McClellanville

We left Charleston about 3 hrs past low tide as low tide was 5:30 am and we don't travel in the dark if we don't have to. The route to McCv was much like what I imagine a trip down a canal would be. Pretty straight, not much for scenery, in this case. We were running with a rising tide so the shallow areas were not much of an issue. We arrived about 5.5 hrs later. McCv's marina consists of one long face dock with probably enough room for 4 boats about our size. We were the only ones there. A "barebones" facility i.e. electricity, water and restroom. That's it but that is all we needed. The dock was new and well lit. McCv was the canned oyster Capitol back in the day, but when people decided they preferred fresh to slimy canned oysters their business pretty much disappeared. Now they shrimp, altho the season hadn't started yet when we were there. Population is 500 and it was absolutely lovely. The only restaurant in town was closed that day but we had a great stroll and very peaceful night. On to Myrtle Beach the next day
