Up at 0600, took Sailor to shore, and had the muddy anchor up by 0715. The Wacamaw River is wide and deep north of Georgetown for 30 miles. When we reached Bucksport Marina about 1130, we decided to stop rather than go another 30 miles to the next good anchorage and risk finding the small area, where we could safely anchor ,being full . The Bucksport Marina is pretty rustic, but they did have one working 50 amp pedestal. We had to hook several hoses together to get water. There was a nice little restaurant and the showers were clean.
Sailor had fun playing with a marina dog that looked like a chow with sawed off legs. I think that they used to build or repair steel boats on the land adjacent to the marina because there is still a large metal shop operating there. We walked up the road about a mile and only saw a couple of houses. A little further there was a new, massive water treatment plant so there must be some development nearby or something large is planned for the future.
In the evening we walked the dock and met a couple that was living aboard a nearly 100 foot long, three masted, steel sailing boat that he had built himself nearby. It draws over nine feet.
