Sunny and cool. Rode my bike to a bank to see if they would cash the check from the B of A. As I expected, they wouldn't. I had to open an account and deposit the check. In a week or so, I'll be able to draw against it. You'd think in these days of computers and high-speed electronic transfers, they could clear it almost instantaneously instead of taking a week.
Was able to get a fourth coat of varnish on the toerails and rubrails. They're starting to look pretty good now. Roy is busy installing the transducer for the new sonar.
By the time we were ready to stop working and eat lunch, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, so we went to the buffet restaurant and ate lupper. Ate much too much.
(This is a lot of work, but will be done soon, honest. Wood boats are pretty, but lots of work.)
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.
