A bunch of us on our dock have had our personal
interactions with him. And I’m pretty sure he’s
been named separately by each of us. He’s
a charismatic mallard duck who is by all rights
tame. He waddles up with intention—no fear or
shyness. His little duck face and eyes communicate
direct questions:
“Do you know how to turn on this spicket thing?”
I fed him some bread and he hung out with me for
a while after he was full. We sat together. I sat,
he stood. He stared at me with his piercing beady
duck eyeballs and his head cocked to one side—
like he was trying to gure me out. He kept
murmuring that weird under-the-breath duck
language that frankly, sounds kind of like he might
be judging me.
stopped that duck babble. He was peering into
my very soul. Two different species connecting
and communicating with no barriers—sharing a
transcendent moment. We were equals—he from
the avian world and me from the human realm.
We both knew what was happening and were both
intensely engaged in this rare moment.
“What?” I asked out loud.
He leaned in and craned his neck so he could stare
at me with even more intent.
“What is it?” I said locked into his black duck eyes.
Now, I’m not sure about this next part but I think
he said…“You’re a jackass.”
I’m actually uncertain as to what he said exactly,
but it got weird after that. He walked around in a
disjointed circle and acted kind of aimless—I got
up and went to work.

A bit south of LAX, two gray whales surfaced side by side and this “keeper” was captured. The
boat was turned off and drifting as the duo surfaced off the stern. Two big breaths reverberated in
the cavernous lungs of these southbound leviathans and one of them dived deep, pointing its uke
high in the air. There’s quite a few shots like this in existence but it’s still pretty cool to capture
such a moment. It’s been a banner year for whale watching—check them out but wildlife experts
and scientists beg you to give them their space—ride behind, don’t cut them off and cause them to
change direction. Let them do their thing.
Introduction to Yacht Racing returns for the fth
year to bring new people into the sport of yacht
racing. Presented by South Bay Yacht Racing
Club, the event will be hosted by Del Rey Yacht
Club from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday March 15.
The 5th annual event is open to anyone over age
18 who wants to learn to race.
The day begins with classroom instruction
on crew action while racing, terminology
and safety. Teaching continues with hands-on
training aboard boats at the dock.
The day wraps up with a race inside the marina
that includes a start sequence. It’s great way
to meet skippers and join a crew for the
upcoming season.

According to multiple news reports, the local sea
lion population is enduring a period of struggle.
According to NOAA Fisheries a record number
of sea lion pups have been turning up on local
beaches, apparently completely malnourished.
The prey source is just too far away for the
mothers to go out, get food and come back and
wean the pups,” Jim Milbury, told Yahoo News.
Milbury is a public affairs ofcer for NOAA.
Local marine mammal rescuer Peter Wallerstein
told Yahoo:
“I’m just dealing with it one animal at a time,
as best as we can, we rescued four today [even
though] we are limited to three a day because
the rehab center is so full . We had to leave some
adults on the beach. It’s like a paramedic not
having a hospital to bring a patient.”

On April 10th many local organizations, community advocates and the
county itself are gearing up for Marina del Rey’s 50th anniversary bash
that is poised to be quite an event.
The Los Angeles County of Beaches and Harbors and the folks from
Marinafest are joining forces to create a weekend full of activities and
attractions to celebrate a half a century of what was the largest man-
made harbor in the world when built. Talk of politics and the affects of
redevelopment will take a back seat to good times and a festive agenda.
Popular 70s band Three Dog Night will be performing their huge hits at
Burton Chace Park after the ofcial ceremony in complete. Following the
concert look for reworks to light up the April sky.
The following days Marinafest takes the baton and presents what they
have been forging for the past seven years – a multi faceted event that this
year will include a classic car show, boat parade, gourmet food trucks and
an historic tour of the marina. There will also be four tall ships docked in
the harbor with battle reenactments scheduled.
“It’s going to be a lot of activity,” said Carol Baker, Division Chief
Community & Marketing Services Division. “I really think it’s going to
have something for everyone – it will denitely be a lot of fun.”

or readers who don’t know her, the
1981 Catalina 38 Superstar has raced
more PHRF races, won more trophies,
and was crewed by more ne sailors
than any other yacht in Santa Monica
Bay, so I felt honored to be aboard.
I still remember the scene vividly, for is was
as if a number of actors, writers, and scenic
technicians created a comic play just for me.
The curtain went up when I greeted part owner
David Epstein and a friend named Sid from my
yacht club who were both seated in the cockpit.
“I didn’t know you two were acquainted.”
I remarked.
look familiar.” he added to Sid.
“I’ve seen you around too. Where do you live?”
said Sid to David.
“Venice Beach.” David answered.
“What do you do?” asked David.
“I sell drugs.” said Sid.
At this point I bit my tongue to avoid laughing
out loud. You see Sid was a LAPD sergeant
with a great sense of humor who was hugely
anti drugs, but I was the only one aboard who
knew that.
sense of humor and responded, “That explains
it. I buy drugs.” at which point the rest of
the crew cracked up at David’s lie for it
was well known David was denitely not
a drug user.
Only later did I share the other half of the joke
by revealing Sid’s occupation, which was only
one of the great laughs we had aboard this
venerable racer.
years, starting as only occasional crew when
I was visiting here from Mexico and later as
the regular tactician and spinnaker trimmer,
I enjoyed more than a hundred races and many
hundreds of additional hours having intimate
contact with all of her parts from her masthead
instruments to her race faired keel.
A list of the ne sailors and accounts of their
memorable times aboard  Superstar  would
stretch this story into the next three issues, so
you can understand the empty spot I felt when
business and family responsibilities displaced
David’s time and resources from racing.
Superstar was sold as a cruiser.
Steve Zimmerman became the new owner who
I met earlier when he was considering Superstar
as his family cruiser for Catalina Island holidays.
He was a personable high school teacher who
also coached some of the school’s sports teams.
The following spring I happened to spot Steve
at one of the seminars we held to prepare novice
racers for the ASMBYC Home Port Regatta. I
re-introduced myself.
with a ember of racing re still glowing in
my gut.
“Nah. I’m just here to check it out with a friend.
Sailing around yelling isn’t my thing. Besides
I don’t know much about racing and I don’t
know other sailors who could crew,” was his
disappointing answer. Shortage of crew is the
most common reason cited for not racing.
But Steve must have had some spark of that
racing re himself or he wouldn’t have been
there. I drew out my bellows to see if the spark
could be blown into a ame.
“You may not know that I’ve been very active
with the Mentor Program.” I said. “We match
experienced coaches with novice racers to
help grow our regular racing eets. David is a
good friend and a generous guy who might be
available to help coach your team. Would you
be interested in some mentoring? I can set it up.”
Without inquiring where bears relieve
themselves he enthusiastically accepted my
offer. Steve and his novice crew of friends, with
the former owner and champion racer aboard
to mentor, went on to have a ball competing in
the Home Port Regatta. Thus began Superstar’s
resurrection as a racer two years ago.
I gave Steve a phone call last week to chat about
how he went from non-racer to winning skipper
and taking overall honors for his class in only
his second year of racing his boat.
Steve had three colleagues at school who
coached football, track and softball, which gave
him a core crew of four healthy guys who enjoy
learning the skills to compete effectively. They
set out to learn the ropes and race Cruising

hearing a tape replay of the advice I pass on
to all who’ll listen. The common thread to all
successful club level racing is a group of friends
bound by the desire to have fun.
Steve said, “We knew the main thing was to
keep it fun and we never let our competitive

The Superstar story is as heartwarming to me
as the children’s story “The Giving Tree” is to
families. We see how a seemingly inanimate
object, a berglass sailboat, has brought joy and
satisfaction to sailors for a third of a century
and promises to go on doing so for generations
to come.

warm, protected waters. When
Los Angeles, I remember being
impressed and a hair short of
overwhelmed at the sight of
the ocean as I piloted my newly
bought Hobie-16 catamaran
probably be accurately deemed “mild fright”.
Now that I’ve adopted the Santa Monica Bay
as my sailing home I always still consider, what
I see as, the reality of the ocean. Not unlike an
animal in the wild—the ocean is minding its
business and genuinely unconcerned with your 
safety and wellbeing. We react to it and it is
never the other way around.
Now with spring approaching, the boat is
looking alluring again and many are ready to
take the anticipated voyage to our very own
idyllic island located some 30-odd miles off
the coast. A place where the pace is slowed to
a crawl, where there is no trafc and where
little orange sh swim all around your anchored
boat. They are actually aggressive angry little
monsters but I digress.
I could go on and on about how delightful a
place Catalina Island is—a true counter-balance
to the complicated, endlessly moving city of
Los Angles. And navigating one’s own boat to
this retreat is indeed a satisfying feeling. But
that’s the part that needs to be taken seriously…
Over the past twelve years, I’ve covered many
stories that have related to this crossing and
having spoken to many people about the trip.
I’ve noticed a wide variance in how boaters
perceive the passage. Some seem to see it as a
car ride to the next town. No big whoop—gas
her up—we’ll hit the island by mid-afternoon.
“Do we have charcoal? No? That’s okay
we’ll pick it up there.” Then others, who have
promised themselves they’d make the trip at
some point, still haven’t mustered the courage.
They tell themselves the boat isn’t ready, but
it’s more than that. It’s a 65-mile round trip in
the Pacic Ocean and impending tragedy looms
large in their cautious minds—particularly in
spring when the weather is still ckle.
Through this time I’ve written about 12-year-
olds who have made the trip in 8-foot boats.
I’ve done stories on rowers, paddleboarders -
even swimmers who have prepared and crossed,
but have also done more than one article on
seasoned sailors dying along the way.
The real truth is that this is a serious trip and
should be prepared for responsibly, especially
if there are non-boating passengers in the mix.
Underestimating a relatively long passage in
an ocean environment that involves crossing a
major shipping lane is foolish. Calm conditions
are not guaranteed nor are forecasted ones.
Things can change quickly. Folks should enter
into a Catalina crossing prepared for fog,
equipment failure, medical situations and guests
falling in the drink. I liken it to being a pilot in
a single engine airplane. You’re having a good
time but in the back of your head, you’re always
looking at where you can lay that thing down.
A couple of years ago I had planned a sail to the
island in my 21-foot catamaran with my little
dog and girlfriend. The boat is very seaworthy
but it’s always going to be just 21-feet.
The wind was blowing over 12-knots at the
dock. I double-checked for my handheld VHF,
life-vests, batteries, GPS units—went through
and over the boat making sure nothing was
going to come apart once a rugged ocean swell
started man-handling her. As I got out towards
Redondo, winds were gusting to 18 and
I looked around—my little dog, my trusting
but somewhat inexperienced girlfriend,
was right.
20-25 once I got near the island and wave
heights would have also been sizable. There’s
an area, as the island looks close, wear winds
tend to pick up—some call it the Catalina
Fan. Sailors, particularly in smaller boats, have
to be ready for more serious conditions than
they may see on a summer day in the Bay.
Another element worth considering is that the
ocean and winds do not care that you have to
return to work on Monday. Many a boater has
been thrashed on a Sunday evening ghting
conditions that they shouldn’t be in.
“Don’t attempt to return in winds over 20-knots,
high sea conditions or fog with visibility under
1.5 miles,” said Captain Richard Schaefer
who teaches sailing and has made thousands
of crossings to Catalina. “Doesn’t matter how
important the Monday morning meeting is - in
reality it isn’t - stay alive.”
For new boaters, there’s no shame in taking one
of the many classes that the local Coast Guard
Auxiliaries offer or taking private boat handling
lessons from any of the many private Captains
that offer these services. There’s also a great
video called “Cast Off for Catalina” that is
essentially a step-by-step lesson for the specic
trip of Marina del Rey to Catalina (available at
West Marine).
organized and everything is marked off the
checklist. If you’re apprehensive, that’s one
thing—if you’re fearful—bag it. Do some more
local cruising and go get ‘em next time. But
once you get your ducks in a row and make the
 journey, prepare to fall in love – it’s a gorgeous
part of the world.

 I’ve been fooling around in boats for more than
40 years. I’d like to share a few hard learned
lessons with you.
to the head or simply use the shower wand from
the sink and put a pint of freshwater in the bowl
to ush—add more as needed. By eliminating
the saltwater micro-critters from the head you
will reduce the odor substantially. There is also
the added benet of no mineralization build up
in the hoses and valves and fewer repairs. The
amount of freshwater used is inconsequential
over long weekends and short vacations.
Mildew’s musty odor is also ubiquitous
onboard most boats. If possible, wash your
cushion covers once a year, and air the foam
on deck for a full day in the spring sunshine.
While the cushions are out on deck use that
opportunity to wipe down bulkheads, lockers
and compartments with a solution of 10%
bleach—open your hatches. And, while your
crawling around, keep an eye out for repair and
maintenance issues.
is in good repair and ready to deploy in an
emergency. I have known more than one
person who turned around and came back from
Catalina on a busy weekend when there were
no moorings available. I’ve also known boats to
go up on the beach or rocks because an anchor
couldn’t be deployed in a timely manner.
If You’re Thinking You Might Need To Reef
...You Do.
Know how to use your boat’s reeng system,
practice, and put one in early—before things
get ugly.
Whether you’re daysailing, or at the island for
a long weekend, be sure your guests keep their
gear neatly stowed. No one likes to stumble
over clutter or spend a lot of time searching for
stuff. Explain to your guests that you’re not a
“neat freak”, but that “tidy” and “shipshape” is
best for everyone.
Seamanship
don’t rely completely upon them—they are
no substitute for experience or seamanship.
At least, have a handheld compass and paper
charts—and, at a minimum, know basic coastal
navigation. A handheld VHF and GPS are good
back-ups as well.
Depended On It.
By now, most of you know that I prefer the
“Heave To Pickup” to the “Figure 8”. Here,
again, are the basics:
throwable oatation device to the MOB.
B) Assign crew to watch the MOB.
C) Depending on conditions, sail off about two
to three boat lengths—come about—do not
let go the jib sheet. Allow it to “backwind”.
D) Steer the boat toward the MOB. When the
MOB is a few feet off the bow turn the wheel
hard to weather—the leeward quarter will slip
toward the MOB. (On some boats it may be
necessary to ease the main sheet so that the boat
will not comeabout despite the backwinding
headsail. Experiment with your boat under
different conditions to see how she responds.)
E) Have a crew member stand by with a cleated-off
line to throw to the MOB as they come alongside.
F) Get your boarding gate or ladder ready.
If you are on a deep broad reach or run, it might
be better to turn the engine on so you can more
easily and quickly get back to weather. Always
have the engine in neutral as your vessel comes
alongside the MOB. You don’t save any money
buying only one shoe.
Bad Weather.
and wear lifejackets. At night be sure to have
whistles and lights attached (and maybe an
EPIRB) to the PFD. If crew must go forward
use tethers/jacklines.
And Outboard.

you’re at the island. Have a motor that’s reliable

What I’ve Learned About
Boats and Life (Or Like To Think I Have)

hile the Marina del Rey boaters make for the ocean and attempt to return to their slips in the same condition they departed, the political
machine moves forward. The Mariner will now feature “On the Record”—a section where those with a political interest can check
in and see what has been voted on and talked about in the local Small Craft Harbor Commission meetings and interviews with local
politicians and stakeholders. This month the pressing issues were about the toxin levels in the marina that directly relate to bottom
painting practices and the afrmation that the Mariner’s Bay anchorage will be moving forward with substantial changes to both the landside and
waterside sections of that impending redevelopment.
As for the copper issue, also known more technically as the TMDL (total maximum daily load) issue, Hoan Tang, a representative from the Los Angeles
County Department of Public Works, brought the Commission up to speed about what’s happening with the County’s (and others) responsibility to
clean up the pollution in the waters of Marina del Rey.
Hoan discussed the 2014 decision from the EPA (by way of the California Water Board) that the water is, in their estimation, in bad shape and that
something needs to be done. The county responded with a request for a two-year period where they could conduct their own site-specic research. She
wondered if the TMDL goal numbers are “feasible and effective for this [particular] area.” She said that the numbers being demanded for water quality
may not be “applicable or attainable” for such an environment as a working harbor. A team from the Southern California Water Research Project will be
taking the lead on conducting the necessary research to determine if site-specic information will change the equation for a future mitigation.
“Is it all true that [the toxins in question] are harmful and are causing impairments and are really a big issue? We want to test for those,” said Hoan.
She went on to say they plan on going beyond that testing and attempt to learn if there are other conclusions for the data that’s being used to make
these current mandates and determinations. She also stated that part of their mission is to test the information that has been presented is indeed true
and accurate. If the data that determinations are being predicated upon is arguable, actions like dredging and copper paint bans could be reassessed.
Hoan addressed the copper issue specically questioning what the state Water Board’s numbers are based on: “Where did you get the data? Is it really
for our marina or just some arbitrary number that is studied from somewhere and now are applying it to our specic site.”
She spoke to how research is developed and how it can vary depending on the methods used. Hoan indicated aspects like time of day, the season and
how proximity to a rain event (for instance) can affect data. She also raised the question of further determining what actual harm these so-called toxins
are causing the organisms of the water column. Hoan said the research should be complete by summer of 2016 and a report written later in the year.
In other news, representatives for Mariner’s Bay anchorage were granted a green light from the Commission to go forward (to the Board of Supervisors)
with a plan that would revamp the apartment buildings and “demolish and completely replace” the slips. There are currently 392 slips in the basin and
that number will likely go down to 353 or 314 depending on the nal decision of average slip length/width. There is also a “pocket park”, community
room and “bicycle depot” in the mix for the area.
Lastly, The Mariner also contacted Carol Baker, Division Chief Community & Marketing Services Division, about word that Beaches and Harbors
Boating Section Head Debbie Talbot was no longer in that position. Baker said that while Talbot is no longer Boating Section Head, she is still handling
much of what the job encompassed.
“She’s continuing to work on boater outreach, community relations, boating programming - all of that she remains very involved in,” said Baker.
Baker indicated that the status of the position and/or who will occupy the post is in ux.

We are right around the corner for
the rockshing opener and that has a lot of anglers feeling good.
In the meantime local shermen are catching sculpin, seabass,
calico, some sandbass and a few yellowtail in the count.
We’re expecting squid to come in the bay and when it does, should
could make the halibut bite pick up —with any luck the white seabass
will follow.
This season, water temps never
really dropped down as much as what we usually see, which has
kept things interesting.
On the lobster front, hoop netters and divers continue to pick up limits and we still have a good amount of
time left in the season.
As the weather starts getting better it’s a good time to give your
boat a good going-over. Check the batteries, wiring, get that oil changed and maybe shell out for a
tune up so there’s no worries. Be ready for that long offshore run.

Newport Beach, CA - NOSA has added an “Unlimited” class to 2015’s Newport to Ensenada Race.
The addition reects the board’s desire to accommodate non-traditional boats, those that don’t t
into typical class categories. The new class is open to all adventurous racers with a well-equipped
support boat. If you’re agile, fast and daring, this is the race to strut your stuff.
John Sangmeister, a local sailor, was the rst to register in the class. Although he’s sailed in
American’s Cup campaigns, a Santa Cruz 70, a Formula 40 and a 70-foot ORMA, Sangmeister will
race a NACRA F20 Carbon full-foiling catamaran in N2E.
Entries in this class will not be given a handicap, nor will they compete against other classes.
Results will be based only on elapsed time.
Since these boat’s minimalist design prevent the vessel from carrying required safety equipment as
per US Sailing’s coastal racing requirements, participants must provide a dedicated support boat to
follow along and provide assistance if necessary.
Foiling technology has been sailed in the Moth class for some time, but competing manufacturers
are attempting to make more competitive designs with the latest lightweight materials. The result
is speed, upward of 30-knots an hour depending on wind, which will make for a very fun and
exciting race.
Introduction to Yacht Racing returns for the fth
year to bring new people into the sport of yacht
racing. Presented by South Bay Yacht Racing
Club, the event will be hosted by Del Rey Yacht
Club from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday March 15.
The 5th annual event is open to anyone over age
18 who wants to learn to race.
The day begins with classroom instruction
on crew action while racing, terminology
and safety. Teaching continues with hands-on
training aboard boats at the dock.
The day wraps up with a race inside the marina
that includes a start sequence. It’s great way
to meet skippers and join a crew for the
upcoming season.

your crew. In local waters they also make pretty fair life rafts in a pinch.
Never Abandon The Boat For The Water Or A Life Raft Unless It’s
A Step “Uphill”. 
Don’t abandon a sinking boat—let it abandon you. Here’s why:
A) A partially submerged boat is a lot easier to see than
a dinghy or a bobbing lifejacket with a head sticking out.
B) Even in our relatively warm waters, hypothermia will kill you in
a matter of hours - don’t be in a hurry to speed up the process. The boat
may remain aoat longer than you think.
Monday Morning Meetings Can Be Fatal. 
I can’t recall how many times I’ve read of a pilot, motorist or boater who
died because they pushed the odds—thinking they have to be at work
Monday morning—come hell or high water. But, it happens all the time.
If you are at the island and the weather is bad; dense fog, high winds/seas,
or you have serious mechanical problems—if your anchorage is safe, stay
put and wait it out. Monday morning meetings are generally a waste of
time. Don’t waste your life attempting to attend one in adverse conditions.
A Man’s Got To Know His Limitations. 
That’s good advice from Dirty Harry. It’s come in handy for me, both as
a detective and a boat captain. It’s great to work to improve your skills,
but know what they are, and don’t push the limits of either your or the
boat’s abilities.
If The “Fix” Looks Easy—It’s Probably Not Much Of A Fix.
The wind and sea have an unfortunate way of nding the weakness in
men and vessels. I’m a MacGyver “jury rig” kinda guy, but often I have
to force myself to make a proper repair when time and situation allows.
I have paid the price for my “cocky sloth” more than once. Now, I’m
a believer in, “Fix it once—Fix it right.”
There Aren’t Any Free Refills With Life—When That Straw Starts
Sucking Air Get Ready to Shake Hands with Jesus.
I know many aging sailors who say, “You know, in ve or six years I can
retire and start enjoying life.” Year after year they sit at dock—clutching
a glass lled with ice and regrets. They muse and dream of the day when
they can “cast off” for distant horizons. Well, that’s real smart…now that
your youth and health are gone—you’re gonna start enjoying things—
xomeday soon. Sheesh...
Start squeezing out long weekends at the local islands now—just as
long and as often as you can. Things might change before you know it.
Government restrictions and regulations, nances, family problems or
your health may close those doors of opportunity before you can step out
of your harness and into living. “Someday” may never come.
“Carpe Diem” has always been a theme of mine. Mostly I’ve lived “out
of the box”, always reckoned it was probably a good idea...be in one soon
enough.

Start at the highest accessible point of the
boat and work your way down. Always wash
from bow to stern because most boats drain
in this direction.
On hot days, it is very important to not allow
the soap to dry on the surface for this will
damage the nish on your boat. Any water
that is allowed to dry on the nish will cause
water spots that contain lime deposits, which
will require more frequent waxing.
Remember that washing the boat with the
wrong products will damage the paint/
gelcoat,so it’s important to only use soaps
that contain liquid wax or u.v. ray agents and
if possible, use a water lter, it can be your
boat’s best friend.
rule is: the softer the better. Do not use any
abrasive sponges or pads, as they will scratch
and leave spider swirl marks in the gelcoat,
thus, shortening its life.
