[Rhodes22-list] Hilton Head and the Georgia Coast

Sun Feb 12 17:51:33 EST 2006

We also frequent HHI (Hilton Head Islnd).  We have used both South Beach
Marina (much better since it has been dredged) and HorbourTowne.

way; many times a year.  Never tried Skull Creek, but the area has some nice
anchorages.  PB is one of few sites that will allow keeping the trailer on
site if you have a slip.  About $30 per for a little paradise, folks.

would be an excellent region for retirement bliss, even on the cheap.  We
ought to put together a regatta here, or out of Sail Harbor in Savannah ('96
Olympics, small boat venue) and have a big party.  Maybe we could even bring
Slim and his mother... and Rummy and his rum...
and Ed and his attitude... the possibilities are both endless and mindless.
I better quit if I'm ahead...
