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.

Wednesday, May 4, 1994 - Haulout, Norfolk, VA
What nutty weather! Last week, we thought summer had arrived. Now we're back to winter. The wind blew out of the northeast all day at 30 or more knots, and it was cold and wet. Rained all day. No varnishing. No working outside, so we all drove to the NASA Visitor Center in Hampton. Lots of interesting exhibits. Saw two IMAX movies, one on space shuttles and one on discoverers in general. Spent the whole afternoon there, and then went to the buffet restaurant for supper. It has reopened under new management, and now has an even greater assortment of stuff to eat. Really good!
