You would think a guy that was stationed on a submarine in the Navy and lives 2 hours away would have already seen the Hunley but I haven't yet even though I really want to see it.

I came across that thing & it's story a few years ago. Have been trying to find an excuse to get there myself. Seems like they're still only open to visitors on the weekends. I'm sure it wouldn't take long to see, since they're still researching it's story too.

It would not take long an hour or less and you could run through the whole building.

Well the first forecast are out and so far it looks good but anyone who is familiar with coastal weather know it could change any second. Right now we are looking at a high in the upper 80's and sunny with winds along the coast around 11 mph and winds up at the lock around 8 mph. If I had to guess we are looking for winds under 10 mph at the lock and preferably coming out of the east. If the winds are stronger then 10 mph coming from the west we could face a similar fate as last year.

Wouldnt it suck if everyone locked through and then they closed the locks.

Hey guys thought you would enjoy this. Listen toward the end they put in at Remleys Point .. Gotta love the Coast Guard they are bad ass! Looks like the weather is going to be spot on.

Since we are a week out I figure I should get a head count and see who is launching from where so no one gets left behind. Below is how I have it now if someone is not on one of the lists below please let me know and if your plan is different then what I have below let me know as well. I will get @Andy S to reach out to those launching from Charleston to get you his number to stay in communication the morning of if anyone is running behind and I will reach out to those launching from Myrtle once we have it a confirmed.

For those not sure what Morris Island lighthouse is here is a decent video,

Today looking at the forecast for next weekend, we should have good weather and hopefully good seas to be able to go check out the lighthouse by boat on Sunday.
