Had my day all planned. I was going to go to the newspaper for a price quote on an ad. Then I'd go by the grocery store for a few things we needed. After lunch, I'd go to Pembroke Mall to see the movie I didn't get to Monday. But my plans were changed abruptly. I'd scarcely left the boat when my pager beeped. It was the company I applied to Monday. They wanted me to start at noon today! In order to get there by twelve, I had to catch the 10 o'clock bus, so that didn't leave me time to do anything except tell Roy and grab a quick bite to eat.
They wanted me to work until six. I wanted to leave at four, so we compromised on five. I was plenty tired by then. It will take me a while to get used to working again.
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.
