The wind kept howling most of the day, so we stayed tied to the dock. Plotted our course, typed the log, and other miscellaneous things.
Roy wanted to get another electrical junction box. I knew where there was a hardware store, so we went for a walk. Roy told me he had seen another laundromat and would show me where it was. We walked through the waterside park. Admired the Korean War Memorial, which was beautifully done. A few roundabout blocks later, we came to the laundromat Roy had seen. It turned out to be the same one I had gone to last summer.
Finally found the hardware store. It was closed Wednesdays. That figures.
Walked around a few more blocks looking for another hardware store but didn't find one. Roy decided he didn't need the box after all.
We disagreed as to the best way to return to the marina, so Roy went his way and I went mine. He got there a couple of minutes ahead of me.
Harriet, the marina manager, had been so nice to us that we bought her a box of candy for Christmas, but she wasn't in the office all day.
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.
