In our life I can recall several places you could go to be around happy people who didn’t seem to have a care in the world. We lived in Colorado before moving here and you could always count on finding friendly happy people at the ski slopes in the lift lines, chatting with you on the chair lift and of course at the apre ski gathering spots. We cleaned up our boat today and took it for it’s 2009 maiden voyage. How refreshing it was to see so many smiling faces at the marina – what recession? Young families – dad with his fishing poles, mom herding the young ones to get on the boat and of course the family dog. New boat or old boats everyone is talking to strangers and loving life. Of course, it is 80 degrees on March 12th, that helps. This has to be one of the finest boating areas there is. The new 300 slip marina on Daniel Island has been delayed, but that will surely start soon and what excitement that brings. Also, we took a new listing this week of a luxury condo at Oaks Riverside on Daniel island. The 3,200 sq. ft. “lock and leave condo” includes a 50′ boat slip a short walk from your door – now that is something to smile about too. If the economy is getting you down go to a marina in Charleston. You will come home energized and exicted about life in our little paradise.
