ROSES WOMEN SAILORS CRUISE FOR THE CROWN

AN ATLANTIC UNION ELITE CRETE, UNLEASHED

Lifestyle Letter

Salty ventures and sailing lessons I

was trying to get some background for this month’s feature on women sailing. Luckily Ellen Hunt invited me to a practice session. I love being on the water, but let’s say I’m not much at home on a working sailboat — meaning a sailboat where you have to work. The complex maze of lines and jibs and winches confuses me — and that’s before we set off from the dock. Ellen gave me a very important job for the all-lady crew. She pointed to my station. “You’ll be our Hydration Aislinn Kate Photography Engineer,” she said, laughing. “It’s a very critical role.” Sailing against the wind as we approached a buoy near DeLuna Landing at Palafox Pier, Ellen told the crew to get ready for the chute. There was constant chatter as the crew readied lines. All these things had to come together in a flurry of activity. Ellen yelled, “Helms alee!” Winches spooled, lines buzzed. Then, whoosh, you could feel the surge from the spinnaker. We raced downwind. Commands rang out from all parts of the boat. I was ready. “Sean, water please! Hey, get me a root beer! Actual beer!” All delivered. If your role is Hydration Engineer, own it. This month, the lady sailors own the waters of Pensacola Bay for the 29th Race for the Roses. You can find out more in this issue. Ladies, have a safe, fast, enjoyable race. Meanwhile, I’ll practice this whole Hydration Engineer thing.

CORPORATE TEAM CHIEF SALES OFFICER

The Pensacola Lifestyle staff express our condolences and continued support following the loss of Blue Angels’ solo pilot, Marine Capt. Jeff Kuss. Blue Angels Commanding Officer Cmdr. Ryan Bernacchi reflected on the loss of Kuss, 32, of Durango, Colo., who is survived by his wife, Christina, and two children. “This nation has lost an incredible husband, father, son, Marine and teammate — truly one of the finest Americans this country can produce.” Sadness swept through aviation communities. The Canadian Forces Snowbirds, the Royal Canadian Air Force demonstration squadron, dedicated a “Missing Man” formation, with their No. 6 jet arcing skyward. We lost a neighbor. We watched the Blue Angels practice every week over Sherman Field. They visit schools, inspiring children. Meanwhile, their own children play at our ballfields. They have supported us all these years. With our support, the Blues and their extended family will come back stronger — and soar higher.

and stewardship by structuring the curriculum in a format that supports and encourages students to be actively involved in the natural world around them. The mission of The Melba Bayers Meyer Charitable Trust is to support a variety of charitable causes with an emphasis on Arts, culture, humanities, education, environment, animals, health, and human services. This grant generously provides materials, supplies, and science and gardening equipment; resources that are necessary to enhance Creative Learning Academy’s overall science program. The initiative creates more hands-on experiences in the science programs at Creative Learning Academy in partnership with The University of West Florida. “Engaging with the faculty and students at CLA provides, for me, a valuable opportunity to work and learn together in experiential learning environments,” says UWF Assistant Professor of STEM Education, Dr. John Pecore. CLA embraces a partnership with UWF which was established in 2011. The partnership allows the faculty of CLA to benefit from UWF’s nationally-recognized expertise in instructional technology and has created the installation of a number of new learning technologies. CLA regularly welcomes Pecore and his colleagues to the campus for training sessions focused on project-based learning. In the coming months, Pecore will continue to work with CLA faculty to create a field guide that enables students to use the resources introduced because of the “Science Beyond the Walls” grant. “What I learn working with CLA teachers and students provides context for my work teaching UWF teacher candidates,” said Pecore, whose major areas of research are project-based teaching and learning, history and philosophy of science, and informal science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning. A continued partnership with UWF strongly reinforces the school’s mission to nurture and strengthen each child’s foundation of academic excellence.

UNLEASHED ELITE CRETE TRANSFORMS EVERYDAY SURFACES INTO ART ARTICLE REBECCA ROSS

rian Robbins makes art in everyday surfaces. Drab pool decking is transformed into tawny stone. A shop floor swirls with sea-foam hues. An entryway becomes an oversized checkerboard. When the Pensacola resident is around, there is flair underfoot. It's both a passion and a booming business. Robbins, 38, is the owner of Elite Crete of the Gulf Coast. He and his crew offer clients decorative concrete solutions, inside and out. Forget about basic gray — although that's an option. This is concrete unleashed.

Pensacola Lifestyle | July 2016

"We do a lot of interior and exterior f looring in just about any design and color you can imagine," Robbins explained. "For example, we can make it look like wood, or marble, or decorative tiles." Elite Crete of the Gulf Coast has done decking, patios, driveways and porches, to name a few projects. They've installed gleaming floors and textured wall treatments in homes and businesses across the Gulf Coast. Elite Crete also specializes in OSHA-safe epoxy floors for restaurants, where Robbins has completed for the Ruby Slipper and Public Union House in Pensacola and other restaurants in Gulf Breeze, Pensacola Beach and the area. Every job, Robbins said, is different. It's really up to a client's imagination — and budget. "Sometimes, they'll come to me with an idea," he said. "But usually we work together to come up with a design solution. It's a collaboration." Robbins' background gives him a creative advantage. Growing up in Gulf Breeze, he revealed an artistic talent at a young age. "My mom was the first to notice it," he said. "She put me in art classes at seven or eight years old. I loved it." Looking back on those early pieces, he joked, "They were pretty good for a little kid." Robbins' business sense may have developed during those early years, as well. His father, Larry Robbins, founded Pensacola Pools Inc., in 1976. Brian Robbins' affinity for painting continued through high school. He even considered attending art school upon graduation. But his first love would take first place, for a time. "I couldn't find an art school with a good baseball team," Robbins admitted. "And baseball was my number one priority." A star player at Gulf Breeze High School, he was scouted for a blistering fastball, clocked at more than 90 m.p.h. He graduated in 1996 and was drafted by the California Angels, a professional baseball team. Robbins rounded off his baseball career with the Pensacola Pelicans team in 2002. "But I never stopped painting," he said. "I've always enjoyed creating things."

No that's not water... Sea Foam Epoxy Reflector Floor.

Stamped concrete with overlay System (done over existing concrete).

And with a little luck, along came a career in creative concrete. Elite Crete Systems is the leading national manufacturer of decorative concrete and custom seamless flooring. With stylish floors and finishes on the rise, Robbins was encouraged by his wife, Julie, to launch his own Elite Crete business in 2011. "I had been painting a lot of murals and faux decorative finishes, which were very popular for a few years," he said. "When that trend started dying down, it was the right time to do something else." Robbins trained with Elite Crete Systems in a variety of specialized products and treatments including stamped concrete, acidstained concrete, overlays, dyes, concrete surface restoration and protective sealers. Many of these options are ideal, he said, for coastal living. "If your house f loods during a storm, you're going to lose a hardwood or tile f loor," Robbins explained. "But with a sealed, seamless concrete f loor, you just clean it up and it's good to go. No glue, no grout." Area homeowners and businesses are taking note. Elite Crete of the Gulf Coast has been named "Best Decorative Concrete" by the Pensacola News Journal's Best of the Bay readers' choice awards for three consecutive years. These days, the most likely place to find Robbins is on a job site. With several ongoing projects, he hopes to squeeze in a weekend off this summer. It would be his first in quite a while. "But it's good to be busy," Robbins assured, with a chuckle. "I love what I'm doing."

rom a distance the sailing looks relaxing, slicing through a placid Pensacola Bay on a warm summer day. But as Ellen Hunt guides the boat to round the buoy and head downwind, things are about to get busy. “Helms alee!” she chimes. In that instant, the crew scrambles about their tasks simultaneously. Hunt guides the boat around the mark. The foredeck crew members pull in the shorter jib sail and release the spinnaker — a massive lightweight chute used for downwind sailing. The crew behind Hunt and along the mid-deck tighten and release lines to keep the boat on track. A physical thump is felt as the spinnaker takes a gulp of Gulf air. We are racing.

Lionfish:

humans bite back

Lionfish Awareness promoting removal of invasive, tasty fish SEAN SMITH | PHOTOGRAPHY SEAN SMITH

hey are voracious — top of the food chain. And once they start eating, there is almost nothing stopping them. And that’s why humans — and our predatory taste buds — just might be a voracious solution to the lionfish invasion occurring in Northwest Florida waters and beyond. Lionfish, a tropical reef-fish native to the Indo-Pacific, known for its colorful and toxic spiny fins, was a popular, pricy resident of tropical aquariums. It has somehow found a home in the waters off Northwest Florida — particularly Pensacola. It just so happens that lionfish are pretty tasty, once you get past all those noxious fins. So the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission united to form a coalition with marine agencies, restaurants and few hundred tireless scuba divers to start a program to remove the fish and find a place for them in area restaurants — and maybe as a nice smoky dip. The second year for Lionfish Awareness and Removal Day saw a tripling of crowds and a tripled increase in harvested lionfish. Scuba divers removed more than 8,500 lionfish over the two-day event in May. “We are the only predator for them. They are top of the food chain on the reefs. Not even sharks will touch them,” Amanda Nalley, spokeswoman for the FWC. “And they eat everything in sight. That means young snapper, grouper and other valuable fish. We are trying to research the impact but in the meantime we are hoping to help promote the removal and tableware value they provide. Luckily they are pretty good table-fare.” Celebrity chefs such as Wayan Sumadi from Sake Cafe, Gus Silivos of Skopelo’s and Chef Dan Dunn of the Hilton-Garden Inn Resort, Pensacola Beach, served up lionfish on tacos, blackened, grilled, fried and even as sashimi with fish eggs and a cucumber salad. So what did the chefs say? “It’s a great-eating fish. The texture and the flavor are almost like a baby triggerfish or scamp (grouper),” Silivos said. “The only thing is that it’s small in size so you have to prepare it in a way that makes sense.” Chef Dunn prepped a blackened lionfish over grits with a beer barbecue sauce— and then shared samples of a sashimi in sauce with fish eggs and cucumber salad. “It’s a very versatile fish, like salmon— you can everything to it,” Dunn said. “It is absolutely delicious. and the presentation is impressive.” Edible Invaders is spreading a lionfish dip that is catching on at Joe Patti’s seafood and other vendors. It’s good. Really good. “The dip allows us to harvest and use lionfish in smaller sizes to get them off the reef sooner,” said Aimee Wilson of Edible Invaders. “The more people ask about lionfish in their local restaurants, the more awareness and demand we can create.” 20

Paul and Rachael own and race Atlantic Union, a Benetau 36.7 they bought together — before buying a house. Their home in East Hill bears a U.S. and a British flag. Paul, a pilot in his 32nd year with FedEx, was born in New Orleans. Rachael, Director of Development for The Studer Group, hails from Liverpool, England. They were on separate sailboats that “rafted up” — a popular anchoring ritual — after a regatta in the British Virgin Islands. “Our eyes met, and that was it,” Rachael said. “We fell in love.” They have raced together just about twice a month for the past 13 years. They recently raced with the fleet from Pensacola and Southern Yacht Clubs for the Regatta al Sol — a 550-plus mile voyage across the Gulf of Mexico to Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Over the years, the Gillettes have honed their teamwork when they sail together. Paul runs the helm; Rachael trims the sail.

“The main sail is massive. It drives the boat,” Paul said. “It was the first thing she learned to do and she does a terrific job at it.” Both are fierce competitors, and this month, Paul will have to cheer from afar as Rachael captains Atlantic Union in Race for the Roses, an all-female regatta hosted by Pensacola Beach Yacht Club. “Sailing is such a challenge. At the end of the day you are racing against people who are your friends,” Paul said. “On the water they are competition but at the end of the day you are friends. We help out people if they are in trouble but then we get back to racing. It’s like you’re on a chessboard, but the board is always changing, and you have to live and adapt with every decision you make.” Teamwork has to be seamless on a sailboat, with so many things happening at once. “You have to be in synch with each other,” Rachael said. “Sailing is intuitive.” The Mexico race is unpredictable, proven the seven times they have covered it together. This year’s race saw light and calm conditions — vexing the crews to find any breeze they could to traverse the Gulf.

But they know that can change — and how quickly the Gulf of Mexico can change its mood. In 2008, a violent thunderstorm struck as they left Pensacola Pass. “We had some scary moments,” Rachael said. “That was definitely one of them. The sky went black and we could see three waterspouts around us. It was the one time I thought, ‘Why am I doing this!’” A violent gust slammed Atlantic Union on its side, enveloping the cockpit. It’s one of those moments when sailors say their prayers. But the winds relented and Atlantic Union recovered. After checking on other crews, the Atlantic Union continued on the 550 miles to finish in beautiful weather. As they neared Yucatan, they encountered a mass gathering of manta rays and gentle whale sharks pursuing plankton. “It was the most amazing thing,” Paul said. “We thought about how incredible that was to go from one extreme to the other.” Out on the open Gulf, the light pollution goes away and they can see the night sky as it’s supposed to be. Every star, every meteor, and Ok, some satellites, are in full glory as they sail. “As far as you can look it’s just sea, no land, no other boats,” she said. “It gives you a whole different experience you never get to see — especially at night. You can see millions of stars and meteors. It gives you a whole different perspective on life.”

DINE, Wine & SONG

THE VINEYARD AT 12TH AVENUE BRINGS OUTDOOR DINING BACK TO EAST HILL

hen The Yard hauled away its last rickety picnic table from outside the Old Sacred Heart building last fall, it left a void in East Hill. 1.

SEAN SMITH | PHOTOGRAPHY SEAN SMITH

The Yard was a place where locals could gather outside under the stars or lazy sun, sip a glass of wine or a frosty beverage and enjoy a casual meal — usually Tex-Mex. You could laugh off the work week. Children wandered around — sometimes at high speed. Just as is East Hill, it was a motley crowd, of many flavors, rubbing elbows — some showing off their leashed pets. A few years before, The Yard had replaced Madison’s, a long-time dining locals’ staple famous for its meat loaf, pot roast, and champagne brunch. Call it serendipitous. The Vineyard at 12th Avenue, which opened in May, combines both ideas. Inside, cozy tables offer dinner by candlelight. Behind the dining grotto, tucked away like a subtle man-cave, a heavily TV’d bar lets guests relax and browse the extensive wine menu. And outside, you can dine under the stars, relax in the shade on Adirondack chairs and even a pergola — or surreptitiously share lamb lollies with your dog while you listen to lively live music. Proprietors Glen Hill and Paul and Pamela Kilmartin had turned the Blackwater Bistro into a local’s getaway in Milton. Their aim is to do that here with The Vineyard. Chef Jordan Bartley has developed a broad menu that includes Beef Wellington, steaks, crab cakes and cheese plates, and yes, there are burgers, hand-helds and small plates. 1. Co-owners Pamela Kilmartin and Glen Hill joined chef Jordan Baxley as the Vineyard participated in Market Basket. 2. Co-owner Paul Kilmartin shares a dance during the grand opening weekend. 3.

Pensacola Lifestyle sat down with one of the proprietors Glen Hill, to welcome him to the neighborhood. PENSACOLA LIFESTYLE: Welcome to East Hill and thank you for providing me another excuse to ride my bicycle. How is it going so far? GLEN: it’s going great; the community has come out to support us. From working in the building for the several months leading up to the opening people were very excited and curious. It’s a great mix of people. PL: Do you specialize in similar fare as Blackwater Bistro? GLEN: Very different. We want to specialize here in a relaxed environment. People can come here and order small plates to start with maybe a bottle of wine. They can relax with their friends, have conversation and make new friends. It’s a place where you can come and get the experience of the rich culture of not only this community but also bring in the influence from other places as well. PL: What were you aiming for with your wine selection? GLEN: We were aiming for diversity. But we approach our wine list with the mindset of people who want to come and don’t want to spend a ton of money but still get good quality wines — so we have wines from $5 a glass to $24 a glass to bottles that are a $100. So you can come and spend as much money as you would like or as little as you like and enjoy yourself. We also added Adirondack chairs — equipped with stem and glass holders — outside because we know some people want to come and eat

and relax and be more comfortable. They also have oversized armrests so you can take a plate. PL: Brunch? Yes, there’s brunch! (This writer likes brunch. Maybe too much). GLENN: We are doing Sunday brunch 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There seems to be a youthful population who want to come Sunday evenings as well. Our initial thought was people would be wanting to get ready for work and school the next day but it seems there is an interest in people coming in on Sunday evenings. (Editorializing: this writer is not that young, but definitely is one of those people) PL: What are the signature dishes? GLEN: Beef wellington. It’s a big deal because you can’t get it very many places. It is an English preparation of steak with puff pastry. We try to use as many local providers for produce as we can. Lots of homemade desserts from grandmother’s key lime pie, flourless chocolate cake homemade cobbler of the day (with ice cream, of course). We want people to be like “Hey that’s our spot.” We have found a lot of people who come in and say, This is our new spot.” We are very excited about that. And so is this writer. 1.

BMW 528i with xDrive ENJOY DRIVING AGAIN

ARTICLE MARK MOODY

The BMW 528i is a classically refined sedan that will turn the heads of other drivers. 26

Pensacola Lifestyle | July 2016

On the outside, the BMW 528i is a classically refined sedan that will turn the heads of other drivers.

ometimes my wife and I don’t see eye to eye. Such is the case when it comes to automobiles. To her, a car is just a mode of transportation—a way to get from point A to point B. To me, a car is not just a way to get down the road, but rather a vehicle for excitement. I love to drive. In my 20s I owned a silver sports car that I drove whenever I had a spare moment. Twenty years and two kids later, I find myself driving an SUV. Now the time has come to look for a new vehicle. I need a family-friendly vehicle that that will still get my heart pumping. After much investigation and many test drives, I found the BMW 528i with xDrive. On the outside, the BMW 528i is a classically refined sedan that will turn the heads of other drivers. It comes standard with 17-inch wheels, automatic and adaptive xenon headlights, LED accent lights and LED fog lights.

As soon as I opened the door, I was anxious to get behind the wheel. The spacious and comfortable cabin beckons you to sit in the captain’s chair. When I sit in a car for the first time, I like to familiarize myself with its features. The BMW 528i does not disappoint when it comes to high-tech features and creature comforts, including auto-dimming heated mirrors, automatic wipers, sunroof, dual-zone cruise control, power-tilt-steering wheel and iDrive interface with a 10.2-inch display. For the music lover, it has a 12-speaker sound system, aux-in jack and 20 GB of digital music storage. Now for the best part: I started the engine. As the motor purred, I could almost hear the 40 plus years of refinement that went into its development. I pressed down hard on the gas pedal. I was amazed how quickly this large sedan accelerates. It is truly impressive that this car can hit 60 mph in just over six seconds. The BMW 528i is all of this, while maintaining a sensible mpg — around 30 combined. The 8-speed automatic transmission performs flawlessly. However, if you want a truer driving experience, you can opt for manual drive and use the steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters. You will feel like a rock star! This model has the xDrive moniker, which means it exhibits incredible handling in all weather. The fine-tuned powertrain, suspension and steering system provide driving dynamics that are high precision while still smooth running. I could feel the sporty driving pleasure that the chassis transmitted from the road directly through the steering wheel. The end result is a vehicle that offers an exhilarating combination of sheer dynamism, comfort and everyday usability. When you are looking to buy your next family car, don’t settle for a boring old sedan or an adrenaline-inhibiting SUV. Treat yourself to a luxury and pulse-boosting vehicle, the BMW 528i with xDrive.
