WATERFRONT J U N E 2 0 0 3 Y e a r 2 0 Is su e 3 ON BOARD IN JUNE Classifieds - Commentary w 0 Event Calendar o w Galley Tide Tables Tentative bridge openings trouble some Palm Beach County boaters By BETH FEINSTEIN-BARTL Waterfront News Writer Temporary restrictions on opening times at bridges in Palm Beach County seem to have hit a nerve with some boaters, who say the new schedule is creating unsafe con- ditions. "It's very stressful," said Alie -Gridley of Boca Raton. "You're contending with the current and the other boats and trying to keep a good distance from the bridge." Gridley and others have until June 30 to air their opin- ions on the closings to the U.S. Coast Guard, which is col- lecting public comments on the Palm Beach County bridge restrictions. Boaters can send letters or emails. "We're looking for constructive criticism," said Michael Lieberum, a bridge manager with the U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast Guard imposed the test schedule on March 17 to determine if new opening times will ease traffic on both the water and the roadways. The restrictions end June 15 when all affected bridges will return to regularly sched- uled openings. The changes have included all drawbridges in Palm Beach County, with the exception of two near the Jupiter Inlet. All totaled, 17 bridges have lockdowns from 8 to 9 a.m. and.5 to 6 p.m. All other times, the Woolbright Road and Lake Avenue bridges open on demand. The remaining A better boat ramp Photo/JOHN ZIEGLER This unused waterfront property off Riverland Road in Fort Lauderdale (pictured on the left) has sat vacant for years, its existing boat launch unused. Residents and civic groups have spent years lobbying for a new launch, which they will now get under a current park project. Please see accompanying story on page 3. bridges open twice each hour, or once every 30 minutes. The two bridges near Jupiter Inlet are exempt from restricted openings and lockdowns because of very strong currents that pose a danger to waiting boaters, Lieberum said. The restrictions were imposed at the request of sever- al city mayors, the county and U.S. Congressman Clay Shaw's office, which wanted the U.S. Coast Guard to come up with a plan that is more equitable for everybody, Lieberum said. "Some of the bridges were opening on demand and some motorists were always waiting for bridges to open and close," he said. "We want to see if a different sched- ule would work." There are presently no plans to have similar restric- tions imposed in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, Lieberum said. Those sending the Coast Guard their comments on the issue must include their names and addresses, other- wise their input may not be considered, Lieberum said. "After June 30, we may come out with another test or have 'notice of proposed rule making," Lieberum said. If there is another test, the public will be given 60 to 90 days notice. With a notice of proposed rule making, people have 90 days to make comments and then a final ruling would be decided, he said. If a new schedule is warranted, it could take at least nine months to implement, Lieberum said. "For years, we have gotten requests to look at indi- vidual bridges," he said.

But that long trip will soon be a thing of the past when construction is completed on a new waterfront park current- ly being carved out of a five-acre parcel overlooking the North New River Canal. Construction of the new Riverland Woods Park is expected to be finished by Dec. 31. Some 200 people attend- ed a groundbreaking ceremony on May 17 at the site, at 4000 Riverland Road. Work crews will renovate an existing single boat ramp on the property that has been unused for many years. A small docking area will be installed on both sides of the launch. Also to be at the site: a tot lot, picnic area, exercise trail, bike path, an entrance road and lighting. The entire project is costing $500,000, with funding to come from state and Broward County grants. It took nearly a decade for the empty lot to finally be transformed into a neighborhood park, said Joan Sheridan, chairman of the Southwest Coalition of Civic Associations, an umbrella group of homeowner associations in southwest- ern Fort Lauderdale. Sheridan, along with other community activists, schools, RhIlUIHhaUiI Leaning Posts T-Tops Ladders Railings Arches Towers NEW RIVER WELDING AND FABRICATION 3100 State Road 84 Unit 203 Ft.

A small docking area on both sides of the launch will also be built. churches, businesses, organizations and political leaders, called for the property to be purchased by the county for recreational use and kept from becoming an industrial site. "It's overwhelming to think that after nine years, this is a reality," said Sheridan, who has lived in Lauderdale Isles for 40 years. "So many wonderful people and organizations worked on this to make it happen. It was grass roots effort." The unused boat ramp now on the property was initially leased from the land's previous owner in 1955 by the Lauderdale Isles Yacht Club, whose members used the launch for some 30 years. Then the new owner who purchased the parcel expressed liability concerns. Club members didn't have enough funds to buy insurance and instead had to launch their boats from ramps in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Sheridan said. The property sat empty for several years until 1994, when Sheridan and others in the Riverland area learned that the owner had plans to develop it into an industrial site. Sheridan, then vice president of Lauderdale Isles Civic Improvement Association, and Gary Stockweather, who was the group's president, asked the owner if he would either sell or swap parcels with the county. A parcel of county-owned, industrial-zoned land in Coral Springs was eventually found, but another $300,000 in cash was needed to make it a fair swap, Sheridan said. The county found the money, from Florida Power and Light franchise fees paid by residents in the Riverland com- munity. The swap was made in 1999, she said. The area where the new park sits was part of unincorpo- rated Broward County. The community was annexed into the City of Fort Lauderdale in September, 2002. The park site was purchased by the county and will be maintained by the city. Gary Stockweather, past president of Lauderdale Isles Civic Improvement Association, said the park is a victory for the community. "It will provide an important place for the residents and families to enjoy the waterfront," he said. "Cooley's Landing is an awfully long way. It's too far for kids to have access to a boat ramp. This ramp will allow kids and people with small boats, kayaks and canoes to get their boats in the river, fish and have fun."

The park is joining Florida Sea Grant, the Sierra Club and the Tropical Audubon Society in a crusade to post 20 containers by November at parks and marinas in Miami- Dade County. "I just took about a 20-minute walk on the jetty, and I have five or six balls of fishing line that I just picked up off the ground. It wasn't even tangled in the trees yet," said Doty, who is the park's education coordinator. "There is a problem, especially along our jetties where there are a lot of anglers. A lot of times we'll find birds entan- gled." If she were a gull or a pelican, Doty would try to touch up her nest with some of the monofilament she found that morning. She'd manage all right with a short piece of heavy- weight leader, but long, loose coils of line would tangle her talons, snag her beak, bind her wings like handcuffs. She'd be stuck with a fish hook, someplace where she couldn't reach it. She might be able to hobble, but not fly. Eggs in a nest? They'd be dead ducks. Reassuringly, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley would say: "Bird thou never wert." Forthose who art, here's how bad the fishing line prob- lem is not just for birds, but also for turtles, manatees and other creatures, even fish. Marella Crane, a marine extension agent for the county and Florida Sea Grant, supplied the fol- lowing data: From 1996-2000, 163 turtles were found entangled in monofilament line, according to the Florida Marine Research Institute. Between 1880 and '99, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recorded the rescues of 96 man- atees from entanglements on the southeast coast from Martin County through the Keys. FWCC has recorded 96 manatee rescues from entan- glements in southeast Florida (Martin to Monroe) between 1980-1999. Between 1995-2000 approximately 35 dolphins in the AK AD HAVEN PARK AND MARINA in Copyrighted Material SSSyndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers"1 Adrian Ballard, left, a Biscayne National Park maintenance worker, sets up a collection tube for discarded monofilament fishing line on the jetty at Convoy Point while the post is steadied by Ryan Just, an eagle scout. southeastern U.S. died of monofilament-related injuries. Researchers have documented over 60 species of fish that have swallowed or become entangled in marine debris. From 1988 to 2001, the last year available, the Ocean Conservancy's annual one-day International Coastal Cleanup compiled a U.S.-wide score of 866 creatures entan- gled in monofilament line, with 171 of those in Florida a Miami area figure, not statewide. Wendy Fox, chief of staff at Pelican Harbor Seabird Station in Miami, vividly describes the effects monofilament can have on wildlife: "Loose line finds its way into the mangroves and roost- ing birds get tangled up and will hang there until they die," she said. "Line picked up on a leg or a wing will become tighter and tighter, cutting off circulation until the limb becomes useless.

Most but not all of the pelicans we pick up at the fishing piers are snagged by active fishing as opposed to just picking up dis- carded line." Wildlife becomes tangled in ropes and other stuff too. Monofilament accounts for an annual average of 42 percent of known cases, but in Florida it's 54.9 percent. Ocean Conservancy even counts the pieces of mono scavenged by its volunteers -443,630 nationally since 1998, with 100,438 of them found right here. Maybe we do more fishing than they do in the rest of the country. And maybe we toss our trash around more care- lessly. The first recycling tubes, resembling periscopes made of white PVC pipe, were posted in mid-May three at Black Point Marina in Cutler Ridge, two at Homestead Bayfront in Homestead and four at Biscayne National Park. After adding the rest of the major marinas, project leaders hope to put recyclers at about 15 more popular fishing sites in Miami-Dade. Grants from the Yamaha Contender Miami Billfish Tournament and BoatUS are helping pay for the project. "The only hard part is finding volunteers to be able to go out there and collect the line," Crane said. "And once it's collected they need to take it to an indoor box. We have them in 13 marine supply stores and tackle shops. They take that line and ship it to Berkley Pure Fishing Company in Iowa." Berkley, a leading manufacturer of fishing lines and other tackle, melts the old line down and converts it to plas- tic pellets, which are recycled in the manufacture of tackle boxes and line spools, but not new line. A lot more line is collected than what fishermen care- lessly toss away. At tackle shops, it's common practice to peel the old stuff off a customer's reel. "Capt. Harry's (a Miami store) fills a box about once a week," Crane said.

It was mom's opinion that I was cynical enough on my own without exploring the litera- ture of post World War I nihilism. One of Kafka's best-known literary pieces (and one of his most depressing) was a story called "The Trial." In this tale, the unfortunate protagonist is taken away from his home by faceless authori- ties without benefit of counsel. He is immediately placed on trial without ever knowing the charges against him or the procedures of the court. Although Kafka meant this story to be a a post-modernist metaphor for 20th century life, to the uninitiated a real trial before an actual court can seem like a Kafkaesque experience if one is not prop- erly prepared for it. By the way, it might interest you to know that Kafka was trained as a law clerk. It is also true that television and movies can sometimes give people the impression that the modem court system is much more expedient than it actually is in reality. This assumption could lead one to accept Kafka's scenario that the court- room is filled with surprise witnesses and unresearched evidence. So, what exactly is the real scuttle- butt on court trials in the United States? Are trials in admiralty different from other trials? Well, let's look at some of the basics: Generally, under the U.S. system, tri- als fit into two categories criminal and civil. Crudely put, a criminal trial is brought before a court by the government (federal, state, or local) against a person, people, or an entity accused of disobey- ing a law that resulted in unacceptable actions. A finding against the defendants in this kind of trial can result in jail time or fines, or possibly both. In contrast, a civil trial is generally brought before a court by a plaintiff or plaintiffs seeking some type of economic compensation, or to stop or alter an action by the defendant or defendants. Trials in admiralty are usually considered a sub-set of civil trials. Unlike some portrayals in the popu- lar media, the time involved from the first filing of a civil case to actually going to trial is not always quick. In fact, it may take well over a year for a civil case to go from its first filing in a court until ending up at trial. One reason why it takes so long is precisely because the system is designed to prevent the Kafkaesque scenario where one party or another does not fully understand the issues that might come up during a trial. Once a civil case is filed, time elaps- es to allow the opposing party to request a dismissal and/or respond to the plain- tiff's accusations. Assuming dismissals have been reviewed and are either denied or tabled by the court, the opposing party will then respond to the accusations - usually admitting to certain general aspects of the complaint against them while denying others. After the defendant has responded to the complaint, there is customarily a long period when the case allows for "discov- ery" between the parties. Ordinarily, the discovery period is when all the parties are supposed to "lay their cards on the table" so that everyone involved will know what will be presented and what MIIl1tMM I!,l1FAMaI : Towing for the fun of it By ARNOLD MARKOWITZ Waterfront News Writer When I win a lottery jackpot, I'll start a home for lost dogs and cats...supplement the food budget for a special cop who's fos- ter mom to a crowd of down and out chil- dren...shelter the homeless, support starving artists, build my wife a swimming pool, send my sister's kids to college. What noble goals! But first, I'll do something more important: hire a driver to tow my boat. Not that I'm lazy. I can launch a boat solo, and I'm pretty good at winching it up single-handed. I'll bait my own hook, thank you, and unhook my own thumb when I stick myself. Steer the boat, fight a fish and take pictures, all at once? Can do. Pull a trailer in traffic? Never again. Soon as I win that jackpot, I'll hire the first sober so-and-so who comes along carrying a dri- ver's license with a photo that could be him. I expect to double my time on the water, because when I don't go fishing it's usually because I'm daunted by towing in traffic. If you pull a boat on a trailer Down Here, you know what I mean. What's your favorite fright? Let's hitch up and list them, one by one, as merrily we roll along. We'll begin at any entrance ramp to everybody's favorite highway, 1-95. The first traffic lane is virtually vacant until we start to make our move. Seeing us, almost every driver swerves over from the other lanes. Now we're out of ramp space. We wait until a collision a few yards back gives us an opening. Once in the stream of traffic, we click the left turn signal (No, don't! Oops, too late) alerting every driver in sight that we plan to sidle into the next gap in traffic. A gap was coming, but now it clos- es up. That'll teach us to signal. As responsible drivers, we leave plenty of space between us and the car ahead, because we know the heavy load we're hauling multiplies our minimum safe stop- ping distance. Other drivers know it too. They leap into our breach the moment it's created, reminding us that we're in hot competition out there. If our families are on the ride, let's encourage them to participate by sorting appropriate words and phrases to cate- gories: profanity, obscenity, blasphemy. Hey kids, other than the finger-flip, how many vulgar hand signals do you know? Just for the sake of discussion, assume we're still alive after numerous compromises of highway safety and basic human decency, and let's get ready to leave the expressway. Our exit's about a mile ahead, a tight fit, but we're smarter than we were before, so we don't signal our move to the right lane. In the side mirrors we see a Grand Prix that had been behind us, first on the left and now on the right, swerving around and cutting back sharply ahead. The driver is a young dude wearing a cap backwards. He leans out his window with his car still in drive and his face in reverse, gesturing with both hands and shouting. The wind carries away his words, but we can tell he's saying something like "Look! One finger on each hand is slightly longer than the others!" Driving around 55 knots, with a boat and trailer behind, we are not as confident as he about taking both hands off the steer- ing wheel, but we can holler at any speed1 If the dude in the Prix can read lips he's still facing backward he can see we're saying something like, "we know many dirty words! Here are some!"

The procedures involved in discovery require that the parties generally know what to ask of the opposing side and that they also be able to explain why they want such information. Discovery (which also includes depositions) can become a very drawn out and even expensive process since, needless to say, some parties tend to be more forth- coming than others. Also, towards the end of the discovery period, most civil courts will typically insist that the parties attempt to mediate their differences before trial (i.e., sit at a table together and work out an agreement). Sometimes, at this juncture, even more information becomes known than would actually be presented at trial due to the fact that details given in mediation are not always subject to the rules of evidence required in a trial. Generally, if media- tion fails and no agreement is reached shortly afterward, the parties will probably end up at trial. This is a very basic description of the process leading. up to most civil trials, including cases in admiralty law. Usually, the main difference in maritime litigation would be questions of which parties would be allowed to go for- ward in a case under certain issues, and in which court. By the time a civil case comes to trial, the mystery and dark comers imagined by existential writers should be completely gone, even in a maritime case. The trial should be little more than a controlled forum for laying out the pertinent information to a judge and/or a jury. No mystery, no darkness, but it's still a long road.

Doty, the Biscayne education coordinator, sees a lot of classes and organizations at the park, putting her in a good position to recruit help and teach people the environmentally correct way to dispose of fishing line: "We hope we can turn this around not only through those recycling tubes, but by going on to the jetty and talk- ing to people and explaining why we have these recyclers there, and the importance of what role they play in what they catch. There are people here who run fishing clinics for kids. We all know the cost that fishing lines pose to wildlife, and we do try to talk to anglers about it." For one, thing, monofilament isn't biodegradable. Although its breaking strength weakens with time, it's sup- posed to last about 600 years. Also, we mustn't merely toss it into a trash barrel because birds, for all their better qualities, are garbage-pick- ers. Seagulls especially. "We can all put it in the trash, Doty said, "but if it goes to Mt. Trashmore (a county dump), birds can be picking up those large pieces and bringing them back where other birds and creatures can be entangled in it. If you're going to throw it in the trash, cut it up in small pieces." For more information, check online: www.fishinglinerecycling.org Navigating S.

It is fun, isn't it? Doesn't pulling a boat trailer on 1-595 or South Dixie, to name some more of everyone's favorite roads, make you want to crank down the ol' convertible top and burst into song?

This month's feature explores restoration efforts taking place at Matheson Hammock in Coral Gables. By WILLIAM R. HAWKINS Waterfront News Staff Tom Kazo slowly paddles his canoe through the quiet, narrow water trails of Matheson Hammock in Coral Gables and looks with amazement at his surroundings. "When we first started coming here, there were so many downed trees and debris clogging the trails that you could- n't squeeze through," he said. "Now the water is flowing with the tides; the fish and birds are back and the vegetation is healthier and growing," said Kazo, 70, beaming as he speaks. Kazo's Wildlife Research Team, WRT for short, is responsible for a major cleanup at Dade's largest wildlife preserve. Since 1999, a team of 300 WRT volunteers have clocked more than 9,000 weekend hours pulling, cutting and carrying out more than 166,000 pounds of debris by hand and canoe. Though it's a slow process, Kazo said his dedicated nonprofit, all-volunteer educational foundation is committed to restoring the hammock. They've taken on the largest mangrove green space pre- serve in Dade. Matheson Hammock was first created in 1938 with donated land and other land purchased by Dade County. It is located off Old Cutler Road, bordered by Biscayne Bay on the east and Snapper Creek Canal on the west. Despite all the work, the preserve still has a long ways, to go. Kazo estimates it will take four years for the park's 630 acres much of it under water to be well on its way to good health. "I never would have guessed many years ago that I would be doing this, but I love it and wouldn't want to be doing anything else:' said Kazo, a Davie resident.

Grants from state and federal agencies, including the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, has helped SWRT undertake projects across the state. Using 40 canoes, the team has eliminated more than S200,000 pounds of debris from sections of Fort Lauderdale's SNew River, as well as performed a major cleanup of the North Fork of the Miami River in Dade County. The Matheson Hammock project is by far the largest challenge and a number of grants have helped buy equipment and pay for the disposal of trash collected. The WRT was con- tracted to perform the cleanup with the Dade parks system. WRT volunteers come from all walks of life and are all ages. A couple in their 80s work alongside teenagers or a team of doctors from Barry University who have taken on the hammock as a community service project.

Then living along the Mississippi River in Illinois, Van Den Breen's love of boats took shape. Today he builds mega yachts, and in his spare time helps kids experience the joy of craftsmanship. For the last five years he has served as chairman of the annual South Florida Plywood Regatta, scheduled to take place this year May 31 to June 1 on Fort Lauderdale beach. "It's a great opportunity to see young people take such an interest in boating and the event has helped to open the eyes of many as to possible careers in the marine industry," he said. Van Den Breen's dedication has reaped honors from his marine industry peers. Last year he was given an "Award of Excellence" from the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF), regatta sponsor, and last month was Photo/WILLIAM HAWKINS named "Individual of the Year" in the annual National Week Brian Van Den Breen may build big boats, but most of of the Ocean Community Marine Awards. his time is spent in front of a computer keeping track of "I'm honored with the awards, but it is the regatta and the building process. all the hard-working volunteers and sponsors who deserve When the MIASF tried to expand its Plywood Regatta the recognition," he said. five years ago, Van Den Breen volunteered to help.

On May 31, the teams will gather at DC Alexander Park on Fort Lauderdale beach and will go to work using plywood, a jig saw, a drill and various manual tools. They build the craft, add a coat of paint, and then come back on June 1 to put them in the water for competition. The average length of the boats is 12 feet. "We always have a so much fun watching the kids go to work and really be competitive," Van Den Breen said. The regatta also is the largest fund-raiser for the coun- ty's marine magnet school program, which last year earned $10,000 from the event. This year, with more sponsors com- ing on board, the regatta will be able to offer several $1,000 college scholarships to students pursuing marine careers. "The schools have been able to use the money to build things like a boat dock at the New River School and buy new machinery at the high school," said Van Den Breen. "It's been rewarding to me to see the enthusiasm grow each year in the regatta and more and more students taking part," he said, praising the corporate sponsors who donate wood, caulk, paint and the like. Frank Herhold, MIASF executive director, said Van Den Breen's work' was given the "Award of Excellence" because he has been "inspiring" to young people to pursue marine industry careers." "Brian is a man of enormous talent and drive," said MIASF's Vawter, who nominated him for the National Week of the Ocean honor for his community service. "I con- tinue to admire not only his ability to build boats, but his dedication to building the future of our marine industry." Completely Renovated!

We're trying to come up with something that will work for the boaters and motorists." But many motorists might not be aware of how diffi- cult it is for boaters to wait at the bridges, Gridley said. "We cross the bridges in our cars fairly frequently," she said. "It's a lot easier to sit in your car and wait than in your boat. Someone who doesn't own a boat might not understand that." Recently, Gridley and her husband, Bob, missed the opening by a minute or two at the Palmetto Park Bridge. The couple had to wait in their 35-foot sailboat for 30 minutes. Before the restrictions, openings at the bridge were on demand, she said. "If these restrictions were imposed permanently, it would greatly affect the boating industry," Gridley said. "The length of time it would take to go up and down the Intracoastal would be a determent." M.F. Sullivan, another boater from Lighthouse Point, said the restricted openings have already caused him to avoid traveling north. "On several occasions I was going to go up that way, 11 kill I NIV11,121 The restrictions end June 15 when all affected bridges will return to regularly scheduled openings. but I changed my plans," said Sullivan, who owns a 21- foot runabout and a 36-foot sailboat. On his last visit to the Camino Real Bridge, Sullivan said there were lots of boats waiting to get through. "It creates unsafe conditions," he said. "The bridge is near the inlet, meaning there is a high amount of current." Don Winans, marine representative for the Boca Harbor Homeowners Association, owns a 35-foot center console that fits underneath the bridges. But his neighbors in Boca Harbor, a waterfront community in east Boca Raton, have higher boats. "When I go out on the water now, I see five to 10 boats waiting at a bridge," Winans said. "I've never seen that many waiting before. Maybe, before there was one boat. This is a safety hazard." If the restricted openings are made permanent, boaters cruising through Boca Raton might in for a double whammy.

Presently, only Marker 57 to the Boca Inlet is slow speed. "Essentially, if this proposal goes into effect all of Boca Raton and Highland Beach would be a slow speed or no wake zone," he said. The creation of a slow wake or slow speed zone is on hold, however. Boca Raton city officials recently agreed to conduct public hearings on whether to fund a study of manatees to determine if a speed reduction is warranted, Winans said. If Boca Raton moves ahead, Highland Beach has offered to contribute monies toward the study, he said. "If the speeds are reduced and the bridge times are restricted, it will create more boat traffic," Winans said. "It's going to be a mess."

In addition to kicking off the Discover Biscayne Bay campaign, the eight-day water trek will raise funds for Biscayne Bay habitat restoration and education projects sponsored by Citizens for a Better South Florida through sponsorships and pledges." An urge to do it in a period of good weather hurried the project, so only about $4,000 of a $10,000 goal had been pledged by the time the voyageurs set out on Sunday, March 30. The rest of the money should come easily if their suc- cess in obtaining non-financial support is a good measure. From their professional and social networks, Ordenes, Reed and Schuemann acquired enough overnight shelter and food to minimize roughing it and dining only on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Cape Florida State Park and Biscayne National Park granted atypical courtesies. Waiting out the wind that first night and second day at Key Biscayne, the paddlers decided to buck the weather just a little. A friend of a friend had given them permission to stay on the deck of his Stiltsville place. Even though it would knock only a mile or so off the next .day's paddle, it seemed like a good idea at the time so they did it. Ordenes' log, again: "The winds were so strong that night that we were all concerned that my tent would fly away with me in it. Even after tying it down, every corer lifted like a magic carpet desperate to find its master. So much for sleeping." Here she is again, recording day four: "We left Elliot Key and paddled to Adams Key for lunch (more PB&J). We decided to enter into Jones Lagoon for a little tour and hopefully find our way through, back to the Bay. Good teamwork and Stuart's ability to stand in his kayak proved useful in finding our way out of the mangrove lagoon. Jones Lagoon is definitely a must for any paddler." Waiting out the weather on the second day reduced the planned time for rest and exploration the rest of the way. Everyone knew the trip would be physically demanding, but it began to exceed expectations: "The day progressed nicely but I started to feel fatigued crossing Card Sound. It was a large body of choppy water that day with 15 to 20 knot winds coming from the east to northeast. The Card Sound bridge, our final destination, always seemed like it was moving farther away instead of closer. I was a tired pup." The paddlers made it to Alabama Jack's, the funky landmark saloon on Card Sound Road, and were eager to feed on conch fritters there. Instead, they were met by Rod Jude, a Sierra Club board member who took them in a powerboat to the vacation home of Joe and Nancy Hoyt on Linderman Key, a private island at the northwest tip of Key Largo. The Hoyts had agreed to let the paddlers spend the night in a guest cabin, Jude told them, and he had trapped some stone crabs for them. That sounded splendid, but it got better: "Joe and Nancy welcomed us into their home with affection and grace. They purchased lots of wine and extra food for our stay; they played Van Morrison on the CD and we all danced the night away under the stars on their private island called Linderman Key... "In the morning we awoke to hot coffee, orange juice, bagels with chive cream cheese and fresh Nova thanks to Rod again. Stuart led a brisk yoga class on the dock that faced the sun as it was rising in the early morning." Up close Want to try circumnavigating Biscayne Bay in a kayak?

Its square-riggers traveled for years on end to all parts of the globe in pursuit of whale oil to fuel lamps and streetlights. The town's waterfront teemed with sailors and trades people attracted by the whaling industry's promise of pros- perity. At the height of the whaling era, it's said that New Bedford enjoyed the highest income per capital worldwide. Its broad residential avenues sparkled with the striking man- sions and fanciful gardens of wealthy ship merchants. in January 1841, a 21-year old seaman named Herman Melville set sail from New Bedford aboard the whaler Acushnet, bound for the Pacific. Five years later he played out the events of the journey in a series of books beginning with "Typee" and culminating in "Moby Dick" in 1851, often called America's greatest novel. Today, several sites depicted in the book can still be vis- ited: the Seaman's Bethel with its prow-shaped pulpit; the handsome mansions of Quaker ship owners such as Rotch- Jones-Duff Harris; and the environs of the African- American church into which Ishmel stumbled as he was searching for lodging. A coastal city residing midway between Boston and Providence, R.I., New Bedford is home to one of New England's largest Portuguese communities, with 60,000 of the town's 100,000 residents.of Portuguese heritage. Their ancestors, many of them fishermen on whaling ships, migrat- ed here as a port of both entry and opportunity. So it's no surprise that much of New Bedford's culture and food reflects its Portuguese heritage. The city hosts the oldest and grandest festival of Portuguese culture in the nation, the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament. Begun in 1915, the four-day festival attracts more than 200,000 visitors in late July. It features parades, musical per- formances everything from traditional Portuguese music to rock, jazz and pop and a huge.barbeque that's fortified with casks of sweet Madeiran wine imported just for the event. New Bedford still owes its living to the sea and its water- a*I^Mmr- Available from Commercial News Providers" front reflects it. Don't expect to wander through clusters of trendy shops, boutiques and restaurants at the harbor's edge. The seaport city is home to one of America's leading fishing and scalloping fleets; each morning the city wharves are jammed with fishing boats whose crews are busy readying their rugged vessel for that day's haul. Preserving the city's legacy was no easy task. During the late 1960s when buildings were being leveled to make way for urban renewal, a determined pack of citizens banded together to stymie a number of proposed development pro- jects, sparing New Bedford's history and neighborhoods. In 1996 President Clinton signed the law that established the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, run by both the city and the National Park Service. The 13-block waterfront district is at the center of the town's revival, home to a variety of museums and smaller cultural institutions as well asrestaurants, shops, galleries and vibrant nightspots. The Visitor's Center, once the old Fish Auction House, is worth a stop. One of the city's self-guided architectural tours includes the Rotch-Jones-Duff House & Garden Museum. Built in 1834 for whaling merchant William Rotch, Jr., this Greek revival mansion is located on a full city block of formal gardens with period rooms that reflect 150 years of the economic and social evolution of the city. Adjacent to the Visitor's Center is the Freestone's City Grill, an 1877 stone landmark where the bartender will pour you a pint of Buzzard Ale. The former bank building offers award-winning chow- der, Black Angus steaks, local seafood and creative salads. The Candlework Restaurant along with its 19th century decor of granite walls, post and beam ceilings, specializes in gourmet Italian American cuisine. The site once manufac- tured spermaceti candles (smokeless and odorless) from the raw oil of sperm whales. Along the main drag, Acushnet Avenue, there are some terrific Portuguese eateries. Locals flock to the Angolan BBQ, known for its spicy stews and a chicken dish topped with a gindungho pepper sauce. Antonio's serves up north Portugal fare, try a casserole of pork with littleneck clams and shrimp, or skewers of scallops and linguica. At scores of take-out places you can pick up a bag of malassadas: a hot dough flecked with sugar similar to doughnuts minus the hole. Located on Johnny Cake Hill at the national park, the New Bedford Whaling Museum houses the world's largest collection of whaling paraphernalia. Exhibits tell the story of how New Bedford "lighted the world," when whale blubber was rendered into oil at high temperatures aboard ship, then transported to fuel lamps until it was replaced by kerosene and gas in the 1860s. Check out a 66-foot, rare blue whale skeleton and the display of scrimshaw. Whale men on voyages spent countless hours carving and scratching decorations on sperm whale teeth, whalebone and ballen, used in producing skirt hoops and buggy whips. Also on display is the Lagoda, an 89-foot, half-scale replica of a square-rigged whaler complete down to its hand-sewn sails. You'll also find extensive collections of period art glass, logbooks, photographs, and paintings of the region and whaling industry. New Bedford has preserved the story of its early settlers, whaling merchants and mariner forefathers in a fitting tribute to Herman Melville's lifetime quest of learning.
