Before the terms of the new law were clarified, however, visiting yachtsmen feared that as owners of “foreign-flagged vessels”, they might also be expected to pay the tax. On September 21st, the tax office in Puerto La Cruz confirmed to Carlos Vázquez C., General Manager of Bahia Redonda Marina, that foreign-flagged boats Info belonging to foreign citizens (or boats in transit) are NOT required to pay the new one-percent tax.

This area is now an exclusion one percent of a vessel’s value would now be charged obtaining revenue from Venezuelan ship owners who zone as designated by the Grenada Ports Authority. This action has been necessary to allow barge traffic to move safely between various locations on the site. All vessels are being asked to stay clear of the marked areas, where no anchoring is allowed. Access from the shore side of the Lagoon to the sea will remain open, however all boat operators are urged to operate at very slow speeds and stay clear of all barges. Construction is expected to continue until December 1st. US Weather Service Proposes Marine Zone Changes The US National Weather Service has proposed changing its offshore zoning system for weather fore- casts. The Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch pro- duces offshore forecasts for the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and Southwest North Atlantic. According to the service’s website, the current off- shore zones are too large to describe many local weather impacts. These zones cover very large areas that include reefs, islands, and channels, as well as coastlines with rugged terrain. This complex geogra- phy is often the cause of localized but significant weather impacts. The large sizes of the current fore- cast areas equate to fairly low-precision forecasts. But if more detail were added to the forecast text, it would be overly complex and difficult to understand. —Continued on next page In Venezuela, the new yacht tax does not apply to visitors, but there have been recent reports of visiting yachts being checked for compliance with clearance and cruising-permit regulations Port Louis Marina – another great reason to visit Grenada OCTOBER 2009 CARIBBEAN COMPASS PAGE 6 Grenada remains one of the

M.Eng. report, Department of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering Technical Report No. 254, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, 81 pp. ABSTRACT Hydrographic offices have made an important effort to turn all their issued traditional nautical publications into digital formats. Many nautical publications are now available in digital formats. While useful, most of them are just digital versions of printed publications. This report is concerned with one of the most important publications for the navigator, Sailing Directions. A real improvement in the value to users of this publication can be performed by means of adding digital multimedia features.

  • Handling Storms at Sea : the Five Secrets of Heavy Weather Sailing
    HANDLING STORMS AT SEA Overleaf: What is blue-water sailing really like when it’s stormy and big seas are running? Here’s my Santa Cruz 50 hurrying eastward near Marion Island in the Southern Ocean. The ever-faithful windvane is steering nicely while I play with the mainsail reefs and adjust the sails as the boat races through the water and makes great whooshing sounds as she surfs forward on a wave. You know that the yacht will rise up as the next crest comes, but sometimes you wonder if she is buoyant enough. You take a deep breath and say a silent prayer.
