PPJ Seminars - Safety at Sea and Common Sense at Sea

Safety at Sea - Boat and Crew Preparation

This first topic will be presented by Capt. Doug Danielson, delivery captain, licensed surveyor, and author.  He will draw on his many years of experience as delivery captain and surveyor to share what he has learned about what is important in ensuring a safe and enjoyable passage.  He will share specifics on what he has found during surveys that have caused, or could have caused, mishaps and sea.

Doug Danielson has been writing freelance articles for West Coast boating magazines since 1997.  He has published two nautical mystery/adventure novels: Shore Loser and Wet Dreams.  Doug is a highly proficient captain with extensive experience on both power and sailing vessels. He has piloted the waters of the Pacific Coast from Oregon to Hawaii to the Panama Canal. He has also made passages through the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, the Bahamas, and the Intercoastal waters of Florida. He is a knowledgeable marine surveyor, experienced mechanic, meticulous navigator, good cook, and published writer. Doug and his wife Karen are members of VYC and currently reside in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Common Sense at Sea

This second topic will be presented by Dick Markie, Paradise Village Marina Harbormaster and experienced cruiser.  Not all that makes cruising safe is complicated and esoteric.  Sometimes it all comes down to common sense.  Hopefully everyone in the PPJ fleet is well equipped with common sense.  So he will share a few reminders of how to effectively use it during the Pacific passage.
