DE or NC?

NC. Sane people sail SOUTH from here....way too many beautiful
places to sail North into the industrial slime.

Yeah, them used car lots on Mount Desert Island are the pits.

Have you done the South Carolina coast, other than the ditch passing
through?

Yes, but not in as much detail as they warrant, I suspect.

The ditch is the worst of it. I took some Canadians in
their sailboat up into the lake up the Cooper River into Lake
Moultrie for a little fresh water flush ... The
Canadians had been through here many times and had no idea how
beautiful it was up there ...

Let's back up a bit. Didn't you just say one or two posts ago that boats
belong offshore? When did you change your position and admit what I've been
saying all along in this thread?

You can motor our waterways, especially during the week, and never
see a single soul for miles and miles. Anchor out any place you like
away from the ditch and harbor. Bring your crab trap and anchor out
off some tidal creek in 16' of water. Dinner blue crab is just
waiting for you here in a couple of hours. Some who find out about
us never do make it to Florida's overcrowded ditches for the winter.
It was 82 and sunny, today. Charleston weather is the same as
Jacksonville's without the bumper-to- bumper boat traffic jammed into
the ditch because there's no place else to go.

You have made my point quite well. Thanks for your support.
