LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A power boat crashed into a jetty in Southern California, killing one man and injuring 10 other people, officials said.

The Long Beach Fire Department responded to reports around 9:20 p.m. on Wednesday that a 48-foot (15-meter) boat had crashed into the Alamitos Bay jetty, officials said Thursday.

Capt. Jack Crabtree, of the Long Beach Fire Department, said speed was likely a factor, with initial estimates indicating the boat was traveling at roughly 40 mph (64 kph), the Los Angeles Times reported .

All 10 people who were injured were taken to hospitals.

No other information was released and the investigation is ongoing.

A jetty is a long, narrow structure that extends from shore into water.

Here's everything to know about this year's Boat Week

That time has come once again for Boat Week, Port Huron's largest summer celebration.

Downtown Development Authority Director Natacha Hayden said Port Huron is a huge boating community and that Boat Week has always been a draw for the area. She said the festival has a significant economic impact on Port Huron.

And Hayden said the 100th Bayview Mackinac Race is expected to draw a huge crowd to the area.

"We're a large boating community and to have the largest sailboat race in our backyard is such an honor," she said.

Hayden said Port Huron expected 60,000 people coming to the area for last year's Boat Week. She said downtown is expecting similar numbers, if not more for this year.

Once again, Blue Water Transit will be providing free shuttle services from 4 p.m. to midnight on Thursday and Friday of Boat Week. The shuttles will run from Desmond Landing to the Blue Water Area Transit Center at McMorran.

The full scope of Boat Week activities, as well as full details on the 100th Bayview Mackinac Race, can be found at www.thebluewaterfest.com .

Fun for the whole family

Like always, the Port Huron Rotary Parade will be kicking off Boat Week at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. This year's parade theme is "All Hands On Deck- A Century of Sailing." The route will begin at Huron and Glenwood avenues, continue through downtown, then turn at Court Street before disbanding at Desmond Landing.

Operation Transformation will be offering free family activities from 5 to 9 p.m. on Thursday on the lawn nearby the 10th Street Bridge. Family Night activities include a petting zoo, bounce house, live music, carnival games and much more.

New to Boat Week is the Fun Zone, which will be taking place on Thursday and Friday. Hayden said the Fun Zone is like an extension of Operation Transformation's Family Night and is replacing the traditional carnival.

"Our surveys from last year showed that the community wasn't satisfied with the carnival," Hayden said. "But the demand for family-friendly activities also increased. We wanted to ensure families had multiple places they could enjoy themselves."

The Fun Zone will be located at McMorran and will have activities such as face painting, jugglers, magicians, a Lego station, yard games and more.

Drone show, street fair, social district and more

Boat Week will not be having a firework show this year. Instead, there will be a drone show with the theme of Port Huron and boats. Hayden said the actual formations during the drone show will be a surprise for everyone, including herself.

Hayden said Boat Week organizers wanted to try something different this year, especially because the 100th Port Huron-to-Mackinac Island Sailboat Race will be happening on Saturday.

"We wanted to ensure a different, unique experience," she said.

The drone show is sponsored by Moses Roses and the designs for the show are by Firefly Drone Shows. The show will begin at 10 p.m. and will be viewable from Desmond Landing.

The Boat Week Street Fair will encompass two blocks of Huron Avenue in downtown Port Huron. Street closures will be located along Huron Avenue, from its intersections at Andrew Murphy Avenue and the Military Street Bridge; along McMorran Boulevard, from its intersections with Superior Mall and Huron Avenue; along Quay Street, from Grand River Avenue and Fort Street; a section of Grand River Avenue from Superior Mall to Michigan Street.

Over 80 local and Michigan-based vendors will be present at the street fair. The Blue Water Street Fair will take place from 4 to 9 p.m. on Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday. New this year, however, is that the street fair will be extended in to Saturday.

Hayden said this is to keep the celebration going during the race.

"With there being a record number of boats leaving on Saturday morning, we're also expecting a lot of people downtown at the same time," she said.

The street fair will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Port Huron's social district allows people carry their drinks within a certain boundary around downtown. These drinks are marked within a specialist social district cup from the establishment they were purchased.

The social district includes Bootlegger's Axe Co., Brass Rail Bar, Casey's, CityFlatsHotel, Lynch's, McMorran Place, Raven Cafe, Senor Tequila, Sperry's, Vintage Tavern and Wings Etc. New additions to the social district include Belle River Winery, the Foundry, Mooncursers and the Wrigley Center.

Mannequins Making a Difference has moved locations this year and will now be stationed at the Military Street Bridge. Hayden said the move in location will give the mannequins more space.

The live mannequins can be seen modeling from 5:30 to 10 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. More information on how to vote for your favorite mannequins, the fundraising effort and participating businesses and sponsors can be found at www.facebook.com/MannequinsMakingADifference .

Friday night, also known as Boat Night, is festivalgoers last chance to check out the boats before they sail off on Saturday morning. In previous years, it was the last chance to take in most festivities, but that has changed slightly with the street fair now expanding in Saturday.

"I believe the reason behind calling Friday, the Boat Night is simply because it is a night to come to downtown Port Huron and look at all the boats before they sail away on Saturday," Hayden said.

Finally on Saturday morning, people can have an all-you-can-eat breakfast with the Kiwanis Club of the Blue Water Area while they watch the boats leave Port Huron. Breakfast will take place from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. dockside underneath the Huntington State Bank in downtown Port Huron.

Music acts everyone can enjoy

There are five performance stages for Boat Week this year, with one located at McMorran and the others placed along Quay Street. All performance stages are free admission.

More information on the music acts and where they will perform can be found at www.thebluewaterfest.com/music/ .

While all stages have free admission, the Boats and Boots stage will have a VIP area that include a bar and bathrooms, as well as closer proximity to the performance. VIP tickets start at $30 and can be purchased on the Blue Water Fest website.

100 years of boat races

The 100th Bayview Mackinac Race will be taking place at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. This year's race will see 334 boats, a record number since the race's inception. Race Chairman Charlie Trost said that number is a huge accomplishment, as the previous record was set in 1985 with 316 boats.

Trost said reaching the 100th race just shows the longevity and support of the sailing community.

"It just speaks volumes," he said. "The 100th year only happens once, and we want to make it special."

2024-PreReg - Bayview Mackinac Race

This year's race will be following the original course created in 1925, which will take boats north along the shoreline before heading west, passing south of Bois Blanc Island and finishing west to east at the finish line between Round Island and Mackinac Island. This course is 204 nautical miles.

Like previous years, the race will kick off to the sound of bagpipes from the Port Huron Yacht Club.

This year, Bayview partnered with Peanuts to celebrate the race's 100th anniversary and Peanuts' 50th anniversary. Sailors will receive special shirts with Snoopy and Woodstock to commemorate the race.

Sailors will also receive participation medallions. This year's winner will also receive champagne.

Port Huron Yacht Club Commodore Doug Lowe said the club is extremely excited for the 100th race because it has been involved with the race since the beginning. As a way to commemorate that history, the Port Huron Yacht Club donated a Bayview Race Program from the first race to the Port Huron Museum.

Detroit Liquid Ventures is this year's beer sponsor, and it has created a special 100th anniversary beer to celebrate. The first 300 boats that registered for the race will be receiving some of the beer.

Secrets of Successful Cruising

By: Julie Cappelli Boat Shows , Cruising Tips

“What’s your secret sauce?” is a question I get asked frequently, and not just about the scrumptious creations I whip up in our galley, even in the lumpiest, bumpiest of seas. Usually, curious cruisers are wondering how our transition from being landlubbers to full-time sailors appears to be as smooth as the surface of the sea on your first morning in the doldrums. How did we buy the right boat? How did we take off across the Pacific a mere five months after buying said boat, with very few ripples in our plans, relationship, and lives? And my personal favorite, how the heck did my husband talk me into doing all this crazy cruising nonsense?

That last question is surprisingly the most straightforward to answer, so I’ll start there: my husband didn’t have to talk me into any of this crazy cruising nonsense. We reached the decision together and work hard to remain a team of co-captains rather than competitors trapped on a small sailing vessel with no escape from each other. To cruise successfully and harmoniously as a couple, you too must find balance between work and play, his and her passions, and safely navigate the different learning styles we all have. Which brings me to one of the most important secrets to successful cruising: men and women learn differently. And if you want to set sail for distant horizons, there is a lot of learning to do.

A good place to start is learning to sail, which shouldn’t be a secret but often seems like it is. To this day we credit our exceptional ASA 101 instructor for his relentless patience as we slowly learned the language of sailing, trying not to let the oppressive heat of the Arizona desert melt our brains or enthusiasm. Who knew there was a whole separate language, let alone code of conduct on the water to learn before we were competent enough to skipper a boat of our own?

Once you’ve learned the lingo and the basics of sailing, a great next step is purchasing a sailboat of your own. And I don’t mean the dream boat that you intend to sail away on, or even a racing dinghy. A little trailer sailor you can take out on the weekends or burn all your vacation time using will serve you much better in terms of preparing to voyage to far-flung places around the globe.

Your goal should be to learn this boat inside and out. We spent nearly two years sailing our 1976 Windrose 18, Moxie , nearly every weekend after we decided to go cruising but before we left our jobs. The quick responsiveness of a small, light boat helped us both hone our understanding of boat handling and sail trim without risking safety or sanity on a bigger boat where far greater forces are at play. Being able to take Moxie out whenever we pleased kept us engaged, motivated, and excited, even when our departure date felt forever away. Plus, you’ll earn boat ownership brownie points which could help you qualify for insurance on your next boat. Ladies, as soon as you are comfortable (or perhaps even a little before that), invite your best gal pals out for a spouse-less sail. There is no better way to build your confidence as a skipper which is essential to your success if you’ll be sailing shorthanded.

Can you fix everything on your boat with what’s in your brain and on your boat? If not, that’s your next step, and one of our greatest secrets to successful cruising: true self-sufficiency. When you are cruising in truly remote places or on an offshore passage, you are your own little island of existence in the deep blue sea. And there are responsibilities that come with that awesome reality; to yourself, to your crew, and to your boat. That’s why when you are out in the middle of the ocean your best and only resources are what’s in your brain and what’s on your boat. If you can’t fix or figure out anything that goes awry with the skills you’ve acquired or the resources you’ve stowed in the depths of your lockers, it’s highly likely that your cruise will be cut short and made more challenging by pressing maintenance needs.

It may seem counterintuitive, but investing in high-quality preparatory training is yet another secret that we find continues to pay dividends year after year. At a minimum, you should both take a sail repair workshop, sign up for a hands-on engine service workshop, and attend an electrical troubleshooting class. There simply is no substitute for hands-on learning on how to turn wrenches, properly crimp wire terminations, perfectly tension a halyard, or quickly grind in a reef. Pay close attention to the books and resources used so you can start building your onboard reference library. We find that couples who attend workshops and trainings together tend to enjoy doing boat maintenance more and are better equipped for success when it comes to repair projects. Attending events like these will also help you build your network of other like-minded soon-to-be cruisers, which becomes vitally important as your departure date draws near and the relative comfort of land life tightens its grip on your seafaring spirit.

Be sure to leave room on your calendar and in your budget to complete a liveaboard ocean sail training course that’s at least one week long. Choose an expedition-style course that teaches both traditional and electronic navigation and includes watch standing, sailing at night, and shorthanded man overboard retrieval. Many of our students wish they had prioritized this earlier in the process of preparing to go cruising, so schedule this well before you cast off the docklines for your grand adventure, and ideally before you purchase your cruising boat. It will give you a taste of what ocean voyaging is really like, help you build good boatkeeping habits, and you’ll start to learn what attributes you truly need versus want in your cruising boat.

Are you sensing a theme here? There is no better way to set yourself up for success than by spending time on boats fiddling with sail trim, enacting repairs, and learning how to cook your favorite meals in a galley that rarely stays still. You’ve got to get out there and just do it, but in an environment that allows room for growth and development. Make it your mission to return home with a solid foundation in ocean sailing and seamanship plus more salty souls to add to your cruising network.

You can’t go wrong by focusing on practical preparation, which is probably one of the best-kept secrets of cruising prep. The sooner and more often you work on becoming a self-reliant sailor, the better you will be equipped to tackle the challenges of extended cruising and boat ownership.

The timeless mantra of keeping it simple rings true for all successful long-term cruisers. Keep your boat and its systems as simple as you can. Endeavor to keep the remnants of your land life simple too, but always leave yourself a means to return when you need to. Whether it be budgeting for breaks ashore, maintaining a part-time residence you can return to, or just a nest egg reserved for when the time to plant roots again comes. It takes a lot of effort to achieve your cruising goals, and you deserve to enjoy the fruits of your hard work. Keeping it all simple and giving yourself an “out” will help you relax and appreciate the cruising life even more. Hopefully with a smile and frosty beverage in hand!

There are of course many more ingredients to create your personal recipe for successful cruising, such as identifying your individual cruising goals, selecting the right boat to match your agreed upon goals, and keeping the promise you made to yourself to actually GO.

We’ll be sharing loads more of our best secrets for successful cruising during our three-hour American Sailing Seminar at the Annapolis Boat Show on October 11 from 9am-12pm. Hope to see you there!
