on why icebergs are blue, and it is not entirely correct. The color of the ice is determined by the reflection properties of the surface, which is largely diffuse reflection with little color dependence and hence is white (all colors). The blue color comes from the light that enters the ice and is scattered back to the surface and to a person looking at it. Blue light scatters much more effectively from small crystals and structure in the ice than the other colors; hence, the blue tint. This is also the reason the sky is blue.

Most of us are aware of driverless cars autonomously roaming the streets, but Boeing has announced Echo Voyager, an underwater vehicle designed to be able to remain at sea for months at a time using a hybrid rechargeable power system and modular payload bay. Voyager joins two other unmanned undersea vehicles, Echo Seeker and Echo Ranger. This fleet of UUVs will autonomously gather underwater data for scientific and military purposes. Echo Voyager can collect data and provide information back to users in a near real-time environment.

A Reunion for the Ages ACCORDING TO CBC NEWS, A

long-overdue reunion took place at the Vancouver Maritime Museum in April. Colin Allen was a teenager looking for work when he joined the crew on St. Roch to haul ice. Now Allen is 80 years old, and the Inuvialuit elder recently flew south to visit the Vancouver Maritime Museum where St. Roch is on display. St. Roch was the first vessel to sail the Northwest Passage from west to east and the first to circumnavigate North America. Parks Canada first restored the ship in 1971. Allen remembers his time on the historical ship fondly, and recalls playing cribbage every night, just as the display has it at the museum.

CRUISE-WORTHY COASTLINE

THE THREE BEST CRUISING GROUNDS IN THE LOWER SEA OF CORTEZ ARE WAITING FOR ADVENTUROUS SOULS.

I

’M OFTEN ASKED, “What’s a cruising ground? How is a cruising ground different from a cruising destination?” A cruising ground refers to a fairly large geographic area — say, a 100- to 150-mile stretch of coast — that encompasses a wide variety of boating activities, such as overnight anchorages, scuba and snorkel dive sites, fishing spots for different species and maybe some interesting shore excursions nearby. Not every coastline qualifies as a cruising ground.

During June and July, the lower half of the Sea of Cortez is chock full of interesting cruising grounds — three of which contain a primary destination: a port town with at least one marina, a fuel dock and a boatyard with yacht services, plus groceries and restaurants — and July might be the last time to enjoy them, before summer really sets in with southerly swells and the threat of hurricanes.

12 SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2016

La Paz is the state capital and largest town in Baja California Sur. With five full-service marinas, four boatyards and three anchorage areas spread along the six-mile linear bay, it’s no wonder that La Paz supports the largest liveaboard community of gringos in Mexico. And unlike the glamour and resort prices of Los Cabos, the City of Peace feels homey and economical.

For the latest in local boating services, news and gossip, visitors should tune in to VHF Channel 22 at 8 a.m. for the cruisers’ net, or stop by the clubhouse of the Club de Cruceros de La Paz (La Paz Cruisers Club) for morning coffee and local orientation. It’s next door to Marina de La Paz. Take advantage of excellent provisioning and medical services in town before you head out.

North of La Paz, the 115-mile cruising ground includes Balandra Bay, many island anchorages (the Espiritu Santos Islands, Isla Coyote, Isla San Jose), San Evaristo, Gato and Toro, Agua Verde, Candeleros and Isla Danzante — ending at Puerto Escondido.

If you have time for only one cruising ground this year, it should be La Paz to Puerto Escondido. As summer approaches, remember that hurricane holes are found at La Paz (Marina Costa Baja and Marina Palmira) and inside Puerto Escondido’s main basin.

LORETO TRIANGLE Puerto Escondido, Loreto and Isla Carmen comprise what’s known as the Loreto Triangle, a self-contained triangular cruising ground that is only about 18 to 25 miles on each side.

The enclosed natural harbor of Puerto Escondido is the yatista hub thanks to two marinas (60 slips and 115 moorings), a boatyard for repairs and dry storage, a sheltered anchorage and the only floating fuel dock for yachts in the region. A new wave of cruisers arrives each spring for Hidden Port Yacht Club’s popular Loreto Fest, but some boaters have lived aboard here for years. When boaters need to stretch their legs, Steinbeck’s Canyon is a

short, steep hike into the nearest Sierra Giganta gorge.

The historic town of Loreto, 18 miles north on Highway 1, has decent provisioning and medical services, but access by boat is limited to an open roadstead and a dinghy landing inside the small panga harbor. Loreto’s historic mission church was the first in a chain of 22 missions in Baja and Alta California. From here, you can take a one-day round-trip Jeep excursion up to tiny San Javier Mission in the dramatic Sierra Giganta.

Carmen Island, 10 to 15 miles offshore, stretches 20 miles, rises to 1,400-foot peaks and provides at least four popular

anchorages and many diving reefs. The ghost town at La Salina Bay makes an interesting shore hike. Nearby, a private hunting lodge opens only when invasive big-horn sheep need culling.

Fishing anywhere in the Loreto Channel is amazingly productive, thanks to the bottom’s funneling effect, as it rises from a depth of 1,350 feet to 150 feet. Fishing resorts run dorado festivals in June and July. Marlin and other bills are found east of Carmen Island over the steep drop.

According to the local folk song, “The Loreto Triangle is so pleasant that yatistas cruise in and [spooky chords] never want to leave!”

In Santa Rosalia, visitors can visit a cast-iron church that was designed by Gustav Eiffel of Eiffel Tower fame, constructed in Brussels, disassembled, shipped to Mexico and reassembled. It’s a neat bit of history in a popular cruising ground.

LORETO TO SANTA ROSALIA The next cruising ground varies in length from 120 to 140 miles. It starts at the Little Coronado Islands and progresses to San Bruno, Punta Mangles, San Juanico, Punta Pulpito, tiny San Sebastian, huge Bahia Concepcion, Mulege village, Punta Chivato and Isla San Marcos before ending at Santa Rosalia.

The variable stop is Bahia Concepcion, an elongated 21-mile bay called “the sea within the sea.” Near the bay’s entrance, Bahia Coyote offers 10 turquoise anchorages within three miles, some with hot springs or clam-digging shoals and others with beach cantinas. On July 4, ham radio weatherman Baja Geary has a gathering (hot dogs and beer) at his solar-powered radio shack in Playa El Burro. The rest of Concepcion Bay yields 16 more remote anchoring spots — a few with launch ramps.

Santa Rosalia is the jewel at the end. Its 2,000-foot harbor breakwater shelters a Fonatur marina, a fuel dock, a Guaymas ferry dock, a navy base, fishing docks and a small anchorage. Santa Rosalia is not a hurricane hole; the original marina was destroyed by a hurricane.

The reward here is exploring Santa Rosalia’s historic downtown, on foot if possible. In 1885, the French mining company El Boleo built Santa Rosalia entirely of imported wood slabs as a typical French village; the graceful library, bakery, schools, shops and 100 homes were unique in Baja. By 1953 the copper petered out, El Boleo left and the village declined. In 2013, Mexican miners with advanced techniques returned, and Turismo restored the historic buildings — especially the popular French bakery where the “boleo” loaf was invented.

Sadly, the 2015 Christmas fire destroyed 20 wooden gems, but they’re all being reconstructed.

The church, which was built by Gustav Eiffel — yes, the Eiffel Tower architect — survived the fire. It was built in Brussels of modular cast-iron panels that were disassembled, shipped to Santa Rosalia and reassembled. Europe’s 1800’s industrial revolution greatly affected sleepy little Santa Rosalia. Still does.

Brian Calvert and his Selene 48 Furthur left the friendly confines of Seattle more than six years ago.

Since then, they’ve been to Mexico, French Polynesia, Australia, Fiji, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sumatra, Thailand and many other places. And Calvert has documented it all at furtheradventures.com. We’ve checked in with him a couple of times before, and we do so again now, with highlights from 2015.

And the Beat Goes On…

If the Energizer bunny were a boater, it’d be aboard Furthur with Brian Calvert, who is still chasing the cruising dream more than six years after pointing his boat’s bow toward out there.

Compiled from the blog of Brian Calvert aboard Furthur

YEAR SIX: The Boat 10/18/15 Having completed some maintenance and added a few major goodies at the end of year five, this year I’ve only had to concern myself with small repairs and maintenance. The always-reliable Cummins engine now has 7,400 trouble-free hours. We put 750 hours on last year, a bit below our 1,000-hour-a-year average.

With the new solar panels, there were some charging issues to resolve. Once done, I added two more AGM batteries, which raised my capacity by 50 percent.

In two instances, I grossly misdiagnosed problems and spent a bunch of money and grief on things that turned out to be simple — all in the “lessons learned” department. On both malfunctions, a broken O-ring was the culprit, one in the generator’s Racor filter and one in the stabilizer ram.

After years of packing around piles of charts, I realized I had not opened one since I left, which was a harsh realization for an old-school paper-chart guy, but true. With four computer navigation systems on board, everything from my ship’s computer to my phone is nav and GPS equipped. I decided to pass the charts on. First, I tried the Selene Owners site and other cruising forums with no luck. Shipping costs were all I was asking for the 14

complete set of charts from Seattle to Thailand — no takers. Then I tried to give them away locally; again, no takers. So it was, with great angst, that I dropped them in the dumpster. My old U.S. Power Squadron buddies would cringe. To add insult to the old salts, I put a new ice-maker where the charts once held domain. I now open that locker every day rather than never in six years.

So on the “things we love list” goes the solar panels and, yeah, the ice-maker.

With the current rolling anchorages, the Forespar Rolex stabilizer system has risen to the top of that list. My cruising buddies have all been over peering at it in wonder.

For another year, the sturdy Mercury 25 hp outboard has performed flawlessly, although the dinghy is getting tired and is on the replacement list next year.

Recently I had to tow a buddy’s boat after he picked up some bad fuel and had no fuel-polishing system, an oversight he will surely correct. That experience put the ESI fuel-polishing system high on the “don’t leave home without it” list.

My FCI water-maker is a jewel, and I found out that by adding another membrane I can increase the production by 50 percent: 75 gallons an hour! My friend ordered one like it, and they included my membrane in his shipment. If finances 16

SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2016

allow, I might replace my smaller watermaker, too, since it quit years ago and just takes up space. For my crew, a water-maker is essential, and having a backup — especially one small enough to run off the inverter while underway without the gen — would be good.

Ten years — six of rugged cruising — have taken their toll on the boat. I now have rebuilt all major pumps, the windlass, the stabilizer rams and many other things, none of which gave out early but rather succumbed to lots of wear. Eventually, I will give the interior woodwork a tune-up and repaint the blue hull, but not this year.

DOWN THE BUMPY PATH: 9/20/15 This is the time of year when the trade winds change from northeast to southwest. Until midseason when the winds settle, they are usually stronger, which we found out the hard way. The moorings at Sangihe were shaky at best and it was not going to be fun when the wind picked up or shifted, so at the first sign of change we made a hasty exit.

The path south is dotted with small islands, many with great anchorages, so we decided to day hop on down to Sulawesi. The first island looked good on paper, with a deep north-facing bay well

protected from southerlies. Unfortunately, it was far too deep to set an anchor. I carry an exceptional 600 feet of chain, far more than most cruising boats, and yet I could not find a place to drop the hook.

John on our companion boat, Restless, gave up as well and side-tied to a small tugboat tied to the cement pier, which we did with a local ferry.

Now snuggly secure next to the pier, we were visited by most of the tiny island village. We were the biggest news to hit this town, it seemed. All the folks were genuinely friendly, and we were soon surrounded by beaming, bright smiles. I broke out the balloons, the kids laughed, the adults watched and all was good.

With sketchy Internet, our weather information was limited, but it seemed the wind would stick for at least a week, which was much too long to hang off the broken tugboat. I consulted the local ferryboat captain, and through a combination of sign language, pantomime and a few common words, he advised we go that morning. The next island was only 35 miles away, so off we went. I have said before that there are days I envy the sailboats, slipping downwind silently in a nice breeze, but today was not one of them! It was a day designed for heavy displacement trawlers. The seas built as the wind hit the 40-knot mark, yet we remained comfortable for the most part.

The next island, Siau, has a massive volcano that erupted just as we approached, smoke billowing out of the top reminiscent of old “King Kong” movies. Also bringing movies of great peril to mind, just as the volcano erupted, the always loyal, perpetually babied Cummins engine stopped.

With no power, the two- to three-meter seas tossed us about violently. Being so in tune with the engine, I felt the rpm drop before it died and had my hands on the key instantly, and, praise Allah, it started.

After a bit of thinking and head-scratching as to why it stopped, we continued. A few minutes later, it stopped again. This time I took action, dropped fast into the engine room, switched the dual Racor filter and switched to the other fuel tank. After a few grinds, the loyal Cummins fired up and kept running. I had run on the starboard

tank since fueling and that fuel had been polished, but when the tank got down to about half, the rough weather broke loose some crud on the very bottom and blocked the fuel. One of the things I truly, deeply and passionately love about the Cummins is it will start dry. Most diesel engines would have required some painful bleeding to restart, the Cummins just fired right up. Needless to say, at the next anchorage I ran all the fuel through the ESI polishing

system twice!

We rounded the volcano and headed for what we hoped was a safe anchorage. This is the one on the leg that we had doubts about. As we approached the anchorage, those doubts vanished as we settled under the watchful eye of a 50-foot-tall sparkling white statue of Jesus Christ and dropped the hook in 40 feet of calm water. We laughed as we discovered the anchorage not only had the protection of our savior

but great Internet thanks to a tower right behind the statue. So with the tower and Christ off our bow and an erupting volcano off our stern, we toasted the day’s fortune.

Our usual 5:30 a.m. departure time arrived and, bam, the 20-plus knot headwinds returned. Happily, as we left the island, the seas abated and we had a more pleasant ride to Biaro Island, which had a real promising anchorage deep into a bay.

We settled in and enjoyed the calm.

With better Internet, I could get more weather information and I used my new favorite site, windyty.com, which seemed to load faster than the others. The almost psychedelic (neither I nor my spell check knows how to spell this, haha [Ed note: Fortunately, I do.]) wind display clearly showed we had picked the roughest path.

Just 20 or 30 miles to the west, the winds calmed and bent toward the west. As we were the lead boat in the rally, I sent a group email advising the sailboats not to follow our path. Fact is most of them would have a hard time making any headway in the seas and headwinds. I advised they take the more westward route, even though it was a nonstop passage with no comfy anchorages. Most followed my advice and were glad.

We rejoiced as we neared Sulawesi Island and calm seas and sunshine. The main city is Manado, which has no facilities or anchorage for cruising boats. Last time we visited here, I found a nice bit of local knowhow and rafted to an old derelict passenger ferry inhabited by a great bunch of local characters. They seemed to remember me from three years ago. I guess not much changes in their world. As with last time, I needed fuel and, like last time, it was the police boat that sold it to me with the help of the good ol’ boys. Furthur took on 1,000 liters and Restless took on 1,400. The difference in volume was interesting, since we both left the last fuel stop full and had done the same distance at the same speed.

We reveled in civilization. The girls shopped and I found a four-story hardware store. All were happy. We hired a cosmic bug-like pedal car, complete with rocking sound system, and cruised the avenue. The next day we heard the oh-so-welcome and familiar call of Sidewinder on the VHF and learned they were anchored not far away, so off we went to find our friends and our next adventure!

CHANGE OF PLAN: 6/20/15 Cruising is a constant making and changing of plans. I find when I fight the forces that be, I regret it, and now was one of those times the forces said, “Change your plan.”

18 SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2016

I had a great crew, all excited to enter into the wilds of Indonesia, but they had time limitations. We planned on being in Davao about two weeks then off we would go, but the entrance paperwork took longer than expected, so we had to make a decision.

The two crewmembers had a finite time to be on the boat and the seasonal weather change was looming, both of which did not bode well for my plan.

We drew a line in the sand. If the paperwork did not arrive by a certain date, we would change the plan and regrettably, but understandably, the crew would move on. That day came and no paperwork.

With a tear in our eyes, we bid Sandra and Chloe goodbye, and Donna and I settled into marina life. My real goal was to dive at Raja Amput, and we learned that most of the folks in the marina were joining a rally there in late August, a much better time weather-wise, so we decided to join in, which puts us in a small marina for a few months.

We have quickly bonded with the cruising community here. Some I have known before, many with similar experiences. I met a guy with a 2010 Puddle Jump shirt

on and showed him the name Furthur on the back. The cruisers were all very welcoming and invited us to the weekly barbecue potluck. Some brought food, I brought a guitar.

I quickly organized a weekly dive. We hire the marina speedboat with a driver, take six divers and go to one of the local hotspots. There is some remarkable soft coral — some of the healthiest I have seen in a long time — clear, warm water and just enough current to make us happy we have a boat driver.

We have found a great swimming hole, a series of waterfalls in a nice park. What a treat on a 90-degree day! I hired a motorbike, and we have explored the island already. I have also found an entertaining gambling game, at which I won 150 pesos ($3) the first time out.

Samal Island sits a 10-minute ferry ride from a major city, Davao, complete with several malls and tons of shops. We walk on the ferry and catch a cab. Pretty much anything you need is there, even a branch of Costco.

There are things we take for granted that will amaze the folks back home.

(Clockwise from above) The floats in Philippines’ Good Friday procession are elaborate. A decaying shell-covered walkway marks an Indonesian swimming hole. Getting fuel in Indonesia is a challenge. A band welcomes the Furthur crew. The pedal taxis in Mandano, Indonesia, are psychedelic.

Donna gets a weekly mani/pedi with wild colors for 40 pesos (80 cents). We go out to a scrumptious dinner with beer and my standard pitcher of iced tea for four bucks apiece. A taxi ride in the city is a couple of bucks. Moorage here is about $10 a day.

Life is good!

HOLY WEEK IN THE LAND OF THE FAITHFUL: 4/27/15 I think it pointless to travel the world and not immerse in the different cultures. This is one of the benefits of cruising vs. more mundane travel options. If you really want to experience a culture, take part in its religious celebrations — really take part. This is the way to know the hearts of those we visit. I always try to learn all I can and then jump right in.

In Mexico, it was the Virgin of Guadalupe Day procession. I bought a small statue, read all I could, donned the traditional garb and walked along with the ladies in long colorful skirts and men in big hats. In Tahiti, we went to Catholic mass often and heard the voice of angels in those choirs. In Fiji, we visited a church that

had its roots in the Old South and gladly accepted the pastor’s offer to come out and bless our boat.

Then we left the somewhat familiar world of Christian faiths and entered Indonesia, one of the largest Islamic countries in the world. Although I was intrigued, the traditions are more private.

Ramadan is not for the tourist, so I respectfully watched but did not partake.

Then we hit the celebrating capital of the world, Thailand. I did the two seasonal changing holidays. Loy Krathonis is where they set adrift ornately decorated and candle-lit tiny boats in the sea. I was accompanied by miniskirted, high-heeled bar girls who had spent days building the tiny vessels. Watching the tiny boats drift to sea by the hundreds was quite a sight.

The other end of the year, the beginning of the rainy season, is celebrated as no other. I can honestly say I have never had so much fun as a day of Sangran. In this celebration, the entire country enthusiastically participates in the world’s largest squirt-gun fight. Everyone throws water on everyone for 12 belly-laughing hours. Thailand also hosts the most bizarre commemoration, Vegetarian Week: wild parades with havoc-raising fireworks blasting in all directions, ear-piercing drums, and the nightly parade of those who mutilate themselves as a demonstration of their faith.

One must see it to believe it.

The Philippines is a Christian-dominated culture but not like I have ever seen. The country still shows the evidence of 400 years of Spanish rule and is 81 percent Catholic — and I mean really Catholic, not the watered-down kind we see in the U.S. It is common for even the meager tricycle driver to cross himself when we pass a church. These people live the faith.

Holy Week, the week preceding Easter, is the most significant week of the year.

All week long we saw celebrations and ceremonies of all kinds. Maudry Thursday, the day of the Last Supper, is observed with a mass and the reenactment of the event, complete with “the Washing of the Feet,” where Christ washed his disciples’ feet. I went to the church to see this but could not get in due to the huge crowd.

Unlike in the West, Good Friday, or

Black Friday as it is called here, is the most significant day. All business stops; hospitals, banks and even the girly bars close. Many who work in the cities return to the providences to join their families for this holy day.

We returned to the oldest Catholic church in town for the Good Friday procession. Through a little research, I found this church had stood through a great deal. It was used to house prisoners by the Japanese during World War II. Today, it was brightly decorated and well attended. We joined about 500 local people as we lit our candles and followed the ornately decorated floats. Each float depicted a significant character from the original event: Saint Peter, Mary Magdalen, the Holy Mother and, of course, the suffering Jesus. The solemn marchers recited prayers.“Hail Mary, full of grace” was chanted repeatedly and with bone-chilling resolve, which made me take note. One could feel the sincerity and deep, deep faith of the walkers. It was powerful.

In my quest to grasp the soul of the Filipinos, I have also been studying the history of the Philippines, especially the recent move to close the huge U.S. military bases. After centuries of colonization — Chinese, Spanish, American — for the first time in 1992, the Philippines were truly independent. The vote to not renew the treaty was taken seriously and was not without conflict. Subic Bay alone provided 20,000 good-paying jobs, not to mention a level of security.

I recently visited a monument to the 12 senators who voted against the treaty, where you can read the speeches they made. They are still honored today. This was not an anti-American move. Their sincere desire was to maintain a strong bond with the U.S. and be an ally, but not a colony. I had read about the vote, but not until I stood under the monument did I feel the essence of the Filipino heart.

My travels have taught me many wonderful things, but the most important is to know the people. Immerse oneself in the religious ceremonies, read the history, visit the historical monuments and play with the children. Then and only then will you know the hearts of the people you visit.

FENDER FRIEND FENDER FRIEND, $22.99

The combination of wave action, the boat pinning fenders against the dock and worn lines can lead to lost fenders, which can lead to a damaged boat. The FenderFriend puts an end to this issue with a fender whip and hanger that features a built-in shock absorber. It stretches 12 inches so that when a wake or swells rock the boat, the fender stays in place, protecting the vessel without additional strain to the rail, cleat or lifeline. The system includes a UV-resistant nylon webbing strap and a sturdy Nexus marine-grade buckle. Boaters will appreciate the shock absorber’s stretch when they are idling into the slip, when the moving boat can squeeze the fender out of place. Davis Instruments, davisnet.com

FOLDING CHOCK, $68.89

Boat owners usually think about line chocks only two times. One is when they need them to guide dock or anchor lines. Two is when they’re cursing a chock for snagging fishing lines, tripping someone, tangling the sails or interfering with a boat’s clean look. Accon Marine offers solutions that only protrude above deck when needed. Just as the name implies, the Accon Folding Chock’s steel line guide folds down, out of the way, until it’s time to dock again. It easily surface mounts to the deck with just three screws — no cutouts required.

GFCI Care // life rafts // grid’s rant

CIRCUIT, INTERRUPTED W

HEN WAS THE last time you checked your onboard ground fault circuit interrupters

(GFCIs)? Recent data indicate that approximately 30 percent of GFCI outlets installed in homes and 50 percent of the units in the marine environment don’t work, mostly because they are sensitive electronic instruments that are easily damaged by spikes in power or the environment where they reside. These devices have an extremely high failure rate, especially in the marine environment. One of the reasons for failure is that few of us follow the Underwriters Laboratories standards and the manufacturer’s “test monthly” suggestion. Doing so helps exercise the mechanism inside the unit, ensuring it can move freely when called into action.

A GFCI outlet adds a greater level of safety by reducing the risk of electric shock. The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) recommends the use of ground fault protection receptacles in a head, galley and machinery space or on a weather deck (splash or spray). The units are designed to protect people from

22

SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2016

line-to-ground electrical shock hazards by monitoring for a current imbalance between the hot and neutral wire, and they break the circuit if that condition occurs.

A circuit breaker usually will trip if you receive a shock, but it may not act fast enough to protect you from harm. A GFCI outlet is more sensitive and acts faster than

a circuit breaker or fuse and, thus, is an important safety feature. A GFCI is different than a circuit breaker in that the GFCI is designed to protect you, and a circuit breaker is there to protect the electrical conductors.

In a properly wired GFCI, the slightly larger left slot is called “neutral” (white conductor), the right slot is called “hot” (black conductor) and the hole below them is called “ground” (green conductor). If an appliance is working properly, all electricity the appliance uses will flow from hot to neutral, and a GFCI monitors that amount of current. Basic electrical theory says that whatever voltage goes in must equal what is going out. If there is any imbalance (fault), then that difference is going somewhere it was not intended. If a fault does occur and the leakage level exceeds four to six

milliamps, the GFCI unit can react as quickly as one-30th of a second to protect the user by opening the circuit, thus interrupting the power supply and limiting the duration of any electrical current flow. This quick action is too little time for current to build to a dangerous level.

A GFCI outlet may be wired in a branch circuit, which means other outlets and electrical devices may share the same circuit and breaker. When a properly wired GFCI trips, the other devices down the line from it will also lose power.

GFCI outlets should be tested periodically, at least once a month, using the “Test” and “Reset” buttons, which need exercise, because it takes very little corrosion to render them useless. Pressing the “Test” button will trip the outlet and break the circuit. Pressing “Reset” will restore

the circuit. Some units have a small indicator light to show that they have power. If you press the “Test” button but the outlet still has power, the outlet is miswired. A miswired outlet is dangerous and should be fixed immediately.

GFCIs are inexpensive and easy to replace. Use only high-quality devices from a reliable manufacturer and not the cheap ones from the local discount store, and test one immediately after replacing it.

In 2015, Underwriters Laboratories published a new standard applying to all permanently installed GFCIs. UL 943 requires all units to automatically monitor GFCI functionality every three hours or less. If the device can no longer provide this protection, it must deny power and provide a visual and/or audible indication for end of life.

CLEAN BILGE, FRESH SMELLING BOAT

I

BY DEANE HISLOP

N ANY BOAT, a fouled bilge can lead to consequences ranging from an annoyance to a catastrophe. Dirt, grit, grime and marine growth can clog scuppers and bilge pumps. Years of neglect can result in unpleasant odors, rotting hoses and jammed fittings. Even though most bilges in today’s boats are primed with gelcoat or paint and equipped with dripless-style shaft logs, they still can get ugly when left unattended.

There are a number of ways to clean bilge surfaces. Short of actually steam cleaning, different types of cleaners will keep the bilge pristine, including stain removers, specially formulated detergent/ emulsifiers, and oil-containment cylinders and pads.

Remove oil cylinders and pads when they darken. The white elements are made from polypropylene material, and when those elements turn gray and eventually darken, it’s time to replace them.

The oil pads beneath the engine can also serve as a telltale device, pinpointing minor leaks caused by loosening bolts or weakening gaskets.

Periodically clean the bilge with a specific cleaner and then remove it at the dock or mooring rather than letting the cleaner

slosh around while underway. The reason for doing this has nothing to do with the cleaning action; rather, you should remove the cleaner because the bilge pump will expel the fluids, and it’s illegal to pump overboard any form of oil or fuel.

While oil is the most obvious contaminant, rust and mildew stains will also discolor the bilge. There are special removers that can be used in conjunction with bilge cleaners to tackle these issues.

A fouled bilge can lead to consequences ranging from an annoyance to a catastrophe.

Dirt, grime and residue from gray water are loosened by the detergent in bilge cleaners, but the key ingredient in bilge cleaners is a wetting agent. It literally opens up stubborn stains to let in the detergent and other cleaning agents, such as degreasing emulsifiers.

Use a soft bristle brush to clean the bilge in areas you can reach.

For the untouchable spots, let the cleaner slosh around in the bilge, using oil-capture material to capture hydrocarbons suspended in the bilge water. Once all oils are captured, remove the oil-trapping material and eliminate the remaining fluid on land.

In older boats, accumulated grunge can build up in the bilge and with it, mildew. It may take a number of cleanings to get all the surfaces clean. Even if the stuff is caked on, the wetting agents, emulsifiers and detergents will eventually remove it.

The first thing you want to do is verify that the inspection sticker is current. For cradle-mounted, hard-case units designed to float free should the vessel sink, you’ll also want to make sure the hydrostatic release mechanism isn’t expired. If the inspection sticker is expired, the raft will have to be returned to an authorized service center for testing and repacking. If at all possible, try to attend the testing and repacking of your life raft, to familiarize yourself with its operation. Another good idea is to customize the contents to meet your particular cruising needs. Additional water, a waterproof handheld VHF or extra rations are just a few examples of good-to-have items in an emergency. Another is an Automatic Identification System (AIS) or Search and Rescue Transponder (SART), both of which transmit GPS location, range and course to all vessels in the area equipped with AIS receiver

TURN IT ON YESTERDAY, A FELLOW (PART-TIME) MOBILE tech called to ask if I could take care of a friend of his, as he had no time. Even though we pass jobs back and forth, I’ve learned to be cautious with his folks. “He’s the guy who put 10W30 in his E-TEC’s oil reservoir,” the tech told me. Ruh-ro. “Says his tilt won’t work, but I don’t think it’s the engine. I think it’s electrical.” Huh. Some diagnosis from an expert.

I knew this kid’s folks. Matter of fact, they bought my grandparents’ summer home on the creek, adjacent to ours. But the young man elected to get his boat serviced elsewhere ... which, after the oil incident, was fine by me! I hadn’t seen or heard from him in at least 40 years, so I called. Obviously the guy was in a panic to get the boat going now, as he greeted me as though I’d decided to split a winning Powerball ticket with him. Effusive might have been an alternative description. I asked what on the boat worked and got the list of all the accessories excepting the bilge pump. I figured before he even told me that he’d put new batteries in, so I asked what was attached to the batteries: number of, size of, etc. I told him to turn the battery switch off, then make sure each battery had a red cable coming from the selector switch, one black cable connecting the two batteries, and one black battery cable from the engine. Plus any small wires hanging loose.

“Hold on while I look.” Pause. “Damn. Look what I found.” (Sound of bilge pump engaging.) “Yay! Thank you, thank you!”

“You haven’t fixed the problem. One battery should have one large cable going to it, the other, two. Find it, attach it.”

“Will do!” Sound of a dead phone.

Less than a minute later, “Can you come over? I thought when the bilge pump worked all was well, but still no tilt or start.

I’ll be here the next few hours.”

You can envision a mechanic doubled over with laughter at that thought! If I had

BY MIKE WERLING

LAGOON 40 MOTOR YACHT AN OCEAN-PROVEN DESIGN CONVERTS TO A POWER CATAMARAN.

A

S WE WERE leaving Marina del Rey’s harbor, a gentleman on the dock asked an apro-

pos question: “Where’s the mast?” It’s the same observation that had caused me to do a double take upon seeing the Lagoon 40 Motor Yacht at the Newport Boat Show.

The logo says Lagoon. The design says sailboat. It’s a catamaran. But the mast is conspicuously absent.

The 40 Motor Yacht is one of two powerboats in the Lagoon family — the other being the 630 — and it is based on a sailing cat hull, naturally. It comes in a couple of different layouts. One includes four staterooms and four heads, two of each in both hulls. That’s the layout the builder had in mind originally, according to Naos Yachts’ Phillip Winter, my host for the test, because Lagoon envisioned the 40

Handling was easy from the elevated helm station, and visibility was 360 degrees.

MY in charter duty. Using feedback from dealers concerned about selling the cat to recreational buyers, Lagoon created a three-stateroom, two-head design, which our test boat had. It’s a layout owners are going to appreciate.

When I first viewed the boat, I saw it as a family cruising platform, and my conversation with Winter confirmed the family market should be a strong one. Parents and children are going to find plenty to like about the 40 MY.

TESTER’S OPINION

KIDTASTIC Anyone who thinks keeping the youngest on the crew occupied on the water isn’t important obviously hasn’t spent much time around kids. The Lagoon 40 has several ways to occupy their time, starting with one of the signature features of the yacht: the trampoline netting in the bow.

Sailboats often have nets in the bow, a soft deck from which to view the water running under the boat — and maybe dolphins playing in the wake — and Lagoon’s designers decided to carry the feature over to the power side. The nets make great trampolines when the boat is at anchor.

Also in the bow are two small seats, one at the very tip of each hull, for wind-in-one’shair exhilaration or to keep an eye on the kids in the net.

The next feature — and make no mistake, the adults will love this one, too — is the sun lounge on the roof of the cabin top. Two adults or a few kids can get comfortable in the perch. Call it a tanning bed with a view.

A hatch in the bow of the port hull opens to reveal a small berth with a roughly twinsize mattress. Most adults will feel a bit confined, but kids will think it’s Shangri-la: an enclosed, secret space with a hatch overhead and another through a bulkhead to the master head. On our test boat, a similar

space existed in the starboard hull, minus the interior hatch, so it’s a storage space. A cruising couple will likely use both spaces for storage, tons of it.

SOCIABILITY Whether it’s just family or a bunch of friends aboard, entertaining is likely going to be on the docket, and the Lagoon designers assumed as much. Stairs built into each hull lead from a swim platform up to the covered cockpit, where up to eight people can sit around a table on a U-shaped settee and a bench seat. The captain is elevated at the starboard-situated helm but can be part of the social action thanks to the helm’s proximity to the cockpit. The entire aft area was open on test day, but it can all be enclosed with canvas and climate controlled for any less-than-ideal passages.

A tinted-glass door slides open to provide easy movement between the cockpit and the main cabin, which includes a dining area, a galley, windows all around and a navigation station (a chart table with storage and a dash with a multifunction display, a VHF radio and a stereo receiver but no steering wheel). A window adjacent to the door also slides open to really connect the outdoors with the indoors, where five or six more people can find a place to sit around a dining table.

An L-shaped galley — double-basin sink, cabinet that can hold a microwave or be used for storage, three-burner stovetop, convection oven, refrigerator and overhead cabinets — occupies the aft port corner of the main cabin, between the forward dining area and the cockpit seating, putting the chef or drinkmeister right in the middle of the action. Opposite the galley countertop, along the cabin bulkhead, is another countertop/prep area. A hatch takes up half of the space, and under that hatch

efficient and roomy. And in the Lagoon 40 MY’s case, it’s based on a sailing model that has tens of thousands of ocean-proven miles under its hulls.

Most of the spaces on the Lagoon 40 Motor Yacht are set up for social situations, especially the cockpit/main cabin area. When it’s time to wind down, however, three staterooms deliver some privacy and solitude.

The aforementioned rooftop sunpad and the bow netting will likely see their share of adult company, too.

Forward is the head, with a vanity top, a sink, a toilet and a separate shower stall. Between the bed and the bath is a combination desk/sitting area, a vanity mirror, a locker and storage shelves. Most people will have standing headroom under the 6-foot, 2-inch header. The starboard hull holds two staterooms, one fore and one aft, and a head that’s between the berths. (The boat can be ordered with four staterooms and four heads.)

All three staterooms have an overhead hatch that opens to the wide sidedecks, and there is a window cut into the inside of each hull that looks between the hulls.

Winter called them aquarium windows. It was mesmerizing to watch the water flow past. I’m sure the kids can be occupied for long stretches if they’re told there’s a chance they’ll see dolphins — or a kraken — if they watch long enough.

We pointed the bow directly into the waves, moved along them at an angle and put them on the stern, and the boat handled everything without hassle. We touched about 10.2 knots against the waves and eclipsed 11.5 knots for a second while surfing down one. And that’s what this boat is, a 10- to 11-knot cruiser with twin Yanmar 4JH80 diesels, each supplying 80 hp. Down at sailboat speed, about 7 knots,

We took the Lagoon 40 MY out on a lumpy day, with four-foot swells coming at about three-second intervals, and the catamaran showed its seakindliness immediately as we cruised along slowly with our beam to the swell. The roll was minimal, like a monohull on a calm day, and there was no snapping back, as the hulls worked together to smooth the ride. The level ride is something Winter pointed to as a feature people appreciate about the yacht. People with an aversion to the motion of the ocean

the Yanmar diesels burn only about 1 gph.

San Francisco is within nonstop reach from Los Angeles at 7 or 8 knots.

Handling was easy from the elevated helm station, and visibility was 360 degrees, though there was a bit of a blind spot to port, immediately against the hull, due to the main cabin top. For folks who get nervous around the docks or in other tight maneuvering situations, a cat delivers peace of mind. With a beam of more than 20 feet, the 40 MY’s engines are far apart, meaning they provide maneuverability similar to a boat with thrusters and/or pod drives.

Making our way through the harbor to the dock, I checked the dining table, on which I had placed a full water bottle on the way out to the ocean. The bottle was still dead center on the table, unaffected by the swell, the chop, the hard turns and the figure-eights. That seemed to exemplify what Winter had said about the boat being good for “kids or non-seaworthy guests.”

While power catamarans are still searching for widespread acceptance on the West Coast, builders such as Lagoon are banking on that acceptance coming. And it makes sense. Cats are wide, stable boating platforms that are safe, easy to operate, fuel efficient and roomy. And in the Lagoon 40 MY’s case, it’s based on a sailing model that has tens of thousands of ocean-proven miles under its hulls. It doesn’t need the mast to continue that cruising heritage.

EVERGLADES 360 LXC THIS OUTBOARD-POWERED EXPRESS CROSSOVER IS CRUISING CENTRIC.

T

HE TERM CROSSOVER confuses me. There are crossover cars, crossover software and now crossover boats, and I have to admit, sometimes I’m not sure what is crossing over, from where it is crossing, or to where it’s going. But when I boarded the Everglades 360 LXC, the term started to gel for me. It crosses over some important boundaries: Yes, at its core, it’s an Everglades, with a fishing pedigree. But it’s a fantastic docktailer with more to wow a happy hour crowd than most 36-footers, and a couple could spend a weekend on it and miss very little about their shoreside life. Hmm, maybe crossing over just means being many things to many people and, somehow, pulling it off on all levels.

Garrison Williams and Mike Curtin of Newport Pontoons welcomed me aboard the Everglades 360 LXC, hull #4, on a warm Southern California morning. The boat was spotless and raring to go, provisioned with full tanks, lots of ice and more

Being familiar with Everglades center console fishing boats, I was surprised when I stepped aboard through the handy side gate. Yes, I expected to find plenty of rod holders, but they doubled as cupholders, and that set the tone for my exploration of the rest of the boat.

accommodate four adults and maybe a kid overnight, get to Catalina quickly and cruise the harbor with up to a dozen people for cocktails. The layout is all about the topsides, as the small cabin has been moved well forward to maximize the open lounge and cockpit above.

“This was a departure for Everglades,” Williams said. “It’s built to cruise and entertain, with 80 percent of the space on deck. That’s different from most express cruisers that have a large cabin that may only be used at night.”

In fact, Everglades took an existing hull — one that is also used for the 355CC, 350EX and 350LX — and modified it as an experiment. If the target market likes it as much as I did, it’s possible this concept will spread to hulls of other sizes.

ON DECK The 360 LXC is a center console boat with the command center amidships under a large and very durable hardtop. A seat with a flip-up bolster and fold-down armrests will accommodate two people just aft of the 42-inch console. Here, the

With 80 percent of the space aboard on deck, entertaining and socializing are going to be prominent activities, so refrigerators, ice-makers and food-prep stations are important. A fully outfitted helm is nice to have for those forays to the islands.

wheel is offset to port and engine throttles are just to the right. A line of switches and controls is within reach even with the driver seated. Above are twin Garmin 7616 16-inch multifunction displays and the optional Yamaha Helm Master with a joystick, which is a $45,000 option.

The hardtop is a serious piece of powdercoated aluminum frame construction with two non-opening overhead hatches in the fiberglass rooftop. The middle frame acts as a sort of ladder to reach a second helm station on top, an option that will run between $27,000 and $35,000. Unless a buyer is into serious offshore fishing, this may be overkill. Various LED spot and dome lights are built into the overhead for an impressive nighttime atmosphere.

The console isn’t exactly a walk-around design, because the starboard side dead-ends in a wetbar with a sink and an ice-maker. To port is the forward lounge, which will undoubtedly be the place people will gravitate to. A U-shaped settee wraps around a high/low electrically activated table and will comfortably seat four for dinner. With the table down and a cushion insert, the area can sleep one adult or two kids.

Directly across from the lounge is a

32-inch retractable flat-screen TV that levitates out of the forward bulkhead.

Just aft, built into the port gunwale, is an 83-quart cooler that was filled with ice and drinks for our ride. With side curtains, the forward lounge is an all-weather room that will be a favorite with many passengers.

Aft of the helm seat is the galley — one of two aboard. There are two 1.7-cubic-foot refrigerators that slide out port and starboard. Drawers at the back can be used for galley implements or as tackle storage, and there is a trash bin just to the side.

The top lid of the module opens to reveal a sink with a fold-down spigot and a Kenyon electric grill. With plenty of room to stand in the 100-square-foot aft cockpit, the chef can move about, cooking or serving people seated forward in the lounge or aft on the built-in transom seat. Six can sit here between the removable armrests that have integrated cupholders. And speaking of cupholders, I stopped counting at 14, and since that’s the rated capacity for the vessel, there will be one for everyone on a party cruise.

The whole cockpit sole was covered with snap-in Seagrass flooring that is comfortable underfoot and can be hosed off in case a drink goes for a tumble or some fish guts make their way aboard.

BELOWDECKS There is just enough to the interior to make the 360 an overnight couple’s cruiser.

Accessible via a pocket door between the forward lounge and the retractable TV, the neat little cabin can sleep two in an angled berth forward. It’s plenty large for one or cozy for two. Folks in the bunk can watch their favorite show on a 16-inch flat-screen, while an overhead hatch keeps the fresh air flowing.

Another small galley is to starboard and includes a sink, a microwave and a third refrigerator. To port is the enclosed head, which includes a marine toilet, a sink and a shower. The boat holds 55 gallons of fresh water, so a couple should be able to take a couple of showers and still have plenty of water left for the dishes. Headroom in the head is 65 inches, so don’t plan to stand up there unless you’re short. The rest of the cabin has 68 inches of headroom.

with speed and conditions, but with 328 gallons of gas aboard, expect to run 250 to 300 miles. So offshore fishing spots can be reached in a short day’s run.

Back in the harbor, I played with the joystick drive. We had a pretty strong current running out with the tide and I found that scooting the boat directly sideways took a bit of coordination to move the light bow at the same pace as the heavy stern from which comes the thrust of triple engines. However, given a couple of afternoons using the joystick in various conditions and tight quarters, I bet anyone would look like a docking rock star.

ALL THIS STUFF

OUT FOR A SPIN The sidedecks are not terribly wide, but there are good handholds along the hardtop, so moving forward to toss the docklines isn’t difficult. On the bow is an opening anchor locker and a chute through the hull, so the anchor may be launched and retrieved with the electric windlass without ever messing up the deck with mud or other chain debris.

Williams maneuvered the 360 out of the slip with the help of the optional joystick that ties together the triple Yamaha F300 outboards and the bow thruster. (Triple F350s are available, but I’m not sure they’re necessary.) We motored out of the harbor and opened it up to 32 mph at 4000 rpm.

Everglades is known for its Rapid Molded Core Assembly Process (RAMCAP) all-composite hulls that are built over a pre-molded foam core and vacuum bonded

to a liner. The hulls are called unsinkable, and according to Williams, Everglades hulls provide the smoothest ride on the water. I must say that speeding along at 30 mph in a two-foot chop, I felt no pounding or shuddering, and the turns were precise as we sliced through the small swell without a hiccup.

The triple 300s delivered a top speed of 48.7 mph, which was about 7 mph short of previous tests done with the F350s (and shy of other tests conducted with the 300s).

Fuel burn at WOT, 5300 rpm, was around 78 gph. At 4500 rpm, the outboards were burning 49.1 gph and pushing the boat at 36.6 mph. Our boat was loaded up with water, fuel, people and ice, and we found the most economical cruise around 21 knots, burning 26 gph, which was an average of running against and with the wind and waves. Range will fluctuate widely

Everglades’ tagline is “luxury is not an option,” which I took to mean that there is so much integrated into every model that luxury is a given. Still, I was surprised to learn how much actually comes standard on this model: two TVs, triple outboards, two reverse-cycle heat/air units (one for the cockpit and one for the cabin), three refrigerators, a 5 kw Kohler genset to run all those power-hungry toys, and many other features.

In fact, the list of optional features is shorter: Garmin electronics including radar, Sirius XM audio, a satellite security system from GOST, custom hull colors, a canvas enclosure, a bow thruster and that nifty side gate I used from the dock. As tested with just about everything including a bright blue hull and a KVH TracVision TV antenna, this 360 LXC came in at $690,000.

When I hit the docks that morning, I expected to find a fishing boat; however, what I got was a cruiser that can be fished on occasion but will most likely become the family weekender or couple’s party boat.

These crossover benefits mean that this model will probably go out three times as often as a single-purpose boat.

I admit, if I’m not the world’s worst fisherwoman, I’m probably close, and maybe that’s why this design made such an impression on me. Or maybe it’s because this boat has a truly universal appeal, since it does double and triple duty. Yep, I think this whole crossover thing may just catch on.

Get the most out of a used-boat test drive by using your eyes, ears, nose and hands.

BY CAPT. FRANK LANIER

A

boat test sail (much like test driving an automobile) can provide valuable insight as to how a vessel and its systems operate in the real world.

Sure, you can ride around with a mango margarita in one hand while the owner regales you with tales of far-away, exotic locales and/or locals. A smarter move, however, is to approach your test sail with planning and a critical eye designed to glean the most info possible about your potential purchase. Doing so can help weed out potential lemons before you spend hard-earned cash on a surveyor.

A test sail is typically shorter than a formal sea trial, so you may not have time to undertake all of the suggestions to come, but they are generic in nature and can be modified as needed, allowing you to concentrate on the ones you feel will yield the most information in the available time. If you’re not 100 percent confident in your ability to conduct any of the checks, leave those for your surveyor.

FIRST THINGS FIRST Start by giving the owner, broker or captain (whoever’s going to operate the vessel) a heads-up about what you’d like him to do while underway.

Make a list of any maneuvers you’d like to perform in advance — figure-eight turns, back-down tests — and go through it with the captain before leaving the dock.

Use Your Senses

The test drive is the time to be hyper-aware of everything you can, and your senses can be your biggest ally.

While the boat is still tied to the dock, ask that the vessel be placed in forward, neutral and reverse, to check shifting.

During the course of the trip, the driver will probably offer you the wheel, but make sure someone else is manning the helm during any test maneuvers, so you are free to look at “stuff” during the maneuver — and you’re not liable for any problems that might occur. Along those lines, you should make clear that the owner or his representative is in charge of the vessel’s operation at all times and should stop immediately if he feels a test is unsafe for any reason.

VELVET ROPE Approach the test ride as that — not a joy ride. Restrict your guest list to people with an immediate interest in the boat-buying decision, so you can stay focused on the vessel’s performance instead of worrying whether your kids are behaving or if Fido is watering the upholstery. Also, consider finding some lessthan-ideal conditions to conduct your test ride. You don’t want to go out in a gale, but it stands to reason that if you’re buying a

sportfishing boat for offshore fishing, you’ll learn a lot more about the boat operating on some healthy seas rather than skimming up a calm river.

AT THE DOCK Ask the owner or broker not to warm up the engine before you get there on test day. You can learn a lot from a cold start, but the most basic observation is how hard the engine is to start — a perfect time for weak batteries and other such problems to make themselves known.

Try to arrive a bit early and undertake a little familiarization time on board before getting underway.

Check the bilges for indicators such as water level and the presence of oily water, and compare that with how the bilges look once you’ve returned to the dock. Check the engine oil and coolant levels, as well as the transmission oil level, before and after the trip, confirming correct fill levels and noting any changes that could indicate leaks. It’s good to do this for hydraulic steering systems and trim tab units as well, if applicable.

If there’s a generator, check oil and coolant levels and ask that it be started at the beginning of the test ride and placed under load (powering the air conditioning, for example). Let it run for the duration, to observe its operation for as long as possible.

Place a clean drip cloth under the engine and generator before getting underway, which makes oil leaks more noticeable, and record engine and generator hours before and after the test, to verify the hourmeters actually work. Test day is also a good time to check the propeller shaft and rudder stuffing boxes for excessive leaking; again, compare how things look before and after the test.

Once the captain has started the engine (and

Boat Handling Checks Standard maneuvers while under power include a back-down test and figure-eight turns. The back-down test — shifting from cruising speed to neutral, then to reverse while increasing power — lets you check the engine mounts for excessive movement. Worn or misaligned engine mounts cause shaft alignment problems, meaning the mounts themselves may be bad or due for replacement in the near future. Figure-eight turns at cruising speed are useful to verify maneuverability, handling and that the vessel has an equal turning radius to port and starboard.

generator), take a moment to conduct a visual inspection for any fluid or exhaust leaks. Note the engine rpm at idle; if it’s greater than 800, it may have been bumped up to cover an idling problem. Ask that the engine be revved up to the 2000 rpm range (unloaded) to see how smooth the throttles operate and how the engine itself responds, noting any hesitation or bucking when throttling down.

While the boat is still tied to the dock, ask that the vessel be placed in forward, neutral and reverse, to check shifting. Listen for and note any unusual noises. Also verify alternator output at the batteries: 12 volts nominal, 13 to 14 volts on average for 12v systems.

UNDERWAY CHECKS Once underway, record the oil pressure, coolant temperature, volts and gearbox oil pressure for each engine at various speeds (slow throttle, half, full, and cruising speed). Record these at all helm stations to compare readings and verify the gauges work and that readings match.

If you have a laser thermometer and are comfortable around engines, here are a few additional things to examine. (A small point-and-shoot laser thermometer is less than $50 at Sears.) Check the temperature of the engine oil pan, which is typically between 190 and 220 degrees, depending on the engine. Higher readings could indicate a fouled oil cooler, something you may be able to verify by comparing oil temperatures at the oil cooler intake and discharge; the temperatures should differ significantly if the intake and discharge are working properly. This works for transmission oil coolers, too. Sweep exhaust manifolds and risers for hot and cold spots. Manifold temperatures should be within about 10 percent of each other, while riser temps should be fairly close to the cooled part of manifolds. Hot spots in any of these areas could indicate internal corrosion and blockage.

Check all exhaust systems for coolant or gas leaks. You should also note the temperature of the stuffing box; the higher it is above ambient temperature, the more urgent the need for attention.

While underway, inspect stuffing boxes, dripless shaft seals and rudder glands for leaks. It’s not unusual for rudder glands to be dry at the dock

The engine room and in the bilge are two places potential buyers can check for leaks, unwanted odors, and excessive or unwanted vibration. Checking before and after a test drive can be enlightening.

While the boat is running at maximum speed, verify that the actual speed matches the advertised speed. This is also the time to look and listen for any unusual sights and sounds.

but leak while the vessel is underway.

Check the shaft for vibration or wobble. If there’s visible wobble, you can get a rough idea of how bad the problem is by touching the top of the gear box — if you can feel it there too, the issue needs to be corrected sooner rather than later.

If there’s an engine manual on board, note the manufacturer’s maximum recommended rpm. Then, after the engine has warmed up a bit, ask that it be run at full throttle for a short distance. The rpm at wide-open throttle should be within about 100 of the specs (depending on the engine). A maximum rpm higher than recommended could mean the prop is too small,

while a slower rpm could indicate a prop that’s too large in pitch, diameter or both.

While the boat is running at maximum speed, verify that the actual speed matches the advertised speed. This is also the time to look and listen for any unusual sights and sounds — burning smells, smoke, vibration, excessive broker sweating.

As you can see, there are plenty of things you can do to make a test sail productive, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time as well. You can still listen to the raucous tales of the owner or broker — just tell them to hold off on the margaritas until after the work is done.

CEAN CRUISING CAN BE A DANGEROUS ENDEAVOR, so it’s no wonder some people install as much safety protection as money can buy. Emergency position indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs), personal location devices (PLBs), flares and escape pods are among many available products that can save lives when catastrophe strikes.

Determining what is overkill and what is essential probably depends on the size of one’s wallet, but being too safe on the water simply isn’t possible.

Secret chambers, mini-subs for quick getaways, tracking devices and military-like security are now common on superyachts.

However, while technology has improved the odds of surviving an accident at sea, it’s not completely safe. A boat owner and his crew may have a decent blueprint about how to create and implement an emergency procedure, and Plan A is having such a procedure and protocol in place but never having to use it. You arrive at your destination safely.

But when the situation goes awry and everything that could go wrong does go wrong, you need to go to Plan B. Here’s Plan B.

Coast Guard Search and Rescue teams are very good at what they do, but EPIRBs and PLBs make their job measurably easier.

The Unexpected

Call them known unknowns and unknown unknowns. A hole in the bottom of the hull, a vessel catching fire, a boat sinking and a crewmember going overboard are some of the known unknowns. It’s happened to others and may not be unusual. These are the disasters that are covered and accounted for with patches and fire-suppression systems and life jackets.

Now, the unknown unknowns — nothing as farcical as a Three-Headed Sea Hydra lifting a 200-foot flipper and knocking the boat a half mile — are more difficult to anticipate and plan for. Rogue waves, for example, can hit a boat just right, capsize it and in seconds create a life-and-death situation.

It happens, and it happened to Jordan Hanssen, a world-class adventurer SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2016

Strength who has crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a rowboat, albeit a special one. His tale of survival began on a 29-foot rowboat — which had a cabin for sleeping — crossing the Atlantic from Senegal in West Africa to Miami with three other crewmembers: Adam Kreek, Markus Pukonen and Pat Fleming. After 73 days of incident-free travel, their boat was capsized by two rogue waves on April 6, 2013, 375 miles north of Puerto Rico.

“We had our Plan A, which was to get to Miami,” said Hanssen, 33, who lives in Seattle and is the founding member of OAR Northwest, which takes students on expeditions to bring adventure into the classroom. “We ended up needing Plan B. We got lucky as hell, but you prepare for luck. A big part of that was having the tools.”

Prepared

Hanssen had worked with safety products before, when he rowed from New York to England with three college rowing teammates in 2005. They were outfitted with ACR equipment, and when the second trip was being planned, Hanssen reached out to Charlie Bond, a survival consultant and an Alaska Marine Safety Education Association instructor since 1985. Bond is also a representative for ACR products.

“Charlie wrote up a comprehensive list [see Grab the Ditch Bag! sidebar] about the stuff you should have,” Hanssen said. “This can apply to any boat, and we were in a 29-foot rowboat and we didn’t have a lot of space. So before the Senegal-to-Miami trip, because technology has made several leaps, I asked him what to take in the grab bag, and he said ‘I would take a PLB, and another PLB, and another PLB, and another PLB...’”

Hanssen listened and equipped all four crewmembers with their own PLB. The way it works is each PLB is registered for free with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A PLB is still going to work if it is not registered, but registering it provides

44

SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2016

rescuers with identifiable characteristics about you and your boat, which greatly aids rescue operations.

Hanssen and his team each had an ACR ResQLink Personal Locator Beacon, which is a little bigger than an older style cellular flip phone. The PLB is monitored by a network of GPS and other satellites, and when activated the PLB transmits, at 406 MHz, a Unique Identifier Number (UIN), which is programmed into the beacon based on the country in which the beacon is registered. The rescue signal is sent to authorities no matter where you are on Earth, land or sea.

“Jordan had a plan, because the worst thing that could happen would be all four going into the water,” Bond said. “If they only had an EPIRB on the boat, then one of them would have had to make the decision to grab the EPIRB and activate it. Because all four wore their PLB, when disaster struck they were ready.”

So, what type of beacon should someone

use, an EPIRB or a PLB? Bond has a thought or two on that. “I recommend having the unit you will have in an emergency. If it’s an EPIRB on a boat that is by the pilot station, and everyone knows where it is and what it is, and can grab it in an emergency, then that is the right choice.

A PLB that is not worn, that sits in your duffel bag or berth, is not worth having. You have to wear a PLB all the time to make it worthwhile.”

Anyone ocean cruising — adventurer, recreational boater, fisherman — should strongly consider making an EPIRB or PLB standard equipment.

After activating their PLBs, Neil Laughton and James Bingham turned on their electronic distress signals to help Coast Guard helicopters find them and deliver them to safety.

Into the Drink

Hanssen said the two rogue waves came one after another, and were shaped like squares instead of triangles.

“The first wave dumped 4,000 pounds of water onto the boat,” Hanssen said. “One big challenge is keeping the cabin doors closed as we go in and out when making shift changes. These two waves caught us right in the middle of a shift change. The five scuppers could have drained off one wave. But the second wave undercut the boat and we were upside down.”

All four crewmembers were pitched into the water, and though the boat was designed to be self-righting, since the cabin door was open it was extremely unlikely that the boat could be righted. The sea conditions were 25-knot winds and four- to six-foot swells.

“Everyone is going to get to shore alive; that is how this is going to happen. That’s what I was thinking,” Hanssen said. “As the captain of the boat, after 10 or 15 seconds, I felt that people needed to know where we were. One of the crew asked me how many PLBs we would turn on, and I said all four.”

Three PLBs were picked up right away, while the fourth signal didn’t get picked up by the satellites until later because of the angle of the life vest and antenna.

“The rescue was textbook,” Hanssen said. “The U.S. Coast Guard responded like they should have, figured out what our boat looked like and flew straight to our location. There was no searching. They came right to us, but we were too far away for a helicopter. So we were picked up by a 585-foot Japanese car carrier, M/V Heijin. We capsized at 6 a.m. and turned the beacon on, and we were out of the water 12 hours later.”

No matter what happens, it is good to have a ditch bag at the ready. It can be a lifesaver in the event of a hasty exit off the boat.

C

HARLES BOND, A MARINE SAFETY INSTRUCTOR, compiled a list of items to consider for a ditch bag. And while no list can be considered complete, the most useful items included are those that would be used in emergencies or in survival training. However, most of the equipment is based on long-term survival, which might not be an issue for mariners with a properly operating 406 MHz EPIRB or PLB on board.

“If you have a 406 MHz EPIRB or PLB on board and you activate it, most rescues, if you are within 250 miles of the coast, are under four and a half hours,” Bond said. “You are talking about this being a comfort list as opposed to being a survival list.”

The ditch bag and your EPIRB must be stored where you can get them without re-entering your vessel. Some vessels mount their ditch bag, also referred to as an abandon ship bag, under the companionway ladder or in a deck or cockpit locker. You and your crew must train to grab the abandon ship bag and bring it with you in any emergency. It is safer to have to put it back when everything turns out OK than to try and grab it after the emergency has begun, especially in the case of fire or rapid sinking. Where possible, everything should be designed to be secured to the raft.

“Making everyone put their wallets and passports in sealed bags, so no one needs to go running for things in an emergency, is a very good idea,” Bond said. “You can also vacuum-bag hats, gloves and underwear down to the size of a waffle. These are great items to have in a raft.”

Bond recommends making a checklist, compiling the items and putting them in a pile, then buying a ditch bag that fits the file. “Don’t get a ditch bag and then fill it,” Bond said.

“It’s going to be too small or too big.”

Actually, Bond recommends having two bags at the ready: a ditch bag with items to make you feel more comfortable while waiting for rescue, and a long-term survival bag with items such as matches, fishing gear and knives, in case you have to spend a long time at sea or on land.

“In the ditch bag go what I call comfort items,” Bond said. “These are things that will make you and others more comfortable on the raft, so that you can simply step into the rescue platform in great shape and cut down on trauma.”

are activated each year in a rescue situation. About a third of those are marine, another third are on land and another third are activated by aircraft or helicopter pilots.

“What makes this system work is that it’s a global humanitarian search-and-rescue system,” Bond said. “Consumers can buy and register a PLB or EPIRB for free, the satellites are maintained by NASA and the registration is through NOAA. Rescues are overseen by the U.S. Coast Guard on the marine side and the Air Force and local sheriff’s departments on land. Then the entire world is carved up so other countries are responsible for your rescue. No matter where you are on Earth, someone will find you if the beacon is sent out and picked up.”

Built Tough

Having a PLB that can withstand harsh conditions is crucial, and the environs of Alaska can put any product to the test. For example, a McMurdo FastFind Ranger PLB lifesaving distress beacon helped the U.S. Coast Guard locate and rescue British explorers stranded off the coast of Alaska.

Neil Laughton and James Bingham are British explorers who set out on a practice 46

SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2016

McMurdo PLBs worked as they should to get Neil Laughton and James Bingham off the ice that trapped their kayaks (right) and back to Nome, Alaska with Coast Guard rescuers.

expedition to kayak across the Bering Strait. They had hoped to make the 26.6mile journey by cross-country skiing and kayaking but got stuck on March 5, 2016, when the ice became too thin to walk on and too thick to paddle through.

Laughton and Bingham were airlifted to safety by a Coast Guard helicopter as they headed for the island of Little Diomede, midway between the western-most tip of Alaska and the eastern corner of mainland Russia. The two donned survival suits but realized that they had three choices: continue on, be rescued, or die.

“We had no option but to set off the Ranger PLB,” said Laughton, referring to the lightweight, palm-sized unit.“Within minutes rescuers were alerted to our situation and received regular updates.”

Like all ACR EPIRBs and PLBs, the McMurdo FastFind Ranger features a built-in GPS receiver, which was a key additional necessity when the Brits’ satellite phone didn’t work. It meant that their location could still be pinpointed to within a few meters, so despite Laughton and Bingham “moving” with the ice, the 121.5 MHz secondary homing transmitter meant

that once SAR teams were in the vicinity, they were able to home in on the paddlers’ exact location and rescue them.

“Fortunately, the two survivors were well prepared with a personal locator beacon, which made locating them easier for my crews,” said Capt. Mark Morin, commanding officer of Alaska’s Air Station Kodiak.

“Adding GPS gives search-and-rescue people a lot of confidence,” Bond said. “It helps really pinpoint your location. An example would be that not only does it know you are in a baseball stadium, but with the GPS it knows you are between first and third base.”

Anyone ocean cruising — adventurer, recreational boater, fisherman — should strongly consider making an EPIRB or PLB standard equipment, because while both of these stories involved much smaller vessels, both ACR and McMurdo have tales of boaters rescued after their 40- or 50-foot boat went down or became disabled.

Unfortunately, no yacht is immune, and it’s

so easy to add this extra layer of protection.

“The technology is dialed in to a point that you are being irresponsible if you do not have one of these,” Hanssen said. “The cost is between $250 and $350 for a PLB ($300 to $500 for an EPIRB), and the level of insurance that these provide is unreal.”

No matter where you are on Earth, someone will find you if the beacon is sent out and picked up.

CRUISERS 54 CANTIUS A CONTEMPORARY DESIGN SPICES UP THE LATEST FAMILY MEMBER.

C

RUISERS YACHTS FOUND success with its Cantius line, which it announced and rolled out about five years ago. The sleek lines and contemporary interiors have struck a chord with buyers, and the line has grown to include five models, the latest of which is the 54 Cantius. Meant to bridge the gap between the 48 and the 60, the 54 takes its cues from the 60, with its swept-back windshield, its huge amidships hull window that’s bisected by a stainless steel bar that adds visual interest to the hull side, its adjustable sunpads on the bow and much more.

Like its larger stable mate, the 54 has a focus on entertaining, and it’s laid out to accommodate crowds. The cockpit is large and includes a settee on the transom and two barstools at the bar that also serves as the aft counter in the galley. A grill occupies the forward port corner. With the door open and the power window lowered, the cockpit and main cabin are one seamless space on one level. A retractable sunroof almost spans the hardtop and opens about half of the top to the elements. It’s a great feature on the 60 that migrated to the 54.

Two settees sit forward of the galley, which is two separate areas that span the cabin. A love seat is starboard, while a C-shaped settee is to port around a dining table with room for four to eat comfortably.

The doublewide helm seat is forward of the love seat.

The master is a full-beam retreat that 48

includes a breakfast nook with cushioned seating for two, a media center with a built-in flat-screen TV, a walk-in closet and an en suite head a full walk-in shower stall. The VIP stateroom is in the bow and has private access to the second head and shower, and a third stateroom is to starboard. A second, more intimate salon is at the base of the steps from above and includes a retractable TV and a sofa.

The helm reflects the yacht’s contemporary look and feel. The glass bridge includes two large low-profile multifunction displays on a black dash, the IPS joystick, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the cream-colored captain’s seat contrasts with the dark wood, dash and window frames.

Cruisers Yachts keeps growing its Cantius line and evolving the look within it, and the 54 benefits from all the experimentation.

The interior of the Cruisers 54 Cantius is contemporary, open, functional and eye-catching.

Dark wood mingles with light upholstery and countertops, and sleek, teardrop-shaped side windows add visual interest from inside and out.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY DEANE HISLOP

LOCATED ONLY 33 NAUTICAL MILES from Anacortes and 29 miles from Roche Harbor, Blaine is within easy cruising distance of the San Juan and Gulf islands. Established in the mid-19th century as a seaport for the fishing and logging industries, Blaine is a seaside village steeped in history that includes a main street lined with turn-of-the-century lampposts adorned with colorful hanging baskets and a state-of-the-art marina.

Known as the Peace Arch City, its most obvious claim to fame is the white Peace Arch monument that straddles the U.S./Canadian border on the 49th parallel. Built in 1912, the arch commemorates the 100th anniversary of the end of the War of 1812 between the U.S. and Great Britain. It stands 67 feet tall and is fitted with two iron gates that are left

A gravel path winds its way to the Blaine Public Pier 4 at the end of the peninsula through the waterside greenway, a popular spot for fishermen to cast their lines and patiently wait for a bite. During crab season, folks line up to toss their traps over the side, too, in hopes of Dungeness crab for dinner.

Returning to the marina along the south boardwalk, you’ll pass commercial fishing and marine businesses where fisherman sell their fresh catch.

DON’T TAP OUT IN THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS

SOMETIMES BOATERS CAN FORGET THEY NEED TO MIND THEIR BOTTOM. IN WASHINGTON STATE, NORTH OF Seattle, west of Anacortes and in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, lie the very popular San Juan Islands. This galaxy of 170 enchanting islands offers boaters safe and protected waters, seaside villages, state and county marine parks, anchorages, and historic sites.

Thousands of boaters visit these charming islands yearly, but navigating the islands doesn’t go without its hazards.

Every year a handful of boats of all sizes tap the bottom or, worse, go aground, doing damage to the boat, the owner’s pride and spoiling what should be an enjoyable time in the islands. What the hazards have in common is they’re not visible from the surface; therefore, the area PNW-8 SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2016

or passage appears to be safe for transit. A quick review of the chart would reveal that this is far from the truth.

In no particular order are the following dozen hazards that tag unsuspecting boaters year after year.

BIRD ROCKS You wouldn’t think well-marked and highly visible Bird Rocks in southeast

Rosario Strait would be a hazard, but I’m aware of two 50-foot pleasure vessels that ran aground, a week apart, in the area last summer. The rocks are surrounded by shallow water and rock pinnacles on the west side. One can only assume they were trying to get a close look at the seabirds and seals on the rocks.

LOPEZ PASS Prudent boaters stay well off the shallow Lopez Island shoreline, when entering from Rosario Strait, until they are lined up for a southwest approach to the pass.

Cautious skippers will maintain a southwesterly course until passing R “4” buoy

NOMAR BUMPERS ®

Nomar® Bumpers are a softmounted bumper which absorbs impact and allows you to slide in and out of your slip with NO FRICTION, DRAG OR MARRING of your hull.

This makes for a safer & less stressful docking experience by allowing everyone to stay on board. Nomar® Bumpers eliminate the need for fenders & are perfect for tight docking situations and narrow slips. They also allow the vessel closer to the dock for easier and safer boarding.

marking Ra Reef to starboard before turning to the north.

CATTLE PASS Many boaters cruising to the San Juans from the south chart a passage from Deception Pass to Cattle Pass. Boaters should

avoid getting too close to the southeast shore of Lopez Island. The many reefs and rocks in the area provide ample opportunity to tap bottom. Staying a distance offshore and turning directly into Cattle Pass provides a safe entrance into the islands.

TURN ISLAND Turn Island is a beautiful marine park east of Friday Harbor, but visitors must exercise caution when securing the most southern park buoy on the west side of the island. At high tide, all appears safe and tranquil, but approximately 35 yards south lies a large rock awaiting unsuspecting skippers. The rock is noted on the chart and is visible during low water.

FISHERMAN BAY, LOPEZ ISLAND Across San Juan Channel is charming Fisherman Bay and village. Entering the bay through the narrow and shallow access is not without its hazards, requiring caution but not paranoia.

The first hazard is a rock below the surface that lies to port just before the entrance. At a zero tide there is only 9 feet of water in the channel entrance and the anchorage. The narrow channel is well marked but the charted rock at the entrance is not. A lack of vigilance catches more than a few boats each season.

BLIND BAY Blind Bay, a large protected bay indenting the northern shore of Shaw Island, is a convenient anchorage in the heart of the San Juan Islands. Tiny Blind Island in the center of the entrance of the bay is a marine state park.

The entrance route we prefer passes carefully to the east of Blind Island, favoring the island shore and avoiding a dangerous rock 150 yards southeast of the island. The rock is marked with a day-beacon and dries at a 3-foot tide.

Entrance can be accomplished via the west side of Blind Island, and it’s a seemingly unobstructed passage during high tide but not PNW-10

recommended. A large unmarked shoaling area lies just northwest of the island, making this approach hazardous.

POLE PASS The hazards of Pole Pass are located on the northwest side of the pass; shoaling water and numerous rocks lie along the north shore of Crane Island.

WASP PASSAGE The Wasp Passage area appears to be a route of safe passage from the surface and looks easy to navigate when reviewing the chart, but it’s riddled with hazards and requires an unmarked serpentine course for safe passage. The most infamous spots are the rock-strewn area southwest of Yellow Island and Shirt Tail Reef. Red Nun “4” south of Yellow Island marks the southern end of the rock-littered west side. Taking a shortcut inside the marker or running too close to the west side of the island has provided many boaters an unforgettable experience.

To the south is Shirt Tail Reef, and

although the reef is marked, it has claimed a few unsuspecting boaters.

The safest passage through the area is to pass south of Crane and Cliff islands. The route seems narrow, especially when sharing it with a state ferry, but is well marked.

There is good reason why the ferry system

uses this course rather than transiting north of Cliff Island.

PREVOST HARBOR, STUART ISLAND Prevost Harbor on the north shore of Stuart Island is a beautiful anchorage

popular with boaters, but it doesn’t come without its demons. The safest entrance to Prevost Harbor is between Charles Point and Satellite Island. Several well-charted shoals lurk beneath the surface once in the harbor, and boaters tempted to take shortcuts may find themselves unhappily sitting high and dry on the rock waiting for high tide. To enter the harbor safely, proceed at no-wake speed toward the shore opposite the entrance until you are comfortably on a line down the middle of the harbor, then turn to port and proceed in mid-harbor until you’re off the park float. Don’t try to head directly from the entrance to the float, as tempting as it may look at high water.

Only a serious rock hound would attempt entering the harbor through the drying rocks and shallow water on the east side of Satellite Island. I have witnessed more than one skipper pay the price.

JOHNS PASS Johns Pass, between Johns and Stuart islands, is not problematic to transit. Even

between Ewing Island and Stone Reef, which is marked with a white can. Visitors want to favor the Ewing Island side of the passage. Submerged rocks extend northwest of the marker and there is an underwater rise between this mark and the southeast tip of Ewing Island.

MOSQUITO PASS

so, many boaters run into trouble in waters south of the pass, off the southeast tip of Stuart Island. There is a reef that extends well across what would seem to be a safe course.

EWING COVE, SUCIA ISLAND Ewing Cove lies north of popular Echo Bay, surrounded by Ewing Island, Cluster Islands and Stoney Reef. It is a spectacular moorage with sandstone sculptures exposed at low tide. It also has a tricky entrance.

The safest entrance is from the east

Mosquito Pass connects Roche Harbor and Haro Strait. It’s narrow enough and meanders even more to make it interesting; tidal currents must be considered most of the time. The narrow navigation channel snakes through what appears to be a wide, safe passage between Henry and San Juan Islands. The passage is not difficult if you’re vigilant, follow the navigational aids marking the curving channel and don’t cut any corners. Sounds like basic straightforward navigation, but you would be surprised how many boats cut the corners and run aground.

Enjoying the San Juan Islands requires caution and awareness, but not paranoia.

Relax – you’re on “island time.”

OWNER OF SNUG HARBOR RESORT, FRIDAY HARBOR, WASH. IN 2015, SNUG HARBOR RESORT completed the last phase of its complete renovation. Located in pristine Mitchell Bay, on the south end of Mosquito Pass, Snug Harbor Resort is a place to appreciate nature and the great outdoors, and its marina offers 63 slips ranging from 22 to 60 feet. Currently, the resort is working on receiving the permits to rebuild and update the marina. The owners, Erik and Tamara Nelson, hope to start that construction in the fall of 2016.

that’s something I think we’ve accomplished. There’s really nothing else quite like it. It’s the whole package when you arrive that you’ll notice first.

Sea: If someone hasn’t been to the resort in a few years, what are a couple of the new features sure to make an impression?

Nelson: Between 2012 and 2015, the entire resort was rebuilt. Everything is new: new accommodations, new landscaping, and the resort as a whole has a renewed soul and character. When we redesigned the resort, we wanted a “wow factor,” and

What is the atmosphere of the resort? What type of guest stays there?

We see a lot of families in the summertime and more couples and groups of friends in the winter. Because Mitchell Bay is the backdrop, there is a very peaceful and idyllic atmosphere. Guests tend to congregate together and interact, because everyone is outdoors enjoying the grounds.

What makes your resort a destination within itself?

All of the cabins are situated on a five-acre waterfront parcel with a beautiful marina. Guests can use the kayaks and canoes or just enjoy the docks and the nature Snug Harbor is surrounded by.

We have guests that come from all walks of life and from all corners of the world.

What made you decide to move away from the original idea of a fractional ownership model to a resort that boaters will enjoy?

It’s always been a nightly rental resort, and we ended up continuing this wellproven operation.

What is a must-do when visiting Snug Harbor?

A quiet morning on the waterfront with your favorite morning beverage is a must-do. When the sun rises and the animals begin to stir, well, it’s something very special.

What authentic local experiences will guests

have access to?

The most popular attraction are the magnificent orca whales. Whale tours leave from our marina, but boaters will want to call in advance for a reservation.

There are also plenty of hiking trails.

Young Hill near American Camp is a nice low-impact hike with an amazing view of Mitchell Bay and the surrounding islands.

There are two historic national parks: British Camp is nearby and American Camp is on the other side of the island.

Tell us more about the ecological renovations you made to the resort.

We have a few different renovations that we did as part of the overall construction.

For one, the entire resort’s water supply comes from a reverse osmosis water system (desalination processing). We’re not using any water from the island aquifer; the resort is actually adding to it.

On-demand hot-water systems throughout the resort replace wasteful hot-water tanks. We have a collection system for natural ground water we store in a 4,500gallon tank to use for all our landscape irrigation.

Will boaters need to make reservations?

Reservations are recommended because many of the slips are on annual moorage with island residents. It’s best to reach the marina via phone at (360) 378-4762.

SEVEN AND SEVEN

ADVENTURER MARTIN FREY has made history by becoming the first person to have scaled the seven summits and sailed the seven seas, arriving in Seattle after a month at sea battling some of Mother Nature’s worst conditions in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. Frey, 56, who hails from Utah, crossed the North Pacific with the crew of the Visit Seattle entry, after 5,768 nautical miles from Qingdao, China.

Completing this race was the culmination of 11 years of global adventures spanning 35,000 nautical miles and more than 14 and a half vertical miles scaling the highest summit on each continent. Frey’s Seven Summits quest began in 2005 with Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro, and concluded with Antarctica’s Mount Vinson in 2012. He then set his sights on sailing the Seven Seas, beginning with the North Atlantic and ending with the Clipper Race.

OFTEN OVERLOOKED, SUNSET BEACH IS WORTH A TRIP IN ITSELF. ALONG PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY IN north Orange County is a wooden water tower that looks out of place and is recognizable from just offshore. It’s surrounded by a jumble of eclectic businesses between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach. That very recognizable yet hazily defined length of PCH is known as Sunset Beach, a long-unincorporated area of Orange County that was recently annexed by Huntington Beach. Despite this recent annexation, there is definitely a thriving and unique little community there. It’s a great place to visit and enjoy the simple pleasures that a timeless beach town has to offer.

MOOR YOUR VESSEL Huntington Harbour is Sunset Beach’s

backyard (the Pacific Ocean is the front yard), and within the harbor are two marinas for visiting boaters. Sunset Aquatic

Marina 1 has guest slips and all the amenities in a park-like setting and serves Anaheim Bay, Huntington Beach, Sunset Beach and Seal Beach. Modern berths accommodate vessels from 18 to 100 feet and is located just south of the pristine Seal Beach Wildlife Refuge. Across the way, Peter’s Landing Marina 2 offers modern concrete docks, slips to 96 feet LOA and guest mooring available by reservation.

There are 16 restaurants within walking distance of the marina.

THE TOWER One of the most recognizable landmarks in Sunset Beach is the 89-foot-tall water tower 3 that has been rooted there since 1940. In the 1980s, a local physician converted it into a luxurious three-level SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2016

Sunset Beach offers a host of boating opportunities, from the canals of Huntington Harbour to the vast Pacific Ocean, using the smallest rowing craft or larger boats that line the docks at Peter’s Landing Marina.

hosts live bands and performances, as well as Paint Nite, when customers can enjoy a drink and some appetizers while an instructor teaches the crowd how to create a masterpiece on canvas.

ACT LIKE A LOCAL If you want to walk off a hearty lunch or just stretch your sea legs, a biking/walking path begins near the corner of PCH and Warner Avenue 7 . It goes all the way to Newport Beach, and it begins near the only free parking lot at a beach in Orange County (in case you’re driving to Sunset Beach instead of boating).

The beach in Sunset is one of the widest Southern California has to offer — plenty of room to spread out blankets and soak up some sun. The waves there aren’t the biggest around, but a lack of crowds and proximity to so many restaurants definitely make up for that. There are also several local SUP and kayak rentals available, so you can explore the canals up close and personal. Prices are reasonable, and boards and kayaks are usually available even on CA-4

Antiques of the Sea 8 has a 40-year collection of authentic nautical and marine antiques and collectibles. It is open Friday through Sunday for shopping and general marveling at what is virtually a nautical museum, featuring vintage treasures from the tiniest compass to a massive ship’s cannon.

Sunset Beach offers a small-town vibe amidst the bigger, more tourist-driven cities it’s surrounded by. It’s a beach town for beach people worth a stop when you are passing through be it by boat or by car.

MEET ROBERT SCHWEMMER WEST COAST REGIONAL MARITIME HERITAGE COORDINATOR FOR NOAA’S OFFICE OF NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARIES

ROBERT SCHWEMMER COORDINATES MARITIME HERITAGE activities for the five national marine sanctuaries along the Pacific West Coast, which is approximately 14,000 square miles of seafloor. He conducts historic research and archaeological surveys using various methods to gather data, including scuba divers, manned submersibles, remotely operated vehicles and autonomous underwater vehicles. He shares his research with the public through outreach events and the development of exhibits for learning centers and museums. A recent survey led to the discovery of a long-lost U.S. Navy vessel that disappeared without a trace in 1921, taking 56 officers and sailors down with it.

SEA: Could you tell us a bit about the history of USS Conestoga?

Schwemmer: USS Conestoga (AT 54), was originally built as the civilian tugboat Conestoga at the Maryland Steel Co. at Sparrows Point, Baltimore, Md., for its owner, Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Co. Newspaper headlines reported it was one of the largest and most powerful seagoing tugboats on the Atlantic Ocean.

The launching was so newsworthy, Marine Engineering, in August 1904, featured story and included the ship’s plans and detailed information on the tugboat’s construction that was useful in the ROV surveys in September 2014 and October 2015 aboard the research vessel Fulmar in Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.

Conestoga was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy in 1917 for military service during World War I. It was converted into an armed tug to support the Allied war effort at home and abroad in the Atlantic. Conestoga was assigned to the submarine force and was engaged in towing duties along with transporting supplies and serving as an escort for convoys headed to Bermuda and the Azores. For a brief time, it was also stationed in the Azores where it helped patrol the surrounding waters for German U-boats, known as the first Battle of the Atlantic.

After World War I, the tug was reassigned to be the station ship for the U.S. naval station at Tutuila, American Samoa. After its outfitting in Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia, the tug transited to San Diego and then on to Vallejo, Calif., for final preparations for its trip to American Samoa via Hawaii. On CA-6

SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2016

March 25, 1921, Conestoga departed Mare Island, passed San Francisco, exited through the Golden Gate and was never heard from again. USS Conestoga is one of 18 U.S. Navy ships lost with all hands between 1780 and 1921 as well as the last of only four U.S. Navy ships lost in peacetime without a trace in the 20th century.

Was the search ongoing, or did a recent event spark new interest in finding the lost vessel after so many years?

The U.S. Navy conducted the first sea and air search for Conestoga off the Hawaiian Islands from the island of Oahu extending to Midway Atoll as well as off Lower (Baja) California where a whaleboat (lifeboat) with a single letter “C” was discovered — in total, some 400,000 square miles. This was the largest sea and air search until the disappearance of Amelia Earhart over the Pacific 16 years later. On June 30, 1921, the U.S. Navy officially declared Conestoga lost with her crew of 56. For the next 93 years there were no reported searches for Conestoga, including by NOAA. Conestoga remained one of the top 10 unsolved shipwreck mysteries, vanishing without a trace and believed to be lost in the deep Pacific somewhere off the Hawaiian Islands. In 2014, the first year of a three-year maritime heritage mission to inventory and survey ship and aircraft losses working on board the research vessel Fulmar in the Great Farallones National Marine Sanctuary began. Principal investigators include myself and James Delgado, Ph.D., conducting ROV surveys on multiple multibeam

and side-scan sonar targets, one of which was a likely shipwreck off Southeast Farallon Island recorded by NOAA’s Office of Coast Survey in 2009. We needed to determine the pieces of evidence that could lead us to answering the identification of this shipwreck. At the time of the investigation, three survey dives were made to fully characterize the sonar target; we determined the recently charted shipwreck was a 170-foot seagoing tugboat from the late 19th or early 20th century. After a check of my shipwreck database, we found no large steel-hull steam powered tugboats reported lost in Greater Farallones sanctuary, and it was labeled as the “mystery tug.”

What was most remarkable about the find?

What was really remarkable about this discovery is that after one of the largest U.S. Navy sea and air searches in the 20th century, the large seagoing tugboat had only made it approximately 30 miles outside the Golden Gate and remained uncharted for 88 years, and it took 93 years to identify the wreck. We can now honor the brave crew and their military grave site, bringing closure to their families who waited 95 years to learn of the final resting place within sight of the California mainland.

Today, family members are sharing photographs of their lost loved ones, finally putting faces to the long list of names. What an honor not only to share their story with the American people, but more importantly to share Conestoga’s final fate with the crew’s families, a story that has been passed down through generations.

DECK OUT YOUR BOAT WITH NEW MARINE FLOORING What were some challenges in accessing the shipwreck?

There are strong currents and low surface visibility during foggy conditions.

During the surveys, we are faced with both surface and deep-water currents, sometimes flowing in opposite directions, and underwater visibility can drop when the sea state worsens or after a storm. We “live-boat,” never dropping an anchor, so during the surveys the captain of Fulmar is constantly repositioning the vessel to follow the tethered cable connected to the ROV as it surveys the wrecks. When the current is strong or there are wind gusts, there are multiple adjustments that have to be made during the survey.

During the September 2014 expedition, we used a larger Phantom ROV to conduct the survey, but it was too large to survey the interior of the shipwreck. During the October 2015 expedition, we partnered with Teledyne SeaBotix, which provided a technician and a mini-ROV that allowed careful examination of the inner hull, including surveying a key diagnostic artifact that identified the wreck as Conestoga: the three-inch 50-caliber naval gun resting on a lower deck in the forecastle. The gun was a match to the photograph of the same gun taken on board Conestoga in 1921. Teledyne also provided a BlueView sonar that provided high-resolution imaging and measurements of the hull to get confirmation they were a match to the measurements noted on the original ship’s plans.

Any personal thoughts about the discovery after almost a century?

Conestoga isn’t just a ship. It is a tangible reminder of who we are as a nation. The crew of Conestoga represented diverse communities and cultures across America, united in a cause bigger than themselves.

When Conestoga disappeared it tore a hole in the fabric of many families that has lasted generations. Now that hole can start to be mended with the knowledge that Conestoga has been found in a national marine sanctuary, where it will continue to be protected by law and in turn provide sanctuary for marine creatures.

OPEN CHANNELS

THE NEW CHANNELS PROGRAM INTRODUCES MANY YOUNG PEOPLE TO THE WATER WHILE GIVING OTHER YOUTHS THE CHANCE TO BE LEADERS.

BY STEPHANIE SHIBATA

RESTING MY ARM ON THE bow of a RIB, I snap photos of students kayaking around some sunbathing sea lions. The cool breeze and salty air seem to put everyone at ease, and as I overlook the scene, all I see are smiling faces. New Channels program director Paul Zambriski is at the helm of the RIB, and I can see the twinkle in his eye as he tells us all to brace ourselves.

Moments later, I am holding on for dear life as the vessel begins to do donuts in the water. That is only the beginning of my day with New Channels.

New Channels was founded in 2004 by Zambriski, a seasoned sailor and longtime member of the King Harbor Yacht Club, as a nonprofit program within the King Harbor Youth Foundation, which itself operates independently from KHYC. The yacht club allows the youth foundation, started in the early 1980s, to operate on its grounds. The mission of KHYF, which New Channels helps it accomplish, is to provide access to the water for youth in the communities around King Harbor. Sailing programs, high school racing programs, year-round club racing programs, beginner sailing, adventure sailing and adult sailing are all available and are open to the public.

The summer sailing program fees pay for the instructors and equipment. New Channels programs are free to all participants, as funding is from donations.

Zambriski views New Channels as his pay-it-forward mission. “I’ve been given so much,” he said, “that it was only right to give back.”

Currently, New Channels operates during the school year, because that’s when high school student volunteers are most readily available, and groups are taken out on weekends. Participating groups are shown how to operate kayaks and sailboats and are given the chance to ride on a powerboat.

Later that morning, I find myself in The Flyaway, a small sailboat bobbing CA-8

SEAMAGAZINE.COM JULY 2016

in the waves along King Harbor’s outer edges, where I converse with three high school seniors about their goals and experiences and why they like the water. Alex and Vanessa attend San Pedro High School, and Drew is from Redondo Union High. Drew has been volunteering with New Channels for two years and is an experienced sailor. He tells me that sharing his favorite hobby with new people makes him happy and that’s why he volunteers. He demonstrates for us how to steer the sailboat, and I am surprised how responsive the steering is. Alex and Vanessa, from the Boys and Girls Club of LA Harbor (that day’s hosted group), both got into very competitive University of California schools, and Drew is going to school in Rhode Island in the fall. It is at this moment I realize I am precisely 10 years older than they are. I advise them to enjoy the rest of their time in high school, because time really flies once you finish. They are all so excited about college.

New Channels aims to serve a range of disadvantaged youth who normally would not have access to the water. All of the participant groups are from neighboring communities and, ironically, many of them have never spent any time on the water or been out on a boat before, despite their proximity. New Channels has hosted special-needs groups, such as autistic or deaf children, troubled youth, local boys and girls clubs, and local Big Brother programs.

The programs are geared to participants aged 10 to 18 but open to all. Sessions generally last about two hours and include activities such as sailing, powerboating and kayaking, three activities selected due to their varying sizes and modes of propulsion: sailing

by wind, powerboating by engine and kayak by manpower. Before each session, participants receive a brief lesson about the activity and how to remain safe while doing it, and the session concludes with a social period with the volunteers.

Sharing the water and making it accessible to everyone is the goal of New Channels, and Zambriski and his crew have succeeded in bringing diverse backgrounds together through boating. It struck me that the young people there to experience the

program were not so different from the volunteers who were administering it. All the young adults have a lot on their mind — school, tests, and choosing the right college — but it seemed as though all of that was brushed aside while on the water, and everyone was content.

The benefits of this program are twofold.

The participants get a lot out of the day by experiencing the water as they likely never have before, but so do the student volunteers who donate their time and expertise

to bring the hobby they enjoy to others who are less fortunate than they. The high school volunteers are critical to the program, according to Zambriski, because they bring a level of comfort and assurance to younger attendees.

I ask the participants and the volunteers what their favorite thing about boating is, and to my surprise, they all essentially say the same thing: It is relaxing and a great way to relieve stress and ease your mind.

That’s really what boating is all about—a chance to get away from stress, technology, and problems and just enjoy nature up close and personal.

We conclude our day on the water with a wonderful albeit choppy ride on a powerboat. I chat with Keith Angel and discover he is another member of the King Harbor Yacht Club. He tells me he volunteered his time to take this group of kids out on the water. We get a tour of the docks and cruise out to the open water. As the wind whips around us, we pass by natural oil seeps and gaze toward the horizon as we discuss, among other things, the future of Redondo Beach. He’s a local South Bay resident, and he said that buildings come and go but the harbor has remained basically the same for 40 years, and that it would be the same for years to come.

Programs such as New Channels are needed to give youngsters more perspective about different walks of life. Despite most of the youth programs that participate in New Channels being local, the water might as well be a thousand miles away for many of the youths involved. New Channels provides the accessibility to the water. As I recall my day spent with New Channels, I completely recognize and understand the joy that is so easily shared while out on the water. It’s an intangible bliss that the volunteers at New Channels wish for everyone to experience.

A LOOK AHEAD

Previous Findings

THE AUGUST ISSUE OF SEA typically includes a story about brokers or brokerages, and this

year is no different. Past stories have explored the characteristics that make up good brokers, the services and benefits buyers and sellers can expect from a modern brokerage, and how to look for and find a solid broker. For next month’s issue, Doug Thompson took a look at the reasons it can be pennywise but pound-foolish to try to sell or buy a boat without a broker’s help.

In our August 2015 feature, we find a couple of worthy tidbits.

• Promotion done properly is crucial.

Yacht brokerage houses know how to cut through the “noise” of ads and keyword searches.

• Clear title means smooth sailing.

One nugget Thompson uncovered was a story about a seller who priced his boat below market value, thinking he could afford to do so since he was cutting out the broker’s commission. When the boat failed to sell, however, and the owner had to enlist a broker, he found that he couldn’t raise the price on the boat, because a “value” had already been determined in the public’s eye.

Another more general example deals with buyers who try to go it alone. A survey, typically paid for by the potential buyer, can uncover structural, mechanical, operational and other issues. A broker understands which party should pay for what and why; someone going it alone might not know the nuances, which could cost him money or undermine a deal. Also, brokers are typically better at negotiating



than the average buyer.

In yet another example, a buyer sent a deposit directly to the seller’s bank account.

When the deal went sideways because the boat was not what it was represented to be, the buyer went to court to reclaim his deposit — and lost. A broker knows deposits are held in a broker’s trust account and the seller and buyer sign an agreement as to the deposit’s handling.

Find out more next month when Thompson’s feature will appear in full.

GOT A QUESTION? Please send your questions to: Ask a Broker, 18475 Bandilier Circle, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 or editorial@ seamag.com (please indicate Ask the Broker in the subject line).

Various liens and encumbrances can be placed on vessels, yet such impediments to a clear title might not be discovered until the end of the sales process. A yacht sales professional works diligently to make sure the buyer get a clear title.

Our 2014 feature yielded the following.

• You should meet and talk with several

brokers. See who you feel comfortable with and see how that person follows through and communicates with you.

• Do your due diligence and stay

informed and up to date on the type of boat, size, price, condition and the use of the boat you’re looking to buy or sell.

• One boater told us, “I wanted a broker

who would be able to say to me, ‘It’s time to walk away from this deal,’ meaning someone who was more invested in me making a smart purchase.”
