Very interested in joining in on this adventure. Put me down as a maybe for now since we are still trying to workout the logistics for the trip.

I am really hoping we can make it work. That weekend just happens to fall on our anniversary weekend. We took a cruise that departed from Charleston Harbor for our honeymoon so it would be really appropriate to celebrate this year's anniversary (15th) on our boat on the Charleston Harbor.

same here. It is about a 3.5 hour drive from our side of town. 7 AM start gives us plenty of time.

We grabbed a hotel in Santee for Friday. The kiddos will last longer not having to hit the road early on Saturday. Are any reservations at Rocks Pond needed for the overnight parking Saturday?

it was mentioned way earlier in this thread about where to have lunch on the water. With the size of our group now I'm not sure anywhere on the lake or river will be able to accommodate us.
Blacks camp may be able to I will check but docking for 10 boats maybe difficult. If that's not possible we can all eat before we leave and just be ready to head to Charleston after launch or we can plan to stop somewhere after the launch to have a picnic style lunch and tie up and anchor in a calm section of the river. What ever majority vote is I'm good with. Just want to have a game plan so everyone knows to eat before launch or we all pack for a stop on the way down.

I with you, now that we have about 10 boats and close to 60 people, finding a place to handle both the boat docking and amount of people could be difficult. My crew is good with a tie up to eat lunch that we brought. Since we are launching around 11 am, it will be past noon by the time we get to the lock, maybe we could tie up in Lake Moultrie before we go through the lock, some where around Black Camp or at the other end of the lake near the Navy Short facility (where we stop for a break last year). Again, my crew is good with whatever works out.

I agree this sounds best for our crowd. Let's firm up details and we'll all plan on packing a lunch!! Only potential issue is potty breaks for the girls on the trip down but we could cycle through a marina too and not all descend at once.

Alright so everyone plan to pack a lunch on your boat we will leave the actual plan of where to stop at to a day of decision as weather conditions such as the lake being rough could play a part in that. @waterboy There is a marina stop about 1-2 miles after we clear the lock and we can stop there and anyone who needs to can do that can dock and go up. The is the last facility for approx 50 miles so remind your crew of that when there.
