Monday
4/09 We left Charleston City Marina at 10 to time our travel through some
skinny water ahead of us when the tide was higher. On the way put of Charleston Harbor, we passed Fort Sumpter, where America's Civil War began.

It's 52 degrees, rainy
and a bit of North wind to boot. Island Girl led the way and we made it
to our destination, Lelund Oil in McClellanville at 3:00. It's a small
quaint place in a small shrimping village. We settled in and it was recommended
that we walk down to the fish market and take advantage of being able to buy
fresh seafood off the boat (at the adjacent seafood market).

Tim
had met Leland McClellan (remember we are at Leland oil in McClellanville) back
in Key West, a fellow Looper from Texas who we talked to at the Looper
docktails on Sunday night. Leland and his wife Karen offered to show us
around town and take us to the local restaurant. Leland grew up here and
has all kinds of relatives and cousins and showed us all around this great
little town and then took us to the Bent Rod for dinner. There is nothing
getting shown around McClellanville by a couple of McClellans ;). Btw - Lelund's cousin, also named Leland, has been Mayor of this town for 41 years & he owns the
marina.
