Bimini Big Game Club Now Serving Guy Harvey re:newal Spring Water in 100% Compostable Bottle
22 Apr 20113:52 PM
Guy Harvey and re:newal premium spring water are proud to offer a U.S. sourced premium spring water that uses a 100% plant-based compostable bottle.
Launched in February 2011, the Guy Harvey special edition re:newal premium spring water product will raise funds for ocean conservation programs by donating 10% of the proceeds from each bottle sold directly to the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation. The GHOF funds inspired scientific research and innovative educational programs to help ensure that future generations will enjoy and benefit from a naturally balanced ocean ecosystem where fish and other marine wildlife flourish.
re:newal premium spring water packages pure spring water in a bottle made from plants, not petroleum. Most importantly, re:newal bottles offer more end-of-life options for consumers, who now have the ability to recycle, compost, incinerate or re-use their bottles.

The <a title="GHRI web site" href="http://www.nova.edu/ocean/ghri/" target="_blank">Guy Harvey Research Institute</a> served as one of the many original sponsors of the effort to make the USS Kittiwake an artificial reef.

In 1695 only two years after she was built, the crew of the HMS Winchester were struck by scurvy. With the death of many and her crew greatly weakend she wrecked on a reef just south of Carysfort Light. Her remains are visible in 28 feet of water inside Penekamp Park.

![](mailto:?subject=Yo Ho Ho! and Multiple Bottles of Rum at the Blazing Mako&body=By Sue Cocking, Guy Harvey Outpost travel journalist
scocking@guyharveyoutpost.com
Flats, offshore and pier fishing; paddleboarding; art and "Conch-servation" exhibits-- all are great reasons to attend the Blazing Mako Tournament and Festival June 17-19 at the Islander, a Guy Harvey Outpost in Islamorada. But if you are 21 or older, be sure to stop by the Rum Village where you can taste some new and old renditions of the favorite spirit of the islands.
Papa's Pilar--a brand launched in South Florida in 2013--will present its dark and blonde rums (and possibly some samples of a special release) in the Rum Village. In partnership with author Ernest "Papa" Hemingway's descendants, the company named the spirits for the writer and the fishing boat in which he famously fished Cuba's offshore waters in the mid-20th century. The rums are sourced from the U.S., Caribbean, and Central America and aged and blended in a unique solara process using American oak bourbon barrels, port wine casks, and then finished in Spanish sherry casks.
Besides winning spirits industry awards, Papa's Pilar supports literacy and conservation: the Hemingway family donates 100 percent of its royalties to those causes.
Kyle Groth, the company's marketing chief, said being a sponsor of the Blazing Mako fishing seminar and back country tournament is a perfect fit because proceeds from the event benefit scholarships for marine science students at Nova Southeastern University through the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation.
"It's totally in line with what we stand for," Groth said. "The education, conservation, and preserving the rivers, the seas and the fisheries."
Groth said Papa's Pilar plans to expand its South Florida presence by opening a distillery and brand center in Key West--(Hemingway's former home)--later this year.
<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Pilar.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-4089 size-full" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Pilar.jpg" alt="Pilar" width="1015" height="677" /></a>
Another even newer South Florida brand featured at the Rum Village is Black Coral Rum, produced by the father-and-son team of Clint and Ben Etheridge of Riviera Beach and sponsor of the Blazing Mako tournament awards ceremony.
A craft spirit made in small batches, Black Coral Rum uses locally-grown sugarcane --no artificial ingredients --and a special carbon filtration process involving coconut husks. The spirit is aged in charred oak barrels. It takes lots of time, according to Ben Etheridge.
"Rum wasn't built in a week," he said.
The company donates $1 from every bottle sold to local military veterans' organizations. It also sponsors treasure dives around Florida
At the Blazing Mako, you can sample either white or spiced varieties neat or in cocktails. And Black Coral will be the main ingredient of tournament honoree Stu Apte's signature Rum Dumb Boogie Punch.
Also appearing in the Rum Village are Tiburon Rum, Bahama Blue Rum & Vodka, Gubba Rum, Pussers Rum, Bayou Rum, Yolo Rum, Code Rum, Tortugas Rum Cakes; Florida Keys Brewing Co.; Saltwater Brewery; Tito's Handmade Vodka; and
