Do West Palm Beach like a local By Staff Report When it’s time to get off the yacht during the boat show, it helps to know what the locals know. So we asked a few of the crew we knew who spend a lot of time in West Palm Beach, as well as some business people, for a well rounded bit of local knowledge. Here are their recommendations for places to lunch (within walking distance of the show), best happy hours, where to unwind at the end of the day, and what crew should not miss while in town. From Chef Peter Ziegelmeier, formerly on a yacht based in West Palm Beach:

Best place for lunch: E.R. Bradley’s saloon and Roccos Tacos, both on Clematis. Best happy hour: Roxy’s Rooftop Pub. Don’t miss: City Place, housing Ziegelmeier the famous Blue Martini bar, Taverna Opa (they don’t smash the plates anymore, but by evening’s end you are adorned in cocktail napkins randomly arranged all over you and maybe a straw or two stuck in your hair), BB King’s blues bar,

Bingo card for eagle-eyed crew Second Stew Tehane Brown is more than a stew. Aside from her job on M/Y Life’s Finest II, a 132-foot Northcoast, she finds time for her creativity.

We asked her to share her humor with fellow crew in Boat Show Bingo. Grab a pen and head to the stern to mark off the sights from your aft deck.

Clematis Street not just for tourists LOCALS, from page 1 and the world famous Improve comedy club. My favorite being the Cheesecake Factory offering a slew of interesting house cocktails, ice cold draft beer, an incredible book-like menu with global cuisine. Try the avocado eggrolls or, my favorite, the chicken marsala. From Kathy Maxted of Bush Brothers Provisions: Best place for lunch: E.R. Bradleys, Bahama Mama’s Island Bar and Grill, Hot Pie and Pizza. Best happy Maxted hour: Clematis Street is full of great places. Amazingly, The Breakers has half price on some drinks and wines at The Tapestry Bar from 5-7 p.m. Great excuse to look around the property. Lovely and relaxing, exactly opposite of the energetic Clematis Street. Unwind at: Cucina, and Nick and Johnnie’s on Palm Beach (still walkable) and on Clematis it’s E.R.Bradleys. Don’t miss: The Breakers. Just go and wander around. It is an amazing place. The Seafood Bar has a bar that is an aquarium overlooking the ocean. Also, go see the bathroom door at Sloan’s Ice Cream. (No clues from me.). And the Norton Museum. From Jim Hawkins, dock attendant at the Town of Palm Beach Marina: Best happy hour: The Colony Hotel (if you ask, they put out hors d’oeurves), Taboo, Hawkins and Nick and Johnny’s Sports Bar. Saturday night at the Colony Hotel pool bar is reggae night. Unwind: Anywhere on the beach. Don’t miss: The trail on Palm Beach.

It starts at Worth Avenue on the west side of the island and goes north for four miles. You can roller blade, bike or walk/run.

CHECKING THE TIDE: Triton Today’s Question of the Day

What one thing do you always carry with you when you work on yachts?

Stay in the Loop Get news alerts and event invitations through The Triton e-mail blast. Register at www.the-triton.com

Yacht crew are usually far from home, living in tight crew quarters. We thought maybe they brought special things from home to liven up their cabins. We were wrong. Most of the crew we talked to won’t leave home without their personal electronics, including cell phones, laptops and iPods. Plenty, too, bring along their own work gear, including Leathermans, EPIRBs, hand-held radios and GPSes. Even psuedo-work gear like sunglasses were mentioned as the most important items never to leave home without. Only a few crew would never leave port without something personal. Read on. – Lucy Reed

Stew Sarah Miller M/Y Luna Sea “You have everything you need on the boat. I guess I always have a spare Tshirt and a good pair of shades.�

Capt. John Wampler Aboard the new Northcoast 125 “Besides my EPIRB and all the stuff I work with, I have 40-50 DVDs, my cell phone. My phone, which besides all the nav stuff has games on it, and a pair of comfortable shoes.� His movies tend toward romantic comedies and action/adventure. “Top Gun is required on any boat, and has been for years.�

First Mate/Eng. JD Hapner M/Y Claire 115’ Broward Takes a collection of books but doesn’t trade them or give them away. He favors murder mysteries, especially those by John D. MacDonald, Randy Wayne White. He may take as many as 10 along with him, depending on the trip. “I don’t want to run out.�

Deck Tom Miller M/Y Luna Sea “I always have my deck knife, a multitool and rigging tape. And to prove it ‌â€? He bent down and opened his backpack, and pulled out all three, plus a headlamp. When pressed, Miller also admitted he carried a little bag of lucky charms that included a St. Christopher medal, a Hawaiian god carving, and a coin with an angel on it.)

First Mate Michael Robb M/Y Quisisana 80’ Lazzara “A knife, and I’ve always got to have my Leatherman. It’s always good to have.�

Capt. Russ Grandinetti M/Y Besilu 100’ Hatteras Simply pulled his folding knife out of his pocket. “And my Leatherman. It’s the one way to get out of all problems. And I don’t carry a cell phone; all the newer captains have that.�

Capt. Matt George M/Y Temptation 123’ Palmer Johnson “My Leatherman. Every deck crew should have one.� Most yachts don’t provide them to the crew, but some do. One boat George worked on gave them to the deck crew, and if they stayed a year, they got top keep it. “But I had to buy mine.�
