29 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com To view the plantations from the rivers and dive deeper into the histories and mysteries of the region, Cap’n Rod’s Lowcountry Tours’ third generation storytelling captains are your best resource. Their covered boat departs from the dock behind the old bell tower in historic Georgetown and sails into the Sampit, Pee Dee and Waccamaw Rivers and out into the Intracoastal Waterway. Along the way, observe properties such as White House Plantation, which still grows and sells rice by way of implementing modern systems; Direlton; Weymouth, now a woodpecker sanctuary; Springfield and Arundel, currently wedding and event venues; as well as several others, including a waterside view of conservation easements such as Hobcaw Barony. Enjoy the river breeze and be sure to bring sunscreen, a water bottle and a cooler with snacks or a picnic if you think you might feel peckish during the three-hour trip. A bonus is that the boat has a bathroom on board. Book your next plantation tour at lowcountrytours.com. our town Hobcaw Barony.
