| Sunrise in Charleston Harbor |
Left Charleston City Marina this morning on the way to Georgetown, SC.
Our route is taking us through the southeast/south central part of South Carolina. This area is unlike any other that we have been through. There is very little population here and vast expanses of low country wet lands that are truly beautiful. In September 1989, Hurricane Hugo came ashore in this part of the state. The eye of the storm made landfall in Charleston harbor and the main storm surge, reported at up to 20' in some areas, happened in this area of little habitation. Hugo was slightly larger and more intense than Katrina.
The state was also conducting controlled burns of the sea grass as we passed through.
We pulled into Georgetown Landing Marina and tied up for the last night of our journey. Georgetown is a historic seaport that was the rice capital of the US in the 1700s.
We walked from the marina to the historic downtown waterfront (~ one mile) and had a great dinner at the River Room restaurant.
