		Two years later, Blanding observed there were no bridges on the Santee, "nor is there a ferry but what is troublesome to pass, sometimes dangerous, and always attended with delay." At high water, a Santee ferryboat's course spanned as much as seven miles of swamp before reaching a suitable landfall on the other side.

		I can't see the end of the ferry dock and that's only about 1000 feet in front of me. I can't even see the lights at the top of the pylons which raise and lower the landing ramp and they're mercury-vapor floodlights.
		These are large ferries but apparently the cars queued have been there for two separately-scheduled ferry runs and I figure some of these folks are going to get home later than they thought.
