| The place is packed! More came in after this picture was taken. |
After a quiet night at RE Mayo, we started north again and arrived at Dowry Creek Marina around 1:00 pm or so. A lot of people had the same idea and the place is packed! The owner told me that every slip available was taken. He said it was the first time that had ever happened.

| Here’s the agenda for the seminar 5/8/2022 |
The driving force behind the demand is the cold front coming down with 25 to 35 kt winds for the next three days at least. The first window we see for leaving Dowry Creek is Thursday and more probably Friday. That’s a long time to sit in a marina, even one as nice as Dowry Creek.
To provide entertainment for the ones holed up with us, I’ll be holding seminars on topics of general interest for cruisers such as using Bob423 tracks, tips on the use of Aqua Map, and other similar topics each day at 3:00 pm. If we’re holed up together, we might as well use the time constructively.
So we will be watching the weather report and seeing what day is best to leave. Until then, it’s the seminars, fixing the boat up (are boat chores ever done??), can catching up on Waterway Guide work. This delay is putting a serious crimp in our trip north but nothing can be done about the weather. I will not attempt crossing the Albemarle with 25 to 35 kt winds on the nose!
