Commodore Cliff Taylor

Stargazer

Happy Holidays! This is the time of year when Burrard Yacht Club experiences anabundance of activities and fun events for us to be involved in.

November 7 AGM - The BYC AGM was well attended and remarkably uneventful! We hadno new resolutions, bylaws, or rules to discuss or pass. We worked through the agenda andmoved on to the cocktails in record time!

November 11 Remembrance Day - We had the best weather day that I can recall. Therewere 21 boats in attendance and possibly up to 1800 participants onshore at Cates Park.Thank you to Past Commodore Frank Plumptre for organizing this event. There are a lot ofpeople who volunteered to make this a special day and we all appreciate your time andeffort!

November 17 Installation Dinner - This was another sold out night and by all accountseveryone had a wonderful time. For many of us, this is one of the nicest meals of the yearand the Capilano Golf and Country Club did not disappoint. I personally have somereservation about how the very prestigious awards were selected and handed out but it wasall in good fun!

November 21 Board Meeting - BYC has transitioned to a new board for the 2018-2019year. Most of the board remains the same and we welcome Tony Read as the newOutstations Director as previous Outstation Director David Gagnon moves to RearCommodore, Bill Iverson as the new Fleet Captain, Jennifer Davenport as the newSecretary, transitioning from Secretary to Socials Director is Jule Duke, and we have KathyGregson taking on a formal role with the Admiral’s Club.

Without a doubt it is my pleasure and honour to serve as your Commodore. Burrard YachtClub has been a part of my life since 2002. Initially I joined for moorage but quickly learnedthat the club has so much more to offer. I was asked to join the board in 2004 and haveserved in various roles including the website manager, Trident editor and IT director.Throughout all of those years I’ve seen the passion and dedication that so many of ourmembers bring. We are an incredibly vibrant club full of boaters who are making the mostof our slice of paradise.

Looking forward, we have many exciting events coming up, including the Festival of Lights,Children’s Christmas Party, Commodore’s Cocktail Party, an informal New Year’s Eve atEkins, and we hope to line up at least one fun get together in January. May we all enjoy thisfestive season with family and friends.

Cheers!

Cliff Taylor, Commodore

As the new Past Commodore, I was honoured to organize this year’s Remembrance Day Service. Theevent was very successful due to the many volunteers, staff involved.

Approx up to 1800 people attended the service on shore.

The event was particularly significant this year given it is the 100th anniversary of the signing of theArmistice marking the end of World War I.

SEASON GREETINGS

For years and years Mrs. T and I went out on the water for Carol Ships. Originally it was just for the Deep Cove area in “Stewball”which we moored at the old Art George dock (Now Seycove Marina). This was back in the seventies with Milt Goodman and friends.All balconies on shore were overloaded (I think the odd one collapsed) and Capt. Terry of (Northland Navigations) on his110’Fairmile ”Adventuress” lead the commercial vessels.

We wished All the Best of the Season and could hear their return tributes.

I was “Christmas decorating” burnt out. In the late 60’s I wasresponsible for a lot of the design of all the Christmas décor forWoodward’s interiors, including the famous windows. (I stillhave my original drawings.) We had a huge staff and starteddecorating on Remembrance Day when our stores were closed.

I have to admit that it was Mrs. T that did the Xmas boatdecorating and like now it was done mostly on a slippery wharf onrainy days.

It was exciting when we expanded our cruise to Woodlands andBelcarra and were joined by boats from Port Moody. Some of theresidents exhibited fireworks and extended warm wishes to all theCarol Ships. Many cruisers were already members of Deep Cove &BYC Clubs so it was even more fun when we ended the parade at aparty on the “Dundurn” (our old BYC breakwater). Thistradition (minus the “Dundurn”) is still being carried on by theDavisons and many more BYC & DCYC members.

For me I also really enjoyed the stripping of Xmas décor on our boats. This was done up at the end of Indian Arm on New Year’sDay. (Maybe I have a little of the “Christmas Grinch!”)

Penny & I would like to extend Our Warmest Wishes to All for Christmas and the New Year. Enjoy!

What’s On the Web

A little snippet of boating information brought to you each month by our own Vice Commodore- Rob Stokes

Planning a trip?Google Maps can be very helpful in figuring out distances. Open Google maps, right click yourmouse at your starting point, and select “Measure distance”. There now should be a dot on yourmap. Now “plot your course” to your destination using your left mouse button and note you canmove, add or delete “waypoints” any time. When done your distance is shown both on yourcourse plot itself, but also in a summary box at the bottom of the screen. Want to change fromkm to miles (no NM, sorry!)? left click your mouse on the small mileage scale boom right cornerof the window – presto, units just changed! Not a “nautical” tool, but definitely a useful one…https://www.google.ca/maps

Security, Security!

Couple of things on the security front that need your attention:

� EMERGENCY!! The club has a complete emergency system in place that when activated opens the gates foremergency personnel, sounds a siren to alert members and calls the police instantly. Just a

reminder if you hear a siren coming from the clubhouse during the night. It is thewatchman that has pushed the panic button (in Distress), we would appreciate allmembers that hear this siren to go on the floats and listen for the watchman’s whistle or aflashlight – as he may be in the water or hurt. Please note once a month the system is

tested during the day – this is only a test

� Even though the front gate can be locked open, please don’t! Now that the Spirit Trail is open there is a lot oftraffic using it (which is good!). Unfortunately an open gate is just tootempting for some and they feel compelled to come in and take a look around(which is not good). We will lock the gate open during events, but in thesesituations there has been and will continue to be someone stationed at thegate to monitor who’s coming in. If you do forget and accidentally lock thegate open, staff have been instructed to undo the lock and allow it to beaccess controlled again.

� Burrard Yacht Club security staff needs support!! BYC members have participated in thesecurity program for many years – as a participant you can coverholidays / sick days for our hard working staff. Participate andyou’ll be compensated ($$!!), receive training and be provided afirst aid course! Interested in learning more? Please contact ourmember in charge of scheduling: Neal Tyldsley 604-298-5398

Prince Rupert Yacht Club upcycles historical beacon by Matthew Allen / The Northern View

Prince Rupert Yacht and Rowing Club’sbuilding will soon have a shining light asits finishing touch.

The club recently installed adecommissioned light beacon that was inservice on Bonilla Island for more than 40years.The beacon had reached the end of itsservice life, and was destined fordisposal. However, Jack Payne, one ofthe club’s board members, approachedthe Canadian Coast Guard to ask that itbe preserved as a historical piece.“It’s interesting to have a piece of thishistory preserved at the club,” he said.

John Green, a retired Coast Guard officerwho oversaw the beacon’sdecommissioning, transport andinstallation, said he welcomed the idea tohelp maintain the legacy of marineoperations on the northwest coast.“They’re a dinosaur of a light, and itusually costs us more to scrap it than itdoes to donate it,” Green said. “And Ithought ‘Well this would be a gooddonation for somebody in town herewhether it went to the yacht club or themuseum or someone else.”Green said transporting the beacon involved dismantling and removing the glass covering surrounding the light, using ahelicopter to hoist the light from the old tower to a barge where it was shipped to Prince Rupert.“We used a specialized helicopter to do it,” Green said. “We had to disconnect it all, pull all the wiring and pull everything outof there and then go out and remove it.”Once the light arrived at the yacht club, it was lifted once again and installed at the top of a tower on top of the building.

Payne said new LED lights will be retrofitted to the beacon that will allow it to function as more of a streetlight. Also, it will notspin as that could be confusing to incoming vessels. The club will also install a plaque to acknowledge its history when thebuilding is complete.“Everybody seemed pretty excited about not seeing go into the junk heap,” Payne said. “It’s a real thing so it’s been positivelyreceived.”

Green said it felt good for him to play a small part in preserving some northwest marine coast history. He has completedsimilar projects in the past and likes to acknowledge the officers who helped build the infrastructure that has, in some cases,lasted for more than half a century.“I like to see that promoted so people can say ‘Hey I was a part of that’,” he said. “There are a lot of people who have workedfor the Coast Guard over the years.”

FROM THE SAFETY DIRECTOR

Hello Everyone,I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the winter weather is coming. The floats at BYC can be a dangerous place whenthe weather brings freezing temperatures. Slips and falls can hurt but a slip and fall into the water can be deadly.Security and maintenance will be clearing and salting the main floats when required. However it is the responsibility of themembers to ensure the finger floats that serves their slip is clean and de-iced. Maintenance maintains salt caches on thefloats for this purpose and they can also provide you with a shovel if needed. If you do not know where the nearest saltcache is to your slip please ask maintenance and they will be glad to show you. If a salt cache is depleted please bring it tothe attention of maintenance.

David Gunby, Safety

PENDER HARBOUR OUTSTATION

Karen Shankey, Christina Cully, Karen Read and Susan Arnoldhad an amAzing weekend. Once the wood stove got going the place was toasty warm. But the big hit was the new hot tub!Wish more could be said but what happens in Pender stays in Pender!

December Admirals Club Update

Our November 14th gathering of the Admirals Club was a very popular session. We welcomed Jeff Cote fromPacific Yacht Systems who talked to our group on Demystifying Boat Electronics.

I know some men were interested in hearing Jeff speak.Men you are always welcome to attend our meetings, just need you to register beforehand.

Our December meeting was replaced this year with a request to have some Admirals Club ladies volunteer tohelp Jule Hopkins, our Socials Director, decorate the clubhouse. December is such a busy time for everyoneso it made sense to forgo a formal meeting.

THE CONTINUED ADVENTURES OF BYC’s CAPT JORDAN SHISHMANOV ON HIS TRAWLER SEAWITCH IN THESOUTH PACIFIC

Subject: SeaWitch passage day 3 Rarotonga to Vava'u Group in TongaReply-To: VE7SWY@winlink.org

Hi,Today at 11:30 AM local time we are finishing our second day and beginning day 3 of 5 days passage between Rarotonga onthe Cook islands and Vava'u group, the most northern group of the Kingdom of Tonga.We have covered 335NM for the last 48hrs. This is an average of 165NM per day that is going to put us at our destination inexactly 5 days after our start. The funny thing is that we will be losing one day as we are going to cross the international dateline just before Tonga. Well, I will hope to be gaining this day back in the airplane when flying back from New Zealand toVancouver.

It's all good, except the priming pump for the water maker stopped working. It is acting up and we can’t make water at themoment. It's not an issue as we still have at least 100 gal in the tanks which will be enough for two people for a week or more.I do have a spare pump that Snej brought with her when she visited, so it's a matter of exchanging it when the weather iscalmer.

Ohhh the weather... it has been gloomy since we left Bora Bora, no sun and persistent trades blowing over 20 knots from ESE(east-southeast) all the time. Despite our 10 day weather holdup in Rarotonga, we did not hit the weather jackpot so far...Regardless, SeaWitch is riding the mighty seas very comfortably, but cooking on board is out of the question! Haydenmanages to feed us with his famous and addictive "eggs in a cup". Million thanks to the guy that invented the microwave.There is nothing to worry about, it is not worst than what we have already experienced on the Bora-Bora to Rarotongapassage.

We are both healthy in good spirits. Today should be the last day of the blow, and then the last few days of our trip we shouldsee some very calm conditions. I will be downloading updated weather files at the same time I send this email to you.

Hi all,After 2 days and 3 nights, 450 NM passage, this morning we dropped anchor in Minerva reef.

Minerva in the Greek mythology is the goddess of handicrafts, widely worshipped and regularly identified with Athena, whichled to her being regarded also as the goddess of war by the Romans.

Currently in North Minerva reef, where we will take few days rest, and prepare the boat for the last segment of this voyage -Minerva reef to New Zealand.

Minerva reef is about 260 NM on course approx 230 degrees from the main island of Tonga. The reef is about 6x4 miles withentrance to the north-north-west. Entering through the pass was easy, so was the anchoring, despite the chain being highlycompacted in the chain locker, and we are happily sucking on a drink with pineapple at 10AM...

This is it for now!Jordan ShishmanovMV SeaWitch-----At 11/3/2018 9:13 PM (utc) our position was 23°39.58'S 178°55.52'W

Hi all,It has been more than 24hrs since we left Minerva reef. the weather is nice, sunny with 10-15 knots of winds. Swell was bigin the beginning but on big intervals. Huge smooth hills of water coming and going. The boat rode them nicely, while theysubsided overnight. Now we have 2-3 feet wind waves coming on our port side, but pleasant ride over all. We even spentsome time on the command bridge yesterday enjoying the nice sunshine and pleasant breeze. Days like yesterday at seamake you forget the bad days and draw you back to the open seas, where you are the only one for hundreds or thousandsof miles.

We have made good time and running at gentle 1,000 RPM with speed of 6.7-7 knots. There must be some current with us,or we did awesome job in Tonga cleaning the bottom of the boat.I will send another email tomorrow,Cheers!Jordan-----At 11/7/2018 11:16 PM (utc) our position was 26°27.54'S 179°19.98'E

Yesterday just after i sent the update email, we had New Zealand air forces aircraft fly over us. This was 400+ NM from theNZ coast. They talked to us on channel 16 on the VHF RADIO, and asked us few questions, then flew away. It was nice toknow that we are within the reach of the New Zealand airforces. it is somewhat re assuring, knowing that they can reach youinn case of emergency. That was the highlight of yesterday!

We are having very light winds 10-14 knots and calm seas. This so far is by far the best crossing we experienced. We havedone over 500 NM so far with 300 miles to go. At 160 miles days, this will put us at the destination in Whangarai NZ, veryearly morning on Monday. We hope that the weather holds.We are healthy and in great state of mind.

From the bridge of MV SeaWitch:Captain Jordan Shishmanov-----At 11/9/2018 8:14 PM (utc) our position was 31°04.88'S 177°04.21'E

Hi all,Yesterday we had some dolphins cruising with us in the "oily" looking flat seas. They hung around for some time time, thenthey left.

After couple of days with no wind and wonderful flat seas with no ripples, we are back in the normal 10-15 knots of wind and1.5-2m seas. It is not uncomfortable, but definitely, not like yesterday and the day before. On the bright side - we are lessthen 120 of the approaches to Whangarai and if we decide to go to Opua there is only 90 miles to the Bay of Islands.I have timed the passage for early morning arrival in Whangarai and I think I will stick to the original plan. We should beapproaching the harbour about 6-7AM tomorrow morning, just after sunrise.I should report tomorrow from the New Zealand shore.

So there - The SeaWitch and her crew is just about done with Pacific crossing - more than 9 thousand nautical miles since15th of March 2018.More about that tomorrow... I don't want to speak "on hand"From the bridge of MV SeaWitchCaptain Jordan Shishmanov-----At 11/10/2018 11:52 PM (utc) our position was 33°54.03'S 175°39.09'E

Hi all,

After 5 days passage, we just tied up the boat to dock at Marsden Cove Marina in Whangarai, New Zealand!We are very happy to close this chapter of sea adventures, after 3,000+ nautical miles since we left Papeete in the beginningof October.

There were pleasant moments and not very pleasant moments, but one forgets quickly the bad times and remembers thegood times. So this trip was the first real proving ground for boat, captain and crew!

We did make it! Today I can proudly say - I've crossed the pacific, crossed the equator and crossed the international dateline! And all that on a 45 year old boat, with 45 year old engine, and no sails! Who needs sails when you can get duty freefuel at many places in the South Pacific, and the great boat has a range of over 4,000 miles on single fuel-up?

The next order of business is clean-the mighty (very dirty) SeaWitch, then to lay her up for a long rest on the hard. Therewould be some maintenance needed after putting more than 1,000 Hrs on the engine and other systems, but this will have towait for the time when I come back to New Zealand.

This will be my last update email. Anyone that wishes to contact me please send me email not to this email address, butrather to my regular gmail.com or shaw.ca addresses.I will not be checking this address any more for a while.Cheers!Jordan-----At 11/11/2018 9:32 PM (utc) our position was 35°50.20'S 174°28.09'E

Do you like to have fun, have some good ideas to do so or like to plan special events? Well wehave an opportunity for you!

Socials has set events and some fun extras that they are responsible for over the course of the year, but know that manytalented club members have some great ideas and skills to mount other events beyond these. Therefore Socials extends toany BYC member, who has an interest to plan/implement an activity or event that other club members may enjoyparticipating in to step forward and do so.

If you like to dance, play bingo, do potlucks or be entertained you are most welcome to plan an event and invite other BYCmembers and their guests to join you. If you wanted to plan and lead an event, the cost must be completely covered bythe event revenue as no funds are available from the Club budget to assist in hosting such events. Socials can make theclubhouse available to you depending on availability and not conflicting with other set events under the Socials banner andresponsibilities. Socials can also assist in any orientation you would need to get the invitation out to members and for usingthe clubhouse.

If you are interested in planning and leading an event, please let Jule Hopkins know at:socials@burrardyachtclub.com or 778-837-0004 and arrangements can be made to accommodate your ideas.

Also if members have any ideas of events or activities that they would like to see Socials organize for Club members, forthe months of January, February and March, please do not hesitate to send your suggestions and ideas along to me, and Iwill do my best to consider all ideas.

Looking forward to hearing your ideas and seeing if members would like to lead something for other club members.

Thank you,

Jule Hopkins, Socials Director

The December issue marks the completion of the second year for me being your Trident editor. Time, as it alwaysdoes has gone very quickly. I have learned enough about desk top publishing in the last two years to realize howmuch I don’t know.

I would like to send a “shout out” to my main contributors and proof readers for your support. You know who youare. Thank you.

Penny and I wish you all a great Christmas and New Year.

P.S. In the previous issue I mentioned that our son and his wife (wife mostly) had produced our firstgranddaughter. We just found out our son’s twin brother and wife are expecting. The world is being taken over byCoolings.
