A great day to be boating down here. We actually had a few of the enclosure panes opened up to let cool air in. For the most part the terrain was unprotected swamp like and flat. However there was quite a bit of interesting wildlife that included swarms of dove like birds roosting, a pair of nesting bald eagles, several varieties of herons and etc..
Since the water was calm on the outside we had few of the 'sporties' to deal with. All in all a very calm day on the water.
One thing we have learned about the folks down here in the Carolinas is that they will go to any length to ensure they have their own private dock. Some of the walkways out to the docks have to be an 1/8 mile long... A length of several hundred yards seems to be normal. I am willing to bet they have paid more for those than some of us have paid for our houses.
As well, there are example after example of extravagent houses that are partially finished along the ICW. These are all probaby examples of the buy out from the sub-prime debacle. It's sickening to see people start these and then get a government bail out..

Couldn't part of the length of the walkways be a function of how deep the water is and how much their boat draws? You can only hope that excessive walkways aren't permitted to block passage!
Nope. Mostly they don't have boats!
