Got up early and took the golf cart to the Halfway House to Shower. Rinsed Seascape and loaded the bicycle that Arlene had given us topside. Sue and Arlene came over just before 0900 to say good-by. We pulled off the dock at 0915and stopped at the Isle of Palms Marina to pump out our holding tank and buy some gasoline for the dinghy engine.
We were underway by 0945. We had the tide with us nearly all day. We had planed to anchor in Awendaw Creek but we got there by 1130 so we decided to go on to Georgetown , approximately 55 miles from Isle of Palms. We arrived at Georgetown at 1532. The wind was blowing 15-20 mph from the south and the anchorage next to downtown was crowded. We decided to anchor off the main channel in Sandpit Creek across from an industrial area in about 20 feet of water.
We lowered the dingy and went to town about 1630. It’s a nice little town that is trying hard to become a place to stop for cruisers and tourist alike. We walked through town and bought some fresh shrimp and flounder at the shrimp dock. Fried the flounder for dinner. The wind calmed after dark making for a pleasant evening.
