Why strap your baby when we can cradle it? Call us today: 503-861-1311.

Our boat, “META IV” is a 1971, 34-ft Tolly-craft that we have owned for 6 years.

We were told by a fellow boater about War-renton Boat Yard as the place to go to have“META IV” hauled out and bottom work done.

The Salmi Brothers proved to be very profes-sional and knowledgeable about the repairs I re-quested. I was very impressed with theirhonesty and their work ethics.

Our work was well done and at a fair price.We would recommend Warrenton Boat Yard

to anyone!Rick & Maggi Wright

When the 712' Dutch heavy-lift cargoship Blue Marlin completed the journeyfrom China to Swan Island, in N.E. Port-land, at the end of August, carrying a newdrydock for the Vigor Shipyard, it was justanother job accomplished for the world'slargest heavy-lift ship. This unusual vesselhas a submersible cargo deck 585 feet longand a carrying capacity of 30,000 tons. Ithas carried many giant floating structuresvast distances, including oil rigs, the Sea-based X-band Radar station, and the de-stroyer USS Cole after it was attacked bysuicide bombers in the port of Aden,Yemen.

But this voyage was important to thelower Columbia River region because itputs Vigor Industrial, owner of the PortlandShipyard, back on the world map for big-ship drydocking services on the Americanwest coast. The yard's previous big dry-dock bought many large ships up to 1,000'long up the Columbia and WillametteRivers from 1979 to 2001, when it was soldto raise badly-needed funds.

Now Vigor thinks the time is right is

right for Portland to get back into the dry-dock business-at a cost of $40 million. Theaptly-named Vigorous arrived in threepieces and when assembled will be 960feet long, with an inside width of 186 feetand a lifting capacity of 80,000 long tons,making it the largest floating drydock inthe U.S. The shipyard was originally es-tablished in 1941 by Henry Kaiser andbuilt oil tankers for the war effort.

The Blue Marlin cruised across the Pa-cific at 8.5 knots. It can submerge it's maindeck to a depth of 10 m (33 ft) , then slowlypump its ballast tanks dry to lift the cargosafely out of the water. (The old Portlanddock was towed for 20,000 nautical milesto the Caribbean via the Suez Canal be-cause it is too large to fit through thePanama Canal and not seaworthy enoughto go via the Strait of Magellan. The aver-age speed was around 4 knots. It found anew home in the Bahamas, where it iswell-placed to service cruise ships based inFlorida, and cargo ships going fromPanama to Europe and the US east coast.

SailTime—A Boat Ownership Program That Works For You!

Passion Yachts on Hayden Is-land is the local center for an excit-ing new concept of fractional yachtownership called SailTime. This isan innovative approach to boat ac-cess and ownership that makesit easier, quicker and more eco-nomical for aspiring captains totake the helm of a beautiful, well-equipped sail or power boat any-where in the world.

In 2001, avid boater GeorgeBonelli saw a need for makingboating easier and more affordable.He founded SailTime, purchasedthe first boat with personal savings,and tested the business model onLake Travis in Austin, Texas. Ini-tially, the company focused exclu-sively on sailboats, and the businessquickly expanded to 30 bases inNorth America in its first threeyears.

Subsequently SailTime has ex-panded to over 50 bases with 160boats on two continents, in fivecountries and three languages. Ithas also included power boats withSailTime Power as well as severalother complimentary products thathelp members achieve the personalboating goals they set for them-selves and their families.

Ownership ProgramYou can enjoy ownership of a

new, fully optimized sail or powerboat and get paid for the pleasure.At the same time, we’ll even takecare of it for you! With our yachtownership program you can buyyour boat without all the intimidat-ing costs and hassles. You will bethe sole owner of your boat, andyou’ll have all the benefits of own-ership without the time commit-ment and worry. We provide youwith a monthly payment, and weprofessionally manage and care foryour vessel as long as it’s in theprogram.

As a boat owner you’ll haveguaranteed regular access to yourboat using SailTime’s online sched-uling system. The system gives youthe opportunity to design your ownboating calendar; to make instantreservations for current openings orto plan an outing a year in advance.Your boat will be kept in a conven-ient local marina so you can goboating whenever you like!

Professional boat managementAsk any boat owner. Regular

maintenance is a big expense andrequires a lot of time and expertise.

For SailTime Owner Members, allthose headaches are gone. Yourlocal base owner will handle every-thing from oil changes to fiberglasswork. You’ll be kept in the loop, butwon’t have to worry about a thing!

Each SailTime base is independ-ently owned and operated by a localentrepreneur. These “Base Owners”take pride in insuring that your ex-perience with SailTime is one that ismemorable and world class.

The lower Columbia Rivernow has a new source of water-borne firefighting and search andrescue, courtesy of the federalgovernment, as part of the U.S.Coast Guard Sector ColumbiaRiver’s Area Maritime Securityfor three “Regional Response Ves-sels.” The Port of Astoria’s 31’aluminum vessel is called the Tri-

dent, named after the Port’scentennial symbol Father Nep-tune, whose trident appears onthe bows.

It can shoot thousands of gal-lons of water per minute in a 200foot stream from monitors at thebow and stern. It can also scan theriver bottom, with a Simrad navi-gation system, and use a FLIRinfra-red camera to find swim-mers in the dark.

The 37' overall craft ( includ-ing the engine guard and bowknees) was built by North RiverBoats in Roseburg, Oregon. It ispowered by a pair of 4.2 liter, 300hp Yamaha outboards that canpush it to a speed of almost 40knots. In addition, it has a Kodiak350hp 5.7 liter marine inboardengine to drive the fire pumps.

The large cabin is fitted withLED lighting, a full electronicspackage, spotlights, first-aidequipment etc to handle all emer-gencies. With a nozzle on thestern, the Trident can also supplyriver water for land-based engines.

The lack of a fireboat in Asto-ria has been an issue for a decadeand waterfront properties havesuffered several devastating firesin recent years, like the Sixth St.

fire in 2010 and the Pacific CoastSeafood blaze last year. The ac-quisition of these vessels is theculmination of a two-year projectto identify marine firefightingvulnerabilities in the ColumbiaRiver system and address themthrough federal grant programs.

The other two boats are basedin Vancouver and downstream atRidgefield for Clark County. Thetotal cost of $2.7 million was paidby the federal funds, but eachlocal authority will have to payfor manning and operating theirvessel.

The grant requires that they re-spond to all types of emergencieson the river system, includingsearch and rescue, dive supportetc. and could be trailered to a siteif this is quicker. They can also beused for patrols and surveys,which gives the crews more op-portunities to train. The Astoriaboat is kept out of the water on aJetdock floating boat lift to avoidfouling of the hull and reduce un-derwater maintenance.

NW SAILING NEWS SEPTEMBER 2014

TM

n a recent Friday, my wife and I spentthe evening sailing with some friends

on board their C & C 40. It was one of thoseperfect evenings, with temps in the high 70’sand plenty of wind to make the runs up anddown the Columbia fun, with little dangerof spilling any beverages that might possiblybe on board.

Among the boaters who were out enjoy-ing the water was a young family on theboat in the next slip over. The four of them,plus the family dog, were in their inflatabletender, heading over to a nearby beach for alittle evening picnic. It was a great scene,and got me to thinking about my earlieryears sailing on Puget Sound and beyond.

My sister and I had the privilege ofspending most of our young lives growingup around sailboats. Back in 1966 whenmy father decided to build a 31-foot Piverplywood trimaran in the backyard, itchanged our lives forever (and not just byproviding me with an early lesson on thenecessities of profanity and its relation tovarious forms of labor). It opened up aworld to my sister and me that most of ourcontemporaries would never experience.Because my father had a certain senseof adventure, and because my motherrecognized that we’d be better off seeingand doing things that didn’t include thetelevision, the two of them took the two ofus on a journey that showed what layoutside the four walls of our suburbanSeattle home.

When the boat was completed, or at leastcompleted enough that she would take uswhere we wanted to go, our weekends andsummer vacations were spent sailing. Wetraveled the length and breadth of PugetSound on weekends, and no summer wascomplete for us unless we spent severalweeks sailing in the San Juan and CanadianGulf islands, our trusty, stout, trimaran tak-ing us to places we otherwise could haveonly dreamed about. We spent more time onthe water or in marinas than we did watch-ing the three channels on our television (re-member, this was the sixties), and we sawthings that our friends marveled at: sailingacross the Straits of Juan de Fuca while apod of porpoise played and swam with us;witnessing bald eagles in flight when thatwas truly a rarity; watching curious harborseals swim up alongside our boat in Mas-sacre Bay on Orcas Island; and more mem-ories too numerous to mention here.

My father was the sailor, trained andperfected at the Naval Academy. He had apatient nature and an uncommon knowl-edge that not only made it easier to learnhow to sail, but also made it fun. Mymother hadn’t been a sailor prior to thistime, but she brought traits to the mix thatwere equally vital: resourcefulness, re-

silience, and the ability to entertain usthrough the written word.

As Dad sailed us from one anchorage toanother (he typically loathed mooring at acrowded marina), Mom would read to all ofus. The variety of literature she impartedwas as different as the coves we anchoredin. From the humor of H. Allen Smith to theadventures of Jack London, to the simpletragic beauty of Hemingway and Steinbeck,Mom covered it all.

I sail today with music, but I think noth-ing tops those days of coasting through theSan Juans while Mom brought to life “Callof the Wild” and all the adventures of Buck,the hero of that wonderful book. How luckyfor my sister and me. How incredibly lucky.

As I write this today, contemplating lifenow that both my parents have passed on(hopefully to calm seas and fair winds), Ican’t help but think back to those simple,perfect days growing up on a sailboat. Sothanks, Mom and Dad. Thanks for taking usto beautiful and wonderful places. Thanksfor giving us a life that many never get toexperience. Thanks for teaching us thatgoing slow, powered by the wind alone, wasmore than enough. It made us different, itmade us unique. I guess you could say itmade us a sailing family.

On The DocketAs I write this, summer is slowly wind-

ing down, but there are still plenty of eventson the horizon. There are still three weeksleft of the CYC Summer Evening Series,which has been chock full of big winds, afew threats of lightening, and more actionthan an Arnold Schwarzenegger film. InSeptember, look for the SYSCO St. HelensRace & Cruise on the first weekend, and theRCYC Long Distance Race the weekend ofSeptember 13-14 (trust me, if you’re look-ing for a fun race and a really fun post-race,you don’t want to miss this one).

OWSA hosts the Set Sail for a Cause onSeptember 20-21, and the CYC Fall Regattaruns the last weekend of September. Octo-ber brings the PYC Robert A Smith Regatta,not to mention the kickoff of the year’s ver-sion of the CYC Sail on Sunday Series. Besure to bring some fleece for that one.

The OCSA Awards Banquet is scheduledfor November 8, and then it’s time to thinkabout setting up a payroll deduction planwith your local chandlery in preparation forholiday gift buying. By the end of the year,it won’t be too early to start thinking aboutboat preparation if you’re planning to com-pete in the 2015 Oregon Offshore race (par-ticularly if your boat is new to the event). Ican’t promise that you’ll get the ideal con-ditions that the fleet had on the last Off-shore, but you can always dream...

Dale’s Corner by Dale Waagmeester

Writing this articlemay seem counter-product ive for aperson whose job de-scription includesdoing sail repairs, butsome of the followingsuggestions will makethings easier for the

folks at the loft as well, so heregoes. We constantly see sail-repairbills that could have been lessexpensive if the customer hadbeen better prepared before theybrought the sail in, or if they hadengaged in some logical preventa-tive maintenance that would havekept the need for repair to a mini-mum. Let’s start off with one ofthe more common things we seethat can drive up a repair bill:

1) Know where your repairis. We constantly have customersbring in a sail for repair and theywill tell us something like, “Pleasefix the small hole at the tack,” or“repair the hole about half way upon the red leech tape.” The cus-tomer doesn’t want us to do a fullcheck over of the sail, but ratherjust wants us fix a small problemwith the sail that they noticedover the last weekend of sailing.No sweat!

As with most service shops, thetime clock starts ticking as soon aswe pull the item out onto the floorto start working on it. The troubleis that many times we can't for thelife of us find the hole that the cus-tomer has told us about. We canspend a good amount of time look-ing for the hole (which costs thecustomer money) yet never findthe problem that the customer hastold us about.

What often happens is that thehole turns out to be near the blueleech tape, and not the red, as orig-inally reported, or maybe it is rightabove the clew patch instead ofhalf way up as we were originallytold. Or, maybe the hole is by theclew instead of the tack. Maybethe customer gets the terms “clew”and “tack” mixed up (this happensALL the time). All of this search-ing around for what should be aquick and inexpensive repair candrive up the cost of the repair bill.

And of course, if we finallygive up trying to find the hole anddecide to call the customer:

2) Give a phone number tothe sailmaker where you can bereached during standard workhours. Even though we ask the

customer for a “daytime” phonewhen we write up their workticket, I can't tell you how manytimes, when we try to call the cus-tomer to ask them a question, givethem the repair estimate that theyrequested, or to discuss their sailsituation with them, we get thephone answered by: “Hello! Youhave reached the home of Dave,Jill, Bobby, Betsey, Bailey, Bruce,and Zolo the Wonder Dog. Wecan’t come to the phone right now,so please leave a message atthe beep!”

So, now we have a sail allpinned out in the middle of the loftfloor, and we find a little problemthat the customer was unaware ofand we want to give them theiravailable options for the repair.Except nobody is home. In manycases the sail has to be un-pinnedfrom the floor and moved aside sothat another sail can be worked on.Once Dave or Jill gives us a callthe next day (and sometimes theday after that) and we decide onthe proper approach for their sailrepair, the sail has to be re-laid outon the floor. Doubling the sail-makers efforts is definitely notcost effective.

The most efficient customerswill mark a problem area with apiece of tape so that the damagedarea is easily spotted on the loftfloor, or even immediately as youstart pulling the sail out of the bag.Remember that no matter howcarefully a sailmaker crawls acrossa sail to look for damage, it isoften easier to spot a hole whensailing on the boat, particularlywhen the sail is backlit by the sun.Because of their reflective surface,Mylar sails are notoriously diffi-cult on which to find small holeswhen in the loft, and it can betough to find small holes in a spin-naker when it is in the loft as well,when the same hole will stand outlike a sore thumb when out onthe water.

Checking over your entire in-ventory by yourself is not alwaysthe greatest option for a sailor, be-cause sailors will often miss im-portant repairs that need to bedone. It doesn’t hurt to check outyour own sail rather than pay thesailmaker to do it, however, espe-cially if you have a relatively newsail that might just have a minorbit of wear on it. A sail check overcan be relatively inexpensive ifthere is not a lot wrong with thesail, but if the sail is badly wornand heavily used, a check over can

start to get a bit pricey. Whenlooking over a sail, we crawl overboth sides of the sail and mark andmap any problems that we find.Stitching is checked and then dou-ble checked from the other side. Aseam that looks perfect on oneside can have all of the threadabraded away on the other, so it isimperative to really look a sailover well. A sail that has a lot ofproblems can be fairly costlylabor-wise to check over and map.

3) Bring your sails in everyyear—or so to get completelychecked over, particularly on alarger boat. In the long run, it canbe more cost effective. There willbe a lot less check over and repairwork to do if you keep the repairsup to date, rather than waiting forthe entire sail to start falling apartbefore you bring the sail to theloft. And PLEASE, your vintage1968 sail is NOT “as good asnew”! Surprisingly, I hear this onea lot (just last week, in fact). Onetime I actually had a guy call try-ing to sell me some 45-year-oldLightning sails under the premiseof them being “antiques.” He wassure that he had a $1,000 item inhis possession, and seemed very

irked when I told him that the sailswere virtually worthless on today’smarket. I guess that one man’s junkis another mans treasure!

4) Duct tape is a temporaryrepair! It can make for a goodemergency sail repair, please re-member that it should only be aTEMPORARY repair. If duct tapeis left on the sail for any length oftime, it will leave a very sticky,ugly residue that can be difficult toremove. When you finally bringthat sail in for repair you will ei-ther have a nasty adhesive messaround your repair or the sail-maker will need to spend extratime removing the left-over adhe-sive with a solvent.

5) Here is another good one:do not store your sails in a barn,dock box, or damp corner of yourbasement. We see many repairsevery year where sails are dam-aged by being knawed on by amouse, rat, nutria, beaver or

muskrat. A hungry little mousecan chew literally a hundred holesin a sail over the winter. A beaver,muskrat, or nutria can put somehuge holes in a sail should theydecide to burrow in your dock boxover the winter. And should anyof these critters decide to nest inyour comfy sail for any amount oftime, they typically mark it as theirown with urine (cats are famousfor doing this as well). This makesfor a gross stinky sail and no sail-maker will work on the sail until itis thoroughly cleaned. A trip up toClean Sails and your sail willsmell clean again, but this is an-other unnecessary expense thatcould have been prevented.

I am just getting started and Ihave already used up all of my col-umn space. I guess that I will haveto wait until next month's issue togive you more money-savingideas. Until then, enjoy the sum-mer sailing!

It couldn’t have been amore perfect day on the Co-lumbia River. The sun wasshining and the wind waspicking up little tufts on thewater's surface. I was about tohave my first ride on a cruis-ing sailboat, a Hunter 28.5 tobe exact. There was quite a bitof hustle and bustle as weset to work preparing thislarge vessel. Winches werewinched, sails were raised,bumpers were pulled in, andwe set out to sail the Colum-bia. We were in fact only onesailboat of many out on theColumbia that day, just onepart of a majestic fleet.

was easy to see the comfortable camaraderie between the sailors on board. You would-n’t even know that the majority of them had only met each other that day. Each sailorhad their own unique story behind how they discovered sailing. It seems that sailing,like many hobbies, attracts people from all walks of life.

Matteo Luccio, our boisterous captain for the journey, has a 40-year sailing back-ground. Matteo has sailed in Italy, Greece and the United States. For the majority ofhis sailing background Matteo chartered or sailed other people’s boats. It wasn’t untilabout six years ago that he was finally able to purchase his first sailboat, an Islander21. The Hunter 28.5 is his third boat.

Joshua got his start in sailing four years ago through a Groupon for a sailing classin New York. “It was a two day class and it was half off, so I thought why not,” he said.He fell in love, joined a sailing club, and has been sailing ever since.

Susan was introduced to sailing while she was learning to scuba dive. “I actuallyliked the sailing more than the scuba diving,” she said while laughing, “You get torelax more while sailing.”

Jerry has a naval background as an officer on an aircraft carrier. He went to twosailing Meetups last year and has gone on two this year as well.

Manca sailed as a child with his father in Italy. He started sailing again recentlywhen he met Matteo in a coffee shop. The two of them have been making plans to sailfrom the East Coast to Italy together.

Sailing back to the docks is an entirely different experience from sailing away fromthem. Moving with the wind and current transformed our meandering jaunt into ex-hilarating adventure. There is certainly a level of agility and quick thinking requiredwhen the wind kicks up and fills the sails. The group got a chuckle out of my shockedexpression and my nervous giggles as we tilted ever closer to the water’s surface andwhat I envisioned as my inevitable doom. Joshua informed me "it's not fun unlesswater is coming in the boat", while Matteo reassured me that it's virtually impossibleto capsize the sailboat.

At the end of the day, after we had pulled down the sails, docked the boat, andwrapped everything up, I knew I had the opportunity to be a part of an enthrallingvoyage. I had become one with the elements, conquered them even, and used them formy own fantastical purposes. Even better, I had made friends along the way. So, foranyone else that is intrigued by the thought of a river voyage propelled by the fickleelements of nature, you should check out either the Sailing in Portland Meetup(http://www.meetup.com/Sailing-in-Portland/) or the Island Sailing Club(http://www.islandsailingclub.com/). Adventure Awaits!

In the Galley with Capt. Sandra Thoma

It’s Crab and Shrimp Season!Roy has recently taken to fish-

ing for shrimp. Drawn by the lureof tasty shellfish fresh from theSalish Sea, he has invested in aheavy pot, 400 feet of sinkableline and a system that involves alarge orange float attached to aone-way cleat-type thing. Beforethe time of this story, it was defi-nitely fishing, which is differentfrom catching. He's sought advicefrom the fellow across the dockthat always brings in a good haul,read articles online, changed baits,looked at bottom types and tidecycles, but had yet to catch morethan a Rockfish. (How did that getin the trap, anyway?). I prefer tooccupy myself with the more sim-ple challenge of a crab pot, andeven then, we’ve had little luck.

On the weekend of which Iwrite, our friends Randy andSusan from Portland joined usin northern Washington. Saturdaymorning the four of us motored

through calm air with the goal offetching Sucia Island at slackwater. Slack water, we’ve beentold, is the time the little sea crea-tures, like shrimp and crab comeout to feed. After studying thecharts for depth and bottom type,we selected a spot on the northside of the long rocky finger islandat the entrance to the hand ofSucia. It was just before slackwater. We splashed our traps,crossed our fingers and toes, andheaded back out for a sail.

We sailed in a light wind be-tween Orcas and Sucia until thecurrent eddies pushed the boatmore than the wind, then wentback to fetch our traps. Randywent up to the bow to help Roysnag the float with a boat hook.Roy walked the line back to thestern cleat, and I drove away asfast as our little diesel enginewould take us, which is not veryfast. Roy and Randy eye-balled

the amount of line we’d drawnthrough the one way cleat thing,and after what seemed like a longtime, and about all the room I hadbetween the finger and the reef tothe north, it was determined wecould turn back.

The guys hauled in line, andmore line, and even more line,until eventually, the shrimp pot ap-peared under the large, orangefloat. I was very glad that theywere on the bow, and didn't hearme grumble about the saltwater,slimy mess the line made all overthe deck. They hauled the trap outof the water, and Roy held it up,grinning back at Susan and I in thecockpit. Look, he said, shrimp!Sure enough, he’d caught halfdozen very large shrimp. Not ahuge haul, but six times more thanwe had caught before.

Luck was with us, because inaddition to half a dozen shrimp,we also caught the last availablemooring ball in this most popularof marine state parks. Roy and Irowed out in Peace to fetch ourcrab pot, which we'd set near asandstone rocky point inside theharbor. The pot came up easily.Too easily, I thought and I wasready for disappointment, but tomy delight, the trap held threelarge crab, and they were all keep-ers. Yahoo, we were going to havecrab and shrimp for dinner!

Crab Boil:There is tons of info online

about how to handle and cleancrab. Fresh is always best, andthanking the little critters for being

food for life always makes it eas-ier for me to do the deed.

The recipe is our version ofstone soup. We don't have crabcrackers on the boats, so we usedblunt-nosed pliers from the tool-box. Not fancy, but they workedgreat.• 1 large onion, quartered• ½ bottle white wine• Handful of fresh parsley• 1 ear of corn per person• 2-3 small red potatoes per person• 3-6 shrimp per person• ¼ to ½ cleaned, fresh crab

per person

Add the white wine to a largepot of boiling water, enough tocover the corn and potatoes. Addthe parsley and onion and bringback to a boil. Cook the potatoesfirst. When they are tender whenpoked with a fork, add the corn,cook for 3-5 mins, then add thecrab and shrimp. Optional - add atablespoon of Old Bay Seasoning.Pull the corn, potatoes, crab andshrimp out and place in a largebowl. Serve with a tossed greensalad, bread and butter.

It is August and my birthdaymonth, so this recipe is in honor ofRoy, who makes this for me everyyear. Its a favorite summer treat.

Peach-Blueberry CobblerPeel about 3lbs (6-8) peaches

in a large bowl. Peaches are easyto peel if you let them sit in a bathof hot water for 5-10mins.• Toss in a cup of fresh or frozen

blueberries• 1/3 cup of sugar • 1 tsp of vanilla or almond extract

zest of one lemon• 2 TBLS of cornstarch

Pour mixture into large bakingdish and dot with topping mix(below). For my birthday dinner,Roy used gluten-free scone mix,with some extra butter added, andchopped almonds for the topping.It was wonderful!

Traditional Topping:• 2 Cups flour• 2/3 cups sugar• ½ cup brown sugar• 1 tsp cinnamon• 2 sticks of cold butter

Use a hand-mixer or a fork tocombine butter and flour mixture.Mixture should be the consistencyof pebbles. Since its August andwarm, my mixture turned out likecrumbly cookie dough. It made awonderful, crispy topping

t’s been said that you can nevergo back or that once you've

been there, it’s never the same ex-perience again. I now have be-come a believer of that truism.Five years ago my life's mate,Becky and I were struck by thebeauty of snow covered mountainsrising out from blue green watersto the very edge of the passages,straits and fiords that we passedthrough. Whales would seem tobe everywhere breaching, bubblefeeding or traveling. Dolphinsswam along with us, playing inour wake while curious sealsabounded all along our path. Theweather for the most part waswarm and mild, begging for shortsand bare feet.

This year heavy rain, excesswind, heaving seas and fog havebeen the norm obscuring our viewof the mountains and allowingmost of the sea creatures to escapeour efforts to capture them oncamera. Oh, granted there havebeen some days of sunshine,maybe two weeks total coming aday or two at a time. Howeversome of those days included 45knots of wind and high seas.Somehow the storms and dismaldays of rain gave us the opportu-nity not only to recapture our pastappreciation of the beauty (whenwe could see it), but to look at theinside passage a different way.

While trying to find safe har-bors or just a quiet place torest offered in the many in-lets and coves off thebeaten path of most thattravel north, we were ableto go ashore and find theremnants of those whohad been before. Brokenparts of floating campsused by hand loggerswho lived on them,sometimes with theirfamilies as they loggedthe forests withoutpower tools, lay wherethe highest tides placedthem. Abandoned fishcanneries with brokenpi l ing , co l lapsedbuildings and docksabound. The cove’sbeaches and even alittle inland have be-come an archeolo-gists dream withhulks of worn out

fishing boats, work boatsand tugs. Rusted machin-ery from the loggingshows and canneries and manymines can be found in calm covesalong with broken crockery andoccasional intact small bottle.

The gray skies and storms thisyear offered an unexpected benefitof seeing the passage thru the eyesof those who live there. Instead ofspending a night here and there wewere forced to spend three or fourdays at a time in the safe havensof the small villages and citiesalong our path. There we met withT'simshian (SIM-She-an), Haida(HIDA-uh) and (KLIN-kit orTLIN-kit) peoples along with life-long residents, fishermen and oth-ers who eke a living along thewaters of the Pacific shoreline.

The tales of the passage rangedfrom the stories of the 'spirit bears'(all white black bears) of the FirstNation band of the Klemtu Bandon the Canoona River as told to usby Murray ‘Moose’ Barton as weshared coffee floating at the headof Khutze Inlet. (http://www.spir-itbear.com/)

An old pioneer family codgerfrom Port Neville, BC who spokeof his first wife dying of “acciden-tal” mushroom poisoning, his sec-ond wife died also of “accidental”mushroom poisoning and histhird wife couldn’t stand the hugewaves and storms of JohnstoneStrait and left before she ate anymushrooms. I suspect that thatwas a tall tale, but we didn’t eatany mushrooms with him atany rate.

To the stories of fishermen who

spent more times than oncefloating in life rafts from theBering Sea to SE Alaska, asthey watched their boatsdisappear beneath the crash-ing seas.

By spending more timein the larger cities that wepassed through, we foundthe time to learn their his-tories. Ketchikan’s richfishing history of its fisher-men and the canneries thatprocessed the fish. Theloggers and the mills theysent the logs to and ofcourse and the workinggirls of Creek Street.Sitka’s (New Archangel-Russian name) historyprior to the RussianAmerican Company’srule as the T’lingitfought with the Rus-sians and the subse-quent purchase of Alaska bythe US known as Seward’s folly atthe time (little did they know).And Juneau’s history of how JoeJuneau and Dick Harris (prospec-tors) were led to the gold found inGold Creek by Chief Ko-wee ofthe Auk T’lingit people andthe working of the mines thatspawned the labor battles foughtover wages and the conditions theminers worked under.

In the smaller villages likeTenakee Springs (hot springs) thatboasts the use of their small vil-lage as a haven for many escapingthe long arm of the law, such asSoapy Smith’s gang who came toTenakee Springs after Soapy wasshot and killed in Skagway. OrKasaan where the Haida village isin the process of saving the totemsresurrected during the Great De-pression era and the whale housebuilt by the Haida Chief Son-I-Hatthat had been was moved fromOld Kasaan to (new) Kasaanaround 1903 when the KasaanHaida moved across Kasaan Bayto work in the new fish cannerywhen the Kasaan Bay Companyoffered the Haida permanent em-ployment, education and help lay-ing out a new village.

We were able to visit the muse-

ums from Prince Rupert to Juneauwhere we learned the history ofthe Totem and Memorial Polesand what each character repre-sented to each of the three tribes,their clans and the interaction witheach other. We discovered howFranklin Roosevelt with his CCC'sand WPA of the Depression wereable to save the native cultureof the Totem and helped preservethat native art form and history.This preserved art form now hasgiven a rise not only to the nativepeoples of BC and Alaska but hascome to represent much thePacific Northwest’s own richheritage.

Now as we hike the many trailsin Juneau while waiting for partsto our radar, Becky and I havefound that indeed you can’t goback, however who wants’ too?Just because you have the samegray and blue-green waters of theInside Passage pass under yourkeel you passed through yearsago, doesn’t mean that you have toexperience the passage the sameway. We just looked to the hori-zon and through the gray skies andwind into the land and peoplefinding a new way to see thebeauty of the Inside Passage.

Join us from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.for our family-friendly historyfestival in the West Linn LocksPark, helping to celebrate the125th anniversaries of the T.W.Sullivan Hydropower Plant andthe West Linn Paper mill, alongwith, of course, the history andfu ture of the 141-year-o ldWillamette Falls NavigationalCanal & Locks. No boats will beallowed in the canal this year, butjet boat rides will be availablefrom Jon Storm dock that day. Seewww.willamettefalls.org for moreinformation.

Corps of Engineers report finds“Adverse Effects” of closure.

This spring the COE acknowl-edged that under the definitionsoutlined in the National HistoricPreservation Act, Section 106, theCorps’ 2011 closure of Willamette

Falls Navigation Canal and Lockscaused “adverse effects” to thecanal and lock’s core historic val-ues. As required by the Act,on August 15 District officials en-tered into mandatory negotiationswith locks stakeholders, aimedat eventual mitigation of thoseeffects.

The adverse effects admittedby the COE include: the elimina-tion of access via the locks for thecontinuance of traditional culturaland educational practices such astribal canoe journeys; “effects tothe engineering values” (mechan-ical operations/stability of walls/function of gates); and isolation ofthe facility from both vehicle andfoot access, reducing the “asso-ciative and experiential qualitiesof a vibrant water passage withriver traffic moving through thelock chambers” and preventingan understanding of the locks’mechanical operation and histori-cal role.

Locks Benefits AnalysisOur newly completed study

proves the closure frustrated boat-ing demand. Looking ahead to thefirst year or two after WillametteFalls Locks re-opens, the mostlikely users will be Oregon pleas-ure boaters, weekend sailors andvisitors taking to the WillametteRiver Water Trail. Pent-up de-mand in those areas is a keypre l iminary find ing of anECONorthwest study commis-sioned by the One WillametteRiver Coalition. The findingemerges from dozens of ‘key in-formant’ interviews with groups,

businesses and individuals whomight benefit from a re-openedcanal and locks around WillametteFalls.

Unfortunately, the canal’s fed-eral authorization funds opera-tions based strictly on commercialtonnage, not recreational uses.Therein lies the problem: TheWillamette Valley has movedaway from resource extractionand the natural resource-basedeconomy that dominated thelast century.

Based on the interviews, in-complete data from past use, andprojections, the study’s central as-sumption is that it will take sometime to rebuild shared industrialand commercial usage of thecanal, which declined dramati-cally as a result of sporadicclosures and reduced operationalhours.

Significantly, the completedstudy will allow readers to workwith an interactive spreadsheet oflock costs, hours, and funding op-tions. The spreadsheet is designedto be a tool during the next phaseof One Willamette River Coali-tion's efforts to move the locks outof federal ownership and into asustainable future funding model.

Sandy Carter, of the OneWillamette River Coalition, andPeggy Sigler, of the NationalTrust for Historic Preservation,are spearheading stakeholder ef-forts to identify the future owner-ship structure and operating entityor partnership. The full study willbe posted on the ECONW web-site. Contact Carter at 530-655-0649 for more information.

Insurance is one of thosethings you hope you never haveto use, but if you do, you expectthe policy to fix the boat or com-pensate you fairly. If you haven’ttaken a close look at your boatinsurance, you could be surprisedto find that you may not be enti-tled to a payout with some com-mon types of claims. That’sbecause unlike home or auto,boat insurance policies offer awide range of coverage, fromvery little to a lot. Boat OwnersAssociation of The United States(BoatUS) recently took a look atthe most common claims over thepast five years, and has these tipsso you will know if your boat’sinsurance policy will live up toyour expectations:

Consequential Damage: Ifyou take hurricane losses out ofthe list of common claims, thenumber one claim is for sinking,and half of all sinkings occur atthe dock when some small partbelow the waterline fails. Themost common culprits includehoses/hose clamps, s tuffing

boxes, outdrive bellows, and seastrainers. But these parts mostoften fail due to “wear, tear, andcorrosion” which is a lack ofmaintenance issue, so policieswon’t pay you for a new outdrivebellows or sea strainer. But whatabout the rest of the boat sittingsunk on the lake bottom? Somepolicies won’t cover that, either,as they exclude any “consequen-tial” damage as a result of wear,tear and corrosion. That’s whyyou need “Consequential Dam-age” coverage that covers lossesthat often start with a failed part.

Fuel-spill liability: Some poli-cies only pay the cost of cleaningup a fuel spill if it occurs due to a“covered loss.” So if your sunkenboat wasn’t covered because theoutdrive bellows failed due towear, tear or corrosion, the result-ing fuel spill won’t be either.Sometimes fuel spill coverage issubtracted from other liabilitypayments. A better policy sepa-rates out fuel-spill liability andprovides coverage up to the maxi-mum amount you can be held li-able for under federal law, whichtoday is a whopping $854,000.

Salvage: Hurricanes lead thelist of most common claims from2008 to 2012. In every hurricane,boats get scattered and need to besalvaged and safely brought backto their storage area. That takescranes, travel lifts, flatbed trucks,and other heavy equipment that

typically costs hundreds of dollarsper foot of boat length. However,as a few boaters found out withHurricane Sandy, some policiessubtract the money paid to salvagethe boat from what you get paid tofix the boat, while others onlyoffer salvage coverage up to 25%or 30% of the insured value. A bet-ter policy provides separate sal-vage coverage up to the insuredvalue of the boat – in addition toany payments to fix the boat or re-place equipment.

Wreck removal: When fires,sinkings, hurricanes or running upon a shoal destroy your boat, youend up with a “wreck.” Mostboaters assume their insurancecompany will cover the cost ofcleaning up what’s left, but somepolicies will give you a check for

the insured value and only a spec-ified percentage for wreck re-moval – 3% to 10% is typical –and walk away. That leaves yourwallet short and you managing ajob you have little knowledge of.Better policies pay up to the lia-bility limit, usually $100,000 ormore, to clean up the mess, anddon’t let you go it alone.

Liability-only policies: Look-ing through the claims files, in-juries make the top ten list forpayouts not because of their fre-quency, but because settlementstend to be expensive. Having noinsurance could leave you open toa six-figure settlement. If you havea liability-only policy, the betterones will cover injuries as well assalvage, wreck removal and fuel-spill liability.

Inboard and outboard speed-boats will return to Devils Lake inLincoln City, on the Oregon coast,with hopes of setting new WorldStraightaway speed records at dis-tances of one kilometer and/or onequarter mile. The record runs willbegin at 8:00 a.m. and end at sun-set on each day. The annual TimeTrials, renewed after the success-ful Devils Lake cleanup, has beenheld annually since its inception inthe mid 1950’s. The event hasplaced Devils Lake and LincolnCity in the American PowerboatAssociations record book manytimes and has historically held theesteemed respect of having the“Worlds Fastest Water.”

Rockey Stone and John Myerswere legendary outboard boat racersin the Pacific Northwest and nation-wide. Both were strong supportersof this annual event, and with theirfamilies put in many, many hours ofwork making it happen. We arepleased to be able to honor theirservice to boat racing. This event isa true test of entrants driving skillplus the integrity of the combinedset-up of the boat, motor and pro-peller. Calm water conditions are anecessity, as each driver will be run-ning quality equipment with sensi-tive set-ups to maximize speed.

The annual Devil’s Lake TimeTrials is sanctioned and insured bythe American Power Boat Associa-tion, and is officiated and conductedby Northwest area power boat racingclubs, led by the Columbia OutboardRacing Association based in Port-land. Time Trial rules call for adriver, competing against a timeclock, to pilot his boat through a kilo-meter (5/8th of a mile) or quartermile surveyed straightaway course.Each entry will receive six runs, threein each direction. The test shall con-sist of two consecutive runs, one ofwhich shall be made in one directionand one in the opposite direction.The overall speed is calculated byaveraging the best two runs.

Spectators are welcome to signan insurance waiver and walkaround the staging area at EastDevils Lake State Park boat ramp.Devils Lake will be closed fromnorth of Sand Point to south of the

East Devils Lake State Park launchramp during the event each day.(These closures have been ap-proved by Oregon Parks andRecreation and the Oregon StateMarine Board.) The public is in-vited to East Devils Lake StatePark to view the racing and tomeet the drivers and crew. Formore information, contact BuzzThorsen 503-649-4064 or AllenThorsen 503-538-3266.

Devils Lake, the “World’s Fastest Water.”


Last month, we discussed “bar-ring over” the older marine dieselas a quick initial check of the en-gine’s internal condition. Slowlyturning the crankshaft in the en-gine's direction of rotation for twocomplete revolutions reveals anyresistance higher than the engine'snormal compression. Unusuallyhigh resistance ( sticking, jerking,etc.) indicates potentially seriousproblems requiring investigationbefore attempting to start the en-gine. If the engine “bars,” we nextcheck for adequate oil, raw water,coolant, and fuel levels. If theselevels are adequate to operate theengine for a few minutes, we thenattempt a test start.

Most older marine diesel en-gines are “naturally aspirated four-stroke” engines. The starter motorsequence rotates or cranks the en-gine to about 200 rpm, beginningthe “compression ignition” se-quence of pulling (“inducing”) airinto the cylinders (the intakestroke), then compressing the airto as little as 5% of the its originalvolume, which pressurizes the airto at least 400 psi, and heats the airto more than 900 degrees F. in thecompression stroke.

Diesel fuel is injected into thecylinder and instantly ignites,pushing the piston back down (thepower stroke). Finally, the pistonreturns to the top of the cylinder,pushing the exhaust gases fromthe cylinder (the exhaust stroke).Once begun, this “diesel cycle”continues indefinitely. Idling at600 rpm for only a minute effec-tively tests the intake system,

cylinder compression, powertrain,fuel and exhaust systems hundredsof times.

However, before test-startingthe engine, we check four fluidlevels-oil, water, coolant and fuel.The most important is engine oil.During only a few minutes of testrunning, the engine must be ade-quately lubricated to avoid dam-age or destruction. Since oldermarine diesels do not generate ad-equate heat to require cooling dur-ing the first few minutes ofoperation, the oil need not serve acooling function. Thus, we simplycheck the engine oil level.

Checking engine oil on a ma-rine diesel is similar to checkingthe engine oil level on a passengercar, but complicated by simply lo-cating and accessing the dipstick. (Tip: check the Owner’s Manual.)For example, we recently serviceda vessel with a Yanmar 2QM (atwo cylinder diesel popular in sail-boats from 1977 to 1980) installedso closely to the side of the enginecompartment that the owner couldnot reach the dipstick!

While checking the dipstick,we check for the tell-tale “milk-shake” appearance of emulsifiedwater contamination or the char-acteristic smell of diesel fuel con-tamination. Noticeable water orfuel contamination will not pro-vide sufficient lubricity for a teststart. If contaminated, we simplychange the oil. Later, if the teststart is successful, we institute aregular oil maintenance program (oil and filter change, oil analysis,etc. ).

After verifying adequate oil,we turn our attention to the secondmost important fluid—raw cool-ing water. On a marine diesel, theraw water system typically pumps“raw” water ( seawater or fresh-water from outside the vessel)using a positive displacementpump with a flexible impellermade of either neoprene or nitrile.The impeller is lubricated andcooled solely by the inflowing rawwater. “If the raw water stops,”notes marine diesel technicianMarcus Halsell, “the impeller willburn up.” After some four decadesof working on marine diesels, ma-rine diesel mechanic Hugh Brockconfirms the single most commonfailure is the raw water impeller.The impeller drying and crackingwith age is one of many problemsof neglected engines. “Neglect,”explains Brock, “is the numberone underlying cause of marinediesel failure.”

Despite the impeller’s inherentproblems, we do not usually re-place or even check the impeller atthis stage. Instead, we simplywatch ( in Brock’s case, listen ) forraw water from the exhaust outlet.Exhaust water indicates the im-peller is sufficiently intact to pumpraw water through the system. “Onolder engines,” moreover, “rawwater pumps are a can of worms”explains Halsell “once we removethe raw water impeller cover plate,we’ll probably have to buy and re-place the impeller, impeller gasketor O-ring,” a process which caneasily add an hour delay and an-other $150.00 or more to our ini-

tial assessment. We do check theraw water seacock. To insure theseacock is able to fully open—aswell as quickly close during thetest start we open and close theseacock several times—obeyingBrock’s mandate to “always insurethe watertight integrity of thehull.” If the seacock is seizedclosed, we simply disconnect theraw water hose from the seacockand put the end of the hose in aplastic bucket filled with water.

Next, we check for enginecoolant. We check the coolant di-rectly at the pressure cap with agloved finger, as plastic coolant-overflow tanks are frequently bro-ken on older marine diesels. Sincethe engine will not need coolingduring the test start, we do this asa precaution because coolant canbe easily overlooked during laterengine testing. If the coolant levelis low, we add distilled water.Later, our complete cooling serv-ice (flushing, coolant tank testing,etc.) will include the manufac-turer’s specified coolant.

Lastly, we check for fuel. Theengine may need a surprisinglysmall amount of fuel for test start-ing. Yanmar 2QM owners, for ex-ample, typically use 1/2 gallon-per-hour at cruising speed. Evenan 8 gallon-per-hour engine onlyuses about a pint of fuel in oneminute. We first check the fuelgauge. If it is broken or missing,then we look for fuel in the lowerportion of the primary water-sepa-rating fuel filter ( most commonlyRacor brand.) If the primary fuelfilter is not a “clear bowl type” oris missing, etc., then we will open,or “crack” a high pressure fuel lineto manually pump the fuel systemto check for fuel at the loosenedfitting. If the fuel system is thenewer common-rail types used onsome engines since the late-1990’s, however, the high pressurefuel lines should not be opened!Pressures in common-rail highpressure lines can exceed 30,000PSI. “At those pressures,” Halselldryly notes, “you could be killed.”Instead, diesel technicians rely onelectronic diagnostic tools.

Fuel quality, on the other hand,is not a concern during a test start.Almost all older diesel fuel tanksare contaminated with water,dirt (silica), micro-organisms, etc.Since even aged fuel has an igni-tion point of no more than 550 de-grees F., ( well below the cylindertemperature of some 900 degreesF.) and the engine is equipped withprimary water-separating filters,contamination does not prevent atest start. “Hugh and I have starteddiesels with fuel that has been sit-ting in tanks for years with noproblems,” reports Halsell. Thelower injection pressures on olderdiesels reduces the risk of watercontamination damaging or de-stroying injector tips. But thehigher injection pressure of thenewer common rail systems is oneof the many reasons we follow adifferent test procedure for thenewer engines. If in doubt, wesimply drain the primary fuel fil-ter of any accumulated water.

Air contamination, on the otherhand, can prevent the engine fromtest starting. Air, being compress-ible, prevents the fuel from pres-suring and opening the injectornozzles. As Brock puts it, “fuelpumps are lazy and would ratherpump air than fuel.” If in doubt,we purge (“bleed”) the fuel sys-tem. We will sometimes substituteour own diesel fuel container forthe vessel’s fuel tank. While thesesteps are often the most time-con-suming aspect of the pre-startchecks, fuel is the heart of theolder marine diesel engine. Aftersome 40 years of working on ma-rine diesels, Brock sums up thekey to their operation as “fuel,fuel, fuel; if the darned thing’s gotfuel, it’ll run.”

Finally, we are ready to teststart the engine. Although someengines are designed for andequipped with a hand crank for anextended, faster “barring over” toreach the required 200 rpm ormore cranking speed, sometimes,hand cranking is impossible. Sowe rely on the ignition system.On the Yanmar 2QM describedabove, the engine's instrumentcluster had been installed tooclosely to the front of the engine,preventing the emergency handcrank from making a full revolu-tion, thus rendering the engine’swell-designed hand crank useless.

If the engine cranks, starts andidles for a minute or so, then theignition circuit, cranking circuit,air intake system, fuel system,cylinders, power train, and exhaustsystem are all functioning suffi-ciently to initiate and continue thediesel cycle. We then address anyrepair or maintenance issues. Re-pairing an older marine dieselpropulsion engine or generatorwill often be less expensive, trou-blesome and personally satisfyingthan replacing the engine.

Next month, we’ll discuss whatto do if the engine is in a “nocrank, no start condition”—orwhat Brock terms “turning the keyand nothing happening.”
