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.

Sunday, January 2, 1994 - Warsaw, VA
Warm and beautiful! (Relatively speaking.) Had no difficulty leaving the dock. The only ice we encountered on our way south was in tiny pieces near the mouths of creeks and rivers. No problem at all. Went through some fairly heavy fog, but it soon burned off. Motored south all day, with a little assist from the headsail. Got to Kinsale on the Yeocomico River just before dark and tied to a marina. We went about 65 miles today! We're right at the mouth of the Potomac, ready to hop into Chesapeake Bay. We might make Norfolk tomorrow, if the weather is favorable.
