        It's about time something was done. I counted 8 derelict boats in the Ashley River yesterday. I understand it can be difficult to determine the vessels status, but why do we register the boats in the first place if the state doesn't keep track of the owners?

      Please enjoy the latest passages from STEADFAST. As of August 1st, 2024 we are undergoing extensive repair and refit and will be for several months.
