  • BILL NORRIE, BCA Member As the 2020 Recipient
    BEN RUSI SEAMANSHIP AWARD NOMINATION - 2020 As per its description on the BCA website and in the BCA Member Directory, the Ben Rusi Seamanship Award “recognises outstanding acts of seamanship by individuals or groups, for single, multiple, or extended feats demonstrating a level of courage, determination, citizenship, and discipline to which all Bluewater cruisers should aspire.” This year, I nominate BILL NORRIE, BCA member as the 2020 recipient. His epic, east-about, single-handed circumnavigation via the five Great Capes of the Southern Ocean aboad his beloved 28’ Bristol Channel Cutter, Pixie, will go down in the annals of Bluewater Cruising as he put his skills, resourcefulness, adaptability and fears to the ultimate test and lived to tell the tale. Herewith a few details of his journey and the fastidious preparations that preceded his departure from Victoria on August 31, 2019 and led to his safe return one year later: Dates - August 31, 2019 to September 2, 2020 Total length of passage - 29,000nm Total length of passage at sea in days - 314 days Total length of passage at sea + in port - 366 days Stops Enroute - Gambier (French Polynesia), Tiera Del Fuego Isla Hershel, Port Stanley (Falklands Islands), Cape Town SA , and Lyttleton NZ Preparation Bill’s preparation for the circumnavigation was thorough and substantial; his over-riding goal being the safe completion of his long-held dream to circumnavigate via the southern capes. In the words of his wife, Cathy, who stood alongside him the entire way (and is equally deserving of BCA recognition): “We took a defensive posture from the beginning in buying Pixie, a Bristol Channel Cutter 28 which is an ultimate heavy weather boat.

  • The Illustrated Edition
    the illustrated edition [dedication] To the one who said: “The Spray will come back.” SAILING ALONE AROUND THE WORLD JOSHUA SLOCUM INTRODUCTION BY GEOFFREY WOLFF INTRODUCTION BY GEOFFREY WOLFF THE WEATHER WAS MILD ON THE DAY OF MY DEPARTURE FROM Gloucester. On the point ahead, as the Spray stood out of the cove, was a lively picture, for the front of a tall factory was a flutter of hand- kerchiefs and caps. Pretty faces peered out of the windows from the top to the bottom of the building, all smiling bon voyage. Some hailed me to know where away and why alone. Why? When I made as if to stand in, a hundred pairs of arms reached out, and said come, but the shore was dangerous! The sloop worked out of the bay against a light southwest wind, and about noon squared away off Eastern Point, receiving at the same time a hearty salute—the last of many kindnesses to her at Gloucester. The wind freshened off the point, and skipping along smoothly, the Spray was soon off Thatcher’s Island lights. Thence shaping her course east, by compass, to go north of Cashes Ledge and the Amen Rocks, I sat and considered the matter all over again, and asked myself once more whether it were best to sail beyond the ledge and rocks at all. —From Chapter II, Sailing Alone Around the World This photograph shows a replica of the Spray built by boat designer R. D. (Pete) Culler, who lived aboard the craft for twenty years with his wife, Toni.

  • Lunar Distances Final
    A (NOT SO) BRIEF HISTORY OF LUNAR DISTANCES: LUNAR LONGITUDE DETERMINATION AT SEA BEFORE THE CHRONOMETER Richard de Grijs Department of Physics and Astronomy, Macquarie University, Balaclava Road, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia Email: [email protected] Abstract: Longitude determination at sea gained increasing commercial importance in the late Middle Ages, spawned by a commensurate increase in long-distance merchant shipping activity. Prior to the successful development of an accurate marine timepiece in the late-eighteenth century, marine navigators relied predominantly on the Moon for their time and longitude determinations. Lunar eclipses had been used for relative position determinations since Antiquity, but their rare occurrences precludes their routine use as reliable way markers. Measuring lunar distances, using the projected positions on the sky of the Moon and bright reference objects—the Sun or one or more bright stars—became the method of choice. It gained in profile and importance through the British Board of Longitude’s endorsement in 1765 of the establishment of a Nautical Almanac. Numerous ‘projectors’ jumped onto the bandwagon, leading to a proliferation of lunar ephemeris tables. Chronometers became both more affordable and more commonplace by the mid-nineteenth century, signaling the beginning of the end for the lunar distance method as a means to determine one’s longitude at sea. Keywords: lunar eclipses, lunar distance method, longitude determination, almanacs, ephemeris tables 1 THE MOON AS A RELIABLE GUIDE FOR NAVIGATION As European nations increasingly ventured beyond their home waters from the late Middle Ages onwards, developing the means to determine one’s position at sea, out of view of familiar shorelines, became an increasingly pressing problem.

  • The Lookout of the Labor Movement."
    The Coast Seamen's Union, which was to become the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, AFL-CIO, was founded on March 6, 1885, with a call for labor organization - the "Sailors' Declaration of Independence" -from a lumber pile on the Folsom Street Wharf in San Francisco. California: A Meeting Place The maritime exploration of the California littoral began with the conquest of Mexico by the Spanish. The conquistador Hernan Cortes marched to the Gulf of California, and the peninsula of Lower (Baja) California was soon extensively colonized by Spanish church missions, first administered by the Jesuits, and then by the Dominicans. The coast of Upper (Alta) California remained more or less neglected until the end of the 18th century, when the Russians, having established their Siberian imperial enterprise, began voyaging into the Pacific. In response to the threatened capture of the California Indians by the Russian Orthodox rather than the Catholic faith, the Spanish in Mexico decreed the establishment of mis sions and military outposts, or presidios, north from San Diego to San Francisco Bay. Missionary activities in Upper California were directed by the Franciscans. As noted by author Richard Henry Dana, by the 1830's the California coast, then controlled by the independent government of the Mexican Republic, was the scene of a thriving trade in hides and tallow, with the merchants of Boston trading in American bottoms. As early as the 17805, Boston navigators had sailed the Northwest Coast, opening the U.S. fur trade. With discovery of the "Japan grounds" in the 18205, American whalers started penetrating the Pacific, flocking by the hundreds, years before the Gold Rush, to Lahaina and Honolulu.

  • Kris Larsen and Kehaar
    Hall of Fame - Kris Larsen By Graham Cox Kris Larsen: 1954 - In 1898, Joshua Slocum completed the first solo circumnavigation of the world aboard Spray, his 36ft, engineless, gaff-rigged yawl. Spray was an extremely basic craft, rebuilt by Joshua from a wreck, using hand tools. He mostly worked alone, with very little capital, in a paddock under a tree. He not only made history but pioneered a way of life. This way of life took some time to develop – it was 21 years before Harry Pidgeon became the second person to circumnavigate alone aboard his home-built Islander – but the idea that people of modest means, in equally modest boats, often home-built, could live aboard and extensively voyage the oceans of the world, either solo or short-handed, took hold of the public imagination. Thus began what could be called the Slocum era of ocean voyaging, and it continued almost without change for more than 70 years. By the 1980s, this era began to rapidly disappear. Increasing bureaucracy, technological advances, marinas, and the politics of a post-colonial world all but eliminated penniless vagabonds aboard simple boats from the crossroads of the sea. The perceived wisdom today is that you need a significant amount of money to cruise, both to finance the sophisticated Kris Larsen in Kehaar yachts considered necessary, and to cover running costs. soon made English his fifth language. He studied the However, a few stalwarts of the old school remain, great poets and philosophers at university. Despite capable of living by their wits.
