Day 289 – Charleston, SC to Leland Oil Company, McClellanville, SC - April 20, 2012

We enjoy another beautiful (and relatively short) travel day today.  We are off the dock just after 8:00am and tied up at the brand new floating dock at the Leland Oil Company before noon.  Prior to the opening of this new floating dock, transients would tie up with the shrimp boat fleet just a little bit further up Jeremy Creek.  This new dock is a welcome addition to McClellanville for the transient boater and makes a great stop if you don’t want to run 57+ miles from Charleston to Georgetown all on one day.  It doesn’t take long to explore McClellanville, but you do get to see some absolutely beautiful (and amazingly large) live oaks – one that they estimate is over 1000 years old.
             Miles: 34.1      Bridges: 2        Locks: 0

much of today's scenery was quite boring

a rather interesting house along the intercoastal - we thought
it looked something like a bird

still plenty of salt marsh
