Dear Member: I had the chance this spring to hike part of the Appalachian Trail through the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. My hike coincided with a wave of through-hikers who hike the trail from Springer Mountain, Ga., to Mt. Katahdin, Maine, taking about six months to complete. After spending four days with different groups of through-hikers I kept thinking about how these hikers, who look out for each other and have taken on this monumental feat, remind me of the boating community. I think back to times I have been helped by a fellow boater whether helping fix something or imparting knowledge. The through-hikers had this same mentality — we are all in this together. It reminded me why I love boating and the people that I run into at the marinas, conferences and boat shows. We recently exhibited at the AGLCA (America’s Great Loop Cruising Association) Spring Rendezvous in Norfolk. The “Loopers” have taken on a similar
challenge as the through-hikers — to circumnavigate the eastern part of the US that also takes about six months. The community, lifestyle, and camaraderie among boaters are the reasons that Marinalife was started 15 years ago. Here’s to a fun and safe summer of meeting new friends on the water. The Marinalife team has some new things in store for you this summer including a new and improved version of our mobile app. It is currently available (for free) for Apple users and soon for Android users. The new app allows you to easily find a marina, read reviews and view rates and fuel prices all on a nautical chart. Visit marinalife.com/app to learn more. The summer issue of Marinalife is jam-packed with articles to help inspire your summer cruising — from Cruising the Chesapeake Bay to Lobster Fest in Rockland, Maine. Also, read about the top dock-and-dine destinations in Massachusetts and cruise with the Trogdons as they pick their favorite waterfront bed and breakfasts in the Pacific Northwest. We look forward to seeing everyone out on the water this summer!

CHESAPEAKE BAY
Cruising the Chesapeake Bay BY J OY M c P E T E R S
Baltimore's Inner Harbor is the perfect place to venture this summer. Tons of attractions are all located within walking distance from the harbor including Camden Yards, Port Discovery Children's Museum, the National Aquarium, the Maryland Science Center, and don't forget about all the wonderful restaurants within each unique neighborhood.
Baltimore, Md. Baltimore is a great starting point for your journey this summer exploring parts of the middle and upper Chesapeake Bay. The city has been through a tough time lately but we love it as much as ever. now is the time to visit! You could spend several days in the city, checking out the national aquarium and its award-winning blacktip reef exhibit, visiting the Science Center, exploring the american Visionary arts Museum or cheering on the orioles at Camden Yards — all of this is within walking distance of most of the area’s marinas. Baltimore is famous for its distinct, unique neighborhoods that line the waterfront, including Federal Hill, inner Harbor, Harbor east, Little italy, Fells Point and Canton. no matter which marina and neighborhood you choose, it’s easy to get around — water taxi, bike, dingy and regular taxis abound, and a seven-mile pedestrian promenade wraps around the waterfront. Marina options are plentiful, too — there’s BMC at Harborview near Federal Hill; BMC at inner Harbor in the inner Harbor; Harbor east Marina in Harbor east, the closest to Little italy; the Crescent Marina and Henderson’s wharf in Fells Point; and BMC at Lighthouse Point Center and anchorage Marina in Canton. For more about favorite spots to eat and things to do in Baltimore from the Baltimore locals at Marinalife, visit marinalife.com/baltimore. 18

Day 1 Kent Narrows, Md. it will take a little more than an hour to get to kent narrows from Baltimore. kent narrows is used by boaters as a short cut for accessing the Miles and wye river or eastern Bay, rather than going under the Bay Bridge. However it is also a destination in its own right, with an array of seafood restaurants, bars and marinas, and it’s a convenient stopping point before cruising to St. Michaels. if you are craving the bay’s fresh seafood, you will not be disappointed by the choices here — Harris Crab House, the narrows restaurant and Bridges restaurant are just some of the top-notch spots, many of which allow you to dock and dine. if you are ready for some good people watching and a lively crowd, head to red eye’s dock Bar for the live music, bikini contests and potent frozen-drink concoctions. and don’t miss Big owl’s Tiki Bar, where the locals gather to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets. dock at Piney narrows Yacht Haven (410-643-6600) or Mears Point Marina (410-827-8888). another good option is Castle Harbor Marina (410-643-5599), only about two miles northeast on the Chester river.

Bridges Restaurant is located in Kent Narrows and offers complimentary dockage for guests dining at the restaurant for vessels up to 70 feet. View of Kent Narrows Bridge from Red Eye’s Dock Bar.
The city of Rock Hall, known as the Pearl of the Chesapeake, offers a vibrant community with ample shops and restaurants along with numerous fishing, hiking, biking and boating opportunities.
Day 2 Rock Hall, Md. From Kent Narrows, head north approximately 15 miles to the town of Rock Hall and find dockage or an anchorage on Swan Creek, located behind Rock Hall Harbor. There are several excellent marinas on Swan Creek, including Haven Harbour Marina (410-778-6697), Gratitude Marina (410-639-7011) and Osprey Point Marina (410-639-2194). All are on a shuttle route that takes you around Rock Hall. Rock Hall is still a town of watermen who bring in oysters, crabs and rockfish daily. Visit the Waterman’s Museum at Haven Harbour to learn more about that
maritime history. A great way to explore this quaint town is by bicycle. Many of the marinas have free bike rentals. Main Street is dotted with numerous antique shops, clothing stores and boutiques, such as Smilin’ Jakes Casual Apparel. On Saturday afternoons, hit the Farmers & Artisans Market to pick up fresh local produce and browse the many craft stalls. For a relaxing evening, stop at The Mainstay and listen to jazz, or head to Waterman’s Crab House to devour crabs and groove to live music on the outdoor deck. The nearby waterfront Harbor Shack is a local favorite
and offers live music and good food. During the summer there’s a stream of fun events, from the Log Canoe Races ( July 18-19) to the infamous Pirates and Wenches Weekend (August 7-9). If you need to reprovision, Bayside Food is right in town. And if your vessel needs any type of service or maintenance, you are in the right place — Rock Hall has several top yards (including Haven Harbour and Gratitude) that can perform work on your boat.

Stephen and Kristi Wells aboard their boat Rhythm ’n Blues.
Our Rhythm ‘n Blues BY S T E P H E N W E L L S
Bon Voyage Welcome Aboard! We departed from our homeport in Vero Beach, Fla., headed north to Maine aboard our 78’ Ocean Alexander, Rhythm ‘n Blues. This journey took us to many ports of call, traveling over 5,500 nautical miles from Florida to Maine and back. The daunting task of making all of these marina reservations was made easy with the help from the Marinalife staff. The length of this cruise created a new “rhythm” for us which leads to the boat’s name, Rhythm ‘n Blues. Now hop aboard as we take you through our journey from the Chesapeake Bay to Maine.
Part 1 — Chesapeake Bay This was one of the highlights of our trip. College friends who were married the same year as us joined us for our 35th anniversary cruise through the Chesapeake Bay. We made it our quest to find the best crab cakes on the bay. We began this leg of the trip at Bluewater Yachting Center in hampton, Va., The surf rider restaurant was the first of our many crab cakes! The next day brought us to The Tides 22
marinalife.com
inn in irvington, Va., We biked to The Dog and Oyster Winery and had dinner and of course crab cakes at the Tides inn restaurant. Zahniser’s Yachting Center in solomons island, Md., was beautiful. We took the dinghy all around the island where the topography was so interesting with cliffs and lovely scenery. We enjoyed crab cakes at stoney’s seafood house. Oxford, Md., was one of our favorites
places to explore! All of the quaint homes were in perfect condition. Many residents partner with local artists for a contest in which they paint a portion of the resident’s white fence, better known as “onion tops.” We stayed at the Brewer Oxford Boat Yard & Marina and had crab cakes at schooner’s on the Creek. st. Michaels, Md., was another fun spot with lots of shops and restaurants. We docked at st. Michaels Marina, which

The Naval Academy started doing noon meal formations in 1905; the idea came from the tradition of mustering troops in the Civil War.
St. Michaels Marina St. Michaels, Md. Annapolis City Dock Annapolis, Md.
was an easy walk to everything. We actually had two crab cake tastings: The Crab Claw Restaurant and St. Michaels Crab & Steakhouse. Annapolis was bustling with energy! We stayed at Annapolis City Dock and we were in the thick of the action. It was fun exploring the Naval Academy and all of the shops and restaurants that align the streets. Steps away from the boat was the winning crab cake, located at Dock Street Bar & Grill! We finished off the Chesapeake Bay with stops in Chestertown, Rock Hall and Georgetown before cruising through the C & D Canal toward Atlantic City, N.J. Then we made our way to the “Big Apple” for an extended stay. The Statue of Liberty was completed in France in July 1884 and gifted to the United States to recognize the American Centennial. The statue was unveiled in its residing location in October 1886. The copper statue stands 151 feet and 1 inch and weighs 450,000 pounds.
Part 2 — Long Island New York City, or should I say “the Big Apple,” will rate up there as one of the most memorable days of our trip. Bringing the boat right up to the Statue of Liberty was amazing. We wanted to sing “God Bless America” at the top of our lungs! After a night at Danfords Hotel & Marina in Port Jefferson (locally known as Port Jeff ), we traveled to Mitchell Park Marina in Greenport and on our way we passed Plum Island. For all of you Nelson DeMille fans (novelist) you will know exactly where we are. Mitchell Park Marina is located in town and we enjoyed a nice walk to Claudio’s for dinner (a Greenport landmark — the oldest family-owned restaurant in the United States since 1870). The next day we biked to Kontokosta Winery and did a wine tasting at this beautiful winery overlooking Long Island Sound. There are at least 50 vineyards in this region, and we have been surprised by the quality of the wines. We left Greenport and had a short hour and a half ride to Sag Harbor, an upscale little town that is not far from the Hamptons with very nice shops and restaurants. We had lunch at Page Restaurant and enjoyed the very good grilled octopus! Our final stop on Long Island was Montauk. Montauk Yacht Club is very nice with two pools, restaurants, a beach and a spa. After watching the sunset, we were greeted with a Supermoon.

Acadia is the oldest American National Park east of the Mississippi River and the first where land was donated to the federal government. The park contains over 120 miles of hiking trails.
Part 3 — Rhode Island to Maine Newport, R.I. is a city steeped in history and architecture. We docked at Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina and toured two of the “Summer Cottages” as they are called. The Cliff Walk was a wonderful winding walk that follows the coastline for 3 1/2 miles. Seeing the cliffs and the water crashing onto the rocks was quite a thrill!
On our way we saw a water spout, and wouldn’t you know, it was a whale ! We were happy that we docked at The Black Dog Wharf because Martha’s Vineyard has a nice historic streets with shops and a few restaurants. Nantucket, Mass., has wonderful walking and bike paths throughout the entire island. We loved seeing the residential area with the immaculately restored homes on the cobblestone streets. The yards are lush and manicured with an abundant amount of hydrangeas in every color imaginable! We docked at Nantucket Boat Basin. In Boston, we stayed at Constitution Marina located on Boston Harbor 24
conveniently situated on the Freedom Trail. Boston Commons is unique with the “swan boats” and Newbury Street, the historic high-end shopping district with lots of outdoor cafes. We took the dinghy down the Charles River. It was the first time we have ever done locks in a dinghy! From the water we saw Harvard, Boston University and MIT. We left Boston and headed to Newburyport, Mass., a wonderful little town. Arriving during their big Yankee Homecoming Festival, the streets were lined with white tents and the park had concerts during the day and fireworks at night. We tied up at Newburyport Harbor Marina and had delightful dinner at Ceia Kitchen Bar — a small European restaurant. The next day we headed to Boothbay, Maine. On our way we saw a water spout and, wouldn’t you know, it was a whale! To be so close to such a huge creature was awe inspiring! The scenery and temperatures changed quite a bit as we made our way into the harbor. It was absolutely beautiful! You know you have entered Maine when you can walk across the water on lobster trap buoys. It requires major maneuvering skills to make your way through the waterways and harbors. We took the dinghy out the next day to the town of Bath. Again, another amazing day of
beautiful scenery spotting seals on our journey. The dockmaster asked us where we had gone and when we told him Bath, he said, “You took that little dinghy through Hells Gate, that’s adventurous!” (I guess that’s what they call that section of 6-knot rapids that we had to go through!) We were in Rockland, Maine for a few days. We were able to dinghy over to Rockport (not to be confused with Rockland) and also to Owl’s Head Point. Very beautiful coastal countryside. Lots of art galleries for visitors to explore in Rockland. We finally arrived to Bar Harbor, Maine and met our daughter Stephanie and her husband John. They hiked Precipice which is the most difficult hike in all of Acadia National Park. My wife and I had already hiked Precipice 20 years ago so we had our bragging rights! The guidebook says “climbers should expect an experience physically strenuous and mentally stimulating.” We decided that might be too tiring. The next day we all hiked Acadia Mountain together, which the guidebook called moderately strenuous. Let’s just say their definition of “moderate” is a little different from Kristi’s! m l To view this article online, visit marinalife.com/rhythmnblues

General Manager, The Squamish Nation Marine Group
Donny Geographic Photography
Vancouverites are blessed with one of the most spectacular places to boat in the world. Whistler. I generally feel them out and give them guidance based on their requests. We are very lucky here in North Vancouver. We’ve got the best of city living with a million different things to see and do as well as easy access to nature and recreation in our back yard. How long have you been the general manager at Mosquito Creek? I’ve been the general manager of the Squamish Nation Marine Group since 2006, managing and redeveloping Mosquito Creek Marina, Lynnwood Marina and New Brighton Port. How long have been you in Vancouver? What brought you to the area? I’ve been in Vancouver since 1989. Rock and Roll! I was a professional musician before my marina career. How did you get into the boating industry? I have always been interested in boats. I was living on a 40-foot boat at the time and a friend offered me a job as a deck hand at a local pilot company and one thing lead to another. After my stint with the marine company I moved on to a dock master position in downtown Vancouver. I stayed at that position for four years, and then this exciting new opportunity presented itself. Have you seen a lot of changes in the Vancouver boating industry since you have been there? Yes I have. There are a lot of recreational 28

boaters in the Vancouver area. And more marinas have sprouted up and more interest in better service. There are a lot of new faces in the boating industry. Vancouverites are blessed with one of the most spectacular places to boat in the world. There are many spots to go and anchor and explore. There is also a lot of reason to stay in North Vancouver. What is some of your hobbies besides boating? Photography. I have a little site called donnygeographic.com where I share my images. There are so many spectacular visuals we see everyday. I love my camera and crafting the shot. Sausage or Bacon? Bacon without a doubt! If a boater pulls into the marina and wants suggestion on things to do — what do you say? I say, “What would you like to do?” Some people are here to look at the beauty of this amazing area while some are here for the food. There are so many great restaurants in the area. Some want to go on a real estate hunt. Some want to go golfing, hiking, sightseeing, maybe to
Your drink of choice? I’m a juicer. I juice three times a day so that’s a tough one. I can say there is a l ot of green juice in my life. When the weekend rolls around the green takes a bit of a back seat to a good single malt or a cold Molson. What team do you cheer on the most? I would say that being a Vancouverite, I pretty much have to say our beloved Canucks are the team I cheer for. It’s an up-and-down battle to stay on board with them but one has to have faith. Favorite band/performer? Being a musician for a good part of my life makes it hard to choose a favorite band or performer. There are so many talented people on this planet. I’m a big fan of The Beatles, Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, Little Feat, Tom Waits and many, many others. Where is the coolest place you ever traveled to? I think the coolest place we have traveled to is Russia. A Viking River cruise down the Volga River from St. Petersburg to Moscow was really a very cool trip. Bali, Croatia and Beijing also rank up there. m l

MARINA SPOTLIGHT
>
Journey’s End Marina JOuRNey’S eNd MARINA is set in the thriving Midcoast Maine port of Rockland in West Penobscot Bay. The property is owned by the O’Hara Corporation, which has been active in the marine industry for more than 100 years and also operates O’Hara Bait out of Rockland and an Alaskan fishing fleet in the Bering Sea. The idea for the marina first took hold in the 1990s, when the fishing industry gravitated toward the West Coast. The O’Hara family decided to purchase some vacant waterfront fish processing plants around Rockland’s harbor. Soon Journey’s end began to take shape, and a full-service yachting center — which caters to both recreational vessels and commercial lobster boats — was born. Rockland is a popular destination for cruisers heading north during the summer, and Journey’s end quickly became one of the premiere places to stop. The deep-water marina can accommodate vessels up to 275 feet and offers everything a boater may need, including WiFi, well-lit ramps and docks, water and electric, a ship store, clean shower and bathroom facilities, laundry and both diesel and gasoline fuel. The marina has the largest indoor boat

storage facility in Maine, and the service crew happily works on everything from the smallest boats to the largest mega-yachts. This August, a heated 18,000-square-foot indoor service and storage facility will be completed, along with an 85-foot indoor spray booth. The extensive services available include fiberglass repairs, full re-paint jobs, hull and keel repairs, electrical and refrigeration maintenance, metal fabrication, and general engine repairs. Journey’s end also runs a transport service that safely gets your vessel anywhere you need it within the united States and Canada. The heart of quaint Rockland is just a stone’s throw from the marina. Browse through the many shops and art galleries and grab a bite to eat at one of the excellent restaurants, including the award-winning Primo, which offers farm-to-table cuisine by celebrated chef Melissa Kelly. Tour the Rock Harbor Brewing Company, sample one of the many beers on tap, and kick back to the soulful beats of the live bands. The many festivals throughout the summer include the North Atlantic Blues Festival ( July 11-12), the Maine Lobster Festival ( July 29-August 2) and the 13th Annual Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors Show (August 14-16). What’s more, Rockland is home to many historic schooners, including the magnificent Victory Chimes. Perhaps Journey’s end general manager Shane Strause sums up the facility’s appeal best: “If you’re boating in New england, there’s no need to compromise. Journey’s end is a spectacular summer destination for boaters, no matter what you’re looking for — a seasonal slip, a paint job, indoor winter storage, you name it. Journey’s end Marina is the one place that offers you everything you and your boat may need. Come and see what sets us apart from everyone else.” m l For more information, visit journeysendmarina.com

Mackinac Island: THE GREAT LAKES RESORT BY C A P T. J E F F W E R N E R
The Straits of Mackinac between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan and the surrounding region have historically been known as Michilimackinac.

commerce, immigration and business travel were the inland seas themselves and the Erie canal. steamboat passenger ferries connected the major great Lake cities of Buffalo, toronto, cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee and chicago. As the gilded Era advanced, so did the luxurious appointments aboard these palatial intercity steamers. As an antidote to living in the big industrial cities during
summer in the late 1800s, northern Michigan became a popular getaway for the rich and middle class alike. A ticket aboard a coal-fired steamer from chicago to harbor springs, Michigan was just $5, without meals and a cabin for the 24 hour trip. The grand hotel built in 1887 on Mackinac island, exemplifies tourism developed for those who benefited from
The Grand Hotel's front porch is the longest in the world and is known as a "flirtation walk" for visiting Mackinac Island romantics.
Grand Hotel Mackinac Island
some linguists say Michilimackinac means “great turtle” in the ottawa nation language and refers to the shape of Mackinac island. But the ottawa tribe, who settled on Mackinac island before their first contact with Europeans, say they found a small tribe already living on that island and their tribal name was Mi-shi-ne-macki naw-go. That’s why “Mackinac” is spoken as “Mackinaw,” unless you’re a “fudgie” and unfamiliar with the local pronunciation. today it’s the fudgies dollars spent at the fudge shops and riding on horse drawn wagons around Mackinac island that drive the summer tourist economy from Father’s Day to Labor Day. This popular great Lakes destination is located at the crossroads of history for the upper Midwest. Michilimackinac has witnessed French Jesuit missionaries and voyageurs, the development of the beaver fur trade and the competition between England and France to be the dominant colonial power in north America. But when did this eight-square-mile island first become a summer resort destination? That occured during the America Victorian Era after the civil War. Before the spider web of railroad lines were built in the great Lakes region, the primary mode of transportation for

The Grand Hotel was opened in 1887 as a summer retreat for vacationers who arrived by lake steamer from Chicago, Erie, Montreal and Detroit.

Perched on a bluff, with sweeping views from its 660-foot-long front porch, the “Grand” was designed as a desitination resort by the owners of the Detroit and Cleveland Steamship Company and the Michigan Central Railroad. It was an immediate success, and a hundred years later it was designated a National Historic Landmark. In fact, all of Mackinac Island is now a National Historic Landmark District, which makes it a must visit port of call for Great Lakes

cruisers with an interest in history. The best choice when arriving by boat is to tie up at the dock at Mackinac Island State Harbor. Why is it the best choice? Because it is the only marina on the island! The marina is part of the Michigan State Park system and reservations should be made well in advance either online or by phone. Although there is room to anchor in the harbor, the holding is poor and would be unsafe in a blow. The next best alternative for dockage is another Michigan State Park marina, Straits State Harbor in Mackinaw City, which
is six nautical miles southwest of the island. For sightseeing back on Mackinac Island there are ferries, leaving every half hour throughout the day from Straits State Harbor. Once ashore on Mackinac Island, buy some fresh hand made fudge, rent a bicycle and start your journey back in time by exploring these historical sites: ❖ Fort Mackinac – Built by the British Army just before the end of the Revolutionary War, it was belatedly turned over to the United States many years after the Treaty of Paris.

VICTORIA, BRITISH COLuMBIA
The British Columbia Parliament buildings were built from 1893 to 1897 and serve as the home to the Legislative Assembly of B.C.
the pnw crowned jewel BY B O B A R R I N G TO N
Tourism Victoria
CApTurINg ThE ESSENCE of Victoria, British Columbia in words is almost impossible. You have to experience Victoria to fully appreciate it. Located on a protected harbor on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, it is one of the oldest cities in the pacific Northwest, settled by the British in 1843, and is known as one of the most British cities outside England. It also ranks as one of the top cities in the world for quality of life. As the capital of British Columbia it is well serviced by airplanes and ferries from multiple points in the u.S. and Canada. One of the most interesting ways to arrive is by float plane — Kenmore Air and harbour Air will both land you right downtown. Victoria is very walkable, and the most popular attractions are within two miles of the inner harbor. The city has a rich collection of historic buildings, including the parliament Building, completed in 1897, and the Empress hotel, which opened in 1908. An interesting assortment of marine architecture can be found at Fisherman’s Wharf, where a colorful group of houseboats nestle in a cove. Victoria has a healthy economy made up primarily of tech businesses, government agencies, and the tourism sector. The internationally diverse population brings with it cosmopolitan offerings — restaurants and shops abound, many of which are located in a creatively restored merchant district. The well-established Chinatown neighborhood is almost as old as San Francisco’s. Set on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, the city is surrounded by natural beauty, clean air and clear water. It’s abundant sunshine and mild temperatures have earned it the nickname the garden City. It enjoys relatively mild, dry weather in what is otherwise a cool, damp area. Don’t miss the Butchart gardens, about a 30-minute drive north of Victoria. It is one of the world’s premier botanical displays. With a circumnavigation distance of approximately 550 nautical miles, including dozens of marinas and hundreds of scenic anchorages, one could spend years exploring Vancouver Island and not cover the same ground twice. Victoria and Vancouver Island are a boater’s paradise. m l
Victoria's Chinatown is the oldest in Canada and dates back to the mid 19th century when a mass influx of miners arrived from California in 1858.

12TH HAVANA BIENNIAL
Our Man in Havana BY C A P T. J E F F W E R N E R
Thanks To efforTs to normalize relations with Cuba, pathways for americans to visit this island nation by sea and by air continue to expand. It is not a matter if you will visit Cuba, it is a matter of when. La habana, the capital of Cuba, was named after the Taino cheftain, habaguanex, who ruled that area when a spanish conquistador founded that settlement 500 years ago. Today, havana has become an international locus for contemporary art and the center of an effort to restore Cuba's heritage and architecture. 38

Recently restored building at Plaza Vieja in Havana.
The 12th Havana biennial highlighting Cuban contemporary artists and other artists from around the world concluded in June at exhibition spaces, museums and galleries throughout the city. painters, sculptors, photographers and performance artists exhibited their work at locations as diverse as el Morro and La Cabaña, the Spanish colonial fortresses overlooking Old Havana, to the Malecón, the
waterfront promenade favored by friends and lovers at sunset. Museum curators, gallery owners, art aficionados and lucky tourists all had the opportunity to meet with up-and-coming and established artists and view their work. Contemporary Cuban art is becoming sought after by collectors for both its intrinsic value of personal expression and its future value as an investment.

Castillo de la Real Fuerza built in the 1560s protected La Habaña Vieja for many years. There are many restored American classic cars in Havana. Pictured here is a 1956 Chevrolet.
Part of the cultural patrimony of any country is its historic buildings. For many years Cuba neglected these important structures and they fell into disrepair. Realizing the significance of their history, not only for future generations but to the burgeoning tourism industry, Cuba appointed conservators for the cities of Cienfuegos and Havana. Their task was to restore the historic centers of those
cities, which were designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The work in the southern city of Cienfuegos on the Caribbean Sea is just about complete, while the restoration of La Habaña Vieja (Old Havana) is ongoing. Havana is experiencing a renewal of spirit, entrepeneurship and possibilities. While visitors from Canada, Europe and Latin America have had the opportunity
to see this first hand in recent years, it is now time for Americans to reestablish the friendship forged between Cuba and the United States, which was an outcome of the Spanish-American War in 1898. m l

CRUISING WITH

TONYA & RICK ANTLE
Tony and Rick Antle on the historic Atlantic City boardwalk, built in 1870.
Tonya and Rick’s boat, Artemis, is taking them on an adventure from Maryland to Maine.
a summer to remember BY TO N YA A N D R I C K A N T L E
Our summer boating season has begun! My husband Rick and I cruise on Artemis, our Offshore 54 Pilothouse, which we purchased in Ft. Lauderdale in 2014 with plans of completing the Great Loop over a three-year period. Last year was our first year cruising and it consisted of four legs beginning in Ft. Lauderdale in March and ending in the Chesapeake Bay by September. For the 2015 summer season, we will be working our way north from the Chesapeake Bay, taking a detour from the Great Loop, toward Maine then back to the Hudson River, finishing the season in Winter Harbor, N.Y. I am looking forward to New York City, the Boston Harbor for 4th of July, Acadia National Park and then The U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows, N.Y.
LOG DAY 1
— We left from Pleasure Cove Marina in Pasadena, Md., in mid-May. They stored and maintained our boat for the winter and they prepped her for departure. Their team was great to work with and handled our punch list perfectly. Our son Brian and his wife Amanda hopped aboard for our first leg from Pasadena to the C&D Canal. This manmade canal is busy with commercial barges, but is also pleasure boater friendly. In Chesapeake City, we docked at Schaefer’s Canal House with side-tie along the banks of the canal. The marina 40
marinalife.com
had full accommodations along with live music and delicious traditional Maryland fare, consisting of delicious crab pasta and local oysters on the half shell.
LOG DAY 2 — Today we cruised from Chesapeake City, continuing through the C&D Canal. The Canal dropped us into the Delaware Bay, where we continued to South Jersey Marina in Cape May, N.J. — about a six-hour excursion. This marina offered full boat services, a shuttle to town and excellent suggestions for dining and taking in the
charm of this historic community. We walked the town center, stopping for drinks at a local watering hole called the Ugly Mug, then had an amazing dinner at the Marion Inn, known for its prime rib.
LOG DAY 3 — Departing at 8:45 a.m., we headed offshore and ran directly north for three hours, 39 nautical miles to Atlantic City. We arrived just in time to place our bets for American Pharoah running in the 140th Preakness Stakes. We tied up right in front of the casino at the Golden Nugget Marina

where marina guests can access all of the hotel amenities. We took a quick cab ride to the Atlantic City Boardwalk to take in all of the sights and sounds that it has to offer. In the evening, one of our other sons Anthony joined us for a lovely dockside family dinner at Chart House Seafood Restaurant. Atlantic City lived up to its colorful reputation as all three kids came back to the boat with stories of cold dice and empty wallets.
LOG DAY 4 — Leaving Atlantic City, we cruised north on the Atlantic, three miles off the Jersey Shore toward Manasquan, N.J. We docked at Hoffman’s Marina, a full service marina, offering high-speed fuel pumps and clean restroom facilities. Rick and I took a three-mile walk around the small and sleepy commuter town that was filled with new Victorian-style homes that were rebuilt after Hurricane Sandy. Dinner that evening was delicious at the onsite marina restaurant, Waypoint 622. Rick enjoyed the house specialty, pork chops with clams and sausage in a tomato broth. LOG DAY 5 — We were met by four- to -six foot swells and heavy fog during our departure from Hoffman’s Marina. It took about four hours to go 44 nautical miles to reach the New York Harbor. But once we went under the Verrazano Bridge and were in sight of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline, pride and patriotism filled us and all thoughts of the rough crossing were forgotten. Also, standing majestically in the overcast sky was the new World Trade Tower. We continued up the Hudson River to see Manhattan Island by water before turning back and arriving at Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City, N.J. It was the perfect location to catch the ferry to Manhattan. After a pleasant stroll viewing all the sites, Rick and I dined in the Financial District at Delmonico Restaurant, known for its power dinners for Wall Street’s elite.
LOG DAY 6 — Waking up and seeing New York City through the windshield of Artemis was quite a sight to take in. We headed up the East River passing all the major tourist sites of Manhattan on our port side and Brooklyn on our starboard side. With only an occasional tugboat and barge, the channel was clear for cruising. Artemis cruised
commuter yacht Vendetta, which has been featured in several yachting magazines, as the reincarnation of the Vanderbilt, Whitney and Pulitzer families mode of commuting to lower Manhattan in the 1920s and ’30s.

LAKE GEORGE, NEW YORK
Located at the southeastern base of the Adirondack Mountains, Lake George was a favorite summer vacation spot for the elite families of the Northeast during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These families included the Roosevelts, the Vanderbilts, and the Rockefellers.
Queen of the american lakes
WHERE TO DINE Bistro LeRoux 668 NY 149, bistroleroux.com This French-inspired bistro offers an array of seasonal favorites including seared salmon and butter poached lobster risotto. BY R I C H A R D TIMBERLAKE
NARROW, 32-mILE-LONG LAkE GEORGE is nicknamed the Queen of the American Lakes. It is surrounded by the Adirondack mountains, which amounts to some of the most stunning scenery on the East Coast. Its pristine waters and untouched wilderness are also steeped in American history. Fort William Henry, built by the British, sits on its southern end, and Fort Ticonderoga, constructed by the French, is to the north. The name Deer Leap, a popular destination near the central part of the lake, will be familiar to those who know James Fenimore Cooper’s novel “The Last of the mochicans.” The Village of Lake George, on the southern shore, is where the lake is at its widest and is full of hotels, shops and restaurants. It is a great place for a stroll with an ice cream cone on summer evenings. The Lake George Steamboat Company is based here and offers tours of the spectacular lake. Traveling north along the western side of the lake, civilization thins out and nature begins to take over. The best way to explore the many islands and beautiful miles of shoreline is on a boat of your own. Boating on Lake George is always exciting, and there are plenty of marinas and rentals available. Snug Harbor marina has properties in two locations — Silver Bay and Ticonderoga. They offer boat repairs, boat rentals and sales and winter storage. Chic’s marina has watersport rentals, and FR Smith & Sons marina offers boat rentals, too. The Villages offers a host of events during the summer months. Don’t miss events including king George Fishing Derby ( July 10-12), Lake George music Festival (August 17-27), Lake George Restaurant Week (September 13-19) and, of course, the Adirondack Balloon Festival (September 18-20). If you are in the area during the month of July, there are fireworks every Thursday night! One visit to Lake George can lead to a lifetime of discovery. It will soon become obvious that its nickname is an understatement. People have been returning to the area to enjoy its splendor for generations. A weekend’s stay can easily turn into a lifetime of pleasure! m l To view this article online, visit marinalife.com/LakeGeorge

Irvington, Va. Sited on the banks of Carter Creek where it flows into the Rappahannock River, Irvington boasts deep, protected waters and a quaint Colonial ambiance. The village once thrived as a stop for steamboats carrying goods and travelers across southern Chesapeake Bay, which is why The Steamboat Era Museum here is so popular today. For more history, head to Christ Church (finished in 1735), where you can tour one of the nation’s finest examples of Georgian architecture. Hit the farmers’ market for fresh seafood, meat and vegetables or visit one of the vineyards in the area. Dock at The Tides Inn Marina (804-438-5000).

The entire city of Cape May is designated a National Historic Landmark due to its unprecedented concentration of Victorian buildings. It’s also called the nation’s oldest seashore resort and has all the trappings to back it up, including a two-mile boardwalk paralleling the beach with arcades, seafood joints and shopping galore. Cape May makes a great base for outdoor fun — bird-watching, boat tours, dolphin cruises, kayaking and canoeing — and the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum is just
This village at the eastern end of Long Island’s North Fork is modest and casual with the look and feel of an authentic whaling town. Vessels of all sizes are moored in the deep-water harbor, seagulls soar overhead, and, occasionally, there’s a whiff of fried clams on the air. From the waterfront, you can walk to restaurants, shops and even a vintage carousel. Visit the East End Seaport Museum & Marine Foundation and the famous S.T. Preston and Son Chandlery for some nautical seasoning. Dock at Mitchell Park Marina
Well known as an old shipbuilding town, Mystic is also home to some of the finest modern marine facilities on Long Island Sound. There’s plenty to do, particularly for those cruising with kids.

Nantucket, Mass.
Boston, Mass.
The Vineyard, as locals call it, is the bigger, more outgoing sister of Nantucket. The island is closer to Cape Cod, making it a more convenient, and is adorned with picturebook beaches, elegant inns, and upscale dining and shopping, which draw celebrities and serious vacationers alike. Brightly painted gingerbread cottages line the streets of Oak Bluffs (also the home of the Flying Horses, the oldest working carousel in the U.S.).

Restaurants and boutique stores line the streets of Nantucket Town, where you will also find the majority of dining and nightlife options, and the Museum of Nantucket History includes exhibits on the history of the island. Beachcombing, swimming, surfing and fishing are all glorious ways to spend a day, or a week, here. Bring your bike, too, as that is the best way to get around the 50-square-mile island. Dock at Nantucket Boat Basin (508-325-1350).
Boston is one of the oldest cities in the U.S. and has an amazingly rich history and culture. You can still visit where many of the crucial events of the American Revolution occurred along the Freedom Trail, which is marked by a red line of bricks embedded in the ground. The Inner Harbor is home to the USS Constitution at the Charlestown Navy Yard as well as the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum at Fort Point Channel. It also offers the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area and numerous waterfront restaurants.

Summer Shanty in West Dennis
Nothing “whets” an appetite quite like time on the water, and if you happen to be cruising, sailing or fishing along the coast of Massachusetts, we’ve got your fix in the form of these nine terrific dock-and-dine restaurants. Bon appetite! Michael’s Harborside, Newburyport While navigating the mouth of the mighty Merrimack River can be challenging, finding sustenance inside the river isn’t. After docking, boaters can walk just next door to Michael’s Harborside, a lively restaurant and bar overlooking the river. Michael’s specializes in seafood, including sushi, fish and lobster, but also offers pasta, steak, chicken, salads, sandwiches and vegetarian dishes. It also has raw-bar items and creative apps such 54

as sunflower scallops, truffled tots and crispy fried pickles. Dine inside or outside while you watch the boats cruise past. Hilton’s Marina can accommodate vessels up to 100 feet and offers shower and restroom facilities, fuel, WiFi, ice delivery to boats along with a maintenance facility and secured docks. The marina also offers 15% off food purchases at Michael’s Harborside as a Cruising Club Member!
Finz, Salem The historic port of Salem is best known for witches, but it’s also packed with
restaurants, among them the boaterfriendly Finz Seafood & Grill. Owner George Carey launched Finz in 2001 at its current location on Pickering Wharf, in the heart of the Salem waterfront, and has kept the place fresh and popular over the years. The dining focus is squarely on seafood, although Finz also serves some delicious meat, chicken and vegetarian dishes. The atmosphere is upscale yet not too fancy, with tasteful artwork and big windows affording views of the water. Outside tables are also available, or you can dine at the bar.

Clockwise: Newburyport Harbor, a fried oyster basket at Finz and a night view of the Barking Crab.
Finz serves an amazing variety of dishes, including fried oysters, fish tacos, burgers, pan-seared scallops, gourmet hamburgers and crispy haddock burritos — all of it delicious. The bartenders also make some great cocktails and maintain an extensive wine list, keeping the place hopping after hours. When arriving by boat, make your way into the channel behind Derby Wharf to Pickering Wharf Marina. Head down the channel leading to the South River and look for an open space along the floating docks to starboard in front of the restaurant. Hail Pickering Wharf Marina (VHF 9) to see about tie-up space and hourly rates. Another option is to grab a mooring in the harbor and catch a ride to the restaurant via the Salem Water Taxi (978-745-6070). This will give you more time to explore Salem
after or before you eat. Another option is docking at Brewer Hawthorne Cove Marina, less than a 12⁄ mile walk to Finz, offering 110 slips for vessels up to 65 feet.
Barking Crab, Boston Although Boston offers a taste of urban boating at its best, dock-and-dine restaurants are hard to come by. One exception is the Barking Crab, tucked away on the Fort Point Channel in South Boston and adjacent to the Federal Courthouse (where Whitey Bolger was recently tried). This popular “seafood shack,” now in its 21st year of operation, offers open-air dining on picnic tables beneath a tent, as well as limited indoor seating. It’s a fun, loud, kid-friendly place — and the food is good, too. The menu features pan-seared scallops, grilled yellowfin tuna, mahi and swordfish,
lobster, baked haddock, snow crab legs, fried clams and other seafood favorites. Non-fish eaters can choose from a range of sandwiches, soups and salads. The bar features a host of local micro-brews and wines. There is one caveat to dining at “The Crab”: The dock is only accessible to vessels that can clear the Northern Avenue bridge (vertical clearance 7 feet MHW ) so be careful of the tide or you might end up staying for longer than you planned. Also, dock space is limited, so calling ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends. For transient dockage stop at Boston Yacht Haven located less than a mile north on Boston’s historic Commercial Wharf or at Constitution Marina located right on the Freedom Trail.

An excellent view of the Boston skyline awaits Waterclub diners.
Waterclub, Quincy Just south of Boston, but still part of Boston Harbor, is the historic city of Quincy, home to Marina Bay on Boston Harbor — the largest marina in the Northeast. The complex features a half-dozen eateries, among them Waterclub, overlooking the docks at Marina Bay and affording excellent views of the Boston skyline and the sunset. The restaurant serves all manner of appetizers, sandwiches, fish tacos, burgers and the like as well as a wide selection of mixed drinks. As its name implies, the Waterclub is a loud and lively place, especially on

summer evenings. It features an indoor and outdoor nightclub with dancing and live entertainment. Large-screen TVs on the patio bar make this a great place to catch the game or watch the boats coming and going from the marina. Marina Bay on Boston Harbor offers 10 cents off per gallon of fuel to Cruising Club Members.
Trader Ed’s, Hyannis Hyannis needs no introduction among cruisers, and neither does this popular waterfront restaurant and bar at Hyannis Marina (to port as you enter the inner harbor). The lively Trader Ed’s rocks in summer, when it features live music and indoor and outdoor seating on the water and by the pool (a special pass is required to use the pool). The restaurant’s appetizers include raw-bar items, crab cakes, coconut shrimp, chili wings, salads and stuffed quahogs, while entrees include swordfish, blackened mahi and steak tips. On the
lighter side, there are sandwiches, burgers, lobster rolls and fried fish and grilled cheese. Short-term dockage can usually be arranged through Hyannis Marina. Another option is to anchor in Lewis Bay and dinghy to the marina.
Summer Shanty, West Dennis Boaters cruising through Nantucket Sound are well advised to take time out to explore the scenic Bass River, which separates the towns of West Dennis and Yarmouth. Along the way, be sure to grab a bite or slake your thirst at the Summer Shanty, at Bass River Marina. True to its name, the Shanty is the quintessential, laidback dock-and-dine spot — the type of place that has become rare in New England. The restaurant offers free dockage, space permitting, and both indoor and outdoor seating on the patio and the covered porch overlooking the marina docks on the beautiful Bass River, just a

few miles from Nantucket Sound. You can also relax with a cocktail or appetizer in the Adirondack chairs arranged on the front lawn — a popular sunset hangout. The atmosphere is mellow and casual, with soft reggae music playing in the background. Live entertainment is the norm on weekend nights. The food is excellent, too, and includes lobster rolls, fish-and-chips, burgers, tuna salad sandwiches, stuffed quahogs and more. The salads are large and fresh, and the French fries are cooked to perfection. Entree prices range from $12 to $20; sandwiches are in the $10 range. Note that the restaurant is located just north of the Rte. 28 fixed bridge, which has a clearance of 15 feet MHW.
Larsen’s Fish Market, Menemsha Fans of idyllic Menemsha Harbor on Martha’s Vineyard are no doubt familiar with Larsen’s Fish Market. Yes, this long-established enterprise sells freshoff-the-boat fish and shellfish, but Larsen’s also serves lobster rolls, boiled lobster, steamed clams and mussels, stuffed quahogs, chowder and raw-bar items, all of which can be enjoyed outside on picnic tables overlooking the harbor and its small fleet of working vessels. It’s a simple, laidback, authentic place — just like Menemsha itself.
Larsen’s Fish Market is known for its fresh-off-the-boat fish.
Boaters can usually find space along the bulkhead, in one of the town-managed transient slips, or on a mooring, but check in with the harbormaster first (508-645-2846). Another option is to anchor in Vineyard Sound, dinghy to the beach and walk the short distance to Larsen’s. No matter how you get there, it’s worth the effort. In fact, you might fall in love with Menemsha and never leave.
The Chart Room, Cataumet First opened in 1966 and occupying a former Jersey Central railroad barge, the Chart Room is a Buzzards Bay boating institution on Red Brook Harbor in Cataumet. Located at Kingman Yacht Center, the Chart Room is a busy place with long waits the norm, especially on weekends. However, most patrons don’t seem to mind, as it affords them ample time to enjoy a cocktail outside and soak in the sunset behind Bassetts Island. The restaurant serves a wide range of appetizers, seafood, steaks, sandwiches and entrees, but the broiled swordfish is a house specialty. Tie up along the facing docks at Kingman, if space is available. If there’s no room, hail the KYC staff on VHF 71 and they can usually find a spot for you on the fuel dock, in an open slip or on a mooring. From a mooring you can either dinghy to the KYC dinghy dock or hop on the launch.
The Back Eddy, Westport For boaters on the southeast coast of Massachusetts, a trip to the Back Eddy on the Westport River is a real treat. Opened in 1999 by celebrated Boston chef Chris Schlesinger, this open, airy restaurant serves mid-upscale cuisine featuring entrees such as wood-grilled Japanese-style ahi tuna, wood-grilled swordfish, fried clams, ovenroasted cod loin, lobster rigatoni and fried New Bedford sea scallops. Interesting apps include the roasted corn and clam chowder, the Back Eddy signature stuffed clams, native steamers, smoked Maine mussels “from hell,” and hand-picked lobster sliders. For sides, you can’t go wrong with the honkey fries and Eddy slaw. Be forewarned that the Back Eddy is a busy place in summer, but you can hang out on the restaurant’s pier and enjoy a beer, glass of wine or cocktail from the outdoor bar while you wait for a table. The sunsets from this vantage point are spectacular. Dockage at the Eddy is limited, but boats up to 25 feet or so can tuck in at the end of the pier. Call the restaurant ahead of time to see about available dock space. For overnight dockage stop at F.L. Tripp & Sons, just west of The Back Eddy on the Westport River. m l

THE HAMPTONS
Hamptons International Film Festival
The Montauk Yacht Club is located on the north end of Lake Montauk.

Alec Baldwin hosts screenings of independent films all summer leading up to the International Film Festival in October. The festival brings out some of the biggest directors and actors including (from left) David Nugent, Oren Moverman and Richard Gere.
THE HAMPTONS, the Original Summer Colony BY C A P T. J E F F W E R N E R
IN THE PAST couple of years popular culture has given The Hamptons a bad rap. What could be worse than being the setting for the TV shows The Real Housewives of New York City and the Kardashian’s Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons? This summer take your boat and find out what the real Hamptons are all about. The Hamptons lie along the South Fork of the eastern end of Long Island, New York between Montauk Point and the Moriches, and are comprised of two dozen villages and hamlets. The most wellknown destinations of this seaside resort are Montauk, East Hampton, Sag Harbor, Southampton, Shinnecock Hills, Quogue and Westhampton. Of course, there is a 60

Northampton as well, and it all can be a bit confusing to the first time visitor since Westhampton and Northampton are legally part of the Town of Southampton. A good cruising guide and spare batteries for your handheld GPS are a must. Long before Andy Warhol, Paul McCartney, Jerry Seinfeld, Christie Brinkley, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kurt Vonnegut and Truman Capote bought homes in The Hamptons, it was the Shinnecock and Montaukett Indian tribes that lived there. When the Long Island Rail Road made its way 90 miles east of New York City to Bridgehampton in 1870, well-to-do Manhattanites gave up the summer heat of the city for the cool breezes on the Atlantic Ocean beaches.
What to Do Summer Events Other than visiting the Montauk Point lighthouse, it’s all about relaxing on the beautiful Atlantic beaches. Don’t forget to pack your beach umbrella, flip flops and a good summer read and head to Cooper’s Beach in Southampton, Ponquogue Beach in Hampton Bays (Shinnecock) or Main Beach in East Hampton. While your summer plans are starting to take shape make sure to add a few of these events to your bucket list. • • The Surf Lodge Concert Series runs every weekend throughout the summer. Sip on your favorite cocktail while listening to the soothing beats of top indie music artists that flock to Montauk. • • Hamptons Film Festival compiles a collection of documentaries, shorts, narrative for any inner filmmaker. Stop by Guild Hall during the weekends in the summer to catch a flick and, of course, to meet Alec Baldwin (hosting the summer series). Check out hamptonsfilmfest.org for more details.

GETTING THERE BY BOAT
Main Street in Southampton has some of the best boutiques and high-end retailers in The Hamptons.
discoverlongisland.com
All the harbors, anchorages and marinas for The Hamptons are most easily accessed by cruising between the North Fork and the South Fork that make up the Fishtail at the eastern tip of Long Island. Whether entering the Fishtail from Long Island Sound or Block Island Sound, spend some time planning your cruise by reviewing the charts of Lake Montauk, Gardiners Bay, Three Mile Harbor, Sag Harbor Bay, Little and Great Peconic Bays, Shinnecock Bay and the Shinnecock Canal. It is possible to enter the Fishtail through Shinnecock Inlet from the Atlantic Ocean, however, the U.S. Coast Pilot advises “the inlet should not be attempted without local knowledge because of the frequent changes in channel depth” and “tidal currents through the inlet can be dangerous; caution is advised.”

SUNTEX MARINAS: One marina company is taking a new approach to the boating industry … Suntex Marinas specializes in developing properties at premier destinations, which on the surface may appear to be no different than any other marina. However, at the heart of Suntex, the company’s mission is to revolutionize the experience for all boating enthusiasts. its current portfolio includes 23 full-service marinas and is steadily growing. The tools and principles that rank Suntex Marinas among the best in the industry include: superior customer service, experienced managers and staff, conscious contributions to the community, and a general enthusiasm for creating memorable experiences on the water. Breaking Down Barriers
Most people walking the docks or stopping into the marine stores are those hoping to enjoy the tranquility of time on their boat. Suntex Marinas wants everyone to be able to enjoy the boating lifestyle, so they developed the Suntex Boat Club. For those who are not quite ready for boat ownership, this members-only club offers a hassle-free introduction to the boating lifestyle. Suntex Boat Club offers their members access to a fleet of top-of-the line pontoons, ski boats, and wakeboard boats, as well as complimentary use of their tubes, skis, and wakeboards. Revitalization of Marina Store Facilities
For boaters requiring supplies, going to a marina for parts that already carry a premium cost is usually seen as a last resort option. However, through strong partnerships with vendors, every Suntex Marina’s store carries the same products available at the same pricing as non-marina stores and catalogs. if a product is not carried, the knowledgeable team will order it to be delivered usually within 24 hours depending on the location and shipping is free.
Cutting-Edge Technology
Through the implementation of the latest software, the Suntex staff is able to focus completely on customer satisfaction. emphasizing an understanding of the needs of its clientele, Suntex is continually evolving. its new software captures details about each purchase so that professional staff can streamline their service for the best possible experience. Developing Community
The Suntex team is dedicated to the guiding principles of what they refer to as “Conscious Capitalism”. The company places its focus on all stakeholders – from guests, team members, service providers, the environment and the communities they belong to- not just shareholders. By developing the community in which it operates, Suntex has found rapid, yet sustainable growth. “We embrace and support some amazing community programs,” said Chris Petty, president, Suntex Marinas. “For example, the Folds of Honor Foundation (foldsofhonor.org) is our primary beneficiary. We began our nationwide campaign with Folds of Honor in 2012 on 4th of July weekend, which has become the annual kick-off weekend for Patriot Boating days. The initiative encourages marinas, manufacturers, boat dealers, retailers and anyone participating in boating to make charitable contributions to the foundation during the month of July.” m l

S
ince Sophie and Bailey made their first appearance on the cover of Marinalife’s Summer 2014 issue, several members have wanted to know a little more about them. We talked their owners, Bob & Dori Arrington, into letting us follow them on their winter adventure. These two Portuguese Water Dogs are no strangers to sea travel, having spent their entire lives traveling on Bob & Dori’s boat, Liberdade, their 54-foot Ocean Alexander Trawler. So hop on board with Sophie and Bailey as they head south to their favorite ports on Liberdade, which by the way means “Freedom” in Portuguese!
Southport, N.C. The Carolina coasts are famous for quaint seaside villages, rich in history and proudly preserved, local merchants welcome cruising boaters to stop and stay for a while. We did just that in the picturesque town of Southport, N.C. Located at the mouth of the Cape Fear River, Southport is a great base to use while visiting other nearby communities such as Baldhead Island and Wrightsville Beach. Abbi and John at Southport Marina made us feel right at home. A short walk from the marina brings you to an eclectic collection of shops and restaurants around the old harbor and fishing village. A slightly longer walk takes you to the wide assortment of merchants in the beautifully preserved downtown area. One of the town’s greatest treasures is its collection of well-cared-for historic homes.

St. Augustine, Fla. It was a cold December and January as we made our way south through the Carolinas and Georgia, but arrival in St. Augustine finally gave us a day warm enough to sit on the front of the boat and enjoy the sunny afternoon at Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor. Sophie and Bailey particularly enjoyed it, given the fact we had trimmed their coats for warmer weather before leaving
MarinaLife_Summer 15_67-132_MarinaLife Template 6/15/15 11:01 AM Page 67
Vero Beach, Fla. Vero Beach was one of our favorite stops. We were welcomed into a small group of cruisers that use Vero as their base for the winter. Many coming from as far away as Canada. We are already making plans to stop at Vero Beach City Marina next year to reconnect. Sophie and Bailey made friends with Brandi, a 3-year-old Portuguese Water Dog that took them to her favorite beach for a romp in the waves. Vero Beach has earned its reputation as “Velcro Beach” because of how easy it is to get stuck there. With a great main street shopping district, beautiful board walk and beach it’s hard not to want to just stay for a while.
Marco Island, Fla.
Boca Grande Key, Fla. Many think of Key West as the end of the Florida Keys, but the Keys continue for another 60 miles with 25 more Island Keys to visit. It’s just that none of these are permanently inhabited. Boca Grande Key, approximately 12 miles west of Key West certainly has plenty of inhabitants on warm sunny weekend days. This is a favorite destination for boaters out of Key West. With warm shallow water and a protected beach, it’s a great place to anchor the boat and enjoy a picnic.
Traveling on the boat each day makes it difficult for Sophie and Bailey to get enough exercise. Being members of the working dog group, retrieval was one of the Portuguese Water Dog’s primary jobs on commercial fishing boats. There was a nice beach next to the Marco Island Marina where they could swim out and bring a toy back to us. I guess it also didn’t hurt they knew a small treat was waiting for them if they brought the toy back. m l To view this article online, visit marinalife.com/SophieBailey

MAINE’S
Great Lobster Festival S TO R Y A N D P H OTO S BY P E T E R M . S P O O N E R A N D PA U L K E TC H U M
As
undergraduates at one of Maine’s finest universities, we shared an appreciation for the beauty of that state’s coasts and a tolerant understanding of the oft-repeated claim that lobsters from those pristine waters were the best of the best, with meat that was sweetly succulent, tasted of the ocean and was unmatched anywhere. The merits of this Great Maine Lobster Hypothesis came up again last summer at a landmark reunion, leading to the idea that a re-examination of the hypothesis might be a savvy excuse for some late summer cruising and a chance to catch up on what had been learned on and off the water in the decades since our graduation. Since both of us had recently exited full-time careers, a cruise to the Grand Rockland Lobster Festival, one of Fodor Travel’s top 10 summer food events, quickly emerged as the best idea for the reunion.

A lobsterman’s day usually starts at 4:30 a.m. and goes until dark.
Over 30,000 people attend the Maine Lobster Festival each year.
Before it was known as the lobster capital of the world, Rockland was known for its shipbuilding and lime production. Top: Paul ketchum (left) and Peter M. Spooner (right) Above: Over 125 million pounds of lobster were caught in Maine in 2013.
We were regular boat mates in our earlier days, and both of us had soloed “wet” long before legal highway driving — Paul is from Woods Hole and Peter is from Newport. So with a bit of rust and partial recall of semi-competence, we agreed to meet on Mount Desert Island for the 45ish-nautical mile run across deep, azure, largely calm waters to the lobster festival in Rockland aboard Paul’s 38-foot Sabre Bald Eagle. Mount Desert is quintessential Down East Maine, a popular summer destination with spectacular outdoor activities — think Acadia National Park — as well as resorts, restaurants, golf, and shopping. It hosts a sizeable year-round population, with facilities such as the renowned Jackson Research Labs and College of the Atlantic, not to mention the many skilled craftsmen creating masterworks
from the likes of Hinckley and Morris. Following the short drive from Portland, we provisioned at the lovely village close to laid-back Northeast Municipal Marina before partaking in a proper night’s culinary send-off at Asticou Inn. The next morning we departed early into lingering fog, heading out toward the popular Western Way and the fields of lobster pots and floats that demand slow and careful navigation. A bow spotter and perhaps shaft cutters are helpful in this
situation, but if you catch a line be sure to re-tie it: Lobster pots are how they make a living here. Our route through Casco Passage and the string of more than 60 islands that mark Merchant Row was simply beautiful. After that it was easy motoring across Penobscot Bay to a mooring in North Haven’s protected Pulpit Harbor. It was a full day’s run, but thanks to a chance encounter with Eileen, a cruising friend who’d charmed a kayak’s load of SUMMER 2015

all-volunteer enterprise that celebrates not just the mighty lobster but many of the state’s other treasures as well. Support from corporate sponsors, vendors, and modest admissions fees help maintain the town’s maritime facilities and many municipal, medical, and senior services.
The Rockland Festival is a lobster-lover’s fantasy
There were 78 floats in last year’s Big Parade at the Festival — an all-time record.
The Lobster Crate Race consists of 50 crates filled with seaweed to help them float that are connected to two docks. The object is to cross as many lobster crates as possible without falling into the Harbor. Last year, the record was set by a 7-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy who both ran over 6,500 crates.
little “chicken” lobsters from a passing lobsterman and then graciously cooked them up for both our well-worn crews, life got seriously better. It was a great first taste of the journey’s prey, perfectly coupled with a California white wine and a beautiful sunset. The next day we were off from Pulpit Rock to Rockland. We made fast at a reserved-well-in-advance berth at Journey’s End Marina (207-594-4444, journeysendmarina.com), a welcoming, comprehensive facility that’s a frequent base for CCA cruisers and New York Yacht Clubbers alike and an ideal home 72
marinalife.com
from which to enjoy the lobster festival. Unfortunately our arrival coincided with a warm rain, so rather than catch the crowning of that year’s festival Sea Goddess, we found a patisserie for coffee and sweets and then visited the wonderful Wyeth and American Impressionist collections at the Farnsworth Art Museum. Afterward we took a quick trip through the historic Lighthouse Museum, then headed back to the marina for onboard libations and dinner. The weather for the rest of our stay was, fortunately, bright and cheery. The festival is truly a communitywide,
For us, highlights included our rigorous sampling of various preparations of the cold-water critters; checking out the lobster cooking contest; and enjoying the wide range of musical events, from rock to country (Willie even made an appearance not too long ago). Each morning there’s an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast while the world’s largest lobster cookers are busy preparing lunch and dinner. More than 20,000 pounds of “bugs,” brought in fresh daily, are steamed throughout the festival. Traditional accompaniments include corn and slaw, and the buttered rolls stuffed with pure luscious claw meat were the best we could remember. Between meals, there are carnival rides, 5K & 10K races, a parade, and many arts and craft exhibitions. Without a doubt, the star attraction for pure fun was the Great Lobster Crate Race, for which fearless youths race across a string of floating lobster crates until they hit one of the foot-tripping rope loops, fall into the drink, and are pulled to safety by the waiting skiff captains. A hoot! The Rockland Festival is a lobsterlover’s fantasy, piles of fun wrapped in he welcoming spirit that pervades this close-knit community. It gets our vote as one of the best reasons for late-summer New England cruising. The 2015 Festival is from July 29 to August 2, and a detailed agenda is posted at mainelobster festival.com. And oh, as for the hypothesis: Confirmed! The lobster was as good as it ever gets. m l To view this article online, visit marinalife.com/lobsterfest

of the cruising lifestyle with family and friends is extremely rewarding. It brings people closer together and provides opportunities to learn new skills, enjoy nature, and have fun in a relaxed environment.

one of my criteria was to have a second stateroom so that we could invite our children or friends to join us. As it turned out, the boat we fell in love with did not have a spare room. Peter convinced me that we wouldn’t need it, that it would seldom be used as sleeping quarters and would most likely be the catchall space for spare boat parts and extraneous stuff. After one season of boating, I had no doubt he
was right. As of now, after nine years and 20,000 miles of cruising, we have had other people on board with us only five times, and for short periods of no longer than a week. We discovered that a great way to handle overnight excursions when we invite family or friends is to find marinas near hotels or bed and breakfasts. Peter and I sleep on board, and our guests

Often, a bonus is that Peter and I can enjoy some of the land amenities offered to our guests such as pools and restaurants. Our most memorable time cruising with guests was when our boat first arrived in the Pacific Northwest. Peter and I were

excited to share our love for the cruising lifestyle with his parents who, up to this time, had been following our journeys from afar through our photos, stories, and texts. Where better to make them part of our adventure than in the beloved San Juan/Canadian Gulf Islands where Peter spent many of his childhood summers. Peter’s parents live on Orcas Island year-round, so that was our logical starting
point. For this cruise, we planned to space our stops so that we were underway no more than three hours at a time, so we tracked down inns and dining venues that could accommodate this. We normally create a tentative itinerary, keeping the schedule flexible in case of weather challenges, but in this instance we needed to make reservations for overnight accommodations well before knowing the weather. Our timing for this trip was after Labor Day, so most summer vacationers had returned home, and we found that many of the hotels and inns would not charge cancellation fees if we gave them 24-hour notice. This meant that if we needed to rearrange our schedule due to weather we would not be penalized. Fortunately the weather was perfect — spectacularly clear and calm sunny days. Our first day we picked up Peter’s parents at Deer Harbor Marina and cruised to Poet’s Cove Marina, Resort and Spa in Bedwell Harbor on Pender in the Canadian Gulf Islands. Not only is it a full-service resort community, but it is also one of the locations of the Canadian customs office, which was ideal, since we had to pass through customs to travel in the Canadian Gulf Islands. We enjoyed a stunning sunset from the deck of the resort, followed by a great meal. The next port of call was Salt Spring Marina on Salt Spring Island. We picked this marina because it is next door to the wonderful, British-style Hastings House inn, which has an award-winning restaurant. Peter’s parents stayed the night in one of their 18 suites, and the four of us dined in the restaurant. What fun for Peter and I to be able to enjoy the stunning views and beautiful gardens of this country house hotel set on the hill above the marina. Our last stop was Roche Harbor on the north side of San Juan Island, where we passed through U.S. customs and re-entered U.S. waters. Roche Harbor is home to one of the two major marinas on San Juan Island. The other is in Friday Harbor, the largest town in the San Juans. The two properties contrast greatly in atmosphere. Friday Harbor is a bustling SUMMER 2015

The Skipper By Dorothy W. Trogdon
Each morning he goes down under the floor of the cabin, to check fan belts, filters, exhaust. Up again, floor replaced, he moves to the console, flicks three or four switches. A rumble arises from below like a great beast awakening beneath him, then slowly sliding forward on heavy sea-paws, forsaking the land to move out over the trackless waters.

port with car ferries, commercial boats and pleasure yachts. Roche Harbor, on the other hand, is reminiscent of days gone by, with a historic waterfront hotel and classic yachts in the stunning, naturally protected harbor. It is busy with boat and seaplane traffic yet relaxing and peaceful. We reserved rooms for Peter’s folks in the contemporary boutique hotel on the hill. Accommodations are also available in Hotel de Haro, the oldest continually operating hotel in Washington State. There is no town along the shore of this harbor, but a small grocery market and both casual and formal restaurants are available to marina guests. More like a yacht club than a marina, Roche Harbor caters to the upscale cruising crowd and at the same time is casual and family friendly. Part of the charm of this nautical community is its nod to the yachting traditions of earlier times. Every evening just before sunset, from early May to the end of September, a traditional color ceremony is held. The dock staff retires the flags to music and the boom of a cannon. Following this
ceremony, announcements about weather and special events are made. My favorite moment of our four-day cruise was watching Peter arm-in-arm with his parents, standing at attention during this special ceremony. What a wonderful conclusion to a magical vacation. The next morning, we cruised at a leisurely pace the short distance back to Deer Harbor Marina, all of us relishing the amazing gift of spending just the right amount of time underway, balanced by the beautiful settings, perfect weather, memorable meals and great company. Peter’s dad had an opportunity to take the helm, contribute to route planning and discuss vessel maintenance challenges, while his mom developed an appreciation for her son’s nautical skills and enjoyed the Pacific Northwest from a new on-the-water perspective. She wrote a touching poem called “The Skipper” in Peter’s honor following this excursion aboard the vessel Bee Weems. m l To view this article online, visit marinalife.com/PNWBandB

State Tax Laws for Boaters Expert advice from an Annapolis maritime lawyer BY B O B A R R I N G TO N
F
or many of us our boats represent a sense of adventure hard to duplicate elsewhere in our lives. We purchased them with dreams of cruising to distant harbors and exploring waters far from home. Or many have purchased their boats to become their homes, freeing themselves of a permanent address. so what happens to the dream of cruising when you receive a letter from a state’s tax authority stating you owe them taxes for using your boat in their waters? all states require boats above a certain size to have some form of registration, although some may accept federal documentation in lieu of state registration. in addition to requirements for registration, many states require some sort of tax to be paid for boats purchased or used within the state. There are three types of taxes which can be levied on boats by state and local governments; sales tax, use tax and personal property tax. some states collect all three and some states collect none. This is further complicated by local county government’s involvement in personal property taxes. Due to the
78
marinalife.com
potentially high cost of these taxes on expensive boats, many owners have gone to great lengths to minimize or avoid these taxes all together when purchasing their boats. as budget strapped states look for additional revenue, many have increased their patrolling of marinas looking for boats registered out of state. They are casting a wide net, looking for anyone suspect of violating their tax policy in hopes of catching the few that are. Unfortunately, a number of innocent boaters just out cruising or living aboard are being caught in that net in the process. Because this can be such a complicated issue, we’ve asked an expert to contribute to this subject with us. Dirk schwenk of Baylaw, LLc is an attorney based in annapolis specializing in maritime law. Dirk has written extensively on boat tax policy and offers registration and tax consulting for anyone purchasing a boat. in our conversations with Dirk we learned there are two separate questions on this tax issue, one is: How to minimize or avoid paying tax on a boat when it is purchased? Which we are not addressing in this article. The other is assuming
the boat was lawfully purchased and registered in a state, regardless of whether that state collects “sales tax” or not: How does a boater keep from paying the “use tax” while traveling to other states that may be attempting to collect taxes just for using the boat in that state’s waters? If our members want us to help them plan a summer cruise to New England or winter cruise to Florida, how can they know they are not going to be in violation of a state’s “use tax” policy? “Use tax defies simple answers, because every state is different and most states treat their residents differently from the rest of the public. That said, if you purchased a boat in a non-tax state you will be largely safe from enforcement if you are truly cruising (in the sense of moving between various states every couple of months) and you do not have the boat in your state of residence (new Jersey, for example, asserts the right to tax a resident’s boat on the first day it is in the state). i generally try to put
MarinaLife_Summer 15_67-132_MarinaLife Template 6/19/15 11:20 AM Page 79
my clients in a position where their boat is most often in a state that: 1) They like to cruise. 2) They are safe from tax because they either have paid some tax or because they have a definitive exemption. 3) If their plans change, they send me a quick email to go over their float plan. There are several states that have capped their use tax or have exceptions for boats that are not purchased there, so once established in such a location, a boat owner can feel secure that they will not be bothered. Florida can be very tax-friendly for people that are not residents, do not own real property or are otherwise not closely tied to the state.” So if I understand your answer above correctly, a boater does not necessarily have to register their boat where they live and where it is registered can affect the ease with which they can travel from state to state? “Correct. Generally a boat must register in the state in which it is used most, so the boat’s location is more important than the owner’s location. For some boats, it

79
MarinaLife_Summer 15_67-132_MarinaLife Template 6/15/15 11:04 AM Page 80
is difficult to identify the main place of use, so I generally try to have those boats initially register in a location that has a connection to the boat and then change the registration if the boat later comes to rest in a particular state. I do not

recommend that a boat be in the United States with no identified state — it draws too many questions. For the very large vessel, a capped state like Florida or Maryland is a good option, since the tax 80
marinalife.com
amounts are not that large relative to the value of the vessel and they are desirable states in which to locate and do not have personal property tax. Depending on circumstances, Florida may not require any tax.” with the approach states are using, what should our members do if they receive a letter from a state attempting to collect a tax on their boat?
“First they should look at it and see whether it is an assessment of tax (the equivalent of a tax bill) or a letter of inquiry. An assessment is much more serious and typically has a very short period in which it can be appealed. If it is an assessment for a significant amount of money, they should consider hiring counsel that specializes in maritime law. A letter is somewhat less serious and if there is a simple and honest answer (such as “I keep my boat in Delaware”), an owner can simply respond. Counsel should almost certainly be consulted if there is
a significant penalty (indicating that the assessor suspects fraud); if the amount of money at issue is fairly high (say over $10,000) or out of line with the value of the boat; or if the taxability of the boat is going to be a close call, and a slip of the tongue may be the end of the defense. For those owners that will spend significant time in the Caribbean, offshore ownership is a topic that should at least be considered in making plans for the use and tax of the vessel. Additionally, any owners with a high value boat that has not paid any sales tax, they should have a tax plan before they are contacted by tax authorities, not after.” As you can see this can be a complicated issue with costly consequences if not managed properly.

Manasquan Inlet also serves a large commercial fleet.
Shore to Please THOugH New JeRSey may be best known for Bruce Springsteen, “The Sopranos” and a boisterous governor, the state’s 127 miles of coastline boasts some of the finest fishing found on the planet. while it’s possible to enjoy good fishing for a variety of species year ‘round, including winter months, the best opportunities to score some of the tastiest fish in the brine are during the popular summer months of June through September. From the back bays, rivers and near-shore waters on out to the offshore canyons you’ll find a plethora of hungry gamefish to tangle with utilizing a variety of tactics and tackle. Manasquan Inlet separates the town of Manasquan and borough of Point Pleasant Beach and also provides passage from the calm waters of the Manasquan 82
marinalife.com
River to the Atlantic Ocean. The inlet is deep, clearly marked and well defined thanks to large jetties on each side. Once inside the inlet you’ll pass Manasquan to the north side of the river followed immediately by the Borough of Brielle where you’ll find transient, seasonal and year-round dockage. Hoffman’s Marina east (732-528-6200) lies just before the Railroad Bridge that services New Jersey Transit’s North Jersey Coastline, and this 50-slip marina can accommodate vessels up to 120 feet. Fuel, bait, ice, waste pump out, showers, electric and cable TV are available, and there’s an IgFA certified scale to weigh your catch. Just beyond the Railroad Bridge, also along the north side of the river, lies Hoffman’s Marina west. This full-service marina, which underwent a complete overhaul since its purchase in

2012, includes a complete service center including two travel lifts. Seasonal, transient and year-round slips are available as well as rack storage for vessels up to 36 feet. Other amenities include a fully stocked White marlin are summer visitors to the canyons off New Jersey.

Ship’s Store, high-speed fueling, waste pump-out, ample shore power, showers and an in-ground swimming pool. Immediately adjacent to Hoffman’s West is Waypoint 622, the newest member of the Hoffman’s Marina family and home to the restaurant of the same name that recently opened and received kudos for its contemporary American cuisine prepared with prime meat from local farms and wild-caught seafood. While rebuilding and updating the docks at Waypoint 622 is still underway, transient boaters are still welcome to tie up for dinner or even overnight. Whether you’re a kayaker, center console angler or bluewater battlewagon owner, there’s a species for you.

to swim among the bait schools and river anglers casting rubber baits. Fluke (summer flounder) can be found in rivers and bays as well as on snags, wrecks and reefs along the coast. The annual migration of mako sharks along the 30 Fathom Curve and beyond gets underway while offshore canyons begin to yield catches of yellowfin and big eye tuna to those trolling natural baits and artificial lures. Depending on water temperature and bait arrival, the first blue marlin and white marlin will also be caught. Catches of most of the species previously noted get even better in July though striped bass numbers will drop off as water temperatures rise. The same goes for August, though mako sharks become scarce due to warm water. For the latest in fishing information and what rigs, baits and lures are producing best, several fully stocked tackle shops dot the area and are staffed with local pros who can offer tips and tricks for every species. For a day away from the boat, beautiful sandy beaches, quaint shops and boutiques and excellent restaurants can be found in downtown Manasquan for those seeking handmade crafts, clothing, artwork, jewelry, linens and antiques. You can keep the kids happy away from the beach or pool at a variety of T-shirt, ice cream, fudge and
Fishing is one of America’s most enduring pastimes, something in which people of all ages can participate and an activity that millions of families and friends enjoy each year as a way to spend quality time in the outdoors. Professional charter fishing with a licensed captain and crew is one of the most exhilarating outdoor activities in the world but has historically been expensive until now. A new company called Share A Fishing Charter introduces a new way to fish. It built the world’s first online booking system that sells individual spots on fishing charters, finally giving anglers an affordable way to book and experience professional fishing. It allows you the option of booking one, two or more spots and share the cost with other anglers. The savings grow as more join the group. Learn more at: shareafishingcharter.com.
saltwater taffy shops plus miniature golf. The Point Pleasant boardwalk is a short drive away with games, rides, arcades and an aquarium.

Since its discovery in 1614 by John Smith, Boston Harbor has been an important shipping port and home to many historical events including the Boston Tea Party.
Diggin’ Collecting Clams in Boston BY V I C TO R I A A L L M A N
The wet sand squished between my toes. “dig deeper.” James, my clam-diggin’ new friend, instructed. “They’re down there.” We were just outside of Boston searching for lunch on the beach. Actually, we were in the shallows with the Atlantic biting cold on my ankles. Summer had fled and autumn, although named on the calendar, seemed to be skipped over for the harsher temperatures of winter. Yet, there I was, in shorts and a sweater standing in the surf, shivering and wondering just what was I thinking. Like Lucy Ricardo squishing grapes for wine with her feet, James was teaching me to dig for clams with my toes. “With no scratch rake or tongs, you can always find clams just by feeling.” He paused and wiggled his left leg. He rolled his white collared shirtsleeve up to the 88

elbow, bent down, and stuck his hand into the water. He pulled a gray half-mooned bivalve with brown rings wrapping around its surface from the sand. His rough work-worn hands with dirt under the nails showed stitches from past battles with shells. “Here’s one.” “How did you do that?” I wiggled my feet around, searching for my own lunch. James laughed and then coughed. Years of cold New England winters and a life on the sea had graveled his voice and weathered his hands but hadn’t thawed his love of treading for clams. Every time I’d visited the area, I’d asked around for someone to take me digging and finally had been introduced to James, a first mate on a swordfish boat in Gloucester. He’d agreed to show me how to dig, old-school-style, with just our senses. I’d picked up my shellfish permit that morning and was eager to gather enough mollusks to make chowder that afternoon.
I thought it would be easier, and kicked myself for being so eager to do this without the modern-day tools of a rake or shovel. “When the tide rolls out, look for small round holes in the sand. That’s where they’ll be.” James chucked his clam into the steel bucket at the water’s edge. I groped through the muck, scrunching my toes as directed but came up empty footed. “At this rate, I better stop at The Clam Box on the way home if I’m going to have clams for lunch.” “Not to worry. They’ll be clams for chowda.” His thick Boston accent held confidence enough for both of us. The clams we searched for were a sweet, saltwater, soft-shelled clam that have been dug on these shores for hundreds of years. They are also called long-necks for the rubbery siphon that protrudes from their shell, which are thinner than other varieties such as the
MarinaLife_Summer 15_67-132_MarinaLife Template 6/17/15 4:12 PM Page 89
little-neck or cherry stone. Restaurants for miles around specialize in fried clam strips and stuffed clams. They are served raw, steamed, and in clam pastas. The uses are endless. People of the area were known not to even leave the beach after collecting the local delicacy. They’d dig a deep hole in the sand and build a fire of driftwood. Seaweed collected from the shoreline would be strewn on top of the hot rocks with their clams tucked inside. All of this was covered with a tarp and a layer of sand and left to roast for hours, steaming the clams open and creating a New England clam bake. James reached down and plucked another from the sand and pulled a multi-tool from his pocket. He snapped the knife attachment open and dug it between the two halves of the clam’s shell, popping the hinge and opening it like a book. Using the tip of the knife, he scraped a lingering fragment of shell from the liquid around the muscle and handed it to me. “Here. Try one.” I tipped my head back, sucking the nugget from its home. Salty brine slipped down my throat as I bit into the chewy, rich clam. I swallowed and smiled. “Delicious.” James just nodded. After an hour, my lips were blue, my teeth chattered, and my flesh was covered in goose bumps. I looked into my bucket and its measly half-dozen clams. “Just how many of these things do I need for a bowl of soup?” With a wink and a gruff laugh he slapped his knee and said, “How about you stick to cooking, and I’ll do the diggin’?” That’s all the encouragement I needed to scamper back up the beach, wrap a wool blanket around my frozen toes and observe the digging instead of participating in the oceanfront foraging. m l
