Nancy found another back-channel place to tie up, full of character and off the usual looper trail.
Not every place can be a Yacht Club.
We got 240 gallons of diesel, after all the stop was called LeLand Oil Dock. Even the diesel pump was a classic
Even the trees are really old here
Came in at high tide, at low tide I still don’t like watching the water drain out like a bath tub
As we were walking past this chapel a car on the street told us to go on in and take a look. It was open and we were to just turn the lights off when we’re done. This is St. James Santee Episcopal Chapel and each shingle was handcut. Inside there was some beautiful stained glass and another fine exhibit of wood craftmanship. We were told by several other boats on the dock that there was a great restaurant in town but it was only open until 2 p.m. and that we should really get over there as people come from Charleston to go to TW Grahams. This was another classic seafood shack, where Ron indulges in all the southern fried seafood. On our way home we stopped at a another seafood shack and bought fresh shrimp to have on hand.
The trees and foliage were beautiful here.
We spent the night with a bunch of shrimpers, which made for a beautiful morning reflection
My nephew Andy Blaho who lives in the area was crazy enough to drive to the IOP (Isle of Palms) bridge to wave wildly and take pictures as we started our morning leg of the loop. He drove and then biked to get to the bridge. Here are a few pictures from that effort.
We left Leland to head 28 miles to Georgetown Harbor walk marina. This was a shorter day for us.
WOW so hard to see all the water drain out of the bay.
