2011-10-30 - to Georgetown, SC (mile 403)


This morning it was very cold.  We cranked on the propane heater just to take some of the chill out.  The mist rose off of the water.  It was quite pretty.  We weren't in a great rush this morning as we were only going to Georgetown at mile 403.  We spent most of the morning catching up on school work (even though it was Sunday...)  Connor has been interested in learning more math instead of other subjects for the last week or so.  I tend to jump on his interest as this makes my job as his 'teacher' easier.  He pushes me to drill him on the multiplication tables which is refreshing.  He also had a lot of questions about the universe and the big bang theory - with a quick google search we had a some material to quench his interest.  The day was short and we pulled into Georgetown after 3 hours on the water.  Georgetown does have a very busy anchorage with a lot of local boats on mooring balls.  They did have a few town docks that you could pull up to and stay as you visit the city.  They did say 'no overnight mooring', but it was so quiet in town.  The town stays closed for Sunday with exception to a couple of restaurants and one gift store.  It was deserted.  We decided to chance it on the dock for the night.  It is so nice to be attached to land.  Tomorrow we will try to find more groceries and get a bit of laundry done in town.  Also, it is Halloween, of course, and we will not deny the kids the chance at dressing up and candy!  This was the reason we stopped here - Georgetown is a lovely stop over with beautiful older homes near the water.
