Well.. took my boat out today for one last shake down cruise before charleston.... was on the lake 10 min and started to hear a whin coming from the port engine... not loud but new.. sounds like a bearing to me in the prop area... due to charleston in less than a week I called my mechanic who is gonna look at it on monday... if time wasn't a factor I would mess with it myself... we shall see..

I hate coastal weather forecasting. So as of now they are calling for 80+ degree highs and no rain for the weekend according to the weather channels forecast but their main story on the front page says that the south east should expect rain and cool weather from the omega block forming ugh you never know what to expect here.

Don't care, I'm going!

Actually reserved a room Friday night too in Florence so we don't have so far to go Saturday.

I'm afraid i'll have to bow out of the Charleston trip. :(
I've had some unexpected expenses come up and just can't make it happen this time.
Thank you @robert843 for extended us the invite to ride along with you ! :)
Sorry to hear that, you guys will be missed, see you in about 6 weeks in Bimini.
