BEST TRANSIENT MARINA:SAYBROOK POINT MARINA INN & SPALocated at the mouth of the Connecticut River inhistoric Old Saybrook, Connecticut.

Cape Charles Yacht Center, a new

mega-yacht facility, is being built at

the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay

in Cape Charles, Va. and features an

18-foot-deep channel for easy access

to the Atlantic Ocean. The facility is

a perfect midway point between

Florida and New England and will have a

full-service boatyard. Amenities include

a 75-ton lift, 1,000 feet of face dockage

and ample electricity up to 480 amps.

Stella Maris Village is a new development

located on Long Island in the Bahamas.

The village is a family-run boutique hotel

resort. The marina and international airport

are only a few minutes' drive from the

village filled with a mix of bars and restau-

rants. The area provides guests with an

array of activities including kayaking,

cycling, fishing, and scuba diving, and the

Stella Maris Marina, accommodating vessels

up to 100 feet, is located next door.

Govino was originally created as a trade tool

to help professional salespeople showcase

their wines, but there has been an even

bigger demand for govino in the boating

world. Flexible and incredibly thin, govino is

comprised of a food-safe, BPA-free polymer,

which reflects a wine's color and projects its

aromatics much like fine crystal stemware.

It is shatterproof, reusable and

ultimately recyclable.

Days Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

Bay St. Louis, a 300-year-old town loadedwith charm and a general sense of well-being, is an easy cruise from New Orleans.In 2013, Budget Travel magazine desig-nated it one of the top three “Coolest SmallTowns in America.” Anchored by thecentury-old Hancock County Courthouse,the burg has a vibrant arts colony andplenty of restaurants and shops. Pick up a

walking/biking tour map and follow it toplaces including the 1928 train depot,which houses the Mardi Gras Museumand the Alice Moseley Folk Art andAntiques Museum.

A cannot-miss for music fanatics ishistoric 100 Men Hall (303 Union St.,228-342-5770), a 2011 recipient of a BluesTrail marker from the Mississippi BluesCommission. “The Hall,” a major stop onthe Chitlin’ Circuit of the 1930s through1960s, is once again a live-music venuehosting well-known performers.

Dock your vessel for the night atDiamondhead Marina (228-255-2918,diamondheadms.org), set on the bay.

2Celebrate 300 years of Mardi Gras history while strollingamong the Mardi Gras Museum’s memorabilia, costumesand photographs.

Despite this unique 100-member name, 12 membersoriginally founded the organization in 1894.

Day New Orleans, Louisiana

Words that describe the cuisine of NewOrleans can also be used to define theflavor of the city: The people are a rouxof French, Spanish, African, English andNative American heritage, and theircultures combine to create a rich gumboof experiences to satisfy every taste.

Since it’s impossible to “see” the city ina short time, it’s best to concentrate on ageographic section or a specific interest.History, culture, cuisine, voodoo, churches,cemeteries, Civil War sites, ghosts,vampires, music, art, plantations, swamps,and more can be explored via tour bus,bicycle, foot, Segway or paddleboard.To get the lay of the land in a relativelyshort amount of time, take a tour on one ofthe City Sightseeing New Orleans’s open-top double-decker buses. The hop-on,hop-off plan offers maximum flexibility, andstops include the St. Louis Cemetery, MardiGras World, the French Market and theNational World War II Museum (tip: themuseum features a Tom Hanks-producedfilm and has an on-site restaurant thatserves excellent vintage cocktails).

Tie up at Orleans Marina (504-288-2351,marinasinneworleans.com), a quick strollfrom downtown, or save 10 percent on tran-sient dockage as a Marinalife member atSeabrook Marine (504-283-9801, seabrook-marine.com). With all there is to see and doin the city, it might be hard to tear yourselfaway, but weekend adventures await alongthe 62 miles of Mississippi’s Gulf Coast tothe northeast. Rich in charm and personal-ity — as well as a fascinating history that includes French and Spanish settlements,the Civil War, oil exploration and severaldevastating hurricanes — the region’s peopleand environment possess a spirit of survivalthat cannot be eroded.

Days Gulfport, Mississippi

Next stop is Gulfport, which has six timesthe population of leisurely Bay St. Louis.Like many gulf cities, Gulfport was nearlydestroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005but is steadily being rebuilt and restored.

The very highly rated children’smuseum, Lynn Meadows Discovery Center

(246 Dolan Ave., 228-897-6039), occupiesa renovated 1915 elementary school. Kidsof all ages enjoy the diverse interactiveexhibits on the six-acre grounds. Lovers ofclassic vehicles should drop by the BustedWrench Garage Museum (2311 29th St.,228-617-6660), where vintage cars, motor-cycles, boats, posters and other memora-bilia fill a 6,000-square-foot space.

One of the top local restaurants is theFlyin’ Jalapeno (1101 Broad Ave.,228-222-3216), where the crowds devour

fresh, flavorful burritos, nachos and salads. Gulfport marks the beginning of Gulf

Islands National Seashore, which stretches160 miles to Fort Walton Beach, Fla.Most of the nearly 140,000 acres ofpark are under water. There are fivewildlife-packed barrier islands that definethe Mississippi portion, and many spots onthem are accessible to boaters. Tie up atGulfport Yacht Club (228-863-6796,gulfportyachtclub.org) for a relaxing stay.

Days Biloxi, Mississippi

There are great stretches of open landbetween Gulfport and Biloxi. Beaches arethe main natural attraction here, whilecasinos top the list of man-made attrac-tions. Biloxi has long been the place toparty and play along the coast. The areahas been hit by two major hurricanes —Camille in 1969 and Katrina in 2005 —and both times the casino industry hasplayed a major role in the city’s return toglitz and glamour after the storms. Gaminghouses range from backwater barges todeluxe resort-entertainment complexes.Nine major casinos lure excitement seekersto their shows, dining venues and thechance to “beat the house” at thetables or slots.

The Casino Hopper trolley doesn’t justrun between the beaches and the blackjackgames. Ride it to many of the city’s attrac-tions, including the stunning Ohr-O’KeefeMuseum (386 Beach Blvd., 228-374-5547),which has excellent art exhibitions andFrank Gehry-designed buildings. Othersites worth checking out include the 1848Biloxi Lighthouse (corner of U.S. 90 andPorter Ave.) and the Maritime & SeafoodMuseum (115 1st St., 228-435-6320),which preserves the heritage of two of thearea’s most important commercial pursuits.

For a fun island ambiance, drop byShaggy's Bar & Grill (1763 Beach Blvd.,228-432-5005) — the fresh seafood, coldmargaritas and matchless water views makeit a favorite destination for locals and vaca-tioners. The cuisine and atmosphere atMary Mahoney’s Old French House (110Rue Magnolia, 228-374-0163) are beyondlegendary. Great care was taken to preservemuch of the building’s original characterwhen the home, dating back to 1737,

was turned into a restaurant in 1962.The elegant New Orleans-style courtyard,shaded by a centuries-old live oak, isa knockout.

Dock your boat in the middle of town atBiloxi Small Craft Harbor (228-436-4062,biloxi.ms.us) or Biloxi Boardwalk Marina(228-432-2628, biloxiboardwalkmarina.com),which has an on-site waterfront restaurantcalled the Hook Up. To be within walkingdistance of some of the casinos, head in-stead to the Maritime & Seafood IndustryMuseum’s Schooner pier, which has 22 slipsand 200 feet of floating dockage. Win orlose, you’ll be just a short jaunt fromyour vessel. ml

The state’s first casinos opened in 1992.Now, there are nine first-class casino resorts in Biloxi.

Along with casinos and golf, the beaches in Biloxi are one of the city'sbiggest draws with their soft, white sands and ideal swimming conditions.

CRUISING WITH > JOHN AND PAULETTE LEE

Be CarefulWhat You Wish For

To live aboard, or not to live aboard? That was thequestion for John and Paulette Lee as they stood onlya handshake away from trading their 42-foot Nordic-Tug for their dream boat, a 58-foot Kadey Krogen. Itall started when their Nordic Tug was due for its

annual service work at Deltaville Marina in Virginia. While headingsouth on the Chesapeake Bay from Baltimore, the weather hadturned, bringing howling winds and churning seas. Rather thancontinuing on, John and Paulette opted to dock for the night atCalvert Marina in Solomons, Maryland. The next morning theywoke to what seemed like an abandoned marina with no boats insight and rinsed off the residue from the night before. Dennis Foxfrom Bellingham, Wash., came walking down the docks and started a

conversation with the couple about his interest in Nordic Tugs(which are built in Anacortes, Wash.). Conversation flowed for overan hour before they thought to ask Dennis what he was doing at themarina. Dennis and his wife Julie had brought their 58 KadeyKrogan, Sea Fox, to Washburns Boatyard, just around the corner.“Well, my boat’s for sale” explained Dennis. The next two days werespent entertaining the idea of trading their vessels, but John andPaulette had no intention of wasting anyone’s time — this trade wastoo good to be true. On the third day, Dennis presented John andPaulette a trade offer that was shockingly too good to be true.With a handshake, the deal was done. John and Paulette were nowowners of their dream boat, their Kadey Krogen 58 they wouldname Seamantha.The rest is history.

Marinalife spoke with John and Paulette to get their perspective ofliving on board.

ML: What makes the Kadey Krogen 58 model your “dream boat”?P: Perhaps it was the homey feel when you walk on to any modelor the reputation for a functional design and fine construction.All I can say is that from the first time I walked on to aKadey Krogen 58 several years back, I knew this would be the one.J: Once we saw the Kadey Krogen model at a variety of boat showsand Trawler Fest’s, the decision was easy. The abundance of storage,styling and the interior layout of each model brings a low-key feelwhen you walk on board.

ML: What have been your favorite marina/anchorage stopswhile cruising? P: There are many smaller marinas that may not have the services orconvenience of others but are “special spots” because of where theyare located (refer to Paulette’s “Special Spots”).J: I love experiencing different cultures and exploring thetremendous amount of history you would never have flying ordriving. I enjoy walking around the town of Montreal as well asthe remoteness of the Exumas, where you can snorkel, swim,and discover islands.

ML: How do you provision your boat?P: Believe it or not, we order a great deal from Amazon.com.You learn how long a roll of toilet paper will last, how longbroccoli will keep before it must be cooked and how far acase of wine can get you. J: We like to have fresh produce stocked up for 1 to 2 weeks.Going down the ICW we could tell you where the high qualitystores and farmers markets are all the way to Stuart, Florida.

ML: How do you maintain relationships with family/friendsalong the way?

P: After meeting new friends at marinas, we hated the idea ofdeparting, thinking we’ll never see them again. We kept running intoa lot of the same people, and true to their word — they kept intouch! People just being people, welcoming, helpful and sincere. J: We actually see many of them more now than before. As we travelup and down the coast we often pass within driving distance of theirhomes. Some even enjoy cruising with us. ml

Paulette’s “Special Spots”Longboat Key Club Moorings, Longboat Key, Fla.A hidden treasure! Once in the marina, you can use allthe resort amenities, including the heated swimming pool,tennis courts, gym and on-site restaurants.

When did you become manager at

Schooner Island Marina? I started work-ing for McKee Yacht Sales at the marinain 2002. Shortly afterward, corporatewanted to change the management stylefor the marina. Having experience as aproject manager for 25 years in thecorporate world made me the perfect fit.

Tell us a wacky boater story.

Our marina is very family oriented, butboaters like to party, and on occasion itcan get out of hand. Once a boater fell into the water duringsome partying on his boat. He denied falling into the water;however, we captured his splash on our security camera.

What celebrity do you think you most look like? I havebeen told that I look like Rick Harrison from “Pawn Stars.”

If you could be anyone else, who would it be? Bill Boyce,the host of IGFA Saltwater Adventures, because I love tofish. He has fished all over the world and gets paid fordoing what he loves.

Where is your next vacation going to be? Every year inJanuary I take my wife on a Caribbean cruise. It’s my wayof saying thank you for putting up with my long hours at themarina during the season. We relax and enjoy being togetherwith no interruptions.

Where do you get your best ideas — at your desk or in the

car? Definitely in my car. I have time to myself to thinkthings through with little distractions.

Who in the marine industry has had the greatest impact

on your life? Ed Gunning. He recommended me and wasresponsible for my initial hiring at McKee Yacht Sales.Also, Frank McKee, the owner of Schooner Island whohas given me this great opportunity.

The city of Stuart, set along Florida’srenowned Treasure Coast and just north ofPalm Beach, is beloved for its historic andpedestrian-friendly downtown. Over theyears, it has evolved from a small, quietfishing village into a bustling boating hub.Even today, many things in the communityrevolve around fishing (local charter captainswill proudly tell you that Stuart is theSailfish Capital of the World), but there arealso enough shops and sights to satisfy thosepeople in your crew who aren’t crazy aboutbaiting hooks and dragging lines.

The St. Lucie River runs through andaround Stuart, and a stroll along the floatingdock known as the Riverwalk is a great wayto connect with the energy of the town.There's a big wood platform at one endwhere concerts are held each Sunday fromNovember through April. Don't miss themany locally owned boutiques, restaurants,galleries and cafes lining quaint MainStreet nearby.

Many visitors to the area can'tresist a trip or two out onto the St. LucieRiver itself. Much of the waterway is blessedwith lush, natural beauty — if you're lucky,you might even see a manatee.

For an even bigger adventure, head tothe St. Lucie Inlet Preserve Park, accessibleonly by boat. Tie up there and mosey alongthe 3/4-mile boardwalk that meanders fromdense mangroves to beach dunes.

There are lots of great places to raft-up,too, including the ever-popular Stuartsandbar in the ICW near Sailfish Point.However, when navigating these waterscaptains should pay close attention, as thereare many tricky shallow areas and shoals.

If you’re game for some more exploring,follow the ICW to Manatee Pocket andthe historic village of Port Salerno. Situatedjust south of the St. Lucie Inlet, ManateePocket is also known as the Crossroads,as this is where the Intracoastal intersectswith the Okeechobee Waterway. It's hometo several marinas and boatyards, and thereare terrific local restaurants, too.

And, of course, then there’s the fishing.The sport is taken very seriously aroundStuart, and a large fleet of charter boatsoffers both inshore and offshore expeditions.Many are docked at Pirate’s Cove Marinaand specialize in sailfish, marlin, kingfish,wahoo and other pelagic species. And even ifyou never really liked fishing, you just mightget hooked in a town like Stuart. ml

OF KINGS,WHALERS& MISSIONARIES

There's a sense of deja vuthe first time stepping ashore in

Lahaina. One may think their GPSmalfunctioned and routed their yacht to theFlorida Keys rather than the Hawaiianisland of Maui. For Front Street in Lahaina,has all the familiar trappings of DuvalStreet in Key West. Restored and faux19th century architecture now housebars, restaurants, art galleries andsouvenir shops chockablock. In season,the population can quadruple due totourists visiting the city. But if one canlook past the hawkers selling snorkelingadventures and surfing lessons, a peekat a fascinating slice of Hawaiianhistory awaits.

WINTER 2014 31

Lahaina is one of the most fascinating historic towns in Hawaii. Lahaina Harbor once provided a safe haven for whaling fleets and sail-powered freighters.

The island of Maui was settled by Poly-nesians from the Marquesas who paddledand sailed their canoes across vast tracts ofthe Pacific Ocean around 400 A.D. Theywere followed by a wave of Tahitian settlersabout 350 years later. The Tahitians laid thefoundations of Hawaiian language, religionand culture. After the island's founding, ahereditary group of chieftains governeddifferent sections of Maui. The chiefdom inWest Maui was called Lele, and ruled fromthe site of present day Lahaina.

Maui was also a demi-god of thePolynesians and a rascal in Hawaiian mythol-ogy. It was Maui who used his great fishhook to pull the Hawaiian Islands up fromthe ocean floor. And it was Maui who snaredthe sun with his ropes to slow it down in itspath to create longer days in the summer forraising crops and drying bark cloth.

Through the 16th century Maui contin-ued to prosper under a strict adherence to afour-tier caste system, a complex land tenuresystem and a society goverened by kapu ortaboos. The first documented European thatthere is documentary evidence of coming toMaui is the English explorer Capt. JamesCook who just sailed by looking for an

anchorage in the autumn of 1778. Eightyears later, French Admiral De Galauplanded just south of where the town of Kiheiis located today.

In 1779, Capt. Cook was on the bigisland of Hawaii where he met with a youngchief with a string of 12 names. Rather thancontinually reciting his litany of names, hewas come to be known as Kamehameha.Kamehameha had a vision, first to unite theclans of the island of Hawaii under one king(himself ) and then to conquer all the Hawai-ian Islands and rule them as his united king-dom. He accomplished the first task in 1791.Maui fell to King Kamehameha four yearslater after an assault by almost 1,000 warcanoes and 10,000 of the king's soldiers.The only island not to succumb to the newking was Kauai. Even so, the Kingdom ofHawaii was declared as complete in 1810,and Kamehameha I ruled as anabsolute monarchy.

After the king died in 1819, his son,Prince Liholiho, was crowned King Kame-hameha II. The following year he moved hiskingdom's capital from the western shore ofthe big island to the western shore of Mauiand the town of Lahaina. Lahaina remained

the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii for25 years. During that time two groupswith very different philosophies becameprominent: whalers and missionaries.

In the early 1790s Yankee whaling fleetfrom New Bedford, Mass., expanded into thePacific Ocean off the coast of Peru in its everincreasing need to meet the demand forsperm oil for lamps and lubrication. As soonas they opened a new fishery, the whalershunted the sperm whales to extinction, andnew hunting grounds needed to be found. In1820, the first New Bedford whaling shiphunted sperm whales on the Japan Ground.It was located halfway between Hawaii andJapan, and the Hawaiian Islands became aperfect waypoint for stocking up on freshlocal produce and water and making shiprepairs and finding new crew. Honolulu andLahaina became the main Pacific ports forthe North Pacific whaling fleet. AlthoughLahaina did not have a well-protected harborlike Honolulu, Lahaina Roads had goodholding and became a busy anchorage.

In 1824, more than 100 whaling shipsanchored off Lahaina, and 30 years later it

rose to 400 ships per year. Lahaina was thenexus of the prosperity of whaling and thethe seat of government of the king. Brothels,taverns and inns sprung up along FrontStreet. The sailors were quite pleased withthat arrangement, but the Christain mission-aries were not.

Just as the whalers came fromNew England, so did the missionaries ofMaui. Presbyterian and Congregationalistmissionaries arrived in Lahaina in the early1820s. These early missionaries frownedupon the practice of sailors taking Hawaiianwomen back to their ships for their pleasure.But the sailors chafed at the interventionof these pious Christians, so the whalersattempted to demolish the house of areverend and even shelled the town with

their cannon in retaliation. Inresponse to the cannon fire, a fortwas built along the waterfront ofLahaina, and the reconstructedruins of its walls are an attractionto this day.

Eventually, the whalers andmissionaries learned to live witheach other. The missionaries wentabout their business of spreadingChristianity and “civilizing” thenative population. That included

inventing a written version of the Hawaiianlanguage, which had been learned by word ofmouth. The oral traditions of the Hawaiianculture could now be put on paper and passedon to future generations. Since much of theHawaiian culture involved a religion of Poly-nesian gods and mythology, it was difficultfor the Protestant faith to take hold. Throughperserverence though, there were 13 churcheson Maui by 1870, and all of them hadHawaiian pastors. The pastors were trainedat Lahainaluna Seminary, founded in 1831,which remains as Lahaina's high school andis known as the oldest high school west ofthe Rockies.

By the 1870s, the whaling industry onMaui was gone. Pertroleum oil had beendiscovered in Pennsylvania and “black gold”

supplanted the use of whale oil. The Confed-erate navy and its raiders destroyed many ofthe Yankee whalers during the Civil War.Sugar cane and pineapples and the plantationsystem used to grow those crops soonprovided enourmous profits to the descen-dants of the original missionaries. Today,whaling in Lahaina is limited to whalewatching during the December-to-May season.

Visitors still continue to come toLahaina by sea. The town has a small, pictur-esque harbor, but the majority of slips areused by commercial boats providing sport-fishing, diving, snorkeling, whale watchingand sailing trips. But the Lahaina Yacht Clubhas saved the day by providing seven freemoorings just outside the harbor entrance.Just pick up a mooring ball, dinghy ashore atthe harbor and walk the few short blocks tothe yacht club for dinner and a few libationswhile watching the sunset. ml

Tucked along the Baja California coastline,approximately 60 nautical miles south ofSan Diego, is the Mexican city of Ensenada,also known as the Cinderella of the Pacific.Ensenada is the only deep-water port inBaja. Couple this with its year-roundMediterranean temperatures and it’s easyto understand how tourism is one of thetown’s main industries. Stroll along the malecón, the waterfront

walkway, to take in the town at a leisurelypace. Vendors sell everything from pottery towoven blankets to leather goods, and livelycantinas and bars line the street. Because ofits dry, sunny climate, the region produces90 percent of Mexico’s wine, and Ensenada isdotted with wine-tasting rooms. Stop in atBodegas de Santo Tomas (santo-tomas.com)to sample Cabernet Sauvignon andtempranillo from one of the oldestvineyards in the country. Swing by Ensenada’s indoor-outdoor

seafood market to pick up just-caught tuna,dorado and more to prepare back on board,and grab a fish taco for the road — it’s an

iconic Baja snack believed to have originatedin Ensenada. Another don’t-miss spot: theRiviera Del Pacifico, a hacienda-style 1920smansion with spectacular gardens, ballroomsand halls. During Prohibition, this formercasino-hotel attracted many wealthy Americans, including Bing Crosby andRita Hayworth.You’ll also want to explore some of what

nature has on offer. If you’re visiting at anypoint from January through March, climbaboard a charter with Sergio’s SportfishingCenter (619-399-7224) to witness part of theannual 10,000-mile gray whale migrationfrom Alaska to Baja. A short cab ride south isLa Bufadora, the blowhole that is the largestmarine geyser in North America, shootingwater 80 feet into the air. Scuba divers shouldventure out to the Arch, an underwater hotspot in front of the blowhole. Anglers candrop anchor near the Punta Banda peninsulato fish for more than 90 species. And if youjust want to laze in the sun? Estero Beach,just south of Ensenada, is the perfectsandy destination for the day. ml

The water spout and loud noise from La Bufadorasometimes repeats every minute depending on thestrength of the waves.

THREE MEN AND APOWER CATI always thought that someday I would retire, buy aboat and travel down the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW)with my wife. Even though I’m not retired yet, I boughta 3470 Glacier Bay Catamaran, Almost There, in September 2013,and the opportunity to take the trip became a reality. I traveledfrom Baltimore to Key Largo, Florida with my two retired friends,John and Denny, both of whom readily volunteered once theyfound out they wouldn’t have to pay for fuel. Instead of writing mystory about the food I ate and things that broke on the boat,I would find more interesting things along the way. 1,350 miles,1,600 gallons of fuel and 80 engine hours later, this is the taleof our journey.

DAY 1:Baltimore, Marylandto St. Michaels, Maryland

There were a few things to organize before we left, such as powercords and hoses, but that was simple compared to figuring out whichswitch did what. We cruised around 15-17 knots, which is a nauticalterm for slow, making our way to St. Michaels Marina located on theMiles River. They have a terrific Maritime Museum, where theyrestore and display a variety of boats used by watermen ofthe Chesapeake.

DAY 2:St. Michaels, Marylandto Portsmouth, Virginia

We re-entered the Chesapeake Bay from the Miles River to aglowing blue sky with John noting that we were, “as lucky as a two-dollar hound dog on Elvis Presley Day.” We did see a slew of fishingboats in the shallows of the Chesapeake, an abandoned ghost shipfully out of the water and a lot of water …

DAY 3:Portsmouth, Virginiato Coinjock, North Carolina

Most of the bridges that we would have to go through, including theGreat Bridge Lock in Chesapeake, Va., are timed perfectly so that youcan go through one and then just miss the next one. It would take allday to go 50-miles! The heat grew, and as we wilted, we decided totest the generator. Good thing we did. The generator was overheatingand had no coolant in it. When it still wouldn’t work after filling it,we had a good drill closing and reopening the boat to try and cool off.Just as we decided to speed up so we could get a breeze, we hit ano-wake zone and finally arrived at Coinjock.

From left: Denny, Richard and John arrive at Key Largo, Fla. aboard Almost There.

Page 39: Marinalife Magazine Winter 2014

WINTER 2014 39

DAY 4:Coinjock, North Carolinato Morehead City, North Carolina

This is one big state. When we awaketomorrow we will still be in North Carolina.Just before entering the Pamlico Sound,which runs just inside Cape Hatteras, wesaw a huge school of bait being chased by a pod of Porpoise.

DAY 5:Morehead City, North Carolinato Southport, North Carolina

Upon arrival into Morehead City, we triedthe generator again. It ran a bit rough butwe thought that it would be OK until wenoticed smoke. Now we have the interest ofeveryone in the marina. It seems that ifthere is a boat with something wrong,everyone shows up to help you. With somehelp we were able to rescue the generator sowe started the next run outside fromBeaufort Inlet to the Frying Pan Shoals, a long shifting area of shoals off the coast of Cape Fear, North Carolina.

DAY 6:Southport, North Carolinato Beaufort, South Carolina

Departing out of Cape Fear Inlet, weprogressed southwest on the ICW, andwe passed Charleston Harbor, where FortSumter was flying the flag at half-staff for9/11. To make up for lost time, we traveledthe 200 miles to Beaufort.

DAY 7:Beaufort, South Carolinato Fernandina Beach, Florida

Departing Beaufort, we were on our waypast Parris Island and into the AtlanticOcean. The seas were flat as we hummedalong for hours. We passed though a RightWhale Conservation zone, where you arenot to approach any of the Right Whaleswithin 500 yards. The reason they werenamed Right Whales was because they werethe “right” ones to kill back in the days ofthe whaling industry. We soon arrived atSt. Mary’s Inlet, and docked inFernandina Beach.

DAY 8:Fernandina Beach, Floridato Ponce Inlet, Florida

We departed from Fernandina Beach anddecided to stay on the ICW. After hours ofno-wake zones, we managed to get to theoutside, where the running was faster. After1,000 miles of traveling on the ocean, wepulled into the Ponce Inlet and docked atthe Inlet Harbor Restaurant & Marina justnorth of New Smyrna Beach. A half-milewalk brought us across the island to thebeach, where we went for our first swim.

DAY 9:Ponce Inlet, Floridato Miami, Florida

Off we went, and every couple of hours wewould check our distance and fuel levels.The flat seas allowed us to choose any inlet,so we refueled in Jupiter, Florida. 200gallons of fuel and a half hour later, wewere back in the ocean. Record time!

DAY 10:Miami, Floridato Key Largo, Florida

On arrival into Government Cut by theport of Miami, I felt as if I had lost steering.We anchored right inside the west side ofStar Island when we noticed the completelybroken steering arm. This coincided with a“catastrophic failure” (the manuals wordsnot ours) of all throttle and controls. Afteran elaborate rigging of lines, we were ableto hold the throttle and steering on bothengines to run at cruising speed. We didn’tslow down or move anything until wewere 100 yards from my home canal inKey Largo.

The only thing I learned from our 10-day voyage was that I was wrong. Not abouthow much fun the trip would be, the friendswho joined me or the boat I bought. I waswrong thinking I wouldn’t write like everyseaman’s eventful journey — about thepeople I met, food we ate and how wemanaged the breakdowns in between. In theend, it’s about similar experiences that helpbind you to the marine community. ml

Beer riots in Baltimore — federal agents attacked withbricks and a jar of mayonnaise … bottles of moon-shine stashed at the bottom of oyster bushels …These are just a few snapshots of the mayhem thatensued on the Chesapeake Bay during Prohibition.

On Jan. 16, 1920, booze was banned in America. Beer, wine,champagne, rum and other distilled spirits became illegal. TheChesapeake Bay, along with the entire United States, checked infor a 13-year stint in rehab..The 18th Amendment allowed a fewexceptions. Places of worship could pour wine for religious cere-monies. You could stomp grapes in the bathtub and make wineat home, as long as you didn’t sell any of it. And if you felt sick,doctors could prescribe alcohol for “medicinal purposes” fromliquor-dispensing pharmacies. This loophole grew so popular thatby March 1920, 70,000 whiskey prescriptions in Maryland andWashington D.C., were filled. Otherwise, happy hour waslegally over. The movement to make America sober was championed by the

Women’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), The Anti-SaloonLeague, Methodist ministers and others who blamed demon rumfor a menagerie of social ills. For centuries, America’s tradition of drinking beer and wine

seemed manageable, but the influx of hard liquor caused a dramaticspike in alcoholism in the 19th century. “Between 1800 and 1830,average annual intake was more than five gallons of hard stuff perAmerican, a drinking level nearly three times that of late20th-century America. Foreigners visiting the United States …noted with disdain that the whole country seemed to be on anational binge,” says Eric Mills in “Chesapeake Rumrunners ofthe Roaring Twenties.”

Catch Me If You CanSome people embraced a respite from rum. Others believed that

the government had no business dictating morality or lifestyles.The Chesapeake Bay’s 11,600 miles of shoreline — with all itsremote coves and inlets — was a perfect setting for a cat-and-mousegame with Prohibition officers. When federal dry agents shut downsaloons, speakeasies popped up all around the Bay. Hundreds of moonshine stills appeared along the Eastern Shore,

Southern Maryland and Virginia’s Tidewater region. White light-ning and other intoxicating liquors were secretly brewed in theChesapeake countryside. Some was kept for local consumption,but thousands of gallons of hooch were transported to thirsty citydwellers. It’s rumored that more than half of the Bay’s populationjoined the moonshine bonanza during Prohibition.The home-grown booze industry paled in comparison to imports

from abroad. Americans never lost their taste for French cham-pagne, British gin, Caribbean rum or Scotch whiskey. Ships fromaround the globe lined up along the Atlantic coastline from Virginiato New England, cautiously floating three miles offshore in interna-tional waters along a stretch called Rum Row. Sea vessels’ bellieswere filled with cases of fine imports, and crews eagerly awaitedsmaller speedboats to transport the liquid gold to shore. When theymade it through the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, rumrunnersdisappeared amid the isolated marshlands and hidden coves tounload their bounty.

Resourceful Chesapeake watermen souped up their engines tooutrace the Coast Guard and rigged boats for carrying contraband.Fishermen hid Mason jars of booze in bushels under mounds ofoysters or built false bottoms in boats to stash cases of hooch.

Say Goodbye to Southern ComfortEven though Prohibition was the law of the land, the country

was deeply divided over alcohol. Teetotalers heralded the NobleExperiment as the nation’s salvation. Others refused to hand overtheir martini shakers. Attitudesvaried from state to state, andthe differences were clearly illus-trated in the Bay’s border statesof Maryland and Virginia.Along with 17 other states,

Virginia went dry in 1916 andoutlawed liquor sales four yearsbefore the rest of the country.Norfolk tried to stay wet, andmany taverns stayed open,because they didn’t feel thefederal enforcement pinch untilthe 18th Amendment wasenacted nationwide. When theclock struck midnight on Jan.19, 1920, Norfolk’s streets wereflooded with WCTU leadersand other anti-alcohol revelerscelebrating their victory.Almost 15,000 jubilant

teetotalers joined a paradespearheaded by a flamboyantEvangelist preacher named Billy Sunday,who had fought against demon rum fordecades. Sunday marched through the townnext to a 20-foot-long black coffin symbol-izing the death of John Barleycorn. Whenthe parade ended at a Methodist church,Sunday worked the crowd into a frenzy byjumping on top of the coffin, singinghymns and delivering a fire-and-brimstonesermon that rocked the rafters.The next day, Virginia gave the official last call for alcohol.

Norfolk’s 115 bars were closed. Saloon signs and billboardspromoting booze were pulled down and destroyed. Virginia would have its share of rumrunners, bootleggers and

speakeasies, but as far as the state was concerned, alcohol in theCommonwealth was dead.

Naughty Bohemians Stand Their GroundMaryland was a horse of a different color. As a young colony,

its leaders tried to curb alcohol consumption, and in 1642 publicdrunkenness was rewarded with a fine of a 100-pound bag oftobacco. Three centuries later, when Congress tried to imposenational anti-alcohol rules, Marylanders replied with a collective“mind your own business.” Maryland was the only state that refused

Page 46: Marinalife Magazine Winter 2014

to ratify Prohibition and allocate funds to enforcethe new laws.

Simply stated: Maryland was defiantly wet.Resistance to Prohibition started at the top inAnnapolis and trickled down to police forcesand average citizens. Alfred Richie, the four-termgovernor from 1920 to 1935, wasn’t much of adrinker, but he believed the federal governmenthad overstepped its bounds and was stompingon his state’s rights. Nationally recognized for hisanti-temperance views, he scoffed at squanderingMaryland’s funds or backing the 18th Amend-ment just because the feds wanted to eliminatebooze. Law enforcement was lackluster at best.Tavern operators greased local policemen’s palmsso they’d turn a blind eye to thrivingbooze businesses.

Baltimore, the wettest of all cities, became ahotbed for importing alcohol. Speakeasies flour-ished in every neighborhood. The Horse YouCame in On Saloon, which is still serving spiritsin Fells Point, boasts that it operated before,during and after Prohibition. “The Horse waslocated next door to an alcohol-dispensing pharmacy back then,” says General Manager,Trent O’Connor. “After people picked up their‘medicinal’ Jack Daniels at the drug store, they’dwalk through a secret door into our speakeasy for

more liquid refreshment.” John Stevens Restaurant, just a few blocks away, has been a favoritewatering hole for sailors and watermen since the early 1800s. It stayed open throughoutProhibition by selling oysters and serving “soft drinks” to parched patrons.

Baltimore citizens were especially prickly toward Prohibition agents and infamous fordisrupting enforcement efforts. A New York Times headline from March 1927 reported“MOB IN BALTIMORE ATTACKS DRY AGENTS: Crowd of 500 Wields Axes onAutos and Hurls Bricks at 16 Federal Men on Raid.” A rowdy South Baltimore crowdswarmed the officers’ cars, but no one was injured or arrested. “Only three agents werestruck — two by stones and one by a jar ofmayonnaise which broke and injured chieflyhis personal appearance."

Happy Days Are Here AgainWhile Baltimore’s resistance to Prohibi-

tion took on a unique flair, the entire countryshared its concerns about this great socialexperiment. Corruption ran rampant acrossthe nation, and a sharp rise in alcoholconsumption indicated that Americantemperance was a flop. The 18th Amend-ment was repealed on Dec. 5, 1933 — justin time for Christmas festivities. Americaresumed its bottoms-up traditions, andChesapeake watermen went back tocarrying crabs and oysters in their boats.ml

During Prohibition, Americans weredivided between dry and wet lifestyles.Scofflaws and other rule breakers inventeddelectable cocktails that are still worthsipping today. Here are three of that era’spopular libations and the story behindtheir creation:

The Gin RickeyGin was among the favoriteintoxicating liquors. The GinRickey was first made inthe 1880s with bourbonat Shoomaker’s Bar inWashington, D.C., and

was named after Democratlobbyist Colonel Joe Rickey.

While F. Scott Fitzgerald was writing“The Great Gatsby,” he found inspirationin this crisp cocktail.

2 oz. dry gin½ fresh lime squeezed and dropped in the glass5 oz. soda water or sparkling mineral water

The SidecarDuring Prohibition, outrageouswas the norm, and normal was soold-fashioned. The Sidecar epito-mizes a grand entrance at agin joint. It’s named after a WWIarmy captain who liked to arrive at hislocal speakeasy in a motorcycle sidecar.Bet he also puffed on a Cuban cigar. Shake this mixture well with cracked iceand strain into a chilled, sugar-rimmedcocktail glass.

3 oz. cognac2 oz. Cointreau, Grand Mariner or otherorange liqueur1 oz. lemon juice

Let’s Party LikeIt’s 1929!

The Bee’s KneesThe Roaring ‘20s gave birth to

a host of phrases that toastedthe wild side of nature. The superlative Bee’s Knees wasreserved for flappers and

dappers who had reached the height ofexcellence — and mixed a little sting withtheir charm. Be sure to shake well with iceand serve in a chilled glass.

MARINA SPOTLIGHT > STOCK ISLAND MARINA VILLAGE

Experience the funky vibe of the Florida Keys while relaxingalong the waterfront at Stock Island Marina Village, anewly developed facility on Stock Island. Located just

a few minutes from downtown Key West, Stock Island is easy toreach but hidden away from all the hustle and bustle of DuvalStreet. The island was named for the livestock-shipping industrythat thrived there during the 1800s. Today, the area is known for itscommercial fishing industry, especially as it relates to Key Westpink shrimp — shrimp-packing facilities still operate on theisle. Stock Island Marina Village is embracing this richhistory — there is a commercial shrimp boat thatdocks at the property, and there are plans to buildan on-site seafood market — while maintaininga facility that is thoroughly up to date. The 230-slip marina, the largest deep-water

marina in the Keys, can accommodate vessels upto 300 feet and welcomes both transient and resident boaters. It recently completed the con-struction of 128 Bellingham concrete floating wetslips, a ship’s store and a captain’s lounge with one of thebest views around, a 430-foot floating fuel dock with five high-speed dispensers, a bathhouse and laundry, a tiki bar built bymembers of the Seminole Nation, a food-and-beverage operationthat serves locally caught seafood, a dog park, and a communitygarden lush with mango, cashew and Key lime trees. As if thatweren’t enough, there’s also a new fitness center, gallery spacewhere some of Key West’s top artists show their work, and on-site

fishing, diving, snorkeling and sailing charters are available. The facility’s community is a lively, eclectic mix of boaters, fishermen, artists and craftspeople, and the marina offers courtesyshuttle service to downtown Key West and the airport.Stock Island Marina Village’s mission is to build and maintain

a property that is not just “green” but sustainable. Its greeninitiative includes using solar power — it generates 18kw from the solar panels on the roof, providing energy for the entire marinacomplex — and using LED lighting to get rid of light pollution

and save energy. The hot water for your shower and laundryis heated by solar rooftop hot water heaters. The marinacollects rain water off its roofs to water the plants inthe community garden, has installed pump-outs ateach dock and follows top-notch recycling practices(for instance, there are no plastic bags sold at theship’s store). The facility is landscaped with nativeplants to support migratory birds, such as goldenwarblers, peregrine falcons, and guinea fowl. “he marina was developed to preserve the nautical

elements of Key West, while including all the modern amenitiesof a first-class marina, and built for long — term sustainability ,”says developer Matthew Strunk. If you’re traveling to Key West torelax and enjoy the many things the area has to offer, you can’t finda better piece of paradise than Stock Island Marina Village. ml

ISLAND HOPPING ALONGTHE FLORIDA KEYS

BY CAPT. J EFF WERNER

The Florida Keys are aptly named, because they do offer the “keys” to a boating paradiseunmatched anywhere in our lower 48 states. If you mention those two magic words — theKeys — to any boater in Florida, immediately what springs to mind are visions of sparklingclear waters, snorkeling, scuba diving, tickling for lobsters, deep-sea fishing, back-bay flatsfishing, and simply relaxing and letting go.

A coral rock archipelago and accompanying barrier reef that stretch 200 nautical milesfrom Key Biscayne to the Dry Tortugas comprise this national marine sanctuary. Andfortunately for boaters, the Keys are easy to transit in all weather, day or night, because thenaturally formed Hawk Channel is well marked for buoy hopping and offers comfortablepassage when the seas are raging outside the reef in the Gulf Stream.

We’ll begin our cruise from the Miami area and head south, keeping theprevailing easterly winds first on our beam

and then on our stern as the Keysturn westward.

LEG 1Key Largo

Key Largo offers a relaxed atmosphereduring the winter boating season — and,obviously, shares a name with a classic1948 Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacallmovie. Strangely enough, there is anotherHumphrey Bogart connection to KeyLargo: The original African Queen, thesteam-powered star of the Bogart andHepburn movie of that same name, hasbeen restored to its original Hollywoodsplendor and now gives tours around KeyLargo. She departs five times daily fromMarina Del Mar located at Mile Marker100 along Highway 1. (By land, locationsin the Keys are noted by their mileage fromKey West, which is Mile Marker/MM 0).You can pretend to be Mr. Allnut whilecruising the Key’s canals. But the real star of Key Largo is John

Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. Theupland park on Largo Sound offers kayak-ing and canoeing through mangroveswamps and tropical hammocks, and snor-keling and diving at its marine park out on

the reef. Pick up a mooring ball at MolassesReef or the perennial favorite Dry RocksReef and put on your mask, snorkel andfins. Dry Rocks is home to the foot bronzeChrist of the Deep statue, which sitsbelow the surface.Dock your boat overnight at the Ocean

Reef Club and experience the megayachtlifestyle. The marina offers just about everyamenity you can imagine: golf course, spa,tennis courts, watersports, and even a cook-ing school for kids.

LEG 2Islamorada

Quick: What does Islamorada mean inSpanish? Time’s up! “Purple island” is theanswer. Why the early Spanish explorersnamed this cayo purple has been lost tohistory. Today, Islamorada is also known asthe Village of Islands and actually encom-passes five isles, from Plantation Key in thenorth to Lower Matecumbe Key in thesouth. Islamorada is also the SportfishingCapital of the World and was made

famous by President George H.W. Bush,then a frequent visitor and avid fisherman.Whether your angling leans toward bone-fish, tarpon or sailfish, you can have it allhere. However, if your interest in sea life ismore up close and personal, visit Theater ofthe Sea to swim and interact with dolphins,sea lions, sharks and stingrays.As you head down Hawk Channel look-

ing for a marina to berth your yacht, you'llpass Hens & Chickens, a well-markedgroup of shoals off Plantation Key. Turn upSnake Creek to the Florida Bay side of theKeys to find Plantation Yacht Harbor atMM 87. The marina is well protected fromthe weather and located within a municipalpark that has a swimming pool and tenniscourts. It is an excellent base from whichto start your exploration of the local restau-rants and galleries. On the ocean side, thePostcard Inn Beach Resort & Marina(formerly Holiday Isle at MM 84) has beenundergoing extensive renovations andimprovements. The marina offers dockagefor vessels up to 100 feet, and, thankfully,you can still enjoy a cocktail at the much-loved Holiday Isle tiki bar.

Holiday Isle Resort Tiki Bar, located at the Postcard InnBeach Resort & Marina, is famous for its rum runnercocktail (a crowd-pleasing concoction since 1972) andhas live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights.

LEG 3Duck Key

Next stop is Duck Key — or, more specifi-cally these days, Hawks Cay Resort &Marina at Duck Key. The entrance chan-nel is not for the faint-of-heart marinerwhen the wind and seas are up and theyhappen to be on your stern.

Hawks Cay is a family-friendly resortwith lots of activities geared toward kidsand teens. There are five swimming pools,plus outings such as nature hikes and scav-enger hunts to keep everyone from gettingbored. Swim with Atlantic bottlenosedolphins at the resort’s Dolphin Connec-tion center, or while the kids are beingkept busy, relax at the Calm Waters spawith a signature Key lime-mojito bodytreatment. For a real mojito that goes

down the hatch, have the bartender aton-property Alma's muddle one for you atthe end of the day.

LEG 4Marathon

Access to a large West Marinestore, two supermarkets and even a HomeDepot make Marathon a great stopover forrepairs and reprovisioning.

LEG 5Little Palm Island

Did you ever see the movie “PT109,” theheroic biopic about a young John F.Kennedy? That was filmed on what is nowLittle Palm Island Resort & Spa. Still

shown on nautical charts as Munson Island,Little Palm Island is located at the entranceto Newfound Harbor off Little Torch Key. The island is home to the most unique

and romantic resort in the Keys, with 15thatched-roof bungalows that are all luxuri-ously decorated. There is plenty of dockagefor yachts both large and small, but makeyou reservations early if you plan to bethere on a Sunday — brunch is a true culi-nary experience. And if you have dinner onthe beach at sunset, don't be surprised if atiny Key deer nuzzles up to you atyour table.

D R Y T O R T U G A S

The Keys don’t end at Key West; they extend another 68 nautical miles westward, past Marquesas Keys to the Dry Tortugas.Loggerhead Key is the last key in the chain and is marked by Dry Tortugas Lighthouse, built in 1858 and almost 160 feet tall.Ever since then, it has guided ships to safe passage between the Straits of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. But the main attraction of the Dry Tortugas is on the next-to-last key, Garden Key, which is about three nautical mileseast of the lighthouse. That is home to Fort Jefferson and the Dry Tortugas National Park. Fort Jefferson is the largest masonrystructure in the Western Hemisphere, built with more than 16 million bricks. Construction of Fort Jefferson began in 1846,and in those days, smooth-bore cannon could not easily damage a brick fort with thick walls. By the time of the Civil War lessthan 20 years later, rifled cannon had been developed, and they hurled projectiles that could easily destroy a brick fort.Fort Jefferson was rendered obsolete.Dr. Samuel Mudd, who wasconvicted in the conspiracy to assassi-nate President Lincoln, lived there asa prisoner before he was pardoned. In order to visit Fort Jeffersonon your boat, you must obtain a freepermit from the National ParkService. There are six free mooringballs for recreational boats availableon a first-come, first-served basis inGarden Key Harbor. These are fordaytime use only. If you plan to stayovernight, you are only allowed toanchor no more than a mile from thefort on the sandy bottom of GardenKey Harbor. There are no facilitiesfor water, fuel or provisioning, soyou must be self-sufficient. However,spending a day walking around the oldfort and learning about its history andconstruction is an unparalleled experi-ence that is well worth the time andeffort to cruise there. Fort Jefferson began Construction in 1846 and the fort remains the largest masonry structure in the

Americas. Dry Tortugas National Park is now a National Park accessible by ferry or seaplane.

Little Palm Island Resort & Spa, accessible only byboat or seaplane, offers visitors the chance toindulge and enjoy the spa, fine dining and justrelax on the beach.

7 THINGS EVERY GREAT LOOPER SHOULD KNOWBY BOB DUTHIE

Ever dreamed about cruising the 6,000 miles of Amer-ica’s Great Loop in your own boat. Sure you have. It’sone of the greatest boating adventures in the world,circumnavigating eastern North America by water.

Short of hitching a covered wagon to a team of horses andhitting the trail, there’s no better way to see the country theway early explorers of this continent saw it. But that doesn’tmake it easy or altogether without risk. Speaking from personal experience, here are seven things that everyGreat Looper should know before setting out ...

Set a firm date for the start of your trip. Then, tell allof your friends and family this date. It’s too easy tofind some excuse to defer your departure if you don’tdo this. Once you tell everybody, you’re committed.No backing down. Depending on where you live,there’s a relatively narrow window on your departuredate, so be sure to do your homework. If you live inCanada or the northern states, for example, you can’tleave too late in the season or you could face theonset of winter weather.

Have a set of up-to-date paper charts. You can’t justrely on electronic charts or your smartphone. Anddon’t use electronic charts that download over theInternet while you’re under way. Electronic chartsshould be stored locally in the device. You just can’tchance your safety on cell phone or WiFi servicewhen you’re potentially miles and miles away fromthe nearest city or marina.

Get towing insurance. You’re bound to run agroundsomewhere. Towing insurance is very economical,and because you’ll be in unfamiliar water most ofthe time, the probability of running aground will bemuch higher than in your home waters. The otherreason for towing insurance is your engine. You couldrun out of gas, or your engines could quit for mysteri-ous reason. Towing services are available anywhereon the Loop and even in Canada. In the remote areas,like certain stretches of the Mississippi River, theircaptains will drive a rescue boat to a launch rampand then come out to get you. Be sure you have ananchor and lots of rope, so you can anchorwhile waiting.

Take a shakedown cruise. Don’t leave on the boat youjust prepped and/or purchased without getting toknow it inside out. This was our first mistake on theLoop. We took possession of our boat, a 1981 GrandBanks trawler at Erie, Pa. A few hours out of Erieheaded for Detroit, the wind kicked up 4-to 6-foot waves, and the single engine quit due toplugged fuel filters. It was too rough to change thefilters, and we had to call the Coast Guard becauseno tow operators were open that early in the year.Not a great way to start the trip.

Leave the firearms at home. There are no pirates inCanada or the U.S., so don’t carry guns unless you’reprepared to stay out of Canada and miss the beautifulcanals and the North Channel. Above all, don’t lie tothe Canadian border officials about a gun on board.We used the government phone at Rockport on theSt. Lawrence River to check in and were given anumber we displayed on our window. Subsequently,we were searched twice at Kingston and Little Current.If a gun is found, your boat will be seized on the spotand your trip ended. Flare guns are legal in Canadaand can do as much to repel an intruder.

Learn how to blog before you leave. This is the bestway to keep in touch with friends and family — thepostcard is long gone — and it also provides a wayto download your thoughts and de-stress duringyour journey. Blog sites like WordPress are user-friendly, free and let you add photos and maps.Best of all, people can register to be notified when-ever you make a new post and can respond righton the same Web page.

Take your time on the Loop. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. We did it in four legs over twoyears — six months per leg. In hindsight, that was toofast. I’d like to do it again, but my First Mate wouldrather go in our 23-foot motorhome. We compromiseby visiting the places we enjoyed on the Loop andstaying in the driveways of the friends we madewhile we were completing our circuit. ml

Just 15 miles north of West Palm Beach, Fla., is Jupiter Island,one of the easternmost points on the Atlantic seaboard. Jupiterhas been an important and popular landmark for cargo ships

and pleasure boats for centuries, and it is known for its tropicalbeauty, elegance and charm.

The Bluffs Marina is conveniently located three milesSouth of the Jupiter Inlet on the east side of the ICW,with direct ocean access via both the Jupiter andLake Worth inlets. The 10-acre yacht basinfeatures 97 deep-water slips, can accommodatevessels up to 130 feet and is classified as ahurricane-safe harbor.

Dockominiums first rose to prominence in the1980s, when slips were in high demand and scarce.The idea of owning your own piece of the waterperfectly coincided with the needs of the time, and docko-miniums became an appealing investment for many boaters: Theycould purchase dock space or a slip, complete with deed and title,and then rent or lease it out through the marina when they them-selves weren’t using it. Thus, they’d always be guaranteed dockagewhen they wanted it but could earn money on the space when they didn’t need it.

At the Bluffs Marina, dockominiums have remained highlysought after. “We have had many slip sales in recent years,” saysMark May, owner of CCB Investors Assets Management, a hold-ing company that controls the remaining slip portfolio. “In fact,”he continues, “we have sold more slips in 2012-2013 than all other

Palm Beach-area marinas combined.” At the Bluffs, slipowners rent and lease their property with the help ofthe association’s dock master.

The marina’s amenities include dockside fueland cable and telephone services. It is minutes bycar from Palm Beach International Airport,

minutes by foot to gorgeous beaches and onlyabout a mile to the Riverwalk, Jupiter’s new

network of scenic waterfront walking and bikingtrails. Excellent restaurants, dozens of shops and world-

class golf and tennis facilities are also nearby. The Bluffs Marina continues to grow — a pool, private

bath/shower area and additional parking are anticipated. “TheBluffs has been Jupiter’s best kept secret,” says May, “but the wordis getting out. We have already sold many of our larger slips. Peopleshould come buy their own slice of the waterfront before it’sall gone!” ml

This quiet, NewEngland-y coastal villageis known as the Sailing Capital of NorthCarolina for good reason — there aremore than twice as many registered boatsas permanent residents here, and at onetime its town fathers were “pretty sure” itboasted more circumnavigators per capitathan anyplace else in the world. Oriental sits along the Intracoastal

Waterway at the convergence of five navi-gable creeks and the beautiful Neuse River,not far from Pamlico Sound, whichstretches 30 nautical miles to the famedOuter Banks and the Atlantic Oceanbeyond. As a result, you can cruise, fish,paddle and play to your heart’s content.But this is also a great place to simply

kick back and relax. The “downtown” area ishome to several marinas and commercialfishing outfits, plus a number of pubs andrestaurants, where you can watch the boatscome and go. Oriental has also developed

into a thriving arts colony with a plentifulpalette of galleries and boutiques and awarm, welcoming atmosphere. River Dunes (252-249-4908,

riverdunes.com), a community just north ofOriental, offers new homes and a world-

class resort harbor with every conveniencefor year-round living and boating.Its marina features 400 slips, state-of-

the-art floating docks, a 500-foot fuel dockwith high-speed diesel, a pool, a fitnesscenter, dining and more.

For what seems like eons, a racy afternoonin the Low Country has consisted of hang-ing a line off the end of a dock and seeingwhat happens. Not much has changed, andwhile golf has joined the roster as a popularpastime, the communities of Beaufort andPort Royal remain as grounded as they werehundreds of years ago.

Southern hospitality flourishes here —Coastal Living magazine named BeaufortAmerica’s Happiest Seaside Town — asdoes a culture steeped in myriad customsand proclivities. You can’t walk (or bike) toofar without running into an oldmansion or monument or a new art galleryor curio store. Surrounding it all are

vibrant marshes nestled beneath the moss-draped limbs of massive live oaks.Life in Beaufort and Port Royal

is defined by water with a respectable fishing fleet serving the many homegrownrestaurants. Kayaking, sailing, anglingand beachcombing are ample, as are festi-vals dedicated to the Low Country andits wonderful diversity. On the ICW, the Downtown Marina

of Beaufort (843-524-4422,downtownmarinabeaufort.com) lies withinwalking distance of numerous eateries, bedand breakfasts, historic homes and parks.Port Royal Landing Marina(843-525-6664, portroyallandingmarina.com)also on the ICW to the south, can beaccessed from the ocean through bothPort Royal and St. Helena sound. Itfeatures an on-site restaurant, boaters’lounge, and multiple patios for baskingin the cool breezes.

People don’t come to Punta Gorda for thebeaches, because there aren’t any. They comefor the Old Florida ambiance — the bricklanes lined with palm trees, the tin-roofhomes, the quaint fishing shacks and thevibrant murals painted on thebuildings downtown.Local preservationists have tried hard to

keep the nostalgic feel alive, and it’s worked,but that doesn’t mean the city is trapped inslow motion. Rather, it’s a haven for outdoorenthusiasts, with a scenic pedestrian prome-

nade (Harborwalk), the state’s second largestharbor (Charlotte Harbor) and a collectionof nearby islands for boating escapades (theGulf Islands). Happily, Punta Gorda’s newer develop-

ments are doing their part not to upset thedock cart. Fishermen’s Village, a touristattraction that features specialty shops andseven restaurants, is built in the style of asalty seaside port. It also houses furnishedluxury villas, and its marina has 111 slipsand free daytime docking for visiting vessels.

Burnt Store Village is a 600-acre gatedcommunity located minutes from its name-sake marina, which has on-site resort andgolfing facilities. Burnt Store Marina(941-637-0083, burntstoremarina.com)is located on Charlotte Harbor, named oneof Sail magazine’s Top 10 Places to Sail. With all this to offer, it's no wonder

CAPTAIN’S TIPS >

HOW TOHANDLE

YOURVESSEL’S

REFITB Y J UA N WAT S O N

Many owners out there have either been downthis road before or are about to head that wayat some stage … the dreaded refit! It isabsolutely understandable why there might be

some trepidation. The following hypothetical situationwill provide you with some perspective and useful tipswhen refitting your vessel.

SCENARIOMr. Jones purchased a 50-foot motor yacht. The vesselpassed survey well and the owner got the boat for agreat price since the vessel required a paint job.He decided a bow thruster might be wise becauseof the new paint job. So now we begin.

DO YOUR HOMEWORKDetermine your projects, whether it be new paint or a bowthruster. I recommend doing some basic reading on eachof these so you have some understanding of what isinvolved. Next is the important task of selecting the yard.Below are some important factors to consider:

What type of reputation does the yard have? Are theyexpensive, difficult to deal with and/or true professionals?Try to get feedback about a yard from several people if possible.

Meet the prospective project manager and understandthe importance of having an honest discussion aboutyour concerns.

Page 71: Marinalife Magazine Winter 2014

Does the project manager have the right personnel and equipment

for the project(s)? Do they have painters trained to apply the specificpaint application you have chosen? Have they done any recent bowthruster installments, and can they provide testimonials for youto review?

Is the yard close by so you can make regular visits to monitor

progress? I do not suggest being there every day. If you provide theyard with the occasional feedback they need, they will know if theyare doing the job right for you.

Mr. Jones has done the preliminary vetting and has a particular yardin mind, A Boat Works. This is where we nail down the project de-tails and refit agreements. Agreements should generally cover:

� Proposed timeline for the overall refit, detailing the responsibilities of the yard. If deadlines are not met, the timeline could involve daily or weekly penalties, covering the layup charges if applicable or nothing at all. One might consider a clause that allows for the date to be adjusted, provided it is agreed and signed by both parties.� A detailed scope of the work and cost. It should clearly detail if the install is a fixed price or an estimate. If it is an estimate, the owner might consider putting a “not to exceed” amount clause on estimated amounts. This will allow for the owner to be informed if the project is running into complications and not to leave the yard sitting with the cost. Remember, any custom fabrication cannot be returned so be sure everyone is on the same page.

� Payment of the refit. This could involve payments made at certain milestones during the refit or deposits upfront and the outstanding balance at the end. If you are working on the first option make sure the milestones are clearly defined; this has the benefit of being able to review the billing in smaller chunks and makes expenditure tacking easier. Option two means less checks, but you are left with a yard bill that is two months in the making.� Insurance responsibilities should be clearly defined in the event that there was to be any damage or loss to the vessel for any reason during the refit. Check with your insurance provider to ensure adequate coverage for yard work, as an additional umbrella might be required.

Mr. Jones and the yard have now come to terms and the refit isunder way. Tracking progress is important so listed are a fewrecommendations to help the process:

� Start a binder to organize all the signed agreements, invoices and estimates, etc.� Create a folder in your email account to track and store all refit- related digital documents. Always follow up with an email if you happen to have a conversation in the yard or over the phone.� See if the project manager can provide you with a weekly progress update covering yard hours and purchases. If convenient, meet weekly to go over the progress.� Once projects are under way, take as many photos as you can. They can come in handy, and it is good to print copies and add them to your refit binder.

Refits can be stressful. At the same time, when it goes well it can beparticularly rewarding. In 2011, I was in charge of a refit project ofa 101-Foot motor yacht. The project went on for months andinvolved painting the entire vessel and doing six other large structuraland mechanical projects. The following points are what most res-onated with me on that refit, which was a particularly successful one:

� Vague agreements do not serve any party at the end of the day. Spend the time on the front end, and find terms that work for all involved. � If the work is done right and on time, make sure the yard is paid on time. This is a great way to build a great long-term relationship with the yard, and in my experience they will go the extra mile for you.� It is not always easy, but it is vital that both parties understand what the project entails. The yard must be clear in its abilities, scope and costing. The owner/captain must do his best to express what he/she is looking for. Change orders can be expensive so try and avoid those.� The ultimate goal is to get that new paint job or bow thruster installed right. It takes a true collaborative process to achieve that goal. ml

Stretching from Key Largo to Key West theFlorida Keys span nearly 120 miles alongU.S. Highway 1. Also known as the OverseasHighway and one of the most scenic water-front roadways in the United States, it windsits way through the keys, where often theonly land mass separating the cobalt bluewater of the Atlantic Ocean from the sandand grassy flats of Florida Bay is this famednarrow highway. For the traveling angler theFlorida Keys offer world-class fishing, andwinter is a great time to visit the keys.Though weather plays a critical role in what’sbiting where and when, when one door closeson a particular species because of weather,another often opens wide.

On the offshore scene cold fronts, and thenortherly breeze accompany them, will sendbeach fanatics shopping, though anglerslooking to tangle with sailfish welcome thesecold fronts with open arms. While yourclothes will more likely be fitting for a fallfootball game than a day on the water inFlorida, the excitement of battling atail-walking sailfish will warm you quickly.Typically, from the edge of the reef andbeyond, schools of showering bait signal sail-fish below, and pitching or slow-trolling livebait is the preferred technique.

Don’t overlook the inshore water though,as we’ve caught sailfish in water depths asshallow as 25 feet. In between sailfish biteslook for dolphin (mahi mahi), wahoo, king-fish, blackfin tuna, bonito and Spanish mack-erel to provide action. Thanks to anelimination of commercial long-lining alongtheir breeding grounds, swordfish have madea strong comeback, and the keys offer anexcellent shot year-round at catching one.However, you’ll need to bring your A gameand a strong back, as these denizens arefound in depths approaching 1,000 feet ormore.

reefs offer an excellent shot at tasty yellow-tail and mangrove snappers and provideexcellent sport on light spinning tacklewhile chumming, as schools of hundredsof fish can often be seen right behind theboat, where these fish can literally behand fed. Don’t let the cold of winter put a

damper on your fishing plans. Likewarmth from a cozy fireplace, the FloridaKeys offer a red-hot opportunity to enjoyexceptional fishing, beautiful scenery,excellent restaurants and top-notchmarinas which are sure to make your staya memorable one. ml

THE CURE“It’ll cure what ails you,” Moe, my cab driver,told me as I returned from the market to theboat on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.“You got a backache: Eat a bowl of conchsalad. You got da depression: Eat a bowl ofconch salad. ” His hearty laugh filled the air.“And best part, here on da island, you can go

al’ night with da rum, you eat conch in damornin’ and you good as new.”

It was these last words I remembered thenext day when I found my friend Ian in hiscabin, passed out yet still fully clothed withan overwhelming smell of rum emanating offhim. He’d been at the casino at the Atlantis

resort the night before. “Ian, wake up!”I shook him. He sat up but could barelyfocus. His red, swollen eyes and thedisheveled brown hair that stood up onone side suggested the need for the mightyQueen conch’s magical cure for hangovers.

WINTER 2014 75

I called Moe for help. We stepped off theboat into the bright sunlight of day. The heatslapped Ian, and he recoiled as if he’d beenburned. The walk down the dock may havebeen the longest of my life.

Moe took us over the bridge to Potter’sCay, where multicolored wooden stands linedthe road, and directed us to a whitewashedshack in the middle of the row with threebar stools outside. A hand-painted sign abovethe counter read, Frankie’s. “He’s da best.”Moe whispered in my ear as if he were trad-ing government secrets before wanderingdown the row of conch stands to a dominoesgame being played under the shade of abanyan tree.

Frankie, a jovial Bahamian, as full of lifeas the local music, knew why we were there.He had Ian pegged the minute we sat down.“Whew! Man, you need a Kalik. That’ll feelyou better.” He reached into the cooler.“You were takin’ in the rum last night?Maybe talkin’ to some ladies? Havin’ goodtime.” He gyrated his hips and laughed.Ian groaned. “Yeah, and now I’m herefor the cure.”

“You stand the heat?” Frankie raised hiseyebrows. “The hotter the better,” Ianboasted. “Good, good, you jus’ sit back andlet Frankie take care of you.” He pulled twoconchs out of the ocean behind him, punc-tured the shell on the spiral, inserted hismachete and cut the muscle. With expertprecision, he grabbed the meat from theopen end of the shell and with his longnimble fingers gently pulled. He sang a

Bahamian tune while dicing the meat andpiling it into a heaping mound on the cornerof his board. His knife flew through theonions, celery and tomatoes while he sang,laughed and told us another medicinalproperty of conch salad.

“Around here we use it as Viagra.”He winked at Ian. “One bowl of this and yoube good to go all night. “I can’t even think ofthat now,” Ian moaned while dropping hishead to the white tile counter. Frankielaughed as he squeezed three limes and anorange over the salad and plucked a scotchbonnet off a pile in the corner. “Jus’ half achile for the lady, but for you man, you gottahave two.” There was no room for arguing inhis voice. “We gonna sweat that stuff outtayou.” He seasoned the mix with coarse seasalt and added another squeeze of lime. Heopened another Kalik for Ian and handed ustwo heaping Styrofoam bowls. “This give youa stiff back, my man. You be good just now.”His eyes danced while his hips swung to thetune he hummed. “And tonight, you bereal good.”

We thanked Frankie and moved to a plas-tic round table. A single Kalik beer umbrellasheltered us from the piercing sun. Its inten-sity sent daggers through an already fragileIan and exacerbated the smell of alcoholcoming from his pores. We dove right in.Citrus spiked my tongue. The peppers hitbut did not overwhelm. There was thecrunch of the celery, the softness of thetomatoes and the unmistakable taste of thesea. The ceviche-like salad was sweet and hot

and cooling all at the same time. I lookedover at Ian and began to worry. He had sweatcoming out of his eyeballs and smelled moreand more like last night’s rum. The extrachiles in his seemed to be creating a sweatlodge. He sat hunched over his bowl like hewas at a prison mess table. Every fewminutes he let out a shuddering sigh ofexhaustion. But a miracle was happening.Ten minutes earlier, he looked like death.Now, as he pushed away his empty bowl, lifereturned to his eyes, and a smile settled onhis face. “Let’s grab the tender when we getback and go water skiing.” I laughed andshook my head. With just a belly full ofconch and a few Kaliks under in the hotBahamian sun, he was cured. ml

Mince the scotch bonnet as small as possible. Add a little at a time to the conch and vegetables to establish your heatlimit. Squeeze the citrus over the mix and season with sea salt.
