irst off, I would like to thank all the
members who have stepped up to
volunteer their services for another year
of duties, as well as some of the newer
members who have done the same.
Our next event is the District 28 Spring Council & Conference, to be held in San Diego. I would love to see a big
showing of our members there. Not only do we have a
lot of members from our squadron being nominated for
positions on the District 28 Bridge, but we also need
volunteers for other functions for the District. By volunteering, you will be helping to promote the success of our
squadron, as well as other squadrons in our district. If you
have never been to a District meeting, this is a perfect
time to go, especially since its right in our own back yard.
New things are happening come join us and be part of it.

LESSONS LEARNED FROM
THE U.S. COAST GUARD
for MARCH
MARK YOUR CALENDARS
The month of March, named after Mars
(not the planet but rather the Roman god of
war), was once the first month of the year,
and looking at our unseasonably high temperatures that makes sense, doesn’t it? The
Anglo-Saxons called it the stormy month.
2016
P/C Randy White and I will teach a SAIL
course again in April and May and we will
address Heavy Weather Sailing as well.
As I am writing this article we are preparing
for a whale-watching bus trip to Scammon's
Lagoon, in Baja, Mexico. I would have liked
to write about Boating Laws in Mexico, but all I could find are
rules about fishing and import/export of your boat, so I assume
that the INTERNATIONAL rules apply. Let me know if you have
any ideas.
For February, we looked at overtaking in INLAND waters, not
powerboat vs. sailboat but any vessel, in a “narrow channel”.
Suppose you are underway on vessel “A” and desire to overtake
vessel “B”. After you sound two short blasts on your whistle,
vessel “B” sounds five short rapid blasts on the whistle. What
should you do? Chris Peavey, our newly elected Admin Officer,
said that the answer should be to slow or stop and expect
radical maneuvers from “B” (D) because Rule 13(a) says that
the over-taking vessel should keep out of the way of the over
taken vessel and Rule 34 (d) says that vessel “B” indicates that
that overtaking on the port side could be dangerous.
Well researched and argued, Chris, but . . . that could stop anyone from overtaking. A different way of looking at this is that
vessel “A” should initiate another signal, one short blast, where
vessel “B” could agree, and “sound the same whistle signal”.
Note that the INLAND Rule says that vessel “B”, in agreement, shall respond with like signal, while in INTERNATIONAL
waters vessel “B” shall respond with one prolonged, one short,
one prolonged and one short blast, in that order.
For our challenge in March let’s take the above situation one
step further. You are still INLAND, but switched to radiotelephone (VHF) and agreed with vessel “B” for you to overtake on
their starboard side. You must:
A)
B)
C)
D)
sound one short blast
sound two short blasts
change course to starboard
none of the above
So in answering my question you have to look it up; tell me
what the INLAND Rule would be for maneuvering. Then tell me
what it says for INTERNATIONAL Rules.

he merged schedule with San
Luis Rey and San Diego Sail &
Power squadrons is now available,
we will report on classes available by
both.
The SLRSPS schedule and registration
is on-line at http://www.usps.org/
localusps/slr under “Take A Class”.
The SDSPS schedule is on-line at http://www.sdsps.org/
Course time and dates may be changed to accommodate
instructors and facilities.
WHAT IS GOING ON NOW?
The tests for the five students in the advanced “Junior Navigation” course which started on September 21 with P/D/C
Adriaan Veldhuisen, SN as instructor, have been returned
from National after grading, and all five students passed.
Congratulations to the new JN grade members Chris Peavey,
Jacques Domercq, Patrick Attardo, Shawn Goit and Kevin
Deal.
The “ABCs of Boating Course” which started January 4 has
11 students in the course with Boyd West, JN, Cdr Shawn
Goit, JN and P/D/C Jan Follestad, SN instructing. We look
forward to seeing many of them in advanced classes soon.
The “Engine Maintenance” course started on Thursday January 7 and continues through March 31. The class is being
taught by Steven Bakalis from San Diego and Boyd West will
have some hands-on lab exercises. The course stresses the
diagnosis of modern systems, while also teaching the basics
of engine layout and operation. Gasoline inboards, outboards, and diesel engines are taught in a way that reinforces the common aspects of how engines work.
San Diego has a “Seamanship” course on Thursdays February 11 - March 31 at 1900 at SWYC. The Seamanship Course
builds boating confidence and competence for safe and fun
on-the-water adventures. It is your introduction to USPS®
advanced education in on-the-water safety. The course
uniquely consists of self-study, in-class sessions and exam
review, and practical dockside and on-the-water demonstrations. Seamanship builds on the basics of recreational
boating presented in the USPS® basic boating course and
provides a foundation of knowledge and skills in boat han-
dling and maneuvering, boat operation, skipper's
responsibilities, and boating techniques that will advance
your boating enjoyment. Passing the Seamanship exam is
a prerequisite for USPS® Coastal Navigation courses.
San Diego also has a “Junior Navigation” course Tuesdays
February 9 - May 3 at 1900 at SWYC. “Junior Navigation”
is the first in a two-part program of study in offshore navigation, using a sextant and the position of the sun to navigate, followed by the “Navigation” course which includes
using the position of the moon, planets and stars. It is
designed as a practical "how to" course.
WHAT IS COMING UP?
A “Partners in Command” Seminar is available at
Oceanside Yacht Club classroom on Saturday March 26
with Lt/C Suzy Cooper, AP as instructor. The seminar is
designed to acquaint the 1st Mate with the basic skills he
or she may need in an emergency. The seminars are open
to the public so invite anyone who could benefit.
An “Emergencies on Board” Seminar will be on Tuesday
April 5 at 1900 with P/C Van Diehl, SN as instructor.
Learn how to adequately prepare for common emergencies and deal with them when they occur. Gain practical
knowledge about accident prevention, running aground,
onboard fires, getting lost, towing, and medical emergencies.
April 7 will be the start of the popular “Sailing” class with
P/C Randy White, SN and P/D/C Adriaan Veldhuisen, SN
as the instructors, continuing through May 26. P/C White
has been adding very interesting real experience lessons
from his years of sailing in the Atlantic, Mediterranean
and Caribbean. The class covers basic sailboat designs
and nomenclature, rigging, safety, and sail processes and
then tackles the physical aspects of sailing forces and
techniques, sail applications, marlinespike, helmsmanship
and handling of more difficult sailing conditions, navigation rules, and an introduction to heavy weather sailing.
Appendices provide an introduction to sailboat racing and
sailing in Canadian waters. The course will include one or
two days of On the Water training, to be scheduled by the
class.
Continued on P. 5

Education Report continued from P. 4
“Seamanship” course will be Tuesdays April 12 - May 10 &
Saturdays April 16 - May 14 with instructor Lt/C Suzy Cooper,
AP.
The Seamanship Course builds boating confidence and competence for safe and fun on-the-water adventures. It is your
introduction to USPS® advanced education in on-the-water
safety. The course uniquely consists of self-study, in-class
sessions and exam review, and practical dockside and on-thewater demonstrations. Seamanship builds on the basics of
recreational boating presented in the USPS® basic boating
course and provides a foundation of knowledge and skills in
boat handling and maneuvering, boat operation, skipper's
responsibilities, and boating techniques that will advance your
boating enjoyment. Passing the Seamanship exam is a prerequisite for USPS® Coastal Navigation courses.
The breadth and depth of material, presented in the
Seamanship course, leaves no time to repeat information
already covered in the basic boating course. Passing the
USPS® basic boating course or equivalent (the Coast Guard
course or an ASA 101 course) is a prerequisite for registration.
The Seamanship course is focused on:








Types of boats and how they behave on the water
Anchoring in various conditions
Docking and line handling
Close quarter maneuvering
Rules of the road
Communication with other boats
How to respond to various emergencies
Marlinespike/basic knots
San Diego will have a “Cruising and Cruise Planning” course at
Southwestern Yacht Club Thursdays April 7 - May 26. The
Cruising and Cruise Planning course focuses on the planning
and preparation necessary for safe enjoyable extended cruises
on both inland and coastal waters.
San Diego will have a “Piloting” course at Southwestern Yacht
Club Tuesdays April 19 - July 19. This is the first course in the
sequence of USPS courses on navigation, covering the basics
of coastal and inland navigation. This course focuses on navigation as it is done on recreational boats today and embraces
GPS as a primary navigation tool while covering enough of
traditional techniques so the student will be able to find his/
her way even if their GPS fails.

Administrative Officer’s
Report
I
t’s hard to believe that we are
already well into the 2016
boating season with the first SD
Boat Show behind us and the first
SLRSPS raft-up only a month
away. If the ideal weather we’ve
experienced in February hasn’t peaked your desire to get out
on the water then perhaps one of our upcoming presentations will do the trick! Join us at the March GMM when Van
Diehl will educate us on the finer aspects of chartering in
the Greek Islands. He will cover pre-cruise planning, charter
types, and provisioning, as well as, regale us with tales of his
recent trip around several of the Greek Islands including the
Cyclades Islands,
and Dodecanese
Islands.
Looking out to the
May GMM, we
have a real treat
in store as we
welcome Brian
and Lisa Ellis who
will “bring us
along for the ride”
as they recount
their Antarctic
expedition on board a French mega-yacht. This once in a
lifetime adventure was not just a cruise but a working expedition which included research on the continent and a close up
view of the area traversed by Sir Ernest Shackleton.
In April, the La Playa / Pier 32 raft-up promises to be a fun
event for all who attend. Did you know that for the happy
hours or the pot luck dinners there are often as many nonboaters taking part as there are members staying the night
aboard their boat? This is particularly true of this first event
as the Pier 32 venue takes place right at the marina (boats
rent slips rather than anchoring in the bay) and hence is easily
accessible by car. So don’t let the lack of a boat keep you
from enjoying the camaraderie of your fellow squadron
members. Once you see how much fun these raft-ups are it
won’t be your last one!
And lastly, the Executive Committee has just completed its
goal setting meeting for 2016 thus ensuring that the squadron has tangible, realistic goals that strengthen the squadron
and align its goals with USPS National.

Article by JON AUSTIN
Published Tuesday March 1, 2016.
Hi, my name is Nancy
Kangas and I am the new
Web Master for our
squadron. I’ve updated
the design of the site and
also tried to clarify when
one would use Sail Angle and when one
would go to the website.
WWW.
Under the Photo/Videos page we now have a Flickr account
with an album associated with each event. Each album will
have a sample of photos and videos in it. If you would like to
see the entire photo montage you can log onto your SailAngle
account.
The man, who appears to have been trying to
make a desperate mayday call, has been identified as German adventurer Manfred Fritz
Bajorat. He was found by two fishermen at
the weekend in the seas off Surigao del Sur
province, about 50 miles off the Philippines.
The grey corpse, which was preserved by dry ocean winds,
hot temperatures and the salty air, was still sat at a desk
near radio equipment, 7 years after he disappeared, on
the 40ft yacht called Sayo, which was found partially submerged.
It is not year clear when he died, but no one has reported
seeing him since 2009.
Two fishermen spotted the drifting "ghost ship" and
climbed on board before finding the body and photo albums, clothes and tins of food strewn all over.
The website Photo/Video page is meant to give the general
public an idea of what the events of our Squadron entail and
to give current members a quick look at the highlights of an
event without having to log on to SailAngle. The same is true
for The Mariner’s Needle (our squadron newsletter) - only 3
months will be available on the web - the previous 12 months
will be on SailAngle.
There are 3 Facebook accounts for the Squadron. We will only
be updating the Facebook Business Page.
The Business Page is the link from the home
page of the website. So please Like our page
to stay updated with Squadron events and
activities, if you have not already done so.
The Profile Page and the Group Page will no
longer be updated. Feel free to post your sailing adventures
on the site.
There is also a Twitter account that has a link on the homepage of the website. If anyone is into Twitter
and would like to take it over, please contact
me or Shawn for login info - in the meantime
I will be posting to the Twitter account a
couple of times a week.
Paperwork on board identified him, but the cause of
death is unknown.
The mast of the boat was broken, but it is not clear if this
happened before or after his death.
One theory is he could have suffered a heart attack.
A year before what appears to have been his last voyage,
in 2008, he broke up with his wife who used to venture
with him.
However, she has since died of cancer so can shed no
more light on his movements.

CHOCOLATE
POTS DE CRÈME
Pots de Crème are a luxurious French custard that are
traditionally served in pot shaped dishes and are seriously
one of the most amazing desserts.
Easy, fast and perfect for a special evening with the one you
love. It whips together in minutes and can chill out in the
fridge until you are ready to serve and impress your guests.
This is a no bake version and can be made on the boat!
Ingredients:
 7oz high quality dark chocolate
 1½ cup heavy cream
 1 cup whole milk
 4 egg yokes, whisked
 4 tablespoons sugar
 ⅛ teaspoon salt
 1 teaspoon vanilla
 whipped cream for garnish
Instructions:
In a blender, chop up the chocolate.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, milk, sugar, salt,
vanilla and egg yokes. Stir constantly over medium heat until
the custard starts to bubble thicken slightly and coats the
back of a wooden spoon.
Pour the hot custard mixture into the blender and blend until
combined.
Pour into ramekins or other desired serving cups and refrigerate for at least two hours to set.
Serve with whipped cream and
shaved chocolate.
Prep Time: 5 Minutes

This is the dirty tale of remnants left by the coastal storm
which hit Oceanside the weekend of January 29, 2016. The
National Weather Service said “winds gusted up to 74 mph
at Volcan Mountain near Julian and 61 mph at Mount Laguna.
The San Diego Union Tribune reported: “There were gusts
recorded at 52 mph in Anza Borrego, 49 mph in Point Loma
and more than 40 mph at Del Mar and Torrey
Pines," [citation: www.sandiegouniontribune.com/
news/2016/jan/31/wind-rain-weekend].
My sailboat, S/V Oasis, is on the harbor side nearest the
beach, and this storm picked up tremendous amounts of sand
in dry gusts. Venturing outside without eye protection during
these storms is asking for fast moving projectile sand hitting
the eyes. Aboard Oasis, this sandstorm sounded like we were
being pelted by gravel. Sailboats are built for life in high
winds so weathering such storms are not a concern if basic
preparations are followed. A sandstorm, though, is a rare
phenomenon for boats made for a life at sea.
As seen, the sand after the storm required some cleaning up.
A vacuum cleaner works for sand in some situations but
Southern California sand is heavy and gritty
thus difficult to pick up or sweep away. My slip
neighbor is the only boater I've known who will
wash down his boat just before it starts raining. He loves his excessively noisy power washer which also tends to spray his neighbors unnecessarily. I take a friendlier approach to
cleaning. The result of this storm meant breaking out the water hose for a spray down.
Cockpit and
Here's a tip: before washing down your boat,
look towards neighboring boats to see if their
hatches are closed; otherwise, you might be
spraying into their galley, directly onto their
freshly made oatmeal breakfast.

of Oasis,

sand.
Washing down boats with fresh water is a controversial topic.
For my wash-downs I use a water conservation sprayer
attachment provided by our own SLRSPS's Suzy Cooper during
a Safe Boating event, for water conservation.
If a boat has a salt-water washdown
pump, that is a good option for the
majority of the deck washing and then
use the fresh water hose for a final
rinse. At a minimum, use a sprayer on
the end of the hose, instead of your
thumb.
Continued on P. 9
Invest in a quality spray
hose attachment.
Preferably use a low-flow
attachment.

After a Sand Storm in Oceanside Harbor continued from P. 8
Inexpensive dollar-store sprayers are not worth buying as
they do not spray well and often only last a few uses before
breaking. It is better to invest in a higher quality, higher
pressure sprayer attachment. I suggest finding a sprayer
without the small plastic adjustment nut which controls the
trigger of the sprayer, as those nuts always loosen and fly
off into the ocean. I've attached a brass fitting between the
sprayer and the hose which avoids stripping the threads.
Quick tip: take off your socks before doing a spray down,
as it's guaranteed, regardless of precaution, that your feet
will get wet and wet socks aboard a boat are a bummer.
The fender is rubbing against the hull and the storm of this
weekend in particular
caused excessive rubbing
down into the gel coat of
the fiberglass. This will be
time consuming to repair.

over a single weekend.
After a storm and especially while washing a boat it is great
to do a little inspection. Check dock lines for chafe at the
dock cleat and near the boat hull. Adjust the length of the
dock lines as the high winds may have pulled slack out of
the lines.
Here's a tip: helpful new crew, after sailing voyages, are
often eager to help lash a skipper's boat to the dock; wait
until after they've happily left the dock, and then return to
check that dock lines are secured in a proper cleat hitch.
Later on, suggest that SLRSPS's boating courses are an
excellent way to learn the basics of boat use and safety, as
well as the fun, sailorly ways of handling lines.
WELCOME!
JUDI FLEMING
These seem like simple suggestions, however, one of my
neighboring powerboat owners fails to do these checks and
his swim step continually chafes against the wood of the
dock; this causes damage to the dock and damage to his
swim step. Small bumps over days and weeks add up to
significant wear. High gusting winds of these rare storms in
our otherwise mild Southern California weather seasons
also cause damage to dodgers. This damage can often be
prevented by investing in a large handful of inexpensive
bungies to ensure all corners of tarps or Sunbrella have light
tension. Sunbrella does not respond well to chafe and
wears quickly. Once a worn spot develops into a tear, the
wind gusts quickly escalate the damage into large repairs.
Plus, flapping tarps and dodgers make a tremendous racket
during storms which is not friendly to live-aboard neighbors.
Please remember to take down the American Flag before
a storm, to respect the symbol of our freedom. A weather
shredded flag is also a bummer.
