2 The Mariner - Issue 140 2014
For whatever reason Ive had a few interactions this past month with some politically active people in
the community. Its weird I dont get the impression they think Im as cool as I think I am. This one
particular gentleman basically came right out and said that he believes myself and my colleagues over at
the Argonaut newspaper have something of an agenda that involves protecting and promoting the actions
of the County.
I get it Pat, everyone has a master, he spoke confdently.
I asked him what he meant and he muttered something about advertisers and the county. I sensed he didnt
want to say the things he truly felt, but I wanted him to know that to write about the stuff that goes on in
these parts involves relating to or attempting to understand the point of views of the many factions that
exist in and around Marina del Rey, and sometimes beyond.
In a way, I envy him for the liberty he withholds. He can spew vitriol, make accusations and feel the
sweet comfort of victimization as he aggressively fghts his battles. He has a cause, an agenda, a purpose
to devise strategies and wage attacks. I, on the other hand, spend my thoughts imagining what everyone I
meet is going through and wondering what their truth is. I want to understand what they are motivated by
and why they would say or do what they say or do.
After hanging up the phone I realized how amazing it is that everyone has their role and we all feed each
other in this complicated social weave. Like the ocean itself its all just one thing building and effecting
another, creating a big other thing

Don Knabe Stops By Marina del Rey Historical Society Gallery
Supervisor Don Knabe stopped
by the Marina del Rey Historical
Society gallery at Fishermans
Village in Marina del Rey this past
month to congratulate members of
the Society on their new book on the
history of the area.
The seasoned politician shook
hands, posed for pictures and
wandered around the gallery
legitimately fascinated by all of the
artifacts and pictures that fll the
small space.
One particular wall caught his
interest as there was a photograph of
a young politician who looked quite
a bit like Knabe himself, only a bit
thinner, younger and with enormous
glasses.
Knabe laughed - posed next to the
photo, shook everyones hand and
moved on to his next appearance.

Boater Operation Certifcation is the Law!

Email - dennisdetail7@aol.com
310- 466- 8267
Governor Jerry Brown has signed into
law Recreational Boaters of California-
supported SB 941 [Monning and DeSaulnier]
to phase-in a boat operator certifcation
requirement in California.
SB 941 requires that boat operators pass a
boating education examination and obtain
a vessel operator card issued by the state
Division of Boating and Waterways [DBW]
in order to operate a boat in California that is
propelled by an engine. This legislation will
enhance safety on the states waterways.
SB 941 is modeled on legislation RBOC sponsored previously. This new
measure requires DBW to issue a vessel operator card to individuals who
have passed an approved examination.
The requirement to obtain a vessel operator card would apply initially to
operators 20 years of age or younger with a phased-in implementation
date depending on the age of the individual.
The seven-year phase-in would begin in 2018 and would eventually apply
to everyone as of 2025.
Importantly, online education including the
free BoatUS Foundation course will be an
option. The BoatUS Foundation course is
available at:http://www.boatus.org/courses/
Boaters are subject to the certifcation
requirement according to the following
schedule:
On and after January 1, 2018: A person 20
years of age or younger.
On and after January 1, 2019: A person 25
years of age or younger.
On and after January 1, 2020: A person 35 years of age or younger.
On and after January 1, 2025: All persons, regardless of age.

In addition, the fees to be established by DBW for certifcates will be
at levels suffcient to cover the reasonable costs of the development,
establishment, and operation of the program. SB 941 will prohibit the fees
from exceeding those costs.

ere in beautiful Southern California its nice to sometimes just weigh anchor and chill out in the summer sun. Its especially sweet when your
boat is 394-feet. For some reason, when a boat nears 400-feet long, it just seems more comfortable, less bouncy.
Anchoring is the only option for the mega-yacht A that was parked between the Venice Pier and the Marina del Rey breakwall this past
month since the harbor simply isnt large enough to accommodate the 19th largest yacht in the world. But dont feel bad for Russian billionaire
Andrey Melnichenko and his former model wife, it seems they are making due with whats available on the boat. And theyre fortunate enough to have
37-people on hand to make beer runs if rations run low.
Snarky jealous comments about rich people aside, the boat is something of a wonder. Designed by Philippe Starck and Martin Francis, at a cost of
somewhere around $300 million, this stylized battleship is powered by twin 12,000 HP diesels and apparently casts a meager wake at its top speed of
24-knots. A can travel for 16-days the 200,000 gallons of fuel is burned. Lets seesome quick math hereat $3.50 a gallon, it would cost, oh about
$700,000 to fller up. But when youre into cruising, sometimes you have to splurge a little.
Truth be told, the Melnichenkos are okay with the splurging concept. The boat boasts such extravagances as a $60,000 banister rail, three pools (one of
them with a see-through foor), helipad, and a guest room with walls covered in white stingray hides. The boat reportedly has six guest suites that have
collapsable walls that enable transformation to four larger staterooms if need be.
Security is well appointed in this mansion on the sea bombproof glass, security cameras galore, motion sensorsthe works, so if local pirating is
whats peaked your interest lately, its probably best to start smaller.
We all know that a good dinghy is of vital importance when forced to anchor and A has a nice little launch that is a one-off and designed specifcally
for the mother-ship. Its speculated to cost around a million dollars, which when put in perspective is only a little more than a full tank of gas, so its
not too bad.
Sure, this boat is no Azzam, the largest megayacht in the world a 590-foot behemoth commissioned by the President of the United Arab Emirates, but
it seems to cover the Melnichenkos basic needs and isnt that what boat ownership is really all about?

dont want to erode anyones closely held beliefs, but some of the stories you hear about life around boats are more almost true than mostly true.
I can swear the following story almost took place in the recent past.
Debby and I were running the Del Rey Yacht Club Sundown Series (Friday night summer races) and were having a great time with the evenings
inexpensive barbecue, comic door prizes, and lots of racers enjoying lots of trophies.
Some DRYC committee or authority, motivated by the thought of making the event even more fun, enacted the policy of serving unlimited beer and
wine for a single ticket price. The premiere of this policy was quite popular, as you might guess, but when some of the racers had obviously been over-
served a few of us became concerned.
Judy, a teatotaler herself, was worried about the County Sheriff Deputy lurking on the underground parking ramp opposite the gate just outside the yacht
club hoping to nail a D.U.I. or two. She put on her wobbly boot (Australian term for a drunken stagger) and stumbled up to her car in clear view of
the deputy.
After fumbling and dropping her keys twice, she got into the car and turned on the lights and then the windshield wipers. With the washer sprayers
squirting joyfully, she actuated the turn signals frst left, then right, and returning to left as the engine started.
Judy drove out the gate followed closely by the sheriffs cruiser whos red lights started fashing, and with a little squeak of his siren he signaled Judy
to pull over. She obediently poured out of her car clutching her license and registration, and then followed directions to close her eyes and lean back
before touching her nose with one fnger.
Surprised by her good coordination, the deputy had her walk a line toe to heel and then asked a few questions while the parking lot emptied behind him.
He pulled out the breathalyzer and held it while Judy gave it a righteous blow. To the deputys total astonishment, it registered zero point zero.
Whats the deal? The deputy asked. You looked totally toasted.
No worries, mate. Judy said. Im the designated decoy.

ocked at Marina del Rey Landing (A.K.A. the Fuel Dock) is
an old-school 73-foot steel trawler with cami paint and a skull
and crossbones fag proudly fying from the fagpole. Hanging
from the side is a banner that reads Sharkboat.org in big black
letters.
The weathered stoic looking boat is owned by marine biologist Captain
Chris Wade who is preparing to soon leave the safe haven of Marina del
Rey and make for the waters of Costa Rica, specifcally the Cocos Islands,
to embark upon an adventure of signifcant proportion. Wade and his crew
are in the business of protecting sharks and more broadly, fsheries from
unlawful and unethical fshing practices by unscrupulous commercial
fshermen. In the past, they have engaged in confrontations not unlike
those seen on the reality show Whale Wars and are currently ramping up
for an open-ended mission that is sure to be high in drama and adventure.
Wade is clearly up for the task. He speaks passionately and vehemently
about the damage this opposition is incurring locally and globally.
What are we going to do to make sure that we have sustainable stocks for
future generations? Wade said. That we can continue to have a healthy
ecosystem no matter where it be. If we dont have the big fsh that are
coming in from places that still enjoy bio-productivity, where are we
going to get any of our fsh?
Wade explains that Southern California was once both bio-productive and
bio-diverse but now only bio-diverse. He says if you move southward
on a map, bio-productivity has been compromised through irresponsible
commercial fshing practices and other chemical related intrusions brought
on by industrial byproduct. The Cocos Islands is a place where big fsh
still swim and breed in abundance, therefore a perfect place to protect.
Although the swath of real estate he aims to guard is enormous, Wade
believes his presence will make a difference. He has a game plan and no
fear of confrontation. The undertaking has been completely sanctioned by
the Cost Rican Government, although they are not paying Wade for the
service. But clearly, the idealistic skipper is taking this on for more noble
pursuits
I lot of these guys that are breaking the law or working on the outskirts
of the boundaries are similar to me, Wade said. If you look at their boats
and my boat youre not going to see a huge amount of difference. Were
all fghting to just survive theyre doing what they need to keep their
lifeblood, family and their thing going, but if were not able to follow the
rules that have been put in place for [purposes of conservation] then were
breaking the law and at that point why not just go sell drugs?
The Costa Rican government employs the concept of Marine Protected
Areas that many are subscribing to these days. The idea is that large
designated regions are deemed no-fsh-zones and become safe habitats
that help struggling species bounce back. Although they have specifc
rules and regulations relating to the MPAs, they have been inept in terms
of enforcement.
We are there to guard and protect the treasure, said Wade. Were
looking to turn a game of checkers into a game of chess.
Although Wade and his team wont have the power to actually arrest
lawbreakers, they will be allowed to board vessels and document/build
cases against them so they will in turn possibly lose their permits and
upset their ability to make a living.
At some point I sit back and say, Im mad as hell and Im not going
to take it anymore. If you cant make your money fshing where youre
supposed to fsh fnd another gig.

eah, I know...Im a year late reviewing
this movie; but after seeing the dull
trailers I just couldnt loosen my death
grip on the $15 bucks for admission.
It came out on cable last week and my
back was hurting, so I was on the couch anyway.
The movie and Redfords acting garnered rave
reviews. So how bad could it be? Well, from a
seamanship anglereally bad.
This was not some low budget, flm student
project, but rather a major studio production,
with a big star and a corresponding budget [$8.5
million]. Im sure they paid for top notch tech
support, but I suppose the script must have tied
their hands because within the frst fve minutes
I was yelling at the screen, Nobody is this
freakin stupid! Except I didnt say freakin...
hey, Im a sailor.
After a brief prologue there are no words spoken
in the flm. I found this totally unrealistic. If I
were in Redfords spot I would have been
spewing F-bombs and muttering to myself from
the opening scene to the ending credits - the
only time I would have stopped is when I was
asleep or underwater.
So, heres the set up. Single-handing geezer-
sailor, sailing an 80ish Cal 39 across the Indian
Ocean. Why anyone would attempt to sail a Cal
39 on such a voyage is never addressed - but
lets just say that anything approaching the ideal
boat for such a voyage was not chosen.
In the opening scene we fnd the silent sailor
(hereafter referred to as SS) asleep in the
forepeak. Right away, Im thinkin, why would
you sleep in the V-berth? Most guys on a single
handed, offshore voyage would sleep in the
main cabin; you want to be able to get up and
stick your head out of the hatch once in a while,
get a drink, check instruments, use the head or
grab a handful of cookies - all thats tough to do
jammed into a V-berth. A V-berth is only good
for storing stuff - and it aint much good for that.
Anyway, SS wakes up to the sound of gushing
water pouring through a large hole above the
chart table. At this point, there is only about an
inch of water above the cabin sole and the water
is sloshing in slowly. SS quickly examines the
hole and fnds the corner of a giant shipping
container protruding into the boat. Somehow,
I think that the sound of that steel monster
hitting my boat would have awakened me, but
SS slept through the collision and subsequent
grinding-crunching noises. Apparently, he had
also forgotten to equip his boat with at least two
BIG electric bilge pumps and a bilge alarm; or a
radar with an alarm.
Almost leisurely, SS goes on deck and sees
the ocean is dead calm. He fetches a boat hook
out of a cockpit locker and tries to pry out the
container weighing several tons. Obviously he
is unsuccessful. Instead of going below and
pushing the boat off the container with the boat
hook, easily done in calm seas, he decides to
dig out a massive sea-anchor and go aboard the
container to deploy it - all the while sea water
continues to gush through the hole in the hull.
After some minutes pass, the sea anchor
magically pulls the 20-ton container from the
boat. SS then begins to sail the boat on port
tack; the trouble is, the hole is on the starboard
side - so now the hole is underwater and the
sea is literally fooding in. I think even a non
sailor would have fgured to A) jam something
like a seat cushion in the gaping hole or B) sail
on starboard tack so that the hole is out of the
water. Perhaps both A and B.
SS wants to retrieve his sea anchor from the
container and so sails back to the container; but
instead of properly sailing up to the container
and luffng up alongside, as you would when
docking, he decides to crash the bow of the boat
into the container - like a Japanese kamikaze
at Okinawa - somehow SS avoids making yet
another hole in the boat.
By this time, all of his electronics are soaked, the
batteries are submerged and his engine is full of
salt water. Remember, he could have avoided all
this by simply shoving the boat off the container
and jamming a large cushion into the hole and
keeping the boat on starboard tack until he could
pump it out and make proper repairs.
SS then sets about trying to repair the hole with
one layer of fberglass mat and West Systems
epoxy. Now, I dont know a sailor who would
go offshore without a battery powered drill and
a giant tool kit; and that sailor would remove
the cockpit table, take out 8, 2 inch self tapping
screws and screw the teak table to the outside
of the hull and bed the whole thing in Sikafex.
Now youve got a good solid repair - instead of
one layer of mat stuck to the wet, fexing hull
with a smear of epoxy.
Our silent sailor then fddles around with his wet
and ruined electronic equipment. Whoa! You
mean he didnt have a waterproof handheld or
an EPIRB? Nope, not this salty sea dog. Then,
for some reason (scriptwriters thought it would
be exciting), SS self-hauls himself up the mast

All is Lost...
But it Didnt Have To Be
By Captain Richard Schaefer
continued on page 19
Y
Captain Schaefer details the reality behind the sailing flm All is Lost
So I think with everything said
and done, this fshing season
will go down as one of the best
in years. And as long as the
hurricanes to the south of us
keep pushing warm water and
hence, the pelagic fsh up our
way, it will extend the season
thats a good thing!
The bite in the bay has slowed
down and a lot of fresh kelp
patties are not holding anything,
but the surrounding Islands
and spots down south are still
hammering limits.
Hard to believe the lobster
opener is upon us already come
Sept. 27. The regulations are still
pretty much the same fve traps
and seven lobster per person
and you must have your lobster
card and fshing license. There
are a few new closed areas but
look on the Department of Fish
and Wildlife website for the new
regulations.
Until then its Marlin Swanson
time!
Until next time..tight

For years multihull expert Mike Leneman from
Multimarine has been holding the annual Indian
Summer Splash in September for what he calls
the multihull tribe.
Technically its a race, but its more about
sailing over to the backside of Catalina Island
and hanging out with other members of the
so-called dark side. This year some boats
started in Long Beach and others right off the
breakwater of Marina del Rey.
The racers, mostly trimarans, couldnt have
asked for a more pleasant day. Although winds
were light at the start, the sea was fat and the
air and water temperature was perfect. One of
the crewmembers appeared to be a husky and he
wasnt even panting.
While sometimes organizer Mike Leneman is
both the committee boat and racer, this time,
Leneman opted to man his self-built catamaran
Minett as simply the committee boat. The grass
roots race continues to thrive year after year.

L O C A L C u r r e n t S
to check out the VHF antenna. Why he would
check out the VHF antenna when the radio is
ruined isnt clear - nor is the reason he thinks
that there is problem at the top of the mast in the
frst place - but it does make for a good camera
angle.
When SS gets to the masthead he fnds broken
connectors, frayed coax and bent, corroded
equipment. Maybe he should have had that
checked before he sailed into the middle of the
Indian Ocean...just a thought.
It soon becomes apparent that not only is the
boat in an alarming state of disrepair, but that it is
not equipped for offshore sailing. There is, what
looks to be, a broken dinghy oar acting as a self
steering vane, no water-maker, no solar panels,
no portable generator, no wind generator, not
even a manual bilge pump handle, or portable
bilge-pump! SS has to fashion a pump handle
out of a stick!
SS then spends hours lying in the cockpit
working the handle of the smallest Whale
Mini-Gusher you can buy, attempting to pump
hundreds of gallons of water from the boat. I
note he did have a fve-gallon bucket and could
have bailed from the cabin into the self-draining
cockpit and completed the job of removing the
water in about one tenth of the time, with a tenth
of the effort.
Also, I noticed that SS doesnt do much sailing...
there is about 45 seconds of sailing in the entire
flm; mostly the boat just wallows around,
with sails either on the deck or luffng, and the
running rigging in general disarray.
Soon after all this, a storm begins to gather on
the horizon and instead of preparing for the
storm SS decides the time is right to clean up
and have a shave. The storm hits - waves wash
over the boat - about then, SS fgures its the
opportune moment to drag the storm-jib to the
foredeck.
The boat is hit by a couple of monster waves and
SS is swept over the side while wrestling with
the storm jib. After much submerged struggling,
SS manages to regain the deck. Why he didnt
simply partially furl the headsail from the safety
of the cockpit or run under bare poles remains
a mystery.
Soon after the frst storm passes, a second storm
hits and SS forgets to put the hatch-boards in
and the boat is rolled and dismasted and flls
full of water. Not only were the hatch-boards
left out, but the mast punches a hole in the deck.
SS is then thrown against the mast in the main
cabin and knocked unconscious.
When he awakens, he sees the hole punched by
the mast - about 18 inches long and 6 inches wide
- easily plugged with a cushion or sleeping bag
- then the boat could have been emptied again
with the trusty 5 gallon bucket; but instead, SS
decides the time has come to abandon ship. An
old blue-water buddy of mine once told me,
Never step into a life-raft until youre stepping
uphill. I think thats pretty good advice...unless
the boat is mostly consumed in fames - then
you may want to think on it a bit more.
Anyway, SS infates the life raft and abandons
the doomed vessel. After he enters the life raft,
which is still tethered to the sinking vessel,
he falls asleep. Fortunately, our sleepy sailor
awakens before the boat goes down, pulling him
and the raft to the bottom.
SS decides to go back aboard the sailboat to
pick up a few more things. While on board, he
remembers the nasty crack on the head he took
earlier and goes to the head and checks it out
in the mirror. Its a bloody gash, over an inch
long, caked in salt and blood. He reaches into
a fooded drawer and pulls out a super-duper
magic, wet butterfy bandage, which sticks
to blood, wet hair, sweat and saltwater tighter
than a platypus can clamp his spurred legs to a
hound-dogs muzzle.
He makes one last check for any items worth
salvaging, and then steps into the raft - leaving
a large horseshoe ring and several lifejackets to
go down with the ship.
Once back aboard the sloshing raft, SS takes
inventory. It seems that there is only one 2 watt
LED fashlight, an insuffcient number of fares
(heck - I dont go to Catalina with out a dozen
fares and six fashlights) no air horn, a cheap
plastic air pump and no portable, hand-powered
water-maker. But there is a sextant, which SS
teaches himself to use as he drifts toward the
shipping lanes. He takes noon sights and marks
his progress toward the hoped-for rescue in the
shipping lanes on his waterproof chart.
The raft is constantly battered by the sea and
SS is always wet. Perhaps fortunately, the script
doesnt address crotch rot - but SS must have
had a near terminal case by this time.
SS soon fnds that his fve-gallon Jerryjug of
freshwater has been contaminated by saltwater
and he sets about to build a rudimentary - but
believable - evaporative water-maker, even
though it produces only about 4 ounces a day, it
keeps him going.
Finally, SS arrives in the shipping lanes, and it
isnt long before a ship approaches quite near...
less than a mile. However, instead of igniting
an orange smoke fare as is appropriate during
daylight, SS ignites a common night fare,
which is next to useless in bright sunlight. The
container ship - not noticing the feeble fame -
passes by.
Soon after, another ship goes by at night. This
ship passes less that 50-yards away, but for
some reason SS doesnt fre his rockets until the
ship has passed. Yet again, rescue slips away.
At this point I wondered what kind of raft
wouldnt have a radar refector or signal mirror
among its supplies. I know that if I were single
handing, across the Indian Ocean I also would
have equipped the raft with a secondary EPIRB
as well as a second waterproof VHF, with lots of
extra batteries and a portable bilge pump.
With strength and hope waning he continues to
drift into the middle of the Indian Ocean. Soon
the sharks come...
Oh...you want to know how this ends? Go rent
the movie.

Listen to Your Diesel
Q: What should one listen for to determine
the over-all health of a diesel?
A: How quick does the engine start? What
kind of smoke comes out the back end? Is
there carbon in the water when it starts? What
does it sound like? Does it sound rough? All
diesels make noise and if someone doesnt
know what they sound like they should go
out and listen to a few other ones before they
go and fnd one for themselves.
Q: Why do different diesels have different
sounds?
A: Well, if its not running right then its
going to knock and vibrate much more then
one thats running correctly. Then there
is the issue of old technology verses new
technology. A lot of the older diesels dont
turn up too high in RPMs, so at low speeds
theres a lot of metal thats being thrown
around on the inside of the engine and it
will therefore vibrate more than the newer
ones. The newer engines can operate at the
same horsepower, but with smaller pistons,
connecting rods and crankshaft there is
simply less metal being thrown around
which, in turn makes the engine quieter and
smoother.
