WANTED: New PTYC Treasurer!

THANK YOU Past Commodore Jim Pivarnik, for returning as PTYC Treasure until our 2021 Board & Officers recruitment this fall.

Commodore’s Column (concludes): Social Distancing . . . Our Immediate Future!

You will find marina offices are staffed, but closed to the public with business and payment conducted over the phone. Your best bet is to call ahead to marinas to see what limitations or restrictions they have in place. Again, more info links below. Most fuel docks are open, some require reservations, and they all require social distancing. Your best bet? Call first! Bob and I hope to get out on Rain Shadow soon to visit one of the uninhabited islands and do some kayaking. We want to be considerate of inhabited islands during this Covid-19 time. Your next Baggywrinkle Newsletter will come out in September, but I will keep you updated over the summer with any changes, cancellations, or news. Please feel free to contact me any time: [email protected] or [email protected]. I’d love to hear from you. Rain Shadow and her crew, both two-legged and four-legged, would love to be a "boating buddy." See more about that on page 15 of this issue.

PTYC GARAGE SALE SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17th, 2020

SAVE THE DATE – AND KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!

Our annual garage sale is an important fund-raiser for PTYC Scholarships. Will we be able to hold it this year? We have no way of knowing at this time, and there may still be restrictions on social distancing and sanitizing in place that may make it unworkable, but we are hopeful.

Assuming we are allowed to go ahead with the sale as scheduled, we will need lots of lightly- used good quality stuff to sell. What sort of “stuff”? Clothing, household goods, small appliances in working order, tools, marine items, books, small furniture, art, collectibles, etc. etc. etc. Take a look through your closets and garage, and if there are things that no longer give you joy (or clothes that no longer fit after your months of couch-sitting at home), set them aside to donate to the sale. We will also need lots of volunteer helpers to sort and price the merchandise during set- up days Wednesday thru Friday, before the sale and help on the day of the sale. As a “thank you” to our helpers, we always give them first pick of the merchandise after it is priced and before it goes on sale to the public.

We hope that our crystal ball will be a little less cloudy by the time the next issue of the Baggywrinkle comes out in September, and we will make a definite announcement at that time as to whether the Garage Sale is a “go” or “no go”. Meanwhile, enjoy your summer and stay well. Co-chairs Katie Habegger and Kathy Painter

Generous PTYC Members and others have donated more than $1,500 to our Scholarship Fund in memory of Kenny Mikkelson!

PTYC Membership Did you know?

In High school, Tim Loika was the #1 seat in Tennis and ranked #2 in Humboldt County. He also built a sailing canoe, and then built a Glen Design sailboat with an 18 foot mast—which he took out of sight of land from Trinidad Point with only a wet suit, fins and a couple of plastic jugs of fresh water. In college, he built a 25’ Thunderbird sailboat. His motor boat intro was a 21’ power boat with a cuddy cabin to thrill Kathy and their 3 boys—5 people . . . no wonder they now enjoy their 42’ luxurious Meridian! Tim later discovered that he surfed many of the same beaches as PTYC members Rick Rezinas and Dave McCammon.

Since joining PTYC in 2008, Tim and Kathy Pleasant Harbor Cruise Co-Captains: Tim & Kathy Loika, are very active club Karen & Jim Cavin and Lisa & Dave McCammon members.

Cruising in comfort

July 4th Dinghy Parade

Tim’s career in education included teaching Shop classes, being the Athletic Director, heading the Math Department and eventually becoming a High School Principal. But did you know . . . As a high school shop teacher during the 1980’s energy crisis, Tim’s Small Engine Classes operated the only “whiskey still” authorized by the ATF: Alchohol, Tobacco & Firearms Agency in an Oregon High School. With an abundance of local fruit, they successfully created an alternative fuel to run lawnmowers—-160 Proof Brandy! Interestingly, there was an extensive waiting list for his classes! Ilona Bell, Editor Volume 120, Issue 5 Baggywrinkle Page 7 PTYC Live-Aboards in Port Ludlow Marina Act to Minimize Fire Damage By Darren O’Brien, PacificNWBoater.com Of all things I never wanted to hear Lisa yell while aboard our boat, “There’s a fire in the marina!” has to be the scariest. Because, we know what can happen when a boat catches fire and spreads to neighboring boats. Worse, we know how quickly that can happen. When she uttered those very words, I don’t think either one of us had ever got dressed so fast in our lives.

Running down our dock toward the smoke at 8:30am, visions of the fairly recent conflagration that occurred in Shelter Bay (near La Conner) about six years ago were running through my head. That fire started like so many other catastrophic marina fires: just one boat. Which, eventually engulfed an entire section of the marina.

Even with that worst- case scenario playing in my mind, everyone was pretty calm when we arrived at the boat just 17 slips down the dock from us. There were three people addressing the fire, with another liveaboard carefully monitoring the situation aboard his vessel just 70-feet away. Once we saw what was happening (flames licking out of the Tollycraft 43’s port side engine room vents), Lisa and I put down the fire extinguishers we brought. They weren’t going to do any good, as the fire was halfway down the boat on the side opposite the finger pier.

At that length, the garden hose that another liveaboard was spraying could barely reach. Wanting to aid in the attempted dousing of flames, I immediately grabbed another hose, turned it on and tried to reach the fire. Opening up that hose effectively dropped the water pressure enough that neither hose was really working. It took about 10 seconds for us to realize that running just the first hose was our best bet.

While the flames were getting bigger, and the one hose was not spraying very much water from a fire fighting standpoint, I kept imagining the vessel in front of us becoming fully engulfed in mere minutes. The Port Ludlow Fire Department was still making their way down to the stricken vessel, so I said the next thing that I knew to be prudent: “We’ve got to move these other boats!” (Continues on Page 8)

Page 8 Baggywrinkle June 2020 PTYC Live-Aboards in Port Ludlow Marina Act to Minimize Fire Damage Now I’ve worked with the folks at BoatUS before, and have been to the headquarters in Alexandria, VA. I’ve help promote boating safety and awareness, and I’ve seen one of their videos where they intentionally lit a 26-foot cabin cruiser on fire with multiple cameras inside and out of the vessel to record what happens (it was safely parked on a trailer in a parking lot). Believe me, that boat became completely engulfed in a matter of minutes! That, combined with other marina fires I’ve seen on the news and in video, led me to believe we had to move the adjacent boats or we just might lose the whole dock. And, yes, I was thinking of our boat at the other end of the same dock, where at the moment, Arriana was safely aboard. Of more immediate concern though, was the boat just six feet away that shared the finger pier with the burning Tolly. I just knew we had to act quickly.

So you can probably imagine my dismay when my suggestion to move the neighbor’s vessel was met with some resistance! One fellow (another liveaboard whose boat was just three slips away!) said, “How are we going to do that?” Granted, my response was not very well thought out and was based in part on a building sense of panic, but I replied, “Untie it and push it out into the fairway.” My reasoning was, if I were the owner of the very nice, well-kept American Tug we were talking about and I was given the choice: would you rather have your boat drifting and not on fire, or kept in the slip next to a burning vessel so it, too, could catch on fire? Well, the choice would be pretty easy to make. Another liveaboard who was also unsure of moving the tug added that the current wind direction would probably just blow it back up against the burning boat.

OK, well that made sense. “Then let’s tow it out”, was my next recommendation. “With what?” the second fellow asked. “I don’t know,” I said, “a dinghy.” Unfortunately, no one on the scene had a dinghy ready to go in the water. Finally, the owner of the boat three slips down said, “We could use my jet ski.” I reacted with, “Good idea.” At that moment, the fire department arrived at the boat. They quickly took stock of the situation, and started up the industrial, gas-powered seawater pump they brought with them. Their presence and actions gave everyone a sense of hope.

Unfortunately, it took them a few minutes to get the pump running well enough to actually start pumping water. I had to keep from asking them out loud, “I though you guys drilled on this every month?” But I didn’t want to introduce any doubt on their abilities to do their job. So I turned my attention back to the matter at hand. Acknowledging that our dock mates were not jumping to move the one boat I felt was most in danger, and that the firemen were taking over, I then suggested we at least move the boat on the outside that was directly in front of the burning Tolly. Everyone agreed and we hurriedly commenced untying the boat’s dock lines. (Concludes on Page 9)

Volume 120, Issue 6 Baggywrinkle Page 9 PTYC Live-Aboards in Port Ludlow Marina Act to Minimize Fire Damage

Have you ever heard of the nautical version of OCD? Over Cleating Disorder. All four docklines were in fact severely “over cleated”. I began to work on the forward spring line, while Lisa was on the bow line. The lines were seemingly randomly knotted with so many passes, it took us at least 30 frustrating seconds to untie each dock line. Which, given the circumstances, seemed like an eternity! All the while I could hear the American Sailing Association instructor from my Basic Keelboat class back in the ‘90s saying, as he taught us the “proper” way to do a cleat hitch, “that’s all you need. Don’t pile on a bunch of other passes or knots.” He then added something I’ve never forgotten: “Because what if the boat next to you is on fire? And you only have a couple of seconds to untie yours and escape?” We finally untied the lines and moved the boat down the dock.

Even though the firemen had the pump working at this point and had a strong, steady stream pouring into the now melted open engine room vents, we had no idea how far the fire had spread inside the vessel. Smoke was coming out of every vent and opening on the Tollycraft. Even the windlass had smoke billowing out of it! No one had yet been able to get into the boat to determine exactly what we were up against. I think we were all wondering that this baby could still potentially burn to the waterline. Someone actually worried aloud, “What if the propane tanks explode?” Acknowledging that particularly alarming thought, I reiterated my initial suggestion that we move the American Tug. The owner of the jet ski finally said, “Should I get my Seadoo?” The others finally agreed, so we set about untying that boat’s dock lines. Which were not as over cleated as the first boat, but still had a few too many passes around the dock horns.

It’s funny what goes through your mind in moments like those. There I was, trying to stay out of the fire fighters’ way. Professionals dressed in complete fire protection gear with just one objective, to keep the flames in the burning boat under control. And there I am, in regular clothes on the same finger pier getting the neighboring boat untied, wondering if and when the Tolly might explode. I am thinking about conducting proper dock cleating workshops so no one else ever has to worry about untying an over-cleated boat in an emergency! Yeah, that’s definitely a video we’re going to make… In the end, we safely moved the American Tug and towed it into a slip on another dock (without a scratch, mind you) and the firefighters were able to break into the Tolly (it took quite a few whacks with an axe, though!) and completely douse the fire.

Just over an hour after Lisa yelled that scary sentence down to me in our midship cabin, we were both showering to get rid of the awful smell of burnt fiberglass (and had our attire thrown into a bag for washing). Afterwards, while relaxing and having a second cup of coffee, we marveled at the fact the Tollycraft suffered far less damage than it could have. Even though the insurance company will likely total the vessel, we were thankful the fire was contained through the combined efforts of the Port Ludlow Marina live aboard community and our local fire department. We were both also thankful we never had to make that big decision we both had in the back of our minds: At what point do we need to run back to Traveler, where Arriana was safely ensconced, and start the boat up to head out into open water and safety?

Recreational Boaters Association of Washington (RBAW) Report for June

RBAW Marine Parks Conservancy Update

RBAW just received their determination letter from the IRS giving the Conservancy 501C3 status so now all contributions are tax deductible. Anyone who has signed a pledge or wants to contribute may do so by accessing the link on rbaw.org. The first purchase is Lakebay Marina as I have been reporting. Our deadline for purchasing expires on September 30 and we are concerned the seller may not extend the offer. Our concern is that without our purchasing the property, cleaning it up and turning it over to WA State Dept of Parks and Recreation for recreational use, this beautiful waterfront property will fall into the hands of commercial developers. There is a great anchorage with upland acres for shoreside activities as well as being close to another state park. This is located in Pierce County in South Sound. Once we save Lakebay, we will be looking for more opportunities to save land and/or water sites for recreational boaters’ use. That is the mission of the Conservancy. The Covid Confusion Continues for Boaters The burning question still reigns as to “What is open?” after the official reopening of boating on May 5. RBAW has posted several links on the rbaw.org website which we keep updated trying to keep up with the changing scene for boating in our surrounding waters. Click on the Covid 19 link. As of now and presumably until June 21, the Canadian border is still closed to all but essential traffic of which recreational boating does not qualify. On June 21, according to the news media, both the US and Canada will revisit the border situation. Day to day it changes depending on whether or not it’s a state park or private marina complex or even municipalities welcoming or not welcoming visiting boaters. Consistently to date, San Juan County does not want visiting boaters to come ashore in any area where county residents are living. No welcome mats are out as of this printing but that may change when hopefully the Governor addresses more “openings” on May 31. As a caveat, though, counties can be more restrictive than the Governor’s orders, just not less restrictive. Although San Juan County has made its position clear, the State Marine Parks scattered throughout the San Juan Islands are open for day use at this time. That means that boats can tie up to mooring balls, go ashore keeping social distancing and keeping within park boundaries and use the linear ties and docks but just can’t stay overnight. Again, this is a changing scene. Boats may, however, anchor out overnight in these waters. Linda Newland, Interim RBAW Secretary PTYC Delegate to RBAW Volume 120, Issue 6 Baggywrinkle Page 11

Tim & Alice Tibbals

We were wanting a boat with enough space to take family and friends with us. We love Sea Spirit and intend to rename her Salish Dream. We’ve dreamt of a boat to adventure the Salish Sea, but never really thought it could come to pass! Thanks to Painters and Rezinas for helping our dream become a reality!!

Dan & Linda Newland

We jumped from a sailboat to a Grand Banks 36, “Tsusiat” (silent T).

We looked a long time to find her, but wanted a boat that wasn’t on life support. She is well fit for extended cruising .

Ahoy PTYC Members!

With current Safe Distance restrictions Visit Pacific Northwest Boaters for in place, “BUDDY BOATING” may be details about boating in Washington. an attractive option to consider for this (Website created and run by PTYC year’s boating season. 2 or 3 boats members Darren & Lisa O’Brien.) arrange to travel together with the intention of anchoring your boats, rather than docking at a marina. In addition to identifying marinas, Waggoner’s Cruising Guide frequently lists anchorage areas with good protection from directional winds and good holding ground. There are also several area Gunkholing Books available for referencing spots to anchor.

Each boat prepares their own food and drink and pretty much stays aboard.

Social activities can be planned for specific times—hiking trails, walking beaches, swimming, kayaking, etc., all at a 6 foot distance from one another.

Consider tying up your dinghy to a Buddy Boat and visiting with them from there . . . keeping 6 feet away from one another. It’s all in your ATTITUDE! Ilona Bell, Editor

SEEKING SEEKING PARTNERSHIP 33' NAUTICAT PILOTHOUSE SAILBOAT We are looking for the right person(s) to share our 1985 33' Nauticat Pilothouse Ketch Sailboat! "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.
