. There has been a large increase
in the number of New
Jewrseyans who rely ' on

speeding or otherwise breaking the law, and
occasionally he is abje to help a boater in
distress.
His only reward is the satisfaction of knowing
he is doing a job that needs to be done. There is
no compensation, but the City does provide him
with gasoline and a used set of flashing red lights
taken from an old police car.
Ocean City has one of the busiest back bays in
the State and by establishing the Harbormaster
position and appointing Kranich to the post, the
City Commissioners addressed themselves to a
problem that has been growing out of proportion
in recent years. One man can not do the job
alone, but it is most certainly a start.
The trophy
The Ocean City Cup Tournament for surf
casters took place here last Saturday without
much fanfare and spectator interest, and that is
unfortunate because it is one of the longest
running sporting competitions in the country.
Each year the winners of the tournament have
their team name inscribed at the base of the
Ocean City Cup which was hand crafted at the
turn of the century and contains over 100 ounces
of silver. The cup is one of the most valuable
trophies in the world, having been assessed for
insurance purposes at over $30,000.
- The tournament is held completely on dry land
and judging is based on accuracy and distance.
The casters take their sport seriously and teams
come from up and down the East Coast to
compete.
The teams spend a full day here and cap their
event with an awards dinner, which each year is
held in a local restaurant. This year the dinner,
was held in Watson's restaurant. .
The event receives minimal coverage in the
area news media, and that is primarily because
of the nature of the sport not the enthusiasm that
the participants generate. >.
Why stand around watching a bunch of grown
men toss fishing lines on dry land when the.
Phillies are playing an important game on
'television? .
The participants each year don't seem to mind
the lack of public support for their sport. They
compete for the plaudits of their, peers, and for
the satisfaction it brings to themselves.
Surf casting is something of an art that in
many cases Is passed on from generation to
generation of fathers and sons TOO share the
same feeling for theiir sport. :
Summer is barbecue tune and hamburgers must be about
the number one outdoor barbecue item. The same old'
hamburgers get rather monotonous so it is always a pleasure
to come up with something different. .
Legend has it that barbecue cooking started when some
careless pig in China stumbled into a flre. Or something like
that. _:
