A great place to stop on the loop is Georgetown, SC. We bypassed Charleston (since we visit it all the time) and went straight to Georgetown from Folly Beach. Our docking was a bit rough. Here it is, the third time docking and a storm with 40 mph winds kicked up just as we approached the T-dock at Georgetown. It was among the most challenging and actually a miraculous outcome with no damage. The dock crew wanted us to approach with the wind at the stern and the tide running with us !! Total no control and we found ourselves powering out of a near miss with a multi-million dollar boat ! We reversed and came to into the wind and docked nicely (unusually) with seemingly great control.
But Georgetown is a great historic town. Great for a one day and one night experience. Old homes and graveyards from the Civil War were among the attractions. Now, it seems to be turning into an artists community. History or art, this is a great place to visit for a day. Due to 40 knot winds, we were there for 3 days --more than enough !!
