Prime 11

Charleston to Georgetown, SC

Posted on by Jackie Schanz
Approximately 62 miles

We left bright and early Wednesday morning, May 25th.

7 am we leave Ashley Marina

We pass through Charleston and will continue on the ICW. Our average speed today will be around 10 knots.

One last look at the Holy City
We pass by the Isle of Palms with its many beach houses, each with a dock of course!
We pass by crab boats, setting traps for blue crab. Blue crabs thrive in water 70 to 75 degrees, which means prime season is late spring to early summer. We read the water temperature at 77 degrees this day in late May.
Another first for us… a bridge that remains open for boats, but closed to cars unless a car contacts the bridge tender to close it.
The end of the road for sure.

It took us 5 1/2 hours to arrive to Hazzard Marine. It seemed like a really long day with not all that much to see along the way. But…it wasn’t stormy, so no complaints.

Home for the night

Georgetown is a small community, with some shops, restaurants, several marinas filled with pleasure craft and commercial shrimpers. From the marina, it is about 1/2 mile walk through residential area to the start of the downtown commercial district. There are definitely no highways to cross in this town.

Downtown Georgetown
A great sidewalk addition. Thanks Elvis!
Tree lined streets
What I found while shopping. They weren’t for sale, thank goodness!
We have dinner at Rollin Local. The captain is in the mood for sushi, and just our luck, it is half off sushi night! We need to wait a bit for a table, but it was well worth it. Highly recommend this establishment!

After a day of boat travel, sightseeing, walking and eating (and perhaps a drink or two), we are tired and head back to Prime 11.

Our dock for the night

With this latest post, I have caught up to our travels. So from now on, my posts will be current to where we are. Thanks for traveling with us, and I hope you enjoy reading our adventures.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all!
