Bob Struble shares these shrimp boats with the following poem thrown in for good measure:

Shrimp boats is a comin'
Their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a comin'
There's dancin' tonight.

And just where they comin’ from? Frequently seen off Kiawah’s coast, many call Rockville home port. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Click here to send it.

Kiawah Critter Count

It is sunny and humid on Kiawah this morning.  We are headed into what looks like a glorious week-end, complete with lots of sunshine and warm weather.  Beach, anyone?

Turtle News: There are 211 nests on Kiawah's beach as of July 25th.  With roughly two weeks left in nesting season, it certainly seems that our mama loggerheads will break the recent record (in 2003) of 225 nests!  Go mamas!  Please remember to turn off your flashlights on the beach at night, and to shield any ocean side lighting after 9 p.m.  Sea turtles dig the dark!

Week-end Weather: It is 80 degrees at 8:45 Friday  morning.  We have the perfect week-end for spending time outdoors.  Friday's high should be in the upper eighties, lows in the mid-seventies.  It appears that Saturday will be a repeat of Friday -  highs in the upper eighties, and lows in the mid-seventies.  Last but not least, Sunday is supposed to bring us a high near ninety with a 30% chance of rain.  Lows Sunday night should be in the mid-seventies with a 20% chance of showers.
