Boy, did it get cold last night! Fortunately, this morning was calm and the tide was high, so we were able to take the boat to the marina without any problem, even though we touched bottom in one place, but it was soft mud, so we went right through it. So here we are, in my home for the next two months. The boat's securely tied, there's 50-amp electricity, and Roy rigged up the hose so I'll have running water.
I walked over to K-Mart and Shaw's super market. Stopped at a drugstore on the way to try to get some post cards, but they didn't have any. Neither did K-Mart. Bought as many groceries as I could carry and started back to the boat. In the meantime, Roy had put his bicycle together and ridden out to meet me. He carried the heaviest groceries back in his backpack. Then he returned to the store and bought more stuff.
The weather today was sunny but cool and brisk. I love this kind of weather. Everything would be great if it weren't for the fact I have a cold and a sore throat. I hope Roy doesn't catch it.
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.
