Dowry Creek Marina - Cold and windy but we have heat and I do a seminar

 

What an exciting photo (not!) Gray and dull but at least the wind is out of a protected quadrant. 

The weather is just terrible. The forecast continues to be for winds out of the north at 20 to 30 kts for the next three days at least. I reserved a dock for a week and we don’t plan on leaving until Friday which  will be for a full week of dockage. 

No sunshine but bright colors nevertheless. 

The winds are also blowing water out of the creek and we’re concerned that when we do leave on Friday after five days of a strong north wind, that the water level at the entrance to Alligator River Marina may be too shallow for our entry. 

We’ve been running heaters all day to keep the insides toasty. So far, they’ve been able to keep up with the weather. For a diversion, I did a seminar today on the use of Bob423 tracks and about 20 people attended from fellow travelers that also are waiting for better weather. The marina here remains full. 

This puts a major crimp in our plans on arriving in Deltaville early. Weather rules so we’ll go with the flow. Our internal deadline is to get home by June 1 for a doctor’s appointment for Ann. So far, we don’t seen any problem with that.
