This guide is a resource by and for sailors crossing from the Americas to points in the Pacific, with a focus on the South Pacific. The Pacific Puddle Jump Passage Guide is a continuous work in progress. The 2009 Pacific Puddle Jumpers based in Marina Riviera Nayarit, La Cruz have updated and reorganized it to hopefully be more user friendly. It is specifically formatted for online usage (or downloading), with many resources identified through links. As such, the paper version will only list the links for additional information. The 2009 version of this manual is also available on the Pacific Puddle Jump Yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pacificpuddlejump/ - an online resource for Puddle Jumpers. If you are interested in being added to this group, just click the “Join the Group” link and provide your information. Remember - this book is a guide. Enjoy the information; update as you go. And, if you can, send updates back to next year’s group! 8 Chapter 2- Route Planning CHAPTER OVERVIEW: • Don on Summer Passage- Mexican Ports to Marquesas • Pre-Hurricane Season Tropical Disturbances Along The ITCZ in The Northeast Pacific • Hurricane Holes • Notes from Jimmy Cornell • Coconut Milk-Run notes on weather and routes • El Nino & La Nina • ITCZ Explanation Puddle Jump • A Suggested Route for the Marquesas from Steve on Kavenga • Pacific Light List 2006; Pub 111 • Puddle Jump Crossing Times 2005 & 2006 • Routing to New Zealand from Tonga • Sailing-By-Color: Reading Tropical Waters by Their Color 2 Mexican Ports to Marquesas Optimum Track and Timing Notes by Donald J. Anderson; Valiant 47 “SUMMER PASSAGE “ Oxnard/Ventura, California; Updated February 2009 Best Time The best time to take passage Mexico to the Marquesas is March 15 through April. The reasons are: 1. One arrives in French Polynesia after cyclone season. 2. One departs long before the Northeast Pacific hurricane season that begins May 15. 3. During the spring the northwest winds along the outside of the Baja peninsular are more reliable and extend as far south as Socorro Island. They blend smoothly into the northeast trades at about 125W. At other times it can be 600 miles of light and variable winds from Central Mexico to the NE trades. Optimum Track Most vessels take their departure from Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta or Zihuatanejo. Their first landfall is usually Atuona on the Island of Hiva Oa because it is the shortest distance. My preference is Taiohae Bay on Nuku Hiva because the bay is large and beautiful and is never crowded unless a rally from Europe takes it over. The great circle distances to Atuona are: Cabo San Lucas 2603 Puerto Vallarta 2704 Zihuatanejo 2765 While the great circle or rhumb line route is the shortest distance, taking this route rarely makes the fastest passages under sail. The reason is that the passage passes through four significantly different weather systems. They are: 1. The Northeast Pacific High. 2. The Northeast Trades. 3. The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), often the doldrums. 4. The Southeast Trades. The fastest and most comfortable passages therefore depend largely on how one plays these weather systems. The most important consideration in developing one’s strategy is to minimize one’s exposure to the ITCZ where winds are fickle, squally and fraught with scattered moderate to strong thunderstorm cells.

  • Stingray Bay: Media Kit
    STINGRAY BAY: MEDIA KIT Stingray Bay has been the talk of the town! What is it? Columbus Zoo and Aquarium guests and members will now have the opportunity to see stingrays up close and to touch these majestic creatures! The Stingray Bay experience will encourage visitors to interact with the Zoo’s brand new school of stingrays by watching these beautiful animals “fly” through the water and dipping their hands in the water to come in contact with them. Where is located? Located in Jungle Jack’s Landing near Zoombezi Bay, Stingray Bay will feature an 18,000-gallon saltwater pool for stingrays to call home. Staff and volunteers will monitor the pool, inform guests about the best ways to touch the animals and answer questions when the exhibit opens daily at 10 a.m. What types of stingrays call Stingray Bay home? Dozens of cownose and southern stingrays will glide though the waters of Stingray Bay. Educational interpreters will explain the role of these stingrays in the environment. Stingrays are typically bottom feeders with molar-like teeth used to crush the shells of their prey such as crustaceans, mollusks, and other invertebrates. I’m excited to touch the stingrays, but is it safe? Absolutely! The rays barbs have been carefully trimmed off their whip-like tails. The painless procedure is similar to cutting human fingernails. Safe for all ages, the landscaped pool features a waterfall and a wide ledge for toddlers to lean against when touching the rays. This sounds cool! How much does it cost? Admission to Stingray Bay is free for Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Gold Members and discounted for Members.

  • Building the Lighthouse on Montague
    SELF-GUIDED TOUR 2 BUILDING THE LIGHT This self-guided tour focuses on the construction of the Lighthouse on Montague Island - in particular the work of the stonemasons. PERHAPS BEGIN THIS TOUR SITTING ON THE STEPS LEADING UP TO THE TOWER... LOOK... at the tower: • Observe how it “grows” from the rock... • Appreciate its proportions suggesting strength, durability and watchfulness. • Notice the courses of blocks, the windows, the overhangs, the balcony and the lantern room at the top. CONSIDER... This Lighthouse has been operating continuously since 1881 - staffed until September 1986, and then automatically since 1986. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) now maintains the tower and light, totally funded by the shipping and insurance industries. GUIDE TO YOUR TOUR SIGNIFICANT DATES: 1873 Decision for a “First Order, Fixed and Flashing Light” on Montague Island 1877 Monies allocated within NSW budget – James Barnet, Colonial Architect, designs the lighthouse and buildings. 1878 – October Tenders let – Musson and Co wins the tender. 1879 – June? Musson surrenders his contract 1880 – July Fresh tenders called – William H. Jennings of Sydney wins the tender. 1880 – September Visitors impressed with Jennings’ Progress. 1881 – October Work completed by Jennings, 4 months ahead of schedule. 1881 – November 1st Lighthouse is formally opened by the NSW Marine Board THE DESIGN OF THE LIGHT STATION AND TOWER. James Barnet, the Colonial Architect from 1865 to 1890, was responsible for some 15 lighthouses in NSW, in particular during the period 1875-1885. Other lighthouses he designed include the Macquarie Light on Sydney’s south head, after Greenway’s tower experienced problems; Cape Byron; Norah Head; and the nearby Greencape light, south of Eden.

  • FIJI Cyclone Gavin
    FIJI- Cyclone Gavin 07 March 1996 Information Bulletin The context As of 1500 Fiji time on Friday, Cyclone Gavin was directly over the Yasawa Group of islands in the South Pacific. The path expected is southward to within 50 kilometres of Nadi, the major international airport for Fiji. The intensity continues with winds up to 240 kilometres per hour. Severe wind and storm surge damage is expected along the west coast of Viti Levu island. Red Cross/Red Crescent action The Fiji Red Cross is on alert and has reported that, in Suva, power poles and lines are down, with some streets impassable because of fallen trees. Flooding has occurred in low lying areas. Wind gusts are expected to be over 100 kms/hour. As of this morning, Rotuma island had not suffered too badly with some roofs blown off but it is now safe. The second largest island, Vanua Levu, appears to have suffered a lot with wind damage and severe flooding. The Red Cross branch is out of contact but reports indicate that they are distributing relief goods. A total of 41 evacuation centres have been opened on Vanua Levu but the power is out. The Fiji Red Cross will keep the Federation informed of further developments. The Federation Regional Delegation in Sydney has been in touch with the New Zealand Red Cross who have an experienced delegate on stand-by to conduct a possible assessment mission.

  • Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
    Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M. Grundlingh Co-supervisor: Prof. Sandra S. Swart Marc 2015 0 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.
