A little rain in the morning, but by afternoon it was sunny, windy, and brisk. Great day for a walk, so I walked over to the beach, which is just a few blocks from here. The wind was blowing about 25 knots out of the northeast, so the surf was really rolling in, and the bay was full of whitecaps. A Navy ship was going back and forth, and a few freighters were heading out to sea, but I didn't see any sailboats on the water. The beach had fine, smooth sand with few rocks or shells. In the summer, it would be a great place to swim, but right now, the water's a mite cool.
There are lots of marinas around here, and they're all full of boats. This is a good place for boats, because it's so well-
protected. It would be a fun place to go Royaking, too. Don't know how I'd get my Royak off the boat, though, much less back on.
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.
