FROM THE HELM 

NWY 

Less Jingle, More Good Cheer 

I knew I was doomed for 

a long holiday season when I 

caught the unmistakable chorus 

of “Jingle Bell Rock” one early 

October evening as I was driving 

home from the boat. Halloween 

candy was still a novelty item 

on store shelves, the leaves were 

still green and hanging tough, 

and there had been no talk of 

decorating, let alone carving 

turkeys. Why—dear reader—was I being 

subjected to Christmas carols? 

I mean, I love the holidays as much as the 

next person, but my idea of a great holiday 

season has a lot more to do with spending 

time with family and friends, exchanging 

meaningful gifts, and perhaps indulging in 

a bit too much holiday cheer (always boat 

and drive responsibly), and a lot less to do 

with easy-listening ballads about a reindeer 

with an oddly illuminated nose, especially 

when they run down Grandma! 

While this might put me at odds with 

some musically-challenged Americans, I’ve 

not met too many serious boaters who spend 

their evenings romping around Christmas 

trees. The flybridge or the salon on occasion, 

perhaps, but certainly not the Christmas tree. 

Grating ditties aside, I’m looking forward 

to having my kids home for the holidays, 

getting out on the boat together for a last 

day trip or two of 2016, and giving my husband, 

Chris, a few carefully chosen nautical 

gifts. While I’m always perusing websites 

and chandleries for inspiration, I had some 

help this year from Northwest Yachting’s staff 

Michelle Zeasman- 

Gibbon 

This Month's Guest Contributors 

who put together our annual Holiday Gift 

Guide. There you’ll find ideas for your favorite 

boater—or perhaps for your own wish 

list—geared for a variety of on-the-water 

pursuits and a plethora of price ranges. 

While the Christmas tree is the point of 

holiday gravity in many homes ashore, some 

boaters instead opt to spend their holidays 

afloat. Home is where the heart is, after all, 

and from this perspective it’s easy to see the 

romance of hanging mistletoe from the rigging 

or decking-out the flybridge rails with 

holiday lights and escaping the craziness 

that often defines December’s back half. 

The summer boating season might feel 

like a long ways off as your eardrums are 

getting bombarded by Christmas carols, 

but the truth is that charter reservations 

are already being booked for summer’s 

primo weeks. If you’re in the market for 

some charter time, be sure to spend some 

time checking out your local options in our 

annual Northwest Charter Guide. 

And should you need a bit more information 

about how chartering works, Sherri 

Huleatt, who is a freelance writer and digital 

marketing strategist at Northwest Explorations, 

presents an insider’s perspective in her 

feature-length article, “Choose Your Own 

Adventure!”, inside this issue. There, boaters 

of all stripes will find some solid advice—from 

the charter company’s point of view—on how 

to maximize a chartered escape. 

In the meantime, on behalf of the Northwest 

Yachting staff, I wish you and your family 

a happy and healthy holiday season, and a 

successful 2017!

Industry Angles 

Seattle Boat Show: New Seminars! 

Buzz begins for the PNW's largest Marine Event 

The Seattle Boat Show, January 27 – 

February 4, 2017, is still several weeks 

off, but already there is a palpable buzz 

among the Pacific Northwest boating 

community. The anticipation has only 

amplified since the release of this year’s 

seminar schedule. With 36 fresh topics 

and 17 new presenters, the lineup has 

more to offer than ever before. 

Prominent to the new lineup is the new 

Offshore Sailing Forum, a two-hour panel 

featuring active and experienced cruisers 

John and Amanda Neal, Andy and Jill Cross, 

Will Curry, and moderator Sarah Curry. 

The brand new topics vary depending 

on category. The technology section 

is particularly robust, ranging from 

modern-mariner essentials like “Ten 

Tips for Using AIS on Your Boat” to 

“iPhones, iPads, and Boats: Tips from 

a Twenty-Something Cruiser.” Safety 

seminars cover such topics as man 

overboard procedures and cruising considerations 

for children. Experienced 

cruisers have plenty to offer in seminars 

like “Around Vancouver Island as a 

Family” and more. A whopping 60 fishing 

seminars are slated to give attendees 

the inside scoop on how to score that 

lingcod or full pot of crab. Prominent to 

the new lineup 

is the new 

Offshore Sailing 

Forum, 

a two-hour 

panel featuring 

active and 

experienced 

cruisers John 

and Amanda 

Neal, Andy 

and Jill Cross, Will Curry, and moderator 

Sarah Curry. They will be talking 

about it all, from planning typical cruising 

budgets to prioritizing important 

skills to staying safe. 

What’s more, all of these new seminars 

(and more) are free to Seattle Boat 

Show attendees. What is not free, but 

still exciting, is the continuation of Boat 

Show University’s three-hour seminars 

and all-day training sessions. The show 

is bringing out the big guns with local 

icons like Mark Bunzel, editor of the 

Waggoner Guide, and Jeff Renner, former 

KING 5 meteorologist. The three-hour 

programs are $39 each while day-long 

training sessions, like Diesel and Electrical 

Troubleshooting, are $100. 

The Seattle Boat Show 2017 seems 

poised to once again raise the bar and 

may even shatter previous attendance 

records. The show takes place indoors 

at CenturyLink Field Event Center and 

afloat on South Lake Union. There is 

even a free shuttle service between the 

two locations to make things even easier 

for attendees. 

For more details on pricing and the 

full list of events, check out seattleboatshow.com. 

We may be thinking 

about the holidays this month, but we 

all know that the real fun for boaters 

is waiting for us at the end of January. 

We’ll see you there!

EPA Ups the Ante 

Agency Approves new Pollution Standards 

Health standards for toxins in Puget Sound haven't changed in 24 years, so the update is overdue. 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

announced actions to update the limits for toxic 

pollutants in Washington’s surface waters in an 

effort to protect water quality. The EPA has approved 

45 of the pollution standards Washington 

Department of Ecology (Ecology) adopted 

earlier this year, and finalized 144 additional 

federal standards. What’s more, the EPA has 

approved Ecology’s revisions to its variance 

and compliance schedule provisions, which 

give the state, as well as affected industries and 

The 

municipalities, needed flexibility and time to 

implement the new standards. 

The new standards are in part a reaction to 

new research that suggestions Washingtonians 

consume more fish and shellfish than previously 

thought. The standards are meant to add 

the needed water quality protection in order 

to protect the larger-than-expected seafood 

consuming population. 

Time will tell how effective these actions are 

in practice. “Washington maintains one of the 

Explained 

Carter Advantage 

strongest water programs in the entire nation,” 

said EPA Regional Administrator Dennis McLerran 

in a press release. “Now, the state will 

have updated standards on the books and the 

needed flexibility to make progress meeting 

these more protective standards over time.” 

The human health standards for toxins in 

Washington surface waters have not been updated 

since 1992, and these adjustments like 

these were probably inevitable. Stay tuned. For 

details, check out epa.gov.

Double Take 

Shark V. 

Seal 

Warning, this video is not 

for the faint of heart. Recreational 

crabber Josh Robb was 

enjoying a day on the water 

on the Columbia River west 

of Astoria, Oregon when he 

noticed an injured seal in the 

water. Robb pulled out his 

camera as the iconic dorsal fin 

of a shark appeared and one 

of nature’s dramas unfolded. 

You can see the video on KGW 

news' website, kgw.com. 

In the video, a 12-15-foot 

shark emerges to finish off 

the seal. Whether the species 

in question is a small great 

white or an adult salmon 

shark (the closest relative to 

a great white) is still up to 

speculation. Life on the water 

is wild, and we as boaters have 

the privilege of seeing things 

that those who stay on land 

only get to see on TV. In the 

meanwhile, stay safe and keep 

those toes in the boat.

Nautical Nook 

Billy Sparrow: PNW Sailor and Novelist 

It’s a tale as old as boats themselves: 

young person buys the old, 

forgotten boat on the dock and the 

misadventure of a lifetime ensues. 

There is something addictive 

about this timeless arc, especially 

when the darkest hours filled with 

stormy seas and miseries are read 

from a comfortable couch next to a 

roaring fireplace. These stories are 

not the ones about nautical miles 

travelled over the ocean; rather, 

they are about the unconquerable 

human spirit and a devotion to the 

long way around. Farley Mowat’s 

memoir The Boat Who Wouldn’t 

Float printed in 1969, to whom I 

recommend to anybody with a 

pulse, comes to mind. 

Tranquility: A Memoir of an 

American Sailor is a new, Pacific 

Northwest-focused adventure 

memoir by debut author Billy 

Sparrow that carries the torch of 

this trope into 2016. Tranquility 

is on bookshelves around the Pacific 

Northwest and has collected 

recognition including a Pacific 

Northwest Booksellers Association 

Award nomination and status 

of Staff Pick at the University 

Bookstore in Seattle, Washington 

and Powell’s City of Books in 

Portland, Oregon. It is available 

in paperback from inlandwaterspress.com 

for $20. We reached 

out to Sparrow for an interview 

to meet the man behind the pen. 

Q: First of all, congratulations 

on the Pacific Northwest Booksellers 

Association Award nomination. 

How does it feel to not only 

publish a book, but to see it gain 

traction among literary circles? 

Thank you very much. I'm 

incredibly grateful to my publisher, 

Matt Khachadoorian at 

Inland Waters Press. He saw 

the potential in the book and really 

made it come to life. When 

Shawn Donley at Powell's City 

of Books and Brian Jeunemann at 

the Pacific Northwest Booksellers 

Association read and showed real 

interest in Tranquility: A Memoir of 

an American Sailor, I was floored. 

Their attention and the enthusiasm 

of Washington State AP 

English teachers and that of Baker 

& Taylor, the national distributor, 

were truly unbelievable. I had 

very little hope for the book while 

I was working on it and when it 

was finished it was a great relief. 

Everything that came afterward 

was totally unexpected. 

Q: Set the scene a bit for us. 

Who are you exactly and what is 

your memoir about? 

In 1997, at the age of 24, I bought 

a 29-foot wooden sloop that was 

built around here (Puget Sound)

I shoved off, I figured it would 

take me a month to sail there, but 

it took me 5 years all told. Soon

Nautical Nook: Billy Sparrow 

Continued from Page 19 

promptly blew up, she caught 

fire, and I fell in love with Godfrey 

Stevens' youngest daughter 

in Port Townsend. After leaving 

Puget Sound, I ran aground on 

the Columbia River. I was forced 

to send the boat back to Seattle 

on a flatbed where I rebuilt her 

just down the road from where 

I bought her the year before. My 

log was filled with such experiences 

(the good and bad), and I arrived 

in Santa Barbara a different 

man, on a different vessel, after 

having learned much about real 

life along the way. It's an age-old 

story that for some reason never 

seems to get old. 

Q: Tell us a bit about Tranquility, 

the vessel in the story. What 

inspired you to make the jump 

from landlubber to sailor? Why 

this sailboat? 

Tranquility was a tired wreck 

of a ship who'd passed through 

too many hands. She was typical 

of a small yacht built in the Pacific 

Northwest in the thirties. Narrow 

at the beam, low freeboard, poor 

windward performance, cranky 

— the works. She had a coach roof 

that was too low for the average 

person to stand up. She was traditionally 

planked with some sort of 

pine or fir on oak frames. She had a 

fake bowsprit that didn't let in to the 

stem! She was an orphan, a widow, 

and a tub with no known heirs or 

pedigree. I bought her for $5,000 

without much thought because she 

was the only boat I could afford and 

I didn't have the patience to look 

for a better one. I decided to set sail 

on that sort of adventure because 

I was 24 years old and didn't have 

anything better to do. Even though 

it was a colossal misadventure at the 

time and I nearly got myself killed, 

looking back I see that it was my 

wisest mistake. 

Q: It is clear when reading this 

book that the Pacific Northwest 

environment is integral to the 

story. How do you think the Pacific 

Northwest shaped you as a sailor 

and a writer? 

This is a great question! I know 

for sure how it shaped me as a sailor. 

It made me a pretty good one. I've 

sailed from Seattle to the Aleutian Is-

lands and back in a 50-foot wooden 

ketch built at Lake Union Dry Dock 

in 1930. I rebuilt her from handhewn 

timbers near Ramp Island 

and wintered over in Sitka and 

again in Dutch Harbor. I sailed in 

countless gales and hoved-to in one 

or two Gulf of Alaska storms. That's 

no big deal if you earn your anchors 

in these waters. Coastal sailing as 

a whole is far more fraught than 

offshore, so you learn a lot more. 

Around here, you begin to expect 

the unexpected on a boat because 

Sparrow with Tranquility at Stimson Marina in 

the late 1990s. 

that's what can destroy you. You 

don't just drop anchor and hit the 

rack at 0200 hours off the south 

side of Sutwik Island, Alaska. You 

don't beat west in the Strait of Juan 

De Fuca on an outgoing tide with a 

strong westerly forecast. They say 

constant vigilance is the price of 

safety at sea, and I've found that to 

be true. The Pacific Northwest is a 

challenging environment to run a 

boat in and a Puget Sound sailor is a 

very good sailor because of that. As 

for the writing, well, you might say 

that all of the above is great material 

for a generation widely derided as 

the wimpiest in American history. 

Q: Your voice is pretty apparent 

in the story. Is finding the humor 

in bleak situations a valuable 

tool? 

I think finding the humor in 

life's ups and downs is a sign of 

overall mental health. Remaining 

positive in dangerous or challenging 

situations is a must for the 

individual and for anyone in a 

leadership role, such as a captain. 

But as a captain, I do not look 

for the humor in trying situations 

when they're happening, and 

I find that tendency in fellow 

mariners to be disconcerting. 

Plastic pirate garb and a nip of 

rum or two is fine times on a boat 

in the right set of circumstances, 

but I see it more often that I like. 

The sea commands your respect 

and if your crew doesn't respect 

you, as captain, and they do not 

see that you're taking things 

seriously, well, that's a problem.

NAUTICAL NEWS 

Nautical Nook: Billy Sparrow 


The sea doesn't suffer fools for 

very long. 

Q: Do you have a writing 

process? Journaling? Locking 

yourself in a cellar until the 

manuscript is written? 

When I write, I write for myself. 

I have to be totally alone to do it 

and I cannot work on anything 

else. It's an incredibly tedious 

process for me. I write and rewrite 

until I think it can't be improved. 

A good editor is very, very important. 

Because you, as the writer, 

know the story you're telling, so 

in the back of your mind you're 

adding important details known 

only to you and that makes you 

think you've written or explained 

something well when in fact, you 

haven't at all. Your editor must 

be proficient in language and 

usage and they must be an astute 

and careful reader as well. Your 

sweetheart or spouse can't do 

Sparrow with harpoon. 

this for you. It takes time to find 

someone compatible with your 

approach who is also willing to 

edit your work. Tranquility would 

not have been possible without 

my Inland Waters Press editor, 

Megan Kathleen Stocklin. 

Q: So the adventuring is obviously 

the fun part of the story 

(ex. wrecking, heartbreak, rough 

seas, etc). What does it all mean, 

at the end of the day? Any lessons 

to take away? 

I don't have the faintest idea 

what Tranquility means as a 

story. Honestly. I'd be very interested 

to hear what readers make 

of it, but I'm too afraid to ask. 

I hear that it's not half-bad and 

that's incredibly nice to know. 

Q: Any other books in the works? 

I've lived a life of adventure 

and Tranquility was intended as 

book #2 in a trilogy. I wrote #2 first, 

because for some reason I was losing 

touch with all of the details of 

the voyage. I'm currently writing 

the book that comes before the 

Tranquility years. I was working 

on a freighter out of Rarotonga in 

the South Seas prior to 1997. The 

ship was the Avatapu, captained 

by the legendary Pacific sailor 

Nancy Griffith. I got marooned on 

a motu, — it's a long story — the 

book is about that sort of thing. 

Books one and three are years away 

from being done. It's pretty hard 

to write when you're working so 

hard promoting a finished book. 

Q: What words of wisdom 

would you have to the sailorwriters-adventurers 

out there 

who want to see their books on 

the shelves someday? 

No one will like this answer, 

but I mean it. All good writers 

are self-taught. If you're writing 

sea story/adventure/memoir 

then by all means, write what 

you have really lived and know. 

Stay off the internet and forget 

about writing groups. Don't 

expect any encouragement

from the outside world, don't read 

what you've written to your friends 

and family. Their comments may 

be well meant, but they're an unhelpful 

distraction to a book-length 

manuscript. Write if you must write 

and try to forget about the rest. The 

respect and esteem you think writing 

will bring you once your book 

is on the shelf isn't waiting where 

you imagine. It's up to you to know 

whether what you've written is any 

good. Writing is a tough job and you 

might want to think about treating 

it like one. There's a Niagara Falls of 

writing these days, but there's only a 

thimble's worth of capacity for any of 

it. I know a writer who pitched herself 

to agencies for five years before she 

found an agent. It took her another 

three years to sell her first book and 

she will wait another two years to 

see it in print. Does that sound like 

a good business to be in? If you want 

to write, do it for yourself and try to 

forget about the rest. If you just can't 

give up on being a "writer" writer, 

then I say go for it.

KNOWLEDGE H COMMITMENT H RELIABILITY H SERVICE 

Pacific Northwestern boaters 

are a resilient breed when 

it comes to the outdoors, and 

nowhere is that spirit more apparent 

than during the usually 

cold and rainy holiday season. 

Some sailors will swear the winter 

brings the best wind for those 

truly wild rides while motor 

boaters frequent their favorite 

spots that are finally devoid of 

the summertime crowds. And, of 

course, just about every marina 

in Puget Sound and beyond has 

a holiday party to throw. 

Here is a small sample of 

marina-based fun for those of us 

who are still out on the water. This 

is by no means a comprehensive 

list and we encourage you to 

check out your favorite marina to 

see what they are up to. What’s 

even better is that several of these 

events have a charity element to 

spread the good cheer to those 

who need it most. 

Where do you like to spend 

your nautical Christmas? Is there 

a tradition you can't get enough 

of? Send us pictures or dispatches 

to editorial@nwyachting.com. 

Christmas Ships Parades at 

Portland, Oregon, all month: 

The Christmas Ships Parade 

is a Portland tradition since 1954 

and is more accurately viewed as a 

season unto itself. Both Willamette 

and Columbia River fleets, with 

well over 60 boats total, adhere 

to an ambitious sailing schedule 

throughout the month to different 

locations in the Portland area. 

If you find yourself down that 

way, then check out christmasships.org 

for the information you 

need to catch a glimpse. If you 

wish to join the fun with your own 

vessel, there is information on the 

website as well. We've heard good 

things and it looks like a lot of fun.

Staff Favorite at Powell’s City of Books, Portland & University Bookstore, Seattle 

“While many of us have dreamed of leaving it all behind and embarking on an epic adventure, Billy Sparrow actually did it. 

In 1997 he cashed in his savings and bought an old wooden sailboat called Tranquility ... The account of his journey is 

both inspiring and entertaining. It's the type of book that should come with a warning sticker that says, "Caution: 

May cause reader to quit job, sell house, and set off for parts unknown!” 

-Recommended by Shawn Donley, Head Book Buyer, Powell’s City of Books 

“Tranquility is equally poetic and brilliant.”

Study Finds Salmon are Worth Millions 

An economic study released 

by the McDowell Group and 

commissioned by Salmon Beyond 

Borders found that watersheds in 

southeast Alaska transboundary 

watersheds are valued at just 

under $1 billion dollars when 

considering a 30-year horizon, or 

about $48 million per year. What’s 

more, the fisheries can generate 

the economic benefits for the 

foreseeable future if managed 

correctly. The areas included in 

this study are the Taku, Stikine, 

and Unuk River watersheds. The 

study also touches upon economic 

contributions of Southeast 

Alaska from the Nass and Skeena 

Rivers. Commercial fishing and 

the recreation industry are the 

two major inputs of economic activity 

focused upon in the report. 

The study emerges at a contentious 

time in the region as the 

scopes of large-scale metal mining 

in various phases of development 

along these watersheds in 

British Columbia are increasing. 

Calls for binding, transboundary 

treaties are getting louder. A 

meeting held by the Alaska House 

Fisheries Committee tackled the 

issue head on with hundreds of 

Alaskans responding. The political 

pressure spurred House Fisheries

Bonni Jean is a true dual purpose sailing 

yacht. This hugely successful Farr-designed, 

Beneteau-built racer-cruiser does it all. 

Bonni Jean is outfitted for this duality with 

a competitive sail inventory, quality rigging, 

and race bottom. Removable dinghy davits, 

cruising genoa, mainsail lazy-bag, cockpit 

canvas, diesel heater, and electric anchor 

windlass will keep the entire family comfortable 

while cruising. Until 2013, Bonni 

Jean spent her early years in Chicago in 

fresh water and winter storage. Equipment 

highlights include: Espar hydronic heat, 

North 3Di mainsail in 2015, Iverson’s Design

heads, and Selden removable bowsprit with

Cocktail of the Month 

Gluehwein 

The holiday season was made for Gluehwein! Gluehwein, a spiced wine 

served hot, is a Christmas special straight from Germany and Austria that 

is synonymous with stockings over the fire, rosy cheeks from skiing in the 

Alps, and Saint Nicholas giving coal to naughty children (the Germans 

tend to be a little stricter about that kind of thing). The drink is a cinch to 

make but does require a stovetop and some prep. Make sure the boat is 

nice and secure on the hook before partaking, as the warm alcohol goes 

to one’s head extra quick. 

Gluehwein How-To: 

• 1 bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon (750 mL, 

don’t go over $15) 

• 10 whole cloves 

• 1 orange 

• 1 cinnamon stick 

• 2 anise stars 

• 3 / 4 cup white sugar

Combine the water, sugar, and cinnamon stick into a saucepan. Bring it to a 

boil, reduce the heat, and let it simmer. Meanwhile, cut the orange in half and 

squeeze the juice into the simmering water. Push the cloves into the outside 

of the remaining orange peel halves and put them with the anise stars into the 

water. Simmer for about 30 minutes until the concoction is thick and syrupy. 

Next, pour in the bottle of wine and reduce the temperature to a gentle 

steam. Remove the clove-laden orange peel halves and you’re set! Beware of 

exposing cold glassware to the hot drink, for it may crack.

Friday Harbor 

Salmon Classic 

The second annual Friday 

Harbor Salmon Classic is underway 

from December 2-3, 

2016. This relatively new, nonprofit 

derby was organized by 

Jimmie Lawson after local fisherman 

learned the Resurrection 

Derby was moved from Friday 

Harbor to Anacortes. Proceeds 

of the event go to pro-salmon 

organizations and Salmon for 

Soldiers, a non-profit that takes 

veterans fishing (“the Mission 

is Fish’n”). The Friday Harbor 

Salmon Classic is an official 

member of the Northwest 

Salmon Derby Series. 

It may be a little late to get 

in on the action by the time 

you read this, but stay tuned 

as to the event’s evolution. The 

captain’s meeting is to be held 

at the San Juan Island Grange 

on Thursday, December 1 at 

1800 hours. It may be too late to 

sign up this year, but you may 

want to put this new derby on 

your radar for next year. More

The Minesweeper Tradition 

Continues at Pacific Fishermen 

By Peter Marsh 

Almost every kind of boat 

imaginable has traveled up and 

down the Seattle Ship Canal and 

through the locks over the last 100 

years, but few of the thousands of 

crew or passengers who enjoy that 

spectacle are aware of another part 

of local maritime history. It was 75 

years ago, when World War II was 

raging in Europe, that several of the 

Seattle shipyards began building 

small warships to send to Great 

Britain under the U.S. government's 

Lend-Lease program. 

I was reminded of this epic time 

in local boat building history when 

I wandered into Pacific Fishermen’s 

yard in Ballard, less than a 

mile from the offices of Northwest 

Yachting. A very large, fairly old 

wooden motoryacht was hauled 

out and stored under a tall portable 

cover. The M/V Liseron of Juneau 

was missing lots of deteriorated 

outer layer of bottom planking 

that was piled up to one side of 

the shelter. This revealed a second 

layer of planking underneath that 

was in much better condition. 

I made no attempt to guess at 

how big this hull was or when it was 

built. Just as well, because when I 

found yard manager Doug Dixon, 

he cheerfully informed me that she 

was also a converted minesweeper 

built in 1952. This was a happy 

coincidence for me and moved the 

story up to the top of my list. In addition, 

I quickly realized that Dixon 

is a “mine of information” who 

has been researching the history 

of wooden boat building on Lake 

Union for many years —especially 

the WW II era. 

By then, the yard already 

had a long history, having been 

opened in 1874 by a Norwegian 

named T.W. Lake—over 40 years 

before the canal and locks were 

completed. Many of the Mosquito 

Fleet's ferries were launched there 

and departed the lake for Puget 

Sound during high water. When 

the yard changed hands, it was 

renamed Seattle Ship Yards and 

then Ballard Marine Railway. In 

1946 it was bought by a collective 

of 400 Norwegian fishermen and 

the name changed again to Pacific 

Fishermen. Interestingly, they ran 

it as a co-operative for many years. 

In 1941, most of the local yards 

were still building wooden vessels 

and, after Pearl Harbor, the 

U.S. Navy needed hundreds of 

wooden minesweepers. Several 

Washington yards were selected to 


M/V Liseron, visiting 

her spiritual home 

for repairs.

build a 136-foot, double-planked 

multi-purpose hull to an original 

design from the Henry B. Nevins 

Shipyard of New York City. She 

had a length of 136 feet, beam 

of 24 feet six inches, and draft of 

eight feet. The propulsion was two 

800 hp General Motors 8-cylinder 

268A diesel engines, giving her a 

top speed of 14 knots. 

In the three-year period from the 

spring of 1942 through the spring 

of 1945, a total of 561 minesweepers 

were built at 35 small American 

shipyards, 19 of them on the West 

Coast. Over 80 were ordered by 

the government specifically for 

transfer to Britain, which had 

been at war with Germany since 

September 3, 1939, as part of the 

Lend-Lease policy (signed into law 

by FDR on March 11, 1941). 

The Ballard Marine Railway

under contract to the Seattle 

Shipbuilding Company. The inner 

planking was two-inch-thick

Community: The Mine Sweeper Tradition 

Continues at Pacific Fishermen 


Pilots used ex-minesweeper YMS 

117 as a station boat from 1947 

to 1959. But two of the Ballard 

boats eventually ended up with 

world- famous owners and became 

famous in their own rights. 

BYMS 26 — Calypso 

BYMS 26 served in the Mediterranean 

where she was converted 

into a car ferry. She was discovered 

by Jacques Cousteau in the 1950s 

and was converted again into his 

dive-support ship Calypso. The 

French diving pioneer and his ship 

went on to make many discoveries 

and become famous in the USA 

through the series The Undersea 

World of Jacques Cousteau, which ran 

for ten years from 1966 to 1976. At 

a time when color television was a 

novelty, his programs opened the 

eyes of a generation to the wonders 

beneath the waves. A second 

documentary series, The Cousteau 

Odyssey, ran from 1977 to 1982. 

In the later years, he became 

a pioneer in the movement to 

protect the oceans until a barge 

accidentally rammed Calypso and 

sank her in the port of Singapore in 

1996. She was raised by a floating 

crane, patched, and pumped dry 

before dry docked and repaired. 

Cousteau died in 1997 in Paris, 

aged 87. His ship was towed back 

to France, but fell into neglect as 

his family quarreled over the future 

of his foundation. Ambitious plans 

have been publicized, but the ship 

is still in very poor shape in storage 

in Brittany and has been the subject 

of several legal actions over debts 

owed for restoration work that 

was halted when payments failed 

to materialize. 

YMS 328 — Wild Goose 

YMS 328 was converted into a 

yacht and in 1956 she was bought 

by Seattle lumber tycoon Max 

Wyman and renamed Wild Goose. 

Wyman traveled in the South 

Pacific on the boat until 1962, 

when she was sold to movie star 

John Wayne and went through a 

major renovation. Wayne kept the

Community: The Mine Sweeper Tradition Continues at Pacific Fishermen 


Wild Goose for the last 17 years of 

his life and entertained famous 

people including two presidents 

— Richard Nixon and Ronald 

Reagan. He also liked getting 

away from his busy life at home 

in California. He hired a professional 

crew and had them take 

the boat and his family to the 

Pacific Northwest and Alaska 

in the summer where he joined 

Lisaron in 1963 with the French Navy. 

She’ll love more storage. 

them to enjoy the world-class 

fishing and hiking. 

Wayne frequented Sequim Bay 

aboard the Wild Goose and bought 

a big chunk of land in the area. 

He envisioned a marina in the 

scenic bay, and The John Wayne 

Marina was constructed in 1985 

on 22 acres of land donated by the 

John Wayne family. The Wayne 

family still owns 150 acres in 

Sequim, where “John Wayne’s 

Waterfront Resort,” located steps 

from the marina, invites visitors 

to enjoy getaways or extended 

stays in cabins or the RV Park. 

The Wild Goose now serves as a 

dinner-cruise boat in Newport 

Beach, CA. 

This is the boat she’ll sayYes to. FIND OUT WHY ON PAGE 69. 

Originally BYMS 26, the former Mine Sweeper M/V Calypso is probably the most famous 

of all such ships, serving explorer Jaques Cousteau for decades until an accident in 

Singapore in 1996 put her into what has become a semi-permanent retirement. 

M/V Liseron 

So what about the Liseron? 

Dixon explained that it was a later 

version of the Navy's design for 

the Korean conflict—a 409-ton 

MSC 90 Mine Sweeper Coastal 

60. She is 145 feet long and 28 

feet wide with a draft of 8.5 feet; 

built in 1952 by Tacoma Boat as 

AMS-98 (Adjutant Class Motor 

Minesweeper) and later sold to 

France where she was given the 

French name Liseron. 

The Boat Company of Poulsbo, 

Washington had bought its first 

ex-minesweeper in 1980 and 

found her to be a fine vessel for 

eco-cruising and conservation efforts 

in Alaska’s Inside Passage. 

They looked for a newer version 

and acquired the Liseron in 1989. 

She was lovingly restored and 

refitted with ten luxurious staterooms 

that can accommodate 20 

passengers and a crew of 12. The 

company claims to be “the only 

non-profit educational organization 

offering luxury eco-cruises 

through Southeast Alaska.”

Riviera 43’ Open Flybridge 2017 

The 2017 Riviera 43’ Open Flybridge 

is arriving to the Emerald Pacific Yachts 

docks in San Diego this month and 

there’s much to be excited about. The 

Open Flybridge is a mid-sized motoryacht 

with a sportboat feel that’ll get 

you to your desired cruising grounds 

in no time, whether you’re after salmon 

or just need a weekend escape. 

A key emphasis to the layout of the 

Open Flybridge is making the al fresco 

lifestyle a reality. Generous deck space 

on the bow, a large swim deck and cockpit, 

and the open (but covered) flybridge 

are all meant to be luxuriated upon, and 

seek to blend the interior with exterior. 

The namesake open flybridge is made 

to entertain with plenty of seating and 

even a mini wet bar. 

The accommodations inside include 

the luxurious master stateroom 

forward, complete with raised walkaround 

queen bed and en suite head. 

Cedar woodworking and high-quality 

carpeting and upholstery are standard. 

The galley is fully loaded with appliances 

like dual electric stovetop elements, 

a refrigerator and freezer combination, 

and dish washer and dryer. The salon 

is designed for relaxation and features 

a large U-shaped, leather upholstered 

sofa, two bar stools, and a large flat 

screen TV with surround sound system. 

But she isn’t just good looks. The 

Open Flybridge is propelled by a topof-the-line 

Volvo Penta D6-IPS600 twin 

engine system. The two D6 engines and 

IPS10 pod-drives dish out 435 horsepower 

apiece. Each coupled gear pod 

spins forward-facing, counter-rotating, 

nibral alloy three-blade propellers that 

can be controlled via wheel or joystick. 

Access to the engines is simply a matter 

of opening the electric-powered hatch to 

expose the engine room. The hull shape 

is worth mentioning, for enhanced chine 

strakes are part of the hull aft. All of 

these design considerations translate 

to a fuel consumption of 35 gallons per 

hour at 27 knots. Sea Keeper 5 Gyro 

Stablizers are standard. 

The vessel has all kinds of modern 

touches, such as state-of-the-art CZone 

digital technology that allows the 

skipper to control everything from 

interior mood lighting, minute tweaks 

of the IPS system, and the stero system 

with a simple tap of the display screen. 

There’s a lot going on aboard this 

beauty, and she has come a long way 

from her workboat heritage. She’s all 

fun and games now and is ready to go 

wherever you want. If you’re interested, 

contact Emerald Pacific Yachts. Pricing 

starts at $1,142,587. For more information, 

visit emeraldpacificyachts.com.

New & Notable Boats 

Aspen L90 LX Power Catamaran 

We do seem to love our power 

catamarans here in the Pacific 

Northwest. Whether we are talking 

about ecotourism (see the 

I Dream of Orcas feature in our 

July, 2016 issue) or successful 

local recreational builders like 

Aspen Power Catamarans out 

of Burlington, Washington, 

power cats are definitely making 

waves. The L90 LX from Aspen 

is the latest addition to their 

fleet and looks like a fun-filled, 

compact package. 

The L90 X is essentially a crossover 

that seeks to strike a balance 

between the comfort of a launch 

and the functionality of a center 

console. Features like a large 

enclosed head, the option for dry 

storage, two large fish wells, and 

party-boat style seating aren’t 

often found in the same boat in 

this size range. The layout has an 

emphasis on ease of use with full 

walk-around seating and sleek 

custom T-top for rain protection. 

Generous deck and below-deck 

space translates to ample room 

for lounging and stowage. 

She is powered by an upgraded 

Volvo Penta D3 220 horsepower 

inboard diesel engine. The catamaran 

design allows for a fuel efficient 

consumption rate of five gallons per 

hour at cruising speed. The standard 

65-gallon fuel tank gives her a range 

of around 260 miles at 20 knots, and 

the optional expedition tanks can 

give the same skipper 420 miles of 

range. She’s island ready if you are. 

What’s more, each hull is wide 

open to customization and can be 

altered to be the vessel of your 

dreams. This boat looks like a 

great way to enjoy the comfort of 

a larger vessel with the same nofuss 

functionality of a runabout. If 

you’re interested, contact Aspen 

Power Catamarans. Prices start at 

$149,900. For more information

2017 Fleming 65 

The Fleming 65 is a favorite of the 

Fleming line, and hull 039 has recently 

been delivered to Seattle, Washington, 

and is available for inspection. Tony 

Fleming himself reportedly cruises on 

his own 65 extensively and uses it as a 

sort of experimental platform to tweak 

every subsequent hull. This means the 

65 is continually evolving as new hulls 

continue to roll off the line. 

Let’s start with arguably the most 

important item, the galley. The spacious 

galley to port is fully equipped with 

dishwasher, double sinks, and induction 

cooktop. From the galley and salon, 

simply wander three steps down and enter 

the roomy accommodations. Five layouts 

are currently available with varying berth 

and head situations to suit the buyer. Deck 

space abounds from the bow forward to 

the cockpit aft and up to the flybridge. 

She’s got muscle too, with solid fiberglass 

hull (no coring here). The standard 

power comes from two MAN 800 horsepower 

engines with upgraded V8 1,000 

horsepower engines offered. The generous 

fuel capacity translates to roughly 1,500 

nautical miles of range at nine knots, 

although the suggested cruising speed 

is between 10-17 knots. Stabilizers and 

bow thrusters, Hypro steering, Iso-boost 

transformers, dual freshwater pumps, 

Steelhead dinghy davit, teak and holly 

floors, and more are standard. All in all, the 

Fleming 65 is a long-range trawler made 

to go the distance in style. If you’re in the 

market for a proven design that shows no 

sign of stopping production anytime soon, 

you can inquire for more information from 

Chuck Hovey Yachts (chuckhoveyyachts.com). 

Pricing starts at $3,518,200.

Selene 33’ Cruiser 56 

(Sister ship depicted) 

Our neighbors to the north in Canada 

make fine vessels well-suited to the 

rigors of Pacific Northwest boating, 

and Eaglecraft of Daigle Welding & 

Marine Ltd. out of British Columbia is 

no exception. The Eaglecraft 33’ Cruiser 

continues her popular run with an all 

new layout for 2017. 

From the outside, the 33’ Cruiser is 

a no-nonsense, rugged motorboat. The 

forward angled pilothouse has the classic 

Pacific Northwest attack feel of a commercial 

fishing vessel. She is made of ¼” 

5086 alloy aluminum and powered by a 

standard Volvo Penta D6 400 horsepower 

inboard engine with a 23-knot cruising 

speed. Twin 350 horsepower four stroke 

outboards are also available as an option. 

The new interior layout is spacious and 

comfortable and sleeps up to five with 

custom finishes. An island-style berth 

below, full stand-up head with shower, 

convertible settee/berth with a quarter 

berth below, and a galley complete with 

refrigerator, cooktop, and more brings the 

comforts of land on the water with you. 

An added bonus for Americans is the 

current strength of the dollar, which 

means more boat for your buck. If 

you’re interested, rumor has it they’ve 

completed a hull this month and she 

is up for grabs. Check them out at 

Daigle Welding & Marine Ltd and at 

the Seattle Boat Show. Pricing starts at 

around $360,000 USD based on market 

exchange rate. For more information

In the Still of the Night 

Here we see a chartered flotilla of motoryachts 

from the Northwest Explorations fleet in Bishop 

Bay, British Columbia. Like so many of the Pacific 

Northwest's boating gems, Bishop Bay and the associated 

Monkey Beach Conservancy are only accessible 

by boat or float plane. Attractions of the 

area include natural hot springs, complete with 

rustic bath house, and tent platforms for those who 

wish to take to the shore. British Columbia's geography 

of twisting inlets and rugged fjords provide 

intrepid boaters with a playground that would take 

a lifetime to explore properly. What are you waiting 

for, an invitation?

Tony’s Tackle Box 

By Tony Floor 

Back to the Future 

I’ve been chewing about my December column 

for the last couple of weeks. For inspiration, 

I turned back the pages of time to my first 

Tony’s Tackle Box column in 2005. That column 

provided about as much inspiration as walking into the 

library at two o’clock in the morning, sober. Get my drift? 

For nearly the last 20 years, I have looked forward to 

December and the beginning of winter blackmouth salmon 

fishing like a five-year-old at Christmas. While that enthusiasm 

is still there, especially to fish in the San Juan Islands 

and the banks in the eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca, there 

have been recent changes in the salmon management game 

resulting in early season closures that produced about as 

much negativity as last month’s presidential election. Chain 

up, please, and let me explain. 

As a soldier to promote selective fishing for these 

winter blackmouth all the way back to the mid-late 90s 

(when the state began to clip the adipose fins off all 

hatchery Chinook and coho salmon) the objective was to 

expand salmon fishing seasons so anglers could distinguish 

the difference between wild (unmarked) fish versus 

hatchery (marked) fish. As these marked fish became 

available in size and abundance, seasons were expanded, 

and anglers enjoyed predictable fishing opportunities 

that produced positive economic sport fishing activity 

throughout the region. 

Winter blackmouth fishing can 

produce mid-teen fish like this one 

caught by George Harris in the San 

Juans Islands last winter. 

However, during the last three to four years, scientists 

employed by the Puget Sound treaty tribes discovered 

that through the execution of these selective fisheries, 

undersized juvenile and legal-size wild Chinook salmon 

are negatively impacted. The Washington Department of 

Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) accepted the tribal analysis 

and, as a result, most marine waters in northern Puget 

Sound, the eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the San 

Juan Islands shut down the last two winters much earlier 

than scheduled. 

The state’s salmon management biologists who manage 

these sport-salmon fisheries today assess ongoing 

impacts (encounters), which now govern angler’s access 

and pursuit of hatchery-produced Chinook salmon. Each 

geographic area, as described above, has an “encounter 

ceiling.” When the encounter ceiling is reached, slam goes 

the door for that area and those affected waters become 

off limits to salmon anglers. 

According to sources at WDFW, about ten million bucks 

are spent annually, funded largely by the state legislature 

and the Feds, to produce and fin clip hatchery-produced 

Chinook and coho salmon in Puget Sound. These hatchery 

salmon have one assignment in life: get caught by Washington 

fishers, hopefully. 

For many of my salmon angling brethren who spend 

significant amounts of time to improve sport fishing opportunities 

in Washington, especially in the annual salmon 

season setting process, too many attempts are unproductive. 

As reported in this space last spring, when new WDFW 

Director Jim Unsworth said no to the tribes, the decisions 

made resulted in no agreement, which closed fishing until 

further notice. The tribes attempted to squeeze the Department 

to accept a bad deal for the umpteenth time in a row, 

forcing unnecessary restrictions on anglers. Unsworth, who 

represents salmon anglers and the sport fishing industry 

in these state/tribal government-to-government negotiations, 

has been working hard in the offseason to find a 

more productive outcome for 2017. Time will tell. 

In the meantime, our winter blackmouth Chinook salmon 

fishing kicked off last month in North Sound areas. It appears 

that the zillions of sub-legal size Chinook plaguing 

most Puget Sound waters a year ago have survived very 

well and are contributing to quality salmon fishing now. 

Today, the San Juan Islands winter season opens 

and if the abundance of keeper-size winter Chinook 

(22-inches and greater) is as good as October, we can 

look forward to some good salmon fishing this winter. 

As most winter salmon anglers know, the Islands have 

a reputation for delivering outstanding salmon fishing 

now through late winter. 

I’ve got my “Gone Fishing” hat on as you navigate 

your way through these words. I can’t stand it. My San 

Juan Islands blackmouth fishing guru, Derek Floyd from

On Watch 

By Peter Schrappen 

Campaign Season Finally Fades Away 

The earthquake we call Election Day has come 

and gone. As results trickle in, here are some 

random musings, starting nationally and moving 

into our own backyard. 

On the national level, it’s apparent that Secretary Hillary 

Clinton could not cobble together the Obama coalition that 

he mustered for his two terms. No doubt it’s an uphill battle 

for the party in control of the White House to hold power 

for a “third term” but given Obama’s popularity (around 

56%) and the time he devoted for her (not to mention the 

Clinton-Trump polls heading into November 8), she was the 

favorite to win. 

So what happened? She had no message. Think about six 

to nine words that she used to compel, contrast, and connect 

with voters. All I can come up with is “(Vote for me) 

because America is great because America is good” from 

her convention speech (whatever that means). Or there was 

the “(Vote for me) because I don’t send out tweets at 3 am.” 

Take President-elect Trump’s “Make America Great Again” 

and you can see who won the messaging war. 

Then there was her paid media campaign. According to 

MediaQuant, Clinton spent $28 million on advertising and 

generated $746 million in earned (or free) media. Trump, on 

the other hand, bought $10 million in media 

and earned $1.9 billion in free publicity. As 

Trump was targeting states that he ultimately 

won like Michigan and Wisconsin, Clinton 

was visiting the Evergreen State and California 

to raise more money to run commercials. 

In the meantime, she last visited the swing 

state of Wisconsin in April, 2016. 

Here are a few more startling facts that 

caught me by surprise: Trump won Michigan 

by 10,000 votes yet 90,000 Michiganders 

left their Presidential choice blank. Pundits 

certainly were wrong on how women would 

vote. 53% of the white female vote went for 

President-elect Trump. Clinton is the fourth candidate to 

win the popular vote but lose the Electoral College. Did you 

know that you don’t cast the deciding vote for the President? 

Each state gets a number of electors (equal to the number 

of members to Congress). It’s these electors who pick the 

president. Why? Our forefathers wanted a check on the 

general population. 

It’s way too early to see how boating will fare under a 

Trump administration. Boating insiders will be watching the 

direction the EPA takes with the Renewable Fuel Standard 

and the role of ethanol. What stories will play out these next 

four years! 

Taking a look at the results in Washington, a number of 

things stood out. At the top of the ballot, Governor Inlsee 

cruised to his expected re-election. And then it starts to 

get interesting. Hilary Franz will head the Department of 

Natural Resources. This agency oversees the 2.2 million acres 

of aquatic “lands” and plays a major role with the boating 

world. Emceeing a legislative forum with her and her opponent, 

it was apparent just how charming and eager she was 

to remain engaged on “our issues.” Given the person she’s 

replacing, all I can say is, “What a relief” to have a boater 

in this office. At the very least, I can put the Rolaids away 

for a little while. 

In the Senate, terrible news that Sen. Andy Hill (R-Kirkland) 

passed away broke just a few days before November 8. You 

won’t find a more earnest, kind, and brilliant mind. He was 

a friend of mine and to the boating community. He presented 

twice at the NMTA Legislative Tee-Off. As an aside when 

he spoke in early January to us, instead of just a standard 

speech, he dissected the industry with a complete SWOT 

(an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and 

threats). Hill’s death is a terrible loss, to say the least. 

Looking at the make-up, the Republicans will lose one 

seat in the state Senate and the House will be tied if I had 

As the holidays approach, I’d encourage you to strike 

up a conversation with someone who didn’t vote the 

way you did for President. Get to know your stranger 

and I bet you will be surprised that there’s more in 

common with us than not. At the very least, we can 

all detest ethanol together. 

to make a prediction today. That means Speaker Chopp’s 

15 years at the helm in the House will end and there will be 

two captains on the House ship. Put those life jackets on. 

So as the holidays approach, I’d encourage you to strike 

up a conversation with someone who didn’t vote the way 

you did for President. Get to know your stranger and I bet 

you will be surprised that there’s more in common with us 

than not. At the very least, we can all detest ethanol together.

Galley Gourmet 

By Bridget Charters 

Everything’s Better With Sugar 

It is so much fun to hunker down and let the rain 

fall while baking delicious cookies or holiday 

cakes! A stormy Northwest day begs for a warm 

cup of coffee, your favorite music, and amazing 

smells coming from the galley. Holiday baked goods have 

long been a tradition in many cultures. The northern European 

cultures mastered baked goods long ago, and many of the 

American traditions come from there. The holidays are a time 

to gather, celebrate, enjoy festive gatherings, and bring the 

year to a close. Here in the Northwest, we love the Christmas 

ships, Yulefests, holiday parades, and the like. I remember 

as a child the magic of all the beautiful gingerbread houses, 

Christmas cookies, and sweet breads that appeared during 

the holidays. Our family would give gifts of holiday cookies 

when we travelled from party to party, and on Christmas 

Eve we had a tradition of delivering warm, beautiful braided 

bread wreaths to our friends in our neighborhood. Our treats, 

delivered warm in the morning, were small tokens of our 

friendship, but something that people still talk about to this day. 

Baking seems difficult, but is really quite easy, especially a 

pie dough turned into a simple galette or tart. Bread dough 

is just yeast, water, and flour, and needs just a bit of coaxing 

to make magic. Fillings, batters, and doughs can be easy, requiring 

only a bowl and maybe a whisk. When guests arrive, 

you can have some short dough stashed away to make quick 

cookies, or to build a quick tart with some apples or pears. A 

crepe batter becomes a quick and easy dessert that is easily 

put together if an impromptu party is assembled. Crepes can 

be filled with fresh fruit and whipped cream, flavored butters, 

or something simple like Nutella or jam. Gingerbread 

is always a favorite and can be made in advance then frozen 

or baked on the fly as guests arrive. I use gingerbread batter 

and create an upside down cake using apple, persimmons, 

bananas or squash. The holiday bread wreath is a simple, 

sweet-bread dough that can be used for cinnamon rolls, or 

rolled flat and filled with nuts, sugar, and butter and woven 

into a wreath. The wreath requires a few more steps, but is a 

beautiful treat on a cold winter morning. 

Equipment-wise, it is tricky baking on a boat, but the following 

desserts only require a bowl or two, a whisk, wooden 

spoon, measuring cups and spoons, parchment paper, knives, 

and a cookie sheet. Ingredients can be chopped by hand and 

blended with a wooden spoon, provided the butter is soft. 

Most of the tools can be found as the basics in a small kitchen. 

If you have the luxury of a food processor or stand mixer, 

then your job will be that much faster to assemble. 

Stock up on apples and pears and keep a stash of holiday 

spices, unsalted butter (at room temperature), sugar, and flours 

so it will be easy to assemble a lovely dessert or gift. The more 

you bake, the easier it becomes. Don’t worry if something is 

not perfect, you made it from scratch with the spirit of giving 

and the season in mind. Everyone will love it. 

Holiday Braided Bread 

Make one recipe of milk dough (recipe follows) complete to the first rising. 

The milk roll recipe makes delicious, soft buns for dinner or can be used to build cinnamon rolls. 

For the Dough: 

3 cups warm water 

2 teaspoons dry yeast 

5 cups all purpose flour 

2 teaspoons salt 

1/ 2 cup sugar 

1/ 2 cup dry milk powder 

1 stick of butter, melted and cooled 

For the Filling: 

2 cups assorted nuts 

1 cup sugar (can sub brown sugar) 

1 cup dried fruit 

1/ 2 cup raisins or sultana 

1/ 2 cup butter (save 1 tablespoon for brushing the top) 

Pinch of salt 

1 teaspoon cardamom, cloves or nutmeg if you so desire 

1. For the filling, put all the ingredients into the food processor and pulse until it resembles a very coarse meal. 

2. For the dough, roll out the proofed dough 12”x10” on a floured surface. Sprinkle the filling over the surface 

of the dough, leaving an inch at the top of the dough. Roll the dough up, starting at your end and finish on 

the uncovered edge of dough. Press together. With a sharp knife, split the roll lengthwise down the middle. 

Turn the two halves up with the filling showing, and quickly braid, forming a rope. Move to a parchment-lined 

sheet pan and cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap and proof to double in size. 

3. Once proofed, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. 

4. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to one hour. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving. 


Short Dough: Combine the dry ingredients in the food 

processor; add the cold butter and process. Add 

eggs, blend till smooth. Chill. 

Frangipane filling: Beat together almond paste, 

butter, sugar, and almond extract in a bowl or food 

processor until creamy, about three minutes. Reduce 

speed to low and add eggs, one at a time, beating 

well after each addition, then mix in flour and salt. 

6 ounces unsalted butter, softened 

3/ 4 cup brown sugar 

1/ 2 cup molasses 

2 eggs 

1 teaspoon vanilla 

2 tablespoons freshly 

grated ginger 

2 cups all purpose flour 

Apple and Cranberry Galette 

2 apples 

1/ 2 cup of fresh cranberries - optional 

4 tablespoons sugar 

1/ 2 cup frangipane, pastry cream or jam 

1 egg for egg wash 

1 recipe short dough 

Galette: Combine cranberries and one tablespoon of sugar in a small bowl. Allow to macerate while you assemble 

the rest of the tart. Peel, core and slice the apples into thin wedges. Roll out shortdough into 1/8-inch 

thick pastry round, about 12 inches in diameter. Spread frangipane or pastry cream filling in center of dough 

into a four-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Fan the apples over the filling, place macerated cranberries in the 

center of the apples, then fold the dough up two inches toward the center of the tart, covering the outer edge of 

the apples and leaving the center with the cranberries open. Brush the pastry dough edges with egg wash and 

sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until golden. 

Squash Upside Down Cake 

1 teaspoon baking soda 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 1 / 2 teaspoons cinnamon 

1 teaspoon dry ginger 

1/ 2 teaspoon nutmeg 

1/ 4 teaspoon each allspice 

and cloves 

1 cup buttermilk 

Frangipane Filling: 

7 to 8 oz almond paste (not marzipan or almond filling) 

1/ 2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened 

3 tablespoons sugar 

1/ 8 teaspoon almond extract 

2 large eggs 

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 

1/ 2 teaspoon salt 

For the Pan: 

10 slices butternut 

squash 1 / 4 ” thick 

(about 1 / 2 a squash), 

or 1 whole delicata 

3 tablespoons butter 

1/ 2 cup brown sugar 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt three tablespoons of butter in a ten-inch cast-iron skillet (or cake pan) over medium heat, using a pastry brush to coat sides with butter as it melts. 

Sprinkle 1/2 cup brown sugar evenly over bottom of skillet and cook until sugar starts to bubble and turn golden brown, about three minutes. Slide pan off heat and allow to cool 

slightly. Arrange squash slices in a circle, laying the pieces flat on the caramel in a fan pattern. Arrange another layer of squash on top and fill the center and set aside. 

Sift flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and add spices. In a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar with a mixer on high speed until pale and fluffy, and scrape down sides. Add 

eggs one at time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of the bowl. Mix in vanilla and molasses, reduce speed to low, and blend in flour mixture alternating with 

buttermilk in two additions. Drop large dollops of batter over the squash and caramel. Spread the batter evenly with a spatula. Bake until golden brown and the cake springs back when 

touched, about 20 – 25 minutes. Allow the cake to cool. When ready to unmold, heat the pan quickly on top of the stove burner, shake the pan lightly to loosen the caramel, and use a 

knife to release the sides. Quickly invert the cake onto a serving platter, reposition any loose squash pieces. 

Tarte Tatin 

1/ 2 recipe shortdough (see Apple Cranberry Galette) 

6 pears or apples - your choice, the drier variety the better 

1 teaspoon lemon juice 

Short Dough: 

2 1 / 3 cup flour 


pinch of salt 

1 stick cold butter, cut into pieces 

2 large eggs 

1/ 2 cube butter 


Roll out a 10” disc of shortdough for the top of the tarte, chill. In a heavy 10” sauté pan, melt the butter and 

add the sugar and lemon. Allow to cook on high heat until it becomes caramel. It should be a deep brown color. 

Allow cooling, the caramel should be firm. Peel and quarter the fruit. Remove the core, arrange fruit in a circle 

with cut side facing down in the pan on the cooled caramel. Top with the chilled short dough. Press the dough 

around the edges of the pears. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 20 minutes, reduce and cook at 350 until the dough 

is golden and the caramel is bubbly. If the caramel is wet, continue to cook. 

Allow the tarte to cool completely! Once cooled, warm the bottom of the sauté pan with the flame on your stove. 

Place a plate over the tarte and unmold. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

‘Tis the season of gift wrap and ribbon. Boaters, perhaps 

more than most groups, have chronically long wish lists, 

and the holidays are a great time to spread the smiles to the 

boaters in your life who matter to you. 

There’s a secret bonus to giving boaters gifts as well, 

for the odds are that you’ll get to try that new fishing rod 

or electronic gizmo the next time you’re out on the water 

with friends-turned-guinea pigs. Boating gear is the gift 

that keeps on giving, after all. 

There exists a daunting array of products aimed at the 

salt life, and they are certainly not created equal. Luckily 

for you, we’ve compiled this Holiday Gift Guide of a few 

of our favorite products on the market. Some of these 

products are new gear that will prepare you for the worst 

the sea can dish out, while others are nautical-themed 

goodies aimed at the weekend warriors and supportive 

landlubbers we associate with. 

Whoever is on your Nice List and however you choose 

to celebrate the holidays, we offer you this array of potential 

gifts because we’ve got your back. Have a joyous holiday 

season, and we wish you many days of safe fun on the water. 

TRIbella Classic Wine Aerator 

A glass of Oregon Pinot Noir on a boat is about as Northwest yachting as it gets. Most of us take a “fake it until 

you make it” approach to wine lingo, but we all toast our glasses just the same over the salon table. Regardless, 

it is nice to up your game a bit when the in-laws are in town, and Tribella’s Classic Wine Aerator is there for you. 

Tribella’s stainless steel wine aerator features a multi-stream design that aerates the wine straight out of the bottle 

as you pour. Have you ever been to a wine tasting and been told to wait while the newly opened bottle 

“breathes”? Well, this aerator’s purpose is to do just that while you pour. The triple-stream 

design lets in the maximum amount of air to unleash the full aroma and flavor of the wine 

during the pour. 

It also helps that the wine aerator is an elegant device built to last with a polycarbonate 

base and rubber gasket. The aerator comes with a protective carrying case for easy transport 

on and off the water. If wine is your scene, setting the stage is just a purchase away. Available 

from Fisheries Supply for $40.00.

Kingii Wristband 

Emergency Flotation Device 

Invented by a gentleman whose friend died from drowning, this bracelet-style device is 

extra insurance should you or your child find yourself in a water emergency. Acting as 

an inflatable should you need extra buoyancy, one pulls the lever and the bag opens, 

fills, and immediately takes one to the surface and safety. The device is lightweight 

and can be reused by replacing the CO2 cartridge. It works for a person up to 285 

pounds, but it is not intended to replace a life jacket. The Kingii Wearable is available 

from Kingii.com for $89.99.

One Bucket System 

The Shurhold Bucket System is more than your typical five-gallon bucket. With a bucket 

grate that is elevated off the bottom of the bucket, your cleaning tools will be in contact 

with clean water while the sludge rests on the bottom. The handle is made of sturdy 

rope, while the wide bucket base keeps it from tipping over when seas get rough. A 

caddy stores your sponges, rags, and cleaning products within the bucket and has a 

perforated bottom, allowing for drainage. When your chores are done, the bucket’s padded 

lid even doubles as a seat. We weren’t expecting to be blown away by a bucket, yet 

here we are. The Shurhold One Bucket System is available for $59.98 at shurhold.com.

Margaritaville Bali 

Free up time to mingle with your friends at your boat party with the self-dispensing Bali 

Frozen Concoction Maker from Margaritaville. A serious upgrade from previous models, this 

powerhouse has a 60-ounce pitcher, which means six 36-ounce drinks can be dispensed each 

time. This model also has four drink settings – margarita, daiquiri, mudslide or smoothie. The 

ice container on the top shaves the ice, while the blender mixes up the ingredients before 

combining the two. If you are entertaining a small group, the machine can be set to make 

either a half-chamber or full-chamber batch. Additionally, the high-quality brushed metallic 

and stainless steel exterior will look sleek on your countertop. Powered by 650 watts, this is 

the answer for a perfectly blended frozen cocktail, healthy smoothie, or shaved ice for the 

kids. It is available for $399.99 at margaritavillecargo.com.

created softer-tasting Champagne that was endorsed by the late Princess Diana and Jackie 

Kennedy. The grapes are handpicked and aged in barrels for five to ten years, and aged for 

a minimum of nine years. The nose is fresh and light, delicate with aromas of herbs, dried 

flowers, and lemon zest. The Palmes d’Or is well-balanced with low-levels of sweetness. 

Zesty flavors of lemon sorbet tickle the palate. $111.60 at winesearcher.com

Water Leak Alarm 

1 

Sometimes a good idea from the land turns into a great idea on the water. The Water Leak Alarm is such an item, and was originally invented as a small, 

deployable device to alert homeowners to a leaky sink or flooding basement. There are no buttons to push, no programming included, no wires, and no 

batteries to insert (they are built-in). The small device lets loose a 95-decible alarm that lasts up to 24 hours when it is exposed to water. See where 

we’re going with this? Put a Water Leak Alarm in a corner of the bilge as a failsafe and forget about it until that alarm sounds. It could help you get on a 

potential emergency before it gets out of control. Check them out at improvementscatalog.com, a set of three is $19.99.

Shurhold Pro Rotary Polisher 

Working with a lousy rotary polisher ranks as one of the worst punishments we boat owners 

put ourselves through. Fortunately, Shurhold’s new pro rotary polisher is here to help. The 

unit’s ergonomic D-style handle with comfortable trigger grip is a cinch to use, and the variable 

speed control can be set from anywhere from 300 to 3,200 RPM. The Pro is six pounds of 

functionality and common sense. Check it out at shurhold.com, price is $189.

Reef Leather Fanning Sandals 

This high-quality flip-flop, designed by surfing pro Mick Fanning, is made for good times. These 

sandals have a contoured injection molded EVA foot bed, with anatomical arch support and 

a full 360-degree heel airbag enclosed in soft polyurethane. Unlike cheap rubbery flip-flops, 

the Fanning features a full-grain leather upper and Reef’s icon herringbone rubber outsole. 

Just for fun, a church key bottle opener is tucked away in the sole for ease of enjoying a cool 

one at the end of the day’s activities. The Leather Fanning is available at Zappos.com for $55.

Fender Hooks

Sometimes a clove hitch on a rail just doesn’t cut it when it comes to fender placement in the 

slip. These Fender Hooks from Yacht Innovations are versatile attachments for fenders that 

get that critical protection where you need it most. Check them out at yachtinnovations.com, 

prices start at around $129.

Nomar Bumpers (not pictured) 

There are two kinds of boaters in this world: those who’ve bumped into the dock and those 

who’ve lied about it. Leaving a big ugly scratch on your hull is a pretty lousy way to end an 

otherwise fantastic day of boating. Nomar bumpers are non-marring, polyester, soft-mounted 

bumpers that absorb impact so docking can be stress free. Think of them as fenders that 

one mounts tactically on the dock. They have a narrow profile that leaves more space in the 

slip for the boat. The bumpers come in different sizes to cover most situations, such as the 

corner bumper that wraps around those sharp edges in the slip. Interested? Check them out 

at Holmes Marine Specialties (holmesms.com), prices range from around $99.95 to $109.95.

Garmin GMR Fantom 18 

The Garmin GMR Fantom 18 closed-dome radar is one of Garmin’s newest systems and a hotticket 

item. This solid-state, 40-Watt radar features MotionScope Technology that utilizes the

from you. There are a lot of great features in this unit and more information can be found

Furuno DRS6A X-Class 

2 

The Furuno DRS6A X-Class is a new open-array radar system that seeks to up the ante for the New Year. The X-Class is essentially 

an evolution of previous Furuno open-array models and is purported to have improved short-range detection and impressive 

long-range capabilities. The new gearbox pedestal is 20% lighter than Furuno’s existing legacy DRS6A unit and the low-noise 

motor has been improved. Features include Bird Mode, which identifies flocks of birds for easy fish finding. You can choose from a 

three-and-a-half-, four-, or six-foot antenna size. More details are available at furuno.com, prices vary by antenna size.

Helix 12 CHIRP 

3 

The Helix 12 CHIRP multifunction display from Humminbird is a larger, more powerful iteration of the 5 and 7 models that debuted 

last year. The unit packs the full range of fish-finding abilities found on pre-existing Helix 5 and 7 models, including Side, Down, 

and 360-Degree imaging. What’s new is that AutoChart Live gives you the ability to create your own detailed charts in real-time. 

The Helix 12 is also Ethernet-capable and can be networked with radar, AIS, and Minn Kota’s iPilot Link for trolling motors. 

But the fun doesn’t stop there, for the Helix 12 has a 25% processing speed increase over previous Helix models. The Helix 12 

has built-in sonar with frequency range capabilities of 200/83 kHz, 455/800/50 kHz, and a 28- to 250-kHz CHIRP. You can even 

customize your CHIRP bandwidth settings for your sweep to pinpoint that school of albacore. The base price for the Humminbird 

Helix 12 CHIRP is $2,299.

DJI Phantom Drones 

New drones keep swarming the market, but if you see a drone flying overhead, odds are that it is one of DJI’s Phantomfamily 

models that are widely used by serious amateurs and professionals alike. The Phantom 4 comes pre-assembled 

and ready to fly out of the box (after a summary firmware update and system check, of course). 

Like many of the new drones on a market, the pilot can control the Phantom 4 with an app on an Android or Apple 

tablet or phone in conjunction with a controller. The Phantom 4 has dramatically increased battery life with the largest 

Phantom battery to date. Maximum flight time is an impressive 28 minutes with a maximum control range of 3.1 

miles (according to DJI). Consumers report flight times that are three or four times longer than the Phantom 3, which 

means more quality footage before battery swaps. 

The drone also boasts a tracking feature that follows a target designated by the pilot. With a top speed of 44 mph, the 

tracking capability purportedly does pretty well. The Phantom 4 is the first drone in DJI’s family to feature a rudimentary 

collision-avoidance system that’s guided by two small front-facing cameras. You can turn off the collision avoidance 

if you are maneuvering in tight indoor conditions, but don’t blame the drone if it doesn’t go well. The basic package 

is $1,399 and includes a radio controller, a single lithium ion battery, a charger, two sets of propellers, a 16GB micro- 

SD memory card, and other accessories. The premium kit sells for $2,066 with two extra batteries and a backpack.

Fujinon Techno-Stabi binoculars 

These ultra-high-end, center-focused binoculars feature electronic stabilization to provide a stable image even when 

in motion (read “unsteady sea state”). The stabilization capability pairs well with the Techno-Stabi’s whopping 14x 

power magnification, which almost doubles the 8x magnification power of most typical full-sized binoculars. At 14x 

power magnification, the minute movements of your hands would normally make for a twitchy viewing experience. 

Not so in this case, thanks to the electronic stabilization. Additionally, the Techno-Stabi is waterproof and rugged for 

the adventure ahead. These super spectacles come with a price tag of $2,000 from Fisheries Supply.

Icom M93D Radio 

3 

The new M93D handheld marine transceiver from Icom is far more than just a VHF radio. The M93D radio has an 

integrated GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver that provides the user location, speed, and bearing 

data by utilizing GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, and SBAS information. The device can set GPS waypoints on the LCD screen, 

floats and is completely waterproof, and lights up when dropped in the water for easy visibility. The handheld even 

meets ITU-R M493-13 Class D DSC rating requirements, and has a dedicated built-in DSC receiver for channel 70. 

Moreover, the M93D radio is one of the slimmest handheld VHFs available and is going to make all kinds of folks 

happy this holiday season. Available from Fisheries Supply for $373.99.

Sioeye Iris4G

There are plenty of small, cheap, very good point-of-view cameras out on the market these days that are inspired by 

the GoPro craze, but many of them are rather similar. Maybe one has digital zoom, the other is slightly lighter, etc. Is 

somebody trying something different? Enter the Sioeye Iris4G, a mountable POV camera with cellular connectivity to 

the 4G network. That’s right, you can livestream your boating adventure right to your Facebook page or Twitter feed. 

Caught that big king? Now your buddies can get jealous instantly. Want to show your spouse that you made it to 

safe harbor after an extended cruise? There ya go. It’s yours for $429 from sioeye.com, and the soon-to-be-released 

Sioeye Iris4G Blink camera is available with a pre-order discount for $199.

dog collar 

dog leash 

Fido may not know left from right or port from starboard, 

but he can look like he does in this stylish collar, made 

from recycled sails and durable polyester webbing. The 

large collar adjusts from 17 to 25-inches and the medium 

collar measures from 15 to 23-inches. The attached D-ring 

easily accommodates a leash. Made on the waterfront in 

Portland, Maine. Available at seabags.com for $30. 

1 2 

If you have made the commitment to the port and starboard 

collar, why not complete the ensemble with the matching 

leash? Like the collar, the leash is also made from recycled 

sails, and gives the pooch six feet to roam in any direction. 

It attaches to the collar using a safety swivel hook. Like 

the collar, the port and Starboard leash is made in Maine, 

and can be machine washed or spot cleaned. Available at 

seabags.com for $35. 

Now that you have the port and starboard collar and leash, store them 

along with your best friend’s food, treats and favorite toys in this durable 

tote bucket made on the Maine waterfront. 

You’ll be able to carry it with ease from boat 

to car or home by the hand-spliced white 

rope handle. Don’t have a dog? Use it for 

storing kitchen utensils, picnic items or just 

about anything. The hand-sewn Paw Print 

applique keeps it whimsical, and is machine 

washable for easy care. It measures 9.5 

inches high and 7 inches wide. Available 

now for $40 at seabags.com.

Leatherman Wave 

The Checklist: Boater’s Guide 

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to find a Leatherman multi-tool in their stocking? 

Leatherman Tool Group, the Oregon-based company known for its knives and multi-tools, 

has been a mainstay around the world for thirty years. The Leatherman Wave is a natural 

choice for that special boater in your life because it is designed with a mariner’s needs in 

mind. The Wave is a modest four inches when folded, but packs 17 useful tools and features

and non-serrated blades, ruler, diamond-coated file, large and small bit screwdrivers, 

and more are at your disposal. What’s more, it’s made of high-carbon stainless steel and 

backed with a 25-year warranty. Bring on the salt! $89.85 from Fisheries Supply.

SolarPuff Lights 

This little cube will provide light for up to 12 hours, powered by the sun! Made from 

water-tight sailcloth, there should be no worries should it start to rain or if it falls off 

the boat. Since the SolarPuff folds flat, it packs easily into the pocket of one’s foulies or 

tucks into a cramped settee. When inflated, SolarPuff measures 4.5 inches high by 4.25 

inches wide and 4.25 inches deep. With three settings, the halogen light can be used on 

bright, very bright, or flashing modes. Fabric made in the USA. The SolarPuff is available

blue, and brown glass interspersed with white. The whole ornament is then frosted for a 

matte look, like beach glass. A high-quality brass hook is included. Each one is signed, 

dated, and numbered, and comes in a gift box with an information card. “Sea Glass” is 

$30 with a portion of proceeds to benefit the Seattle Public Library Foundation. Order yours

Water Jet Pack

If you haven’t seen one of these in action yet, you’re missing out. Water-powered jet packs are 

here and on the market for the adrenaline junkies among us who want to marry their love of 

the water with the thrill of flying. Jet pack operators can as effortlessly rocket into the air as 

dive into the brine, the limitations being hose length. The jet packs depend on a trailing dinghy 

that pumps the water through the pack and pushes pressurized water downward to propel the 

operator at great speeds. There are plenty of models and packages out there, ranging from 

$3,895 to $11,480 on jetpackamerica.com.

Transparent Canoe/Kayak 

Paddle sports are big here in the Pacific Northwest, and kayaks reign supreme. Kayaks can 

start to look alike after a while, and when something truly novel comes out it is worth noting. 

Enter the Transparent Canoe Kayak from Hammacher Schlemmer. This canoe-kayak hybrid has 

a transparent polymer hull, purported by the manufacturer to be made of the same stuff as 

the cockpit canopies of supersonic fighter jets, that allows the paddlers to see the underwater 

world beneath them. Imagine a curious orca rising out of the green waters of the Salish Sea 

beneath you! What’s more, adjustable tandem seats, a drop-down skeg, and two transparent 

fixed paddles mean this craft is ready to go the distance. Check it out at hammacher.com, 

priced is $999.95 at the time of this writing.

Laybag 

We’ve seen these pop up on the water around these parts and decided to take a closer look. The LayBag does not require a pump, rather you pull it 

horizontally through the air and you have your own aquatic nest and someplace to rest. Made of durable ripstop nylon, the multi-stage development 

process focused on the material, technology, functionality, and design making it tough enough for use in the snowy mountains. The LayBag is lightweight 

at only 2.5-pounds, and easy to carry in its own small carrying bag, ideal for stuffing in a suitcase or backpack. The LayBag is available in black, 

white, green, outdoor olive, pink, ruby, blue, California (yellow), and Clementine. Price varies depending on color from $50 to $89 at en.laybag.com.

Cabana Islander by Kwik Tek, Inc. 

Float in comfort and convenience come summertime! This floating cabana will comfortably accommodate you and five friends. The detachable cover 

provides shade and a center swim porthole lets you slip in the water for a dip. Constructed of heavy-gauge PVC, the cabana has a boarding platform 

to assist you in loading up your picnic lunch. Don’t forget the beverages or perishables either, because you can leave them in the floating 16-quart 

cooler. Made in the U.S., Kwik Tek is known for high-performance and durable outdoor gear. Measures 76-inches long by 102-inches wide and 82-inches 

high when inflated. The cabana comes with a 90-day limited warranty and is available on hayneedle.com for $260.85.

Kula 5 Cooler 

The Kula 5 Cooler is a versatile option from Bote with plenty of great applications for the fisherman on the go. 

The five-gallon, bucket-style cooler looks a bit like a bear can when considered from the outside, complete with 

locked seal. The tough build means you can not only use the Kula 5 as a cooler for your brews, but as a baitwell, 

rod holder, cast net holder, equipment storage, and even a seat. A drain plug, handles, non-slip feet, and 

attachable shoulder strap are a few of the simple, good ideas that make the Kula 5 an essential part of your day 

outside. You can get one for $249.99 from westmarine.com. 

2 

Frabill 1-Float Suit 

Plenty of folks like to throw a line in the water on a nice summer day, but here in the Pacific Northwest, the truly 

dedicated aren’t always going to have the luxury of summertime temperatures. For those who are out there in the 

rain, sleet, and snow, the Frabill 1-Float Suit may become an invaluable piece of gear. The award-winning 1-Float 

jacket is one of the few floatation-assisting suits to be recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard as a USCG-Certified 

Personal Floatation Device. This jacket is hardcore because it is targeted toward ice fishermen, and even comes 

with ice-pick holders. Features like the 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material and mesh drain ports help turn this rugged 

piece of technical apparel into a potential lifesaver. Check the Frabill 1-Float Suit at frabill.com, priced at $299.99.

Avlare Performance Top 

Sometimes we just have to be brought back to the basics. Zhik’s Avlare performance top is a high-quality shirt 

made for the wet Pacific Northwest environment. The fabric behaves much like other water-wicking pieces of 

apparel, but is a quarter of the weight of spandex and is made to keep the wearer nice and dry, regardless of 

sideways rain or spray. Get yours from zhik.com for $185.

GO YOUR 

Northwest Yachting’s 2016 Washington & B.C. Charter Guide // By Northwest Yachting Staff 

For many, the logistics of seeing 

the world from the helm in the 

F traditional “go now” way with 

their own boat can be hard to 

pull off. Why not skip the months of bluethemed 

monotony between destinations 

and simply charter your way through the 

world’s top cruising grounds? 

Chartering as an alternative option or 

supplement to boat ownership has several 

benefits. While the costs are not cheap by 

any “normal” standard, chartering a yacht 

is far cheaper than ownership. If one only 

boats for a few weeks or months out of the 

year, it may just be worth it. What’s more, 

the rented vessel is primed and ready to 

go right out of the gate, which means more 

time enjoying the water and less time tinkering 

(or swearing) at Murphy and his law. 

Additionally, chartering companies can 

provide valuable resources to maximize a 

trip’s potential. Local knowledge given by 

hired skippers, meals cooked up by gourmet 

chefs, and nature experiences narrated by 

naturalists can enrich the adventure while 

keeping one’s mind at ease. 

We here in the Pacific Northwest live in 

one of those places that ranks high on the 

world’s lists of great cruising grounds. As 

a result, we are spoiled for choice when it 

comes to chartering companies. Feel free 

to be picky and ask questions. This annual 

charter-company guide is your tool to find 

the company that can make your dream 

come true. Envision your perfect adventure 

and make it happen.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN 

ADVENTURE! 

By Sherri Huleatt 

A ton of choices go into deciding where, when, and what to charter. 

Sherri Huleatt, on behalf of Northwest Explorations, gives us an insider perspective. 

J 

Jean Turnbull is one of the most experienced mariners you’re likely to meet. 

She’s cruised all over the world with her partner, Priscilla Myers, including 

a one-year, 6,300-mile circumnavigation around eastern North America and 

an 18-week trip around Alaska’s Inside Passage. She’s cruised the Bahamas, the Great 

Lakes, the St. Lawrence River to the north Atlantic, the Rideau Canal in Ontario, and more. 

She also has her 100-ton near-coastal merchant mariner’s certificate from Massachusetts 

Maritime Academy. 

Despite the training, adventures, and 

thousands of miles under her keel, there’s a 

twist to the story: she doesn’t own a single 

boat. Instead, she’s been a charter customer 

for years. 

For seasoned skippers like Jean, and 

even boating newbies, chartering is one 

of the smartest decisions they could make: 

it allows them to travel all over the world 

in a private boat, without having to worry 

about the extra costs, maintenance, and 

stress that comes with being a boat owner. 

“Our charter customers come from all 

over the world,” Brian Pemberton, owner 

of NW Explorations, a Bellingham charter 

company, said. “The yacht is ready to go as 

soon as they step off the plane and outfitted 


with all the comforts of home. The refrigerator 

is already cool, the sheets are already on 

the beds, and the yacht is in perfect condition 

and ready to cruise—your floating hotel is 

ready to go! Plus, we’ve got some of the best 

cruising in the world, right in our backyard. 

Customers can explore the beautiful San Juan 

Islands, secluded Inside Passage, incredible 

Gulf Islands, and beyond.” 

WHAT TO LOOK 

FOR IN A CHARTER 

Chartering your own yacht offers an unforgettable 

experience, but it can also come 

with a hefty price tag. With that in mind, 

don’t sacrifice a good trip by skimping on 

price. Getting the right yacht from the right 

charter company is key to ensuring you have 

a safe and enjoyable cruise. 

Turnbull and her partner met with 10 

different Washington charter companies 

before deciding on NW Explorations. And 

her tenacity paid off. “We were so pleased 

with the quality of the fleet and the professionalism 

of the NW Explorations staff that 

we have been chartering with the company 

ever since,” Turnbull said. 

If you’re looking to get started with charters 

or try out a new company, here’s what 

to look for. 

1. Pick Your Adventure. First thing’s first: 

where do you want to go? And what do you 

want to experience? For some charterers, 

sunbathing in 85-degree weather with a good 

book and glass of wine is their ideal vacation. 

For others, bundling up and watching humpback 

whales crest the water while a massive 

glacier calves in the distance is the ticket. 

For others, it’s spending time away with 

friends and family, without the distractions 

that come from daily life. Charters offer all 

of these experiences and more, so choosing 

what you want out of your trip is an integral 

first step. 

Ask yourself: do you want to cover a lot of 

area in a limited amount of time or take your 

time meandering towns and anchorages? Is 

it more important for you to have space and 

comfort, or speed? How well-equipped does 

your vessel need to be and how seaworthy 

should she be? Do you Continued want on to Page have 68 a self- 


Flotillas are a great way to see the great outdoors in the Pacific Northwest. Not only does one have the support 

of fellow boaters and experts, but making new friends is almost guaranteed. 

sufficient experience with a bareboat 

charter or make new friends with a 

guided flotilla? 

For long-time charter customer David 

Charvat, nothing compares to the Inside 

Passage through British Columbia. The 

trip offers “breathtaking beauty and endless 

remote anchorages,” Charvat said. 

“It’s like Lake Huron and Lake Superior 

on an overdose of steroids!” 

Jean Turnbull agreed, saying “nothing 

compares with the waters of British 

Columbia and Alaska for wildlife 

and scenery.” 

Whether you’re looking for ultimate 

seclusion or bustling seaside towns, understanding 

what you want out of your 

trip is the first step in planning it. 

2. Research the Company. Getting 

to know the company will tell you a lot 

about the yacht. From how they answer 

the phones, to the quality of their website, 

to their online reviews, there are plenty 

of ways to research a company before 

booking your trip. 

Once you’ve decided where you want to 

go, take the time to research the company’s 

reputation. Ask your charter friends and 

check out reviews on TripAdvisor. Also, 

research the team and company culture. 

What’s their mission and core values? 

Are they boaters themselves? How knowledgeable 

are they about their yachts and 

local boating? 

If something goes wrong on your trip, 

do they have a support system in place 

to assist you? What’s their policy in case 

there’s a mechanical issue? 

Picking the right charter company 

ensures you have the yacht, support, and 

experience you want. 

3. Know the Vessel. For many charterers, 

it’s all about the boat. Making sure 

your boat is in prime condition will help 

you avoid the annoying mechanical errors 

and oversights that can ruin a trip. 

Age isn’t a clear indicator of a boat’s 

health (even new boats break down, after 

all), so ask to see the charter company’s 

maintenance schedule and checklist. 

NW Explorations, for example, has an 

extensive 18-page checklist that each of 

their yachts must pass before leaving the 

dock. 

Also check out the navigational equipment. 

Is it up-to-date? Is the interior kept 

clean, modern, and welcoming? Are the 

galleys fully stocked? Are there fishing 

suplies, crab pots, and dinghies on board? 

More than anything: don’t be afraid to 

ask! Your charter company should have 

answers for all of these questions. If they 

The further north one ventures, the more likely it is that 

one encounters jaw-dropping glaciers. 

don’t, you might want to look elsewhere 

for your next charter. 

IS A FLOTILLA 

RIGHT FOR YOU? 

While some charterers prefer the independence 

of bareboat charters, others like 

the camaraderie and guidance of flotillas. 

“Flotillas offer an incredible adventure, 

paired with getting to know a group of 

adventurous skippers from all over the 

world,” Pemberton said. “Our flotillas 

are led by a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed 

Captain, mechanic, and certified naturalist 

who narrates key sightseeing spots and 

historical locations along the way. For our 

flotilla customers, this trip offers the best 

of both worlds: they get to experience real 

freedom and adventure in some of the 

world’s most beautiful locations, while 

making new friends and having experts 

help them along the way.” 

Wondering if a flotilla is right for you? 

Here are some reasons people choose 

flotillas instead of going it alone: 

1. You’re in Good Company. “It never 

ceases to amaze me the incredible relationships 

that are built aboard our flotillas,” 

Pemberton said. “Here, you have a group 

of like-minded people who could have 

gone to an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica 

and been served chilled cocktails all day, 

but instead, chose an adventure. An adventure 

where they cook their own meals, 

skipper their own yachts, experience native 

cultures, spot rare wildlife, and get 

to experience real freedom away from 

technology and the hustle and bustle of 

everyday life.” 

Pemberton said there are groups that 

met while aboard a flotilla, and have returned 

year after year together because 

they forged such a strong bond during 

the trip. 

Between group meals, cocktail hours, 

and the sheer excitement of experiencing 

an adventure together, flotillas are an 

amazing way to grow closer to loved ones 

and make lifelong friends. 

2. Intimate Experience. While cruise 

ships can take you to a majority of the 

same places as a flotilla, they don’t hold

a candle to the kind of up-close and personal 

experience you get with a flotilla 

or bareboat charter. With these trips, you 

can spot humpback whales and orcas, 

cruise alongside massive glaciers, and 

stop at completely secluded anchorages 

and villages. 

According to flotilla passengers Todd 

Whitmer and Judy Abraham, flotillas are 

the way to go. “Many companies in the 

travel business use the term, ‘trip of a 

lifetime.’ We have been lucky enough to 

take several trips described this way. But 

this experience—Leg 1 and 2 of Mother 

Goose 2016—is the first trip that has 

truly lived up to that description!” The 

Mother Goose flotilla, so named because 

of there is a lead boat, explores the Inside 

Passage and is an annual Northwest 

Exploration adventure. 

3. Get Help from the Experts. Apart 

from the people, adventure, and intimacy, 

having a trained crew is another huge 

draw for flotilla customers. This allows 

lifelong boaters and newly-minted skippers 

to travel in confidence, no matter 

where they go. Typically, flotillas include 

a captain, mechanic, and naturalist who 

can narrate the trip. 

This can remove a significant amount 

of stress from the trip. Passengers don’t 

have to worry about where to go or wonder 

if they’re missing the best sightseeing 

spots or wildlife—the trip and itinerary 

are planned for them. 

Charter programs 

Programs 

For for Owners 

If you’re already a yacht owner, there’s 

no need to feel left out of all the charter 

fun. Adding your yacht to a charter 

ownership program could be one of the 

best boating decisions you make. This 

program allows current yacht owners, 

whose boat meets the charter company’s 

requirements, to charter their yacht to 

other boat lovers. 

For NW Explorations, if someone 

purchases an approved yacht through 

them and adds it to their charter fleet, 

they don’t have to pay any sales tax on 

the yacht. Likewise, they get year-round 

maintenance and care, prime moorage 

at the gateway to the San Juans and Gulf 

Islands, and 60% of the yacht’s charter 

revenue. This extra revenue allows 

The Best BEST PNW 

Charter CHARTEr spots sPOTs 

members to offset the cost of insurance, 

maintenance, and financing. 

“It’s really a win-win for yacht owners,” 

Pemberton said. “The average boat 

owner only uses their boat two to three 

weeks out of the year — joining a charter 

ownership program allows them to put 

those weeks they’re not using their yacht 

to good use. Plus, their yacht is ready for 

them whenever they want it.” 

Pemberton said most of their charter 

owners live outside of Washington. Being 

in this program means their yacht is 

ready for them as soon as they arrive. She 

is already cleaned, triple-checked, and 

ready for cruising. 

Whether you’re a boat owner, charter 

customer, or flotilla passenger — cruising 

the Pacific Northwest is an unforgettable 

adventure. Experience the beautiful San 

Juan Islands, the bustling Gulf Islands, or 

some of the rarest wildlife in the world, 

including bald eagles, orcas, humpback 

whales, bears, and more. 

To start, check out the San Juan Islands. 

This 172-island archipelago is 

ranked as one of the top 10 island destinations 

in America. The islands offer 

a wealth of natural beauty, rich history, 

and peaceful anchorages. A few stops 

you won’t want to miss: Sucia Island 

is incredibly secluded and taken up 

almost entirely by Washington State 

Park land. The island also offers about 

10 miles of hiking trails and anchorage 

at Echo Bay or Fossil Bay. Next, swing 

by Patos Island and grab some pictures 

of the historic Patos Island Light Station 

built in 1893. 

No trip to the San Juans is complete 

without visiting Roche Harbor on San 

Juan Island—a quaint harbor filled 

with art, fine dining, and an eerie mausoleum—and 

Rosario Resort on Orcas 

Island, a stunning historic mansion, 

that offers a spa, historic exhibit, and an 

impressive pipe organ and grand piano 

concert every evening. 

Other highlights include the privately 

owned Spieden Island, which is home to 

exotic goats, sheep and deer that can be 

seen from the water, and the one-room 

Stuart Island School and Museum, located 

on Stuart Island. 

The Pacific Northwest 

is blessed with worldclass 

wildlife, like the 

breaching humpback 

whale pictured left. The 

biologically productive 

waters of the North 

Pacific seasonally 

draw whales and other 

animals to the veritable 

buffet under the waves. 

A good chartering company will keep the yachts 

in their fleet in top-notch, turn-key condition so 

clients spend more time cruising. 

Once you’ve conquered the San 

Juans, it’s time for British Columbia’s 

Gulf Islands. These islands stretch from 

Victoria to Nanaimo on the east coast of 

Vancouver Island, and benefit from the 

rain shadow effect, which gives them 

more than 2,000 hours of sunshine and 

only 30 inches of rain a year. 

Start your trip by clearing customs at 

Bedwell Harbour — home to the elegant 

Poets Cove Resort and Spa. Swing by 

Victoria to stroll through Butchart Gardens, 

then wander through Ganges on 

Salt Spring Island — an eclectic seaside 

village, known for its many art studios 

and Farmers Market held every Saturday. 

Be sure to stop by Montague Harbour 

on Galiano Island, so you can take the 

Hummingbird Bus up to the Hummingbird 

Pub for some tasty pub fare and 

chilled libations. For nature lovers, stop 

at the Pirates Cove Marine Provincial 

Park located on the southeastern tip of De 

Courcy Island. This park offers 75 acres 

of hiking trails, swimming, clamming, 

kayaking, and relaxing. 

Cap off your Gulf Islands trip by 

making your final stop at Nanaimo — 

a bustling port city with a museum, 

outdoor markets, quaint seaside shops, 

decadent seafood restaurants, and 

oceanside parks. And, of course, you’ll 

want to sample the world-famous and 

delicious Nanaimo bar dessert, named 

after the lively city.

Copper is a regulated toxic metal. Studies have indicated that salmon lose their 

fight-or-flight instinct due to even low amounts of copper in the water. 

The mission of the Clean Boating Foundation is to both provide 

voluntary market-based solutions for a more environmentally 

sustainable recreational boating industry and to promote clean

RACING SHEET 

Grand Finales 

Words: Doug Hansen // Photos: Jan Anderson 

As the rainy months settle in 

and most boats are covered for 

the winter, racers grasp at straws 

for the last moments of the sailing 

season. Grand Prix (October 

28-30) and Round the County 

(November 5-6) are historically 

two of the most prestigious regattas 

in the Northwest, and 

mark the end of fall. 

The three-day Grand Prix 

Invitational Regatta hosted by 

Seattle Yacht Club invites bigboat 

racers to a weekend of short 

and medium distance racing on 

Puget Sound. This year the fleets 

ranged from the ever growing 

J/80 One Design up to the 70-foot 

monsters of the ORC fleet. Racing 

began Friday afternoon with a 

light southerly that settled into 

8-13 knots as the day went on. 

Fleets got off two races and then 

retired to the Corinthian Yacht 

Club for dinner and drinks. 

Saturday brought light winds 

and longer courses, with fleets 

being set down around Blakely 

Rock and back to finish off West 

Point. The fickle breeze and 

heavy commercial traffic made 

tactics difficult and those who 

could keep their heads in the 

game and played the shifts made 

big gains. Sunday morning came 

and fleets headed out again in a 

light southerly, starting one race 

that was abandoned as the wind 

shifted 90 degrees. After waiting 

for the wind to settle, the course 

was reset and all fleets got off one 

start with the wind dying before 

the majority of the fleet could finish. 

The event concluded with a 

fantastic awards dinner at Seattle 

Yacht Club Sunday evening. 

The annual Round The County 

stands alone as one of the most 

successful races in the Northwest. 

Selling out in under 24 hours 

and with fleets ranging from 

the venerable Santa Cruz 27 to 

the 11 boat ORC big-boat fleet, 

all of the top boats come out for 

the weekend. This year’s course 

took racers clockwise around San 

Juan Island. Saturday started off 

Lydia Shoal with a 30-knot front 

moving through as boats short 

tacked along the Blakely Island 

shoreline. The mixed-up fleets 

and hails for shore room made 

for exciting moments. The wind 

slowly subsided and many boats 

struggled to reach the finish line. 

The party in Roche Harbor did not 

disappoint, and for crews arriving 

to the dock late into the evening, 

the beer tent and hot BBQ were 

welcomed sights. Sunday began 

with a light air spinnaker run out 

of Roche Harbor. The wind began 

to build as boats rounded the 

north end of the islands to the low 

20’s and made for a challenging 

upwind run toward the finish. 

Next on the racing calendar is 

the South Sound Series beginning 

with Winter Vashon on December 

3. The rest of the South Sound 

Series waits until the New Year 

and will take racers to Olympia 

for the Toliva Shoals Race and 

Des Moines for the Duwamish 

Head Race. 

Top: Between the Grand Prix and Round the County races, sailors were exposed to a whole range of conditions ranging 

from fickle breezes to 30-knot winds. Just about anything is possible on Puget Sound this time of year.

OF CALL 

Revamped Waterfront 

Bremerton’s waterfront has undergone a complete overhaul since the 

2000s, and the results are quite impressive. The nucleus of the open, 

walkable downtown is the Bremerton Marina, the Kitsap Conference Center 

at Bremerton Harborside, and the ferry terminal. For food, you can stick to 

the chains you prefer, like Cold Stone Creamery, Subway, Starbucks, Taco del 

Mar, etc., or wander afield to see what makes Bremerton unique. SEEfilm Bremerton 

Cinema on Burwell St. is the local movie theater featuring the newest releases. We dive into 

these attractions in greater depth later, but the Puget Sound Navy Museum, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard 

Memorial Plaza, Harborside Fountain Memorial Park, USS Turner Joy, Admiral Theatre, and all kinds of eateries 

and bars await. Another fun bonus is the Foot Ferry, a micro-ferry based out of a small terminal near the 

Bremerton Marina. This ferry service takes walk-on passengers across Sinclair Inlet to Port Orchard in case you 

want to check it out but don’t want to leave your transient moorage space to the wolves. 

By Norris Comer 

E 

Esther Bielmeier Boyd was a WWI-era shipyard 

worker in Bremerton, Washington who was anonymously 

immortalized in black and white photography 

in 1919. She stands casually in the picture over an 

open rivet-heating furnace, tongs in hand, and wears 

a distracted smirk from under her brimmed hat. Her hands 

are protected by heavy gloves, her feet by work boots. When 

a statue of her from the photo was erected in the Puget 

Sound Naval Shipyard Memorial Plaza nearly 100 years 

later in 2009, it was her son who identified her to the world. 

“She would’ve been embarrassed,” Lyle Boyd said 

of his humble mother to the Kitsap Sun. Welcome to 

Bremerton, a Navy town that’s transforming into a 

boater-oriented destination. 

When boaters talk of their favorite places, it’s unusual that 

they’ll say Bremerton. Tucked in the Central Sound due west 

of Seattle, Bremerton’s gritty soul has always been married to 

the Navy. From the days of Esther to the conceivable future, 

the Bremerton Naval Shipyard is a cornerstone of American 

military might in the region, and understanding the Navy’s 

role in the community is key. “Our War Count” of built and 

repaired WWII warships is proudly displayed on the bow 

section of the decommissioned USS South Carolina alongside 

Esther’s statue. When the clock hits five, a stream of ship 

workers, predominately men with long beards and sturdy 

barrel-builds, flows from the shipyard. 

But Bremerton’s future is diversifying. The town 

completely rebuilt the marina and surrounding area in 

the late 2000s. Now public art, open plazas, and new attractions 

like the revamped Naval History Museum have 

settled into their new locations. Not all boating towns are 

quaint hamlets on scenic islands, and Bremerton remains 

one of those authentic working communities where you 

could conceivably buy a round for off-the-clock shipyard 

workers. Bremerton, in essence, is still Esther the Riveter, 

with all her plain-Jane beauty and honest, working soul. 

These days, Esther may have a bit of spending money and 

maybe she puts on a nice dress to go out on the weekends. 

But it’s good to know, if the world grows sour, Esther still 

has her work gloves and knows how to dish out warships. 

The Bremerton Marina is the go-to choice for boaters, 

as it is in the center of the fun. The marina is on Sinclair 

Inlet, which is accessible from either the north (southbound 

through Agate Passage) or south (through Rich 

Passage) sides of Bainbridge Island. As always around 

the narrow passages of Puget Sound, the tides are worth 

consideration. The Seattle-Bremerton ferry runs east-west 

through Sinclair Inlet, so be mindful. The ferry terminal 

is a few blocks from the Bremerton Marina. Everyone is 

bound for the same port of call. 

Naval Heritage 

For those who love the gray hulls of the world’s toughest boats of 

yore, Bremerton is the Puget Sound Mecca. The USS Turner Joy DD 951, a 

Forrest Sherman-class destroyer, has been turned into a public floating 

museum in the Bremerton Marina. Not only are tours available, but the ship 

is also an event space for things like family movie nights, college meet and 

greets, board game nights, and more. Prices vary for admission, ranging from 

free for children ages four and under and active military to $14 for adults. Hours are 

1000 hours to 1700 hours, seven days a week from March to October, and 1000 hours to 1600 hours 

Wednesday through Sunday from November to February. More info at ussturnerjoy.com. 

The Puget Sound Navy Museum is located right between the ferry terminal and the Navy Shipyard. Opened 

in 2007, the museum is a must-see for those interested in sailors, submarines, and battleships. The Harborside 

Park feels almost like an extension of the museum, and leads visitors south past battleship-inspired monuments 

to the water’s edge. Museum hours are 1000 hours to 1600 hours seven days a week, but closed on Tuesdays 

from October to April. Admission is free. 

For the truly intrepid, catching a glimpse of the many warships inside the Naval Shipyard can be a bit of a 

challenge due to restricted access. The best way on foot may involve some improvised walking west along the 

northern edge of the base. Try not to look suspicious. Alternatively, we are boaters here, and you may get some 

better views on the water. If you do make it to the eastside of the shipyard, there is a small Bug Museum on 

Charleston Blvd. as a perk. 

Admiral Theatre 

The Admiral Theatre, established in 1942 during the WWII shipping 

boom, is an art deco movie house that was renovated in 1997 into a live 

entertainment and events venue. The theater touts over 110 diverse 

performances and special events that include concerts, comedy shows, 

movies, theatrical productions, and more. Also enticing is the embraced 

concept of “dinner theatre,” which makes the Admiral both a high-culture and 

high-dining stop. Check out their website at admiraltheatre.org for more 

information on upcoming attractions. 

Pub Crawl 

There’s no shortage of drinking holes in downtown Bremerton with 

several notable highlights. Another Castle Arcade Edition is essentially 

an arcade out of the 70s, complete with dozens of pinball and videogame 

machines with an emphasis on the classics like Mortal Kombat, that 

also serves beer. Or is it a pub with arcade machines? You’ll have to be the 

judge. Lovecraft Brewing and Wobbly Hopps Brewery are also downtown and a 

stone’s throw from each other for microbrew aficionados. The South Pacific Sports 

Bar is a great place to catch the game. Most of the restaurants have a bar element as well, and we’ll get to 

that later in this article. 


Across the Bridge 

Green Space 

The go-to lawn of Bremerton is the Evergreen Rotary Park, about a halfmile 

schlep north from the Bremerton Marina. Covered picnic areas, a boat 

launch, and playground make this place a natural family outing. Basketball and 

volleyball courts, and horseshoe pits, are present in force and offer something 

to do for those who like a friendly competition. The Farmer’s Market is in the park 

on Thursdays, 1600 hours to 1900 hours during May through October. A 9/11 Memorial 

sits reflectively in the southeast corner. 

The nearby Honor Bar, on the corner of Sheldon Blvd and McKenzie Ave, is easy to overlook, but you’d be 

doing yourself a disservice. This coffee house/bar hybrid is a local favorite complete with outdoor seating and 

warmly glowing light stringers. 

Manette is a neighborhood of Bremerton located across the Manette 

BOATS Bridge, FOR east SALE! of downtown proper, and is a charming, pedestrian-themed 

RS PROTECTED district with a boutique feel that’s well worth a visit. Why walk when you 

SAIL

Gastronomy 

Downtown 

Bremerton 

Ferry Terminal 

^ Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton 

The revitalized Bremerton downtown 

has an eclectic grab bag of dining 

options. Establishments like the 

Kama’Aina Grill Bremerton (Hawaiian 

BBQ) and The Curry Indian Cuisine & 

Lounge stand within striking distance of the 

Toro Lounge (think Spanish tapas and wine) and 

the Mexican/Salvadorian El Balcon. 

Craving sushi? The Umami Kitchen has you covered. But it is the grill 

pubs, like the Bremerton Bar and Grill, that seem to be the mainstay, and 

beer and burger combinations are plentiful. 

We dropped in at Anthony’s at Sinclair Inlet-Bremerton that overlooks 

the Bremerton Marina and it really hit the spot. The spacious establishment, 

complete with a long bar, could probably host most of the tenants 

in the marina below all at once. The Wild Ponzu Salmon Bowl ($15.95) 

was extra tasty. 

We also made the jump across the bridge to Manette and gave the 

Boat Shed a run. It’s easy to see why this seafood restaurant and bar is 

considered one of the most popular in the area. The dinghy dock leads 

right up to the enormous patio, and the interior has an intimate, woodplank-feel 

to it that is downright charming. The Mediterranean Mussels

FEATURING 

JAMES ENG 

OF DR. LED 

“ It is better to light a candle than 

curse the darkness.” 

JAMES ENG 

James Eng is the owner and founder 

of Dr. LED, a marine-specific LED lighting 

manufacturer. He earned his graduate 

degree from Caltech and has over 30 

years of experience designing power 

electronics systems in the aerospace 

industry. Eng and most of his Dr. LED team 

members are boaters as well and love 

getting out on the water. He has many 

fond memories of winter sailing in Puget 

Sound aboard his Catalina sailboats. 

— Eleanor Roosevelt 

Y 

ou may have noticed the 

Christmas light displays 

popping up this time of 

year. We sure have, and, 

because we are Northwest Yachting, 

our thought processes shifted to 

lighting on our boats. Marine lighting 

is important after all, especially 

after the sun sets in Puget Sound 

where cargo ships and deadheads 

can be plentiful. 

Marine lighting is a surprisingly 

complex subject, and the 

industry is still rocked by the 

LED revolution that began in 

the early 2000s. Long story short, 

just about everyone who can convert 

from Edison’s incandescent 

bulbs to LEDs are doing so, and 

the list for resisting is becoming 

shorter by the day. LEDs can 

even mimic the warm-glow look 

of incandescent, and with far 

longer life spans and less power 

demands per lumen, LED is winning 

the war. In all likelihood, it 

has probably already won. 

But what makes a LED bulb 

better than the next? The market 

is flooded with cheap Chinese 

LED strips that are sold for pocket 

change. What do the maritime 

pros, like the Coast Guard or 

Navy, use? We scouted the Pacific 

Northwest for lighting gurus and 

found our expert for this edition 

of Ask the Experts. James Eng, 

owner and founder of Dr. LED, 

enlightens us to the world of 

marine lighting in late 2016. 

Q: Tell us a little about yourself. Who are 

you and what is the story about Dr. LED? 

Well, I was in aerospace since 

the mid 80s in the area and I’ve 

been designing electronics for a 

long time. I did my graduate work 

in power electronics at CalTech. 

I’ve been a boater since I was very 

young and most of our team members 

are boaters, mostly sailboat 

people. 

About 15 years ago I recognized 

that LED was the way to 

go. The ratio of lumens (unit of 

light) per watt (unit of power) 

was increasing. The price was 

still expensive, but at the same 

time, it was dropping. We realized 

that soon it would replace 

the incandescent bulb. 

Q: Yes, there seems to be quite a LED 

revolution since then in the marine world. 

Yes. We started designing LED 

bulbs for the marine market in 

early 2000. Our first product line 

was LED replacement bulbs for 

navigation lights. At that time, it 

was the infancy of LED lighting 

in the marine market, so people 

didn’t know much about how to 

design and manufacture LEDs. 

2004ish was really the birth of Dr. 

LED (with navigation bulbs). 

Q: Let’s talk about the advantages 

that LED has over incandescent. What 

are they? 

A Light Emitting Diode (LED) 

is a solid-state device that emits 

light when power is applied to it. 

It is rugged, lasts much longer, 

and is much more efficient than 

incandescent. LED bulbs will last 

much longer than incandescent provided 

they are properly designed 

and manufactured. For example, 

current regulation is a must in all 

LEDs and heat needs to be properly 

dissipated. By the way, all our products 

are fully tested at the factory 

for several hours. 

Incandescent is about 10 lumens 

per watt. Also, incandescents, 

depending on the bulb, are rated 

from low 50 hours to 500 hours. 

With LED, they go to 10,000 hours 

easy if you design them to operate 

within their safe operating region. 

Q: What are some of the challenges 

related to making LED bulbs? How complicated 

can it be? 

In order to be in compliance 

with the U.S. Coast Guard and 

ABYC regulations for navigational 

lights, you have to meet 

a (chromaticity) spectrum and 

intensity requirements for what 

white or red or green is as specified. 

We have been the only one 

in the boating market offering a 

series of navigation LED bulbs 

that are in compliance with 

the US Coast Guard and ABYC 

regulations with certain navigation 

lights. 

One thing many people don’t 

realize is that you can’t put a white 

LED bulb behind a color lens. It 

is kind of anti-intuitive. With incandescent, 

you put a white bulb 

behind a colored lens and you get 

that color (eg. green lens = green 

light), but you need to use a much 

higher wattage. For example, for 

a two-nautical mile anchor light, 

you use a 10-watt incandescent 

bulb for white. But for a red or 

green lens, you need to use a 25- 

watt bulb. This is because you are 

not using most of the spectrum 

(energy) from the incandescent 

bulb. Hence, incandescent bulbs 

are very energy inefficient. 


Meanwhile, LED is the other 

way around. It is very efficient 

when in color, but white LED is 

actually mostly blue and yellow. 

This is a human-eye response 

thing. We perceive white LED 

light as white, but if you look 

at the spectrum, it’s mostly blue 

and yellow. So if you put a white 

LED behind a red or green lens, it 

doesn’t look right. You don’t have 

the intensity and the color doesn’t 

respond as you think it would. 

So we’ve been trying to educate 

boaters over last ten years that 

you need to keep this in mind. We 

design single color, bicolor, and 

tricolor LED bulbs for navigation 

lights and it is actually quite 

a challenge. We have several U.S. 

patents issued for us for our inventions. 

By the way, we were the first 

ones to come up with warm-white 

LEDs for interior lights. 

Q: For the marine market? 

Yes, in the marine market. 

About ten years ago, we came 

up with a series of warm white 

LED bulbs and fixtures for interior 

lights. The key was to make 

bulbs with the proper color temperature 

(whiteness measured in 

Kelvin). Most people like their 

“yellowish” (~2800 Kelvin) incandescent 

bulb for interior use. We 

came out with warn white LED 

bulbs at about 3,200 Kelvin. At the 

time, most were over 5,000 Kelvin 

which is rather bluish, cool white 

light. Since then, our warmest 

bulbs are getting warmer and 

warmer. Now they are below 

3,000 Kelvin for a warmer glow. 

Q: I’ve heard that the Navy, Coast Guard, 

and Air Force use your products? Those are 

some convincing endorsements. 

We were the only one who put 

regulators inside the bulbs and fixtures 

when marine LED lighting was 

at its infancy. Most other brands of 

LED bulbs and fixtures had no regulation 

inside the fixtures or bulbs 

at that time. That was problematic, 

such LEDs would fail prematurely. 

For a 12-Volt system, the output 

voltage range varies from 11.5-Volt 

(discharged battery) to 14.5-Volt 

(battery being charged). Without 

regulation, LED bulbs would either 

be too dim at low voltage or burnt 

out at high voltage. 

So when we first came out with 

our LED light bulb, we were the 

only ones with built-in regulation. 

Now it’s getting even more 

sophisticated with things like 

temperature compensation etc. 

And the bulbs last a lot longer. 

The Navy was looking for LED 

fixtures for some of their vessels 

and after testing many brands of 

LED lights they decided to specify 

our fixtures. The U.S. Air Force 

also uses some of our fixtures 

in their boats as well. Some of 

our LED fixtures have U.S. Federal 

Government National Stock 

Numbers, meaning they are standardized 

government material 

items. The USCG buys some LED 

bulbs for their navigation lights 

for their cutters as they do not 

want to change the incandescent 

bulbs while underway at sea. One 

of the reasons was that we were 

among the first in the marine 

market to use U.S.-made CREE 

LEDs (the component) for our 

bulbs and fixtures. They have 

the best LEDs in the world. 

Q: Are you still American-made? 

The CREE LED itself is American-made. 

I think the wafer is 

fabricated in North Carolina , but 

due to the cost and how things 

work these days, they have to be 

assembled offshore. We would 

like to have them assembled here 

in Seattle, but we can’t afford it. 

If we did that, the price would be 

cost prohibitive. In an ideal world, 

it would all be made in America. 

Now the marketplace is flooded 

with cheap LEDs. 

Yeah, you can get a strip of LEDs for 

very cheap. 

Yes, we are concentrated on 

producing high-quality products 

for boaters. We cannot compete 

[on price] with the rest of the 

LED world. The retail price is 

lower than our cost! 

Q: What is the big difference of LEDs 

on land vs. what you do on the water? 

We are very experienced in 

providing quality solutions to 

boaters. For example, the conformal 

coating on the circuitry 

takes factors like moisture in the 

environment into account. They 

are built to be water-resistant. We 

supply to the Air Force, Navy, 

and Coast Guard requirements, 

tailored to their needs. 

Q: If someone were to get Dr. LED 

products, they’d get the same kind of thing 

that the mariners of the Coast Guard and 

Navy use? 

Yes, they are the same products. 

For example, we just came up with 

a 120-Volt three-nautical-mile 

anchor bulb for navigation light. 

Again, that is used by the Coast 

Guard. 

Q: So not all LEDs are equal? 

In most cases in life, you get 

what you pay for. If you look at 

the compact fluorescent tubes that 

came out over 20 years ago, at that 

time they were like $40 a piece. 

DR. LED 

Designed in the USA and built with American 

components, Dr. LED products are widely used by 

recreational boaters and commercial mariners as 

well as the Coast Guard, Navy, and Air Force. The 

company was the tip of the spear with regards to 

marine-specific LED lighting in the early 2000s 

and the brand is ubiquitous in the industry. Their 

products are sold at Fisheries Supply, West Marine, 

Paynes Marine, and more. 

They lasted a long time. Now 

you can buy one for 50 cents, but 

it doesn’t last. It’s become a commodity 

and people just want low 

prices. It is kind of mind boggling, 

50 cents for compact florescent 

tube. Each bulb won’t last and 

it is polluting the environment. 

The components put in there are 

treated as disposable. 

The same thing is happening 

to LED and many products. There 

are a lot of cheaper products on 

the market, but they won’t last. But 

they are cheap. But that’s not for 

the boating market. Boaters need 

high quality equipment, but also 

at an affordable price. 

It sounds like you can get away with 

getting a cheap bulb and just putting it 

in, but if you do it correctly, over time, it 

probably is well worth it.

Yes. Ten years ago, we started 

to educate people about LED technology. 

LED is like your car. You 

can drive it at 150 mph and abuse 

the vehicle, but not for too long. At 

the infancy of LED, people were 

surprised if a given bulb didn’t 

make it to 10,000 hours. It’s like 

your car engine, it can make it to 

200,000 miles easy if you operate 

it correctly. That’s why we put in 

the regulation and other features 

to make it last a long time. 

Q: Any last words to the people? 

Consult our guides and see what 

you can do. In many cases, you can 

just change the bulbs. More people 

are converting to LEDs and usually 

get what they pay for. We’re one 

of the first marine LED lighting 

companies and have been doing 

this for a long time.

Tony’s Tackle Box 


Angler’s Choice Charters, tells me he smells the blackmouth all

“Let’s go, Floor!” Yeah baby, I love this job and the smell of fresh 

winter Chinook in the morning. 

Fishing License Fee Increase 

By the way, there has been quite a bit of dialogue recently about 

the WDFW significantly increasing your sport fishing license fee 

during the upcoming legislative session. While the agency is struggling 

to keep pace with the costs and demands of maintaining its 

legislative mandated responsibilities, they have your wallets in sight 

for a large proposed fee increase. 

Sport fishing license fees currently produce more revenue for 

WDFW than any other activity, yet we anglers are hit whacked too 

often in terms of fishing opportunities. 

Organized sport fishing groups such as the Northwest Marine 

Trade Association, Fish Northwest, Coastal Conservation Association, 

Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association, and Puget Sound 

Anglers are actively involved in discussions with the Department 

on this proposed action. From the industry’s viewpoint, a license 

fee increase is not acceptable without meaningful changes in fishing 

opportunities. Stay tuned. 

As the full blown kickoff to winter blackmouth fishing in most 

areas is now underway and the holidays are fast approaching, I’m 

encouraging you to get outside and whack a few winter Chinook. 

After all, it’s my Christmas present to you, a little pinch of December’s 

melt-in-your mouth hatchery-produced Chinook salmon between 

your cheek and gum. “Hey, Derek Floyd! I’m ready and giddy-up!” 

See you on the water.

“ You sure about that stitching? 

I’d show you how it’s done... 

just... you know... no thumbs.” 

For this iteration of Pets on Boats we 

present to the world Maui, a Portuguese 

water dog owned by Ken Shin. Maui 

enjoys supervising sail repair aboard 

Shin’s racing sailboat Kowloon, as pictured 

here. Portuguese water dogs are not 

only legendary nautical shipmates with 

commerical fishing roots, but they shed 

so little that they are widely considered 

hypoallergenic. The Obama family in the 

White House has two Portuguese water 

dogs named Bo and Sunny. 

The idea behind Pets on Boats is simple: 

Take a cute or funny photo of your pet aboard 

your favorite boat, scribble down a funny photo 

caption, and send it to us with a bio of the pet at 

editorial@nwyachting.com. We collect images 

and captions and our staff selects the 

best submission. Each monthly winners 

will have the honor of seeing their pet photo 

and caption run in an upcoming issue of the 

magazine, and we will also set them up with 

a Northwest Yachting care package. 

We’re looking for the best combination of 

image and words, so grab your favorite fourlegged 

(or winged) crewmember, cast off the 

docking lines, and get creative with your 

camera and notepad. We also need high quality 

images for our large print publication, so please 

keep image resolution to above 300 dpi.

Nomar ® Bumpers are a softmounted 

bumper which absorbs 

impact and allows you to slide in 

and out of your slip with NO 

FRICTION, DRAG OR MARRING 

of your hull. This makes for a safer 

& less stressful docking experience 

by allowing everyone to stay on 

board. Nomar ® Bumpers eliminate 

the need for fenders & are perfect 

for tight docking situations and 

narrow slips. They also allow the 

vessel closer to the dock for easier 

and safer boarding. 

For more information, visit our 

website, or call for a FREE price quote.
