The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway (known asthe Tenn-Tom) is a manmade waterway that wasbuilt to connect the Tennessee and Tombigbee

rivers for commercial traffic. Construction was a mas-sive undertaking that took 12 years to complete andmoved more dirt than the Panama Canal project. Inaddition to its commercial use, the Tenn-Tom hasbecome a joyful destination for boaters. Ken Crutcher

and his wife, “Admiral” Myra, have been cruising theTenn-Tom on their boat Moon Shine regularly since1996. It was on one of these trips that Myra tookher nickname as Admiral when she teasingly stated toKen, “If you’re the Captain, I guess that makes me theAdmiral!” Titles aside, the Crutchers know their wayaround the Tenn-Tom.

South Carolina and the CivilWarBy boat, the historical importance of Charleston and Hilton Head come alive

By Capt. Jeff Werner

cruising through history >

For all the bluster and saber rattlingby the secessionists in South Carolinain the run-up to the CivilWar, it issurprising that so few battles tookplace in the Palmetto State.Thebattles that were fought, however,were concentrated around CharlestonandHiltonHead Island, which nowhappen to be favorite areas for boaterscruising the IntracoastalWaterwayand the South Carolina coast. Usingthe unique perspective of your boat,you can visualize the strategies of theopposing forces as you cruise throughhistory in CharlestonHarbor orPort Royal Sound.

The H.L. Hunley was named after Horace Lawson Hunley,who helped finance and design the vessel.

Antebellum Charleston was a cityof affluence and refinement built onthe underpinnings of slavery. Afterthe Revolutionary War, this seaporthad the highest per-capita wealthamong whites and the largest numberof enslaved blacks in the United States.When South Carolina passed anullification ordinance in 1832,allowing its state rights to trumpfederal law, the slide into the abyss ofwar began. After Abraham Lincolnwas elected president, South Carolinabecame the first state to secede fromthe Union, and that action was pivotalin starting the secession movement.Just six weeks after South Carolinaseceded and one month before Lincolnwas even inaugurated, the ConfederateStates of America was born.At 4:30 a.m. on April 12, 1861,

the Confederate bombardment of

Fort Sumter, which guarded theentrance to Charleston Harbor,began—and with it the Civil War.The next four years would be spentby the Union trying to wrest controlof Charleston from the rebels whilesimultaneously maintaining a blockadeof the port city from the sea.In order to improve the resupply

and refueling of the South AtlanticBlockading Squadron off Charleston,the U.S. Navy chose to establish a baseat Port Royal Sound, 50 miles downthe coast, to be taken by an amphibi-ous invasion force. The U.S. fleetdeparted from Hampton Roads, atthe south end of Chesapeake Bay,on Oct. 29, 1861.While off CapeHatteras a few days later, gale forcewinds scattered the fleet. Some shipswere sunk, others washed ashore, anda few returned home for repairs, but

the remaining ships in the fleetmanaged to straggle to the rendezvouspoint off Port Royal Sound, and thebattle was finally engaged on Nov. 7.Within six hours, the Confederatearmy abandoned its forts. After theirvictory, the Union forces occupiedHilton Head and offered shelter to1,000 slaves seeking refuge from the20 plantations on the island. A yearlater, Mitchelville was built as the firstfreedmen’s village on Hilton Head.The 1989 Academy Award-

winning film Glory depicted theexploits of the 54th MassachussetsVolunteer Infantry, the first all-African-American regiment in theU.S. Army.Their white leader, ColonelRobert Gould Shaw, was offered com-mand of the new unit after recoveringfrom wounds he received at the Battleof Antietam in 1862. In the summerof 1863, the all-black regiment wassent south from Boston as part ofthe force trying to put an end toConfederate control of Fort Wagner,on Morris Island, which guarded thesouthern approaches to CharlestonHarbor. On the night of July 18,under the battle cry “Forward, Fifty-Fourth Forward!,” Colonel Shaw ledthe regimental charge on the fort.

As Shaw mounted the fort’s parapet,he was shot through the heart anddied instantly. The 54th continuedthe assault. Sergeant William Carneyseized the Union flag from a downedcolor bearer and planted it atop theparapet, but after an hour of enduringan intense barrage of grenades, canistershot and small-arms fire, the 54th wasforced to retreat. Carney, despite beingwounded by bullets, brought the Starsand Stripes back to the Union lines.Of the 600 black men who began

the charge, more than 250 becamecasualties of war. Although theConfederate forces carried the day, the54th’s valor helped assure their placein history by dismissing any lingeringskepticism that free black men wouldnot make good soldiers. SergeantCarney received the Medal of Honorfor his heroism that night.Attention then turned back toward

the city of Charleston, considereda legitimate target under the rules ofwar at the time. Siege artillery beganthe bombardment of Charlestonduring August of 1863, continuingon and off for more than a year,leaving much of the city in ruins.By 1864, between the Union

bombardments and the shipping

blockade, Charleston was in desperatestraits. In an attempt to finally breakthe blockade, the Confederate Navylaunched its secret weapon on thenight of Feb. 17. Powered with a hand-cranked propeller manned by its crewof eight, the 40-foot long submarineH.L. Hunley skimmed silently belowthe surface of Charleston Harbor andout into the Atlantic. The submarine’starget was the USS Housatonic,a 205-foot-long sloop of war poweredby both sail and steam. The

Housatonic was on station about fivemiles out to sea. Two minutes beforethe attack, the officer of the decknoticed an object approaching theship with “the appearance of a plankmoving in the water.” Then the Hunleyrammed her spar torpedo into the hullof the Housatonic, and the submarinebacked away. The torpedo was deto-nated, and the Housatonic sankwithin five minutes.The world had just witnessed the

first sinking of an enemy warship bya submarine in combat.While thischanged the future of naval warfare,it did little to break the blockade. The

Charleston is known as“The Holy City”because of its church-filled skyline.

The Confederate Bombardment of Fort Sumter started the CivilWar.

Confederate submarine failed to returnto port and would never be able toharry the Union blockade again. In the1970s the wreck of the Hunley wasdiscovered, and she was finally raisedback to the surface in 2000. Althoughthere was no conclusive evidencefound to determine the cause of thesinking of the Hunley, it remains oneof the most important Americanunderwater archaeological finds ofthe 20th century.

After General Sherman capturedSavannah on Dec. 21, 1864, at the endof his March to the Sea, he turned hisattention north and marched throughSouth Carolina. The Confederacyabandoned Charleston on Feb. 15,1865, when General Beauregardordered the evacuation of the remainingtroops. Three days later, the mayor ofCharleston surrendered to the Union.Eventually the scars healed, the

ruins were rebuilt, and the animositiesput to rest. Today, Charleston hasbecome a showcase for historicpreservation and an important CivilWar touchstone, and Hilton Head

has become a southern vacationplayground. And the best way tobegin your journey into the historyof South Carolina is with your boat.

Capt. Jeff Werner, a licensed USCGMaster, has sailed professionally through-out the Caribbean,Mediterranean,Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico and EasternSeaboard and has two transatlanticcrossings under his keel.

TOBERMORY, ONTARIO is located at thetip of the Bruce Peninsula, a narrowfinger of land separating Lake Huronfrom the Georgian Bay. The GeorgianBay, in many people’s opinion, shouldhave been designated the sixth GreatLake, but Samuel de Champlain, the firstEuropean to explore and map the area in1615, saw it as a bay of Lake Huron andcalled it “La Mer douce”—the calm sea.Boaters have been working and playingon that “calm sea” ever since.Tobermory is one of the premier

towns on the Georgian Bay and has thegood fortune of being home to twonational parks—one above the water andone below. It is also set in the heart of aWorld Biosphere Reserve. Tobermory isuniquely suited to be a northern boater’sparadise. The numerous islands and fresh

clear water combine to make this areaone of the world’s most beautifulcruising grounds.There are several ways to approach

Tobermory by water: from the souththrough the Trent-Severn Waterway andthe Georgian Bay; through the NorthChannel and Manitoulin Island; oracross Lake Huron from Michigan tothe west. However you approach it, it isbreathtaking. Another memorable way toarrive in Tobermory, if you’re traveling bycar, is aboard the MS Chi-Cheemauncar-and-passenger ferry, which connectsRoute 6 from South Baymouth onManitoulin Island to Tobermory. It hasbeen a Great Lakes tradition since the1930s to travel across this ferry route.The name “Chi-Cheemaun” translatesfrom the local Ojibwe language as“Big Canoe.” It is a trip to remember.The two primary harbors in

Tobermory are Little Tub and Big Tub,with the town’s business area centeredaround Little Tub Harbor. The town’scommerce is based on the seasonalboaters and scuba divers who come toenjoy the area’s unspoiled beauty. Theyear-round population of 1,200 grows

substantially in the warmer months.Boaters can stay at the TobermoryMarina (519-596-2731) in LittleTub Harbor or at Big Tub HarborResort Marina (519-596-2219,www.bigtubresort.ca). If you’re lookingfor more seclusion, you will find manyempty coves in which to drop anchorand enjoy pristine shorelines. Visitorsby land will find no shortage of hotels,bed and breakfasts and cabins to rent.The natural splendor of the area is

protected by Bruce Peninsula NationalPark. The park contains a uniquegeological ridge called the NiagaraEscarpment, which extends fromNew York through Michigan andMinnesota and comprises the shorelineof many of the Great Lakes. Alongthe Bruce Peninsula, the NiagaraEscarpment forms dramatic cliffsrising out of the sparkling lake water.Fathom Five National Marine Parkprotects the area’s rich maritimehistory. Tobermory has been an entrypoint for shipping for hundreds ofyears. Over the centuries, the region’suncharted rocks and reefs have takentheir toll on these vessels, and the

shipwrecks preserved in the freshcold water are a scuba-diving historylover’s wonder world. Tobermory isknown today as the scuba-divingcapital of Canada. In addition toprotecting the shipwrecks, the parkalso protects the region’s lighthousesand island ecosystems. The islandssurrounding Tobermory hold some ofthe world’s most picturesque harborsand coves. Flowerpot Island—withits signature, sculpted limestoneshorelines, carved by wind and water—is one of the most photographedislands in the Great Lakes.It is many boaters’ dream to

cruise through the Great Lakes,whether as part of a Great Loopadventure or as a destination untoitself. If you are not lucky enough tolive in this beautiful area or do nothave the time to get your own boathere, you will find several chartercompanies ready to help you plan acruise. Two weeks aboard a charterboat—sail or power—will give youample time to explore the Tobermoryarea as well as the renownedNorth Channel.

The region’s magnificence andseclusion is second to none, but itcomes with some navigationalchallenges. The dramatic rockyshorelines descend beneath the water’ssurface, creating unforgiving obstaclesfor the inattentive boater. But oneof the benefits of a rocky shoreline,unlike a soft sandy bottom, is thatonce it is charted accurately, it changesvery little. As long as you pay carefulattention to the charts and localcruising guides, you will have littleproblem navigating the area.Tobermory is a three-season

destination. Many of the businessesclose in December and open againin March. This spring would be anexcellent time to plan a summercruise to remember.ml

Tales of an Epic Journey to Chesapeake Bay

Crab Decks & Tiki BarsWhile we wait for the waitress to bring us a dozensteamed crabs, we raise our glasses in a victory toast. Ourcelebration goes unnoticed, because it’s a sunny day andwe’re sitting at a Chesapeake Bay crab deck that’s bustlingwith people who are busy with their own hot crabs and coldbeer. An armada of boats is pulling into the marina below,and children are fishing from the dock.Amid the happy chaos, we smile and shout, “We did it!”

For seven months, my husband Bill and I traveled to morethan 160 crab houses and tiki bars on the Chesapeake Bay,and this crab deck is the last stop on our epic journey.We have been gluttonous along the way, consuming

about 11 gallons of crab soup, 300 oysters, 85 crab cakes,40 pounds ofmussels, 25 rockfish, 200 steamed shrimp andLord knows how many beer, wine and rum drinks. But ithas been worth every calorie.

Tasting the local wares was requiredresearch for our book, “Crab Decks &Tiki Bars of the Chesapeake Bay.”Officially, the book is a travel guide tothe waterfront eateries that serve someof the tastiest seafood on the planet,but in our hearts it is a family album,packed with memories of the placeswhere we had our first romantic dates,taught our boys about jellyfish and blueherons, and caught rockfish in theshadows of the Bay Bridge.Our celebration continues when the

plastic tray holding a pile of plump redcrabs lands on our table. I watch withadmiration as Bill eases the tender meatfrom the shells. His hands move as

swiftly as a Phillips processing plantworker’s, because he’s a true Marylandnative who’s picked crabs since he wasjust a pup.He generously hands me a few

meaty backfin clumps, knowing thatpicking crabs doesn’t come easy forme. My youth was spent in westernPennsylvania, stalking brook trout incool Allegheny mountain streams. Butever since my first bite of Marylandrockfish, I’ve embarked on a quest totaste all the Bay’s seafood delicacies andunlock the secrets of cooking them.We order another round and lift our

glasses this time to all the crabs that

sacrificed their lives for our research.Ironically, our travels have paralleledthe same migratory path that crabsswim each year in the Bay. Bill nibbleson a hush puppy while we reminisceabout where it all began. Our startingpoint was southern Maryland, whereBill’s father had a home near thePatuxent River. Cruising around the

hidden necks of St. Mary’s and Charlescounties uncovered a cornucopia ofrural treasures.We discovered a gem tucked away

at a marina up the Port Tobacco River,where the cream of crab soup set thebar high for all the others we tasted.A trinity of restaurants on Popes Creekshowed us how the rolling farmlandscould accommodate a lively tiki bar,a traditional crab house and anAmerican-cuisine restaurant in oneremote location. Between meals, wewould sneak in history lessons bytaking our boys to places along thePotomac River such as St. Clements

interrupts our trip down memory lane.A sunburned boater tells a tale aboutthe super-sized rockfish that got away,while his buddies cackle in disbelief.After the mayhem dies down, Billreturns to our story. He reminds mehow we had to adopt a new researchstrategy when we headed north towardAnnapolis and Baltimore. Insteadof scouring the countryside, wherelocating crab decks often felt likefinding a needle in a haystack, we facedthe daunting task of investigating scoresof restaurants in congested urban areas.The best approach, we decided, was tobegin on the outskirts and then headinto town. Rivers such as the Middle,Back and Severn often felt like MainStreet in suburban communities, withall roads leading to the water and crabdecks acting as community centers,where neighbors convened to catch upon local news.Tiki and crab décor often collided,

creating watering holes for familiesduring the day and singles after dark.Outside Annapolis we noticed thatsailors dressed in uniform were ascommonplace at crab decks as water-men in raincoats and boots. In Dundalkand Glen Burnie, smokestacks puffedfumes into sunsets over the water, andboaters wearing Ravens jerseys pickedcrabs alongside businessmen in suits.I take a slow sip of my Chardonnay

and remember the frigid trips toinner-city crab decks. Knowing thatmost of Baltimore’s waterfront eateriesare open year-round, we saved those

visits for the offseason.We bravedfreezing rain and snowstorms, butwaitresses always warmed us up withsteaming bowls of creamy oyster stewand spicy vegetable crab soup.We had already spent a lot of time

in Baltimore, but researching the bookgave us a new objective: to see if thistown really is the epicenter of craband tiki. And we weren’t disappointed.We feasted on sautéed soft shellstopped with beurre blanc at tablesdraped in white linens, and we sampledhard shells coated with Old Bay ontables covered with brown paper. Wedined in a restaurant shaped like a shipand watched watermen haul fresh catchfrom rusty boats. And a tiki bargeplopped in the middle of the InnerHarbor gave us an ideal view of the cityskyline at night. Yes, the urban crabscene was better than we had expected.Feeling frustrated that I can’t get

the last morsel of meat from a claw andsecretly wishing I had ordered a crab cakeinstead, I take a break from pickingand ask Bill to tell me his favoritepart of our journey.Without a doubt,he answers, it was the NorthernHeadwaters. His parents kept theirboat at Kent Narrows, so he had neverseen where the Susquehanna poursinto the Bay, and he relished thediscovery of unfamiliar territory.On a warm spring morning, we

I loved the historic homes lined upalong the water in Chestertown, but theislands and marshes around Crisfieldhad stolen my heart.During one of our exhaustive

research stages, I had eaten oysters whilestaring at Baltimore’s city skyline onThursday, and then by Saturday I wason the Eastern Shore driving along thenarrow causeways of Hoopers Island,gazing at the rugged primal marshland.That’s when I understood the many faces

and moods of the Chesapeake Bay.Each neck and tributary has its ownpersonality, and I had come to cherishthem all.We take one last look at the Bay as

The Texas Gulf Coast Bend from Palaciosto Port Aransas abounds with balmy seabreezes, boat-to-plate seafood, a temperateclimate and a simpler lifestyle. Coastalcruisers should allow plenty of time to tourthese small towns offering big opportunitiesfor exploration.Palacios (pronounced Puh-LASH-uhs)

is nestled along the Tres Palacios Bay,midway between Galveston and CorpusChristi. Its deep historical roots go backto the 1685 arrival of the French explorerLaSalle. In the mid-1990s, a ship lost inthat expedition was discovered inMatagorda Bay. Recovery of the ship-wrecked La Belle is considered one of thegreatest archaeological efforts of the latterhalf of the 20th century. Palacios’s City by

the Sea Museum (361-972-1148, citybythe-baymuseum.org) has a special display aboutthe voyage. Every Fourth of July, residentsin full costume re-enact LaSalle’s landing.The port is home to the largest fishing

fleet on the Texas coast. Recreationalboaters share the harbor with about 200shrimp trawlers, one of the largest fleets inthe United States—it’s no surprise that theport of Palacios is known as the “ShrimpCapital of Texas.” Downtown, the Outrig-ger Grill (515 Commerce St., 361-972-1479) serves up local shrimp a half-dozendifferent ways.

KILLER WHALES INHABIT every ocean inthe world, even the Arctic and Antarctic. They are anintegral part of the marine environment—and now, theyneed our help.Orcas have been calling the Pacific Northwest home

for thousands of years. Males of the species can grow to26 feet and 12,000 pounds. They are exceptionally fastmarine mammals and can reach speeds up to 30 knots.There are three distinct types of orcas: resident, transientand offshore, and each has its own culture, dialect anddiet. They are all in critical danger due to lack of prey,pollution, disturbances from marine vessels and, manybelieve, military sonar.The resident-orca pods of the Salish Sea were declared

an endangered species in 2005. There are currently onlyabout 83 of these orcas in the region. The whales areclosely monitored by the Orca Network, and sightings areusually posted on the group’s website, orcanetwork.org.Resident orcas dine primarily on salmon, specificallyChinook (king) salmon. They can follow schools ofsalmon and pick out only the Chinook with theirextremely sensitive underwater sonar.The transient-pod orca populations travel extensively

but return to the same areas annually. They prefer a dietof marine mammals such as seals, sea lions and otherwhales; in some cases, they feed on the occasional deer

or moose swimming between islands. The resident andtransient pods avoid each other and “speak” entirelydifferent dialects.Both populations’ dialects are also distinct from the

third group’s, the offshore pods. The orcas in these podstend to be smaller than the resident and transient onesand have a combined diet of fish and mammals. They areprimarily found off the islands of British Columbia.Many individuals and organizations in the Pacific

Northwest have come to the orcas’ aid. One of them is thePort Townsend Marine Science Center, an educational andscientific organization devoted to understanding and con-serving the region’s marine and shoreline environments.Located in Fort Worden State Park in Washington state,at the extreme northeast point of the Quimper Peninsula,the center was established by two teachers 30 years ago andwas initially supported by volunteers. The extraordinarystaff has now grown to number more than 100 people.Another group dedicated to the cause is the PortTownsend Bay Maritime Education Alliance. The six-member staff passionately believes that environmentaleducation may be the strongest ally the orcas have. TheWhale Museum of Friday Harbor contends, “It is onlythrough an understanding of the orcas’ needs for a healthyhabitat and plentiful resources that we can develop theconservation policies that will ensure their survival.”

1. Choose not to pollute our waters. Don’t dump holdingtanks directly into the water, never discharge oily bilgewater, and use devices such as the Davis InstrumentsNo-Spill Fuel Catcher to prevent any fuel spills that mayoccur while filling up.

2.Minimize the use of fertilizer products you use on yourlawns. Runoff from these products contains harmfulchemicals that can affect the lowest levels of the foodchain, which is eventually deeply harmful to marine life.

3. Consider using the new boat-bottom paints that mini-mize or eliminate copper and other materials to discouragemarine growth. Even small amounts of copper sloughedoff by older paints can end up in the eel grasses consumedby fish lower in the food chain. These fish are part of asalmon’s diet and when toxic can destroy a salmon’s abilityto return to the stream from which it came. This in turndepletes the availability of food sources for predators suchas killer whales.

4.Maintain safe distances fromall marine mammals. Whales,porpoises and dolphins should begiven clear paths, and you shouldkeep at least a 100-yard buffer zonebetween your vessel and these ani-mals. In 2011, the NOAA FisheriesService adopted new regulations toprotect all killer whales in the PacificNorthwest. The new regulations require that you not causea vessel to approach within 200 yards of any killer whaleand that you not position a craft to be in the path ofa killer that is within 400 yards of your vessel.

5. Learn more about what you can do to positively impactour marine and shoreline environments. It’s through manysmall, individual actions that we can expect to see improve-ments in our endangered lakes, streams and oceans.ml

Spring is prime time to catch trophy-sized striped bassalong the Jersey coast from Raritan Bay south toBarnegat Inlet, where some of the best action occurs

as massive schools of menhaden choke the bay and the coastand attract schools of stripers.Raritan Bay includes the New Jersey and Staten Island,

New York coasts with numerous launch ramps for visitinganglers in several locations. Several Marinalife-membermarinas in the area put you right in the heart of the action,where 25-pounders are average and striped bass well over30 pounds are quite common.Water temperature and arrival of the bunker are key

factors to when the action heats up. A mild winter willget local anglers anxious to get out on the water, wherethey’ll search for bass by late April, although live-liningbegins around mid-May and lasts well into late June andsometimes early July.Mixed in with the striped bass are the season’s first

bluefish, and these toothy critters start chopping on themenhaden and create a natural chum slick that seems totrigger the bass into a feeding mode.When the watertemperature reaches 50 degrees, the bunker and bass willstart to show in mass and the fishing gets red-hot.Live bait is the key, and getting on the bait early is para-

mount. Look for bunker to pop up anywhere at any time,though daybreak and dusk offer the best chance at finding

Live from theMet!Live-liningmenhaden is a deadly tactic to score trophy-sized striped bass formetropolitan area anglers.

schools flipping on the surface. Bunker are planktoneaters and prefer off-colored water, and although they canbe found at all depths, locating a surface school willquickly fill the livewell with a cast net, even thoughthrowing an 8- or 10-foot net takes some practice.An easier approach is using a bunker snag, a treble

hook cast into a 3- or 4-ounce lead, to catch bait. Castthe snag into the bait school and allow it to sink to thebottom before beginning the retrieve. Once hooked,allow the bait to swim freely and apply light pressure tothe reel to prevent a backlash until a bite occurs.Another approach is to snag several bunker and place

them in a livewell. Since striped bass are often caughtand released after a quick photo this time of the year,anglers will usually snag bunker with the snag and trans-fer the bait to a circle hook rig. A good livewell that turnswater over quickly to remove blood and slime is a must.Although bunker are pretty hearty, snagged baits lastlonger than those caught in a cast net since the slimeis not removed from the bait.Locating bass often can be as easy as locating the

bunker. Often stripers will be found crushing the baitfishso don’t hesitate work the same areas. Other spots wherebass can often be found include edges found along thechannel as well as holes and high bottom. Note marks

along the bottom on the color scope but keep in mindbluefish could be mixed in with the bass as well. Mostanglers prefer a 7- or 7 1/2-foot medium to medium-heavy conventional rod matched to a light lever drag reelfilled with 50-pound test braid or monofilament.Although some anglers prefer a fish-finder rig witha sinker slide or egg sinker, others utilize a three-wayswivel to which they attach 36-inch, 50- or 80-poundtest fluorocarbon leader and a 9/0 or 10/0 GamakatsuOctopus Circle or Live Bait Circle hook with a snell.A large sinker snap is used for attaching weights thatrange from 6 to 10 ounces depending on current andwater depth.Bunker should be hooked through the lower jaw

and out through the nose to keep the mouth of the baitnearly closed so it doesn’t spin in the current and to keepthe hook from fouling in the bait. Drop the bait to thebottom and apply light thumb pressure on the reel.Whena bass picks up a bunker it usually swallows the bait headfirst. Continue with light thumb pressure, and if the fishis still taking line, set the hook and hang on!ml

TOURNAMENT TIPMany big fish are lost not long after the hookup, but steps can be taken to avoid this.Designate the angler, know who will clear lines and teasers and also who will leader andgaff or release the fish. Communication is critical, and the captain and angler need to relaywhat the fish is doing. Anglers also need to know how to battle a big fish. Classic mistakesinclude reeling while the fish is taking line or just sitting in the chair and turning the handleinstead of putting drag on the fish and allowing him to lift the angler up in the bucket harnessand out of the fighting chair while putting maximum pressure on him.When the fish is at theboat, back off the drag a bit while keeping light hand pressure on the spool in case the fishlunges away when the mate goes for the release or gaff shot. And always try to turn the boatdown sea when leadering a fish. Avoid being in a beam sea with the fish on the down sea side,because by the time you get a gaff in him, or if you get caught on a wave, you’ll run him over.

Y ou’ve done all your homework. You’vepicked the perfect weather window.

Now you are in awe as the dark blue ofthe Gulf Stream gives way to the crystalclear, shallow waters of the BahamasBanks. The feeling of accomplishmentjust can’t be described. You have finallyreached the Bahamas, so what’s next?The answer is almost as endless as theisland chain itself.Arriving on your own boat is by far

the best way to experience the Bahamas.Simply island hopping itself can take upan entire season. The Abacos, with theirNew England flavor, offer settlementssuch as Hopetown and Marsh Harbor,which have become boating communityhubs. If nightlife and excitement are yourpleasure, Grand Bahamas and Freeport,

with their large casinos and resorts, willoccupy all of your time and a lot of yourmoney. The calm, protected waters of theNorthern Bahamas are wonderful forsailing, snorkeling, diving and world-classangling. Fishing is a big part of theBahamas experience. Mahi-mahi, marlin,tuna, wahoo and mackerel are but afew of the possible catches of the day.Hooking a jack, snapper or bonefish inthe morning and cooking your catch onthe grill that night is the definition ofthe good life. Fish from your own vessel,hire a guide, or charter a boat.Fishing and island hopping are not

your only choices of what to do. Thediving and snorkeling in the Bahamasare some of the best in the world, andno place is better known for its dive sites

than the Exuma chain. Dive or snorkelon patch reefs, do deeper wall dives, ortry one of the well-known blue holes fora scuba experience you will never forget.Bring along a kayak or rent one fromone of the many vendors in the Exumasettlements for an up-close-and-personalview of the spectacular waters andcoastline. Preserves such as the ExumaLand & Sea Park have nature trails tohike and undisturbed underwater habi-tats to explore. The southern Bahamasoffers a real Caribbean experience, withdeserted islands and white sandy beachesthat rival any other in the region.If golfing is your passion, hit one

of the Bahamas’ three world-classgolf courses. The Abaco Club is aprivate facility with reciprocal privileges.Treasure Cay Golf Club, at TreasureCay, and Grand Isle Resort, on GreatExuma, round out the offerings. Allthree are challenging 18-hole courseswith stunning vistas that will at timesbe distracting to players, and all offeramenities that rival or surpass many golfclubs in the U.S.The lower Exumas are a seasonal

destination for many boaters. Duringthe winter months, the warm andbalmy trade winds make for some very

comfortable weather. Your options foradventure are almost endless. Feed theiguanas on Allans Cay, swim with thepigs at Pig Beach on Big Major Spot,snorkel Thunderball Grotto—of JamesBond fame—at Staniel Cay, or join inthe festivities that run almost nonstop inGeorgetown. Elizabeth Harbor, locatednear Georgetown, is home to the annualFamily Island Regatta Week, held duringthe last full weekend of April. The eventbrings together Bahamian boat buildersand sailors to compete during fivedays of sailing. More than 400 boatsat once have been known to visit theharbor during regatta week, still leavingample room for more. Daily volleyballgames occur at, you guessed it, VolleyballBeach, plus there are sing-alongs,pot lucks, boating seminars and localholiday festivities.The biggest problem with cruising

to the Bahamas is, when it’s time toleave, you may not have done everythingyou wanted to. It truly is better in theBahamas, and that’s probably whyboaters are drawn back there over andover and over again.ml

SuntexVenturesBuilding a company for success,onemarina at a time

By Joy McPeters

Dallas-based Suntex Ventures has ambitious plans to more than triple its portfolio of marinas. GivenChairman & CEO Johnny Powers’ passion, energy and access to capital, this seems very possible.Powers acquired his first marina in Texas in the mid-1990s, right out of law school. He and his

partner, Ron Rhoades, initially focused mostly on commercial and residential real estate, but theysaw a unique opportunity in marinas and began taking their acquisitions in thatdirection in 2000, originally naming the company Sun Resorts.Powers and Rhoades have built a strong team of principals, including Bryan

Redmond and Andy Chafoulias, to help them implement their strategy, andSuntex currently owns nine marinas valued at more than $150 million, with 120employees and properties in Texas, New Jersey, Florida, Iowa and St. Maarten.Powers believes that there has never been a better time for industry consolida-

tion. His long-term strategy is to expand Suntex with a four-pronged approach:concentrate on acquiring marinas on U.S. Army Corp of Engineering lakes;grow the Suntex brand along the eastern seaboard from Florida to New Jersey;expand Caribbean assets; and pursue partnerships, joint ventures and mergers with other existingmarina portfolios.Powers and Rhoades believe that the first step to success is to create an excellent workplace

environment for their employees. “Offering an opportunity for career growth while also creating anatmosphere of fun for our team leads to the delivery of superior customer service,” says Chris Petty,Suntex Vice President of Operations and a former General Manager at Sun Resorts.Suntex is also focused on proactively responding to customer feedback, which is why each

marina is undergoing upgrades of all bathroom facilities. “Nice bathrooms are always at the top of thecustomer survey,” says Powers, who adds that “our goal is to create an experience where boaters—whether they have a personal watercraft or a mega yacht—can enjoy their time at the marina.” ml

Powers and Rhoades believethat the first step to success is tocreate an excellent workplaceenvironment for their employees.

On our first day on the island,we had hiked over a scruffy hill downa crater-maze of a road to Surfer’sBeach. As the turquoise water curledunder Patrick’s surfboard, I struck upa conversation with a deeply tannedgroup of surfers.“You’ve got to go to Monica’s for

a hamburger after the beach,” saidGeorge, a Floridian who had beencoming to the island for the past30 years. “And a pineapple pie,” addeda woman, who rubbed wax on her surf-board as she spoke. “Hers are the bestin town.”The whole group nodded.“Yip!” agreed a yellow-haired islanddog, which was snuggled deep inthe sand.So, it was no surprise when later

that day all of us ended up onthe porch at Monica’s, ordering

cheeseburgers and trading weatherreports and swell conditions. As thelone non-surfer, I went inside to talkwith Monica.Steam from the griddle fogged her

glasses, but her smile was visible fromeverywhere in the dim room.“I’ve been told this is the best place

on the island for pineapple pie,” I said.I was hoping to charm a recipefrom her.Oh, child. I don’t know about that.”

Her laugh filled the small space. Sheturned her back to tend to the burgers.Another woman with tight

cornrows pulled back from her facehanded me a pie wrapped in waxedpaper from the case below the register.“You’re gonna like this.”Back onMonica’s porch, Patrick

and I devoured our cheeseburgers

at a rickety wooden picnic table andmoved on to the pie. I split open the 4-inch round like a book, and the sweetsmell of pineapple mixed with warmnotes of nutmeg rose up.This was likeno pie I had ever seen. In place of shortflaky crust was a light spongy, cake-likeshell. A thin layer of pineapple jam wassandwiched beneath top lattice crust.With one bite into the moist, not-too-sweet, not-too-pineapple-y treat,I knew it would not be my last.The next day, Ponytail Pete, the

local surfing guru at Rebecca’s SurfShop, whispered to me, “Two doorsdown, a lady namedMary sells pies atthe 7-Eleven. “Normally, I avoid anything sold as

foodstuff at 7-Eleven, but who amI to argue with local knowledge?Westopped by the shop and picked up oneof Mary’s pies, then bounced in theJeep along a one-way busted-up lime-stone path to Lighthouse Beach on theisland’s Atlantic side.Steven, a large island man selling

conch and barbecue by the side of theroad, had tipped us off to Lighthouse

food >

A Slice of EleutheraMy quest for the perfect pineapple pie was well worth the adventure

“It’s a long way to go for pie,” cautioned my husband Patrick,as we bumped along a stretch of Bahamian road fromSouth Eleuthera to North Eleuthera.

“Yes, but it’s worth it,” I answered with authority. It wouldbe our third pineapple pie of the week.

By Victoria Allman

Located on the southern tip of Eluethera, LighthousePoint is a pristine, undeveloped gem of the Bahamas.

Beach. “Slow Down: Fresh Conch andJerk Pit Ahead” the sign had read, andso we’d heeded it. “Hello, boss, andgood day to you, baby” Steven calledout to Patrick and me when we pulledover. Half-a-dozen pink shells lined hiswooden countertop, the meat stillwriggling inside. He munched on thehorn of a conch while he talked andchopped at the same time. “I ain’t beendown there in 12 years,” he said. “It’san hour away, you know.” He dunkeda green pepper into a bucket of waterwith halved limes floating on the top,then diced it and repeated the processwith a tomato. “But, it da prettiestbeach in all da Bahamas.” He baggedthe conch salad and sent us off witha smile.After hiking up and over sand

dunes and through native shrub, weemerged onto Lighthouse Beach tofind a never-ending azure vista. Eonsof water and wind erosion decoratedthe limestone cliffs.The sapphire oceanturned to teal and then aquamarinebefore lapping gently over rose-coloredsand. I lowered my sunglasses to makesure it was not a polarized-lens trick.Patrick fell asleep immediately,

a coconut for his pillow. All the blissfulelements were there: the sound of surf,the warm Bahamian sun, a slightbreeze to keep us cool, and the flies atbay. But my mind could not be lulledinto relaxing. I couldn’t stop thinkingabout the pineapple pie in the coolerbag beside me. Luckily, it wasn’t longbefore the grumbling of Patrick’s stom-ach woke him, and I unpacked ourlunch of conch salad and barbecuedchicken legs from Steven’s stand, plussome macaroni and cheese.Mary’s

pineapple pie was the perfect endingto our picnic. It had less of a moist,crumbly bottom than Monica’s andmaybe slightly more sticky pineapplereduction, but the effect was the same.It was delicious and disappearedin moments.The next morning we went diving

among gray angelfish, rainbowparrotfish and midnight blue tangs.I chased a mosaic wrasse arounda coral outcrop, trying to memorizeits exact shades of blue and yellow forkitchen paint when I got back home—Monticello Yellow and Blue Reef,according to the Ralph Lauren paintswatches. Patrick spotted a brown-and-tan trumpetfish trying to fool usinto thinking it was a piece of coral.As schools of yellow snapper floatedabove. Patrick reached out to fana sea cucumber that looked likeSnuffleupagus’ trunk.Afterward, exhausted and starving,

we headed “down north,” as the localssay, to Cocoplum’s wooden beachfrontdeck for a few cold Kaliks and someconch salad that Coco diced before oureyes. “You haven’t had nothin’ ‘til youtry my mother-in-law Helen’s pie atthe airport,” Coco assured me, afterhearing of my newfound love for thetaste of Eleuthera.Airport meals are another thing

I try to avoid, but I was not aboutto doubt Coco’s food wisdom aftertasting his version of conch salad. Hisrendition contained less onion thanprevious bowls I had tried, and heused a combination of goat and fingerpeppers for heat and flavor. “You canline up 10 guys and give them the sameingredients, and they all will makesalads that taste different,” Coco said.As the sun plummeted too quickly,

signaling the end of our holiday,I convinced Patrick to get back in theJeep and drive to the airport to pick upa pie from Helen.Although she laughed like a

schoolgirl when I asked for her recipe,I knew that her years of experiencemeant she put the flavors of the islandinto every single pie. Her pie was moistand lighter than the others we had

tried, baked in a rectangular sheetpan and cut in squares. Patrick wasright. It was a long way to go for pie,but a week on the island of Eleutheramade it all worthwhile.
