Commander’s Message Kathy Nash, AP

Happy Autumn! It is truly beginning to feel like the end of our boating season is approaching. While sailors are enjoying the wind and fishing boats are enjoying large strippers, the end to our season looms near. And what a boating season it was! We had two week long cruises, three weekend rendezvous, and two great raft ups.

Our past month of activities has almost been nonstop! Our last raft up of the season was on 25 September in Lake Ogleton. We had five boats and 21 happy people. As usual this summer, the weather was fantastic! We sailed on the schooner Woodwind on Saturday, 4 October. The wind was blowing 25 knots, so when I say we sailed, we really did, heeling included. We again had 21 folks join us for this event. Captain Jen, who spoke to us at a dinner meeting earlier this year, made sure we all had a great time and offered everyone a turn at the helm. What fun!

The Annapolis Sail & Power Boat Shows were our next big event. They were both a lot of fun. We have already re- ceived an application from a new member and hope to receive many more. We made some great contacts with local boaters and I believe the show will once again prove to be a very successful event for us. The show has provided a bump in vessel safety checks, and I am still working hard to get us to my goal of 500! The vessel safety committee has worked very hard this year and has made tremendous growth in examiners and number of vessel safety checks.

We do tend to be less busy in the fall and winter, but there is still a lot going on in the squadron. The fundraiser at Red, Hot and Blue is 28 October and the flyer to take with you is in this publication. There is a dinner meeting on Thursday, 6 November which is very important. First, we will be having our Food Drive for the Anne Arundel County Food Bank. Second, our speaker will cover Maritime awareness and the “See Something. Say Something” program DNR has to en- able us all to know what to look for in this era of unsettled times. While on the water we need to be vigilant on what is unusual activity.

Another year of boat shows is behind us and once again the efforts of our squadron made positive impressions on the leadership of District 5, other squadrons and the boating public in general. Several membership leads were generated, many VSCs were scheduled, and countless amounts for boating safety and USPS educational documents were distributed. In general, it was a job well done.

The new USPS Boating Skills Virtual Trainer (BSVT) was a big hit. Its performance and capabilities of simulating a realistic boating experience exceeded most expectations. And it became a very successful “booth magnet” that gener- ated many opportunities for quality interactions with those attending the shows. Both youngsters and adults enjoyed using the BSVT and were challenged by its lesson scenarios.

I sincerely wish to thank everyone who volunteered their time and effort working this year’s boat shows. 39 mem- bers of our squadron manned shifts at one or both of the shows. In addition we had 35 members from other D5 squadrons, including Absecon, Delsea, Dundalk, Kent Narrows, Main Line, Mid Potomac, Miles River, Nanticoke River, Northern Virginia, Potomac, Rockville, and Susquehannock that volunteered their time. We even had the Commander and Executive Officer from the Fort Worth Sail and Power Squadron working in our booth.

Everyone did a fabulous job and deserves my deepest gratitude, but there are three squadron members that went above and beyond the call of duty and must receive my special thanks and the squadron’s recognition. Cdr Kathy Nash, AP, P/C Marianne Ponzio, P and Capt. Al Ponzio, AP set-up, tour down and transported the contents of our booths for both shows. In addition, they worked several shifts and helped secure all the materials necessary to make the shows successful. Kathy also directly coordinated with the boat show officials and maintained the work schedule for volunteers. Please help me in showing the squadron’s appreciation for their outstanding efforts.

The ASPS Food Drive to benefit the Anne Arundel County Food & Resource Bank is off to a great start. So far, two couples within our squadron have both donated $100 each to this cause. In addition, a recliner, two twin beds sets (mattress and box spring), and a bed frame have been picked up by the AA Co Food Bank directly. That’s a great start, but there are hopes our squadron will do much more and provide many other donations.

It’s easy to participate in this good cause. Here is a list of items being accepted: Food Items: All food items are accepted. Canned goods may be up to 5 years expired. Rice & Pasta may be 1 year expired and cereal may be 6 months expired. (They are currently most in need of canned meats.) Financial Donations: Checks made out to Anne Arundel County Food Bank. Medical Supplies: Walkers, potty chairs, canes, etc… Baby Goods: Diapers, formula and clothes. Clothing: Winter coats and other warm clothing of any size. Furniture: Any usable furniture. Appliances: Any usable appliances, such as washers, dryers, microwave ovens, etc…

Please give whatever possible to this cause between now and 10 November. Tax receipts will be issued for clothing, furniture and financial donations. Here’s how to donate: 1. Bring transportable items to the 06 November ASPS dinner meeting. 2. If you are unable to attend the dinner meeting or transport your donated items, contact Toni Hughes via 410- 224-4155 or [email protected] to arrange pickup from your home or office. (Large items will be picked up by the AA Co Food Bank directly.)

And remember, donations are not restricted to squadron members. Share this information with friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. (Continued on Page 3)

As of 20 October, ASPS has completed 486 VSCs for 2014. We still need 14 more exams to reach our Commander’s goal of 500 VSCs by the end of the year. There are several VSC’s still pending from the boat shows, but help from our squadron members is needed to make our goal. If you were lucky enough to obtain a new vessel during the boat shows, (or know someone who was), please contact D/Lt Homer Sandridge, N, Cdr Kathy Nash, AP or myself to schedule a VSC as soon as possible.

As winter approaches our time will be more dedicated to activities that shelter us from the weather. Boats have been winterized or moved to warmer areas. This is the time to prepare the mind for the next season of boating. ASPS is helping you do this, currently two courses are run- ning Piloting and Marine Communications. ASPS is planning to run the Maryland Boating Safety Course. If you need to brush up on the very basics or need that Card to legally operate a recreational vessel this is your course. We are doing a slightly different schedule to speed up the course. Two classes a week for two weeks. Let me know what you think. ASPS has courses and seminars scheduled and being planned for various loca- tions look at the following listings and watch for emails and the website for more information.

Upcoming courses and seminars:

DNR Boating Safety Class November 11, 12,18, 19, 2014 Cost: $20.00 Place: Annapolis High School Time: 6:30 to 9:30 PM

Born after July 1972, you need a Boating Safety Card to legally operate a recreational motor vessel in Maryland. This course awards the card for all who attend the course and pass the test with an 80% or higher. The class is being offered on two Tuesday and Wednesday sessions, four classes in total with the test on the last night. Attendance is necessary to be awarded the Boating Safety Card. The basics of boating safety, Maryland boating laws and more will be part of the class. All attendees will receive the Maryland Boating Safety guide.

Time to Share

I really like to answer questions, especially if I know the answer. Well – the boat show crowd always has a way of humbling your knowledge. Soon you realize you don’t really know so much. It is early into the Sailboat portion of the show and already I do not have a definitive answer to two questions and I need to find out and share with you the answers, so here goes.

Question #1

Why do we need two Dive Flags?

Two flags are mandated for display in most parts of the United States and Canada when a boat or ship has divers in the water. Considerable confusion exists as to the differences between these two flags, if any, and why a dive boat has to use two separate signals. In fact, the two flags serve quite different purposes.

The 1972 International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea and the United States Inland Navigation Rules provide for an elaborate series of day-shapes and lights to be dis- played by large vessels whose maneuverability is restricted by the conduct of underwater operations, such as cable-laying, dredging, or conducting diving operations. Smaller ves- sels that are not able to hoist the complex signals used by large ships are instead required to display a rigid version of the International Code of Signals flag for the letter "A," known as ALFA, at least one meter high if diving operations restrict their ability to maneuver. Not all boats from which divers are swimming are necessarily so restricted. Generally, only vessels to which the divers are physically connected by communication lines, air hoses, or the like are affected by this requirement. It does not apply to most instances of sport diving, where the divers are swimming free of the vessel. As recent Coast Guard Notices to Mari- ners emphasize: "The ALFA flag is a navigational signal intended to protect the vessel from collision."

By contrast, the red and white diver-down flag, originally devised in about 1957, is intended to protect divers themselves. This flag is often referred to as unofficial or voluntary because it is not mandated by the international or inland rules of the road. This assertion is errone- ous. The use of the diver down flag is required by state law or regulation in virtually every state of the Union, as well as by various Federal agencies exercising jurisdiction over waters where diving takes place (such as the National Park Service) and by the Canadian Occupational Safety and Health Regulation. Typically, the laws or regulations on the use of this flag require divers to display the flag and to remain within a specified distance of it when they are near the surface. This often means the flag is best mounted on a float or buoy near the actual dive point rather than on the boat itself. Restrictions vary from state to state, but typically include a zone around the flag where no other boats are allowed and a second, larger zone in which their speed is limited. By 1997, nearly every state in the USA had laws requiring the use of a dive flag. Most states require the use of the traditional diver-down flag, some require only the alpha flag, and a few require both. A number of states also prohibit the display of the diver-down flag when a diver is not actually in the water.

In a nutshell - the traditional red & white diver-down flag is intended to protect divers themselves, while the blue & white alpha flag is intended to protect vessels from collision.

ANNAPOLIS SAIL AND POWER SQUADRON 6 November 2014 Anchor Watch

(Continued from Page 6)

MD Law - Two types of flags are used to indicate diving activity.

A rectangular red flag with a white diagonal stripe is attached to a vessel, float, or buoy.

A blue and white International Code Flag A (or Alfa flag), at least 3.3 feet (one meter) high and visible from all directions, is flown from a vessel on federally controlled or international waters that is restricted in its ability to maneuver. This flag indicates that the vessel is involved in a diving activity.

Persons scuba diving, skin diving, or snorkeling must display a diver-down flag to mark their diving area. If a diver- down flag is spotted while boating, be careful and do not approach out of curiosity. Maintain a distance of at least 100 feet between the flag and your vessel when boating on inland waters. In bays and open waters, stay at least 300 feet away.

The Navigation Rules require vessels restricted in their ability to maneuver to display appropriate day shapes or lights. To meet this requirement, recreational vessels engaged in diving activities during the day must exhibit a rigid replica of the international code flag “A” not less than one meter in height, or at night, display navigation lights 360 degrees red on top, white in middle and red on the bottom. This requirement does not affect the use of a red and white diver flag used to mark a divers location.

The Story of the Scuba Diver Down Flag

The now-familiar red-and-white dive flag was invented in the early 1950's by Denzel James "Doc" Dockery from Michigan.

Dockery was a tinker and entrepreneur. In 1953, he followed instructions published in Popular Science magazine for building his own scuba unit, and began experimenting with ways to make a living in the brand new sport.

In the course of his work, Dockery found that he needed a warning flag to keep boaters at a safe distance. Since Dockery had served in the U.S. Navy, he was familiar with the red signal flag that's commonly used to connote dan- ger. The Navy's "bravo flag" is solid red.

In order to make his flag distinctive, Dockery decided to make a modification. He asked his wife Ruth to sew a white stripe across the middle of it. They put their stripe horizontal, right down the center from left to right.

Unfortunately, there was a problem with their design. It was the national flag of Austria. They needed something else. A vertical white stripe was out since that's the Navy's numerical number 7 signal flag.

After doing their homework, they decided to make the stripe diagonal. Ruth sewed it from the upper-left corner to the lower-right corner. The dive flag, as we now know it, was born.

Inventing a flag is one thing. Getting it used and recognized is another. Perhaps more important than his role in creat- ing the dive flag was Dockery's evangelism for it. With the persistent tenacity of a good entrepreneur Dockery began selling flags and promoting their use.

In 1956, Dockery's flag got a major boost. Ted Nixon from U.S. Divers started buying them from him and distribut- ing them nationally. Nixon became so instrumental in the flag's widespread adoption that many people mistakenly credit Nixon with inventing the flag.

Another boost came from Skin Diver magazine. They mentioned Dockery's flag in a September 1957 editorial and asked their readers to send in their thoughts on the design. In February 1958, they declared the discussion closed, with the "Michigan Divers Flag" as the reader's choice. (Continued on Page 8)

ANNAPOLIS SAIL AND POWER SQUADRON 7 November 2014 Anchor Watch

(Continued from Page 7)

In addition to promoting it among divers, Dockery worked to get the flag officially recognized in his home state of Michigan. He was successful, and Michigan became the first state in the union with a diver flag law. Now, thanks to what he started, the federal government and almost every U.S. state officially recognizes Dockery's flag as the offi- cial warning sign of a diver down.

Question #2

If my daughter is 10 years old , completes and passes a State certified course to get her boating cer- tificate can she operate a boat by herself.

Well the question was actually in regards to another State but it got me to thinking. I had my thoughts and ideas but not willing to bet my money on it I looked in the State boating guide we had at the booth and it left more questions than answers. Always willing to share my ignorance with the hope that I may not be the only one, I strolled over to the DNR booth which was adjacent to ours, and posed the very same question from our States view.

The answer was surprising!

No matter what age, as long as you can pass the test and obtain your Md. Boating certificate you are entitled to le- gally operate a boat on state waters by yourself. There is no minimum age to take the boat safety exam. (Exception: must be 16 years old to operate a PWC)

So next time you’re out cruising and you see a Go Fast boat zoom past you with a toddler holding a sippy cup at the helm don’t be surprised – it may be legal.

REMEMBER SAFETY IS A LEARNED HABIT
