Well Peggie I have stayed at the Charleston City Dock, on the Ashley River.
I do have to say that it was one of the best places I have stayed including
the west coast where we live. I don't know if they had matching funds or
just the grant. But for three years running it one of the best docks to
stay at. As far as I am concerned if they can spend hundreds of millions
of dollars to build a useless ball field. For over paid, under educated so
called athletes. They can build transient docks for the boating community.

Jack, if you'd ever priced the cost of construction these days, you'd
know those grants aren't big. For starters, all the nonsense required by
the EPA is liekly to cost the marinas at least half the amounts they got.
