A Note From the Commander

Cdr Chris Peavey, N

[email protected]

Wow! If you were at San Luis Rey’s first Sundowner of the

year, then I don’t have to tell you what a fun time that was.

If you missed it, well, you know what they say about a picture

is worth a thousand words ……. The weather was very nice,

there was food and drink to share, we had new members and

regulars, a Balboa SPS member, and a special appearance by

P/C Suzy Cooper with Mike Crumley (and Lucky, the dog!).

We also enjoyed a pretty close up view of two Marine heli-

copters dropping Seals and Zodiacs into the water just out-

side the harbor entrance. And the Green Flash at sunset!!

SAFETY LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE U.S. COAST GUARD for MAY

O ur SAIL class is already nearing its end, and we're having a blast! While I hear that most other squadrons are hav-

ing challenges to get some students, we have filled a large classroom and we're experimenting with all kind of activities. We have expanded the on-the-water program, we had a Sail-maker, a Rigger and a US Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer come and give presentations, and now students are preparing for their closed-book exam. In April I posed one of the questions that is often asked on the SAIL exam: When two sailing vessels are approaching one another, so as to involve risk of collision, who should keep out of the way of the other? I received an immediate response from Phil Roe-buck, correctly quoting Rule 12, which applies the same for International as Inland. Very well done Phil! He went into de-tail: - If both vessels have wind on different side, vessel with wind on the port side gives way. - If both vessels have wind on same side, vessel which is windward gives way. - If vessel with wind on either side cannot determine which side the other vessel has wind, she shall give way. Excellent analysis. But for the exam, they were looking for A - the vessel on port tack (wind on port side) is the give-way ves-sel. However, the trick here is that the question fails to men-tion on which side each (main)sail is carried. They want you to assume that, approaching one another, the wind is on oppo-site sides. Phil's third bullet is ALWAYS true, but the exam did not show that as a possible answer. Phil has a question for us: "My community sailing club is hav-ing a regatta which is around two marks, twice. The wind is expected to be from the West and the course is West - East and back. So boats will be meeting head on; boats running down wind meeting boats tacking into the wind. It seemed a situation prone to confusion / mistakes. So it was decided that the windward boats will always give way to the leeward

3

(tacking) boats." This is not my favorite race course and it causes a lot of con-fusion indeed. Let me put my US Coast Guard hat on, rather than my racing hat, ok? Last month's Rule 12 applies, see above. If, as the committee seems to have decided, the wind-ward boat is on starboard tack and the downwind (tacking) boat is on port tack the boat tacking upwind, on port tack, gives way. Tell the committee that Capt. Adriaan respectfully disagrees. So to prepare you for this month's question, I give you two questions asked in our next week's SAIL exam. 1) The Interna-tional Navigational Rules require that a vessel proceeding under sail and power during daylight hours display: A a black spherical shape. B a conical shape, apex upward. C a conical shape, apex downward. D two spherical shapes, one above the other. And the other question is: 2) As a minimum, running lights are displayed: . A from sunrise to sunset. B from sunset to sunrise. C only when collision is imminent. D from 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise. Find the Rule and read it twice. Then determine the possible trick of this question and let me know. This question should, as usual, be answered with the US Coast Guard Handbook. Of course I want to know the Rule and the difference between INTERNATIONAL and INLAND, if any.

Be safe out there.

The 2018 San Luis Rey Sail & Power

Squadron class schedule is included.

If anyone has requests for classes not

on the schedule, please let me know.

Look at the other available classes and

their descriptions on the USPS web

pages at http://www.usps.org/

index.php/courses-another-version

The SDSPS schedule is posted online at http://www.sdsps.org/

Course time and dates may be changed to accommodate in-

structors and facilities.

WHAT IS GOING ON NOW? The “America's Boating Course” which ran on Thursday nights

from January 11 to March 29 with instructor P/Cdr David Nack,

JN was a first in years for all 5 students getting perfect 100%

scores on the test. Congratulate the instructor and the stu-

dents Justin Ferayorni, Matt Geschke, Megan Coyne, Hal Ca-

sey, and Maria Mingalone.

A very successful enhanced “Sail” course was given in conjunc-

tion with the San Diego SP Squadron starting February 27 and

the test will be taken April 30. This special course has 30%

more content than the standard USPS “Sail” course. 27 stu-

dents are attending the class with 19 paid and 8 repeating at

no cost, at the training facility at XIFIN in Del Mar.

5

The “Seamanship” class began April 5 on Thursday evenings

and Saturday mornings at the OYC classroom, with P/D/C

Jan Follestad, SN-CN leading the class of 4 students. The

test is scheduled for May 3.

San Diego SP Squadron “Piloting” course on Tuesdays start-

ed April 24 to June 26 at SWYC.

San Diego SP Squadron has a “Navigation” course on Mon-

days 6:30-8:30pm April 16-June 25 at SWYC.

WHAT IS COMING UP? After the “Seamanship” class completes we will be starting

a “Piloting” class on May 10 with P/Cdr David Nack, JN.

“Piloting” is the first course in the sequence of USPS ad-

vanced courses on navigation, covering the basics of coastal

and inland navigation. This course focuses on navigation as

it is done on recreational boats today and embraces GPS as

a primary navigation tool while covering enough of tradi-

tional techniques so the student will be able to find his/her

way even if their GPS fails. The course includes many in-class

exercises, developing the student’s skills through hands-on

practice and learning. Ten classes of two hours each normal-

ly are scheduled for presentation of this course. In addition

the students have seven days to complete the open book

exam. Topics covered include:

Charts and their interpretation Navigation aids and how they point to safe water Plotting courses and determining direction and distance The mariner’s compass and converting between True

and Magnetic Use of GPS – typical GPS displays and information they

provide, setting up waypoints and routes, staying on a GPS route.

Pre-planning safe courses and entering them into the GPS

Monitoring progress and determining position by both GPS and traditional techniques such as bearings and dead reckoning

The “Seaman’s Eye” – simple skills for checking that one is on course.

A Note from the Commander Contd. From P. 2

Your squadron was well represented by one or more mem-

bers attending several Opening Day ceremonies at local

Yacht Clubs including Santa Margarita YC, Oceanside YC, and

Southwestern YC. There was lots of pageantry with Color

Guards, bands, dignitaries and lots of food! It was another

great reminder of the wonderful boating community that we

are lucky to be surrounded by in beautiful Southern Califor-

nia.

One of our newest educational offerings, Practical-On-The-

Water (POTW) training got underway this past month with a

bit of a test run by D/C Shawn Goit, JN in his new runabout.

See the photo on P. 9 in The Mariner’s Needle.

Attention! In May, due to a scheduling conflict with OYC

the next All Member / Guest Event (GMM) will be on the 30th

rather than on the usual 3rd Wednesday. Please make note

of this on your calendars and plan to attend. This will be a

pot luck dinner and the “dress code” is Hawaiian shirts so

break out your favorite floral prints – extra points for white

shorts, skirts, or pants!

Wishing you calm seas and bright horizons,

Crispy Carnitas Tacos

Crispy smoked pork carnitas

tacos with avocado-lime

crema, quick pickled onions

and cilantro.

Really, is there anything more

perfect?

Nothing says Cinco de Mayo like colorful and super flavorful

tacos. Carnitas Tacos, AKA pulled pork tacos that are crisped-

up and served with a velvety avocado-lime crema.

I don’t know about you, but I love a simple taco with really

good stuff inside. A simple taco that is super balanced with

“stuff” like 7-hour smoked pork shoulder, quick pickled red

onions, avocado-lime crema, and cilantro.

Smoking a pork shoulder for 7 hours is totally optional. Any

shredded pork will work. You can cook pork in an instant pot,

slow cooker, or whatever method you choose. But if you do

want smoky amazingness, you will definitely try my low and

slow smoked pork shoulder recipe.

Ingredients: Tortillas Carnitas (recipe for smoked pork shoulder at https://

saltpepperskillet.com/recipes/smoked-pork-shoulder/) Cilantro Avocado-Lime Crema 1 Ripe Avocado, peeled and pitted 1/2 Lime, juiced 1/8 teaspoon Salt 1/8 teaspoon Pepper Quick Pickled Onions 1/2 Red Onion, skin removed and cut into 1/4" slices

crosswise 1/4 tsp Sugar 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt 1/2 cup Rice or Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions: To make the Quick Pickled Onions: 1. Place the sliced onions in a small strainer and pour a few

cups of boiling water over the top. 2. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a glass jar or a

small bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. 3. Add the onions to the pickling liquid and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Placing in the

refrigerator will stop the pickling process. To make the Avocado Crema: Blend all of the crema ingredients until smooth. Cover tightly with plastic wrap if not using right away. To make the Tacos: 1. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with a

drizzle of canola oil. When the skillet is hot, add the cooked shredded pork and let it start to get crispy be-fore stirring. You just want to warm it through and get the edges crispy.

2. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or over a gas flame on your stove. Spoon the avocado crema onto the tortillas, followed by the pork, pickled onions, cilantro and a lime wedge.

Safety Officer’s Report By Jake Alcantara, S

Keeping Your Shore Power Cables Safe

As the season of Summer approaches, some of the most important boat maintenance is

often overlooked in excitement for the season. One of the most critical systems on the list of

general maintenance is making sure your AC shore power cables are safely and properly used

and stored.

The primary causes of AC shore power cable problems are overheating and corrosion. Charred

plugs and receptacles are the most common and are a result of resistance build up due to loose or

corroded connections, which in turn generate heat and the potential for fire. The problem is espe-

cially prevalent among boats that continually run high energy loads such as water heaters and air

conditioning units.

Regular inspections of your shore power cables should ensure that they are in acceptable condition,

establishing that your cables have not undergone any discoloration or corrosion. It is highly recommended that you replace

your AC shore power cables if the following is discovered upon inspection:

Signs of chafe Cracks Split insulation Electrical tape repairs

It is also recommended that your power cables be stored in a dry compartment that cannot be heavily affected by the

elements. Possessing corrosion-free and undamaged shore power cables can prevent any extended damage that

can be caused to the rest of your AC shore power system.

This Playmobil Toy Boat Has Been Sailing the High Seas for Almost a Year

Children usually launch their toy pirate ships in a pool or bathtub, but 2 Scottish brothers decided that they wanted their toy ship to tackle the high seas. They launched it from Peterhead, Scotland, last May (2017), and it has been sailing the world’s seas and oceans ever since. Ollie Ferguson (8) and brother Harry (5), launched their Playmobil pirate ship into the North Sea as part of a bucket list of adventures that they put together. Their parents were more than happy to help out, preparing the ship for its maiden voyage. The toy ship had a counterweight added, to help it stay afloat, and its hull was filled with polystyrene to improve its buoyancy. But despite these modifications, no one expected it to still be sailing, almost a year after be-

ing launched from Peterhead. Recently, and when within 100 miles off Guyana, a very strong current blew it towards the Bahamas. Named “Adventure” by the boys, the ship sailed from Peterhead all the way to Denmark, where a family found it and set it on its way again. It then reached Sweden and Norway and every time it reached a shore, someone would find it and launch it again. A Swedish lady named Aksel found it on a seashore rock. She replaced the broken sail with a new one and sent it back to the ocean again. The “Adventure” carries a written message asking anyone who finds to launch it back into the sea. After being launched from the Norwegian shoreline last year the “Adventure” was taken aboard the “Christian Radich” , a Norwegian full-rigged ship and transported to Morocco where it was put back into the sea on November 8, 2017. It is reported that Adventure has tackled 65’ waves. It is hard to imagine anyone anticipating that the “Adventure” would last so long at sea, but Ollie and Harry’s father did find the idea of tracking the toy boat on its voyage exciting, so before launching it into the North Sea, he partnered up with a leading GPS tracking company to have it equipped with a state-of-the-art transmitter. So they’ve been able to keep an eye on the Adventure’s location ever since the beginning. The boys love it, their father MacNeill Ferguson said. “When they come home from school, they ask if there is any news about the ship.” It is believed that the battery is now running low, so if either you or someone you know, sees the pirate ship, please report the sighting. You may find the “Adventure” on Facebook. Check out the tracking itinerary. Article suggested by Jon Elshaug.

Education Report continued from Page 5

The “Junior Navigation” class will start May 15. “Junior Navi-

gation” follows on “Advanced Piloting” and is the first in a

two-part program of study in offshore navigation, followed by

the “Navigation” course. It is designed as a practical "how to"

course. Subject matter includes:

Precise time determination Use of the Nautical Almanac Taking sextant sights of the sun Reducing sights to establish lines of position Special charts and plotting sheets for offshore navigation Offshore navigational routines for recreational craft

We will have an “Engine Maintenance” course starting in June

taught by Hal Casey, a member and professional diesel me-

chanic. It is currently scheduled to start June 5 but the date

might change slightly. The “Engine Maintenance” course

stresses the diagnosis of modern systems, while also teaching

the basics of engine layout and operation. Gasoline inboards,

outboards, and diesel engines are taught in a way that rein-

forces the common aspects of how engines work. This new

course is complete in one book with one exam.

Modern engines offer high reliability and good performance

through the use of computerized systems for fuel delivery and

engine timing. Most of these systems are “black boxes” that

can no longer be serviced by weekend mechanics with ordi-

nary tools. The EM course covers those repairs that do-it-

yourselfers can still perform, teaches how to diagnose prob-

lems that might be beyond your ability to fix, and how to share

information with your mechanic so the right repairs get per-

formed. The new Engine Maintenance course also covers basic

mechanical systems such as drive systems (propellers), steer-

ing systems, and engine controls. The last chapter discusses

solutions you might use to problems that could occur while

afloat and away from a repair facility. Gasoline, diesel, and

outboard engines are treated independently in this chapter.

Kidde Fire Extinguisher Recall November 2, 2017 - In conjunction with

the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Com-

mission (CPSC), Kidde announced a

recall to replace certain Kidde fire extin-

guishers.

The replacement program was initiated

because certain fire extinguishers can

become clogged or require excessive

force to activate, posing a risk of failure to

discharge. In addition, the nozzle can

detach with enough force to pose an im-

pact hazard. The product recall involves

two styles of Kidde disposable fire extin-

guishers: plastic handle fire extinguishers

and plastic push-button fire extinguishers.

There are two styles of fire extinguishers

included in the recall: certain plastic han-

dle fire extinguishers and push-button

Pindicator fire extinguishers.

Review the website link below for the

Fire Extinguisher Recall Identification

Guide to help determine if you have an

affected fire extinguisher.
