very representative of those places. Have been at least 4 times.
- The "cant sail unless the outboard is on the big boat" rule is obnoxious, especially for just a couple . renting a cat with the transom mounted hoist system solves that.
- why its unsafe at night on OB surprises me , as many south carolina beaches in summer have people on the beach long past dark (say at hilton head in front of the hotels)
- odd no one have ever put up even a small dingy dock on O Beach. what u did with the dingy was smart (bow into the waves), but you risk running over and cutting up the person at the bow- we have had lots of problems with that situation even with 2 couples and a "paid" helper from the beach and during the day. first few waves are very sharp. one solution is to go to the club o end and go in there, few waves. we do that.
- taking a dingy across the bay at night - I dont do that.
- the boat briefing overload on your brain, I got a headache the first time
- this summer the boat briefer said we HAD to do customs check in if we went on the dutch side, so guess what? we did not do any dutch side places, they are slowly making it too hard. its possibly about money. you dont go thru customs if u drive your rental car from one side to the other , why do you have to do it with your rental boat??
great write up
