Tidelines

The article in the Post & Courier's Tidelines Magazine has hit the streets, and the Stone Crab Kids (SCKs) have secured their copies.  Many thanks to Ali Butler and Matt Winter for their kindness toward my children and interest in the project.

Boat Update: 
We have a hull being rebuilt for the SCKs.  Frankie Eubanks, a  North Carolina fisherman and boat builder, has adopted the SCKs.  The boat will be ready in about 10 weeks.  I will post photos of the transformation.  We are still looking for a  225hp outboard engine.


West Marine: 
Our first order of materials has been placed with West Marine.  Rob at the West Ashley store in Charleston SC is assisting in coordinating with Keith in the New Bern NC store to get materials to Frankie.  I can't say enough about how helpful West Marine has been throughout this process.  However, I can tell you that when Jim Kearney called from the company's California headquarters, he stated that he had heard what the SCKs were doing and that West Marine was going to say 'yes' to everything they could.  So, now the shameless corporate plug ... please find the list of supporters on the SKCs website.  Each one of them has contributed to making this research possible.

And, if we can 'wrestle' some stone crab claws away from Annah Bethel, there may be some left over for the Charleston Crab House.
