| The Dolphin Slam at Edisto is April 29 |
The month of April is turning out to be one of the best
months of the year in the Lowcountry when it comes to outdoor activities. The
moderate temps provide a more pleasant environment for those who are competing
in sailing or cycling races. Warmer temperatures are trending towards an
earlier arrival in the past few years, triggering a response from the natural
world too.
For those heading to Edisto Beach for the weekend, don’t
forget to check out the annual Dolphin Slam tournament down at the marina. A
captain’s meeting with food, drink and live music will take place on Friday
afternoon at 6 down at the docks. This offshore fishing tournament for the
tasty mahi mahi fish is the first of many saltwater tournaments coming to
Edisto this year. To catch the weigh-in on Saturday swing by the marina from 3
to 6, and then stick around for the awards party at 6 p.m., while Sunday April
30 is the back up weather date.
If bird
watching is your passion, then this time of year is equivalent to the Super
Bowl of birdwatching. For those wanting the ultimate avian outing, travel to
Harleyville on Saturday for the Wine and Warblers outing at Francis Beidler
Forest, and Audubon Sanctuary in South Carolina. For a cost of $50, you can
stroll their boardwalk from 4:30 until 9 p.m. with expert birders guiding the
way. Besides food and beverages, and a silent auction, expect to see
Neotropical songbirds like the Prothonotary warbler, and other birds that
frequent their ancient cypress trees.
