FACEBOOK POST. September 9th, 2021.
One of the most difficult things I have had to write. Answering the phone, scheduling, rescheduling, not knowing when crab season will start, I spent the last five years on the Dungeness Crab Task Force Whale Entanglement Group. Listening to ‘just vertical lines in the water’, meetings, more meetings, public testimony at California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Fish & Game Commission meetings finally took its toll. Extremely Sad.
A little over 20 years ago I bought the Huli Cat after operating other people’s charter boats. Prior to that I had a Boston Whaler 20’ Outrage for fishing and diving since 1977. It seems incomprehensible, however, due to California politics and policies, change is coming. The straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back was the California Fish & Game Commission ruling that recreational Dungeness crab would be subject to the same opening rules as commercial. California Department of Fish & Wildlife bears a little responsibility for the upcoming change.

OWN VOICE. By David Marsland, El Granada.
The August/September 2021 issue of AARP Magazine has an incredible article called Voices of 9/11, published on the 20th anniversary of this tragic event. This story ripped my heart out and left me sobbing. Prepare to be moved to tears if you choose to read this excellent article. It’s worth it. The dead deserve to be honored and remembered.

Sanchez Art Center is delighted to present its 13th annual 50|50 Show, Sept 10–Oct 10.
Juried by Shannon Trimble of Anglim/Trimble Gallery in San Francisco. Participating artists create 50 small artworks within a time span of 50 days, a challenge requiring dedication, creativity, and courage. With its stunning display of originality plus the affordability of the artworks, this highly anticipated exhibition at Sanchez Art Center is known throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. The ability of artists to share their creative work has continued to be severely impacted during this extraordinarily difficult time of pandemic—a time when we need more than ever to cherish the experience of self-expression, exploration, and joy that art provides. SAC is honored to support these artists and the wider community.
