A slow morning of teams gearing up for a day on the water fishing the 2026 HMY Lowcountry Cup.
The docks were teeming with spectators, captains, mates, and anglers alike as everyone prepared for the Captain’s meeting ahead of the Georgetown Blue Marlin Invitational.
Stillness allows for reflection in both people and bodies of water.
The docks at 4 AM before a fish day are quiet, focused on the day ahead. The docks at Georgetown landing during weigh-in after a good fish day? BUZZING!
Imperial presence detected off the Lowcountry coast… Bailey’s Ark, an 80’ Viking, launched into Day 1 of the HMY Lowcountry Cup like a Star Destroyer breaking through hyperspace.
The world debut of the V-55 Sport Yacht by Valhalla Boatworks.
Three fish days, one mandatory lay day, and four days of comradery. The epic 57th annual Georgetown Blue Marlin Invitational wrapped up just before Memorial Day, but the memories will live on forever.
This is a recap showcasing some events I attended with HMY Yachts, including the 57th annual Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament, the HMY Lowcountry Cup, and the Viking and Valhalla Vip Sea Trial Event.
