Journey to Whaling Days with SeaWife by Rebecca Nimerfroh Melodic throws of chorus lead the mind to conjure up visions of overhead, foamy emerald waves, and of an old wooden whaling ship as it slams down upon the sea. One almost wants to strengthen their footing for the next big wave, anticipate the cry of a seagull overhead, and touch their face half expecting the salty sheen of sea air, but this is just a production of the musical hit SeaWife, running now until September 1 at The White Heron Theatre, and you are just an audience member along for the ride, an adventure you won’t soon forget. SeaWife is a journey of the senses, carried by a series of songs that are impressively performed by all seven cast members, contributing members of the band The Lobbyists, who never, not even for a single moment, seem to break from character. In fact, each performer, often tasked with playing multiple roles, has his own starring moment in this beautiful and powerful tale of love, death, and the hard whaling days of the past. The play opens with the relatable and innocent Percy, an optimistic whaler who falls head over heels for Therese, a bar wench in a coastal town. Percy eventually warms her hardened heart, and it is truly beautiful to watch as he introduces this love to the other woman in his life – the sea, which will ultimately take him away for years at a time. Their romance is doomed, however, when tragedy hits, and from this moment on, told dramatically with lighting effects and song, Therese thus becomes the “SeaWife,” a sort of dark angel that haunts not only Percy but also his other shipmates at sea. In the second half of the production, the other characters of the ensemble come to life, with Alex Grubbs who plays Philip, Gibbs, and Bertram, and the impressive Will Turner who plays Pegg. Directed by Liz Carlson, this play is powerfully carried by each talented cast member, particularly Tommy Craw-

Keeper of the Constellations by Robert P. Barsanti

TOPPER’S BY WATER Arrive in style for lunch or dinner aboard The Wauwinet Lady. Complimentary cruise departing from the White Elephant

AT T H E WAU W I N E T NANTUCKET Reservations required | 508.228.8768 Book the 11am boat for lunch; 5pm boat for dinner. ToppersRestaurant.com Wine Spectator Grand Award, 22 consecutive years Zagat Survey Top Rated Restaurant, New England

After I got the call, I spent an hour or so in my mother’s photo albums. During one of my mother’s chemotherapy summers, she organized a life-time of snapshots and Polaroids into a series of books. Film, in particular Polaroid film, was expensive. As a result, the albums are a collection of birthday parties, trips to the beach, Christmas mornings, and christenings. My sister made her debut on the tenth page of the first album, after the pictures of the last Swiss ski trip, my introduction into the world, and the Fourth of July Tiki party. In her first photo, she is in her christening gown and lying on the sofa. From there, my mother’s life work proceeds in an orderly and sedate pace through the rest of the Polaroids to Instamatic to 35mm fancy pictures. My sister won swimming medals, played in concerts, and displayed art: paintings, embroidery, and sculpture. Her last photographs, in my mother’s volumes, come at a terminal in Logan Airport where our parents and I accompanied her to the gate for her flight to San Francisco and the West Coast. My sister’s volumes have not yet been collected. Her life has been essentially American; she just kept moving west until she eventually landed on a mountainside in Hawaii. Her art trailed behind her as she travelled. After two summers on Nantucket, she left some watercolors, some sketches, and one good sized painting. In my best older brother way, I had rolled the painting up and stuck it into an old golf bag in the shed amid the bikes, the old chairs, and the eight pairs of crutches. After the call, I went exploring through cellars and closets for pictures and artwork, then exhumed the canvas. “The Keeper of the Constellations” is an odd and colorful painting. It displays a spray of yellow stars and dark sky behind a parade of glowing constellations, interrupted by a brown and gold Egyptian staff held by a robed continued on page 25

Eye on Style Craftsmanship in His Heart & Soul by Sanibel Chai Upon entering Reubin Simantov’s store, you find yourself awash in mythology, history, and dreams. No subject is too fantastic or off limits. Horses, snakes, gargoyles, urchins, panthers, fish, bats, honeybees, insects, and molluscs adorn Reubin’s jeweled designs. Diamond ant brooches, dangling octopus earrings, and a maple leaf necklace barely scratch the surface of Reubin’s imagination, which has won him clients around the world. He speaks of his design approach as “organic and oceanic,” which is evident in the astral, floral, and nautical motifs. A glance at the shell collection (small bunches of various shells made of 18k yellow, pink gold, and silver) and Nantucket’s influence on Reubin’s designs is evident. Reubin’s introduction to Nantucket was auspicious as it was serendipitous. Seated next to Darcy Creech of Peter Beaton for a fundraiser in Connecticut, Reubin noticed that an overwhelming number of people who purchased his jewelery also purchased a hat and vice versa. Astounded at their overlapping clientele, Reubin asked Darcy where Peter Beaton was located. He had never heard of Nantucket. Theirs was a star-crossed meeting and in 2003 Reubin first shared his jewelry with the island from the courtyard of Peter Beaton. He has since displayed in the Nantucket Hotel and at a shop on South Beach Street. At present, you can see his designs at his shop within J. Robinson on 2 South Beach Street. Reubin is quick to dismiss the title “designer.” He consistently refers to the continued on page 30

Art Imitates Life NANTUCKET Imitates Art WALKING TOURS Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) is hosting a mid-summer exhibition entitled Art Imitates Life Imitates Art, kicking off with an opening reception on Friday, August 4, 6 to 8 pm. The exhibition will be on display through Monday, August 14 downtown in the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, 19 Washington Street. “Considering we are in the midst of the summer season when the sidewalks are crowded, the streets are congested, the beaches are swarming, and the traffic is at a standstill, yet the island gardens are at their peak, the hydrangeas are dazzling, the harbor is full of majestic sailboats and soaring gulls call out to any who will listen, we thought it the prefect time to feature an exhibition that reflects life and showcases all that is around us,” said Peter J. Greenhalgh, AAN gallery manager. “The exchange of art illustrating life imitating art should prove very insightful since every artist has their own vision, and each artist is invited to bring in two medium sized works or one large one,” added Greenhalgh. The Solo Show Spotlight Artist during Art Imitates Life Imitates Art is painter Elizabeth Congdon, “Painting for me is a very passionate endeavor. I see it as a diary written with pigment and brush. Being present for a series of moments can imbue each canvas with a calm power.” She will discuss her work and techniques during an hour-long Spotlight Artist Talk on Saturday, August 5 at 10 am. The Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery is located at 19 Washington Street in the heart of Nantucket’s Cultural District and a stones’ throw from Main St. The gallery is open daily, Monday–Saturday 10 am to 6 pm (closed from 2 to 2:30) and Sunday 11 am to 4 pm. For details about the AAN and their classes, exhibits, and workshops, visit NantucketArts.org.

Author Min Jin Lee Best-selling author Min Jin Lee will be signing books at Mitchell's Book Corner at 54 Main Street this Tuesday, August 8 from 10:30 am to 12 noon. Lee is the author of Free Food for Millionaires and most recently the 2017 national bestseller Pachinko, which is a Nantucket Book Partners' staff favorite book of the year! Pachinko is a family saga of a poor Korean immigrant family who fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan, exiled from a home they never knew. In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore Photo by Elena Seibert near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant and that her lover is married, she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations. Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters—strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis—survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history. You will fall in love with these characters and the cultural context in which the story unfolds. Don't miss this signing (or the story).

A Master of Disguise by Sarah Treanor Bois Director of Research & Education for the Linda Loring Nature Foundation Poison ivy, Toxicodendron radicans, is a native, woody plant prevalent throughout Nantucket. As the name implies, it is “toxic” or “poisonous” to the touch for many of the public. While 85 % of Americans are allergic to poison ivy, they’re actually allergic to urushiol, the rash-causing oil produced by the plant. There is a helpful animated video that helps explain how poison ivy allergies affect your skin: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:How_Poison_Ivy_Works.webm. It also helps explain why some people suddenly become allergic who never were before. Poison ivy is in the same family of plants (Anacardiaceae) as mango and cashew. People who are extremely allergic to poison ivy may also be sensitive to those foods. Poison Ivy is a plant I love to hate or hate to love. I am extremely allergic to it myself, but I marvel at its ability to morph into many plant forms. As a

Maureen Langan: Daughter of a Garbageman “Maureen is to comedy what James Brown was to soul.” —Jerry Stiller

Daughter of a Garbageman is a tale of Maureen Langan's 1970’s upbringing in New Jersey in which her Irish mother and Bronx-born father, a retired New York City sanitation worker, told her to work hard, get educated, and life would reward her. So, why then is America rewarding reality stars? The San Francisco Examiner hails Daughter of a Garbageman as a “onewoman tour-de-force… Maureen has something to say about family relationships, self-acceptance and American culture and is willing to be completely honest without sacrificing her killer sense of humor.” Maureen Langan will perform her solo show, Daughter of a Garbageman, two nights only on Nantucket in Bennett Hall, 62 Centre Street on Sunday, August 6 and Monday, August 7. Tickets are on sale at 508-228-4305 or at theatreworkshop.com/events/daughter-of-a-garbageman

. On board ships (and now in antiques shops) one often finds whale oil lamps, candleholders, compasses and barometers held by hinged circular frames that pivot so that the instrument remains ever upright and even, no matter how the vessel pitches and yaws. The clever device: a gimbal. First described in ancient Greece (in the Second Century B.C.), this crucial invention is still used today, and in fact is a necessary precursor and component to the gyroscope, without which we couldn’t have reached the moon, or explored the limits of our solar system with the Hubble telescope. And on those old Nantucket whaleships? Yes, even Macys used gimbals! Antiques Snippets are provided by Jack Fritsch, proprietor of the Antiques Depot at 2 S.

Shearwater Excursions is Nantucket’s premiere family-run Eco-Tour company. We provide a memorable experience for all ages.

With Sip’n Shops all the rage, last week Judi Hill, Pam Freitus, and Karen Palmer again collaborated to hold their very personal sip’n shop event in Palmer’s lovely Dionis home. The Great Nantucket Pearl Party has become a much anticipated annual island event. Guests include summer residents, visitors, and year-rounders, all sipping and shopping with personal attention from the jewelry designer Pam Freitus, Judi Hill, and several assistants. Working with Freitus, Judi Hill opened the Nantucket Pearl Company in 2009 with a few signature designs, including the Must-Have Nantucket Bracelet with custom Nantucket clasps that is still wildly popular. Each year, their selection has grown to include dozens of handknotted necklaces, new bracelet designs, earrings, and pearls and more, all featuring hand-selected fresh water pearls and South Sea pearls. Several of Pam’s jewelry designs are exclusive to Judi and the Nantucket Pearl Company and include design elements that Pam and Judi created together. If you didn’t make it to the Nantucket Pearl Party, you can still see, try on, and purchase this gorgeous pearl jewelry in the G.S. Hill Gallery, open daily at 40 Straight Wharf and online at NantucketPearlCompany.com

A Challenge to Our Limerick Challenge

/(&785(6

For nearly two decades we have been challenging readers to add to the series of limericks about Nantucket. It wasn’t until we posted this dare on Nantucket.net that we began to receive the level of response we’ve gotten in the past year, including this missive. We have adjusted our claim and thank Dr. Turvey for reminding us we are not an island unto ourselves.

As a limerick lover I am always pleased to find that others also like the old verse form. I was, however, a little puzzled by the comment on your website, to wit: “But do you know where it all began? We do! The series of four limericks reprinted below first appeared in a June 14, 1924 edition of a Nantucket newspaper.� This may well be the first appearance in the local Nantucket newspaper but the sequence appeared much earlier in newspapers, magazines and books. To give one of many examples, in Life magazine, Volume XLI, March 26, 1903, page 274, a ten stanza sequence is given. With regard to the original clean sequence I confess I find it interminably tedious; so much so that I once wrote the following heartfelt comment: That place in the States called Nantucket – Once home to a man with a bucket – Gives rise to such verse As go from bad to worse That I really wish someone would chuck it.

] 4 8"5&3 453&&5 /"/56$,&5 ." ]

However, never let it be said that I shrink from ANY challenge limerickal. One thing that has always bothered me about the original sequence is that a young man and a young woman were off gallivanting around rural continued on page 32

Welcome Aboard: Nautical Island Treasures Consig ment & Thriſt Cocktails for Any Port by Jenny Benzie

Advanced Sommelier + Certified Wine Educator, Proprietress of Épernay Wine & Spirits

Nautically themed drinks in the Miami Vice era included brightly colored liqueurs in order to set the mood of being on a boat in trendy South Florida. Blue Curaçao resembled the vibrant blue color of the water. Brightly colored green Crème de Menthe was reminiscent for the color of the green markers on your port (left) side of the boat while leaving the channel to venture on your voyage. Crème de Almond represented the other side of the spectrum as the fiery red as in “red, right, return” that tells you to leave the red markers to your right (starboard) when returning from sea. These days, and especially on the summer waters of Nantucket, those bold colors are more often seen in some variation on gentlemen sporting their classic Nantucket Reds or ladies adorned in their latest, most colorful Lilly Pulitzer outfits. As host of these fashionably clad party goers for sunset cocktails aboard your boat, the best way to make a flavorful refreshing drink on board for your guests is with just a few key quality ingredients, minimal prep and ease of clean-up for more time to enjoy your drinks on the bow of your boat with your guests. Here is a list of nautically inspired cocktails to get your boat party started. One thing is for sure, you will need lots of citrus to garnish and flavor your beverages, while also helping to prevent any outbreak of scurvy.

FARM FRESH MOJITO The most challenging part about making a mojito on board is that you need simple syrup, which is a combination of one part fine sugar diluted with one part hot water. While this may sound like the easiest task to do on the mainland, it is not while on a small boat with a tiny galley. It is also not very common to be able to purchase such an item when provisioning your bar eicontinued on page 31

man on a reed boat. The man with the staff seemed to be nudging the Crab into place with the stick. She claimed to have dreamt the image, then sketched and painted it. However, it remained a dream until she came to the island. My sister came to the island for the same reason I did: to make money. During the day, she weeded, mowed, and harvested. In the afternoon, she made sandwiches. She was in employee housing, sharing a toilet, protecting her Oreos, and making bank that she could bring back to Hawaii. One moonless evening, around her birthday in the middle of August, I took her out to Codfish Park in Sconset. By then, the summer was weathering. The fireflies had faded into darkness, the song birds had moved on, and the evenings had less fog and more stars. The moon had not yet risen into a quiet sky, and the waves swayed at rest. Behind us, in the west, the night sky had drained light to a dark violet, lit by the evening star low over the Summer House. To the east, one deep sea fishing boat was moving south. We sat on the sand, talked, and watched the stars slowly creep up over the horizon. Over sleepy breaths of the ocean, a bell tolled on a buoy out on a sandbar. Then, we saw the meteors. The Perseid shower settles in in the middle of August and, as often as not, happens behind a curtain of fog or is outshone by the moon. But on this night, in the dry air of the oncoming fall, the stars fell every few seconds with the momentary streak of one across the sky. She left me, climbed the stairs to the old slide and tried to get a better vantage point. The artist’s prerogative is to find her own point of view, to create something that you can’t see but she can. Ten feet off the ground makes no difference to stars hundreds of light years away, but it made a difference to her. My sister burned with the shooting lights of her wild eyes. In those darkened minutes, I became aware of the world islanders take for granted: the millions of stars, the smear of the Milky Way, and the unincontinued on page 26

terrupted dome of night. I pointed out Cancer and Leo, then she said, before I could, “The Keeper of the Constellations.” Then the noise of life came driving up Codfish Road with P. Diddy at the wheel. The moment washed away. Others pulled us away from the beach. We left the sand for other nights. There were other nights, and then they ended. The beach remains, of course. We brush up next to the infinite at the beach. Because we are who we are, we try to break the infinite into snack-sized portions so it will fit on our calendars in between boat reservations. Like landscape to a blind man, the beach is familiar and foreboding. It has the one thing that we don’t: time. Sconset beach itself looks the same as it did all those years ago when we were young and time held us in the palm of her hand. In the middle of this August, Leo will rise out of the ocean, just behind Cancer. Meteors will fall out of the ancient light, their deaths echoed in reflection on the slow turning sea. Behind the sand, the world changed. The slide has been swept out to sea, as have many of the houses, the bike racks, and anything else we leave near the deathly sea. In the end, we don’t leave much. A wallet, a photo album, a building might stay behind when we finally cross the bar. For the artist, they leave a view and a perspective. They leave a pattern and a picture that they saw and tried to show you. And when they go, you become the keeper of the constellations.

ford (who plays Young Percy) and Eloise Eonnet (who plays Therese). Tony Vo as Caldi is a vital asset as well to this production, his enthusiastic performance offering emotional respite from the heavier storyline. Clearly, the most impressive thing about this production is not necessarily the story itself, although that is undeniably sincere and compelling. It is the actors, each musical and convincing, that leaves the audience wanting more and more. The stage direction of these characters is a true feast for the eyes, as they mime the harpoon of a whale, and like a beautiful war between good and evil, it is impossible not only to feel for the animal being slaughtered but also for the whaler too, forced to kill for his own livelihood. The life of a whaler was not an easy one; it was cruel yet it was beautiful, much like the ocean itself. SeaWife is performed Wednesday-Friday through September 1; curtain time is 7:30 pm.

Master of Disguise from page 10

woody vine it climbs and girdles trees, as can be seen along the edge of the Nantucket State Forest. It can appear herbaceous, growing among the low bush blueberries and wildflowers of summer. Each stem seems to know how tall to grow to mimic the surrounding plants. It can be shrubby in nature, growing in and among the bayberries and huckleberries and growing no more than hip height. Making sure to cover all of its bases, I have even see poison ivy looking like a tree, though this has been exclusively in saltmarshes. Despite being a master of disguise, there are some tell-tale clues to identify it so you can avoid contact. The first step in avoiding a rash is to know how to identify poison ivy. “Leaves of three, let it be,” is the old adage that works most of the time. While many native, innocuous plants have clusters of three leaves, it may be best to avoid all “leaves of three” if you’re not sure. Unlike some plants in the blackberry family with three leaves, poison ivy does not have thorns and generally has smooth leaf edges, though sometimes it is “variable toothed.” That basically means it does what it wants when it wants. Leaves are generally shiny, though not always, especially when along one of Nantucket’s many dirt roads. Want to test your detection skills? You can look at a poison ivy quiz at the following website: www.poison-ivy.org/poison-ivy-quiz. If you do get into some poison ivy, here are some tips for washing yourself up ASAP: • Before the urushiol has been absorbed by the skin, it can be removed with soap and water. Time is of the essence, as 50% of the urushiol can be absorbed within 10 minutes. • Use a good soap. This can be an ivy-specific soap like Technu or just something that cuts grease. We sometimes use Dawn dish soap in our house. • Make sure to scrub/rub with the soap. This should be for about 1 minute without additional water. • Rinse thoroughly. The hotter the water the better. Think about bacon grease and how much you need to scrub and wash before it’s off your hands. While I hate to admit it, there are more reasons to admire this shape-shiftcontinued on page 29

ing plant. In addition to being a master of disguise, poison ivy may be the super plant of the future. Researchers have found that poison ivy responds extremely well to elevated CO2 levels as predicted with future climate change. You think that would be the case for all plants with more CO2, but, in a recent study, poison ivy was shown to be more adept at reacting quickly to excess CO2, growing 149 percent faster than poison ivy grown without elevated CO2. These elevated carbon dioxide levels are creating bigger, stronger poison ivy plants that produce more urushiol. The urushiol isn't just more plentiful, it was also more potent. I’m itchy just thinking about it. Looks like we all have one more reason to fret about climate change. At least the birds will be happy. A few poison ivy fun facts to help us hate it a little less. • Poison ivy fruits are plentiful in late summer early fall. They are an important food source for birds and wildlife like white-tailed deer. Deer even graze on the twigs and leaves! • Deer, dogs, and other Nantucket fauna are not allergic to urushiol oil. • Research has shown that poison ivy is tolerant of wastewater, indicating it may be a good plant to treat sewage. • In the fall, poison ivy leaves turn a brilliant crimson color. Driving down the Milestone Road, it brings some bright colors to the evergreen pines of the state forest.

jewelry designer as “we”: himself plus a team of masters that includes an enameler, inlayer, caster, and more. Together they have resurrected techniques that most jewelers have since traded in for easier methods. “I execute what’s lost,” Reubin says “Craftsmanship is my heart and soul. It doesn’t leave my hands until I am totally satisfied with it.” Reubin describes the masters as the ingredients necessary for a successful recipe and himself as the final dash of “Kosher salt” that completes the dish. With a team of talent complementing his own gift, Reubin has created pieces that resonate emotionally with his clients. When clients try on certain pieces, Reubin has noticed how they often stand taller and carry themselves differently, “Their shoulders go back, they constantly touch their hair… they picture themselves in that certain era, certain party, certain gathering [and] how they are going to look and feel,” Some clients are moved to tears. When I comment that putting on his jewelry can feel like putting on a costume he agrees but adds “It’s real. It makes you feel, not only look.”

Reubin’s jewelry is certainly transformative. Taking elements from nature, history, and mythology, the designs channel a whimsy born of fantastic color, creatures, and incredible attention to detail. Indicating a stunning gold and turquoise necklace, Reubin jokes, “If you don’t feel like Cleopatra in that moment, I’m going home.” A black obsidian panther ring is remarkable for the gold inlay work on the panther’s teeth and tongue. Such a small detail would be easy to miss, but Reubin is adamant in his refusal to cut corners. He cites an old master for explaining that you should always check the back of a piece of jewelry. The back and sides of a truly finished piece will be as painstakingly crafted as the front. His commitment to quality and artistic integrity is best summed up by a humorous incident in which a woman wore a necklace of gold feather backwards for the better part of an evening because the back of the necklace was as beautiful and intricate as the front. “There is nothing ugly in this world. It’s how one wants to see.” I admired

a beautiful pearl ring whose band was silver, made to look like a nautical rope. The rope wrapped around the pearl itself, conforming to the contours and framing it beautifully. How did this design come about? The pearl itself inspired Reubin. “This pearl is a reject. It was in a bag of stuff that people had tossed,” Reubin explains. It is a large baroque pearl and some of the skin has torn away, revealing a dark layer beneath, which it not visible in the setting. Reubin did not see the broken skin as a flaw, “I’ll give it a home...we adopt all the rejects. You should see what they do to these beautiful things that mother nature grew.” The condition of the pearl, its particular shape and idiosyncrasies, inspired the rope idea that Reubin says he would not have come up with otherwise. One of Reubin’s favorite exclamations is “beyond.” Speaking of an assistant whose talents he greatly admired, she was “beyond.” Speaking of the Lalique works he so admires, “beyond.” It’s an apt word for a man whose designs bring worlds beyond—lore, ancient history, imagination—to earth. After speaking with Reubin I’ve learned a great deal (en tremblant, a technique that allows the piece to tremble or quiver when worn) and I’ve been privy to a beautiful thing: Reubin’s ars poetica. When speaking about how feeling can guide creation he stops himself and asks, “Am I getting too gooey now?” To hear Reubin Simantov speak about jewelry is like hearing Keats wax lyrical about poetry or Lumet on filmmaking: he is powerless to rein in his enthusiasm. His love for jewelry design fully shines through in his creations. R.Simantov, 2 South Water Street • 917-324-4410

ther. This is when you have to use your best bartending survival skills in order to make this concoction while on dry land and safely get it back to the boat. Remember that small juice jar with a lid you have been saving because it will come in handy some day? Take this with you to a local coffee shop, ask for a small splash of hot water (keep in mind that the glass will get hot!) and mix in a handful of sugar packets until the sugar has completely dissolved. Be sure to have the lid on the jar tightly closed when you carefully transport it back to the boat so you don’t end up in a sticky situation along the way. Place mint leaves that you acquired from Bartlett’s Farm and a lime wedge in a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and a tablespoon of simple syrup, muddle once more. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour two ounces of Privateer Silver Rum over the ice, then top with San Pellegrino. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge. GILLIGAN’S GIN-GIN Hopefully your three-hour boat tour will be just that, but in case you have limited time on the water and need to cut your trip short in order to get back to dry land, this cocktail has a little extra strength to it so that you may only need just one. Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in two parts Plymouth Gin ‘Navy Strength’ (as in it is stronger in proof than most gins and was created for the British Royal Navy), one part Fevertree Ginger Beer and top with a splash of Something Natural Lemonade. Garnish with the a slice of lemon. LIMEY SEABREEZE A classic cocktail with a vodka base and a combination of various fruit juices (as are the similarly concocted drinks Bay Breeze, Cape Codder and Salty Dog), this juicy libation can always be livened up with a modern twist. With a surplus of flavored vodkas available, avoid the hassle of using fruit juices that need to be refrigerated after opening and come in large containers that don’t stow well down below due to their size. Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in two parts Absolut Lime Vodka, one part Spindrift Grapefruit Sparkling Water and top with a splash of Triple Eight Cranberry Vodka. Garnish with the a lime wedge and a krazy straw. MARGARITA Margaritas just seem to be a way of life when it comes to boat drinks. (Did you know that National Margarita day is actually in February?) Easy, peasy and don’t even think about making this frozen as there is no blender on the boat! One of the key components to making a top-quality margarita is to use better quality ingredients. While there are less expensive (read generic) brands of triple sec and tequila, it is well worth the extra spend on both of these ingredients not only for a better tasting drink, but also in order to avoid a dreaded hangover. Combine two parts Casamigos Silver Tequila, one part Cointreau in a shaker and add ice. Shake and strain into a margarita (or coupe) glass that has a lightly salted rim. Garnish with a lime wheel. According to Jimmy Buffett, “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.�

Limerick Challenge from page 16

America in the early 1900s – seemingly without the benefit of clergy! So let me rectify that straight away: When Nan and her pal reached Woonsocket Paw went up there like a moon rocket. “My girl you’ve been bedding; There must be a wedding.” And his shotgun; well, Paw will soon cock it. Oh, you want Nantucket to be rhymed? OK: At a baseball game in old Nantucket, The organ gave out a loud tucket. This so startled Nan As she sat on the can That she damn nearly filled up the bucket. That’s it. I’ve had enough. Nantucket; if you want any more limericks about that place you can f- … flippin’ well forget it! Yours sincerely, Dr. Bob Turvey, Bristol, England

Leave only footprints... Nantucket has some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the world. Please respect Nantucket’s fragile environment and the beauty of our island.

In areas where dune reclaimation is taking place, please do not cross the rope or fence barriers protecting the dunes.

BEACH SAFETY •Learn to swim. If you can’t swim an overhead stroke for at least 15 minutes you should not be in the ocean. •Never swim alone. Always swim with a buddy, and swim near a lifeguard whenever possible. •Stay out of the “surf zone” where the waves break at the shoreline. Waves are at their greatest force here, and even a small wave can lift you up and throw you headfirst into the sand. •Never run from the beach into the water and dive headfirst into the waves. Sandbars that cannot be seen from the surface may be present and/or the water may be too shallow. •Don’t jump or dive into the water from a pier or rock jetty. From a pier or jetty, water appears much deeper than it really is. What looks like 10 or 20 feet of water may only be 2 to 3 feet deep. Diving in could be fatal. The same applies for jumping headfirst into the ocean or a wave from a surfboard – don’t do it! It’s not a risk worth taking. •If you are body surfing or boogie boarding, always keep your arms out in front of you to protect your head and neck. •A rip current will pull you away from the shore, but it will not pull you under. If you’re caught in a rip current, do not swim toward the shore! Instead, swim parallel to the shore, until you’re out of the rip current. Then, swim in to shore. •Never drink alcohol or use drugs at the beach. It clouds your ability to make wise decisions, and that could be fatal! •Take direction from lifeguards at all times.

“Daughter of a Garbageman” Two shows: August 6 & 7 at 7 pm

Daughter of a Garbageman is a tale of Maureen Langan’s 1970’s upbringing in New Jersey in which her Irish mother and Bronx-born father, a retired New York City sanitation worker, told her to work hard, get educated and life would reward her. So, why then is America rewarding reality stars? The San Francisco Examiner hails “Daughter of a Garbageman” as a “one-woman tour-de-force… Maureen has something to say about family relationships, self-acceptance and American culture and is willing to be completely honest without sacrificing her killer sense of humor.” Two nights only on Nantucket: August 6 & 7.
