Nothing wrong with Hartwell. Lots of deep water, and protected areas so there are places that aren't too choppy even when a bit windy. I like that lots of the coastline is apparently not approved...

No, moved to Lake Hartwell in SC instead. It's got good water for wakeboarding, but need to find other people to ride with.

I just moved to the Lake Hartwell area, and need an inboard mechanic. Any recommendations?

Lake Tillery / Pee Dee River, NC ?

I'm looking at a possible house on Lake Tillery in NC, about 2.5 miles north of Rt 27. It looks like that's actually on the Pee Dee River, but it's not clear to me if people would still call that...

Lake Norman

I moved to Lake Norman recently (Denver/Westport area) and need some people to wakeboard with. My boat (2009 MB B52 V23) has a pretty decent wake.

Hah! There are some snake-heads in the Potomac, and I even saw someone catch one at the marina where I keep my boat. But I never encountered one on the water, and don't give that a second thought.

Lake Norman, week of July 4?

I'm visiting Lake Norman from July 5-8. I won't have my board, but it would be really nice to get out on the water to see what it's really like, since I'm hoping to move to that area.

If anyone...
