Hello to all and a

Welcome
aboard, I'm Jack Stone hailing from Baltimore, Maryland and the Magothy River,
USA.
Dubya was unable to work on the newsletter for January,
so when he sent me a template and a conglamoration of information, I was more
than happy to help. NOTE: Dubya is short for WW, which has always been my
nickname for Wayne for over 20 years.
I've been "messing about boats"
for some 25 odd years, specializing mostly on your diesel and gasoline powered
liveaboards and larger inboard boats, whereas Dubya's expertise lies in the
smaller trailerable outboard and stern drive crafts.
My first encounter
with Dubya was 20 years ago on the Chesapeake Bay where he curtailed his fishing
trip to cheerfully render assistance to a stranded boater...ME ! That afternoon
he spent almost four hours, including 2 trips back to shore for tools and parts,
making sure I was returned to service before he continued fishing. All he would
accept for his trouble was a cold beverage and a "promise" to pass the favor
along to others!
We became close friends over the next few years so his
good nature and generousity rubbed off on me a bit, his talent for explaining
complex procedures in simple terms never did...must be genetic...If you think he
does it well on his website, you should catch him in person; with a Jimmy Carter
drawl and patience to match, he's always willing to "let's see
now."
Dubya and I stayed in touch over the last 20 years and recently
we have been working on an exciting new project together. It's on hold for now
so I'll let him be the one to let you in on the details, but I will say that
boaters everywhere will appreciate it.
I hope you enjoy this issue,
allthough delayed a bit, I've tried to include most of what Dubya had in mind
for the first issue this year. With a little luck, maybe Dubya will be back on
top of things next month with the latest news and information for
you.
I know it's cold out and the water's frozen, so stroll down to the
dock and check the ice-eater; then come on back inside and get out the deck
shoes and favorite caps....
Winter is for boat shows and I'm certain there's
one in your neighborhood soon.
Here's some websites with up to date
boat show schedules and details:
http://www.boatshows.com/
You won't find a better way to get up to date on the latest in
new gear for boating. Most shows have seminars and classes offered daily at
little or no charge, and cover every marine related topic you can
imagine.
Be sure to wear your deck shoes and climb aboard the new boats
on display. If you have to dream; you might as well dream big! I will promise
you it will induce dreams of Spring and warmer weather for
sure.
Hopefully; if I followed the correct steps, and the
format is in place, you will get this copy of "Back on De Hill" over the
weekend. I enjoyed lending a hand this month and look foward to Dubya's timely
insights next month.
Should any of you mariners have some comments or complaints
this month, you can write me at:

Have a safe and pleasant voyage, Capt. Jack
Stone

WTC steel sent to Shipyard
Steel salvaged from the
wreckage of the World Trade Center was headed to a Mississippi shipyard this
month for use in the USS New York, a warship named in honor of those who
perished in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. It was the Navy's idea to incorporate
the steel into the vessel. The USS New York will be the fifth of 12 amphibious
assault ships in the San Antonio class, which the Navy calls one of its most
technologically innovative. The 684-foot vessel will carry a crew of 402 plus as
many as 800 Marines.

Boat Buyer's Guide -
online
v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
Go Boating is launching its 2003 Boat Buyer's Guide, which it
claims is the largest industry database of its kind, featuring over 3,000 new
models for the coming year. The Buyer's Guide is now available in Go Boating's
just-out January/February 2003 issue, which also celebrates the magazine's sixth
anniversary.
The 2003 Boat Buyer's Guide will be posted online at:
http://www.goboatingamerica.com/
in January.
This online version will be updated regularly as new models
are introduced, serving boaters throughout the year. Full-color pictures of the
2003 boats will appear beside the specifications, and visitors can then click a
link that will take them directly to that company's website. The Buyer's Guide
also lists pricing information for a vast majority of the models. Go Boating's
140-page January/February issue is the largest in the magazine's
history.

Oregon - mandatory boater education
law
v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
Oregon boaters unprepared for education requirement
More than 55 percent of Oregon boaters who fall under the
state's mandatory boater education law are not prepared for its phase-in, which
begins on January 1, 2003, according to a Thursday, December 12 report of the
Statesman Journal.
The law, which was passed in 1999, requires that boaters ages
30 and younger, and people of all ages who are supervising boaters age 12-15,
must carry a Boater Education Card if operating a boat of at least 10
horsepower, the newspaper reported.
In addition, boaters ages 12 to 15 also must carry a card to
operate any powerboat, and those under 12 years of age are forbidden to operate
a powerboat.
Approximately 7,000 boaters under the age of 30, or 55
percent of boaters in that age group, have yet to obtain their Boater Education
Card, according to the newspaper. Out of the 250,000 total boaters in the state,
only 47,000 have taken the course.
In addition, instructors reported to the newspaper that
enrollment in boaters' education courses is dropping, an occurrence they find
surprising, especially because taking the course can lower boat and personal
watercraft insurance by 10 to 15 percent.
Some boaters may be waiting to see the level of enforcement
applied to the new law, while others may wait until boating season nears to take
the class, the newspaper suggested.
Those who violate the law will receive a US$75 fine, according
to the newspaper.

MOAA, USCG formalize agreement on maritime
security
v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
The Marina Operators Association of America (MOAA) and the
United States Coast Guard (USCG) have executed a Memorandum of Agreement
formalizing the terms by which MOAA and the USCG will cooperate in an effort to
ensure the security of the waters and ports of the United States, the
association announced in a Tuesday, December 17 press release.
MOAA President William Anderson signed the agreement on behalf
of MOAA, and the Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety, Security, and
Environmental Protection, Rear Admiral Paul Pluta, signed on behalf of the USCG.
The signing ceremony took place at the USCG's Washington, DC,
headquarters, and was witnessed by former MOAA President John Pheiffer, MOAA
Executive Director James L. Frye, CMM, and MOAA Government Affairs Coordinator
Stacey Proctor. Also in attendance at the ceremony were USCG Chief of Program
Development and Implementation, Division for the Operations Policy Directorate
Office of Boating Safety John M. Malatak, USCG Captain and Chief of the Office
of Boating Safety Scott H. Evans, and USCG Commander Steven D. Poulin, Legal
Adviser to the Port Security Directorate, MOAA reported.
Under the terms of the memorandum, MOAA and the USCG jointly
agree to further the mutual goals of ensuring safe, secure, efficient, and
environmentally responsible maritime operations. Specifically, the USCG agrees
to provide opportunities through local Captains of the Port for MOAA to
participate in local port security committees and subcommittees, while MOAA
agrees to cooperate with the USCG in educating the public and its membership on
maritime safety awareness.
"Since September 11, 2001, homeland security, and in
particular, the security of America's ports and waterways, has been a major
priority of the men and women charged with protecting our country," said MOAA
President William Anderson. "By entering into this agreement with the Coast
Guard, MOAA is offering the services of both marina operators and owners and the
recreational boating community to the nation as yet another deterrent to those
wishing to do our country harm."
Anderson explained that in the coming months, MOAA will be
creating a national outreach program to educate marina operators, owners and
recreational boaters as to ways they can get involved with this new national
security initiative.

USNS Comfort Rescue
v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
Rescue was a Comfort after two days in the ocean
By
JACK DORSEY, The Virginian-Pilot
January 9,
2003
Your fishing boat sank two days ago. Since then, you've been
floating in the Atlantic Ocean, bobbing in stormy seas with waves up to 15 feet
high.
Finally, a ship appears on the horizon -- a big ship. It is nearly 900
feet long and has 50-foot-tall red crosses on its hull. Aboard are 300 medical
personnel and 1,000 empty hospital beds.
You are about to be rescued by the USNS Comfort, the world's
largest floating hospital.
The Comfort, on its way to the Middle East in preparation for
a possible war with Iraq, diverted from its course Wednesday to pluck a man from
the Atlantic about 80 miles northeast of Bermuda.

Life jacket mandate takes effect
v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
The U.S. Coast Guard has formally stepped into the life
jacket debate with a new regulation that went into effect on Christmas
Eve.
According to the new regulation, all children under 13 years
of age are now required to wear Coast Guard-approved life jackets while aboard
recreational vessels underway, except when the children are below decks or in an
enclosed cabin.
According to Coast Guard officials, the new rule was created
to address the problem of childhood drownings while boating. Between 1995 and
2001, 210 children under the age of 13 died while boating; 121 of these deaths
were from drowning. Most of these deaths could have been prevented if the child
had been wearing a properly fitting life jacket, the Coast Guard said in a press
release.
This rule affects only those states that have not established
requirements, by statute or rule, for children to wear life jackets. For the
remaining states, the rule recognizes and adopts the existing state regulation,
even if it is less stringent, the press release said.
Penalties for a boat operator who fails to have all children
under the age of 13 wear a life jacket are similar to those for failing to have
life jackets on board. Penalties may be assessed up to a maximum of $1,100 for
each violation.
The United States Coast Guard published the Interim Rule in
the Federal Register on June 24, and, in cooperation with state boating safety
agencies, has been conducting a six-month education and public awareness phase
end Dec. 31.
States with no current regulation for life jacket wear by
children included Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, the Northern
Mariana Islands, New Mexico, North Carolina, Virgin Islands, Virginia,
Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

New Zealander wins Concept Boat competition
v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
Dubya has tried to keep you up to date on the
Concept Boat competition and here's the winners!
A sailing catamaran with berths for four that folds up for
easy transportation is the winner of the first Concept Boat competition, which
challenged entrants to design a "transportable boat of the future."
The Concept Boat 2002 competition was launched at the 2001
Southampton Boat Show in the United Kingdom as part of a drive by the British
Marine Federation (BMF) and the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) to
boost the global small craft industry by injecting new dynamism and innovation
into boat design.
The winning entry, Jasmin, was designed by Gray Treadwell, a
New Zealander who works in the computer industry. The judges chose to award the
£5,000 first prize to Treadwell because they were impressed by several aspects
of Jasmin's design, including her transportability, performance and sheer
innovation.
A rigged scale model of Jasmin has been constructed by staff
and students at the College of Falmouth in Cornwall, one of the UK's leading
centers of boat building and boat design, and is on display at The Schroders
London Boat Show from 2-12 January 2003 on the Concept Boat stand
(66a).
Row boat takes second place
A second prize of £3,000 has been awarded for the ROCAT Rowing
Catamaran. Frustrated at not being able to find a fast, stable boat to row on
the sea, Cornwall, UK-based industrial designer Christopher Laughton was
inspired to design one himself.
The judges were impressed with the unusual rowing system, ease
of transport and extreme stability, which make it ideal for novice and skilled
oarsmen. Visitors to the boat show can see a prototype of the ROCAT at the
Concept Boat stand.
Work boat takes third place
Mike Munson, a naval architect from Plymouth, won the third
prize of £2,000 for Boxcat, a transformable workboat that travels as a standard
20-foot container but converts quickly into a powered catamaran for flood relief
use. The judges thought it was a clever idea and were impressed with its
potential for both flood relief work and general work in any sheltered
waters.
"All of the entrants to the Concept Boat competition showed
great imagination and innovation but the three winners were truly exceptional,"
said John Clarke, chief executive of the BMF. "The creative thinking of the
winning designers, coupled with their practical application of marine
engineering principles, will help keep marine businesses at the cutting edge of
industry."
Two other entries commended
In addition to the three prize winners, two entries were
highly commended by the judges.
The first of these is The Genie, designed by Keith Matthews
from Dunstable in the United Kingdom, a collapsible five-person dinghy suitable
for both leisure and commercial use. The judges were intrigued by the
self-filling and sealing air buoyancy that allows rapid deployment and thought
the design truly revolutionary.
Matthews, an experienced engineering designer who has now
directed his expertise to boats, holds patents on The Genie's design in the
United Kingdom, France, Australia and the United States. The Genie is being
displayed at the Concept Boat stand.
The second highly commended design is the Valti, described as
"a clever flat pack two-man outrigger canoe" that folds down to a 3.8-meter x
0.75-meter x 0.12-meter package. It is extremely easy to assemble and since it
weighs a mere 20 kilograms, it can be tucked under the arms of its two paddlers.
The judges liked Valti's absolute simplicity. Valti was designed by Florian
Franz, an Austrian born industrial designer who works on office furniture and
shop design.
The winners of the 2002 Concept Boat competition will receive
their awards at the Schroders London Boat Show on Monday, January 6. Designers,
whether professional or amateur, boating enthusiast or "landlubber," can now
enter the Concept Boat 2003 competition. This year's entrants are being asked to
come up with a design that encourages a new waterborne activity, satisfies a
previously unfulfilled need or is a significant advance on existing craft
designed for the same use.

I have been going crazy trying to find the site for a new Car
Boat, James
Bond type of vehicle. I found it in March but forgot where it is.
As a
concept it looked great & was to be produced by year end.40 mph on
water 90
on land.
Any word on this type of thing?
Maybe another boater
remembers where it is and can let me know.

Boat Sinks !!
v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
Ed finally decides to take a vacation. He books himself on a
Caribbean cruise and proceeds to have the time of his life --until the boat
sank. He found himself swept up on the shore of an island with no other people,
no supplies...nothing... only bananas and coconuts.
After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when
the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to him. In disbelief, he asks
her, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?"
"I rowed from the other side of the island," she says. "I
landed here when my cruise ship sank."
"Amazing,' he says. "You were really lucky to have a rowboat
wash up with you."
"Oh, this?' replies the woman. "I made the rowboat out of raw
material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I
wove the bottom from palm branches. And the sides and stern came from a
Eucalyptus tree."
"But, but, that's impossible,' stutters Ed. "You had no tools
or hardware. How did you manage?"
"Oh, that was no problem," replies the woman. "On the south
side of the island, there is a very unusual strata of alluvial rock exposed. I
found if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into
forgeable ductile iron. I used that for tools and used the tools to make the
hardware." Ed is stunned. "Let's row over to my place," she says.
After a few minutes of rowing, she docks the boat at a small
wharf. As Ed looks onto shore, he nearly falls out of the boat. Before him is a
stone walk leading to an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and white. While the
woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, he could only stare
ahead, dumbstruck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not
much, but I call it home. Sit down please. Would you like to have a drink?"
"No, no, thank you.' he says, still dazed. "Can't take any
more coconut juice." "It's not coconut juice," the woman replies. "How about a
Pina Colada?"
Trying to hide his continued amazement, he accepts, and they
sit down on her couch to talk. After they have exchanged their stories, the
woman announces,
"I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you
like to take a shower and shave? There is a razor upstairs in the cabinet in the
bathroom."
No longer questioning anything, Ed goes into the bathroom.
There, in the cabinet, is a razor made from a bone handle. Two shells honed to a
hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside of a swivel mechanism.
"Wow! This woman is amazing!" he muses, "What next?"
When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but
vines-strategically positioned-and smelling faintly of gardenias. She beckons
for him to sit down next to her. "Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering
closer to him, "We've been out here for a really long time. You've been lonely.
There's something I'm sure you really feel like doing right now, something
you've been longing for all these months. You know..." She stares into his eyes.
He can't believe what he's hearing: "You mean---", he swallows
excitedly, "I can check my email?!"
