The Mariner appears on the last
Friday of every month.
This issue Sept. 27 - Oct. 25
This past month I taped an interview for the
Marina del Rey Historical Society of a couple of
sisters who grew up around Lake Los Angeles or
Mud Lake as it was informally known. Their dad
apparently had the leasehold for the area and ran
a recreational facility on what is now Marina del
Rey. According to these nice women (now in their
60s and70s), trailerable boating on the water and
horseback riding around the space were the two
main activities one could choose from for a day at
Lake Los Angeles.
From an entrance on Washington Blvd, folks could
drive down and launch their small sailboats or
ski-boats right off the sand around the area that is
currently Mothers Beach on Palawan way. We ate
lunch at the Jamaica Bay Inn that overlooks that
spot and one of the ladies said she got chills seeing
it once again.
Over lunch, a group of us talked about that decade
long span in the 50s when this place forged
its boating identity. One of the sisters tried to
remember how things were set up how much did it
cost to bring a boat in, what types of facilities were
here? She was young at the time and her memories
faded, but she said she didnt think it cost much
and didnt remember anyone collecting money at
a gate she recalled people would always look to
pay once inside.
Hearing them describe this simple little world as
we looked out on what is now touted as the largest
man made harbor in the country was fascinating. A
fourteen year-old girl left a quiet little lake she rode
horses around and returned as an older woman to
a large-scale world-renowned harbor wrought with
regulation, political importance and 4,600 boats
including enormous mega-yachts.
To hear them speak of this place through their
only perspective - that of children, made me hope
that this little place in the universe will somehow
maintain a sliver of the purity that those women
experienced back in the 50s running around the
peaceful unassuming paradise of Mud Lake.

As the old Marina del Rey gets torn down, some of the even older Marina del Rey has reared its head. Don the Beachcomber was a bar/restaurant that
was a go-to watering hole for MdR locals from 1970 until sometime in the 80s. Many a local has a sordid tale (some embarrassing, some not) of their
time spent at this establishment.
In the past few years it has been a very low profle building that preformed no retail purpose. In fact, many have mentioned that it is a prime example
of a wasted piece of waterside real estate. This past month the building was torn down, but during the demolition, the signage of the original occupant
that existed before Don the Beachcomber was hiding beneath the construction. Like a time capsule from the 1960s, the Golden Galleons classic green,
early Vegas style neon sign was standing proud and mostly intact. The Golden Galleon was an upscale restaurant that existed right around the same
time as Marina del Reys inception.

The talk of the town for a few days last month
was the sight of this 377-foot mega-yacht
anchored right off the Marina del Rey breakwall
for days on end. The massive luxury cruiser, too
big to come inside, was said to be the worlds
largest expedition yacht. Its owned by the 50
th

richest man in the world, Roman Abramovich,
a Russian entrepreneur who apparently made
much of his money in the oil business.
The boat features two helicopter pads, a spa,
medical center, hot tub, a pool and a crew of 40.
This isnt the largest mega-yacht in the world
but dont feel sad for Abramovich because up
until this past April, he owned that too the 536-
foot Eclipse. But earlier this year the President
of the United Arab Emirates and Emir of Abu
Dhabi eclipsed the Eclipse with a 600-million-
dollar 590-foot motor yacht.

Great Results for Your Listing!
When Im staying down on the boat, my usual habit is a morning walk of
about 500 yards to Mermaids - a tiny, mostly outdoor, eatery - below
L.A. Fitness on Panay Way overlooking Mothers Beach in Marina del
Rey. There, gathered among tables on the dockside milieu, in the early
a.m., is a small, rather eclectic, group of marina denizens - sailors most
- similar, in many ways, to Steinbeck characters from Cannery Row -
Sweet Thursday.... with, perhaps, a nod to Tortilla Flat.
With coffee and a muffn in hand, I sit surrounded by familiar faces,
immersed in mostly interesting, though often arcane, conversation.
Depending on the mood and the proclivities of those in attendance,
discussions may range over a spectrum of topics - from the proper care
and maintenance of a boats holding tank and waste system - to the Final
Siege of Acre in 1291.
These ruminations are continually paused and punctuated by; joggers,
dogs, bicyclists, local residents, tourists and the homeless - all churning
past - in step with their own silent drummer. Many chatting with a
companion, others nimbly texting, a few with earbuds, a ragged handful
pushing shopping carts full of the scraps and remains of life - a sad
contrast to those carrying gym bags, headed to L.A. Fitness. Some young
and beautiful... others, not so much.
However, now the conversation is muted...perhaps even sullen. The word
has spread among us that Mermaids and L.A. Fitness will close within the
month - falling victim to the seemingly endless, Marina del Rey Renewal
Project. Arcane conversation, mingled with the aroma of coffee and the
chatter of small things, will soon give way to clatter of jackhammers and
the thunder of wrecking balls, as Mermaids joins her former neighbor, The
Ships Store - alive only in memories of better days.
Its becoming hard to fnd a quiet, backwater in the marina that is not also
lonely.

An Author Among Us
The Mariners very own Tim Tunks has written a book forged
from a lifetime of cruising and racing sailboats
Youve written a book! Has this been a goal
youve always had or did it come about some
other way? What brought you to this end?
Tunks: Two good friends had recently
published their books and then my publisher, a
guy you know well, suggested I assemble some
of my Mariner stories into a book. My father
and mother had written books, so all that made
it seem like it was my turn now.
What about this book, do you think is
different or unique compared to whats
already out in sailings literary world?
Tunks: Any book is the unique expression of its
author, unless its a copy of the same old stuff.
My book is my miscellany of interesting stuff.
My varied backgroundfrom engineering,
to professorship in theater, to Las Vegas show
design, to disco and special effects design, to
living off the grid for a decade sailing up and
down the coast of Mexicoall that gives me
my point of view, which is a slant Ive not yet
spotted in other books. The sailing books that
Ive found most interesting are the ones that
open my eyes to something new - whether it be
a new technique or an experience shared that
Id otherwise miss. I like to hear the writers
voice and understand his point of view, even
if it isnt the same as mine. When Id learn
something at my grandfathers side it was
always like a special gift, so I tried to convey
a sense of generosity in the style and substance
of the book. I imagined a group of experienced
sailors exchanging stories and knowledge in
a social setting; each speaker expressing his
own gift to the group, celebrating something he
found valuable. I hope my readers feel like they
can drop in at the party and grab a few gifts for
themselves. Imagine a good bathroom book you
can pick up and enjoy a few pagesfnding a
refreshing new topic to consider.
On the cover of the book it reads The Best
Gift Ever for _______ Can you talk about
this concept for a book cover?
Tunks: Your previous question reminds us that
a plethora of sailing books exists. Of course I
want mine to look different enough so that it
will be noticed. I came up with the gimmick of
designing the books cover to resemble a gift
wrapped present and then giving it the title The
Best Gift Ever (for my Favorite Sailor). Figuring
lots of books are purchased as gifts, making my
book look like a good gift choice might help sell
it. With the title written on the gift card portion
of the cover there is a line on which to write
a recipients name, making the book an instant
ready to give gift. When you can buy a gift for
under ten dollars and avoid the expense and
energy in gift wrapping and gift card shopping,
I fgure my book looks like a good deal (which
it is) and will sell enough copies to make me feel
good. The next step in the process was realizing
I was designing a valuable brand that could
encompass a myriad of subject titles, so I set
about protecting that bit of intellectual property
to sell later and then set about writing the book.
Trumpeting this volume as the Best Gift Ever
placed an additional responsibility to make the
insides valuable enough so the package would
be considered a worthy gift after it was read.
I tried to write clearly about stuff sailors fnd
interesting.
What did you fnd to be the most rewarding
element in writing this?
Tunks: Reliving experiences and reviewing
lessons was great fun. But more important was
the feeling that I was passing something along
in the way mentors have passed so much to me.
I used the word celebration earlier and that is
what the writing was abouta celebration of
sailing and that celebration made a fun party
for me whenever I visited my memory to select
a story to tell.
What was the most diffcult aspect?
Tunks: Purging typos and other errors was
a devil of a job, partially because I had to re-
read my stuff so many times and then each time
I wanted to re-write parts. Then with each re-
write Id introduce fresh errors. Illustrating the
book also was a new and interesting challenge
for me.
Will there be more Tim Tunks books in our
future?
Tunks: I labeled this book Volume One about
a week after it was fnished, thinking the next
one would be a lot easier with lessons learned
from the frst. I also flled a fle with story ideas
and outlines while procrastinating during the
writing process for this book. With my powerful
procrastinating skills, Im sure I can fll more
fles with story ideas while not doing whatever I
should be doing at the time. There will be plenty
of material by the time I get around to writing
Volume Two.
Lets plug this thing! Where and when can
people get it?
Tunks: Saturday, October 19 Ill be at the
Marina del Rey West Marine store from 10:00
until 3:00 selling and signing books and giving
my opinions and answers to any nautical
questions. At noon Ill be leading a seminar of
interest to cruisers and most sailors. I intend to
make it a fun time.
Sailing has been at the center of my life for the
last forty years. Ten years living off the grid
cruising Mexico, and another three dozen or so
years yacht racing have given me a great set of
lessons and that is what Im about these days
sharing lessons.

Oh my God! You study dolphins How
cool!
I cant begin to say how many times Ive heard
this. It seems what I do is something many
people dream about. The adventurous, romantic
life of a marine biologist, out in the elements,
investigating the lives of these magnifcent
creatures in the freedom of the vast ocean
I am fortunate indeed, and I wouldnt exchange
my life and career for anything, but people dont
often realize what goes into the job. For every
hour I log at sea, there are probably at least
fve to spend in the lab back on land. The work
is as long and hard as its rewarding, both on
and off the water, but the many hours passed
hunched over a desk as the clock ticks late
into the night, analyzing, writing, correcting,
rewriting, are where the less committed tend
to weed themselves out of the vocation
(Excerpted from my book Dolphin Confdential:
Confessions of a Field Biologist)
The number of emails, phone calls, and
Facebook messages I receive has diminished
a little in the last years, but they continue to
come with regularity. They are not only from
students; they are from people in all walks of
life interested in fnding out how to become
marine biologists. After spending over two
decades with volunteers and researchers both in
the feld and the lab, I believe that many dont
really know what it takes to get into and to stay
in this feld.
Here is my token advice for the aspiring marine
biologists out there. These are only my opinions,
and of course, nothing is written in stone, but
perhaps interested parties may be able to adapt
some of these steps and suggestions to ft their
own lives and circumstances.
First Steps
The frst key question one should ask oneself is
what am I really interested in? Here is where
it gets confusing because when people question
me about becoming a marine biologist they
usually picture a feld marine researcher, maybe
because that is my specialty.
Marine biology, in a nutshell, is the study
of marine organisms, their behaviors, and
interactions with the environment. It includes
many different sub-disciplines and consequently,
an array of potential career directions. Would
you like to be a microbiologist, an aquarist,
a behavioral ecologist, a system analyst,
a geneticist, a professor, or perhaps some
combination of these? There are many roads to
choose from and many organizations that hire
marine biologists, so having a fairly precise idea
of what you would like to do is an important frst
step in the right direction.
The next step is to ask yourself what really
fascinates you about the ocean. Are you
passionate about biodiversity on coral reefs or
algal blooms? Is the structure of soft-bottom
communities what inspires you or the feeding
behavior of critically endangered blue whales?
Try to construct a big picture of what
captivates you then narrow down your focus to
explore something that is feasible, either in the
lab or the feld.
But dont lose sight of your big picture. Not
getting roped into a specialization has the
So You Want to be a Marine Biologist
By Dr. Maddalena Bearzi
Dr. Maddalena Bearzi addresses the reality of her cool job
For many years The Mariner has been fortunate enough to have local researcher Dr. Maddalena Bearzi, cofounder of the Ocean Conservation Society,
as a source and occasional contributor. Dr. Bearzi has been studying marine mammals in the Santa Monica Bay for over a decade. During this time
she has written two books: Dolphin Confdential: Confessions of a Field Biologist that won the Green Book Festival Award and Beautiful Minds: The
Parallel Lives of Great Apes and Dolphins, which she co-wrote with Craig B. Stanford. This piece was originally published on the National Geographic
website and both they and she were kind enough to allow us to reprint.

advantage of keeping you fexible and more
responsive to a challenging and changing
job market. Your frst topic of choice may,
later on, morph into your real career, but
thats not always the case and may not
necessarily be the best road to take.
Its important to concentrate attention
on unanswered questions more than on
a specifc species. Its also a good idea to
be practical in your choice of a subject by
giving some thought to where and how
you plan to accomplish your studies. Its
imperative, whatever your topic of choice, that
you are passionate about it because it is passion
that will help you accomplish what you set out
to do, even if it takes pushing your limits.
Whatever you choose to study, you should keep
conservation in mind given the current range
of environmental issues facing our oceans
and their inhabitants. What will the cetologist
engaged in studying the migration of right
whales do if these leviathans disappear within
his or her lifetime?
Next Steps
Read, write and get experience. Its unlikely you
can read all there is to know in this discipline
but try to know as much as you can. Do your
homework, peruse the internet in search of
information, read books and, if you cant afford
to buy them, go to the library.
Study how scientifc papers are written because
this will likely be the output of your studies in
the future. Seek advice and help in the academic
world or through research institutions. Learn
how to communicate science! Being a great
communicator will help you advance faster and
further in a marine biology career, and may help
you reach out to the general public about marine
conservation issues if the need arises.
Solid practical experience in your feldor a
feld related to itis certainly key to becoming a
marine biologist. Being involved with different
projects, working on diverse hypotheses and
learning about different species and processes
also helps keep an open mind while gaining
experience beyond your selected subject.
Volunteer opportunities are offered everywhere
today and are easily found, thanks to the
internet. If you work well and are adaptable, if
youre willing to commit, if you are enthusiastic,
you might slip from being a volunteer into
acting as a real researcher. You may even fnd
the opportunity to write a collaborative peer-
reviewed paper, something that will help you
when entering graduate school.
When choosing a volunteer position in your
feld, inquire to see who are the experts in that
specifc discipline. Try to work under the wings
of these professionals and ask questions, get
feedback and suggestions on how to improve
your skills; this will help you get the right kind
of experience.
Traditional academic education is important
and going to graduate school, frst a Masters
program and then a Ph.D., is certainly the
way to go, especially if your goal is to remain
in academia. As a start, take all the science
courses available to you in high school and
as an undergraduate. Preparatory courses in
basic biology, zoology, chemistry, physics, and
mathematics are essential, but other courses such
as ichthyology, conservation, and oceanography
are also quite valuable, as well as those related
to your specifc feld. Then theres the study of
statistics; this is something you must know and
be good at and no, you cant get around it.
School, however, wont teach you everything
you need to know to gain knowledge and
expertise in your chosen feld. You need to
look outside the box and fnd other ways to
learn and acquire practical skills. Attending
conferences and workshops in your discipline,
visiting universities, museums, and research
institutions, meeting experts in your subject
area (who could become your advisors later on)
and asking questions, being part of email list
serves in your topic of interest are just some of
the things to pursue.
One Step Further
Distinguish yourself as an independent thinker.
Many people want to become marine biologists
and that makes this a highly competitive
discipline. A lot of people start toward a career in
marine biology but end up working in completely
different felds and almost everyone is struggling
to fnd a job in todays tough market. If you have
chosen to be a marine biologist it is likely you
havent done it for the moneyas there
isnt much in it anywayso you need to be
creative and fexible. Look for something
that your feld is in need of, something that
your peers are not offering. Learn practical
skills like scuba diving, boat handling, GIS
techniques, and statistical analyses that just
a few know. Push yourselves to work better
than everyone else.
The desire to study dolphins in the wild is
probably not enough to take you out to sea
among these amazing creatures or set you
apart from the masses. Its passion, enthusiasm,
and learning whats necessary to make you
stand above the crowd that will help you attain
your goals.

lot of you know that I was
private investigator for many
years here in the marina. What
you are about to read took place in the 70s
and was one of my frst assignments - and
remains the most interesting case in all my
years as a private investigator. Its funny, but
I was a Ghostbuster years before Dan, Bill
and Harold.
Happy Halloween.
It was Friday night and I was winding
up the hill in my blue MG - headed to El
Segundo to pick up a check. It was only a
little after 6:00 but it was already fully dark
and the cold drizzle forced me to put the top
up - something I rarely did. Between gear shifts I was jammin the buttons
on the radio. Sammy Johns was singin about his Chevy Van...nope dont
think so. Next stop, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Gettin Down Tonight...
disco hell was approaching. Cmon man Ive got fve buttons - gotta be
something out there in radio-land. Shift, push, Elton and Island Girl...
fnger hesitating - try another, Al Wilson, Show and Tell...I like it, but Ive
got one more button, lets go for broke. Jackpot! The Eagles, Best of My
Love Yesss! Downshift and a throaty purr up the hill.
I had been out of college about a year and had recently gotten booted
out of my frst real job. At the time, Jimmy Carter was runnin for president
and worried about the lust in his heart. I was having a similar problem
with the girlfriend of the bosss son - though my particular case wasnt
located much in the heart.
I wasnt too worried about being out of work. I was positioned high
on the eligibility lists of a handful of state and local police departments
and fgured Id have a couple to choose from in under a year. Still, in the
meantime a guy has to eat and pay rent.
A few weeks earlier I had answered an ad placed by one of those huge,
east coast security frms that were established before Lincoln got shot.
In fact, these frms once provided the services of the Secret Service,
F.B.I. and C.I.A. for the federal government. But by 1975 they pretty much
did what they do today; security, alarm response, personal protection and
investigation.
I was pretty squared away, could spell,
count to 20 without taking my shoes off and
write my name so they hired me, and stuck
me in a gold and silver exchange in Long
Beach. The dispatcher had tossed me a few
overtime assignments during the past few
weeks, so when Marty, the assistant manger,
asked me stop and talk to him while I was
in the offce I fgured it was just another
assignment. It turned out to be something a
long way from, just another assignment.
It was after 7:00 on a Friday night and there
were four suits sitting there waiting for me.
Two of them I knew - the third guy I reckoned
to be a big banana from the district offce,
the forth guy, I later learned, was from the
investigation division. My fle was open on
the desk.
Weve got something a little different. Marty said and he gestured to
a chair.
A couple hours ago we got a call from the corporate headquarters of a
restaurant chain. One of their restaurants. Don the Beachcomber in the
marina, is having problems. Someone, perhaps a disgruntled current or
former employee, is entering the restaurant after hours and vandalizing
the place. They want someone to stay inside - out of sight - after closing,
and wait for the intruder. Place the suspect under citizens arrest, and call
the sheriff. Well have our armed response units standing by as well. You
need to be there in street clothes by 10:00 tonight. What kinda gun are you
carrying?
Harworth, the Dispatcher, shifted uncomfortably - he knew the answer,
Smith, 357.
A lot of glancing around by the suits. Harworth stared at his desk. You
know, youre supposed to be carrying a .38. Who do you think you are,
Dirty Harry?
No, I cant get the glint and the finty stare right. But Im still workin
on it.
Marty looked at the top banana, saw him nod and said, All right, Ill
meet you there at 10:00. Youd better wear something loose to hide that
cannon.
I hesitated and looked over at my fle on the desk and understood

immediately why I was there. I was nearly 62, I had been a varsity shot-
putter, and my range scores, when I qualifed for my gun permit, indicated
something more than a casual relationship with a handgun. Though I
suspected the real deal clincher was that it was late Friday evening and I
was the only warm body handy.
I paused. Then Marty said, Youll be paid a bonus.
At that point in my life I could be bought...cheap. Besides, it sounded
like it might be fun.
From the outside the Beachcomber looked like the Jungle Ride at
Disneyland - lots of palm trees and big ferns, and of course a waterfall
with a miniature river running through the thick landscaping.
Id never been to the place before. I was more the Charlie Browns and
Donkins type - better music and prettier waitresses. The minute I pushed
through the two King Kong sized doors and saw the hostess I knew I
needed to reevaluate the waitress assessment. Theres just something
about a fowery sarong packed with a pretty girl.
Hi. Im here to see Don, the manager.
Looking down at her list, Do I have your name?
Nah, I dont think so. You dont look like a Richard.
Her head shot up, Youre pretty young to be such a wise guy.
Yeah I know - Thats what my frst grade teacher said. For a while
everybody thought Id grow out of it. I shrugged my shoulders, Guess I
disappointed em.
She fashed a killer smile and picked up the phone. After a moment she
said, Don says to wait at the bar.
As I walked away, I made a mental note to sniff around that tree later.
The bar was nearly empty. Dinner was long over and most of the
customers were on or around the dance foor. The whirling disco ball
splashed light everywhere and some Captain and Tenille clones were
singing about how love would keep them together... I was more of a
Motown guy - I was real sad when the Temps went psychedelic.
The bar was up a couple steps and around the corner. It was dark, except
for the huge fsh tank in the wall. I ordered a ginger ale from the Filipino
bartender and watched the fsh.
The bartender slowly wiped his way toward me. Hey, I hear youre the
guy whos gonna stay in here tonight.
Word gets around fast - so much for secrecy. I just kept watching the
fsh.
You know why they brought you in here? Beneath a wispy
mustache the guy had a snaggle - toothed, wicked smile - under different
circumstances I might have fxed it for him.
I bet they didnt tell you the place was haunted. He grinned, waiting
for my reaction.
The boss know youre drinkin the profts, pal? Beat it.
No, no - Im not kidding you man. You should see the stuff that goes
around here. He had the grin of a weird kid pulling the wings off a fy.
Say, I think the far end of the bar could stand some wiping.
Hes not kidding you. Another sarong clad waitress said, sliding onto
the stool next to me.
Why are you guys telling me all this stuff? I said, sizing her up - the
hostess remained in the number one spot.
The word has been going around that they were going to bring someone
in here to stay after closing and try and catch the ghost or whatevers in
here. There was a shadow of anxiety in her voice.
Lady, you know what Im good at? Mindin my own business. Maybe
you ought to try it.
Oh, come on! Everybody knew the minute you walked in and asked
for the manager. Are you some kind of exorcist or something. I saw the
movie - but you dont look a priest.
Good call.
Hey. Marty said, taking the empty stool to my right. I was getting real
popular. He was late.
I gave the waitress and bartender the look and they moved off.
Marty ordered something with an umbrella in it and said, So whats
up?
I flled him in. He was as perplexed as I was. Finally he said, Well,
there goes any chance of catching the guy if he has any connection to the
staff.
I nodded, But why the ghost stuff.
Maybe theyre trying to scare you off.
Could be, but why?
About that time, another Filipino in tropical garb approached us.
Hi, Im Rudy the bar manager. I understand some people have been
telling you stories. He glared at the bartender. But, you should know,
they are telling you the truth. He lowered his voice and glanced around,
Please dont tell Don where you heard this - but there is something
strange in this place. Its been going on for a long time, and its getting
worse.
Marty and I were about to question him when a waitress approached
and said that the manager wanted to see us in his offce.
The managers offce was in the back of the kitchen, and after the
introductions he motioned for us to sit down. He began to tell us of the
nightly vandalism. Tables and chairs piled up or moved about. Candles
lit, glassware broken, silverware strewn about the kitchen, doors left
open, and that the boaters, docked outside, often saw lights or candles in
the windows between closing and dawn. The sheriff was called several
times and had never found anyone. He said he was pretty sure it was an
employee he had recently fred. He wanted him caught.
Marty and I looked at each other. I deferred to him, but he remained
silent. So I said, Your staff seems to think the place is haunted.
The previously calm manager exploded, What are you two guys?
A couple of nuts? I thought the corporate offce was sending in trained
professionals - not a couple of superstitious idiots!
Marty stood up, Look, were just telling you what we were told. Thats
all.
Dons eyes bulged, Who told you? Who?
Look, Marty said, Maybe its best that you contact another agency.
Id be happy to give you a referral.
The manager slumped down in his chair and waved his hand, No, no.
Your man is here and I want to get this thing behind me. Stay a couple of
nights and see how it goes.
The drizzle had stopped and Marty and I stood in the parking lot as the
employees walked passed, to their cars.
Marty said, You see the way theyre looking at you? Like they felt
sorry or something.
Yea, I saw that look on my Dads face when he took our dog to the vet
for the big sleep shot.
Look Rick, ( he called me Rick - never could get him to stop) theres
something real hinky about this deal. If youre uncomfortable with it well
walk away.
Im here - Ill stay.
Youre sure?
Yeah.
Well, heres my home number. Anything goes down, you call me -
anytime.
I nodded, shook his hand and went back inside.
Rudy was the last one to leave as I stood by the door.
Dont let this place get to you. There are a lot of noises, compressors,

ellow boaters. We are at the height of the summer season. Not
only are you enjoying your boat, but a multitude of fast growing
organisms are too. They are thriving in warm nutrient rich water
and fattening very quickly. This time of year its good to call your diver
before planned trips or hauling out - even a few days can make a big
difference.
Tough areas for us to clean
Even though your boat maybe clean and ready for your trip, please
consider the areas of your boat that are hard for us to thoroughly clean
well.
Bow/Aft Thrusters
....are Hydro-Blasted every two months during the summer. This two
monthly cycle is a bare minimum and a lot of growth accumulates during
this time.
We scrape the blades as best as we can in-between Hydro-Blasting
cleanings, but reaching down the tunnel and in-between prop blades is
diffcult and best left to the machine.
Strainer Covered Thru-Hulls
Thru-hulls are common to most boats and allow ocean water inside the
boat, for toilets, bait tanks, cooling purposes etc...
A simple thru-hull is easily accessed and cleaned...however there are
different types of covers and designs on the external side that make our
job diffcult to access fow tubes, especially when the growth rate is at an
all time high.
Scoops, for instance, are designed to assist in water fow, when the boat is
moving forward. The supply tube is offset from the water entry point and
this creates an awkward angle. Divers can use something such as a bent
wire that can be guided into the thru-hull. But what use is a wire prodding
into a colony of unseen tube worms, it does little at this time of year and
rapid growth compounds the problem.
The same can be said for the circular strainer cover. The effectiveness
of poking wire through the small holes is limited. These covers are
essentially barriers and prevent thorough cleaning.
The only good strainers are ones that have hinged access ports that the
diver can open, which gives direct access to the thru-hull tube and a
straight shot into the thru-hull for simple cleaning. This access is essential
in the warmer waters of Southern California. We can clean the thru-hull to
allow 100% water fow.
Some strainers have very tiny holes and should not be used in heavy
growth areas during the summer. Even though the cover can be removed
to aid cleaning the thru-hull, the covers holes clog with growth so quickly
they block water-fow. Divers have trouble keeping on top of effective
cleaning.
Recently a Captain experiencing a slow water fow issue asked for our
help. After 30 minutes of diving and trying in vain to clean the thru-hull,
the Captain removed the internal hose and cleared the thru-hull from
inside the boat. This was the only effective solution to the problem. He
understood our diffculty, as hed had the same problem trying to clear the
thru-hull in the yard on his last haul-out.
Please thoroughly check all thru-hull systems and water-fow before
important trips. Remember..no water fow is usually a bag that has been
sucked into the thru-hull and is suffocating it. We are a phone call away
and can assist where needed.

This time of year gives us a few different
opportunities. The bluefn and yellowfn
tuna are biting to the south of us, the
local Islands are producing yellowtail,
calicos and a few marlin. Locally the
bay has rockfsh, lingcod and thresher
shark to fll up bags. And while all that is
happening, lobster season is underway
as of October 1.

Dont forget to get your lobster cards
and familiarize yourself with the
changes. Scuba divers and all other
lobster hunters must renew their annual
sportfshing license on or before January
1, 2014 to remain properly licensed for
lobster fshing. Theres other changes
too go to the Fish and Games website
to get the info.
As for bait unfortunately the squid is
not around at the moment but there are
currently anchovies and sardines.
Well, gonna go look for fresh mackerel
for lobster bait!

Until next time.Tight Lines

el Rey Yacht Club hosted the
2013 Ultimate 20 North American
Championships this past month with
an entry list of 14 competing boats from all
around the country.
While Fridays racing was nearly perfect- mid
to high 70s with winds around 10-knots from
the Southwest. Saturday, brought rolling fog
banks and 40-degree wind shifts. One minute
the sky was crystal clear, the next minute low
hanging fog would roll in and the whole world
including the race marks disappeared. Despite
the challenging conditions, PRO Peter Glick
pulled off three races.
After consistent racing by the top three boats,
Junta, Black Sheep and MdRs Toon Town (from
Del Rey Yacht Club), Sunday was a big day.
Sunday was a very taxing day mentally, said
Toon Town Skipper Michael Eisenberg. Toon
Towns starts really suffered. We were last off
the line in the frst race. Junta had sailed out
to a commanding lead. [But then my tactician]
knuckled down and started to call perfect tactics.
We rounded the frst weather mark in tenth. We
passed two more boats and rounded the leeward
mark in eight. Keith really pulled a rabbit out of
the hat, and with masterful skill calling shifts,
got us up to third at the last windward mark. We
had great downwind speed all weekend, and it
came through again as we passed one more boat
to take second to Juntas frst. Junta and Toon
Town were now tied in the lead. Black Sheep
pulled another eleventh.
Eisenberg and crew struggled in their next start
but once again found their way to a decent place
through skilled tacking and perseverance. Using
throw outs (eight for Junta, ffth for Toon Town),
Junta now led Toon Town by two points going
into the last race.
The wind piped up for the last race, and Toon
Town felt especially fast, Eisenberg said. We
started at the boat end, but pulled our frst over
early. After returning to start we were dead
last. Junta was in the lead pack off to the left
side of the course. Toon Town started playing
shifts to the right side, and by the time we got to
the weather mark we had sailed up to ffth. Junta
was buried in the feet. That is about how we
fnished and we both used race ten as our discard.
Junta had to keep their eight place fnish from
race fve and that was the championship.

L o c a l C u r r e n t s
ice machines - theres even a couple of stray cats up in the attic where all
the sound and lighting stuff is. I think youll be okay tonight. Its gotten so
I can feel when things will be bad - tonight it doesnt feel so bad.
Great., I thought, That makes me feel a lot better....Goodnight
Rudy.
I clicked the panic bar after the door closed behind him and turned
around. The place was quiet now. The loudest noises were the flters
and bubbles from the massive aquarium. The aquarium was also the
brightest light in the place. All the tikis, ferns, palms, thatched booths and
the winding, trail-like aisles made seeing more than a dozen feet in any
direction impossible.
To make matters worse, the building was built in the shape of a circle -
impossible for one man to search. Someone familiar with the layout could
keep moving in front of you - and, if he moved fast enough, could end up
behind you. I didnt fnd that thought particularly comforting. I unzipped
my wind breaker and ran my hand over the handle of the heavy Smith and
Wesson - I wanted to know right where to reach should that time come.
Rudy was right - there were a lot of noises. I tracked most of em down,
others faint and indistinct eluded me. After an hour I was satisfed that I
was alone.
The cooks had told me that would leave me a snack tray in the kitchen.
They did, but it was more of a buffet than a tray. I pulled up a chair to the
stainless steel counter and tried the Polynesian Chicken....good, and better
than that, it was free.
The kitchen was long and brightly lit. I liked that I could see anything
coming for a long way, and the tile and stainless steel made moving
quietly tough. I felt confdent that no one...or thing, could get close
without warning. I settled in for my feast.
Just as I was fnishing off the last of the egg rolls I heard a scraping
sound from the other end of the long kitchen - like someone walking -
dragging a foot behind.
I froze and never took my eyes from the direction of the sound. It would
stop then, after a moment, start again. I unsnapped the restraining strap
from the Smith and moved as quietly as I could toward the sound. The
sound grew louder until I stood at the door of the walk-in freezer - the
sound was coming from inside.
Probably something mechanical inside. I thought and reached for the
handle of the heavy door.
The door swung outward easily and a light came on inside. The noise
stopped. The freezer was crowded with boxes and crates. I stepped
inside. I had only taken two or three paces when suddenly the light went
out. I whirled around and saw that only a tiny crack of narrowing light
remained as the door swung shut. I jumped toward the door, hit it with
my outstretched hands and stumbled back into the bright kitchen. Another
second would have been too late - I woulda been a human snow-cone by
morning.
I whirled around but the kitchen was quiet and empty...just as it had
been.
Maybe this was nothing, but I resolved never to let my guard down
again.
I had only a moment to contemplate this when I heard noises coming
from dance foor - which was directly through the double kitchen doors in
front of me. The sound of footsteps and moving chairs and tables on the
hard wood foor was unmistakable.
As I moved through the doors I drew the blued steel revolver from its
holster.
I stopped in the small hallway between the doors and peered through
a small window in the door which opened to the dance foor. Moonlight
streamed in through the large windows, and also bathed the boat docks
outside in a gray-white light. I could see nothing moving on the wide
dance foor, but the tables and booths that surrounded it were in shadow.
The sounds of footsteps and moving furniture continued. Finally, I
opened the door and stepped onto the dance foor. The sounds stopped
immediately - nothing moved.
As my eyes strained to see into the shadows I felt a blast of cold air. My
mind was flled with memories of haunted house movies and cold spots.
Cold spots - hell... I thought, the front doors are open!
I crossed the dance foor and jumped down into the waiting area. Both
huge doors stood open; their drop bolts jammed on the walkway. Someone
had been inside and left in hurry - or had they?
In all, I spent 17 nights in the place and things got worse - a lot worse.
Another investigator was brought in - he lasted two hours - vowing
never to return. Then another and he also refused to return - saying he felt
like he was being watched and toyed with by something. Patrons ran
screaming into the parking lot. The sheriff came out a half dozen times.
People on the boats docked below saw lights and shadows. There were
paranormal researchers infrared cameras and seances, a mysterious
oversized cat, silverware being thrown around, candles spontaneously
lighting and shadowy specters - until fnally I was scared out.
On that crazy night, I ran like hell toward a phone booth across the
parking lot, as if the hounds of hell were on my heels, slammed the door
on the booth and was bathed in a saving white light. I fumbled some coins
into the slots and in a few minutes two sheriffs units pulled up.
They searched the place and found nothing - like always. One of the
deputies said to me, Were getting a lot of calls about this place. But
you know what I think? I fgure its just cats and wharf rats causing weird
noises and crazy shadows...maybe even the wind blowing through all
these palms and ferns. You know, peoples imaginations run away with
em.
I just nodded, numbly...not sure what was happening in there - but I
knew it wasnt cats, rats and wind.
The following night, I pulled it together and went back. But what could
I, or anyone else do? Marty summed it up best at the last meeting with the
restaurant executives. What do you expect Rick to do - handcuff it, stuff
it in a gunny sack, throw it into the marina and read it the 23rd Psalm?
The place closed down a few years later and has remained closed ever
since. I understand it is currently being demolished. In an odd way I will
be sad to see it go. I have been haunted by the memories of that place for
over 35 years, and crazy as it may sound, Im going to miss it; modern life
has too damn few mysteries.

Gizmo of the Month
Staysails on Small Cruising Boats
By Tim Tunks
oted naval architect Bob Perry referred
to cutter-rigged small cruisers as clutter
rigs. Anyone who has ever tacked such
small cutters in light wind conditions knows
full well how much an inner forestay can
interfere in carrying out an essential sailing maneuver.
Tacking is a clumsy operation that renders considerable
wear on the genoa when dragged across the inner
forestay. Unless you frst roll up a major portion of the
genoa or have a crew on the foredeck to pull the sail
through the narrow slot between the two forward stays,
it can be a questionable set up. However, the whole
picture changes if staysail and stay can be conveniently
stowed out of the way.
There are lots of manufacturers making removable
Code 0 roller furler setups that use Vectran or similar
rope as the combination luff rope and stay, but when I
was outftting Scallywag for her decade of cruising, a
used Mariner drum and swivel from Minneys had to serve my purpose.
My small storm-strength staysail had a 5/32 wire luff and an L.P. short
enough that the clew would not touch the mast when sheeted in hard.
Stowed in its sausage bag tied to the starboard lifelines with its sheets
attached, it was easily tacked on the Sampson post and hoisted on its
1/2 diameter Sta-Set low stretch halyard where it
performed several valuable functions.
Of course it was available as a storm sail, but it
also proved useful when spinnaker power-reaching
under autopilot. The boats tendency to round up
toward the wind in a strong puff was balanced
somewhat with the increased pressure on the
staysail, which pushed the bow away from the puff.
By the time the autopilot responded, the staysail
had already begun its work. On the other hand,
while motoring in light winds the staysail provided
the same steadying effect in leftover seas as that of
a reefed main. Scallywags staysail was smaller and
fatter than the mainsail with the third reef so there
was less fapping and it still provided enough area
to work like the tightrope-walkers fan to steady
our progress.
The last discovery was how useful the staysail became when Scallywag
was doing tour boat functions - motoring around photographing a race
or sightseeing. With just the pull of its sheet, the handy staysail could
be deployed and the mainsail cover could remain fastened - no need to
choreograph the folding of the mainsail with a cockpit full of passengers.

Dear Mookie,
They think my son might have attention
defcit disorder (ADD). Ive been reading a
lot of varying information about it. Some feel
its over psycho-analyzation while others say
that its a true condition that kids have from
the stresses of modern times. I dont know
what to think what say you?
Signed,
Hyper kids dad
Dear HKD
If your kid is like any other kid Ive met, then
hes got whatever you say that condition is.
Most kids are out of their minds and need
to be medicated at all costs. Have you ever
seen what they do to us? If you say there are
doctors that can make them relax, you should
go to those doctors do not haste. Gather up
all you can and drug all children!
