If you book a room in North Charleston, it most likely will be off I 26 at exit 213. Use the airport directions to FB as well.............

Thanks for all the legwork Tridude. I'll fly a zipper just to see you smile.

A few minutes to acclimate and then I'm rolling. I'm bringing water gear as well so who knows, I might try one of your homebrew boards as well. The time is right with water vets on hand for advice.

sounds good............anything west is offshore but the forecast may/probably will change. Mgatc and I or his son can paddle out, one for you, one for the kite if you need help.................

I forgot about the offshore thing. I don't have THAT much confidence in my abilities, and I'm old enough to know better. It would've hit me standing on the beach for sure. I like the west wind for cruises to the pier so I won't wish that away.

While vacationed in South Carolina including Charleston with my family two years ago... Hymans Seafood Co. was very good even with huge fried battered jumbo shrimp platter. Maybe do that on Sunday evening. (Charleston Crab House on Saturday night still on per thread) We missed Hominy Grill for breakfast as tried to get the table there around late morning arrival. Better be there at 9am sharp when it open. I'm gonna make it this time to eat on Saturday am and you all are welcome to gather!

Im gonna try and catch a few waves Sat am at 9th St prior to the meet but if the waves arent breaking I might meet you there....................Hominy does a killer breakfast
