Letter from the Editor
Remembering
Yesterday gone by
A
s a child I always
I had the honor of participating in the
Dundalk Fourth of July Parade in 1973.
looked forward to
Fourth of July. The
day began at Aunt
Scottie’s house in Dundalk,
Md. for a quick breakfast before staking out our curbside
seats for the best parade in
Baltimore. This steel mill town,
just off the shores of the Patapsco River, was rooted in family
traditions and the American Spirit. Families gathered to cheer as bands, VFW
members, local businesses and organizations and, of course, politicians passed
by proudly wearing their red, white, and blue. It was not uncommon for our musical family to break out in chorus to whatever patriotic song the band was playing.
From there it was off to Gran and Pops for a huge cookout attended by extended family, friends and maybe someone we just met at the parade. Everyone
was welcomed. Kids ran through the yard laughing and playing with sparklers
while the adults gathered around the grill my grandfather built from the stone
in his yard. Later that evening we piled into cars heading for one of the few
fireworks displays in the area. Back then Maryland had strict firework laws making the Fourth of July one of the few times of the year the sky lit up with color.
This year the Dundalk Heritage Parade is celebrating its 80th year. Many parade goers now stay for the large festival at the park featuring rides, food vendors and top name musical acts. Fireworks are now commonplace with large,
organized displays in just about every town supplemented by individuals who
take it upon themselves to entertain the neighborhood. Somehow the magic of
that day has disappeared.
This issue takes me back to my childhood. Our production editor, Janice
Weigand, said it best, “This issue we celebrate the Great American Birthday with
a salute to the entrepreneurial spirit this country has always represented, with unbridled pizzazz of small town fireworks and the innocence of parades; with tribute
to the military whose job is not easy and a bow to those trying to bring manufacture
of consumer items back to our shores.” I could not have said it any better myself.
You’ll also find a very inspiring story about Riaan Manser and Vasti Geldenhuys who rowed a 23’ boat across the Atlantic from Africa because Vasti wanted
to see New York City. Their perseverance throughout 134 days at sea is truly
what this great country was built upon. The story is a reminder that no obstacles
great or small should get in the way of whatever anyone wishes to accomplish
in life. Thanks to our founding fathers, we all have the freedom to achieve greatness.
Stay safe this Fourth of July and proudly wear your red,
white and blue.

The Catamaran Group Acquires Pier 7 Marina
Adding to its standing as a one-stop shop for all things
catamaran — buying, selling, chartering, insurance, dockage — The Catamaran Group has acquired Pier 7 Marina in
Edgewater, Md., via its real estate division, A&S Smith Development. The facility, located just four miles from the Chesapeake Bay near the historic Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse,
is “the perfect property to round out our corporate holdings,” said Hugh Murray, president of The Catamaran Group.
The mission, continued Murray, is “to bring Pier 7 back
to its original glory as the premier marina in the area.” The
facility boasts seven docks with slips for more than 200
vessels, including wider-beamed catamarans and luxury
yachts. A full bathhouse, restaurant, WiFi, pump-out station, two public boat ramps and other marine vendors are
located on site.
“We are very excited about the opportunity to expand
our marina footprint in our home headquarters of Annapolis,” said Laura Hershfeld, president of A&S Development.
“With this addition, we now have the ability to offer fullservice marina facilities to our existing customers at our Annapolis location, as well as here in Edgewater.
10
“The existing management team at Pier 7 shares our philosophy of operating as a family-owned business, providing quality facilities and delivering outstanding customer
service,” Hershfeld added. “We are extremely happy to
support existing Pier 7 clients while elevating the level of
service and list of amenities over time.”
South Carolina Marinas Receive Grants
Four marinas in South Carolina received Boating Infrastructure Grants (BIG) from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in
May. Here’s a breakdown of the awards, which are given to
develop and maintain boating facilities for transient, nontrailerable recreational boats 26 feet or longer.
The Charleston City Marina will receive $20,000 to replace electrical receptacles on its MegaDock.
The Myrtle Beach Yacht Club was granted $45,000 to replace its fuel system.
Beaufort’s Downtown Marina will receive $189,287 to upgrade its transient dock by improving the structural integrity of the floating dock system, upgrading a fire suppression
system and replacing damaged equipment.

St. Johns Yacht Harbor was granted $983,320 to construct
50 transient slips and install a state-of-the-art fueling system with its funding.
The BIG program is funded through the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund from excise duties charged
on fishing tackle and equipment, motorboat fuel, and import duties on recreational boats and fishing equipment.
The grants require at least a 25-percent cost share.
Redbone Founder Receives Double Honors
Capt. Gary Ellis, founder of Redbone, a charity designed to
raise funds for a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF), didn’t expect
one of the participants in March’s annual Redbone Island
Walk to be a U.S. Congressman. And he really didn’t expect
Rep. Joe Garcia (D-FL) to honor him with a proclamation
from the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C.
Garcia’s surprise proclamation, which appeared in the
Congressional Record, recognized Ellis’ efforts in helping
the Redbone Celebrity Tournament Series of fishing competitions raise millions for CF research over its 27 years.
It also noted his being honored with the Tommy Gifford
Award by the International Game Fish Association Hall of
Fame (IGFA), which had occurred just a month earlier.
That award, named for the great saltwater charter skipper, identifies extraordinary seafarers who have made a mark
across the globe through their contributions to sport fishing
by invention, outstanding catch or catches, or having set an
outstanding example of their recreational angling trade.
“I look at these awards, and I see them as honoring not
me but all the hundreds of guides, celebrities and workers
who have made these tournaments successful,” Ellis told
Florida Today.
Redbone began four years after the birth of Ellis’ daughter, Nicole, who suffers from CF, a genetic disease that affects the lungs and other organs. Ellis and his wife, Susan,
were told that with some care and extensive medicines, Nicole might live to her early teens.
Not people to sit on the sidelines, the Ellises wanted to
do more to help speed medical research and so, participated in numerous South Florida CF fundraisers. Ellis was encouraged by one of his fishing clients, baseball legend Ted
MTN Maestro Orchestrates
Yacht Connectivity
On today’s multi-million dollar yachts, owners, captains, guests and
crew expect to have the same online experience as they do on land.
That means reliable Internet, mobile phone and video streaming —
no matter what the latitude and longitude.
“Given the complexity of requirements on yachts today, bandwidth
has to be optimized to address those requirements,” said AJ Anderson, owner of Wright Marine Group (WMG), which builds and manages
megayachts around the world. “Captains and [electronic technical officers] need a simple and flexible tool to pre-plan, traffic-manage and
make network changes, with less hardware and fewer headaches.”
MTN, a global provider of communications and content services for
the marine industry, has responded with its new MTN Maestro. The
system is capable of increasing bandwidth by 40 percent, according
to the company, and also combines multiple networks through one
platform. In layman’s terms, it allows strong performance and faster
loading for the user, plus simplified management for the electronic technical officer (ETO).
“We regularly hear that bandwidth alone is no longer delivering on the ever-changing content and communications requirements,” said Derik Wagner, managing director of the MTN Yacht Business Unit. “We listened,
and MTN Maestro is the answer. Captains and ETOs now have one powerful solution that substantially optimizes network performance, brings the power of multiple networks and allows for easy management.”
Furthermore, MTN Maestro is scalable and has a straightforward “upgrade path” that can adapt to match
shifting numbers of passengers and crew, as well as the addition of new features and functions when they become available. All of this is accomplished with a small hardware footprint, leaving more room for livable space,
which is always at a premium on board.

Williams, to build a CF charity event around what he knew
best, fishing. In 1988, Ellis and Susan began the Redbone
(REDfish and BONEfish), a small, celebrity-filled tournament in Islamorada. In their first effort, they raised $16,000.
Twenty-seven years later, the Redbone has made a huge
difference in helping medical scientists extend the lives of CF
patients across the United States by raising more than $19 million for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Nicole is now a 29-yearold international marketing executive for Rich Products. “As
for Susan, she’s the one behind the entire show,” Ellis said.
Inaugural George Hommel Jr.
Fundraiser Nets $205,000
In a fitting tribute, attendees of the first ever Bonefish and Tarpon Trust, George Hommell Jr. Florida Keys Habitat Fundraiser committed $205,000 to help protect and restore the region
this pioneer of flats fishing and conservation so dearly loved.
A $100,000 lead gift was announced by Bass Pro Shops
founder Johnny Morris, making the single largest corporate
gift in BTT history. Morris, a founding member of BTT and a
dear friend of Hommell, recited a quote from writer Kip Farrington, saying, “In a life spent fishing, I’ve come to realize
it’s not the big fish that you catch, but the people you meet
and the friends that you make along the way that matter
most. In all this time, I can say I’ve never met a grander gentleman, or a more passionate, inspirational person than...
George Hommell Jr.”
The evening included a cocktail hour and opening remarks from BTT Chairman of the Board, Tom Davidson.
Famed angler Stu Apte provided an entertaining trip down
memory lane, and Hommell’s daughter, Mary Ellen Hommell-Chidiac, reminisced about her father.
The evening rounded out with a silent auction, as well as
a science presentation discussing BTT’s five-year strategic
plan along with a presentation showing the depopulation
of bonefish in the upper and lower Florida Keys.

Quality, Beauty, Service
Keep Hinckley Yacht
Customers Coming Back
By Jeff Dennis
T
he Hinckley Yacht company was founded in 1928
in Maine, producing their luxury sailing yachts and
jet-powered Picnic Boats in Trenton. It’s the unique
powering of the Picnic Boat, and the classic lines,
that still create a pride of ownership for today’s owners.
With the extended boating season in the Southeast, a significant portion of the fleet migrates to southern ports so
Hinckley Yachts met their customers’ needs by opening a
full-service boatyard in Savannah, Ga.
Lying just four miles from Historic Savannah, the Hinckley Yachts Service Center is easily accessible via the ICW or
Wassaw Sound. General Manager Dustin A. Hartley, said.
“We offer a full range of yacht services for Hinckley owners
and for all other boats too. We utilize two travel lifts; one
is a 35-ton lift and one is a 50-ton lift, and we can handle
anything up to 65 feet in length.
“Over the last ten years we’ve added a large service
building for our carpenters, mechanics and electricians to
work in,” said Hartley. “We are one of seven Hinckley service yards along the East Coast, with the nearest brokerage
at the Stuart, Fla. location. We take great pride in our cus-
14
tomer service satisfaction,” Hartley continued, pointing to
glowing reviews online at ActiveCaptain.
The first generation Picnic Boat, which made its debut in
1994, has evolved throughout the years to keep up with the
demands of Hinckley’s loyal customers. “The Picnic Boat
has a jetstick technology that is not terribly new, but we
consider this boat to be a runabout, and jet controls make it
more easily maneuverable,” said Hartley. Even experienced
boaters may not have experience with jet boats, so Hinckley owners receive a three-day training course upon delivery. Although the focus is on open water performance using
the patented jetstick, the course also covers maneuvering
in tight spaces around the docks.
Picnic Boats can offer customized options for personal
preference, and they come with the Hinckley promise of
24/7 access to support. Of course, one can never be without worry or concern when navigating public waters, but
having a well-maintained 36-footer under your control can
provide for maximum enjoyment when on the water.
Hinckley owners are willing to pay a premium for the
name and prestige associated with these boats. Others
Boat
Captain Jamie Verlaque stands by the
Hinckley Picnic boat named On The Rocks
consider the beauty a powerful intangible factor. Randolph
J. Friedman of Mount Pleasant, S.C. lives on a peninsula
known as Haddrell’s Point overlooking Charleston Harbor,
with his docked Picnic Boat in the foreground of that view.
He purchased On The Rocks in 2004.
“I had always wanted a Hinckley Yacht of my own, since
they carry such a distinction for quality and for beauty,”
said Friedman. “When making my purchase I told Hinckley
CEO Jim McManus that I was unique in that my Picnic Boat
would stay in full view from my home.” Not all owners have
the same benefit. For Friedman, the Hinckley enhances his
home life.
“For starters, the Picnic Boat really compliments my
home, and its beauty is important to me,” said Friedman.
“The lines on a Hinckley are classic and subjective, which
is no surprise since the boat is designed to connect with
an owner’s sense of on-the-water aesthetics. In fact, that
same beauty motivates me to keep my boat maintained
as best I can.
“This is my first Hinckley purchase, and I have found it to
be great for cruising the Charleston Harbor where shipping
container ship traffic is a regularity,” said Friedman. “The
extended cockpit has a large enclosure with plenty of cushions facing toward the stern, so there is usually a place for
my family and me to sit and stay dry while Captain Verlaque
is at the helm.
“We have six-foot tides twice daily, and since the jetdrive
only draws two feet of water we have more clearance at low
tide,” said Friedman. “I also think it has a shorter beam than
other 36-footers. We love spending time aboard On The
Rocks.” The same sentiment among others is why Hinckley
owners are very loyal, and often become repeat customers.

Charter the Southeast:
Terrific Itinerary Ideas
Photo courtesy of The Moorings
by Carol Bareuther
T
he heart of summer is a perfect time to charter a
yacht and explore along the U.S. southeast coast.
From the Chesapeake Bay to the Carolinas, Florida and Bahamas, there are some fantastic itineraries that will lead you to hot spots and hidden gems ripe for
discovery by sea and shore.
Chesapeake Bay
“There are so many different places to go on the Chesapeake, more than people could ever see in a lifetime, so
you can make each trip here different,” explains Erin Minner, manager at Dream Yacht Charter’s base in Annapolis,
Md. “The fact that our home base is right in Annapolis is
16
great. People can see the town and all its charm, and then
take off sailing for however long they want!”
Wind and weather can always throw a monkey wrench in
the best-made sailing plans. When the breeze is blowing
out of the north, consider the following itinerary:
Day 1: Annapolis to Herrington Harbor. Here, on the
western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, are overnight slips
and the opportunity for waterfront dining in a classy-casual
setting. It’s best, especially in the summer season, to reserve a slip in advance.
Day 2: Enjoy a leisurely sail to Oxford on the eastern
shore. There you will enjoy a boater-friendly feeling as well
as an easily walkable downtown with restaurants and shops.

Day 3: Cruise to Cambridge, the oldest town in
Maryland, established in 1684. Cambridge Creek is a
good, protected spot with ample room to drop anchor.
Attractions include the Brannock and the Richardson
Maritime Museums.
Day 4: Cross the Bay to St. Leonard’s Creek. Vera’s
Beach Club, Restaurant & Marina is a good place to dock or
anchor out. It’s a beautiful area surrounded by rolling hills,
lush woodlands and shoreline marshes. Vera’s is one of the
top seafood restaurants in the area.
Day 5: Seven miles downriver from Vera’s is picturesque
Solomon Island. Stroll the Riverwalk, tour the Drum Point
Lighthouse at the Calvert Marine Museum or enjoy one of
several waterfront eateries.
Day 6: Enjoy an easy sail across the bay to St. Michaels.
This is a lovely town with a lively shop- and restaurant-filled
Main Street. There are marinas downtown or anchor out
and dinghy in.
Day 7: Spend your last day under way for the 25 nautical
miles (nm) or five to seven hour sail back to Annapolis.

South Florida, Florida Keys & the Bahamas
“South Florida and the Bahamas are a paradise right in
our backyard. They represent the quintessential Caribbean experience, but with the ease of travel and a familiar language and currency,” says Ian Pedersen, assistant
marketing manager at The Moorings, headquartered in
Clearwater, Fla.
A week’s charter from Dream Yacht Charter’s base in Ft.
Lauderdale, Fla., can include several stops along the way
to Key West. “You can even sail as far as the Dry Tortugas,”
says base manager, Hannah Allison.
One itinerary, for example, starts with a first night in Key
Largo, then leap-frogging down the chain of keys to Islamorada, Duck Key, Marathon, Little Palm Island to Key West. If
you have longer than one week, the Keys extend another 68
nm westward to the Dry Tortugas. Here the attraction is Fort
Jefferson and the Dry Tortugas National Park.
The main attractions in the Bahamas are Freeport and
Nassau. Just north of Nassau is the lesser known region
of the Abacos. The Moorings has a base in Marsh Harbor.
A great one-week charter from here is the approximately
110-nm route to Man-O-War Cay, Great Guana Cay, Green
Turtle Cay, Treasure Cay, Hope Town, Little Harbor and Elbow Cay, and then back to Marsh Harbor.
The Moorings Pedersen says of the Abacos, “Life here is
still laid-back and the snorkeling is as good as it gets.”

The waterways, places to visit and people make this area
ideal to charter. “There are a variety of creeks, rivers, and
sounds to explore, as well as access to the ocean and
beaches,” says Jules Norwood, vice president at Carolina
Wind Yachting Center, in Washington, N.C.
Places to visit range from small historic villages to the unspoiled bight at Cape Lookout.
“If I had a week, I would definitely plan my trip around
Cape Lookout,” suggests Norwood. “I would take a couple
of days to get there, with perhaps one night anchored out
and another at a marina in Beaufort or Morehead City to
top up the tanks and pick up supplies. When I left Beaufort
Inlet, I’d sail out into the Atlantic for a while before sailing
back to the anchorage at Cape Lookout. I’d spend at least
a night or two at Cape Lookout Bight, then make my way
back toward our base in Washington. Oriental would make
a nice stop along the way. There’s a beautiful marina called
River Dunes with a pool, Jacuzzis, and a wonderful restaurant overlooking the docks.”

Progress in Paradise,
sort of...
by Cap’n Fatty Goodlander
O
nce upon a time there was a large empty bay
in the Caribbean called Nirvana Bay. There
were a dozen local fishing vessels pulled up
on the beach, some trash, a couple of squatters’ shacks—and not much else. It was quiet. Nothing
important happened. There were no businesses. Nobody
was making any money. But the West Indians who lived
around the bay were laid-back and very welcoming—and
soon a few international cruising vessels pulled in. One or
two started headquartering out of the bay—as it was huge
and very pleasant. Nobody noticed it happening, but the
bay gradually became sort of a harbor—you know, a place
where passing yachts regularly dropped the hook.
Each evening, some of the yachties would row ashore
18
to share their sundowners with the local fishermen. Their
laughter would gently waft across the still water. One recently arrived boat had a guitarist aboard. His playing was
awful but his wife was a songbird—and they, too, started to
come ashore each evening.
Occasionally, some of the boaters would invite the locals
to a “potluck dinner” on the beach on a Saturday afternoon. Oh, how the laughing West Indian kids loved skylarking on the beach as their parents checked the level of their
own rum drinks.
Being a writer, I was especially interested in the local kids
and their English. I carried around a bilge full of school supplies—mainly vocabulary and grammar books—to distribute throughout the Lesser Antilles.
cruise
One of the local fishermen was nicknamed the Pasta Rasta
by an Italian boat—for his ravenous love of spaghetti—and
he always attended these parties. He was a handsome fellow, with a wide grin. Soon he was doing little errands for
the yachties—earning a couple of nickels here and there. His
dream was to own his own fishing boat—a real one, with an
inboard engine and everything. Once the yachties heard of
his dream, they insisted on helping. They had a fundraiser
right there on the beach, and managed to sell a ton of booze.
Pasta Rasta managed to buy salvage rights to an old wreck
and refloat it. The engine was useless but the hull was sound.
It was temporarily patched and floated to the beach—where
a bunch of us yachties huddled around it in rum-soaked bliss.
Each mooring at dawn, five or six lads dove in the harbor
to collect a few conch for bait—so they could fish by handlining all day from their row boats. One of the yachties with
some extra dive gear watched, rowed over in his plywood
dory, and gave the guys a mask, snorkel, and fins. The generous yachtie did not need them. They were spares. Besides, their monetary value was little. And, perhaps, the
mask might make a big difference in the guys’ lives.
It did. They could catch ten times the amount of conch they
once did. People in the village were impressed. A different
young fella got up the gumption to ask a different yacht—
and he, too, soon sported a mask and two fins—which was
also wonderful, despite the fact the fins didn’t match.
The Pasta Rasta was deep into his fishing boat project—
and needed more money. With the help of the yachties, he
opened Reggae Roost. It evolved into the nightspot for the
local white folk, and the Pasta Rasta soon was selling T-shirts
and sunblock too. One night, a drunk Jimmy Buffett stopped,
and played a couple of tunes. Later, a passing powerboat left
an amp and some cords—and soon there was nightly live
music at Reggae Roost and Convenience Store.
There was one slight problem. The beach was kinda
muddy. All the boaters had to get wet coming ashore, and
some of the charter guest ladies—well, they didn’t like taking off their Gucci flip-flops.
...sensing a need, an older local fellow who’d once
worked construction in the States built a rickety little dinghy dock—which was an instant hit. The smiling local kids
would help you tie up. Some shallow-drafted French Ovnis
on circumnavigation sterned-to for a while.
The smell of fried chicken was in the air.
The locals could now offload their fishing vessels with
ease, and a fish market sprouted up in the parking lot (Yes, a
few of the yachties had begun working ashore and had purchased autos.) between the road and the marina. Electric
wires started dangling between mast spreaders and palm
trees. During dock parties, someone would fire up a funky
19
Progress in Paradise, Sort Of...
old generator—which you could barely hear, really, through
the “we be jamm’n, jamm’n, jamm’n” of the reggae.
One day one of the cutest of the little kids who helped
tie up the dinghies was given a small tip—and immediately
bought out all the candy at the little supermarket tacked
onto the side of Pasta Rasta’s growing mall.
More and more bareboaters showed up—after all, this
was an authentic Caribbean happening, for gosh sake!
Cap’n Fatty aboard Carlotta dropped the hook. Fritz Seyfarth of Tumbleweed. David Wegman of Afrig’n Queen. My
god, the word was out! Barefoot Davis and his band started
opening on Friday nights. Was that drunken cowboy lassoing the local lasses really Kenny Chesney?
...but the more bareboaters that showed up, the more anchorage problems there were—mostly with boats dragging at
night during squalls. So the Nirvana Bay Marine Association
(NBMA) put in some stout, ecologically-installed moorings.
These were immediately occupied, so more were ordered. Another organization called Bahn Heres put in some moorings,
too, but in deeper water. Individuals, both local and yachties,
immediately tossed down moorings—and one Aussie guy put
in four of ‘em and supported his Mount Gay habit on the proceeds. Damn! There was money to be made! Soon even more
moorings were hastily installed—now amid the coral.
A giant catamaran pulled in and spent three days drinking at Pasta’s—and at the end, dropped off six giant garbage bags on the dock. “Hey, mon,” said one of the local
guys, “you can’t do dat, mon!”
The guy at the helm of the large center console inflatable
wasn’t going to take any shit from a local lay-about. “We
paid $22,000 US to charter that 97-footer out there—and
we spent a fortune at Pasta’s. You can, at the very least, deal
with our empties!”
“But,” said the local kid—but too late, the rich guy had
roared off.
Now, the local bad boys used to not be too bad. Sure, they’d
smoke ganja all day long—but they had to grow it to smoke
it. And, there was no money in it—until now. So a grinning
20
kid named Whiffy Spliffy now greeted every boat coming into
the harbor with some pre-measured baggies of commercial
grade ganja—and, on occasion, a couple of grams of coke.
During the annual fishing tournament, all the sport fishing vessels from Puerto Rico came—and complained about
the stench from the fishing boats off-loading. Oh, the irony!
By this point, the thrice-expanded dock was so cheek-tojowl crowded that its management team was forced to ban
the dinghies—that weren’t paying anyway.
I, meanwhile, was away on my first circumnavigation.
When I returned to the Lesser Antilles seven years later, I immediately headed for Nirvana Bay. It was a shock. First, there
was no place to anchor, as all the depths under 80 feet were
taken by moorings. Bars and nightclubs lined the beach.
Touts for the various mooring rental outfits zoomed up in
very fast, very expensive boats—as did the somewhat less
aggressive ganja salesmen. The beach was divided up into
gang-zones—it was five dollars to a large muscle-bound guy
who’d “watch your dinghy” and not smash it to bits, maybe.
I immediately rushed to see the Pasta Rasta—as I knew
he’d have the scoop.
“What the hell happened to this place,” I said when I
caught sight of him. He was watching a large screen TV at the
bar—live ESPN coverage of the Cannabis Cup of Holland.
“Oh, you mean last night? You hear ‘bout dat already?
Damn! Anyway, some Jamaican kid was trying to, you know,
take a local’s corner—so some idiot from the other side of
de island busted a cap in face—stupid, eh?”
“What about your fishing boat?” I asked. “Did you
launch it?”
“…sure, sure, we launched it,” said Pasta evasively,
“but deres no money in fishing, Fatty. And I got the B&B
under construction.…”
There was no money in fishing—and one of the reason
was there were no fish any more. There were no more
conch, either. And the locals blamed the yachties for that.
“Dey come here and take, but they no give,” one local guy
with very red eyes and a head full of filthy dreads told me.
“When my fadder young, dere was no boats in de harbor
and de bottom was littered with conch. Now, you can’t find
a conch east of the Panama Canal. And dis government of
we is weasels, me son! We tell ‘em we need the equipment
to longline, and dey just laugh.”
The sad reality was that the local politicians couldn’t make
any money off the local fishermen—but if they “sold” the
local fishing rights to, say, Korea… well, they could pocket a
good bit-o-change on the side, no one the wiser.
On the way back to my dinghy, a young girl with a dazed
eye and a Heinnie tipped up to her mouth, slurred, “You
wanna party, sailor?”
“Aren’t you Bethesda’s daughter,” I asked.
“How you know dat?” she hissed, attempting to focus
on my face.
“I knew you when you were a kid. You lived across the
bay—in dat green house with goats on the porch. I used to
bring you and your sisters those LadyBird school books, remember? And I helped your fadder, Joe Jah, get the diesel
engine of his first back-hoe running.
“…watch what you say ‘bout hoes,” shouted a teen-ager
in the giggling, surging crowd behind her.
“…dat’s long, long ago,” she said. “Dat’s backtime, mon!
Joe Jah is dead, and Bethesda too.”
She stared at me, and her stare was hard. There was a
gulf between us. Nothing had gone exactly as planned.
Brotherhood was supposed to be beatific, not sad.
I’d asked Pasta who’d ruined this paradise—as if it was
someone else, some foreign bogeyman, some evil corporate conglomerate. But it was me. And him. And her, too.
I returned to my boat, hoisted my heavy anchor up from
100 feet of water, and steamed out of the harbor. Once outside the reef, I luffed up to hoist my mainsail. An incoming
SunYerBuns bareboat swung alongside. Its crew had eager
smiles. “Is this Nirvana Bay?” they shouted across the water.
“Not any more,” I replied.
Fatty and his wife are currently in the Solomon Islands, comparing ‘long pig’ recipes with the locals. When he overeats,
he often has vivid dreams like the above.

nshore, offshore and Gulf Stream fishermen can show
their guests a good time just knowing that live shrimp
catches fish.
Inshore
There are several good options this month for presenting live shrimp. The traditional adjustable float, quickly
changed to suit your depth fished, comes in all sizes from
super large to mini. Then there is the ever popular popping
cork, which when popped makes a sound just like a fleeing
live shrimp. Fishermen near and far have come up with their
own special pop sound-designs. Some fishermen swear by
popping the cork once, waiting, popping again once, pausing, and then popping twice. The only downside to using
the old popping cork is the length of leader used restricts
the depth of water fished. The lead shouldn’t be longer
than four feet or shorter than 12 inches. I suggest using this
float when fishing in depths from two to six feet of water.
Then there is “just fishing naked!” No, I am not talking
about taking your clothes off though most fishermen want
22
to do this when the weather is hot. When fishing naked all
you do is tie a short leader onto your main line and then
tie on a small Kahle hook. Then I suggest placing the hook
under the shrimp’s horn located on top of the head and
letting the shrimp make its own way. It’s a known fact that
shrimp go where they feel safe. Larger fish have already
figured out the shrimp’s game of hide and seek.
fish
Offshore
Our beachfronts and artificial reefs are holding some pretty interesting top water catching opportunities. I call the
month of July the “If you can see the fish you can catch
them month!”
Top water fish such as Spanish/king mackerel, barracuda,
little tunny, jack crevalle, and cobia have arrived. All fish will
hit anything from a small trolled lure to a spoon being pulled
slowly behind your boat. Another way to get these fishes’ biting attentions is to cast right into the school of fish. I suggest
that you “match the hatch!” This means that you match the
size of your bait to the size fish your target fish are feeding
on. The Spanish mackerel, little tunny, and jack crevalle favorite meal is glass minnows and juvenile squid. Small silver
spoons sizes 0 and 00, made by Clark, are the best to use.
Now don’t get me wrong, there are lots of different kinds of
spoons on the tackle shelves, but the Clark spoon with the
red ball is proven by fish many times over.
When targeting the larger fish such as king mackerel and
barracuda, I suggest using a large spoon. The best spoon
for this job is a 3 ½-inch Drone. When targeting cobia,
which is the fish that looks like a shark or a large catfish in
the water, I suggest using a six to eight-inch diving plug or
some sort of a jig. My favorite jig for cobia is called Cobia
Candy, made by WhoopAss Tackle Company. I like using
their blue/white hair or chartreuse/white hair three- ounce
jig, which I rig with their signature white eight-inch plastic
eel. If you happen to have some live bait in your live well,
anything from shrimp to small fish work like a charm on the
old cobia! It’s this fish’s delight to look bait over before
sucking it down! The secret to unlocking or better yet to
“locking this bite” is to give it time to eat.
Gulf Stream
There was an old saying, “When the month of July rolls
around the blue water bite slows.” This is no longer true.
We Georgia fishermen have a blue water bite year around!
When going to the blue water during the month of July, I
suggest high speed trolling starting at about 50 feet of water and pulling the lure or lures until you pull the throttles
back. In my opinion, the best high speed lures are Bally
Hoods. Just buy them. They work!
Also I suggest giving bottom fishing a try. The fish that
feed deep down under are bigger and better than you think
during this time. As far as bait, you can catch your own with
a sabiki rig or just use a belly strip from one of those justcaught top water fish in your cooler. Most blue water fish
have moved closer inshore following different temperature
changes, because that is where the baits they feed on are.
This is where fishermen meet fish!!

Monster fish dominate
kayak fishing event
Story by Kathy Bohanan Enzerink

A
nglers competing for big fish and big prize
money in Extreme Kayak Fishing’s two-day
Battle in the Bahamas offshore tournament
got more than they bargained for.
On April 25, fishermen from Florida, North Carolina,
Oklahoma and Virginia raced their kayaks through calm
turquoise waters off Freeport, Grand Bahamas, in search
of the big catch. Joe Hector, Extreme Kayak Fishing
owner and event organizer, “waited onshore in anticipation, pacing back and forth with his VHF radio in hand.”
24
That afternoon the 33 fishing competitors brought
huge kings, grouper, jacks and loads of barracuda to the
scale. “Everyone knew who the contenders were right
away,” said Hector. Brian Nelli pulled a 38.4-pound kingfish and a 13.7-pound tiger grouper from his kayak as
Drew Mixon, off in the distance, stood on his kayak with
a 32.7-pound kingfish. Don Miley weighed in a monster
35.9-pound amberjack and Dion Philipon brought a
32.3-pound yellowfin grouper to the scale.
The anglers headed off in all directions on day two,
some staying shallow to fish the edge while others paddled for miles. An hour later, Hector’s radio started blaring, “marlin, marlin!” Thinking it was a sailfish, Hector
asked for the message to be repeated when a different
voice confirmed the sighting of an angler “hooked up to
a white marlin.” Within minutes, Captain Luther, at the
helm of a help boat, radioed to report another angler
was hooked up to a massive blue marlin.
“History was made Saturday, April 26 because this was
the first offshore kayak fishing tournament where both
marlin species were caught,” said Maria Hector, Joe’s
wife and co-organizer.
Identities of the two anglers were not known, which
added to the excitement onshore, according to Maria
Hector. “One thing was for sure,” she said. “Both were
in a heated battle to win the billfish division.” As word
came in that “Marlin Matt” Eckert and the blue marlin
were not giving up any time soon, Joe Hector was notified angler Joe Kraatz landed and successfully released
the white marlin.
It was a race against time as the 4 p.m. final weigh-in
deadline approached. Several fishermen had given their
fish to Luther on the help boat, which remained offshore
assisting Eckert. Joe Settebrino, with Hillsboro Inlet Live
Bait, and Extreme team member Doug Perez, “jumped
into Settebrino’s boat and raced to the help boat.” With
four minutes to spare, the duo made it back and all fish
were weighed in time.
Brian Nelli dominated the evening awards ceremony
taking first place, winning the Biggest Pelagic Division
and the Trash Can Slam with more than 28 pounds of
Barracuda. Don Miley took second place and Drew Mixon came in third. Prizes for the trio included $6,000 cash,
Hobie kayaks, trophies and gear. Billfish Division winner
Joe Kraatz also won the Biggest Dolphin award and an
entry ticket to Sailfish Smack Down 2015.
Still at sea, “Marlin Matt” touched the leader after an
eleven-hour battle with the blue marlin. Smiling from
ear to ear, Eckert received a “hero’s welcome” from
fellow fishermen, friends, organizers, sponsors and onlookers. “The screams of excitement for a man who just
made history was a moment no one will soon forget,”
said Joe Hector. Once off Luther’s boat, Eckert and
Kraatz were thrown into the water to bless their luck in
hooking marlin.
“Day two is when miracles happen,” said Perez.

Restoring bluefin tuna with
the power of fishermen
By Kara Lankford
Photos courtesy of Ocean Conservancy
T
he vast majority of Americans have never seen a
bluefin tuna cruising the Atlantic Ocean. For many
of us, all tunas are the same – flakey, fishy mash
that comes readily accessible in little grocery store
cans. In this context, imagining tuna scarcity would be next
to impossible – there are whole shelves of tuna in one store!
Not all tuna is created equal, however. And eating fish from
cans isn’t the best way to experience this particular protein.
Bluefin tuna are special, majestic even. Carl Safina painted a beautiful portrait of this creature in his book Song for
the Blue Ocean:
“Close your eyes. Think fish. Do you envision half a ton
of laminated muscle rocketing through the sea as fast as
you drive your automobile? Do you envision a peaceful warrior capable of killing you unintentionally with a whack of its
tail? These giant tuna strain the concept of fish.”
As well, they strain our concept of a fishery. In January
26
of 2013, a single bluefin tuna sold in Japan for $1.7 million.
This is the kind of price tag that makes a month-long fishing
trip worthwhile if you can catch but a single fish. The market
value has led to overfishing, and overfishing has led, as it
always does, to population decline.
The prized deep red muscles of Atlantic bluefin tuna are
built for speed and strength, and power migrations from
the North Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea to the
Gulf of Mexico in springtime, where the deep canyons of
the northern Gulf provide the fish’s only known spawning
grounds. Bluefin are largely protected from commercial
harvest in the Gulf for this reason, but they still must negotiate a labyrinth of baited hooks on fishing lines miles in
length (known as longlines) targeting other commercially
valuable species like yellowfin tuna and swordfish. In the
process, bluefin can be accidentally caught on the commercial fleet’s unmanned lines.
Regulations prohibit these fishermen from keeping and
selling the accidental catch (lest they ‘accidentally’ catch
the lucrative fish more often), and hundreds of these majestic travelers are killed annually as discards when they come
to the Gulf to breed.
A pilot study aimed at solving this problem replaced conventional, unmanned longlines, with a new method called
“green stick” fishing, yielding promising results that allowed
fishermen to continue targeting other fish while eliminating
accidental interactions with bluefin tuna—a win-win for fish
and fisherman. Converting the entire longline fleet to this
new gear could usher in a new era of fishing that promotes
and supports bluefin tuna recovery without compromising
the livelihoods of the fishermen.
Converting gear, a vessel, and a lifetime of experience
is not without cost, however, and the fishermen who
have signed on to voluntarily transition their operations
need help. This is where BP comes in. The annual bluefin
tuna Gulf migration and spawning in the spring of 2010
overlapped with the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster.
Because the laws and policies governing oil spills in the
United States have a firm ‘you broke it, you fix it’ restoration philosophy, bluefin tuna recovery projects are
a good fit for funding. While we are still learning how
oil exposure damaged the bluefin population, losing an
entire year’s worth of breeding production would be devastating to the already depleted Atlantic population of
bluefin tuna. Ensuring that hundreds of breeding adults
survive future trips to the Gulf may ultimately mitigate
some of that loss. When you consider the results of the
pilot study, a fleet wide transition to cleaner fishing methods could allow fishermen to catch the yellowfin tuna and
swordfish they are after, and better avoid bluefin, sharks,
turtles and other species of concern that are hauled up
with the current gear.
Bobby Nguyen served as a liaison to the Vietnamese
fishermen in South Louisiana who participated in the gear
transition study, and he put it this way:
“Our challenge is the conflict between a community
that has been fishing for generations and the need to
recover bluefin tuna. We want to contribute to this effort
without losing our livelihood and cultural identity, and
this transition to newer fishing gear allows us to fish but
also reduce our impact on incidentally caught bluefin,
turtles, sharks and other species. It’s a winning solution
for fish, fishermen and consumers, who ultimately get to
enjoy a great Louisiana product – yellowfin tuna – that
few people know we have.”
How do you replace the irreplaceable? Our answer for
bluefin tuna is to give the population a chance to recover
and the fishermen the opportunity to see it through.

Red, White & Blue Celebrations
Clearwater
Celebrates America

or the last 238 years, each Fourth of July, every
United States city, town and state celebrates our
independence and freedom in its own unique way.
The festivities we enjoy today got a hefty boost
from John Adams’ letter to his wife stating our Independence
Day should continue to be celebrated annually. Adams’ list
of ways included “parades, demonstrations, games, sporting
events, bonfires, and illuminations that could be seen from the
east coast to the west coast from that day forward and forever.” We do still go all out with our modern day parades, concerts, backyard barbecues, and of course firework displays!!!
In our boating community of Clearwater, Fla., we celebrate
our freedom by putting out the best, largest and brightest
on the water fireworks display in the greater Tampa Bay area.
Every Fourth of July, hundreds of boats of all sizes flock,
very early in the morning, to the Clearwater Harbor Marina downtown, to get a front row seat for the well-known
fireworks display. Mike, the Harbor Marina Dockmaster reminded us, anyone wanting a slip for the Fourth for overnight must reserve it months in advance, or run the chance
of being left out. Boat slip lengths range from 30 to 55 feet.
The marina also offers 700 feet of free daytime only docking (overnights not allowed), providing front row seats for the
fireworks show. The policy is first-come first-served and you
must leave right after the fireworks are over. Your last option
is to anchor out, so long as you are outside the restricted

you are interested in renting a slip, call 727-462-6954.
Back on land, on the sunny coast of the Gulf of Mexico, we
do things a little differently. Besides the traditional burgers
and dogs barbecue, you can enjoy freshly caught fish and our
local fresh grouper sandwiches to celebrate this special day.
Also, if you enjoy singing along to popular American songs,
join the crowd in beautiful Coachman Park, just a five-minute
stroll from the Harbor Marina. Last year we were entertained
by the Mostly Pops Orchestra with John and Mary K. Wilson.
At the park enjoy food and drinks, and the kids can find fun
and games planned just for them in a carnival area. Arts and
crafts booths and face painting artistry, in fact all children’s activities, except the food and drinks, are free as the wind!
The fireworks, launch from a green area located on the

north side of the Clearwater Memorial Causeway Bridge,
and shoot east over the waters of the Intracoastal Waterway
right in front of Coachman Park. They begin promptly at 9:30
p.m. lighting the skies and the water for 30 minutes. For the
safety of everyone, the Causeway Bridge closes at 9 p.m., 30
minutes before the show begins, and remains closed until
the crowd is cleared after the show. Planning your trip route
to or from surrounding towns should include this important
time frame. The bridge, in fact, actually creates an interesting
background to the dazzling fireworks display.
If you do not have a boat but wish to experience the fireworks display from the water, options include exclusive sailing
charters, large group dinner cruises, and charter boats for hire.
Plan and reserve early to make sure you can catch a ride!
Since sailing our boat from Puerto Rico to Florida in May
2011, we are very fortunate to be permanent residents of the
Clearwater Harbor Marina. This year marks our fourth celebration and we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. We hope to
see you out and about in your boats on that spectacular day!
If you make it to the Marina, please stop by slip B-4 and say hi.
Last year we had 17 guests on our 37’ sailboat Nada Mas! We
can’t wait to see how many people we’ll share with this year.

The Grand Strand rolls Out
The REd, White, and Blue
Story and Photo by Jeff Dennis
Pawley’s Island Fourth Of July
Parade boat float
T
he northern coast of South Carolina changes gradually from marshy vistas to The Grand Strand of
beaches associated with Myrtle Beach. One of the
last barrier islands, and finest examples of beach living is Pawley’s Island where their longtime slogan proclaims
Arrogantly Shabby. The rich history on this beachy island includes a Fourth of July parade, cookouts and patriotism.
The 2014 parade will be Pawley’s Island’s forty-eighth annual celebration of American Independence Day with both
residents and renters turning out in good numbers. Anything goes, of course, when it comes to floats, including
simply loading a few folks into the back of a pickup truck
and carrying some homemade signs. Some clever boaters
tend to haul their boats on trailers in the parade, giving
them another platform to carry revelers.
Family-oriented in nature, the parade accepts just about
anything as fair game for slogans, from current events to
storied beach sayings. Add in a healthy dose of red, white
and blue decorations and your float is ready to roll. It’s hard
to tell who has more fun, the folks in the parade or the onlookers in beach chairs lining the parade route. There is a
30
$20 entry fee for paraders, payable at Town Hall any time up
until the 10 a.m. parade start time.
After the parade, head up to Murrell’s Inlet for some
beach time before enjoying their fireworks display at 10:00
p.m. There is no shortage of viewing spots up and down
the Marshwalk area where seafood restaurants and islandthemed hangouts abound.
No matter where you are up and down the South Carolina coast, look up in the sky starting between 1:00 and 2:00
p.m. for a special flyover dubbed a “Salute from the Shore.”
Despite sequestration grounding the F-16s from Shaw AFB,
the fifth annual event will continue, using vintage aircraft.
Organizer, Salute from the Shore, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit
grassroots group dedicated to Saluting America. With a
mission to serve up a synchronized salute and honor America’s Armed Forces on the Fourth of July, this has to be one
of the best reasons ever to enjoy the freedom of heading
for the beach.
Wear and wave your red, white, and blue as the salute
passes over. Shore goers are encouraged to share their pictures with organizers at salutefromtheshore.org/

Fireworks

the Round
in Rock Hall
Harbor
Story and Photo by Vicki Lathom
R
ock Hall is the little town that could -- and does
-- put on what some say is the most emotional and
powerful Fourth of July show on the Chesapeake
Bay. The town’s fireworks display traditionally
takes place July 3rd, which this year is Thursday.
In Rock Hall Harbor, all the seats for this event are the best
in house. The horseshoe-shaped harbor offers a unique setting for both the pyrotechnics and the choreographed patriotic music. With the large HiFi speakers, music literally
surrounds the anchored boats while the fireworks arch over
and reflect in the water.
Unique to Rock Hall is the harbor center, like a mound surrounded on the sides by the deeper water for navigating. The
best of the best seats are in the middle of the harbor, which
has a two- to three-foot depth. You will be right underneath
the fireworks and hear no finer version of “God Bless America” anywhere. Boats that have deeper drafts can reserve a slip
in one of the marinas or anchor just outside the harbor near
where the fireworks are launched at the entrance jetty.
32
Rock Hall makes Independence Day an all-weekend
event. Friday, the day after the fireworks, begins at 8 a.m.
with a five-mile foot race. Then, at 10 a.m., Main Street becomes the scene of an old-fashioned parade, which ends
at the community center with festivities, local food, games,
music and crafts. Sunday is Waterman’s Day on the harbor
bulkhead where, starting at noon, operators of local workboats participate in contests to test their skills in anchoring
and docking. The town sets up bleachers for people to observe and cheer their favorites on.
This year will mark 19 years of this remarkable fireworks
display put on by the Rock Hall Fireworks Committee and
the city, earning the little Eastern Shore waterfront community the reputation of being a prominent destination for
Chesapeake Bay cruisers.
Make a weekend out of viewing fireworks displays on the
Chesapeake. On Friday take in either Annapolis or Baltimore then on Saturday cruise on up to Havre de Grace for
one of the best shows in the northern Bay.

Dive Shipwrecks Along
Maritime Heritage Trail
All photos courtesy of National Park Service
by Rafael Lima
Mapping the Erl King
A 19th Century sailing vessel near Fowley Rocks
in the Biscayne National Park
N
ew Year’s Eve, 1965, a gleaming Brigantine
schooner sailed on a brisk north wind toward the
lights of Miami.
Mandalay, elegant in her mahogany, brass
and ivory trim, rose and fell above the waves while 23 wellheeled vacationers strolled her teak decks the last night of
a 10-day Bahamas cruise. After the partying, her passengers retired to their staterooms. So did the skipper, Capt.
Asmund Gjevick, leaving a novice seaman at the helm.
In the pre-dawn hours of the next day, the guests and
crew of the Mandalay were startled awake by the sound of
grating metal. The schooner’s steel hull was driven onto the
razor coral of Long Reef, several miles east of Elliott Key.
Rushing on deck, Gjevick realized he had miscalculated the distance from Fowey Rocks Lighthouse. The nov-
34
ice helmsman had no idea the schooner was 20 miles off
course. The gleaming luxury vessel’s steel hull was torn
open; she was sinking.
Today, the skeleton of the “Red carpet ship of the Windjammer fleet” can be found submerged on Long Reef in
Biscayne National Park. The coral-encrusted remains are
home to flurries of tropical fish.
Biscayne National Park has opened at least six sunken
wrecks to visitors on a series of snorkeling tours called The
Maritime Heritage Trail.
“Mandalay looks like a shipwreck dropped into an
aquarium,” said park Ranger Astrid Rybeck on a recent
snorkeling trip.
Along the Maritime Heritage Trail are shipwrecks that
span nearly 100 years and include schooners.
Snorkeling the Mandalay
as all necessary equipment (mask, fins, snorkel and snorkel
vest). Space is limited and reservations are required. Call
the park’s concessionaire at 305-230-1100, or visit their website for reservations.
All trips depart from the park’s Dante Fascell Visitor
Center, nine miles east of Homestead, and are subject
to cancellation due to weather, marine conditions and/or
passenger minimums.
If You Go
Bring plenty of sunscreen and mosquito repellent, or even
better, long sleeves and/or other clothing items for protection from the sun and biting insects. If you take the tour in
the summer months, no-see-’ems and mosquitoes can get
pretty bad in the parking lot and surrounding picnic areas.
The briefings about the park given by the rangers are excellent – full of interesting facts about the bio-diversity. Kids
are welcome and the snorkeling is well supervised.
Wrecks on the trail include:
Arratoon Apcar - Sank 1878
In the 1870s, Cape Florida Lighthouse was considered inadequate because of its distance from the reef line. When
Arratoon Apcar ran aground, it did so just a few hundred
yards from where workers were busy building the Fowey
Rocks Lighthouse.
Erl King - Sank 1891
Erl King reflects the early period of transition from wooden
sailing vessels to steel steamships.
Alicia - Sank 1905
Alicia was laden with silks and silverware when it ran
aground on Long Reef. The ensuing, often violent battles
among the 70 different groups of wreckers led to a permanent rewriting of U.S. salvage laws.
“We know of at least 44 wrecks within the park boundary
but there may be many, many more out there,” said the
park’s official archaeologist, Charles Lawson. “There may
be hundreds of wrecks out there. But we’ve started with offering trips to see [a limited number]. The tours are suitable
for the novice and experienced snorkeler alike but,” added
Lawson, “all participants must be able to swim.”
Lawson and Biscayne National Park rangers have mapped
all the wrecks and laid out mooring buoys for those who
want to explore from their own private vessels.
On the guided tours, a Biscayne National Park ranger will
provide an overview of the park and the submerged cultural resources before leading an exploration of a selected
shipwreck belonging to the Maritime Heritage Trail.
The $45 fee includes the boat ride with a ranger as well
Lugano - Sank 1913
At the time of its grounding, Lugano had been the largest
vessel ever to wreck in the Florida Keys.
Mandalay - Sank 1966
The steel-hulled schooner Mandalay was known as the
“Red Carpet Ship of the Windjammer Fleet” and was outfitted with a teak and mahogany deck.

Dungaroo, new name
in toilets
Story and photos by Kathy Bohanan Enzerink
A
s a youngster, Liz Morris wrote, “When I go to
work, I want to be the boss because I own the
company.” This precursor to her career was forgotten until Morris’ dad recently found the writing in a box of her childhood artwork. Today at age 28, she
is founder and CEO of Sanitation Creations, an entrepreneurial start-up company making Dungaroo toilets.
At 30 pounds, the eco-friendly, self-contained portable
toilet is odorless, waterless and made in America. When the
Dungaroo is flushed, an anti-microbial pellet drops into the
holding bag to treat the waste; a mechanism crimps the used
bag and lowers it into the base storage drawer as the new
bag is pulled into place. Simple. Use the toilet. Depress the
foot pedal to close the lid and flush. The toilet is ready for
the next user. No plumbing pipes. No electricity. No water.
With a bachelor’s degree in Packaging Science, Morris
needed a project for her master’s degree in Environmental Sciences and Engineering. Her professor, who had just returned
from working with the World Health Organization, asked Morris, “How would you feel about packaging poop?” She researched with Engineers Without Borders on their worldwide
water and sanitation projects. She found a Swedish non-profit
which developed a bag to collect waste, and traveled to Peru
to learn the needs and wants in a developing country.
By graduation, she decided, “this is something that could
work,” and started a business plan. Twenty-plus drawings
and four prototypes later, Morris had her toilet, which needed a name. She consulted friends and fellow students in her
Entrepreneurial class at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. “We were sitting around, tossing out names
and ideas, but nothing clicked,” said Morris. “Then one of
my friends, and I don’t remember which one, said Dungaroo. It made me laugh so hard. It was perfect.”
At 18x18x20 inches, each Dungaroo supply kit accommodates 30 bathroom uses, making it ideal for boats and
recreational vehicles. To eliminate odors, the non-toxic
anti-microbial pellet changes the PH levels of the waste,
so naturally occurring bacteria and viruses can’t survive. It
turns bio-hazardous waste into trash which is safe to throw
away in any garbage can.
“For now, the focus is on improving the comfort and
cleanliness of portable toilets in this country,” said Morris.
“We will assemble the toilets in the Southeast with prod-
36
ucts supplied from Georgia and North and South Carolina,” said Morris.
Sanitation Creations, headquartered in Raleigh, will donate ten percent of its profits to supply Dungaroo toilets
to developing countries. “My long-term goal is to help the
2.5 billion people around the world without access to adequate sanitation.”
In 2011, the five-foot-two Morris ran her first marathon
in January, graduated in August and started the company.
“Running a marathon and starting a business are similar,”
she said. “You hit a wall and find a way to work through it.” Introduced at the Miami Boat Show in February, production of the Dungaroo is on hold for a year. The finish line
is in sight, just as the bridge goes up. “It was my first race
and I had to wait to cross the line,” said Morris. “This year is
going to be that bridge.”
“I love doing what I do,” said Morris. “I love working toward a dream.

There’s An Ocean Between
Saying and Doing
by Terry Boram
Photos courtesy of Riaan Manser
R
iaan Manser vividly remembers the exact moment his life changed forever. After another long
week managing clinics for a medical company in
South Africa, he went for a run in a particularly
beautiful wooded park, stopping at a rock to catch his
breath. “In that moment, as I was looking at the beauty
all around me, I suddenly realized that I wasn’t happy. Oh
sure there was money in the bank and I had a beautiful
girlfriend but I realized there was more to life. I didn’t
get off that rock until I made a choice to change my life.”
One year later Riaan was bicycling around the perimeter
of Africa, alone and unsupported. So began his career as
an adventurer.
Riaan followed his successful two-year Africa adventure
with a solo kayak trip around Madagascar, the fourth largest island in the world. Since severe loneliness plagued him
during those journeys, in 2011 he partnered with Dan Skinstad to circumnavigate Iceland in a double sea-kayak.
Vasti Geldenhuys, his girlfriend of fourteen years, was extremely supportive of Riaan’s chosen path. One evening,
while discussing what adventure Riaan would take on next,
Vasti said she too wanted to do something significant with
her life. “As the conversation progressed, she kiddingly said
38
she wanted to visit New York. I told her okay but we were
going to go my way.” That was April 2013. Eight months later the couple boarded their custom row boat named Spirit
of Madiba, in honor of Nelson Mandela, for their adventure
dubbed Take Me 2 New York (TM2NY).
Their plan was to row 20 hours a day, each taking twohour shifts, averaging boat speeds of two to three knots.
Paddle
After leaving Morocco December 30, 2013 they realized
Vasti was not strong enough to row their 23-foot boat
alone. They altered their routine, rowing eight to ten hours
in a 12-hour shift, breaking for meals and to watch amazing sunsets. They held to that plan until they approached
the Bahamas where varying conditions required they adjust
rowing routines to maintain progress. Wind was truly their
enemy throughout the entire journey.
As in Riaan’s previous expeditions, the TM2NY journey
was unsupported. However unsupported didn’t mean without contact. Solar panels powered an array of electronics
including iPads, VHF radio, a chart plotter and a satellite
phone. A desalination system provided the fresh water
needed to rehydrate the high calorie freeze dried meals
stowed on board. Most importantly, they also carried personal locator beacons and an emergency position-indicating radio beacon. “If something goes horribly wrong, at
least the closest ship will get the signal” said Riaan.
The couple also placed a Yellowbrick tracking device aboard
their boat to enable family, friends and supporters to follow
their progress. When in good satellite range Yellowbrick also
allowed them to send short messages for all to see.
A message sent February 20, 2014 was one they hoped
they would never have to send. “Five-meter wave hit us.
Capsized boat.” A thousand miles past the Canary Islands,
Vasti spotted the swell that would capsize the boat, throwing Riaan overboard. Her Vasti held on literally for dear life
as the boat rolled upside down, Vasti’s foot stuck in the
footholds. Within seconds the boat righted itself with Vasti
still in her seat and Riaan amazingly clinging to a rope several feet away from the boat.
Though frightened, they were both very lucky to be uninjured. The Spirit of Madiba was not so lucky. The wave took
out the Imtech Communication Satellite phone they used
to do radio interviews, send photos for articles Riaan was
writing along the way and for their important weekly contact with loved ones. Vasti especially missed her emotional,
yet rejuvenating Sunday calls with her parents.
“Every jog in the Yellowbrick tracking tells a story,” Riaan
said. “Though I trust my staff with my life, it was always an
uneasy feeling, relying on a third party for our forecast. In
hindsight, I would have spent more time with my staff prior
to leaving, studying forecasts together so that we were
clearly on the same page when predicting weather.”
One of Riaan’s most memorable moments was when he
saw land for the first time. April 15, after 74 days at sea, San
Salvador Island in the Bahamas came into sight. “We were
very emotional,” said Riaan, realizing later, they had landed
within one kilometer of where Christopher Columbus reportedly made landfall in 1492. News of their arrival spread
quickly throughout the island. “The people of San Salvador
were so welcoming, accommodating and eager to help.”
Vasti’s most memorable moments were when wildlife
came to visit. “Whales would swim alongside us for hours.
We just had to make a stop in Sanibel Cay for her to see the
swimming pigs,” beamed Riaan.
Hearing stories about the infamous Gulf Stream, the
couple was prepared for anything the stream would throw
at them. “We were fortunate to have taken an unexpected
detour en route from the Bahamas to Miami. That delay allowed the Gulf Stream to settle enough to make the crossing uneventful.” May 7, after 134 days at sea and over 5,000
miles, Riaan and Vasti made history, landing on U.S. soil in
Miami. The couple shared a hug and a kiss before landing
in the record books as the first couple to row from mainland
Africa to mainland North America. “If Vasti wasn’t with me, I
wouldn’t have been able to have this moment,” Riaan said.
May 7, after 134 days at sea and over 5,000
miles, Riaan and Vasti made history, landing
on U.S. soil in Miami.
They remained in Miami to rest their bodies, reprovision,
and to make themselves available for the press. “Our plan
is to leave Miami, heading directly out to the Gulf Stream
and ride it all the way up to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina,”
said Riaan. “From there we will finish our journey rowing
into New York harbor.”
Leaving Miami May 15, they headed out to sea only to
be greeted by a vicious storm that spawned tornadoes
and torrential downpours. Riaan said the rains almost sank
their boat, nearly ending their adventure. Luckily they
made it safely back to Haulover Park further up Miami
Beach and waited for the northerly system to subside before beginning again.
Sailors say never cross the Gulf Stream with a North wind
in the forecast. Northerly winds prevailed for well over a
week after that first attempt. Friday, May 23 at 9:00 a.m.,
Riaan and Vasti were finally heading back out to sea where
they honestly felt the most comfort. The evening before
their departure Vasti reflected on the journey ahead. “I am
scared. Don’t know what to expect from the Gulf Stream,
especially in a row boat! The best thing for my nerves is
to get into the boat and just row. Giant seas or not. It still
feels unreal, the fact we have done this amazing journey
successfully. Well almost, just another 960 nm to go! What
a privilege.”
All At Sea will continue to follow Riaan and Vasti on the final
leg of their journey.

Live Watersports
Enjoying Life

T
here is no question that stand-up paddleboarding
has exploded into one of the most popular and
fastest growing water sports today. As the sport
grows so do companies supplying quality equipment to fill paddlers’ needs. Florida-based Live Watersports
is just such a company and like the industry it supplies, it is
now growing ever more successful. The company growth
40
can be credited to its innovative boards, hard working leadership and the efforts of a talented team.
There are plenty of paddleboards on the market today
with new models constantly being introduced. To stand out
from the crowd in a growing market a board must be innovative, well made, and must serve the needs of those who
will paddle it. Live Watersports has managed to produce a
Even with a great product, getting the word out can be
difficult. Not so for John and Joana. They bought a used
RV and a trailer to haul their demo boards, and they hit the
road with their 15-year-old son and eight-month-old baby.
Taking three months, white knuckling it through the winter season they drove south to Key West first, then up the
coast to New York, Michigan and on to Toronto, Ontario,
stopping at dealers at all points along the way. Paddling in
snow and ice they signed up dealer after dealer. Suffering
blowouts and near misses with low bridges, the Cleckners,
feeling more like the Griswalds at times, were able to add
a strong list of loyal dealers to their business. The trip was
so successful, they are planning another marketing voyage
this summer with stops along the Gulf Coast, Texas and on
to California and beyond.
Live Watersports’ company phrase, “what do you live
for?” is not just a question for them. It is also a statement. They obviously live for their boards and the paddling life.

line of boards that does all three. All are built on the same
unique design premise created with an emphasis on stability and speed by designer Bob Brodhead,.
Unlike many standard paddleboards with flat or almost
flat bottoms, the three models Live Watersports offers utilize varying forms of a catamaran style hull design. At first
glance the L2Sport looks like a standard performance touring or racing board at 12’ 6” long and 29” wide standing
7” tall. One look at the bottom, however, will differentiate
it from the crowd. Sporting Live Watersports’ catamaran
design, it has an inverted v shape that runs down the full
length of the center of the board, creating outboard catamaran type hulls. These integrated hulls translate to less
wet surfaces, less friction and higher speeds with less effort.
An added bonus to this design is incomparable stability. It
takes standing on one of these boards to appreciate fully
how stable (and effortlessly fast) they are.
The L2Utility has a similar hull design but a more
rounded nose and at 12’ long with a wider beam of 32’,
this board is even more stable. It is touted as the “SUV
of stand-up paddle boards.” It is a great board for fishing, yoga, paddling alone or with a child or dog, and is a
great option for larger paddlers (many pro athletes such
as NFL players are choosing Live Watersports boards for
their paddle workouts).
The third board in their lineup is a unique design looking
unlike any other paddleboards. The L2Fish is a true catamaran board with two hulls joined by a large deck. The result is
a board with tremendous capacity (over 500 lbs.), incomparable stability, minimal drag and an impressive glide ratio.
At 12’ 6” long and 34” wide with a stance of 9”, this board
can be set up with coolers, seats and a wide array of accessories, including a trolling motor, making it the ultimate
utility board. Any of the three is a winning choice.

Day, Weekend or Cruising
Oc e a n i s 3 8 a d a p t s f o r a l l
By Kathy Bohanan Enzerink

L
aunched in 2013, the Oceanis 38 is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning sailboat built in the
United States. Marion, South Carolina to be exact.
Designed for single-handling, couples and family
sailing enthusiasts, this Bénéteau 38-footer boasts a choice
of three layouts. Element additions and subtractions may
be made to accommodate day, weekend and cruising sailors. Thus the motto, “Your Boat. Your Rules.”
One major, “Oh, wow!” factor is the interior, loft-inspired
vee-berth with a removable partition where it adjoins the
main salon. Gone is the stationary bulkhead with its closedin feeling. Touting, “almost everything becomes an option,” the Oceanis 38 offers choices for the number of open
or closed cabins, a separate shower cabin, a fitted galley
and helmsman seats.
Considered a “highly innovative evolving concept,” the
Oceanis 38 was awarded the European 2014 Yacht of the Year
42
in the Family Cruiser category at the Cannes Boat Show last
September, according to Maryline O’Shea, Bénéteau America
Marketing Director. The National Marine Manufacturers Association bestowed the 2014 Innovation award in the sailboat
category upon Oceanis 38 at the Miami Boat Show in February.
Bénéteau, the largest sailboat builder in the U.S. for craft
30 feet and up, nearly doubled the size of the Marion plant
when it reconfigured production procedures several years
ago. When the plant opened in 1986, each boat model was
built from start to finish on one assembly line. Employees
moved from line to line and boat to boat. Today, Bénéteau
AMERICA builds six Oceanis models from 31 to 45 feet in
length in what is “considered to be an advanced marine
factory.” The wood and mold units for each boat begin
simultaneously in different sections of the plant. Gaining
components at the assembly stations, they come together
at the end of the line. Precision is key.
Sail
As he showed off the plant, Ward Richardson, Customer
Service Supervisor, explained every station is allotted the
same amount of time to complete their work for each boat,
regardless of the model. Period. No exceptions. When the
button is pushed and the boats are repositioned to the next
assembly station, all tasks must be finished. There might
be one or two people at a location where the workload is
light, but when it comes to installing plumbing and electrical systems for instance, there is a buzz of activity to meet
the timing deadline. Precision in teamwork.
“We use an open-mold process on the hull with each piece
soaked in resin then put in place by hand,” said Richardson.
“The deck closed-mold system regulates resin amounts,
making the Oceanis models lighter and faster.” Precision ensures every model is exactly the same, every time.
“New models come with big technology changes,” said
Richardson. “We change models every three to six years;
it’s what keeps us going.”
Custom to all Bénéteau boats are the colors, which are
owned by the company. With an in-house wood shop, Bénéteau no longer orders kits from France, but now cuts and
assembles interior finishes and cabinets on site. Specific to
the Oceanis 38 is a plastic toe rail which has the look and
feel of real teak.
“We’re very excited about Bénéteau’s joint collaboration
with the ASA, American Sailing Association, on the design
of a new, exclusive training vessel,” said O’Shea. The First
22 ASA will be built at our Marion plant and is scheduled to
debut this fall.
