We love McClellanville. Wandering its old, sand covered streets is like taking a step back, some might say “far back,” in time. Leland Oil Company marina is certainly a bit on the minimalist side.

We stayed one night at Leland Oil Co on Oct. 26th, 2009. The dockmaster put us at the floating dock next to the shrimp boats. It is tricky at low tide with my Irwin 46 Ketch’s 6 ft. keel but did not run aground at mid tides in and out. We walked the nearby street but did not see any part of the town. The stop was part of a 332 mile uneventful 8 day trip from Dowry Creek Marina in Belhaven, NC to Charleston, SC. Our only problem the entire trip was fishermen with nets. They had them stretched almost entirely across the ICW at the Sunset Beach pontoon bridge (MM 337.9). We did catch one in our prop while waiting for the bridge to open,and drifted into the shallows and had to call SeaTow to get off the bottom and call a diver to get the net off the prop.
