On the Harbor: offshore mooring leases, a hot topic

 By LEN BOSE

The hot topic around the harbor has been the proposed offshore mooring increase; on the other side of the spectrum has been our mid-winter conditions on the harbor with a dim light showing at the end of the tunnel.


I attended the special Harbor Commission meeting on February 1 regarding the proposed increase to offshore mooring. With a rough estimate of 100 people in attendance, on arriving I scanned the faces in the crowd, looking for people I recognized and respected for their opinions. As the topic was presented by the Harbor Commission to the public, rather than getting lost in all the big words and review of data, I watched the people that I respected looking for their reaction, how long they would stay at the meeting, and any comments they wished to present. Within the crowd, there were many new faces. I spotted 10 people that I wanted to observe during the meeting, one of them was my publisher from Stu News, Tom Johnson.

Keep in mind, that I am not a true journalist. I consider myself more like a seat-in-the-pants sailor describing the approaching weather. My observations on this night started with Harbor Commission Vice Chair Ira Beer reviewing the history of mooring rates within our harbor then reviewing the appraisal of Netzer & Associates for offshore mooring, followed by the Harbor Commission’s sub-committee recommendations. This is where I missed a wind shift. On entering the meeting, I was taken back by the attendance and was scanning the crowd rather than paying closer attention to Beer’s comments. I recall hearing the proposed increase and that it would be implemented over time rather than as one lump sum increase.

Looking over the crowd, I found the person that I told myself I would call the following day. This person is a mooring permit holder and stayed at the meeting longer than I did. I followed up the next day and listened to their side of the story. I could have countered their opinion with my observations, but I decided for the first time in my life just to listen to this person’s concerns. They made a clear and very strong argument regarding the appraisal recommendation that was grossly over estimated, and at the same time indicated that the mooring permit fees are undervalued at this time.

To quote my source: “The moorings have been mismanaged for as long as I can remember by the city. To just drop down a huge rate increase to fix the problem with one price increase is just unethical.”

Now this argument rang a bell – I realized I should have been raising the rent of a house I own annually rather than with one large increase to bring it to market value. I had mismanaged the property, so it would take me many years to bring it to market rate. There are many arguments for this comparison with the mooring permits, but my gut tells me this is how the increase should be implemented with a slight increase over a long period of time.

In my example, I was fortunate that my renters moved to Texas. I don’t know why anyone would want to move to Texas but that’s another story.  This allowed me to increase my rent to market value; maybe this example might be the format of some type of compromise. Keep in mind after my renter had moved out, there were many upgrades to my home that I had to complete before asking the market rate. What I am getting at is that I am sure there are many improvements that should be made within the harbor for the mooring permit holders.

This Wednesday night, February 14 is the next Harbor Commission meeting, where this topic is on the agenda. I am quite sure I will not attend this meeting because not being at home with my wife on Valentine’s Day for dinner will differently increase the rent at my house. This issue definitely has a resemblance to an arrow piercing a heart let’s just strive to keep a long-lasting relationship.

For all you boat owners, make sure you have inspected your boats recently. I have never pumped out more water out of my Harbor 20 than I did this last Sunday (Feb. 11). Last week, I called my good friend Harbormaster Paul Blank to request help to pump out one of my Duffy listings that the bilge pump had gone out. The boat was not at risk of sinking; I just asked a friend to help me out and a couple of minutes later a patrol boat stopped by to assist me in emptying out the water from the boat. What is the dim light at the end of the tunnel I referred to at the top of my story? I have long been bringing up the topic that many of our channel markers are not lit up at night. The other day I noticed that someone took it upon themselves and placed lights onto some of our channel markers that are desperately in need of illumination. A Bravo/Zulu is in order to whoever completed this task.

On the Harbor: a new year update

                                                                  


                                                                     By LEN BOSE

Welcome to a New Year which takes me back to The Who song, “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” whose message is summarized in the last line, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss” and its meaning is “nothing changes and so don’t get fooled again.” Which is a very confusing way to report on what’s going on in the harbor this first month of 2024. So let me backtrack before throwing a few soft punches.

I ended last week by walking through Basin Shipyard and took a moment to talk to owners Dereck and Dave New. As always this time of year, the yard is packed with Dave reporting that they are two months out. So, if you own a boat with outboards or Pod drives, you better call now and book your annual maintenance to be ready for the spring/summer boating season. The yard was full of new Tiara products, but I’m sure there were many other makes of yachts in the yard, yet the pretty ones always grab my attention first.

For most of January I spent my time in the Duffy Boat yard. Did you know that if you need to haul-out your boat while just leaving the boat in the Travel Lift slings for an inspection or quick repair, the Duffy yard can help you? There is other breaking news coming from the Duffy yard with three new maintenance programs known as “Duffy Care” Silver, Gold & Platinum being offered, along with a very generous trade-in program for new boats. If you would like more information, contact the Duffy Sales office. I’ve also heard more rumors that there has been an ownership change at Larson Shipyard. I really should check in with Abe Parra before commenting; I have noticed that the front office, facing PCH, is empty at this time.

Over at the City Harbor Department at Marina Park, I had a chance to listen in on a code enforcement update from Deputy Harbor Master Matt Cosylion. This is where our harbor is leading all other harbors in making improvements. The main focus of enforcement activities since the creation of the City Harbor Department, was to clean up and remove all the junk that was on the moorings. This effort has been a huge success, because no longer do I see derelict vessels on moorings with a fleet of junk tied up next to them, or the homeless sneaking aboard abandoned vessels. Cosylion reported a new focus on vessels with non-functioning running lights, so make sure coming out of these winter months that your running lights are working. I have always kept a spare back-up that can be added to my vessel should the running light go out while on a harbor cruise. Cosylion also reported that his focus is being placed on slip owners with nothing but overhanging junk in their slips. I have been using the term “junk” which means inoperable, unseaworthy and abandoned vessels.

After Cosylion completed his report, many who attended the Harbor Commission meeting showed their support with applause, which doesn’t happen that often, but was much deserved in this case.

The Harbor Commission meeting then moved on to the next item on the agenda to review an appraisal and discussion of rental rates for offshore mooring permits. The Harbor Commission works at the will of the City Council and is tasked with making a recommendation to the City Council. Before making this, the commission is holding a special meeting at 5 p.m. on February 1 in the council chambers and opening further discussion with the stakeholders. At the Harbor Commission meeting, many who were first to make it to the podium for public comments were making clear arguments requesting the annual mooring permit rate increases be adjusted to the Consumer Price Index as it has been since 2016. Some of the public understood that should the commission recommend a rate increase exceeding the CPI, a condition of the rate increase should include more wash down & maintenance docks, added dingy storage and any other features that help permit holders. Later during public comments, on this same topic, what I witnessed was an embarrassment. I would not call myself a skilled negotiator, but I know better than calling out buyers and sellers, and throwing personal insults at them is not a good strategy for coming to a working compromise. Yes, it’s fantastic these people attended the meetings. But before speaking and throwing personal insults, I would suggest doing your due diligence by attending more meetings and presenting a better argument.

Sea ya.

On the Harbor: 2023 end-of-the-year wrap-up

Photo of Jen and I for the 2013 Wrap up

By LEN BOSE

The customers ask me how long have I been selling boats. My reply this year has been, “Longer than I care to admit,” which is similar to telling someone how old you are. Well, I’m thinking the same thing when I count back how many end-of-the-year wrap-ups I have written. Some years, I referred to these stories as  “The good, the Bad & the Ugly,” “My 10 best stories,” “Looking back at this year’s highlights” and “Counting down my favorite 10 stories.” So, I am not going to tell you how long I have been writing these year-end stories. Let’s just get this party started.

Each year we must ring eight bells – “End of the Watch” – or when a sailor has passed away. This year was “Remembering Douglas M. West.” Go here to read it. For me, it was West’s personal touch, on topics he knew I had a personal interest in. He would meet with me for breakfast or lunch at his request. He was an extremely easy person to approach while sincerely considering many of my silly ideas. At the same time, I recall a couple of Harbor Commission meetings when he would firmly remind people when they were out of order.

I spent some time this year with Harbormaster Paul Blank. Go here to read Touring Newport Harbor with Harbormaster Paul Blank Part 1 and go here for Part 2.

In the first interview, Blank and I discussed moorings, pump-out stations, public docks, liveaboards, Caulerpa algae and so much more. At the end of this year, I felt I should check back in with him. Read “Catching up with Harbormaster Paul Blank Part 1 here and Part 2 here.

This second time around the harbor, we reviewed harbor objectives, harbor code enforcement, reviewing all that had happened in the harbor this past year and dredging, and more. I ended the interview with “I should get Harbormaster Blank to sail with me on my Harbor 20; I’d never miss a wind shift again!”

One of my favorite stories this year was “Getting to know Carolyn Smith, the new BCYC sailing director,” which you can read here.

“When I received the phone call, it felt super nice to be thought of for this position. This is a passion for me, so accepting this position was a no-brainer,” said Smith. As I was leaving the interview, Smith came up with the quote of the year. After I had told her this story would be running in Stu News’ Friday edition, she said with a huge smile, “Stu News, that’s where I get all my Newport news.”

I stopped by to see one of my many old friends around the harbor this year. Catching up with Eberisto “Abe” Parra, owner of Larson’s Shipyard. Go here to read it.

The real reason I stopped by to say hello to Parra that week was I had heard a rumor that he was retiring and closing up shop. When I asked him about this, he laughed and said, “I have been here 43 years and plan on being around another 43 years.” This was good to hear, because the last thing we need is to lose another shipyard from our harbor.

Mooring Issues and changes are always a hot topic each year. Now to the elephant in the room – a proposed pilot program to change the mooring system within our harbor. The history of the mooring system is lengthy, so let’s dive into the murky sand below the surface. Harbor Commissioner Ira Beer has been tasked with providing the Harbor Commission with a recommendation that can be presented to the City Council. You can read about that column here.

Meeting Harbor Commissioner Steve Scully reminded me to stay more active within the harbor. I was able to contact Harbor Commissioner Chairman Scully for an interview, and after I leaned back in my chair realizing just how much I missed this summer by not attending the meetings. The good news to report is that the Harbor Commission has been busy, and taking their tasks to hand by completing their objectives. You can read the column on Scully here.

This is the perfect segue to Harbor Commission goals and objectives, which you can read here. I wanted to take the time to update you on what the Harbor Commission has been tasked with in the upcoming year by reviewing its objectives and goals, along with any observations I made from the commission’s meetings.

Finishing the year on a good note, let’s go back to my column, “Recognizing our annual sailing winners,” which you can read here.

The top-shelf award at the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club is the Jon Pinckney Perpetual, which is awarded to junior sailors with the most outstanding racing record this year. This year’s recipients were Zarrin Harvey and Kingston Keyoung. I have never seen juniors more excited about receiving an award than these two deserving awardees.

The time sure goes by much faster when you are having fun, so let’s go sailing!

Sea ya next year.

Huntington Beach Harbor Commission



By Len Bose
I am sure most of you know that the City Of Huntington Beach put in place a Harbor Commission back in 2019 just before the Covid-19 tsunami rolled over the top of us.
Jump ahead to the end of 2023 and let's update you on the tasks of the Harbor Commission who are all involved, and how you can get involved with our Harbor.
For those of you that are unaware of the Harbor Commission in Huntington Harbor let’s start at the beginning. The duties and responsibilities of the commission are listed in the Municipal Codes (Municipal Code 2.65) designates that the Harbour Commission shall serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council in all matters related to Huntington Beach Harbour, its beaches, facilities, and parks. The Commission advises the City Council about Waterway Safety, General Infrastructure (e.g. seawalls, pier headlines, bulkheads etc.), Water Quality, and Municipal Code Amendments. The Harbour Commission also cooperates with other governmental agencies and civic groups for the advancement of Huntington Harbour and recreational planning under the direction of the City Council. The Commission meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 5:00 p.m. in Meeting Room B-8 on the Lower Level of the Civic Center.
Harbour Commissioners study, report, and interpret the needs of the public to the City Council and assist in securing financial support from the community for the enhancement of Huntington Harbour, its beaches, parks, and related recreational needs. The Harbour Commission also reviews the annual budget as presented to the City Council to advise them on the current operational needs and long-range plans for capital improvement in the Harbour. In addition, the Commission also advises the City Council on any other matters concerning the Huntington Harbour when requested to do so by the Council.
That’s a brief description of the commission now let’s meet the Chair of the Harbor Commission Craig Schauppner. I had a chance to interview him in November 2023. He grew up in Tustin, his father was a Marine Aviator and stationed in El Toro, Schauppner followed up in his father’s footsteps, he went to UCLA with an ROTC scholarship, followed by flight school and then blasted into becoming a Navy Aviator, he spent 21 years in the Navy flying airplanes. Moved around the world, when he retired in 2016 at that time he and his wife wanted to live on the water in Southern California. They purchased their first home in Huntington Harbor. “We never plan on moving, and plan on living here the rest of our lives,” Schauppner said.
He noticed a post on a social media page with the outline of why the commission was being formed and thought it would be a good opportunity to serve his city. “So I applied, and then selected to be the one of seven appointed to the commission. It’s been a great learning experience, and opportunity to serve the city while understanding how the city works”. Schauppner said.
There are seven commissioners all serving four-year terms with a total of eight years served. The chair and vice-chair are voted in each July in a rotation format with 1-year terms. Your Harbor commissioners are Schauppner, Vice Char Kimberley Milligan, Chris Nielsen, Van Ju, Diane Wood, Michael VanVoorhis, and William Larkin.
The commission has four objectives they form an Ad Hoc committees for each objective, with the approval of the City Council. These Ad Hoc Committees are as follows:
1. The Vessels and WaterCraft in which Schauppner, VanVoorhis, Wood. Their first task was to recommend changes to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to the small boat/public channel into Anaheim Bay between the ocean and the Pacific Coast Highway Bridge into Huntington Harbor. The recommendation is that only motorized vessels can navigate this channel, vessels have to be able to go 5 knots, and not stop within the channel. Their recommendation was approved by the council and then submitted to the Army Core of Engineers. This committee is now researching the rules and regulations for rental companies that use the public beaches within the harbor.
2. Water Quilty Committee: Is Larken, Milligan, and Nielsen. Their first task is to research how to obtain and maintain a “Water Wheel” or trash wheel. I would refer to it as a Flotsam Super Pac-Man that eats unimportant items; trash, odds, and ends. The harbor can use two of these Super Pac-Mans, one for the Bolsa Chica flood channel and the East Garden Grove-Winterburg Channel. All kidding aside, The Ad Hoc committee has recommended to the City Council the need for Water Wheels. The Water Wheel is a whole story within itself, and I am sure it will be discussed in future columns.
3. Policy: Larken, Miligan, and Van DuCity are starting the process of updating the city codes written fifty years ago for the harbor.
4. Infrastructure: Schauppner, Larsen, and VanVoorhis are on the Ad-Hoc Committee. Larsen and VanVoorhis are working with a city-wide infrastructure committee to include the Harbor needs such as bulkheads and bridges.
Schauppner explained how important the Fire Department has become ”With the Fire Department being placed in alignment with the Harbor Commission it has been a huge benefit to the harbor. With this alignment we have lifeguards on the public harbor beaches, patrolling the harbor with their boats, and all the efforts the Fire Department has made the harbor safer and more enjoyable for everybody.”
When asked what he would like to complete before terming out “ A water wheel, I feel we will benefit greatly at the Bolsa Chica channel. I would also like to find a way to get the state to use the money it receives from the Harbor, and slip footprint rent from the homeowners, back into the harbor rather than the state general fund.
Schauppner is very approachable, one of the best listeners I have ever met, and it’s quite obvious he truly wants to help improve our harbor.

On the Harbor: Catching up with Harbormaster Paul Blank



By LEN BOSE

 This is Part 2 in a two-part series


As winter approaches, I start to look back on the year and to prepare for the new year. Very similar to looking aft while sailing downwind in a sailboat race. Doing this will keep you aware of the changing conditions. With this in mind, I checked back in with Harbormaster Paul Blank this last week


Q: Can you talk about the Harbor Department’s (HD) objectives for 2024?

A: The objectives are as follows:

–Continue to improve the technology that supports our activities and operations allowing us to be more effective.

–Plan production of an introductory safety video suitable for posting on the city website, accessible on the MyNB app, and made available to rental concession operators (communications, safety).

–Further improve data collection and reporting including:

~Location heat mapping.

~Additional metrics.

~Improve formats for reporting (month and year).

~Complete a new application and receive a $175K grant from the Calif. Division of Boating and Waterways for the removal of surrendered and abandoned vessels from Newport Harbor.

~Replace the 2007 vessel in the HD fleet with a vessel that better meets the current department's operational and functional requirements.

Q: Is anything new going on at Marina Park?

A. The Harbor Department offices are getting some much-needed soundproofing. It’s a very active place with customers, constituents, and colleagues both in person in the office and over the phone. It can be very challenging to participate in a conversation or even just concentrate effectively enough to comprehend emails and other documents.

We also hope to implement a universal electric charging station for electric vessels here in the Marina Park marina. We are close to finalizing a contract with the vendor and are just waiting for the final signoff from the City Attorney.

We did recently have an overdue inspection of our firefighting systems down on the docks. We got a very good report from the inspection agency and are pleased we are prepared in the event of an emergency.

Q: Of your objectives for 2023, which one are you most pleased with in terms of results?

A: The most important objective achieved by the department this year was the elevation of six Harbor Services Worker and Harbor Services Lead positions to full-time. The people who serve in those positions are professionals who have chosen this work as their career. They deliver consistently excellent service and are dedicated to achieving the Harbor Department’s “clean, safe, and well-enjoyed” mission. It is a huge step forward that they can now call these jobs their “full-time” professions and not have to supplement their livelihoods with other part-time work. In addition to the dignity and benefits these team members now enjoy, it has meant significantly less of my time is spent on recruiting and personnel development activities. That time has been redeployed on activities that are of greater value to the harbor community.

Here are the three other objectives I am most pleased the HD accomplished in 2023.

–Establish rapport and open a dialogue with representatives of the Harbor Charter Fleet industry to promote best practices for charter boat operations in Newport Harbor with particular attention to vessel specifications, noise and pollution control compliance, and long-range plans for operations and berthing in Newport Harbor. (Clean, well-enjoyed, communications, community building.)

–Make full use of the $175K grant from the Calif. Division of Boating and Waterways for the removal of surrendered and abandoned vessels from Newport Harbor.

–Conduct Harbor Summer Summit recap in the fall after the very successful and well-attended Harbor Summer Summit in the spring of 2023.

Q: Has there been progress with Code enforcement this year?

A: The code enforcement team is firing on all cylinders at present. The team has distributed the responsibilities very effectively and is focused on their special areas of expertise. Their efforts have focused on stay limits in the anchorages, dye-tabbing of visiting vessels, and operability of vessels in the harbor. We’ve achieved the removal of a couple of unpermitted floats/dock extensions. We just received court approval to take nuisance abatement action on three inoperable and unsanitary vessels.

The code enforcement team initiated and is convening a Southern California Taskforce on Dilapidated and Inoperable Vessels. We’ve gotten positive responses and participation from essentially all the recreational harbors in SoCal.

The intent is to keep track of and alert one another on vessels of concern moving from one harbor to the next.

The group will also attempt to make codes, rules, and policies more consistent from the harbor to the harbor, so all visitors’ expectations are consistently set and they have a more consistent experience.

Q: It’s time for the Christmas Boat Parade. What should boaters on the water keep in mind, and how will the Harbor Department be involved?

A: The Christmas Boat Parade is an absolutely extraordinary event that brings joyful entertainment to more than one million people annually. The Harbor Department will be on the water all five nights helping to ensure a neat and orderly parade as well as ensuring everyone gets back to their berth safely.

All boaters are asked to do all they can to ensure that joyful entertainment is not marred by irresponsible action:

–If you are going to imbibe adult beverages during or in association with the parade, please do so responsibly and when safely back at the docks.

–Noise and light from your vessel can impair visibility and ability to communicate with other vessels. Please be sure you can see and be seen by other vessels on the water.

I should get Harbormaster Blank to sail with me on my Harbor 20; I’d never miss a wind shift again!


Sea ya.

On the Harbor: Catching up with Harbormaster Paul Blank



By LEN BOSE

As winter approaches, I start to look back on the year and to prepare for the new year. Very similar to looking aft while sailing downwind in a sailboat race. Doing this will keep you aware of the changing conditions. With this in mind, I checked back in with Harbormaster Paul Blank this last week.


This is Part 1 in a two-part series.

Q: From a distance it seemed like a quiet year, no oil spills, tsunamis, down aircraft. So what did I miss?

A: There were a couple of severe weather (wind and rain) events this year. We revived the technology we use to notify mooring permittees of approaching weather and urged them to verify their mooring equipment and lines to ensure all are secure. You may recall, that there was considerable attention and communication in anticipation of Hurricane Hilary arriving in August. One other of the severe weather events was a strong Santa Ana which stresses the mooring equipment from a different direction than usual, so we have significant concern about boats staying in place when faced with unusual conditions. All in all, things were fine and we greatly appreciated everyone’s preparedness in the face of these severe events.

A couple of other extraordinary emergencies we dealt with this year included two vessels taking on significant amounts of water and in serious danger of sinking.

Both vessels were wooden and both were of “vintage” age. Because they were in serious danger of sinking, we brought them to Marina Park where we could use shore power to operate pumps that kept them afloat while assessments and plans were made for their disposition. In one case, we were dealing with a less-than-responsible owner and the eventual outcome was that the boat was removed from the harbor and destroyed. In the other case, I am pleased to report a much happier ending. That boat was repaired while at Marina Park sufficiently to return to its mooring a couple of days later. That boat has gone on to pass a full inspection with the Harbor Department permitting the owner to live aboard.

Another emergency response involved an alert – Harbor Department team members identifying a significant amount of discharge into the harbor coming from the upland.

The location was near the BCYC and was not bound to the surface, so a containment boom would not have been effective. We contacted the water quality team who promptly came for an inspection and then began an investigation trying to find the source. After more than an hour of searching the water, the quality team identified the source as a broken landscape irrigation pipe on Newport Center Drive which was subsequently staunched when the responsible party was contacted. Fortunately, the runoff was nothing more serious than sediment from some landscaping.

Another incident that started out with potentially disastrous consequences resolved without serious damage or injuries: As one of our patrol boats was exiting the harbor entrance they witnessed a few jet skis driving in circles in front of other larger vessels. One larger vessel honked at the jet skier and kept moving. Five minutes later, we were notified and saw the same jet ski stuck underneath a large catamaran. The jet ski operator was safe with no injuries and the vessel also had limited marks from the incident. After assessing the damage, the jet skier hopped back on his vessel after it was dislodged and both went back to their respective storage locations.

Q: How about an update on dredging?

A. Three different suits involving two defendants (Army Corp of Engineers and the City of Newport Beach) are making their way through the courts. The ACE Colonel was here for a tour recently, which we provided. He seemed committed to resolving the suits and moving forward with the project ASAP. There is some optimism the suits will be resolved early in 2024 and the project can get underway in the spring.


Q: And an update on the Pilot Mooring program?

A: I am currently working on responses to the 14 questions or requests for more information the Coastal Commission made based on their initial read-through of the application.  The documentation I am preparing will amount to more than 1,000 pages and is taking a considerable amount of my time to compile.

It is hoped the application will get a second review with the Coastal Commission staff early in 2024. They have indicated they want to come for a site visit soon, which we will provide.

Q: Earlier this year you talked about training programs, and working with many different agencies. Has everything gone as planned, what have you learned?

A: The Harbor Department has engaged in a significant amount of training in 2023, both as a team here in Newport and with some team members attending training in other locations. Here locally we engaged in our own spill response drill right after Labor Day. The drill was a surprise that took place during a scheduled “All Hands” meeting and was very successful. We also did a joint training session and preparedness assessment with the California National Guard Marine Command (MARCOM) which proved very beneficial for all involved. 

The Harbor Department was also well-represented at the following conferences and training sessions:

–California Association of Code Enforcement Officers

–California Association of Marine Safety Officers

–Recreational Marina Association

–Association of Marina Industries (National Trade Group)


On Tuesday, Dec. 5, Part 2 covers: What’s new at Marina Park, Harbor objectives, and more on Harbor Code enforcement.
