That means I am recording VSCs done by Dave and Dane today. Don't forget to mail your completed VSC forms to me or give them to me at the dinner meeting. Another chance to do VSCs is this weekend at the Des Moines Marina's Safety on the Sound event. Jackie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is a joint rendezvous with the Bremerton Sail and Power Squadron but the primary purpose is for us to perform some real important community service. On Saturday we will be escorting the 10 mile Sound Rowers Race for human powered boats. We did this last year and had a really a good time helping them out. The details of the rendezvous are on page 11 of the June edition of the Pirates Log. It is simple. We have plenty of space reserved at Port Orchard marina. We will have heavy hors d'oeuvres on Friday followed by an organization meeting for the race logistics. Right now we only have 4 boats signed up and we need at least 6 (8 would be better). This is because the rowers really spread out over the course because of widely varying speeds. I know Sunday is Father's Day but don't let that hold you back. If you want to come Friday night and head back home after the race on Saturday it would be ok. Last year the race was over around 1200 and several boats left the rendezvous at that point. Please get back to me ASAP if you can make it. I know you would enjoy the fellowship with the folks from Bremerton and gain a lot of satisfaction by performing the safety escort service. Either email me or give me a call if you can help out. Thanks, Jack Green 253.835.8076 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But to ensure safety, the U.S. Coast Guard has issued boating regulations that will be in effect during the maritime event. The regulations will apply to the Foss Waterway, Commencement Bay along Ruston Way and Quartermaster Harbor on Vashon Island. Generally, from June 30 to July 7, there will be a 50-yard moving safety zone around every tall ship while it's underway in Puget Sound. No unauthorized vessels may enter that safety zone. At all times while the tall ships are sailing in Commencement Bay, they will be escorted by volunteer security boats. The 50-yard safety zone will continue each day during the sailing adventures and while the boats are moored in the Foss Waterway. Marina tenants will still be allowed to depart or return to their slips as long as they adhere to the safety zone. Periodically, festival security boats may stop boat traffic in the Foss Waterway while one of the tall ships maneuver into its berth, but the interruptions aren't anticipated to last very long. In addition, specific regulations will affect certain areas during the event: Quartermaster Harbor, Vashon Island: A safety zone will be enforced from 7 a.m. to about 6 p.m. July 3 as the tall ships prepare to depart for the Parade of Sail. No boats will be allowed to transit Quartermaster Harbor during that time without permission from the U.S. Coast Guard's Captain of the Port, Puget Sound. The safety zone begins at a line crossing the harbor entrance at Manzanita Point near the red navigation aid No. 2 and extends to the north end of the harbor. Boats attempting to enter the harbor during that time will be turned away. Ruston Way: A safety zone along Ruston Way will be enforced from 7 a.m. to about 6 p.m. July 3 during the Parade of Sail, which extends from the Tacoma Yacht Club southeast for 4 nautical miles along Ruston Way to the entrance of the Foss Waterway and out 400 yards from shore. During that time, no unauthorized boats of any size or propulsion will be allowed to enter, be underway, be anchored, or be tied to any log boom or buoy within the safety zone. A boat may remain tied to a permanent moorage or dock within the zone, but it may not depart that moorage while the safety zone is in effect. Boaters who plan to tie to a log boom or anchor in the vicinity of the Freedom Fair air show and fireworks display on July 4 should be aware of the new safety regulations that are in effect on July 3. For more information about boating regulations, call Bob Watson, Tall Ships Tacoma director of Public Safety, at 253-272-5650.
