Coast Guard teaches boating safety Oct. 28
ILWACO, WASH. — Most boat-
ing experiences are positive,
the stuff memories are made
of. But the most joyful times
can quickly turn deadly if
boaters are not vigilant about
safety at all times. As a boat
operator or passenger, you
can become educated on
ways to be safe while on the
water.
From 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday, Oct. 28, the Coast
Guard Auxiliary will offer an
in-depth recreational Boating
Safely class to the public.
It will be held at the Port of
Ilwaco Conference Room
(street side upstairs), 165
Howerton Ave. Arrive at 8:15
a.m. to sign in.
This class meets the re-
quirements for the mandatory
Washington Boater Education
Card upon successful com-
pletion.
Washington law requires
recreational boat operators
age 59 or younger to carry a
boater education card when
operating a recreational
boat in Washington. This
includes operating a personal
watercraft or any motorized
watercraft 15 horsepower
or greater. You can be cited
a hefty fine for not having a
card. Many boat insurance
companies will offer boating
insurance discounts to those
who successfully complete a
Boating Safely class.
Topics include safe
boating laws, operating your
boat safely and other boating
tips, avoiding collisions and
accidents, navigation, boating
emergencies and rescue,
and trailering, storing and
protecting your boat. You can
also make arrangements with
Auxiliarists to conduct cour-
tesy vessel examinations. All
boaters are reminded that safe
navigation is the responsibili-
ty of each vessel’s operator.
The class costs $10, which
includes all class materials
and a Washington boating
booklet.

tions, contact Elena Righettini

‘Fat of the Land’ author shares
journey at Seaside library
SEASIDE — The Friends
of the Seaside Library
welcomes Langdon Cook,
author of “Fat of the Land:
Adventures of a 20th Cen-
tury Forager,” 7 p.m. Thurs-
day, Nov. 2. The event will
take place in the Commu-
nity Room. There will be
book sales and signings.
We will explore the Pa-
cific Northwest via Cook’s
adventures in foraging and
discover a regional stew of
food, natural history and
oddball characters. Forag-
ing is not just a throwback
to our hunter-gatherer past;
it’s a way to reconnect with
the landscape.
And Cook is not your
typical grocery cart-toting
dad. For him, gourmet
delicacies abound, free for
the taking if we just open
our eyes.
He finds himself
free-diving in icy Puget
Sound in hopes of spearing
a snaggletooth lingcod,
armed with nothing more
than a “Hawaiian sling.” He
tempts fate by eating mush-
rooms that may or may not
be poisonous. He strings
up a fly rod to chase after
sea-run trout. He even pulls
on the gardening gloves
to collect stinging nettles.
He traces his journey from
wrangler of prepackaged
calories to connoisseur of
coveted wild edibles.
In addition, Cook will
focus on specific food
types, organized around
seasons of the year, and
conclude with recipes
featuring the author’s hard-
won bounty.
Cook was a senior book
editor at Amazon until, in
2004, he left the corporate
world to live in a cabin
off the grid with his wife
and son. Now a freelance
writer and editor, Lang
has written for the San
Francisco Bay Guardian,
Outside, Gray’s Sporting
Journal, Fly Fisherman, the
Stranger, Seattle Metro-
politan and Conservation
Magazine.

Library is located at 1131
