As predicted, it has turned very cold. Woke up to two inches of snow! But the water hasn't frozen and isn't likely to, since it's salt water and there's a lot of tidal action.
The wind is blowing like crazy, so the wind chill is around six below zero, but we're snugly on the boat. The sun is shining, so during the warmest part of the day, I walked to another grocery store, bought a few groceries, and rode the bus home.
Met another woman who lives on a sailboat in this marina. She's very nice. Her name is Mark, which is a strange name for a woman. She lives on her boat all year around and works in Norfolk. Has a car and offered to take me grocery shopping next time she goes.
Roy still has a bad cold.
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.
