Wow! Another month of good weather and great boating. I’m sad I
missed the Tod Inlet Cruise and its Happy Hour Flotilla. What a great
local spot—I’m hoping it’s a destination again next year.
Cruising up beautiful Sansum Narrows to Ladysmith was the perfect
beginning to the Sound of Music Cruise. The potluck dinner, band,
dancing and brunch — it’s a VCC classic. To everyone who contributed
time and energy to make it all happen — thank you! KK Editor

long. This will effectively destroy the anchorage
and severely impact the marina. It has to be
approved by the federal Navigation Protection
Branch, but the Regional District has asked for
approval to be withheld until they approve the
required rezoning. The members of the Regional
District Council seem unlikely to give that
approval.
Crew Reports

Council of BC Yacht Clubs Jack Parry (as submitted via e-mail)
I was unable to attend the April 23rd meeting held
in Nanaimo but can pass on the following from
the meeting minutes:

The guest speaker was Darren Williams, a lawyer
who specializes in marine law. He commented on
bylaws such as Victoria has adopted for dealing
with areas such as the Gorge Waterway and the
vessels there. He indicated that case law has
changed over the last several years with the
recognition that, although navigation is under
federal jurisdiction, other agencies and governments can have control over the use of waterways. An example he used was that, while they
cannot ban anchoring, cities or municipalities can
adopt bylaws that limit the number of days a
vessel can be anchored in one location.

The B.C. Marine Parks Forever Society is still
working on the installation of stern tie anchors in
a number of areas.

BCMPFS has received a formal response from
BC Parks indicating their support for a Marine
Portal for Burgoyne Bay Park to include docks,
mooring buoys, and some form of onshore
facilities. As there is a significant First Nations
interest in this area this project will take
considerable time to evolve.


A new BCMPFS brochure is available and I have
copies this evening for everyone. Please take a
few extra and leave them at your marina office or
bulletin board.

For those going north, it was noted that Shawl
Bay has been sold, as has the Squirrel Cove
General Store.

Port Harvey: this is an excellent anchorage just
off Johnstone Strait, with a small marina. It is the
first safe harbour after transiting 30 miles of
Johnstone Strait. About 15 years ago an
individual started to maintain barges and landing
craft on his land in the bay without any water
lease. He has now applied for a water lease to
expand his facilities and build a “barge dewatering site”, including a dry-dock and a marine
3
At a joint COBCYC and RBAW (Recreational
Boating Association of Washington) meeting
there was discussion on the No Discharge Zone in
Puget Sound. The Washington State Department
of Ecology wants to establish a no-discharge zone
for ALL of Puget Sound and the San Juans. (It is
already illegal to discharge RAW sewage in these
areas) If this is approved, on board sewage
treatment (such as LectraSan) would no longer be
permitted. The Department wants the legal
authority for any State-established jurisdiction to
board your vessel to inspect the overboard discharge valve and any treatment system (rather
than current Federal = USCG level only).

Concern for Declining Membership
Janice Large shared a funny joke.
Gerry Wolfe indicated that we are at 34 members and
that we lost 15 members in 2015. Of those that left,
most had joined the year before. He said that people
leave for all sorts of reasons and that most of the ones
that had recently left had other commitments.

Meeting Adjourned at 9:25 p.m.
Gerry said that he would like to see a few more members—something to keep the club sustainable. He
indicated that the Bridge will be working on a “plan
of action” and asked members for input.
Minutes were recorded and submitted
by Secretary Karen Brown
Discussion followed raising a number of points and
questions:
 Some members felt the current number of members was adequate for a small club.
 Should we allow sail boats?
 Should we change (enlarge) our boundaries?
 Target a younger age group?
 Have more “advertising” (i.e. Seaside Magazine –
Jack Parry to look into this)?
 “Market” the club via the local power squadrons,
marinas and boat shows?

Club & Cruise News
A key partner for Coast Guard is the Canadian Coast
Guard Auxiliary, now called the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCM-SAR http://ccgapacific.org/). The Pacific Region CCGA provides a
volunteer marine rescue service and promotes public
boating safety on the lakes, the inland straits and waters, and the coast of BC. It operates 40 marine rescue
units on the coast and two in the B.C. Interior. It receives over $1.3 million annually from the federal
government which supports training plus search and
rescue.
Coast Guard SAR Presentation
Geoffrey Denman is a Search and Rescue Program
Officer with the Canadian Coast Guard’s Western
Region. At our May meeting he discussed maritime
search and rescue (SAR) program using a power
point presentation and answered many questions
raised by members.
SAR searches for people and vessels and provides
assistance if they are, or are believed to be, in imminent danger. They do this by co-ordinating maritime
SAR missions, providing vessels to respond to incidents and providing communications.
Other partners for maritime incidents are the US
Coast Guard, Parks Canada, Customs Canada, Ambulance Service and Emergency Management BC as
well as local fire and police departments. The importance of coordination and communications is becoming clearer.
Question – What are the number of Coast Guard
boast and the number of Coast Guard Auxiliary
Boats?
Answer – In the Western Region there are 44 Coast
Guard Auxiliary Boats, 12 Coast Guard Motor Lifeboats (US Coast Guard design), and two dedicated
large ships. There are other boats, including 12 science vessels, which also participate in search and rescue.
Question – What is the impact of the Comox Coast
Guard closure?
The key objective is to save lives. They also act to
minimize injury, property damage and risk to environment. To accomplish this they support and utilize
the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary, engage in activities to reduce the number and severity of incidents,
and provide humanitarian assistance.
Answer – While the Comox communications centre
is closed, there is still a Comox Coast Guard
Auxiliary Station.
The communications function on the coast is now
being provided by two “super centres” in Victoria (at
Pat Bay) and Prince Rupert, called Marine Communications and Traffic Services Centres (MTCS). They
provide distress and safety call monitoring and coordinate responses, broadcast maritime safety information (weather and navigational warnings), screen
vessels entering Canadian waters, deliver information
and advice to regulate marine traffic movement, and
take action to ensure the safe movement of vessels in
Canadian waters.
The Kitsilano Coast Guard Station is being reopened
and is expected be operating this summer.
There is also the Victoria Joint Rescue Coordination
Centre (JRCC Victoria) located at Canadian Forces
Base Esquimalt, jointly staffed by Canadian Forces
and Canadian Coast Guard. It coordinates with Victoria and Prince Rupert MTCS. There are two other
JRCCs one in Ontario and one in Nova Scotia.
The Department of National Defence (DND) is actually the lead agency for search and rescue. The Canadian Coast Guard supports/leads the execution of
maritime incidents while the RCMP is the lead agency for ground incidents.

Coast Guard if you have any concerns. Use channel

Tod Inlet Cruise May 6-8
What a wonderful weekend we had at Tod Inlet.
Eight boats arrived on Friday and after much repositioning, eventually everyone was anchored and rafted
close to the float. A lazy afternoon in the warm sunshine was followed by happy hour on the float with a
wonderful variety of appetizers.

Saturday morning we enjoyed coffee and goodies on
the float until about noon. At that time we enjoyed a
hotdog lunch provided by the Hargreaves’ and the
Critchley’s. It was cooked by the Hill’s and the
McLernon’s and everyone else added condiments and
other yummy additions to the meal.
Following lunch a few of us played scrabble and
some took their dinghies over to the Gardens. The
Lindholm’s discovered a severe loss of battery function and decided it was best to head home midafternoon. They very kindly left their dinner contribution of steaks behind for the rest of us to enjoy.
Happy hour consisted of all the dinghies rafting together and taking a leisurely tour of the Inlet. During
an amazing dinner, we had a surprise visit from the
Hill’s oldest daughter and her family. Nathaniel
(grandson) particularly enjoyed the desserts, especially the one served to him by Roger Hargreaves! He
also provided ferry service to them all, including their
new puppy, so thanks very much again.

The weather changed during the night and became
quite windy. We were all secure but there were a few
people who had an interrupted night and consequently we had a late start in the morning. Despite that, it
was a wonderful weekend, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I certainly hope we do another anchoring cruise next year.
By the way, Butchart Gardens is now sponsoring a
mobile pumpout service provided by J.R. Pumpout.
They will be visiting the Inlet every day during tourist season but you can call them at 1-844-507-3451.
Payment is by donation.
Sound of Music Cruise Ladysmith May 20-23
Tod cruise report provided by Debbi Hill
We had 19 boats arrive at Ladysmith Maritime
Society Marina on May 20, 2016. Weather was
great (we must have horseshoes). Saturday’s potluck dinner and the band was thoroughly enjoyed
by all.
Sunday morning’s Brunch coordinated by Alice,
Alex and Sandra was excellent. Thanks to all the
crew who helped put on this great weekend. Art
didn't even try to break himself like last year but
did do a super job breaking the rest of us on the
50/50. Fleet Captain Roger Hind via e-mail
It was sunny and warm as we made our way up to
Ladysmith. For those of us who travel at about 7
knots and left before the flood, it took us about four
hours. There was definitely a lesson in timing such a
long run.
Friday afternoon was hot and the warmth lingered
into the evening and the BBQ organized by the
Ladysmith Marina.
Name those boats!
Can you name the three boats rafted together on
the first page of this month’s Kicker Kapers???
There’s a prize in it for the first person to send me
the correct answer.

A few VCCers enjoying the rays at Friday’s happy
hour before tucking into the BBQ rib dinner.
Ladysmith was a popular destination to explore on
Saturday. We enjoyed the Old Town Bakery, antique
stores, galleries and many other interesting shops.
There was also lots of good dog walking territory
both to the north and south of the marina.
Saturday’s highlight was the potluck dinner and the
band. Great food with lots for everyone and the band
kept us going strong until long after sunset.
Below: the two musicians in the centre are brothers
of Carol Walker.
Below, our BBQ chefs for the Marina sponsored rib
dinner.
Ron and Bill: sorry for the surprise shots, but they’re
our only dance pics.
Everyone enjoys Sunday’s brunch and this was a very
special one because everyone gets to customize their
own omelet. The brunch crew had prepped on Saturday and were a finely tune team on Sunday. Even as
we lined up it was fun to watch the action.

Past VCC Commodore: Gerry Clarke
boat to get out from his marina slip and there was no
dock to tie up to at the Spit.
Gerry Clarke grew up in
Greater Victoria and first
started boating on Prospect
lake with a 14 ft. runabout .
This changed in December
1977 when he bought a 27 ft.
Bayliner and began exploring
our local marine waters.
Another memorable Club cruise was in 1983 at the
Sail Past when two boats mooned the Commodore!
Apparently most boats were busy getting into position and didn’t notice and the Commodore at the time
laughed it off. High jinks were not unusual in the ‘80s
with many Club events featuring dressing-up and
skits. At the Easter Cruise is was common for one
Club member to dress up as the Easter Bunny and
deliver eggs and Easter goodies to each boat.
His first VCC cruise was in
the Bayliner in 1979 to Otter
Bay where he was also formally initiated into the
Club. He says that the best boat he’s ever had is CLarke, a 30 ft. Campion. He ordered it new in February 1981, took possession in May and he still owns it.
His pride in this boat is obvious to everyone who has
seen him keep it clean on Club cruises.
The Commodore’s Ball for Gerry in 1986 was held at
the Princess Mary Restaurant. After the dinner a fall
pageant, written by a Club member, was presented
including natives and settlers in full costume. Gerry
as guest of honour was recruited on the spot to be the
baby, complete with diaper!
Gerry treasures his Commodores Memory Book
chock full of pictures of Club cruises and events. He
doesn’t believe he
owns it and in fact
there’s a handwritten note (left) that
says it’s VCC property to be returned
when Gerry leaves
the Club. He no
doubt will be holding on to the Book
for many, many
more years.
Gerry went through all of the other four Bridge positions before becoming Commodore in 1986, Expo
Year. He followed Mary Hunter (of the famous Mary
Hunter Trophy) through the progression of Fleet Captain, Secretary, Treasurer and Vice-Commodore . He
and says that being Treasurer was easy because Mary
had the books so well set up. He enjoyed Mary and
her sense of humour and notes that she was the first
woman to become Commodore.
Sail Past at Port Browning was the highlight of his
year as Commodore. C-Larke is pictured below at the
1986 Sail Past with Gerry and his sons on board.
There were 75 boats in the Club at that time and almost all of them made the Sail Past. He remembers
that the average boat
length at the time was
25.5 ft. and that 25 ft.
was also the most common boat length.
Over the years Gerry
has cruised as far North
as Desolation Sound
and as far South as Seattle. But his favourite
destinations are closer
to home— Montague
Harbour and Tod Inlet.
One memorable Club
cruise was New Years
Day trip to Sidney Spit
for a bonfire and
wiener roast on the
beach. He remembers
having to first chip the
ice from around his
