Free boat storage between Charleston and Southern Bay Race Week

[Michael Gravitt]

To all,
  I have arranged boat storage for those who are participating in Southern Bay Race Week and wish to bring boats up after Charleston to store them here until June so they are not dragging boats back and forth.  The event website will be up in a couple of weeks and you will be able to get all details. We have made arrangements for a reduced rate hotel (Crown Plaza) that is in walking distance of the club. There are more hotels a few miles away that may even be more economical.  I will supply names and rates of any others if requested.
