Ships AIS broadcasts draw GPS crop circles thousands of miles away from actual locations

SkyTruth photo

By LINDSEY GLASGOW

AIS data from Global Fishing Watch, Orbcomm and Spire shows tracks from five vessels circling near Point Reyes and San Francisco even though the ships can be confirmed to be thousands of miles away.

SAN FRANCISCO —An unusual pattern of false automatic identification system (AIS) broadcasts concentrated at one location, Point Reyes, off the northern California coast, has drawn the attention of an analyst examining vessel tracking data. The AIS broadcasts showed ships sailing in circles off the coast of San Francisco when they were actually thousands of miles away.

Bjorn Bergman, from SkyTruth and Global Fishing Watch, identified nine locations affected by these types of broadcasting signals and has been trying to figure out why these circling AIS tracks are appearing specifically at Point Reyes.

One of the boats, a crew boat traveling to offshore oil installations, broadcasted a normal track out of a Nigerian oil terminal until June 5, 2019. For the following two weeks the vessel broadcasted a false location track circling above Point Reyes and eventually veering off above Utah, during which time the track occasionally jumped back briefly to the Nigerian oil terminal. Other vessels were in Chile, Norway and Malaysia, among others.

Bergman said the AIS positions being broadcast over Point Reyes are obviously false because some of them are over land and they show a constant speed and oval pattern that a real ship track wouldn’t have.

“Still, it’s unclear why this location would somehow appear on AIS trackers,” Bergman wrote in a May 2020 blog post about the topic. “The fact that individual vessels in many different locations have been affected is puzzling and it’s unknown if any of these examples reflect actual disruptions of the GPS system.”

Bergman works with SkyTruth and the Global Fishing Watch research team to track vessels broadcasting false AIS locations and to investigate new sources of satellite data for vessel tracking and for detecting dark targets at sea. The AIS data and satellite information can also be used to find boats that may be fishing illegally.

Bergman analyzed the footprints of the satellites receiving the AIS positions, the location broadcast just prior to the jump to Point Reyes and then where the vessel reappears after the apparent circling finishes to determine the ship’s actual location.

Bergman’s analysis found some of the boats were near oil terminals or in locations where boats are known to have had GPS scrambled, such as the Suez Canal, while others were not. Bergman said it could be related to some sort of malfunction with the GPS device, or it could be deliberate manipulation.

“It’s tempting to speculate that there might be some connection to a major U.S. Coast Guard communication station in Please see BIZARRE, PAGE 16

Letters/Online Comments RE: “Fish market

could be on deck for Oceanside Harbor”

(JULY 10-23)

This is a wonderful idea for Oceanside! I remember my mother going down to get fish at the Newport Beach Dory Fisherman’s Market back in the 90s! She brought back salmon and swordfish wrapped in newspaper! Fresher than fresh! Let’s go for it!

— Constance Converse I think this is an amazing idea!!

It would help local fishermen, create additional jobs and revenue for the city, supply Oceanside residents and tourists with FRESH fish!!! Currently we have to drive about an hour to SD or purchase from a very small, select few restaurants that offer fresh fish. Just the thought of this makes me happy!

I definitely recommend and sup-

port this idea.. We need this!!!

PLEASE… Oceanside Harbors and Beach Advisory Committee, Support and Recommend this!!!

Our city NEEDS this!!! Thank you in advance.

— Christopher Caserta, Oceanside resident since 82’ WOW! What a great idea!

Coordinate it with Thursday’s downtown market and the public could be rest assured of “Fresh” fish!

FAST FACTS

Anthony’s Fish Grotto: The Good, The Bad, and The Pandemic

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SAN DIEGO —One of Downtown San Diego’s iconic restaurants had shut down in 2017, making way for the shinier, glossier Portside Pier (which just opened a few weeks ago, in the midst of a global pandemic). Anthony’s Fish Grotto certainly made its presence felt during the 60-some years it existed on the San Diego Bay waterfront. The restaurant, of course, still exists, with a location in the San Diego inland suburb of La Mesa.

There was some pushback – naturally – when the Port of San Diego announced it was going forward with plans to bring Portside Pier online – at the expense of Anthony’s Fish Grotto’s location next to Star of India.

But at least there was the La Mesa location.

The arrival of Covid-19 earlier this year, however, threatened Anthony’s Fish Grotto’s La Mesa existence. The restaurant’s owners contemplated a permanent shutdown the restaurant in May. A groundswell of support gave the restaurant a lifeline, and Anthony’s Fish Grotto has managed to keep afloat despite the pandemic.

“While closing permanently was certainly a major financial consideration, it wasn’t final, but most other options were not looking good,” the restaurant’s ownership said in a May 9 Facebook post. “Since the moment of our announcement our phones have rang off the hook.”

The owners held a beer, liquor and wine clearance sale May 6-9, and customers had

news briefs NATION/WORLD Sea Tow Foundation building database for life jacket stations NATIONWIDE—The Sea Tow Foundation – a national nonprofit dedicated to the education and awareness of safe boating practices – announced that it is collecting data from individuals and organizations around the country that operate life jacket loaner stations in an effort to create a national database of their locations.

As part of a grant through the Sport Fish Restoration & Boating Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard,

the Sea Tow Foundation operates more than 650 life jacket loaner stations nationwide. An online map at boatingsafety. com/map was developed and maintained by the Foundation of their loaner stations as part of this grant as well. However, there is not a national registry or map for all of the life jacket loaner stations operated by state agencies and other nonprofit groups around the country, so the Sea Tow Foundation included the development of a national-level database into this year’s grant and hopes to register thousands more loaner stations throughout the U.S.

cleared out the inventory by May 8.

“You all came and cleared us out,” Anthony’s Fish Grotto’s owners said in the May 9 Facebook post. “This showing of love has convinced Beverly and me to make all possible sacrifices and stay open for you.”

The restaurant is still open in La Mesa and offers outdoor dining.

Antony’s Fish Grotto traces its roots to 1946, when Catherine “Mama” Ghio, the wife of a fisherman, spearheaded the launch of the restaurant and used her “secret recipes” as the foundation of its menu.

The downtown waterfront location opened in 1960, and remained there through 2016, when the restaurant’s lease with the restaurant ended.

over the coming months.

Individuals and organizations that want to have their life jacket loaner stations included in the database can submit their information via the following link: boatingsafety.com/lifejacketdatabase. The deadline for submissions is Sept. 30.

“The purpose of the Life Jacket Loaner Station Database is to allow any boater within the U.S. to find a place where life jackets can be borrowed and returned, free of charge, so that everyone can have a safe and fun time on the water,” Gail R. Kulp, executive director for the Sea Tow Foundation, said in a released statement.

The Life Jacket Loaner Station Database will offer an interactive map for boaters to find the nearest Life Jacket Please see NEWS BRIEFS, PAGE 5

LEGAL ADVICE

ask a maritime attorney

By David Weil

Compelling a Release of Lien

QUESTION:

I bought a boat a few years ago and took over the loan payments from the previous owner. The deal was structured as a charter, where title remained in the seller’s name and I was required to make monthly rental payments until his loan was paid off. I made payments each month by depositing funds into a bank account that had been set up for this purpose, and the seller signed a bill of sale for me to hold until the loan was paid. I eventually paid off the loan and tried to contact the bank to release the mortgage lien, but they refuse to talk to me without a signed authorization from the previous owner. I need to clear this up quickly because I am trying to sell the boat, but I have unfortunately been unable to locate the previous owner. What are my options? I can’t sell the boat or even transfer title into my name unless the bank agrees to release its lien.

ANSWER: We can’t answer this question without scolding our reader for allowing herself to get into this situation.

There is no legitimate reason for a boat purchase to require the buyer to take over the seller’s loan payments, but it does happen. All boat loans include a provision in the fine print that will deem the loan to be in default if the borrower assigns the obligation to someone else without the lender’s permission. A buyer may want to take over the seller’s loan payments for several reasons, but the most common is the buyer is unable to qualify for a boat loan because of their bad credit score. A buyer

Different colored markers on a map will provide the exact address, the host organization for the station, and the name of the marina, park, boat ramp, etc. where it can be found. Life Jacket Loaner Stations are typically placed in locations where boaters will have easy access to life jackets, but they may also be available at local fire departments, community centers, and through the local marine law enforcement officers.

Wholesale boat shipments increases for second consecutive month in June

may also want to keep title in the seller’s name to retain a desirable slip in a marina or to defer payment of use tax. Each of these schemes either violate the terms of a contract or rise to the level of a fraud or a crime. But even if a buyer successfully navigates the legal obstacles, he or she may run into unforeseen problems years later, as is the case with our reader.

Our reader is unable to talk to the lender because consumer privacy laws restrict the information that can be shared by a lender with the public. The lender should have recorded a satisfac-

NATIONWIDE—According to NMMA’s latest Monthly Shipment Report, wholesale boat shipments increased for the second consecutive month in June, up 60 percent compared to May, as boat building activity ratcheted back up following lockdown restrictions during the early days of the pandemic response.

Compared to June 2019, wholesale shipments are down 5 percent.

“We’re encouraged to see that wholesale shipments in June increased across all segments.

Manufacturers are gradually returning to capacity and working to meet the height-

The former mast on Stars & Stripes is now in three pieces and the former racing yacht, which is now run as a charter boat, remains out of commission.

Large gust dismasts former America’s Cup racing yacht Stars & Stripes Stars & Stripes, which raced in the 1992 America’s Cup race, was out on a sailing tour on San Diego Bay on July 15 when an abnormally large gust of wind snapped the 112-foot mast.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW

SAN DIEGO —Former America’s Cup

racing yacht Stars & Stripes USA 11 has been out of commission after a gust of wind during a sailing tour on July 15 snapped the mast in two spots. No one was injured during the incident.

Stars & Stripes has taken people out on public and private sailing tours nearly 3,000 times over the past 15 years. Stars & Stripes Captain and Co-Owner Lynn Hanna said this is the first time something like this has happened.

“Just the wrong time, the wrong place,” Lynn Hanna said.

On July 15, Stars & Stripes welcomed 12 passengers and seven crew members onboard for the usual three-hour ride through San Diego Bay. The historic racing yacht was near the end of Harbor Island by Island Prime cruising from a wind out of the west blowing about 8 to 10 knots on a starboard tack when all of the sudden a loud noise cracked across the Bay. “We’re still a little shell shocked,” said Bee Hanna, Lynn Hanna’s wife, who was also onboard when the mast broke.

Lynn Hanna said all of the sudden, the wind shifted 30 degrees and an un-

expected gust clocking 17 mph broke the mast at the first and second spreaders and the structure came down into the water on the side of the sailboat.

“It was a very sudden, unexpected thing that happened,” Lynn Hanna said.

“We’re kind of going along nice and relaxed and then all of the sudden you get this huge gust of wind.”

Aside from that gust, Lynn Hanna said the wind had been consistent all day and the sails were trimmed accordingly, for 8 to 10 mph winds.

“It changes direction a little bit, changes speed a little bit but right here, all of the sudden, the wind went from 8 miles an hour to 17,” Lynn Hanna said pointing to about 3:30 p.m. on a chart of the wind from their location on the Bay on July 15.

A nearby private fishing vessel came over to make sure everyone was okay.

Within a matter of minutes, the 12 passengers were safely loaded onto the fishing vessel and taken back to shore. The Hannas were able to get the mast out of the water and to Driscoll Boat Yard, where it awaits its fate.

The insurance company came and

looked at the mast on Aug. 11 and will determine if there was some kind of preventable maintenance that could have been done to prevent the failure. The Coast Guard did a complete inspection of Stars & Stripes in 2016, which included an infrared inspection of the mast and the rigging had been inspected in February, with no problems coming up.

Stars & Stripes USA-11 is one of only a few America’s Cup racing yachts in the world used as a charter boat. The historical yacht was owned and raced by Team Dennis Conner in the 1992 race, which was held in San Diego Bay. America’s Cup was first contested in 1851 making it the oldest trophy in international sport, older than the modern Olympic Games by 45 years.

For the past 15 years, Stars & Stripes has been used for public sailing tours, private charters and team building events.

“There’s no question the boat is going to be put back together as a charter boat, it’s too valuable,” Lynn Hanna said. “It has a certificate of inspection from the Coast Guard, which takes about a year and a half to two years to get and costs a couple hundred thousand dollars.”

However, who will put it back together remains unclear. Lynn Hanna, who said he has been running the business as a retirement hobby, is ready to turn the helm to someone new.

“I’ve been doing this 17 or 18 years as retirement so we would like to turn it over to somebody else and we’ll let them put the mast on the boat however they want,” Lynn Hanna said.

The mast cost between $300,000 and $400,000 and an authentic mast from a boat of the same design would likely cost the same or more. Lynn Hanna said this design of boat was built from 1992 to 2007 and there were about 100 boats made. He added even if they were to purchase one of these masts, they would still need custom rigging since each boat was rigged just a little bit different.

Another, less expensive option would be to replace the mast with a shorter, non-authentic mast.

“The boat will be fine, it just won’t be as fast as the original,” Lynn Hanna said.

Lynn Hanna is hoping to hear from interested buyers before making plans for a new mast.

In the meantime, Lynn Hanna and his business partner will offer public sailing tours on IL Moro di Venezia ITA-16, another America’s Cup veteran.

The Italian racing yacht also competed in the 1992 event in San Diego. Over the past 15 years it has been used for racing events versus Stars & Stripes and for small team building events. IL Moro has a passenger capacity of 12 compared to 25 on Stars & Stripes.

Bee Hanna said they greatly appreciate the San Diego boating community and those who have reached out to them to offer well wishes.

“It’s just the history, she gets out there and it’s like the mother hen with all the chicks around her,” Bee Hanna said.

IN MEMORIAM: Lillian “Lil” Connally

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT VENTURA—Lillian “Lil” Mae Connally, the matriarch of Island Packers in Ventura, died on Aug. 4.

She was 87.

Connally was born in 1932 in Laton, California.

She met a 22-year-old Bill Connally in 1950 and traveled with him aboard an Indian motorcycle to Tijuana, where the two were married. The couple would settle in Granada Hills, where they raised four children. Bill Connally, at the time, was working as an engineering technician with Rocketdyne.

The family moved to Oxnard Shores in 1965, where Connally and her husband purchased Verna F, a sportfishing boat.

Three years later – on Mother’s Day – Verna F was rechristened as Island Packer. The Connallys set up shop out of a small travel trailer at Ventura Harbor’s boat launch ramp. Connally would sell tickets to customers, who’d take Island Packer to Frenchy’s Cove at West Anacapa Island. Connally’s four children – Mark, Kirk, Brad and Cherryl – served as crew; her husband did all the advertising.

Channel Islands National Park would be established 12 years later (1980) and Island Packers, according to information provided to The Log about Connally’s passing, “became the exclusive boat concessionaire.”

“Public interest in the islands began growing, as did the office, which moved onto Spinnaker Drive, next to the park offices. As boats came and went, Lil held fort at the office, often arriving with a crockpot of lima beans and ham hocks, or a tray of brownies,” Connally’s submitted obituary stated. “She packaged ginger cookies for those who might get seasick, and rented binoculars for better wildlife viewing for their customers.”

Connally was described as “kind and thoughtful,” with an “amazing pioneer spirt” and “lively humor” and “fun-loving personality.”

“Her pranks are legendary,” the submitted obituary stated. “Who else could get away with sabotaging the honeymoon suite at the San Ysidro Ranch during a friend’s wedding— short-sheeting the king-sized bed and lining the toilet bowl below the seat with saran wrap?!”

Island Packer trips to Anacapa Island are now helmed by Connally’s grandson Jason. She is also survived by her children.

LOCAL Scripps Institution of Oceanography partners with NOAA for unmanned systems research SAN DIEGO— NOAA’s Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) and Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego are partnering to improve how unmanned systems (UxS) are used to collect important ocean

observations and augment NOAA’s operational capabilities.

This 10-year agreement provides a framework for Scripps Institution of Oceanography and OMAO’s new Unmanned Systems Operations Program to collaborate on specific projects to further UxS research, development and operations.

One of the first projects under this partnership includes developing recommendations for the structure, staffing and training needs of the unmanned maritime systems component of the new OMAO program.

The project also includes the design, outfitting and testing of a persistent, unattended unmanned surface vessel with a meteorological and oceanographic data payload to collect operational data.

One reader of The Log stated our headline was “misleading and irresponsible” for including the phrase, “post-pandemic.”

“There are those who might believe (and want to believe) that the COV ID -19 threat the reader told The Log is over because you in an email. call it ‘post-pandemic,’” the reader told The Log in an email a few days after the lead story in our June 12-25, 2020 issue was published. “The title suggests the pandemic is over. I think you need to be more careful labeling these times. People are still getting sick and dying at an alarming rate. Anything we can do to underscore the seriousness of this needs to be done.”

The reader’s comment was submitted in June – shortly after many cities and counties allowed businesses to reopen. The phased re-opening, of course, was mostly rescinded by mid-July, as the Covid-curve started to trend dangerously upwards, according to public health officials.

Here we are in August – as mentioned above, no end appears to be in sight. Any estimation of when the pandemic would be considered “over,” allowing for some sense of “old normal” to return is speculative – and, to borrow from our reader’s comment, “irresponsible.”

San Diego County’s regulation on recreational boating, meanwhile, hasn’t received much media coverage, beyond The Log’s reporting. One local outlet, in early August, interviewed representatives of a few San Diego area yacht clubs about the order limiting recreational boating to members of a household. The story specifically stated the county’s order was a “ban” on “boating with friends.”

“San Diegans are prohibited from going on their boats with friends. It sounds absurd, but it’s true,” the outlet’s published story stated.

The county’s order specifically states: “Recreational boating on the ocean, bays, and lakes is allowed for members of a household. The managers of any of those locations may have their own restrictions.”

The county’s restriction actually applies to more than just friends of boaters – no one outside a household is allowed on your boat: friends, families, co-workers, colleagues, mentors, enemies, random strangers you just met, someone you are starting to date but doesn’t live with you, prospective clients for your business or job, and so on. (Keep in mind the same county mandate does permit K-12 schools to re-open, albeit at the discretion of local school districts.)

Whether the restriction is “absurd” is up for interpretation and debate – and outside the scope of The Log’s coverage. What The Log can share, however, is San Diego County’s rationale behind the restriction.

“The goal is to slow the spread of the virus and to make sure the healthcare system is able to care for all patients,” county staff said about the Covid-19 restrictions, including the one limiting those allowed to board a recreational vessel. “Since we don’t yet have a vaccine to prevent or medicine to treat Covid-19, preventing the spread of the virus to new people is critical.”

The Log did reach out to the Port of San Diego about enforcement – we specifically asked how the port district is enforcing the county’s order and ensuring the only people aboard any boat in San Diego Bay are members of the same household. A Public Information Officer with the Harbor Police Department was supposed to provide The Log with some perspective. The Log, however, did not receive a response when this issue went to press.

We will continue to follow up with the Harbor Police Department, however, and update this story online once they reply.

One reader of The Log stated our headline was “misleading and irresponsible” for including the phrase, “post-pandemic,”

SAN DIEGO COUNTY’S

BOATING RESTRICTIONS ar  still

IN PLACE A policy limiting boating activities to members of one’s immediate family has been in place since May, although news of the county regulation hasn’t been picked up by local media.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT

SAN DIEGO—It’s August. Covid-19 is still a thing. We’re still in a dark tunnel, with the light nowhere to be found. A pandemic that started in March is now on the verge of going on six months – and we initially expected this public health crisis to last just a few weeks.

The Log has consistently reported on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on local boating. San Diego County, for example, issued an order in May, restricting recreational boating activities to members of a household. This means recreational boating is allowed, but boaters can only be aboard a vessel with anyone who lives in the same house as him or her. You want to bring a friend aboard your boat? He or she better live in the same house as you, otherwise he or she won’t be allowed aboard your boat, according to the San Diego County public health order.

The Port of San Diego, of course, is going along with the order – it’s wasn’t the port district’s mandate or pol

icy to restrict who is allowed (and not allowed) on a recreational vessel.

Coverage of this restriction was covered by The Log in June and July. One story, published in the June 12-25, 2020 issue of The Log surveyed the Southern California boating landscape and pondered how long many Covid-19-themed restrictions would be in place.

“Post-Pandemic Boating: New Normal – But For How Long?” reported boat launch ramps limited the number of lanes open for boaters. Harbors and marinas prohibited social gatherings on docks. Raft-ups stopped happening. Social distancing policies were implemented everywhere.

OCEAN CONSERVATION BILL CLEARS COMMITTEE HURDLE Assembly Bill 3030, which proposes to protect at least 30 percent of state and national waters, now heads to appropriations committee despite opposition by boating and angling interests.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SACRAMENTO —A proposal to implement protections for at least 30 percent of California waters and 30 percent of the ocean off the state’s coast was approved by a committee in the State Senate, Aug. 12 – despite vocal oppositions by dozens of recreational boating and fishing interests.

Members if the State Senate’s Committee on Natural Resources and Water approved Assembly Bill 3030 (AB 3030) by a 6-2 vote, allowing the proposal to move forward to the upper house’s Appropriations Committee.

Several organizations have actively campaigned against AB 3030 during these past few months. The Coastal Conservation Association of California and Angler Chronicles regularly posted messages in opposition of AB 3030 on their respective Facebook pages. Both organizations were also part of a larger coalition of groups who wrote a letter to State Sen. Henry Stern in mid-July, asking the legislator from Southern California to vote against the bill.

Stern was one of the six members on the Committee for Natural Resources and Water to vote in favor of AB 3030.

The bill itself was introduced earlier this year by Assembly Member A sh K alra, D-San Jose. AB 3030, colloquially known as the 30x30 bill, would specifically require California to protect at least 40 percent of the state’s land areas and waters, while also advancing 30 percent of the nation’s oceans.

Organizations such as BoatUS, Sportfishing Association of California, National Marine Manufacturers A ssociation, Recreational Boating of California, Coastal Conservation Association of California and Angler Chronicles have consistently argued the bill, as currently proposed, is too restrictive of recreational fishing activities.

AB 3030 could cause fisheries to shut down, the coalition of angling and boating interests have argued. They also state California already has ocean conser vations measures in place: the system of Marine Protected Areas. Allowing AB 3030 to pass and become law, the coalition of angling and boating interests are arguing, would make (what they believe is) an onerous system even more challenging for recreational boaters and fishers.

The coalition’s July 17 letter to Stern stated AB 3030 is “not a bill identifying specific threats to biodiversity or deficiencies in California’s robust environmen-

tal framework.”

A statement issued by the Coastal Conservation Association of California stated AB 3030 lacks clarity, particularly in use of the term “protection.” “[AB 3030] uses the term ‘protection’ but does not specify what exactly that means,” the Coastal Conservation Association said in a published statement. “The bill also states that the current protections are inadequate but fails to specify why.”

Coastal Conservation Association staff added California already has 146 Marine Protected Areas in place and operating as fish habitat and national sanctuaries. These areas, according to Coastal Conserva-

tion Association and their allies, are “the most restrictive marine environmental policies in the world.”

A B 3030 would be even more restrictive, according to Coastal Conservation Association, by forcing fishing closures and taking space away from anglers and boaters.

“Fishing closures will reduce state revenues from fishing licenses and boating fees, and in turn reduce much needed funds for scientific study and fisheries enforcement,” according to Coastal Conservation Association’s published statement. “AB 3030 would severely restrict recreational activities at a time when more, not less, open space is necessary for the enjoyment of all Californians.”

The State Senate’s Committee on Natural Resources and Water conducted a legislative analysis of AB 3030 on Aug. 10 and acknowledged there is no uniform definition of “protection,” and use of the term in implementing various conservation-themed policies are conducted on a “sliding scale.”

“It is a complicated task to determine how much of the state’s land, water, and ocean resources are already protected, in part because there is no

one uniform definition of “protection” in state law. These and similar terms can represent a sliding scale depending on the types of restrictions and allowable uses, including the degree of human access,” the Aug. 10 legislative analysis of AB 3030 stated.

“Providing an appropriate definition for ‘protection’ under a 30 x 30 goal is also a complicated task,” the legislative analysis continued, pointing out the varying definitions of “protection” implemented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Center for American Progress and the South Carolina legislature (in proposing a similar 30x30 bill).

Implementing the goals of AB 3030 isn’t a straightforward practice, either, the legislative analysis pointed out.

“In some ways, the bill appears to be aspirational in that it does not provide much direction on how to achieve the goals,” the Aug. 10 legislative analysis stated. “There are no responsible entities, planning requirements or processes, interim goals or targets, standards or metrics to measure progress, or defined opportunities for stakeholders or the pubSee STANDING WATCH, PAGE 12

Portside Pier, a collection of restaurants on the Downtown San Diego waterfront, officially opened on July 28, the first major change at this space since the 1950s. Elements of the Portside Pier building were designed to represent San Diego’s history as a fishing town.

WATERFRONT FACELIFT: PORTSIDE PIER DROPS ANCHOR IN SAN DIEGO Quartet of restaurants on the bay pays homage to city’s fishing history, while also hoping to turn heads and offer something for everyone.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT S A N D IEG O —Change is never easy.

Sometimes the arrival of something new – especially if that something new replaces a piece of long-standing history – can often be met with hesitation, stink eye or rejection.

The arrival of Portside Pier, a quartet of restaurants officially open for business on the Downtown San Diego waterfront, has certainly been met with some resistance and non-acceptance. What used to be standing here – Anthony’s Fish Grotto – certainly had a loyal fan base. Portside Pier, in comparison to Anthony’s Fish Grotto, is the shiny new object lacking in substance and attractive only to the hip and the swanky.

The Unified Port District of San Diego, of course, viewed this prime piece of real estate differently. Antony’s Fish Grotto’s 66-year lease was on the verge of expiring a few years ago, and port district staff wanted to give others a fair shot to pitch what they could do on Downtown San Diego’s upper waterfront. The city, after all, has changed dramatically since the 1950s, when Anthony’s Fish Grotto was establishing itself as a go-to seafood dining establishment on San Diego Bay. Port district staff sought proposals for a redevelopment of the Anthony’s Fish Grotto site about five years ago. The port district received 20 submissions in response. The field was first narrowed to six, then to three. Each of the three finalists were local developers. Awarding the bid to a developer with ties to San Diego was important to the port district.

Also important to the port district: revenues. Wendy Siao, the port district’s program director, said the Port of San Diego isn’t tax-funded, so whoever won the bid to redevelop the Anthony’s Fish Grotto site would have to demonstrate

it could implement a successful revenue model.

Any winning bid would also have featured a gamut of public benefits, Siao added. Those public benefits came in the form of a dine-and-dock feature, top deck viewing area and public walkways around the perimeter of the building.

“It’s such a unique location, with a restaurant over the water,” Siao said of Portside Pier. She added the port district is making every effort possible to incorporate dock-and-dine opportunities on San Diego Bay, in order to “facilitate the waterfront experience.”

Brigantine ultimate won the contract to build out a restaurant concept at the Anthony’s Fish Grotto site. The restaurant operator pitched Portside Pier as a four-venue destination: Brigantine on the Bay, a seafood restaurant; Miguel’s Cantina, a Mexican restaurant; Ketch,

which offers pub fare; and, Portside Coffee, which offers coffee and gelato.

The 90-foot dock-and-dine dock could accommodate up to four boats at once (on a first-come-first-served basis), and there is a second-level perimeter walkway, which is open to the public. Also upstairs: an open-air viewing deck, which has tables and seating for as many as 108 people.

Portside Pier was officially christened on July 20, and the restaurants opened eight days later.

The Log visited Portside Pier on Aug. 6, just before the lunchtime rush. Introducing Portside Pier to the public during a pandemic might seem risky, but three of the restaurants (Brigantine, Miguel’s and Ketch) already had a waitlist for seating by 11:30 a.m. Capacity was reduced due to the pandemic, of course, so demand was destined to outpace supply early on,

Harbor commissions cancel August meetings WHAT HAPPENED: Two harbor commissions canceled their August 2020 meetings.

The two boards to cancel their respective meetings, specifically, were the Redondo Beach Harbor Commission and Small Craft Harbor Commission (Marina del Rey).

The Small Craft Harbor Commission had planned to meet remotely on Aug. 12,

but county staff, on Aug. 6, announced the meeting was canceled due to a lack of new business. Commissioners have only met twice this year: once in February and again on July 15. Meetings in March, April, May, June and July were canceled. (The commission’s July 8 meeting was taken off calendar, but commissioners did meet on July 15 as part of a special meeting).

Members of the Redondo Beach

especially on a sunny and pleasant summer day at a busy section of Downtown San Diego (Portside Pier is located next to the Star of India and across the street from a big brand hotel, so foot traffic in the area is certainly aplenty.)

Mike Morton, Jr., the CEO and president of Brigantine, Inc., told The Log the very design of his restaurant, which sits on the northside of Portside Pier, made it a little easier to open despite the Covid19 pandemic.

“We’re really blessed here with a lot of outdoor space. This dining room opens on three sides,” Morton told The Log during an interview inside Brigantine on the Bay, jokingly adding no one knew a health pandemic would coincide with Portside Pier’s opening when Brigantine, Inc. pitched the restaurant concept about five years ago.

Morton added his team at Brigantine, Inc. wanted to create something local San Diegans could appreciate.

“It’s right next to downtown, it’s right in the middle of everything, and it’s entirely over the bay – and, bringing the outdoors, in,” Morton said. “San Diego, obviously we have a great climate. Bringing the outdoors, in, I think we achieved that.”

Portside Pier’s design also paid tribute to San Diego’s fishing culture, Morton said. The design on the north and south ends of the Portside Pier building represent fish baskets. One fish basket is Norwegian in design, while the other is Scandinavian.

The zinc shingles in the middle of the building, where you’ll see the large “Portside Pier” sign, represents a fisherman’s net.

It still remains, of course, that Portside Pier represents change on the San Diego waterfront. Change, if anything, is constant – and changes will continue to be in store along San Diego Bay. The port district has several development plans in play for the San Diego waterfront, such as the Sunroad hotel project on Harbor Island, Seaport Village’s redevelopment just south of Portside Pier and the Chula Vista Bayfront development in the South Bay. Portside Pier is located at 1360 North Harbor Drive in San Diego. The restaurant venue was allowed to open “under the latest state and county health guidance for restaurants.”

Harbor Commission were slated to meet on Aug. 10, but that meeting was also canceled. The cancelation notice did not state why the meeting was being taken off calendar. Commissioners are expected to meet next on Sept. 14.

Four Redondo Beach Harbor Commission meetings have been canceled this year: April 14, May 11, June 8 and Aug. 10. Commissioners have been meeting remotely due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

WHAT’S ON TAP: Both commissions expect to

hold their September meetings. The Log will report on whether those meetings are scheduled and held.

City Council at their Aug. 4 meeting assigned two councilmembers to be part of the Harbor Commission’s Commercial Fishing Subcommittee.

Councilmembers Mike Jordan and Eric Friedman volunteered to serve on the subcommittee to assist the local commercial fishing industry in meeting their needs for increased shoreside space for gear, boat and cold product storage and the long term goal of establishing a Maritime Collective site.

“The goal today should not to be a bunch of supportive bobblehead dolls but to offer something tangible to this particular endeavor,” Jordan said at the meeting.

The council also unanimously voted to pursue three suggestions put forth by the Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara (CSFB): for the City Council to work with CFSB to locate a 15,000- to 20,000-square-foot facility for fishing industry infrastructure, to integrate fisheries and all local food in post Covid-19 economic recovery and provide Council oversight on those activities.

The actions came after a presentation from Santa Barbara Waterfront Director Mike Wiltshire on the needs of the commercial fishing industry. The Waterfront Department and Harbor Commission and its commercial fishing subcommittee have been working with CFSB over the past 18 months to address those needs.

One of the major dilemmas is the lack of available property in the OM-1 (Ocean Ori-

ented Light Manufacturing), OC (Ocean Oriented Commercial), and HC (Harbor Commercial). All viable areas are currently encumbered by long-term ground leases within granted lands operated by the Waterfront Department and nearby cityowned properties are fully subscribed for city needs which include wastewater treatment, desalination operations, fire training, and annex yard storage.

“Availability and affordable space for storage and processing is at an all time low,” said CFSB Executive Director Kim Selkoe, who also gave a presentation at the Aug. 4 City Council meeting.

About half of the OM-1 zoned land is city-owned. According to city code, OM-1 zoned land is designated for boat sales, storage, construction and/or repair; narine storage; public parking lots; sail manufacturing and repair; seafood processing and wholesaling; household hazardous waste collection facility and other ocean-related uses deemed appropriate by the Planning Commission.

“It [the OM-1 zone] is supposed to prioritize fishing and seafood processing uses,” Selkoe said. “It is fully occupied with almost no fishery-related uses right now aside from our 9,000 square foot boat yard.”

Mayor Cathy Murillo supported assisting with helping to locate property to meet their needs but raised concern about the city providing some of their owned property to a private entity.

“City land is subscribed down there and I would just be very cautious about allowing other private uses on it,” Murillo said.

CFSB’s long term goal is to create a Maritime Collective, a half-acre multipurpose facility providing commercial fishermen with boat, gear and processing space as well as office, meeting and shop space for emerging blue economy entrepreneurs.

“The Maritime Collective is basically a concrete plan to protect our fishing industry and diversify our coastal economy and importantly, it also satisfies the city’s obligations of the coastal act and local coastal plan to provide that adequate shoreside infrastructure,” Selkoe said at the Aug. 4 meeting.

IT’S BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD FOR FISHERMAN’S WHARF PROJECT Ventura County’s attempt to add 400 residential units to the long-desired revitalization of Channel Islands Harbor was rejected by the California Coastal Commission.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT OX N A RD —One financia l dow ntur n

already forced the planned revitalization of Fisherman’s Wharf at Channel Islands Harbor to be substantially delayed. A political back-and-forth between city of Oxnard and county of Ventura, combined with the onset of another economic recession, could result in the local waterfront being dilapidated for several more years.

Ventura County’s Harbor Depart-

ment filed a formal request to override the city of Oxnard’s decision to not allow zoning changes at Fisherman’s Wharf and Channel Islands Harbor. The county wanted to re-zone the area to allow for 400 residential units to be built at the waterfront district. Oxnard’s City Council, however, opposed the county’s proposed changes.

The California Coastal Commission, which heard Ventura County’s appeal on August 12, rejected the Harbor Department’s request to override the city of Oxnard’s decision to not allow a re-zoning for residential uses.

Oxnard’s rejection, accordingly, stands – and the entire revitalization project is now up in the air.

Some commissioners said they are generally open to considering proposals to re-zone areas in favor of residential uses, but Ventura County’s approach to forcing the issue wasn’t the appropriate means to achieve its desired ends.

The county’s Harbor Department spe-

Historical

cifically requested the Coastal Commission override Oxnard’s rejection of Ventura County’s plan to add 400 residential units at the Fisherman’s Wharf site.

Commissioners unanimously agreed with Coastal Commission staff: a request for override of Oxnard City Council’s vote to deny Ventura County’s plans to rezone a portion Channel Islands Harbor for residential uses.

The commission had approved similar requests only three times in its 40-plusyear history. Commissioners would approve an override of such a vote would benefit the greater good (and the local decision was not beneficial to that greater good). A city approving a nuclear power plant, for example, could be shot down if a county opposed those plans and sought to have the decision overridden.

The Harbor Department would have to have shown its plans to bring 400 residential units would be beneficial beyond the city of Oxnard, where Channel Islands Harbor and Fisherman’s Wharf is

Proposition 20 approval creates California Coastal Commission in 1972

 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA— After watching development swallow up vast swaths of land in the 1960s, and stunned by the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, a group of California residents galvanized support to place Proposition 20 on the ballot in 1972. A coalition of more than 700 environmental, civic and labor groups came together to form the Coastal Alliance, which

powered a grassroots campaign.

Senate President pro-tem Jim Mills led a bicycle tour, pictured here, of the coast from San Francisco to San Diego, stopping for press conferences and public events in coastal communities along the route. California Proposition 20, also identified on the ballot as the Coastal Zone Conservation Act, was on the Nov.7, 1972 ballot as an initiated state statute, where it was

located. Only in this specific, narrowly framed situation would Ventura County’s request for override have a chance of being considered.

Members of the Coastal Commission did not believe the greater benefit of the county’s plans were significant enough, beyond the immediate area of the harbor, as to cancel Oxnard’s City Council decision, which was made in November 2019. The issue, instead, was viewed as a local dispute between city and county.

Many commissioners stated they wish their decision did not come down to weighing the merits of the request for override, as the Fisherman’s Wharf project was, overall, worthy of moving forward. They acknowledged the area is dilapidated and in need of revitalization.

Approving the county’s request for override, however, wasn’t the ideal decision to make, according to commissioners. The decision effectively takes the Fisherman’s Wharf revitalization back to square one.

The Log will analyze the effects of the Coastal Commission’s decision and report our findings in a news feature story; the story will be published in an upcoming issue.

approved. Proposition 20 created the California Coastal Commission and six regional commissions.

It also authorized the State of California to regulate development within a portion of the coastal zone and to provide for the submission of a California Coastal Zone Conservation Plan to the California State Legislature for its adoption and implementation.

lic to influence the process. Little direction is given on how the state should prioritize areas for protection. The bill gives the administration broad authority to engage internationally with little guidance. “[AB 3030] gives the administration sweeping authority to implement this bill according to its own process, timeline, and priorities with no transparency or accountability,” the legislative analysis continued.

Lack of clarity now could open the door to AB 3030 doing more harm than good, according to the legislative analysis, as the goals outlined in Kalra’s bill would have to be accomplished by 2030 – which is a little more than nine years away.

“Given the relatively short nine-year time frame to reach the goal, a decision to delay a more defined process could negatively impact the state’s capacity to achieve the goal,” the legislative analysis stated.

Kalra and other supporters of the bill, however, say time is of the essence and something needs to be on the books now.

“There is an opportunity for coordinated global action, with scientists calling upon countries to protect at least half of the planet’s natural areas by 2050 with a step goal of 30 percent by 2030. California already is a leader, with around 22% of its land area protected and a globally recognized network of MPAs covering roughly 16% of coastal state waters,” the legislative analysis stated, explaining the position of the bill’s sponsors. “With AB 3030, California can continue to lead, setting an example for the rest of the country and the world.”

Santa Barbara City Council approves $10 million grant for operation of desalination plant The grant requires the city to operate the plant for 36 out of the next 40 years or the city could be required to repay the funds.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW

SANTA BARBARA—The Santa Barbara City Council accepted a $10 million matching grant to operate the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant at their Aug. 4 meeting.

The city was awarded the $10 million grant from the Department of Water Resources in 2018. Since that time, staff has been negotiating with the DWR over the terms of the funding agreement.

On Aug. 4, council members unanimously voted to authorize the city administrator to execute the funding agreement.

The Council also voted to direct staff to establish a dual purpose designated reserve for the desalination plant to fund capital maintenance and modifications and to mitigate the potential repayment risk associated with the acceptance of the agreement. Under the grant agreement, the city is required to run the facility for at least 36 out of the next 40 years. If not, they could be on the hook to repay the grant.

The reserve will be funded from a Water Supply Development Fee paid to the city from the Montecito Water District, as part of its deal to use desalinated water from the city. The target reserve amount is $7.5 million.

“Each year that we don’t operate we accrue $2 million to this account to pay it back and when we do that, we do not have to turn to our rate payers and ask for additional money because that’s already baked into our current rate structure, the operating costs of desal,” Santa Barbara Water Resources Manager Joshua Haggmark said at the Aug. 4 City Council meeting.

Just how desalination will fit into the city’s water portfolio will be determined by the Enhanced Urban Water Management Plan, which is currently being updated and is scheduled to be completed in July 2021. City Council members said that process will include the engagement of the public. The plan will be used to determine how often the desalination plant will be used and how it will act as a supply. Under the current plan, desalination is designated as a drought supply, however, the existing permits allow for a range of operating scenarios which could include non-drought operations and the plant has been in use since 2017.

“It’s also really important that we honor our promises that the desal usage is for a drought buffer and to not through the accepting of this grant or not to change that trajectory unless we have other information,” Mayor Pro Tem Kristen Sneddon said.

Several public commenters at the Aug. 4 meeting were opposed to the city accepting the $10 million grant.

“When City Council decided to reactivate the facility five years ago, you repeatedly assured the public and regulatory agencies it was a temporary emergency measure to meet a shortfall in supply caused by the drought,” Kira Redmond, Executive Director of Santa Barbara Channelkeeper said. “Now through a backdoor decision to accept a $20 million grant, you are obligating the city and its ratepayers to a drastically different scenario for the next four decades.”

The desalination plant was first constructed in the late 1980s as an emergency supply to address a challenging water supply crisis. Due to sufficient freshwater supplies since 1991, the plant remained in long-term standby mode for reactivation when water supply demand could not be met using all other available supplies including extraordinary water conservation.

In 2015, in response to exceptional drought conditions, the Santa Barbara City Council voted unanimously to reactivate the desalination plant. The plant began supplying water in May 2017 with a production of nearly three million gallons per day or about 30 percent of the city’s demand.

The capital costs to reactivate the facility were $72 million. Annual operating costs are estimated to be about $4.1 million at full production and about $1.5 million in non-operation or standby mode.

NEWPORT BEACH HARBOR UPDATE

Newport Beach Harbor Commission to review updates to Harbor Design Standards

Commissioners were presented with updated Harbor Design Standards to review; they were also briefed on a new oil recycling station for boaters and new mooring permit forms.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW

NEWPORT BEACH—The Newport Beach

Harbor Commission met on Aug. 12 and was presented with proposed updates to Waterfront Project Guidelines and Standards – Harbor Design Criteria, Commercial and Residential Facilities (Harbor Design Standards). City staff asked the commissioners to review the changes over the next month and return to their September meeting with any suggested revisions before recommending the document be forwarded to the City Council for review and approval.

The Harbor Design Standards provide a complete set of rules for marine construction, berthing layout and other general issues within the harbor for city residents, marine contractors and city staff. The standards are updated periodically as technologies or engineering criteria change or to incorporate other related policies such as sea level rise and bulkhead heights.

The most substantive proposed update relates to single residential use floats in west Newport channels. Public Works Administrative Manager Chris Miller said after consulting with dock engineers, city staff suggested removing the requirement of an 18-foot minimum distance between the backside of a float and the bulkhead.

The recommended change would allow dock designers and engineers to determine the appropriate distance to the bulkhead based on soil conditions at each dock. The change would not eliminate the farthest any dock could extend into the canal, which is 30 feet.

The topic of dock size was familiar to the commission, as just a few months ago, at their June meeting, they discussed

a residential dock reconfiguration at a property on the Rialto Channel on 36th Street. A major point of discussion centered around how far vessels were allowed to extend past the bulkhead line.

Staff also consulted with a professional marine surveyor who provided input and recommended updates to the tidal datum standard drawings for residential use platform sections, saying they were outdated and unclear. Tidal datums are used as references to measure local water levels.

The recommended updates to the Harbor Design Standards also included some formatting changes, including simplifying several drawings for clarity. The commission is expected to discuss their recommendations on the updates at their September meeting.

Also at the Aug. 12 meeting, Harbormaster Kurt Borsting briefed commissioners on a new recycling station coming to Veterans Memorial Park and new mooring permit forms the department has begun unveiling.

NEW OIL AND BILGE PAD RECYCLING STATION As part of a city water quality initia-

One of the most substantive proposed updates would remove the requirement of an 18-foot minimum distance between the backside of a float and the bulkhead for single residential use floats in west Newport channels. tive, the Public Works Department is purchasing and installing an oil drum containment system to provide an additional oil recycling station for boaters. The recycling station will be located at Veterans Memorial Park. Borsting reported some site work has already taken place including curb cuts and other minor concrete work.

Once operational, the Harbor Department will assist Public Works by promoting the new service to local boaters, unlocking and securing the equipment daily, as well as hosting occasional programmatic efforts, such as bilge pad giveaways.

This will be the second such harbor-adjacent location for used oil dropoff.

An existing drop off location currently exists at the Balboa Yacht Basin Marina.

“The city wanted to have different neighborhoods of the harbor covered,” Borsting said at the meeting.

Grant funds from the state cover the costs of collecting and recycling the used oil left at these stations.

NEW MOORING PERMIT FORMS Borsting also announced Harbor Department staff have developed an updated version of the on-shore and off-shore mooring permit documents, which reflect recent changes to the Title 17 section of the municipal code. The updated forms are intended to inform permittees of various harbor rules that apply to their mooring permits and also include expanded point-of-contact information fields, allowing for multiple permittee telephone numbers, email addresses, and emergency contacts – to aid in reaching boat owners in the event an issue arises that requires their attention. The roll out of the updated permit forms started in August and will first focus on collecting up-to-date information from on-shore mooring permittees, followed by the offshore mooring permittees.

Ocean Institute to host virtual Maritime Festival

By LINDSEY GLASGOW DANA POINT—The Ocean Institute in Dana

Point has partnered with maritime museums and vessels from around the world to host the first ever Virtual Maritime Festival. The interactive and educational event features challenges and a three-day global stream marathon Sept. 11-13.

The event replaces the annual Tall Ships Festival, as Covid-19 related restrictions continue to prohibit large public gatherings.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with

maritime museums and vessels from around the world to present this exciting streaming event during such extraordinary times,” Ocean Institute’s president and CEO Wendy Marshall said in a released statement. “As they say, ‘a rising tide lifts all boats.’”

From Sept. 11 through 13, attendees can tune in for interactive and educational virtual experiences from maritime establishments from around the globe.

The virtual event will include live and pre-recorded content including maritime reenactments and cannon bat-

tles, mermaid encounters, sea shanties, music and a sail cargo transporting coffee through the Costa Rican jungle. The virtual event is free to all participants.

A highlight of the three-day event will be featured as a Buccaneers Video Game Challenge utilizing an icon representing The Pilgrim, Ocean Institute’s former full-sized replica of the 1830’s merchant ship detailed in the classic novel, “Two Years Before the Mast,” which sank earlier this year.

Participating oceanic institutions include Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney; the United Kingdom’s Island Trust; San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park; Lady Washington vessel in Washington; Polynesian Voyaging Society, Hawaii; Mystic Seaport Museum, Connecticut; and much more.

The event also features two challenges that began Aug. 15 and run through Sept. 10. Runners, walkers, paddleboarders and more are invited to sign up for the “Move Your Booty Challenge” and get moving for the chance to win prizes.

Proceeds from this event will support Ocean Institute’s programs at Children’s Hospital Orange County.

A second festival challenge, “Art Aboard,” lets participants select a challenge from a “Sea Chest of Projects” to express their creativity through art.

From sand sketching to sculpting an urchin, participants post their masterpieces online in a competition that highlights the beauty of the sea with prizes given for various categories.

Both challenges run through Sept. 10.

Challenge signups and a full schedule of events are available at ocean-institute. org/maritime-festival-details.

“The Twelve Days of Christmas” is the theme for this year’s San Diego Bay Parade of Lights, which will be taking place Dec. 13 and 20.

The boat parade will go forward as planned this year, taking place on Dec. 13 and 20. Spectators will be asked to practice social distancing.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT

SAN DIEGO —It’s been a rough go, these

first eight months of 2020. Coronavirus has forced cancelations of regattas and limited boating and fishing activities across the state. The end of the year can’t come fast enough. This year’s holiday season might provide a glimmer of hope as the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights will go on as planned. The annual holiday-themed boat parade will take place on Dec. 13 and 20; its theme will be “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”

The boat parade will be celebrating its 49th anniversary when it kicks off on Dec. 13.

“Inspired by the popular Christmas carol, this year’s theme calls for participants to think outside the box and decorate their boats in a festive, creative way,” Parade Chairman Larry Baumann said in a released statement. “We encourage San Diegans and visitors to watch the lineup of boats decked out in vibrant lights and holiday decor at this one-of-a kind celebration this holiday season.”

The parade will start at Shelter Island and travel west toward Harbor Island be-

The parade then continues past the Coronado Ferry Landing and toward the finish line. The entire route will take about two hours to complete.

Those participating in the boat parade will compete for a variety of prizes and awards, such as best decorated boat and best representation of the parade’s theme.

“There are many comfortable waterfront viewpoints along the route,” according to organizers.

Those areas are located up and down San Diego Bay (and along the parade route). Those who choose to attend are asked to prepare for traffic and parking.

Spectators are also asked to maintain social distance, stay 6 feet apart from others and engage in safe viewing practices due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Possession of open alcoholic beverages and use of drones or other unmanned aircraft are prohibited along the parade’s viewing areas.

SkyTruth determined in this case, it was an actual disruption of the underlying global positioning system (GPS) — or more broadly the Global Navigation Satellite System — and not just a shipboard AIS malfunction. However, it was unclear if the manipulation was specifically intended to mask ship traffic or if there was some other reason for disrupting GPS.

If she is unable to find the previous owner, our reader’s only hope at this point is to file a lawsuit against the bank. The lawsuit would be for “declaratory relief” rather than a suit for monetary damages, which means that she will ask the court to issue an order to the Coast Guard to remove the mortgage lien. She will need to prove that she has an interest in the boat by showing her “charter” agreement

eSailor wins first-ever eSailGP event

Mike O’Donovan (bottom right) won the first-ever eSailGP championship. O’Donovan defeated Spain SailGP Team member Joan Cardona. The virtual racing event will return again in 2021.

Britain’s Mike O’Donovan edges Spain’s Joan Cardona in the inaugural championship.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT NEW YORK—Covid-19 has forced most of our worlds to go virtual: Zoom meetings, virtual office hours, online food orders and remote schooling. Add competitive sailing to the list of things now in the virtual world, thanks to Coronavirus and the Covid-19 pandemic.

SailGP events have been on hold this year, so the world’s best “eSailors” turned to their consoles and competed in the first-ever eSailGP Championship.

The seven months of competition culminated in British eSailor Mike O’Donovan beating Spain SailGP Team member Joan Cardona to be the first eSailGP Final. Cardona was one of the pre-race

favorites.

O’Donovan, with his victory, will have the opportunity to sail aboard an F50 in real life. He also qualifies for the eSailing World Championship Final.

Eight eSailors representing five countries competed in the eSailGP Grand Final. Each of the first three races had a different winner, but the two eSailors set to compete in a headto-head matchup in the final race was determined by the finishing positions of the last fleet race.

Cardona won the first position, with O’Donovan finishing second in the last fleet race – setting up a head-to-head matchup between the two racers.

O’Donovan earned his space in the final race after winning a tie-breaker with Greek eSailor Ioaniss Kokonias.

The championship match was a five-minute match race between O’Donovan and Cardona.

A summar y of the final race on SailGP’s website said O’Donovan forced Cardona to commit a penalty, allowing

the Brit to gain an early lead. The Spaniard closed the gap, however, making the race interesting until he hit a turning marker. The hit was another penalty for Cardona, allowing O’Donovan to cross the finish line in first place, wining the inaugural eSailGP Championship.

“It feels amazing to win. Even getting into the final was a major achievement as the competition is so high, but to then beat Joan in the final is really special. I have been practicing my match racing on the eF50 and I think that is what really paid off,” O’Donovan said in a released statement. “I can’t believe it and am especially excited to join Joan onboard the F50 in San Francisco next year. It’s pretty cool to have raced against him in eSailGP and then get the opportunity to sail with him. I can’t believe it.”

Dates and formatting for the 2021 eSailGP Championship w ill be announced later this year; also, to be announced are three invitational events.

The second season of SailGP is set to restart in San Francisco, April 2021.

Ventura Sailing Club hosts 16th annual Prison Break, Aug. 29-30 Racers will cruise the Santa Barbara Channel to Santa Cruz Island, then race back to the mainland.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT VENTURA —Here’s your chance to break

out of “Covid prison.” Most sailing and racing events were taken off calendar because of the Coronavirus pandemic, but there is at least one Notice of Race active on the Southern California coast: the 16th annual Prison Break, hosted by Ventura Sailing Club.

The Prison Break will be held on Aug. 29 and 30, as part of Ventura Sailing Club’s mission to “introduce and encourage people to take advantage of our great resources: the Santa Barbara Channel

and the Channel Islands National Park.”

Those competing in the Prison Break race will spend the first day of festivities cruising Santa Barbara Channel to Santa Cruz Island. Sailors will kike and explore the island before racing back to the mainland “in a fun and casual group setting,” according to the Notice of Race.

Contestants will also have an opportunity to practice “’pre-modern’ seamanship skills while ‘breaking out’ of Prisoner’s Harbor,” the Notice of Race continued.

“The plan is to do a ‘LeMans Start’ from the anchorage at Prisoner’s Harbor on Santa Cruz Island,” the Notice of Race stated. “Competitors will have to wait for the horn to begin hosting sails and weighing anchors. The race will be to the Mandalay Buoy.

“If there is no wind to ‘break out’ of Prisoner’s, competitors can row, kedgepole or tow (any method NOT using a

motor of any kind) their boats out of the harbor until there is enough wind to make sail,” the Notice of Race continued.

Pre-race festivities were already held at Prisoner’s Harbor on Aug. 9.

The 16th annual Prison Break is open to all racers, regardless of whether he or she belongs to a yacht club. The race’s entry fee is waived, both for Ventura Sailing Club members and non-members. A Captains’ meeting will be held virtually.

Changes to the sailing instructions will be issues on Channel 68; contact William Young at Ventura Sailing Club for specific details. His email is wjyount@yahoo.com; you can also call him at 805-205-0999.

Three classes will be available for the

Skippers must reach his or her 60th birthday by or before Dec. 31, 2020 to be eligible for this regatta; eligible crew must be 45 by or before Dec. 31, 2020, just the same.

The entr y fee for this race was $1,300; it’s unclear whether this fee would be refunded to anyone who might have already submitted the payment.

The International Masters Regatta was established in 1975, by a member of St. Francis Yacht Club. San Diego Yacht Club has hosted the regatta since 2012.

The regatta was not held in 2009, 2010 and 2011. San Diego YC won this regatta eight times; St. Francis Yacht Club is a six-time winner. Other frequent winners are St. Petersburg Yacht Club, San Francisco Yacht Club, Richmond Yacht Club and Royal Lymington Yacht Club.

Both regattas could return to the racing circuit in 2021, depending upon the status of the Covid-19 pandemic next year.

race: PHRF-handicapped spinnaker; non-spinnaker; and, if necessary, Orca.

Racing Rules of Sailing will govern the race. The sailing instructions will be finalized during the Captains’ meeting.

The racecourse starts from wherever each boat chose to anchor during the previous night, and, according to the Notice of Race, “anywhere within Prisoner’s Harbor inshore of a line extending from the end of the pier west to the point marking the north westerns extent of the harbor.”

“We will race back to a finish at the Mandalay Buoy, where competitors will make their own finish times using GPS time,” the Notice of Race stated. “All classes will start at the same time. There will be no other marks.”

Trophies and prizes will be awarded to first and second place winners of each class, depending on its size.

Eastern Sierra waters continue to receive fish plants

Hatchery closures forces state to implement a new stocking plan for summer freshwater fishing.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT

E A S T E R N S I E R R A M O U N TA I N S — California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife has updated its stocking plan for the Eastern Sierras, allowing trout to be planted in the region despite the closure of three hatcheries.

The closed hatcheries, which were located in the Eastern Sierras and Southern California, supplied trout to lakes in Mono and Inyo counties. Those hatcheries – Mojave River, Black Rock and Fish Springs – were forced to shut down after they were contaminated with a bacteri-

al outbreak. CDFW staff tried to treat those hatcheries, but the attempts were unsuccessful.

The outbreak led to 3.2 million fish

being euthanized. Each of the three hatcheries had to be decontaminated, as well. Euthanizing the fish and decontaminating the hatcheries were necessary to stop the spread of Lactococcus garvieae.

Staff with the CDFW Hatchery Program created a “Plan B,” which, according to a statement issued by CDFW, would “ensure that planting could continue in some capacity.”

CDFW staff acknowledged anglers were “understandably concerned about reduced fishing opportunity for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021.”

“CDFW’s multiphase stocking plan calls for the reallocation of fish from lower priority waters in other parts of the state to the highest use waters in areas normally planted by the depopulated hatcheries this time of year,” CDFW staff said in a released statement. “During ‘phase one’ (which began the last week of July and will run through mid-October), 16

water bodies in the Inland Desert and South Coast regions will be stocked with fish from the Moccasin Creek and San Joaquin hatcheries.”

The second phase begins in mid-October and will continue through early spring. Southern California locations would be stocked by the Fillmore Hatchery. Stocking will depend upon whether water temperatures cool down enough for planting.

Phase three will take place in the spring and summer of 2021; CDFW staff said the department would “address stocking for the trout openers and summer angling opportunities” during phase three.

The list of waters – and how many fish would be planted at each waterway – during the second and third phases is still being finalized by CDFW staff.

“The loss of 3.2 million fish is staggering, but we absolutely recognize the importance of these fisheries, and we are doing everything we can to minimize the impact of this loss to anglers and the communities that depend on them, while balancing the needs of the rest of the state,” Jay Rowan, CDFW’s statewide hatchery program manager, explained.

Hot Creek Hatchery near Mammoth, which was not affected by the bacterial outbreak, will continue to plant trout at its Eastern Sierra locations as scheduled.

The three hatcheries affected by the outbreak are still being cleaned.

CDFW staff said they hope to have all three hatcheries back online by the fall or winter of 2021.

Anyone who has questions or concerns about the outbreak should contact CDFW staff via email at hatcherybacteriainfo@wildlife.ca.gov.

Three NOAA surveys for West Coast Fisheries canceled

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT WA S H I N G T O N , D.C . —The Cov id-19

pandemic has caused NOAA Fisheries to cancel three surveys on West Coast Groundfish Trawl, California Current Hake Ecology and California Current Ecosystem, it was announced on Aug. 3.

“These are difficult decisions for the agency as we strive to meet our core mission responsibilities while balancing the realities and impacts of the current health crisis. Since March, we have been rigorously analyzing various options for conducting surveys this year and are taking a survey-by-survey, risk-based approach,” NOAA Fisheries staff said in a released statement. “After much deliberation, we determined that we will not be able to meet core survey mobilization and execution objectives for these surveys.”

NOAA’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center manages the Groundfish Bottom Trawl Survey. The survey covers the entire U.S. coast between the U.S.-Mexico border and U.S.-Canada border. This region, according to NOAA Fisheries staff,

“The loss of the 2020 survey data could result in increased uncertainty in upcoming stock assessments,” NOAA Fisheries staff stated. “We will coordinate with the Pacific Fishery Management Council for any affected stock assessments and leverage the long time-series data to provide the best scientific information.”

Northwest Fisheries Science Center also manages the 2020 California Hake Ecology and Survey Methods Research Cruise. This survey, according to NOAA Fisheries staff, had “planned to collect data and refine and enhance operations to prepare for the biennial joint U.S.-Canada 2021 Integrated Ecosystem and Pacific Hake Acoustic-Trawl Survey and conduct research in support of ecosystem modeling and management.”

“Cancellation of this cruise postpones, until next year, the required acoustic system comparisons between the U.S. and the new Canadian survey vessels used for data collection,” NOAA Fisheries staff said in a released statement. “We are developing contingencies to ensure the consistency of the Pacific hake time series.”

L.A. company wins NOAA award for detection technology SafetySpect Inc. received nearly $150,000 for its development of fish quality detection tech.

By PARIMAL M.ROHIT LOS ANGELES —The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOA A) awarded Los Angeles-based SafetySpect Inc. a grant to continue making advances with its new technology. SafetySpect is developing technology to rapidly detect fish species and quality at the marketplace. NOAA granted the company $149,264.

The federal agency made $3.1 million grants to 21 small companies in 14 states, in all. All grants were awarded to support technological advancements in aquaculture, commercial and recreational fisheries, weather predictions and ocean modeling.

“The flesh of many fish species is similar in taste and texture and, therefore, it is difficult to identify species in fillet form. SafetySpect is developing a tabletop system incorporating multimode spectroscopy for real-time quality, adulteration and traceability (QAT) assessment of fish portions,” the company’s abstract to NOAA stated. “The fish portion will be placed on the scanner plate for immediate analysis. The multimode spectroscopy measurement will be analyzed using algorithms developed using artificial intelligence methods and will display the Please see DETECTION, PAGE 22

QUEEN COW

 SAN DIEGO—No social distancing here, as an angler on a 3.5-day private charter aboard Pacific Queen out of Fisherman’s Landing in San Diego returned home with this large bluefin.

Bluefin and yellowfin bites are aplenty right now, with several landings sharing photos of tuna catches on social media.

Fisherman’s Landing, in addition to this Aug. 10 photo share on Facebook, also posted pictures of a yellowfin bite aboard Liberty (Aug. 6) and a large grouper catch brought onto the deck of Polaris (Aug. 3). Looks like there is plenty of good fishing to be had this summer, despite the pandemic.

TUNA FISHING IS UP AND DOWN WITH YELLOWTAIL, DORADO, MARLIN, BARRACUDA AND BASS BITES IMPROVING

By Bob Vanian SAN DIEGO—The fishing for bluefin and yellowfin has been stealing the spotlight for

Salty Lunker — Brian Kilpatrick of San Clemente submitted this photo of him kissing a lunker, which he caught while trolling in front of Salt Creek, California. The lunker was caught and released. Kilpatrick caught the fish aboard his 28-foot Sea Ray, San Clemente; the Sea Ray is docked at Dana Point Harbor.

much of the 2020 summer fishing season. The middle of August, however, has seen the fishing for both species taper off a bit and become just fair. There are still bluefin and yellowfin being caught but at the time of this writing, the fishing for both species is down when compared to the levels of what has been biting in recent weeks. Every fishing season has ups and downs and we are going through somewhat of a down period for the bluefin and yellowfin at the moment. That said, the way things can change from day to day, the tuna bites could easily bounce right back and become very good again before this report gets to the newsstands.



At the moment, the places that are producing some bluefin action in offshore waters are the area outside of the western part of the back side of Catalina and along the ridge areas to the northwest of the West End of San Clemente Island. To show how things are always changing, in a new development, the past few days have also seen some bluefin biting at the South Kelp Ridge and the Rockpile areas of Los Coronado Islands. The bluefin biting in recent days have been the 15- to 40-pound fish and sardines have been working well for bait when fishing meter marks, sonar marks or spots of breaking fish. Colt Sniper jigs have also been effective when cast while first approaching a spot of breaking fish.



There has been some hit or miss and mostly scratchy fishing for yellowfin tuna for boats fishing offshore banks outside of Los Coronado Islands. The best area has been to the west of the 230 Spot and to the northwest of the San Salvador Knoll for boats fishing from 32 to 40 miles 230 to 236 degrees from Point Loma. Every once in a while, someone

gets a long plunker type of stop where they drift and pick away at the yellowfin but there have also been boats that do not fare as well. There are yellowfin around, hopefully they will change their habits and start biting better.



Some of the boats that might otherwise be tuna fishing in offshore waters have been fishing at San Clemente Island where there has been good action for yellowtail, calico bass, bonito and rockfish. The yellowtail have been in the 15- to 20-pound range and productive yellowtail areas have been the West End, Pyramid Head and Purse Seine Rock with the West End being the best.



There is good news to report on the offshore kelp paddie dorado and yellowtail fishing front as boats fishing multiday trips to the offshore waters outside of Punta Colnett are finding very good dorado and yellowtail action. Most of the sportboats that have been fishing down this way have been returning with limits of dorado and near limit to limit catches of yellowtail.

The Pacific Fishery Management Council actively manages Pacific sardine and Pacific mackerel.”
