LuAnn Parins has passed on some research I was unaware of about some alternative housing for the NA's.
Hi, Admiral,
I want to let you know about [ www.VRBO.com ] It stands for “Vacation Rentals by Owner”. Clare found a number of houses available within about 10 minutes of the CSC. She has one reserved for (at least some of) the New Bern crowd. Most of the places are big - at least two and sometimes 4 bedrooms, so they are suitable for either a family or a group. Also, the places I looked at are on the water and have fully functioning kitchens, etc. These are NICE places! One enters the web site with zip code or area of interest and gets a list of properties. The web site has pictures, rates and a calendar of available dates for each property, and contact info for the owners. One deals directly with the owner of the property.
If anybody wants more of a “vacation” feel or is bringing their families they may like the option of a house instead of a motel room.
Please pass this info on to anybody on your list that may be interested.
We are planning on the LNYC “Mid Winters”, so I hope to see you next month.
Regards,
LuAnn
Thank you LuAnn.
For quick access on the web site to the Lake Murray area:

If you are interested I would suggest using MapQuest to check on the length of the commute to the sail club. Homes on the south side of the lake, especially above the Batesburg-Leesville town, could result in a commute time of up to 30 minutes.
The LNYC Keelboat & SJ 21 Mid Winters is scheduled for 16, 17 March and the NOR is available.
Hope you all had a great "Valentine!"
Cheers, (\ <----- SJ 21 "White Knuckles" (\_ (\_ (\_
