Both parties attend a hearing on Jan. 18, but presiding judge reveals wife is a Post 291 member in possible conflict of interest.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

NEWPORT BEACH—For nearly 52 years, American Legion Yacht Club (ALYC) and Post 291 in Newport Beach shared facilities in harmony, but things have since changed. ALYC has filed a lawsuit against Post 291, who had attempted to terminate ALYC’s lease, and both clubs attended a hearing on Jan. 18.

The dispute between clubs is said to have been going on for more than a year. Staff commodore Mike Berdine confirmed both parties attend a hearing on Jan. 18, where an news of the judge’s association with the yacht club was revealed.

One event ALYC put on each year, Sail for the Blind and Visually Impaired, was cancelled in October due to Post 291’s executive board suspension.

This event had been held annually in cooperation with the Women’s Sailing Association of Orange County.

Though there was some chatter

that ALYC would have to cancel future events, but Berdine told The Log in an email, “ALYC is conducting meetings and activities at other locations, most significantly Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club.”

In addition to saying the suspension will not cancel further events, Berdine said, “For 2019, ALYC has published a full calendar of events including [Sail for the Blind and Visually Impaired], the Monday night Sundowner racing series and the summer Youth Sailing program.”

At this time, a full listing of events for 2019 can be viewed at alyc.com.

It does not appear that any other activities will be cancelled due to the suspension for the time being.

On Friday, Jan. 18, a hearing between ALYC and Post 291 took place.

Berdine told The Log attorneys for both parties were present at the courtroom of Judge Robert Moss Berdine stated: “The purpose of the injunction is to allow ALYC members to access the facilities they have used for the last 52 years because Post 291 is threatening to cut all access and to eject all ALYC property from the Post.”

ALYC’s position, as described by Berdine, is it is unconscionable for Post 291 to strip facility use after 52 years of unrestricted access.

American Legion Yacht Club’s legal case against Post 291 gets underway

Before the dispute, ALYC and Post 291 had shared facilities for 52 years without notable conflict.

Another coincidental surprise happened at the hearing – Judge Moss revealed his wife was a member of Post 291.

“During the hearing, Judge Moss unexpectedly disclosed for the first time at the hearing that his wife is a member of the Post 291,” said Berdine. “He also said he often visits the members-only private property of Post 291. Accordingly, ALYC has now filed a verified statement of objection to Judge Moss and request that he be

disqualified from further presiding over this case.”

At this time, it is unclear whether or not Post 291 had any knowledge of the judge’s affiliation with the club or not. However, it is highly unusual that a judge would not mention the conflict of interest at the time of reviewing the preliminary paperwork, which was dated on Dec. 27. Was this purposeful or just a mere coincidence? The Log will follow-up as information becomes available.

Wily coyote sneaks into boat show in Nashville

2C

NASHVILLE—Imagine having a fun-filled day at the boat show and then heading to the public bathroom only to find a coyote there. This is exactly what happened at a boat show in Nashville, Tennessee.

The scene of the event took place at Music City Center, where the coyote was found on the counter of the bathroom “just scared.” Oddly enough, a security camera caught footage of the coyote entering the check-in point of the Music City Center just before 10:30 p.m.

According to a tweet by Metro Nashville PD, Central Precinct Officer Brenna Hosey escorted the animal into her

Divers swim with “grandma” great white shark in Hawai’i HONOLULU (AP)—Divers monitoring tiger sharks feeding on a decomposing sperm whale off the coast of Oahu were surprised by a great white shark, a rare sighting in Hawai’i waters.

The smaller sharks left when the possibly pregnant great white came to dine on the dead whale, diver Ocean Ramsey told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

Afterwards, Hosey drove the coyote to a wooded area and released it back into the wild.

Reason for the coyote’s break-in was deemed to have been caused by Nashville’s sudden growth, which is likely infringing on the species’ territory. Similar situations have been happening on the West Coast and it’s not only on land.

With an increase in ship traffic on the waters, some animals, such as dolphins, have experienced the impact of encroaching human life including collisions, disturbance from noises (this can impact the species’ abilities for communication in social situations) and changes in behavior.

said.“We went out at sunrise, and she stayed with us pretty much throughout the day.”

Ramsey studies sharks, advocates for their conservation and leads cage-free shark diving tours. Ramsey and her team were working offshore from Sand Island with a permit from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Hawaiian waters are usually too warm for great whites compared with California’s Pacific coast, where they feed on sea lions and elephant seals, Ramsey said.

She estimated this shark was more than 20 feet (6 meters) long and 8 feet (2.4 meters) across.

The giant white might have headed to Hawai’i because of

hunger and a need for extra nutrients in pregnancy, Ramsey said.

The shark could be the famed Deep Blue based on her size and markings, she said. Ramsey previously swam with Deep Blue on research trips to Guadalupe Island, Mexico.

“Big pregnant females are actually the safest ones to be with – the biggest, oldest ones – because they’ve seen it all, including us,” Ramsey said.“That’s why I kind of call her, like, a grandma shark.”

Sharks usually only bite when they’re curious or mistake people for their natural prey, she said.

While they’re possibly gentle, great whites and tigers are apex predators and unpredictable,

Re: Dock Lines: What services can boaters expect during the government shutdown? (issue Jan. 11-24)

Keep opinions to yourself … as long as they support the “fake news” agenda I have enjoyed reading Ms. Nicole’s column several times until I got down to the last few paragraphs of this latest article. Ms. Nicole just had to inject politics into her article, and it angered me that even The Log was allowing fake news into its paper. Ms. Nicole thinks the situation along the southern border of the United States is “nothing approaching a national emergency at the border,” and is “just a manufactured crisis for political gain.” A person must be completely out of touch with the almost daily news of drugs, human trafficking, coyote-led groups of individuals and families, unaccompanied children, and criminals crossing into the U.S., and the hundreds of illegal aliens entering from countries all over the world that our U.S. Border Patrol is tasked with trying to stop.

This does not even include the caravans of people coming up from some South American countries that we have been witness-

ing recently, which in reality is not a new event for Border Patrol. The U.S. is backlogged in the number of illegal aliens and immigrants applying for asylum it can process, and most of these people are released into the U.S. on a promise to return for their court date, which they rarely do. A manufactured crisis? Really? I was born and raised in San Diego, and have lived here with few exceptions for over 70 years. I have seen our illegal immigration grow by leaps and bounds over all those years, and in my opinion, in which I am not alone, it has definitely reached a national emergency crisis. So, for the sake of The Log, and for not turning articles in it into fake news, how about we keep our political opinions to ourselves?

California Yachting Party: Coalition Campaigns to Reduce Watercraft Taxes Sales and use taxes are driving boaters away to other states, according to brokers. Can a cap on taxes reverse the trend?

By Parimal M. Rohit

STATEWIDE—Resistance to pay taxes is practically an American birthright. We can trace our reluctance to part ways with our hard-earned cash to as far back as the Boston Tea Party. The fight against governmental levies on personal income and purchases continues almost 246 years after the Tea Act of 1773 was imposed upon the American colonies. Leading the charge of this specific tax battle is not Samuel Adams or Paul Revere but instead a lobbyist with The Apex Group in Sacramento. And the levy in question:

sales and use taxes on watercraft purchases in California.

Hoping to take the lead in the fight against sales and use taxes on watercraft purchases is the California Coalition for Maritime Development (CCMD), a group recently formed to reduce the governmental levy boaters face when purchasing watercraft. CCMD is also campaigning for a cap on taxes assessed on larger yacht purchases.

The CCMD campaign is on the agenda at the upcoming California Boating Congress, scheduled for March 6 in Sacramento, with the seminar discussion to be spearheaded by Lobbyist Bret Gladfelty of The Apex Group.

Anyone following the boating industry in recent years is likely aware of the other discussion being had: Is boating a dying pastime? Some industry leaders and experts could easily argue the taxes assessed on watercraft purchases in See STANDING WATCH page 8

FAST FACTS

American Heritage: The Shipwreck of Santa Monica Bay

By Parimal M. Rohit

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—Santa Monica Bay is a major draw for boaters, anglers, beachgoers and tourists, what with two harbors (Redondo Beach and Marina del Rey) and several well-known communities (Malibu, Santa Monica, Venice and others) dotting the coastline. Lurking within the waters of Santa Monica Bay are more than various forms of marine life – there is also a shipwreck.

American Heritage went under during the first week of May 1995, ultimately finding the seafloor about 8 miles south of Malibu (and 2,300-some feet below the ocean’s surface), according to a Los Angeles Times report. The ship, whose six-member crew survived the sinking, was mostly forgotten for 23 years – until a research expedition came across the shipwreck while investigating faults and submarine canyons.

Flooding was the purported cause of American Heritage’s sinking. She was a supply ship servicing oil platforms, according to Live Science.

Discovering American Heritage at its current location spurred the researchers from Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) to chart the shipwreck’s location.

Letters/Online Comments

The MBARI researcher who found the shipwreck stated sponges covered American Heritage’s bow. MBARI’s team ultimately created a three-dimensional rendering of American Heritage.

LiveScience.com further explained American Heritage’s above-water use, via a MBARI spokesperson. American Heritage specifically served as an “oil-field utility ship, shuttling crews and supplies to and from offshore oil rigs,” the MBARI spokesperson explained to LiveScience.com.

Also supported by American Heritage were divers and remotely operated vehicles – ROVs – for inspection, maintenance and repair of oilrigs and seafloor pipelines, the LiveScience.com article on the shipwreck stated.

Blips on the Radar Latest News Updates

What Happened: The Port of Los Angeles’ Board of Harbor Commissioners approved a resolution to rename a portion of Miner Street as Dave Arian Way. The stretch of street is now renamed after Dave Arian, who recently served as vice president of the Harbor Commission. Arian died on Jan. 2 after a bride battle with cancer.

Arian was appointed to the Board of Harbor Commissioners on Sept. 24, 2010 and reappointed on Aug. 12, 2014. Gene Seroka, the port’s executive director, hailed Arian as a “prominent leader and advocate for the LA Waterfront as a union worker, labor leader and supporter of many community organizations.”

He worked as a longshoreman and was a member of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) from 19652009. Arian was also a founding member of the Harry Bridges Institute.

Seroka added the stretch of Miner Street was renamed in recognition of Arian’s leadership and port industry career.

What’s On Tap: The Harbor Department will spend $6,000 to change the designated stretch of Miner Street to Dave Arian Way.

California are a significant barrier to entry. The same leaders and experts would point to states such as Rhode Island and Florida, where there are tax incentives favoring boaters.

Here are the questions to be begged in light of the planned taxation presentation at the upcoming California Boating Congress: • Is California’s collection of sales and use taxes on watercraft too high?

• Are such taxes so high as to serve as a barrier to entry for boating (or make the activity too expensive for current boaters)?

• Will a cap on taxes assessed on large yacht purchases spur boat sales?

Dean West, a yacht broker in San Diego, said California’s boating industry faces stiff competition from other states, such as Florida, where a cap on sales or use taxes are in play. Florida, West said, caps its sales/use tax at $18,000, comparable to an eight percent levy rate on a $225,000 boat in California.

“As you know, a $225,000 boat is not much more than a small family express cruiser, at today’s prices,” West told The Log in an email.

West added California is losing a significant revenue stream because of its current tax policy.

“California is losing tremendous amounts of revenue due to California buyers purchasing their boats and yachts out of the state, and then never bringing them into California, thereby denying … brokers/dealers, boat yards, marinas, service providers, chandleries,

Santa Barbara Harbor Commission recommends lease for youth sailing foundation

What Happened: The Santa Barbara Harbor Commission, on Jan. 17, recommended a proposed lease agreement with Santa Barbara Youth Sailing Foundation be approved by the local City Council. Santa Barbara Youth Sailing Foundation is looking to sign a five-year lease option with the city of Santa Barbara to occupy a 2,500-squarefoot water space at Marina 1. The base rent of the lease, if ultimately approved, would

etc. the opportunity to represent and service our … buyers,” West said. “Most importantly for the state’s coffers, there are then zero taxes collected – sales/use, personal property tax, fuel, licenses, etc.”

The Log, in an October 2016 article, headlined, “Are taxes on boats to onerous in California,” previously compared taxation practices in the nation’s most populous state against other the likes of Florida, Rhode Island and Washington.

Florida offers boaters an $18,000 cap on sales/use tax. The state of Washington explored a similar limitation on sales/ use tax.

“Tax-friendly states are making it easy on boaters to make port and spend money locally (which, potentially, is less money spent in California),” The Log’s October 2016 article stated.

Another focus of the same article: whether sales and use taxes are, as West proclaimed above, bad for business in California.

Maritime attorney David Weil, who used to pen a column for The Log, previously stated the perception of sales/use taxes being bad for boaters and businesses certainly does exist, but empirical evidence to support such a claim is not available.

“The yacht brokerage industry has argued that sales and use tax laws in California have been bad for business.

There is a certain anecdotal logic to that claim but there is no objective evidence that I am aware of,” Weil was previously quoted as saying.

An effort to limit the reach of taxation on boaters, nonetheless, charges

What’s On Tap: The Harbor Commission recommendation will move forward to Santa Barbara’s City Council for consideration. Council members can either take the commission’s recommendation and approve the proposed lease agreement or reject it.

Newport Beach City Council to review harbor fees and rent for harbor department

Newport Beach forged a municipal harbor department, which served to take over managing harbor operations from Orange County Sheriff’s Department. Since then the city has been active about implementing some changes and one on the agenda has been consulting on fee updates.

The harbor commission, in August 2018, made recommendations after reviewing a study by consultant MGT of America to update fee and rent costs. Newport Beach Finance Committee reviewed the proposed harbor fees at the end of November 2018 and suggested they be brought before the City Council.

In the staff report, new fees for the fiscal year were estimated at $16,000, Marina Park slips would be increased by $68,000 from last year, and guest moorings would be raised from the previous year by nearly $374,000.

More details can be found at newportbeachca.gov.

What’s On Tap: Council members voted unanimously to bring talks on the subject of harbor department fees and rents back at the next meeting slated for Jan. 22.

Council member Marshall “Duffy” Duffield recused himself due to conflict of interest because of his businesses.

Re: The Future is Now: Does Boating and Waterways Need to Evolve? (issue Jan. 11-24)

Thoughts from a legal liveaboard tenant It is a tough situation in California. Not enough slips and as a older slips are rebuilt and replaced, fewer slips are added. Slip fees keep increasing which have a big problem with me. Marina del Rey, as an example, was developed for recreational boaters and the boating industry. Now, it’s about apartment lifestyles. What REALLY infuriates me is the apartments now use terms like “great views of the boats,” to attract renters. Why should boaters pay more in slip fees to appease the apartment dwellers?

Boaters should have LOWER slip fees for this. Sorry, I regress …

Where can new boaters keep their new boat? With no slips and high fees, boat storage is almost nonexistent. This in itself is a deterrent to buying.

I will say it warms my heart to see young children take group sailing lessons. They gain a love of boating, but then what? Few can afford a small boat and slip/storage, so they charter, which also costs quite a bit.

Fractional ownership boats can be found, so long as you plan your two weeks use available when you are ready.

Truth be told, I am a legal liveaboard and often wonder why I stay.

Some rooms on the ship are decorated with images of South Dakota cities and wildlife, a state license plate and stickers from Deadwood bars.

The last ship named after the state of South Dakota was the BB-57, a World War II-era battleship that won numerous honors in combat before it was decommissioned in 1947. Parts of the battleship are on display at the USS South Dakota Battleship Memorial in Sioux Falls.

Huge numbers of stranded jellyfish wash up at Haystack Rock CANNON BEACH, Ore. (AP) — Huge numbers of moon jellyfish have washed up as far as the eye can see around Haystack Rock on the Oregon Coast.

The Daily Astorian reported it’s not unusual for the jellies to wash up after a winter storm or ocean upwelling.

But marine biologists are urging beachgoers not to touch them.

While moon jellies usually don’t sting, another kind of jellyfish called the Pacific sea nettle does sting – sometimes even after it’s dead.

Scientists are still studying the role of jellyfish in marine food webs and their impact on fishing.

This doesn’t work for the larger boats as they will not fit on swim steps.

In response to the “less-thanspecks” logic Regarding the “Less-than-specks” logic of letter writer Leroy Achoy (Dec 28-Jan 10): Mr. Achoy uses the faulty argument that humans are much too small compared to the sun to have any effect on climate change. This ignores the following facts: 1. The earth’s temperature is determined by the delicate balance between the energy received from the sun, and the energy re-radiated back into space 2. Greenhouse gases, like CO2 hold in more of the energy, thus raising the temperature 3. Atmospheric CO2 levels have risen steadily in the last hundred years, and dramatically in the last two decades.

Levels in the atmosphere have not been this high for 400,000 years (and yes, this has been scientifically verified).

4. The rise in the CO2 level is caused by Achoy’s “specks” burning countless tons of fossil fuels, releasing this gas into our atmosphere.

Marine conservation vessel spotted illegal drift gillnets use in upper reaches of Sea of Cortez.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SEA OF CORTEZ—An attempt to patrol possible illegal fishing activities in the upper stretches of the Sea of Cortez turned into a tense standoff involving poachers, nonprofit marine conservationists and the Mexican Navy, on Jan. 9.

A ship associated with the international nonprofit marine conservation organization Sea Shepherd became entangled with a group of poachers in a vaquita refuge off the eastern coast of Baja California. The entanglement, which culminated with the poachers attempting to board the Sea Shepherd vessel and threatening to use Molotov cocktails, ended when aircraft associated with the Mexican Navy arrived on the scene.

The incident started during the morning of Jan. 9, when the Sea Shepherd vessel M/V Farley Mowat reportedly recovered three drift gillnets during a maritime patrol within the Sea of Cortez’s vaquita refuge. Drift gillnets have been used to catch totoaba, a highly prized fish found off the Baja California coast.

Catching totoabas via drift gillnet has, however, been cited as the reason why the vaquita porpoise is on the verge of extinction. Vaquitas have been a common bycatch within the local commercial fishing practice of catching totoaba by drift gillnet. Any vaquita caught by a drift gillnet has not been able to survive. There are now fewer than 30 vaquitas remaining in the world and the United States, as a response to the vaquita’s endangered species status, implemented a seafood import ban on any Mexican fisheries using drift gillnets within the Upper Sea of Cortez (or Gulf of California, as it’s also known).

Farley Mowat’s crew, after spotting the three drift gillnets, reportedly wit-

nessed at least 35 skiffs, with poachers aboard, within the vaquita refuge.

The ship, according to Sea Shepherd staff, “approached the skiffs where obvious illegal poaching was taking place, as totoaba fishing gear was detected being loaded into a skiff.”

“At this point, one of the skiffs began circling the Sea Shepherd vessel which was soon joined by the remainder of other skiffs,” Sea Shepherd staff continued in explaining the A group of skiffs on the upper Sea of Cortez reportedly attacked a Sea Shepherd vessel.

A boy’s boarding school was then on site from the early 1900s until the area was turned into a military training ground during World War II. There was also a resort, but it had been abandoned before CIMI was established.

Current engines reached the end of their respective lifecycles; port district authorizes $398,000 for replacements.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO—Two marine vessels within the Port of San Diego’s Harbor Police Department’s fleet will be repowered, thanks to a resolution approved by the district’s Board of Port of Commissioners on Jan. 16.

The resolution also calls for the purchase of a spare vessel engine and transmission package unit. Marine Group Boat Works, which submitted a bid last summer for $398,000, will be awarded the contract. The marine vessels were purchased for $957,780, each.

Harbor Police, with the board’s approval, acquired two marine fireboats in 2012. Department of Homeland Security provided funding for the fireboats. Port district staff stated the fireboats had a lifespan of six years or 6,000 hours.

The new engines would each be 6.7 liters and have an anticipated lifespan of nine years or 9,000 hours.

“Harbor Police fireboats have been experiencing engine failures in their original 5.9 Cummings diesel powered engines. Oil samples on the starboard engines on Fireboats Marine 2 and Marine 5 indicate excessive wear, which necessitates engine replacement per industry standards,” port district staff stated in a report to commissioners.

The port district solicited bids from companies seeking to repower the two Harbor Police marine vessels nearing the end of their lifecycles. Four companies responded, with two of them bowing out later in the process.

Marine Group Boat Works out of Chula Vista ultimately won the bidding process; its $398,000 bid submission was originally the third lowest out of the four under consideration. The Chula Vista boatyard was recognized for being a port district tenant. Its specialties include haul-outs, bottom paints, surveying, vessel engine repowering, mechanical repairs, propeller service and custom fabrications. “[Marine Group] is a port tenant and a family-owned business that has been serving the greater San Diego Maritime Industry as a boat builder and repair facility for [more than] 35 years. They provide full-service boat and super yacht refit and repair occupying over 15 acres of land and water within the Port jurisdiction area, located at the southern part of the San Diego Bay (in addition to a second location in San Jose Del Cabo),” port district staff said about the successful bidder. “[The boatyard] specializes in refits, repairs and new construction of boats up to 220 feet long and is recognized worldwide for its 665-ton travel lift.”

The agreement between Marine Group Boat Works and the port district will be effective from Jan. 20 to June 15, 2020.

“Breakwater International California … rescinded their proposal because they could not honor the price they bid. South Coast Shipyard … submitted a proposal for $393,350 and also rescinded their bid for the same reason,” port district staff said in a report to commissioners.

Adept Process Services was the fourth bid; the company sought $440,762 from the port district.

The resolution was approved as part of the board’s consent calendar.

Tanya Castaneda, former Port of San Diego spokesperson, moves into the private sector

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

SAN DIEGO—In Tanya Castaneda’s biography for her new position as vice president for Manolatos Nelson Murphy public relations firm, one line particularly stands out in capturing her character: “She is passionate about building public trust in the governmental, business and nonprofit institutions that touch our lives.” It only took a few minutes into a phone conversation with the Port of San Diego’s now former public information officer (PIO) to realize the depths of her care for connecting others with accurate, fact-based knowledge. Yet the story of how she became the PIO for Port of San Diego is a journey is certainly one that stands out among other public relations experts.

Castaneda grew up in Massachusetts and was the daughter of a commercial fisherman. Early in her career, she was a journalist working for The Boston Globe and at a newspaper

exam Through becoming an accredited PIO, Castaneda learned there were ethics codes in place and so much other information she never even realized existed when she was a journalist. This education allowed Castaneda to take research and scientific-backed information to show results.

One of the biggest surprises for Castaneda when she studied for her accreditation was how research-driven her profession was versus what people typically think of someone in public Castaneda’s new position as vice president at public relations. relations firm Manolatos Nelson Murphy will see her “I thought public relations contributing her skills to some Port-related projects in was more of a people profesthe future. sion, but it’s more scientific,” based in the Virgin Islands.

“In the end, he [Biden] wrote me a thank you letter – I framed it and put it on my wall,” she says.

In her new position, Castaneda expresses excitement for taking on new responsibilities, but fortunately she may still have the chance to work with the Port on waterfront developments and other major projects.

One of Castaneda’s major projects, and proudest accomplishments, is her work on the Port Master Plan.

“One of the career highlights is working on the Port Master Plan. That is a huge project. It has been going on for six years. It sets up a blueprint for coastal access for the next 50 years.

This is one of those projects that has been ground up,” says Castaneda.

For the Port Master Plan, San Diego port officials put an emphasis on public outreach, workshops, meetings and other ways they could reach those affected by the plan, from fishermen to environmentalists.

“It has been amazing to see people who wanted to get their options included versus people who want to make sure they have something penciled out for their business,” Castaneda continued.

When asked if the Port is close to wrapping up this project, Castaneda says, “Yes, I think they are extremely close and we will be able to see something this year.”

Castaneda says the Chula Vista Bayfront revitalization and cargo and cruise operations – all of which would directly affect boaters – should be on the public’s radar as 2019 unfolds.

As the conversation turns to being involved in government practices at a local level, Castaneda emphasizes the importance of reaching community members. In a nod to The Log, Castaneda also comments one of the most helpful sources has been the local media’s coverage of major events. On the flip side, Castaneda’s integrity has allowed for honest coverage of such subjects as the Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp, for example.

A resident of Chula Vista, Castaneda is optimistic about the city’s waterfront revitalization. In her spare time, she likes to go fishing with her friends and she spends additional time volunteering, especially for a local alcohol rehab nonprofit.

In the modern world, a good PIO is everything – especially when it comes to governmental agencies with several cogs working at once. Castaneda will be tackling her new position, surely, in much the same way she has contributed to the port’s marketing, social media and press success during her time there.

“I could not have had a better experience than I had at the port,” says Castaneda. “I still get to be engaged with some of the projects on this end.

I got to achieve a lot of things and develop professionally.”

Charter operators in San Diego growing restless By-the-book owners express frustration over slow-moving process to regulate illegal charters.

SAN DIEGO—Frustrations over the how the Port of San Diego is handling the presence of illegal charter operations in California’s southernmost harbor appeared to boil over toward the end of 2018, with legal operators openly questioning why the port’s board of commissioners have yet to at least consider a drafted policy on the issue.

The battle between legal and illegal charter operators has been ongoing for several years now, and the port district, in 2018, stated it would work with the Coast Guard and local stakeholders to implement a policy regulating the presence of boats-for-hire in San Diego Harbor.

A joint task force was recently launched to facilitate the drafting and enactment of an illegal charter policy, but those directly – and negatively – affected by illegal charter operations at San Diego Harbor are beyond frustrated by what they believe is a lack of action by the port district, Coast Guard and others.

Many were hopeful a draft policy would already be on the table – with approval and implementation not too far away.

Port of San Diego Harbor Police Chief Mark Stainbrook, during the Board of Port Commissioners’ Dec. 11, 2018 meeting, said while there have been delays a draft policy is almost ready to be presented.

“We have a draft proposed port

Will the Port of San Diego finally have a drafted policy on illegal charters ready to present to local stakeholders? Law enforcement authorities are seen here boarding a boat near Catalina Island.

ordinance that we’re reviewing, and, as promised, although it’s a little delayed, we’ll get back to having a public outreach,” Stainbrook told commissioners. “We do continue to work with the Coast Guard to board illegal charters.

The Coast Guard has their rules and ordinances for illegal charters and we have what we have.”

Carole Noska, who operates a charter boat service, nonetheless cited an August 2018 letter from Stainbrook stating a draft policy could be available before the start of 2019.

She also asked commissioners why various illegal charter services who have already been identified by the port’s law enforcement were not served with cease-and-desist notices.

“The joint task force team, with Coast Guard and Harbor Police, have been boarding illegal passenger charters and escorting them back to their marinas [or public docks],” Noska told commissioners. “Now that it is clear who the illegal charters are – since you’re escorting them back to the dock – we don’t understand why you are not

serving them with cease-and-desist orders until they can comply with the new ordinances.”

Noska added a group of legal charter operators in San Diego are looking into a class action filing against the port district.

John Valente of San Diego Bay Cruises said the port district is long overdue to have an ordinance drafted and vetted.

“It is just, basically, an ordinance we are looking for. A little bit of time is acceptable and reasonable but we’re going on five years with this issue,” Valente told commissioners.

“We were promised a joint task force where everybody said they’re working together and then, independently, they’re saying, ‘that’s not my job.’

“It’s just policy. It should just be written,” Valente continued.

Both Noska and Valente suggested the port district, based upon how the process has played out so far, effectively condoned illegal charter activity.

Stainbrook, meanwhile, told commissioners the task force is doing

all it can to ensure the positions and perspectives of all stakeholders are factored into the drafted policy on San Diego’s illegal charter operations.

“It’s a complex issue. It takes a little time,” Stainbrook said of the process.

“We’re trying to look at this holistically.”

Illegal charter operations has indeed been a hot button item in San Diego – and other harbors in Orange County and Los Angeles – for several years.

Coast Guard and San Diego Harbor Police officials boarded Champagne on Sept. 2, 2018 as part of a law enforcement operation. Champagne had been long been suspected of conducting illegal charter operations.

Regulating illegal charter operations hasn’t been an easy activity to regulate.

There is the philosophical or economic debate, for example. Is the regulation of any passenger-for-hire activity ultimately a restriction of free market principles (as in, if people want to charter a boat, let them charter a boat)?

Or should the government be allowed to step in due to concerns of safety and qualifications?

The other barrier is practicality – even if there is a regulation on the books, enforcement is quite difficult.

It’s not immediately obvious to anyone whether a boat-for-hire is legitimate or navigating the waters against the law. Illegal charter operations are often discovered via tips from those who frequently use the harbor or a random boat boarding.

Looking ahead: the Board of Port Commissioners could be considering a draft policy on illegal charter operations as early as March. The port district told The Log it would soon schedule a meeting with stakeholders and provide them with the latest updates.

San Diego County’s northernmost harbor has managed its sea lion population, but can it be replicated elsewhere?

By Parimal M. Rohit

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—There has been no shortage of stories in The Log covering the tenuous relationship between boaters and sea lions.

The next installment in these series of stories falls upon Oceanside Harbor, where local officials created a space of sea lions to (mostly) reside without interfering with boaters, kayakers, paddleboard users and others.

Paul Lawrence, Oceanside Harbor’s former manager, introduced dock space into waterway, essentially serving as an island a few feet off the riprap along North Harbor Drive. It’s a wooden dock structure with flo-

tation, built by Oceanside Harbor Maintenance staff and measuring 30-feet-by-30-feet in size. The island is officially located 50 feet offshore, between the harbor’s fishing pier and transient docks. One could say the island loosely resembles the sea lion space at Pier 39 in San Francisco.

Implementing a “Sea Lion Island” in the middle of Oceanside Harbor has yielded mostly positive results, according to Ted Schiafone, the harbor’s director. The sea lions don’t necessarily commit to staying in one designated place, of course, so the island isn’t a perfect solution – but it does appear to be a step in the right direction. Can similar measures be implemented at other harbors?

“I can’t say for certain the sea lions are committed to this one area. They seem to go back and forth between the island and our transient docks,” Schiafone told The Log in an email.

“Whenever the transient dock gets too busy for them, they congregate on the

Schiafone added no one officially associated with the city of Oceanside proactively directed sea lions to the

offshore island.

Ventura County collaborates with city of Oxnard to address water quality issues

Waterways,” Sandoval said.

Sandoval added the county would transfer ownership of the sensor purchased by the Harbor Department to the city of Oxnard. Transferring ownership to the city means the Harbor Department won’t be responsible for the sensor’s maintenance.

The Harbor Department director was quick to point out Channel Islands Harbor did not suffer from the same water quality degradation event as Oxnard Waterways did, even though both venues share the same harbor space.

“I don’t believe we’re at the same level of risk as the Oxnard Waterways.

There are a couple reasons for that,” Sandoval said. “Since we’re closer to the mouth of the harbor, we are the beneficiaries of enhanced tidal interaction. Secondly, the water’s deeper, so it won’t warm up like it does back in the Oxnard Waterways.”

VENTURA—Ventura County’s Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the purchase of a water quality testing sensor for the city of Oxnard, Jan. 15.

Oxnard’s city staff plans to use as many as four sensors to monitor water quality near Channel Islands Harbor.

The Oxnard Waterways area, which is just above and adjacent to Channel Islands Harbor, suffered from a water quality degradation episode last summer. Local residents observed a discoloration and cloudiness in the water last summer; the northernmost areas of the Oxnard Waterways area were most affected by the water quality degradation, according to Ventura County Harbor Department Director Mark Sandoval.

Oxnard Waterways is managed by the city of Oxnard, while Channel Islands Harbor falls under Ventura County’s Oxnard Waterways (upper third of photo) will receive some assistance from jurisdiction.

Will port district finally be able to come to terms with new hotel project near Sunroad Marina?

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO—What a redeveloped stretch of Harbor Island would look like won’t be revealed until at least February, as the Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners postponed its discussion on an ambitious hotel development near Sunroad Marina. The Harbor Island hotel redevelopment project was supposed to be vetted out on Jan. 16, but commissioners agreed to reschedule the discussion for Feb. 12, which is the next commission meeting.

Commissioners hope to have a full board at next month’s meeting; Commissioner Robert “Dukie” Valderrama was not present on Jan. 16.

Port district officials and Sunroad Enterprises – the team proposing to develop the eastern portion of Harbor Island with a large hotel project – have been going back and forth on redevelopment plans since April 1, 2017, when an exclusive negotiating agreement, or ENA, went into effect for both parties.

The ENA has since been extended six times – three times in 2017 and

three more times in 2018. Along the way there were several meetings, board presentations and plan submittals.

Sunroad’s initial submittals, according to port district staff, called for “a two-phased, dual-branded, 500 room hotel with the first phase comprised of 325 rooms and the second phase comprised of 175 rooms.”

Separating the hotel development into phases proved to be a sticking point for the port district, and the California Coastal Commission added a Port Master Plan Amendment might be required for the project.

Port district staff and Sunroad have since been trying to craft a new proposal to limit phasing of the project and satisfy concerns expressed by the Coastal Commission.

“Sunroad’s proposed development does not address all of the board’s and staff’s concerns discussed to date,” port district staff stated in a report to commissioners. “However, staff believes there is a path to achieving the mutual goals of the [port] district and Sunroad through an amendment of the Sunroad ENA.” Board members and port staff are considering the following changes: • Build a 400- to 500-room hotel in one phase • Build one or two hotel buildings with contrasting scale and massing • Integrate parking into the project

Presentation on Harbor Island redevelopment postponed until February

San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners will review an updated proposal on the Harbor Island redevelopment project in February. The port district and developer have been adjusting plans for years now. Is the end for the bureaucratic process finally in sight?

in such a way a structure or lot won’t look unappealing • Create “mini destination areas” throughout the to-be-developed property • Bring an upper-upscale or upscale hotel brand to the site.

Delaying the presentation on the future of Sunroad’s development plans for Harbor Island’s “eastern elbow parcel” means Sunroad’s ENA must be extended once again. The ENA was set to expire Jan. 25, which is a little more than two weeks before the Feb. 12 Port of San Diego board meeting.

Commissioners will be expected to give feedback on the project at the Feb. 12 meeting and provide port district staff with direction to negotiate

an amendment to the Sunroad ENA. Sunroad would then have to submit new plans within 120 days and the proposal would have to include plans to build the hotel project in one phase, ensure contrasting scaling and massing, and minimize the visibility of a parking structure/lot. Plans to pursue a high-end hotel brand and include mini destination areas on-site would also have to be included in Sunroad’s updated proposal.

Ann Moore, who was recently sworn-in as the board’s vice chair, expressed frustration about how many times the commission and port district staff has delayed discussions on Sunroad’s plans.

Judge denies legal challenge against Poseidon desalination plan Court ruling finds State Lands Commission thoroughly vetted plans to build saltwater-tofreshwater conversion plant.

SACRAMENTO—Orange County Coastkeeper’s legal challenge of the process to bring a desalination plant online on the Huntington Beach coast was rejected, according to a Supreme Court ruling made available to The Log on Jan. 14.

A group of environmental organizations – O.C. Coastkeeper, California Coastkeeper Alliance and California Coastal Protection Network – petitioned a Superior Court judge in Sacramento to effectively block the Poseidon desalination plant from being built by stating the project violated the public trust and, therefore, should not have the State Lands Commission’s blessings.

“The court finds the [State Lands] Commission engaged in a thorough analysis of the proposed [desalination] project, as well as a specific public trust analysis,” Judge Richard K. Sueyoshi stated in his ruling. “The court finds [O.C. Coastkeeper and others] have not sufficiently demonstrated that the commission’s decision was arbitrary or capricious or entirely lacking in eviden-

tiary support or that it failed to follow appropriate procedures with regard to its public trust obligations.”

Sueyoshi added O.C. Coastkeeper’s allegations of public trust doctrine violations were based in previous arguments and discussions. The judge added a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report properly covers the project’s subsurface intakes.

“The evidence before the commission supported a finding that subsurface intakes at the project site are infeasible,” Sueyoshi said in his ruling.

“The court also finds that, again, [O.C. Coastkeeper and others] have failed to identify the evidence favorable to the other side and demonstrate why it is lacking. Such a failure to do so is fatal.”

Plans to build the Poseidon plant on Pacific Coast Highway at Newland Street in Huntington Beach also does not require additional environmental review, according to Sueyoshi.

Poseidon’s plan to bring a desalination plant online on the central Orange County coast has been controversial ever since the city of Huntington Beach certified an Environmental Impact Report for the proposed project in 2010. Sueyoshi, in his ruling, described the Poseidon project as “a seawater desalination facility on the site of the power plant owned by AES as well as construction and operation of offsite improvements including ‘water delivery pipeline … [and] underground booster pump stations.”

The Superior Court ruling coincided with a Reuters report stating desalination plants are harmful to the environment.

Alister Doyle, Reuters’ environmental correspondent, in an article headlined “Too much salt: water desalination plants harm environment: U.N.,” stated the estimated 16,000 desalination plants around the world “produce bigger-than-expected flows of highly salt waste water and toxic chemicals that are damaging the environment.”

Doyle’s article cited a United Nations study, released on Jan. 14, showing desalination plants pumped out 50 percent more salty brine (142 million cubic meters) on a daily basis than previous estimates to produce 95 million cubic meters of freshwater.

“The hyper-salty water is mostly pumped into the sea and, over a year, would be enough to cover the U.S. state of Florida with 30 centimeters (one foot) of brine,” Doyle stated in his Reuters article. “Brine, water comprising about 5 percent salt, often includes toxins such as chlorine and copper used in desalination, [the U.N. report stated]. By contrast, global sea water is about 3.5 percent salt.”

Both Doyle and the U.N. study claimed brine cuts oxygen levels in seawater near desalination plants, affecting shellfish, crabs and similar marine life.”

Systems fail when your boat sits idle Story and photo by Capt. Nicole Sours Larson

The best way to identify any of these problems is by exercising these systems, even if only briefly during short visits – or ask a boat maintenance service technician periodically check up on them if you can’t get to the boat.

For electrical systems, electrical engineer Arv explained to me, you might experience a drop in voltage or no voltage at all. That’s a sign that an electrical wire has broken or connectors have corroded somewhere in your boat. You won’t know there’s a problem unless you activate the system.

A slow leak in water or hydraulic systems can cause unexpected fluid in the bilge. If it’s a serious leak you may notice your boat is sitting lower in the water than normal or display a distinct list to port or starboard. You may hear a constantly cycling bilge pump.

Remember: your bilge should be dry or have only a trace of water in it. Any more is a sign of a problem. Bilge pumps also fail through contamination, including “gunk” building up on the float, corrosion or age. The float, which senses the bilge’s water level, and connectors in the pump can corrode and the pump’s impeller, made of a rubber-like material, hardens and breaks with age.

SAN DIEGO—While most passionate boaters want to spend as much time as possible on our boats, life and work requirements often interfere, despite our best desires and intentions.

That’s what happened to us this year. Because of a prolonged renovation project at our condo and several other unavoidable matters, Arv and I weren’t able to enjoy our boat as much as usual – and Arv wasn’t able to perform all the routine maintenance tasks he normally does.

Every January we need to vacate our slip for the Sunroad San Diego Boat Show, which enables us to experience other marinas. But as Arv began preparations to move Burgundy various problems showed up with a vengeance, as generally occurs whenever a boat’s systems aren’t exercised regularly.

What happened?

Despite starting the engines periodically, this time he couldn’t start them. He suspected a failure of the batteries used to start the engines. When he looked up his maintenance records – he notes the date and type of work he’s undertaken – he realized the batteries, which he’d replaced soon after we bought the boat, were more than nine years old. He learned that AGM batteries, newly available on the market when he purchased them, have an expected life of eight to 10 years. Bingo!

He identified a local company, which had four in stock they could deliver and install quickly.

One problem solved.

Next he discovered a problem with the steering and correctly diagnosed a slow hydraulic fluid leak. Replenishing the fluid and recharging the system solved the problem until he has enough time to chase down the leak.

What other things can go wrong when you’re away from your boat and not using and inspecting its systems regularly?

Here is a small sampling.

Keith Yonkers sees opportunity to create “a landmark truly at the harbor entrance,” estimating $350,000 if project moves forward.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

NEWPORT BEACH—It’s no secret that Newport Beach city officials and agencies have been aiming to make the town on the central Orange County coast a premier boating destination, both nationally and globally. Newport Beach’s efforts to create a more boater-centric atmosphere resulted in the creation of a municipal harbor department (with an emphasis on customer service), for example. At one point, city officials even put the wheels in motion to be declared a port – an idea the California Coastal Commission quickly shut down.

Newport Beach has also focused on construction and revitalization projects centered on the sailing community.

One of the latest endeavors on this front: a new lighthouse project.

In the agenda released for the Jan. 9 Newport Beach Harbor Commission meeting, it read: “There is currently a navigational aid on the west end of the

Newport Jetty to aid boaters as they enter in Newport Harbor. The current structure is functional, however may not be considered as welcoming as it could be to boaters. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is contemplating a replacement program and there may be an opportunity to enhance the look of the navigational aid.”

Keith Yonkers presented a plan to commissioners, who were decidedly wooed by the idea and vote 6-0 in favor of continuing discussions on the concept. The project was estimated

by Yonkers to cost in the ballpark of $350,000.

While the navigational aid serves safety purposes, mainly helping boaters to weather overcast, foggy or dark conditions, Yonkers felt the current pole to be lacking and beautifying the structure “will be a landmark truly at the harbor entrance.”

Though many boats now use GPS chart plotters, there are some smaller boats and vessels that may not be able to use these electronics, according to Yonkers’ presentation. He argued a permanent structure would be easily identified and will benefit a wide spectrum of the boating community.

Basic lighthouse designs were depicted in the presentation, which states, “There are thousands of

U.S. Marines and Navy arrive on Catalina Island to begin Airport in the Sky repair project Visitors will be able to watch military repair the runway, a $5 million undertaking providing service members with “construction skills and mission essential tasks.”

CATALINA ISLAND—Airport in the Sky does not only serve as an active airport, but is also a much loved tourist attraction on Catalina Island. Countless articles, books and other media have featured this interesting site including The Log. In November 2018, however, it was announced the airport needed a little TLC. Catalina Island Conservancy, coincidentally, found someone up for the task.

The Conservancy, the nonprofit organization overseeing the airport’s operation, struck a deal with the U.S. Marine Corps back in November 2018 to take over the much needed revitalization project. On Catalina there are a long list of projects in need updating and the Conservancy takes on quite a bit; funding can also be a dilemma in some circumstances. The stars, however, aligned for the Airport in the Sky project to come online now.

According to a release by Catalina Island Conservancy: “The Conservancy operates the Airport in the Sky as a public airport that serves the Island’s businesses, 4,000 residents and approximately 1 million annual visitors. The airport is a favorite destination for pilots, who land and take off from the airport about 14,000 times annually.”

In addition, the airport provides access to first responders, visitors, residents, businesses, and, importantly, a package delivery hub for U.S. Mail and other postal services. Emergency and medical supplies reach the Island in an annual amount estimated at 3.5 million pounds via the airport.

The Conservancy had been repairing and patching the airport’s runway, which amounted to about $250,000 a year. In September 2018, California Department of Transportation’s Aeronautics Division informed the Conservancy they would need to have a long-term repair plan to continue to operate as a public airport.

In a timely coincidence, a Navy Seabee happened to be visiting the airport with the Innovative Readiness Training process. The Seabee suggested the Conservancy reach out to military personnel to form a partnership that could see military training benefits, but also make repairs to the runway. The Conservancy worked with the Office of Assistant Secretary of Defense, U.S. Navy personnel and I Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Pendleton for more than 18 months to forge this partnership.

The Conservancy reached out to the military to repair the runway, which the Conservancy had been spending an average of $250,000 a year to patch. California Department of Transportation’s Aeronautical Division informed the Conservancy in Sept. 2018 that update would be needed to keep Airport in the Sky a public airport.

The release continued: “This partnership is a win-win for all: The Airport in the Sky’s runway will be repaired – adding 75-100 years of life to the Island’s main airstrip – and the Department of Defense, the Marines and Sailors (Seabees) will benefit from the unique training opportunity which targets construction skills and mission essential tasks.”

The runway repair project is quoted at $5 million dollars, which includes an estimated $1 million savings the Conservancy will receive by outsourcing the project to the military.

“Because the Runway Repair Project provides a training opportunity, the Marines and Navy are bringing the equipment, troops, housing, meals and other tools needed for pouring the concrete to the Island and will perform the repairs at no cost to the Conservancy,” said the release.

What should visitors know during construction?

More than 70 U.S. Marines and Navy sailors arrived on the island on Jan. 9 in addition to 30 that had arrived the previous week.

While the main runway will be closed for construction, tourists will still have the chance to visit the airport’s restaurant, DC3 Grill, the Nature Center and nearby trails. Another draw is that visitors will be able to watch the Marines and Seabees construct the project.

There will be no disturbances in Avalon as military will be flown directly to the site.

At this time, the Conservancy estimates the runway will be open in April if, of course, weather and other factors cooperate.

A release said, “The Marines and Sailors expect to finish repairs by late March 2019, and the airport is slated to re-open to the public soon thereafter, depending on weather and other factors. The troops will work six days a week and they will rotate on and off the

Island over the course of the project, ensuring more Marines and Sailors benefit from the training opportunity.”

Strangely enough, this is a bit of a history repeat and this is not the first time U.S. military forces have occupied the island – military also has connection to the Island during World War II and the Civil War. Famously, Marilyn Monroe lived on the island while her first husband was enlisted.

The Conservancy has invited

members of the public to witness the project for themselves. Wildlands Express shuttles are scheduled to take visitors to the airport. Call 310-510-0143 for more information about shuttle times and to make a reservation. For more information about Catalina Island Conservancy, visit catalinaconservancy.org. The Log will review the implications of the federal government shutdown on this project in our next issue.

Plastics and coastal protection bills highlight first round of proposals

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO—Sacramento is back in session, complete with a new class of legislators and a different man in the gubernatorial mansion. The 2019-2020 legislative session is already seeing a spate of new proposals hitting the Capitol Hill floor. Proposals will continue to be crafted during the next few days and weeks, but the bills already introduced show a variety of environmental issues to be debated and fleshed out during the next eight to nine months. Some of those proposals directly affect California’s angling and recreational boating communities.

Here is a quick look at some of the legislative bills anglers and boaters might find worthy of following between now and October, when all bills must be decided upon.

Single-Use Plastic Waste (SB 54) State Sens. Ben Allen and Scott Wiener introduced Senate Bill 54 (SB 54) on the legislative floor in December 2018; the bill proposes to reduce the amount of single-use plastic waste entering onto beaches and into the Pacific Ocean. Such plastic waste, according to language of the bill, ends up “costing local governments millions of dollars in cleanup costs.”

SB 54 did not provide any details, however, of what the state would do to proactively keep single-use plastic waste out of beaches and the ocean.

The bill, instead, merely stated it would be the state legislature’s intent “to enact legislations that would significantly reduce the amount of single-use plastic waste entering California’s waste stream, polluting our oceans, littering our local communities and beaches,

done absolutely nothing to get them to use it,” Schiafone said. “The only action that I have taken is to communicate to our paddleboard and kayak rental companies to make certain they instruct their customers to stay clear of the island and to not bother or harass the sea lions.”

The jury is still out on whether the offshore island is an official success, but Schiafone does believe the 30-by30 wooden dock is one of the better solutions offered to date.

“We don’t know for certain [whether the island is working]. We do know that the sea lions seem to stay off of all other docks inside the harbor. At this point I am beginning to believe

that the sea lions like having a location exclusive to them,” Schiafone told The Log. “They also seem to like having the ability to congregate with many other sea lions, similar to Pier 39 in San Francisco. At this point, we are just happy they avoid our other docks.”

Sea Lion Island, according to Schiafone, has become quite the tourist attraction – which the harbor manager sees as a positive. There are, however, at least two concerns.

“The biggest problem is that our transient docks are not gated, so visitors like to get too close to snap a picture, even though they pass several warning signs along the way,” Schiafone said. “The [other] negative is the heavy smell and noise due to the concentration of the sea lions in one

area.”

The Log has reached out to two other harbors to gain perspective on whether they are taking measures to manage the relationship between local users and sea lions. Los Angeles County officials who oversee operations at Marina del Rey failed to reply to The Log’s repeated attempts to obtain any perspectives. The Log’s requests for what Dana Point Harbor officials are doing to manage the local sea lion population were eventually directed to a spokesperson with Dana Point Harbor Partners. The spokesperson stated Dana Point Harbor would manage the local sea lion population with tactics approved by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. “Management of the Dana Point

Does one size fit all or is management of sea lions at any given harbor contingent upon a variety of factors specific to the given waterway? The small sample size of this article certainly does not provide any finality, meaning this is an issue The Log will continue reporting upon and analyzing.

Newport Beach Harbor Commission approves revamped design for Newport Marina The commercial marina’s plans to reconfigure the layout, which changed from an initial proposal submitted in 2016, has irked some residents of homes nearby.

NEWPORT BEACH—Mess with a Californian’s view of the water, prepare for public outcry. A plan to reconfigure a commercial marina, Newport Marina located at 2888 Bayshore Drive, in Newport Beach dating back to 2016 has drawn harsh criticism from residents in the area.

The city’s harbor commission approved the initial project in 2016, but with suggestions asking the applicant to resubmit. In an unusual twist, however, Newport Marina submitted brand new plans altogether in 2018. City staff, determining the 2018 proposal was a completely different project from the 2016 proposal, were asked to review the latest proposal as if it were new.

In the original plans, Newport Marina had proposed to ingress and egress to the back of the marina by the southern entrance adjacent to a property on Bayshore Drive. The

neighbor appealed the plan because of a potential for a boat to drift into the water space. The 2016 proposed project was discussed at length over a series of Harbor Commission meetings.

Instead of resubmitting the project’s plans, Newport Marina sought to address the concerns in a new plan.

According to the staff report, “The new 2018 design addresses all of the concerns raised in 2016 by eliminating a back channel and corresponding access on the south side. The applicant has also proposed that the southernmost finger by an additional 6 inches

from the property line as an extra buffer.”

Residents in the homes nearby have complained that the large commercial vessels interfere with views and have also been bothered by the city’s lack of notification concerning the change.

In a letter from Bayshores Community Association, an association that is comprised of 249 residences, dated Dec. 28, 2018, it reads: “It has come to our attention that the Newport Marina was recently issued an Approval in Concept (AIC) to redevelop the marina with a plan that is substan-

tially different from what was approved by the Harbor Commission in 2016.

While we acknowledge the marina owner’s right to reconstruct the marina, the City’s lack of notification is troubling. We are informed that the affected property owners in Bayshores also did not receive notice and are appealing the decision to grant the Approval in Concept.”

The letter continued to address concerns for security and large boats of 80 feet impacting views, privacy and causing noise, which was consistent with other complaints received by the city.

Newport Beach Harbor Commission members recommended the project, but asked for more information in relation to the California Environmental Quality Act. Carol Jacobs Assistant City Manager for Newport Beach told The Log in an email on Jan. 18: “We do not have an appeal as of yet. The appellants have until next week [week of Jan.21] to appeal the decision.”

If in the incident the appeal is made after this article has gone to press, then it will be updated online with further information.

Catalina Connection

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

AVALON—Harbormaster James “JJ” Poindexter received a Christmas miracle at the end of December 2018 when boaters heeded weather warnings.

Poindexter told The Log: “The best part of this holiday was that no boats were on the beach, no injuries. I call that a good holiday … It was kind of ironic because we just had our yearly memorial for our harbor patrol officer Tim Mitchell the night before.”

Mitchell, a 39-year-old harbor patrol assistant, was killed on duty in 2014 during a storm. While trying to save King Neptune, a diving vessel for ScubaLuv, Mitchell tried to jump ashore as the boat ran aground, pinning him between the boat and the harbor rocks. According to an article that ran in Los Angeles Times in 2015, Mitchell was a recent U.S. citizen via New Zealand, had been a dive instructor on Catalina for 10 years and a reserve firefighter for 5 years prior to joining the harbor patrol. Sadly, his

death served as an example of how dangerous waters can be during bad storm conditions on Catalina Island no matter how experienced one is with the sea.

To make sure boaters safely navigated the storm, harbor patrol passed out flyers with weather warnings and referenced the storm of 2014.

“Even though I’m sure some people had tickets for the ball [Avalon’s annual New Year’s Eve Ball], they got the impression that we [harbor patrol] were serious about this weather event. The storm hit about 6pm on the 31st [of Dec.] with a vengeance, and lasted for about 36 hours. The wind topped out at about 40kts with sustained winds of The storm raging at Avalon’s boardwalk, just near the beach, during the end of Dec. 2018. Fortunately, boaters 30-35 knots and about 6-8 feet seas heeded warning by the harbor department and no people – or boats – were harmed during the storm. in the harbor throughout the night,” Poindexter continued.

Poindexter is a big advocate of callharbor even larger vessels. patrol who are responsible for the ing Avalon’s harbor department before As witnessed by the events of 2014, safety of all moored in the harbor. departing from the Mainland to check being safe on the waters is not only Avalon Harbor Patrol can be in on the weather forecast.

MARINA DEL REY—America’s Cup is the oldest international sport with origins dating back to 1851. From San Francisco Bay to New Zealand, the most skilled sailors around the world vie to win the ultimate prize – the Auld Cup, the most prestigious reward for a yachting competition. That said, there is a lot of information and interesting knowledge to garner on this exciting sporting event and fans of America’s Cup will not want to miss the free presentation by California Yacht Club (CYC).

For yachting adventurers of all ages and levels, CYC will host Tucker Thompson,

the official commentator of the previous America’s Cup, and Terry Hutchinson, a world-class sailor who won Rolex’s Yachtsman of the Year and who is the current skipper/executive director of American Magic. Only the best sailors participate in America’s Cup and must be invited to race.

Another fun fact – well, it could be fun for those who like a challenge – is that the defending champion always chooses the next location of the race. America’s Cup World Series will take place in October in Cagliari, Sardinia.

Hutchinson will be speaking on behalf of New York Yacht Club with American Magic, a nonprofit organization that aims to reintroduce the American sailing base

to the competitive sailing tradition of America’s Cup. Thompson, who is a seasoned sailing event announcer, sailed with America True in the 2000 America’s Cups and will also speak on his experience. Both speakers will undoubtedly have much to discuss on the topics of preparing for the race, what to look forward to, and other highlights of the next installment.

This event will take place on Feb. 22 at 7:30 p.m. at CYC in Marina del Rey at 4469 Admiralty Way. As a public service event, there will be no charge and members and non-members alike are welcome to attend.

SCYA Midwinter Regatta returns in February, celebrates 90 years

By Devon Warren-Kachelein SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—Southern California Yachting Association (SCYA) previously announced it would be holding its 90th Midwinter Regatta on the weekends of Feb. 9 and 10, and the following weekend on Feb. 16 and 17.

The nation’s largest sailing competition, which offers 26 venues, attracts more than 600 competing boats, 100 classes and more than 2,500 sailors is a great time for sailors to network and have fun on the water.

This year’s two-week format will stretch from Morro Bay to Baja California, encompassing many clubs in the Southern California region.

According to a release by SCYA, “This yachting tradition is a chance to test your skills against the best skippers on the West Coast or provide an opportu-

nity to experience the thrill of competitive racing for the first time.”

The Midwinter Regatta gives hosting yacht clubs the chance to show off what they have to offer the sailing community. Many of the major yacht clubs on the West Coast will participate. A full listing of participating clubs is available on the official website with links to register, entry prices and Notice of Race. U.S. Sailing members can deduct $2 from the entry fee; host clubs may charge additional fees.

SCYA has contributed 98 years of service and continues to sponsor a variety of boating events, safety courses, club management training and more.

Interested parties can register for the 2019 Midwinter Regatta online at scyamidwinderregatta.org. Sailing instructions and other race documents can also be found on the website at this time. For information about adding a region or sailing class, contact co-chairpersons Roger Salway or Helen Hawkins at race@DWYC.org.

The nation’s biggest sailing competition is back, boasting 26 venues, 100 classes and more for two weekends.

San Diego Yacht Club participates in last year’s SCYA Midwinter Regatta.

Islands Race to celebrate 10th year Regatta hosted by San Diego and Newport Harbor yacht clubs will again cover 134 nautical miles.

SAN DIEGO—The 2019 Southern California sailing calendar is back in action, with San Diego and Newport Harbor yacht clubs set to host the 10th annual Islands Race, Feb. 15-16.

Competitors will cover 134 nautical miles as they sail from Long Beach to Catalina and San Clemente Islands before crossing the finish line at Point Loma. More than two-dozen boats are expected to participate in the Islands Race regatta, which starts at Long Beach Harbor.

The Islands Race, being one of the first racing events of the calendar year, doubles as a practice run for Newport Harbor YC’s Cabo Race, an 800-nautical-mile regatta taking place in the spring.

Islands Race competitors, of course, won’t be sailing for three to four days, as they would during the Cabo Race.

San Diego and Newport Harbor yacht clubs will celebrate the 10th running of the Islands Race. The regatta kicks off on Feb. 15 in Long Beach and runs south to San Diego. Competitors will spend one night at sea before crossing the finish line in Point Loma on Feb. 16.

Sailors competing in the Islands Race will instead only have one overnight at sea.

“Competitors in the Islands Race will head offshore in west to northwest trade-winds that flow southward down

the coast. Boats will typically encounter better sailing winds in the evening, as they get further into the trades, and round Catalina and San Clemente islands. However, as they pass to windward of these islands, they are exposing themselves to larger swells and wind waves that are not blocked by the islands,” a San Diego YC statement about the Islands Race said.

Race organizers say the sailing competition is ideal for ocean-going vessels and each crew “should be trained and experienced, familiar with handling a wider range of sailing conditions, day and night.”

Roy Disney’s Pyewacket (Andrews 70) won last year’s Islands Race, followed by John Sangmeister’s OEX (Santa Cruz 70) and Shelter Island Transatlantic Partners’ Prospector (Mills 68).

A pre-race social will be held at Newport Harbor YC at 6 p.m. on Feb. 14. The awards ceremony will be at San Diego YC at 3 p.m. on Feb. 16.

Wayne Terry of San Diego YC and Grant Edgcomb of Newport Harbor YC are the race’s co-chairs. Registration is available online at www.islandsrace. com.

Three men and three women make the last cut; only one of the nominees is from California.

By Parimal M. Rohit BRISTOL, Rhode Island—U.S. Sailing announced its six finalists – three men and three women – for the 2018 Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year award, Jan. 11. The finalists are Zeke Horowitz, Jud Smith, Will Welles, Carmen and Emma Cowles, Daniela Moroz and Paige Railey.

Moroz is the only finalist from California – she’s a foiler and kiteboarder from Lafayette, a suburb of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Those in the running of the annual award are considered to represent the sailors the United States has to offer.

“All three Yachtsman finalists earned their way on to this exclusive list by winning a J/Boat World Championship in 2018 and are seasoned veterans in the sport, battle tested over time,” a U.S. Sailing statement on the finalists announcement said. “The three Yachtswoman finalists represent a combination of the youth movement currently taking form in the U.S. sailing circuit and a two-time Olympian on the comeback trail.

“All six of these sailors represent their own unique pathway to the shortlist after a triumphant season on the water in their respective boats,” the U.S. Sailing statement continued.

U.S. Sailing described Moroz, the sole finalist from California, as a “blue chip foiler.” She won Women’s Formula Kiteboard competition, for the third time in a row, at the Hempel Sailing World Championships in Aarhus, Denmark.

Moroz is also the world’s top-ranked kiteboarder; she won the most recent IKA Kitefoil World Championship in Cagliari, Italy.

Railey, who hails from Clearwater, Florida, is a two-time Olympian and winner of the 2006 World Sailor of the Year. She was also awarded the Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year title in 2006.

Her most recent finishes on the water were at the Laser Radial European Championships in La Roche, France (second place) and World Cup Series Hyères in Hyères, France (third place).

Twins Carmen and Emma Cowles of Larchmont, New York, claimed a gold medal at the Youth Sailing World Championships in Corpus Christi, Texas (women’s I-420 double-handed dinghy event). Other 2018 honors included a third place overall finish at the I-420 North American Championships in Miami, Florida and fourth overall finish at the I-420 at Kieler Woche (“Kiel Week”) in Kiel, Germany.

Horowitz is up for Yachtsman of the Year after finishing first at the J/22 World Championship in his hometown of Annapolis, Maryland. The East Coaster also won the Flying Scot North American Championship in Rockwall,

Texas and finished second at the Viper 640 North American Championship in Kingston, Canada.

Smith was Railey’s counterpart in 2006, winning the Yachtsman of the Year award that year. He finished ahead of the pack at the J/70 World Championship at Marblehead, Massachusetts. He also finished first at the Helly Hansen NOOD Regatta.

The third Yachtsman of the Year finalist is Welles, who won his second J/24 World Championship (Italy) in five years. He was also the runner-up at the J/24 North American Championship in Charleston, South Carolina.

A panel of sailing journalists and past winners will review the finalists’ credentials and select a winner in February. The final honorees will be recognized at a luncheon on Feb. 28

at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. The two winners will be presented with specially engraved Rolex timepieces.

U.S. Sailing has recognized the country’s top male and female sailor since 1961; Rolex became the presenting sponsor in 1980.

The prestigious yachtsman and yachtswoman of the year awards have been presented to 44 men and 35 women. Several sailors have won the awards multiple times, such as Ed Adams, Sally Barkow, Dave Curtis, Allison Jolly, John Kostecki, Jan O’Malley, Ken Read, Anna Tunnicliffe and Ted Turner.

SACRAMENTO—Members of California’s Fish and Game Commission will have a full agenda at their Feb. 6 meeting, the agency’s first of the year for 2019. Regulating the filleting of sheephead, updating changes on the recreational take of purple sea urchins and managing fisheries facing elevated levels of domoic acid are among the topics on the Fish and Game Commission’s Feb. 6 agenda.

Also on the agenda next month is the election of commission president and vice president; Eric Sklar is currently serving as the commission’s president, while the vice president seat is vacant. Anthony C. Williams, a recent appointee to the commission, is no longer on the dais; he will be recog-

nized for his service shortly after the election of president and vice president.

Commissioners will be considering whether regulatory changes should be made concerning the filleting of sheephead on vessels at sea.

Sheephead is one of a few fish species where filleting aboard a vessel at sea is not allowed.

The commission’s members will also be discussing whether to adopt possible changes to the recreational take of purple sea urchins. The commission adopted emergency regulations in April 2018 to increase the bag limit of the recreational purple sea urchin take along the Northern California coast.

California’s Fish and Game com-

missioners are also expected to take a stance on Japan’s decision to resume international whaling operations this year. Commissioners will discuss whether the agency would be for or against the decision and whether an official letter should be sent, on behalf of the commission, to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Also on the agenda are proposed changes to Klamath River Basin sportfishing and Central Valley salmon sportfishing, as well as a petition to determine whether the KlamathTrinity river spring Chinook salmon should be listed as an endangered or threatened species.

The meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. and take place in the auditorium of California Natural Resources Building, which is located at 1416 Ninth Street in Sacramento.

There are currently four commissioners sitting on the commission right now: Sklar, Jacque Hostler-Carmesin, Russell E. Burns and Peter S. Silva. Gov. Gavin Newsom will fill in the commission’s sole vacancy.

California representative introduces bill to consolidate protection of fish FISH Act would give Fish and Wildlife Service sole authority to regulate via Endangered Species Act.

By Parimal M. Rohit WASHINGTON, D.C.—The federal government continues to be shutdown but members of Congress are still introducing bills on the floors of both legislative houses – including one to grant the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with sole regulatory authority over the protection of fish and regulation of waterways under the Endangered Species Act, or ESA. Rep. Ken Calvert, R-California, introduced H.R. 548 on Jan. 15; the bill, which is co-sponsored by Reps. Tom McClintock, R-

California, Doug LaMalfa, R-California, Jim Costa, D-California, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Washington, and Michael Simpson, R-Idaho, would shift regulatory authority on ESA matters away from the National Marine Fisheries Service.

H.R. 548, also known as the FISH (Federally Integrated Species Health) Act, would, according to Calvert’s office, “consolidate the protection of fish and the regulation of waterways under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) into a single agency.”

“Currently, both the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have split authority over many of the same waterways under the ESA,” a statement released by Calvert’s office said. “This has caused differing – and even contradictory – regulations at times. The FISH Act places the reg-

ulatory authority solely within the FWS.” Having multiple federal agencies with regulatory authority over endangered species doesn’t make sense, according to Calvert.

“It simply makes no sense to have multiple federal agencies responsible for enforcing the ESA. This unnecessary bureaucratic duplication delays the deployment and operation of critical infrastructure that drives our economy and enhances the natural environment,” Calvert said in a released statement. “The FISH Act is a good government approach that will benefit species and all stakeholders affected by the ESA through a unified approach to managing threatened and endangered species.”

The Fish and Wildlife Service has mostly managed terrestrial and freshwater organisms, while the National Marine

California Rep. Ken Calvert introduced the FISH Act on Jan. 15 as part of an attempt to consolidate regulatory authority of endangered species into one agency.

Fisheries Services is responsible for marine wildlife, such as whales and anadromous fish (salmon, for example).

“The Federally Integrated Species Health Act would transfer NMFS’ ESA responsibilities for management of anadromous species to the FWS,” Calvert’s staff stated.

Op-Ed

California Sportfishing League encourages early fishing participation SACRAMENTO—According to a national survey, a family member introduced more than 70 percent of anglers to fishing. Such introductions and connections are critical to the future of fishing and essential to reversing the declining participation rates in California. Today, the number of diehard anglers is getting older and declining in numbers faster than the rate of new anglers.

While some states and national organizations such as the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF) are securing funds and developing programs to reverse this trend, Ish Monroe is among many who are committed to making a difference in his community of Hughson, California.

Ish competed in and won the 2018 Bassmaster Elite at on the Mississippi River. He fished with his father and childhood friends in Michigan before eventually moving to San Francisco’s Mission District.

Today, there are thousands of high school and college bass clubs in the U.S. and over 70 in California. When Ish discovered that the high school in his Central Valley town did not have a fishing club, he sought to change that.

His efforts to provide this useful opportunity for the students was much easier said than done, but with the support of students, parents and a facility who saw the value of the program, after two years, Hughson High School has a competitive bass fishing club and the membership is growing in numbers.

Even though these kids are actively fishing, many barriers still exist for far too many prospective anglers, especially for kids in low income and

minority communities. California has some of the best fishing in the country, especially bass fishing, yet it has become increasingly more difficult to fish. A fishing license is among the costliest in the country, a major barrier for prospective anglers, and the rules and regulations associated with it are more complicated than any other recreational activity. What’s more, declining fishing license revenue has resulted in smaller and fewer fish being stocked in California rivers and lakes.

But, this could be changing. With the encouragement of the California Sportfishing League, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) invited Ish to become a member of its R3 (Retain, Recruit and Reactivate) Stakeholder Group. With the support of the sportfishing industry, including his sponsor Yamaha Outboards, the state is seeking new strategies to increase fishing (and hunting) participation rates by identifying new licensing structures and strategies to remove barriers to fishing.

Needless to say, when California’s fishing rate is the lowest among all 50 states (per capita), the work of retaining and recruiting new anglers has taken on added urgency.

So, when Ish is not casting his line on the pro fishing circuit, he will be among the many Californians spending their free time introducing the next generation of anglers to fishing. He would encourage every angler to do the same. There is another Bassmaster Elite angler waiting to be discovered.

Be a part of their journey.

ESCONDIDO — We’re almost a full month into 2019, but this catch in the final days of 2018 is still worth sharing. Jason Kordan reeled in a 35.2-pound catfish aboard his boat near Senior Shoreline at Lake Wohlford in Escondido.

Kordon was one of four whopper contest winners for December. The other three winners were Javier Ramirez (10.8-pound trout), Bill Kutarnia (4.5-pound bass) and Eric Ventura (2-pound crappie).

Lake Wohlford’s whopper leaders for January are Jhonny One (10.8-pound catfish) and Hamid Seyf (5.7-pound trout). Whopper contest winners are awarded free permits for boating and fishing.

The Escondido waterway received a 1,500-pound plant of rainbow trout on Jan. 16.

SAN DIEGO—Southern Californians have seen a steady series of weather systems passing though, which have brought wind, rain and high seas. There have been a lot of days where anglers have had no choice but to stay home due to the weather but there have been some good weather days between storms, which have allowed anglers to venture out on the water and do some fishing. What is most noteworthy is bluefin tuna and kelp paddie yellowtail continue to winter in Southern California offshore waters and remain possibilities for offshore anglers.

Anglers were provided a break on Jan. 19 and 20, as they were able to venture offshore to look for bluefin and yellowtail. There were still a good number of bluefin showing in the Catalina Channel. The oilrigs and the area just south of the 14 Mile Bank prove a chance at some bluefin action.

Not many bluefin were caught over the weekend but there were a few biting.

Most of the bluefin showing lately have been in the 50- to 80-pound class and in addition to the oil rigs in the Catalina Channel and the area of the 14 Mile Bank in recent weeks bluefin have also been showing in an area 2 to 4 miles off the coast between Newport Beach and Crystal Cove as well as 2 to 5 miles off the coast between Point San Mateo and the Carlsbad Canyon.

Skippers have been locating bluefin tuna by finding spots of breaking fish, breezing fish, foaming fish, sonar marks or meter marks. Once located, anglers have had success while fishing with sardines, mackerel, Flat Fall jigs and surface iron. The live baits have been working while drifted or slow trolled.

In addition to a chance at bluefin tuna, there has been a chance at locating kelp paddie yellowtail around kelp paddies found over a big area ranging from the Catalina Channel on down to some of the banks outside of Los Coronado Islands such as the 371 Bank. One of the best sectors for the kelp paddie yellowtail fishing has been for boats fishing 3 to 15 miles off the coast outside of the stretch between Dana Point and Oceanside.

Recent trips to Los Coronado Islands have seen good numbers of assorted rockfish biting along with a chance at finding a bit of action on bonito or yellowtail. Malihini out of H&M Landing has been fishing Los Coronado Islands lately and the 19 anglers had a fish count of 128 rockfish, 2 sculpin, 1 lingcod, 1 sheephead, 1 calico bass, 1 yellowtail and 10 bonito on Jan. 19. Malihini’s Jan. 20 full-day trip with 10 anglers returned with 50 rockfish, 37 reds and 1 sheephead.

Premier out of H&M Landing has

been running weekday half-day trips into Mexican waters that usually target rockfish. They tend to fish the lower end of the 9 Mile Bank and the hard bottom to the north and northwest of North Island on these trips. The fish count for the 12 anglers on the Jan. 18 half-day trip returned with an assortment of 120 rockfish The fishing along the San Diego area coast is providing a mix of sand bass, calico bass and sculpin and has also been producing a few halibut and bonito. There has not been much happening on yellowtail and there has been an occasional white sea bass caught incidental to fishing for bass and sculpin.

Hard bottom and structure areas have been best for the bass and sculpin and the best areas for a chance at finding bonito action have been while fishing outside of Imperial Beach, by the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, outside of the Green Tank at Point Loma, outside of Point Loma College and outside of the upper end of La Jolla. Fishing with strips of fresh frozen squid has been working well for the bass and sculpin.

The weather systems have been keeping anglers at the dock some days but to date, have yet to cause the bluefin tuna and kelp paddie yellowtail to depart local offshore waters to winter elsewhere. Watch the weather forecasts closely and choose the good weather days and enjoy the fun fishing the winter months can offer be it fishing offshore, fishing along the coast or at the local islands. Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!
