Commodore’s Column (concludes): My Memories . . . ~ In Dedication to Muriel Powers and Carl Sidle ~
Carl Sidle On February 28, PTYC Life Member Carl Sidle passed away peacefully at his home. While Carl was known for flipping his famous home-made pancakes on club cruises, always having ice cream onboard Shoshonna, “working” the PTYC crab feed and pricing “guy stuff” items for the annual garage sale. I will always remember him at a certain dinner at the club. We were sitting across the table from Carl and Sue, excitedly talking with Bill and Eileen about planning our first-ever cruise to Princess Lousia and Deslolation Sound, when Carl’s eyes lit up and he leaned in toward the conversation. “You’re going to Princess Lousia, you say? I’d sure like to go back up there one last time.” Well, the rest is history … and Jack and Barb also came along. We couldn’t have asked for more knowledgeable guides. Carl and Sue knew all the best marinas to stay, the history of every place we stopped, they gave us tips on navigating the Malibu Rapids, and shared their “secret” coves to anchor in at Desolation Sound. Carl commented that he had never seen so much water come over Chatterbox Falls, speculating it was due to the unsually warm, sunny spring day it was. Just being on the Salish Sea sharing friendship, adventures and stories was the highlight of that cruise. Oh, the stories that Shoshanna, Sunset, Sea Bee and Rain Shadow heard are memorable! We will miss you Carl. He leaves behind his wife, Sue. Once more on the deck I stand, of my own swift-gliding craft: Set sail! Commodore Debbie Farewell to the land! The gale blows fair abaft. ~Epes Sargent
Ahoy Fellow Sailor Carl, Sue and Family, The sunshine, reminds us of our shrimping days in the Hood Canal on Shoshanna. Oh, so deep the pots drop and need to be pulled up! We’d ask Carl what are you Chewing? His response, “Peel faster, we have a limit. Hurry”. Fun days. Bye treasured friend. We’ll miss Shoshanna in the nearby waters.

Recreational Boaters Association of Washington (RBAW) Report for March 2021
Lakebay Marina Update Great news in that while not finalized, the RBAW Marine Park Conservancy and the Department of Natural Resources has learned that our joint grant application for $1.776 million for funding the acquisition and planning for Lakebay Marina has been ranked #1 for a state agency project. There are still several hoops to pass through but we should know in late April once we get more stamps of approval. This was a major joint effort between RBAW and DNR that will take ownership of the project when the sales agreement is finalized. RBAW will continue to have input in the progress of the clean up and improvements that will be funded by additional grants and donations to come. Thanks to all who have donated to the cause. Please remember that the Marine Park Conservancy is a 501C3 non-profit corporation so any donations are tax deductible and donations can be earmarked for specific projects or donated for future projects which the Conservancy Board has already begun to consider to enhance our boating experiences in Washington State.
Give our Southern Resident Orcas More Space RBAW was delighted to hear about the new Orca baby in the SRKW population and teamed up with Northwest Maritime Trade Association and the Dept of Fish and Wildlife for a February 22 news release asking vessels to give the new calf extra space. The news release was sent to all members including our yacht club members.
A Win for Modification of SalesTaxes for Boaters (ESSB 5251) Buried in a technical tax bill was a provision, now removed by swift action by RBAW and NMTA, to change the point of local use taxation for boats entering Washington from the first port of entry (for example San Juan County) to where the boat is ultimately berthed or stored (possibly King County). This provision would have added many additional hundreds or thousands of dollars to the sales price if the taxation rate changed from San Juan County to King County, for example. Thanks also to San Juan County that put the wheels in motion once we alerted them about this provision.
Looking for Long Term Funding for the Derelict Vessel Removal Program RBAW continues to work with the Department of Natural Resources to explore long term funding for the removal of commercial vessels. Recreational boaters contribute $3 a year on vessel registration fees which go into the DVRP fund, however, the bulk of the money collected goes towards removal of commercial vessels which are only paying $1 per foot per year. Additional, but still insubstantial funding, comes from the Capital Budget which the legislature approves. Even with funding from the Capital Budget, what the commercial vessels pay doesn’t even come close to the money needed for their removal. Many times the cost of a commercial boat removal can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more. There are right now about 300 derelict vessels identified that need removal from our waterways and only a fraction of them will be removed due to lack of funding. (concludes on next page)

Recreational Boaters Association of Washington (RBAW) Report for March 2021 (concludes)
Also another problem now has been identified. Many people buy retired commercial vessels, many of which are in need of substantial repair, and have them re-identified as recreational vessels for registration purposes. This can save the owner on tax liability and ultimately less money paid into the DVRP fund. Sadly, new legislation that requires a showing of liability insurance by the seller for a vessel 35 feet and over, and over 40 years old, is not being complied with so this also adds to the unfunded removal problem if any of these boats are abandoned.

Recreational Boaters Association of Washington (RBAW) April 2021 Update
Transit through Canadian waters (as of 3/16/21 from the Canadian Border Services Agency website - https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/border#transit-alaska-us)
You currently cannot enter Canadian waters for optional reasons, such as: touring sightseeing pleasure fishing You may still navigate through international or Canadian waters while in transit directly from one place outside Canada to another place outside Canada, if the transit is: direct continuous/uninterrupted by the most reasonable route
Mandatory masks and physical distancing during transit Transiting travelers may only make essential stops along the way, including to use facilities, refuel or for essential supplies. You must follow physical distancing practices and wear a non- medical mask or face covering during these stops. Anchoring and quarantine requirements You may stop and anchor out of ordinary navigation, particularly if it becomes dangerous to navi- gate at night or if the crew must rest before safely continuing your trip. If you anchor to spend the night, you must quarantine on your vessel or boat. If this is not possible, you may quarantine at a hotel until you are ready to resume your trip. Reporting requirement if you land on Canadian soil If at any point a transiting vessel lands on Canadian soil, anchors, moors or comes alongside an- other vessel in Canadian waters, or if anyone onboard disembarks in Canada, the operator must report to the CBSA. You may not land for an optional reason. The CBSA and its law enforcement partners are actively monitoring Canadian waterways. If you fail to report to the CBSA, even if your purpose is non-discretionary (non-optional) such as to refuel, you may face severe penalties. Failure to report may also affect your immigration admissibility and ability to re-enter Canada in the future. Reduced services In response to COVID-19, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has temporarily reduced its service hours or temporarily suspended its services at some border crossings. Consult the CBSA website for Canadian open ports of entry and rules for checking in. Volume 121, Issue 4 Baggywrinkle Page 11

New Boat Engine Cutoff Switch Law Goes Into Effect April 1 Applies to boats less than 26 feet operating on plane or above displacement speed
SPRINGFIELD, Va., March 15, 2021 – There are new engine cutoff device wear requirements for recreational boat operators as part of the January 1, 2021, passage of National Defense Authorization Act that included a U.S. Coast Guard Reauthorization. These devices, commonly referred to as engine cutoff switches (ECOS), are designed to prevent a boat-strike injury if an operator is accidentally ejected overboard while underway.
Engine cutoff devices can be located at the helm of the boat or on the tiller or body of an outboard engine and typically connect a boat’s operator to the cutoff switch with a lanyard. Some ECOS devices eliminate the lanyard and rely on wireless proximity devices to shut down an engine if the operator goes overboard.
Effective April 1, 2021, the new law requires a vessel operator to use either a helm or outboard lanyard or wireless ECOS on certain vessels less than 26 feet when traveling on plane or above displacement speed. These vessels include (1) boats that have a functioning engine cutoff device installed at the helm or on an outboard engine or have wireless ECOS, or (2) boats manufactured beginning January 2020. The Coast Guard increased the number of boats required to have ECOS installed after this date in an effort to reduce boating accidents and fatalities. Exceptions to the ECOS requirement include if the main helm of the vessel is in an enclosed cabin or the vessel is not operating on plane or at displacement speed. Low-speed activities such as fishing or docking do not require use of an ECOS. The vessel operator is also exempt if the boat’s motor produces less than 115 lbs. of static thrust – or about the size of a 2-hp engine.
The new law applies to all federally navigable waterways. As this is a federal law, states do not have the ability to enforce the new ECOS regulation — though seven states (Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey and Texas) currently have their own ECOS laws. BoatUS expects most states to amend their regulations to match federal law over the coming years. While boat operators who fail to follow the new requirement could face a $100 civil penalty for the first offense, BoatUS expects the U.S. Coast Guard’s initial focus will be education. Boaters are encouraged to check the U.S. Coast Guard website for additional information on this new use requirement and other safety regulations and recommendations.
“BoatUS supports responsible use of cutoff devices and wants to get the word out to boaters to be aware of this new requirement so they can prepare,” said BoatUS Manager of Government Affairs David Kennedy. “We believe the new requirement allows recreational boaters to operate their vessels in a practical manner while increasing boating safety.”
Kennedy suggests that boat operators double check to see that their engine cutoff switch is working and begin the season by getting into a good habit of wearing it. ###

ALL PTYC EVENTS SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION/CHANGES DUE TO COVID-19 Page 18 Baggywrinkle April 2021 A Tribute to Muriel Powers Born 1/7/1952, Passed peacefully at home 2/21/2021 at age 69 On Sunday, February 21st, Muriel passed away at home, "Surrounded by Love," after a two year-long fight with lung cancer. During her final days, when we needed it the most, all of you were there, too—your heart-felt messages gave us solace, as we read each one aloud.
Instead of writing about life and death, I'd rather write about the memory of our love . . . because that's what sustains me now. During our 40+ year relationship, we were fortunate enough to know True Love—having a sincere desire to consider each other's emotional needs, as more important than our own.. Muriel had (and I believe still has) the capacity to feel that way toward everyone. And that feeling was so often returned.
For instance, years ago, she led an aerobics class inside a state prison. When she got home after her first day on the job, I asked her how it went. She said, "It went really well". I asked, "Were you all alone on the cell block"? She gave me a strange look and said, "Oh no, I was with 50 male inmates". (I immediately thought, "That was such a 'Muriel thing' to say"). Then I asked, "Weren't you a little scared"? She replied, in a matter-of-fact way, "No. It's the safest place I ever worked. The inmates made it clear that if anyone messed with me, he'd be killed". (I wasn't sure if that made me feel better or not). But I understood that the inmates saw the same things in Muriel that everyone who knew her has seen: The happiness that comes with having a free spirit, humility when things don't go as planned and the sincere desire to make the world a better place, one person at a time.
In addition to annual trips to Maui, Muriel enjoyed sailing our local waters aboard Sea Dream, hosting her in PTYC’s Open Boat at Boat Haven and joining our Opening Day Boat Parade and cruises.
Volume 121, Issue 4 Baggywrinkle Page 19 And then there was her music....Muriel's style of playing the autoharp has been described as intense, or dream-like, depending on the song, but always passionate. She took great pride in demonstrating how many different genres of music could be played on the instrument. Other harpists say they were inspired not only by how she played, but what she played. By doing so, she exposed other musicians to various methods to freely explore ways to "play outside the box." Here is a link to Muriel’s unique version of Amazing Grace. She was so thrilled to fulfill her goal of recording a CD of her mellow instrumental music. Please contact John if you want a copy. Cruising PTYC Members enjoyed numerous performances at several of our events.
PTYC Members may recall Muriel’s concern for the environment. She was one of the first to show up to pot- luck gatherings with her own table ware—a format the Club has long since adopted. She also headed numerous PTYC Garage Sales, to build our Scholarship Fund and substantially increased proceeds year after year. She regularly attended our Earth Day clean-up projects at local State Marine Parks. Just last year, she discovered a way to dispose of her remains in a way that has less impact on the earth and doesn't add to global warming. It's a new process called "aqua-cremation" or "aquamation", which uses chemicals instead of fire. Even after death, she wanted to do whatever she could for our environment.
Muriel cast off the lines that bound her to this world. We both believe that she was well prepared for this journey. Her vessel is filled with love and music, which she's ready to share with those who have already departed and with those she meets along the way. More than 20 years of spiritual studies helped her chart a good course for a life well-lived. This gives me great comfort, because it represents our life together: We filled our reservoir with love, when times were good. Then we drew love out, when times were hard . . . giving us the strength we needed to weather any storm.
“Now I'm happy to know that Muriel is jammin' with the angels.” John Powers

"Northern Comfort" is a true NW boat built for comfort and our unpredictable weather (inside and outside helms). She is currently at Port Hadlock, but will have the option of moving to a Port Townsend berth in the future. Our preference is for someone to take a 1/2 share, but we are open to other options. After an initial buy-in, each partner would equally share all maintenance, repairs and improvements, along with monthly or annual expenses.
We have been in boat partnerships before, and know what is required to have a successful partnership. We have also owned a number of boats before and know the required maintenance and upkeep. "Northern Comfort" is completely cruise-ready. She is well maintained, in superb condition, with lots of features and equipment to add to your sailing ease and comfort.
