In 1805, Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort of the British Royal Navy developed a 13° scale to measure the strength of wind at sea. Updated and modernized, the scale is still used for approximating wind speed. Speed at sea is measured in knots, with one knot equal to 1.15 miles-per-hour. The Atlantic hurricane season runs June thru November.

That summer weather is finally here, Piloters. We are glad to get this issue out and into your hands with all that the season brings us in water recreation.
This little book includes four new feature articles for your pleasure including how to recover that Apple Watch you dropped in the water, a waterside Tillery hangout for the entire family, the best places to watch unforgettable Fourth of July shows on all the lakes in our coverage area, and how faith and perseverance built a local dealership into a one-stop, year-round service and sales location for area boaters.
Had I had the correct level of responsibility or at least the knowledge of the existence of The Dive Guys on Lake Tillery back in 2016, I probably could have saved myself nearly $1,000. After an exhausting day on the water, me and some other fellas I was boating with that day decided to play a little game.
“Keep it up,” one of my buddies yelled as we all cheered in agreement at the mention of our own on-the-water drinking game where a Nerf football is passed around by foot and kept off the ground. The one to drop it chugs their entire beer, rinse, repeat - except for the DD.
Fast-twitch movements while kicking stuff around after drinking on a boat much of the day is a recipe for disaster in any scenario, but the reward of fun outweighed the risk here.
Fast forward through the game to when I pulled my phone out to try and get a video of the debauchery as the ball was coming my way. It couldn’t have been more perfect timing as the ball approached my hand and swiftly removed my phone from it.
As the phone flew through the air, seemingly in slow motion, it received not one, not two but three kicks from my fellow players trying to keep it in the boat before skyrocketing over the stern and into the Tillery waters.
We all dove in trying to play a new game: search and recovery … to no avail.
Thirty minutes from home, with no GPS and no phone store in sight on a Saturday I was thrown into the dark ages. The following week I made it to a dealer to grab a new phone at full price with no insurance or extra coverage. Oh, The Dive Guys, where were you!?
Anyway, check out those salvage resources later in the book followed by a feature article on Race City Marine and how Matt and Lynette Santomenna built a Goliath of a business off of their unwavering faith and instinct in providing all-around customer service out in Mooresville. Don’t forget the fireworks!!

The Boat House at Lake Tillery is “all you need for a day on the lake,” according to its Facebook page.
The lakeside restaurant, bar and gas destination serves pizza, wings, sandwiches and burgers to customers enjoying the beautiful overlook of Lake Tillery’s water.
The Boat House has something for everyone, including indoor seating, outdoor tables, a small, sandy beach with a grassy patch for the kids and a separate stage pavilion for its musical guests to serenade customers with live music.
With nearly 20 docking stations and a large parking lot, guests from land or lake can pull up for a quick drink at the bar and enjoy a few appetizers from The Boat House’s 17 choices including shrimp, onion rings, fried okra, fried pickles and other fried options.
If you decide to stay a while, make sure to savor the loaded pizza and hot dogs and finish the meal off with a scoop or two of ice cream. You can also ask about their other local homemade desserts.
Don’t miss a chance to peruse The Boat House’s adjoining shop, which sells life jackets, floating mats, bathing suits and other goods to make your day at Lake Tillery an
unforgettable adventure.
“Great place to enjoy live music and a cold beer,” one Google review said. “They carry all your fishing needs including gas. The pizza and food is great. They have hand-dipped ice cream. Amazing atmosphere. The owners are wonderful people and make sure it’s safe and child friendly. A must visit while on Lake Tillery!!”
Make your mark on The Boat House by signing your name on a dollar bill to join the hundreds of others covering the restaurant’s walls and rafters.
The Boat House team also contributes to the community, having hosted multiple charity events and in 2023 supporting 28 local families with gifts and donations during their annual Christmas Project. They’re even known to throw birthday celebrations for regulars!
“This little place is the reason why I prefer Tillery over Norman or Wiley,” another review raved. “The food is good. The vibes are good. The staff is excellent.”

There’s no holiday like the Fourth of July, and where better to watch a patriotic firework display than on the water? The Piedmont lakes offer a number of options for you and your family to watch lakeside or from whichever watercraft you find yourself floating on that Thursday evening.
The best part about watching fireworks on the lake? The reflection on the water makes for two shows in one!

Fourth of July Celebration
Whitewater Center Parkway, Charlotte
Known for their classic two-day celebration, the US National Whitewater Center has races, activities, live music and an incredible fireworks display right on the shores of the Catawba River.
Back in 2008, Matt Santomenna had worked in the corporate world for 20 years when he and his wife Lynette began to feel a calling to do something greater.
“We felt like the Lord was leading us to change what we were doing,” Matt recalls. “I wanted to get back to my roots; my roots were Nautiques and ski boats and spending time on the water with the family.”
They answered that call, building on that toolbag to launch Race City Marine in Mooresville, a boat repair and dealership that they have grown over 16 years into a regional boat dealership and faith-driven business that not only gives families a one-stop shop for summer fun on the water but supports the greater community, offering unprecedented financial support to the Statesville-based Power Cross Ministries.
“It’s been such an amazing journey filled with faith and prayer and just persistence and following God’s plan one step at a time,” says Lynette.
Today, Race City Marine sells products from three topbrand boat companies — Nautique, Barletta and Chris Craft — becoming Mooresville’s premier family-ownedand-operated boat dealership, serving customers in both North and South Carolina with all their boat needs, be it for wakesurfing, wakeboarding or cruising.
Now operating out of a beautiful, expansive 17,000-square-foot facility on River Highway in Mooresville, things started out much more humble for the Santomennas.
Their first facility featured a single bay before they quickly moved into a 4,800-square-foot space, sharing a building with another business.
Despite the space limitations — some staff members set up their respective workspaces inside of the boats they were selling — the Race City team succeeded thanks to their top-notch customer service and true care for the people they served.
Within a year, they had become the regional Nautique warranty service provider, then by 2010, they became a dealer for the widely beloved company.
Since then, they’ve moved into their new 17,000-squarefoot facility on nearly 11 acres in Mooresville, where they serve as a one-stop shop for families looking to enjoy the lakes around the Piedmont and beyond.
Built with the help of 20 Groups’ David Parker, the stateof-the-art facility includes a 7,200-square-foot showroom, a 5,800-square-foot service department, a conference room, a parts room, a pro shop, a break room and offices.
It’s a long way from having staff setting up their desks inside of boats.
“To see this versus where we are is amazing,” says Matt. “The facility now matches the product. We are able to give our customers the great experience that they deserve. Nautique does just an amazing job in the product. Now, when you look at the product and you walk in here, you know this is a Nautique dealership. You feel it.”
There are more subtle aspects that make Race City Marine a cut above the rest. Drainage on the floor allows staff to bring boats right into the building. An exhaust fan allows them to start up the engines to take a look at any issues. A test pool in the back allows staff to test the boat without ever taking it off the property.
“We can take a brand new boat, rig it, put it in a little test tank, test it, make sure everything’s 100% before we take it on its first ride,” says Matt. “That way we’re not wasting a bunch of time. It also allows us to test each boat after a customer comes in and we do their service work for them.”
Within the last year, they’ve also opened their storage facility, which allows them to offer year-round service. There’s no reason for Race City customers to go elsewhere.
“It’s a one-stop shop,” says Matt. “It’s an easy button. We push the easy button; give us a call. They buy the boat from us, we service the boat for them, and then we store it for the wintertime, and we do all the maintenance. So we’ve really become their one source of fun for the summertime.”
With great fun comes great responsibility, however, and the Santomennas always keep community and faith in mind while carrying out their work.
It was in 2016 that, following the word of God, Lynette came to Matt with the idea to tithe for every boat they sold.
That is how the Santomennas partnered with Power Cross Ministries, founded by Jeff and Natalie Storment in 2006 with a Bible study followed by dinner and a football game. It has since grown into a training and discipleship program that serves more than 350 young men every year from two locations — one in Salisbury and another in Statesville.
Serving hot meals daily, providing academic support, athletic development and daily Christian discipleship are the tools Power Cross uses to shape young lives everyday. Since its inception Power Cross has served over 200,000 meals, seen more than 3,000 salvations, and helped award over $8 million in scholarships to participants.
“They were needing money in the summertime, and we had the ability to give them money in the summertime,” says Matt of the partnership’s beginnings in 2016. “But we have [since] seen their ministry grow. We’ve seen our business grow and our tithe grow. It’s phenomenal. You cannot out-give God. It’s just been a tremendous thing.”
“I just feel so blessed,” adds Lynette. “It’s just such a blessing. It’s amazing to be here, to serve the community like this at this level.”
It’s been quite a road for the Santomennas, driven by faith and their belief in each other, which has cultivated a community of people who now work together to make Race City Marine Mooresville’s premier family-ownedand-operated boat dealership.
Their promise is to share their expert knowledge to help any and all customers make an informed boat-buying decision — no pressure, guaranteed.
“We have an amazing team here that’s here to serve each family. It’s grown way beyond you and I,” Matt says to his wife. “It used to be the dealership of Matt and Lynette, now it’s Team Race City Marine.”

It’s hard to ruin a nice day on the lake, but when you suddenly lose your wedding ring, Apple watch or an expensive pair of sunglasses, it can put a stop to the fun. Luckily, the Piedmont lakes are home to a number of small businesses that will come to the rescue and help you salvage what you’ve lost.
Depending on the lake, scuba diving to salvage items comes with no shortage of difficulties. This isn’t like finding something on the bottom of a pool, after all. Divers can run into issues including low visibility and needing to sift through debris on the lake floor left by all those other folks who have lost unclaimed items over the years — or the remains of whatever town, village or farm was there before the lake.
To give your diver the best chance of recovery, Tow Boat U.S. suggests you immediately note landmarks around the area where you lost your item or mark the spot on a map of the lake and record the depth it was lost in.
Specifically at Lake Norman, for example, the depths can change drastically within a short distance due to the mountainous terrain of the lake bottom, which makes pinpointing the location all the more important, according to the Tow Boat U.S. website.
Once you’ve got a location, choose from the resources here to help retrieve your lost treasure.
1. Lake Norman Scuba Diver
Lake Norman Scuba Diver will search and recover lost items in Lake Norman, Mountain Island Lake and surrounding waters.
Contact info: 704-458-5628; Lkndiver@gmail.com
2. Tow Boat U.S.
Lake Norman’s Dive Services understand that each situation is different. “This makes it difficult to estimate a job without understanding the details,” their website says. “So give us a call to discuss your diving needs.”
Contact info: 704-200-1930
1. The Dive Guys
The Dive Guys will free-dive for lost treasure up to 30 feet in Lake Tillery. The pair of brothers live up to their tagline: “You lose it, we find it,” posing with gold bracelets, Apple watches, pontoon doors and more on their Facebook page.
Contact info: 980-271-1632
1. Lake Hickory Scuba & Marina
Lake Hickory Scuba is the only underwater salvage crew on the lake. According to its website, the company’s professional divers can recover anything “from small items like keys or cell phones, to body recovery or vessel recovery, to even surveying around your dock, we are your one stop shop for Salvaging and Under Water Surveying.”
Contact info: 828-632-7649; info@lakehickoryscuba.com
1. Carolina Speciality Diving Services
Andy Monosso specializes in recovery of lost items as well as larger boat recovery and inspection.
Contact info: Andy Monosso, 828-460-7167
1. Land & Sea Recovery Services
Cory Devereau and his team travel the country on “tour” to recover lost items without charging clients the mileage to get there. Call to see if he’s in town and is available to take your case. His website ensures, “If you’ve given up hope, you haven’t called ME yet.” Land & Sea Recovery Services’ consultations are free and its team will not take your case if they don’t think they can recover your lost property.
