Day #285 - Georgetown, SC
May 12th, 2009We left beautiful Charleston this morning at 7:00. It was a bit overcast and the temperature had dropped during the night as a front passed through. About an hour into the trip this morning the sprinkles began and it was only 56 degrees. We haven’t had cool weather in a long time and realized we haven’t missed it. The high for the next few days is supposed to be in the mid seventies.
The scenery along the ICW today is low and marshy. Little has changed over the last couple of hundred miles.
Note the length of the docks that line the ICW. You sure hope you remembered everything you need from the house when you get down to the water.
We thought this was an interesting way to get your vehicle down the river. Also, notice the fisherman placing crab pots in front of him and another pleasure boater approaching. It was an interesting stretch.
Georgetown is South Carolina’s third oldest city, established in 1732. We will be staying at Harborwalk Marina overlooking the Sampit River Harbor. The boardwalk is lined with restaurants, galleries, antique shops and specialty stores.
The trip today was 65 miles and took us 6.25 hours. Time to go exploring in Georgetown.
The fellas stopped for a “cold one” while Patti and I did a little shopping and exploring.
