67 Miles Today - It Was Almost Like Work!

After leaving Calabash Creek we motored to Osprey Marina in Socastee, SC for the night. It was expected to be in the 20s, so we wanted to beable to plug in our electric heater. The Osprey Marina is a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful grounds, showers, laundry, a casual restaurant for breakfast & lunch and a friendly staff. We spent the evening with Lynne and Dick from "Ladyhawke". The next day we left at 1030 and motorsailed 32 miles to Georgetown, SC, which at one time was the third largest city in SC. They were the rice & indigo capital of the world! Carolina Rice! We quickly toured the town; then made dinner and turned in early. Today we weighed anchor at 0630, and motorsailed 67 miles through beautiful SC. We had planned to pull into one of the creeks before Charleston but we were making such good time that we went all the way to Charleston! Dolphins were entertaining us along the ICW.
