It was a down day today. We stayed in Dowry Creek Marina winding down
from the tiring day that yesterday evolve into.

I tried to sleep in but that is not something that I
can do. I fixed breakfast and basically
cleaned and straightened up the boat.
I did laundry.
The machines are free but quite slow so during the dry cycle, I returned
to the boat to top off my fuel tanks.
Someone walked by and asked if I got my laundry finished and that
reminded me that I had forgotten it well for over an hour. I jumped off of the boat and passing a lady on
the dock, she commented that she hoped that I didn’t mind but she and another
lady had folded my clothes for me. I didn’t have anything in the dirty mess
that would shock one but I was a bit embarrassed that someone else had to do it
for me.

A group of fellows used the car that the marina
provides as a courtesy to go into town to buy meat and groceries for a group
cook out. I really have nothing to offer
so I gave them $20.00 to be used as my contribution to the meal. They had bbq chicken, burgers, and bratwursts
along with many other fine side dishes that folks brought from the big
boats. It was quite a feast.
Tomorrow we have about a 40 mile trip to the fancy
River Dunes Marina. My good friend Jim
Philpott says that the town of Oriental in which the marina is located is one
of his favorites along the whole waterway.
We shall see.
Back in the boat, I set up my route for the trip and
read until bed time.
