JETTY ISLAND, ONE OF THE MANY SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS FOUND IN THE FEATURE ON PAGES 50-57. PHOTO

Advertising Design Christin Couvreux

It’s August, and as we cruise into the height of summer here in the Northwest, it’s time to unfurl the sails, soak up the balmy days, and enjoy this sun-drenched issue of Northwest Yachting.

Flipping to the features beginning on page 50, we stroll along the bustling docks and promenade at the Port of Everett to give you a tour of this burgeoning port and highlight its trendy array of new dining spots. It’s a launching point that promises to delight, right at the gateway to the larger Puget Sound. For basking in the rays, “Sun’s Out, Duds Out” (pages 58-63) offers a refreshing take on summer swimwear and attire with bright, cheerful pieces, all designed with UV protection in mind.

Our departments are packed with the usual mix of practical advice and motivational inspiration.

Whether you’re checking out the latest Goods + Gear (pages 36-37), dreaming of a new Port of Call (pages 74-75), or sleuthing out a galley friendly recipe (the crab cakes in Sea Fare on pages 72-73 should do nicely), there’s something for every boating enthusiast. Don't miss Making Waves beginning on page 23 for the latest news and notes, and be sure to scope out this month’s jam-packed calendar in Anchors Aweigh (pages 18-19) to ensure you soak up every last bit of summer fun.

Long live summer!

[ EMISSIONS CHECK ]

It’s Working: New Report Clears the Air Over Local Maritime Emissions Reductions As we swelter through another hot summer, it’s important to acknowledge some rare, good news in the Northwest regarding the climate: Many of the marine industry’s efforts to reduce emissions in the Puget Sound region over the last two decades are starting to pay off.

According to a new survey released in June by the Puget Sound Maritime Air Forum, air pollutants emitted by the region’s maritime businesses measured in 2021 showed significant decreases in several environmental variables compared to previous studies in 2016 and 2005.

The data comes from the Puget Sound Emissions Inventory (PSEI), a report that began in 2005 and is conducted again every five years (2011, 2016, 2021) to measure industry emissions from seven local ports, six government agencies, and three maritime industry partners.

Compared to the results of the initial 2005 study, airborne diesel particulate matter was reduced by 82 percent and greenhouse gas emissions dropped by 10 percent, according to the 2021 report.

The latest PSEI report cited various environmental stewardship programs enacted by the maritime industry as the chief reasons for the cleaner air data. The decline in emissions, it said, can be attributed to investments in electrification, cleaner engine technologies, operational efficiencies, and the implementation of the North American Emissions Control Area regulation, which requires vessels to burn fuels with a lower sulfur content within 200 miles of shore.

Scientists analyzing the data did acknowledge, however, that some of the emissions reductions in the 2021 report could also be attributed to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, which disrupted global supply chains in 2020 and drastically reduced cargo shipping activity at Puget Sound ports and completely shut down the 2020 cruise ship season.

“With over $150 million invested in seaport modernization in recent years, we’ve achieved diverse environmental benefits and advanced our climate change strategy,” said Lisa Lefeber, CEO of the Port of Everett.

“During the pandemic supply chain crisis, we handled excess cargo with lower emissions per unit—delivering cargo with a lower carbon footprint than any past inventories.”

The PSEI established 2005 as a baseline year by which the industry could measure changes across a range of air quality and climate change variables, including nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, sulfur dioxide, diesel particulate matter, black carbon, and greenhouse gases.

This data can be used to assess how port activities, such as vessels operations, cargo-handling equipment, rail, heavy-duty trucks, and other fleet vehicles contribute to air pollution in the region.

“As ports, we hold a pivotal role in driving economic activity while prioritizing environmental sustainability in the Puget Sound region,” said Kristin Ang, president of the Port of Tacoma Commission and co-chair of the Northwest Seaport Alliance. The PSEI, she added, is an important tool used to measure progress on the maritime industry’s green goals and helps shape future environmental policy decisions and investments.

Captain Mike Moore, vice-president of the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association (PMSA), said the PSEI results “confirm that the investments in clean air that are being made by the marine terminal and ocean carrier members of the PMSA have been exceptionally effective.” The report data, he said, “show exactly how impressive our emissions reductions in several key areas have been, and also where we still have work to do.”

The next important benchmark will be the following PSEI report, using data from 2026 (well after the Covid slowdown years), to see if a continuing trend of decreased emissions will be fast enough to meet the stringent “zero maritime emissions” goals by 2050. This goal, set by the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy, has been agreed to by a collaboration between the Northwest Seaport Alliance, the Port of Seattle, the Port of Tacoma, and the Port of Vancouver, B.C.

[ FROM THE DRAWING BOARD ]

New Design from Gig Harbor Boat Works Rocks the Lobster Boat World Soon after announcing discounted pre-orders could begin this summer for its new Lobster Boat design, Gig Harbor Boat Works (GHBW) is reportedly nearly sold out of the expected first batch of its new, versatile workhorse vessel.

After releasing a sneak peek of the initial CAD designs for the Lobster Boat in February, the Gig Harbor-based builder kicked off a flurry of interest in the area for the vessel’s new look. With a 15’ LOA and an expected beam of about 5 feet, the new craft will have a maximum passenger capacity of six people.

Based on the builder’s original Lobster Boat, dating back to the 1930s, the simple semi-dory design will retain its pointed bow for cutting through chop seas and flat bottom for easy planing with an outboard motor.

The bottom corners of the transom are also rounded so that the craft can heel under sail without increasing drag. Other subtle changes will also be made to the chines and the lapstrakes, but the shape of the hull will look generally the same, the company said.

The more noticeable changes will be seen in the deck, said Katie Malik, general manager of GHBW and daughter of the company’s founder, David Robinson. “We’ve rounded the foredeck into a lovely slipper shape, rather than the straight across deck on the previous version,” Malik wrote in a recent company blog post. “This creates more openness toward the bow, which should help improve two shortcomings of the original.”

Malik said the curved shape change will make it easier to step into the boat when it is beached. The alteration will also allow for more room at the bow for passengers and cargo, which will make it easier to adjust the trim of the vessel while under way.

24

Because 10 hp outboards are generally more common to find than the 8 hp motor size, the new Lobster Boat will be rated for a 10 hp motor, so flotation was improved for the power upgrade, with optional dry storage hatches to be included on both sides, Malik said. This will bring the maximum total capacity up to 935 pounds, including persons, motor, and gear. To provide more room, the interior will have a more open cockpit, with longitudinal seats along the sides and the stern, she said.

While primarily designed for motoring, the boat will be easily converted for both sailing and rowing, now including a user-friendly balanced lug as the standard sail rather than the sloop rig in the previous model (although a sloop configuration may still be an option). A centerboard and kick-up rudder will be included for easy launch and landing.

As of June, Malik said a wooden prototype for the Lobster Boat design will be built and tested over the rest of the summer. Once any tweaks are made from the prototype, Malik said, GHBW will move towards a Kevlar/composite fiberglass version for “hull #1” and possibly start production for the current pre-orders by this fall.

[ CRUISING FORWARD ]

Port of Seattle Accelerates Shore Power Requirements to 2027 for Cruise Vessels In a bold move to speed up its plans to reduce the impact of the cruise-ship industry on climate change, the Port of Seattle said in June that it will require 100 percent of all cruise vessels with a homeport in Seattle to become shore-power capable by 2027. The previous shore-power goal for the Port had been 2030.

The Port accelerated the deadline by three years because of “significant investments” that have already been made by the cruise industry, according to Port of Seattle Commissioner Fred Felleman, who co-sponsored the order. “Marketing such investments should also appeal to the environmental interests of travelers who have chosen to cruise to Alaska,” he added.

According to Port statistics, plugging vessels into shore power reduces diesel emissions from cruise vessels by an average of 80 percent while berthed. During the 2023 season, cruise ships using shore power avoided 2,700 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions and 0.75 metric tons of diesel particulate matter—the equivalent emissions of nearly 650 passenger cars driving for a full year.

26

The Port is also nearing completion of its effort to electrify all of Pier 66 on the Seattle waterfront and is expected to connect all cruise ships at the pier by this summer. Once the Pier 66 project is finalized, shore power will be available at all three Seattle cruise berths, including the Bell Street and Smith Cove terminals.

Twenty years ago, the Port of Seattle and the Carnival Corporation made Seattle the first homeport in North America to offer shore power at two cruise berths, which, at the time, covered 66 percent of the cruise calls at the Port’s facilities.

Once the Pier 66 shore power connections are finalized this year, the upgrades will help bring the maritime industry closer to achieving the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy goal of electrifying all cruise berths six years earlier than expected.

The Port of Seattle also continues to work to electrify and “decarbonize” cruise ports in Alaska, Victoria, B.C., and Vancouver, B.C. Through partnerships with the cruise industry, these ports are exploring the possibility of creating the world’s first “Green Corridor” for cruise ships, stretching from Seattle to Alaska.

2024 Defender 22 Nimble in tight spaces, deftly maneuvers, and comfortable in any chop, the all-new Jasper Marine Defender 22, available from Oaksmith Yachts, is a ruggedly refined beast.

Made available to the Pacific Northwest boating community earlier this year via Oaksmith Yachts, the rugged Defender 22 from Jasper Marine is designed to be a versatile boat for fishing expeditions or day trips around the Sound. Despite its nononsense look, the all-aluminum 22 provides a comfortable ride in the chop and easy maneuverability to berth or beach in tight spaces. Built on Canada’s Sunshine Coast in Gibsons, British Columbia, the Defender comes with a high freeboard and a deep V hull, providing security and stability even in a diverse conditions. With a beam of 8’6”, the boat is also trailerable.

The Defender 22 has room for up to eight people, featuring forward-facing, padded bench seating along the transom, which can be folded down to make room for gatherings in the cockpit. Ample storage space for gear, plus other fold-down benches, can be found in compartments under the gunwales.

Other customized touches can be added to make the 22 a real fishing vessel, such as cockpit bait wells, rod holders, bait prep stations, and extra side and transom doors.

The cabin can be fully enclosed and insulated against the

40

elements or left open via forward and aft centerline doors.

This layout provides a straight passageway from bow to stern, allowing for unobstructed movement around the boat. Through the forward door to the bow section can be found two more angled bench seats along the sides and more storage lockers.

A sunroof can also be opened in the cabin to flood the space with natural light when needed.

The two upholstered helm chairs on either side of the passageway are equipped with Shockwave Sentinel suspension to provide a smooth ride. Just aft of the helm chairs, two more fold-down cushioned bench seats face each other from both sides, providing space for socializing while under way. Jasper offers a range of interior colors and fabrics, helm electronics packages, and premium stereo system options.

With a twin 150-hp outboard setup, the 22 can reach speeds up to 47 mph, but the boat can be customizable for single or twin outboard combinations of up to 500 hp.

2024 Fleming 58 Pilothouse A roomier cockpit, widened pilothouse, and customizable layout makes the updated 2024 Fleming 58, available from Chuck Hovey Yachts, an even bigger standout in the market.

42

Created to fill the gap between the Fleming 55 and 65 boats, the boat builder launched the Fleming 58 in 2013, providing customers with an intermediate-size vessel that could still be easily operated by two people.

Today, an all-new 58 has been released with a roomier cockpit, a widened pilothouse, and up to three luxury staterooms that are customizable in a variety of layout options for comfortable, long-range cruising.

The cockpit of the Fleming 58 is 25 square feet larger than the Fleming 55 model and features a hi-lo central table, built-in cabinets on either side of the salon doors, and options for a mini wet bar and an aft control station. Molded stairs to port lead up to the flybridge deck, which overhangs most of the cockpit, allowing the space to be enclosed in inclement weather.

Most of the salon interior is wrapped in teak or holly with a matte finish. Sliding aft doors lead into a cozy gathering space, with an L-shaped, Ultraleather-upholstered settee to port and an electric hi-lo teak table with folding leaves to seat six people. Opposite the settee can be either an optional built-in sofa or two freestanding barrel chairs. In the port corner is a wet bar with a refrigerator and icemaker, opposite an entertainment center to starboard with a 42” flatscreen TV on a hideaway lift. The U-shaped galley is also lined in teak, featuring a double sink, a Bosch dishwasher, a Fisher Paykel refrigerator, and a four-hob Miele induction stovetop.

Three steps up, forward of the galley, the pilothouse accommodates two Stidd helm seats and a broad dash for two 15” color touchscreens for all navigational electronics. Starboard of the pilothouse door is a convenient day head, and just aft of the helm is a compass rose table and settee.

The open-air teak flybridge deck is covered by a hardtop and fits the most people on board, with room for up to 11 guests. A double-wide Stidd chair faces the upper helm and a U-shaped settee to starboard surrounds a hi-lo dinette table. On the port side, an upholstered sofa sits just forward of an aft-facing Kenyon BBQ grill, Isotherm refrigerator, and top-loading freezer. On the aft deck is space for a 13’ tender and 1,000-pound hydraulic Steelhead davit. An internal staircase also leads down directly to the pilothouse.

Belowdecks, a curved staircase leads from the pilothouse to the cabins, which are highly customizable. In the standard layout, the full-beam owner’s stateroom includes an en suite head and shower, a port-side vanity with a swing-out stool, and an Ultraleather sofa to starboard. The forward cabin, with its own head, can be arranged with two single berths angled against the bow, or converted into an island berth on the centerline. A skylight from the foredeck above provides plenty of natural light and ventilation. The third cabin can be configured for two bunk berths or converted into an office space, a laundry room, or an additional storage area.

Powered by twin MAN i6-800 diesels equipped with a Seatorque shaft system, the Fleming 58 cruises comfortably as 14 knots and maxes out at 20 knots.

1987 Nordzee Kotter Trawler This built-tough trawler surprises with modern touches and comfortable appointments; call Waterline Boats to learn more about this cruise-ready vessel.

At first glance, one might picture this trawler battling gale-force winds on the Bering Sea in a “Deadliest Catch” episode. Step inside, however, and you are transported into a modern, tranquil cruiser ready to take extended voyages in comfort.

Built in 1987 to handle the world’s roughest oceans, this steel 63-ton, Dutch-built Nordzee Kotter beast has been tamed somewhat, but still retains its muscle and some of its endearing work-a-day charm. One of its most recent upgrades was the installation of a DMS MagnusMaster two-rotor stabilizer system in 2023 to reduce the roll that used to plague these old fishing trawlers. Other improvements include new paints and coatings, a modern suite of Simrad electronics, and new Acacia wood cabin soles.

Stepping aboard, one is greeted by a broad, open-air foredeck and a teak table for six just ahead of the forward-raked helm windows. Ahead of the table is a curved, cushioned teak bench secured to the forward mast that provides an elevated, commanding view over the pronounced flare of the bow. Two covered side passageways lead aft to the rounded stern, cockpit storage lazarette, and side doors to the main cabin.

Inside the main cabin, a wraparound settee is situated in an aft, wood-paneled entertainment lounge, featuring a hi-lo dinette table and seating for up to eight people. Forward of the lounge is the helm station, built around the old-fashioned wooden ship’s wheel, captain’s chair, and companion chart-plotting chair. The Simrad Navigation Suite includes two 12” multifunction displays for Halo HD radar, Evo NSS2 charting software, AP70 autopilot, sonar, HF RS12, and stern and bow cameras.

A staircase/ladder leads from the aft lounge to the lower deck salon, encased in more lacquered wood flooring and paneling. An L-shaped, upholstered settee is situated to port around a sturdy, solid-wood dining table. Immediately starboard of the stairs is the U-shaped galley, equipped with wide countertops, a four-burner gas cooktop, stainless steel sink, convection oven/microwave, and refrigerator. Opposite the dining table is a storage cabinet that hides the clothes washer/dryer and a day head compartment.

The owner’s stateroom is located aft down a corridor on the lower deck and includes a queen-sized berth situated athwartship, a washbasin, and an en suite

head and shower. The guest cabin has an en suite head attached and is located forward of the salon, featuring an elevated double berth to port, sitting atop a large deep-freezer.

The aft flybridge roof holds an AB 11AL RIB dinghy with an 8-hp Yamaha outboard, which can be lifted by a hydraulic davit. Powering it all is the Mercedes 403 V10—a monster of a tractor engine with 1,994 hours on it. But it’s rated for 30,000+ hours of industrial use, which is plenty of juice for multiple long-range cruises up the Inside Passage and beyond.

Whether you’re making way for Whidbey, Anacortes, or the San Juans, homeward bound from a summer rendezvous, or simply wish to while away a sunny summer’s day, the Port of Everett offers more than just a pit stop. The ever-evolving waterfront district continues to grow and expand as the first of the new dining options now greet boaters with sunny summer patios, and more are forthcoming soon.

Add to this equation the many outdoor activities of summer—visits to Jetty Island, tasting events, sail-in cinema movie showings, live music, a host of brokerage offices, and more—and this longtime staple sure proves itself worthy of a leisurely stay-over.

DOCK & DINE Sally up to a guest dock slip and disembark for some deliciousness. The anchor tenant to what is now being referred to as Restaurant Row—part of the Port’s grand vision for a mixed-use development featuring restaurants, coffee, offices, and retail all on Fisherman’s Harbor— Fisherman Jack’s offers Asian fusion fare in a truly alluring setting. Roll-up garage doors provide access to an expansive patio, while the high ceilings of the main dining area lend openness to the modern, sophisticated vibe. Open since late last August, the eatery fittingly takes cues from its harborside location with loads of fresh seafood on the menu—a la coconut curry mussels, lobster dumplings, seaweed salad, and miso black cod—plus dim sum, zippy noodle dishes, and staples like chow mein and fried rice thrown into the mix. Do yourself a favor: head over during one of the two daily happy hours (2-5 p.m.; and 9 p.m.-close), order up a selection of shareable bites, and unwind with a cocktail as you gaze out upon the water. The aptly named Siren’s Call should do the trick, crafted with a combination of pineapple, orgeat, tequila, and hibiscus.

Located in the same building, South Fork Baking Co. is pure baked good bliss, offering a rotating

selection of sticky buns, cinnamon rolls, danish, cookies, and scones in addition to some pretty killer breakfast and lunch sammies. Grab yours to go if you are setting sail or enjoy from one of the picturesque benches that overlook the harbor.

Due west in the historic Weyerhaeuser building, The Muse Whiskey Bar & Coffee Shop is a cozy coffee shop by day, a swanky cocktail bar by night, and marries these dual identities through mid-century modern furniture, deep rich paint, and gilded details. It all exudes a very in-the-know speakeasy vibe that has visitors raving about everything from the cocktails to the bites to the historic artifacts on the wall. (Maritime enthusiasts should especially enjoy that last bit.)

Nearby, right across from the iconic fisherman’s tribute statue, you can enjoy a great burger and brew at Scuttlebutt Brewing or pick up some organic gin or vodka from Bluewater Organic Distilling.

Then, over at Port Gardner Landing, three other classic haunts—Lombardi’s, Anthony’s Homeport, and Anthony’s Woodfire Grill—have been joined by two new establishments. The Woods Coffee offers another option for fueling up and getting your caffeine fix, while their next door neighbor Sound 2 Summit 53

Sound 2 Summit

bustles with folks sitting and sampling from selection of craft beers on tap, and brewpub-style bites like quesadillas, nachos, pizza, and eatery’s signature calzone-esque folds. A patio connects the two spots, and well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you for a sunny repast.

PLAY LIK E A K ID, INDULGE LIK E A GROWN-UP Appease your inner child (or perhaps your actual child) with a stop by the new Jetty Island Playset, conveniently situated near to the ferry that spirits you to that said island of sandy beaches, grassy dunes, and often, perfect kite flying weather. With its shipthemed play area, the newly constructed playground pays homage to one of Port of Everett’s longtime former residents—the 1888-era Equator schooner 54

that was chronicled by college students before being dismantled last year. After the tykes get their fill, gather them back up, and set up camp at Boxcar Park for an experience like none other: Sail-In Cinema. Running Friday nights through August, the Port offers free, family-friendly movies projected on a larger-than-life screen right on the waterfront.

Thursday evenings, however, are reserved for the adults, when the ever popular Music at the Marina offers up some great tunes to go along with the summer vibes. Set up your lawn chair, bring your boat to Guest Dock 2, or grab a spot at the concert beer garden or a nearby restaurant patio, and drink in the views, the music, and naturally, also nurse a drink. (The popular 21-plus event, Sip on the Sound, is also scheduled to return this month, with

a wealth of local breweries, distilleries, and wineries offering tastings of their latest and greatest in a festival-like setting.) And if a plush bed, fresh sheets, and terra firma are calling your name, Hotel Indigo will do oh-so-nicely with its luxe amenities and the approachable, appealing fare found at the Jetty Bar & Grill.

COMING ATTRACTIONS There’s much more to come. As you meander the sunny promenade located near the hotel—a worthy activity in its own right—you’ll spy new buildings taking shape. Next to Fisherman Jack’s, a two-story, 12,000-square-foot space currently in construction will house Tapped Public House, Rustic Cork Wine Bar, and an outpost of frozen yogurt chain Menchie’s. Nearby, at the corner of Seiner and West Marine View Drives, another 6,000square-foot building will host Lazy Boy Brewing and The Net Sheds, a fish market and

eatery expected to churn out piping hot fish n’ chips that can be enjoyed on land or back on your own aft deck. Also of special note is the planned Wine Walk district, a destination area with space for up to twelve tasting suites and buildings that will feature expansive outdoor patios, rooftop decks and connected piazzas. Covington Cellars/Two Vintners and Hamilton Cellars have already inked deals.

Most of the aforementioned restaurants should open in the calendar years of 2024 and 2025, with the winery district soon to follow in ‘25 or ‘26— further cementing the Port as a must-stop destination for many summers to come. >> For more details on summer events, dining destinations, guest dock moorage availability, and the latest news on the expansion at the Port of Everett, go to: portofeverett.com 57

TI G HT L INE S CONTRIBUTED BY MARK YUASA, WDFW

Highlight Reel Let the good lines roll: MARK YUASA outlines end-of-season options for a summer that has so far proven to be one of the all-time greats for anglers.

Holy smoked salmon! We’ve hit August in a flash and, by now, many anglers may have enjoyed chances to hook a Chinook, sockeye, and coho salmon, or maybe even a “trifecta” of those species, in what’s clearly turned out to be a memorable summer.

In early June, my fishing journey began in Marine Area 11 (Tacoma-Vashon Island) around the Tacoma area off the Clay Banks where we landed a nice hatchery Chinook! This came on the heels of decent coho fishing in Marine Area 10 (Seattle/Bremerton area) and an early morning hatchery Chinook bite at the Tulalip Bay Terminal Fishery. Fast forward to July when I ventured to northcentral Washington for a massive Columbia River sockeye run that eclipsed 697,707 by July 9 the highest return since Bonneville Dam was constructed in 1938—waxing the preseason forecast of 401,700—and dipped into an easy limit of sockeye at Brewster Pool and a batch of summer Chinook at Chelan Falls. While this was happening east of the Cascades, a promising sockeye run of 56,750 was heading up the Skagit River and into Baker Lake and should carry the lake fishery well into August. Could the record return of 65,000 sockeye in 2023 be surpassed in 2024? Stay tuned, but my gut feeling has me leaning toward yes! To top it off, summer crabbing was phenomenal in Puget Sound when it opened last month. The ocean from Neah Bay to Ilwaco was good Chinook and coho fishing. I didn’t get a chance to venture to the Strait of Juan de Fuca between Sekiu and Port Angeles (Marine Areas 5 and 6), but my friends were raving about the decent hatchery Chinook action they found on a Fourth of July holiday trip.

This kind of bliss reminds me of why I enjoy being on the water during the summer. You can literally point a finger in any direction and it’s likely you’ll have a fairly good chance to catch a fish!

Sure, we’re all limited to how much free time we have, but it’d be wise to take advantage of some well-deserved R&R on the water in August.

66

August Angling My top spots for salmon this month include Buoy 10 near the Columbia River mouth; Baker Lake in Whatcom County; possibly Wenatchee Lake in Chelan County; the open marine areas of Puget Sound; and Long Beach, just outside of Ilwaco off the southern coast. While the Columbia River Chinook and coho returns aren’t as glamorous compared to previous years—the total fall Chinook forecast of 547,800 is similar to the five-year return average of around 564,300 and lines up with the 2023 forecast of 547,400 (720,237 was the actual return in 2023)—they still should generate excitement at Buoy 10 and off Ilwaco and all coastal points to the north, if the ocean is still open in August. The Columbia coho forecast of 356,900 is down from 809,500 but is a fair number and will offer moments of exhilaration.

If there was one area to place on my radar in late summer, it’d be off Long Beach at Cape Disappointment (ignore the name because it’s not disappointing at all if the salmon are there), where I first got hooked on this shallow water fishery more than a decade ago. We’d troll in 20 to 50 feet of water with just a banana weight and whole herring through the huge schools of anchovies that would constantly make our rod tip vibrate.

Keeping up the speed on your boat by going at a fast clip of 2.5 to 3.5 miles per hour is vital and you only need 13 to 15 pulls of line off the reel.

Then kick back and wait for those kings to smash your bait and head out into the horizon like a fast-moving locomotive.

Just inside the Columbia River mouth is the infamous Buoy 10 salmon fishery where on busy weekends there’ll be an armada of boats stretching in all directions as far as your eye can see.

Look for snappy salmon around the “Wing Walls” just outside the Port of Ilwaco, Desdemona Flats, above and below the Astoria-Megler Bridge on both sides of the Washington and Oregon

border, and the Blind Channels just above the bridge on the Washington side.

If you want to stay close to home it’d be wise to hit Marine Areas 10 and 11 for coho and possibly Chinook if the quota stretches into August. Same goes for Marine Area 9 for Chinook and then in August, hatchery coho will remain fair game. Marine Area 7 is open for hatchery coho in August but could be closed for kings if the quota is achieved. Check the WDFW website for any updates on openings or closures.

Continue to Crab Pulling up a pot full of Dungeness crab this summer has been sweet. Crabbing is open through Sept. 2 (with crabbing allowed on Thursdays to Mondays of each week) in Marine areas 12 north of Ayock Point, 9, 8-2, 8-1, 6, 5, and 4 east of Tatoosh-Bonilla Island line. Marine Areas 10 and 11 are open for crabbing through Aug. 26 (with crabbing allowed on Sundays and Mondays of each week). Marine Area 7 South is open through Sept. 30 (with crabbing allowed on Thursdays through Mondays of each week). Marine Area 7 North could open from Aug. 18 through Sept. 30 (with crabbing allowed on Thursdays through Mondays of each week), although the opening date is dependent on in-season, shell-condition test results. Be sure to fill out your summer crab catch cards immediately after landing crabs and prior to re-setting your traps. Anglers who crab in Marine Area 7 after Labor Day weekend will need a winter catch card. You can find the news release by going to the WDFW website at: wdfw.wa.gov/.

RAC ING SHE ET

BY DOUG HANSEN / PHOTO BY JAN ANDERSON

Weeklong Warriors DOUG HANSEN recaps Anacortes Race Week, where the convivial atmosphere on land is balanced by fierce competition on the water.

Hosted from the iconic Northwest town of Anacortes, Washington, Anacortes Race Week 2024 promises a week of fun and competitive racing in the stunning waters around Guemes Island.

Organized by former Northwest Yachting editor Schelleen Rathkopf, who has been at the helm of Race Week for nearly a decade, this event was moved from Oak Harbor four years ago to the current location and has since become a highlight in the sailing calendar.

The Port of Anacortes and city officials have collaborated closely with race officials to create a fantastic race village. This year’s village featured campsites, moorage, and a party venue located in close proximity, which fostered a vibrant community atmosphere. The main guest dock was completely taken over by the racing fleet for the entire week, transforming the area into a bustling hub of sailing enthusiasts.

A diverse set of racing sailboats entered the fray in this year’s series, with a wide array of makes, models, sizes, and shapes of boats converging for the late June event. The fleet was divided into two racing areas to ensure fair conditions for the diverse boats. The J70 sport boats and the impressive 6-meter box rule boats 68

dominated one area, while the J105s, Melges 24s, and handicap fleets using PHRF and ORC rating systems competed in the other. This format minimized traffic on the race course and allowed for realistic course distances for each fleet, enabling the race committee to schedule numerous races throughout the week.

Racing began on schedule Monday morning, with a beautiful breeze settling in just as the fleet departed the dock. The J70s and 6-meters headed east into the shallow waters off Fidalgo Island, while the larger boats navigated to the north side of Guemes Island.

The day was marked by shifty winds and challenging conditions, pushing tacticians and crews to their limits during three multi-lap buoy races on Monday and Tuesday.

The unpredictable wind conditions persisted throughout the week, peaking during Wednesday's pursuit race. In this unique format, start times are staggered so that, theoretically, all boats should finish simultaneously. The entire fleet sailed the same course, creating a thrilling and challenging experience. A heavy downwind spinnaker run turned into a tight reach, with swirling breezes near the turning mark at Lummi Rocks adding to the excitement.

The upwind beat back to the marina saw shifting winds that resulted in dramatic finishes.

Special recognition goes to the Melges 24 Distraction and its crew, who not only won the first-to-finish award but also dominated their fleet throughout the week.

Thursday’s races were a light-air affair, with a brief postponement before a shifting breeze kept crews on their toes. Despite the challenging conditions, the race committee managed to complete two races. On the final day, similar light conditions prompted the race committee to move the course to the waters directly outside the Anacortes marina in the Guemes Channel.

The day concluded with racing in a lovely 10-knot westerly and flat water, providing a fitting end to the week.

Now in its fourth year at this venue, Anacortes Race Week has fine-tuned the formula to create an extraordinary event. It offers a full week of action on the water, amazing parties off the water, and breathtaking views of the Salish Sea against the backdrop of the Cascade Mountains.

This event delivers an authentic Northwest sailboat racing experience like no other.

Take the Cake Nabbed some summer crab? Make delicious use of the Northwest favorite with these crisp crab cakes accented by dressed baby kale and a punchy red pepper mustard.

August in the Northwest means fresh seafood, particularly crab. For all you boaters who happen to be dropping a pot or two for such an occasion, here’s a fabulous recipe to accompany your catch. Yes, there are countless versions of crab cakes out there, but this one—from my cookbook Sea Robins, Triggerfish & Other Overlooked Seafood with Chef Matthew Pietsch—is a real gem. The delicious cakes are easy to make, especially for breakfast as they’re the perfect accompaniment to fried eggs. For the crab, you can use either Dungeness crab or red rock crab. Because rock crabs aren’t as meaty and sought after as Dungeness, they’re typically not found in supermarkets or seafood shops. However, if you happen to find some rock crabs in your pots this summer, don’t be so quick to toss them overboard, especially the big ones. They’re perfect for this dish. Red rock crab meat is mild and tasty, with most of the meat found in the claws and thigh areas. A couple other notes: The fresh breadcrumbs referenced below refers to stale bread that’s pulverized into a fine crumb, while the featured Roasted Pepper Mustard can easily be substituted with any other creamy sauce you prefer, like a spicy or garlic mayo.

Crab Cakes with Roasted Pepper Mustard and Baby Kale Serves 6 Roasted Pepper Mustard (makes 4 cups) 16 medium-sized banana or Hungarian peppers 1 medium sweet onion, peeled and diced 8 garlic cloves, peeled 2 cups white distilled vinegar 1½ cups classic yellow mustard 1 tablespoon dry mustard powder ¾ cup clover honey Kosher salt, to taste Dressed Baby Kale ½ pound baby kale Olive oil, as needed ½ lemon, squeezed Sea salt, to taste Crab Cakes 2 pounds fresh picked crabmeat 2 large eggs, lightly blended ½ cup fresh breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced shallot ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper 2 tablespoons Roasted Pepper Mustard, plus more for serving 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon finely minced Italian flatleaf parsley For Frying 3 cups breadcrumbs 2 tablespoons olive oil ½ stick salted butter Coarse flake salt, as needed

Begin by making the Roasted Pepper Mustard. Add the peppers, onion, garlic, vinegar, mustard, dry mustard, and honey to a medium sized saucepot over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the peppers and onions are soft and tender, and the mixture has slightly reduced, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Once cool, transfer to a blender and purée until smooth.

Season with salt and adjust with additional vinegar and honey to achieve your desired sweetness/acidity. Set aside and refrigerate or freeze the extra.

To make the Dressed Baby Kale: Add the kale, a little olive oil, and lemon juice to a small mixing bowl. Gently toss and season with sea salt. Set aside.

To make the Crab Cakes: Separate the crabmeat into two equal portions. Set one portion aside. Add the first portion of crabmeat to a medium sized bowl along with the eggs, breadcrumbs, garlic, shallot, black pepper, Roasted Pepper Mustard, salt, and parsley. Fold gently until combined. Fold in the remaining portion of crabmeat. Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour.

Add the breadcrumbs to a shallow dish. Divide the crab mixture into 6 equal portions (about ½ heaping cup each). Pack each portion tightly together, forming a small, thick patty. Place each cake into the breadcrumbs, covering all sides. Continue with the remaining cakes.

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter and heat until the butter is bubbling, and the oil is shimmering. Gently place the crab cakes into the pan and fry until crispy and golden brown on both sides while being careful when flipping to not break the cake. Remove the cakes and transfer to a plate line with paper towels. Sprinkle with coarse flake salt.

To serve, take a heaping spoonful of the Roasted Pepper Mustard and smear across the plate. Place one or two warm crab cakes off center and place a pile of the dressed baby kale beside the crab cakes.

Serve with additional Roasted Pepper Mustard as a dipping sauce, if desired.

Maine Attraction Full of natural beauty and history, Maine offers idyllic islands, historic harbors, and a coastal charm all its own.

Chartering in Maine offers a blend of natural beauty, historical intrigue, and luxurious escapism. Explore the serene coastal gems, from Portland to Bar Harbor, aboard your private yacht with a hand-picked guide to this East Coast haven.

Diamond Island The city of Portland, Maine, serves as the jumping off point for your journey, where you can enjoy dining at such local favorites as Becky’s Diner, Street & Co, and Fore Street Restaurant, before boarding your yacht charter. From there, your first destination is Great Diamond Island in Casco Bay, one of the most picturesque spots in the state. This jewel features picnic areas and hiking trails that allow for taking in the island beauty as well as an inn, a five-star restaurant, and marina. Biking or getting around the island via golf cart is de rigueur as no gas-powered vehicles are allowed. During your travels, you may hear of literary greats that frequented the island such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow or Harriet Beecher Stowe. Or, maybe you’ll learn the history of the island as a military base during the 19th century and note the attention to preserving the architectural integrity of the time.

Boothbay Harbor Sailing along the mid-coast of Maine brings you to the charming seaside spot of Boothbay Harbor. Littered with cozy boutiques, quaint shops, and hidden gem dining spots, Boothbay Harbor has been called the boating capital of New England, making it a perfect yacht charter stop. Backed by emerald greenery and hemmed by rocky coast, Boothbay Harbor has a divine connection with the sea. The up-close views of whales, puffins, and honking seals on dazzling boat tours, the lip-smacking seafood served in the restaurants, the feel of the salt-whipped air, and the sounds of clanging fishing boats, create a heady experience for those who adore sailing life. Days in Boothbay are best spent lobstering, lighthouse touring, and kayaking. Enjoy dining at the Thistle Inn Restaurant for a true taste of local cuisine.

Somes Sound Stretching on for five miles, the Somes Sound is considered to be one of the only fjord-like bodies of water on the East Coast and cleaves Mount Desert Island and the Acadia National Park almost in two. At its deepest, darkest point, the Sound ducks down to almost 175 feet.

Sailing the Somes Sound gifts charter guests the chance to cruise the picture-perfect harbors and villages that dot Mount Desert Island.

From lighthouses to the vintage homes of the Northeast Harbor, there are plenty of opportunities to learn all about the history of the area while drinking in those sweeping mountain vistas and keeping a keen eye for seals and harbor porpoises along the way. Be sure to visit Acadia National Park to explore its natural wonders.

Mount Desert Island The cruise from Somes Sound to Bar Harbor offers a scenic and memorable journey along the picturesque coastline of Mount Desert Island. It is a popular excursion for visitors seeking to explore the natural beauty and charming towns of the region. As you embark on the cruise, you'll be greeted by breathtaking views of the rugged shoreline, towering granite cliffs, and pristine waters. The cruise offers panoramic vistas of the Acadia National Park, its forested slopes, and the iconic Cadillac Mountain, creating a dramatic backdrop as you glide through the waters.

Bar Harbor The largest town on Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor bustles in the summer with keen visitors eating ice cream and strolling the sun-soaked sidewalks. Adorned with historic homes, a thriving arts scene, and the national park right on its doorstep, Bar Harbor has that welcome mix of outdoor wonders and timeless vacation vibes. Swimming, hiking, fishing, and scenic boat tours should certainly be on the charter itinerary for guests who want to gulp in the fresh salt air and lose themselves in the lush mountains and craggy coast. Sailing Frenchman Bay is a must, as is a visit to the Abbe Museum to find out more about the native communities that have long called these shores home. Dining options abound with places like Leary’s Landing Irish Pub, Side Street Cafe, Cafe This Way, Atlantic Brewing Midtown, and Black Friar Inn & Pub offering delicious meals.
