    • USCG: New South Carolina Vessel Turn-In Program

      ‘Sullivan, James P LT USCG (USA)’ via General Contact

      Mon, Mar 11, 10:31 AM (1 day ago)  
      to D07-SMB-SECTORCHASN-WWM

      Good Morning All,

      The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control’s Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (DHEC OCRM) is piloting a new preventative Vessel Turn-In Program (VTIP) to allow boat owners to surrender aging, unwanted, or at-risk vessels (for free) before they become a problem. They will even disassemble and dispose of the vessel at no cost to the owner, using the most sustainable disposal and recycling options available. Although this program does not apply to existing abandoned and derelict vessels, it is a huge step forward for protecting SC waterways.

      Please see attached one-pager and text below for additional information. Feel free to forward this email as you see fit.

      When is the first Turn-In Event? 

      The first Vessel Turn-In event will be held in the Charleston area in the summer of 2024. Details will be published by SCDHEC once plans are solidified.  

      Who is Eligible?  

      Private citizens and businesses within South Carolina’s eight coastal counties. 

      How can I Apply?  

      Complete the South Carolina VTIP application by visiting https://scdhec.gov/ADV   

      Contact Julia Chrisco for additional information.

At Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages, we’ve got everything you need: complimentary sailboats and water toys for your enjoyment, cozy cottages, epic sunsets, crystal-clear waters, and friendly tropical wildlife like birds, manatees, and maybe even dolphins.
       
      Whether you’re an experienced sailor or simply seeking a laid-back escape, our cozy cottages serve as your home base for experiencing the true essence of the Keys. Relax by the docks, take a dip in the water, snorkel, paddleboard, kayak, or sail all day – just like many others who love the Keys do.

      Available Cottages and Dates
       
      When you book one of our cottages, you get more than just a great escape. You also get free access to water amenities. If you’re a qualified sailor, you can use a 22′ sailboat. You can also take a relaxing kayak ride, paddleboard on the bay side calm waters, or explore the clear waters with our snorkel gear. This is what the Florida Keys are all about, and it is why guests keep coming back to Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages. It’s a hidden gem that captures the true spirit of the Florida Keys, just like in Jimmy Buffet’s songs and Hemingway’s stories.
       
      Plus, if you’re interested in learning to sail, we have a sailing school right on-site. The American Sailing Academy offers a 2-hour Introduction to Sailing, a 2-hour refresher (for those with experience but needing a little refresher), and ASA beginner and advanced certified classes. 
       
      You can learn to sail in just 2 days with our in-house sailing endorsement class (non-certification). When you pass the endorsement class, you would have the use of one of our 22′ Catalina sailboats for FREE during the rest of your stay. (Non-guests can rent a sailboat for $300 a day but it’s free for our qualified sailor guests staying at Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages.)
       
      For more information on the sailing classes, call Capt. g at 305 896 5555, or send an email to captg@keylimesailing.com.
