his past month the first gray whale passed Marina del
Rey and on past the Gray Whale Census And Behavior
Project lookout site atop the Palos Verdes cliffs on its
way to the warm waters of Mexico to likely give birth.
She will be number one of probably thousands that will
pass the point. Volunteers for the American Cetacean
Society Los Angeles Chapter have been manning that post since 1979
making it the longest-running citizen science program of its kind in the
world. Every single day from December 1st through May 15th they stand
watch and monitor whale behavior from the perch that sits about 125-feet
above sea level.
Although most of the gray whales migrating from the Pacific Northwest
use offshore routes through the Channel Islands, a good amount still travel
the coastal path. For months whales can be seen traveling the stretch of
water between Pt. Dume and Palos Verdes. Seeing grays pass by is a
wonderful thing, but its important to allow them to do their thing and
not interrupt or impede them in any way. Try to remember that its very
possible youre near a pregnant female, since they are on their way to
birthing grounds.
Gray whales mate every other year and stay pregnant for more than a year,
which means you are probably next to a woman that has been pregnant for
a very long time and the last thing she wants to deal with is you scaring the
bejesus out of her. Also theyve been through too much as a species to not
let them have their space. It wasnt long ago that men with dollar signs in
their eyes all but wiped them off the map. Thousands of Grays were killed
during whaling times - nearly the entire population.
But the grays were one group that didnt take it lying down. The whalers
of the day called them devil fish because they knew the deal and fought
back with a vengeance. Many a whaling ship got rammed by an angry
gray whale that wasnt going to surrender without a fight. That said, the
whalers of the day were well equipped and would win in the end. By
the 1940s the population of gray whales in this part of the world was
down to the hundreds when a protection ban was placed. Fortunately, they
have made a stunning recovery and in 1995 they were removed from the
endangered species list. Current numbers are not far from their historic

Above left; First overall was hardly in question as soon as the judges saw Ellis Island II, skippered by Peter Ellis. The theme of the Holiday
Boat Parade was animation and Ellis pulled out all the stops - the bottle actually poured booze into the glass...impressive stuff. Above right;
Halcyon won in the Best Sail category with a tastefully lit boat complete with a Santa at the spreaders. Below; Santa Monica Windjammers
Yacht Club once again took home a ribbon for Best Yacht Club. The club always digs deep for the boat parade and this year was no exception.

Heads Up!
Talkin About Marine Heads
Also, by eliminating the dead, saltwater microcritters from the head you will reduce the odor
substantially. There is also the added benefit
of no mineralization build up in the hoses and
valves - resulting in fewer repairs. The amount
of freshwater used is inconsequential over long
weekends and short vacations.
Its also a good idea to add a little Murphys
Oil Soap to the bowl and give it a pump or
two. This will help with odors and lubricate
the pump seals and joker valve - helping it to
seal better. Adding a small amount of vegetable
oil (available at any food market) will also help
lubricate the pump and seals.
While you are engaged in this plumbing project
is a good time to be sure there is no backflow because of a stuck anti-siphon valve or
improperly installed plumbing hoses. There
should also be a properly installed and
functioning Y-valve for overboard discharge or
holding tank option.
Be sure to inform your guests to use dockside
facilities whenever possible. Remind them
again just before you castoff for a day-sail. Also
suggest that when using the head they use as
little toilet paper as possible. A good rule is, If
you havent eaten it, dont flush it.
When cruising at our local islands be aware that
these areas are No Discharge Zones, and that
there are hefty fines involved if you pump out
in those areas. There is a pump-out dock in
Avalon, as well as honey-pot vessels that will
pump out your tank on the mooring. Note: Be
advised, that when mooring in Avalon, Harbor
Patrol personnel will board your vessel and drop
green dye tablets in your head. If any of that
dye is seen around your vessel, you will receive
a ticket with a $500 fine and your boat will be
banned from Avalon for one year.
Two Harbors also has pump-out facilities
available.

Officials Look
In the Small Craft Harbor Commission meeting
this past month the main topic of discussion
was the continuing focus on what to do about
illegal chartering, but also sussing out more
subtle nuances in what is best for local charter
legislation and protocol going forward.
Michael Rodriguez Chief Property Manager
for the Department of Beaches and Harbors
is the point man in this area and he addressed
the Commission saying they will be far more
assertive in cracking down on illegal charters
as we head towards summer, even mentioning a
potential sting operation could well be instituted.
He said they would have someone pretend to
be a customer and call upif they say, well
pick you up at Burton Chace Park, then we
can make a case [against them for illegal
chartering,] Rodriguez said.

RACING
SCE N E
By Greg Rutter
Its January. Most yacht clubs around the country are shuttered and the remaining sailors shudder in the snow. In contrast, we in Southern California go
out in the sun to burn off that craving for competition thats been building since the end of last year. Fortunately for us, theres an event every weekend
to fill that need for speed.
Kicking off the year we have Berger/Stein #1 Malibu and Return on January 7. This 23-mile race is always a treat; being on the water finally!
in SoCal weather. Its either blowing stink or a balmy, sunscreen kind of day. Sometimes its both. Info and registration at www.regattanetwork.com/
clubmgmt/applet_registration_form.php?regatta_id=13671
For those who really need to be away from people theres the Pacific Singlehanded Sailing Associations 47-mile Ship Rock race on January 14. In
fairness, its for single or double-handed sailors, but still, comparative peace and quiet in the company of wind and whales. Visit pssala.com for info.
On Thursday, January 19 stay warm for a change at an ASMBYC seminar. Its Dave Perry Presents: 2017-2020 NEW Racing Rules. Competitive
racers love to attend Daves always-entertaining and expert exposition of new RRS and how to use them in competition. Q and A follows. Hosted by
California Yacht Club, 7 to 9 p.m.
The first buoy race of the season for PHRF and OD classes comes on January 21 with the 44th Annual Champagne Regatta. For Cruising class there is
a random leg race to knock the rust off navigational skills. Well see whos been practicing in the off-season! Register at www.regattanetwork.com/
clubmgmt/applet_registration_form.php?regatta_id=13715
To finish the month, on January 28 theres the Super Bowl Charity Regatta benefitting the Santa Monica Bay Sailing Foundation. This is typically the
largest one-design regatta in the Marina each year and focuses on boats 25-feet and under. This year the event includes a SUP/Paddling Harbor Cleanup. Racing for a good cause! Registration is at www.smwyc.org/#/racing/
Ahh, January racing in southern California - its why we live here!

Someone
might
eat a food they
adversely react to
or an antibiotic or
asthma. The contents
within a bee sting
kit basically allow
you to buy time for
a severe reaction
to many different
things.
Heres 5 extra things to cram in that first aid kit:
1.Super Glue It might sound a little weird,
but take a page from the world of professional
athletes and glue up that cut!
2.Tourniquet With the hope that you never
have to use it, having a tourniquet on board
could be the difference between a really bad day
and a changed life.
3.Tweezers While many kits have tweezers,
many do not. Check your kit and make sure.
Boats typically have lots of tools and spares, but
unless there is a well-groomed woman around,
tweezers might be just what you need and just
what you dont have.
4. Syringe Syringes are good to have in the kit
not because youll be injecting shots into anyone
while youre on your lovely daysail, but more
for a way to more efficiently clean a wound. A
turkey baster is good too but theyre bigger. A
syringe can be dipped into a water bottle and
used to accurately clean up a small or medium
sized cut. Then grab that super glue! Glue up
your buddy and sail that puppy back home!
5.Bee Sting Kit (prescribed) The good doctor
says this is good for a severe reaction of any
kind. Theres peace of mind knowing that if
someone on the boat starts to have some sort of
odd reaction to some unknown thing, you can
reach into the kit and see if the bee sting stuff
works.
