"2000, November 29-30 ICW Trip Dataw Island Marina" Datha Island by grandmaR
Datha Island Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 6 photos
After our throttle cable broke we decide to go to Dataw Island Marina.
For some reason, the island is called "Datha" but the development and marina are "Dataw". I don't know why.
The trip was relatively uneventful and we were tied up at 2 pm after 24.4 miles at 5.5 mph and a total trip of 599 nautical miles. We ordered a new cable, and transmission seals, did laundry, downloaded email on the courtesy phone, and had dinner - very expensive restaurant. We get free cable TV here. They gave me directions for our son to bring us the charts which the Capn program people have sent overnight mail.
.
We got the new cable, but Bob ordered the connectors too small and he used the old ones. The new cable works fine and we saved the old one in case. Got a guy to align the transmission. Our son and granddaughter came with the charts and I installed them on the computer. They had lunch with us, and then he went back so he'd be there when our grandson got back from school. We got the seals (and the bill for all that).
We left about 7:30 to 8. The moon and Venus were in the same position as on the SC state flag last night - just needed a palmetto tree. It was a beautiful day. Bob did put on his life jacket (and the river was dead calm) to stow all the lines. The new throttle spring was too stiff and couldn't move it up past 1500 rpm without it automatically returning. He fixed it once he realized that it really was that way and not just whimpy throttle handling on my part.

- Pros:Helpful people and good facilities
- Cons:Takes about half an hour to get there from the ICW
