Linda and Gina went for a swim in the marina pool, while Roy and I rode our bikes around. Stopped at the Post Office for some postcard stamps and at a grocery store for a few groceries.
We had to be out of the marina by noon or pay for another day. We left at exactly five minutes to twelve. The boats around us had already left, so it was easy to get out.
We motored out to the bay, looking for a breeze, so we could sail. Finally, a very light breeze came up, so Roy raised the spinnaker. It was the first or second time we'd used the new spinnaker. It sure looked pretty, with all its bright colors, and it worked really well. We turned off the engine and sailed along so peacefully.
We decided to spend the night in Annapolis. Went by a dozen Navy ships on maneuvers, training midshipmen. Tied up at the city docks, right in the heart of downtown Annapolis. It was the busiest place we've ever had the boat. Crowds of people kept walking by, and many of them stopped to admire the Jofian. There was even a free outdoor concert. Some little brat disconnected our electric cord. I was taping an interesting program at the time, too. After supper, we crossed the street to an ice cream parlor, and Linda treated us to ice cream. Yum!
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.
I bet the ice cream was the Cold Stone Creamery!! It is the BEST ice cream!!!
