Awoke to a lovely, clean, white, fluffy blanket of snow, about three inches deep. The boat was covered with snow, the docks were covered with snow, everything was covered with snow. How beautiful! But most of it melted off in a few hours.
Sure feels good to have my time to myself again. Went to the Post Office first thing and found a big pile of mail in my box. Then I went to the office of the local newspaper to find out what an ad would cost. What a shock! I'd been thinking in terms of $50 to $100 per week, and I thought that was a lot. Hah! An ad the size I wanted would cost more than $250 PER DAY! No discount for multiple days. So I priced smaller ads. Can get a little ad in the weekly supplement for around $50. That's for once a week. I'm going to check some of the freebie papers.
Spent most of the afternoon writing letters in response to the letters I received.
The mechanic worked on the engine again, but still isn't done. Will be back tomorrow.
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.
