We're doing another rendezvous in Charleston this year and everyone is invited. Traburne got us going with his post back in January, that has now gone 19 pages with discussions and plans. As the date approaches, and to really get the ball rolling, we felt we needed to start this new post.

Check out Traburn's original thread here:

The result is that this year's Charleston Rendezvous is over Memorial Day weekend. We'll start on Friday afternoon May 22, and finish on Sunday morning, May 24. The plan is to meet at an anchorage north of Charleston Friday afternoon late for a raft-up. For those who are game, we'll spend the night on the hook at the anchorage, and for others there are marinas close-by. Saturday is of course open to whatever you'd like to do. For those who are interested, we'll tour around the Charleston area by boat, and then for those who are up for it, we'll anchor out again Saturday night south of Charleston up the Stono River, where there will be a nearby marina for those who prefer shore facilities.

Weather and wind permitting, we'll have some quality time ashore on a local island Saturday. The beaches are broad and very nice, and there are shallows to enjoy without a lot of wave action. We'll have at least one dinghy to ferry folks ashore who don't wish to beach their boat.

Photos of the Friday anchor spot are here:

And photos and info from the last Charleston Rendezvous two years ago (which was great fun), are here:

For those of you who will be trailering in, I've arranged for you to be able to flush your engines out at the marina where I keep my boat before you leave. The marina is next to a public ramp with lots of parking, so it should be a good spot to launch and leave your vehicle and trailer.

Once you're a definite, PM me, and I'll send you more information. I think we've got 5 or 6 boats so far, and welcome more. There's lots to see and do in Charleston, and it'll be a great opportunity to meet fellow CSR members in the area, so join us if you can.

Sometimes its easier to have knowledge of the runs and timing of your planned tour. Its a beutiful city, Welcome to all!!! PM me if you want to talk by phone regarding any trip here...
 
Beachcombersc,

Thanks much for the offer for help. I just sent you a PM to get your input. I hope you can make the rendezvous.

Sweet Dreams,

I sent Mike and Gerald an email late last night, so we may know today.

Sadler and everyone, I'm still planning to attend the rendezvous. I am currently working out of town at Oconee. If everything goes as planned (outage doesn't get extended, and I can be spared, ha ha) I'll be there. I still haven't decided on a drop in point, however the Wachasaw Marina is looking good. Getting closer to fun time and I'm looking forward to it. Mike
 
I'm planning on using the Ramp next to Sadlers (Riversedge) Marina. How close is Wachasaw Marina to Sadlers Marina Mike?

Long way. Its on the Waccamaw River inland of Georgetown. Not an option for you Chuck. Thats another trip you need to join us for and we can take you to the redneck rivierra!
 
Can I go to the redneck (what ever you said ) Chuck glad you decided to make it after all. Nicky

Yes Nicky! thats the island just up from your friend's Man Cabin. LOL.
We were just contemplating a trip to that area for you and anyone else interested in south strand coastal river area. We were on Black River sunday and thought it would be a good trip to do there to G'town to the rivierra and back in a Fri afternoon to Sun weekend. Sure Mike would concurr.
 
Who knows we might even get to stop at the (MAN CABIN) I am glad to see the Charleston Rendevous group growing. This is shapeing up to be a real TREAT for every one. I am looking forward to learning my way around the area. I have made many trips down the Cooper River, but limit my Charleston travels to the ICW and Shem Creek. Nicky
 
Wow, Chuck is in! Mike is in!

Mike, are you sure you can get to the anchorage before night fall Friday, putting in so far up?
 
Hopefully if...if everything goes as planned, (you know how that goes) I can make it. I plan to be in the water early friday morning sometime. If not, I'm not opposed to finding you in the dark. I'll get the GPS coordinates or there abouts for the anchorage site. Back up plan...if I'm not there by dark, monitor your vhf channel 69 or 16 and I'll beg for directions to you. How does that saying go...it's not an adventure without some risk or uncertainty. Yea right! I'm being positive, I can make it, I can make it, I can make it. lol.
 
Do we have the GPS location for the Friday & Saturday night raft-ups yet?
With only being 2 weeks out, we may want to go ahead and setup/email the boat/crew info.
