Our Working Waterfront ~ 9/10/24

In 1935 William Fife III, aged 78, designed one of the sailing world’s most admired ocean racing yachts, Latifa. She was one of his all-time favorites. Today, we’re standing next to this legendary 70 foot yawl. launched in 1936, and in the loving care of past and current owners ever since. Now she’s in the boat yard at Pete Stein’s Co-op for maintenance. Unlike many large yachts of her era, she’s been in commission since her launching. Port Director and xo-host Eron Berg gives his monthly report, and then KPTZ’s Chris Bricker and Port Commissioner Pam Petranek meet up with shipwright Robert D’Arcy, the project’s lead, along with Jasper, the yacht’s young Captain for a conversation about this storied vessel.

#687 Baby Dungeness Crabs and Light Traps

(Airdate: September 4, 2024) Dungeness crabs are hugely important in the Pacific Northwest – commercially, recreationally, ecologically, and traditionally. Yet scientists and resource managers don’t know how big the population is, how and why it varies over time, or how significant natural and human caused factors can impact these populations. Join Nan Evans to explore how new and cooperative efforts (and some very simple techniques) are trying to better understand the dynamic Dungeness crab populations.
