From the SC In-Water Boat Show

I had a great time at the SC In-Water Boat Show, and even managed to sell some books. Almost enough to make up for the really cool light I bought! I've scheduled a reading/book signing with the Daniel Island fishing club and a segment on Lowcountry Live from contacts I made at the show, too.

Boaters and people who work in and around marinas and the water are always full of great stories and a contagious joie de vivre that reminds me of why I enjoyed my days at Sea Grant so very much! Of course I met lots of fun and interesting new people, so a big thank you to Meaghan and everyone in the SC Marine Association for putting on such a fun event, and to all the vendors who made it pleasant, even in the rain on Friday and cold on Sunday! Ralph and Jim from Superior Diesel, Neil and the Tide Tamer guys (who introduced me to a yummy new drink!), Brenda at Lots of Lights, Candace and her friends at the St. John's Yacht Harbor booth, and Sammy and his son at their salad dressing sales booth, thank you all for a great weekend!

Red Stag (black cherry flavored bourbon) and Dr. Pepper--yummm!
Thanks, Neil!

A Great Weekend to Get Out on the Water!!!

Spring has finally sprung here in Charleston, South Carolina. We've had temperatures in the 80s for the past two days, the sun is shining, azaleas, dogwoods, and wisteria are blooming, and the pollen count is through the roof! It's a great time to get out on the water!



The perfect opportunity to do that is coming up on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the SC Marine Associations SC In-Water Boat Show at Daniel Island's Waterfront Park. For more details and the schedule of events, go to:
