Before leaving Richmond, I had spent weeks sanding and varnishing all the exterior woodwork on the Jofian, but the tropical sun had totally destroyed the varnish, so this morning I began sanding the doghouse, thinking I could do the whole thing in a few hours. Ha ha.
Phoned Linda at her office around 11:30. She was exhausted from two late nights in a row, so she was going to stay home and rest this afternoon instead of coming to the boat. (She usually just works in the morning, but yesterday she had to work half the afternoon.) She also told me she's going to have to work this Saturday, so instead of going to St. Michaels Thursday and returning Sunday, we'll leave Sunday and return Wednesday.
Continued sanding while Roy repaired the door to his head. At one o'clock, he took me to lunch. First we walked next door to the Bay Cafe, but the cheapest item on their menu was a turkey sandwich for $6.95, so we left without ordering and went to the deli at Anchorage Marina. They had delicious turkey sandwiches for $3.25, which was a lot more to our liking. In addition to the sandwiches, we had pink lemonade and ice cream bars, and the whole thing came to less than we would have paid for just the sandwiches at the Bay Cafe.
Continued sanding with Roy's help, but didn't get finished. Will finish in the morning.
Roy paddled to a marine supply store to order a new speedometer cable for the Sumlog, and I typed the log. Roy found out the Sumlog is no longer being manufactured, but there are some cables still available--for around $75. Roy's going to do some more checking before ordering.
