Tragedy of the Commons

by Joe Evans

I

suppose we can be thankful that we have something left to argue over. At the moment, it’s the usual— striped bass, oysters, and menhaden.

Before effective institutional natural resource science became a thing, no one knew—and hardly anyone cared to know—about the state of our shared Chesapeake Bay bounty. Fish and shellfish were just there for the taking, and may the best man win.

Not so long ago, as we entered what I’ll call the Age of Chesapeake Bay Enlightenment, forward-thinking leaders recognized the probability of ruin in the absence of limits to the exploitation of these resources. It’s a concept known as the Tragedy of the Commons, wherein a public resource controlled by users acting in selfinterest will be depleted.

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation was formed in in 1967. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources became a cabinet-level entity two years later. In the early 1970s The Maryland Center for Environmental Science became a part of the University of Maryland system and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science ascended to prominence under the William & Mary umbrella with mandates to provide research, analysis, and advice. The Chesapeake Bay Program formed in 1983 to consolidate and coordinate Bay restoration throughout the watershed.

Thus, the Bay developed highly trained, internationally regarded scientists and facilities to provide critical information and guidance on how to manage things, if only we,

12

ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

through our elected officials, would take the advice.

I had the pleasure of working shoulder-to-shoulder with Maryland’s fisheries biologists and analysts everyday for seven years, and I can assure you that they are dedicated, honest, and talented professionals working under challenging conditions and capricious political and administrative circumstances. They are serious about their mission to deliver unbiased data and conclusions and provide earnest guidance. For scientists, facts are facts. Anything else is just a wild-ass guess.

Right now, we are in critical listening stages on: Striped bass— It’s clear that the population is overfished. The scientists charged with the analysis recommend that we immediately reduce striped bass mortality by 18 percent. In May, Virginia shut down its spring trophy season and then moved to reduce mortality by as much as 24 percent by lowering the recreational keeper number from two to one fish per day per angler, raising the minimum size to 36 inches, and instituted commercial gill-net mesh sizes to limit the size of fish caught in the nets.

Maryland restricted some recreational gear in 2018 and enhanced outreach and education programs this year to reduce catch and release mortality. On the table for 2020 are—pushing the spring trophy season back to May 1, maybe shorter commercial and recreational seasons, and even a recreational shutdown during the

November/December 2019

hottest weeks of July when the fish are most susceptible to release mortality.

Oysters—Maryland’s public oyster fishery is in the dumps with more than half of the open oyster grounds being overfished. The adult oyster population has dropped from 600 million to 300 million since 1999 and is now at about two percent of historic levels. Last year’s heavy rains exacerbated the issue by flooding the Bay with fresh water. In response, the state is reducing the open fishery by one day a week, which scientists feel will do little to address the issues.

Notably, the administration did not move to close the overfished areas.

What?

Menhaden—These essential forage fish are part of the foundation of the Chesapeake ecosystem, and they also serve an important filtering function in the Bay. Virginia continues to allow the large-scale industrial fishing for them by Omega Protein, a Canadian salmon-farming company, which has announced its intention to exceed the 51,000 metric-ton Bay harvest cap.

This audacious maneuver sets up the likelihood of a major political throwdown, which could end up on the desk of the U. S. Secretary of Commerce, who could shut the fishery down until the issue is resolved.

I can’t help wondering if we would be going through all of this if we had just listened to our scientists to begin with.

The High Art of the Eastern Shore Oyster Roast

14

Tradition and Taste on Virginia’s Eastern Shore

by Robert Gustafson

T

he high shell middens that crenelated the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in the Age of Discovery were testaments to generations of the Native American appetite for roasted shellfish well before Europeans arrived. Within days of landing in Virginia, George Percy, one of the original English colonists in Jamestown, inadvertently interrupted a Native American oyster roast on Lynnhaven Bay in present-day Virginia Beach. In April 1607, he wrote: ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

November/December 2019

“We came to a place where they had made a great fire, and had been newly roasting Oysters.

When they perceived our coming, they fled away to the mountains [actually dunes topped with trees near Cape Henry] and left many of the Oysters in the fire. We eat [sic] some of the Oysters, which were very large and delicate in taste.”

The taste for roasted oysters has not diminished in the towns and hamlets lining the Chesapeake. By the 1880s, tidewater newspapers were full of reports of oyster roasts held to benefit churches and clubs, lure voters to political rallies, and for pure sociability. The Peninsula Enterprise newspaper, published in Accomac (known as Drummondtown until 1893) on the Eastern Shore between 1881 and 1965 includes glimpses into the lives of our ancestors more than a century ago:

Grand Democratic Rally at Parksley! Judge J.W. Marshall (Cyclone Jim) will speak at Parksley on next Wednesday at 2 o’clock. Oyster Roast at same time. Reduced rates on train have been requested. October 3, 1896 Chincoteague -- Smoked eyes and burnt fingers were some of the results of a late social and oyster roast, but all agreed it was a splendid affair and just the event of the season. Later developments seem to indicate that it was a matrimonial success to several in attendance. December 23, 1893

“Life on the Eastern Shore of Virginia slows slightly in the winter months,” says Robie Marsh, Executive Director of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Tourism Commission and the Eastern Shore of Virginia Chamber of Commerce, “So, the tradition of community gathering around an historically winter-cultivated crop probably happened naturally.” “Today there are more oyster roasts than we

drinks. Oysters on the half-shell, crab cakes, soft crabs and other specialties are on the menu at some oyster roasts.

Beer and wine are usually available for a reasonable fee. Occasionally, you are invited to bring your own.

The hidden secret of many Eastern Shore oyster roasts is a silent auction designed to enhance the fundraising. Eastern Shore decoy carvers, visual artists, boat captains,

Belle Haven – An oyster roast was held at Exmore Station last Wednesday in honor of the president-elect by the colored people, and in the evening they marched through our town.

December 5, 1896 An oyster roast will be given on the grounds of the public schoolhouse at Drummondtown on Monday next. An abundant supply of oysters of the best quality has been secured for the occasion and everyone, who will, can partake of the feast for the small price of 25 cents . . .the proceeds will go to improving the church property. March 17, 1900 Today, between September and April, the Eastern Shore of Virginia continues this gustatory tradition by playing host to a sizzling array of oyster roasts that are open to the public, many of which raise funds for worthy local causes.

Each oyster roast has its own character and special features. Many Eastern shorewomen and shoremen attend multiple oyster roasts a season and it is possible to attend several in one weekend.

Steam heat, cups of beer, and shucking knives are essential.

have had traditionally, mainly because there are more community activities seeking support than in the past.”

The Eastern Shore of Virginia Tourism Commission maintains a list of oyster roasts and other events in Accomack and Northampton Counties on their website at visitesva.org and esvaoysters.com. Not all oyster roasts are listed, so an Internet search will dredge up additional ESVA bivalves eating opportunities.

All Eastern Shore oyster roasts include all-you-care-to-eat roasted oysters, usually steamed clams, and commonly unlimited barbecue, clear clam chowder (an Eastern Shore specialty), salads, desserts, and soft

tour guides, chefs, and specialty food makers donate items and experiences.

Sharp-eyed collectors and gourmands will seldom see such an array of hard-to-find local items on display and sometimes bargains can be had; but bid generously. This is for charity after all.

“Oyster roasts have become crazy popular,” says Peter Henderson, co-owner along with Hunt Addison of Eastern Shore Events & Rentals in Exmore, which puts on about 20 large oyster roasts a year for clients, in addition to usual weddings and other events. They can accommodate up to 500 guests at a time who eat as many as 40 bushels of oysters, and even

more if a raw bar is included.

The time-tested method of roasting oysters for big crowds begins with a hardwood fire in a longitudinally halved drum the size of a double bed.

A heavy steel plate goes over the fire and is allowed to heat up to a scalding temperature. Then, a bushel of oysters is shoveled onto the plate and covered with damp burlap to create steam. The steam pops the shells open to allow the wood smoke to flavor the meat , and very soon, the plate is carried to a high table and the oysters are dumped out for appreciative eaters who will devour them right there or show restraint and fill their plates to take to a table to sit and relax. Addison and Henderson have developed a twist that many think accounts for the outstanding taste of their roasted oysters. Instead of a solid metal plate, “we use an open grate. Smoke really does get into the meat of the oysters, but you’ve got to keep the fire just right,” says Henderson. They also use a custom-made metal “boat” to hold the fire.

Oyster roast etiquette can be summarized in two words, “dig in!”

ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

Piles of steamed shellfish generally continue to come well past dark.

Elbow your way in and rub shoulders with the locals as you belly-up.

Ramekins of melted butter, lemon wedges, and cruets of hot sauce are the standard accoutrements. The shells go into buckets or baskets under the table to be recycled into the Bay as cultch for future oysters to attach to.

“Bring an oyster knife and a glove,” advises Addison. “But we also have a guy around the tables to help show people how to pop them open,”

The proof!

November/December 2019

he adds. Arrays of oyster knives are available at The Great Machipongo Clam Shack (greatclams.com) and at Northampton Lumber in Nassawaddox.

In the colder months, heated tents help keep the weather at bay. Folks most often keep warm by the fire pit.

As darkness descends, grab a glass of local Chatham Vineyards Vintner’s Blend or a pint of Cape Charles Brewery Assateague IPA and make new friends around the flames.

“If you think about it, the pricing might look a little high but there are not too many places you can go out with your wife, have a couple of beers, eat oysters, a lot of times barbecue and other things, too. On top of it, you are supporting a good cause. It is a win-win,” says Addison.

The oyster roast tradition is going strong on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Attending one is a great opportunity for locals and visitors to celebrate Eastern Shore culture and to help support some excellent charities.

Robert Gustafson is an easternshoreman by way of Chicago, Harvard, and a career on Capitol Hill. He lives near Exmore where he coaches the Broadwater Academy track and cross-country teams.

Mark Noone of Slickee Boys fame leads the crew.

Yacht Rock Slickee Boys frontman reemerges in a blazer and captain’s cap as a rocking yachtsman.

s Gilligan might have asked: “Hey Skipper, what’s the difference between being a sailor and a singer in a rock-and-roll band?

It’s a seaworthy question according to Mark Noone, working musician, former lead for Washington’s legendary Slickee Boys, a ladies’ man with a preference for Ginger over Mary Ann, and a long-ago Annapolitan who has sailed the Chesapeake for most of his life.

Whether on stage or on board, “you have to be aware of everything,” said Noone, a 1973 graduate of Gonzaga High School. “You can’t just get on a boat and sail away, and every time you’re on stage you want to be better than the last time. You’re constantly learning” in both worlds.

And of course, while you may die metaphorically on stage (as anyone who’s ever tried stand-up at an open mic knows), inattention on the water can lead to Davy Jones’ Locker.

“On the water [and on stage],” said Noone, “Things can look like they’re going one way but they’re really going the other.”

Though the New Wave-era Slickee Boys are now but a Technicolor ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

November/December 2019

memory, Noone carries on in a handful of bands, including a trio he christened “The Yachtsmen,” who appear in yachting attire that would make Thurston Howell III jealous.

He has sailed the Chesapeake for just about as long as he’s been, in his words, “a show biz guy” and once owned a South Coast 21, one of about 300 designed by the fabled Carl Alberg [1900-to-1986] of Cape Dory 22 fame. It was called the Hi Noone.

The boat was left at the Noone family dock on what was once Cat Hole Creek and now goes by Lake Ogleton, a body of water inside Bay Ridge and Annapolis Roads that’s not quite a lake, a brackish cove renamed for a colonial governor of Maryland named Samuel Ogle.

The guy who asked permission to dock the South Coast at the Noone pier was a friend of Mark’s father, the late World War II veteran John “Jack”

John Penovitch and his Telecaster.

Noone. The elder Noone’s friend— perhaps like many a once-passionate boat owner whose love had gone cold—never returned for the vessel.

Thus, the teenage Noone had access to his first boat and all the charms of the Chesapeake. He signed up for sailing lessons at Anne Arundel Community College with his mother and sister. But, as is his wont, Mark soon went his own way, dismissing the classes as “not especially fun,” his prerequisite for just about everything.

“I crewed a few times on a neighbor’s boat for the Wednesday evening races,” he remembered.

“Everybody was way too serious.”

Fun was tooling around the Bay, drinking beer, telling tall tales, spying pretty girls sunning themselves on other boats, and getting to know fellow sailors.

“One blustery day, we came alongside some watermen who offered to sell us oysters,” remembered Noone, who never fished from the Hi Noone but from time-to-time would drop a crab trap.

“We gave the [watermen] a six-pack of Budweiser and ten bucks and got about 30 oysters for a feast back at my Dad’s—raw, steamed and grilled!”

And fun, at least in the telling, even when it wasn’t exactly fun at the time.

“One night, two friends of mine and I shoved off under a full moon at midnight and headed down the Bay with almost no wind—a clear, beautiful night, both shores were visible,” said Noone.

Captain Rock Star went below to nap and when he returned to the deck at daybreak, “my two pals were asleep with the tiller lashed!

“I dropped the main and the jenny and put up a jib and it started to rain. The rain and fog were getting heavier so I tightened the jib and ventured a little east to try and hug the shore, which I couldn’t see.”

By the time the Hi Noone was able to hail a passing workboat, the watermen allowed that they were “directly east of Bloodsworth Island,” a distance of some 60 nautical miles from home.

“We began tacking back,” said Noone, who may be a better judge of a good guitar riff than he is at picking shipmates. “It took all day.”

Not long after the South Coast 21 enlisted young Noone as a sailor, his life changed forever in 1975 with the death of his mom, Loretta Courneen Noone, and the following year’s release of the debut album from the Ramones.

talk of the bay

A one-time student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Noone said the four leather-clad punks from Queens left him “astonished by the Ramones stripped down approach to real rock-and-roll.

It was Brian Wilson with a mohawk.”

And just as he never imagined that a cool little sailboat would appear at the end of the family pier for him to use, Noone never dreamed that one day—indeed, several times—the Slickee Boys would open for the Ramones at local gigs like at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Today, all four of the original Ramones are dead; the Slickee Boys long-ago played their last of many reunion concerts; the Hi Noone got lost in the shuffle of a family squabble after Jack Noone died at age 98 in 2013, and Mark is now a Yachtsman only on-stage.

“One afternoon, I was graced onboard by some of Washington’s seminal punk musicians,” said Noone. “We were sailing and drinking Michelob and one shavedhead guy said, ‘Is everybody aware of how preppy this is’?”

And that spawned the idea for a new band, “to present the preppiest image possible and still rock.”

Which he will likely do, along with enjoying life on the Bay, for years to come.

“I have always gravitated to the water, I need to be on or near the water,” said Noone, who currently gets his kicks paddling a canoe and a kayak. “I’m sure I was some kinda fish in another life.”

Capt. Shane Hampton empties a diver’s haul.

Diving for Dinner Harvesting Oysters by Hand in the Bay story & photos by Ashley Stimpson

t’s hard to read the slip numbers in the half-light of dawn, and the rain isn’t helping.

“Do you see it?” I ask Jeff, my boyfriend and dive buddy. He says nothing.

I don’t have to look at him to know what he’s thinking, because I’m thinking it too. This was a bad idea.

It’s was a quiet ride from Baltimore to the Kent Narrows marina where we would meet a small group of folks to try our hand at a niche Chesapeake pastime—oyster diving. This wacky adventure seemed like a great idea when

we signed up for it a few months ago.

But on this November morning, temperatures are struggling to reach 40 degrees and the rain is as persistent as its been all season, meaning the Bay is a choppy, murky mess. Not the best conditions for a pleasure dive.

We are the last to arrive at slip 131. As we pull on our wetsuits in the dark, our group of six (plus a dive master) exchange quick introductions and jokes about the weather.

Shane Hampton is the boat captain and a retired oyster diver.

Later he will tell me about the jerry-rigged equipment he once used: how he punched holes and inserted tubing in his suit to pump it full of hot water from topside, allowing him to stay below the surface for hours at a time.

For now, though, he sequesters himself in the cabin and maneuvers us out of the marina and into the open water. His nephew, Rodney Bambary, also a seasoned waterman, lines up the oxygen tanks and gives us the low-down.

Visibility will be rotten, he tells us, two feet maximum. If we intend to stick with our buddy—an essential tenet of scuba diving—we had better lock arms on the surface. To find oysters, he says, we’ll need to use our hands for eyes, running our fingers across the muck until we feel a small, sharp protrusion. Because we’ll be throwing back any catch under three inches (per DNR regulations), Rodney shows us how to use our palm as a ruler. Most importantly, if we begin to shiver while underwater, we are to surface immediately. Nothing ruins a dive like hypothermia.

“Anybody get seasick?” he yells over the growl of the motor.

Jeff squeezes my hand. I say nothing.

The truth is I was born without sea legs, but it seems silly to complain about that now. After all, I paid to be

out here. Professional oyster divers like Shane have been conquering seasickness, frostbite, and unpredictable water quality for decades.

Commercial oyster diving has been legal in Maryland since 1973, and while most watermen use tongs or dredges, a hardy few continue to dive.

In 2018, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources reported that nearly 13 percent of the oyster harvest was gathered by hand. Though physically demanding, oyster diving does have its advantages: greater access, less bycatch and a gentler impact on the Bay’s delicate ecosystem.

A diver from Columbia is the first in the water. Before he descends he turns back to the boat to describe— with a wild smile and smattering of expletives—just how cold it is.

When it’s my turn to roll backwards from starboard, I confirm

the water is cold in a way that only expletives can capture.

I manage to make my limbs work long enough to lock elbows with Jeff, who, like it or not, will be staying with me down there. Together we deflate our vests and a few seconds later, our fins touch bottom.

Visibility is not two feet. It might not be two inches. But we find a rhythm.

I keep the flashlight trained on Jeff’s gloves as his hands work gently thought the muck. He gives my arm a tug when he’s got an oyster and I open our mesh sack for him to deposit it.

We move together in unison, but the dark water and rough current are disorienting; we mostly swim in circles.

In all, we harvest seven oysters.

Six of them are large enough to keep.

Luckily, our party are more experienced and much better oyster

divers than we are and generously share their haul with us. We go home with a cooler-full, enough to share with friends and neighbors.

But for me, the dive is less for the oyster roast we’ll have later and more for gaining a deeper (figuratively and literally) understanding of the estuary.

And while the experience was cold and tough and slightly nauseating, we speed back to the marina laughing about how cold and tough and slightly nauseating it was.

On the way home to Baltimore, Jeff and I thaw out in a tired silence. I don’t have to look at him to know what he’s thinking, because I’m thinking it too.

This was the best idea.

Ashley Stimpson is a writer and adjunct professor at the University of Maryland University College.

IF YOU GO FIND AN OUTFITTER: We booked our trip through Columbia Scuba (columbiascuba.com), which currently offers two dives every autumn.

KNOW THE RULES: Your divemaster and captain should know DNR regulations, but it’s also a good idea to read up on where you can dive and what you can take home.

GEAR UP: You’ll need a mesh collection bag for your oysters.

Use no-cut gloves, as oysters can be sharp.

BRIG Navigator 610 A multifunctional RIB, sized for the Chesapeake Bay

by John Page Williams

V

COURTESY PHOTOS

isit any launch ramp on a European harbor on a pretty day and you will find many rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) between five and and 7.5 meters long (16.5-25 feet) like BRIG’s Navigator 610. Do these folks know something that we don’t here on the Chesapeake where boats that size are hardsided fiberglass? Well yes, most of us here think of RIBs as small tenders rather than full-sized family boats. We’re aware that law

enforcement, towing, and rescue agencies use them widely because their tubes make good built-in fenders for coming alongside, though it’s not widely understood that a more important reason is that RIBs are highly capable sea boats.

The other thing is— RIBs are light for their length and perform well with modest horsepower while requiring only mid-sized tow vehicles. In places where gasoline sells by the liter for nearly the price of a U.S. gallon,

u Check out the BRIG Navigator 610 at Sirocco Marine—siroccomarine.com.

efficiency counts even more.

Their high carrying-capacity and seaworthiness complement that efficiency.

So why don’t more families on the Bay run RIBs? One big issue has been expense.

Many larger RIBs are custom built because the builders focus on commercial and agency buyers. The other is ignorance of the technology that goes into the tubes, and the ability of builders and dealers to modify, repair, and even replace the tubes. The truth is that Hypalon tubes are tough as nails, and they provide tremendous buoyancy, and sophisticated adhesives allow capable shops to adapt the boats for a variety of uses.

The Navigator 610 has big, one-foot, eight-inch diameter tubes, which enabled the designer to specify a deep-V center hull for wave-cleaving, while the tubes absorb shock and damp spray as it comes down on a sea at speed. The result can be a softer ride than a conventional rigid hull provides. A transom deadrise as sharp as this Navigator’s 23 degrees would result in a tippy conventional hull, but in this case, the aft ends of the tubes just kiss the water at rest and provide stability.

They also assist the hull in climbing onto plane at low speeds.

In contrast to custom builders of institutional-grade RIBs, the BRIG brand brings reasonable prices to the boat market. The company has an interesting story. It was formed in the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union in a high-tech Ukrainian university town by a group of aeronautical engineers seeking to develop a new line of work. An understanding of fluid dynamics transfers well to water, and the company took off. Today, BRIG is the largest-selling brand of

RIB in Europe and Australia. In the U.S., the importer is Sirocco Marine, based in Florida but with a strong dealership BRIG in Annapolis.

First Beam: 7' 7" off is a comfortable ride in our Bay’s Draft: 10" often-choppy seas.

Any water that Available through comes aboard drains right out of the Sirocco Marine— self-bailing cockpit. At that length, it siroccomarine.com. bridged the crests of a typical short Chesapeake chop more easily than a shorter hull, though it is comparable in other respects like weight, power requirements, and price. The boat is rated for 150 horsepower, but the 90-hp is plenty for most uses, with good acceleration, outstanding fuel efficiency at 17- to 20-knots offering 6.9 nautical miles per gallon at 17.2 knots and a range of 198 nautical miles at 90-percent fuel capacity and the engine loafing along at 3,500- rpm, and a top speed of 33.5 knots at 5,800 rpm. For a little more top speed without adding weight, ask Sirocco Marine for a Honda 100, which is based on the same engine family.

The knock on RIBs is that the tubes take up more space than the hull sides on a conventional fiberglass rig. We measured the November/December 2019

The console has plenty of flat space for flush-mounting electronics (Sirocco rigs primarily with Simrad units) and adding features like glove boxes and tackle storage. Hydraulic steering is standard. The cushioned bow seat holds an anchor locker, and there’s a roller on the square bow with a jam cleat for the rode. The tube effectively offers a seat back for anyone sitting there, facing aft. The cushioned SeaDek nonskid between the two seats offers good footing. The console is set to the starboard side to provide comfortable fore and aft passage to port, but we found it easy to move from bow to stern on the

maintenance support. These boats are durable, but as with fiberglass, there are simple procedures to keep them in good shape for years. It is important to keep the boat clean with a quick freshwater washdown and scrub after a day on the water. Keep the boat covered as much as possible.

The Eastport Oyster Boys’ revolution continues

T

he ascension of the Eastport Oysters Boys began with a barrage of brussel sprouts fired from long-rifle muzzles aimed in the general direction of “Annapolis Proper” on Sunday, January 25, 1998. As part of this protest of the impending closure of the Spa Creek Bridge, which connects the highbrowed state capital to the lowly but historic maritime Horn Point Peninsula, the Oyster Boys assembled a rag-tag mix of horn players, drummers, singers, and whatnot to form the Eastport Chamberpot Orchestra.

Eastport merchants and community activists with tongues firmly in cheek, thereby formed the Maritime Republic of Eastport to have some fun and promote the fact that the place was still accessible by boat, open for business, and no longer connected to a hostile neighbor, an accusation the Annapolitans hardly acknowledged. The Republic quickly produced its own passports, currency, anthem, navy of sorts, militia, canine corps of engineers, and a battle flag emblazoned with a coat of arms flanked by Labrador retrievers and the motto, “WE LIKE IT THIS WAY.” In May, the Eastport Navy, consisting of 34 skiffs and deadrise boats, circled Annapolis Harbor blowing horns and firing off signal cannons, and invaded the Annapolis Waterfront, renamed the harbor (the Gulf of Eastport), adjourned to a tavern, and declared victory—a crushing defeat that Annapolis has never acknowledged, or perhaps noticed. With all that, the Eastport Oyster Boys became the de facto musical voice of a movement.

Kevin Brooks

The Oyster Boys had been an ensemble since 1995, begun as a duo by staunch Chesapeake Bay conservationists, mariners, and rabble-rousers Kevin Brooks and Jeff Holland. Brooks brought the showmanship, humor, and song-writing he’d developed over some three decades on the professional folk, bluegrass, and Irish music circuit—notably at the famous Marmaduke’s Pub in Eastport, the Kennedy Center, and The King of France Tavern. He spent some time backing up a crooner named Martin O’Malley before he crooned his way into a primary role as Maryland’s Governor.

Brooks’ day job was in the non-profit sector, and that’s not a joke on the gigging-musician business model. He’s had a robust executive-level career and continues to consult various environmental and community development organizations.

Holland brought a similar set of skills, along with his ukulele, while handling public relations for the Annapolis Boat Shows and freelance writing for various outlets, including Chesapeake Bay Magazine. He had a band, Crab Alley, playing original and traditional Chesapeake Bay and other seafaring songs. Brooks filled in as bass player in the band’s waning days, and a creative partnership developed. Holland had a solo gig on the Schooner Woodwind cruises out of Annapolis. Brooks soon came aboard, and they chose the name.

For larger venues, the band drew in a “cadre of musical misfits, mostly from the boating industry,” Brooks recalls, for shows around the peninsula to spread the Chesapeake vibe and, with the Eastport rebellion, they naturally became the community’s signature band.

Now, nearly 25 years later, Brooks notes, “It’s has never been a one- or two-man show. It’s been a team effort from the beginning, of recognizing, adapting, and using talents that are in our toolbox. That’s what worked.”

Everybody sings, tells jokes, laughs, and does whatever comes to mind. Often, there’s a guest musician or two sitting in—drummer, bass player (Pete Miller), tuba-player, or what have you. The music is organic, homegrown, pertinent, and it covers the gamut—boogie, island, Celtic, swing, chanteys, rock & roll, gospel, and Americana. And it works, judging by the festive herds who show up to dance and sing along, knowing every lyric. “The range of our music reflects the diversity of Chesapeake culture, its character and its characters,” says Brooks.

Over the years, the line-up has distilled into a core of four like-minded musicians—Tom Guay (fiddle, guitar, hammer dulcimer), Mike Lange (keyboards, melodica, ukulele), Andy Fegley (trombone, percussion, guitar), and Brooks (guitar and banjitar). Holland left the show in 2010.

under the Arundel Rivers umbrella. Guay grew up along the Bay and worked as a journalist inside the Capital Beltway before returning to the Annapolis area to play more music and write. He wrote a historical maritime novel and is now the program officer of the oldest river protection group in the country, the Severn River Association (1911). Fegley comes from a long line of Chesapeake Bay mariners and is considered a marine electrical wizard with his company Yacht Electronics Systems in Annapolis. He was a sparkplug of the 1998 revolutionary Eastport Chamberpot Orchestra while playing in the renowned Bay Winds Concert Band and other traditional swing bands. “The unique instrumentation and that we do originals makes this a lot more fun,” he says. “Somebody comes up with an idea for a song, and we all sit down and make it what it is. We can do a whole show without playing a cover, if you’re looking for a cover-band, don’t hire us.”

Mike Lange comes from the Bay region and is a software engineer by day. “This gives me the opportunity to write songs about the things I love and care about, and hang out with my friends,” he says. Brooks refers to him as the soul of the band, “the most intuitive and caring guy you will ever meet.”

Meanwhile, “Andy Fegley is our Energizer Bunny. You wind him up and let him go,” Brooks says. “Tom Guay is the spirit of the band. I’ve played with him since 1974.”

The band’s defining song has to be A Good Hat, A Good Dog, A Good Boat, penned by Brooks and Holland in the beginning to capture the essence of Chesapeake and Eastport lifestyle. The lyrics takes advice from a long-lost Chesapeake sailor, we presume, about what is essential for a good Chesapeake life.

“Now you Boy’s you listen to me, all you need is just these three…”

“A good hat will keep you cool…a good dog will stick with you through thick and thin…a good boat…will take you near and far, and when you’re there, that’s where you are.”

Most of the material speaks to how the Chesapeake Bay defines us. Brooks sounds a bit like a non-profit consultant for a moment when he says, “The mission of the Oyster Boys is to celebrate the Bay and our home waters, our culture and characters. We all share a responsibility to preserve this national treasure. For the Oyster Boys, it’s all about stewardship and having fun while doing it.”

Three CDs, Bay-oriented musical collaborations, and their raucous humor have brought them accolades and opportunities to travel. They’ve played tours in Ireland, November/December 2019

Nova Scotia, Estonia, and the Keys. They appear at Woodstock each year for a two-day event; but not that Woodstock. This is Woodstock, Virginia’s Bay Days at the Woodstock Café. During the winter, Brooks and Guay handle musical duty as the Eastport Oyster Boys Duo presenting a Musical History Tour of the Bay onboard the American Cruise Lines Chesapeake tours.

In 2008, Annapolis Mayor Ellen Moyer dubbed the band “Annapolis musical goodwill ambassadors,” even though no such proclamation had ever been officially instituted. In 2014, Mayor Josh Cohen made it official and the moniker has stuck. Last year, Mayor Gavin Buckley updated the proclamation. The Annapolis Symphony Orchestra and the ASO String Ensemble have partnered with the band as co-performers in a series of special Chesapeake-themed concerts held annually at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts. Altogether, the boys are doing more than 55 shows this year, almost half of their appearances are shows in support of causes that

48 ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

serve the Chesapeake Bay conservation and appreciation missions. They are gearing up to record a slate of new songs this winter.

They all compose and write, and the collaboration has spawned delightful material such as Tom Guay’s ode to National Bohemian, “Hot Crabs Cold Beer” and another beer-themed lament, Langes’ “No Beer in Tangier.”

Lange recently composed “Rise Up,” a somber and deeply inspirational tribute to the survivors and victims of the brutal 2018 murders of five Capital Gazette employees—Wendi Winters, Rebecca Smith, Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, and John McNamara—which the band presented with the Annapolis Symphony String Ensemble at Maryland Hall on an evening of support for the community. “Writing this song was a form of therapy. I was sitting on my boat in Knapps Narrows a week and half after it happened, and the song just happened there,” he recalls. “I just wanted to do something, a tribute, something to show support.”

They are mainstay performers at the Annapolis Maritime Museum, Bayside festivals, concert venues such as the Avalon Theater, private events, Boatyard Bar & Grill gatherings, and you might find them at Eastport’s venerable dive, Davis Pub, enjoying the classic seven-course Eastport Oyster Boy feast—a crab cake and a six-pack of Natty Boh.h Former sailmaker, boatbuilder, banjo player, filmmaker, fly-fishing guide, and whatever Joe Evans is CBM’s editor in chief.

RESTORING

Mobjack

BY LARRY CHOWNING

An 80-foot Virginia buyboat finds new life in aquaculture.

THE BEGINNING Guinea Neck in Gloucester County is a peninsula tucked between the southwest branch of the Severn River, Mobjack Bay, and Sarah Creek on the York River. The boundaries are such that exactly where Guinea starts and stops depends on who you talk to.

Like Tangier and Smith Island watermen, Guinea’s commercial fishermen have a reputation for competence and independence. Richard Green, 74, recalls the days in the 1950s when the largest oyster boats on the Bay home-ported on Perrin Creek in Guinea. During the oyster planting seasons, the boats, loaded with mountains of oysters, regularly spent weekends moored at the public dock. While captains and mates were home, these unattended oyster boats became playgrounds. The boys raced to the top of the mounded oysters; sat in the helmsman’s seat with hands on the wheel of the 100-foot-long oyster buyboat Fisherman; and dreamed of being part of the working life on the boats.

Many captains of these giant buyboats were from Gloucester and Mathews counties. Jimmy Jones Belvin was the captain of the Fisherman, Luther Jenkins captained the Ocean View, and George Carmine the Mobjack, all from Guinea Neck. Morris Snow of Mathews County captained the mighty Chesapeake, which was over 100 feet long.

“What a sight it was when those boats were lined up with seed oysters mounded to what seemed like up to the sky,” said Green. “They looked like ships to us. When a 38-foot deadrise went by, it looked like a skiff up against those big boats.”

When he was 14 years old and sitting on the stern of Ocean View, Green told Captain Jenkins confidently that he would own the boat someday.

“My dream came true,” he said as he sat on the monkey rail of Mobjack at his dock in Perrin. “I own the Ocean View and I don’t know what I’m going to do with her.”

Much has changed since the 1950s when Virginia’s oyster business supported these giant vessels. Oyster diseases (MSX and dermo), hurricanes, over-fishing, and the loss of oyster habitat due to siltation and other factors brought Virginia’s oyster economy to its knees and left these giant boats without work.

The buyboat Chesapeake caught fire and sank in the Atlantic while ocean clamming. The Fisherman was abandoned and eventually hauled out into the Atlantic and sunk. Ocean View went to New Jersey to work in the clam

and oyster fisheries, returning to the Bay in 2012, its wooden decks and hull encased in rusty steel. The Mobjack struggled, but fared better than the rest. She stayed on the Bay, and consecutive owners did all they could to keep her functional, or at least floating, for the next owner.

Five years ago, Mobjack went up for sale, and the timing was good, as Virginia’s oyster fishery was making a comeback. Green leases 2,000 acres of oyster ground on the James and York Rivers, and needed a boat like the Mobjack that could carry 3,000 bushels of seed oysters.

Mobjack could handle the work, but not without a major rebuild. The cost factor of rebuilding portions of an 80-foot wooden boat meant Green had

November/December 2019

to do most of the work himself with a few hired hands when necessary. Mobjack was in bad shape. Her keel, side and bottom planks, structural floor timbers, and the house and pilothouse were salvageable. The rest needed to be replaced with new wood.

BOATBUILDING HERITAGE Green learned boatbuilding from his father and uncles. His father, Herman, built 28- to 30-foot deadrise workboats, and his uncle Melvin built flat-bottom and deadrise skiffs. Herman’s mother, Martha Ellen was sister to Frank Smith, who built 80-foot ocean trawlers and 65-foot buyboats boats at his boatyard, across from where Mobjack and Ocean View are moored today.

“My father built and rebuilt a lot of boats and I learned boatbuilding skills by hanging around my father and my uncle’s railway. Walter Brown also had a little railway on the creek where I was always welcome,” said Green. “I paid attention to the way those old-time builders built and repaired the boats, and that paid off when it came time for me to rebuild the Mobjack.”

Before taking on Mobjack, Green had built one boat. He launched the 50-foot God’s Grace in 2000 to work his oyster grounds. “She is the only one I ever built, but I think I did a good job,” he said. “She has been worked hard but has held up well.”

OYSTER BUSINESS

LARRY CHOWNING

Green learned about the oyster business from his brother, Edward, who has since passed away. Green worked at and retired from the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth where he was a firemen at the shipyard’s fire station. Edward had carried on the family tradition of working the water and on days when Green was off work, he went with his brother and culled oysters. Edward hand tonged oysters in the York and James Rivers and sold his catch to oyster buyboats working those rivers.

The brothers worked the public oyster rocks on the two rivers but also explored areas no longer productive.

This would eventually lead to the 2,000 acres of oyster rock that Green now leases from the state.

“We poked around looking for hard bottom to grow oysters on.

When we found good bottom, I would check with Virginia Marine Resources Commission to see if the bottom was leased. If it wasn’t and it was good bottom, I would lease it.”

Virginia’s oyster harvest plummeted from four million bushels in the 1958-59 oyster season to 20,250 bushels in the 1997-98 season. As the business declined, Green speculated it would come back and he kept leasing oyster bottom. He was also able to buy up some of the better private oyster grounds on the James River from long-time planters who saw little future in hanging on to the bottom.

“You have got to be a gambler to be an oysterman,” said Green. “I figured if oysters came back and I had plenty of oyster ground, I would be in a good business position. No one had ever seen a slump like we saw in 1998, but there had been slumps before and oysters had always come back. I figured they would come back eventually.”

Several years ago, oysters began to rebound in Virginia waters. It was nothing like the days of four million bushels, but it rebounded to 635,164 in 2015-16 and over 500,000 bushels annually since. Five years ago, Green bought the Mobjack in an effort to further position himself if the business continued to rebound.

Ocean View then and now.

MOBJACK & OCEAN VIEW Mobjack is Coast Guard listed at 72.2’ x 24.6’ x 5.5’. The 72.2 feet is the keel length. She is over 80 feet long from stem-to-stern and is one of fewer than a dozen twentieth century buyboats built on the Bay over 80feet long. There were hundreds of these boats built in the 55- to 65-foot range used to buy seafood and haul oysters, seed, and shell, but there were only a few really big ones. The reason, in part, was that at the turn of the twentieth century there was an abundance of large sailing vessels ideal for conversion to power. Many of these boats were over 80 feet long.

Early on, it was more economical to

54 ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

November/December 2019

convert large sailboats to power than to build big deadrise boats.

Over time, this changed. Mobjack was built in 1946 and Ocean View in 1949 by boatbuilders Linwood and Milford Price on Broad Creek in Deltaville for J. H. Miles Co. in Norfolk.

Miles was one of the largest oyster packing companies on Virginia’s lower bay. The firm leased nearly 8,000 acres of private oyster rock from the state, and its Norfolk shucking house had over 200 shuckers working during the oyster season. The firm grew, harvested, and processed thousands of bushels

of oysters annually. “When oysters were good, the Miles family was like the coal barons. They were the Bay’s oyster barons,” said Green.

Mobjack and Ocean View were built at the end of World War II when the country was gearing up for an economic revival. Miles and other seafood dealers were optimistic the oyster business would take off again.

The Miles family had been in the seafood business since before the turn of the twentieth century. They had seen ups and downs in the Bay’s oyster fishery. Business was always slow during wartime. With World War II over, the company gambled that

things would be good again, and part of that gamble was to build Mobjack and her sister-ship, Ocean View.

Company officials knew exactly what they needed in a boat to work the shallow oyster grounds being leased on Mobjack Bay and the York and James Rivers. They also knew that boatbuilder Lin Price was an experienced boatbuilder and capable of building large, shallow draft, deadrise and cross-planked boats. Price had built the Marydel, the largest buyboat ever constructed on the Bay in 1927. She was over 100 feet long and built for the W. E. Valliant Co. of Delaware. The yard

November/December 2019

was well-equipped to build two 80-foot buyboats. The question was, could Price build an 80-foot boat, with 25 feet of beam, and five feet or so of draft that would hold 3,000 bushels of seed oysters?

In 1945, Miles hired naval architect and engineer Carl T. Forsberg of Freeport Long Island to design the flattest deadrise-bottom boat ever built on an 80-foot wooden buyboat. He was able to design the Mobjack and Ocean View with 5.5 feet of draft. “When the Mobjack came up for sale I knew she was exactly what I needed,” said Green.

“I just wasn’t sure how much more life she still had in her. I was working some of the same shallow oyster grounds Mobjack and Ocean View had worked in the 1950s and 60s. The boats were built specifically to work some of the grounds I was leasing.”

THE FUTURE “It is great to see the business come

e odW1010 C e C $ 20 Us AGI ve 1/1/ a h SN d Shroug

anvalid t

back, but it is risky business,” said Green. “MSX and dermo killed millions of oysters and put almost everyone out of business. Oysters have come back though, with a lot of help from Virginia Institute of Marine Science and their work with diseaseresistant oysters.”

“Right after Hurricane Hazel [in 1954] we couldn’t find enough oysters on James or York Rivers to make a bowl of oyster soup, but oysters came back, and the 1958-59 season was great.

“I have a lot of grounds where freshwater causes problems,” he said.

“Oysters cannot stand but so much freshwater. Years when we have a lot of rain, I lost a lot of oysters. You just have to figure there are going to be good years and bad.”

Green figured there would be enough good years to justify rebuilding Mobjack and to buy Ocean View. He bought the Ocean View in 2012 from Bunky Chance of Talbot

County, who had found the boat laid up in a shallow gut near Port Norris, New Jersey, and brought her back to the Chesapeake. He used her for a while planting seed and shells in the Maryland Department of Natural Resources’ Habitat Oyster Restoration project.

Asked about the future of the Ocean View, Green was silent for a moment, and then he said, “I don’t know. There was more rotten wood in the Mobjack when I started her than is in the Ocean View. She can be saved,” the 74-year-old said. “I kept my promise to Captain Jenkins that I would own her one day, but I’m not sure I’ve got enough time to bring her back to what she was when I was a boy.” h A longtime Chesapeake Bay writer from Urbanna, Va., Larry Chowning has authored nine books, including Deadrise and Crossplanked and Chesapeake Buyboats, definitive histories of iconic Chesapeake Bay vessels.

o visit Charlie and C.J. Fegan’s taxidermy studio in Edgewater is to wander into Mother Nature’s body shop. Wild animals in various states of repair and reassembly fill the second-floor space where father and son work.

In no particular order there are: seven mounted deer heads ready for pickup, a row of tanned fox pelts, two rare paradise shelducks from New Zealand rehydrating in the sink, an immense road-killed beaver recovering from nasal reconstruction, and a pair of canvasbacks whose formaldehyde-injected feet are push-pinned onto their permanent resting place, a faux log. The creepy, fist-sized tarantula lurking in a shadowbox is someone else’s work.

Located above the business’s showroom, the airy studio is part operating theater, part workshop, and part trophy gallery overseen by an array of vibrant, glassygazed spectators of the Fegans’ creation. The ambience falls somewhere between fascinating and slightly surreal.

Charlie cleans a duck carcass while a nearly six-foot black bear on its hind legs looms behind him. Son C.J. smoothes a deer hide—a young hunter’s first kill—into calfskin-like suppleness, as a red fox eyes him quizzically from across the room. Two fully sentient animals, the Fegans’ playful black lab Drake and a snoozing cat, take this all in stride.

It’s mid-August. Archery deer season begins in three weeks, duck hunting in two months, and the Fegans are still working on last year’s orders, a logjam common among taxidermists. They already have a 12-month backlog of critters chilling on the premises. “We’ve got fourteen freezers and they’re all full,” Charlie says. “And we stopped taking work three or four months ago.”

Waterfowling, deer hunting, upland game bird shooting, sportfishing—they’re as indigenous to the Chesapeake as blue crabs and skipjacks. So is the practice of preserving hunting and fishing quarry for posterity.

The Fegans’ bread-and-butter are ducks (Charlie’s specialty) and deer (C.J.’s). Both animals are mainstays for the region’s hundreds of licensed commercial taxidermists.

According to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Maryland hunters bagged more than 77,000 deer during last year’s archery, firearms, and muzzleloader seasons. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which monitors migratory bird harvests, estimated that hunters killed about 120,000 ducks and nearly 186,000 geese during the 2017-2018 season in Maryland. An unknown percentage of those become prideful décor for fireplace mantels, trophy walls, dens, and basements.

Taxidermy is an art form wrapped in a riddle: It attempts to remake the lifeless into a convincingly lifelike version of the deceased’s former self. Practitioners do so with a scarcity of original material; the animal’s skin and, at most, a few appendages like antlers are reused. The rest—the body, neck, limbs, and unrecyclable bits like eyes, ears, noses, lips and tongues—have to be made, using either prefabricated or hand-crafted parts.

Once the major body elements have been made and assembled, the taxidermist reattaches (mounts) skin that’s been carefully cleaned, stretching it over the animal’s new artificial substructure (called a form or manikin) and then sewing it up with ordinary thread or fishing line. “Stuffing” is archaic terminology, referencing the days when taxidermists simply took a hide and smooshed it full of rags, cotton or whatever until it bore a lumpy resemblance to the animal in question.

Modern taxidermy’s artistry lies in the detailing. Bullet holes and other skin tears require careful repair. Seams must be minimized. Noses need to be textured and tails fluffed.

Most of all, the animal has to look authentic. A hunter will notice if his canvasback drake has brown eyes (the female’s color) instead of red, or a deer’s ears look like they belong on a donkey. Realism is the taxidermist’s mantra.

“When you start out with a duck that’s dead and, at the end of the day, it looks alive, that’s total satisfaction,” says Charlie Fegan, who’s spent 40 years in the business. “That’s what it’s all about. That’s why I do what I do.”

Taxidermy’s merits rest in the eye of the beholder.

Where detractors see dead things awkwardly revived, enthusiasts see life artfully immortalized. Most taxidermists are hunters, so they’re restoring animals whose appearance, anatomy, movements, and habitat they’ve studied in the field, often since childhood.

Ronnie Newcomb, a longtime taxidermist from Dorchester County, has hunted birds since he first tagged along with his grandfather 60-plus years ago. He possesses a Wikipedic knowledge of waterfowling and taxidermy, and he collects the vintage paraphernalia of his twin passions.

“Taxidermy is pretty challenging—more than you

realize—because you’ve got to put a lot of things back together somebody’s pretty much destroyed, or somewhat destroyed, because they had to be shot,” he says. “Where your real artistic work comes in is making that all come back together so it looks like it’s alive. It comes from years and years of practice and constantly studying and observing birds and waterfowl.”

Raised in Golden Hill, Newcomb became enthralled with taxidermy for reasons that, even now, he can’t put his finger on. “Once it was in my blood, it was in my blood. I don’t know what else to say about it.”

At age nine, he began working with the late Harold Hall, an acclaimed Eastern Shore taxidermist who taught Newcomb traditional techniques he learned on Hooper’s

62 ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

November/December 2019

Island from his taxidermist father. In a 1985 interview in Field & Stream, Hall compared taxidermy to watermen’s work: “You got to be born up to it to be any good.” Hall gave Newcomb a taxidermist’s upbringing. “I spent all the time I could with Mister Hall. He was almost like a father to me.”

Under his tutelage, Newcomb worked his way through various skill sets: making plaster of paris molds for heads; skinning deer hooves for novelty gun racks and table lamps; stuffing snapping turtles and big-bellied frogs; and finally mounting waterfowl and, before they were legally protected, hawks and owls.

“You learn it that way, little by little, instead of taking a crash course and thinking you’re a taxidermist,” he says. “It doesn’t work that way.” Although he never tried to make a

living mounting birds (he was a lineman for Delmarva Power until retirement), Newcomb’s impeccably restored waterfowl grace private homes, hunting lodges, and nature centers.

Like Newcomb, Charlie Fegan is a lifelong waterfowl and deer hunter who took up taxidermy early. Having worked as a teenager with his waterman father, he gave up commercial fishing and the chance for a college degree to learn the trade from a man who suffered novices grudgingly.

“The first day he made me work outside in the snow on a rotten goat,” Charlie recalls. After three salary-free months, he was hired. He eventually inherited his boss’s clients, mounted his first deer head in his mother’s kitchen, grew the business and acquired a partner 10 years ago when C.J.

Before you know it, I’m mounting tigers.” In 2003, C.J. appeared on the nationally televised AMC series “Immortalized,” a taxidermy smackdown in which he won his match with a purgatoryesque, multi-animal mount called “Judgment Day.”

Young taxidermists like C.J. are nudging the envelope of a craft that dates to the 18th century. According to the word’s Greek derivation, taxidermists are “arrangers of skin.” Their early efforts— unnatural, stuffed pieces—fell considerably short of today’s realistic mounts. As naturalists collected field specimens for museums in the 1800s and taxidermy dioramas became chic Victorian decor, the practice evolved. American Carl Akeley ushered in the age of similitude by creating sculpted molds to produce anatomically accurate specimens for New York’s American Museum of Natural History in the early 1900s.

Modern taxidermy has replaced Akeley’s plaster-of-paris and papier-mâché molds with professionally sculpted, prefabricated forms (whole-body or component parts) made of lightweight polyurethane foam. Supply catalogues offer a staggering selection of bodies, anatomical accessories (eyes, noses, ears) and even prefab habitat.

Need a life-size gray fox form? One popular catalogue carries three-dozen poses, including sitting, standing, running, pouncing, walking uphill, even scratching an ear.

Want a realistic setting for your fox? You can order a nice faux woodland branch or rock-and-stump base.

Newcomb still uses the old-school methods he was taught, building his forms essentially from scratch. He LEFT TO RIGHT: C.J. Fegan specializes in deer; The Fegans’ showroom; C.J.’s reality show-winning sculpture, “Judgement Day”

makes his bird bodies out of wood wool, finely shredded slivers of wood called excelsior, more often used as packing material and erosion control mats. Working with his hands, he shapes a duck out of wood wool and then wraps his creation—mummy like—over and over with string to hold it together.

“You have to keep wrapping it and get it nice and tight,” he says. “Once you get this form done, you have to put a wire in through the body and make the neck for it,” again using wood wool and string. When he’s ready to mount the duck or goose, he reuses nature-made parts. “I use the whole bird—legs, the bill, the skull—all that has to be cleaned and put back into place,” he says.

By using prefab forms, taxidermists can invest their time perfecting a mount to accommodate clients’ growing demand for realistic, frozen-in-motion poses. When no suitably posed forms exist, they modify stock or pour new molds, either of which can add days to a project. Take the Fegans’ standing bear mount. Charlie and C.J. spent weeks cutting and repositioning—extending the torso, moving one shoulder, turning a wrist—so the bear hugs a tree trunk.

Custom work comes at a price, Charlie says. “It’s $3,500 for the bear and an extra $1,000 for the alterations, and then a mouth open is $250.”

The bear grips a rigid foam tree whose texture and color can pass for real wood. Prefab bases not only lessen a taxidermist’s workload, they’re also lightweight,

durable and don’t harbor bugs, the scourge of taxidermy.

“Bugs are bad business,” Charlie says. “That’s the worst thing in the world you can have in our business.” Enemy number one is the dermisted beetle (a.k.a. skin beetle), a common household pest whose extended family members devour everything from animal hides to carpet fibers to the feathers on Uncle Roy’s shoddily mounted wild turkey.

Bug prevention begins with a thorough cleaning of the skin and feathers to remove blood and body oils (the Fegans use Dawn detergent and Snuggle fabric softener). It ramps up at the “fleshing” stage, when taxidermists use knives, scalpels, scissors, and a soft-bristled, motorized grinding brush to remove every speck of meat and fat from the mount’s skin. Allow bugs to take up residence in, for example, feather tracts—the dimpled area of the skin where feathers grow—and they’ll nibble away until the wing eventually falls apart. Dermisted deterrence is the reason most taxidermists don’t use real skulls—too hard to remove meat from their tiny crevices. “I’ve seen million-dollar game rooms that are three-quarters destroyed by these bugs,” Charlie says of skin beetles.

Fish taxidermy—at least the modern, prevalent version—doesn’t bother about bugs because most mounts are replicas, detailed fiberglass recreations of the fish from jaw to tailfin. Old-style fish taxidermy (called skin mounts) preserves the fish’s exterior, but its natural colors disappear when the skin dries. Taxidermists must then reapply them to

the fish’s inherently greasy, hard-to-paint canvas.

Taxidermist Bruce Foster is a former charterboat captain who’s guided the likes of then-president George H.W. Bush. When he mounts a trophy fish these days, he uses only fiberglass. “I didn’t like seeing all these big fish killed, so I stopped doing skin mounts and started molding the fish,” he says. Fish taxidermists coat the original specimen—say a striped bass or a marlin—in fiberglass resin to make a two-piece, reusable mold. “What you pop out is the exact replica of that fish in fiberglass,” Foster says.

“Once I built up a collection of molds, I could reproduce hundreds of fish so people didn’t have to kill them.”

Customers supply their fish’s measurements and he selects a mold to match its size and desired swimming direction.

Each fiberglass replica has to be hand-painted to capture every color and shimmer on the fish, including nuanced hues like the silvery iridescence of a rockfish’s underbelly. “That’s why a lot of people don’t get into fish,” Foster says. “I was a flat artist, so color and painting came natural to me.” He improvises where necessary. “I use a lot of women’s makeup. The rosy, cheek-color stuff is perfect to put over fleshy areas around a fish’s mouth. It enhances the paint and gives it depth.”

At his studio on Kent Island, Foster also mounts ducks, geese, deer, and exotic game animals. (He was working on a life-sized musk ox last fall.) Just don’t call him a wildlife artist. “Just because you’re working with dead animals November/December 2019

doesn’t make you an artist,” he says. “I’m not trying to re-create God’s work. I’m doing my job to the best of my ability, trying to make one singular piece—a bird, a fish, whatevever—to please a customer and make the animal look as good as possible.”

Paul Rhymer, former staff taxidermist for the Smithsonian Institution, transitioned from taxidermy to wildlife sculpture for a living, but he sees the two as intertwined. “I like to continue doing taxidermy because, as a wildlife sculptor, I like having my hands in animals all the time.” When he sculpts a bobcat or casts a wild turkey in bronze at his studio near Frederick, Md., “It just reminds me of what I’m doing.”

Rhymer’s father and grandfather were Smithsonian taxidermists, and Paul presided over one of the institution’s last major taxidermy projects, the mounting of 274 animals for the Museum of Natural History’s Mammal Hall, which opened in 2003. Seven years later, he retired as the Smithsonian’s last official taxidermist. He still does contract work, often partnering with a friend on repair jobs like re-waxing the skin on the Natural History Museum’s famous elephant and restoring Stonewall Jackson’s stuffed steed Little Sorrel for the Virginia Military Institute.

Museum taxidermy is waning, Rhymer says, but overall, he sees the trade thriving. “Commercial taxidermy for sportsmen has gotten so good and so sophisticated. In the old days, the best taxidermists were museum taxidermists. The best taxidermists are doing commercial work now.” And the very best commercial work, he says, is not just technically accurate, but artful too. “At lot of

taxidermists are so keyed in on symmetry because they’re trying to make [the mount] technically and anatomically correct.

They let that stuff overwhelm and kill the naturalness of a piece.

Where’s that little expression that gives you the sense that there’s a bit of life there? Where’s the imbalance that gives you the feel of motion?”

Expression and motion surround a visitor in the Fegans’ first-floor showroom, where a Kodiak bear balances on the balls of its hind feet and the animals in C.J.’s apocalyptic “Judgment Day” flee in palpable fear. The room’s most tranquil mount is an elegant mute swan. It swims in a Plexiglas shell by the door, awaiting a special calling only a taxidermist could conjure.

“That’s the swan my ashes are going to go in,” Charlie says, as if deceased waterfowl were a perfectly ordinary eternal resting place. He wants half his remains scattered on South River, where he fished with his father, and the other half stored in the bird, which will be installed in the Fegan family home. He’s named his creation for its purpose and, in a way, his profession: “Swan Song.” h Maryland native and award-winning contributor Marty LeGrand writes about nature, the environment, and Chesapeake history.

This doesn’t bode well.

It’s Raining Apps Let’s talk about the boating weather information you need and the best ways to get it.

by Capt. Jody Argo Schroath

A

s I write this, Hurricane Dorian has been spinning slowly up the Atlantic Coast for a week, throwing off rain bands like a colossal Fourth of July sparkler, and I have been glued to the Weather Channel. I can’t help myself. It’s like watching a slow-motion accident commentated by people testing the limits of their Lands End rain jackets. It’s simultaneously terrible and slightly absurd.

Which brings me to marine weather apps and websites, which is what this column is about, not that the subject is either terrible or fascinating, but it is important. Many boaters depend solely on the weather forecast from their local radio and TV stations, or from popular weather apps like wunderground.com and weather.com. Those are fine, and offer a good overview, but they don’t address the conditions out on the water, or even close to shore. For example, a 10-mph wind in downtown Baltimore may very well be a 15- to 20-knot wind east of the Key Bridge. That’s why it’s essential that you get actual NOAA marine weather forecasts.

But that’s not all. Before you set out, you should also be sure to check the tides and currents. Why? When the wind is blowing from one direction and the

76

ChesapeakeBayMagazine.com

November/December 2019

current is running from the other, the two can create a chop twice as high as that one- to two-feet predicted in the NOAA forecast. It’s a simple thing to check, and it can make the difference between a fun family outing and miserable bouncy ordeal. If you want all of your family to enjoy boating, check the wind vs. current every time. It may just mean a delay of an hour or two while the current changes.

Wait, there’s more. Let’s say you did your job, checked the forecast and the currents, and are now out on the South River, towing the kids on that unnaturally big pink swan you recently purchased. Everyone is having a glorious time. Suddenly you become aware of a line of cumulonimbus clouds as big and menacing as Bruce Banner on a bad day. Is it time to gather your flock about you and head back to port? This is where you pull out your phone and flip on the radar app to see which way that storm is headed.

“Whoa,” you say, “that’s a lot to do just to have fun.” Not at all. Stick with me, and I’ll turn you all into little weather stations with a few of the best smartphone apps and internet sites.

Here are the criteria. First, I’m not going to give you anything that requires an expensive subscription to get the information. These apps are either free or at most a couple of dollars. Second, I like apps that do one thing and do it very well. If I want to check the radar for storms in the area, I want to open the app and have it show me the information immediately. The fewer steps I have to take to get what I want, the better. Some people like an app that will do everything, and a few of these apps will pretty much do that too. One more note.

This is not, of course, a definitive list.

You may find apps or websites that you prefer. Just consider this your starter-kit.

NOAA Marine Weather NOAA’s zone—Why is this so hard?

NOAA could hardly make its URL for getting zone forecasts more absurdly complicated: www.nws.noaa.gov/os/ marine/zone/east/lwxmz.htm for the Upper Bay and www.nws.noaa.gov/ os/marine/zone/east/akqmz.htm for the Lower Bay. That gets you a map of the zones, which you can click on to get to the marine forecast and discussion. If you leave the Bay, you have to start all over again.

are awkward and require too many clicks. Or they abbreviate the forecast.

the East category and the Lower Bay is under South. That’s the only slightly weird bit. Otherwise, it just gives you what you want—the NOAA zone forecast—and makes it easy to jump to nearby zones without going back to the index.

VHF Weather Radio is the most important, but also the most annoying way, to get your NOAA marine forecast.

You don’t need an internet connection, just a marine radio, whether a handheld or built-in set. Punch the WX button, dial in the strongest station, and be patient. Sooner or later you’ll get the forecast you’re looking for— ideally before that storm hits. Like NOAA’s website, surely there’s a better way of delivering this information. But it’s just, you see, they’ve always done it this way . . .

Boating Weather (iOS and Android) is the best app for NOAA

Marineweather is my go-to website,

jody’s log

long on this one. I happen to like Weather Underground, both the website and app, and I even pay the pittance to have the ads go away. It is straight forward, tells me when there are small craft warnings, and gives me the times of sunrise and sunset, and also first and last light, which is useful when cruising. Accuweather used to have a nice marine weather option, but that, alas, has been discontinued.

Wunderground also has a Scientific Discussion option, which gives NOAA’s detailed description of what’s coming up, some of which I almost understand. Both NOAA’s marine weather site and Marineweather.net also have this option for each zone.

Radar MyRadar NOAA Weather Pro (iOS)/MyRadar Weather Radar Ad Free (Android)—This is my favorite weather radar app. Open the app; get the radar. There are settings you can change, but the result is simple and straightforward. No future radar, just past and present. If you want a look at the highly uncertain future, try the Storm radar app, which will show previous conditions as well. If you want pretty, try Windy and set it for satellite.

Windy: Wind and Waves Forecast (ios)/Windy.app: Wind Forecast & Marine Weather (Android)—There are, oddly, two Windy apps, a blue one and a red one. The more useful is the red one. In addition to its lovely satellite view of the world, it also gives you a good picture of winds, waves, rain, lightening, clouds, weather fronts and so forth. You choose what you want, say winds, then click anywhere on the map. This produces a flag, which you can then move around to get the wind conditions in that spot. I’m not convinced that this is wholly accurate since it has to use existing monitoring information like buoys and forecasts,

but I haven’t made a practical study of it. If you want an app that does a lot of things, this is the one to have.

Tide and Currents AyeTides (iOS)—There are dozens of apps that promise tides and currents.

Many of them, in the end, mostly have tides. You need both for different reasons. How much scope you need to let out on your anchor is determined in part by the amount of tide in that location. How steep the chop will be out on the Bay is determined in part by the direction of the current versus the wind. I have used the AyeTides app for years. You can find both tides and currents easily by hitting Near Me, by looking at the map or by typing in a location. Also very important, if you turn your phone sideways, AyeTides also gives you the whole range, not just highs and low, floods and ebbs, so you can easily determine where you are on the cycle.

information. At the moment, the Chesapeake is fortunate enough to have eight. These are part of the excellent Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS). From the onset, this project has had to fight tooth and nail for continued funding. Admittedly these seasonal special buoys must be expensive to maintain because they monitor not only winds, currents, water temperature and the other usual information, but a host of water quality information as well. Best of all, to my mind, they give wave information— direction, height and period. And it’s all real-time. Terrific! The website and app are easy to use. And free. So, take a look. And next summer, you will able to see what’s actually happening out on the Bay before you venture out.

You’ll thank me.

NOAA Buoy and Tide Data (iOS and Android)—For years, buoy apps

Operational Forecast System (CBOFS) is a nifty service that will give you near real-time, as well as predicted and mathematically calculated water levels, current speed, tide rise, water temperature and salinity. The water level data is particularly helpful during king tides or after heavy rains when you want to see if you need to reset your dock lines. Not all of the locations in the forecast give you the same information, but you’ll often find it all useful. Here is the address for the map and pins. Click on the pins to get the information. tidesandcurrents.noaa. gov/ofs/cbofs/cbofs.html.

did not include the CBIBS buoys.

Perhaps it was an access problem.

Now several of them, including the BuoyData app, do. But they ALL leave out the wave information!

Why would they do that? That aside, I have recently downloaded about a half-dozen buoys apps in search of a really good one and I have yet to find it. I mention BuoyData because I think it does a little better job than the others. But for now, anyway, I’m going to stick with CBIBS. Having Annapolis, Gooses Reef, Stingray Point, Potomac, Jamestown, York Spit and First Landing gives you a broad range of options. When the Susquehanna and Patapsco come back online, perhaps next year, CBIBS will offer broad Bay coverage with really useful information.

Chesapeake Smart Buoys—There are very few buoys on inshore waters where you can get real-time wave

November/December 2019

If you run navigation apps such as Navionics, Garmin, and Aqua Map as well as many others on your phone or

smart tablet, you can get good tide and current information within the app. It’s not real-time, of course, but then neither are the tides and currents apps like Aye Tides. For real-time you need CBIBS or CBOFS. Haha, love those initials!

The Bottom Line So, what do you really need for safe and happy boating?

1.

A good way to get NOAA’s marine forecast for your zone.

2.

A good radar app to keep an eye on storms.

3.

The CBIBS app to see what’s really happening out there before you go.

Extra Credit I know this is old-school, but I love barometers. The idea is simple: If the barometer drops fast, you’ve got trouble coming fast, Skipper. Placing an actual barometer (Weems and Plath makes nice ones) someplace where you can keep an eye on it is ideal. Downloading a barometer app is a good alternative. Just make sure it has a set point, so you can see how much and how quickly it’s moving. I use a free one called Barometer from ExaMobile.

Biking at Blackwater

Bikes & Hikes Human-powered Bay trips.

by Captain Chris D. Dollar

H

unting, fishing, and boating make of the bulk of my time spent outdoors, and by extension this column. Hiking and biking in the Bay watershed may not fit the strictest definition of “Wild Chesapeake,” but both are worthy pursuits that I enjoy. With that in mind, dear reader, here’s my take on a few of the numerous places to bike and hike in Bay Country.

Eastern Shore Gems Flat roads and pristine areas rich with wildlife make the Delmarva Peninsula well-suited for bike rides and day hikes. Among the most popular with cyclists of every skill level is the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, less than 20 minutes from Cambridge and an easy day trip from most cities in the Bay region.

Back in the day, I biked the refuge’s roads while taking part in the Eagleman Triathlon. Trying to knock out 70 miles in the saddle and not keel over from exhaustion left little time to appreciate the more than 28,000 acres of marsh and forest with their abundant wildlife. As part of our national network of public lands, Blackwater’s visitors center provides maps detailing local roads and the bike trails.

Blackwater offers a four-mile and a seven-mile loop trail down Wildlife Drive ($1 per bike). Twenty- and twenty-seven mile routes are also an option on county-maintained roads.

The visitors center has plenty of parking, which makes it an ideal launching point for biking the loops. After the ride, check out the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center, located just down the road in Church Creek. I’ve been twice. It’s amazing.

Usually, when I’m traveling south along Route 13 towards Virginia, I’m headed to fish for spotted sea trout, red drum, or cobia, or to hunt ducks.

In-between outings, I may pedal the Southern Tip Bike & Hike Trail, located in southern Northampton County. The trail runs just under five miles from the Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge, past Kiptopeke State Park on a paved, 10-foot-wide, ADAcompliant trail. It is flat and weaves through woods and fields at an easy grade. The lower ESVA also has cool water trails—virginiawatertrails.org/ easternshore.

the Southern Tip Hike & Bike Trail as a regional planner at the AccomackNorthampton Planning District Commission.

“My favorites hikes are our Nature Area Preserves—Brownsville, Cape Charles and Savage Neck Dunes. All have walks of varying distances that take you through some great local landscapes,” she said. “Savage Neck is especially rewarding as the trail is relatively short and takes you through several types of maritime ecosystems before opening to a near-private beach on the Chesapeake Bay.” This is a lovely area to explore, especially in the fall when most of the bugs are gone.

Glorious Shenandoah Valley The headwaters of both the James and Potomac rivers begin in the Shenandoah Valley. Combined, these rivers account for about 30 percent of

the freshwater entering Chesapeake Bay, so what happens upstream impacts on not only local water quality but Bay waters as well.

In a previous career I helped survey an unnamed feeder tributary to Christians Creek, which drains into the Shenandoah River. Using seine nets, we gently snared freshwater crayfish, a salamander, juvenile bream, and a northern sand shiner. We spotted a Baltimore oriole and a couple of different swallows, including the tree swallow, resplendent with its beautifully iridescent head.

Flora and fauna abound in the Shenandoah Valley, making it an awesome place to hike and bike. The forest of the adjacent National Park explodes with wild plants under an impressive canopy, and the region’s myriad streams run cold and clear. The fishing is good, too.

There are over 500 miles of hiking trails in the Shenandoah National Park, ranging from easy to moderately strenuous to very strenuous. The North District, from Front Royal to U.S. Rt. 21, is very popular with day hikers due to its proximity to Washington. Old Rag Mountain, located within the Central District of the park (U.S. Rt. 211 to U.S. Rt. 33), is one of the most popular and challenging hikes region. It’s a nine-mile scramble, and the park recommends allowing seven to eight hours and two quarts of water to complete the trip.

Old Rag is usually accessed from the Park’s boundary off Route 600. The Shenandoah National Park-managed parking lot accommodates about 265 vehicles, and parking is free, but there is a 7-day entrance fee for the park ranging from $15 for a walk-in or bicycling individual, $25 for a motorcycle, and $30 for a vehicle and passengers.

Along the Rapidan River, a tributary of the Rappahannock, sits Rapidan Camp, a historical site once called the “summer white house” of President Herbert Hoover. Trails from the Rapidan Camp area include Milam Gap, the Appalachian Trail to Tanners Ridge Road Hike, and the Mill Prong to Laurel Prong Loop Hike. Autumn is an ideal time to visit the natural splendor of the Shenandoah Valley. Weekdays are less crowded, of course.

Biking Fun in the Patapsco River Valley

That great modern thinker Ricky Bobby once opined, “If you ain’t first, you’re last.” It was in Patapsco Valley State Park, a 14,000-acre public recreation area just a short drive from D.C., Annapolis, and Baltimore where I tried to put that sage advice into practice.

On one of the park’s mountain bike trails, a friend and I engaged in an impromptu race. First, we pedaled uphill, testing each other out. On the drop, things escalated quickly, going from collegial to cutthroat. About two-thirds of the way down I endured my most epic fall on a mountain bike. I hit a root going way too fast and sailed tail over teakettle, all in a vain attempt to be first. And thus, I was last.

Patapsco Valley State Park attracts hardcore and even professional grade mountain bikers—including the Tour de Patapsco, a 53.7-mile ride for pros and semi-pros—but it is also well-suited to amateur bikers. Be you looking for a challenge or leisurely pedal, the park has trails to fit either skill level. Some feature steep climbs and fast descents (see above), technically challenging rock gardens, as well as hike-a-bike portage across the river. The Avalon/ Orange Grove and McKeldin trails feature single tracks that challenge advanced mountain bikers.

Many trails are well suited to the occasional cyclist, however. The park stretches for 32 miles on each side of

the Patapsco River, and features a myriad of hiking and biking trails with pavilions and restrooms, making it a great day-trip destination for families or those just looking to chill with nature.

Other great parks on my list include Tuckahoe State Park at Queen Anne, Maryland; First Landing State Park, Virginia Beach; and Elk Neck State Park, Northeast, Maryland. h Captain Chris Dollar is a licensed fishing guide, tackle shop owner, all-around Chesapeake outdoorsman with more than 25 years experience in avoiding office work.

TIPS AND THOUGHTS •

Carry at least 20 oz. of fresh drinking water; double that on hot days. Do not drink water directly from streams without boiling or purifying it first

•

Wear sturdy hiking shoes and dress in layers. Temperatures in the fall fluctuate significantly between mountain peaks and valleys.

•

Use a map and follow the trail-blazes.

•

Let someone know your route and when you’ll be back.

•

Be realistic about your physical abilities and limitations.

•

Follow the “Leave No Trace” ethos.

•

Pastoral regions of the Bay watershed are such great places to hike and bike (and oftentimes fish, of course) that we must do our best to preserve them. That means using them, appreciating them, and taking care of them.
