Default Charleston Marina

Thanks for the info. I like the idea of WiFi on the dock too. My work is
mostly over the internet and its nice to be able to send and receive large
drawings without the use of my cell phone. We have a 41' Defever so bridge
height is not a problem. Sounds like a plan, we will probably be there
sometime in early November.
Thanks again,
Phil

Ashley Marina right next door on the other side of the 55 ft clearance
James Island Bridge. Ashley even has WiFi internet service for free,
now. Ashley runs a van service to take you around town or to West
Marine at no extra charge. A little tip to the crew driving the van
is nice, however.

Ashley keeps lots of crew on hand to keep the place clean and are very
good at helping any size yacht dock. Transients stay on the face dock
outside and inside making departures easy and convenient. The Yanmar
shop is on the first floor with diesel mechanics that work on all
makes if you need them....

Second floor has nice heads nice showers, a whole laundromat, a
captain's lounge with huge projection TV and HOUSE FURNITURE to relax
in with telephone and internet connections if you like. There's even
an elevator to help you get up and down. Top floor is the yacht
brokerage. Out on the face dock is another lounge on the corner of
the dock closest to the bridge where you can also relax. One of the
802.11b WiFi transmitters is there, too.

Their website has all the contact information for you.....

Right downtown like the city marina, without the ripoff parking
contractor to bleed your guests dry.....

Can anyone recommend a good stop in Charleston SC for a few days? We

stayed
at City Marina last year and it was ok. Is there a better one? We like to
walk the town and visit all the pubs!
Thanks
