‘Operation Dry Water’ targets boating under the influence July 3-5

Friday, July 3, 2020

State Parks Boating Program reminds people to stay sober while boating

The Washington State Parks Boating Program, safety advocates and law enforcement agencies are asking boaters to help keep everyone safe by not consuming alcohol or marijuana while out on the water — especially when operating a boat or paddlecraft.

As boaters prepare for the Fourth of July holiday, law enforcement agencies are preparing for Operation Dry Water — a nationally coordinated effort that focuses on boating-under-the-influence (BUI) awareness and enforcement. Boaters will notice an increase in patrols on fresh and marine waters across Washington July 3-5.

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, boating under the influence is the leading known contributing factor in fatal recreational boating accidents.

In Washington state, it is illegal to use any substance that impairs a person’s ability to operate a boat. The law applies to all boats, including kayaks, canoes, rowboats and inflatable fishing rafts.

Some key things for boaters to know:
  • State law allows law enforcement officers to require boaters suspected of operating a boat while intoxicated to submit to a breath or blood test.
  • Refusing to submit to a test is a civil infraction with a maximum fine of $2,050.
  • The penalty for operating a boat under the influence is a gross misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $5,000 and 364 days in jail.
  • Additionally, a BUI is considered a prior offense if there are later convictions for driving under the influence (DUI).

Boaters can learn more about BUI laws in Washington State and about the risks of boating under the influence by visiting boatsober.org.

Operation Dry Water is a national awareness and enforcement campaign focused on reducing the number of alcohol- and drug-related boating accidents and fatalities.

Save the orcas? Save the bees

Thursday, May 28, 2020

Did you know that 600+ bee species call Washington State home? Did you know that the majority of them are native bee species?

While none of our native bees make honey, or live in hives, native bees are the most important pollinators of wild plants, helping to maintain ecosystem diversity.

In addition, bees are essential to feed the world’s growing human population: On average, one out of every three bites of food people eat needs a pollinator to reproduce!

Bees also pollinate most of the plants growing next to streams that provide shade to keep our creeks, streams and rivers cool – no bees, no salmon!!

Want to save orcas? Save the bees!

By Marc Weinberg

Saturday, May 9, 2020 at 1:04pm there was an exceptionally low tide in the Seattle area. It was a minus minus 3.02 and the high in the evening just after 8pm was 12.17 which makes for a 15 foot swing.

During my sailing days that would mean being very careful where I anchored and to leave plenty of chain out to manage that swing and also make sure I didn't wind up sitting on the bottom.

This kind of tide makes a wonderful opportunity for beach walking and exploring tide pools.

With so much beach exposed it didn't seem to present any problem for physical distancing at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park.

Sunday and Monday will be nearly as low and then it tapers off.

The park is open but the parking lot is closed.

Dark brown to black. Male: 8' / 800 lbs; Female: 6' 250 lbs

According to marine biologist and Shoreline resident Marla Tullio,

"These guys are hanging out or “rafting” as bachelor males in areas close to local beaches.

"They will frequently use their fur free front flipper stuck up in the air like a sail or just regulating their body temperature.

"You may hear their characteristic “bark”  before seeing them.

"They are strong and fast swimmers federally protected, do not approach since they need their rest to swim and catch their food.

"They also can become extremely aggressive so keep your distance including your pets. Just enjoy them from a distance  or listen for them during a quiet calm morning at the beach."

The Cape Island sailed by today, moving quickly at 18 kn. Interestingly this vessel has been renamed at least twice.

"You could say she was ...drafted..." punned Jan Hansen.

The following information is from Wikipedia:

SS Cape Island (T-AKR-10) was originally laid down for commercial service in 1976 as Illinois, a Type C7 ship for the States Lines. 

It was launched and then needed to be used for military service and transferred into the Naval Vessel Register (NVR) as the USNS Mercury, as transport ship for vehicles, and other goods. 

The ship was returned to Crowley Liner Services of Jacksonville, Florida. 

In 1993 the ship was permanently transferred to the navy's roll as a ready reserve ship, and renamed Cape Island (T-AKR-10). The Cape Island remains laid up in a ready reserve state so that it may be activated in five days, if called upon. 

The ship is currently moored in Tacoma, Washington

Shoreline man could face vessel hit-and-run charge related to Labor Day boat crash in Edmonds

Thursday, September 5, 2019

A 48-year-old Shoreline man faces a possible charge of felony hit-and-run with a vessel after he allegedly left the scene of a two-boat collision off the Edmonds waterfront Labor Day evening.

Edmonds police spokesman Sgt. Josh McClure said Thursday that police will be referring charges in the case to the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office. Prosecutors will make the decision as to whether to charge the man in connection with the incident, which occurred just after 8:30pm Monday, September 2, 2019.

Under state law, leaving the scene of a vessel collision is a Class C felony. The man has not been arrested nor is he in custody, McClure said. There were no signs of alcohol or drug impairment at the time of the incident. Causing factors for the crash “appear to be speed and inattention,” he added.

Authorities allege the Shoreline man was behind the wheel of a 22-foot power boat when it struck a 28-foot power boat near the Edmonds waterfront Sept. 2. The collision left the larger vessel disabled, and a South County Fire crew was dispatched via Marine 16 to rescue two people on the boat, which was “dead in the water,” according to South County Fire spokeswoman Leslie Hynes.

One of the two people rescued was taken to Swedish Edmonds Hospital for evaluation of a head injury, McClure said.

State law requires that a boat vessel operator involved in a collision render assistance to those on board. But the boat operator did not stop and instead “fled at a high rate of speed” to the Port of Edmonds Marina, where he docked his boat, which displayed front-end damage, McClure said.

The man told police he didn’t stop because “he was scared,” McClure added.

The boat operator “made no effort to call 911 himself after he was knowingly involved in the collision. He could have reasonably stopped to render aid, which he did not do, or alert port security even after he docked,” which the man also didn’t do, McClure added.

Authorities said it was unclear how far off shore the collision occurred, but it was near the lane of travel for the Edmonds-Kingston ferry route. The Washington State Ferries’ MV Puyallup stopped nearby and launched a rescue boat in case it was needed, and the Coast Guard also responded, Hynes said.

Anyone with information about the case can call the Edmonds PD tip line at 425-771-0212 or email.

Safety emphasis patrols will target stand up paddleboarders Labor Day weekend

Sunday, August 25, 2019

State Parks Boating Program reminds paddlers to be safe

Marine law enforcement agencies on Washington state’s marine and fresh waterways will conduct safety emphasis patrols over Labor Day weekend — specifically targeting stand up paddleboarders. 

The goal is to educate them about laws and safe practices.

“Stand up paddleboarders need to know that as soon as their board leaves a designated swim area or goes beyond the surf, it is considered a vessel and therefore subject to recreational boating laws,” said Rob Sendak, State Parks boating law administrator.

What are the laws?

Every vessel, no matter the size — including kayaks, canoes and stand up paddleboards — is required by federal and Washington state laws to carry the following: 
  • Life jackets 
    • People 13 years of age or older must carry a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket in good condition. The life jacket must be the right size and type for the person wearing it.
    • All children 12 years of age or younger must always wear their life jacket while on board. 
    • Inflatable life jackets are authorized only for people 16 years of age or older. 
  • Sounding device – horn, whistle or bell.
  • White all-around navigation light – during low visibility such as dusk to dawn, fog or heavy rain.
  • Visual distress signals (such as flares) – required only on federal waterways.

“The law requires people to carry a life jacket. We strongly recommend people choose to always wear one, along with a leash, for maximum safety on the water,” Sendak added.

The penalty for failing to carry the proper safety equipment is a civil infraction punishable by a fine of $99 for each violation. For example, a stand up paddleboarder without an appropriate life jacket and sounding device could be charged with two violations for a possible fine totaling $198.

The Salish Sea Sirens were setting up for a promotional event on the Edmonds waterfront, when a mermaid from a competing pod swam up on the beach and posed prettily on a rock.

Our photographer, Lee Lageschulte, was there and took photographs of all the mermaids. Not surprisingly, the mermaid on the rock made for a better photo composition than the three who were sitting down, and bent over the instruments they were holding in front of them.

So let's start over!

The Salish Sea Sirens, one of whom resides in Shoreline waters, are a performing pod of mermaids.

Three musical siren sisters from the Pacific North West's Salish Sea, their services include musical entertainment, photography, mermaid sightings, and mermaid lessons. They will sell you a handcrafted tail and jewelry suitable for a siren of the sea.

On August 18, 2019, they held a family-friendly, free event in Edmonds at Brackett's Landing.

Mermaids Synfonia, Linyenea and Orla swam up to shore and spent a few hours playing mermaid music and meeting with the land dwellers and their children.

Mermaids Salish Sea Sirens will come bearing gifts, magic, smiles and hugs!

David Gladish: Why you should swim in Puget Sound

David Gladish and Kristine Kleedehn swimming in Puget SoundPhoto by Sarah Kleedehn

By David Gladish

It’s so cold! I can’t do it! No more!

Those were the words out of my mouth the first time I went swimming in the Puget Sound. Now, at least once every month of the year, my wife and I can’t wait to swim in the Puget Sound. So, what changed?

When I jumped into the often-frigid waters of the salty Salish Sea for the first time, I was completely underprepared. I had on a pair of swim trunks and that was it. My polar plunge lasted about five seconds before I raced back to the comforts of a heated truck and a steaming mug of coffee.

Wet suit, goggles, swim buoy

Swimming in cold water year-round takes preparation and the right gear. For starters you need a thick wetsuit. A wetsuit’s warmth is measured in how many millimeters thick it is throughout different areas of the body. 

My wife and I wear 5/4 mm thick wetsuits, meaning it is 5 mm thick in the torso where you need extra warmth and 4 mm thick in the extremities, for more range of motion. Our wetsuits have built in hoods and we wear foot booties and gloves on top of that. 

Despite the cumbersome wetsuits causing us to feel like the Michelin Man, in the dead of winter our uncovered faces still manage to feel cold!

In addition to staying properly warm, having a good pair of swimming goggles is essential. We also have a swim buoy as an emergency floatie and to make ourselves visible for kayakers, stand up paddleboarders and the occasional boater that ventures close to shore.

Our favorite place to swim is the Richmond Beach Saltwater Park. We start out from a rocky point that juts out from the picnic shelter near the beach and swim thirty minutes north to a seawall, then retrace our strokes back to where we’ve left our towels and sandals. 

Sunset at RB Saltwater Park

Every time we venture out, we find it hard to believe how lucky we are to have such a spectacular setting so close to home. It’s hard to find a more beautiful setting than this, with views of the Olympic Mountains and the surrounding rugged coastline.

Sometimes after a long day of work, often battling traffic and feeling exhausted, the last thing we want to do is go to the effort of pealing a thick wetsuit on, drive ten minutes from our house to the beach and jump into the cold water. 

However, post swim, the changes in our demeanor and the cleansing feeling of saltwater and fresh air are entirely worth the effort. We are immediately relaxed, rejuvenated, revived. 

It feels like we have found a hidden gem, so close to the hustle and bustle of busy city life. 

We can’t believe there are not more people swimming out there. Come join us!

Paddle Safe Week is July 21 to 27

Sunday, July 21, 2019

Paddlesports continue to grow in popularity, and so do fatal accidents involving paddlers. 

Since 2012, close to half of all boating fatalities in Washington state involved paddlecraft. 

Capsizing and swamping are the leading type of accident, and the leading cause of death is drowning. 

In many cases, victims were not wearing life jackets.
“Many paddlers don’t realize their paddlecraft are actually boats, and the same rules of the road, navigation and safety apply,” said Rob Sendak, Boating Program manager. 
“All paddlers are responsible for knowing laws and keeping themselves and others safe. They should seek out some type of formal instruction, whether it’s (from) a certified instructor, a paddling group or an online course. 
“In addition to getting educated, the number-one safety precaution paddlers can take is to wear a lifejacket — always,” Sendak added. “It’s the best way to protect their life in case of an accident.” 

Last month, Gov. Jay Inslee signed a proclamation declaring July 21 through July 27 as Paddle Safe Week. During this time, State Parks Boating Program will place additional focus on the following eight safety tips:

Get educated
Knowing about paddling safety leads to a more enjoyable experience. Numerous classes are available through local clubs and outfitters, city and county parks and recreation departments and online.

Always wear a life jacket
State law requires all vessels, including canoes, kayaks and stand up paddleboards, to have at least one properly fitted Coast Guard-approved life jacket for each person on board.

Carry essential gear
Essential safety gear includes a whistle or other sound-producing device (required by law). In addition, people should carry some form of communication device such as a cell phone (in a waterproof bag) or VHF marine radio (while on coastal waters). Other essentials depend on the type of waterway and length of trip and should be researched in advance.

Avoid alcohol and drugs 
Operating any vessel, including paddlecraft, while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or marijuana, is not only unsafe, it’s illegal.

Check and understand the weather
Paddlers should check the weather frequently before and during their trip, keeping an eye on current conditions and forecasts. Check warnings, weather conditions, wind and wave forecasts, tides and current conditions or river flows— and understand when conditions are beyond their capabilities.

Protect against cold-water shock
Many of Washington’s waters remain below 60 degrees all year — including lakes and rivers — even during hot weather. The biggest risk is not hypothermia; it’s cold-water shock, which occurs in the first stage of immersion. Professionals recommend avoiding cotton and wearing synthetic materials when a wet or dry suit is not available.

Be visible to other boaters
Paddlecraft sit low on the water, so it can be hard for other boaters to see them. The Boating Program advises paddlers to wear bright neon colors and colors that contrast, put highly reflective tape on paddles, use a flagpole and carry a bright light.

File a float plan
Before going out on the water, even for a brief time, people should always tell a trusted friend or relative their plan. Include names of everyone going, the route, what time they’re going and returning and what to do if they don’t return when expected.

From Columbia University

Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory's Office of Marine Operations (OMO) currently operates the research vessel Marcus G. Langseth that serves as the national seismic research facility for the United States academic research community.

The R/V Marcus G. Langseth 's unique seismic capability allows it to provide both 2D and 3D maps of the earth's structure miles below the seafloor. Utilizing the vessel's other capabilities, expeditions have collected sediment cores for understanding climate variations throughout the Earth’s history, sampled seawater for determining physical and chemical properties of the oceans, and deployed remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for studying submarine volcanoes.

Scientists and researchers from all over the world are encouraged to participate in research programs aboard the Langseth.

The R/V Langseth is a part of University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), an organization of 62 academic institutions and National Laboratories involved in oceanographic research and joined for the purpose of coordinating oceanographic ships' schedules and research facilities.

The R/V Langseth is distinct among ships in the academic fleet in that it is a designated National Facility. This status highlights the Langseth’s key role in serving a broad community by providing a unique capability to image beneath the oceans. Unlike other ships in the fleet, the Langseth science operations are reviewed by the Marcus Langseth Science Oversight Committee (MLSOC), which consists of scientists from the community and serves as a liaison between the science community, the facility operator, and the NSF.

Destinations: Whale watching from Anacortes

Monday, July 1, 2019



Text and photos by Wayne Pridemore

Wayne and Lucy Pridemore say they have driven by the Island Adventure whale watching office in Anacortes dozens of times.

Part of an orca pod

We decided it was time to give it a try and play the tourist.


Other boats were out on the water

The day was perfect, no wind and no waves, so it was easier to spot the whales from the large catamaran Island Explorer. The boat is almost new and very comfortable. 


Minke baleen whale

The first whale sighting was a Minke baleen whale. 


More orcas from the pod

We were treated throughout the four hour cruise to several sightings of Orca pods.




We both enjoyed the experience.

‘Operation Dry Water’ targets boating under the influence July 5-7

Tuesday, June 25, 2019

State Parks Boating Program reminds boaters to stay sober while boating

The Washington State Parks Boating Program, safety advocates and law enforcement agencies are asking boaters to help keep everyone safe on the water by not consuming alcohol or marijuana while when operating a boat or paddlecraft.

As boaters prepare for the Fourth of July holiday, law enforcement agencies are preparing for Operation Dry Water — a nationally coordinated effort that focuses on boating-under-the-influence (BUI) awareness and enforcement. 


Boaters will notice an increase in patrols across Washington from July 5 through 7, as federal, state and local marine law enforcement will intensify efforts to detect and remove dangerous and impaired boaters from the waterways.

“Every year we see boating accidents and tragedies that could have been avoided by staying sober,” said Rob Sendak, State Parks Boating Law Administrator. 
“Boaters have a choice to choose safety first, and stay sober. At a minimum, they should designate a sober skipper.”

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, boating under the influence is the leading-known factor in fatal recreational boating accidents.

In Washington state, it is illegal to use any substance that impairs a person’s ability to operate a boat. The law applies to all boats, including kayaks, canoes, rowboats and inflatable fishing rafts. 

State law allows law enforcement officers to require suspected intoxicated boaters to submit to a breath or blood test. Refusing to submit to a test is a civil infraction with a maximum fine of $2,050. 

The penalty for operating a boat under the influence is a gross misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $5,000 and 364 days in jail. Additionally, a BUI is considered a prior offense if there are later convictions for driving under the influence (DUI).

Boaters can learn more about BUI laws in Washington State and about the risks of boating under the influence by visiting boatsober.org.

Operation Dry Water is a national awareness and enforcement campaign focused on reducing the number of alcohol-and drug-related boating accidents and fatalities. 

As part of the campaign, emphasis patrols are conducted annually near the Fourth of July, a holiday known for increased boating activities and use of alcohol, during which law enforcement sees an increase in the number of boating accidents and fatalities. 

The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) coordinates Operation Dry Water in partnership with the Coast Guard, safety educators and local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission administers the state’s Boating Program, which provides leadership in recreational boating safety and environmental education and outreach. 

The goal of the program is to reduce accidents and fatalities, increase stewardship of Washington waterways, and keep recreational boating a safe, accessible and enjoyable pastime.
