I’m following Stetson Blaylock today and he’s giving me a big change in scenery.
The past three days we’ve traveled to the Cooper River. Today we are off the PeeDee River, much closer to Georgetown.
Blaylock has slowly chipped his way into the lead in an area known as “The Fingers.”
It’s more properly known as Sandy Island. It’s the largest undeveloped island on the East Coast. But their are a lot of folks who live here. The community was established by a freed slave and many of the residents are his decedents. Their children go to school by way of a school boat.
Lots and lots on interesting things and history in this area. Blaylock is looking to make some of his own history here today.
He’s just arrived about 15 minutes after take off. And at least 1 hour and 30 minutes before the Cooper River Boys get to their destination.
