Day 15

Well, we are still in Georgetown S.C.  I didn’t think we would be here this long, but unfortunately the winds here have been pretty strong at times over the last couple days.  Today was just a beautiful day here in South Carolina; I even put on shorts and t-shirt.  As the day went on however, the winds came and the temperature began to drop somewhat, I even had to change back into long sleeves and jeans before dinner. As I write this I can hear the wind gusting and feel the boat moving back and forth in the wind.  Again, I’m not sure I would want to be anchored somewhere without protection from the high winds.  So staying an extra day, I’m ok with that given the circumstances.

During the day Rick and I walked around the historic part of Georgetown and looked at the old homes, some as old as the early 1700’s, and a lot built in the early to mid-1800’s. All in all, my activity tracker said we walked over three miles.  Not bad.  Here are a few pictures I took you might enjoy.

A great wrap around porch. 

This is the Indigo Society building.  When indigo was a cash crop used in making purple dyes

I thought this staircase was just great!

A stately place

You gotta love the two story porches

Another stately home, actually it was a home, the family left it to the town for a museum.

Piles of debris, hurricane clean up 

All in all, not much happening today, but after a few days you get kind of comfortable.  This isn’t a bad place to hang out, but it is time to move on.  I figure 6 more days and we will be in Brunswick Georgia, our destination on this leg of the journey.  The wind should die down in the early morning, so its onward to Brunswick.  Tomorrow we will be anchored out in Seven Reaches Creek, just north of Charleston

Until tomorrow, over and out.
