July 4, 2014 Chili Cook Off – Hosted by Steve & Carol

I nstallment three - the Bah bash. Well all the parties were over and we needed to bring her back. My plans changed, as initially I was going to take Serendipity around the point and up to La Paz. Probably just be heading up the coast now. Anyhow, I needed to get home sooner than I thought and Matt was willing to bash back – so

we got ready for the trip. We took on 5 more diesel tanks to give us 75 gal on board and a range of about 500 miles. As we had a satellite phone, but didn’t have the weather plan ( I was going to set that up later), I called and asked Rich Holden if he would be our weather briefer. He agreed and man having that information saved our bacon. Daily we would call Rich, give our position and our expected sail, and he would give us a weather brief for the next day or so. THANK YOU RICH !!!

We left Cabot on a Monday evening (Nov 11,2013) and headed to Bahia Santa Maria. The point around Cabot on the Pacific side can be sloppy, at night it calms down. We didn’t have to bad of a go of it. Leaving all the lights of Cabot and soon being out in the ocean along the desolate coast was sobering. We sailed all day and through Tuesday night and arrived in Bahia Santa Maria on Wednesday afternoon. With a two person crew you are wiped out. So we dropped anchor, had dinner and called it a night. Thursday afternoon we pulled the anchor and started heading up the coast to Turtle Bay. Again two long days and two nights later we pulled in to Turtle Bay on a Saturday, November 16, 2014. Again we sailed around a point which caused sloppy chop coming up the coast. Turtle Bay has a dock, small restaurant and a little bar on the bay. Felt great to be back in civilization. Two other sail boats were anchored in Turtle Bay with us. They were heading down the coast to Cabo – we all ended up going in to town and having dinner. Each boat had a young couple on board. They didn’t know each other, had both missed the Baha start, and were both planning to sail around the world. After dinner we ended up at the bar. The two couples hit it off and planned to buddy boat south together. We were on our own heading north. Rich advise us that there was some nasty stuff com-ing down the coast in a few days, so we headed out of Turtle ( would have loved to stay longer) November 17, around noon. We wanted to get around Cedros – the big island north of Turtle Bay – before the seas got bad by again sailing all night. It was starting to get nasty Monday morning. We had a cove picked out, Bahia San Carlos, and headed for it. Arriving Monday afternoon we dropped anchor and planned to wait out the storm. Talking with Rich, it looked like we might be stuck in there till Friday. As we both wanted to be home for Thanksgiving – it was getting tight. The wind was howling over head, but our little cove just had some small chop. We started hearing some calls from two other sail boats- one heading north like us and one heading south. The one heading south joined us in the cove and also hunkered down with us. We woke up Tuesday morning to half the Japanese fishing fleet anchored next to us (seven huge fishing boats). The winds continued all day Tuesday and Wednesday. We all stayed anchored there. Thursday morning we woke to no wind and flat seas – wow, and the fishing boats were gone. So we checked weather reports with the other sail boat and Rich – both said we had a window of a few days of good weather, and we were off to San Diego. Two more days and nights of sailing. On Friday night it rained, but winds were from the south so we made some good time. Saturday morning we started seeing lightening off the shore, luckily the winds from the south really moved us to San Diego. We got into the harbor at San Disco at 6 am on Saturday morning (November 23, 2014), docked at the police dock and called customs to schedule a visit to the boat to clear us back to

Future Activities:

May 10th – Interclub #2 EYC 12:25 start

May 22nd – Cruise-out to Angel Island – 4 days – 6nm each way.

May 25th – Club picnic at Angel Island – blacktop accessible via AI Ferry.

July 5th – Westpoint Regatta Start at TI, and After Party at Sequoia YC

July 25th – Weekend Cruise Out to South Beach YC, Giants Games

Sept 12th – Delta Cruise – 2 weeks, Sportsman’s, Outrigger, Devils Island.

This Jibe Cruise Details:

May 22nd Angel Island Cruise-out (Cruise Leader: Don Mibach)

Don will cruise out on Wednesday and encourages any other participants to be there by Thursday late afternoon or earlier because this is a popular destination with limited moorings. Raft-ups on the hook or on the moorings is being discouraged, but we’ll push the issue. I hope to bring my sailboat down from the Delta for this cruise, and will be bringing my zodiac. This means I should be able to dinghy back to the dock for work on Thursday and Friday, and can offer rides to others playing the same hooky game. I will also be doing day cruises for members on Saturday and Sunday, and possibly Monday as well.

May 25th Sunday Potluck Picnic on Angel Island. (Cruise Leader: Will Smith)

This is part of the Angel Island Cruise, but this section is for the black-top bunch. The Angel Island Ferry gives everyone access to this club picnic event. We’ll hijack a nice area on the lawn for this no-fee pot-luck/picnic so bring your whole family. Details forthcoming in a separate flyer. The Angel Island Ferry de-parts Tiburon on the hour from 10am to 5pm, and returns from Angel Island 20 minutes after the hour. Adults $13.50 round-trip, and bring your bicycle for $1 more. Parking is not included.

July 25th Weekend Cruise-out to South Beach YC, (Cruise Leader: Reg Smith)

Giants host the Dodgers with games Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This is always a very well attended series, so buy tickets now. Reggie’s plan is to cruise over on Friday afternoon, then walk to the park and at-tend the 7:15 game (Hundreds of seats available $41-75). Saturday will be an opportunity to join the cruise-out by boat or car, and the game is at 6:05, but seats are nearly sold-out, so this may be a good time to have dinner at a sports bar. Sunday’s game is at 1:05, and is a perfect time for an organized raft-up in the west end of McCovey cove.

Cruise Report:

A drop-of-the-hat black-top cruise to the Strictly Sail Pacific Boat Show on Saturday April 12 included a lawn party hosted by Bob Bitchin of Cruising Outpost Magazine. Plenty of free beer, wine, and pizza was con-sumed to the accompaniment of music by an actual beach band from Key West. Great fun. Join–in next time.

The Opening Day on the Bay Cruise-out was cancelled due to rain and high winds.

Forthcoming Cruises:

EPIRB DISPOSAL

What do you do when your old Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) needs to be re-

tired? One thing you shouldn’t do is simply throw it in the garbage.

Last year, the U.S. Coast Guard searched the New Smyrna Beach, Florida area for two hours before find-

ing an EPIRB in a trash can at a marina. The owner had simply tossed the unit into the trash and once it

got wet, it activated. Unfortunately, this was not the first time the Coast Guard has had to deal with this

problem and old EPIRBs have been activated in dumpsters and landfills. These types of false alerts put

Search and Rescue (SAR) crews at risk, make SAR assets less available for actual distress, and fatigue

the SAR system. There were 178 cases in 2012 and the problem is increasing.

As new EPIRBs come on the market with more features and lower price tags, and old units reach the

end of their life spans, more and more boaters need to dispose of an old one. So how do you do it prop-

erly?

First, notify NOAA that you’re taking it out of service. Find out here: www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov. Next. Remove the battery. Often the manual will have instructions. If not, call the manufacturer. Ser-vice facilities that replace batteries can also give you guidance. The body of the EPIRB can then be dis-posed of at places that accept computers, TVs, and other electronic equipment, often sponsored by local counties. Be aware that the Coast Guard routinely refers cases involving the non-distress activation of an EPIRB to the Federal Communications Commission for possible prosecution. © 2014 reprinted with permission BoatUS Marine Insurance.

V. RETURN TO SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco's "Newest Neighborhood"

The city's movers and shakers salivated at the thought of this almost unbearably prime real estate falling into the public domain. It was obviously a little bit late for the international airport plan, so San Fran-ciscans unleashed a flood of ideas for the island, some perhaps more practical than others. These early suggestions included turning the place into an Olympic training facility, a gigantic theme park, a new headquarters for the United Nations, a women's prison, and a site for a new ballpark for the San Francisco Giants -- thankfully no longer necessary! A couple of other early notions involved swapping the property for the Headwaters redwood grove up in Humboldt County, or turning it into a floating casino -- both of those from ex-mayor Willie Brown. When the dust settled, the early consensus was to develop a private/public partnership to fill the acreage with housing, parks and other amenities, turning the is-land into "San Francisco's newest neighborhood".

But not so fast. Though the island had become a na-val base almost literally overnight, the reverse of that process was not going to be easy. For one thing, a half century of accumulated federal red tape meant that, in the words of one city official, negotiating with the Navy involved going back to the Treaty of Gua-dalupe Hidalgo. That's the 1848 deal by which the United States had acquired California from Mexico, and he was only half-joking. In addition, years of in-tensive military occupation meant that the island was a toxic waste disaster, deeply contaminated by heavy-duty carcinogens such as asbestos, lead, di-oxins, PCBs and possibly even radioactive waste. Thankfully federal law mandates that such contami-nation be cleaned up before a final transfer may take place, but though the government had saved billions of dollars through country-wide base closures, the Navy didn't like the idea of spending money just to give the island away. $120 million have been spent on cleanup as of 2006, but the net result of the Navy's resistance has been over a decade of foot-dragging, costing the Bay Area millions in unrealized

income. And to make matters worse, negotiations between the City of San Francisco's Treasure Island Development Authority (TIDA) and the group of in-vestors officially designated to redevelop the island moved at a snail's pace, giving the Navy further ex-cuse for delay. If you read the newspapers in San Francisco during the late '90s then you probably got sick of hearing about Treasure Island's future. The whole thing devolved into a political soap opera, generating miles of digital newsprint. Allegations of corruption, mismanagement, and "sweetheart deals" dogged the administrations of both Mayor Brown and of Gavin Newsom. San Francisco, the Navy, and the TIDA were targets of severe criticism from just about everyone, from environmental activists to a seem-ingly endless array of other interest organizations. Community input was taken into consideration as plans were developed for the site, but since just about every group in the Bay Area has some interest in the island's future, the resulting gridlock should not have been surprising -- in San Francisco, this is business as usual. For details on this disheartening saga, feel free to browse the online archives of SFGate.com. As the political wars were being waged on the mainland, the island languished in a kind of limbo, a ghost town owned by the absentee Navy, promised to the city, but serving just about no one.

Treasure Island in Limbo The streamline modern World's Fair Administration Building as it stands in 2007 - note the original air traffic control tower still on the roof. - Richard Miller

Well, that's not precisely true. During the past dec-ade Treasure Island has probably been best known as a prime location for movie and television projects. A couple of films were shot before the decommis-sioning of the base, most notably "The Canine Mu-tiny" in 1954 and "Indiana Jones and the Last Cru-sade", in which the former World's Fair Administra-tion Building -- digitally draped with swastika banners -- played the role of the Berlin Airport. Since 1997, though, the old hangars have served as sound stages for a wide array of productions, sweetening the delayed hand-over of the island somewhat by injecting a little cash into the local economy. A short list of these would include "Rent", "Monk", "The In-credible Hulk", "Battle bots",

"Nash Bridges", "Patch Adams", "The Parent Trap", and, regrettably, "Flubber".

The long-term plan for redevelopment seems to indi-cate that the film industry will continue to be wel-come, and San Francisco's official city website pro-motes the island as being "at the forefront of Mayor Gavin Newsom's commitment to revitalize San Fran-cisco's film industry and to make San Francisco the premier filming destination in the country" -- some-thing I think most local citizens would endorse.

One side effect of the island's current state of limbo has been the closure of the Treasure Island Mu-seum. This wonderful facility, located in the Admini-stration Building, was established back in 1974 as an official naval history museum. With the announce-ment of the base closure in '93, the non-profit "Treasure Island Museum Association" took over the operation. A treasure trove of memorabilia from the World's Fair and Flying Clipper eras were on display alongside historical military artifacts and extensive archives. With the decommissioning of the base in '97, the Navy closed the museum and exiled the col-lection to basement storage lockers. Though a cou-ple of sleek statues left over from the World's Fair stand guard outside, there's not much left to see. Ne-gotiations are ongoing, but as of today, there is no guarantee that the collection will remain on the is-land, or even in California. And in the interim, it re-mains hidden from the public. Treasure Island was designated California State Historic Landmark 987 in 1989, and I keep my fingers crossed that the mu-seum will one day reopen, making the island's color-ful history real for future generations.

In the Meantime Alongside the occasional invasions of movie people, somewhere around two thousand people call Treas-ure Island home today. These include an assortment of government employees -- teachers, firefighters, police officers -- and other random folks who've made the move to enjoy relatively inexpensive hous-ing, million dollar views and the quiet, almost small-town ambience left in the absence of the Navy. The Administration Building serves as offices for a private agency responsible for renting this city-controlled

housing stock to the general public. Substantial sub-sidies offered by the nonprofit Treasure Island Home-less Development Initiative support a population of once-homeless people as well. And according to the current director of Island Operations, there's also a single wild deer lurking somewhere on the base, though how she got there is anybody's guess! A pair of restaurants, a gym, chapel, marina, and a couple of baseball fields -- on which I myself have enjoyed a game or two -- more or less complete the available amenities.

The atmosphere out on the island is a little surreal right now. There's a feeling of suspended animation, of a kind of vacuum, a geographical space outside of time. When the clock begins to roll forward again, most of the current residents will be given an option to stay... but the new phase is going to come as a bit of a shock.

The Future of Treasure Island As of today, the middle of 2007, the Treasure Island political soap opera appears to be on track for some kind of resolution. After well over a decade of conten-tion, as well as thousands of community meetings, the future of Treasure Island is finally starting to coa-lesce.

The filing of an environmental impact report in 2005 resulted in the agreement that Treasure Island, along with Yerba Buena, will be turned over to the city in 2008 -- this time for real. The Navy agreed to accept $40 million to relinquish their hold on the island, on condition that the toxic waste left behind be remedi-ated by its new owners. This gave the go-ahead for TIDA's final redevelopment plans -- under constant redevelopment themselves since the agency's incep-tion --

- to be presented to the San Francisco Board of Su-pervisors for approval last year. With some reserva-tions, that blueprint was approved. Keeping in mind that San Francisco politics are less stable than the ground the city is built on, here's the plan:

The island of the future - San Francisco's newest neighborhood. - Skidmore, Owings and Merrill

Treasure Island, along with Yerba Buena, will be transformed into a self-sufficient, ultra modern com-munity for 13,500 San Franciscans -- a population larger than my own hometown. The three World's Fair survivors will be left in place, but the grid of anti-quated Navy-era structures will be replaced by roughly 6,000 residential units and 300 acres of open space, including organic gardens, bike paths, playgrounds, and even wetlands. Sustainable tech-nology such as solar power and a wind farm are highlighted in the design, as well as the use of green construction methods. Several distinct neighbor-hoods, complete with townhouses, flats, and resi-dential towers will radiate from a central retail-oriented core, featuring a 40-story tower reminiscent of the Golden Gate Exposition's "Tower of the Sun". In an effort to echo the density mainland San Fran-ciscans are accustomed to, most housing will be clustered within a 10-minute walk from the new west-ern-facing ferry terminal. To blunt the impact of a flood of new commuters on the Bay Bridge, empha-sis will be placed on ferry and bus transit, and a con-gestion pricing scheme -- similar to that recently im-posed in London -- would charge a nominal fee to motorists entering and exiting the island during com-mute hours.

If you're already starting to pack your bags, keep in mind that although thirty percent of the new units will be available at below-market rates, you can bet that the remainder will start at six figures and head north from there. If all goes well, the first lucky new resi-dents will move in by 2013, and the project as a whole is slated for completion by 2022.

The whole thing is projected to cost $1.2 billion dol-lars. Since this is not the kind of pocket change San Francisco has lying around, a private development group has been involved more or less from day one. One member of this team, the Lennar Corporation, is a specialist in the rehabilitation of military bases. Al-

ready deeply insinuated into local politics, they've scored just about every other Bay Area military base deal as well. A less controversial member is Wilson Meany Sullivan, the local firm responsible for the wonderful restoration of the San Francisco Ferry Building. Together the group will pony up $500 mil-lion for the rights to transform Treasure Island -- and San Francisco will borrow $700 million in bonds to make up its share.

A Calculated Risk But the best laid plans of mice, men, and real estate developers have a way of going awry. The environ-mental contamination issue is far from being re-solved. Though the worst areas are currently fenced off, there's no predicting precisely what chemical horrors will be discovered as the cleanup continues. The ability of the island to survive an earthquake is also in question. Constructed like an elevated mud pie, on opening day of the World's Fair in 1939 the island rose 14 feet above the bay. Its non-engineered fill was already slowly sinking when the Loma Prieta earthquake struck in 1989, and today its height has slumped to just nine feet. A quake on a fault located closer to the island could cause the same kind of devastating soil liquefaction seen that year in the Marina district. To prevent disaster, a big chunk of that $1.2 billion dollars will be spent on a 50-foot zone of seismic reinforcements, including 35-foot cement stabilizing columns to be driven into the earth all around the island's perimeter. And finally, it wasn't a coincidence that Governor Arnold Schwar-zenegger chose to sign Treasure Island as the site to sign California’s landmark anti-global warming bill late last year. If the inconvenient truth of rising sea levels is not brought under control, living on Treas-ure Island will mean investing in a pair of hip waders -- at best.

The developers are betting half a billion dollars that the plan will succeed in spite of these risks. They an-ticipate a pay-off of $370 million in profits by 2022. San Francisco, on the other hand, is operating on faith -- hoping, praying and crossing its collective fin-gers that this plan, arguably the most ambitious since the building of Treasure Island over 70 years ago, will prove successful.

The developers are betting half a billion dollars that the plan will succeed in spite of these risks. They an-ticipate a pay-off of $370 million in profits by 2022. San Francisco, on the other hand, is operating on faith -- hoping, praying and crossing its collective fin-gers that this plan, arguably the most ambitious since the building of Treasure Island over 70 years ago, will prove successful. The computer-generated ren-derings of the project -- realized by the San Fran-cisco office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill -- do look amazing. That island looks like the future.

For all the uncertainties, problems yet to be revealed, and the many nits that will be picked with this ongo-ing enterprise, the one truth is that this is an incredi-bly exciting phase in the history of the Bay Area. It seems like we're a long way from the Junior Cham-ber of Commerce's half-baked idea for an airport back in 1931 -- but then again, perhaps not. After all,

the essential characteristics of San Francisco over the decades are undoubtedly metamorphosis and mutation. The changes coming to Treasure Island are as inevitable as the earthquakes and fires, the conflicting cultural forces and violent economic trends which have unsystematically edited, erased and rewritten our city since its birth 170 years ago. Will the Treasure Island project succeed? Well, the future is not really my area, but I do know this: the result will be interesting, and I don't think any of us can wait to find out what happens next in San Fran-cisco's newest neighborhood… Whoopy, yip, yip Yahoo...go Dem Spenders give everything away- Finis
