It is largely anecdotal, while the views expressed are those of the individual contributors and are not necessarily shared nor endorsed by the OCC or its members. The material in this journal may be inaccurate or out-of-date – you rely upon it at your own risk. Cover Photo: Seamogs on a mooring in St Lucia – see ‘Vigo to Virginia: Seamogs and the Prudent Mariners’, page 27. Photo Emily Rawlings 2 This Flying Fish, my 58th as editor, marks something of a watershed. My predecessor David Wallis, after whom the Trophy is named (see page 6), founded our Journal in 1964, with a flying fish on the cover but no formal name. The first issue contained 46 pages and was printed in London, even though David worked at the Chaucer Press, a major book publisher near Cambridge. By the early 1970s – and now displaying the familiar logo on the cover – it was being printed in South Wales near where the Secretary kept his boat. It then moved first to a company in Norfolk and then to one in Hertfordshire, but in the late 1980s Derrick Bettiss, a colleague of David’s, started up a small independent printing company and David naturally put some work his friend’s way. Thus the past 62 issues, spanning more than 30 years, have been printed by Bungay Printers in Suffolk. Sadly David died in 1990. He was a brave and stoic man, unwilling to admit how ill he was, with the result that there was no-one on standby to take over. I offered to do one issue (1990/2) on a trial basis, and found that I enjoyed editing members’ articles and then laying-out the galleys (strips of printed text) and bromides (final size photos converted into monochrome) on pre-printed layout sheets. Perhaps partly in self-defence, as well as to assist this total novice, Derrick and his team were helpfulness itself and a very special relationship developed. This continued after Derrick retired and Tony Grimwood joined John Pettit to run the business. By the late 1990s I was seeking their advice about creating the Fish on computer, soon followed by the challenge of colour photos. Even now it would be rare for an issue to go to press without several phone calls. Although I’m sure our new printers will be fine,fine xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI shall really miss working with Tony and John – thank you both for your help and support over so many years! Anne, Editor Tony does the techie side... ... while John runs the machines Back to the future, and the DEADLINE for submissions for Flying Fish 2019/2 is Tuesday 1st October, though I’d appreciate receiving your articles and photos several weeks earlier if possible. 3 THE 2018 AWARDS In accordance with OCC tradition, the 2018 Awards were presented at the Annual Dinner, held this year at the Sport Wales National Outdoor Centre at Plas Menai in North Wales on Saturday 6th April. A capacity crowd of 90 members were present though sadly only three Award winners, plus one relative, were able to attend in person. As in previous years, Topsail Insurance provided generous support towards the cost of the event. Past Commodore Bill McLaren was an outstanding Master of Ceremonies. His notes were invaluable when compiling the following summary, as was the information collected from Awardees by Vice Master of Ceremonies Bill McLaren Commodore and OCC PR Officer Daria Blackwell. Photos taken at the Dinner are by Alex Blackwell, Regional RC Ireland, and by your editor (who much prefers to be behind a camera than in front of one). Finally, thanks are due to Fiona Jones and Eoin Robson, co-chairs of the Awards Sub-committee, and to both Fiona and Chris, Regional RCs GB, for organising such an enjoyable weekend, details of which will be found in the accompanying Newsletter. Further details of the history and criteria for each award will be found at https:// oceancruisingclub.org/Awards. THE QUALIFIER’S MUG Presented by Admiral (then Commodore) Mary Barton and first awarded in 1993, the Qualifier’s Mug recognises the most ambitious or arduous qualifying voyage published by a member in print or online, or submitted to the OCC for future publication. Celebrating Christmas aboard Seamogs in Lanzarote. Left to right: James, Tyler, Emily, Guy and Lydie 4 The Qualifier’s Mug for 2018 went to New Zealander James McGaughan, skipper of Seamogs, for the passage described on page 27 of this issue. Vigo to Virginia: Seamogs and the Prudent Mariners is an enjoyable account of a passage from northwest Spain to St Lucia via the Canaries by a young and inexperienced crew – none of the five had made an ocean passage before – in a family-owned Nicholson 48. They suffer the usual gear failures and malfunctions along the way, and though James is modest and good-humoured throughout, he and his crew are clearly both competent and resourceful. They also appear to be a happy crew, who work well as a team and thoroughly enjoy the whole experience – other than getting mugged Emily and ‘Captain’ James in St Lucia, though even running the barbecue that is treated as a learning experience. Their interaction with local children while moored off The Pitons is vividly described and will resonate with many OCC members. On learning that he’d won the Qualifier’s Mug, James wrote: “Good evening. Unfortunately for me I am unable to join you all this evening as by the time this is read out I will most likely be bobbing along happily somewhere in the Sargasso Sea.” (He later explained that he’d be sailing Seamogs from the Caribbean back to the US East Coast for hurricane season.) “A big thanks goes, of course, to the crew members who joined me aboard Seamogs on the Vigo to Virginia trip. They contributed more than their fair share of mischief but they were also patient, strong, hardworking and fantastic shipmates.

  • “Samothraki Biosphere Reserve Nomination Form”
    “Samothraki Biosphere Reserve Nomination form” Final Official Document - Resubmission September 2013 UNESCO - Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme - Biosphere reserve nomination form - January 2013 1 BIOSPHERE RESERVE NOMINATION FORM [January 2013] INTRODUCTION Biosphere reserves are areas of terrestrial and coastal/marine ecosystems, or a combination thereof, which are internationally recognized within the framework of UNESCO's Programme on Man and the Biosphere (MAB) They are established to promote and demonstrate a balanced relationship between humans and the biosphere. Biosphere reserves are designated by the International Coordinating Council of the MAB Programme at the request of the State concerned. Individual biosphere reserves remain under the sovereign jurisdiction of the State where they are situated. Collectively, all biosphere reserves form a World Network in which participation by States is voluntary. The World Network is governed by the Statutory Framework adopted by the UNESCO General Conference in 1995 which presents the definition, objectives, criteria and the designation procedure for biosphere reserves. The actions recommended for the implementation of biosphere reserves are set out in the "Seville Strategy" and were further developed in the Madrid Action Plan (2008-2013). These documents should be used as basic references for the completion of this nomination form. The information presented on this nomination form will be used in a number of ways by UNESCO: (a) for examination of the site by the International Advisory Committee for Biosphere Reserves and by the Bureau of the MAB International Coordinating Council; (b) for use in a world-wide accessible information system, notably the UNESCO-MABnet and publications, facilitating communications and interaction amongst persons interested in biosphere reserves throughout the world.
