The album of Ariel #422

[CapnK]

Hi Eric -

The PO was from Cali and had gotten the boat registered there, although it was up in Maryland at the time. That's an older pic - guess I need to edit those #'s off of there.

The marina is very liveaboard friendly (dog friendly, too ). It is in Georgetown, SC, here's their webpage: GLM . They are all great folks, come on up! Here's a pic of the area from Google Maps. The highway crossing the ICW and Bay here is Hwy 17, the marina is at th ebase of the left bridge, to the right of those pinkish upside-teardrops. We're about 45 mins north of Charleston, and 90 mins south of Wilmington. Good place, lots of room to sail, 12 miles to open ocean, and plenty o' hurricane holes just upriver. Slips available, and other than just liking the place and living there, I am not affiliated.

Damn, I drove right by you on my way back from Charleston last trip .
I prefer the "back way", US-17 instead of I-95 .

What a Bummer! You could have helped me get rid of some beer while we talked Ariel...

Let me know next time you're heading this way, we'll make some plans.

Thanks for your input, Kurt.

It only seems long-winded when you're writing. In the internet age we have all begun to talk in an abreviated fashion. It's nice to sit down and read a direct response that is not from a magazine or interoffice memo.

Living aboard for 7 months must challenging at times, yet, the most practical way to get the real world experience one needs to 'build' your boat around you. eg. the ridges in the bottom of the icebox. I will digest this post several different way and times before I make any more decisions on which way I'll proceed.

Thanks again.
