(1993): “Global Overview” – Chapter 1″ Global Guide to Tropical Cyclone Forecasting, WMO/TC-No. TCP-31, World Meteorological Organization Geneva, Switzerland (1993): “Ready Reckoner” – Chapter 9, Global Guide to Tropical Cyclone Forecasting, WMO/TC-No. Tropical Disturbances -> Tropical Depressions -> Tropical Storms -> Hurricane or Typhoon. Once winds exceed 74 mph (64 knots, 33 meters per second) it will be designated a hurricane (in the Atlantic or East Pacific Oceans) or a typhoon (in the northern West Pacific). When winds exceed that threshold, it becomes a t ropical storm and is given a name. If it has a closed circulation but under 39 mph (34 knots, or 17 meters per second) maximum sustained surface winds, it is called a tropical depression. If it lacks a closed circulation it is called a tropical disturbance. Tropical cyclones derive their energy from vertical temperature differences, are symmetrical, and have a warm core. It’s amazing that just a simple piece of fiberglass could do that.A tropical cyclone is a generic term for a low-pressure system that formed over tropical waters (25°S to 25°N) with thunderstorm activity near the center of its closed, cyclonic winds. “Meeting all of you has been one of the richest things of my life. “It’s been an incredible ride,” Hanssen told the crowd at the boatyard on Monday. The James Robert Hanssen made its last voyage this weekend when it delivered beer to the Race to Alaska Ruckus, a celebration held in Port Townsend on Sunday to mark the end of the SEVENTY48 race from Tacoma and the beginning of the Alaska race, which ends in Ketchikan.

In 2022, the state Legislature dedicated $100,000 to DNR to create the derelict vessel recycling program, and boat owners can turn their boats into the program for free if they meet certain criteria. Wood said before the recycling program, derelict fiberglass or wooden vessels would be taken to landfills, and DNR has removed more than 1,000 vessels from the water in the past 20 years. “So we can prevent abandoned and derelict vessels from impacting the environment and water user safety.” “It’s all part of our prevention,” Wood said. On Monday, Port of Port Townsend staff hired by DNR took powered saws to the boat’s body, cutting it into smaller pieces, preserving for its former rowers some of its more sentimental pieces while dozens of onlookers watched from a safe distance. Large blue roll-off dumpsters sat in the demolition section of the boatyard, and Wood said so long as the pieces could fit in those bins, DTG would take them.Īccording to Wood, other companies required that boats be broken into 1-inch pieces, which he said was wildly impractical. “What we plan on doing in conjunction with the (Washington) Sea Grant, the Northwest Straits Commission and a lot of the port districts,” Wood said, “is to go into an area and open up an event where people can bring their vessels for free disposal and recycling.”ĭNR has contracted with Delta Tango Gamma Recycling of Bothell to take the remnants of the derelict vessels. Monday was the second vessel recycling event DNR has held, said Troy Wood, the derelict vessel removal program manager, but the agency hopes to have others.

“I hated that,” Hanssen said of the idea of his boat ending up in a landfill. Though it broke his heart to see the vessel disassembled, Hanssen said the recycling program was the most responsible way possible to dispose of the boat.
