The nearest West Marine is in Annapolis. We can get there by bus, so we set out today. Since we don't have a map of the entire transit system, it was difficult to figure out the best way to get to the bus that goes to Annapolis. We ended up going way out of our way, but at least we were able to get home the short way. A combination of buses and light rail is required. The light rail is really nice. Clean and quiet. We were puzzled by the rails, which don't have any gaps in them. They look like one solid piece, miles long. We kept wondering how they did it.
It took about three hours to get to Annapolis, but only cost 95 cents each. It was raining and we were hungry, so we went to a Burger King for lunch. We didn't know where West Marine was located, so while Roy was exploring another marine-supply store, I phoned to find out how to get to West Marine. Before going there, Roy wanted to go to another marine-electronics store to see what they had in the way of sonars. All they had were the fish-finder type that looks more down than forward. By the time we got out of that store, it was three o'clock, and the bus to Baltimore left at 3:20, so even though we had gone to Annapolis primarily to go to West Marine, we returned to Baltimore without going there. But now I know how to get to their store.
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.
