Scuba Diving Offshore Charleston, South Carolina Y73 Wreck - Tugboat Kimberly with Scuba John's
This is a dive on the Tugboat Kimberly which is part of the Y73 wreck area. We were out for the opening of Grouper season and were spearfishing Grouper. After a few successful dives on the Ledges, we decided to try a wreck. Only one Grouper was spotted on this wreck and it quickly went deep into the holds before a shot could be taken. No other fish were targeted and a trip back to the ledges after this dive limited us out on Grouper. Sharing to show the nice wreck diving that can be had offshore South Carolina, whether you are spearing or sport diving. if you are interested in diving or spearing offshore SC, contact John @ Scuba John's Dive Shop in Columbia, SC.

RAW- Elvia Swainson in her own words 3 of 3: That's the scenario I've been presented with
No matter what it is, I want the truth to come out. The words of Elvia Swainson surrounding her daughter Gabbiee's disappearance.
Elvia discovered that Gabbiee was missing when she arrived home from work on Saturday, August 18, beginning a search that has continued for three months.
In the days that followed her disappearance, the Richland County Sheriff's Department named Freddie Grant as a suspect. He was subsequently charged with kidnapping and additional federal ammunition charged was filed against Grant, who is being held in Lexington County.
No parent wants to go through this, Elvia Swainson says about her search for Gabbiee. You wouldn't wish this on your worst enemy. Swainson has given several interviews and appeared alongside Sheriff Leon Lott at press conferences and updates for the public, however, she has said little about Grant, saying that's not helping me find my child.
WACH Fox's Tyler Ryan sat down with Elvia for an exclusive interview about Gabbiee, her disappearance, and the involvement that investigators say Freddie Grant had in the case. That's the scenario I've been presented with, she said, going on to indicate that Grant hasn't offered any contrary information.
Swainson said she continues to make attempts to contact Grant in hopes that he will help her in her search.
Although it has been nearly twelve weeks since she last saw her daughter, Elvia Swainson remains optimistic, saying the she knows she (Gabbiee) is on her way home.
If you have any information on the where Gabbiee Swainson is, you are urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Take a leisurely stroll to the lake along one of the nature trails that meanders through the community or visit with friends at the Harbour Club. Enjoy a picnic at the Sunrise Pointe recreation area, or simply commune with nature. It is not uncommon to see great blue herons, osprey, eagles, deer and raccoons. If you are feeling energetic, you might go for a swim in the pool, practice your putting on the private putting green, fish from the community dock, enjoy a brisk set of tennis, work out in the exercise facility or take off on a boating excursion. Or, spend lazy days just lying in a hammock and watching the sun creep down the lake's horizon.
South Carolina Homes & Gardens featured Harbour Watch Community in its magazine. This is no ordinary neighborhood. In the early stages, land wasn't clear cut and streets weren't set on straight lines with houses to be built as though they were cut from a mold. According to the magazine article, when the developer decided to create a community on 130 acres adjacent to Lake Murray, SC, the first thing he did was to hire a tree surveyor to catalog all the big hardwood trees on the property. It was costly, but before he would determine where the roads, houses and lot lines were going to be placed, he felt that he needed to know the type and location of all of the landmark trees. The developer, Phil Savage, constructed the roads and lot lines to meander around the big, old trees, leaving them as corner accents or as focal points down an alley of pines.
Lexington County Sheriff, James Metts, has referred to Harbour Watch as a flagship community, a special place. When you pass through the private, gated entrance, a gentle curve leads you to a magnificent fountain centerpiece. Follow Harbour Watch Boulevard to the clubhouse. The first story is fashioned of plum-colored Pennsylvania field stone. The upstairs is beautifully decorated with a gas log fireplace, big screen TV and comfortable furniture on one end and a pool table on the other. A small, well-equipped kitchen makes it perfect for parties. An elevator is available for those unable to climb stairs. On the lower level, a bar area and an exercise room back up to an inviting swimming pool, overlooking the neighborhood marina. Savage said of Harbour Watch, This is the place. A place on the lake, where you can fish, picnic, play tennis, swim, practice a little golf and boat year-round. It is a place where children can run, explore, see the natural world up close, and still catch fireflies at night. This place is lake living at its finest.
With more than 500 miles of shoreline and 50,000 acres of water, Lake Murray is truly a sight to behold. Beautiful property nestled within a peaceful lake setting makes the area especially appealing to vacationers and residents alike. The area has more than 20 golf courses open year round for public play. Lake Murray is also home to many annual events including professional bass fishing tournaments, sailing regattas, powerboat races, the annual Tour of Homes, and many fabulous boat parades and holiday fireworks displays, easily viewed from Harbour Watch. With an average temperature ranging from 56 degrees in January to 92 degrees in July, residents enjoy a perfect climate for year-round outdoor recreation.

Save the Pine Glen Neighborhood
My name is Lisa Kyzer and I own London and Lace Bridal Boutique in Columbia, SC. What is now known at the 1,000 year flood has devastated our State. So many wonderful people have lost so much. The neighborhood of Pine Glen was one of the worst ones hit. I found out about Pine Glen through my alterations lady, Mrs. Beatrice Licorish. When the flood came, the people of Pine Glen, had less then an hour to prepare. It came as a complete surprise with most not knowing they were in a flood zone, as in a matter of hours, creeks less than 6 inches deep, became roaring 12 foot deep rivers. Lake Murray, outside of Columbia, was filling up incredibly fast because the rivers in South Carolina and North Carolina were flowing fast into it, and the water had to go. If the dam at Lake Murray would have busted, the entire city of Columbia would have found it self under water. This neighborhood was in a low lying area that was in a direct path from the waters being released. It filled this neighborhood with such unforgiving strength that it busted windows and moved homes from the foundation. Many home owners were carried out on boats because they found themselves trapped. Many of the residents feel as if they were the sacrificial lambs that were offered in order to save the city, and many are okay with that, but even more were left with nothing but large piles of broken dreams on their front lawns. The money that we are trying to raise with be for the cost of building materials and the repairs needed on all of the homes that were effected. Each of these houses that were flood had to have everything gutted down to the house studs, and then aired out to prevent mold and mildew from forming. All appliances and furniture will need to be replaced as anything that was touching the floor was destroyed. Most all of their clothing was also lost in the floods as well. We would like to present each of these families a check to cover as much of their loss as we can, that is why the goal is so high.
This is a truly tragic experience and we are asking everyone we can through this campaign to help donate all that you can so that these families can get back some of what they lost. Thank you.
