Marina Electrical CommitteePhase 2 Planning
Notes
Phase I – Nearly complete (Final Walk-through with Dan Keithly ??)
1. The marina underwent a modest electrical upgrade in May 2013. The work was bid and awarded to Keithly Electric. Projects included:
2. Correct deWiciencies in the Marina Load Ground including:a. Installing #10 green ground wire to each outlet in the marinab. Repair broken conduit (before this work the ground was connected to the
Service Ground using the aluminum.c. Install new service Load Ground (head of dock 3).d. Install new Hubbell plates and plugs at each electrical outlet
3. Modify Slip 2-‐35 100Amp Service to 50Amp service with new 50-‐amp plug4. Install now connection for the dock Internet service. The wiring to the Internet
plugs was from a convenient boat plug; this presented the challenge of losing power to the internet system (surge protector and back up battery) whenever a moorage holder turned off the service breaker prior to disconnecting their shore power.
Phase II
a. Determine the role of the MBYC Dock Electrical Committee and formalize.i. Do we want the committee to do work on the new junction boxes and
above the 30 AMP plugs.ii. Determine exactly what they are evaluating and how it is being accom-‐
plished.iii. Do boat Galvanic Isolators and/or Isolation Transformers affect their
readings?iv. Do we want the dock electrical committee members changing the dock
lighting bulbs?b. If we allow members to work on the system are we invalidating our warranty
and exposing MBYC to liability (real or implied)?c. If boat wiring challenges are discovered, how will we assure the problem is re-‐
solved.d. Note: Certain types of Marine Insurance requires a survey every few years. Is
that survey adequate to assure a compliant and safe electrical system.e. Do we want to ask the Dock Committee and BOT to require a survey every ___
years?f. Do we want to create a list of recommended marine electrical surveyors?g. Do we want to create a list of recommended marine service providers?
2. Plan for electrical education program:
Notes
a. Do we want a member writing articles?b. Do we want to create a reading list of vessel maintenance articlesc. Do we want the Power Squadron involved?
i. How do we assure their instructor is qualiWied?d. Is an education program appropriate given the yacht club protocals?
Phase III Planning – Time Line ______________ (2018 – 2010 ???)
1. What projects are we serious about pursuing?2. Rewire the power wires through out the marina.3. Install marina power and water posts at the outside slips.4. R/R replace slip meter panels – new meters with wireless networking.5. R/R distribution panel6. Upgrade dock 2 50 foot slips to 50 Amps as well install ____ 50AMP plugs on the
guest dock.7. What does the LRC have budgeted for this project?8. ROM cost of project we are considering.9. How will the club manage the project?

Note to Jim and Lisa
Jim and Lisa,
Thank you for the MBYC Dock Captain recognition. I really didn’t serve my term and I’m not sure I deserve it. But it is appreciated.
I look forward to both of your leadership for the next two years. It was great to get to know you and work with you. I’ll be here to help in anyway I can.
Reflecting on the year, I think the way you jumped in and gave us the support to put the Slip 2-33 issue to bed was terrific. That weighed very heavy on Mark and me. Thank you!
Sincerely, Russ
Notes
Duties of a Dock Captain
1. The Dock Captains are expected to have an understanding and knowledge of the Moorage Rules and Regulations and By-‐Laws of MBYC (ARTICLE XVII -‐ Moorage Fa-‐cilities are of particular importance).
2. The Dock Captains report directly to the Moorage Chairman (Rear Commodore) or the Dock Captain assigned to the Chairman duties if the Chairman is not available.
3. It is the role of the Dock Committee to provide continuity, advice and counsel to the Chairman.
4. Additionally, the Dock Captains will be available to assist members and reciprocal moorage guests by answering questions on daily dock operations and the Moorage Rules and Regulations. They will assist members and guests in any way appropriate.
5. The Dock Captains will monitor and be mindful of the moorage assignments and wait lists. Their goal will be to maximize utilization of this valuable resource in ac-‐cordance with the by-‐laws; to this end, they will consider appropriate slip reassign-‐ments to assure best use of the marina. They will consult with the Chairman at a Dock Meeting to determine assignments based on the By-‐laws. The Chairman is ul-‐timately responsible for assignment.
6. The Dock Captain will NOT reprimand or correct a member and/or guest unless there is an immediate safety issue. The Dock Captain will quietly notify the Chair-‐man who will deal with the member if and when appropriate.
7. The Dock Captain will assure use of the marina is by authorized users only. If a non-‐yacht club boat attempts to use the marina and a Dock Captain is available, the Dock Captain will politely ask them to leave explaining that we cannot allow non-‐members to use the facility due to insurance concerns. Normal marine courtesies to vessels in harms way can justify granting a short term exception (a trip to the store or restroom is NOT “harms way”). If challenged, do NOT engage – CALL 911 and the Dock Chairman.
8. Dock Captains are NOT authorized to grant waivers to the Moorage Rules and Regu-‐lations and By-‐Laws of MBYC. However, if a situation requires immediate resolution, a Dock Captain may authorize the exception but the length of time will be made clear and the Chairman will be immediately notiWied.
Notes
9. Dock Captains will participate in various marina related work parties as the deter-‐mined by the Dock Committee and Chairman.

Notes
5) Why would we need to change to Diovan???
How is it used?There are two different tests for CRP. The standard test measures a much wider range of CRP levels but is less sensitive in the lower ranges. The hs-CRP test can more accurately detect lower concentrations of the protein (it is more sensitive), which makes it more useful than the CRP test in predicting a healthy person's risk for cardiovascular disease.hs-CRP is promoted by some as a test for determining the potential risk level for cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and strokes. The current thinking is that hs-CRP can play a role in the evaluation process before one encounters one of these health problems. More clinical trials that involve measuring hs-CRP levels are currently underway in an effort to better understand its role in cardiovascular events and may eventually lead to guidelines on its use in screening and treat-ment decisions.^ Back to topWhen is it ordered?hs-CRP usually is ordered as one of several tests in a cardiovascular risk profile, often along with tests for cholesterol and triglycerides. Some experts say that the best way to predict risk is to combine a good marker for inflammation, like hs-CRP, along with the lipid profile.^ Back to topWhat does the test result mean?
People with higher hs-CRP values have the highest risk of cardiovascular disease, and those with lower values have less of a risk. Specifically, individuals who have hs-CRP results in the high end of the normal range have 1.5 to 4 times the risk of having a heart attack as those with hs-CRP values at the low end of the normal range.
The American Heart Association and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have de-fined risk groups as follows:Low risk: less than 1.0 mg/LAverage risk: 1.0 to 3.0 mg/LHigh risk: above 3.0 mg/L
These values are only a part of the total evaluation process for cardiovascular diseases. Additional risk factors to be considered are elevated levels of cholesterol, LDL-C, triglycerides, and glucose. In addition, smoking, having high blood pressure (hypertension), and being diabetic also increase the risk level.
Notes
Is there anything else I should know?Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ((NSAIDs like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen) or statins may reduce CRP levels in blood. Both anti-inflammatory drugs and statins may help to reduce the inflammation, thus reducing CRP.
Because the hs-CRP test can serve as a marker for inflammation, it is important that any person having this test be in a healthy state in order for the results to be of any value in predicting the risk of coronary disease or heart attack. Any recent illness, tissue injury, infection, or other gen-eral inflammation will raise the amount of CRP and give a falsely elevated estimate of risk.Women on hormone replacement therapy have been shown to have elevated hs-CRP levels, suggesting that this test may be useful in predicting future cardiovascular events.
Since the hs-CRP and CRP tests measure the same molecule, people with chronic in-flammation, such as those with arthritis, should not have hs-CRP levels measured. Their CRP levels will be very high due to the arthritis—often too high to be measured or meaningful using the hs-CRP test.

May you grow up to be righteous May you grow up to be trueMay you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding youMay you always be courageous Stand upright and be strongMay you stay forever young
Notes
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy May your feet always be swiftMay you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shiftMay your heart always be joyful And may your song always be sungMay you stay forever youngMay you stay forever young

Medicare Considerations
1) Medicare Advantage Plan has similarity to an HMO…. Additional costs could be incurred for out of network providers.
2) Medicare Part D coverage is the drug plan.
3) USAA: (800) 771-9960 for the Advice Centeri) “What are you inquiring about?”ii) “Medicare Supplement Insurance”iii) …. “Are you calling about Part D Drug Gap/Supplemental Coverage”.iv) “No”v) Note: You do NOT want to talk to a “partner company” (e.g., Humana)
4) 4 Medicare Parts:i) A – Hospitalizationii) B – Doctorsiii) C – Medicare Advantage Programs (Includes Part D coverage)iv) D – Drug program
5) The “Plans” define the Part A and B supplemental insurance or “medicare gap insurance”
6) Plan N costs apox $105 per month (Adjusted annually)i) There will be a “co-pay”ii) There will be a “Deductible”
7) Plan F costs aprox $180.71 per month (Adjusted annually)i) Generally no deductible and/or co-pay.
8) Note the Social Security Administration will charge you for your BASIC COVERAGE at a rate based on your income…
9) Medicare Part D – Aprox $40 to $50 per month (adjusted and SELECTED) annually.
Notes
10) If you select an advantage plan you may not be able to go back to a traditional Medicare Gap insur-ance program with Part D supplement
Life Insurance
1) Current Term Life Insurancei) 20 year Termii) Russ - $100,00iii) Jan - $75,000iv) Renewal but “spendy”
2) Whole Life or Universal Life – We can transistion from existing Term Life Policies to Whole or Uni-versal Live before our Term Policies expire in (aprox) 2013???
i) Can be purchased without medical.ii) Jan:
(a) Whole life: $75,000 = $278 per month(b) Universal: $253 per month(c) Universal: $50,000 = $173(d) Note: Jan’s rate is based on Standard Health analysis
iii) Russ(a) Whole life: $100,000 = $358 per month(b) Universal Life: $100,000 = 279.36(c) Universal Life: $75,000 = $253.99(d) Universal Life: $50,000 = $144.27(e) Note: Based on Preferred Health analysis (from Term Policy assessment)
Income Annunity
i) Can be used to cover costs of Long Term Care Insurance. Seems to be a better way rather than just paying for long term insurance. (Long Term Care and an Income Annunity can be provided by USAA.
ii) There are various options that will provide various options such as “Joint” or “Beneficiary” which will provide protection in the event of passing prior to the “break even” point. The goal is to return premium and cover cost of Long Term Care Insurance.
iii) End of Life Costs…

1. Political Thoughts: Is it not a bit hypocritical for the Obama administration to criticize the George Bush for allowing the interrogation and incarceration of prisoners but refusing to refusing to re-lease documents justifying the killing of American citizens or her adversaries. Apparently, today, there is a sub-committee of the NSC at the White House that must approve the killing of an American citizen as enemy of the US in a time of war. For non-US citizens the approval process is at a lower level.

FLIGHT CONTROL LAWS SUMMARYFLIGHT CONTROL LAWS SUMMARYNORMAL LAWNORMAL LAW
Normal operating configuration of the system. Failure of any single computer does not affect normal law. Covers 3-axis control, flight envelope protection, and load alleviation. Has 3 modes ac-cording to phase of flight.
Normal operating configuration of the system. Failure of any single computer does not affect normal law. Covers 3-axis control, flight envelope protection, and load alleviation. Has 3 modes ac-cording to phase of flight.
GroundMode
• Active when aircraft is on the ground.
• Direct proportional relationship between the sidestick deflection and deflec-tion of the flight controls.
• Is active until shortly after liftoff.
• After touchdown, ground mode is reactivated and resets the stabilizer trim to zero.
FlightMode
• Becomes active shortly after takeoff and remains active until shortly before touchdown.
• Sidestick deflection and load factor imposed on the aircraft are directly pro-portional, regardless of airspeed.
• With sidestick neutral and wings level, system maintains a 1 g load in pitch.
• No requirement to change pitch trim for changes in airspeed, configuration, or bank up to 33 degrees.
• At full aft/fwd sidestick deflection system maintains maximum load factor for flap position.
• Sidestick roll input commands a roll rate request.
• Roll rate is independent of airspeed.
• A given sidestick deflection always results in the same roll rate response.
• Turn coordination and yaw damping are computed by the ELACs and trans-mitted to the FACs.
• No rudder pedal feedback for the yaw damping and turn coordination func-tions.
FlareMode
• Transition to flare mode occurs at 50' RA during landing.
• System memorizes pitch attitude at 50' and begins to progressively reduce pitch, forcing pilot to flare the aircraft
• In the event of a go-around, transition to flight mode occurs again at 50' RA.
Notes
Protections
Load factor Limitation • Prevents pilot from overstressing the aircraft even if full sidestick deflections
are applied.
Attitude Protection
• Pitch limited to 30 deg up, 15 deg down, and 67 deg of bank.
• These limits are indicated by green = signs on the PFD.
• Bank angles in excess of 33 deg require constant sidestick input.
• If input is released the aircraft returns to and maintains 33 deg of bank.
High Angle of Attack Protection (alpha):
• When alpha exceeds alpha prot, elevator control switches to alpha protection mode in which angle of attack is proportional to sidestick deflection.
• Alpha max will not be exceeded even if the pilot applies full aft deflection
High Speed Protection:
• Prevents exceeding VMO or MMO by introducing a pitch up load factor demand.
• The pilot can NOT override the pitch up command.
Low Energy Warning:
• Available in CONF 2,3, or FULL between 100' and 2,000' RA when TOGA not selected.
• Produces aural "SPEED SPEED SPEED" when change in flight path alone is insufficient to regain a positive flight path (Thrust must be increased).
Notes
ALTERNATE LAWALTERNATE LAWIf Multiple Failures of Redundant Systems occur, the flight controls revert to Alternate
Law. The ECAM displays the message: ALTN LAW: PROT LOST
If Multiple Failures of Redundant Systems occur, the flight controls revert to Alternate Law.
The ECAM displays the message: ALTN LAW: PROT LOSTGroundMode The ground mode is identical to Normal Law.
FlightMode
• In pitch alternate law the flight mode is a load factor demand law similar to the Normal Law flight mode, with reduced protections.
• Pitch alternate law degrades to pitch direct law when the landing gear is ex-tended to provide feel for flare and landing, since there is no flare mode when pitch normal law is lost.
• Automatic pitch trim and yaw damping (with limited authority) is available.
• Turn coordination is lost.
• When pitch law degrades from normal law, roll degrades to Direct Law - roll rate depends on airspeed.
Protections
• All protections except for load factor maneuvering protection are lost.
• The load factor limitation is similar to to that under Normal Law.
• Amber XX's replace the green = attitude limits on the PFD.
• A low speed stability function replaces the normal angle-of-attack protection o System introduces a progressive nose down command which at-
tempts to prevent the speed from decaying further.
o This command CAN be overridden by sidestick input.
o The airplane CAN be stalled in Alternate Law.
o An audio stall warning consisting of "crickets" and a "STALL" aural message is activated.
o The Alpha Floor function is inoperative.
• The PFD airspeed scale is modified: o VLS remains displayed
o VALPHA PROT and VALPHA MAX are removed
o They are replaced by a red and black barber pole, the top indicating the stall warning speed VSW
• A nose up command is introduced any time the airplane exceeds VMO/MMO to keep the speed from increasing further, which CAN be overridden by the sidestick.
• Bank angle protection is lost.
• Certain failures cause the system to revert to Alternate Law without speed stability.
• Yaw damping is lost if the fault is a triple ADR failure.
Notes
ABNORMAL ALTERNATE LAWAbnormal Alternate Law is activated if the airplane enters an unusual attitude, allowing recovery from the unusual attitude.
• Pitch law becomes Alternate (without autotrim or protection other than Load Factor pro-
tection).
• Roll law becomes Direct law with mechanical yaw control.
• After recovery from the unusual attitude, the following laws are active for the remainder
of the flight: o Pitch: Alternate law without protections and with autotrim.
o Roll: Direct law
o Yaw: Alternate law
• There is no reversion to Direct law when the landing gear is extended.
DIRECT LAWDirect law is the lowest level of computer flight control and occurs with certain multiple
failures.
• Pilot control inputs are transmitted unmodified to the control surfaces, providing a direct
relationship between sidestick and control surface.
• Control sensitivity depends on airspeed and NO autotrimming is available.
• An amber message USE MAN PITCH TRIM appears on the PFD.
• If the flight controls degrade to Alternate Law, Direct Law automatically becomes active when the landing gear is extended if no autopilots are engaged. If an autopilot is en-gaged, the airplane will remain in Alternate Law until the autopilot is disconnected.
• There are no protections provided in Direct Law, however overspeed and stall aural warn-ings are provided.
• The PFD airspeed scale remains the same as in Alternate Law.
MECHANICAL BACKUPIn case of a complete loss of electrical flight control signals, the aircraft can be tempo-rarily controlled by mechanical mode.
• Pitch control is achieved through the horizontal stabilizer by using the manual trim wheel.
• Lateral control is accomplished using the rudder pedals.
• Both controls require hydraulic power.
• A red MAN PITCH TRIM ONLY warning appears on the PFD.

Yes, there is a boating App for that!
iPhones, iPads, Android’s, smart phones and tablets are everywhere-so why not use them on your boat as a back up, or even primary system, as I do?One of my favorite boating Apps for the 3 platforms named is Navionics. At $14.99 for phone and $34.99 for the HD tablet version, it’s an amazing value. It provides complete coverage of USA (including AK & HI) and all of Canada. USA alone is $9.99.The App resides on the iPhone/Pad, so you don’t need to be in cell range or have access to WiFi. Your iPhone/Pad must have the built-in GPS, which most do.You can plan dozens of routes with waypoints (99 total) from your favorite chair; check tides, currents by time & location. Its all touch screen, there are no complex set ups to master.Navionics will record your track, departure time, ETA, GPH, average speed, es- timated fuel used etc. You can set a safety depth, add a Google Earth or Bing overlay. It can zoom in to your intended slip at any marina and the resolution is excellent.Touching any point on the chart will give you an instant Lat & Long for that point. Touch the GPS key on the display and it will give you your instant boat position at that moment, great in an emergency. You can add your own notes to the chart. E.G., many of us know about Zachary rock, close to Money Maker Rock, just off the end of C dock in Ganges. But, its not on all charts, so put it on yours! It lists all Marina’s; pub’s with phone numbers etc, the list goes on. Sorry to sound like an ad, but all this for $15.00!Those of you that don’t have AIS and I’m one, there is a free App, Ship Finder Free. SFF will give you the location of all AIS equipped vessels. Type of vessel, (ferry, tug, oiler, Victoria Clipper etc) its name and heading. It will not give others your position like a true AIS, but if you are in fog, wondering if a tug & tow or state ferry is heading your way-SFF will tell you.Boating Suite is an electronic log book App. With the log book section you can add departure time, exact location, engine hours, air temp, water temp, weather, wind, crew etc. There’s a fuel log section that will provide a summary of dollars you spent, GPH, HPG, average fill, average cost etc. Boating Suite, also includes, expense log, to do list, maintenance log and shopping list. You could waste the whole day at the dock, filling outall the information! You can even add photos of your trip to the log. Gone Boating allows you to email a float plan, similar to MBYC’sCruise Control. Anchor Watch App is now available for iPhone/Pad, although Ihaven’t used it in the real world; it’s very simple, loud and has a great phone call option all for $0.99.Captain [email protected]

MAC GPS This USB Gps uses a very powerful GPS module, and I'm using it for marine navigation through a laptop. Fast, with all the required NMEA sentences to please the navigation software I use. It has WAAS detec-tion so position is very accurate, and power consumption is really amazingly minimal: Feed the USB port, so no battery to replace, and perfectly waterproof... an small!. Satellites acquisition is very fast, and it fact it beats in all domains my $300 active GPS module from Raymarine expensive chart plotter!. Since the NMEA protocol requires a serial com port protocol, a simple driver(USB to serial converter, provided) has to be installed, and that is easily done. A few drawbacks: 1- Speed is limited to 4800 bps, good enough for NMEA 183, but some navigation softwares may work only with higher speed interface. 2- The NMEA sentences are limited and things like XTE(Cross track error used by autopilots) may not be avalable. In fact the GPS engine (chip)is already capable of everything, but how to access and configure it? . Simply said, the documentation is realy minimalist!. That is the only real drawback. But in conclu-sion, it does the job, is precise, fast, inexpensive and very reliable...
