You have prepared and planned

and charted and dreamed now it is

time to cast the dock lines and seek

your boating quests. Boats only

work and make sense when they

are free from the bonds of dock and

marinas. Between June and

September PTYC has four planned cruises; The

Saanich Peninsula Cruise, the Reid Harbor July 4th

Cruise, the Anacortes Arts Festival Cruise and the

Pleasant Harbor Cruise. Each of these are detailed

nicely in this month’s Baggywrinkle. PTYC cruises are

really the best way to get to know fellow members.

Sharing boating experiences on the docks or aboard

members’ boats is a relaxing and fun way to connect

with the PTYC family. Interestingly, three of the four

cruises we

have

scheduled

this summer

can be

accessed

also by

driving. So,

if you don’t

have a boat

and you are wondering what a “cruise” looks like, jump

in your car and hook up with us.

GENERAL MEETING

TUESDAY, June 12, 2018

Social @ 6:30PM, Program @ 7:00PM, Meeting @ 7:45PM

“ Creating Globes ”

Speakers: PTYC Member Joe Roubal

Joe will explain his creation of globes for more than 30 years, along with a behind the-scene looks at “How it’s Made” —- a 36 inch 3D terrain globe in slow-motion progress.

Be sure to make our Tuesday, June 12th meeting to learn more about PTYC members.

Commodore’s Column: (concludes)

Commodore Jess Schefstrom

On a somewhat connected subject, what does your

summer reading list look like? If you are open to

suggestions let me offer a few. Everyone knows about the

Patrick O’Brian 20 book series following the travails of

Captain Jack Aubrey and his ship’s surgeon friend Stephen

Maturin. Spanning the turbulent years of the Napoleonic

Wars, O’Brian’s books are the “gold standard” of the genre.

Movie buffs will perhaps remember that the classic “Master

and Commander” movie with Russell Crowe is a peek into

the O’Brian world of naval action. Another high quality

series are the Horatio Hornblower books by C.S. Forrester.

Spanning 12 books the series, like O’Brian’s, covers the

pivotal years England stood against the hated “Bonny” and

the French. The O’Brian and Forrester series of books are

naval historical fiction of high quality that are universally praised for their accuracy

and excitement. I would also offer a third series of this genre that I have found to

be the equal to O’Brian and Forrester. The author is Douglas Reeman who wrote

the Richard Bolitho series of books under the pen name of Alexander Kent. Some

30 books in all, Reeman’s Bolitho is a British naval hero of the first rank. It is hard

to elevate one series of books over another. However, if I was looking for a quick,

fun, exciting read for a summer cruise I would bring a few of the Reeman series to

keep the midnight anchor watch almost enjoyable.

Recreational Boaters Association of Washington (RBAW) Report for June

Copper Bottom Paint Update

Washington State’s adoption of the No Discharge Zone for Puget Sound went into effect as of May 10, 2018. The WA State Department of Ecology who spearheaded the effort to have the National EPA approve of the designation, has stated that enforcement is low-key at first, more of an “education and outreach” approach, not citations.

Although the enforcement is an unfunded mandate, rather than just the Coast Guard boarding vessels, now state officials such as the Dept.of Fish and Wildlife patrol boats, county Sheriffs and even city harbor police can now “enforce” the NDZ. So what does this mean for us, the boaters? Technically, this NDZ declaration only affects those very few recreational boat-owners who have a USCG-approved “type 1” on-board sewage treatment system (aka individual flush treatment LectraSan/ElectroScan, or older batch-process Thetford or Mansfield units). These are now prohibited from discharging in the NDZ. It always was illegal by Federal law to discharge Raw (not-treated sewage) into Puget Sound within 3 miles from the US or Washington State shoreline.

There is no Federal law that states all boats need a holding tank so smaller trailerable boats with a Porta Potty or no holding tank are not in violation of the law. However, if there is a holding tank fitted in the vessel, then raw sewage must be piped to the holding tank for storage and later pumped out at an approved onshore or floating pumpout station. Any plumbing connecting the holding tank or Type 1 treatment device, to an overboard discharge, according to Federal law, must be secured by the following:

1. Padlocking the discharge valve 2. Removing the valve’s handle in the closed position, 3. Securing it with non-removable plastic wire-ties.

The extent of the NDZ goes beyond the lower Puget Sound and extends North to the Canadian border and West in line with the New Dungeness Lighthouse near Sequim. Note that it does include the San Juan Islands. The extent of the enforceable NDZ

Don’t Forget the Deadline for Vessel Renewals

The statewide deadline for renewing your vessel registration in Washington is June 30. You can do this online or in person at the Jefferson County Courthouse Assessor’s Office. Contrary to California (and maybe some other states that bill vessel owner’s separately for personal property tax on their vessel), Washington requires even US documented vessels to also be registered through the State. In Washington, your vessel registration renewal incorporates your vessel’s personal property tax bill.

Email reminders can be requested through the WA Dept. of Licensing website. Also, through another option, LicenseXpress, you can sign up on the website to have all of your vehicles and vessel registrations grouped together to make renewals and other business with DOL easier to accomplish. Also, this option also allows you to sign up for email reminders on your various autos and watercraft.

Also, a WA State Parks and Recreation bulletin as of Spring 2018 reminds boaters that tenders with propulsion machinery less than 10 HP are not required to register as a separate vessel from the WA state registered parent vessel. The tender is required to display the parent vessel’s registration numbers followed by the number “1” affixed to both sides of the bow. (Ex. WN 3717 ZW 1)

Tenders with propulsion machinery over 10 HP are considered a separate vessel. They must be titled and registered and display their own unique identification, registration numbers and validation decals. Note added for clarification: Vessels with propulsion machinery used for means other than exclusively to and from shore from a parent vessel also are considered a separate vessel and must be titled and registered. The State is considering changing its laws for tenders to align with US Coast Guard regulations which allow no exemption from state titling and registration for any tender equipped with propulsion machinery, regardless of HP rating. Tenders of federally documented vessels must be individually titled and registered with the principal state.

Lake Union Seaplane Advisory Buoys

To allow seaplanes to land and take off with greater separation between them and the myriad of other recreational watercraft and boat traffic during periods of peak lake usage, the City of Seattle has permitted a series of 5 pilot-activated flashing yellow lights on top of buoys indicating that seaplane takeoffs or landings are about to occur. These buoys will be in trial operation between Memorial Day and Labor Day and then will be removed. At the end of the 2018 season, the City will decide whether to apply to the Dept.of Natural Resources for a five-year permit.

Buoys will light up about 2-3 minutes before a landing or takeoff to allow watercraft to exit the landing area. This is not a box of lighted buoys but rather a straight line running North and South in the middle of the lake. They do not change any current regulations about right of way for boaters or seaplanes. A map of the buoys will soon be available on the Kenmore Air website at kenmoreair.com/buoys.

Orca Task Force

Governor Inslee by Executive Order has formed an Orca Task Force of more than 30 people representing industry, recreation, tribes, legislators, Park service and Fish and Wildlife to study how to support the health of the Orcas in Washington State waters and RBAW has a seat on one of the three working groups designated for studying the effect of vessels. The other two working groups are studying how to encourage the production of more salmon to sustain the Southern Resident whales (transient whales eat sea mammals such as seals but our residents eat salmon) and the third group is studying pollution issues that affect the whales. One of the key topics in the vessel task force group will be studying the effects of depth sounders on the ability of the whales to use echo location to find the salmon. Unfortunately most of vessel depth sounders use the same frequency as the whales thus interfering with their ability to hone in on their prey. RBAW will be engaged at these meetings and will be reporting progress towards effective and fair solutions.

PTYC Awards 2018 Marine Trade Related Scholarships

The Port Townsend Yacht Club has awarded scholarships annually for the past 27 years. They

are awarded to individuals interested in pursuing studies in boatbuilding, marine trades and

marine sciences. “It was a difficult selection process this year, as we had 10 highly qualified

individuals.” stated Paul Eisenhardt, chairman of the Port Townsend Yacht Club Scholarship

Committee. “The four recipients each exhibited leadership and marine experience beyond what

we normally see in our applicants. We are very pleased to provide scholarships to these 4

recipients: Robert Ferrar, Riley Gabriel, Samantha Rae and Damien Detweiler.

The Port Townsend Yacht Club is already in the process of raising funds

for next year’s 2019 scholarship awards.

With summer just around the corner, this is a great time to set aside your unwanted items and donate them to this year’s Garage Sale, that’s scheduled for Saturday, October 13! New and/or gently-used articles are needed, including

nautical supplies, clothing, kitchen and household items, and more. And remember: During the set-up work sessions, Garage Sale volunteers have an initial opportunity to purchase donated items once they have been priced. Why not volunteer and take

advantage of this great opportunity? Mark your calendars now! Co-Event Captains Katie Habbeger and Muriel Powers

Summer is coming, folks, and I think the short article below is the most valuable thing I’ve put together, ever. Mario Vittone

DROWNING DOESN’T LOOK LIKE DROWNING

The new captain jumped from the deck, fully dressed, and sprinted through the water. A former lifeguard, he kept his eyes on his victim and headed straight for a couple who were swimming between their anchored sportfish and the beach. “I think he thinks you’re drowning,” the husband said to his wife. They had been splashing each other, and she had screamed, but now they were just standing neck-deep on a sandbar. “We’re fine, what is he doing?” she asked, a little annoyed. “We’re fine!” the husband yelled, waving him off, but his captain kept swimming hard toward him. “Move!” he barked as he sprinted between the stunned owners. Directly behind them, not 10 feet away, their nine-year-old daughter was drowning. Safely above the surface in the arms of the captain, she burst into tears and screamed, “Daddy!”

How did this captain know — from 50 feet away — what the father couldn’t recognize from just 10? Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect. The captain was trained to recognize drowning by experts and years of experience. The father, on the other hand, learned what drowning looks like by watching television.

If you spend time on or near the water (hint: that’s all of us), then you should make sure that you and your crew know what to look for when people enter the water. Until she cried a tearful, “Daddy,” the owner’s daughter hadn’t made a sound. As a former Coast Guard rescue swimmer, I wasn’t surprised at all by this story. Drowning is almost always a deceptively quiet event. The waving, splashing and yelling that dramatic conditioning (television) prepares us to look for is rarely seen in real life.

The Instinctive Drowning Response The Instinctive Drowning Response, so named by Francesco A. Pia, Ph.D., is what people do to avoid actual or perceived suffocation in the water. And it does not look like most people expect it to. When someone is drowning there is very little splashing, and no waving or yelling or calling for help of any kind. To get an idea of just how quiet and undramatic drowning can be, consider this: It is the number two cause of accidental death in children age 15 and under (just behind vehicle accidents). Of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult. In 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch them do it, having no idea it is happening.

Drowning does not look like drowning. Dr. Pia, in an article he wrote for the Coast Guard’s On Scene magazine, described the instinctive drowning response like this:

Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is a secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.

Drowning people’s mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale and call out for help. When the drowning people’s mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.

Volume 118, Issue 6 Baggywrinkle Page 13

This doesn’t mean that a person who is yelling for help and thrashing isn’t in real trouble — they are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the instinctive drowning response, aquatic distress doesn’t last long, but unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, reach for throw rings, etc.

Signs of Drowning: Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:

SO, IF A CREWMEMBER FALLS OVERBOARD AND EVERYTHING LOOKS OKAY, DON’T BE TOO SURE. SOMETIMES THE MOST COMMON INDICATION THAT SOMEONE IS DROWNING IS THAT THEY DON’T LOOK AS IF THEY’RE DROWNING. THEY MAY JUST LOOK AS IF THEY ARE TREADING WATER AND LOOKING UP AT THE DECK. ONE WAY TO BE SURE? ASK THEM, “ARE YOU ALRIGHT?” IF THEY CAN ANSWER AT ALL, THEY PROBABLY ARE. IF THEY RETURN A BLANK STARE, YOU MAY HAVE LESS THAN 30 SECONDS TO GET TO THEM. AND PARENTS — CHILDREN PLAYING IN THE WATER MAKE NOISE. WHEN THEY GET QUIET, YOU NEED TO GET TO THEM AND FIND OUT WHY. Submitted by PTYC Member Dale Moses

Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water’s surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.

Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.

From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response, people’s bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs.
