CT to FL Day 18
Bucksport, SC to McClellanville, SC
Weather has turned COLD again... we thought we would not get any more COLD weather but it was 39 degrees when we left Bucksport Marina this morning at 0700.
It was a cold and gray day cruising down the Waccamaw River. Normally, this is a very pleasant area to cruise through but it was very dreary today. We did see some other boats traveling both north and south. One in particular I had seen most every day while we were in Stamford, CT this summer. "Wanderbird" a very large offshore style trawler that was docked at Brewer Yacht Haven East.
We had a fairly short day planned only going to McCellanville, SC and stopping at Leeland Oil Company. We have never stopped here and thought it would a nice change of pace. We arrived shortly after 1300 and docked on a large face dock. We were met by two people on the dock and a very friendly dog. she came aboard as soon as we were close enough for her to jump and she thoroughly inspected every nook and crevice of "SAILS"... LOL
We were secure at the dock at 1330 at N33°04.975', W079°27.743'. We traveled for 6.5 hours covering 46 nautical miles averaging 7.1 knots.
