SB1, which was passed by state legislators in 2017, remains in effect after midterm elections.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SACRAMENTO — A 12-cent gasoline tax approved by the legislature and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown remains in effect, as California’s voters failed to overturn Senate Bill 1 (SB1) through the ballot initiative process.

Proposition 6, which proposed a repeal of the gas tax, with only 44.7 percent of the electorate voting in favor of the initiative on Nov. 6.

The gas tax hike has certainly been felt at the pump by drivers and boaters alike. Several sources spoke with The Log shortly after SB1 became law in mid-2017 and said the 12-cent levy fully applied to fuel docks across the state. Repealing the gas tax hike, accordingly, could have brought relief to everyone filling up – be it at a terrestrial gas station or on-the-water fuel dock. Yet the tax remains in place.

Voters had the opportunity to chime in on the gas tax hike repeal via Proposition 6, but the levy itself was quite the strain on California’s political climate as soon as it became law in mid-2017. Josh Newman, for example, lost his seat in the State Senate as a direct result of the gas tax hike.

Newman, who defeated Ling Ling Chang by the skin of his teeth in a contentious election in 2016, was recalled during the 2018 primary election. He effectively served as a scapegoat for those who opposed the gas tax hike.

Those opponents specifically said Newman gave the Democrats in Sacramento enough support to enact the gas tax hike without any real pushback.

Chang would have her “revenge” in this year’s primary election, as she won the election to fill Newman’s Proposition 6 aimed to eliminate the gas tax, which garnered disfavor with many Californians.

Could an ocean liner replica of Titanic be navigating waterways by 2022?

2C

Brisbane, AUS.—In 2012 when rumors started flying about the construction of Titanic II, a replica of the “unsinkable” ship that was immortalized in an Academy Award sweeping film of the same name starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, a few clichéd sayings probably came to mind. “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it,” may have been on the tips of tongues worldwide. However, the result of Titanic’s maiden voyage does not seem to affect Australian businessman Clive Palmer’s plans to unveil the replica, which could be on waters as early as 2022.

In a report by MSN, Palmer

said Titanic II will follow the original journey, taking passengers from Southampton, England to New York, but would also navigate other areas of the world. Estimated cost is $500 million, and the ship will hold 2,400 passengers and 900 crew members. Palmer also stated that some elements would be carried over from Titanic, such as the luxurious vintage feel and same cabin layout, but would be updated with the latest navigational technology available in the 21st century.

According to a post on deltamarin.com, Deltamarin’s official website, work on Titanic II has already been underway.

Janne Uotila, Managing Director at Deltamarin, said, “For more than 100 years,

Newly rebuilt scallop fishery prepares for open season in Maine MACHIASPORT, Maine (AP)– Maine’s rebuilt fishery for scallops is getting started for the winter in the coming days.

Many in the state’s seafood industry consider Maine scallops a conservation success story, as harvest hit a 20-year high last year after bottoming out in the mid2000s. Most of the scallops are harvested by boat, though some are taken by divers who fish for them by hand.

The season begins on the state’s southern coast with divers getting started on Tuesday. Fishermen who work from scallop dragger boats are allowed to start along the northern coast on Dec. 3.

There are some areas closed to scallop harvesting this year to help rebuild the population in localized areas. The scallop fishing season stretches until April.

Florida shipwreck unearths 200-year-old cannon KEY LARGO, Fla. (AP) _ Federal scientists say two archaeological artifacts have been found in the waters off the Florida Keys.

A diver swimming near a reef off Key Largo found a cannon believed to be nearly 200 years old. A commercial fisherman spotted the wooden wreckage from a 19th century ship off Islamorada.

In a statement to the Miami Herald , Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Gena Parsons praised the citizens who reported their finds in October without disturbing the artifacts.

Parsons said both pieces will remain in sanctuary waters. She said the cannon likely came from a sinking ship that crashed on the reef.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration maritime archaeologist Matthew Lawrence said Hurricane Irma may have made the shipwreck more visible. Coral has been growing on some of the wooden planks.

STATE Infrastructure destruction continues to increase amid Woolsey Fire MALIBU, Calif. (AP)—The tally of structures destroyed by the huge wildfire that swept through Southern California communities increased to 1,500 on Nov. 19, fire officials said.

With 95 percent of the burn assessment completed, the count also showed 341 structures damaged.

The fire erupted Nov. 8 and powerful Santa Ana winds pushed it through suburbs and wilderness parkland in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, forcing thousands of people to flee.

The Log • Nov. 30 - Dec. 13, 2018 • 5

Three people were found dead in the aftermath. They remained unidentified.

The final major flare-ups occurred last week on the western end of the fire in the Santa Monica Mountains. Since then, firefighters have been mopping up and patrolling the 151-square-mile (391-square-kilometer) burn area.

Containment lines were complete around 94 percent of the fire zone and full containment was expected by Thanksgiving.

Restoration of power and other utilities continued along with repopulation of evacuated areas. The latest areas to be reopened included Broad Beach, a long stretch of multimillion-dollar homes on the Malibu shoreline.

Authorities issued an interactive map

to help residents determine whether their property is no longer under evacuation orders or whether it remained unsafe to enter.

The National Weather Service predicted Southern California will have rain Wednesday into Thursday, bringing the possibility of mud and rock slides from burn scars.

Comment from GoFundMe Page From the GoFundMe page was this comment: “What about the man that died? You should give money to their family. My husband was on that boat and I heard of the negligence. No radar on. Captain getting soup while the 2nd captain was laying down.

The radar was off. A man died

they saw him die. His brain was coming out of his head. His family deserves that money for their negligence. This is ridiculous.”

Not exactly the official version but certainly sounds plausible.

California Coastal Commission: Sea Level Rise is a Slow-Moving Disaster State agency will continue to address rising oceans, even though effects might take a long while to see.

By Parimal M. Rohit STATEWIDE—Jack Ainsworth, executive director of the California Coastal Commission, went head-to-head and toe-to-toe with climate change deniers in calling himself a “pragmatist” and acknowledging sea level rise as a real problem.

The quasi-judicial agency’s policy-making pursuits will continue to find ways to defend coastal and inland communities from changing sea levels, Ainsworth vowed during the public comment portion of the Coastal Commission’s Nov. 8 meeting in San Francisco.

Coastal Commissioners, who met at San Francisco’s Aquarium of the Bay Nov. 7-9, discussed sea level rise on Day 1, but the topic was brought up again almost as soon as the second day of meetings started.

Several representatives from the San Mateo County Association of Realtors, or SMCAR,

brought up the Coastal Commission’s sea level rise policy guidance, stating some of its directives are confusing or not inclusive enough.

Barbara LeVey of SMCAR spoke to commissioners about the agency’s sea level rise guidance policy. She questioned whether the commission received ample public input in crafting its guidance policy. LeVey added the guidance policy also focuses too heavily on residential development.

The guidance policy, she told commissioners, should also give attention to commercial development and public works.

Other realtors also questioned the clarity and technical direction of the Coastal Commission’s sea level rise guidance policy. Some of the guidance measures were too restrictive on residents, such as limiting lot line adjustments or focusing too much on size and age of structure.

All speakers references a 95-page Coastal Commission document known as Residential Adaptation Policy Guide, or RAPG. One speaker said the document was crafted with input from a couple webinars and minimal public comment.

Attessa IV Owner’s Corporate Connection: Seaspan On Board With Johnson

by J.R. Johnson

By Parimal M. Rohit

PACIFIC NORTHWEST — The megayacht Attessa IV was involved with an open-ocean collision with Prowler on Oct. 26. Dennis Washington owns the 332-foot Attessa IV. What do we know of Washington?

Forbes, for starters, valued Washington at $6 billion (as of Nov. 15). He is considered Montana’s richest man, according to Forbes. The financial publication added Washington made his money in construction and mining. He might be a billionaire now but Washington didn’t always have it so easy – the head of Washington Companies was reportedly diagnosed with polio when he was 8 years old and, shortly thereafter, shined shoes for pocket money.

Washington, 84, made his fortunes as the head of a conglomerate of companies that includes Seaspan. Within the Seaspan family is Seaspan Marine, Seaspan Ferries Corp., Seaspan Shipyards, Vancouver Drydock, Vancouver Shipyards, Victoria

Shipyards and Marine Petrobulk. The companies collectively offer a variety of services: barging, commercial ferry, cruiseship repairs, marine bunkering, marine projects, ship assist and escort, and shipbuilding and repair. Seaspan Corp. reportedly has 110 container ships.

Seaspan traces its history to 1898, when it started as a tug service in Canada’s British Columbia. Vancouver Tug and Island Tug & Barge eventually became one company in 1958. Island Tug & Barge was aquired by Genstar Ltd. in 1969, setting up the creation of Seaspan in 1970.

There were a few more transactions before Washington came into the picture in 1992.

Seaspan, under Washington’s leadership, acquired various marine assets and created a multi-billion dollar partnership with the Canadian government (National Shipbuilding Strategy).

Canadian shipyards, under the National Shipbuilding Strategy, are selected to rebuild the fleets of the Royal Canadian Navy and country’s Coast Guard.

public input is essential to the success of the RAPG. Yet, extraordinarily little public input has taken place - a couple of webinars and and two written public comment periods to the draft of a 95-page, highly technicla document ... only a handful of people read does not come close to representing maximum public input,” Molly Whip, a realtor with SMCAR, told commissioners.

Ainsworth, after hearing the realtors speak about the Coastal Commission’s sea level rise guidance policy for coastal residences, said he was willing to hold off on RAPG until additional public input is received.

“In response ... to some of the concerns raised here today I decided to hold off on moving forward with the residential adapation guidelines for additional outreach,” Ainsworth said.

The Coastal Commission executive director added the revisitation of RAPG gives his staff an opportunity to clarify what, exactly, is in the document.

“The purpose behind these residential guidelines is to provide a set of tools for local governments to help them prepare, to plan, for sea level rise, and to build resilient communities. It’s not to force down on top of our local governments any policy requirements,” Ainsworth said.

Local governments were awarded 39 grants to address sea level rise issues, according to Ainsworth. The issue goes far beyond residential guidelines - local, regional and state agencies should be using as many tools as possible to protect all communities from the negative effects of sea level rise, an event Ainsworth said is occuring and must be addressed.

Comments From page 6

having fun that it should be stopped immediately!!! Current Commander is darkest yet. It’s just a total power struggle between grown men who should really know better. But they are bitter and old and out of it. Could never figure it out but it’s an ongoing thing there.

The YC used to be a lot of fun but apparently that rubs some folks the wrong way. Instead of maintaining a wonderful environment that gives pleasure and comfort to many, it seems like the minute it starts to work well the Commander has to pull a Trump. We just laugh about it cause it’s so predictable. [We have] been members there for years, but this is the most escalated it’s ever been. No one really understands why. Is it because the YC didn’t get PERMISSION to buy a committee boat like every other YC in the harbor owns? YC pays all the boat bills, boat stays on an offshore mooring. Most ridiculous stuff ever yet. Can’t imagine anyone even thought they’d have to ask for permission for that.

Interesting that YC dues are payable at the beginning of the year so all members are paid in full until Dec. 31st and yet no one can use the yacht club and there are certainly no refunds in the making. I think the legal case should be interesting.

“I’m a pragmatist. I believe in coming out ... with reasonable and phased approaches to this slow-moving disaster,” Ainsworth said. “It [sea level rise] is going to happen. It would be irresponsible of us to not plan for this.”

Ainsworth added no one has all the answers, in terms of how to address sea level rise.

“There’s no easy answer to these things. We don’t have the answers,” Ainsworth said. “It’s going to take a partnership of all of us to deal with this issue. We should all come at this in a spirit of humility and compassion and empathy. The real enemy is climate change and sea level rise.”

TAKE ACTION Sea level rise will affect more than a handful of realtors. Boaters up and down the coast should have a say in how the Coastal Commission’s policies on sea level rise guidance affects them. Reach out to the officials below to become a more active voice in the manner which the California Coastal Commission addresses sea level rise, especially with how the environmental phenomenon might affect local marinas and harbors.

Fire officials estimated nearly the fire, one of the largest in California history, destroyed 500 structures.

A group of boaters helps in the firefighting effort. Volunteer boaters from Del Rey Landing in Marina del Rey loaded their respective vessels with supplies on Nov. 14 and navigated toward the western edge of Malibu and Los Angeles County, where they would meet firefighters. Included within the armada were tenders of megayachts docked at Del Rey Landing and other local vessels The armada’s efforts were amplified as Pacific Coast Highway in and out of the Malibu area was closed.

What’s On Tap: Recovery efforts from the Woolsey Fire will certainly take some time, but firefighters and locals certainly received a helping hand from Del Rey Landing and Marina del Rey boaters.

“I’m sure the Attessa was watching them closely. By the time you see a little fishing boat coming out of the fog and realize they aren’t taking appropriate action to avoid a collision it’s too late. I can’t recall ever seeing a fishing boat on AIS. My biggest complaint is the fishing guys never respond on the radio. Even doing little Christmas parade of lights on large charter boats in Newport Beach. Everyone is going slow, watching out for everyone each other, politely and constantly communicating on the radio. Meanwhile the fishing guys are running little charters and racing around the harbor at 10 knots, never communicating right of way requests and nearly causing accidents. I can’t ever remember getting a fishing guy to communicate right of way on the radio and I’ve been a licensed captain since 1992.”

Port district announces reconstruction of boating venue should be complete by December.

By Parimal M. Rohit

SAN DIEGO — Boaters in America’s Finest City might look under the Christmas tree this holiday season and find a gift from the Port of San Diego.

The Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp might finally be open to the boating public after an arduous and delayed redevelopment process.

Port district staff stated construction work is now in its final phases and the boat launch ramp improvement project has made significant progress toward completion. The ramp could be open at some point in December.

An official announcement of when, exactly, the launch ramp will open will be made as soon as the port district has a date.

Some work on the boat launch ramp improvement project is expected to continue once the venue is open; all work should be completed by January 2019, according to port district staff.

“The project has made progress with the completion of the breakwater wall, which entailed installation of 92 piles and 53 concrete wall panels; completion of both platforms that will connect to the floating docks; completion of the new concrete ramp and connecting apron; and installation of floating docks on the east side of the boat launch basin,” port district staff said in a released statement.

“The contractor is currently installing the west side guide piles for the west floating docks, and building up the new roadway connecting the new boat ramp to the adjacent parking lots,” port district staff continued.

“The public will be able to access the ramp once the connecting roadway is finished, and the floating docks and gangways are installed.”

Completing the boat launch ramp improvement project has been a trying process – the venue was shut down for construction work toward the end of the 2017 boating season. Work, which technically started in May 2017, was to be completed within a few months, allowing boaters to access the ramp as the 2018 boating season kicked into full gear. But construction delays caused work on the boat launch ramp to continue several months beyond the scheduled completion date.

An updated Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp is expected to be safer and easier to navigate, according to port district staff.

“Upgrades include enlarging the maneuvering area in the basin by 80 percent, replacing the worn-out launch ramp, increasing the lengths of the boarding floats, installing public docks, public walkways, adjacent parking, and upgrading the restroom to current Americans with Disabilities Act

Standards,” port district staff stated.

Updating the Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp, which was equipped with 10 lanes and handled 50,000 boats annually, cost $9.5 million. California’s Division of Boating and Waterways, Wildlife Conservation Board and the port district funded the project. The boat launch ramp was in need of modernizing, accord-

ing to the port district, because of regular wearand-tear and the corrosive effects of saltwater.

Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp was built in the 1950s and twice updated (1976 and 2005).

Other boat launch ramps in the San Diego area are found at Chula Vista Harbor, National City’s Pepper Park (Pier 32 Marina), Oceanside Harbor and Mission Bay (five locations).

Training Resources Limited Maritime Institute’s use of simulators, real-world boating experience makes for unique classes Maritime training facility offers professional-level and practical boating courses to keep recreational boaters of all levels safe on the waterways.

SAN DIEGO—Boating safety is not to be taken lightly, especially when most accidents are caused by operators, not machinery malfunctions. Dave Abrams, CEO of Training Resources Limited Maritime Institute (TRLMI), knows this all too well.

“Unfortunately, operator error is the leading cause of accidents,” Abrams says. “Our courses aim to reduce the number of those things from happening.”

TRLMI merged Maritime Institute and Training Resources earlier this year, and the facilities, which were updated in 2017, offer unique simulation experiences — the only way to get a closer hands-on experience would be to practice at sea. The simulators place an emphasis on real-world scenarios and just some of the equipment includes firefighting simulation (with real fire), a high-voltage simulator and even a fullscale lifeboat demonstrator.

Advanced equipment is used to educate students at TRLMI including simulators like this one, a ship bridge simulator, which allows for through training before learners even hit the water.

Normally, boaters are some of the most prepared people for emergency scenarios, but Abrams says TRLMI went to great lengths to address gaps they saw in boater education such as more in-depth curriculum for engine and mechanical issues.

“You can always learn something new,” Abrams says. “I have been going to sea — I’m talking ships — since 1984 and I’m still learning.”

The 18,000-square-foot training area includes 15 classrooms dedicated to just about any boating subject under the sun, from decks and engineering to life and safety curriculum.

“We are the largest privately held

facility covering the waterfront, and we have a broad offering for mariners,” says Abrams, who adds that TRLMI is one of San Diego’s best-kept secrets.

Maritime Institute was founded in 1976, and Training Resources Limited was founded in 1998, together there are more than 40 years of serious on-the-water training for military personnel and civilians alike.

While TRLMI has advanced courses geared toward individuals who wish to pursue a career in maritime areas, many courses are offered for the beginning boater as well.

When asked if there was a must-take course at TRLMI, Abrams excitedly

mentioned that so many of the courses have a technologically advanced edge that he could not choose. “I want to take all of my courses, but, for instance, there is one course that simulates taking a tanker into Singapore Harbor. In the firefighter courses, we use real fire.”

Abrams states for the beginning boater who may not be prepared for the more advanced courses just yet, the Boater Education Series is a great place to start.

One thing to be certain, the courses offered at TRLMI provide participants with an experience like no other. All 25 instructors are retired military personnel or merchant captains with 20 to 30 years of sea voyaging under their belts.

Courses might be considered on the pricier side at around $495 for each, but with offerings such as Marine Electrical Systems, Marine Diesel Engine Maintenance, and other tailored classes that meet the needs of merchant mariners, yacht crews, commercial fishermen and other professional-level mariners, recreational boaters would be highly prepared for anything that could go wrong and then some.

TRLMI is located at 3980 Sherman St. in San Diego.

SAN FRANCISCO — An administrative application to improve public access at a marina in Newport Beach was approved by the California Coastal Commission, Nov. 8. Commissioners held their November meetings Nov. 7 to 9 at Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco.

The Irvine Co., according to Coastal Commission staff, applied to “modify an existing dock and gangway within the Balboa Marina, consisting of increasing the size of the concrete float, installing a new gangway, relocating one concrete pile and reinstalling a knee brace, dock box and fire hose cabinet.”

A dinghy dock attached to the project is only accessible by slip lessees, according to Coastal Commission staff.

“The proposed project involves widening the existing concrete 6-footwide head walk of the dock float by 6 feet, for a total of 12 feet wide, to accommodate the installation of a new 3-foot wide, 28-foot long gangway,” Coastal Commission staff explained to commissioners in a report. “The pro-

Ventura Harbor dock replacement project approved by Coastal Commission Upgrade from wood to concrete docks will benefit commercial fishing ships.

The replacement of wooden docks to concrete is a continuation of a dock replacement project by Ventura Port District, which began in 2003. A few of the docks were also noted as being unsafe for pedestrians, according to California Coastal Commission.

initiated in 2003; work on docks E, F, I and the northern portion of D were included in the initial project.

“The existing southern section of dock D and existing docks C, G, and H are a conventional wood frame and deck construction supported by precast concrete pontoons. The applicant has indicated that while the external appearance of the docks appears to be in fair to good condition, there is strong evidence that there is a considerable amount of interior deterioration,” Coastal Commission staff stated in its report to staff. “Evidence of warped fingers and corroded nails and metal

brackets that are visible indicates that the internal dock framing is most likely compromised and has lost much of its structural capacity to resist lateral loads.

“Several of the four foot wide fingers at G and H docks were noted in the applicant’s dock condition assessment to be unstable and unsafe to pedestrians,” Coastal Commissions staff continued.

The docks are also berthing larger fishing ships, Coastal Commission staff continued.

Oxnard Marinas granted deadline extension for slip construction Ventura County Board of Supervisors will allow work to begin at Channel Islands Harbor by the end of 2019.

By Parimal M. Rohit

VENTURA — Plans to begin construction on a redevelopment project at Channel Islands Harbor has been delayed by one more year, as the Ventura County Board of Supervisors approved a request to hold off on marina reconstruction and hotel development until December 2019.

All marina leases will remain in effect through Dec. 31, 2019, thanks to the supervisorial vote on Nov. 6.

County officials could determine the final construction schedule by the end of 2019, as Ventura County staff will likely spend the 12 to 13 months finalizing hotel and marina development at Channel Island Harbor’s Oxnard Marinas.

Work was originally supposed to begin on Dec. 31 of this year, but extra time is needed in order to allow for the county to finalize decisions on other elements of the planned project.

The county’s Harbor Department and Oxnard Marinas must still finalize decisions on the location of required marina restrooms. Both sides must also come

to terms on some “substantial” repair work.

There are current three leases in place with Oxnard Marinas and Channel Islands Harbor. Second amendments to each of the leases required the reconstruction of slips to start on Dec. 31 and be completed within three years.

“While these three Ventura County staff delayed marina reconstruction until Dec. 2019 leases correspond to slips to allow for other elements of the plan to be finalized such as the location of mandatory marina restrooms. in three distinct areas, the reconstruction of the slips will be handled as one project to enable all marina parcels since the decisions temporary vessel movement from locaregarding lease lines, restrooms, and tion to location to accommodate the revetment were made, but such plans reconstruction process,” county staff are not yet completed and construcstated in a report to supervisors. tion therefore cannot begin by Dec.

SAN FRANCISCO — A proposal to remove wooden docks with concrete floating docks at Ventura Harbor was unanimously approved by the California Coastal Commission, Nov. 7.

Ventura Port District specifically seeks to update docks C, G, H and a portion of D. The changes are necessary, according to Costal Commission staff, to better accommodate commercial fishing boats.

“Dock C and the southern section of dock D will be replaced with the same dock configuration, slip size, and within approximately the same footprint as the existing docks. The applicant proposes to reconfigure docks G and H to better accommodate commercial fishing ships,” Coastal Commission staff stated in a report to commissioners. “The project includes the construction a new 109 foot precast concrete walkway between docks C and D.” The project is actually a continuation of a larger dock replacement program, which Ventura Port District

primary commercial fishing ships were squid purse seiners and gill net fishing ships in the range of 35 feet to 50 feet,” Coastal Commission staff stated.

While gill net fishing has declined, the commercial squid industry has seen significant growth and the 35-foot to 50-foot squid seiners of the 1980s are being replaced by larger seiners in the 60-foot to 80-foot range. These larger squid seiners have much larger berthing loads and put increased stress on the docks and piles.”

Ventura Harbor is home to several uses, including residences, park use, boating activities, oil storage, water treatment, fishing, boat storage, boat launching and fueling services.

The harbor area was built in 1960; the marina within this project was built in 1981 and 1982, as one of four marinas in Ventura Harbor.

“The marina includes 144 boat slips ranging in length from 30 feet to 100 feet, a commercial fish-buying facility, and two travel lifts for hoisting boats.

The marina is used predominantly for commercial fishing, but also accommodates commercial tour operations.

The marina can also accommodate recreational boat users when there are vacant slips that are not utilized by commercial boats.”

Oceanside SEA Center continues to plan grand opening for spring 2019

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

OCEANSIDE — The Log, over the course of a week, played phone tag with one of Oceanside SEA Center’s partners, Ernie Prieto. Finally, when this reporter and Prieto were able to connect, he commented: “This is my life,” in his jovial voice. Prieto has definitely kept busy since we spoke last year. Embarking on a journey to bring the SEA Center to the public has not been easy.

There is still some work ahead until the grand opening, currently planned for the end of spring 2019, but the project is moving ahead, albeit slowly. “We are moving forward patiently,” Prieto advises.

to “time and money.”

“When we started, we told the city it would probably be a total cost of $60,000, but I know at this point we have sunk at least double that [into the SEA Center],” Prieto said.

Moving Forward & the Grand Opening Even though the process has stalled sometimes, Prieto affirms there has been progress.

“We’re still working toward our goals we talked about [last time we met],” Prieto said.

The last time The Log visited, one of the major selling points of the newly revamped building was that Pfleger Institute of Environmental Research (PIER) Institute would be conducting research upstairs. Prieto confirmed that PIER did move in last April.

Before, there had been talks of touch tanks being installed. Prieto said that project should be completed by Dec. 1.

In the works, an acquired sportfishing boat, Southern Gal, is being remodeled. Blue Horizon, another sportsfishing vessel, was bought and operates overnight, and also handles some whale watching tours.

On Dec. 5, Oceanside SEA Center will celebrate one year under Prieto, his wife and founding partner Capt. Joe Cacciola. The Log covered the extensive remodel from the beginning on 2018 in January, when it was revealed the location had no running water for 10 years.

At the time, Prieto had been eager to move forward — that excitement is still there, but navigating the red tape of city permits and bringing such an overarching vision to life According to Prieto, staff at Oceanside SEA Center is still working toward changing the building’s façade, opening marine creature touch tanks, and can be daunting. renovating the sportsfishing boat Southern Gal.

Southern California’s guide to some of the most spectacular maritime festivities during the holiday season.

Newport Beach Boat Parade

By Devon Warren-Kachelein SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — What is the holiday season without a boat parade? Vessel owners, in homage to the spirit of winter, get together to decorate and light up the waters up and down Southern California’s coastline.

Some of the festivities include bedecking boats in special themes, listening to music and spending muchneeded quality time with friends and neighbors on the water.

One of the joys of California’s lack of changing weather (other than from mildly sunny to very sunny) is that each harbor can usually put on a beautiful boat parade for the winter holiday.

Unfortunately some harbors, such as Santa Barbara, were forced to cancel their annual boat parade due to the Thomas Fires last year, and hopefully the fires this year will not interfere.

Participation in boat parades can lead to winning prizes; some will require an entry fee. Spectators can watch from the sidelines or make a reservation for a harbor cruise to take in the shows.

Whether one celebrates Christmas, Hanukah or another holiday, there is always room to enjoy the cheerful atmosphere of a local boat parade.

U.S. Senate approves Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2017 Legislation focuses on finetuning boating safety measures and first-responder personnel.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A federal bill updating Coast Guard policies on a myriad of recreational boating issues was approved by the U.S. Senate, Nov. 14; the final vote was 94-6, according to news reports.

The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2017 (S. 1129) would open the door for more alternative distress signals, such as LED lights and radio beacons indicating vessel positions in times of distress, to be available to boaters.

Issues specifically covered within S. 1129 are navigational aids, personal flotation device requirements, vessel certification, alternate safety compliance program, installation of engine cut-off switches for certain recreational vessels and visual distress signals for boaters.

A statement issued by National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) President Thom Dammrich added the Coast Guard bill would train 911 dispatchers to direct emergency responses to the proper first-responders (such as local agencies or third-

Coast Guard Authorization Act, which was overwhelmingly approved by the U.S. Senate, will focus on making recreational boating safer for civilians and law enforcement.

party entities).

“This legislation puts us on a path to expand the use of alternative distress signals like LED lights and emergency position-indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs), a move that will equip boaters with safer, longer-lasting, and more environmentally friendly options to signal for help in case of an emergency,” Dammrich said in a released statement. “This bill also provides new training for 911 dispatchers to better distinguish situations that require a U.S. Coast Guard response from those that should be directed to a local or third-party entity – a worthwhile initiative that will help boaters receive assistance when they need it and reduce

unnecessary burdens on Coast Guard personnel.”

S. 1129 would also require manufacturers to install engine cutoff devices on most boats measuring 26 feet or smaller.

“In addition, this bill delivers commonsense reform to Certificates of Documentation (COD), or registrations, for recreational boats by extending renewal dates from one year to five years, allowing consumers to forgo redundant paperwork,” Dammrich continued. “This bipartisan legislation [also] reduces the risks posed by ballast water discharges from commercial vessels – which will minimize the likelihood of introducing aquatic invasive

species in our waterways, while ensuring these discharges, and recreational boats, continue to be regulated under the Clean Water Act.” Dammrich ultimately hailed S. 1129 as a bill aiming to make recreational boating safer while protecting law enforcement.

Other elements of S. 1129 include: new direction on Arctic operations, funding for cutter funding, ballast water discharges and maritime drug and border enforcement. The legislation provides a $2 billion funding increase for Coast Guard operations.

The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2017 now moves forward to the House of Representatives; Pres. Donald J. Trump will see the bill for signing or veto if both houses of Congress approve of S. 1129.

An article posted on Capital Soup, a publication reporting on Florida news, stated the Coast Guard Authorization of 2017 would “ensure the Coast Guard has the resources it needs to carry out crucial lifesaving, disaster response, drug interdiction and national security missions.”

The Log will provided updated coverage of The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2017 as it makes its way through the House of Representatives and (possibly) the president’s desk.

Finding generosity and hope amid tragedy

SAN DIEGO—During the holiday season I’m drawn to festive and uplifting topics. With so much recent trauma from never-ending shootings, devastating wildfires and senseless national politics, it’s hard to feel upbeat about what’s happening in our world.

Yet amid such sadness and tragedy, glimmers of hope leapt out through the profusion of volunteer efforts and generous donations of time, services and goods to help support fire victims and refugees.

I was particularly heartened to see boaters front and center rallying behind Woolsey fire survivors, and transporting supplies from SoCal ports into Malibu’s Paradise Cove.

Howard Leight, owner of the 143foot superyacht Leight Star and the Malibu Rocky Oaks Winery, spent the first Friday and Saturday of the Woolsey fire, November 9 -10, defending his winery, home and vineyards from the flames. After suffering some damage to his vineyards he was ready to deploy his SoCal-based yacht, delivering essential supplies to Malibu residents stranded in their homes and on the beaches.

Firefighting efforts had closed roads serving the area.

Leight alerted his friend Bill Kerbox, who launched a social media campaign organizing needed supplies and volunteers to move donations to shore at Paradise Cove. An armada of Malibu surfers, paddleboarders and kayakers responded, supplementing Leight Star’s dinghies in delivering water, food, pet food, beer and shovels to the beach, where supplies were distributed to trapped local residents.

The Redondo Beach shop Dive N’ Surf also put out a call for goods donations for Malibu-area fire victims. Again using social media, the Meistrell family, owners of Dive N’ Surf and founders of water sport company Body Glove, announced they would transport donations to Malibu via Body Glove’s 73-foot boat, the Disappearance, to residents and firefighters. Hundreds of community members responded, filling up the dive shop’s parking lot, donating so many supplies that the Meistrells sent a second boat, the 40-foot Que Paso, filled with supplies, including horse feed.

They received assistance from the Los Angeles County Lifeguard Association and an escort from the Redondo Beach Police Department’s marine division. Therasurf, a Malibubased organization offering special needs children surfing opportunities, provided volunteers to handle the donated goods on arrival.

Capt. Mark Drewelow, founder of Encinitas-based YachtAid Global (YAG), activated his volunteer network of superyacht owners and captains to provide aid to Woolsey fire survivors.

Multiple vessels brought supplies from nearby Marina del Rey to Malibu, continuing deliveries until Malibu roads reopened.

This was an unusual mission for YAG, whose humanitarian missions rarely target the mainland U.S. Typically the nonprofit YAG operates around the globe, distributing humanitarian aid to often isolated, coastal communities and islands impacted by natural disasters where transporting or landing essential supplies is difficult.

Drewelow, owner of yacht support agency C2C, conceived the idea for YAG while travelling in remote parts of the world during his 10 years as captain of the superyacht Dorothea.

“We were always conscious about giving back to the people through the maritime industry,” he explained.

As a captain he recognized how wellequipped superyachts are with their highly capable crews could function as self-contained disaster-relief vessels.

Need training on how to troubleshoot, perform preventive maintenance and basic repairs on your boat? Our new “Boater Education Series” of practical skill based classes is designed to benefit mariners who operate vessels with two-stroke and four-stroke outboard motors, diesel engines, and 30, 50 and 100 amp ac/dc electrical systems.

Large ships are able to deliver essentials for disaster recovery — power, fresh water, food, communications, medical assistance and cargo — without outside support in devastated areas.

Now, when a natural disaster strikes, whether earthquake, hurricane or other event, Drewelow contacts his network of participating yachts to determine what vessels are in range of the affected region and able to divert to pick up and deliver humanitarian supplies.

When his home region was in need, Drewelow sprang into action.

The world seems much brighter now thanks to the good Samaritans willing to help fire survivors.

Safe on the Water: What to Know About Reporting & Managing Boating Accidents

By Devon Warren-Kachelein STATEWIDE—The collision between the sportsfishing boat Prowler and the superyacht Atessa IV has elicited many responses from the boating community.

Questions have come pouring forth including how and why this could have happened, and it is clear that until the facts are gathered and the investigation has been completed these questions may go unanswered. However, one thing is clear — no matter how experienced a boater one is, there is always room for additional education and refreshing safety knowledge and procedures.

Boating safety is at the forefront in the wake of this catastrophic event.

Accidents can happen, even when both parties are taking safety precautions, and it is important to know how to handle an emergency scenario when it rears its ugly head.

Avoiding an Accident Two of the top reasons for accidents on the water in 2016, according to DBW’s report of accident statistics in 2016, were operator inattention and operator inexperience. Cases caused by operator inattention nearly doubled the third category of “unknown cause.”

Excessive speeding also closely followed with 87 accidents reported due to this reason.

A Safe Boating Checklist • Keep fitted, Coast-Guard-approved life vests onboard.

• Stow first-aid kit and equipment manuals on the vessel.

• Create a “float plan” for a trusted person on shore. A downloadable version provided by the USCG Auxiliary can be found here: http:// floatplancentral.cgaux.org/ • Get a free vessel safety check by the USCG Auxiliary (They will come to you!).

• Brush up on boating safety techniques through in-person or online courses.

Of the major causes listed, most accidents reported were a result of human behavior not machinery failure.

From those findings, one can determine receiving proper training and avoiding dangerous activities on the water, even for a few minutes, could greatly improve the chances of avoiding an accident.

Stay up to date on current laws by taking a boating course. With technological advancements and other new equipment, it might be worth a refresh — information from courses taken even 10 years ago could now be outdated.

The Log provides a listing of classes in Southern California each issue and for boaters outside of California, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary’s official website at cgaux.org updates boating courses all over the country.

For experienced sailors, Capt. Nicole Sours-Larson, The Log’s resident boater and author of the column Dock Lines, has written extensively on the subjects of preparing for an emergency, learning sailing skills and readying for long- and

Whether an experienced boater or not, all mariners benefit from boating education and knowing how to file an accident claim.

In the state of California, accidents must be reported within 48 hours if there is a death, injury beyond first aid or a passenger disappears. Accidents must be reported within 10 days if there is a death more than 24 hours after the collision or property damage is more than $500 or a total loss.

short-term excursions.

There are an abundance of resources provided by DBW, boating associations, the Coast Guard, this publication and more — be sure to take advantage of the material.

Reporting an Accident In the State of California, and every other state for that matter, there are procedures in place to streamline the process of reporting a boating accident.

Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) website says, “According to state law, a boat owner/operator must report their boat accident to California State Parks DBW if the accident results in death, disappearance or injury to a person requiring medical attention beyond first aid, damage to a vessel or other property exceeding $500 or complete loss of a vessel, regardless of value.”

Depending on the accident’s extent,

it must be reported within a certain time frame.

Report to the DBW within 48 hours if: • There is an injury beyond first aid.

• A death occurs within 24 hours of the accident.

• A passenger disappears.

Report to the DBW within 10 days if: • There is a death more than 24 hours after the accident.

• Property damage is more than $500 or a vessel is a complete loss.

To report an accident, complete the California Boating Accident Report found on DBW’s website and mail or fax the report to: California Division of Boating and Waterways, ATTN: Boating Accident Unit, One Capitol Mall, Suite 410, Sacramento, CA 95814. Reports can be submitted via fax at 916-327-1772.

Boaters can access the form at dbw. ca.gov/pages/28702/files/bar.pdf.

Avalon City Council releases emergency funds to stabilize collapsed seawall

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

AVALON — The city of Avalon received a trick instead of a treat the day before Halloween, as the aging seawall on South Beach finally gave way due to a storm surge, leaving a sinkhole. City council members held a special meeting Oct. 31 to discuss emergency repairs to the seawall not exceeding $200,000 in funds.

Director of Public Works Bob Greenlaw, who stressed the importance of finding a long-term solution at a later time instead of patchworking the seawall together temporarily, urged the council members to approve a bid by EagleLIFT. Greenlaw asked for repair money to be dispersed through Harbor Reserve funds; council members greenlit the action unanimously.

EagleLIFT, a foundation repair company with headquarters in Ontario, California, has worked on projects with Port of Los Angeles using a polyurethane chemical grouting technique.

According to Greenlaw, EagleLIFT would inject the polyurethane foam into the sand, creating a hard foundation for the wall.

Estimates for the cost of the grout and mobilization were approximately $48,500 with other elements of the project to be decided later.

Workers drill holes into the sand and inject the grout to depths of up to 45 feet.

EagleLIFT’s polyurethane grout system is nontoxic and meets The polyurethane grout is a environmental regulations. Workers drill holes into the sand and can inject the grout to depths of up to 45 feet. nontoxic method that is safe for the ocean environment.

at least 70 years old. During the meeting, it was revealed there is no rebar or additional support in the engineering of the wall.

A storm on Oct. 15 had initially damaged the wall, and that’s when Greenlaw first noticed a weak spot and cracking.

The wall eventually collapsed, due to stress.

Greenlaw stated there had been previous attempts to repair the wall, but staff could not dig deep enough below the tide lines to access the areas that need to be fixed. South Beach has lost sand recently, which also may have contributed to the disrepair of the seawall.

The issue with the sand loss will also be addressed by city officials at a later time.

Council member Pam Albers asked if the California Coastal Commission had been contacted, and Greenlaw stated he would make a phone call to them the following morning.

The Log contacted Greenlaw for further comments, but he could not be reached by the publishing deadline.

At the meeting, Greenlaw stated construction could begin as early as Nov. 3.

California Coastal Commission photo

Vinod Khosla, a billionaire who co-founded Sun Microsystems, purchased the beachfront property in 2008 for $32.5 million. However, Khosa has initiated an ongoing legal battle to deny coastal access to his property that had been open to the public for decades.

Martins Beach and Coastal Access: What’s Next?

U.S. Supreme Court rejected property rights appeal in October, but the saga over public access to the beach isn’t necessarily over.

By Parimal M. Rohit

STATEWIDE — A billionaire’s attempt to “privatize” a stretch of beach along the Central California coast was shot down when the U.S. Supreme Court in early October. The decision to not hear the case of entrepreneur Vinod Khosla was viewed as a victory for anyone and everyone who likes visiting California’s beaches.

The ongoing legal battle pitting Khosla’s private property rights against the public’s guaranteed access to California’s waterways isn’t quite over, as there is still a chance the billionaire magnate from Silicon Valley could take this matter back to court. The last remaining question is whether Khosla will allow the public to access Martins Beach through his property or instead seek a California Coastal Commission permit to keep people out.

Khosla’s pursuit to protect his private property rights will be a continued challenge on California’s Coastal Act, which strictly regulates private use of the state’s waterways. The Coastal Act is an extension of California’s constitution, which guarantees the public’s access to the beach. Coastal access, of course, is a mainstay for anglers, boaters and kayakers, meaning they are affected by whatever happens with Khosla’s fight – assuming it continues.

A pathway from a road to the beach serves as the heart of the conflict. The path runs through Khosla’s property and, for decades, had been used by the public to access Martins Beach. There is a gate at the beginning of the pathway. Whether the gate could be used to prevent or restrict public access to the beach will be the subject of what happens next.

Of course this whole saga could be over if Khosla takes the Supreme Court

rejection at face value and keeps the pathway gate open. Yet Khosla could just as well approach the Coastal Commission for permission to use the gate again. Another legal battle could ensue if Khosla applies for permission to use the gate and the Coastal Commission rejects the permit.

The upcoming calendar year will reveal whether Khosla gives up on his fight or if he solicits permission to keep the gate closed.

This is not the first time the interests of private property owners have been pitted against public coastal access.

A stretch of coast in Santa Barbara County known as Hollister Ranch has been the subject a longstanding battle between the area’s private property owners and anglers or surfers who seek to access the oceanfront as a matter of right.

There’s also “Private’s Beach” at Opal Cliffs in Santa Cruz, where beachgoers must pay an annual use fee and obtain a key to get past a gate and access the local coast.

Coastal access is essential to anglers and boaters, especially for boat owners or recreational fishers who don’t keep or have access to vessels at a marina.

California also guarantees access to all waterways as a matter of birthright, both through the state’s constitution and the Coastal Act. Private interests have yet to chip away at the birthright and the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear Khosla’s case was certainly a victory for those who spend time at or on the water. Time will tell whether Khosla will continue his efforts to protect his private property rights – and whether such pursuits will trickle down and negatively affect anglers, boat owners, kayakers and others who rely upon unbridled public coastal access.

Khosla co-founded Sun Microsystems; he purchased the Martins Beach beachfront property in 2008 for $32.5 million, according to news reports. The billionaire and tech magnate had almost immediately used the property’s gate to shut down public access, setting up a long, nearly one-decade legal battle.

Santa Barbara Harbor Commission holds second to last meeting of 2018

SANTA BARBARA—Santa Barbara Harbor Commission met for the second to last meeting of the year on Nov. 15.

The agenda was not as packed as usual, but a couple of announcements were made concerning the next dredging cycle, parking permit sales and some holiday-related news.

Fall Dredging Cycle

A Christmas tree will be delivered on the same day the fall dredging cycle begins. Waterfront Business Manager Brian Bosse shared that Oliver Holt Christmas Trees will deliver a green white fir to be displayed on the wharf during the holiday season on Nov. 26.

Facility operations staff will decorate the tree after it arrives in the harbor, and passing visitors will be able to view it.

The tree will be at the center of the lighting ceremony during the 2018 Holiday Party and Christmas Parade of Lights on Dec. 9 and will be lit by Mayor Cathy Murillo. According to Bosse, the tree was grown locally in Chatsworth.

This year, the lighting ceremony of Stearn Wharf’s Christmas tree will take place on Dec. 9, the same night as the Christmas Parade of Lights.

Parking Permits This year, Santa Barbara Harbor Commission approved a rate increase for parking permits. Beginning on Dec. 1, the general public can purchase parking permits for 2019 at the harbor’s main kiosk.

Bosse stated, “We encourage the public to purchase permits early to get the max amount of usage.” If the permit is bought earlier, visitors could receive an additional 30 days of usage.

Regular guest parking permits, or “red” permits, are $125. Slip parking permits will be available for $95 and can be purchased from the harbor department’s administrative office.

After the initial buying period begins Dec. 1, there will be a tiered discount system to purchase permits.

Visit the website at santabarbaraca. gov for more information about purchasing parking permits. Contact the Waterfront Parking Office at 132-A Harbor Way, or call 805-897-1965 for further details.

Pacific Dredge and the Army Corps. of Engineers are preparing for the fifth of six dredging cycles to be completed by spring of 2019. Dredging will begin Nov. 26.

The final dredging cycle will take place in spring, after which Pacific Dredge will demobilize, or remove all of the dredging equipment and pipelines. Karl Treiberg, waterfront facilities manager, stated that demobilization will typically cause disruption on the water, and the harbor department advises mariners to be cautious while navigating around the dredge.

Treiberg also stated that this year the least amount of sand was dredged since the department began recording the process, hitting below the typical 267,201 cubic yards. Scott Riedman, waterfront director, also mentioned that staff had been working with Sens.

Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris to receive grant money and funding for dredging.

A new bidding period will open up in October 2019 to enter into a new threeyear contract. The harbor department has proposed a budget of $3.6 million for the dredging process in 2020, while the budget for 2019 is $3.36 million.

Los Angeles Board of Supervisors approve lease amendment for Mariner’s Village redevelopment

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

REDONDO BEACH—California’s housing shortage has been a crunch on many communities, including boaters. However, after the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a lease option to renovate Parcel 113, more commonly known as Mariner’s Village in Marina del Rey, there will soon be more rooms to rent for low-income residents and senior citizens. The renovation will cost $100 million.

Supervisor Janice Hahn stated at the meeting that took place on Oct. 30, “For the longest time, I think people thought Marina del Rey was sort of only for the rich and the wealthy to have a playground of their own. But in fact, it’s

a county facility, and it should be open to more people who also want to enjoy the beautiful waterfront at our Marina del Rey. So what we’re doing here today is we’re extending the current lease for Mariner’s Village. And in return, we’re going to get a $100 million renovation agreed to by this lessee, and there’s a lot to celebrate here.”

Hahn mentioned that another part of the renovation would include setting aside 196 affordable housing units for families making less than 50 percent of the area’s median income. According to Hahn, 20 percent of the apartments will be converted to affordable housing residencies. Renovations will take place in sections so that renters can stay in their homes during construction.

City of Redondo Beach is victorious in lawsuit against waterfront developers CenterCal

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

REDONDO BEACH—In a victory on the anti-development front, Judge Malcolm Mackey of Los Angeles Superior Courty ruled in against Redondo Beach LLC, a subsidiary of CenterCal Properties on Nov. 20. Initially, CenterCal had planned to build a 524,000-square-foot waterfront retail center dubbed “the mall by the sea” by locals.

Council member Nils Nehrenheim, who represents District 1 and who has openly criticized the project, said on his Facebook page,“We won on every charge! Redondo Beach Waterfront, LLC

loses again! We won the election. We won the EIR lawsuit. We won the Measure C lawsuit. We won the Coastal Commission certification. We won the lawsuit! The judge called the plaintiff’s “shills” pursuing a “sham” lawsuit.”

In August, during a particularly long and emotional California Coastal Commission meeting, the Coastal Commission voted in favor of the people’s vote to uphold Measure C, the ballot measure that changed the course of the waterfront development.

The next steps may include reimagining a coastal development in line with local residents’ vision.

Newport Beach Harbor Commission hosts biennial boat tour Sailing on a Balboa Island Co. ferry, commissioners discussed local maritime policies and harbor landmarks.

NEWPORT BEACH—Local residents, news reporters and Newport Beach city staff filled the event room at Marina Park Community Center for an informative ferry tour presented by the city’s harbor commission.

Commissioners briefly took public comments before a 15-minute recess for passengers to board the ferry. Much of the presentation was a recap of how the harbor commissioner’s feedback has been an integral part of local maritime policymaking and also what has changed in Newport Beach over the past year.

After Commissioner Paul Blank introduced the harbor commission, Commissioner William Kenney discussed the six areas of focus: dredging, harbor operation and management, amenities, codes and regulations, commercial and educational opportunities, and the harbor’s vision for the future.

Many attendees were curious about the process of updating Title 17, the municipal code governing harbor activities and regulations. One recent amendment was the rule change allowing for

Guests board the ferry for the harbor tour portion of Newport Beach Harbor Commission’s special meeting to discuss harbor policies.

speed limit exceptions on city waters during sailing regattas. Another example was forging the new harbor department, which will put an emphasis on customer service needs, budget changes and code enforcement.

Commissioner John Drayton reminded passengers, “There is full public participation in anything we do,” regarding major updates to Title 17.

Kenney revisited one of the more bizarre events that has plagued Newport Beach: bridge jumping. This past summer, The Log covered the case of a young man who jumped onto a Duffy boat from Lido Bridge, resulting in the injury of a female passenger. Kenney said that in addition to this dangerous stunt, another group of bridge jump-

• Coast Gu ard continu es to take aim at illeg al charters

ers had aimed to set a Guinness World Record for “most bridge jumpers” in the city. The harbor commission is still deciding how to stop bridge-jumping incidents.

Commissioner Ira Beer touched on the topic of mooring size regulations, which has been covered extensively, and the issue at J Field concerning commercial and derelict vessels that are stored there. Beer said that vessel storage has been one of the foremost complaints and a process to consolidate the vessels is in the pipelines.

Central Avenue Pier reopened in 2017 after renovation, and Beer said this area, which includes large vessel anchorage and entry for boaters to dock and enjoy restaurants and other enter-

tainment, “offers great access.”

Commissioner Scott Cunningham presented the topic of dredging.

“Chris Miller [Newport Beach harbor resources manager] calls [this process] the “Achilles heel” of the harbor,” Cunningham said. Drayton later commented that dredging costs might be lowered by implementing a procedure that would allow harbor staff to dredge 365 days a year and sideline the current permit policy. Dredging Grand Canal was cited as an example of costs “getting awfully expensive” as the narrow waterway was approved for a rebid of nearly $1.4 million.

Newcomer to the agency Commissioner Don Yahn gave an explanation of Title 17, marine activities permits (MAPs), wastewater discharge and commented on liveaboards in the harbor.

There was certainly a recreational boating crowd, but some people were newcomers.

A woman named Carol, who has lived in the Balboa Island area since middle school, told The Log, “I feel like I want to get involved with something now.”

Carol continued, “I own a small 16-foot boat and I just wanted to learn more information about the harbor.”

The harbor tour takes place during even-numbered years and does not accrue costs from the city for the free boat trip.

King Harbor Yacht Club wins U.S. J/70 Youth Championship Youth sailing team, representing Redondo Beach, sweeps second annual keelboat competition.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

REDONDO BEACH—Apparently Redondo Beach can count yet another victory this month aside from the fight against corporate waterfront developers. Kyle Collins, Brock Paquin, River Paquin and Justin Zmina, members

of King Harbor Yacht Club (KHYC), walked away from the second annual U.S. J/70 Youth Championship with a first-place trophy in hand.

The event took place over the weekend of Nov. 16-18 in St. Petersburg, Florida, and was hosted by St. Petersburg Yacht Club. Last year’s event, the first, was held in August in Newport, Rhode Island.

Youth sailing teams from across the country competed against each other in a series of 21 races over the course of the three-day regatta.

According to Scuttlebutt Sailing

News, the KHYC Youth Team swept the competition with a 21-point lead.

J70 Youths’ official Facebook said, “The teams enjoyed the short-course ‘stadium-style’ racing of 20 minutes per race, sailing the StPYC’s perfectly matched fleet of J/70s just off the beautiful St. Petersburg city waterfront.”

Of KHYC’s first day of sailing, J70 Youths’ Facebook stated, “Starting off with a 2-1-1-1, there was no question the team from King Harbor YC in Los Angeles, CA were determined to set a high bar for the rest of the top youth keelboat teams from across the

country.”

The post continued, “The regatta was blessed with a remarkable weather pattern that lasted the entire weekend.

As the northeastern region of the USA got blasted by its first winter storm, the southeast region of the continent-spanning frontal system provided nice N to NE breezes for four days with gorgeous sunny skies.”

Smooth sailing conditions benefitted KHYC, with Little Traverse YC coming in second and Chicago YC shortly after in third.

One-design racing regattas offer sailors of all experience levels to enjoy a day on the water.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

SAN DIEGO—San Diego Yacht Club (SDYC) invites eligible sailors to race in the last sailing One Design Weekend event in the 2018 series. One Design Weekends take place once a month and give racers of all experience levels a chance to brush up on their sailing skills.

Some of the One Design Weekend Regattas are two-day events, but the

final race in December will only be a single day event. Each one-design race in the series is independently scored; there are a maximum of nine races held each weekend, according to the Notice of Race.

There is no entry fee for any One Design Weekend Regatta. No trophies will be awarded, but the event does give practicing sailors the opportunity to race each other in a competitive arena.

According to ussailing.org, one of the benefits of one-design racing is that typically fleets encourage newcomers.

The website states, “One-design classes are broken down into fleets that are located at yacht clubs and community sailing programs. Club or fleet racing

takes place on a regular basis all over the country, and many fleets welcome newcomers. Contact your local yacht club or community program to get involved in one-design sailing and ask for the name of the fleet captain(s).”

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—This year is rapidly racing to a close, but it is never too early to think about sailing events and regattas in the New Year.

Perhaps in 2019 some sailors might want to create new goals or enter even more races than in previous years. Southern California Yachting Association (SCYA) announced the race committee has begun work on the 90th annual SCYA Midwinter Regatta.

The regatta has been scheduled over two weekends on Feb. 9 and 19 and the following weekend on Feb. 16 and 17.

However, SCYA is aware that weather conditions may not always be the best during this time period, even in Southern California, and remain open to changing the dates if needed.

SCYA stated on their website, “We recognize that the weather conditions are not ideal in some regions and that there are conflicts with other regattas so we will be open to alternative dates.

After a break with the holiday season, the Midwinter Regattas represent the beginning of a new sailing year leading into the summer. The main

San Diego Report

Southern California tuna and marlin in December?

By Bob Vanian

SAN DIEGO—The 2018 Southern California offshore fishing season has made it through most of November and the bite is going strong as this report is being written several days before the beginning of December. The tuna, marlin and yellowtail bites recently survived the first northern weather system of the season that came through on Thanksgiving Day with bluefin tuna, marlin and yellowtail all being caught after the passing of the stormy weather. More rain is forecasted according to another weather system, and is due to arrive a couple of days ahead of the arrival of December.

It will be interesting to see what is still around and biting after the passing of the second northern weather system.

The best area for bluefin tuna and yellowfin tuna has been southeast of the Bishop Rock area of the Cortes Bank.

Private boater Ray Millman of Go The Distance went fishing on a 1.75 day trip aboard Aztec out of Seaforth Sportfishing and reported about his trip, which returned to Mission Bay on Thanksgiving Day morning. Millman said they had a great trip on quality-sized bluefin tuna and yellowfin tuna. Aztec’s fish count was 26 anglers catching 18 yellowfin tuna and 52 bluefin tuna, which was their limits of bluefin tuna.

Millman said that most of the bluefin were in the 20 to 40 pound range and a few were in the high 50s and middle 60s.

The jackpot winning fish was an even bigger 80-pound bluefin. The yellowfin being caught near the Cortes Bank have been running from 20 to 70 pounds and Millman described the yellowfin they

caught on the trip as being a nice grade of fish.

Millman said that all their stops came from stopping and drifting on meter marks that were found with scanning sonar. He felt most private boats would find fishing difficult unless they were equipped with scanning sonar. There have been jumbo sized bluefin to 300+ pounds biting around the Cortes Bank, but it did not sound as if there were any of the jumbo sized 100+ pound bluefin showing in the stops on Millman’s trip. He said that most anglers were doing fine using bait outfits with 50 pound test line, 50 pound test fluorocarbon leaders and a size 1/0 circle hook.

He thought that using a 40 pound test live bait outfit would have drawn more bites.

Millman had nothing but great things to say about Aztec and its captain and crew.

The best zone for the bluefin is currently between the 100 fathom curve and the 500 fathom curve to the southeast of Bishop Rock at the Cortes Bank. Prior to the Thanksgiving storm, there was also a mix of bluefin tuna and yellowfin tuna biting outside of the 500 fathom curve to the southeast and the east of Bishop Rock.

Sunday, Nov. 25, 2018 was the first day boats went fishing the Cortes Bank after the Thanksgiving Day storm passed through Southern California. Point Loma Sportfishing reported having a mid-day update from New Lo-An, which had 60 bluefin tuna aboard and was still fishing at the time of their report. Fisherman’s Landing reported having a Sunday afternoon update from Pacific Queen, which was reporting 48 of the 20 to 50 pound bluefin tuna aboard — the limits of bluefin tuna for their 24 anglers. Pacific Queen was still fishing at the time of their report and they were looking to add yellowfin tuna to

the catch.

Striped marlin have been biting well around the eastern part of Catalina, and in similar fashion to the tuna fishing out at the Cortes Bank it was interesting to see what effect that the Thanksgiving weather system might have on the marlin bite. The good news is that just like the bluefin at the Cortes Bank, the answer to the question is that marlin were still around and biting after the Thanksgiving storm. Most of the marlin activity at Catalina has been coming from the 40 to 100 fathom depths while fishing in an area ranging from the Rock Quarry to Church Rock, with the Church Rock area tending to be the best.

There have been very few fishing boats out for marlin since the Thanksgiving storm, but there was a report about a couple of boats that were fishing off the Church Rock area on Saturday, Nov. 24, 2018 that each had some action. The skipper who was reporting had seen a feeder and he said that the other boat in the area had caught and released a marlin.

On Sunday, Nov., 25, 2018 the one report was from a skipper who reported getting a marlin trolling strike while fishing off the Rock Quarry.

There has been good yellowtail and bonito fishing around the Rockpile at Los Coronado Islands with the better days of fishing seeing near limit to limit numbers of yellowtail being caught aboard the sportboats. The report from the fishing on Sunday, Nov. 26, 2018 was that the best bite area had moved down below the Rockpile to the area of the 27 Fathom Spot.

Most of the yellowtail action has originated from stopping on sonar marks and there has also been some action from the occasional meter mark located, or the occasional spot of fish found under working birds. Once located, the yellowtail have been biting well on yo-yoed iron and sardines that are fished deep on a dropper loop rig.

The report from a couple of private boaters that were not equipped with scanning sonar who were fishing on Sunday, Nov. 25, 2018 was that it was not easy to locate the yellowtail with a traditional up and down style fathometer. One private boater fishing around the 27 Fathom Spot reported catching two yellowtail, some bonito and rockfish. The other private boater who had fished around the Rockpile and the 27 Fathom Spot had caught some bonito and rockfish but had not seen any yellowtail action.

Sportboat counts from the fishing on Sunday, Nov. 25, 2018 start with Mission Belle out of Point Loma Sportfishing that had a full day trip with 26 anglers catch 36 yellowtail, 21 bonito and 9 rockfish. H&M Landing had Grande out fishing a full day trip with 20 anglers, who caught 72 yellowtail, 22 bonito and 10 rockfish. Seaforth Sportfishing had a full day trip out aboard San Diego that had 36 anglers catch 73 yellowtail and 19 bonito.

The fishing along the San Diego County coast continues to produce a mix of bonito, sand bass, calico bass, sheephead, whitefish, reds and an assortment of rockfish. The bonito bite has been slow-

ing down from the fishing of a couple of weeks ago but there are still bonito around and biting. Some bonito are being caught incidental to fishing for bass and bottom fish for boats fishing around kelp bed, structure and hard bottom areas. There are also still bonito biting for boats trolling around out in the deeper 25 to 50 fathom depths and looking for meter marks, sonar marks, breaking fish and trolling strikes.

The bonito have been 3 to 7 pound fish and productive areas have been the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma, the Dropoff at Point Loma, the Green Tank, Point Loma College, the upper end of La Jolla, Del Mar, Ponto Beach, the Carlsbad Canyon, the Buccaneer Pipeline and the area outside of the Oceanside Pier. Feathers and Rapalas have been productive on the troll and once bonito are located, flylined sardines and small chrome Megabait style jigs have been working while drifting or anchored.

On Sunday, Nov. 25, 2018 there were private boaters catching bonito while fishing off the Whistler Buoy area at Point Loma and while trolling and drifting outside of the upper end of La Jolla. A private boater fishing off the upper end of La Jolla reported catching bonito and calico bass while drifting outside of the upper end of La Jolla in 60 feet of water.

Captain Joe Cacciola of Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside SEA Center reports that when the bonito have been biting well SEA Center boats have been spending some time fishing for the bonito and have also been fishing for bass and an assortment of rockfish.

Most of the bonito action has come out in the 30 to 40 fathom depths while fishing between the Oceanside Pier and Ponto Beach at South Carlsbad.

On their most recent trips from the Oceanside SEA Center the bonito were not cooperating and it was all bass and an assortment of bottom fish that were providing the action. On Sunday, Nov. 25, 2018, Chubasco II out of the Oceanside SEA Center had 9 anglers on a morning half day trip catch 50 rockfish, 10 reds and 1 sheephead. On their afternoon trip, 8 anglers caught 21 rockfish, 8 whitefish, 7 sheephead, 3 calico bass and 2 sand bass.

The 2018 offshore fishing season hung in there after seeing its first northern weather system pass through. There is another northern weather system on the way and it is yet to be seen what effect it will have. This late season has been providing some great action and I hope these exciting tuna, marlin and yellowtail bites hang in there and that you have a chance to get in on some of the exciting action.

Keep on fishing and I hope to see you out on the water!

Chef Rob Ruiz of The Land & Water Co. restaurant based in Carlsbad teaches an audience how to “break down” a buoy-caught swordfish for a meal.

Swordfish demonstration, 3 Cheers for Buoys, highlights the pros of buoy gear fishing The Land & Water Co. event celebrates buoy fishing, an alternative to drift gillnet fishing and especially effective method for catching swordfish, with much lower bycatch.

By Devon Warren-Kachelein

SAN DIEGO—The Pew Charitable Trust sponsored the event, 3 Cheers for Buoy Gear, at The Land & Water Co. in Carlsbad earlier in November to bring awareness to the benefits of deep-set buoy gear fishing. Pfleger Institute of Environmental Research (PIER) developed the fishing method seven years ago as an alternative to gillnet fishing.

Tara Brock, principal associate of The Pew Charitable Trusts, spoke with FishRap, and said the discard rate of gillnet fishing is about 40 to 57 percent whereas the results fishermen have seen with buoy gear fishing is 80 to 95 percent swordfish.

“Research has found that people are willing to pay a higher price per pound if they know what sustainable fishing is and the mission. People will pay more for sustainable seafood,” said Brock.

Ken Olsen, officer of communications for The Pew Charitable Trusts, said in an email, “Chef Rob Ruiz, of The Land & Water Co., demonstrated how to ‘break down’ or butcher a swordfish prior to the main event.”

The main event, said Olsen, was a presentation by Dr. Chugey Sepulveda, the director and senior scientists for Pfleger Institute of Environmental Research (PIER), who spoke on how the deep-set buoy gear had been developed. Brock stated that while there are not more events scheduled like 3 Cheers for Buoy Gear currently, she encouraged supporters to get involved

by writing to local public leadership.

One of the major issues with gillnet fishing is that it traps many animals, such as sea turtles, dolphins, whales and more. Olsen stated, “Buoy gear lands high-quality swordfish and has almost no bycatch, while more than half of drift gillnet catches are discarded, often injured or dying.”

Buoy fishing, which operates with a system of lines leading to a bite indicator, float and flag linked to multiple hooks, is a more productive way to hook swordfish, according to PIER. From research, it was discovered most swordfish swim at depths of 800 to 1,200 feet. Most marine mammals and other bycatch swim closer to the surface. Fishermen can also release catches safely back into the water immediately using buoy gear — that is not the case with gillnet fishing.

In August, California legislature made a motion to outlaw drift gillnets.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill into law in September.
