When we left our snug harbour early this morning, there was
a layer of mist on the water that soon cleared off. The water was at low tide allowing
us to see some logs which were now visible but of which we were ignorant to
when we come in yesterday. There were also three boats that had arrived after
us and we had to slowly skirt around them leaving as they were in the entrance.
It was an uneventful four hour motor to Georgetown except for dodging clumps of
vegetation in the water. The Waccamaw river seems quite high in this area and
pieces of wood, grass etc were floating down the river.
Georgetown has quite a history behind it, they were known
for producing indigo (jean dye etc) as well as having miles of rice fields.
After the civil war thing were less prosperous and they turned to wood (a large
mill is still here) as well as having a large shrimp fishing fleet in the
harbour.
We walked around town this afternoon, found an internet café
and relaxed. We are going to church tomorrow and will leave afterward to make
the next day to Charleston a shorter run.
