Part VIII Cold Water and the North Channel By Jessica Zevalkink
T he w ater w as deep w ith am biguity, but black w ith clarity. T he depth sounder danced over rock s and boulders below , w hile corm orants played hide and seek a t the surface. If I focused on reading the depth sounder its inconsistency gave m e anxiety. It read as if we were oating over a mountain range. I rem inded m yself to look u p and focus on the channel m ark ers. I w as on edge about running into m ore rock s and still recovering from the dent I put in m y confidence from the last grounding. These waters are the definition of bipolar and change drastically hour to hour, day to day. T he w eather had com plete control over everything that w e w ere m ade up of. It controlled our attitudes, our m oods, our conversations, our route, our confidence, our hesitations, our physical comfort, our relationship with nature, and our relationship w ith each other. I had never been tossed around and controlled to that extent by anything or anyone in m y entire life. 12 Cruising Outpost

Part VIII - Cold Water & the North Channel find out that most people don’t choose to go ying or boating in minor s ualls and that we would be drinking well deserved cocktails alone. Like two old men. We drank. We ate. We sat on the pot. We fell asleep. And that’s what life was all about. The North C hannel We stopped caring about a lot of things that are known to be socially acceptable. Like clothes for example. Besides the fact that our entire Canadian experience had been that of an Arctic exploration, any moment the temperatures were suitable for nudity, we were nude. I became the designated fire starter although it was not my gift. Something about starting a fire naked felt more like a survival task than an I-am-in-Canada-on-a-coolrock-and-there-is-a-fire-pit-right-there task. Therefore, my desire for survival increased and I pretended my face was painted tribal and my warm clothes were not laying on a log behind me. Woman make fire or we will die and POOF, there was fire. In reality, I was scrambling around breaking branches, swearing, and blowing on the base of the fire until I blacked out. The soles of my feet were torn up from running around barefoot, climbing rocks and crouching in peculiar positions to avoid spiders. I found a beautiful black feather, a frog prince, marble-sized eight legged creatures, a raspberry patch, neon green moss to sink my feet into, an otter residency, and a water snake. A dense web stopped me dead in my tracks millimeters before my face broke through its camou aged dinner plate. uiet from the moment we anchored in the Benjamin Islands, atie and I had spent the day in silence, exploring alone.

Surrounded by a w ater w orld I understand now , as fem ale sailors w e are a special breed. We com e from different back grounds and our souls call for the ocean. We are com fortable w ith solitude. We choose to understand fear and at tim es chase it, a natural instinct and one that should never hold us back . We m ay not be born into the life, but our souls somehow find a way to a place that seems all too fam iliar. Whether at the lak e or on the sea, anticipating the m om ent when the wind fills our sails brings a smile. Where nothing is easy, strength and creativity seem to just ow like the currents. Inspired by the w ater and the liberation of that particular feeling sailing gives w ill forever have a place in m y heart. An outlet w here our souls set sail, w hether it is to k eep the dream alive, to w in a race, or to j ust sim ply escape for a short tim e, w e give hope and uplift others. F riendship and respect are m ore valuable than m oney on our turf. O pening eyes to a different perspective, on the w ater w e help each other. A fem ale sailor is a different breed, absolutely. Weather, or whether the situation, like the wind we are the first ones to tie our hair back , ready to see things w ith a clear view . Sailing has given m e a different outlook on life and how I see things. N ature has the answ ers to everything. N ot sw eating the sm all stuff, but to appreciate all the m om ents, all the im perfections, all the little things. I adm it I usually sail in a sk irt, functional and free none the less. M y galley is the siz e of a sm all closet and I require nothing m ore. M y actual closet is the siz e of m ost k itchen cabinets, yet it is all I need. I chipped m y front tooth on this sailboat w ith no dentist around for days. I eventually forgot about it, yet w hen I look into the mirror now I find character in the mishap itself, loving my im perfection because it is w ho I am . Lik e the ocean, nothing is ever perfect, yet we find ways to accept the natural and deal with the

elements, finding comfort in patience, knowledge in the struggle, and realizing the beauty behind it all: Sailing, knowing we rely solely on the wind to travel. Climbing up the mast feeling the energy of nature with a bird’s eye view. Swimming in the ocean to feel the weightlessness of space here on Earth. Discovering it’s not how we see ourselves in life, it is how we choose to see life. Humbled by each moment, I live each day with no regrets and appreciate the beings around me, all things natural that encompass me. I have grown a profound respect for Mother Nature since living on this sailboat and I am grateful every- single- day. Seeing the effects of ocean pollution, ocean life suffering, I search for ways to give back all that it has given me. Each journey tells me more and more that things need to change. Where nature teaches, if we can learn, we can change. Each of us caring, helping in small efforts, we can make a difference, this I know. All that is real is found in nature: the cures, the hope, the magic that is still out there for us to discover, a world like no other. A course all your own, it is not an easy life by any means, but that’s what makes sailing special, life special. It is a ride you will never forget. As I look out towards the ocean I must confess.... at sea I not only became a sailor, I became no longer a girl but a woman who knows exactly who she is, a desert soul that loves to sail the big blue and appreciates what nature has to offer every day. I became a woman of the sea that has wings to y and now, a soon to be mother. A precious soul grows inside my belly on this sailboat and I can’t wait to share this world with him.

cam era, the only thing standing betw een m e and the dark grey blur grow ing larger against a back drop of brilliant turquoise. And I w aited. The gaping white mouth was first to materialize, follow ed by tw o beady eyes trailing a m onstrous fuselage of a body. T his w as not your average shark . Instead of razor-sharp pearly whites extending from his m assive arced m andibles, his lips parted to reveal a sea of m ilk y w hite sk in, as soft and inviting as a cloud from a mile-high window seat. A disorganized array of white polk a dots stood against the dark g rey of his back a nd fins, and coupled with his docile dem eanor, gave m e the im pression he w as torn from the pages of a com ic book r ather than the set of J aw s. C om pleting the effect w as a rem ora w hose tail w riggled out at m e from a hole behind the anim al’ s eye. I bit dow n on the hardened rubber of m y snork el as I gulped another breath of air, shak ing off the terror from earlier, and think ing to m yself, “ WO W, w hale shark s are cool! ” T hese enorm ous, dotted shark s can grow up to 1 4 m eters in length and w eigh 1 2 t ons, landing them squarely
in first place as not only the largest shark, but our oceans’ largest living fish. They can boast upwards of 5 rows of m iniature teeth in their hefty j aw s, w hereas m ore vicious predators of the sam e class, for exam ple, the G reat White, only harbor 5 to 5. Where w hale shark s roam off the K enyan coast they are nam ed P apa Shilingi, after the w hite dots splayed across their back . T hese w hite dots are said to represent silver shillings throw n dow n from the heavens by G od in adm iration of his exceptional creation. It m ak es one wonder how this magnificent creature, this gentle giant w ho is adored by gods and dwarfs all the other fish in the sea, finds itself on the World C onservation U nion’ s ( IU C N ) red list as vulnerable to extinction. I feverishly thrust m yself up and over the stout side rails of the dinghy, still dripping w ith the giddiness of the encounter. M y husband sm irk ed as he glanced at the unrem itting grin w hich consum ed every inch of my face, barely visible beneath my oversized goggles. T he engine sputtered to life and he threw us into gear,

turning abruptly to follow behind our new colossal com panion. E ven from our respectable distance, the gray lum p of his body shim m ered in the sunlight beneath the w aves, m ak ing easy w ork o f track ing him w hile his snail’ s pace provided little com petition for our 3 .5 horsepow er outboard. Within m inutes his sw im m ing ceased and he reoriented him self w ith his at, rectangular head inches below the surface of the w ater and the long length of his tail stretched out directly beneath him . We cam e to a halt and w atched transfixed as he hung there feeding, motionless, except for the opening and closing of his gigantic m aw . F rom his vertical stance the w hale shark s uctioned salty m outhfuls of w ater, trapping m icroscopic plank ton against tiny tooth-like scales before expelling the super uous water out of his gills. B ut this behavior, this w andering of the oceans m ere m eters from its sunlit surface, coupled w ith low birth num bers due to late m aturity, are the prim e reasons these magnificent creatures are threatened. T hey are an easy target for fisherman and are hunted for the oil in their liver, the protein in their m eat, and the colossal size of their fins that could fill many a bowl of shark fin soup. They have been over-fished, caught in nets and victim to the disgusting practice of finning. I gaz ed dow n at the outline of this incredible creature through the placid turquoise of the sea; this creature w hom I had shared the w aters of his nutrient-rich habitat less than an hour before, w ho w as the w eight of as m any as 6 Nissan Pathfinders, who could have broken most of the bones in m y body w ith a single tw itch of his tail. It w as impossible to be in the presence of such a magnificent being and not be consum ed w ith respect and tenderness for a body so large, yet so gentle.

Luck ily for the w hale shark , I am not alone in m y adm iration. With the onset of ecotourism a m iraculous thing has happened; a w hale shark puts m ore food on the table alive than dead. In several locations throughout the tropical w aters of their hom e range, their w orth is no longer calculated by the am ount of m eat stick ing to their cartilage or the size of their fins, but instead, by the num ber of people w ith their heads protruding from puffy orange lifej ack ets paying good m oney to see a w hale shark thriving in their natural habitat. Along w ith the good there is alw ays the bad, and over the past few years there have been stories of abuse in the form of baiting and overcrow ding labeled under the pretense of ecotourism . H ow ever, as long as it is perform ed in a hum ane and sustainable m anner, k eeping the shark s’ best interests ahead of their price tag, ecotourism m ay have a substantial im pact on the recovery and preservation of the whale shark population over the next few decades. Cruising Mexico’s Sea of C ortez on our 3 6 -foot C ascade has been a course in terrestrial and m arine biology; from frigates and blue footed boobies to an unparalleled diversity of fish, w ild j um ping rays, and an unfortunate num ber of bees that ock to any fresh water you m ay have naively left on board w hile you scam pered off to shore. B ut w hen I think back to that day, the day a gentle giant allow ed m e to share his w atery hom e, m y breath still catches in m y throat and I can alm ost m ak e out the silvery outline of his body slipping beneath m e in the cool w aters of the Sea. My only hope is that years from now, fellow cruisers meandering down to the Sea of Cortez will lean over their stout lifelines and w itness the w hale shark ’ s shillings still shining beneath the w aves.

T he only thing better than sailing aw ay on a beautiful voyage is to inspire som eone else to sail aw ay on a beautiful voyage. M y good friends C raig and D ana had frequently j oined m e for cruises aboard m y C atalina 3 4 , U k i y o, w here I regaled them w ith innum erable tales of how great the sailing life is. B elieve m e, I did this w ith all the accom panying blem ishes: dragging anchors, ripped genoas, engine failures; all w ere included in the dialog to present a balanced overview of the life a oat. And, I added with alacrity, the best boat to sail will always be a friend’s boat like you’re doing now. B ut it w as obvious m y w ords of caution held no sw ay, they w ere sm itten w ith sailing, even j oining
me for work days in the boat yard. And one fine day I received an em ail from D ana saying that they had purchased a 1 9 84 H unter 3 7 i n C onnecticut, and christened her H y p ati a. After a uick sell off of their land-based assets C raig, D ana, and dogs m oved aboard and began riding the steep learning curve that sailors k now so w ell. T he em ails w ith attached photos cam e frequently, ask ing advice on hull blisters, undersiz ed anchors, autohelm s and rusted exhaust elbow s. I replied the best I could, adm iring their pluck and enthusiasm as they tack led the long to-do list, determined to spend summer 5 in the islands of M aine. In M ay I pack ed m y foulies, bought an airline tick et, and headed north to get them started on

16th Annual Miami Strictly sail Cruisers’ Party
T
he M iam i Strictly Sail Show is one of the very first Cruisers’ Parties we hosted, and it also holds the record for the largest Cruisers’ Party we’ve ever hosted. This year an estimated 7 people attended the annual event, and the folks at the NMMA, who helped host the event, gave us a little more room to spread out. The weather was perfect and everything just seemed to click into place with a lot of work by ody, the staff and the volunteers . The Eric Stone Band came up from his Dockside Tropical Cafe to handle the entertainment once again, and he had the cruisers on their feet most of the night. The free beer lasted all evening, and the 5 pizzas turned out to be just the right amount, with the last slices being handed out just as the last people in line came thru. It was perfect.
The Spectra Watermaker was the top prize for the raff le and once again was donated by the good folks at Halden Marine Services. There were plenty of other great prizes including a Spot from Sea-Tech Systems, and dozens of other great prizes donated by the exhibitors at the Strictly Sail Show. The proceeds from this event went to the Educational Tall Ship Foundation who are building the ’ tall ship M atthew T urner. This event would not be possible without the help of our cosponsors: Sunsail, Copper Coat, Fortress Anchors, ltra Marine West uickline , Halden Marine Services, Spectra Watermakers, Mack Sails, Beta Marine, Tradewinds Radio and the folks at Miami Strictly Sail. We are all looking forward to next year’s event at the new location on Virginia ey.

from Capt’n Pauley’s Workshop There are a lot of little things that c an mak e your boat easier to use and more enj oyable. H ere are some tip s f rom Paul Esterle, the author of C ap t’n Pauley’s W ork shop . More c an be f ound at www. c ap tnp auley. c om.
Installing a Hatch Vent With the exception of liveaboards, m ost boats are left closed up for days and w eek s at a tim e. Som e for m onths off-season. It is a sad fact boaters have to live w ith. P roper ventilation is a m ust to k eep dow n m old, m ildew and condensation. H ere is an effective w ay to provide ventilation and help k eep m old and m ildew from tak ing over the boat. Y ou can add solar pow ered vents w herever possible. T his exam ple is of one prim e location, w hich is a natural, on the top of an opening port. B ut you can use these sam e sim ple steps to add m ore solar vents depending on your boat’ s layout. T he beauty of these are the fact that solar pow ered vents have a rechargeable battery that charges during the day and k eeps the vent running at night. So it w ork s w hile you are aw ay from your boat and there is nothing that has to be turned on or off. It’ s all autom atic.

t didn’t seem like such a big deal. We’d own into the British Virgin Islands a couple days early for the Cruisers’ Party we were throwing on Cane Garden Bay. Our Granddaughter, Tabitha, had arranged for us to spend a couple nights at this great resort, Scrub Island, which she’d been filming at a month or so earlier for her TV show Private Islands. I guess you could call it a perk for having a beautiful and talented granddaughter. Prejudiced Me No way Anyway, we had not been sailing in uite awhile. Boat show season didn’t allow for such luxuries and I have to admit, after 5 years living aboard L ost S oul, I missed it. But I didn’t realize how much until our friends, Tom and Sharon Brownell, offered to give us a ride to Tortola from Scrub Island on D i stant S tar, their Hylas 5 cutter. They’d pulled in a day or two early and we saw their boat tied up at the dock when we arrived. So we spent a couple days enjoying the luxury of Scrub Island. We felt about as decadent as one could feel. As I like to say, I can’t recommend decadence as a way of life, but it’s worked for me
