Port Ludlow Voice Page 38 Mariners’ News Dock Talk by Kori Ward, Marina Manager Though I have written about boat fires in past articles, the recent boat fire at John Wayne Marina in Sequim inspired me to reiterate. Have you ever thought about what the first steps would be if your boat or a neighboring boat were to catch fire or explode while tied to the dock? It is something we all should think about and have a plan for. You should have an escape route and know where the closest fire extinguisher is located. The Marina has fire extinguishers strategically placed around the docks. Anywhere you are around the Marina docks, there will be a fire extinguisher within 75 feet of you. If the fire is small and you feel qualified and safe enough to extinguish the fire, then do so; but be sure 911 has been called, and that the Fire Department is on its way. Be sure to announce the fire to neighboring tenants. If a VHF radio is available, call the Marina office on channel 16 or 68, or send someone to the office to announce the fire. The Marina staff has an emergency plan, and the quicker we get 911 called the less damage will be done. A burning boat will often explode when the flames reach the fuel tanks, so always stand clear. Burning fiberglass can reach temperatures of 2700 degrees; the smoke is acrid and toxic. Burning fiberglass will spread quickly to other surrounding vessels. If you feel it is safe, you could begin moving neighboring vessels away from the burning vessel. Never cut or release a burning boat from the dock as it could float into other boats or property. Normally, it is easier to fight a fire when the vessel is secured to the dock, not freely floating around the Marina. The Marina has three salt-water pumps and foamers that the Fire Department maintains and trains on. The salt-water pumps are also strategically placed around the Marina, one at the head of A dock, one at the foot of C ramp and one at the Marina office. These pumps will only be used by professional Fire Fighters from our local Fire Department. The preeminent way to avoid a boat fire on your vessel is to maintain your vessel and its apparatus. The fire at John Wayne Marina was caused by a poorly maintained propane tank. If you suspect an unsafe vessel or gear on board, please inform a staff member immediately. Let’s hope for the best, plan for the worst and be vigilant of our surroundings. Yacht Club News by Brett Oemichen What do flares, personal flotation devices (PFDs), docking and lines, marine Very High Frequency (VHF) communication, dinghies, Man Overboard, Crossing the Strait and Marine Salvage have in common? They are all topics for the Port Ludlow Yacht Club (PLYC) Training Day coming up on Saturday, April 28 at the Beach Club. The PLYC Training Day Committee has planned an array of short seminars, demonstrations and hands-on activities to improve participants’ knowledge and skills on the water. After the seminar and demonstrations at or near the Beach Club and Marina, participants move to the Wreck Room, visit several educational displays upstairs and have an opportunity to talk with Training Day presenters. Non-members are welcome as invited visitors of a PLYC member so please come join us. You don’t have to be a boat or kayak owner to attend. If you are a passenger on a boat or spend time near the water, you’ll find an interesting topic at the 2012 Training Day. Check in next month’s Voice for more information but, for now, save the date on your calendar for the PLYC Training Day, Saturday, April 28 at the Beach Club. USCG Auxiliary Has Eyes in the Sky by Ian McFall, USCG AUXAIR Air Crew and Flotilla Public Affairs Officer Many know of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Auxiliary as an organization involved with boating. Not so well known is AUXAIR, the airborne arm of the Auxiliary. AUXAIR aircraft are owned by private individuals and are equipped with Marine Radios and other electronics specifically needed for USCG operations. AUXAIR aviators have varied aviation backgrounds and many have prior military experience. They volunteer their aircraft for use as facilities, just as surface operators volunteer their boats. All Auxiliary aircraft meet strict USCG and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements and are inspected annually per the Commandant’s instruction in addition to required FAA inspections. AUXAIR participates in missions including Search, Drug and Immigrant Interdiction Operations, Pollution Observation and Response, Reconnaissance of Aids to Navigation and Logistics. As with surface operators, patrol orders are issued for each mission. but orders for
Port Ludlow Voice Page 39 Auxiliary continued from previous page the eleven District 13 aircraft and crews come directly from the USCG Air Stations, Port Angeles, Seattle and Astoria rather than through the Director of the Auxiliary. This alignment of Auxiliary aviation assets in the District with the Air Stations is known as the “squadron concept”, making the Auxiliary assets an integral part of the USCG airborne team. AUXAIR members take rigorous Auxiliary aviation training, completing the syllabus for their level of qualification in addition to the FAA Training required for private pilots. The training, required yearly, includes Search techniques, Spatial Disorientation and shallow water emergency egress training. The latter involves exiting an inverted “cage” underwater, swimming 75 yards and getting into a regulation USCG aircraft life raft. Pilots and others interested in being involved in the AUXAIR program should attend a Flotilla 41 member meeting held at the Port Ludlow Fire Station on the second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. The next meeting will be Wednesday, March 14. Tim Jones of the Penn Cove Shellfish Research Station will be the guest speaker and will give us an overview of its operations. The public is invited to attend. Senior’s Special Ladies’ Day!
