Campers at Longfield Stable's Summer Riding Camp take a break from riding to allow their more creative sides to emerge. 'Cairo', pictured here stands patiently while campers use him as a live canvas to create masterpiece works of art with finger-paint.

Our antique yacht and her Captain George York "grace" the cover and pages of CB/CH2 magazine this month.

Her name is Grace and she celebrated her 97th birthday this April; she’s still sleek, strong and distinguished. She doesn’t work every day, but on the days she does, she holds her own to gals half her age. She’s been known as the darling of a millionaire, but she’ll never scorn the admiration of ordinary folks. She’s Grace, the elegant yacht, captained by George York, moored at the Inn at Palmetto Bluff’s Wilson Landing, freshly renovated and ready to provide pleasure to 25 passengers, for several hours each week, on the May River.

Earlier this week, the South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel ranked May River Golf Course #4 in the state and Palmetto Bluff as the #3 Best “Stay and Play Resort.” The panel consists of 125 judges that evaluated the course in seven categories: route, variety, strategy, equity, memorability, aesthetics and experience. Take a virtual tour of May River Golf Course.

Kerry Sanders knows travel, but from a different perspective.

As a veteran Miami-based NBC News correspondent, he has reached global audiences from inside war zones—he was embedded with the troops during the Iraq war, covered the first Persian Gulf War from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and was on the front-lines for Hurricanes Andrew, Ivan and Katrina.

He’d be the first to tell you he doesn’t know how to vacation. Can this deadline-driven journalist learn to turn off the cell phone and Blackberry and get away from it all?

When was the last time you sat and watched the day slip away?

If there is an antithesis to the go-go world we exist in, he found it in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
