Day 171: On the Move

Charleston Maritime Marina to Leland Marina, McClellanville, SC (docked)

July 5, 2022

How wonderful to move again! After eight days in Charleston, we’re ready to explore further north on the ICW.

Leaving Charleston Maritime Center

It was pretty cool to see the rain line ahead of us as we crossed Charleston Harbor. The rain bouncing up makes it look like a fog bank.

The rain line

We had to motor under another swing bridge today. We have been in the line of traffic waiting for other boats to go by in the past, so this is a different view.

It was hot and still for most of the day. We could see rain in the distance but managed to avoid it.

Hoping we miss this rain

This marina is down a short creek where shrimp boats dock. Tomorrow we’ll take a walk to the shrimp dock and get some fresh seafood. We’ve also heard we need to try the crab dip…

View from our bow

We took a short walk tonight. There’s a thousand year old live oak near the marina. The neighborhood is very pretty, too.

Exploring McClellanville

We will be here for a few days as we wait for our Amazon package. We’ll do some more exploring of this low country town, too.
