Another great addition to a GREAT port of call, and did I mention that the town of Georgetown is now a SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS' NET SPONSOR!

Subject: Georgetown, SC Coffee Spot
Message: There is a winderful new coffee/internet cafe at 716 Front Street.  Called Coffee Break Cafe, run by a husband and wife team who are very friendly.  Wife does the baking and I can attest to the wonderful raspberry turnovers.  Georgetown desperately needed a spot like this.

The wooden boat festival Captain Fred speaks of below is now over. HOWEVER, note his enthusiastic comments about Georgetown (A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR) and Hazzard Marine!

Subject: Georgetown SC
Message: We are in Georgetown for the Wooden Boat Show. The weather didn’t cooperate and it’s high 40’s and rain. Georgetown is great, however. We’re at Hazzard marine which ;is a really nice facility and about a four block walk from downtown.

Wow, didn't know about Morsels Market! However, it sounds absolutely wonderful, and it's really great that anyone docking at the various downtown (Sampit River) Georgetown Marinas can stock up their larders after only a quick walk!
Perhaps some of you have already had the opportunity to visit with Morsels. If so, please give the rest of us a report by clicking the "Contribute Cruising News" link found near the top center of this and most Net pages. Thanks in advance!

Subject: Morsels Market, Georgetown SC
Message: Morsels is a very good place to stop for gourmet/deli items, and for bread/milk/drinks. When I was there in August, fresh produce was mostly local stuff… giant tomatoes, leaf lettuce, tasty cukes, etc.  I don't know what they carry in the off season.  They have more behind the counter than they have in the fridge case, so ask if you don't see what you want.

What a great report from Captains Ben and Barbara on one of my favorite ports of call! I ALWAYS enjor a visit to Georgetown, and if you read the message below, so will you!We are continuing to make our way south along the ICW and thought we would give you some information along the way.
We have been in Georgetown for the past 3 days and 2 nights at the Boat Shed Marin. It is a small marina, but at $1.40 pf you can’t beat the price. Their diesel is 3.94 per gallon. Complete hookups with wifi, 30-50 amp, cable tv. They have a small (not so nice )shower, but I (Barbara) always use the shower on the boat. Ben sometimes uses the marina showers. They have no laundry facility, but offered to drive me to one. Decided to wait until we were in Charleston.
The town is absolutely delightful! The marina is within easy walking distance of downtown. Beautiful oak lined streets that form canopies overhead and spanish moss hanging from their branches. Old historic homes with huge front porches loaded with wicker.
We ate breakfast at Thomases, where all the locals gather for breakfast and lunch. Say “hello” to Terri and listen to her southern drawl, even more than ours from Kentucky! We were able to get limited provisions for the boat at a small deli called Morsels. Lots of specialty foods and wine (what more do you need,… shrimp of course!). We bought fresh, off the boast, shrimp and crab from the shrimp warehouse right next door to the marina. They iced it down and double bagged for me. Guess what we are having for lunch!!
We took the historic tour by trolley. VERY interesting it lasted about an hour.
We were having some problems with one of the engines on the boat so Ben called Brian Smith (ADC) found out what he needed and Brian sent it overnight to the marina. Can’t beat that kind of service! I’m sure he gets it from his dad! We highly recommend the Boat Shed Marina for their great location and service to transient boat cruisers.
