Host Your Own Wine TastingBy Georgene Mortimer, Island Winery

Combine friends, family and fun this summer for anunforgettable experience.

Looking for a fun way to spend an eveningwith family or friends? Whether you’rerenting a beach house with a group ofpeople or just need an excuse to throw aparty, home wine tastings are fun, easyand economical.

You can easily turn your summer barbeque intoan exquisite wine tasting event without muchdifficulty or expense. For parties of about six ormore, this is a great way to explore unchartedcorners of the wine world by the pool, on thepatio or on the porch.

Pick a ThemeTo make it a proper wine tasting event, firstdecide on a theme. You can build your tastingaround a particular wine region or a type ofwine from different parts of the world, or evenan assortment of wine from the same winery.Try a “Chardonnays of the World” theme andcompare the delicate French Chablis with arobust American oaked Napa Chardonnay toa gentle Old/New World fusion of Australia’sYarra Valley. Or, spice things up with anassortment of Chilean wines including a fewMalbecs, Carmeneres and Sauvignon Blancs.Even on a shoestring budget, you can afford togo global for your own wine tasting.

Must-Have AccessoriesIf it can be avoided, try not to serve wine out ofSolo cups or plastic cocktail tumblers. If you’reworried about bringing the crystal stemwareout by the pool, your local dollar store has adecent selection of both plastic and glasswarethat should make for a great wine experiencewithout sacrificing quality. Everybody likes to be

included, so it’s worth investing in at least onecheat sheet that has useful descriptive termsand hints about each wine you taste. That way,newcomers and seasoned wine tasters alikecan focus on the wine, and nobody feels selfconscious about not knowing the lingo. Cheatsheets can easily be printed off the Internet.You may also want to invest in an opaquepitcher to serve as a spittoon. Allow designateddrivers the chance to politely spit out the wineafter they’ve sampled it, so they too canparticipate in the fun!

Making It a True Tasting Experience Make the wine tasting its own event. Don’t tryto fit it between appetizers and dinner, anddon’t stress about finding the perfect food topair with it. That’s not what a tasting is about.Start with the heaviest, driest wine and serveabout a quarter glass to each of your guests.This is just enough to appreciate each winewhile keeping in mind that several wines will beserved throughout the course of the tasting. It’salso a good idea to have some bread inbetween each taste to freshen everybody’spalate. If you choose to serve dinner, do soafter the tasting and allow each guest tochoose their favorite wine of the evening toaccompany their dinner.

Stop by Island Winery for a great selection ofwines. Our friendly and knowledgeable staffwill be glad to offer suggestions for your winetasting event.

The perfect bottle of wine awaits at IslandWinery on Cardinal Road. Store andtasting hours are Monday throughSaturday from 12:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. WineFlights and Cheese are available from12:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m., Mon.-Fri.; 12:30-4p.m., Sat.

Visit the King Neptune Statue atShelter Cove Harbour

The towering 12-foot bronze statue ofNeptune, which doubles as a larger-than-life sundial, serves as an iconic symbol of Shelter Cove Harbour at PalmettoDunes, welcoming visitors to the entrance ofthe popular waterfront dining and shoppinglocation.

Designed and installed by sculptor WayneEdwards, this much-loved statue serves as atribute to Neptune, the Roman god of thesea. The King Neptune statue, which depictsa bearded Neptune holding his signaturetrident, serves as a popular centerpiece atShelter Cove Harbour. The statue isstrategically mounted on a circular base withnumbers around the edge.

When the trident’s shadow falls across the26-foot wide base, the numbers indicate theprecise time. Hailed as the world’s largestfigurative sundial, the statue was originallycast at a foundry in Princeton, New Jerseyand shipped by truck to Hilton Head Island in

1983. Engineers made meticulous measure-ments before the one-ton statue wasinstalled, ensuring that it would be located atthe ideal angle to indicate the time.

Engineers oriented the sculpture towards truesouth by aligning the constellation UrsaMajor with the North Star.

An official dedication for the statue was heldat Shelter Cove Harbour on August 11,1983, attracting residents and visitors alike.Today, the King Neptune statue delights gen-erations of visitors to Shelter Cove Harbour,impressing adults and children of all ages.Stop by to see King Neptune in person andto experience a true Hilton Head Island icon.

– Don’t enter the water if you can’tswim.

– Swim near a lifeguard. United States Lifessaving Association statistics show that substantially more drownings occur in areas where there are no lifeguards.

– Ask the lifeguard about any dangers in the water or on the beach, especially if he or she is flying a yellow caution flag.

– Be aware of direction and strength of longshore currents.

These currents can take you up and down the beach quickly and cause you or your kids to get lost.

– Don’t let your kids swim unsuper-vised, even in guarded areas.

– Don’t swim alone. Use the buddysystem so that someone always knows where you are so they canget help if needed.

– Don’t overestimate your swim-ming ability. Stay in chest deep or less water to insure you don’t

get stuck in water over your head.

– Don’t rely on flotation devices. – Swim parallel to shore if you

want to swim long distances.– Don’t swim against the current.

Swim across the current to escape the pull.

– Always swim sober.– Don’t dive into unknown water

or shallow breaking waves. Always go feet first. This will helpyou avoid spinal injuries.

Harbour Town Lighthouse

Rising 93 feet abovethe Calibogue Soundand framing the 18th

hole of the HarbourTown Golf Links...

The first privately financed lighthouse builtsince the early 1800s, construction of theHarbour Town Lighthouse was completed in1970.

Nicknamed “Fraser’s Folly,“ Charles Fraser,the visionary developer of The Sea Pines Resort,believed a distinctive landmark, along with aprofessional golf tournament, would arouseinterest in the fledgling seaside community.

As usual, Fraser was right, and today thecandy-striped, hexagonal structure has becomesynonymous with Hilton Head Island.

Rising 93 feet above the Calibogue Soundand framing the 18th hole of the Harbour TownGolf Links, golfers use the red-and-whitestriped lighthouse as a guide off the tee. Thebackdrop for one of golf’s most picturesquefinishing holes, #18 was once part of the $1 million Kodak Challenge, a celebrationof “the beautiful holes and memorablemoments in golf.”

Panoramic views of the Harbour TownYacht Basin and Golf Links, the LibertyOak, the Calibogue Sound and DaufuskieIsland, are just one reason to climb the114 stairs to the top of the lighthouse.

Along the way, the Harbour TownLighthouse Museum offers a self-guided“climb through time” with displays andartifacts showcasing various stages ofHilton Head history.

Offering a unique, “elevated” shoppingexperience, The Top of the Lighthouse Shopfeatures over 2,000 items, including CrystalWorld fine crystal lighthouse figurines, HarbourLights collectibles, Christmas ornaments,Annaleece high quality fashion jewelry,Trollbeads and local art and photography.

While enjoying the view, wave to family and friends via the webcam or visitharbourtownlighthouse.com to zoom inon the yacht basin, the 18th hole of theHarbour Town Golf Links or the Liberty Oak,where family favorite Gregg Russell hasentertained generations of visitors for morethan three decades during the summer.

The Island’s best-known landmark is alsoavailable for special events, including memo-rable weddings, intimate parties and corporatefunctions. Call for details and reservations.

The Harbour Town Lighthouse is open 7 days a week from 10 a.m.-Sundown.Admission is $3.75 per person, free forages 5 and under. Accommodating up to40 people, the lighthouse may also be re-served for private parties and functions.(843) 671-2810, (866) 305-9814 orharbourtownlighthouse.com.

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 trafficcircles is prohibited. THE LIFE YOU SAVEMAY 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.

The Importance of SALT MARSHESCourtesy of the Coastal Discovery Museum

Although mucky and smelly, the salt marsh is an important part ofthe Lowcountry.

In actuality, the salt marsh produces more food for the environmentthan rain forests. The green grass that dominates the marsh is calledsalt marsh cord grass or Spartina. When this cord grass dies eachwinter and decomposes, its nutrients are released into the marshmud, creeks, streams and even into the ocean. These nutrientsbegin the food chain for the entire Southeastern coastal area.

So, the next time you enjoy a meal of shrimp, mussels, oysters, bluecrab, stone crab or saltwater fish, thank the muddy salt marshes.

Sport Crabbing on the Crabber J

cJust for Kids


The early light of morning was justbreaking as we rounded the corner ofDolphin Head and were greeted by awelcome sight: several boats throwing cast netsas gulls and terns dove on the bait schools.

Captain Bryan loaded the 12-foot cast net and,a few throws later, we had added some nicemenhaden to the live well, complementing ourvaried selection of dead bait.

Throttling up, we raced to our destination -- arip in Broad River -- and dropped the hook. Thesonar soon revealed large schools of baitpassing beneath the boat, so we broke out alight rod and attached the sabiki rig. CaitlinWhitmore obliged on the jigging job and soonfilled the live well to the limit with fresh livelygreenies. We were dressed for success, or so wethought.

Four hours and one small bonnet head sharklater, we were scratching our heads. Running sixlines -- four on the bottom with a buffet of liveand cut bait, plus two live ones free swimmingon top -- we had still failed to attract a cobia.With just a light breeze and the sun bearingdown, we made the decision to change our spotand hopefully our luck.

Moving further upriver, we dropped anchor on aproven spot and reset the arsenal. The tide waspeaking within a few hours, the current hadslowed and the chum bag was deployed.Renewed optimism filled our hopes. Withinminutes, a rod bowed and the line zipped off themedium heavy reel.

Scott Allen grabbed the rod, and immediatelythe line went slack. The hookless leaderconfirmed a shark bite. Apparently a large

hungry one. Within minutes, the scene wasrepeated. Bent rod, line screaming off, only tocome up hookless.

Several more agonizingly hours passed and wecommiserated over the downside of river fishingfor cobia. When it’s hot it’s hot. When it’s not,it’s challenging to say the least. We finallydecided to throw in the towel.

Pointing the bow home, the Bayrunner planedoff smoothly and all were advised to keep watchfor a “cruiser.” A few minutes later, Bryanscreamed: “There he is! You almost ran overhim!”

Swinging around, we soon spotted the bigbrown shadow just beneath the surface. Bryanpitched a live “greenie” just in front of the fish.With a burst of acceleration, the fish swallowedthe bait and the fight was on. After 10 minutesof spirited battle, we put a nice 25-pound cobiain the boat.

Talk about a buzzer beater. But, sometimes,that’s cobia fishing!

It’s a mid-summer low tide, and you justfinished dinner at one of your favorite marina-side restaurants. You take a walk with yourfamily along the marina and notice all thesesmall crabs hanging out on the exposed mud.What are they? They’re fiddler crabs, a regularnative of the South Carolina Lowcountry!

South Carolina has three different species offiddler crabs, each found in specific areas of theLowcountry tidal saltmarsh system. They are acommon sight from marinas to saltwater creeksto beaches. They are, in essence, a keystonespecies, which is an organism whose populationdirectly affects the overall health of an ecosystem.Fiddler crabs play many important roles for thelocal ecosystem. They aid in the growth of cord-grass by aerating the soils as they dig burrows.As they tunnel into the mud, nutrients and mineralsare turned over to stimulate plant and algaegrowth. Fiddler crabs also serve as an importantfood resource for many different species livingwithin the marsh environment, including birdsas well as terrestrial and aquatic animals.

All fiddler crabs are short, wide and flat bodied.They have five pairs of walking legs, with theirfirst pair being claws. Females have two smallfeeding claws, while males have one large clawand one small feeding claw. A fully maturemale fiddler crab’s large claw can weigh up to65 percent of his total body weight. Males wavetheir large claw up and down at the opening oftheir burrows to entice females and to intim-idate other males. Females will choose theirmate by the best wave or the biggest claw.

Hilton Head Island is home to the Mud Fiddlers,Sand Fiddlers and Red Jointed Fiddlers. MudFiddlers, Uca pugnar, are found in mud flatsmost commonly in the tidal creeks of SouthCarolina. They have an H-shaped depressionon their carapace (the hard upper shell of acrustacean). They are generally brown withturquoise blue highlights on their legs andclaws. The male’s single large claw can rangefrom yellow orange to yellow white. In SouthCarolina, the males make deep burrows withinthe pluff mud.

Sand Fiddlers, Uca pugilator, are most com-monly seen on our local beaches. They are alsoknown as China Backs due to the elaboratedesigns that can be seen on their carapace. Theupper shell of the sand fiddler is commonly pinkand purple with a bright purple center design.They burrow into the sand on the beach. Theirburrows are most noticeable at a low tide asholes in the ground with a sediment resemblingchocolate sprinkles surrounding them. The“sprinkles” are referred to as pseudofaeces andare a combination of fiddler crab waste andfiltered sediment.

Red Jointed Fiddlers, Uca minax, are muchlarger than their South Carolina relatives.Unlike other local fiddlers, they prefer to live inlow salinity environments, preferring freshwatertidal marshes. They do very well in low oxygenenvironments.

Adult fiddler crabs eat organic material obtainedfrom filtering soil. As fiddlers remove zooplanktonand phytoplankton from the soil, they leave thesediment waste in perfect little balls. Becausethey are filter feeders, they are highly affected bypollutants in the water and the soil. Insecticidesand non-point source pollution are the twoleading causes of local fiddler crab populationdecline. These toxins can be carried into a num-ber of different species that feed on the fiddlercrab, due to this animal’s position on the foodchain. As a result, the fiddler crab has a directeffect on species diversity and populationsthroughout the coastal area.

Meet The AtlanticBottlenose Dolphin

The love between a mother and child isarguably the strongest bond in the spectrumof all human emotions. This relationship hasbeen celebrated in art and literature since thedawn of human existence. Though we maynever truly know the inner life of animals, it'sfair to assume that a similarly powerful relation-ship exists between mothers and babies of thewhale species. In our area, one can witnessthis amazing bond each summer, as AtlanticBottlenose Dolphin mothers introduce their newcalves to the incredible world around them.

Being mammals, dolphins have live births andnurse their young. The typical gestation periodis twelve months for the Atlantic Bottlenosespecies. Around Hilton Head Island, femaledolphins usually give birth in early spring andearly fall. The calf exits the birth canal tail first,and its umbilical cord breaks off.

Often, though not always, another dolphinassists and protects the mother during herlabor. This companion is often referred to asan “auntie” dolphin, though it is not necessar-ily a relation of the mother or a female. At birth,dolphins are typically about three feet long andweigh about 25 pounds. Once the baby is born,the mother, with help of the auntie, nudgesthe calf to the surface to take its first breath.

Minutes after giving birth, the mother dolphinwill breastfeed her calf for the first time. Themother’s nipples are hidden in slits along itsunderside. For the calf's first feedings, themother will perform the incredible task ofholding her baby at the surface while it feeds.Soon, the calf will be able to feed underwater.Lacking lips like humans, dolphin calves mustroll their tongues into straw shapes in orderto form the seal necessary to suck the mother’smilk. The milk contains more than 30% fat,which enables the baby to rapidly acquire athick, protective layer of blubber.

At birth, dolphin calves are dark in color, withvariegated lines on their sensitive skin. These

“fetal folds” are developed while the calf issquished in its mother uterus. Although adultdolphins have few natural predators, calvesare hunted by sharks and other carnivores.Their dark skin makes them less likely to bedetected by these predators.

Dolphins, much like humans, learn so muchfrom their mothers. At birth they are unableto swim on their own. They stay close to theirmothers and are pulled by the current of her“slip stream,” created by her powerful swim-ming. Some scientists think that this tandemswimming relationship is carried into laterlife, as most dolphins practice synchronizedbreathing with their pod. Within a few days,the calf learns to swim and breathe on its own.

Dolphins practice unique hunting techniquessuch as tail slapping, and, in our area, strandfeeding. These methods require skill, planningand exact timing, all of which they learn fromtheir mothers. One of the most amazing thingsto see while out on the waters surroundingHilton Head Island is a mother dolphin trainingher calf to hunt. She will demonstrate a movewhile the calf looks on, then the calf will attemptto practice it. In a similar manner, the motherwill teach her calf how to communicate andhow to behave in the complex dolphin society.

Get out on the water with an Outside HiltonHead guide this month and cross your fingers:you just might witness the incredible bondbetween dolphin mothers and calves!

To improve your game, it’simportant to master thefundamentals.

Get Back To BasicsBy Doug Weaver, Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy

This month, put the “fun” back in golf funda-mentals! Golf requires mastering the basicsin order to develop a strong swing or aneffective putt. However, it’s equally importantto relax and enjoy your time on the green.

After all, everyone always says they’re going to“play” golf. We can refer to the dictionary for anofficial definition of the word “play,” but we allknow that this verb refers to having fun, enjoy-ing yourself and being entertained.

Remember that golf is a game and it should befun! Don’t take it too seriously or dwell on thenegative. Stay loose and positive and you’llaccomplish so much more.

Think of the golf course as your own personalplayground. It’s a place where you can have fun,relax and develop your game. In golf, you wantto feel loose and free like Fred Couples or VijaySingh. Being relaxed is so important at every stageof the game.

Remember that when you play with your kids, yourgrandchildren or your dog, you instinctively usea light touch so that nobody gets hurt. It’s thesame way in golf. You want to hold your golf clublightly with your arms relaxed and your grip pres-sure relaxed. Being tense and tight will only hurtyour golf swing.

Instead, you want your swing to be fluid, syrupyand free. Your swing should be free of tension,free of thought and free of anxiety. Keep youreye on the target and visualize in your mind theshot you want to make.

Remember that the human mind is comprised ofconscious and subconscious thoughts. You wantto feed positive, relaxed, affirmative thoughts to

your subconscious mind in order to maximizeyour swing. If you let those encouragingsubliminal messages guide you and applysolid fundamentals to your game, you’ll be

able to succeed on the green.

After all, the key to improving your golf gamelies in combining strong mechanics with a posi-tive mentality. You’ll have more fun on the golfcourse – and play better on every hole – if youhave a good attitude.

Also, keep in mind these basic principles:See itFeel itTrust it

First, you have to see the shot. That meansexamine the set-up, but also visualize in yourmind’s eye the shot you want to make.

Second, feel the shot in your body. On aphysical level, engage your swing fully to helpmake the shot you see in your mind a reality.

And, finally, trust the shot – and yourself – tofree yourself from the anxiety that often plaguesmany recreational and professional golfers.You’ll have a lot more fun out on the green!

June is an ideal month to play golf on HiltonHead Island and the perfect time to fine tuneyour basic skills. But be sure to wear a hat andsunscreen with a good SPF, particularly duringpeak sun hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.Enjoy every moment on the course this month.I’ll see you out on the green!
