A few days ago we were sailing
around in my little catamaran,
maybe a mile from the breakwall,
having a great time. With just the
jib up, we were putting aroundin six or seven-knots of breeze
watching where some Pelicans
and a bunch of other birds were
diving thinking that dolphin
would probably be around next.
Sure enough, dozens of common
dolphin were soon jumping
around, munching on baitfish
and taking breaks to swim
in our bow wake. My dog
Mookie was going hoarse from
barking at them and we were allhaving a blast taking pictures
and watching these incredible
animals put on a show.
They would come and go in
perfect intervals. We would
wonder if they were gone and
suddenly a pack of them would
head right towards us and the fun
would start again. Ill never get
tired of seeing dolphin.
Its funny how things can
change though. As I ran to the
bow, jockeying for perfect photo
position I stepped in a pile of dog
poop. In Mookies excitement
he apparently crapped standing
like a horse. I wasnt mad at
him, but it just sucks stepping in
dood while youre having a good
time.
I grabbed a paper-towel to
push it overboard and I stuckmy thumb in it. I could swear
I heard dolphin laughter. Now
I have brown on my feet and
hands, dolphins mocking me,
Mookie barking like a lunatic,
an expensive camera hanging
from my neck things were so
different, and in a momen
time.
Wanna raise the main and s
around for bit? I asked girlfriend, trying to move on.
Okay, she said.
Right before I went to unroll
sail, Mookie walked over a
began to urinate on it. We look
at each other as the sound of p
bouncing off Dacron filled
air. He had a casual look on
face like the thoughtless f
you make when youre going
the bathroom. I had the look
disappointment.
Moral? Life is rarely perf
and walk your dog before a lo
trip

The nations largest boat owners group, BoatUS, hand delivered over
15,000 comments from concerned boaters, sailors and anglers to the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today asking the agency to
protect the future reliability of GPS (Global Positioning System) across
the United States. The agency is currently considering a request from a
private company, LightSquared, to build up to 40,000 ground stations for
a new nationwide broadband wireless telephone network, which, tests
have shown, could cause significant interference with most GPS signals.
At issue is LightSquareds proposed use of radio frequency bandwidth
adjacent to frequencies that are used by the relatively weak GPS signal. A
recent report to the FCC said, all phases of the LightSquared deployment
plan will result in widespread harmful interference to GPS signals
and service and that mitigation is not possible. In an unusual move, a
conditional waiver was granted in January by the FCC to LightSquared
to permit the dramatic expansion of land-based use of mobile satellite
spectrum, subject to spring testing and public comments.
We hope these 15,000 comments indicate to the FCC the critical need
of having a reliable navigation system, not just for boaters and anglers,
but for pilots, drivers, outdoor adventurers, and first responders. It is
unimaginable that the federal government - the guardian of the bandwidth
- would consider approving a proposal with so many problems and grave
public safety consequences, said BoatUS Vice President of Governm
Affairs Margaret Podlich.
An unusually short 30-day public comment period on the FCC permit en
Saturday, July 30. BoatUS is urging citizens around the country to sh
their views by going to www.BoatUS.com/gov to send their comments
the FCC.
After losing their only other viable navigation system (LORAN) l
year after the Department of Homeland Security shut the system dow
boaters now solely rely on GPS for electronic navigation. The US Co
Guards emergency search and rescue system, Rescue 21, now uses G
to locate stricken vessels on over 36,985 miles of coastline. Mariners a
rely on GPS-enabled communications with DSC VHF radios to prov
location information, as do 406MHz Emergency Position Indicating Ra
Beacons (EPIRBs) and Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) for mayday a
man-overboard situations, respectively.
BoatUS is a member of the Coalition to Save Our GPS, which works
resolve this serious threat to the GPS system.

Ma n Plea ds Guilty to Ac ts of Pirac y Involving Loc a l Coup le
An 11th pirate linked to the deaths of four Americansincluding Del Rey Yacht Club members Jean and Scott Adampleaded guilty last month to a
of piracy, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
Mounir Ali, a 23-year-old from Yemen, submitted his plea in a Norfolk federal court. U.S. District Judge Mark S. Davis accepted the plea of acts
piracy against the S/V Quest, the boat on which the Americans were traveling.
Along with his plea, Ali, a.k.a Muner Ali, said he and four other Yemenis were part of the crew aboard the boat pirated by Somalis. Ali also admit
that, when the Somalis were capturing the S/V Quest, he joined them with the intention of obtaining part of the ransom money.
However, Ali said he did not shoot any of the four Americans or tell anyone else to do so.
Ten other pirates, all Somalis, also have pleaded guilty to the act of piracy. Authorities previously said the 15 men taken into custody would
imprisoned for life if they were to be found guilty of the piracy charge. Ali is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 21. It was not immediately known if
would receive a lighter sentence for pleading guilty.
Mounir Ali admitted today that his greed for ransom money ultimately led to the cold-blooded murder of the four U.S. hostages, U.S. Attorney N
H. MacBride said in a statement. This latest guilty plea again shows that modern piracy is far different than the romantic portrayal in summertimmovies. Pirates who attack on U.S. citizens on the high seas will face justice in a U.S. courtroom.
Todays plea brings us one step closer to the resolution of the Quests hijacking and the brutal killing of four Americans, said Janice K. Fedarcyk, w
is assistant director in charge for the FBIs New York Field Office, in a statement. Armed with [rocket-propelled grenades] and automatic weapo
Ali willingly participated in this premeditated attack to pirate the Quest, in a vain attempt for ransom.

ith all the interest in the ongoing redevelopment debate
for Marina del Rey I have been following, these thoughts
came to me as I was out one fine sunny day in my Boston
Whaler cruising the basins and byways that make up ourfabulous community and I would like to share them with
the readers at large and the Powers that Be in L.A. County.
Now Im sure I may be ruffling some feathers by proffering my humble
opinion on this ongoing and often vocal debate going on how our
beloved Marina del Rey should be redeveloped, but a little about me. I
moved here from the east coast 12 years ago and have been a Marina del
Rey resident since day 1. I have lived aboard for 11 years and my Whaler
gets more mileage racked up on it than my car. Quite frankly, there is no
better place to live in all of Los Angeles. It pains me to hear about the
good old days of the 1960s and 1970s when Marina del Rey was a hot
spot to visit with its myriad of nightclubs, bars and restaurants that one
could choose from. Im sure some of you readers remember fondly.
An astute observer can still see
vestiges of what once was. One
can still see the shuttered Pier
View Restaurant at Neptune
Marina on Marquesas Way, the
circular roof of the old Don
The Beachcomber, the faded
ALOHA sign still visible above
the entrance door at the Marina del
Rey Hotel. But I digress
As I cruised by the old dilapidatedfuel dock by Fishermans Village,
I have to ask, why is this not
repurposed into the ferry terminal
for the Catalina Marina del Rey
Flyer? On the shore side of the
docks, we could make a stop for the Marina Water Bus and a dinghy
dock for boaters wanting to stop off at the new Fishermans Village. Its
really a shame that there is no water access via private boat to Fishermans
Village. A redeveloped Fishermans Village could form the basis of a
revitalized downtown for Marina del Rey. Once when tying up there
for lunch, I was told that the public docks for it was Burton Chace Park.
Huh? In other marinas and areas of the country, this is not the case. I have
observed in Florida and even Newport Beach there are Dock & Din
establishments where you can tie up after a day on the water and g
a bite. Heck, in Alamitos Bay, you can even pull up behind the Ralp
shopping center by boat and do all your shopping, take in a movie agrab something to eat without ever stepping into a car! Imagine Waters
Shopping Center with docks. Why cant we have that here? I wo
suggest that Fishermans village should be designed as a downtown fo
point of the Marina, with a nautical feel that represents its commun
and not some cookie cutter neo-Spanish Colonial mall that is so popu
today. There should also be part of it devoted to boating, Stand Up Pad
boarding and other water activities. I cite the revitalized Shoreline Vill
area of Long Beach as an example.
I would also propose the county add dinghy docks at the end of F ba
along the bulkhead behind the library and public parking lot. Im su
the Warehouse owners would welcome it. This could be a water b
stop and it makes sense because public parking is onsite. While we at it, why not have one at the e
of B basin along that bulkhead
well. The old Sea Scout base in
Basin would make for a really n
restaurant/nightclub with ple
of boater parking already the
Its a lot more appropriate th
having County offices. Beca
of its location, the noise would
be much of a bother because th
are no apartments nearby. I kn
it may not happen but its jus

I lament the closing of
Waterfront Restaurant / Orga
Panificio Caf. They had a do
in the beginning before it w
closed off and docking forbidden there. I was told they closed the do
because of insurance liability. Come on. Im sure an arrangement co
have been made to allow the water shuttle to make a stop there and ha
it under their insurance. They had a great spot and some really good l
music upstairs. For a while I thought it would catch on and we wo
see a renaissance of Marina night life, but to no avail. Across the str

Thoughts on the Marina del Rey Redevelopment

Jamaica Bay Inn. It holds promise
to be a new nightspot. You should
stop in and check it out. I saw the
plan to redevelop Mothers Beach.
While I cant agree with the overall
plan, I did like the inclusion of dock
fingers extending out with transient
spaces for us boaters. That could
have served VUE, The Cheescake
Factory and Glow at the Marriott!
Lets face it folks, its the 21st
century and redevelopment is
inevitable. Im all for it. What Im
not for is the cramming of as many
apartments as possible to squeezeevery last dollar out of this place
we call home. Conversely, its not 1964 anymore. When these original
buildings were put up, cars still had tailfins. We hadnt even landed on the
moon, there was no such thing as the internet as we know it and a small
conflict was brewing in a tiny Southeast Asian country called Vietnam.
Times change and so should we.
Heres how I propose to go about it that would appeal to both sides of the
arguement:
I would make as a condition of redevelopment that a percentage of the
development be devoted to retail / dining / entertainment. A percentage
of dock space devoted
transient/dinghy park
should be required for th
places. We talk about eas
traffic congestion on
roads here; well one way
do that is to make it easier
get around without having
resort to getting in our c
in the first place. I appla
the new Del Rey Land
with its convenience store
the water. They have a gr
selection of beverages a
even have a cigar humidor
you are out cruising arouyou can stop in for a sandw
and refreshment all without stepping foot on land.
Landside, they have a space that would make a great caf / coffesho
winebar or deli.
I only seem to hear the debate as a black or white issue. Marina del R
SHOULD be redeveloped, but a compromise needs to be reached as to h
best to go about it. The County needs to listen to the input of the boat
and residences of Marina del Rey, and those opposing redevelopm
need to come to a compromise on how it needs to be done.

The 2011 Laser Nationals held at CYC during the first weekend of August was an event that brought sailors from all over the United States and parts
Mexico and Canada. Sailing in this event has shown me where I stand and how much I need to improve my skills as a sailor. Leading up to the ev
was where I had learned the most about myself and what I enjoy most as a sailor on the water.
May 18th, 2011, I flew from Honolulu, Hawaii to Los Angeles, California. Right away I wanted to begin practicing for the Nationals. After a few pho
calls, I gathered a couple of friends to race on the UCLA Sunset series in the main channel of Marina del Rey. Tucker Stasser, Terence Gallagh
Nathan Jamieson, Nicolas Weis, Chris Weis and Gregory Dair all joined in on the Friday races and the Nationals. After, a good day of work at the Jun
Sailing Program at DRYC, I would meet up with my friends out in the ocean to have a good practice. Training for this event was hard, but worth
Unfortunately, the event was what we predicted, a light breeze.
The day before the event was measurement. After a night of sail measurement, day one of the four-day event began. The first day was forecast to b
steady 7-9 knots with a slight chance of fog. Wrong! The fog had rolled in the night before and decided to stay there the whole day. The race commit
planned to do three races. So much for that plan, we only pulled off two races. The first race finally cleared up enough to see the other end of the lin
We began to race. Out of nowhere the fog rolled back in. Where are we going? Is that lay-line to the mark? After the race committee could barely
the mark from the windward mark set boat, they decided to call it off. The fog cleared for the remainder of the day. The next two races were light a
plenty of wind-chop to go around. We all sailed back in and de-rigged our boats.
Day two of the event was the same, but we had to make up for the first day of racing. We had four races that day. The majority of the day was lig
Nothing too interesting that day, but fog was still lingering along the coast of Malibu.
Day three was the best of all the race days so far. Winds were up to 14-knots with a small chop combined with 2-3 foot swell. Finally, I could hike on the boat and really show what real Laser sailing is all about. Although, I was one of the few actually hiking out, because I am not at the standa
weight for the Laser full rig/standard rig, I had a blast.
The courses are an upwind leg, reach, downwind, upwind, downwind, reach and an upwind finish. The Radial and full rig had similar courses. T
reaches in the fresher breeze were quite the ride. The Laser picks up onto a plane after a few pumps of the sail and surfs the waves like no oth
Unfortunately, the race committee didnt run more races that day. I wanted to keep hiking out on the Laser, too bad.
The last day was the choppiest and lightest. We only had two races that day. Unfortunately, on one of the starts I broke my tiller extension, but sai
the whole race with it broken. Rounding marks was ridiculously funny to watch.
Other than a few light wind races, the regatta was one of the best events this summer. There were 100 boats, 36 full rigs and 64 radial rigs. Del R
Yacht Club, of which I am a member, had the most boats on the water out of any yacht club.

T H E B L U E SBlue Whales are around this area but this precious species are still scarce world-wide
Photos Pat Reynolds
Some places in the world provide inherent privilege. Buffalo New York
residents can take a short drive or a bike ride to see some of the most
powerful waterfalls on earth at Niagra Falls; if you live in Flagstaff
Arizona, the Grand Canyon is there for the taking; for us, the largest
animal on earth, an endangered species, swims in our local waters. Andthis time of year, its more than possible to get a glimpse of blue whales as
they struggle to elude extinction.
Most people will live their lives and never get the chance to see a blue
whale in its natural environment. Until recently a sighting of this, the
largest animal thats ever lived, was rare south of the Channel Islands.
And even in that area, it was no guarantee to see one. But in the past three
or four years, in late summer, from Palos Verdes on down to Dana Point,
sightings have become more regular.
These are special waters considering that reports indicate there are
probably less than 14,000 individuals alive worldwide. These numbers
are particularly disappointing since there was a time, in the not so distant
past, when there were hundreds of thousands. The development of the
harpoon canon and a strong market for lamp oil combined to nearly rid the
earth of an animal that holds the distinction of being not only the largest
on the planet but to ever exist. This area, the Eastern North Pacific, holds
the largest remaining blue whale population on earth.
Back in 2007 blues started being seen in locations where they usually
didnt venture. That year there were many sightings off the coast of Long
Beach, San Pedro and Palos Verdes. The news of these observations were
followed later, unfortunately, by four reports of blue whale deaths, due
to collisions with large ships. A reminder of the danger that exists for the
fragile breed.
Marine biologists attribute the change in location to simply follow
their food source. Blues eat a small crustacean called krill and to ke
a 200-ton body topped off it takes quite a bit of krill. And maybe i
this reason, in addition to their incredible physical stature and rarity, tmakes witnessing them particularly interesting theyre feeding, and
somehow compelling watching animals feed.
I once saw a whole group of about 10 or 12 blues that were feeding
shallow water which Id never seen before, said whale watching Capt
Jason Wright describing a scene where blue whales were in 200-300 f
of water off the coast of Manhattan Beach ordinarily the whales pre
no less than 900-feet of depth.
They were surface feeding on krill and behaving unusually, said Wri
who has seen countless whales serving as a tour guide for years. Norma
theyre very calm, slow, methodical they come up, they breath th
do their thing and dive down slowly. But this group I saw were surfa
feeding with their mouths wide open on the surface and swimm
extremely fast. They looked like submarines coming out of the water
was unbelievable.
Compared to other whale species, there is relatively little known ab
blue whales. John Calambokidis from the Cascadia Research Collect
in Washington is one of the premier researchers of the blues and th
have been studying the animals this area for many years. There has be
tagging work done, sonar studies and research conducted to understa
where the whales travel once they leave these waters. Its believed tha
some point, the whales head south for the waters of Costa Rica.
8/4/2019 Mariner 103.indd
15/282011 The Mariner -Issue 103
With photographic identification we were able to quickly see that
in fact, California blue whales were showing up there in winter, said
Calambokidis
And while he is pleased to verify that many of the California population
rear their heads in the waters of Costa Rica, there is still an enormous
amount of information that remains unverified about these gigantic
mammals. They are unclear how and where they breed although theres
hope that the Costa Rica grounds will bring forth more answers in the
coming years.
But while they are here in our waters researchers and conservationists
have mixed feelings about the well-being of the whales. Publicity and
attention for an animal that is fighting to survive is obviously good, but
there is great concern for the individuals themselves.
Ive seen a couple of guys on jet-skis actually trying to jump the whales,
Wright said regarding the ignorance hes witnessed while running his
trips.
Boaters need to have maximum respect for these animals and not go
close at all, said marine biologist Dr. Maddalena Bearzi, founder of theOcean Conservation Society in Marina del Rey. Theyre an endangered
species and big enough where they can be observed from a distance. Dont
approach them. You dont know the affect you have when you go close to
them. And you also dont know where they may surface.

C a t a l i n a C U R R E N T S
By Captain Richard Schaefer
KIDDINGAROUND
ver the years Ive taken many groups
of children out whale watching, to
Catalina, day sailing and for sailing
instruction. These experiences have allowed me
to make many observations and come to a few
conclusions.
First, the earlier the child gets on the water the
better. A young child has a certain awe and
wonder of the water. If nurtured it tends to
grow and flourish. By the time kids are in their
teens theyve had their senses numbed by all thescreens, buttons and wires in their lives. It takes
intense stimulation to wean them away from
techno-land. Unfortunately, the attractions of
sailing are rather quiet and subtle - requiring skills
taking time, interest and patience to acquire. For
most young people, over 13, anything less heart
pounding than tubing or skiing behind a jet boat
is considered rather ho-hum.
Another important ingredient is a close bond
between child and parent. In my experience Ive
found that public school kids are usually rather
jaded and too hip and cool to care by 12 or
13.
On the other hand, Ive noticed that most
children who are home schooled have a deeper
relationship and respect for their parents. These
kids seem bright and interested boating, and life
in general. They actually enjoy being with their
parents and other adults, and are usually eager
to try new experiences without preconceived
notions and negativity.
But regardless of your familys particular
circumstances, allow a father and an old sailor to
make a few suggestions, and perhaps learn from
my experiences - all the while remembering that
all experience (especially mine) is largely
made up of mistakes and even outright blunders
- it aint all sunshine and rainbows.
Note: At first I planned on writing two lists,
making each one age appropriate. But, as
anyone with children knows, there is much
transitional overlapping in age groups, andmany kids who enjoy things that arent always,
age appropriate. For instance, my 18 year old
still loves collecting seashells and beach glass....
We do it together, and I love him for it.
1. If youre not already an experienced sailor
or power boater - take lessons - they will help
you (and perhaps your spouse) to be more
comfortable and secure aboard a boat. Believe
me, even a young child can sense when Mommy
or Daddy dont know what theyre doing. Even
usually calm and soft spoken parents can
become ranting Captain Blighs when things
get a little dicey or uncomfortable. Knowledge
and experience smooths out the rough spots and
makes the new experience much more enjoyable
for all - not to mention, safer.
2. If the children are young, maybe watch a
few sailing movies like, The Crimson Pirate,
Treasure Island or Master and Commander.
Steer clear offilms like Dead Calm or White
Squall. If you dont, the little ones are likely to
go to bed clutching a flare gun and a lifejacket
instead of their teddy bear.
3. After the family is comfortable sailing
boating together invite your childrens frien
along. Kids love sharing the adventure a
showing their friends the ropes aboard ship
at the island.
4. If your kids are older, and are alrea
swimmers, divers, or fishermen then a boat
a natural extension of those pursuits. Equip
for these activities and dont mind when a lisand or fish bait gets on the deck - but do ma
them clean up for themselves.
5. Do more than just day sail up to Sa
Monica Pier and back. Kids dont usually
into the kick back and relax thing. Polish yo
skills and go over to the island, or do some lo
racing if your kids are old enough. A tight ra
- even in 12 knots of wind - is exciting for m
young people - and even for us old salty dog
6. Dont spend too much time on the wate
first. Keep your sails under two hours and
to work in an appropriate shore side activ
afterward; a walk on the beach or pier, a
lunch, or maybe a concert in the park.
7. Make a game out of learning the langu
of boating. The colorful vocabulary
seamanship has evolved over centuries int
very precise and concise language with wh
to communicate commands on board. Noth
irritates me more than to sail with a bunch
people, who should know better, prattle ab
O

C a t a l i n a C U R R E N T S
pulling that rope, steering to the right, using
the bathroom or going up to the front of the
boat. Makes my flesh crawl just writing about it.
8. Take lots of photos and start a boating album.
Yes, that means actually getting hard copies
from your digital camera.
9. Add dimension to the experience with kayaks,
snorkeling and fishing gear, and a good dinghy.
10. BBQ at the island or at the dock. If the kidshave caught fresh fish, all the better.
11. Try and plan your island trip on weekends
when there are fun events at the island; tours at
USC Marine Lab at Big Fisherman Cove, nature
hikes, a fun band at the West End or the Casino (I
just missed Dick Dale, and that pissed me off), a
good movie at the Casino (almost any movie looks
good in the Casino), or a dinghy or kayak race.
12. If you and your crew are experienced enough,
a night passage to the island can add a new
dimension to the familys cruising experience. Be
sure to take extra safety measures for the crew.
13. If your at the island, and the sky is clear, let
the kids sleep under the stars. In a dark cove youll
see the heavens like never before - shooting stars,
guaranteed...maybe even UFOs and aliens.
14. Simply trolling a line is a simple way to add a
little excitement to a sail for kids - locally or at the
island. Sadly, the implementation of the MPAs
(Marine Protected Areas) make this kind offishing
a little more risky. These new regulations make
casual kid fishing a thing of the past. Parents
will need to stay current regarding closed areas and
regulations - unfortunately, many will just think
it too much trouble and risk to allow their young
children to fish. The unintended consequences of
poorly thought out regulation are many.
15. Slowly introduce, age appropriate,
maintenance chores to the children. By the time
my kids were 10 they were handling nearly all the
preparation before, and cleanup after a cruise ora sail. Being a generally lazy person myself, this
worked out well in my case. Besides, it leaves me
a lot of time for all the necessary masterminding
a captain has to do - like selecting the right bait or
beer for the particular occasion at hand.
16. When the familys at the island, spend time
with the kids fishing, beach combing, snorkeling,
kayaking, or just sitting on the beach, digging
your toes into the sand and sharing thoughts, and
the moment, with your children. Take it from me,
those soft, golden vignettes of life dont come
along often enough, or last that long....Its all gone
in a wink and a whisper.

P O W E R TA I L S
CATCHIN CUDA
ith the fishing season in full swing and a number of different
targets to choose from including pelagics, lots of folks are
still going after the nimble, athletic barracuda that providesa guaranteed challenge once hooked. With a mouthful of
sharp teeth and powerful sleek body, this fish gets the blood pumping and
theyre out there. Last week the new Del Mar in Marina del Rey counted
75 barracudas one quiet Monday evening. Most believe afternoon and
evening is the best time for success with this species.
They start showing up in the spring with the warmer temperature and
by summer, theyre here, in schools chasing around baitfish. Theyre top
feeders that are usually around 5-10 pounds but the largest recorded was
4-feet long and 18-pounds. One thing to keep in mind is these guys have
sharp teeth and will bite through mono when using a straight mono to
hook connection. Its best to use iron jigs.
The folks at Newport Landing say:
A lead head can also work well with the longer shank benefits of landing
more fish while still presenting the bait in a natural manner. Barracuda
become more sluggish in feeding and the balance between waiting long
enough for them to have taken the bait and too long resulting in a bite off
is challenging.
Heres some tips/experiences from some of the local forums for targeting
cuda:
My current theory on jigs and barracuda is to use either double or single
hooks...of course my favorite jig still has triple hooks.
We had 50# braid with a 20# flouro leader. After several caught aseveral landed and several breakoffs, we were using straight 50# brai
they are not line shy. They were even cutting through the braid!
I like circle hooks, but you got to let them run awhile. I also like 12# l
for them, but not always recommended. Dont forget safety. Cudas usua
means lots of jigs going out, which means hooks flying.
Dont forget your steel leaders if you intend on using live bait..or y
could have a frustrating trip.
You can use live bait - usually anchovies. Other baits can be used l
green mackerel and sardines but they are difficult to obtain and norma
too large for hook bait.
When fishing for skinnies remember California law mandates t
California or Pacific Barracuda must be thrown back if they are under
inches long. Also some may not know that its best not to touch barracu
According to fishermen George Van Zant, your hands transmit a termi
skin disease to released fish. Its better to cut your line rather than try
remove the hook. Hooks and steel leaders quickly corrode.
If you decide not to release your catch, lots of people enjoy the taste
these fish, but its recommended that they are gutted and iced quickly
the prone to spoiling fast.

Looks like we are going to fire upsome good fishing in the up andcoming month. Around the Bay, whenthe squid is around, were seeinggood numbers of white seabass. Mostboats have been focusing on rockfish,sandbass, calicos, sheephead andsome really nice halibut have beenreported.
Having both squid and fin bait hasmade fishing better just because wecan switch over if one is not working.
On the bait scene Larry and Mikeof Inseine Baits have been working
overtime to bring in both sardines andanchovies in addition to the squid.
Water temps are now rising to the70s and the Islands are producingyellowtail and calicos of late.
White seabass are still being caughtaround the backside of Catalina, at theeast end at the Vees.
I know a few marlin have been caughtand released and the stick-boats havebrought in some swordfish.
The San Diego fleet is picking upmomentum with both bluefin andyellowfin being caught within a dayand a halfs range.

Light to moderate breezes
predominated on Santa Monica Bay
for the 2011 U.S. Laser and Laser
Radial Nationals hosted by CYC
on August 4th to 7th. With a steady
breeze direction and a light chop,
conservative fleet management and
boat speed were the keys to success
for the winners in both fleets. Guest
Principal race Officer, Mark Townsend from ABYC, with the expert help
of CYCs contingent of seasoned race committee members managed the
course and conditions exceptionally well to ensure that both classes got
their maximum allotment of 12 races.
In the Laser Class, Charlie Buckingham from Newport Harbor Yacht Club
was never out of the top 10 but was pushed hard by second place finisher
Derek Vranizan from Seattle Yacht Club with whom he had a see-saw
battle in the standings. Their final duel came in the twelfth and last race
of the series when they went head to head with the Championship on the
line. With two points separating them, it was Buckingham who eked out
a narrow lead to round the first weather mark with Vranizan on his stern.
Splitting gybes going down the run Vranizan almost passed but just couldnt
break the overlap and lost the battle for the favored inside position at the

On a whim 37 years ago, I bought myfirst sailboat, a 26 trailerable. At the
time I had little knowledge of sailing or
sailboats. I lived in Las Vegas then, with
the boat on Lake Meade and a very good
friend and expert yachtsman in Marina
del Rey.
Old timers in MDR will remember Hank
McGill, who was my mentor and good
friend. He said that the way to learn how
to sail was to race. If I was to spend my
time just sailing around, that would be the limit of my skills, but if I was
to compete with others, I would have a measure for my performance in
addition to having the examples and community around to accelerate my
learning.
Hank was right, and I have had a lifetime of pleasure and satisfaction
because I listened to him.
The Association of Santa Monica Bay Yacht Clubss Home Port Regatta on
Saturday, Nov. 5 is specifically designto give basic skills and a reward
racing experience to new racing sailo
And as a example of how much the rac
community values new recruits, all thi
for free!
On Thurs. Oct. 27 and Wed.. Nov. 2, th
will be two free seminars covering m
of the information a skipper and cr
need to get started and be ready for
Nov. 5 regatta. There are also a num
of experienced racers who have volunteered to mentor the new racers
the water so that they may race more safely and perform more effectiv
Watch for more information in these pages about how to hook up w
your very own mentor to help prepare you and your crew.
While the race is still more than a couple of months away, for those w
are new to the sport, now is a good time to begin thinking about it a
preparing to come out and do some racing.

L o c a l K N O W L E D G E
The Marina del Rey Racing Marks are a group of buoys anchored
southwest of the harbor entrance. Called Spar Buoys, theyhave a 6-8
tall mast or spar painted a bright yellow so that they may be seen more
easily from a distance.
TheseSpar Buoys are arrayed in such a way that they can be used as
turning marks to form a variety of different race courses (the Marina del
Rey Course Chart #16 is online at ). Having many options permits the race
organizers, called the Race Committee or R/C
for short, to choose a route of appropriate length
and orientation to the wind for the type of boats
racing.
Generally the R/C establishes a starting line
that is perpendicular to the wind, with the first
leg sailed more or less directly into the wind,
requiring the sailboats to tack back and forth
to get to the Weather Mark.
Our Racing Marks make it easy for the R/C boat
to anchor adjacent to one of the marks (usually
S Mark or SS Mark), and then pick a Weather Mark that will be
the right distance away so that it can be sailed in 15-30 minutes, more or
less. Should the wind change strength or direction, different marks can be
used for subsequent races. If there is a substantial wind change during a
race, the R/C may select a different mark for the next buoy in the course aslong as none of the boats have yet rounded the previous mark.
Most of these buoys have been home made by various yacht club
volunteers, with considerable investment in both time and materials. As
they must remain in position during all weather, they have substantial
ground tackle, or anchoring system, which is also expensive. These costs
are proportioned between the various member clubs of The Association of
Santa Monica Bay Yacht Clubs -- for short.
Occasionally one or more of these marks is damaged by collision
is overwhelmed by heavy marine growth. The Buoy Chairman tru
appreciates early reports of a damaged or low floating mark so that it m
be salvaged and repaired rather than being expensively replaced. Robe
Cordero is the present buoy chairman, and he may be contacted throu
Del Rey Yacht Club.
Even though the buoys are there for the rac
sailors, they have lots of value for the gene
boater.
Returning from Catalina on a fogged-in d
with no radar or satellite navigation, you c
sail toward the sounds of LAX until your desounder reads ten fathoms (60 feet), turn
and you will be within a couple of miles of
racing marks. If you have a course chart #
onboard, you can know your precise posit
from the identify of whichever buoy you fi
encounter.
You can also use them as a reference for M
Over Board drill, or use them for practice race starts, learning to cont
speed and judge distance through repeated trial and error. You can usua
rely on their position being accurate enough that you can check or pract
taking compass sights for position calculation.
And you can utilize your knowledge of these Racing Marks and the ty
of courses raced to both enjoy a good view of the many races in progre
and to know where you might avoid interfering with the boats when th
are more densely packed when starting or rounding turning marks.
These Racing Marks are valuable and expensive, so use and preser
them.

ASK THE EXPERT
Captain Joel EveCruising to Channel Islands
The Channel Islands, just off the Southern
California coastline between Santa Barbara
and Los Angeles harbors, are among the most
picturesque islands to be found on the West
Coast. Although nearby Catalina is far more
popular for boats departing the Marina, the
northern Channel Islands offer so much to see
both above and below the water.
Captain Eve, would you tell us which of our
offshore islands make up the Channel Islands
chain and how far are they off the coast?
Eve: There are actually eight channel islands
starting with San Miguel on the northern most
end of the chain followed by Santa Rosa, Santa
Cruz, Anacapa, San Nicolas, Santa Barbara
Island, Catalina, and San Clemente Island, on
the southern most end of the island chain. When
we speak of cruising to the Channel Islands,
most mariners are referring to the four northern
islands. From Marina del Rey, Anacapa Islandis about forty five nautical miles. However, if
you begin your crossing from Channel Islands
Harbor just north of Point Mugu, then Anacapa
is an easy twelve- mile trip.
Given the distances, what route would you
recommend for boaters who have never been
to the Channel Islands from the Marina?
Eve: If time is not an issue or you desire a more
scenic route following the coast, then I would
recommend heading west from the breakwater
to Pt. Dume (about 18 miles). Then sail or power
a course to about 2 miles abeam of Pt. Mugu(about 17 miles). Then sail a course to Channel
Islands Harbor (about 7 miles, for a total
distance of about 42 miles). This is a leisurely
route up the coast, and you are never more than
a few miles from land which may give you some
extra comfort. On this three-waypoint trip you
also have the advantage of sailing landward
of the Northbound and Southbound Traffic
Separation Scheme which will keep you clear
of large commercial vessels. After spending
a restful night in Channel Islands Harbor, you
can depart directly for Anacapa, a short 12- mile
voyage. Just remember to keep a lookout for
larger commercial vessels that will be using the
traffic separation scheme.
Once you arrive at Anacapa Island, what are
your options from there?
Eve: There is a decent fair weather anchorage
on the south side of middle Anacapa Island
called East Fish Camp. The link provided here
will give you valuable information about this
anchorage, including a video of the area. There
are also places where you can go ashore on
Anacapa as the links below will reference.
www.sailchannelislands.com/cicruisingguide/
East_Fish_Camp.php
I would also recommend that you become
familiar with the Coast Pilot 7, the publication
which covers the West Coast of the United Stateswhere you will find accurate information about
the Channel Islands and associated anchorages.
Santa Cruz Island is just to the North
of Anacapa. What anchorages do you
recommend for this island?
Eve: Santa Cruz Island is the largest of
the four northern Channel Islands and has
many anchorages to choose from, including
Smugglers Cove, Yellow Banks, Willows,
Prisoners Harbor and Pelican Harbor. Use this
helpful link below for more information on
Santa Cruz anchorages:
www.sailchannelislands.com/cicruisingguide/
sc.php
If you want to go ashore on Santa Cruz, the
eastern quarter of the island is managed by
the National Park Service and no permits are
required for landing; however, there are some
areas that have restrictions. The link below will
take you to the National Park Service web page
with more information about going ashore on
Santa Cruz and Anacapa Islands:
www.nps.gov/chis/index.htm
For information about Santa Rosa and S
Miguel Islands, use the Sailchannelislands.c
website.
What other skills and equipment should y
have for exploring the Channel Islands?
Eve: Knowing how to navigate to the Chan
Islands is very important; so make sure you ha
the proper paper charts aboard your vessel. Y
should have NOAA chart no.: 18720 cover
Point Dume to Purisma Point, chart no.: 187
covering the Santa Cruz Channel and chart n
18729 for the Anacapa Passage. Also make s
you have a working GPS unit and an accur
fathometer for anchoring.
In addition to navigation, knowing how properly anchor your vessel is very importa
and your ground tackle must be in perf
working order. I recommend at least 150 fee
chain with the proper link for the size and wei
of your vessel. I also recommend another 2
feet of anchor rode or line. If you have nev
anchored your boat, it is best to practice prio
a voyage to the Channel Islands. I recomme
taking your vessel out of the Marina and anch
in 50 feet of water, for example. Try dropp
and raising your anchor several times until
procedure works smoothly for you.
Take the time to master navigation and anchor
skills because this will give you the confiden
to take on the Channel Islands experience.
Captain Joel Eve has taught boat handl
and navigation for over 32 years in South
California. He serves as a marine consultant f
both commercial and private yacht owners.
