The clubhouse all decked out for its members.
Interclub Corn Roast, Kayak/Paddle
Evenings and the Fish & Game Cruise
for the visually impaired. Added to these
are the standard spring, summer, fall and
single handed series. Their annual signature Snake Island Nanaimo Regatta was
renamed this year to honour a long standing member, Basil Hobbs. Basil worked
tirelessly behind the scenes and in leadership roles on behalf of marine safety and
security to aid the professional and recreational mariner.
Long time, active NYC and Power
Squadron member, Norman Nummela,
embodies the epitome of the ethos of the
club when he decided to get into boating.
Not having a pocketful of money and
working with a lot of moxie, he visited the
Spencer Craft Boat operation in
Vancouver. From a drawing he received
while at the business, he thought he
could build a boat himself. He made a
table from a scale provided on the drawing. He and his wife then made the calculations and laid them all out on the
kitchen table. He didn't know much
about marine architecture so he got a
book from the library for reference.
The next 10 years were consumed
with building a 44 foot wooden power-
boat on his front yard. He salvaged most
of the materials, using yellow cedar chips
to form the hull and topsides. Finally, in
1978 the boat was launched and christened, Kanaka Girl (Hawaiian for "human
being") and he and his family cruised
almost the entire northwest coast from
Lake Washington and Olympia up to
Glacier Bay. Her log book is full of all the
many people that crewed aboard. When
the family grew up and moved away, all
his maintenance personnel disappeared.
As we all know, a wooden boat is a labour
of love that entails a great deal of upkeep.
So when he decided to stop boating after
37 years, he realized that he wanted to
dismantle and recycle the Kanaka Girl.
He didn't want it on his conscience that it
would become a derelict live-a-board
which would break his and his family's
heart. When the commodore told him
that what he had done was a "class act" it
made him feel good that he had done the
right thing.
The lure of the west coast also "stung"
Sea Salt author/galley cook, Lorna
Malone who moved from Ontario to
Nanaimo in the late 1970s. She singlehandedly planned meals for eight crew
members aboard their wooden boat,
