Conveyances

Vessels, Shem Creek, Mount Pleasant, SC  © Doug Hickok


The calmness of Shem Creek is momentarily disrupted by the passing of a pair of watercraft. The kayak and the motor boat, in conjunction with the docked shrimp boat, are examples of nautical conveyances typically found on Lowcountry tidewaters.

What you will not find in these waters is the infamous Yellow Submarine or Captain Ahab's Pequod.


(Oh... and Happy Birthday Bucko!)
