A great day tour is the Cooper River-Tailrace Canal from Charleston to

the weekend, much to the dismay of the lock operator...(c; Your only
cost to use the lock is to tell the operator the name of your boat and
where you're from.

Larry, I'm interested in making that trip up the Cooper River some
time.

Some questions: What is the northern limit for a boat drawing 5.5 ft
and with an air draft of 28 ft? Are there any bridges or locks with
restricted operating hours? Would it be a good place to hide out from
a coastal hurricane?

I can reduce the air draft to about 19 ft by dropping the mast but
that is a lot of effort.
