No other pub-lication so fully covers lifestyles from the beaches of Galveston to the shores of Clear Lake.As our team gathered to re-imagine the magazine, we thought hard about what we wanted to achieve, which is to capture the culture of boats, beaches, bays and life on and off the water.We’ve kept the favorites — beau-tiful homes, Closet Confidential, Shutterbugs — and added many more. Sometimes, for example, a per-son’s boat tell us a lot about its owner. That’s why I love the new monthly feature Stem to Stern.Coastal living is about enjoying life, good friends, good food and good drink. Creative director/food stylist Alicia Cahill each month will whip up recipes with her feature The Galley. Another new monthly feature is Table Surfing, which focuses on a restaurant owner, chef or foodie. Writer Mark G. Hanna has joined the crew to bring us Down The Hatch, which is a lively and informative take on adult beverages. We’ve also added an educational and unpretentious wine column each month called The Tasting Room.Meanwhile, we’ve updated the design and typography and up-graded the paper to give Coast Monthly a better look and feel and to make it easier to read. With the launching of this issue, we’re committed to giving you more — more beautiful photos, more engaging stories and more interaction with us through social media, including Facebook, Pinter-est and Twitter. And check out our new website, www.coastmonthly.com. As I’ve said before, the best part of this magazine is the interaction with readers. Please stay in touch and offer feedback by emailing me at editor@coastmonthly.com.Laura ElderCoast Monthly editorIn wIth thE nEwPhOtO BY JEnnIFER REYnOLDSMaybe it’s the allure of the sea. Or perhaps it’s the idea of connecting with a stranger far away. But there’s some-thing irresistible about a message in a bottle. We asked Coast Monthly readers to share what their message in a bottle would be. Here are a few: Live, laugh, love and dance like no one is watching. Feel the sand between your toes and be grateful God made you a Texan. — Connie Place-HatmanLiving the dream in paradise. — Belinda Reyes SandovalDon’t look here for the booze, I already drank it. — Don WalkerBOI — Born (and blessed) On Island — forever in my heart, near or far. — Carol Egert JonesThis is my island, you’re welcome to be here as long as you take care of it. — Michelle CervantesPlease recycle. — Harry PalmerFeedbackWhen it comes to Thanksgiving, turkey is king. But what about the knights of the holiday round table: the side dishes? Coast Monthly wants to know what side dish reigns supreme on your holiday table and in your heart.
