The day started out cold and damp, but by noon it had warmed up. Went all the way to 77! Roy painted the finish coat on the hull and also painted the waterline. Jofian looks beautiful again. I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture of her with the three planks out and her hull looking so awful. Then I'd take another picture now, and we'd have a great before-and-after pair.
It finally occurred to me where to find the address I needed, so I addressed the envelope and mailed it. Bought a few things at the discount store, which is similar to K-Mart. In the afternoon, I sanded and varnished the cabin walls. That's coat number five. Just one more to go.
Roy rode his bike to a sign shop and bought two computer-generated name decals for the boat.
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.
