Saturday, April 30, 1994 - Haulout, Norfolk, VA

While I was fixing breakfast for Roy and me (the guys had gone to McDonald's as usual), I raised the blanket on the starboard berth to open the middle cupboard and get out the placemats. There lay Al's missing knife! I replaced the blanket, leaving the knife where it was. When the guys got back, I had everyone come down into the main cabin. Then I had Al slowly and carefully raise the blanket. Was he ever surprised and happy to see his knife! We all had a lot of fun.
It's amazing how rapidly my elbow has been healing. I don't need to wear the sling any more, and I can finally eat with my right hand.
We've had fantastic weather all week--in the 80's and 90's. The guys have been getting lots of work done, and I even did some sanding and varnishing today. Used my left hand.
Among my mail was a catalog I'd sent for. It listed the interface and software I need for a weatherfax. Just exactly what I was looking for, and only $129, so I'm going to send for it. Hope it gets here before we leave. I filled out the order form and rushed it over to the post office, but the last outgoing mail was at 4:15 today, so it won't get out until Monday.
The side curtain was supposed to be ready yesterday. I phoned first thing yesterday morning, but she said it wouldn't be ready until afternoon. Then I got busy and didn't get over there. Didn't get there again today, so now I won't be able to get it until Monday, and thunderstorms are predicted for tomorrow.
I can't find my important papers, including my income-tax returns and all the papers regarding my medical claim. Last Sunday, in the haste and chaos, they disappeared. I've been looking all over and can't find them. I just hope I didn't throw them out by mistake.
