HAILINGS FROM THE HELMBy Cdr Kara Dalkey, P

Ahoy again and happy June. Summer’s almost here! The Puget Soundarea is the first place I’ve lived where summer is my favorite season.Rarely too hot, or too muggy, and the sunlight is so welcome after therainy season.

The pre-summer also brings out the expenses as we get our boats ready.The Final Answer is getting a new canvas top and our dinghy is now mo-torized and installed on the swim step. Marcus and I are –really- lookingforward to the upcoming rendezvous in Brownesville. Hope to see manyof you there.

Thanks to the many of you who showed up at the May dinner meeting.Our try-out of Emerald Cove went well, there were many complimentsabout the food, though some grumblings that there should have been asalad. June brings the try-out of Colliers and we’ll see how they compare.I hope you’ll be there to give us a test run.

The District 16 Education Seminar in Sequim was interesting, and I’msure Rick will have more to say in his column. I especially appreciated thechance to see beautiful Sequim! I’ll have to go back when the lavender isin bloom.

Speaking of District 16, there’s still time (but not much) to sign up for theD16 rendezvous in Poulsbo. It looks like an amazing time. I’m hopingwork schedules will allow Marcus and I to go.

We had our first E-Board meeting at the Mandarin Kitchen in DesMoines. It was very tasty! As always, any member of the squadron is wel-come to come sit in on the meetings and observe. Our June E-Board meet-ing will be there as well, so if you want to get an idea of how Poverty BaySail and Power Squadron is run, come by and join us for dinner, then stickaround for the meeting. We can always use new ideas.

FROM ANDROMEDA’S COCKPITBy Lt/C Tom Spohn, P

This month’s article is actually being written from the Nav Station onBird’s Nest, a 38 ft. chartered catamaran sailboat currently moored inWhite Bay, Jost Van Dyke Island, the British Virgin Islands. It is ofcourse a beautiful place with lots to see and do. Jean and I with twoother couples have been snorkeling a lot and doing some diving. Wedon’t have an air thermometer on board so I don’t know what the air tem-perature is, but when we jump into the water the dive computer says thewater is 84 degrees and it feels cold! Last night we visited the SoggyDollar Bar, which was named for the soggy dollars patrons produce whenthey swim ashore for a Painkiller, the unofficial Island cocktail. For din-ner we ate cheeseburgers with Jimmy Buffet singing “Cheeseburger inParadise.” Seemed like the right thing to do.

The water is clear down to almost 50 ft. and we have been experimentingwith underwater photos and video. I say experimenting since quite a fewhave had to be deleted. You can swim right up to an interesting school offish or a reef with bright colors, but the current and waves make it diffi-cult to hold the camera still enough to get a good image. But we are stilllearning and we have quite a few that came out well.

We have sailed the catamaran the entire length of the islands and backwith almost no motoring. Winds have been in the 11-21 knot range withoccasional gusts to 27 knots. I keep waiting for the boat to heel when astrong gust hits, but the cat stays on its feet, a strange feeling to amonohull guy. We did try to motor one morning when seas and windwere very high and we lost an engine. The remaining engine was notstrong enough by itself to make way so we motor- sailed on jib and oneengine to our destination in heavy wind and sea. Slow going, but we gotthere safely. Waves have been in the 3-5 ft. range, but are quite differentfrom the ones we have in Puget Sound. They are not nearly so short cou-pled so the boat motion is much easier than the same sized waves wouldproduce at home.

All these new sights, sounds, tastes, and experiences are possible sinceJean and I became boaters. Thanks to the classes we took at PBSPS, Iwas accepted as co- captain on a bareboat charter. Remembering lastmonth’s Dinner Meeting, the first things I checked were the fire extin-guishers, propane locker, and wiring to the charger/inverter. All checkedout on this French made boat and it has been smooth sailing since—except for the port engine which seems to have been a fuel contaminationproblem. I can think of no other activity that gets us so close to such animportant part of nature than boating, and I am looking forward to muchmore when I return to the Salish Sea in a few days.

RECOGNIZE THESE TWO?Terry and Paul went fishing together for the first time. Paul immediately pulledin a nice 3lb Bass. Terry was shocked and surprised when Paul grabbed the fishand began to slap him silly with it.

Suddenly Paul broke off the attack and began apologizing profusely. "It's acompulsion I have and I have no control over my actions; I'm so embarrassed",exclaimed Paul.

"Well, you're going to have to get some help and see a psychiatrist", said Terry,"before I will ever go fishing with you again!"

Six Months later Paul called Terry and they arranged to go fishing again. Onceagain Paul quickly caught a small Bass. Grabbing it he once again attackedTerry slapping him silly with the fish. This time Paul did not stop the attack toapologize. Terry had to restrain him almost capsizing the boat.

"I thought you were going the see a shrink and get this fixed", yelled Terry ashe held Paul down.

"I did", said Paul, squirming.

"Well it didn't help", roared Terry!

"Oh yes it did", said Paul. "I still have the compulsion, but I have now learnedto accept it!"

A Boater's Blessing... from Days of YoreMay there always be water under your boat,May she always be seaworthy and ever afloat,May your bilge pump be certain to work all night and all day,May your compass and charts always show the safe way,May you find gentle harbor as every day ends,May you lower your anchor amidst peace and good friends.

A Boater's Blessing...NowadaysMay your outdrive be saved after hitting that rock,May your bow be rebuilt after ramming your dock,May you find your new watch that fell overboard,May your neighbor quit stealing your slip's power cord,May Lysol mask the musty smell under your berth,May you someday owe less than the damn boat is worth.

TYC requests boater support and volunteers to help out with marine securityfor the “air box” that is used by the pilots flying overhead during the FreedomFair’s Air Show. These are the FRONT ROW SEATS to the Air Show.

We need 20 - 22 boats available July 4th, 2010 from approximately 10:00 a.m.to 4:00 p.m. to help establish and monitor the “Air Box” on the water of Com-mencement Bay.

8 -10 boats (Power or Sail, Greater than 30 ft; at least four Greater than 40 ft)are needed to form the perimeter for the “air box”. You will be provided a setof GPS coordinates and be asked to stay in position during the air show. Dueto depth, you will likely not be anchored and will need to stay within close ra-dius of your coordinates.

10 – 12 boats (Power boats) are needed as “perimeter patrol”. You will beasked to monitor the air box and prevent other boats from entering the area dur-ing the air show.

All boats will be provided postings/markings to identify you as part of the ma-rine security team.

If you are interested in helping out with this important event, please contactTYC member Chris Williamson (253-219-6455) orc.g.williamson@comcast.net).

The Wild, Wild West Takes thePort of Bremerton by Storm!

April 23th, 24th, & 25th

By Ferd and Judy Nist, Wendy McGee, Beth and Becca SimonBarry and Linda McDonnell

Neither rain nor gloom nor gale force winds shall stay these stalwartPower Squadron boaters from their Bremerton Rendezvous!

Thursday early birds had it smooth and easy, but by early Friday after-noon white caps began to build, making arrivals go from moderate land-ings to near mishaps. Thirty-two boats found safe harbor at the Port ofBremerton and cinched down tight for our first organized kick off ren-dezvous for the 2010 season. Attitude, Autumn Mist, Bianca, Brizo, Bud-man, Burke's Law, Canusa, D'Angler, Doughboy, Final Answer, Fla-mingo, Friendship, Isola, Knot Woozy, Knotty Time, Lady Diane, Laff'nGecko, Mossback, Only Time, Our Brigadoon, Sea Fire, Sea Sharp, S’ur-chin, Simbalaut, Tourmaline, and Water Skipper, and our Minnkotafriends aboard Wind Dancer, Allaban II, Key Allegro, Private Reserve,MiJoLu and Best Ever.

A hearty thank you goes out to P/C Barry McDonnell, P for his extensivework in planning and coordinating the slip assignments with the Port ofBremerton. Due to a last minute illness, Barry was not able to attend soSheriff Ferd Nist, Miss Beth Simon and Deputy Don Parker assembledthe tents, while Deputy Jack Greene. Miss Wendy Mc Gee and manyother helping hands took over the fleet’s arrival with Barry’s instructionsin hand.

Friday night’s Power Squadron dinner of Chuck wagon Stew prepared byhead chefs Miss Judy Nist and Don Hale, baking powder biscuits withhoney and green salads was a huge hit. Once aboard the SS Turner Joywe were warm and dry. All came in a variety of western garb from dancehall/saloon girls (Julie Hale, Beth and Becca Simon), decked out cow-boys and cowgirls to an Indian squaw/maiden/princess (Judy Nist). (AskNancy Scott sometime what she named her, and what WoHeLo mightmean.)

A best baked pie contest back in the party tent was enjoyed by all andjudged by Miss Mary, ‘Where’s My Pie’, Quande, Deputy Jack filling infor Sheriff Ferd and Chef Don Hale. The winner was Rose McKelveyfrom MiJoLu with her Lemon Meringue pie. Thanks to all who suppliedthe delicious pies!

Saturday found the weather not much improved, in fact, downright coldand windy with gusts close to 30 mph as reported by Luke Curtis from hisweather station aboard Isola!

Port Orchard’s Farmers’ Market, the Water Park, a “Commander KaraWanted Poster Puzzle”, a cowboy name scramble and of course, a TexasHold’em Poker Game were among the rendezvous activities. The winnerof Texas Hold’em was George Holmgren with Jackie Smith in a close 2nd

place that was only settled in a forced game of sudden death. Julie andDon Hale won the scramble game while Cheryl and Gordy McWatterswon the puzzle contest. Congratulations to all the winners!

Saturday night was our fabulous appetizer potluck in the big party tentfollowed by a terrific demonstration of modern day square dance by theBremerton Square Dance Club, called by Roger Spied. Eight of our gangwere persuaded to participate in the instruction portion; Beth & BeccaSimon, Roger & Gloria Hunt, George & Patti Holmgren, Don Parker &Mary Quande. Their ‘Ala Mande Left’ was almost as good as their ‘Do SiDo Your Partner’. Good going gang!

This was followed by card games until the wee hours thanks to all thosewho provided the table top heaters. You all saved the evening and againthe next morning at breakfast.

Sunday broke out as calm and sunny but still biting cold. Before leavingfor our respective home moorages, we shared coffee, fresh fruit and pas-tries, provided by Poverty Bay.

BOATING IN FOGFrom the internet @ http://www.boatsafe.com/quicktip.htm

Objects may seem larger than they appear…

When operating in fog be aware that visibility can drop drastically. Whenvisibility is between 30 and 150 yards objects, including other boats, mayappear twice as large as normal. The illusion also tends to make you thinkthat they are approaching at a much faster rate than they actually are.

Steering a straight line without a compass…

Many a small recreational boat owner will find themselves steering in fogwithout a compass. With no compass and with no reference points be-cause of limited visibility, even the best helmsman will tend to steer incircles.

To steer a straight course, attach a light line high on the bow or from themast and drag a drogue, cushion, or anything that can create resistanceover the stern. Keep the line centered where it passes over the stern andyou will steer a straight line.

Actions to take in fog…

If you see a fog bank approaching or fog starting to form be sure to fixyour position by any and all means necessary, including electronically orby bearings. If possible, anchor and wait out the fog in an area which istoo shallow for large ships to operate. Don't forget to ring your bell for 5seconds every minute while at anchor. Post as many lookouts as you haveonboard and listen intently for the sounds of other vessels. If you hear avessel approaching, sound the optional one short - one prolonged - oneshort blast to notify them of your presence.

IS IT A GOOD KNOT OR NOT -HOW DO KNOTS AFFECT LINE STRENGTH?

From the internet @ http://www.boatsafe.com/quicktip.htm

Knots must earn their worth aboard your boat. In order to be worth theirsalt they must:

Hold fast under all conditions Come apart easily when you want them to

You must do your part with respect to knots. You should be able to tiethem as automatically as you do your shoe laces. The reason that you don'thave to think about tying your shoes is something called "muscle mem-ory". The muscles in your fingers have been flexed in the same manner sooften that your brain doesn't have to send individual signals to all the mus-cles involved. The memory appears to actually lie in the muscles them-selves.

Knots obviously introduce kinks into a line that can diminish its strength.Some knots introduce tighter kinks than others. A three-strand line thathas been tied with a knot that causes a tight kink can lose up to 30 percentof its strength. This loss of strength can cause a line to part more quicklyunder strain.

The reduction of line strength varies with the knot. Some examples fol-low:

Anchor bend: 24 percentRound turn and two half hitches: 30 - 35 percentTimber hitch: 30 - 35 percentBowline: 40 percentSheet bend: 45 percentReef knot: 55 percent
