Surf and TurfBy Georgene Mortimer, Island Winery

Hilton Head Island is the land of “Surf-N-Turf.” Our award-winning golfcourses (turf) overlook the ocean(surf). However, beef steer don’t liveon Hilton Island (they would if theycould, but they prefer endless grass-lands over sea turtles and sand dunes).Likewise, at Island Winery, we wouldgrow Riesling grapes here in the Lowcountryif we could, but we can’t.

These grapes may love the gentle sea breezesand sunlight, but they prefer a much heartierterrain than the Island’s sandy soil can provide.Every year at Island Winery we scavenge theturf to find the perfect Riesling grapes to makethe ideal wine for enjoying a summer night onHilton Head Island.

Wine critics call turf terroir, which refers to thesense of distinctive place that gives each vintagea particular character. They love to talk aboutRiesling’s ability to “capture the terroir.” That’swine-speak for saying, “Wow, this grape reallycaptures the scents and flavors of the land it wasgrown upon!” After all, the geography, geologyand climate of a certain place bestow uniquecharacteristics upon different varieties of wine.

In my opinion, some of the best AmericanRiesling grapes grow far inland and to thenorth, in the Lake Ontario region. Climate,soil and ancient geology on the land work inharmony to produce a grape with distinct fruitflavors unique to the land from where it came.

Yet for all of the talk of terroir, the real measureof a Riesling wine is its ability to be perfectly

paired with seafood. It’s thewine’s “turf” to the sea’s neverending supply of “surf.” FiletMignon, buttery lobster and agentle Riesling offer a savoryexperience on Hilton HeadIsland that is hard to match.

At Island Winery, we endeavor to craft the“turf” that will go with any “surf.” Our Rieslingis robust enough to stand up to the savoryflavors of a filet, but it tastes best washingdown lobster or local shrimp cooking in agarlic-herb butter sauce. If your palate callsfor more “surf” than “turf,” a Riesling servesas the perfect meal companion to enhancethe many culinary delights from the sea.

A glass of chilled Riesling savored with agrouper sandwich is an essential combinationfor a sunny lunch on Hilton Head. However, aRiesling will also complement a bowl of SheCrab Soup on a rainy day with just as muchease.

Island Winery’s tasting room is located a mileand a half from the beach. We invite you tostop by and taste the “turf” in our Riesling andpair it with whatever “surf” you fancy.

The perfect bottle of wine awaits at IslandWinery on Cardinal Road. Store and tastinghours are Monday-Saturday from 12:30 p.m.to 5:30 p.m. Wine Flights and Cheese areavailable from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. A Wine & Cheese Happy Hour is offeredMonday-Thursday starting at 4 p.m. (843)842-3141 or islandwinery.com.

The real estate market is heating up on HiltonHead Island and the surrounding Lowcountry.If you’ve ever thought about owning property onthe Island, now may be the perfect opportunity.

Whether you’re looking for a primary residence,second home or investment property, our mar-ket is primed for buyers to succeed. This month,we will explore the role of a property manage-ment company and how it can benefit both thevacationer as well as the property owner.

Why Hilton Head Island?Well, for one thing, just take a look aroundyou. Our 12 miles of sandy beaches, moderateclimate, abundant wildlife and in-keeping-with-nature architecture truly make Hilton HeadIsland a special place. We are also part of anatural migration of Baby Boomers looking toretire to warmer climates. Hilton Head Islandis nearing a point of being built-out, which willhelp to drive prices up in the future. In addition,as other areas become increasingly commer-cialized, Hilton Head Island will always retainits natural charm due to regulations put in placemany years ago.

The VacationerFeeling a little cramped in that hotel room?While the daily turndowns are nice, maybe youneed the comfort only a villa or a home canbring. A growing number of vacationers areturning to property management companies tofind the perfect vacation retreat. Island rentalcompanies offer a variety of properties for youto peruse on their websites, indicating availabil-ity, how many people each will sleep, whatinterior and exterior amenities are available,distance from the beach or other attractions,minimum length of stay, whether it is pet-friend-ly or not and of course, the price. Ever thoughtof having a wedding on the beach? Propertymanagement companies can help you find theperfect venue for the wedding as well as accom-modations for your guests.

Although most companies offer online booking,property managers are also just a phone call

away. They are there to assist you in choosingbetween properties, providing directions, secur-ing travel insurance and offering advice onactivities and local favorites. Once you arrive,property managers typically provide a welcomepacket filled with maps, restaurant guides anddiscount coupons. If you are inconveniencedby anything during your stay, they are here tomake it right, day or night.

The Property Owner If you’re thinking of purchasing a second homeor villa and are interested in renting it out tooffset taxes and mortgage payments, choosinga qualified property management company iskey. Property managers can offer peace of mindthat your property is being well cared for duringyour absence. This includes marketing yourproperty for maximum rentals, securing pay-ments, greeting guests, coordinating cleaningsand repairs, inspecting the property for dam-ages, resolving complaints, providing monthlystatements and offering advice about how arenovation or cosmetic update could increaseyour rental income.

Property management companies usually chargeanywhere from 15 to 25 percent of the grossrental income, plus cleaning and repair charges.In choosing between companies, you may firstwant to visit websites online. With so manypeople using the Internet to search for rentalproperties, if you’re not impressed by a web-site, chances are people looking to book yourproperty won't be either. Next, you’ll want tocontact a number of companies to comparerental projections, fees and marketing programs.Once you decide on a company, use their expe-rience dealing with customer requests and pref-erences to help get your property “rental ready.”

Property management companies offerbenefits to both the vacationer and theproperty owner. Contact Carey North atPalmetto Sands Realty & Rentals at (843)384-6402 or visit CareyNorth.com tofind the property that best suits yourindividual needs.

DRIVING TIPS:• Slow Traffic (looking for a sign or site) KEEP TO

THE RIGHT.• Reduce gaps between moving vehicles, but

keep a safe distance. NO TAIL-GATING.• Use your turn signals – you are not saving

electricity.• Look for and use mile markers and

landmarks for reference.• Yield to cars in the traffic circles.

• Crossing a double solid white line in traffic circles is prohibited. THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN.

• Don’t “rubberneck” at the scene of an accident or at flashing lights. KEEP MOVING.

• Don’t change lanes quickly or block traffic.• Traffic tickets are expensive. SAVE $$ – DON’T

SPEED.

Horoscope August 2012

ARIES Elevate your thoughts and yourmood by breaking your routine. This could

take the form of an extended vacation or trip – orchanging the order in which you go through yourday. You need to do something to loosen up yourattitude and stimulate your vital juices. This wouldnot be a good time to change occupations oremployment, as a promotion may be in order.

TAURUS Talk to a close friend or col-league long and seriously before taking a

major step in your business or personal life. Ifyou still feel that you must make a change fromyour present set-up, do it quickly and cleanly,and do not vacillate. There could be some inter-esting developments in the financial affairs ofsomeone close to you which could have lastingeffects on you.

GEMINI Your recent concern with yourpersonal situation could be brought to a

happy conclusion without your needing to takeany steps whatsoever. Business activity couldincrease, bringing with it increased financialstability – but also a much increased workload andadditional responsibility. Accept an unexpectedcompliment without false humility or disclaimers.

CANCER Try curbing your appetites in alldirections and learn the comfort of simplic-

ity. This may be very difficult to do, but accom-plishing this goal might well produce much happi-ness and personal satisfaction. Increase yourvigilance over your finances – or over any whichyou now oversee. Expect an unusual communi-cation from one whom you had almost forgotten.

LEO Pay close attention to small detailsand you could find your income increasing

by large amounts. Extra efforts on your behalf byco-workers should be rewarded in some manner,but a personal thank-you could put icing on thecake. Note carefully any changes that you wantto make in a project and then follow through onsupervision to make sure that things are donecorrectly.

VIRGO An old flame could be having prob-lems of a personal sort and could call on

you for help. Should this happen, you could findyourself becoming involved all over again, if youare not careful. Expect some financial reverses, butdon’t panic over minor matters, as you couldrecoup strongly by hanging tight. Chances for animprovement in your job situation are good.

LIBRA Late hours and too much entertain-ing could cause you serious health problems

if carried to excess. Make an effort to spend moretime with a young person who needs your guid-ance and support. Romantic involvement may bevery pleasant, but playing too wide a field couldcause you some personal embarrassment andcreate problems for you in career areas.

SCORPIO That letter you have beenplanning to write to an old friend should

be completed without further delay, as unex-pected health problems could prevent futurecontact for a long time. Business relationshipswith family members should be avoided if at allpossible. A new job opportunity should be inves-tigated thoroughly before making any type ofcommitment.

SAGITTARIUS Send an overdue letterto a close friend or relative who may be

much in need of some cheering up. Associationswith people of unsavory character could cast youin the same mold in the eyes of others – especiallythose who have some input into your future career.A romantic situation could develop with an oldfriend, but don’t look for anything permanent.

CAPRICORN Spend more time andeffort to solidify recent gains and you

could find yourself enjoying a longer period ofhappiness. Expect some problems from an oldincident you had almost forgotten. You can handlethem, however, if you will be frank and open inyour dealings with those close to you. Try to getsome time away from your work.

AQUARIUS Alter your plans for romanceif it looks like they could interfere with

your career. Search for an area of compromisewith a business associate who has developed anantagonistic attitude. Care should be used withmedicines and medications of all kinds, partic-ularly if you have had problems in the past withany kind of allergies. Overlook the quick temperof one close to you.

PISCES Business problems could multi-ply unless you make a special effort to

insure personal loyalty of everybody on your team.This does not have to take the form of financialreward, although that may not be amiss, if you canafford it. A kind word or a special recognition ofperformance could do the trick just as well. Loveof a serious kind could re-enter you life now.

The dark, sinister form appeared 20 yards fromthe boat, swimming lazily but with a sense ofraw power.

His impressive 12 feet in length confirmed thatpower as he nosed up to the stern of the boat,following the scent of the barracuda we hadhanging from our vessel. The distinctive stripeson the creature’s sides, along with his massivesize, confirmed that this was a tiger shark. Thesemonster sharks are not uncommon on localoffshore reefs and offer anglers a battle thatcan last for hours. Of all the sharks inhabitinglocal waters, this one is king and is truly amajestic sight to behold.

Closer inshore and on a much smaller scale,we have numerous kinds of sharks that offerexciting sport for young and old alike. My per-sonal favorite is the blacktip, a beautiful, highlyspirited species that often takes to the air mul-tiple times during the fight. Dark brown alongthe back, eventually fading to a golden hue,the tips of the fins have a trademark black hue,hence the name blacktip.

Most of the area’s inshore blacktips are betweenthree and five feet long and weigh between fiveand 20 pounds. Larger blacktips can usuallybe found behind shrimp boats a few miles offthe beach, weighing in at up to 100 pounds.

Stout tackle is required for thesemonster sharks. You have to appre-ciate the sheer power of these fishwhen they erupt behind the boat,like a cruise missile launched froma submarine, launching 10 feetinto the air.

Probably the most common speciesof sharks in local waters are thebonnet head (also known as

“bonnies” or scalloped hammerheads) andthe Atlantic sharp nose. Both are made of lean,pure muscle and can lead you to believe thefish on the end of your line must be at leasttwice its actual size. It’s not hard to catchdouble digit numbers of these sharks in thedog days of August.

Often times, these sharks can be found in localcreeks and sounds, making them available toreel in on smaller boats. These shark speciesoffer a lot of sport for the more economicalthree-hour charters offered by most of thelocal charter boats.

The list of sharks in area waters goes on andon… lemons, bulls, fine tooth, duskies, etc.There is a “monster” to fit any budget or ageduring the dog days of summer. Whether youreel in a three-foot blacktip for the kids or a12-foot tiger shark for dad, our local watersoffer great sport for a memorable Hilton HeadIsland charter fishing trip.

Every year, hundreds of thousands ofjellyfish pass through our waters.

Most jellyfish along the South Carolina coastare harmless, but in the months of Augustand September we get some warm watervisitors than can ruin a perfect beach day.Sea Nettles are the most common sting-ing jellies found in our late summer waters.

Jellyfish are brainless and generally free-floating creatures. They have a rudimentarynervous system with receptors that detectsunlight, odors and other stimuli. Jellyfish haveradial symmetry, which is to say that all of theirbody parts radiate from a single axis. This gen-etic design allows them to respond to stimulifrom any direction.

These animals rely on ocean currents, tides andwinds as their main transportation, but they areable to swim in a vertical motion. Jellyfish contracttheir bell-shaped heads to move up and down inthe water column as they search for food or movetowards sunlight. Although many people may thinkthat jellyfish attack on purpose, these animalsreact reflexively to contact and do not intend tocause humans any harm.

The outer layer of a jellyfish bell is called theepidermis. The inner layer of the bell that lines theirgut is referred to as the gastrodermi. The interiorof a jellyfish houses its digestive cavity and simplenervous system. This inner area, called the coe-lenterons, contains the jellyfish’s gullet, stomachand intestines. These animals have one openingthat is used for both the input of nutrients as wellas their excretions.

They typically have four to eight tentacles thatdangle below the bell and transport food from thetentacles to the mouth. These tentacles are coatedwith cnidocytes, venom-filled capsules with tiny barbsthat inject toxins into prey, immobilizing them. Jelly-fish are carnivores eating zooplankton, otherjellyfish, small fish and even crustaceans.

Sea nettle stings are not pleasant. Theirtentacles contain both a trigger and a stingingstructure. While floating through our waters, theirtentacles will come into contact with something

solid, which stimulatesthe trigger releasing tinybarbs full of toxin. Theseverity of a sting willdepend on a number offactors: the thickness ofthe skin in contact, thepenetrating power of thebarbs and the sensitivityof the victim to the toxins.Jellyfish stings canusually be treated athome; however facial or

genital stings should be treated by a doctor.

If stung by a jellyfish, the first thing to do is removethe barbs. Barbs that are not removed will con-tinue to release toxins into the body. Sand, towels,clothing or any available rough material will helpin removing these barbs. Beach Patrol memberson duty are equipped with spray bottles full ofwhite vinegar, which helps neutralize the toxins.Baking soda may also be used. The notion thaturine will help aid a jellyfish sting is a myth; infact, urine may stimulate the barbs to fire moretoxins. Once the toxins have been neutralized,using topical Benadryl or calamine lotion willease the itch that follows a sting.

Tentacles can sting whether they are attached tothe jellyfish’s body or not. Tentacles and pieces oftentacles can wash up with sea grasses and otherocean debris onto the beaches, so take cautionduring the heavy jellyfish season.

The best way to avoid Sea Nettle stings wouldbe to avoid entering the water during migratingseason. However, for those of us who can’t stayout of the ocean, wearing wetsuits or rash guardsor even panty hose in the water will help to preventjellyfish stings.

Summer Saltmarsh Sightings

The saltmarsh provides food and protectionto a myriad variety of animals. The murkywater – filled with an estimated five millionliving organisms per teaspoon – providesnutrients for everything from the smallest plank-ton to apex feeders like dolphin.

While you may become accustomed to seeingthe same selection of birds and mammals inand around the saltmarsh, keep your eyes openfor surprises. After all, nature rarely disappoints.

In fact, the patient observer is rewarded withopportunities to see amazing animals that ven-ture into our little neck of the woods in searchof food and protection. The summertime isno exception.

For as long as I’ve lived on Hilton Head Island,nearly 40 years, I’ve known about the annualsummer visit of a manatee or two. Back in theday, sightings were most frequent on Skull Creek,the body of water we all cross over coming ontothe island. Within the last decade or so, thenumber of manatee sightings has increased.Perhaps we are all being a bit more observant.For the last several years, I’ve spotted this gentleaquatic mammal – a relative of the elephant –on Broad Creek, all the way into the confinesof Shelter Cove Marina. Often drawn to outletsof fresh water, including water hoses at localmarinas, it requires some diligence andpatience to spot the slow moving manatee.

I feel fortunate to have seen manateeson several occasions, though my mostmemorable encounter left three distinctimpressions indelibly marked in my mind:

Manatees are really big. Adults aver-age about 10 feet in length and canweigh 1,000 pounds. They have reallybad breath! While the bulk of a mana-tee’s diet consists of aquatic plant life, italso includes small fish and crustaceans.The manatee’s large, disk-shaped,paddle tail is unlike any other animaltail I’ve ever seen. It provides a criticalform of locomotion for one of nature’smost gentle mammals.

I’m also thrilled about seeing Roseate Spoonbillson Broad Creek. A member of the same familyof birds as the White Ibis, the Roseate Spoonbillgenerally inhabits areas farther south along thecoast of Florida, Texas and Central America.Named for its specialized spoon-shaped bill tip,these birds usually travel in flocks and feed alongmuddy embankments where small pools isolatethe fish and shrimp that comprise their diet.

The first time I saw a Roseate Spoonbill, I wasfascinated by its color. Initially, I thought it wasan Ibis and attributed the pinkish cast due tothe light of the rising sun – until I saw thatdistinctive bill.

Lately, three of these amazing birds have foundsafe haven (at least temporarily) along BroadCreek. My fellow guides and I are thoroughlycaptivated by the trio of Spoonbills, especiallytheir feeding behavior. Join us and perhapsyou will see them too.

For more than 30 years, Outside HiltonHead has provided personalized adven-tures for all ages, from kayak, fishing,nature and dolphin tours to kids’ camps,history excursions, family outings andstand-up paddle boarding.

Summer Golf TipsBy Doug Weaver, Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort

I enjoy helping golfers improve their golf game,lower their scores and widen their smiles bysharing the tips I’ve learned over the yearsthat lead to success on the green.

I grew up in a small town in West Virginia andlearned to play golf, for the most part, withouttaking instruction. I was a good athlete, but Ideveloped swing problems from being an under-educated golfer. I went on to be a successfulgolfer at Furman University and eventuallyended up on the PGA TOUR, but I learned alot of hard-earned lessons along the way.

I learned early on that when you do somethingwrong in your swing, you often compensateby doing other things wrong. In addition, pres-sure only enhances the problems with your golfgame. For every problem in a golf swing, there’sa solution. I love helping golfers eliminatemistakes, have fun and enjoy the game evenmore. I’m not afraid to share my failures andto help golfers learn from my own mistakes.

August is the perfect month to perfect your golfswing on Hilton Head Island. One of the mostimportant tips to keep in mind is to use yourbig muscles when you’re in a tight spot on thegreen. In high-stress situations, it’s natural tobecome nervous, anxious and tight. That’s whyit’s important to use the big muscles in yourtrunk, torso and legs to power your swing.

Don’t let the little muscles in your hands, wristand forearms provide the power for the swing,or you will be extremely disappointed. Whenyou use those small muscles, your club and

your swing get out of rhythm.

Remember that the body’s larger, slow-twitchmuscle fibers are more dependable under pres-sure. They provide the consistency you needto hit more shots with greater accuracy on thegreen and the fairway. It’s important to relax,organize your thoughts and prepare for success.

In addition, to improve your loft on the green,particularly when you’re in a forced carry situ-ation involving water, focus on clipping the teerather than lifting the ball up in the air. Don’tstruggle with indecisiveness. Instead, rememberthat golf is a game of opposites. When youswing down, the ball automatically goes up.

Don’t lift the ball with your wrist, as manygolfers tend to do. Instead, trust the loft andlet the club do the work. You’ll be much morepleased with the results.

As the mercury rises in August on Hilton HeadIsland, make sure you keep your cool on thegolf course. Stay hydrated, apply sunscreenand consider wearing a hat to shield your headfrom South Carolina’s hot summer sun.

Above all, focus on improving your swing,relax and have fun on the green. Play a fewrounds on Hilton Head Island, one of theworld’s ultimate places to play golf. You’ll jointhe ranks of some of the world’s top golferswho have teed off on the island’s award-win-ning championship courses. Hilton Head trulyis heaven on earth for golfers. There’s no betterplace to perfect your swing this summer!
