Rain had been predicted for today, but fortunately, it didn't materialize. The sky was partly cloudy, and the wind was cold, but the sun shone. Roy applied a coat of bottom paint, and I sanded the port side of the cabin walls. Roy also boxed up the two pilot-house controls for the autopilot, so we could send them in for repairs. I took the box to the post office, so I could pick up the mail while I was there, but the mail didn't amount to much. Bought a few groceries on the way home.
We had read a letter in the SSCA Bulletin that told about special privileges cruisers receive in Italy (such as free docking) if they have an Italian translation of their insurance policy. I was going to phone a translation service to find out how much it would cost, but then it occurred to me that the insurance company might already have a translation and would send me a copy. I phoned them and sure enough, they did and will. So that saved a bit of moolah.
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.
