Park staff fielding questions thatdecision was already madeBY ARNOLD MARKOWITZ Waterfront News Fishing Columnist
Biscayne National Park has awakened a dormant idea toclose part of the park to fishing as a way to restore its dimly-remembered gamefish abundance of yore.
When the prospect of no-fishing zones was introduced in2002, it was hollered down by the boating and fishing publicand withdrawn by park staff. Now it’s being revived in a long-stalled attempt to create a 5- to 10-year fishery managementplan for the park.
How the public reacts will be determined during publicmeetings scheduled in mid-September (see Upclose) inFlorida City, Miami and Key Largo. A draft of four alternativeplans describing moderate to severe fishing restrictions will bepresented then for review and possibly for better ideas.
“We’ll probably have a [no-fishing] reserve in at least oneof the alternatives that we’ll show you,” Biscayne superin-tendent Mark Lewis said at a public workshop meeting inJuly. “And you guys will have an opportunity to say we likethis, we don’t like this.”
Two weeks later, all four alternatives were published withno-fishing reserves of varied severity.
Apart from the basic unpopularity of no-fishing areas,nicknamed MRZ for marine reserve zones, Lewis is con-fronting suspicion that the decision is already made with onlydetails left to settle.
“Even though some people think we’ve already cookedthe books on this, what we learn [here] will help drive whatwe produce,” he said at public workshop in Miami.
A man called Rafael was not convinced: “The process isreally corrupted. It’s clear that you want to do it.”
Lewis’ opening presentation sounded as if he was tryinghard to sell his audience on no-fishing reserve zones. Heemphasized their potential for fish population recovery andcited them as a way to give snorkelers and divers their ownspaces without intrusion by fishing boats.
A careful reading of the draft plan gives Rafael’s suspi-cion some plausibility.
For example, the park’s draft plans appear to take forgranted that the Florida Fish and Wildlife ConservationCommission (FWC) is changing its longtime opposition tono-fishing zones.
To close or not to closeIn early stages of a plan begun several years ago, the
FWC refused to play partners with the park unless its standagainst such zones was adopted.
FWC is important to the understaffed park, where stateboating and fishing regulations are used and FWC officershelp rangers with enforcement. Ninety-five percent of theplace is submerged in Biscayne Bay and the reefs between thebay and the Gulf Stream.
In 2002, the park formally agreed with FWC that clo-sures weren’t warranted. They wrote a memo of understand-ing about it then and renewed it in 2007 for five more years.The understanding explicitly stated the FWC’s rejection ofmarine reserves, or no-fishing zones.
There’s a copy of that document in the management plandraft, with a note saying that a revised version was signed twomonths later — on Dec. 27.
FWC chairman Rodney Barreto told the “WaterfrontNews” he didn’t know a revision existed. “I’d like to see acopy of it myself,” he said.
That December the commission received a staff reportabout changing the memo without acting on it then.
Park Superintendent Lewis said there was discussionabout changing the objection to marine reserves to say insteadthat “all generally accepted fisheries management tools”should be considered.
“The Commission decided not to change the language, sowe never signed a modified version of the agreement inDecember,” Lewis said.
“I guess it was wishful thinking on our part that a modi-fied December agreement would be signed, and somehow wefailed to pull that line out.”
The published version of the memo of understanding stillleaves the door ajar to severe restrictions, which could includeno-fishing zones. FWC would reconsider if convinced thatsomething so extreme is “absolutely necessary,” it says.
“The FWC would still approach any state rulemakingfrom the point of view of putting in place the least restrictivemeasures needed to meet the fishery management goal,"said Mark Robson, head of the division of marine fisheries.
The fishery management plan, FMP for short, includes a

As landlubbers went about their business, a once a yearphenomenon was taking place underneath the waters just offFort Lauderdale beach.
Corals were engaged in an annual spawning ritual typ-ically held each August following a full moon. AlisonMoulding, a marine scientist, was not there just to observe.She and a team of researchers were gathering eggs andsperm released by the living organisms.
Their mission was to take back specimens to their lab atthe Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center inDania Beach, where Moulding is leading a project to grow thecorals and return them to the ocean.
The idea behind their replanting efforts will go towardhelping restore reefs damaged by coastal development, cli-mate changes, over-fishing, pollution, anchors and vesselgroundings.
Nova working on growing coral reefsResearchers have been working four years on the pro-
gram, which involves fertilizing eggs and monitoring thegrowth in saltwater-filled tanks. Although not yet successful atgetting the corals large enough to transplant back on to thereefs, they've been making progress, Moulding said.
“It's a learning process. We improve each year.”Their latest outing on Aug. 8 marked a new approach by
researchers. Past dives have concentrated on collecting eggsand sperm from Great Star corals. The Nova team switchedtheir focus this year to the Staghorn, which is on the govern-ment's endangered species list.
One of the largest colonies of Staghorn in the state is justoff Fort Lauderdale.
Researchers dived 20 feet and tented coral. Nets wereused to catch the millions of sperm and egg bundles that arereleased and rise to water's surface. Timing is important. The

Real question from a real per-son, in a tone as skeptical as it wascurious: “Fly-fishing? Where canyou go Fly-fishing down here?”
Real answer: “Anywherethere’s water and fish.”
Before I could fly into a spiel onthe challenge and glory and, yes, theromance of Fly-fishing down here,the lady’s companion beckoned her
away from my fly-tying demonstration table at a fishing show.That was a shrewd dude, anticipating my offer of a pri-
vate lesson that might lead his woman into irresistible temp-tations — such as tying flies, not to mention other thoughtssoiling his jealous mind. I could see that in his eyes, and thelonging in hers. Why didn’t she sneak back alone at closingtime? Should I have called the police?
I wanted to tell her that down here we fish with fliesresembling minnows, forage fish, frogs, grasshoppers andbeetles, not real flies with wings and all that. We call all ofthem flies, even us fussies who like our vocabularies precise.
If only she’d come back, I’d have told her about a 212-pound tarpon, caught on a saltwater fly, that’s mounted on alobby wall at the International Game Fish Association.
She should have ditched her alpha male and let me showher how to use natural and artificial materials to imitateshrimp and crabs to lure fish that could take her breath away.I would have made her a snook streamer with yak hair. Yes,yak hair! Who could resist?
Surely she would have enjoyed the clippings and snip-pings of feathers, animal hair and realistic synthetics thatwould cling to her clothing like the fur of cats and dogs inshedding season. Did you know some people work pet furinto fishing flies? Yes we can.
Now I recite my thwarted spiel to others who ask herquestion, a common one from northern non-Fly-fishing-doerswho think tying flies means making imitation insects no larg-er than the fingernail on an infant’s pinky.
That of course is how fly-fishing began in the BritishIsles, in days of old when knights were bold, or so we’re told.
In modern times, still within the limits of old men’s mem-ories, fly-tying held its appeal to traditionalists. Magazines Iread as a child depicted fly fishermen as pipe smokers wear-ing tweed jackets with suede elbow patches, slouch hats andhip waders made of rubber heavy enough for bicycle tires.
My uncle Bob, an artist in New Jersey, painted a fly fish-erman who looked like that. It was a self-portrait.
Like the woman I encountered at the fishing show, UncleBob could not imagine Florida as a fly-fishing destination.Even after living here for decades, neither could I. UncleBob taught me fishing, but he didn’t tie flies, which didn’t
appeal to me anyway in early youth. In late youth, just a fewyears ago, I grew fond of it. I bought some stuff, then a littlemore stuff, then a lot of stuff.
Fishing is stuff-intensive. Fly-fishing is more so and fly-tying is way more stuff-intensive. Sometimes I lose track ofwhere some of my tying stuff is.
If you don’t tie flies or fish them, they look deceptivelyeasy or awfully hard to make. The classic Atlantic salmon pat-terns are hard, and so complex and gorgeous that you’d hateto throw one into a river where some slimy fish might nip it.
Looking at wispy tricos and midges tied on #28 hooks, Iused to wonder who made them. Surely nobody bigger than apraying mantis, I thought, until I met an Ontario trout guidewho does those flies. He’s a big heavy guy with fingers thesize of salamis.
A friend in Montana can tie small humpy flies, whichlook like beetles, in the field without tools. That requires threehands. Dale does it with two. Those are the kind of people Iwant to be like when I grow up.
Earlier I mentioned tying at a fishing show, which mayimply I’m an expert. Ha ha. No, I only have to know the rudi-ments. The demos are meant to spike passing people’s inter-est in fly-fishing, not show off my so-what skills.
In some other cases, they show off exceptional skills.Members of the South Florida Fly-fishing Club demonstrateon two Saturday afternoons each month in the lobby of theIGFA in Dania Beach. One of them, George Haennicke, cre-ates exquisite specimens. IGFA is that odd-shaped building

chronicle of developments in its history. It describes a meet-ing hosted by the park on Nov. 27 and 28, 2007.Representatives attended from three other National ParkService agencies, the National Marine Fishery Service, theFWC and its research institute and the University of Miami’smarine science school.
“The results of this meeting included an agreement of thefinal set of alternatives to be included in the FMP and recom-mendation for future steps of the FMP development and itsimplementation,” the chronicle reports.
That appears to validate a belief that although the alterna-tives were made public this August, they were decided as longas one-and-a-half years ago.
The FWC is scheduled to discuss the fishery plan at itsmeeting Sept. 10. FWC chairman Barreto said. He doesn’tknow yet what the agency’s staff plans to recommend.
No small lossSome tentative acceptance of small no-fishing zones —
as well as opposition, no matter what size — was expressedat the three workshops in July.
At the best-attended session, there was commonagreement that popularity has hurt the park’s fishingseverely. It’s the only national park standing elbow toelbow with a major metropolitan area — greater Miami’ssoutheast suburbs.
Years of scientific surveys confirm what fishermen knowintuitively and from years of fishing in Biscayne. Since thepark’s 1968 spawning as a national monument, its abundanceof gamefish has decreased. So have the average sizes of fishthat anglers catch. They are usually near or smaller than thelegal minimum measurements for keepers.
Back then, there were scarcely any size or bag limits.Limits since have been created by the state for every game-fish in Florida waters, but the declines continued in the park.
It’s widely conceded that something must be done aboutit, but what and how to do it are something else.
“We are against blanket no-take zones,” said JeffMiller, a representative of the Coastal Conservation
Association. ”We’re interested in more adaptive plans ver-sus a restrictive plan.”
Several others at the workshops advocated a boating per-mit to be required of all boaters who anchor in the park. Thepermit fee would pay for education and enforcement, an ideafrom the never-enacted original plan.
“You could have zero tolerance for littering,” RichardHudson suggested. “That will solve the problem of repeaterswho don’t care. Get ‘em out of the park.”
Pressure mountsOthers blamed the fish shortage on people who illegal-
ly fill their coolers with every fish they catch, no matterhow small, and on those who are supposed to catch the vio-lators but can’t catch enough of them. This is a commoncomplaint whenever fishing regulations are discussed.
“If you don’t have someone out there enforcing, it’snot going to work,” said fisherman Ovi Verona as headsnodded around his table. “Try a large fine and jail time.That’ll control the activity.”
There was a lot of support for tight rules less restric-tive than no-fishing zones: Catch-and-release only, for allfish or just for the species at greatest risk. Seasonal clo-sures for certain species, but not for particular locations.Higher minimum sizes and slot limits to keep caught fish.Lower bag limits.
Several people including David Olson, owner of the FlyShop of Miami, argued that creating a no-fishing zone wouldmerely increase fishing pressure around the zone’s borders.
Short-term experimental closures appear impractical.It isn’t clear how long it would take to determine success— just that it could take years.
The workshops followed the typical format ofNational Park Service scoping sessions, except that partic-ipants were not given maps and diagrams of proposedzones to consider and criticize. Instead, they were sortedamong tables of 10 to 12 people and were asked to collab-orate in drawing reserve zones of their own on park maps.
Superintendent Lewis thought it a good idea.“Could a bunch of park scientists draw lines on a map
and give them to you?” he asked. “Yeah, we could. Andwould you be ticked off about it? Yeah, you would.”
Some of his listeners felt out of their depths drawingtheir own lines where they didn’t know if any were need-ed. They preferred to see possible reserves drawn by parkand fish scientists who know where they’re most likely tobe effective.
Verona is one of those. “I feel the park needs to come to us with multiple
alternatives and say how would this affect you?” Veronatold Lewis. “So I feel all this isn’t getting us anywhereuntil the park presents us with what they want to see.”

spawning takes place during one night.“We have a very small window of opportunity,”
Moulding said.But research isn't the whole answer. The public still needs
to conserve water and limit use of pesticides, detergents andfertilizers. Boaters need to be aware of the reefs’ location andanchor on sand and wet mooring buoys, rather than on reefs.They should also use designated pump-out facilities and nottoss trash overboard, Moulding said.
“We face difficult challenges, but hopefully throughrestoration work, it will help a little bit,” she said.
Paul Johnson, director of programs and policies of theKey West-based Reef Relief, said he supports any effortsmade to better understand the natural coral system.
It's a long course to take, but researchers at Nova will gain
increased knowledge of these endangered species. “Whatthey're doing is very admirable,” Johnson said.
Mark Perry, executive director of Florida OceanographicSociety in Stuart, said corals grow at a slow rate, around oneto two centimeters per year. He compares it to a tree. “Youdon't plant a sapling, then have a full grown tree the next year.It takes time.”
If successful, it will be a great step forward, Perry said.The majority of funding for research is through the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),said Richard Dodge, dean of Nova's oceanographic center.
Reefs provide crucial habitats for many forms of marinelife and are vital to the state's fishing and tourism industries.
“It's a great project,” Dodge said. “It has the potential tomake a real difference in bringing coral reefs to their fullerglory. With a little bit of luck and continued grants, we'll makeit happen.”

With computers, we can do tie-alongs with online videosfound on websites like YouTube and Expert Village. Do asearch called “fly-tying” + videos and scroll the entries.
Matt Wirt, a North Carolina guide, teaches saltwater fliesthat way. His fly patterns are easy to tie.
Some people like patterns that are hard to tie, meaningthey’re intricate or require materials that are hard to use well.Deer hair is a good example of that, or an awful one, depend-ing on how well or poorly you handle it.
It makes a splendid bass bug once you get the hang offlaring and spinning it around the shank of a fishhook. Thenyou have to trim the hair snip by snip to shape the fly. People
say it’s too messy.My deer hair flies are clumsy, asymmetrical, unbalanced
— out of kilter in every detail, but recently I found a well-done technique article by Chris Helm of Toledo, Ohio.
I read his website, www.whitetailflytying.com, calledhim up and learned loads, volumes, tons of facts and tricksabout deer hair that I could not have imagined. My new friendknows more about deer hair than the deer who invented it,unless that’s who Chris really is.
“People who say deer hair is too messy are lazy,” he told
me. “It’s just an excuse. If they can’t get something right in 20minutes, they think it isn’t worth their time. It takes longerthan that. It’s a journey.”
Aw, too bad. I hoped to become an expert in 20 minutes,but the instructional DVD I ordered from Chris takes an hourand a half.
I can’t let him down. There isn’t time for an odyssey, butI guess I can make a little journey.

A new ruling by the U.S. Court ofAppeals for the 11th Circuit (which hasjurisdiction over most of the southeasternUnited States), appears to assert that thecrews of fishing vessels are not entitled tofood and water while at sea — and byextension, neither are yacht crews. Here’swhy:
In 2001 and ‘02, Mike Kurtz servedas an engineer aboard several commer-cial fishing vessels that were plying theirtrade in the Bering Sea off Alaska.Apparently in an agreement with the ves-sels, he was charged $25 per day for hismeals while on board, of which he wasnot reimbursed.
When Mr. Kurtz filed his income tax,he deducted the cost of his meals basedon the maximum allowable per diem for-mula rather than the less costly dollaramount of the meals.
Interestingly, the Internal RevenueService allowed Kurtz the higher perdiem rate, but said he could only take 50percent of the deduction. Under the taxcode, they interpreted the cost to be atravel/entertainment expense. Mr. Kurtzthen petitioned the U.S. Tax Court for are-determination of the issue.
Kurtz’s representatives asserted thatfood and beverage are requirements to beprovided to crews at sea. They gaveessentially the following arguments:
•Seamen are the traditional “wards ofthe court” and enjoy special protectionconcerning their health and wellbeing;
•A vessel failing to provide for suste-nance for its crew would, by definition,create an unseaworthy condition;
•U.S. Code 18 § 2191, clearlystates, “Whoever, being the master orofficer of a vessel of the United States,on the high seas, or on any other waters
within the admiralty and maritime juris-diction of the United States... withholdsfrom [a crewmember] suitable food andnourishment... shall be fined under thistitle or imprisoned not more than fiveyears, or both.”
To put it another way: failure to pro-vide nourishment to a crewmember of aU.S.-flagged vessel is a criminal offense.
But the U.S. Tax Court was not per-suaded to alter their deduction allowancesbased on these arguments. So Kurtz tookthe matter to the U.S. Court of Appealsfor the 11th Circuit. (Presumably, Mr.Kurtz had relocated to the southeast at thetime of these hearings).
Representatives for Kurtz gave thesame traditional arguments they had previ-ously. However, the court concluded, “...nofederal statute or common law requires ashipmaster to provide food or water aboarda commercial fishing vessel.”
The court’s decision was written byGordon J. Quist, a federal judge from theWestern District of Michigan sitting in des-ignation with the 11th Circuit, who appearsto have been best known for his expertise intax law before coming to the bench.
Judge Quist’s reasoning seems torevolve around a perception that thoseworking on commercial fishing vesselsshould be viewed as a different classworker from other seamen. The decisioncites a line of cases and federal statutesthat generally allow for commercial fish-erman to contract with the vessel to payfor their own provisions.
More troubling, is the court’s citing ofU.S. Code 46 § 10303 as a major nail toassert the idea that Congress never intend-ed certain seamen the right for sustenanceunder either statute or common law. Thepertinent part of this statute states:

Court allows for hungry fishermen
BY BOB E. SHERMANWaterfront News Columnist
I recently attended Sea Ray’s annualAquaPalooza raft-up, organized locallyby MarineMax. In past years I went to theLake Boca event in Boca Raton. Thisyear I attended the one at Beer Can Islandin North Miami. I have enjoyed all theseon-water parties, even though they arenothing like the “signature event” held onLake Martin, Ala. this year, featuringcountry singer Alan Jackson.
The entertainment, I’m sure, isregional. On Beer Can Island they had aDJ playing nothing recognizable by any-one over age 30, so I didn’t know any ofthe songs. I was speaking with the cap-tain of the MV Laura Jean when he men-tioned that his teenage daughter, Erika,would be singing a song later in the day.I managed to catch part of it. Don’t besurprised if you see her soon on“America’s Got Talent.”
Beer Can Island is actually part ofOleta River State Park. I thought it wasmaintained by Miami-Dade County, butthe state park ranger on duty that day setme straight. I assume he was there tomaintain law and order but judging fromthe fun he was having, he probably paidhis boss to get the assignment.
One of the sponsors of the event wasSea Tow, the aquatic version of AAA.They had a tent set up and were sellingmemberships and giving away whistlesand koozies. The representatives, other-wise known as the Sea Towettes, weredressed in yellow bikinis. But my ex-friend Mike didn’t push the shutter all theway down, so I didn’t get a picture of mewith the young ladies. His picture, whichI took, came out of course. It’s just aswell because my wife doesn’t like itwhen I’m having too much fun.
Speaking of the Oleta River, I ran
into three people who had come to theisland by kayaks rented from Oleta Park.They asked me where the monument waslocated. Now I know how Columbusmissed India. I gave them the bad news:the monument, built in 1920 to honorMiami pioneer Henry M. Flagler, was onFlagler Monument Island, 10 miles southnear South Beach. All was not lost, asthey pretended to have a Sea Ray kayakand had free lunch compliments ofMarineMax.
Three years ago when the economywas good, I went to Lake Boca and gota free box lunch. With the way thingsare today, I was pleasantly surprised tosee hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken,beans, macaroni and cheese, cole slaw,potato salad, pickles, chips, lettuce,tomatoes and olives. Did I miss any-thing? I managed to carry all this foodto a nearby table on the beach. The onlything I forgot to pick up was a fork andnapkin. I made quite a mess, but it wassoooo good.
There was another tent set up onthe island where a barbeque was goingon. Assuming it was one moreMarineMax table, I tried to grab a hotdog. That’s when I was told that it wasa private party.
With all the goodies supplied bysponsors, I expected more boats. Did Imention the gift bag with T-shirts, hatsand other things? When I headed homelater that afternoon, I passed the sandbarat Haulover Inlet. There must have beenover 100 boats there. Too bad for themthat they didn’t read the newspaper, forthey were only 100 yards away from afree lunch.
Anyway, it was a great afternoon.

“A seaman shall be served at least 3 meals a day that totalat least 3,100 calories, including adequate water and adequateprotein, vitamins, and minerals in accordance with the UnitedStates Recommended Daily Allowances....
This section does not apply to a fishing or whalingvessel or a yacht.”
My general understanding (along with a few othermaritime lawyers I spoke with) behind excluding yachts,whaling and fishing vessels, is to recognize that crews onthese vessels do not work a regimented schedule. Butinstead the 11th Circuit has opened the door to the statutebeing interpreted as a blanket denial of a ship’s require-ment to feed such crewmen.
Moreover, by ruling with such a broad brush,owners of commercial fishing vessels and yachts
may reject any responsibility in providing meals fortheir crews regardless of the length of voyage. Theycould also try to charge their crews onerous amountsfor provisions.
At this juncture, I am not aware if this decision isbeing appealed to the Supreme Court. If not, the casecalled “Mike Kurtz v. Commissioner of The I.R.S.” couldprove to be cause for concern in the maritime communityfor some time to come.
In the meantime, seamen on yachts and commercialfishing boats may want to consider investing in very largecoolers if they don’t want to go hungry.

The weather was hospitable and I didn’t see anyone getout of control. When I returned home, I heard that myneighbor had been there and ran over someone’s anchorrode, or vise versa. Supposedly, there was a lot ofyelling and screaming, and the police had to be called toseparate the parties.
I don’t know how I could have missed all the excite-ment — unless it was when I was working on my thirdhamburger. Then again, maybe it was at the sandbar on theother side of the island.
See you at next year’s AquaPalooza, maybe atElliot Key.

SEPTEMBER 200910 W A T E R F R O N T - N E W S . C O M
NEW YORK (AP) — So you're looking for a uniquevacation, something where you'll get to see a lot of sites fornot a lot of cash
How about a slow boat to China? (Or Brazil or Europeor Australia...)
A number of cargo ship companies make their freightersavailable for a limited number of guests traveling to a num-ber of exotic destinations, sometimes for less money than aconventional cruise. And don't worry; you won't have to swabthe decks.
Many ships that take on passengers are more equippedthan one would think. You'll have you're own room and gen-erally some other perks including TV and movies, readingand exercise rooms. And often with less than 10 passengers,you'll likely get very personal attention including sharingmeals with the ship's crew and personal tours of the “guts” ofa working freighter.
Heck, some even have a pool.There's also the enjoyment of peace and quiet on the
high seas, lounging on the deck all day with no real plannedactivities other than meals. Though, you'll have to share thatdeck with massive cargo containers that sometimes make fora less-than-majestic view.
Sure, it's not for everyone. There's no Elvis imperson-ator, bingo games or formal dinner here. These aren't five-staraccommodations with turndown service. But there are inter-esting experiences to be had, and a look at life that you mightotherwise never get to see.
But cargo ships don't take direct routes to postcard-per-fect sunny destinations. Cruises range from two weeks to fivemonths, depending on the locations and number of ports.
And when you get to these far off destinations, don'texpect to land in a sea of souvenir shops on a combedwhite-sand beach. These freighters are hauling cargo, and
they often dock in industrial ports far off from majortourist destinations.
But most ships will let passengers disembark for sight-seeing depending on the length of call.
How to bookCargo cruises will require a little more advanced plan-
ning than a traditional sea jaunt. Many require at least 4
months advanced booking. And they also aren't as easy tofind as traditional cruises. Cruises are available through aselect number of travel agents and Web sites, though.
Sites like FreighterCruises.com and FreighterWorld.comhave huge databases of shipping companies that carrypassengers, as well as shipping lines sorted by destinationand duration.
The bottom dollarA trip on a freighter will generally run you around
$100 per day, which is comparable to traditional cruisealthough prices have fallen as demand has been snipped inthe recession.
All your meals are included as with a traditionalcruise line and you'll get to eat with the crew, which canbe an experience all in itself. But although meals are gen-erally hearty and varied, special diets often can't beaccommodated.
But trips from the ship into towns aren't included inmost packages. Passengers have to arrange their own trav-el once the ship reaches its various ports.
Some sample fares:Freighter World Cruises Inc. offers short cruises of
nine- or 12-days all the way up to 124-day excursions,some including airfare and sightseeing in various ports.There are plenty of cheap options including a 28-day tourof the Mediterranean for as little as $3,192 for doubleoccupancy. The 124-day journey runs as high as $17,925for a suite.
Cargo ships may offer a cheaper, more varied cruise experience

Watson Island.Favorite local spots to go boating?Our favorite place to sail is in Biscayne Bay. Favorite des-
tinations are Boca Chita Key, Elliott Key and all the FloridaKeys. Boca Chita is a great place for snorkeling on the oceanside and exploring the bay side. It also boasts an ornamentallighthouse that is opened by park officials for self-guidedtours on the weekends.
How far have you traveled on your boat?The Gulf side of the Florida Keys.Who accompanies you aboard?Friends, family and coworkers. How did you get involved in boating?Growing up on Snapper Creek Lake in the Kendall sub-
urb of Miami.What’s the one item that you can't live without on
your boat?A good bottle of wineScariest experience on the water?Being passed a spare outboard motor from a big catama-
ran under full sail in the middle of the featherbed channel.Two very beamy boats in a narrow channel going over 10knots. We didn't drop it!
Most memorable experience?A recent full moon night sail, beautiful night and per-
fect wind.What do you like least about South Florida boating?Inconsiderate boaters who don't know the rules of navi-
gating, especially through bridges!What do you like most?Miami's Biscayne Bay is one of the best places to sail in
the U.S. It's also the gateway to some of the most beautiful,natural waters this country has to offer: the Florida Keys. I feelvery fortunate to have both of these treasures right in my ownbackyard to enjoy with my family and friends!
Your dream destination?My pick would have to be the Marquesas Keys. We real-
ly want to get a couple of weeks off after hurricane season tosail to the Marquesas Keys and explore these amazing islandsthat are only 30 miles west from Key West, but a world awayfrom civilization.

After the walk, Campbell had breakfast (French toastwith sugar-free syrup, vanilla yogurt, a banana and DietCoke) and then joined a group going on a three-hour bikeride. Ronen Ostro, at 18 the oldest camper here, is amongthose opting for a marathon of other activities instead of bik-ing. Like nearly everyone else here, weight has always beenan issue.
In second grade, he was already 120 pounds; by eighthgrade, he was 216. He was about 343 when he arrived atWellspring from his home in Lincolnwood, Ill. By the sixthweek, he had shed 45 pounds to weigh in at 298.
He was tired of not getting picked for three-on-threebasketball games, of getting picked last in gym class, and of
passing up biking with friends along Lake Shore Drive inChicago because he'd get out of breath. He wanted to get onthe right track before starting college in late August.
“This is my last chance to really change,” he said.It was floor hockey first for Ostro, then a weight-train-
ing circuit, volleyball, dodgeball and an aerobic circuit, allbefore lunch. He didn't hesitate to take off his black PhatFarm shirt at the pool, or to offer tips to a camper havingtrouble with serving a volleyball. For the first time, he feltlike a leader.
“The kids here look up to me,” he said. “It's much easi-er to be more comfortable with yourself here.”
By now, many campers have already departed, and evenwith recent additions, only 15 remain. Besides the physicalactivities, they attended group and private counseling ses-sions and cooking and nutrition classes. Campers variedwildly in sizes and those with less to lose are seen as exam-ples of what could be for those who are heavier.
“People say, 'I would do anything to be 147,”' saidLindy Magiera, a 14-year-old from Jacksonville who lost 24pounds in her first six weeks. She shaved the time it takesher to run a mile from 13:35 to 9:30, wants to try out for herhigh school soccer team and is already planning to work outwith a friend at home.
Still, over lunch, she worries about what it will be likereturning to the real world.
“Everyone at home, they kind of just eat whatever theywant,” she said.
As the day wore on, Wellspring campers attended grouptherapy (“What happens in group, stays in group,” the coun-selor tells them) and swim. Tonight, campers will gather fora weekly ritual, where campers are elevated to new levels,which come with field trips and additional phone andInternet privileges. But first, dinner.

Health WaveBY MATT SEDENSKYAssociated Press Writer
ST. PETERSBURG (AP) — The campers here moni-tored how many steps they took and how many calories theyingested, aimed to eat zero fat, watched no television and roseeach morning around 6. They saw their families once at mostthis summer, were limited in their phone and Internet use, andwent through hours and hours of activity each day.
But, for once, it felt so good to be normal.For overweight teens and preteens, weight-loss camps
like Wellsprings Florida are more than just a chance to trans-form their bodies. They rebuild self-confidence, escape therelentless teasing of skinny classmates, participate in sportsthey were too ashamed to try and get a glimpse of the youththey've always wanted.
“A lot of them are used to being the social outcast,” saidIan Taylor, the 27-year-old camp director. “They have theirlittle group of friends, but they're generally not accepted.”
But not here.Before the clock struck 7 a.m., campers already gathered
in a circle to stretch. They went on an hourlong walk throughthe quiet neighborhood around the Admiral FarragutAcademy, the military boarding school where the camp isbased. And in the middle of the pack was Melenda Campbell,a 16-year-old from Jensen Beach, who dropped 28 pounds to212 pounds in her first six weeks. She is 5-foot-4.
Campbell has struggled with weight her whole life. Asa 4-year-old, she remembers being caught hiding behind acouch with a can of cake frosting. Her mom suggested thecamp (which costs $9,190 for eight weeks) and she enthusi-astically said yes. She's lost more weight than ever before,run her first mile (then two miles), and says she's been struckby how positive and motivating other campers have been.
“I wouldn't want to come here with half the kids at myhigh school, because they'd just murder you,” saidCampbell, wearing light blue heart-adorned sunglassesnearly the same color as the eyes they mask. “There aresome times when I feel like I like it so much that I feel likeI don't want to leave.”

more of an event. There's the whole pompand circumstance about drinking wine out ofa glass and I think it will change your percep-tion of the wine tasting, but I don't think itactually changes the wine.”
These days, Riedel has an extensive lineof wine glasses, including one designedspecifically for Oregon pinot noir after pro-ducers in that region made a case their wineswere unique enough to merit the distinction.
Wesson agrees that glass shape affectsaromatics to some extent and calls Riedelglasses “beautiful.” But glass shape can'tchange the ultimate degree of pleasure thatyou take from drinking, he said, calling winetasting “a binary exercise — thumbs up orthumbs down.”
He needs “four glasses on my desertisland.” Stemless for everyday drinking,an all-purpose wine glass for red, one witha slightly larger bowl for white and a flutefor bubbly.
BY MICHELLE LOCKEAssociated Press Writer
OAKVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Can a fanci-er glass add class to your wine?
Stemware manufacturers certainly thinkso, offering varietal-specific designs that sup-posedly enhance whatever you care to quaff.
To Maximilian Riedel (rhymes with nee-dle), CEO of Riedel Crystal, a glass is the“messenger” that shapes and delivers wine ina nuanced manner influenced by slightchanges in the design, such as a bigger bowlor narrower rim.
“There is no one glass that can showcaseevery wine,” he said as he led a recent tastingseminar in the Napa Valley.
Conventional wisdom holds thatsparkling wines keep their bubbles better inskinny flutes. Heavier whites, such as achardonnay, usually are served in glasseswith a fairly large bowl; red wines generallyare served in “tulip” style glasses, with therim slightly narrower than the bowl. Andthere are plenty of variations of each.
But there also are plenty of skeptics.“The glass doesn't know what kind of
wine is in there,” points out Joshua Wesson, aformer sommelier and co-founder of BestCellars, wine stores selling inexpensivewines. “Good wine is good wine and goodtaste will win out regardless of the vessel.”
There's not a lot of science on the sub-ject, hardly surprising since wine tasting ishighly subjective.
Greg Hirson, an enology graduate stu-dent at the University of California, Davis,recently studied how glass shape affects thesmell of a wine (smell is a considerablecomponent of flavor). He analyzed aromacompounds in the “headspace” or upperportion of a glass, then had human testerssniff the wine.
The shape of the glass did seem to havesome effect. A glass with a wider bowl (base)and narrower rim, say a typical Bordeauxglass, did seem to make wine more intense tothe human testers. But the effect was small,and, Hirson points out, intensifying flavordoesn't guarantee improved taste.
Which is not to say he doesn't like a finewine in a fine glass.
“There's certainly an emotional aspect totasting wine out of an expensive glass,” hesaid. “You feel differently. You feel like it's
Purists: To really appreciate wine, you need the right glassHealthy Galley.
On the other hand, Mary Ewing-Mulligan, owner and president ofInternational Wine Center in New York, has“dozens” of wine glasses at home.
She concedes that thinking about glassshape “is a little bit geeky,” but is con-vinced that glass design can affect winetaste, to the point that she once took herown glasses to a favorite restaurant thatwas using inferior stemware.
“The glass definitely is the delivery sys-tem and the process of delivering is definite-ly relevant,” she said.

AP Photo/ERIC RISBERGConnoisseurs maintain that the right glass imparts more flavor to a fine wine. Less fussy drinkers say it’s about the wine, not the glass.
BY J.M. HIRSCHAP Food Editor
Wine snobs love to obsess over glass-ware, a fussy and pretentious habit that hasbred an industry of designer glasses intend-ed to enhance the drinking of one grapevarietal or another.
They're probably right. And if you'redrinking $200 bottles and want to be per-snickety about the inward or outward curveof your glass and what that does to the bou-quet of your wine, have at it.
Since I gravitate more to $10 bottles, thatseems like a lot of wasted worry. A decentdaily drinking wine can be sloshed into andslurped out of just about any glass container,so why not have some fun and save somecash when stocking up on glassware?
The best way to do this is to checkyour pantry, which often is jammed withglassware-in-waiting that otherwise will betossed out or recycled. I'm talking mustard,pickle, jam and other food jars.
Pull off the labels, give them a goodwashing and you've got chic stemless wineglasses. Free.
This doesn't break a whole lot of newground. Folks have been serving up drinks- sometimes with a splash of irony - in can-ning jars for ages. And throughout Europe
the basic tumbler is the de facto wine glassof many homes and restaurants.
But in this tough economy, it's worthlooking at ways to get more out of thethings we already buy. So I recently trolledthe supermarket and searched for jarredfood that could have a second life as wineand cocktail glasses.
Three tips for making this work for you
First, pick a jar and stick with it.Serving wine in a dozen identical repur-posed jam jars looks funky, hip and slight-ly ironic. Serving it in a mismatchedhodgepodge of jars just looks messy, cheapand frat house-esque.
Second, get yourself some Goo Goneor other label remover. Life will be mucheasier. Just be sure to wash the jars wellafterward. Anything Goo Gone doesn't get,Bar Keepers Friend (a powdered kitchencleaner) will.
Finally, while smooth, round, wide-mouth jars are fine, there are plenty ofinteresting jars out there. Hunt for thosewith a unique shape, size or texture. Theinternational, pickle and jam aisles aregreat places to start.
Great glassware comes cheap

lose weight. She dropped about 24 pounds in her first sixweeks, to 136 pounds on her 5-foot-1 frame, and is eager tolose more.
“All my friends at home are way skinnier than me, andhere everyone's my size,” she said over chicken stirfry. “Iwish they knew how hard it is. They can just go out and eatan ice cream whenever they want and not gain a pound.”
Giaimo liked Wellspring so much she extended hersix-week stay to eight weeks. She can't keep from smilingwidely as she talks, her blue eyes glistening above sun-kissed cheeks.
After dinner, the campers gathered around the pool. Acounselor ticked off statistics on the hundreds of pounds lostand the millions of steps taken as the kids dangle their feetin the warm water.
Campbell, Giaimo and Ostro are all invited to take theirplace atop blue plastic diving blocks. They are being elevat-ed to “kahuna,” the highest level at Wellspring. And one byone, each shared their story.
Camp gave overweight kids a reprieve from insults“I was different from everyone else: I was the fat kid,”
Campbell said. “I knew that something had to be done,” saidGiaimo. “The teasing was unbearable,” added Ostro.
The campers earned a charm to mark their achieve-ment. They choose counselors who are forced, clothes on,into the pool. And then, they walked back to the dorms,across the palm-dotted campus, singing, smiling and final-ly feeling normal.
