I was lucky enough to travel tomany amazing places this pastsummer. From visiting family inOregon, driving up the coast of Maine and hiking Glacier National Park in Montana — I saw people enjoying themselveson the water. Whether it was on

inner tubes, kayaks, dinghy’s, standup paddle boards (SUP), sailboats, or power boats — all of these remind me of the freedomyou feel when you are on the water. Being on the water can makeyou feel a million miles away from reality. I know I’m happiest on the water, hopping around the harbor on my dinghy and exploring coves in my inflatable kayak. It’s an amazing feeling of being untethered from shore. I see more and more SUP andkayaks wherever I go, and I hope this means that more peoplewill get into boating and experience this sense of freedom thatcomes with it.

We are excited to announce that Marinalife has moved to anew office location at Baltimore Marine Center at Harborview.We are now on a floating barge and get to see all of the action inthe Inner Harbor including sailing races, live music at Pier SixPavilion and the container ships at Domino Sugar. We have met

a variety of boaters at our new location — transient, long-termslip holders and live-aboards. We realized that many boaters arefamiliar with the Marinalife magazine but they don’t know aboutall of the other things Marinalife offers through the CruisingClub Membership — the thousands of discounts on dockage, fuel and services, the marina reservations and trip planning, notto mention the free boat show ticket and magazine subscriptions.Being a member of Marinalife’s Cruising Club also means youget the Marinalife magazine mailed to your door or dock. If youare not already a member, I hope you will consider joining — the membership is less than $4/per month. Learn more by visiting:marinalife.com/memberships (use promo code Letter15 for $5 off).

The Fall issue of Marinalife magazine offers a wide range ofarticles covering everything from chartering in the BVI’s to thetop southern boating destinations and cruising SouthwestFlorida. We hope to see you at one of the Fall boat shows —United States Powerboat Show in Annapolis (October 15-18);Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (November 5-9); St. Petersburg Power & Sailboat Show (December 3-6).

PART OF THE ADVENTUREof cruising is the excitement of what is just

over the horizon or around the next bend, and there is no better place

to experience this than the greater Fort Myers area of Florida’s Gulf

Coast. The waters consist of Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, and the

San Carlos Bay, all of which are fed by three rivers: the Peace, the Myakka and

the Caloosahatchee. Included in the weekend cruise is the Ten Thousand Island

area of the Everglades National Forest. Using Fort Myers as a base, whether it’s

aboard your own boat or on one of the many boats available for charter in the

area, there are numerous choices for a weekend adventure. The many marina

options in Fort Myers include Fort Myers Yacht Basin (239-321-7080), Pink Shell

Beach Resort & Marina (855-482-1947), Legacy Harbour Marina (239-461-0775)

and Snook Bight Marina (239-765-4371). Below are two weekend options,

one heading north from Fort Myers and the other traveling south.

Thereis an eclectic mix of restaurants, from the colorful Bubble Room to the refinedSouth Seas Island Resort & Marina. Accommodations for a night off the boat

abound, with several small inns and bed &breakfasts at your disposal. All the GulfCoast islands are known for great shelling,but Captiva is one of the best. The beachesare a shell collectors dream, with a seeminglynew supply washed up at every high tide.At just a little over four miles long and a half mile wide, Captiva is great for exploring by bike or golf cart. And with

Pine Island Sound to the east and theGulf of Mexico to the west, Captiva is also a sport fisherman’s paradise.

A 15-nautical mile run north from Marco Island brings you to Naples, the shoppingcapital of southwest Florida. Naples will rival almost any city in the world for high-endshopping, yet in spite of this it is not overly pretentious. With quiet tree-lined streets,Naples has the feel of a real community. There’s an excellent farmers market on Saturday mornings that rivals the best you’ll find anywhere. All the east-west streets end in public access to the beach, where locals and visitors gather every evening to watch the sunset over the gulf. Dockage is available at Naples Bay Resort & Marina(239-530-5134), accommodating vessels up to 60 feet.

THREE MILES NORTH of theVerrazano Narrows Bridge, my wifeTammy and I didn’t expect the lump inour throats as the Manhattan skyline laybefore us. One World Trade Center wasstanding at 1776 feet tall - the same yearthe Declaration of Independence wassigned. Approaching New York from thewater is impressive in itself, but thisparticular Sunday in June was beautifullyclear with a deep blue sky and we couldn’thelp but think of that horrific day onSeptember 11th.

Sunday afternoon in New York Harboris not for the inattentive boat operator, somy focus was quickly diverted to tug andbarge traffic, ferries, every conceivablerecreational craft along with a swimmingcompetition too! It was good practice tohave 2 VHF radios available on our Monk36 trawler, Brighter Days. One tuned intoChannel 16 (hailing and distress) and the other Channel 13 (ship to ship).Additionally, New York Harbor has aVessel Traffic Service (VTS) operated bythe USCG and, if your vessel is 65 feet or

more in length, you should familiarizeyourself with its procedures.

Leaving the East River with Governor’sIsland on our starboard hand and thebeautiful Statue of Liberty and EllisIsland to port, we made our way to themouth of the Hudson River at the Battery.The river was named for EnglishmanHenry Hudson who, while working forthe Dutch East India Company, exploredthe river up to what is now Albany, NewYork aboard the carrack, Halve Maen,pronounced “Half Moon.”

Our immediate destination wasLiberty Landing Marina in Jersey City,New Jersey. It is ideally situated across the river from Manhattan and gives a 15% off transientdockage discount toMarinalife members.The Liberty LandingFerry is adjacent to themarina, making asojourn into Manhattancomfortable andconvenient. We took

advantage of this and visited the NationalSeptember 11 Memorial & Museum,which was an easy walk from the ferrylanding in Manhattan.

One could spend days, if not weeks in this location but our plan was to movenorth on this historic river. After two days we departed on a fair tide bound forHaverstraw Bay, 32 nautical miles away.The Hudson River is tidal all the way toTroy (134 nautical miles from the Battery)where the range of tide is 4.7 feet at itsgreatest. South of the George WashingtonBridge, maximum flood current averages1.6 knots and ebb slightly more at 2.2knots. If possible, it’s a good idea to time your movement with the current.

Although industrial, this lower part ofthe Hudson was fascinating to see. Largebuildings, car traffic on the adjacentroadways, trains, old piers and more ferriesmade us appreciate our unhurried paceamidst the hustle and bustle. Leaving theGeorge Washington Bridge astern, theshoreline began to take on a more ruralappearance, at least when compared to the big city behind us. On the westernshore the Palisades stood grey and silent.These escarpments rise nearly 500 feet inplaces along the river’s banks. Further still,we passed under the Tappan Zee Bridge,the longest bridge in the State of

New York at 4.881 miles.After rounding Croton Point, we

docked at Half Moon Bay Marina inCroton-on-Hudson. Steve, thedockmaster, kindly gave us a lift to a carrental agency where we procured a vehiclefor three days. This enabled us to visit theVanderbilt and Roosevelt estates, UnitedStates Military Academy at West Pointand The Culinary Institute of America,where my wife treated me to a deliciousbirthday lunch.

Haverstraw Bay afforded us spectacularsunsets. Indeed, the bay offers a greatanchorage for those wishing to do so, butit is exposed to wind from the west andnorthwest. Exercisecaution if wind isforecasted from thatdirection. Duringsummer months, thatparticular wind is oftengenerated bythunderstorms.

Also, in mid-June,Clearwater’s GreatHudson River Revivalwas held at Croton PointPark. This annual two-day event features many

well-known performers including DavidCrosby, Citizen Cope, Guster and AniDiFranco. Proceeds are used to furtherenvironmental causes on the river, whichhas undergone a major clean up in the past decade.

Leaving Haverstraw Bay, we wereexcited about cruising through World’sEnd, the 13 mile bend between WestPoint and Constitution Island. We caughta glimpse of this extraordinary section ofthe river when we visited the militaryacademy and couldn’t wait to see it fromthe water. We weren’t disappointed. As theriver narrows the current increases as doesthe depth, which approached 200 feet in

places. Majestically, theland rises high above the river. A modernmerchant ship would bedwarfed transiting thisarea. Looking to ourport side, Storm KingMountain, stands at1340 feet along the river. In 1778, Americansoldiers assembled achain across the riverleading from West Point to ConstitutionIsland to impede Britishshipping on this strategicwaterway.

We continued northpast Newburgh to

Shadows Marina in Poughkeepsie, halfwayto Troy, our intended turnaround point.Poughkeepsie’s close proximity to HydePark makes it an ideal stopover for landexcursions. The current ran swiftlythrough the marina docks requiringheightened attentiveness when atmaximum current.

The following day our move south wasfoiled by the remnants of Tropical StormBill, which was headed into the HudsonRiver Valley. Seeking better shelter, wecruised another 12 miles north toRondout Creek and found a secure berthat Rondout Yacht Basin just south ofKingston. Heavy rain and our need toreturn to Baltimore prevented us fromexploring the town of Kingston, whichwas disappointing.

Despite frequent marginal weather,unusual for June, we had a wonderful time cruising the Hudson. There is muchto see and do. For American history buffs,it is a worthy destination. For those whohave the time, there are many places toexplore on the Upper Hudson, Erie Canal,Lake Champlain and beyond. The sirencall of those undoubtedly beautiful upperreaches eluded us this time. However, in the words of a well-known cyborg,“We’ll be back.” ml

One World Trade Center was completed in October of 2014 and is thetallest structure in New York City and the 4th tallest in the world.

Although private vessels areprohibited from docking onLiberty Island and Ellis Island,one ferry ticket providestransportation to both islands.

How did you get into the boating

industry?

Growing up in Western Pennsylvania,I always had a love for the outdoors,fishing and hunting. I had the opportunityto move to Southwest Florida and I knewI wanted to get my captain’s license andwork on or around the water. I started as a marina attendant at South Seas nine and a half years ago.

What’s your favorite thing about

living in Florida?

Being able to boat and fish year round isamazing! Having one of the best fisheries(Pine Island Sound) in the state in ourbackyard is not bad either.

What’s your favorite thing about

working at South Seas?

Simple, our guests, whether it be a firsttime visitor or one of our frequent floaters.South Seas has amazing support from

local boaters, with individuals who comeevery weekend, to boat clubs who comethree to four times a year. The boaters are always great, enthusiastic and excitedto be at South Seas! It’s an amazing placeto call work.

What’s your favorite day of the year?

Thanksgiving. We always have a nice mealwith family and friends, and the fellowshipis always a good time. Plus, who doesn’tlike Thanksgiving dinner?

Do you think people should eat the

fish they catch, or let them go?

I don’t see anything wrong with keeping it, as long as people follow the state’sregulation for season and size and baglimits. I enjoy keeping a few fish a yearand cooking them up with my family for a nice fish dinner. We catch and releasemany of the fish, and we enjoy the timeand sportsmanship with other boaters.

What’s the last thing you bought?

Flowers for my wife Beth, just because.

What song best describes your

work ethic?

“Don’t Worry Be Happy,” byBobby McFerrin.

What’s your favorite thing to do in

the water?

Fishing. I love to fish the Pine IslandSound for redfish, snook and spotted seatrout. Getting up early and being on thewater before the sun rises and catching the morning bite is always a perfect way to start the day.

What’s your favorite decade of music?

60’s. There are so many great songs, bandsand artists like Bob Dylan, Otis Redding,Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, The Who,The Doors, Janis Joplin, The GratefulDead… just to name a few.

What’s your pet peeve?

Running out of Heinz 57 ketchup!

You are a new addition to the crayon

box, what color would you be

and why?

I would want to be a blue crayon. Everytime my daughter has a blue ice pop, she’llsay, “daddy, you know why I picked a blueice pop?” and I’ll say, “why?” she replies,“Because it’s your favorite color!”

If we came to your house for dinner,

what would you prepare for us?

Surf & turf. We’d have fresh blackenedredfish and tri-tip on the grill, addingsome grilled corn on the cob, onions, andasparagus to finish off the plate.

If you could go anywhere in the

world, all expenses paid, where

would you go?

Lithuania, to see where my grandmothergrew up and spent her childhood. ml

SINCE IT OPENED IN THE 1950s,the Faro Blanco Lighthouse has been aniconic landmark for boaters traveling toMarathon in the Florida Keys. In January2015, the site was relaunched as FaroBlanco Resort & Yacht Club, completewith a state-of-the-art marina, onsiteHyatt Place hotel, exceptional restaurant,and many other amenities for the visitingboater. “When you build a new marinafrom scratch, it’s just new,” says AlainGiudice, the General Manager. “FaroBlanco is different because it already had ahistory and a personality that we arethrilled to carry on.”

The Faro Blanco Resort & Yacht Cluboffers 74-slips at its two marina basins,east and west. The west basin has slips forvessels from 50 to 120 feet, while the east

basin accommodates vessels from 35 to 60 feet. The marina also featurespump-out from the dock, Valvtect fuel,shower and restroom facilities, a privatecaptains lounge, 24-hour security,concierge services, WiFi, a fitness centerand a marina swimming pool.

Marina guests have access to WakezoneWatersports, which is stocked with jet skis,kayaks, paddleboards and boat rentals.Fishing charters can easily be arranged for inshore, offshore, reef and wreck,backcountry and tarpon fishing excursions.The ships store even carries games likeJenga, cornhole and croquet. And if youhappen to be staying on the last Wednesdayof a month, don’t miss the marina’s YappyHour, a monthly fundraising event thatbenefits Safe Harbor Animal Rescue of

the Keys (SHARK).Lighthouse Grill, the onsite

restaurant, serves a deliciousarray of seafood dishes for bothlunch and dinner. Dine indoors or outside, where the VerandaBar has picturesque views overthe gulf. And if you don’t feellike leaving your boat, the

resort offers a dockside service of‘docktails.’

HAWKS CAY MARINAThe Dawn Of A New Era.


32 marinalife.com

The West indies is the favoritecruising ground for boaters fromaround the world. Many couples

dream of selling everything they own,buying a sailboat and cruising thecaribbean. And those of us who havesailed this island chain know just howunique that paradise is. Much of what weimagine the caribbean to be like has beenshaped by movies that we grew up with.hollywood has been America’s dream factory for the past hundred years and its portrayal of the caribbean idyll hascolored our mind’s eye.

During the 1930s and 1940s, theswashbuckler movies of the hollywoodstudio era gave us our first vision of theWest indies. Treasure Island (1934) andThe Black Swan (1942) were filled with pirates and corsairs. But in those days,films were shot primarily in the studio or on the back lot with the set designerdressing up a make believe island setting.At best for realism, a california beach wouldbecome the background for a sword fight, as Laguna Beach did for Errol Flynn andBasil rathbone in Captain Blood (1935).

it was not until after World War ii,that hollywood producers and directorsleft the studios to shoot their films on location giving us a taste of what thecaribbean really looked liked. Fire DownBelow (1957) was shot in trinidad andtobago and The Old Man and the Sea(1958) was partially filmed in cuba.

starting in the 1960s, the caribbeanbecame a very popular setting for filmsshot on location. Visiting the sites in theWest indies where all or parts of movieswere filmed is a great way to develop acruising itinerary for your next sail downisland. try these movies for starters:

Island in the Sun (1957) – This was a very controversial film at the time it was released since the story revolves around interracial romances and race relations. it was produced by Darryl F. Zanuck,

entirely on location in Barbados andgrenada. The all-star ensemble cast included harry Belafonte, James Mason,Joan Fontaine, Joan collins and Dorothy Dandridge.

HOLLYWOODand the Caribbean

BY CAPT. JEFF WERNER

cruising through history >

Island in the Sun premiered in June of 1958 and earned an estimated $5,550,000worldwide — a major success.


Dr. No (1962) – Sean Connery portrays007 in the first James Bond film evermade, with Ursula Andress as HoneyRyder, the model for all future “Bondgirls”. This film established all the well-known styles of the James Bond series including an elaborate main title sequencefollowed by the introduction of Mr. Bondthrough a view down the barrel of a gun.This movie also launched the secret agentgenre for both film and television. Set inJamaica, much of the film was shot inOracabessa, a small town east of OchoRios, and Kingston. But the most iconicscene was filmed at Laughing WatersBeach, near Dunn’s River Falls. That is

where Honey Ryder emerged from thesurf in a white bikini.

Dr. Dolittle (1967) – Rex Harrison has thelead role in this musical as a physician whobelieves he can talk to animals. The otherstars, not including all the animals, areSamantha Eggar and Anthony Newley.The tropical island scenes were filmed atMarigot Bay, St. Lucia. A very kitschygiant pink snail was built for the finalscene shot in the bay, and left there as amemento of the production but lookedquite out of place as the years went by.

Water (1985) – This comedy, starringMichael Caine and Valerie Perrine was abox office flop. Ex-Beatle, George Harrison,was the movie’s producer and Harrison,Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr perform on the soundtrack. The major redeemingvalue of this film is the spectacular sceneryin and around the town of Soufriere, St. Lucia as it looked 40 years ago.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994) – Only the final beach scene of this criticallyacclaimed movie was filmed in theCaribbean. After 40 years in prison, Red (Morgan Freeman) searches for andfinds Andy (Tim Robbins) in Zihuatanejo,Mexico. In the plot line, Andy had escaped Shawshank Penitentiary and settled in Zihuatanejo. But St. Croix,USVI was used as a stand in for Mexico;that beach scene was shot at Sandy PointNational Wildlife Refuge, just south ofFrederiksted.

Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997) – While this film won the award for “Worst Re-Make or Sequel”, the final scene, in which a cruise ship crashes into the island of Saint Martin, set the record for the most expensive and largest stuntever filmed. It was shot at Marigot, thewaterside capital of French St. Martin. Sixmonth’s was needed to build an additionto the town that was used for the filming,

The world premier of Dr. No was at the LondonPavilion in Piccadilly Circus on October 5, 1962.Both Sean Connery and creator Ian Fleming attended.

Doctor Dolittle had major setbacks during production. From the poorly chosen shooting locations to thelarge number of animals needs - which led to exceeding the original budget of $6 million, three times.

DeStINatIoN > BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA

Beaufort, as in “beautiful,” is just as its name is pronounced. The Low Country, Sea Islands of South Carolina hold a rich colorful part of our nation's past, and Beaufortis a living museum full of that history. Beaufort was founded in 1711 and is the secondoldest city in South Carolina, the oldest being Charleston. It’s location on the Beaufortriver, a deep navigable tributary of Port royal Sound, has made it a valuable deep waterport for over 300 years.

Beaufort had the mixed blessing of, only a few months into the Civil War, being oneof the first cities in the south to be occupied by union troops. The fortunate part of thatoccupation is that many of the town’s houses were saved due to their value as offices andbarracks for senior military staff and troops during the war. While we can be sure thelocal residents didn’t view that as a positive event at the time, today’s residents have madethe best of it by restoring most of those historic houses into lovely homes. Due to this careful preservation, 300 acres of the city have been designated as a National Historic Landmark. This wonderful collection of antebellum architecture has drawn theattention of more than one Hollywood director, with such movies as The Great Santini, The Big Chill, The Prince of Tides, Forrest Gump and G. I. Jane having been shot on location.

Besides the many tourists that contribute to the local economy, Beaufort has a stableeconomy supported by the numerous military installations around the area, including thefamed Marine Corp Base of Parris Island. residents and tourists alike have been drawnto Beaufort for many reasons, some of which lie in the natural beauty of its location. Thearea has a wide variety of activities for the outdoor enthusiast, including; cycling, birdwatching, fishing, kayaking, scuba diving and much more. But Beaufort is not just for theoutdoorsman, it is also full of history, art and entertainment. It’s easy to see why Beauforthas won national awards by several leading magazines like Southern Living, Field andStream and National Geographic Adventure.

Beaufort welcomes the visiting boaterwith a beautifully restored waterfront at theHenry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. Thepark is not only a great place to relax andtake in the peaceful view of the river andsurrounding islands but is used throughoutthe year for several cultural festivals. Somefestivals this fall include the BeaufortShrimp festival (oct. 2-3), fall Pickin’ bythe river ( oct. 17), and fall festival ofHouses & Gardens (oct. 23-25). ml

But, yet again, a little box pops up:“Unable to connect to the internet”.

sound familiar? Well, quite often it’snot the marina’s Wi-Fi that’s the issue.The culprit may be the device, with whichyou are trying to connect. Without makingthe proper adjustments, apple’s mobiledevices are notoriously bad at finding Wi-Fi. They prefer to connect to your cell carrier’s signal. There is even a term for this dilemma: Wi-Fried.

Unfortunately, when set for Wi-Fi onlyapple’s new iOs8.X is a bit buggy. add amarina’s unique environment, and all theradio frequency interference that comeswith it, and connectivity will almost always be a problem.

Being a boater and the owner/operatorof a marina Wi-Fi company, i can relate.so i’ve asked the pros on our support deskto put together a list of tips and tricks tohelp make connection easier and get youonline more quickly.

It’s in the Settings

First, check to see if your device is runningthe latest iOs from apple. install an update will usually help: Go to settings >General > software Update.

1. Then, for a Wi-Fi only connection, turn off cellular data by going to settings> cellular and swiping cellular Data to“Off.” We always recommend doing thisbecause marinas are usually on the outsideedge of normal cellular coverage. turningoff cellular data will ensure you are gettingnothing but the faster Wi-Fi connection,and it will save your monthly allotted celldata allowance. When you’re back in thecity, reverse these settings.

2. if you are having problems connectingto a Wi-Fi signal, can’t seem to enter theWi-Fi password, or can’t locate the loginpage, try resetting your network settings— being careful to only choose Reset NetworkSettings. This will not delete any otheriphone/ipad data or settings. Go to settings > General > Reset > Reset networksettings and your device will reboot.

3. if you are still having trouble, disconnectfrom the Wi-Fi signal and reconnect. Go to settings > Wi-Fi > click on namewith checkmark > Forget This network >Forget > Wi-Fi and now select the Wi-Fisignal. if the login page does not open automatically after connecting, open abrowser and enter any website. The loginpage should then appear.

Marina Wi-Fi and your Apple Device— TIPS AND TRICKS —

BY BOB TAYLOR

captain’s tips >

Okay, imagine this: You’ve just pulled into a marina after a long day on the water, and because the last marina’s Wi-Fi was

nonexistent, you have emails that have been waiting two days

to send. Now you’re tied up and powered up, you reach for that

well-deserved refreshing beverage and your iPad, you sit back,

and attempt to log on to the marinas Wi-Fi.

4. Choose a 5G Wi-Fi signal whenever possible. This will provide optimal speeds while avoiding much of the interferencethat plagues traditional Wi-Fi signals. When you are selectingthe network, look for one with 5G in the name. You may needto wait for the list to refresh, 5G signals appear after traditionalWi-Fi signals.

5. We strongly recommend that boaters use an external antenna and router combination, or a router with an antenna,on their vessel. This will make your marina Wi-Fi connectionfaster and simpler. While aboard, have only one login for allyour computers, phones, and tablets.

If you have followed these steps and you are still unable to connect, don’t give up. Find out if the marina’s Wi-Fi provideroffers a support phone number. If they don’t, give onSpot Wi-Fi’ssupport desk a call at 954-990-0192. As a courtesy, if you areat a marina, we’ll be happy to help you, even if it’s not one ofour Wi-Fi hotspots — if it’s not one of our hotspots, we can’t guarantee a successful connection, but we’ll give it our best shot.

The Cloud

If you are in the Bahamas or anywherethat only offers a pay-for-data Wi-Fi service, be sure to turn off all cloud-basedapps and settings. If you don’t, these appswill spend that allotment of data you justpaid for posthaste. Facebook, iCloud, andiPhoto apps are huge data users.

1. To turn off iCloud, go to Settings >iCloud > iCloud Drive > swipe to off.

2. To turn off Photo Sharing, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos > swipeiCloud Photo Library to off, swipe My Photo Stream to off.

3. To turn off Individual apps in iCloud,go to Settings > iCloud > then scroll downand swipe iCloud Apps to off.

4. To turn off Background App Refresh,go to Settings > General > BackgroundApp Refresh > and swipe to off all at once or individually.

Additionally, close any extra browsertabs when you’re not using them so pagesdon’t refresh automatically. If the signal isweak, move around on your boat to find anunobstructed place. To improve speed andperformance, hold up small devices likeiPhones and iPads to make the most ofthe antenna, instead of using them flat ona table. When viewing the list of Wi-Fisignals, let the list refresh a couple of timesto view all the signals.

Florida’s boating pleasures come in twodistinct varieties: east coast and westcoast. Each has a loyal following ready

to tell you why theirs is the best. The Keysmay be the common link for boaters fromeach area occasionally heading south for an extended cruise. But there is a lessfrequently used link joining these twocoasts that my wife Dori and i had thepleasure of experiencing last winter: theOkeechobee waterway. we’re still amazedby the replies of others when we tell themof our crossing. Many say they’ve oftenconsidered doing it but thought it was tooshallow for cruising, and a surprisingnumber say they didn’t even know itexisted. we ourselves thought it would betoo difficult and shallow for our five-footdraft, but we learned from a fellow boaterin Key west that the Army corp of

FALL 2015 43

Engineers posts daily (offshoreblue.com)about the Okeechobee’s current depth,making it possible to know for certain ifit’s safe to cross.

The waterway was created by two man-made canals connecting the head waters of the Caloosahatchee River fromthe west and the St. Lucie River from the east to Lake Okeechobee. It is 134.3 nautical miles from the intersectionwith the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) at St. Lucie on the east coast to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GICW) on the west coast. Three locks raise vessels from sea level on the gulf side to LakeOkeechobee, and two locks lower craftsback down to sea level on the AtlanticOcean side. The specific elevation changein the locks will vary with the depth of the lake.

The locks are not difficult if you are

prepared for them. The lock walls are concrete, so having enough durable fendersto protect your boat is important. The lock tenders will tell you on which side ofthe lock they want you to tie. When youare rising in a lock, the lock tenders willlower fore and aft lines to you. You willtake a wrap or two around cleats on theboat and take up the slack as the boatrises. If possible, it’s best not to be the firstboat in, as that boat takes the turbulenceof the water coming through the openingin the forward lock gate. Conversely, whenyou are in a lock being lowered, you takeone or two wraps with the line to a cleatand allow it to play out as the boat isdropping. Boaters should wear a sturdypair of gloves with which to handle the lines.

A fast boat can make it across the waterway in a single day, whereas sailboats

and trawlers typically take two days.While the Okeechobee Waterway was intended to be just a passage across thestate, it goes through an interesting part of Florida that is rich in history. For thosewho can take the time, you will passthrough four communities that are wortha visit: Port Labelle, Moore Haven,Clewiston and Indiantown. These townsand villages give you a real sense of “old Florida,” where hunting, trapping andfishing are still an important way of life.Wilderness outfitters will gladly show youthe beauty of this remote area by planninga fishing or hunting expedition for you.You can also learn about Florida’s first citizens at the Indian burial grounds and museums located nearby — the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Seminole Indian Museumnear Clewiston is particularly interesting.And lastly, for the thrill seekers aboard,there are airparks along the way where youcan learn to skydive and hang glide.

Florida is a fascinatingly diverse state,heavily influenced by the cultures andways of all its transplanted citizens andvisitors. With most of the developmentand tourism occurring along the coasts,central Florida still has much of its original culture and character intact. The waterway will make for easy passagefrom one coast to the other, but it alsoprovides for interesting stops along theway. Because remember, boating is as much about the journey as the destination. Don’t miss the opportunity to take a wonderful trip across the Okeechobee Waterway. ml

Catalina. Just the name conjures up the Golden Age of Hollywood during the1930s. Movie moguls, famous actors, actresses and directors were all frequentvisitors to Catalina Island aboard their yachts or at the Hotel St. Catherine.

Cecil B. DeMille, Charlie Chaplin, Joan Crawford, Betty Grable, Jimmy Cagney, JohnnyWeissmuller and Irving Thalberg lead the roster of stars and celebrities whose comingsand goings were grist for the gossip columns of the day.

It was William Wrigley, Jr., whose wealth came from his family's chewing gum fortune,who spent millions during the 1920s to develop Catalina Island as a tourist destination.Wrigley was also the principal owner of the Chicago Cubs baseball team, and the Cubsused the island for their spring training for 30 years, starting in 1921.

Today, standing on the end of the Santa Monica Pier on a clear day, Santa CatalinaIsland rises 30 nautical miles to the south across San Pedro Channel. It is easy to spot,even from that distance, because the tallest point on the island is a mountain 2,097 feet high.

Throughout the year, Catalina Island hosts a variety of special events, such as festivals,concerts, parades and workshops for all ages and interests. No matter when you visit,there will be no shortage of new experiences to be discovered.

ORIENTALNorth Carolina

Visitors to this quaint village like to spend time watching the water, wherethere’s often a beautiful craft to admire,while the fall breezes sweep through the marsh grasses. The river that flows by these shores is the Neuse River, which dissolves into the Pamlico Sound to the north. From Oriental, you canwatch recreational and commercial vessels as they navigate the IntracoastalWaterway, which runs down the middle of the Neuse. Then, go for a bike ridethrough town (the terrain is flat), and don’t forget to bring along binoculars, asOriental is a favorite destination for birders. If you’re tying up for the night,head to River Dunes (252-249-4908).Rated one of the top 25 marinas in the North America, it offers floating docks within a protected 28-acre inlandbasin harbor.

Located along the banks of the Matanzas River, St. Augustine, with its narrow cobblestone streets, wasfounded in 1565 by Spanish explorers (see the coquina bastions of a Spanish fortthat guards the bay). A visit here shouldinclude an exploration of the shops andeateries around the Historic District. St. Augustine also is the site of the fabledFountain of Youth, which is worth a visit,as the once-dated attraction has been restored in recent years and even features a boatyard with a 16th-century-style craft.

Palm Beach istouted as one of America’s first luxury resort destinations, and it maintains thatstatus today. There are the signatureMediterranean-revival mansions and upscale shops that boast a beautiful clientele. While there’s plenty to do inPalm Beach (think dining, shopping, golfing and nightlife), if you’re up for exploring beyond the borders of town, you can head south to Delray Beach —another classic town in the Old Floridatradition — or north to the barrier islandsof the Treasure Coast. For an overnightstay, tie up at Palm Harbor Marina (561-655-4757) where the crowd is international and the facilities top-notch orat Old Port Cove Marina (561-626-1760),with an onsite restaurant, shower and laundry facilities, gym and lounge.

ABACO ISLANDS Bahamas

The calm and protected waters of theAbaco Islands are beautiful and definethis chain of islands as the sailing capital of the Bahamas. Yet the waters are not just for cruising. Reefs make for excellent snorkeling, diving and fishing. And then there are thebeaches. From island-long stretches to strips as short as your boat, there’s a beach suited to everyone’s liking.There are many luxury services in the islands too, from five-star accommodations to fine dining andpretty shops. There’s island-style fun,too, including great beach parties. Our favorite being the Sunday pigroast at Nippers on Great Guana Cay.Full-service marinas include HopeTown Inn & Marina (242-366-0003),Abaco Beach Resort at Boat Harbour(242-367-2158) and Treasure CayBeach Marina & Golf Resort (242-365-8250).

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Among the most precious assets ofthis island, bathed by the AtlanticOcean to the north and the CaribbeanSea to the south, are 1,000 miles ofbeaches. But this is a land of contraststoo, with mountain landscapes, brownrivers and rain forests. Accommodationsoffer a broad range, from surfers’ camps,to boutique hotels and megaresorts. The vibrant lifestyle of this Latin-Caribbean country where Spanish is the national language makes theDominican Republic a unique culturalexperience. Also notable is the factthat a stay here can represent a verygood bargain, even in a place like Casade Campo, one of the world’s largestresorts and top golfing destinations,which offers Marina Casa de Campo(855-877-3643). Cruising yachtsmenalso like Ocean World (809-970-3373)in Puerto Plata.

BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS

The British Virgin Islands are amongthe top boating destinations in theworld, yet those who have cruisedthese waters more than once say a return trip isn’t complete without stops at two of the most beloved islands: Virgin Gorda and Anegada.Lovely Virgin Gorda runs at a pace soslow that goats still wander across theroads in places like North Sound.There are also great sites like the Copper Mine Point (for history), Virgin Gorda Peak (for hiking) andthe incredible Baths (you’ll flood yourInstagram feed with photos of this natural wonder). Anegada is fourteenmiles north, a flat coral-and-limestoneatoll just nine miles long and two mileswide. Though the reefs are a sailor’snightmare, they are gold for snorkelers,especially in the waters around LoblollyBay on the north shore. There are moor-ings at most islands in the BVI; if you’rehankering for a marina stay, try the Bitter End Yacht Club (284-494-2746)on Virgin Gorda or Scrub Island Resort,Spa and Marina (284-440-3440).

weigh in on the subject, but there’s one thing we know for sure: you’re missing out on

a spectacular experience if you haven’t taken a boat along on your annual trek to

the trees. you’ll leave the crowds behind and be treated to the spectacle of the vibrant

colors reflecting off the water. Add to that the tranquility of a quiet, off-season lake and

comfortable temperatures, and you’ve got a getaway you won’t soon forget. Here’s our

guide to some of the top fall foliage boating destinations across the country.

Deciduous DelightsCruising the top fall foliage destinations

provides a perspective you can’t find on landBy Steve RoSenBeRg


FALL 2015 55

ASSATEAGUE ISLANDNATIONAL SEASHOREVIRGINIA & MARYLAND

This natural wonder is a sight to beholdany time of the year, but when the leavesbegin to change, boaters are able to enjoyit in an entirely different way. Widelyconsidered to be one of the best beacheson the East Coast, Assateague offers 37 miles of coastline between Virginia’sChincoteague Island and Maryland’sfamed Ocean City. Home to hundreds of wild ponies, an incredible number ofbirds and marine life such as dolphins, the island is best explored by boat. And,during the fall, the lighter crowds makeleaf-watching a real pleasure.

Where to dock: Sunset Marina (410-213-9600) or White Marlin Marina (410-289-6470), in Ocean City.

HUDSON RIVER VALLEYNEW YORK

If you only think of the Hudson River as something that comes between theurban sprawl of New York City and New Jersey, try experiencing it the wayHenry Hudson did back in the early17th century — by boat. Traveling north past Yonkers, Sleepy Hollow and onward toward the United States MilitaryAcademy at West Point, it doesn’t takelong to get into some of the most beauti-ful fall scenery you’ll find anywhere inthe country. And the further up you go,the more remote and breathtaking it gets. If you make it all the way to Saugerties,plan on staying a couple of days.

Where to dock: Tarrytown Marina (914-631-1300) near the Tappan Zee Bridge or Donovan’s Shady Harbor Marina just south of Albany(518-756-8001).

LAKE CHAMPLAINNEW YORK & VERMONT

This famous freshwater lake is consideredby many enthusiasts to be the mecca ofAmerican fall foliage. Lake Champlain is the sixth largest lake in the country —bordered by the Adirondacks on theNew York side and the Green Mountainson the Vermont side — so there’s noshortage of grandeur no matter whereyou launch. It’s also home to historiclighthouses, great fishing and humblevillages hugging the shoreline. The localtree varieties change color later here,generally mid-to-late October, so plan accordingly.

Where to dock: Whitehall Marina (518-499-9700), Champlain Boatworks(518-561-2134) or Snug Harbor Marina(518-585-2628).

Cruising up the Hudson River during the fall season offersbreathtaking views of the George Washington Bridge, the

Cloisters, the Palisades and the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Chartering a Powercat inthe BVIs puts a new spinon a favorite destination

BY JOY MCPETERS

FALL 2015 59

MARCH 7, 2015

TORTOLA, BVI

We arrived at Hodges Creek Marina, the MarineMax Charterbase, an easy 15 minutes from Tortola’s Beef Island Airport, toboard our MarineMax 480 Powercat. This was our first experiencechartering a powerboat — we’d always chartered sailboats in thepast. Our plan was to stay on the powercat that night and get anearly start the next morning. Ross, our captain and an old friend,joined us, as did our cook. While the boat was being provisionedwe found our way to the bar at Hodges Creek for our first ofmany rum drinks, then it was on to dinner at Red Rocks, a fewmiles from the marina, for a great meal and lots of discussionabout the week ahead. When we got back to the docks, the scenewas hopping. It seemed as if every boat was being chartered andthere was an exciting energy in the air.

MARCH 8, 2015

COOPER ISLAND

The next morning we woke early to get a good start. Our wholegroup had finally assembled: 11 of us — nine adults and two kids,ages seven and eight — and we’d be spread across two boats alongwith assorted water toys and mounds of provisions from RiteWay and Good Moon Farm. Our first stop, Cooper Island, wasonly four miles away, and at nine knots it took us only about 45minutes to get there. We grabbed a mooring ball (Cooper onlyhas about 30, and anchoring can be tricky because of the seagrass) and jumped off the boat into the crystal blue water. Thisbecame our ritual every morning — a plunge into the sea, evenbefore coffee. What a great way to start the day.

That night we decided to eat dinner on board, but we headedto Cooper Island Beach Club’s new rum bar for happy hour andthe perfect sunset, with the bar’s signature Yellow Bird cocktails(three kinds of local rums, fresh juices and triple sec) firmly inhand. After a few of those, it seemed like a good idea to checkout the boutique across from the bar. We did some damage ontheir excellent clothing selections for adults and kids. Then weheaded back to our boats for a feast of fish, rice and salad.

MARCH 9, 2015

SAVANNAH BAY ON VIRGIN GORDA

The next morning, two of us opted for a little exercise and swam from the boat to shore to score some coffee at Cooper Island Beach Club. Next, it was just a short cruise to the amazing collection of massive boulders known as the Baths on Virgin Gorda. Since the area around the Baths can be busy, we anchored off Valley Trunk Bay and dinghied over to the Baths.

There are new regulations that prohibit dinghies from pulling up on the beach, so now it’s a fairly rough swim into the beach to get the trail to Devils Bay. The walk to Devils Bay is incredible, a scramble over and under huge rock formationswhile getting splashed by the sea spraying up through the holes. After about a 15-minute hike, the reward is a gorgeous beach, a protected harbor and a refreshing swim. Captain Ross picked us up at Devils Bay, then we cruised over to Virgin Gorda’s Savannah Bay to anchor. A dinner onboard of grilled steaks and fish was capped by an incredible moon rise over the hills.

MARCH 10, 2015

ANEGADA

The next stretch, from Virgin Gorda to Anegada, would be our longest — 15 miles with four-foot seas. We arrived,

without incident, after about two and a half hours and grabbed a mooring ball near Potters by the Sea. We were all anxiousto start exploring Anegada, known for its huge spiny lobsters and friendly people. The island has a population of only 300, and is still a little off the standard charter route, so we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We rented scooters to explore Loblolly Bay, known for amazing snorkeling and also home to Captain Ross’s friend JP’s new bar: Daddy’s Love Shack. It will not disappoint. It’s right on the beach and the Hip Replacement rum punches have a 151 floater. Next door is the Flash of Beauty Bar, where the tasty strawberrydaiquiris are finished with fresh nutmeg sprinkled on top.

On our way back, we stopped at the ever-popular hangout Big Bamboo, which has driftwood you can burn your name ontoand then prop up around the bar. We burned “Marinalife” onto a long piece of wood and then carefully placed it above the bar.

For dinner, we’d arranged to have fresh lobsters at Potters —be sure to call in your order by 2 p.m. We found Sam Potter, the owner, with his hands in the lobster crate, picking out thebest ones for dinner. My platter arrived with two huge lobsters,enough to feed a family of four. Though I can’t say there were anyleftovers when I was done. As we finished dinner, the DJ was justgetting started, and we worked off our dinners on the dance floor,then returned to the boat and happily flopped into bed, exhaustedfrom a long day of sun, sea, rum and lobsters.

ANEGADA TO BITTER END YACHT CLUB, VIRGIN GORDA

The next morning we climbed back on our rented scooters and headed out to Anegada Beach Club, located at the far end of the island down a very sandy, bumpy road. If you need a break fromsleeping on your boat, their new, beautifully appointed safari tents overlooking the ocean could be just what you need.

We returned back to the boat and set off on the two-hour tripto the Bitter End Yacht Club on Virgin Gorda. It felt good to be tied up at a dock for a night and the onsite emporium wascritical, as we were running low on wine and beer. We made the fun, easy dinghy trip to Saba Rock for happy hour and thenightly feeding of tarpon, then enjoyed a fabulous dinner at the Bitter End’s Clubhouse Steak and Seafood Grill — don’t miss the Key lime pie!

MARCH 12, 2015

GREAT HARBOUR AT JOST VAN DYKE

After all our eating and drinking, we decided we better take advantage of the hiking trails that wind through the hills near

Bitter End. We followed a beautiful trail that passed Biras CreekResort and ended at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, one of thehost’s of the Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta, whichwas underway that very day.

We shoved off from Bitter End, and Captain Ross did anamazing job of getting us front-row views of the large regattayachts flying through the water in perfect wind conditions. After the race, we headed to Jost Van Dyke, where we found anisolated anchorage near Little Jost’s B Line Bar. Captain Rosssuggested avoiding anchoring near White Bay Beach, our usualspot on Jost, because the cruise ships now anchor in this area and shuttle people into the Soggy Dollar Bar.

The B Line was just what the doctor ordered — a supremelylaid back vibe, delicious Dark & Stormies, corn hole, Chinesedominoes, and a gorgeous beach. From this area you can dinghyto Foxy’s Taboo and Diamond Key to hike to the Bubble Pond,but after several Dark & Stormies we decided to forego the hike, and instead anchored in Great Harbour for a festive evening of dinner and dancing at Foxy’s. Beware the Friggin in the Riggin, a potent frozen banana drink that actually made an excellent dessert.

SCRUB ISLAND

In the morning we made our way toward Scrub Island Resort,Spa & Marina. As we approached, we could see the resortperched on the hills, and we could barely wait for our pending spa treatments, the pool slide, the water trampoline, and theswim-up bar. We spent the day successfully sampling all the wonderful amenities — the kids probably went down the poolslide at least 100 times. We ate dinner at Tierra Tierra, the resort’s casual restaurant, and had local fish cooked to order.Scrub Island’s more formal dining experience, Caravelle, also got rave reviews from whomever we asked. Scrub Island has 52 guest rooms and four villas, and they run a water taxi every hour to Trellis Bay by the airport. For a small fee, boaterscan tie up for the day and take advantage of all the amenities.

MARCH 14, 2015

NORMAN ISLAND

For our last night in the BVIs, we cruised to Norman Island and grabbed a mooring ball up-wind from the infamous — and noisy — Willie T’s floating bar. The water was perfect for our last snorkel of this trip, and we jumped in amidst a school of purple, blue, and yellow fish swimming around purple coral.It’s an easy dinghy ride to the nearby caves made famous byRobert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. After our snorkel we dinghied to Pirate’s Bight for sunset drinks — the entire place has been rebuilt after a fire a few years back. We took loads of pictures to capture our last night in this incredible landscape. For dinner we feasted on all the remaining provisions,and prepared for the busy day ahead of catching flights andtransitioning back to reality.

The Powercat 48 has plenty of room for water toys; kayaks, rafts and SUP can be secured on the bow.

Hodges Creek Marina

It was an easy one-hour cruise back to Hodges Creek Marina thenext morning. After a last-minute packing scramble, we were onour way to the airport for flights home. Even though we wereleaving, we had incredible memories to take with us, and I vowedto savor the “BVI Island Time” attitude for as long as I could! ml

Portland, MaineAlready known for its classic New England water-town feel and fresh-as-it-gets seafood, Portland is making a case as a “must” for traveling libationists.Its D.L. Geary Brewing was founded in1983, when there were only a handful ofmicrobreweries in the U.S. Since that time,13 startups have joined the local ranks.Take a tour and quaff a pint at AllagashBrewing Company, which favors a Belgianstyle, or venture into Portland’s historicOld Port and visit Sebago Brewing Co. orShipyard Brewing. Rising Tide BrewingCompany in the East Bayside neighborhoodproduces Daymark American Pale Ale, recently named one of the “Great BeersYou’ve Never Heard Of ” by Men’s Journal.Dock at DiMillos Old Port Marina (207-773-7632).

New York, New YorkWith so much else to see and do here, it would be easy to dismiss New York as a humdrum craft beer destination. Thatwould be a mistake. The Big Apple is

home to some of the best beer bars —drop in at the Blind Tiger or Rattle NHum for amazing pours from around theworld — and also has some championbreweries. Brooklyn Brewery didn’t justcapitalize on a name; it’s brewed right in the borough, so you can visit fora tour and a taste. Sixpoint Brewery isnearby, canning four core beers in additionto a series of super-rare brews that aremade one time only. Ale addicts flock toBronx Brewery’s backyard on warm daysto enjoy four year-round and four seasonalbeers. Dock at MarineMax at ChelseaPiers (212-336-7873), North Cove Marinaat Brookfield Place (917-677-7680) or in Jersey City at Liberty Landing Marina(201-985-8000).

Baltimore, MarylandThe second largest seaport in the Mid-Atlantic, and at one time a majormanufacturing center, Baltimore has always been a hardworking town. Many of the microbreweries here reflect that history and character in their names — Union Craft Brewing, Heavy Seas

Brewery, Public Works Ale — and manifest the idea that first you work hard, then play hard. Full Tilt Brewing has the mouth-watering Berger CookieChocolate Stout and Patterson Pumpkin.(It’s website asks: “Why do somethinghalf-assed when you can go Full Tilt?”)Stillwater Artisanal seems to agree, offering bold creations like RauchstarScandinavian Smoked Ale, ClassiquePostmodern Beer and Gose Gone Wild Sour Wheat Ale. Dock at CrescentMarina at Fells Point (443-510-9341), Henderson’s Wharf Marina (410-522-7900),Harbor East Marina (410-625-1700) or at any of the Baltimore Marine Centers.

Jacksonville, FloridaIdeally positioned at the confluence of the St. Johns River, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, with 22 miles of white-sand beaches, Jacksonville is already a boater’s dream come true. So, what if I told you there was also this thing called the Jax Ale Trail?Bingo! Pick up your “brewery passport” atany of the participating locations and win

The largest, and arguably best, homegrown label is Abita. Abita Brew Pub lets you sample draught versions of all its offerings — Amber, Turbodog, Jockamo IPA, Purple Haze andmore — as well as select seasonal batches. Other breweries are up and coming after the town’s long tradition of beer brewing almost died out after Prohibition. Covington Brewhouse specializes in Bavarian styles.

Set just 90 miles south of the FloridaKeys, Cuba is a cruising wonderland.It is the largest island in the

Caribbean, with approximately 4,000 milesof coastline and 24 pocket bays — large,sheltered bodies of water with deep,narrow, offshore entrances. The country’sgeographic diversity is stunning, with threedistinct mountain ranges plus coastal regions filled with hundreds of cays teeming with coral reefs, reportedly theworld’s most pristine.

With the recent easing of some restrictions between the US and Cuba, thecountry should be on your cruising radar.Our first voyage to the island was in 1997.Since then we have made more than 18 trips. At the moment there are still restrictions for private US registered boats(see the information at the end of the storyfrom the US Department of Treasury).

Currently, Cuba has nine operational,all-purpose marinas for international visitors. Five marinas are located on thenorth shore and four on the south, with a

good distance between them all, whichleaves the average cruiser with a week ortwo between services.

The principal marinas are from the pre-revolutionary era, built in the early1950s, with decades of little or no upkeep.Although facilities have dockside power,hook up can require an electrician to hotwire your power cord to the plug-in. Cruisers with alternative ways to chargebatteries opt out of shore power. Gettingfreshwater dockside can also sometimes bean issue — many of the underground watermains are old, leading to poor water pressureor, at times, no water at all. Having saidthat, metered power and water rates atCuban marinas are very reasonable, and improvements to facilities are slowly butsurely being made.

The well-known Marina Hemingway is nine miles west of downtown Havana,and accommodates about 200 boats, with maximum vessel size of no more than 125 feet long with a 16-foot draft. This year,the marina replaced its antiquated power

receptacles with new pedestals and wiring.The facility construction is fixed cementwalls where vessels tie side-to. Most of the country’s other marinas are piling construction with cement decking on fingerpiers. The exceptions are the 30-slip marinaat Cayo Largo in the south and the 10-slipmarina at Trinidad at the foot of the Sierra Escambray Mountains — both of these facilities have floating finger piers not unlike the small marinas in the Florida Keys.

The country’s newest facility, MarinaGaviota Varadero, is near the famed hotel-beach strip Varadero, about 85 milesacross the strait from Marathon, Florida. It is projected to have 1,200 slips uponcompletion, making it by far the largestmarina in Cuba. Dockage is European-style, with vessels tying their sterns to docks by securing lines to side piles ormoorings. There is a large haul-out andstorage yard with a 100-ton travel-lift.Labor is available, but any necessary materials must be brought in — everything

from sandpaper to varnish is difficult tofind on the island.

All Cuban marinas are governmentowned and operated, so dockage rates arefairly uniform and are among the cheapestper-foot rates in the Caribbean. And, contrary to popular rumor, vessels can always anchor out among the cays andbeautiful reefs.

Cruising in Cuba can take a bit of extra

effort, but the rewards are immeasurable.It’s a chance to experience the country’s incredibly rich culture and extraordinarypeople in a unique way. We all hope thatUS/Cuba relations continue to warm andnormalize so that this exceptional countrybecomes ever more accessible to boaters. ml

WHEN SEARCHING THEEAST COAST for fall fishingopportunities, it’s hard to beat NorthCarolina’s fabled Outer Banks. Theproximity to the Gulf Stream makes thearea a magnet for offshore fisherman, andthe months of September throughNovember can provide awesome fishing.The summer crowds are gone, the weathercan be delightful and the fishing can bered hot. It’s a short 35 to 40 mile run tothe Gulf Stream where you’ll find manyspecies of pelagic gamefish. Yellowfin andBigeye tuna are plentiful, while whitemarlin, blue marlin and sailfish remain apossibility, with the back side of the fullmoon of each month the best bet Kingmackerel, billfish, dolphin and wahoo canstill be found, but they too will disappearlater in the fall season. The ocean piers,near-shore and inshore waters provide analternative from offshore action, wherestriped bass and bluefish catches increaseas water temperatures cool. In the sound,look for action with flounder, speckledtrout, red drum, bluefish and school-sized

striped bass to cooperate and provide finelight-tackle sport.

For visiting angler, Pirate’s Cove Marina(800-422-3610, fishpiratescove.com) sets the standard for service, amenities, security, cleanliness and location. A well-stocked ship store, charter boatfleet and safe access down the sound to

Oregon Inlet as well as access to local historic spots, shopping, land-based sports, fine restaurants and beaches put Pirate’s Cove at the top of the list whenlooking for dockage. For the boater needingovernight or short-term dockage at themarina itself, the Marina Office and Ship’sStore are located a few steps from the fuel

dock. Pirate’s Cove offers deepwater slips,and all have electric, cable TV and citywater. Clean showers and laundry facilities are also provided. Diesel fuel andgasoline are available at the fuel dock orvia in-slip fueling. A holding tank pump-offstation is also available at the fuel dock.Inside the Ship’s Store you’ll find shelveswell stocked with all the necessary boatingneeds, sundries and supplies includinglight snacks and a limited beer and wineselection. The fishing tackle section ispacked with all the goodies needed —whether you’re chasing striped bass or blue marlin or anything in between. A selection of baits is also available for inshore and offshore angling adventures,along with fishing charts outlining thelocal “honey holes” available for those unfamiliar with the inshore and offshoreterrain. The charter desk can arrange a trip aboard one of the marina’s world-classcharter boats if you have a party up to six people, or they’ll gladly put you in a“make-up” charter where you’ll fish withothers looking to make a party of six. It’s agreat way to make new friends and enjoy a day on the water. For the fitness mindedboater there’s a fully equipped fitness center onsite and numerous bike trails.Miles of boardwalks along the numerousdeepwater canals offer fishing, crabbingand canoeing opportunities.

Away from the water, the nearbytowns of Manteo and Nags Head are ashort drive or moderate bike ride away.Downtown Manteo is a popular shopping

spot where many local arts and craft-typeshops can be found. The North CarolinaAquarium is a short drive away and worthy of a visit. The town of Nags Headruns along the beach and offers miles ofshopping opportunities, restaurants,miniature and championship golf coursesand movie theatres. Tanger Outlet Centerin Nags Head has over two dozen brandname stores with top quality merchandiseoffered at reduced prices. A little furtherup the road in Kill Devil Hills you’ll findthe Wright Brothers National Memorial.You can also take a stroll in the autumn airon miles of free beaches along Highway12, also known as the “Beach Road.”

Dining out is one of the best parts ofthe Outer Banks and; the area is home tomany fine restaurants where you can enjoya “taste of the Outer Banks.” Over theyears we’ve developed a list of favorites fordinner including Blue Moon Beach Grill,Owens Restaurant, The Colington Café,Basnight’s Lone Cedar Café and BlueWater Grill and Raw Bar which is locatedright at Pirate’s Cove. For lunch, stop bySam and Omie’s or Tortugas’ Lie SeafoodShack; both are at the top of the list.

The fall season is an excellent time tovisit the Outer Banks. Though summer’scrowds are long forgotten you’ll find bargains as accommodation prices are reduced ,yet as long as the storms stayaway the weather remains quite pleasantand the fishing can be excellent. Once you visit you’ll fall for the Outer Banks yearafter year! ml

BOAT COCKTAIL CONTEST

(from a secret recipe) onboard your boat is a rite of passage for most boaters. We were inspired by mixologistand tiki cocktail master, Tom Brown (who was featured in the Marinalife Chesapeake Bay Edition this summer).Tom was raised in Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay,and is the mastermind of hip, tropical-themed pop-uprestaurants in DC. One was Hogo, a nuevo tiki rum barthat set a new standard for Polynesian funk. Another wasNew York Avenue Beach Bar, where he filled a parking lotwith 70 tons of sand, food wagons, and a cocktail bar tocreate an oasis of beachy fun near the convention center.It’s hard to go wrong when you mix good rum with islandingredients such as pineapples, limes, coconuts, oranges — even nutmeg and vanilla. “The flavors are refreshingand unexpected,” says Tom.

We decided to ask Marinalife readers to share their favorite onboard cocktail recipes for this issue. The response was overwhelming, so we selected a handful ofour favorite recipes and had our neighborhood bartendersat the Tiki Barge Bar located at BMC’s Harborview Marina mix up the winning concoctions for a fun photoshoot. Because we had such a difficult time narrowingdown the winners, all of the recipes submitted can befound by visiting marinalife.com/cocktails. ml
