More sanding and varnishing. The boat's starting to look like the Jofian again. Thunderstorms were predicted for the afternoon, so we only varnished in the morning. As it turned out, there were just a few sprinkles of rain, but it was enough to keep us from varnishing.
In the afternoon, I worked on the log, and Roy rode his bike to the marine supply store. Found out why the cable hadn't come in--it hadn't been shipped! So they canceled the order and refunded Roy's deposit.
Roy brought back a pint of ice cream from the convenience store. Boy, was it good!
I talked with Linda on the phone about her plan to fly up to Long Island and sail with us for a few days, but it turned out there's a major time crunch. We expect to reach New York Harbor the 21st. Linda has a doctor's appointment the 23rd, and the preliminary hearing for her lawsuit is the 25th. Gina's school starts the 30th. So I guess we'll have to wait for a better opportunity to take Linda and Gina sailing.
Roy talked with his son Steve on the phone, and found out he hasn't sent the mail any place, but will now send it to Sag Harbor. The insurance policy for the boat arrived and so did Roy's renewal membership card in Boat U.S., so Steve gave him those numbers over the phone.
I walked to the grocery store and bought a few groceries and a gallon of distilled water for the batteries, while Roy changed the impeller.
This Blog is our mother's logs from her sails aboard Jofian. Our mother, Clare Holt, wrote a log every day and after her first sail to Mexico, she bought a laptop to write and save her logs. She sailed when the World Wide Web was first created, there was not as much on the Internet back then, no Wi-Fi, Internet access was very limited. I know if she were sailing today that she would be putting her logs in a Blog, so I am doing it for her. Mom’s logs to Alaska are on saillogsalaska.blogspot.com.
