Certainly true for front driven winds, but not true for thermal driven winds. |
Agree with Sandy. YUP, wind can't tell time but the sun does. When it comes up and heats up the sides of the mountains it creates the diurnal thermal and in Sequim Bay You can almost set your watch by that wind. It will come into the Bay from the NE corner and across diagonally to the SW and it starts at 0930. By 1000 It is across the bay and it will be running 1-0-12 knots until sometime in the afternoon. That is when Tom leaves
Actually it is between 3-4 hours after sunrise.
That diurnal wind reaches out past the Dungeness lighthouse, that's 8-10 miles out past the bay entry.

This is not pertinent to Friday Harbor, but since discussing thermal winds will add this.
Further north the thermal winds can become quite dangerous. This occurs on the water edge of mountains where glaciers or ice fields are above. During some very warm afternoons the warm air will rise & the cold air around the ice can dramatically come cascading down the mountains & blow out into anchorage bays with extreme wind gusts. These are known as Williwaw Winds. In these areas on warm afternoons it’s prudent to have your anchor well set. Another example of how usually high winds can hit in some areas are where high mountain ranges face the open ocean with a channel or open area of water on the opposite side of the range from the ocean. A front coming in will build pressure on the open ocean side then spill over down & out with winds much higher than on the ocean side. So one could think they are in a protected place from the incoming front & find the down slope & off shore winds to be much higher than anticipated.

Like I said. It all depends. So read a weather report and buoy report before you wake me up while leaving at 0 dark wtf thirty. We do not like to leave for home until we have too. Hell half the time susan calls in sick monday and we stay another day. but it is a myth that the morning ALWays HAS LESS WIND. _________________ Thomas J Elliott

Great news today from the Friday Harbor portmaster in regard to our May event and gathering. Here is his quote, "Group discount is $.25 off the moorage rate, so for your group at that time it will be $0.80/ft per night. Power is an additional $0.10/ft per night. So for most of your party, I’d expect it to be a total of $0.90/ft per night."
Thank you so much for all who have sent in your sign-up information for the days you plan to attend.
Gary. _________________ Gary F

Hi Pat,
Got your information and glad you can make it.
I am sure you meant that you will arrive on Thursday, May 12th and depart on Sunday, May 15th? I can change that. Hope so because we will either have the party barge on Saturday evening or a tent and tables on the breakwater.
Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Gary. |

Received an e-mail today from Adam Parrott, Assistant Harbormaster for the Port of Friday Harbor. Not only do we get a reduced rate for group moorage but he said, "In any case, the C-Brats were the first group to make a request so we will be making sure you guys have a good entertainment space."
Lets plan to gather together at the Breakwater A/Party Barge (end of H-Dock) at 5 PM Saturday evening. While we would love to have a potluck, we should probably stick to bringing your own food and utensils. We will follow the Port of Friday Harbor Covid-19 protocol. |

I will be doing boat christenings again at Friday Harbor, if you would like your boat christened, PLEASE PM ME and I will keep a list. Christenings are typically done on Saturday. I will need the boat name (obviously) and the owners's names! |

Hi Gary,
Since we have over 3 months, perhaps we should just wait and see before calling off the potluck. A lot can happen by that time. Not sure if sharing a few dishes is much different that everyone bringing their own. Gathering in close proximity is the issue. Absolutely we need to follow the Port's protocol, but we have plenty of time to decide. _________________ Steve & Joanie

Steve,
I think you are right. The Saturday gathering will be held in an outside environment on Breakwater A. At last years gathering, we met together to share fellowship and ate Joe and Ruth's sheet cake along with Tom and Susan's fresh caught Lingcod (even though there wasn't an official potluck) on the Party Barge. I appreciate what they did for the group. I would love to have a potluck at this years gathering. I know the group has had some very successful gatherings with a potluck in the past. Why not this year! |

I was just going to bump this back onto the active list, but . . . . .
Tom, I'll take a pass on the lap landing but take a double share of the ling cod to make up for it >And yes it is VERY good <

You are correct on the dates, Gary. That is why Patty is the Social Director and I am usually just along for the ride! |

No problem Pat. Many others have done the same thing. I wanted to be correct in what I report to the Harbormaster. I figured that you would be staying Saturday night because you will be doing the boat Christenings that evening. Thanks again for doing that.
For those who have signed up for the Auxiliary Coast Guard Vessel Inspection offered on Saturday, I will soon post a list of items that they check so that you may be better prepared to pass. Gary |

....Harvey sent me this link https://www.usps.org/national/vsc/formtool_files/a7012.pdf
Thank you Harvey, now I don't have to run out to the boat for the USCG vessel inspection form from last year. Note: if you use emergency flares for the Visual Distress Signals (VDS), check the expiration date as the inspector certainly will.
So far there are 13 vessels officially signed up for the Saturday morning inspection. The inspection is free and you will get a 'vessel checked sticker' to place on your window. https://wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=130-02&category=vessel-safety-check
Please feel free to send me a PM for any questions about this years FH gathering. Gary |
