BIZARRE

By LINDSEY GLASGOW BENI SUEF, EGYPT—A man fishing in Egypt had to go to the emergency room after a small fish he caught ended up lodged in his windpipe.

The 40-year-old man came into an emergency room in Beni Suef, Egypt, gasping for breath and unable to speak.

After examining the man, doctors diagnosed the blockage in his windpipe as caused by a fish, leaving just enough space for a little air to get through and prevent the man from suffocating before even reaching the hospital.

The doctors performed an endoscopic surgery and managed to extract the fish. In a 33-second video of the operation posted online, a doctor is seen using one hand to pry open the man’s mouth while

trying to extract the fish with the other.

The surgery was reportedly a success, and apart from some minor bleeding, the patient was reported to be fine and expected to make a full recovery.

Dr. Ali Al-Hajri, the ear, nose and throat specialist who managed to remove the fish from the patient’s throat, told Egypt’s Channel One television channel that if the man had been brought in only a few minutes later, he would have suffocated.

After the operation, the fisherman reportedly told doctors he had just caught a small fish when he noticed that the line of another fishing rod was pulling. Desperate to not let his second catch get away, he put the first fish in his mouth so he could free up his hands. The live, slippery fish managed to break free and down the man’s throat where it got stuck.

A doctor in Egypt pulls a live fish from an angler’s mouth after the fish became lodged in his throat in a bizarre accident.

USS Sequoia – The Floating White House

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT WASHINGTON, D.C.—The 2020 Race for the White House came and went on Nov. 3. But did you know there was a yacht known as “The Floating White House?” USS Sequoia was a presidential yacht and served eight presidents between 1931 and 1977.

The 95-year-old, 104-foot yacht was a significant part of U.S. history.

A 2019 article about the restoration of USS Sequoia stated the yacht, which was indeed known as the Floating White House, was where several key events occurred during its 40-plus-year run as a place for U.S. presidents.

The eight presidents who had USS Sequoia at his disposal were: Herbert Hoover; Franklin Delano Roosevelt; Harry Truman; Dwight Eisenhower; John F. Kennedy; Lyndon B. Johnson; Richard Nixon; Gerald Ford; and, Jimmy Carter.

What happened aboard USS Sequoia, you might be asking? We’ll never know everything that happened aboard, but MegaYacht News stated the yacht helped Kennedy celebrate his 46th – and last – birthday. USS Sequoia was also the site where Nixon made his decision to resign in 1974, according to MegaYacht News.

Carter reportedly sold the yacht, ending Sequoia’s long run as a presidential annex.

USS Sequoia MegaYacht News said Carter made the decision to sell the yacht, because it was “unbecoming for the President to have such a luxury during tough economic times.”

An oral interview with Carter, published by the JFK Library, indicated the 39th President took some heat for selling the yacht.

“People thought I was not being reverent enough to the office I was holding, that I was too much of a peanut farmer, not enough of an aristocrat, or something like that,” Carter said in the published oral interview.

USS Sequoia became a National Historic Landmark in 1987 and is now owned by Equator Capital Group.

The yacht was built in 1925 in New Jersey.

WORLD NEWS

news briefs NATION/WORLD Canada floats new fee for pleasure craft OTTAWA, CANADA—Transport Canada, the country’s governmental department responsible for transportation policies and programs, has floated a plan to expand the number of pleasure craft that require a license, shorten the renewal period and introduce a user fee on those licenses.

Transport Canada signaled its intention to amend the small vessel regulations in a presentation prepared for a virtual meeting of the Canadian Marine Advisory Council in early November.

Right now, only pleasure craft with an engine over 9.9 horsepower need a license — and it’s free.

Proposals introduce a user fee and make a license mandatory for any boat above six meters, regardless of engine size. The user fee is undefined.

Transport Canada intends to end lifetime non-renewable licenses and reduce the license-re-

newal period from 10 years to five. The proposed rule changes would provide the government with more information to identify the owners of recreational boats abandoned or wrecked in Canada’s lakes, rivers and oceans.

The amended regulations are expected to go to the treasury board in 2021. The federal cabinet committee oversees government financial management.

I am in the market for a motor yacht in the 50-foot range and would like some information regarding the assessment of sales tax on my purchase. My broker suggested I should form an LLC to buy the boat, since a purchase by an LLC would be tax-exempt. Is this accurate?

I would be looking at a significant tax bill on this purchase, so I want to know what to expect before I make my offer.

QUESTION:

ANSWER: The simple answer to our reader’s question is a resounding “NO.” An LLC is a taxpayer like anyone else, and it is not automatically exempt from the assessment of sales or use tax on the purchase of a boat. But let’s look at this in more detail.

Our reader, like many people in the market for a boat, is concerned about the assessment of sales tax or use tax on his purchase (sales tax is assessed on the purchase of a new boat from a dealer and use tax is assessed at the same rate on a used boat). The exact assessment varies from county to county, but the rate in California is now generally close to ten percent. That will add up to a significant tax bill regardless of the purchase price, and as such the yachting community has always looked for strategies to avoid that expense.

Sales tax law varies from state to state. California will assess sales or use tax if the boat is (1) purchased in California OR (2) purchased for “use” in California. California’s territorial boundary extends three Please see ATTORNEY, page 17

THE GREAT STORM OF 1914 SANTA BARBARA— On Jan. 25, 1914, a storm dumped 9.36 inches of rain within 48 hours in the Santa Barbara area, gaining the title of “The Great Storm of 1914.” This photo of Cabrillo Boulevard shows the flood damage of the storm. Stearns Wharf is between the two buildings on the right. According to an article in the Jan. 27, 1914 issue of the Los Angeles Herald, practically every bridge was swept away, boulevards devastated and houses, railway stations and public buildings marooned in several feet of water.

“At 2 o’clock this morning the high tide, one of the highest of the year, finished the demolition of the ocean front boulevard, begun yesterday by the storm,” the article went on to say. “The damage will amount to several hundred thousand dollars. The residence of Dr. R. W. Hill, landmark of the Rincon road, has been washed into the sea.”

LOCAL Port of San Diego conducts lighting test on the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge SAN DIEGO —The Port of San Diego

conducted the first ever overwater lighting field test as part of the San DiegoCoronado Bay Bridge Lighting Project, the next step in a multi-step process to artistically illuminate a portion of the 2.1-mile bridge span from the Coronado shoreline to Harbor Drive in San Diego.

The testing took place nightly between 6:15 p.m. and midnight from Nov. 8, to Nov.14. Lighting in different colors, combinations, sequencing, and arrangements were intermittently visible on the three columns.

The test was a significant milestone in the project, which aims to provide San Diego residents and visitors an artistic architectural lighting installation that will illuminate the structure at night and create a unique aesthetic identity for the bridge and the bay after dark.

“This bridge lighting test provides San Diego a unique opportunity to see what’s possible and how the infusion of technology and art can make people feel connected to, and inspired by, our beautiful waterfront,” said San Diego Board of Port San Diego Board of Port Commissioners Commissioner Marshall Merrifield in a released statement. “Our goal is to ignite the imaginations of every person in the San Diego region, and after years of dedicated time to the project, bring forward a viable, beautiful addition to the nighttime skyline.”

In addition to public input, the Port will initiate plans to proceed with environmental review as the next step of the project. For more information about the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge Lighting Project, visit portofsandiego. org/illuminate.

PIER 32 MARINA

The California Coastal Commission formally approved proposed changes for Oceanside’s J-Dock, which was built 55 years ago and showing significant signs of aging.

Boater’s Lounge/Workout Room Pier 32 Waterfront Grill—Open for Outside Dining Trailer Storage/Pool & Spa

Oceanside Harbor’s J-Dock replacement approved by Coastal Commission The upgrade will bring new infrastructure for 48 boat slips and slightly reduce overwater coverage.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT O CE ANSIDE —The California Coastal Commission approved a proposed replacement of the J Dock at Oceanside Harbor, Nov. 5. Plans call for a complete overhaul of the gangway, walkways and fingers. Other upgrades include new electrical and potable water services. The project will not replace the existing piles.

Overwater coverage of the new dock would be reduced slightly. The new J Dock would cover 17,081 square feet of water, down from the existing 17,102 square feet.

“The reconfiguration of the existing northwestern gangway to an ADA-certified gangway will increase the gangway’s overwater coverage, but several small sections of the existing dock will be removed in order to compensate for this increase,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners.

Coastal Commission staff said the number of slips, and the slip mix, will remain unchanged.

“The existing walkway, fingers, gangways, and utilities will be replaced and, in some instances, reconfigured. The walkways and fingers will be replaced in-kind with floats made of expanded polystyrene foam fully encapsulated in lightweight concrete,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “The existing 35foot gangway at the northwestern end of the dock will be replaced with a new aluminum 80-foot ADA-certified gangway with a security gate. The existing 35-foot gangway at mid-dock will be replaced with a new aluminum 38-foot gangway.”

Some “bottom disturbance” is expected as part of the J Dock replacement

project, mostly associated with the use of temporary anchors. The anchors will be used to secure new dock floats as they are being assembled.

There are no eelgrass or other sensitive habitats in the J Dock area, according to Coastal Commission staff. The city of Oceanside, however, must conduct surveys to ensure no new eelgrass growth at the project area, should it occur, be affected. If eelgrass or other sensitive habitats do develop in the project area and they are negatively affected, the city must mitigate those harms, per the California Eelgrass Monitoring Program.

“Construction is anticipated to take place from February 2021 through May 2021, which is typically a period of lower public use of the harbor,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “Approximately ten slip renter parking spaces near the J Dock will be used to temporarily stage materials and equipment. Pedestrian detours will maintain access while public walkways adjacent to J Dock are temporarily inaccessible during the unloading of floats.

“The existing dock structure will be disassembled using hand tools and a work boat, and the materials will be removed using either a land-based crane or forklift or a waterside barge mounted crane,” Coastal Commission staff continued. “The new dock system will be manufactured off-site and shipped to the site by truck. The new docks will be placed in the water by land-based crane or forklift and assembled using hand tools.”

Coastal Commission staff said J Dock has outlived its useful life. The dock, according to Coastal Commission staff, “has experienced extensive corrosion since its construction [more than] 55 years ago.”

Oceanside Harbor opened to boaters in 1963 It is operated by the city of Oceanside. There are 30 docks and 960 slips, which recreational and commercial boaters can lease on a monthly or daily basis.

J Dock is home to 48 recreational boat slips.

Huntington Harbour Boat Parade photo

Huntington Harbour Boat Parade organizers say they plan to move forward with the annual holiday event “rain, shine or pandemic.”

HUNTINGTON HARBOUR BOAT PARADE LONE IN-HARBOR SURVIVOR OF PANDEMIC

As of the time this paper went to press, Huntington Harbour, was the only harbor in Southern California planning to hold their holiday boat parade. Villa Park Dry Land Boat Parade was also set to be held.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—A decades old

tradition for ringing in the holiday season in many Southern California harbors will take a hiatus this year. Holiday boat parades have been canceled in many harbors due to Covid-19 and related restrictions, with Huntington Harbour the only one still planning to move forward with their annual event.

Lara Anderson, Public Relations Chair for the Huntington Harbour Parade, said they have been granted permits for the parade to held Dec. 12 and 13 and plan to move forward “rain, shine or pandemic.”

“We’re trying to manage it and keep the tradition going as best we can this year,” Anderson said.

The harbor is much smaller than its neighbors and is mostly residential.

Anderson said their event is not about bringing people to the harbor and more about thanking the residential community for decorating their home for their

major fundraiser, the Cruise of Lights.

The Cruise of Lights offers narrated boat tours to view lights and animated displays on homes, docks, decks and boats to raise funds for Youth Music Programs for the Philharmonic Society of Orange County. The Cruise of Lights will not be held this year due to Covid-19 related restrictions.

“We’re doing the parade regardless, even though we can’t have our fundraiser, as a gesture of good will to the community,” Anderson said.

With limited public watching areas, Anderson said they are really discouraging people from outside the area from coming to see the parade.

“We are not set up for large crowds, there’s not huge areas where people can watch the parade,” Anderson said. “The safest place to see the parade is to be in the parade on your own boat.”

With Covid-19 restrictions in place for gatherings, she said she is hoping homeowners who would usually host watch parties at their homes will participate in the parade instead. She herself typically hosts a big Christmas party at her house but entered the parade instead this year.

“We’re going to be in the boat parade for the first time,” Anderson said. “I really hope we get more people on their boats and joining us this year.”

Anderson said they have 28 boats signed up and are hoping to get at least 40. There is no fee to enter for non-commercial boats. For more information or to enter a boat in the Huntington Harbour Boat Parade visit hhboatparade.org.

With all Southern California counties in Tier 1 (as of the time this paper went to press), the lowest ranking in Governor Gavin Newsome’s four-tier coronavirus tracking and guideline system for re-opening, many harbors have had to rethink their plans.

For larger harbors, such as San Diego, the challenge of managing large crowds was too much to overcome. The San Diego Bay Parade of Lights typically brings more than 100,000 San Diego residents and visitors to the shores of the bay

each year. The parade committee ultimately decided to cancel the event, making it the first time in the past 48 years it won’t be held due to something besides weather.

“We’re very disappointed” San Diego Bay Parade Chairman Larry Baumann said. “In order to get the permits to do this we had to somehow mitigate crowds on the shoreline and there was just no way to guarantee that could be done.”

Baumann said they are working on putting together a “best of” video featuring highlights from parades over the past 20 years for people to watch at home.

In addition to spreading holiday cheer, the holiday boat parades in many harbors, including San Diego, are a major economic driver for local harbor businesses. Baumann said one of the reasons the parade was held on a Sunday night was to stimulate business during a typically quiet time.

“A lot of businesses were anticipating a little bit of a tick up in volume with the parade,” Baumann said.

Dana Point Harbor and Newport Beach Harbor had been planning to continue on with their parades but news of their cancelations came just a few weeks before the events.

“The Parade has a century long tradition of being Newport Beach’s ‘Christmas Card to the World,’” Parade Co-Chair Larry Smith said in a released statement.

“This year, our message must clearly reflect the safety and wellbeing of all concerned. To all our partners, participants and supporters of this rich holiday tradition, we hope you will agree.”

The Rings of Lights, Newport Beach’s home decorating contest, will still go forward. Homes interesting in participating can register at christmasboatparade. com/ring-of-lights-entry-form/.

Dana Point Harbor Partners said they made the difficult decision because they felt the new guidelines and restrictions would make it too challenging to ensure safety of large groups of visitors the parade attracts to the harbor.

“We are hopeful our boaters will still decorate their vessels and keep a festive tone within the harbor,” said Ralph Grippo, Principal at Bellwether Financial Group, which is part of Dana Point Harbor Partners and in charge of guiding marina operations, in an email.

Avalon voters favor Measure H, approving cross channel and harbor mooring tax The special transportation tax will begin in 2022 and will help fund the replacement of the Catalina Island Medical Center (CIMC).

By LINDSEY GLASGOW AVALON—Avalon voters in November voted in favor

of a revised measure proposing a tax on cross channel passengers and harbor moorings to help fund the replacement of the Catalina Island Medical Center (CIMC). The initiative, Measure H, appeared on the Nov. 3 ballot and passed with 71 percent of voters in favor, according to uncertified results.

“We’re just excited that the community understands the importance of health care on the island and the future of health care on the island and just came out in droves to support it,” Catalina Island Medical Center Foundation Board of Directors member Shannon Hill said.

The measure will impose a $1 per day, per vessel visitor fee for those using harbor moorings. It will also place a fee on passengers on ferries, cruise ships and aircrafts with that fee phased in, starting at 50 cents round trip in 2022, increasing to $1 round trip in 2023 and capping at $2 round trip in 2024. Due to the current economic climate, the tax won’t start until 2022.

The measure also includes a sunset clause, stating the special tax would end in 40 years or whenever the construction costs are paid off, whichever happens sooner.

“The island doesn’t only take care of its residents, it’s also got a huge responsibility to take care of the people who visit the island,” Catalina Island Medical Center Foundation Chief Communications & Development Officer Tina Minh said.

CIMC must build a new hospital in order to comply with the California Hospital Association Seismic Safety mandate, whereby all California hospitals must operate from facilities that are deemed earthquake-safe by 2030, or be ordered to close. Hill said they are not able to retrofit the

current hospital because the cost would be too high and there’s not enough space to do it. Should CIMC not meet the 2030 deadline, the medical center would be required to shut down.

Minh said they have a lot of catching up do to comply with the mandate, which was set in 1994.

“So much of what we want to accomplish as an organization, especially from a philanthropic perspective, so much of that rests on the passage of Measure H so it was really a sigh of relief,” Minh said.

The new facility will be built on 2.5 acres near Quail Canyon donated by Catalina Island Company in 2019. According to CIMC, the new facility will provide more space to meet the needs of the island, whose population and number of visitors have quadrupled since the hospital opened in 1960.

Plans for the new hospital include an improved emergency room design and new services, including mammography, infusion therapy for cancer, expanded physical and occupational therapy, inpatient care, additional visiting specialists, colonoscopies, outpatient orthopedics, and cataract removals.

A recent hospital replacement study conducted

by CIMC analyzed the patterns of where patients with an Avalon zip code of 90704 go to receive care.

It showed that CIMC captures approximately 15 percent of the total healthcare dollars, meaning 85 percent of all health care dollars are spent on the mainland. Some individuals on a Catalina Island discussion Facebook group said that was due to the hospital not accepting their health insurance.

The special transportation tax is just one part of the fundraising effort for the new facility, CIMC will also rely donors to raise enough to make the new medical center a reality, which is what Minh said they will be focusing on next.

“We want to create an affinity, engagement and loyalty to our organization and to the island in hopes that translates into philanthropy,” Minh said.

Those interested in learning more about CIMC or getting involved can visit cimcfoundation.org/ champion/.

“You need to build an infrastructure and a pipeline of support when it comes to philanthropy and things like that don’t happen overnight and that’s really what’s next,” Minh said.

A Harbor Commission subcommittee is investigating ways of improving the city’s slip transfer policy after the Harbor Department received several concerns.

Santa Barbara’s Slip Assignment Policy Subcommittee holds first meeting The cost of transferring a slip and the cost of adding children to a slip permit were the main focuses of discussion at the Oct. 28 subcommittee meeting.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW SANTA BARBARA —Santa Barbara’s Slip Assignment Policy Subcommittee held its first meeting Oct. 28 to address slip assignment policy concerns recently raised by slip tenants and investigate ways of improving the policy. Concerns brought to the Waterfront Department included the cost of the slip transfer fee,

the inability to add children or grandchildren to a slip permit without paying a transfer fee and concerns about paying a county possessory interest tax.

Waterfront Department Director Mike Wiltshire provided background and information on the city’s current slip assignment policy at the Harbor Commission meeting on July 16 in response to the public’s concerns and on Sept. 17, the Harbor Commission formed a subcommittee to look into ways of improving the policy.

The cost of transferring a slip permit to a child became one of the major focal points of the Oct. 28 meeting, which was mostly spent diving into the policy and answering questions about it.

“We shouldn’t be adding $20,000 to add an adult child to an existing slip, it’s

an outrage,” said William Nash, in a public comment.

Wiltshire and Assistant City Attorney Sarah Knecht discussed the legal reasons why children and grandchildren cannot inherit a slip, including the Public Lands Doctrine.

“These slips are held in trust for the public and to protect that public trust,” Knecht said. “That is why the State Lands Commission, the Attorney General, the grand juries have looked at this process many times through the years and said these slips cannot be transferred and held from the public through time and not come back to the Waterfront Department.”

Some of the public speakers acknowledged the Public Lands Doctrine issue but urged the subcommittee to push for a lower price tag for family transfers.

Meanwhile, others said the overall cost of the slip transfer fee makes it hard for the working class to even afford a slip in the harbor.

“Your argument is that you are saving the public asset for the public through the high transfer fee and I just want to say it’s really prohibitive for the working class, this high transfer fee, so in a way

it’s saving the public asset for the people who make a lot of money,” one commenter said.

The transfer fee currently ranges from $200 a foot for slips less than 20 feet to $525 a foot for slips between 35 feet and 100 feet. The waterfront bases the cost of the transfer fee on private market value, with the fee ranging from 5 to 35 percent of the market value of the slips.

“It’s hard to talk about the slip transfer fee without talking about the inheritance issue, if we start talking about changing some of those then the budget gets impacted, one begets the other and I think that’s what we’ve wrestled with,” Santa Barbara Harbor Commissioner Jim Sloane, who is one of the three members on the subcommittee, said.

Santa Barbara Harbor Commissioner Michael Nelson, who is also on the subcommittee, suggested looking at how other California coastal cities that also deal with slip transfers handle the issue.

“Part of me wants to know if somebody else has a better idea or how we might approach this thing a little bit differently,” Nelson said. “So, in terms of the information gathering that I would like to see staff prepare would be that, how does everybody else deal with this issue.”

Wiltshire said Waterfront Department staff will look into how other harbors handle slip transfers and provide the gathered information at an upcoming meeting.

In the meantime, the subcommittee will address the issue of the county possessory interest tax and how the city can help with that issue at the next meeting. Wiltshire said he will invite someone from the county to speak on the topic at the meeting. A meeting date has not yet been set.

Boaters interested in contacting the Waterfront Department regarding the city’s slip transfer policies can reach out to Wiltshire at mwiltshire@santabarbaraca.gov.

Coastal Commission approves permit for bulkhead repairs in Huntington Harbour The Westchester Bay Homeowners and Seagate Lagoon Associations sought a permit for structural repairs to an existing bulkhead in order to protect the residential development.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW SAN DIEG O —The California Coastal

Commission at it s Nov. 5 meeting a p p r o v e d a c o a s t a l d e v e lo p m e nt permit sought by the Westchester Bay Homeow ners a nd Seagate L agoon A s s o c i a t ion s t o m a k e s t r uc t u r a l repairs to a bulkhead in Huntington Harbour.

The Westchester Bay Homeowners and Seagate Lagoon Associations sought a permit to complete structural repairs to a combined 135-foot portion of an existing, 5,198-foot bulkhead at eight distinct locations. The proposed repairs include timber pile repairs placement of shore guard rigid vinyl sheetpiles flush with the existing bulkhead footings, pumping concrete grouting behind the proposed sheetpiles to eliminate exposure of the timber piles to the elements, and removal of existing concrete overpour to restore harbor bottom habitat.

According to Coastal Commission findings, erosion beneath the footings resulted in a gap between the existing footing and the natural mudline. This erosion resulted from tidal currents and exchange, vessel prop wash, and settlement, among other factors. The resulting gap has allowed aquatic lifeforms to bur-

row beneath the footings, resulting in the loss of footing support causing wall instability. This condition has also caused marine organisms to damage the timber piles. According to the findings, if protective measures are not implemented, additional damage to the bulkhead will result, causing potential failure of the bulkhead and damage to the existing, pre-coastal upland structures, including, the adjacent residences.

Coastal Commission staff deemed the bulkhead repair project necessary to protect the existing, pre-coastal residential development.

The project aims to restore the foundation of the bulkhead and to limit future erosion which may jeopardize the bulkhead’s structural integrity and ability to support the existing residences. The Coastal Act requires the commission to approve such projects when necessary to protect existing structures and when designed to eliminate or mitigate adverse impacts.

The commission unanimously approved the permit with 10 conditions. As proposed, and as conditioned, measures will be in place to protect water quality during and after construction. Also, as conditioned, surveys will be conducted pre- and post- construction to assure that any unanticipated impacts to eelgrass that may occur are addressed and to assure that the project will not result in the spread of the invasive algae Caulerpa taxifolia. A pre-construction eelgrass survey conducted on Oct. 25, 2019 found a total of 702.5 square feet of eelgrass present in the project vicinity. However, no eelgrass was found within the areas of the proposed repairs.

Measures to address the use of plastic in the marine environment are also required as special conditions.

Seaside Lagoon is being evaluated as a contingency site for a Pallet shelter temporary emergency transitional housing program, which is planned to be set up at 1521 Kingsdale Ave.

TWO WATERFRONT SITES RULED OUT FOR TEMPORARY PALLET SHELTERS, SEASIDE LAGOON BACKUP

Facebook photo

Two harbor front locations were proposed as locations to house a temporary homeless shelter but were deemed infeasible. A third proposed waterfront location, Seaside Lagoon, will be considered as a contingency if the site at 1521 Kingsdale Avenue does not work out.

By LINDSEY GLASGOW REDONDO BE ACH —Redondo

Beach’s Seaside Lagoon has been deemed a backup site for a temporary homeless shelter program should the approved location become infeasible by Dec. 30. The Redondo Beach City Council on Nov. 10 voted 4-1 to direct staff to carry out a pallet

shelter temporary emergency transitional housing program at 1521 Kingsdale Avenue, with Seaside Lagoon evaluated as a backup.

The council also approved a funding agreement with the county of Los Angeles to receive $420,000 in federal CARES Act funding for the project.

Redondo Beach has a tight deadline to get the temporary homeless shelter set up in order

to utilize the federal CARES Act funding. Per the requirements, at least one individual needs to be housed by Dec. 30. The Kingsdale site does require some prep work, prompting the council to put a contingency, Seaside Lagoon, in place should the work not be completed in time. The city would still need to get a permit or waiver from the California Coastal Commission to use Seaside Lagoon.

“I have a lot of concerns about Seaside Lagoon,” Council member Todd Loewenstein, who cast the dissenting vote, said at the Nov. 10 meeting. “We got liveaboard boaters literally across the street, a hundred feet from where this could happen, you have the Portofino, you have Seascape locations and I have a lot of concerns about the Kingsdale location.”

The program will be made of 15 Pallet shelters, tiny pre-fabricated homes with enough room to sleep two people. The temporary shelter will serve as an extension of a variety of efforts to aid the homeless the city has initiated over the past 15 months. It is also in part an effort to protect the homeless from severe illness amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Council agreed to keep the Pallet shelters in place for six months, at which time they will re-evaluate.

“If it goes sideways, we can shut it down in a month or two,” Mayor Bill Brand said at the Nov. 10 City Council meeting. “We have great security, its going to be fenced off, there’s going to be cameras, 24-hour security, that was a big contingency of ours that was met and most importantly we’ll be able to

help the homeless in Redondo.”

It had initially been proposed for the Pallet shelters to move to Moonstone Park after the first six months at the Kingsdale site. However, Moonstone Park would require a permit or waiver from the Coastal Commission and was deemed infeasible by city staff. City Attorney Michael Webb said initial feedback from Coastal Commission staff was use of Moonstone Park would raise issues related to coastal access since the area is an active coastal recreation area and a waiver would be unlikely.

Another waterfront site, the SeaLab property at 1021 N. Harbor Drive, was offered up by the new property owner as another possible location for the temporary shelter.

“I am w illing to prov ide 20,000 square feet of the property at no cost to the city for the first six months of the program as I finalize plans for its redevelopment,” Leo Pustilnikov, the SeaLab property owner, said in an email to the city.

Staff evaluated the location for suitability for the program and returned to the City Coun-

cil at the Nov. 10 meeting with a determination that it was also unfeasible. According to a staff report, the variations in grades, debris, unknown substances and material present at the site and disruptions to contiguous useful space, would require significant investment in time and cost to address the various constraints. It would also require Coastal Commission approval.

Some boaters, paddlers, and hotel managers spoke in opposition to a waterfront location at the Oct. 20 City Council meeting where the discission on the topic stretched four hours. Several members of the public also raised concerns about the Kingsdale location due to its proximity to several schools and residences. Others vocalized their support for the program at the Nov. 10 meeting.

Under City Council direction from the Nov. 10 meeting, the city will begin preparing the Kingsdale site. The council also directed the city attorney to return with an ordinance prohibiting camping within 500 yards of the emergency transitional housing facility.

IN MEMORIAM: FRANK W. BUTLER

bellingham-marine.com 800-733-5679

WOODLAND HILLS —Catalina Yachts announced the

death of its CEO, Frank Willis Butler. Butler died on Nov. 15. He was 92.

Catalina Yachts issued the following statement and eulogy: “It is with great sadness that we announce that Frank Willis Butler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Catalina Yachts, passed away November 15, 2020 in Westlake Village, CA, due to unexpected complications from a recent illness. We extend our most heartfelt condolences and sympathy to Frank’s family. Our thoughts are with them at this most difficult time.

A sailing icon and industry ‘kingspoke,’ Frank Butler has introduced hundreds of thousands of people to sailing during his lifetime. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Frank have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Frank leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Catalina Yachts.

Born in California in 1928, Frank’s line of popular sailboats put more than 85,000 Catalinas on the water throughout the yachting world. His boatbuilding career began in 1962, when he contracted with a Southern California builder for a 21-foot daysailer. The builder was unable to finish the boat and gave Butler the tooling. He completed building the boat himself, found he enjoyed the process, and agreed to take over the company.

A few years later he founded Catalina Yachts, which has grown to become the largest builder of fiberglass production sailboats in the United States, a position it holds to this day.

A key to Butler’s success in the sailboat industry was his attention to Catalina customers. Handling warranty issues himself, owners were nearly always surprised and reassured to get a personal call from Frank to discuss their concerns.

Butler was inducted into the National Sailing Hall of Fame in 2013. In recognition of his support of the Congressional Cup, a world match racing event, Long Beach Yacht Club awarded him the Crimson Blazer. He was also a founder and lifelong member of the Westlake Yacht Club in Westlake, CA. Following his graduation from Glendale High School, he served in the US Navy. He met his wife, Jean, at a school dance; they recently celebrated their 71st anniversary.

Frank is survived by Jean, their four daughters, Deborah Reese, Mary Linn, Nancy Bear, and Karen Butler; three sons, David, Robert and Steve; 20 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.

Awakening the joy of sailing for so many people in past generations, Frank Butler’s sailing legacy will certainly continue well into in future generations.”

OC PARKS SEEKS COASTAL COMMISSION SUPPORT FOR DANA POINT HARBOR APPLICATION

sociated seawall were all damaged in the 1960s.

“The Capistrano Beach Club was demolished in 1969 and the site was purchased by the County in 1979 and the Beach Park was opened the following year. The most recent beach nourishment event occurred in 2016, but given low levels of sediment input from San Juan Creek and net longshore transport of such sediment southeast past Capistrano Beach, the width of the sandy/cobble beach onsite currently ranges from zero feet to approximately 100 feet,” according to Coastal Commission staff. “During high tides and/or storm events, the amenities onsite are subject to overtopping and erosion.”

The California Coastal Commission, on Dec. 9, will consider a permit to make necessary changes at Capistrano Beach County Park, which is near Dana Point Harbor.

The county agency hopes the commission will approve its application to address certain issues on the Dana Point waterfront.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT DA N A P O IN T —Decades of planning

associated with the revitalization of Dana Point Harbor appears to finally be coming to fruition. OC Parks, which manages Dana Point Harbor, is seeking a coastal development permit (CDP) to make certain installations and removals at the waterfront.

The California Coastal Commission will consider a CDP application, filed by OC Parks, on Dec. 9. OC Parks’ permit application requests permission to remove damaged or imminently threatening public space amenities. The permit application also seeks, as part of a shoreline protection plan, permission to build defenses to sea level rise and severe storm events.

“OC Parks is also requesting approval to install approximately 870 linear feet of sandcubes … over a layer of geotextile

… [and] approximately 840 linear feet of armor rock along the seaward edge of the coastal trail and park facilities,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “The existing sandcubes and armor rock that OC Parks is seeking to retain were installed pursuant to emergency permits that have since lapsed and/or were installed without the benefit of the necessary coastal development permit.”

The sandcubes would be installed at Capistrano Beach County Park. Coastal Commission staff said the beach has historically been subject to damage as a result of storm events.

“Historically, Capistrano Beach has experienced large changes in beach width and development onsite has incurred damage due to storm events. In recent years beach widths have ranged from zero to approximately 100 feet and the built development onsite is currently vulnerable to wave runup, flooding, and erosion, which is expected to be exacerbated by climate change (sea level rise and increased frequency and severity of storm events),” Coastal Commission staff said.

The beach park has also been home to bike and pedestrian paths, a beach parking lot and other recreational amenities.

Low-cost public access and recreation-

al opportunities are also available at the park. OC Parks, through the CDP application, hopes to remove damaged public walkways, a wooden bulkhead, more than one dozen palm trees, public showers and 55 parking spaces, among other items, according to Coastal Commission staff.

“In addition, OC Parks is requesting approval to redesign the park entrance to allow for the public to enter the parking lot and turn around without first passing through the access gate and to install an elevated beach terrace (sandy area with benches and picnic tables) immediately inland of a portion of the proposed revetment,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners.

“At this time, OC Parks is proposing a short-term permit (2 to 5 years) to protect the public access and recreation amenities because it is in the process of developing mid- and long-term adaptation plans for the area,” Coastal Commission staff continued in its report to commissioners. “The mid-term plan, the Capistrano Beach Park Master Plan, is proposed to be submitted to the Commission for review and approval within the next couple of years.”

Capistrano Beach was home to a pier and beach club between the late 1920s and 1960s. The pier, beach club and as-

Master Plan amendment for Fifth Avenue Landing Project tabled Port district’s Board of Commissioners will consider proposed amendment of downtown marina at a later meeting.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SAN DIEGO —A planned public hearing for the Fifth Avenue Landing Project and Port Master Plan Amendment was rescheduled for a later date. The Port of San Diego’s Board of Port Commissioners were scheduled to receive a presentation and direction on the project and plan amendment – which included a final Environmental Impact Report – at their Nov. 10 meeting.

The presentation and direction, however, was tabled to a future meeting.

When the presentation and direction will again be on the commission’s agenda was not announced.

No details were provided by port district staff, as to what was to be included in the presentation and direction to commissioners.

The proposed project at one of the visible boating venues on the downtown waterfront could see the erection of a multi-million hotel project, which has been in the works for a few years now.

phases, likely in non-summer months.

City officials, however, requested permission to perform construction during summer months in the case of emergency, in the event of delays and to keep the project on schedule.

The playground and parking lot at Tecolote Shores South will be open to the public while construction work takes place at Tecolote Shores North (and vice versa).

The Port of San Diego has been considering a new hotel project at Fifth Avenue Landing for a few years now. Possible direction of what the project could look like was on tap to be discussed at the port district’s Nov. 10 commission meeting was re-scheduled. mental Impact Report is actually the reason why the planned expansion of Fifth Avenue Landing, where several superyachts dock in the shadows of San Diego Convention Center, has not yet progressed beyond the planning stage.

The delays are specifically due to ongoing legal discussions and port district staff needing time to finalize the Environmental Impact Report.

It appeared as if the port district was on the verge of finalizing the report when the Nov. 10 agenda was released and an item on it was dedicated to Fifth Avenue Landing. A portion of the agenda item’s heading stated a public hearing was scheduled on Nov. 10 to certify “the final Environmental Impact Report.”

The port district staff presentation and direction would also cover the “the Fifth Avenue Landing project and Port Master Plan Amendment Final Environ-

It is unclear why the public hearing was delayed and taken off the Nov. 10 agenda and calendar.

Fifth Avenue Landing has 12 berths and can accommodate boats between 65 and 300 feet in size (with a maximum draft of 6 feet). Docking at Fifth Avenue Landing include complimentary concierge for owners and crew, among other amenities.

Dawn Stofberg is the landing’s dockmaster. The landing is located at 600 Convention Way in Downtown San Diego, across from the Convention Center and adjacent to Joe’s Crab Shack.

A ferry service to and from Coronado, which is on the other side of San Diego Bay, also docks at Fifth Avenue Landing.

“The proposed project includes the removal of 18 trees; however, 34 new trees would be planted resulting in a net increase of trees. To ensure nesting birds are not impacted during the removal of the trees, [a special condition] requires the applicant to conduct a nest survey within 72 hours prior to the removal of the trees during bird nesting season (February 15th through September 15th) to determine the presence or absence of nesting birds,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners.

“If any active nests are detected, the tree will be flagged and avoided until the nesting cycle is complete,” Coastal Commission staff continued.

“Because the project is located adjacent to Mission Bay and includes a large amount of new and replaced impervious surfaces, the project has a greater potential for generating polluted runoff or changing runoff flows that may adversely impact coastal resources,” Coastal Commission staff said in a report to commissioners. “To ensure that appropriate best management practices (BMPs) are implemented in the two parking lots, [a special condition] requires the applicant to submit a stormwater plan that identifies the stormwater pollution prevention mea-

CHANNEL ISLANDS HARBOR HOSTS INAUGURAL DRIVE FOR FOOD AND TOYS Ventura County will team up with Harbor & Beach Community Alliance for Holiday & Food Drive on Dec. 12.

OX N A R D —Ventura County’s Harbor

Department has teamed up with the Harbor & Beach Community Alliance (HBCA) to spread holiday cheer this season by hosting the first-ever Holiday Food & Toy Drive from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Dec. 12 at Fisherman’s Wharf.

The Holiday Food & Toy Drive will benefit Food Share of Ventura County and the Spark of Love Toy Drive, an annual effort coordinated by local fire departments; those departments provided toys to more than 6,000 children last year.

Donations will be accepted at a drop off location at Fisherman’s Wharf on Dec. 12, located on the southwest corner of Victoria Avenue and Channel Islands Boulevard in Oxnard. Masked and gloved volunteers will be there to safely accept the donations and provide them to Food

Share and the Spark of Love Toy Drive.

Those in the harbor area will be able to schedule a boat pick of their donations from their docks. No physical contact is required when dropping off your donations or gifts.

The goal is to raise a “boat load” of food and toys. In addition, money donations to Food Share will be matched up to $5,000 and donations can be made now via text WHARF to 41444 or go to this link to donate: app.mobilecause.com/form/ gHVTMA?vid=e01hs or cash and checks may be written to “Food Share of Ventura County” and dropped off on Dec. 12.

ITEMS NEEDED The drive will include both food and toy donations to double the spirit of the holidays.

According to Food Share, the top five most needed food items are: canned tuna, chicken, and salmon; cereal (non-sugar types); beans (dry and canned); rice (in 1- to 2-pound bags or mixes); and, peanut butter, but all non-perishable food items are welcome.

If you want to donate toys, bring new, unwrapped toys and/or sports

ABOUT THE HOLIDAY FOOD & TOY DRIVE HBCA and the Harbor Department are welcoming the opportunity to work together to help those struggling this challenging holiday season. Partnering for the Holiday Food & Toy Drive will demonstrate that organizations which do not always see eye-to-eye on Harbor issues can work together for the benefit of the Oxnard community and County as a whole.

Harbor Department Director Mark Sandoval said he’s excited to co-host the event in partnership with HBCA. “It’s our pleasure to co-host the Holiday

HBCA member Rene Aiu said the event is a perfect opportunity for the beach and harbor communities to step up and extend a hand to those in need this holiday season.

“Many families and children across Ventura County have been impacted by fires and the corona virus. We hope, those who are able, will generously share and donate to make this holiday a bit better for these families and children,” Aiu said.

miles into the ocean, so if the purchase can be structured to close more than three miles offshore (an “Offshore Delivery”), the buyer will satisfy the first prong of the test. The second prong involves a subjective analysis of the buyer’s intended use at the time of the purchase, which is a little more complicated. A calendar test was devised, and if the boat is kept outside of California for a period of time after the purchase it may be exempt from the tax.

Many of our readers will remember the “good old days,” when a buyer could avoid the assessment of sales or use tax by keeping the boat out of state for 90 days after the purchase. That all changed in 2008, when the test was increased to one year for California residents and six months for non-residents. This led to a significant reduction in “Offshore Delivery” transactions and a need to find some other way to avoid sales tax on a boat purchase. An LLC may provide that relief, but not in the way that our reader suggested. Simply put, the LLC must already own the boat before the buyer submits his or her offer, and the offer must be for the purchase of the LLC rather than the boat.

Where a yacht is owned by a corporation or LLC, the stock of the company may be transferred without effecting the ownership of the boat itself. The stock transfer amounts to a transfer of intangible personal property, even where the sole asset of the company is the yacht, and as such the transaction will usually be exempt from sales and use tax without the need to spend any time with the boat outside of the state.

Notwithstanding the apparent simplicity of this approach for tax purposes, a stock purchase will raise all sorts of other concerns. Most importantly, the purchase of a company will include the acquisition of all of that company’s liabilities, even where those obligations are completely unrelated to the boat, and even where the buyer has no notice of the liabilities.

Perhaps the most important risk of unrecorded or undisclosed liabilities will relate to the company’s acquisition of the boat. As noted above, just like the rest of us, a company must either pay the tax or qualify for an “offshore delivery” or other exemption. In these circumstanc-

es, the company itself is the taxpayer, and a buyer who is interested in acquiring a boat through an LLC purchase must confirm that the LLC’s tax liability was satisfied.

Other tax liabilities may be equally problematic. Corporations and LLC’s are required annually to file various forms and pay fees to the state in which they are registered. Failure to do so may subject the new owner to a charge for penalties in addition to unpaid fees. Similarly, if the company has a bank account in its name the IRS may look at whether any interest income was earned on the account.

A buyer of a boat through an LLC acquisition must also consider the language of the purchase contract. Yacht brokers are experienced with contracts used for the sale of a yacht, and the forms sponsored by the California Yacht Brokers Association are in fact very well drafted.

But as noted above, the yacht itself is not being sold when the stock or membership of a company is transferred. The parties must therefore use a contract drafted specifically for the transfer of corporate stock or interest in an LLC A boat that is owned by a corporation or LLC may provide a strategy for avoiding sales or use tax on a boat purchase, but the “baggage” associated with such a purchase may lead to more headaches for the buyer after the purchase. This type of transaction requires competent legal advice, and with all due respect to my friends in the brokerage industry, a yacht broker is neither licensed not qualified to guide the parties through the purchase and sale of a business entity. Contact an attorney who is experienced in this type of transaction.

Phase 1 of Cabrillo Mole rehabilitation project nears completion

City staff said the first phase of a rehabilitation project for the 50-plusyear-old Cabrillo Mole Ferry Terminal in Avalon was a success and the contractor is expected to demobilize this month.

tural damage due to time and corrosion from the harsh marine environment. The first phase of the project involved rehabilitating the wharf portion by reinforcing the existing concrete members and steel grates, repairing the existing concrete deck and railing, and installing pedestrian shade structures.

“The project is a success, the wharf is now rehabilitated and will provide at least another 20 years of service and if we

supplemental funds to complete the work was needed. Partially due to Covid-19, additional funding options were limited and the City Council decided to delay repairs to eight of the 21 traverse beams.

Those eight beams were previously repaired in 1990 and city staff said they have an additional five years of service life in the condition they’re in right now.

That work could be included in phase two of the project.

Due to the proposed final estimate increasing as the project went on, Greenlaw said they’ll be coming back in December with another supplemental funds request to finish out the project.

“If anyone in the community wants to come and see a tour of the project to see how we got here, or needs more explanation in the field, I’m willing to do that so just give me a call,” Greenlaw said.

Cabrillo Mole will open back up to the public until phase two work begins.

Phase two is a larger project and will include constructing a new ferry terminal building, float rehabilitation and enhancing land transportation facilities including parking areas. Preliminary design work for the second phase has begun and public outreach is tentatively scheduled to start in early December. Construction is expected to begin in early 2021.

The project is being funded by federal grants from the Federal Transit Administration in addition to local harbor matching funds. The City Council in October approved extending the sunset date on a $1 roundtrip increase on cross channel wharfage fees through June 30, 2025 to fund harbor-related capital improvements, such as this.

keep the maintenance up on it, it could be 50 years of service,” Greenlaw told the City Council.

In July, the Avalon City Council voted to modify construction plans for phase one due to budgeting shortfalls. According to city staff, as the construction progressed, the extent of the damage was found to be far greater than the design report estimated. According to city staff, the need for

 Emirates Team New Zealand has christened its official vessel for the 36th America’s Cup, Te Rehutai. The AC75 was christened on Nov. 19.

Emirates Team New Zealand hopes the vessel will help them defend its America’s Cup title.

Emirates Team New Zealand christens Te Rehutai The team’s vessel will be used to defend New Zealand’s America’s Cup title.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT NEW ZEALAND —Emirates New Zealand christened Te Rehutai, its second generation AC75 on Nov. 19; Te Rehutai will be the boat the team races to defend its title in the 36th America’s Cup. Te Rehutai was reportedly blessed and christened in front of a crowd of about 900 people.

Taiaha Hawke of Ngãti Whãtuaãrã Okei, during the christening ceremony, explained the significance behind the vessel’s name.

“Te Rehutai: Where the essence of the ocean invigorates and energises our strength and determination,” Hawke said.

Ngãti Whãtuaãrã Okei named both of Te Rehutai’s predecessors, according to a statement released by America’s Cup staff. The predecessors were named Te Aihe and Te Kãhu.

“This time we came up with some options to present to the team so they could come together collectively to decide on a name they felt resonated best with them

as a team and clearly Te Rehutai struck a chord with them,” Hawke said.

Each of the boats of the 36th America’s Cup are now on display; Te Rehutai was reportedly the last of the second generation AC75s to be launched amongst the teams competing in next year’s race.

The launch of Te Rehutai was a long time coming, according to Emirates New Zealand COO Kevin Shoebridge.

“We had our launch date for our race boat in the calendar for probably close to a year. So, it really is a huge feat that we are here launching Te Rehutai today considering we lost 5 weeks of build time in the first COVID-19 lock down,” Shoebridge said. “That is an extraordinary effort, which we haven’t ever experienced before as a team. I can’t speak highly enough of the skill and determination that the team at our build facility have shown under exceptionally challenging circumstances for not only them but our suppliers, sponsors and everyone that has contributed.”

Members of Emirates Team New Zealand have been off the water for a few weeks prior to the christening. But skipper Peter Burling said he and his teammates have been itching to put Te Rehutai to the test.

“The guys are eager to get out on the water again,” Burling said. “The designers and boat builders have done their jobs, now it is time for the sailing team

do to ours. The pressure is on for sure, but that’s where we are most comfortable so we can’t wait to race.”

The 36th America’s Cup is scheduled for March 6-21, 2021 – roughly 100 days after the publication of this issue. It remains to be seen whether restrictions associated with Covid-19 will have any bearing on the race.

N E W P O R T B E A C H —A select group of U.S. Marines stationed at Camp Pendleton will be able to spend time at home this holiday season, thanks to a Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club fundraiser.

The Bahia Corinthian YC “Special Forces Home for the Holidays” program, which was spearheaded by club member and former Marine Richard “Dick” Stone, well send more than one thousand Marines home for the final few weeks of 2020.

The program was initiated in 2003.

Enough money was raised this year to fund more than 1,000 Marines going home this holiday season, according to a Bahia Corinthian YC spokesman. “‘Home for the Holidays’ is focused on three Marine units that include the First Force Reconnaissance Company; the First Marine Special Operations Battalion; and the First Marine Radio Battalion,” Bahia Corinthian YC’s spokesman said in a released statement. “Thanks to generous donations and support from club members, each year Stone has meticulously arranged transportation for Marines to who might not otherwise be able to travel home for the holidays – and this year, Stone says this year is even more important due to the Covid pandemic and lockdown which has restricted travel for many.”

Stone said the program was initially launched to allow 10 Marines to attend the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade.

Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club has raised money to help select Marines at Camp Pendleton to go home for the holidays.

“We started ‘Home for the Holidays; in 2003 with BCYC hosting ten Marines from the First Force Recon to enjoy the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade,” Stone said. “The next year, more were invited to opening day ceremonies, then prime rib nights, and Las Commodores began hosting luncheons for wives of deployed Marines. That has expanded to our annual Toy Drive in support of the Battalion Christmas Party, which has also morphed to our successful “Home for the Holidays” program.

“The success of the program is a result of the support of our members who have generously donated funds, hosted events, and lent their time and resources in support of our troops,” Stone continued. “These Marines are the first to fight and we want them to know how much

they are appreciated, as well as acknowledge the sacrifices their families make when they are deployed.”

The U.S. Marine Corps honored Stone in 2017, when it named the Bahia Corinthian YC member as its recipient for the “Spirit of Hope Award.” The award was granted to Stone during a ceremony held at the Pentagon. Attending the ceremony and presenting Stone with his honor were then Secretary of Defense, Jim Mattis.

Also in attendance were General Paul J. Selva, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Brigadier General Dennis A. Crall, Director, C4/Chief Information Officer of the US Marine Corps.

SAN DIEGO YC’S ONEDESIGN WEEKEND REGATTA STILL ON CALENDAR Increased restrictions in the name of Covid-19 has not been a factor in Dec. 12-13 race.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SAN DIEGO —The One-Design Weekend

Regatta is still on the calendar for Dec. 12-13, as of press time for this issue.

Whether San Diego County’s move into the purple tier will force the regatta to be canceled or postponed remains to be seen.

The regatta is open to any One-Design fleet. There is no entry fee. Registration closes at 4 p.m. on the Friday prior to race day. Registration is available online at www.sdyc.org.race.

Up to nine races will be held during the regatta, unless otherwise noted by the Sailing Instructions. The Sailing Instructions will be posted by 5 p.m. on the Friday prior to racing.

“Classes may be subject to weigh-in, sail measurement or other procedures as scheduled and conducted by individual

Fleets. Any such requirement will be stated in the applicable Notice of Race or Sailing Instructions,” according to the Notice of Race. “The racing area will be noted in the Sailing Instructions. Courses will be windward/leeward unless otherwise noted. Exact course descriptions will be detailed in the SIs. The leeward mark (2) may be replaced by gate marks (2p and 2s). Exact mark configuration and directions for passing these marks will be detailed in the Sailing Instructions.

“A boat’s score in individual ODW Regattas will be the total of her race scores.

No scores will be excluded,” the Notice of Race continued.

Trophies are not given in any One-Design Weekend Regatta.

Contact Regatta Manager Jeff Johnson at 619-758-6310 or sailing@sdyc.org for more information.

San Diego YC’s sailing office will serve as the Regatta Headquarters.

Limited towing will be available if the morning breeze requires it. The breeze must be less than 8 knots.

The One-Design Weekend Regatta series began on Jan. 18 and was scheduled to be held one weekend per month (except for March) throughout the year.

FX sailor from East Troy, Wisconsin, is this year’s winner of the Mosbacher Trophy, which is awa rded to New York Yacht Club’s “Sailor of the Year” winner. Roble was recognized for her achievements in the women’s skif f class despite the Covid-19 pandemic and cancelation of the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo.

Roble is the first-ever woman to win the highly coveted award, according to a statement issued by US Sailing.

The 2020 Annual Awards ceremony was held virtually due to social distancing restrictions in New York City.

The Mosbacher Trophy, which was created in honor of former New York YC Commodore and two-time America’s Cup champion Emil “Bus” Mosbacher, is considered the most coveted of the club’s annual trophies. Each year’s recipient usually accepts the award at a ceremony held at the Model Room on 44th Street in New York City.

“This is an incredible honor,” Roble, who joined New York YC in 2015, said.

“It’s been quite the year, and we’re really excited about the results that we’ve had.

It’s an absolute honor to represent the New York Yacht Club around the world.

To be the first female to win this award is extra special. This award is a reflection of my team’s commitment and dedication to our goal of bringing home a Gold medal for Team USA. I would like to thank my teammate Maggie Shea and coach Giulia Conti for all of their hard work on and off the water.

“It’s exciting to think about the Olympics, about our dream of winning a medal, but we have to focus on how we can get better every day and hope that will be good enough for a medal come August,” Roble continued.

Roble, and her teammate Shea, wone the 2020 49erFX World Championship in Geelong, Australia, at the start of the year.

“It was first American medal in a 49erFX world championship,” according to a US Sailing statement. “That result also secured, by the narrowest of margins, Roble and Shea’s selection as the American representative in the class for the Tokyo Games.”

The Robbie-Shea duo also fared well at the 2020 Worlds. They also finished second at Kiel Week in Germany.

Other sailors to win the award were: one-design skippers Jim Richardson, Stephen Benjamin and Peter Duncan; three-time Olympic 470 skipper Stuart McNay; Paralympic skipper Paul Callahan; and, brothers David Askew and Peter Askew.

“I am extremely proud to award the 2020 Mosbacher Trophy to Stephanie Roble,” says William P. Ketcham, Commodore of the New York Yacht Club.

“Since graduating from Old Dominion University nearly a decade ago, Stephanie has thrown herself into elite sailing, succeeding in keelboats, match racing and now the 49erFX Olympic class.

Stephanie and Maggie made the most of their limited opportunities to compete in 2020, and we look forward to following them on the road to an Olympic medal this summer. Stephanie is the youngest person and the first woman to win the Mosbacher.”

CDFW offering grants for equitable fishing access

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SACRAMENTO —California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) announced it will be offering grants through the Vamos A Pescar program to promote equitable access to fishing, specifically for

diverse and metro-centric communities.

Applications for grant funding are being accepted now through Dec. 9. Recipients will be announced on Jan 19, 2021.

Funds are made possible through the George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar Education Fund. “Vamos A Pescar,” in Spanish, means “Let’s Go Fishing.”

 The water is cooler these days, but that’s not stopping more than 100 anglers from heading out to sea aboard seven boats out of Oxnard’s Channel Island Sportfishing, as of Nov. 14. One of those boats came back to shore with this triggerfish! The final count out of Channel Islands Sportfishing, as through Nov. 14, was 122 anglers aboard seven boats who caught 947 rockfish, 542 oceanfish, 14 sculpin, six sheephead, five Calico bass and one triggerfish. “The water has got cold quick so there hasn’t been much surface fishing, but jeez the bottom fish like it chilly,” the Nov. 14 Facebook post about the Nov. 14 fish count.

The grant program is part of CDFW angler recruitment efforts. The efforts, referred to as “retention and reactivation,” aims to increase fishing participation statewide.

There are five criteria an application must meet in order to be eligible for grant funding. The fishing program seeking grant funding must be ethnically inclusive, family-focused, metro-centric, focused on multiple opportunities and visual learning compatible.

“Events will be open to families of all races/ethnicities with Spanish-English bilingual instruction, materials and outreach. [The] program will encourage participation across multiple generations and genders. [The] program will encourage focus in California metro areas,” CDFW staff said about the necessary prerequisites for grant funding.

Each program must also “provide multiple opportunities for the same audience to participate in fishing activities” and “use both in-person and virtual platforms in conjunction with one another, as required by current local and state health and safety standards at the time of each

event.”

“When virtual delivery cannot be utilized, Covid-19 prevention measures must be followed and incorporated into events,” CDFW staff continued about the grant’s requirements. “[The] program should also promote good stewardship toward the state’s aquatic resources and include information on angler-funded (i.e. Sport Fish Restoration Act) conservation projects.”

Anyone who has questions about the Vamos A Pescar grants whould reach out to CDFW’s Jennifer Benedet via email.

Her email is Jennifer.benedet@wildlife. ca.gov.

Applications are due on Dec. 9, no later than 5 p.m.

“Proposals will be ranked by CDFW staff and submitted to [Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation] for review by their advisory board. The advisory board will choose the final grant recipients by Jan. 19, 2021 and CDFW will notify recipients soon thereafter,” according to CDFW staff. “Final decisions on the program are subject to the availability of state matching funds.”

Vamos A Pescar will offer grant funding to programs offering equitable fishing access, with a focus on diverse and metro-centric communities.

CDFW DELAYS NORCAL DUNGENESS CRAB SEASON Meat quality test results is cited as the cause for delay, according to Department Director Charlton H. Bonham.

By PARIMAL M. ROHIT SACRAMENTO —California Department

FEATURED CATCH

NAME THAT FISH

 DANA POINT—Anglers are targeting bottom fish bites this time of year, but, as the saying goes, there are plenty of fish in the sea.

Sometimes a fish is caught, and its identity is not immediately clear.

This was the case recently aboard a fishing excursion out of Dana Point’s Dana Wharf Sportfishing. The team out of Dana Wharf shared this photo of a fish catch on Nov. 21. The post asked the page’s followers to identify the fish. “Shortspine combfish” was one guess. “Baby fringe head” was another. Can you identify this fish? Dana Wharf Sportfishing’s Facebook page had a similar post, also on Nov. 21, asking its followers to ID a pair of fish caught during a month-long fishing excursion aboard Boardroom Fishing at Magdalena Bay.

The 2020 Dungeness crab season has suffered yet another delay, as CDFW’s director said the Northern California fleet will have to wait a little bit before dropping lines in the water. earlier than 8:01 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 13,” CDFW staff stated.

An environmental scientist with CDFW confirmed recent testing justified the announced delay.

“This industry-supported quality test determines if Dungeness crab have filled out in time following their molting period,” CDFW Environmental Scientist Christy Juhasz said. “The crab we tested achieved the minimum quality standard required by the Tri-State testing protocol but did not meet the minimum pounds to yield a valid sample, indicating that this may be a low production year of crab.”

The meat quality delay means fishing vessels are not allowed to take or land

Dana Wharf Sportfishing Photo

of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Director Charlton H. Bonham issued a memo on Nov. 20, formally announcing the delay of the Northern California Dungeness crab season. The season is being delayed due to meat quality test results, according to Bonham and CDFW staff.

The areas specifically affected by the delay include Mendocino, Humbold and Del Norte counties, according to CDFW staff.

“Samplings conducted on Oct. 27 and Nov. 12 did not yield valid results because the total poundage collected did not meet the minimum criteria established by the Tri-State Dungeness Crab Committee,” CDFW staff said in a released statement.

“Another round of testing is scheduled to occur on or around Dec. 1.”

California’s Fish and Game Code (Section 8276.2 c) authorized CDFW to delay the northern Dungeness crab fishery opener by at least 15 days. The earliest the season can open is Dec. 16 at 12:01 a.m. – though another delay could be implemented.

“Assuming there is no additional delay, the fishery will be preceded by a 64-hour gear setting period that would begin no

crabs in the closed area. The areas closed to Dungeness crab fishing are Fish and Game Districts 6, 7, 8 and 9.

“In addition, any vessel that takes, possesses onboard, or lands crab from ocean waters outside of a delayed area is prohibited from participating in the crab fishery once the delayed area opens for an additional 30 days. This applies to any delayed areas in Oregon, Washington and California,” CDFW staff said.

This is the second delay in the state’s Dungeness crab season opener for 2020.

“The central California commercial Dungeness crab season which was

scheduled to open on Nov 15 … was delayed due to elevated risk of marine life entanglement,” CDFW staff stated (and as reported in the previous issue of The Log). “CDFW is working with the California Dungeness Crab Fishing Gear Working Group to evaluate if the risk of entanglement has subsided or if an additional delay is needed to protect marine life.

CDFW expects to announce the results of the latest risk assessment for the central California fishery [in late November].”

LATE NOVEMBER STILL PRODUCING BLUEFIN, YELLOWFIN, YELLOWTAIL, DORADO, MARLIN, SWORDFISH AND MORE

By Bob Vanian of 976Bite.com SAN DIEGO—Southern California anglers have enjoyed a fine 2020 offshore fishing

season. The good news to pass along is the 2020 offshore fishing season is not yet over, with lots of pelagic species still around and biting as this report is being prepared a few days ahead of Thanksgiving. Anglers still have a wide variety of species to target on the offshore fishing grounds that include bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, Dorado, skipjack, yellowtail, striped marlin and swordfish.

Offshore water temperatures have dipped into the middle 60s with some water as cool as 61 degree being reported on the cool water side of some of the temperature breaks. The water temperature out by the Tanner Bank where the bluefin tuna have been biting has been running between 63 and 64 degrees.

The bluefin numbers have been declining when compared to the fishing of a few weeks ago but there are still bluefin being seen and caught that have mostly been up in the 100- to 200-pound range and which have included larger fish that have gone more than 300 pounds.

The fish counts coming from private boaters that were targeting bluefin while fishing the area easterly of the Tanner Bank over the past weekend were ranging from 0 to 3 bluefin per boat.

Some specific sportboat counts from boats targeting bluefin in the Tanner Bank region during the past weekend include El Capitan out of Point Loma Sportfishing. They had 14 anglers on a 1.5-day trip catch 4 bluefin tuna that went to 156 pounds. Pacifica out of Seaforth Sportfishing was out on a 1.5-day trip with 26 anglers and caught five bluefin to 180 pounds. Pacific Queen out of Fisherman’s Landing fished a 1.5-day trip with 29 anglers catching 14 bluefin to 200 pounds. Fisherman’s Landing also had Tomahawk fish a 1.5-day trip with 26 anglers who caught four bluefin to 190 pounds. This is some impressive fishing considering it is late November and the fact that many of these bluefin were up over the 100-pound mark.



Boats fishing kelp paddies at banks below and outside of Los Coronado Islands within 65 miles of Point Loma have seen the yellowfin tuna catches decline during the past week to the point where most of the catches from this sector over the past weekend were made up of lots of yellowtail along with an occasional dorado or skipjack. Productive areas over the weekend were the 371 Bank, the 390 Bank, the Upper Hidden Bank, the 450 Spot that is located above the 213 Bank and the 213 Bank.



Skippers had to travel 90 to 100 miles from Point Loma to fish the waters below the 1140 Finger and below the Lower 500 Bank to get into good yellowfin fishing during the past weekend. Most of those that made 1.5-day trips to fish this zone found good numbers of yellowfin tuna biting along with a mix of some skipjack and a few Dorado.



Private boater Tom Golding of Last

Buck reported about a recent trip fishing area to the west of the 450 Spot and the 213 Bank. Golding said they found three productive kelp paddies and a lot of empty kelp paddies while fishing between 59 and 63 miles 206 to 211 degrees from Point Loma. The three productive kelp paddies produced limits of yellowtail, two skipjack and one Dorado.

The water temperature where they found biting fish was ranging from 64.2 degrees to 65.1 degrees.



Six days ago, there were still good numbers of yellowfin tuna around and biting at spots within 35 miles or so of Point Loma. On Nov. 17, private boater Dan Gavin of Buzzard was out fishing below the 371 Bank and reported finding an area with three kelp paddies close together that started out by producing limit yellowtail fishing. The area then turned over into a wide-open yellowfin tuna bite. Gavin described it as a “great day” of fishing and reported finding the fish in 65.1-degree water while fishing at 34 miles 193 degrees from Point Loma.



The striped marlin fishing has been slow but there was a striped marlin caught and released aboard a recent 1.5-day trip on the Oceanside 95 out of Helgren’s Sportfishing. The striped marlin was caught and released incidental to fishing for tuna, yellowtail and Dorado and they posted a fish count of 27 anglers on a 1.5-day trip catching 165 yellowtail, one dorado, one skipjack and one striped marlin (released).
