Yesterday we made 74 miles, and today we made 65, so we reached Morehead City in four days instead of six. Really zoomed up the Neuse River and across Pamlico Sound. The wind was fairly strong and there was a little rain. Reached Dockside Marina in Morehead City shortly after seven. The office was closed, so we tied to the fuel dock for the night and will move in the morning.
Roy and I ate supper at a waterfront restaurant called the "Sanitary Restaurant". Strange name, but good food. The restaurant's been here since 1938, so they must be doing something right.
Phoned Nancy. Was surprised to find out she'd lost her job last December, during a corporate downsizing. She'd been there almost twenty years. Fortunately, she's found another good job and will be starting Monday. She told me the Guidos will be going to England in July, so I'll phone Carol and arrange to meet them over there.
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.
