Local dive show aims for broader appeal By BRYAN BROOKS Waterfront News columnist MIAMI After a few years of being known as a diver's flea-market, Ocean Expo International in Miami is changing its format. Gone will be any cash-and-carry sales of scuba life-support equipment from this year's show. Instead, Ocean Expo International will expand into a multi- faceted exposition, exploring the whole spectrum of the diving industry, including clinics on photography and oxygen first aid. Booths manned by dive-resort operators from the Caribbean Islands and the Florida Keys, along with the display of this year's newest, hi-tech scuba equipment, will be some of the major draws for area divers in this year's show. Susan Payette, Ocean Expo International's executive director, says the exposition will resemble a trade show, with the public also being invited. Pressure last year from the local, dive-shops, backed up by the scuba-equipment manufacturers, has forced Ocean Expo International to get out of the flea-market aspect of their show, organizers say. In years past, the diving public could come to the show and be able to buy scuba life-support equipment over the counter. Payette said this type of flea-market format apparently was hurting the local dive-shop retailers. Many South Florida dive-shops discovered their students were flocking to Ocean Expo International each year to buy scuba equipment at discount prices. The dive-shops complained to Payette, contending that the selling of life-support equipment at the show was not only hurting their retail business, but endangering their students, as no type of scuba training was going along with the sale of the equipment. Retailers complained to their scuba-equipment manufacturers, who agreed with them. Both groups began to apply pressure by withdrawing their support from the exposition; thus the change in formats. As in the past, besides the many booths on the convention floor, there will be a film festival on Saturday evening, March 20th. This year's theme is on sharks, with about 15 booths featuring them. Payette said about 400 square feet in the mall area of the Radisson Centre will be manned by Pflueger Taxidermy, showing some of their Ocean Expo show hours Friday, March 19 Saturday. March 20 Sunday, March 21 6 p.m. 10 p.m. 10 a.m. 7 p.m. 11 a.m. 5:30 p.m. Radisson Centre 777 NW 72 Avenue, Miami (off SR #836) Adults $7, ages under 12 free. Free parking. exhibits of the feared and respected underwater predator. In keeping with this year's theme, a shark cage will also be on display. Payette emphasized that the public will have still be able to purchase T-shirts, dive travel, jewelry, boats, compressors, video tapes, art works, photos, posters, plus non life-support items such as wet and dry suits. There will be exhibits of marine art and underwater photographs, and booths manned by different environmental groups. With the price of admission, the public will be able to attend any of the exposition's mini-theatres located upstairs from the floor of the exposition. These mini- theatres will have underwater motion picture and slide shows going on during the exposition. Concerning the film festival on Saturday night, Payette said that underwater photographer Doug Perrine will present an audio-visual slide show on sharks, Local instructors will give an underwater scuba-intro to wanna-be divers at the pool, located by the hotel at the Radisson Centre. Dive instructors will also give refresher courses for divers who have been too dry for too long a period of time, in the upstairs classrooms. Because of the changed format, Payette said, the diving equipment manufacturers and the South Florida dive-shop retailers are returning their support to the exposition. Bob Ledbetter, a manufacturers representative for Sherwood, Ikelite and Wenoka, advised that all three of those companies have taken booth space at this year's show. He said that the show, in the past, had pretty much become a flea market. He admits that the flea-market format may have benefitted the consumers in some ways, in the short run, but because many of the retailers selling life-support equipment at the show were coming in from other areas, they weren't going tc be around for the consumer/diver later when they needed training or help. The question is: Will the diver/consumer still be interested in Ocean Expo without being able to buy discount scuba gear? Will the format change, demanded by the retailer and their suppliers, have taken away the reason most divers attend such expositions? Payette is gambling that by having those suppliers and retail shops return to Ocean Expo, showing divers the newest in dive technology, along with the show's shark theme, film festival and numerous, interesting clinics will bring the local diver in. The show's future is literally banking on it. This year's Ocean Expo International will be held from March 19th through March 21st, at the Radisson Centre, 777 NW 72nd Avenue, in Miami. Free parking will be provided. Divers interested in information concerning the show, or it's clinics, can call 305-891-6095. 'Shark Doc' to be honored at dive show Special to the Waterfront News Dr. Samuel H. Gruber, known to some as 'Shark Doc' or 'Sonny', will receive the Ocean Expo '93 International Lifetime Achievement Award in March. Dr. Gruber is known world-wide for over 30 years of studying sharks. This award was given for his dedicated lifetime scientific studies of elasmobranch (sharks) fishes which has and will continue to further mankind's understanding and appreciation of our undersea world. He is a marine science professor at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School and has many honors for his professional activities. Various publications and articles have been written and co- authored by the doctor. With his research and dedication he may very well save the sharks from mankind.

This was the year he won the first place springboard diving championship in the '52 Jr. Olympics. His coach, Carlos Fernandez was the person that 'explained' to him how to dive and got them the SCUBA equipment from Ma Ocean Expo show hours Friday, March 19 Saturday, March 20 Sunday, March 21 6 p.m. 10 p.m. 10 a.m. 7 p.m. 11 a.m. 5:30 p.m. Radisson Centre 777 NW 72 Avenue, Miami (off SR #836) Adults $7, ages under 12 free.

The regulators of that time, single stage-double hose, would sometimes explode at about an 80 foot depth, leaving one sucking 2000 psi of air directly into their lungs while struggling to the surface. 'Divers' of that day often practiced free ascents to prepare themselves for this 'emergency.' Gruber studied ballet but had to make a career decision: whether to study ballet or to be a jet pilot!!! He did learn to fly, but his parents wanted him to be a doctor. At Emory University while taking pre-med in '58, he studied to be a 'real doctor, not a shark doctor.' Weekends found Gruber diving and spearfishing at Fowey Rocks from The Blue Goose, a 100' steel sailing luxury yacht. The yacht was once owned by Herman Goering, Hitler's #2 man and head of the German Luftwaffe before being seized by the Allies. In Miami it was used as a dive boat holding 15 to 20 divers (for a fee of $7.00 for 2 days and 1 night). That summer while spearfishing, the stimuli in the water (blood and the sounds), enticed a huge hammerhead into the area where he was spearfishing. Gruber was impressed but the shark "scared the hell out of him" and he "thought he was dead." The shark doc cowered down into the reef structure until the sh..sh..sh..shark went away. Since he wasn't killed, Gruber decided to study sharks; that was when he got hooked! AlTIf--EN11IIO 191VIlIElUS :! YACUT HAVEN . PARK AND MARINA His research from 1960-76 involved anatomy, physiology and psychophysics of the visual system of the lemon shark characterizing basic functions of the shark eye and developing unique training techniques to communicate with the sharks. Asking them simple questions and training them to answer by 'classical conditioning,' they learned faster than cats or rabbits! Dr. Gruber has been happily married since 1969 and has two daughters. Currently you may find him at his home in Miami, the University of Miami or his research facility in Bimini. where he does field work with students. Gruber's latest love is the study of shark behavior. His studies in the Florida Keys showed the number of sharks caught and tagged were dropping, in 1987 110 sharks were caught, in 1988 40 sharks, and in 1989 only 7 were captured!! Due to the sharks 'disappearing,' the study had to be canceled. Meanwhile the slaughter for meat and for sport goes on. Shark fins are cut off and the dying shark is thrown back into the water. They are over-exploited in many ways - commercial shark fisheries, sportfishing and more. Gruber feels he owes the sharks something as they are his life, his career and he speaks loudly for them.

Miami Ask Big Al- marine mechanic C+ + ++ + ilY~r)C-ri-r Question- There are lots of problems on my boat that I just bought. Twin diesels that can't get RPM's, filters that are loaded with dirt, rust and water (changed them twice so far). Boat is an '89 but was documented in '90. Boat looks like new except for engine and filter problems. Lots of advice would like to hear from you. Symon Answer- What you definitely have is a fuel and tank problem. I would get someone to pump out all fuel from your tanks. Chances are you got a bad batch of fuel or you have tanks that are in bad condition. You can try an outfit that filters and checks your fuel and cleans your tanks. I don't know if your tanks are fiberglass or metal or aluminum. Your RPM's will increase and your engine will run better with clean fuel and a clean flow through the filters. Al. Question- I have a boat that just plows thru the water.

A few tips would help as I got the boat used and am new to boating and would like some help as I hear some horrifying stories about rip offs by marine mechanics and marinas. Yonie Answer- There are a few things that I would suggest to you as a new boater. First, take a boating course with the Coast Guard Aux. or Power Squadron. Next join a yacht club and. get the benefit of all members and their combined knowledge. They can tell you of good mechanics they use. Now, if you need trim tabs because your hull is clean and you don't have a weight problem (too much of a load in stern of boat). Be sure you get the right size you need for your boat.

The unit on the stern transom looks like it's worn and stiff. I hate to put a new one on unless I need one is there any way I can check the unit without replacing it? Hard to reach it without lifting boat or getting in the water. Any suggestions? Joe Answer-If you can disconnect your rubber hose that leads into this unit, you can disconnect the dash indicator and blow through the line. If line is clogged you have to replace hose. If line is free and clear you can connect back to dash unit and suck to see if dash indicator is not frozen or rusted stiff. You can check through a process of elimination what is at fault. If it is your transom unit that will have to be replaced or perhaps cleaned out. Al Question-I have a deep pounding every time I advance and retard my throttle. Sounds like a main bearing to me and my buddies who have listened to it. I don't hear it at all under power or speed, only at idle or advance, so would like your opinion on what else it could be. Hate to get involved with something I may not need. Chet Answer-In my book "Ask Big Al" I have described what you are experiencing. Lift your motor hatch and watch your engine as you advance and retard the throttle. Listen for the thump; nine times out of ten it is a worn or broken motor support and the engine will lift and drop as the torque or speed increases or decreases. That will cause that pound you hear. Worn bearings are usually heard at all speeds. Replace supports needed and check all. Al Ask Big Al % Waterfront News 1523 So.

There is a two-pronged threat to Metro's zoning policies as well as to the Grove after more than 100,000 Dade voters signed a petition backing two reforms. The first plan would remove commission jurisdiction over zoning matters. Zoning would fall to eight boards would decide where office buildings, malls, apartment buildings and marine facilities like marinas would go. The second aspect of the plan would make it easier for communities within Dade to leave cities of which they are a part and declare their independence. Key Biscayne residents seceded and formed a city in 1992. Currently, a strong segment of Coconut Grove's population wants independence from Miami. Grove residents believe themselves neglected when they see few of the tax dollars collected from the affluent community returned to their streets. The bottom line is that the old Merrill Stephens boatyard is in the Grove, along with a major stretch of waterfront, tax rich property and even Miami's City Hall, located in the old Pan Am building. Such moves have failed in the past, opposed for the most part by Dade's powerful builders and developers. The tide turned however, when a Coconut Grove effort to force consideration of their plan fell short of the number of signatures required when Hnuricane Andrew struck. Regrouping, the Grove contingent joined forces with backers of the plan for local control of zoning. The united cause gained momentum when activists showed commission members a chart showing how many signatures were collected from each of the nine Metro commission disticts. The successful petition assured voters the issue would be on the ballot for the next statewide election in 1994. But they didn't want to wait, and to get on an earlier ballot, March 16, they needed support from six commissioners. Only Mayor Steve Clark, not a'candidate f6r reelection, voted against the petition measure. Cesar Odio, Miami city manager, has said that the "economic impact on the city would be incredible should the Coconut Grove secession move succeed." .1584 N.W. 29th Street Miami, Florida 33142) ( CRAAfrsk Wall Units & latforms Fine Furniture Railings Cabinets 944-4899 Interiors Maule Lake Marina 17201 Biscayne Blvd., No. Miami Beach Ib Marskot ) DIESEL ENGINE CO..

Coast Guard representatives in February explained their legal review of the jurisdiction issues at the Concerned Boaters National Water Rights Conference held here. Commander Wayne Raabe of the USCG in Washington, D.C., stated, "The most important thing people have to realize is that the waters at issue here extend from the shoreline out to three miles, and that generally speaking, we have concurrent jurisdiction with the states over that area." According to constitutional law, the states, through their inherent police powers, have concurrent authority with the Federal government over navigable waters of the United States within their respective borders "to prescribe, within limits of the state and federal constitutions, reasonable regulations necessary to preserve the public order, health, safety and morals." Miami attorney Howard Sutter blasted Coast Guard representatives at the boating conference, stating, "This ruling conveys to the states the appearance that they can act without impunity, as no one from the Federal government will try and stop them." David Pfautz, treasurer of the Anchorage Defense League of Fort Myers Beach, was one of many boaters who expressed their dissatisfaction with the Coast Guard's policies. "Counties in Florida have had plans put on hold while waiting for the Coast Guard's announcement, and now that ANCHOR MARINE SERVICES (305) 963-9106 Air Conditioning Refrigeration Ice Makers Controls i Hydraulics Electrical Generators Service Design Repairs Engineering t 24-HOUR SERVICE LICENSED & INSURED 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE I m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m DISCOUNT Performance and High Performance Engine Packages BEFORE 4D NEW YOU BUY 351 FORD BASE ENGINES WICARB CALL FOR & DISTRIB TOR THE BEST NEW. $1895 EACH THE BEST THIS WEEK'S DEAL IN SPECIAL 350-260 WITH TOWN MANFOLDS $2287 the policy is out it gives all the various state and local governments free reign," Pfautz said. "I think we're going to see a rash of ordinances as a result." Pfautz added that the ruling will empower agencies such as the Florida Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to regulate all aspects of the waterways including anchoring and liveaboards. "Rumor has it that the DNR plans to zone the waters into six categories for designated uses," Pfautz declared. "What I've heard is that DNR is also going to encourage transient usage of anchorages and not fill them up with vessels so that there will always be revolving boating populations I don't know if that will force people off their boats and into marinas or whether people will have to pay for the privilege of anchoring." Dr. Thomas Kitsos, a senior policy analyst with the U.S. House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, stated, "The legal review of the Coast Guard policy is sound if you want to change a law, you're going to have to deal with state and local governments, or you're going to have to get it done through Congress." The Water Rights Conference keynote speaker, Captain Leo Black of Coast Guard headquarters in Washington, D.C. noted that boaters do have incidental right to anchor on the waterways, but not necessarily in every location. Black also stressed that boaters do have anchoring rights and if there isn't and anchoring spot in a certain location then that issue needs to be addressed. Reed Haslam, a Stuart liveaboard for 20 years, stated that the whole anchoring and waterway usage issue revolves around money. Cruising to New England this summer ?

The artificial reef was designed as an experiment to see if it could effectively serve as a breakwater to prevent any further erosion of the town's almost nonexistent beach and battered seawall. However, according to surveys conducted by the engineering firm that is installing the artificial reef, the beachfront in the project area has increased to a 60-foot width and up to six feet high on the seawall. Those initial results have some officials of other coastal towns interested in additional reef projects which would serve as an alternative to beach renourishment projects which are presently conducted mainly by dredging of offshore sand deposits or by sand transfer plants. DNR's Division of Beaches and Shores director Kirby Green had halted the installation of the artificial reef units last August because the reef, which was only supposed to settle a maximum of six inches, has settled as much as three feet in some places (the reef is only six feet high). DNR agreed to remove the stop order when it was decided that there weren't any solid alternatives to prevent further settling, and that the experiment could proceed by redesigning the test and monitoring criteria that were developed for the project. Peter Elwell, an official with the Town of Palm Beach, stated, "DNR accepted the fact that the project could move forward, and that there is some evidence that there is sand accretion within the project area of the reef which indicates that the reef is having a positive impact on the shoreline." Paden Woodruff, a senior engineer with DNR's Bureau of Coastal Engineering and Regulation, noted that it would be premature to declare the reef a success or failure, and that because the reef is an experimental project, the Department is revising its monitoring program to compensate for the additional settling of the reef. The reef is scheduled to be monitored for three years following the completion of its installation. Woodruff added, "This is different from other artificial reefs in that it has been deposited much closer to shore; it's really a submerged breakwater which is limited in terms of the habitat that will colonize it." Beth Mitchell, director of operations with American Coastal Engineering, the company in charge of designing and installing the artificial reef, stated that the company will resume installation of the rest of the 330-piece concrete and steel reef as soon as weather permits. At present, only 57 of the 330 interlocking reef pieces have been installed, although 242 of the units have already been dropped in the water. Mitchell said the reef has been designed for several purposes: to decrease wave energy and beach erosion, to encourage the growth of habitat and eventually a more natural reef, and to encourage sand accretion on the beach and prevent sand loss by serving as a buffer. Mitchell noted that the reef is already producing some amazing results, especially the increase in beach width. "Considering the amount of erosion in the county over the last few months, it's amazing that we've had any accretion at all," Mitchell said. Tourism board approves use of beach fund for stadium project By CRAIG LUSTGARTEN Waterfront News writer WEST PALM BEACH Palm Beach County environmental officials are worried that the Tourist Development Council (TDC) may be jeopardizing beach renourishment funds after it passed a resolution to use $350,000 of bed tax money from designated beach funds for an athletic stadium at Dwyer High School in North Palm Beach. The TDC is hoping that an expanded stadium will attract state and local amateur events to the county. The TDC, which is an advisory board to Palm Beach County, allocates 50 percent of the third cent collected from hotel bed taxes towards each renourishment. Charles Lehmann, TDC executive director, stated, "The TDC has gotten frustrated with the lack of projects completed by the county using beach renourishment funds." Lehmann added that he would like to see the funds used for other projects if not for beach renourishment, and may Palm Beach nautical briefs Ocean Ridge residents want new bridge built at current site OCEAN RIDGE In a recent referendum, Ocean Ridge residents narrowly favor building a replacement Intracoastal Waterway bridge at its present location on Ocean Avenue as opposed to the Boynton Beach Boulevard extension. Ocean Ridge residents and the town of Ocean Ridge have been battling the Florida Department of Transportation for years to stop a new bridge from being constructed at the Boynton Beach Boulevard location. Proponents of the Boynton Beach Boulevard site say a bridge there would -revive the downtown and be less disruptive to residents and businesses. request an additional $350,000 from the beach fund for the stadium project. The Palm Beach Countywide Beaches and Shores Council, sensing a shift in the attitude of the TDC, has drafted a resolution to the County Board of Commissioners asking them to reaffirm their commitment to funding for preservation of the county's beaches and to continue to recognize their obligation to have a fair and stable long- term tax base for such projects. John Walker, chairman of the Beaches and Shores Council, stated, "We drafted this resolution as a pre-emptive strike in asking the County Commission to commit themselves to maintain beach funding." County beach renourishment funds are used to obtain matching state and federal monies which run into the millions of dollars in order to do beach restoration projects. State to review DNR coastal construction rules WEST PALM BEACH After area residents and coastal property owners complained that the proposed new coastal construction lines for Palm Beach County were too stringent, the Florida Department of Natural Resources has agreed to ask the state for money to review its own erosion model. In some cases the coastal construction control line would move landward some 200 feet under proposed regulations, which DNR says would ensure that buildings could withstand the impacts of severe storms.

Canal herbicide spraying blamed for waterfront resident's illness Special to the Waterfront News FT PIERCE Viet Nam War veteran George Bokes reports that he became ill following spraying of 2-4D and Diquat in the C-24 Canal behind his house. The spray drifted in the air through his windows. Bokes, a New York City cop for 10 years before he moved to Ft. Pierce, has suffered from health problems since he served as a ranger in Viet Nam where he was exposed to Agent Orange and other herbicides, including 2-4D. According to Senior Environmental Biologist Mike Bodle of the South Florida Water Management District, 2- 4D and Diquat are regularly sprayed by District applicators in the C-24 Canal and other Florida waterways to control aquatic weeds. Waterfront residents are urged to read the label on any pesticide or herbicide you may be using near the water!

In 1992, Environmental Water Management of Davie was prosecuted and fined $450,000 for illegally spraying Direx in five different lakes in Broward County from 1990- 92. Direx is prohibited by the EPA for use in water. "We are enforcing criminal environmental laws much more aggressively than we had in the past," said McAlily. -Susan B.

Being briefed beforehand, we deliberately picked superbowl Sunday for our first visit, a day when loyal viewers were more likely to crave subs and pizza rather than steaks and baked potatoes. Although we're talking about a chain with 12 south Florida locations, reports of juicy steaks ranking way above customary chain fare lured us to the Fort Lauderdale location on North Federal Highway. What we found is a decor that is barbecue casual, with dark wood floors and thick laminated wood tables. Although the restaurant is supposed to follow an "Australian theme, this is merely a gimmick played out ivia a few Aussie slogans highlighting menu items. The Outback is the brainchild of Tampa-based Bob Basham and Chris Sullivan, who spent years interning at restaurant giants Steak and Ale and Bennigans before going out on their own five years ago. A casual style demands food that is simple and to the point. Beef is the star of this show and there's several steaks to prove it. Included among the selections are a 12-ounce sirloin, a 20-ounce porterhouse and a 14- ounce New York strip steak priced from $11.45 to $16.95. There's also "Jackeroo chops," pork chops with cinnamon apples, grilled chicken breast wrapped with bacon, mushrooms, Monterey jack and Cheddar cheeses, ribs grilled on the "Barbie," shrimp saute over fettuccine and a grilled fish of the day, ranging from $8.95 to $10.95. All meats, seafood and poultry come coated with a special peppery seasoning used in all Outback restaurants, management reported. However, effort is made to honor special requests. Steak dominates the menu and comes with a house or Caesar salad, the latter loaded with croutons and grated cheese and also accompanied by a loaf of brown bread and a choice of potato. For an appetizer we bypassed the famous "bloomin" onion in favor of the grilled shrimp on the "Barbie" ($5.95). Large, delicious shrimp brushed with butter were served on top of garlic brown bread and a rich creamy sauce on the side. It's a dish worthy of main entree billing. Almost equally good, the steaks were perfectly broiled, peppery and tender even though one was ordered well done. A side order of sauteed mushrooms ($2.50) were obviously fresh and tasty and also worth repeating. And a fellow dinner praised the "bloomin" onion ($4.95), a large bulb lightly breaded and deep fried. We found our waiter to be knowledgeable providing prompt and attentive service. With all this food, dessert was out of the question, but the menu lists an ice cream sundae with coconut and chocolate sauce, New York style cheesecake and a brownie sundae.

Sharing dinners with cruising buddies can lead to the most exciting culinary discoveries. This hot Thai dish is from Jill and Phil, fellow boaters sailing aboard their 47-foot Vagabond, Having a Good Time. We all cooked the dish together while moored here in Tortola, enjoying a wonderful meal under the stars. The beauty of this recipe is that it can be customized to suit your taste. Add your choice of vegetables. Serve it on top of any type pasta you happen to have on hand. If peppers is a preferred vegetable, try deviating from the traditional green in favor of yellow or red Make it your own recipe. For dessert we served light and tangy Lemon Cream Puffs. If you don't care to spend the time making the puffs, the lemon cream filling would be wonderful in hollowed out lemons or wine glasses, served plain or topped with your choice of berries. We hope you'll agree. Thai Chicken with Coconut Basil Curry *4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves cut into bite-size pieces .1 large onion sliced *3 cloves minced garlic *1 or 2 carrots sliced thin or pea pods or any colored vegetable you have available. *2 tbsp. olive oil *1 can coconut milk (we used the sweet type for pina coladas, not frozen) *1 tbsp.

Thai curry paste (can add more to increase spice or 6 red hot chopped dried chillies. *Cooked rice Note: Fish sauce and curry paste are readily available at specialty markets and gourmet shops. Saute garlic in olive oil, add chicken cubes and cook five minutes. Then add vegetable of your choice and saute for two to three minutes. Add coconut milk and next four ingredients to mixture. Simmer about 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Mound chicken on rice or other pasta. We used pea pods to form a star around the rice. Drizzle about 1/3 cup of sauce on top of dish and serve remaining sauce separately. Lemon Cream Filling *6 tbsp. unsalted butter *3/4 cup sugar *4 large egg yolks *6 tbsp. lemon juice (fresh is best) *1 cup heavy cream *Fresh berries (optional) Melt butter in saucepan over medium-low heat. Add sugar and cook stirring one to three minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in egg yolks and lemon juice. Return to medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly for about five minutes. Remove from heat and cook to room temperature. Beat heavy cream until stiff and fold into cooled lemon mixture. To serve, slice off top of puff shells and spoon in lemon cream mixture. Replace top of shells. Nancy Lyons is afreelance chef based in Fort Lauderdale who is currently sailing the Caribbean with her husband John aboard an 85-foot motor yacht.

With accommodations for all budgets, the Keys become accessible and pleasurable beyond imagination to visitors and residents. A boater can enjoy such shore establishments as historic La Concha, Casa Marina, the Reach, Pier House, Cheeca Lodge, Hawks Key Resort, Plantation Yacht Harbor, Holiday Isle Resort, Faro Blanco, The Galleon and a host of others. There also are private upscale yacht clubs such as Ocean Reef. At the other end of the budget scale are marinas and parks with modestly-prici'd camp sites and almost endless protected anchorages where cruising and local boaters swing on the hook for days, weeks, even months and years. It's usually but a short shopping trip by dinghy to find a first- rate supermarket along the highway. This is one remaining marine wonderland where getting there continues to be half the fun. On the east coast go offshore all the way in the Atlantic, or take an inside passage via Florida Bay. Another alternative is the Okeechobee Waterway linking Stuart and Fort Myers and along Florida's west coast. For those who tire of lazy days, there's a fishing tournament almost every week, just as there are boat races for power and sail. Fortunately, there are as many attractions for trailer boat enthusiasts as for yachtsmen, with rental and charter opportunities, including personal water craft, day cruising and sightseeing trips. Florida's Keys begin roughly at the Dade-Monroe county line, including all of Key Largo, and stretch south to within 90 miles of Cuba, curving gently west to Key West, 156 miles from Miami by road. The westernmost Keys, the Tortugas and Fort Jefferson, have no land ties to the mainland and are accessible only by boat or amphibious aircraft. Along U.S. 1, linking Miami and Key West, references are given as "oceanside" or "bayside" and distances are a matter of mile markers, Miami being zero and Key West 156 so one might be directed to drive from Mile Marker 80 to Mile Marker 102 bayside to find a specific address. Miami to Key Largo is 58 miles with Card Sound a longer toll-road alternate. C" .- - S- - ----= --" S c -.a - Traffic among the Keys was by boat until 1912, when the railroad arrived. Only after a 1935 hurricane washed the rails away was the road built. There are 42 bridges, where currents can be challenging and shoaling is a fact of life, as it is through all of the Keys. Sand Key Light, for example, can be anchored in sand above sea level or with legs extending below water, depending on sand buildup or erosion. It follows that a depthfinder, or at least a lead line can be a invaluable navigating tool. Good references for cruising boaters are the Inland Waterway Guide Southern Edition and/or Frank Papy's Cruising Guide to the Florida Keys. Most marinas monitor channel 16 and can provide some assistance. Books, films and television have found the islands a rich resource, offering beauty, recreation and recreational opportunities. Currently, a TV series offers Key West as its locale. On any day a boat offshore is likely to encounter refugees from Cuba or Haitians fleeing their island home. History and adventure are day-to-day events here, not inemories locked away in a musty library. Fishing history is made almost month-to-month as new world records are set. Because the Keys also are habitat for countless birds, bird watchers are likely to be almost as numerous as anglers, scanning sky and shoreline for endangered roseate spoonbills, great white herons, bald eagles, kites and more common gulls, pelicans, ospreys and others. Ospreys frequently build their nests atop utility poles close to the road, and alert watchers can see fledglings being fed. Success and popularity have brought problems along with profits to Keys residents. Old timers are designated Conchs. Older generations have known the prosperity of Key West being designated the wealthiest city per capital in the United States during the 1850s, and one of the poorest during the depression of the 1930s, when many residents subsisted on a diet of grits, grunts and gravy. Through boom and bust Conchs traditionally have extended warm southern hospitality. Pirates roamed here and offshore waters are the final resting place of uncounted ships, including Spanish galleons carrying gold and others precious cargoes. There are a dozen state and county parks, including the most accessible to the mainland, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, Key Largo worth an introductory stop for any visitor. There are boats for rent, including canoes, dive boats, and glass bottom boats to allow visitors to explore the glories of the reefs and the underwater world. In addition to scuba diving, snorkeling trips can be enjoyed by almost everyone. Other parks are equally inviting. Much of the surrounding waters are protected as national marine sanctuaries not always pleasing to local commercial fisherman. There are wildlife sanctuaries on shore as well, one of them protecting the herd of tiny key deer. Artists and authors were among early discoverers of Key West and Audobon House is a landmark, while Hemingway House is a museum open to the public. Tennessee Williams also was a frequent resident. President Harry Truman established a Little White House on the .grounds of the Key West Naval Station. For vacationers, the Conch Train tour of Key West is a long-time favorite. There is an abbreviated trolley tour as well both worthwhile in time and money. Throughout the Keys local chambers of commerce are good sources of information, and a starting point for visitors. There are chambers in Key Largo, Islamorada, Layton, Key Colony Beach, Greater Marathon, Lower Keys (Big Pine Key), and Key West. By road or sea, any visitor is well advised to obtain a shoreside road map soon after arrival at Key Largo. And, by road or sea, with an infinite number of variations available, and visitor to the Keys and Key West who loves the sea can eniov a splendiferous holiday. -.-- / 7 j.

Shaw files luxury tax appeal By KITTY McGOWAN Special to the Waterfront News FORT LAUDERDALE In mid-January, local Congressman E. Clay Shaw filed within 12 minutes of the first day of the 103rd Congress, legislation in the House of Representatives to repeal the Federal luxury tax on vessels. Shaw said, "The marine industry is the lifeblood of South Florida and needs to have lost jobs restored for the benefit of our South Florida economy." Shaw originally filed HR 951 directly following the completion of the Gulf War. This bill was added to HR 11 and came with a pen stroke of success before being vetoed by President Bush the day following his election loss. Marine Industries Association of South Florida President, Rick Alien commented, "It is hoped with a Democrat controlled Congress as well as President Clinton's campaign issues of jobs and the economy, that EXHAUST SYSTEMi/BY-PASS Switch from noisy to quiet with the flip of a lever. $399.00 PER SET Call Emil at (305)771-3232 the luxury tax repeal bill will have smoother sailing through the political process."

Keys anglers in right place at right time By STUART NEWMAN Special to the Waterfront News ISLAMORADA, Florida Keys Islamorada charterboat Capt. Skip Nielsen continued his winning ways Jan. 21 leading angler John Morrell to eight sailfish catch- and-releases to win the Fourth Annual presidential Sailfish Tournament in the Keys. It was the third consecutive year that Nielsen and Morrell, a commercial airline pilot who lives in Islamorada, placed third or better in the event. The contest marked another success story for Nielsen during the 1992-93 Keys sailfish tournament circuit. In November, he guided anglers aboard his boat How 'Bout It to victory at the Key Largo Sailfish Showdown. In December, he was lauded as high-point captain at the coveted Florida Keys Sailfish Gold Cup Competition, a series of three competitions that included the Showdown. "We've learned, during the past five years, to be in the right place at the right time with certain bait combinations," said the 40-year-old Nielsen. "But the real reason for our success is that we have a hookup average of around 80 percent."

I W klu -r l4 __I - I nrmnsur ~i.~j~P~Z 30 Waterfront News March 1993 REAL ESTATE Waterfront real estate demand greater than supply By HANK JONES waterfront News writer FORT LAUDERDALE Property values are created and sustained by "location, location, location," say real estate experts, but when the location is watered down the value goes up. "It's trite, because for a quarter-century now, we've been telling people no more waterfront is being created, and that's true," said Robert P. Gargano, a Fort Lauderdale real estate broker and waterfront specialist. Waterfront property is almost as good as gold. Reporting on Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, for example, Charles Kimball wrote in The Broward Review that resales of many foreclosed condominium units are reported below cost, but losses tend to be at suburban locations, "At buildings fronting on the Intracoastal Waterway or the ocean, demand is greater than supply." By rough rule of thumb, discounting other variables, Realtors can almost forecast a step-by-step progression of the influence water will have on a given property: Given a land-locked lot with a single family home, even in view of a lake in the distance would bring a five per cent premium on the sales price. Move the house and lot directly on a pond, and the price increases by as much as 15 percent. Even a drainage waterway might bring a 15 percent premium or more depending on location, access to the water with a boat, distance from neighbors, and fishing potential. "On Las Olas, for example, a $350,000 home on a 75- or 80-foot lot, might carry a 40- to 50-percent premium purely by reason of the waterfront and boating potential," Gargano said. "Theoretically, take a $200,000 landlocked home in Coral Ridge, move it to waterfront and the price could be $400,000," speculated Gargano. The home's buyer appeal, of course, also revolves around aesthetics, investment involved and potential, and full property utilization. "With the underlying value of the land, some lots have become worth more than the houses built on them. In prime South Florida waterfront lots most of the houses were built in the 50s or early 60s and the structures are not what someone expects for $500,000," Gargano said. "As a result, buyers remodel extensively, or tear the structure down and rebuild. Throughout the three-county area a number of buyers have paid $1 million to $1.5 million for house and lot before improvements. "One problem with remodeling, Gargano cautioned, is flood insurance regulations that limit remodeling allowances. "The $500,000 property might have the real estate valued at $400,000 and the structure at $100,000. That would put a $500,000 cap on remodeling expenses." Hurricane Andrew has put a damper on many plans buyers had for waterfront homes. Insurance is more difficult to obtain and both residential and flood insurance rates are almost certain to go up. In some instances, property and residence may be uninsurable. Waterfront residences are not necessarily tied to the dreams of boat owners, but a boat is a big positive factor in adding value for the owner. "Owners like to look out from the patio or family room and see their boat at their own dock. Ownership pride, convenience, security and cost are factors here," Gargano said. At Pier 66, for example, dockage price includes an attractive package of goods and services, including electricity and water, cable, parking and the resort's facilities and amenities. The price is $1.10 a foot per day on an annual basis; that's $20,075 for 365 days. At times spaces have been sold for "dockaminiums" with $100,000 price tags and there is a steady demand. After all, that's less than five years of rentals at an annual rate. But, from the homeowners view, the $100,000 can be applied against a $500,000 home with a 20 percent economy, and the boat just steps from the kitchen door. Either way, the $100,000 investment proves out: the dockaminium would be worth $150,000 or so at the end of 10 years, while the waterfront home also should appreciate at about the same rate, given today's modest three percent inflation rate. Today's concern with the environment and with the state's waterways mean that while no new waterfront is being created, it's also difficult to build new marina docks. It becomes increasingly obvious that the headlines along the waterfront are "good news" for the seller and "higher prices" for buyers and boat owners. For example, communities increasingly discourage trailered boats in residential areas, tax-financed "free" boat ramps are having launch fees applied, cities discourage private dock rentals in residential areas especially houseboats or liveaboards and it's certainly easier and more convenient to do essential chores when the boat is tied up in your own backyard. .A.

Located Thunderboat Marina 305-980-4829 T-16 T-24 A brand new boat with a heritage as good as Maine can offer. ASHMOO BOATS are descended directly from the famous Jonesport lob- ster boats, respected as some of the most graceful and seaworthy of all power boat designs. Our 24-footer combines the best of the old and the new. Her easily-driven, comfortable hull performs beautifully with half the power of a "modern" hull while offering the durability and low maintenance of fiberglass; outboard power means convenience, trailerability, and more usable space. She is available in a lobster boat model with hardtop or open bass boat style. The Tashmoo 24 is a thoroughbred boat for the discerning skipper. And the prettiest outboard in any harbor. Also available: Tashmoo open skiffs 18, 16, and 15'.
