Hauled the dirty clothes to the laundromat in the new wagon. I like it a lot better than the old one; it pulls very easily.
After lunch, I set up the printshop and cranked out the log for May, June, and part of July. Also printed the announcements to stockholders of the next stockholders' meeting, which is late as usual. Had a problem printing the mailing labels, which wasted some time, but I finally got them to print out. By then, it was nearly five, and I knew everything would be closed, but I tried anyway. It was too windy to ride my bike, so I walked to the post office. Got there at 5:10. It closed at 5:00. Then I walked to the copy place. Got there at 5:40. It closed at 5:30. But at least the grocery store was open, so I bought the stuff we needed and lugged it home. My arms were about to drop off, when Roy came into view riding his bike. He put the bag of groceries on his handlebars and rode back to the boat. I don't know how he could ride with all that extra weight on one side, but he didn't have a problem.
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.
