Dear Editor,
While I got a kick out of your article, Yacht Crew Relations – Reality of Coupling
on the High Seas, the author made it sound very retro with the sentence, "In a
perfect world, they get married and the wife moves ashore to start their family." Um, really? In what decade? 1950? And I bet she had a cute apron with a
sailboat embroidered on it as well.
My point is, I like your publication. You cover topics many boating sites or
publications do not. But please, don't start falling into the demographic trap
that many of them seem to. I am probably twenty years younger than the average sailor, own my own boat, am a female, prefer to man the helm not the
galley, and can go a week without a proper shower when needed. I want to
continue to read your publication, but won't if I see many sentences such as
these in your work.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Lisa Beavers
Dear Ms. Beavers,
I love that you read it BUT I love it even more that you shared your thoughts with
us. Thank you so much!
You've got a great point and in hindsight, it's interesting that it was written by
a woman AND edited further by several women.
Keep on reading ALL AT SEA and keep on sending your thoughts!

sea trials, Finish Line, its custom designed 120’ (36.7m) raised
pilothouse superyacht with aluminum hull and superstructure,
has been delivered. Finish Line represents the proud realization

Remembering George Hommell Jr.
It’s impossible to fly fish in the Florida Keys without feeling the influence of George Hommell Jr. His name can be
found on famed tarpon honey holes (Hommell’s Corner) and
important shrimp fly patterns (Hommell Evil Eye), and he is
credited with refining the techniques for poling for bonefish.
But despite his many fishing successes—he was the goto guide for sports legends Ted Williams and Jack Nicklaus
and President George H.W. Bush—Hommell may be best
known for what he did off the water.
Along with Carl Navarre and Billy Pate, he founded the
landmark World Wide Sportsman shop in Islamorada.
10
Hommell was also one of the first proponents of catch
and release fishing and became a founding director of the
Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (BTT). In 2002, he was named one
of NOAA’s environmental heroes in recognition of his numerous contributions to conservation causes.
Sadly, Hommell passed away at age 88 at the end of
August. A fund has been established in his honor by the
BTT, to continue his deep commitment to preserving his
beloved fishery. Donations to the George Hommell Jr. Florida Keys Habitat Fund are being accepted by mail at 24

NC Ferry Rescues Boaters
The crew of the M/V Cedar Island pulled two survivors of a
sailboat accident from the rough waters of Pamlico Sound
on a night run in late September. The ferry, which carries passengers from Ocracoke to Cedar Island, N.C., was nearby
when John and Renee Hoffman capsized due to high wind.
Capt. Steven Goodwin was able to maneuver the ferry into
position to launch the ferry’s 16-foot rescue boat, and crew
members Glenn Salter and Daniel Smith piloted the rescue boat in four- to five-foot seas and 30-knot winds. “They
risked their lives to get those people out of the water,” said
Goodwin. “They deserve all the credit. They performed the
rescue at night in some of the worst conditions possible.”
As the rescue boat returned to the ferry and the crew
brought the Hoffmans on board, the 15 passengers already
on the ferry erupted into cheers. “We were very lucky they
were so close by and able to get to us,” said John Hoffman.
“They probably saved our lives.”

“I could not have designed a better stage for the future of
the Hunt Yachts’ brand, legacy and products than this new
ownership and partnership with Scout Partners and Hinckley,” said Hunt’s President Peter Van Lancker. “I can tell you
that [Scout principal] David Howe and the Hinckley team
share the passion and enthusiasm to ensure Hunt Yachts of
even greater growth, success and innovation going forward.”
Hinckley President and CEO Jim McManus commented
on the acquisition of Hunt, “We welcome Peter Van Lancker, all the Hunt Yachts employees and owners to the family of Scout companies. The two companies have much to
share and represent a wonderful cultural pairing.”
According to a company press release, the most immediate synergy is in the Hinckley service yards, which will now
have a direct pipeline to Hunt parts and technical advice to
service Hunt products.
Hunt will operate under the name Hunt Yachts LLC and will
maintain the same relationship it has had with C. Raymond
Hunt Associates as the exclusive designer

Besides the benefits of fingertip maneuvering in close
quarters and around the docks, the Cummins system
comes with a new class of DC thrusters and Extended Run
Thruster technology. This technology has been validated
for longer operation than traditional DC thrusters, reducing
the historical thermal trip concerns with standard DC thrusters during extended dockside maneuvering.
Cummins also offers Thruster Monitoring to alert the
captain to excessive thruster use. If the thruster is used excessively, the indicator light will blink to inform the operator
that he or she may be pushing the thruster into thermal trip,
or draining the batteries to an unacceptable level.
The entire system will be serviced and supported by the
Cummins global network, and backed by a 2-year/1,000hour warranty.

gaff storage, as many as five in-sole fish boxes and a cockpit
big enough to fish four anglers at a time. Bespoke cabin
decor, refrigerated fish boxes, a custom fighting chair, and

The new 64 and 84 custom sportfish models, hulls No.
59 and 60 for the company, were designed with specific
input to meet the desires of their owners—with highlights
including extra large cockpits, fuel capacities and accommodations. “Finding a builder that understands how our
family likes to use our boat and builds that perfect interpretation again and again is more than most can ask for,”
said Harris Huddle, owner of the new 64, his fourth Jarrett
Bay. “But to have that same builder go above and beyond
for the life of your boat, and then some, is more than most
can deliver. We’re looking forward to our next adventure
with the Jarrett Bay family.”
Trinity’s Patriot Vessel
Her owner is hopeful that she will serve as inspiration to
other yachtsmen to build in the U.S., and with her sleek naval architecture and good looks, Finish Line might just do it.
The 120-foot raised pilothouse yacht can top 23 knots, with
a range of more than 3,600 nautical miles, and her draft is
five-and-a-half feet at half load, enabling her to access shallower water ports on the East Coast and in the Bahamas.
“Finish Line has been a deeply gratifying build for us,”
said John Dane, president of Trinity Yachts. “Her owner,
truly an American patriot, built the yacht here in the U.S.
to create jobs. Over the life of the yacht, additional laborer
jobs will be created and will perpetuate the economic value
that all yachts bring local communities.”
The yacht boasts a full-beam owner’s cabin and three
guest staterooms, all with private full heads. Forward of
the watertight bulkhead separating the guest and crew
areas are three crew cabins and heads. On deck, she features an air-conditioned aft deck with full bar and dining table for eight. The main salon has another bar and
entertainment area with custom sofas and lounges. The
open formal dining room is forward, as is the galley. The
top sun deck holds a helm station, wet bar, chairs and
tables, and a davit to handle the tenders and two personal watercraft.
Finish Line is powered by twin MTU 16v2000 main engines rated at 2,600 hp each, driving six-bladed propellers
via six-inch shafts and ZF 3370 gearboxes. A 100-hp Arcturus TRAC bowthruster assists the captain when handling
the yacht in tight quarters, and electrical power is supplied
by two Kohler 80-kW generators.

Mercury’s Eco Prop
How can a piece of stainless-steel

design, according to Mercury
ry

it says results in less drag at
cruising speeds, which increases

fuel efficiency, and therefore,, lessens its carbon footprint.
“Mercury Marine already produces
fuel-efficient engines, as well
ell as driver
aids such as the ECO Screen display,” said
id
Jared Reichenberger, brand manager for Mercury
Propellers. “As marina gasoline prices have continued to
rise, however, customers are increasingly focused on fuel
economy. We realized an appreciable fuel economy gain
could be found in the design of the propeller itself.”
Mercury engineers designed the new Enertia ECO
propeller with a 16-inch diameter, large blade area and
a high progressive rake, a combination made possible
only through using Mercury’s proprietary X7 stainless
steel alloy.
At cruising speeds, the Enertia ECO posts a minimum
of 10 percent fuel economy gain compared to Mercury’s
already efficient line of offshore propellers.
This gain translates to dollars as the typical
offshore boater averages nearly 100 hours on
o
the water each year. In addition to saving month
ey, the prop provides additional range from each
tank of fuel.

Record Sale for Grady-White CEO
A car owned first by Eddie Smith and then by Eddie Smith
Jr. of Grady-White Boats recently sold at auction for $27.5
million. The 1967 Ferrari was one of only 10 built, and the
fact that it had only been owned by the Smiths increased
interest to the point that the sale set a world record.
In a grand act of kindness, the family plans to give all
proceeds to various charities. “You think about, you know,
what this car is probably going to sell for,” said Eddie Smith
Jr. in an interview on CBS This Morning. “It’s pretty neat to
think about the fact that thousands and thousands of lives
will be touched in some way.”

SCOUT BOATS SCOUTS
OUT THE FUTURE
BY SUZI DURANT

BOAT
C
urrent boating logic says that introducing kids to
the water early creates life-long boaters. If that’s
true, Steve Potts, CEO and founder of Scout
Boats, is a prime example. Not only did he like
boating as a youngster but, as a teenager, he actually
worked for a company in the Charleston, S.C. area that built
a 14’ boat called a Scout.
When Steve decided to build boats himself, he turned to
his youthful endeavors and secured permission to use the
Scout name. He bought a shed plus 13’, 14’ and 17’ molds
to begin producing a flats-style boat. It wasn’t all smooth
sailing. The first plant was opened in 1989 with three employees. Shortly afterward, Hurricane Hugo destroyed most
of the building. It took two months to rebuild.
Potts’s son Stevie, now vice president of product development, joined the Summerville, S.C. manufacturer in
1992 while he was still in school. He came aboard full
time in 1995 and continues to help grow the production
line. Scout Boats has now produced over 30,000 hulls in
50 models.
The inherent philosophy behind their boats has not
changed, even as the company is approaching its 25th
anniversary. Potts wants designs that work, so Scout continually develops innovative construction methods that
increase not only performance but also strength and
safety. The creativity of the various models appeals to all
levels of the boating population, from flats to offshore
fishermen to families that just want to have a good time
together. The universal appeal has led Scout through
a seamless transition from a very basic flats boat to sophisticated center console fishing boats, to ever more
elegant multi-purpose center console boats.
Scout’s innovations include binding the hull to the
deck through a reverse shoebox hull/deck design that
prevents water getting between the joint, increasing
the strength of the hull. Another was to use composite
stringers in the boat construction, eliminating the use of
wood that can rot.
The Scout Strata-Mount system for engines uses a factory molded bracket that allows the two main longitudinal grid stringers to pass through the composite transom to be integrated into the engine mount. The natural
stresses of the engines are then spread out over the entire hull.
The Air-Assist stepped hull came about in 2006 when
the father-son team wanted to “develop a smaller boat
with the features and feel of the sportfishing yacht.” They
looked at the multi-million dollar sportfish boat market
where, according to Steve, “customers were talking about
down-sizing to cabin express models that felt like a big
trailerable boat.”
17
Scout Boats Scouts Out the Future
They approached well-known naval architect Michael Peters to design the stepped hull that decreases the time to
plane, improves overall handling and even improves fuel
economy. It was used in 2008 on the first Abaco 350, a truly
different type of boat that combined a large fishing area
with streamlined, easily accessible mechanics and instruments, and a casually elegant cabin that can accommodate
4-5 people in comfort.
Along the way, Scout developed and patented a
sleek, swept-back powder-coated T-Top. It has a style
more European-like that flows with the lines of the boat.
It can also house an optional fiberglass sunshade that
extends over the cockpit by electronic controls at the
helm station.
Not content to rest on their laurels, the Potts “went back
to school” to design the 350 LXF, changing the modular
structure by incorporating the same adhesives used by
Boeing, and altering the running surface length by changing the two-step hull to a three-step hull.
Introduced in 2012, Steve said the LXF series “will appeal to the same fishing audience as before but, by creating creature comforts, it appeals to a broader audience.”
He explained, “The stern is where you fish; the entertaining
area is in the really unique bow area with a grill, sink, armrests that convert to back rests with the flip of a switch.” The
18
series comes in 27 to 35 foot models; a 38- and 42- footer
are in the works.
Steve promises that while the Scout brand is “making
pretty strong inroads in the bigger boats,” Scout “will continue to update and develop boats under 20 feet.”
That continued commitment was definitely shown as the
marine industry began to recover from the recession. Scout
helped its dealers reduce inventory during 2009, rewarding them the following year when the company came out
strong, introducing an all new line of 17-foot models. The
177 Series includes the Sport, Sportfish, Dorado and Winyah models, designed “around four identified customer
types and what packages they would like to see,” Steve
pointed out. Each is unique as well as easy to handle and
maintain, another Scout characteristic.
The emphasis on continually developing new features
and designs permeates the company. Dave Wallace,
Scout’s General Manager, told me several years ago that
the Scout concept “is more than a fishing boat. We like to
be in the forefront of creative boating ideas,” including
offering Guy Harvey editions and special features.

Scout’s innovations include binding the hull to
the deck through a reverse shoebox hull/deck
design that prevents water getting between
the joint, increasing the strength of the hull.
Steve added recently, “Others don’t put the same emphasis on design. They put more emphasis on high performance. I want to be in the same trend-setting place
but with performance boats with yacht-like features.”
He paused…”We’ll continue to compete with the higher
end coastal fishing boats but our performance will set us
apart. I know there’s a way to design high performance
and luxury!”
What’s next? A new 42-foot LSXF is the biggest venture
yet. A test boat has been built and was at Yamaha this
spring trying out quad 350s. At full load, the boat is approaching 70 mph. Steve says it will be the flagship of the
LXSF series that will sleep four and have an enclosed head.
“It will look like a center console but will have the accommodations of a walkaround.”
Scout Boats remains a family-owned and managed
company. Amidst all the economic turmoil, it is, amazingly
enough, debt free.
So, after almost 25 years running the same company, still
coming in six days a week, is Steve tiring of the job? His
answer: “If I had all the money in the world, I would still be
messing around with and building boats!”

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN
A CENTER CONSOLE:
CO N S T R U C T I O N
BY DOUG SIMMONS
The 327 Center Console from Intrepid Powerboats.
I
n the second part of our series on what to look for in
a center console boat, we talked with our panel of experts about construction. Here’s what they had to say.
Joan Maxwell, Regulator Boats
“Weight, which to us is fiberglass content,
is the most important thing. Heavier boats
ride better in rough conditions. The downside to weight is that the boat typically will
not be as fast in calm water, but let’s face it,
there are more rough days offshore than slick-calm ones!
“Construction should include components that have
been tested to hold up in the harsh marine environment:
Duetsche wire connectors, so there isn’t corrosion and loss
20
of electrical power; easy access to through-hull fittings,
pumps and hoses, so they can periodically be inspected.
“Look out for wood in the transom, stringers and decks.
Potential rot is the main culprit, leading to expensive repairs later on.”
Ken Clinton, Intrepid Boats
“It’s important to understand how the fiberglass parts are built. You don’t need to
be a chemist to understand how they’re
constructed and what materials they’re using. Have the manufacturer explain what
they use, how they use it and why they use it.
Regulator Marine

hull by hand.

Heavier boats ride better in rough conditions.
The downside to weight is that the boat
typically will not be as fast in calm water.
“Is there any wood in the construction? Are they using
pure vinylester resins? Are they infusing or hand-laying everything verses using a chopper gun?
“It’s also important to ask what they’re using to put their
individual fiberglass parts together. You can build the strongest parts in the world, but if they aren’t put together properly, they’re useless. Are they prepping each part properly
to be sure that what they’re using actually adheres? How all
of the major fiberglass pieces come together determines if
they stay together.”
Les Stewart, Jr., Contender
“We recommend you ask what kind of
resins and fiberglass are used and educate yourself on that, so you understand
the broad spectrum. Do they use balsa
core or composite core? Wood is superior for hull sides, when things are done correctly. We
find it decreases weight and increases the integrity of
hull. You have to use more composite to achieve the
same strength.
“Is it a two-piece or three-piece construction? Threepiece construction is very sturdy. Also, ask about the transom and stringers. Composite transoms and stringers keep
the weight down and are strong. Our stringer system is built

What to Look For in a Center Console: Construction
Regulator’s commitment to
superior engineering and
craftsmanship is continually
measured and adjusted.

mold at Grady-White.
There are probably only five manufacturers who make unsinkable center consoles.
How important is that to you? Because that level of safety and peace of mind costs money.
for each boat, so we have the ability to move things around
to add features and increase fuel capacity yet maintain an
optimal center of gravity.”
Bryan Harris, Everglades
“Another question is do you want an
unsinkable boat or not? There are probably only five manufacturers who make
unsinkable center consoles. How important is that to you? Because that level of
safety and peace of mind costs money.
“We build our boats around pre-molded foam. We
take solid pieces of foam that we lay down in the hull
bottom and lay the liner around that, then we vacuum it
all together. This means our boats end up being solid,
one-piece boats. Other boats remain different components, and things tend to twist and flex and move around
over time, which can possibly lead to structural problems
later in the life of a boat.”
22
Alan Lang, Scout Boats
“Unsinkability and 100-percent hand-laid
construction are important. Both are directly related to safety and reliability. Boats
built with chopper guns are more resin-rich
and don’t have quite the strength that a
100-percent hand-laid boat would.
“A boat not being NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) certified would raise a red flag. There
are several builders who do not build their boats to any
‘standards.’ Ours are built to NMMA, Coast Guard, CE
and ABYC (American Boat & Yacht Council) certifications.”
John Caballero, SeaVee
“It’s important that the manufacturer use
the best materials possible. We use PVC
core and urethane transoms, and everything is through-bolted. By doing so, you
ensure the longevity of the product. Also,

vacuum bagging the lamination can avoid cavities and ensure the proper ratio of resins.
“It’s always a good idea to ask about the engineering,
especially these days. We spend a lot of time on the computer before a plug is ever built, seeing how far we can
push the design. This makes for a more substantial and balanced finished product. We have some hardcore fisherman,
and the boats are throttled up and launched, and they just
keep on going.”
Shelley Tubuagh, Grady-White
“Having a completely sealed cockpit with
overboard drains, self-draining by gravity,
is a very nice feature. This means the whole
boat can be evacuated of water without
having a bilge pump or anything, which is
important if you get caught in a storm offshore or take a
wave over the side.”

AN OPEN LETTER ON RESPECT
TO T H E MA R I N E S E R V I C E E X P E R T S O F T H E W O R L D,
F R O M YO U R T Y P I C A L D F O
BY CAP’N FATTY GOODLANDER
I
realize you know more about your field than I - that’s
precisely why I hired you. In fact, I am paying your company about five times what I earn, on average, an hour.
Just like you, I too, am a working man, and yes, I’m
careful with my pennies. As expensive as you are, though,
I do not begrudge you your wage. I will pay in full, and pay
without complaint, to all we have agreed upon.
However, there seems to be a misunderstanding. You are
28
obviously irritated at my “interference,” as it has been referred to. But I don’t think of it as interference. I think of it
as making sure the job is done correctly.
Even if you were the most ‘expert’ of all the experts AND
you worked with utter, ruthless efficiency AND you accomplished your assigned task perfectly - I would still have to
inspect your work both during and after its completion.
I realize you don’t know or care about my personal his-
tory, but I’ve lived aboard and ocean sailed for over 53 years
now. I’m currently on my third circumnavigation. I’ve accomplished this in all oceans and through all types of weather
without major catastrophe, in large part because I realize
that I, as captain, am responsible for each and everything
(without exception) pertaining to my vessel.
Please allow me to explain: my life and my wife’s life depend upon my vessel functioning flawlessly under the most
extreme conditions. This is not an exaggeration. You’re
here to install vital electronics; if my GPS blinks off or my
depth meter misreads, our very lives can be endangered.
If, someday, I am involved in a marine catastrophe and
there is a U.S. Coast Guard Court of Inquiry, I won’t be able
to skate (legally, morally, or professionally) by offering the
lame excuse, “…gee, it ain’t my fault. It’s that blonde dude
who loves Reggae music and works for Marvelous Marvel’s
Marine Electronics in Miami - he’s the one responsible for
the drowning, not me!”
No, that won’t cut it. The buck stops here. So yes, the
work has to be done to my satisfaction and the industry
standard. “Good enough,” isn’t - not when I’m paying the
big bucks.
Alas, you’ve proven you are not the most expert, most efficient, nor the very best at what you do. Not by a long shot.
Your arrogance is unearned.
It’s about time!!
Any Boat. Anywhere. Anytime.
#ARIBBEANs.ORTH!MERICAs"AHAMASs3AIPANs%UROPE
Please allow me to explain: my life and my
wife’s life depend upon my vessel functioning
flawlessly under the most extreme conditions.
This is not an exaggeration.
Here are a few suggestions, drawn from my most recent
encounter with your kind:
1. Telling me to meet you at the boat and have it prepped
for your arrival at 8 AM and then showing up at 2 PM the
following day isn’t cool. My time might not be worth much,
but it is as dear to me as yours is to you.
2. Hard-soled shoes embedded with rocks are a nono, period.
3. When stripping wires, the tiny ends of insulation should
be properly disposed of each time. The habit of flinging
two dozen bits of plastic around my bilges and then collecting six or eight of them when you’re done is not sufficient.
They can stop a bilge pump cold with dire results.
4. I live aboard. So you can’t just knock off on Friday with
the boat torn up and your tools spread about with the excuse that it will let you ‘get right to it’ on Monday.
5. If we agree for you to show me the SWR meter reading
of the SSB antenna, you cannot then say, “the SWR is fine.
That’s how we do all the backstay antennas!” I don’t care if
29
An Open Letter on Respect
you THINK it is fine, I want you to demonstrate it to me per
our initial agreement.
6. Do not lose parts - not yours, and especially not mine.
The fact that you ultimately left two different expensive
tools in my bilge (which I had to go to considerable expense and trouble to return) isn’t so bad. The fact that you
lost the metric couplers to my French autopilot is.
7. Your choice in music is none of my business - that is until
it’s issued from my cockpit speakers in the marina. Common
decency should prevail. Don’t turn on my cockpit speakers
while working on the radar dome, put on a song about anal
sex and shooting cops, and leave for a two-hour lunch. My
neighbor wasn’t particularly fond of either of those subjects, and he told me so in no uncertain terms.
8. Prolonged phone sex is best enjoyed on your dime,
not mine. Mobile phones are marvelous things. I am glad
you are getting laid often and have a number of ‘outside’
girlfriends.
9. Yes, you’re worth every penny while adjusting my radar,
interfacing the autopilot and hydraulic pump, and getting
all the NEMA crap to talk to each other, but most of your
time is spent doing far more mundane things. A number of
times you had to ‘return to the shop’ for more terminals,
etc. What should have been 15-minute trips took more than
hours, for which I was billed in full.
10. I know this is the free-wheeling tropics, but if you drink
your lunch, you might consider using mouthwash. I don’t
want to be worrying that you’re gonna explode in the bilge
in the early afternoon.
11. As far as the soldiering and resin drops go, my wife
Carolyn does our varnish. You better not let her catch you
in a dark alley.
I could go on and on, but those were the worst offenses.
I won’t count that you left the radar dome off and went to
lunch as that thunderstorm skirted by; that the drill holes in
the lower bulkheads weren’t sealed nor grommetted; nor
that your post-installation looming put excessive pressure
on a number of delicate, easily-parted connections.
Confession: when I asked you if your work met the ABYS
code and you blithely replied yes, it was a trick question. It
is almost impossible to comply with—or even fully understand—all of ‘em within your wide-ranging field.
However, I did expect you to have a working knowledge
of the more commonly accepted practices when it came to
electrical installations. How wrong I was!
Why no drip-loops when it is such a fast, easy, penniless,
and traditional way to ensure that water from the downward-sloping antenna cable doesn’t enter the unit?
Now, if you are reading this, you are probably steaming.
You feel that I am picking on you unfairly, and that I have no
30
real idea of what your job entails and, thus, am not qualified
to accurately judge its complexities.
Maybe so.
But in the early ‘70s I worked for a shipyard as their sole
employee. If the customer wanted his bottom scrubbed, I
was billed at one price; for wood work, at another price;
and for electronics, yet a third.
If I was send out to fix a radar, I was told to bring two tool
bags, and leave one on the dock. Once aboard, the first
thing I was told to try was to carefully clean, spray, and test
all the radar’s connections. If that didn’t work, I was told
to ask the owner to fetch my tool bag on the dock—and
repeated whack the unit with the palm of my hand while he
was absent. If that didn’t work, I was instructed to tell the
owner I had to bring the unit back to the shop to “put it on
the ‘scope.”
“…what scope,” I asked the shipyard owner.
“…the oscilloscope,” he replied.
“…we have one of those?” I asked, incredulous.
Confession: when I asked you if your work met
the ABYS code and you blithely replied yes, it
was a trick question. It is almost impossible to
comply with—or even fully understand—all of
‘em within your wide-ranging field.
“Naw,” he replied, “but the guy who actually knows something about radars that we’re going to bring the unit to might!”
No, I did not last long at that job—but I’ve never forgotten it either.
As a long-time member of the marine industry, every single
dollar I have ever earned is salt-stained: I know what DFO
means. In fact, I knew what DFO meant before you were born.
And, yeah, I’ve muttered it a few times in my brief career as
(what used to be called) a BN (er, boat nurse) in Fort Liquordale. But the three times you and your men smugly muttered
the “DFO” (Dumb F’n Owner) in my presence—well, it grated.
In fact, this is the real problem. You believed you were
working for a rube, and I believed I was hiring someone
who cared. We were both wrong. You don’t own a boat. You
probably never will. And yet you feel superior to your customers who do. Might it not be possible that the Average
Sailor Joe who has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars
on a yacht and moved it thousands of miles over many decades… might be at least as smart as you… just maybe?
The bottom line we’re both aware of: I paid.
The bottom line you might not be aware of: the marine
community is small and intelligent and communicates well.
Your reputation is your future.
Yours is mud.
FISH
SOUTH CAROLINA GAG GROUPER
STATE RECORD TIED
BY JEFF DENNIS
O
n August 3, South Carolina angler Cantey Smith
reeled in a 48.5-pound gag grouper, giving
him a share of the South Carolina state record.
Smith had met up with some friends on the 54foot Sea Island Design express Artemis out of Charleston
City Marina to go bottom fishing offshore, and had just
hoped to catch something for dinner.
Artemis Owner John Darby, Captain Legare Smith and
First Mate Ford Rivers, along with anglers Billy Baldwin and
McKenzie Hutaff were also aboard when Smith made his
catch. Artemis has a reputation for billfishing success, having won the South Carolina Governor’s Cup Series in 2007,
and the North Carolina Big Rock in 2008.
After a successful day of catching bottom fish like vermillion snapper, triggerfish and grouper, the captain wanted
to make one last stop in 150 feet of water. Cantey Smith
was ready with his Shimano® deep water jigging rod and a
Shimano® reel spooled up with 80-pound test mono. Using
a 3-ought circle hook baited with a live menhaden, Smith
dropped his offering down. The fish strike that followed
doubled over his rod. It was clear to the entire fishing party
that this was a big one.
“Usually the main part of a grouper fight is right after the
bite, but this one fought all the way to the surface,” said
Smith. When the crew brought the fish aboard it was easily
the biggest gag grouper any of them had ever seen.
Upon arriving back at port, Smith went through the process to establish a state record fish. He weighed the fish on
certified scales at Haddrell’s Point West tackle shop, and
then he brought the fish to the South Carolina Department
of Natural Resources for species verification. The certified
state record document is then forwarded to Governor Nikki
Haley to be signed. Smith’s gag grouper ties the existing
state record, caught by angler R.L. Price in 1997.

NOVEMBER
FISHING
REPORT
BY CAPT. JUDY HELMEY
Mike McAvoy is proud of his gag grouper, which he
reeled in just before a shark took a bite out of it!
W
hen the month of November rolls around, the
inshore bite certainly picks up for what’s called
the “Savannah Slam”…Red fish, spotted sea
trout, and flounder. The secret to catching
more inshore fish in these fall months is to use live shrimp as
bait. All fish like shrimp because it’s easy to eat, easy to kill and
is more plentiful. I’ve also found that once you get the bite going, it’s simple enough to change over to any sort of artificial
shrimp pattern—rigged or not rigged DOA’s, Berkeleyscented gulps, Strike King soft baits, flukes, etc.—once a feeding
frenzy starts, they’d eat your shoe if you cut it to the right size!
There are several ways to present your live shrimp, but I prefer popping corks with 3- to 4-foot leaders. The sound corks
make when they are popped is similar to a shrimp flapping its
tail up against its body. Put a shot weight about 1 foot above
the hook to help keep the bait deep under the cork.
32
Believe it or not, most jelly balls are
hosts to at least one or two spider crabs
hitching a ride.
Traditional adjustable floats come in all sizes and also work
great when trying to find the bite at different depths. Or you
can “fish naked!” All you need is hook, leader, and bait!
Offshore
BOTTOM FISHING: Bottom fishing is still open this time of
year, and you can still catch grouper as well as cubera snapper,
white grunt, hogfish, flounder, amberjack, almaco jack, banded
rudder fish, porgy, trigger fish, black sea bass, and other large
mouth hungry biters. Small vermilion, pinfish, sand perch, bluefish and rock bass work best as live bait. For those that like to
use the standard old bottom fishing bait like cigar minnows or
Spanish sardines or cut squid, now is the time. The best rig to
catch live bait is the Sabiki gold hook rig. But whatever you use,
always carry extra rigs, because they get a lot of abuse.
TROLLING AND STROLLING: For those fishermen that don’t
mind a longer ocean ride, the blue waters of the gulf hold big
game fish this time of year, as the cooler western waters edge
against the warmer northern-flowing waters of the stream. This
edge is where smaller fish feel safe and where larger fish feed.
We’ll start with the most complicated rig option here:
drag ballyhoo, ordered from smallest to largest dressed in
different color skirts or rigged just plain naked. you can use
them with or without chin weights.
You can also just drag the artificial stuff - believe me it
works. I like pulling cedar plugs that have been soaked in
menhaden oil. Forget the painted cedar plugs, though, and
just go plain cedar. If you do use the painted ones, sand
them down a bit to expose the wood—cedar really soaks up
the fish oil and will leave a nice oily trail when trolled. I also
sometimes pull small birds with artificial squid and feathers,
which usually brings on a strong mahi mahi bite. The best
lures to pull are black/silver and blue/silver Halcos or black
with orange bottom Terminators. (YO-ZOURI bonitas lures).
Finally, if trolling doesn’t work, there is always deep water jigging for big gags and scamp grouper. The best jigs
for deep water are the Williamson or Shimano® 7- to 10.5ounce jigs. All you have to do is to drop them on the ledge,
keep them close to the bottom, and work ‘em. Big bites will
happen and you had better keep a strong grip on that rod!

THE NEW DOCKSIDE TROPICAL
CAFE: A PLACE FOR EVERYONE
BY TERRY BORAM
F
or years, Dockside Lounge on the east side of
Boot Key Harbor in Marathon, Fla. was the hidden
gem where locals and tourists alike could grab a
cold beer and a quick bite while listening to live
music. Sadly, however, multiple management changes ultimately shuttered the establishment in December 2012,
creating a void felt by locals and the many tourists visiting Marathon for fishing or diving or having a stopover on
their way to the Caribbean.
The beer will be flowing and music will soon be playing
at Dockside once again, thanks to musician and songwriter Eric Stone and his new bride Kim Hess-Stone. The couple, who purchased the business this spring, have begun
renovations to improve and expand the offerings of the
previous owners to better serve the diverse mix of people
living in and passing through the Middle Keys.
38
“My vision is for Dockside to be a music venue with
great food and drinks,” Eric said.
With a targeted opening in October, Eric is positioning
the new Dockside Tropical Cafe as the local music hotspot
featuring local, regional, and international singers and
songwriters. “The more original the music, the better,” says
Eric. The music will range in genre and will include country,
rock, blues, and island music. Even when no visiting musicians are in town, patrons will not be disappointed. Eric
himself will be performing, playing songs from his 13 CDs
that have garnered him fans around the world.
Having performed at a variety of venues around the
world, Eric has learned what it takes to make a truly great
music venue. Using a sound system like no other in the Keys,
Dockside patrons will receive a wonderful sound experience
while still being able to carry on a conversation.
LIVE
Taking on such a venture that caters to a complex mix of
guests might seem like a big challenge, but Eric and Kim
are confident they have what it takes to make their business a part of the Marathon community for years to come.
Each has served as a consultant to restaurants across the
country, lending their individual expertise in music and
branding. Kim also found success with her yoga teaching
and healthy lifestyle columns. Her entrepreneurial spirit
helped create Yoga Onboard book/DVD and the Pirate
Yogi line of apparel.
Improving the sound system isn’t the only change coming
to Dockside. Renovations will continue throughout the first
year to feature a tiki-hut roof, a redesigned dining and bar
area, a relocated kitchen, and a gift shop named after the
couple’s macaws, Harley and Marley. Music, good food, and
friendship will be front and center at the new establishment.
The couple plans to expand the menu using locally-sourced
ingredients to better serve the needs of every customer. Traditional pub fare remains, but the menu will also feature island
specialties and even healthier, “paleo” diet options.
Locals need not worry that they are losing their spot. “It
is important to us to have the locals once again consider
Dockside their hangout,” Kim said. To that end, Dockside
will be offering special events and discounts exclusively for
those who call the area home.
Eric is well-known throughout the islands and is often
credited with making Marina Key in the BVI the number
one happy hour in the islands. “I’m not going to give away
all our secrets, but lets just say if you attended one of my
shows at Marina Key you will feel at home at Dockside.”
Local resident and liveaboard Amy Jacobsen is looking
forward to the reopening of Dockside. “It is the easiest
place to get to by dinghy from anywhere in the mooring
field.” Operated by the City of Marathon, the 277-space
mooring field in Boot Key Harbor swells from 30-40 boats
in the off-season (June - October) to wait-list capacity in
the winter. “What was always great about Dockside was
you had the guy who only had enough in his pocket for a
few beers sitting next to the people stepping off the mega
yachts paying for rounds of shooters,” Amy continued.
“Eric and Kim’s place will be no exception.”
For all these guests, “Dockside is the only place on the
harbor with a full bar and live music,” Kim stated. “We are
looking forward to being a part of the Marathon community
for many years to come. Come for the music but stay for
the friendships!”

FLORIDA’S ESTUARIES
ARE DROWNING
BY GLENN HAYES
W
ater is the life-blood of Florida. The state is
surrounded by pristine coastal waters and
boasts magnificent estuaries that are teeming with fish and wildlife. Its delicate and
spectacular springs, aquifers and many lakes are a draw for
visitors. But the complex and fragile waters of Florida have
been engineered and altered to a state of dysfunction.
Florida has many issues with polluted run-off water contaminating its bays, estuaries, rivers and coasts but two estuaries that are showing themselves to be in particular jeopardy this summer are the St. Lucie River Estuary on the East
Coast and the Caloosahatchee River Estuary on the West
Coast. Fish and wildlife are disappearing and the tourists
are certain to follow. Freshwater discharge is to blame.
Both these estuaries lie on either side of Lake Okeechobee, a large lake in the center of the state that receives its contents from a chain of lakes and the Kissimmee watershed to the north. Water that flows into Lake
Okeechobee is being pumped out in huge volumes to
maintain mandated safe levels. The high level of water
that is being pumped into these estuaries is smothering
them with polluted fresh water. There has been so much
fresh water that wildlife has disappeared, and natural
40
vegetation such as the sea grass beds and oyster bars
are dying off. Salinity levels have plummeted, and as a result, once-clear and pristine waters have turned to mucky
brown algae-laden pools. Areas that were once teeming
with life are now deserted and barren, with algae blooms
being the only visible growth.
The natural flow of water from north to south has been
drastically altered over time by engineering and human
intervention. After two devastating hurricanes in the ’20’s
that flooded lake Okeechobee and caused widespread local flooding, a levy was constructed to surround the lake.
Two cut-off canals were modified and run from the lake to
the East and West Coast estuaries. Prior to any modifications, the water would meander from the Kissimmee River
Estuary over 100 miles to Lake Okeechobee. Water would
then flow south through the Everglades and out into Florida
Bay. The Kissimmee River’s natural flow was altered when
the river was straightened in the ’50’s by the Army Corps of
Engineers, only later to be modified to bring in an attempt
to restore a more natural flow into the lake. Still today water rushes south into the lake only to have to be pumped
out into the two estuaries. This flow has proven particularly
harmful when large amounts of rain cause a rush of water
Fish and wildlife are disappearing and the
tourists are certain to follow. Freshwater
discharge is to blame.
and high levels in the lake. According to South Florida Water Management statistics, water is entering the lake up to
six times faster than it can be pumped out.
With heavy rainfall that started in May of this year, Lake
Okeechobee reached almost record high levels and, as
mandated by federal regulation, had to be lowered. It
was determined post-Hurricane Katrina that the levee surrounding the lake was in a state of disrepair and could
be compromised with high water levels. The result of this
discovery was new mandated maximum levels, forcing the
need to pump more water out into the estuaries. Federal
funding was allocated for repairs on the dyke and work
on one of the worst sections has been completed. However, progress is slow and a secure dyke will not be assured for many years. Work has now shifted from securing
the earthen dyke to working on its many culverts. Federal
funds are even tighter at present so the future direction of
repairs is unclear.
Many, including environmentalists such as Mark Perry of
the Florida Oceanographic Society, say that water should
be pumped south along its more natural course, thus alleviating pressure on the two estuaries. By sending water
into the areas to the south of Lake Okeechobee known as
the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) pressure on the estuaries to the east and west could be alleviated. One issue
with doing so, however, is that 500,000 acres of the approximately 700,000 acres determined as natural filtration for
the southward flowing water are now primarily filled with
sugar crops. The area to the south of the lake has now been
engineered to protect the crops and urbanization farther
south from flooding. Most of the water that does flow south
is diverted around these areas and has entered the Everglades without the natural filtration it once had. Attempts
at remediation of the polluted water flowing into the Everglades has legislative backing but has had only limited
success partly due to numerous lawsuits by various groups.
Such pollution and runoff is another water management dilemma that is a work in progress.
Florida Governor Rick Scott recently saw the destruction
occurring in the St. Lucie Estuary during a tour of the area
and proposed plans to reduce the flow into this and the
Caloosahatchee Estuary. “Every drop of water that we can
send south and keep out of the Caloosahatchee and St.
Lucie Estuaries is a win for Florida families,” Scott said.
One project involves building another long bridge on
Tamiami Trail (similar to one already completed) that will
help in the natural flow of waters into the Everglades that
have been blocked by this roadway for many decades.
The other proposal is to treat floodwater before it reaches
the estuary. Treatment area plans are in the works for both
coasts but are just proposals with no funding as of yet and
are years away from completion at best.
The South Florida Water Management District and the
Army Corps of Engineers are the agencies responsible for
controlling the water flow into the estuaries but they are doing so claiming they are under-funded and struggling against
a complex and dysfunctional drainage system. They are
aware the levels of water they are pumping are harmful
but have no other options. Pollution run-off from sugar
growers and urban areas adds to the fray, and environmentalists argue that politicians are not doing enough
and are siding with sugar growers. Politics and finger
pointing aside, as more rain falls the estuaries come closer to being decimated. All agree that something needs
to be done to fix the broken flow of Florida’s waters and
save the estuaries.
The question now is can it be done before irrevocable
damage is done? Will the public outcry be loud enough to
be heard?

THE AFTERLIFE:
ARTIFICIAL REEFS
PHOTOS COURTESY OF KEITH MILLE, FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION
H
istorians credit the ancient Persians with
constructing the first artificial reef across the
mouth of the Tigris, as a barricade against
marauding Indian pirates. Today, reef building
has morphed into a strange science, with an eclectic array of landlocked junk and engineered implements finding their way to the ocean floor. Reefing materials can include subway cars, armored personnel carriers and even
military tanks.
Artificial reefs, sometimes referred to as man-made,
placed or deployed reefs, provide a myriad of measurable
benefits. First and foremost, they offer marine habitat enrichment, inviting biological replenishment of local popula-
42
tions of marine vertebrates and invertebrates. These reefs
offer a plethora of opportunities for both “non-take” (i.e.,
scuba diving and snorkeling) and “take” (i.e., fishing; both
recreational sport and commercial) end users.
Nuts and Bolts
Naturally occurring coral reef systems are found in shallow,
warm water environments. There, sunlight penetrates the
clear water, providing life to the coral colony below. In the
Gulf though, strong currents and the considerable influx of
sediment create more tepid waters (temperatures may drop
to 60°F during the winter months), limiting natural reefs.
However, the Gulf teems with literally thousands of spe-
cies of invertebrate plants and animals. Barnacles, corals,
sponges, clams, bryozoans and hydroids simply require
hard surfaces to thrive. These creatures can begin “reefing” on the ocean floor without the same levels of warmth
and sunlight. As these invertebrate colonies establish
themselves, the food chain flows upward, creating habitat
and providing sustenance for snapper, grouper, mackerel,
sharks and other fish.
Artificial Reefs in the Gulf
Abandoned oil rigs, once considered an environmental liability, now provide a rich, environmental resource when
“reefed.” After plugging wells, decommissioning platforms
and blanking pipelines, these superstructures are toppled
into the water. Once sunk, the empty hull provides a prime
eco-habit. The process is not without expense, however,
and only about two percent of decommissioned rigs have
actually made their way to the ocean floor to serve as an
aquatic sanctuary.
Louisiana Success
Louisiana began its artificial reef program in 1986 to take
advantage of the proliferation of obsolete oil and gas platforms. According to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife
and Fisheries, the Louisiana Fishing Enhancement Act
has built 71 offshore reefs utilizing the jackets of 320 ob-
43
The Afterlife: Artificial Reefs
solete platforms. Often referred to as the “Rigs to Reef”
program, the obsolete oil and gas platforms have proved
highly successful.
Participating companies offer more than hulled-out rigs
for reefs, they also donate one half of their realized savings
over a traditional onshore removal to Louisiana’s Artificial
Reef Trust Fund. Rigs that aren’t reefed must be towed inshore and scrapped, an expensive process that makes reefing all the more lucrative for oil and gas companies.
The Louisiana reef program has also developed 30 inshore reefs in state waters. Most of these are low-profile
reefs comprised of spent limestone or shell. The bulk of the
materials come from recycled concrete from the decommissioning of the relic state bridgeworks.
In 1999, the Louisiana reefing program created the
world’s largest artificial reef from its Freeport sulfur mine.
The structure, located off Grand Isle, is comprised of over
1.5 miles of bridgework and more than 29 structures. Forty
armored personnel carriers and an offshore tug can also be
found on the bones of the reef.
44
Reef King
Florida also has an artificial reef program, and the state has
placed more than 2,700 artificial reefs in state and federal
waters since the 1940’s. The economic impact of these reefs
cannot be understated. In an landmark socioeconomic study
of four Florida counties, it was determined that visitors and
residents spent 28.3 million person-days using artificial and
natural reefs in Florida during a twelve month period.
The study also revealed staggering economic numbers. According to the findings, reef-related expenditures generated
in excess of $3 billion in sales with nearly $2 billion in income
to residents resulting from some 70,000 reef-related jobs.

INTERVIEW WITH A PIRATE:
A P I R AT E ’ S L I F E F O R C A P T. H O R AT I O S I N B A D
BY JULES NORWOOD
Capt. Horatio Sinbad built the 54-foot Meka II in his
back yard in Detroit and launched her in 1967.
I
n the early morning hours in August, there was a strange
current in the air about the sleepy seaport town of Beaufort, N.C. It’s always a place where a seafaring soul can
venture ashore without fear of standing out, yet there
seemed an unusual number of earrings, eye patches, and
bandanas adorning those making their way down the streets.
Beaufort was in the throes of a Pirate Invasion.
In the midst of the madness, I fetched up alongside Captain Horatio Sinbad of the Meka II and requested that he
submit to an interrogation regarding his piratical activities.
“Maybe squeeze ye in fer a gam,” he growled.
For decades, Capt. Sinbad and his crew — Lieutenant Terry
Brown and Black Bart, the parrot — have terrorized the ports
46
and waterways of the eastern seaboard, but it all began in a
backyard in Detroit, Mich. That’s where Sinbad built the Meka
II, a 54-foot, 18-ton brigantine, to the dismay of his neighbors,
as he describes in his book, Boat Building in Your Own Backyard, Or How to Lose Friends and Provoke Others.
The project was the realization of a childhood dream.
“Well, some people want to fly airplanes, some want to
be engineers or doctors,” Sinbad explained. “I thought this
would be an interesting life. At the age of eight in 1950, I
saw Walt Disney’s “Treasure Island,” and that kind of sent
me over. Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver … I decided that’s
what I wanted to do. Most boys are like that. Mine stuck,
though. My mother says, ‘He just never went beyond that!’”
And so the Meka II was built, launched in 1976, and
sailed for a few years on the Great Lakes before Sinbad,
yearning for open waters and warmer climes, took his ship
to sea. He worked up and down the coast before discovering Beaufort, N.C.
“When I first came here, I just fell in love with Beaufort,”
Sinbad said. “It’s 30 years behind the times. People take a
lot of time to talk to you, they’re very friendly, and very helpful. And so this is the place to be. Plus they let me fire my
cannons! They enjoy it. They invite me to participate in the
Pirate Invasion. So I stayed.”
At this point Sinbad was drawn off to parley with a crowd
of insistent young autograph-seekers. “Captain Sinbad, at
your disservice!” he cried.
The Meka II sets sail from Beaufort to participate in reenactments, maritime history festivals, and tall ship festivals
from Nova Scotia to the Caribbean.
“The farthest east I’ve been is Bermuda,” he said. “I’ve
been to the Virgin Islands, to Cuba twice, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and as far west as Mobile, Alabama.”
As Sinbad described the compromised life aboard a
wooden pirate ship, he was boarded by a band of roughlooking characters claiming to be safety inspectors. The
Meka II carries eight cannons, the largest firing 4-ounce
charges of black powder. The powder is carried in a locked
wooden box sheathed in copper to prevent the ship from
becoming a casualty of its own weaponry. After inspecting
the magazine and viewing the inside of each gun with a
video scope, the safety crew was satisfied that the ship was
ready for the next day’s sea battle.
Since Sinbad and his vessel evoke the spirit of piracy
in the 17th century, and he sails in the same waters once
haunted by one of the world’s most notorious pirates, it
seemed only fitting to query the captain about his thoughts
on Blackbeard.
“I would like to just sit down and get the true facts from
him, and disprove this horrible history that I believe we’ve
been forced to read out of books,” said Sinbad. “I just can’t
believe that Blackbeard had 14 wives, and some of the
Hollywood stuff. There’s too much evidence that he was a
regular citizen of North Carolina, from Bath. I want the real
scoop. There’s no proof that he killed anybody. Now that’s
a smart pirate.”
Artifacts from the wreck of Blackbeard’s ship, the Queen
Anne’s Revenge, are being preserved and studied in a
project spearheaded by the N.C. Department of Cultural
Resources, but his treasure trove has never been found.
Sinbad is still searching for his own pirate treasure as well.
“I haven’t quite gotten the treasure yet, but I’m hoping,” he said. “I get lots of invitations to go places. From
the Great Lakes to Key West, they all want me to come. It
takes a lot of money to move this boat around. Insurance is
horrendous for a boat this old that’s wood … AND carrying
gunpowder. They offer glory. I’ve had the glory — I want the
doubloons. But the treasure is the boat and the lifestyle. A
lot of people don’t understand that. This is something you
can’t buy. You have to create it, physically and mentally.”
The Meka II set sail in September for Columbia, N.C. followed by Ocracoke in October. After that, wherever the
winds carry her...
The Meka II, a 54-foot,
18-ton wooden brigantine,
is a ¾-scale replica of a
17th century pirate vessel.
