Congratulations to Robbie and Marie Hawes on their retirement. After many years of running Boathouse Bait, they are hanging up their fishing nets, selling their beautiful Pusservin Shrimp Boat, and planning for more travel, extra time with family and lots of doing things together.

It will not be the same on the ICW without them there. We will miss them at the bait stand; miss their shrimp and bait, their sunny outlook and consistent community support and sponsorship. While we are all a little sad to see them go, we are happy for them and excited for the next step in their lovingly shared adventure.

Don’t worry, they’re not going anywhere. They will be right here backing POC, pitching in and helping out just like they always have in their community. You couldn’t find a couple more community connected.

We love you Robbie and Marie, and Happy Retirement!
