Here's what I send to Jack Martin about the event, which is purely my
version:

The dates are April 14-16. I've been haunting the Charleston Parks & Rec
web site 
(http://www.chascoparks.com/), but they don't have anything posted yet.
You might stop by there and sign up for their quarterly flyer. I kinda
hate to get all that paper that I end up throwing away, though.

Based on  my experiences from 1998, I'd suggest pre-registering and
signing up for courses ahead of time, especially for the on-water
courses with big-name folks like Derek and Nigel, but you can register
and sign up for stuff on the spot. The sign-up form they sent in the
mail was not intuitive, so we didn't sign up for anything in advance.
The park has a nice campground, and you can pitch
a tent on grass. I'm bringing a bike, as it's a long walk to the dining
hall.

Tons of demo boats. Not much in the way of sales, except for
accessories. Great classes, on and off water. Early morning cruises
every day, at least one featuring a surf exit/entry. 

Oh, it's sand flea mating season. Bring long pants, socks (I'm not
embarrassed to wear Tevas and socks), and Skin-so-soft.

Steve
