This Saturday Is Release Day This Saturday, September 1, the Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association (MMA) will hold its annual animal “Release Day” from 10 am to 1 pm at the MMA Aquarium located at 28 Washington Street. Admission is free and the public is invited to this event.

This free event attracts hundreds of children and families who come to help release the marine life that has been living in the MMA Aquarium back into Nantucket Harbor from where they were collected. Armed with plastic buckets, Aquarium staff directs the young volunteers, turning them into a bucket brigade to release the animals. Attendees should arrive dressed for wading and should plan to possibly get wet.

“We are excited when we catch specimens at the start of the summer season and are eager to share their natural history with visitors. This collection of fish, crabs, shellfish and more represents the biodiversity of Nantucket Harbor. We are just as excited to release them back to the Harbor at the end of the season,” explained Dave Gagnon, Executive Director of the Maria Mitchell Association. From the number of people who participate every September, it is obvious that the public loves this annual ritual as much as the MMA staff.

Animals to be released include horseshoe crabs, trigger fish, crabs, skates, dogfish, and many other species. The event is organized with different species released over the three-hour event. Interns and Aquarium staff direct the young volunteers in the proper and safe way to place the animals into Nantucket Harbor. Well over one hundred animals will be returned to the ocean. Attendees should be prepared to get wet.

The Maria Mitchell Association is named for America’s first female astronomer, Maria Mitchell, best known for discovering a comet over Nantucket in October 1847. MMA was founded in 1902 to preserve her legacy of scientific achievement and to carry on her passion for hands-on learning.

ALTS on Nantucket

by Carl Oscar Olson It can be easy, when you’re 30 miles out to sea and surrounded by ocean, to take for granted the ability to swim. Many of us learn at a young age, and we simply lose sight of the fact that this life-saving skill is considered by many not a given, but a privilege.

A staggering 35% of Americans cannot swim, and more than half can’t swim as well as they think they can. These numbers rise dramatically among minorities in the country. This means over 1/3 of the population is at risk of being among the 10 people in the country who die every day from drowning.

In response to this, the United States Masters Swimming began an initiative, Adult Learn-To-Swim, to teach adults to learn to swim. ALTS has made it their mission to change this horrifying statistic.

Once Upon a Time on Labor Day

Sail Endeavor a Nantucket tradition. established 1982

by Robert P. Barsanti Labor Day comes late this year. For most of my life, Labor Day was my true birthday. When I was much younger, it marked the moment when I got a year older; suddenly I was in sixth grade or I was in high school or was out of college. My first Labor Day without school spun me about. If I wasn’t in school. how old was I, really? Could I just stay twenty-one if I didn’t buy any back to school clothes and didn’t need a new locker? Then, I had children and the same calendar turning and churning came with them. Turn around, and he is in Kindergarten, turn around, and he is filling out his summer reading notebooks. The years walk by like the ducks on Orange Street.

Once upon a time, Labor Day marked the end of the summer season. The cars would fill with boogie boards and boys, then the boats would fill, then Route 6 would back up and everyone would crawl across the bridges then race into the winter on Routes 93 and 95. Our modern and digital age has concentrated the summer down from the three months between Memorial Day and Labor Day to the six weeks between the Fourth of July and the Rainbow Fleet. This year, before the Opera House Cup even started, sixty carsand families-waited on standby at the ferry dock. The summer ended for them even sooner than they planned on it. The off-season, with its coaches, principals, partners, clients, and overlords, squeezes the season into a smaller and smaller bottle.

Boyle’s Law, like gravity, is immutable; the smaller the volume, the higher the pressure. The champagne bursts from the bottle. If summer is crammed into a long weekend, then the sun better be out, the waves need to be big, and they better still have glazed chocolate donuts left at The Bake Shop. Perhaps, if summer were to ease itself over three months, a day or so could be spent inside with the rain, perusing a James Patterson novel without a cover and eating stale potato chips. Spread over time, a few non-profitable days could work. continued on page 12

ISLAND PAIRINGS

Esprit du Summer

by Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie Summertime is synonymous with Sauvignon Blanc. No other wine screams “drink me� on a hot summer day as a relief to the scorching heat more than this racy, acidic white wine that is full of fresh fruit, minerality ,and a lively finish. With so many different styles from regions across the world to choose from, it can be hard to decide which one you would work best for you. Here are a few selections for you to learn more where each wine comes from and what makes them stand out in a sea of Sauvignon Blanc options.

Choice of 2 Dierent Tours

A WHALE-Y GOOD ONE Any day on-island is a good day to visit the Nantucket Historical Association’s Whaling Museum, not just on a Grey Lady kind of day. The same can be said true of when it comes to drinking Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc from South Africa. The vineyards of this Sauvignon Blanc specialist are located in the cool, maritime climate of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley appellation in Walker Bay, located a couple hours south of Cape Town on the western coast. Winemaker Anthony Hamilton Russell’s aim is to combine distinct South African fruit and flavor expression with classic styling and refinement.

This international best seller of a wine offers classic Old World, tight minerality and length that complements the prominent varietal fruit with hints of New World palate coverage and body. The wine is named after the rare Southern Right whales, which frequent the cool South Atlantic Walker Bay, just a mere three kilometers from the vineyards. With each bottle sold, Southern Right makes a contribution to the Southern Right Whale Conservation.

This wine is perfect for those who love Sancerre and want to venture out of France.

The Centers for Disease control and Prevention estimates that there are more than 300,000 new cases of tick-borne diseases in the U.S. every year.

The Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association (MMA) will host a lecture given

by Dr. Tim Lepore on September 5 from 7 to 8 pm at 33 Washington Street. Lepore’s talk “Review of Common and Not So Common Tick-Borne Diseases on Nantucket” will address the symptoms of tick-borne diseases, including the less common ones, preventative measures to ward off these diseases and to keep ticks at bay , and treatments of tick-borne diseases.

These diseases include Lyme Disease, Babesia, Anaplasmosis, and Borrelia Miyamotoi. It is possible to be infected with more than one of these at a time.

The event is free for MMA members and $10 for non-members.

Dr. Lepore has been treating members of the Nantucket community for the past thirty-five years and is currently a resident doctor and surgeon at the Nantucket Cottage Hospital. He is an advocate for the awareness of tick-borne diseases on Nantucket, which is especially important in a community that has one of the highest incidence rates in the country. Dr. Lepore is considered to be one of the leading tickborne disease experts in the country and has had articles published alongside researchers from Harvard Public School of Health, Tufts University School of Medicine, and the Yale School of Public Health.

The Maria Mitchell Association has hosted more than a dozen speakers this season as part of our summer Science Speaker Series. The talks have featured astronomers, authors, environmentalists, biologists, professors, and doctors.

A private non-profit organization founded in 1902, The Maria Mitchell Association works to preserve the legacy of Nantucket native astronomer, naturalist, librarian, and educator, Maria Mitchell. The Maria Mitchell Association operates two observatories, a natural science museum, an aquarium, a newly opened research center, and preserves the historic birthplace of Maria Mitchell. A wide variety of science and history-related programming is offered throughout the year for people of all ages. This year celebrates Mitchell’s 200th birthday with special lectures, events, classes, and exhibits all year-long, culminating in the Maria Mitchell Women in Science Symposium in October 2018 in Boston.

Fall Webworm

by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation It’s not fall, and it’s not a worm.

So, what is it, you may ask? Fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea) is actually a common, native caterpillar that occurs throughout the United States and southern Canada. It is often mistaken for eastern tent caterpillars, but they are more active in early spring. As the name implies, fall webworm activity is seen much later in the season: generally August to early fall. This year on

the initiative to the island. He says simply, “We live surrounded by an ocean wilderness, and everyone should have the ability to explore safely our wonderful coastline and surrounding sea.”

Jim received an outpouring of support from Jim Pignato at the Community Pool, who took an active role in supporting the program and providing precious time in the pool. The next step was finding the right people to get in the water. “We appealed to the swimming and triathlon community to support the effort,” says Jim. The entire program is run on a volunteer basis, and teaching adults to swim is very labor intensive. “Non-swimming adults require a lot more attention and focus than kids. Kids are a lot more adaptable than adults who come with their own fears and life long habits that may need to be changed.”

In other parts of the country, the class can be an impossible financial burden to many families. “Off-island classes generally go for between $400500,” says Jim. Here on the island “the cost is only $75, and the students get goggles and a swim cap. It’s a real bargain made possible by support of the Community School and the volunteers.”

Nantucket ALTS now has a core group of 15 volunteer instructors who give up a month of their evenings to teach the class. “The class represents the best of Nantucket,” he adds, “Islanders helping fellow islanders.”

The first class was not quite a sell-out at 14 students, but word spread quickly, and since then room in the class disappears in a hurry. Nantucket ALTS has quickly become a success story. “We get about a 90% success rate in the first class. Our goal is to get everyone to comfortably swim 25 yards, float on their backs, tread water, jump into the deep end, and exit the pool without the use of ladder.”

Classes start with simple drills and kick boards. Students swim to buoys and begin learning proper technique. Those learning to swim dictate the pace of the class, and instructors make a scary and challenging task fun and continued on page 11

The program consists of eight classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 7 and 8 pm. The next class is scheduled to begin on September 25, and will run for four weeks. Jim expects another sell-out.

DECK DINING. Part of the class includes use the Community Pool for the month without any additional charge. Jim urges students to come in use the facility. “The only way that swimmers get to the next level is to show up at the pool and practice what they learn. Those that do become pretty good swimmers.”

Jim’s favorite part of the program is graduation. “We invite the swimmers families to see the progress. At the end of the class we all jump into the deep end together and celebrate the students’ accomplishments.”

"It is the best volunteer work I have ever done, and we make lasting relationships at the same time. We are always looking for new volunteers who want to participate and share their love for the water with those who need our help.”

Once Upon a Time from page 5

Instead, in six weeks, perfection must emerge from the sand and the moors. The hydrangea must be in bloom, the tomatoes must be ripe, and the meteor shower should begin as soon as the back door closes. To the island’s amazing credit, perfection slips in with the morning tide. You can stand at Easy Street Basin with a cup of coffee, a Sailor’s Knot, and a sunrise. Billions of people would happily trade places on that bench. Yet, time and tide have smiled on you this morning. For some, the closer you get to perfection, the more glaring the imperfection. As a result, we see all sorts of fun seeking behavior. Chad, from Connecticut, railed at a $20 parking ticket on Main Street given to his Range Rover in the crosswalk. He gave an operatic full on performance for a minute before an older island gentleman asked him if his father was a lawyer? Hopefully, for Chad and the rest of the high pressure vacationers, the summer has deposited him on a soccer field an ivy covered institution that knows who his father is. Godspeed, Chad.

What the modern calendar has robbed from the realtors, shopkeepers, and bartenders, the rest of us have gained. Donuts get a little stale by ten o’clock and the chocolate chip cookies cool off on the stacks. The shopowners stand behind the counter, taking the shifts given up when “Ceci had to go home to her sick mother.” Successful friends take a few days in the relative quiet of a lake in Maine or New York, while the rest of us kick off work at noon on Friday, then drop into the warm water and easy swells on the south shore. We stop for the tur-

tle at the bottom of Hummock Pond Road and wait for the young man to carry him to wet and green safety on the other side of the road. Soon enough, he will cross the road in peace.

The end of summer has other pleasures. The great bluefin tuna hunters go out looking for fortunes and return with sushi from two hundred miles off-shore. The fox grapes have turned green in the moors and the pear tree in the Quaker Cemetery drops its fruit onto close passing pickup trucks.

Out on the beach, the remaining visitors rest in squads and squadrons, with umbrellas, boogie boards, and the occasional inflatable raft rolling over the somnolent waves. Their boys grabbed handfuls of rosehips and waited to bombard their sisters on the raft.

I will get a year older on Labor Day, as I always do. The Hope For The Future wants to run cross country this year, and he will be out on the moors.

On one morning, like any other, he will walk into the old building at an old time with old faces and the clocks will restart and the calendar will roll over. The old year waddled on out the door and the new one came in, with back-to-school clothes and a homework notebook.

But not yet. Not for a week or so. Until then, time floats in the breathing waves of Cisco, looking at its toes in the warm Atlantic. It passes overhead in rolling tufts of fog and settles in like the mist in the webs of the ground spiders. In the suspended hours of an August afternoon, I sat at Cisco Brewers, listened to a Hawaiian sing reggae tunes, and slurped littlenecks like a Walrus. Two women from New York sat next to me as they shared chips and guacamole. “It’s a great place,” they said. “We decided to stay until Labor Day.”

Freedman’s Fr F Fre reeedddm re man ma an’s off Nantucket Nan Na anntttuuuccckkkeetet When did yyo ou discover your creaattivviittyy?

Afftter getting a degree in industriaall engineering and then ttw wo years in the Coast Guard, I became a partner in a design business. I discovered an unending creative side but I was workkiing 12 hours a dayy,, seven daayys a week and traavveling around the world. I was workkiing so hard that I went to see a “guru” to help me explore my spiritual side. That expanded my artistic side tremendouslyy..

How did you staarrt creaatting the beautiffu ul and unique items yyo ou sellll todaayy?

I came to realize that my work needed to be more tactile…more sensual. During a trip to India, I saaw w a tapestry that was unattractive and poorly made—a novelty piece. I thought this could be a beautiffu ul piece if I just changed the design and the color. I started workkiing with the artisans there to change how what they are doing with their pieces and to improve the quaallity of their work.

I was selling wholesale at the time, and that business just grew and grew: we were in some of the best stores in the countryy..

What broug gh ht yyo ou to Nantucket?

I decided to sell the business and semi-retired here to Nantuckkeet.

I opened a small shop on the W harff.. It was so successffu ul that some years later we moved to this location at 14 Centre Street.

This is an ideal location: the street used to be called Petticoat Row w....it has a sense of historyy.. With the size of this shop, I can make a real statement.

You aallwaayys haavve something neew Yo w in yyo our shop, wh w haatt ’s new ffo or 2018?

There are too man nyy new items to list, like a 21-inch end table that is a copy of a watch and picture ffrrames made out of quartz and agate and burlwood. W Wee’re the perffeect place to shop ffoor someone lookkiing ffoor something difffeerent — we never haavve the same-old, same-old… everything here is unique.

How do yyo ou keep your creaattivvee enerrg g y ffllow wiing?

For me it never ceases! If I’m not being creative in the store, then Fo I’m creative at home, in the garden… It ’s rewarding; it ’s an afffiirmation that I’m okaayy! People come into the store and saayy it ’s likkee a museum, and I ffiind that deeply gratiffyying!

NANTUCKET

WEEKEND 2018

SEPTEMBER 8-10, 2018 In September, over 200 golfers will gather for a long weekend of golf and social events for the second annual Nantucket Golf Weekend to benefit Nantucket Cottage Hospital. The highlight of this year’s Nantucket Golf Weekend will be The LPGA Legends Charity ProAm, featuring 18 of the greatest names in women’s golf including Jane Blalock, Pat Bradley, Donna Caponi, Laura Davies, Julie Inkster, Nancy Lopez and others. Golf events will take place at Miacomet Golf Club and Sankaty Head Golf Club.

In addition to the ProAm, we look forward to our 28th annual Swing Tournament at Sankaty, which includes a barbecue luncheon, an afternoon round of golf and an evening reception.

distinguished from other tenting caterpillars by the coat of long, white hairs covering their backs and sides. In some states, it has been observed that there are two distinct biotypes of fall webworm named for the color of their head capsules: black-headed and red-headed. We mainly have black-headed on the island, but let me know if you see any red-headed biotypes! Caterpillars of both types are very hairy, but differ in body coloration. Research has shown that they also differ in nesting behavior, dates for spring adult emergence, and to some extent, host preferences.

Black-headed biotypes tend to produce small, wispy nests that envelop only a dozen or so leaves. Red-headed fall webworms are far more cooperative; their communal nests may include many more caterpillars. Thus, they can produce some truly spectacular multilayered nests enveloping the leaves on entire branches.

Unlike the eastern tent caterpillar (ETC), fall webworm nests are located at the ends of the branches and their loosely woven webs enclose the foliage.

The ETC build their nests for temperature regulation, leaving the tent to feed.

The fall webworm, by contrast, eats within its tent.

The fall webworm is a generalist feeder and they will make nests on almost any tree other than conifers. Hundreds of caterpillars can be found within the silken tent (or nest). The caterpillars feed inside the web and expand it as they grow. They stay in the colony until their last molt, after which they may be found crawling anywhere on the host plant. The fall webworm then crawls to a protected place to spin a flimsy cocoon and pupate for the winter. The adult emerges as a stunning white moth the following July.

Despite the look, fall webworm actually do little damage to a tree’s health other than aesthetically. This native insect has more than 50 natural predators and 36 parasites that help control it. Best of all, fall webworms do not eat the buds of next year’s leaves. Because they occur at the end of the growing season, they are actually feeding on leaves that are nearing the end of their photosynthesis careers and only have a bit more to give. Next year, the continued on page 15

leaves will appear on the currently affected branches with no sign of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s damage.

So what should you do if you have fall webworm in your landscape?

Let them be: Fall webworm only makes the webbing during a short window of time each year. Soon it will make a cocoon and pupate. The webbing itself is biodegradable and will vanish from sight after a couple of storms. In the past, people have employed dangerous and foolhardy methods such as lighting the tents on fire, cutting the branches and using broad spectrum in-

secticide. Not only are these methods dangerous, but they can cause more harm to the tree in question than the caterpillar would have itself!

If you just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand them, you can use a method known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ten year old boy management.â&#x20AC;? With this method, you take a stick, poke the nest, and then wiggle it around until the webbing is more or less destroyed. While I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend any method that needlessly kills the caterpillars, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the least damaging to other organisms!

UTOPIAN DISCOVERY

Enter our photo contest!

nantucket.net/photos/contests.php

While utopia is defined as an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect, this is exactly what some people may refer to when talking about Nantucket. This utopia is also represented as the city Xanadu, which appears in Samuel Coleridge’s poem Kubla Khan in reference to a dream he had about the home and summer palace of the Emperor of China Kubla Khan. The area of Margaret River in Western Australia and these visions of utopia hence led to the winery namesake of Xanadu “Exmoor” Sauvignon BlancSemillon. Established in 1977, this winery was a true pioneer of the region. Xanadu continues to be a family owned and operated winery dedicated to producing expressive wines of quality and distinction that reflect the true characteristics of the Margaret River region. This easy drinking favorite has a zesty palate of freshly squeezed lemon and lime flavors combined with tropical fruits on the finish. A small additions of sémillon wine adds some body to the finished product, without the weight of aging it in oak. It’s easy as Sunday morning to drink now with a convenient screw-top closure.

CLOUDS

Daydreams and visions are what help us to map out our road to discovery and new outlooks.

Such is the case in producing wine in the Casablanca Valley of Chile. This area is located 80 kilometers northeast of the capital city of Santiago and just 20 kilometers from the seaboard of the Pacific Ocean. Aptly named Vina Casablanca “Nimbus” Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, this wine offers tropical fruit like lychee and passion fruit.

The fresh mouth is intensely acidic, with mineral notes, delicious texture and creaminess that lead to a long and persistent finish. This boutique winery is located in the westernmost area of the valley, between the Coastal Range and the Pacific Ocean to the west and is greatly influenced by the Pacific Ocean breeze, with morning fogs that give way to clear skies in the afternoons. The name Nimbus refers to the clouds that gently descend upon the valleys of Chile, reflecting the exact balance between temperature and humidity and providing optimum conditions for producing classy wines.

The tall sleek bottle design will also have you reaching for the clouds as you tap open the endless possibilities this wine has to offer.

DIAMOND

IN THE

ROUGH

The wines of Saint-Bris hail from the Burgundy wine region of France, a few kilometers southwest of the Chablis area. What makes Saint-Bris something of an oddity for Burgundy is that it is made from Sauvignon grapes (blanc and gris both permissible), rather than the Chardonnay grape of Chablis and the notable white Burgundies the region. It is the only Burgundy AOC that allows Sauvignon in the wines. Wines from vineyards around Saint-Bris planted with Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, the red grape of the region, are not included in the Saint-Bris AOC, but are labeled under a different appellation name. The vineyards have been deemed worthy enough to achieve such status, however cannot be referred to as a Burgundian wine. WILLIAM FÈVRE SAINT-BRIS is a beautiful example of such a wine. Pale straw in color, with aromas of grapefruit, peach, and exotic scents of lychee, this complex wine is full and flowery on the palate, with a hint of salt and spice in the finish. Domaine William Fèvre works passionately to express Chablis' terroirs, respecting the region's environment and traditional practices with sustainable growing, and make this wine is the same passion and care.

Cheese Pairing: Missouri Truckle White Cheddar: while the word truckle, refers to a cylinder shape, this typically refers to something made out of plastic or metal. The long aging of this cheese, however, is clothbound, which allows the diamond in the rough cheese to breathe resulting in a dry, crumbly texture. The crispness of the cheese and wine go hand in hand, no doubt.

As you allow your mind (and palate) to open and expand your horizon in regards to Sauvignon Blanc wines, enjoy what this top white wine grape has to offer from around the world. Their extremely versatile styles and terroirdriven expressions will leave you with a host of new wines yet to be discovered that will suit just about any palate.

just-browned tortilla.

All the fixings are on the side, so you can make it your own with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, corn, onions, olives, salsa, and sour cream. Everything you want in every bite.

We found the best burger of 2018 in the ACK Mac. The thick beef patty is decked out with lettuce, Steak Quesadilla tomato, cheese, and, of course, your favorite “special sauce.” Served on a buttered toasted bun alongside golden brown fries dusted with Cantina owner Bart Gangemi’s own blend Nantucket Island Spice, this is everything a burger should be.

Many items served at Easy Street are made or finished with Gangemi’s own Nantucket Island Spice. It contains an exotic blend of dehydrated vegetables and herbs, along with sea salt from the waters around Nantucket. It adds a fresh, savory blast to everything except ice cream, but don’t knock it till you try it! It’s available at the restaurant or online, so try some in your ACK Mac own kitchen.

We love Lobster Rolls (cover photo), and once again Easy Street takes this island favorite to another level. It’s served on a croissant, and the breakfast bread brings out even more buttery sweetness in the succulent lobster meat. It’s served with soft bib lettuce and more of those fantastic seasoned fries.

Naturally, they nailed the Fish and Chips. Two thick pieces of flaky-white cod are beer-battered and fried to perfection. There is an audible “crack” when you cut through the crust, but let’s not forget about the quintessential sauce: tartar.

It’s fluffy, never thick, and somehow more lemon than mayonnaise. It’s perfect for any and all of their seafood and it’s the best we’ve tried anywhere.

Fish and Chips

Salads often get lost in the mix, but Easy Street’s are not to be missed. The flavor of your summer garden sings in the Basil Chicken Salad. Dinner sized and delicious, this salad features a moist chicken breast that sits atop a bed of fresh greens and tomatoes with crispy fresh fried pita chips. Dressing of your choice is served Basil Chicken Salad on the side so you’ll never have too much.

Over the years, Easy Street Cantina has given back over $1,000,000 to islanders and visitors alike with their 10% discount program. Valid all year ‘round and available on their website, it’s something rarely seen on Nantucket or elsewhere. It puts on display The Cantina’s passion for their patrons.

Did we mention dessert? Easy Street offers Ice Cream, Shakes, and. of course. small batch Cookies from their own Nantucket Cookie Company.

The Fried Clam Roll evening we dined was one of the many humid evenings this August, and a couple of cold Shakes (cover photo) sounded just right. The Black & White is a classic vanilla and creamy as can be, while the Mocha Coffee offers the rich taste of your morning cup with shots of chocolate syrup through the straw with every sip.

Everything comes easy on Easy Street, so arrive hungry and bring friends.

The prices are good, the portions are better, and the food is fantastic.

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. Clean up your litter, respect private property, and use only designated entry points. 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.
