| Georgetown has its own shrimp boat fleet - good place to buy shrimp |
The ride through the shallows of McClellanville was uneventful. There were no new shoals, just the usual. We had to buck a foul tide all the way to Georgetown but it wasn’t far and we pulled in around 1:00 pm. Diesel seems to have stabilized around $5.50/gal on the ICW. I can remember two years ago when I paid $1.80/gal at the same pumps.

| The usual layout - everything on ice |
When in Georgetown, we always buy fish at Independent Seafood, a short walk away from the marina. The fish is fresh and kept as usual for the fish markets on the ICW - on ice and not in refrigerated cabinets. The ice is used for the shrimp boats in large quantities so it’s a small matter to also use it for keeping fish fresh.

| The docks are first rate - ipe wood and well kept |
The price have gone up considerably, up to $54 for a container of crab meat, too rich for us. We had a less expensive catch for dinner. On Saturday, we are headed for Osprey Marina for one day and then on to St James Plantation to meet up with friends. We are speeding north!
