Pedicab Man

Rowing:

1. I row pass several hundred homes on my Wappo Cut/Colburg Creek/Stono River route. People are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars extra for their home for the tidal marsh view that as far as I can tell hardly anyone comes out to view. Their probably in a tube trance.

2. The tide really rips through the southwest end of Wappo cut where it meets the Stono river. Not unusually to see 2-3 foot waves caused by the incoming tide. I was rowing there the other day and got into a conversation with a guy on the shore; all I had to do is slow down my paddle stroke and we were both in one spot [I was working harder than him to keep the conversation going].

3. The marine weather forecast called for gale warning on Sunday so I was surprised that so many people were using the launch at Wappo Cut. When I got back to the landing a couple hours later, after rowing in areas protected from the wind, most had loaded up and left; guess they don't have a radio.

Hang around on the water in Charleston Harbor long enough and you'll see something along the lines of this picture. We're the 4th largest container port in the US of A and there are dolphins everywhere around here and they do love to play.

This morning several dolphins breached near the boat and it wasn't till later that I realised that I never stopped rowing or even looked around to spot them. Jaded.

Of course they would say, "We didn't stop fishing just to check me out some dufus in a paddle thing........... so there."
