Lowcountry Social, the Target's notes.

"There's one. That's ridable. Look, another one." -Wattman
Challenging the shallows of shorebreak, 66th and Holidays. 7/29/2021 

   There would be no waves, no surfing, and no beach time tonight. At Holidays the conditions were cool, windy, cloudy, and at high tide absolutely nothing to ride. However, this session featured an old gang member from the OCBZ days. It had been about three years since T-Roth last joined us, and he hadn't changed much at all. In town from the gator shootin' lands of South Carolina, visiting his parents, he rode shotgun with Wattman and LWatt, although I was sure that was not why they were late. Of course the Watt, who claimed to see potential, wanted to go out and take the chance to break a fin. But better minds prevailed. So, we decided to head bayside early for a little Lowcountry social to get caught up. 

"Macky's- more about the view and outdoor vibe." -H. Target
Well, hell yeah. Who's gonna argue? 54th and Bayside, 7/29/2021

    This evening it was 54th street and Macky's, a bayside beach bar. Upon arrival, the parking lot was full, which had me wondering about the level of service we would get tonight. Yet to my surprise they were fully staffed, and had my Leinie Summer Shandy on tap. Thanks to a Shandy, and a few Yuenglings, the four of us kept yapping about old times and what's been going on in life, thus it took a while to order. To my disillusionment, all drinks were served in plastic cups. Yes, it was a beach bar, but if its in a cup it could at least be ice cold. Mine was not. We flagged our waitress down...again (she earned her money tonight)...and finally put in our order of Rockfish Fingers, Dotsy's Delight Crab Dip, Traditional Meatballs, Jerk Chicken Strips, and a House Salad.

Our good service continued as our meal came quickly and was hot, which has not been the case most of the summer. The Rockfish Fingers were the hit of the night, however they came in rationed portions...only five of them and small in size. The crab dip had too much cream cheese and filler, and not enough crab. The meatballs, a surprise menu item that was an unexpected choice were decent. The Jerk Chicken was also fairly good, well seasoned, but a little dry. LWatt's salad was just an average side-salad. Macky's seemed more about the large plate entrees, view, and outdoor vibe than the bar food. With lots of flatscreens around the inside and decent music just loud enough to hear, the four of us enjoyed sharing friendship and good times. TR said it had been a while since he laughed so much. Soon enough it was time to say goodbye. TR always adds to our levity and we wished him and his family good health and safe travels. We look forward to our next social.
