The area on the
North end just south of High Island provides very decent protection. I
moored a boat there for several years.

So did I back in the early 70s - Bob Taylor's old "Offshore yacht
Club", followed by G&G Marine next to the ferry dock or something like
that. It was wicked rough there in a nor'easter or strong southerly,
and you had to watch out for the sunken barge, and the shoal behind
Rat Island.

I know quite a few people who HAVE sailed there that would disagree
with your assessment. It's not the Bronx, but it's not what Skip is
accustomed too, either.

Yes. I would have thought that City Island might have been preferable.

But, but, but..........

What if he didn't have shackles and thimbles for his dock lines???????

You can't dock in City Island without shackles and thimbles in your dock
lines!

Little Neck Bay is a fine place to anchor out

No thanks.....We prefer lazing back adrift on Charleston Harbor or rafted
up in one of our many lovely estuaries with friends for the weekend.....

When the crabbers go by to tend their traps, we flag them down to buy
dinner....sometimes trading them glasses of some inebriating concoction
from the large coffee pot in exchange for the Blues in the basket....(c;

I couldn't take the pressure around NY. Charleston only had that much
"rush" during Hurricane Hugo!

Y'all stop by. Lotsa Yankees do! They seem to enjoy it.

Heah....try suma this mint julep.....(c;

Our clocks are set to "sometime".....

Until the local tax collector takes a liking to your boat for some
inexplicable reason. It's a nice enough town but it will be a *long*
time before I take a boat there again.

We spent two nights at the city marina, a very nice facility as I'm
sure you know. We needed a generator repair which was handled very
efficiently by a local mechanic that the marina recommended. Some how
the tax people thought that money was owed by a previous owner and
they made my life miserable for about 6 months trying to collect.
