Charleston Get Together

the Charleston area is a breeze to navigate compared to NC, I grew up spending my summers around Sneeds Ferry NC, up there the channel was three feet, outside the channel was 2 and a half. Down here theres plenty of water and plenty of places to go. I'm waiting on planning an agenda based on what kind of weather we get that weekend. 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
 
I am trying to figure how to swing this, I do not trust my trailer for a long haul like that so hauling my HS Vector down there is probably not going to work.

Hey Willy... I'm thinking that we go with RW, let him drive while we sit in the back like Hoi-polloi, watch the vcr and drink his beer... :head:
 
I am liking that idea, poor RW, imagine him driving while too Vagabonds like us drinking all the way there
 
I want to go but I will need to wait and see whats going on at work??
I wonder if I can get CB to do it? I will drive!! :happy:

That is a semi workable plan fellas....Got your PM Willy I will give you a call tomorrow. Only problem is my truck has no back seat so we will be pretty cozy the whole way down....dont mind if you drink but I might have to rub one of ya'lls leg at some point.

Ok now I am really interested. The little one (8) has spring break the week before the 19th. The wife says get more info. So I would like some info and or input. Where is everyone gonna stay? I don't want to be the lone man out.
 
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:you:

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 :beer:, and no, you will not be able to tie your boat up there.


heres a listing of boat ramps

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.

I have a good friend that lives in Jacksonville that is planning on driving his RV up and we will be sleeping there is ther plan for right now... Should something come up with him last minute I will be looking for someplace close to the rest of you guys I guess. I would agree that it would be best to get everyone in as close an area as possible to facilitate the fun and games.
