This was lost and found day. I couldn't find the notepad on which I had a lot of important phone numbers, addresses, and other information. Hunted all over the boat for it, and even went out to the public phone I'd used yesterday evening to see if I'd left it there. Of course, it would have blown away by now if I had. The last place I remembered seeing it was on the starboard berth. How could it have disappeared? I was baffled all day. Then, when I started setting the table for supper, I got the placemats out and there was my notepad between the mats! I'd scooped everything up together last night without noticing.
Roy has lost the receipt for the battery charger that he took to a shop yesterday. He was sure he'd put it in his wallet, but it wasn't there. We hunted all over for it. He thought he might have left it in the canvas bag he had used to carry the charger in, so I looked in the bag and guess what! I didn't find the receipt, but way down in the bottom of the bag, all scrunched up, was my long-lost Medicare card! How it got there, I'll never know. I'd given up long ago any hope of ever finding it. In fact, I went to Social Security in Baltimore and applied for a replacement. Now I'll have two Medicare cards. Lucky me.
Spent most of the day entering the old portion of the log into the computer. Roy rode his bike all over the place. We decided it would be better if I picked the rental car up Thursday night instead of Friday morning, so I phoned Avis and made a reservation for Thursday.
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.
