Strong wind and pouring rain all day. Gales on the ocean and Delaware Bay. We're glad to be tied to a dock in a well-protected harbor.
Roy connected the new inverter and tested it. It works perfectly, thank goodness. Now we can use the microwave oven, the heater, the toaster oven, the electric blanket, etc., when we're under way. They'll run off the boat batteries.
Most of the day we lazed around the boat, watching videotapes. However, we did blow over to the Castle for another enormous $4 breakfast and an even more enormous $6 supper. It's a good thing the weather is supposed to calm down tomorrow so we can get out of here. If we stayed here much longer, we'd be too fat to get on and off the boat.
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.
