Friday, April 1, 1994 - Haulout, Norfolk, VA

It's April Fool's Day, but neither of us could think of anything clever to fool the other one with.
Sunny and clear, but windy and cool. Brought a bunch of groceries home from the nearby IGA. Then finished sanding and varnishing the fifth coat.
Our little hand-held vacuum cleaner gave up the ghost, so I set out for HQ to buy a new one. Missed connections on the bus, so I walked the last couple of miles, but the next bus went whizzing by when I was still four blocks from Granby, so I'd have been better off waiting for it. Ran off some copies, liberated some cash at an ATM, and then went to HQ. To my surprise, they didn't have the kind of vacuum cleaner we wanted, so I headed back to the boat just before dark.
