Had it not been for them, when I moved to Richmond, I would have had a much different life in the Bay Area. Thanks for honoring Jim like you have. I can't think of anyone who deserves it more.
Hi Dave, First off, just wanted to say Thank You to you and everyone there at your shop for our great A3. We have really enjoyed having it and all the other sails you had made for us. We flew the A3 for over 8 hours the other day with only one jibe, it was just great. As always thanks for the help. Around , three s were shipped up from the builder in L.

With gratitude to all the local businesses working tirelessly to serve us under these difficult conditions �we salute you!
Mark Jordan. Bay Area! I recently finished reading Opening Day, a novel that follows the life and times of Alex Skarsen through the eras of commercial fishing along the West Coast. It's by Ernie Koepf, a local retired fisherman who spoke at the eighth annual Herring Festival, which was virtual this year. It has many lessons to teach in crisis management. We found this super-cool illustration of Captain Jack Aubrey, right, playing the violin, and ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin playing cello.

Racing results, interviews and insights for sports enthusiasts. Meeks Kelvin is referring to a January 15 'Lectronic with the same name as this letter. Pamir took its load of "coke, iron, cement, and bales of goods" from Germany to Chile.
Written in , the book reminds me of the old library books from my s school days: musty smelling, pages turning brown, binding starting to come apart. The book offers a truly vivid description of the ship, the crew, and the workings of one of the last wooden squarerigged merchant ships sailing around the Horn.
I found this gem among the magazines and paperbacks on the tugboat I was delivering from Vallejo to Los Angeles last year. Ron Harben. Krista Swedberg spent the first half of sailing aboard the ft bark 'Europa', which was forced to change plans because of the pandemic. Krista, who snapped this photo from aloft, clearly made the best of a bad year. Makes sense, being a sailboat with heaps of canvas, and the fact that over years ago, that's how they did it!
They are the best in the world. Life is better with a boat. This little unknown speaks volumes about the skill needed even to get past the start of this adventure, and probably contributed to the early Atlantic carnage heading south toward the Cape of Good Hope. Oh, and maybe a UFO or two helping you along, by striking your competitors, in the Southern Ocean run near Cape Town � Jean Le Cam kept attracting them like he was tossing out bait for just the right Sunday dinner.
The last 30 hours of the race should hold me until She truly is a ray of sunshine and light and her glass is always half full. Hopefully she will be in the Southern Ocean four years from now. Congratulations to Pip, and all the competitors. Eric L Rouzee Pacific Northwest. Side handrails and window covers included. Pip Hare takes a moment to enjoy one of her 95 sunsets or sunrises at sea during her solo, nonstop circumnavigation. Eric � Thanks for adding that.
It was a real West Coast undertaking, and we appreciate your giving credit to another major component of the Ocean Planet project. When she was being interviewed before the start, she said, "I had a Swallows and Amazon upbringing. Daniel � Just to wrap your thought up, Swallows and Amazons was a children's adventure novel by English author and journalist Arthur Ransome. Here's an excerpt: "But the big hills up at the lake helped to make him feel that the houseboat man did not matter.
The hills had been there before Captain Flint. They would be there for ever. That, somehow was comforting. Just one more challenge for AC teams in that they need to build a boat that is on the edge of the specs, but still has some room for the unexpected.
So happy to see that the crew was safe and sound. Michael Grant. Houston, we have liftoff� and a problem. In mid-January, American Magic's 'Patriot' was going for a bear-away jibe when she took to the sky. Initial speculation was that a stuck running back prevented the crew from sheeting out the main.
Regardless, 'Patriot' ultimately capsized and took heavy damage. Kudos to Emirates Team New Zealand for immediately coming to the rescue of the stricken American vessel. American Magic has since been eliminated from the 36th America's Cup. Would the organizing committees cancel an Indy or a Formula 1 race because the weather changed after the start? My guess is that most of the crew on these boats have seen far more varied conditions in their sailing careers.
All the designers and engineers have to do is create boats that can finish the course. Over the years, a few F1 races have been postponed or halted because of monsoon conditions. Gold Coast Yachts is the leader in custom composite multihulls with over 35 years of innovation and quality. We have built Boat Slips For Sale Lake Norman Valve over custom multihulls in the US Virgin Islands. In Auckland for the Prada Cup, several unstable heavy weather systems were forecast to pass through the racecourse area during the races.
This new America's Cup Class 75 is very fast, and potentially very fragile and dangerous. Those stormy conditions were not the time to push the envelope and see if the foiling monohulls would survive unscathed. They didn't. The other two teams could have potentially suffered the same fate that American Magic did. Everyone wants to see these boats at speed, but the conditions in mid-January were extreme, and a postponement was in order. But, as the teams noted, the conditions fell within the range of the rules.
That doesn't mean that race management should have gone forward. The rest of the world can watch for free.
I have canceled [my cable service] and returned their cable box! It doesn't sound crazy. It would cut approximately 2, miles and four days off an Asia-to-Gulf of Mexico or East Coast service. It would allow transshipment onto smaller ships in the Gulf of Mexico. However, it would eliminate the Panama Canal fee. Yes, it would require miles of road improvement, but these are the kinds of infrastructure projects that most countries love to do.
I have been on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico several times. I think sailing from Coatzacoalcos to the Leeward Islands would be a lot easier and faster than going through the Canal. A good idea, either by rail or road, but I am skeptical.
Ken Frazee. Could boats be 'shipped' over this land route someday? Just to let you know, the Mexican government has implemented a new rule for boats clearing into Mexico. The third owner from whom we purchased Hula Kai had paid the second owner's fine back in , and the port officer issued him a new TIP.
Thank God the owner from whom we purchased Hula Kai was with us when we arrived in Mexico on December 18, He had to cancel his TIP, and that's when all this started.
It didn't make sense that they wanted to go back 15 years and charge us for a TIP that would have expired back in The Marina Coral helped us get it resolved. We had to wait on pins and needles until December 26, We were. Local skippers might be accustomed to it, but the crew of a boat in transit up or down the coast would be struggling to enter or exit.
I've been surprised by sweeping currents in the Friday Harbor marina in the San Juan Islands � they come under the floating breakwater � but nothing like this video clip. Peter Detwiler Bay Area. The marina had and probably still has three solid sides, but the fourth side is Fisherman's Wharf, which sits on pilings. Swells can flow under the Wharf and into the marina, and if the period is just right, the marina will fail to "empty" before the next swell flows in.
Water being what it is, a rotary movement starts to develop, and the marina entrance becomes a whirlpool. Boats come loose.
One time it was a whole finger pier with a boat attached. Amazingly, the local Shields fleet would still sail out and in for their races, though I'd swear I heard some nervous whistling on occasion. Tim Mickleburgh. To be sure you're getting the best insurance value please contact us for a quote. Two days before, a boat came in, and the crew were told they'd have to pay a hefty fine or leave within 72 hours. They returned to San Diego.
This is something people buying older boats need to be aware of if they plan to cruise Mexico. We are the fourth owner of Hula Kai. Luckily for us, we finally got our TIP on December I was so grateful to Juan at Marina Coral going to bat for us. Is this a "new rule," or was this isolated to the particular port you were dealing with? It seems that one of the most challenging aspects of acquiring the proper TIP and navigating a foreign government's bureaucracy is simply understanding what the rules are.
We've heard some people say that it was easy; we've heard some people say that it was a near-Homeric odyssey to get the coveted permit. We'll keep our ear to the ground to see if there's been a systemwide change, but if you've had to get a TIP recently, please tell us how it went. I see other areas are making a go of it, like San Diego.
Richardson Bay near Sausalito also comes to mind as a source of perhaps both good news Boat Slips For Sale Lake Norman Quest and concern. I say this because it seems to me that one should be able to provide mooring fields for responsible boat owners and penalize lack of responsibility. I don't think it should be a Coast Guard problem, but there should be some kind of licensing mandate for reasonable mooring activities. A boat sinking may be a bad time to fine someone � it can happen to the best of mariners � and proving responsible maintenance may be hard to police.
In my opinion, there should not be a need for police unless there is a problem that dictates men with guns are required. A beautiful boat can sink, and an ugly boat may not indicate lack of maintenance of critical systems. But my fundamental concern with the Bay Area is the lack of mooring facilities. Mike Mike is referring to the January 18 'Lectronic with the same name as his letter. We have quite a few floating shopping carts.
There's an old powerboat with an outboard strapped to the stern that I've seen for years. They were towing a nice ft dinghy with a new Yamaha. I jokingly said, "Wow you stole a nice dinghy. Maybe some of us could volunteer to help keep these people's homes safe and afloat. It's tough out there for a lot of us; we should act accordingly. Nick Mulford. Maybe we need stronger enforcement of anchor-outs?
Everybody needs to play by the same rules. There seems to be a significant bloc of people that support the anchor-outs, perhaps to offset their guilt at living in multimillion-dollar homes.
Martin Thomas Mike � We're going to have to agree with Jack here; this is not a Bay- or even California-specific problem. People who are "housing insecure" are drawn to the abundance of cheap and free boats, creating an anchor-out population of non-sailors on less-than-seaworthy vessels.
It should always be mentioned that there's also an anchor-out community made up of seasoned sailors on well-found boats, but this group has precious few options for legal, long-term anchoring or mooring in the Bay Area.
We agree with you, Mike, that the Bay Area has an embarrassing lack of mooring facilities, and we'll spare you our oft-repeated lamentations on the Bay's lack of boating infrastructure.
Richardson Bay has certainly seen more enforcement in the past five years than it had in the past few decades, but the next set of letters will show that there are still scores of boats anchored out that cannot stand up to Bay Area winter weather, which wreaks havoc on local marinas downwind of the moorings.
Ken � More enforcement of the rules? It sounds good on paper, but a common theme in the zeitgeist is that the police already have too much to do. When you factor homelessness, drug addiction and mental illness � and the more existential problem of a housing crisis � into the anchor-out issue, you're talking about something that's ultimately well beyond the purview of the police.
Besides, the most cops can do with an illegal anchor-out is ask them to leave, so the anchor-out crosses the Bay and drops the hook somewhere else, creating a game of Whac-a-Mole. By the way, the Coast Guard almost always defers anchor-out issues to local authorities so that it can focus on its primary missions: Homeland Security, rescues, and narcotics-trafficking enforcement.
Sausalito has tried to use city and county social services. Sea Frost Welcome to the cold! The boat above was one of five yes, five that dragged in Schoonmaker Point Marina in Sausalito. These programs are controversial because some people feel that you're essentially rewarding people who aren't selfsufficient and who've broken the rules. That is no doubt a hard pill for some taxpayers to swallow, but cities actually spend more money when they arrest and jail people, only to have those people back on the water when they get out.
San Diego is often lauded as a California public-mooring success story. And it is! But every orchard � even in 'America's Finest City' � has some bad apples. The waterfront has historically had its seedy corners populated with a motley band of characters.
We just hope that there's a way to keep some 'color' at the shore while also keeping people's property safe from theft or foundering boats. It's no accident they call Sausalito's "Hurricane Gulch" after its namesake. Any idea that this is a safe anchorage in winter is completely unfounded.
Scores of people have died over the decades. Unfortunately, first responders are called out always at the peak of the storm to rescue them. It's dangerous, expensive and avoidable. If only RBRA would enforce the statutes already on its books; a hour anchorage means 72 hours.
Peter Le Lievre Nauticat Sausalito Peter � Just to revisit our last response: There is surprisingly little under the law that police can do when someone is living on their boat, even if they're in clear violation of a hour anchoring restriction. The best they can do is call the police, and so goes the cycle. I really think there needs to be a permanent mooring solution for the Bay so that at least if people are moored out they are safe and other boats are safe.

It's amazing how much mirth a bunch of crew on a boom can create. Mind you, it's not a sight we see very often, if ever. Who has been that person straddling the boom while jibing?

SIGHTINGS bill kreysler � sailing serendipity Bill Kreysler remembers to this day how his dad put him in a lifejacket, plucked him up, put him down into a little dinghy kind of like an El Toro, then pushed him off the dock.
That's how he learned to sail. It was a terrifying yet defining moment, as the young lad, about 5 at the time, sailed across the little yacht harbor screaming at the top of his lungs before crashing unceremoniously into the transom of the commodore's powerboat.
The greatest thing he discovered was that if he was sailing his little boat, he was his own boss at a young age � that was pretty neat, he thought. While he had no clue at the time where that short jaunt might take him, Kreysler's life has been one of being his own boss as well as one where he's been able to help other kids achieve that fabulous "aha" moment of youth independence. Growing up sailing on and around San Diego Bay, Kreysler got into racing in his early teens, crewing on a Lightning for his friend Howard Makin.
He also crewed in the Star Boat with Don Bever, who had just won the continued on outside column of next sightings page. Right page: 'Murano' sailing back in the days when photographers were still using film. I would read sailing magazines and every book in our local library even remotely related to days on the water. Now here in the Bay Area, each day looks like a great day for sailing to me. Even so, some folks still slip away to the hills for the winter and then, come spring, head for their yachts.
Many people are under the impression sailing is difficult and expensive. I always say, "It should not be difficult. Get that bottom cleaned. Get it scrubbed by a reputable diver. If he says it is simply too manky and needs to be hauled and painted, get'er done now before the yards are jammed. A clean bottom means. Clean and lubricate that rig, get up to the masthead and lubricate the sheaves, check the spreader boots, address any chafe.
Replace the lines that need it. If it's blowing 10 knots and your mainsheet won't run out on its own, it's time for a new one. Get those sails ready for the season. Get your sailmaker down to your yacht or get the sails to the loft. It's so much easier to reinforce, and to repair small issues before they become big ones. Practice docking. My old boss once.
Star World Championships. Bever promised to take him to the Star North Americans, but reneged on the deal just a few weeks prior to the regatta. Kreysler, who was about 16 at the time, and light � not Star Boat material � was disappointed. But as things do tend to work out, another sailor in the Bay Area needed a last-minute crew for the same regatta. That sailor was Don Trask. It was , and Kreysler got his first-ever plane ticket to Cleveland, where he met Trask. The pair went out and won the North American Championships.
Kreysler had just graduated from San Diego State and was married, so he needed to get a real job. While his degree in English literature was an unlikely foundation for his future business undertakings, Kreysler considers that his technical interests probably sprang from working summers for his godfather at his foundry in San Diego.
His years working with Trask were great for Kreysler. As he describes, Don was a force of nature, having basically created the Laser phenomenon in the Western United States. As he recalls, it was Paul Cayard's dad who enlightened him that there were things that could be done with fiberglass other than build boats.
Kreysler threw his time and energy into his business, which is still growing and flourishing. He loves his work, so much so that he has not sailed as much as he would have liked in these past years.
But he has found time to stay connected to his sailing community. An active member of St. Francis Yacht Club, he is past president of the St. Francis Sailing Foundation, where he has been instrumental in mentoring youth sailors like Caleb Paine, bronze medalist in the Olympic Games.
I enjoy going to work in the morning, and I enjoy the feeling you get from helping somebody else get started on a path that is going to serve them well for their whole lives," Kreysler reflected. And, while it took a pandemic to incentivize him, last summer he finally dusted the cobwebs off his beloved Knarr, Murano, which he bought and restored 25 years ago, and took her sailing for the first time in literally 20 years.
I don't have the time or ability anymore to race at a really high level, but last summer I got a little bit of a taste of what I've been missing! Hire a pro to coach you for a few hours � so much easier than bump and circumstances. Review your safety gear and plan ahead. Check your lifejackets, VHF radio and thru-hull plugs.
Make sure you have a sturdy bucket and a healthy mate. Lifejackets are only effective if people wear them because they are comfortable, even stylish. Don Trask's business was Performance Sailcraft Corp. Don negotiated a 'license' from them to build Lasers for the Western US, which as Kreysler stated, "We liberally interpreted as including Mexico and got a fleet going in Valle de Bravo, which was great fun. Over the years we've written many stories of dreamers and doers who, with vision and determination, work to bring their dreams alive.
Some go on to accomplish all they dreamed of and others gain an education and experience that can provide guidance to future dreamers. One of those stories is that of David Vann. Back in , we wrote about a ft aluminum trimaran called Tin Can, Vann was assembling at Napa Valley Marina for an attempted nonstop circumnavigation of the world.
We admire persistence but know it's not the only ingredient necessary for success. After 12 years of hard work and three attempts, the project appears to have ended.
First Tri The date was February David Vann arrived with three aluminum hulls that he'd constructed in Florida with a plan to build a ft aluminum trimaran on a shoestring budget. Esquire magazine had the right to his story, which would be told as he circumnavigated the world.
The boat had no engine, and the main hull where he would be living was only 3 feet wide. We towed him out of the Napa River, and he made it to Monterey before having structural problems. He brought the boat back to us, where it was stored for the next 11 years. Second Tri In spring , after several years as an English literature professor in the UK and after publishing several books, David Vann was on to another adventure. He advertised for new crew on Crew Seekers with the promise of a Pacific crossing to the Philippines.
One crewmember came from Belgium, another from France, one from New Zealand and another from Florida. Truckloads of sheet aluminum arrived and David would work feverishly 12 hours a day, welding, grinding, and cutting. Using his original trimaran and making modifications to the hulls, he managed to erect a two-story cabin. A few months later the rebuilt and updated Tin Can left the marina, this time with a four-stroke outboard.
She made it out the Mare Island Strait, turned right into the Carquinez Strait and had problems Vann didn't anticipate. The problems included keeping the outboard in the water and that the outer hulls would get buried in the water in a good blow, making it difficult to steer the boat. Back she came, and we hauled her out yet again. More truckloads of aluminum showed up, and once again he put in long hours welding, cutting, and grinding.
He solicited Crew Seekers for crew for another adventure and was lucky to get a few recruits willing to share his passion with the hope of sailing west in the Pacific Ocean and beyond. Four months later, on June 24, David headed out with an experienced female captain en route to Sausalito, where he picked up a second experienced captain.
Their first port would be Hawaii. David had a Garmin inReach satellite communicator that allowed him to keep in daily contact with a friend on the mainland as well as to receive. The new VHF radios can be confusing, I had a skippering job last year that required me to update the software to make it operational. Batteries last maybe five to seven years, depending on all kinds of factors. Make sure yours are ready to carry the load for a long day on the water and still fire up the iron genny when you're ready to get home.
An easy test: Unplug the umbilical. On or about July 5, contact was lost and David's land contact called us at the marina. He was ready to call the Coast Guard but wanted to know what kind of survival equipment David might have.
The Coast Guard sent out a C search plane and found the third tri safe but disabled, with no rudder. A container ship was directed to help. The sailors abandoned their vessel and headed to Hawaii aboard the ship. The Coast Guard monitored Third Tri, making sure she would eventually drift out of the shipping channel and out of harm's way, which she did.
A few weeks later, a fisherman found David's boat close to the north shore of Oahu. Just shows you how your life can hang on a thin thread. For reference, see www. She organized a catch-up and learned about the years that led to Robbie Cleveland's Australian sailing life.
Robbie was 8 years old when, inspired by his grandfather who was a sailor and was "everything about the ocean," he had his first sailing lesson. Skip ahead two years, and the now year-old Robbie is sailing with his dad in the Bahamas. I thought, 'I'll take my dad out,' because he's not really a sailor. But my dad was, 'No, no, no,' and says he's going to take it out first.
He falls off and loads his foot up with sea urchins. He comes out of the water like a Polaris missile! So there went the sailing. As a young teenager in Florida, Robbie began sailing Snipes.
I thought California was San Diego, and it wasn't anything like that. We were in Danville, just south of Walnut Creek, 30 minutes or so from Berkeley. Together they enjoyed many adventures out of Berkeley Yacht Club. Before long, Robbie was seeking bigger adventures and moved to Southern California, where he finished college and began his professional sailing career.
My instructor invited me on a couple of trips. I met the skipper and started working with him taking care of the boat, a ft ferrocement ketch, Sea Mentor. He saw that I could sail, and when he couldn't make it, I would do it. We were building high-performance racing catamarans, and we built some for Gino Morrelli and Randy Smyth. Engine maintenance from pencil zincs to oil pressure: Make sure the machine is ready to fire up easily.
Rumor has it no one has ever worn out a marine diesel; they always get killed first. Figuring they have scorching-hot exhaust, cold saltwater and electricity flowing through them, what could possibly go wrong?
Either take a close look or get a pro to do the same. Head and hot water issues: Let's face it, we all gotta go, and if you're fortunate to have a vessel with hot pressure water, folks are gonna wanna wash their hands. If the head is stinky, the hoses may have become saturated or maybe your holding tank needs a healthy flush.
Improvements are nearly always worth the investment. If you are struggling to put in a reef, if it takes longer than one minute, consider installing single-line reef-.
If you want to improve your upwind performance, consider an Boat Slips For Sale Lake Norman Spectrum adjustable backstay or make sure the one you have is simple to use and gets you some forestay tension on those windy summer days.
If that spinnaker has not been used since the Reagan administration, maybe it's time for a spinnaker furler or at least a snuffer device.

I got my captain's license, and at one point did charters for the Ritz-Carlton at Dana Point.
It was during a subsequent delivery from Dana Point to Panama that he realized she was a good match for his seafaring soul. He was freaking out and was going to call mayday, thought that we were sinking. She stood watches, and she wasn't sick. And then there was the flying fish I left on her pillow; when I survived that, I knew she was the one. Jordan Lake is a wooded lake oasis located just south of Raleigh and Durham. S Highway 64 crosses the lake, and it is also convenient to I and Highway 1.
Restaurants, retail stores, schools, parks, golf courses, and medical centers are a short drive away. Travelers will appreciate having the Raleigh-Durham International Airport nearby, along with a variety of hotels and rental-car stations. The large and beautiful Jordan Lake covers 13, acres and has miles of shoreline. Its dam was built in at the meeting place of the Haw and New Hope Rivers. Surrounded by tall-standing pines, Jordan Lake is also one of the most significant summertime habitats for bald eagles.
All sorts of water activities happen on Jordan Lake: pontooning, powerboating, water skiing, tubing, sailing, fishing, and more. Anglers are attracted to the lake for its populations of largemouth bass, crappie, striper, hybrids, bream, catfish, and white perch.
Crosswinds Boating Center offers the only gas pumps on the water. You can also rent boats, kayaks, canoes, or boat slips from the marina. There are seven swimming beaches between the parks, 14 miles of hiking trails, boat ramps, five campgrounds, and an abundance of wildlife.

While doing some kite-flying with the other kids, Mandy is inspired to want to fly over Pontypandy Mountain. Hannah Sparkes tells her that her father, Joe, has just the thing - a hot air balloon.
Unfortunately, hungry Lambykins causes the balloon to float away with her in it alone and eventually causes it to crash-land in a tree.
When Joe and Mike discover that Norman is entering Pontypandy's big go-cart race, The Pontypandy Cup, they get very nostalgic about the go-carts they made when they were kids.
Joe's competitiveness gets the best of him when he finds himself unable to stop his rocket-powered go-cart and it becomes a jet-ski when he ends up driving it into the sea. The Pontypandy Pioneers are working towards their construction badges and they decide to build a treehouse with the help of Mike. Norman is desperate to be the first one into the treehouse, leading to him being careless with the treehouse's supports and getting everyone stuck in it. Station Officer Steele is taking dance classes so he can attend the Firefighter Gala.
Meanwhile, Norman finds himself dangling dangerously from a bridge while trying to set a world record. It is a hot day in Pontypandy, and Joe invents many solar-powered gadgets, including a ridiculous-looking hat with a fan on it, which embarrasses Hannah.
It proves to be useful when Hannah accidentally leaves a bottle in the sun, which catches fire, trapping everyone on the cliff. Moose and the children go fossil-hunting on Pontypandy Mountain, but disaster strikes when Moose falls down a ravine and gets stuck between two boulders. Meanwhile, Elvis jumps to the false conclusion that he and Penny will lose their jobs after overhearing Station Officer Steele making "cuts" - when he was actually talking about a photograph.
Sam and Ben work together to fix a special camera onto the shell of a beautiful blue leatherback sea turtle, so that they can see underwater from its point of view. The camera comes in handy when Norman and Mandy, who are out turtle-spotting alone in a boat, get in trouble at sea. However, Sarah and Lily get separated from the group and find themselves trapped on a cliff with a lamb. Norman and James get lost in the fog on Pontypandy Island while looking for buried treasure.
When Sam is cast as the main lead in Mrs. Chen's play, Elvis decides to give him some tips on acting. Hannah and Norman are given the task of designing the set, but their disagreements over how to decorate the pirate ship prop lead to them floating out to sea on the prop. Pontypandy is holding a contest for its Most Talented Pet. Mandy and Sarah engage in a rivalry over whether Nipper or Lion will win. It is up to Radar to rescue them. The children are playing hide and seek, and Norman hides in a log, but ends up tumbling down the hill in it and hits Trevor's grill, starting a forest fire by accident.
Meanwhile, Elvis and Mike try to fit in the new pole after Penny accidentally damages it, but Sam has a better idea. But when the bus skids off the icy road, Mandy still wants to keep going and ends up dangling from a tree over a ravine. As a surprise for her mother, Mandy creates the "Garden Force," a team dedicated to renovating the Floods' front garden and making it the best garden in Pontypandy. Disaster strikes when they have an accident with the lawn mower and some fertiliser, which starts a fire.
It is a snowy day in Pontypandy when Moose announces he is opening his "Winter Wonderland. They see a frozen lake nearby and skate on it, but the ice begins to break, leaving the twins stranded on it.
