Moving on to Georgetown, SC

On The Road Again
Last night we relaxed at McClellanville with a nice sunset over the shrimping village. Many dolphins came into the marina for their evening meal.
This morning we awoke at 6:00 and shortly there after found an interesting visitor outside our window! A gator was still asleep and the tide was moving him backwards. When I stepped out on the deck to take a closer look he woke up and dove back down. It was a quiet misty morning as we pulled away at 7:00.
Three and half hours later we arrived at Harborwalk Marina in Georgetown, SC. We walked downtown for a grouper sandwich and then visited the Maritime Museum and the Rice Plantation Museum. In 1750 Georgetown became the center of rice production in the colony. By 1840 Georgetown produced nearly one-half of the total rice crop in the United States.
This is a great little town with a harbor walk by the water and lots of shops & restaurants, all within walking distance. Highly recommend the "The Old Fish House" restaurant aka Big Tuna. Great atmosphere and good food!
