     I will be attending the festival with several of my club members from 


Augusta, GA. Jim Farrelly is one who posts on Paddlewise often. We will be 


camping on and around campsite 104,105, 106. Drop by.  Looking forward to 


meeting you guys. I don't have a tee shirt though. Just look for an old man 


with long white hair and a beard, paddling a wooden boat with a cut down 


white water paddle. 





Paddle more, be safe, and live long 


Ronnie

We're going to have to start qualifying these statements.  Old by who's standards?  My kids, or my granddads?  :-)

BTW - my 11 year old recently explained to me why she was sooooo  much smarter than I am.  Apparently, it's because I'm soooooo old (40) that I've had plenty of time to forget most of what I once knew.

Hey Ronnie, you wouldn't happen to have a red-nosed dolphin proceeding
you as you move across the water?

Joyous paddling, 
Paul

What are bugs like at this time of year in the Charleston SC
area?  Mosquitoes season yet?  Others?  Should I bring a 
bug jacket?

The mosquitos are bad at night, from sundown on. For me, the sand fleas 
(midges) are worse. They were hatching during the festival a couple of 
years ago and very hungry. Some people like Skin-So-Soft. I prefer socks 
and long pants, as they tend to fly low.

Yes, bring it. Last year I offered $10,000 to someone if they would give me 
the one they were wearing. They gnats are bad in the early morning and again 
in the evening with some mosquitoes.

What are bugs like at this time of year in the Charleston SC


area?   





The mosquitoes are plentiful, also sand gnats, and no see-ums. Night time is 



the worst.  The trick is to take a shower, dry off and then apply Avon's Skin

so Soft to your whole body. Then use insect repellent as needed. Take your 


repellant with you where ever you go.





Paddle more, be safe, and live long 


Ronnie
