DIVE REPORT FROM OUR PRESIDENT, SFRD’S PRESIDENT THAT IS …

A dive report: I returned this morning from 4 day dive trip at the Channel Islands, chasing bugs and fish aboard the Sand Dollar. The weather did not cooperate.

On day 1, we took shelter on the lee side of Catalina, checking out ship rock for yellow tails. None taken. Water was in the high 60's. We looked for bugs and fish at three more dive sites

along the shore to the north of Ship rock. The bugs were small and only a few legal bugs were taken, even during two night dives.

On day 2, we ventured to Tanner Banks. The water was flat, with little swell and moderate current, but it was cooler, in the low 60's.

Tanner banks is about 70 feet deep, and I could see the bottom if I dropped down to 30 feet.

We stayed there all day and collected maybe ten yellows. A few divers saw blue fin tuna, including me, but none were taken. We moved onto San Nick and anchored at Dutch Harbor.

On day 3, the water laid down and we chased yellows around some offshore pinnacles. With

offshore pinnacles, the current can be miserable. It was, and this was drift diving for fish where a skiff

carries you up current, drops you off and float back to the dive boat or to the current line. The current was strong enough that guys on the hanging on the current line had their masks dislodged when current

pulsed. The 3 to 4 foot swell was going in one direction and the current was going in the other direction. When the crest of the swell hit you, you could glide up the current line. With the trough, you

had to hang on hard. But, we found fish, perhaps a dozen yellows to 30 pounds.

Day 4 was forecast to be very snotty with seas to 15 feet and winds to 30 knots. We opted to try spearing for a few hours on the last day.Day 4 was snotty. We anchored on an

offshore pinnacle. Swells were 6 to 8 feet, winds about 10 to 15 knots, and white caps were forming. We dove for an hour before things got too snotty. One yellow, 38 pounds, was taken. Since I was the oldest and slowest of the divers, I opted to stay on the boat. I like to avoid situations where I might have to be rescued. Too many things can and do go wrong, and I don't want to endanger myself or anyone else. After an hour, the winds and sea got too nasty to stay there. We pulled anchor and headed downwind and to port. How windy was it? The trip from San Nick to San Pedro usually takes 10 hours. We took 7 hours

STAMMTISCH By Pierre Hurter

Food is one of the great things about living in San Francesco. It’s not all about fancy dinning establishments where people compare and contrast the virtues of organic, free-range quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) from Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia or Columbia while sipping hand selected coffee beans that have been artisanaly roasted in a 100 year old cast iron pan before being hand ground. I use an antique Armin Tressor coffee mill, it reduces the chances of scorching the coffee and provides a bit of exercise in the process. Sure there’s plenty of that going on in the City, but there’s lot’s more.

As an example, the other day I had lunch at La Torta Gorda on 24th. They feature food typical to the state of Puebla, lamb, and no goat for example. I’m a fan of the mole poblano, but the other day they had mole verde as the special, delicious. They don’t serve beer, but the Aguas Frescas, 2 different flavors every day, are delicious, try the

cucumber. They have great Mexican style sandwiches as well and two big screen TV’s that are pretty much continuously playing soccer games. The owners are friendly, remember you and make great suggestions.

It’s quite a contrast to tacolicious, four locations; in the City, I tried the one on Valencia Street. I slid up to the bar and started working on the chips and salsa while I studied the menu. Tacos were great, even the kale salad the guys next to me were sharing looked appealing. The Tequila and Mescal menu is huge, I counted somewhere around 120, beers on tap adequate, but not luxurious. The thing you notice right away though is that this is another of the City’s Mexican restaurants for white people.

I’ve noticed the phenomenon even on 24th Street in the heart of the Mission, you have places full of hipsters and those full of locals, but rarely both. Kind of makes you wonder.

I finished reading Twain’s Feast, Searching For America’s Lost Foods by Andrew Beahrs. It would seem that today’s interest in “real” food is nothing new; it’s more of a return to our culinary roots. Not that I have any big need to try out roasted possum or raccoon supper, but reading Twain’s description of lake trout from Tahoe fried in bacon fat made my mouth water.

The record catch for a Lake Tahoe trout, back in 1911, was better than 31 pounds.

Here’s a recipe for fried trout from Juliet Corson’s Practical American Cookery and Household Management, 1886. Clean, wash and dry small trout; season them with pepper and salt; roll them in dry flour, and plunge them into enough smoking-hot fat to entirely cover them. As soon as they rise to the surface of the fat, and are light brown, take them up with a skimmer, lay them for a moment on brown paper to free them from fat, and then serve them at once. In the country, trout are usually fried with salt pork.

It’s fun to read about a time when American’s were passionate about food. It was not just a way to keep the body fueled it was a connection to hearth and place. Twain made a list of some eight American foods that he wanted served at a “modest. Private affair,” all to himself, the moment he stepped off his steamer.

My favorites include radishes, fried chicken, southern style, maple syrup, new potatoes, roast beef, cranberry sauce, peach cobbler, soft shelled crabs …

Closer to home and on a different topic, I’ve been giving some thought to what is going on here in San Francisco. Life, it’s complicated. We are in the midst of seismic changes here in

The City. On the one hand we have people who have lived here for decades being forced out of their homes; on the other hand you have people who blithely declare, “I believe in capitalism”.

Fair enough, but what is capitalism? According to Wikipedia it is an economic system in which trade, industry, and the means of production are privately owned and operated via profit and loss calculation (price signals) through the price system. Central characteristics of capitalism include private property, capital accumulation, wage labor and, in some situations, fully competitive markets. In a capitalist economy, the parties to a transaction typically determine the prices at which they exchange assets, goods, and services. An economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, especially as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth.

It’s not a belief system, religion or philosophy, it’s an economic system. Capitalism is often linked to democracy, as if the two were somehow inextricably; linked particularly by the rant radio crowd, but I note that one of the most successful capitalist countries today is China, as in Communist Red China. I know that’s no longer politically correct, but they are a commie country. Going back in time you have Nazi Germany, a thoroughly capitalist country and despite what Rush Limbaugh has to say, a fascist country.

Capitalism, it’s neither good nor evil, it’s amoral, like a hammer. When your pounding nails to build a house its good, when you’re pounding your neighbor’s head, into mush it’s bad. Life, it’s complicated and we all make decisions based on what we think are in our best interests. Of course that’s not always what’s in the interests of the larger society … it’s complicated.

I had lunch at the St. Francis Soda Fountain, again, I’ve mentioned it before, but I think they have the best-corned beef hash in town. I’ve been thinking about how the City has changed since I first dragged my duffel bag down to the old PG&E office on Mission Street to start working back in 1984. That building is long gone along with its mystery storerooms in the basement, full of artifacts from the past. Just take a random walk anywhere south of Market and you can watch people shooting up behind the Federal Courthouse on Mission or step into an expansive new bakery, where you can watch the bakers bake, pick out a tart or two and have some house made, artisanal coffee while you watch the world go by.

I was on a mission, heading for Stompers on Folsom Street to pick up a pair of Great Barrier "Water Resistant - Puma Brown Redback boots. They’re great if you are on your feet all day, say

on a steel deck, schlepping and hauling and unlike Blundstones, Redbacks are still made in Australia.

Since I was already south of the Slot, I thought I would take a random wonder to see how the neighborhood is shaping up. Maybe it’s only me, but there is something wrong with a neighborhood where hipsters dressed like bums making six figures mingle with bums, dressed like bums while they chat about stock options and how they are going to get hit with a big tax bill when their options come due.

On a more upbeat note I just got my Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue n the mail. Nothing I can’t live without, but there are a few items that piqued my interest. There’s the “Determined Socialite’s Cocktail Shaker” it has a 110-ounce capacity. That translates to almost fourteen 8-ounce martinis for you and a few of your closest friends. Or how about the 50th anniversary Lava Lamp? I think the best of the batch is the Mistletoe Drone, it delivers the mistletoe where and when you need it.

I have to say, my favorite Christmas catalogue is the one from Neiman Marcus. If you’re looking for something special for that certain someone, this could be it.

For this year, items include a custom motorcycle built and designed by Keanu Reeves, along with a riding tour in Malibu and Santa Monica with the actor himself and the co-owner of Reeves’s Arch Motorcycle, Gard Hollinger. There are only three such bikes

for sale, each going for $150,000.

The priciest item in this year’s Christmas book is a trip to India, for $400,000. The trip entails 12 days of travel for two in private planes and vintage cars to grand hotels, fancy restaurants, as well as a dance lesson on a private Bollywood movie set.

There are of course some budget items as well, like guitars designed by ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons for $30,000, a $95,000 Neiman Marcus Mustang, or a $90,000 balloon ride that will take six people 100,000 feet above the ground. The 2015 book is 196-pages and will go to 900,000 households. Stay tuned; I’m contemplating the balloon ride.

On the local scene, continuing on the theme of discoveries of the month … Modern Times Book Store on 24th in the Mission is for sale, “44-year-old cultural institution seeks new owner.” I wish them luck, I hate to see a bookstore bite the dust, whatever they’re ideological inclination. All to often nowadays we close our minds to ideas we don’t agree with. On the long run that can only lead to narrow minds.

Wandering around town I stumbled on KitTea in Hayes Valley. Its San Francisco’s first Japanese style cat café. KitTea has partnered with Wonder Cat Rescue. Depending on size and how well the cats get along, the

cafe can host up to 15 cats at a time. If you’re looking for some tea or maybe want to adopt a cat, this might be the place. Check out Ace or take in a cat themed movie.

Closer to home with all the hubbub surrounding real-estate in this town there are still there are still spots where the windows have been papered over for years. Real Foods , down the street on 24th, was a funky, free-range, organic produce sort of place that was shut down on Labor Day 12 years ago on the eve of the employees unionizing. The spot is still empty. Now I don’t pretend to be and expert in real state finance, but an empty storefront doesn’t seem to be a particularly profitable enterprise.

Not like the brothers George and Harry Gray, they made millions running strip quarries in Upper Noe Valley, Corona Heights and Telegraph Hill. The quarries supplied rock used in construction, street paving and Bay fill, during an earlier building boom in San Francisco. Of course the damage they created by dynamiting Telegraph Hill still causes landslides in wet winter. They destroyed neighborhoods, ignored the law, bribed judges and cheated their employees. The City Attorney called them “constant law breakers.”

Sound familiar? It seems that San Francisco has always

welcomed scofflaws with welcome arms or was this just an early form of disruptive technology?

The brothers opened their first quarry on the eastern side of Telegraph Hill. They began dynamiting the rock face with little regard for the neighbors. They did give parents enough notice to grab their kids and hunker down while their neighborhood was destroyed.

A judge issued an injunction in 1895, forbidding the Gray brothers from blasting on

Telegraph Hill. In response, the brothers opened quarries in Corona Park and Billy Goat Hill at Castro and 30th streets. They also continued to blast on Telegraph Hill, though they denied it.

Between 1906 and 1911, Harry and George were sued 52 times. The plaintiffs included their bankers, suppliers of steel, machinery, explosives, hardware, repairs, groceries, cigars and the State of California. The only people who were paid on time were their attorneys, who set up the Western Development Syndicate, a Nevada corporation, as the quarries’ legal owners.

Generous bribes to Judges and the Board of Supervisors alongwith a phalanx of lawyers probably helped the brothers with their legal hassles.

In 1914 Joe Lococco, a Sicilian immigrant working for the Gray brothers wasn’t paid because he missed payday due to sickness; his family was facing eviction from their Potrero Hill apartment.

Lococco went to see George Gray at the quarry at 29th and Castro Streets. When Gray laughed at his tale of misery. Lococco pulled out a gun and shot him. Following a brief, sensational trial, the jury found Lococco not guilty by reason of temporary insanity and released him. The Gray brothers’ company went bankrupt.

I’ve heard it said before and I think it’s true; San Francisco politics is all about real estate and who controls it and what is done with it. It was Mark Twain who said “buy land, they aren’t making anymore.”

Between exotic house brewed coffee and watching people shooting up behind the Federal Courthouse I managed to get in a dive for November. A hardy band of Reef Divers, Steve, Jim,

Norm Gerda and Gavin, visiting from Los Angeles, a lifeguard and rescue diver, plus me, headed out to sea aboard the Sanctuary for our monthly dip in the pool.

We dropped in at Aumentos, headed for the bottom around 75 feet and proceeded to be whisked back and forth by the surge. Water temperature was a balmy 55 degrees and the visibility around 20 feet. All in all not a bad dive … except for the bubbling leak in my second stage, fixed once I took it apart and spit into it and the slow, but inescapable leak in my left arm. We were diving our doubles. They’re up for a viz in January and we’re thinking of splitting them up and going back to single tanks. Don’t really do the sort of diving where doubles are useful and they are a pain to schlepp around.

If you’re looking for a set of twin Faber LP 100’s with either a 42 or 55 pound lift wing, let me know, I may be able to help you out.

It was Gerda’s 1000th dive, to celebrate the event we headed for

the London Pub and had a pint or two, along with cups of chowder, fish and chips and hamburger sliders. Well, I had a coke so I wouldn’t fall asleep on the drive home, but I was celebrating in spirit.

We stopped by Any Water Sports for a couple of fills and a pit stop. Frank quickly diagnosed my leak as a broken dump valve, who knew. That’s one of the things I love about diving, especially dry, there’s always something that needs to be attended to. No wonder people like to dive in warm, crystal clear waters … must be getting old.

That’s it for November, hard to believe that the year is almost over. Won’t be long and we’ll be waiting for Santa, will he bring an orange or a lump of coal? With all of the disheartening news of late I can’t help but think of Mark Twain when he said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice.” So go out there and see a bit of the world or at least check out your own backyard.

SFRD NOVEMBER’S BLAST FROM THE PAST Once again You are There, the time is November 1995, here are some of the highlights of Volume 26 No. XI of The Reef Diver Times, Newsletter of the San Francisco Reef Divers. For those of you wondering how this is possible, you need only remember Mr. Peabody of Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show. As you may recall, Mr. Peabody, first name possibly Hector, a beagle and the smartest being in existence. A Nobel laureate, Olympic medalist, scientist an inventor, despite his many accomplishments, he is lonely. So, he decides to adopt. He meets Sherman a dorky, bespectacled,

red-haired boy. After saving Sherman from a group of bullies, Peabody discovers that Sherman is an orphan and decides to adopt him. After a court appearance and a talk with the President and the government, Peabody becomes Sherman's new guardian.

As a birthday gift for Sherman, Peabody invents the WABAC (Wayback) time machine. He and Sherman go back in time to see a Roman speaking in Latin; Peabody adds a translator circuit to the machine so that everyone seems to speak English. Their next trip is to see Ben Franklin flying his kite and discovering electricity, but Peabody and Sherman realize that they cannot interact or change

the past.

Peabody makes some more adjustments, turning the WABAC into a "should-have-been machine". That brings us to where we are now …

The front-page headline under November Entertainment was … Duh, duh, Duh, duh, Duh, duh …

Well-known and highly respected Great White Shark scientist extraordinaire, Ken Goldman, will present, in his typical animated fashion, his fascinating research to our club at the November general meeting on November 21! Ken who spent most of his time on the Farallon Islands observing and filming the habits of these most efficient, aquatic, lean-mean eating machines will present his work through a discussion, live footage and slides – a regular multi-media event. This is a slice of life you won’t want to miss! See you there.

Just in time for Christmas

If you’re looking for that special gift for the diver in your life, look no further. The Dragon is designed and built by DeepFlight and they bill it as a submersible that almost anyone can take out and pilot without extensive experience or training.

The Dragon looks like a combination between a

quadcopter and a Formula 1 race car, it comes with a lithium battery pack that can last up to 6 hours.

The Dragon is the smallest and lightest two-person submarine in existence weighing in at 4,000 pounds and measuring 16 feet in length; the Dragon is small enough to fit on smaller yachts compared to other subs available. That was the major selling point for your editor by the way.

Its also positively buoyant, a nice safety feature; all you need to call a Dragon yours is $1.5

Ban on captive killer whales in the works?

Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, California, said he will introduce the Orca Responsibility and Care Advancement Act to ensure that orcas now at aquatic parks such as SeaWorld will be the last ones, when they die, no other whales will replace them.

The bill would ban taking any whales from the wild (no orca has been captured in U.S. waters since 1976). The legislation aims to phase out the captivity of killer whales by banning breeding, importing and exporting of the animals for public display.

“While efforts to phase out whales in human care may strike an emotional chord, SeaWorld and other science-based organizations are part of the solution, not the problem,” Jill Kermes, a spokeswoman for SeaWorld Entertainment, said in a statement.

Galapagos Gold Rush for shark fins

Back in July of 2011, officers from the Galapagos National Park Service and the Ecuadorian Navy stopped the Fer Mary I, a fishing boat out of the Ecuadorian port of Manta as it sailed within the Galapagos

Marine Reserve. They found 379 shark carcasses.

The case made headlines not only because of the illegal cargo; but also because of the response it received from the local judiciary, which annulled the case. That judge was later suspended by the Ecuadorian federal government and the case taken up for review.

This year, after a four-year legal battle, the captain of the Fer Mary I was sentenced to two years in prison and each of the 12-member crew received a one-year sentence. There may finally be a shift in opinion against illegal fishing in the Galapagos Marine Reserve, witnessed by

Ecuador’s toughening stance against wildlife trafficking.

The Galapagos Marine Reserve is one of the world’s largest protected marine areas, covering nearly 133,000 square kilometers (50,000 square miles). Since its establishment in 1998, enforcement of Ecuadorian fishing regulations inside the Reserve has been chronically underfunded. Overfishing, tourist development and an influx of invasive species brought the Galapagos Islands to the brink of a crisis.

Shark finning remains major problem. Even though shark finning is illegal in Ecuador, sharks caught as by-catch can be landed legally due to an amendment made to a law in 2007.

My fleece jacket is ending up in fish?

We all probably have at least one, probably more fleece jackets, vests, caps; you name it lying around the house. Ranging from high end to the company logo safety giveaway, fleece is ubiquitous.

According to a study published early this year in Science we’re dumping 8 million tons of plastic into the oceans each year. That’s a huge figure, but it doesn’t account for the billions of plastic fibers from synthetic apparel that goes from your washing machine and enter rivers, lakes, and oceans.

These fibers, as well as bits of degraded trash and microbeads from personal care products, have generated a long list of questions and concerns among environmental scientists. In a study in Nature, Chelsea Rochman, a marine ecotoxicologist from the University of California, Davis, addressed one of the chief concerns: Are those fibers and other microplastics getting into our food system? The short answer: Yes.

Dungeness Crab Season on Hold

The California Department of Public Health is warning that potentially deadly levels of domoic acid have been found in Dungeness crab and rock crab caught along the coastline between Oregon and the southern border of Santa Barbara County. As a result, the state Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has delayed the November 15 start of the commercial crab season


9

Officials in Oregon and Washington are testing crab samples and will decide soon whether to open its coastal season by Dec. 1 as planned.

On the mild side, toxic crabs can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and headache, according to public health officials who say the symptoms

can persist for days. Severe poisoning can kill a victim, short of that; the poisoning can also lead to permanent short-term memory loss, coma, seizures and other symptoms.

Media and The Reef Diver Times

On the topic of media, six corporations currently own 90 per cent of the media outlets in the U.S., according to Business Insider. Even non-corporate media is corporate-sponsored. National Public Radio, for example, takes funding from industry groups

like America’s Natural Gas Alliance, which leads those who oppose fracking.

Ownership influences the editorial content, as well as the allocation of resources to cover stories. Not reporting on a topic can tell us as much about a news source’s stance as the topics it does cover - as do the images we see and don’t see … propaganda by omission.

We, The Reef Diver Times, have rebuffed all offers of consolidation, buyout and merger, we remain fiercely independent, there are no strings attached … stay tuned.
