Commander's Comments
In my last Comments column, I made an appeal for volunteers for the new Bridge to be sworn in in May. The response has been excellent, particularly from new members. I’m confident that we can replace all the members who are retiring from the Bridge this year. My thanks and the Squadron’s thanks to all volunteers! |
|
While on the subject of volunteers, our Squadron has again been asked to operate the “Gate” at the Sidney Boat Show which runs from April 24th to 27th inclusive. For this event we will need about forty (40) volunteers to cover the fours days, operating in teams of two or three persons. This works out to one tour of about two and one half hours per person per shift. Jackie Levi and her team will be e-mailing and telephoning for volunteers soon. Apart from selling tickets, you get a chance to look at the boats, so….when the call comes please say “Aye, Aye”!
Finally, you will see on page 11 of this publication, the notice for the Squadron Annual General Meeting which will be held at the Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club on May 5, 2003. We look forward to a large turnout to welcome and meet the new Bridge, some of whom are new members of the Squadron.
Ken Reeves, Commander
Commander's Sailpast
 |
An invitation is extended to all Squadron members to participate in the Squadron Commander’s Sailpast which will be on Saturday, June 7th 2003 at 1400 hours. You and your children are encouraged to attend. The exact location of the Sailpast has not yet been determined but it will be where all the members have a chance to get in their boats and sail or motor by. We will then meet back at Saanich North Sidney Yacht Club for dinner. |
Last year the Sailpast was cancelled but the dinner attracted 30-40 people. Further details of this fun day will be posted in the May/June issue of the Beacon you will see on page 11 of this publication, the notice for the Squadron Annual General Meeting which will be held at the Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club on May 5, 2003. We look forward to a large turnout to welcome and meet the new Bridge, some of whom are new members of the Squadron.

Meet The Bridge Ralph Hodd - Editor
I was born on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in a little dot on the map called Harrington Harbour, (Lat 50 50’ N Lo 59 15’ W), population 500 on a good day. Harrington Harbour is a group of small islands where life is dictated by the weather and the sea. My father was the local doctor plying 300 miles of the coast, by boat in the summer and by dog team in the winter. I played in small boats in the summer and jumped on saltwater pans better known as “belly-katters” in the winter. Life revolved around the sea. |
|
When I was ten years old, my father decided to not renew his contract with the Grenfell Mission and we moved to Blyth, Ontario. This was a totally new experience for me. I saw my first sugar maple tree and I swam in Lake Huron every summer. However, four years after moving to Ontario, my father relocated back to Harrington where he remained as the doctor until he retired at age 72. I, however, was to leave for boarding school at the tender age of fourteen as there was only a primary school in Harrington. My teen-age summers were spent in Harrington, most of the time in boats and working summer jobs.
My next opportunity to be on the water didn’t come until I was well into my thirties, when I acquired a wonderful, twin keel, Westerley, Centaur. She was a great little boat that I bought in St. Anthony, Newfoundland one summer and sailed down the east coast of Newfoundland to St. Johns; with no more than a road map and a book of harbour information. The weather was wonderful and we - the previous owner, my son and myself – sometimes sailed at night. It took six days! When we crossed Conception Bay, the radio announced that Margaret Trudeau was pregnant for the first time - “a coincidence,” you say? From there I shipped her out to Lake Ontario where I spent seven years sailing around, with one memorable trip through the Thousand Islands.
The boat was replaced by a hobby farm north of Toronto, and the only contact I was to have with the sea would be on rental sailboats, complete with skippers, when Joyce and I went on vacation. We enjoyed sailing very much. Joyce’s first ever encounter with sailing was when we went on our honeymoon to the Greek Islands in the Aegean Sea. I took an awful chance inviting a “land lubber” for two weeks on a 42 foot sailboat. But, all the Greek gods were with me on that trip and Joyce also fell in love with sailing.
Our dream was to move to Vancouver Island and to buy a sailboat. Our dream has come true. You can see a picture of Smilin’ Seagull at the squadron website www.saanichpeninsulasquadron.org under “Boats and Owners”.
Joyce and I are pleased to produce the Beacon for the Squadron. This is truly a joint effort, with Joyce doing the editing, layout, paste-up, and coordinating of articles. My efforts include information gathering, printing, circulation and mailing. Between the two of us we expend approximately 30 hours every issue. I hope you enjoy reading the Beacon as much as we enjoy producing it.

Spring 2003 - Student Cruise
Well I think we all thought the cruise would be cancelled, looking out side on that Saturday evening before the Spring Cruise. I, myself thought of canceling the cruise before I spoke with Doug Mitchell who had a little more faith in the weather than I. Sunday morning the weather was much improved - a little rain, and even that stopped shortly after we were underway, with only a few light showers throughout the day.
Our fire extinguisher lesson that is normally done in conjunction with the Pender Island Volunteer Fire Department and Cliff Cunningham was cancelled by the Fire Department, as they were lacking volunteers. We are hoping that this is only a one time only occurrence.
I would like to thank Ken and Joan Clarke for there docking instructions, and Bill and Gay Miller for there anchoring demonstration.
A special "Thanks" to all the Skippers and Proctors for donating their time and their vessels.
"Thank You" all those people who donated their time and support to make the Spring 2003 Student Cruise such a success.

This month’s educational article is a quiz on “weather terms” taken from the CPS Fundamentals of Weather course. If you have any difficulty answering these questions correctly, this excellent course is available to you. Unfortunately the last one had to be postponed due to a lack of sufficient registration but it will be offered again.
Answers to the quiz can be found on page 15.

| ON THE LIGHTER SIDE |
|
A young man named Jack received a parrot as a gift from an old sea captain who died. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, racist, sexist or profane. Jack tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, and anything he could think of to teach the bird some manners, but no matter what he did, nothing worked.
Finally, one day, Jack got fed up with the bird and yelled at it. The bird yelled back. Jack shook the parrot, the bird got angrier and ruder and swore at Jack calling him rude names. In a moment of desperation, Jack said “I can’t put up with this any longer, into the brig with you! Maybe that is something you will understand” and he put the bird in the refrigerator freezer on top of the frozen food. For a few minutes, Jack heard the bird squawk, kick and scream.....then suddenly there was quiet. Not a peep for over a minute.
Fearing that he had hurt the bird, Jack opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Jack's arm and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and demeanor. I am truly sorry, and I will do everything to correct my poor behavior."
Jack was astonished at the bird's change of attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had brought about this dramatic change of behavior, the bird continued, "May I respectfully ask what the chicken did?"

Plan to Come Cruising
Our 8th annual shakedown cruise with other boaters takes place this coming Easter Weekend. Bring along a ceramic heater if your boat doesn’t have a furnace, and an extension cord to hook up to shore power. |
|
This is your opportunity to meet up with the nicest people! Sure, we are a bit crazy, going out on the waters this early, but we can attest to the fact that the weather usually co-operates. We usually have cool but sunny days. You will be glad you came along! For those who haven’t ventured far from Sidney, let us know, we would be happy to travel together en route.
The plan is to go to Genoa Bay Marina for Friday night, April 18th and Telegraph Harbour (Thetis Island) Saturday & Sunday nights, April 19th & 20th .
For those who wish to do so, book dinner at the Grapevine Cafe for Friday night. We will have a Pot Luck supper on Saturday night for those who wish to participate. Sunday we will do our own thing, on our own boat, for dinner.
For those who don’t want to miss church, there are several members who walk up to the community church for the Easter service. Also, those who must work on Monday will head back to Sidney a day earlier. (Sunday)
If you are interested in joining us for this early cruise, I would appreciate a phone call 656-5190 or e-mail ctime@telus.net so we will have some idea of attendance.
Due to the Marinas’ policies of booking ahead and prepaying, you will be responsible for calling them to arrange moorage, on your own. Don’t leave it too late, or you may not get a spot. Also, the restaurant is very popular, so you need to book well in advance to be sure to get dinner there. It is wonderful!

Training Department...Quiz Answers
1) Advection Fog: Fog caused generally by the transportation of warm, moist air over a cold surface but, less commonly, can also form by cold air flowing across a warmer water surface. This fog will not disperse with the sun’s heat but will exist in winds up to 12 knots or if a wind shift changes the direction of the warm air flow.
2) Radiation Fog: Fog caused when the lower layers of the air are cooled to the dew point, by contact with a surface which is radiating heat back into space after sunset. In a complete calm, only dew will form, but with a light breeze, the resultant mixture will create a shallow layer of fog. This fog will lift into low stratus cloud or even disperse with more than a few knots of wind or the warming effect of the sun heating the ground.
| 3) Sea Breeze: A local wind which blows from water to land, caused by a circulation set up by daytime heating of the land surface causing air to rise, the air being replaced by air drawn from over the sea. |
|
| 4) Land Breeze: The reverse of a sea breeze. Rapid cooling of the land after sunset creates a relatively higher pressure (cooled air is denser and as a consequence heavier) and a weak flow of air from land to sea. |
5) Coriolis Effect: The apparent deflection of wind due to the rotation of the earth. The effect varies with the speed of the wind and also with latitude, being zero at the equator. The deflection is to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This is why in the Northern Hemisphere air trying to enter a low pressure area is deflected to the right, generating an anticlockwise motion and air trying to leave a high pressure area, also being deflected to the right generates a clockwise motion. This low and high pressure wind direction is reversed in the Southern Hemisphere.
6) Occlusion: A term used when the cold front of a depression catches up with the warm front, squeezing the warm sector clear of the surface.
