It's remarkable how much better my arm feels today. As long as I don't move it, it doesn't hurt at all, and even if I do move it, the pain is very slight. Of course, I still can't do anything with it. We take two arms and hands for granted until something like this happens, then all of a sudden our life changes. It's a struggle to do the simplest little thing, like eating or dressing. Tying my shoelaces is a major feat. I don't see how Row ties his laces at all, much less any of the other skillful things he does. By the time the break has healed, I should be a whiz with my left hand.
Used my left hand to push a wagon-load of dirty clothes over to the laundromat. Folding the clean clothes was a problem, but I finally managed. Returned to the boat, ate lunch, and then pushed the wagon to the store for a few groceries.
Roy found a lot of rot inside the mizzen mast. He dug it out and is hoping he can repair it without having to remove the entire mast.
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.
