Yes, the t-shirt sailing days are probably gone for the season, but dust off those foulies, run your second reef, and enjoy Neptune’s autumn splendor. For enthusiasts and industry pros alike, there’s a good chance you’ve been guzzling boaty culture in the past few weeks. It’s not difficult to find it at this time of year, with Wooden Boat Festivals in Victoria and Port Townsend, and a boat show at South Lake Union. What a marvelous deep-dive it can be for us all – lifers and newbies. October... We’ve returned to the first month in which I wrote an editorial for you. I’ve been thinking a lot about returns recently. A big part of this was a late summer vacation back to my home state of Minnesota, where I had several on-thewater experiences that mirrored some of those that I consider my most formative. I sailed with my dad, the first person ever to hand me a tiller, on the friendly freshwater of my childhood lake, Minnetonka. I went scow sailing with one of my best friends, Dave, on Half Moon Lake. Thirteen years ago on that lake, Dave taught me enough about sailing that I could teach kids the basics at the summer camp that shaped us both, and where he’s returned to be the Director. And, a group of friends and I spent a few perfect days of non-sailing water-fun, paddling in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. We led trips here as college kids – it’s a magical watery wilderness. Traveling each day, camping every night in a new paradise, I realized that it was those adventures of water-travel and discovery where I learned many skills as useful on a cruising boat as they are on a canoe trip. But, to get bogged down in our personal histories is to miss the forest for the trees. Nowhere was this more apparent as during the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival. Each of those boats has a history, and their owners are always happy to share them (even new builds have a story). Some of them will blow your mind. Pax, is literally book worthy. Longtime friend of the magazine and Pax owner, Kaci Chronkite, writes about the festival this month (page 13), and is presently writing the history of her boat. Sparkle, who took me sailing for the Classics Race (thanks Brian and Guy!), was built in 1947 and purchased for $3500 fifty years later with planks so rotten you could pull them up without tools. Sparkle has been restored in stages over the last 18 years and is a Port Townsend institution: winning a ton of races, and being the boat in town known for showing a generation of new sailors how fun sailing is, and how fast an old wooden boat can go. Humble or grandiose in size, design, or story, that collection of boats and sailors represents an astounding commitment to craftsmanship and a firm foothold in the world of the traditional. But, it’s not stale and stodgy. I had the privilege to sit in a seminar with sailmaker Carol Hasse. Boy, was I aware of my tunnel vision for Marconi-rigged sloops when she didn’t dig right into draft-depth and cloth weight as I expected. First, she had to discuss the variety of available rigs (literally all of them!), and their pros and cons. With Hasse’s guidance, I let my mind recalibrate to the traditional. Wooden boats with outriggers, junk rigs, and gaff-rigged schooners with topsails and a gollywobbler are where it all began and still represent 99.9% of sailing history: exploration and travel, work and play. The knowledge of how to build and maintain the boats, their rigs, and their sails used to be the price of admission to this sailing lifestyle. These skills and trades have more relevance to a modern sailor than you might think - a worthwhile return, in my opinion. I’m not jettisoning my interest in high performance sailing, and I still wouldn’t advocate against simple, fast, easy to maintain boats. But, any sailor, young or old, will do themselves a service if they learn how we got here; and how to keep traditional knowledge, skills, and old wooden boats afloat.

Johnstone Strait’s Screaming Nor’westerlies Beta Marine West (Distributor) 400 Harbor Dr Sausalito, CA 94965 415-332-3507 Pacific Northwest Dealer Network Sea Marine Port Townsend, WA 360-379-1319 [email protected] www.betamarinepnw.com Deer Harbor Boatworks Deer Harbor, WA 888-792-2382 [email protected] www.betamarinenw.com Oregon Marine Industries Portland, OR 503-647-0009 [email protected] Access Marine Seattle, WA 206-819-2439 [email protected] www.betamarineengines.com 8 October 2015 The PROSIT! left Port McNeill the morning of July 17 for Edmonds, WA, in strong winds. The Canadian weather report warned of gale force northwesterlies on Johnstone Strait for the coming days. “That’s great!” said son, Einar, who would skipper the boat, “I’ll finally sail down Johnston Strait in the screaming nor’westerlies.” Out of the harbor, we set the main and, running before the wind, we made good time as we passed Telegraph Cove. About an hour later, we skirted Robson Bight Ecological Reserve, a killer whale sanctuary. There were no whales in sight at the beaches on this trip. Probably, they were feeding further north on the coast due to the strong El Niño settled off the Pacific Coast this year. The sun bounced its beams off the cresting, foaming waves of the following seas as the warm winds kept building to thirty-five knot gusts. Einar, at the wheel, grinned as we surfed the mounting waves and set a new PROSIT! speed record of 9.98knots under mainsail only. We sailed into Port Harvey and dropped anchor for the night. After toasting the exhausted skipper with a round of PROSIT! Punch (a cup of hot chocolate with a shot of Canadian Rye Whiskey), we had a salmon dinner and took to our beds. We departed Port Harvey in mist and calm seas. On Johnstone, the mist began to clear and the northwesterlies started up and again we raised the main instead of flying the jib. As the northwesterlies strengthened, and the following seas began building to two meter waves, we stayed well clear passing a tug having trouble towing a huge log barge loaded with a forest of logs (the largest log barge can hold the equivalent of 700 log trucks). Looking back awhile later, we saw that the tug was upwind of the log barge, apparently trying to keep it from sailing ashore on Helmken Island. www.48North.com Letters Einar maintained control as the water rushed past the cabin portholes and there was talk of reefing the main. This was impossible to do without bringing the boat into the wind, but off of Kelsey Bay the gale winds overpowered the boat and it rounded up as Einar managed to hold on to the wheel. As he brought the boat back on course it rounded up again, heeling broadside to the wind. Using the engine, Einar brought the boat into the screaming wind and with earshattering clapping, the mainsail was double reefed. With the boat now under control we sailed past Helmken Island, up Mayne Passage and moored for the night at the Blind Channel Resort. Upon reflection, the skipper concluded that in sailing downwind in sustained gale force winds it would be better to fly the jib instead of the main since it would be easier to reef and would not cause the boat to round up. Still at no point did we loose faith in the integrity of the PROSIT! or our skipper, and Einar got his wish in one of the best sailing vacations we have experienced.

Hi Joe, Coho Ho Ho 2015 cruising rally from Seattle to San Francisco-San Diego is mostly a done deal. Congratulations to sailing vessels for their successful voyages to San Francisco and beyond: Spill the Wine, Kestrel, North-Star, Aeolian, Grand-ciel, Manatee, Athanor, Nutmeg. At last glance, four boats have continued south to San Diego. At the time of this writing, SV Tocatta, is in harbor in Brookings Oregon waiting for a weather window around Cape Mendocino. Emily and Sterling of Sterling Marine threw a fabulous welcome party for the recent arrivals to the Bay area, Nutmeg and Grand-ciel. We had a great fleet this year that brought much in the way of experience, ideas, and enthusiasm to the chart table. Our appreciation goes out to those that helped make it possible. It’s a long list that includes many, but special thanks needs to go out to Brad Baker of Swiftsure Yachts who helped provide weather information and routing tips; and OCENS for spearheading the dream of putting our fleet on virtual time charting with inReach via Snap Track. It's still possible to go to cohohoho.com and follow the progress of this year’s fleet. Track their progress with excitement.

Since I moved onto my sailboat last June, I’ve noticed that the tenants seem to be all very kind people. There is a strong sense of community and trust among the boat owners. I’ve also noticed that people tend to stop and chat, exchange phone numbers, and even take each other out sailing. So, I wanted to bring it a step further and organize an online community where the tenants can discuss all things related to the marina, and even organize to help better the marina. Would you be willing to announce the group and explain what is involved with becoming a member? First off, this is not a public group that anyone can join. I am keeping a database of all participants and giving them the option to share their contact info upon request from other tenants. The idea being that if I am a tenant and I would like to know who owns the sailboat three slips away, I can check with the group administrator to see if they are a member and can be contacted. I understand that not everyone who owns a boat is on Facebook, but I am hoping by next year that the majority of the tenants will join so they can keep up with everything going on with the marina. Within two days of announcing this group, I’ve already had 25 slips occupied. The members have already been very active to get conversation going. I’m very excited to see this online community grow. So, if you live at Shilshole and are interested in the group: first you email the administrator (currently me, [email protected]) and send me your dock letter and slip number. I respond with a letter that provides the group guidelines, such as no racism, no commercial advertising, be nice to one another, etc. Then you agree and announce if you want to have your name available to other members. I keep two records: those who are public, and those who are private. This way I can ensure that the private members will never be shared with anyone. That’s pretty much it. I know that many 48° North readers are in Seattle and at Shilshole Bay Marina, so I’m just asking if you guys would make mention of the group. It’s not an association so I don’t have any logos, and no affiliation with any other group. It’s purely to organize and communicate among the tenants. Feel free to inquire about anything. Thanks for your time! Tony Bentley S/V Satori, Westsail 32 [email protected] Sounds cool to us, Tony. Hopefully, it’ll grow and be used for good. The nice thing about a private group is being able to control against trolls! If you haven’t already been in touch with the Shilshole Liveaboard Association, maybe you can get them in the loop on this, too. I believe that our friend, Kirk Utter, is still president. www.48North.com Performance Racing • Cruising Sails Custom Sailboat Canvas Letters YAGER SAILS & CANVAS Moorage Resource? 48° North Is there something of a one-stop-shop resource that compares marina slip rates in Washington State? I realize there are a lot of variables but as retirement looms and we are thinking about a vessel upgrade, the cost of long term moorage needs to be added to the equation. We've been trailer sailors thus far. Thanks. Foster Fanning (message from facebook) We are not aware of one. Are other 48° North readers better informed on this than we are? There are a lot of variables, including different seasonal rates, and rates that change based on monthly leases, or yearly ones. It would be a big spreadsheet, that’s for sure. But, it’s one I’d like to see. Ca l l fo rF D i s co u a l l nts! Sails Built To Last Rendez Thanks-vous! Built In Our Loft! Hi Karen, Just wanted to say a big fat thank you to you and the crew.

It was a joy for the adults and thrilling for the 200+ kids that went aboard America. Hearing Troy's talk enlightened both our youth and adults about the how and why of the Cup. The America's Cup is an integral part of our history and it was very meaningful to Sail Sand Point to be able to share that history. As a small boat program dedicated to youth, their education about this exciting and important event was really rewarding.

I dropped an anchor in her words and set a hook that’s held through storms and as a mooring when life is easy. This year at the Wooden Boat Festival, under the hottest, brightest sun of September, I circled back to that reality, but this time I was in my 50s and surrounded by hundreds of boat owners and thousands of people who’d found the same anchorage. Hidden beneath the alluring beauty of our wooden vessels and the blustering pride of craftsmanship, a safe amount of scope below the surface, was the weighty truth. Life is short. A friend in his 20s from Florida knows it. Just a few years ago, Korey Ruben and his girlfriend drove to Port Townsend to attend their first Festival. Now, he’s a graduate of the Boat School (www.nwswb.edu) and they own a Bob Prothero designed sloop called Virginia, moored in Mystery Bay. With only a half hour’s notice, he helped me move my 1936 Danish Spidsgatter, Pax, into her Festival whom we’d worked for a decade, who died last year. Festival icons Sam Devlin and Carol Hasse, now in their 60s know it. In addition to running their businesses, juggling families and getting their own boats, the 1934 salmon troller, Josephine, and 1959 Folkboat, Lorraine, ready for Festival, we found ourselves wracking brains and hearts to Photo by Karen Higginson fill the giant footsteps abruptly left by loss of position at Point Hudson, then we Lifetime Achievement Award emcee moved Virginia into hers.

His roommate, a brilliant colleague with Lapworth 45, Annie Too, was hauled out at Boat Haven a few weeks before Festival when he struck ill and passed away. Two days later, nearly 300 people walked his boat to the launch ramp in support of son, Adrian and wife, Kate as they carry on his legacy of family-beyond-blood. * The Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festiaval Kaci Cronkhite onboard “Pax” with Dave Wickland, former owner of Sail Classics at this year’s Wooden Boat Festival.

He was onboard the racy 62’ day sailer Francis Lee, a boat he designed for Kim Bottles that was built at the NW School of Wooden Boatbuilding and harkens back, at least in part, to Bill Garden’s Oceanus, a boat that stopped Perry in his tracks at fifteen. The boat was built by a who's who of northwest craftspeople and stood in dramatic contrast to traditional classics like Deer Leap, Elmore and Joshua Slocum moored nearby. * photo by Joe Cline 14 October 2015 www.48North.com T FO HA N R K B O YO AT U YO U R S A SU SE FL A P O PO TT AT R LE 20 T A 15 T !

Northlake Way, Seattle Lowtide Race to Alaska challenges Larry Ellison and Team Oracle USA to 2016 race The details for the second Race to Alaska were revealed at the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival, and while the format of the race remains largely identical to the inaugural race, the most significant change to the is a challenge issued by race organizers to Larry Ellison: If the former Oracle CEO and his America’s Cup Team can simply complete the Race to Alaska onboard a boat that has been in the America’s Cup, he will earn an honorary set of R2AK steak knives, the race’s iconic second place prize. Now in its second year, the Race to Alaska is a 750-mile boat race between Port Townsend, WA and Ketchikan, AK, that has few rules: no motors onboard, no prearranged support. There are no handicaps or classes for different types of vessels and the first to cross the finish line gets $10,000, the second place team gets a set of steak knives. In its first year, only 15 of the 35 teams that entered crossed the finish line. The race was started to demonstrate what can be possible without an engine, and that adventure can be had on virtually any budget. Teams finished in vessels ranging from racing trimarans, open sailboats, outrigger canoes, and a kayak. According to the rules of the R2AK, teams can avail themselves of resources that are available along the race route, but only if those resources are available to everyone, and nothing that has been pre-arranged. Beattie elaborated, “You can buy food, borrow tools, stay at a hotel- you can even get a foot massage if you want to- just as long as everyone else could too.” Support boats and onshore support teams are strictly prohibited. “If it was a supported race they’d win hands down, but if they are just out there on their own could they even make it to the finish line? Now that’s an interesting question.” More information about the R2AK can be found at www.R2AK.com Windrose Interiors creating custom boat interiors since 1982 • Custom Fitted Cushions • Curtains & Carpets • Cockpit Cushions • Fitted Sheets • Accessories 10527 12th Avenue NW Seattle, WA 98177 www.windroseinteriors.com • Red cotton hat • Khaki hat • Navy Blue hat One size fits Most $15.00 each + s/h (206) 789-7350 www.48north.com We pay the sales tax! www.48North.com If you are single and interested in boating and socializing, consider joining SSYC.

The AquaDrive system solves a problem nearly a century old; the fact that marine engines are installed on soft engine mounts and attached almost rigidly to the propeller shaft. The very logic of AquaDrive is inescapable. An engine that is vibrating on soft mounts needs total freedom of movement from its propshaft if noise and vibration are not to be transmitted to the hull. The AquaDrive provides just this freedom of movement. Tests proved that the AquaDrive with its softer engine mountings can reduce vibration by 95% and structure borne noise by 50% or more.

Maritime Trivia by B ryan H enry Lowtide During ancient sea battles, sailors launched pots of burning oil at enemy ships. Fridtjof Nansen led the first expedition across Greenland, on skis, in 1888. The Galapagos Islands were the first designated World Heritage Site, in 1978. Explorer Ernest Shackleton and crew survived five months in Antarctica after their ship, Endurance, was crushed by ice in 1915. When Norway gained independence from Sweden in 1906, Nansen became his country’s first ambassador to the United Kingdom. Borneo is the world’s only island divided between three countries: Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia. During Shackleton’s expedition he journeyed 800 miles from Elephant Island to South Georgia, Antarctica, with five of his crew in the James Caird lifeboat. A 15th-century Portuguese prince, Prince Henry the Navigator, founded a sailing school, but never went on any voyages of discoveries. English navigator and explorer William Baffin, who lent his name to Baffin Bay between Greenland and Canada, was the first person to determine longitude at sea by observing the moon. National Geographic Society Explorer in Residence Sylvia Earle, ocean explorer and marine scientist and conservationist who was the first female chief scientist of NOAA, was named Time magazine’s first “Hero for the Planet” in 1998. It was only in the 1890s that Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen proved that the Arctic was a deep polar ocean with a drifting ice cap. Roman battleships called triremes were powered by oars as well as sails. In 1986, Easter Island’s landing strip was expanded to allow emergency landings for space shuttles. The Bahamas contain more blue holes than any other country and also boast the world’s deepest submarine sinkhole, Dean’s Blue Hole. The world’s largest chain of barrier islands lies off the coast of Brazil and stretch more than 350 miles. The Battle of the Coral Sea, fought in World War II, was the first air-sea battle in history. Fall Into More Sailing! SUNDAY MEMBER PROGRAMS The fun never stops here at SSC.

The three authors, who have each voyaged thousands of miles with children on board, provide a factual and balanced look at the realities of family life on the sea. From their own experience and with information from interviews with dozens of other voyaging parents, they discuss caring for an infant on board, handling the changing needs of children as they grow, education options, ensuring parents find the private time to keep their relationships in tune, and helping children make the eventual transition back to shore life. Added to the authors’ voices are sidebars from other cruising parents with specialized information on subjects as diverse as handling special diets and how your children can keep in touch with friends around the world. A unique bonus chapter, written by a dozen former cruising kids looks at the longterm effects of breaking a w a y f ro m s h o re s i d e normalcy.

It is also the first and only watermaker with mechanical override for full redundancy and peace of mind. And, no other watermaker can be operated and monitored remotely, via smartphone, tablet or computer: The XTC-ZTC can be operated from home, a car or anywhere via the Dometic’s Smart Touch Integrated Intelligence Control software. The XTC-ZTC is a double-pass system. The XTC side of the system – the first pass – makes potable freshwater from seawater and feeds it to the ZTC system. The second pass is through the ZTC system, which further purifies the freshwater by removing 95-99% of total dissolved solids. The ultra-purified water is then sent to the vessel’s storage tank. If at port, boat owners can also use the ZTC system to purify dockside water before bringing it onboard. The ZTC freshwater reverse osmosis system eliminates 95-99% of all impurities – including hardwater minerals, heavy metals, particles, viruses, cysts, bacteria, and radioactive contaminants – creating fresh, clean drinking water. The system removes dissolved solids which leave water spots and are destructive to marine paints, coatings, hardware and other yacht finishes.

The compact, lightweight unit is an effective aid to recovering crew and passengers who have fallen overboard by sending alert messages, GPS position and a special identity code directly to AIS receivers within approximately a four mile radius. A flashing LED light aids location at night. A built-in high precision GPS receiver - which updates every 60 seconds – provides precise location, distance and bearing data. Onboard crew members (and nearby AIS-enabled receivers) receive all the information they need to locate the position of the person in difficulty, enabling a speedy recovery. The S20 will transmit continuously for a minimum of 24 hours and has a seven year battery storage life. It is made of ultra durable ABS and waterproof to five meters.

By Jack and Alex Wilken We recently removed the diesel engine from our 1978 Yamaha 33 sailboat and installed an electric motor. This month, we want to share some of that process. Our interest in a nonfossil-fuel means of propulsion goes back a long ways. But until now, we have not put it into practice beyond running our diesel engine on biofuel. There are questions that we asked and that people asked us; we will try to answer some of them. The first one is, “How fast or far will it go?” Then, “How big of an electric motor do I need?” “What kind and how many batteries do I need?” These and other questions give the general impression that electric propulsion (EP) is something new and not really well understood. The reality is that electricpowered boats are not something new. If we look at history, the evolution of electric boats bears a striking similarity to that of the electric car, and both are tied to battery technology and the price of petroleum. The golden age of the electric boat can be considered from 1880 to 1920 when the gasoline outboard began its reign of terror with both air and sound pollution. With present day technological advances in electric motors, pulse controllers, and batteries, we may be set to begin the next “Golden Age.” The beginning of this project started with the removal of the internal combustion engine. We were careful to keep every nut and bolt and to label everything as much as possible. In the end, this meant we had no problem selling the old diesel. One issue in the removal is the disposal of the cooling system liquid and old fuel. This requires that you have containers available and know where to take them. Household Hazardous Waste will take most, if not all, of what you will need to dispose of. Be sure to wear protective gear such as gloves and a respirator (old sound 24 insulation can be nasty stuff) as well as eye and ear protection if you are grinding or banging on things. Our house batteries were in the same space as the engine, so we moved them in order to keep all of the electric propulsion in the same space for reasons that we will go into later. The old engine weighed just under 300 lbs. We were able to lift it out through the hatch using the spinnaker pole supported by a halyard with the help of a 4-to-1 purchase of the boom vang secured to the spinnaker pole at the place that was supported by the halyard. The first step in the EP part of this project was deciding on the size of electric motor to install. This should have been easy, but, as it turns out, is a little confusing. We started from the size of the diesel engine we were taking out. Before going further we are going to define some terms. In general it is common to speak about horsepower (hp) when we speak about engines. Hp is a measurement of power reflecting the rate at which work is done. This can also be expressed in kilowatts (kw) or Figure 2: The engine space is now home to the electric propulsion. “A” = electric motor controller. “B” = electric motor. “C” = shore power battery charger. “1 - 8” are the batteries. October 2015 www.48North.com 1000 watts. Kilowatts is more common when we speak about electric motors because it is volts x amperes = watts. In a very simplistic way, the volts are the size of the pieces of electricity, the amps are how many pieces there are, and watts equals the power that they represent. This means that if you want a specific amount of power (hp or kw) from your EP, you can either increase the volts or the amperes. Torque is the measurement of a turning force like the flywheel. These units for the U.S. are in a foot of movement per pound of force (ft/lbs). If we were repowering with diesel, we would look at a range from 2 to 4 hp per ton. In this case that would mean 10 to 20 hp. The Yamaha came with a 12 hp Yanmar and we were always happy with it, so we replaced it with an equivalent sized electric motor (around 8.95 kw). Anyone looking for different performance than the motor being replaced could adjust the kw of the new motor accordingly. The characteristics of the EP are different from that of the diesel, mainly in that the Yanmar produced its maximum torque of 24 ft/lbs @ 2200 rpm and the EP that we chose produces a maximum torque of 22 ft/lbs @ 0 rpm, being rated at 2250 rpm. An advantage of electric motors is that they can put out nearly max torque at any rpm. This is the continuous rating of this particular electric motor. We found we had to be careful to compare apples to apples and not apples to oranges since different EP manufacturers post different ratings, sometimes using peak ratings which can vary wildly as they depend on a stated run time (these can be quite short - as in minutes, not hours). The continuous torque & power for the motor we put in are 22 ft/lbs & 7.4 kw while the peak is 54 ft/lbs & 18.6 kw. The manufacturer refers to it as 7 kw or 7000 watts. If that is not confusing enough, there is a formula to convert from hp to kw (1 hp = 0.745699872 kw). So, if we use that, the 12 hp Yanmar x Ballard Sails and Yacht Services Custom Sails & Rigging Built for NW Sailors by NW Sailors Fig. 3: It is important to equalize the voltage of all of the batteries before connecting them in series to get higher voltages. Connect all the positives together and then all of the negatives together so that you have one large 12 volt bank, “B”. Connect a marine automatic charger, “A”, for two days and then let sit for another 2 days. Now they are ready to install. Are you prepared if the winds change?

It is also important to note that the size of diesel engines installed in sailboats has steadily increased over the last 50 or 60 years. This seems to be a product of ‘bigger is better’ and the fact that accurate calculations, from tank testing etc., are usually not made in the small boat arena like they are in the super tanker world. We then laid out the space starting with the old engine beds, now to be the motor beds. The Yamaha had metal plates laminated on the underside of the engine pan which were drilled and threaded for the old engine mounts. We cut a piece of aluminum box that was the height we needed to raise the beds to align the motor with the existing propeller shaft (Figure 1, page 24), and drilled it to match the old engine mount holes. Maintaining or even improving the integrity of the mounting system is especially important if the propeller thrust goes directly to the motor flange as is the case if there is no thrust bearing on the shaft. You can use hard, adjustable engine mounts because there is no motor vibration to transmit to the hull and their only purpose is for ease of alignment. With motor location defined, next you want to mount all propulsion 26 batteries in the same space to keep cable runs short and to have them at the same temperature, so you can use a temperature compensated battery charger. This is important. We were able to fit eight 12 volt 100 amp hour batteries wired for 48 volts giving us 200 amp hours of 48 volts. This meant that if we cruised at a 40 amp-hour (Ah) draw (about 3.5 to 4 knots), each battery was discharging at 20 Ah which is an efficient use of the batteries. A 200 Ah bank @ a 40 Amp draw = 5 hours run time (See 48° North, May 2015). As you increase the amperage draw above lower levels, the amount of Ah you will get out of the batteries will decrease. We also mounted the motor controller and battery charger in the old engine space (Figure 2, page 24). Before you connect the batteries for 48 volts they should all be connected in parallel (positive to positive and negative to negative) and charged with an automatic marine 12 volt charger for a couple of days. Then, let them sit for another day or so to equalize the voltage between all the batteries (Figure 3, page 25). Out in the cockpit, a lot of things changed. The instrument panel with tachometer, oil pressure, and water temperature gave way to a battery monitor and an on/off button with built in warning light. The throttle with October 2015 www.48North.com its forward/reverse and transmission disconnect mechanism was replaced by a low effort electric throttle that has detents for forward and reverse. Our old throttle did not move easily and had to almost be kicked into gear. The new one can be easily operated with your shin. You no longer are looking for engine rpms but instead for amperage draw and boat speed. We added some extra instruments but only because we want to fine tune the system for max efficiency. These include an air temperature gauge, a second voltmeter, and shaft rpm counter. This will allow us to try different gear reductions and propeller pitches looking for the sweet spot between boat speed and maneuverability. To change the gear reduction only requires replacing a pulley and the toothed belt, and changing the prop pitch is as easy as unscrewing a set screw and replacing it with a different one (Figure 4). We were able to mount things where they fit best, or where they were most accessible, because of the lack of position-sensitive parts. For example, the controller is bolted to the underside of the hinged cover with the cables secured near the hinge point to allow movement. You cannot do that, for instance, with a fuel filter. The batteries also can be mounted in any position. The diesel engine itself, of course, cannot be separated into bits and mounted where it is convenient. For most boats it is a pound for pound and dollar for dollar swap. The weight of the diesel motor and tank with fuel to the electric motor with controller and batteries are close to the same, and the cost of the two are also similar. The whole installation went as planned and without any greasy hands or diesel stained clothes. While underway, only the sound of the propeller wash is heard, and the ability to maneuver at slow speeds without having to put the engine into and out of gear is a real joy. This article is about the installation of electrical propulsion, but we would be remiss not to comment on the quiet that we enjoy both when sailing or motoring. Jack and Alex Wilken are experienced boat builders and have cruised extensively. They each hold a 100-ton USCG Captain’s License and are the owners of Seattle Boat Works LLC in Seattle. “S ay Pam, did you know that the largest cyclone ever recorded in the southern hemisphere was named after you a week ago?” I was clearing my account, getting ready to clear the country. The lumber store manager looked at me like that wasn't a nice thing to say. “Isn't your boat down there somewhere?” “Yep, goin' on Wednesday.” “When will you be back?” “Seven months or so.” A vacant stare and a quick shake of the head told me something. The manager of the building supply store thinks I'm crazy. Oh well. But, when a purse seiner captain shakes his head like that, then fixes his eyes on you, and says, “yer crazy,” maybe its time to start listening. “I’m moving on tomorrow, Andy.” “Headin' to Guam just like that, huh?” The captain's statement reaffirmed the reasons why I'd stopped at Pohnpei, and that all the items had been checked off the lists. I should be feeling more ready for sea than this. Perhaps the prospect of motoring 180 hours in calm, hot, cyclone-breeding water perpetuated anxiety. Waiting for favorable wind this time of year could very well expose a mariner to deadly weather - causing shipwreck conditions or death. “Wanna hear my poem again?” Before I could answer, captain Andy's posture was stiff, a stage presence could be felt. He didn't even scan the potential audience of The Rusty Anchor in Pohnpei. So long as someone was around to hear, he orated with the bravado of William Shatner. I'll eventually get him to publish the poem. When I touched down a few days after cyclone Pam brushed the Coromandle Peninsula, NZ, the miles ahead, the work to be done, so much I didn’t know... it does seem crazy. Ninety calm miles west-northwest from Pohnpei, my plastic water lock muffler melted. Eight weeks prior, the same thing happened. Five of those weeks were spent waiting for shipment of a replacement. We visited the Vanuatu archipelago help is not needed. Gratitude and payment forward are the currencies for salvation in this tribe. People who haven't been to sea don't even know the right questions to ask. There is always a friendly willingness with the Pacific Islanders. Often too transparent to detect, however, is an understandable apprehension about visitors. The local Pacific Islanders differ far more between one another than their geography does, and the response to travelers varies between the island. I hypothesize that it has much to do with which nation is their protectorate, or if they are self-governed. In my opinion, French Polynesia has the most overtly unwelcoming attitude in all of Oceania. Their feelings are rooted in pride and betrayal, and I don't blame them one bit. Cruising on a sailboat allows a visitor to scratch the social gel coat a bit. Beyond the resorts where islanders are paid to smile, serve, dance, and welcome you, core feelings rise to oxidize the surface of paradise with topics like history, industry, and politics. Imperialism, Smallpox, blackbirding, nuclear bomb testing, and the arrogant presumption that they were 'discovered,' are sins unforgivable like any genocide. These wrongs are remembered by all generations. As Ingrid Princess trounced along the trade wind route, we enjoyed more jeweled islands, atolls, and lagoons. Ingrid Princess made Rarotonga, Cook Islands, giving her crew a completed circle in life. We had visited the capital of the Cooks dozens of times over the past twelve years via Air New Zealand when I partnered in the operation of the game fishing vessel, Seafari. Rarotonga was our introduction to the South Pacific, where I cut my teeth capturing the impressive pelagic fish. All the maintenance and charter work of the 34' Canadian workboat fueled a desire to have a sailboat on the island, somehow. Arriving via Ingrid Princess years later with a small pod of humpbacks at the Avaitu harbor entrance, we lived large 27 Pacific Perspective by Tracy Hollister purely under sail power. How I miss those tradewinds! Adrift north of the convergence zone, we were forced to sail back in winds from light to nothing, praying for thunderstorms to hit so something could fill the sails. During the two-day return, I sent a request to Andy on board Sea Bounty in Pohnpei. We're gonna make an aluminum water lock. He got the ball rolling. It’s ironic for a greenie like myself calling for help from a vessel that burns tens of thousands of gallons of diesel to over-harvest hundreds of thousands of tons of tuna makes me contemplate the role of this 'tribe' I've become a part of. It's the people that make this entire Pacific journey worthwhile and unique. The mariners on the high seas are ambitious and resourceful, and equally generous to help, even when www.48North.com October 2015 for three weeks, enjoying our friends and our old south Pacific home. Seafari was still holding her own on the charter boat quay under her new Kiwi owners. One hundred fifty miles is close proximity for any two of the fifteen scattered Cook Islands. Due north, Aitutaki, held a magnetism for us that made it difficult to leave. Anywhere population is sparse, social anxieties and problems wane. Aitutaki's small area and population make it an ideal remote community with a large healthy lagoon. Richard Story, an old fishing buddy from Raro manages the ministry of marine resources. During a lagoon outing on his glass bottom research boat to check on his giant clam farm, he offered me a job running the boat for tourists. All the more reason to stay. Leaving Raro and a carpentry job offer the previous week had been vexing. My compulsion to continue exploring with the Ingrid Princess, and eventually return to my native land prevailed. In retrospect, when I reconsider staying in Aitutaki, I avoid regret by reminding myself that we can always return. It's all downwind after all. With permission from Cook Islands immigration (handled by the son of castaway and author, Tom Neale, famous for An Island To Oneself) we departed Aitutaki for Palmerston Atoll, 350 miles west. Our float plan to buddy boat with S/V Code Blue from Seattle filtered through the coconut network, and we were requested to deliver food to the struggling atoll. “God will bless you in a mighty way,” the father of Palmerston's mayor proclaimed as the last dink ferry was loaded. I surveyed the deck full of goods, accepting the blessing. “I hope so, I'm departing on a Friday with four hundred pounds of bananas.” Skip assured me later that the double negative canceled out the bad luck. We had a fast smooth passage, out sailing our buddy, a Caliber 40, and were greeted like saints in Palmerston, population sixty-three. This community, all named Marsters, is in the anthropological echelon of locations such as Pitcairn. After a gastronomic feast, considered lunch in Palmerston (surprising and incredibly generosity, considering this was a hungry island that hasn't had a regular 28 food delivery in two months), we all enjoyed an island tour. There are no roads on Palmerston. We met all the influential leaders of the community, including descendants of the author Robert Dean Frisbie. After too much shipwreck talk and a half gallon of ice cream each (another surprise), both boats decided to get moving for Nuie. Returning to the lagoon with a few kilos of parrot fish in an empty plastic ice cream tub made me wonder if we consumed more during our stay than we actually delivered from Aitutaki. Clocking winds were creating a vulnerable situation for our offshore lee-side moorings. Due to the usual mental programing of impending time at sea, sleep was intermittent that night. Or, maybe it was just the the song of the humpback. A pod had taken temporary residence in the lee of the atoll within the mooring field. The familiar pre-passage trickle of adrenalin coursed while laying in bunk. The ocean mammals chatting all night kept my pelagic, roaming animal-brain alive. We will continue to New Zealand as planned, and then sail home to Oregon. A protectorate of New Zealand, the Cook Island Maori people possess what I found to be a mild disdain , most evident on the for the papa‘a crowded capitol island of Rarotonga. This feeling is mitigated by the pride of sovereignty within the Cook Island people, but resentment is ever present. With hospitality and welcoming spirit second perhaps to Fiji, the visitor gets the feeling that they are just that, no matter what history or method of arrival; if you're not native Maori, you don't belong. This cultural rift was created by white men during colonization. It is by no means a reason not to visit! I had an epiphany while strolling hand in hand with my wife down a beach in Fiji, away from the resort where Ingrid Princess was anchored in the pass. In my head, there on that beach, was a whirling memory of the islands and the painful work required to get our boat there, all in one sweaty, tropical cocktail. I admired a large rocky boil where ancient magma had broken through the earth's crust to meet seawater. Happy to appreciate some rare geology above the sea surface, I October 2015 www.48North.com realized how spoiled I am as a native of the Pacific Northwest. “Our home waters are even more beautiful than this,” I stopped and turned to my wife. I felt despondent. “Did we sail ten thousand miles to understand that?” Knowing she had already surmised this, I continued wondering aloud, “paradise is not some place you go. It's what you call the place around you.” Further down the beach, away from the resort's sprawling property, plastic rubbish beyond the area raked clean by the resort's employees appeared. Fiji has perfected the tropical tourism industry, a simple matter for the friendliest people on the planet. Still riding high on independence from British rule, and the Rugby 7's victory, Fiji's ‘bula’ spirit is as old as kava. Even the customs officials are charming. During departure from Vuda Point marina, the staff congregates around your boat to sing. Security guards, laundry maids, waitresses, and office staff, all gather smiling and singing. This wasn't like your birthday at Hoosong and Larry's Mexican Cantina, the Fijians blessed us with their song. With the goal to return Ingrid Princess to Oregon by October of the same year, cruising time was coming to an end. We had one month left for Vanuatu, and then it became delivery time to get home. Due to the melted muffler upon arrival in Port Vila, we could not use the engine. Instead of waiting in the stinky capital, we sailed throughout several of the eighty-three islands in the archipelago. Moving north, we ended up in Espiritu Santo. Vanuatu is a wild place, and with some planning a very worthy cruising ground. If you are in need of a crucial boat part while in these waters, it may be best to fly to Aukland and pick up the part personally. A month of waiting can be reduced to a few days, and shipping costs are over half the price of airfare. Cruising without the diesel created a few hardships, and limited our mobility, but with fifteen to twenty knots of southeast wind everyday, sailing to and from anchorages on our way north was not a problem. Tracy Hollister and the “Ingrid Princess” are presently making the passage back to their home in Oregon. The Artist’s View – Secrets of the Salish Sea Sketches and story by Larry Eifert In early September, the Puget Sound Express whale-watching boat crew spied a rare Fin Whale off Whidbey Island, the first one spotted in the Salish Sea in decades. The Fin is the second largest mammal on the planet and named for its slender, fin-backed shape. I honestly didn’t know much about them, so I did some reading – and this is such an interesting creature that I wanted to share what I found. These whales are gigantic, for sure, and can become almost 90 feet long and can weigh 165,000 pounds. How big is this? A single fin whale could produce 660,000 whale burgers, or enough for every person in Seattle with leftovers. Don’t worry, I’d be willing to bet most of us would order something else. Like other whales, this one was hunted (and still is), and it’s reported that between 1905 and 1976, over 725,000 were slaughtered in the Southern Hemisphere alone. Fins, or Finbacks, were described by naturalist Roy Chapman Andrews as the greyhound of the sea for their slender body that is “built like a racing yacht… which can surpass the speed of the fastest ocean steamship.” What caught my eye was the somewhat hidden description of the Fin’s eating style. Being a baleen whale, it filters small fish and crustaceans, shrimp and krill, by simply opening its mouth wide, lunging forward and taking in whatever is in front of it - and then straining out what’s unnecessary (including about half the ocean). It’s not just a dainty mouth (my drawings tell it all)! And, by this technique, a fin can consume about 4,000 pounds of food each day, probably explaining how it can grow so large in the first place. Larry Eifert paints and writes about wild places. His work is in many national parks across America – and at larryeifert.com. www.48North.com October 2015 29 LESSONS LEARNED WHILE CRUISING Jamie & Behan Gifford Machete Man: A Day Among New People “Remember, it’s not ‘ndje ndje’ here,” I said to Behan while hopping out of the dinghy. “‘Ndje ndje’” is a common greeting on Anjouan Island, in the language of the tiny East African island nation of Comoros, 250 miles west of the beach in Madagascar where we just landed. Anchored in their front yard, 25 expressionless villagers waited for us to say something. Beginning with the wrong greeting wasn’t likely to impact our visit, unless locally, “ndje ndje” means light the fire because lunch just arrived. But with no common spoken language between us, body language, miming, and sand drawings make slow work of understanding one another. Of course, cannibalism isn’t a worry here; that was back in New Guinea and Borneo. Still, you never really know how people will respond to aliens anchoring in their front yard. And, as guests in faraway places, it can take us some time to learn the local language and communication customs. Worldwide communication has never been easier. With internet access or a satellite phone, the hardest part of staying connected to friends that are oceans apart is timing so as to not wake them in the wee hours of morning. Comoros and Madagascar are on the short list of the absolute poorest countries, yet getting wireless internet access to Totem is easy. It takes a local sim card that costs $6 dollars and a data plan that ranges from $6 to $15 per gigabyte. Speed and reliability are frustrating and coverage is spotty, but it makes our little slice of home feel so much bigger than Totem’s 47 feet. Pretty incredible, considering the annual per capita income in Madagascar is well below $1,000 USD (amounts vary by sources making estimates). Even good old fashioned face-toface verbal communication is usually easy since English, or some English-ish variation, is so widely spoken. In Papua New Guinea alone, there are more than 800 languages spoken. Neighboring islanders have languages without a common word between them, but most people also speak pidgin English. In Totem’s cockpit, we had no trouble understanding Papuans, who had never seen a computer and had no concept of satellites, tell stories of bird clans and real mermaids that steal children. Africa has about 1,600 languages. Back on the beach in Madagascar, we began conservatively with the 25 stone-faced villagers. A hearty smile and confident “bonjour” seemed as good a way as any to start. Note: a French speaking crew member is most welcome for world voyaging! U n f o r t u n a t e l y, we know three words in French: “ b o n j o u r ” (hello), ‘‘merci’’ (thank you), and In Madagascar, working boats are still in the age of sail! “cochonnet” Siobahn, age 11, likes it! 30 October 2015 www.48North.com (little pig). Given the traces of Islam here, we knew to keep the little pig out of our introduction. “Merci” seemed premature since they could’ve run us off the beach if they didn’t like our “ndje ndje!” “Bonjour” worked, and the senior male of the group replied in what sounded like passable French. As he spoke, his eyes stayed downward, focused on the glass shard tool that he was using to shape the new wooden handle of a large, well used machete. We didn’t understand a word he said. We kept on with the smiles and gybed away from the little French that we knew and loved. We tried a Frenchish accented pidgin English variant. Machete man looked up, paused, gave a broad smile and said something in another language altogether different. The last word he said, while breaking into gut busting laughter, sounded like “Anglais.” The others began laughing as well. We felt pretty certain that we weren’t on the menu. They understood that we only spoke English. Cruisers always hope to encounter friendly locals. Hopefully, they’re so friendly that they will invite you to share a meal and serve sea turtle steaks, or the delicacy in Madagascar, lemur brains. That is the perfect time to mime, respectfully, that we cannot eat sea turtle or lemur, just as they cannot eat cochonnet. Or maybe they convey a message of wanting to collect our garbage. What gracious hosts! Then you realize that the trash has treasures, such as plastic containers, that make life a little easier. Meanwhile, the shy, curious children play about, and teen boys launch a dugout canoe. They are off to fish next to the alien ship, the lucky spot. When you cannot understand the words, behaviors carry so much meaning and are always wrapped in questions. Was the man and his machete giving a “don’t mess with us” display or just working through his to-do list for the day? He was sitting with downward eyes – a submissive gesture perhaps? Was it risky behavior on our part just being there? A boat with far more monetary value than the islanders’ collective wealth and five strange people that could just as easily disappear. In the prior few weeks, we sailed from Port Victoria Seychelles to Comoros, but paused after 600 miles at uninhabited Cosmoledo Atoll for a break from rough weather. We anchored in a narrow sand patch between a coral reef and 3,000 foot drop off to wait for gentler weather that did not come. From there was a 250 mile sail, 80 of which we did in eight hours, to Anjouan Island in Comoros for a clearance process that took four days. Arrival in Comoros also marked the first time in three months that we were out of the area designated by Lloyd’s as high risk for East African piracy. Very few cruisers visit Comoros (just one boat we know of in 2014), so we stood out. One lucky day we were boarded twice by different groups of police wearing dirty boots speaking a local dialect and French trying to take our passports. Those are just a few recent highlights, and admittedly they sound unsettling. With patient communication the Comorian police departed with smiles, no passports, and a liter of gas because they had run out. It took two years of research before feeling comfortable crossing a corner of the high risk piracy area (and with no piracy in that period). There were no inhabitants on Cosmoledo to play charades with, but anchoring on the leeward side stitch of sand gave us rest and a chance to commune with countless sea birds and sea turtles (none of which were eaten). The reserved villagers on Machete Man Beach greet us Fishermen with their monster Langouste! with smiles now, if not many words. We’ve toured their village, been crime and overzealous police aren’t to a lively soccer match, and traded inviting.

By Gregory A. Larsen The current time is 0229 am on July 5. I can’t sleep, so I start writing in my journal. Our boat Nordic Sun, a C&C 39 out of Tacoma, has been rolling a little due to the swells beating against the rocks in Ikeda Cove entrance causing the waves to turn and roll down into the cove. Ikeda Cove is located in the Gwaii Haanas national park, in Haida Gwaii (formally Queen Charlotte Islands), British Columbia. Mind you, the rebounded waves are only small, but they do make the boat roll. It is eerily quiet, with the wind not blowing at all, especially with the gale force 32 wind forecast for southern Hecate Strait. Occasionally, a big wave rolls by causing the mainsheet block on the traveler to rattle due to a slightly loose mainsheet. The rattling has been keeping me awake for an hour or more. Just about when I’m asleep, the block rattles again causing me to be jolted back awake. I eventually get up and crank in on the mainsheet winch making the sheet drum tight. This stops the rattling. Now, maybe I can get some sleep. Shortly after climbing back in my bunk, the wind starts to blow. I can hear October 2015 www.48North.com it in the whistling through the rigging. I can feel the boat swing on the hook. When it swings just right, the wind comes through the small three inch gap in the companionway hatch, left that way intentionally to allow a little air in the boat. The breeze blows right down on me, in the quarter berth bunk. This causes me to pull my bedding up over my exposed arms. I pull the covers right up to my nose trying to stay comfortable. This was easier than closing the hatch. The wind slowly builds. Occasionally the gusts are so strong they make the boat heel over 5 or 10 degrees. The boat rights itself as it arcs across the bay on the anchor. Are the gale force winds they’ve been forecasting causing the wind in the harbor? Or are these just williwaws coming down from the hills and valleys around us? The wind only makes me worry more that we might drag anchor. All this worrying is keeping my mind active and keeping me from drifting off to a peaceful sleep. I turn the GPS on so I can occasionally look at it to determine our position in the bay. I’m fairly confident our anchor will hold with all the chain and nylon line I have out. Plus, we have a good muddy bottom to hold the anchor. All the same, I’m still concerned. I can see a nice arc that the GPS has made as it tracks our every swing on the display. Heather eventually gets up and pulls the cushions in from the cockpit so they don’t blow away. I look at the GPS again. I monitor our speed across the anchor swing arc, .7, .8, 1.0 knot. As I monitor the GPS I’ve seen us with speeds up to 1.2 knots while we track across our GPS arc in the wind. Our speed drops to The entrance to Ikeda Cove 0.0 when we hit the end of the arc, and we start our track back in the opposite direction. I can tell what direction we are tracking across the harbor by which way we’re heeled. First we are tracking to the right, then the left, then back to the right. I can even feel the boat change direction as it gets to the end of one side of the arc and starts back the other way. It’s like the tea cup ride in Disneyland when you are spinning one way, and the tea cup starts spinning in the opposite direction. The only difference is you enjoy the Disneyland ride, where our swinging arc ride in Ikeda Cove is more worrisome than With so many suitors, it’s tough to make a decision … Dude? Rocco? Biff?

A complete arching cycle lasts a few minutes, then the cycle repeats, over and over again. How many miles will this put on the GPS? Currently the odometer says 570. This means in the last two days, when the GPS has been on, Nordic Sun has traveled a mile just going back and forth in the harbor swinging on the anchor. It is now 0439. My laptop battery starts to run out of charge as I get the 10% left capacity message. The cord is not within reach, so I stop writing and start reading my book, hoping this will help keep my mind off the wind swirling around outside. I monitor the GPS with every page turn. With each check I find we are still swinging on the same track as we always have. I’m reading a book about a shipwreck due to a failed anchor on a schooner. This makes me wonder when my number will be up and our anchor will fail to hold our position in the cove. The more I monitor the GPS and find we are still making a perfect arc, the less concerned I get. But if the wind should rise, I’m sure I’ll be even more concerned. Eventually I put my book down and try to sleep, which is not easy. I still keep looking at the GPS after every large gust wondering if Nordic Sun’s position is off our perfect arc. Once, after one of the exceptionally strong gusts Heather gets up and slides the hatch back. She peeks out to see where we are. I inform her that the GPS says we are right where we have always been. She confirms this as she scans the harbor under the light of a nearly full moon and cloudless sky. This morning I awoke at around 0600 when I heard the boat bump into something. Thinking it was bumping the bottom, I jumped up and turned on the depth sounder that is in the cabin. It reads 8 feet, and the shallow water alarm is beeping continually. I look out and it appears we are in the correct position. I look down in the water and don’t see bottom. I start the motor anyway. It starts but when I put it in gear it dies. I start the motor again, and then it dies again. On the third try the motor barely turns over and doesn’t start. The multiple starts did their toll to our already low battery bank. Then I push the start button one more time to see if it turns over at all. It barely does, but for some odd reason it fires this time. I put the motor in gear and give it gas. We slowly motor toward the direction of the anchor and into the wind that is buffeting the boat. This takes us away from the shoal behind the boat. I didn’t remember seeing an exposed rock yesterday when the tide was out, so what did we hit? I look at the GPS and it says we are still in the same sweeping arc. I’m puzzled! I turn the other depth sounder that is positioned at the wheel on, and read the depth it registers. I first read 0, and then read nothing. This is quite unusual. I flip the switch on the depth sounder off and on to reset it. Still no depth reading. All the time the other depth sounding is reading 8 feet and the shallow water alarm is beeping away. I switch the depth sounder off and on again. This time it finally acts normal and reads 41 feet. Why are the two depth sounders reading two different depths? This is very confusing and causes me concern. Which one is right?

I left the depth range in fathoms instead of feet. That explains it! There are six feet to a fathom, so eight fathoms is 48 feet. My fear of the anchor dragging and putting us dangerously close to the rock is no longer a concern. I shut down the motor and climb back below. Once down below I notice the inverter and the outlet list lights on our instrument panel are not on. This tells me my inverter has shut off due to a low voltage in my battery bank. This means my battery bank is now too low to start the motor or run the refrigerator/freezer unit. I drag the generator up on deck, tie it on, then start it. Heather brings out the cord; I plug one end into the generator while she plugs the other end into the boats shore power outlet. I then reset the inverter. The inverter and outlet lights come back on. I try to go to sleep; I’m extremely tired from monitoring the GPS for the last two hours, and being kept awake for another hour listening to the banging mainsheet block. It is now even harder to drift off because of the droning of the generator running nearly right above my head. It is also rattling against a stanchion so it makes even more racket than normal. I’m so tired I just let the generator bang the stanchion while it charges the batteries. I let the generator run for around two hours. It stops on its own when it runs out of gas. I drift off to sleep, then wake up, and then drift off again. This restless sleep cycle goes on for the next few hours. I monitor the GPS every time I awake. We are always swinging across the same arch on the GPS. The odometer now read 571. Another mile of progress to nowhere as we swing on the anchor in the gusty winds. As the morning rolls on, we decided to stay anchored here another day. Now that the outboard motor is mounted on the transom, and the inflatable is partly deflated and on the deck, I guess we are destined to stay on the boat all day. It is a great day. Total blue sky above, but there are hazy clouds to the southwest and the northwest. The weather radio still announces a gale force wind warning for all day. Tomorrow it sounds like the wind will be down a little in the morning. It will be a good day for some reading about the men shipwrecked on an island in the southern ocean in the winter. At least if we end up on the beach, which is doubtful, we will not have to deal with the bitterly cold weather they are enduring in July. The tide eventually goes out, dropping the water level in the bay 16.1 feet according to the tide table based on Atli Inlet 29 miles away. There are no rocks exposed at low tide. At least I know my light weight Fortress anchor will hold my boat in position in gale force winds. But next time gale force winds are in the forecast, I’m going to put down my 45 pound CQR and more chain to provide me with more confidence and more sleep in the kind of conditions we rode out last night. So what did go bump in the night? I will never know. Greg Larsen grew up cruising and racing in Puget Sound aboard his family sailboat.

I recently queried a buddy about the difference between Vic Maui and Van Isle. His response: “about 8 hours.” Another joker replied that they both have the same number of letters in the title. He did point out that the contrast in the races is the length of the delivery home after the race. Of course that can all vary too, but let’s put aside the wise guys I hang out with and take a closer look. For reference I’m basing my Vic Maui, and to a lesser extent Pac Cup and Transpac, on 20 race crossings (plus 22 other Pacific passages) and Van Isle on just two circumnavigations. Vic Maui and Pac Cup (VMPC, for short) are scheduled on even number years, Van Isle on the odd number years. They are generally the same time of year and require about the same time commitment from captain and crew. Check carefully and you will find the safety requirements and boat capabilities very similar. The Pac Cup, from San Francisco to Kaneohe, Hawaii, allows much smaller boats than Vic Maui, although there has been talk of allowing smaller boats to race in Vic Maui if they are able to provision for the greater distance and colder starting conditions. Each of these are “Bucket List” type races that most true sailors probably want to do at least once in a lifetime, and some many more. If you are into hot showers, terrific food and comfortable sleeping arrangements, you’ll either need a 36 boat that is likely longer than you are old, or sign up for the Van Isle. (The Captain scoffs at this one…). Each of the 10 legs over the 14 days of Van Isle 360 is hosted by a friendly community, typically with a signature sponsor providing a scrumptious meal. With prior planning by the obligatory road crew, an RV or hotel can be set up in each port so that sleeping is much more comfortable. Luckily, Vancouver Island is beautiful so it’s not a terrible job to drive around it following sailboats as the road crew. VMPC boats mostly try to provide healthy simple meals, augmented by an occasional treat provided by Neptune himself, and the skilled fishermen on board. If you’ve never had tuna from the salt chuck you know why sailors never confuse it with the stuff from a can. Bunks on an ocean racing boat are cozy, which helps you stay in them asleep for the few hours of rest that you will get when you’re off watch. Stay away from large open bunks, which look relaxing but end up with sailors tossed out and about. Generating warm water for showers on an ocean racing boat is kind of a lesson in cross purposes. If we’re trying to get across an ocean in a hurry why are we carrying loads of water, hot water tank, pressure system, fuel to heat it, or a power-hungry watermaker? (the Captain scoffs again…the best hot shower in the world is one in the October 2015 www.48North.com middle of the Pacific, but we digress). During my last trip across the Pacific, double handed to Hawaii we used less than 20 gallons total for the race. Many books have been written about boat preparation. Sail selection is the key to either race. Typically, on the Van Isle you will want your light air upwind quiver ready on the inside and the big air downwind hamper ready for the slide down the outside. Beware, because this can vary. This summer, there was big breeze most of the way! On VMPC some boats opt to leave the big genoa on the dock and enjoy a rating credit that can equal several hours of corrected time in the land of coconuts. Reaching sails are revolutionizing these races. Asymmetrical spinnakers, Code Zeros, Jib Tops and Blast Reachers, along with a selection of staysails, should keep the foredeck crew busy. Knowing which sail to use and when, as well as where to place a sheet lead,will separate your “round the cans” racer type from the blue water crowd. Generally, open and twisty shapes help keep the boat speed up in wind and waves. Chances are, you are going to tear up a sail or two in these long distance races. Throw a few extra needles in the sail repair kit and a bunch of insignia (sticky back sail cloth or tape) for the likely repairs. The advantage of Van Isle is that as long as it isn’t raining you can find a big enough spot to lay out the pieces of your damaged sail! You might even find a sail maker or two around camp to help you out. Inside a crowded offshore yacht with all the hatches latched to keep the waves out, and no heater to dry out the sail cloth, repairs are often difficult. Navigation is a premium in either race. Someone has to be in charge, and someone else needs to be savvier than the infamous Capt. Hazelwood, and it’s a premium if someone is handy with navigational software and isn’t afraid of laptop computers. Here is an opportunity for the skipper to look for a crew person who brings a spectrum of skills, rather than a superman who can get the genoa through the fore triangle the fastest in a buoy race. Either way, make sure you put a crew together that will stick together in fair weather or foul. At some point, things will go sideways, and probably literally. Speaking of crew harmony, it may be one of the biggest factors that you will remember after the race. While you need skilled crew who are able to trim and drive, and hopefully do some tricks on the bow, you also need crew who will do the dishes. There will be dishes, and hot coffee, and things that have nothing to do with sailing. Everyone will need to do their part or it will fall apart. While on the VMPC, nobody is going to abandon ship or mutiny, but crew dynamics can have a great effect on the experience. Land is always only two miles away, but it is straight down. On the Van Isle, crew get a chance to bail on you nearly every night. Boats can swap crew, crews can swap responsibilities, and some can join the road crew for a leg. Behind every successful Van Isle boat is a dedicated road crew vehicle. These range from a simple pick-up truck hauling the spare main and extra oatmeal to fancy RV’s full of steak dinners, a wine cabinet, and the family pet. Each race is a sum of its parts. Vic Maui is a battle out the Straits, a duel down the Coast, and a drag race through the Trades. The Van Isle is a beat up the inside, a reach over the top, and a sleigh ride home. Pac Cup and Transpac both start just north of the Trades, so the sooner you get to them the sooner you will enjoy a mai-tai. These are the descriptions provided by the race organizers... your actual experience may vary. Whether your goal is to set records or you would be happy with the Turtle Award for simply finishing, the satisfaction is real. Do a few warm ups, like Round the County, Oregon Offshore, Southern Straits and Swiftsure. For the double handed crowd, Race to the Straits, Northern Century, and Round Saltspring are popular. Southern Straits and Swiftsure have added double handed divisions in recent years as well. Build on what you learn. Work your way to the bottom of your list and start a new one.

A SCA can be issued for wind, waves, and even ice, and is specific to geographic areas of the coastal and inland waters of the U.S. For winds, the normal range will be somewhere between 21 to 33 knots. Keep in mind we are referring to sustained winds. The NWS criteria is wind averages of one minute. Momentary wind gusts lasting just a few seconds are sometimes up to 40 percent higher than sustained winds, and are generally not within the realm of absolute accurate forecasting. However, some West Coast forecast offices do forecast them, and base their advisories, watches, and warnings on gusts. The criteria for wave heights, defined as “the average of one third of the waves present,” will also be variable. In Morehead City, NC, waves of five feet will constitue a SCA; in Seattle, it is ten feet. Wave steepness comes into play, too. The reason for this variance is the constituent mariner base for those geographic locations that the NWS serves, whether it is predominantly recreational power boaters (Morehead City) or the commercial fishing industry in Seattle, WA. A SCA may also be issued for “Rough Bar” conditions on the Grays or Columbia River Bars in western Washington, or when sea or lake ice exists that could be hazardous to vessels and small boats. See the following links for the official NWS criterion for SCA’s (http://www. nws.noaa.gov/om/ marine/faq.htm#13). Small Craft Figure 1: The US map with NWS area office links: Advisory conditions http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/marine_map.htm As we enter the windier seasons, any boater -- whether cruising inshore, near shore, or especially offshore -should carefully consider the following with regard to the forecast weather conditions before leaving the dock: What marine advisories, watches, and warnings are contained in the marine forecasts that are in play in the next 5 days? If within the margin of safety…cast off. If not, stay put. If underway, seek appropriate anchorages, harbors, or marinas. When it comes to marine weather forecasts, the number one priority is knowledge of the present and future forecast of marine advisories, watches, and warnings! A comprehensive understanding of what those advisories, watches, and warnings mean makes that choice a lot easier. These are generated and issued by the National Weather Service (NWS), the largest field office under the administrative auspice of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A critically important function of the NWS is its marine forecast program. The lowest criterion for a marine warning is actually a marine advisory called a 38 October 2015 www.48North.com keep many recreational vessels, whether under power or sail, from leaving the dock and are often enough for vessels underway to seek shelter as soon as feasible (most forecasts are out to five days). However, if SCA conditions are forecast beyond 24-hours, then a “Watch” is in the headline. For marine warnings criteria, the next category up from a SCA is a GALE WARNING (34-47 knots sustained), then up to STORM WARNING (4863 knots sustained), and finally, HURRICANE FORCE WARNING (64 knots and higher, sustained or gusts). As the case is for SCA, a “Watch” will cover warning criteria for the appropriate conditions beyond 24-hours. The severity of the warnings levels beyond SCA are such that nearly all recreational sailors should stay on the dock or seek shelter, given the wind conditions and wave heights which are exponentially higher, drastically increased from the linear increase within SCA wind ranges. There is no precise definition of what a small craft is (physical size). Any vessel, no matter its physical size, that may be adversely affected by SCA criteria should be considered a small craft. Other important considerations must also include the experience of the vessel operator (includes crew), as well as the type and sea worthiness of the vessel. If you’d like to keep up with the latest marine forecasts (SCA’s and other weather phenomena and information), a local NWS forecast office will have marine weather advisories, watches, and warnings, and forecast responsibilities. Active sailors are likely familiar with where to find the local forecasts, but cruisers or travelers may find out of area forecasts to be more difficult to find.

No, these are not the names of Halloween characters, just a sample of the many varieties of pumpkin. Many are surprised to learn that pumpkins are a type of fruit and not a vegetable because they contain seeds. Most pumpkins yield about a cup of seeds – delicious! Pumpkins by Amanda Swan Neal Pumpkins belong to the same cucurbit family as squash, watermelons, and cucumbers, and most grow on vines (though not all). The early “heritage” versions of pumpkins were not the big orange Three Sisters Soup basketball-shapes we see now in the pumpkin patches or in crates in front of grocery stores. In fact, the smaller and more misshapen early pumpkins would have been very difficult to carve into a Jack-o-Lantern or stick onto the shoulders of a headless horseman. It is well known that pumpkins were grown with corn and beans in early settlements – the three came to be known as the “Three Sisters.” The practice was to train beans to grow up the corn stalks for support, and the low-lying squash is thought to prevent ground weeds from sprouting. And, like all beans, they return nitrogen to the soil to help nearby plants. While it is too late to start growing pumpkins now for a fall 2015 harvest, luckily the wonderful fruit is available fresh in most markets and farm areas this month, and of course available in the can form year round. Three Sisters Soup 1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 onion - diced 1 red or orange bell pepper - diced 2 cups diced pumpkin 12 garlic cloves - minced 5 cups of stock or water 40 October 2015 www.48North.com 1 teaspoon ground ancho chile 1 teaspoon aleppo chili flakes 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika 2 cups corn 2 cups cooked black beans juice of one lime 1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro salt and freshly ground pepper In a large soup pot heat oil, add onion and bell pepper; cook 2 minutes. Add pumpkin and garlic and cook 10 minutes. Add the water, salt, chili, paprika, bring to a boil. Add corn and black beans and simmer until vegetables are cooked, approximately 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Season to taste. Serves 4. Native Americans survived the long, cold winters with the help of pumpkin, which keep well. The sweet flesh was used in numerous ways: dried, roasted, baked, parched, and boiled. Dried pumpkin could be stored and ground into flour. They ate the seeds, used them as a medicine, and added the blossoms to stews. The outer pumpkin shells were also dried and used for bowls and containers to store grain, beans and seeds. The Pilgrims sliced the top off of pumpkins, scooped out the seeds and filled the cavity with cream, honey, eggs and spices. They replaced the top and buried the pumpkin in the hot ashes of a cooking fire. When it was cooked they removed the blackened pumpkin and ate the inner spiced custard along with the pumpkin flesh. These early settlers even made beer from pumpkins when there was a shortage of barley and hops.

They were greeted by strong breezes initially. In fact, a little too much wind kicked off the District Championship the weekend before, which served as a warm-up for the big event. Saturday’s gusts reached over 35 knots and the fleet stayed on shore. Sunday, the winds were more tame and the Corinthian Yacht Club race committee got off three good races with Brian Ledbetter/Josh Revkin taking the early lead by winning the first race. Carl/Jamie Buchan started to work their way back in the next race, setting up a showdown for the last race, which they took for the win. The next few days gave everyone a chance to finalize their preparation for the North Americans. As usual with the Star Class, there is no shortage of history and tradition. This regatta marked the fourth time the event has been held on Puget Sound since 1948, when local sailors Charlie and Bob Ross finished first ahead of a talented fleet including young Southern Californians Bill Ficker and Lowell North. Watching that event was a 13 year old Bill Buchan, who built himself a boat the following year and then took the North American’s with crew Jay Winberg when they were held here next in 1962. Bill competed in this year ’s regatta with Erik Bentzen. This year's North American Left: Brian Ledbetter and Joshua Revkin earn 2nd place. 42 Championship was presented by CSR Marine and North Sails Seattle, and hosted by Seattle Yacht Club, who assembled a “dream team” race committee with expertise from local sailors as well as from outside the area. The committee made several excellent calls on when and where to set the course throughout the event. Following a practice race on Wednesday, the first race of the North Americans on Thursday saw local sailors Dalton Bergan/Ben Glass lead wire to wire to start off with a win in light to moderate conditions. The next race belonged to George Szabo/Isao Toyama from San Diego who finished first to take the series lead. George and Isao looked tough, but when the next day, Friday, dawned with a strong Right: Andy MacDonald and Brad Nichol win the final race for 3rd overall.

The conditions do not get much better in Seattle than what the fleet saw on Friday, and Brian/ Josh combined good tactics with downwind speed to take the win in the first race that day, vaulting them to the series lead. The wind came up even a bit more for the next race and Carl/Jamie showed some speed in a breeze to take the race and the lead for the series. So far in the regatta, there had been four different race winners, with each one taking the lead for the series following their win. At this point the top six or seven boats were all quite close, particularly if you figured the discard, which would kick in with the next race. Saturday began with a moderate southerly and Carl/Jamie worked their way up to take their second win and pick up a few points on the fleet. The next race, featured some big swings as the wind was a bit lighter and a few transitions came through the race course. In the end Carroll McCallum/Jock Kohlhas found the right shifts, to lead the fleet home. Carl/Jamie managed to eke out a 5th, which was enough to secure the series before the last race on Sunday, where Andy MacDonald/Brad Nichol of Newport Harbor took the gun to move them to 3rd for the series.

Some of you may be familiar with the “BRCA genes” – or at least heard about it in the news – well the discovery of those breast cancer genes happened right here in Seattle at the University of Wahsington, and thanks to the funding that organizations like BCRF provide – and in fact, thanks to the funding from BCRF specifically. So why do we go out every year, get crazy and support this cause? Because women are alive today because this organization has supported the kind of research that creates scientific breakthroughs that allow those lives to be saved. Just a short time ago, this may not have been the case. Is there an easier way to make an impact for breast caner research than to get out and go sailing? Is there anything we love doing more than being on the water? I mean, seriously. It’s so easy. Our sailing community knows it. And the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, this year ’s commodore level sponsor, knows it too. The Breast Cancer Research Foundation knows it, because Peg just went back to New York and reported to the organization there’s a ferocious bunch of sailors in the Pacific Northwest who will stop at nothing. NOTHING! For me, personally, I can tell you is that for the fourth year in a row, I get to start and end the day with a very special woman, whose very life has twice been in the hands of research, treatment, and prevention, and who I would not have met had we not come just this far. Unfortunately, there are way too many folks who don't get to say that. Cancer is not a challenge, it’s not a sporting event that if you just try a little harder you can beat it. The patients, the doctors, the researchers, the treatments, all own the outcome, and none can make any guarantees outside of “we’re working on it. We’re learning. A little bit more, each day, another step forward.” And it’s expensive. All of it. It’s the most exorbitant and ridiculous yard bill you hope you never have to pay. But the easy part is taking the boat out of the slip once a year, throwing a little pink on it, having a little too much fun, and in turn becoming part of something truly amazing - the kind of thing that can change lives, because you went sailing. So I thank you, all of you, for being the reason I love this community: your energy, your exuberance, your dedication to being absolutely completely awesome.

He had a small boat that he used to travel from island to island. From that boat came a copper tea pot which became the Benson Cup Trophy. The race has been run since 1981 and the course is from Jones Island around Waldron Island and back, a distance of 15 miles. The proceeds from the race are given to the Children's House, a local San Juan County charity, Orcas Island Children's House. Contact Jimmy Roser at (360) 376-3236.

The yacht club in Maple Bay is BC’s second oldest next to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. This charming community, nestled between Salt Spring Island and Vancouver Island, is blessed with the stunning backdrop of Maxwell Mountain, Maple Mountain, Stoney Hill and Mount Tzouhalem. The Maple Bay Regatta has always been a popular event for sailboat racers due to the outstanding backdrop and uncertain wind conditions. During the regatta, keelboat racing took place in the eastern part of Maple Bay, with a possible course extending to North Reef just south of Thetis Island or from Paddy’s Milestone to Burgoyne Bay on Salt Spring Island and the Octopus Point mark near Sansum Narrows South. The dinghy racing took place in the Southern part of Maple Bay and Bird’s Eye Cove. Sailors from up and down the island and the mainland raced 43 keelboats in five divisions and 32 dinghies in four fleets. This year proved a challenge for Kirk Palmer, the Principal Race Officer. Maple Bay is known for its challenging racing 46 conditions due to inconsistent and light winds. This weekend was a case in poin, with converging winds from Bird’s Eye Cove, Sansum Narrows and Burgoyne Bay and the surrounding mountains made for shifty wind patterns. The tides and currents were not big factors this weekend and the racers played the shifts and oscillations instead. Saturday races started a little later while the PRO waited for the wind to pick up. It blew from the southeast and built from 5 to 15 knots with gusts of 20. The rain expected for Sunday came early on Saturday night and carried over to early Sunday morning. The low cloud resulted in very light winds on Sunday, not exceeding October 2015 www.48North.com 5 knots. Racing started late on Sunday at 12:30 with only two of the keelboat divisions finishing their races. The dinghies got off two races on Sunday but a hole at the windward mark made for some frustrating roundings. This year ’s dinghy racing saw a significant resurgence as a result of the efforts of one young Maple Bay sailor, Abby Brown, who encouraged dinghy racers from Comox, RVYC, Salt Spring Island, and Maple Bay to participate. The ten 420s, seven Fireballs, six Optimists, and nine Radial Lasers got off five races over the two days. The more than 50 dinghy racers were a great mix of juniors and adults. The Lieutenant Governor Trophy went to April and Paul Faget on their Left Coast Dart, Ogopogo from the Port Madison Yacht Club for winning combined Divisions A and B. And Ducati, raced by Antony Zegers of the Canadian Forces Sailing Association, won the Adams Cup for winning combined divisions C and D. Other keelboat winners included Rags skippered by Judy Button in the Ultra Class, Nigel Martin on Bullet Proof in Division B and Two Bits owned by Penny and Bruce Cameron in Division D. Winners in the dinghy fleet included Andrea Cairns in a Fireball, Opti sailor Ruben Rozen, Devin Roberts in the 420s and Ally Irwin in her Laser. The Maple Bay Yacht Club put on another great event that included Friday night soup, pancake breakfasts, Saturday night BBQ serving up steak and salmon, great live music and dancing on Saturday night! Sunday night fun was at the Lion Rampant (aka The Brig) with Chuck McCandless and family playing for a packed house! MBYC would like to thank the sponsors and all of the racers.

Not about sleep, but a lot about snacks, plus a big dose of nature. It usually isn’t about sailing 100 miles. Let’s face it, 100 miles in 40 hours in August in the San Juan Islands in a 27' sailboat is nearly impossible. I have tried six times, and only made it twice! Now, if we had the race on the traditional weekend this year, it would have hit the big August storm and we may have quit for other reasons! I have enjoyed the years I didn’t make it just as much as the years I finished. This year, one boat made it the whole way and lots of boats made the short course finish. We were determined to stick it out until the time limit. We were Team#2legit2quit. Double handed boats went first at 7:30 pm, in a fading northwesterly. The Marstrom 32, Miller Racing, took off and flew a hull in all of maybe 5 knots, and Randy Miller and Colin Dunphy left us in their wake. Mick Corcoran’s Blackfoot led the ill-conceived charge of “alternate ro u t e ” r a c e r s u p t h e G u e m e s Channel. My son Dylan joined me for his first N100 and drove the Rumpus for the sunset hour while I snapped photos and sang along to the stereo. The Fully Crewed boats got off the line at 7:40 and with the fading breeze they spent more time than usual catching up to us. 48 Among the outcomes of the N100 is a good chance of learning something new about the San Juan Islands. Usually I get an opportunity to discover where to find the rocks, kelp, reefs, and shallow areas of the islands - places I would avoid in the daytime tend to magnetically draw me in during the night watch. This year was no exception. Add the north shore of Sinclair Island to the list of places you don’t want to visit in the dark. Oddly enough, nobody else was moving, so I was able to convince myself for at least an hour that things were just fine. As dark gave way to light, it was hard to miss the fact that I was just barely aground. If running into trouble on the first night is traditionally the low point of my race, the sail to and from Point Roberts in open water is often the high point. Once off the beach in the morning, we were in a position that Stuart Walker calls “the land of opportunity.” All of our close competitors were in front of us! Right in our sights! We enjoyed a nice kite duel with Bingo while heating up our breakfast Hot Pockets, and slowly but surely weaseled our way back through the little boat fleet. It took us nearly the whole leg to catch Wayne Foulds’ LightCure. Miller Racing was long gone, and Time Bandit, Kahuna, HiJinx and Hinzite were battling it out just close enough on the horizon that you were tempted to try to figure out what was October 2015 www.48North.com happening up there. We spent hours on port tack… first with the kite, then the drifter, and eventually the #1. Dylan and I had plenty of bonding time, and a chance for some creative self-steering experiments. Finally, we were on the layline and tacked! Hooray! Just a few boat lengths until we get a new view! Oops, missed it, had to tack two more times and then launched the A-kite for a great ride all the way to Patos Island for the short course finish. Now, a sane person would probably call it quits after making it to the short course finish. But we aren’t sane, we were #2legit2quit, so on we went. Soon enough, the sun was setting on our second night. Near Waldron Island, where it turns out we were destined to spend the rest of our race, we were serenaded by some of the strangest bird noises. Flocks of chatty birds in all different directions seemed to be carrying on conversation. Even as the birds flew off and the sun went down, the sea lions came out to party like a bad fraternity house on the rocks of Waldron. Plan R was in the neighborhood, barbecuing their dinner, and offered us drinks on their way back to Anacortes after the sunset. Some brave sea lions swam over to the boat in the dark, and you could see them swim toward you in the phosphorescent water, then hear them pop up right next to you! Being a scaredy cat, I drove the boat standing up for the rest of the night. I was waiting for the ebb to push me out to the Straits where hopefully the wind might fill in… By the early morning hours, the fleet was narrowed down to a few hardy souls. Jeff Hulme’s Off Constantly was making good progress on the outside, Lil Toonses had just called it off, and Clint Tseng’s Amorillo was moving nicely along the beach on the inside. Bingo wisely anchored and watched movies, on Rumpus I drank instant coffee, ate goldfish crackers, and drifted in big looping circles through the night. Up ahead, out in the Straits, Vertigo, Bob, Keet, Sunshine Girl and Blackwatch all made it around Hein photo by Libbie Allenbrand Bank and were headed for the final run to the finish. When the sun came up, so did thousands of little fish popping up like raindrops on the water as far as you could see. Also as the sun came out, so did my outboard. I called in my retirement, and tried the outboard. Then woke up my co-captain, re-tried the outboard, and we paddled. Miller Racing had just finished the race, and others were out in the straits, meanwhile we were drifting toward Canada. And then on the horizon was Betsy Wareham, our good friend on her way to rescue us. Surely if we were left to our own defenses we would have spent the next night in the Canadian wilderness. It was all awesome, and Dylan will have a lot to report about “How I spent my Summer Vacation.” Plus, we had a great recovery and pulled out a first in our division on the short course finish. Thank you to the boats who came out to race, especially the ones who travelled a long way to get there. Thank you to the volunteers who made the event happen, especially to Sean Kelley and Jan Chapman who spent two nights on their boat manning the finish line and race phone.

While enjoying said beer I saw a shirt from previous years that read, “It doesn’t suck if it doesn’t blow.” Allow me to present PITCH 2015 as evidence in distinct opposition to this statement with one word: Wind. In fact, the more appropriate statement for this year ’s Labor Day weekend event could be rearranged to read, “It doesn’t suck if it does blow” Not too much, not too little, just right – a Goldilocks breeze which cahracterized the day Saturday, sending sailors to the famous (or infamous?) PITCH party as satisfied regatta customers. As the first round the cans event for many sailors since Whidbey Island Race Week, in itself still carrying fond memories of breeze during a Pacific Northwest summer, it was all smiles enjoying race after race before getting wet boats into the barn and into dry clothes. Great food, bartenders on point, and the usual storytelling from the day before getting ready to do it again... well, almost. Sunday started somewhat dismally, with a dock postponement, some rain (gasp!), not a lick of breeze, and a lineup at the coffee shop about three miles long. Trust me. I waited. Twice. Lo and behold however, the flag came down as the bay filled in for two, and for some classes three, entire races Sunday afternoon while still allowing for a decent amount of time to get packed up and headed home – win win. With lower attendance than usual this year, with a sentiment floating around about the late Labor Day and generally weird calendar year throwing a few folks off, it’s safe to say anyone at this year ’s event, or who spent 30 seconds with anyone who was, won’t be missing it next year. So come for the race and stay for the party! And if we’re lucky, we’ll get another weekend that quite frankly, couldn’t have gone better. by Ashley Bell results: www.byc.org photos by Jan Anderson 50 October 2015 www.48North.com Classified Classified Classified Classifieds Plan !

Their smart design, with a well behaved and easily driven hull, combine solid construction, performance and an elegant hand crafted interior. They have it all – easy access to systems, excellent storage capacity above and below decks and large tankage numbers at 200 gallons of water and 180 gallons of fuel. The Outbound 46 Mazu is aptly named for the Chinese “Goddess of the Sea.” Marine folklore is filled with tales of catastrophes averted when the goddess appeared to warn of unseen storms or arrived just in time and calmed a storm to save sailors’ lives. Outbound 46’s do not come on the used market often and Mazu is the best yet. You won’t find a better equipped Outbound 46. Swiftsure Yachts sold her to her one owner and no expense was spared equipping her. Having just returned from a South Pacific cruise, her meticulous owner has made sure that she is 100% ready to go again.
