About six miles off the Marina del Rey breakwall, this blue whale surfaced for a breath as he or she fed
for a few minutes, then disappeared. Blue whales were rarely seen in the area until five years ago when
suddenly they started appearing. Its assumed their food source, krill, is responsible for the pattern
change. Photo Pat Reynolds,

Fourteen boats gathered a few miles off the coast of Marina del Rey to pay last respects to Bob Butte
who founded the very popular Church Mouse Marlin Tournament. The Church Mouse has raised
nearly $1,000,000 for charity since its inception. Butte was a member of the Pacific Mariners Yacht
Club and was a very well regarded person in the boating community. Butte died in the place he loved
and spent so much time, Catalina Island.
In addition to the burial at sea, an outpouring of condolences reverberated around the local boating
community, especially amongst fishermen.

The Mariner - Issue 141
he SUP boom is a
double-edged sword in
the eyes of many local
boaters. On the one hand,
some feel its nice to see
an influx of young and/
or active people enjoying
the marina in a different
way. It brings an energy
to the place that wasnt here before. However,
there are more than a few boaters who dont care
about that and are more irritated than anything
else. As the number of paddlers, kayakers,
rowers and now floating bicycles escalates, so
does the worry that an unfortunate accident
could occur.
A Mariner reader named Tom put it this way:
I have had a sailboat in Marina del Rey for
over 20 years and am greatly concerned of the
increasing influx of (mostly rental) kayaks,
stand up paddleboards, and newly floating
bicycles in the basins and main channel of the
marina. G-Basin is especially affected, as there
is a rental facility at the end of the Basin.
It is my understanding that these types of
craft are not considered true vessels. As such,
they do not have right of way and must stay to the
sides of the basins and main channel as would a
pedestrian on the roads. However, the majority
of these people using these types of craft are
often in the center of the basin impeding boat
traffic without any grasp of their folly.
Some of these folks come from the docks of

Santa Monica High School sailing team. Weitz was both a team and an
individual champion on the national level.
Earnie Barker from DRYC becomes Sportsman of the Year for his
outstanding service whenever a boat or a boat driver was needed. Whether
for running a race or racing mark servicean especially nasty job, Barker
was consistently ready and able. One qualification for this award is the
exhibition of exceptional and consistent fairness, courtesy, gracefulness
and/or heroism in activities associated with yachting. Earnie certainly
demonstrated his heroism when he helped disarm a knife wielding
criminal in the DRYC parking lot, getting wounded himself in the process.
Tot Davis, an exceptional 12-year-old transplant from Nova Scotia, is the
Junior Sportsman of the Year. Davis joined the CYC Junior Race Team
two years ago and has grown into the model of Corinthian ideals. He is
not only a skilled student athlete but also a strong supporter of his fellow
teammates, continuing to work hard even after he did not make the final
cut for the Optimist nationals team. The entire yachting community should
note how the greatest contributors are frequently not the race winners but
the solid caring supporters of our sport.
The David Poe Service Award is named in honor of David Poe who, as
co-publisher of the long-running Santana Magazine, supported yachting

activities in many important ways. This years David Poe Service awardee
is Ed Gold from Del Rey Yacht Club whose outstanding service to the
Santa Monica Bay Sailing Foundation raising funds and organizing
activities brought many youngsters into the sport of sailingkids who
would never have gotten to sail without the foundations support.
The Competitive Yachting Achievement Award went to an outstanding
young woman sailor from DRYC named Cassie Obel. Competing in
national events she has won or scored highly against some of the best
small boat sailors in the country. With her crew and teammate Annika
Garrett she trained hard and focused their efforts on becoming champion
sailors.
The actual awards are presented at the ASMBYC installation brunch in
January and published in the annual Yearbook & Calendar that lists
the racing schedule and other Santa Monica Bay yachting events. The
Mariner will be featuring photos and a rundown from the event.
Author Tim Tunks has been serving the marina community in many
ways for over three decades. He is one of the very few to receive both
the Sportsman and the Yachtsman of the Year awards, 2003 and 20012
respectively.
