Very nice Sunrise
We had a flood tide which runs against us when we came through Elliott Cut this morning
Elliott Cut was lined with beautiful homes
Wappoo Bridge..33 feet
Into the Charleston Harbor
We see Yorktown at the City Harbor
We would be a small fish among the Mega Yachts
US Coast Guard Docks
Beautiful old homes line the harbor
We remembered walking the harbor a few years ago
It takes your breath away
What a view these folks have
Large City Park to sit and watch the harbor
Charleston "The Holy" City of South Carolina
Large Cruise Ship in today
Beautiful bridge over Cooper River
Fort Sumter....National Monument accessible by boat....in the middle of Charleston Harbor
Back into the ICW at Sullivan Island...shoaling and flat water
From 1931 to the early '60s, Little Goat Island's only inhabitants were Henry "Goat Man" Holloway, his wife, Blanche, and a herd of goats. For more than 30 years, they lived on the island as hermits and, according to legend, ate what the land and sea provided
The Isle of Palm was totally flattened by Hurricane Hugo in 1989...so everything we saw here was built from scratch since then
Think they did a beautiful job
We cross Copahee Sound and civilization vanishes. We are on a 35 mile straight dredged cut with vash marshlands to the east and South Carolina Horseflies. Saddi and the Captain are having a "SC Fly Destruction War" against them. They like to bite!!! We cross South Santee River into the Fourmile Creek Canal and across North Santee River. Here we enter Estherville Minim Creek Canal and stay on this until Winyah Bay.
Marshes to the East
The ocean is somewhere over there
This is what you see
Marshes on starboard and port
This couple is from California and are headed to Maine
Ferry to Cat Island...wonder what is there?
Winyah Bay to Georgetown
Shrimpers Dock...jumbo shrimp $6.99 a pound
We are into Georgetown tonight....the third oldest city in South Carolina. During the boom years of indigo and rice, Georgetown developed into a town with beautiful colonial architecture, much of which still stands today. Harborwalk Marina is downtown and we can walk around town.
Dinner at the River Room....on the water
Harborwalk
Interesting Shoppe line Harborwalk
Biker's Bar and Grille
Private Homes
We are at the end of the walk....have to swim to the boat
Back around to our marina
