...task even more difficult than preserving the wisdom of a vanishing culture: reviving an art that is already lost. The son of a Princeton physicist, Dyson, 38, was fascinated by 18th century accounts of Aleutian kayakers, who were said to have sustained speeds of 10 knots on the open ocean in their 15-ft. to 30-ft. craft, defying the apparent limits imposed by the length of the boat and human endurance. For two decades, Dyson, a self-taught boatbuilder, has worked to rediscover the technological secrets of these fabled vessels, or baidarkas, as Russian colonists called them...
...told Salem police he didn't know anything about a missing young woman last seen boarding his boat. Then he changed his story, admitting they had sailed together, claiming that she had fallen overboard and drowned. Then he disappeared. Days later, a lobster fisherman found the woman on the ocean floor with weights tied around her waist.

Eight homeowner groups are suing that sleepy coastal city, located 65 miles north of Los Angeles, to protest a new tax on beach properties determined in part by how close they are to the ocean. The "view tax," as the local press has dubbed it, was imposed in July to help maintain a 52-acre park along the beach. It will cost property owners closest to the water an extra $192 a year. The homeowner groups, comprising most of the 1,250 property holders affected...
Miami's South Beach is the center of the gourmet trend. Less than five years ago, SoBe's Ocean Drive had just one restaurant; now more than 35 bars, restaurants and cafes dot the beach, the best being Norman Van Aken's coolly modern A Mano. Regulars at the year-old hot spot dig into Vietnamese spring rolls with seared, black sesame seed-coated swordfish, or rum-painted grouper with a tangy-sweet mango mojo and crispy plantain curl. "The idea is for chefs trained in Old World methods to use New World ingredients," Van Aken says...
