private in Polpis This compound was built and completed in 2000. Driving down the rambling stone drive lined with island wildflowers and evergreen vegetation, one realizes that they are arriving at a very special, one of a kind property. Sitting gently atop of one the Island’s highest knolls, one feels an amazing sense of peacefulness as this property backs up to hundreds of acres of Nantucket conservation land and looks over the quiet moors and salt marsh to views of the Harbor to Great Point. The shingle-style house is tucked into the tall natural grasses and has approximately 15,000 square feet of living space. A pleasing mix of styles of covered porches and gabled dormers share a post and beam refined barn like interior. The compound includes a berry patch garden, pool and spa area, children’s play area, an apple orchard, a tennis court, a duck pond, a trickling stream to cross, a barn, a labyrinth, organic vegetable garden, and rose garden.

N Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary mission is to offer entertaining, informative and visually pleasing content relating to Nantucket. However, there are times when it is important to go beyond our shores when events elsewhere have the potential to impact us here.

For this reason, our cover story features Philippe Cousteau, grandson of famed marine explorer Jacques Cousteau, who has been at the epicenter of the BP oil spill in the gulf. Cousteau shares his chilling underwater accounts of the crisis, and talks of both the current devastation and potential impact for Nantucket.

There are a surprising number of Nantucket connections to the BP spill. Island native Heather Thompson works for Transocean in the Gulf, BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drilling contractor on the ill-fated rig, and shares her observations with us. Joe Farrell owns Resolve Marine, which has been deployed to the Gulf for cleanup, and James Hackett, a summer resident and chairman of Anadarko Petroleum, which owns 25% of the failed BP â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Macondoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; well. Last, Cousteau spoke with harbormaster Dave Fronzuto who has already completed contingency plans in the event the oil finds its way to our shores.

In more traditional summer fare, photographer Joshua Blake captures the spirit of one of Nantucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old saltsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, lobsterman Chuck Butler, in a story written by Robert Cocuzzo. Consistent with our water theme, copy editor Cris Farley covers what we call the Cisco Surferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society, a hardy group of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;olderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; surfers who clearly demonstrate that surfing is not only timeless but ageless.

For those who believe exercise is the key to longevity, Dr. Greg Hinson shows us his photographic skills in covering the latest Nantucket triathlon. The rigors of the triathlon contrast with our other exercise feature, Body, Mind, Core, in which writer Susan Bartkowiak offers us the various Yoga, Pilates and dance options available on the island.

In this issue we are up in the air with two stories about airplanes; one features the new Caravan service from Island Airline and Tradewind Aviation and the second features an extraordinary catered lunch by the Brant Point Grill on a spectacular Citation Sovereign jet, beautifully framed by acclaimed LA photographer, Stephen Danelian.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll shake the martinis.

The view will stir your senses.

Last, nothing is more romantic than summer love on an island, and noted Hollywood cinematographer Russ Alsobrook captures this spirit in a photo essay featuring some of the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hottest fashions.

If there is to be any positive result of the gulf disaster, it is a heightened appreciation of our environment and a new appreciation for Nantucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vigilance over our own waters. In the spirit of both respect for the environment and shameless self-interest, we ask that you keep this issue, the largest-ever produced by N Magazine since it was founded eight years ago.

On behalf of our entire team, enjoy the rest of your summer and take the time to appreciate how pristine is our island.

Born with the name Cousteau, Philippe Cousteau’s destiny was clear at an early age. He made his first ocean dive at age 11 and eagerly embraced his family’s legacy and relationship with the sea.

The BP oil disaster has catapulted Cousteau into the limelight, as he has become the go-to person on network television with his reports from the Gulf on the leak and the environmental devastation that is occurring in its wake.

Cousteau’s passion is his non-profit foundation, EarthEcho International, which was designed to educate young people about the environment, a cause that he believes keeps alive the legacy of his late father Philippe, Sr. and grandfather, Jacques.

In an interview which took place on a boat while touring Nantucket harbor, N Magazine heard Cousteau’s chilling account of the disaster and its possible implications for Nantucket.

OIL FLOWS FROM THE GULF TOWARD THE EAST COAST Despite apparent progress in capping the BP well, two studies suggest the potential spread of the oil to the East Coast and Nantucket in the coming months.

Philippe with Senator John Kerry

A series of computer simulations on the possible spread of the oil spill over the course of one year was published July 6th by a team of researchers from the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawai’I at Manoa. The results are chilling, and potentially disastrous for the East Coast and our island.

According to Alex Timmerman, a researcher with SOEST, “The oil spreads initially in the Gulf of Mexico, then enters the Loop Current and the narrow Florida Current, and finally the Gulf Stream. After one year,” he continues, “ about 20% of the particles initially released at the Deepwater Horizon location have been transported through the Straits of Florida and into the open Atlantic.”

that had coagulated. All this was punctuated by dead fish, jellyfish, oil covered sargassum and seaweed which danced around in the surface current which confirmed our worst fears. I knew that this catastrophe would be more devasting than anyone realized.

From where we sit on Nantucket, less than 100 miles west of the Gulf Steam, these two studies, however simulated, reach the same conclusion; that if the oil enters the Gulf Stream it will continue inexorably north up the East Coast and then east to Europe. In the nautical sense, 100 miles is not a large buffer between the Gulf Stream and our shores, and

Born in Nantucket and a former employee of the Maria Mitchell Aquarium, Heather Thompson has always been in love with the sea.

An oceanography major at Maine Maritime Academy, she graduated with a Bachelor of Science and a third mate license of ‘Steam or Motor Vessels of any Gross Tonnage of Oceans.’

Thompson, who is qualified to captain ships sixteen times the size of the Nantucket ferry, now works for the infamous Transocean as a dynamic positioning operator on the 835-foot Discover Deep Seas drill ship. In Thompson’s eyes, the relief effort was hindered by bureaucracy because at the time BP was forced to “abandon ship” it lost its authority to implement a response plan, which then became under the authority of the Coast Guard. According to Thompson, the hole spewed oil for six full days without any containment effort, even Heather Thompson

Heather’s perspective of the disaster was indeed a close one. Two months prior to returning to Nantucket for her wedding, she was stationed aboard the drilling ship “Deep Sea” when a report came over the radio.

“There’s been an incident on the Deepwater Horizon and you need to secure your communications.” That was how Second Mate Heather Thompson first learned of the explosion that may go down as the greatest environmental disaster in history, the explosion of the British Petroleum

As such, Spyder is, arguably, the Duke Kahanamoku of surfing on Nantucket. Just as that legendary guru energized and spread the popularity of surfing in Hawaii almost a century ago, so has the 66-year-old Spyder lent a sense of history and continuity to surfing here. He also shares the hard-to-define draw of the ocean and the sport that entices the Cisco sisterhood.

Focusing on the core muscles for strength and balance was a natural fit for the dancers. The links between the body and mind in Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s methodology are echoed by scientific findings. Dancing, with its creative expression, has been tied by The New England Journal of Medicine to a lower risk of dementia by increased blood flow to the brain, lowered stress levels and mental challenges by memorizing steps. We could all benefit from dance classes; no one likes to be at a party and watch from the sidelines while others twirl effortlessly on the floor. Learning a few simple steps can be translated into many forms of dances and anyone can learn them.

Yoga, Pilates and dance are alive and well on Nantucket,

Minutes after facing death and despite battling the onset of hypothermia, Butler hauled another 40 traps for the sake of his rattled mate.

Butler’s harrowing story compels a blunt but unavoidable question: "Why do it?" Why did this man with a distinguished education choose one of the most difficult and dangerous occupations on earth? Butler’s answer is simple, and genuine. “I don’t care if I’m busting my tail on a grinder, I’m a lot happier on the water than when I’m not.”

“I

don’t care if I’m busting my tail on a grinder, I’m a lot happier on the water than when I’m not.

”

Butler connects to the historic fraternity of Nantucket mariners who were seduced by

life on the water. It is not the income the job

provides that drives these fishermen, but the experience. “I’ve made it to 65 without ever

having a job in my life," Butler muses. “I just go for boat rides. And I still just get a gas being out there. You see tuna out there, and whales, and sea turtles. There are all kinds of gannets diving on things and buoys bouncing around the boat. You see all kinds of strange things out there.”

Butler has also seen the island evolve from a tight-knit fishing community to the bustling vacation destination it is today. Though the drive down to the dock may be a little more congested, life on the ocean hasn’t changed much. The old salt climbs aboard the Merlin

carbon emissions, air transportation, 20%. Not only is our environment affected but our health and community as well, so a localvore has many good reasons to eat locally grown and produced food. There are fewer fossil fuels used in transporting and packaging the food, it supports our local community and it is healthier as processing and preservatives are infrequently used. What’s more, since the food doesn’t have to travel as far, it tastes especially fresh!

Localvores on Nantucket are fortunate to have plenty of farms to choose from when cooking at home, and when eating out it is a comforting notion that there are a good number of restaurants involved in the movement. While these chefs and owners are busy making sure what is on the stove is delectable, they are also nursing young plants to ensure they have control over the freshest ingredients.

Perhaps the ultimate statement as to the virtues of the Caravan is Tradewind’s use of the craft in their flights from Puerto Rico to St. Barths, a destination frequented in the winter by a significant number of fortunate Nantucket summer residents. If you have ever braved the narrow approach and steep descent into the St. Barths airport you will understand why the Caravan is the only way to fly.

And for those with a need for speed Tradewind also offers service throughout the Northeast and Caribbean with their Pilatus PC 12, a highly touted Swiss plane known for its speed, economy and comfort.

According to Dave Zipkin, Vice President of Tradewind, “The Pilatus travels at 300 miles per hour yet is dramatically more affordable than jet charters. It is clearly an intelligent way to fly,“ he said. Some say it’s the journey in life, not the destination. But in the case of flying into Nantucket, it’s both.

TRI-ING TIMES

ON NANTUCKET

Over 700 compete in 2nd annual Sprint Triathlon

Written and Photographed by Dr. Greg Hinson

For some people, rest and relaxation are not in their DNA. Their idea of a day at the beach is a quarter-mile swim at Jetties Beach, immediately followed by a 14-mile bike ride out to Madaket and back and a 5K run around Brant Point. Triathletes are truly a different breed, but Nantucket had over 700 of them July 10th as they competed in the island’s second annual Nantucket Sprint Triathlon.

Hot, humid weather greeted the athletes on the day of the race, which was moved from June to July for this year to take advantage of warmer waters and a lull in the summer island activities schedule following the 4th of July weekend. All indications were that despite the heat, and the number of racers, which increased from 500 in 2009, the event was a resounding success.

Close to 100 islanders competed, along with the newest U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown, who finished the course in 1 hour, 23 minutes, 11 seconds, good for 38th place overall and third place in his 50-54 age group.

Andrew Noble, an Australian triathlete who relocated to Weymouth, Mass. with his family, took top honors in 1:04:35, and Danielle O’Dell, a wildlife biologist and researcher with the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, was the first female finisher in 1:19:22.

Race organizers Jamie Ranney and Bill Burnett, who received approval from the Board of Selectmen to enlarge the field this year, also garnered the support of major sponsors like The Steamship Authority, Saucony, Jet Blue and Gillette, and enlisted the aid of dozens of island residents and special police, all of whom helped make the expanded second-year event run without a hitch.

Signs throughout the bike and run course, police presence on each traffic corner, mile markers and frequent aid stations all helped ensure that each triathlete had a fun, and safe, race.

For Jamie Ranney, founder of the event, and himself a triathlete the triathlon is all about pushing yourself to the limits. “It’s the thought of seeing where the physical meets the mental and how to push through and keep going when everything you’ve ever physically felt is telling you to stop.”

“It’s the thought of seeing where the physical meets the mental and how to push through and keep going when everything you’ve ever physically felt is telling you to stop.”

MD: When I graduated from South Carolina, I was going to go to law school, but I wanted to try to make the NBA first, and I did. Then, when I knew my career was ending, and I now had a family to support, I decided I wouldn’t go to law school. I had worked on Wall Street for a number of off-seasons, so I went there full-time and went through Merrill’s MBA training program, where I worked at a trading desk for two years.

HOME STYLE Written and Photographed by Stephen Danelian

T

he devil is in the details. If there were a design mantra that best describes the philosophy of long time summer

resident Elise Gura this would be it.

From a tiny matchbox cover featuring the address of her 1890’s farmhouse to the perfect position of an old wine bottle on a rustic pine cabinet, Elise relies on her keen eye in creating her ‘farmhouse eclectic style’.

“If you have an eye, you can source anything. Great taste does not necessarily mean having to spend a fortune.” Elise sources objects from the world around her including garage sales and thrift shops but also relies on local antique shops to complete her palette. Rustic yet stylish, rich looking yet affordable Elise’s look is authentic and comfortable.

Her look reflects the simplicity of old Nantucket yet remains timeless.
