I like that: "South Carolina is almost as good as Florida in
some ways." Maybe they can start putting that on their
license plates.

LOL! Nah, we'll stick with" SC: Far better than FL". We have fewer
displaced yankees, and four seasons. Don't laugh, we consider North
Carolinians to be yankees. :-)

Heck, boating season never ends in North Carolina. I don't
know what's wrong with those yokels to the south. It's true
there are some weeks where the temp is a bit unpleasant for
being out on the water, but that's just a temporary setback
and not worth moving to the Equator.

I hear ya. Our boat lives in a slip, and only comes out of the water
for maintenance and cleaning. It gets used year-round. But I
consider boating season to be when I can get into the water. That
means it runs from April-May until at least October. The rest of the
time I'm in the boat, and wishing it was warm enough to be in the
water.
