Shhhh....many of them passing through SC thing of Florida as a
"destination". Why, I've never figured out because there's NOTHING THERE
but condos and the Ditch...?? Go figure.

===============================================

We stopped in Charleston on the trip north and were very impressed.
On the trip south however we wanted to stay further north until the
hurricane season passed, and by then we were in a hurry to get home.
SC is too cold in the winter for my taste, and home is in FL these
days. We're on a "ditch" but it is a nice one. :-)

Boats on delivery are paying crew by the day and just want to keep
moving.

As a resident and voter you should know that the Charleston County tax
office is engaging in some VERY hostile practices towards visiting
boats that may further discourage stop overs if they keep it up. Who
wants to get a 4 or 5 figure tax due notice just because their boat
was spotted in SC waters by a tax agent on any given day. It's
happening, don't ask me how I know.
