Page 48 • Latitude 38 • July, 2010 LATITUDE / RICHARD LETTERS Unfortunately, the USDA pamphlet contained no list of which foods had to be thrown away and which could be kept. And if you call the California number for the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service at (310) 725-1949 — as we dutifully did at 3:18 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon — you're likely to get a message, as we did, that tells you, sorry, nobody is there to help you at that time, but if you'll leave a number after the beep, they'll surely get back to you sooner or later. Unfortunately, immediately after the beep there was another message that said the machine couldn't take messages. Way to go, USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service! For the record, these are the rules under the MARPOL Treaty: If you're 25 miles offshore, the only thing you can't throw in the ocean is plastic. If you're 18 to 25 miles offshore, it's also illegal to dump dunnage and lining materials that float. If you're 3 to 12 miles offshore, you also can't dump paper, rags, glass, The list of foods you can't bring back to the States is listed . . . er, nowhere on the special USDA pamphlet. crockery, metal, food and plastic — unless it's been ground up to pieces smaller than one square inch. If you're less than three miles from shore, you can't throw any of the stuff overboard. And forget discharging oil anywhere at sea. The Profl igate Treaty states that you shouldn't throw anything overboard but food, and that only in accordance with MARPOL, which means 3 to 12 miles for stuff under one square inch, and 12 to 25 miles for larger pieces. ⇑⇓MARIN SHERIFF'S MARINE UNIT TO THE RESCUE While sailing a small dinghy across Raccoon Strait on June 5, to my great consternation and embarrassment, I capsized. After several failed attempts at righting my vessel, I grew tired and cold, and realized I was in real trouble. Far more trouble than I had bargained for. Rescue attempts by passing sailboats were ineffective and clearly dangerous. Whether it was God's intervention or just plain luck I will never know, but the rapid response of the Marin Sheriff's Marine Patrol has to be recognized and praised. Sheriff Deputies Nicholas Pottoroff and Jon Harrison took immediate charge. It rapidly became clear to me that they were well-equipped, highly-trained, and extremely competent. Simply put, they saved my life. I was quickly transported back to Tiburon, where I was met by the Tiburon Fire Department and EMR units, which the deputies had arranged for en route. The deputies not only stayed with me during this evaluation, but also coordinated, with folks from the Corinthian YC, the retrieval and return of my vessel. My thanks for a job well done! R. Wm Schmidt, MD Tiburon R. — A tip of the Latitude hat to the Marin Sheriff's Department. But what troubles us is that "passing sailboats" were unable to save you from what might have been a terrible fate.
