Mission Beach reef add-on
Soon-to-be-scuttled sailboat takes names of cancer survivors
32nd Street Marina
On October 18, dozens of breast-cancer survivors signed a pink sailboat that will become part of the artificial reef off Mission Beach later this year.
The event, held at the 32nd Street Marina in National City drew survivors, their families, and caregivers. Jeri Lambert, who moved to San Diego from Oregon, signed not just her name but her son's.
Gypsea Lee is prepped for one more voyage
"My son is 40 and he has kidney cancer," she said. "Me, I've been told I'm stage four but I learned to just ignore them and keep living." But, she said, she did go on a “last hurrah” vacation just in case.
"We all die of something," she said. "I'm going to focus on living."
The 47-foot scrapped sailboat (formerly known as the Gypsea Lee) is going to be sunk next to the Yukon, a decommissioned Canadian destroyer scuttled in 2000, according to Wayne Kotow from the Coastal Conservation Association of California. The group is working with Ships to Reefs International on the San Diego project.
An ecological assessment by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography five years after the Yukon was sunk concluded it had become a healthy host to a number of fish species.
"The Yukon provides habitat for fish that appears to be a combination of submarine canyon rim habitat and deeper high-relief kelp forest habitat," the report says.
For divers, it's been a mixed blessing. Five have died on Yukon dives.
It's estimated that the Yukon brings in $46 million of economic impact to the area by attracting divers from all over the world.
