The Letter G - Grey, gumbo, grouper and Georgetown.

At 7:00 am the sun was peaking out, the sky was clearing, and we were feeling ready to move on.  We had breakfast and read the AJC.

This guy had breakfast across from our boat. 

By the time we left McClellanville at 8:30 am, the best of the weather was gone.  The sky became grey all around.  Clouds lowered to the horizon, matching the dark water in the ICW.  At 9:50 the rain began. The rain came straight down without wind.  The water was almost smooth.  We were cozy inside the cabin and had good visibility.   It was a wet world.

After about an hour of rain, clouds lifted, and we puttered along.  Few boaters were out.  We entered
Winyah Bay right outside Georgetown, SC.  We came into Harborwalk Marina and had good help getting settled on the dock.  We walked into town and ate gumbo and grouper sandwiches at Big Tuna, which is also known as The Old Fish House.  The special was soft shell crabs from right down the road at McClellanville.  

When we had eaten every morsel, we walked a bit over a mile to a hardware store to buy an electric tester.  The shower pump is not working, and we need to fix it.  George and Mark Hill just replaced that pump in Key West, so why is it not working now?  The walk was wet and windy and long.  How long a mile is when you don't know where you are!  Also it's longer when you are walking on an errand than walking and talking to friends.  We were trudging and trying not to get splashed by passing semis.

Back at the boat we took naps and are now doing laundry (me) and engineering (George).  So glad to be in this great town with two other looper boats on the dock.  We have met lots of friendly folks today already.

I like the gentleness of this sign.

We don't see too many cats on boats.  This one was on the back porch here.  I feel just like she does.
