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.

Monday, March 28, 1994 - Haulout, Norfolk, VA
Beautiful when I first got up. Sunny and warm, so I started right in sanding, even though rain was predicted. Unfortunately, the clouds soon moved in. By the time I was through sanding, the rain started. Didn't last long, but the weather remained gray, damp, and somewhat cold, so no varnishing. After lunch, I walked to the local post office, Revco Drugstore, and Food Lion. Bought some Bandaids and stuff that Roy wanted, but it turned out that what I thought Roy had asked me to get wasn't what Roy thought he had asked me to get. Anyway, tomorrow I'll exchange it. Bought a bunch of groceries and returned on the bus. Roy continued working on the prow, rain or no rain. Jofian's starting to look like herself again.
