    Default Boating accident at locks?

    Has anyone heard of a boating accident at the locks on Lake Moultrie. It happened yesterday?

    Very bad storm!

    Locks were closed due to it, that boat got stuck outside the locks trying to get back to river

    Moultrie will kill you in a hurry if you dont respect it.

    Had friends not make it to the lock in time and took shelter at sort stay. They saw the whole thing, storm just pushed it right into the lock.

    Had my squadron picnic a few years ago at short stay, weather kicked up and picked the entire bouncy house up and sat it in the lake 50 yards away. Moultrie is no joke when the winds are right.

    The pontoon was entering the locks and the lock master told them to get out as there was not enough room. The waves swamped the boat and thru everyone off. Santee workers were retrieving them from the water with a rope. The rope got wrapped under one girls arm and when they lifted her, her arm snapped in half.

    Me thinks they should have turned into the waves and tied up on the other dock.

    Drop anchor and put the bow to. Just a shitty little chop, hell Winyah can look like that with no storm.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
