Columbus Day Regatta gains sponsor, rookie seminar

Last year's Columbus Day Regatta on Biscayne Bay:
this year the event gains a commercial sponsor and a
seminar for rookies. n

West Marine lends its name
to 50-year-old race
By BETH FEINSTEIN-BARTL
Waterfront News Writer
The Columbus Day Regatta will reach the half-century
mark when one of the state's oldest sailboat races gets
underway on Oct. 9.
"It's amazing that this race has been around for so long,"
said Margie Benziger of Miami, a regatta committee mem- .
ber. "It's such a tradition. We have people come from all over
the state and from out of state. It's very pretty. When you see
the boats sailing down Biscayne Bay, it's very impressive."
The 50th regatta sets sail at 10 a.m. on Biscayne Bay,
near the Rickenbacker Causeway in Key Biscayne. Entrants
will race to Elliot Key in Biscayne National Park and spend
the night. The following day, the boats will head back.
Fees are $75 for those registering before Sept. 26. After
that date, the cost increases to $90.
A skipper's meeting for entrants will be held Oct. 8 at
the Coral Reef Yacht Club in Miami. A representative from
Biscayne National Park.will speak about the park's rules for
anchoring. A talk on safety will be conducted by a repre-
sentative from West Marine.
The official title of the race has been changed to the
West Marine 2004 Columbus Day Regatta. It is the first time
in the event's history that a commercial sponsor has been
attached to its name, said Larry Whipple, race committee
chairman.
Last year, about 140 entries participated in the race.
This year, organizers are striving to attract 200 or more
boats, Whipple said.
To draw contenders, committee members have added a
new seminar for rookies and are expanding the number of
raffle prizes at the awards banquet.
"We're trying to make it extra special," Whipple said.
The seminar was held on Sept. 21 at the Coconut Grove
SSailing Club in Coconut.Grove.

"People have always talked about how they would like
to race, but they are not a racer," Benziger said. "We
thought we would offer a seminar to walk people through
the competition."
Following the regatta, an awards ceremony will be held
Oct. 16 at the Coral Reef Yacht Club.
Trophies are different each year and their design is
always kept secret. To commemorate the 50th anniversary,
Benziger promises this year's trophies "are spectacular."
For the second year in a row, an award will be given to
the rookie who finishes with the best time. In addition to a
trophy, the winner will receive a two-night stay at the
Mutiny Hotel in Coconut Grove, which is sponsoring the
award, Benziger said.
The awards party will also feature a performance by the
MAST Academy Steel Drum Band and free samples of
Gosling Rum.
Prizes in the raffle will include vacation packages at
the Cheeca Lodge & Spa in Islamorada and The Mayfair
House Hotel in Coconut Grove; a sailing lesson provided
by Shake-A-Leg Miami; two Kooleraire portable air con-
ditioning units from ACforSale Inc.; a high-tech Sailcloth
Briefcase donated by UK Sails; a complimentary visit to
Curves Ladies Gym; two Columbus Day Regatta 50th
anniversary prints suitable for framing; and merchandise
from West Marine.
"In the past, we had two or three raffle prizes," Benziger
said. "But this year we have tons. We went all out for the
50th anniversary. Our committee worked extra hard to find
sponsors and donations."
Although several new additions are afloat for this year's
regatta, it's likely there will be one mainstay: hundreds of
boaters spending the weekend in Biscayne National Park.
The visitors are not associated with the regatta, yet their
sometimes rowdy behavior has unfairly tainted the event.

Eatery envisioned for Dania Pier could be a reality by next year

By BETH FEINSTEIN-BARTL
waterfront News Writer
After 10 years, Dania Beach Pier may finally get a
long-awaited restaurant.
In early September, city commissioners approved allo-
cating $350,000 to complete the project. If plans go as sched-
uled, the eatery should be finished and open for business 14
months from now, said Ivan Pato, Dania Beach city manager.
The restaurant will be owned by the city and leased to
Ute and Sven Stork, former owners of the Bistro La
Tavemetta in Fort Lauderdale. The Storks have a 10-year
agreement with the City of Dania Beach.
The restaurant is expected to specialize in seafood,
with a casual menu for lunch and more upscale entrees at
dinner, Pato said.
Before the old pier was devastated by Hurricane
Andrew, it had housed a small eatery that served hot dogs
and hamburgers, Pato said.
When the new pier was built, elected officials envi-
sioned the restaurant project as.a draw that would bring
more people to the beach, he said.
Presently, the only dining spot is a food stand that sits
just south of the pier.
Having the restaurant will give more dining options to
residents and visitors who want a beachfront view.
Support for the project is wide spread. "It's expected

m

to be a landmark destination," Pato said.
The city took out a loan for $650,000 that officials
were told was necessary to build the restaurant. But years
later, an additional $350,000 is required to cover the rising
costs of construction. The extra funds will be taken from
the city's budget, Pato said.
Because of this year's particularly rough hurricane
season, city commissioners approved funding the
$350,000 provided that the restaurant can be insured and
that an engineer is hired to design a sturdy structure.
The condition of securing insurance has already been
met, Pato said.
Hurricane Andrew destroyed the Dania Beach Pier.It
was later rebuilt under stricter South Florida building
codes created after the storm.
"Hurricanes remind all of us of the vulnerability of liv-
ing in South Florida," Pato said.
But he is confident that the pier's eatery will be able to

withstand an Andrew-type storm. "I'm more concerned
about some of the older buildings in the city than the
restaurant, which will built to the new South Florida build-
ing codes," Pato said.
With the added funding approved by city commission-
ers, the next step will be to produce architectural and engi-
neering drawings, then seek bids from construction com-
panies, Pato said.

Hurricane Andrew destroyed
the Dania Beach Pier. It was later
rebuilt under stricter South Florida
building codes created after
the storm.

The restaurant will be one level instead of two stories,
as originally planned, Pato said.
"Conditions for building on coastal areas have been
updated and changed," he said. "The city needed to build a
different type of building for the pier to support it."

Photos of historic workboats to go on exhibit Oct. 15

Photographer calls skipjacks 'a slice
of America's nautical heritage'
By BETH FEINSTEIN-BARTL
Waterfront News Writer
More than 30 years ago, Bill Peterson took photographs
of skipjacks racing in Chesapeake Bay.
Peterson thought he had lost the film until Julie Meek,
whom he calls his business and life partner, discovered the
negatives. The restored images have since become part of an
exhibit that captures what Peterson calls "a slice of
America's nautical heritage."
The photographs will be shown for the first time in
South Florida from Oct. 15 to Jan. 10 at Joe Picasso's
Interactive Studio & Cafe, at 888 E. Las Olas Blvd. in
Fort Lauderdale.
The cafe hosts revolving exhibits. "We support local
artists by giving them a venue," said Steven Way. manager
at Joe Picasso's.
The display marks the second exhibit of Peterson's
work since the. pictures were restored two years ago. The
only previous show was in the summer of 2002 at the
Reedville Fishermen's Museum in Reedville, Va.
The "Skipjack Sunday" show at Joe Picasso's will fea-
ture some 23 images of the vessels, which were originally
designed for dredging oysters from Chesapeake Bay. Five of
the stills are in color with the remainder black and white.
Limited edition prints will be for sale.
The photos were taken in the late 1960s off Deal Island,
Md. "A time I now remember as a Skipjack Sunday," said
Peterson, who owns a film production company with Meek.
The couple lives aboard a 50-foot catch named Colony II,
docked in Fort Lauderdale.
The images in the exhibit were taken when Peterson
was working at a television news station in Richmond, Va.
"I found out there would be a large gathering of skip-
jacks for a race on the bay," he said. "I wanted to get some
footage because I was afraid they were going to die off."
After Meek found old film and still photographs, it took
more than 300 hours to restore the negatives. "They're bet-
ter than the originals," he said.
The photographs depict "hard working watermen sail-

ing their work boats, just for fun," Peterson said.
The pictures give people a joyful glimpse into a fading
breed of boats and men. It celebrates America's last fleet of
working sailboats, Peterson said.
The Chesapeake Bay skipjack fleet is the last commer-
cial sailing powered fishing fleet in North America. It is
believed the vessel earned the name because its passes over
the oyster beds resembling the skipjack mackerel and skip-
jack tuna that leapt out of the bay's waters, according to
www.baydreaming.com.
Peak building years for the skipjacks were from
the 1890s through the first decade of the 20th
century. The vessels were designed to easily navigate the
Chesapeake's shallow waters, according to baydreaming,
a website providing information on boating, fishing, trav-
el, events and history of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland
and Virginia.
It is estimated there were once about 2,000 working
skipjacks. But much of the fleet was abandoned after a sig-
nificant drop in oyster prices during the early 1900s.
Although prices increased after World War II, leading to
the construction of some new skipjacks, the number of boats
began declining in the 1970s.

The "Skipjack Sunday" show
at Joe Picasso's opening Oct. 15,
will feature some 23 images of
the vessels, which were originally
designed for dredging oysters
from Chesapeake Bay. Pictured
Sis Peterson's photo, "Racing" shot
off Deal Island, Md.

Today, there are about 30 skipjacks. Some have been
restored and are in museums. Others are used for tours and
educational purposes. A few still dredge for oysters in the
bay, the website stated.
Peterson's fascination with the vessels dates back to the
early 1960s when, at age 20, he and three buddies bought an
old skipjack.
"We fixed it up," Peterson said. "We thought we were
going to go on a great adventure."
The friends sailed the boat from Chesapeake Bay to
North Carolina, where it was stolen, he said.
A few years later, Peterson sailed around on another
skipjack that belonged to a former business partner.
Peterson said he equates the cotton-canvassed skipjacks
gliding into the sunset to the covered wagons that once jour-
neyed west. The boats have come to symbolize the
American spirit, he said.
"Their graceful unvarnished beauty is a living symbol
of the character and fiber of the American waterman,"
Peterson said.

A waterbike by any other euphemism is still a Jetski

By ARNOLD MARKOWITZ
Waterfront News Writer
There was a lot of excitement
when the Personal Watercraft
Industry Association asked the
government to reconsider banish-
ing water bikes from Biscayne
National Park. What, you didn't
know they were banished? Why
else do you think it's so nice and
peaceful there?
The association assured every-
one that Jetskis, also called water Arnold Markowitz
bikes, or scooters, or personal
watercraft (PWC), or the most popular nickname,
Blasphemous Obscene Dirty Words (BODWs), are nicer
than they used to be that they're quieter, with more effi-
cient engines, and are less disturbing to the environment.
Even if that's so, fishing-doers will argue that
Jetskis appeal mostly to lowlifes whose idea of a good
time is spoiling someone else's. It's not a matter of a
few rotten apples making a whole barrel smell bad; it's
just the opposite.
Before getting
further into that,
let's acknowledge
Mister Jetski, Esq.
(Big J to his pals).
As the K'whatchamacallit
Company's attorney, Big J's
noble goal is to prevent the
brand name from slipping into
the common lower-case lexicon,
which could put the trademark
in jeopardy. Big J wish-
es the news media and .
the general public would- =
n't use the j-word when speak- -o '-
ing about, about, um, well, y'know,.' ,r
about Jetskis, but darn them, they do it any-
way, don't they?
Aside to Big J: Pssst. You call them what you
want; we'll call them what we want.
Here's good, news about Jetskis: they are excellent life-
guard accessories. If other high purposes are found for

them, who knows? A day may come when stewards of our
national marine treasures forget the real reasons for giving
jetskiers the heaveho from 66 national parks and seashores.
Noise? Fumes? Oh, come on.
They did it because they saw that Jetskis had some-
thing in common with weapons: nothing bad happened
until some fool got his hands on one and began playing with
it. Maybe it seemed that only fools were involved with
Jetskis, but it seemed that way very convincingly.
So that's how the Personal Water Euphemism earned
its bad reputation. The U.S. Department of the Interior did
what it had to do. So did some other governments. The
Village of Key Biscayne is just the latest to declare
Jetskis and their riders, taken together,
non grata.
Let's be fair to Jetskis: poor
things, they're cursed at only
because of the people who ride
them. As for the manufacturers, they
found that market and embraced it. It's
their own.
I could wear you out with stories demon-
strating that true BODWs, those riders, are reckless,
immature and dangerous. You've probably heard and seen
worse stories than mine, so I won't repeat them.
I do have a personal Jetski experience that I've
never printed until now for fear that people
would call me a liar or a religious nut.
On my honor, I swear:
./ I once saw two guys riding Jetskis
,o responsibly.
See? I knew you wouldn't believe
It.
S<' Really, they were in the Everglades on
the L-67 canal, where I was fishing. As the jet-
skiers approached me, they moved to the opposite side
and slowed down as they passed.
I told only a few friends about the strange incident.
They said when I'm out in the hot sun I should wear a hat,
so I got one and kept this story under it.
Well, you can imagine my surprise when the ecclesias-

tical investigations started.
My first visitor was a bearded gent wearing a black suit
and a big black hat, with a little black hat underneath, and
a striped silk scarf with tassels even though it was summer-
time in Miami. I gave him a glass of tea and we shmoozed
a while.
"So," he finally said, "I understand you have seen the
face of Gee Dash Dash."
No, I told him, I saw two guys on Jetskis, being con-
siderate of other boaters, slowing down, not buzzing fisher-
men or tearing up their lines.
"Miraculous!" he agreed,
"but for a real miracle you
should not have seen two, for
as you must know, there is only
one Gee Dash Dash. By the
way, I notice you are wearing
bifocals."
Bifocals don't give you dou-
ble vision, I explained, insisting
there really were two guys on two
S Jetskis. The man made a few notes
and went away.
-'0 Soon I had another visitor
dressed in black. This one didn't wear a
hat or a silk scarf or a beard. He had an
Italian accent.
"Are you sure you saw two?" he asked. "As you must
know, there are three divine entities four if you include
the Holy Mother. Sometimes we get false reports, well-
intentioned of course, from people who, it turns out, actu-
ally saw the Queen Mary. Ha, ha! Say, aren't those bifo-
cals you're wearing?"
The latest news on the Personal Watercraft Industry
Association's request for reconsideration of The Jetski
Question in Biscayne National Park is that the government
will think it over.
Should fishing-doers worry?
In a few other parks, the industry association has been
able to demonstrate that environmental excuses for the ban
have receded, but those are places without manatees or
crocodiles, which we have in Biscayne.
We can still contend that Jetskis are dangerous to those
creatures, but to be on the safe side, let's also teach the crea-
tures to be dangerous to Jetskis and their riders. Once a few
of them are devoured, it will be easy to prove they are indi-
gestible, undesirable prey.
That should make the ban stick.

Bush's energy policy reflects short-term interest

To the Editor:
Hurricanes are born in warm ocean waters. Global
warming helps to provide the conditions that spawn hurri-
canes, and our emissions of greenhouse gases help to
cause global warming.
After four years denying that global warming is
occurring and that our actions have anything to do with it,
the Bush administration has at last acknowledged that
global warming is real and is the result of our emissions
of C02 and other greenhouse gases. But they assure us
that this has no implications for policy.
Bush's policy has been to increase domestic oil
drilling and coal mining to achieve energy independence.
But it is impossible to achieve energy independence by
accelerating depletion. We have only 2 percent.of the
world's oil reserves and import 60 percent of the oil we
use. We will never drill our way to energy independence.

L toItheiEitor

Instead this policy will drain America first leaving us at
OPEC's mercy. And it will result in more global warm-
ing, which is not in our best interests.
John Kerry supports energy conservation and
development of renewable energy. This is the right
path for energy independence, climate stability and the
environment.
The Kerry-Edwards plan will bring a stronger, safer,
more secure America. Bush's policy is in the short-term
interest of the big energy companies, but is no good for
the nation as a whole.

Rockville, Md.

Kerry exhibits political opportunism over naval service

To the Editor:
Besides being personally arrogant and self-absorbed,
John Kerry has exhibited the most blatant political oppor-
tunism. It is a fact that real war heroes don't beat their
chests proclaiming their service and calling themselves
heroes.
Yet, the most liberal of our 100 senators by voting
record, John Kerry does this daily. Did you ever hear Bob
Dole, a true hero who went through far more than most,
do such a thing when he was running for president?
In Vietnam, I served in a recon platoon and three
infantry rifle companies during three tours. I neither com-
mitted nor observed any of the atrocities that Kerry testi-
'fled under oath were the norm among American troops.
The attack against our troops in Iraq is being led by
many politicians appearing in the media. These extreme
liberals are greatly damaging the war against terrorism.
They are also internationalists who would have us get per-

mission from a corrupt and predominantly anti-American
U.N. before defending our country.
A true crisis of choice and direction is facing our
great country. Who do you think our enemies want as the
next U.S. president?

Once called 'Tomato Capital Dania Beah bOCTOBER 2004

Once called 'Tomato Capital,' Dania Beach branches out

By WILLIAM R. HAWKINS
Waterfront News Writer
This is one in a series of special features on land-
marks along South Florida's waterways. This month's
feature explores the City of Dania Beach.

Settled as a Danish farming community 100 years ago,
Dania Beach continues to branch out from its tomato-
growing past.
"... Now we need to look at where we are today and our
future, which means becoming more identified with the
expanding marine industry"' said Annie Beattie, manager of
the city's chamber of commerce.
The city's challenge as it nears the end of its centennial
year: retail and small business growth, Beattie said.
As Broward's oldest city settled in 1904 Dania
Beach's proximity to the ocean and Intracoastal are among
its best features. But the city has never elicited the fanfare of
neighbors Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood.
"Look at the airport," said Beattie. "It's partially locat-
ed inside Dania Beach, but the name is Fort Lauderdale-
Hollywood because those names are more recognizable."
But in its early years, Dania was bigger than both of
them.
Danish farmers from Wisconsin traveled down the
Florida East Coast Railroad in 1901 and jumped off in a
wilderness area known as Modello. They discovered rich
soil perfect for farming especially tomatoes. By 1904 the
city incorporated, its name honoring its Danish founders.
At the time, Dania was actually in Dade County while
Broward was just forming. Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood
were also in the early stages of development, and Dania even
tried to annex the smaller Fort Lauderdale. In 1926, Dania
annexed to Hollywood, but a year later voted to withdraw
and go it alone.
In 1927, the city took on the moniker, "Tomato Capital
of the World," when its first Tomato Festival was held. The
annual event ended in 1958 but was revived in 1999, with

land, tomato growth declined. In 1957, the city saw its last
major tomato crop.
Today, the city has its own "Tomato Man" in the form of
Michael Saunders. For the past 14 years, Saunders has been
a familiar face along Dania Beach Boulevard and Sheridan
Street where he sets up his cardboard table produce stand.
"I know the story about Dania's tomato history," said
Saunders. "But what I sell is not grown here, but people
from the area have been buying them for a long time and it's
keeping the tomato past alive."
Five days a week, Saunders drives from his Stuart
home to Dania Beach to sell roadside tomatoes that are
grown in Orlando.
"These are the best tomatoes in the world," said
Donna Mentrasti, who's lived in Dania Beach since 1959

and has been stopping at Saunders' roadside stand for the
past four years.
In 1945 the city began focusing on a new industry -
antiques. The first shop was opened by the Ely family and
others followed, drawing eager buyers from around the
world. Hotels began to flourish along Dania Beach
Boulevard. In 1954, Dania Jai-Alai opened its doors on
the thoroughfare.
"While we still have a number of antiques shops along
Main Street, we have seen many close their doors as a new
generation of owners are opting to get out of the business,'-
Beattie said. From a high of 70 shops, the current number is
now about 60.
The city has been looking at ways to redevelop down-
town and make Dania Beach Boulevard more pedestrian-
friendly to attract more retail and restaurants.
Today, Dania Beach is home to: Florida Atlantic
University's Sea Tech Center Institute for Ocean
Systems Engineering, Nova Southeastern University's
Oceanographic Center, Bass Pro Shops' Outdoor World and
the International Game Fish Association Fishing Museum
and Hall of Fame, the 253-acre John U. Lloyd Beach State
Park, the Anne Kolb Nature Center, the RTM Star Center
and the Design Center of the America's (DCOTA). In addi-
Stion, dozens of small marine businesses and marinas call
Dania Beach home. Parts of the 2,100-acre Port Everglades
also are in the city.
Each April, the Dania Marine Flea Market takes place
at Dania Jai-Alai, with more than 900 vendors.
"Our strategic location provides an ideal framework for
businesses to relocate here," said Dania Beach Mayor
Robert Anton. "We continue to grow while still maintaining
our small town atmosphere."
In celebration of its 100th anniversary, the city has been
sponsoring events throughout the year. On Nov.14, the offi-
cial Centennial Celebration will be held at Frost Park, 300
NE Second St., Dania Beach.

She's really cooking now: boat captain pens 10th book

Kids cookbook to debut at
Ft. Lauderdale boat show
By WILLIAM R. HAWKINS
Waterfront News Writer
For the past 10 years, Capt. Jan Robinson has been writ-
ing about the fun adults can have mixing boating and food.
.Now she's decided to involve kids.
"I've been collecting recipes for years that would be
fun for kids to do and thought it would be nice to give them
their own book to help guide them along," said the sailboat
captain and cookbook author.
Now the "Kids Caribbean Coloring Cookbook" will
make its debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat
Show, which runs from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1. And next
February the book will also appear at the Miami
International Boat Show.
"I'm really excited about the venture," said Robinson,
who visits South Florida often from her home base of
Charlotte, N.C.
Robinson has sailed since her childhood in New
Zealand to her move to the U.S., in 1971. In 1979 she and
her husband Sean bought a 60-foot sailboat and began
offering weeklong charters out of the Virgin Islands.
With four guests per trip, Robinson was able to mix her
sailing and cooking skills to create gourmet meals at sea.
"Everyone was so pleased about being able to eat so
elegantly while out on the water," she said.
The success of the meals prompted Robinson to trade
recipes with other yacht captains, eventually sparking the
idea of writing them all down so they could really share.
From there, Robinson began to write seriously. Her
first book, "Ship To Shore" came off the press in 1983
and sold 5,000 copies in two months. It included 680
recipes from 65 boat captains. That book is now in its
14th printing.
Robinson then penned "Ship To Shore Cocktails," fol-
lowed by "Sweets to Shore," which addressed desserts.
Next came "Bahama Mama Cooking" and "Virgin Island
Cooking." She followed up with a healthy lifestyle book

Captain and cookbook author Jan Robinson will debut
her 10th book, "Kids Caribbean Coloring Cookbook"
at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in
late October.
when she penned "Slim to Shore." It takes the author about
two years to work on a book before it is finished.
Over the years, she has collected more than 2,500
recipes from 300 yacht captains.
Robinson's newest kids' cookbook marks her 10th

publication. In it, she has mixed cartoon characters and
recipes along with helpful tips on how youngsters can help
in the kitchen whether it's on a boat or at home.
The book includes 32 pages of recipes and 32 pages of
cartoons including "Lucy the Lobster" that can be col-
ored in the new book, which the author said has been test-
ed on youngsters from age 6 to 14.
Robinson no longer does charter sailing directly, but
she now books trips for others who want to take sailing
adventures to exotic ports in places like Italy. But she still
cooks and writes.
"I think I'll focus next on dishes with a Mediterranean
flavor to them," she said.

New sponsor, but same party atmosphere expected at regatta

r party atmosphere:" Whipple said. 'The regatta is a sailboat
race and has nothing to do with the boaters who go to the
park for the weekend."
The party atmosphere will occur, regardless of whether
the regatta is there or not, he said.
"One year, we finished the race at the north end of the
bay and another year we held the regatta the weekend after
Columbus Day."
Both times, the park was filled with boats during the
holiday weekend, Whipple said.

To ensure safety, regatta committee members work
closely with the national parks service and the U.S. Coast
Guard, Whipple said.
Entrants stay in a designated anchorage that is patrolled
by law enforcement. Of the entry fee paid by regatta partic-
ipants, $30 goes to the park, he said.
"The regatta participants are the only ones that pay a
permit fee to use the park," Whipple said.
The 2,000 or so visitor boats that spend the weekend in
the park pay no fee.
The only fee they are charged is $15 per night to anchor
at the Elliot Key and Boca Chita harbors, where there are
boat slips.
Regatta entrants will be monitored, but not too closely.
"Because of the event's history, we know they provide their
own boats to make sure their people are safe," said Holly
Rife, chief ranger at Biscayne National Park.
Much of the law enforcement will be centered outside
the regatta's designated and secured anchorage, aimed at the
vacationing boaters not involved with the race, she said.
Restrictions will be imposed for the holiday weekend,
including a rule allowing no more than five vessels rafting
together, Rife said.
Park officials are also bringing back a restriction creat-
ed last year, which forbids excessive noise from boom

Boaters can also again expect a heavy law enforcement
presence. Patrols will be conducted by officers from federal,
state and local agencies. Volunteers from the U.S. Coast
Guard Auxiliary and MADD will assist visitors too.
"Last year, we had 120 law enforcement officers and
plan to have the same number this year," Rife said.
The increase is primarily due to three drinking-related
fatalities that occurred two years ago. It led park officials to
more than double law enforcement efforts for 2003, she
said.
Rife credits last year's increased patrols with the park
having no fatalities. A woman was revived after she was
found floating face down in the water.
In addition to law enforcement, park employees will
monitor the featherbeds to ensure that vessels will not run
aground and damage sensitive seagrass areas.
"Our mission is to protect the resources," Rife said.
Employees will also distribute brochures with rules and
regulations and a map at the park's marinas.

Columbus created a lasting interest in long sea voyages

that papal edict giving all that land to Spain....
The first to protest were the Portuguese, who convinced
a new pope (a Medici rather than a Borgia) to move the line
for Spanish control further west, later giving Portugal its
control over Brazil. In the meantime, other monarchs were
busy trying to curry favor with Spain, including England.
To this end, the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella was
married to the future King Henry VIII. Within the context of
world politics, it has sometimes been conjectured that one of
the ancillary advantages for King Henry becoming
Protestant relating to his divorce of the Spanish princess,
was that it allowed England to ignore any papal edicts about

Spain's exclusive right to newly discovered lands.- The
Protestant Dutch also took the same position, so the Age of
Exploration was on.
Columbus planted the seed, creating a resilient interest
in long voyages. This brought on a need for better ships,
competent and healthy crews, protections for cargo and a
need for courts to enforce laws to protect both investors and
national economies.
Although the English Courts of Admiralty had existed
long before Columbus, it was after his death that maritime
law truly took on the appearance it does today. So .the
Admiral of the Ocean Sea actually invigorated the Courts of
Admiralty.
It is quite possible that without Columbus we'd be living

Bald Head Island, NC: home to bootleggers, lighthouses

UmM

By TERRY CONWAY
Waterfront News Writer
Surfmen first manned the Cape Fear Life Saving
Station in the 1880s. Captains and crew patrolled the shores
24/7 looking for signs of ships in distress. When a troubled
vessel was spotted, a seven-man team would row its surf-
boat out to rescue the shipwrecked passengers.
Those heroes are fondly remembered on Bald Head
Island, NC in the naming of the Cape Fear Station one of
six carefully planned and distinct villages. A semi-tropical
isle on the southernmost tip of North Carolina (100 miles
south of the Outer Banks), Bald Head is accessible only by
private boat or passenger ferry a 20-minute ride from the
charming riverfront community of Southport.
Early river pilots named the island. The "Bald" in the
island's name refers to the high dune headland on the south-
west point that was devoid of vegetation.. Today, visitors dis-
cover 14 miles of excellent beach, 200 acres of maritime
forest, tidal creeks and a colorful history peppered with ref-
erences to pirates, bootleggers and lighthouse keepers.
Bald Head's architecture was influenced by the turn-of-
the-century frame houses built for Charlie Swain (lighthouse
headkeeper for thirty years) and his assistants. Ravaged by
time and tide, the houses have been carefully preserved and
now surround a common area. Two-story homes with wide
porches on both levels, picket fences and cedar-shingled sid-
ing recall elements of old fishing towns. Renting one of these
vacation houses is the way to go.
Wax myrtle, yaupon and beautyberry, along with sabal
palms, dogwoods and live oaks are plentiful. At Keeper's
Landing, a wooden walkway extends 500 feet over the
marsh with an observation deck at the end of the pier. It
affords great views of the Atlantic, the ancient forests, salt
marshes and even a glimpse of Old Baudy, a lighthouse
commissioned by Thomas Jefferson. With its distinctive off-

Bald Island, NC: The island's relaxed pace has long lured
sailors. Creeks and river offer up red drum, speckled
trout and flounder, while surfcasting brings in bluefish.
set lantern atop the 110-foot tower, Old Baudy is the oldest
still-standing lighthouse in North Carolina.
People on the island travel via electric carts, bicycles and
by foot In the marshes, lanky herons and egrets appear like
sculptures in the green grasses, while autumn breezes bring
in waves of migrating birds resting and feeding on the island.
Popular conservancy programs focus on endangered logger-
head turtles. A wealth of salt marshes and creeks allow for
canoeing, fishing, clamming, crabbing, and kayaking.
The island's relaxed pace has long lured sailors. The
creeks and river offer up red drum, speckled trout and floun-
der, while surfcasting brings in bluefish. Fishing boats reel

in Spanish mackerel, billfish and dorado. Nearby artificial
reefs teem with snapper, grouper and king mackerel, while
50 miles off the coast, fishermen hit the Gulf Stream in
search of wahoo.
The Bald Head Island Fishing Rodeo is a billfish catch-
and-release competition held the weekend after Memorial
Day, while each September more than 500 boats take part in
the U.S. Open King Mackerel Tournament. Winner takes
home $25,000 for the largest catch.
Bald Head Marina serves as a convenient base for
boaters cruising the Intracoastal Waterway and the
Atlantic. The 10-acre protected harbor is framed by float-
ing docks where transient dockage is available for yachts
up to 115 feet. It's surrounded by the Harbour Village
neighborhood.
Eb & Flo's Steam Bar is a laid-back, open-air pavilion
overlooking the marina where people eat steamed and fried
seafood, burgers and sandwiches served at picnic tables.
Check out the Cape Fear Steamer that includes shrimp,
clams, oysters, mussels, Alaskan crab legs, kielbasa sausage,
corn and potatoes steamed in beer and Old Bay.
Just steps away from the ferry landing, The River Pilot
Caf6 is known for shrimp and grits as well as innovative
seafood dishes. Over at the Maritime Market you'll find a
full-service grocery store offering fresh fruits, vegetables,
meats, seafood, fresh baked breads and an extensive wine
selection. Environment gifts, books and apparel can be
found at Turtle Central, while handblown glass humming-
bird feeders are among the rare finds at the Silver Peddler.
