How safe is the air you breathe at sea? Our readers are serious boaters. But are you as serious about the air quality of your vessel as you are the maintenance? With more than 19 years invested in indoor air quality research and improvement, the Kanberra Group has been working closely with various areas of the marine industry to better understand the needs of boat owners, yacht captains and crews to provide detailed, programmatic solutions to enhance marine experience and vessel maintenance. As folks discovered, Kanberra Gel proves invaluable in eliminating molds, fungi and bacteria during boat storage periods and equally valuable in maintaining a healthy, moldand odor-free environment on board during the boating season.
Not only does Kanberra Gel improve your air quality, but it also helps save you money. Its natural properties protect HVAC components from mildew and mold growth, as well as penetrate porous materials to prevent mold and mildew damage. Everyone who boats knows mold and mildew are a constant headache, due to dampness and temperature fluctuations. Damage to boat interiors and sensitive electronics can cost thousands to repair or replace. Kanberra Gel is the ideal solution! For more information and to see a video on the product,
www.kanberragel.com
Available in convenient 2-, 4- and 8-oz.-sized containers, Kanberra Gel is a semi-solid, non-toxic, biodegradeable gel made with pure pharmaceutical-grade Australian tea tree oil. When exposed to air, the gel dissipates, effectively breaking down airborne mildew, molds, bacteria and viruses. Unlike other products available on the market today, Kanberra neutralizes odors and impurities in the air, making it safer for everyone on board. And because it’s completely non-toxic and chemical free, it’s safe for kids and pets alike. Use it on the boat, at home, in your car – practically anywhere!
Made with Tea Tree Oil
Problem:
Solution: Kanberra Gel All Natural Air Purifier • Protects against mold and mildew damage during storage • Dissipates into air to neutralize airborne odors and impurities – keeps cabin fresh • No chemicals, all natural – safe around kids and pets • Easy to use – no mess, no plugs, no wires, no tearing of bags • 24/7 protection • Also great for home, office, car, gym bag and more

Dear Fellow Boater, Happy Spring! We are excited for the start of the boating season in the Northeast. It has been a busy winter for Marinalife—attending boat shows and the International Marina and Boatyard Conference in Orlando. Marinalife has enjoyed seeing so many of our members at the boat shows and catching up with our partner marinas at the marina conference. The general mood seems mostly upbeat among boaters and marinas. While attending the marina conference, we were encouraged to hear about new projects that are under way—projects ranging from new floating docks to new fuel piers with state-of-the-art fuel dispensers to enhanced amenities for boaters. Also, many marinas are embracing new technology such as wireless remote check-in and fuel dispensing. The use of new technology in the marine industry was a prevalent theme at the marina conference and at the boat shows. Marinalife is excited to announce a new partnership with Navionics to provide our magazine and marina content for its mobile app NewsStand. Marinalife has launched an enhanced Discount Section that makes it even easier for our members to locate discounts by category, city, state or ZIP code. And we are very focused on adding more and better discount options for boaters. Boaters now have access to the new Marinalife Discount Card, an amazing value at only $23.99 per year. The card includes many benefits including access to thousands of discounts and special offers, cruise itineraries and the creation of your own cruise tools, navigation alerts and magazine subscriptions, as well as a complimentary MarineMax Rewards Club card. Marinalife Insurance Services continues to expand with enhanced coverage and free risk-analysis services. All policyholders also receive a complimentary Marinalife membership. If you would like a free risk analysis, contact Peter Teuten from Marinalife (pteuten@marinalife.com). We look forward to a safe and fun boating season. Remember to send us photos and stories of your boating adventures so we can include them in the Marinalife magazine and on our Facebook page.

Exploring the Tenn-Tom ...With Marinalife Members Ken and Myra Crutcher By Lauren Farr
T
he Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway (known as the Tenn-Tom) is a manmade waterway that was built to connect the Tennessee and Tombigbee rivers for commercial traffic. Construction was a massive undertaking that took 12 years to complete and moved more dirt than the Panama Canal project. In addition to its commercial use, the Tenn-Tom has become a joyful destination for boaters. Ken Crutcher
and his wife, “Admiral” Myra, have been cruising the Tenn-Tom on their boat Moon Shine regularly since 1996. It was on one of these trips that Myra took her nickname as Admiral when she teasingly stated to Ken, “If you’re the Captain, I guess that makes me the Admiral!” Titles aside, the Crutchers know their way around the Tenn-Tom. Here are some of their favorite stops along the way.

South Carolina and the CivilWar
By boat, the historical importance of Charleston and Hilton Head come alive By Capt. Jeff Werner
For all the bluster and saber rattling by the secessionists in South Carolina in the run-up to the Civil War, it is surprising that so few battles took place in the Palmetto State. The battles that were fought, however, were concentrated around Charleston and Hilton Head Island, which now happen to be favorite areas for boaters cruising the Intracoastal Waterway and the South Carolina coast. Using the unique perspective of your boat, you can visualize the strategies of the opposing forces as you cruise through history in Charleston Harbor or Port Royal Sound.
Antebellum Charleston was a city of affluence and refinement built on the underpinnings of slavery. After the Revolutionary War, this seaport had the highest per-capita wealth among whites and the largest number of enslaved blacks in the United States. When South Carolina passed a nullification ordinance in 1832, allowing its state rights to trump federal law, the slide into the abyss of war began. After Abraham Lincoln was elected president, South Carolina became the first state to secede from the Union, and that action was pivotal in starting the secession movement. Just six weeks after South Carolina seceded and one month before Lincoln was even inaugurated, the Confederate States of America was born. At 4:30 a.m. on April 12, 1861, the Confederate bombardment of
Fort Sumter, which guarded the entrance to Charleston Harbor, beganâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and with it the Civil War. The next four years would be spent by the Union trying to wrest control of Charleston from the rebels while simultaneously maintaining a blockade of the port city from the sea. In order to improve the resupply and refueling of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron off Charleston, the U.S. Navy chose to establish a base at Port Royal Sound, 50 miles down the coast, to be taken by an amphibious invasion force. The U.S. fleet departed from Hampton Roads, at the south end of Chesapeake Bay, on Oct. 29, 1861. While off Cape Hatteras a few days later, gale force winds scattered the fleet. Some ships were sunk, others washed ashore, and a few returned home for repairs, but

the remaining ships in the fleet managed to straggle to the rendezvous point off Port Royal Sound, and the battle was finally engaged on Nov. 7. Within six hours, the Confederate army abandoned its forts. After their victory, the Union forces occupied Hilton Head and offered shelter to 1,000 slaves seeking refuge from the 20 plantations on the island. A year later, Mitchelville was built as the first freedmen’s village on Hilton Head. The 1989 Academy Awardwinning film Glory depicted the exploits of the 54th Massachussets Volunteer Infantry, the first allAfrican-American regiment in the U.S. Army. Their white leader, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, was offered command of the new unit after recovering from wounds he received at the Battle of Antietam in 1862. In the summer of 1863, the all-black regiment was sent south from Boston as part of the force trying to put an end to Confederate control of Fort Wagner, on Morris Island, which guarded the southern approaches to Charleston Harbor. On the night of July 18, under the battle cry “Forward, FiftyFourth Forward!,” Colonel Shaw led the regimental charge on the fort.
As Shaw mounted the fort’s parapet, he was shot through the heart and died instantly. The 54th continued the assault. Sergeant William Carney seized the Union flag from a downed color bearer and planted it atop the parapet, but after an hour of enduring an intense barrage of grenades, canister shot and small-arms fire, the 54th was forced to retreat. Carney, despite being wounded by bullets, brought the Stars and Stripes back to the Union lines. Of the 600 black men who began the charge, more than 250 became casualties of war. Although the Confederate forces carried the day, the 54th’s valor helped assure their place in history by dismissing any lingering skepticism that free black men would not make good soldiers. Sergeant Carney received the Medal of Honor for his heroism that night. Attention then turned back toward the city of Charleston, considered a legitimate target under the rules of war at the time. Siege artillery began the bombardment of Charleston during August of 1863, continuing on and off for more than a year, leaving much of the city in ruins. By 1864, between the Union bombardments and the shipping

blockade, Charleston was in desperate straits. In an attempt to finally break the blockade, the Confederate Navy launched its secret weapon on the night of Feb. 17. Powered with a handcranked propeller manned by its crew of eight, the 40-foot long submarine H.L. Hunley skimmed silently below the surface of Charleston Harbor and out into the Atlantic. The submarine’s target was the USS Housatonic, a 205-foot-long sloop of war powered by both sail and steam. The

Housatonic was on station about five miles out to sea. Two minutes before the attack, the officer of the deck noticed an object approaching the ship with “the appearance of a plank moving in the water.” Then the Hunley rammed her spar torpedo into the hull of the Housatonic, and the submarine backed away. The torpedo was detonated, and the Housatonic sank within five minutes. The world had just witnessed the first sinking of an enemy warship by a submarine in combat. While this changed the future of naval warfare, it did little to break the blockade. The (continued on page 32)

Confederate submarine failed to return to port and would never be able to harry the Union blockade again. In the 1970s the wreck of the Hunley was discovered, and she was finally raised back to the surface in 2000. Although there was no conclusive evidence found to determine the cause of the sinking of the Hunley, it remains one of the most important American underwater archaeological finds of the 20th century.

After General Sherman captured Savannah on Dec. 21, 1864, at the end of his March to the Sea, he turned his attention north and marched through South Carolina. The Confederacy abandoned Charleston on Feb. 15, 1865, when General Beauregard ordered the evacuation of the remaining troops. Three days later, the mayor of Charleston surrendered to the Union. Eventually the scars healed, the ruins were rebuilt, and the animosities put to rest.

Tobermory, Ontario: A Northern Boater’s Paradise By Bob Arrington
TOBERMORY, ONTARIO is located at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, a narrow finger of land separating Lake Huron from the Georgian Bay. The Georgian Bay, in many people’s opinion, should have been designated the sixth Great Lake, but Samuel de Champlain, the first European to explore and map the area in 1615, saw it as a bay of Lake Huron and called it “La Mer douce”—the calm sea. Boaters have been working and playing on that “calm sea” ever since. Tobermory is one of the premier towns on the Georgian Bay and has the good fortune of being home to two national parks—one above the water and one below. It is also set in the heart of a World Biosphere Reserve. Tobermory is uniquely suited to be a northern boater’s paradise. The numerous islands and fresh 44 MARINALIFE.COM
clear water combine to make this area one of the world’s most beautiful cruising grounds. There are several ways to approach Tobermory by water: from the south through the Trent-Severn Waterway and the Georgian Bay; through the North Channel and Manitoulin Island; or across Lake Huron from Michigan to the west. However you approach it, it is breathtaking. Another memorable way to arrive in Tobermory, if you’re traveling by car, is aboard the MS Chi-Cheemaun car-and-passenger ferry, which connects Route 6 from South Baymouth on Manitoulin Island to Tobermory. It has been a Great Lakes tradition since the 1930s to travel across this ferry route. The name “Chi-Cheemaun” translates from the local Ojibwe language as “Big Canoe.” It is a trip to remember. The two primary harbors in Tobermory are Little Tub and Big Tub, with the town’s business area centered around Little Tub Harbor. The town’s commerce is based on the seasonal boaters and scuba divers who come to enjoy the area’s unspoiled beauty. The year-round population of 1,200 grows

substantially in the warmer months. Boaters can stay at the Tobermory Marina (519-596-2731) in Little Tub Harbor or at Big Tub Harbor Resort Marina (519-596-2219, www.bigtubresort.ca). If you’re looking for more seclusion, you will find many empty coves in which to drop anchor and enjoy pristine shorelines. Visitors by land will find no shortage of hotels, bed and breakfasts and cabins to rent. The natural splendor of the area is protected by Bruce Peninsula National Park. The park contains a unique geological ridge called the Niagara Escarpment, which extends from New York through Michigan and Minnesota and comprises the shoreline of many of the Great Lakes. Along the Bruce Peninsula, the Niagara Escarpment forms dramatic cliffs rising out of the sparkling lake water. Fathom Five National Marine Park protects the area’s rich maritime history. Tobermory has been an entry point for shipping for hundreds of years. Over the centuries, the region’s uncharted rocks and reefs have taken their toll on these vessels, and the
shipwrecks preserved in the fresh cold water are a scuba-diving history lover’s wonder world. Tobermory is known today as the scuba-diving capital of Canada. In addition to protecting the shipwrecks, the park also protects the region’s lighthouses and island ecosystems. The islands surrounding Tobermory hold some of the world’s most picturesque harbors and coves. Flowerpot Island—with its signature, sculpted limestone shorelines, carved by wind and water— is one of the most photographed islands in the Great Lakes. It is many boaters’ dream to cruise through the Great Lakes, whether as part of a Great Loop adventure or as a destination unto itself. If you are not lucky enough to live in this beautiful area or do not have the time to get your own boat here, you will find several charter companies ready to help you plan a cruise. Two weeks aboard a charter boat—sail or power—will give you ample time to explore the Tobermory area as well as the renowned North Channel.
The region’s magnificence and seclusion is second to none, but it comes with some navigational challenges. The dramatic rocky shorelines descend beneath the water’s surface, creating unforgiving obstacles for the inattentive boater. But one of the benefits of a rocky shoreline, unlike a soft sandy bottom, is that once it is charted accurately, it changes very little. As long as you pay careful attention to the charts and local cruising guides, you will have little problem navigating the area. Tobermory is a three-season destination. Many of the businesses close in December and open again in March. This spring would be an excellent time to plan a summer cruise to remember. m l To view this article online, visit www.marinalife.com/tobermory.

Tales of an Epic Journey to Chesapeake Bay
Crab Decks & Tiki Bars By Susan Elnicki Wade
46 MARINALIFE.COM
While we wait for the waitress to bring us a dozen steamed crabs, we raise our glasses in a victory toast. Our celebration goes unnoticed, because it’s a sunny day and we’re sitting at a Chesapeake Bay crab deck that’s bustling with people who are busy with their own hot crabs and cold beer. An armada of boats is pulling into the marina below, and children are fishing from the dock. Amid the happy chaos, we smile and shout, “We did it!” For seven months, my husband Bill and I traveled to more than 160 crab houses and tiki bars on the Chesapeake Bay, and this crab deck is the last stop on our epic journey. We have been gluttonous along the way, consuming about 11 gallons of crab soup, 300 oysters, 85 crab cakes, 40 pounds of mussels, 25 rockfish, 200 steamed shrimp and Lord knows how many beer, wine and rum drinks. But it has been worth every calorie.
Tasting the local wares was required research for our book, “Crab Decks & Tiki Bars of the Chesapeake Bay.” Officially, the book is a travel guide to the waterfront eateries that serve some of the tastiest seafood on the planet, but in our hearts it is a family album, packed with memories of the places where we had our first romantic dates, taught our boys about jellyfish and blue herons, and caught rockfish in the shadows of the Bay Bridge. Our celebration continues when the plastic tray holding a pile of plump red crabs lands on our table. I watch with admiration as Bill eases the tender meat from the shells. His hands move as
sacrificed their lives for our research. Ironically, our travels have paralleled the same migratory path that crabs swim each year in the Bay.

swiftly as a Phillips processing plant worker’s, because he’s a true Maryland native who’s picked crabs since he was just a pup. He generously hands me a few meaty backfin clumps, knowing that picking crabs doesn’t come easy for me. My youth was spent in western Pennsylvania, stalking brook trout in cool Allegheny mountain streams. But ever since my first bite of Maryland rockfish, I’ve embarked on a quest to taste all the Bay’s seafood delicacies and unlock the secrets of cooking them. We order another round and lift our glasses this time to all the crabs that
hidden necks of St. Mary’s and Charles counties uncovered a cornucopia of rural treasures. We discovered a gem tucked away at a marina up the Port Tobacco River, where the cream of crab soup set the bar high for all the others we tasted. A trinity of restaurants on Popes Creek showed us how the rolling farmlands could accommodate a lively tiki bar, a traditional crab house and an American-cuisine restaurant in one remote location. Between meals, we would sneak in history lessons by taking our boys to places along the Potomac River such as St. Clements

Island, where the first Catholics landed in the New World, and the spot where John Wilkes Booth tried to escape into Virginia after shooting President Lincoln. Raucous laughter from the marina interrupts our trip down memory lane. A sunburned boater tells a tale about the super-sized rockfish that got away, while his buddies cackle in disbelief. After the mayhem dies down, Bill returns to our story. He reminds me how we had to adopt a new research strategy when we headed north toward Annapolis and Baltimore. Instead of scouring the countryside, where locating crab decks often felt like finding a needle in a haystack, we faced the daunting task of investigating scores of restaurants in congested urban areas. The best approach, we decided, was to begin on the outskirts and then head into town. Rivers such as the Middle, Back and Severn often felt like Main Street in suburban communities, with all roads leading to the water and crab decks acting as community centers, where neighbors convened to catch up on local news. Tiki and crab décor often collided, creating watering holes for families during the day and singles after dark. Outside Annapolis we noticed that sailors dressed in uniform were as commonplace at crab decks as watermen in raincoats and boots. In Dundalk and Glen Burnie, smokestacks puffed fumes into sunsets over the water, and boaters wearing Ravens jerseys picked crabs alongside businessmen in suits. I take a slow sip of my Chardonnay and remember the frigid trips to inner-city crab decks. Knowing that most of Baltimore’s waterfront eateries are open year-round, we saved those
visits for the offseason. We braved freezing rain and snowstorms, but waitresses always warmed us up with steaming bowls of creamy oyster stew and spicy vegetable crab soup. We had already spent a lot of time in Baltimore, but researching the book gave us a new objective: to see if this town really is the epicenter of crab and tiki. And we weren’t disappointed. We feasted on sautéed soft shells topped with beurre blanc at tables draped in white linens, and we sampled hard shells coated with Old Bay on tables covered with brown paper. We dined in a restaurant shaped like a ship and watched watermen haul fresh catch from rusty boats. And a tiki barge plopped in the middle of the Inner Harbor gave us an ideal view of the city skyline at night. Yes, the urban crab scene was better than we had expected. Feeling frustrated that I can’t get the last morsel of meat from a claw and secretly wishing I had ordered a crab cake instead, I take a break from picking and ask Bill to tell me his favorite part of our journey. Without a doubt, he answers, it was the Northern Headwaters. His parents kept their boat at Kent Narrows, so he had never seen where the Susquehanna pours into the Bay, and he relished the discovery of unfamiliar territory. On a warm spring morning, we left our home in Washington and arrived at Havre de Grace in time for a picture-perfect lunch at the water’s edge. After several stops at marinas and crab decks in Cecil County, we were lucky to pass under the graceful arch of the Chesapeake City Bridge at sunset. We marveled at the spectacular view as a parade of boats cruised along the C&D Canal. Amid the town’s
The outside deck at Catamarans Restaurant in Solomons Island, Md.
Victorian homes, antique shops and galleries, we found a waterfront deck with a plastic shark bursting through the bar’s thatched roof and tiki masks carved into palm trees. Bill takes a swig of Budweiser and wipes flecks of crab shrapnel off his shirt. While signaling for our check, he turns the question back at me. What had been my favorite? Hmm … I think for a minute and then answer that I had a soft spot for the Eastern Shore’s subtle charm. While watching our boys swim at Betterton Beach, I had imagined 19th-century steamboats delivering visitors to amusement parks in the glory days. I loved the historic homes lined up along the water in Chestertown, but the islands and marshes around Crisfield had stolen my heart. During one of our exhaustive research stages, I had eaten oysters while staring at Baltimore’s city skyline on Thursday, and then by Saturday I was on the Eastern Shore driving along the narrow causeways of Hoopers Island, gazing at the rugged primal marshland. That’s when I understood the many faces
and moods of the Chesapeake Bay. Each neck and tributary has its own personality, and I had come to cherish them all. We take one last look at the Bay as the sun drops low in the sky, feeling pleased with our accomplishment yet a little sad about the journey’s end. Writing and publishing our book wouldn’t be nearly as much fun as researching it had been, but we look forward to sharing our adventures with other Bay fans and introducing a new crowd to the Chesapeake. Then I start thinking: Perhaps we should do a book about oysters? m l
The Tiki Barge, located on the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, has gorgeous views of the city, a pool and two tiki bars.

The
Texas Gulf Coast
By Ellen Honey
Exploring Palacios to Port Aransas The Texas Gulf Coast Bend from Palacios to Port Aransas abounds with balmy sea breezes, boat-to-plate seafood, a temperate climate and a simpler lifestyle. Coastal cruisers should allow plenty of time to tour these small towns offering big opportunities for exploration. Palacios (pronounced Puh-LASH-uhs) is nestled along the Tres Palacios Bay, midway between Galveston and Corpus Christi. Its deep historical roots go back to the 1685 arrival of the French explorer LaSalle. In the mid-1990s, a ship lost in that expedition was discovered in Matagorda Bay. Recovery of the shipwrecked La Belle is considered one of the greatest archaeological efforts of the latter half of the 20th century. Palacios’s City by

the Sea Museum (361-972-1148, citybythebaymuseum.org) has a special display about the voyage. Every Fourth of July, residents in full costume re-enact LaSalle’s landing. The port is home to the largest fishing fleet on the Texas coast. Recreational boaters share the harbor with about 200 shrimp trawlers, one of the largest fleets in the United States—it’s no surprise that the port of Palacios is known as the “Shrimp Capital of Texas.” Downtown, the Outrigger Grill (515 Commerce St., 361-9721479) serves up local shrimp a half-dozen different ways. As its T-shirt proudly boasts, “Shrimp Happens!” Matagorda County Navigation District No. 1’s newest recreational facility, South Bay Marina (361-972-3348,

More than 61,000 visitors annually visit the refuge, renowned as the winter home of the world’s largest wild flock of endangered whooping cranes. The magnificent bird’s story is one of survival—the wild flock numbered only 18 in 1938, but successful conservation efforts have helped increase their number to nearly 300. Visitors’ hearts are captured by the stately elegance and distinctive vocalizations of the crane, which grows to about five feet tall and has a seven-foot wingspan.

Improving Orcas’Chances for Survival
Male killer whales can live 50 to 60 years in the wild; females can live up to 90 years.
By David Rasmussen
KILLER WHALES INHABIT every ocean in the world, even the Arctic and Antarctic. They are an integral part of the marine environment—and now, they need our help. Orcas have been calling the Pacific Northwest home for thousands of years. Males of the species can grow to 26 feet and 12,000 pounds. They are exceptionally fast marine mammals and can reach speeds up to 30 knots. There are three distinct types of orcas: resident, transient and offshore, and each has its own culture, dialect and diet. They are all in critical danger due to lack of prey, pollution, disturbances from marine vessels and, many believe, military sonar. The resident-orca pods of the Salish Sea were declared an endangered species in 2005. There are currently only about 83 of these orcas in the region. The whales are closely monitored by the Orca Network, and sightings are usually posted on the group’s website, orcanetwork.org. Resident orcas dine primarily on salmon, specifically Chinook (king) salmon. They can follow schools of salmon and pick out only the Chinook with their extremely sensitive underwater sonar. The transient-pod orca populations travel extensively but return to the same areas annually. They prefer a diet of marine mammals such as seals, sea lions and other whales; in some cases, they feed on the occasional deer 54 MARINALIFE.COM
or moose swimming between islands. The resident and transient pods avoid each other and “speak” entirely different dialects. Both populations’ dialects are also distinct from the third group’s, the offshore pods. The orcas in these pods tend to be smaller than the resident and transient ones and have a combined diet of fish and mammals. They are primarily found off the islands of British Columbia. Many individuals and organizations in the Pacific Northwest have come to the orcas’ aid. One of them is the Port Townsend Marine Science Center, an educational and scientific organization devoted to understanding and conserving the region’s marine and shoreline environments. Located in Fort Worden State Park in Washington state, at the extreme northeast point of the Quimper Peninsula, the center was established by two teachers 30 years ago and was initially supported by volunteers. The extraordinary staff has now grown to number more than 100 people. Another group dedicated to the cause is the Port Townsend Bay Maritime Education Alliance. The sixmember staff passionately believes that environmental education may be the strongest ally the orcas have. The Whale Museum of Friday Harbor contends, “It is only through an understanding of the orcas’ needs for a healthy habitat and plentiful resources that we can develop the conservation policies that will ensure their survival.”
We are all responsible for improving the marina environments we so love and protecting the creatures that inhabit them. Here are some of the things you can do to help: 1. Choose not to pollute our waters. Don’t dump holding tanks directly into the water, never discharge oily bilge water, and use devices such as the Davis Instruments No-Spill Fuel Catcher to prevent any fuel spills that may occur while filling up. 2. Minimize the use of fertilizer products you use on your lawns. Runoff from these products contains harmful chemicals that can affect the lowest levels of the food chain, which is eventually deeply harmful to marine life. 3. Consider using the new boat-bottom paints that minimize or eliminate copper and other materials to discourage marine growth. Even small amounts of copper sloughed off by older paints can end up in the eel grasses consumed by fish lower in the food chain. These fish are part of a salmon’s diet and when toxic can destroy a salmon’s ability to return to the stream from which it came. This in turn depletes the availability of food sources for predators such as killer whales.
7 - / U
4. Maintain safe distances from all marine mammals. Whales, porpoises and dolphins should be given clear paths, and you should keep at least a 100-yard buffer zone between your vessel and these animals. In 2011, the NOAA Fisheries Service adopted new regulations to protect all killer whales in the Pacific Northwest. The new regulations require that you not cause a vessel to approach within 200 yards of any killer whale and that you not position a craft to be in the path of a killer that is within 400 yards of your vessel. 5. Learn more about what you can do to positively impact
our marine and shoreline environments. It’s through many small, individual actions that we can expect to see improvements in our endangered lakes, streams and oceans. ml For more information about the plight of the Pacific Northwest’s orcas and what you can do to help, visit www.ptmsc.org, www.whalemuseum.org, noaa.org and www.pacificwhalewatch.org.

In the hands of an experienced angler, a cast net can fill the livewell with bunker in short order.
Live from the Met!
Live-lining menhaden is a deadly tactic to score trophy-sized striped bass for metropolitan area anglers. By Jeff Merrill
S
pring is prime time to catch trophy-sized striped bass along the Jersey coast from Raritan Bay south to Barnegat Inlet, where some of the best action occurs as massive schools of menhaden choke the bay and the coast and attract schools of stripers. Raritan Bay includes the New Jersey and Staten Island, New York coasts with numerous launch ramps for visiting anglers in several locations. Several Marinalife-member marinas in the area put you right in the heart of the action, where 25-pounders are average and striped bass well over 30 pounds are quite common. Water temperature and arrival of the bunker are key
factors to when the action heats up. A mild winter will get local anglers anxious to get out on the water, where they’ll search for bass by late April, although live-lining begins around mid-May and lasts well into late June and sometimes early July. Mixed in with the striped bass are the season’s first bluefish, and these toothy critters start chopping on the menhaden and create a natural chum slick that seems to trigger the bass into a feeding mode. When the water temperature reaches 50 degrees, the bunker and bass will start to show in mass and the fishing gets red-hot. Live bait is the key, and getting on the bait early is paramount. Look for bunker to pop up anywhere at any time, though daybreak and dusk offer the best chance at finding

TOURNAMENT TIP Many big fish are lost not long after the hookup, but steps can be taken to avoid this. Designate the angler, know who will clear lines and teasers and also who will leader and gaff or release the fish. Communication is critical, and the captain and angler need to relay what the fish is doing. Anglers also need to know how to battle a big fish. Classic mistakes include reeling while the fish is taking line or just sitting in the chair and turning the handle instead of putting drag on the fish and allowing him to lift the angler up in the bucket harness and out of the fighting chair while putting maximum pressure on him. When the fish is at the boat, back off the drag a bit while keeping light hand pressure on the spool in case the fish lunges away when the mate goes for the release or gaff shot. And always try to turn the boat down sea when leadering a fish. Avoid being in a beam sea with the fish on the down sea side, because by the time you get a gaff in him, or if you get caught on a wave, you’ll run him over.
Trophy stripers are a favorite among metro-area anglers in the spring, and live baiting is a deadly way to catch them.

schools flipping on the surface. Bunker are plankton eaters and prefer off-colored water, and although they can be found at all depths, locating a surface school will quickly fill the livewell with a cast net, even though throwing an 8- or 10-foot net takes some practice. An easier approach is using a bunker snag, a treble hook cast into a 3- or 4-ounce lead, to catch bait. Cast the snag into the bait school and allow it to sink to the bottom before beginning the retrieve. Once hooked, allow the bait to swim freely and apply light pressure to the reel to prevent a backlash until a bite occurs. Another approach is to snag several bunker and place them in a livewell. Since striped bass are often caught and released after a quick photo this time of the year, anglers will usually snag bunker with the snag and transfer the bait to a circle hook rig. A good livewell that turns water over quickly to remove blood and slime is a must. Although bunker are pretty hearty, snagged baits last longer than those caught in a cast net since the slime is not removed from the bait. Locating bass often can be as easy as locating the bunker. Often stripers will be found crushing the baitfish so don’t hesitate work the same areas. Other spots where bass can often be found include edges found along the channel as well as holes and high bottom. Note marks
along the bottom on the color scope but keep in mind bluefish could be mixed in with the bass as well. Most anglers prefer a 7- or 7 1/2-foot medium to mediumheavy conventional rod matched to a light lever drag reel filled with 50-pound test braid or monofilament. Although some anglers prefer a fish-finder rig with a sinker slide or egg sinker, others utilize a three-way swivel to which they attach 36-inch, 50- or 80-pound test fluorocarbon leader and a 9/0 or 10/0 Gamakatsu Octopus Circle or Live Bait Circle hook with a snell. A large sinker snap is used for attaching weights that range from 6 to 10 ounces depending on current and water depth. Bunker should be hooked through the lower jaw and out through the nose to keep the mouth of the bait nearly closed so it doesn’t spin in the current and to keep the hook from fouling in the bait. Drop the bait to the bottom and apply light thumb pressure on the reel. When a bass picks up a bunker it usually swallows the bait head first. Continue with light thumb pressure, and if the fish is still taking line, set the hook and hang on! m l Visit www.marinalife.com/fishingNJ to view this article online. SPRING 2012 59

Mahi-mahi, marlin, tuna, wahoo and mackerel are but a few of the possible catches of the day. Hooking a jack, snapper or bonefish in the morning and cooking your catch on the grill that night is the definition of the good life. Fish from your own vessel, hire a guide, or charter a boat. Fishing and island hopping are not your only choices of what to do. The diving and snorkeling in the Bahamas are some of the best in the world, and no place is better known for its dive sites
than the Exuma chain. Dive or snorkel on patch reefs, do deeper wall dives, or try one of the well-known blue holes for a scuba experience you will never forget. Bring along a kayak or rent one from one of the many vendors in the Exuma settlements for an up-close-and-personal view of the spectacular waters and coastline. Preserves such as the Exuma Land & Sea Park have nature trails to hike and undisturbed underwater habitats to explore. The southern Bahamas offers a real Caribbean experience, with deserted islands and white sandy beaches that rival any other in the region. If golfing is your passion, hit one of the Bahamas’ three world-class golf courses. The Abaco Club is a private facility with reciprocal privileges. Treasure Cay Golf Club, at Treasure Cay, and Grand Isle Resort, on Great Exuma, round out the offerings. All three are challenging 18-hole courses with stunning vistas that will at times be distracting to players, and all offer amenities that rival or surpass many golf clubs in the U.S. The lower Exumas are a seasonal destination for many boaters. During the winter months, the warm and balmy trade winds make for some very The Bahamas are full of beautiful white sandy beaches.
comfortable weather. Your options for adventure are almost endless. Feed the iguanas on Allans Cay, swim with the pigs at Pig Beach on Big Major Spot, snorkel Thunderball Grotto—of James Bond fame—at Staniel Cay, or join in the festivities that run almost nonstop in Georgetown. Elizabeth Harbor, located near Georgetown, is home to the annual Family Island Regatta Week, held during the last full weekend of April. The event brings together Bahamian boat builders and sailors to compete during five days of sailing. More than 400 boats at once have been known to visit the harbor during regatta week, still leaving ample room for more. Daily volleyball games occur at, you guessed it, Volleyball Beach, plus there are sing-alongs, pot lucks, boating seminars and local holiday festivities. The biggest problem with cruising to the Bahamas is, when it’s time to leave, you may not have done everything you wanted to. It truly is better in the Bahamas, and that’s probably why boaters are drawn back there over and over and over again. m l

Suntex Ventures Building a company for success, one marina at a time By Joy McPeters
Dallas-based Suntex Ventures has ambitious plans to more than triple its portfolio of marinas. Given Chairman & CEO Johnny Powers’ passion, energy and access to capital, this seems very possible. Powers acquired his first marina in Texas in the mid-1990s, right out of law school. He and his partner, Ron Rhoades, initially focused mostly on commercial and residential real estate, but they saw a unique opportunity in marinas and began taking their acquisitions in that direction in 2000, originally naming the company Sun Resorts. Powers and Rhoades have built a strong team of principals, including Bryan Powers and Rhoades believe Redmond and Andy Chafoulias, to help them implement their strategy, and Suntex currently owns nine marinas valued at more than $150 million, with 120 that the first step to success is to employees and properties in Texas, New Jersey, Florida, Iowa and St. Maarten. create an excellent workplace Powers believes that there has never been a better time for industry consolidaenvironment for their employees. tion. His long-term strategy is to expand Suntex with a four-pronged approach: concentrate on acquiring marinas on U.S. Army Corp of Engineering lakes; grow the Suntex brand along the eastern seaboard from Florida to New Jersey; expand Caribbean assets; and pursue partnerships, joint ventures and mergers with other existing marina portfolios. Powers and Rhoades believe that the first step to success is to create an excellent workplace environment for their employees. “Offering an opportunity for career growth while also creating an atmosphere of fun for our team leads to the delivery of superior customer service,” says Chris Petty, Suntex Vice President of Operations and a former General Manager at Sun Resorts. Suntex is also focused on proactively responding to customer feedback, which is why each marina is undergoing upgrades of all bathroom facilities. “Nice bathrooms are always at the top of the customer survey,” says Powers, who adds that “our goal is to create an experience where boaters— whether they have a personal watercraft or a mega yacht—can enjoy their time at the marina.” m l

Located on the southern tip of Eluethera, Lighthouse Point is a pristine, undeveloped gem of the Bahamas.
A Slice of Eleuthera
My quest for the perfect pineapple pie was well worth the adventure By Victoria Allman
“It’s a long way to go for pie,” cautioned my husband Patrick, as we bumped along a stretch of Bahamian road from South Eleuthera to North Eleuthera. “ Yes, but it’s worth it,” I answered with authority. It would be our third pineapple pie of the week. On our first day on the island, we had hiked over a scruffy hill down a crater-maze of a road to Surfer’s Beach. As the turquoise water curled under Patrick’s surfboard, I struck up a conversation with a deeply tanned group of surfers. “You’ve got to go to Monica’s for a hamburger after the beach,” said George, a Floridian who had been coming to the island for the past 30 years. “And a pineapple pie,” added a woman, who rubbed wax on her surfboard as she spoke. “Hers are the best in town.” The whole group nodded. “Yip!” agreed a yellow-haired island dog, which was snuggled deep in the sand. So, it was no surprise when later that day all of us ended up on the porch at Monica’s, ordering 66 MARINALIFE.COM
cheeseburgers and trading weather reports and swell conditions. As the lone non-surfer, I went inside to talk with Monica. Steam from the griddle fogged her glasses, but her smile was visible from everywhere in the dim room. “I’ve been told this is the best place on the island for pineapple pie,” I said. I was hoping to charm a recipe from her. Oh, child. I don’t know about that.” Her laugh filled the small space. She turned her back to tend to the burgers. Another woman with tight cornrows pulled back from her face handed me a pie wrapped in waxed paper from the case below the register. “You’re gonna like this.” Back on Monica’s porch, Patrick and I devoured our cheeseburgers
at a rickety wooden picnic table and moved on to the pie. I split open the 4inch round like a book, and the sweet smell of pineapple mixed with warm notes of nutmeg rose up. This was like no pie I had ever seen. In place of short flaky crust was a light spongy, cake-like shell. A thin layer of pineapple jam was sandwiched beneath top lattice crust. With one bite into the moist, not-toosweet, not-too-pineapple-y treat, I knew it would not be my last. The next day, Ponytail Pete, the local surfing guru at Rebecca’s Surf Shop, whispered to me, “Two doors down, a lady named Mary sells pies at the 7-Eleven. “ Normally, I avoid anything sold as foodstuff at 7-Eleven, but who am I to argue with local knowledge? We stopped by the shop and picked up one of Mary’s pies, then bounced in the Jeep along a one-way busted-up limestone path to Lighthouse Beach on the island’s Atlantic side. Steven, a large island man selling conch and barbecue by the side of the road, had tipped us off to Lighthouse
Beach. “Slow Down: Fresh Conch and Jerk Pit Ahead” the sign had read, and so we’d heeded it. “Hello, boss, and good day to you, baby” Steven called out to Patrick and me when we pulled over. Half-a-dozen pink shells lined his wooden countertop, the meat still wriggling inside. He munched on the horn of a conch while he talked and chopped at the same time. “I ain’t been down there in 12 years,” he said. “It’s an hour away, you know.” He dunked a green pepper into a bucket of water with halved limes floating on the top, then diced it and repeated the process with a tomato. “But, it da prettiest beach in all da Bahamas.” He bagged the conch salad and sent us off with a smile. After hiking up and over sand dunes and through native shrub, we emerged onto Lighthouse Beach to find a never-ending azure vista. Eons of water and wind erosion decorated the limestone cliffs. The sapphire ocean turned to teal and then aquamarine before lapping gently over rose-colored sand. I lowered my sunglasses to make sure it was not a polarized-lens trick. Patrick fell asleep immediately, a coconut for his pillow. All the blissful elements were there: the sound of surf, the warm Bahamian sun, a slight breeze to keep us cool, and the flies at bay. But my mind could not be lulled into relaxing. I couldn’t stop thinking about the pineapple pie in the cooler bag beside me. Luckily, it wasn’t long before the grumbling of Patrick’s stomach woke him, and I unpacked our lunch of conch salad and barbecued chicken legs from Steven’s stand, plus some macaroni and cheese. Mary’s Eleuthera is known for having some of the best surfing spots in the Bahamas.
pineapple pie was the perfect ending to our picnic. It had less of a moist, crumbly bottom than Monica’s and maybe slightly more sticky pineapple reduction, but the effect was the same. It was delicious and disappeared in moments. The next morning we went diving among gray angelfish, rainbow parrotfish and midnight blue tangs. I chased a mosaic wrasse around a coral outcrop, trying to memorize its exact shades of blue and yellow for kitchen paint when I got back home— Monticello Yellow and Blue Reef, according to the Ralph Lauren paint swatches. Patrick spotted a brownand-tan trumpetfish trying to fool us into thinking it was a piece of coral. As schools of yellow snapper floated above. Patrick reached out to fan a sea cucumber that looked like Snuffleupagus’ trunk. Afterward, exhausted and starving, we headed “down north,” as the locals say, to Cocoplum’s wooden beachfront deck for a few cold Kaliks and some conch salad that Coco diced before our eyes. “You haven’t had nothin’ ‘til you try my mother-in-law Helen’s pie at the airport,” Coco assured me, after hearing of my newfound love for the taste of Eleuthera. Airport meals are another thing I try to avoid, but I was not about to doubt Coco’s food wisdom after tasting his version of conch salad. His rendition contained less onion than previous bowls I had tried, and he used a combination of goat and finger peppers for heat and flavor. “You can line up 10 guys and give them the same ingredients, and they all will make salads that taste different,” Coco said. As the sun plummeted too quickly, signaling the end of our holiday, I convinced Patrick to get back in the Jeep and drive to the airport to pick up a pie from Helen. Although she laughed like a schoolgirl when I asked for her recipe, I knew that her years of experience meant she put the flavors of the island into every single pie. Her pie was moist and lighter than the others we had
BAHAMIAN PINEAPPLE PIE Makes 8 individual tarts 1 fresh pineapple,chopped 1 cup sugar 1 lime,juiced 1 stick butter,soft 1 tablespoon baking powder
3 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1 /8 teaspoon nutmeg 1 egg 1 cup cream
Simmer the pineapple, sugar and lime juice on the stove for 20 minutes to reduce. Set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of a standing mixer, blend butter, baking powder, flour, sugar and nutmeg with the paddle attachment until it is crumbled together. Add egg and cream and mix until dough forms a ball. Do not overmix. Turn onto a lightly floured board and divide dough in half, then further divide one-half into eight balls. Roll out the balls to 1/4-inch thick and line 8 greased tart tins. Fill with pineapple filling. Divide remaining dough in four and roll out to 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips with a crimped pastry roller.Weave the pastry strips across the tops of the tarts to form lattice-work patterns. Bake for 30 minutes until golden.
tried, baked in a rectangular sheet pan and cut in squares. Patrick was right. It was a long way to go for pie, but a week on the island of Eleuthera made it all worthwhile.

Kennebunkport, Maine By Joy McPeters

Robert Dennis
The town of Kennebunkport sits between the Kennebunk River and the Atlantic Ocean, 30 miles south of Portland and 85 miles north of Boston. Many know Kennebunkport as the summer home of former President George H.W. Bush (the oceanfront Bush Compound is set on Walkersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Point).The town offers something for everyone, from outdoor activities such as whale watching and kayaking to great shopping, dining and art. Several excellent docking options along the Kennebunk River mean that the area can be readily explored. Kennebunkport has a rich maritime heritage dating back to the 1600s. It was a shipbuilding center for five-masted ships and large schooners, and since its founding it has been known as a fishing village due to its safe harbor along the Kennebunk River and its easy ocean access. These days, Kennebunkport is a full-fledged tourist destination with beautiful seaside estates that have been converted into bed and breakfasts and hotels. Dock Square, one of the liveliest areas, is filled with seafood restaurants, galleries and souvenir shops. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss the beautiful strand of sand along Beach Avenue, a short walk from Dock Square. In the off-season, bring your four-legged friends to romp on the beach, too.
Did you know: Jimmy Dean,of country music and sausage fame,kept his boat in Kennebunkport for the summers during the late 1980s and early‘90s.The name of the boat was“Big John,”from his hit record back in the‘60s.Dean stayed on the boat all the time and could always be found sitting on the top deck reading,working and waving to passersby.

fuels offer poor lubricity, contain more moisture, destabilize rapidly and are more susceptible to bacteria growth. Because sulfur in diesel helped to lubricate the fuel system, lower sulfur diesel can cause premature injector and fuel pump wear and failure.
ValvTect Marine Diesel contains BioGuard TM biocide, VT 101 Lubricity improver, water dispersant, corrosion inhibitor, cetane improver and stabilizer. It also contains Diesel Guard detergent that cleans-up injector deposits (gunk) and has been found to help improve fuel economy as much as 6% or more. VALVTECT MARINE DIESEL with BIOGUARD TM
