Get a chart or play around on google earth, get familiar with the waters and land marks. I'm going to try to get soem charts for eveyone who comes fown, with some personal notes written on them

Just be careful who you follow.

As groundings go, it was a good 'un. But yes, we went aground on an outgoing tide.

heres some listings for hotels in Mt Pleasant, they are near the Remeleys Point ramp, I haven't talked to any of them, I don't know how freindly they are for parking boats in the lot. You may want to ask them. If ya'll get together, you may be able to get a group rate. I know soem of ya'll will be asking for the seinor discount

the Shem Creek Inn looks pretty cool, I've never been in there, but its on the water near all the tourist eating places on Shem Creek , and no, you will not be able to tie your boat up there.

ya'll mostly be using remlys Point and Shem Creek if you're staying in Mt. P


Any hotels in downtown Charleston are going to be really high and boat parking will be limited. Hotels in N Charleston are a hit and miss, some are really nice, some you might get hit by some ones missed shot. I will ahve soem parking for trailers available in Mt. Pleasant for people who want to leave their boats in the water

Still trying to figure out what we are doing..

Looks like dad and I will be running the boat down from Little River and mom and my wife will be driving down.. Guess it all depends on weather. if its "colder" i'll just trailer the boat down

Thanks for the info Spare. I guess you are staying in your own bed. I was checking out rental houses online. Not too many on the ICW. Prices started at about $1200/wk. I would still like to open some dialog on where all the snaggers are gonna hole-up. How bout you RW? Ferm? Reel? I know it is still a little off time-wise, let the official role-call begin.
