Florence Floods Hywy 17:9 ' 18

So there was a reason I was being woken up by flood alerts all night long.

Thanks to one of Florence's last remaining outer bands letting loose a deluge on us,

Ocean Highway 17  flooded near Sandy's Island

as did portions of Spring Street on Pawleys Island

Best fresh and affordable seafood around, 4 '15

Independent Seafood, Georgetown SC

See the shrimp boat  moored at the end of the dock ? This and a half a dozen other such vessels bring in their catch daily to this local distributor. One can't buy seafood  any fresher than what you get here.  Even the local cats and pelicans love the place, so this is where we buy our shrimp and fresh fish.

Day 2 Visit with Kathy Campbell Shem Creek 7'14

Shem Creek Marsh

Our next stop on the tour was Shem Creek  so that we could walk the board walk through the beautiful Shem Creek Marsh.    It had started raining rather hard when we left the Buckshot Campground  and we had been a little worried about the weather limiting our rest of our out of door activities, but as soon as we arrived at Shem Creek,  the storm passed, and the sky turned intensely blue with beautiful cloud formations

Kayakers on Shem Creek

We watched the kayakers and dolphin parading up and down the creek.

And of course  took a look at the colorful shrimp boat fleet.
