Georgetown County

Georgetown to McClellanville to Isle of Palms, SC

We are s l o w l y making our way down the coast. We spent a few days in Georgetown while rain threatened. It wasn't quite the town it was made out to be in the brochure, but it was a fine place to stay and have a rain day. We got in a lot of walking in between the rain and we were impressed with how the residents went out for Halloween decorations.

When it was time to move, we were really limited in our options. Dave really wanted a camping night, but the ICW is so narrow and so swampy that we couldn't find a single spot that would give us shore access AND anchor. McClellanville was on our original journey list that Dave had planned, but after we researched it and the weather directing us on when to travel, we decided we could go further if we wanted. So we stopped in McClellanville to have lunch and I am really glad we did. It was a picturesque South Carolina town with one restaurant and a seafood market to boast about. We had a great lunch and a good walk and picked up some fresh fish and then got back on the boat and made our way to Isle of Palms.

We chose Isle of Palms because they had a beach that the dogs could run off leash on and they had good facilities for stopping. As we were cruising though the weather changed quickly on us and rain rolled in. We thought our great plan of giving the dogs some running time was killed. But by the time we docked and settled the weather changed again and run they did. This weather thing is so tricky! Just wait and it will all be different, but plan for the worst.

We had a great night in Isle of Palms and now are headed to Charleston for well over a week. We aren't exactly sure what that week looks like, but we are open to the ideas!

What Could Go Right? Well, Dave has made about 50% progress on the water leaking into the boat. It's manageable at least and he says he has more ideas. We also have rearranged our boat so that we don't have to put our bed away every morning and take it out every night and we both like that a lot better. We now have space to work, eat and sleep that requires little to no set up or tear down.

What Could Go Wrong? I am hard pressed to list anything that is currently wrong. Dave still has a list of projects to work on, but nothing is worrying at all. The one thing that has taken us by surprise this week is probably money. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea, it isn't a problem at all, but we both kind of thought at this juncture we would be spending less. Less on gas, less on dock space, less on food and that really isn't happening. It's amazing how fast things add up!Baca lagi
