At the hour and minute you were typing on your computer, I was making my way
out of Big Water via the main channel past all the boy scouts camping on the
big island.  Funcky winds, but enought to go out and come back.  There were
quite a few sailboats over on the Georgia side.  You need another sailboat.  

I saw a forelorne R22 sitting in the parking lot.  Needs to be doing
something, not just sitting there.  

As to newspapers, I have been in the main news room at Greenville News, that
is why I am critical.  I know they have gotten rid of old timers, stringers
and have a couple of rookies pulling stuff off the wire.  

If you want real local news, try the Greenville Journal, a weekly.  It has a
couple of the former reporters working on local news.  With the advent of
the internet, the Greenville News wants their readers to write copy instead
of paying a reporter.  That is why the Greenville Journal has a some of
their best former reporters who can write and find local copy.

I will not submit copy.  They should have some real reporters on staff.  

I have a 357 nearby, to big to put under the pillow.  I am license to tote
it and I do know how to use it.  But it really is for hiking, and the wild
porkers.  Up in Oconee county by the state tree farm, I saw a few that
weighed 200 to 300 pounds.  I am getting to old to climb trees so I have to
have something big enough to stop them.
