    He is a troll that has been using Covid to get some attention. He has created multiple threads about the same subject to jump start the discussion over and over. He is rude and doesn't even own a seaworthy boat. He is trolling for attention. Now he is "ignoring" members who don't agree with...

    Dr. Fauci

    He spent is life in relative obscurity waiting for a pandemic. Now he has one and he is going to ride the limelight for as long as it lasts. His continued desire for his 15 minutes of fame and shutdown recommendations may destroy the US as we know it. He is 80 years old and only now has...

    AC unit freezing up

    My AC unit is freezing up. The filter is clean. I had the refrigerant checked and it was a little low so we brought it up to full. It is still freezing up. There is good water flow. What are the next things to check?

    Not to be too critical....

    Sitting on the balcony of the Charleston Harbor Resort watching a tremendous T storm come through. 60 mph winds and sideways rain. Cat 50' sailboat anchored earlier in a place I would not between the marina and the main channel. When the storm started to come in they moved the boat 50 yards...

    Vacuflush Question

    I have a single head on my boat and the same on the prior boat. Early on I was told to turn the key on when using the head then turn it off. Recently I have read that its ok to leave the pump on all the time. Which is most correct?

    Shore Power Problem

    Came back to the dock yesterday with the genny running and all AC circuits running fine. After tying up in the slip I plugged in my single 30a shore power cord and turned the breaker on the main panel over from generator to shore power. Dead. No voltage at the panel. Switched back to...

    Port City Club

    Nice day today so we cruised over to Port City Club for lunch. They were not busy so no problem with space along side the old gas dock. The food and service were great. Only a few boats on the water so the lake was calm. Great day to boat in the Carolinas!

    Another death on LKN yesterday

    I don't recall a summer with as many drownings as we have already had on LKN and LKW as this year. Another boater in the Sherrills Ford area died yesterday presumably drowned. It seems like this has become a weekly occurrence. I guess it drives home the point that boating is an inherently...

    I have decided not to trailer launch my boat when we transport it down to the coast in June. I am thinking of using Pierside Boatworks in N. Charleston to unload and load. I would also have them do some minor work such as remounting the radar dome. Does anyone have any experience with...
