What is the commute from Dewees Island to Charleston?

A commute from Dewees Island to Charleston starts with a private ferry or boat ride to the mainland, since the island is car-free with no bridge or public road connection of its own. Once on the mainland, the drive into downtown Charleston runs through Mount Pleasant and across the connector bridges, adding real time on top of that initial water crossing. Weather and boat schedules can affect the ferry leg in ways a normal mainland commute never has to account for.
