    ISSUE ONE ISSUE PARK GROVE 4 5 WORDS Dr. Paul George, Ph.D. little more than a century ago, Greater Miami was a vast wilderness with small clusters of hardy settlers living along the shores of Biscayne Bay. One of those communities was Coconut Grove, which, since the late nineteenth century, has enjoyed a reputation as south Florida’s A most attractive, dynamic and independent-minded community. Its natural setting is unrivaled, for Coconut Grove looks out from behind lush subtropical foliage toward the turquoise waters of the Bay. The province of Tequesta Indians until recent centuries, Coconut Grove was, by the early nineteenth century, a favorite stop for mariners attracted to the bubbling fresh water springs on its waterfront. After the Cape Florida Lighthouse opened in 1825, light keepers and their assistants became frequent visitors to Coconut Grove. Wreckers or salvagers of disabled ships also visited the area. By the middle decades of the nineteenth century, It was Munroe who suggested to his British friends Coconut Grove’s first known permanent residents, that they open a guest house in the area for its Edmund (“Ned”) and Ann Beasley, lived along its ever-growing number of visitors. The Peacocks bay front in the area around today’s Barnacle State opened the Bay View Inn, a simple wood frame Park. When Ned died, Ann rented a portion of their structure, in 1882 in today’s Peacock Park. It was property to Dr. Horace Porter, a onetime Union the first “hotel” in the area. Some of the Inn’s early surgeon. Porter applied for a U.S.

    FEBRUARY 2008 • Year 24 Issue 11 ON BOARD… Keys Waypoints Classifieds 29 Commentary 6 Pink Cadillac Flyfishing in Event Calendar 20 cruises Islamorada Patagonia Galley 18 Tide Tables 21 4 17 Washington’s regatta honors traditional sailing craft BY BETH FEINSTEIN-BARTL Waterfront News Writer COCONUT GROVE — The Washington’s Birthday Regatta is more than a race. It brings a bit of history to life on Biscayne Bay. The event, entering its 13th year on Saturday, Feb. 23, commemorates an outing first organized by Coconut Grove pioneer Ralph Munroe in 1887. To honor the original regatta, participation is open only to traditional design vessels. “It’s a very nice nostalgic and peaceful day,” said Kendra Brennan, who co-chairs the regatta with hus- band, David. The couple are members of the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, which hosts the race with The Barnacle Historic State Park and its volunteer auxiliary, The Barnacle Society. Boats will set sail between 11 a.m. and noon from the park, at 3485 Main Highway in the Grove’s downtown district. From there, vessels will head out into the bay to compete in three heats on a triangle-shaped course. Keeping the event limited to seaworthy craft of tradi- tional design such as Mud Hens, Sea Pearls, Bullseyes, Bahama dinghies and gaff rigs, honors the regatta’s roots and the strong role that sailing played in the community, say organizers. “Sailing was very important to the early settlers,” Brennan said. “Coconut Grove was a wilderness. It was the easiest mode of transportation.” Photo/JOHN ADAMS The race draws about 15 entries from throughout The Egret, a replica of one of Ralph Munroe’s earliest boat designs, appears in the Washington’s Birthday Regatta Florida including a few renovated antique vessels.

The climate, terrain, and the lifestyle were comparable to the Bahamas. What differed from their homeland was the opportunity to find work. Many of these early settlers made their way to Key West before eventually coming to Coconut Grove for work.
